On today's part of my take,

sports have been canceled.

It is one of the weirdest part of my takes.

We will do.

We will move on.

We have big plans to make sure that we make this show a place that people can escape to.

We have John Rostein on the show.

He talked about, well, we tried to get him to talk about what the tournament would have been like.

Didn't work.

It didn't go through his brain.

Too painful for him, but it was also a great interview.

And big news out of the interview, we are possibly going to be planning John Rostein's bachelor party.

So that was a good thing that came out of a crazy, crazy 48 hours that no one really seems to understand.

We have all that coming up and we have Firefest.

Before we do that, part of my take is brought to you.

I used to think that sandwiches were just, you know, basic until I realized how easy it is to level them way up.

It's all about starting with the best ingredients.

Lately I've been obsessed with this sandwich.

Boar's head ever roast chicken, a little smoked gouda, arugula, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze on toasted ciabata.

Just a few simple swaps and suddenly it feels like something that I'd order at a fancy cafe.

And that's why I always go for boarshead.

The quality, the craftsmanship, the fresh premium flavors that turn an everyday sandwich into something next level.

So if you're tired of the same old lunch, try upgrading with Boarshead.

Head to the deli counter, grab your favorites, and see just how easy it is to make every bite amazing.

Discover the craftsmanship behind every bite at your local Boarshead deli counter.

Hey, let's go!

No business, I know washing,

And then a campaign all on the stars.

Oh no, we're gonna rock it down to Elite Shake Avenue.

And then we'll take it higher.

Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Elite Shake Avenue.

Welcome to Part of My Take.

Lucy's the obvious choice for a true nicotine pouch connoisseurs.

That's why they're official nicotine pouch partner at Barstool Sports.

They go up to 12 milligrams in strength and have unique shape that feels great.

We all use the breakers.

They're the only pouches with a hydration capsule inside.

They're a totally new kind of pouch, only available from Lucy.

You pop it in your mouth, break it with your teeth, and it's instantly hydrated, releasing that nicotine faster, and it's a burst of flavor.

No other pouch has that.

I promise you that.

Gas station pouches get the job done, but once you've tried Lucy, you won't want anything else in your pocket.

Today is Friday, March 13th, and PFT.

I do not want to be an alarmist, but we are all going to die, and the world is coming to an end.

Today was the day the Jock Jams died.

It was a harrowing 24 hours.

Everything got canceled.

The good news is.

Everything.

The good news is there are no more sports left to cancel.

You can't hurt me anymore.

Yeah, it was.

I'm going to actually take that back because I'm getting really into Sri Lankan cricket.

So that's the one thing I think we can still bet on right now.

Darts.

But basically, everything has been taken from us in the sports world.

But this, in a weird way,

is where I think that sometimes we have the most fun doing this show.

Yes.

And we have had our share of fun at the expense of the coronavirus.

If I may just get serious PFT for a second, right from the top, I still don't respect the virus.

It's like a Raven and Steelers thing.

Like, no love lost.

I hate it so much, I want to beat the fuck out of it.

That doesn't sound serious.

And I'm going.

No,

I'm encouraging everybody to do everything that they can.

Yes.

Even if you're a healthy, young, spry, 20-year-old, just don't stay away from public places because you're going to run into people that have compromised immune systems that you don't know.

You might run into me.

Could be sick.

You don't know if you're walking past somebody on the sidewalk, if they have type 1 diabetes or lupus or if they're going through like chemotherapy.

Those are the people.

We're going to save lives together as a podcast.

The best way to do that.

is just listen to a shitload of part of my take.

Yes, listen to a shitload of part of my take.

All right, so we're going to get to our plans, and we have a lot of plans for what probably is going to be a long time without sports, and it's going to be very weird, and the whole last 48 hours have been very, very surreal.

Pretty much, since the moment that I said I would inject myself with coronavirus if they canceled the NCAA tournament, from that statement, every single second after that, it got exponentially worse.

Shades of Laker Dan.

And if you know Laker Dan, you know Laker Dan.

Let's not get into that.

But let's let's kind of reset.

We'll start from when it all went, started going downhill here.

The

NBA on Wednesday night, Rudy Gobert, who is public enemy number one in the world, who, by the way, I'm going to defend him a little bit here.

It was just a prank.

When I watched that video, I was like, that's exactly something I would do.

Now, that's exactly something I would have done three days ago.

Now that I've understood the severity and what's going on, I would not do that anymore.

But Rudy Gobert, like, I'm not going to, you know, just pile on this guy for doing something he thought was completely innocent.

Clearly, it was not.

So that happened.

You're short-sighted.

Short-sighted.

Short-sighted, stupid.

But also, like, knowing us, we would do the same thing.

Probably not malicious.

You made the cough joke in an elevator.

I did.

Right.

It's not that crazy for us to say we would do something like that.

So not anymore, but we would.

And regardless of if he did the microphone thing or not, if he had coronavirus, they're canceling the whole league.

Like, even if it came out he had coronavirus and he didn't fuck around with all the journalists and did that, which is funny.

And then Woge also said, though, that he wasn't.

But people are like blaming him for the money.

No, no, no, no, for tonight.

That's because the Woj report, where he said he had been careless over the course of the last, like, three or four days.

But everyone's not careless.

But he's touching people's faces.

It seemed like he was going out of his way to touch people's faces and be like, oh, you're scared of me because I got the virus.

So, yeah, it was unfortunate.

I'm just shocked that the first NBA player to have this disease wasn't J.R.

Smith.

This feels like something that J.R.

would have come down with for him.

Yeah, he's not in the NBA.

Well,

he's in league circles.

He's somewhere.

Somewhere out there.

So that happens, and and the jazz game was very weird because they didn't know what to do.

They rushed on the court to basically stop the game before it starts.

The NBA quickly says we're suspending all games for the foreseeable future.

And then from that point on, it felt like every single sport, I mean, the NCAA had already said they were going to play with no crowds.

It was weird watching games go on, like conference tournament games go on.

Fred Hoiberg is basically dying on the sideline.

He ended up having influenza.

And this all happens.

I just said influenza.

Yeah.

That's the Instagram.

He was an influenza.

Influenza.

It's when you drink too much fit tea and you just shit out your ass.

Yeah.

So that happens.

NBA cancels.

We wake up the next day thinking, okay,

things are bad.

Things are crazy right now.

But they're going to play conference tournament games with no fans.

That turns out to be not the case because everyone basically like a domino falls and everyone cancels except the big east.

Well, they started doing it in the big east with...

Were there like limited fans?

It was like family?

Yeah.

Or is that what it was?

Yes.

They played the first

half.

They played the first half.

They canceled the games.

The sad mascot from St.

John's sitting

in the upper deck of the Madison Square Garden was that was quite a sight.

I don't know why the Big East decided that they would just forge ahead.

It was crazy.

It's interesting to see an entire conference in fuck it mode.

Yeah.

Where they're just like, you know what?

Let's just do it because canceling this seems like a big thing.

James Dolan was probably on the phone with the Big East, like, please,

I need some ticket sales.

I need some concession sales.

That was the best report.

The report that all the owners got on a conference call,

and the Knicks were the only team that were like, we have to wait until there's a

government mandate.

Otherwise, we've got to play.

So all these things get canceled.

And also last night, after Gobert was diagnosed and they clear the court, the Utah Jazz had to stay in the locker room for hours because they all had to get tested.

Somehow they found how many?

Like 40

immediate tests

for the COVID virus, and they brought him into the locker room, tested everybody.

Donvin Mitchell has the coronavirus.

I was actually surprised.

I thought it was going to be more players who were going to have it.

By the way, they made it sound like Rudy Gobert was basically just tongue-kissing everyone.

Right.

It's a prank.

And they were saying, like, on Sports Center, they were talking about how all the players would have to sit in a semicircle while they just jammed Q-tips down their throats to get a gag reflux out of them.

And then finally get a test result back before anyone could ever leave the arena.

I guess the Thunder got tested, too, and everyone on the Thunder was okay.

Right.

But yeah,

it was such a bizarre night last night.

That's what it felt like I was halfway between an acid trip and just being dead.

You just could,

I don't think anyone fully realized what was going on as it was going on.

Like, we all were just watching and be like, wait, they canceled, they suspended the NBA season?

Okay, well, that's fine, but like...

They're still going to play college basketball.

Then they canceled college basketball.

They took away the fans.

And the Big East, they hand the one of the, talk about visuals, the St.

John's mascot.

How about FSU getting the ACC Championship trophy?

They handed them the trophy, which was ridiculous.

What are you going to say?

In terms of the NBA, the Vince Carter

getting in for the last time, like the farewell tour, that was crazy.

Right.

So then we're sitting there and NHL is canceling stuff and

MLS canceled.

I mean, you know, when MLS, still WrestleMania and XFL are going to happen for the first, you know, that was still on the table.

We all think that maybe they will suspend the tournament, push it later, four o'clock hits, cancel the entire NCAA tournament, cancel all spring sports, college baseball done, MLB done.

We're living in

no NHL.

It's crazy.

We have no sports.

This is Marlins Man's nightmare.

We have no March Madness.

We are a country of Revelles.

There are no brackets.

We are bracketless.

Think about that.

Well, brackets can't be dumpster fires in that case.

True.

But yeah, it's been a fucking weird day.

Just like it was one thing after the other.

You didn't know what was going to come next, but you knew it was going to be bad news.

There's been no good news that's come out at all in the last 40 hours.

There probably won't be any more good news for the next day or two.

I don't know what the hell is going on if they're going to shut down New York.

Oh, wait, wait, no, there's one good news.

Duke, the biggest fucking Prima Donna's drama queens of all time, canceled their own season before the NCAA could, trying to upstage everyone and be like, look at me, we're look at us, we're Duke.

Then the tournament gets canceled, and then everyone gets to make the joke that Duke got eliminated first.

Duke is out first.

That was the only good thing that happened.

And we're going to get into a John

to try to figure out who ended up winning this NCAA tournament.

Oh, should we talk about that real quick?

Yeah, Joe Lennardy's bracket.

Yeah, so Joe Lennardy did put out a bracket, thank God, so we can get mad about seedings.

That's half the fun of March Madness, anyways, is to just debate that on Selection Sunday.

So, his one seeds that he has, he has Baylor, he has Kansas, he has

Dayton, and he has Gonzaga.

More than that, excuse me, Gonzana.

More than that.

I appreciate the fact that he put the times for all these games.

And the spread.

Like, I'm looking at it right now.

Illinois was going to play USC at 9.50 p.m.

on Thursday night.

That game was going to be bananas.

You know what the nice touch at the end of all this is?

He's got the last four, the play-in games, and then he has their time to play TBD.

So we're never ever going to know when the winner of NC State UCLA is going to play against Penn State.

Wisconsin got a four-seed, got to play North Texas.

Easy win.

Vermont, let's see where Vermont was.

So Wisconsin is going to play North Texas.

I think he screwed up the seeding here.

I think he had Auburn as a five-seed in that same bracket, which would have been great for me because I've been calling Auburn's frauds all year.

So it would have had a personal revenge game.

We had Vermont going up against Maryland

in Greensboro.

Scott Vampell would have melted down if Vermont beat him.

SVP versus Jake March.

Oh, that's brutal.

Let's see.

Virginia versus Cincinnati.

That would have been like 42-41.

Great game.

Over-underset at 105.

Michigan-Yale.

Michigan-Yale.

Blue Bloods.

Duke Belmont.

Belmont would have done it.

Belmont would have done it.

That's probably why Duke did that.

That's probably why they eliminated themselves.

God damn it.

This is brutal to watch.

St.

Mary's Rutgers at 9.50 on Friday night.

That's the game that you're like, this game stinks.

What's the best part?

That would be great.

I think where it's the worst, I think that's like the best part for me, at least, the Thursday and Friday, is when it's like, you feel like you've watched college basketball and it's like, there's still four games that are tipping off after 9 o'clock, and they're all as important as the game.

When you take that break at like 5.45 and there's only one game being played and you're like, wait, we're about to do it all over again.

Yep.

It's just

honestly incomprehensible that this is just not happening this year because it becomes

and I know that there's a lot of things that are bigger than sports and the health of human beings is a lot bigger than sports.

And I think they made the right call knowing everything we know, but I can still in the same vein say that sports run my life and without sports, I do not know what to do.

That's really what it comes down to.

Like, I know it sounds simple-minded.

People will be like, oh, my God, you know, get a life, dude.

Sports aren't that important.

I'm sorry.

I'll admit, sports are that important to me.

It is basically our entire life.

Because it's our job, but it's also every single hobby that we have.

I keep looking at my phone.

You see me look at my phone a hundred times today, just looking to the, I keep opening up ESPN to see, oh, how are my bets doing?

Just not, they're not happening.

You are going to be rich.

Yeah.

Well,

maybe I would have been richer.

I'll get to my Fire Fest.

Your boy was hot.

Real hot.

It's almost a good thing for you, though.

though no i think it's like the keys i think they said guess what it's my fire fest you're done but this is it's uh it's just crazy i so petty i asked you before the show started and we said we'd save it for the show but if you had to guess when the next sport will be played on american soil what would the date be american soil yes okay so that could be it could be on an island somewhere why do we not if we learn

if we learn anything from coronavirus and i hope everything like i hope it doesn't get worse I hope we can figure out a cure and a vaccine and all these things.

But really, what has to happen, like when all the dust is settled in a year or so, whenever it may happen, we need to have someone, Bloomberg, looking at you, Minnie Mike, build an island, a biodome.

We'll talk about it with John Rossi, that basically is, if anything happens again, sports plate here.

Right.

I mean, I was looking forward to Sean Miller in the tournament just basically playing inside one of those giant plastic bubbles that you see people play bubbles on.

No, we we would have put Sean Miller in like the atmosphere from American Gladiators and just had him sweating around on the sideline like that.

But I think the answer to your question is the XFL.

I think the XFL.

But what's the date?

So

the date would be

mid-May, early May?

No, I think there'll be a difference.

I think

I feel like baseball or soccer, MLS.

Mid to late April and XFL, because I think that Vince McMahon did not want to cancel either the XFL or WrestleMania.

WrestleMania.

Because you know how Vince feels about people sneezing in general.

Right.

He doesn't respond.

He doesn't think people can get sick.

He doesn't believe in illness.

He doesn't believe in illness.

So he was definitely like, let's keep this pump going for as long as we can.

I think that he's going to want to play the semifinals and the championship game in the XFL.

Okay.

So that would be, what, mid-May?

But baseball will be back before that.

I'm still absolutely claiming the XFL East for the DC Defenders.

Okay.

First place.

Lost of the Vipers.

First place in the XFL East.

In a dynasty?

Lost of the Vipers.

See, I just don't understand why they couldn't.

I really

understand why all these things happened in the last 48 hours because we do not know how to stop the virus, and it seems like it's exponentially growing.

I know how.

How?

Flatten the curve.

I don't know what it means, but I've just seen people say you need to flatten the curve.

First of all, it has something to do with how many people are infected immediately as opposed to over a longer distance of time.

Flatten the curve.

There are going to be a ton of people that get infected.

We just don't want them all at the same time.

Flatten the curve.

So just all we have to say is just let's work on flattening the curve.

That is the part that we should just get a little serious for a minute.

Like, I know that everyone says that there's, or not everyone.

There are people out there who are still saying it's just the same as the flu.

You know, everyone gets sick, we'll be fine.

That's not fine because if everyone gets sick and the hospitals are overcapacity and we don't have the infrastructure to get everyone well at the same time, a lot worse things are going to happen.

I think we've got something like 130,000 ventilators in America, so that's not nearly enough.

It's not just old.

His boy's been doing some.

So watch out.

I have been too.

I've been listening to a couple podcasts.

So I'm educating myself and I'm learning that.

We respect.

In a way, we respect.

I don't want to use the R word because I respect it.

I'll put it this way.

At the end of World War II, did we do a jersey swap with Hitler's body?

No, we don't respect our enemies.

They want to kill us, okay?

You didn't have, what's his name?

I respect him.

You didn't have MacArthur whispering into Hirohito's ear on the battleship, hey, hey, come play with us next year, like he was Dwayne Wade talking to LeBron James, okay?

I respect him.

We don't respect our enemies.

We want to kill them.

Okay.

I want to eliminate this virus.

All right.

So with all that said, though, it's obviously bad.

I do think there was a little bit of everyone rushing to cancel everything as quickly as possible when it probably would have been okay to just say, hey, we're suspending the NCAA tournament.

Like, give us a week.

We'll figure it all out later.

Like, no, I mean, you could see, you could cancel it in a week.

I don't know.

I just felt like everyone, it almost was a competition who can cancel fastest.

I would have rather.

Then MLS joined in, and everyone was like, who cares?

I would.

I thought it was already canceled.

I would have almost rather they did just, we're going to delay it two weeks.

And then two weeks later, they're like, we're going to delay another two weeks until I get to football season.

Let us just keep pushing it throughout the entire summer and give me the hope.

Give me like, even maybe tweak the brackets once every month.

Right.

It just let us know, like, hey, we're going to think about it.

Let's wait and see how things go in the next 48 hours, week or so, and then we'll reassess.

It just felt very rash to be like, everything's canceled forever.

I'm of the mindset that there are a lot of smarter people out there than I am, believe it or not.

No,

I think they got addicted to the sea.

They got addicted to canceled culture?

Is it real?

Yes, I think they got addicted to the sea.

I think that there are just a bunch of people that know way more about this than I do.

So I'm at the point where I'm I'm standing back and I'm saying, I'm going to let you do your job.

You let me do my job podcasting.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, if the CDC president comes in this office and starts telling me to use the C word less, then I'm going to have an issue with him.

But I'm not going to go tell him how to do his job.

Yes.

Okay, that's fair.

Jay Billis kind of pissed me off, though, because he was basically the first one demanding that they cancel it.

And then when they canceled it, he's like, they could have probably just waited and seen.

Like, what the fuck, dude?

There was too many people.

And that was all across media.

Everyone's Everyone's just like, they got to cancel.

They got to cancel.

They got to cancel.

Everything.

Big time cool throne.

Although the NFL hasn't really decided exactly what they're going to be doing, I think they're probably going to have the draft in front of no people.

It's just going to be Goodell, which is a major cool throne for him because he's not going to get booed

for the first time.

And like,

we'll pipe in the booze for Roger Goodell in Vegas.

So that's going to be kind of eerie doing a draft in Las Vegas with no people around.

Yeah.

Very weird.

Everything's going to be weird for

like at least a few months here.

Friday the 13th.

Friday the 13th.

We're in.

I'm reading right now, Hank, Duke pressured ACC into canceling tournament by shutting down all blue double sports.

That's on you, bro.

Duke ruined everything.

Comment?

Power move.

They saved the ACC.

Or you could also say that.

Your coach case is so elderly that

he's so elderly.

He is.

No, he's so elderly.

And he's always sick after losses.

And so

you might have to get a cat because I think we agreed that if Duke was eliminated before the Sweet Sweet 16, LeBron Lockwood would become a thing, right?

I don't think we didn't make it to that point where we made that agreement.

No, we didn't.

We did all you sit here and pressure anyone into doing anything they might have said on the past podcast.

Yeah.

By the way, I don't know how.

If someone could explain to me how I could go about it, I will look into it.

Because I actually read, I did some reading last night.

You should just get a vial of corona inject that into you well i did corona beer i did do some reading last night and they and it basically actually would be better because the uh people they're paying to have corona injected it was only in england not in america but they inject a lesser strand right it's like the movie outbreak yeah so they don't even it doesn't even fuck you up get the virus before it's mutated right but you still get the immunity from it so if i

If someone can point me in the right direction, I will look into it.

I'm going to go ahead and say I don't want you to get injected with the coronavirus.

I'm going to give you, everyone gets one get out of a vet free card.

I feel like this is a safe one to do.

There might have been a discussion at the cat cave last night about the fact that I am a father and I need to stop putting my life at risk for stupid things that involve sports.

I do.

The only problem is I just don't...

I don't want the narrative to get going that I wouldn't have cut off the tip of my pinky because I would have.

You know what?

I'll add a second pinky team next year.

Is that fair?

No, I think you keep it at one because because you'd almost rather have symmetrical hands that each are missing a pinky.

No, no, no.

No, no.

It'll be one pinky, but two teams.

So

double the chances.

I think that's fair.

All right, I'll add a pinky team officially.

I will add a pinky team next year for that.

I think that's very fair.

And I also, by the way, I'm getting coronavirus for the karma.

Everyone agrees, right?

I think we all are.

Adam Morrison is going to be sitting pretty in his apocalypse bunker.

The rest of us are up to schmucks.

All right, so let's actually transition.

It's a perfect transition.

One year anniversary.

One year.

Yeah, one year anniversary.

Barcelongold.com/slash PMT watches.

It's a perfect transition, PFT, because we should get Adam Morrison on the show in the next few weeks to check in with him.

But here is the good news.

He's just going to laugh at us the entire time.

He's going to be like, you guys are a bunch of suckers.

You thought I was insane four years ago.

Nope.

Well, who's laughing now?

Look at me now.

Here is the good news.

So there's a lot of bad news, but here's the good news.

The show must go on.

Pardon my take, will not stop.

We will be putting in all the protocols so that we might have to a Skype show, but we will do a show.

And on top of that, this is actually a beautiful setting for us because I've watched around Twitter some, I'm not going to name names, some radio hosts out there trying to crowdsource topics.

We have brains that are built.

for a sports lockdown.

It's almost better that there's no sports right now in a weird way.

Don't get me wrong, I would much rather have sports, but when we first started, Pardon My Take, it was like the beginning of March one year ago.

Right.

When there was absolutely, this is when we thrive.

Right.

And we're going to jump.

We're already ahead of the competition, but we are going to re-jump ahead of the competition because I think we have things planned that no one else is going to do.

So don't worry.

We're going to give you probably extra long shows.

We will always have the shows.

We're going to go to the show.

Maybe some bonus shows.

Some bonus shows, some bonus live streams.

We're going to watch an old football game.

Where should we start with what we're going to do?

Let's start with the movie that we're going to watch.

Oh, which one?

The garbage pick and field goal kicker.

Yes.

We had that sent to us today, actually, by the Dallas Renegades.

Shut up.

Because they thought that this was

crazy, big cat.

PFT got a Dallas Renegade shirt, and I was like, ooh, what size is that?

Assuming that he would want nothing to do with it.

And he kind of got mad and never threw the shirt out.

Rivalry Week?

No, I'm pretty sure the Dallas Renegade shirt is still at your desk.

No, it was just funny because I was literally taking the shirt out of the FedEx box.

Well, no, once I saw it was Dallas Renegade shirt.

As I'm removing it, it's still halfway in.

And he goes, what size is that?

Well, I saw it.

So that's why I was

laughing at it.

I saw it was Dallas Renegade.

So I was like, of course, PFT wouldn't want that.

Hank was sizing up.

You know what, Hank?

There's going to be a toilet paper shortage, and there's nothing better than a Dallas Renegade shirt for me to use.

Oh,

they sent us a copy of the movie.

We're getting it digitized, so we're going to be able to upload it to a burner YouTube page

to watch, and then we will do a watch-along.

So it's going to be great.

So we're going to watch that movie.

We are also,

we were going to do this in the summer, but because the summer is basically now, and that actually is a sneaky, like, this could be unbelievable if NBA playoffs come back in like June and July, and then we just go right into NFL.

It's going to be incredible.

This is going to be like a spring break away from sports.

And then we just go

into summer because the dog days of summer, Mount Rushmore season.

Right.

You want to get into that?

Yeah, well, I was going to say what we are going to do this summer before we do the Bizarro World Mount Rushmore.

We're going to do, we're going to get mad at our NFL NFL 100.

Yes.

So we're going to get mad at NFL 100.

We said we were going to do it.

We didn't have time for it in December.

We now have more than enough time for it.

So we're going to pick a position group to get mad at every single

to get mad at the rankings.

Should we do it?

I say we do, since we don't know how long this is going to last, we should ration this out.

Yeah.

I think we should do it every Wednesday.

We get mad at one of the positions.

Okay, so that would be, we'd have tight ends.

And we got to do the games and we got to do the plays.

Would they did top 100 plays.

Oh.

And top 100 games.

Oh.

So then we might do that just every day, different positions every day.

The top 100 games is one of the most.

So we'll figure out a detailed plan that corresponds with guests that can also get mad with us.

We won't start.

We'll start on Wednesday, so we'll let you know on Monday what to do your research.

You have to get pre-mad about stuff.

There's going to be a lot of homework.

Are you guys writing this down?

You know what?

Let's pause for a second.

Let them write it down.

Okay, so look at.

Are we going to announce literally on Wednesday?

No, let.

No, no, no.

No, this is the pause.

You don't have to pause.

Just we're going to pause

so they can write this down right now.

Right.

So you are, you got your pen.

Make sure you swab it off.

Alcohol swab.

Okay.

Lick it.

Lick it.

Make sure that it's clean.

Okay.

Now lick your thumb.

No, we're doing Rudy Gobert joke.

Yep.

Don't do any of that.

Rewind.

Cancel that.

Rewind 15 seconds and don't do any of the things that we just said.

Okay, now you got your pen, your pad.

Go.

What are you going to say?

For what we're doing on Wednesday.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let's do tight ends on Wednesday.

Tight ends.

Boom.

Okay, tight ends are Wednesday.

Tight ends on Wednesday.

Tight ends Wednesday.

Maybe we'll have somebody on to discuss.

Get mad about it.

We have a bunch of tight ends that we know.

Big portals.

Yep.

There you go.

All right.

So, yeah, tight ends Wednesday.

Get ready for that.

Some people have suggested Mount Rushmore season begin early.

And I see why you would say that because Mount Rushmore season was invented to bridge the gap between the end of NBA season, NHL season, and the start of football season in the dog days of summer.

This is going to be a little bit different.

I think we're going to do our bottom four Mount Rushmore.

So Mount Flushmore.

Yes.

So if it's, what are some of the best topics that we had in the past couple years?

Cereals.

Cereals.

So worst four cereals.

Hypothetical.

Animals in a fight.

I would say great PFF.

A B, a single BFD.

No, a single B.

No,

you're misunderstanding what the worst.

It's the worst four animals to have on your side.

PFD, you can just pick up from your last pick and just start over.

That's right.

All right, yeah.

So we're going to do Mount Flushmore season starting monday we also are going to throw out i think everyone's going to be spending a lot of time on netflix trying to watch old shows old movies so we're going to throw out random shows that we will do reviews of and because this is the first weekend without sports and no one knows what to do we're going to start with you have homework this weekend love is blind review of love is blind monday i'm very excited for this monday it is such a fucked up show i haven't even started it but i will watch it all this weekend love is blind coming Monday.

It is the trashiest show that you'll ever watch.

Hank, it's too trashy even for Hank.

It's tough.

We also were like shooting the shit and trying to figure out what to do.

And we did say at one point, what about if we read a book?

And it was ghost town.

I mean, it's crickets.

My thought is that the United States is going to get exponentially smarter during this crisis because we're all going to be shut in in our homes and people are going to start to read.

It's going to be weird.

Now, we're not saying that we're going to do that.

Big Cat said, I might read a book.

And I was like, dude, you're not going to do that.

You're going to say that, and then

tomorrow.

I've collected an incredible, the only books I own are books from guests of the show.

Oh,

I got PowerShit, Curveball, PowerShift.

Do you have Buseisms?

I don't have Buseisms.

Oh, I do.

I have Julian Edelman's book.

Kane's book.

The basketball one.

Yeah, that one.

Kirk Goldsbury.

Yep.

That's a good one.

That's mostly like pictures, too.

You probably like that one.

Yeah, so we're not going to read.

The coronavirus can take our bodies, but it's not going to take our TVs.

It's absolutely not.

Or our internet pornography.

Do we need to ration internet porn?

We might be reaching a stage in America where.

Well, they're going to stop production on those the same way they're going to be stopped production on movies.

That's right.

So if you're at home, limit yourself because you don't want to get to the end of the internet.

Porn can survive anything.

Like cocker roaches.

No, I know it'll still be out there, but my fear is that you'll burn through all the porn on the internet within the first couple days.

True.

All right, so in summation, Monday, Love is Blind.

Wednesday, we're going to start our Getting Mad at the NFL 100 list, and we also are going to start Mount Flushmore starting on Monday.

We have good guests already in the hole.

Jay Glazer Monday was electric.

And we're going to also reach out to some of the recurring guests and some different people.

Yep.

We are going to choose this, take this opportunity and be like, let's fucking knock it out of the park.

Play Portals, Mr.

Portnoy.

Mr.

Portnoy.

Yeah, we don't have any sports.

Although Whitney, I don't...

We should actually just have Whitney on and just ask him hockey questions.

And he probably had a good tweet last night.

He said it actually is a sick league.

That's pretty good.

That's pretty funny.

Got to give it to Ryan Whitney.

Who wrote that for him?

Fuck.

Because I noticed that he

made a pretty good joke in that New Amsterdam commercial about Biz.

It said more like Paul missed the net.

And it's like, okay, Ryan Whitney's got a ghostwriter, and it's my life's mission to figure out who it is.

Whitney was going to come to the office and watch some games and gamble with us.

I take it back.

I I take it back.

I love gambling with him.

NHL is going to be the first one back.

Yeah.

Hockey talk.

I'm surprised that hockey even missed a shift.

The money coming in is way more important to them, like ticket sales and stuff.

They don't have as big of TV deals.

So that's why it took them so long to cancel it.

I agree.

They'll be back first.

Yeah, they will be back first.

You're right.

We're going to do, we're actually going to watch an old football game.

Yeah, so that'll be a live stream.

We're going to do a live stream of that.

We're not going to know the score of it, and we're going to bet on it.

How great would it be?

We're going to watch Playmakers.

Do you know?

It would be so great if they just like tomorrow we woke up and the ensemble tournament was like we've reassessed and everything's safe we're playing and then we just threw all this shit we just said in the trash like ah just kidding not

we're gonna watch sports uh we're gonna join a cult we're gonna do airport reviews actually an airport review right now would be great i just want yeah it would i just want to sit down and watch a ball going back and forth on my screen.

Yeah.

I don't care what kind.

I want to see grass.

I would watch sock.

I would watch MLS so hard.

It's really just about

looking at a TV and seeing that beautiful shade of green.

Just seeing blades of grass, maybe with the Champions League music in the background.

The annual coach's picture got canceled.

I know.

I know.

That's tough.

Coachella got cancelled.

It wasn't just the picture.

It was the entire spring meetings, I think, got canceled.

Yeah, but it's

just really just the picture.

Like, they're not.

It's not meeting.

There's also Belichick having to deal with reporters at breakfast.

That's pretty funny.

Darts is still going.

Darts is still going.

We're living in a weird-ass time.

I would kill to just have a live stream of anyone playing sports against each other that I could watch, that I could look at.

Even if it's just people in the office.

I agree with you.

I agree with you.

Like I said, just a ball moving back and forth.

Maybe we'll do a live stream of us competing against each other that you can watch if you're home from work, if you're home from school.

I don't know.

I'm just talking to my ass.

Yeah.

By the way, Tom Hanks, should we talk about that real quick?

First of all, signing his name Hanks with an X.

Power move.

Yeah, that's fine.

You thinking about doing that?

No, I never had that in me.

Okay.

And Chet Hayes, his son, maybe

the most of all time.

No, I was going to say the most like, holy shit, we're living in the zombie apocalypse is his simulation when he did a press conference shirtless with his horrible tattoos and was like, what's up, guys?

Yeah, the news is true.

My parents got coronavirus.

And I just like, what?

Shit is bunk.

Shit is bunk.

Listen,

if Tom Hanks has coronavirus, now that's a major wake-up call.

That was a slap in the face to America.

Yeah.

It's like, okay, you're threatening our most valuable resource, and that's Mr.

Tom Hanks.

This guy was in Forest Gump.

This guy saved Private Ryan.

He's an American hero.

So

I hope he's okay.

But if there's one person that kind of shocked America into being like, this is something real that we should pay attention to,

it's probably just, it's Tom Hanks.

He's the most beloved person, most beloved celebrity.

He played Mr.

Rogers.

Yes.

He's as close as we get to Mr.

Rogers in America.

Fuck, man.

It's all crazy.

And I feel really bad for, I mean, we could do it forever, but like the trickle-down, like if you're sitting there and being like, hey, I'm a young person.

I don't have to worry about this.

There's so many trickle-down things that are going to happen.

People in the service industry, people who worked at these games, people, you know, we were talking about it before, but if you're a parent that has to work and has like kids that are now off school, what do you do?

There's so many, you know, people who are elderly people who live with their families.

It's fucking crazy.

Yeah.

Couple world is completely.

There's people that are going to be quarantined and placed together and get into huge fights and can't leave.

Well, if you're that person, then why don't you listen to part of my take and we will make the fights for you when we do our NFL 100 list and get really fucking pissed at you.

Yeah, you guys can fight over something productive like NFL rank, like power rankings of slot wide receivers.

Yes.

Okay, let's get, let's do our interview with John Rossine.

We'll finish at the end of the show with our Fire Fest of the week, which I think it's all, this whole week is a Fire Fest, but let's do John Rossine.

Oh, is it that bad?

It's that bad.

All right, before we get to John Rossine,

this episode is brought to you by Hey Dude.

Hey, dude, have you tried Hey Dude?

If you haven't experienced them yet, Hey Dude shoes are insanely comfortable, lightweight, and easy to slip on.

With so many options to choose from, you'll find the perfect shoe for every occasion.

No more sacrificing comfort for style.

Hey Dude shoes are unlike anything.

Head to heydude.com/slash barstool to shop our favorites.

Hey, here he is, John Rosteen.

Okay, we now welcome on our good, good friend, recurring guest, John Rosteen.

This is no longer March.

This is much serious and more serious than March.

I don't know where to start.

This has been a bad day for a lot of reasons, but obviously the tournament has been canceled.

Why don't you walk us through the last 24 hours and how quickly this has all happened?

Well, first of all, just how are you doing mentally?

You doing all right?

I'm okay, guys.

You know, I'm okay, guys.

I think the big thing is this, and this is, I think, what's kind of put me at peace a little bit.

We understand why the decision is being made.

People are dying out there.

You know, people are losing their lives.

People are losing loved ones and so on and so forth.

But I think, and this is kind of what put me at peace, we can understand that and still at the same time be overwhelmingly disappointed that the greatest month of the year didn't come close to hitting its apex.

So I think that's the best way to sum up the way that I feel, but I'm okay.

I understand the decision.

I think the thing that truly changed for me was when we got through the first couple of weeks, first couple of nights of championship week, and then we saw on Wednesday a major shift in the vibe of everything and we saw the announcement that came down from the NCAA

that there was going to be a situation where we wouldn't have fans at the NCAA tournament.

That was the first time you started thinking about the tournament being canceled.

And then once the NBA suspended its season, I felt like it was inevitable.

I woke up.

After going to bed in a pretty depressed state, I woke up with some hope because I started checking in with all the different conferences as soon as I woke up.

And everybody said, we're on a scheduled, we're going to play without fans.

So late morning, I said, you know what?

There will be an NCAA tournament.

I'm hopeful right now that this can continue.

We'll go through conference tournament week with no fans, just, you know, 100 to 150 for family members in the crowd.

And then once we saw the avalanche about noon with everybody canceling, you start to start thinking again about, you know, a cancellation.

And then I held out some hope that maybe the tournament would be delayed.

I don't know how long.

And then, obviously, the news came down about 4:30 that it was canceled.

Was that ever on the table?

The delayed of the delay made it a little bit more detailed.

It doesn't sound like it.

It sounded like it was going to be pretty cut and dry either way.

And obviously, in the best interest of everybody involved, it was canceled.

Now, was there any, and I totally understand, you know, having to cancel the tournament with the coronavirus, and people don't really understand where it's going, and it feels like we don't have a grasp on any of this.

Was there any feeling, though, with the people in the room that making a decision definitive like this in these 24 hours might have been a little rash just because, like, hey, why don't we wait?

Let's see how this progresses and then figure it out?

Or was it they had to make a decision right now?

The feeling that I got was once we saw all the major conferences and all the mid-major conferences that had yet to decide a bid cancel their conference tournament, the NCAA had to come out and say something.

I don't know if it was going to happen by end of business on Thursday, but I thought by Friday we would have a firm decision whether or not the NCAA tournament was going to be played.

And I think once we saw that avalanche of news with all these conference tournaments being canceled, we needed a decision either way if the tournament was going to go on.

So why not the possibility to delay for two weeks or to say, hey, we'll play the tournament

late April or early May?

Is that just logistically impossible given schools and students?

You know, PFT, one thing we got to remember: the NCAA tournament is planned out years in advance.

And one thing that started to happen last night was the NCAA, from talking to numerous people close to the situation, was looking at switching venues for both the Elite Eight and the Final Four because they weren't going to have crowds.

So that's what they were working on yesterday.

So when you think about all the logistical things that had to take place, another thing that had to take place was you guys know how the rules work.

The automatic qualifier from each conference is the winner of the conference tournament.

The NCAA would have had to make an addendum to that rule if conference tournaments weren't played.

They would have had to alter pre-existing rules.

So there were so many different variables, but the most important thing was the health of everybody involved.

They're not spreading this virus right now, which is really taking over our country.

Is there any backsees?

Can we do any backsees on this?

Could they wake up in two weeks and be like, hey,

thought about it?

I don't think so.

Let's just do the terminal.

I'm already in my head.

I'm already in my head preparing for the 2020-21 season.

I love that.

Okay.

It's only been like two hours, and you're already thinking ahead.

All right, so what are they going to do with eligibility?

Again, a wise man once told me a long time ago never to speculate on speculation.

So I'm not going to speculate on speculation.

I could see, obviously, certain circumstances where there are exceptions made and so on and so forth.

But in my head right now, to the 19-20 season, happy trails to you until we meet again.

And now we're going to be.

How have you turned the pages quickly?

I'm sitting here being like, they're going to wake up in two days and be like, turn the machines back.

Because you can't control what happens to you in life.

You can control how you respond.

Wow.

And then you have to learn at some point to compartmentalize and say, you know what?

It makes zero zero sense whatsoever to be worried or be concerned with things that you can't control.

We can't control this, so we look forward to 2021.

That's what Pep Hamilton taught me.

There are two things you can control, your attitude and your effort that you put into whatever you're doing.

What's the opening game for 2021?

I haven't gotten there yet.

Oh, called you buff there.

So, actually, this brings up a very interesting situation.

I would assume the champions classic on Tuesday night.

This is a million percent going to be speculating on speculation, but we do have to crown an NCAA champion, don't we?

So, does that go to Kansas?

Does that go to Kansas?

Does that go to Wisconsin?

You can

see it.

I think it's an argument that Wisconsin

is a national champion.

I think we're going to see an asterisk there.

For 2020, there will be an asterisk.

Season canceled touchdowns.

Still UVA.

Is it still UVA?

Because to be the man, you've got to beat the man?

Well, yeah, let's just pretend that it's happening.

Let's talk some, like, let's talk who you like.

Go on.

Let's just suspend this.

Okay.

Hey, who are the ones?

Hey, yeah, so Dayton, one seed coming out of the East.

What do you think?

Look, Dayton to me was decided.

Dayton to me was going to be the one seed in the east.

Dayton to me, you know, was having the type of season that Wichita State had in 13, 14 before they got picked off by Kentucky in the round of 32.

But, you know, these right now are all stories that are never going to be finished because of the circumstances.

I get it.

I'm talking in real terms.

Who's the one like Blue Blood program that has underperformed this year, but still has the horses where you could see them making a deep run into the tournament?

That has underperformed this year.

I thought if Duke got the right matchup and

took themselves out before the tournament was

eliminated.

No, I'm aware of that, but what I'm saying is that he said, oh, my back.

I'm not playing.

What I'm saying, though, is I thought all season long that if Duke could have somehow found its way into the East region and played games across the street at the garden, which is Cameron Indoor Stadium North, that we would have seen Duke

in potentially the Final Four.

Because if a Dayton or San Diego State got the one seed in the East, then Duke, I thought, would have been waiting on the other side of the bracket to play a pseudo-home game to go to the Final Four.

How do you beat Kansas?

What's the recipe for beating Kansas in this tournament?

Well, Kansas has yet to lose the game, obviously, this year at full strength.

Right.

And, you know, one of the things that, you know, we have seen, obviously, this year from Kansas is that they're an elite defensive team.

I think you need, obviously, people that can drag Udoka as a bookie away from the rim because he was so obviously key to their defense in addition to their offense.

So you would need obviously a capable big man on offense to drag you doka as a bookie away from the rim, but also somebody strong enough on defense to deal with him in the paint.

But unfortunately, those are questions that want to answer.

No, I know, I know.

We're doing this for a few minutes.

Let us have a few minutes here.

A few minutes, a few minutes.

A few minutes.

I have future on Wisconsin 100 to 1.

Okay.

100 to 1.

I got it in early 2015.

How was your confidence level with Wisconsin?

I had bought all the way in.

That team was playing.

After the Indiana win?

Yeah, after the Indiana win, the way they finished the season, this was going to to be their year.

Do you think that you see them with the draw they got?

They're the four seed in the Midwest region.

Do you think that they will have a chance to maybe get to Atlanta in the final four?

It depends.

Are they seeded against Vermont in the first round?

Because Vermont would have been really scary with Anthony Lamb.

Ryan Davis was the guy at Vermont that, you know, my well-embedded moles in the America East were telling me was going to be the next star of that program.

Really good combo forward, can pick and pop, can make shots from deep.

So I was prepared to go deep on Ryan Davis.

So that's one of your potential 13-4 upsets.

Yeah, give me 12-5 because we all know every year.

I think the 12-5 Darling would have probably been ETSU.

I thought that would have been the team that people would have jumped on.

But unfortunately, guys.

No

player of the tournament, who you got?

Obi Toppin?

Ain't no stopping.

I was prepared to look at it.

You are prepared too.

We need to work on your tenses here, John.

I was going all in on Luca Garza as National Player of the the year, and I'll tell you why.

When you look at right now, the Atlantic 10,

there was one team that was a lock for the NCAA tournament: Dayton.

When you look at the Big Ten, you had a guy in Luca Garza that was putting up historic numbers that the Big Ten hadn't seen in 50 years.

And think about who he was doing it against.

Maryland has Jalen Smith.

Illinois has Kofi Coburn.

Obviously, Ohio State has Caleb Wesson.

There are capable big men in the Big Ten.

Michigan State, Micah Potter.

Michigan State is Xavier Tillman.

Michigan is John Teske.

You have all these players that are capable of their position.

You have Minnesota.

Minnesota, Daniel Loturo.

Unbelievable.

And you have

Matt Harms as well.

You have all these guys who are capable of their position.

And you have Luca Garza putting up insane numbers.

What about Cassius?

Are we going to get another year out of him at Michigan State?

I feel like we should give him another year of eligibility to come back, whether that be like.

You know, one thing, too, which I've learned, which is unfortunate, but what you're really going to see here, one of the things that has really come to the forefront the last couple years in college basketball is that the majority of these elite prospects just want to start their professional clocks early because they're so obviously consumed with the NBA.

So you, I think, will see, again, a situation where people will now bypass, obviously, their eligibility, even if they're not ready to be in the NBA, to try and start their professional career.

What's crazy is this felt like the year two for Gonzaga.

It felt like this was maybe their year they were going to get to the Final Four, and we're never going to see that happen.

I would say that Maryland also probably would have made the championship this year.

Scott Van Pelt would have gone to a national title game, and it's just not going to happen.

What team do you feel like was primed to make a run this tournament that maybe was flying under radar?

Who was going to be your Cinderella?

Like a Dark Horse Final Four team that's

somewhat off the radar.

You know, it's a great question because we saw that a lot this year, you know, in terms of teams that probably were off the radar but could have went to a Final Four.

You know, Kentucky, I felt all season long, was hiding in plain sight because they were hiding right in front of America because this was a Kentucky team that wasn't getting the type of attention that other great Kentucky teams were.

I thought if Kentucky got the right draw, they could have gotten to a Final Four.

I think you look elsewhere around the country.

I'm not saying that it would have happened.

It would have depended on the matchup.

But about three weeks ago, I felt that Wisconsin with Micah Potter

was totally surging.

Good thing, good news, though, only one senior.

Whole team's coming back.

When you see, obviously, in the next couple of days, my top 45 for next season, I think you're going to like what you see.

Oh, number one?

I wouldn't say number one, but I think you'll see a team that's going to.

And my thing, with this Wisconsin nucleus, there's no Decker, there's no Kaminsky, but there's everything else.

It's an old Wisconsin team, pre-Decker, pre-Kaminski with like Bo Ryan as the coach and Greg Gard as the top assistant, but now it's Greg Gard show, the Silent Assassin.

How many times were you primed to tweet January, February, Izzo?

Until they lost.

And do you think they would have gone to the Final Four?

I could have, you know, I thought,

like, we should just say 60 teams were going to go to the Final Four to just pander to all the teams.

Either that or we just create our official bracket, and then that's what happened.

That's what would have happened.

I had Wisconsin, Gonzaga, Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan State, Maryland, Kentucky, not Duke, Virginia,

Dayton, and

I'll throw Florida all in the final four.

Okay, good.

You can't lose

with that group.

Kansas didn't make it.

No,

I think the one thing that we're going to look back on is remember the unpredictability of this season.

But I think also in the last month, we saw Kansas separate

as the best team in the country.

They were cut above everybody else.

Unfortunately, the only thing that was for sure in the last 48 hours for college basketball is that nothing was for sure.

And that's why the result that we have right now.

It's actually kind of like the perfect ending to the most chaotic college basketball season of all time.

Sting said that too, I think.

I was so locked in.

I was literally doing better gambling this year than I've ever done.

The last three weeks.

It was so red hot.

It's amazing considering the way that the sport was that you were doing better in gambling.

I know.

Maybe I love chaos.

What is the...

It's not anarchy.

It's just college basketball.

There it is.

There it is.

I was looking for it.

All right.

So, what does John Rosteen do now?

We start preparing for the 2021 season.

You start, obviously, trying to take inventory.

I mean, I think you start right.

Right away, but you won't be able to sleep.

Yeah, I mean.

Try to go to sleep and just be restless.

And I mean, who knows?

March, it's March.

Who knows?

Maybe we nap in March.

I've never tried it.

Oh, my God.

That's a scary thought.

So I think you start preparing for 2021, and you'll see.

I think different scenarios where kids will obviously start the process of deciding whether or not they want to test things in the NBA.

But we know that that process has become so much more fluid right now because, as we know, kids can sign an agent, retain an agent, go through the process, and then obviously disengage with the agent and go back to school.

So, that's going to be a fluid process.

I do think that probably what we're seeing now from a health perspective might change, obviously, what jobs open and what don't.

There wasn't a lot of jobs open to begin with.

So, that's another thing to kind of keep in mind.

But you start preparing for 2021 and you start trying to be as sharp as you can, obviously, in preparation for that season, and you cover the day-to-day news along the way.

Was Arkansas going to make the tournament?

I did not have Arkansas in my bracket as of this morning, but I did play much better this year when they were fully healthy.

Musselman did a good job.

Isaiah Joe, different side.

I'm just bummed because I had all these things ready for the two of you for our selection Sunday bracket breakdown.

I mean, authentic goodies that you guys would have to do.

Just like a little sample, what would it have been?

You know what?

If it's okay with you, at some point when I get them in my hand, because they were supposed to arrive Friday by mail, I'd like to drop them off and show them to you because I had all these goodies lined up for you.

He had something for you on Sunday.

The water is actually getting shut down in this building all weekend, and you were going to have to piss in a jug with us.

Really?

Yeah.

At the same time, it was going to be a triple.

Yeah, sword shame.

Sword fight.

All right, so

what about your honeymoon?

That is.

John Rossin's not going to Europe.

Yeah, that's to be determined as of right now.

We may have to pivot.

I'm going to have to discuss that with my beautiful fiancé, Alana, as well.

Maybe just go to VCU instead.

Maybe VCU or Bar Coastal.

Well, Bar Coastal.

Afternoon wings.

Bar Coastal, which you guys still have not been to, which is the best wings on the planet, especially when you mix in the waffle fries with the carry sauce.

I'm going to go right after I finish this interview because I'm going to celebrate the 1920 season and I'm going to obviously say farewell, but I'm going to celebrate a great season that just did not have an ending.

Donald Kim goes to Bar Coastal for all of us.

He does.

He loves it.

Bubba loves Bar Coastal.

Bubba's a great American.

I went there once.

He is.

I went there for one one Saturday, and it was great.

It was delightful.

It was college football Saturday.

So it was like all you can drink and all you can eat chicken wings.

I enjoyed it, and I still want to go there with you and eat.

Was it like all you can eat still?

Cherry Style Wings, which is an off-the-menu sauce, which is to dive for it.

It's at Bar Coastal on 78th and 1st.

It's the best wings in the city.

It's an LA-style bar.

So I think maybe, you know, maybe after we all get over the March hangover, maybe in April, the three of us can go.

We can break bread,

have some wings, have a little wing-eating contest, and do it for the people.

Yes.

Because one thing I've learned more than ever this year is it's about giving back.

It's about being about more than just the sports.

So I think the three of us should do that.

And again, continue to celebrate this season and look forward to next year.

Because here's the thing, too.

And I've talked to a number of coaches today, and I've talked to two on the way over here.

I talked to Ed Cooley from Providence.

Did you take back any of your good luck techs?

What?

Like, did you send a good luck and then the games got canceled and you're like, no, no, no, no, man.

Okay.

Yeah.

The good luck stands.

All right.

Yeah, but you, hey, look, you want everybody to do well.

I mean, you want to root for everybody's success and so on and so forth.

So, Ed Cooley, our friend, great guy.

Great guy.

I talked to Ed Cooley.

I talked to some other coaches.

And he was just talking about how obviously disappointed he was for his kids and so on and so forth.

But I just kind of said, like, you know, this is the bottom line right now.

If your players right now, with what they're dealing with in college basketball, if this is the worst thing that happens to them in their life, it's a great life.

That's great.

And that's, you that's what we all have to remember at this point, that this is all something that's unfortunate.

It's disappointing and so on and so forth.

And that's why the big thing right now is just make sure everybody out there is healthy, wish them luck in their endeavors and so on and so forth, and just keep it moving.

And like I said,

it's an end to the 1920 season, but we just recharge.

We look forward to 2021.

What about Mike Bloomberg says, I'm going to give a billion dollars.

I'm going to create a biodome.

We're going to play the tournament in the biodome.

Also, I'm back in the biodome it's just a big bubble where it not no no viruses can get in we'll bring all the teams we'll wait two weeks well first we have to do the biodome yep well he'll he'll do it he's got the money he probably has one that he's just waiting to go to it's just going can we

could that possibly bring the tournament i don't think so man i think the tournament's dumb you didn't say no though i didn't say no you said i don't think so

i guarantee you if mike bloomberg just put a pile of cash out on like center court of a basketball court and say best team wins this big pile of cash we could actually get some court some kind of tournament going right?

Yeah.

Probably that.

Probably could.

I mean, but you know, we're not going to have what we had.

All right, so we're not going to have March.

No, I've accepted that.

We're not going to have March.

Maybe we'll have April.

Yeah.

Maybe we'll have May.

We don't know.

Still could happen.

But I need a John Rothstein certified NCAA champion.

Who won the tournament this year?

Ooh.

Just crowned champion.

I would have picked Kansas to win the national championship.

Okay, that's fair.

I would have picked Kansas to win.

National championships.

They were number one in everything.

Literally everything.

They were the juggernaut, the team team that everyone was like, well, there's no good team this year.

Kansas was that team.

Did you have any John Rossine isms that you were holding back and you weren't for Misha March?

Give us one, an exclusive.

No, to be honest with you, the biggest thing that I'm disappointed about is, you know, when you guys reached out, you know, a couple of weeks ago that we were going to do something selection Sunday, I had all these things for the two of you, and I'm going to have to come back at a different time and drop them off, and so on and so forth.

You're like Costanza leaving his hat

to hang out with you.

That's right.

I did did get that reference.

That's right.

Absolutely.

Exactly.

But I just want to tell you this.

The

jerk store called and they're running out of you.

All right, so let's talk about that.

Let's talk about what people can do now.

The March Madness is not going to happen.

We think

it could still happen.

What do we think in movies?

A few good men.

We think in

the 90s.

A few good men, Wall Street, you know,

somebody texted me.

They said, you know, it's never a better time to watch The Godfather Epic.

And I said, Hyman Roth, when you think about everything, was 100% correct.

Good health is the most important thing, more than success, more than money, more than power.

If you have your health, you got it all.

You got it all.

You have to tweet out like every day, like, today's the, we're watching this movie from 1994.

What about Shaw Shank?

Shut up, I'm Brent.

We could do Shawshank.

Are you a Jurassic Park fan?

Well, I actually thought about Jurassic Park a little bit during this whole instance because remember in the scene when obviously the power goes off.

I never saw it.

You never saw Jurassic Park?

What do you hate fun?

Yeah, he's never fun.

Don't worry about it.

He's never going to catch up to you.

You never saw Jurassic Park.

I dismissed it.

You haven't seen a movie since 2002.

No, that's not true.

I've seen it.

Did you see any of the Oscar movies?

Jurassic World.

Did you see it?

And Creed.

Did you see any of the Oscar movies this year?

Well, I mean, they came out during the season, so no.

You saw Wolf of Wall Street, I bet.

Great movie.

Yeah, yeah.

Great movie.

All right, so wait, Jurassic Park, what, Bloodscene, the lights go out?

When they're thinking about obviously, you know, trying to restart the system and put the perimeter fences back on.

Exactly.

And, you know,

John Hammond, who created Jurassic Park, says, people are dying.

Please shut down the system.

And I thought about that in reference to everything that was going on because that's the big thing right here, guys.

We're in a state of emergency now, not just in New York City, but nationwide

and in the world.

So that's the bigger thing right now.

It's on the bottom.

It's crazy.

You created a live-action targeted meme.

John Hammond is the NCAA.

People are dying.

Shut down.

Shut down the button and they close down the tournament.

Hold on to your butts.

Logistically speaking, and this is a little more of a serious question.

I know that the NCAA obviously makes a lot of their money from March Madness.

What is this going to do?

I feel like, and I'll throw this out there, I think the NCAA probably will use this as a we can't pay the players.

We lost the 2020 tournament.

Is there going to be like a trickle-down effect here where they start crying poor, or there's, you know, things get cut because they missed this much money?

Yeah, I mean, I don't want to speculate on speculation.

I'm sure that, you know, and this is, you know, for for my bosses to handle at CBS, I'm sure that, you know, if they tweak things on the deal with CBS and Turner because they obviously, you know, didn't get a year of the tournament, but I don't have any information on that.

That's for people well above my payment.

Double turn the next year.

Double tournament next year.

Double tournament.

Like that.

Failed of 128.

Or just double elimination.

Just run it back.

Do the tournament.

Run it back.

Every game is a three-game series.

Yes.

How great would that be?

Ooh, I like that.

How about that, John?

One and done's the best.

No, come on.

Double trip, man.

How have you see Jurassic Park?

Wait, hold on.

You are so set the next time there's a blizzard.

Hold on.

We'll do one and done, one and done tournament,

champion, one and done tournament.

That's a terrible thing.

Champion.

No.

Play them together.

And if the one and done champion wins both times, they're the ultimate champion.

They won 2020.

No.

The ultimate warrior.

No.

They won 2020, though.

They won both.

What are you calling the Ultimate Warrior for?

This isn't WrestleMania 6.

No, but that's where we crowned them.

We crowned them.

And then.

Can you watch WrestleMania?

I can create it.

The Ultimate Warrior 6.

No, no.

WrestleMania 6, I cried.

It was a low point.

Everybody's like, well, when you were a sports fan before you got into media, what was your lowest moment?

It wasn't necessarily the Knicks in 94.

It was WrestleMania 6 when Hogan lost the Ultimate Challenge.

Remember the intro too for that?

It was just, it had that galaxy of stars, and it was like champion versus champion.

Title for title.

It's the ultimate challenge.

You should have Ultimate Warrior sprinting into the arena with Jim Nance's tie in his hand, giving it to the best senior player.

Oh, by the way, who won Jim Nance's tie this year?

Well, there was no title.

No,

who will win?

It would have been Devon Devon Dotson.

Congrats to Devon Dotson.

Congrats to Devon Dotson.

That's nice.

There you go.

But,

I mean, I just want to let you know how much I appreciate being on with you guys during such a difficult day.

And, you know, again, I think the big picture thing right now is like what I said when I was talking to some of those coaches.

If this is the worst thing that happens in these kids' lives, they're going to have a great life.

But I will be back to give you guys that apparel because

a lot like TSA Pre-Check and Clear, when you get this apparel, it will be life-altering.

I love that you include Clear in it now.

Yeah, I love that.

By the way, it's been a massive upgrade.

It's TSA PreCheck on steroids.

Last time you came here, we discussed Clear for, I believe, no less than five minutes, and Clear reached out to us and hooked us all up with Clear subscriptions.

So thank you.

All right.

You've changed my life.

I was always trying to help out my friends.

How did you tell me that?

I paid for Clear PFT.

No, I took Hank's $100, and then I said I signed you up.

Who makes the Rostein Life videos?

This guy that does work for me, he works for Kaiser Soza.

Oh.

Do you get that reference?

Yes, I do get that reference.

I don't know if you didn't see the Editorial.

Did you see that movie?

The dress bar is the only movie I missed.

It's the only movie I missed.

The Rosting Life videos are unbelievable.

I appreciate it, man.

Just trying to climb, man.

Just rosting life.

Just watch out.

You don't know about that life.

All right, I got one last question.

See, key question.

Promo code take.

Use promo code take to go to

see a game at some point.

And when they play the tournament in late April.

Yep, when they play the tournament.

We win.

Mike Bloomberg's biodome.

Just pretend that they could wake up tomorrow and be like, hey, just kidding.

It was our fault.

What if the Institute was just like on a bender today?

They were just drunk.

They wake up.

I think you guys are in Leftfield with a hockey stick right now.

Ham McCaffrey said that if they played it in June, he'd be in.

We'd all be in.

And that's the thing that I was really disappointed about because I felt when we had momentum shift about midday today with everything being canceled, I said, okay, let's just take a delay and so on and so forth.

And then it turned out that it didn't seem like that.

You want to tell everybody, like, chill out, take a deep breath, but that's actually probably the worst advice medically to give somebody at this point.

Also, it was a big missed opportunity now that I'm thinking about it for some of these teams.

Like, Nebraska should have come out and been like,

we are not going to be in the NCAA tournament.

Like, before they could, you know, because they won a single-digit game.

Yeah, exactly.

Exactly.

All right.

My last question, though, for real is: now, you texted me before you got here what our our address was because we moved offices.

I don't think you've been in this office.

I was in this one in the show we did in the preseason.

Okay.

Before the game season started.

All right.

So you have been in this office, but you forgot the address.

Is that why we haven't gotten to save the dates for the wedding yet?

That's a great question.

I mean, are you guys going to crash?

Do you want to come?

Because we would think about it.

Yeah.

When is it?

It is going to be over the summer.

I'm a great wedding guest.

Interesting.

I've got

a Mando Chino suit.

We just came in.

I've got some good moves on.

We just came in and we came out.

We just showed up.

I'm sure you have a bunch of different mascots that are going to come and dance on the floor.

Mascots?

Yeah.

Bucky the Badger.

You've never been to a wedding where the mascot shows up?

No.

Electric.

I've been to a couple that Bucky the Badger's been at.

It's awesome.

So, Wilk, we will wear.

I don't know.

You pick your favorite two teams.

We don't have favorite two teams, but we'll wear whatever mascot will show up.

We'll dance a little and then we'll get out.

I'll be the

thing from Providence, whatever that night is.

Fryer.

Yeah, Fryer.

Okay.

I'll be the Western Kentucky guy, the big red guy.

Okay.

Not the Mountaineer from West Virginia?

I could be the Mountaineer.

Oh, Hank has the beard for the Mountaineer.

Yes, Hank, yeah.

Hank is even better than Ben Ruff.

Yes.

Yes, let's do that.

You don't even have to put me down for a plate.

I won't eat any food.

Just

a soak and bar, right?

We were talking about, like, you know, how everybody wants to do

the, everybody's like, oh, you got to do like the post-wedding brunch or whatever.

I was like, you know what?

Instead of the post-wedding brunch, why don't we do something like at-bar coastal so everybody can sleep in a little bit and have all you can like eat like

regardless of what day it is over the summer.

Yes, we will be there.

As long as it's not a Sunday.

Okay, but you'll be there at that regardless.

I'll be there.

I'm then.

Does that mean we're not going to do like the thing anyway?

Oh, we can do it on your bed, but I'll go on a trip.

I want to be part of the.

I want to be like, yeah, I didn't go to the wedding.

Do you have a bachelor party?

What?

You haven't a bachelor party?

I haven't thought about it because I was trying to find out if the ATC is going to be a good one.

You want to slam it?

We could call a bachelor party?

I mean, have your people call my people.

I mean, we could do a bachelor party just in New York City.

I was on Saturday.

I was thinking about Springfield for the Hall of Fame.

We could do whatever you want.

We will.

If you allow us to

videotape it, we will definitely

do videotape.

No, we won't videotape everything.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's like for granted, but that actually would be an incredible content thing.

We plan your bachelor party.

We do your bachelor party.

Okay.

And we can rediscuss this when I give you guys your apparel.

This is.

I like that.

I want to show your bachelor party.

I'm sorry about that.

We will tailor-make it for John Rosteen.

Like, we will make it all.

Okay, well, what would you do then?

Set up beer pong, except it's just peach baskets that are nailed to each one.

No, all right.

So, no, here we go.

Just off the top of my head, Saturday morning, start off.

Coach K comes in.

He lectures us on how to be a good sport.

Then, right after that, we go to,

let's see,

let's go to, maybe we'll have Sean Miller show up.

We'll go for schwitz with him in the steam room.

We'll just make it all college basketball.

We'll take you to Hooters, and then you'll sit down for some wings, and Dickie V will pop up and just go, it's awesome, dude.

Yeah, we'll have Izzo come.

He'll yell at us, and then we'll do a press conference after saying we actually like being coached that hard, and we will make it like a fantasy camp for Jon Rossi.

Do you think you guys can get all those guys to show for my bachelor's party?

If you let me use your phone, yes.

And you have all their numbers.

Nobody uses my phone.

And Buzz Williams comes and wakes us up every morning at 4:30 in the morning.

We bench

Buzz Williams.

Yeah, nobody sleeps less than Buzz.

And we'll get Buzz to send out the invitations.

He'll write out all all the letters and mail them out.

Buzz sends, whatchamacallit?

Buzz sends out Christmas cookies every year.

Christmas cookies every year.

Every year, yeah.

And I know whether he's a Virginia tech, yeah.

We'll finish the day.

We'll finish the day.

We'll get big, you know, frame pictures of us, and we'll finish the day with Cal doing a press conference in his living room with us in the frame pictures being like, these are my guys.

I love these guys.

My number one picks.

Look at, oh, they just happen to be here in these pictures.

This is awesome.

How about that for a day?

Hey, man.

If you guys can make it happen, that's it.

Dinner at Olive Garden.

Rick Petino's picking up the tab.

Here's that.

Yes, this is all set.

We can't have a bachelor party in New York City and eat at the Olive Garden.

Yeah, we can.

Well, when Rick's paying the tax.

We're running this bachelor party.

So it's going to be the time of your life.

We'll do a periscope with Dickie V at Olive Garden.

I'll buy you one lap dance, and the song's going to be One Shiny Moment.

Right.

Well, no, I'll buy you the lap.

No, I'll have TFT buy you the lap dance, and then I'll say afterwards that I just trusted him too much.

Okay.

All right, all right.

All right.

All right, John Rosteen, thank you so much.

Sorry, this is all, I mean, this is, like we said, bigger than

basketball.

Sports, bigger than basketball.

It's a sad day, and again, we have a right to understand why the decision was made, but we can also feel disappointed about why the decision was made.

All right, wait, one last, last question.

Yeah.

What happens?

Tomorrow morning, we wake up.

Your wedding is July.

Let's say we won't do a specific day.

Mark Emmert says, we're having the tournament July.

We've got to postpone the wedding.

Wow.

Okay.

We've got to postpone the wedding.

I mean, we're not talking about kickbowl here.

It's the CA tournament.

But you know what?

That's not going to happen.

No,

it might.

We don't know that.

Let me have.

Has anybody told you specifically that we're not going to have the tournament in July?

Yes.

Has anyone told you?

Well, I know this.

The NBA draft is the last week of June.

Right.

So right there, we're going to eliminate a lot of the top players.

No, they can push that back.

Yeah.

Oh, sure.

Obviously.

Let's just keep going hypothetically.

They're not going to finish the NBA season until August.

I do feel really bad for Dayton.

Because

that's a year they have once every 20 years.

I mean, but even San Diego State, like, here's the thing.

No, they were a fraud.

But here's the thing.

I'll put them on my fraud list.

But here's the thing.

Things broke right in front of him, and I've been saying this for weeks, that San Diego State never wanted to truly be the one seed in the East.

If it wanted to go to a Final Four, it should have been the two in the West because that would have kept them in L.A.

They would have played Gonzaga or whatever.

And then, you know, other schools, you're right, like Dayton, like BYU.

Like, when's the next time in the day and age that we're in right now that BYU is going to have a player like Yoli Childs?

I know.

I mean, it's all disappointing.

That was a team that was fun, that was old, that was an unbelievable three-point shooting team, a breathtaking offensive team.

And, you know, they're never going to get an opportunity.

But again, the moral is this, and this is, again, what I've gotten from a lot of coaches today.

If this is the worst thing and the biggest disappointment that, you know, these kids and even, you know, us, like, you know, you don't get to cover an NCAA tournament.

Like, you work all year for this.

I go to 40 practices a year just, you know, watching, writing, tweeting for this, and you don't have it.

Write an e-book.

Write an e-book.

Do a fan fic of how the NCAA tournament would have unfolded for you.

I'm not going to do that.

I'm just flipping the page.

No, I'm looking for 2021.

I want an e-book.

You know everything.

I'm not going to head to 2021.

Drawn off to Kansas.

Yeah.

2020 National Champions.

Wisconsin probably would have gone to Final Four and then broke my heart, which is fine.

I think for Wisconsin,

there's a likelihood of either getting to a Final Four or having

a loss in the round of 32 comparable to what Vanderbilt had when Wisconsin beat him in 2012.

Remember that game in the round of 32 in Wisconsin, and then

subsequently had a tough loss against Syracuse in Boston in the Sweet 16, where it could have won the game.

The amazing thing about all this, guys, too, is the Ivy League set the precedent.

The Ivy League set the president, and the Ivy League, okay, remember this, up until a few years ago, did not have a conference tournament.

I know.

They didn't have a conference tournament.

Ruined the whole thing.

Damn.

And now it's over.

So sad.

It is sad.

But as you said,

we can be sad about this happening, but it was the right decision.

It was the right decision.

And again, every day is a gift.

Every day is a gift.

Are lovely.

John Rostein, thank you so much.

Thank you, fellas.

That interview with John Rostein was.

Hey, everybody, it's Vibbs, and this is my PSA to remind you that golf season is officially here.

Whether you end up in the fairway or in the woods, fire up your round this spring with the official shot of golf, Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey.

Slip a couple minis in your bag for you and the boys so that no matter how you hit them, you're still having a killer day out on the course.

Ignite the fairways with Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey.

You know that one sandwich you always crave?

The one that just hits every single time?

For me, it's a simple yet perfect combination.

Boar's head oven gold turkey.

Sliced thin, piled high on fresh sourdough with a sharp cheddar crisp lettuce, tomato, a little honey mustard, and just a touch of mayo.

Simple, but the flavors, unreal.

And that's the thing.

When you start with quality ingredients, you don't need to do much.

Boar's head is my go-to because every bite tastes like it was made just for me.

Premium cuts, incredible flavor, and that perfect balance of freshness.

So next time you're at the deli, do yourself a favor.

Ask for Boar's Head and build your ultimate sandwich.

Trust me, you'll taste the difference.

Head to your local boars head deli and experience the craftsmanship behind every bite.

Okay, let's do some Firefest.

Charles Barkley got sick.

He self-quarantined.

Oh, no, really?

Self-quarantined is just a ridiculous thing to say.

Like, that's going to be...

That's going to be something.

Is it going to get overused?

No, yeah, we're definitely going to use...

That's going to be memeable.

Yeah,

I've been self-quarantining my penis for right, right, That kind of shit.

So, self-quarantined Charles Barkley.

And then I just.

He's going to get so fat.

It just tonight.

I am too.

I looked in my freezer, by the way.

I think I'm set.

Unintentionally, I'm set.

I just got a ton of meat in there.

So I'm going to go keto, keto.

Keto.

I'm going to go keto

over the course of this self-quarantine that I'm putting on myself.

How about I just realized this.

Talking about people who like this actually is positive for the Houston Astros.

They're like.

And Harvey Weinstein.

And Harvey Weinstein.

He's fucking.

That's.

Harvey Weinstein's probably trying to sneak out of jail right now using this as a cover.

We did a.

The beginning of this show was obviously a little doom and gloom.

We're going to be okay.

We're going to be okay, people.

We're just going to take precautions.

We're going to flatten the curve.

Yeah.

Wash your hands, social distancing, follow the regulations, but don't get so down on yourself that everything's going to...

Maybe I said that we're all going to die and the world's ending at the beginning, but I'm.

We are all going to die eventually.

It's just a fact.

The world is going to end eventually.

Netflix, they're also probably feeling pretty happy about all this.

Stock through the roof.

Is it Sonk up with Netflix?

Yeah, probably.

I would assume so.

That and.

Oh, I'm going to Call of Duty.

I'm back.

I'm getting back on the sticks.

Do some Call of Duty for sure.

I'm going to read.

No, I'm not.

Let's do our Fire Fest.

Let's finish with our Fire Fest.

We have Jay Glazer on Monday.

And remember, we're going to do a Love is Blind review for Monday.

Hank.

So I prefaced this before.

It was tough.

I usually sometimes don't always have a fire fest.

You know, not a lot to complain about.

Last weekend, I was on Long Island.

In.

On Long Island.

Inside Long Island.

Glenny Balls, who is the inventor of the ball scale.

We've talked about him with Miles Teller and Zach Efron.

He lives near where I was, and he has been talking about this deli that he always goes to.

It's his favorite deli in the world, and he's a food expert.

So that obviously means that he's a food scale.

So I went with him to a place called My Hero Deli.

Very good.

I gave it like 4.8 balls.

Very good.

I took a picture of it, put it on my Instagram story, and I didn't put the song, There Goes My Hero.

No, Hank.

So, it was just a picture of

music.

Did you do I Can Be Your Hero?

I didn't do anything.

I didn't do any type of like hero joke.

I didn't take it to the next level.

What are you doing?

Hank.

I mean, and

it's all I've been thinking about, really.

That's tough, man.

That's it.

Have you been getting roasted in the comment section?

I mean, yeah,

I had a friend reach out to me, like, text me on the side.

I was like, dude, what do you, like,

you missed a prime opportunity?

Yeah, I sat down.

I just wanted to say that.

Why did it take you so long to get it?

I read the message, and I had to sit down on the subway.

Yeah, it took you a while to get that 100K.

Damn.

You would have gotten there years ago if you were able to come up with stuff like that.

Damn.

Is that it?

What's yours?

Is that not enough?

Is that your firefest?

That's more enough.

My firefest of the week is

I thought that we would at least have some

reprieve from having no sports on TV to maybe getting into esports.

Maybe this was what was going to get us involved.

But Zach Lowe just said that the NBA 2K League is expected to announce tonight that it's postponing the start of its season.

That was going to begin on March 24th.

No, March 24th, as we say.

Yeah.

I had that circled.

Okay, yeah.

The league and 2K are working closely to see if it's possible to play the games remotely, the source says.

Self-corporate.

So hopefully, video gamers can figure out how to compete against each other in the privacy of their own homes.

I don't know.

It seems like a pretty big technological step we're going to have to make, but I have confidence that the people in 2K League will figure out a way to let people play video games in their homes.

I'm no Revelle esports expert, but I do.

I'm pretty sure that the 2K League is five players.

You're only controlling one player.

Yeah, yeah, you only have one player.

So they actually do kind of need to be.

Like one guy gets his leg, one the other leg, the way

on five dick.

It's five on five and you're on a massive one player.

Oh yeah, but you can do that remotely.

You can squat up.

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't know.

I mean they yeah.

But yeah, that's tough.

I hope that they can figure out a way to play video games separately.

Yeah.

All right.

I got two Firefests.

One is I

actually,

and I'm not like, you know, there's no hyperbole in this one.

I have never been hotter as a gambler in my entire life, 20 years of gambling than I have been in the last three weeks, and coronavirus stopped it.

All sports.

And we've actually been documenting, like, you do the central show.

It's like up.

It's up like 30 units.

It's not like hyperbole.

Like, oh, I'm doing well.

It's like, it's physically on record.

I think I honestly have two losing days in the last 21 days.

This is the universe forcing you to quit while you're ahead.

No, I feel like, no, I feel like you were about to turn the corner and just nose down.

Even the game, even the Big East game, I was going to win that bet.

The halftime ones?

Yeah.

Yes.

That was the only ones that didn't finish, I was going to win.

That was probably going to be a bad beat and was going to start a bad losing streak.

I won Europa League.

That's pretty impressive.

I mean, it's crazy.

I've been winning soccer.

The only thing that could stop me is coronavirus.

I was that hot.

I was in the zone.

I also watched so much college basketball this year and just flush all that knowledge down the drain.

So sad.

Although you've watched a lot of college basketball in the past.

Yeah, no, I know, I know.

But this year I was hot.

It's one of those things where

if you become an expert at something, it's almost like you overthink it and you become worse at gambling.

I was so hot this year.

My other Firefest is

Hank.

Hank tweeted out an email that I guess we weren't on, but everyone else got in the office that everyone needs to clean up their workspace.

So this is a Firefest for you, too.

I can't get off my desk anymore.

So I didn't realize it till after the fact because I kind of caused a hysteria.

Oh, you think?

I tweeted it out because I got the email.

I was on the way to work, so I was like traveling.

I got the email, read it, and it said, hi, all.

And it's from one of the

head of production people, and it said, hi, all.

And it was like, Everyone's got to clean up their space, blah, blah, blah, blah.

We're getting the office exterminated.

And then a bunch of people, content people, like, what the fuck?

Where was that from?

And then I looked back, and the

email was only sent to like video editors and some of the producers and like control room people.

So it might not have been meant for the content.

So what are they going to do?

They know that aren't.

No, no, we don't.

We should clean the pile.

No, I think, oh,

Hank, if they're not going to get exterminated, all we have to do is just open up the windows.

Spray Lysol.

Nature take care of it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'll self-quarantine the pile.

I will spray a whole can of Lysol on the pile.

I actually think that being around the pile has probably strengthened our immune systems.

Without a doubt.

My mom saw that on Twitter and texted me.

Also, if and when the pile in your office is cleaned, you will find it is full of mice and that's it is perfect for them.

No, I think she's that's she's being hateful.

Also, let's just remind everyone: the pile is for charity.

That thing is ready to go for charity.

Now, I'm not going to let this cleaning force my hand because it's not ready yet.

It's close, but it's not right.

The pile is going to be ready to be auctioned off somewhere around,

I want to say May.

The finals.

NBA finals.

Yes.

I will auction off the pile as soon as the NBA playoffs start.

If they don't have them this year, that's going to be a hell of a pile.

So you're serious that Charles Barkley is actually awaiting the results of the testing.

He's self-quarantine.

I knew he was self-quarantine, but he actually got tested.

Yeah.

Because rich people can get tested, but no one else can.

Jeez.

That's pretty sweet.

Kind of fucked, right?

That's pretty awesome.

I saw that they were injecting $1.5 trillion into the economy.

First of all, what the fuck is $1.5 trillion?

We just had that laying around?

Is that how it works?

You throw it in the, it's like,

it's like chipping in for pizza.

Here you go.

Here you go, banks.

Here's another $1.5 trillion.

All right, what do I know?

Okay, all right.

I'll just give you 1.5 trillion.

That's pretty badass, though, that the government's just got like $1.5 trillion that they could just drop.

Right.

That's retail therapy for the United States government right there.

All right.

You want to take us out, PFT?

I do.

I love you guys.

Fuck the coronavirus.

There's no more badness.

Now there's only sadness.
