Summary

Mark Titus and Brandon Walker discuss March Madness readiness, college basketball tournament implications for Miami of Ohio's undefeated season, and debate whether the team deserves an at-large bid despite weak schedule strength. The episode features gameplay from NCAA March Madness 08, college basketball analysis, and various sports topics including golf, hockey, and NASCAR.

Insights
  • Undefeated records alone don't guarantee tournament inclusion—strength of schedule and quality wins matter significantly in selection decisions
  • Conference tournament automatic bids create perverse incentives where regular season dominance can be negated by tournament performance
  • Mid-major teams face structural disadvantages in scheduling power conference opponents, making resume-building inherently difficult
  • Fan engagement and superfan culture can be commodified and honored by institutions regardless of authenticity or consistency
  • Sports technology and operations (lights, horns, lead vehicles) create unexpected failure points that can dramatically alter competitive outcomes
Trends
College basketball tournament selection increasingly scrutinizes NET rankings and quad-based wins over raw recordsMid-major conference tournament formats (seeding advantages for top seeds) gaining adoption as alternative to single-elimination modelsUndefeated regular seasons becoming rarer and more valuable as scheduling complexity increases across college sportsSports venue operations failures (UMass hockey lights, horn malfunctions) highlighting need for better technical redundancyAthlete personal brand building through social media creating new forms of fan engagement and monetization opportunitiesNASCAR ownership by non-traditional sports figures (Michael Jordan) driving mainstream media coverage and legitimacyWorld Baseball Classic gaining prominence as international sports competition model competing with traditional domestic leagues

I'm Mark Titus. He's Brandon Walker. It is Monday. And, boys, it's March. Yeah. It is March 2nd. We are live from Chicago. and Brandon Walker is playing NCAA March Madness 08. Jamar Butler with the Monster Jam. All right, all right. I just got to – I'm playing until you make a shot. Brandon has put me into the game. I'm playing until you make a shot. He is – he's making me look like a fucking bozo. No, I don't know the shot button on EA Sports. I always play 2K on this. Rebound. Look at that, dude. Go coast to coast. Just go coast. Dunk it. Dunk it. Dunk it. You can't get past your man. Oh, my God. Rainmaker. Oh! Oh! Go to the replay. Oh, my God. Instant replay. Replay that. Did you see that shit? That was crazy. The Rainmaker. Oh, my God. That actually happened, too, by the way. That was just a real clip. We're 34. Okay. All right. Let's maybe get a little zoom out. Here we go. Here we go. Doesn't know where he's going. Oh, tick in his mouth, too. Oh, my God. Wow. That was over three guys. Shit. I didn't know you had that in. Wow. You can do that work? You told me on the game that they made you a slasher and a dunker. Yeah. I can't shoot for shit, but I can dunk, yeah. You're fucking good. What's the EA Sports tagline, Brandon? If it's in the game, it's in the game. So there it is. That happened. That happened. I had that in my bag back in the day. So that was two ninths of your entire career scoring, correct? Two ninths? Is that a word? I think you said two ninths. Two ninths? Two ninths? It's two ninths. I think I might – I'm going to set your career high whenever the show's over. Are you going to – You want me to keep playing? Not now, but what's your plan with this? I'm going to play a season with Ohio State. And the goal is for Mark Titus to be the National Player of the Year. I don't know how many you're going to have to average. That's you right there. Look at those arms. That hairline. Look at the definition. Boy, they really – I mean, that's you. They nailed it. That's the guy who like me. Can you pull up the Mr. Rainmaker video and do a side-by-side with his player character really quick? Oh, holy shit. Holy shit. Yeah, yeah. That one's the real mark. Wow. This thing – video games peaked in 2007, huh? Now, I foolishly went out and bought this one because this is the one I always played, right? And thinking you were going to be on the game, and I turned it on this morning and you weren't on the game. I'm not on that one. You're not on that one. But then you had this one conveniently over in your box, and you put it in, and you're on this game. Yeah. I don't think Greg wanted me on his game. Okay. All right. I think that's what it was. Greg specifically asked, is that 2K? Yeah. Yes, 2K. But KD was like, give them to me. Yeah, yeah. I'll take them. Yeah, put them on my – make them dunk. Do you want this to just be on the image or this or whatever? It doesn't matter. Yeah, I mean, we don't really have – Can you rewind it at least? Like put the – Oh, do you want the dunk? Yeah, like have me hanging on the rim at least. Like, yeah. You're like – Get the dick in the mat. Yeah, right there. Right there? Yeah. Yeah, hit select. Select to hide. Yeah, there we go. That's awesome. It's March. I mean you got balls on his chest I don't mind that being the permanent background of the show this is March right there look at all the bench players that never get in the game watching you does do something for you Brandon I would imagine it would I know that's not me but at the same time whenever I still have recorded when I would go to like when I would go to a TV event or something in 1999 and it showed me for a second i could still go right to it if i was on a fucking video game and you could dunk like that dude a video game are you kidding me that's that's sick i gotta dunk again you really do i gotta figure out you're in shape you ought to be able to get close but i mean getting close is worse than not yeah i don't think you can do this i don't think i can do that either i haven't tried in a long time so i don't know how bad it is but i'm guessing i've lost it you want yeah you want me to dunk again sure i mean it's not i don't know if i'm gonna get better than that this is like uh i feel like the opening of space jam now because i'm gonna go back out on the court yeah i feel like i just watched space jam again where i was a little kid and i just like looked up at the rim and i was like i'm just gonna go fucking dunk like the little kid in space jam i think i'm gonna do that today i'm gonna walk out there and tear my achilles trying to dunk and i'm gonna walk in i believe i can fly I believe I can touch the sky Think about it every night and day It's a remix to Ignition, Hot and Fresh You're a big R. Kelly guy, huh? I used to be. I don't have a great track record. Now you're a really big R. Kelly. Now I'm a huge R. Kelly guy. Now I'm a beauty R. Kelly. Don't love his music, but the man? Huge fan. I celebrate the guy's entire existence. I separate the art from the artist. So that way I can enjoy the artist. I mean, you joke, but you were in high school, right, when a remix to Ignition hit? Yeah. I mean, come on. That song was on every... Every time I got in the car, I found a way to listen to it. Yes. You have to listen to it at least one time every time you get in the car. It was hot and fresh out the kitchen. Yeah, it sure was. And yeah, by Usher and Lil Jon. That was every other song. Was the original Ignition a song? Nobody knew it. It was the remix to Ignition. Right. It was out there. He was referencing something that none of us knew. Correct. He was like, this is the remix to Ignition. We were like, okay. What's Ignition? You know what? I'll bite, R. Kelly. What is Ignition? But the remix was better. It was damn good. It was like when Street Fighter II came out, and everybody was like, where was Street Fighter I? I'm not even aware of what that was. things that start with the two or the sequel pretty good final fantasy is the same one what final fantasy i feel like they started at like seven yeah i thought four i believe is the first one i remember final final fantasy but then again if the first one was the final one how how they have so many sequels hey mark lines traded david montgomery really to whom whomst houston oh that's not the right screen oh houston for what a fifth round pick don't try to make sense of NFL trades I was gonna say that that feels so disrespectful but I also don't understand NFL it's also a running back is probably at the end of his uh the tread on his tires at least they think so I don't know it seems like he's got a lot more but I mean two years ago he was great last year Jameer Gibbs really really sure distance himself um are where's the where do you draw the line for valuable picks in the nfl i think like obviously everything after third i obviously first rounds the most yeah i understand that i just uh you know like in the nba a first round pick great second round pick it's just the throw in just so where where does it start to just be like i don't think fifth fifth round picks are real they change yeah Fourth-round pick. Everybody. And Juice Scruggs. Oh. Oh, fuck. They got Juice Scruggs? How did Schefter blow that? What? Updated compensation. Oh, maybe. Updated compensation. Yeah. I mean, things change quickly in the NFL, and I'm sure it's that the terms change. It's not that Schefter's just a bozo with just fucking the bozo scoops guy. Do you see Schefter just clearly working for an agent this weekend? Yeah. When Carnell Tate ran like a four, people thought he ran a 4.5 or something or whatever, and then he came out and said, actually, he ran a 4.45 or something like that. Like that's just, Schefter, sometimes we can see the agent actually grabbing your phone. Yep. Anyway, hey, Mark. How are you? Hey, Brandon. What do you want to talk about? I never remember. What month is it? April. That's when the final four is. The final four is then, and we sleep in May. Have we never given the NCAA basketball tournament grief for the fact that it does end in April and we call it March Madness? It's March Madness. Well, the Madness is in March, and the final four is no Madness. That's a rule. Ah, so the final four is strictly business. Final four is strictly business. March Madness is really the first weekend, right? Yeah, for most people I would say, yeah, that's the way. Yeah, I feel like that's the – and if something grabs hold of you you stick around and watch the second weekend that seems to be how most people operate I've been surrounded by idiocy this morning, I had T-Bob to my left I was looking at Dave on a Zoom call what do you make of Miami of Ohio because it seems like they're the hottest discussion point in college basketball the bubble, Auburn took a big tumble this weekend the bubble is kind of seems weak, you guys took a big step forward big step forward, I think we're off the bubble anymore. I think we're firmly in. 9 seed, 8 seed maybe? 29-0 Miami of Ohio in the MAAC. They played zero quad one teams. I believe they played one quad two team, maybe two. They have no resume to speak of outside of being 29-0, which is an incredible resume. So, where do you fall on this discussion point of how they should be treated? Yeah, like the hypothetical if they lose in the MAAC championship or somewhere along the line in the MAAC tournament. Should they still make it in as an at-large? In sports, winning takes more than talent. It takes strength, reliability, and the drive to go the distance. Sound familiar? That's the same DNA you'll find in a Chevy Silverado. As capable and dependable as a winning team, Chevy Silverado shows up and gets the job done. It won't flinch when the pressure's on. It doesn't take plays off. When it comes to trucks, Chevy Silverado is football guy approved. To learn more about Silverado, visit Chevy.com. I don't think it's even close. No. I don't think they're even close to one of the best. Because they don't have – Well, it's not even the schedule. It's like when they play the schedule, they're not exactly convincing. It's not like – They beat 10-19 Western Michigan by two points. Yes. I'm not even – because Miami people will tell you we can't play the big boys. That's what people in their shoes always do is they're like, listen, we tried. We called everybody. We want to go play. But other MAAC teams played a lot of teams. Yeah. Somehow people want to play the other MAAC teams, but not Miami. They're scared of Miami. That's what they'll tell you. And all that's fine and well, but then when you play an easy schedule, then just run through that schedule. We've seen this before. We've had plenty of mid-majors through the years. Line them up and knock them down. This is not the first really good team that's won 30 games in the regular season playing a week schedule. The difference being a lot of those teams were smoking the inferior competition, like not even close. And Miami's not doing that. And I think that's where – They've won a ton of close games. A ton of close games. And to their credit, they're winning them. Yeah. I think the difference – so, like, I advocate for the little guy, and it feels like I'm not in this situation. But I don't – I always want, like, little guys in the NCAA tournament. I don't want a situation where, like, you know, the powers that be take a look and are like, what are we doing letting the swag in this thing? We got to – like, that would actually upset me. I'd be very upset about that. But what makes this different to me is that there is a mechanism in place for Miami of Ohio to make the NCAA tournament. They could put this to rest, and it's not even a discussion. Yeah. Just win your conference tournament. It's not even a discussion. So, like, I don't think they need special protection as, like, because that's always the follow-up is, like, well, I would rather see Miami be in the tournament than, you know, like Auburn is the one everyone's talking about because Bruce Pearl went on TV and shit all over Miami. I would rather Miami be in than some mediocre team like Auburn, and that's all fine and well. And then Miami should just win their conference championship then. Because Auburn's better than Miami of Ohio. They played – like every Miami alum that works here would bet on Auburn. If you make them do a money line bet, they're going to take Auburn to win that game. Auburn's an interesting case. They're now 15-14, 6-10 in the SEC. I'm not sure you can make much of a case they belong in, but when you put them up against Miami of Ohio and Auburn played, I believe, the number one strength. The hardest schedule in the country. In the non-conference, they were just going out and playing everybody. One of the talking points everybody says is, well, they played – what more do you want them to do? They played everybody on their schedule. They beat everybody on their schedule. Well, what more I want them to do is schedule somebody. Yes. Schedule somebody that makes it matter when you actually beat them. But let me throw this idea at you. Let me throw a curveball. The mechanism and the system we have could, in theory, if this team goes 18-0 in conference in the regular season, they then lose their spot because another team goes 4-0 or 3-0, or however many of the games they play, probably 4, 4-0 in their conference tournament, and that supersedes. That's kind of a silly system, but that's the system. It's the system because that's what the MAAC decides. You know that the conference tournament champion does not have to be the automatic bid, that the conference themselves can do it however they want? And the Ivy League for a long time didn't even have a tournament. The Ivy League would just – the Big Ten didn't have a tournament forever. I didn't know this. The auto bid is up to the conference? Auto bid is up to the conference. If the conference – like, they wouldn't do this, but if the conference just decides that next year – if the MAC was like, next year our auto bid is just going to Miami. Yeah. I imagine all the other schools would be pretty fucking pissed off. Right, but they could do it. But they could do that. So, yeah, I mean, if the MAC really wanted it, they could step in and be like, listen, I know Toledo got hot and won the MAC championship. Sure. We're going to send Miami instead. They're not going to, but that is available to the conference. But I guess when you get to the smaller conferences, having the bid up for grabs in the tournament is the best way to do business. Yeah. Because that's what's going to sell. But that's why what you just described is why the WCC does it this way. Who else does it, Ibo? The Sun Belt? Sun Belt starts like today. But they do the absurd brackets. Yeah. And they do it that way because if you are one of the better teams, we want to reward you. They're taking care of them. And we want you to go to the tournament because you have a way better shot of actually getting a win in the tournament than a team that just got hot for the conference championship. I believe the last place teams in the Sun Belt have to win six games in six days where the top teams only have to win two games in two days. Yeah. Yeah. So, I don't know. Now it's a big deal this year. I hope Miami makes it. I hope they go undefeated. Because I can't sit here and honestly argue that Miami is deserving of an at-large. I've tried. I'll try it right now, actually. I'll show you what it looks like. Real quick. Hey, Mark, what do you think about Miami getting a large bid? Oh, boy. He can't even bring himself to... Wow. I can't do it. Ah! In sports, winning takes more than talent. It takes strength, reliability, and the drive to go the distance. Sound familiar? That's the same DNA you'll find in a Chevy Silverado. As capable and dependable as a winning team, Chevy Silverado shows up and gets the job done. It won't flinch when the pressure's on. It doesn't take plays off. When it comes to trucks, Chevy Silverado is football guy approved. To learn more about Silverado, visit Chevy.com. Past five seasons, there have been 182 at-large bids awarded. Only 12 of those were 50th or lower in the net on March 1st. Miami's 52nd. Rutgers was 81st yeah we lost to like UMass and Lafayette and but then we won against the number one ranked team in the country and five straight top 25 teams or something like that and our consolation was to lose in double overtime in Dayton against Notre Dame yeah and I imagine every single one of those teams had a win like what you just said every team on that list probably has a top ten. A tentpole win they can point out and say, see, we can compete with the big boys. Yeah, if you put us in the tournament, we have what it takes to compete with the big boys. Well, my big thing is Miami is leaning a lot on this theory that you've already said, which is oh, we try to play these teams, but we can't do it. They won't play us. That doesn't stop everybody else from that conference and playing everybody. Yeah. I feel like, and I said this a couple weeks ago, that MAAC teams just kind of forever exist to go to Michigan State on a Tuesday in November or go to Michigan on a Wednesday in November. These things are... What happened to your dunk? There's no signal. We better get some fucking signal. Well, don't reset it. Is it a turn off? What happened? It turned itself off? Did we lose the dunk? No. Well, we got a screenshot. We should be able to... Oh, no. Are you fucking kidding me? I think it just went idle. Just lost the time. This was the worst screen back in the day. Oh, no. It's working. Oh, well, this was the worst. Having to wait to see Oh, is it coming? Y'all want to hear him say, EA Sports is in the game now? Yeah. It's going to be awesome. Put the mic up to his face. These are plugged in. You got time? Where's the speaker? I don't know. Wait. He didn't say it. It went straight to the screen. All right. Yeah. All right, TJ, come pick some mic. All right, now. Is this here? All right. That's Ken. There we go. All right, turn that shit on. GameCube had the best loading. Did it? I thought the animation and noise. This one was good. In terms of console loading, I thought GameCube had the best. PS1's my favorite. I never had... That was the... Right? Brrrow. PS3's is good, too. What's PS3's? It's like an orchestra. It's like a 12-piece orchestra. Ah, yes. What? What'd you say? PS5 just kind of turns on, huh? Bring! Sound like that. Oh, okay. What side were the Wake Up Barstool guys on? in Miami. You know, Dave, not an intelligent guy. He's one of those, they're 29-0. What more do they have to do? And it's one of them. Which, again, if they are undefeated, they will be in the tournament. You don't have to discuss it. No one's leaving out an undefeated Miami team. Yeah. And it's also a little bit telling that so many people can see it coming. Yes, that's what I'm saying. do you remember this happening with Wichita State? Yeah. First of all, they were smoking teams they were playing, but also the idea of now they're in a lesser conference. No, because you're like, they're going to beat everybody. They're very good. They also beat three NBA players. They have a lot of conference, right? Yeah. They have three NBA players, that Wichita State team. Clay Anthony Early, Fred Van Vliet, and Ron Baker. Ron Baker, yes. Ron Baker. So, I don't know. But having said all that, I weirdly am cheering for Miami. I don't know. It would be cool for them to go undefeated and be in the tournament and see what they can do. Let me throw this idea at you. It would be really fun to have an undefeated team in the tournament. Let me throw this idea at you. The prep sheet today on our Wake Up Barstool had Matt Tanton, the producer, said the big three are Duke, Michigan, and Arizona. Now, listen, over the weekend, all three of those were on full display. Michigan with a huge handled business on the road at Illinois. Arizona got their win back against Kansas. and then Duke handled Virginia. Yeah, Virginia. Very good Virginia team. So all three were showing their might. I don't believe there's – looking at it, I don't know if there's a big three right now because nobody's playing better than Florida. Florida since January 1st has been incredible. They're way up there. And maybe I'm too high on this team. I still think Houston's going to be a force to be reckoned with with their ability to play defense and the fact they've got a shot maker in the tournament. They have lost some games recently, but I don't see a big three. I think you go all the way, and then you've got UConn hanging. UConn. UConn with a two-time national championship coach hanging out right behind the top five. I think it's open at the top. A little bit, yeah. I mean, maybe Drieskin and Duke are a league above everybody else. I felt like this weekend was sort of a separation weekend. Yeah. I felt like Duke, that was the biggest game of the year for Virginia. Virginia has never been more motivated to win a game than this weekend. If they beat Duke on Saturday, I think they were tied atop the ACC standings. They lost by 26 points, Brad. Yeah. Against a Duke team that's kind of running out of things to play for. They smoked them. Absolutely smoked them. Arizona, same sort of thing, that Kansas is a little hungry. Arizona has a one seed all but locked up. They won by 23. I'm with you, though. Florida is rolling. Florida beat a pretty good Arkansas team by 40. I agree with your idea that it's not just three teams, but I don't necessarily agree that it's not – it's a lot of nots. I don't necessarily agree that it's not – now I've confused myself. I think it might be top-heavy. You believe there's more than just three teams, but those three teams still deserve – Whatever the group is at the top, however many are in there. Yeah, they're the best. They are by far the best. Would you put Florida in that group? I would put Florida in that group. Because Florida started poorly but has turned into that. I would put Florida in that group. Would you put Houston or UConn? UConn. So you think Florida's the end of that group? UConn is tough because I've struggled with them all year. I do ask myself, like, if they had different uniforms, you know, how would you feel? If they hadn't won two titles a couple years ago, but they had, and you have to work with what you know. Yeah. I think I'd have to put UConn in there, but UConn has rarely looked like a national championship caliber team. Right, but if you get in the second weekend and you're a really good team and you look across and UConn's there, that's not a logo you won't see on the bracket. Yeah, but if UConn was Creighton and everything they've done this year is the exact same, I would tell you no. I would tell you that they're not consistent enough. They smoked St John and then they followed up this weekend I mean they did beat Seton Hall but they went right back to letting inferior Big East teams hang around with them So I don know But I do think throughout the season I wanted to tell myself it's been an incredible college basketball regular season. It's been so good. The scheduling has been awesome. Even tonight, every big Monday is hit. There are going to be two great games tonight. But I've tried to convince myself that it's not going to be like last year where last year we had four one seeds, but everyone saw that coming a mile away. All last year, it was like, there are these teams at the top, massive gap in everybody else. And I feel like after this weekend, I'm starting to go. The same things at play? I'm starting to say that maybe the same things at play. Because you're looking at the next tier of Illinois just every time. Like, Illinois did not. Every time. Every time. It feels like every time with Illinois. Every time Illinois is playing an elite team, it just doesn't come together for them. Purdue as well? Purdue, the exact same thing. When they're playing the elite teams like your Iowa State, your Michigans, your Ohio State, Purdue just loses. And then the SEC group, like Alabama can't defend, Arkansas can't defend, Tennessee just never does it here. Arkansas was a team I feel like people were hot on because of Darius Acuff and Billy Richmond's been playing great. They have a lot of talent and a lot of athleticism, but then they lost by 34 in Florida, Brandon. They did. I think you can sell Arkansas. all what's all that what's all that laughing out there i don't know i think it's t bob yelling at carson to shut the fuck up if i had to guess you know what we never we never really reconciled on this show when wake up barstool and all their staff got hired they just took y'all spots out there yeah they just took your table we used to have a nice we used to have a nice corner of the office where you guys worked outside and we worked in here and they just took it and now we have to hear t bob talking uh flirting with carson the whole fucking show i actually use this as an opportunity to move to the country. I live upstairs now. Yeah, you do live upstairs. In the peace and quiet. Connor lives with the women over there. Yeah. It used to be I could be typing on my little laptop and then I could take a peek in and I could see Brandon and his cute face and everything and now I can't do that anymore. No, you're way down there. Way down there. You're down there with Lukey Blutman. Yes, I am. Yeah. Yeah, they didn't just take over that spot. They also just dispersed all of our guys. Cody got moved too. Our guys are not a cohesive unit anymore. No. That was Ivo's choice. And I think that's kind of showing. Ivo, did you want to go upstairs? Yeah. I find it more – well, I have crippling attention deficit disorder, so this is too much stimulus down here for me, so I need to go upstairs. But I feel like the chemistry between you and Connor is taking a nose down. Oh, really? I barely – I was in the chat on Saturday. That he was. I was hanging on the chat on Saturday. How was Saturday? How was the pay-per-view and then also – I had a great time. You're sure, O'Connor. Other than the fact that this tall motherfucker wouldn't quit standing up in front of me. You had a tall guy in front of you? Yeah, Giannis Antetokounmpo. Giannis Anastas, brother? And Thanasis. They were both there. Yeah. I don't know what it is about WWE. They put me behind the basketball players every time. But anyway, I had – it was Little Yachty, his group, the Antetokounmpo's, their group, Michael Chandler, and then one of Logan Paul's guys, and I don't know his name. Mike Majlack? Who's Michael Chandler? I know that name. UFC champion. Former Bellator champion? Say his name. Mike Majlak? Is that how you say it, TJ? Show me that guy. Show me that guy. Mike Malak? Was he wearing a hat? Show me that guy, and I'll tell you if that was him. That was him. That was him. Mike Malak? That was the guy. Looks like X-Pac, yeah. What? Great, great thumbnail. They measured, what did they measure? The world's biggest YouTubers. Oh. This guy was sitting in front of you? Yeah, it was the whole row of people that were important, and then I was on the row behind him. Okay. And Giannis would. Anyway, did you see, we can't play it, but did you see him Punk's intro the other night? I didn't see anything. He played the, they did the Bulls 1991. Oh, yeah. That's cool. It was awesome. It was so cool. Me and Titus were watching. Did they have a video element to it? Or no, just the music? Just the music. Oh. Just the music. Because that was part of the. But they went and got the announcer too from the 90s, Ray Clay. Can I tell you something weird? So I watched Florida, and then Gonzaga, St. Mary's came on after, and then went to SportsCenter, and I haven't watched a lot of SportsCenter lately. It was very odd, the partnership of ESPN and WWE, where it was like they did it like it was a real sports hit recap on SportsCenter, which I thought was kind of odd, where they were like, this is actually happening like a basketball game they were recapping or something. I don't know. So ESPN's been trying to treat it almost as if it's like a real sports, like, staff update, and I don't think that's the right way to treat the play. It's not the right way at all. That's really bizarre, actually. Yeah, they did it like a highlight package, and then they, like, went to the star of the game, Randy Orton, and interviewed him. Like, Randy, that was a great performance. Like, what was going through your brain, blah, blah. Oh, that's what they were doing. Yeah. They brought out, like, a microphone for him in the ring afterwards. Yeah. When I was playing defense for my chairs. If you sit on the front row, or if you're sitting down on the floor, you get to keep your chair. But as soon as the event ends, the Hawks, the Vultures. Oh, my God. Oh, they're coming. They're coming. And I ended up, I gave mine to a kid because I'm a great fucking guy. But I had to play defense on my daughter's chair. Was it your kid? No. Oh. No. I took my daughter and her friend because I'm a good guy. But you got the chair. You have one singular chair. I have two chairs. Well, I got one chair, yes. All right, cool. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. Brandon swung by after he left the United Center to come here. It was great. It's a cool chair. That's an awesome chair. It's a good chair. Damn good chair. That's your chair? I don't know. I didn't take that picture. Were all the chairs the same or were there different designs? No, they're all the same. Okay, cool. They're all the same. Every show has its own unique chair. That's cool. One guy offered me $100 for my chair, and I said, no, I don't need your money. We should get that in here. I would have taken that. I got a bunch of chairs. I can bring chairs. I think we need something more spacious than your recliner, to be honest, So I've been working on replacing the recliner. The recliner doesn't work. I've been giving – I'm in talks for a couple of stadium seats that will look better. I think it would be sick. We should have like two rows of stadium seats. I agree. Bleachers? Yeah. Yeah. Can we go double-decker couch? Because we do have instances where we have a lot of people in here. Yeah. And there's only one seat. If I could get double-decker stadium seating, I would do it. I was thinking just a couple of stadium seats. But if you want to go row one, row two. Two rows of three? Would that fit in that space? That would almost intimidate. Could we have a studio audience in? Oh, yeah, yeah. Cup holders. We could just bring in mostly fans and have them. No, I won't. No, I won't. No, no, no. I want chairs that have been in like Comiskey Park. Right, right, right. That's what I'm looking for. I want chairs that have been taken out of Bill Stadium. They've got to be selling a bunch of chairs, right? You think they've got a bunch of chairs or they've got a bunch of bleachers? That's a good point. I don't know.

I want wood bleachers. One time in eighth grade. Like an old high school gym. You know how you pull out the bleachers? You can put them back up against the wall. Sure, sure. A kid tripped and fell and cut out his knee on eighth grade field. Cut out his knee? Yeah. What happened? He was backing up pulling the thing and he cut out his knee. Cut out his knee? Yeah, literally. His whole knee came out of his body. Yeah. What? Yeah, it was disgusting. How does that happen? What are you talking about? He was like pulling the bleach. I know that part. I'm more on the cut out the knee part. What does that mean? He tripped in the corner of the bleacher, ripped his knee. And his kneecap is just spilled onto the floor. Basically, yes. You could see his kneecap. Oh. Yeah. I don't want to see anybody's kneecap. And I've been kind of scared of the bleachers. I don't want to see anything under the surface, to be honest. But kneecap would be jarring. Yeah, something like that. Oh. Pre-order. Buffalo Bill's Highmark. That's good. I mean. Shipping not included. What? That shipping is going to be $300. Call Big Cat. Those are going to sell so fast. No, I get that. Those are going to sell so fast. Hi, Mark. 6'7". Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. What? Dude, we could build. Stop doing that laugh. We could build a big set of bleachers so you could take your best gal behind them. Oh, yeah? What are you doing behind the bleachers with your best gal? Yeah. Hey. Think about that. We have a spot to make out in the office now. Yeah. We need a homecoming game, though. Hey, best gal, you want to go into the bleachers and mostly sports? I'm just in here playing video games. You do something like that. Something to consider. Something to consider. This is bleacher seating from Highmark Stadium. How is that only $100? That should be like $300 cheaper. That's just a bleacher. Is this pens? What about eBay like stadium seats? What's a stadium that's closed? Old Boston Garden. That or Turner Field. One of them. I guess Turner Field still sitting. Standing or sitting. Stadium stand or sit? San Diego County Stadium. Is that still open? Qualcomm. Right. Qualcomm Stadium. Qualcomm. Is it still open? By the way, I was looking at. I was looking at a Major League Baseball preview for this year. I'm educating myself on Major League Baseball. Y'all have let some of your – baseball has let some of their stadium names go. Oh, yeah. Like Houston, what's it called now? It's no longer Minute Maid. It's like an insurance company, isn't it? Yeah, like there's some stadiums. Like is Detroit not Comerica anymore? Did Comerica lose it? Is it Dakin Park? Dakin – yeah, fuck that. That's Houston? Is Dakin Park? Yeah, Dakin Park. I think Seattle used to be Safeco. What's Seattle now? Seattle used to be Safeco. Yeah, it is T-Mobile. I think they might have changed again. Anyway, whatever. Doesn't matter. I'm going to be so – oh, it is T-Mobile. I am going to be so baseball ready when baseball starts. I'm ready now. I am. Like emotionally, I'm not mentally ready. I haven't studied up, but I'm emotionally – We got World Baseball Classic Wednesday night. I'm ready. 10 p.m. I'm ready to be sitting in the crowd with the sun in your hair. I'm ready to grill something. Yeah. I'm ready. I think this weekend. Taipei, Australia. Take me out to the ball game is what I say. Yeah. It's really close. We're getting there. Why are you talking about it? That's what we just said. What are you saying? Yeah. But you don't have to put on your voice. I know, I know, I know. But I'm just saying, you know, we were talking about how bad the winter was. Did she call you yet? It's very close. Stop. Don't, don't, stop. He won't believe me. I don't believe you. Mariah May, I saw her backstage the other day. She asked for his number. I don't believe you. Have you gotten a call from a number you didn't answer? You should know that off the top of your head. If Mariah May was romantically interested in you, would that be something you'd be interested in? I got one at 4.49 p.m. on Saturday, and I did not think that they could have been linked. That's not her number, though. What time do you think I met her? That's not her number, though. How do you know it's not? Save it as a test. Save it as Mariah May. Yeah, yeah. Save it as Mariah May. Blake Monroe, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure, Blake Monroe. I'm going to go to Snapchat. Wait, wait, wait. I'm not going to Snapchat. Evo, what are you? Evo, is this an old method of yours? This is a trick to see if you don't know a number, you don't want to say what number it is. You save the number, and then you go to Snapchat, and their username will usually be something with their actual name. It'll match. I don't know if she has a Snapchat. And if there's nothing, I just ignore it. How do you do it? I saw formerly Mariah May, Blake Monroe, we went backstage. She asked for your number. Stop. I swear. Snapchat. I swear to God she asked for your number. Mariah May, former Mariah May, now Blake Monroe. Look how red caught her. Her face is already getting red. Was she there? No, I saw a hologram of her. You wouldn't make that up. You wouldn't make that up. A lot of them are there. Even though they're not in a car, they're still there. They have to be there. It's part of their job. They get paid to be there, Connor. Yeah, Connor. You idiot. Connor. I saw. I got a phone call from a U.S. number. They all get U.S. numbers. Just because she's not from the U.S. doesn't mean she doesn't get a U.S. number. They live here. I don't think she lives here. In this spot, this area code that called me. I can't call. I have an area code of a place I've never lived. My area code's Atlanta. I lived in Atlanta for like six months. Call her back. I can't call her back. Because I also don't know if it's her. Are you, so, if she's like interested in you, is that something you're interested in? Yeah. Okay. Redemption. Like maybe, well, like are you interested in like having a conversation on the couch? Or like what if she's like wants to start a relationship? Are you interested in that? Of course. Yeah, I'd be open to it. Okay. I just have to figure out first how to get in contact with her. but this might be... Are you into older women? She's a year older than him. Yeah, she's cougar. Yeah, I'm into that. You're publicly letting it be known that you're... Yeah, I mean, I asked her to dinner. I put it out there, so we'll see. But yeah, maybe I'll have to follow up. You just got this iPhone. How's it not working? How's it not working? You're having problems with it. The fucking iPhone, man. You're having problems, huh? Goddamn. It just went out. You know the worst part? You'll never be an Android guy, will you? No. No. It just went out. Where did it go? Yeah, try blowing on it. I just had it. How am I going to order my lunch? Have you tried charging it? It's been charging the whole time. Do you think this is like a... Have you tried... Turn it off and turn it back on. Yeah, turn it off, turn it back on. You tried calling it? You see that they're going to change the cables again this year? They are? Somebody has to order me some lunch. Allegedly. They're going to change to MagSafe. Try the hard reset. TJ once saved my phone in the New York office. There is no hard reset. My phone just stopped working. It's just off. No, this happened to me and TJ saved me. Remember, TJ? TJ, save me. Throw your phone over there. Throw it at Connor. All right. All right. Good little relay. I was going to order my lunch, and it's just the screen. It's black. You're pretty sure it's not the battery was dying. It's been charging on this cord the whole show. I'm just asking questions. The whole show. I'm just asking questions. The whole show, it's been on this cord right here. Is that cord even plugged in? It's plugged in right there. The whole show, it's been on this cord. That's a long cord, dude. That's a long way for the juice to travel. Maybe the juice didn't make it all the way. Took 40 days and 40 nights. Yeah. Baseball thing. God damn it. You guys want a baseball thing? Yeah. You just said you were excited for baseball. What the fuck? Sure. Now he's got lunch on the brain. What are you doing here so far? So fast. Yeah, thanks. Is that your phone, Blutman, or is that Brandon's backup lunch phone? Brandon, Brandon. How'd you do that? Is it just going to be on that screen the whole time? Yeah, it's just a picture. No, I've had phones that just show the Apple the whole time. You've had phones that just show the Apple? Yeah, when they break, they just take it past that. Y'all never had that? That's a bad phone. I've had that. You got to put your passcode in. Connor. We got you. Try putting in a rice brand. You walk. Connor. Good catch. That was a terrible throw. That's a good catch, Brandon. What'd you do? And for the podcast listeners, Connor threw it 100 miles an hour. I did. Did it work? No, now it's doing this. Oh, it's updating. Oh, if it's updating. That's why I was going to stop. Come back. I got to order my lunch. This is great sports television. It's a great podcast. What did you say? What did you say? Fast. Sorry, far. Fast or far? That's what you said. All right. Here we go. Can I do my baseball thing, Mark? Yes, do your baseball thing. You like baseball, and I like baseball. Of course. Because of the time difference of where the Czechs are playing this week, they're playing at 5 a.m. on Thursday and at 10 p.m. on Thursday. Where do you eat the fries? Oh. I believe they're playing either in Korea or in Australia. But they're playing 5 a.m. Eastern on Thursday, March 5th for us, and then 10 p.m. What does that mean locally for them? Let's see. So they're playing a night game and then a morning game the next day, kind of? Give me 12 nuggets. Is that? Yeah, I would believe. 12 grilled nuggets. That's all I need. That's pretty cool. The 17-hour difference. Well, that's pretty damn cool. That's pretty cool, right? Another part of my preparation is I watch all baseball YouTube videos all weekend, and I watch every home run from the 2023 World Baseball Classic. It was fucking lit, as the kids would say. It was crazy. We go off Friday, 8 Eastern, 7 Central, at Brazil. A.M.? P.M. You know what I'm excited for? I saw the World Baseball Classic commercial, and I saw Cal Raleigh. Yeah. And I was like, I forgot about that guy. Mm-hmm. He had 60 home runs. I thought we were just doing things we're excited about. Yeah. I was like Cal Raleigh is going to play for us. Yeah. That's pretty fucking cool, right? Cal Raleigh and Aaron Judge on the same team, correct? Yeah. I like that. What's his nickname? The guy who won the MVP and should have won the MVP. You know who I'm talking about, Cal Raleigh. The big dumper. The big dumper. The big dumper. Yeah, you know who I'm talking about. The big dumper. I don't know, man. Here, I got a quick game.

You inspired it the other day when you were asking a couple of questions about career highs for NBA players. Okay. And that was fascinating to me because, you know, you think of all the – So I wrote down 10 players. They're in three different categories and a wild card, and it's you against Connor against Evo. The winner gets $100 cash money. No way. Whoa. What? Okay. Did you want to be involved? I'll decide after I hear where the game is. The game is I'm going to say a player the closest to his career high wins the point. Are you ready? Okay. We have three categories. Can we go over? Yeah, are we playing Price is Right? You can go over, yes. Just closest guess. I like that. Three categories. Lakers. I'll say. Random White Guys. 41. 2004 Pistons. And Wild Card. Are you ready? You haven't said the player yet. Rick? Who has control of the board? Rick Fox. No, who has control of the board? You all get a guess. Don't we get to pick our category? No, you don't. Jeopardy Rules? Rick Fox. Rick Fox. I'll say Warsaw, Indiana, by the way. Who was in North Carolina, though? 33. Connor? 28. 34. Mark Titus, with 33, you were leading because you were off by one point. Wow. Until he said 34, which is the correct answer. Yeah. This is a flawed game. Wait a second. It's a flawed game. What the fuck? I cheated the system. All right, you go first. You go first. Okay, all right. Robert Ory. 41. 31. 40. Well, guess what, Ivo? You were the closest one until Mark Titus said 40, which is the correct answer. This game is such bullshit. Robert Horry, correct answer, 40. You could have said 42, though. All right, Connor goes first. Connor goes first. I suck at this. Connor, you go first. Yeah. Connor, how many points do you have right now? Zero. I got a goose egg. What was Derek Fisher's career high points? Fuck. Give me 37. Well, I want to say 36, but then he was going to say 35. No, no. He might go up. Let's hit him with a sandwich. You want to hit him with a sandwich? All right, I'll say 36. I'll say 36. I'll say 36. I'll take 38. Box. You got a fucking box, dude. Well, Connor, good news. Mark Titus now has two points. That's so fucked. None of you were close. The answer was 29. He was the lowest. Yes, 29. If you guys put me in a fucking sandwich again, I'm going to whoop your ass. I know this isn't how we usually play this, but I'm going to let Connor go first. Just because he needs to get a point on the board. Let's let Connor go first. Connor, you get to go first. Let's get Connor a point. Let's get Connor a point. Random white guys, are you ready? Yeah, I got to get it dead on. Yeah, sure. Mark Madsen, career high in points. 22? Ebo, I'll let you go. I won't sandwich you. I'll say 28. I don't know who Mark Madsen is. I'll say 23. Connor? Yeah? You're on the board. No way. 15 is Mark Madsen's career high. You were the lowest. Fuck yes, dude. Now you got him. Okay. Who's going first? On their ass. Connor just won, so. Connor, you go first. He's got the ball. Brian Scalabrini, the red mamba. I love this guy. Current score, two for Mark Titus, one for Conor Griffin, one for Evan Bosenko. I'll go 13. Oh, I was going to go 14. I'm going to go 14. I'm going to go 15. Fucking obvious. The whole group wildly off. Yeah, it's like in the 20s. Brian Scalabrini once scored 29 points. Yeah, that's on me. Against who? Don't know. Okay. Mark Titus, this could be a blowout. It's 3-1-1. Christian Laettner. Oh, man. I'm going first? Mark Titus is going first. Christian Laettner is not as bad as his reputation would suggest Correct He actually was an okay NBA player People treat it like he was dog shit Not the case I'm going to say Christian Leitner scored 35 in a game. Ebo? Take 30 on the nose, Brandon. Connor? 28. Connor, you refuse to play by the same rules and engagement they're using. And if you had just boxed Titus in, you would have been correct. No, I'm a good guy. I'm not going to do that shit. Who was it? What was the number? 37. Okay, yeah. Mark Titus wins again. I win again, yeah. So it's now 4-1-1. Yeah. It's a blowout. It's almost over. And I went first that time. So you go first this time, and I'll show you. Okay. Connor, you go first. I'll show you what you should have. Here we go. Rip Hamilton. Really think about it, I guess. I'm going to go clean 40. I'm going to go 41. I'll take 39, Brandon. You're so bad at this game, dude. Connor, you're off. I have the same amount of points as you do, Ibo. Yeah. Mark Titus continues to roll. Wow. Rip Hamilton, 51 points. That's on me. I should have sandwiched him. Rip Hamilton scored 51 points. It was definitely over 40. Ben Wallace. Say 51. I just want to sandwich cock. Ebo, you go first. Ben Wallace. Ben Wallace fucking motherfucking, I don't know, fucking 28. Connor. 33. Mark. 27. It's Mark Titus. What? All right. You two play. No. I'm out. I'm out. All right. For to be the number one couch boy on Mostly Sports, here's the tiebreaker. You ready? Dennis Rodman. Dennis Rodman. Who wants to go first? I'll go first. All right. Okay, that's nice of you. He's not going to be able to sandwich you. Yeah. But you have to say a number. You can't. Yeah, no. I feel like this is lowballing him a little bit, but I'm going to go 36. Evo. 33. You want to throw out a guess? Who was it? It's Dennis Rodman. 36 and 33? Yeah. Who said 36? I said 36. Who said 33? Me. Watch this. 34. Oh my God, he's self-sandwiched. This motherfucker put himself in the box. Self-sandwiched for the win. Bottom name, Mark. I'll let you announce it. Tennis Rodman 34. 34, boys. This guy's the fucking king. I know ball. This guy knows basketball. I put myself in the sandwich, Connor. He sandwiched himself. The sandwich was open, and I said, I'm going to get in there, and I'm going to close the sandwich. And I still won. So a sandwich of brilliance is what it was. That's an excellent performance, Mark. Thank you, guys. It's impressive. Sometimes you've got to tip your cap. I have a treatment for Brandon. Yes. How many 40-point games did Tim Duncan have in his career? Played 19 seasons in the NBA. You want the total number of games that he played? No, I don't need that. I'll find it for you. It must be low or you wouldn't have said it. I'm going to say 12. Tim Duncan, I've got to find his career. 1,392 games, Mark Titus. I'd say he had 12 40-point games. 1,392 games. In the regular season, he played 251 postseason games. So 1392 does not include the 251? Does not. So he played 1,600 games? Sure, sure, sure. Five. Five. Tim Duncan, five. Five 40-point games. I bet he was like at 36 a lot. Wow, that is... Five 40-point games. I'm just not sure. That picture looks like Victor Wimanyama, if I'm being honest. That was when he was meeting with the Monks. Okay. All right. Okay. All right. Okay, Mr. Garrison. Are you mocking me? Okay. What? In sports, winning takes more than talent. It takes strength, reliability, and the drive to go the distance. Sound familiar? That's the same DNA you'll find in a Chevy Silverado. As capable and dependable as a winning team, Chevy Silverado shows up and gets the job done. It won't flinch when the pressure's on. It doesn't take plays off. When it comes to trucks, Chevy Silverado is football guy approved. To learn more about Silverado, visit Chevy.com. Are you doing South Park again? South Park. You know, you two with your little South Park shit starting to get on my nerves. It's been on there for, what, 30 years almost? Yeah. It's out there. It's an American institution. It's out there. You can just watch it. Connor, let's me and you do a cartoon. Okay. We could do, like, Tom and Jerry. They don't talk, Connor. Yeah, that would be a hindrance there. Scream. Yeah. Tom and Jerry scream. We'll workshop it. Let's do Looney Tunes. I'll be, I don't know, Bugs Bunny. You be Speedy Gonzalez. Okay. All right. What's up, Doc? I don't know. I also, I don't know if I know Speedy Gonzalez. I know he was canceled. You be Pepe Le Pew. Now I'm not going to be Pepe Le Pew. You got to take one. Foghorn Leghorn. Be Foghorn Leghorn. Say us, say us. That was Michael Scott. I thought Foghorn like one was that's the big chicken the big chicken yes come on and slam I know that did you see the ending because I know you didn't you were watching ball see the ending of the UMass-Yukon hockey game no I would like to see this now okay so pull that up TJ I'll give him a second so UMass is the favorite against UConn in hockey and I don't know if they're NCAA tournament or where they are right now, but obviously the Frozen Four is coming up at the end of the month. UConn is the underdog. It is a tie game in the third period. UConn gets a turnover and launches on the attack and is on a breakaway and is about to probably score the game-winning goal. I don't know if it's overtime or if it's late in the third period. It's in overtime. It's in overtime. UConn is also at this moment the last team in the field for the postseason. Yes. So watch this. It's an overtime, 2-0-1. UConn, UMass has a turnover. UConn gets a breakaway. Watch this. All right. UMass coming. Uh-oh. There comes a breakaway. They're at UMass, by the way. What's going on with the, oh. They turned the light, the stadium ops turned the lights off as they were on a breakaway to win the game. And it's at UMass? It's at UMass. UConn got fucked? UConn got fucked. I don't even know who ended up winning the game. I believe UMass won in a shootout. Oh, my God. That's what they think what happened is the arena operator thought that UMass scored here. So they pressed the goal button, which is why it starts to flash and shit. So this is like the goal sequence for if UMass were to have scored. But they pressed it suspiciously long. They didn't press it immediately. Right. They pressed it after the puck had started going. It doesn't start to flash until they're at the blue line. That was... That's crazy. That's bullshit, right? That's so much bullshit. UConn got fucked. What should be done about this? I think UConn should have been given the win. This does set a precedent that you can... Just do that. Turn their lights off. Yeah. What's going to happen? On a fast break, just turn the lights off. Should UConn have gotten a penalty shot or something? That's what I came up with. Should that have been... Should have been a penalty shot with a chance to win the game. You can't give them the win, but you should basically call a penalty on the game ops. Right. Yeah, that's like a delay of game or something, right? I don't know what they ended up calling. They're a mechanic. I think they just did a face-off. I think they just stopped. That's bullshit. That's bullshit of the highest order. Yeah. Fuck that. UMass won in a shootout. What do you think? Not the same situation, but I just got March Madness on the brain. What do you think about the idea of a premature court storm, a technical being called? Is that bullshit? I hit a three to go up one with one second left. Yeah. And the bench runs out onto the floor to come celebrate as the inbounds happen and you have to launch a full court shot. Yeah. What if they stopped it and were like, technical foul, actually. They get two free throws now. I mean, I think that would suck for you, but that's the legitimate call, right? If something like that happened, you'd be like, that's the right call. Depends if I like the team that got fucked in that situation. Depends on, like, if Duke wins a game in the tournament because the other team celebrated too early, fuck that. Yeah. If Duke loses a game because they celebrated too early, that's what they deserve. Yeah. But that does happen fairly often. Yes. And the refs will just, like, blow the whistle, say, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, get off the floor, get off the floor. Okay, now you can take it out of bounds. And it's like, well, now the defense can be set. Yeah. You took away the moment of just a quick throw it up. I don't know how to handle these situations. I don't know what to do, Connor. That's why there needs to be an instructional video for how to court storm. Another end-of-game situation that happened this weekend. I'll have tomorrow. Another end-of-game situation that happened this weekend. I believe there was a half marathon in Atlanta. There were three runners that were a minute above anybody else. They were cruising. they're following the pace car, the lead car they get to about a mile maybe the half mile to finish or a mile to finish the car takes a wrong turn they follow the car off course whoever was a minute behind them caught up, won the marathon because the three runners won, followed the lead car that's fucked with under two miles to go, Jess McLean led the 2026 half marathon championship by a good margin was well on her way to her national title until the lead bike led her, Emma Grace Hurley, and Edna Kergat off course. Molly Bourne, who was over a minute behind, was the first runner to correctly complete the course and is credited with the win in 69-43 with multiple protests are expected. The race is also a selection event for the 2026 World Championships. Thoughts? I assume that the person driving the lead whatever is impartial. Come on, man. Come on. It's impartial. You don't supply your own leader. I don't think, no. You don't supply your own. It's not like one of those situations. There's only one of those people, right? It's not like she was following. The car she was following was not like her coach. I don't know. It definitely was not. It was provided by the race. Yes. That's fucked. That's completely fucked. That's completely fucked. Now, the hardos and the replies of that are like, it's on the runners to know the course. But if you're 12 miles into a 13-mile run and you've been following a car for 12 miles, it is a reasonable expectation to believe the car is going to get you where you're supposed to go, correct? I would say it's on the car to know the course as well. Yeah. That seems reasonable. A lot of bullshit finishes. A lot of bullshit. A lot of bullshit. I hate bullshit. I don't like it. Never have. But sports are kind of built on bullshit. I know. What do we have to talk about? Guys like us, we traffic in bullshit. We sure do. We're bullshit artists. What was the resolution in the Cavs Pistons where they had to stop the game because they couldn't do the horn off. Oh, I saw that clip, yeah. That would be so annoying. Yeah, I just saw a video of the horn operator sweating over the board trying to figure out how to turn the horn off for like 10 minutes. Oh, what did you make of Travis Steele attacking the speaker? That was funny. Yeah. That was funny. That was just good old-fashioned humor, I thought. I thought that was funny. We had the DJ on Wake Up Barstool this morning. Wait, really? Yeah, he was a nice guy. He was cool about it. but I got the sense he was one step away from putting on a neck brace. Oh, yeah. Yeah, because I think he's going to – when Miami of Ohio reaches out and says, hey, let me pay for it, that speaker is all of a sudden going to become the top of the line. I will never financially recover from a speaker getting knocked over. It looks like a bulky speaker. It looks like it could handle a little rough out of the speaker. He pushed it down with some force. You think the speaker's busted? Did he say the speaker's busted? So he said the speaker was distorted when it came back up, but what it really hurt him was the speaker was plugged into a bunch of other stuff, and when it went down, it fucked up the cords and all the other stuff. So he's probably going to get taken care of. But he said an assistant reached out to him Saturday, and then another assistant yesterday, and he hasn't been able to get on the phone with Travis Steele yet. So Travis Steele hasn't reached out and apologized. I don't think Miami of Ohio has been able to get on the phone with Travis Steele. They said, last I saw, they're putting an extension in front of him. And he was asked, like, are you signing it? And he was like, I don't know what you're talking about. Extension, huh? What? We got, huh? Yeah. What are you talking about? So I think Travis Steele is. So the phone's not working right now. Yeah. I think if that guy calls Travis Steele, he's going to say, talk to Miami. Yeah. And then Travis Steele is ditching town, maybe. Maybe. Oh, that would be funny. If Miami's like, talk to Travis Steele. Travis Steele's like, talk to them. And nobody. I mean, he attacked it pretty good. Yeah, he knocks it down harder. As I look at it again, he could break it. He took a crow hop into it. Two hands. Kind of a gutsy win for them, though, to be honest. As much as I don't think they're that great of a team for being 29-0, a lot of teams would have lost that game. Best player fouls out. Every time they do face their mortality with a loss, they somehow overcome it. Which, you know, all this discussion and all this talk is based on the assumption that everybody has that they're going to lose. What if they just – What if they don't? That's what I'm – Yeah. That's the most fun – Isn't that the most fun resolution? They control their own deaths and just win all the games. Like if they beat Akron by 15 in the conference championship game? Yeah. They wouldn't have to talk about it. They wouldn't even have to talk about it at that point. I was at the bar on Friday when they hit that shot to win it. Yeah. At the buzzer. Tough shot. Good bucket. Place went berserk. I got it. Was it a Miami bar? No, no. People just love the Red Hawks. They love the story. I want to see it in the tournament. We'll see. You were in a ball-loving bar? Yeah. Yeah. Well, okay. It wasn't the rabbit hole. I didn't say that it was. TJ was just, I don't know what TJ left. Further down the street. I think it's five teams, Brandon. I think it's five teams and everyone else. What was the fifth, though? I'd throw you a cunt in there in Florida. You throw UConn ahead of Houston. Yeah. That's five teams. I'm looking at it now. I'm looking at every single team right now. I don't think you throw UConn in there. I don't think it might be four. If you say five, you say five. I'm too scared to not throw UConn in there. You're the guy that dumped on three people. I'm too scared to not say UConn, but if someone else says it, I'll be like, yes. I'll follow. I'll follow your lead. Are you saying not UConn? I'm saying not UConn. Okay, same. Actually, they've won two titles. UConn's in. I'm a same. I'm with you. I'm too cowardly. My head says no. My heart says yes on UConn. I'm reading some literature on Travis Seale. I might be a dumbass. John Gross is his brother? Yeah. That's been known. That's well known? I think they both know that. Yeah. I think they're... You'll be surprised to them? Yeah. That's crazy. You want me to really fucking blow your mind? Put a helmet on, maybe. I'm doing some more reading. Chris Holtman played basketball with him growing up. You want to really have your fucking mind blown? Look at what town they're from. And then maybe do a deeper dive on the town that I'm actually from. Oh, dear. My family has known their family for my entire life. Are they from Danville and Indiana? Danville and Hendricks County. They're Hendricks County. Oh, I thought they were going to be Avon. No, fuck no. Do you think they'd be on this state? Do you think a guy from Avon would be 29? The way you were talking, I thought it was going to be Avon. No. Avon, by the way, good athletic. I've looked into them. Good athletic program. Good people over there. Avon, Indiana? Yeah. He's funny. Yeah. This guy's funny. Yeah, Gross and Steeler. Isn't that spicy, Ibo? Yeah. That's pretty spicy. Isn't that spicy? I mean, the MAAC championship. You asked your question. Is it spicy? It's spicy. That's spicy. It is. But our brotherly relationship, that's pretty sweet. Yeah. This would be a great time to have the sweet or spicy head. Wait, wait, wait. I know you'd have it. Who was that for? I was going off instinct, dude. I thought you were. They've changed the way my brain works. I was told, I was sat down, and I was told no more fair or foul. What? It's sweet or spicy now. And then I was like, all right, my brain has been compromised. No, not only are they brothers, but they're the two best teams, and only one of them can probably, maybe, make the tournament. that's what happened last year I think Akron beat Miami was in the championship Miami finished second Akron yeah I believe they finish off for the Ebo when one of them loses they're probably gonna snap right that's good Brandon they're probably gonna snap that's pretty good Brandon when you feel like you've had enough and you're ready to snap snap into a Slim Jim instead why are you smiling What are you doing? Why are you smiling like that? I'm looking over at you. You're just frozen right now. I was waiting for the camera to come back on me because I had my snap. Presenting like it's The Price is Right. Slim Jim's iconic snap turns any moment of annoyance into satisfaction, turn any fumble into a touchdown. We love meat. Slim Jim is the ultimate meat stick to satisfy your meat cravings. Available in multiple sizes to match your hunger. Can't go wrong with the OG long stick like Connor is holding right now. Looking for something more? Try a monster or savage size or load up on the short sticks for your meat stash at home or at the office. When life makes you want to snap, snap into a Slim Jim with its bold, meaty flavor, iconic spice, and signature snap. Slim Jim is the smoked meat stick that helps you reclaim the moment and snaps back at the world. Snap into a Slim Jim. Grab one. Today, everywhere snacks are sold. You know who snapped this weekend? Who? BG. The boy. On you. He got you, Brandon. He got you good. He was literally snapping. He got you good. 88-64. Your Missouri Tigers go into Starkville, Mississippi and just give a belt to ass. Brandon Walker, I am sorry. It had to be done. It had to be done. This Tigers team... We were officially in the NCAA tournament. This team is playing hot. They are playing hot. This team, I don't know what it is, but they got it. Sean Phillips and Mark Mitchell are fucking dangerous down low. Player of the game goes down to Sean Phillips. You crazy fucks thought I wouldn't have one of these? It's a Saturday. Missouri just went BTA on the Mississippi Bulldogs. You crazy fucks thought I wouldn't have one of these. Player of the game, Sean Phillips. Let's have a day. Two-handed chug. It's really fast. About 45 seconds. He's the best we got. Woo! M-I-Z! Can we go back to his little gritty right there? When's he going to be here next week? I think he's here next week. I got gregged. No, two weeks from now. Two weeks? Oh, yeah. Conference championship. We were. Oh, my God. You're right. Conference championship. This team is hot. This team is playing hot. This team is playing hot. You crazy fuck. He was only in a mechanical bowl on Saturday night. He's having a great Saturday. What an analysis. I love his bar reviews, by the way. Yeah, the bar reviews. What do you think the process was after, I believe, the original green video, he was just outside in the shadow of pool lights or something, and they were green, and obviously he became green Greg that day. You think he had to go to Lowe's or something? It's like, I got to be green in my house. Weird request, but do you have 10,000 light bulbs? Right. You have to put them in every single. What can I? Make me green. I don't know what to do. Make me green. I need a green nipple ceiling light. in my whatever room that is. Fucking barstool. Amazing Vibe has a bowl. Could the drinks be cheaper? Yes. Hell of a review. He's such a good reviewer, dude. Go back up. Amazing Vibe has a bowl with no explanation whatsoever. Yeah, has a bowl. If you watched every single one of his Missouri basketball videos this year, you would learn nothing about the team. You would learn absolutely nothing. You would have no idea. Yeah. I know because that's the extent of my watching Missouri this year is I've turned to Greg for the analysis, and he's just like, we're hot. We're fucking hot. We're fucking hot. He does. He closes his eyes when he says, fucking. We're fucking hot. We're so fucking hot. Hey, Blutman. Hi. What's up? Hey. Did you see Shane Lowry yesterday? Shane Lowry playing in the Cognizant? Yep, Cognizant Classic. Cognizant Classic. Shane Lowry, about the 11, 12, and 13, just goes belt and ass to everybody. Goes belt and ass, and he goes up. He gets to minus 19, right? He's at minus 19. Echeverria, who's in second place, is minus 16. This is only going into number 16. Three holes left. The thick of the bear trap. Three holes left. He has a three-shot lead. He takes an iron out to be careful on 16. It's a par four. Takes an iron out because he doesn't want to risk the driver. He doesn't want to risk. He hits this motherfucker straight right into the water. Takes a double bogey. It's okay. Still got a one-shot lead. Gets on the tee, the next tee. Straight in the water, double bogey. And I'm sure Dan Rappaport was going crazy. He did. He did. 96.7% chance to win standing on the 16th tee. 0% 30 minutes later. It was the collapse. It was the choke of the year. He'll be up there for choke of the year. Absolutely pathetic. To say this guy's competed in some of the biggest tournaments the sport has to offer. Didn't he win a major? He's out there on the bear trap and says, I can't feel the palms of my hands. I can't feel anything in my hands. You're Shane Lowry. You're leading Nico Echevarria in Austin Smitterman. Nobody was good in that tournament. I mean, no good players were in that tournament. Nico Echevarria, formerly a guy that was in prison. So, like, maybe that's a trend. Maybe that's it. When he was at Arkansas, he ran into a little issue. Maybe that's a little trend for a great golfer. Prison to great golf. Oh, Scotty Scheffler. Scotty Scheffler, Nico Echevarria. Who's next? Was Tiger Woods ever in jail or he just embarrassed himself? I don't know. Did they put him in jail? No, he just was cheating on his wife. That's not illegal. Huh? They could check that. Check that. Check. Phil Mickelson? Did he get arrested? Do you think he ever ran into it with the law? Scotty. He's got some more white collar. We've already said Scotty. Yeah, sure. Was Tiger arrested? Was Tiger Woods ever arrested? Was Jack Nicklaus ever arrested? I don't think Jack Nicklaus. What about Phil Mickelson? Was he ever arrested Did you see Shane Lowry this weekend All right That one of the most pathetic athletic feats you ever witness What do you think about the UMass hockey finish That's very funny. Funny? That was very funny. That's funny? It is funny if you consider it. Yeah, that's hilarious. That's funny? Did you see it? Yeah, we just showed it on the show. Okay. Sorry, I was taking care of it. But you know, I like to figure out what you find funny. and that was that was hilarious yeah okay the light just going out like that way that's games and ship at its finest i can't figure him out brandon oh i don't know what's gonna be funny i'm not saying it's not funny i just like i i'm surprised that you find it funny your dunk was funny i thought you would have thought that that is was bad unprofessional you can't do that in that moment. Does your cup say Big Ginger? Big Ginger, yeah. That's what they wrote on my cup. Who's that? The restaurant. Did you see Jennings? Of course. That's family.

Michael Jordan and his racing team are 3 for 3. They've won 3 straight races. Tyler Reddick, Michael Jordan, 3 races, 3 wins this year, and has only been caught possibly inappropriately touching somebody in one of those races. In only one of the 3. He's 2 for 3 and not improperly touching. He's the first time in NASCAR in a really long time this has happened, right? First time ever. So that is a really long time. Is that surprising to you? That a team has never won three straight races? First three. Oh, the first three. I see. Okay, that makes sense. Opening the season. Yeah, because Daytona tends to be kind of like a crapshoot sometimes. And then I imagine there's a little bit of a hangover after Daytona, typically. You win Daytona. We did it. Let's take a week off. Not these days. Were we expecting Tyler Reddick to be a great driver this year? Was he? That's great. I was. Personally, he was my favorite to win the championship coming in. Really? Yeah. Win the cup championships. What do you think of that trophy, Titus? So that's the track. I assume it is, yeah. Yeah, it's not uncommon for race trophies to be that way. I like it, I guess. I like it. It should be gold. Cool. I love that Michael Jordan is a recluse and just kind of kept to himself, doesn't really have social media. He signed this massive deal with NBC to break down the NBA, and it turned out it was just like one interview that they're going to show every so often. You never really know what he's up to. You never really see him. Every so often, I guess, you'll see a video of him like on a yacht in Greece or something. But he keeps to himself. Very quiet guy, very private guy, except he fucking loves NASCAR. Yeah. He loves NASCAR. And he's out there with the boys. And he will mix it up with the boys with NASCAR. That's pretty awesome. That's pretty funny. That's actually an awesome character. Yeah. He's just like this billionaire. Could be anywhere, but on Sundays, this motherfucker is at the track with the boys. He's in the garage. He's high-fiving. He's doing it all. But otherwise, he's very private. Don't fucking talk to him. Don't talk to him. Don't even try to reach out. He gave an interview. He made that big deal with the NBC. They had to pay him $6 or $8 million for the interview. and they're just running it over and over and over. But yesterday, the sideline reporter is just walking down the track and Michael's just giving her just a straight interview. NBC could have paid him nothing if they just would have talked to him about NASCAR. He would have sat down with him for hours. He would have sat down for hours for free. We grew up thinking about Michael Jordan, greatest basketball player to ever do it. Yeah. Kids today are growing up thinking about Michael Jordan, greatest owner in NASCAR. The kids are all about the ownership in NASCAR. Joe Gibbs, same sort of thing. That's great. So my question. Joe Gibbs is a time Super Bowl champion. Yeah, he wouldn't be, you know. Let's build out a scenario. A lot of people, he's just the NASCAR. Let's build out a scenario where Michael Jordan becomes more known for being the GOAT NASCAR owner than GOAT basketball player. And here's the scenario I came up with. They have to win the next 600 races. To even have the conversation. But that's not enough. That's not enough. he has to win the next 600 races and then in a race like 50 Tyler Reddick has to quit and Michael Jordan has to get I was going to say Michael Jordan has to win at least some of them as a driver that's not enough to overcome the basketball legacy in a race like 150 Michael Jordan has to be leading the race, the car breaks down, Michael Jordan gets out on foot runs the rest of the way and beats the other NASCARs still not enough not quite enough and I think I know where this is going I'll stop you right there As I look at my Dale Earnhardt memorabilia, I'm going to go ahead and stop you right there. Where did you think it was going? I mean. You think he had to besmirch the legacy? No, no, no. I think he had to. Oh. Yeah. Okay. Well, I wasn't going there. I hadn't went in 600 straight races. How many years is that? I'm saying. He would be racing in his 80s. 600 races is. Just to be behind the wheel is impressive. Yeah. Does LeBron have to get in the NASCAR? Almost certainly he does. Or Pickleball. I think he's going to get into TGL probably. Brad Doherty is into NASCAR. He's like a NASCAR analyst. He's another North Carolina guy, right? Well, they really do the NASCAR over there in North Carolina. Love that NASCAR. Petey Pablo like it? I don't know. Petey Pab, motherfucker. I have a question I want to ask of you, Brandon. I know I said I'm not doing fair or foul anymore, but fuck it. I'm going to throw one your way. Pacers guy he's a fan that goes to the Pacers games he makes signs for the Pacers he sits underneath one of the baskets he's got a pink flamingo and he makes signs that say you're going to miss this shot and then he holds him up when the other team is shooting a free throw he's known in central Indiana you see his face, you see his signs, you kind of know this guy there he is right there hey Spike, seems like old times check your voicemail you missed a call you can't make this fish up the signs are almost never interesting, funny, almost never, not one single, we're crazy about the Pacers these are the signs he holds up the Pacers guy has just been inducted honored, I don't know what the right word would be, he's headed to the Hall of Fame, for four decades Matt Asin has been a constant presence for the blue and gold through every era, every milestone and some of the biggest moments in franchise history. Now he's being honored by the Basketball Hall of Fame as a super fan. Thank you for your unwavering support, Matt. And here's the thing, Brandon. That support has been wavering. This is a guy who grew up in New York City. I'm turning into Bosco on this, by the way. There's going to be some shades of Bosco that come out. All right. Guy grows up in New York City, a Knicks fan. Moves to Florida. Lives in Florida. has been spotted at talking about Michael Jordan, goes to the Bulls games holding up signs that say, I love you, Mom, but oh, that Michael Jordan. And he was doing that in the 90s. Just a few years ago, he's at a 76-year Celtics game holding up a sign for Jason Tatum. Says the same thing. I love you, Mom, but oh, that Jason Tatum. Can you call yourself Pacers guy and go into the Hall of Fame as a Pacers fan? If you lived in New York, grew up a Knicks fan, he's very outwardly, I've been doing some deep dives on this. He wrote a New York Post op-ed about how he grew up a Knicks fan. Grew up a Knicks fan, lives in Florida, goes to Celtics games to cheer on the current star of the Boston Celtics. Ostensibly a rival of the – not even – they are a rival. They're a rival of the Indiana Pacers. Michael Jordan used to knock the Pacers out of the playoffs all the time, and he's at the United Center with signs for Michael Jordan. Can you call yourself the Pacers guy and go to the Hall of Fame? Fair or foul? Damn. Well, I'm going to pass on the answer because I feel like the passion in your voice means you've already answered it in your mind. I'm going to just say foul. I fucking hate this guy. My question is, is he the only fan going to the Hall of Fame or is this the first team That's the same guy right there. I love you, mom, but oh, that Michael Jordan. Yeah, that's kind of bullshit. This was like three years ago. Also, that sign sucks. It sucks. That sign sucks. This is Pacers. What is he doing? Pacers guys doing this? Was it on Mother's Day? How did he get in the fucking Hall of Fame? And he grew up in Knicks. He's a Knicks fan. And he lives in Florida now. So he saw Indiana as a place without a fan? That's exactly right. And he filled in that spot. Spike Lee was a Knicks fan. That's right. And you can't. And he just found an empty spot for him being a fan. Thank you for your unwavering support. His support has been nothing but wavering. His entire life his support has wavered. He's supported everybody. So I think the story is that he owns some restaurants in Florida, and Herb Simon, the owner of the Pacers, has a place down there or whatever, and he would go to the restaurants. He talked to them one time and found out he was a basketball fan, and Herb Simon was like, why don't you come to the Pacers games? I'll hook you anytime you want to come. We'll hook you up. And then he started to become a Pacers fan because of that connection. People keep asking me about my 2026 resolution. I've gotten the usual stuff, read more, maybe work out, maybe stop ordering food like I'm feeding a family of four. This is my real goal this year, get comfy. And that's where Bombas comes in. I've been wearing the all-new Bombas sports socks, and I swear they're the only reason I'm even attempting to run again. They're cushioned in the right spots, sweat-wicking, super breathable. I basically live in the Sunday slippers, quick dog walks, grabbing coffee. It feels like I'm walking on clouds. And underneath it all, their underwear and tees are crazy soft. Once you wear them, everything else in the drawer feels like a mistake. For every purchase, Bombas donates an essential clothing item to someone facing housing insecurity.

I'll just be the superfan. Once you become the Pacers fan, why don't you give up your right to be a Michael Jordan or Jason Tatum fan? That seems... Shaq attack of the third. It's insane. He supports literally every team. Also, his signs suck. That's what I said. None of his signs are good. He's not a Pacers fan. None of his signs are funny. He's a fan of himself. He's a fan of his dipshit sign. Hey, Jason Tatum, suck my dick. That's a funny sign. It was never the shoes. What's his best sign? He's never had a good sign. Not one time. One decent sign? Never a good sign? This is a plant. This guy's a plant. Yeah. And it's pissed me off in the past, but I've stepped back and I've just been like, whatever. Support who you want to support. But now he's going to the Hall of Fame, Connor. He's a Hall of Fame Pacers guy. Ask Pacers guy. We have to burn this place to the ground. He's right. I love you. I do. Oh, that Brandon. I do have a lot of respect for a guy who decides he's going to a game and he's sitting in front row and somebody asked him to get a sign in there and he was able to do it. I appreciate that. Not everybody has that level of skill or level of ability to go to a game, especially when somebody else sets you up with the tickets and the plane ride there, and then you go to the game and then your sign doesn't get on TV. You just don't get its sign. There's a super fan gallery at the Hall of Fame. Okay, so let's go there with a bunch of signs and protest. I like that idea. In 2024, they added Billy Crystal, Alan Horowitz, Spike Lee, and Jack Nicholson were added to the super fan celebration. get this Pacers guy out of here what I'm saying is I will if you need Pacers representation I'll do it I'll be Pacers guy I will allow the Basketball Hall of Fame to put me in the Hall of Fame as a Pacers fan if you're just looking at it and you're like well we need someone from every team I'll be that for you guys just take to every game a sign of your dunk just hold that up yes the Pacers guy global ambassador Uh-huh. Why is... Oh, he's in India. That makes sense. I don't know why India would be... Yeah. Look at the second one. It's crazy. I don't like that. Oh, whoa, whoa. That's got to be Photoshop. That's got to be AI. Gooner is what Arsenal fans call themselves and have for like 100 years, and now the word Gooner has drastically changed in the last five years, and they just can't change it. They can't. It's like on their official team buildings. You want some positive news before we get out of here? Yes, please.

I got a paid promotion to tweet that. It was paid promotion? From whomst? You don't have to be. It's not working. I literally can't look at it. Look, here's the tweet in my DMs. I can't click on it. What the heck? There is no tweet. Evo was pushing six feet. No, there's like a new feature on Twitter where you can just say something's paid promotion. So I tweeted that Brandon Walker is the number one college football personality. Said it was paid promotion. Pretending like he paid me to do it. That's funny. And then now you can't see it in the tweets. I tweeted, Ebo is pushing six feet tall and knows more ball than anyone on Mostly Sports. But I can't look at it. Weird. And it says paid partnership. Great fucking webinar. Connor, I have a question for you. Why is my algorithm telling me that Jim Carrey was cloned? Oh, dude. That's big time. It's an impersonator, right?

Where are you going with this? All weekend. And he was just tweeting, I can't believe they got Jim Carrey. I can't believe what happened to Jim Carrey. It's staggering. I got to go talk. Those pictures are 30 years apart, right? No, but wait. No, but even last year. No, it is an impersonator. A guy came out and said it was me, right? There's a guy that came out and said it was me, but he just. Is he lying? He does do high-level impersonations, but. So it's not him. He might just be working on us. All right.
