How many times you hit your head on the doorframe? 100 times. I can't even count. I can't believe how my head, like, look. Still a tat, damn. You've already built up a calis there, dude. He's just like, oh, now I like, oh, don't worry. Yeah.

No worry. Welcome to Almost Athletes with Dude Perfect, A Wave Original. We're the host, Gare, Sparky, and Ty is back in the big seat. What up, fellas? Back in the A block. I'm back. Where you belong, some would say. I'm just going to address.

the elephant in the room. DPU got a big upset against the Aggies. Well, some call it an upset, some called taking care of business. They're hot right now, dude. I saw the video. It was good, man. Thank you. Thank you.

DPU Pandas, some big games coming up. And if you're not familiar with the DPU Pandas, and you're like, I'm lost. I don't know what you're talking about. Dude, perfect gaming. Me and Spark started off on an adventure last year, kind of created the office roster. So we've got all the editors that play the front line.

And then all the skill position players, you know, we've got the guys spread out. Had a good season last year, went to the gas bowl. Won it. And then Panda Ball coach, our head coach for the DPU Pandas here in Frisco, came back for another season this year, thankfully. And things are looking very, very good right now. The NIL is nice with the Panas. NIL's pop in. We got our eyes on the prize.

We do. It's about to be playoff time in Texas. Yeah, excited about it. Some good stuff coming up. So check out Dude Perfect Gaming if you haven't yet. Oh, yeah. Jampack Week. And we got DPU upset World Series Game 7.

What a delicious game. We got Bobon. Marjanovitch stops by the studio. We're bringing on Cody later to do a little Harry Potter housing sorting out. That's going to be fun. Because he hates Harry Potter. I'm sick of it. I need him to get placed where he belongs in that Slytherin.

So we got a lot to do. Let's get to it. As a reminder, we want you to submit your Almost Athletes Moment to be featured on the podcast.

And boys, we're going back on tour next year. Yep, that's happening. This supposed to be the biggest best tour yet. New format, new cities. The official big announcement comes out in a couple weeks. I guess that wasn't the big announcement. That was a small announcement. It was a smaller announcement.

I'm hiring a personal trainer for this tour. No way. Yeah. Whoa, really? I get in shape. I think I need one too. I got to get in shape, dude. If I've got to perform and, you know, this is a big, this is a big athletic tour.

I love the outfit from you, by the way today. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, you know, it went cozy. It's cold outside and was like, dude. The matching top and bottom. And I really do. I love it.

I like the... Well, you can buy one. Well, I don't... I didn't get one? Nope. You know, they only made one. And I stole it. They quite literally only made one.

Yeah. Slack Stephanie was like, I need one of those. She's like, okay, we're going to have to wait. That's cool. It will be for a soon. Is the beanie? Is that here to stay for you now? It's a seasonal thing, yeah. Okay. And I like that you don't tuck the ears in, too. Well, it does get extremely hot, you know, when I go outside and then we protect the ears a little more.

But indoors, we let them pop a little bit. Nice. I like it. Thank you, bro. It means a lot. You'll have any Halloween stories to share with the piece? Dude, I had a solo Halloween. It was a very lackluster holiday for me. I actually feel bad. We found a needle in one of the Reese's. No, you did. No, we didn't, but I've always wanted to.

Yeah, it would have been crazy. You always see the videos and it's like, man, there's no way. I think people are just making stuff up at this point. Oh, they are. I love the one where it's like, I found a pair of Raiders tickets in my kid's skills package. That's funny. So here's, here's the crazy thing that I'm, I'm slowly learning, trick-or-treating with my kids. You know, when we were growing up, how'd you trick-or-treat? I don't know what you're fishing for. You went up to the door, you rang the doorbell. Yeah, trick-or-treat. If the light was on, dude, nowadays, days. It's like everyone's in their front yard. If you're not in your front yard, it's like,

do we go to the house? Do we don't go to the house? You're saying if they're not sitting on the porch, you're like actively there. Yeah. It's just completely changed. That is different. Yeah. And the etiquette of trick-or-treating is gone. To your point, the kids aren't asking trick-or-treat anymore. They're walking through yards. We need to scale back. Halloween a little bit. Yeah, we need a tech. These kids, because they're, you know, on their phones, they don't even know how to look you in the eyes and ask for a piece of candy. Trick-or-treat. No, it's like, dude, I'll take five of those and they're out. You're a five-piece-in?

You're supposed to take one. Oh, I'm just saying the kids, if you're just leaving a bucket. More etiquette. I was proud of my boys. They didn't. They respected the one. I didn't remind him. I kind of wanted to see how it plays out.

We've had some issues with Rett, our five-year-old at school. We've started, we've started, no, yeah, no laugh. It's a serious. We started calling him Sticky Fingers Rett because he's been, there's been some toys that have been disappearing and showing up at our house from school. He got his binder signed, and he's a bit of a kleptomaniac right now. But I was proud of him, Halloween, one piece of candy, and he stuck to it. So a lot of growth right there in the Tony House.

Did he dress up as one of the wet bandits? No, I was about to go to the zombie football players. That would have been, yeah, it was kind of sick. He'd make a great Marv. Yeah, he would. Let him would make a great Marv. He would. Yeah, Halloween was fun.

I ate way too much candy for my kids, obviously. I didn't trick-or-treat. Did you have them go and find you, like, some special pieces? I always send Barrett out with like, hey, some green and red Laffy Taffy. That's kind of like my... I'm a Reese's guy. That's what you request. Yeah, and if people are giving out full-sized Reese's, that's your dad tax.

Well, then I'll just kind of like, dude, there was this one family. They were given out just tons of candy, big, I mean, king size. Oh! Yeah, crazy, dude. And kids went up, got it. I was like, dude, they're giving king-sized Reese's. I'm just going to go up there and, you know, maybe they recognize me. Wow.

They did. They did. They gave me a king-sized Reese's. It was amazing. Look at you. You know you've made it win. Yeah. So, yeah, Halloween was fun.

And then what got more fun was Saturday night. Little World Series. What a game, dude. Game seven. One of the best baseball games that I can remember watching. I was going to go as far to say, maybe a top 10 sporting event, given the magnitude of what was on the line there. Yeah. It's incredible.

I love how baseball just writes a storyline for you. It's so cool to see a guy. Oh, you think it's scripted. No, not necessarily. But I got like Miguel Rojas, who makes 5-milly, you know, on a team that's a payroll north of 330 million. You got to have one of those guys, though, to win a series. The unsung hero in baseball is beautiful. I mean, but the night before, he doubled off the guy.

Yeah. The kind of crazy catch at second. Yeah, picked it out of the dirt. Then he goes and hits the game-tying home run. Down to two outs left in your season. And then he makes a great throw to home plate. Yeah. Which.

The force out. Backtrack, though, Rojas hadn't hit a home run since. middle September. That's how beautiful it is. But could you imagine if it ended where... I know. The lift kid. The Will Smith, Lift kid. Oh my gosh. He barely got his foot back down. Well, it was a very... It was a very... And then you show the replay and then it was like, oh, did he get his foot down? And he did, but it was... He definitely did. It was...

I'm going to put the picture of Odor punching Bautista. And then that in my office, because I can't stay in the Blue Jays. Yeah. I definitely didn't want the Blue Jays to win. The picture of the the slide where he definitely should have just run through the bag. Right. But it's natural to think to go to the dirt. The slide of him that far away, I mean inches from winning the World Series.

Isn't that the beauty of baseball, though? You literally reverse back to February. Pitchers and catchers report. You go through all your spring training in either, you know, Zona or Florida. You proceed to play 162 baseball games plus the postseason, and you find yourself that far away from winning a world series. Isn't it crazy how that works? That's why sports was that far away too. Nellie Cruz.

And I put that in the same realm in terms of like ball game legacy, that is right up there with the David Freeze, which we were on the wrong side of that, can still recognize that was one of the best baseball games. Game 7 in Cleveland when Rajay Davis at the game tying home run and the Cubbies ultimately got the curse lifted from them. That's right there within those. That was awesome.

As a neutral, and I was cheering for the Dodgers just slightly because of Kershaw. Congratulations, Clay. Dude, that's big time. What a celebration, dude, shirt off going nuts. It was pretty cool. He was tearing up. Where do y'all stand on the baseball salary cap? Are y'all cool with it being...

It's got to calm down a little bit. You want it to? I kind of find myself torn because from a fairness of play, I'd love to see a more restricted cap, but at the same time, all our other sports are hard caps. But like, how much do you need to make to play baseball?

I mean, dude, like, you're going to start paying these guys a billion-dollar contracts. Yeah. That's kind of nuts. It is nuts. It's wild. But I find myself torn

because I like the beauty of like ownership, you know, handing over money to create a good ball club. Part of me does, so. I mean, dude, I saw that tweet where the Japanese players, they're on a tear right now, man. Got the World Baseball Championship.

Yep. And in back-to-back World Series with Otani and Yamamoto. It's impressive. That'll be our next baseball. Yamamoto coming back and throwing again, too. I knew he, dude, I called it. When he went out in game six with 82 pitches, you're like, they're saving them.

I thought he might start game seven. I do feel like we've gotten a little protective of pitchers. Oh, 100%. Well, you could tell. I mean, they're... But I'm saying that's like more protected pitchers or NFL quarterbacks at this point. Oh, quarterback still. It's about the same.

It's about the same. I mean, the leash is short. Yeah, it is. It is. Which, I mean, it needed to be shortened. I feel like it's been a little excessive, but like it's a World Series. Go out and throw. Yeah, if you get you...

That's why you play the game. If Tommy John happens, it happens. You want a series. I agree. I'm in that boat. Yeah, I'm 100% in that boat. It was a 9.9 out of 10. Well, that fantastic,

fantastic ending to the baseball season. And it was gone so fast. It feels like baseball opening day was just a couple weeks ago. Winter meetings are right around the corner. And then we get the World Baseball Classic next March, which I'm a huge fan of. So that'll be fun.

Hopefully the Americans represent. But good baseball season could have been better with our Texas Rangers and better contingent. Do you think MLB is the best postseason? That's a great question. I, as a baseball purist, lean towards MLB and NHL being the best. I agree.

I think that's because the elevation from regular season to playoffs, you know, how much it matters. I also have to win the series. NBA is also that too, but like, to me, baseball and hockey, like, NBA, I feel like it's kind of like, the better team's going to probably win that. More times than not in a seven games series. Where MLB and hockey is kind of like, it's who's driving at the right time, who's hot, and the intensity too. Every pitch.

Every game NFL playoffs, like it's just anything can happen. Somebody's off their A game. But from a pure watchability, you cannot beat NHL playoffs in my book. I can respect that. I think MLB's close. Yeah. But I still think you kind of got to be a baseball fan to enjoy it. Oh, for sure.

You got to, for sure. NHL postseason, Stanley Cup. I mean, you can know nothing and watch it and just be in awe of what's going on on the guys. But to that point, we had the twins and Cody texting in our DP sports thread about it, which told me everything I needed to know about. You get them to watch a baseball game. That means it's serious. I'm not sure, Cody. I mean, Cody tweets about NASCAR, so, no offense, NASCAR people, but you're not a sport to me. Did Denny Hamlin end up winning it? I have no idea. I either do I just know that Cody said

25 lapsed till Denny Hamlin claims his first title. And then Corey, with the great text of like, hey, don't worry, Cody. People are just waiting to like and ha-ha message. That was great. Does it stack up against March Madness? That's my personal favorite. March Madness. Sporting event in the whole world. It's a seasonal thing because I'm a March birthday too.

So I think that plays into it. But yeah, it's hard to top the madness. Yeah, it's hard to top the madness for me. But what a baseball season. Yeah. Somebody's got to dethrone the Dodgers, though.

Now that it's back to back next year, if they find themselves in the same situation, I will find myself cheering for the other ball club. Yeah, Clayton's gone. I agree. As long as they're not going to eat. As long as it's not an astro or a yank, maybe. Yeah, I agree.

Now that Clayton's gone, I think... No personal ties. We can't film anything with any Dodgers coming on. We're done with the Dodgers. I think Clayton... Unless you guys want to hop on the pod. We'd love to get any of the Dodgers that just won the World Series. We'd love to have you and we'll cheer for you next year.

Yeah, yeah, for sure. I'll start working on my Japanese right now for that interview. I love that. Well, that moves us into the football slate. Yeah, so long baseball. Anything pop out to you guys? What did y'all do this weekend for football? I was at the ranch.

I was doing a little combo hunting and watching. football. Last night, I just got Red Zone up while you're hunting. But muted? Oh, yeah. No audio. No audio. But there's nothing better than watching your team just rack up points, watching

Brock Bowers go off for 44 points, whatever it was, while you're outside hunting. I mean, it's just beautiful. Just gorgeous. Did you get you anything? No, but just had a great time. Saw a bunch of deer. Bucks are moving right now. I'll tell you if you hadn't been able to get outside yet, the rut is on.

They are chasing those. and it is crazy out there right now. See, I actually think if you turn the volume up, it brings the bucks in. They also like a little red zone. They're like, oh, wait, Cincinnati's in the red zone. They also like a little red zone. Yeah, NFL record, Cam Little.

That was a... 68 yard. That was a poke. I can barely hit my pitching wedge 68 yards. I kind of... It's incredible. I'm sorry, I haven't watched a lot of Jaguar football this year. Yeah, I mean, but supposedly he's been on the struggle bus.

He has been, yeah. And I was kind of cool to see his coach come out and basically be like, dude, like, all you guys have doubted this kid they had the buy week and then he comes out Nails that for his first kickback There's also no time left on the clock So it's kind of a just

You have a first kick back though nails it And then he makes some pretty big field goals down the stretch I like to think Aubrey beats that this year I think they give him a chance to be in this year The coach too was like Yeah we got ourselves in the field goal range I mean we got ourselves in the range of Cam Little I mean 50 yard line dude

When does it stop Like is 75 in life? When Aubrey hits a 7 I think 75 80s in play in our lifetime. No. Yeah, I do. No way. I think so, dude. I do. How? What if you catch it downwind in Denver? I think the altitude. I think 80s. I think 80s in play with our, with our, in our lifetime. Because even little's 68 yarder, he had five, six yards. Remember when it was like beyond 40 when we were kids? You're like, oh dude, there's like a 5% chances kicker makes it. It's like 42 yards. When they added the five points for fantasy for a 50 yard, it's like, well, that's just never going to happen.

50 yards are guaranteed. They're guaranteed. If you're an NFL kicker, you're making a 50-yarder. You're at least capable. Very capable. Parents, raise your kids to be kickers and deep snappers. Dude, I agree. Except for the kid and prosper high school. Yeah, that was tough for you.

Yeah, that was tough for a lot for the kid. Well, you had a quiet Saturday. Yeah, it was nice having the Aggies off. Look, there's not a good team in college football. Like, there's not a dominant team in college football. There's not an 05 Texas or a, yeah, LSU from a couple years ago where it's like a surefire championship game type team.

That's beautiful though, man. Let's talk about U&T. Yeah, dude. Because like, the American, I think, should have a couple teams in the college football playoff. Yeah, it would be nice. Politics probably get the best of us. I just wish sometimes they'd come out and say,

hey, Nebraska's going to bring more fans than Memphis. Can we talk about the onside kick? Yeah. Can we talk about, dude. Fair catch? I had no idea you could even do that. Fair catch. I was actually coached that in high school.

That actually happened in Saline. That's unbelievable. Yeah. So basically to explain to the viewers, Navy, they're onside kick and they're, if you're only, I mean, you're still up by a couple. 14.3, I think, at the time. But they do an onside kick and beautiful onside kick. I mean, perfectly 10 yards.

Perfect, dude. And the U&T kicker fair catches it. So he has clear route to the ball, like you cannot touch him. Yeah, but it's got to be the pooch style. It does. Or the one hop. You can. Fair catch, the one hop that's drilled into the ground.

Yes. Either more. Yeah. Didn't know that. But did, so did he, is that what he did? Or did he do the straight. No, he popped up. He did a little poochy.

He poached it, but it was a perfect. Because even a one hopp. Up in the air. You can, what about a two hop? No. It's got to be a one hop. It's got to be the one hop. I didn't know that.

Mm-hmm. I didn't know that. And do the guy, and he gets drilled, but flag up. Fair catch interference. Yeah. Fair catch interference. Actually, a really good time to shout out Matthew from the Navy football team. I was lucky enough to stand on the sideline Saturday, the North Texas game,

and he turned around and looked at me and said, anybody ever tell you you look like Sparky from Dude Perfect? And I looked at him and said, anybody tell you that I am Sparky from Dude Perfect. But on behalf of the Navy football team, they gave me a football. The team's not in trouble. Thank you. Well, if they need it back, we can ship it to him. Sure, yeah, yeah, I told him that.

I hope he doesn't lose his job over that. Is that taxpayer dollars? Let me see that thing. Is this like Department of U.S. Naval Academy? That's nice. Yeah, it's PSI. It could be a ball, too. I know.

He didn't even give you a kicking ball. I know. He gave me the real deal. He doesn't get in trouble. He's a really good kid. Just happened to be on the losing side of things. But I also want to call out the AP poll for not putting us in the top 25.

I mean, what do we have to do at this point? You know? Win some more games, I think. I guess so. I think that's what you got to do. No, taken. But you've only lost to South Florida. I know.

Again, the politics brother. Memphis is lost to a lesser team. And Memphis is 25. And Memphis is ranked. South Florida. Florida. What do they rank? 25.

22. 22. I think so. It'll be interesting. To your point, though, Gare, it is so fluid in the college game right now. I'm telling you, if a U.N.C., like anybody, a 12 seat gets in that playoff,

they got shot to win it. Yeah. Like the whole, they can run the gauntlet. I still think Oregon is the team to watch. You've been on Oregon. I still think Oregon when it comes to time, I think they're the team to watch. All right, boys, time for almost sports, a segment that fits in so well here at almost athletes.

And today, we're talking about pillow fighting. Pro pillow fighting league. We've all done it before. When's the last time you've been in a really good? Like a real pilot? Like, yeah, like an extreme one. Like fifth grade? It's been a while for me.

Remember they used to have like preteen camp back at church? I mean, just think about the days before temperaedic pillows too. Oh, you could knock somebody out with the temperate now. Those things used to be filled with like double-A batteries back in the day. But if you got a good, a good like soft pillow that you could cram it all down and pack it in to the bottom of the pillow case, then you actually, that was like a modern day temperatechic. I mean, it was small, which is kind of what you want. Yeah. Is the salary cap just as good?

and this is it a baseball? I don't think they get paid as much as MLB. I was going to save it. Hockey, probably close. Okay. So is this a sport? It's an almost sport. Okay. Are there male and female fighters that do this? I don't know if women are crazy enough to do something like that. So people have been knocked out during these pillow fights. No way. Knocked on Congress. I want to see a video. Man, that's a tough thing to go home and tell your wife. Um, I got knocked out. As we're waiting for the knockout video, Ty. Uh, probably excluding you. You would probably be the best dude, Pillowfighter. I would love to be in an all-office pillow fight brawl.

You think you'd win it? I like my chances. I like his chances too. Just from a pure intensity and heart perspective, I like my chances. In fact, Tyler, I'd go further and say, I like your chances more in the pro-pillow fight league than the Taco Bell Marathon. I'm not going to lie. I've really thought about this yesterday.

Yeah, that you couldn't do it. Of retracting your statement? No. You're doubling down? You're a sick individual. But here's the thing about me, is I need something. to motivate me. And I did think about signing up for the, for the Taco Bell Marathon. Because you feel like signing up would be that moment where you fully dedicate yourself.

That would give me what I need. Something to look forward. Something like the bull ride. I need something to train for, to gear up for. Just the, the altitude is what's scaring me. I just, if it was anywhere else besides mile high city, I would feel comfortable doing it. That's what's holding you back. That's what's holding me back right now. But I really did. I was driving in the car, stopped at Taco Bell last night. This is why I was thinking about it. And, uh, and I was like, I could totally do this. Because by the time I stopped at Taco Bell, which is seven minutes from the house, I had already put down while driving, my cheesy gordita crunch, beefy five layer burrito with no sour cream, Doritos, Locos, Taco.

It's in seven minutes. Seven minutes. That's three entrees. I only got to do one at each stop. nine times, yeah. But we were, we don't have driving. I wasn't even expending any energy. Well, that's the thing is you're not going to be driving. I know. Yeah. I know. We were going to using those calories. We were going to have the winner on the pod for you. No way. Yeah. We'll try to still schedule him.

He had a conflict come up. No way. Yeah. He'd be an honor. And it also give me a good gauge. Like, let me see this guy. What's he look like?

Yeah. He looks like a beast. He does? Yeah. He does? Let's just say Taco Bell wasn't the only marathon. He's probably done burger kings and yeah. This guy special.

He probably went on to win the New York City one that just happened. This guy is special. He's in the New York City one. He's a commodity man. He's traveling. It's not. even a marathon, it's a 50K. It's an ultra. Yeah, it's like, yeah. Two hours, three minutes. Well, hey, dude, I think you sign up. And maybe we can feature you on the almost sport segment.

We're doing this next year. I hope you're ready. I think you do it. I will 1,000% to sign up. You'll run it with me? I won't sign up. Sorry, I'll be there as moral support. Yeah. Are you going to Denver, though, or do we need to throw in here in Dallas? Could we host our own here? I mean, it's not an official Taco Bell event. So it seems like it's a grassroots anybody. puts it on in Denver. If we can host our own at the same time and just give people another alternative to Denver, I will 100% take part in this race.

My first marathon ever, by the way. I've never done a half marathon. I think the longest I've ever run in my life straight is 10 miles. I'm in. What month is it again? If we're going to be the ones putting it on and organizing it, you can name your date.

That's true. How long do you think it'd take you to get in shape for something like that? A couple months. Get in shape. we're coming off Halloween Thanksgiving coming up No I do I need something

I need something to look forward to To me well kick you into gear Spring let's do spring Let's plan for a March April Something like that And you want Taco Bell I want T Bell There's enough T Bells here

Let's plan it dude You heard the man I'm in sign up Another thing that happened on the almost sports Was a record breaking catfish Was caught in Missouri dude Is you hear about this Tyler? No I did not This is right up your river

In Angler Missouri what would have been a state record, blue catfish. Big old blue cat, but he released it. Crops to him. Estimated to be 130 pounds. Wow. Okay, so explain to me why you would release that. Because what are you going to do with it?

I mean, catfish. You're going to show it off. Yeah, I think it's just kind of like... You're not going to eat it. That cat is way too... I mean, you could. You could theoretically eat it, but it's kind of a... It's like bill fishing.

Like it's kind of the nature of the sport, which is cool because historically, like when you caught a big marlin or a big sailfish or whatever, you would bring it back to the dock, which obviously kills the fish. Not like really great table fare, but it was just like kind of part of it. And now there's been like a big effort to like you catch a big marlin or something like that. You get your pictures boatside. They're really good at doing like estimated weights and measurements and stuff like that so you can still get a replica mount done, which is what I did in Australia. Yeah. my big 650-pound replica mount made. Sure.

But you just put it back out there for somebody else to go catch and enjoy. So I think it's cool. That's an admirable thing to do. Yeah. Like when we did our fishing video and you're catching the big bass, like you can eat bass and people do, but it's not great. So you catch a 10-pound bass, put it back, let somebody else go catch it. Is that hard to do, though?

Just release it back? Not for me. Because you're still living on the high that was catching it in the first place. Yeah, you got pictures and videos and stuff now. And that bad boy was estimated to be over 130 pounds. That's insane. That's a big old boy. I caught a hundred pound amber jack and that took me 45 minutes to real in.

Yeah. Yeah. I think that's what Betsy said last pod. Did she? I think she's like one 30. No comment. No, kind of. Yeah, smart man.

I gotta know more about this music.

What kind of genre music? The music, what I listen, is not matched too much with the music what we play. what we play. Basically, we play the music what people want to hear. It's more like, it's more like electronic music. Yeah, EDM stuff. Yeah, more like people listen on the shows, on big shows, like, and we try to dive in that. It's not easy. Of course, we have, I have already one show in Berlin. I still practice on my skills. I still like, it's good part because basketball make you to play basketball from like 22,000 people. And this is like, there will be like, it'll be maybe less or more, whatever.

Like, I dream to be more. But, you know, like, you can not be every time more and more. And I try to build that career just because I love the music. I always want to, I always have a passion about music and DJ. I feel like before it's much harder because you need to bring your CD, you need to bring your stuff right now. Like you can find everything on the internet. Like download, download for 10 minutes.

You put that, you put in a mixer. And you can make beautiful music and beautiful song. Have you wanted to collab with Shaq on the music side? I want to collab with somebody. I think they'll be fun. Shaq could be fun. Shaq is amazing. He's like a model for everything.

And my parents did great job With my name Let's go keep it I don't change And you said you had a show in Germany Or going to No no it was last summer He was like

I think Rev the Planet They call Rev the Planet Do we have another one lined up? I could but the point when I'm really like, try to get my music ready before the show. I try don't play other songs. I try to play my songs and after it I can add some popular songs. That's basic idea.

I got to go to a show. Yeah, no doubt. Of course. Sounds like a fun, man. Get the people going, man. Bobon, you are beloved by the basketball community, teammates, fans, coaching staff. The Tobias Harris Love was one of my favorites. Yeah, yeah.

They all just had that organic chemistry. Do you have a list of top five favorite teammates that you ever had? It really left an impression on you. Look, full respect to everybody. They have so much, so many teammates. But, you know, of course, you guys want to hear for a couple of them. And I will give you. Like, you know, of course, I have in Dallas here, Luca.

We was like, we was together. Luca Donchich. I have Tobias. Man, Tobias, we change, like, three teams. We was like, do our show together. We're supposed to come out with our cartoon. But, you know, Toby, if you watch that, you stop it. Please wake up and let's go finish that cartoon, which is supposed to get done.

And to throw that to people watch and enjoy, you know. If you would, please. And, okay, I play with Jokic in Megavisura. When we played together, he was that time 18. I was like, I was basically, I was basically that time he just arrived. He was 18. And you can tell, guys, this guy can be good. Like, people feel surprised.

Oh, surprised. Not you. 40 second pick, like he's good. He's great. From that time, he like, show what we can do. Like, he come from one team from one second, second city, the biggest second city in Serbia. He come with like triple double, like almost quarter double when you say four. Yeah.

Like nine blocks, like nine blocks, ten assists, like 50 rebounds, 40 points, something crazy. And people like, oh, he'll be good. he'd be good. Like, he'd be amazing, like, one of the best basketball player ever, play in this world. And I have, I have many of them, of course, how I back, I'll back on Team Duncan, Mountedjobie with Tony Parker. Because, like, because I remember when I was San Antonio and Team Duncan was running with his knee braces. On the court, we do some yo-yo stuff.

Like, yo-yo, it's like conditioning ways. You're running up and down on the beep. And if he run, everybody run. You know, like, you know, the set of mind, like, you watch on a lot. left side, he ran on left side on line. Like, if he can run, basically, you cannot be tired. Like, who you are, too, you can be tired. Like, don't be tired. And Afa, I remember in San Francisco, when I want to work out more, we're supposed to play against Golden State. He stayed with me. He basically, they say, no, no, no, you, basically, the question, they say, I want to stay a little

bit more. They say, no, we leave. Tim Duncan stay with me. And there was, like, there was, everybody living. How he wants to stay, everybody coming back. Everybody comes back. The coaches come with me and stop to work out. Of course, I'm sometimes too much workaholic, but he stay because of me and full respect. I know, and I know Tony Parker talked about that when retire Team Jersey. He talked about that retirement,

about that point on how he continued to work with me even after practice, but they make me even better than who I am. That's really cool. That's really cool. How many things in your home, Bobon, are custom-made due to your height? Not too much.

Really? I give it not too much because this home, it was like basically already like that. You know, like there's not everything built, but in my home in Serbia, it's more stuff custom-made, like sink, like toilet, like bed, like doors. Yeah, doors going through the door. Going to the door is much important. Here is... You're ducking every door.

Duck every door. But it's like ceilings here that people make a little bit taller, like, little bit taller, taller or two, I don't need to duck everything a lot. But imagine, like, I don't know how, two meters, I don't know how many feet is that. But I'm like, I'm in meters, 2,000, 2 meters 22. And when you duck, basically, you need to duck 22 centimeters. The door, it's like always, always. I know, in my mother and dad house, like my back hurt every time.

But, you know, this is, this is it. You can like, yeah, you can just build a house because they get, they get like tall sun. I was like, hey, we didn't, for sure they didn't plan. My dad used too much material. How many times you hit your head on the doorframe? 100 times. I can't even count. I can believe how my head, like, look.

Still attached. And now when I hit, now when I hit... You've already built up a calis there, dude. He's just like... No, now I can, oh, don't worry. Yeah. No worry. Maybe that's going to make you a good stunt man one day.

Oh. I mean, some would say he already is. Yeah, but I'm just saying, I mean, it's from the door. in the United States. No, no, no, no. I get there. The door. How you said, the plane, the car, the everything, you know?

Yeah, that's, uh, so your bed in, your bed in Dallas? It's, is it just a standard bed? Just under bed without, without board. And so you just, like, your feet just hang off? Yeah, because I'm used to. You travel, you travel a lot. Oh. And you, in hotel, they don't have the beds for you.

Basically, like, that's, if you sleep, you will sleep in that bed or you will not sleep at all. That's a point. And I sleep diagono. You're making me want to go to, chiropractor. Yeah, no kid. Your body adjust. You walk like me.

People say, yeah, you hurt. So like, so like, dude, everything is different. Showerheads are too short? Showerhead is too short. You got to bend in the shower. That's incredible. Yes, but some of them is not. You don't wash your hair because of it, do? You just kind of like, whatever.

You see that? Now it's really, go on, go outside, make your hair how I want to look. Oh, man, that's. I'm sure there's benefits. to be in tall, though, too. Yeah, the benefits, but the worst thing, because I like the cars, and every time, every time when I see,

every time when I see the car, it was like, man, I like that car, that's car so good. Good price, good, this, good engine. Oh, I see, I see there. Basically, the legs is like here. The steering wheel is like here. The roof is like there.

And I was like, oh, are you, and it's a fun part when it sells, man. Oh, it looks good. Yeah, I feel like a little bit not comfortable, but you can drive, yes. He was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like, if you can drive like that. I feel like he can have a crash,

I would die immediately, like, not even. So what kind of car are you driving? I have an Audi R6 and G-Vagon. So what's the smallest car you've ever driven? The smallest car I ever driven, it's my first car, they call Fiat Stilo. You drove a Fiat? Basically the smaller one, like they call the Coup,

Fiat Stilo, it's like, it's Coup, it's Coupe version, The door is longer, but behind me nobody. If you, like, laid down on the ground, aren't you tall, aren't you longer than a Fiat? That's incredible. Oh, that's my favorite car. Wow. It looks good, huh?

Yeah, it does. It does. It's just hard to picture you in it. Yeah, true. Basically, not allowed to say, but I put, like, we was like five teammates, like, five teammates and two was in the trunk. We was driving, we were driving to the restaurant. It's like a small ride from here to the...

You put, you and four teammates in that. car? Yeah, because like one is laid down and two was in the trunk. That's those levels of commitment that I've never seen before. No, basically we didn't close the trunk. They was like, basically hanging the legs out. I guess that would be the Texas equivalent of like getting in the back of a pickup. Yeah, for sure. That's crazy.

That's really funny. Whoa. But it's nice car. I miss that car by the, that's my smallest car I own it. Man, that's funny. I imagine like getting an Uber. Everything got to be in XL. I'm sure going to like Ross, a thrift store. Yes, what size shoe were you?

A 20. 20. Bobi, just to put it in reference, can you put your foot up here, just go a little side by side? Okay. If you can. Whoa. Look at that.

Why didn't you tell you making it earlier? You make me look like I wear a size four, but in fact, this is 10 and a half or? That's insane. That's not no 10 and a half, brother. That is... I feel like Lincoln or Iris, man. That's incredible.

What you need is more sleep, more food. vegetables, man. I was like a, yeah, a broccoli dish and a nap away from being six foot. But I'm still hoping on the growth spurt. Can we see Sparky and Bobon standing next to each other? Sure. Of course. Sure.

Ooh, I like how to move to make. Yeah. Watch your head, dude. You know, just kidding. I don't know why. There's all the way. Yeah, Sparks. You can defend that, brother.

You got that. Boxing match. That would be good. Yeah, like, what? Yeah, that'd be so good. I think I got longer reach than you. Maybe not. That's insane.

That's insane. Well, you had the luxury of playing for San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston as part of your career, all three Texas teams. So you're basically an honorary Texan. And I play for Austin, too. Austin as well. When I was in San Antonio, I have a couple games played for Chile. Every city. Every city.

If they come out with the basketball team in El Paso, you're going to have to go ahead and play for them as well. But with that said, you're an honorary Texan, and if you're down, you're down to do a little Texas test? Just check on your Texas knowledge. Yeah, let's do it. State flower. Texas State flour. Familiar? Rose?

I don't know. There's a blue bonnet. Blue bonnet. I've never seen it. Yeah, that's what you think you take the picture, you know, like the portrait laying down in the field of blue bonnets. We'll get you a picture. Okay, please. Can you show him a blue bonnet on the screen?

Can I hear a place to see it? Bluebonnet. Not to be confused with Bluebell, the official ice cream in Texas. Oh, now you tell me. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, Blue Bonnet. That's the state flowers. See, the field, the field of blue bonnets.

There you go. That's all right. Flowers are tough. Let's go to the saying. The stars at night are big and bright. What comes after that? The stars at night are big and bright. Let's go, clap.

Great. We were looking for it. Deep in the heart. Heart of Texas. But let's go clap and read this. You might be on this. That needs to be your first single right there. What type of boots do you wear to a wedding?

Cowboy boots. Yeah. I'll give you that one. Ostrich boots. But I feel like that's a... Calibbo boots. Let's just go cowboy boots. Yeah.

Right to answer. That a boy. There you go. What is a calachi? It's cake. But it's like not a real cake, but it's cake like colachi. And because, look, collachi in Serbia, we say for a cake. Just know.

That's why I say. But Kolachi, it's bread. But Texas bread would only make it Texas. Very close. Like a pig in a blanket would be another word for it. Like you put the sausage in the bread. In the croissant, wrapped around the sausage. Waco, Texas, have some of the best ones.

Right. We'll give it to you. I eat it. I eat it. All right, Bobi. I've got a whiteboard here. As a fellow Texan, I need you to draw the state of Texas to the best of your We'll see what comes out here.

I don't know what you're doing right now, but... Huh? Okay? Hold it up. How close were we? There's some sharp angles in that. Let's compare. Let's pull up a Texas pick.

Wow. Boom. Wait. It's got like three pan handles. I know. Look, if your county was like this. Yeah, there you go. Hey, Texas is a tough one.

Can you draw Serbia? Oh, it's so easy. Let's try it. Okay. I wouldn't even know where to begin on Saturday. I would just draw Oklahoma and hope it's close. He's very meticulous on this one. Yeah.

This is the Kosovo. I mean, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. That is actually really good. And where were you from on the map? On the right side. You see, where is the blue? Here, wait, this side.

Okay. Here. Cool. We need to have Kosovo there, too. This area, basically, on the right side. That's pretty good. I'll give you Serbia. I'm not going to give you Texas.

That's pretty good. Yeah, Texas, we've got to work on. Two less panhandles and you've been really close. You ever go to something more? Yeah, I'm enjoying this. You had to frequent the Alamo in your time in San Antonio. Did you ever go to the Alamo? Alamo, I've been to Texas.

The Alamo Dome is so good. This is Antonio. So the Alamo Dome is where they play, the Spurs play, or they used to play, right? Yes. But the Alamo is actually... State federal Texas? Close. But Big Texan didn't fight at the Alamo.

I'll be there. He's an honorary text in my book. Most definitely. And he survived a couple of Texas summers. And that alone makes you an honorary. Before we let you go, I've got to ask you, it has been a joy to watch as a basketball fan, not as a Maverick fan.

The growth of Wimbunyama. Victor is taking his game to the next level. How large is the ceiling for that young man? He's like so... He's so good. I watched first game against Dallas Mavericks. I was like, wow, what he do? Like, I was like, this is crazy, you know?

Like, I was like, I remember when I met him first time. I was in a loading dock in Houston. They had a practice. I went to the locker room to pick up something, and I go next to him to talk with him. Like we talk about because I play there, they already have basically similar stuff. And back then, and I was like watching him.

And that time on the paper, I was taller. But, you know, like, watching him how he walked next to me and how he talked, how he'd be heavier. Like, I was like, okay, like, he's taller there for sure. But never mind how tall he is. It doesn't matter. I think how he plays, it's really like, it's really like amazing.

You know, like watching like that type of guy. I'm so big fan, big fan of the tall guy right now because back of the day it was like, oh, no more tall guy, no tall guy, don't play basketball. Like what is supposed to do? Like, we're supposed to watch how somebody play basketball? Because, you know, now they try, now they try to back like tall a guy

in league, but they're supposed to be, because they're supposed to be a long time ago. They try everybody shot the trees. Other day, I watched a game. Like, nobody can make a tree. I was like, oh, we lost a game. Never mind. Let's go clap. We need to shake it off.

We go other side. If you want to win every game, you need to have everything. You need to have shooting trees under the basket and everything. And I like, I like right now, San Antonio, how they play. Because, of course, because of Wembe. And Wemby, like, killing. Like, when I say killing, like, he plays so good. He plays so good.

He plays so good. They need like five people to like trap him. Other people can play. I don't know how they're going to do. But good luck with that. Yeah, he's an absolute side. Well, thank you, Bobby. Thank you very much.

Hoping for the best for you, man. An NBA team needs to give you a call and fallback option. You can always be employed here at Dude Perfect. I appreciate. Thank you very much for having me here. I have so prizes time. I'm sorry because I talk a little bit too much. That's why I feel comfortable with you guys.

And good luck with everything. Thank you. Thank you. Marianovic, everybody. Thank you. That was awesome. All right. Well, if you're watching the pod, you might be like, what is happening?

I decided to bring Cody on and make him dress up as Harry Potter because he hates it so much. This is what he looks like? No, well, I mean, that's how Professor Snape looks. Yeah. A professor. That's insane. Take that. Just the professor label.

Attached your name. You'll take that. If you're listening to it, well, nothing's really going to be different. We're just dressed up like wizards. I feel very wizardly like right now. Like actual wizards. Cody looks like a choir boy, but... Dude.

Yeah, you're kind of giving off church choir vibes. I'm a Star Wars guy. Yeah. I don't want anything to do with this. I know. That's why we put you in this segment because we're forcing you to be a Harry Potter fan because you never would, you never would do this if we didn't sit you down and force you to do it. The fact that it's even a debate is crazy.

I'm with you, dude. You can go. You're a Star Wars guy? Well, I haven't seen either. I haven't seen either. He's just a sports guy. But for those that do like Harry Potter and then those that love Star Wars, I just don't even understand the debate.

A Gothic, emo wizard school. Oh, I thought you were going Star Wars when you said Gothic there. Verses the galaxy and lightsabers and the force and starships. It shouldn't even be close. I got to say, Cody's son is in the room right now and just looking at his dad like, are You serious. Sorry, buddy. He's serious, dad.

Yeah, he wants out. Yeah, he wants out. I grew up in an HP household myself. Did you? Yeah, my sisters were big fans. In fact, my sister Julie gave me, um, is it the salt. Book, it's the best,

Swat. Is that the first one? Salt of Swat. It's something like that. So, it's salt in the pot. Is that? That's the sandlot, brother. I don't know.

That's Weber's nickname. You're right. What is the first one called? Sorcer Stone. Thank you. She gifted that to me, the book. Did you read it? I'm not a big British literature guy.

Never. Never even open the page. Wouldn't it technically be Brit lit? Harry Britlet? Definitely, bro. I've never read a page. So, readers are leaders, though. Don't follow.

We are Harry Pottering it right now. Do I look the part? Do I look like I belong? Well, this is what I dressed up for Halloween. So I was like, might as well rock it the next week. Hey, I'll say this much. It's better to be a fake wizard than a Washington wizard. They're horrible.

They beat the Mabs, though, so I shouldn't say anything. Yeah, I was going to say, dude. They are horrible. But hey. So what will be doing, Gary? Is this like an audiobook? You're going to read sold this a lot to us or what? Yeah.

Great question, Sparks. The listeners, the viewers are probably wondering, what are we doing? Well, we got a little quiz. We got a voicemail that gave us an idea. Fired up. Hey, my name is Dusty. I'm calling from Johnson City, Tennessee with my wife, Go, Valls. Since it is Harry Potter season,

and my question would be, which house is each D perfect member in? Just curious this year, I'll take. Love the podcast. Y'all keep shining Jesus and being awesome. Thanks, you else. Well, Dusty, I appreciate the voice. When I heard this, I was like, which house are we in?

I kind of know mine, but I will retake the quiz to see if I can get sorted into the proper house again. I was a hufflepuff if anyone was wondering. I would take a four-bedroom, big game room. Yeah, it's not that kind of house. Or kind of by the ocean. When I heard this, I was like, should we put Cody in this block just to see what house he is?

Because he's such a Star Wars fan and make him find out. The quiz is going to break. Maybe this is what gets you into the Harry Potter universe. Dude, I saw the first three movies. So, also you have seen him though. I watched him like six years ago.

Hey, Hey, you want to read Harry Potter? No. He said, no. He's shaking his head, absolutely not. Yeah,

get me out of here, dude. Austin, do you want to go watch Star Wars? Oh, you know what? He's not feeling it. I think it was the Tennessee fan. He's not a ball guy.

I like the Tennessee question. Mm-hmm. I think we just get right to it. We have it on the screen. It's a quiz on sorting what house you're in And there's four of them Slither in Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and the mighty

Gryffindor That's Harry Potter, Harry Potter wasn't Gryffindor Waffle House I've done some damage there I already told you there's four Waffle House ain't one of them A mansion with game roommate One of them either It's Hufflepuff which you're kind of like

Your trustee Yeah give me a scouting report of each house Well Griffin Doors is where Harry Potter is Everyone in their mom wants to be a Gryffindor. Yeah, Tyler always says he's that. Yeah, Tyler wants to be a Gryffindor. Well, here's the deal. You know, Gryffindor, they like to break the rules and do things that people maybe, you know.

That example. Oh, that's an example. Five star that goes to Georgia. Slytherin. Slytherin is where the mighty Voldemort. The wizard. Kind of got a dark side to him, a little edgy. There's a jones.

You think that's going to be Slig. Hufflepuff is like, is like your trustworthy, true. Um, you know. Is that where the redhead? Was that the redhead kid? No, all the things, the only Hufflepuffs in the movie were Cedric Diggery and, uh, you remind me of Cedric. I'm a huffuff guy.

Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone else in the movie is mostly Slytherin or Gryffindor. Got it. What was the fourth house? Ravenclaw. I'm with him.

Waffle house. Yeah. You think you're going to, you think you'd be a Waffle house guy. Yeah. Give me scrambled, scrambled eggs, bacon and a big old stack of waffies. Well, look, here's the deal. It doesn't matter what you think. The sorting hat put you in the house that it thinks it...

Oh, the hat decides for you. The hat decides. Do you think he could see my results and be like, yeah, Star Wars guy? That would be so sick. I don't even get housed. Like, dude, you're not welcome in one of these houses because you're not loyal to any of them. I'm Harry Potter homeless. No, I think the algorithm is meant to just do for.

Jared, you're going to lead this sucker off? Yes, sir. We'll start with Sparky and go left to right. So Sparky, Moon or Stars? Talk to me. moon or stars, just vague? Yeah, vague. Are you a moon guy? You're your stars guy? I do like the Dallas stars, but

stars, plural. There's more stars out there than there are moons. How do you know? Because I took astrology, my freshman year of college, I know things. Give me the moon. Give me the moon. Love it. Locking in moon. There's a lot of stars out there, man. Question for Cody, dawn or dusk? Ooh. What's the difference? That's up to your interpretation. Well, dawn and dusk aren't in...

Is dawn early morning dusk early evening? Correct. Don is early morning. You need more than you... This is an easy answer. Yeah, I'm going... I'm done all day. Okay. Locking in dawn. And off to the Purple Hoser, Moon or Stars?

Dallas. I am also wrapping the Dallas Stars. Give me stars. Okay. Stars locking it in. Back to Sparky. Question for you. You enter an enchanted garden. What would you be most curious to examine

first. The fat red toad stools that appear to be talking to each other, the bubbling pool in the depths of which something luminous is swirling, the silver-leafed tree bearing golden apples, or the statue of an old wizard with a strangely twinkling eye. I think I'm out of time. Nope, you're not. You're out of time. Hey, if I'm going through this, you are too, Cody. This is like the cafeteria and there's the kids playing magic cards. I didn't really know their names and it was always friendly with them. But that ain't me. I thought you were going to be part of that table. I'm headed off-campus lunch with my buddies from the football team. Well, today you're magic carding it.

Okay. Go back to Jared. One caught my ear. The bubbling pool in the depths which something luminous is swirling. That just sounds fun. You are going to be a Ravenclaw if I've ever seen. Locking it in. All right.

On to Cody. Which of the following would you most hate people to call you? Ignorant, selfish, ordinary, or cowardly? All those, he's always been called. I would say ordinary. Okay Hates to be ordinary Yeah

I'm gonna be different Oh that's part of my Schick That is All right Go one more I'm this one The silver leaf tree

I'm an apple guy Give me apples all day. Locked in. Sparky, which of the following would you find most difficult to deal with? He's not a loneliness guy. Loneliness, boredom, hunger, being ignored or cold? I am. Anything sub 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

I go into a little ball of frustration. Cold. Most definitely. Yeah. Born in the South. Don't overthink it. All right. Cody, which nightmare would frighten you most?

This podcast is in number one by far. My skin is crawling. See, I'm enjoying it. I brought my son to work one day in the last three years and it's Harry Potter Day. And he ain't ever coming back, brother. Dude, he thinks his dad's a weirdo. Yeah, he won't even look at you.

All right, which nightmare? Standing on top of something very high and realizing suddenly that there are no hand or footholds nor any barrier to stop you from falling. Being forced to speak in such a silly voice that hardly anyone can understand you and everyone laughs at you. Waking up to find that neither your friends nor your family have any idea who you are. An eye at the keyhole of the dark, windowless room in which you are locked.

The first one, because that's the only one I listened to. I zoned out. Okay. I love it. I love it standing on top of something very high. Yeah. Okay, going with heights. Yeah, you're scared. Fear heights. All right. Garrett, a muggle can't, do you know what a muggle is? I sure don't. It's a non-wizard. That's you. You're a muggle. I'm teckle. You're a muggle right now. You can't, I'm not accepting of that term. A muggle? I think you'd lean in. into it. A muggle confronts you and says that they are sure you are a witch or a wizard. Do you ask what makes them think so? Tell them that you are worried about their mental health and offer to call them a doctor. Agree and ask whether they'd like a free sample of a jinx or agree and walk away,

leaving them to wonder whether you are bluffing. I think the second one. Okay. Call a mental. Why do we don't have Ty here today? Well, we already know Ty's house. Got it. He's a griffindore guy. You said it yourself. Can you like transfer portal out of houses? I don't, you know, Say I land on Sliverin and my life to hit the portal? Yeah, without a year of... You go Griffey? Yeah, sure. I want to see the too deep for each lineup.

That's how I select. Keep it going. Keep it going. You and two friends need to cross a bridge guarded by a river troll who insists on fighting one of you before he will let all of you pass. Do you volunteer to fight? Do you attempt to confuse the troll

into letting all three of you pass without fighting? Do you suggest that all three of you should fight without telling the troll? And do you suggest drawing lots to decide which of you will fight? The river troll that is? Let's fight the river troll. Who was this too?

Me? Yeah, let's see you, Sparky. Go back one more. Look, he's deep in this, dude. I'm trying, I'm trying to get into it. Slowly getting this guy. I ain't budging, dude. That's me right there.

I attempt to confuse the troll. I mislead them, and then we sneak by them. Fake jab step left. It's a pump. Looks like your night is booked up, dude. You're going to be. It's playing action on first down. This is a wild.

I'll give the troll little play action on first down. Hit him over the top with a fade route. Cody, which of the following do you find most difficult to deal with? All of this. Loneliness. Bortem. Hunger. Being ignored.

Cold. The option I wanted on there is not there. Let's go with... Keep going left. Not hunger. You love food. Bortem. Yeah, you don't do with boredom.

I don't do well with boredom. Okay. Makes sense. Big hobby guy. Sparky. Yes. What are you most looking forward to learning at Hogwarts? All about magical creatures?

flying on a broomstick, transfiguration, every area of magic I can. Brimstick, man. I've wanted to fly since I was a little kid. That's your route is... Let's go. Sparks? Yeah, man. All right. Cody. Talk to me.

Cody, what are you most looking forward to learning at Hogwarts? Same question. Oh, man. He's just trying to get his degree. Every area of magic I can. Yeah, every area of magic I can. I mean, he's so inundated with Star Wars. He needs...

Yeah. He needs classwork. That's like general studies as your major, though. It's fine, though. It makes it easy. Back to Sparty. Marky, what animal you're bringing with you to Hogwarts? Oh.

Cats, toads, or owls? Those are my only three options? Okay. Never been a cat guy allergic as well, so that wouldn't do well. A toad? You're a toad guy? Yeah, I think I'm bringing a toad, man. Yeah, that's good.

Nice. Mm-hmm. All right. Sheesh. You're like the kid with a big toad. I'm putting the warts in Hogwarts. You're Neville-Longbottom, man. That's good.

Give me snowy owl. Garrett's picking the snowy owl. Yeah, beautiful-looking creature. Got it. Those look cool. Cody, same question to you. I feel like the easy answer would be Al, but I want to be different. Let's go cat.

Hairless. Sick. Periless cat. Garrett, back to you. Which of the following do you find most difficult to deal with? Loneliness. Got it. You don't want to be lonely.

No. Back to Sparky. We've got different toads to look at. Harlequin Toad, Dragon Toad, Natterjack Toad, common toad, three-toad, tree toad. Nat Jack. I'm going to lock it in. Good name.

It looks the part too. Golly. Almost athletes. You are there, dude. We're leaning in on the almost. Well, this is. And we're not leaning into it.

Siamese. Siamese. A tabby. We're black. Good white cat. Never seen a white cat. Yeah. You never seen a white cat?

Albino cat. Yeah, right. All right. Garrett, which would you rather? Not a mere people. Centaurus, no. All these words mean something to him. That's crazy.

Vampires. This is like me going through major basketball. Like windthro up pretty good backcourt. I'm going to go go goblins. It's always intrigued me how they operate the money at Hogwarts. Okay. I'm the finance guy. You are your goblin too.

Oh yeah, there's money involved. Goblins control it. Sparky, how would you like to be known in history? As Sparky the great, Sparky the wise, Sparky the bold, Sparky the good. Sparky the good. Yeah. You're a good guy. Let's go, you Ravenclaw.

Oh, that's so good. All right. With his little toad. Cody, four goblets are placed before you. Which would you choose to drink? Oh. The smooth, thick, rich, purple drink that gives off a delicious smell of chocolate and plums. The mysterious black liquid that gleams the ink and gives off fumes that make you see strange visions.

The foaming, frothing silvery liquid that sparkles as though containing ground diamonds. Okay. Or the golden liquid so bright that it hurts the eye and which makes sunspots dance all. around the room? I would probably pass on all four and just ask for still water. But if I had to choose, the white thing looked pretty, pretty tasty. The diamonds, wow. Yeah. The foaming, frothing silver liquid. If there's like a diamond at the bottom, I'd give it to my wife. Okay. It's beautiful. Locking it in. Look at me. All right. Garrett, how would you like to be known to history? Oh, Garrett the Great. Just rhymes. She's great. She's great. Good word play. Okay. Left or

right for Sparky. Man, this decides your house right now. This is credible. I think we're down to it. Such easy. Heads or tails. Left or right. Traditionally, I like left twix better, but that's just twix.

Traditionally right guy. I'm going to go right. Lock it right. Cody. Heads or tails? Oh, wow. Tails never fails. It doesn't, man.

Aggies are on an absolute hot streak winning the coin flip at the beginning of games. Yeah. Hot streak. Haven't paid attention. Garrett, my left guy, left-footed. Give me left. Garrett is. All right.

So, Sparky, what did you think, what house did you think you were going to be? On my family vacation in Broken Bow, I was a Huffel Puff. How? What do you mean? Did I just got you stayed at the Harry Potter Broken Bow house. Yeah, my sister's made fun of me

because I didn't know what was going on. This is my H-puff scarf I got right here. Oh, you're in this. I was a Huffel Puff once upon a time, but that was a while back. All right. Well, let's see if you joined the team. You are, dude. I think that's a big deal.

I'm getting my degree there. I'm staying all four. If tie lights it, that means it's the best. Hufflepaw. Well, he's a griff door, right? Let's see, go down. So what does I say that? Badger.

Colors are yellow and black like the Steelers. Black and yellow. I like that. Ghost is the fat friar, yeah. This actually fits me. So this is like seat of the pants, happy go lucky kind of guy.

Yeah. The H-puffs. Yeah, it's me, man. I'm in. I'm an HP fan boy. All right, yeah, let's go ahead and see if I'm a Hufflepuff again. I've already taken this. Let's see if I flip-flop.

Welcome to the squad. We're building the power team. I am staying true to myself. I was a Hufflepuff 10 years ago. I'm a Hufflepuff today. I can't wait to see you get putting Ravenclaw. I don't want you in my house. I don't know what that means, but I do think if this thing is accurate, it will put me in.

Slythering. As a Skywalker. Slythering. All right, let's see it. This feels Ravenclaw. Ravenglaw. Yeah, because you like Baltimore. You do like Baltimore?

You do like Baltimore. And Ravenclaws are the least liked out of the Harry Potter houses. So maybe this is all I needed to jump into Harry Potter. What if I fall in love? And now I wear this every day. Dude, when you read Harry Potter your kids, which it will happen. It's coming. It's the next phase of life for me.

You're going to hear about Ravenclaw your way. Dude, you know, I took a quiz one day. So you're welcome. There's a reason millions and millions of people love it. So I'm not going to hide behind the fact that I realize it could get me late in life. But as of right now, not a Harry Potter fan. Could be in the future. Go out to Universal.

and go get you a butter beer and enjoy it. Just cream soda. Here's where I am, Codes. And I think we're in the same position. Is same with Marvel. I feel like I'm too far gone. J.K. wrote the book so long ago.

And I just kept putting it off, putting it off. Well, let me tell you, this is a non-spawn here. This is non-spawn, but you are in a perfect time because I think end of 26, new series, Harry Potter. They're going to walk through the books in detail. on HBO. You're welcome. Whoa. Whoa. This is your time. Right in the middle of a Ravenclaw talk. Uh, all sparks. You know what that means? Yeah, it's our two minute warning.

It's our two minute warning. You got anything to ran about, dude? Yeah, I do. Yeah, I do. All right, let's do it. Let's hear this. Got a lot of buzz. Both good and bad. More pros than cons when it came to my Christmas take. Tapping the brakes until. I love that. Thank you, dude. I had to speak out of all the men out there who were scared to say, I caught a couple strays. Dude, even from my own house. not Hufflepuff, but the actual house you got it. I was like, because my sisters and bombs.

Wait, who do you live with? Nobody, but they are very, they felt like it was a personal attack for me because they like to get it going in July. Day after Thanksgiving, full send. If you're pre- Thanksgiving, you're crazy. Thank you. Or you're cheap and you want to get a Christmas lights up

for half the price. For all the men in the house that are scared to say it to their sick meeting and others. I was willing to say it. I was willing to say it. And I'm going to say something that's going to ruffle some feathers this week too. Okay, go forward.

Oh, 34 years I've lived in the great state of Texas, and I love it. The Lone Star State, we're a prideful bunch. You know that. Our doors have been open here recently the last couple of years. There's been in flux of move-ins to the state of Texas, which open arms. Yeah, come on. But you've got to abide by our rules. And one of those being, I've been on the road here lately, quit driving in the left-hand lane if you're not passing somebody.

Got it. I'm sick of it. Every time you roll up, it's like a Utah plate, a Cali plate. Again, welcome. But you've got to abide by our rules. And that means if you want to go five over, by all means, slide on over to that right lane and let the Joneses of the worlds

and his cybers boom, vroom on by. Well, I couldn't agree more. It's been irritating me, man. It happened to me twice yesterday. It just like, but they're going, I think, here's my hot take. I think you should get a ticket if you go five under the speed limit.

You know, if you go 500 speed limit, you should also get a speed limit. Statistically more dangerous to drive below the speed limit than above. Especially on the tollway. But yeah, if you come to Dallas, Texas, You better put your racing racing tails on.

Thank you, man. You were scared me at the beginning. Yeah, you were, I didn't know where this is going. No, no, no, no, no, no. And I'm all for the move in, the transplants to Texas. But with that being said, you got to buy by our rules. And one of those rules is scooch on over. Left lanes for passing.

It could be for its grandma's direction. Well, Sparks, I mean, well said. Why don't you hit him with the show closed, dude? Looks like our time is up.
