Chris is in sub-Saharan Africa doing charity work and climbing mountains. So today we have a special replacement pod with the Butter King, Dr. Fax, Cowboy Reed, and the gang.
Starting point is 00:02:42 That's right. Oh, having a nice little time in Studio J. I feel like Jamal from the replacements, who was played by Phazon Love. in that movie. That's a good player comp for you, Fax. Yeah, like, I don't know if you were on or you were listening to any of the episodes, but back in college, the message boards, when they used to do the lookalikes, I used to get Faison Love, like probably every other week in college for,
Starting point is 00:03:12 for comps when I had no hair. That's how you. That's a pretty good one. And honestly, that scene where he shoots up, um, shoots up the car is one of my favorite, like, comedic scenes of all time. Oh, I'm a son of a bitch. Son of a bitch. I'm a son of a bitch.
Starting point is 00:03:26 You're going to pay for it. No, I'm not. That's great. Yeah. So you guys bring up replacements. It's not a full replacement show, but Chris is out of town and we're taking over Studio J having a good little time.
Starting point is 00:03:39 And so we're going to do Nate's Yellow. You're. And it is to Gate City, Virginia. Shout out to Matt McClung. Mac McClung, yep. He is what I found out. from a very, very, very, very small town. I did some research, and I don't know if census just hasn't been back there since 2010,
Starting point is 00:04:04 but the stats on where he's from is from 2010. And there was a population of 2034 people. That's right. Where the dunk contest, the current dunk contest winner is from. That's right. So from Gate City, Virginia, he won the 2023 dunk contest. Yeah, all-star dunk contest. He's played in the league, I think, a little bit.
Starting point is 00:04:28 The Lakers. Four games. Four games. Yeah, yeah. Before the dunk contest, he got picked up, like, by the Sixers. Yeah, but not everybody around here loves him because he committed to Georgetown out of high school rather than UVA. Yeah, and then finish his career at Texas Tech. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Could you imagine someone electric like that if they came to UVA? I couldn't even picture it. Yeah. To be honest. He has some bounce. You saw clips of him going around on Twitter. of him just like jumping out of the gym in some pickup games yeah the best the best thing about him winning is now like seeing his high school um mixed tapes and highlight tapes resurfaced and now you see
Starting point is 00:05:08 kind of like the people who train him or have workout videos with him you see those start surfacing and you really see like wow this kid has a lot of leg strength and he has he's very very bouncy we might have uh so the because of that basketball basketball, you know, take, we might have some, we might have your basketball highlight tape resurfacing. We'll get into that in a little bit. But, Bo, you might have a layup line for us? I got a layup line, baby. Chris is away.
Starting point is 00:05:40 I think you said last week, when the cat's away, the mice will play. Anything goes to the layup line. I got a jaunty tune. It's called Moncharie by Sophie Tucker. I think you guys are going to like it. Uh, Sophie Tucker, have you been listening to her for a while? Uh, on and off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Yeah. But. And does she have any other good tunes? Honestly, I need to do some more research on that one, Cowboy. Sophie, so S-O-F-I, T-U-K-K-E-R. Mm-hmm. And it's, uh, how do you put, how do you spell Monashiree? M-O-N-E-R-I. You know what it means in French?
Starting point is 00:06:29 I do not. My dear. I love my beer. Mon cherie. My darling. Nice. Oh, sounds like a nice Riz line. The song is in French as well.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Trying to get cultured on the pod, you know? Yeah. Thanks for elevating us, but we appreciate that. So that's a good. Better King does what he can. That'll be added to the lampline playlist. But back to basketball, we were talking about your high school mixtape. You had a, facts, you had a little basketball interaction this weekend.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Yeah. So I participated in a low. They had a fundraiser slash charity game. Unfortunately, a young gentleman from this area passed away recently. So they did a charity basketball game to raise money for the funeral and for the family. All the costs went to them. But it was a bunch of local guys. Local celebrities, right?
Starting point is 00:07:24 Yeah, it was local celebrities versus kind of like the local, like the local. so like it was a bunch of people from the community and um i i got picked to be on a team and to my surprise the team i ended up playing on um i was i guess good enough to start and i thought i played pretty well stats what were your stats so my stats were i had 11 points and 12 rebounds um i had a few steals double double um i'm not going to lie my knee is still stiff, my left knee that I got, I had surgery on, is still stiff. It was a very physical game and I was very, very, very winded. But I was very pleased with my performance, mainly because my girlfriend has, me and my girlfriend
Starting point is 00:08:22 have a little age gap and she has not seen me do anything athletic, and competitive, like in a competitive sense, um, ever. So her being there kind of like put a little more flame under the fire, like knowing that, hey, I have to, if I don't play well, like right now, the only like athletic memories or anything like that my girl has of me are basically now, like just like old war stories like and showing old video clips of, of me in the league and things like that.
Starting point is 00:08:57 but to go out there and be able to perform, not get hurt, have a good time. My team did lose, which was unfortunate, but at the end of the day, it was all for a good cause. And it was a pretty good turnout. And I'm pleased with the videos that are circulating now from the game. And I got some highlights in there. So now I kind of have some proof that it's not just. Yeah, exactly. It's not just me.
Starting point is 00:09:24 It's going to mix tape, Dr. Fax. It's not just me talking trash. that I can play a little bit of basketball, so it felt good. I'll say from the video we saw it wasn't just spot-up threes. They were, you collected them. There were a couple off the dribble, you know, you off balance. You were leaning a couple ways. And I got one with a hand in the face, too.
Starting point is 00:09:41 I felt good. Yeah. I felt good. Honestly, a couple with a hand in the face. Yeah. And good passes, too. It seemed like a good, good atmosphere. No, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:50 It was definitely a fun time, and it is definitely giving me a little itch. We talked about it, like, in the house, but there's a lot. the local summer league that maybe, maybe leaning towards wanting to participate or be involved some type of way now that got a little itch and playing against like most of the guys that are involved with that league during this game. It seems like something that it would probably be enjoyable. And at the end of the day, I think my only thing I'm scared of is just playing outside on concrete. Well, and we might have a ringer for our team now. You might be the ringer Bring everybody in.
Starting point is 00:10:25 I don't remember the last time I played basketball. I don't know if Kingston, it's been a while for you. But what are you talking about, Reed? We played 2V2 with Macon and Scott the other day. Basketball. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In office? Yeah, in office mini hoop basketball.
Starting point is 00:10:39 How are you on that? Well, no, I'm terrible at all. Yeah, I'm terrible at all. Really physical. Yeah, it's. You seem, you seem like a defensive fouler guy. You seem like a guy that's going to take all five fouls. And are you going to die for a lot?
Starting point is 00:10:54 ball? I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not in here. There's too many sharp corners. Yeah, but I think in the game, I think you would be the guy that's on the ground, diving for the ball. Energy, hustle. Has Bo? Bo, have you ever played basketball? Oh, my God. Let me tell you guys about the last time I played basketball. I remember
Starting point is 00:11:10 it vividly. So this is also, it's like you fax. This was a celebrity basketball tournament per game, actually, when I was in Philly. And it was kind of a, like, I didn't, I kind of underestimate how big of a deal it was. It was, there's a packed house at Delaware University. It was kind of the dead season, the dead point, the off season in Philly.
Starting point is 00:11:27 It was probably 2015. There was no guys around. And so it was me, Vinnie Curry, and my buddy, Will Murphy, who was a practice squad wide receiver in Philadelphia at the time. And I think it was like our, you know, like our media guy or something, like set it up. Like we were getting paid to do this. It was like a thousand bucks. So I'm like, hell yeah, I'm doing this. You know, I'm on my first deal.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Thousand bucks playing this basketball game. Bro, I grew up in Minnesota, okay, playing hockey. I've never fucking played basketball. I played like rec league basketball with my boys. Didn't agree to do this thing. Like we had these sick jerseys made. Like that's pretty much half the reason I did it. It had this 94 Eagles, like black jersey.
Starting point is 00:12:05 It looks sick. Like I borrowed some shoes from my buddy Connor borrowing. Didn't like it was the most embarrassing and pathetic athletic performance of my life, dude. We went out the night before like hard randomly. Woke up like, dude, we have to go to this basketball thing. Totally like we totally forgot about it. So one of our friends, Mel, picked up me and Will Murphy. We were just reeking of whiskey, drove like an hour down to Delaware, stopped a Taco Bell along the way, just chugging Gator lights, like trying to get our mind right, talking each other up.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Like, dude, this is going to go great. Like, we'll be fine. Like, there's just like normal people, man. Like, we're like professional athletes. Like, we're football players. We'll be great. Strapped on the shoes, dude. Did not score a single point.
Starting point is 00:12:46 It was out there sweating profusely the entire time. No, no, no, no, no. How many shots did you take? How many shots did you take? Like four or five. I airballed the first shot. Our friend Mel was sitting up in the stands and she overheard people talking like, these guys play for the Eagles.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Like it was so, so bad. We drove out of that bitch in complete silence on the way back. And the media guy like texted us like, heard it went really good today. Like great job. We were like, yeah, yeah, yeah. It totally was really good. Like when do we get that paycheck? It was absolutely horrible.
Starting point is 00:13:19 It was so bad that every year on the anniversary, Murph, he'll text me a picture. of us just like hands we're like gas like hands our hips so sweaty and just like hey this is an anniversary man let's never be like this again that's that's the kind of thing where i feel like the performance you gave you have to get the check before you leave the building it was so bad it made me really question like everything about myself so i haven't played basketball since we all know that i'm a pickleball guy now you know chris doesn't let me talk about in the podcast but he's fucking gone so we can talk about as much pickle yeah i switch you a I sent you a video and I kind of feel like the video of that female I sent you playing pickleball.
Starting point is 00:14:01 I feel like the contenders here was going against is probably what like you and your partner look like. You guys are probably like out there looking real cocky. And I feel like you should, I feel like we should try to spam her. So like we could set up a match. Yo, she's really good. She's actually like really athletic too. Like you go on her Instagram page like she's doing all sorts of different sports. It's the best thing about that.
Starting point is 00:14:23 So she's better than you in pickleball. Come on now. Like, I would dot her. Do you body shots only? Think so? Hey, there's only one way to find out, facts. She was putting some spin on those serves, man. Can you, so spin, do you and Ryan Gryffin and the fellas, you guys put spin on your shots?
Starting point is 00:14:43 You guys know how to handle it? Oh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, I'll be playing later today. We got a good little crew. I'll see if I can get like some highlights or something. We'll strap on a GoPro. We'll make some content out of it. That would be perfect.
Starting point is 00:14:54 A GoPro. A bow pro. Because I'm not going to lie. I feel like you're embellishing your pickleball skills just a little bit. Just because I went out there and I tried it a little bit and I seen a few people play. And I'm not a tennis player. And I feel like it's something that if you're good at tennis, you're probably awesome at pickleball. And just the motions is not full.
Starting point is 00:15:21 ball-esque, but you said you played hockey. So maybe you have, maybe you can twing the racket differently. So I'll give you that, but I have to see some video, man. We should have played in Arizona, man. That's like pickleball mecca right now. Bro, you can stay long enough to do anything, man. You missed everything. You're talking to FOMO right here, facts.
Starting point is 00:15:41 I haven't seen you since Arizona, so we haven't really had time to go over this. But like, you guys had me fucked up talking about all the fun stuff you're doing on Friday. Because I left at 6 a.m. on Friday. No, but I'm bad. because I want to know what happened in the fucking party that we didn't get into that you graciously, luckily got into you and Chris
Starting point is 00:15:59 and I'm not going to lie. I was salty because I'm like, hey, I'm an ex-player too. Can I go in? And they're like, and you guys just, you, Chris and Clay's Campbell's like, yeah, peace out. There's other clubs over there, guys. Let me tell you exactly what happened.
Starting point is 00:16:13 We're standing in line. Like, we're standing in line forever. Beanie was working his age and stuff trying to get us in. And I turn around and there's the biggest motherfucker in the entire. world that I've ever seen. And he goes,
Starting point is 00:16:23 Hey, what's up, man? I'm Kalaise Campbell. Yeah, dude, I fucking know who you are. Like, I play football against you
Starting point is 00:16:29 and you're a fucking massive. Everybody knows who you are. And so he's talking to the bouncer, like, get him in. The bouncer was like real gunshot. You know how bouncers will be, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:38 yeah. You give them a little shred of power. They love it. Oh, my God. They were real, real timid around Kaleas. So Klaas, like, gets like 15 people in.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Chris is getting in. I'm kind of like left out there in the dust. I was like, Hey, Calais, don't forget about me, man. He's like, all right, this guy's with me too. And I just bawled him all the way into the club. So if you ever need a pass to get into the club, just get in his hip pocket, man.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Okay, so that party that you got into that night, what stars and celebrities were in there? Like, what party was that? And then we'll tell you about the Drake party. Honestly, I think it was Rick Ross, man. And Chris and I met Rick Ross at our, like, Super Bowl ceremony in Philly. So, like, we go way back with Ricky Rose. day. Like, we're pretty good friends of his. I'm surprised we weren't on the list. But we were catching up, we saw a bunch of Eagles guys. We were catching up with Kamu.
Starting point is 00:17:29 I went to buy a shot of tequila, like a shot of beer, you know, classic little move when you get into the bar. 20 bucks? Yeah. Dude, listen to this. So the bartender was like, I was like, yeah, okay, it's like five shots, tequila, five beers. And she's like, yeah, sure. Like, what do you want? I was like, I don't care anything. As long as it's not rail. $2.30. $450.000. She has $450. bucks. I was like, okay, this ain't real. But I just paid it and just like, oh, fuck. Hell no. You paid that?
Starting point is 00:18:00 Yeah, dude, I was drunk already. Whatever. That's a write-off, man. It's a business expense, you know? How many shots and how many beers? Five shots, five beers, four and fifty bucks. Yeah. I was like, I should have been like, hey, can you put this on Calaisus's tab?
Starting point is 00:18:16 At the cash shop party, all the tequila was free. Exactly. the Taco Bell, too. Free. And there was waitresses with Taco Bell, bro. Pizza tacos, crunchy gordita wraps. Bro. How much did you eat, facts?
Starting point is 00:18:33 Yo, actually, it saved me because our journey home that night was crazy waiting to get food and waiting for a car. So I had about like four tacos. I shoved like four tacos. like down my throat quick. Yeah. Before we left. And honestly, I think it saved me.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Because it did take us a damn hour and a half to get food from Filipperto's, not their fault. It was, you know, four in the morning or whatever the heck. But cash app should put it on. You had a full day on Friday, man. Boy, did we have a full day. Oh, man. Waste management open.
Starting point is 00:19:12 You missed a lot. You missed a lot. Dude, no, but what else you missed, bro? Well, I don't know if you're really into weed like I am and like the rest of the guys. But going into a dispensary and be able to get an ounce of whatever you want, like, that, that was pretty dope. It was a lot of fun. And if any dispensaries hear this and they want to offer it to us, we will gladly come because that is a fun experience. And we had a blast.
Starting point is 00:19:42 What else did we do? We, yeah, the waste management, I think that's something, I think that, I think that's something we should pencil in. And as long as it, if it doesn't collide with Super Bowl week, like the waste management, I think it's right up. It's right up. You did a great job inspecting all the porta potties. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they're all up to code.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Gross. Gross. Some of the scenes at the portal potties is just like, I don't even know how, I don't know how people just like, I don't know. Like people were going into the bathroom in public or maybe. Maybe it's just that you just get so drunk. I don't drink like that to the point I get blackout or I'm like, feeling like I'm about to shit on myself or whatever.
Starting point is 00:20:31 So maybe I don't understand. But the scenes at the Port-a-Potties like there was absolutely treacherous and disgusting. Yeah, there were some nasty. You sent through some nasty pictures. But also, like, it was a weird environment. And Bo you went there on, I think on Thursday. it's, you know, they, they, it's a, it's a golf tournament. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:53 But it's really just a massive party while people are playing golf. I think I've seen, I think I've seen about maybe two shots. Yeah. That's what Kyle said. I've seen one guy putt randomly because when we were in the corner, um, and we were talking to Bob Minnery and, and that, and that, and that, and that fake, um, caddy who thought I was LaGarra. I see you, Legerrett.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Who swore I was LaGarid Blunt. During that indirect. there was someone putting putting like in the background and I happened to look and they missed the punt and I think I maybe watch one guy tee off on 16 just one time and I don't remember any other golf going on yeah there really wasn't and do we know like the whole thing is like people really waiting for the 16 for someone to potentially hit a home yeah yeah yeah it didn't happen no one at least while we were there okay um but yeah the 16th um but yeah the 16th And I think that was where you were, Bo, right, on Thursday the 16th.
Starting point is 00:21:54 So it's that stadium hole, you know, seating all around. They'll boo you if you don't hit it on the green. They cheer, you know, they go crazy. Last year and you'll, you'll, you would have seen this. Yeah, you guys were there for the streaker. Yeah, you guys saw the streaker. And last year, you'll, you would have seen this if you watched the full swing Netflix documentary.
Starting point is 00:22:13 But Harry Higgs and Joel Damon are playing together. Harry Higgs is probably like a 40-foot put. And they're like the early group. They're like bottom of the leaderboard. They're the early group. They're playing by themselves. And so they go, Higgs hits this putt. It goes in, rips his shirt off, and then all the fans just start raining beers down on the golf course.
Starting point is 00:22:35 So there's just just beers covered all over the place. And then Joel Damon rips his shirt off. And then whatever other beers they can find just start launching all these fans. Like cheering? Oh, yeah. Like cheering. Oh, okay. Oh, and you see it erupt like trying to think of a, uh, trying to think of a, uh,
Starting point is 00:22:50 good compliment but like you know I'll see I'll show you the video it's just like an explosion of beer in the stands no I just started watching a full swing cowboy it's pretty good man it's good in it episode one last night yeah yeah yeah pretty cool I mean yeah I like the the uh the JT and the Jordan speed little stuff they had and then yeah yeah the frenemy yeah yeah exactly isn't it wild how they're just like oh you want to do like a hundred dollars a whole Oh, how about this chip for $100? Oh, yeah, let's bet on this for $1,000. They probably play so many practices.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Oh, yeah. They're just trying to recreate some sort of competitive atmosphere. I honestly feel like it's a blessing that I'm not good at golf because honestly, I feel like golf is something like for me personally. I know if I was good, I would take any bet at any time. Right. It's like one of those games. Like if you're confident, like in your game, it's just like, yeah, like I'll take money off you.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Yeah. And it's a game that, you know, you know, it's a game that, you know, you can bet on anything. Oh, you want to, I'll drive this hole. Let's play. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:23:51 close to the pin. Boge up, bogey down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Skins. You know those things are degenerates too. And then in the,
Starting point is 00:23:57 like Michael Jordan's famous for gambling. Yeah. But like JT and, uh, speed in the plane on the way to like, I don't know, some, uh,
Starting point is 00:24:05 some match they're betting on like high card. Yeah. I'm not gonna lie in my, in my video game, video game days playing Tiger Wood. Like I used to get really competitive with my friends. Yeah. Like being able to use the analog
Starting point is 00:24:17 and get it the right way for power shots and things like that. I remember how competitive that, like, you would get with that. And I could just think about doing that in real life, just being like, yeah, like, if I was really good, because I see a lot of my friends play, but it's just like maybe it's because football, like, my back doesn't have it. Like, you got to have, like,
Starting point is 00:24:38 these guys have really strong cores and low backs because you don't realize just sitting there swinging for four to six hours, straight like that shit takes a toll on oh yeah yeah man you can get sore after you know just one hour on the range dude and then these dudes do it all day it was two 15 minute running halves this basketball game four three four days ago and I'm still stiff so it's just like sheesh yeah I feel you facts I'm still recovering from that celebrity basketball game man I don't have the same sense bro cash app the easy way to send spend save and invest with friends cash

I got in a debate with these dudes I play pickleball with.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Scotty Miller, wide receiver for the bucks. I'd be a free agent soon, but he asked me, he's like, could you play in the XFL today? If they called you up, could you play? You told them no, right? I was like, fuck yeah, I could play, bro. I'd be out there every snap, but like, would I play? But honestly, but honestly, you probably wouldn't be that good right now. Would you?
Starting point is 00:28:10 Come find me, bro. Come, come. Hey, why don't we fucking. What position, bro? Like, honestly, I feel like in, like, like, honestly, honestly, if you were in the XFL, and I was in XFL and I played offensive line, there's no way you're going, there's no way you're being productive in a game against me.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Hey, next time, next time we're together, man, we'll do it one-on-one. I'm a fucking bullrush you to oblivion. Let's see how your back feels up with that, right? I'm cutting you. I'm a smart player. I'm going to hurdle you, bro.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Hurtle? I'm a hurdle you. You're going to have to prove that to me, bro. Actually, though, I bet you we could play O-L in the XFL because I was watching what. What game was I watching the Orlando? That's their weakest, that's the weakest spot in the league right now. They can't find any, any O'Lyman to fill up these rosters.
Starting point is 00:29:00 You think, you think if Kyle put us through like a year of training, like by next season, like we could be like low tier like XFL, like maybe like backup or starting, starting like O'Liman. I'm not even sure it would take a year. I feel like I don't think you guys just do a month. Yeah. You give me two months of training with Kyle, a little pass at all, you know. Yeah. A little technique that's all you need.
Starting point is 00:29:24 A little alternate hand punch. I think I could get in there and play center, you know, working on my snaps a little bit. Yeah. I think I would be like probably a decent pulling guard. Like, because honestly with my confidence, I think I can take on like one on like one on one on blocks like like blocking someone
Starting point is 00:29:41 for a couple of seconds. I think I can do that without like getting a penalty. But it's just like just like everything, taking on games and picks and flying. down linebackers, I think that'll be a little, like a little tough. And honestly, I feel like the XFL for you guys just, you know, in your mind, could be a training or a proven ground for a position you ever played before. Like the O line, say Kyle wanted to be a be a tight end or some shit.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Yeah. Chris wanted to be like, fuck it, I'll play quarterback. Yeah. Well, that's the thing. I mean, we're in a dead period right now of, you know, no football. It's, you know, we got the combine. It's kind of the next big, big thing for the NFL. So it was a little bit fun to watch some of the XFL stuff over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Like I said, I watched that game. And then Wade Phillips is the coach. Yeah. Hines-Whornex. Yeah, Hines-Warden. It's interesting, too, because all the head coaches in the XFL are GMs. And so then I was thinking, like, I loved the 2001 XFL season. Like, this is the third iteration.
Starting point is 00:30:41 They did one in 2001, which I think we all kind of remember. Like, I was telling you guys the other day, like, I had a XFL football. like that thing just it was so sick it was black it had the big red ax on it the silver laces I'm trying to think how I got my hands on that but I definitely had that same exact football and I just remember being young and low key wanting a he hate me jersey when that when that when that's the coolest thing that that that have being able to have your nickname like on your jersey and if you were like
Starting point is 00:31:16 good like he was that that was that was pretty that was pretty cool what would you put on your jersey on the back of your jersey like right now doctor fax but probably like when i was playing just probably like big nate or nasty Nate probably most likely nasty Nate if they do if we play in the x-fell let's say we play next season you know we're i'm a i'm a center you're left guard you do doc i'm just doing straight emojis on the back of my day oh no yeah yeah that'll be i'm gonna change it up every week depending on like what my mood for the week is no i'm just gonna put the black doctor emoji in the fax machine. I got my back.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Yeah. Yeah. What the hell is that? I'm doing emojis on the back of my jersey. You guys can decipher this shit. Honestly, those would be highly purchased jerseys in the XFL, you know, um, uh, uh, whatever. Yeah, shop. Let's mock up some green light XFL jerse for me and doctor for the butter king and
Starting point is 00:32:07 doctor fax. Oh, they look so good. Some of those 2001 rules were hilarious though, like no opening kickoff. They have the opening scramble they called it or like two dudes just race for a ball. You know, it's almost like a face off on the cross. And then, so I was watching the, I was watching some clips of that. That shit was so fun. I mean, we do that back in the day and like, I guess I was in middle school with that big black XFL football.
Starting point is 00:32:31 It was so fun. And then 2001 rules, like they had no fair catches or no kneeling in the end zone. So I was on YouTube just watching clips of people getting destroyed. Yeah. The no halo rule is crazy to think about. Like that that could seriously get someone killed like the no-a-low rule. I love how they like leaned so far into the like, this is a more aggressive form of football.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Like this is extreme football. And now kind of, I mean, with some of the rules of the XFL, like I was brushing up on those after watching that game. And it's interesting because like they kind of got away from that a little bit. Like I was hoping maybe they lean into that, but with player safety and everything.
Starting point is 00:33:09 And it just feels like they're trying to, you know, try out some rules that might, that people have talked about on like social media and stuff and in the media that might be better for, I don't know, for the game. So it is interesting to see how some of these rules might affect the game going forward. I tweeted this. As of now, I don't hate it. Like I don't hate the product that that was put out there.
Starting point is 00:33:33 I think the rock and his team, they did for the first week, I think they did a great job. Just like we're saying, we love football here. We absolutely love it. And for him to put a product out there that is just not immediately, we live in a, we live in a world that like if it was bad, like, if it was bad product, everyone had been shitting on this, like, you know, this is terrible. What the hell is the rock doing? And I think from this, just this first week, this revamp and maybe the COVID year helped
Starting point is 00:34:09 that they couldn't, they couldn't start and they really got stuff together, I, I kind of like what was put out there. And it's something that for a guy, like, when I was playing, I was on the fringe, and when I got hurt in the NFL, your next step thinking about getting back into the game, it's, I ended up, I was
Starting point is 00:34:29 confident enough that, hey, I can go to Canada and do my thing in Canada. If my body responds the right way, like then, if it's meant to be, I'll get back to the league. But a lot of guys are afraid to do that. For one, you're not trying to really leave the country. And then with the CFL, you have
Starting point is 00:34:45 to sign a two-year deal, and that's scary for a lot of guys, because in a perfect world, you want to play one year. You're like, oh, I'm going to ball out on these Canadian dudes, and then, like, the NFL team's going to want to pick me up, and it's not, it doesn't really happen like that. So having this be an option now where you can make 60K, like, right after a season, if you're on a practice squad, and or if you're a fringe guy, maybe just got cut, and you can stay in shape and you can put some good film and like you're saying you're playing with real coaches and real guys and at the end of the day it's something where it's also about relationships these coaches they they still are like have relationship with other coaches in the league and they can get
Starting point is 00:35:29 the insight hey how's this guy really doing in practice how is this guy as a person like should we give him another chance and it's something where if you're doing your right if you're doing the right thing like you can use this to as a real good opportunity for some of these guys that maybe get back or hey if you want to just play football after college and you want to play at competitive level and make some money it's still it's still a pro game and at the end of the day you're still playing football to make money so if you love the game it's a great it's a great option and for the folks watching on youtube you've got your CFL jersey on it's looking real good um the rock isn't slick like he like he's not the only one guys when you put on a game jersey
Starting point is 00:36:11 it makes you look big and ripped. But the rock, the rock, he looked good and I'm not going to lie. His opening speech, it got me kind of hype. Like, it's funny seeing him in the Jersey.
Starting point is 00:36:23 It got you hyped enough to think you can play O-L-L-Ga. Exactly. It's just like, yo, this is your, and everything he said was true. It was just like, hey,
Starting point is 00:36:31 some of you guys, like, it might be your last chance, but hey, like, if you put your best foot forward, like, you can,
Starting point is 00:36:37 you can make some money or you can just keep, keep the dream alive of playing a sport, like everyone doesn't have to be in the NFL like to play to play it's good for the national football league as well to have a health to have a minor league like if you look at all the other pro sports we don't have a deal league they have good developmental leagues like that's important i hope the xFL continues to succeed well you when you i was buzzing through the roster too
Starting point is 00:36:58 there are actually some guys you know on these xFL rosters that have pretty good NFL experience and some guys that were like pretty high draft picks i mean look at vic beesley he's in Vegas. Martavius Bryant. There's a lot of, like, Karan Reed. He went to Princeton. He played it for the Lions for a while.
Starting point is 00:37:15 AJ McCarren. And that's cool. Brad Wing, Ponner. I mean, I think his story is cool, AJ McCarron. And for guys who,
Starting point is 00:37:22 like, maybe you are a quarterback and maybe you have kids. And like, hey, you feel like, hey, maybe I don't want to play
Starting point is 00:37:29 in the league, but I still got it. And I can go out there and I can play for a few weeks. And like, like he said, he's like, My kids only get to see me on YouTube, so they want to see me play some real action.
Starting point is 00:37:41 And even if he doesn't play any more games, he actually got to get out there and do it. His kids were in the stands. So I think that's a cool little factor also. Yeah. And, you know, you said it. It's another option. We'll get into these kind of rules and stuff in a second. But yeah, it's another option for these guys.
Starting point is 00:37:56 It's kind of the NFL dead period, right, for these guys who, you know, they're not, they've already been, went through the draft process and free agent signings. but they just want a shot to get stuff on tape to have a shot in the partnership. And the rules are talking about. The rules is like if you're on a practice squad, you can still. Yeah, if you're on an NFL practice squad, you can come over to the XFL, put more tape out, get more chances. And a lot of these coaches still have, you know, the ties to NFL locker rooms. You know, Wade Phillips, Jim Haslett, Heinzward Rod Woodson.
Starting point is 00:38:30 They're all well-respected guys in NFL circles. if they say, hey, this guy really, you know, played well for this XFL team. Put them on your, you know, summer on your summer camp list. Like, get him out here. But I like it too for guys, too, because if you're on a practice squad, you're not making the same amount of money as everyone on the regular roster. And this is a chance that, hey, like in my offseason, I can make an extra 60K or whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:38:54 And then, like, if you're playing a team where you're winning, you get those with those win bonuses. I like it for that aspect. You stay in shape. I love the win bonus. Exactly. You stay in shape. You keep money.
Starting point is 00:39:04 in your pocket and and like potentially like you hopefully you're getting better um for for your next shot at the NFL it's also great for those young coaches of color that you mentioned guys like hines ward and rod woodson like the NFL for whatever reason has not been very progressive with giving former players of color chances right off right off the bat and wouldn't surprise me at all to see them but that's my thing like is even if they do exponentially like put up great numbers all that Do you think that will be a factor to help them, like, if they're trying to move up to the next level? I do think so, yeah. It's a foot in the door, at least.
Starting point is 00:39:42 It's a great training ground. It's a great spot. You know, Jeff Saturday would have had, would have been much more accepted if he had started in this kind of role rather than pulled right into the colds. So do you think that's something that guys would respect, say, if they got Jeff Saturday. Do you think Jeff Saturday now, like, there's no way I will ever go back down to coach something like that because I already got a chance. in the league. I feel like it would be hard for him to go back to the XFL starting like that. But as a first year for someone to coach, head coach for the first time with no previous experience like Jeff Saturday had, it's a much more appropriate training ground almost.
Starting point is 00:40:18 But let's run through some of these rules. Yeah, man. Let's hit some of these rules, because I think they are a little bit different than some NFL rules and could lead to some interesting discussion here. Yeah. So starting with the kickoff and we saw this plenty, but you saw them line up five yards apart. So it's not like you don't get a full sprint to come down at each other. And you guys have probably been on or have been up close and personal to the wedges on kickoffs, you know. But back in the day, the wedge was a blood bath, man.
Starting point is 00:40:47 It didn't, it didn't sound fun. No. I was telling these guys, Legeet, were you there? Yeah, Lejeet Doosable who hopped on a live show. What is me and him were on the wedge together in Jacksonville. And we used to give guys concussions weekly, like weekly because we were two. two big ass dudes and we knew, hey, if we run through full speed and none of us like, like clam up at all, like no one's going to blow through us. Like nobody is going to blow through us.
Starting point is 00:41:16 And I think about that now. And it's, it's literally a car crash. It's super dangerous. And you can bring arms with your guys too. I think you could have a three man wedge at that point. No, no, it was two. They had broken. But in college, in college, I definitely was a part of a four man wedge my first, my first couple of years. And, That's probably the easiest, like the most dangerous thing. Yeah, I'll never forget in college, like three, you had that wedge, guys are linking arms. There's a guy on the kickoff team who's the wedge buster.
Starting point is 00:41:44 He's basically just some linebacker that's a psycho, he's not a friend of CTE, who's going to run downfield and bust the wedge. Yeah, and then one game, this dude hopped the wedge. He jumped over the wedge. The dude with that, you know, the linked arms, and he made a tackle. So then the next play or the next kickoff,
Starting point is 00:42:00 he tried to do it again. And the wedge, it was like some shit out of any given. any given Sunday. The dudes on the wedge, like, lifted up their arms and, like, clipped his legs out from underneath him. And he, like, went ass over tea kettle. He did not try to hop the wedge again. So that's what's cool about what the XFL is doing is that,
Starting point is 00:42:16 you know, they're encouraging kickoff returns, like not to kneel it, but also doing it in a safe way that no one's looking to get injured. I think I like that. And it's still showcasing, for special team guys, it's about winning one-on-ones.
Starting point is 00:42:31 And by bringing them to guys close, like that and then you can't move until the returner catches the ball. Um, I think that will exponentially like take down injuries, but also with NFL players, I think it looks like that looks different. And like I'm, I'm intrigued to see what that would look like with NFL like, good on good like special team guys, the best on the best, how that would like, how, how, how that, how that would change the game and would that make it.
Starting point is 00:43:03 that much easier or harder for returners because in my head it says that there's a lot more return touchdowns like in the NFL if you do change it which maybe we like but um I don't know but it would be interesting to see I do I do less space so it is interesting yeah like there's it's a more condensed area so kind of it's gonna be interesting to see how that plays up all right what else you got for is cowboy so moving down this rule list um we've got three timeouts per half 35 second play clock after touchdowns you've got a tiered extra point system so you get you get a one point attempt from the two point from the two yard line two points from the five or a three point from the ten and kinkton was running through the math it might make sense the most sense to go for three
Starting point is 00:43:51 i think if you like evaluate your odd like if it's the end of the game and you just need one point to like win or go ahead then of course you take the two yarder but yeah i would say like generally if you score first or it's early in the game you should go for three i think it's the most expected points what i was confused on this is you have to run a play you can't kick or you can it has to be it has to be a play so like after you score like so they're taking out they're taking out kicking like yeah a little bit of kicking like you only kick in just regular field goal right right basically it also makes comebacks more accessible let's say you're down 18 that could be two touchdowns yes yes i get that i like it a lot more expected points let's bring analytics into xFL
Starting point is 00:44:31 And it's way more betting. Way more betting opportunities. More betting, more action, more points. It's interesting. So then we've got touchback rules. If a team fumbles into an opponent's end zone and the ball goes out of bounds without being recovered, it's not a touchback. Instead, the offense regains possession.
Starting point is 00:44:49 So that's one that every time it happens in the NFL, on Twitter, everyone's like, what the fuck does this mean? This makes no sense. So now the XFL is trying to, or is, you know, simplifying it, making it more understandable. So the offense just kind of retains possession. Because in a league, like the other team, you have to punt it, right? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:10 It's the punt. Yeah, it changes possession. Then also we've got reviews. So all reviews from the replay booth in the XFL, the 20, or coaches will have one challenge per game. It's a golden challenge. So they can use it on any play, any penalty in the in a game. It doesn't matter when or where.
Starting point is 00:45:31 can be thrown out. So that's, I mean, some of these penalties, I mean, shit, we saw it in the Super Bowl. You know, they could review it while it was the right call that, you know, could throw over you. And they might even, in the XFL, they might even be able to see because what we saw in the, in the Super Bowl, oh, we had the jersey, but also there was the hands of the face, you know, on the, on the D-Lon.
Starting point is 00:45:51 So it might be able to bring up another penalty off-setting. There's also, uh, I'm not going to lie. I don't like how Dean Blendino is there. and I feel like the officiating and them getting the calls right were quicker and better when he was there working on these games versus how it is like with the NFL when they're asking the questions and they have they have Dean they're going to Dean asking hey what's going on here I feel like they I feel like the NFL they did a pretty good job with getting whatever it was going to be called or whatever it was going on I feel like they did a real good job and
Starting point is 00:46:26 I feel like in that aspect it kind of made the NFL look bad after a season where the officiating was talked about like a bunch in a negative aspect right speaking of making the NFL look bad like I want to know what you guys think about the overtime rules overtime in NFL has obviously been massively controversial in the XFL each team gets three attempts from five yards out and the team that completes most of those successfully wins what do you guys think of that I would like it if it's from 10 I just feel like the I feel like the game of football is can like consistently getting 10 yards for a first down. But at the same token, it does shorten the field,
Starting point is 00:47:10 which in like in the red zone, it does make it a little harder to score. So I'm not mad at that. It helps the defense, right? If you're in the five-yard line. Yeah, but like in five-yard, it's just one play, right? Yeah, you do it three times, but it's just one play to score. So you have three attempts from the five. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:27 You could complete zero, one, two, or three of them. And whichever team completes the most from the five successfully scores on that possession wins the game. I like it. I think we have to see how it unfolds. I think, you know, it's going to be very interesting to see what teams go with there. Wasn't the original rule in like 2020 or something like that if, you know, like let's say you get the first possession overtime and you score on the second attempt, then the opposing team would only get two attempts, right? So each team gets three attempts, no matter what under this iteration in 23.
Starting point is 00:47:57 A minimum of three. And if they're tied, they just keep going. Got it. I mean, that's interesting. I like that for the aspect that there's any ballsy coaches. And you really, like, you know, you have them out there. It's just you line up and you run the three, you run, you run ISO three times in a row. And let them know, hey, my big guys are going to push your big guys.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Nate and Bo are going to block you guys into the end zone. Oh, man. These fucking washed NFL, D. Lyman, are going to block this shit out of you. That would be great. And then, and then, um, and we saw this. a couple times, but the XFL does a fourth and 15 instead of an onside kick. We saw one success, one incomplete for the 15, but to retain possession instead of an onside kick, fourth and 15.
Starting point is 00:48:44 The XFL just hates kicking. They're just removing all kicking from the game. I mean, I like that. I think that's interesting. I think that's a fun little change up. You know what I mean? Like I'm all for these crazy XFL rules. Bro.
Starting point is 00:48:59 You know, like, let's make it even crazier. Let's keep, let's keep going. Let's keep going in that direction. And they did that in the NFL, like, it can get nasty real quick. Playing someone like Kansas City, 15 yards to give 15 yards quick, bro, the other team's offense would never, ever get the ball. They would never ever get the ball because it's just like, yo, that's too easy. Like, even like the Eagles, like a quick, yo, anything, like 15 yards, 15 yards.
Starting point is 00:49:28 15 yards. that that's too easy. Yeah, some of these teams just have those play scripted. I do like it for like for the XFL, but at the same time, like defense got to show up. You got to play defense. And I mean, that's as part of the game. But I do feel like that can get a little gimmicky because I don't think it's that hard to, to as a coach to have a bunch of fourth and 15 plays that are probably going to be like somewhat
Starting point is 00:49:59 short shots to to get a first down well then yeah so like if you have a penalty like a PI or something like that you that's a first down right in that scenario yeah yeah depending on how many yards but yeah it it'd count and we saw the st louis battle hawks successfully uh fourth and 15 count it to win 18 to 15 it uh you know helped in their comeback they have the best bands in the x-fell they yeah they do and it helps you know is that the jersey he wore because i didn't like that with the rock that he picked one team to win because it feels like you got favorites now. Like, why do you pick that? The St. Louis people were so aggrieved when the Rams lost that when the XFL came,
Starting point is 00:50:39 they all rallied together around it. So they have like the best attendance in the XFL. Oh, that's clear. And there's one other rule I wanted to ask you about this, the punter. If the punt goes into the end zone or it goes out of bounds on the sideline inside of the 35 yard line, a touchback goes all the way out to the 35. So the punter really can't kick it into the end zone, can't do any of the like coffin corner stuff to the sideline.
Starting point is 00:51:06 It's all just about like punting it down the middle, nice and high, and you're going to see a lot of punt returns because it's another way to encourage punt. Yeah, precision punting. And then like it's on the, it's really also too on the return team. Like if you want to be ballsy, like you got to get your return.
Starting point is 00:51:23 It's just like the NFL. Like you got to get the guys to down the ball before it goes in the end zone. but the fact that you're picking away the sidelines also, yeah, like punters in this league, you kind of got to showcase, it's different. I don't know what, I don't know what this league really does for kickers, like just like in the kicking game in general,
Starting point is 00:51:42 like punters and or field goal kickers. It's one of those things. You have odd jobs here because it's not the same mindset at all when you're kicking every single play for a punter. not having that sideline to your advantage. But yeah, like, have we seen any kick returns yet? Were there any kick or punt turns yet? Wasn't there one kick return for a touchdown?
Starting point is 00:52:06 I thought I saw. Yeah, there was one. I can't remember what game it was in. But it'll just be cool over the course of the season to see these rules tested in like a real football environment. Like every other sport when they make rule changes, like baseball's rule changes recently or basketballs. They tested them in their minor league to see what worked and what didn't.
Starting point is 00:52:24 So now we can do that for football too, which I think it does feel like the NFL is working with the XFL and some of these things like what you said Nate like the P squad players can still play the XFL and stuff so it's it's an interesting conversation to have like is the NFL kind of using like purposely using these rules to kind of like you know test them out and see what works yeah it's long long overdue and hopefully the rock and his people they can keep the product going well that that that that that that that that ends up being maybe like the NFL D league or whatever it goes I'm kind of in on the the XFL, Dr. Fax. What about you? What do you think? As of now, as of now, XFL is Dr. Facts approved.
Starting point is 00:53:03 So we've got, we've got week two, actually two day. We've got a game tonight. The St. Louis Battlehawks, Seattle Sea Dragons. And the Rock was wearing the Arlington Renegades jersey when he made that announcement. All the teams are, every single team is running training camp out of Arlington and then they travel to each destination, which is interesting. That was confusing for me because there is a DC team, right? And they play at the soccer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I was like, I was like, is it Arlington, Virginia, the team?
Starting point is 00:53:35 But it's not. Yeah, Arlington, Texas. What's the DC team name? DC defenders. The defenders. Maybe got to catch a game. Yeah, they play Vegas Vipers on Saturday in Vegas. Here's what we need to do, guys.
Starting point is 00:53:48 We need to petition the XFL. Let's get Chris, Dr. Fax, the Butter King. I want to call an XFL. NFL game. You guys have in the booth. Yep. That'd be great. We'll get facts on the sideline.
Starting point is 00:54:01 It's a perfect. Yeah. On the side one. I'm on the field. I'll be the color guy. The sideline interviews, they, they got to spice it up. You can chirp the offensive linemen and be like, yo, I play de-tackling the NFL and I can do better than you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:15 Like, you guys, like, I want to talk to the guys after they get pancake. Like, hey, you got pancake that last series. Like, what are you going to do better this upcoming series? or what happened on that? Well, Nate, I'm going to not get panicked on this one. Because it's just like, if you're going to interview guys, you got to do stuff like that because I don't know what I would say after I got pancake
Starting point is 00:54:35 and I had to do an interview on the sideline. Yeah, it would be tough. I would say, get the fuck out of my face, guy. Trying to get some gatorade on the sideline. You come out here and take on these double twos. But I was, I mean, I was watching it too, reading it. It was cool because they did have the offensive coordinator and the quarterbacks were like really mic up.
Starting point is 00:54:53 The players did feel really accessible, like on the sidelines and stuff like that. Which is what they're pushing. They want that feel that, you know, like that you're in the huddle with them. Yeah. And so many teams in the NFL do such a good job of, you know, hiding all of their in-game communication and stuff like that because it gets picked by their teams and makes a competitive advantage. So it was fun to listen into the play calls and like figure out what's going on. And, you know, I just I just think it makes for a pretty interesting fan experience.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Right. So we'll be in on XFL the rest of the season. It's a 10-week season culminating with semifinals, four teams, and then a championship. But we want to talk about, so the group chat was blown up the last couple days because we had thrown in some talk. We had just, you know, we were thrown in news stories. And you two were the two biggest, you know, just seemed to be on the opposite end of the spectrum of each one of these. Gasoline on these group chat discussion. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:55:51 And usually it just leads some meetings. and Nate coming to a head about something and we're both stubborn people that are never wrong. Yeah, which is great. And it provides for great commentary when I check my phone and I've got 15 texts and it's Bo and Nate going back and forth. But the first one, we've got Clyde Edwards Allaire. He went to the New York fashion show instead of attending the Super Bowl parade. And Bo, you've been to a Super Bowl parade before and you're adamant that he should not have skipped it. No, I want to clap for my life, man. The Super Bowl parade in Philly was amazing. I wouldn't miss that for the birth of my child but you're also but you're also a drinker you're also a team
Starting point is 00:56:28 guy you're also like all these things that at the end but i'm a fashion guy too you see me i'm you know i got some good looks i'm so if i could walk in the in the new york fashion week and so if they invited you to do that maybe maybe going to the parade is something you think about maybe not doing i don't know you also went to a wedding over going to a drake concert bro you know what that's actually a fucking good point but that's different you know what i mean dray i'm not i'm not i'm not i'm not skipping the super bowl parade for anything man it's it's you're out there with your boys and the entire city but look celebrating success at the highest level in your field bro but doesn't get any better than that it's not you you know every team has outcast every team has a guy that like realistically outside
Starting point is 00:57:13 the locker room i have no boys on the team i'm not chilling with anyone on the team and like it's cool like as long as i'm going to the locker room and I'm playing well, like no one really cares about it. But at the same token, there's definitely guys on every single team that don't party, that don't drink, that don't like that. And it's something where you don't get paid for that parade. What if he got paid to do the fashion week? No chance he got paid.
Starting point is 00:57:37 How do you know? How do you know? He's the only guy in New York after the Super Bowl. Think about how many appearance kids you get. One guy in New York City, why everyone's in Kansas City on the float. You know what I got to keep the clothes that he wore. in the whatever they might be worked a lot of money bro you never know dude you are invincible at the Super Bowl parade man I'll never forget we were up there on the buses we were catching beers
Starting point is 00:58:01 we were exactly bro okay for someone who doesn't drink or doesn't party so here's here's a little secret about me I didn't drink for three years two and a half years uh leading up to the Super Bowl did not drink didn't touch a sip not a sip and you gave your sobriety up your sobriety up for the parade in a second dude that was the best that first beer at the super bowl parade you're proving my point that was the best beer i've ever had what if he's a guy who's sober and he doesn't want to ruin it he doesn't want to do what he did amazing energy dude we could i feel like i could
Starting point is 00:58:37 have walked out of the bus and just beat the shit out of someone on the streets of philly and no consequences everyone would have a single thing wrong that day we're cheered man and i mean you saw it you saw it in the in the kansas city parade you saw i had patrick my home's almost fall off a bus chugging a beer you saw um who was that guy you climbed up the of the bus leo chanall yeah he's a rookie linebacker wisconsin guy boy he's had some bounce didn't he just wolverine wolverined himself up on to right up and i see everyone's saying that like he's maybe not a team player and if that's the case too i like his decision not to go either because if you're going to be a debby downer if you're going to be a debby downer why should i be there knowing i'm
Starting point is 00:59:16 upset maybe i didn't play a lot maybe i thought i should play over over the running back who got to play. And then on top of it, the way Pacheco, everyone was cheering for him. He was dancing outside the float. Like, think about if he is has internal beef about that. Bro, that's a miserable. That's a miserable float ride, getting drunk and just being like, yeah, I won the Super Bowl, but I didn't get to do what I wanted to do.
Starting point is 00:59:40 And look at this guy taking on my shine right now. Some people are like that. He might never get a chance for another Super Bowl parade, man. There's New York Fashion Week twice a year. Bro, he got the ring, bro. It doesn't matter. Like, people don't remember who's going to be at the Super Bowl. Like, in five years, you think all the fans are going to remember he wasn't there?
Starting point is 00:59:59 They won't remember. Like, you don't see every single player. You don't see every player at the parade. Who's going to remember he was at New York Fashion Wave? Maybe a lot of people. Who knows? I cannot believe this take from you fast. You say you can't believe it?
Starting point is 01:00:14 Why? I'm trying to think of things. You should go. I know you should, but, like, it's just like, you guys have to understand. understand there's guys who don't like who don't like who don't like who aren't social who like to do other stuff and i're projecting a lot on clide though like we don't we don't know that he's like no i don't social diva i don't yeah i don't at all but if he's just a complete boozehound man you know your your argument falls apart i'm just saying man it's like hey don't hey you don't have to you
Starting point is 01:00:40 don't have to you you don't necessarily if it's not mandatory then it's okay that he wasn't there if he didn't get fined if he didn't get fined by the team then honestly it's okay he wasn't there. I do respect how you stick to your principles. Yeah, I don't get that one. There's nothing I'm missing the super. He was like, I'm just here so I don't get fine. Oh, I'm not going to get fine if I'm not here. I'm okay. Later. I got a runway to be on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So another one in the chat that was that was a little spicy. Literally. We saw a, it was a tweet of someone eating ribs on an airplane. He was sitting in the middle seat, I think. And he opened up a rack of ribs. This person took a picture of it and said no way is this person eating ribs on my airplane.
Starting point is 01:01:21 Bo you had talked about the last week about how there was someone, uh, munching on Chipotle on your on your flight in our, um, worst personalities draft and how it. Yeah. Horrible. You don't eat a complete co-break.
Starting point is 01:01:34 Like that's, that's a sociopath move. You do not eat any sort of finger foods on an airplane. Any sort of messy finger foods, anything that's going to get drip sauce on your hands. This guy was eating a Chipotle burrito on this flight that I was on recently and he was just taking huge bites. He was dripping. He was, yeah, it was.
Starting point is 01:01:54 Good for him, man. Good for him. No way. He bought a ticket just like you did, bro. And at the end of the day, if they're serving Chipotle in the airport, then I can eat it. Ribs? If they're serving, if they're serving ribs in the air, if there's, whatever they're serving in the airport, if I can buy it in the airport in in the tunnel or in whatever the, the, the, the, you know, the. The terminal, like, then it's fair game.
Starting point is 01:02:19 It's fair game. You're going to get some sloppy ribs. Bro, if I'm hungry, yes. You're going to eat it with your hands on an airplane. Yes. I would never. I can't even fathom that. Why, though, bro?
Starting point is 01:02:28 Like, if you're hungry, why not? Traveling is already uncomfortable enough. I don't want sticky barbecue sauce over me. You're fighting for the middle, the middle armrests with this dude and his elbows and hands are all sticky from eating ribs. It would be a good way to get ownership of that, of that arm rest. I just think people sometimes are too. His hands are bending.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Yeah, yeah. I think some people are too entitled sometimes to certain things. And it's, hey, if I bought a plane ticket that you bought, like, what makes you say that I can't eat what I want to eat? Like, you just got to deal with it. Like, as long as I'm not spilling anything on you or if I'm not doing anything that's, like, getting you dirty, like, yeah, you have to endure this smell, like, while I eat this food. RIV.
Starting point is 01:03:11 Okay, you're eating. There's, there's, like, leftover weight. when you eat ribs okay no it's not you you what do you do with that being you do do with the garbage the ring that's all you do you're on airplane bro being so you're gonna make this flight attendant take your messy that's their job covered bro that's their job bro that's they literally did sign up for that not ribs they signed up for peanut wrappers you know that's not true man that's not true rappers so what kind of I think I think there's a few foods you can eat on airplanes that's
Starting point is 01:03:41 okay wait I think people alcohol breath is way worse than smelling food. Is it not? Like people talking to you with alcohol breath on a plane, I think that's way worse than smelling food. It's also easily cover up a bowl. Because you can put down a water or something. People don't.
Starting point is 01:03:59 Yeah. I don't know. Drinking and people love drinking. Next flight you take, go on there with a big, you know, big thing of ribs, some cornbread, some bake beans, some coleslaw, all these sloppy sides.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Fish filet guy. See how many dirty looks you get. Well, Here, let's throw, so a few other foods we were thinking about. We'll throw, Kingston and I'll throw some at you. Salads. Same thing. Like any salad you put as much dressing on it is that co-break, no co-break.
Starting point is 01:04:26 That's great. Like, like you got, you can eat a salad? You can eat a salad? No, co-break. So, spaghetti. Not a co-break. You can't eat spaghetti on a fly. You can get a little messy, can it?
Starting point is 01:04:38 You know? You can't. You can't. You can't. What are you slurping up in noodles? You can't do that. Most airports have Sabaro, and you. You can get pasta in there.
Starting point is 01:04:47 So you can't eat pasta from from there, bro? Not spaghetti. Maybe like a rigatoni noodle. All right. How about fish? I'm not talking like a fish filet. I'm talking like straight like a salmon. You just fine.
Starting point is 01:04:59 Yeah, just some smelly. Yeah, yeah. Bro, listen. I picture facts walking on an airplane like cracking some crab legs. I'll eat sushi. What about sushi? What about sushi? What about sushi?
Starting point is 01:05:12 I feel like sushi's not a good bread. No? why that that's a borderline one like fish I think it's easy enough you don't want to eat fish on an airplane but why like I don't understand the airplane experience is miserable enough without some dude in the middle seat next to you
Starting point is 01:05:29 eating ribs and fish and sushi and fish fillet and just making you resent one thing I think would be overboard is cracking and eating crabs if you eat crabs If you were to eat crabs on the plane, I think that is a cold break because there's no way you can eat crabs
Starting point is 01:05:50 without like breaking crabs without it like flying out the way. Everything else, like at the end of the day, if you're a decent human being, you can eat without making a mess. The smell portion, I just think that at the end of the day when you buy a flight on an airplane, wear a mask.
Starting point is 01:06:08 Like you're going to have to endure smells. Like regardless, people smell. different. So the kind of person that's going to bring ribs onto an airplane and eat them is not the kind of person that's going to eat them tidily. But like, okay, so is this different? Like if you're in first class versus versus coach. So you mean like, so if I'm in first class with ribs, is it a different situation than me sitting in coach with ribs? I don't think so.
Starting point is 01:06:32 I think it's ribs. It's not the seat. Because you don't think people in first class, you don't think they're eating all different kinds of shit up there. No chance. You said no chance. What are they up there eating in your mind? Whatever they want. They're spending mad bread.
Starting point is 01:06:47 They're like, oh, I'm in first class. In my mental, I'll eat whatever I want if I'm in first class. They're probably eating nachos, a plate of bloated nachos. You can't eat naches on a flight. That's another one. No. You can do, the only finger food that you can, you're not, finger food you use your hands for to eat on a flight is a sandwich.
Starting point is 01:07:06 That's it. Okay. I think that's fair. I think a sandwich on a flight is fair. One, all right, so this is another, you know, group chat, big fiery take. Let me read this out. You're in an arena with 50 hawks, 10 crocodiles, three brown bears, 15 wolves, one hunter with a rifle, seven Buffalo, 10,000 rats, five guerrillas, four lions. You have to pick two to defend you.
Starting point is 01:07:33 The others all attack you. The goal is to survive one hour. This is easy. I actually got mad at me because I said I'm picking 20,000 rats. because you're what you call it you're like you're not reading the rules but you know how many rats that is 20,000
Starting point is 01:07:49 you got to pick two to defend you though I get it but at the end of the day I think the right answer like the only right answers they have to involve the 10,000 rats because I do I don't think you say no
Starting point is 01:08:04 I'll give you mine at the end because at the end of the day I think 10,000 rats and three brown bears are going to do it. Only because... Bears are lazy, man. A bear will hybrid. Yeah, bears are lazy.
Starting point is 01:08:20 Maybe, but I still don't think 50 hawks are taking down three brown bears no matter what they do. Well, Kingsen has a good. That's how I look at it. And in my head, in my head, do you think you can survive 2,000 rats? Like by yourself?
Starting point is 01:08:39 No, I would kill myself. Huh? I'd kill myself. So, like, because that's my only thing. Like, when you're thinking about what you're going against, like, it's like the hunter with the rifle. Like, even if he's a marksman, it's just like, you can't do anything with that many rats. Dude, with that many rats, you just climb somewhere high to where, like, only a certain
Starting point is 01:08:58 amount can come at you at once and just grab a broom. And then you're just sweeping. But you're in a arena. Those rats are going to overwhelm you, man. You climb up on the side of the thing. You're sweeping. Bo, what do you? Bo, what do you have? What's your answer?
Starting point is 01:09:10 Okay, I thought about this, like, for way too long, honestly. Like, I'm thinking about all these different scenarios, all these different animals. Okay, here's what I'm going with. 10,000 rats is a must. You need those rats. That's so many rats. So I don't know how big this arena is, but in my mind, I was kind of picturing like hockey rink size, you know, kind of been close. If it's a UFC Octagon, that's a completely different scenario.
Starting point is 01:09:33 So I'm going to 10,000 rats because they're just going to overwhelm people. They're going to, like, swarm over you. arena, bro. Like bigger. Yeah, bigger. But 10,000 rats, they're going to, like, just swarm over you. Like, I'm picturing these feral rats. You know, like, the scarletes in the movie, the mummy, the mummy franchise? I'm picturing them, like, crawled all over. Just overwhelming. So, rats for sure is a must pick. And then 15 wolves, 15 wolves, 15 wolves, that's a pack, you know? They're going to work together. That's a coordinated effort from these wolves. So, like, 15 wolves versus one hunter of the rifle. He's got a right.
Starting point is 01:10:08 rifle man like how many bullets you got in that clip 15 wolves some big timber wolves and 10,000 rats that's that's a pretty good that's substantial feeling pretty good about that i see what you guys are doing i got some i got some creative problem solving i think though so i definitely don't like the hunter with the rifle because fuck the hunter with the rifle but i am going to choose them on my team and then i'm also going to choose the 50 hawks i'm going to have the 50 hawks come latch on to my clothing fly me up into the air so that none of these land animals can get to me. Okay. And then I'm going to let the land animals kill the hunter.
Starting point is 01:10:44 I just don't want him to shoot me while I'm in the air. Then I'm good. Wow. Wait, you think you can train 50 hawks to kind of carry you? It says that they will protect me. So I think they could carry me. I have to rethink this.
Starting point is 01:10:56 I'm going with the five gorillas. Right. Because, because I'm thinking about it. They're protective. And they're smart. Yes. The guerrillas,
Starting point is 01:11:06 the five gorillas, if you get five big gorillas and maybe three brown bears and three of those gorillas riding those bears, bro, it's over. You're stomping on all those rats. Exactly. Those gorillas. Gorillas just tap dance.
Starting point is 01:11:21 You can bring as many rats as you want. They're tab dancing. Literally use the other animals. They'll probably take one of those wolves and use them as weapons to like knock down these, these hawks. Hulk smash. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 01:11:35 Because even if you switch it up, Well, gorillas can probably, I think five gorillas versus three brown bears. I'm liking the gorillas. Monkeys are strong, too, facts. Very, you guys ever read about this? Really strong. St. James Davis, you know who that is? No.
Starting point is 01:11:52 Okay, this is a fascinating and morbid tale. St. James Davis is a NASCAR driver. He and his wife could not have children. So they adopted a chimpanzee named Mo. Don't ask me how I got, you know this. Like, I'm telling you. They adopted a chimpanzee named Mo. Mo bit a couple people and got put into
Starting point is 01:12:09 like the state of he lived with them Like they like clothed him They fed him He was like their child Kind of weird but whatever This is a real life thing that happened I thought this sounds like the start of the planet of the apes bro Well just dude listen it gets fucking horrible
Starting point is 01:12:25 So Mo is in like a chimpanzee I don't know sanctuary basically And they would go visit him They visited him for his birthday Brought him like some some Some birthday cake stuff like that Two chimpanzees escaped and attacked this dude and his wife, St. James Davis, and he was horribly, horribly, like, maimed and disfigured.
Starting point is 01:12:45 Look it up. So maybe we're sleeping on these chimpanzees and gorillas, but. No, I don't sleep on them. Like, I think if you watch videos, chimps and gorillas are very, very scary, and they can rip your limbs off and they'll like, they're strong. They'll throw shit at you for fun. Like, they're, they're pretty, they're pretty, scary.
Starting point is 01:13:07 But how many rats? How many rats can one gorilla take out? Oh, it doesn't matter. They're tap dancing. Yeah. They're just,
Starting point is 01:13:15 see, that's the one thing because the gorillas are more like human beings. I think they're, they can overcome. And they've got to take out 2,000 rats.
Starting point is 01:13:24 That's not a problem. 2,000 rats. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Yeah, literally all over the place. They just go bounce. Boom. That girl's going to get tired. Those girls are going to get tired.
Starting point is 01:13:38 Not a chance. They're going to just swarm them. So real fast with St. James Davis, Buddy and Ollie were the two chimpanzees. Ladonna Davis lost her thumb. And St. James Davis was brutally mauled, resulting in permanent disfigurement
Starting point is 01:13:53 and missing extremities. Okay, look up the missing extremities, though. Because I was reading that, I was like, missing extremities, they fucking rip his arm off. No.
Starting point is 01:14:01 They definitely ripped his penis off. That sounds very vague. Exactly. I already know. They do that shit. Like they do that shit. Like that's their shit. He is a glass eye also.
Starting point is 01:14:10 And two slits in the middle of his face where his nose once was. Yeah, animals know what to do, yo. Animals know what to do. Like it's just like, why are you fucking with me? Yeah, me and gorillas are smart. I think I'd do the gorillas and a hunter. But I think that would be the move. Good news.

Starting point is 01:17:28 Check it out. So we mentioned Chris is in Africa, but he still has access to the internet, and he shot us a quick tweet that he wanted to make sure was commented on. We've got a picture of Dom Capers at the podium. Obviously, Carolina Panthers coach, he's speaking of the changes since the franchise started in 1995 with a very interesting hair style.
Starting point is 01:17:56 Hair plug into the max, pretty much. What do you guys see in this image? Yeah, he got that burrs nest up there right now. Like, what? I love. Like, no one, no one probably said anything to him in the building, right? Like, I liked a picture that he just showed up with this. And, like, all the players, like, pass him in the hallways, like, kind of like double-taking, you know, and then just roasting the fuck out of him.
Starting point is 01:18:21 You know his, you know his significant other told him he looked amazing. Oh, you look great, honey. It really looks like he took Joe Lenardi's hair. I'm not saying Joe Lenardi has a plug or not, but it looks exactly Joe Leonardi. But why does it look like he has a clean shape up, though, with it. He's got that Lego hair. I mean, it's all plastered on. He glued that shit right on, and it's all staying in place.
Starting point is 01:18:44 It looks like Howard Coasell. Yeah. Yeah. He just needs to take that flight to Turkey, yo, and get the hair plugs. Turkey's like the area that I see everyone going, like, to get hair plugs. I think there was just like a, there was just a, like, a photo online going viral. It was just like, you see all the girls coming from Columbia or the D.R. are getting their bodies done.
Starting point is 01:19:06 Right, right. They'll be on the flight on their knees because they can't sit on their butt because they just got it done. And it's like, look at all these people flying. And there was just a picture of a bunch of guys with that tape on the back of their neck from getting the hair plugs, like the real hair plug surgery. And they're all coming from Turkey. And I was just like, if you can do that now, some of these guys, like, why don't you
Starting point is 01:19:25 just do that instead of this? Like the fake hair and like glue and the paint stuff is just like, You're like we're in 4K now. It's just like you can't get away with this stuff anymore. I mean, look at that hair line. That is just literally like straight across. Like whoever did it just drew a Sharpie line. It was like I'm cutting everything, everything on this.
Starting point is 01:19:50 What's the stuff called the black, the black guys be getting it? The spray like Carlos Boozer did it. Ben, wait. God, I can't think of it right now. But it's like a barber spray. And it looks like that's what he has on. there under there. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:05 It's just like what happens if you're in the lights doing the, if you do a interview for too long, you're going to start sweating that shit down your forehead. Right. Melting. Like that's what it feels like. I think Rudy Giuliani had that melting. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:21 Let it go. Let it go. That's all it is. I'm on a team issue with Carolina. Yeah. We've got a little draft replacements. Not that, again, not that were replacements out here. but best replacements in everyday life he can kind of make anything work we were creative here
Starting point is 01:20:38 we had a good bit of fun um we're going to go uh bow first Nate me Kingston great and uh four picks each four rounds uh snake draft no it's just too regular right straight up uh Beau Bo, you are on the board, on the clock. First pick, man, stressful.
Starting point is 01:21:03 All right. Replacements. I'm going, you know, I'm in my 30s. So, you know, going out,
Starting point is 01:21:14 it's a little tough. You're a little hungover sometimes. So I'm going replacing booze with weed. That's a great one. That is a real good one. First pick.
Starting point is 01:21:24 Something I, something I chose. to do a long time ago. A long time ago. And any time I dibble back into drinking, I realize that smoking is a way better replacement. That's a young, drinking is a young man's game. Yeah, it is. Nate, what you got?
Starting point is 01:21:42 Okay. So I am going with, because when I was younger, it always used to fool me. I am going with eggplant replacing chicken. So for like chicken palm and if you have a real good eggplant palm cook, I think it's a really good replacement. And if you're someone, if you're vegan or if you don't eat any type of meat or whatever it is, I think eggplant is a good replacement. It's not something that I would.
Starting point is 01:22:12 Probably a little healthier. Yeah, it's very healthy. But it's good in taste. Yeah. And I think for me, it's a real good. It's a good. And it's probably fun to cook. cook too right yeah yeah yeah also eat it on airplanes you know oh do you think that's
Starting point is 01:22:27 acceptable eggplant eggplants except any vegetables are acceptable on airplanes so if i just was fisting like holding a raw eggplant yeah biting into an eggplant next to you that is totally fine versus ribs i mean you might end up on a no fly list somehow but i think that's like i'd rather take eggplant guy over ribs guy Eggplane is a, yeah, I haven't had much eggplane, but that sounds like a good replacement. I'm going to go cash app as a replacement for your money transfers. Wow. We won't name what we're replacing, but everyone knows you need cash app.
Starting point is 01:23:10 You need to download cash app. It makes it way easier to transfer your money. You can even win some money from Greenlight. I like that. And cash app those awesome parties. So cash app is my replacement, my first. Wow. You see how quickly read Switch.
Starting point is 01:23:22 into like ad read mode right there that's pretty good i love it hey man we use our platforms kingston you're making me feel bad about my pick but uh i'm gonna go with um if you can't get laid masturbation that was definitely definitely on my list that was definitely on my list too this is a family podcast matt how dare you i mean hey that is a good replacement but actually is it nowadays, bro. There's better replacements than masturbation, bro. You can, you can, you can get one of those dolls. We had a doll in here.
Starting point is 01:24:02 I don't know where it went. Where did it go? One was delivered. Where did the other one go? Like the real dolls. Like the real silicon dolls. I wonder, so I know, I know Chris is really against, uh, uh, robots. I wonder if there's going to be a robot.
Starting point is 01:24:17 They have them already. Do they really? I think so. Oh, didn't we talk about it here? I think we talked about it here. Yeah. Yeah, there's robots, textiles. Bo.
Starting point is 01:24:25 You're up. Pick number two. This one's a little specific. So my truck's been in the shop for a long, long time up in Minnesota, which is frustrating. But I've been down here in Tampa, no car, and I've been driving my moped around everywhere. And it is amazing. So replacing your car with a moped. Nice.
Starting point is 01:24:44 Try it out a little bit. It's fun. It's flirty. You got your hair blown in the wind. See, that would be perfect for you. It rains a lot in Tampa. So what are you doing when it rains on that moped, bro? I got solutions.
Starting point is 01:24:56 I got in my little under my seat, you know, where like you're supposed to put a helmet. I got a wet bag and a big old raincoat, man. I'll pull over. It starts to rain. I pull over on the side, pop that bad boy open and throw him a little raincoat and go. That's not the issue of being on while you're driving. It's just like the other cars. Don't they kick up, they kick up like water on you, no?
Starting point is 01:25:19 Not really. I mean, I'm sticking to some back roads. Right. Yeah. You're not doing long trips. Give us your, what's your mobile? What are the specs on your moped? Do we have a nice suspension?
Starting point is 01:25:31 Two, 2016 Yamaha Zuma. Cherry Red. Nice. 49 cces. No, no motorcycle license needed. I'm cruising around on the thing and I love it.
Starting point is 01:25:43 What? I like to, I like to drive by like dudes on their hardcore motorcycle, motorcycles, Harleys and stuff, and give a little two-finger wave. they're always so confusing what the fuck is this guy doing?
Starting point is 01:25:53 You need to, if you haven't done it already you need to use one of your old football helmets as your actual helmet. You can take off the bar and maybe put like a one bar like the old school like 60s helmet but right around with you know like Eagles one bar. That one in the back you see that? Yeah, I'll take
Starting point is 01:26:09 that. Yeah. I'll cruise around my moped. Right. Cherry red. Or I mean cherry red the bucks, the bucks helmet might work pretty well. Yeah, color coordination on the moped. Bring it back. from college, use a Wisconsin helmet. Yeah, now we're talking.
Starting point is 01:26:22 There you go. All right, Nate, what you got? All right, I got, for my next replacement, I got Tom Brady replacing Drew Bledsoe. If that's not one of the greatest replacements, and then he has a chance, Tom Brady, to do it again. Because who is he going to replace?
Starting point is 01:26:42 Greg Olson. He's potentially going to replace Greg Olson. And if he does a great job there, because Greg's doing an awesome job. He's killing. If Tom Brady steps in and he's just automatically he's killing it with broadcasting, like he's just going to be like the ultimate,
Starting point is 01:27:02 like really the ultimate replacement if you think about it at all levels. Yeah. Everywhere he goes. Replace, replace, replace, replace, replace Drew Henson in college. Wow. Just can't stop. I've got, I'm going to go my number two pick.
Starting point is 01:27:18 I'm going to go. So I'm going to go, we're doing four. Yes, sir. I'm going to go Sierra Mist for Sprite. I hate that pick. I hate that pick. I, you know, I don't drink much soda. Do it if I need to stay awake or something.
Starting point is 01:27:34 But yeah, Sierra Miss, it's a way cooler name. You know, Sprite's a cool name, but like, Sierra Mist. You know what's knocking them out of the park right now? Starry. What is that? Look it up, a new lemon lime drink. And it's, in all it's proof. proven to me that Starry's getting more popular is that for sodas no matter what the equation is
Starting point is 01:27:56 you can't go wrong with limited line oh yeah not at all not like you really can't like whether it's more lime or more limit I don't know how they do it for Sprite or Sierra Miss but they're all pretty decent wow that's a cool can yeah no Starry is like they have they've been having like cool commercials and yeah and like good marketing but they think Sprite spright owns the Super Bowl commercial I think they did Yeah, I got to try that out. But honestly, Sprite, if you're going to go with Sprite, like, I can't lie. There's something about McDonald's Sprite.
Starting point is 01:28:28 Oh, you are not wrong. You are not wrong, dude. They put something into their Sprite man at all locations. It's not just their Sprite. It's their Coke, too. They put too much syrup there. The carbonation or something is, like, turned all the way up because you can take a small sip of their sodas. And it's like, you get that burp.
Starting point is 01:28:49 or that nose player. And it feels good. It feels refreshing. Oh, it's so good. And it's at all McDonald's everywhere. It doesn't matter where you are. Like other, you know,
Starting point is 01:28:59 their nuggets could be a little different. Their fries are a little different. The Sprite. Oh, man. The Sprite has that punch everywhere. You ever go to the restaurant and you like order a soda and the waitress will say, oh, we don't have Sprite. Is Sierra Mist okay?
Starting point is 01:29:11 That's one where I'll be like, I'll just take a water. I actually know a lot of people who do that. And then like, Um yeah for for a lot of people who drink Pepsi like won't drink Coke like either and I think that's funny
Starting point is 01:29:27 Yeah just straight I'll drink Pepsi But I don't like to drink it Right I'm up next I don't know if any of you guys Have been in the situation where you've got weed But you don't have a device to smoke it Have not done this in a long long time But you can use an apple
Starting point is 01:29:42 Sub an apple for a bowl Beautiful Probably gives a little flavor to it also right. Well, McGiver action. Yeah, the fun of making it, stabbing it with a pencil.
Starting point is 01:29:54 It's a good, like, hands on. You can still have your, you know, conversation while you're whittled in your apple, right?
Starting point is 01:29:59 And then you can eat it when you're done. Yeah. Perfect. It's not bad. Terrible. I like that. I like that.
Starting point is 01:30:04 I mean, you'd be such a terrible way to smoke. Uh, Bo. All right. So bear with me on this one. This is kind of a chain of events
Starting point is 01:30:13 in terms of replacements. So we all know that Blockbuster, you know, was, replaced by Netflix and streaming, right? So you got, but nowadays, there's too many streaming services. It's too diversified, okay? You got Netflix, you got Hulu, you got HBO Max, you got Apple TV, you got Amazon Prime,
Starting point is 01:30:30 you got Paramount, you got all this shit, right? So instead of doing that, I'm replacing that by just pirating all this fucking shit online. That's what we got, baby. Going backwards. I'm putting on my iPatch. I'm torrenting all these shows. All this media, you can get. You better be careful.
Starting point is 01:30:51 You can get whatever you need. You end up on a Pepsi commercial. You remember they gave when they started giving out free downloads and they had all the people who got caught for pirating? Yeah. Like there was like a Super Bowl commercial like that. They had like seven or six people. And I was just thinking about that.
Starting point is 01:31:06 Like how embarrassing it would be to fucking. You're sitting there. And boom, there's your name. Yep. Get in trouble. Like getting real trouble. Yeah. For downloading music.
Starting point is 01:31:18 You remember how all those piracy things, they went out, like, you go to the movie theaters. You're fair share. Yeah. You wouldn't steal a car. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's like the real sketchy. This is early 2000s, I think. You're sitting in the movie theaters.
Starting point is 01:31:31 And right before the previews, it's like, you wouldn't steal you. Piracy is illegal. But look, now let you think about it. Now that we're in, now that, like, we're kind of like in that industry, is just like, would you care if people if they found a way to bootleg the green light pod? Yeah, that'd be fucked. The show is free. So I wouldn't care. This is a bootleg pod right now.
Starting point is 01:31:53 Boy is Kristen here. For bootlegged. I made what you got for your third pick. All right. My third pick, I have another like real replacement. And it's going to be, Matt might like this. It's going to be John Stockton replacing Isaiah Thomas on the dream team.
Starting point is 01:32:15 Because Jordan and Pippen at that time did not like Isaiah Thomas. And so they got him out of there. I met the criteria to be selected, but I was not selected. He was so sad. Oh, he's so salty. But him and Jordan, like, just being competitors and being petty like they were, like for Jordan to do that, I think that, I think that's kind of funny.
Starting point is 01:32:41 But at the same time, Isaiah, like, that whole beef between the Jordan rules. Yeah, the Bulls in Detroit, like, they were really trying to hurt Jordan. So, like, I really don't blame them. Like, at the end of the day, like, I get the last laugh, and I don't want to be anywhere near you. And I don't want Hugh to get any of this shine when we create this amazing team that you're not going to be a part of. I'm going to go, number three,
Starting point is 01:33:13 I'm going to go Daphne Reed replacing Janet Hubert on the fresh print. of Bel Air as Vivian Banks. Oh, like, you like the second one? Yeah. Light skin on Viv for dark skin are Viv. So you like, wait, you like the set? You like dark skin on Viv? Or wait, it went dark skin to light skin.
Starting point is 01:33:34 Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Daphne Reed. Because, because no one liked Janet. Everyone on the show didn't like Janet. Like behind the scenes. She was like causing a lot of drama and all that stuff. Oh, no, but the first on Viv is the one that did that dance, right?
Starting point is 01:33:46 Mm-hmm. Yeah, bro. no, I'm not, I'm not rocking with that. That's a bad, that's a bad one. But hey, teach his own, man. That dance was iconic. And the second and Viv couldn't have did that. I'm a team first handbook.
Starting point is 01:34:00 But she, you know, right, she was, you know, more well-elected behind the scenes. I'm all about cohesiveness, you know, cohesion and, you know, everyone getting along behind the scenes to make the product better. I hear that. All right. I'm sure you guys probably have some books sitting around your house that you don't read as I do. you ever have a Zoom meeting using your books to elevate your computer
Starting point is 01:34:22 is a great replacement for like a laptop stand nice I like that that's practical yeah I think everyone's done that before for sure yeah yeah we've talked Chris through it a couple times my textbooks from college wrestling you didn't and they still haven't been opened man yeah exactly that made me think about that made me think about one I'm gonna give
Starting point is 01:34:44 oh I'm gonna give a replacement wait wait wait Hold on. It's a most turn. Yeah. How many more do we have? Last one. Last one. But we can hit some honorable mentions after.
Starting point is 01:34:55 Okay. Madge just made me think of a good one. All right. I got one here. So we all know your boy loves candy. Okay. You're sitting on your couch. You're deep in the couch.
Starting point is 01:35:08 You're watching some pirated flicks. And you're like, man, I could really use something. Should probably go on a snack run, but I don't want to get up. replacing the snack run with this app gopuff to die for huge big gopuff guy kind of begging gopuff for a sponsorship on the pod but great service people are running that shit over in like 30 minutes great candy selection
Starting point is 01:35:32 and they've kind of branched out into some other some other convenience store items too so gopuff over snack run I think I'm embarrassed how much money I spent on gopuff we did it what how many live streams in a row do we do it when Bo is in town we were just go puff go puff Go Puff. Amazing.
Starting point is 01:35:48 I'm not going to lie. And then now, like, they, um, you can get cigarettes and blunts on there now. It's like, it's like lights out for me. Like everything you need on there. It's just like, hey, I got to pay extra $1.50, $2 for some stuff. But hey, it's the convenience. If I don't have to get up and you're going to bring that rate to my door and then I get the, I love to just leave it and text me that it's at my door.
Starting point is 01:36:14 I love that feature. Don't knock on my door. No interaction. Like, don't call me. Just send a nice text and a picture. Like, hey, I left it. But don't leave it in the bushes. Don't leave it in the bushes.
Starting point is 01:36:25 Well, like, imagine, like, a world, like, 200 years ago. It's like, yeah, all you got to do is, you know, open up this device, click, like, three or four buttons in 30 seconds. And, you know, 30, 40 minutes later, someone will drop off whatever you need at your door. You don't have to move. Amazing. Okay.
Starting point is 01:36:43 So I'm rounding it up. My last pick. I'm going with pretty big people out there instead of bed risers using cinder blocks in college in college
Starting point is 01:37:00 I use four cinder blocks instead of using the bed risers so you can have room under your bed to have extra space but the cinder blocks are extra sturdy so like if you're if you're someone that you're doing a lot of motion on your bed
Starting point is 01:37:16 when you're a big guy you know you can you can break beds or beds can can be unstable and using four cinder blocks at the corners of your bed will keep everything stable it'll also give you a nice lift off the ground so you have some extra storage space under under your bed so replacing center blocks with bed risers so but doesn't that i don't i feel like i'd stub my toe to hell on those cinder blocks more on more than on bed risers. Maybe like, what are you doing?
Starting point is 01:37:47 You jumping into bed like a kid? No, I'm just walking around the bed. I'm walking around the bed. Stubbed my toe and a lot of shit. Like, like how close are you walking to your bed? Like, walking around your bed? Pretty close.
Starting point is 01:37:57 You know, it's on my shin. I feel like stubbing your toe like you do it anyway on your bed like here and there. So it's just like. Not if you, dude, this is how I do it. I just drop mattress straight on the floor. There's no room,
Starting point is 01:38:10 nothing under the bed. I mean, like you have the, yeah, mattress on top of the, the, box frame or whatever, but it's right on the floor. Nothing can get under, no monsters under your bed. They can't get in. You're a psychopath if you have your mattress straight on the floor.
Starting point is 01:38:24 Oh, I love it. You know that. Oh, I love it. I just want to let you know that. I don't doubt it, but like I just want to let you know, I would think about you a little bit differently if you just had your mattress straight on the bed. Here's another one that you might think me as a psychopath, uh, badeas for toilet paper, thousand percent.
Starting point is 01:38:41 You like that? You like that? You like that? I like that. Yeah, river butt. Yeah, it's a nice little wash. Yeah, super soaker. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:38:48 But it's a nice, it's a breezy super soaker. It just, it's like a fountain, like a nice soft fountain. Yeah, they have bidetes that'll even heat the water up. Yeah, man. It's a spa experience. It really is. And they're inexpensive. You can get little attachments for your toilet.
Starting point is 01:39:04 So why don't we get one for the, for the toilet here? We should get, we should install one before Chris gets back. Yeah. That would actually be hilarious. We should install one. We didn't crank the pressure way up for his. Make it automatic. I've never used, I've never used a bidet, and I don't think, like, I'm comfortable.
Starting point is 01:39:23 Like, so, like, people use a bidet and they just don't, like, they still don't wipe. No, you wipe after. You get the water off. Yeah, and you do, like, one sheet, you know, like, use the last toilet paper kind of thing. And it's just, like, it's all clean. It's a little cleaner. It's a little cleaner. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:39 I got the last pick of the draft day. one of my favorite characters of all time is Wolverine in X-Men it was originally cast as this guy Doug Ray Scott but I cannot imagine it as anybody other than Hugh Jackman it's a great replacement really yeah and he has owned that that uh character I feel like we could have gone down the the actor path a little bit yeah yeah yeah like
Starting point is 01:40:05 what's your what's your honorable mention oh I got a lot of honorable mentions You said Brad Pitt for who? And let me... Brad Pitt was supposed to be Neo in The Matrix. Yeah. Turned it down. Keanu Reeves got the role and, you know, I think he kind of killed it. So Ludacris, taking over for Jai Rule.
Starting point is 01:40:22 Jarl rule is in the first Fast and Furious. And it just happened to be when he was blowing up. So when they started recording the second one, the budget they had for Jarl rule wasn't enough for him to like to leave tour. And they put Ludacris in there and Ludacris has been in there ever since. and his character is like one of my favorite characters in that whole series. Oh, he's great. Like,
Starting point is 01:40:46 Ted Parker. Hands down. But Jai Ruhl was pretty funny in the first one. Menagee! When he's racist, he's pretty funny in the first one he's in it. But that was, that was a good replacement. The girls want to go see the pigs. We're going to see the fucking pigs.
Starting point is 01:41:02 One other, I had a couple other honorable mentions on a buzzer. Zinn for tobacco. That's a great one. Kind of easy. I don't like that. I also, I've been really trying to work this insult in lately, like replacing calling someone like an idiot or something like that, calling them a Muppet. I really like that. Calling someone a fucking Muppet, you fucking Muppet.
Starting point is 01:41:28 I'm a big fan of that one. Another one I have was substitute teacher over your actual teacher because you know they're not really trying to do shit. They're just phoning in for the day. So, like, you don't really have to do much in class. And then replacing, you know, wearing a condom instead of having a child. Seems like another good one for me. But those ones kind of got left out. Yeah, because you don't want to bring a baby on a plane.
Starting point is 01:41:54 What about the XFL replacing the NFL? We'll see how that goes. Talk to me in 10 weeks. Yeah. Matt, did you have any extras? Well, a couple. Like, if LG ever needs a replacement, Nate can fill in for him. pretty good.
Starting point is 01:42:10 I like that. You ever not have a mirror and you use the knife, like the side of the knife and you look at your face and the side of the knife? I need a fat knife, but yeah. You guys have fancy. You got fancy China at your house. I guess so. That was a good draft, guys. I liked it.
Starting point is 01:42:26 So let me run back through. So we had Nate had eggplant replacing chicken, Tom Brady replacing Drew Bledsoe, John Stockton, replacing Isaiah Thomas on the dream team, and cinder blocks for a bed frame. Cowboy had Cash Happens to the Cash C.R. Miss for Sprite, Aunt Viv in What the hell is the show?
Starting point is 01:42:46 Fresh Prince. And Bidaze for toilet paper. Kingston had Can't Get Laded for masturbation. Masturbation for King getting laid. Apple for a bull. Books as a laptop stand Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Boe went
