Insights
  • Hall of Fame selection criteria remain inconsistent—Marv Albert received a Kirk Gowdy Award but wasn't inducted, raising questions about off-court conduct's impact on eligibility
  • Umpire accountability through ABS (Automated Ball Strike) systems is transforming baseball by forcing officials to answer for missed calls, similar to how players face scrutiny
  • Italy's three consecutive World Cup misses despite being a four-time champion demonstrates how quickly soccer dynasties can decline without sustained investment
  • Longevity and network effects (family connections in sports) can propel careers into Hall of Fame consideration even when peak performance was limited
  • The expansion of the World Cup to 40 teams and global NFL marketing partnerships show how sports leagues are experimenting with international market cultivation

That ain't right. I can't. I can't. I couldn't even keep a straight face to that one, Brandon. Couldn't even keep a straight face. Folks, it's April 1st. It's a little gag. We are live from Chicago.

Grab it at 7-11. What do you want to talk about, Brandon? I would like to talk about the basketball hall of fame. And then I'd like to talk about Tiger Woods. And then I'd like to do, because Connor said he had a crazy April Fool's joke he's going to pull. Oh. And then after that, we'll talk about some other things. Okay. And then maybe after that, some more stuff, and probably some mostly involved in there, too. And then we'll do a grid and we'll get out of here. And that's pretty much, I don't even know if we have to go through it. I think that was fine. The basketball hall of fame. This morning on Wake Up Barstool, I was put on the spot with the fact that Amari Staudemire, Candace Parker, Alaina Deladon, and Doc Rivers are among the members inducted in the Naysmith basketball hall of fame class of 2026. The question was asked, does Doc Rivers deserve to go? Now, knowing that the basketball hall of fame is not the NBA hall of fame, it's the basketball hall of fame. And it honors your entire life and career and legacy in basketball. I think Doc Rivers, slam dunk, he is an NBA champion head coach. He's six all the time and wins. His last two stops haven't been great, but that was the question posed to me and I answered it. Now I'm going to ask you a question because I see more information here from Ebo. The new candidates for, I guess this is for this year, were the 1996 US women's national team, Mike Dantony, Jamal Crawford, Alaina Deladon, Blake Griffin, Joe Johnson, Candace Parker versus Pearl. Returning candidates for this year were Marv Albert, Mark Few, Doc Rivers, and Amari Stottemire. Now I just told you Amari Stottemire and Doc Rivers have gotten in. So that means the rest of the list did not get in. So my question to you is how is Marv Albert a returning candidate? How was he not a first ballot hall of fame? Marv Albert, why am I reading him a returning candidate for all of fame? Why is he not in the basketball hall of fame? This is bullshit. I don't know. I'm asking seriously. Is it like off court stuff? I guess it has to be. He has a controversy tab on his Wikipedia page. He's got some biting allegations. Yeah, bitings. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He had a way in the bedroom, I think. Which I don't care. Yeah. Yeah, but. You've never written me? Yeah. You've never written you? Is that what's keeping him out? I guess it has to be. But if I'm thinking of Hall of Fame, the basketball hall of fame is going to use what coaches and referees and announcers and he is the most known NBA announcer ever was. And frankly, Mark Fugh's not in already? I know. Mark Fugh, as far as college basketball coaches in the last 30 years, how many are more relevant than him? Three, maybe four? Yeah. I Hall of Fame. That's Reigns culture though. I may have gotten fed bad information here. Oh no. April Fool's. That's classic Evo. I mean, according to this, he was inducted in 1996, but the article that I pulled those names from have him as not in the Hall of Fame. Is it like as a. Pranked. So, did they take him out because of his biting? Honored for his work by the Hall of Fame. This is on the National Basketball Hall of Fame website that he is a candidate. Marv Albert is in the Hall of Fame? Not in the Hall of Fame. He's in the Hall of Fame, but not? Honored for his work by the Hall of Fame. Not. So, he's not in the Hall of Fame. Maybe there's like. He acknowledged your work. Let's have him. You're not in, but your work is. Which makes no sense. Let's go to his controversies tab. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. That's probably not good at all, actually. The Kirk Gowdy Media Award. Okay. Yeah. Uh-huh. Sure. Okay. Which is not. Right. But Mark, Mark for you though. The Kirk Gowdy Award is not, is not making it into the Hall of Fame. No. That is winning the award presented by the Hall of Fame. So you're. Is that right? Am I understanding that correctly? That's kind of a good go around for Hall of Fame. Yeah. Listen, you can't be in here, but we, we like you a lot. Yeah. We like you even the Kirk Gowdy Award. We give you this little trophy. Yeah. To show you how much we like you. Yeah. Again, please do not step over that line because the member's only behind you on this side of the line. Sure. Take this trophy. But you can take this trophy and take it home and present it wherever you want. Mark for you is not in. No. All right. Well, let's. Well, let's. Helvin Samson was also a new candidate this year and he did not get it. Helvin Samson should, should, I don't know what, what, what the logic here is. Helvin Samson should absolutely be in. Uh, now let's do it. You have a case that Doc Rivers should not be in the Hall of Fame. No, I never said that he shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame. I just, I don't like him, but yeah, he's the sixth most all time and wins. His last two stops have been awful. He probably should have a couple more titles than he has. The Clippers ended very poorly. I don't think anybody will ever point at Doc Rivers and say this is the, uh, this is a genius on the sidelines. This is one of the greatest coaches, but you know, you spend two decades in the NBA as a coach, multiple organizations. You won a championship. You go to the finals a couple other times. Was a broadcaster. Yeah. And, and as a player that had a good solid, what, 15 year career, I have no problem honoring his life in basketball, even though you, you hate him because he didn't win as many games as the Sixers as you should. You thought he should have. Well, on top of that, as I pointed out, at Wakeup Arsenal, they were 30 and 13 Milwaukee was before they fired Adrian Griffin to put Doc Rivers in place and then he tanked the season after that. Plus a lot of people, including a lot of people in Boston would point out they probably should have won more than just one championship with that run. I just fucking said that. People in the room would point that out. Yeah. They have. So that's on me. I was reading up on the, on the more of Albert Wikipedia and I got a little bit sidetracked. A lot, a lot of stuff in here. But anyway, yeah, no, he, he's underachieved in some aspects, but his longevity is enough to propel him to the hall and I have no problem with it. But I just, yeah, I don't think for the past 10, maybe even like 15 years, he's been all that great. Like the Clippers, they had some years where they fell short and then especially once they got Kawhi and PG, like they absolutely should have won more than they did. And then we'd end with the Sixers and then they haven't won with the, with the Bucks so far. Nothing makes me talk about something that doesn't matter at all like a Hall of Fame. Yeah. Doesn't matter at all. Who gives a fuck? Know what? Most people don't even know which Springfield the basketball Hall of Fame's in and I think it's in a mall. So I drove past it when I was out there for the Ryder Cup last year. No shit. Yes. And I thought about going in and then I said, I'm not. And that that's how that's all underwhelming experience with the basketball Hall of Fame. I was in a rental car driving past it. I've been to it and I don't, I don't remember much about it was it was an underwhelming. Yeah. It was an underwhelming. They had like a, they had a court in the middle of it. That was cool. What's been generated about Doc Rivers is that the network of basketball family he has accumulated in terms of an NBA son, NBA son-in-law, and then the Curry family also has Damien Lee in their family. It's a very large network of good shooter. So his penis is, is part of what goes in the Hall of Fame. His penis. His penis has produced offspring that have been. Yeah. The Archie Manning Hall of Fame. That's right. Not a good player himself, but. But his penis. Created incredible player. What a penis. He's in Rivers as a, as a hated Duke guy. All right. Now we're here. Bad player, great penis. Separate the air from the artist. I'm thinking of other penises that should be in the Hall of Fame. Kachuk's penis got to be in the Hall of Fame, right? Yup. The Grandfathers? Yeah. Which penis do you take? Do you take the, the dad who was in the NHL or do you take? It's, I think it has to be the first to make it with multiple generations after. Okay. Like the boom. The Bret Boone, Aaron Boone, Dynasty, that, that, that Bob Boone, whichever the first Boone was, that penis goes in the Hall of Fame. Yeah. All right. So like somebody at the top of like the Rocks Family Tree. Oh, like the first Samoan that got in. Yeah. There's like 1000 of them. Wow. I think you could, I think you could have almost a Samoan penis Hall of Fame. Right. Because there's a lot of Samoan penises that have done a lot in the wrestling business. Yeah. The Rakesh's penis has given us the uses. Yeah. So like there's a lot of, we don't have to discriminate. I mean, yeah, it's a Hall of Fame. Right. It's got plenty of room for kids. Yeah. Right. They themselves, not that good at the, at the art, but their penis. Yeah. You can't tell the story. But wait, can you be, can you be a legendary player and have a legendary penis like a double Hall of Fame? Which I don't know who that would be. Yeah. I mean, there's some people. Del Curry's the closest? Yeah. Yeah. But King Griffey's penis. King Griffey, King Griffey was a good player. But his grandson played college football, Division I college football. Maybe count that. Wow. How about that? Mm-hmm. Something to think about. Someone argue OJ Simpson's penis if you believe in conspiracies. Go on. Yes. Are you aware of the OJ Simpson conspiracy with the Kardashians? Ah, yes. Yes. That OJ is Chloe's dad. But that's only, that's only one of the. Yeah, I guess. So maybe not his. Yeah. But his clothes, how could OJ be Chloe's dad? Well, Chloe's mom dad? So when a man or a woman. Yes, go on. Yes, when they. What if that was the one Hall of Fame they wouldn't take away from OJ Simpson? Well, we can't take them out of the Dick Hall of Fame. Grandpa Lighter, Al Lighter, Jack Lighter, Mark Lighter, Mark Lighter Jr. Yeah, a lot of Lighters. Yeah. I don't know. I can only hope one day my penis will be in a Hall of Fame somewhere. All you can hope is a father. That's all you can hope. Yes. All you can hope. That's all you can do is hope. You just. You pray. Yeah, yeah. You do your best. You put your seat out there and hopefully they make you a Hall of Famer one day. Yeah, we love talking about the Hall of Fame. Yeah. Whatever it is, whatever Hall of Fame it is. The Hall of Fame that is in the discussions. We love discussing it, Brandon. And why? I don't know. Because it doesn't really matter. And yet. And yet it. You know how we joke. We get fired up about it. Somebody like Arch Manning has a lingerie penis, but if a mom has two sons that go on to be Hall of Famers. The 1996 United States basketball women's national team. Remind me who was on that team, Evo? I want to say Brandon. Remind me who was. She has all. All right. Okay. Okay. Okay. Focus. Let's do this. I've been looking. Go ahead. Can I guess? Yeah. I guess it was the Cheryl Swoops. Cynthia Cooper. Is she too old? Yeah. Do they have pros on that team? Swoops was on the team. Lisa Leslie then. Lisa Leslie. All right. Whoa. Whoa. I'm gonna say Cynthia. Cynthia Cooper. Not on the team. Rebecca Lobo might have fucked around and been on that team. Because she was big. Rebecca Lobo was on the team. I have a take about teams in Hall of Famers. Yes, please. Shouldn't do it. I think and like if you're in because you won, that doesn't make sense. You have to be more groundbreaking than just winning. The Miracle and Ice team can be in it. Miracle and Ice team in it. But just because you won the gold medal, you're not in. That's the reason. Your reward for winning the gold medal was the gold medal. And my guess is the 96 and maybe I'm wrong. And this is what, and we love to learn on the show. So I would love to learn. I would love to learn if I'm wrong. But my guess is the 96 U.S. women's basketball team is going in because they won everything. But I would say your reward for winning everything was the things you won. The trophies you won. The medal you won. Wow. Maybe the trophies we won along the way are the trophies. Yeah. But if this was like the first women's team to do something, then you have my attention. Were these the first women basketball players? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe this is the first women's basketball team ever assembled. Oh, no, no. Thank you. Thank you very much for that clarification. Yeah. Oh, they won their third gold medal at the event. They went undefeated. Looks like we, okay. All right. All right. I'm honest. Honor code here, Connor. I say a woman on the team you say I've heard of her or I haven't. Sure. Jennifer Izzy. No. Ruthie Bolton Holyfield. No chance. Teresa Edwards. Nope. That one surprises me. Venus Lacey. Cool name, but no. Lisa Leslie. That I have heard of, yes. Rebecca Lobo. Same. Katrina McLean. No. Nikki McRae. No. Did she? I think, okay. Carla McGee. Nope. Dawn Staley. Yes, born on May the 4th. And Kaylee Sleddick. I can't see it. Kaylee Stedding. No. And Cheryl Swoops. Yes, sure. All right. But the low hit rate. I think Nikki McRae was Mr. Bestates coach. Hold on. Is Cheryl Swoops Wikipedia page? Is she wearing her pants above her? Swoops got the high pants. Hold on. She got khaki pants over her tits. That legs all the way up. What are we doing? What are you doing? Hold on. Swoops got the high pants. Wait a second. I got 1950s dudes pants. Wait a second. That's legs all the way up. She got her belt under armpits. She's got that big pants. What is that for? No way. I take back everything I said about the 96 team. They belong in the Hall of Fame for Swoops pants. That's innovative. That's all the way up. Griffin, dude. No. What? Oh my God. Oh my Lord. Look at that picture. I need a better look. What? I'm trying to get you in this fit. What? Hold on. How do we miss this? I'm trying to get you in this fit. What? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. How do we miss this? What the fuck? No way. It's like a Baptist preacher's pants. Is that the Essence Festival of Culture July 2025? Yeah, it is recent. Yeah, the legs all the way up. Why is that the picture of Wikipedia? The springtime thaw is finally here. Flowers are blooming. Days are longer.

I wanted to talk about another thing other than the Hall of Fame. Back to Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods released a statement yesterday. But more importantly, and we can read the statement, and I think we have had fun with Rick's video, we've had fun with Rap Port's video. Tiger Woods put out a legitimate statement saying, hey, I'm going to take a step back. It's serious, going to seek treatment and focus on my health. And I think everybody in the world, that's probably how everybody should have reacted when it happened. He needs to take a step back. He needs to do all this. Anyway, that being said, he put that out. More important to this show, Cam Newton weighed in on it. And now, TJ sent this to the group chat yesterday of Cam Newton weighing in on this. I, out of my love for doing this show every morning, did not watch it on purpose. I didn't watch it either on purpose. Because I wanted to watch it here. I have no idea what this video is. All I know is it's a topic in the news, and our favorite podcast, Cam Newton, our favorite podcast, Cam Newton, has weighed in on it. So let's watch it together. Let's watch it together now. All right. I can already tell. Great thumbnail. You can already tell me. You got all that money. You got all that impact. You got all that access. And you can't find somebody to drive you. All that money you got, Tiger, you can get somebody to dog on, pick you up physically and put you in the back seat. Close your door gently. Walk around to the driver's seat and operate the motor. But given the circumstances of this, we have to also. So Cam is just describing somebody driving and putting and just, you know, just the act of driving him, but he. Not only could he drive you, Brandon, he could usher you to the car. All the way around the car, step into the driver's seat, press the gas pedal and move the vehicle forward. I love when I love preaching when preaching is not necessary. Yeah, you just said the exact same thing. And they say Tiger, what no Tiger. That's some hood stuff. Because the seriousness of this particular situation is this. An innocent soul could have been impacted. But if you want to get down and dirty, drink what you want to drink, pop what you want to pop smoke, what you want to smoke. Don't just do it in the back seat and it's all cool. That's a meme right there. If I see you this picture, baby, I'm driving to you. Regardless, if I see you this picture, baby, I'm sending the wood. Put your baby. I'm trying to stick my hole in your one. You dig what I'm saying. Wait a second. I'm trying to stick my hole in your one. What do you just say? What? I'm trying to stick my hole in your one. Why not say stick my one in your hole? Technically, there is a hole on there if you think about it. Connor, not now. You can't stick a hole in something. You can't stick a hole in a one. I can't stick my hole in a one. You can't put a hole in something. A hole is a hole. A hole is the absence of things. I'm saying. Hold on. Can you put a hole in something? Dig a hole? You can create a hole in something. You can't put a hole in something. You can't put an existing hole in something. You can't take a hole and put the hole inside. There's a hole at the tip. It's there. You're talking about the one. You can throw an onion or a trash can. What do you mean a hole at the tip? That's a hole in a hole. What do you mean a hole at the tip? Everybody's got something on their thing. There's a hole on there. You have a hole in yours? Yeah. I think he has two holes in there. He comes out. You have a hole? Yeah. I don't have a hole. Technically, there's something going in there and there's a hole in that thing. Anyway. But if you were hitting on a woman. Yeah, I'm not saying that. I don't think you say I'm going to put my hole on your one. If a woman, if you're getting down and dirty with a woman, Connor, and she goes, show me your hole. Yeah, I'm not showing that. Where on the list of things you should, like your P hole is like probably fifth of the things you're showing her. Yeah. Yeah. Fourth or fifth. Put my hole in your one. I'm just trying to see him. All right. Continue. All right. Just woke up in Japan. Wrong video. I'm trying to stick my hole in your one. You dig what I'm saying? Whoa, I don't stick my one in your hole. I know you said hold the one, but you ain't got no hole. Whatever, brother. Everybody, see you this picture, baby. Uh-huh. I'm trying to get your hole with my one. Okay, there you go. You dig what I'm saying? I see you, brother. What is the reason why you think he hasn't gotten a driver yet? There's something going down in that dog on car that he don't want nobody to understand what's going down in that car. What's going on? Yeah. I'm going to put my NDA on NDA on N-D-A-A-A. What's your name? Boy, your name will be ending in woods when I get done with you. Sign that paper right there. Let me see if you signed it. Okay. You're going to see so much go down in the back seat. Woo! You're only going to tell me Jesus about it. He is the best driver in the world and the worst driver in the world. The driver? Okay. And the driver. The worst driver. And this ain't your first time. You showed 50 first time. He messed that damn car up. And then he tumbled and weaved. That's been the coolest. Crazy taxi. Man, he hit this a moment. I said bro. That mug shot will forever be the symbol of messed up. I'm trying to go like tiger tonight. Bro. If I sing you this picture, I'm messed up. I'll leave brushing him before you get down there. I don't need to brush. Nothing. I'm coming. I prefer cut at the end. What? He's the goddamn goat. What the fuck? He's the goddamn goat. I honestly, I think whoever edits those videos is the goat. I think the sound effects guys, the goat. I think the... I think they're all the goats. The like the water droplet as he's licking. That shit is... Honestly, Cam might be number three in the operation for me. I think the sound effect guy is number one. The side kick. Yeah. Which is basically the same. What'd you say? Huh? Or just repeat what he said. You said I wanted your home. A driver, huh? That's all he says. Man, what if it is... Just promise me. Before this journey of mostly sports is done, we do a Cam Newton day. Yeah, we all have to just... We all have to have moments where we're Cam Newton and moments where the side kick. I think Connor would be the best Cam. Connor, I think you would be the best Cam. You've already done it though. You did a great job when you impersonated him. We say that great for young players. Yeah. But yeah. The guy that edits his podcast clips did reach out after we reacted to the last one and said like, thanks for the love. It's how he works with Cam Newton. Yeah, I think he makes the videos. I think... There's a reason... I mean, I think the unedited... Like, the Cam's doing a podcast, right? Yeah. And there are... You could just watch the entire show. Yeah. And I imagine there's a reason why those clips are doing numbies and just like a standard cut. They really dress the clips up, yeah. Is not as interesting. He's getting into prop comp. Okay, well now that we're here, I guess Cody. Cody would be the one. The next clip we put out of us, can you do that too? Yeah. Let's give the sound effects the music. He's done it before, right? Has he? Yeah. I don't... Cody who? Cody, our Cody? Yeah. Okay. I feel like... Right, didn't we? Am I crazy? I got deja vu right now. I do too. But I don't know how... We scripted... Like, we made Brandon say something funny and then we hit it with all those sound effects. In fact, this is a... I'll be goddamn. April Fool's, we recorded the show six months ago. Yeah, we just... We got lucky with the Tiger Woods thing. We picked a story that could happen and it happened. Can I talk to you real quick? That's just me and you talking. It's not even time out worthy. Ebo's wearing too much coat today. I keep waiting for him to take it off. Ebo's wearing way too much coat. No, he was like a little cold, but at this point... You think it's a coat? At this point, it's a style choice. It's an actual vest over a hoodie. Oh, that's not a coat. I thought it was. I thought it was like a winter coat you had on. It's April 1st. Why are you wearing that much hoodie? It's a great question, Brandon. Have you been outside? You think that's cold? I went to the Cubs game last night. But that was last night. Did you really? Yeah. It looked miserable. Awful. Terrible. The best part is, a lot of offense. A lot of offense. Final score or two? By the end of the game, PCA was like... Fucking yeah. What do you... I mean, the head... Yeah. He had the whole... He had the thing over his hat. I think it eyeballed him. Isn't a cocoon is maybe the word I was looking for. Yeah. He helped me out. A whole blown cocoon. How do you watch the Cubs? How do I watch the Cubs? Yeah. No, I really don't know. Like I... Oh, with the Marquis app. Okay. The Marquis app. Okay. Does Brandon have to do that? Is he in the Blackout restriction area? Yeah. I'm in the Chicago, greater Chicago area. I had to pay for the Blackout extra. Instead of my ESPN covering it. I get a stinky game. What was that? I get MLB TV for free because of T-Mobile. Well, where do you go, buddy? Thanks. I'm still on Sprint. Shit. But you can't watch the Cubs on MLB TV, right? I believe that's correct. If you're like in the market, you're gonna get the... I get every game. Should I panic, by the way, Evo? No. Nobody should panic. We're only five games in, but like... We're one turn through the rotation. We played. We're playing the worst teams in baseball. Yeah. They're also playing in awful weather. They're playing in awful weather. The worst teams in baseball are playing in awful weather. The Angels are used to awful weather. Yeah, that's true. That's a good point. I hadn't thought about that. Considered that one. The Yankees have given up three runs in five games. Correct? The Red Sox are after a one-and-four start. They hate their team. Yeah. Cubs are what, two-and-three? Two-and-three, yeah. I've played the Nationals and the Angels. I think you're fine. Nationals? Nationals, plucky. It's great for my parlay, I will say. That's right. I have Nationals, Angels, Rockies. Oh, you're living good. All the way to the winter. So like, I think my cash out, let me see what my cash out at 20 cents was. 20 cents to win. Rockies, Rockies, my eight. Rockies are hurting me. 20 cents to win, 249,000. There's a lot of baseball left. Anything can happen, yeah. 20 cents to win, 249,000. Oh, I could cash out for 18 cents right now. Oh, okay. Yeah. So, I have them sweating. That's 90% of your original investment. Yeah, pretty good. I have them absolutely sweating right now. I just see there's a meeting later to talk about it. Yeah. All right. Anything else on baseball? It kissed me up, Evo. What's the, five games in, what's the story of the early part of the season? I know the Yankees are doing great. Um, umpires? Umpires are the story, yeah. I think umpires. I think umpires. The microscope that umpires are under has never been more focused. I think this is, I think this is the healthiest thing that's happened to baseball in a long time. For years, my only complaint about umpires wasn't that they miss calls and about officials across sports. It's not that they miss calls. They are human. It's that they miss calls and they don't have to ever answer for it. Right. They never had to, they never had the mirror turned on them and say, hey, by the way, they get to leave the field. Um, and that's it. The press doesn't usually ask them about them. I know there's a pool report in baseball, but they don't really ask them about it. Um, now if a player makes an error, spotlight goes on him. And, and now he's running his own first and it's just because of him. He has to live with it. He has to sit in it. Now an umpire has to sit in it. Right. And it's been this way for a while as far as reviews go, but now with the ABS and the, being the home plate, it really turns up the pressure to the point. CB Buckner has self-destructed over the last couple of weeks. Yeah. Have you, did you? Yeah, I saw. I saw. Be specific. Well, there was the, there was the, obviously he had the game where he got too straight, you know, strikes overturned when he was trying to ring a guy up twice. He got that. He got embarrassed. He got pissed off. And then last night he's at first base and he just botches the easiest call I've ever seen an umpire botch. Yeah. He simply calls something that he didn't see at all. Uh, there's a runner going to first for this brewers and the rays. Um, and the runner runs to the back, steps on the back. He calls him out because he didn't step on the back. And now I don't know if you've watched it closely. I would like to get your eyes on it to see if you can tell if he stepped on the back. Okay. Yeah. Let's take a, let's really go through it. So great effort. Uh-huh. Okay. So that happened very fast. Yeah. That happened very fast. Do you have a lean if you think he's, yeah, I mean, I feel like, I feel like it looked like he stepped on the back. Yeah. Cause he was running like right on the, like the bag was here. He was running right at it. Yeah. And then I, from my perspective, it looked like one of his feet did touch the bag as he kept running. And that's what you would have thought, but let's, let's, let's watch this. Never did make a move towards second base. So he's safe. Heck of an effort. When does he call him out? Does he point him out now? He did not touch first base and then was put out. So the call from CB Buckner is that Jake Bowers missed first base and then was stepped out. Yeah. Balls a call. It's a weird, it's a weird situation, but this happens at baseball. Yeah. But the umpire sees things other people all see. And I think that is the horrendous call. Where is CB Buckner looking? He's not even looking at it. Why would he even say that? CB Buckner was not even looking at the play. He stepped right on top of first base. I'm not sure what CB Buckner's looking at there. That's ridiculous. Well, I'm really excited for him to have the play tomorrow. Hmm. Everybody laughs at him. Watch the manager slap at him. How do you miss it in that manner? Wasn't the opposite how you would miss it? Like the runner didn't touch first base, but you just assumed he did? Yes, correct. Yeah. He's looking. How do you, how do you, yeah, you're not looking. I get that. He's not looking like whatever. But why would he assume he missed that? Yeah. If you didn't see the play, wouldn't you just assume the runner stepped on the bag? The easiest, the easiest way to call a game is if you miss something is because you didn't see it. Yeah. You shouldn't call something that you didn't see. Right. If you didn't see it, you just got it. I didn't, I'm sorry. I didn't see it. I didn't see that at all. But he decided, I didn't see that. So he must have missed the bag. Yeah. Since I didn't see it, I blinked as he touched the first base. So therefore it never happened. True or false Evo. CB Buckner finishes this year as an umpire. I feel like, well, I mean, false. I don't know. You don't think there's a world where I, I, I think there's a chance he could just be, be gone. I mean, the union's probably pretty strong. Didn't they take Angel Hernandez out during the season? Yeah, basically. Yeah. Yeah. If, that was a different time. If he was a right fielder that was performing at this level. Yes. Five games into the season, he would be cut, right? He, he'd have a long talking to in the manager's office. Yeah. Yeah. Like what do we got to do to get this right, man? Yeah. What, what, what, what do I got to do to help you? If you're that home plate umpire and you have to go under the hood there and have to go look at that and you see it. You do have to, you do have to. After the game, you're like, God damn it. What were you thinking? What the fuck was that? Angel Hernandez retired in May of 2024. Right. Yeah. Right. They, they took him out in the middle of the season. They said, you got it. You got to go. And I've said this before, it is so hard to become a major league umpire. Like you have to go through so many years of grinding through the minors. And if at any point your accuracy is under the marker, you drop back down to rookie ball. So if you're a triple A umpire and you call like accuracy at whatever the mark is, you go back down to rookie ball even if you've been in the minors for 10 years. But once you're in the majors apparently you're just, yeah, you have the job for life it seems. Yeah. Crazy. I actually, if I was an umpire I would welcome all of these. I would welcome maybe yes and challenge systems and everything. Yes, there are instances where you can look like a bozo. Now that one was, that one is just egregious. But uh, if someone challenges and I called her strike and it was actually a ball, I don't know if I would, maybe your ego takes a little bit of a hit, but like I like that the system is in place because now people shouldn't argue. Can't blame me. You can't argue with me ever. Yeah. Challenge it bitch. Yeah. You got a problem challenge bitch. That's just what you could say to it. You don't have to deal with people complaining to you. The one thing I think could be a flaw in the system is um, you know, you get two challenges. I guess if you keep hitting them you keep going right, but you could, you can run out of challenges. You can run out of challenges early. And if you've challenged me twice and I've been right twice and you're out of challenges, I might just fuck you the rest of the game just for the fun. Yeah. I'm just, you know what? I do hate that. I do hate that. That is, that is what it is. If you, even if you're right, you can run out of challenges. No, you, if you're right, you can go for it. You can go for it. They're infinite, right? Yeah. Yeah. But as soon as you, if you miss the first one, but you like at the second one right, you can keep going. Okay. But pass two once you miss, it's over. Yeah. Which I, yeah, I think that's fine. If you're over two. It should, should that just be infinite? It doesn't take long. Well, if it's infinite at that point, we just have Robo Oms. We shouldn't even have challenges. We would just, we would. Yeah, I guess you're right. We should just have all the Robo Oms. Some people want, some people want the Robo Oms. Yeah, you should just challenge every pitch at that point. Yeah. I don't want Robo Oms. I want to humiliate these men. Yeah. I want these men to just sit in it and stew. They've never done anything to me. They all seem like they're great people. I want a fucking rooster. You want the Robo Oms, but you do want the man to stand behind. And before the Robo Oms makes the call, you want the man to have to make the call? Yes. Yes. I, I said strike and you're like, wrong. Fucking idiot. I gotta be able to yell at somebody. And maybe that's the human error we want. We got to be able to fucking yell at somebody. We got to be able to blame it on somebody. If Robo Oms are there and every call is perfect, then your team is lost because they suck. If, if, if baseball does go to Robo Oms, Evo, do you think there will still be a man standing behind the catcher? Yeah, they did this in the minor leagues last year. Really? So I think it was either the, I believe it was the first game of every series was full ABS and there was an umpire back there basically being like in charge of keeping track of the count and plays the play. Okay. Cause that would be weird to be watching a baseball game and there's no ump standing behind the catcher. No, for the, for the image read we got to have. You got to have a guy standing there. Even if he has no power whatsoever. Yeah. Got to have, at that point he's just standing there to get hit by baseballs. Cause we put a robot there. We create a human ish robot and put him behind the catcher. What about like a celebrity umpire? If he has no power, Drew Carey, like an MC. Yeah. Or just like I host Steve Harvey just, just going off, but I would, I would do that for a Cubs game. Show me a strike. All right. We need a volunteer to stand behind the catcher. You might get a foul ball straight to your fucking face. Uh, especially the best. Yeah, but it's going to be the best scene in the house. I would volunteer for that. I throw in the pads and squat behind the catcher. You then literally baseball. I think, I think one foul tip off the mask though. I just die. Yeah. I would sell. I just, I just turned into one when Thanos snapped his hands. That's, that's what I, I just float away. They can get hit in the dick too. Is it good? I get a foul, foul ball to the dick, right? That's happened time or two. That can happen. Yeah. You got to be careful. You know, there was a brief time when I was like 21, 22 years old. I thought about trying to go to umpire school. Really? I think the Wendell Stets ran it down in Florida. Harry and Hunter Wendell Stet. No kidding. I looked into it. They had an umpire school, I believe it was in, we were one of the spring training towns, Braydenton, Tamp, somewhere down in there. Uh, it was, I think $2,500 and I didn't have $2,500 at the time. But I thought about it. Uh, you're a literally World Series guy, right, Titus? Absolutely. Have you ever gone down to the Bosco, literally a gunpire's rabbit hole? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. He's explained it to me many times. Yeah. Yeah, he's, I'm well versed in that. Um, and his stance on the little league umpires is, they're all good, good, and doing volunteers. Yeah, they're doing, they're giving away their time to do the best they can. They're doing, they're doing grunt work. No one else wants to do. Who wants to sit there in a hot summer day, get paid $0, Braydenton, throw on all that equipment just so the kids can have an experience they'll remember for a lifetime. By the way, the little league does have a sweet deal for themselves. They, they have a TV deal with ESPN and ABC and they don't pay the players or the umpires or anybody. They just, they don't pay the players. Braydenton's doing to pay the players, Christian. No, no, that's not what I'm saying. That's not what I'm saying. Oh, you should. I'm saying the deal they've got. Yeah. The little league has a product. It is made up of umpires, coaches, and players. None of those three get paid. They simply get to broadcast it without having to pay anybody. Yeah. That's actually doing it. It's a pretty sweet deal. Yeah. I would like a 12 year old to hold out though. I would like a 12 year old to say, listen, I'm transferring to Kansas if I don't get what I want here. Pay the players. Yeah. I do. They, they, they pay for them to fly in and pay the, you know, Well, I guess, okay. I'll keep the stadium and, and all that, right? Oh, yeah. Let's, let's, let's take a look at those books. Let's take a little look at those little league books. Also that, that landscaping of Lomites, God be expensive. I mean, have you seen how many people slid down it? Right. It's, it's, if you just look up from Rico Bosco umpires, it's dozens of tweets. I would have thought hundreds. Is it just literally World Series? It's just literally. It's not like major league baseball. It's literally World Series. Uh, have we done it before where you can see a pitch and you can call whether it was a ball or a strike? Oh yeah. We did that. Try that. I'd love to do that. So we're talking about how umpire and how you wanted to do it. Uh, then we did guess the pitch type too and I was the worst one. Yeah. You sucked. Yeah. I think me and Titus where I leave at. We were, if memory serves, I think I was really, really fucking good. I think both of us were like. The fucking best. Really good. And Evo was goddamn trash. Awful. Terrible. How do I play that Evo? It's a great question. I'm not sure if I remember. Okay. All right. Um, uh, well I have another, uh, why don't you read, read it out. I'll tell the people.

Um, do we want to play that game or can we talk about Italy real quick? I do want to talk about Italy, but is the game ready? Is the game ready? I would like to be the umpire. I would like to be the umpire. If any part of the ball touches the strike zone, time to test your skills. Here we go. Better up. Oh, I thought this was going to be like real. Yeah, you're right. The one we played before, that was ball. Baseball, Sivan has a game, but you can only guess the pitch type. I thought this was going to be from the ump cam. Let's guess ball. That's a ball. Yeah, that was easy. That was so easy. That was so fucking easy. Oh, that's okay. I always thought we watched that and guessed it from there. Yeah. Okay. Here we go. Okay. That's a ball. That's outside. Yeah. That's a ball outside. Yeah, yeah. It's good. This is easy. I don't know why umpires are struggling with this. That umpire called it a strike. I don't even think we need ABS, honestly. You just need us. You just need us. Oh, this one's coming from the left side. Oh, yeah. All right, so Italy has missed the work out. That was a ball, right? It was a little high. That was a strike. You thought it was a strike? Okay. You're in it. You're saying something about Italy. The World Cup of American Soccer is being held. I didn't see that. We have a perfect record going, Brandon. You can't. Okay, you're right. You were, oh, I see. I see. Yeah. That one was tough. I thought. Why'd you just dictate it that it was going to be, they're not going to do strike balls in a row, right? I mean, I don't want to, you're right. I was trying to like, give it away to preserve our perfect. Yeah. America will host the World Cup like it always does. Yep. This summer, the 40 teams are, actually, I don't know if they're set, but they're getting set. Italy will not be a part of it. For the third straight time, they have missed the World Cup. Now, my question is, are there Italian versions of us freaking out today? Are there Italian sports podcasts and sports, sports radio? Do they exist like we do? And are they freaking the fuck out? I would assume so. Yes. I would assume so. I would assume that is, uh, they're one of the greats, right? Yeah, they're one of the greats. I was going to say like the blue blood, I don't know what the tier rankings would be. Should we do that? Should we do tier rankings? So I, I, should we piss off all the soccer people out there? Well, I'm going to ask you a question. I do think that they've won a World Cup. They've won, they've won four World Cup. I know, they're only, how many countries that have won a World Cup? And they will, yeah. Would you like to name them? They've won four. Italy's won four. Either three or four. And then we're Germany's tied behind Brazil. Can you name the eight teams that have won the World Cup? Brazil and Germany, and England and Italy and Argentina and France and Spain. Seven. And, um, West Germany. Incorrect. And, hmm, like Paraguay? Close. Uruguay. Uh, no, you, are you calling me that or? Uruguay. Yes, Uruguay. Uruguay. Uruguay. Won twice, apparently. Really? Yeah. I'll be goddamn. 1930 and 1950. They were dominant in the 30s and 50s. How about that? I love it. Uh, but I think Italy is one. Italy's won four times. Yeah. Including 2006. That was the Zenith Ease of Don one, right? That's right. Yeah, the headbutt. So they've won it four times, but since then. They've been running up twice. But they have now not made it in three World Cups. That's pretty insane. Yeah. How big is this in the international football world? I'd say pretty damn big, right? This is, this is a huge deal that Italy has not made it. I don't know who. You see the Bosnia Herzegovina celebrations. They look awesome. That's awesome. Yeah. And this is an expanded World Cup. This is, uh, 40. This is like the 12 team playoff and. That's right. There's no. If the 12 team playoff had 40 teams. If the 12 team playoff did in fact have 40 teams. Yeah. No Italy. Yes, Connor. I'm looking into it. I think that the Browns, the Cleveland Browns got trademark right. In Italy. There was something. And then like the very next day, Italy lost in the World Cup. You're saying the Cleveland Browns went through legal proceedings to get trademark rights in Italy. And since that day, they have not made the World Cup. The NFL did something where they, they granted global markets to different teams. So a bunch of different teams now have, I don't know what this means, global marketing. Oh, so they're trying to plant, they're trying to cultivate which country's root for which teams. But like, look at that. Look at this. There's not really rhyme or reason. I do want to look at this. What did Italy do to deserve the fucking Browns? But Nigeria got the Browns. This is just a nice organic way to grow the game here. It is very funny. New Zealand, Australia and Brazil. I need you to get in on this. I don't really understand any of this. All right. So China got the Rams. Australia got the Raiders, the Rams, the Eagles and the Seahawks. Argentina has the dolphins. Austria. Why does Austria have 16? Right. Like, well, why is any of this, any of this? Why would China only have one team? Brazil, it looks like South America. They're really cultivating the dolphins down in South America. France has the Saints. Ireland has. That would make sense. But, but Italy also has the Saints. So wouldn't France, wouldn't you want France and Italy to have two different teams? What do you mean, Connor? You said Ireland makes sense? No, France makes sense. Oh, France makes sense. Okay. Greece has the Chargers. Japan and China both have the Rams. That makes sense. But also Mexico and South Korea have the Rams. Ghana has the Eagles. Ghana having the Eagles and Nigeria having the Browns. Wouldn't you want those to be rivals? And then UAE just. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. So Switzerland have a team at all?

I don't know how they arrived at all this. So the Browns got Italy and then Italy immediately lost. Yeah, went in the tank. People are saying that the loser franchise of the Browns, the losing culture kind of permeated, that the stank spread to the Italy soccer team. What if Italy stopped pouring resources into their soccer team and now are all focused all in on the Browns? It may be. Every resource they have is focused on the Cleveland Browns. Or all in on baseball. Second theory. Yeah, baseball. They're a baseball country now. Second theory is we basically subsidized Italy's baseball. Every player they have is an American who just has a grandparent. So does Italy need us to subsidize soccer? I think the opposite that Italy, since you're not making the World Cup, you have no use for your soccer players. Send your best over to us and help us. Great. Just give us a little bit of a boost. Let's just have a, we'll send, because we have our baseball team and then the guys we don't need, we let Italy take. Italy doesn't need any of their guys in the soccer team. Send them all over. They have good players. They have a handful of good players that we could use on the American team. Yeah, such as, you know, macaroni. Boy, RD. Yeah. Evo. Papadelle. Ballotelli. Mario Ballotelli. That's right. Is he still playing? Probably not. I doubt it. How old is he? You talking about the chef? Yeah. There was, I do know one. Yeah, Ballotelli right there. See? Who's the chef? Boy, RD. No, no, no, no. No. Ballot, there's a ballot. What's his name? Eittor, right? Boy, RD. Eittor. Eittor. Eittor. Eittor. Eittor. Eittor. Eittor. Eittor. Eittor, right? Boy, RD. No, he's, is this one? Boy, RD. Ballot. No, you hit Boy, RD. Ballot. That's why he said, Ballot. Yeah, thank you. Nolly. He went to Rutgers. He's a bad guy. Mario Batal. He's a bad guy? Yeah. He got me too at hard. I need a list. Yeah. He found it, It should be like a, oh really? Yeah. The Italy guy. So am I complicit if I eat pasta? No, he's not there anymore. Okay. All right. Yeah, are you excited for the World Cup? Bam! Are you excited for the World Cup? Um, what? We suck by the way. I heard that. We've, we've, we've been do-do in the run-up to the World Cup. Well, we got a favorable draw, I suppose. I think so, yeah, but my enthusiasm is waning as I realize. I know we suck, but like, What's a hit? We suck every, listen, there are levels to sucking. There's like the, the, the sucking, you suck, but like, boy, if our boys can just like get ready and play really hard. Tough suck. Yeah. A really tough suck. There's a fun suck. There's a, you could be a fun suck. Right now we're just like a bad suck. We're a bad suck. We're a bad suck. We're a lifeless suck. Bad sucks better than no suck at all though. Yeah, I don't. Tough suck. Was last time around a fun suck? Sure. We've been a fun suck in the past. Yeah. Right? Yeah. The Josie, Josie. Altidore. Altidore. Clint Dempsey dude. He is a fun suck. And he's, sometimes he's not even a suck at all. Sometimes you get the real thing. Yeah. Wow. But those teams, yeah, they were fun. Cause like you knew going into the world cup, she's like, we're not, I know we're not going to win. But we'll have moments. Yeah. These boys will try to start fights out there. They'll play their dicks off. You know that to be true. So you're predicting a, just a bad suck this year. I don't know. I was kind of excited cause I was like, you know, we're supposed to be the most talented team we've ever had. Our sucks better than really sucks. And I was like, we're not going to win the world cup. And I was like, maybe, maybe our boys can have a little bit of a fun suck. Right now it's just not fun. Connor, will you? We have, we have an Italian guy coaching our team, right? Do we? Boy already? Since you have the week. Boat Coutinho? Yeah. Since you have the month off from a con palm, can you, can you rank the sucks? Yeah. Yeah. I know I said on the show the other day that, you know, there's no such thing as bad pete. There's definitely a bad suck for sure. So there will be bad sucks on the list. Okay. Yes. So, such as, what denotes a bad suck to you? I'll have to mark it in the suck palm coming up. All right. All right. That's, we don't need to do that. I think we could just not do that. You know, they're opening a soccer bar around the corner from the office for the world cup. I have. You know what? Is it the place that used to have the skeleton on the motorcycle? Yeah. That's sweet. I don't know what that means, but they're turning into some sort of soccer themes. I feel like. Event space for the world cup. We're a geographical oddity in the fact that everything opens up around the corner from us all the time. Yeah. It's a big pop up. TJ, about once a week you say that, oh, that's opening up around the corner from you. I think a lot of stuff goes in and out around here. The world cup, I assume, will be at a reasonable hour for, it would be like a prime time for us. I would think so. Or no. I think it might be all day. Because one of my. But it won't be at 5am like the others. Yeah. I used to love soccer. I used to watch it all the time, but like the, the Premier League is, is during the middle of the day, Brandon. It's. Premier League is, it's hard to follow. Correct. You're, you're working basically. It's still just shocking to me that we live in the third biggest city in the country and the world cup is not coming anywhere near here. Yeah. We don't want it. Chicago said no. But we should have said yes. Chicago said no. Keep that, keep that noise out of here. I also do love that people keep citing the reason that they picked MetLife as the public transit and they're in for a rude awakening. Yeah. That was the worst WrestleMania disaster of all time when they had one out there and the train stopped running before the event ended. Literally everything that's ever had an event there is the worst transit disaster of all time. It's, it's incomprehensible how bad they. Well, it's not in the middle of a fucking swamp. That's where the final is, right? The World Cup final. Yeah. So it's 80,000 people that's paid $50,000 each. But that, the final will be on a Sunday afternoon like always, right? I assume. Yeah, I get it. Was it only on a Sunday afternoon because of where it was? It feels like every time there's a final it's the same time on Sunday afternoon. I don't know. I think. I don't know. I could be wrong. July 19th. Why, why isn't it, is it so far too obvious to have the final? So far would make a lot more sense. Yeah. Is this real? Or so far, is so far hosting games? Let me see that. What is CDT? Central Daylight. We're Central Standard Time. What's CDT? There's too many numbers. Daylight Time. Eastern Standard Time, Central Daylight Time. That's right. That's right. Eastern Standard Time, Central Daylight Time. What are you talking about? That's what the actual time zone is called, right? No. It's whether daylight, we're in daylight savings or not. Oh, really? Yeah. So when it's daylight savings, it's CDT. When it's not daylight savings, it's. Ah, that's what that means. CST. So it's EDT and EST. Yeah. I see. How'd we go to damn? No, no, no. It's CDT. No. Okay. No, no, no. Okay. You're thinking of Oklahoma. No. Yeah, you and me. No, no, no. I got no more letters. Yeah, pull that back up. I didn't even see that. I'm only going to tell you. Are the games at good times for us? Or is it going to be at like 10 AM kickoffs? I'm going to tell you, I'm having a hard time. None of that makes sense. Well, the fuck does this mean? Where is the U.S.? First of all, this thing's in America, right? So God damn it, put the month before the day. Oh, okay. No, it makes sense. We played 83. 20. Okay. So we played December 6th. We're going to play at 83 and we're going to play at 20. Oh, that's a nine o'clock. Right? Yeah. Nine o'clock on 25, 6. 8 PM, 2 PM and 9 PM. 9 PM seems late. Where is it? That's okay. That's okay. It's looking like Sunday, July 19th at 2 o'clock is the championship. Who's up there playing at zero? Third line in middle. Third line. They're playing at zero. They're playing at midnight central time? Senegal. Senegal. And that is Norway, right? I did say the times listed are... Oh, local to where they are? All scores are based off the country's local kickoff. So that's what the scoring is breakdown. Oh. So wait. So Algeria has to wake up at terrible times. I see. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah-ha. Over our scores? Ah. I assume they're using 100. Are they using Eastern time for us? 82, it said. Okay. Don't start that again. Confused. All right. So basically they're going to play the games where we can watch them is what we've learned. We'll figure out the times when the game... I'm going to be honest. Don't ever bring that fucking chart up. Basically the takeaway is like Americans, you don't have to worry if you want to watch the American team. It'll be fine. That chart kind of pissed me the fuck off. Yeah. For sure. And I don't like TJ now. That's an ample fool's joke, brother. So we kick off in SoFi, then we go to Lumenfield, and then we play again in SoFi. And Lumenfield is Denver. Lumenfield is Seattle. Seattle. Seattle, okay. We're going to need the 12 bad out there, aren't we? 12th. Who do we play? There's a good chance we don't get the 12 out there. We play Australia. We play Australia and Seattle. June 19th at 12 p.m. Okay. What day of the week is June 19th? Oh, that's a first Wednesday? 25th. Uh-huh. Because noon, we're going to have to stream during the day. The first of April is a Wednesday. So if the first of April is a Wednesday, what does that mean June 25th? That is a Friday. Friday at noon. Holy shit. Wait. That's the day before Cody's wedding. All right. Wait, so they're kicking off at 10 a.m. local? Oh, yeah, it is. Wait, it is at noon? Yeah. What the fuck? On a Friday. That's okay in the summer. I think that's okay. I think that's a national take. Like people aren't going to get a work up. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, just take the day off. Are we going to do the act that day? Yeah. I still got to come up with my excuse for missing Cody's wedding. So you're saying on that day, we might have a lot of guys in the cave while we're doing the act. There'll be a lot of guys in the cave watching soccer on that day? No spoilers. I think there's a lot of streaming planned for the World Cup. So if the US is playing, I would assume that would be one of the games we would stream. Trying to think of how that could be a spoiler. I don't know if they're planning to announce a big thing. Oh, like a big, yeah. Now you got me thinking. Because you know, it feels like you know some stuff that I don't know. So now I'm trying to piece together what it could be. At least I'm. This sports hot takes segment brought to you by Slim Jim and we have some big news to report. It's in my hand right now. Buffalo Wild Wings and Slim Jim have teamed up to create something clutch, a brand new chicken stick. This isn't your run of the mill meat stick. It's everything you love about chicken wings, packed into a convenient snack stick ready for you to take on the go. And we've been talking about this for a couple of weeks now and I still haven't on this show. Snapping to that thing. Snapped into one. So I'm going to do that right now after I get one with a little easier to open top here. So what I'm going to do is kind of work on that for me. Work on that for me and I'll tell you this isn't your run of the mill meat stick. It's everything you love about chicken wings packed into a convenient snack stick ready for you to take on the go. It's bold, tangy, mouthwatering, chicken wing flavor anytime, anywhere. This juicy tender bite delivers a big win. New Buffalo Wild Wings chicken sticks from Slim Jim. Throw it back. Good toss. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Available in two delicious flavors. Buffalo or hot. We don't rule. If the game's on, you need to be locked in with snacks on deck. So stock up for game day. I'm going to tell you a new Buffalo Wild Wings chicken sticks from Slim Jim. All right. This is the hottest take of the week, right? From Slim Jim. Yeah, anything you want to get off your chest. I'll do the hottest take. You do. I mean, I said it on Monday and I'll say it again and it has become a topic of discussion. I think the Breyland Mullen shot might be the greatest shot in the history of college basketball and people don't like that, Brandon. People don't like that. They say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up. What about Chris Jenkins? What about Christian Laneer? Yeah. What about all these other shots? Yeah. And I say, yeah, great shots. Well, fine. Chris Jenkins is one of the national championship. Chris Jenkins, he misses the shot. You know what happens? Overtime. Overtime. Villanova very well may have won it over time. Breyland Mullen doesn't make his shot season over. Yeah. Also, as you pointed out on Monday, when the ball was being inbounded, it was not going through Breyland Mullen's mind. This is the play. This is where I'm going to go. This is the shot I'm going to make. This is how I'm going to make it. It was chaos. He had to deflect the ball. He had to throw it up. He had to get. That's my take is I think an argument could be made. And in fact, sometime, in fact, I'll make it that Breyland Mullen shot was the greatest shot in March Madness history. Now I disqualified the late nurse shot because it happened for Duke. Yeah, which is fair. Yeah. So that one's out. Jenkins shots, either the answer or the Mullen shot. The Mullen shot is immediately in the conversation and the argument could be made by you that it is in fact. My argument is just the difficulty. Obviously, the Jenkins shot was bigger. It's the shot that you practice. Also, the surprise factor. The surprise factor. I'm saying if you weigh it all equally, it's a bigger shot. Now, some people say, I don't weigh it equally. What about me, Mark? I don't weigh it equally. Right. To me, what matters most is where the shot takes place in the national championship. It can't be that. You both weigh it however they want to weigh it. I put my sword down. I can't convince you otherwise. But if you're someone that's like, talk to me about difficulty, then I would say Breyland Mullen's best shot we've ever seen in March Madness history. There he is. Hey. What's up, player? What's up, playboy? How are you doing? I'm doing fine. What'd you bring for the show today? Nothing. My love. Oh, that's nice. How the gold knight's doing. I see you're on the hockey game again. You're double logoed up. You're double merged up. It made me happy away in the hockey game again. So wait. Expanse the closet. Are you guys bad? The team who has spent the most time trying to get a national hockey league is us. Yeah, we're in a playoff spot. So yeah, I don't know. We'll figure it out. I'm kind of tired of him using that stat. That's a great stat, a fascinating stat. You're not a real stat head. But the knights are currently in playoff position there in wild card one or two. We're in Pacific three. Oh, you're in Pacific three. Okay. So they're in a playoff position and they also happen to lead the league in time trailing this year. But he keeps leading with time trailing this year. What I think he should lead with wearing a playoff position. Our expectations is not a playoff position. But you can't win expectations is getting 0% of the teams that have won the Stanley Cup have missed the playoffs. Correct. Whoa. Does time trailing really mean anything? Yeah, no. When you watch night in night out. Yeah, it does. But when the team doesn't show up for 40 minutes, the first 40 minutes. What if they win the game? Isn't that fun? Yeah, more often than not they haven't though. What's their record? It's the first year they'll have more losses than wins. Damn. Yeah. I don't know what I'm talking about. Nice. Should be talking about the Saber. You know what? I tried to do that on wake up barcel and I got proved to. And they shut you down. Did you see it? Yeah, I saw it. They shut me down. They shut you down. They have this stupid little segment of teams that are experiencing hope right now. And I said the Buffalo Sabers, they're like, uh-uh. They're the best team in hockey. Yeah, but they... They're also not the best team in hockey. The abs are. Whatever. But anyway, they're way up there. They have 100 points already, right? Yeah. They are on a hot streak. They've been on a hot streak for a long time. They're a legitimate Stanley Cup contender. And this is not a team that's a Stanley Cup contender year in, year out, correct? No, and this kind did come out nowhere. Like I think the expectation this year was maybe we'll compete for a wild card spot and get going in the right direction still and have hope for a future next season. But like, yeah, they're one of the four or five best teams in the league. You were completely corrected in what you said in the Wub. I don't know why that got shut down. I think I was just on Wub with a bunch of fucking idiots. Maybe. Maybe not real puckheads. Like, not like us. Here, the Avalanche... These lashing out. I think the Avalanche became the fourth team since like 1990 or 1995 or something and beat every team in the league in the season. So that's pretty interesting. That segment, the intent behind the segment was, um, we're going to... You know, spotlight teams that, you know, spring is a time of hope. We're going to spotlight teams. April showers bring May flowers. Where's the hope for teams? I said the savers because look at where they are. They're never here. And Ebo and Connor took it as I'm going to do a stand-up act for the next five minutes. And Ebo did the Kent State dodgeball team. And Connor did the Kansas City Roo's basketball team. Please, please point to where we were wrong. These that have been downtrodden, but there is hope that they could be better. Have made a final four in 13 years, Brandon. That's not that long. It's 50% of the history of the sport. Wow. Does UMKC have hope? No. Then send Green Greg to everyone in their games next year. Literally what I said. That was the basis. He said, he said the Roo's have hope because Green Greg is in the Kansas City area. Yes. That's not real. Tell that to Iowa. He could. And Green Greg could be the fins up to UMKC of what the fins up was to LIU. Pouches up. Pouches up. I also just. If Green Greg starts going to UMKC games with a kangaroo in his belly. A kangaroo in his belly. He stows a patch into his belly. Pouch up. Is that a pouch? Was a pouch. I mean, UMKC might be the most irrelevant D1 school too. No. Lindenwood is way more relevant. Lindenwood sent guys to the FLP. He's here. Longwood. And they have a Zany court. Stone Hill. Stone Hill has. Stone Hill has. Slippery Rock. Dana Beers and Stony Brook had. I'm not sure I'm counting Dana Beers. Northwestern. Oh. Penn State. Mercyhurst. Hi. You got a question? No, no, no. I wanted to make sure I got the question. Savers have never won a cup, right? No. I believe they did back in. I could be so wrong on that before my time. Savers have never won a cup. Honestly, I don't know. Let me educate you folks. Let me go ahead and talk to you hockey boys and teach the thing or two. But Yager and Yager. Buffalo Sabers have won zero. Check to the Sport Gold Tickets. They've never won a Stanley Cup. Which is why them being in this position is such a big deal. They've won zero cup. Thank you, Mark. But Yager won. Thank you. Now you guys have learned something today. Yager won a Stanley Cup. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Thank you. Now you guys have learned something today. Yager was their captain when they won the cup. TJ, look up at the Savers. All right. Answer is zero. There's 10. There's 10. Savers. Blue jackets. He's blue jackets. Wow. I guess Yager never won. Wild. The Minnesota Wild, if never won. The Kraken. Kraken, if never won. Kraken, the mammoth, the coyotes. Maybe we call them now. Or that franchise was one of them. The Kraken. The Kraken. The Kraken. The Kraken. The Kraken. The Kraken. The Kraken. That franchise was once the. They must have won one more. Before they. Jets. Yeah, you thought there it is. The Jets. This is outdated. It's a hockey club. The QTBOP. Oh, what about? The Flames of 1-1. The 1-1 89, I believe. What about? The Senators. Senators. Saddle Dome. Yeah. I mean, does anyone else want to chime in? Yeah, I'm trying. I'm like, my Islanders. No, they won four in the show. The Canucks have not, right? Because they burned the city down after. Yeah. The Game of Seven. The Fulcrum. The Ducks. Pelicans. Show me the Ducks. The Ducks is a good answer. They definitely won one. They definitely won one. Guys, it was April 4th. Sharks won one? Sharks won one. We have 25 seconds. Sharks. Oh, Sharks. Okay. Thrasher's. That's the Jets. Not a team. The Whalers. If this is old, Panthers might be the answer. If this is old. If this is old, Panthers. Okay. All right. The Sampson's. The Neutrity Devils. I don't think the Red Wings have ever won one. Predators. Predators. I forgot about that. Right, I know her. I forgot about the Predators. Yeah. I keep your eye on them. Do you see Jerry McNamara's introductory press conference, Brandon? That get the juices flowing? That do anything for you? I did. So he did another basically Google me, I win. Yeah. He got a lot of questions. I saw a student reporter be like, hey, coach, I'm graduating soon and Syracuse never made the tournament. And Jerry McNamara, I think, gave a very political nice answer. And I think he just said, I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck. This isn't about you. Right. I don't give a fuck what happened while you were at Syracuse. Get the fuck out of here. That's what I would have said. Syracuse might be the sneaky worst job to be a coach because the student reporter, yeah. Syracuse in Missouri. You don't want to coach there. Student newspaper will be on your ass. Yeah. Did he like exclaim after he made the PR answer like, whoa, I'm dead PR answer. Did he? I don't know. Like read on the yak. Yeah. Thank you for getting the reference. I got the reference. Yeah. That's great. You're a read fan now. Really, really niche reference of a yak appearance from less than 24 hours ago. Not a fan of nobody. No, you're a fan of nobody. What about John Gruden? Now friend. Homer said he was nobody to your fan of Homer. Sure. We need a Syracuse and Yukon to play every year. We need that to be a thing again. I hope I hope Jerry McNamara makes that happen. Syracuse is falling off a little bit. Yukon is obviously a power there. They might win three national championships in four years Brandon. I think Syracuse and St. John should play every year. Syracuse and St. John should play. We got we got a. Do they do the play over here because they should. Syracuse is completely irrelevant. It's crazy right now. And I don't want them to be. And I think like rekindling these these old rivalries would be a step in the right direction. I guess you know, Bayhom was there so so long that it does. It does. You don't realize okay maybe this was just one coach. What's this program? Yeah. And you you think okay well this is how Syracuse basketball has been for the history of its existence. And I don't know the history of Syracuse basketball past Bayhom. There really isn't much. Yeah. I know they ran under him. Bing was good. That's Bayhom's roommate and Jim Brown. Yeah. I believe. Bayhom 1 1 lost one. They lost Indiana in 87 and he won the one against Kansas in 0 3. Right. Made the final four. Another one. Like oh no he lost Kentucky in 96. That's right. John Wallace lost Kentucky. Made the final four in 16. I think they make another final four. I think it feels like around 9 10 11 he was in he was in one. Am I wrong about that? He's made five final fours. So final fours were 87 96 0 3 16. What's the one I can't remember. We got a fine one. What's the one I can't. Oh the the was it 13 13. That was when we got like they lost a like they lost a Wichita. No they they beat the weight. No they lost to they lost to Michigan. They lost to Michigan in the final four which taught the mission team that lost to Louisville Louisville beat Wichita State and Michigan beat Syracuse. Correct. Yeah. Very good. There we go. And that's Syracuse basketball. Yeah. That's talking. And I saw Bayhom at Johns Oblique Street on my first trips in New York. Really. Yeah. Is he picking his nose. No me and Jake I was going to me and Jake Mangum. All right. Me and Jake Mangum. I felt comfortable. I ate at the pizza place. I thought dude. And I was like God damn there's Jim Bayhom over there. He was not killing a guy at that pizza place that day. You name someone on that team 2012 2013 on the 2012 2013. I really can't name a player name any Syracuse orange player 2013 Syracuse. With scoop. Fab mellow was not. He was gone. He was 2012. Rakeem Christmas. Rakeem Christmas. That's correct. That's correct. Hey. Wesley Johnson he was gone. That was 2010 team. Wait a second. Scoop Jardine was a good answer. Blutman. Did you hear it? Blutman. I'm going to throw out Rakeem Christmas again. Rakeem Christmas is correct. Brandon Trish. That is correct. Wow. There we go. Connor you do one. Was that Michael Carter Williams? It was Michael Carter Williams. Wow. Wow. Look at us. I thought Michael Carter Williams was going to be one of the best players in the NBA for 15 years. He was. I thought his rookie year I thought oh my god. Could I also. Why are you smirked when I said that. I was looking at something else. I want to. I want to bring up. Somebody. What are you looking at? I would. You two talk. No, no, no, Mark you're going to want to hear this. I want to bring up. Somebody else who was a Philadelphia 76ers high draft pick. Yeah. But we thought had a lot of promise. Sure. When he came to the league and then. Uh huh. Did not pan out. Yeah. Just be a lot of guys. Evan Turner. Uh huh. The villain. Said that yeah he hated Philadelphia on a broadcast the other day. I saw this. Very funny. I think it was a bit. I don't know why any athlete who plays there wouldn't hate Philadelphia. The fans hate them. Right. So, so like if you don't pan out and you don't like give them championships or give them all pro years every year they hate you. So why wouldn't you hate Philadelphia? And what world would you think that Evan Turner would like Philadelphia after his experience there. There are plenty of people who. Sure. But I'm asking Evan Turner. Evan Turner went there. Uh he was not what you wanted him to be. And you let him hear it. Every fucking day. Every day of his life. So then he leaves. And now his name gets brought up and on the internet there will be at least one Philly fan in the comments. It's like fuck this guy. Yeah. This guy fucking sucked. Turns out you can't just treat people like shit every day. And then someone was like Evan how do you feel about the people that say you fucking suck and they hate your fucking guts. And he was like I don't know I don't like them. And then you go what? What did he say? I think the entire city had forgotten about him and moved on. What's somebody asked him. And then he brings it up. He's like I hate Philly and now everybody's on it. Did he bring it up on prompted or somebody say what do you think of Philly. I'd have to go back and. We got to make John make a pick. Who you picking in this game. We got we have to. I'm picking the hometown he had some desperation and urgency. Yeah. Well I can't stand Philadelphia but I'm. They didn't ask. No no no. That's part he's an analyst. Connor he's got to analyze the game. I can't stand Phil. Yeah. He's a great song. He picked them. He's like can't stand in. I can't can't stand Philly. I got to sit. I'm just saying I would love to chat it up with him a little bit. I would want to go me to get him in here. Cody has his number. Yeah exactly. Let's get Cody on the. I'd love to know what percentage of former Philadelphia athletes can't stand Philly. We'll see. Because I bet if you did a chart around the country around the leagues the Philly's probably going to be very high on the I can't stand that. So plenty of people who decide to stick around in Philly after their careers didn't say there wasn't. Name three. Jason Kelsey. Okay. So not a count. So like legend who won a lot for you. Okay go ahead. Well Jason Jason Kelsey. Sure. One. Yeah. I got a beloved figure in Philadelphia. Yeah. Go ahead. Loves to say so much he's parading around the U.S. instead of buying his time there. What is he there was something that popped up this week masters. Yeah he's going to be doing. But it's the part three contest. I don't think you know. I'm not mad about it but like if you have cell that it's I just want to know how Jason Kelsey became that guy when the network said Kelsey you need a guy number one guy for everything. I'm not saying it's good or bad. I just like I think a lot of former athletes how did how did he how did he do it. Mac if you kind of broke the mold and is like we want kind of loud energetic guys that can that's a good answer. Good answer. Yeah. Capture the attention of people. Sure. Sure. Sure. So that's one also before we head out. That was one. Yeah. I'll come up. Sure. Yeah. I don't have him up top. Jason Kelsey dude. Jason Kelsey absolutely is one who loves one name another. Well yeah. But our point is he loves Philly because he was he was a great player and everyone in Philly loved him and he won Super Bowl and but if you're not at the top of the top of the top of the top if you're not an all pro every year or not a champion they fucking hate you and will run you out of town at some point. I just want to tell me a guy who was a role player that loved Philadelphia and yeah I'll go through the Rolodex and Tony rodent. Is he still living Philly. No I'm probably not. I just think you know personally I went out and I got an Evan Turner jersey when he was drafted by the Sixers and I was obviously a staunch anti-buck eye guy and I was like you know what I'm still going to show Evan Turner love and I'm going to give him a chance and how I know that a lot of people when he's when he's when he's not that last yeah when he struggled did you continue the love. Yeah I still I still never said a bad thing about Evan Turner. I mean I was 11 or 12. Yeah I'm the post I mean there's got to have an internal breakdown. I didn't I didn't have a Twitter. I didn't have a Twitter at this time. I mean you had a daily. I just know I wanted to be known if Evan Turner ever does come in here. I did absolutely. What is a secret what is it. Embrace him real secret real secret. I bet you were the number one Evan Turner hating Philly fan in South Carolina. No and at the time I was in in South Carolina. Yes never tweeted about Evan Turner. Never. See yeah a lot of people they were just like okay didn't work out my spaced about him. Never had a my space or name or name. The Google search doesn't bring anything either. See I'm clean. I was the Evan Turner. A trade turner. A lot of trade turning yeah. So trade Turner muff that routine ground ball so every out could be a K from Wheeler. You remember tweeting that yes. Seven likes yeah seven likes just to put some respect of here. Oh yeah the lady of winterfell is that game of the year and you're sitting Thursday with the 24 hours. She went from being on the red carpet to serving drinks at a bar in state college Pennsylvania. I love it. Hashtag we are that was an unbelievable night dude for like four likes. I was I wasn't even allowed in the bar. I was 19 at the time. I like diving in old Connor. Yeah I got that video of you from college game day. I don't know that was weird. Somebody sent me a Connor Griffin vlog from 2020. Yeah yeah I think it's yeah it's probably still up on my own person. That the Game of Thrones or not the Game of Thrones cast but the Jonas Brothers Sophie Turner Pramko Chopra. They were all there. Obviously that was the best. What were they doing there. They were a champs the best bar in state college. They were serving drinks. They were getting up on stage and performing and then I was waiting outside for six hours because I wasn't allowed in the bar. I was in of age and I was just in the back alley waiting for all that to come out and then I caught them for like 30 seconds. You waited. You waited six hours in an alley. Dude you waited six hours. Like the buzz of the alley. You waited six hours. Yeah. You didn't wait 30 minutes. You waited six hours. I'll find the video to see them walking to their car. Dude it was a massive fucking deal. Holy shit. Yeah like inside the building was the massive deal. No no but it was going around campus and like we were all it well we just rather drink in our apartments or would we rather drink outside in the back alley and champs and wait for them to come out and the excitement and the anticipation. As you're standing in that alley what's best case scenario. They come out they see you they're like oh fuck these guys in the alley party hard too I want to fucking drink with them. As they're walking out they're talking to each other like I'm gonna have sex with the next guy I see. No. No. And you're just waiting in the alley.

Yeah because it was a big fucking moment I wanted to get a. Right there right there what do you notice so far about this video Brandon. All of the screams and people I can see are young ladies that's right that's right yeah that's right I noticed that and the screams Connor yeah but I mean a guy isn't going to be screaming like that they're just there to witness are they are are they not. No okay I mean I'll scream but I'll scream for Sansa. They were there for the Jonas Brothers yeah. I mean I'm not gonna be screaming like that they're just there to witness are they are they not. No okay I mean I'll scream but I'll scream for Sansa. They were there for the Jonas Brothers yeah but the guys were there for fucking Sansa. That was it. See I was yelling over to Sophie that was so much worse than I thought it was. The North remembers. Yeah the North remembers. I did yeah. Why do you still have that. I went back to my camera roll from 2019. His haters. But why. There were so old. You yelled the North remembers. I did I was trying to get her attention. That is so much more I thought that there was like a chance that she'd hear you. No I was I was too far away. So much worse than I anticipated. There were so many I didn't realize they were going to be there for the Jonas Brothers I didn't even piece that together. I didn't either. I thought this was all about Sansa stock. No no. This is just the women I didn't know the Jonas Brothers. I must have missed. The Jonas Brothers were performing in the bar and they had all of their wives with them. So Sofaterna was there. Pianca was there and then Kevin Jonas's wife was there. Why do you why you also when we pointed out the women were yelling you were like oh no I wouldn't do that. I said yeah and then here you are. The North remembers. No but I'm not going to be yelling. That was worse. It might be worse. But no I'm saying in terms of what you hear you're not going to hear men shrieking like that. Obviously the women are going to drown out whatever guys are in the audience. It's a video you go home and you watch back and you're like yeah this was a dog like this is dog shit. You can't really like it's why you save that for 10 years. I didn't release it. Also one more one more thing. I have my own personal where what do you mean your own personal. What does that mean because it was a very like awesome night where I was like holy shit like that. That's a national that made national news. The Jonas Brothers. It's a dog shit videos what I'm saying. Yeah it's not like I was watching it for content as if he's in that alley and they come by. You're forgetting he stayed in that alley six hours to get that shot six hours six hours for that shot. I'm saying you stayed for the shot. That was the shot you got. I would have been like yeah bad shot. I don't need this video. This is a bad you save this video because it means so much to you. You've transferred this video over multiple phones I assume. Yes you get a new phone. You want to make sure the cloud transfers this video remembers you have to you cannot lose this video. I have this is why Ram is so expensive. I think it's kind of has to save this video. I was watching videos on my phone. I would like to watch it again. Well thousands. This is insane. They were rumblings on campus all day. I think the Joe's brothers and the wives are coming here. And so we went to investigate. I'm sure enough they were looking at the bar. See their bunch of dudes. How free is it right there. You can't see her. This is this is a video of you. You're taking a video of people taking a video of a van as you're yelling the North remembers. Yeah sorry. I don't know.

Nothing in particular for me but it brought a lot of like really cool. But you didn't love seeing her in your team's jersey was fucking awesome. Yeah. You don't you don't do something. Do you weed out like bad pictures and bad videos. Like when you're when you're 60 years older you're going to have just a trillion videos. Yes. I got to be honest I am too. I don't hear everything in my life. You don't delete anything. Is it my camera. I got videos of me fumbling around trying to find something like that. All right. Maybe I'm the weird one then because I don't have dick from you do we got video. Yeah.

He's like, yeah, I can't really get it. Yeah, but you had to stitch it together to prove to the video watcher that she was there Cuz watching your watch it.

He was Okay He's scared a castle We're talking about league and points league and points dude. It's fuck me. It has to be fuck me Brandon we have we have to pick one of the two answers Bobby or yeah, yeah, I'm a yager every time we do Bobby Who else could it possibly be Brandon? Yager? Yager's out. Okay, then Bobby or but Who it's not tell me who it is Bergeron Tom Bergeron's Idiot Also, he's banned from the show brand from the show the horses or yager It's can't be yager has to be for that team doesn't it? Yeah, you played for that team You don't think yager could have led the no, I'm not trying to sabotage. I'm telling you you're you're I agree with you I thought all this might be there might only be a 30 chance of yager But who the fuck I don't know Bergeron. I think there's a zero percent chance of yager. Okay, bobby or then Bobby or is burned is so many times. Hey, this is what I'm saying. So look, you know what? You know what? Let's just not do it. Let's just go eat lunch Go lunch and Brandon hit. Let's go eat fucking lunch. We're gonna pun. They give up pun on this We have to say I'm gonna ask you a question. Is it possible Bobby or Didn't ever leave never made like a thousand points. I think he's gonna play long enough But what if you had what he led like he was a defenseman. It wasn't a juice puck era It was he led the league in points. He doesn't have a ton of points over the course of his career But there were one year. He had one year where he led the like 71 points and led that was enough to leave the league I think he's burned us on goal score. I guys. I think that's probably the better play bobby or bobby or Things are only play. I don't think it would be a good number for bobby or I'm on board. I swear. Can I just say this? I swear to god if this is yager. It's not yager Okay, if it's not yager, then I can cut your head off If if yager if yager would have worked if we you know what yager would have worked I can cut your head off if if if yager would have worked you can cut my head off.
