shit uh pft's out it's me a big team atty and mac um what is today it's a Tuesday the fifth i hope you guys is morning start out better than mine because holy shit man started out great and this dog of mine that y'all convinced me to get i feel like we we've had updates on the dog but on the show it may have been a minute since there's been an update on him it's been it's been a minute so let me let me bring people up to speed he has been a tornado and um he we got him trained and it's just his breed is very just they don't care about anything man so like he'll miss him but like sometimes he won't and um and so it's just hard because he he thinks he's small but he's big as shit right so he has the puppy mind but like a grown-up body and he's just huge and he's just ram sex things when he's excited and it's not his fault this you know that's how puppies are um but it's been cool it's been chill and then the other day uh my man's got hit by a car and so that was that was wild how did it happen you ask well let me tell you how it happened uh because he's so ram bunched so the way my house is set up I got a gate in uh a garage door gate like wherever you bring your cars in and so I opened that gate and but I parked outside because I wanted to leave my car outside so I closed the gate behind me um it's electric and it's very quiet and then whereas my back door is you can't see the gate and so as he sees me he's like oh excited and he jumps on me he's jumping on me I'm like yo down yo down and as he's doing that the clicker's in my pocket and the clicker and he hit the clicker in my pocket I later looked at the security footage to see what happened so I know I closed the gate and I did and he and as soon as he jumps on me it hits the the clicker in my pocket gate opens up I can't hear her to see it it's very very good gate very quiet gate and when I close the door he's still outside he kind of wanders for a second sees that the gate is open dips um and usually he doesn't stray too far so I'm thinking it happened like somewhere like in a like close very close proximity but anyway security come back I mean he comes back we look at security footage and he's bloody he's limping he's got scrapes all on his hind legs tail all scraped up patches everywhere he fucked him up so he took him to the vet ER they patched him up he's walking around with a you know you know dogs got the cones on they on they got on anything so he's got a cone on his head right now nothing's cool and in this morning you know so we've been nursing back to hell for like three four days and in this morning I go to take my daughter to school I put him in his cage and I think I told you before he can open doors like he knows how to like hit the thing open the doors I think he's figured out how to open his cage I don't know how but I locked that thing and uh come back my cleaning lady's in here but he has ram sacked my room the living room it's a lot man it's a light peek on my floor it's it's not a lot of upsides so far for this dog venture of mine but I'm I'm I'm in I'm hanging in there fighting he's got me on the ropes right now a big T I got me on the ropes though you you might not be thrilled with him right now but you still love him what is love you know we've been trying to figure out for thousands of years what is that sure he did the car that hit him not say anything or try to come find you that's the crazy part like I'm I'm not even a dog person like right so but if I hit a dog I'm gonna make sure he's alright though like because I'm not like I like I slowed down for squirrels in a golf car like I'm not trying to kill no animals bro you know I might come off like an asshole and like insensitive to animals I don't really care about them but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna hurt them though and if I do hurt them I will feel bad like I do have a heart so that's what's crazy to me is like somebody hitting and just was like fucking I'm out like because I know because the way he was running back he it looks like he got hit and came directly back to the house so I don't know that's gotta be illegal right like if like if he had died and they just hit and killed a dog and then ran off like that hat that can't be legal nah I'm pretty sure you can't kill dogs well I know that's what I'm saying so like I don't think you can hit and run just period yeah well there's a criminal out on the loose in my suburban neighborhood so I'm gonna be on the sounds like it I'm gonna put up posters on a light poles and shit but ironically I'm listening to Alawats on the way to take my daughter to school and it's just this beautiful message of like his whole his whole message is like nothing matters and how that's a beautiful thing it's it's um uh it's like this he brilliantly and eloquently describes how once you let go of the illusion of control of your life and and being and taking life so seriously everything just falls into place and and life just life just happens and that's a beautiful ass thing I come home and say fucks up my house she went right up the window god damn anyhoo man that's my morning hope everybody morning is a little better better than that how's everybody tapping man how's y'all weekend man good McKinsey and I had fun it was my dog's birthday oh yeah happy birthday man thank you my mother and my father surprised me with what their presence oh okay baby um so that was lovely and then an undisclosed day that we are recording this is also big tea's birthday wait today your birthday that's what they say I don't you know oh happy birthday dog it sucks hey happy birthday man are you 29 30 29 29 oh the fuck no yeah damn I actually think I think 29 to like 33 is older than like 34 to 37 I think once you break through that barrier of like 30 and you're very early 30s then you're kind of a young like real adult again I think right now I'm an old young adult I that actually makes sense it tracks I know what you're talking about yeah like I'm too old to be young but I'm not you know into my 30s yet but then once you're like 34 35 now you're a real adult but you're young again yeah yeah that's a great way to put that actually yeah it's yeah yeah so I just gotta power through these next couple years yeah this is this is the this is the transition stage to like okay I'm not a child anymore yeah I'm an adult like I gotta you know me gotta file taxes and shit you know you gotta do like adult shit but yeah this is yeah you know happy transition man you about to be well well easy I mean not transitioning a life I'm just saying like you know from right young hood to adulthood yeah yeah you're right this is this is the next step yeah these next three or four years you're gonna you're gonna find your leg yeah you're gonna find you know wedding next month like wedding oh you're doing out you're doing a whole lot going on this summer but yeah this weekend was my bachelor party as you can probably hear in my voice yeah yeah you know that air out in Denver man I didn't I wasn't screaming or anything the air out there just does a number on you my lips were more chapped than they've ever been in my entire life I mean just and my nose felt it's some about the air out there I don't like it I did I loved Colorado yeah amazing what the what the what the weather was like uh Friday it was a little chilly Saturday was perfect it was like 70 the whole day I played golf went to the Braves Rockies games both nights great nice little weekend how was that was a how was your golf outing um poor but great great time it was one of my buddies like the first time he'd ever played golf and he had two incredible putts like 15 feet probably um so yeah we had a good time uh uh I I do have I guess we can get into this now Arian I don't know if you looked over the pdf I sent you I have not yet but as I'm wearing a Colorado Rockies hat beautiful ballpark Coors Field by the way we need to go out there at some point um hi on my list uh they they they was like the last team in the league last year one day are they they're still bad but they're not like that like last year they were the worst team of all time um so my friends and I as are some other people at this company big fans of the 50-50 raffle you're familiar with that right yeah I'll put me on in Milwaukee that's right so yeah you buy the tickets whatever the jackpot is the the team like charity gets half and then you win half so Friday night we buy a bunch of 50-50 raffle tickets they're like they'll they'll announce it in the eighth inning eighth inning comes around our tickets were like the the number started with like 300 or 400 because we bought them before the game number comes up it's like 990 something so we were like man they gave it to like the last person that bought a ticket like that seems weird Saturday night they had a special on the 50-50 raffle tickets we bought so many and the jackpot was pretty low based on what we estimated the average spend of someone who bought tickets to be we calculated that we might have had 10 of the tickets in the whole ballpark they run it again in the eighth inning 990 right that's really weird so not very likely odds are pretty low so then we went lucky for us the the winning 50-50 raffle numbers for the Colorado Rockies are public because you have to I guess you well we'll get into this later you don't even have to be at the ballpark to buy a ticket which is interesting so by the way Sunday get back yesterday watching the game on tv go to check the winning raffle number in the eighth inning you want to guess what it started with nine 990 all three days so then uh my friends and I put all this information into some some AI and we ran a little analysis on this deal okay yeah we have data from august 2024 until may of 2026 we have 121 you went back with it okay oh yeah we have 121 games of the 50-50 raffle the 990 prefix appears in 34 of the 121 winning raffle numbers 28 percent appears to be far more than random uh there's some other numbers here 990 also appears when the jackpot is larger than usual so I have two hypotheses one less nefarious than the other they don't mean the the less nefarious one is the 990 is like a method of buying tickets and I think it's online so I think what they might be doing is picking people who buy the tickets online rather than in person because they know if you buy it in person you're in the ballpark you're looking for the number if you buy it online you may have left the game early and you just forget to check it whatever you may not even be at the game you may just buy you can just buy it if you're in colorado so and then you don't check it whatever and then they don't have to pay out the thing if someone just forgets the other is they know who's buying those and it's them in your in your analytical you know in your analysis did you correlate anything to all of the winners did you see who all the winners were was there any kind of you can't see who won you just know the number uh okay but 990 three times in a row and 28 out or was it 28 out of one 34 out of 121 uh also how many numbers how many numbers are there in a ticket like 11 digit numbers uh okay so I don't know how many of them change but the 990 prefix shows up a lot and it also shows up uh there were a ton of braves fans there a lot of braves fans are everywhere because of tbs and whatever uh friday night it was probably 70 braves fans 990 also shows up when teams like the braves dodgers padres cubs are in town that bring a lot more fans now that I know there's 11 digits I'm guessing it's probably a little more a little less nefarious than we think why I think that would make it more because well add this into the equation the Rockies remember the Rockies GM last year when he was just like you know just come to the ballpark yeah he was just like yeah we suck but like just come come through and by the way he's correct it's beautiful yeah it's gorgeous like one of the best I would argue that in peco part it said it was probably the best like when the sun's going down vibes in baseball really in sports it's fire but anyway so if they try and get people to the park I would think it would be less likely that they cook in the books on the raffle ticket if if they try and get people to show up but would that not then indicate that they'd be giving them to the numbers that are we know our people in the ballpark that's what I'm saying it would but it seems like this is a specific there's no way 990 just shows up 28 percent of the time just because it happens to it's clearly like a method of buying the tickets or a block of them or something my my guess is it's buying them online so when they pick the raffle is it like one of those big uh wheel thing no you just see a number pop up on the scoreboard they're like this is the winning number so we don't we don't know the picking method correct it's worth looking at it's worth looking at I don't I don't know that I can come over the conclusion with the data given but it's uh it's interesting I mean it's clearly something there's no way it just shows up maybe it's maybe it's for a good reason I don't know but all I'm left to do is speculate and all I know is I bought hundreds of dollars worth of those tickets in both times it came up it was either the last person that bought a ticket or someone who bought it online maybe they knew who bought it online I don't know how did you come up with the conclusion that 990 was the prefix for if you buy it online that's a guess but I'm saying that would be an easy variable to control if you were doing something interesting yeah no I mean yeah I don't know because it's because we bought them I think the first night our tickets started with like three something and we bought them an hour before the game Saturday night they started with four and we were a little closer to the game so it seems if you buy them in person they're sequential okay and yeah that makes sense and then both nights it was 990 interesting uh keep an eye on it I'm going to I I've got a lot of data invested in the Colorado Rockies yeah something's now with that said amazing ballpark uh nice looking hat I love this hat it's a it's a token of my conquest we swept them uh but yeah something's going on token of my conquest how many hats does that bring you to are you are you close to me there's no way of no I have more hats than you a thousand more half than I how many hats do you have uh we counted the other day I'm probably at like a hundred now oh yeah way over and I got rid of a bunch when I moved got over a hundred hats though I mean you've probably been collected for longer than me I was never really a hat guy until I played go I'll count tonight and I I mean I bought three this weekend uh I I'd guess at one point it was over 200 and then when I moved I got rid of some it's probably 150 yeah you're a hat guy you got me beat yeah and and it feels because now at this point there's a ton that I just never wear but I'm like I'm not I but I still want new ones because I love hats so it's like you can't justify it but I'm gonna do it anyway you're not like a hoarder in a sense of like you can't part with some of your old shit no I just I'm like I still want new hats even though I have a ton of hats I I probably there are some I should get rid of but you know might wear it someday oh man uh what you got on your list today man let's see what's popping in the streets so uh here's something I want to start with because this is related to your career field you know who Kelsey Plum is very good women's basketball player okay she recently signed a contract for $999,999 and people were like that's an odd number like why why short of a million and then some people were like well what if it's for taxes and then people point out that's not how that works if you if you make the extra dollar you're not the new tax bracket only taxes you want that dollar it costs you like 13 cents yep well she did an interview that if you haven't watched I'd love for you to watch because uh it's it's incredible okay yeah so Kelsey Plum was under the impression that if she made one more dollar she would pay 13,000 more dollars in taxes which how does she not have someone telling her that that's not the case I mean how do you not know it but too that uh she almost certainly has income from like sponsorships or something that pushes it over a million anyway yeah I don't know that's either she has to know right it seems she doesn't and and even if let's say that's the case like 13 grand if you have a million you ain't gonna lose no sleep if that was the case well I mean I if it actually was gonna cost her 13 grand then fine I understand doing that but like that that's not how that works you're not getting taxed it a million percent on that dollar yeah it's just every dollar of whatever percentage bracket you're in you get taxed on the next dollar right I don't I don't know man um either it's bad advice or you know what I'm in a non-judgmental mood maybe she didn't know maybe maybe she maybe she's you know you can't like she's a professional basketball player you know I'm saying she's not she's not tax consultant she don't know the tax law well I know I believe she didn't know clearly it just seems like I mean if you're if you're making a million dollars a year you surely you have someone telling you you know what I found in the in the sports industry is that there is a lot of predatory financial advisors for sure and they and a lot what I found is a lot of them don't educate their clients on these kinds of things and a lot of clients don't want to be educated on it and because it's it's a lot it's a lot to deal with I mean I I I know for the most part how finances work but there's a lot of shit I don't know like I'm not going to keep up on the tax laws on you know which state and which this and which it's just less a lot to you know saying that's why you pay people to do it or like if I'm doing my taxes I'm not going to do my taxes I have too much shit going on that's just it'll be too time-consuming so with that much amount of wealth I understand how you can get a little bit like a days ago with understanding it but that was pretty should be a well known thing but hey you know I'm pretty sure she knows now because if the internet if you're wrong on the internet you're you're gonna you're gonna figure out soon should be I don't hate the casey Kelsey yeah Kelsey uh good player I I wish congrats on the 999 grand that's awesome that's a fire name though too yeah she used to be married to uh Darren Waller the the tight end Darren Waller the tight end oh that's because um um it played for Miami like yeah fair enough I um uh I was I was picking my daughter up from uh like a play date well she went to her her homegirl's birthday party she's eight and so I picked her up from her house and this is I realized how this is associated from sports I've been lately I come in the house and the and the little girl's mom you know she's as they're you know cleaning up and about to go he kind of just sitting there waiting for her to come on she and I already forgot she says oh uh so-and-so just moved in across the street I was like who's that she's like uh plays for the rockets I said oh okay cool I was like she she has more knowledge of what's going on in the NBA right now than I do I haven't watched I maybe watched one or two playoff games I've just been out the loop man Lakers are moving on yeah I'm I think I'm gonna I'm gonna catch this series this should be a good series well it'll be an entertaining series because a lot is uh I want to see how Bronn performed with this like when he when he was uh in Cleveland like his first years and he was carrying that team every year like he was different like his it was it was all on his shoulders and he played like that I think as he got more help he became more passive and he started to do the right you know make the right play and shit like that but as a as a OG basketball fan I like I like greedy players I like Kobe go and take 30 shots dog put it on your back I like that type of shit I'm hoping he does that this series you know because his skill set is still I did watch one of the Lakers game is still it's because that is pretty fucking unbelievable right now his age but uh yeah I'm excited I'm gonna watch that one man yeah I think they might get uh might get a hand at two of them this time but he'll get swept though I'll put money on that oh that won't get swept okay all right I'm gonna say we'll bet you bet that I mean if I wanted to bet him get swept I'd do it on Draft King sportsbook where I bet it's I'd guess they're plus 400 for a sweep um but we'll see uh there are two airplane stories in the news do you feel stronger about spirit airlines closing down or did you see the the crash with the truck in Newark uh I heard about spirit airlines I did not see the crash but if this is a little clip of it in your email let me check it out what it is uh I've always thought flying into Newark they get dangerously low like because the highway's right there right next to the airport did he die no they said he's he had non-life threatening injuries it hit the back of his truck I mean if that had you know gotten the cab dog well I'm glad that brother survived but this is probably the best thing could ever happen to him he ain't never going to have to work again holy shit he's gonna soothe the absolute shit at who what what air level united oh yeah he didn't get that check congratulations to him you may not even have to sue him they may just call you and be like what what what's it gonna take for this to just go away I'm gonna need whatever they whatever they offer I'm doubling you don't take the first offer when you get hit by a plane bro I'm I'm tripling now I'm like you tell me this is bad brother I bet he had more years lining up 100% financial advisors calling him right now trying to get in trying to get in the bag yeah yo shout out to him he is about to now if I ever wanted something to happen to me it might be that a non-life threatening injury from being struck by a plane oh yeah it's not especially united united is my airlines like I love united I only fly united so if they hit him I'm like listen first off the rest of my life off top and my family you know what I'm saying period right all bloodline related to me is getting free flights for the rest of my life and I want I think mark Cuban I want to say it's Delta he said in the maybe 90s he bought a pass for free first-class flights for life well not free he paid for it obviously but unlimited and how much uh it was not nearly enough it was he said it says after selling his first company he purchased 125 thousand dollars that's it I would do that right now no question I would do that right now what holy shit and it's like everybody voice on the pop I know I don't know what happened to my voice like it I lost it last week then it came back and now it's gone again this says after selling his first company he purchased a lifetime American Airlines air pass American and it was 125 yeah I bet he has spent tens of millions of dollars flying in the last 30 years I mean especially he probably he's fly private now but he also he's a billionaire so he ain't gonna fit he ain't gonna feel he don't feel his uh his private playing he wasn't then though because I remember him he taught when he talked about it he was like it was a lot of money still at the time but he was like I will for sure use it over the course of my entire life is he ever uh is there a wife I think so he has kids I think I'm sure it has to be his ID yeah well yeah you may maybe you right but uh shout out to that dude man for um his life has now changed man uh united take care of my boy you still got a loyal customer of me hey sometimes pilots fly low you know what I mean shit happens uh I'll still be using your services just take care of my boy I am pretty much exclusively united now as well it's just a good airlines dog like you know because I hear I hear stories about you know some people have had problems with them and I hear stories about other airlines all the time they lost my bags and I have never had one issue with united I've never lost a bag I've never had bad service I think that they could do a better job of like there's like a transition in from like the older models like especially the interior where they don't got um tv's on the seats but that's just me being an american consumer you know I'm still flying on a bird I'm good I do need the one thing speaking of the tv's they don't have live tv they just have movies and stuff I need live television in case there's a game on or something I need that fair enough I will say yesterday the wi-fi was incredible that's what I'm saying I've just never I've never had a problem with united they gotta customer of me for life um and you know and I've had a problem uh and you and I you know when we fly united they put the little that little orange priority tag on your bags and they come out quick as hell they do actually I've never really had a problem waiting for bags you know two bags free even golf clubs golf clubs free dog golf clubs and they fly with me they fly with me player yeah shout out to people are united man take care of my boy advertise on the show we'll say even better stuff 100 first one's free and that first one's free next one we can embellish it a little bit you know maybe a personal experience or two all right give me the other plane story man what happened with the other plane uh r.i.p spirit airlines shut down effective immediately I know you're you're a big fan of spirit as we just know yeah yeah I love spirit um I that's so how did they did something happen is that just a free market deciding yeah I think they were on the the verge of bankruptcy and they were lobbying for like a 500 million dollar bailout and the government was like no thanks well yeah I don't I'm kind of indifferent about it I mean I know I'll say this I know a lot of people talk shit about spirit but like for people who have a little bit lower income it is convenient um and it helps them out they want to travel um and ticket prices can be a little pricey a lot of the time with other airlines so I think from that aspect kind of sucks I always hated that about them though because they advertise like hey we're so cheap and then they're like oh you want a seat on the plane well that's an additional 18 dollars oh you want to bring a backpack that's 20 and then it ends up not even being cheaper I I'd have to do the analytics on that but um from my understanding it was it was lower it's it's a little cheaper but like if I even bringing a carry on is like an additional charge and you know the whole they they charge for it they nickel and dime a lot I think I don't think there should ever be three seats in a row I think that's the most capitalistic greedy shit in the world to me like they're gonna be okay if like the the company will operate fine the CEOs will operate like everybody gets on flights on a day daily basis let your let your customers be comfortable bro like I hate that shit getting packing people in then it's just like everybody next to people yeah it just it just ruins you you know what I'm saying you got a five hour flight though you in the middle seat like oh I couldn't do it like like literally my fit my body and all the injuries have accumulated over the years I can't I can't sit upright and not be comfortable for five hours straight like I don't fuck my back up yeah you know what I love is when I fly to Knoxville it's usually on smaller planes and the first class is one on each side and that's oh it's amazing I like that one too I'd much rather be on that than like a brand new plane that has all the bells and whistles and stuff just give me one seat except for have you ever been in a pot the big johns um so when I flew to London uh it was not not I don't think what you're talking about but it was a huge plane that was pretty new this summer when we go to Hawaii we're in like the first class like lay down on a like a new plane so that'll be cool there you go I went to Japan and they had they had us in I did it was like first class ticket to Japan it's like like eight ten grand it was it was a little penny but uh to me it was worth it like it's you in this pod and like it's like a little fucking apartment almost shit's amazing I was like I could sprawl out I can't just lay down like I could sprawl out roll over like if I had a anyway it was a great experience if you had a what I had a I know I know yeah you know it's uh it's a lot of room in there that's all I'll say yeah it's uh I'm looking forward to it I've never been in like I I've seen the all the YouTube videos of Emirates first class and all that stuff so I think that's what I was on I think I think uh what else you got on your list today only one other like story uh you you saw that thermos will like shoot you with their water bottles and poke your eye out yeah I know what the fuck is this what wait what is there thermos oh this is a brand I thought that's what they were called I didn't want to admit that but I thought that as well I did not know it was a brand it's like a Kleenex type deal yeah um so according to an April 30th recall notice from the company and posted on the United States consumer product safety commission website if perishable food or beverages are stored in the container for an extended period of time the stopper can forcefully eject when opened which can result in serious impact injury and laceration hazards to the consumer uh and I guess people have suffered like permanent vision loss from this happening I don't even understand I understand what those words mean but I'm trying to envision how that happens the malfunction is due to multiple models of containers missing a pressure relief function in the center of the stopper uh I mean can you imagine you go to drink out of your water bottle and something shoots out like a bullet at your eye but that's only if you leave food in it right yeah it says perishable so I don't I don't really get what's going on here but I'm saying thermos received 27 total reports of users who were struck by a stopper that forcefully ejected from these containers upon opening including complaints of impact and laceration injuries requiring requiring medical attention I can think about somebody doing it and happening in front of me I will laugh at this sounds bad you getting your ass pulled by thermos let me have let me practice I'm I'm trying to practice um more kindness in my life I love that I sympathize with somebody who struggles with uh containers for food and beverage that may have sustained laceration I sympathize with that I wish them well yeah I mean that sounds like it really uh sucks yeah me me no no today's made a fourth yeah I'm glad you brought that up because I let's do it it's I don't care about my birthday but I do care that it's been hijacked your birthday was hijacked before you was here no no no no no no no because I'm very keenly aware this happened in like 2013 14 is when this whole deal started because it was never I remember my junior year of high school my personal finance teacher coach Schwartz shout out he was the man uh he was a big big star wars guy and so on May 4th he you know did the whole kit and caboodle and I'd never heard of that before and then since then it has increased annually the the fanfare that very well may have been your introduction to May the 4th but May the 4th has been here since the very first I'm sure there were people doing it but it wasn't like this it was like this I don't think so so I'm a sci-fi guy right I'm not a star wars guy and so I'm a star trek guy right I'm a trekking star trek but May the May the 4th has always been around because Star Wars is is like the Star Wars versus Star Trek which I would argue Star Wars is like be careful with my words here it's the pop version of a sci-fi film with social commentary oh you're saying they're they're not the real ones oh no they're not deep at all they don't go deep with any kind of story narratives it's just very it's very bland good versus evil sure you know tell us all this time Star Trek goes into deeper social and cultural conflict interpersonal conflict it's a it's a much deeper introspective look into the human condition than Star Wars is but I understand the narrative and I understand you know good and evil it's like it's pop it's like it's a cultural phenomenon I get it it's cool by the way not for the first official Star Wars Day celebration at the Toronto Underground Cinema was in 2011 wait the first one the first official Star Wars Day celebration which happened at the Toronto Underground Cinema was in 2011 and once Disney acquired Lucas film in 2012 things really took off exactly what I said ain't no you're telling me nobody I'm telling you I a thousand percent for this I need a primary this is chat to PT I don't uh there's there's a link there's a link I'm clicking link I'm just telling you I believe there were things going on but it was not this cultural thing until 10 years ago 15 maybe oh no because I remember I was indifferent to Star Wars and then they they hijacked my birthday and now I dislike Star Wars I don't know let me click a stop okay so I asked when Star Wars became a part of Comic Con Comic Con is a huge like convention of like nerdy shit and in 1976 they were part of Comic Con well yeah I believe that but that's not what so but but you're talking about a specific what specific to May 4th that there was a celebration of May 4th yes that's what we're talking about I've heard of this May the 4th be with you since I was a child again again I believe people were saying it and that like it was a thing like oh May the 4th be with you whatever but as like it like there are people going to like events today and like that kind of thing that started recently I don't know the events I just know May the 4th be with you has been in the consciousness of the American lexicon since I was conscious I don't disagree with that but if I came Disney made it much much bigger have you seen all the series no I haven't I've seen a couple of the Star Wars movies like involuntarily but I I don't even think I've watched most of the movies involuntarily hilarious yeah like I don't remember I went with to one with my parents it was one of the the newer ones didn't enjoy it and I think I've seen like one of the old ones maybe but I've never really uh I just it's not it's not for me you know no they're not playing sports they're not uh you know whatever I tried it I definitely tried it um definitely not for me though not uh not a star what gamma uh I was I was I follow um uh Patrick Stewart on on IG Patrick Stewart for those that don't know is a Jean-Luc Picard he is the captain of the SS Enterprise in the next generation for Star Trek he's he I think he and I've seen all the you know I've seen Deep Space Nine I've seen the original series I've seen all the Star Trek I think personally this is a hot I don't even know the how it's that hot I'm gonna take I think Captain Picard is the best captain of all the Star Trek far none he's just amazing I love him but I was following him online I've seen he he he has this book where he reads um this audio book where he reads Shakespeare's work because he has like a dope ass voice um and you ever see somebody that you like revered you really fuck with and then you just see their you know their aging and that you know looks like it's knocking on the door for him and my man's looking kind of you know hopefully he has a long long time left to go but it was looking pretty looking real Joe Biden-esque you know that's never what you want absolutely not but I love him he's gonna be he's gonna be a legend in my eyes forever I think I've said this before on the show I haven't watched the last two or three episodes of the next generation of Star Trek because I don't want it to end in my head I feel very strongly about this they're still out there but but there are things that have happened that you don't know about I know so you you value the knowledge that it's there is still unknown then you value the knowledge of what happened I don't think I've ever thought about it that way but I think that is an accurate statement pretending to this yes this is so this I could use the fall to sleep today episodes like you know saying like just binge watch and then go to bed and they don't never get old to me I don't know I could watch the entire thing right now and be happy that I'm watching it and the last three or two I think it's two or three I haven't seen interesting yeah because then it's like it is then it's over in my head you know I don't want it to be over I don't know what this is kind of psychological condition this is but I don't want it to be over like I love it that much yeah that's weird because like I I've definitely had shows or movies or whatever that I was sad when they were over but I'm glad I watched it because I love it so I want to know what happens yeah I don't I don't know I don't know man that's interesting but in but in my perspective coming out with three new episodes soon sorry are you ever gonna watch it I don't know you know I don't know about that maybe maybe maybe if I outlive Patrick Stewart which maybe it seems you will maybe yeah it's crazy man my dog hit my car you never know but maybe if something like that was to happen I'll honor him by finishing the series okay he's 85 I'm seeing he could have another another seven or eight in him yeah yeah um I have a nice glass of Earl Grey tea that was his favorite drink on the enterprise nice this guy's in uh he's the X-Men guy right yeah he was um uh professor fuck this is not good I believe it's Charles Xavier and the only Charles Xavier I cannot believe I miss him and the only reason I know that is in the uh Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn comedy the internship yes they uh they call well it's not him right they think it's yeah they call a guy in a wheelchair a bald guy in a wheelchair professor Xavier because the the kids told him and they don't know what it means yeah one of the all-time hilarious comedies of my day is that comedy still be that kind of comedy still being made no uh Vince Vaughn or Wilson no uh Paul Rudd that kind that whole that was an era yeah we we're done we've we've seen them all what's the best comedy that's came out lately like what's the best modern comedy I mean there were still like rom-coms coming out that are not at the same level of like 1980s 1990s rom-coms no or like 2000s that would already be 2000s yeah um I mean Jennifer Anderson was the love interest on every one of them yeah I mean if you want to say like devil or his product I don't know if I would classify that as a comedy the one that just came at two yeah have you seen it no not yet but I've heard it's pretty good it's classified as a comedy like on google but comedy but that's also a sequel legalized comedy man yeah um let's see yeah they don't they don't make movies like that anymore um this is your first I'm an adult statement I think no we've talked about this yeah no there's just no who was it that was saying uh it's because there's no DVDs anymore oh it was Matt Damon he was like comedies could survive because even if you didn't make a ton at the box office you knew the DVD was coming in a bunch of people would buy the DVD and that's how they made a lot of money and now there's no DVDs so studios don't want to make comedies anymore money money I said I'll say art should be subsidized I've always said that money ruins art it turns it into a commodity and so the instead of like focusing on the craft of it you focus on the profitability of it and it's fucking ruins it it ruins it watered down music music they don't make music like they used to anymore now everything is fucking synthesized yeah how can I go viral yeah rather than like how can I spend a life's work on a piece of art that means something like it's just I don't know and now any song that comes out I've heard it for three weeks on tiktok and I'm sick of it and I don't even want to listen to it well and you haven't even heard the whole song you've heard the 15 second snippet of it that's viral that but like it is crazy that now record labels are making it where it's like make like tiktok music is part of the thing it's like will this go viral on tiktok and then now part of their marketing approach is that they'll pay let's say a record label's artist like artist a is coming out with the song they will pay influencers on tiktok to use the song or influencers like make a dance to it so it's like you're like all of a sudden you're like why am I hearing this song over and over again I have no interest in this artist it's because the record label is paying people on tiktok to just use it as much as possible to get eyes on it instead of like the radio that's the only like influence really other than relationships that record labels have anymore because they don't really have any control over what the public has other than payola and getting people to spend it which payola has always been a part of the music business so like they used to pay djs to spend certain records as well like you'll put this on and put this in the rotation it's the new wave of that yeah I think the difference now is like everything's so curated so like you have a specific genre of specific artists that you like and you can go straight to them so that's the only difference it's just now the record labels you should subsidize the artists by giving them advances and now there's really not a lot of money in it like that so you have to create virality and suck the teeth of that monster right and it just becomes very yuck and I'm not even like one of them old cast that's like like some of my favorite music that's came out is is current like I love like I made a top 100 songs of all timeless um and like I got chiles gabino on there what song um red bone if you want it yeah red bone um that's on there um I think I have this actually is let's get into that I was I was at a bar in uh Vegas like a hotel bar and I was next to this dude he's what are you doing man he's just like being nosy I was like I'm creating a top 100 of all time songs list he's like really I was like yeah I was like like Stephen what's on it so I started naming songs he's like oh oh this is a list man I was like oh yeah absolutely I am curious what you'd put is like the top five songs ever because my favorite songs change often see and this is why I didn't number them I'm not gonna know this is not a sequential this is just when I when I listen to to me it's like some of the best music that has been put out and I did factor in some somewhat its cultural impact right but it still has to be quality in my again this is my list but you know like for instance like baby shark has a huge cultural impact but I don't think it's one of the best songs that would be made right fair enough um uh so watch here here's here's the first you know on the list here's the first couple of them everybody wants to rule the world tears for fears come on everybody wants to that shit is just it's just gorgeous right uh Wonderwall by Oasis solid yeah okay Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen by like I don't even care what nobody says that is one of the best composed songs that has ever been written by human being I love that song Fly Like An Evil Steve Miller band oh yeah uh when Doves cry Prince beautiful song um so and this one I took in cultural impact and um uh because I don't I have I have Michael Jackson on here I think two or three times um but I put Billie Jean on there I think Billie Jean had a really big cultural impact and I think it's just one of his best jams sonically uh Dream On by Aerosmith we've got some representation in here I like oh hey hey when one came when it comes to music a phenom don't discriminate I love me some love that I love in carcassity in my music um I'd be I'd be missing the the the white music I grew up with I used to jam that shit bro I love that shit in the air tonight Phil Collins come on yeah come on come on uh Living on a Prayer yeah on Jovey um okay so here's like a more contemporary not like super contemporary like you know what I'm saying but still like it's one of the best songs of all time crazy by Narls Barkley and CeeLo beautiful beautifully written song dog I don't I like it I don't know that I'd put it in like top hundred ever but so because it's to me I took penmanship into consideration too because I'm a writer dog so when when he says I remember when I remember when I lost my mind something so special about that place even your emotions have an echo and so much space that shit is fucking oh my god it's just it don't get better than that writing wise I don't know I think they killed that whole thing production all I try to remember what video game that was on it was like a madden or a 2k like could be 0708 ish yeah probably around that time yeah uh oh September earth when the fire come on all right and this one again cultural impact it is the best music video of all time get the song thriller yes absolutely absolutely uh what you won't do for love bobby carwell I don't know that song what I don't know if I know it either what you won't do do for love you try to everything but you won't give up no you're welcome well you're welcome I'll check it out listen to it listen to that to the pot it is one of the best songs of all time though 1979 oh yeah uh shade smooth operator good operator come on big t you don't know that one I do know that song um this artist is someone I've heard the name but I never I would have never known a song or anything but I do know that song let me introduce you to shade my brother shade is the audio equivalent to sitting on a mountain peak top overlooking the city the sun is going down it's a perfect temperature and you're just extremely grateful the gratitude is shining through and it's not light it's not dark it's everything that's shade I had I had an experience this weekend and it's happened to me enough times that I've noticed it now and this seems like something you'd be interested in I I found myself in times this only happens when I'm like very happy or like grateful and like just I was playing golf with my friends were in front of this like beautiful the rocky mountains are in the background like snow capped it's just the most beautiful thing you've ever seen I'm like the weather was perfect I was like this is amazing and then I was like one day relatively soon we're just all gonna be dead yes sir and it it only happens to me when I'm I'm like having a great time and I hate it sir and I don't know how to stop it and I don't like it this is exactly what what I was alluded to earlier when I was listening to Alan Watts Alan Watts is explaining nothing matters right and nihilism nihilism gets this rap like it's you're depressed and that's not the case and he he said it very eloquently when nothing matters nihilism isn't despair it's um what did he say he said nihilism isn't despair it's like it's like uh ah what's the word cut me out I don't know but like I don't believe that though is the thing like you do or else you wouldn't have felt that so this is the thing when you when you are so grateful because a part of if if death didn't happen you wouldn't have anything relative to compare it to so you wouldn't be so appreciative of life that wasn't for death which is why he was saying like nihilism is not this like despair it's like it's like a it's like a realization it's like understanding and then he had this other quote where he's like trying to control like a lot of times that's what we do right we try to control our circumstances and situations like trying to control things is like hold it trying to hold on to the sunlight the harder you the harder you grip the more it eludes you and it turns into darkness he's like just let it be and let it go you just had that moment you had that moment of like I'm so grateful that I understand this moment isn't gonna last forever that is the beauty of life and to me that's what nihilism is it's it's not despair it's just realizing like we're here for a fleeting moment this universe depending on your belief system billions and billions of years old and we're here for a snapshot if that man this is a beautiful thing I love it and it's those moments where it happens because you had a you had a nihilistic moment yeah it wasn't a bad thing though was it I mean it's it wasn't good or bad necessarily it was just some and it's happened to me a couple times that's a perfect description it wasn't good or bad it just was things aren't good or bad they just are things are yeah you had a snapshot into my worldview right to the big D that made me happy yeah yeah it's just it's I don't know that I attached like it was just it's just something I've I've noticed I think it's a beautiful feeling I think when it happens more and more to what happened more and more to me I that kind of changed my worldview that's that's why I started to think like what is all this like that's gonna get real deep down into the rabbit you see that's where I think the difference is is like that that thought we diverge from that thought fair enough man different creatures one of my favorite quotes a lot of times by Mark Twain he says we need differences of opinion he said what would be the point of horse races shout out to Mark Twain Kentucky Derby what about that did you watch it on Saturday oh oh I've never watched the Kentucky Derby I'll be honest did y'all y'all watch it we watch it but I don't I don't get it I feel like it's it's us holding on to like you know part of America's past time yeah lead ism you know it's like do they still sell cracker jacks at baseball games yeah I like the only place you'll get them right yeah that's the only place you're gonna think about getting it unless you're like a huge stop at the gas station and be like I need some cracker jacks though yeah I think that's a very specific niche group of people yeah also cracker jacks not they're not that good no I like cracker it's peanut butter popcorn isn't it it's like it's like yeah kettle corn and kettle peanuts I love kettle corn though there's not enough kettle corn representation in the world I don't know if I saw the kettle corn I could identify I mean it doesn't look that much different it's just the the taste I guess kettle it's caramel corn I the kettle corn I think is different yeah kettle corn is uh caramel but caramel cone just has a caramel on it yeah um note Kentucky Derby is fun for like like actually two seconds because the race is so short and you I guess every year I forget that the race is just I think it's like a minute and a half and then you're like oh we're kind of all wearing these crazy hats for nothing huh like now it's done yeah I mean there's like 20 races before it but yeah but like but nobody watches those no I will also say uh Mackenzie and I watched it together this weekend I feel really bad for the horses they just make me kind of sad this this goes this goes into a pft one of pft's best bits of all time in my opinion that somebody asked him if you could be any athlete of all time like would you be and he said a race horse right secretariat but it makes me so also one they are the ones at the Kentucky Derby I mean horses are big and scary in my opinion anyway but the ones at the Kentucky Derby you can see it on the tv are just I mean pure muscle they're so big and tall they're insane and then I feel so bad just because I don't I don't know it just makes me feel a little bit dirty because they they're so young and then I think that's their only use and if they don't do well I don't think they get treated very nicely after all the time you just described human athletes as well yeah but yeah but like human athletes don't get like shot if they don't win a race I don't think they get shot some of them do in in other countries and try being a referee that makes a bad call in like an Argentinian soccer match so maybe I just have way more sympathy for the animals that I do like a basketball player right but I also felt so bad because watch Kenny watch Kenny Smith walk up to the big screen the like the NBA the TNT guy oh yeah man it's bad oh but like one of the horses that was supposed to be in it who randomly enough had a barstool his jockey had a barstool sports sponsor on his leg which I didn't realize we were doing but he like bucked as they were trying to get him in the corral and fell over and then he was just done and then he had a scratch the Kentucky Derby and they spent so much time you know and again this happens with athletes too like they tear their Achilles or you know tear their ACL before a championship game I understand that that happens in real life too but this poor horse got scared bucked and then fell straight on his back it was so sad and then now he's just done it's not built for the moment like that makes me so sad and they're so pretty but they're so terrifying to look at horses yeah yeah I want to know clearly they know they're racing but how do we teach them that I think you just like they know they know they're supposed to go fast do they know that like they're they're winning I don't I don't know that they value being faster than another horse like we do um they just know they're supposed to be going fast they say yo dude on top of me is hitting me yeah I gotta go right is that just some of their like their brain chemistry is I mean and they train them so obviously there's some sort of training involved with like getting it to go fast so I don't know that there's ever been an animal in human history that we've observed that says that asks why I think that would denote conscious like um yeah consciousness I guess and I don't think or is our self self-awareness awareness yeah there you go uh I don't I don't know that we've ever had an uh an animal maybe a dolphin has self-awareness I think has shown self-awareness they do a bunch of stuff that like only humans do yeah so maybe though I think well is due to uh uh orcas but other than them I think every everybody else is kind of just evolutionarily programmed to do whatever they do I gotta I gotta run because fucking something's telling me to run I'm sure it's also some sort I mean of like Pavlov's dog in a training sense of I run fast I get carrot or some sort I mean right you'd yeah I get I get treat yeah yeah I don't know how else you really train an animal besides reward that's that's punishment like pain I guess I'll be fucking with my dog sometimes I'll be like yo this is crazy so like before and my trainer told him told me to do this like before I feed him I'll put the food down and say leave it like don't touch it and he just like sits there and waits for me to say and it's just like it's it's teaching him obedience so that like you know so he doesn't run out on the street and get hit by a car that's that's the that's what I was told like but he did that anyway but like that's that's the thing like it's just obedient because like rarely do you see that in humanity like that's usually my force like he he just does what I say because this is kind of yeah this is kind of sad took his freedom right but I imagine there's no other really way to train a horse then get a carrot the faster you go reward or beat yeah exactly yeah pain but if I it is it's a fun little thing to have to have a party for but it does make me kind of sad yeah but you should visit a chicken coop or slaughterhouse that's what I would not like to I sometimes unfortunately this is if there are any vegans out there they're gonna be like oh she's such a bitch for this but I have to have some level of like cognitive dissonance when it comes to that kind of stuff like eating meat unfortunately yeah because I don't like thinking about it like that I was a vegan for a year and some change oh yeah yeah yeah back in the league and I was never got hurt didn't you no I thought he had like his best year oh really yeah that was the propaganda around it that I went vegan right before the 2012 season didn't miss a game made the Pro Bowl brother was uh first or second theme all pro so maybe it takes a year to kick in uh whatever yeah maybe it's a delay you gotta eat feed the propaganda brother but I was in the vegan for ethical reasons uh I understood ethical reasons um but I I don't really view animals in that sense like I'm not trying to save the animals like I do believe that they suffer yeah but I just think suffering is part of life um is what it is um but the the ethical part of veganism was it's I mean it's a real thing like and it kind of coincides with the other belief systems too like climate change if you believe the climate change is real or if you look at climate change data and understand it factory farming is a huge uh factor in climate change all those and the CO2 from the cows that absolutely can helps not helps it adds to the CO2 emissions so yeah man shout out to vegans though it's hard to do very hard to do the vegan who actually hates animals could be a funny uh like that's like a funny sketch bit that would be just do it for like the climate change reasons I did it for health I did it for because there's some studies I think like moderation is key for sure but I think if you eat like a plant-based diet it can prevent a lot of shit um but you have to get all your vitamins in you have to supplement B12 shit like that but I did it for health reasons I do it because like I I care about chickens and dogs and I don't need dogs bro thank you for clarifying you know I don't want anybody to yeah I'll I'll never stop eating chicken wings man you can show me whatever you want you know lowkey has the best fried chicken dog hang on so lowkey so this is not a chicken spot this is not a chicken is this like a this is a national chain no this is just like in your local area I guarantee some of the best fried chicken you're having are you gonna say like an asian restaurant yes dog Korean fried chicken absolutely I don't know why that is they be fucking that shit oh yeah I'm like yeah there was a place um in New York it was called bonechone it's a chain they're they're other places but it was like a Korean fried chicken spot it was amazing we'd go all the time so I went to this place called happy crab and it's a seafood boil place so I go there I get like snow crab legs I get the crawfish you know what I'm saying like good spicy stuff and then one time we ordered um some some wings for my daughter some some fried chicken wings for my daughter just like you know I'm saying she don't she don't really like seafood like that and she didn't eat them all and I was like let me try with them jumps and I was like this is some of the best fried chicken I've had in Houston yeah the way they fry it I think is different whatever they're doing and it's and it's an asian owned spot I should know it's an asian owned like it's all the owners are asian but it's wild asian owned seafood crab boil that makes some of the best fried chicken like going on in that scenario but yeah Korean fried chicken's awesome um yeah lovely do we have any voicemails run them shits before we do the voicemails they're brought to you by shady rays which I wore this weekend in Denver Colorado quick question guys how are my shady rays basically the same

sunglasses try for yourself the shades rated five stars by over 300 000 people voicemail hey this is will from north carolina I was calling to see everybody's thoughts on the new college sports regulations between the executive orders from trump and the new rules the five years to play five seasons all that stuff that the ncda is put it out recently I was wondering if you guys could make a perfect college football or college sports in general governing body what would that look like thanks stay handsome stay beautiful all right so let me see key components of saving college sports order include eligibility and transfers a five-year participation window with exceptions for military missionary service and restricting athletes to one restricted transfer financial and other rules prohibits these are federal funds for name like this image um enforcement direct federal agencies to assess whether schools nil and transfer policies which may violate the order render them ineligible for federal grants so I think we'll ask three questions the the executive order which uh from what I understand I haven't read all of it but I just kind of outlined yeah a lot of it is unenforceable it's kind of it that doesn't mean a lot from what I understand then there is the new proposal from the ncda of just straight from the time you enter college you have five years you can play all five and then that's it you're done uh which I like and then uh then he asked about if we were to create an enforcement arm the problem with that is people bitch about the ncda all the time and the ncda is a terribly corrupt organization that has done a lot of that stuff the ncda is just the schools like the schools comprise the ncda when this when people say these schools are going to break off from the ncda and form their own thing they're going to go form something else that will be akin to the ncda like yeah but the ncda is its own separate governing body that doesn't have any other oversight to it so they make up their own rules and regulations which is why correct but they only have any power because the schools allow them to no they only have any power because they monopolize it the school like so if we if I was to break if I'm a school if I was to break from the ncda I could create an entirely different league that rivals them but I could like let's infer it's I could pay my players right let's say I strike a tv deal let's say the sec breaks from the ncda which I don't think would be a bad thing it would force the ncda I would love it because it would force the ncda to incentivize schools to want to be a part of it and this is why I think unions are so important you let the players unionize meet their needs with the school's needs and then you have a a more fair business but I but I to your point I think that the ncda is not just the schools it's its own entity that has I think very successfully hoodwinked people into uh how they marketed athletes for years and this is they're just now scratching the surface on how to pay players so yeah I think I think them being rival would be a positive but go ahead I'm sorry I mean I think I think in the next decade I would hypothesize that at least the sec and big 10 will secede in some fashion I don't know what form that takes but I think we are not far at all from a a super league of sorts which I hate and but what it's it's gonna happen because those two leagues drive all the revenue and have all of the best teams and they want to keep everything for themselves um in terms of how I would structure things currently I think you get five years you can play all five no red shirts blue shirts anything you have five years use them how you'd like you get one free transfer no questions asked transfer wherever you want you may then transfer again without penalty if your coach is fired or leaves and then other than that you got to go back to sitting out a year because the guys who play at four schools in four years it's just it's it's not fun and and I and I do recognize that they are taking advantage of a system that gives them the ability now to make the most money and that's great but I do think we have to have some semblance back of like I mean you don't even know who's on your team anymore it's crazy oh I wouldn't mind that so there was a who was it Michael Irving that had that whole soliloquy about there is something to be said about if you were in training camp or if you were in offseason and you get beat and somebody's beat you just leaves rather than yeah rather than transferring like the the thing that does help people and help me you know what I'm saying is I there's somebody that's better than me currently or at least in the eyes of these coaches there's somebody's better than me gotta compete you know what I'm saying there's something to happen yeah and there's something to that like I do agree with that notion but also and this is why I say money ruins everything if you have a better opportunity I can't argue with kids and I'm not saying you are I'm just saying in general I can't argue with kids desire to go and do that because I came from nothing so if some kids coming from nothing and they say hey we'll get you a hundred grand a year and I can I can go back and send money to my mom I'm a thousand percent doing it I don't go fuck about none of that competition this is about no and that's fine I understand that notion and so it's hard for me to want to regulate that because if we want to be a free market capitalist society like we claim to be then I then the regulations on it seem to be only for the enjoyment of the consumers and not for the workers the people the kids who are actually producing the product so it logically doesn't follow to me to try to cap their market value well first of all I did I did say one transfer whatever you want and then even if your coach gets fired you can transfer again it's just it's the four years and four four schools and four years I'm saying but let me finish let me finish in professional sports we don't allow guys to be a free agent every year because that's insane you sign a contract we're going to pay you a lot of money and you play for us for two three four five six whatever years and then at the conclusion of that contract we can reassess and if you've accrued enough value that you think you can go make more money somewhere else then you have the opportunity to go do that but we don't just let guys play for a different team every year because that's insane if a guy what if if a guy what Dorel Rivas for example if he wanted to he could I'm only signing a one-year deal and then prime Dorel Rivas who arguably the best quarterback of all time you're going to sign him for that one year that he wants to right and you and you keep re-upping for one year and you can you will be a free agent every single year and get top dollar and to go to a team of your choice that is the free market what I what what what I was kind of getting to was I don't see how logically we can want to cap the market value of it of a young athlete because it doesn't feel good especially because we don't do it with the coaches but I mean that's a separate argument I don't want to cap how much money they can make make as much money as you can no no coaches sign contracts no you're capping you're capping their market value by dictating where they can and can't go that is capping their market value I guess you can make that argument to an extent but like it's not like they're playing for free they're going to make a bunch of money they still have the ability to transfer but again if we are free market capitalists and if I know a big T big T is one then we then then logically explain to me how other give me a reason why other than it doesn't feel good should we cap their market well I have said forever as the system is currently constructed like these guys are just doing what makes the most sense if you're a great player you should enter the portal every single year even if you don't go somewhere else you can end up staying at Tennessee or wherever but you should enter the portal and be like hey I'm gonna go you know see what what it's out there and guys are getting offers regardless of if they're in the portal or not it's a it's a clusterfuck um but like coaches the the argument was always well coaches can leave whenever they want but the players can't well coaches sign six-year contracts and if they leave they have to pay a buyout to the school to buy them out of their contract all I'm saying is these kids now that they are signing revenue share contracts with the schools they should be real contracts like hey this is a two-year contract if you want to sign it we are gonna pay you four million dollars to play basketball here for two years if you break it you owe us that money back and at the if at the conclusion of two years you think you can go make more money somewhere else then your contract's up and and best of luck to you but if you're signing a contract it should be a real contract that's all I'm saying legally obligated to fulfill that contract I'm I'm fine with that I would just argue that in order to protect because if I'm coming out of high school I am kind of ripe for for picking on understanding legal jargon and getting into contracts as an 18 year old 17 18 year old kid so I would argue that the NCAA would have or at least have a certificate some kind of certification for financial and legal representation for these kids because that's a lot to take on and and and the the irony of all this is we're doing all this to instead of just calling us what it is it's a farm club we just don't want to do that and and pay them as workers give them workers compensation like all that shit that because we're still avoiding all of that conversation and it's what it is we finally agreed to pay them something or let them have their their name and likeness be monetized but we're still avoiding that main conversation is that they are workers and this is a business and they should absolutely have be able to be unionized have workers compensation all of these things health care all these all these things is we're in the baby steps of this but that's that's what it's going to eventually lead to because all of this is just we're avoiding it with all of this said since we've been recording the number one player in the basketball transfer portal jukers did announce he's going to tennessee so juk we love you buddy welcome we are very excited to watch you play next season you are an awesome ball player and uh and and and we love the portal it's the best part about the other thing i just said we're gonna we're gonna be so good next year dude we're gonna be incredible well congratulations man yeah juk welcome buddy welcome to rockin top baby we love the portal that's you it's hilarious we got any more voicemail hey guys this is garret from pennsylvania calling in uh question for you guys um i'm getting married in july and trying to get some songs figured out here so my fiance and i have a first dance song picked out but i'm trying to narrow down a song for the mother's son dance so just want to see if you guys got any ideas talk amongst yourself i know big jesie and man is here coming up so maybe he got something that would maybe spark my interest in something not like huge big T believers so he could very much weigh me um anyways stay handsome stay beautiful um love the pod and uh go big T and we appreciate you brother so congrats on the wedding family yes i'll give i'll give my little tidbit on this i think the mother's because i can give you song suggestions right but to me that dilutes the the act i think a mother's son dance should have some kind of like there's there's gotta be a connection to the song for you guys so for me when i when i did get married a long time ago it was um uh the neon moon oh love that that's now which is also on my top hundred songs of all time by the way is it a thousand percent should be you you know what that song's about though uh it's it's not i didn't i didn't there's a rundown bar across the railroad track a table for two way in the back where i sit alone and i think of losing you yeah no no it's the song doesn't work like it's the content of song i love the song correlated to me and my mom it's just she used to play it all the time and that was my low key introduction to liking country music because i didn't grow up around a lot of people that listen to country music except for my mom and when she used to play that i used to love it when i was little i used to like run it back run it back and she loved that i loved it and so and it reminds me of my mom after i hear it and she and also she used to sing it all the time like when we did karaoke stuff that's her like one of her go-to songs so like when i listen to it i just think of my mom and so it's like it's a it's a connection to a song that has to do with my mother has nothing to do with the content or it could a couldn't but i just think that it should have some kind of connection to you and your mom so if y'all have a song if a song makes you think of her if a song with you a song makes her think of you i think that's that's that's what it should be i love that and it's one of my favorite songs ever it i do think at a wedding uh when you lose your one and only there's only room here for the lonely doesn't play as well but i love that y'all love that song another another beautifully written song watch your broken dreams dancing out of the beans of a nip the week after my wedding if you want to stay for a week we'll do the show the week after and the following friday brooks and done is here with morgan wallin at soldier field it's gonna be sick you had me with brooks you lost me with morgan well you can leave in the middle it's gonna be awesome um i do that song is just an amazing song beautiful song um i am garret believe it or not brother i'm in the same boat i've got five weeks uh i was actually having this conversation yesterday i don't know what song we're gonna do do you have like a list maybe we can i've got nothing i don't know brother did the same thing like my mom's favorite song is build me a buttercup so they did that song why do you build me up but that one yes that's a good one what's your mom's favorite song i don't know picture right now probably i would guess it's like the cranberries or something but right now ask her what her favorite song is so yeah i uh i'll text my mom we'll see what her favorite songs are and we'll look into it but yeah i've got to do that i've still got to do cake got a lot of stuff i got to do you know i do that too i'm asking my mom those two things my mom's favorite song is september by earth when fire there you go she got a little she got a little flavor i like that she was to come like whenever she would visit me at school she used to go up to the dj's at college bars and just flash september by earth when fire and say please play this and then they would every night and every dj loved that by the way i believe i have a meeting with the dj this friday so meeting that should probably be ironed out by then i won't be attending just to be clear but i think there is a meeting with your dj happening correct there have been meetings with lots of people that i have not attended how if i put in a go where for me hey there's gonna be a brother there and he might get a little saucy and request something do with that would you when you say a little song oh you mean drunk i'm gonna get you i'm about to get lead at your end but no but i when i thought you meant saucy like with the song we can do that too would you like how to like what kind of what kind of songs are you requesting it depends on how i'm feeling i'm definitely gonna do a vibe a temperature check i'm not just gonna play tupac you know i'm gonna play some we got we got some songs that i think you'll like okay cool you know i'm not gonna i'm not gonna request not like us i'm not gonna do it i should but i won't out of respect i think we're i think the vibe will be lower key for a couple hours and then once the clock hits a certain point we're we're gonna be like it's it's gonna change if you if you can't jam get on about the dance right because that's the one thing i hate at weddings is when people don't dance i will set that shit off if if there's any tenet in this big t don't worry i will set
