This is a true story.
I told Bill Parsett.
I said, Bill, if Sundays are like that, I can't play in this league.
Friday.
Katie, Texas.
Hello.
Katie, Texas, huh?
Birthplace of Y2K Hooper Adam Hall who jumped out of gyms.
Oh, yeah.
You know Katie?
I knew Katie because of Adam Hall.
And now I know Katie because of the Chicago Bears franchise quarterback.
none other than Andy Dalton.
It's the birthplace of Andy Dalton.
I feel like a place like that you actually just fuck around a name at Dalton, Texas, right?
It's like 5,000 people live there.
The Red Rocket.
Also, Clint Black.
Oh, the boogeyman.
Yeah, I had no, I didn't know that nickname.
But he's country gold.
Yeah, it's not a nickname.
It's my nickname.
He's who I, literally, when I had nightmares as a kid, the boogeyman was Clint Black's face.
Really?
Yeah, now I can't.
Is he hideous?
I can't look at the guy.
No, a fine looking guy.
Fine looking guy.
So how did that happen?
I don't know.
I probably saw him on TV once.
It got into my head pictures.
And then I had nightmares about the boogeyman.
Oh, yeah, we've looked at a picture of Clint Black before for some reason.
I had no idea he was from Katie Texx.
Squirly looking cat.
What if I'd have played along and been like, yeah, that's right, the boogeyman.
Could have been awkward.
Kept it real.
And who was Katie?
You ask?
Yeah, who was Katie?
Well, Katie, legend has it, was the name of the saloon owner's wife along the railroad stop.
Now, the railroad men called it Katie.
So you figure out the rest.
Ooh.
Damn, are you researching the hellos?
Yeah, dude, I'm trying to put my twist on your thing to, I want to accentuate it.
I like it.
You know, I want to support it.
Hey, speaking of a Katie, I'd be remiss if I didn't wish my lovely friend Meg a happy birthday.
You really did that too, me.
He really did that to me.
He birthday wish cucked me.
Oh, do you know somebody with a birthday today as well?
Today, your today is my lovely wife's birthday.
Oh.
But there was this-
That is who I was referencing.
But there was a whole thing about my lovely mother turned like 40 this month.
She was five when she had you.
Right.
And it was a wholesome thing.
Um, immaculate. It was immaculate, uh, a reception, whichever one you. Both really. Yeah,
merged. Yeah. So, um, but she, she turned redacted earlier this month and I was doing a podcast on her
birthday. It was my today. Uh, it was your yesterday as a listener. And I got all fucked up and I didn't
think to wish her, you know, and she ironically is the one who listens to the podcast. So I want to do you a huge
favorite mom and I'm wishing you a happy birthday on my lovely wife's birthday wow because meg won't listen
meg's not going to listen wife alert okay well we also need to wish the goat recording artist
and we talk about the warm i really just forget where you were going kenny chestney march the 26
52 53 years old lady gaga uh march 28th and she has a great birthday
Oh, happy birthday to you, Chris, on Sunday.
Let's all sing.
Let's all sing.
Are you going to be 36?
36. 36 mafia, bro.
That feels like no offense.
The big number.
Old, big old number.
You know what's funny about age?
I gauge it on the way I thought of my parents when they were turning that age.
You know what I mean?
And honestly, now my parents act so young.
I'm not even afraid of 60.
Yeah, word.
You know what I'm saying?
Like it was scary to think.
Like I used to sit around and think like, oh, I'm turning 34.
That's how old my dad was.
And he seemed like such an adult, but I'm so immature.
Yeah.
I gauge it in terms of professional athletes.
You probably don't because you were one once upon a time.
But now I'm like I would be, well, perhaps retired.
I got to say, you would be right at 36.
Like LeBron is like our age.
Unless you're Terrence Newman, who played corner in the National Football League until he was like 39.
Right.
I got to say, Lady Gaga, it's a hell of a person to share a birthday with.
And I know she probably feels the same about me.
So shout out to Lady Gaga.
You know, I've got OJ Simpson.
Hello, Twitter World.
Do you really?
Yeah.
The juice and I.
Oh, my God.
Share a day.
That's terrible.
Allegedly.
Can we move on?
Please.
Because I hate birthdays.
I mean, I love my lovely wife's birthday and my lovely mother's birthday, but mine not so much.
Okay.
Who cares?
Hey.
Layup line.
Layup line, dude.
What a great thing we got going.
That was, uh, that was, uh, I want to refrain from saying bangered everyone, but you're really rolling out the hits there.
Dude, was that the best layup line warm up song we've had yet.
Just from start to finish, it was brought.
Yeah, it's called Mo City Don.
And say it again?
By zero.
Z-R-O, zero, Mo City, Don.
Came out in like 2005 when I was in school,
and the first time I heard it,
I said, I don't care what kind of music this guy makes
for the rest of his life.
I'm going to be following this guy.
This is like one of the most intense five minutes
in music history.
Zero.
The Crooked.
Okay.
How many people out of 10
are going to know that tune?
Hmm.
ages 20 to 40.
I don't know.
It'll be interesting.
I worry that our listeners might not know it.
Okay.
But you should know it.
And that reminds me we've got a Spotify account popping up here.
I have no idea what we're calling it.
Cowboy Read, you set it up, right?
Yep, Greenlight Music's the account.
And then we'll have a couple playlists on there.
Greenlight Layup line is our first playlist through a couple songs in there.
It'll be linked in the show description.
So when you go down, you scroll through our timestamp.
on whatever platform you listen to show on,
you'll see Spotify link for Greenlight Layup Line.
And that's us.
That'll be songs curated by Chris and the Beanie Bros here,
throwing in some hot tracks, some good music.
So make sure you're checking that out and listening,
and also give it a follow,
and suggest other songs that we should throw in the Greenlight Music.
Yeah, well, the second Beanie Bro,
he has an amazing catalog of music
that I'm sure he wants to,
wants to share with you.
So I'm sure Macon will have his playlist.
That'll be up here shortly.
I don't know.
Is it going to be merged?
They're going to be the same?
No.
So like Spotify.
Right.
You know it.
I do.
You know,
you can put a bunch of playlist.
Your playlist,
I figure,
will be one spot.
Mine will be another spot.
I just don't want like band music with my like.
So we're going to add like one a week and then can we see who listens to more?
So here's what that.
That's a good twist.
Here's what we're doing though.
We're going to have a layup line list.
So any layup line,
you know like when we're 65 years old doing this podcast that's a lot of songs like this is going to be
one hell of a playlist playlist if you will um we're also going to have like if we shout out a new
artist or somebody that we really like we will pop a playlist up there today uh i'm going to shout
out israel nash uh who just put out an album last week topaz topaz is a sick name i've like topaz is one of those
I think precious gemstones or precious metals.
Topaz is one that gives you good vibes.
And this is a good vibes album.
Israel Nash, if you followed him for a while,
he's been putting out great music for like over a decade.
But this is a good new album.
Check him out.
Playlists that might introduce you to said artists will be there
as you're listening to this right now.
As well as, I got to throw Brian Jonestown mask
on there.
making you know brian jones town massacre right
holy shit
i was just saying that because i had no idea
they existed like
to the degree that they do
to the degree of excellence that they do
brian jones town massacre is an amazing band
and i found them
well i found them because i like this one song anemone
but after that thing that happened a couple weeks ago
it felt like with the uva basketball team
it's been a while we're on
of Masters. I was sitting on the toilet with the McAllen 15 and listened to music. I went down
a Brian Jones Town massacre rabbit hole and I got to tell you, this might be the best band
that I find latest in life. I don't want to be a prisoner in the moment. You be the judge.
There'll be a playlist. How long do you take in there? You know, this is going to be a wild
admission.
But sometimes I'll just go sit in there to be alone with both seats down, you know, late at night.
That's fair.
Yeah.
Listen to some music.
It's too loud like in the sitting room outside of my bedroom.
And I don't feel like walking downstairs.
So I almost wish sometimes like that I had some sort of a dual seating situation in there.
Lazy boy slash toilet, convertible lazy.
boy toilet. If somebody would come out with that, you're going to be a rich man.
Folks, when the sitting room outside your bedroom isn't enough, go to the lazy boy toilet.
It's like watching the kitchen TV. You know, like people get these big, beautiful open air,
you know, kitchen and living room, you know. An open floor plan. That people are into that, right?
Yeah, the great room. The great room. The great room. You sell a lot of great rooms? Oh, yes.
And they're great. Oh. But people don't watch as much TV.
being there. I found myself the first time we had a nice big house, like, you know, the house that
thank God for you, we found it. Oh, hey, it was an honor to work on your behalf. A lot of special
memories in that house and everything was as advertised, really nice. The great room was great,
but we would watch the kitchen TV, you know what I mean? Like, so, you know, I do the same thing in my
parents' house. Super nice, nice big room over there. I'll be sitting on the kitchen table with my feet
on the chair watching a game. Same thing. You got a sitting room. Toilets pretty comfortable.
Let's do shoutouts. Okay. Um, first off, shout out to a new bopper. Big bopper. Oh, who is it?
Oh, he's a big bopper now. Baller of the program. Two weeks into trying a new like thing,
you got to remind people what that means, the acronym. It's any player that listens this podcast.
Pat Ricard. Nice. Yeah, dude. He, uh,
He comments on a lot of our content.
I think Pat's a big fan of yours.
Literally a big fan of yours.
Used to be a D-Lyman, and they stole him from the D-Line.
I think he went to Ruckers, yeah.
He was a 300-plus pounder, right?
Yeah.
And he cut down to a Svelte 280, probably could see his abs.
And he just mows people down on the field.
Like he's one of the last true fullbacks.
And that's the thing about D-Lyman,
especially White D-T tackles.
What did he play?
He went to Maine.
Maine, it's okay.
Maine Ruckers.
It's all good.
He's a bopper, dude.
We'll figure it out along the way.
Well, I don't...
Oh, he went to Maine, the home of Matthew Mulligan.
The Black Bears.
He's going to be in the Hall of Fame like Molly.
He's going to be in the Maine Hall of Fame.
So he was up at Maine.
He was a D-Limon.
He was a white D-Tackle.
I always warned people about this.
Actually, later in the show,
let me lay the show out.
First off, we got swag.
This is a very D-Lined dominated pod.
Swagoo from NFL on ESPN, from, you know, get up,
from like, you turn your TV on, this guy's on your TV now.
He's gonna be on in a little bit.
And we're gonna talk D-Line, play, all types of stuff.
And after him, we're gonna be joined by my old friend,
my old teammate, Bo Allen, who I don't think you guys have ever met, have you?
Not in person.
Fast friends though.
Well, actually.
Super Bowl.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We have.
Next to the word gregarious in the dictionary.
You got Bo Allen.
But Bo is the type of guy, lifetime, very good, very underappreciated, de-tackle.
But he's a white guy.
And, like, you know, like, he kind of looks like a guard sometimes.
Whenever they find a guy, whether it's a three-four body type defensive end or a detackle,
who's a run-stopper in an increasingly like pass-rush game, honestly, though, he was a pretty
fucking good pass-rusher.
They always try to recruit you over to offense.
And I used to tell Beau, be careful.
The first thing to do is like, hey, can you come give us some looks on offense?
Like put a penny on and just act like your Pat Ricard.
Well, at one point, Pat Ricard was acting like he was somebody else,
and then he became somebody else.
Pat Ricard was so good at scout team at one point that they just said stay here.
It's like Dustin Hoffman and Tutsi.
Don't get the reference.
Movie?
Yeah, it's a movie.
Should see it?
No.
Out of the turntables.
But yeah, so
anyways,
Pat Ricard is a dog.
I love watching him play,
and he's a bopper.
What if he just likes our socials
and doesn't listen to the podcast?
That'd be the funniest shit
if we were just claiming boppers
because they comment.
I think that might qualify,
frankly.
Yeah.
It's fair.
Oh, that is fair.
It's fair as fuck.
All right, so
today or Sunday is
328. I got a shout out my Patriots fans that might listen to this podcast. We are a very
Philly dominated podcast. People are well aware of that. But I know we got some Boston people.
So all 75 of you up there in Boston that are still following what I'm doing, I appreciate you.
And 328 is obviously a holiday for more reasons than one. 28 to 3 was the deficit. Remind people
how that day went down for you. Because that's what's important. How did it go down from
making Gunter.
Oh, well, what do you mean?
I went down super.
I went to the wrong seat.
That was the part.
I went to the wrong seat and I found my right seat at NRG Stadium roundabout 283.
Yeah, and things changed.
Things changed.
Next star guy, Biscuit.
Had a couple gray hairs there because you couldn't read a fucking ticket.
Well, I've shown you the picture.
It was a bit confusing for somebody to Bud Lights and do his super
Bowl Sunday.
It is confusing though.
Super Bowl Sunday can be overwhelming.
It's like Section 653 go up, arrow.
Section 553, the down arrow.
I'm down there in the field.
Dante Hightower is barking, calls at me like a millisecond before the ball snap, some
adjustment.
It's the same thing as what you're going through up there in the stands.
Well, you figure your guys on the team, you're probably looking at section two or three,
but no, it was 553.
And with all those numbers and arrows, it was confusing.
I appreciate you finding your seat.
if you didn't and we lost that game,
I probably would have been the type of guy that
that, like, hated his puppy or something
later in life.
Don't want to be that guy. You don't want to be that guy.
I love my puppy very much.
Shout out to the doghouse, 2G's,
Seaville, Groomer.
I dropped the rabbit off the other day.
I said, here's Zoe.
My man said, Zoe Rabbit.
How about that?
Friend of the program.
What did you feel?
Did you feel a little adrenaline rush?
Because somebody like, your dog was famous?
It was literally the coolest thing that's ever happened.
And it would have been way less cool if he had said,
oh, are you on the thing?
I got to say.
Because the rabbit got the shine.
I'm with you because one time,
and I'm not one up in you because that's a momentous thing.
It was, yeah, thank you.
But when we were in St. Louis,
there was a Purina thing they were running.
And me and James Laronitis and a couple guys,
they put us on the side of the stadium.
Remember, we were like 100 feet tall.
And our dogs were like 15 to 20 feet tall.
And I was like, man,
everybody that's stuck in traffic by the Drury Inn has to look at my dog's dick.
It's the coolest thing in the world.
Like my dog is just king shit right now.
So I just like shout out to our dogs.
And shout out to Willie and Zoe Rabbit.
Don't even know how you got there or we got there, but we shouted out our dogs.
I just want to say this.
My life is different now.
I will never be the same.
Okay.
I have a door, yeah, I know, a door has unlocked in my universe that cannot be shut.
I rearrange my office.
Talk to me about what you felt when you walked into my office today.
I felt calm.
I felt like things were in order.
I felt good, I guess, would be a word.
Yeah, the desk used to be in the fucking corner, dude.
I'm a very symmetrical straight line person and you had a floating desk.
I had a floater.
I was living catty cornered my first two years of retirement.
That's wild.
Like people, I mean, it's admirable to like land on your feet in a good place, you know,
coming out of the NFL.
I mean, retirement's hard.
It's hard enough if you're living like parallel or perpendicular.
I was living catty cornered.
my question is when the desk arrived
why did you say hey fellas right there's good
because I got a nice big window that would be
in a catty cornered scenario right over my right shoulder
I just barely turn my neck and at that point my neck wasn't turning real well
like right out of football so I just figured like hey it's really nice
and then they started building an enormous building outside
which you knew about to be fair which I knew about you know my real estate agent
disclosed that I said no I'm good
I said, going to have a catty corner desk.
It's not going to dominate my view, but like over my right shoulder.
And then eventually I was like, what's going on in this office, dude?
And now how do you feel?
I feel better, dude.
I feel better.
Reed feels better.
John feels better.
Shout out to those guys.
Also, Reed, tremendous.
Reed's had a two-week period, huh?
Reid has been bawling out.
He's been getting buckets every night.
He's been emceeing this thing.
He's been...
Reed's feeling the feng shui in my office.
It was a lot better the other day.
I walked in, we were cleaning it up,
felt a little more at ease.
Reed helped me clean it.
He gets the major assist on the office, dude.
I mean, we were picking things up off the floor that just shouldn't have been there.
And they weren't food items, but it was like it looked like hoarders in there.
So, Fung Shui, don't let it get away from you.
Guys, we got basketball again this weekend.
Again.
Glad for it.
Great a sporting event there is.
Give me an upset.
I can only find one as far as Vegas is concerned,
and that's the Florida State Seminoles over the Michigan Wolverines.
And the way they're playing,
probably not a frail limb either,
but Loyola to the final four.
Loyola gets two more dubs this weekend.
At what point do people say like,
okay loyal is actually good
and we're not going to judge them like a mid-major
I think we're saying it after this past weekend
right I mean they just
they ran their stuff
hard and well
they'll never be underseated again will they
now they get overseeded
I don't think so
you don't think so I mean Kim Pom had them
is like a top 10 team in the country
and they got eight
I know but this really just like
this kind of twist the knife
like they're actually good
Yeah, I see
Let me call you an upset here
Look out Wu Pig
Oral Nation
I don't hate it
Arkansas
Very high ceiling
Lower floor than you might like
At this point in the tournament
I well
Might have been the officials more than Arkansas
But they came close to giving away that Texas Tech game
They were on the wrong side of a lot of calls
But they have stretches
They have stretches where they're a bit out of control
I don't hate that call
Yeah, I'm going, I'm going oral.
So we were going to do a thing today where we reseed.
And by the way, like looking at this thing, which day is the best day I make?
I mean, like, I would like for it to be Saturday, closer to my birthday, big birthday guy.
Because Sunday you're going to be all hungover.
I might be hungover.
I might get drunk Saturday night.
Lukewarm take, I hope.
None of these matchups are terribly sexy, so I'm just going to rely on the madness.
I couldn't tell you which day I prefer.
Okay.
Saturday's the right side.
Baylor Nova, Arkansas, ORU, Loyola, Oregon State, Syracuse, Houston.
Sunday, Gonzaga is going to just like pulverize, and I haven't used that word in a long time, pulverize.
But that could be fun too.
That could be 30 plus points.
I'm not really into that.
Okay.
I'm into the underdog.
Florida State, Michigan.
That'll be good.
Yeah, that'll be good.
I'm starting to come around on like rooting for Michigan a little bit.
it. Okay, welcome.
Joanne Howard seems awesome. And you know what? UCLA, man, your guy?
Johnny, uh, Zhu Zhang. I know it's, it's a sore subject for a lot of Virginia fans
as you pointed out the other day, but like his vibes and there's an 11. And the Pack 12's fun.
You want to see him prosper. But here's the thing. What? Little known fact. UCLA stinks.
I know. They stink. I know. I know, but do you really want to see another SEC? Like,
this is the year of the SEC teams.
The SEC in the PAC 12, dude.
It's the weirdest year in college basketball history.
I mean, there's not that much of an SEC presence.
I think it'll be a really fun elite eight.
Dude, you've got two, like, teams that have huge weight rooms in this thing.
Like, they have, like, Bama is just a football school.
What's it doing here?
Arkansas.
I mean, they're a basketball school, I guess, because their football is kind of trash.
But, like, I don't remember Arkansas being that good except for, like, in, like,
1995.
40 minutes of hell.
Nolan Richardson.
Yeah.
Scoreless, Corliss Williamson.
Corliss Williamson.
Yeah.
That was the final four with flat top guy from Oklahoma State,
UCLA, and UNC.
Okay.
Arkansas knocked us out.
That's about as far as I go.
That was an elite game.
So let's reseed it based on uniforms.
So 2021 uniforms and you have set it up one through 16 and you've given me a sweet 16.
I'm choosing from those teams, right?
bracket. I'm filling out the bracket.
Yeah. And you might not agree with the seating, but tough cookies.
Squads, squads don't agree with seating all the time. Yeah. And in fact, Loyola might have
gotten the snub once again because my 11-16 is the UCLA Bruin uni at one and Loyola, Chicago
at 16. Now Loyola in my mind is not far from being right. It's got the script. So close.
Unfortunately, it just has that like cleave, that new Cleveland Cavalier.
alternate thing the numbers too dark there's a lot ring's too dark it's a lot wrong with this
uniform like i'm not even going to be i'm not even mad like this isn't a travesty like ohio being
a 13 they should have been at least a six or at least a one yeah like this is loyal as uniforms
you don't even need to to pimp this thing out i know your budget's not big but you're throwing a
fucking boxing patch on your shorts it looks like i'm watching friday night fights and
You've got these arrows.
What are these arrows?
They remind me of like a video game.
You drive over them, you go faster.
Aren't they pointing?
Aren't the arrows pointing to an L,
which is appropriate for this exercise?
Talk about the biggest try hard uniform of all time.
You guys don't need to be like this.
Everybody loves you.
Just keep it player, man.
Keep it player.
You got a script thing going.
You got good colors.
Golden gophers.
You guys could run the golden gophers out of the gym.
Agreed.
Okay.
8.9.
This is going to be tough for you because we've got two very similar unies.
Houston Cougars, the eight, Alabama Crimson Tide the nine.
Not only similar unies, but similar colors.
Houston and crimson and the crimson tide.
Okay.
This is sort of the sterile Nikeification of basketball unies.
Well, listen, if that A in Alabama is not the most country-ass symbol of all,
all time and just doesn't drive with basketball for me.
Like,
oh,
we play some pickup down on the farm.
Like, that's the vibe I get, which doesn't happen, right?
And they've got busy shorts.
Now, Houston might not have enough going on.
Okay, Alabama.
I've looked at them enough.
Do they really have a stripe that goes like diagonally over their shorts sometimes?
Oh, yeah.
This is like hip to MCL.
Yeah, it's ugly.
They're disqualified based on that.
Okay, Houston, moving right along.
in the
413 matchup
the Florida State Seminoles
are the four
going against the Syracuse
Orange the 13
in ACCC battle
listen that side stripe thing
the stacked up like
orange and basically black blocks
I mean that's not even like navy
they're white orange and black
what the fuck is going on here
aren't they Jordan sponsored
no they're Nike again
they are it's time for
The problem is your Nike sponsored now.
You're trying to do a Jordan thing.
You're trying to do a Marquette thing.
Marquette looked awesome.
Marquette's cool.
Like, just don't, dude.
This early 2000 Syracuse uniforms are great.
And even go back further.
Give me the Lawrence Motens or the Carmelos,
but these need a refresh.
Syracuse is faking it.
Who are they even playing?
I didn't even hear anything.
Once I heard Syracuse,
I was like, get them out of the tournament.
Florida State Seminoles.
Yeah, you know what?
We'll talk about them in the next round.
Okay.
beautiful 512
Oral Roberts
No frills
Oral Roberts is the five
against the 12
Wu Pig
Arkansas Razorbacks
Man listen I like the razorbacks
Just off the strength of
They
Like the first time I saw that giant
hog
It was off pudding
That's what she said
But
The giant hog
Actually grew on me
And
And I'm just
Oral Roberts, man, your budget is showing, dude.
Your budget is showing.
And they're trying to do the best they can,
but they have that terrible,
and maybe it's because I was in St. Louis for so long.
But when you go Navy and that, like, pewter,
it just screams like early 2000s to me.
Those are truck colors.
They're truck colors because everybody doesn't mind those fucking colors.
It doesn't get old.
Love it. Arkansas's through.
The 215.
Your two seeds of Villanova Wildcats.
your 15 is the Creighton Blue Jays.
I don't really fuck with Creighton Blue Jays.
And more importantly, Villanova
as we discussed in the last pot
is strong to quite strong.
And they make tweaks regularly,
but they always look like Villanova.
That's what I love about them.
The font doesn't change,
logo doesn't change.
You must be really annoyed
when a team does the opposite.
I am, as discussed on the previous pod.
Nova's through.
The 710
USC truce.
Trojans.
Baylor Bears.
I'm a big fan of McDonald's
Colors, man. I really am.
I've always been a fan of McDonald's colors.
I like Iowa's, as you know,
like in general. So
in that situation,
USC kind of gets the, you know,
tie goes to USC.
Another example of just
Nike.
Nike. Yep. No, I hear you.
But USC's the better, Uni.
USC's the better.
314.
Michigan Wolverines, Oregon Ducks.
Michigan.
Michigan's one of the most classic uniforms and sports.
I'm sure our friend Bo Allen, who's going to join us a little bit later,
we'll have something to say about that.
But I just, it's a really good color.
I mean, what are they doing with it these days?
They kind of, no, they're doing good things.
They went back to Fab Five-ish era.
They just need to make their letters a little taller.
Okay, you like tall letters.
They got short letters right now.
They do have short letters.
little weird. Awkward letters.
But still, they get the three seed and they're through
for you. Hey, listen, they light that
TV up. If you're tired
and it's the sixth game of the day,
Michigan's like a coffee.
Six seed, Gonzaga
Bulldogs. 11 seed,
Oregon State Beavers.
Ooh, this is a tough one because I have
to talk about Oregon State's shorts.
I mean, those are terrible.
They are terrible. There's nothing going on up top
and then there are half the
black short is orange.
It's a fucking weird.
It's a weird get-up.
Who are they playing?
They're playing Gonzaga,
which is doing the outline white letter deal.
Somebody has to win here.
No, I like Gonzaga.
Gonzaga's gonna win.
There's just say Zags.
Yeah, no, Gonzaga's gonna win.
And the tourney.
Yep.
Okay, Elite 8.
UCLA against Houston, the 1-8 matchup.
UCLA.
The 412 is FSU against Arkansas.
Man, it's just a fucking
maroon overload here, huh?
Is that giant hog gonna grow on you?
Giant hog pulls the upset.
Size does matter.
The 27, Villanova against USC.
Nova.
Once again, folks, this is the uniform bracket.
Just in case you moron stop listening for four minutes during the podcast.
You know what, guys, keep it together.
36, Michigan Gonzaga.
Michigan.
That's the right answer.
Final four, UCLA against Arkansas,
which was that,
was that the Tias Edney game?
Tias Edney.
I might have been the Tias Edney matchup.
Did they beat somebody else?
No, no. Tias Edney was UCLA, like,
wasn't that earlier?
Oh, Missouri, that's right.
That was like round of 32.
Talk about ugly uniforms.
Oh, the big M.
Yeah, you're right.
Okay, UCLA Arkansas.
Let me think, UCLA.
Good answer.
Other side, the two.
Two, three, Nova and Michigan.
It's all about the motion in the ocean for UCLA.
Right, good.
That's right.
I'm with you.
Two, three, Nova, Michigan.
This hurts, because I'm really partial to Michigan
and like Jordan uniforms and it's a really nice color.
But Nova, Philly, Philly, baby.
I'm gonna go with my daddy's school.
Oh, I forgot my parents went to Villanova.
My mom went there.
Oh.
Okay, the one and the two make it through.
UCLA or Nova?
I'm going to go with the UCLA Bruins.
We don't need to overthink this, man.
It's maybe the best uniform in sports.
They might have the best uniform in college sports,
if not all of North American sports.
Like, take everything into account.
It translates to most any canvas.
Under Armour, you stink, no offense,
but you just won this year tournament.
Yeah, I mean, like, that's the highlight of their life.
they want to fucking green light
yeah
maybe they want to pay us or something
let's keep our options open
yeah take that back
Marcus Spears joins us now
I call them swagoo
you're going to take a real estate call
yeah I'll be right back
all right so I got swagoo here
big swagoo or swagoo do which one is it
which one do you like whatever you want to
see this you man
this brotherhood on the podcast
now. This ain't formal.
Swank who.
You're fucking, you're fucking right.
I barely ever get a D-Lyman on the pod.
Man.
The energy.
Everybody want, everybody want them little pretty dudes, man.
Like, everybody won't, you know, just, just get a normal D-Lyman on there.
One that wasn't an all pro or Hall of Fame movement, got a lot of shit to say.
Yep.
And got things done, too, on the field, too.
Yeah, man.
So that's it.
So, Marcus Spears, you know him from NFL.
You know him from Get Up. You know him from first take. He probably wakes up very early in the morning. I was busting his balls off the air that he, first time I haven't seen him in a suit in quite some time. He's in a t-shirt. So good for him. I'm glad.
Loose neck teams too. This is the this is the Nike, the Nike yoga collection. It's the big man collection, dude.
Yeah, it's the big man. 4xLT. Comfort. Relax. Comfort, dude. Comfort first. So,
I was going to ask you because I never heard the story.
Where did you get the nickname, Swagoo?
Because it's just perfect.
So, man, listen, a lot of people don't know, but I was with the SEC Network,
which is under the ESPN umbrella for five years.
And my first year at Zohess and Tor was the host, you know, Joe Tets, boxing,
and all that.
And Tess was like, man, you know, I like to look good in my suit, Ceylon.
You already know you played in the league.
If we look sloppy, people talk about us really bad when we're in public forums.
So I wanted to be clean.
First year on TV, I wanted to make sure everything was up to part.
So Tess was like, man, you really doing well in the suit game.
And I was like, I just finished playing in the pros.
Yeah, I still.
Yeah, like, I could buy some nice suits.
And he was like, man, you just, it's real swag.
It's real swag you got going.
He was like, you know what I'm going.
I'm going to start calling you the big swagger.
Joe Tess gave you that nickname?
Joe Tess gave me that nickname.
Year one in television at the SEC Network, bro.
And it took off, dude.
People like people try to like say you don't need to go by that name
because it's going to develop a character of you.
And I was like, man, F that.
Everybody calling me Swagoo.
So it must be sticking.
And it's a name that.
associated with something that I agree with, being clean.
Yeah, dude.
When you have to be.
Yeah, man.
When I have to be.
Even in the big man line.
Swag is swag.
You can swag out the big man line too.
So I'm not saying you.
But Joe Tess giving you the nickname Big Swagger, which is probably the best in sports media, in my opinion, was not on my bingo
card.
Yeah.
I just didn't see that coming.
I didn't think Joe Tess had.
What's it like?
because you and Joe Tess probably maintained a relationship.
When you got to watch your friends, like do the big gig,
like Monday night football or something,
that's got to be nerve-wracking.
Bro, nerve-wracking.
You want to fight everybody on Twitter because, you know,
anytime you've got a big stage, you suck.
And people criticize and get out of them.
But I was so happy for Tess, man.
You know, Tess was for a long time and still the big voice in boxing.
right. He was the big voice in college football for a long time outside of her street.
So he was, he was, test was known, you know what I'm saying?
Like with a lot of people that consumed a lot of sports.
But when he got the Monday night gig, bro, to see a grown man that's been in this business
for that long, be humble and really like, like a kid getting his first start,
it was big for him
and I told
like Tess and I talked about it
I told him I said
man regardless of if this is the next
15 or 20 years
there's a very short list
he long of Monday night football
yeah dude
analysts in color
you know what I'm saying so
he was he was super excited
about it I think
I think he's
I think he's more at home in college though
I think college is like
his passion
he loves the atmosphere of it
Plus, like the Monday night job, the money's great.
It sounds like the money's great.
It sounds like the money's good if you can talk over a play in general right now.
But like it's the biggest Trojan horse.
I've said this before to people like in sports.
It seems like the job you want, but maybe it's not the job you want.
Because from there, nobody's going to be happy with what you do.
It's just like everybody's got an issue, kind of what you alluded to.
From day one, bro, I came in.
you know when we play football, man,
you know you play this game at a very high level.
You better know who the hell you are.
You know what I'm saying?
Like I wouldn't go out there
in free agency and ask for C-Lone money.
That ain't who I am.
Right.
But I'm going to ask for the money that I think I deserve
based in context.
So when I first got the ESPN, I told them,
don't put me on no games.
I don't want to do it.
It's boring as hell.
I'm not going to be there for three and a half hours.
talking about games because I know my mind bro like my mind will not allow me to stay in one mode
for three and a half hours you're talking to me my producers back here cowboy read how long can
I focus on one thing uh about a good three minutes three minutes so I would have trouble even at
you know doing what you guys do uh it's just a different thing like it's to sit there to your point
for three hours not know how you're doing you don't
get a break, people in your ear, and the travel too, like on top of it. Those guys bust
their ass, especially at the lower level, you know?
They get after. Now, I'll be honest what you see. I changed my damn mind for 17 million
a year. Yeah. I'll be an analyst on any damn game. I want me to be. I'll go do soccer.
You can put me in the Madden bus, bro. You can drive me in a bus to fucking Levi Stadium.
You could put me in the bus and tell me I'm going tomorrow and I don't know who's playing
for 17 million.
For 17, dude?
Like, when Romo signed that deal, bro, I was like,
oh, I got to rethink this thing.
And then, and then Stephen A signed his for doing a studio.
I was like, okay, you can get to some good money not calling games.
So I'm going to stay in my lane, man.
The games ain't my lane, bro.
Knowing who you are, that's like, because it all looks like a shiny object.
It all looks like, well, I could do that.
That you're a competitor.
Like, you know, like, I can tell you take your crap very seriously.
Yes, man.
You know, and not everybody does.
And, you know, like, it's, I just feel like at times you could be like, oh, I could go do that like he's doing it.
I can go do that.
And there's just not enough time in the day to do five things.
So, bro, it's like, I tell people all the time, man, in a TV game, like, if you, if you're passionate about it and you have something to say and you're enthusiastic about it, you can have success in this.
business and don't measure your success based on being on ESPN or being on big shows i got caught up in
that early in my career ESPN i was like i want to be on first take i want to debate stephen a i want
because that's the like in television in sports right like that's the goal right i want to be on these
big shows and i want to be able to you know just and you don't realize you just setting yourself up to
be in line with everybody else with what everybody else is trying to do that you're
do. So for me, man, once I got over that, that's when it started happening.
Right.
Like, once I was like, I don't know, I ain't even worried about that. I don't care about all that.
I was at SEC Network doing my thing. I knew I wanted to like expand. I wanted to couple more than
one conference in college. But GetUp came like Greenie and ESPN created GetUp. And Get Up was
really like the springboard for my career now, where we are now. So.
I mean, but it's really just being you, man.
That's why I'm envious of guys like you.
When you're setting up a podcast and you, you doing,
you doing what you want to do, right?
Like you do the thing that I've been able to do at ESPN,
which I'm excited about, which I,
which I have a ton of respect for the people that can actually make these things happen.
I'm going to want everything I want to be a part of.
Right.
Like they, no, no one asked me and they,
know I would say no anyway to do anything that I don't want to do.
Yeah.
Right.
And look, I know I know I'm blessed in that way because everybody don't have that opportunity.
But I just-
You worked for it.
You crushed it to the SEC Network.
I used to watch you.
You were awesome on there.
Like you're just like there's not a lot of bullshit to you, which I think is like cool.
Like you're able to play the game where like you know you got to like you got to perform
some days.
And like you do that for sure, but you're good at it and I don't sense bullshit.
Like I never sense like that like,
he might not have, this might be manufactured energy today, but I know he believes what he's saying.
I'm never going to give an opinion based on trying to follow the mode.
Right.
Like if I'm saying, this is what I can guarantee you.
And I get, I get, I'm just a, when I get the arguing man in anything, it could be food,
it could be my, my son when me and him playing Fortnite, he'll think I'm in the devil, bro.
So it's just what I do, man.
So like when I'm having these arguments or conversations or I'm animated or whatever,
a lot of times it's just something that hit my bangs.
And I'm like, I can't believe you said that.
It's just you're irritated.
I get irritated.
That's the thing with Twitter that sucks me back in all the time is like,
I'm like, I'm not interested in talking about anything today.
And I'll see some stupid-ass conversation going on.
I'm like, that's so stupid, I got to go talk about.
I got to go argue about it.
And I don't think people, I don't think people understand, like, part of being an
athlete is we were part-time arguers, dude.
Like, that's what we did.
When we went in from the field, like, we spent more time, especially the D-Bs.
Like, D-Line was usually, like, we observed, and then, like, one dude went over and, like,
got in the mix and, you know, the flow.
But that's what we did.
So, like, you're doing the coolest thing to me is, like, you're living out.
your dream and you're doing what you've always done, which is just like they want people,
that's why I think podcasts are successful because people want to hear conversations and like be a
fly on the wall. And you bring the fly on the wall atmosphere from a locker room to first take
or to get up. So, bro, because I'm not a scripted dude.
Yeah. When somebody says something, I don't know what that means. I don't know what that means.
Like, when you say, when you trying to set me up with something scripted, you're not asking me to be me.
That's how my mind goes.
Like, if we are going to plan what we about to talk about and you want me to say verbatim, this, I'm on the wrong show.
You know, I used to tell people all the time.
And you know, it's when I played in the league.
When the NFL wasn't fun for me anymore, I did.
What do you think I did?
Yeah.
I was like, that's a rap.
And it was, for me, it was like, I didn't go through this range of emotions.
I was like, that's a rap for me.
Yeah.
Because it no longer, it was, to bring, you know, to bring it home, it felt scripted for me.
Yeah.
And I was like, that's it.
Yeah.
That's a wrap for me.
Um, humble beginnings, though.
LSU, uh, you know, your first camp in Dallas, back when you were, when you were arguing for free.
whose camp was harder?
Was it Sabin or was it Parcells?
Because you had like, golly,
I don't know who you fucked over early in your life
to get the karma of those two training camps
back to back.
Bro, first of all,
like, I'm glad we've all been mature
because I wanted to kill both of them.
Like, I hated them.
I wanted to kill both of them initially, right?
But, you know, we grow, we learn a lesson.
I say Bill, man.
I say Parcell's camp was harder.
First, it was 22 straight days or two of days.
You know, we didn't play in this soft-ass shit they're doing now.
Right, I know.
Like, we were grinding.
It was all day long.
A day off felt like punishment more than it felt like a day off.
Because you couldn't do nothing because you was thinking about the next day.
And when I see dudes now, like, in training camp laughing and joking,
we did that.
But that was like the first couple days.
Yeah.
And after that, it was zombies.
all over the place, right?
We praying for the third preseason game,
especially if you start.
But dude, not only was the two of days and the grind,
dude, I was going against Larry Allen
and Flores-Elle Adams, bro.
The hotel.
The hotel.
The hotel.
The fucking guy in the hotel.
It's like, Jesus.
They called them the hotel,
hey, listen, okay, so my first game in the league
was Trey Thomas and John Runyon,
and then like a couple games later,
It was the hotel.
It was the hotel.
Because we played, you played in St. Louis.
Remember, did you guys came to St. Louis?
Yeah.
And Brad Johnson was your quarterback that year.
Okay.
So that's perfect because I was going to ask you,
when you showed up there, you were in D-Wares draft class, right?
And it was you and him.
And there's something about like, okay, like,
I know this guy's an alien.
I've seen him, like, work out next to me, but he's still my age.
And then there's like the grown man, like Larry Allen vibe that you're like,
that guy's an alien too, and he's been in this thing for almost a decade probably at this point.
Who is more athletic is, I guess, my thing?
Who is more of a freak?
Larry Allen.
Okay.
All right, bro.
Listen, I don't want to get two in the weeds with D-Line plate.
When a sucker is 375, and he pulls and takes your outside shoulder away before you get into your technique, you realize something different here.
Like, it wasn't just double teams.
I'm about to come straight down.
It's Larry Allen pulling on a power play and moving everybody.
And knocking you into the three technique when he came from the other side of the three techniques.
See, Long, let me tell you this, bro.
Let me tell you this.
So my first, my first practice with the Cowboys,
Bill would go live goal line, the first practice, live goal line.
And you know back in the day when I'll take me as a D-Lignment,
we were to sit and spin on the double team, right?
Yeah.
Like, he attacked the guard, pull him down,
and then sit in the hole and force that double team with the tackle on your back.
Right.
Bro, I set and spin on there, Alan, I want to curse.
He picked me up.
He picked, I'm sitting down, see.
Now, I'm 310, bro.
I sit and spin.
He picks me up and him and Flosel ushers me into the end zone,
and behind him is Marion Barber.
So I wasn't going to win it anyway, but after that,
this is a true story.
I told Bill Parsetto.
I said, Bill, if Sundays are like that, I can't play in this league.
He was like, that's the hardest double team you're going to ever face.
I was like, if it's any more like that,
you're going to have to find somebody else to play.
So, bro, it was hell, bro.
I wanted to quit every day.
Because you learning, man, like you learning and you get me your asswood at the same time.
And you changed positions in college and maybe, I mean, the scheme might have been a little bit different for Bill.
I don't know if you guys ran like a three four.
We were four or three at LSU.
Right.
So I did the opposite.
Or I did the opposite.
I was a three four of my senior year.
And then four three was like, what the fuck is going on?
Like some of these reads, I'm sitting there like trying to like.
read somebody and it's like being a dog on the freeway.
I'm really glad we're not even going to have to debate this.
Reed is sitting back there thinking, am I going to bring this up?
But I've had this take on Larry Allen.
I'm not denying that he's a fucking alien.
What I'm saying is that the play he's famous for,
what's the play to every running down the Saints linebacker?
I had a hot take that said it wasn't as impressive as people's made it out to be.
Maybe because I thought he weighed 335, but you just said 375.
bro, Larry Allen was not a day in the league under 360.
But also, Swagoo, you know that guy can't run, that linebacker, and he had the angle.
You know that guy was in 1995.
He was built like me, that linebacker.
No, I'm not going to allow you to do it in your time.
Okay, I'm just in your Excel shirt, okay, with your muscles and shit popping out.
I'm not going to allow you to do it.
It's one of the greatest plays ever in football, bro.
That's a 370-pound man walking.
I don't care if the linebacker wasn't fast.
It's not supposed to happen.
It's not, okay, so my point is it's not supposed to happen.
I can see that.
But if you look at linebackers in the 90s,
I think fans look at it now and they're like,
oh, he ran down a linebacker.
He didn't run down like the kid in Dallas or something.
He ran down a guy who was taking on ISOs and shit.
Now, it's still impressive.
I didn't know he was 375, so that's clear it up.
I'm not throwing any more salt on that play, dude.
And funny, Larry Allen may be your size now.
Really?
Yeah.
No shit.
How did Leroy Glover treat you?
I always say this about Leroy.
I feel like Leroy is one of the most underrated inside rushers in the history of the game.
Hands down.
Okay.
You're talking about my Pops is in the Hall of Fame.
My Pops was one of the all-time greats and all that stuff.
And they didn't record all his sacks.
He probably had about 90 because the seven is rookie year or whatever.
But if I stuck around for two more years, I was going to try to beat him and act like I didn't know about that.
the 90.
Nobody.
So,
so I was in,
but I just think about Leroy,
18 and a half sacks
one year in New Orleans.
80 plus sacks as a three technique.
Three technique.
I don't think people realize
how great he was.
He don't get the love he deserved, bro.
Because,
because you remember in Leroy,
in Leroy's window,
it was all about John Ramp.
Right.
Right.
I'll say this.
You will relate to this
because you would be lying
an official noto.
Leroy Glover would be the Gino Atkins
of today.
People don't realize
how we looked at Gino
and what he was doing in Cincinnati.
Do not.
Bro, a beast, bro.
But it's because of where he was, right?
So Glob was in New Orleans,
defensive player of the year and all of that
type of stuff with the sacks.
And then when he came to Dallas,
was able to convert to a three, four,
four technique.
and play that position at a high level.
Yeah.
But so Glove was a wrestler, bro.
And you know that translates well in the league, usually at the D-Ly.
A lot of guys with that background because of leverage and all of that.
Until this day, he's the only D-Liam, and I saw defeat Lever-Liver Al, the only one.
And could, and I'm not talking about like a move or getting hands off C-Lone.
I'm talking about stoning him and pushing him.
Yeah.
and pushing pulling him.
Yeah, dude.
Like, and when we saw it, we was like, okay, yeah, that's the Roy Glove.
But to us, we knew that because we played with Glove.
A lot of people didn't realize for you to, for you to push and pull Larry Allen,
you made of the same type of stuff Larry Allen made of.
Yeah.
So he was, I don't know what mineral that is.
I don't know what mineral that is.
I don't know what Space Rock that is, vibranium, something, because the motherfucker.
Yeah.
So listen, I'm just telling you, Leroy Glover, first day out, that belt, the way he used to hike his pants up.
Remember how he hiked his pants up all the way to his rip kid?
That belt, you know that belt used to be a Gucci.
It was Gucci in Dallas.
Gucci belt, bro.
He wore a Gucci belt on game day, yeah?
On game day.
Yep.
Big time, big time, big time, um, fashion, stay clean, nice decor.
I went to his house.
him and his wife, kids, had a beautiful mid-century modern.
Oh, yeah.
That's all spring.
Shout out to spring.
That's all spring.
Leroy doesn't have any architecture sense or anything like that.
And his fashion stayed in the early 2000s.
He was on point in the early 2000s.
And then, like a lot of OGs, like it just kind of got away from him.
No, I talked to Glove this morning.
Did you know his son, L.J., who I don't even know if L.J.
was around when you played
well he must have been just born away
a baby okay he's six like
10 dude the hooper right
yeah he's really good yeah really good
yeah shout out to LJ
and he probably didn't listen to pop but literally
that's the that's my teammates buddy
that I remember when his kid was a little
kid that's the example the one
that makes me feel old the kid is a grown man
he's 6 foot 10
360s two hands the whole thing
was was glove nice to you
yeah gloves my god man
Love was an aho
Love a natural aho.
You know that.
But one you need.
When need.
Love them, bro.
Talked me a lot about the game.
But you got to realize, too,
C-Law, I walked into a locker room with him and Greg Ellis.
Like, I heard how to be a pro real fast, bro.
Like, those dudes taught me so much.
And Jason Ferguson as well.
I don't know if you remember.
But he was out of nose tackle.
Those three guys were the vets in the room.
And you know how fragile or.
out strong a D-line room can be.
Yeah.
So myself, D-Ware, Jay Radliff, Chris Canty, all in that same draft.
We walked into that room with them three guys and another guy named Leonardo Carson,
who was a big-time leader as well.
And they all taught us, bro.
They all taught us how to be pros early.
And they taught us how to play the game.
So I attribute a lot of my ability to sustain a career to plan.
to playing with gloves, though.
Like, he was a big part of that.
Me too. I had glove. I had Leonard Little.
Little. Yeah.
And my, like, my big brother to this day is James Hall,
who you might have known from Detroit.
But talk about a grumpy-ass dude,
and I tell this story to, like, illustrate what it's like between your,
like, OG or whatever and you when you're a rookie.
But, like, when I got in the league, I was playing over James,
and I had no business playing over James.
And I knew it, which can be an awkward thing as a first-round pick
because you're like, I'm,
busting my ass. I'm just self-aware enough
to know that, like, I'm not there yet this year.
And because of where I was drafted,
like, you're going to play me over
this guy who won't say a word,
looks like he wants to kill me,
he's toiled for 10 years in Detroit.
I don't blame him for hating my fucking guts.
He didn't talk to me, dude,
other than, like,
sometimes he would turn his neck when I was like,
what's the call, James? Like, sometimes you just
turn his neck and then look straight ahead.
Other than that, we didn't really communicate
for like a whole year. Now he's like,
one of my best friends in the world. And that's what being a rookie's like. That's how I go. People
don't realize, man, that's why I said the line room either fragile or very tight knit.
Imagine this too, like to your point, you're talking about James. When Bill and that coaching
staff drafted us, we were converting to a three, four. All these dudes have been stars in four threes,
bro. Like, we're not talking about, Greg Ellis was coming off of a 13 and a half sack year.
yeah from a four or three
glove was killing people as a three
technique and then Parcells came
and put them in head up four techniques
and a zero nose
right over the center and told
them don't react until the offensive
and I tell you where to go.
The run fits probably look
better than the run fits in Dallas this past year.
I think they had the same sickness
that y'all had but the symptoms
were much worse.
We don't need to talk about those run fits.
They did not want to play the run.
No, that Cleveland game was like,
any indication that we don't need to watch Dallas anymore this year,
it's this Cleveland game right off the bat.
And his legs are shaking over there.
He's doing the thing where he's shaking his legs
because just talking about Dallas probably makes him uncomfortable right now.
Drew Bledso was there.
This is something I've always been interested in because I've met Drew.
It seems like the coolest dude in the world and was a great player.
But just was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Wow.
Yeah, twice.
And you walk into Dallas.
And I think, you know, this is the offseason after the McNabb vomit Super Bowl.
This was the one down in Jacksonville where Brady beat McNabb for maybe the second ring.
No, third ring.
So you've got three now of those things back there.
And you're watching that guy on TV win him.
So how did Drew Bledso kind of wear that as a dude?
Bro, Drew, so he was such a professional.
That's the one thing that comes to my mind.
with Drew, man.
Just, you know, knew, obviously knew how to go about this business,
but it also was, it was difficult as a young player because you knew who Drew Bledso was,
but you could see it wasn't the same.
Yep.
Right?
Like, and that was the time when we had Terry Glenn was at where I received,
T. Glenn, RIP to my homie T. Glenn.
He was still a deep ball threat.
And Drew just, he couldn't get it there.
Like the Drew Bledso, we all knew with the beautiful deep ball.
an ability to put the rock wherever he needed to go.
And I remember Bill Parcells when he came in and he was making the change to Romo.
Bill cried, bro, in the team meeting.
Like, he was crying because he had to start Romo because he felt like that was what was best for the team.
And we all knew Romo was better.
You know, you've been in a situation where you know, based on scout team reps, if a dude can play.
Hell yeah.
I've been in that situation when it was better.
was like me.
Right?
You know, and I was like, oh, this is just the way it is.
Yeah.
Romo was killing us, man.
And we was like, yeah, at some point, it's going to happen.
Yeah.
Right.
The starting defense, we get killed by this dude.
And we like, why is like, this look a lot better than what Drew do.
Right.
You know, and eventually when it happened, but man, Drew still, he stayed professional, bro.
Stayed pro.
Stayed a pro.
He hated it, I'm sure, just from his competitive spirit.
You can't root.
People make it seem like, oh, yeah, dude.
Like, you're just supposed to be happy for your teammates if they take your job.
And, like, the reason.
That's just not realistic, dude.
If you're an enormous competitor and, like, you, like, people don't understand how competitive the NFL is.
Like, the food on your table can be taken off just like that.
Well, I was just about to say, it's our livelihood.
Yeah.
Like, if a dude move in on your spot.
You feel like I'm about to lose my job.
Yeah.
And now that I'm about to lose my job,
either I'm going to be released.
And I don't know how this situation is going to work somewhere else, right?
So when it happens, I mean, it happens to all of us.
It happened to me.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Because what was the one situation that you're like,
fuck, this one hurt?
And I had to kind of grow through that.
It was when Wade came.
Man, I had, I tore my meniscus, bro.
and that that shit turned into degenerative.
And I understood, like, at some point, the career will be open.
And we drafted Stephen Bowen and Jason Hatcher.
And, bro, two young good players, bro.
But they just came from small schools.
Boeing came from Hofstra and Hatch came from Gremlin.
But Cabal.
And when Wade Phillips came, I had lost the steps, see, and they was young and going.
I'm talking about every day, getting after it.
And they earned it.
And then my starting spot was gone.
And at first you go through that, like, I'm going to compete.
I'm about to, like, you know, I'm going to practice the more I'm killing everybody.
Yeah.
Right.
And then you realize, like, no, just keep being yourself, identify the things that, that, that,
helped you be a starter for seven straight years and get back to it. And then it became a
rotational thing. I eventually got back in the starting spot. But, man, I remember going
through that, bro. Your whole thought process is, where is the next city going to be? Who I'm
play for? What situation I'm going to be in? And all I had known, I tell people all the time,
I had the greatest career in the NFL. I spent a long time in one place. You know what I'm saying? I didn't
have to deal with, you know, free agency much. I came up for my second deal, went through it,
and was like, yo, I'm staying. Nine years? Nine years. My last one was in Baltimore.
In Baltimore, it was like 13, right? That was 13. That was Brandon Williams' rookie year.
Their nose now. Oh, my God, dude. He's getting up there. He's getting up there. I like him,
though. I like him. How about this offseason, like free agency, man? Like, we're looking at D-Lyman,
since we're talking D-Line.
Who do you think is a free agent that you're going to, like,
get a lot of bang for your buck out of your favorite value signing?
I like the way Trey Hendrickson rushes the passer.
Yeah, I do too.
From New Orleans.
He has a physical rusher.
Yeah.
No the difference.
Because he can put that long arm in there and be physical.
He's not, like, the biggest, most powerful guy, but everything's about timing.
Like, physicality is timing.
Yeah, like his hands are good, really solid.
it. I like Young Neek in Las Vegas, but I don't know if that make them marketably better.
I don't think, I don't, listen, I love him as a rusher. And I was talking Mina about this.
And Mina wasn't so sold on him. And I said, like, listen, the guy's done, he's gotten buckets
every year, dude, straight out of the gate. Okay, that's one thing he does. I just don't know about,
like, okay, are you going to have to work around him in the run game some? Because when you're
really piss poor defense, like, everything's got to be about, like, we got to shore this up, you know,
kind of-
I'll give you an example,
bro.
Think about this.
Two years ago,
Leonard Floyd
was a first-round bus.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
He just signed for $60 million
because he played with Aaron Dahl.
You know this.
Like,
you know this better.
That's why I love talking to you.
I couldn't wait because you know this better than anybody.
I tell people all the time,
D-Line like basketball.
If you're surrounded by one or two other stock,
I made money because I played next to Demarcus Ware, bro.
Hell yeah.
Like, I tell people all the time.
I have a Hall of Fame,
three, four linebacker.
right outside my shoulder.
Who the hell you thought was getting all the attention?
Right.
I got more one-on-ones,
more one-on-one run blocks
than anybody could ever pray for it in the NFL
because DeWare was on the outside.
So that's just like situations,
schemes, structure, who there, all there.
The market, the market.
Like, do you play in a market
that people are going to recognize what you do?
Like, you talk about LaRoy earlier, in New Orleans.
Like, you know, and a lot of it is just like a player
needs a fresh start sometimes.
People act like the game's not mental.
Like, I'm sure that.
that Leonard Floyd playing in Chicago
where all they care about is football
and he's compared to Cleo Mac
and he's the first round tag.
He goes to L.A. where they're not really like, no offense
because I know there's a lot of great Rams fans out there,
but they don't, and this was described.
The heat is not the same.
And all of a sudden there's this guy in there.
A lot of people think that if Robert Quinn
rushes across from me,
and that was my guy in St. Louis
and one of the best football players I ever played with.
If you didn't hurt his back,
I mean, you talk about 18, 19 sacks in a year.
But a lot of people think it's like the guy that helps you is the guy on the other side.
The guy that really helps is the guy right inside.
Right next to you.
And it's not always a guy that like is really good.
Like you have really good guys that are freelance guys.
It's the guys to me.
Fletcher Cox did more for me when I was older than anybody could have because he was not only a great rusher,
but he was also, you knew where he was going to be.
You knew he had a good feel.
There's a difference between a Russia who's just like a solo guy
and a guy who knows the flow of,
okay, I'm going to play off this guy.
Okay, it's third and seven.
I used to watch y'all games.
Like, I used to watch when y'all work with each other.
We, you know, replacing.
Beware would always tell me, I'm taking inside.
Because he had a tackle on his heels.
Yeah.
He was like, I'm going to take him inside.
I'll just sit there and wait, go outside, quarterback,
down to me now.
What's up, bro?
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
He's right there.
We all benefited from playing.
Like, bro, it's no coincidence that when you play with Aaron Donald, you look like a better
B-Lyman.
Absolutely.
That's the most maddest thing in my career.
I could be super bitter about like eight years in St. Louis in general, but I'm just fucking mad
me and Aaron Donald didn't play together longer.
I got hurt as soon as he got there and like, oh.
Yeah, bro.
You could have stole two more years.
Stole, dude.
They would have paid.
Oh, my goodness. Hey, another thing that helps if you're at D-Lyman is playing Russell Wilson's
division. And a lot of respect for my guy, and he's one of the best to ever do it, but he made
us all some money out in St. Louis. Let me just tell you. So.
So much so much, I got mad love for the Seahawks.
Yeah. They gave him so much, man. They donated to the Spears Family Fund.
Uh-huh. Exactly. Yeah, the collection, the collection, the collection plate was full.
All right. So what do you expect out of clownie?
I hope he signs with Cleveland
and takes that effect
that me and you just talked about
with Miles Garrett being on the other side
right?
Like, bro, it's just,
I mean, when you take it first of all,
he ain't produced enough.
That's the reality.
His measurables, his ability
is supposed to translate
to a minimum of 13 a year.
You know what?
And that's the thing.
I think that sometimes,
you know, like I was a top five pick,
but everybody knew like I was a hustle guy
And like I was athletic and don't sleep on my athleticism,
but I was like technician.
Like, Jadavian Klein, it's kind of unfair to him sometimes
because he was just so fucking, so athletic.
But I don't know that it always translates into just being a great football player.
And I would say this.
I think he's been really fucking good.
And I don't think people give him enough credit short of the last year and a half,
run game, being a floater, disrupting.
Those last couple years in Houston, who do you think people were playing for
just as much as JJ Watt?
Hell yeah, clowning.
Listen, so.
But the numbers, you've got to justify with the numbers
because everybody looks at one number.
That's the game, dude.
That's what it is.
That's it, man.
Like, I remember D-Ware leaving games with 12 tackles,
four TFLs, and five pressures.
Right.
And being in the locker room like,
I ain't knew what I was supposed to do.
I remember that.
I remember conversations of going into the fourth game
and he only has three and a half sex
and his brain look like
it's about to explode.
And that's the difference between being a Hall of Fame.
He don't have six.
That's a Hall of Fame standard
for getting your numbers.
Like I can remember if I was at one after four
I was panicking because my goal was always eight to ten.
You know, like if I can get eight to ten, you know, like anyways,
I'm rooting for Clowny.
I know the last couple years it hasn't been great.
I don't think he's going to get paid eight or ten million,
although I feel like people can't help themselves.
They can't help themselves.
The potential, bro, think about when 6-6-27 and walking in.
Walks in your facility.
It's like when Vernon Goldston walked in.
Vernon Goldston and me were in the same draft class.
It was me and Vernon and a couple guys.
And like, I can remember when we visited St. Louis and Vernon, I'm like walking behind Vernon.
I'm like, what the fuck am I supposed to do right now?
Like this guy took up the whole doorway.
Okay, hoops.
Hoops, before I let you go.
You were a great basketball player.
Are you still real passionate about like March,
Madness. Where do you rank it in sporting event, like time periods in a calendar?
It's the best sporting event in any sport. Best point in any sport. He's fucking, he's right about
that. One, one, because I always dream the plan in it once I realize I could play college
basketball. Two is because people like Gonzaga can win national championship, right? In football,
Gonzaga ain't meeting Alabama. Right. I'll give shit how good they are. Right.
Coastal Carolina was in the top 25
and Alabama would have beat them by 80
this year in football.
In basketball, no.
You remember Jimmer Fredette?
If Jimmer would have got hot,
they could have beat anybody.
Adam Morrison.
Yeah, Jimmer used to just launch it
from the fucking logo, yeah.
Like, poor, he went crazy.
He went crazy.
Listen, Swaggo, you don't have to explain to me.
I'm a Virginia guy.
Yeah, I know, right?
So Steph Curry,
And Davidson.
Like you have,
you have that in March Madness.
And two,
it introduces us to dudes that we don't know
that go to the pros and are really good pros.
Yeah.
That we had,
you know,
you got sister Jean,
bro,
you got all of this,
bro.
You got the upsets.
You got,
man,
it's crazy.
Like this year alone,
right?
I'm looking at,
I'm looking at LSU play Michigan.
Right?
I got,
agile.
I had y'all.
I got skin in the game at LSU.
obviously that's who I'm rooting for.
Jawhan Howard is my big brother.
Like family to me, right?
But I still want LSU to win.
After the game is over, I'm like,
Joanne in the Sweet 16 year one as a head coach at Michigan, right?
And I've known for a long time how bad he wanted to be the head coach at Michigan.
Like, Jowan was in Miami in line to be a NBA coach.
Right.
Like he was trending in that direction.
every conversation I had with
man I want that job in that all
every conversation
and now he has a sweet 16 you can tell
he wears it emotionally like he cares about
and also what's cool is like
he had it against him where everybody's probably looking and saying
oh this alumni
coach thing never works which is really
cool for him and you know what you're right
there's always something to be excited about my co-host
he was like crying for three days of Virginia
dude I know how to lose
and plus there's a million games going on
okay like we got a natty
in our back pocket. Who was the best
teammate of yours at basketball
and then give me the worst position
on the field for basketball players?
I have one in mind.
The worst position. I'm talking about
like a football player. If you had a
teammate and you had like take away the quarterbacks,
the kickers, the punters, the guys
that are position players, what
position group is least likely to have
one good basketball player on it?
Bards. Oh, I disagree.
Who you think?
Linebackers, dude.
They'll be.
Too swole, short.
Yeah, can you see Bobby Wagner
shooting a jump shot?
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
Looks like the Monstars.
See, long, sometimes, though,
you know these dudes like
2-15 and a house.
Darius Leonard.
Darius Leonard.
And then they evolved
to become that.
Guards ain't never been
no damn basketball players, man.
Like, I respect them as athletes.
They ain't never play no basketball.
You're right about that with the guards,
probably.
How about the best former
Hooper that you could beat at ESPN
one-on-one?
Oh, we, man.
To 11?
None of them.
Okay, that's the same thing.
I might be able to,
I might be able to take Kendrick Perkins
outside the lane and shoot him
out to gym.
Okay.
But, dude, bro, these,
everybody think they can play in NBA
until they got to try it.
Look at the fucking white Mamba the other day.
Scalabrini in the gym.
These kids don't know.
He's like, guys got red hair.
tall guy with red hair oh he used to play in the NBA my mama was like come on dummy come on dummy
like it's a different level bro my cousin is stephen jackson right yeah yeah yeah and i see i grew up
hooping bro i played with NBA basketball players yeah right like that's how i grew up i grew up playing
with them dudes man that's a different level bro like people think that they oh i got a jump i'll be at the
local wreck and I get you know we're going to 12 and I score eight average and you'll get your
face beat in bro like it's nothing to equal that unless you play basketball at a high level
especially the more points you got to score it's not to three it's not horse it's that how about
how about Dan Orlovsky can you beat Dan Orlovsky one-on-one he's super fucking tall man what's he
doing with that height bro I would I drub Dan in a basketball what would be the score to a
11.
11. 7.
Oh, he'd score seven points on you because the height, right?
He's just tall.
Just getting over the top.
But I'm taking all of his face away.
You know that.
Like, I'm not giving you space on the court.
And who's going to call a foul?
Ain't a ref out there.
Dan's going to call the foul.
Dan's seem like a guy that calls his fouls.
He'll call foul.
He'll call foul.
And then argue.
And then like the argument.
It's just me and him playing one-on-one.
He'll argue about the foul.
The foul call.
With nobody.
Probably would want to shoot free throws instead of just taking it out.
All right, well, Swagoo, Marcus Spears.
I'm going to let you get back to arguing with Dan Orlovsky.
Dude, hey, listen, anytime that was a welcome distraction.
I had on my sheet all this shit I want to talk about.
I was like, we started talking about D-Lyman, man.
This is just a D-Lympod, dude.
This is what we do, man.
This is what we do.
Hey, man, I need that info, bro.
We got to get in them wood.
Yeah, dude.
Come on down.
Anytime.
Okay.
All right, bro.
Stay safe.
All right.
appreciate it
all right
bow allen's here
this is a dline
dominated pod man
and i was just
remarking offline
if you will
that beau allen looks jacked
look at him
looks so good
yeah i'm calling in for my iPad
my clash of clans device
this thing's got some
fucking nice quality
did your folks name you
bow because you're beautiful
they did
thanks for noticing man
he likes compliments
did you know
keep them coming man
he doesn't
But in Philly, he, like, demanded them.
Like, would stand at my locker.
I'm like, I'm like, put my socks on, you know, like,
and I feel like this presence, you haven't complimented me yet today, dude.
Bo probably had his own locker in Philly.
You're right.
Were you talking about that with Kelsey?
Yeah, it's hurtful.
What are you going to do?
Nothing.
Start a podcast and make lots of money.
Well, not too much money.
Glad somebody's making money.
A moderately successful podcast.
So today, Bo is joining us to do some Reed Roulette.
Yeah, baby.
Where are you joining us from, Bo?
I'm a beautiful Tampa, man.
Living a dream, man.
Reed has curated some of the best content from the outer reaches of the internet.
Najee Harris, after missing his flight, he drove to Alabama to attend the
Pro Day and support his teammates.
Many people are impressed by his
dedication, willing to sacrifice
and make the trip.
Is he a true hero?
You know, Reid, I'm so glad you asked that.
Najee Harris is a
true hero
because he's a national champion
at the University of Alabama,
and he's a fucking freak.
But this means nothing to me.
This is just, this is the bare minimum.
You miss your flight?
You get a rental car?
you white knuckle it it was nine hours i've driven 36 in a row how uh how do you do a product
well that's the thing you want to be a hero how about you run a 40 yard dash he didn't he didn't
participate he was there to support his teammates right that sounds like the type of thing you know
what i'm saying this is try hard this is like the opposite of like when like so-and-so wasn't
voted team captain scouts are
Scouts think he'll slip in the draft.
Right.
This is the opposite.
I'll tell you what it is, though, for real.
He probably has been training his ass off.
He wants to see all of his boys.
He's going to go back.
He didn't do pro-day,
but he wanted to go out with all the dudes that night afterwards.
You know what I mean?
That's my day.
That's what I would have done.
He's probably been looking forward to that day for months,
training, doing all of his little fucking 40-yard dash starts,
doing his bench rest,
and then he was looking forward to cutting it loose with the boys and his flight got canceled.
So you got to do what you got to do.
AL.com, Alabama, I just need to read you this.
Okay.
They all came together one more time to support each other and Najee Harris drove through the
middle of the night to do it from Dallas to Tuscaloosa, period, nine hours, period,
through storms, period, through the heart of the deep south, period.
And it goes on from there.
Like, why?
What?
what what hey hats off to kiff for doing the bare minimum this i'm not saying he's a he's a bad guy
and i'm not saying he said hey pump this story but you know like hey nazi's here how'd you get here
i drove drove all the way from redacted yeah reporter make a big deal about it i don't think
naji harris was like make a big deal about it i just think it's probably bow makes a great point
he probably just wanted to get fucked up with his buddies there and that's a hallmark movie in
though. Yeah, like, I'll be home for Christmas. Like, I'll be home for pro day. I'll be home for
pro day. Make it back. Exactly. Group chat. So here's the deal. Talking about true heroes,
we were about do a segment about how this wasn't that big a deal. We drive foreign automobiles
all the time. This guy this week, uh, for the Patriots. Justin Herron, Bo, did you know this guy?
Do you know this guy? Yeah. Bro, I'm a fucking Patriots legend, bro. No, I know you are. You just
retired from the Patriots the other day and that not from the NFL, but just for the Patriots.
In legendary fashion.
Yeah, I was find me in the ring of honor, baby.
So this guy, was he a hero?
Like, did he give off hero?
He's a good dude.
He was a good rookie.
You know what I mean?
Like, rookie last year, solid guy, like, good dude.
And I saw that story.
It was pretty cool.
I mean, you know, I never,
everyone sits there, like, thinks about what they do?
Like, what would I do if someone came in here right now and, like, got violent or
something.
But my man actually stepped up, you know what I mean?
And that's, that's impressive.
I think that should be commended.
It should be commended.
In the spirit of like celebrating Justin Heron, which it's not a fuck around thing.
Like good for him.
He did the right thing.
He big body to creep.
Like God, don't you, you don't wish it would happen.
But if it's going to happen, I wish it would happen around me.
You say that.
But he actually did.
He executed the game plan.
And so in the spirit of Justin Heron, we're going to do a little bracket.
It's March Madness.
We're going to do an athlete hero bracket, the real.
heroes, the good Samaritans, the guys that saved the life or, you know, flipped over and overturned
car and all these stories ended well. So we're not like, you know, just like the Justin Herron story.
Ficked up situation, great ending. So we're going to celebrate them. We're going to go four
regions here of four a pop, just like college basketball right now. Water rescues, planes, trains,
and automobiles, confrontational heroes, and wild cards. Okay?
Yeah, we're going to go region by region.
My friend Macon here is going to kind of fill us in on what happened.
And we're going to give each region a winner one by one and move them on to the elite eight and so on.
By ranking them one to five capes.
One to five capes.
Obviously, if you're a big hero, you get five capes.
Five capes.
Pidly shit, one cape.
One cape is kind of like, all right, man, we get it.
Like one cape, Najee Harris gets one cape.
correct he might get point five heroes don't wear capes man you're right about that but if you're
a real if you're a real hero though i got a new rule if you're a real hero you wear five capes try that one
on for the wild card region sounds pretty stacked honestly well wait until you hear about the wild card
region you might know a couple of these guys like i know a couple of these guys heroes among us
you want to start with the uh you want to start with the water uh the water rescues like the zuma
region if you're familiar with Paw Patrol.
First up, Colt McCoy swam 300 yards across a lake
and ran up a rocky hillside to get help
seizing neighbor. The neighbor was seizing.
The neighbor was having a seizure. Okay. And Colt McCoy
had to alert authorities, kind of like a the rock situation, green smoke,
that type of thing. He had to get up high. So he did a Michael Phelps
across a presumably
rattlesnake-filled
lake. I know they can't swim, but it's Texas.
Made it to the other side.
Climmed a rock
formation like Alex Honnold
from Free Solo.
And got the authorities.
You'd think he'd win it, but there's 15 more.
How many capes for Colt McCoy?
It's the first one, man. I don't know.
Two capes?
One cape, two cape, red cape.
Blue Cape.
So Colt, I'm going to give him four
Caves. I know it's like, you know, he's the first
first game in the tournament, but
oh, no, three and a half, three and a half
capes. Oh, we're going halfs? Can we have
halves for fuck's sake?
It's five units.
Halfs? Three capes.
Three caves.
300 yards. That's a lot of
how long do they swim in the
Olympics? That was a long
the guy
was probably like, I'm good now, Colt.
And how did he know the neighbor was
trouble. Because he was on that
side of lake with him. Three football
fields away? No, he was on
He got hero vision, bro.
The authorities were on the other side. Got it.
The authorities were on the other side, right?
Okay. That's what makes sense, Bo.
Right? Okay. I like to think that he saw him
from 300 meters away. They do meters
and swimming. Yeah. And
just Eagle Vision.
Snipe them. Swam over. Probably swam back.
So yeah.
That's the sound it makes when you
can see that far.
Yeah. So I think, I mean, three and a half capes sounds pretty good, man.
Son of a bitch. I'm going four capes.
Four capes? Yeah. First, first eight, just you and Cole.
There's a rocky hillside. Yeah, but we don't know how rocky it was.
He probably wasn't wearing shoes, though. Think about that. He wasn't wearing shoes. That's exactly right.
That kind of sucks. Four caves. Ah, like when you walk on gravel, like, ah, every step.
He probably didn't even kill it, bro. Adrenaline was pumping. He didn't feel that gravel.
Oh my God, dude.
Yeah, you know what?
I'm going to stick with three, though.
What if we're at the Super Bowl one year, just hanging out, you and me?
Maybe you're playing in it.
It's afterwards in the tunnel.
Colt McCoy's got some big broadcasting job, walks by us.
Says hi to you, doesn't say shit to me.
I'll go three capes.
NFL offensive lineman Ted Larson saved three open water kayakers
after the Coast Guard called in an SOS for the struggling kayakers.
Larson realized the coordinates were close to his fishing boat.
Love that.
Two capes.
Two capes, yeah.
I mean, it's really impressive that the Boy Scout stuff worked, like, worked.
Being lost at sea, major fear of mine.
This dude, the hero, four capes.
He's on a lake, though, dude.
Plus three, that's a lake.
Yeah, dude.
Oh, that says open water.
What's open water mean?
All right.
Ted Larson, I just don't picture him as a guy who's in the ocean.
Open water and Coast Guard.
Guess what?
He's probably a Yuper.
He's probably Yupert.
He's probably Yerlinson played in Great Lakes.
Think about it.
It's open water.
You should know this better than anybody.
How opens that water?
Ted Larson saves a guy.
Off the coast of Mexico.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, that's international.
How was the weather?
International, bro.
How was the weather?
Was it overcast?
Choppy as hell.
No, dude.
Terrible.
Really?
Well, they were.
struggling. The kayakers were struggling.
Maybe they were novices.
Well, that's why I'm only at two capes.
I'm at four capes. Think about
the wherewithal you need to have to know
the coordinates are near your fishing boat
and just go, he abandoned his
fishing trip. He found
them near honeymoon island
on an overturned kayak,
two teens clinging to the boat.
Teens.
Honeymoon island.
Park. It's where people, it's, yeah,
dude, Ted.
Were you even
driving the boat, that's something we got to get down.
I mean, it's right open water.
Look at honeymoon island, dude.
Nothing open about that.
Is it 300 yards away from the shore?
It's shallow.
Listen, here's my thing.
Was he even driving the boat? We got to get confirmation.
Because if he was just, he chartered a fishing boat and the people on the fishing boat,
this sounded like a lot like the Najee Harris thing.
You know, Ted, don't know each other well.
Kyle speaks highly of you.
hate to hear that you i'll say three stars three cakes i'm suspecting stolen coast coast guard valor i'm
going two stars but i'm super impressed with ted but what if he didn't even have the navigate
he was just his guy he just told the guy on the fishing boat to drive to the kayakers larsson
pulled them out and then took them in his 24 foot boat back to shore okay listen
guys got a boat go three and a half
up from two
that's a tie though
dude
I
two was under the
the assumption that
that he was on a fishing boat
like drunk and was like
hey captain bob
let's go pick him up
and he was like
I got GPS to this motherfucker
I know where honeymoon out is
no he took his boat
24 foot boat
too big
yeah
so you're not feeling this
but you want to go
yeah but he's in the gulf
that's open water
I don't know, dude
honeymoon island
Two and a half
Two and a half
Just below Colt McCoy
I don't want to piss Colt McCoy off
NFL
Tight End
Leonard Pope
Saved a drowning boy in the pool
At a birthday party
It's gonna be hard not to give him
More capes
Than the other guys
Because he actually like
Saved a life
Yeah the kids
The teenagers could have been like
Help like in the movies
Where they're just like struggling
But the water's not going anywhere
and the kayaks are just chilling.
Yeah, they were holding on to the kayaks.
Sharks would have been the only way that it would have happened.
This kid wasn't holding on to anything.
No, I'm giving this guy, I'm giving him four capes.
Four capes.
Supposedly when they asked him about it,
like one of the details in the article was like,
he jumped in with his cell phone and his wallet in his pocket.
Well, significant.
That's what heroes do.
and Bo it's at a birthday party
This could
We might not
We could have lost a life
And scarred dozens of others
Saved a drowning boy
In a pool
At a birthday party
Four Caps
Four Caps, dude
I agree
Four Caps
Guy's gonna run away with it
Leonard Pope could block his ass off too
Nomar Garcia
Para needs no introduction
He and his uncle
jumped in the water from his condo
To save two women
Who had fallen into the harbor
and were struggling to get out,
one of whom had hit her head
and was unconscious.
So we've got time's ticking, right?
Nomar's in his condo in Boston,
okay,
jumped off the second story.
Into the water?
Yeah, in October, in the Haba.
Wow.
And saved two adults
like he was a fucking golden retriever.
Mm.
Or loud.
Yeah.
Hmm.
What about his uncle, though?
How many tapes his uncle did?
I'm just imagining his uncle.
Here's another situation.
What if it was all his uncle?
I'm going to assume it was Nomar.
I'm going four and a half capes.
Save two people,
frigid water,
Boston.
I'm going to say four capes.
Three capes.
Condo.
Probably plush and cushy.
He's going right back to the condo.
Yeah, so after you save this person,
you're going back to your warm condo.
Yeah, his uncle's in town.
Probably just took a hot shower and was like, go with it.
Probably calling all the news stations from his bath.
His bath phone.
Okay, well.
Gotta be careful with those bath phones.
They don't fall in the bath.
I'll tell you the winner of the water rescue region here in a bit.
Let's move on to planes, trains, and automobiles.
Pro wrestler Sean DeVari.
He got on an airport train in Bo,
Minneapolis and started yelling racial slurs and threatening to kill people.
Now, Sean didn't do this.
A guy did this.
Another guy did this.
The language is.
Now, DeVari.
I wish I wouldn't have said, let's go.
DeVari puts this guy in a chokehold and squeezes so hard that the guy wets his pants.
And DeVari then throws the perpetrator out of the train door on the next stop.
You know, your racism sniffing, misogyny sniffing, imaginary dog,
it would be great if his imaginary owner was this guy.
So the dog sniffed it out.
This guy just extinguished the problem.
Here's the thing.
Four capes.
Here's the thing.
Emotional and physical heroism.
Thank you.
Thank you.
He shamed him.
You made one his pants.
He's not, you get for that kind of behavior.
twice about being a racist again, hopefully.
Yeah, probably not.
Choke him out.
Make him what his pants.
We don't take kindly.
That's not good.
We don't like that.
Four case.
He's like basically the Oklahoma.
Remember the Oklahoma guy that beat up a football player a couple weeks ago at the bar?
Oh, did you see that?
I love that.
He's like that guy, but if that situation made him a hero.
He's a wrestler too, right?
No, I'm going to give him three and a half capes.
Two capes.
Here's a deal.
guys clearly unhinged
I think I probably could have subdued him
and throwing out of a train door
his pants though
throwing out of a train
yeah the guy's probably a drunk
it was going to happen anyway
and throwing out of a train door
it's an airport tram
like it's not like
that's not the subway
he's not being thrown
from a locomotive here
he got off at the B terminal
exactly
how about you pee your pants
and you're a racist
and then you got to get
on your flight to fucking
Jackson O'Hare.
Is that the name of the airport down there?
Never mind. That'd be Chicago.
I just made a baby out of Chicago
and Atlanta. Yes.
Yes, Jackson Hartsfield, I believe.
Yeah, that's right. Ed. Houston, Atlanta, Vegas.
That's what I just did.
So,
yeah, dude. You know what? You got a point. You got a point.
But I'm staying with three and a half
because of the racism.
Danish?
I'm going four because of the pants.
the peanut pants for.
Danis Estinor, a 6'3-295-pound offensive
lineman at South Florida,
lifted a 3,500 pound car
off of a father of four
and saved his life.
Ray, can you find out how many daughters that guy had?
Damn it, you took my line.
Or did I have the same line?
If they're, uh...
Save the father of a daughter, what kind of, you get into heaven.
Like, there's heaven, and then there's a penthouse of heaven.
that's where you're going.
I would like to know that information.
How much weight can y'all lift?
What's a car?
Is that like a power clean?
I don't know the names of lifts.
It's kind of a deadlift, right, Bo?
I don't lift.
You don't lift.
That's a huge lie.
Roll out of bedstream.
No, he's got all the straps and the belts and the leotards.
He just come into fucking on Tuesdays and like a leotard and straps,
like looking like the guys that were pulling.
truck and then just go, ah, they cleared the whole weight room out for him.
Okay, so what's 3,500 pounds?
You're more compliments, Chris.
That's a lot of fucking weight.
It's like a car, you know?
Yeah, dude, the fact that this guy did this give him four caves.
He's a four cave guy with, with like pressure, like without warming up, like lifted a car off of adrenaline.
And here's the thing.
He did it for free.
He was an amateur athlete.
He gets an article about him.
Great.
USF should pay him.
that's four capes four kids four capes yeah oh that makes sense
without knowing how many daughters i can't go higher than three capes
darius leonard NFL linebacker
stops on side of the road to help change tire
for former high school biology teacher who was on our way to church
i love darius leonard and and i just know this really happened i don't even know the guy
but I just know it really happened, dude.
But here's the thing.
It's not a stranger.
It's also not a, it's not, like, listen, the most heroic thing about that is he knows
how to change a tire and he's like borderline gen Z.
The TikTok generation.
He's TikTok generation.
Some guys are TikToking and he's changing tires, dude.
Oh, helping change tire.
Helping change tire.
Helping change tire.
You think, you think a high school biology teacher can't change?
her own tire? All right, we've got video. Yes, Cowboy Reed, yes. But he's twisting the thing that you
stick in the hole in the tire. I can picture it. Right? He's dropped it down in the grass. He's got his
Colts long-sleeved shirt on. Or tall grasses. He's probably coming from the facility. This guy
just eats sleeps and everything else football. Colts blue shoes. So like, here's the thing.
any other NFL player I'd be like
okay he threw on his issued gear
he pulled over like certain guys
if they did that you'd be like yeah
okay this guy's a saint man
Darius Leonard's a saint
this is not at all heroic
I'm giving him a cape
he's just doing a good thing which
of course he would
Every day heroes Chris
Yeah he's the every man hero
Two capes two two
You know how easy it would be to drive right by there
I'm like oh that sucks
Yeah dude it would
Oh, but then I got to make a U-turn
Some heroes make the U-turn
You know what I mean?
Yeah, some heroes don't talk about it on their
I'm trying podcast.
I know, but that's not the most heroic thing I've done.
I actually spared you guys a story about how I saved the life.
Three capes because that grass is tall as hell.
Oh, I'm going to give him one.
Sorry, Darrysline.
I'm giving one cape just because
And it's just because he knew how to change a tire,
which is a miracle at his age.
Sean Rogers.
You're on TikTok, bro.
Yeah.
Change one on TikTok.
That could have been the best TikTok of all time.
He should have just posted that on his TikTok,
him changed it on his TikTok for three seconds, right?
They're three seconds long.
NFL, defensive lineman, Sean Rogers,
called the police to notify them of a drunk driver,
and he stayed on the line with police while tailing the car,
which swerved off the road,
and eventually the car came to a stop,
and Rogers was able to keep the car from moving.
I don't know. I mean, defensive linemen.
I want to make some jokes, but I'll give them a cape.
Oh, no, I'm giving them three capes.
That's the hard.
Three capes?
No, I'm giving him two capes.
It's the hard socially unacceptable thing to do to nark somebody out for drunk driving.
Heroes make the right call.
It is just the right automatic thing to do.
It is, you see somebody.
Let's say two capes.
Two capes.
I agree with you, Chris.
And also, like, DLIMA got to stick together, you know.
Yeah.
I mean, this isn't one that you're like, this is.
I want to know more.
This isn't a nitty.
gritty, like dirty work thing. Like, hey,
fucking, I ran down a drunk driver.
And that shit's dangerous. I'll give him,
I'll get, you know what? I'm going to give him three capes.
I want to know what kind of car he was driving.
I want to know the details.
Was it 3,500 pounds?
Yukon. I feel like he's a Yukon guy.
Hey, listen, a Denali. Look what I just pulled up here.
And this is what he gets.
Woman arrested for robbing Sean Rogers?
I'm going to assume this happened after he did the Good Samaritan Act.
Like that's just bad karma.
I don't like that.
$500,000 worth of Rogers bling.
Have you ever had your bling stolen?
Wow.
It's a lot of...
Only metaphorically for me, Chris.
Jewels, dropping jewels.
Three Ks from me.
Cape deduction for something that I am able to do.
Okay.
Confrontation region.
Guy Metzker, M.M.A.
He was shopping with his daughter for a bike,
and he saw a man assaulting his girlfriend.
Metzker intervened, taking a knife blow to the hand.
But despite the injury,
Metzker laid a beating on the man,
breaking several of the man's arm and facial bones.
Several arms.
Several arms.
There were arms broken all over that fucking store.
Took a knife blow.
You take a knife blow.
You're on your cataport.
Pulted.
Automatic three stars.
Automatic four stars for me.
Four capes.
I mean.
What do you got there?
But Hugh, that's a...
Thraw.
Are you serious, dude?
Because you keep saying that you'll dock people because of things that you can do.
You undoubtedly could not fight off a guy with a knife.
I could definitely take a knife blow, though.
Yeah, but the article's not like MMA guy gets stabbed a bunch of times.
It's MMA guy gets stabbed, neutralizes.
a total creep and like saves the day and then buys his daughter a bike because they were in there
just bike shopping.
Maybe he's the owner of the imaginary racism and misogyny watchdog.
Breaking facial bones.
Is that really necessary?
Can we just, can we just subdue the man until the authorities come?
Dude, a guy does that to my lovely wife in an established.
It was a girlfriend.
So that's bad.
That's like she's less valuable?
No, I'm all about accuracy over.
here. What's the difference?
What's what's the difference? Why'd you point it out just for accuracy?
Yeah, for sake of accuracy. So a wife is
married. I was just thinking
my companion in life, my soulmate.
Whap, pap, pap, pap. I just learn MMA.
Like in my head, that's how you imagine it. Like,
I would just have moves. You know what I mean?
Jason Bourne. I've watched enough born movies.
Have you ever put your finger in a guy's eye?
Holy shit.
Yeah, I did put my finger in a guy's eye.
Yeah.
At first I was like, man, I hope that doesn't go anywhere bad.
But yeah, I put my finger in a guy's eye.
Okay.
But he was fucking with my lovely wife.
At the time, she was my lovely girlfriend.
Girlfriend, yeah.
It didn't go in the eye.
Went around his eye.
I bowling balled his eyes.
And he stopped.
Caves count, Beau?
No, I'm giving the guy four and a half, dude.
He took a knife blow.
He's the team to beat right now.
I think you were three caves, Bo.
All right, three tapes, cool.
What was No-Mar?
For Bo?
For me.
Four and a half capes.
Oh, it's a fucking overtime between Metsker and Nomar.
Justin Heron.
New England Patriot stopped man attempting to assault a retired teacher in a park.
Prisoner of the moment here.
But I want to be respectful of this act.
My man is the reason we're doing the bracket.
You're not going to win it at four capes,
but I respect you, buddy.
Four capes.
Damn.
Four and a half capes.
Damn.
Three capes.
You're tough with these capes.
I mean,
Bose looking at me like, what the fuck?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm going to get four to my man who subdued a total creep show to play.
The exact same amount you gave to Leonard Pope.
for the drowning boy, but hey.
Okay. I mean like
Neither of them are winning the tournament.
NFL wide receiver Tandon Doss
went into five guys.
Five capes.
And broke up fight between two
employees and their manager.
One of whom had a knife.
Police say Doss saved
the manager's life
who was later treated for
a cut on his chin.
There's a knife.
involved but it's 3.7 because he wasn't the guy that was 3.7 3.7 capes I'm
gonna say three and a half capes two capes Pedro Martinez and Don Zimmer we are
judging the players on the Red Sox and Yankees who broke up the fight and our heroes
because Pedro was going to beat up Don Zimmer 4.6 capes dude 4.6 capes seeing Don
never get beat up on national TV, even to the degree that he was dusted up, scarred me.
It's one of those sports moments I'll never forget where I was.
I'm watching this video right now.
You've never seen this video?
No.
You were how old in 2003?
12.
God, that took way too long.
You were a little leaguer.
Imagine if you saw this happening is a little leaguer.
Ruin America's pastime?
I would have been pumped.
Could have been pumped.
Oh, 0.5
Cates.
One cape.
All right.
Four and four point four K's.
I gave him 4.6.
I don't want to complicate this,
this bracket.
Baseball players, you know?
It's just,
it was the implication of what could have happened
to a national pastime.
Big baseball podcast.
Next week, we're having
fucking a baseball player on.
I'm going to help me pick my favorite baseball team.
Nice.
That's right.
wild card region
I'm waiting for us
playing game
although there are only four bullet points
Tony Gonzalez and Jeremy
Shockey
Gonzalez performed the Heimlich maneuver
on a gentleman who was choking on a piece of meat
at a restaurant
and afterwards Gonzalez said he had never been trained
in the heimlich
Shocker
No instincts
Shock he saved fellow Panthers tied in
Ben Hartsock
after a piece of pork tenderloin lodged in his throat in the team lunchroom.
Okay, it's Tony Gonzalez because this is a restaurant.
You know, at the restaurant they ask, is there a doctor in the house?
There are like 15 doctors in a facility.
Eventually they were going to get to big boys aid.
But restaurant is like, me, me, me.
Look at what, look at me.
Oh, he's just running toward the spotlight.
At the facility is more of a locker room team guy.
Yes.
I like that take.
Yeah.
But here's what I think.
I think performing the hammock on someone, that's an intimate maneuver.
Yeah, it is.
It is.
Better on a friend.
And Shockey just hit Hartsock on the back.
My dad said Tony Gonzalez is a big foodie.
Like, this makes sense.
He just hangs out at restaurants and waits for people to have like some steak lodged in there.
And you go three times.
You go up through the sternum.
You never been trained, though.
It was just innate.
I mean, shit.
He was a basketball.
basketball player just one day turned into a football player.
Tony Gonzalez just one day turned into a...
I'd never heard that before.
Yeah, Cal.
He was good.
That's the kind of...
So I got Tony going through.
Okay, I'll go shocky.
I got Tony.
Okay, and now you all need to cape him.
Cape him.
I'm giving him a 3.5.
No, I'm giving him a 3.75.
3.75.
2.
Restaurant.
Look at me.
CJ Leslie.
After NC State upset UNC in 2013
and the NC State fans rushed the court,
Leslie lifted up a fan who had fallen out of his wheelchair
and was in danger of being trampled.
You kidding me?
Five, dude.
Five capes.
This guy won the tournament.
I'll give him four capes.
I mean, that's a legendary movie.
You get caught up in the moment after a big win like that
and you have the wherewithal to look around
and save a man from being trampled.
That's the thing.
Like, like, uh, or Mufat.
Awesome and the Lion King.
It's amazing.
I haven't seen it.
Did you hear that?
Unbelievable.
I'm not actually offended.
A podcast with a guy who
has been living in the Truman show or something,
which is another movie.
Unbelievable.
That actually takes commitment to not ever watch the line.
Yeah, it's a thing, dude.
It's a bit.
He's doing a lifelong bit of how reclusive he can be,
like culturally.
My dad and I watched Cheers growing up.
I was too young for that.
You might be too young for that.
No, Cheers,
I faintly remember it.
It is the same set it felt like.
I just didn't get a lot.
I wasn't like placed in front of the cartoons.
Were there other sets in Cheers?
Or was it just the bar?
They went a few places.
They went places?
Rarely.
No windows.
Just all wood everywhere.
Down a flight of stairs.
CJ Leslie did a thing that we haven't even mentioned,
which is he saved rushing the court.
He not only saved that young man who needed help and did it in the heat of the moment,
but he also saved rushing the court.
Good point.
That young man gets hurt.
We're not rushing the court anymore.
Martellus Bennett.
Ever heard of him?
Played with him.
Caught a young fan in the tunnel who was bumped by an adult fan and knocked from the stands.
It's literally easier to catch than a football, Marty.
I'm sorry.
This is two and a half.
It's great, like, a,
awareness, but you catch little footballs.
Aaron Rogers was throwing you footballs at that time.
You know how fast footballs are coming?
This is a kid falling kind of slow, two and a half.
Three, three, four, five feet.
Kids are resilient.
Four stars.
You just want to think about that.
The kid falling and just catches them.
Bose right.
The diving catch?
Four capes.
He had three catches for 44 yards.
Pretty good day at that age.
How old was he?
Oh, make that four catches.
Yeah, exactly.
Four capes.
44 yards.
Four caves, four catches.
And thankfully no touchdowns.
Nice.
Marty said I just did what any superhero would do.
Saved his life.
Shit.
I'm like Scott Summers.
You know who Scott Summers is?
Cyclops off X-Men.
My first instinct was to step back like,
oh shit, but I did the righteous thing.
So I caught him and then slowly tried to pull him down.
But then I tripped over.
were somebody and we all fell. Oh,
they all fell. And
his first instinct was to let the kid fall.
Marty says he owes me his first born
or something. Actually, I don't want that.
Maybe a sandwich or something.
Ridiculous.
I can hear this voice.
The man was
reportedly, the man. Oh,
my goodness. The man was reportedly
taken away by police
after the incident for undisclosed
charges.
Conspiracy to
a hero.
Trespassing in the tunnel?
No, it was a conspiracy.
Autograph
for a hero story.
And it was a man, dude.
I'm down to three capes.
Guy falls 10 feet,
not a big deal.
Talk to a guy who knew yesterday.
He said 15, 20 feet you live.
Rock climbers fall all the time.
I think,
I think,
he acknowledged that he's a superhero.
That's superhero sway.
You know what I mean?
That's anti-humility.
That's a superhero shit.
You're just doing what all the other guys want to do.
You're just, you just, let's talk about it.
I saved the guy.
Two and a half, two and a half capes.
The NHL's Mike Danton jammed fist into teammate Marcus Bankston's mouth to stop him from choking on his tongue,
which he learned in prison where he was serving time for conspiracy to commit murder.
Danton showed Bankston marks on his hand where he had to bite down on Danton.
And Binkston said, now we are blood brothers.
Arreston in prison.
He attempted to hire a hitman one time.

Golly, I'm going to give him, this is controversial, but I'm going to give 3.75 capes.
That is controversial.
Why?
You, do you think you shouldn't have done it?
You'd be a good guy to, to, um, save people with that way.
All right, listen up.
Small hands, short wingspan.
That's the only thing that's small.
Oh my God.
You end up,
you save a guy's life by sticking your fist in somebody's mouth.
It's like super quiet.
And then like after the guy cough,
so you know he's okay,
everybody's like,
Jesus,

You save a guy's life.
And you get the hand treatment.

Put the mustache signal up in the sky.
Just put the stash, put the
handle bar up against.
You see I got a mustache today?
Oh, I love it, bro.

Showing each other their mustache is making head to lean
like halfway to the camera.

who c j leslie and this is many years ago um c j leslie did

Apropos. It's got to be apropos of something. Apropos of what?
Apropos of what we're talking about. Am I fucking that word up?
Sounds like it but I wasn't listening for the first part.
Let's look up the apropos meaning I could never even spell it. Can you spell
apropos? Yeah. How? A P-R-O-P-O-S. What if you were from New Orleans?
E-A-U-X
You got it
Joe Burroughs

Because my man is like
He's the sports hero
And he's doing the sports hero
thing on the court
Is that meta
So he's a hero
On and off the court
While on the court
Yeah dude
It's like a
simultaneously on and off the court.
He's a hero.
It's heroception.
It's a hero.
It's a heroic act inside of a heroic act.
Congratulations, C.J. Leslie.
What's he doing now?
I hope he's okay.
He plays somewhere.
Born in 91.
Okay.
He's from Holly Springs.
Maybe we should go down there and do a green light on the road and find C.J. Leslie.
Oh, no, he's in Israel.
So it's going to be hard to do that with our budget.
He's playing, golly, he's in 1991.
I think the pod's got to send him a cake.
He looked, I'm not going to say this in the pod.
Look how fucking old.
He looks older than me, bro.
Let me see this.
I mean, I know I'm a fucking young-looking dude, but obviously.
Chris, you look really young.
Thank you.
I appreciate that, Beau.
I compliment for you for the day.
Thank you.

That experience stressed him out
He never been
Yeah he's sacrificed bro
He put on for his city
He put on for Holly Springs
The kid he lifted up
Yeah
Once lifted started screaming
Woo! Let's go
Because he was excited about the win
Is that in an article?
Yeah
Who wrote it the guy from Alabama Times
Alabama dot com?
Daily.com
they probably picked it up from the triangle
Chris the other night you tweeted your top five cereals
One cereal was admitted
CT crunch
And we later found out why
Jensen Karp set the Tudosphere of Blaze
The last couple days with his
Findings of shrimp tails
In a cinnamon toast crunch bag
Allegedly
Allegedly allegedly or just clumps of cinnamon sugar
all right can i say something real quick i made this happen i did this after virginia lost bow i tried to divert my
entire timeline away from the fact that i was in misery and i just said not as much misery as you i want to be
respectful you cared more um big big cares the most guy here so so anyways professional asshole
yeah well that's undeniable but also professional compliment giver
making like your mustache like it a lot hair looks great too today what a voluminous
head of lettuce you got you got you got a nice smile brother thanks beau
bow kind eyes thank you I now you got to compliment me that that plant over your left
shoulder looks healthy as hell right yeah yep thanks man you're welcome anything else
yeah look at those dimples now we're talking I could
jump into those dimples as if they were a ball pit of some sort, like a Chuckie cheese.
Yeah?
Yeah, they're pretty.
Why you're sitting back so much now?
I feel myself.
Why'd you back away from the iPad?
Because he wanted to show you his packs, nice packs, Bo.
Nice, bro.
Here's the deal.
I said anybody want to rate top five cereals thinking everybody would probably roast me trying to be funny
because my team just lost.
We know what you're doing.
Instead, the entire internet was like,
hoho, right, some Cheerios.
So basically, my man saw this huge rating.
I mean, I woke up at the morning.
And it was a trending topic.
Prudy Pebbles was trending because I was being an idiot online.
And I figured this guy got swept up in things and said,
hey, let me stage this big shrimp gate thing.
Now, what say you, Bo?
Is this real?
Yeah.
And it's a fucking nightmare, dude.
This is what I'm thinking, right?
You sit down, you got a nice bowl of cinnamon toast crunch.
You've been looking forward to it.
It's a morning.
This is a good way to start your day.
The thing that I go back to, you're looking at your phone, you're fucking eating your
cinnamon toast crunch, and you feel an extra fucking crunch, right?
And you're like, huh, that's kind of weird, but you just keep going because it's called
cinnamon toast crunch.
Then all of a sudden, you're fucking rooting around in your mouth, and you pull it out,
you're like, it's a shrimp tail, dude.
I think that the cinnamon flavor would mask the shrimp tail flavor for long enough that you could
legitimately eat that.
You don't know how many of you've eaten.
And you know how this goes.
What happened to you in Dallas at the four seasons?
I mean, long story short, I was eating chicken soup or something.
And I got a fingernail in it, a big toenail.
Oh.
Is that incredible?
Very vividly a big toenail.
Yeah.
But, I mean.
I think the cinnamon toast crunch is like the ultimate betrayal.
Oh, I think the toenails probably worse.
And another thing is if you think, and four seasons didn't fully resolve this, did they?
No, they told me it was a piece of plastic.
I was like, motherfucker.
I know.
And the thing I know, I know what toenails taste like.
That's what you said on the fucking pod.
And I was like, what?
But if you expect, if you expect General Mills to, because they probably taste like
fingernails, which have you ever been nervous. I've never been nervous.
I think people just instinctively know what toenails taste like.
Next. I actually don't think they, like, listen, if you're General Mills, you don't apologize.
Why apologize? If you apologize, you're buried, bro. Everybody knows it was a piece of shrimp.
if you believe this guy who is, I don't trust this guy. Don't trust the guy. All the people in his
life call him a liar.
Yeah, I mean, listen, he just
kind of, I'm telling you, he ripped it
off our fucking serial rankings. He saw
a hot cereal was. He saw
cinnamon toast crunch was trending, and he
was like, oh, let me frame, let me
do a frame shrimp gate,
become famous. He's been a white rapper.
No offense to white rappers. There are some that
I love, like Action Bronson,
you know, like...
Kid Rock. Eminem.
Sure. Love Eminem. Joe Scudda.
This cat's married to Topanga, which is
Pretty cool.
Wait, what?
The serial guy?
Yeah, serial guy.
He was married to Topanga.
Yes.
And IRL in real life.
That was really a cool moment when I figured out what that meant.
Stunning to me.
I get that it's gross.
I also think this guy's incredibly lucky if it was really him.
Like regular people don't have time to take days off work and like CSI bags, some
shrimp tails and go get them like test run on them.
or like and so general mills is like i don't care if you're verified it's not a shrimp tail prove it
like you're actually this is his big moment though bro like his this has been in the works for
that's why white wrapping career because he made it up but if he didn't make it up it's still hard
to prove and they know it'll blow blow away like it'll blow over if if you actually admit to a
shrimp in your cereal you're done that's a denied to you die situation no there's no way to
come back from shrimp in their cereal, confirm.
If they put out a statement explaining why there was shrimp in their cereal,
even if there was a really good reason,
people are not doing it anymore.
They're not doing cinnamon toast crunch anymore.
I think that they need to pivot and make shrimp tail cereal.
Ooh, sugary shrimp tail cereal.
Just in the shave of shrimp tails.
This week, Winston-Salem Disco-Turkeys were revealed as the latest minor league team in the country.
Could this possibly be the best minor league team of all time?
Best name for like it's in the running, the disco turkeys?
Nah.
You're nonplussed?
Oh, very good.
I'm nonpluss.
Try hard.
I don't really like turkeys or discos.
Oh yeah, that's true.
That's true.
I would just say this.
Like, I really think minor league teams,
they do a really good job of setting up their names.
They crowdsource.
they do a really good job of
not trying to make it too hard core
but being like yeah we've got fucking
oysters here we're the shuckers
Montgomery biscuits
like we got we got biscuits here
there's a fucking
there's a place up in New York
that has a bunch of carousels
it's supposedly carousel
city it's called Binghamton
and it could be butchering this
but they're the Binghamton
Rumble Ponies I saw that last night
their logo looks like if a horse
at a birthday party got impaled
with a piece
of a carousel, like broken off
at both ends so it was really sharp.
Disgusting logo.
Like final destination?
Yeah, like final destination meets a carousel.
How about the making bacon?
That's a real thing?
Yep.
Really?
They play in the Coastal Plain League.
What's a coastal plane look like?
Coastal Plain is, you know, like a coast?
Yeah.
Are you familiar with planes?
Yeah.
You got it.
It's like Jackson O'Hare.
Right.
A coastal plane, you're like a plane that has the buoy so you can land on the coast.
Yes.
I was thinking about an airplane, dude.
I wasn't thinking I was a coastal plane.
Like a geological, I don't know.
He was just, he's been taking tubble teams.
Modesto nuts.
Yep.
Good one.
Modesto nuts is a good one.
You should see the walnut.
on that fucking logo.
I know you're talking about minor league
teams, right, but my high school
mascot, Minnetonka
skippers.
Ooh, which is all about open water?
Open water, baby.
Open water, baby.
That's a good one.
Hampton Cravers.
Yeah, yeah.
Hampton, a lot of great athletes from there.
The polka dots
in West Virginia, P-O-C-A.
That's a high school?
Poka dots.
A high school?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
There's zero chance.
Are they good at football?
No basketball.
They get dotted.
Guarantee you that's the thing.
Isn't that something they say in basketball?
I don't know.
Dotted.
Listen, the best one might be Albuquerque isotopes, though.
Backstory here, okay?
And by the way, they get all these names from like the newspaper, right?
Like they poll 6,000 older people that read the newspaper
and they literally vote on major AAA ball teams names.
Albuquerque isotopes.
I get and read the newspaper
So the isotopes are actually named after a Simpsons reference
Right
Yeah did you watch Simpsons?
Oh yeah
So do you remember there's a baseball team in there
Like Springfield something
I don't know
And like Springfield isotopes dude
No they were getting threat
Were they the isotopes or were they getting threatened
To move
They were the Springfield isotopes
And because he worked at the power plant
That's what they called an isotopes
And then he went on a hunger strike
because they were threatening
to move to Albuquerque.
So,
apropos there, isn't it?
That's...
It's hell apropos.
That's meta-apropos.
And it's meta the way we're ending this pod.
Bo.
Stay safe in Florida, dude.
I'm trying, man.
There's a lot of sunlight out here.
I'm trying.
I know.
What SPF do you wear?
300.
Does they really make 300?
No.
For you, they might.
But they did.
I'd use it.
You walk outside your eye.
eyes are just like, ah, fuck.
They're so blue.
I've been sweating since I've moved
down here. Yeah.
Oh, blue eyes?
Tell me more.
All right, Bo Allen.
Dang, this has been fun.
I love you, Bill.
Mee-D, I love you too, brother.
