Starting point is 00:01:35 We'll have some content coming at you. Thursday night time machine. Saints 24, Cardinals 18. Oh. I'm a little bit relieved. Are you on the cards? Yeah, well, I thought you knew that I would be picking the Saints because of my over-win total.
Starting point is 00:02:31 We were just talking to Stanford Steve about how your pre-season predictions cloud you're thinking. Well, like, that might not be the case, but like wind totals do cloud my predictions. I'm going Saints. what did I say 26 what did it 27 24 or 28 20
Starting point is 00:02:48 what did I say read come on read what did he say what's in the box 27 23 27 23 Saints we're both on the Saints yeah but that's why you know that's why I'm relieved and the fact that I you know like chances are
Starting point is 00:03:04 this is a field goal game I feel that way you know like yeah the the Cardinals well first off tell me why you chose the Saints because I feel better knowing that you thought the same thing? I tried to be contrarian. The Cardinals are favored by two and a half.
Starting point is 00:03:24 They're at home. Newk Hopkins is back. Why not more, right? Right. I don't know. A couple of teams trying to find themselves. Saints might be down on themselves after giving away the game to the Bengals. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Dalton is fine. Camara is very good. Olave is very good. The defense has improved to like middling. And the Cardinals, I think the Cardinals floor is so gosh darn low. It's low. That they could lose Thursday night at home to a two and four team to become two and five themselves. And yeah, I think you play it 10 times Saints win six.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Couple things, call duty drops, or a new video game of some sort drops. Insert Kyler joke. Exactly. So like his mind is on getting back to his game room and the Saints are backed up against the wall. And this is, you know, it's not who you play. It's when you play them. That concludes Thursday night time machine that we could get freaky now.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Freak show. Freak Show Friday. Starts now. Plano, Texas. Hello. Why Plano? CJ's in Plano. He's a Packers fan and a loyal green light listener.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Scott out. Scott out. Yeah, shout out, Scott Out, Scotty Trail. That's right. One of our most loyal listeners, who's a big Packers fan. You know, he DM'd me the other day after I talked about my first memory on the Wednesday show, one of my first memories being my dad celebrating the Broncos win. He said that's funny because one of my first memories is my dad crying about that same Broncos win
Starting point is 00:05:05 because they beat the backers. You all were on the other side of that thing, dude. Wow. Absolutely. And so shout out to Scotty Trail. and and CJ and CJ and I think Scotty Trill Scottie Trill sent me this actually Tuesday this week
Starting point is 00:05:18 read this guy's name in the middle he was like y'all should definitely put him on our wall of names hehaka catches enemy wow yeah dude what position did he play D line yeah technically that checks out 6 3275 he's a freshman from Pine Ridge
Starting point is 00:05:38 South Dakota he went to red cloud little wound. Hehaka catches enemy. Yeah, all name team. Shout out to that guy. Let's do housekeeping, shall we? My gambling.
Starting point is 00:05:52 So you might have a problem. Like definitely a compulsion. And I do too. It takes one to no one. I looked at your win bet app this morning. Last night the NBA started. You know, I go dormant. Like after the NFL season,
Starting point is 00:06:04 I am not drawn to betting the NBA. I got so excited because it was the first full night. Okay. So everybody's talking about it. I go one unit on the Knicks under first quarter total, which was 28 and a half. Bang. They scored 23. Easy money.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Yeah. And then I read a tweet, oh, Miles Turner for the Pacers just happens to have a twisted ankle right before the game. They're trying to lose every game to get Crown Vic. Yeah. So I jump on the whiz, minus two and a half. You mean the Eiffel power forward? That's right. Bang, bang.
Starting point is 00:06:41 another winner, one unit. All right, so you're up two units. So throw another unit on a little bit of a parlay. Hawks and Hawks to win, gris to cover. Well, Desmond Bain, goddamn. If you're injured, get off the floor, please. You're a great player. But I can't have you out there being 10%.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Because that's 4.1 players. Can't be playing fucking hero ball. So he's throwing up these three pointers that are clanging, and they're not even clanging. They're hitting backboard and bouncing off and the Grizzlies won by three and not for the number. All right, whatever. So then to chase a little bit because I was
Starting point is 00:07:19 doing so well, Avalanche and Winnipeg Jets, they're tied three, three and the third. Well, the abs are at home and good. I'll take the abs to win the hockey game. But then there's like a hard right turn into like... Four units. Loss. Chinese basketball. All right. Well, Kingston says
Starting point is 00:07:35 Nuggets are clearly going to beat the jazz. They get boat race by the team all. also trying to lose every game by 21 points. That was a little nugget suns parley loser, one unit. So then I get into the 10 unit, Trailblazers Mavs parley, loser. Then I get into the 12 unit Kings Mavs Live Parlay. That's a loser. Then I get into the three unit Chinese basketball Fuji and SBS, Zunging,
Starting point is 00:08:03 which was down only eight in the fourth quarter. What time did you hammer Junjing? A little after midnight. and they were plus 575 like late third quarter they're down eight and the balance and the wind bed app is getting a little low
Starting point is 00:08:18 so throw it on a plus 575 they look like they're spunky they're spunky they lose by 31 okay all right and then we got to deposit more money into the account and then go harden the pain on some tennis which one two three four five six
Starting point is 00:08:36 seven matches we've wagered on today going 5-0-2 with some really hurtful cash-outs. But we're back to what we put in this morning. So long story short, down bad, hurt bad, but it could be a lot worse. Are you hurt or are you injured? You know, like, that's the question they ask the players. Yeah, I'm hurt.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Okay. You have a compulsion. You know we're watching the patient on Hulu. Yes. So many ads. So many Chevy Silveradoes. Didn't know that was part of the Hulu experience. Hulu has live sports,
Starting point is 00:09:13 but you're going to stop and hear about a fucking vacuum during the biggest play of the game. Yeah, you're right, and I think I would be in that garage, but as I've said, on the show. So anyways, the guy on the show, no spoilers, there's a serial killer, and one of the things he's going to try to do to avoid his compulsion is do something else.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Like, go do something, go get busy. So maybe when the entire slate's playing, on a weeknight in the NBA, go walk your dog. Hang out with the baby. The baby's probably asleep. Baby's asleep and it's like from 7 p.m. east to like 1 a.m. east. Call me.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Oh, okay. Just another six hours of conversing. Yep. All right. We did a little basketball from the other night, the people's two nights ago that gave us a number of storylines to talk about. We watched Pablo Baseball. Bencherro have a,
Starting point is 00:10:10 close enough. Close enough. That was close. No, well. Paulo Bencaro. Bencaro. Not Pablo Boncherro. I might start.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Pablo Bancherro. Hey, I fuck up names all the time. The only time I ever really laughed at Reed when, when he said something was the other day when he read LMAO out loud. You know how he reads it out loud? LMAO. No, he reads it LaMau. That's funny to me.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Yeah. La Mowalau. La Mow. Can I take that? Please. Okay. Take away. So, Palo.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Pablo. And you saw the Lakers and the Warriors play. We had a little bit of bench drama from that game. Also a little bit of bench drama from the Memphis Grizzlies game. Right. Where we saw Stephen Adams take a towel from a teammate and give it right to John Moran, who really didn't know what to do with it for a second. He just held his hand out there for a second.
Starting point is 00:11:08 out there for a second. The guy that got the towel taken from him. And everyone, the other teammates were just looking at Stephen. Like, what the heck is this? Stephen Adams reminds me of like a basketball Jason Kelsey. Honestly, like the way he carries himself a little bit. Except a lot bigger. Yeah, but bigger, taller. So you guys saw Palo when you went to the Duke game with Stanford Steve. I heard you watching some Orlando Magic highlights earlier. What did you think of them? Incredible. Like, I don't know what I'm looking at because I'm not like an NBA head, but
Starting point is 00:11:38 You know, they say 25 and 5, only him and LeBron have done that. 25, 5 and 5. Only him and LeBron over the last 20 years have done that. And, you know, it wasn't just that dunk, which is, like, definitely going to be one of the top 10 dunk all year, probably. You saw it the first night of the season. I mean, it was also like he got the ball stripped off him, and it's a chase down block. It's, you know, like, he looks more athletic playing in the NBA. Yeah, like, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:12:06 Same thing with Tatum. something about that Duke system that limits like hyper athletic guys with the exception of Zion and maybe the spacing of like the NBA relative to college hoops or something but like that was the first thing I noticed yesterday there was so much space for him to operate inside and get to the hole and he's got like he's 19 but he's 19 freaking strong man like he looks like he's NBA ready body wise already he's 19 dude I was in high school at 19 they did lose to the Pistons. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:39 But two fun teams, Paolo, Franz Wagner, Pistons got Cade and Jaden Suggs is on that Orlando team. Yeah, and Ivy looked good too, right? Yep. I mean, so like, lost in the shuffle, as a few of the rookies look good last night. That's the game I focused on most last night.
Starting point is 00:12:53 And I love what the Pistons are doing, basically playing Cade and Jaden as like dual point guards essentially. Cade had 10 assists. If you can play your two guards and have them both be big like that, like there's a lot of potential there. So I think this is the perfect time
Starting point is 00:13:07 to go back to the Penn pennies full time. Go back to the shack and the penny uniforms full time. Because you can't have a young core like this. This could be one of the most marketable teams in the league. Like you are leaving dollars on the table selling that poo poo apparel. Dude. It's a small market team.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Lean into the cool factor. You got a young core. You got cool uniforms. Just make the call. It really is mind-blowing. I'd like to think in the 90s we weren't smart enough to think, hey, these will look good forever or in 30 years. But golly day is it obvious to us now. And there's obviously no rules about going back to the future because these NBA teams have 55 different
Starting point is 00:13:54 uniforms as evidenced by the Celtics on opening night. Yeah, what was that? What's the dark green? Forest, forest green. They're forest green. I don't know what that was. Yeah. I don't, I don't either. One thing that stuck out to me in the NBA was the Dramon documentary. What is that? I was looking it on YouTube last night. You know, all this smart TV shit and all these. Feature for T&T. He's got that agreement with them as an announcer. But it was like Omaha productions. Yeah. House of Highlights. The best question was your question. What was that? What was it? Because, like, listen, I'm a Draymond fan and everything,
Starting point is 00:14:38 and everything that follows this is usually going to be negative. But, and I'm, like, listen, I've been, I've been on the wrong side of fights that I was embarrassed about in sports. Like, I've done things. Like, let me just not cast the first stone. I can remember in college, there was this freshman that I took a, you know, like kind of like took him under my wing, and this offensive lineman was punking him after the play in one-on-ones.
Starting point is 00:14:59 And I swear to you, I ran like 20 yards, decleted the linemen, and I stepped on him. Like, you know, like literally, got on top of him and there was a cleat mark on his chest and his parents came down for alumni or for parents weekend and we were roommates here's the worst part so we're sitting on the porch drinking a 40 on Sunday you know after the game and uh his mom's like what's that you know like so I've been on the wrong side of this thing I've been wrong before I know what it feels like and draymond was wrong it sounds like I mean I mean it looked like on the video right like what could
Starting point is 00:15:30 he have possibly said to warrant that kind of reaction unless somebody's talking about your family or your kids or you know uh something that i can't even fathom like you don't react that way he apologized like i have no problem moving on like him and jordan pool his teammates that might never be the same but then i saw him talking about it in this feature and i like the b-roll look like something happened to draymond and his family bro you know what i mean he's like he's he's kissing his kids yeah and there's no um and he doesn't actually tell us why It's propaganda, but it's not even like effective propaganda, you know? Unless once again, the point is for us to talk about him because he's...
Starting point is 00:16:12 But ultimately he's making money off this fight. You know what I mean? That's not what he's trying to do. But like ultimately, if he profits off that, if I'm Jordan Poole, I'm just telling you I don't feel great about seeing that. You know what I mean? But if you want to talk about money, it might have convinced Golden State to eventually move on from Dremont.
Starting point is 00:16:29 They have to be frustrated at this point with all of the various antics, like him not being able to control his emotions in 2016 costing the title when he kicked LeBron and the balls. So them paying Jordan Poole that 140 million guaranteed and paying Andrew Wiggins, the 109 million guaranteed means that they'll likely have to move on from Dremont after this season. And coincidentally, Jordan Poole getting punched in the face might have made it easier for them to commit to him. And I want to say this. Like sometimes, oftentimes you don't know what, when you sit down and talk to a camera as an athlete or somebody who's doing your own stuff depending on how like in the trenches you are on production like he might have done a sit down
Starting point is 00:17:08 interview and didn't produce it to come out that way you know what i mean like they just use some b-roll you know they changed the filter they made it real moody and like introspective um like ultimately i'm given benefit of doubt on that but the way it appears it's not great and then like they're playing the lakers right and he runs over and daps up lebron or vice versa and iggy's in the background playing the skin flute with two hands, the air skin flute. And he's basically, I think. He's mocking Dre. He's mocking Dre.
Starting point is 00:17:40 No doubt. He's mocking Dre because Dre called LeBron over and he's like mocking Dre for being all over LeBron. But speaking of the Lakers, they got some problems. Oh my God, the first night, I'm not even watching their games, but you know like Lakers fans, like if there was a sport that was adjacent to sport and it was like watching a fan base, Like my favorite watching a fan-based sport is watching Lakers fans. Like they are just out of control, dude.
Starting point is 00:18:08 It's the first game. And I'm seeing, you know, the trending topics with the Lakers are, number one, Russell Westbrook pulled his hamstring because he came off the bench. And he's kind of like, you know, I don't like this plan. This is what happens when I'm not used to sitting. Which in football, it's interesting. In football, you know, there is that, like, when I was a vet and I wasn't starting games anymore and I wasn't playing 60 plays anymore.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Now I'm playing 25 or 30. Like, you do get cold. You know, your old body does break down because you got to sit still. So, you know, like I was asking you about that and you don't think that's the case. It's not as big a deal as in football. There is a little bit of an element,
Starting point is 00:18:44 especially probably with the older guys that are coming off the bench, but it's sometimes hard to stay in, like, really good condition if you're only playing a couple minutes a game, but that's usually on you to do on your own. But LeBron was complaining after the game about not having enough shooting.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Did you see that? Bro, isn't he like the GM? La GM. Isn't he the GM though? La Mao. Isn't he the GM though? Yeah, basically. I mean, and also.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Three for 10 from deep. Also, he did? Yeah. Also, like, it's early in the year to be like lamenting your setup. I mean, like, you know, I know in the NBA, everything is calculated and there is a game within the game about like getting information out and whatever. But like, you're the GM, man, aren't you? He wants to be.
Starting point is 00:19:28 I mean, he'll be a team owner eventually. And how do you feel if you're, I mean, obviously, your teammates with LeBron, so you're happy at the end of the day. But if you're a teammate at his, you're kind of like, what the fuck? Yeah, but look what I got on the screen right here. Like, they really do have terrible spacing. Everybody's packing the pain against LeBron. There's just no shooting on the outside.
Starting point is 00:19:48 No, you're right. They stink. I think LeBron is trying to get this trade done sooner than later because he's worried that if they don't do it soon enough, trade though get westbrook plus send westbrook to indiana plus your 2027 2029 first round pick get back buddy healed one of the best shoes in the league's made the most threes over the past three seasons maybe get back miles turn or something like that got awesome seven seed yeah and and also uh russell westbrook does he rent in l. like definitely rents right he rented as soon as
Starting point is 00:20:21 I would think so. And he famously doesn't get along very well with Patrick Beverly, who made news himself this week. Oh, for the lineup thing. Yeah, he leaked the starting lineup. Yeah, how pissed off would Siriani be if Jason Kelsey leaked like some lineup thing? Yeah, it'd be a bad deal.
Starting point is 00:20:41 You know, and injuries in football are a bigger deal, so you're like a little bit more queued in on who's playing. And, you know, that's the, you know, what are people's statuses right up until game time? Great. The best moments in a sports fan's life are in football season. I'm not talking about September. I'm not talking about the first week in October.
Starting point is 00:21:00 I'm not even talking about the second week in October. I'm talking about when it gets colder. The temperature drops. The games get bigger. The hits get harder. And you can curl up and watch some meaningful football. I like to do it with a Miller light from the fridge and a cold frosty mug from the freezer. Frosty mug meat.
Starting point is 00:21:20 A cold, beautiful can of Miller light from my fridge. That's teamwork. We come together. We can make a great play out there. And the best play to make on a Sunday is a nice cold Miller Light and a frosty mug at home. That's my favorite thing. Maybe a fire in the fireplace. Yeah, now we're talking.
Starting point is 00:21:36 But Miller Light, it's an original and it's more than that. It's been a fan favorite since 1975. The best part, no matter how your team plays, Miller Light is always a winner. The perfect beer for Sundays, I gave you the hot tip. Having that frosty mug is a lot like having home field advantage. I mean, like, it just makes everything better for your boy and your boy's friends who file in every Sunday to enjoy cold, ice cold, Miller Light at my house. I mean, we have a lot of people over, and I've got to have the Miller Light stocked up.
Starting point is 00:22:11 A lot of light beer cuts back on the most crucial ingredient flavor, which is 96 calories and 3.2 carbs for 12-ounce serving. Miller Light, quick on its feet, heavy hitting on flavor. No wonder it's been MVP from day one. This football season, enjoy the sweet taste of victory with Miller Light, the original light beer. Find it pretty much anywhere beer is sold. Go to Miller Lite.com slash Greenlight for delivery options near you.
Starting point is 00:22:38 It's Miller time. Celebrate responsibly. Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. Here's another NBA tie-in. Bill Walton was seen the other night. Oh, he was seen. And he wasn't letting people see behind him. I could not focus on the game,
Starting point is 00:23:01 not people in front of them. I couldn't focus on that damn baseball game, man. He was on the baseball broadcast sitting right behind home plate, had two or three people behind him who could not see. Meg was trying to ask me questions, like about something, and as she might do sometimes. And she was a nerve. What are you laughing about?
Starting point is 00:23:21 Not like that, but like, what's so funny? And I'm like, Bill Halton, I just can't stop looking at him. Like, I can't focus on the pitch. Doc Ellis would be tripping balls if Bill Walton was behind home plate. He wouldn't have thrown a no-hitter on acid. He would have walked off the field to hang out with Bill Walton. That guy's a factory of fun. His smile is just infectious.
Starting point is 00:23:44 You as a tall person, if you're in a crowd, are you cognizant of people behind you? Yes. Maximally. Ditto. Yes. You sit down. That was a little humble brag.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Congrats on the height. I'm glad you brought it up. Yeah, you sit down as soon as is. Humanly possible. Humanly possible. If there's a stand-up moment, everybody's standing up, you're like the first to sick because you don't want to block anybody's view. Bill, poor guy.
Starting point is 00:24:14 I mean, what do you want him to do? Slouch. He's got a bad back. Yeah, he can't do it. He can't do it. But he also should be allowed to sit behind home plate. He's got to be one of the most distracting, like, court side, field side sitters in the history of the game.
Starting point is 00:24:29 I mean, think about it. It's the NLCS. You have Bill Walton behind the plate. Every pitch that's thrown is, you got to factor in Bill Walton. Like when Jack Nicholas is, or is it Nicholson. I just get those two mixed up. Nicholson's at the Lakers, Nicholas is.
Starting point is 00:24:49 When the guy from the Shining's at the Lakers game, you're not staring at him as the ball handler the whole time. It's a tall-ass Bill Walton, he can affect the outcome of the ball game. So we're going up to the Yankee Stadium this weekend. To see the Yankees? The Yankees? The New York Yankees?
Starting point is 00:25:11 Yeah, I'm doing a little oppo research on the, you know, the Phillies possible World Series matchup. That's all, that's the only reason I'm going up there. Also, uh, producer Scott, corporate Greg.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Yeah. Said, uh, he's got a bunch of tickets. So, you know, he said like, let's take a team trip, a field trip.
Starting point is 00:25:33 So naturally, you are not going. I'm not going to go. Okay. Yeah. Lovely wife said, nah. Now,
Starting point is 00:25:42 you say that. I never said that. No, no. I know. So what is it? It's just the general, the effort of the trip, the fun. A little bit.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Yeah. I mean, well, let's be, let's get real. Let's talk it out. Because I've had a friend and kind of you too to a degree. Just being like, hey, just, just keep an eye on this as in like you not leaving your house ever again. Like just be aware of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you know, it's, it's, we can, you know, make fun as we should.
Starting point is 00:26:17 but there is just nothing I can think of that's better than staying home. Good, because if you just said your lovely wife said you couldn't go, I was going to call you on your BS because I texted your lovely wife to be like, hey, have you heard about Saturday night? Like any, and she was like, yeah, the green light trip that he's, quote, contacted my wife? I did. How did you get her number?
Starting point is 00:26:44 I've had it for a while. You have my wife's number. So you got that right. Yeah. So, so. Okay. All right. She said and she said, yeah, I didn't know it was a Yankees game.
Starting point is 00:26:59 I didn't know it was a Yankees game. That's all true. Yeah. Okay. So you didn't even ask. I mentioned that y'all were going. Yeah. It wasn't like a, hey, can I go?
Starting point is 00:27:14 Yeah. Because with all due respect. I don't want to go. Okay. That's, that's, and, and like,
Starting point is 00:27:22 I, and I feel a little bad because, look, it's, it's, uh, an ALCS game. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:29 With some of my best buddies and the greatest city in the world, the city sucks, but the greatest city in the world. I had three gins at the wedding. Yeah. And woke up just not feeling great. Like I think I'm just retired from fun. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:27:46 on et cetera. I found a replacement friend. You know who it is? Well, first off, we got the guys going up, but I hit up Tommy Alter. Nice. To bury the hatchet from his bullshit chain of communication on fantasy football.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Famously, he asked me to join a league. He said it was 11 o'clock, was the draft. You know, all of a sudden, a week later, he gets changed to 1045, and he doesn't text me. He says, when I log into the draft and it's already started and I'm in the third round. You should have checked your email.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Well, he told me over text, the draft is at 11, right? So it changed 1045 is a big thing about it. And here's an update we've all been waiting for. What's your record? No idea. I haven't logged in anymore. Also, good luck getting my money. So Tommy, I'm thinking like, let me, let me eat a little olive branch here.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Pinchitter, baseball. I texted him. I texted him on Wednesday, yesterday. and I said, hey, do you want to go to the Yankees game? The Yankees game. The Yankees. And he said, for sure, would I be with you? I said, yeah, do you want a ticket?
Starting point is 00:28:57 He said, yeah. I said, we have a couple green light guys going up. He said, cool, down for sure. Then yesterday at 5.30. You want me to meet you there later? I should be there right around 7.30. I said, the game, isn't it at 5? He goes 737.
Starting point is 00:29:15 I said, fuck. Really? Wait, I thought the game was at five. It is at five. He thought, he thought the Yankees were playing at home. The Yankees were playing in Houston.
Starting point is 00:29:28 So he's, he's thinking I'm inviting him to game one in Houston. He thought I texted him four hours before a Yankees game in Houston. That is funny. So I said, I said, I'm talking Saturday night.
Starting point is 00:29:42 He said, I said, sorry to be cryptic. I mean, here I am apologizing for something. I shouldn't. He said, wait, what? I said, yeah, bro. We're coming this weekend. Greenlight team. Boy, am I glad you texted me?
Starting point is 00:29:53 He goes, L.O.L. Oh, the game is in Houston. So I don't think the problem is me. I think the problem is Tommy Alter. I think the problem is Tommy Alter. Maybe to send a message, you should have sent him to the Bronx, a couple four nights early.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Oh, they're fucking so funny. He just pulls up to an empty stadium. in an Uber black. I heard parking is a lot. Obviously, huge Yankees fan. I cannot wait till Saturday. He was like,
Starting point is 00:30:20 yeah, man, I love the Yankees. I love the Yankees. You should see this home run hitter we got. But Tommy is Tommy's schedule still open for Saturday? Yeah, he's going to join us Saturday.
Starting point is 00:30:33 So just not a lot going on for TIA. All right. And by the way, it's big man weather up there. The low of 44, high of 66. that game got, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:43 Guardians game got postponed earlier in the week. You saw that big rain delay thing. You have a take on what the MLB should do in a situation like that because I get the fact that you don't want to start the game and then stop because you burn pitchers and that sort of thing.
Starting point is 00:30:55 But for a lot of the fans... I want that. I want started as late as, as possible. Interruptions galore. You're going to have to have positional players throwing. I love all that.
Starting point is 00:31:07 You like the chaos. Yeah. Corporate Greg wouldn't like it. much because he does post game podcast. But start that bitch at, excuse me, start that game at 1.30 in the morning. Well, I think, honestly, as I was thinking about it, on face value, it sounds like it sucks because right, like the next game got rescheduled to 4 o'clock the next day. But say you, say you don't have a job or say like you can get out of your job and go
Starting point is 00:31:29 to the 4 o'clock. If you were a guy, what did you do when you got to that game on, on your night one? You sat there in the rain and you got drunk with your friends. So, oh, shucks. Like, I gotta be shit-faced tonight. And then, like, I gotta get home. And as long as my wife's not like a serial killer, she's gonna let me still go to the ball game
Starting point is 00:31:48 that I paid good money to go see. I'm like, oh, man, accidentally got really drunk, but the game's happening again tomorrow. Like, you get two days with your buddies because of the rain out. So I actually think it's not the worst thing in the world if you're heading to that game and you got the time.
Starting point is 00:32:02 You're right. There probably are a few dozen stories of, of, people with kids who flew in one night only. They had to leave the next day early. It'll stink for those few. But yeah. You might want to sit down when I tell you those people.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Rain exists. Yeah. Yep. It's a chance to take. And luckily for you, Yankees fans, the guardians trotted out that Aaron Savali the next day. And he got hit up pretty.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Yankees-wise, we were doing the baby rock thing in a big group picture. And a real baby in the picture. Do you think there's a scarier coach to go up against than Bill Belichick when he praises your club? It's the worst. When Bill Belichick compliments you, it's over. Means you suck. Yeah, it means you suck. How many points are the Patriots going to win by?
Starting point is 00:32:54 More than eight and a half. We should have gave that out. Yeah. Yikes. Yeah. So I was thinking yesterday we could write like glowing endorsements for things we hate. He,
Starting point is 00:33:07 from the Lou Holt school of praising crappy teams. Deliuchick went on a seven-minute rant. So praise your crappy team. Praising the bears. I was going to do the DMV because I was just had the DMV. Okay, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:33:17 I'm going to try to it as Belichick, but I should have listened to Bill talk before, before I attempted this. The DMV, partitions, you feel safe. Automated systems are really impressive,
Starting point is 00:33:33 really impressive how they spit out alpha numerical codes. I reference your place in line. They've been doing it a long time. We have a lot of respect for them. They're helpful, knowledgeable people. They're all business license plates, registrations, driver's licenses. They do it all.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Kind of a southern bell, Bella check. They'll be around a long time, you know, after you and I are gone, really impressive outfit, you'll hear people say this and that about their experiences. Okay, well, that's more a reflection of those persons than the DMV itself, which is a first-rate organization that goes out there. and gets results. You can't drive a car without a license. You can't drive a car without a license.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Or, you know, a lot of roads. There were too many roads in this country. Dwight Eisenhower made the highway system here in America that allowed for cars on roads. Well, you can drive a car without a license. You got to go to DMV. Not even close to Bill Belichick. Three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Woody Harrelson is a pretty good actor. You know, you got three billboards outside of that. Can we catch your reactions on a few things? Yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so Jonah Hill is going to star as John Daly. Is this appropriate casting? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Looks great. That's very good. But I think Jonah Hill's a sexy man. So what's he doing playing this sack of bones? I think John Daly is a sexy man. I've actually heard he's very successful with women. I'm just joking. John Daly's said at least once or twice that he has a big hog.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Is that a real tattoo on Jonah Hill's check? A chest? Is that like the Nina or the penta? Santa Maria? Nice. I'm gonna choose to believe that's a real tattoo on John. So there's a problem in Colombia. Pablo Escobar's hippos have been running wild for a couple decades and are now, the population's
Starting point is 00:35:26 control, so they're trying to castrate Pablo Escobar's hippos. So this would have been what Tom Brady could have referenced. Tom Brady should have been like, when I go play football, I feel like I'm tasked with castrating one of, one of Pablo Escobar's hippos. That would run a lot safer. Nobody would have gotten offended. Yeah, more apt. How does one do this?
Starting point is 00:35:46 Like with a bow and arrow? I don't think, yeah. I don't think they're rolling up. You're like, easy pepper. No, I think they're darting. I think they're darting these pack of terms and then they're. Oh, that's smart. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:36:01 I'd be out there with a bow and arrow. Staying in animal news, the British police, you know, making you watch a lot of British TV shows. Yeah, yeah. I subscribe to Britbox. There's now a semen sniffing dog brought in by the Cheshire police. How do you think they train this thing?
Starting point is 00:36:18 Come, come, come. That's good, Chris. Yeah, honestly, if you have a teenager and you want them to stop what they're doing in their room, like get one of these dogs. Yeah. Just unleash them. You don't need a black light.
Starting point is 00:36:32 And they have these banks, right? Yeah, that's right. And then they just get the dogs to smell stuff and then they're just bad. Dogs just coming down the stairs, wagging its tail with a sock in its mouth. Yeah, I think we figured that one out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:48 All right, last one. Our old friend. That's rough. Ricky Gervais. Ricky Gervi. You can only keep three. Bottled water, hairdriers, stretching, taxis, social media,
Starting point is 00:37:03 lying, potatoes, sunblock, parties, sitting down, gossiping, umbrella, radio condiments. You can only keep three. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Okay. So I never use a hair dryer. All who are listening, just stop on the three alike. I'm going to go through it one more time. Is that okay? That's fine. Give you some time to think.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Bottled water, hair dryers, stretching, taxis, social media, lying, potatoes, sunblock,
Starting point is 00:37:36 parties, sitting down, gossiping, umbrellas, radio condiments. Damn, I love bottle of water, but I can get by with the tap. We don't need bottle water. I love stretching and we'll be keeping stretching. I think we need to keep stretching. Hairdrivers, I don't use them. Taxis, obsolete.
Starting point is 00:37:57 It's just Uber. Social media would love for that to go. Yeah, I can go away. Lying? I don't need lying. I need lying. Honestly is the best policy. You've never lied.
Starting point is 00:38:05 No, lying never works well for you. I'm sure I'd lie. my fair share, but I do, I do, like my dad's big, big honesty. There was no lying somebody could be like, what are you doing tomorrow at two o'clock? And you'd have to be like, uh, whatever you want, I guess. Well, we had a conversation a little bit before the pod where we just were, we tried to be as honest as possible and it went well.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Yeah, but we're like good friends, dude. You know, then you gotta tell strangers the fucking truth all the time. I mean, when somebody says like, how are you doing to me? I have no problem being like, four out of ten not a great death wife's like how do i look she doesn't ask that no i know but like you know the outfit's not great or something you got like the movie liar liar i guess it could present some problems okay we'll come back to that one
Starting point is 00:38:52 potatoes i don't think i need them i'm irish but you're the food guy yeah don't choose radio because all those suckers that listen to radio would probably have to find a podcast yeah yeah you're right condiments um radio though radio though The tomatoes can go. The truckers on the interstate. If potatoes are going, we barely need condiments. Gossiping, sitting down. You know what I'm going to keep?
Starting point is 00:39:15 I'm going to keep stretching. I'm going to keep. I think sunblock's kind of important. Yeah. Cancer. Sunblock, stretching, and I'll keep. Who keeps an umbrella, dude? Fuck out of here.
Starting point is 00:39:35 I'll keep lying. So you're not sitting down the rest of your life. You do this podcast standing up. No problem. This chair is uncomfortable. I'm going to, short your hip flexors, dude. I'm going stretching,

Starting point is 00:42:38 smorgasbored mailbag around the world retweet a reply so alaska's snow crab season has been canceled for the first time because in an estimated one billion crabs have totally disappeared and facts you had a good theory on this you uh was that a was that a video you took or did you find that video of the crab being fried live at the uh habachi grill i i found it online and after I seen that video I quickly thought about this article and how a billion crabs just went missing and after seeing how cruel that video was and with the voiceover of the that's obviously a Alaskan king crab like it had to be but I've never seen a habachi setting where they light a crab alive alive I think in some of
Starting point is 00:43:38 of these um but even when you cook crabs anyway just in general you have to cook them while they're alive like and put them in the pot you know what why don't we go to alaska a state i've never been to and you can take me and we can find the crabs i would love to go yep so i'm a bugger let to go to alaska my dad attended college there played college basketball at university of anchorage alaska and we were just talking about this your dad locked down sam buoy yeah he played against Sam Bowie in the first Great Alaskan shootout, which his college hosted. It's still a tournament that they're actually. For sure it's not called the Great Alaskan shootout anymore.
Starting point is 00:44:15 You can't say that. Quick, name the best basketball player ever from Alaska. Al Collins. Carlos Boozer. Or Chalmers, right? Isn't he from Alaska? Yeah. But Carlos Boozer.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Carlos Boozer had a long, illustrious career and made fun of the St. Louis Rams right in front of me. And has a son who's like the top prospect in 2020. 24 or something like that's dope is he out of Alaska I don't think no probably I don't think Carlos was like yeah but hang it up and go back to Anchorage I mean Anchorage might be dope you didn't think I was going to get that did you I didn't know yeah I'm full of weird facts dude it's like a snapple fact Carlos Boozer's from Alaska all right name another Duke player from Alaska a Duke player from Alaska do what I did there oh
Starting point is 00:45:01 three point specialist is Kyle Singler from Alaska a good old Trajan Langdon. Langdon's from Alaska. Yes, sir. Fuck, I like this basketball trivia. Keep it going. You know Dave McClure went to high school down the street from me?
Starting point is 00:45:15 I didn't know that. He went to Duke also. I got some, and what's the Mice Chiceicevsky sat next to me in the gym waiting to watch Dave McClure play because my sister went to the same high school and the girls varsity
Starting point is 00:45:26 used to play before the guys varsity. Yeah. So I was sitting there watching my sister play. Yeah, watching my sister play. and throw a side door, Mysius S. F. She comes and sits, like, right behind me. No way.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Yeah, waiting for the next game to watch. Craig Alstree, Dave McClure, and there's maybe one more prospect on their team. But, yeah. Oh, that's cool. Crazy. That's cool. Jim Beheim walked past me in an airport.
Starting point is 00:45:56 He just didn't seem like the type of guy you stopped and talk to. I took a piss next to Lefty-Drizell one time. I took a piss next to Michael Phelps. Yo, chill out. Swear to God. No way. Promise you.
Starting point is 00:46:09 What? Like, where at? Fasties. Oh, yeah, I was just like to say. Yeah, we were talking to the bathroom. I stopped talking to piss because you don't want to be talking to motherfuckers when they're pissing. Code break. That's a big code break.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Well, no, if you know somebody and you're pissing next to them at the urinal and you're, I'm a big leaner. I lean on the wall. Oh, oh, oh, I thought you meant lean on a person. No, no, no. I was like, what the hell? Wait, so you put your hand up on the wall. the wall. I put my elbow on the wall. Especially if I'm drunk, the whole arm
Starting point is 00:46:38 is going to go on the wall. The tall person thing, I guess. I guess so, yeah. But yeah, I stopped talking, thank God. I kind of nailed that interaction there. I'm pretty good at bathroom celebrity interactions. Helps a good poker player. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:54 A good swimmer, too. You don't know that? Better than average. Yeah. Great swimmer. He's a big bong guy. Yeah. That reaction to that was bullshit, by the way.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Everybody went crazy when they saw him hitting a bong one time. It's like he just won 12 freaking gold medals. It is a really negative stigma. Yeah. You know, like even now, you know, I can do a podcast high. I can do a lot of things high, right? Yeah. If I was in here drunk, do you know how fucked up I'd sound?
Starting point is 00:47:26 Yeah. Like really fucked up. And the podcast might, people might love it. And we should do a podcast drunk. But like people really do. People make such a big deal about it. It's like what's the difference between a bar grip and versus a shot like of like strong liquor? Like it's no different.
Starting point is 00:47:42 The next day there is a difference. Oh yeah. But otherwise, yeah, I mean, it's like poison, right? Like why do people like, but the optics of a shot is nothing. It's especially athletes. But still like athletes, think about it. After we, after we win, I don't know. It's just weird.
Starting point is 00:47:58 And people don't, they don't complain about the kids smoking cigars. like what's the difference tobacco's tobacco's worse than all cars are mid but still it's just like yo like if you if like what's the optics like what's bothering you
Starting point is 00:48:11 is it to smoke like no it's just it's um it's this stigma that everybody that smokes pot is fucking crazy dude that everybody that smokes pot is is just like a caricature of um somebody in in um
Starting point is 00:48:26 what's the what's the movie with Dave Chappelle but pouring alcohol all over each other isn't crazy. But pouring alcohol all over each other to celebrate a victory isn't crazy. Right. No, of course it is.
Starting point is 00:48:39 But you know, like hot boxing a locker and would be a funny way to celebrate a victory. Wouldn't that be funny as fuck? Dude's got like gas masks on instead of goggles. That'd be awesome. That would be awesome.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Yeah, that would be so cool. Super Bowl 100. Right. Yeah. Coming soon. We tried to spray each other after the Super Bowl. I've told this story a bunch,
Starting point is 00:49:00 but we got Andre at CVS right before the game. Me and Alan Branch and Jabal Sheard. So like, I'll tell it again. Have you heard this? No, I haven't. Reed, you can act like you haven't heard it. So it's fucking, it's like buzzing with people, you know, around these hotels, man.
Starting point is 00:49:19 There's people getting their tickets like, you know, noon of the game, noon of the day of the game. People are running back and forth. There's a Walgreens right next to us. And we had joked about how we wanted to do a base. ball thing after the you know like because that looks cool as fuck and they used to do it in the 90s more I feel like what's that like football players spraying champagne oh yeah yeah something stopped somewhere along line or did it yeah probably a response to all those champagne cork bottle deaths
Starting point is 00:49:47 or cork dusts who who died a lot of people stop I swear stop there's a lot of people have died or lost eyes and dumb and dumb from champagne cork popping yeah well I mean hey listen it's not the champagne bottle that kills people every year around 24 people die as a result of champagne corks china billionaire killed by champagne bottle cork how ruined was that party not to make light of it
Starting point is 00:50:19 I do feel bad for them but that is an ironic imagine that like if it's the start of the party and it's just like you pop god does not care dude he does not care if God's deciding these things He does not care at all. Oh, no. If it's your time, it's your time. You think you're a billionaire, you're invincible.
Starting point is 00:50:34 You have people. You're like, you're at, you got servants that blood let for you. You got fucking security. You drive in an armored car. Cork. You live in a 10,000 square foot Evander Holyfield Mansion. You die by Cork. It's incredible, dude.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Life is just, it does not fucking discriminate. It's amazing. It's amazing. But the story is that we were, we were nervous because we, we didn't have. have any champagne so we had to go fight through a crowd get with our bags like our Super bowl bags stuff those fuckers through a you know uh full of andre we got to the the stadium we won we sprayed them they come out like you have like you know like it's not it's not like in the movies yeah so they didn't have like prep people doing that for you like the equipment dudes no we forgot
Starting point is 00:51:22 we were we were look at me trying to prepare to do a podcast okay now imagine me trying to prepare to do a Super Bowl. You think like I'm gonna have the Andre ready, dude? No, I don't think you would. That's why I'm surprised like somebody else doesn't have it ready for you. We got there. We, we were like, dude, as soon as you get on that bus. This is Philly, right? No, this is New England. Oh, yeah. So I had never won one before. Hell no, Bill. Bill Belichick's not letting them prep no. No, yeah, exactly. He's not letting you prep like stuff. Roger that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wouldn't he have been pissed at you if he found out you bought? champagne before the game. No, no, because we won.
Starting point is 00:52:01 But if we lost, sure, but I was also going to be a free agent. Okay? So, but like the bottom line is, man, when you get on that fucking bus, it's like they strap you in at a roller coaster and like the world's scariest roller coaster. But most awesome, too. When that bus starts rolling and it gets quiet on that motherfucker, I can, I'll always remember just looking out the window, straight out the window, and watching. shit passed by and like just
Starting point is 00:52:30 you know your head just you go a different place because you're so nervous man it's like everybody just shuts the fuck up when you get on the bus and it gets real so the last thing we were thinking about was champagne or tickets or texting somebody it's like
Starting point is 00:52:46 you get strapped in for real it's like a roller coaster it's a heavy fucking day dude this is right up facts as alley and I think facts you want to pit someone something after this but Skechers and Pokemon just did a co-lab. We've got some Pokemon shoes out now. Facts, what lengths are you going to go to buy these shoes?
Starting point is 00:53:10 He's not going to be buying these shoes. I am going to go out of my way to ask Chris to maybe hit Howie up and see if he has a Skechers rep that can maybe, that can maybe oh dang no no well
Starting point is 00:53:36 he's going to ask him if maybe he has a a sketcher's rep that can maybe get their hands on this and if Howie long if he just text the
Starting point is 00:53:49 sketcher rep he's literally hey do you have these in a size 14 or 15 they will potentially feel like it's for him Right. And then they would probably like find them.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Yeah. And it kind of works out because we all have big feet. So it, how I'm thinking about it in my head. It could potentially work out. You don't have to sell me on this. I'm just going to call them. But look at those.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Look how great they're like those look. I'm calling my mom. Those are, see if moms with that. What do you think those resell for, Newt? Oh, that. That I'm unsure of, but
Starting point is 00:54:28 Here we go. Probably, you probably could get... Hi, sweetie. Hey, Mom. How's my love? I am, I'm great. I'm with Nate and we're working. Hey.
Starting point is 00:54:44 And so he has a question for dad, and dad's phone is off. No, dad is just recording Fox Fed. Oh, no. You hear him in the back? Now you whispered. Hey, Nate, what was your favorite show growing up? Like, TV show? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Oh, um, probably like all that on Nickelodeon. No, no. I'm talking about that. I was listening at one podcast. Oh, oh, the Gilmore Girls. The Gilmore Girls. Okay. Hey, Dad, we were going to, we're actually trying to have you on the podcast right now.
Starting point is 00:55:28 We were actually, you were actually going to come for your bad guy car. Yeah. Hey, dad, dad, on the record, can Nate ask you a question? Yeah. Okay. All right, Big Howie. So I know that you have a sponsorship deal with Skechers, and they just drop some Pokemon sneakers,
Starting point is 00:55:55 and I might need, yeah, like. Yeah, he's basically asking you can get him, and they come in a couple colors so Nate you better be specific What size do you want to be? 14 or 15 If they have them I know like

Starting point is 01:02:59 I was trying to find this Instagram site. Expect anything. From the other day. And there was just random clips of Yankees fans just around the stadium, like outside the state, outside the stadium. And there's like a Jewish guy freestyling. I didn't see this. I saw that. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:03:34 I'm worried like we're going to get beat up. Yeah, like I just, for being there. It's just funny. And for New York, too, if they're down to, oh, like, if they start that game off bad, like, they'll be booing and everything. Yeah. And it's one thing to be watching that on TV. I don't want to be around in real life.
Starting point is 01:03:53 Yeah, I'm telling you. I'm thinking about taking some boomers, and I don't want that to go bad. Like the Yankees fans start getting really out of hand. People fighting in the concourse and shit. I haven't been to a baseball game in a while, and all I see on Twitter is people fighting in the stands. So I'm just going to stay really close to Kyle.

Starting point is 01:05:47 Yeah because they know Cause like they want New Yorkers To come to the game And they know everything's fucking expensive as hell. They get a meatboard in there. Bold disclosure. That's the situation at every major league baseball.
Starting point is 01:05:57 Really? Bring your own food. Yeah, you can bring your own fucking food. Really? Yeah. People bring peanuts. People bring all kinds of stuff. Are you sure?

Starting point is 01:06:45 pint from like a gas station Like a pint of fireball And press it between and Chabata. You know, put some lettuce around that motherfucker some tomatoes
Starting point is 01:06:57 if you really want to ham it up. Fire. Get some some bootleggers in there. Who drinks that shit, huh? That's like whino stuff, huh?
Starting point is 01:07:08 What are the odds of us catching a home rumble? Or someone from less than 0.1%. Someone from the Scott's 50 tickets. What are the odds, you think?
Starting point is 01:07:20 50? 50 people and what's the capacity there like 20. 50,000 to make it easy. I said 23,000. And they don't let you bring food in. I've been to a lot of ballparks. I'm imagining like the carrier dome. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:37 50 in how many you said 50,000? 50,000. Oh, that's pretty easy. We're just moving zeros. Point one percent, right? Yeah, it's one in a thousand. And then you got to actually catch a home run ball. But there has to be a home run.
Starting point is 01:07:50 So one in a thousand, and then they actually got to hit the dinger. To a place to where the ball can be caught. That's baked into those odds. It's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. You guys got no faith. Yeah. I'm going to catch one.
Starting point is 01:08:06 If it comes, I'm going to catch it. What if you catch a fucking line drive to the side of the head? He's just walking. I would just hope it's from the side. pathetic player that's like yo let's go give them some shit not just someone to be like oh damn that sucks
Starting point is 01:08:32 you go to the ballpark get hit with a fucking bat yo that's the worst what kind of fan experience is that you let go of the bat people of football games are safe how bad do you feel about that bro like as a player like if you let go of the bat and it just smacks a fan
Starting point is 01:08:50 like a little kid like I can see a grown up like but what are the most dangerous pro sporting events for I always think about honestly know what I think about a lot I think about a lot is sitting in that front row of a fucking hockey game and that
Starting point is 01:09:05 glass is shattering and it like it happens like it happens a lot no honestly it's happened no I know and it's just like I don't know what that like it probably it probably can get terrible like really really bad but I just don't know what that feeling would be like
Starting point is 01:09:21 to have shattered like glass like falling on top of you suck if you're a if you're a woman you got glass in your purse you're gonna be fishing that shit out for days but like is it like is it is it like super sharp like is it like super sharp like is it yeah yeah yeah the puck you get hitting the throat with a puck no yeah you know uh baseball's definitely the most dangerous baseball problem has to be NASCAR there has been a couple no no NASCAR get fucking decapitated by tire yeah can you imagine a bad can you imagine a bouncing tired is hot tire just twisted metal style killed by tire if i got killed if i get killed at a
Starting point is 01:10:05 nascar race by a piece of a car just put that on my headstone don't put any like you know i get killed in a nascar race i wanted to be celebrating the victory with the champagne cork oh that'd be time yeah that's a good one local producer killed by champagne cork virginia oh my god um What other sport did it with? No. What about, what about, you think a tennis ball can kill you? Like tennis ball? Yeah, like when they hit it like 120.
Starting point is 01:10:34 Yeah, when making, a tennis ball, he says he can hit it 120. Would have won a hundred. Like your arena. No, that's not going to kill it. It just hurt. It just hurt, right? The ball's not hard enough. But like if they hit you in your temple or something.
Starting point is 01:10:46 Actually, that's the fucking answer. What? Lacrosse, that ball is. But like, as a spectator, though. As a spec, that's what I'm saying, because the shots go all over the place, they go off pipe. Like do they in indoor lacrosse do they indoor lacrosse they net it up like they do with hockey but outdoor lacrosse you take some risk here's one haven't even thought of this one um bellator because like think about this what's that bellator you really weed out the the casuals it's the the less popular m m m a it's like triple a yeah so so like you get no there's some good fucking fighters in there i don't want to call it triple a because i don't want to get beat up by somebody in bell
Starting point is 01:11:25 I think there's some badass fighters in there. It's just like a different league than the UFC. But how would you catch a stray in that? Well, by one of the fans, because everybody in there is so aggressive, dude. There's a lot of affliction shirts. There's a lot of people who have a lot of pen up aggression that are living through the guys in the octagon, right? And like at a UFC fight, there's a lot of that.
Starting point is 01:11:52 There's also a lot of celebrities. But I think at like a Bellator fight, it really brings out the like the every man MMA fan. And I could see myself just getting pummeled in a bathroom at a Bellator fight. Yeah, people probably like by Colby Covington fanboys. They used to have Bellator out in the parking lot of the casino in St. Louis. Did they really? In the parking lot. Yep.
Starting point is 01:12:19 So yeah. Bellator's grown though since those days. Yeah. This is a question from a loyal listener. Gabe Gorham asks, is there anything as scary as the concept of being in space drifting through the universe until your end? Well, I got good news and bad news.
Starting point is 01:12:43 Your end's coming pretty quick if you're drifting through space. Now, are you, like, in a space suit? Let's say space suit and you only have, like, a little bit of oxygen left. you'll be floating for a couple hours. But you know when your end will be like you can watch the dial of like oxygen and your space suit or whatever, take down. Or what was the other option? There's no other option.
Starting point is 01:13:09 No, yeah. That's just, is there anything worse or as scary as that? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Lots. Lots. Treading water in the Pacific Ocean way out there. Like the people in the movie about the sharks that.
Starting point is 01:13:24 ate them slowly. You seen that movie? Yeah, well, the whole fucking movie's about two people, big ocean, sharks. They're just like, they're just treading water for days. And they're just getting nibbled on?
Starting point is 01:13:38 Yeah, fuck that shit. I'm drowning myself. I know what's worse. I'm drowning myself. And thank God these kids made it, but the two wrestlers getting stalked by a bear.
Starting point is 01:13:48 Yeah. And they had to fight themselves. Worse than floating through space? He was getting bit on his skull. by a grisly. I'd rather go out by grizzly than floating through space. You would rather get your head bit. Fuck, yeah. It feels so much more primal to me. That feels like, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a mammal. Like, you know, that's,
Starting point is 01:14:11 that's how I was intended in some capacity to go out. Like, and thousand years ago, Sabretoothed tiger could have fucked me up. That's, that's, that's in, it's genetically, it feels, you know, it feels more appropriate floating through space. That feels just gross gross yeah maybe I don't know just I've never been to space so sharks falling out of an airplane like falling out of an airplane yeah that would be worse than space shorter like if you're floating through space you can just take your fucking your helmet off and then you're done this and not in this high so this is basically like your fear of asphyxiation which is pretty bad no it's not the worst it's the mental it's the mental side of like
Starting point is 01:14:53 being in space of just floating into space and looking out into nothingness and having time to consider like how shitty that is and dying that way well Kyle said uh being buried alive or the Han Solo solo mold you know where he gets just kind of plastered on solo comes back right but if you die that way yeah yeah if you die wouldn't be fun my dad just text me back Pokey space man sneakers Question mark Pokemon Skechers
Starting point is 01:15:27 I feel bad for your dad right now because he's going to take it so seriously and make sure he gets it done So there was the 27th ever sports Equinox the other day Yeah Does this make you feel good? You like that?
Starting point is 01:15:44 Hey you like that The sports equinox is it happened on Thursday, October 20th, NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, and NHL, all the major sports all had games on the same day. And there's also college,
Starting point is 01:16:02 there was also college, UVA, Georgia Tech, and there's also, I think, MLS playoff games. And there's Chinese basketball, maybe I bet Chinese basketball, there's tennis. You know why there's so much sports right now is because the world might end.
Starting point is 01:16:22 So everybody's just trying to bury the, right? You know, it's it's. So now thinking about this, so non-sporting like girlfriends, this is probably the worst day of the year for them. If you're a big sports fan, right? If you think about it, like not like the girl. If you're dating a big sports fan? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:40 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, yeah. Frustrated woman turned on her side. away from her husband in bed stock photo and he's got he's got six phones he's got he wants all the games covering the phone looking at the TV TV he just never pays
Starting point is 01:16:59 attention to me during the sports equinox like more divorces happen during the sports equinox than yeah really should look into that I got this five sport parlay going on so I have to watch all these different games I just have to pay attention I bet our five beautiful children. They were my inspiration for each one of my parleyes. The first sports equinox was October 17th, 1971. And on October 28th, 2018, L.A. hosted five professional U.S. sports leagues. What was going on in 1971?
Starting point is 01:17:41 Vietnam? Absolutely. Vietnam. It was the administration of Richard Nixon. first term. There was a lot going on. Okay? So what they do, it's like Buffalo Wild Wings. So they go in this back room and they turn the dial on sports all the way out.
Starting point is 01:17:59 They crank it. They crank it. They're like, yeah, there's a bunch of shit. Like there's a war. Distractor tube. Yeah, there's fucking like inflation. There's, you know, gas prices. There's Persia Walker has a badge.
Starting point is 01:18:11 Things are just fucked up right now, dude. There could be, you don't know what's going on in China. you know so they just turn the dial up max sports i asked you this before yeah and i want to ask you again bro and i'll ask you guys and what do you think came first orange the fruit or orange the color the color orange bro it is the color orange no no no the fruit because they had to base something off the color bro the color orange it's not the the human it's not the english word it's not the english word for orange like the concept of a color does not predate the color the color that's what we're saying we're saying it's not the color oh well if you're asking me when when they they founded the
Starting point is 01:18:59 word orange to describe that color on the color wheel then that definitely came after the fucking uh the introduction of an orange you know it's the fruit the fruit came first the fucking color orange came first. Depends on how you look at the question. What existed first? What things in the natural world are orange? Like, what do you say? Lava.
Starting point is 01:19:27 Lava. Now, when do you think the first person saw lava? Way before there was fruit. A fucking, it doesn't have to be it. It doesn't have to be a... Adam and Eve ate at apple. Fruit is like the third thing that has happened. That's the Bible thing.
Starting point is 01:19:42 You know I got a point, though. Because honestly, the very first thing that happened was lava just started going everywhere. That's the way it looks. You go back and look at these fucking documentaries read about how the world started. You think you know how the world started read? Well, you're wrong. It started with hot lava, which is what color, dude? Red.
Starting point is 01:20:03 There were fish in the sea before there were oranges on land, dude. Before there was an orange grove, there was a bunch of orange jellyfish. And before we were orange jellyfish, even interested, maybe an orange dinosaur. Probably eating oranges and they're like, damn, this orange tastes good. Look it up. When did orange? You think oranges came before the asteroid? Do you think oranges survived the asteroid player?
Starting point is 01:20:29 They could have. These crocodiles have been around, right, since the asteroid? But not oranges, brough. Could be. The color or things that if you're asking. If you are asking. What came first? Things that are orange or the fruit orange.
Starting point is 01:20:49 Things that are orange came first. Okay, is that your final answer? There were fucking, there were asteroids and meteors and meteorites. And they were fucking orange, dude. They had orange. If you were right up close on a fucking asteroid, you would be like,
Starting point is 01:21:04 that is the oranges thing I have ever seen. You got it. But really, though. Let's talk through this for a minute. Look, look. We didn't just talk through it. When did orange? Somebody needs to get on the fucking laptop and tell me when orange just started.
Starting point is 01:21:25 You just told us. I don't know. I don't know either. That's a great question. The fruit came first, originally originating in China, and the English word orange to describe the color followed thereafter. Being gaslit. I am gaslighting.
Starting point is 01:21:41 Yeah, he's gaslighting. I'm like making, I will admit it. He's gaslighting me. I know he's gaslighting me. But if you are asking what came first the color, then you will, are right it's the it depends on how you're i get how you're interpreting how you're interpreting the question a bunch of orange fish man when you said a meteor is orange and not red well there's red in the orange you should do a whole podcast about whether the meteor is red or orange dude look at a
Starting point is 01:22:05 fucking meteor it's red media that's red media that's a burning ball of fire oh yeah look at this shit player what color is that uh what that's yellow it's got some orange in there it's barely got some fucking red in there more pink look at this oh it's pink now looks like gatorade fruit punch to me you fucking psychopath yeah real quick dad texts me slip on send me an image of what you guys want this poor guy he's really doing this Pokemon sneakers okay that was fun it was hey amp was great today if you if you have a chance go download the app love it and uh and check us out on amazon amp every thursday afternoon 430 from Studio J.
