Speaker 1 On today's part in my take,

Speaker 1 we have March Madness. We have so much March Madness.
It's coming out of our ears.

Speaker 1 If we sound like we did last Monday, it's because we're in the exact same spot that we were in last Monday, except now we're in Detroit, gambling our faces off responsibly, enjoying the madness responsibly.

Speaker 1 So we're going to talk all that. We're going to talk NFL.
We're going to talk who's back. We're going to talk NBA being ruined by super teams.
Really? That's a take. The NBA?

Speaker 1 Hey, here's a take no one's ever said. I'm not watching the NBA anymore because of the super teams.
Wait, is this about? Who is this about this title? Well, it could be Lamarcus Aldridge.

Speaker 1 It could also be Andre Drummond. Putting LaMarcus Aldridge in the super team conversation is a bit ambitious.
Let's save it. Yes.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 We're going to end up doing the whole show. We would.
We are so curious. We would just do the whole show beforehand and then just do all legends after.

Speaker 1 on the Drizzly app for $5 off right now. Today is Monday, March 29th, and we're back to our brains melting.
Yeah, it's been another long week in a basketball. Detroit ate my face this week.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, Detroit ate my kneecaps this weekend. I am,

Speaker 1 I'm melting. Wait, I'm completely melting right now.
As hot as I was last week, I am exactly that cold. Water always finds its level.
I forgot to actually, can we redo that again?

Speaker 1 It's part of my tape, presented by Bob Scu Springs.

Speaker 1 Welcome to Pardon My Tape.

Speaker 1 Today is Monday, March 29th, and it's officially the start of White Boy Summer. There we go.
Well, now you took my Who's Back. Oh, fuck.
Yeah, my Who's Back was going to be White Boys.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we'll see. Let's pretend like we didn't say that party.

Speaker 1 Do a third one. Do a third one.
Do it third one. Yeah, there we go.
Okay.

Speaker 1 It's part of my take presented by Bob, Stew, Spickles.

Speaker 1 Welcome to Pardon My Take, presented by

Speaker 1 Bocardi. Today is Monday, March 29th, and

Speaker 1 Blood in Your Your Shoes is back. That's right.
Well, there goes my other one. Satan is back.

Speaker 1 Wait, alright, so just pretend we didn't say White Boy Summer, but just know that White Boy Summer is happening right now. I mean, that's implied if you're listening to part of my take

Speaker 1 after the month of March. Uh-huh.
So it is White Boy Summer, but March Madness. We are back.
We're in Detroit.

Speaker 1 Our brains are melting. We watched so much action.

Speaker 1 We did see a lot of action. There was a lot of action.
There was a lot of bad action this week. There was so

Speaker 1 unders are back big time.

Speaker 1 With the exception of this game that's happening right now, and then that Miracle Overtime game with UCLA and Alabama. I think every under hit, right? Yes.

Speaker 1 So it's in the middle of the Oregon USC game right now with the Bill Walton special, the Midnight Specials going on. But yeah, Unders are back big time.
Hey, I got a Rick Riley. Okay.

Speaker 1 More like the Skeet 16 because everyone's shooting erratically. Ooh, nice.
Okay. There were some good teams.
So let's recap it. So let's start all the way at the beginning.

Speaker 1 Oregon State, Loyal of Chicago.

Speaker 1 Oregon State is just the greatest team of all time.

Speaker 1 And I'm going to say that about pretty much every team. Just be warned that I don't have a lot in

Speaker 1 my repertoire right now, but they are the greatest team as of right now. They do seem like they're the team of Destiny right now, right?

Speaker 1 It's like them and UCLA, I would say, are 1A and 1B in terms of Team of Destiny power rankings. It was such a boring game, though.

Speaker 1 The first half, I took the under, the live under, which was 108 at halftime. And, no, I think it was like 103.
And then it ended up almost going over for the full game.

Speaker 1 So Oregon State, they finished the regular season 14 and 12. They have the worst in the Ken Palm era

Speaker 1 since 1997. They have the worst home loss

Speaker 1 to a like terrible, terrible team.

Speaker 1 As an Elite 8 team, they have the worst home loss by far. They lost to Portland State this year at home, who is ranked 322 in the nation.
They were 14 and 12.

Speaker 1 And since then, they have won six straight games all against tournament teams. They beat UCLA in overtime in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament.
They lose that game.

Speaker 1 They're not in the tournament. They then go and make a run through the Pac-12 tournament.
They make a run through the NCAA tournament. And guess what?

Speaker 1 They're not even like, these games aren't even really close. They killed Tennessee.
They beat Oklahoma State somewhat soundly.

Speaker 1 And Loyal Chicago, they were in control of this game the entire game, like, or at least the entire second half. So it, like, I don't know.
They're just the best team of all time.

Speaker 1 Was it one of those situations where, in order to rebound, you have to hit rock bottom? And so, they hit rock bottom against Portland State.

Speaker 1 Sometimes, if you just have, like, a normally bad loss during your season, you just move on to the next game. But if you have to go home and be like, we just lost to Portland State,

Speaker 1 then you have to really

Speaker 1 make some decisions in your life. It's like if you wake up on the bathroom floor and there's blood involved, at that point, you're like, okay, maybe I should take a week off drinking.

Speaker 1 The best part about the March Madness is

Speaker 1 for me, well, there's many, many parts that are great, but one of the best parts is how destinies of like coaches are made in a two, three-week stretch. Yeah.
Wayne Tinkle, Wayne Tinkle is his name.

Speaker 1 Wayne Tinkle.

Speaker 1 He was 14 and 12. I don't know if he was going to be there forever, but he now is probably going to be like the next, when Cal Pari leaves, they're going to be like, Wayne Tinkle.

Speaker 1 Remember that run he had with Oregon State? Like, you can cement your legacy. He will live off this forever.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, I mean, he sounds like maybe the next

Speaker 1 Texas coach. Yeah, Wayne Tinkle.
A big program that's in need of somebody, you go for the guy that won some games in March. And Wayne Tinkle's winning in Hinkle.
Isn't that cool?

Speaker 1 Wayne Tinkle is just a cool name. Yeah.
So that game, yeah, it's not a good game. I don't know if Wayne Tinkle plays being on national television a lot.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, he's a guy that you see, you know, three, four times a year.

Speaker 1 And you're like, I love Wayne Tinkle. But if you see him every day, it's like, okay, I'm sick of saying Wayne Tinkle.
Wayne Tinkle. Oh, the jokes get used up.

Speaker 1 I'm in on Wayne Tinkle. Wayne Francis Tinkle, the second.
Oh, that's great. And he was like, yeah, let's just name.
Oh, he's from Milwaukee, so maybe he'll coach the Badgers in a couple of years.

Speaker 1 There you go. But yeah, he's.

Speaker 1 So Oregon State.

Speaker 1 2014 to present. They're a big 10 team.
They are. 2014 to present.
Wayne Tinkle has been at the helm of Oregon State. I don't think they've made the tournament under Wayne Tinkle.

Speaker 1 Oh, they did in 2015. but he has been very mediocre.
And then in a two, three week span, his team gets hot. And Wayne Tinkle is going to be the next coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Speaker 1 I was looking through these teams that advanced on to the Elite Eight. And with the exception of Oregon State and Michigan, these are some really good football schools.

Speaker 1 Yeah. A little shot of Michigan.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 that was mean. Michigan's a basketball school now.
All right, so Villanova Baylor. Baylor's just awesome, and they just jump on you.

Speaker 1 Their defense, I don't want to get too nerdy here with our basketball analysis. You already said the Ken Pom era.
Yeah, the Ken Pom era.

Speaker 1 I mean, I love the Triassic period. Shout out Ken Pom.
He's the OG.

Speaker 1 But the Baylor's defense is insane.

Speaker 1 They are so good pressuring guards. And we saw it with Villanova.
Villanova actually was... was game for half.
They were up seven and a half. And everyone's like, Jay Wright, look what he's doing.

Speaker 1 Everyone counted out Nova, not so fast. Baylor's really fucking good.

Speaker 1 And the mullet guy was doing alley oops and shit and it was cool yeah the two mullet guys were everywhere so I'm caught in between a take when it comes to Baylor maybe you can help me talk my way through this but I I'm caught between that they didn't play their best and still won so they're really good and they're beatable because they went three for 19 from three and they were a little bit streaky.

Speaker 1 Their best players didn't play their A games. Did they win ugly and now they move on? Or are they showing that they are in fact beatable?

Speaker 1 This is a good segue to the Arkansas Oral Roberts game, because I think what you have to say is we haven't had our A game yet. Watch out because Arkansas is under that category.

Speaker 1 Arkansas struggled with Oral Roberts, and they win at like, you know, it wasn't a buzzer beater, but was it with like four seconds left, five seconds left?

Speaker 1 I can't remember any of these games at this point. 3.1.
There you go. Thank you, Jake.
Oh, yeah. And Oral Roberts had that shot.
Wide open shot. Oral had the rim job.
And Oral Roberts was...

Speaker 1 That's it.

Speaker 1 Oh, there was one guys. there was guys who came up behind us at the bar, and they just kept on saying, you bet on oral sex, you bet on oral sex.
And I'm like, where's PFT? We need

Speaker 1 these are his guys. No, no, honestly, like, I'm not sure I could take another week of oral, to be honest.
No, I couldn't. I just couldn't.

Speaker 1 I personally couldn't. No, I definitely couldn't.
And we finally got the

Speaker 1 actually Oral Roberts' bad takes coming from some of the sports writers who dug into the history of the school, found all the quotes from all the people there.

Speaker 1 And only sports writers could make Oral not a feel-good story. Here we go.
Is that it? They could suck the fun out of the road. No, we're going to keep going.

Speaker 1 No, I'm done with Oral.

Speaker 1 I'm done with Oral. Okay.
I'm absolutely done with it.

Speaker 1 We're done with Oral. It's White Boy Summer.
Yeah, it is White Boy's Summer. Time to go to sleep.
Yeah, I need to take a break. I need to smoke a cigarette and have a sandwich.

Speaker 1 You are a little sad, though, that Oral is not. No, no, no.
I'm actually.

Speaker 1 You were very excited about the jokes that came along with it in the show.

Speaker 1 I stopped being excited about the jokes. I just wanted to push the merch.

Speaker 1 Yeah, when you came out, you were like, yeah, we should sell death taxes or i was like but i don't know if anyone would actually wear that uh-huh but we could sell it yeah you don't have to wear it you just have to buy it right exactly uh but yes to answer your question i think that the the line that you use is we haven't even played our a game yet which is arkansas arkansas can't wait for our a game yeah it's the it's the uh 2016

Speaker 1 17 atlanta falcons yes

Speaker 1 just waiting for their best game to be played musk if you're listening and i know you are thank you for the shout out during the press conference. That was very nice.
We love you.

Speaker 1 We're rooting for you.

Speaker 1 I have a tip for Muss. Okay.

Speaker 1 Is this another oral joke? No, no, no. You know, I'm like a film grinder.
You know that. Like, I watch the tape.
I pick up on these little tendencies.

Speaker 1 Baylor, I've noticed, when they're shooting shots, like when they're going for a layup, they tend to jump off their off foot and get up, get the shot up a little bit quicker.

Speaker 1 So like if you're righty, you know, you usually jump off your left foot once you're putting up a layup.

Speaker 1 They'll jump jump off that right foot before the left foot even gets down to try to get the shot up quicker. Tell your guys to be on the lookout for that.
Go a little hazy on.

Speaker 1 They do it every time.

Speaker 1 Goofy footed.

Speaker 1 They go goofy foot and they try to get it up like a half second before you think they're going to. Tell your guys to be on the lookout for that.

Speaker 1 Also, just tell your guys if you want it more on the glass, you win. And also just play your A game.
Just play your A game. If you want to play it,

Speaker 1 it's time for your A game. If Arkansas plays its A game, then they can win.
Yes. And then the last game that was on Saturday, Syracuse, Houston, which was the ultimate Syracuse.

Speaker 1 Like, this is just Syracuse every time in the tournament. The zone gets you a few rounds and then is like, oh, yeah, Syracuse isn't that good.
People forget the zone can't play offense.

Speaker 1 That's what it comes down to. The zone did its job.

Speaker 1 They

Speaker 1 actually played pretty well in the first half defensively. And it was a situation where you're like, Syracuse can't possibly continue to shoot this poorly.
Right. Breaking news, they can get worse.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but I think they made 13 baskets. Buddy Beheim was missing free throws.
Shout out Buddy Behim, who actually, this is going to shock everyone, but he knew Carmelo Anthony.

Speaker 1 Yeah, when he was little. When he was a little kid.
It was the wildest clip I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 It turns out that the kid, the son of the coach, was around the program a lot. It's nuts.

Speaker 1 I can't believe that. Jake actually thought it was very cool.
And by the way, I love having Jake sitting directly behind me. Yeah.
So I'm not looking at him. He's just like the voice of God.

Speaker 1 There's two things that came to my mind. What was the exact quote? I don't know, but there's two things.
Wow, this is incredible to my mind.

Speaker 1 I think it was wow. It was incredible Bayheim's kid knew Carmelo Anthony.

Speaker 6 Two things came to my mind when I saw that clip. One, this is really cool.

Speaker 1 It was cool. It was a cool clip.
But it also was like, yeah, I would be more shocked if there wasn't that clip.

Speaker 6 Big cat and PFT are going to find a way to S-H-I-T on it because it's the cool thing to do.

Speaker 1 What? Wait, what's the cost? Because everyone loves.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. You know what I'm talking about? No.
Oh, yeah. No.
Oh, yeah. I thought the

Speaker 1 PFT. I thought the clip was.
Everyone thought it was the authority. I'm going to find it.

Speaker 1 I'm going to find it. You guys would have been

Speaker 1 correct.

Speaker 1 Traycat PFT contrary. I thought

Speaker 1 the same thing. Ready? Hold on.

Speaker 1 Tiger and Charlie Woods. Everyone's like, oh, this is a lot.

Speaker 1 Okay, relax. Great point, Jake.
Oh, very cool. Fuck, we're not wearing red.
Oh, shit. You know what I'm talking about? God damn it.
My underwear is my underwear is shit. Hold on.

Speaker 1 I got to find, Jake. I thought the clip was awesome.
There you go. Everyone hates on J.J.
Watt, Big Cat and PFT. This guy is cool.
In honor of Tiger Woods' penis, I'm wearing red underwear. Hold on.

Speaker 1 Find me the exact quote, Jake, and I'll tell you why. Which quote? Find me the quote that you used on Stool Ben Spot.
I did not use it. I do.
I just want to say it. I want to find it.

Speaker 1 Jake, I'll listen. I'll hear you out.
I want to hear from you exactly why it was cool. Tell me why it's cool.
Explain it to us like we're five.

Speaker 1 Explain it to us like we're buddies aged running around high-fiving Carmel Anthony. And that's Jerry Dude's actually good again.
University history.

Speaker 6 He delivered the university's

Speaker 1 shot at Earl the Pearl

Speaker 1 and basketball. Wow, Wow, Soro Monroe.
What about

Speaker 1 Jonovin McNabb?

Speaker 4 Jerry McNamara.

Speaker 1 Oh, this is the quote.

Speaker 1 Greg Paulish.

Speaker 1 This is the quote. This is wild.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. It's a cool clip, but it's not wild.
What was wild about it?

Speaker 6 You're talking to the wrong person. I don't know.

Speaker 1 This is wild. Mellow and Buddy Bayhawk.

Speaker 6 Okay, you have the greatest player ever to wear that uniform, and then you have the coach's son,

Speaker 6 who right after that championship was running around.

Speaker 1 That's pretty unique. That is pretty wild.
It is. See, I knew you guys would do that.
I know.

Speaker 1 I agree. I knew it.
I think it's wild. I don't think it's cool.

Speaker 1 I think it's cool. I don't think it's wild.
So there you go. You got both sides.
You can do it. I think it's a very cool class.
I think it's wild. I think there's nothing wild.
No, dude, it's wild.

Speaker 1 It is wild and crazy, guys.

Speaker 1 Jake, do you, you know what, Jake? Let's do your updated list then because

Speaker 1 we'll be good citizens that just love sports. Okay.
Sorry for

Speaker 1 sorry. We're up up to sorry.

Speaker 1 Nice. Have a little

Speaker 1 have a little, you know, don't say it like that.

Speaker 6 I'm about to read that. Okay, here we go.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 We help. Okay, before we do that, let's do a quick ad.

One Shining Marshman. I like that.
One Shining Marshman.

Speaker 1 The ball is tipped. There you are.

Speaker 1 You're running for your life. All right.
You're a shooting star. Here's this clip.
A buddy beheim with Carlo Anthony. Isn't that wild? Isn't that fucking wild?

Speaker 1 Okay, go, Jake.

Speaker 1 Jake, you have to realize that PFT and I have, not even combined, do we have

Speaker 1 a full brain. So

Speaker 6 you guys are very smart gentlemen.

Speaker 1 No, right now, thank you. Thank you, Jake.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 But right now,

Speaker 1 we're in like fart joke territory.

Speaker 1 That's the style we're in. Jake, you knew better than to bring authenticity to us on a Sunday night.
You got Billy Brain. Yeah,

Speaker 1 we have Billy Brain.

Speaker 1 You fucking, we do this show for another hour. We'll be in buds.
Should we call Billy?

Speaker 1 No, I have him for my who's back. We can call him then.
Billy did the nice thing of texting us right before we

Speaker 1 be like, if you guys need anything, let me know. What? We should have responded and been like, yeah, dude,

Speaker 1 we need you to record it all. You know what we'll do? And edit it.
You know what we'll do? We'll hit Billy up later and we'll get his one shining moments. Yeah.
One shining Broman. Yes.

Speaker 1 With Billy Football. Yes.
All right, Jake, let's do it. Okay.

Speaker 6 We're going to have, I should have included this last week, but a Cameron Krutwig mustache shot, just him doing something with his mustache.

Speaker 1 Nice. And also, Jake, by the way, your

Speaker 1 one-shining moments have been such a hit that we had the kid from Ohio hit us up who was the best.

Speaker 1 Yes. Yeah, with this team.
The shoes, yes. He said, he said he just wanted to stay in the game and didn't want to come out.
So that's why he did it. That's a football guy.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 Probably the dunk of the tournament, Villanova versus Baylor yesterday. Slater.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 6 That was like their last points of the the game. Yeah.
I don't think they scored after that.

Speaker 6 We've got Ace Mus's Miss Buzzerbeater for Wall Roberts. Yep.
One of the, I think it's up there with one of the most, like, Gordon Hayward missed territory.

Speaker 1 Ooh. Like, it should have gone.
In the finals?

Speaker 1 Jake. No.

Speaker 6 Like, it's one of the most notable misses in NCA tournament history.

Speaker 1 Got it. Got it.
Yeah. He was awesome.
We should also have a mission. He was awesome.
He was like 30 a game. Yeah, he was great.
We should have Steph Curry Light.

Speaker 1 We should have Jake do the best misses in NCAA tournament history, too. That'd be cool, too.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Sam Ducker, when he airballed the ball

Speaker 1 in the first half of the 2015 finals, and I thought he had a concussion. I convinced myself he had a concussion.

Speaker 6 Creighton came out of the gate against

Speaker 6 just diving for every single ball. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Leaving some scrapes. Yeah.
So we've got a nice Creighton's fucking good, man. Lord Burn Award.
We're going to get to them. They're good.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Drew Timmy and AOC just for, you know, just for good, good looks. Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 6 Drew Timmy.

Speaker 1 We're reaching across the line. How about we do a celebrity master face of AOC and AOC? I like that.
Wait, what?

Speaker 1 The two AOCs.

Speaker 1 Who's the other one?

Speaker 1 Alex O'Connell is the other one.

Speaker 1 The first one's Alex O'Connell on Duke. And the second one's Alex O'Connell on Creighton.
Yeah, vote blue no matter who.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 6 Drew Timmy had an... He was like wide open for a dunk and kind of hesitated, but he still dunked.
Then he did a handlebar mustache for that celebration.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I thought that was a little little excessive. So I liked it once.
Don't run it up. I don't like it both times.

Speaker 1 It's fun if you do it after a big dunk, but after every dunk, it's like, okay, we get it. You have two first names and a mustache.
Right.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Next, we have Jace Howard, son of Jawan, scoring in garbage time for Michigan.

Speaker 1 That was great.

Speaker 6 He did a big fist pump, Jawan on the sideline.

Speaker 1 Love to see that.

Speaker 6 Javon.

Speaker 1 Do you think there's any videos of him with like Chris Weber? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
That'd be wild. Jalen Rose.

Speaker 1 Well, there's no

Speaker 1 championship to celebrate after that, right? Yeah, that's right. Take the banners down.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Well, they didn't win at Banner, yeah.
But if they did, we would have took it down. Just want to let Michigan remember that.
So now they're at negative one net banners.

Speaker 1 So the next one they win doesn't go up. Yeah, it doesn't go up.
Okay. Mark Turgeon was right.

Speaker 6 We have Javon Quinnerly, a very cool behind the head pass for Alabama. I'm going to finger around.

Speaker 1 That was awesome. That might have been the best pass that I've ever seen in my life.

Speaker 1 Because you see, once in a blue moon, you see the fake behind-the-back pass, which is something that I think everybody out there has tried to do in pickup. Yep.
Because we see it happen.

Speaker 1 We're like, yeah, I'll try to fake this, but eventually you just throw it off your ass nine times out of the time. You just carry the ball.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but he did a fake behind the back, brought it forward, and then a real behind the neck. It was crazy.
That was, yeah, Bama had a couple Harlem glow charters.

Speaker 1 They had a backdoor cut that won't make the cut, but I liked it.

Speaker 6 We have Alex Reese. This is probably the shot of the tournament for Alabama to tie it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, is that, though?

Speaker 6 It's still the shot of the tournament.

Speaker 1 I think that the

Speaker 6 shot of the tournament.

Speaker 1 The old Robert shot that didn't go in, I think, was a more impactful shot. What about Hep Cronin getting the vaccination? That was a pretty big shot.
He got to see Mick Cronin make a run.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I'd say that's number one, Jake.

Speaker 6 Hep Cronin. Yes.
They showed him a lot in that first four game.

Speaker 6 And then Alex Reese was crying, tears running down his face. They kind of did him dirty

Speaker 1 stuff. Yeah, they're just kids.
Yeah. And then I have.
I fucking hate them when they miss their free throws, but they're just kids. Like, I want to fucking

Speaker 1 fucking drive me nuts. You know what? We've seen more.

Speaker 1 We've seen more crying kids this year than we have in years in the past. And I think it's because there's nobody in the stands.

Speaker 1 So the horny cameraman whose job it is to just find a hot chick so that they can cut away to and be like, look, here's an attractive woman at a sporting event. Yep.

Speaker 1 That guy just has eagle eyes for the most red-eyed crying kid. Yep, that's a good point.

Speaker 6 And then I have one more, but

Speaker 6 it's going to... No, it's bad.

Speaker 1 It's very sad.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 6 So we can cut this.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. The Grand Canyon.
So Grand Canyon starter Oscar Freyer unfortunately passed away.

Speaker 6 He was a city, dude.

Speaker 6 Damn. In a car accident, which was awful.
He's a starter for Grand Canyon.

Speaker 1 That was really sad. Very sad.

Speaker 6 They should give him a tribute and put him in one of the girls.

Speaker 1 They will. I think you're right.
That's a good call. And that's something that that's why we have one Shining Marshman, because these are things that we would not think of.

Speaker 1 No, I would not have thought of it. And he's a good player, too.

Speaker 6 It's very sad.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He deserves to be in it.
Grand Canyon had a great year.

Speaker 6 Yeah. The Winners of the WAC.
He deserves to be in it.

Speaker 1 All right. So that's a good list.

Speaker 6 We're at 31 so far.

Speaker 1 31. Yeah.
Are you going to get to 64?

Speaker 6 Probably not. There's not enough games left.

Speaker 1 You know what we need to do? We need to go through the tape of One Shining Moment compared to what Jake thought. What do you think his percentage is going to be? I think it's going to be pretty high.

Speaker 1 I think it's going to be like 65%. Yeah, I think it's going to be pretty pretty high.

Speaker 1 We got to get to 64.

Speaker 1 We don't acknowledge playing weeks.

Speaker 1 All right. We'll get to 64, though.
We have to do that.

Speaker 1 All right. Sunday's games.

Speaker 1 Let's see.

Speaker 1 So Gonzaga's incredible.

Speaker 1 They fucking...

Speaker 1 This is now starting to feel like, and I guess we'll find out on Tuesday night when they play

Speaker 1 who.

Speaker 1 Winner this. Oh, winner of this, or USC.
So most likely USC. Almost definitely USC.
So, Gonzaga's starting to feel like the 2018 Nova team that beat everyone by double digits and just fucking,

Speaker 1 you know, blitzed everyone. And it was, we were at that championship game.
They were an absolute wagon. It's starting to feel like that.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because you thought, like, oh, Creighton, they hit the three. They're, you know, Big East.
They could maybe hang with him. They didn't hang with him at all.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was a shit pumping, and Gonzaga's probably not going to lose. I've just accepted the fact Gonzaga is probably going to win this NCAA championship.

Speaker 1 And they better, because if they don't, we won't acknowledge them even making it to the Final Four. Absolutely not.
They have to win for us to get to the next one. You got to win a title.

Speaker 1 And then that's their first Final Four. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Do you think they're going to bring Adam Morrison out for something? Hopefully. Like when they bring the team back? Yeah, hopefully.
I would like to see that. Absolutely.
Because Drew Timmy.

Speaker 1 He does the radio call. I don't know if he's been doing this tournament, but he does normally during the regular season do the radio.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I wonder how Adam Morrison feels about Drew Timmy's mustache. If he's okay with it.
Stolen Valor. Stolen Valor.

Speaker 1 It is a slight stolen valor to Adam Morrison, but it's a much better mustache than Adam had. I agree.
Adam, he kind of like embraced the fact that he couldn't grow facial hair.

Speaker 1 I don't know who else could fall under that category. Yeah.
But yeah, I do miss Gonzaga as an underdog, though. Yeah.
It was always nice when they'd be like an eight or a nine seed. Isn't it?

Speaker 1 And you'd be like, I have them winning two games. And everybody like, you are a genius.
Yeah, right. Isn't it crazy to think like, because

Speaker 1 obviously we're not of the age where we can say, oh, yeah, like we saw, I mean, I remember, remember when UConn won their first national title, that would be probably the most like it in terms of a team that went from nothing to, holy shit, they're like here to stay.

Speaker 1 Gonzaga has done that in the last 20 years. Yeah, Butler.
Butler kind of had a lot of people who are. Well, they've kind of fallen off a little bit.

Speaker 1 But Gonzaga was one school that if you were in a high school bracket contest

Speaker 1 and you saw Gonzaga and you had them winning two games, everybody think that you were a sports expert. Right.
It was like them and Xavier. Yep.

Speaker 1 And you get to be like, X-Men, X-Men going to do it again this year. And they'd always win two two games.
Mid-major, the battle of the mid-majors, Creighton versus Gonzaga.

Speaker 1 All right. Michigan, that was an impressive, impressive win for Michigan.

Speaker 1 A lot of people were picking Florida State. It felt like it was close to a pick'em.

Speaker 1 And they just, they were in control that entire game. They were.
So Florida State was the longest team in the country. Did you know that? Florida State is always the longest.

Speaker 1 Florida State is the same team every single year, and that they're good, not great.

Speaker 1 And when they have to get into a game where they have to hit open shots they never do yeah and they play great defense and they rebound the fuck out of the ball and they'll dunk in your face and then it's like oh fuck they need to actually start hitting some open shots whoops they don't that was fun for leonard hamilton who shout out him he was coaching with a walking boot hurt himself getting off the bus it just a holiday he should have gone i actually think they would have won if he had gone with the little scooter the knee scooter the georgia state was it georgia state or georgia southern james georgia state Georgia State.

Speaker 1 R.J. Hunter.

Speaker 6 And Ron Hunter was a dot. Yes.

Speaker 1 Coaches always win.

Speaker 6 Out of 15 first round against Baylor.

Speaker 1 There we go.

Speaker 1 Coaches always win with the knee scooter. But yeah, Florida State.
You're right. Like, they can't.
They don't have anybody that even has a good-looking jump shot. I like it.
It's all weird.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I do too. It's like

Speaker 1 the final form of what if they made the entire team out of Tayshawn Prince. Right.

Speaker 1 It's great when teams just stay consistent all the time. Like, we've talked about it with college football, the fact that Oregon doesn't score 70 a game anymore.

Speaker 1 That fucks my head up for years and years and years. I just love that I can always know exactly what to get out of Florida State.
This game was so weird, especially in the first half.

Speaker 1 There were probably like three or four runs of play where there would be like

Speaker 1 a shot that bounced off the side of the backboard, a steal before you got to half court, another quick turnover, and then a missed dunk all within 30 seconds of each other. Yes.

Speaker 1 So Michigan's looking, I mean,

Speaker 1 I think they were probably, what's crazy is going into this tournament, they were the one seed that people were most down on. Yeah,

Speaker 1 not us. I had them rank, well, I had Illinois ranked number one the last two weeks of the regular season, but I did have Michigan ranked number one three weeks before the end of the regular season.

Speaker 1 But yeah, they're, even without Isaiah Livers, they're looking great. Who do they have next, Jake?

Speaker 1 The bracket is a total, if you put a gun to my head and I had to tell you what the matchups are, I don't think I'd be able to do it. I think you'd you'd have to shoot me.

Speaker 6 Top left, Gonzaga, USC.

Speaker 6 Okay. Bottom left, Michigan, UCLA.

Speaker 1 UCLA. Oh, wow, you're writing off the ducks?

Speaker 6 Or, I mean, you literally just said probably.

Speaker 1 I don't remember saying it. 69 states.

Speaker 6 Top right, Baylor, Arkansas.

Speaker 1 Bottom right,

Speaker 1 Oregon State. Wait, start again.
Start again again. It would be very funny if Michigan beat like every recent national championship football team on their way to a national championship in basketball.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That would be.
Too bad Alabama isn't going to be there.

Speaker 6 Top left. Gonzaga versus either USC or Oregon, who's on an 11-0 run and down nine with three minutes left.

Speaker 1 Holy shit.

Speaker 6 Bottom left, Michigan, UCLA. Top right, Baylor, Arkansas.

Speaker 1 Bottom right, Oregon State, Houston. It sounded like you projected USC to win.
Sounded like our news desk is projecting that. We've called it.
We've called the race. We've called it.

Speaker 1 USC is officially into the Elite Eight. Stop the steal.
Here comes a three for them. I just looked at the live line.

Speaker 1 Three.

Speaker 1 Nothing better than looking at the live line and being like, here comes a three. No, I really

Speaker 1 do like. How'd you know that? I like Michigan.
Like, this game against Florida State was

Speaker 1 surprisingly dominant. I thought it was going to be a lot closer than it was.
Yeah. And I like Hunter Dickinson.
I'm saying his name again. No, he's awesome.
He is awesome.

Speaker 1 He felt as much length as Florida State had or has, Hunter Dickinson felt like he was taller than everyone by a significant margin. Right.

Speaker 1 So I think Juan Howard said after the game that we owe a lot to just having Hunter Dickinson's body on our team because our guys have played against a lot of long guys this year in practice. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's a scout team Florida State. Yeah, sometimes in the tournament, like Arkansas was a good example of it.

Speaker 1 If I were coaching Arkansas, I would just call a timeout and be like, hey, guys, you're all way taller than them and faster and stronger. So just...
Be taller. Yes.

Speaker 1 Sometimes just stand tall on a basketball court will get you a win. Because I guarantee you, the shorter guys out there are thinking that the entire time.
Yeah, they're like, fuck.

Speaker 1 They're like, these guys, everyone's taller than me. This sucks.
All my shots are going to get blocked. Yes.
Yeah. It's terrifying.

Speaker 1 And then the game of the tournament so far. Well, it wasn't the game of the tournament, but it was probably Oro Roberts, Ohio State.
One of the best games of the tournament, UCLA, Alabama.

Speaker 1 Now, we had Nate Oates on the show on Friday. Yes.

Speaker 1 That was 10 years ago. We had Nate Oates on the show on Friday.
So we're not going to bash his coaching philosophy. But if we were to do that, I would ask, maybe

Speaker 1 the lack of mid-range jump shots in practice and making it one point and saying everyone has to only shoot fours or twos

Speaker 1 had something to do with them going 11 for 25 from the free throw line in a very important situation. But I'm not going to say that.
No, that's not what.

Speaker 1 So I had that written down actually as something to avoid talking about.

Speaker 1 And especially the fact that he makes them worth one point as somewhat of a prophecy towards exactly how much a free throw is worth. Right.
Seems like it was a little on the nose.

Speaker 1 The lost star of the mid-range jumper. We can finally talk about that again.
But now to spin it back towards Coach Oates, they did hit a four-pointer at the end of the game. Yep.

Speaker 1 To take it to overtime. Yep.
I think maybe that's probably why Alabama got run out of the gym in overtime because they hit that shot and they're like, game over. We just hit a four-pointer.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So it turns out those aren't real. They were 11 for 25 from the free throw line.

Speaker 1 It's the worst free throw performance in the NCAA tournament since Kansas went 12 for 30 in the 2003 national championship game where Buddy Boeheim was in attendance.

Speaker 1 Buddy Beheim was there? He was there. He was at that game.
Was Jimmy Boeheim there? Little Jimmy? No, just Buddy. Okay, that's what I'm doing.

Speaker 1 Jimmy Boheim is like not having anything like Drew Brees' daughter. Oh, he's a buddy.

Speaker 1 Yo, shout out Jimmy Boeheim. Yeah, Jimmy, big fan.
Yep. Love you, dude.
Shout out Cornell, the big red.

Speaker 1 That's what they are, right? Yep. Big Red.
Yeah, sure.

Speaker 1 Ithaca is gorgeous. That's what they say.

Speaker 1 I've seen the shirts. It's at least a top eight Ivy.
Oh, for sure. Yeah, it's the Ivy League of

Speaker 1 Mid-state New York. Yeah,

Speaker 1 top eight Ivy, for sure. How many Ivy's are there? Are there eight? I have no idea.
I think. Are there eight, Jake? Well, I always include UVA and Duke in the Ivy League's because they have to.

Speaker 1 And Michigan. Yeah, exactly.
These are Ivy League schools. And Stanford, eight.
Okay, so top eight, I was right. Shout out to Jimmy Behan.
Chico State.

Speaker 1 Either way, the Alabama, like,

Speaker 1 yeah, that was bad. Free throws, very bad.
But we should also acknowledge the fact that Mick Cronin is a fucking awesome coach. I'm going to say Mick Cronin is a G.
Yeah. He's a G.
And you know what?

Speaker 1 He is smooth. And I'm not talking about his personality.
I'm not talking about his coaching style. I'm talking about his body.
He is the smoothest coach in the history of college basketball.

Speaker 1 He shaves his head. It's got to be at least twice a day.

Speaker 1 And it's so shiny. Yes.
It blinds the opposing coach and the referees probably. And we also had, we have to talk about shorts gate at the end of the game.

Speaker 1 The replay that they went to when the ball careemed off the, is it careened? Kareemed. Kareemed.
Kareemed. It careemed

Speaker 1 off the shorts of the Alabama player. And I didn't know that the shorts were considered part of the body.
Yeah. I thought that the shorts were just like no man's land.

Speaker 1 Shout out to everyone who's wearing tight shorts. Exactly.
Would have been better there. Charles Barkley said, like, if it was me, it wouldn't have hit the shorts.

Speaker 1 And then everybody was like, why, Charles? And he was like, because I'm too fat and the shorts would have been tighter. And then they were like, well, it just would have hit off your thigh.

Speaker 1 And he was like, yeah, I guess that's a good point. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Not Charles Barclay. Yeah, I'm with Charles on the original.
Anatomical analysis. But

Speaker 1 yeah, that was a crazy play. It was the whole game was crazy.
The Pac-12 is incredible.

Speaker 1 I'm so happy that Larry Scott has to sit in Indianapolis right now and try to take credit for the Pac-12 being good, even though he is no longer going to be the commissioner after, I think, this season.

Speaker 1 I think it's like as soon as the spring sports are done, he's gone. So he doesn't get to reap any of the benefits because he's done everything wrong for the Pac-12.

Speaker 1 So shout out all the Pac-12 people who listen to this show. Pretty much just Spencer Hawes.
Shout out. It's nice to see the Pac-12 have a moment.
The Conference of Champions.

Speaker 1 But is this not unlike Peyton Manning going out on top of the Super Bowl when he was off of his A game? No, I think. Like Larry Larry Scott retires, he's like, no.

Speaker 1 And he can spin it into, I've finally accomplished my main goal, which is bringing the Pac-12 back to relevance. No, he's in good hands.

Speaker 1 He's doing, I saw an article where he was doing like a press conference. There was like, dude, shut up.
You suck. You suck and stop trying to take credit for this.

Speaker 1 So it's almost better that he has to sit there and be like, because really, it's not about this. It's about next season being like, hey, the Pac-12 is great.
Look at what happened last tournament.

Speaker 1 He doesn't get to do that. But what if the Pac-12 starts sucking again next year and then he's like, you missed me yet? Yeah, right.
That's true. He probably will do that.
Like, they lost the magic.

Speaker 1 Also, big shout out to Tiger Campbell. I love your name.
Yep. Love your hair.
Coolest hair in the tournament, I think. Yep.
Facts. That's just it.
That's all about Tiger Campbell.

Speaker 1 And then USC is about to, the Mobley brothers, the Mobley twins are about to take USC to the Elite Eight. So that will be

Speaker 1 by Jake. No, I think it's official.
76. Ooh, talking all over the place.
76-64. I think this one is done.
But yeah, the Mobley twins are there.

Speaker 1 And again, I love any school that gets two great recruits and also puts their dad or AAU coach on staff as well. I love that.
I love that about college basketball because NCAA sucks.

Speaker 1 And I think that everyone should get to wet their beak. Absolutely.
Fuck that. Wet it up.
I mean,

Speaker 1 what's his name? LeVar Ball. Yeah.
This is like everything he had dreamed about. Yes.
Yes. Ooh, do you think that it was actually

Speaker 1 L'Angelo? L'Angelo. Lamello? No, Leangelo who started

Speaker 1 UCLA's resurgence because of the China incident. Yes, I think so.
I think you could probably connect the dots. Yes, I'll work on that.

Speaker 1 Okay, so anything else from the tournament?

Speaker 1 Arkansas playing tonight. Oregon State playing tonight.
I think that's who we're rooting for. I think we can speak for everyone.
Halftimes are too long. Bus bus guys.
We didn't mention the Cougars.

Speaker 1 So, oh, yeah, whatever. Houston.
Okay. Kelvin Sampson.
Good job. You do that.
They did.

Speaker 1 The problem is they beat Syracuse so soundly, and they are a very good team, but it was such an unappealing game

Speaker 1 because it was just bricks, bricks, bricks. That I don't know.
It was late. I don't know.
The NCAA's scheduling of these games, not to sound like an old man, but fuck, man.

Speaker 1 Why did I have to wait till 2.30 to watch a game and then I have to stay up till midnight to finish? It was tough.

Speaker 1 Halftime of the second game, the Florida State Michigan game, I was like, I feel like I've lived an entire day already. Right.

Speaker 1 But that's also probably because I woke up and worked out this morning, so I was tired. Right.
Or it probably had a lot to do with it. But you came close.
I packed my workout clothes.

Speaker 1 I put my workout clothes on. I contacted the fitness center, which was closed, and then I went back to my room.
Did you try your key card? No, it's closed. It's open.
It's closed.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, it's open. Last time we were here, I used it.
I went on the website and said the fitness center was closed. For us, it's open.
It said that it was closed. It's open.

Speaker 1 Seems like if you wanted to go, you would have just gone. Well, it said on the website, Hank, that it was closed.
It's open, but I used it last time.

Speaker 1 You guys are missing the important part, which is I put on my workout clothes. That's a huge step.
Huge step.

Speaker 1 Huge step. But yeah, the scheduling of these games was stupid.
Think of the kids. Think of all the kids that want to watch these games.

Speaker 6 Yeah, Thursday, Sunday, please.

Speaker 1 There you go, Jake.

Speaker 1 Jake knows what I'm talking about. A young Jake Marsh is sitting somewhere right now in America and is like, Daddy, I can't stay up.
And the dad's like, take another fucking Adderall.

Speaker 1 We're watching the fucking night game, kid. And then that kid's going to be all...
Well, no, because the games are a little earlier. That's my point.

Speaker 1 You grew up to be a good, fine, young standing child.

Speaker 1 And then now we're going to have a whole generation of methed out Jake Marshes. Yeah, it's very sad, actually.
Think about that. And that's Mexican meth.
That's not good old fat.

Speaker 1 That's not the Montana meth that Jake was on. They'll just have such a jaded view of life that they won't even think Buddy Boeheim and Carmel Anthony is wild.

Speaker 1 Sad.

Speaker 1 Jake, what was the latest you were allowed to stay up to watch sports? Whenever I wanted. Hell yeah.
I love

Speaker 6 it. His parents are very great with that.

Speaker 1 I do love Jake. Having Jake around for the tournament has been so much fun because he is an encyclopedia of tournament facts.
It's fun, but he does get negative.

Speaker 1 Like I gave Jake, we did another team roll yesterday where Jake and I bet on the same game, and if we won, I was going to give half the earnings to him.

Speaker 1 And Jake, just like immediately, like five minutes in the game, he texts me, I'm sorry for his pick.

Speaker 1 Well, Jake, everyone go listen to Stool Bench Mob as well, Jake's college basketball podcast. Thank you.
Buddy Boeheim was on the show. No, he just had Buddy on.
Great animal. On Friday, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Or Thursday. So one little nugget from their show, Buddy Behim actually said that there's still things that he's learning about the zone to this very day.
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 Which is, it is wild because he probably knows more about the zone than any player that's ever played at Syracuse while because he grew up in the zone.

Speaker 1 His entire life was the zone. He was touching Carmelo Anthony when he was four years old.
Yes. Yeah.
He's the zone runs through his blood. Yeah.
I don't know how we went from a compliment to whatever.

Speaker 1 Thank you. I love you, Jake.
I love you guys too. Yeah.
This has been a fun tournament. And it's not over yet.
Nope. We still have memories to be made.
Yep. That's true.

Speaker 1 No, that's like, I know that sounds sappy, but like,

Speaker 1 I'm personally gonna make at least one more memory. Oh, for sure.
Multiple memories. Maybe more than that.
I just thought of a really good segue if we're gonna get into who's back. Yeah.
Hey, Hank.

Speaker 1 Hank. Speaking of man-to-man and blood,

Speaker 1 you want to talk about a little Nas X?

Speaker 1 I'm not going back to college to be your friend. I'm going so I can get Uber One for students.
It saves you on Uber and Uber Eats.

Speaker 1 I'm there for $0 delivery fee on cheeseburgers, up to 10% off smoothies, and 6% Uber credits back on rides. Just to be clear, I'm there for savings, not whatever you think college is for.

Speaker 8 Get Uber One for students, a membership to save on Uber and Uber Eats. With deals this good, everyone wants to be a student.
Join for just $4.99 a month. Savings may vary.

Speaker 8 Eligibility and member terms apply.

Speaker 1 Okay, Hank, who's back of the week?

Speaker 4 My who's back?

Speaker 4 I'm not going to steal your guys's.

Speaker 1 I'm a nice guy.

Speaker 4 Indiana Basketball. Oh.
It's been a college basketball-centric podcast so far. But, you know, Mark Titus, I'm sure, is rejoicing in the streets.
They hired Mike Woodson.

Speaker 1 Their first choice.

Speaker 4 Their first choice.

Speaker 4 I think he's an assistant on the Knicks now. He's never coached college basketball in his life, but

Speaker 4 he's the future for Indiana.

Speaker 1 That doesn't feel like it's going to work. What do you mean?

Speaker 1 A guy who has never coached college basketball. Yeah, but he went there.
Yeah, he did go there. That does mean like the 70s.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So I was texting with Titus, and he's in denial, full-blown denial, because he was like, I think his response was, oh, well, we didn't get Brad Stevens because he's in the middle of a playoff race, and now we have Mike Woodson.

Speaker 1 Like, wow, Indiana is so down. Well, they also didn't get Steve Alford, who actually took himself out of the running preemptively, which is a power move.

Speaker 1 They didn't get Holsman from the Ohio State University. They didn't get Dan Dokich, who I'm sure was tossed around.

Speaker 1 They didn't get Brad Stevens. They didn't get Thad Mata.
They didn't get Shaka Smart. What happened with Thad Mata? Because he said that

Speaker 1 he was interested in it, but then he said he had to remove himself for health considerations. Red face.
Just red face. Red facism.
Just get Bobby Knight back there. They definitely asked Porter Moses.

Speaker 1 They asked Porter Moses.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 they asked Porter Moses

Speaker 1 because it was very clear.

Speaker 1 Loyola got bounced. They probably kept him in Indianapolis, asked him, and he was like, no, thanks.
And like, all right, well, who else? Uh, is there anyone out there who went to Indiana?

Speaker 1 Isaiah Thomas turned it down, uh, and then they asked Mike Woodson.

Speaker 1 So, listen, anytime you can get your hands on a coach with a track record of success at franchises like uh the Hawks, the Knicks, and the Clippers, he did, you got to take that shot.

Speaker 1 He did, like, actually get them to their best seasons, the Hawks and the Knicks, in like the last 20 years. But yeah, I don't, this feels very weird for Indiana.

Speaker 1 I mean, there's a flowchart that's in every athletic director's office that shows who you want to get. Like, there's the 1A higher, the pie-in-the-sky guy.
Brad Stevens. Brad Stevens was that guy.

Speaker 1 Then there are very successful coaches that have had recent success in your geographic area. Dockach.
Dockage. Then there's like a big school guy like Ashaka Smart who's looking for his next.

Speaker 1 And then after that, it's like the guy that grew up next to the college that has the college in their blood. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's weird. I mean, I guess we'll see.
Who knows? Who knows what will happen?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't really know. Who knows?

Speaker 1 Who knows, Indiana? There you go. Indiana, just walk around and just say to each other, who knows? Maybe he'll be good.
God, what if

Speaker 1 that would suck for Indiana fans if Gonzaga went undefeated, huh? Yeah, that would suck. Tough week.
Double blow.

Speaker 1 Bobby Knight should just come back. That's what I just said.
Yeah, they should bring him back and just let him run wild.

Speaker 1 No rules, Bobby White. White boy summer.
Yes, white boy summer.

Speaker 1 The Steve Alford move, though, I do love that. I think I want to do that with the Wisconsin AD's position, but if they asked me, I'd take it.
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 Like, Steve Alford basically said, I don't want to be the Indiana head coach before they even offered it to him. Okay.
So I think that's a power move that people should do more often.

Speaker 1 Pulling themselves out of consideration for a big-time job, even though no one was considering them. Yeah, no, that's true.

Speaker 1 But if Wisconsin did offer me the AD position, I would take it, so I'm not going to pull my name out of that.

Speaker 1 That's like everybody always saying, like, I have preemptively told Rihanna that I will not marry him. Correct, correct.
So, shout out to Steve Alfred. All right, PFD year, who's back?

Speaker 1 Yeah, so I was going to do for my who's back of the week, White Boy Summer. White Boys are back.

Speaker 1 Chet Hayes, the final boss of Fuckboys, as I like to call him.

Speaker 1 And by the way, Chet Hayes and Colin Hanks, like as the two children of Tom Hanks, you knew that when Tom Hanks had Chet, he was like, This one's going to be my fuck-up.

Speaker 1 Like, coming out, I'm going to name this one Chet. I kind of like Chet Hank.

Speaker 1 Listen, you're preaching to the choir here because if you don't take Chet Hayes seriously and you just kind of enjoy him, he is a legitimately hilarious person. Do you know what he is?

Speaker 1 He's a disruptor, he's an independent thinker. He is, he marches to the beat of his own drums.
They said Mozart was insane too, big cat. Exactly.
Steve Jobs was laughed at. What did he do?

Speaker 1 He got fired from Apple. So, well, Chet Hayes went on Instagram and said that that he proclaimed it to be White Boy Summer.

Speaker 1 But the genius part of Chet Hanks, Chet Hayes, whatever you want to call him. All white boys? Please say Chet Hayes.
Don't say Chet Hanks.

Speaker 1 The genius part of him was like, you know what would really make this White Boy Summer pronunciation pop is if I did it in a Jamaican patois accent at the start of it.

Speaker 1 But Hank, maybe you can fill in the gaps here of what White Boy Summer totally entails. Because honestly, it sounds a lot to me like my idea for six-pack summer.

Speaker 4 Well, he said he's like, it's White Boy Summer, but then he clarified. He's like, not MAGA, Trump, Redneck, White Boys.
I'm talking Jack Harlow, John B.

Speaker 1 Who is like the like Jack? Oh, John B. The

Speaker 1 yeah. Jack Harlow is.

Speaker 4 I would die for him. Jack Harlow is a rapper.

Speaker 1 Got it. Knew that.
I knew that. White Boy Summer.

Speaker 1 We spotted. So do you think we? John B.
No.

Speaker 1 I don't think we're part of White Boy Summer then. No, we don't.
Sounds like we're. Are you...
Yeah, but it's... You don't have to be white, though, for White Boy Summer.

Speaker 1 You just need two cool, like, well-known, like John B. Good-looking White Boy.
Jack Harlow. Jack Harlow.
Looks like me.

Speaker 1 Oh, so you're part of White Boy Summer. For sure.
Okay. And John B.

Speaker 4 John B., I guess there's an RB singer named John B. But I am 100% going with just John B.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was talking about Outer Banks for sure. Yeah.
So

Speaker 1 it's finally a summer for us. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's like White History Month, except it's all about the now. Yeah.
It's all about living in the moment right now. And guess what? Summer's starting tomorrow.
Yeah, there we go. In my mind.

Speaker 1 Do you see the follow-up?

Speaker 4 There's more stipulations.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. I saw that he said we're not wearing flannel.

Speaker 4 Okay. Or salmon-colored shirts.

Speaker 1 I'm out. Salmon colored shirts.
I'm out. I got a closet filled with salmon colored shirts.
No, I'm out. And sparries.
No sparries. No sparries.

Speaker 1 I'm waiting. No, I'm still in.
I can get rid of. I'm out.
I'm planning on wearing mostly tank tops. I'll wait for my summer.
Mostly tank tops. Someday.
The summer of the cats.

Speaker 1 Someday I'll have a summer, yeah, just hanging out.

Speaker 1 All right, wait. So wait, who's your.
So that was my who's back. I have another who's back just real quick.
The U.S. men's national team, the soccer team, is back.
Didn't qualify for the Olympics.

Speaker 1 This is like, I don't know, the

Speaker 1 fourth time in the year. Yeah, they do.
You wouldn't know because the U.S. hasn't played in it since forever.
Also, who cares? That's

Speaker 1 the Olympics. Big spin zone is

Speaker 1 for like the under-23 teams. So all of our good players on the U.S.
men's national team are under 23. They don't play on the U-23 team.
They play on the legit team.

Speaker 1 So also the squad that is going to win the world.

Speaker 4 Chet Hayes also said no calling girls smoke shows.

Speaker 1 So we're all the way out. This is not for us.
Okay. What about you? We decline.
What about smokes? Yeah, we decline. I guess.
You can abbreviate it? Time to evolve. Pikachu to Raichu.

Speaker 1 I'm of the mindset that if there's a better tournament or better championship, then the team championship in the Olympics doesn't count unless it's basketball because we kick the shit out of everyone.

Speaker 1 Okay. Yeah.
That's the only one that actually counts. Yeah.
For hockey, who cares? Stanley Cup's better. Olympics for soccer does not really, it's not even in my top

Speaker 1 15 list for best summer Olympic sports. Yeah, I said it because we don't win it anymore, Hank.
That's why. Do you see how I've made it? It's kind of like White Boy Summer.

Speaker 1 I'm just making the rules so that we win. For the women's team, that is that.
You know what? No, that's

Speaker 1 America's soccer.

Speaker 1 They are the unique team. You go back to back team.

Speaker 1 All right. Jake, you got a who's back?

Speaker 6 Yeah, baseball's back.

Speaker 6 So I feel like when spring training starts, we're like, yeah, spring training starts. Then the tournament rolls around and you stop paying attention to spring training and it just creeps up on you.

Speaker 1 And here we are. Yeah, we're going to go to Dallas Braden on the show on Wednesday to do some baseball players.
I'm very excited about baseball season because baseball, I think, was the sport that

Speaker 1 I think suffered the most not having fans in attendance. It didn't feel real with nobody in the stands.

Speaker 1 There's something about going to a baseball game in the middle of the day

Speaker 1 when you should be at work in the summertime

Speaker 1 that I'm going to go to. A lot of baseball games this year.

Speaker 1 I'm telling you right now, I'm going to go to...

Speaker 1 I missed everything last year. White Boy Son of a big cat.

Speaker 1 I'm going to support you, but this sounds eerily similar to when we had John Rosteen on in November and you're like, I'm going to get into college basketball all season. I did.
All season.

Speaker 1 Starting in February, I got in.

Speaker 1 I like the enthusiasm. I'm in.
Let's do it. Let's go to some ball games.
Bring our mitts. Yeah.
We'll fucking hang out. I'm going to keep score.
No, I'm not doing that.

Speaker 1 All right. My who's back is

Speaker 1 the Navy SEALs. The Navy Seals are back because Billy drunkenly tweeted on Thursday night, Friday night.
I don't even know. I would trade it all to be a Navy SEAL.
Now,

Speaker 1 we'll talk to Billy maybe on Wednesday or Tuesday's show about this, but it is, P.F.T. and I were talking when we landed in Detroit.
It is so funny for so many different reasons.

Speaker 1 The number one being, what does Billy have to trade? He has nothing to trade. He's an intern.

Speaker 1 who's still in college. Yeah, in Billy's head, he is Patrick Tillman, and he just got a new contract, and he's like, you know what?

Speaker 1 I'm giving it up.

Speaker 1 I'm all this. I want all this, guys.
I'm trading it off. I want to know what happened.

Speaker 1 I want to know what happened to Billy on Friday night. Like, what he was watching.

Speaker 1 He was either watching either like he got trapped in the YouTube algorithm and saw like a sweet ass interview with Jocko Wilnick, or he was watching Lone Survivor. Or there's Zero Dark 30.

Speaker 1 There's a good possibility Billy

Speaker 1 just read a couple articles about the boat that stuff.

Speaker 1 And he's like, I'd love to be in the Navy and then go over there and get the boat. Or yeah, and I personally, with my fists that are registered, I would punch the boat.

Speaker 4 David Goggins or whatever.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 So something happened in Billy's brain where he's...

Speaker 1 And then the other part is that

Speaker 1 rule number one of being a Navy SEAL is punctuality.

Speaker 1 And Billy fails at that all the time.

Speaker 1 It's that and also like Billy just, the bottom line is he wants to do cool stuff. He wants to play Call of Duty in real life.

Speaker 1 Billy's trying to figure out a way to have his whole life just be him doing stuff that he can talk about later and be like, that was badass. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I just, I would love to have him list what he would trade. Like, what does he have? Now, he's obviously going to get a full-time job once he graduates.
What's he going to do with his dog?

Speaker 1 He doesn't have a full-time job right now. But what's he going to do with his dog?

Speaker 1 He's got far too many animals that depend on him for survival.

Speaker 1 What's the name of the belt that he won against Jose? He'd have to trade him. Yeah, the Jose Conseco socks belt.

Speaker 1 We would have to vacate the title. Well, Billy probably just wants a job where he actually does have to register his hands as deadly weapons.
No, dude, they're already registered.

Speaker 1 It goes back to Nick Cage. Wasn't Nick Cage a Navy SEAL? Dude, they're registered.
Don't worry. I'm pretty sure in Con Air, he was either a Navy SEAL or like an Army Ranger.
Green Beret, maybe.

Speaker 1 Oh, man. So fucking funny.

Speaker 1 We do have to make Billy do the tests, though. Yes.
Yes.

Speaker 1 I mean, I want to just see him hold his breath underwater for as long as possible. Yeah.
Yeah. Like, really, like, way too long.
All of them. All the tests will be great content.
Like, for forever.

Speaker 1 Yes. He has to swim across the East River.
Yeah. I mean, an Avi SEAL would do it, right? Easily.
Also, Lil Nasa X.

Speaker 1 Is that real or fake? The shoes? It's real. So there's a guy that customizes shoes, a company that customizes shoes, and they do a lot of work, like with Nikes.

Speaker 1 Bubba can probably explain this way better than I can because I'm old. But he's got a shoe coming out from this guy that's like, it's got satanic imagery on it.
It's got blood in the soles.

Speaker 1 Like a drop of blood is mixed in with the ink that goes into the soles. Which is very on the nose for Nike shoes.

Speaker 1 Like people are upset about blood being mixed in with the Nike shoes. Like Nike.

Speaker 1 The sweatshops. It is.
Nike. Yes, there's blood.
There's a drop of blood in every shoe. Right.

Speaker 1 So why are people mad? So people got mad because... I can imagine someone getting really mad wearing Air Maxes and being like, this is fucking bullshit.

Speaker 1 People, yeah, people got mad because they thought that Nike was putting the shoes out.

Speaker 1 But it's like, Big Cat, if you were to buy a truck and then put like devil horns on the side of it, which would be badass. Right.
And then people get pissed off at Chevy.

Speaker 1 But it's like, no, the Silverado is the best truck ever made. Yeah, and nobody would ever do that to a Chevy Silverado.
Right. It's the grittiest truck on the planet.
Correct.

Speaker 1 Hardworking, dependable, all those things. And it's $100 off when you use promo code Pardon MyTake.
And a free tank, yes. And a cup of coffee.
We threw that in just now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but people got big mad at Lil Nas X.

Speaker 1 and we also did a music video where he got by the devil which people weren't happy about that's kind of cool yeah yeah i mean if you're going to get upset about musicians using satanic imagery you crazy you have to throw out the entire acdc catalog yeah what uh what whatever happened to being an artist it's also called call me by your name which was ambitious given all the army hammer i like all this stuff i'm yeah what let him be an artist so uh Lil Nas X, it turns out, is just really good at manipulating the internet.

Speaker 1 And trolling people. And so.
He's a meme god. Yeah, the amount of free publicity he got out of people being mad about his shoes sold, like, his shoes are going to be sold for $5,000 a pair.

Speaker 4 Well, he also did the other smart thing today where he posted a video after the backlash that was like, I'm sorry for the devil's shoes. And when you click the video, he like says, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 And then it just, his music video starts playing. Beautiful.
He's like,

Speaker 1 this is what I'm sorry for. And then it's just.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Team Lil and Las X.

Speaker 1 All right, should we do, we should talk a little MBA and NFL.

Speaker 9 Hey, this is Rhea from Chicks in the Office, and this season, we're heading home for the holidays with Abercrombie and Fitch. We all know our calendars are about to get chaotic.

Speaker 9 For non-stop plans, Abercrombie has the pieces to curate your perfect seasonal wardrobe, sweaters and denim for casual plans, party dresses for nights out, and comfy matching sets for everything in between.

Speaker 9 Keep the chaos cute this season in Abercrombie. Shop their new holiday outfits in the app online or in stores.

Speaker 1 Hey, it's PFT here,

Speaker 1 game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Okay, so the NBA is ruined. R.I.P.
NBA. Damn, I can't believe this.
I missed the NBA back when it was good in 2016, 2017, 2013, 2014, before there were all these super teams.

Speaker 1 So Lamarcus Aldridge signing with the Nets had everyone upset. I still don't understand why.

Speaker 1 And everyone does the tweet where it's like, look how many all-stars the Nets have, you know, all-star appearances.

Speaker 1 between Blake, Kyrie, James Harden, KD, and now Lamarcus Aldridge. I mean, Andy Dalton was an all-star.
This is, they're doing, everyone who's upset about this is doing my Kevin White bit.

Speaker 1 Like, Kevin White's a top 10 pick. Like, eventually, you get old, and LaMarcus Aldridge, you know, great, great career.
He's not LaMarcus Aldridge of, you know.

Speaker 1 Five, ten years ago. No, he still can't jump.
Actually, there's one game a year where LaMarcus Aldridge remembers how to jump. And then you're like, holy shit, he's still got it.

Speaker 1 I joked that when he signed with the Nets, everybody was wondering, like, what is the next move that the Nets are going to make?

Speaker 1 Because I think that there are probably a lot of players out there that want to join the Nets now. Yeah.
Just to get that. I want to join the Nets.
I would love to join the Nets, too.

Speaker 1 I said it's probably going to be somebody like Al Horford. He would be like the epitome of an old guy that would go to a team like that.
And then...

Speaker 1 Two minutes later, it was like Al Horford does not expect to play for the rest of the season for the Thunder, and he's trying to get a trade out of there.

Speaker 1 I'm pre-calling it. No, but it said that he was sticking around and like playing pickup with his teammates.
Oh, I'm withdrawing my pre-call in that case.

Speaker 1 I also think the Nets, do they even have, I don't think they can. They've got one more spot.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 that's for J.J. Reddick and J.J.
Reddick only. Well, no, he got trades.
No, I know. I know.

Speaker 1 The trade deadline. Yeah, no, I know.
I don't know how any of that stuff. They still do buyouts and shit.
Spencer Hawes. Yeah.
Second Spencer Hawes.

Speaker 1 Boom. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Deli. Deli on the Nets would really, he'd be the straw that stirs the drink.
And then Andre Drummond signed with the Lakers. So then the Lake.
Here's the.

Speaker 1 Every time this happens, and everyone's like, I'm done watching the NBA.

Speaker 1 I'm not done watching the NBA because it's sports and I'm going to watch every fucking sport that's on, especially in the playoffs. Absolutely.
Like, who cares? I know. Oh, well, it's inevitable.

Speaker 1 Do you know what? Do you?

Speaker 1 I would love to see the amount of people that tweet, why would you watch the NBA? We already know who's going to win it all, who are also die-hard college football fans. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They're like, oh, dude, there is no sport in all of the major sports that is more inevitable than college football. Well, and here's the thing: we don't know who's going to win it all this year.

Speaker 1 We really don't. Like, the Nets are, yeah, they've got the most talent, but then, but then the Lakers, the Jazz, the Nuggets are Nuggets.
Yes. The Bulls.
We don't know what's going to happen.

Speaker 1 They're in the conversation. Katie said it best.
He said on Twitter, well, at first he said there's no relax, champ, no relax when I'm on Twitter. I'm on 10 until the second I close the app.

Speaker 1 You relaxed. That's great.
But he also said that NBA fans are wild because they hate the NBA. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's like it.

Speaker 1 I mean, it is a bizarre frame of mind that a lot of NBA fans. Well, it's actually not when I think of how I feel about Dude Perfect or Impractical Jokers.

Speaker 1 Like, I know everything about them, but I hate them. I think it comes down to the fact, like,

Speaker 1 it's weird. I think that, like, if you broke it down, NBA fans seem like...

Speaker 1 They're at least the most knowledgeable about the sport. And then, like, NFL fans, you know, we just want more NFL all the time, which is 17 games.
We're like, yeah, fuck yeah, this is awesome.

Speaker 1 Even though all the players are like, this sucks. Like, yeah, this is sick.
But yeah, NBA Twitter is very weird like that. It's this league Twitter.

Speaker 1 It's, it's, it's weird to, although I don't even know if those people are complaining. I don't know who's complaining.
I want to, I want to hear from someone who's complaining.

Speaker 1 And I bet you they're an Alabama football fan. I actually want to, yeah.
Only complain, though, if you recently started to not like NBA. Right.
I'm talking like the last year or two. Right.

Speaker 1 And then also, you have to, if you're going to, if I'm going to hear from you, I also want it a signed affidavit saying that you will not watch a second of the NBA playoffs.

Speaker 1 Because I have a feeling a lot of people who tweet that and say that are still going to tune into the NBA Finals. Oh, buddy, when it's late in May, and that's the only thing on it.

Speaker 1 With the exception of baseball, which we love.

Speaker 1 You just already forgot about it. Which we love.

Speaker 1 Literally just took you two seconds to forget about baseball. I forgot about baseball.
Yeah. But yes, we're going to be watching the NBA playoffs.
Yes, and baseball. And baseball.
And hockey.

Speaker 1 And all the sports. Hockey.

Speaker 1 We could call it sports guys. I don't know.

Speaker 1 We might just like sports. Listen, when it's

Speaker 1 after the NBA playoffs and the NHL playoffs are over, it's baseball time, baby. I am fascinated by the sports fan that is like diehard one sport and refuses to watch all others.

Speaker 1 Rusty. Yeah, they're a lot.
Yeah, Rosty, but like those people fascinate me. He's like, I don't know.
What else do you want? Like, for the rest of the year, there's still sports on. Just fucking.

Speaker 1 You don't have to be diehard. No, you can watch it.
If you're watching the finals, finals of any sport, I'm watching. You can watch it socially.
That's a Rossini. Yeah, that's true.
He does.

Speaker 1 Football socially.

Speaker 1 Okay, and then the NFL. So on Friday,

Speaker 1 after we had taped Friday's show,

Speaker 1 the trade of a million different picks was done. So what happened was the 49ers traded up to three.
The Dolphins traded back to 12. The 49ers gave them the 2022 and 2023 first.

Speaker 1 And then right after that, the Eagles traded with the Dolphins. So the Eagles went from six to 12 and the Dolphins went back up to six.
Got it all? Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 1 So the Dolphins took the Laramie Tunsell. If Laramie Tunsell had not ripped that gas mask bong on draft night,

Speaker 1 then the Dolphins would be out of the top 10 right now. Correct.
They got four picks from Laramie Tunsell falling in the draft.

Speaker 1 And then the Eagles, if Carson Wentz plays a certain amount of time next year, will have three first-round picks next year. So the Eagles actually, like,

Speaker 1 that's the best way to restart a rebuild right there. They got three picks coming next year.
They got the 12th pick this year.

Speaker 1 The biggest ramification from all this is it's clear the 49ers traded up for a quarterback.

Speaker 1 John Lynch said afterwards, like, no, Jimmy Garoppolo is still our guy. Okay, no, but whatever.

Speaker 1 Thanks for saying that. He said, Jimmy Garoppolo is our guy this year.
Yeah, right. Okay, cool.
Until such time as week four. Justin Fields looks awesome in practice.

Speaker 1 Now, with the 49ers moving up, this is, it's just been a weekend of me imagining different guys in Kyle Shanahan's system. Yeah.
So, like, imagine Justin Fields in Kyle Shanahan's system.

Speaker 1 Imagine Zach Taylor in, or what's his name? Zach Wilson in his system. Imagine McCorkle.
Yeah. McCorkle Jones in Kyle Shanahan's system.

Speaker 1 And honestly, like, I could talk myself into any quarterback in this draft.

Speaker 1 Imagine Trey Lance and Kyle Shanahan system. Yeah.
It's going up. Imagine all.
And Zach Wilson's pro day. Everyone went crazy.
And then, you know what? This is another thing.

Speaker 1 I hate the people who are like, oh, not that impressive. It's a pro day against Air.
And he's just, you know, there's no pass rush. Dude, can I just enjoy the fact that he had a awesome throw?

Speaker 1 Like, that was a sick throw.

Speaker 1 I wanted it. I want that throw.
That was a big time throw. I want to NFT that fucking throw.
And then people are like, well, Sam Darnold did the same thing in the real game. Okay, cool.

Speaker 1 Cool, Sam Darnold. That's awesome.
Prospects make all of us tingly inside because that's the whole point. You don't know what they are.
You can imagine them to be Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 1 Half these guys are going to end up sucking.

Speaker 1 But right now, we can be like, ooh, that could be the next Tom Brady. That could be the next Patrick Mahomes.
That's the whole point of the draft and drafting a quarterback and getting your hopes up.

Speaker 1 It's going to be like 2011 all over again, I think, where we're going to see like four quarterbacks go in the top 10. Yeah, no,

Speaker 1 it's become, every single year, it's just a rush for all the quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's, I think the Jets are probably going to take Wilson, and then you have, you know, so, and the 49ers are going to take quarterbacks. So the first three picks are quarterback.

Speaker 1 And then what? I mean, what was Sam Ellinger's still out there? He was in Billy's quarterback bracket. I think he lost.

Speaker 1 He was number 12.

Speaker 1 He was a 12-seed, but he outperformed

Speaker 1 because he's a winner. Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 That's one guy I can't imagine in Kyle Shanahan's system, actually. No, I can't imagine him in any system.
No.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's going to be a shitload of quarterbacks drafted right off the bat. And honestly,

Speaker 1 I could talk myself into any of them. If I'm looking for a quarterback right now, they're all sweet.
Dude, all of them. And you know what's crazy?

Speaker 1 The way the NFL works now, the quarterbacks that were taken last year are already bums.

Speaker 1 Seriously. Tua.

Speaker 1 Time to cut bait. Jordan Love.
Remember, he was a first-rounder? That's crazy. He sucks.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you just do it for, like, it's so quick the league now where it's every quarterback gets taken and then a year later they're just old hat.

Speaker 1 So what would you do if you were Jimmy Garoppolo right now? I would just be hot and be rich. Rich.
And be like, it'd be awesome. Also, so perfect that Jimmy Garoppolo.
Now we feel bad.

Speaker 1 We feel bad for Jimmy Garoppolo now. Well, and it's also very bears-like to be like, oh, they could have brought the hometown kid back.
Jimmy Garoppolo instead. We're going with AD-14.

Speaker 1 Well, I also saw that the Russell Wilson trade might not be totally dead. I don't know if this was a case of Mike Greenberg just throwing it out there, but

Speaker 1 there was some talk about another three-way

Speaker 1 to get Russell Wilson in town. I don't think, I still think that Russell Wilson's just fucking with you personally.
No, AD 14 is my guy, and he's going to lead us to the promised land.

Speaker 1 By the way, the 17-game season, it's going to take me so long to do the math in my head with each of the records. What gets into the playoffs now? I don't know.

Speaker 1 Like, it was always in the back of my head. If you get 10 wins, you're going to make the playoffs.
And it's just for, oh, yeah, yeah, we had 10 and 6. We were 9 and 7.
Haha, 9 and 7.

Speaker 1 No, 9-7 doesn't exist anymore.

Speaker 1 9-7 doesn't exist anymore.

Speaker 1 It's honestly going to fucking

Speaker 1 exist. Like, what are the percentages now? Because I knew what all the percentages were beforehand.
Also, yeah, I got it. I saw it.

Speaker 1 Everyone tweeted at me that they expanded the schedule, and the Bears are the only franchise that never had a 4,000-yard passer.

Speaker 1 And now everyone's going to have 4,000 yards because there are 17 games. Got it.
Got it. AD-14 is going to do that in

Speaker 1 13 games. By the way, I've made an appointment at Sport Clips for January 10th of 2022.
It's a day after Fitzpatrick wins his first playoff game. Oh, there you go.
Perfect. Ready to go.

Speaker 1 It's in my Outlook right now. How many? I think I gotta like nine, seven, and one.
Yeah, there's gonna be a tie. The Bengals will have a tie.
The Eagles will schedule

Speaker 1 500 anymore. It sucks.
Oh, the last thing I wanted to say was:

Speaker 1 UFC was Steve A. Miochic, who is our guy who's on the show, got knocked out severely.
But I know we always say,

Speaker 1 you know, like it's a cliche to be like, oh, we need a 30 for 30 on this. We do need a 30 for 30 on Francis Nagano's life.
It's crazy.

Speaker 1 He worked in a sand mine when he was 10 years old in Cameroon. Did you need a beach? Nope, sand mine.

Speaker 1 Traveled to Europe, took 14 months, failed a bunch of times, had to go to prison because he went to France and like they illegally crossed the border, then was homeless. Failed what?

Speaker 1 Like getting from Africa to Europe. Like he kept on like with immigration and everything.
And then when he got to France, he had to go to jail for two months.

Speaker 1 And then he was homeless, training to be a fucking. And now he's a world champ.
It's crazy. He needs to be a 30 for 30.
He's also just like the biggest human being that I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 And I honestly, I'm going to say it. He got away Steepe by 35 pounds.
I'm going to just say it.

Speaker 1 I don't want to put Billy in a bad spot, but people are asking, is Billy going to call out Francis L'Aganio? He would never call out a manager. He won't.
He probably won't.

Speaker 1 He probably won't. But he should.
He should call him out and let's unify the belt. I like it.
I like it. I'm more concerned about the fact that there's a market for sand out there.
Yes,

Speaker 1 it's the most abundant reason.

Speaker 1 No, sandbags, dude. You got to put them in sandbags.
But I'm trying to think how much money I've wasted just like spraying sand off my butt crack. No, you can't do a sand exploring a sand quarry.

Speaker 1 What is a sand? It honestly sounds like the worst job of all time. Rock, sand, or minerals are extracted from the surface of the earth.
Yeah, so you

Speaker 1 just pick up a ship of sand. You go to the beach with a plastic bucket.
It's a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, they should do a 30 for 30 because that guy's he's

Speaker 1 awesome. He's terrifying in the octagon, too.
He's like absolutely scary.

Speaker 1 All right. Random number.
Oh,

Speaker 1 Breaking moves at fucking 12.

Speaker 1 The ship is out. They got the ship out? What?

Speaker 1 What'd they do? Did they blow it up?

Speaker 4 I think they just got multiple boats and wedged it out. No.
Giant ship walking the Suez Canal has been free.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. It's unclear how soon the vital drill is going to be.
You did this to yourself, man. You did this to yourself.
You brought it down yourself.

Speaker 1 Say it. Suez.
Suez. Suez.
Suez. The Suez.

Speaker 1 That's right. The Patrick Swayze canal.

Speaker 1 I'm kind of bummed out that the ship's moved, to be honest with you.

Speaker 1 Well, it's just nice knowing every day you can just like, if you had, if you're sitting on the train and you had time to kill, it's like, let me just look up this ship and what's going on with it.

Speaker 1 Ship's still there. Ship's still there.
I was hoping that some other boats would tie up next to it like you do in a lake in the summertime, start blasting some LMFAO, tossing jello shots overboard.

Speaker 1 Oh, man. Good for that ship.
How awesome would it be, though, if the next person, or like if another boat got stuck there soon? Because if it happened once, it's going to happen again, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, no, it has happened before.
