What do you want to talk about, Brandon? I'm going to read, because we got the college basketball final for. I don't know if you're aware of it. It's in Indianapolis this weekend. College basketball, of course. You like it. You enjoy it. I'm going to go back to UConn, Illinois, and Michigan, and that other team. So we have, I'm just going to read something to you. This is Luca Donchich's game log since March 6th. Okay. Okay. These are how many points he scored in every single game since March 6th. 44. Make sure that's not minutes. It's not. 44. 35. 31. 51. 30. 33. 32. 43. 41. 42. It's pretty good. Just wanted everybody to know as we go into college basketball that Luca Donchich is doing something that we have rarely ever seen. And the reason I tell that to you, Mark, is. Luca said he would have gone to Arizona, I think, is what the prevailing thought is. The reason I tell that to you is, as we spend 35 seconds on the NBA before we get into college basketball, we are watching history unfold as Luca Donchich, uh, goes into college basketball. Uh, grabs the Lakers and pushes them into what I think they're all, they're up to number three in the Western Conference right now. All for Shay to win MVP because he gets 38,000. Yeah. That's going to happen. Oh, so you're, you're coming, you're coming around the. With what? With the SGA. Oh, I've, I've, I've always. Oh, really? I've always. You just let me fall on the. Correct. The way I see it is why get the internet mad at me when it could just as easy to be mad at Mark. Why get the internet mad at me. Right. When they could just as easily be mad at Connor or Ebo. Why be the whole time you were like, I also don't like that grenade, but one of us has to fall off. Yes. Look at that grenade over there. And I, and, and listen, you, you probably didn't notice as you were diving on the grenade. I did have my hand on your shoulder pushing you onto the grenade. Anyway, uh, do you have a, uh, do you have a lean on this final four yet? Do you have a, do you have a, do you have a yearning for, do you have a, uh, do you have a touch for it? Do you have a, do you have a, do you have a feel for if we're going to have an all time classic? Do you think one team is going to take this thing over? Cause the more I look at it, the more I fear, and I'm just saying, we're just talking our fears out loud. I fear Michigan grabbing this final four by the, Yeah, but you do this all the time. I do. You're, you're so influenced by this company, by Dave, by the idea that like games are dictated by the internet or by like people you don't like or something. Um, now Michigan very well, maybe the national champion, but it's not because you're employed by Dave Portnoy and you want to see him not be happy. It's not just that. You're doing this going into the Superbowl. You're like, I just, I don't know the Patriots. The Seahawks were way better. And I told you, I know, but why are you scared? But I'm scared of, I'm not scared of anything. I'm not scared. I'll say this, Michigan of course could win the national jail. Of course. Of course. Sure. Sure. I think they're the favorite over Arizona, which I think technically they are now. They don't do pick-ups anymore. Did they ever do pick-ups in college basketball? I don't know. That's, that's a college football. That was always a college football thing. It's a football podcast. Sure. But the, the idea of a pick-up and a gambling line is that, is that just not a thing in college basketball? Cause I feel like it opened at one and a half. I'm asking seriously, I don't know how this stuff works. It opened at one and a half Arizona and then it flipped the one and a half Michigan. And I thought there were a few steps along the way. Yeah. But anyway, the point is they're, they're, they're slightly favorite. They're, they're, they're, they're favored over Arizona. Then they're going to be favored by a little bit more over whoever wins the other side. So all this is fair Brandon. I'm just saying, I feel like your point of view is less that like, I really like this Michigan team and it's more of like Dave always gets what he wants. Yeah. And I don't like that. And you got to snap out, snap out of that. I don't, snap out of that. All right. Snap out of it. Speaking of snapping out of things, okay. And speaking of this company, absolutely warping the way you see the world. And I am guilty of that. Cause I woke up in Japan the other day, another tiger was that's all the whatever. This Rico situation in Tito borough airport right now, there, it's very likely in fact, it's 90, it's probably 99% likely that he showed up for his private jet that he won in a bet and mechanical issues or weather or whatever it is is keeping him on the ground. Is there a 1% chance that Dan Katz and Dave Portnoy are pulling strings behind the behind the. Higher than 1% right? You think it's higher? You think there's, you think it's possible that somewhere Dave Portnoy is doing this with the entire basically airplane grid in the country really like he's, he's, he's looking down from wherever he is and he's saying, huh, I got you. Yeah. I will say Tata's very happy about this and Tata's inconvenienced as well. Now he's not an inconvenience to the extent of Rico because if Rico doesn't make it to Indy in time for the pump party, then what's the point of any of this? Yeah. Right? Yeah. But you would imagine that the other people that were told this flight that you showed up for the whole point of flying privately is that you can kind of show up just to jump on the plane and be gone. Right? Sure. Sure. And now they're stuck at an airport despite flying privately that defeats the purpose of the private flight. And yet Tata's giddy, but then also Tata, Tata's a content man at his core. So I think he understands how funny this is from the Rico perspective. Rico's on the phone with that jets. He just said it could be two to three hours. I asked Fordham's head coach for a quote and he said, I'm going to fire my assistant coach for getting me into this. There's the, I think Tata's just seeing clicks now that I think about it. There's the other element. Rico has a private jet that he won fairly and squarely in a bet from Rapoli, who I only know is Rapoli. Everybody apparently has best friends with a man. He won this private jet to go to Indianapolis and it was thought he was going to fill it. He's got Tate on there. He's got Greer on there. Maybe he's going to take all the barstool people that have to go out there. He's got a couple sales people on there. Mokahi. He also, of course, you can't go to Indy without the Fordham head coach and assistant coach and you absolutely can't go anywhere without Penn State's director of NIL. Yep. How did that happen? No idea. Yep. Of course. But you don't leave Tita Burr without Penn State's director of NIL. Shout out to Morgan. Oh. Look at this group. Fordham's head coach to Fordham's assistant coach. Who's that? The Penn State. I think that's Michael Greer. Oh, that's Greer. Okay. His face is shadow. Is that the only shirt he's going to wear this week? Just nine. Find out when he's on mostly sports tomorrow morning. I didn't agree to that. General manager of Penn State's NIL. There's Nick and Sammy from the sales team. Okay. Of course. What a crew. There's Fordham's head coach and assistant coach. Yeah. There it is. Very interesting that he invited Fordham's assistant and head coach. But not preeminent Fordham. And Yukon fan. Jack Mack. Jack Mack. I think he may have invited him. There might have been some communication issues. Wow. Here we go. Are they? Uh-oh. Oh, they're getting on. Okay. So it looks like you're fine. Wow. All right. Well, they haven't taken off yet. What should you do about it? Get the inside of this puppy. Okay. Pretty good private jet. There it is. Pretty good private jet. It's like we got, uh, maybe 12 seats. Okay. He takes his first choice of seats and that's the one he picked. I think that's the one you should pick. I think that's the right one. I think that's the right one. As a guy, you flew in private at decent amount. Is that the right? Uh. Where would you sit on this plane? I think I would have chosen the seat he chose. Backlight. Now, what are you doing? You doing the couch? I don't ever do the couch. The couch is crazy. Yeah, the couch is, uh, I think the one time I flew with you, I took- I would do front. I would do right there. Right there. The solo seat right there. I would do where he balked, where he- Yeah, he did go for it. I do want to face forward. I don't want to face backward. I don't want to face backwards or sideways on a plane. East to knees there? Yeah, but you're probably knees to knees everyone. I was knees to knees with Brandon one time. Yeah. I think I'm flying back from BR. No, you're not going, you're not going, if you have first choice, you're not going back to the pilots. Well, I guess you're right. You're not knees to knees in that back one. You got the table. I think I chose the- yeah. I think he chose the right seat. But then, but then you got to sit right next to somebody. Yeah, but Rico wants to be talking off of you. But the bigger deal is who did he allow to sit next to it? Oh. Because you can imagine Tate or somebody sitting down and he's like, nah, nah. Where do you expect everyone on this itinerary to sit? They will have to sit with- I assume the four of them coaches who he's wanting to angle. The head coach gets priority, right? Yeah. You got to think Penn State's director of NIL's got to be in the mix. Yes. Pretty heavy in the mix. Who's the four? Do you know her? I've never met her personally, no. But you're familiar with her? I am familiar with the fact that she's- I've only seen her name a couple of times. I don't know how integral she is into the inner workings of everything. What's Penn State's general manager of NIL doing in New Jersey? I've reached out to people to see if they have any inside scoops. I don't know how that connection was formed. I don't know why she would be there. I don't know if Rico is trying to leverage some type of- I don't know why Rico wants her on the plane. I don't know why she wants to be on the plane. The internet is a scary place. That was 45 minutes ago. Is there a welcome to the league moment? Yeah. It seems very nice, but I don't know how she knows Rico. I don't know- Why does he know the director of NIL? I don't know. I don't know. I will say that's of all the schools for him to pick. Look at that. That's also crazy thing. He's not exactly the biggest State Penn fan. Yes. Also, he's a college basketball guy and they're just highly irrelevant. I think their combined basketball record in conference this year was like 438 or something like that. Terrible. I loaded up on Penn State basketball merch in my suitcase. I'm going to be wearing it to the Final Four like crazy. Why? Just because I want to show the people of Indianapolis who's coming. Because we're on the up and up. There's only up to go from here. So the Indianapolis needs to know that Penn State men are coming. That is something you would want to be alerted to. Yeah, we need to know what Penn State men are coming. Final Four, watch out next year. Next year. That's historically been a problem. What time do you guys play in the crown? Not playing in the crown, TJ. Yeah, we do. You play tonight? Yeah. Nice. Should we watch? Yeah. Okay, cool. Are we going to dinner? They'll put it on. They'll put it on. They'll put it on at Penn State. They'll put the Rutgers. Put it on for TJ. Rutgers, Creighton in the crown. They'll have that on. I know we're eating dinner and if you ask them nicely, they will wheel in the television like an elementary school teacher. They'll just wheel in a fucking TV and set it right next to our table. Yeah. Throw it on the game. Take yourself back to elementary school. Real quick, 30 second detour here. The teacher rolls it in. What's on the TV? What's she showing? Magic school bus. Okay. Ms. Frizzle. Okay. And then the fucking, the well actually nerda. There's a girl, right? Who's that bitch? According to my research. Well actually. That's like what I do. Who's that bitch? Who's that bitch? Dude, shut up. We're trying to fucking float on red blood cells right now and you're over here saying according to my research. Conor, where they rolling into your TV to the classroom? Osmosis Jones. Really? Fucking banger of a movie, yeah. Really? Were you, were you, were you, were you hip to that? Well, I mean, I was, I was pretty all of this. Yeah, true, true. That's pretty true. Television, yeah. And that's also probably before you had kids. According to my research. Before I had, you're saying I was in elementary school before I had kids? No, Osmosis Jones, I think, dropped before you. Yeah. This is a, this is a film? Yes. Bill Murray, right? So you weren't, you weren't watching the film in school over and over and over again, were you? Yeah, pretty much every year. Really? But you're watching all that movie? Yes. I think that's like a big like Rainy Day, recess is canceled, throw on the first 40, 40 minutes. Why is he in Snot? He's in a booger? He's a germ. Yeah, he's inside the human body. Oh, so it is, it's like Magic School Bus. Kind of. But also, Bill and I, the science guy was big. That was one where we watched that repeatedly. Yeah. I've said it a million times on the show, but it's growing up in Northern Virginia. You watch Remember the Titans at least five times of school year starting in first year. Fast forward right to the paramedics. Yeah, absolutely. Conor was my substitute teacher. That's double A ball. We play triple A here in Virginia. We play 6A now in Virginia. What is, what is, that sentence, that just never made sense. Well, so I believe the 3A classification in Virginia came about because Northern Virginia was expanding very quickly at the time. Yeah, sure. So high schools at the time were like 5,000 students in a high school. So that's where they started getting the 3As were the 5,000 student schools. So, is Remember the Titans generally correct? No. And it's retelling not even close. Really? It's, my understanding. Not even a little bit? It's a little bit accurate. The coach's name's all right. Yeah. Okay, that's about it. Lou came and spoke at my school one time. The players' names are right, I think. Yeah. The minor standing is that it was over the course of two years. Alexandria City High Schools all condensed down to one high school. They closed a bunch of them. They opened a new one. TC Williams High School. Now I think like Alexandria City High School. And they just picked the fuck out of everybody. Yeah. I think people would find it, I've said it, I guess, on the show again, but TC Williams was apparently a somewhat racist school superintendent. So, at CC Williams, the school, the movie about integration is actually no longer named TC Williams. Wow. So, who's the most notable racist in your hometown? Robert E. Lee. Oh, my name is my grandfather. Turner Ashby. I think I've told you guys, my dad's a hard-o about Hoosiers. He's never watched it. Refuses to watch it. And that surprises a lot of people because it feels like a, it came out in the 80s. My dad's lived in Indiana. This feels like a waste. Yeah. He should be the number one Hoosiers. Yeah, right. I think I've told you that before and the reason why is because he's like, it's not even, it's not a true story. Everyone says it's a true story. Oh, it's based on a true story. Mylon went to the final four the year before. He's like, they weren't underdogs. It's like those of us, I guess my dad was around. I guess my dad was around for the, he wasn't actually, but. So, in the movie, it's 1951 and in reality it was 1954, I believe. Right. Yeah. In 1953, I guess they were in the final four. Really? I didn't know that. And then they brought a bunch of guys back and then went and finished the job the next year. Bobby Plump. Bobby Plump, yeah. The guy's name in real life. So, my dad puts his foot down and he's like, no. Not an inspirational story. In fact, they were the team that everyone was, I was like, what? Dad, you weren't even alive yet. And he's like, it doesn't matter son. But are you a, I love Hoosiers. Okay. I love Hoosiers. I love that film. Yeah. I love it. It's a perfect movie that Connor Griffin would watch for the first time in 2026 and say it's dog shit. And I would beat his ass. Yeah. That's like that kind of, it feels like. Thoughts Connor? I love Hoosiers too. It was on one night after the March Madness games and I was, I was. That's how I know it as well. Yeah. I was just going to bed and getting ready. I had that on on my TV. Blaring out. That wasn't the first time you watched it though. God, no. No. All right. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I take that back. I got a little sense. I can I can I can I can confess something? I'm a little on edge about the final four being in Indianapolis because I have grown up. It's just something that you accept as fact that Indianapolis is the best final four city. And in fact, that's not even just people from Indianapolis saying it. You ask people in the college basketball world and they're just like, yeah, it's, it's a no brainer. It's Indianapolis. It's got the right combination of walkability. And by now, typically the weather's good. I don't think the weather's going to be very good this week. Yeah. You just get downtown. Everything you need is downtown. The whole city basically shuts down unlike some other cities. You know, if you had it in Chicago, say a little pocket of Chicago might be into it. The rest of the city would be like, we don't give a fuck. Yeah. Indianapolis, the whole city, everybody, you get an Uber from the airport to your hotel. Doesn't matter if the guy went to a big 10 school or anything else. He'll talk ball with you. Everybody loves basketball. So it's something I've accepted as fact. And I'm starting to as I thought, I thought the rest of this company also shared that belief. And it's not that they don't, but I'm sensing that people have never experienced the final for an indie. And so now there's a lot of like, I'm anxious to see what it's all about. And that worries me because as I said, the weather's not going to be great Brandon. Michigan might win it, which might spoil your experience. It'll be a lot of Michigan fans. And yeah, now I'm worried that come Tuesday morning people are going to be like, I don't get it. I don't get it. They shouldn't have it in Indianapolis. Do you think that's a little too premature? It is maybe you should just relax, just chill out. Just, just, hey, also, I don't love where we're staying. And I didn't want to, I didn't want to bring it up on air, but I don't love where we're staying. I don't, we're not staying at the right hotel. That's all. But yeah, you just want to stay at the tightest compound. Yeah. Might just stay with my parents. Okay. I might just all stay there. Connor, you've already done that. But Connor also, I've seen Connor the way he works where he's like, like we're barely even off the plane in San Francisco. And he's like, nah, not it. Yeah. Yeah. Not it. And then I'm like, what are you talking about? He's like, you can just feel it, dude. Yeah. And I'm like, feel what? And you're like, I just, I don't feel it. There's no problem. There's no fucking aura. And I'm worried that's going to happen where like Connor, like we're on, we're on 65 coming into Indian. We're 11 and we're not even to the city yet. And Connor's just like, I'm not feeling it. Yeah. You're going to do that, Connor? No, but based off of what you're saying, how Indianapolis really shows out forward and everybody there is into the final four. That's a completely different experience than what we had in San Francisco where nobody gave a shit. That is true. You want decals. You'll have decals. Yeah. I'll get decals galore and I'll have people buzzing and that's what I want to feel. So we're driving down. Should we swing by the airport so you can get a, a reason to decal? Do you want to hop out, run around the terminal to count the decals? Ebo and I are going by itself. Bye, I'll take it so I get the shirt. It's just me and Ebo driving together and we'll probably leave before you guys leave today. We should, we should stop in West Lafayette and be like, why is no one here celebrating a final four? We should also talk about the, the, the groups we have driving. There's a little behind the scenes for, for everybody, but it seems like we're going to three groups. The Ebo and Connor group, the T. Which is just you two. Right. Literally just you two, right? Yeah. I think yeah. Yeah. Okay. The TJ, Mark, Cody, Moresh group. Yeah. Yeah. The springtime thaw is finally here. The weather's are blooming. Days are longer. We're saying yes to more plans and finally getting outside, running, walking, just moving again.

And the Brandon Walker group. Which Brandon Walker driving. Which is of Brandon Walker. I'm not sure how we arrived at this. That does seem a little weird now that we're here. Three cars. You can take the boys. Who? Conor Eba. No, I have to stay flexible. Exactly. Right. I know how we arrived here. I know how we arrived here. I know how we arrived here. I just, it is, it's going to be a little weird. This is where you go to find peace and where you feel control is when it's just you and me. Behind the wheel, yeah. No, I'm in my head now. Technically. Don't worry about it. Because now, now, now, now, anytime anyone says they're having a good time, I know that they're just saying that to make me feel good. Mark. So now. We've got a reservation. We're going to have a good night. We're going to have a fine Applebee's. Now, it is a good Applebee's. We're going to. Okay. It's, it's, you will see a lot of high school shit on the wall. I brought my pizza king t-shirt. Okay. So. I will say that about Andy. We, our Applebee's, we don't fuck around. We will put the high school helmet on the wall. We will put the, the like, the, the 2002 team that won sectional, you know, their, their posters will be on the wall. Is Indianapolis, I know Columbus is like this. I believe Indianapolis is one of those that chain restaurants see as their best markets. Yeah. There's a lot of chains. I know. I think, but, but like when you talked about a chain across the country, they're like, our best place, our market, Indianapolis. Yeah. Isn't Columbus like that? Yeah. Yeah. That way. I was talking for whatever reason, I was on a pizza hut shoot one time. We was doing something with pizza hut. And I said, so I want an old school pizza hut. Where's the good old stuff? And they said Indianapolis is full of it. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. We, Andy has a lot of steak houses downtown, but half of them are chains. Yeah. He really cares. We're just like the, we have Ruth's Chris. This is, it's an Indianapolis staple. You got to go to the Ruth's Chris. You got to go to the Fogo. What did they call on Parks and Rec? What was his favorite steak house? Cause he didn't call it St. Elmo's, even though it's based on St. Elmo's, right? What? Yeah. It probably didn't call us. Something fun. Fennigan, not Fennigan. God damn it. This is going to bother me all morning. Don't troll mulligan. Is it mulligan? Mulligan? Mulligan. Could be. I don't remember. I don't remember. Yeah. I don't remember. Okay. All right. Everybody get, hey, we'll be all right. We'll be all right. Guess what? I'm worried about the weather. We get done with the yak. We're going to get in the car. All the boys are going to go on a trip together. We're going to Indianapolis and 49 other states. It's just boys hanging out. Not, not in Indianapolis. Yeah. You know, you know the thing about Indianapolis, it's a open container is really loud. At least a frail. They, they, as far as I know, I don't know if they change the laws. Yeah. You can just walk around. Let's just get a bunch of people. You both smile and he doesn't believe me. Let's get bitches. You don't believe me. I can tell. I can see that look in your eye. You don't believe me. Yeah. I don't know if I do. Okay. All right. I mean, it's like Savannah. Savannah that way. Yeah. When we were in New Orleans. That's where they are. When we were in New Orleans, uh, yeah, one of the best parts was you would just go into a gas station, grab a beer, walk around the city with it. One of your best parts of New Orleans was going into a gas station. Just put the vibe of the city is that people are bozing. People are having a good time. All right. Look if I'm right because it's been that way in the past. I don't know if they change the law. I haven't lived there in a long time. All right. You're gonna play host this weekend. So if I'm in New Orleans, What's going on? I feel like there's a famous arrest or something for like open container. You're trying to bait us into into re repeating that word. Just google it dude. Yeah. Quits scoffing. Quits scoffing prove me wrong overview of the open container law in Indiana permitted to carry alcohol drinks in public and on side generally there and it was a lot. Yeah, exactly. Okay. Yeah. That's why and it's a surprise because Indiana is is like for the longest time it was so weird living in Indiana because you could you could take your beer and walk or anywhere you want which is like only Vegas in New Orleans. It was like Vegas, New Orleans and Indianapolis are like the only places on earth or in America I should say where you could do this but then you can't buy beer on Sundays. So it was very Midwest. It was very confusing as to whether the legislature of Indiana wanted people to drink beer or not. Pro beer. Yeah. Very confusing. So the like race day would roll around you go to a gas station to get your beer on Sunday. Shit out of luck. Should have got it the night before. Okay. So you're going to be a nervous host this weekend. Yeah. I'll let it come to me. Okay. It's whatever. I don't I'm secure enough and knowing that it is whether if it's a bad showing this time to you guys that's a huge problem. That's a huge problem. We're going to have Andy's favorite son Greg Odin. He said he might stop by. Yeah. He said he might stop by. So we'll see. Josh. We we got to check on ref Rob. We got to get ref Rob in the building. Okay. Ref Rob's Indiana Indianapolis base right. He might be booked and busy on this type of weekend. Yeah. He's he's if I know ref Rob he's gonna hill. Yeah. There are there are like the first time I think they're doing it. There's there are a thousand games going on. It's not just the final four. There's like Division two really. Oh they're putting everything in one. NIT is going on right in the same place all in Indianapolis. Oh shit. Yeah. Crowns of Vegas. The NIT is in Indianapolis. I know. So there is that. We'll be live. You'll be live from a bar Friday and Saturday if people want to come say what up. All right. So can I clarify something. Real question. Yes. The do you know who's in Indianapolis on Tuesday Mark. What game might be happening in theapolis on Tuesday. The night. Panic night. Ask a flat. I was going to say Rascal flat the night after the national championship game on Tuesday. We could get a massive guest on on Monday morning show potentially. All right. Tuesday in Indianapolis. Yes. So it's probably not a hockey guest. So it's probably against the Pacers. Is it the is it. Jay Gilgis Alexander. We could get Bulls legend Mike Conley on the show. No shit. The Timberwolves play the Pacers on Tuesday April 7. No shit. Wow. We could go. We could go Odin Conley back to back. Here's the thing. Mike loves the show. And it's just a short Uber ride from where he's staying. We're staying. Well. Well a moderate Uber ride. Yeah. Yeah. This is doable. It's doable. Oh man. I'm excited for the final four. I think it's you were asking me earlier and then we got sidetracked a little bit but I it's going to be a banger final four. It is it is incredible. I think people are a little bit overstating that Michigan Arizona is the national championship. I think you're underselling what you kind of know you're capable of now. The winner of Michigan Arizona obviously will be the favorite championship. If if the if you con or Illinois win the national championship it won't be the craziest thing I've ever seen. My college basketball my spidey sense is tingle with Illinois here. Like often you get to a final four and there's always one team that's kind of just there you know and no no shout. You know I'm not talking down about them but George Mason 2006 wasn't going to win that final four.

There are teams that get there you know when a NC State a couple years ago great right they weren't going to win that final four right Illinois on paper is the weakest team here but in no way are they a weak team at all and in fact the way this fresh the way the Wogler and all these guys have come together they're very very good. On paper you cons the weakest team actually Illinois Illinois can win this thing. Yeah you can't go win this thing. Illinois is favored over you. Yeah. Illinois can absolutely win this thing. Yeah you're right. But so reeks. I was talking to reeks in the cave about the idea of it setting up for a Duke national championship obviously not now but before before the Duke UConn game it felt like it felt like I was I was getting vibes of twenty fifth well partially Duke wins in Indianapolis. They've won three national championships in Indianapolis so this being an Indian Final Four I was like oh they beat they they 92 they they beat Michigan there they beat Butler. Oh no they won they won 91 they beat Kansas there yeah and then they beat Butler there Butler and 10 and then Wisconsin and 15. OK. Yeah and the 15 one was the one that I was pointing at where I was like you had going into that game the Final Four Michigan State and if Duke would have advanced here I would have been really worried because Duke played Michigan State and then Wisconsin Kentucky played an all time legendary game Wisconsin pulls off the upset and reeks made the comparison it was like a ladder match in wrestling where you had like the two guys climbing the ladder and then they both punched each other and then the third guy just runs up and grabs a belt and I'm not saying that's going to happen but it is something to monitor that like Michigan and Arizona and everyone's just like whoever wins that is your national champion. Yeah don't sleep on the don't sleep on the line or the Huskies. I mean as much as you're going to have to get up for Saturday's game you know you have a week you have a week leading up to it Michigan and Arizona know that their opponent is the other best team in the country. I can see a world where they play to like 81 77 overtime and on Monday they come out first 10 minutes with dead legs. Yeah and not you can get up for national title game too but I can just see a world where you come out with dead legs and Illinois UConn is energized by their victory. Yeah but maybe that's total misreading and very very stupid maybe I'm just ugly. That's not yeah that's okay. Yeah that's fine. I almost caught in sick this morning I haven't told you that yet. Oh really. Did y'all see that I. Yeah it was a very funny just said never mind. Yeah it was very funny I was like wait he didn't send a message before that you can click on the edited and it was like oh I will I will I will I will go for 23 AM. I woke up at 4 4 o'clock and I'm stomach hurt and I was feeling awful and if we didn't have to travel today I was I was going to bang it. But I was like I texted y'all said I'm not I'm not coming today guys I'll meet you on Indianapolis I'm sick and and about and I laid back down and five minutes went by I was like no I can't fucking do that. I just got just I was like you do you do that every time though. I do that a lot. I do that a lot where listen if I would like everybody know if I ever do call in sick it's just because I've exhausted all options and I have because I will I will send a text and be like I can't come today and then realize I just fuck get your bitch ass up and go and today was a get your bitch ass up and go. I'll say it was the way it was raining when I woke up rain and it was like but it was that rain that was like gently falling outside and just saying hey hey hey go back to sleep go back to sleep crawl back under those cars you don't have to get up there's water out here right you don't have to deal with this. Yeah. All right anyway Michigan Arizona thinks going to be I'm scared of this game all right I'm scared of you I don't know how else to describe it I'm just scared I think it's going to be such high stakes well played basketball so intense fucking just giants I'm gonna draw there be like nothing but giants on the floor beating the shit out of each other. Okay. So excited for this is a marker here here here okay bigger one coming all right I'm drawing a pie okay that's no bigger than what I had that's no bigger than what I had the bigger one hit you is that one there's a chisel tip one in your in your in your pooch somewhere all right oh that's a good one all right this is pie that's a pie so it's misshapen pie it's not whoever needed it whoever needed the dough isn't very talented at needing the dough do you need dough for a pie yeah right yeah you need you need dough for a pie all right all right all right there's four teams here Illinois Michigan yeah Arizona UConn as we're walking around in Indianapolis as the the teams take over the cities as the fan bases take over the cities I'm guessing Michigan Illinois are going to dominate this thing I think so so do they make up do we go 45% Michigan 45% Illinois and then 10% the other two or or more so you can't the Illinois here a lot here's the thing about Illinois I think Illinois is going to have the most I could be wrong my gut feels like Illinois is gonna have the most fans because they have had a long drought making the final four they are they've had a long drought they're very close they're drivable which Michigan is as well but the difference between them and Michigan is that they care more about basketball the fans yes well Illinois cares about basketball though right that's what I said yeah yeah oh yeah I thought you said Michigan I said more so than Michigan I'm a Michigan Michigan will have yeah the Michigan's a football school that like oh we're in the final four okay that's cool but they'll still send Michigan I have a ton of people there don't get me wrong um right is that is that is that correct or is this you can't gonna dominate because you can't is the you can't a basketball school Arizona's a basketball school maybe the basketball schools will say Arizona have to leave surely Illinois will have them up Illinois will have the most they've been waiting for this for the drive for them they've been waiting for 21 years yeah there's just driving there's going to drive over yeah Illinois 21 years they haven't had any football success to speak of this one's a drive too but Michigan people have like blown their their life savings already you know they blew it on the Rose Bowl then they blew it on the national channel then they blew you know how many life savings do you have yeah whereas Illinois is like we've been waiting for this this we've had nothing all right I say I say that's my belief that I could be wrong 40 percent 40 percent of the fans walking around indianapolis or Illinois fans the 30 or michigan fans okay 40 30 20 or any 10 20 or Yukon 10 or Arizona okay 10 might be a lot for Arizona Arizona not only not only is from the west coast and the furthest away but you know west coast fans just don't travel like the like east coast fan yeah they don't they don't give a fuck as much I'm not saying every Arizona basketball fan feels like that there's a lot of passionate Arizona basketball fans but like the east coast teams don't or the west coast teams just don't don't do it like the east coast you don't think so I don't think so wow you're upset a lot of Arizona fans that's fine okay that's fine all right all right so 40 Illinois 30 Michigan that's your belief yeah okay which is gonna be if there's only 40 Illinois fans there it's gonna be shot thank god you drew that pie yeah well okay all right so four now that I once I started drawing I realized I don't do pie charts I don't yeah draw 40 percent for me on that pie chart what does 40 percent look like you can start with 10 if you want if that's easier so you start do you let it take 50 take 50 and take 10 just right 20 percent of that just do 10 real quick just a quick time do 50 start with 50 I'm gonna do 10 that 10 who knows I don't know okay and then I'm gonna do 20 wait a second you don't want to do 100 percent of these four teams I'm gonna do 20 yes you're you're you're forgetting you're forgetting the Duke fans that bought tickets thinking there's no way we're not in the final four yeah you're forgetting the Duke fans that paid for their tickets with in second I got it I got it all right here's it's like how the you're forgetting the Duke fans that paid for their tickets with 10 seconds left in the game as they were inbounding the ball and they were like there's literally nothing that could go wrong we are going to the final four jayme you play youngstown state in the national championship one year and north to go to say fans were so used to going the game that it was literally 25 percent of fans were north to go to say fun all right became like part of their yeah it was just like their routine calendar here's my attempts all right all right we'll save that what do you think chart maker we'll save that we'll compare so Connor I want you to I want you to what percentage is that big 10 walk around and pull everybody 70 that kind of just looks like a peace sign Brandon yeah it does that doesn't look like a fucking peace sign but like a huh let's fit yeah it's just a peace sign you just want to piece this is this is a you're making a political statement with your with your pie chart why can't we all just get along um we could go around and pull people if we wanted to boys a falling I bet you do want to go around I counter not like that come on run a visual pull with your brain just like yeah I know I know but I'm even saying like asking questions do like fuck it sure family feud you know we pulled 100 people on the straight of the final four I'm curious I want you to tell me the fan base the the merch I guess just based in it you don't have to ask people just like based on what they're wearing the uh the college team that you see represented the most that's not in the final four I like that I like that as well yeah I'm writing a video to report back with that I love the people of England we're

let's scroll because I just I just tweeted it I'm still super confused maybe Matt you're not connected no sitting here waiting on our jet I'm gonna ask you the three questions the internet is asking the most first one is there truth to the rumor that you squeezed out people like jack mac and invited people like the sales team and mike rear from the data because they can help you no there's a miscommunication with jack I felt bad when it first came out tried to invite jack and he said yeah I'd be in but my friends probably even saturday and then there was a so how did the sales and he would have to get hotels so it's what about the sales and data how did they make uh sammy was standing in the office and was like she was looking and then gas kind of said greer was looking last minute so we filled that in so okay next question um Morgan she's from Penn State you have a huge rival or a steed man jeff jeff the aloe is one of my best friends like I hate the is that true a lot of fanbanks and my best friends obviously what they did but everybody there is not didn't participate in all so he didn't answer that at all that didn't kind of answer oh thank you riko I there for a second I thought every single person at Penn State did yeah he's jeff the aloe is the example of like you know there are good people at Penn State but that jeff the aloe wasn't involved with this girl no his point was that like no his point was I don't have a gradual everybody at Penn State the question was how did this young lady from Penn State get on the right did not explain it at all that's bad journalism also best one of my best friends jeff the aloe that I just can't call jeff the aloe right now I can't get him on the phone one of my best friends what are your best friends jeff the aloe could it be there this weekend yeah surely yes yeah yeah as you're uh working on jeff are you gonna call him right now I'm gonna call him right now yeah but um you know me sport clips if you've ever stepped onto a baseball field you know that smell fresh spring grass leather gloves the whole ballpark vibe sport clips is bringing that inspiration to the mvp haircut experience with new playmaker sense after your haircut you'll get the legendary hot steam towel now infused with scents like birchwood spring grass and new leather glove it's the perfect way to finish a great haircut and feel like you just walked off the field with the wind try the playmaker sense now before they're gone only at sport clips offerings may second 2026 at participating locations only and where permitted by law sport clips give him a buzz oh he's clearly not one of your best friends try that again that's that's did not just area brant yeah but he doesn't have you in the the pass through I don't know how that works you gotta break through you gotta break through he's gotta have you as a breaking through guys you gotta break through all right hey what's up where are you at I'm recording a dozen what's going on on that's fine you're live on mostly sports too okay what are your thoughts about rico bosco saying that you're one of his best friends I would say I'm a pretty good he's a good buddy of mine is he one of your best friends um at the company probably but yeah I have my core best friends here in Texas so no but I don't think anyone I would say the company's my best friend okay all just checking because you seem to be rico's best friend oh well I mean I'm feel very honored and blessed he's a he's a lovely friend he's been very supportive yeah he's one of my best friends of the company it's a very good guy very supportive awfully you know out of content so can I get that list of I'm very honored can I get that list of your best friends in the company you're definitely one of them I would say as well obviously obviously all right all right that's why I answered uh who's who's playing who's playing in the dozen it's a the grinders against the red team big t jack mac it's a fantastic match who's winning right now I can't say that oh this might be an emergency so I answered okay bye hmm that's the first time I've ever called into the dozen yeah you're usually watching yeah I'm usually behind that's called a friend of phone yeah that's friend friend of phone to you I don't think that is what it's called friend of phone uh I had a friend of phone Thursday friended phone there I had this made special uh for our weekend um this is a she can tell it's a cult jersey but we're doing a rare Saturday show so I made oh so it's a Saturday on the back yeah yeah yeah that's pretty good because we're doing this pretty good yeah yeah um custom custom made that's right also sent in for opening day last week so shout out to whoever sent it in we do get whenever we get sent jerseys for for opening day we appreciate them we wear them but it is hard to keep up with who sent what so thank you for whoever sent it Jeff Saturday is the what most famous center what number would you say Kelsey's number one though he was previously probably one probably won right he was yeah was the head coach of the Colts there for a second was he not yes yeah he was they got him off like a golf course didn't they yeah but he that he he wasn't in coaching they said hey come coach us for a couple weeks all right sure yeah um yeah he was one and then Kelsey's yeah so planted him that that's why two I guess yeah that's how that works that's why Stephen A Smith every single time a job opening comes available he's always trying to get somebody on one of his shows the job because Jeff said Jeff Saturday literally went from ESPN yeah to Indianapolis head coach and now that was cool Stephen A Smith says Ryan Clark should be the head coach of the Steelers yeah I mean Jim J. Randick was podcasting and he became the head coach of the Lakers very true Doug Gottlieb I mean all the big ones yeah Doug Gottlieb is a coach at Green Bay you know we gotta get your name attached to some jobs buddy I've been trying I don't even say like interviews we just gotta get like a report from yeah some but like Joe tipped and being like names attached to the whatever job you don't even have to report that I that they're interested just report that like you're like that we're just you don't have to report anything just say like names that I names to watch here's some names to watch we were in the middle of some names here's some names that I think would be a good fit and throw my name on the list we were in the middle of the pros versus Joe stream and a report came out that Jason Williams was one of the like the like people they were looking at for the ULM job yeah that's what I I why chocolate Jason Williams yeah well he was like just why dog and Nikki smoke I tried very hard like I'm the jokes aside I tried very hard to get the Chicago State job and I didn't even I ultimately was like I just wanted an interview I just want to state my case they wouldn't even they wouldn't even answer my phone calls it was crazy just let me put my name in the in the hat I just want to get in the hat you don't have to pull my name out of the hat just throw it in there well so you well and you know we have a connection for you do you know who the athletic director of ULM Louisiana Monroe the athletic director at that school I know I know who it is yeah do you know who it is Titus no who it is the little kid from the blind side to a SJ to a who is friends with Mincey it's Lee and to his son Lee and to the Sandra Bullock role okay at the son yeah yeah I don't I don't remember they adopted a five-star athlete because to sending the old men's and you know made it into a movie that even the five-star athletes like that's a bunch of bullshit yeah I never have one of these what a bid Brandon's favorite movie never seen it never will watch it nobody here's allowed to watch it I watch it I'll punch you in the this this is your Hoosiers your your coach Titus but except you've watched it a hundred times what Hoosiers I've never seen I've never you know that's a very famous clip all right that's a very famous I've never seen that clip so yeah it must be you never seen it where I know nothing about the blind side other than uh yeah that's one of my ball I general I don't remember a single scene from that movie before I joined this company I was my number one job was like blind side denier yeah where I was telling the world this is like you're you're you're the crazy guy with the bell yeah you haven't seen the movie and yet you know every single I know that's a line from the movie I know that scene yeah and has has the you know the the subject of that movie DM me and said everything you're saying is correct maybe interesting yes but also welcome to Sandra Bullock no way it goes back to what mark your dad was saying like these are movies that there might be based on a true story but they're all of these fictionalized all these say they're based on a true story yeah but if you're looking at the blind side is like oh yeah this is concrete fact of what happened and everything you're delusional but Hoosiers done up Hoosiers gets really close Hoosiers gets very close yeah yeah Hoosiers gets very close yeah so where do you draw the line because you were on stream two weeks ago talking about how Rico was out of touch with Moneyball being like people misread Moneyball people misconstru moneyball and people come up with the dumbest excuses to discredit Moneyball where they say oh the one thing they don't talk about in that movie this is the fact they had Zito and Mulder and Hudson and Miguel Todd of the MVP well that's not the point of the movie the point of the movie is replacing Giambi and Damon and his ringhousin and it focuses on the players they brought in to replace those guys it focuses on Hattie Berg who they brought in to replace Giambi it focuses on justice focuses on those guys it doesn't focus it focuses on trying to rebuild after getting your players ripped apart from you so it doesn't have to focus on the other guys sorry sorry sorry people misread sports movies all the time and it bothers me I might watch Hoosiers on the drive down I would like to watch Hoosiers right now I might watch I'm driving by the way and you had to show you'd be the safest driver in there that's true the choices for drivers for our car is Mahresh or me watching Hoosiers as I drive and everyone voted and they picked me watching Hoosiers on my phone and the vote was four nothing you were a great driver all that drive how um Rhinelander y'all don't want to give Mahresh a chance at redemption I don't think our legal team wants to give Mahresh a chance at redemption to be honest work I mean but Mahresh here's the thing he's really good at driving on the right side of the road one of the best he's addicted to it he can't he can't do anything but drive this is in his wheelhouse yeah this is something he should be good at I don't see the problem I can just see y'all coming to the first round about he just the car blew up uh you probably don't remember it Brandon but uh at some point this week in fact it might have happened yesterday that's uh the days are kind of blending together you were you were trying to think of a random college to mention you're trying to make a point about uh uh the the the the the the uh and then you said it and you just said a random college and the random college you chose the first one you mentioned was lindenwood right so as I was thumbing through my jerseys to where today I decided to wear the lindenwood basketball jersey I'll be god damn it was sent I believe last opening day someone someone from lindenwood sent us this and uh yeah and I was like Brandon was just talking about lindenwood I forget the context things gotta lose you remember saying it I do I think we were saying uh what's a believable division one college to do something what's a like a lower level division one college that's not at the high it's not like you could have said any of them could have said any I said lindenwood than longwood and then I thought uh hey lindenwood there you go so two shows in a row maybe two shows this week at least might be a record lindenwood is getting shout out shout out to lindenwood well deserved connor griffin I'm wearing a connor griffin this is co and and er griffin this is a big day for connor great moment to talk about the other connor it's unbelievable I'm having the time of my life yeah I know uh I got this news from Brandon actually Brandon broke this to me when I came in and it happened when I was driving into the office connor griffin k o n n o r oh pirates number one prospect he's so much cooler than you yes he got called up he's making his debut tomorrow night in Pittsburgh and guess where the pirates are going to be next weekend wriggly field yep whoa um I've been getting his jersey as well show me that video again okay this is connor griffin puts on his hat he's gonna look up he's the fucking man he's the man he's awesome he's awesome he's six five jacked yeah mustache years old yeah you gotta change your name golden god what'd you use to call yourself you gotta change your name that was physical specimen I think he's he's he's connor griffin logging you you got a middle name that's fine he's just so much better than you francis I'm not being you know I'm not franky I'm not being franky griffin but it'd be franky frank or francis no because they're all taken up too yeah how are all those names taken yeah so you can't be cf because connor griffin plays short stuff and center field oh I got what about sis like his rank yeah yeah what if you do the the backward abbreviate like yeah like tofer grace you know yeah sis sis griffin then I'm just putting that together what tofer coming from christopher yeah I never put that together I thought he was just tofer Liam that's that's good to know well that I knew that'd be a sag thing right probably we're like Christopher grace was already taken what is you just real quick you you thought tofer was just a name listen people in hollywood are fucking weird and I just assumed that was just a name that was made up by his parents that yeah William William the end of William but it is a standalone name by itself too I mean it can be both but tofer's not really yeah are you aware of what's going on with the pittsburgh pirates in the last 24 hours not related to connor griffin I know I watched them I know mangan went over five yesterday okay I know that they they they won yesterday eight to three so there was like a a merch thing that dropped from fanatics recently called where it's the it's a hoist the cone on the share yeah yeah yeah and then yesterday they had a cone they they o'neill cruise hoisted the cone onto his head and now they have the home run cone I believe all right it's awesome yeah they're hoisting the cone okay well it's a vibe thing now that's good for a team that is good that you have an identity and something to do this summer like this is going to be the cone look summer the cone but they also have the welders mask which is kind of cool I think that like fits the pittsburgh vibe yeah okay but yeah that's that's fun so stoked uh evo this is uh my second matt ryan jersey you have two matt ryan jersey yeah we're so when I did my fanatics haul off the clearance rack I accidentally bought two of them so yeah this is the second one all right good for you it's definitely not just the same jersey and he did a video I haven't worn the first one yet oh you do you did have two yeah yeah I I recently wore a karson wence colds jersey which was also the same number so you might have thought of that okay yeah that's probably what I thought of you know what I was thinking of I was thinking of TJ's karson wence jersey it's a lot of stuff it's my bad my bad I think of TJ's karson wence jersey often yeah TJ's got a good one yeah sake one barkley giants former ruckers commit sake one barkley people forget oh wow I didn't know that that's very easy to forget grew up wanting to play for nowhere but ruckers and then you got better offers well if he wanted to play nowhere but ruckers why didn't he play a ruck because then he became a better football player and he got a bunch right but you said he wanted to play nowhere but ruckers that's his quote if you want to play nowhere but ruckers he had that option for sure and yet he played somewhere but ruckers worked out for him I guess yeah we'll have to see yeah I guess we'll have to see I mean he's what 2,000 yards Super Bowl champ we'll see how the rest of his career he's only had more than a thousand and five yards in the season three times in the last four years and he needs a quarterback to hand the ball off they might they might be looking for a new quarter yeah this is absurd so you need shout out to this guy who did jersey by himself oh shout out to Trenton Newton oh I love this he's wearing he's wearing the 45 Jordan on Easter weekend you get it yeah yes yeah he's back that's good yeah yeah yeah back yeah that's really good that's really really good um I love what what Evo you're making a face they couldn't just give him 23 back no I think that was his choice right at the time okay I yeah I was not born yet I don't think it was either I think it was his big brother's number and that's why he chose 23 in the first place because it was half of his big brother or maybe his dad is one is one of those did he wear 45 in baseball no I don't maybe I don't know what he wore in baseball to be honest speaking of retired numbers friend of the show uh who's never been on the show Evan Turner uh Devin Royle played for Ohio State this year he was Ohio mr basketball went to Ohio State he's now entered the transfer portal because we got like a five star coming in and you know ideally he would come off the bench next year but he thinks he's too good you know like yeah whatever I'm not it's the state of college sports so it works sure anyway um he uh he's going to transfer from Ohio State and Evan had unretired 21 for him to wear it and then I think ET after he saw the transfer portal news he's like I'm never doing that again so he's on his mat liner shit now but no one no one's he's like I'm not doing that but that proves Matt liner correct yeah like like because Devin Royle was a guy that I think Evan was like all right you're Ohio mr basketball you're from central Ohio you're Ohio mr basketball you're worthy of this number you can have it yeah and then he after a couple years is like I'm gonna get I'm gonna get the hell out of here yeah I think if you're almost like a retired numbers are like an homage and a shout out to to what college basketball used to be where you can play three or four years and leave a legacy right now nobody legacy doesn't matter does not matter doesn't matter whatsoever your legacy is now did you lead your team to a final four in your one year there or something like that so I have no problem with these older players preserving their legacy by not giving to somebody who's just gonna either a leave or B ask for a whole lot more money yeah so I I have no problem it's it the players today get to get paid that's great but let's honor the guys of the past too and not just not just throw it away because whatever uh everyman jack you're a grown man making better decisions about what you put in your body are you paying attention to what goes on it here's the thing uh using grooming products with harsh chemicals is like washing your car with dish soap sure it gets the job done but you're stripping away the protection and doing long term damage most guys think they

orbiting the moon and then they will return in 10 days i believe i believe it's a 10 day mission uh a debate broke out on live on national television uh this morning on wake up barstool big t with with uh his point of view is that they are not going to the moon brandon track they're going around the moon this does not count as going to the moon this is the furthest uh astronaut has an astronaut will go since 1972 before astronauts are on the on the space shuttle right now um what say you brandon walker is are they going to the moon or not going to the moon is doing a lap around the moon does that count as going to the moon yeah i'm gonna i'm i'm not saying they walked on the moon sure they said if if they come back and they're like yeah we walked on the moon i would say liars all right what if if if if you and i broke up and i was stalking you and i wanted to see if you were at home or if you were out getting banged by a bunch of yeah okay and i was at my house and i got my car and i drove around your cul-de-sac and then drove out to see if your car was there i think the police would think i went to your house you went to my house yes right you should go to my house so you didn't go in my house no one said you went in my house using the the police stalker corollary here the police would say yeah you went to her house or his house i would say we went to the moon we didn't go in the moon yeah we didn't go we didn't go put our feet up in the moon we didn't take a dump in the moon but i think running off because the moon is not next door no way over there it's it's it's way over there way over so we're gonna go check see if the moon's home look around hey moon yeah come back yeah don't swing by the moon no you're not in the neighborhood no you're not just like hey i thought i'd pop in because i'm you know throw on an outcast album just hit the dirt roads and then oh what fuck the moon oh shit yeah i didn't realize i was here no i don't know they're going to the moon yeah i think they're going to the moon now i have a bigger issue in this world where more information is at my fingertips than it's ever been in a world where i can be as informed as i want to be or as misinformed as i want to be how did i not find out we were going to the moon until yesterday i'm with you i'm with you it's not i was just not i knew i knew this was like kind of on the horizon ish but it did it does feel like we should have spent the last like three weeks counting down the days till we're yes sending people to the moon i kind of imagine in 1969 that people were like hey you know next week we're going to the fucking yeah um did you see the kid i don't know that i did very funny on the news the kid on the news oh no show me the kid on the news get make sure you guys put the kid on the news to tj's phone right now because um i don't i don't know if it was in the group chat or not i don't want to say what he said because that gives away what he said okay but there was a kid on the news and he was asked about he was asked about why was there and he answered it and it's gonna be funny hey blubbering hi apparently i've never been a woman how do you feel about space travel i'm not space guy i don't care he's just a bald guy he's the worst one you might have to leave watch us kid today of all day watch us go ahead why do you want to be here why do you love space why do you love being a part of history we're going back to the fucking moon that's why it's awesome that that kid was cool i i'm not space guy what you do how could you not you don't have to be a space guy to be a space guy right like it's one of those things that pops up to be like oh that's cool as fuck you don't have to study no it's subjective and to me it's not interesting if you were in if you are i i i i don't do this often i don't know if i've ever done it i think you might need to leave i'll leave this is crazy human kind has created a a contraption that shoots fucking rocket a rocket that shoots exhaust this way blows us up this way yeah but it doesn't kill everybody and they they get a like the very controlled with how they go about people have died on spaceship yeah but that's how hard it was to build that's how that's it's insane that they have even can even shoot it out of the the orbit of earth they're going around the moon using the the gravitational pull they go around earth the fucking back around snapping around the moon snap it and then they're gonna they're gonna land it on purpose at a specific spot yeah i saw like katie perry was on spaceship but now it's just how does my tj cut as my cut as my cut as my did you see the cut is my listen i i know get out of get out of here i can't do that not not on not on ardemus two day okay not on ardemus two day get out of here get out get out shut the door shut the door i'm smart enough to know what i don't know okay right i will look at something say well an expert looked at this and he determined that so i'm gonna trust the expert um did you see the route they're taking yeah they go up they go around the earth yeah and they go around the motherfucking earth again and then they just they're building up they're building up and then they and then they and then they say fuck it off in the deep space and they go around the moon and come back uh huh what oh yeah every state fan should know that mr manager for ardemus is a mr state aerospace yeah baseball is this the real is this the real ohio and hawaiian bulldog hell state in my basement is it a uh no this is slaying photons okay uh so uh yeah mr state guy you know not a big deal just just put people in the fucking moon what are you saying about the route at that route um oh fuck no i said i don't understand it i the experts know but like is that is that the best way to do it go around the earth twice in my understanding and i i do actually know a lot about this yes i'm actually an expert so i'll go ahead and explain this to i do think it's that the yeah you use gravity of the earth yeah and then that way you don't have to use like fuel so you like build up you build up speed somehow oh you're letting like you use less the reason you do that is like you use what what is this yeah i i do my best friend the entire world is a is a rocket scientist whose only job is basically to get shit to the moon so i'm trying to see if i can call oh really yeah damn 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

are you feeling with draper you're talking about the madmen guys no my expertise is reading about this for fun i'm trying to get i'm trying to get an expert on the line yeah it's like uh you're you're it's like a wind-up toy and you got to like charge it up charge it and then it launches and then it goes that kind of i mean that's that kind of fun as fuck though the the the looping that's insane dude do the do the first one you just showed because the moon is moving you got it you got it the precision that these people have is incredible yeah the moon's fucking moving dude yeah the moon's not even in frame brandon yeah but they're like well you know what moon will meet you over here like leading your receiver yeah so what day you got to throw the moon over comes the moon you gotta throw him open comes the moon hey moon all right yeah see you can't just be sitting in the pocket waiting for the moon to get open you gotta throw him open it's crazy blutman comes in here west coast conference basket do you want to put another space thing on your calendar brandon yes in four years the iss will be in the water will be in the ocean we're the international space station will be decommissioned it's just gonna fall in the ocean yeah i think we're gonna launch it back in the can we have it if i go if i swim out there and get we have it for the studio yeah probably brands like i went man teakin bought the fucking international space station and we got a really good deal right there you just throws it in the corner yeah dammy's in a meeting all right ah i imagine what you do with the space station i i imagine he's probably pretty busy this time is he part of this uh he's not part of this i don't think but he does he does like he's like in the war room of another nfl team watching watching like somebody take the first thick minor city is the way these space companies work as they all compete but they all work together it'd be like a healthy all very collaborative oh it's it's like us and like space x is like very far ahead and re-landing in the rocket technology sure sure sure sure that's how you're getting like uh star link when we go to mars m a r s mars bitches one red rocks they are they are the plan is to build gateway is my understanding gateway we're going around the moon gateway is like another space station that's going to orbit the moon we are uh we're landing on the moon supposed to win a couple years i think yes artemis four is the let's let's get some boots on the ground up there yeah that's 2028 i believe so that'll be cool well you know that you know the youngest the youngest living person to walk on the moon is 90 years old why that's crazy we need to get some other people up there mark that's what a lot i wanted to bring this up to the crew what a lot of people i saw on twitter saying yesterday is they're using this as fuel to their argument that the moon landing in 1969 was completely a hoax and that had never happened because if we if it was if we could do it back in 1969 why the hell haven't we done it in the past 50 years because we were peacocking and we were peacocking we were we were in a race and then we won the race and it was over but then even with this they were saying like well so you're saying that this time we're just going around the moon we're not landing on it why that's like we're back yeah you're saying you're saying if the bulls were so good in the 90s why haven't they won another champion it's like well they they did it they was over and then the dynasty ended and then now if you want them to if you was that what you want you want us to win then now we're fine like fuck it we'll win yeah now we're going back to but the bulls got to make the eastern conference finals first yeah and that's what we're doing right now we're doing eastern finals of the right we got to build the young core and then our championship window will be open in two years okay uh evill the or else good uh undetermined i i'm still very well the red socks as bad as no their start no right nothing is what it appears to be and in the first the first week of the baseball season are probably i guess week one of the NFL season is number one over reaction weekend but first week of baseball season people love to fucking overreact then in three weeks the red socks will be like 11 and 9 or something yeah yeah you got you got to be patient in baseball yeah we had a cb buckner went out yesterday got hurt and then uh we had a game end on a uh challenge is cb buckner the third biggest star in baseball behind othanian judge might be right now might be first through week one this might be the year cb buckner a crazy amount of things he's made headlines three times in less than a week yeah yeah feels like every day in major league baseball he's the story dude he got thumped on the facemask though yeah and we were just talking about that if we if we wanted to volunteer to be omp's he took what you uh 100 miles sign up for right off the mass yeah yeah maybe i wouldn't want to do it i would just be yeah no i wouldn't want to do it because i would i would i'd flinch yeah i'd flinch a lot i would it's okay if like in this world we have automatic balls and strikes they don't they don't need you to call balls and strikes they need you to hand balls to the catcher when he turns around like this and he's not gonna do one and then you hand it to him they need you to call it pitch the plate yeah call pitch clock violation that's about it right what what i mean uh plays with plate yeah that's true you gotta that seems like a big one but that seems really big one they're just gonna review that anyway yeah that's true if i miss it who really cares god i would fuck up every plate the plate plays the plate are so hard because it's not you have to be touching the plate and everybody is covering the plate and when do they how am i when do they touch it and then the tag you know the ball might beat him but the tag could be up high i am on board with the the plate being like the end zone break just break the plane break the plane of the plate um if an umpire in a big spot said i don't know would you respect him more or less if there's a plate the plate now i'm just like i didn't see because that happens in basketball sometimes the ball will go out of bounds and the refs like i didn't see but that's that you guys on i didn't see it my my gut reaction would say i would respect him more but then i i realized in basketball i get so pissed off when a ball goes out of bounds and the refs like yeah do you see it i didn't see it yeah like what your your job is to see it you're literally there to see it whatever but you know that happens sometimes where there's a play at the play and the ump just goes fuck i don't know i guess yeah for i guess i'll just fake it the ump should have the option the ump should have the option to if he doesn't see it just immediately call for the review himself like yeah guy slides in and he's like yeah just yeah let me i need help with this one i don't i don't have it don't have it at all now i'm wondering because cb buckner did that he clearly didn't see the play and he just made a call anyway yeah how many calls in a given baseball game the ump did not see it and they're just because they're like the pitches you know where they call ball or strike how many times did the ump just like i don't be honest i just didn't see it and i just i just felt like saying strike right there so i would imagine at first base you see it's hard to not see it right sure yeah you like you can't really predict at home plate things can happen blink of an eye whatever where cb buckner was standing there was no excuse not there's no excuse for that one um i feel like they might make up a lot of catches in the outfield like the the center fielder's diving for the ball and then he comes up with it and they're just like fine out yeah sure yeah i mean that was cool yeah it called it out when i was umpiring i was always nervous when i was at first base like blinking during a check swing oh yeah or something like not seeing not being focused on the check swing because yeah that has to be yeah check swing you're like yeah check maybe it's probably so easy to not pay attention also we check swings a vibes call not you didn't really see one thing or another because you're like going off of you're standing out there you're surrounded by 40 000 people there's people everywhere around you there's noises everywhere right there's there's there's hot dog vendors there's there's hot women there's hot men there's there's there's shit happening everywhere and if you're you really like you know there's a pitch you're like oh and then all of a sudden they're pointing at you yeah there ain't no way you saw it yeah also you don't even have that good of an angle no it's not even like the perfect angle you're 120 feet away too yeah that's actually something that might get automated check swings they they can do they do the bat tracking now yeah they'll tell you like the speed the path whatever and they'll probably just do like a 45 degree rule so if it breaks 45 degree playing that oh yeah then they do have to come up with a hard and fast rule of what okay so yeah if that's any part of the bat breaks that that'll be you'll probably be able to abs challenge that so i say if you're able to stop your swing just let it be a ball if you're able to start a swing and then stop at any point just let let that be yeah but that's impressive and it's alright right yeah when it comes to choosing the coverage you need state farm is a pro at dishing out assists they've gotten award-winning state farm mobile app and local agents to help you elevate your insurance game state farm with the assist coverage options are selected by the customer availability and eligibility vary by state all right yeah the umps should be standing for the check swing appeal the umps should have had the perspective of like the on deck batter not the not the first base coach or whatever you should be standing yeah or or that's the best we got oh no i got it better uh the umps should be hovering like a drone over home plate there should be an op that's about 15 feet in a platform like a hover hover board there's looking down at every single swing that guy could tell you thinking like a volleyball stand are you thinking like suspended from the rafters in like a i'm thinking you take two clips bungee core no i think you take two clips you put it on his shirt and you have a drone he is hovering on a drone like howard stern is fart man at the mtv movie awards and coming down and i don't know why that's the reference i went with i mean look it up though i think chris farley did this on saturday night live where he was met he was he did they put him on wires on the weekend update desk and they picked him up to take him out over the studio and the wires got caught oh yeah yeah am i wrong like that that's kind of what you had in mind right he's maybe without the get up but well no hold on i don't think to get up we have fart man over home plate and he's just there for the checkswings i mean listen drone man could be you telling me a drone man over the goal line and and football wouldn't work a drone like if it's fourth and an inch and they're about to to tush push a drone man just staring right down at it he's going to be able to tell you where where the guy got to yeah drone man something to think about something to think about something to think about now that i'm thinking about it why would you even need a man just i guess you just use a drone have no i want a man there i want a man there um i have a story in the world of sports that will tickle your fancy brand and this will excite you and i should have brought it up earlier but uh you know we had a great college basketball game and then and then i forgot about it but it happened over the weekend and and i wanted to call uh your attention to it the indiana state championship game was won by mount Vernon they beat crown point uh luke urtle is a kid that's going to win mr basketball he's going to purdue the first state championship for i'm talking about class foray the biggest the biggest classification in india um they it's it's the first state championship for mount Vernon the reason i bring it to your attention brandon crown point tried to there's no shot clock in indiana high school basketball they tried the stall ball shit and it came back to bite them and i thought you would like to know that that happened at the state championship level i saw you saw it yeah they tried to bleed the clock they tried to just not shoot they tried the uh this is this is something that pops up on this show every so often when we talk about it we say it's horseshit fucking any coach that does this at the high school level and the state title game you're in the state fucking championship and they pull this shit now people out there will point out this is what mylon did to win the state championship in hoosiers and so that i say that was then this is now that was 1954 that was 1954 this is like we we we've learned since then we've learned that this is this is horseshit basketball 36 was that indiana purdue i guess it kind of was yeah that might be why urtle is going to produce because the colors 36 states have shot clocks 14 do not there are 14 states that have held out and i have no idea why shot clock basketball is basketball is evolved to the point where stalling and taking the air of the ball is just not basketball and you're a bitch for doing it yeah just line up up and play you you don't i would even be finding like a 45 second shot clock like a long like a you just have to have something that's like let's get going here imagine a imagine a uh a football team takes a 7 0 lead they get the ball back their quarterback walks behind the center and just stands there for seven it doesn't snap doesn't snap it just stands there the ball yeah um it's just it's just not what the sport is meant to do and i and i and i hate coaches because college high school coaching is a passion for anybody that does it like it's a grind it's a lot but there's always that one coach you know that that's smartly little dick i i i got the solution here we're just gonna take the air out of the ball fuck you crown point that's where shane power went shane power you know that is shane power hold on it's a cool name yeah shane power no i don't know who that is shane power played at iowa state for one year then transferred to mississippi state played on the laurence roberts team okay there was a two seed laurence robert we went 25 and two one year 2004 won the ncc laurence robert timmy bowers shane power i love shane power crown point you remember crown point in the end yes that's up this way yeah not that far from yeah he's uh he started at uh iowa state and then came to us laurence roberts started at baler i don't remember what happened but he came to us um yeah shane power was one of my all-time favorite athletes and and the highlight of my life before i got hired at barstool was in my much much much much skinnier days 2004 i was out at a bar in starville and a girl and a guy asked a bartender if i was shane power whoa like god damn look at me wow now we get shane power i want to shane power eyes on shane no no no i did that that's where the that's where it falls apart because shane power these days has has taken care of himself and still looks good me he looks fantastic i'm a bag of potatoes shane power oh my great that's him lordy yeah shane powers a good guy but back in the day i was skinny and people thought but this was a that's it yeah that's a i see why you remember this now it was incredible it was that i look like shane power i never forget it was in sopranos i remember it very well handsome man and somehow soprano's still going even though the obvious copyright that they probably um what uh let's see uh i feel bad for kicking blutman out he's allowed to have his own opinion get him back in here he's allowed to have his own opinions you know that was that was that was that was bad it's but it's such a bad opinion you know what happened though you know what happened though you got big t you couldn't kick big t and his curmudgeon ass off uh wake up you're right you're right so so the next time i did the same thing and i think i was just like if i had the power to kick you off right now i would big t then i had the opportunity so i did yeah but that's uh you know i gotta it takes everyone has their own you know different strokes different folks yeah you can't anytime you meet a different opinion you can't just kick him out of the room but god it did feel good it did feel good yeah do you want to kick something i would love and it's got me thinking like if i just went through life kicking people out of the room that i'd let's say something i don't agree with that would be claire say your hottest take be pretty empowering my hottest take yeah you can't just put me on the spot like that i can't i can't i i don't know what my hottest take would be at the moment uh yeah i guess topical jaylen hurts is a top five quarterback in the league counter get the fuck out okay that's ridiculous i knew we're gonna give a hot take i didn't know you're gonna say fucking bullshit that's the dumbest thing you've ever said top five quarterback that does what please leave you gotta be fucking shitting me quite handsome please leave but we do need yeah hold on hold on hold on what if connor criffin's watching we can't just go yeah we gotta connor griffin day honor come back we get back we need connor we need a connor griffin i have a question for the room as we're as the show is uh you know we got about 10 minutes left or so um we got the grid yesterday yes we did i guess that's not a question uh we caught the un-catchable but the follow-up that is a question is what do we do now so the way i see it we have two options mark here are the two options we got the grid yesterday yager free and yager was the kind of the spine that held the grid together for so many so many weeks so many yager give us in yager take us away yager was the cornerstone of we don't have a grid without yager yeah we we just don't do it and yet we celebrated our biggest victory without him and that was selfish so i say we keep doing hockey this is option one we keep doing the hockey grid but yager is a must we have to play yager but the problem with that is what about the days where yager doesn't work that's just that's just like there's just like like the way the ball bounces grid pops up and we know right away there's no where that's the way the cookie bounces we just lose that grid it's the way the ball we punt on that grid okay um we do what we can on that grid but we acknowledge we have not been given a yager today okay or option two which is the much worse option for me soccer of which i have i'm not saying i had hockey knowledge but i had a just a teensy bit of hockey knowledge i have zero soccer knowledge yeah let's just i have i have like five years worth of soccer knowledge and even that knowledge is probably faded but i feel like your gut is leaning soccer because i well i think the challenge is part of the fun is that like it's it's an ongoing thing and you never know if we're gonna get it or mark i'm not gonna know the soccer logos because i mean like the other option would be like we do a football one which i imagine we'll just be able to do right away or basketball football basketball and baseball we should be able to do right football is a little bit tougher football is tougher baseball is easy i think especially with this break we did basketball one time we pulled it up just to show that like this is not that hard and we knocked it out you want to just try a couple and see what feels right we do yeah yeah let's do a hot spot real quick we're this is this does this doesn't count as an official attempt this is just us feeling around feeling it out yeah we're trying to set our lineup do baseball and soccer maybe yeah do give us a baseball one that we think will be easy one that we think will be hard yeah do a baseball one you do rub back here i don't think i have it uh tj because i do like doing the grid it's a nice little way to end the show it's a nice uh yeah nice way to talk about guys that maybe sometimes we don't talk about do you have it i don't have it even i like if you i give you two i i have um you make a pie out of it and then throw it you made a pie out of it and then that was all yeah it's crumpled into a ball right there maybe right just so was this the pie sure is come on man rubak rho back dot com well it's good thing it is row back because i i can i don't even need the ad

notification i'm tagged on it i i don't know what this motherfucker's saying all right oh that would be a good start of my uh white well host would be uh brandon walker oh that would be a good now would be honest i think that would be a fantastic that would be a very good i like that answer i didn't see that coming he's very he's him he will not play sides he'll know he won't yeah he'll be fair that's my point and and him and i you know as you guys know ed was there marty you were there we always had some great football conversations years ago um i i think if there ever was discussion about sports in the show it'd be fun but brandon has a lot going on that said you know he would be a guy that i would that would love to see i think i think there's a little bit of issue now with jack mack and riko okay jack mack i think it'd be a fair all that all that checks out if you're looking to launch a show at barstool i'm probably the best option to host your show so that's i i get that all right all right yeah all right yeah i didn't know what i had to see it either they tagged me uh continue all right baseball grid baseball baseball grid baseball all right okay well immediately uh it's hard dave parker top left dave parker but what about uh um show me remone or none there's eric where top middle remone or none there's i'm gonna go we're not going are we going for rarity or just trying to get all right eric davis uh bottom middle middle left they were going there eric davis middle left yeah this is easy all right eric davis would have worked middle middle too but that's okay um orials all start ty wickington people forget about that that he made an all-star team as an orial okay all right all right um was uh fucking rick neto dorre dodger no but uh eddie murray was eddie murray correct i don't know about that actually what about joey faddle i believe you what about joey vato yeah eddie murray middle all-star red uh joey vato made an all-star team or two you should so i'm gonna go you want to go jenette there i'm gonna go rick ricky hinderson is he an all-star i don't know i guess i'm gonna be crazy oh you are you are doing a little rarity flex aren't aren't you um yeah i mean you did 14 percent eddie murray we could have done oh i thought we were just getting through i didn't know i didn't know we were doing rarity i didn't know we were doing right i guess i guess i guess he's trying to swipe the flip i mean i guess if that's what you want to do we could like try to do basketball one where we just go as rare as possible every day we try to get the rareest score we go sub a certain you want to face you want to go for rare now i think basketball would be the easiest for the whole room right yes for sure yeah i i think baseball is easiest basketball is the easiest for i think multi-team players really because i think guys play for a lot of different teams that problem with hockey it's like we didn't know who played for who swish yeah all right so we want to focus on maybe tomorrow we do basketball and try to get rare as possible i don't know are you want to do this basketball now okay let's keep doing this let's do this okay i'm having a good time i mean ricky hennerson top right so it's slam dunk yeah 99 percent yeah that's fine uh we're trying to get 100 run season batting i mean kiki hernandez obviously that's that's a no brainer you

he didn't even start of that organization i don't fucking ask him how blutman kiki hernandez surely would have been on it was my understanding we were just getting through i thought we were doing rarity he doesn't even care about like the that was too easy i thought that was too easy that has to be it was that was boring it was soccer have you guys wanted to try the pull up soccer it was a soccer i was trolling i'm sorry i wanted to try the stat pad game the one i've played a couple times on tiktok no i don't just pull up soccer let me just do soccer let's do one soccer let's do one

a what's the bottom left team teacher that's obviously valencia uh that's uh go bottom right to uh rinando torrez please bottom right please rinando torrez if we get the crew on here it's over fuck

have been who i was thinking of it's we're gonna try hero one instead i want my bed that was my bed okay all right this one's easier now this one's a lot easier now we're talking um what the fuck is that uh whole team wanderers we got bolton that one's for nando torrez albino right middle right is for nando torrez that one's for nando that's what i was thinking of far right is uh the argentinian guy uh top far right the argentinian it's not messy brandy whenever you're ready in guy um flores brandy whenever you're ready just chime in yager all right no all right socker's gonna be socker's gonna be very hard Trent alexander ornalds but w mba was i think i think the problem with soccer too is our audience likes to watch us and and as they're watching they're losing their mind they're like this one's easy however you're not getting it and i don't think they're gonna do that with soccer i think they're also like yeah this one's impossible you know what i mean no i i think the soccer ones soccer fans love saying don't fucking talk about soccer if you don't know what you're talking about so you want to you want to try soccer do you want to try oh i don't i i i have nothing i can't even mccallister that's what i was thinking i have pictures oh argentina argentina yeah well we're in an impasse i don't know what to do brandy that was the most popular sport in the world we're a sports show try stat pad you like you like that type of thing no all right do you want to do one mba for rarity and then when we're done yeah that's fine okay all right all right let's try that let's get out of here a buck a buck pacer buck pacer i mean miles turner obviously but that's not a rarity that's too obvious it's too obvious jeff t play for both those scenes jeff t i think they play for both of them i like to um uh did deli play for the box i thought he had it yeah i thought deli for for did he a cabs buck kev bucks would be deli i don't know did he play for the box i want to say he did matthew delva delva be very funny if we got this wrong off the jump yeah there we go how rare was that all right not calculating they can't even figure out they're calculating the rarity wait i've never seen oh my god did we win did we really guess oh 25 percent what the fuck was that so you gotta go you gotta go really old school right to get the rarity yeah i would think so like like you have to go like 70s or at least 80s maybe calves jazz i mean yeah like siak and bottom left is not gonna be a rare al jefferson played for the raptors wasn't in the yaw country did uh i'll jefferson played for the jaylin rose played for the raptors pacers that's right um antonio davis played for do antonio davis bottom left with cj miles antonio davis i feel like antonio davis is going to be under 10 percent bang cj miles was he a pacer yeah he was did he play for the jazz too i feel right calves jazz hot rod williams did hot rod williams play for the jazz or is he the signs hold on this i was thinking george hill for oh i like that george hill's a good one that's a good old left middle left and yeah all of that where he's a utility guy i was gonna play some middle middle oh he middle he goes anywhere george hill goes is he a free space i think he's any of the three squares that are involving the teams that we have left just not calves raptors all right so put in middle middle george hill george hill yeah hmm well done one percent there we go uh fuck we're the 10 plus rebounds a game for the let's do that calm um i mean oaster tag is that too mark eaton i would go mark eaton mark eaton's a good one mark eaton middle right he's a good one uh raptor albaily is gasol too obvious thorough bailing gasol's too obvious is box 10 plus rebounds per game for a season oscar robertson oh yeah triple double right yeah that's not gonna be rare enough not gonna be rare enough but i just got 12 percent of one i thought was gonna be in the fives um well people think oscar robertson they'll think kareem first i think kareem right right yeah uh do oscar robertson let's do that let's just see we're just trying to i'm just trying to learn what a good rarity what line of thinking robertson top right operate oh was he was he wasn't with them wasn't with them when he did the that was i that was a sabotage that was fair right well we have to go back and do this tomorrow that was fair does it have to be does him rebounds have to be with that team kris bosh 84 wow you're honest one name how is deli number one deli was the number one pick i really thought that that was a deep hole wow all right well we're learning stuff we'll figure it out oh you know what i think we try soccer for a week and we'll do soccer for a week we'll do soccer for one week is there no tomorrow when the we're in indy for the final fours there are no college basketball version at all i guess there's not it would have to be like team and then stat it couldn't be team and team or although that's a year's ago all
