Hey, Barstool listeners, you can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon music. Barstool Sports. Brandon Walker, Mostly Sports. Welcome to Mostin Sports. I'm Mark Titus. He is Brandon Walker. Today is Friday.

September 15th. Brandon is standing up, waving to no one in particular. What do you want to talk about, Brandon? Are the Eagles good because I can't tell? I don't think they can tell. I don't think Eagles fans can tell. Nobody knows. I think the Eagles are 2 and O, and that's all that really matters right now.

It is all that matters, but for us, we need to be able to discuss if they're good or not. They're banged up. How are you banged up in week two? I don't know. They are. It shouldn't be banged up in week two. They're banged up, though. It took me months to bang my one.

Huh? What happened? They're, they're, they're two and oh. I don't know. It is funny because it feels like both games they play. They've not, they've not, like, particularly great. don't finish well. Yeah.

They don't finish strong. They have moments where it looks like they are in firm control of the game. Yeah. And it looks like they're about to just, what was it, 27-7 last night or 27 at some point? Yeah, they played like shit for most of it. Like the only offense was really just bombing the ball to Devante Smith and letting him. I really enjoyed that game thoroughly last night. I really did.

I thought it was. Hold on. Hold on. Are we about to get box score Brandon? Is this box score Brandon? I feel like you made it clear that you were going to a high. school football game last night. I'm worried that, I'm worried that we're getting box score brand. I have observations. I have observations. I'm worried that three minutes into the show we're

getting box score branded. Listen, I, the key thing about last night's game to me, what I saw using these eyeballs, and I've been watching football for a long time. And the thing you got to know is watching football is not an exact science. So I am somebody who watched the game and came up with these observations. The thing I came up with, and this is key because I have watched football for a while. and not just anybody can watch football and come up with these observations. So when it comes to the Eagles right now, and the Eagles played the Vikings last night,

and the Eagles went to the Super Bowl last year, the Vikings were a playoff team too. Everybody watching thinks their stream is like... The Vikings are quarterback... The Vikings are quarterback by Kurt Cousins. The Eagles have Jalen Hertz. Now Jalen Hertz had a great final year at Oklahoma. He had a couple years of Alabama as well.

But watching last night, one thing struck me. It was the fact that Jalen Hertz was 18 for 23, 193 yards, and a touchdown. And I think anybody watching that would have come away with the same thought. Box score Brandon. It's box score Brandon. Listen. My high school team won 62 to 13.

We killed them. Killed them. Oh, man. Number three for us is can fly. He can fly. It's incredible. You get into the high school, the local team. I saw that the high school team's getting into you.

Well, they saw the high school team. Now they know that I'm coming. You're becoming a celebrity around those parts. Are you the second most famous guy in that town now? I'm top three. No, the Thursday night game was, it felt like a stinker, but then it was, it probably wasn't good football, but in the end it became like interesting at least. The Vikings got problems because Kurt Cousins, Justin Jefferson were great.

I mean, Kurt Cousins, they were great late, I guess. I guess Kurt Cousins kind of compiled his stats in the second half. But, like, they were going to, that defense is bad. Like, they're not very good. Nothing about that team scares you outside of Justin Jefferson. But also at the same time, they handed the game to the Buccaneers in week one. They kind of handed the game to the Eagles. The Buccaneers aren't good.

I know, that's what I'm saying. I think what's going on with the Vikings is that the bill has come due for last year. They were so lucky last year. They had so many close games that they eked out last year. And then, were they like 13 and four last year? And they got their ass kicked in the losses. Yeah. And then in the playoffs, the Giants just handled them.

Yeah, they got exposed. I think this year, maybe all of the luck they had last year has just run out. Because they are addicted to fumbling the football. They are addicted to turn the ball over. You saw the Justin Jefferson. I'm sure you saw this on Twitter. Through the back of the end zone. Yeah.

Yeah. No, I did see it. Yeah, during a timeout at the high school game. Right. Yeah, when you're going to get. Not timeout. When you're standing in line. Timeouts are long enough to check Twitter.

How much are hot dogs at the high school games? I don't know. I didn't get one. I don't have to pay. You think I'm paying for stuff at fucking this high school? Come on. No. Which sparks another discussion.

Yeah. If I, and this is a discussion that goes on a lot. But if I'm running down the field and I'm at the seven yard line and I fumble the football and it goes out of bounds, I get the ball at the seven yard line. Right. If I fumble the ball at midfield, you don't get it unless you recover it. Right. But if I'm at the end zone and I fumble the.

over that white line, you all of a sudden get it and get 20 yards of field position. As it turns out, I learned this last night, you actually don't even have to fumble it over the white line. You fumble it over a scosh of the ball, just a scosh. Right, over that orange thing. Just one little scosh. Mm-hmm. Goes over that scosh of the orange thing.

Yeah. Then you get the football. How did we come up with the word pylon for that thing? I actually, I'm going to look that up. I have no idea. Well, yeah. Is the word pylon used ever in any other? No, this is the only use for the word pylon.

Like there's nothing else like it. Yeah. Pylon. It's a good name. It's a good name. It's a well-named. You think it's the company that makes it? Like Q-Tip?

It's a good question. Where else are pylons in the world? An ancient Egyptian gateway building in a truncated pyramidal form. Pyrmal. Yeah, that's what I was thinking it was. It's also could be called a structure on the wing of an aircraft used for carrying an engine, weapon, fuel tank, or other load.

It's a pyramid, you said, though? Because the football pylons aren't a pyramid. T.J. pulls up Marion Webster. They have an illustration of it and it's, uh, yeah. It would be cool. I don't know whatever that is. Yeah. Yeah. It would be cool if pylons were shaped like pyramids, although I don't think there would be functionally well. What if somebody gets stabbed? Somebody dove for the pylon and impaled himself.

So the idea is that you have two pylons and that's the gateway. Well, there's four. I know, but in the football sense. Those back pylons don't get any love. They don't do anything. They don't do shit. They don't do shit. They're not even on the... They're like third base umpires.

But they're not even on the... On the lines, right? Who cares where they are? But they put them, they're not even. Oh, you think they're in that back corner past the white? No, they're in the back corner. No, the ones that are by the goalpost. Don't they have like a pylon that's like five yards away from the end zone?

I don't know. I don't even really know what it does. Two in the front corner, two in the back corner. How many pylons on a football field? Brandon, you like trivia. How many pylons? So I would say eight. Guess the pylons.

I would say eight, but if you think there's extra pylons and there could be ten. I swear there are extra pylons. Then there's a pylon floating back there? They got floating pylons. Is there a floating pylon? Come on, guys. There's why you're here. There are eight total.

That's what it says. There's eight. I don't know if there is. Corner, corner, corner, corner. Now, it might vary based on what league. It might be different in college. But have you noticed some fields have a pylon at the first down. They've been putting first downline pylons.

Ebo, hit me with it. I have a Auburn, Alabama game from, I don't know what year it's from, but there is a pylon like near the goal pole. Right. And it's just back there doing nothing. It's just hanging out. It's about like a yard off the. What is that for?

Is that the kick six game? Yeah, I guess. It's like a yard off the back. I guess it does technically count. What does that pylon do? What does that? But your question, what should happen in that instance? Yes.

When, when I, so I don't think the offense should be. I think you should get the ball where you funneled it. Ish. Yeah, bring the ball back to where you fumbled it. What about what about bringing it back and then penalizing a few yards? What if you bring the ball? it back and then like also take five yards away. A fumble is not always something that's punitive to you.

Sometimes you recover your own fumble. So you shouldn't award the ball to the defense who didn't recover it. Right. The defense didn't do anything. You should have to recover it. Yeah, I agree. And especially, I guess you're taking away the incentive on the offensive guy to make cool-ass plays.

Right. Which is- You need guys laying out and twisting and bending. You want guys to go for it. Risk their lives in as many ways as possible. I think maybe the solution is Yeah like bring it back to the seven But then take away five yards as well And then everybody wins because you're like

So now you're at the 12 Because the defense I guess you could argue What's the penalty there? The defense has technically causing in the fumble Yeah So they should get like something out of it Maybe Can't tell you the most

But then you're right In the normal run of play In the middle of the field If it goes out of bounds at the 50 Nothing happens This is the last time I will do this but my biggest highlight for me last night at the high school game

I was standing on the sidelines and there was a kickoff and kicked off right in front of me and he came back and I saw a block in the back and I went I took my... I took my imaginary flag and I threw it

and right after I did it the real ref threw his real flag so I saw it like it was so awesome we got to get that tape yeah are you on the field for these games you can't field passes I can't be in the stands you are on the first

realize how famous I am. You are on the field. Are you by yourself? No, you got to understand, see. Does Tommy come with? No, no. You're just solo with your arms crossed at a high school football game on the field? My daughter, my daughter goes.

Okay. She's a freshman. And I really stand on the field so I can look in the stands and make sure she's okay. So there's an actual reason there. So just get off my fucking back about it. But you're by yourself. I'm talking to my buddies. I have buddies there.

I have my buddies. How many players have you slapped on the ass at this high school football on this high school football team? None. How many times have you been like good shit boy? No ass slaps. Didn't get a high five last night. Digging a high five. And I think I snipe the high five.

I think it was going to somebody else. I like, he reached straight up, but I had to do this. Right. Where do you stand? Is it a sideline? Is it in the end zone? About 15 and 20. Is it the, okay.

About 15 and 20. So first 10 years... Back end zone guy. First 10 years of... No, that sucks. First 10 years of my career, I was a high school sports writer, and I used to walk the sidelines,

and I fucking love it. And I just... What are you doing? Like, looking for scoops? No, that's how you do. If you don't have... If you're a one-man sports department, you don't have, like, a statistician,

you just got to walk with the play and write down what the stats are. Okay. But I took... You're just following the ball. You're following the ball. When you said, walk the sideline, I thought you were, like, pacing on you...

Pacing. Yeah. Coach, have we thought about blitzing every now? No, pop into the huddles. No, I don't do that. Yeah. Can I announce something? Go ahead.

All right, chat. We're going to have our Friday news dump here in a minute. But the chat will get involved. We're involving the chat later in the show, correct? Mm-hmm. So be ready, Chad. You're going to work in just a second. It's the audience in all forms, I'd say.

The chat, the commenters that watch after, the people on social. Yeah. Everybody. Everybody. Okay. Well, it's everybody who consumes this show. Yeah. Good announcement, Brandon.

I'm having a poor hair day. Okay. Also, a good announcement. Yeah, last night was fun because there were a lot of turnovers. It ended up being a close game. But I don't know. It also felt like Thursday night football can't get out of its own way. Thursday night football has gotten better.

But also, the problem with Thursday night football is the second the football is not great. Everyone's like, this is fucking Thursday night football. I have a take. It stinks. What? Al Michaels is one of the goat announcers. Kirk Curb Street is an incredible announcer. Together they kind of stink.

They stink. Together they kind of stink. The voices don't work together. It doesn't. This guy's great. This guy's great. But you put them together and you think, oh, it's going to be magic. And it really kind of sucks.

There's no world in which Kirk Herb Street actually knows everything that he needs to know about all these guys and all these teams. He does too many games. He does way too many games. Yeah. So I understand that he knows football. and you can watch a play and tell me what happened on that play. But Kirk is in trouble trying to figure out how to talk about this shit because it's just generalities.

And then Al Michaels... I mean, he's old. He's up there. He's getting up there. But I think... Do you think he's the goat? I mean, he's close, right? He's one of them.

He's in the goat conversation for sure. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, he's... How would he not be? Yeah, I guess he's the goat. I can't think of who wouldn't be. Yeah. I can't think of who...

Are we talking in all sports or just football? I think like Al Michaels calling anything has my attention. Correct. Yeah. It's important if Al Michaels is calling it. Yeah, but it matters. I think that's part of the problem is that Al Michaels is now calling Thursday Night Football on a app that Jeff Bezos created like five years ago.

When Al Michaels was 70. And they're cutting in with commercials of fucking like the shittiest Aquaman movie. Like I thought that was like a skit when I was watching that trailer for Aquaman. I kept waiting for like Pete Davidson. show up and you know i thought this was like a comedy how bad it was they make a new aquaman right was it was the number the trailer we saw called the lost kingdom or something like that it was garbage wasn't the first kingdom lost it's a good point i mean it's in the ocean we didn't know where it was the other lost kingdom oh the other lost there's a lot of lost kingdoms out there

well the ocean's very very big uh yeah but nobody nobody nobody tore their achilles last night you know there was no uh there was just like kind of nothing interesting in that regard uh the viking the viking the i think the viking this guy hates achilles I kept watching. Can I get one torn Achilles? Can I get one starting quarterback? But what do you think about the Vikings? I assume what's our schedule?

I'm glad you brought this up, Brandon, because I think the Vikings are a better football team than the Vikings would be very high on Kinpom if this was college basketball. Because I think they're O&2. They're obviously the worst. But I don't think losing to the Bucks is a good O&2.

If half of your losses is to the Bucks at home, I don't think that's a good O&2. It's not, but they're a football team right now that is the what if football. team. They're like, what if Justin Jefferson had scored on that touchdown? What if we didn't fumble in the red zone for the Eagles and hand in points? What if? What if? What if, what if? Yeah. What if? What if everything that happened in the game went differently? We would have won. That's, that's the Vikings. I think they're a good football

team that just can't, that's addicted to fumbling. So there's always, after this week, there's always who's the worst two and O team. Who's the best O and two team? Yeah, they're the best O and two. You think you would already slot them in as possibly. Although you don't know who the other O and two teams Yeah, so last year the story of the Vikings was they were the worst, however many wins they had. Right. They're the worst 13 win team in the league. This year it's going to be that they're the best,

just look at how many losses they have. They're the best two-lost team right now in football. So I would certainly rather be the worst, the worst 13-win team than the best nine-lost team or the best 10-lost team, whatever they're going to end up being. Yeah, the problem, though, moving forward with them, the problem, if you'll allow me to read some schedules here. The Vikings won the job.

division last year. They did. So now they have a hard schedule. Mm-hmm. So now they're 0-2. They got it right to ship ran it. They play the Chargers next week. Then you're at the Panthers.

Oh, that seems fine. That seems fine. Then you've got to play the Chiefs. Oh. Then you're at the Bears, division game. Seems fine as well. Then you play the Niners at home. Oh, no.

Then you're at the Packers. Son of a bitch. At the Falcons. Motherfucker. Then they play the Saints. God damn. Then they're at the Broncos. We're dead.

Bears. Seems fine. At Raiders. Bye week. Bye. At Raiders. Okay. At Bengals.

All right. Lyons. Talk to me. Packers. There it is. Then at Lions. It's in this season. So that's the Viking schedule.

I love reading schedules, dude. I love reading schedules. I just love looking at it going. That has legs. That's an either or game. It could win that one. If they win that one, that's going to be good. lose it could be trouble.

No, well, the thing about the Eagles that I noticed last night, though, is this was true last year, but it became, as the Eagles offense, it wasn't bad, but it was also like stalling. And then they started, Swift was running the ball down the Vikings throat. But the Eagles quarterback sneaks have become a thing. And they became a thing last year, I know. Right. But they became a thing again last night for me because I'm watching this going Galaxy

Brain thinking, why? do the Eagles not do this literally every single play. If the off, if like the passing game's not working, and it was kind of ish, like they would bomb passes, like I said, Devante Smith. But what was really successful was running the football, if the Eagles get a situation where they're having trouble moving the ball, why don't they just simply quarterback sneak every single time?

Because they get three, they get at least three yards every time they do it. Okay, several elements to this play, right? First of all, the running backs for the Eagles at some point have to look around and be like, all right, this is kind of bullshit. Like, DeAndre's Woods have 28, they let him carry it 28 times, 175 yards. He had one touchdown. Jalen Hertz, 12 carries 37 yards.

Box score Brandon. Two touchdowns, right? But every time they get to the one yard line, it's always the tush push or whatever you want to call it or they're always pushing him in, push the running back in. Why don't you, watch you guys. Hit it to the running back and then push. Let Jaylen Hertz push every now and then. How about that?

Could he push? Is this like a fantasy football thing for you? I don't know. I don't know. Do you, do you have? What would be the funniest way, if we had to come up with a way to stop the Eagles quarterback sneak, what would be the funniest way to do it? Um, I don't know.

Kind of give credit to TJ, but banana peels at the line of scrimmage would be funny. Just dropping banana peels. Yes, and he slips. He can't, he can't drive. What about, what about when the, remember Little Giants? When the guy needed to create space of the line scrimmage, so he turned around and he farted? Yeah. Just fart.

We have a designated farder. Yeah. No? I like, yeah. smell bad? Is that your... Well, no, to make the lines scrimmish smell bad, so it doesn't want to dive into it.

Super drunk, de linemen that just puke all over the place, has the ball snapped? That's, that's a good, that's a good answer. It's just got to be some sort of diversion. Because if you know,

even when you know that the sneak is coming, it doesn't seem like you can stop it. So you have to do something to like... Glock in the chat said dig a moat. I guess really fast. A moat would work. I don't know why nobody's thought about a trench of some sort. Have a knife hidden in your sock.

Stab the... moats are funny in general moats are pretty funny I'd love a moat around my house yeah it would it would be so inconvenient the upkeep would I mean the lazy river moat I think

I think when you're when you're an adolescent that's a daydream that most of us have had a lazy river going around your property yeah when I get older I'm going to have a lazy river moat right yeah

and a drawbridge leading to my front door a drawbridge yes drawbridges are fun drawbridge I always thought growing up that drawbridges will probably have a bigger role in my life than they end up doing like there's not a lot of drawbridges in the world no not a lot of private residences with drawbridges anymore and i i was led to believe that they were everywhere that they were yeah like all the rich people had them yeah that one of my big challenges in life well how do i get into a house with a drawbridge

yeah but i guess like you got trick them into opening it that's how you do it there has to be at least one episode of Cribs where some trashy celebrity had a had a drawbridge and maybe that was it like someone someone tried it and we all saw it and we're just like that looks terrible Fred Durst had a drawbridge. Come on in guys. It's my drawbridge. It has it lowered. It played rolling.

I can see that happening. But why don't the Eagles to sneak every play? Why not? Probably because they would kill their quarterback. probably because their quarterback would die and they kind of like him and they would like him to be around. Yeah.

He already hurts. I'm sorry. It's good. Jesus. Take a point away from Brandon. That was terrible. That was, take a point.

Why? We're just throwing things. That's a bad joke. It's Friday. But that's a bad, that's a bad joke. That's a bad joke for the season one finale of mostly sports. Oh my God.

What a season it was. We had a great season. What a season that was. I mean, the office first season only had six episodes. That's true. So our first season only had four episodes. Yeah,

We only had four episodes. That's a good point. And the office first season sucked as well. My dad loves, uh, we are taking a six-month break after this episode. Yeah, we're going to. We need to do the office diversity day episode. Yeah. Just a straight reading of it.

Brandon, Brandon's going to get hair plugs in the, between season one and two, like, like, Steve grilled. Get my teeth fixed. My dad loves telling the story. He coached junior high football once upon a time, and he opened the game running eight quarterback sneaks. Yeah. And if you ask him why, he's like, I ran a quarterback, they received the kickoff.

His team received the kickoff and the first play they ran was a quarterback sneak. And you can take that if you want. If that's more important than doing the show, go ahead. Go ahead. We can, we can. No, we go ahead. You just let me know when you're ready, Brandon. You let me know.

Can we like drop the stream and we'll bring it back up when Brandon's ready? If we could, we could pause. Somebody DM me, man. Somebody DM me a clip of the show and I was like, I was like, okay, that's my guy. FSU Brando, do you? I mean, look at the show. No, it's all right. That's all right.

Let's go. All right. Your dad, I'm sorry. My dad used to love telling stories too, but he's dead. He said that he opened the game running a quarterback sneak because he goes, I thought that would be the one play that they wouldn't see coming. Did it work? Yeah, and he's like, and it worked.

So you know what you ran the second play? Kubey sneak. Kubey sneak because he's like, no one in their right mind would run two in a row. Right. And it worked. Play three. He scored. He's like, he's like, I got stuck in a logic circle where I was just like,

I have to run quarterback sneak every single play. Now, when you said it, say it worked, how does it work? They scored a touchdown. Three yards, four yards, five yards? They scored a touchdown. They broke loose. Yeah, they scored a touchdown in the opening drive, just running quarterback sneaks. Because he's like, after six quarterback sneaks, there's no way that they would think

that I would run the seven. But, God damn it, I did it. You know what? I think the Eagles should do that. I think the Eagles should sneak every play. On Madden and NCAA and all the video game football, the QIPP, the QIP sneak never really works. Oh, there was an era of Madden when it was completely broken.

Really? Yeah. Yeah. So there was an era where you could run it against just like a regular like non-goal line front with the really slow. And just find a hole. But you can only do it with slow quarterbacks because then your line would get down field and you would just kind of fall forward for five yards every time.

Another other thing that happened last night I wanted to talk to you about is Michael Buffer. They brought Michael Buffer in to do the let's get ready to rumble. Now what are your thoughts about this? Because you said you want to talk about it. about it, but you didn't tell me your thoughts. Yeah, I was going to tell you my thoughts on the show. Seems like that's the right place to do it.

I think Michael Buffer, again, legend of the game. Can we see it, T.J.? I mean, if we can see it, that would help make your point. I mean, it's Michael Buffer. But you were going to make a comment on his performance. Right? I was going to make a comment on Michael Buffer in general. Well, I thought it was his performance.

Seeing Michael Buffer. See Michael Buffer. See, if you've been clear with it. me we would have known that. Seeing Michael Buffer outside of boxing or UFC or hearing the let's get ready to rumble, it doesn't play for me. Really? It doesn't play for me.

It needs to be in a fight scenario. Yeah. It needs to be in a fight scenario. I'm fine with that. Yeah. I think, because I also know how the sausage is made a little too much. I know that Michael Buffer got paid $100 million to be there last night and he didn't

actually want to be there. And I think the lie I tell myself at boxing matches and, you know, UFC fights and all that, is that Michael Buffer, like, lives in this arena, and he just, like, pops up, and he's so fucking jacked to the tits to say, let's get ready to rumble. But whenever it shows up, whenever he shows up at, like, game two of the NBA finals

and does it, I kind of know that this is inauthentic. I would argue that he might have the longest career ever for somebody with one skill, one marketable skill. Like, the fact that he did the Ready to Rumble thing in the 90s was impressive and he became big. He's still doing it 33 years later.

that's remarkable. Was it him or Bruce that started this? It was him. He was first. He was first? He was first. He was first. He was first.

He was first. He was first. He was also estranged for like 40 years. Okay. Do you know the buffer brother's story? I don't. That's why I'm at, I don't. I thought they were the same person for most of my life.

It's one of the craziest stories ever. So in 1989, Michael Buffer is doing a fight. Maybe a Tyson fight. I don't know. But he's doing a fight. Bruce Buffer is watching it. Bruce Buffer's like, whoa, wait a minute.

And then Bruce Buffer, they have, they have the same dad. They don't know their brothers. They don't know they exist. Bruce Buffer's dad, I believe, says, yeah, it connects them and they find out they've been brothers the whole time. They never met.

They're both announcers. It's a wild-ass story. They saw them on TV. It was... Saw them on TV. He was like, hey, that's weird. And they both had the same last name. That would probably...

Or no, did they not have. Is Buffer a stage name? But I guess they would have had the same last name. But he would have been Buffer on TV. I don't know if Buffer's a stage name. That's pretty crazy. Yeah. I didn't know that.

Would you rather be Bruce or Michael Buffer? I don't know the difference. I don't know what the difference is between the... Michael is the let's get ready to rumble guy and Bruce is the UFC guy. What does Bruce do? Does he have a catchphrase? It's time.

Is it... It's time. It's time! I think that's what his is. Something like that. So I... Michael's better. Let's get ready to rumble is iconic.

Bruce owns UFC now, which is a good thing to own. Not own... Again, I say you ask me a question which one would I rather be. I know nothing about either one of these guys other than that they just show up and say four words.

And then they get paid a ton, right? I would assume they get paid very well. Yeah. What do you think Michael Buffer's net worth this? I'm more interested. Can we see every time Michael Buffer says, let's get ready to rumble? Darren Rovel had to have tweeted about that at some point.

His fee? Yeah, what's his fee to show up at an Eagles game and say, let's get ready to rumble. I have what he makes per match. Yeah, you've got the same thing pulling up on your phone too. Yeah. $400 million. It says he makes between $25,000 and $100,000 every time he says those words.

Crazy. And he says those words a lot. And then there aren't a lot of words, though. Can I? What if we raised $25,000 and got him to come here and say it for us? Start a scratch. to kick off Who says no?

Do you say no? Season two debut. Do you say no? Is Michael Buffer? I mean, you got the money. That's not a bad idea. It's not the worst idea of ever had. That's not a bad idea.

Connor, did you ever have a catchphrase when you were thinking of your broadcasting career? We got to get him a catchphrase. Did you ever sit around when you were like 12 years old and you thought you wanted to be a broadcaster? Do you ever think what would my catchphrase be? No, there was a point where I was really obsessed with Anchorman. and so I did do the champ kind

and like whammy. And I realized I was just like copying somebody else. I was like, this is dumb. No, I never really had one. So if we could think of one, that would be amazing. Because I don't have one.

I've never had one in my reference. We're using the chat for another reason today, but I wouldn't mind the chat weighing in on catchphrases. What should Connor's catchphrase be? Yeah, that's our goal for next week, come up with his catchphrase. We got to hone in on what Connor's catchphrase would be. Because also I didn't start doing play-by-play until college.

and by that point it was like, okay, well, I feel like it might be already too late. Are you willing to adopt this catchphrase? Yeah, no, I would do it. If the chat has a good recommendation. Well, not right now. We'll do that. What you think about catchphrases is they are stupid at first.

And then you just almost have to just, there's a window of time where the self-doubt creeps in and you're like, did I really, you're my brain and you're looking in the mirror after like the 12th game that you've just been yelling bang. Yeah. And you're like, should I drop this? Like is the only bang when a, when a ball goes through a hoop, really the move?

But then if you persevere and it sticks, then you got something. But what about the back half of that? Like the life cycle of a catchphrase, the first 30% is him trying to get it over. And then it's over and it's big. What about like now 30 years, 40 years in his career? Do you think he's just tired saying bang? Yeah. That's probably, yeah.

Yeah. But because even 10 years after he announces, somebody's going to drag him out of golf ball and say, do bang. Do the bang thing. Say bang. Remember when you double banged? Yeah, he did double bang. Steph Curry. Best calls ever is what he does the double bang.

Yeah, but the first time he did bang, like the color guy sitting next to him was probably like... What? What the fuck are you doing, dude? You're talking about. Do we need to read the ad? You know, I don't really view it as reading the ad. I view it as telling people about my friends at cars.com.

What's this? Cameo. Camio. The buffers on Cameo for $375. dollars if we want to pull some money we might be able to get him we might be able to get him to let's get ready to rumble for us i would get sick of it i would have you would have to saying let's get ready to rumble 400 million dollars titus that's true for a cameo 400 million dollars do you think the elites uh welcome him into the club like do because like he's got illuminati

money at this but there are no he's got the he's got the like he's got enough money to like you know, he's rubbing elbows with some rich fucks. Do you think that they are like, do you think it's cool that he's there? Or do you think that they're like, we, we have built our empires on slave labor. You just say,

let's get ready to rumble. Like you're not the, we are not the same Michael Buffett. But he has no peers, right? There's no, there's no bucket you can put him into. There's no other famous PA announcers. Yeah.

He's the only one, or him and Bruce. They're the only ones. So it's like he doesn't have a social circle. It's just the buffers. Yeah, so you don't think he's going to Hollywood parties? The Michael Rubin White Party.

He's hitting up, can I use the word Riz? You have permission to use it. Permission to Riz. He's, he's, what's the, what's the, what's the girl?

Alex Earl. No. He's writhing up, Sidney Sweeney. Oh. Do you think he's doing that? Brandon described Brayette. Who's the girl with the,

you got a little arthritis in your hands for a second. I'm sorry. I was just stretching out. But Sidney's that girl, right? Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

Have you added that word to your arsenal now, Riz? I'm asking permission. Can I use Riz? Yeah, I think that's fine. I feel like that should be a live college trip. Yeah. Say Riz. That's what I thought you were doing.

Say the guy's got Moxy. He's got Riz. He's a great quarterback. All right. Rizzyny bear. It's not reading an ad. It's telling people about my friends at Cars.com. My God, can they help you?

Cars.com is a leading digital market place that connects car shoppers with their perfect car, celebrating 25 years of helping shoppers research, find inventory, finance, and sell cars wherever life takes you next and whoever you're looking to be. There's a car for that at cars.com. Up to 50,000 cars or added daily to cars.com. Shop over 2 million cars for 2 million possibilities. Cars.com, where to next? Now, you said this morning you had an idea for Mr. Griffin. Yeah, my idea for him to read it today was the the halftime report from the sideline reporter who was telling us shit that we don't really like we all saw with their own eyeballs where it's like I talked to the coach John I talked to the I talked

to the coach and he said hey we got to clean up the fumbles yeah we're giving the ball away if we can clean that up in the second half we'll be on to something meanwhile on the other side he said hey let's just let's just keep doing what we're doing let's do our job let's just keep doing our job so look for the more of that in the second half like the big they go they all got like the same cadence of like yeah you're right the end is like let look for more of that in the second half yeah is Is that a good prompt or no? You know, that's great. I just love how we're turning this

into an improv bit every single day. Hey, which is... You do with it, whatever. We don't have to. No, no, no, no, we don't have to. No, we don't have to. We don't have to. This is, no, this is good.

Okay, all right. I want to be better at improv. Okay. So this is putting me on my feet right here. All right. Half time report. Thanks, Mark. You know, I was talking to Cars.com earlier,

and they told me that they are a leading digital marketplace that connects car shoppers with their perfect car. Plenty of cars in their arm. They have a bunch on display. They're celebrating 25 years. It is their 25th anniversary of helping shoppers research, find inventory, finance, and sell cars. Also, little side note, I was talking to Brandon earlier, and he said that he is looking to be somebody. And wherever life takes you next, wherever you're looking to be, whoever you're looking to be,

there is a car for that on cars.com. That's a little bit of an inside scoop that I got from Brandon earlier today. Last thing to keep a note on heading into this second half, they have up to 50. thousand cars that are added daily to cars.com. So shop over two million cars for two million possibilities. It's going to be very interesting to see how those possibilities develop here in the second half, what options they explore, and we're going to send it back to you guys in the booth. Thank you. That was incredible. That was incredible. Good idea. That was the best one yet. That was the best one yet. Oh, my God. That was good. That was good. It felt like Aaron Andrews out there.

It was amazing. One quick announcement for the chat, okay? Okay. We're kind of taking our time here. It's already 936. We're kind of just easing through this thing. We're not, we don't plan to stop at 10 today. We're just going to go until we go, right? I thought we had to be out by 10.

We don't have to be out by anywhere. I thought someone else owns the 10 o'clock time slot. Well, I mean, whatever. They can start whenever they want. We're going. We're going to go and we're going to go. We're going to go. We're going to.

Might be two hour Fridays. Who knows? What? Brandon, really quick before we move on. I did find you a drawbridge house. Yes. It's a castle in Michigan. Oh my God.

Where's the drawbridge, though? It's that little wood piece right there. The wood is. Oh, I see. I see. Does it have functioning water? Does it draw over water? It does look like there's a hole for a moat there.

Yeah, it does look like it could. Huh. Yeah. It looks like water could be like a waterfall. Oh. That's pretty sick. 2.3 million? It is probably like in a subdivision too.

It's not like out on a next door to Jim Harbaugh. He cuts the grass at this house. Would that just scare the shit out of you to live in that place? No, I could pull it off. I've long thought I needed to live in a cat. What's going on with that room? Oh, that's a garage. Jesus.

I thought those were beds. I never had one of those before. What? A bed. Oh, yeah, okay, so it is out in the woods. That makes it cool. I was a moat, a waterfall, a drawbridge. Go ahead.

I don't know what this word is. Elevator, five fireplaces, six new furnaces. What secret words? I got an idea for what a porcolus might be. Is it one of those things you put your garbage on and you lower it down to the lowest floor? I don't know. Well, you need to know what a portcullis is. Somebody.

It's the strong, heavy grading that can be lowered down on grooves. Oh, that thing. That's badass. Yeah. That needs a better name. That does need a better name. Fuck. Porkclis?

That's awesome. That they rules. Look at this dude. Holy shit. What's he doing? This guy rules. Is this sword? He's dressed like gassed on.

Yeah. If you do live in a house like that, you have to... You have to have to have a sword. You have to have a sword. You have to have a collection of swords, probably. Yeah. You have to just go all in on the lifestyle. You have to eat mutton.

Yeah. Yeah. We should go to medieval times. I want to go to this house. I want to pour this house. This isn't the house, is it? This is just a different... Yeah, this is just another porcalus. There's a lot of...

There's a lot of porceles in the world. Where did he get that outfit? Oh, my God. He's got like a waiter's jacket on and leather pants. And what's the... Oh, my God. Yeah, porculous. That's a good thing.

Can I see... He's just showing on. Can I see one last time what all that house had? Yeah. Portculus. And we're saying that we're definitely wrong, right? Yeah, yeah. For show.

It's like porticulous or something. Let's see. Hidden Staircase, Wine Cellar, Tudor-style pub. Um, hidden passageways, hidden doors, secret rooms. I don't know if I want to. What is, what is the number one like, uh, assuming all this is the just stupid shit that you don't really need. Right. What's the number one thing you would do in your house?

Like it's all, this is all a little tacky. Yeah. You're being honest, but it's also kind of cool when you're 12 years old. What's like the number one thing you as an adult you're saying like I actually would do that? I would like a half court basketball in my, like the bottom floor of my house be that. Yeah. Yeah. Wouldn't that be awesome?

Yeah. Just play it all times. Bowling Lane would be cool too, though. Like one, yeah. Yeah, one for me that always fixes itself. Pudding ring, would you do a putting ring? Inside the house, yeah. I can't get the idea out of my head of the secret book shelf.

You pull the book and it like slides. Where's it go to? I actually think I would have. What are you going to put back there? I don't know. My fuck palace. But what about your main fuck palace? I got the secret fuck palace

I got two fuck houses Hey babe tonight Let's go pull the bookshelf Tonight Why don't you Why don't you pull where the sidewalk ends off the bookshelf Let's see what happens next And she opens it

And she turns out She's like oh This guy Anything else from the Viking Tegals game No I think I feel like that's my function on the show is just like every so often

Eagles Vikings is enough. I don't think it was 40 minutes of Eagles Vikings. I think it was a lot of porcolis. College football. Okay. Bad, bad schedule, and I'm okay saying it's a bad schedule. You love saying it's a bad schedule. I love that. Bad schedule, Brandon. As you're a college basketball

guy, correct? Correct. I think your sport does a lot better job in the first couple of weeks when most teams are playing Illinois State and Evansville and bad team. At least pulls out some of the prime time teams and hey Kentucky play Kansas Duke play Gonzaga

and it makes sure that the first few weeks are filled with some matchups that are going to get chances and college football doesn't do that it's because college basketball has had a postseason tournament for a very long time and as such we have rewarded teams that

will play a difficult schedule so yeah there's not college football is still stuck in like we can't we're not ready week one we're not going to risk ourselves final form. So if week one or week two, we play a tough game and we lose, we're out of the national championship, which is not true.

You would have thought Ohio State winning the national championship after losing at home to Virginia Tech would have, like, busted that wide open. Everyone would have said, oh, we can. We can afford to lose. It did not happen, really. Of the best teams, just like Michigan hasn't played anybody yet, Ohio State hasn't played anybody yet. Georgia at least played South Carolina this week. Ohio State went on the road and played a conference team in one by 20.

And every, why, can I get a list of all the time? Let's get you some credit for beating Indiana. Let's do that. Let's get you some credit for beating Indiana. Can I get a list of all the teams that have gone on the road in conference and won by 20 plus? Can I get a list of all the teams of college football that have done that? It's week three. Okay.

So if we would have just stayed at home and played Western Kentucky and won by 70, that would have been better. We stayed at home and played Youngstown State and beating by 28. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I respect the fact that it was week one, like starting the year off. Yeah. On the road against the conference opponent.

but Indiana's garbage. Garbage. What makes you think they're garbage? Garbage. What makes you think they're garbage? What if they're actually good? They're Indiana. They've been garbage for most of the last century.

Tomorrow you got Penn State, Illinois, LSU, Mississippi State. Reaches. Kansas State, Missouri. I do think, okay, so college football does have a knack for when it throws a Saturday at you that you think is going to be bad, it'll throw some chaos at you. Yeah. And now it might be a little early for chaos, but upset's going to happen. I like Missouri to possibly.

beat Kansas State. That's also confirmation bias, though. I think we say that going into every shitty slate. To try to make ourselves. 80% of them are just as shitty as we thought they would be. And then once every so often one pops off. And then we're like, that's why you got to watch every week. You just never know. I think Florida could beat Tennessee. I think Missouri very well can beat Kansas State. Minnesota and North Carolina, I guess is kind of interesting. South Carolina, Georgia is kind of interesting in the fact that Kirby had to lie and make up ways to motivate his team and his fan base. Colorado, Colorado State now has the thing about Colorado State coach saying that

shit about Deion, which is, it's just bizarre. Like, you know, Dion is going to take whatever you say and motivate his players with it. Don't say anything. It's bizarre for now. What if Colorado State beats Colorado? Then it's going to be like one of the most ball and foods ever. A fucking genius. Yeah.

Right? That would be awesome. I mean, he made people care about a game that's like a 20-point spread. That's true. Okay. Fair enough. All right. What else?

Did you, I want you to look at this college football thing. What? T.J. What I sent you, the text I sent you this morning of that, that picture. Mm-hmm. Could you, because you, TJ? T.J. Yeah.

Could you? Could you? Read some more games. Did you see this? Read the. Well, no, we're going to talk about this. Auburn, Hugh Freeze. Remember Hugh Freeze?

The preacher, the Baptist preacher that became Ole Missist's coach and the guy that they fired because he was calling hookers and getting Pussy on the side? He's at Auburn now, and he's doing this. Coach Eufries is down in the water baptizing his players. It's impossible not to root. Why do they keep falling for this shit? Why do they keep falling for his act?

Why do they keep falling for this? I don't understand how this man tricks these people and runs his script everywhere he goes. How does this happen? He's a football coach. Why is he in the water baptizing that kid? Why? Like the kids making the decision to get baptized, get in the church, Why does he need his football coach here?

That's crazy. It's the South. It is. No, it's not the South. You don't see. Lane Kiffman ain't baptizing nobody. Nick Saban ain't baptizing nobody. Listen, I don't want to pile on your region of the country.

But if there is one region of the country where you can just be a total fucking scumbag and just like show up and. Keep in mind, Mel Tucker exists. Yeah. But is Mel Tucker baptized in beat? Was Mel Tucker trying to convince people? Doing it on the phone. Phone baptism. If there's one part of the country where you can be a total scumbag Monday through Saturday

and then show up. And as long as you're sitting in the pew on Sunday, everybody's like, what a godly man. This guy. Yeah, he's living right. Y'all need to pay attention to this guy. It is the South. Now, if there's a 1B, it's where I'm from. It is the Midwest.

I mean, most of Indiana. Most of Indiana and the South are very, very closely linked. But, yeah, I mean, this is unsurprised. This is unsurprised. This is righteous gemstone shit. I haven't watched that show. Is it good? You would love it. Oh, my God.

You would love it. I see the clips on TikTok and the baby Billy clip. Is that righteous shit songs? And I'm like, that looks like a show. Dude, that show is Taylor made for you. Yeah. You would watch that show and you'd be like, I know every single one of these characters. I might have to watch it.

Every single one of these characters is someone I know personally. I've always felt Dannyman. bribe was a lot he's in it right a lot isn't he a lot like like a lot of talent bound and down was very funny for like for like the first two seasons and then it was just what why are you mad who's a lot is bill cosby oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa who's a lot is that guy that's your god you don't take that's the guy that he's cliff huxble didn't do shit to anybody all right damn just relax everybody

Danny McBride rules. Danny McBride has gotten to a point where... I asked you a question. I didn't say... I didn't make a statement. Dana McBride has gotten to the point where I will literally watch anything he's involved in. If you... If I...

If that Aquaman trailer last night, if they would have... It would have popped up and said a Danny McBride joint, I would have been like, oh, I changed my mind. I'm going to see this. Danny McBride showing up in an Aquaman trailer. It would be funny. Yeah, I would have been like, all right. I'm going to go... Oh, Danny McBride produced this?

What's up, dudes? Yeah. That would be... Dana McBride is to Hollywood with Nick and KBR are to Barstle sports. that's an incredible analogy right there. Yeah. Yeah. That's something shitty. Like, if you would have...

So, part's still outside of them just sucks. If you have a shitty joke and I take a point away from you, and then you're like, Nick gave me that joke. It's immediately. Everyone in the chat would be like, give Brandon points. Here's the problem with Nick. Here's the problem with Nick. He's so funny that when I do have a good joke,

the rare occasion I have a good joke, the chat immediately says, well, Nick wrote that. Nick right. That happens all the time. If I blog, that's why I don't blog. If I blog and I put some funny stuff in there, Nick wrote this blog for brand. Nick gave you that.

And some, did he? Yeah, he did. That's not the point. The point is. You shouldn't know that. Yeah, but that's how Hugh Freeze gets away with this. Is that this is a formula. But how do you get away with it after getting?

Carpet bagging is, carpet bagging has been going on for, for decades. I'm almost certain that's not carpet back. It's not, but it's like the same family. It's the cousin of carpetbagging. It's grifting. Yeah, you're grifting the dumb southerners. I don't know why you turned it into a South thing. Because it always had

Why is the regionalist? Because every time You're a regionalist Piece of shit Show me the videos of like a scumbag that's like in New York City No because it also happens

at Clemson and DaBow And that's not in this Yeah Hickory Dickery Daugher Yeah Oh my God That's the worst thing ever God you know what was you talking about

What? The Davo TikTok No We got to pull that up We got to pull that up TJ Yeah Brian Kelly Brian Kelly was in Indiana when he killed a kid.

I know. And then he, and then, you know, a lot of the people in the Midwest were like, get this scum back out of here. And then the South was like, what are the most of you do? You know, guys, phony when he gets to the South. And even the South is like, whoa. Yeah, this is a little bit. This is a lot.

Yeah. The South did call this out immediately. Yeah. No, you can't. The Mouserickory, Doc. The mouse ran off the cock. You never seen this? He's got that drip.

And now he's on TikTok. What? This is a. This is not real. This is not real. That's the worst thing that's ever happened. He should have been fired that night. You've never seen that?

No. Do it again. Oh, my God. Tickory, dickory, doc. The mouse ran up the clock. Why do you say it like that? Coosweeney's got that drip. And now he's on TikTok.

Oh, my God. I have my, uh, I have my request for Connor's next dad read. Maybe. Caves.com with 50,000 possibility. Oh, fuck. In fairness,

that was when they were winning at least. So if he was corny, like he had stuff to back it up now. This is what I say all the time when you see wild shit coming out of college football is that winning cures everything. Yeah.

I've made one trip to college station, Texas in my life. 99.9% of the time I was there, I was like, this is fucking wild. This is like the this is a colt right in front of our very eyes Every building looks like a Russian prison It was there were some the people were nice

But that's how a colt works That's how they get you into the cult Sure they're super nice to you So like I gotta be appealing They were rolling out the red carpet for me And every tailgate was like yeah come on in buddy What do you need? And I was like this place is very nice

But I see what's going on here Right This is fucking crazy I went to the the midnight yell I was gobsmacked at what was going on And then they beat Bama Brandon On the last second field goal

and everyone ran on the field. I get it. I was like, this is pretty sick. It's pretty sick. They beat the number one team of the country in the last second field.

Did you take like two steps towards the running on the field? Oh no, I guess I'm not one of the cult. No, I ran on the field. Oh, you did? Okay, well, never mind.

By that time, I was like, I'm drinking this Kool-A. But yeah, I think that's how it works in college sports. It's like everything looks... Especially the South. If you're winning, everything that is stupid and cult-like

is explainable. It's like, yeah, it's fine. But I don't think USC, if Lincoln Riley wins a national championship, they're going to allow him to just act however he wants and say the dumb stuff. That's what I'm saying. It is in the South. And if you go to the South and you

tap your Bible a couple times, you're their guy for life. But again, the South also dominates college football. So inso facto, maybe you're the ones that got it right. Maybe we got it right. Maybe that's part of the deal. Maybe we're better than y'all. Maybe if the other coaches were baptizing their players. Well, Auburn ain't winning shit. That's true. Do you want to do chat in the hat?

Yeah, let's do it. Okay. How was this going to work? It's your idea. Yeah, no. That's what I was. You came up with it. I came up with a name.

Okay. Get the top hat. All right. So we're trying to figure out what to use the top hat for. We landed on just like random shit. Random shit segments. Prompts. Prompts.

Promps that you want us to do. We're going to write them down a piece of paper and we're going to put them in the hat. And every day we're going to draw one, right? Yeah. So, like, basically, and then I thought, I also want to get the chat involved with. The chat is still nice to us because there will come a time where I probably season two debut next week. Right. Where the chat's like, fuck these guys.

I don't like season. I don't like the changes. Have these guys falling off? Yeah. Yeah. Season one was a lot better. Yeah. Kate's the fucking worst.

Kate's not even on the show. Kick Kate off this fucking show. Kate's literally never made it appearance. So while the chat's still nice to us, I thought we should get them involved with something. And yeah, that was the idea I came up with. It was chatting the hat. So like- So props.

We get the prompts from the chat and then we put it in the hat. Things for us to do, things for us to act out, things for us to say. Maybe something for Connor to say. Yeah. And then starting season two, we will draw out of the hat. Like every so often we just draw stuff out of the hat. It could just be a name to start guys naming dudes. Whatever you want, you may submit them now.

Are they already submitting T.J.? Submissions can go into the live chat. I probably won't. be able to write a bunch of them down. But if you put them in the comments below or if you reply to us on social, on Twitter at Mostly Sports, everywhere else at Mostly Sports Show, put it somewhere where you can find it, submissions for topic ideas, activity ideas outside of the office, guys naming like dudes.

Yeah, you guys named a dude's topic. Hypotheticals, Sports or otherwise. All of them, yeah. Good, TJ. A whole mix of ideas. A plethora. Yeah. And we'll credit you if we pull out your idea.

I don't think anyone's done this one before. someone in the chat said we should do a case race. Oh, wow. Like, how would that work, though? What do you do? Like, what is a case race? So you just get, like, some beer and we drink it. Oh.

What if it's not a case race? What if we do a case race and we both have to solve a murder and we, it's a race to see who does it first? That's a play on case rate. What if we listen to a murder investigation podcast while doing a case race? Okay. now that we're on this idea. We match the two ideas together. What if we both murder someone and we see how long it takes to get to trial?

Yeah. Well, you see how long the case race? Because if you murder like five people, you're going to trial quickly. I'm very silly. You know what, TJ? You know what I'm going to do for you? Are you tired? No, you know what I'm going to do for you because it's Friday?

Oh, my God. You're about to. I'm going to take a point away from myself because I just now picked up on what you meant by case race. I just now picked up. I'm going to do that for you, Brandon. I'm going to do that for you. Are you going to also award me a point? I'll give you a point.

I'll give you a point. I think I'm winning now. I think you might be winning. Wow. Yeah. Fucking Friday. If you win, and if you win, I have a three one series lead, I believe. Because I won the first.

Most dangerous leading in sports. Yeah. Well, it's in the regular season. So it's true. That's right. We reset the table. Yeah. I'm the season one champion.

TJ, you got anything? Somebody said, can where do you, why send ideas? Just in the chat. In the chat. In the chat. In the chat. In the chat. In the comments.

If you're watching on replay, YouTube comment. That's like calling somebody and asking for their phone number. Another thing you wanted to do on Fridays. So that's chatting the hat. So we're not going to do it right now. We'll fill up the hat. But we're going to start on Monday, right? We're going to start drawing out of the hat.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll start drawing out of the hat. So we'll compile them over the weekend. Connor will go back through these with a fine-tooth comb and write them off. Yeah, Connor, sorry. You can't watch any football this weekend. You have to lock yourself in a room and read the chat. That's the funny part about next weekend.

I'm going to Oregon for a roofball. Yeah. And it's the biggest. slate of college football games. Are you going to Champaign tomorrow? I am not. I was thinking about it. I'm probably going to go to Evanston for Penn State Northwestern in a couple weeks. Champaign's just right down the road.

Evanston is even shorter. Okay. Everybody in the college football world punted on Illinois, Penn State after they saw Illinois, Kansas. Yeah. Fox was like, we're going, we're going. Champagne, we're coming. And then they watched the Kansas Illinois.

They said, Champagne, fuck you. Well, we still have Joel Clatt and Gus Johnson on the call. I have a take about champagne. Not to drink, the city, the town. I, living in the South, in my whole life, I thought at the University of Illinois in Champaign, I thought champagne was like right outside Chicago and it was like kind of urban and it was like a suburb or something like that. Because it's Urbana, right? Champaign Urbana.

That's why I thought that. That'll trip you up. That's some of a bitch is in the middle of nowhere. Middle of nowhere. That's in a cornfield. It smells like cow shit. It is in the middle of fucking nowhere. It is.

It is a rural motherfucker. Yeah. It's tough. It's a tough, it's a tough place to play. When you get an hour south of Chicago, you enter a cornfield, and you don't leave it until six hours later. Yeah, it's not a, it was not a fun road trip when you play there. There's really nothing going on.

It's a. You mean when you go there? Huh? Not really when you played there because you didn't play. Yeah. But that's why I can speak to it because, like, I would, the night before games, I wasn't, I wasn't, you think a bad boy like me was paying attention to curfew? They were good as fuck back then.

Was that a fun trip? No, fuck no. I played against Illinois. Really? I got a block shot against Illinois. Pull up that. Is that highlight somewhere? Can we play that?

Almost certainly not. I'm going to get that footage and we'll just, that's one of my favorite Kimmel bits was Kimmel will have like guess on. And they'll be like, we got a clip of your new movie. Let's take a look. And then he plays him hitting a home run in a Celebrity All-Star game. We should reach out to the Ohio State video department and see if we can get everything

we got up. Yeah, we need all. Literally everything you have. All Mark Titus footage. Give me all your footage. They send us back a 17 second clip. Yeah. I had a blocked shot when we played Illinois.

But I can speak to the road trips, Brandon, because when we would play on the road, I would, yeah, I would go out. Now, what kind of block shot? Check out the scene. In Illinois, there was nothing going on. Were you trailing a guard and he went up for a layup and you blocked it?

No. Okay. He shot at three. Huh? Helpside rim protection. Really? I swear to God. It was like, it was like,

like my dude was camping. out in the corner. I'm, I'm as you do, you know, ball you man. I got eyes on both, you know, I got the guns out. I'm pointing at the ball, pointing at the man. I'm straddling the midline, you know, as you do. You got to one head. You got to have one foot over the midline. Sure. Because if they throw the skip pass, I can still close out. Got it. You get it. Guy drives, beats his man because the, like, honestly, the rest of my teammates weren't great at defense. And they collapsed on them. Yeah. So the guy guarding him on the perimeter gets beat off the dribble. And I was like, fear not, buddy. Here I am. Here I am.

And the guy, the guy looked and he's like, I got a dopey-ass white boy in front of me. I'll just like rise up and hit a layup over. And you threw that shit. And I stuffed it right back in his fucking face. You have two career blocks. Do you know who the other one was against? Great question. I think I might.

It was a Kentucky school, wasn't it? It was a Kentucky school. It was Eastern Kentucky. Let's go. Let's go. Dude, that one, that one I stuffed the dude shit. I think that one was like, I blocked it with my wrist. I was a good shot.

Locker, but not like I wasn't athletic. I think it was everybody just, like I just said, like everyone looked at me and was like this guy, there's no way this guy can jump over. They discounted you. Yeah. I wouldn't know if you remember like everything. I had good timing. Do you remember like you have a couple's box score.

I had a game last, we played a dozen trivia game. Well, yeah, I can't tell you the results of that. But everybody knows that we're playing. So if I say this story, it's going to, it's going to spoil one of the questions on the dozen. Yeah. But there's a question about you on the dozen. Yeah, we both won our dozen matches.

Right. That's not a spoiler. That's not a spoiler. We're playing each other. The game that came up, you knew that you played in it, but you didn't remember that you got an assist. That's not a part of the question. Yeah. I went up and looked at the game and you had an assist in that game.

You didn't remember that. Yeah. But assists can get a little to where you don't really remember. I had one that I threw a, I threw an hoop to Dave Lydie and got an N-1. That was fucking awesome. That was, that was, you and, I have talked before about like dunking as a white man. Yeah.

The feeling you get, the rush you get is an amazing feeling. I would say playing at a at a Big Ten school and you catch an outlet pass and you're not really sure what you're doing. Yeah. And you're dribbling the ball off the floor and like your instinct is like we should run out the clock. But also the whole arena is yelling shoot and you're just like, what the fuck do I do with it? And you're, you're jittery about it.

And then you see a teammate streaking down the court and you just throw it up and you're like please God how far did you throw it I so the play was I it's on YouTube somewhere and like some like a highlight package of my son I know I know I can I could I could find it eventually but uh I was at the three point line and the crowd was yelling shoot and then I went out like I was going up like I was going to shoot it and then I just like threw it up to the rim and Dave Lighty caught it and dunked it and got an AN1 and that feeling that that that's better than me dunking honestly because I've never initiate that play yeah I get well also like I don't throw oops like at least dunking I practice on my own in the backyard, but like at my high school, I wasn't exactly throwing

oops to people. Because you were catching them. Yeah, well, that feeling was great, though. That was a, any other highlights of mine who want to talk about? This did look like a jump shot. I found it. Great segment, guys. Great segment. This is a fun segment. We should do this more often. What else am I good at? I did, I did suggest to Connor that for social, we should do like Tony Snell type graphics, like on this date, Mark Titus dropped zero. Just dropped zero. Did not. On this date of history. so I just did nothing Did you

Did you watch TGIF Was that an integral part of your Well first of all We didn't Yes I did I very much did And I never watched Boy Meets World

So I would go What was the slate What was the TGIF Okay so so I'm gonna give you one I think it went It went full house No no no Family Matters was first

Family Matters step by step Full House Boy Meets World was one of the Friday Slates Hanging with Mr. Cooper got in there later And that was a pretty good show. I can't remember any other shows. But I know Family Matters was first, step by step was second.

Because one time, Erkel flew out of the Family Matters house in a jet pack and landed in the step-by-step backyard in the next episode. That happened, yes. Yeah. So, and then I think Full House was at 8 o'clock. Yeah, there you go. I watched Full House. I mean, I watched TJF, yeah, sure, sure did. Family Matters better in Full House.

Here we go. Here we go. Look, look at this. Look at this. Oh! Look at that. Look at that. Look at that assist.

Is this just your assist clips? Yeah, look at that. Look at that. You did look like you weren't sure what to do before that happened. Look at that. That doesn't look like the same person. That does not, dude. Yeah, you did not look like you were sure of what to do on that fast.

No, no, I wasn't sure. I was not sure. and I threw it up just like, I blacked out. I just kind of was like, I don't know what happened. What two coaches tell you to do in that situation? Because you guys are up 30 when you're in there, but the arena does yell shoot every time. Yeah.

Well, that's why I came up with the trillion. I didn't come up with the trillion concept, but I came up with the idea of like trying to get the trillion. Like the trillion was a bad thing until I was like, no, it's not. This is what we should be striving for this. And the whole reason I did was because of that very thing was like, I don't want to shoot.

I don't want a fucking airball. This is going to be embarrassed. So I was like, I'm going to, I'm going to say that the goal is actually to do nothing, and that way everyone will cheer for me to do nothing. And it worked because by the time I was a senior, I remember getting in one game, we were playing in St. John Arena, and I got a rebound off a free throw and the place start booing. And that was awesome.

What's your alternative? What's your alternative there? Like the rebound comes off and you just watch a bounce. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah. My hands were tied. I had to do it. Yeah, TGIF was fun.

Wasn't that fun. NBA Jam is 30 years old. Turns 30 this week. What did it debut on Super Nintendo? No. The arcade. And then it came to Super Nintendo. The first home video game was

Super Nintendo, right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, so we were on a school trip for Model Security Council in Oxford, Mississippi. Or maybe it might have been future problems. What? Model Security Council. was in Starfall. You don't remember Model Security Council? Y'all don't do that?

Paul, are you Paul? Are you saying model or mall? Model Security Council? I thought you said mall. No. I thought you said mall. Nobody did UN. Check the tape. You said you said mall security. None of y'all have ever seen you in model security. No. That might be model UN, but I've never heard of. Oh, that's what we call. That's what we call. That's what we call. Security is throwing me off. I thought, I thought you were called the security council of the UN. Okay, model UN. Okay. That's what you're called. Okay. We did model UN. And then we did future problem solving in Oxford. And we were in Oxford and we went to the mall that night.

And they had this arcade machine that had basketball on it. And I went and looked and started playing it. And the NBA Jam was the greatest thing I'd ever seen in my fucking life. Yeah. It was the greatest thing ever in my life. Who's the best team? I used to, when I was a kid, I would play with the Blazers. I would play with Terry Porter and Clyde Drexler.

Yeah. That's not one that I've ever heard. Yeah. Well, because you got the hornet. Larry Johnson morning. You got the jazz. I was going to make my. case.

Okay. Go ahead. Make your case. Clyde Drexler could dunk. His dunks were all the way up. Everybody in the game could dunk. Clyde Drexler's dunks were all the way up. He shattered the backboard.

He could dunk from anywhere. He was, he had that. He was, Clyde Drexler was basically, at least for the Super Nintendo game, Clyde Drexler was, and the way I saw it, he was Michael Jordan because Michael Jordan wasn't in the game. So the theory I told myself. He also kind of was. Yeah.

Yeah. He was discounted Michael Jordan in real life. He didn't get enough credit. He would dunk from the free throw line in a fucking game. that literally never happened against the Lakers he dumped one step inside the free throw line so not from the free throw line then

close can I do a little hyper bowl just a little hyper bowl no are we not doing any hyper bowl on the show you tell me if we're not doing it so Drexler Drexler was Jordan basically

on the game did Terry Porter shoot Terry Porter was fast and he could steal the ball so I would use Terry Porter on defense hold down the turbo and then he'd get the steals and have the speed and then he'd throw it with the Drexler and he'd dunk it.

What about Stockton Malone? They did the same thing. Stockton was white. He was white. Still is. Yeah, he still is. Still is. And it just like didn't.

No matter, he wasn't as fast. We should call John Stockton and accuse him of still being white. Hey, buddy. We should book John Stockton on the show. Just go over his whiteness. And just don't go for like. He's got to be on cameo. Who's the most of, nah, John Stockton doesn't feel like somebody.

He definitely saved his. money. Like he lived in a two-bedroom ranch in Utah. There's no chance John Stockton doesn't have his money still. But then when I got older, I realized that when Steph Curry told me the three is worth more than two, I did start playing with the Warriors and Chris Mullen from the corner is so good. Does not miss. Reggie Miller also very good. No. On the game, not in real. Yeah, I don't like, I'm anti-Reggie Miller. Are you? Yeah, that's one of my... I think he's overrided. That's one of my stances I have. Reggie Miller bad. Yeah, I just like they growing up in the 90s in Indiana.

I was the only kid that didn't like Reggie Miller. But it got me in trouble a lot with my friends. Got you beat up. Yeah. Yep. What else? How often do you guys think about the Roman Empire? Oh, yeah.

I saw this was a thing. I rarely ever. Really? Yeah. Do you ever think about the Roman Empire? Like not, I guess how would you, just thinking about like the Coliseum count? Just thinking about the movie Gladiator count? I'd say so.

Just thinking about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Intricate road systems. And his, you know, dealings with the Romans, does that count? Because if you count all of that, then, yeah, I think about it pretty often. What about using, like, Roman numerals? Yeah. Which I never do. I don't know why I brought it up.

I thought the Super Bowl was going to stop that. I thought Super Bowl 50. It's beyond the pale at this point, right? Yeah, it's a fucking joke, dude. Like, good luck trying to figure out, like, good luck going to someone's Wikipedia page and seeing that like Terry Bradshaw won Super Bowl, whatever, and then trying to figure out what year that was. And then WrestleMania, won't stay consistent.

They did Roman numerals for the first, like, eight or nine, and then they just stopped. Yeah. Then they stopped. When did they stop? I think they stopped at, I don't know, 14 maybe, 15? Somewhere in there, because they definitely had the X. It's so annoying trying to figure out, like,

what year did Nick Foles win the Super Bowl? And then it says Super Bowl, X, V, I, L. I think there's L-L-L-L-E, X-L-I. And then I'm like, well, that doesn't answer the question. I'm trying to remember what year that was, buddy. Super Bowls are very confusing to figure out when and where they were. I mean, not where, but when they are. If you use Roman numerals, it's a dead giveaway to me that you never thought that this had

staying power. That you were just like, this is a Super Bowl. Maybe we can get to 10. Maybe. The first Super Bowl comes around that's just called Super Bowl. It probably wasn't Super Bowl one. Right. Super Bowl two.

Let's put two of them because that does look sexy. Yeah. And the three looks even sexy. Three looks even sexier. Then four, you start with the V. Yeah, it's IV. Yeah. And then V.

And at this point, it's like, uh-oh. We're in trouble. We've got to get to that X at least. Because the X is cool. The X is cool. Yeah. But now it's a joke. Now it's just an absolute joke.

Was there a Super Bowl X, X, X, X, X. There was. It would be Super Bowl 30. Right. But did they go away from the X, X, X, X? Because it also means porn. WrestleMania they did. Yeah, but was porn?

like online porn like so well porn existed before yes I'm aware of porn existed before the internet but was it like addresses XXXX oh yeah it was always but XXX was also that's how movie theaters were wasn't what isn't a cartoon jug of moonshine

XX or is that just XX? That's just XX I think XX I'm almost certain it's two Xs they did do Super Bowl XXXXX I haven't really seen cartoon Jugs of Moonshine recently no no Tommy, I mean, TJ, I do want... Tommy, whoa!

Whoa! You'll understand why I say that. So like what you call your teacher, dad? You'll understand why I say that. TJ, the Tommy clip, I do want a sound effect on when he exits the scene. I want that wooosh sound effect when he exits because that's, that's very, very fun. You play fantasy football? I don't.

You've asked me that multiple times, and I do not play it. I don't. I don't fucking play it, Mark. I don't fucking play fantasy football. I asked you all fair. I thought on air. different question. It's a different question, yeah.

Yeah. Do you guys, do you guys play fantasy football? Yeah. But nerdy McNard over here? Of course they play fantasy football. But at the same time, I like to stick to one league. I don't like to do multiple leagues and having to root for different players and then root against the same place.

Can I just show you something, Titus? Oh, yeah. He just got to pause on. He's just got to pause on. Because I was trying to figure. out like what the hell is in that room break down that room break down that room there's like a candle is that a beer that's a playstation controller that's a playstation control what got to drink hold on hold on hold on big 10 network staged this are we just that much of a dude is that popcorn that had to

been staged that's a beer like had one sip taken out uh uh i got like a long sleeve shirt under a t-shirt i got the uh the bill simmons book of basketball shout out to the sports that that is yeah and there's your hero. And then it's like... That's just a TV tray. I think that's the TV tray. Yeah. That's a TV tray.

Those aren't really around anymore either. No, but I, that's how I used to, you know, you take your, I didn't have a kitchen table in college.

TV trays work great. Yeah, you just take your food to the couch and go on the TV tray in front of it. It's like the catcher in the rye on top of it. I like the blanket too. The blanket's nice.

Why is it paused on your screen? Because I was looking for highlights earlier. And I was trying to figure out where exactly. I could find him. This is the highlight of Mark Isis' career sitting on this couch. Should we do picks? Do you want to make some picks?

We don't do picks on this show. That's right. We do choices. We're pro-choice here. Are we? When it comes to picks. I'll allow you to make your choices. Well, we'll do choices, not picks.

Okay. Because picks, picks sound very final. We're a pro-choice podcast. Let's do. What are we picking? We pick an NFL or are we picking college? I've already said it, but I think Missouri is going to beat Kansas. state. I think choose whatever. And that's an

upset. I think Florida is going to beat Tennessee. I really have no Let me write these down. These are my choices here. You get three. I'm going to do three. I'm going to keep standing. I want to keep standing because I want to keep standing. Okay. I'll go three. You go three. Okay. Choices. All right. Brandon's choices are. So I really like Missouri plus four and a half

against Kansas State. I think they match up pretty well there. I don't think Kansas State's as good as people think they are. I like Florida to keep it close against Tennessee plus six and a half. These are just very well-thought-out picks here. And then I like, I don't have it written down, but I like Houston, I don't even know what the number is. Now I like Houston to possibly beat TCU, keep it closed against TCU and stay inside that number. So all three underdogs, bold, bold choices here today by me. So what do you think? We're keeping standings?

Yeah, I think we should keep standings. I think the choices. And the winner gets a dollar at the end of the year? Okay, all right. These are our choices. So we're doing college football. I don't That's why I'm going college. Okay. All right, looking at the sl- I mean, one thing that jumps out to me right away, Ohio State's hosting Western Kentucky. I think we're going to beat the fuck out of Western Kentucky.

So give me Ohio State to beat Western Kentucky. I mean, listen, we're not losing at home to Western Kentucky. I know people are saying Ohio State, this Ohio State team's not as good. There are a lot of questions at quarterback. We're going to beat the piss out of Western Kentucky. I think we're going to beat Western Kentucky. I'm pretty confident.

Notre Dame's hosting Central. That's an easy W for Notre Dame. Give me Notre Dame to beat Central Michigan. And what else stands out here? Don't you think? Oh, Michigan Bowling Green. Michigan at Michigan. Listen, I'm a Buckeye.

I don't want to gas up Michigan too much, but there's no world where Bowling Green's going into the big house and beating Michigan. So my choices this week, Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame are all going to win, I think. I think those are... So my... You got Missou Plus four and a half.

My three choices are Missouri. plus four and a half. Yeah. Florida plus six and a half and Houston plus six and a half. Your choices are Michigan to win Ohio State to beat Western Kentucky and Notre Dame to beat Central Michigan.

Those are my choices. Those are the choices I'm making. And we're keeping records. Yeah. I feel good about mine. I feel like a three and O Saturday for me. I don't know if it's three and O, but two and one I feel pretty good for you.

I want to ask you about this. Write them down, TJ. Let's keep some standard. Are we going back? We're going by record at the end of the year. The record, right? Not using this, yeah. Yeah, straight up record.

Yeah, we don't do gambling on the show. Well, we do choices. Well, we do choices. We do choices. You have a choice. I have an answer on the Roman numerals. Oh, can we do the Orioles thing? That's what I was going to do, but go ahead.

Finish up the Roman numerals. So Lamar Hunt thought that the Roman numerals added more grander and ceremony to the event than in Arabic numerals. So that's why they use the ones that don't make any sense. All right. You could have just. It does add more grandeurals. You could have just called it the Super Bowl like everyone does.

And then use the year to need to add to Super Bowl. He's like, we need more. They didn't do it until Super Bowl fought. They retroactively Roman numerals. Did they even number them or just this is a Super Bowl this year? Yeah, this is the Super Bowl. Okay. At what point during World War I did the soldiers fighting in World War I look at each other and be like, hey,

this is World War I? Why are we calling it World War I? Hey, so Seems like this is just World War So they keep telling us Like this thing's almost over And we're gonna win And get to see our family soon

But like You find it interested Do you that they keep calling World War? I think they called it The Great War Right The Great War

And then I was doing a little Comedy No And I just ruined I was doing a little Jokey Jokey The Great War What's so great about it?

This fucking sucks Yeah What did the USO tours look like back then. Like all these fucking soldiers got trench. But like, have you seen, do you watch the, are you, are you a war guy? Like a, in terms of like the content, like a, I mean, I watch good war movies, but I'm not going to watch like documents.

All quiet on the Western front on the, the, the Netflix one. Yeah. I watch that. War's not good. War sucks. War is not good. 1917 fuck me up. The, where it follows him the whole time.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, that didn't. World War I sucked at. Just go home. World War II obviously did too. But yeah, the idea of a U.S.O.

These fucking soldiers are. Hey, boys. Get up out of that trench. Just flew in here from New York and boy, my arm's tired. Let's have some fun, boys. Look at these tities that you can't touch. All right, let's do the Orioles thing. So how are we going to do it?

So online, people are noticing that all the Orioles top prospects looks almost exactly the same. And are these all real? These are all the real. There's three former number of, There's three number one overall prospects in baseball in this picture. The top two and the one on the bottom right are all three the same guy. They're just in different poses, right?

Those are all three the same guy. Correct. Like if you did a celebrity matchup for the dozen of those three players. It would just look like the top right guy. Yeah. So you're going to give us the four names and we have to decide who they are. Yeah. Okay.

So the first one. No, no, no. Don't tell us who the first one is. Okay. The first name I'm going to give you. Okay. You should just get. You should try to get.

This guy's name is. Well, that's Grace and Ron. Rodriguez. That doesn't seem right. That's Brody. Well, I know the names of the prospects. Oh, you do? Where there's, is there Adley? No. Adley Rutchman is, he's on the list. I wore his jersey yesterday. Gunner Henderson, is he in the list? Yeah, he's in the list. I know, I knew Adley Ruchman was a guy. Yeah. But then now seeing those four faces up there and hearing the name Adly Ruchman is very funny. It's starting to sink in. Who's that? That's Gunner Henderson. Yes, that is Gunner Henderson. Hunter Henderson.

Hunter Henderson. Who's the new hotness that they drafted? They drafted, number one last year? Yeah. Jackson Holiday. Jackson Holiday. Is he in that group? Yeah, he's in that group.

Oh, let me see it. Let me see it. So I got to pick out Matt Holiday's son. Okay, well, is that just him? Because that appears that that might just be him. Is that Matt Jackson Holiday? Yeah, that's Jackson Holiday. You're good at this.

I wanted the four block. That's okay. There's two guys left. I definitely would Okay. Now I don't remember which one Jackson Holiday or Gunner Henderson were

because... I think Jackson Holiday was top left. Gunner Henderson was... Corporate wants you to find differences between... Is Adley Rushman in this group? Yes, Adley Rushman is in this group.

He's bottom right. He's not bottom right. He is... No, that's him. He's not bottom right. That's your opinion, dude. That's him bottom right. So he's bottom left?

Yeah, that's bottom left. That's the least Adley left. Adley looking one of the whole room. That's the guy who's like, that's the guy we're most excited about? No, they're excited about all of them. No, we're most excited about Top right. Top right. Jackson Holiday might be the greatest baseball player of all the time.

I thought Gunner Henderson was greatest baseball player. He's 19 in triple. Well, Gunner Henderson wasn't until Jackson Holiday came along and he's 19 in AAA. Who's that bottom right? That's Heston Kirstad from Arkansas. So it's Gunner, Jackson, Adley, Heston. And then we also have a Colton. in the mix there too and a Kobe Jordan there's Jordan Westberg right and Jordan yeah

Grayson is Kobe a white guy yeah it's C-O-B-Y white guy's being named Kobe doesn't work for me C-O-B-Y is such a bullshit name I should say it being so the Orioles are excited about the farm system I imagine the prospects yeah yeah they're all I think we're finding out your scouts have a type yeah they might have a type yeah yeah draft the best player in the draft. Jackson Holiday is, is, is, uh, what position? Uh, shortstop. So him and Gunner are both short stops. So what do you do? You move one to third? Is I going to squeeze out my guy, Jordan? Uh, Jordan Westford could get squeezed out at some point, though, wouldn't he? Yeah, he's like a utility

infield guy. He can play anywhere. But yeah. Huh. The Orioles are really fucking good. I don't know if you've been paying attention to the baseball. Lost last night. That was tough. That's okay. Tough loser last night. Was that the raise or was that start now? We only have a one game lead now. Oh, and you got three games left with them? Three games this weekend. Oh, to be in Baltimore right now. And the one tonight is on Apple TV. I won't go into that. We didn't ask you to.

I want this story explained that you put on the sheet, Evo. Microsoft publishes garbled AI article calling tragically deceased NBA player useless. Yeah, so apparently they used to have like a staff that would write these like Quick Hitter AP type things you put out that are like under like 250 words or whatever. They fired that staff about two years ago and now they use like AI. to write these headlines. And I gave TJ,

the actual headline is insane. Yeah, Brandon Hunter, Ohio University Bobcat legend. So the article, though, has handed away on the age of 42? Former NBA participant, Brandon Hunter, who beforehand performed for the Boston Celtics

and Orlando Magic has handed away at the age of 42 as introduced by Ohio's males basketball coach, Jeff Bowles on Tuesday. Shout out of Jeff Bulls. He was my assistant in Ohio State. Here's the male basketball coach, yeah. Some people call you this, Brandon.

Hunter initially a extremely regarded high school. Hunter, a extremely regarded high school basketball participants. Not only regarded, extremely regarded. So this is good for us because. I'm not the first regarded guy to have a morning show here. This is good for humanity. This tells us AI is still a ways away. Yeah.

This is the takeaway that we're not. But it's also not good that we're laughing hysterically at it. Yeah. Because it's not fun. Or stay woke. The AI did this on purpose so we would let our guard down. The AI purposely was like, let's pretend to be. The AI is showing weakness.

If we pretend to be extremely regarded. We can. These regards will never see it coming. You'll go ahead and start wrapping it up. This is a good time to wrap it up there, Brenda.

Oh, it was amazing. Be sure to, if you watch on. YouTube and I hope you do this is a we view this correct as a YouTube show we put it on the podcast show that has a podcast yeah this is so our primary focus is to make it a YouTube which is why we have the incredible studio that you see before you ideally we'd like you here every morning at nine but if you want to watch in the afternoon it's you can watch when you want yeah but yeah go ahead and like that helps us a lot when you when you hit the like button when you you comment for
