Welcome to Mostly Sports presented by Body Armor Flash IV. I am Mark Titus. Brandon Walker is out. He's in Sedona, Arizona. Did not disclose what he's doing out there. Just said he's got to get away. Said he needs some time for himself and maybe one other person is how he phrased it. Said I need some time for me and then put parentheses and maybe one other person with a winking emoji. What does that mean Connor? I guess we'll have to wait for the New York Post. Yeah, we'll have to wait and see. It is Wednesday, April 8th. We are live from Chicago. We are brought to you by Body Armor Flash IV. The official rapid rehydration drink of March Madness and also the official rapid rehydration drink of me right this second. I am running on fumes, folks. I'm not going to lie to you. I missed time my vacation this year. I should not be here. I feel like shit. I like to take a little break after March Madness. I messed up. I'm not leaving until Saturday. And yeah, and I would not be able to even be sitting in this chair if not for Body Armor Flash IV. It is a godsend. It is packed with electrolytes delivering faster, longer lasting hydration without any artificial dyes, flavors or sweeteners, whether you're training, traveling or feeling the heat. Work hard and hydrate hard with Body Armor Flash IV. The official rapid rehydration drink of March Madness, grab it at 7-eleven. It is keeping me upright right now. It is a godsend, as I said earlier. All right. We have to talk about the stories more. I mean, we have to talk about this. Don't we? We have to talk about this. So I'm torn because on the one hand, I hate paparazzi. I hate them so much. I am someone who has the opinion that if someone punches a paparazzi in the face, you are just out in public trying to live your life. Fuck them. I genuinely think they're scum of the earth. People that take these types of pictures. On the other hand, also, I'm not an infidelity guy. I want that on record. We can put that in a quote card. I do not like infidelity. I don't like people who have commitments to others turning their backs on their families and whatnot. So I'm torn here, Connor. I'm torn. Now, here's what we do know. So part of me is like, this is fucked up. You're taking these pictures from like three miles away with a... Who knows how great of a lens and cameras these days. I guess this is like an iPhone advertisement. Baby. Have you seen these new iPhones that they zoom in and get super close details? But have you seen the zoomed out one? How far away the guy was. It was taking these pictures. The zoomed out one is crazy. Fucking insane how far away he is. Also does make it seem that to me was the most damning picture of any of them. Yeah. It's like, oh, they're just totally... There's just nobody around. There's nobody around. So yeah, on the one hand, I hate this precedent. I do not want people to be doing this to people. I do not like the idea of like, oh, this person is in public and I can just take pictures of them without a care in the world. On the other hand, your public figures and your... The head coach of the New England Patriots. Yeah. Yeah. So I also understand why this is a juicy story and why we should talk about it. So my question for the room is this, and I'm not defending them. I just think it's worthy of having a discussion. How damning on a scale of one to 10 was this? How damning was this? Because we're not going to get the... We're not going to get certain tapes from behind closed doors. I know that. But that's pretty... This is crazy. That's pretty damning, right? Yeah. That's pretty damning. Because they immediately were like, this is nothing. This was... There are people just out of frame. It was the Nathan Fielder meme where it's like, I'm out with all my friends. They're just out of frame. There's nobody around them. They tried to say that. This is pretty damning, right? At the very least, you're interlocking fingers as you greet each other. That's not nothing. I've never done that with a friend. I've never done that with any... With a friend? I've never done that with my wife. With a friend. I've never... My wife and I at the altar didn't do that. We're standing out to... If I were to try to interlock fingers, she would have been like, that's a bit much, don't you think? Did they put out a statement? Did they...? I thought they did. I thought they did. Maybe I'm ball sacked. I'm very uncomfortable with this story. Because obviously, it is families. It's marriages. It's also not... If it is true, what's going on? Not the best look for all of the women in sports media. And I care about them and I'm thinking about them today as well. No it's fuck, but that's why I think people don't want to talk about it because it makes them uncomfortable. But on the other hand, you don't talk about it. They kind of get away with it. And this is bad behavior that needs to be called out. Yes. And I'm trying to see a world where this is not romantic. I was too. I was like... I said to myself as I saw the pictures, I was like, now hang on a second. Yes. Is this fair? Because if this was Adam Schefter. And Adam Schefter and Mike Rabel were interlocking fingers as they greeted each other, which... I would not put past Adam Schefter, by the way. No. Adam Schefter is a guy who would definitely do that with an NFL head coach. What would our thoughts be then? Are we being fair? And then I said to myself, yeah. I think we are being fair because this would just not happen. There's no world in which an NFL reporter or an NFL head coach should be doing this. No. And I imagine their worlds are fucking crazy right now. Yeah. And yeah, I want to be respectful of that, but this is a bizarre situation. I saw this at the timeline. We weren't going to acknowledge it on the Barstool After Dark stream last night. The entire chat. Why were you not going to acknowledge it? Because we didn't know what was going on. You got to get all the details. You got to hear both sides. Yeah. And that's why we still don't know the full context. But everybody in the chat was just like, talk about Racini. Talk about Rabel. Talk about this. Talk about that. It's like, we didn't know. I just saw the story while we were alive. And I was stunned by it. They did both make statements to the post. Yeah. Let me read the sweet statements. Yeah. They did. Let me read the sweet statements. Yeah. Racini said, the photos don't represent the group of six people who are hanging out during the day, like most journalists in the NFL reporters interact with sources away from the state. Like most journalists, we interlock our fingers and share a moment on a balcony without anybody within a half mile of us. This is just standard. I'm not kidding. This isn't a joke. You might laugh at it, but I'm not joking. They are more intimate than I was at the altar with my wife. They are. We can confirm. That's what that picture, pull it back up. The middle one where they're interlocking fingers, that's the image that comes to mind as a husband and wife at the altar that are about to say their vows to each other. And I don't think I was, I don't remember being like that. I was. Yeah. Now granted, these are still shot pictures. You can find the perfect moment. Right. That it's to portray it as this romantic thing. That one. That one's the one. Yeah. But like the, if it was a video, maybe it'd be different. Even the background is romantic. Be there. Be there defense attorney for me, Connor, because you have to hear both sides. And I agree with you that you can't just, you can't rush to judgment. You can't, there are context. There are contexts where, you know, two adults are, are at an adults only resort, you know, two hours away from where they were supposed to be, you know, without their families and they're just on a private balcony as the sun is setting. There are contexts where you might find yourself doing that. So we got to hear both sides, be their defense attorney. Okay. Explain to me how this is not an issue. Your honor, they were clothed at least to some extent in the pool pictures, not as much. However, it was very clear that even in the interlocking of fingers, there was a good, I'd say four foot distance between them. Right. Middle school dance necessarily. It wasn't necessarily, it wasn't so sensual. And I think maybe it could just be something that is not romantic or anything in that nature. I don't know. They weren't smooching. No, no smooch. And they weren't. If you know there was, if there was a smooch, that absolutely is going to be a picture. So let me frame it this way, Connor. You're married to one of these people and this comes out. You're at home because they each have spouses in their home. And it stands to reason. I don't know how the spouse is found out, but it stands to reason that the spouse is found out at the same time we all found out. The post puts this thing up and they're just like, wait, what the fuck? What is your reaction? And then your wife calls you or your husband, I guess, I don't know which way you swing. And they calls you and they say, that was nothing. Now, listen, I work in the NFL. I have to do my job. We're at the same hotel. I went up to talk to them about some off-season moves, like what they're thinking in the draft. Some fucking psycho from three miles away with the Superzoom lens takes a picture of us. And now it's this big story. Babe, this was nothing. What do you do, Connor? So you just wanted me to defend them and now you're asking me to put on my husband cap? I'm asking you for another perspective. OK, divorce. Divorce. No, I don't know. Because listen, I'm more worried. I mean, this is terrible to say because I don't know anything about the personal lives. I don't know their relationship together, Vrable and Racini and everything. So I'm not necessarily focusing on their personal lives, even though I'm sure that, yes, that is the most important thing. And I don't know what the repercussions from this will be on their personal lives. I just know looking at it from the professional lens, because that is the world that we do see. Yeah, I think that's why this is a story. Mike Vrable was just a former player in the NFL who was retired and he wasn't really working right now and just living on some land he bought after he retired and doing who knows what the fuck he's doing with his life. He's just a rich man, just a random rich man. And then you see a picture. Is that Mike? Is that Vrable? And I do think that we would just be gossipy bitches if we were talking about this. But this is a very renowned NFL reporter. Yes, one of the biggest reporters in the sport. And a head football coach who was coaching in the Super Bowl just a few months ago, a couple months ago. Yeah, so even if they were totally single, this would still be a major fucking story. I'm reading the page six. Both Racini and Vrable insist they were with friends and say they simply weren't visible in the pictures. Three other eyewitnesses told us they did not see anyone with Vrable and Racini. There's also more photos of them in the resort. I don't know how. Where do these come from? I don't think they were being very inconsistent. I think this is just a new approach. I think they were sitting there being like, what the fuck? That might be a defense they have is like, listen, if we were cheating, wouldn't we try to be more secretive about it? Why would we be out in the open like this? But at the same time, I don't know, you'd just probably be invincible on a certain extent. The streets were saying last night, this is violating rule number one is that you never bring the side piece outside. She stays indoors. That's what the streets were saying. Whose rule is that? The streets. That was what was going around. So maybe, yeah, like this is not... Again, we're trying to look at it from every single lens here and maybe this is not a romantic thing. Maybe they just were a little bit unprofessional. Yeah. Because yeah, regardless, whether they're married, they have kids, whether they're single or not, reporter, coach, that is a very unprofessional nature to that whole hangout. Yeah. So... But there's one more angle we could look at it from and it's you put yourself in their shoes and you report back to me how it feels. So what I need you and Ebo to do right now is interlock your hands and stare into each other's eyes and hold it for like 10 seconds. Now Mark, what else are we... And then you tell me... Yeah. Is this part of your fit? This is part of you and Brandon's fan fiction you're writing about me and Connor. We're not writing any fan fiction. We're just observing what everyone else is. Because... We're going to leave and we're going to catch you from far away. Yes. We're going to zoom the lens out and then zoom it in and... Connor, you realize what they're doing right now. Get up and stand in the... Brandon's not here. We need some time to kill. We'll do it. I need you to tell me is it possible to interlock all 10 fingers and look into each other's eyes as friends? Is that something that is possible or do you feel a romantic attachment when you do that? No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, she's been saying how AJ Brown and all this stuff about him and his fit in Philadelphia How he's on the trading block in New England all that type of stuff. Just just be on the lookout What do we think happens from this? I Don't know like variable. Nothing's gonna like he's not it's really It's really not an I mean this is fucked and it's like, you know sexist or misogynistic to be like the guy Nothing should happen to him. But like I Don't know the head like what what is it the football team is not gonna fire him He's not getting fired. He was coaching the NFL This isn't a fireball fence for an NFL head coach. It doesn't I don't really feel like it his personal life aside That's not my problem. You know, like what how his wife and him decide to handle this I don't really is it really that unethical for a football the football part of the coach part of this It's unethical the other way, isn't it? Yeah, journalist. Yeah, absolutely. No question about that, but I don't think like a football coach What do you think Conner? You break this down for me from the journalistic perspective because I yeah, I don't think the football coach angle Is as as Damning and as much of a breach of what his job is supposed to be As it obviously is going the other way. Yeah, so like I could see her like, you know, put it this way She's her her job might be in jeopardy, obviously, but I don't like variable I don't think anything's gonna really happen as far as like his standing in the NFL if this was a Woman head coach and a male journalist Woman head coach would be fine Male journalist would be right probably screwed right. So I yeah, I don't I don't think it's a Sexist or misogynistic thing to say what you were just alluding to Yeah, no, it's doesn't break it necessarily a code of ethics to be a football coach Journalism. Yeah, this is this is a big deal. This is a huge deal And you're you're a you're a huge proponent of women in sports media. So I imagine this is harder on you than anyone else I imagine you're the one taking this the hardest But there is like, you know, you have the conversation about it's not like sports journalists are reporting on You know, what's going on in Capitol Hill or like the the stuff that really matters in this country. It's it's it's sports it's a very um, and we've had a conversation on this show before many times about How sports journalism like is it real journalism? Is it real journalism at the end of the day? You're just they're you're covering games Yes, so yeah, that that might not be We might be putting too much into like, oh, yeah, this is a bad look for journalism because it is it's sports Because ultimately, yeah, this is all very stupid, but uh, and there are a wave of new sports reporters and media people and journalists who are very much friends with the athletes Yeah friends with the people that they cover which beforehand used to be a complete no-go. So the lines are a little bit more blurred, right? um, but I also acknowledge that it's easy for me to say sports journalism is joke because what I do is a joke You know, and I think like Racini the The niche that she'd carved out carved out for herself is like a scoops person It is a huge deal because now every report you have that your credibility is called into question How did you how did you get that scoop? Who are you protecting? You know all that sort of thing whereas like dipshits like us nobody really cares We could just say we could say whatever I could say I think a j brown is is going to retire from football next week And if I'm wrong, no one really gives a fuck because no one takes me seriously in the first place But that's that's her whole thing, right? Yeah, so that that becomes a big deal. Um, anyway, we can move on talking about something else I want to I want to first talk about Chevy draft season is here, which means everyone suddenly thinks they're gm Uh, which is when you realize some picks just make sense like having a Chevy Silverado Silverado has the power to haul pretty much everything gear grills tailgate setups So whether you're driving to a draft party A road game or towing a boat to the lake you need a truck with strength Reliability and the drive to go the distance the same DNA you'll find in a Chevy Silverado As capable and dependable as your top tier draft picks Silverado shows up and gets the job done It won't flinch when the pressure is on and doesn't take plays off when it comes to trucks Make Chevy Silverado your number one overall pick check out the current offers and build your own Chevy Silverado at chevy.com Could I also say one thing? Go ahead Carter. This is not a rigs tiger woods situation Uh, what do you what do you mean in in the sense that I yeah, like we're gonna we're gonna talk about it We just did we just exactly what i'm saying for 20 minutes. Yeah I didn't want people to think that we were just like an outlier going against the rules or anything like that. Yeah Just woke up in Chicago. Just woke up. We just we just talked about it for correct Correct. I would people think that I'm just I wanted to make sure that people were aware that uh Yeah, the whole rigs and times situation can you pull up the transcript of the rap report video And because I want to test Brandon's theory that we could just use this for any scandal Try to find Blutman's tweet, which is going to be difficult. I imagine because he tweets So often but That could be the last word on this. I want to I want to try this there. All right All right, just woke up in japan another Uh already already another another NFL journalism scandal Uh pretty awful news to wake up to uh first most important thing. It seems like everyone's okay. That's obviously number one Uh, it's just really sad, you know taking off the journalist hat a little bit. Uh, think a lot of us grew up Idolizing this guy that that plays and this is not where we want to see him in the news for the fact that his body's In the fact that he continues to put himself behind journalists and what seems like circumstances like this He seems so good in the super bowl. Just a couple months ago happy and gauge I think we all just want to see mike happy and well. He's provided us with so many incredible moments of memories Yeah, it's just a huge bummer. It's just really really sad That's really all there is to say I wish you would never uh interlock fingers with a journalist on a private balcony But I think dry I think interlocking fingers with diana russini is the one place where he feels like kind of normal and you know In control probably because it's about what's the piece. I mean that picture It was pretty peaceful peaceful But uh, certainly doesn't seem like it's a good decision. You know, he just he said just a couple days ago He was working on trying to get back to the super bowl It all seems so small now what stuff like this happens. It's just horrible. It's just horrible. Just bum That's really all there is to it. I mean, I'm sure more information is going to come out specific It's probably not going to be pretty Just another thing another twist that a lot of us never wanted to see. Yeah, that's kind of all I got to say I mean that does kind of work. Yeah, it does. You got to tweak it a little bit here and there but it does kind of work uh The world of baseball there was a a bench is clearing brawl last night um, the braves and the angels jor-hay solar Uh charge the mound very late. Evo. I need you to break this down for me. I saw the video Yeah, I'm I I saw it after uh Mini golf last night the qualifier. Yeah, what do you know the story behind this? Why I saw the video this morning It might have just been the build-up of the game. Okay. Larry at a homer They got hit in the second inning and then there was kind of an erratic pitch And it's it's An interesting flight because solar was a brave right one world series mvp is a brave so some of his right These are still on the steam I forgot he won world series mvp. Yeah, he was he was awesome in that world series. Um This always created that the cut to the bullpen was cracking me up Go go back. There's already guys. There's guys on the ground Look how far they have to go Freezing right there because what I What I always wonder is like When you're running into to a fight like this the idea I guess you maybe they're they're going in to break it up but My thought is like they're they're going in to back up their teammate and their teammate needs help in the fight Why don't those guys just fight each other? Why why? You know if the two teams are fighting and that's the whole point of this and they're like, oh, shit We're fighting now. We got to go fight the other team. Why are you running there to fight? Why not just like why don't the bullpen people just start fighting fighting in the bull if they cut to the bullpen? And they were brawl in the that would be so fucking sick, right? One of the best things I've ever seen So they like run in and they're all running by each other and then they get up there And then they start pushing and shoving once they get up there But until you get up there, you're not allowed to push and shove Very bizarre They gotta meet at one central spot. I also those guys are in the bullpen. You're they're not paying attention to the game No, they have no idea. They're like on basically the equivalent of like playing flappy bird on their phone That's so funny. The the fight's already done. You have to jog in if you don't jog in you're you know, you're you're not a team player You get called out Yeah, the fights are done by the time they get there Yeah, this took forever that's this is what I was Throws landing the baseball right hook is crazy. Yeah And this was after the initial because When they first showed the fight it was in the midst of a replay They were showing the the tag at second base and then they have to cut out of the replay And then it goes hard cut to just punches being thrown And yeah, usually you see the the lead up to it and everything But I thought that actually made it way cooler of a fight than any other fight I've seen recently Take a way to break your hand I want to be surprised if he broke his one of his fingers on his pitch. Yeah, this is not the most graceful fight, but Where does this rank on all time? The bar for baseball fights is very low because they're usually just uh, hold me back bro off, but Where where does this rank on charging the mound for you? Obviously, uh, no one ryan No one ryan's the big one and uh, ventura. Yeah, robin is number one. No one is number one Uh, I know it wasn't charging the mound, but my mind immediately Or I guess technically it might have been charging that I can't remember now a rod My mind immediately goes to don zimmer and pager martinez. Yeah, that's a rod. That's a rod charging the mound a rod charge the Yeah, and then zimmer also charged with pager. That was the fall out on the mound No, no pager. Oh, pager was not pager. Oh, it was in his jacket. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, ronnie clemens throwing a bat Yeah, clemens throwing the bat back at piass with it Harper harpers was iconic because harper was like kind of rising to the top of sport and he was like the guy Yeah, kind of tripped and then the helmet throw Oh hunter stricklin Yeah, the guy that kicked the guy in the minor leagues. He kicked the catcher. Oh, yeah Super kicked the catcher in the face and then charge. Yeah, he tried to pull that video up. That's awesome. I would like to watch that Baseball fights are funny though because 99 of the people involved in them don't want to be out there No, the bullpen doesn't want to run even the guys coming off the bench don't want to do it But it's just half the roster is something you have to do pictures one. No, but here's How Doosh Minor league fights are like a massive. Oh, this is all you just take on the whole team That's awesome. I think in the minor leagues now if you leave the bench, it's like or if you leave the dugout It's a bit fine. But you guys don't have money for funds Uh The springtime thaw is finally here flowers are blooming days are longer We're saying yes to more plans and finally getting outside running walking just moving again It's the perfect time to upgrade your everyday go-tos with bombas Bombas sports socks are super comfortable and designed with sport specific tech for running cycling yoga hiking You name it I've been trying to get more into running and incline tread when I can't get outside and the weather is not so nice So whatever the case is, I'm truly just blown away by these socks.

That's b o m b a s dot com slash audio code audio at checkout Yeah, what Yeah, what how bad would it be if you were someone that was just very slow to get off the bench Eva you played baseball. What are the rules of baseball feel different than Uh, other like hockey hockey. This doesn't really happen, right? Like two guys start fighting. Hey, you let them sort of yeah You're like, that's their their problem. I'm gonna let them deal with it. Um But you know basketball, it's it's kind of in the middle. It wasn't just this year Duncan Robinson It's just kind of like walking away. He's like, I'm not I'm not dealing with that shit Baseball is the furthest you have to travel to get in on the action because NFL fights like everyone's Together and they you know, I'm saying like this the field is most spread out NFL fights are the dumbest thing in the world because It's like the fights military great armor. The fights are less violent than the sport. Yeah You're you're already Fight, you know the sport itself is the fight. Yeah So what what are we doing fighting? What you're actually like not escalating the situation at all You're bringing the temperature down a little bit. I'll put a blanket across all the sports Fighting in sports doesn't make any sense At all go on baseball fights Don't make sense. Why I mean what what doesn't make sense You're pissed off at the other guy and you just can't control your emotions and you want to but the fact that everybody on the team Has to has to rush that part. Yeah, that part doesn't make doesn't make sense hockey fights Don't make sense. That's just allowed like yeah, you yeah, we're gonna penalize you But we're gonna let you we're gonna let you guys sort it out football as you pointed out doesn't make sense I'd say basketball if there's one league one sport that makes sense for fights basketball basketball is the only pure fighting Yes, basketball is like what you're seeing is very real and these guys hate each other and they're actually are trying to kill each other Hockey is very staged hockey is a little staged baseball is like oh, I want to be a tough guy Baseball everyone's running out there to join the fight, but they're actually just breaking it up The two guys fighting definitely are fighting but the rest is uh Everyone else involved is trying to stop the fight. Mm-hmm basketball it does Get real. Yeah Good point Conner. So I'd say okay. Maybe I I I don't pull the blanket fully up over the pillows. I tuck it in Just a bit under the pillows and that pillow is the NBA It doesn't completely cover all the uh, it's uh, he's saying that the I think he's saying that all the other sports are the pillows that go under the covers But you have no what he's got throw pillows. What what are you talking about? Like you you can make a bed and put a blanket over a bed Where you're you're covering the pillows and all that. No, I think I think every pillow is exposed And when you make the bed isn't well, it depends on wait You make the people make the bed they take like their comforter and put it all the way over all the pillows No, how many how many throw pillows you got on your bed mark? I mean margolis with a woman. Yeah, I think we have like four. Yeah, we have four throw pillows Okay, we have We think about it. So we each have our we each have the pillows we sleep on those are those are not throw pillows Those are sleeping pillows. Yeah, then we each have one throw pillow By the our sleeping pillows Then I think a third one which the third one looks at first glance it looks unnecessary The more you stare at it the more you realize it ties the whole room together That one is very very important And then there's like a one of those like, uh, you know, you ever stay at like a Hotel where they put that like fucking like long skinny one. Yeah, and you're just like what is this for it? We have one of those. Oh, I hate that shit. Yeah, so one of those so my setup is uh Is double double king pillow, which you know, I don't have a king bed is the backdrop Those are just sitting in the back there two sleep pillows and then no throw pillows But I also live by myself.

So okay fingers crossed Okay, I gotta text him Uh massive news in the world of sports last night The utah mammoth unveiled the most badass zamboni That hockey has ever seen they're calling it the zamath. It is a mammoth looking zamboni It is it is pretty much if you haven't seen this it does look exactly like you might think it would but it still is worth seeing It's awesome. Look at this That's so fucking cool Which begs the question why why is this the first time I've ever seen anything like this? Why don't other teams do this? Why is this not? Do do other Do other hockey teams do this and I just know it's not aware of it Why did it take this long for a hockey team to be like? Why don't we make our mascot be the zamboni? Why does every zamboni look the same? They shouldn't I also think that this is you know, they're new team It's it's fun to think of like new ideas of how we could be different and everything And sometimes you could try a little bit too hard and it doesn't work out This is an example where it definitely worked And uh, I love how they did the First of all, this video is awesome. But then they do a full photo shoot for it with the with the lights. Yeah, that's sick It's massive. It's really cool that they repurposed an olympic Zamboni for this too that the kind of like ties together the city and the salmon Uh, the they repurposed the o2. Yeah It doesn't see olympics in body We've talked about this on the show before but zamboni technology just has not changed and Yeah, right like they just perfected that shit and it has not zamboni's haven't gotten smaller They haven't gotten faster They had nothing about them changed. They're perfect They're still just like these massive tanks that go very slow over the ice You have a ride on one. Uh, you have a ride in one. I have not no you Uh, it's on the bucket list. It's got me thinking which I think brandon has brandon when he dropped the puck in mohawk I think he rode on the zamboni too. I'm not kidding. Yeah, I think I remember him taking one of his kids out there. That's fun Uh, I want to know what team would make the most fun novelty zamboni And then you're gonna pull up pull up all the nhl teams Like the vegas golden nights could do like a giant horse. Maybe that one is sick. It's gonna be hard to top that I mean, I do think I do think having like a four-legged animal Suits itself well to the zamboni like the The detroit red wings. What are I mean? You could throw wings on the side of it, but that's not that's not gonna hit the You make it like a race car. Yeah Uh, all right a gritty would be a giant bear would be sick ruins would be awesome sabers would be awesome a buffalo That would just look like the mammoth, huh? Yeah, it'd basically be pat their big pat their face Canadians would be the best. Yeah, they're Canadian man Just like a guy like oldie a guy looks like he's sliding on his chest. Yeah oldie with his legs out either side But it looks like he's sliding face first and it's like got arms out. Yeah That would be cool senators no Lightning maple leaves. No, I guess. Yeah, I didn't realize how many non non-mammal I guess senators are there. I guess I didn't realize the the nicknames of the hockey teams are Not a lot of animals. I guess what I'm trying to get at Saber-tooth tiger not a lot of animals Like avalanche. What is that stars wild as yeah, they have like a what what what is the what is that ahead of? It's a bear, I assume They have that but like their name just suggests an idea. You're just it's just their name is an adjective What if the cavalry flames had a It was a giant flame that cooled the ice A giant flame. Yeah, that's pretty funny. Yeah, you're re-icing with a giant flame. Yeah Was it that's what is around he does right? Yeah, it's a little bit Isn't he I thought it pours more water on it. I don't know and then it freezes that water We don't we've looked this up like times and we don't remember we just never remember I uh I have a confession I'm just now realizing that the minnesota wild logo is an animal I never saw what what did you think it was? I just thought it was trees and the sun I did not see that it was a there's no way an animal look. Is that a bear's head? Is that like a beaver head? What is that often interpreted as a as a bear or a wild cat? It is what it says online. Yeah I never saw that before in my life Oh, there's the bear head and then then it was it was modified a little bit I you can't You don't think you don't see bears and think of the minnesota wild so No, I don't I don't know what they would do to their zamboni. I don't think I don't think bear would be the right move The team's official stance is that it is a wild animal Just a wild animal I think to me it looked like a twister almost it looked like a Yeah, I can see that I guess like a tornado with the the minnesota Forest in there this movement here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I always thought it was something like that setting sun I'll be honest as you stare at the logo more. It doesn't look wild at all. It looks very peaceful It's just a setting sun some beautiful trees a nice calm river Perfect place to enter lock hand Star in the sky That's that's very peaceful. Ebo.

Mm-hmm Blutman says he is uh Exclusively locked in on frankie fleetwood number one story the masters. He said they let the kids uh shoot some of the shots as well, right? That's fun Frankie frankie fleetwood apparently has a sound bite last year where He just did not come close at all to to making it and uh, he was interviewed and he goes I was trying me hottest And that's what blutman just kept saying during the break. I'm waiting for a little today. Yeah How old is frankie fleetwood? Well, I've been doing my hardest to get it over the green I've been practicing as hard as I can Just not reaching it this year, but I'm just trying the hardest That is that is last year. Yes, so he's one year older all eyes are on him. Can he reach the green? Yes That's what blutman is saying. Yeah biggest story of the master. That's also straight like nurture where it's like He was just basically being his dad there. Yeah, he's seen his dad do so many tv interviews where he's like, I'm good I know exactly how to make my father. Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of awesome. That is awesome. Should we do this in more support? I've been watching you You say should we give like your bucko baseball player son a chance at the play? Yeah, like the thursday before the super bowl have Have all the sons and you know daughters of the the guys playing this play in a game Go out on the super bowl field Play a little game the the dads can coach It is kind of funny that like this is the biggest This is the biggest uh, uh, I don't know why I was at soccer biggest golf match of the of the year And the day before it starts. It's like the most lighthearted fun family thing That is unique. That doesn't happen in other sports You might if you're going to do this this you do it like the monday after the masters After you have your intense moment Everyone takes a deep breath after that and you say, okay, now let's let our hair down and have some fun You let the opposite you let the kids run the bases after the game after the game right before the game Right, but they do it here and they have a nice time You know I got we got to get down to the masters, man I would love it. I if any if you know anybody at the company that gets tickets. Yeah, we've only had a plug Focus up that would be awesome I don't know if I would like being there and them taking your phone away Oh You're you're too addicted to your phone to go. No, it's not like I'd be scrolling through social media or anything like that But I would like to Like, you know, take a picture for for the scrapbooks or You got a camera get a camera Oh, they like okay. Yeah, then in that case Yeah, I need to get I want to go to see if it's better than other golf experiences because I um I don't know if I like going to golf golf in person is I don't know if I like golf in person But the masters feels like it would be the best to go in person. I've done golf in person three times Yeah, which one and one time was we tiger woods on his his climb back up We got to see him and follow him and that was kind of cool, but Yeah, like it's not unless you like a lot of times you station at a hole You station at like a like a par three You you sit by the green maybe then so you can see the whole the whole hole Like that would be cool. But yeah, if you if you're by the t-box They they hit the t-shot half the time you can't see it because they're hitting it so fast and so far That you you realize you you thought you could track a golf ball, but you can track your own golf ball. You can't track The pros Uh, they need the trail in person somehow But then even then you can't so you don't see where it ends up and it just fucking they just smoke the shit You're like, I think that was a good shot. I don't know and then they walk away and you're like, all right I guess I'll wait for the next group to come tee off. Yeah, also if you don't station I I I went to see Rockin Morgan Morgan class yet TPC Potomac Yeah, TPC Potomac and I think I walked a half marathon that day. Yeah, it's a lot of walking a lot of walking It's hot I don't regret going when I go but I also I'm not dying to go to another golf event But the masters I'd agree the masters does feel like the one that you would want to go to because it does feel like It has the most stuff outside of just the golf Yeah, go check out the merch you check out the concession stand I guess it's just two things then really as I think about it. It's those two things concession stand I think that I don't I'm trying to find it. Did did Brandon go at Darren Rovel? Did he? So somebody I think it was Rovel somebody said that uh, the ice cream sandwiches at the masters aren't anywhere near as good as their average I think he said it wasn't a top 25 ice cream sandwich that he had ever had And Brandon said you're crazy I have seen people dunking on the food a lot this week really like it's overrated It's not as good as uh, but but part of the food Appeal is that it's very cheap, right? Yeah, isn't that Part of the equation is it's like a dollar fifty for one of those sandwiches shit like that Yeah, not not a top 25 ice cream sandwich in the country But those with masters press passes can't say that That's what he said And then Brandon responded and said here's the menu. Fuck. Do they do they tweak the menu year to year? It's the same shit every year. They add do they add sometimes they'll add or drop Like I think there's a candy bar that they added this year. Okay But I think the mainstays Stay they don't do They don't do crazy shit like uh baseball teams will do either. Is that like do they they don't do like uh Like here's a somewhere. There's a golf like a golf club full of beer You know your beer glasses You know like a I don't know I'm not very I think that I think they're trying to think of golf concession items It's freaky as they get it's like the cocktails and stuff But I don't think they have any any novelty items like that per se. Maybe I'm wrong. I never been Take a sand trap right fill it with nachos How would you how would you do that connor? I can't think of anything I'll open it up to the entire room. How would you if you had to baseball the fi? I Masters concessions. What are you doing? I would uh, how do you make a hot dog? I think what you were saying is along the right path of like a sand trap and related item where you're eating like I think you put a high base on it. So it looks like it's azaleas. Maybe. Oh, yeah What's the my biscus on your on your hot dog? What's the whole at the masters? Amen corner 12 or 13 with the bridge the bridge. Yeah, yeah incorporate the bridge somehow you get a regular soda cup Put a bridge over the top And then fill the rest of it like uh, like it's the water except it might just be a pepsi What if it was just like a golf bag? Like a masters golf bag it's mozzarella sticks, but it's shaped like a golf or it's fries But it's shaped like like clubs and you pull them out. There's two meatballs for golf balls. That's pretty good and then meatballs on a tee And the tea is ice cream more meatballs Meatball Meatball's more just more meatballs Use your make your time to your ten dollar order. All right, zoom in a little bit. I can't enhance please Jarvis I might need to go to the dollar ten dollars All right Hey guys, it's reand friend if you're looking for a cola that delivers pepsi prebiotic cola is it because nothing beats that great pepsi taste It's delicious. It has three grams of prebiotic fiber five grams of sugar Just 30 calories and no artificial sweeteners It honestly tastes like pepsi with so much more to love tried it loved it pepsi prebiotic cola You should pick some up if you haven't already It's the perfect drink when you are ready to just relax Sit on the couch watch a movie and enjoy a delicious pepsi prebiotic cola pork barbecue chicken south So i've seen people chirping the pimento cheese basically saying that it is a All right, i'm going Oh, that's tough. Okay. I'm going I'm going park pork barbecue. Yep breakfast sandwich, but not okay. Well, no no no time out time out. Come back come back back pork barbecue Maybe chicken biscuit I think I think fresh fruit get it out of here blueberry muffin get it out of here I i'm going I gotta spend three dollars on breakfast. I gotta go three dollars on breakfast. Um The pimento cheese, whatever you're saying evo people were saying that it's just kind of like a white bread and She's spread and it's like not really i'm down with that. I think that's Aesthetically, yeah, it's aesthetically not i'm down with that as good as you think I mean you have to if you go there you have to try it, but I can't imagine that you're like This is the best thing i've ever had correct or else it wouldn't be a dollar fifty Uh, I think you start with the the breakfast sandwich because it's gonna be a long day. You're gonna be walking a lot Okay, scroll down to be healthy just scroll down to the drinks. I mean honestly Well, who did these prices because you could just get You could just do breakfast sandwich pork barbecue Caramel popcorn And an iced tea that's that's a hell of a meal and that's ten dollars is not yeah Well, that's easy then it's basically like if you want to drink then It's basically like do you want great food or do you want alcohol? That's basically what this question is. Would you rather have the alcohol at the masters or would you rather have the best food? Give me the food You know, what's overrated and uh I don't I don't want to be that guy but be that guy. I'm gonna whisper it I found I found and I only went once it was a different time in my life Maybe I need to go back. Maybe I need to revisit. Maybe my palate has changed I've I've been to one Kentucky Derby the mint julep just tasted like shit. The mint julep was just like what's the point of this? mint julep was Was just not good and and I I don't think I would have had a problem with it if I didn't pay like 27 dollars for one of them It was like a double whammy of like Like if it was if it was the pimento cheese thing where they're selling these mint juleps at the at the Kentucky Derby and they're five bucks Then who cares, you know, like I tried it. Don't like it. I'm out five bucks But I went right after I was in college. I didn't have a ton of money. I was like I have to try a mint julep uh I paid like just an insane amount of money for one And it it it was it just tasted like shit. But again, you know, maybe I was just on like a Maybe I was just like a beer guy back then, you know, and I didn't have the palate for For an advanced cocktail like the mint julep, but I found the mint julep very underwhelming Rovel also said that he ranked his top three most overrated things most overrated food beverage items at sporting events Number one was I'll back him up on that the mint julep. I was like this is you people can't seriously be drinking this all the time This is like a thing that like someone came up with 200 years ago at the first derby And then it's just become a tradition. But like nobody actually Nobody actually in Kentucky is reaching for the mint julep over all the other drinks. Are you a bloody Mary guy? I Generally know I'd be more of a mimosa guy at a at a brunch situation. Yeah It's an acquired taste. That's one of the one of those acquired tastes It is I do find it if you need a little people say the hair of the dog But it's like if you wake up in the morning and you can't And you're hungover and you can't stomach food Like you can't you like I can't I don't have the stomach to eat the food that's in front of me But I need sustenance, right? That's when you go with the bloody Mary bloody Mary. I think uh, bloody Mary's have too much variance for me too Yeah, get bad ones and get good ones a lot of horseradish Like I I'm not sure I've ever really had like a bad mimosa even like the cheapest champagne and the cheapest orange juice is still You gotta get the ratio right but it is one of the so that's why like when I'm if I'm going out to breakfast And I want a little hair of the dog I just I do mimosa because even a strong mimosa is like it's not one of the things where like they pour too strong or be like Oh This is this is too much. It's just it'll just basically be like sparkling wine. So Not bad I'm seco some restaurants be getting too fucking cute with the bloody Mary a kutcher mall You order a bloody Mary and there's like a fucking whole chicken in it and a piece of pizza like I'm out on it $50 a drink. Yeah yeah Food that's like looks too decorative and like impossibly is is not my wheelhouse like when you see those viral hamburgers that are like They put everything on or it's like a milkshake with milkshakes. They'd be doing it with milkshake It's like this milkshake has six Dozen mini donuts and also a cake a slice of cake on top. It's like who would want that ball just run the ball Yeah, what are we doing just mix it in? Yeah Should that be our next thing? I know we already conquered the hot tub and everything should we do a boozy brunch with the boys? I would love that. You know, I love a boozy brunch. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy Was that a hundred dollars? I Know I don't want no. Yeah, I want you order bloody Mary. They bring that that's crazy start there I have a I have another pink crab legs. I have another mimosa take I I like more orange juice than most places put in their mimosas I don't you're not actually doing me a favor by putting more champagne in it I think I want a little more oj. That might be an old man take. It might be an old man take Yeah, because it's like the the idea of like, you know, like you get one of the cool waitresses That's like you order most I went ahead and hooked you up. I filled that thing all the way to the top and I just put like a few Drops of orange juice in and I'm like, I don't want that. I would have ordered champagne if I wanted that I could have just ordered a glass of champagne. I wanted champagne with the oj Give me some oj I'm an oj guy. Yeah, I'm a big oj. TJ and I went to a place one time that had uh, I just wanted to say that I'd never seen before where they actually just give you just like uh A bottle and they're like make your own. I've never had that happen. That was nice. Yeah, he also gave us way too much Yeah, we just be like, oh, here's another bottle. It was just unlimited kept coming with more bottles Yeah, and then the brunch ended and he brought out a bottle to go. Yeah, usually they're pretty stingy I was fucking blacked out at 1 p.m. Connor. You like a boozy brunch fucking I go crazy for it Well, that's the that's the appeal of uh, west coast sports. That's when when you no, no You're gonna do this. I knew you're gonna do this. I knew you're gonna do this I knew you're gonna do this as soon as I brought it up But you're all over like you can't be kicking it off football games at 10 a.m. Dude boozy brunch plus football Get one taste of it connor and report back to me.

Yes, it's the whole point of the boozy brunch I don't think that's the point at all So if there's champagne involved if there's legitimate like Stuff that I could get really sauced off of I'm distracted from the game And I'm not watching it the boozy brunch is that you leave it and it has snuck up on you that you're a little But you're buzzed.

Oh, that's pretty good sharks sharks is the best Sharks is the best. Yes. Yeah Flares should be like a plane or that's what I was saying Jets now that my The jets is conceptually a cool idea, but I don't know if it's functional with the wings and if it ever crashes Yeah Oh the claw white. Okay. There we go. I like that one. All right. Um, why is there a play? Why why wouldn't they just make the whole thing a bare body? Why just do bare head? Why is the player driving it? Well, why is a player driving the captain of the Bruins? Always drives the Drive, can we go back to the griddy just for a second, please? Yeah They should do that. What do you think about the zameth? The zameth is unbelievable. It's incredible. Um The tusks that you could drink your soda in Utah out of they're doing tusk cups Tusk cups and the sabers are doing beer sabers It's a great time to be a hockey fan that likes to drink things out of Novelty objects. Yes What could be next we were we were talking about ideas for the masters novelty concession items Does anything come to mind blub and all we could think about was all we could come up with is like the bridge But how are we how are we using the bridge pull up the can you get a picture of that bridge? What's that bridge called? The bridge at at Augusta bridge It has a name bridge It's called bridge bridge the big gust of bridge. Yeah I will Wait, you're talking about like hogan bridge. Yeah, the whole hogan bridge the bridge You're talking about like making that into a cup. Yeah, pull it like look. Let's see what we can do with it You could do like a hot dog Hold it you oh, fuck. Yeah, you can't really do anything because the I'm thinking like if you turned it sideways you could have the three little holes be Like where you put your sauces for something or your But you don't if you turn it sideways and it's not the bridge you have to present it as That like you could do like a hot dog inside the bridge. Maybe what if it was three hot dogs? Because then your cross hot dog cross section would look it's three hot dogs, but the whole thing is cut in half It's like uh The the yes, it's three hot dogs. Yeah, but you have to serve it like bridge side up But you can like pop the hot dogs out from So you can't really put condiments on the hot dogs because the top of the hot dog is getting pressed up against the bottom Upside down situation. Yeah, so you'd have to serve it upside down, but then at that point why even do it It's in a trough of gravy tough Sandwich pimento cheese barbecue sandwich and then the eggs out sandwich for the three holes there Yeah, they're at the bottom and then you kind of bridge In with some sort of garnish and then you put some some basil or whatever green on top of it. Okay That's that's That's the bridge. Okay. You see what i'm saying. Yeah Well, we'll have to work on this. Hmm. Or you could yeah, you could do something with the bunkers. I'm sure Uh, blubbing you're you're a college sports guy. Yeah, you know college sports better than anybody. Um Hey, this is pft from part of my take a terrible call by the refs a back breaking interception in the red zone Brutal clock management at the end of the half when the season has you ready to snap Don't break snap into a slim gym instead Slim gym is not just a meat stick. It's the og slim. Gym is the bold spicy snack that snaps back No fumbles no bad calls Just bold flavor that can never be sidelined. So if your team has you feeling like you're ready to snap Call a time out and snap into a slim gym So the the portal and college basketball is open. Is it open in football as well? Do the portals are they aligned? I don't think so football's closed Okay, so the college basketball portal is is popping off and uh, I need you to explain something to me. Mm-hmm When guys enter the portal with a do not contact tag Second the portal opens and then immediately commit to a place How is that not just total the horseshit? Oh because they're going to a dream school How was that I always wanted to go? I was that not because it's not tampering because they clearly You know three four months into season had the thought hey I might be at Iowa state right now and I might be averaging three and a half per game, but I'm from Gainesville. I'm from Florida. I love that area and If I want to go to Georgia Southern, I could go play at Georgia Southern I've always wanted to play at Georgia Southern Okay, yeah, so don't contact me when I want to go play for my dream school. Yeah, you see a A woman's basketball player averaging like 0.6 points per game entered with a do not contact Well, it's such a joke. Maybe she just wants to get out of basketball. She's like, please don't try to I really don't want to play. I want to go to Harvard. I want to I really just don't want to play basketball And if someone offers me I'm gonna have to play so Please She was going the free Lutheran How are they doing by the way? I mean, how many wins they end up with huge this is a huge portal off How many wins did they end up with there's a guy to bar in indy with a free Lutheran shirt on yeah, Sean Oh, really? Yeah, just we cared so much about the big thing in a season never checked to see how it finished Once they got one way they got their win. That's all we wanted I actually connected with that guy at the pump So if he was a free Lutheran bible college coach, I dropped the ball I mean not that we don't care about them, but we were nurturing them in our nest Hmm We just wanted them to get one win and once they demonstrate that they can fly on their own We're like go go be great for you and do not contact me again. Please do not contact They got a third win. Oh do not count 317 this year. I love the idea of a do not contact list It's it's not I love I mean, I love the idea of that for myself of just Just like I I guess do not disturb on your phone is supposed to be that but I I don't know. I like doing that It's like the black mirror episode where you can block people in real life That would be sick. Yeah They just turned into a mute. How did that one? I didn't see that. How did that? I believe that some guy Isn't black crime and then and then is blocked by the entire world so he can't talk to anyone or see them or Yeah, yeah, isn't isn't the point of black mirror like I've only seen a couple episodes But if I remember right, it's like this technology seems cool. But by the end you're like, yeah, I should be horrified. Yeah Because that one seems cool. Yeah Can you do I want to go ahead and fall into the trap and say being able to block people in real life seems cool. Yeah There's there's no no downside to that at all I'm pretty devastated today Because um, kate and mingo penn states best player is entering the transfer portal. Yeah, and the whole team is just collapsing No, it's tough. And we have Tennessee has no players woman. Oh, oh, yeah Tennessee has no like it A lot of teams have no play uh, ios tian 1.5. Oh 1.5 Do not contact that she ever's 1.5 Is she like the daughter of a coach or something though? Yeah, I don't know that's good research. Ebo. Who would be your top three on do not contact list At barstool. No, just anything in the world. Do not come back. Yep. If I could tell people to not contact me Well, I mean like obviously solicitation. I don't want the spam calls um Do not contact me. Do not contact me I don't want to answer. I don't want to hurt anybody's fair. I have another hurt anybody's feelings. I have another thought that Early like 6 58 a.m. Today this one sprung up The worst places to flirt. Oh Worst places we're going over this with connor toll booth has to be in the top three Toll booth if you're at a toll booth It's flirting. Yeah Go on well this story goes Ebo and I were driving back from indianapolis. He was taking a nap in the passenger seat For whatever reason my my easy pass wasn't working. I had to stop at the toll booth And there was one toll booth that was not working properly So I had to talk to the lady over the intercom and woke ebo up and then blutman was like, oh, were you trying to flirt? You were risen or up. No, I was not Other people said there was a bad reason. They're only it was me and ebo in the car and he was asleep for Okay, if mike verable and diana russini were the toll were spotted inside of a toll booth interlocking hands It's a different story, right? Because that's just not a romantic place. No, it's impossible to flirt the two of the three I have right now Toll booth is on the top three for sure and delivery room. I think is a really bad place to flirt So I'm gonna I'm gonna take your because I like this hypothetical But also I you know, we were talking about the the story of the day at the start of the show I do want to put them together And I want to figure out the best place that they could have been spotted We've been like, oh, we're they're doing the pictures of the exact same but instead of So don't arizona in a sunset a beautiful landscape Everyone sees the picture and they're like, that's not romantic at all. That can't be romantic Where should they where should they have gone? Let's do on that. What do you got con? Uh, it's a pretty good one. I really is Why would they be at a toll booth Dancing with the stars even then If they were all dancing with the stars, oh, oh studio audience of a reality tv show okay probably the Nj tranted stop at princeton I'd say that's that's probably up there. No because then shout out princeton That feels like motion like you're going they're going out to do something at princeton or at princeton junction I'd go junction. Okay. That's a real train stop the stop at princeton's a dinky stop shortest commuter rail line in the united states There you go. Like the post office They're lying at the post office No, that's a that's a that's a family activity. Uh, do you know much stamps are going for these days, by the way How much are you just by forever stamps? Yeah, how much you stamp it? Yeah, does the chat how much are they going for?

Yeah, Cody's eating waffles and diana russini and mike variable are just interlocking hands behind him That's just not a romantic place. No, that's not a romantic place. That's just a coincidence. That's like a yeah Blind and deaf cooking stream blinded. Yeah Yeah, I mean If this everything's the same and and variable russini are behind kody's shoulder holding hands like I wouldn't think anything I'll just be like, yeah, it's just I crazy crazy things happen when you're getting tired and feathered, you know You know, kody was actually mad at mincey or mincey was actually mad at kody yesterday Why kody's holding the get out of here and mincey was hurt get out of where the waffle stream Cody told mincey mincey came to help out the waffle stream and kody said I I would rather be alone than mincey mincey took mincey took that personally We tried to get boba and doigt was good for um, he got mad or someone got mad Think kody at tate and I because we left Because he threw up. Yeah, he got matt connor fairy mad at me What? I went in there because he was walking around the office and he was like, you know getting people on the stream He's like asking questions and he was just dodging the waffles and I was like dude like just eat the waffles It's gonna take a long time put the waffles on tell me bro. Yeah, and he was like, what are you doing right now? Like are you trying to like, you know, like insult me or like no, I'm trying to like coach you what like I've been through this before He walked up to me and he was like Titus. I got I got a question So if I were to take 15 waffles and blend them and I just immediately Just walked away. Yeah, I was like, I was like just eat the fucking waffle. Yeah, no, but he did eat him He did right it to him. Yeah, cry it to him because this this wasn't about content This is about a debt being owed just eat the waffles and uh, and he did it and he Tartan feathered himself by syruping and feathered himself, which is fine But it went great. I don't I actually expect him to pour hot tar on his body. No Uh, he he didn't do syrups shoes though. He didn't do the syrups shoes, which Could be a bad omen because we do have an hl playoffs and mba playoffs coming up. Do we have our hl teams? Yes Who do I have what I don't remember. What's the hl bet? We took a pancakes. It's pancakes. Yeah, aren't you this year? You're gonna. Yeah, we did I'm after what you might have stepped in It's so fun Is it is it fun? The what the waffles through the waffles now pancakes. No, it's pure torture. So it's all stupid. It's not even good content It's not good content. It's not fun. It's not funny. Should we change it then? Like next year for are we gonna do 40 waffles college basketball again or I don't even think brandon cares if we stop doing it I don't think it's brandon's well I mean, there's zero chance brandon would do it if it was his team that got selected Yeah, brandon wouldn't do it zero chance. He would do it. All right. Let's make that's honestly, kody I know was like in his head about how we weren't supporting the waffle stream. Whatever. Would however you're supposed to do that um and my my response to that was and and is again now that uh He didn't he didn't do the tartan feather thing last year. So I just assumed Like for him eating the waffle him eating the waffles for me was like It's you all with that just do it or I don't trust that you're gonna do it. I didn't really I don't know So it's just you figure that out and that's kind of unfortunately the precedent we've said on the show. Yeah brandon lost 5500 and then I We split the tab Yeah, then the bill comes and he's like, uh, you're gonna help me pick this up, right? I was like, I guess, you know, I guess that's what the show is. Yeah, I guess we just don't do what we're What we're supposed to do the ways of those bets might be out of the equation soon enough, but nonetheless I'll be taking cam young for my tub of pimento cheese master's pick That he will not win the master. He will not win the I will take tiger woods Come on man. I would like to take tiger woods for that.

Oh, I don't know what that means But more to go to the sabers We gotta eat poutine I think that we decided I think what we decided for this is like we need to stop punishing ourselves and reward ourselves with something We oh So it's gonna work out. I'm just gonna eat poutine on the show. Yeah, so you have poutine You know, so you have the sabers brendan has the wild who are in Connor's a kraken who look like they have fallen off hard. They are out tj has the mammoth who are on the bubble. It looks like Why the sabers the sabers aren't winning the cup I have the canade sabers aren't gonna win. Have you already 25th? We did this we're in Right bloomin. Liam has the hurricane and Cody is oh well. I I was under the impression. It was pancakes I would have taken someone that could win I think we all agree once the playoff start. It's gonna be the usual suspects Oh the panthers the the oilers You know, yeah, the pri pri panthers oiler stanley cup again Uh, the canadians the maple leafs are sure to have another first round accent Yeah, I've seen the probably may police probably losing games sabers aren't aren't winning the cup. No, no That's the fact and the thrashers are making a quiet push It's back to back to worst seaman Second worst seaman their conference like the craziest fall off ever or is that just like how any show works with like contracts and I mean theirs was kind of just injuries and being up battered and bruised three years in a row making it to the cup They still have the best coach in national hockey league and just kind of end up being a A bit of a throwaway season They had some really bad injuries bark off hurt early was terrible I'm also looking at some other information here. Uh, tight is based off What we know about the show What place would you say the black hawks are in? I would say the black hawks uh were as of three weeks ago Still in contention for a playoff spot But it has that that that opportunity has has faded They have uh fallen off a little bit and uh, they're gonna end up They've now because we're almost done with the hockey season regular season, right? They've now been mathematically eliminated from the playoff. So they were mathematically eliminated like three days ago. That's what I would guess You're close They are mathematically eliminated. They're mathematically eliminated. You got that right. Uh, they have the second fewest points in the end show Behind only the canucks Wow, they have 70 points like 10 shots on goal. Brandon won't shut the hell up about how fun and exciting they are Yeah, they're just not good. There's no other fun or exciting teams second worst goal difference. Unfortunately Wait, the Panthers are actually bad. Yeah, that wasn't a joke You can't you can't slide that past me That what you mean? Well, when I said the usual suspects Yeah, I thought you were joking. Why would I joke about that's why I said the mate beliefs first round Exit are the maple leaves good? They're really bad. They're bad. They're bad. Yeah, can I get an hl standings? They might shock you wait. Can you guess the seven teams eliminated from the playoff so far? You know two, you know, three those two the panther out of Injuries set jones to choc bark off That you know, you know three of the teams eliminated. There's the others you have chicago. You have florida. You have forano You need four more I mean, you should get one of these for sure should get one for sure Bad hockey teams marash is going to the city in a week That's because of everything. That's not a great hand. Yeah, that would be the vegas knights unless marash is Taking a trip up to like minneapolis or something that I don't know about nope. Vegas is not eliminated. Nope Vegas is still in it. Vegas is tied for the lead in the pacific Should we call it marash? See where he's going next week. Yeah, um I don't know who's bad. Who's bad. I would I know this? How could you possibly know this saddle dome call marash calgary The calgary flames you're gonna see the thing You you you haven't seen it yet the picture that pops up when you call marash. No, I don't get it. Oh Is I think they're reporting a new untold story right now. No, they're done with that. I saw terany 10 minutes ago Uh, kraken the kraken are bad They're bad, but they're not yet eliminated. Uh the The ottawa senator's no All right, I don't like this game. I have no marash is marash is going to vancouver How would I know that? I don't know. Have you talked? I thought why is he going to vancouver drive? I don't know. What to drive To drive to conquer. He's going to vancouver to drive or he's driving to vancouver. He's going to vancouver to drive to redeem himself and conquer Oh, I see He's pretty much playing risk, but Do they drive on the wrong or the other side? No, but it's like a little confidence. We was like, yeah, I drove successfully internationally, but I don't think the international part was the the part that tripped him up. I think it was the Left side of the road that tripped him up Huh, okay British are funny All right, let's uh speaking of international you want to do a soccer rid. Yeah, so soccer we can get out of here Kate hortons done for the year you both. Yeah. Yeah tough That's tough. You can never have too much pitching, man. I don't understand why these leagues don't turn injuries off It's so easy to do just go to settings Toggle the injuries off I do wonder if like I don't understand why they don't do it We've been maximizing the human body so much the last like couple years and that's maybe We're pushing into its limits like in in the in basketball. We're having them run more than ever baseball We're having throw harder than ever. Yeah, is it sustainable or should we? Dial it back a little bit and maybe instead of everything being a 10 we should do it at like an eight Yeah, eight eight level of effort What about what about a what about something where we all just kind of agree to what if you could develop a technology Where you erase all of our memories of sports And you just do a hard reset and we go back to like Like part of the problem is We've seen so much cool shit like on a basketball court that you You want the the limits to continue to be pushed But what if we could just like reset everything and then go back to a time where like bob koozie's the most electric thing You've ever seen You know what I mean? So then we don't demand so much from our athletes Chris Russo would love that and we just we do like a hard reset. So the the athletes The athletes don't have to train as hard Because there's not an expectation as fans for the for us to be wild. Yeah, you know We're just blown away if you can make like three jump shots in a row. We're just like, oh my god How are they doing this and imagine once we get back to the Harlem Globetrotters? Yeah, how awesome that's going to be just resets like uh like uh Like the asteroid wiping out the dinosaurs and you restart all of life or whatever the hell happened back then I wasn't around. I didn't see what that's Brandon when he gets back uh We do that with like our our knowledge of what the human body is capable of on an athletic field We just do a hard reset. I don't know some some for science to work on work on that and uh A novelty concession item at at Augusta. Well, those are the two things. I think our brightest minds before we get to the grid I'll leave you with this on this day April 8th 1965 Will chamberlain had 55 in eight The more you know well played how about that 55 55 at eight, huh 25 women in a day is crazy gritty.
