All me free flowing and everything. Then the lead off of the layup line. I was going to do Lazy Day by Willie Nelson because I'm just going to be lazy this weekend. I just, I was supposed to go to Bonnaroo.

It's Monday. Guys are hitting me up. Yeah, I know. Like, I've been getting texts. Like, hey, the bus is, you know, X, Y, Z. How are you getting down there? The whole thing. I don't think I'm going.

I think I'm going to take the, I'm too cowardly to put it in the group text. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people don't just tell you no. Like I don't want to do it. Like say whoever we were supposed to have on the show today. You know? But like I'm being that guy. I'm afraid to just say it.

You know, I've been ignoring text. So here's the coward's way out. I don't think I'm going to Bonarro. Wife's too pregnant. I'm too old. My back is fucking killing me. The last couple times I was out in a big crowd. I didn't like it.

You know? What are the dates? I was going to go Saturday. Okay. Lineup is incredible. But I just don't feel like it's the right time. Yeah. Rip off the band-aid and make the call and say no. Is there FOMO? Is that the issue? FOMO? For me, it's like keeping my options open, you know, because maybe Saturday afternoon I want to drive to, you know, Manchester, Tennessee. Well, I think that option's always open to you, right? I guess. And part of it is just like, hey, babe, I'm going to Bonner. you know try not to have your water break right you know and if your water breaks i'll be there

on acid in six hours six to eight hours you know probably stop for food six to 12 hours six to 12 hours can you imagine being in the middle of bonner like wow those lights are incredible and then boom, my water broke. You know, I've had two kids. I don't remember the water breaking experience. This didn't happen to you. Is this clear to you? Yeah, it is.

Like, I think they might have gone in there and broke the water. Oh, like manual break of the water. It wasn't like, oh. Did they do that, Matt? I believe so, yeah. It can manually break the water. Yeah. Yeah.

It's like a controlled flood. We're 0 for two on walking around and then there's water starts breaking. No, I remember the first time her water broke. And, uh, yeah, there was water. We had to go. Damn, Akema. I don't think everybody knows who, I don't know who Akema was when I walked in here today. Google it.

We're talking about Zion Williamson. We'll talk about him more later. But I don't think I'm going to go. Uh, and actually what I'm going to do instead, this is my Bonneroo is we're going to do a layup line roulette. Oh, sick. My favorite. This week, this past weekend was my 15-year college reunion. I didn't say no until, like, I knew bars were closing.

It's like, hey, you're coming out, and I'm sitting on my couch. I'm like, ah. Okay, this explains a lot. And we're going to get to Omaha in a second because Virginia's, you know, they just beat Duke this weekend. We were both there. We're going to talk about college baseball, the college baseball. the college baseball experience,

which is a great one. It's unbelievable. But we were all at the game, me, back backie, Tom, his brother Chris, brother Chris. We were up high. We could see where everybody was. We spotted where you were.

We saw some of our other friends. After the game, there's a huge letout, and you got across like a bridge to go to where everybody parks and the whole thing. And we're walking, and we look up the hill and we see Macon. And Macon's walking. with two guys that are also wearing khakis.

And we're like, let's fuck with Makin. And I went to, like, record him. And I was like, you know what? This is the type of shit that he hates about me. I'm not going to do that. So we'll just like adults, we're going to call Makin and we're going to meet up with him in the bank parking lot and meet his friends and that sort of thing.

And Kevin pulls out the phone. He dials his friend Makin. We look at Makin. Makin looks down at the phone, swipes to the whichever side is like, uh, not right now, and keeps walking. And you can tell by his smile,

he remembers the exact moment when that happened. But I also knew what you all were doing. Like, I knew you were at the game. I had been texting with you all at the game. Maybe when you see you. I knew you guys were behind me. This is a saving Silverman situation. You have replacement friends.

Kevin does have a bit of a rivalry with this newer friend. You know, that's what he said. Yeah. What's that about? Oh, I don't, hey, listen. Is it business? One likes to sit, no, one likes to sit in a luxury box. and the other likes to sit among the people.

And I chose the guy who likes to sit among the people. Get a little sunshine for three days. But I knew you were right there. And I wasn't just talking. Is that a code break? Well, listen, no. And I'll tell you why. The third gentleman in khakis is not in the friend group.

He's actually a neighbor. A former neighbor of yours. So you were protecting. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It was like a real conversation. Frank's the man. It was a real conversation with Frank.

It wasn't like, hey, let me stop. Fuck around with those guys for a few minutes. We just didn't get the call five minutes later. No, you didn't. Sorry, we were talking shot. I don't think that's a code break. Had Makin been by himself, walking alone, yes, code break.

I am petrified. When I'm in a public place and my phone starts vibrating, I don't even look at it because that person could be at the restaurant right to the right. Right behind you. You know, the person could be two tables over. Didn't see the call. You know, so I'm with you, but if it was you, I'd probably pick it up. Thanks.

You call from one of your actual friends. Yeah. All right, so anyways, shuffle And I'll take this time to shout out Jason Isbel's new album Which I meant when I saw you earlier making You would really enjoy it Okay weather veins out at last Friday Weather veins, nice, I look forward to this

Sounds like it's more like Jason ain't Bell for you No, it is Bell. Okay He's gonna be in Killers of the Flower Moon Is he really? You or me? Why don't you go first? My phone keeps going and dark as if it's on low battery mode and yet it's not on low battery mode which is interesting

you haven't gotten a new phone yet my dad said he dropped his phone in the water the other day for like a minute yeah totally fine oh phone shoots water out of uh itself oh like the watches yeah um prime angel from montgomery okay it's gonna be hard to be right that's the one seed he's live bonnie rate with john prom yeah unless we go uh susan Susan probably beats Sean. Winnebago by Kenny Chesney. Mm-hmm. Risky 8 seed.

Ooh. How's it going to be? Third Eye Blind. Personal favorite. That's like a mid-major that could make a run. Oral Roberts. Yeah. Okay, you don't have to play it that long.

Everybody was enjoying it. Oh. You didn't get it, but you were close. a bug flu in and around Chris's face. Yeah. What does that band name even mean? Third-eye blind. Yeah, sure.

So you know how you have two eyes. Yep. Perhaps you have a third eye, but you're blind in it, you know? Yeah, third eyes like all these hippies, you know, they got a third eye. They, you know, they got a six cents. It's like a sixth sense. It's like you're not Haley, Joel Osman. Dead the whole time.

Spoiler. He's going to come up again in this show. So is Kenny Chesney. He prefers Chesney. In the Eskimo Brothers section of the pod. Oh, Renee. It's a lot by Bill Murray and... Renee.

Yeah, well, Renee, but not Haley and Kenny, but those two. Got you. Yeah. Okay, so you got one more song, or is it three? It's three. Okay, here I go. Good luck. Charleston Girl.

Uh-oh, that's a great final. Charleston Girl, that's like a fucking strong three-seed. I may nominate. Winnebago though, so careful. Christo Redentor by Canned Heat. Okay. I like canned heat. I don't know that song. Well, it's going to take too long. There's a lot of sacks.

Blue Ridge Mountain Sky by the Marshall Tucker Band. Okay. Oh, fuck. He's going to win. You got to go first. I'll nominate Angel from Montgomery by John Prine and Bonnie Rae. I'll go Charleston Girl by Tyler Childers. It's Angel from Montgomery. You can't pick anything else.

Good song. Pass from Montgomery. Just give him the one. And this of living is just a hard way. Yeah, it's a song. Well, you could pick Tyler Childers and Charleston girl, you know? Good to win one. Yeah.

No? Not really my lane. Mm-hmm. Should we give out some of these awards before we get into Omaha? Yes. Real quick. Um, all right. So I have a Bevel Conway watch.

Okay, this is given to the most beautiful scene in sports, and we all love the cream sickles. We all love Tampa's uniforms of yesteryear when they really sucked. Now they just kind of suck. They'll like win, and you'll be like, did they win? But back in the day, they lost, and you knew it all the time. And they wore these gorgeous cream sickle uniforms, and they're back this year when they play the Detroit Lions. and all I'm saying is, and I'm not trying to look at gift horse in the mouth here,

but the lions should be in their Barry Sanders. You know, the new stuff is, it's fine, but I'm getting chills thinking about this exact color combo in Madden in the 90s. Yeah, when I think about these in modern day,

I think about Josh Freeman, because 2011 they did, don't you have a Josh Freeman story? Josh Freeman. Yeah, well, I sacked him. I think a couple times. Because look, in 2011, a short story.

In 2011, but excellently told, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. They wore them and they looked fabulous. How else are you going to look? I don't think the current lions are good at all. And I do think that they will take away a little bit from this.

Yeah, they will. If only we could have had the cream sickles with the Kelly Greens. I don't mean to step on your Kelly Greens. No question. Well, that's September 21st. 25th. They could have done it. Who they plan? So the Eagles at Buccaneers. So it's possible.

Maybe they'll surprise. Still could. Still could. Year is full of surprises, man. We could get a good surprise. I don't know. With the No Fun League, it's probably like, no, you can't wear road throwbacks. And what the fuck was that a bell of danger? Save it. Wow. Something just flashed up on the big screen there, Yokic. And somebody in the in the background. It'll come back. Okay.

All right. So anyways. Where's the first player you think of when you think of the creamsicle? Fuck, dude. I got to think hard. Probably Lee Roy Selman. Steve Spurrier? Yeah.

That's funny because I don't think of Steve at all. It was Spurrier for me too. I think he was their first draft pick. Interesting. Okay, I got a feel-good story here. Is Smith deserves a St. Louis Memorial Award. We're probably jinxing him. The game has not tipped yet.

They're up three weeks. tonight he could be an NBA champion he's waited 14 years for this the dude has been on 13 teams one of my all-time favorite players by the way really he plays yeah you just liked him at wake forest or loved him at wake forest loved him throughout his NBA career he always puts up numbers in limited minutes until this year where he doesn't play much well and well liked yeah he was good in new Orleans was that yeah he had a little run yeah i know i get the joke but yeah no um he could get a ring. The guy is a religion major. Oh. We like that. He prays during the national anthem. And that's a lot of praying during the national anthem. That's 13 times 82 plus playoffs.

Please, Lord, give me a ring. Yeah, he's looking out. And finally. You a hand over the heart guy? No. Me neither. Yeah. I'm a hand on the breastplate guy. You know, because a lot of people don't even know where the heart is. Right, it's right, it's right there in the middle. A little to the side. Oh, it's a little to the side. It's a little to the side, but it's not over here like people do it. People are in their armpits. I'm gonna show you where the heart is. Okay. Okay. Oh, Oh, I would go more to the middle there, player. No, player. Pull up a heart. Oh, he zooms in on the one that's slightly awesome. Can we zoom out a little bit? That's pretty fucking in the middle, huh? No, the right side of the heart is in the middle. Russ, what screen are you looking at?

Look, it's in line with the, with the genitalia. Is it more to the left or more to the right? Yeah, yeah, for sure. Now, some of the heart crosses over the middle, but the predominant heart region is to the left. Yeah, I was just growing up, I thought it was like your left. No, no, you're just like hand on nipple. Yeah, you know, slide it way over. Yeah.

Well, anyways. by putting my hands upon my back. Is Smith and D'Hondre Jordan. I was going to say one of the other most like players. And Jeff Green. Yes. But Jeff Green's still contributing. Yeah, he is.

But he's always been Jeff Green. You know what I mean? Like, he can catch a body at age 36. He can. But I feel like NBA fans' concept of Jeff Green is like very neutral. If anything, just kind of irritated with him a little bit.

Seems to keep signing him. Yeah, I know. Okay. Well, Jeff might get a ring too. St. Louis Memorial Award. Hey, do you want to tell your Omaha story? Yeah, yeah, more of a Charlott's a great way to start a story. Hey, do you want to tell that story?

More of a Charlott's full story. So I really do love this college baseball tournament. 64 teams, 16, 14-team regionals. Then you get the super's best two out of three between two teams. And it was Virginia and Duke for the right to go to Omaha. And I spent the weekend, Chris, inside the asses of several dudes. Duke Blue Devils. Yeah.

All right. Take two. I spent the weekend riding the asses of several Duke Blue Devils. And one of them is the villain of this story. His name's Alex Mooney.

War number one, played shortstop. Cat looks like McGroober. Kind of looks like Joe Dirt. But swagtastic. He did a hop, skip, and a jump and lunge toward the mound when he would take the field.

Yeah. Like he would get to the plate, but he would then like, lunge toward the mound like I'm coming to attack you sort of deal he got on base he kicked dirt behind him like a bull you just kicked dirt behind him like a bull he would run out there he would he would be he would be dancing galavanting around between between second and third anyway easy guy to root against right so ride him in game one uh virginia leads after seven they give up the lead duke wins five four disheartening Alex moon

Mooney, he has the upper hand. Who's dominate game two? Now Mooney gets hit in a lower extremity, gets on base, and then as there's a throwback to first, and Mooney, I guess, tweak something. Now, I was, I turned into a jackass in this situation. Yeah, not the first time I've seen you do that a sports game. In my humble opinion, I didn't think he was dinged, all right?

You know, I was right there. I was right there. It was on first base. Yeah. Great weekend in Charlottesville. 85 degrees sunny, you know, with my new friends. I take issue with the AQ. Yeah, a little high.

Yeah. Friday especially was high. All right. So I thought he was okay. Shit, he has a teammate called Mets who has a torn ACL out there. Big kid. Duke's got a recruiting profile. Big kids.

Yeah, no ACL. Yeah, he's got torn ACL. Hasn't had surgery? Yeah. What a warrior. Now Mooney tweaks an ankle. All right. I'm gonna, you know, all right. So who's when? Duke huddles in the outfield in right field. And then I say to my buddy, you know, we've been vocal. We've been chirping. I say, hey, I think I'm going to run down there to the front row say something. Say a thing or two. I'd had one pop. I'm not like intoxicated here. Like leaning on the fence, blocking people or? No, no, no. Everybody's dispersing. And I just want to go and just have a few words, you know, they can, they can hear you. So I, so

mooney comes out of the dugout goes out to right field he's he's got all this ice on his on his leg okay and then he's trailing everybody walking back to the dugout after little huddle breaks up and i see this so to all the other duke blue devils walking back into the clubhouse i'm like hey mooney all right y'all seen you all seen mooney mooney doing okay how's mooney looked like he got dinged up is mooney all right And like a couple of the guys are laughing. A couple of guys are like, what the fuck? A couple of guys are like, you're making fun of a guy who got hurt sort of thing. Yeah, that's the right response.

Right, right. Like that makes the most sense. So does anybody see Mooney? And then Mooney's limping up. He's six feet behind everybody. And then I was like, oh, there he is. There he is. Give him a big cheer, you know, Mooney.

So then Mooney flicks me off, all right, which is to be expected. That's fine. Duke A.D. steps in, steps in the middle. and you know make sure everything is going to be nice and pleasant for the next few seconds that he's out on the playing field. And so there were a couple other things that were said. There's a kid named Beasley who came in and threw gas. He was yanked after one inning. The next guy, Boucher comes in and gets lit up.

You know, we're talking Beasley-Boucher stuff. There's just a lot of inside baseball quite literally being talked about. But so after the Mooney thing, I thought I'm walking out in total just. Oh, fuck. I'm 37. Damn near three kids. I just like made fun of a college kid for getting hurt in a baseball game. I am an asshole.

And so I text my buddy afterward. I was like, hey, fucking regret that. That wasn't the move. And he was like, yeah, I feel the same way. And so now I'm like, fuck. I might have just fucked it up for the whos who are about to play in a, in a winner take all game three. Bulletin board material.

The next day. and then I get an hour or two later I get a DM and it's from Alex Mooney and I thought oh my God now I'm 20 damn near 20 years older than this guy and I felt like the cops

had DM'd me I felt like I had been called into the principal's office with a DM and I was like this is either going to be good or bad and the DM I showed it to you he wrote respect the chirps fan of the pod handshake emoji

is that wild or what and the villain of the story automatically becomes the hero in an instant this kid's my favorite baseball player I was going to say the villain of the story becomes you absolutely

absolutely no absolutely no this guy this guy seems cool Mishagander stud player yeah hey I like the swag yeah great stash

but so now I have a decision to make, Chris. All right, story's not over. I know you thought it might have been. Game three still looms the next day. This is night of game two and he's DMed. Did you ask him about his injury? Nah, well listen. So I decide to leave him on red. Now this was hard for me to do because I don't like confrontation, you know, try to make peace as quickly as possible. So I leave him on red because in the event he thinks that like we're cool and he does like the show, he might think like, Oh man, he didn't respond, you know? Getting his head a little bit.

If I had responded right away, he's feeling good overnight, you know? He's feeling confident. You basically won the series for us. Exactly. Leave him on red. And then in the morning, that's when I'm like, hey, man, you're a nice guy. So fuck up the night's sleep. Yeah.

Fuck up his night's sleep. But don't take it through the game. But don't give motivation. Butter him up morning up. Yeah. So I'm like, hey, I say like, you're a nice guy, question mark. Actually in tarot bang, which is a question mark. followed by an exclamation point.

You're a nice guy in Tarobang, followed by Michael Scott Jiff. No, God, please, no. You know, I'm being funny. And then I'm being, then I am sincere saying, hey, man, hope you're healthy. Good luck.

Thanks for humoring some old men. We're all having fun out there sort of shit. But then I'm like, hey, but that Albright, he ain't getting no hits today. Tell him he used all them up yesterday. Albright goes over four. Perfectly played. Albright goes over four.

Alex goes LMAO will do And my guy Alex has a Has a fine game The Albright kid does indeed go for Better luck next time to Albright And the who's win the game 12 to 2 It was

Dude you really did affect A major college sport You know I want to give some credit To the kids out there on the field Yeah You know And the orange and blue

He played a good game But We gave it All we had in the stands as well, there's a kid who got picked off at first for Duke. So we were in the ass of the first base coach the rest of the day, you know? One, two, three, back. Oh, we were in his head. Yeah.

He kept doing half turns and shit. I want to credit my new friend, Kyle, you know, very vocal, had a booming, booming voice. I was the author of a lot of the material. But he had a booming voice and was hitting like 700 with the rest of the section, you know? I don't have the balls, you know, to be the ball. the guy that talks when it's quiet at a at a sporting event. Well, and you're also, since you're Chris Long, you know, it wouldn't. Chris Long.

It wouldn't. I was at a Yankees game where people don't know me. And, you know, I heard a lot of people yelling clever things that they obviously waited for a lull to yell. And it's scary. You're stepping out on a ledge. Absolutely. So kudos to you.

And I want you to give yourself more credit than you are. I think you had a lot to do with the outcome of that game. Yeah. And shout out to Alex Mooney. Alex Mooney. My man. Our dog. All-ACC freshman last year, probably this year too.

Well, it'd be hard to be in all-ACC freshman two years in a row. Right, right, right. That's a fine point, sophomore this year. So I haven't written them back, you know, probably a tough. Sincerely, that's the worst. This is going to dovetown nicely into our best sports fan draft later in the pod. And Macon cannot be drafted, but

you should be at least your big board material. Thank you. Why can't we take Macon? Because I feel like, well, I'm not going to take Macon. Take this kid, Kyle, you don't know. Yeah, I do know him. He really left it all out there. Okay.

Have you ever been kicked out of a game as a fan? Yeah. Yeah. What happened? St. Ann's Belfield basketball versus Woodbury Forest year was probably 2003. Yeah. And I made remarks about the opposing team and was, was tossed out of the gym.

Oh, like physically. It was Mark O'Donnell, if memory. You were removed, and I believe you had to send an apology notice to the other school. Yeah, note. I had to write a note saying, I'm sorry. You don't behave, huh? I don't know. I'm like a, I'm like a...

You act out. I'm like a keyboard cowboy. Is that what they're called? But not just the keyboard. Yeah. Yeah, I guess I'm less anonymous when I'm in there. I'm kind of like, I'm kind of like the man in the arena, you know? Yeah, you think about it.

the man in the arena, well, on the, in the stands. So here I am picturing a potential social breakout discussing my man, Alex Mooney. Is it uncouth to post a screenshot of a DM? No, I don't think so, unless it's going to paint the other person a bad light. I think considering the context, this kid looks really good. Yeah, he does. He really does. Yeah.

You know, I don't know how I would have responded as a freshman for the second year in a row. Hey, baby gronk's dad. Can we talk about that right now? Yeah. We talk about baby gronk right now. Where are we on baby gronk? Because Kyle's feeling real good about what he said a week ago. Just a week ago, Kyle said, I'm fading baby gronk.

Baby gronk's not going to be shit. And the last week has been tough for baby grong. And baby gronk's dad is our boy, Wilcompton. He actually texted me the night before he posted that and was like, I think I got to take baby gronk's dad for a walk. and of course I'm like let's wind this battery up a little bit I'm like yeah it would be the greatest

walk of all time you know he's got a walk he's got a walk coming it was a great walk but basically for people who don't know there's this kid baby gronk nickname given by his dad or himself yeah and it's hard to know who's who in this situation

they're basically like they're one unit they're one organism baby gronk's dad and baby gronk but like Baby Gronk has received offers I believe from college teams

which kind of scares me when it comes to college agnostication the guys probably making more money than me right now off the off the field

he's playing flag football and he's collecting passive income by way of probably like appearances and social media money and I don't know like probably Too bads. Yeah. And a lot of people are getting annoyed by the fact that his dad is pulling the puppet strings

a little too tight. The guy is DMing like every... He's DM'd us before. He's DM me. I mean, like, it's amazing. Baby Gronk's dad has like, you know, my mom has a Google alert for me. Baby Gronk's dad has like some sort of device that when somebody even says baby gronk, like the dad's in the room.

Like he just, you know, like we set it on the pod and 12 hours later I got DM from baby gronk. What's up, Chris? And it's obviously he's dad. And so Will says in the walk that basically you're exploiting the kid. It's going to fuck the kid up. You're chasing clout. The whole thing. I have no problem with the kid profiting off the internet because that's what we're all doing. Right. Me, Will, whoever else, we're all making money off of content if we're posting online. Because I think at this age, like, there are people in the early 30s who spend a lot of time on Twitter and Instagram and they love it. And then you get to be a little bit older. Maybe you have kids.

Maybe you're staring 40 in the face and you're like, I don't fucking get this anymore. The only reason I'm on Twitter is because of this podcast. I'm doing it for money. Soliciting business on social media is like totally fine. We do it all the time. But the difference is we're not using a 10-year-old kid to do it. And, you know, I see where Will's coming from. I mean, it's a little bit fucking weird.

And, you know, I do think you got to be concerned about the toll that this is going to take on baby grunk, quite literally. You know, if you look at child actors, which is essentially what he is, he's a child actor. I'm wondering how he's going to turn out when he's older. McCulley Culkin, 5'7. The guy from the Goonies in Indiana Jones, 5'4. Haley Joel Osmond, 5'6. these child actors are literally being compressed by the fucking pressure. By their parents oppression.

Well, no, just by the pressure of being under pressure at 10 years old. And having to live up to something, man. This guy, baby Gronk, I'm worried that he's going to get child actoritis. He's going to be 5'7. He's going to be on a full ride at Tennessee. It's going to be 2029. I don't know. When's this kid going to be in college?

2009. I'm going to be watching a game, drunk as fuck on the couch, and Kirk Herb Street is going to be like, and there's baby grunk. Do you remember him from 2003, and he's going to be holding for the kicker? I was going to say he's like the backup long snapper. With his genetic mutation that turned him into a fucking,

a Haley Joel Osmond. So I'm just worried about the amount of pressure that we're putting on this kid. I don't know. growth plates get stuck if you get too much shine at this age. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They get a little sticky, you know? Also, his government name, Madden San Miguel,

way fucking cooler than baby grong. That's not like Rod Smart and he hate me. Right. But does that mean his dad had the plan from like before he was born to like name him Madden after John Madden and football? Well, yeah, but then John Madden died. So he was like, we got a, we got a name, boom, we got to name somebody after. I don't know, baby gronk, I'm a little uncomfortable with it.

I really am. Very uncomfortable with it. And there's people that are still even this week, like interviewing him and his dad, giving them this platform. I'm like, you don't have to be complicit in that. Well, listen. I get that it'll do numbers. All us content creators are staring that DM in the face, like, we could break the internet a little bit today.

there was a part of me that was like let's call baby gronk's dad just give it to him and just put him cool with that yeah i'd more want to be i'd want to be i'd peers morgan him you know he'd be like hey what the fuck i thought i was coming on here to talk about madden uh baby grong and i think that's what happened to him in the big like hit piece in the athletic i believe it was like he thought he was doing an interview promoting himself and baby gronk and in reality they were talking about how fuck's up in his son Yeah, so I kind of, we all stare at that proposition in the face. Somebody's going to take the cheese, and I think it should be Dr. Faxx.

And I think Dr. Fax should do his very own sit down with baby Grunk. We'll send Dr. Fax to Baby Grong's house wherever that is, and we'll get to sit down, like 60 minutes style. We're shorting baby gronk while rooting for the kid. Yeah, no question. And this is actually dovetails nicely again, something that me, Bad Back Baggie and Tom and Brother Chris were talking about at the game, which was we were really enjoying baseball, like going to a college baseball game. I mean, it was a great scene, although my head was stuck in like softball,

like somebody hit a double in the gap and I was like, that's an inside of the Parker. Like me and Tom were like, I don't know, you better go get that ball. And then like, you know, the count was confusing. I'm in softball terms. So I was because I went Friday and Saturday. I kept thinking there would be way more errors. Like when there was a pie, I was like, they're fielding the ball. They've caught like three in a row.

He's got to drop it. They're fielding the ball effortlessly. The throws, the hoses in on the all of these guys in the outfield. Yeah, there were no airs. It's not like that. It was ridiculous. But anyways, I asked the guys because we were, you know, Kev was like, it'd be great if, you know, one of our kids was playing college baseball or something.

I said, well, what if you could choose? What if you were like Baby Gronk's dad without the oppressive marketing tactics that are going to shrink baby Gronk? Where would you want your kid to play college sports? What school, what sport? Consider the lifestyle. Consider the going to the games.

Consider the enjoying the games. Consider how safe it is. What sport, what region, maybe what school, would you want your kid playing? So I'll tell you what I came up with what you guys think about. That's a tough, yeah. It's a tough one, okay. I'm,

Waylon is really into basketball lately. He's doing 100 dribbles on his left hand every day. Nice. Yeah. And I think he's going to be a college basketball player. Okay? And I think baseball scares me because the weather's fucking great. I mean,

I'm going to love to be at my son's game. But that's going to really fuck up Rivertime. I'm on River ratio. T-O-R would be all. out of whack if we're looking to the saber metrics i'm nice and cold out when basketball's it's cold out like what the fuck am i doing anyways i get a house down in charleston live down in charleston in the winter and commute to columbia to watch whalen play scc basketball because i need something close but not so close that he's in the uh he's in my backyard um like i was to my parents

you see him as more of like a physical brute type player that's like more that SEC brand a lot yeah i think he's I think he's going to be. I think he's like a, what's his name? A Gerald Wallace. Wallace. Okay. You always compare yourself to Gerald Wallace. That's the joke.

Game doesn't compare whatsoever. A lot of scrutiny in Power 5 college basketball. And he's going to hear it. You're going to be his dad and you're going to be there apparently. No question. But what do you mean? You think he's going to be taken like? Well, like he could play.

golf. Yeah, that's true. He could play golf at South Carolina, but when they playing golf? Also a lot of golf to watch. Spring. Spring weekends because they do like three, four day tournaments. I can do that. I can do a spring weekend. I'm just, I'm just, I want

to talk it through. The river's not, the river's not busy on the weekday. That's exactly. Rivertime weekday. Why can't he be like a bruising power forward for the College of Charleston Cougars, you know? Take it down and not. That'd be good. That'd be good. Take it down.

That'd be good. I feel like there's a lot of cocaine down there. A lot of cocaine in Columbia, too. But, uh, vouch. You know, it's just, yeah,

he knows where to find it. It's like a drug dog. Got a heat map in his fucking house of where all the cocaine is. I would also choose basketball and I would choose Ivy League basketball, something like Yale or Princeton. Okay. So you'd be, yeah,

you got no problem going up there to fucking New Haven and. I love Ivy League basketball. I'd go basketball, but Rocky Mountain basketball. Any Rocky Mountain? Because what? They play two games a week. I go out there for a homestand and I get a ski. Also, that's far enough, too, that you're not expected to be at every game.

Right. My answer is Matt's answer. That's the right answer. I'll have the kid go play. Hey, where's Columbia? New York City. It's in the city? Yeah, dog.

And then I can hang out in New York. Yeah, it's beautiful. The other one's Harvard, Boston. Strong picks. Penn. Penn is in Philly, is that right? Yeah. I'll have the kid playing hoops.

Ivy League hoops. In the Ivy League. Now, however, is this, are we being sexist? Because I have a daughter, you're about to have a daughter. And my two-year-old daughter, I hate to. Well, we're not. I didn't praise it future children. I hate to show you up.

She's dribbling. Like she likes to dribble. She's dribbling basketball. Okay. Greenlight me this weekend. I brought a basketball. to the playground. Yeah.

These four little snot-nosed kids ran up on me and like, hey, can we play with that basketball? Yeah. I was like... Should see me school the French kid down at the beach. I was like, will you, yeah, will you give it back? And they were like, yeah. Then they took it like the whole time.

I had like 30 seconds to play hoops. Because we had to leave the playground. That would never happen to Rissilo. So it sucks. True. True. Oh, so the girl, I say, hey, you're my, you're my sweet little girl.

And she says, dad, you're my sweet little girl. That's a funny little thing. That's a funny little thing we have. Okay. Makes sense. I just coughed. I want to red light something.

Forest fires. We know they're not good, but we didn't know how much they can affect all of us, right? You know, us people out east, you go out west. I go out west Montana every summer. We've had to evacuate our house because the forest fires like and they're happening more lately and everything uh riscilla was out there

at the time it's a problem and you know what happened in canada we all felt it down here so i'm sitting here in virginia and the aq is skyrocketing too hundi yeah i get a fucking upper resi and i'm coughing like a like a motherfucker uh i'm having coughing spells i wake up i go to the bathroom get back in bed and lo and behold i can't move all the sudden i'm like a turduecky hurdle. Yeah, I can't get up off my back, can't roll over, nothing. I'm like, here we go. Fucking coughing spell turned my sacrum sideways. That's what Dr. Tickle told me, my chiropractor. Oh. Okay, so you know where your sacram is? I do. Yeah, when that shit turns sideways, your hip starts attacking you and you can't move. I felt like Professor X. I felt like

switch it back. No, it's, it doesn't work that way. It's not like an ignition in a car. You can try to realign it, but then your muscles are still guarding. And when you talk about like debilitating back pain, like, I don't think people realize how bad it can be unless you know. If you know, you know. Does Dr. Tickle make house calls? How did you get to Dr. Tickle? That was the hardest part. When I tell you it was hard to get my car, like I had to almost get in the right side of the car, like on my belly, like a fucking, like a snake.

You know, I look like Leonardo DiCaprio. in Wolf of Wall Street where he's crawling to the door, but I'm not on Quailudes. I'm just, I'm looking into my future as an old man. Like, this is what I'm going to feel like. So it sucks. You know, who was harsh on things? The Canadian Mounties at the golf tournament yesterday,

they were harsh on Adam Hadwin. Oh, my God. He just wanted to hang out with his friend and party a little bit, and they solid form tackled his ass. So here's the thing about Adam and most pro golfers. I think Adam's one of the, and this is a beautiful tackle. It looks like a movie. It's the most real-life sports scene that look like a movie.

Like it's a comedy. And the champagne's flying. Just flying. That champagne bottle's going to the Canadian Hall of Fame. Now the security guard, security guard, it's Moet too. Yeah. Yeah. That's funny.

Yeah, right. Security guard could have got the ball. You know, as a defensive lineman, I mean, try to get the ball. John Abraham told me, sometimes I don't even try to wrap them up. I just go for the ball. But here's the thing about Adam Hadwin, okay? Golfer wins the golf tournament, RBC Canadian Open, hugs his caddy, and his pal spraying champagne on him. Now, is this guy, he's a pro golfer?

Because I look at what he makes a year. He made 2.5 mil a year. So he's legit. And I think he's part of, you know, golf to me is interesting because, It's a great lifestyle. Like, we are asking what sport you want your kids to play and maybe go pro in or something like that. Golf, because there's the 90-percenter golfer, and you could probably tell me a better percentage that, like, nobody knows what you look like. You kind of live in relative anonymity.

You're going to run into some bros that love you. But for the most part, you're not like a basketball player or football player. So you have that going for you. And there's a really interesting thing about being this kind of golfer, a 90-percenter. Golf is the only sport that the people on the field look exactly like the people in the stands. So you cannot tell in this moment. First off, he's a 90%er, but you can't tell who he is. He could be a fan.

He's dressed like him all. He looks like them all. It's the only sport where that thin little rope separates a bunch of people that if you flooded a ballroom with him, I wouldn't know who's who. And so that's why he got tackled. And for that same reason, like, you can make a lot of money on the tour, but if you start not playing so great, you can win money as a gambling hustler. Nobody knows who you are.

You're amazing at golf. People bet on golf all the time. It's the best sport to play the rest of your life, obviously. Oh, and I, because you can broker business deals with it. You can make money doing it if you played. I think there are mid six figures out there for teaching pros all day long. It's cushy. His wife did tweet out that in true Canadian fashion, Adam apologized to the security.

guard. This guy seems great, dude. It's great. He's living a great life, dude. I'm sure he feels like shit. It was an incredible tournament too coming into the U.S. Open, which we have this week, because the guy, Nick Taylor, had a 72-foot walk-off putt, the first Canadian to win the Canadian Open in almost 50 years. Our guy Hadwin didn't win? No, Hadwin was jumping to his friend, Nick Taylor. Hadwin was a guy with the bottle of Moette. Hadwin and Taylor both Canadians and their buddies and Taylor got y'all. And it was a moment of ecstasy because the Canadian won the Canadian open and they're you know speaking of explaining something to me can you guys explain the Zion situation the only exposure I have was the one tweet

from the gal that said Zion is who's having a baby this week uh was a week prior in Houston maybe with this gal what's her name marian mills spitting in her mouth yeah allegedly okay now this is something than some people do when they get really horny. Like this is like, this is like when they study human beings, when the aliens are studying us, they're like, why are they doing that? That's when they get max horny, you know? Like, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what's going on there.

And I made a joke on Twitter that I hope it tastes like lettuce wrap because, you know, he's trying to get skinny. It was one of your best. Thank you. It was a good joke, but that's the extent of the situation that I understand is that Zion, he's out sewing his wild oats and he's doing sex and he's spitting some gal's mouth. He's really the kingston of the New Orleans Pelicans. Fuck off. It's a variable fuck fest. Hey, um, did you ever think we get, some people have never

changed. Some people are still walking around masks and stuff. Some people are getting lettuce wrap to the, to the, uh, to the throat. You know, like the germ, the germ at versions, the germ adversion spectrum is crazy in this country. Yeah. That's amazing. That act feels a little degrading. I think that might be the point.

I don't know. Yeah, I think so too. But, uh, so. Mariah noted it. Yeah, Mariah is basically the side piece, and she has now been very publicly talking about how Zion misled her and is like trying to do this with two girls. How does he think that she wouldn't find out?

What if he had a sinus infection? He says that can you spread a sinus infection? Probably. She says that her condo better be ready in two weeks. But she's also gotten a lot of notoriety for herself. She's a noted adult film actress. Last month, she was ranked 173rd in the world on Porn Hub. This week, she was ranked seventh.

So she needs to chill with the youth. Oh, I let you spit my mouth. That's like getting, somebody putting their arm. around her. Yeah, she's come a long way since her, uh, quote unquote, ghetto bangs videos. Is that a real series she was in? Yes, sir. Uh, okay, well, um, I like how you quote unquoteed that. Fire in the hole. Quite a come up. Uh, no, but what, like, Zion at this point. What are we doing, dude? Having sex, dude. He's very horny, it appears. Okay, but horniness. I didn't see horniness. Hornyness.

horniness is a net positive here. Okay? A body in motion stays in motion. Okay? He's exercising. But what Mariah alleged was that the mother of Zion's to be born child is bad, bad for him, toxic for him, because she doesn't, Akima doesn't let him do that.

Doesn't care that he's out of shape. Mariah. wanted him to be in shape, was motivating him to be, I think, the next LeBron, I believe was the terminology. They're playing naked twister. They're doing fucking hot yoga. Bedgammon.

Mm-hmm. Bedgammon. Somebody tell this dude what an NDA is, please. I mean, somebody tell this dude what a common cold is. For fuck's sake. I met a guy.

That's a tough segue. He was asked to sign an NDA. He said, I don't sign NDAs. One of the most badass things I've ever heard. I hope to be able to say it one day.

And there was some big dating news the other day. It was revealed that Bill Murray is dating Calise. Very happy for the new couple. Very happy for them both. But this begs the question for us. What are the most outrageous Eskimo brother combinations we can think of? Before we delve to deep into the shout out to the show the league,

which made this term famous. An Eskimo brother is a shared sexual party. Really? That's a new term? Yeah. A lot of people called it kissing cousins. Wait, so when did the league come out? Like 2013.

It was before then, but still not that much longer. Look up origin of Eskimo. I don't know, I'm sure. I'm sure you're right, because this means you've looked it up. I think people were saying it before, but that like really popularized it. Okay, so they were like the Thomas Edison. of, by the way, I want to apologize.

I don't think Thomas Edison killed an elephant. Oh, really? No, I don't think so. It's all over the internet, though. And I want to blame AI, okay? It's just going to be harder and how I want to pivot. That's Edison's fault, too. He started this whole process that led to that.

So it kind of is his fault that I totally slandered him on a podcast. He's rolling over in his grave with his ceramic filament in there. It's not even tungsten. Okay. Thomas Edison, I want to apologize him and now I want to pivot and warn everybody that this is what happens when there's misinformation. Thomas Edison and Charlie Chaplin were actually Eskimo brothers. Really? No, it's more misinformation. Oh, that's good.

Okay. Jim Carrey and George Lucas. No way. Yes, dude. What's the connecting bond? By way of Linda. Lisa Ronstadt. Linda Ronstad. And Linda?

Linda? Linda had to write the right time in the first time. Okay. 1983. Jim Carrey gets with an older woman. And boom. Jim Carrey 83? What was he?

18? I don't know. She robbed the cradle. George Clooney and Jamie Fox. By way of Stacey Kebler. Okay. Kenny Chesney and Jack White. Oh, right.

Oh, right. Yeah. Renézelweger, yes. Okay. Former Mrs. Chesney. You could do Madonna and Tupac. Madonna's coaching tree is like a fucking bonsai, dude. It's just, there's so many branches of that tree.

How about Kim K? She's all over the place, too. Well, she's kind of staying in the same division. Yeah, same way. You know, the interesting thing about, you know, a Madonna and Tupac is Madonna is also fucking like some, you know, old white guy too. Tupac and Sean Penn. Tupac and Sean Penn.

This is what I mean. like Madonna is the connect connective tissue so many. Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez. Eskimo sisters. Callie Culkin and Scottie Pippin. Madonna. Oh my God. Scotty Pippin and Marcus Jordan.

I mean, which is just the all-time weirdest. Vanilla ice and Warren Beattie. Wow. Wow. Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson, Janice Dickinson, the first supermodel. Dennis Robin and Simon Cowell, Carmen Electro. Oh, yeah. Carmelo and KG, allegedly.

Sherr just got with Greg Allman. Tom Cruise and Greg Alman's a weird one, huh? Yeah. I mean, isn't it? Tom Cruise hooked up with Cher. Yeah, I completely missed that. Yeah, dude. He had like a stepping stool.

How about Tiger Woods and Alex Rodriguez? I mean, I think. I mean, that makes sense. Yeah. There's Spencer Haywood and David Bowie with Amman. with who with Bowie's wife yeah

Shumper Bowie's white no got it different Amon uh jean june Simmons and John Voight

It would old Dick Gere. Yeah, he was getting that movie with Julia Roberts. Okay. So yeah, Bill Murray and Kalees, yeah. Do what you please, you know? Richard Gere is Eskimo brothers with that one dude in the movie Unfaithful, where his wife is screwing the other guy. Who's in Unfaithful?

All right, we are drafting best slash most notable fans, fans that you would, that you enjoy seeing at the game usually associated with a person or team. Yes. Or a moment.

Or a moment. It's very, very open. It's an all-time fan draft. I'd like to go as many rounds as you guys are comfortable. Yeah, I'd fine. Yeah, so see what happened was I was under the impression that this was like...

I'm glad you're saying this. I was filling like a player box. Like say, I'm playing the finals of Wimbledon and I got a player box and I like bring a bunch of famous people to watch me play, you know? I'm sorry you misunderstood the draft. So I had like Tom Brokaw.

That'd be interesting. Tom Brokaw was shown on Why would you choose Tom Broca? That would be sick. Yeah, wouldn't that be sick? Tom Broca at anything would be sweet. Yes, thank you. Had Bill Murray call back.

He's in my player box. Jimmy Hoffa. Where you been? Stevie Wonder, I think would be interesting. Like when does he know how to applaud? Yeah, right, exactly. People will be watching the whole time. Yeah.

I guess fewer eyes on me. But still, that's interesting. How deep did that draft that's not happening go for you? Um, roughly a dozen names. Keep reeling them off. Hugh Jackman's in my box. Jeff Bridges is in my, is in my player box. Okay.

Uh, the, the, but go ahead, use the reasons that you were going to use. The, um, do the reasons. The artist, your friend, Nelly. Uh-huh. From St. Louis. Mm-hmm. All the lunatics could, could be there, too. He's one of my favorite artists.

I think the lunatics are asking my brothers? Probably. Yeah. And you're a pro tennis player in this fantasy? I'm a pro tennis player, yeah. Tom Hanks is in there. We have the same birthday, which is? July 9th. Yeah, nice. Your confidence was like seven out of ten there.

Well, you know, I was thinking about something else. Oh, okay. Selena Gomez, I don't really know her work. She's in the box, though. Mm-hmm. Is she going to be doing what she was? cheering for her on Twitter the other day. She showed up at a soccer game

and was yelling, I'm single. You got it. You want her to do that at Wimbledon for you? Sure, sure. Leonel Messi's in my box because you know, game recognized game. You want to have like a superstar in there. A good guy. Yeah. I like him.

Not taking any of that guillotine money. Morgan Freeman's in my box. If this was your box, they would not show the match. I know. But it's a cool box. It is. It is. All right,

that's my player box. Now. Dolph She's in my box. Oh, good. At an NBA finals game.

That's good. You know, Chat GPT was asked to create a list of the all-time greatest players in NBA history

and Dolph Shays was in the top 10. Really? Yep. And the rest of it looked pretty reasonable. Oh, JJ. Not your

against automation? Hmm. Me too. But on this one, I agree. Okay, let's start the draft. Who drew the first pick? I did. Okay.

Snake style. Congrats, Chris. Okay, I got to pull up my big board here. How did you know I was fourth? Huge big board. Huge big board. Number one pick in the... Still don't understand the draft.

Best band draft. I do think you're at this point, like being intentionally what's the word obtuse. Are you? Yeah, he is. Yeah, okay. Good. It was many hours ago where I was like, no, that's not really it.

I feel like that was his way of saying. I didn't look at this shit till 11 a.m. Although, can I, may I? Yeah, you may. And that was good content right there. Like, I agree. Morgan Freeman in your box would be fire. Thank you.

I think you, you text me, yeah, I'm with you. Boxer, court side section sounds fun. Yeah, but I was thinking comprised of like, actually the best fans ever. Yeah, I was thinking at the end of the draft, you'd be like, and if I could have my fans, I would choose Morgan Freeman. I was like, yeah, feel free to add on.

I won't play like the minute voice note where I explained the Wimbledon Player Box thing. Okay, you can play it. No, it's just not. I don't know what, I might have said some other things. This might be a better draft too. Yours. Yeah. Yeah.

Let's try it. I'm sure, yeah, let's do it. Okay. Yeah. Dharhenja Yokic Okay, it's The whole reason I was thinking about this draft You know

If you'll remember when I texted everybody about the draft And the concept of the draft last week It was, hey, these guys are electric You know, at the game Who are some of the best Fans ever to sit By a basketball game Or a football game?

These guys are imposing as shit Obviously they mix it up This guy's 6-9 Probably three bills, would you say 3 30? But like a good looking 3.30. He only is one of them, not both of them. Yeah.

Well, I'll take, that's why I said Shahenja. Yeah. Come on. You know, because the other guy is only 6'6. You know, there was a moment. Not as many tattoos. Yeah, I was like, you know, I wonder if that guy could just, if he could just take me. And I googled the specs and I was like, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. He might clear out the whole studio. Yeah. You know, Strahenja. After they won the Western Conference Finals, he picked Michael Malone up into the air as he was walking off the court. Like a baby.

Yeah. Do you say Mike or Michael? I say Michael. Yeah, Michael. He doesn't like Mike. He's my one-on-one, dude. One, two. I'm going Kevin Durant's mother.

Oh, that's good. Great pick. He got into it with PJ Tucker, so I would love to have Wanda Durant side, court side to be able to chirp back on my behalf. Good pick. Yeah. That's a good pick.

All right. I'm going to go. with fan man fan man otherwise known as James Miller what used to parachute in with a fan on his back to popular sporting oh yeah I remember this guy famously interrupted the bow holyfield to fight that be Riddick bow fan man yeah he had a like a red suit mm-hmm how did he do that that fight was obviously outside yeah I think he got up on the rafters and like all the way up at the top

and then yeah. Chris. So it's an indoor fight. Chris. Yeah. Riddick Bowes pregnant wife fainted from the sound of of popping lights. She thought they were gunshots. Had to be taken away in an ambulance because of fan man. Off the field issues for fan man?

A little bit. With the fourth pick, I'll take the one cat who started running around the bases with Hank Aaron. And with the fifth pick, I'll take the other cat who started running around the base. That's good. That's good. Can you imagine that happening the day?

It wouldn't happen. No, no. You know, the three of those guys hooked up later in life, not an Eskimo situation, but like everybody got back together and everybody was doing well. They checked up on one another. What an iconic trot around the bases. Yeah. Hank was probably like, ah, it was kind of like my thing.

Mm-hmm. Like 40 years from now, there's going to be a podcast, people talking about YouTube. Mm-hmm. and they're going to give those guys shine. Yeah. Okay, my pick. I saw this fan in the crowd at the Heat game in Game 4. Might look familiar to you here with the lovely heart-shaped outfit here.

It is. And that would be a Bella Danger. It is a Bella Danger. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. Who's she rooting for?

Oh, big Miami fan for Bella. Really? Yep. Die hard. Interesting. Who's Abela Danger? A Bella Danger is an adult film actress. And she is, I'd say, is she elite?

She's elite. She could box out most of those guards in the NBA. She could. But I just think she's good at what she does, and she likes basketball. Okay. I just spotted her relatively quickly there earlier. Yeah.

Like finding Waldo. That was the split second where you saw somebody on the screen. Okay. Yep. Where's Waldo? Number one overall pick for me and my I'm him draft. You may remember. Oh yeah, Waldo.

That was a draft that you got really good reviews for. I didn't. Well, I try not to read the feedback because of all of the means. I don't either because they're all wrong. Yeah. You know, who's to say we lost the draft? Right. I won every draft I've ever, you know.

Like my kid's baseball team Waldo though He thinks he wins every game That's because they don't keep scoring No I know Tells him they win I don't think people understood the Waldo thing Or appreciated enough

We did No we got it My second pick I am gonna roll with Charles Barkley Because you saw him get Very animated when UVA beat Auburn

The National semifinal That's a great cat cowboy But also get very excited When Villanova won the national championship on the buzzer beater. So I'm going to ensure that he, you know, put enough money on me or my team to be enthusiastic. That's really good. It's a great pick.

Good pick. Cowboy. Okay. Is it me? Yep. Okay. I'll take, I'll take Casey Wolfe. Okay?

Like you need a little muscle. You need somebody who's a little sketchy in your section. And I think he's probably the most unique sports fan in history when he's, you know, it comes to like, find me another bank robber that was that famous. It's the most 2,023 story ever. Yeah. Documentary waiting to be made. No, it's like the shit that's happening these days,

it's just to feed the entertainment industry. Like this guy's, he's a plant or something. This story is too fucking perfect. The other Yokich brothers there for you at 9. Yeah, I'm not going to take him. But that was, I like what you did with the two Aaron Runners. Yeah, you like, thank you. Okay, I'll take

Jack Nicholson. It's a good value at three. Somebody was going to take him. Yep. I don't know how he's doing. Kind of sits there. These days, but man, he is like synonymous with courtside fan.

It's him and Spike Lee. Yep. Put him on your big board. He's on it. Okay. Month ago, it was Nicholson's first, like, public appearance in maybe two years. And he looked pretty good. Now, here's what we're going to have.

Dude, the first night Jack gets in town, we're going to have to sit down with Strangenjich. And Jack, you're going to have to sit down and squash it because they kind of got into it during the playoffs. Yep. You know, Yokic was showing his ass, his big old ass a little bit. And Jack was like, who the fuck is this guy talking to me? Had no idea who it was, I don't think. Maybe he did. But they got to squash that beef so we can play together.

My third pick, I'm going Carmelo Anthony. At DeWade's final game, Carmelo ball bounces way. And he took a step on the court and did a little pump fake. So I need a fan that is going to bring a little levity. That was fun. A bit of energy. That was fun. You're going to have to explain that on the board that when you post a social.

Yeah, true. People are going to be like, oh, you didn't know, Reed, he's a player. You know who Jack probably thought that Strangenich was? He probably thought he was the guy in one flew over the cuckoo's nest. He probably thought he was back on the boat with Chief is what he called him. Yeah, the big guy. Oh, right, right, right. Yeah, he probably thought he was the giant.

I'm going to take John Gotti's grandkids. I don't know if you guys saw this exhibition fight between John Gotti the 3rd and Floyd Mayweather. John Gotti the 3rd got disqualified. A brawl ensued. And today, allegedly, John Gotti's grandkids, are threatening Floyd Wayweather and his family. No way. Allegedly.

Wow, dude. How much security can you have? One time I was in Hawaii and I was stumbling back to my hotel. And fucking five SUVs full of big dudes rolled through. Almost hit me with their cars. I haven't gotten to the lawsuit part of this. But it was Floyd Mayweather in his entourage. And I'm thinking to myself, like, you probably need 25 of those SUVs now.

You know, the Gatties, they don't play. Anyways, he's not going to fight you. We're just going to give them all the grandkids? No, yeah, take them all. I mean, it's the Gotties. It was like 40 years ago. And ask the kids, how are you doing? What's it like being a Gaudy kid?

Right. All right, I'm going to take Oral Roberts. Okay, settle in. In 1987, during a fundraising drive, Oral Roberts announced a television audience that unless he raised $8 million by March, God would, quote, call him home, end quote. However, the year before on Easter, he told a gathering at the Dallas Convention Center that God had instructed him to raise the money, quote, by the end of the year, or he would die. Regardless of this new March deadline and the fact that he was still $4.5 million short of his goal, some were few. that he was referring to suicide, given the impassioned pleas and tears that accompanied his statement. Late in March, 1987, while Roberts was fasting and praying in his prayer tower,

Florida dog track owner Jerry Collins donated $1.3 million. Highly worried from what he perceived as Roberts threatening to starve himself, Collins said, quote, I did it in order to save the guy from going to heaven in a hurry. It's got nothing to do with religion. I've been a Baptist and a Methodist. I believe in religion and not just the church. You have to help one another. altogether Roberts raised a total of $9.1 million.

Now Roberts, Oral Roberts here, he once claimed to have had a vision from a 900 foot tall Jesus who told him to build City of Faith Medical and Research Center. Can you believe that? Time reported once that his son, Richard Roberts, claimed he had seen his father, Oral, raise a child from the dead. Wait, Oral's son is named Dick?

Yeah. Huh! No, that's the lead. That's the whole lead here. I'm sorry. Oral Roberts sounds like a red phone guy, 900 foot Jesus. Big fan of God, money, creates a school,

Oral Roberts making runs in the NCAA tournament into the College World Series, all because this guy, Oral Roberts and his hustle and his thirst, this Oral Roberts. Next up, Paulina Gretzky. Now, she supports this, Dustin Johnson, he's a golfer.

She's out there every weekend and daughter of Wayne Gretzky, the great one. That's up. That's it? Okay. All right, I'm going to take Megan Rapino, wife of Sue Bird.

If Megan Rapino is your fan, she will say that you had perhaps the greatest career of any athlete ever. What do you mean wife of Sue Bird? Hmm. Whoa. Sue Bird's wife? her fiance yikes

whoa no she's just Megan Rapino and doesn't need Sue Byrd Megan Rapino no his WNBA fan yikes yikes

you want me to pick again if you be I'll back it up let's back that up the police coming to get you all right I think your team's on the floor your pick's head

No, no, no. I'm taking Jim Redmond. Do you guys remember? You just deleted Megan Rapino. What? Was she not good enough? Is she not good enough for you, Matt? I'll stick with Megan Rapino. I think she's a great fan. We're just kidding on you. Yeah.

Because you know you're not supposed to say like wife of. Like if you were like Megan Long, wife of Chris Long, you know, it's like faux pa player. But it might be okay because they're both ladies. We were just being hysterical. That's all it was. Yeah, we were just fucking cutting it up in class, making people in the car laugh. All right. I read you're up.

I want, as my next pick, I'm going to go barrel man. Fuck! Yeah. 30 years in a barrel with... Unreal. All those elements up there. The altitude, the whole thing, no clothes, just a barrel. And, you know, when I was growing up, I was like...

Naked, but yeah. Yeah. I was growing up, I was like, man. the Broncos, we don't have much. You know, I was a little too young to remember the Super Bowls. But every time I'd see Barrow Man, I'd say, we have something. We have Barrow Man. Tim McKernan.

Yep. The man. That's a great pick. That's your best pick. Oh, I'm up. Bolt Man. Oh, nice. Bolt Man.

Testified in front of City Council was actually on the field. He's the only mascot that really was a fan. He wasn't even getting paid. and in fact he sued the chargers because he was like, hey, I was supposed to be getting paid, you know? Kind of like the guy that helps you with your bag in a foreign country. Like, hey, I'm just helping you with your bag, man, or, oh, the guy that gives you directions in a foreign country. Oh, it kind of follows you, tells you where, and then they're like, that'll be $10.

I didn't know this was a transaction. That's what the chargers are saying. Now, Boltman is saying, hey, I was rendering a service and you guys didn't pay me. Neither here nor there. He's one of the best fans in NFL history. Got him in the fourth round. Nice pick. Yeah.

Job, Chris. Get to go again. Let me see. Let me see who it is. Who's going to be the fifth pick here? Hmm. Man, this might be a reach. I'll take Rob Lowe.

You know, he wants everybody to win. He'd be great in my, in my, in my, luxury box, keep the vibes up. No matter who you're rooting for, you can sit with Rob Lowe. He's got a lot of mileage out of that hat.

Yeah, he has. Born in Virginia. Charlottesville. Yeah. Right? Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah, then he said,

I'm blowing this popsicle saying. He's never been back. He doesn't run through McIntyre Park like Dave Matthews. I am or I'm not eligible. You are eligible. You are eligible. I think yourself would be an interesting move. Yeah, it was.

Yeah. I'm going to go. That's the second time I've done that cowboy. I'm so sorry. All good. I'm so sorry. But I just wanted to say on the official Virginia baseball account of the Saturday win, the fourth photo I'm featured more or less.

Yeah, but have you been on Sports Illustrated cover as a fan of Virginia sports? Nah. Me, Heath. We weren't even like named. We were just way in the background. It was really cool. It was cool. It was very cool.

Hey, you know, you interrupting him and you're like the Taco Bell commercial with Yokich getting drafted. As you know, there was a Taco Bell commercial on with Yokish got drafted. I didn't know that. Oh, imagine that. You interrupted me, interrupting me. You're kind of like the Taco Bell commercial.

Yokish got more? You got more on this? No, but if you go, you can see, you're making a more of a case for me to pick you is what you're trying to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll show, I'll show Chris the picture. You can see him. He clear his day.

All right, go ahead. Not enough to sway me. I'm going to Stefan Schaffley. He's Zander. Shafle's father. He was a former decathlete that was going to the going to the Olympics.

His son won the Olympic gold medal. He went viral for his hair, a nice, great ponytail, and he's walking around smoking a cigar. And just being a boisterous, gregarious fan. Okay.

Matt is looking up somebody else. Oh, I just wanted you guys to be able to see this picture. I'm going to pick Jim Redmond. I don't know if you guys remember in the 19292 Olympics. His son I believe his name was Derek. David. Derek.

Whatever. injured and the dad popped down and helped him across the finish line. Man, that's a good pick. Who's going to say man, he lost the draft on that pick? Nobody. Now Megan Rapino.

How do you see this? Virginia wins the game. They say we'll see you tomorrow at noon, right? You want to scroll to the fourth picture? Uh-huh. Bam, there's your boy. That's you. That's right there. Look at you.

That's right in the middle. That's you. Uh-huh. Orange and blue. All right. Okay. Hey, Bill Murray, he's a big Cubs fan, right? Oh, yeah, that's true.

I'm taking Bill Murray. He seems taking me out to the ball game at Wrigley, and he cares. And then you'll find him supporting his son, who I believe is a college hoops assistant coach at various spots. I think Xavier was a stop for that guy. Yep. And he was there. He was there often. Bill Murray, big sports fan.

Another big sports fan. Hey, you love college sports. I love you. Ashley Judd, Kentucky Hoops. She's a super fan. Not quite the reaction I was after. Welcome to our world. Ashley Judd is the pick.

All right, I'm going to make a pick, and you guys tell me if it's allowed or not, you can veto it. The You Can Do It guy from the Waterboy. Rob Schneider. Yeah, well. Fan. I like it.

So was the guy in Major League. Now this opens up a whole other portal. I was saving it till the back half. Back half? You can veto it. Jesus Christ. No, you know what? Fuck it.

We'll let you live. All right. And I'm going in similar fashion as a previous pick. I'm going to go Kate Upton. She's fiery. She'll mix it up with other fans. supportive Kate Upton on my squad. Nice.

Yeah, okay. I see where you're going, Matt. I'll go Randy Quaid as Johnny in Major League. Yeah, that came crumbling down on you. Good pick. Thank you. Love it. And your second pick.

Oh, my second pick. Oh, my second pick? Oh, my second pick? Yeah. I'll go Morgana, the Kissing Bandit. If you guys are familiar with Morgana, she was a talented young lady, lived in the Houston metro area, I believe, and she would run onto the baseball field and kiss the players.

Now, you can't imagine that happening in today's game because that chick would probably get tackled by, like form tackled, by a security guard in a yellow jacket, but back in the day, they just let her run around kissing people. It was like entertainment. She kissed Nolan Ryan, kiss Pete Rose, Kiss Johnny Bench. Are these guys Eskimo brothers?

George Brett twice. Came back for seconds with George Brett. Steve Garvey, Len Baker, and Cal Ripkin Jr. She even crashed an NBA game and got Kareem. And I think she needed like an easy lift. But wouldn't it be something if she like... You say she got Kareem? Kareem.

Yeah. Well, wouldn't it be some of she gave Kowriffin like Mono or something and broke his streak. Yeah. Something like that. So Morgana, deep in the draft, she's a diamond in the rough. Word.

I'm going to go, Eugene. I was looking for. I want to just start saying that every time I talk. Eugene Morose. He, he is the originator of the beer snake,

1969 in Chicago. He started with his two sons. and uh that's good that is a really good pick that's who i want they were 10 and 12 years old at the time oh nice nice well i yeah all right i'm gonna take uh kathy lee the wrestling mom that broke her glasses after her son spencer lee lost yeah like i respect her passion yeah she's a deal with lens craft you know lins crafters whatever All right. So you know how there have been a couple fictional selections here?

Listen to this. Guys got one day where he can do whatever he wants, takes in a ball game. All right. I like that. And he's associated with one article of clothing. It's a Gordy Howe hockey jersey. My pick is Cameron Frye. Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Please clap. Thank you. Thank you. Next pick because we're still doing this. Yeah? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay.

Okay, I'll stay fictional. Elaine Bennett. No, fuck you. Didn't take off her Orioles ball cap. Oh, that was my next pick. She was in Steinbrenner's box. You're not a Seinfeld guy. It's an incredible pick.

I know who Elaine is. I can't laugh at the thing that I didn't see. From Baltimore wearing an Orioles hat. Yeah. And Steinbrenner's box refuses to take off the Orioles hat. Yeah. Almost gets George fired, I believe. That's right.

Good show. That's a good bit. That's a good bit. People should do that more often. Yeah. Keep their hat on. Regis just jumped into the dock to correct the spelling of Eugene Marrose. That's why I love to the question.

Yeah. I appreciate it. Round 11. All right. I'm going to take Brazilian poker fans. I know you guys aren't poker people, but at the World Series of Poker, the Brazilians bring the party,

they bring the women, and they bring the noise. Oh, yeah? Just in general. You can only draft one of them, though. Yeah, seriously. We draw the line at the goddy grandchildren. Okay, if I can't pick an entire fandom group,

I'm going to pick a fortune from the movie Rudy. Okay. If you remember... I love how the draft turned to a fictional fan. And draft. Halfway through. Do you remember this guy who claps for him at the end as he makes the play? Fucking love fortune.

Iconic. Iconic Jif. How many more rounds are we going? We have two more picks. Read than you and you. More picks. Okay. I'm going to go.

This one's, I can go. Is my last big coming up? Yep. Did I go fictional or a legit person? Well, actually, this person is based on a real-life person. I'm going Bill Swerski. Chicago Bears Superfiel. fan from SNL.

Uh, yeah. Very good. That's a very good pick. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. You know who said please clap?

I do. It's a Jeb Bush. Jeb Bush. That's right. So can we go two more? Yeah. Oh yeah. Let's go two more.

Okay. I'm going to take Bartman. Okay. Because I love Bartman, dude. I just, uh, something about him. He needs a hug.

I'll give him a hug, man. Love the guy. I would love. Love Bartman. to sit in the box with all these great people. And I'll tell Yokic, like, anybody fucks with them, you just beat them up, okay? So, yeah, I like Bartman.

That'd be a great, I feel like Buddy Gop movie. Yeah, yeah. Bartman and striking. You're up. Oh, I'm up. Yeah. I do have two. Okay.

The two girls that said, we suck your dick in high school at a Bruins game. I love that. I love that these gals had, well, to be fair, he said, Reed's going to pick,

and then you're going to pick and we're done. Okay, but then you said, can we get two more? Yeah. And then he said, yeah, sure.

Okay, and then you made it's a snake draft. Yeah, snake draft. Okay. So these gals ran down to the, well, they had seats down there,

I guess, um, right on the, the, boards and they had a sign that said, hey, Tyler, number 19, we sucked your weenet, your weeness in high school. Do you remember us? And that is just, that's amazing. That is. You know, wonder if it's true. Do you think it's true? Yeah. How could you make that up? They're just getting a lot now. The player was, he was like smiling and I think there's a picture of him like pointing.

And they're legitimately Eskimo sisters because it's cold and it's cold in the arena and they, they're on the ice and they're Eskimo sisters. My final pick is Peyton Manning. You see him all over Monday night, the Manning cast. He just wants a good game. He wants everybody, you know,

similar to Rob Lowe. Yes. But you also saw him cheering on Eli Manning getting animated. Peyton Manning. Yep. He's on the squad. If I had the next pick, I'd take Harvey up.

Okay, you're such a motherfucker, aren't you? Because Matt just flashed it up. He's going to win the draft with a Harvey Updike pick. He's not going to take it yet somebody else. No, he's confused. We're in his head.

You're going to give him Harvey Updike? Now he doesn't know who's fucking about. I'm trying to make sure I knew how to spell his name. Everybody online is going to be like, oh, making great draft, Harvey Updike in the tent. Oh, come on. Why got to hate on me? Because he's not your pick. And you'll do this from time to time.

Be, you'll straight face take somebody's stuff. Be smart, funny, entertaining? Stuff taker. I would argue that Harvey Updike shouldn't be counted because he committed, he broke the law. Yeah. As a fan. That's the only I agree with you, he killed a tree, and I'm not cool with that, so I'm not going to take him. I'm going to take,

God, I'm so close between these two guys. That's what she said. All right. I'm taking Denzo Washington. I wanted to take Shannon Sharp a little bit because he, like, threatened violence against T. Morant and stood up to Stephen Adams, but Denzo, Washington is the most underrated NBA

fan of all time. He's at all the Lakers games. Everybody talks about Jack Nicholson, Denzel has next. Sick, Harvey Updike. Fuck you, God. Awesome. He's just such a... Awesome.

What a feeling to win a draft with the final thing. I don't think it should count. It shouldn't count. He literally broke the law. Well, I don't think it should count because it's Matt's pick. Right. He's reading Matt's board. No, his first two picks were guy with Hank Aaron won and guy with Hank Aaron 2. I just can't stomach him getting credit for your stuff.

And that's why he's taking it. bro he had the ability to take harvey updike and pass yeah you're right come on man yeah i got i got two eyes up here i didn't i didn't i didn't i didn't fucking what what the fuck you know if if you didn't take harvey up dyke who would you take putty we're the devils the guys so i want an honorable mention the georgia bulldogs fan uh mike big dog woods the guy was covered in in white yeah and it looked like cocaine because he's He was so excited. Yeah.

Jen Sturger, AJ McCarron's girlfriend, and then Steph Curry Lady from game two of the finals. Yeah. Yeah. We drafted Barrow Man. We did not draft Fireman, Ed. Shout out Fireman, Ed. It's a little played out.

Spike Lee. Alice at the Palace participants. That's, yeah, see, that's good. Okay. Hope everybody has a great day. And we'll be back later. in the week. Y'all take care.
