No, you know, keep it up because I have to have some proof that I am at least proportionally Irish compared to Liam. Yeah, he added, he's doing Mick Anderson. That's cultural appropriation. He's just trying to sound more Irish. That's fine. He's bringing the Mick back into he's he's de-anglicizing the name

Patreon.com slash 10,000 losses, where you get all our bonus episodes and access to the discord of which, of which you are one of the admins. Uh,
Starting point is 00:05:17 yeah, I'm still, I still don't know what that entails. I'm sure we actually have some very stringent rules of conduct that I'm sure some of the admins will eventually break on our own at some point.
Starting point is 00:05:34 But when I check the Discord, I'm here to keep it in check. Or just spam unrelated sports teams, whatever else cares about within it. Yeah. Basically, to mute Charlie, if he starts posting anime girls.
Starting point is 00:05:52 We can't have that going on. You can post anime guys. That's fine. Yeah. Picture my favorite genre memes where Goku is Muslim. Those are my favorite. Alhamdulillah, Goku has rejected Shuriken and embraced Islam. I've had this conversation about 20 times over the last couple of weeks on the topic of anime girls.
Starting point is 00:06:20 So I'm in my mid-30s and I come from like the punk background of things and there was a brand of skateboarding apparel called Hookups. And in the early 2000s, they were doing busty anime girl t-shirts, which was way before its time. time um i'm not gonna say it was respectful but it wasn't like particularly like it wasn't uh it wasn't like nudity it was gratuitous but i was i was just thinking i was like the shirts you definitely couldn't wear today at all i mean you could but i wouldn't but but at the same token i was like they were way before their time in pop culture of what people wear inappropriately on a regular basis. Oh, geez. I'm looking these up. Yeah, this is some body pillow shit going on with some of these.
Starting point is 00:07:15 They had great skate decks. They had great skate decks. Like, they were – that's a good sports movie that would be totally unrelated that we could watch at some point which is Grind which was a it's applicable to us because it does feature Bam Margera
Starting point is 00:07:35 as a prominent character playing himself in the movie and it's just very but it's a time and place movie. It's like Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift. Like only in that year could that movie be made. Um, and I think there's some fame, other famous people in that movie. I hardly forget.
Starting point is 00:07:58 I hardly remember. I'm, I'm Bam Margera. This is, this is getting out of jail cause I'm rich. No, this is Bam Margera. This is getting out of jail because I'm rich. This is Bam Margera. I'm going back in jail now because I threatened my family. I'm going to rehab and I'm also going to take some time to threaten my family members and go back to jail. That's the update on that saga right now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Well, I mean, if you listen to people who grew up in Westchester, I mean, he was always insufferable. Like he was just a rich kid that had no consequences growing up. And you know, like just, yeah, he's an asshole. He connected with like in the world of like pseudo emo drifting into black metal stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:40 He somehow found like the most insufferable people that weren't Nazis that do that. Yeah, at least they weren't Nazis, yeah. No, they were just like – the guys from him were like notoriously like never ate, only smoked cigarettes and drank alcohol and hit on 17-year-old girls. Like that's what they were famous for. I guess Steve – well, Steve, isn't he like a born-again christian now uh not more he's just sober um he's just sober he's been sober steve-o like i have critical support for steve-o and what are you doing right now because he's still steve-o but um also um because he he's uh on the train of fuck bill maher um because because he was gonna have an
Starting point is 00:09:24 interview with bill maher and steve-o goes he was going to have an interview with Bill Maher and Steve-O goes, cool, man, I'll have an interview with you, but you can't smoke weed. Like I can't have you smoking weed in the same room as me. I've been sober for like over a decade and like I don't touch that. And Bill said, well, no, I, you know, this is what I do. This is the format of the podcast. Steve-O was like alright fuck you then like I'm just not doing an interview with you
Starting point is 00:09:47 Um And it's I was like fully On the side of Steve-O in this case Like yeah That probably explains why the Steve-O episode of the Adam Friedland Show was so bad cause Cause no one was drunk or
Starting point is 00:10:04 Inebriated. All right. So this is, well, we're both really tired. I'm tired because of my job. You're tired because you had to commune across the state of New Jersey. Yeah, communing. Communing is the proper word for it. Had to commune with the state of New Jersey. Wow, I'm great today.
Starting point is 00:10:32 I'm great. I'm so fucking tired. No, I literally left the office in New York at 3 o'clock and it's now 6.45 and I got home maybe 20 minutes ago. The path train schedule runs purely on vibes.
Starting point is 00:10:54 And the vibes are like, what is the most inconvenient time that we can send these trains? Like, it's like right when you're about to get on the train like people need to get on the train the train will be leaving but then when everybody is piled up to like max capacity where not everyone can fit on the train and then they all also hit traffic that's when we're sending the train for the path it's it's so inconsistent and then everybody has to fight the city of newark and something is happening at the Prudential Center tonight. And the city of Newark is 90% parking lots at this point. So we're all fighting through one city,
Starting point is 00:11:39 which has one exit to a major highway, which goes into the tirade of, this is what Philadelphia could very well become. I can't wait. I can't wait for the lack of SEPTA trains, unless Josh, like we said before recording, Josh Harris personally decides to fund SEPTA for the year. I don't know. It looks like it was the Devils playing the Capitals of preseason hockey.
Starting point is 00:12:05 That's why You And that's very convenient because it's like I mean like well Devils that's their home team but like The Capitals that's It's DC it's just Josh Harris Is two cities that he owns Teams in are Philadelphia
Starting point is 00:12:21 And DC two teams in Desperate need of Actual public transportation that that gets you anywhere basically yeah um and is he actually gonna never do anything about it or actually advocate for it no because he i don't know he's an idiot at the same time. This is just a dumbass. Rich, rich dumbass. Like the like they almost all are. And we're, you know, things are great, you know, here. It's it's not it's and it's actually not a slow sports week. You know, we're finally back in the swing of things with we got the NFL.
Starting point is 00:13:00 We got college football right now as we're recording recording on Wednesday. So probably go out tomorrow, we have a soon-to-be major hurricane bearing down on basically Florida and Alabama. It's predicted to be a tropical storm strength storm when it's in the Tennessee Valley. So, of course, lots of things in Georgia are closing down, in the area are closing down in anticipation of this weather emergency. But not the Atlanta Braves.
Starting point is 00:13:41 The Mets are playing the Braves this coming up on on the this Wednesday's game is apparently scheduled to be played and I guess I guess they're I don't know what they're going to do the team is still going to try and play the games
Starting point is 00:13:59 there's ways you can cancel the game and still like call it there's tiebreakers and stuff like that. But no, they want to try and keep the games playing because I guess they want to make money and they don't care if anyone dies getting to or from the game. 72-hour game. You just play an inning during every break in the storm.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Yeah. We'll play when the eye is overhead. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. You get as many innings in as possible when the eye is overhead. Yeah, exactly. Get as many innings in as possible when the eye is overhead. And then when it drifts, you just wait for another
Starting point is 00:14:31 maybe cloud break. And then basically just have one game and you break up by who won each inning. That's how it should be played right now. We're talking about how to make sports more interesting. I think that's how they should play baseball in the middle of a hurricane. Yeah, the
Starting point is 00:14:50 right now, so it looks like we do have a change. Breaking news. The rest of the games of the Mets are going to be scheduled. So it's the game scheduled for today and tomorrow are now going to be played hold on on Monday as part of a double header the day before the playoffs fucking starts
Starting point is 00:15:16 so fuck go nature in helping the Phillies I hope if we do pull this out, this off, uh, I mean, the Phillies are, I mean, the Phillies could end up being like, you know, beautiful Japan where they're saved by the Mongol horde. The divine wind. The divine wind.
Starting point is 00:15:40 The kamikaze has come to stop. Not that kind. Prevent them prevent the Mongol So the gods The gods truly are on the side Of the Phillies in this place They just want their big dumb himbos to advance The playoffs Oh my god
Starting point is 00:15:59 And the royals are supposed to be At the Braves on Friday So Let me do some Liam wouldn't let me do this And the Royals are supposed to be at the Braves on Friday. So let me do some... Liam wouldn't let me do this. Let's pull up some weather radar. Let's bring up the National Radar Mosaic. And we're going to do that. And yeah, let's take a look.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Yeah, it's already kind of getting nasty down there. It looks like there's already some storms, but they're probably not part of the part of the tropical storm, the center of which looks like it's west of Cuba right now.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Pino Del Rio. So yeah, the storm's predicted to be there tomorrow. So I don't know what the fuck they're going to do with these Royals games either. I mean, I guess you could just cancel those because they're AL games, but they're interleague games, but I don't know. Yeah. If the playoffs aren't decided, according to Jason Stark, they'll have to play a doubleheader.
Starting point is 00:17:01 So I guess they'll figure that out. Yeah. They could have called this a while ago. They definitely could have figured this out. But they don't care about this. They just want to make the money. So maybe the Truist Park will just sink it to the sea. Sherman's March 2.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Sherman's March 2, Aquatic Boogaloo. Yeah. But speaking of that, yeah, so the Phillies have clinched the NL East. We're just trying to get that first round by now with having the best record in the league. The Phillies record. record in the league this record right now I think we're 93 and 65 in the National League we are
Starting point is 00:17:51 we are kind of tied with the Dodgers have the best winning percentage they play one less game so yeah we'll see if they can pull that off that'd be nice if they could have the rest and then the fucking Mets have to, and or Braves. Neither have clinched that list.
Starting point is 00:18:11 There's that playoff spot that we need to get. But we'll see. We'll see what happens. This playoff picture's shaping together. And I didn't realize how... I know that the MLb playoff starts real quick right after but my brain just every year doesn't really think about that i i i mean i like look like i'm a pittsburgh pirates fan so by a certain point in the season
Starting point is 00:18:37 i just check the fuck out and then all of a sudden like i see you guys post uh red october memes for two weeks and i'm like oh yeah the playoffs have started yeah and then i tune back in for a little bit and then and then say oh wouldn't it be great if the pirates could be here um wouldn't be great if it was what 1990 what two what, 1990, what, two? And then I, again, tune off. And then I go back to watching football for a little bit. And I stopped caring about football because I'm a Jets fan. Yeah. And then, yeah, that's generally – it is. But it is very like – it's I guess like every sport I feel like – like baseball, I feel like it's the longest sport.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Like I feel like it's always going on. But it's – but it is like even with that, it's like very like quick. Like regular season is done. We're on to the playoffs. Where like. There's not that break and they don't like do that buildup. Like NFL does all this buildup and shit that. Oh, and the NBA drags at playoffs way too fucking long.
Starting point is 00:19:57 NHL does too. Yeah. I mean, NHL is the truest thing of, I feel i will to the players truly hockey never actually does end because a lot of players play like euro leagues and other divisions and stuff like that in the off season um but like the nba i feel like as soon as the season's done, there is what, like three months before games start up again, maybe. And during that time, it's just, you know, it's quick trade, quick trade, quick trade, and they're back to practice. So, but I do think that baseball kind of does it right where, but like also it's like, okay, is like, what would you have? Like a AL, NL All-Star game?
Starting point is 00:20:46 Is that before the playoffs? I think in any sport that'd be the one where the owners would be like absolutely not. We're not going to do a true mid-season break or cut back on games so that our players can go play for someone else at this point in time.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Especially because I think at that pace every pitcher in the league at this point in time. Especially because, you know, I think at that pace, every pitcher in the league at this point is teetering on blowing out some joint in their elbow or shoulder. Oh, yeah. Everyone's hurt. I mean, it's
Starting point is 00:21:16 a fucking marathon. That's why they just do the home run derby. Nice, safe. You get some little league coach to pitch out balls and just put balls in the machine and see how far you can hit them yeah no thankfully the the all-star game
Starting point is 00:21:32 is mid-season it's actually if you mathematically I think it's like point it's either 0.45 or 0.55 wait I can't remember what it is and I don't want to think about the all-star break because the Phillies sucked ass for a month after it. So let's talk about
Starting point is 00:21:49 football. So the Eagles won one out against the Saints. I did not see the first part of the game. I had to catch up. Liam was texting me. I was at a food truck festival against my will. Sure. Surely against your will yeah yeah well the meat wagon is good so um no i i uh i was i was at i was at this food truck festival i had to
Starting point is 00:22:14 walk a fucking half mile doylestown's uh central park which does not have any trees to get there is that the one with the castle the kids's castle yeah yeah that that one yeah there's no coverage it's except for a giant literal castle that's four stories that are made for children to get lost in uh and and then me to climb up yeah me to climb up and find a five-year-old um who's a literally a fifth of my size. And the building's built for her. And that's what that whole thing is. Yeah. Yeah, that's where children go to, like, learn how...
Starting point is 00:22:55 Like, that's where you... Like, the kid's castle, I feel like, that's like a social experiment. Like, that's like... Anthropologists could use it to figure out how pre... Like, humans interact at pre-civilization. I remember, like, you like you form like quick social groups and you like suddenly because I'm on this side of the castle
Starting point is 00:23:11 and you're on that side of the castle like now we're enemies I always feel like it's more of anthropology to see if like if kids are just left alone who's gonna survive and who's gonna die like I feel trust that my kids will at least survive for a while because they don't come looking for us for at least 40 minutes um i i know i know your your
Starting point is 00:23:30 one kid will very quickly assert dominance would just start just kick fucking this 300 kicking the kids in the pit like this is sparta it's yeah my younger my youngest is is still like she's she's one in anything she is i'm the star and uh i don't care about this i don't care about it but if you're in my way i'm going through you like you're going to die i will will find a way or make one. Making one's actually fun. I'm highly focused on making my own way. I'm not focused on following the rules that you have laid out for me.
Starting point is 00:24:15 If you fall three stories off the kid's castle, that's your fault for not being better at the kid's castle. You should be better at existing here. you should have stood your ground this is a this pennsylvania's to stand your ground state and i'm on a castle little castle doctrine is in effect and then there's even sidelines saying shay that's not legal precedent yeah as you just as you just watch the third kid just take a 30-foot drop.
Starting point is 00:24:49 That kid, yeah, that'll, you know. They're zoned for CB East. They got enough kids there anyways. Yeah, yeah. Well, that'll buff out. That'll buff out, yeah. Yeah. You don't need your growth plates yet.
Starting point is 00:25:02 No. Yeah, so the Eagles, speaking of the Eagles, so yet. No. Yeah, so the Eagles, speaking of the Eagles, so Eagles. Eagles. I get this weird thing where I burp, hiccup, and cough at the same time. That's probably
Starting point is 00:25:20 what's going to kill me. Oh, there's the hiccup. This is the world's first hiccuping podcast. So yeah, the... This is great. I'm hiccuping now. Great. The Eagles won.
Starting point is 00:25:36 So Liam's texting me like, fucking kill Jalen Hurts. Kick him off the team. Bench him. In that order. This sucks. And I finally get back. Ich him. In that order. This sucks. And I finally get back. I catch up.
Starting point is 00:25:48 See what happens. And yeah, we're kind of holding defensively. But things finally opened up when we decided to let Saquon Barkley run the ball and not let Jalen Hurts throw interceptions or fumble. I mean, the Saints were looking good. I'm actually surprised the pass rush showed up, but overall, it looked like it was not as bad a game
Starting point is 00:26:12 as Liam was making it out to be. I'm trying to look at the quarter-by-quarter breakdown because if you just pull up the raw stats and didn't watch the game, Jalen Hurts is still 29 for 38 with one interception and 311 yards. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Like that's – now granted, from what I understand, that was mostly in like the second half. Right. And I mean the score kind of shows that because all the points were scored. Like the saints had a field goal in the first quarter and then philly scored 15 in the fourth yeah and so it truly is like i i don't know i i was i was talking to someone else about it the other day and it's one of those things where and i know you spoke about it in the last podcast, where this just doesn't seem to be the existence of a game plan and offensive coordinator whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Like the whole concept of you have to balance run and pass or everybody's going to come hit your quarterback who is a scrambler. And will fumble when you hit him. We know this like that's it seems it seems pretty clear like it's like oh it's like oh third quarter it's like okay yeah maybe we're gonna actually have a full end-to-end game plan on how we do this and oh what do you know it's all of a sudden successful yeah i i i would love to know like how much because i know they said they took the game the game uh plan away from sirianni but he's still the head coach so i wonder how much interference that is and like and like halfway through the game do we do we change that um but you know at the end of the end of the end of the the day the defense held the pass rush
Starting point is 00:28:01 that was dead finally showed up and we were able to secure able to secure the win you know and saquon barkley is really good right now he's he's leading the league in rushing yards um i i no more of this like dumb dumb cute shit when you're in the uh in the red zone like when it's when it's you know third and goal like just to give it to saquon limp limp out of it. Yeah. Why would you not use him in that role? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Now I'm on a Nick Sirianni rabbit hole just real quick. I didn't know he went to Mount Union. Played football for Mount Union in New York, Division III school. He doesn't really have much experience at a high level of ball. No. It's very much he was just like, I mean, he had a stint as the offensive coordinator for the Colts and then just became a head coach, basically. Yeah. Yeah, he coached at Mount Union.
Starting point is 00:28:57 He coached at IUP, I think. And then he got hired at the Chiefs. And he just worked his way up relatively quickly through the ranks um he he does look a little younger than he is he's like 43 but he's still pretty young for a head coach um and but it's all it's it's you know how incestuous the fucking nfl coaching is you know it's always you know oh well you you work for frank reich we like frank reich okay let's hire you like it's it's uh we we need to hire we need to hire a coach uh and we just got a call from bill belichick um uh to say don't hire this uh person hire this person oh hey these
Starting point is 00:29:43 these two guys happen to be the only black guys that are on the that are there and it seems bill belichick is hand picking who them maybe there's something problematic about that no no yeah he's a he's a he he's i i mean look i'll just say this. When he was offensive coordinator for Frank Reich, Frank Reich called the plays and would let Sirianni call the plays. So I don't know. I don't know. Liam was saying on the last episode, it would be nice if we sucked ass just so that
Starting point is 00:30:25 Sirianni lost his job. I think you got to get rid of him at the end of the year. There's no reason to have him. He's not a particularly good coach. He seems like a fucking idiot. It's Philadelphia. We have a proud tradition of tanking in order to make the
Starting point is 00:30:41 team better. Trust the process. Yeah, that's never gone wrong. That's never gone wrong at all. Yep. It's working great for Washington right now. You know, the commanders. What's their current situation right now? They are...
Starting point is 00:31:02 Oh, they're 2-1. 2-1? No, no. Are they? they're 2-1. 2-1? No, no. Are they? That's preseason. They are 2-1. But they – I mean, they beat the Bengals 38-33. Yeah, and they beat the Giants.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Well, okay. Okay, yeah. Well, yeah. That's just two turds, you know, insert my comment about like, it's, it's, it's like, well,
Starting point is 00:31:30 how do the, even the Eagles are like, not great. How do they make it to the playoffs? It's like, you're, you're in the same fricking division as the commanders and the giants. So basically got two teams.
Starting point is 00:31:41 You just, that's what kind of wins. Yeah. Yeah. Although the, the, yeah although the uh the commanders love to steal a win from us uh some bullshit uh every year excuse me um well but you know think speaking of underdogs i want to i want to i want to i'm so happy right now i want to just celebrate so happy right now. I want to celebrate. I got it back.
Starting point is 00:32:07 I'm going to sing the whole thing. Oh, it's still going. The Temple Owls have their first win against Utah State. Definitely a ranked team like five years ago. They just fired their head coach over what was it? Something like
Starting point is 00:32:56 Utah State. We talked about it last night on doing the bonus. He was trying to do his own investigation into domestic violence a victim of domestic violence from one of his players or something like that I'll say
Starting point is 00:33:16 the HR policy on that strictly speaking is hey don't fucking do that we got people for this yes we have people trained to do this please don't do this yeah now i'll say uh i won't say in his credit but uh given the history of the ncaa and maybe maybe certain politics in the state of utah in a different scenario i might trust a head football coach uh honestly looking in domestic violence um or any sort of predatory violence
Starting point is 00:33:45 more than administration in the state of Utah. It's Utah State? Yeah, it's Utah State. If it's BYU, yeah. Yeah. I'm just looking at Temple's schedule. I'm glad they won. I am.
Starting point is 00:34:02 I'm still wondering, like, losing to Coastal Carolina and Navy. Yeah, the Navy game was an embarrassment. I mean, Navy's 2-0. Well, it was 2-0. What's Navy now? I hate that. Mission 2-0. They still 2-0?
Starting point is 00:34:21 Oh, wait. Let me see. Navy. They're second in the conference right now. They're 3-0. They beat Memphis 56-44. Jesus Christ. So is Army.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Yeah, we're playing Army next, and Army is undefeated. I think we should bring – Army is not that good. Our defense has been playing better. Temple Owls, they started off the game bad. They were playing poorly on offense. Defense has actually been decent all year. The line has been pretty good. Secondary has actually been okay.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Maybe not getting as many picks as they should have, but they've been definitely breaking up some plays. But the offense wasn't clicking. And then come the second quarter, it just, I don't know, they adjusted something. Evan Simon was getting, he was starting to break loose.
Starting point is 00:35:20 You know what I think it was that started was that the Maddox Trujillo 65-yard field goal, which is the longest ever at the link. I think it's like second or third longest ever in NCAA history. And I think that really changed stuff. And that made the team, I guess, just get inspired. They score 17 points in the second half to answer Utah State.
Starting point is 00:35:49 So that goes in a pretty even match into the halftime. And then Utah State only scored again right towards the end. We scored 28 points in the second half. Evan Simon looked like he was just a master. And he was to pick up the ball and running looked like he was just a master. And he was to pick up the ball and running when the guys weren't getting open. There was a 91-yard touchdown pass that was fucking amazing to Dante Wright, who's looking pretty good.
Starting point is 00:36:21 But yeah, no. The Temple Owls look good. I'm shocked. I'm shocked. We'll see. We got Army, then UConn. Army is, oh, I think we have a Thursday night football. So when this comes out,
Starting point is 00:36:41 it'll either come out tonight or tomorrow night. But yeah, no, we'll see how the Owls play against Army. They are home. So maybe some home cooking will be good. How far are we from West Point, though? Yeah, only like two hours. Yeah. Two, three hours.
Starting point is 00:37:00 That's the weird thing about Army, Navy, and Temple. It's like all these schools are not that far, far from each other. No, it actually makes sense to be in a conference together because we're close by as opposed to UTSA or some of the other teams in the American. Oh, Mountain West. Everybody's kind of rehashing
Starting point is 00:37:20 the pack, but as a Boise State fan, I also have to remind people of why boise state never actually joined the pack 12 which was uh uh the the pack at the time was trying to make california teams take tv priority over local broadcast um and was trying to make a vast majority of games for Boise State being played in California. So like – but I don't know. Every time I look at the conferences in there, I'm just like, eventually we have to get to regional conferences.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Like it has to be like split up. Yeah. Like it just doesn't make sense it's gonna happen again it's gonna happen again or or football is going to become its own thing we were talking about this on the bonus like football should become you know the college football league and and then everything else is going to go back to regional conferences it's gonna it's gonna have to especially for the other sports especially with with was it title nine or with how you you have to you have to balance the number of women's events uh it's
Starting point is 00:38:33 title nine yeah it's title nine i mean it i abolished the ncaa um first and foremost but like honestly if you take you run one rule set about like scholarships and funding and all the other shit like across division three two and one basically you just create like a like a tiered league system like they have in every other sport internationally mainly soccer and hockey and baseball and basketball and everything else like that and just take like that i it it has to go that way at a certain point in time yeah um it it's just there's there's too much confusion about it and like for their own like like take it out of a context of like what's i get like what's morally correct like at a certain point it's going to start hitting pocketbooks because people are just
Starting point is 00:39:30 going to stop freaking watching yeah that that that it's good it's going to have to change it's just untenable and you say it's going to be pocketbooks that's what's going to that's what's going to it's going to be traveling expenses yeah, for like the, the fencing team. Yeah. You know, and, and that the, the college,
Starting point is 00:39:50 like the, the, the football expenses, like we already know like what they are and it's, it's, it's going to have to change at some point, like you said. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Okay. I got, I got a question for you. We're going to, we're going to go into actually before we do that, then I'll ask you the question. he's going to redshirt um and change universities next year because you went he he alleges that unlv did not fulfill a verbal promise of 100 grand in nil money he's only gotten three grand. Removing expenses. Yeah, and the
Starting point is 00:40:47 team is saying, well, the NIL collective is like, well, we weren't told that this is what it was, but... Well, UNLV doing corrupt recruiting practices?
Starting point is 00:41:04 No, no, never. You know, UNLV like, had to be UNLV. Like reading through it, it was very much like they were, they had like verbal offers that would amount up to $100,000. And I would say that like that's important. It's not like they were just going to give him $100,000 to play. It was like appearances, moving fees, things like that, likeness and whatnot. And that was over the course of a year essentially. Right. And that's important. Like I think some people will hear it and be like, oh, well, he's like a hundred, like three grand. That's still a lot of money for a college kid. paid for the time he gets put into it right now. And frankly, if you're in this sort of situation and kind of the system of it,
Starting point is 00:42:14 I mean, I would love to be able to – someone to give me another perspective on it. But like in this, like if I am Matt Skuka, like if I'm at my employer and they said my salary is X and they pay me what, 3% of that? Right. I'm going to leave like at the end of the day. Like if it wasn't hard on paper. But the other aspect of it is like these children are coming into this nil stuff and they
Starting point is 00:42:48 think everything's set up for them but there is no like sort of legal protection or anything or legal help like to make sure it says like make sure you get a contract yeah and i think that this is all like wild west this is the scenario here like and they did offer, they did end up offering, they ended up formally offering him three grand a month for four months. Which, again, that's still not a hundred grand. Why, you know, oh, well, the defensive coordinator made the offer, not the head coach. Okay, well, you're still recruiting. Like, you're still making the verbal offer. That still should be, you know, you should you're still recruiting. You're still making the verbal offer. That still should be...
Starting point is 00:43:25 You should be held to that. But there's no... The way these collectives work, the way... It's so convoluted that this kind of shit's going to happen. I'm not surprised it's happened already,
Starting point is 00:43:41 but in this case, UNLV was looking at making a run, and he's played really well this year, now he's like fuck you i'm gonna retain my eligibility i can't play for another team until next year i'm gonna take my services elsewhere and i i mean i'm glad that he's able to do that they they were there was dishonesty in recruiting him. You know? There definitely needs to be, like, I mean, like, this is very Madden manager brain. But, like, how you basically have, like, on player recruiting, like, the offer of things are, like, it should be just, like, maybe not publicly posted for everybody to see, but for you to see when you make your decision to go somewhere. The team should be like, when I go to choose UNLV versus USC or Boise State or something like that. I do like how I picked three teams that all have their own unique corruption scandals and involvement in the pack, whatever number it's going to end up being. But there should be – Boise State is offering you X. UNLV is offering you Y. and like like like create a player logic in Madden
Starting point is 00:45:05 has better logic and disclosure than the actual NIL right like to the point
Starting point is 00:45:13 you don't even need new software you could just rip that from EA Sports yeah take the new college football I'm going to promise my player you are going to be campus legend
Starting point is 00:45:22 yeah that's what I'm promising you yeah oh thanks coach for the I love I love those like little combinations my player, you are going to be campus legend. That's what I'm promising you. Yeah. Oh, thanks coach for the, I love those little combinations that come up in CFB. It's like campus legend, the big game. What does that even fucking mean? Yeah, I'm promising you
Starting point is 00:45:35 I'm going to sway you to come to my school for the big game. For the big game. What's the big game? Yeah, you know, the big one. The big one. The big one you're going to play in. Yeah. I'm a sway you to come to my school for a 1986 Trans Am kind of runs most of the time. Oh, that's only available to SMU.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Yeah. Yeah. They should get clever with it. Like, you know, if you're going to Georgia Tech, you can drive the Ramblin the ramblin wreck like you get one drive and that's like part of it that's part of the nil you know yes if you go to maryland you can drive ralph regent's old golf card i don't know if i ever now this is a quick aside i don't know if i ever told that story in this podcast but when i went to maryland football camp it was during the freesian years uh and freesian not a very mobile man very heavyset fellow um would just drive around campus in his golf cart but he kind of couldn't really fit into it so he would just do the thing where
Starting point is 00:46:39 he'd have like one foot on the gas pedal and a hand the steering wheel and his other foot like on the wheel well and just drive around talking to people like, and you just see them just, you just hear the golf cart like struggling as he's pulling up. And I think that golf cart is still a Maryland. I think they actually did save it because he was on it all of the time. But yeah, you recruited the Maryland, you get a, you're a crew to the Maryland,
Starting point is 00:47:05 you get a day in Ralph Regan's golf cart. It's like the Stanley Cup, right? You get a day with it? Yeah. So I got a question for you. It's another football related question. We talked about it. I asked you by name
Starting point is 00:47:22 on the last podcast. Can Tua fight concussions with the art of jujitsu? Can he grapple his way out of a concussion? I'm pulling up my notes. Here's the thing, and I think that has to be stated ahead of time, is there is an abundance of crunchy bullshit anti-medicine medicine that runs in like all combat sports but specifically in jujitsu um there is like i'm going to talk about like the actual scientific ish being things being studied right now of like guys that train jujitsu,
Starting point is 00:48:09 specifically because when you're training chokes and you are slightly cutting the blood away from the brain and getting the refreshing, that action of anti-concussive like brain like reawakening or whatever there is a study to say that makes the brain more resilient to impact um you can think of like if you have a bruise or like something like if you are flushing blood in and out of it it's going to heal faster because there is an aspect of that but in to his case it's the dumbest fucking thing i've ever heard i mean like i was like what what's the end goal that when tua gets hit he's gonna pull guard like on like it's like i i one of the guys that i train with who's about my size at this point, he was a quarterback for Penn. Younger guy is a quarterback for Penn.
Starting point is 00:49:15 And myself as a division two walk-on wrestler, like when we roll, I am – and being 10 years older than him, I am still pretty usually getting the better of him. And if you were to ask him, hey, was any of these skills actually poured over to football? No, because football skills also are not going to go over to jujitsu. There's no circle on the – there's no crossover on the Venn diagram. There's no skill set. Me having a real good swim move isn't gonna do me any uh any but like also you kind of saw it this year and how tua was taking the hits um where he was like
Starting point is 00:49:54 ducking his head and kind of curling his body which was what ended up giving him a concussion where someone should have just said hey if you hit open field fucking slide like take a knee like take the down you got your yardage if this is a concern of you so yeah as is normal like nfl fashion it's like we're going to replace actual game strategy with crunchy fucking like anti-medicine bullshit um on that note like if any other other quarterbacks want to start training jiu-jitsu and enter master's divisions, I'd love, you know, Aaron Rodgers, if you ever want to – I think we're about the same size. If you want to start training with dudes in – I mean,
Starting point is 00:50:41 I know a couple schools in New York. I'm sure Aaron Rodgers, Mr. Rodgers. No, I'm not going to call him Mr. Rodgers. If Aaron wants to start training jujitsu, I can know some local tournaments he can show up to. I promise I won't attack the hurt ankle. Is that the same as the UNLV promise? It's a paper promise.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Yeah, it's verbal. It's promise. Yeah. It's verbal. It's a verbal commitment. It's verbal. It's on my honor as a Jets fan. I mean, I know you wouldn't want to go up against Jalen Hurts.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Oh, no. That would be a struggle. I mean, I've gone up against guys that are as strong as Jalen Hurts, like former powerlifters. There's a certain like athletic archetype that would be absolutely disgusting at jiu-jitsu for a very particular – and Jalen Hurts like matches that archetype. Like if with the weight he's at now if jason kelsey even being older than me
Starting point is 00:51:47 started training jujitsu um started training jujitsu that would be very scary like that would be he would atrociously mess up most people even at the black belt level just from sheer like physicality um just for being a big guy yeah tua does not match that though i mean two is a pretty physical guy but he is not that level of physicality where he's going to like go and just like fuck people up at this point which is his which is an issue you don't do that like um i know everybody kind of treats the the head coach the dolphins as some sort of sweetheart because he's friends with Dan Soder, the comedian. But like, dude, he's fucking up.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Like he's been fucking up pretty consistently the last two years. Just because he's kind of a personable dude that's a bro and like down to earth kind of slightly doesn't mean that he isn't making bad fucking decisions as a head coach. Yeah. He seems to be very like, Oh, well that's between like two and us. And like,
Starting point is 00:52:55 you like it, you know, that's not you, you guys don't worry about it. Um, I, I, you know,
Starting point is 00:53:01 we talked about this last week, but yet now he needs to, he needs to retire. Just, just take the money and get out of there. You know, I, that be on the IR the rest of the year. I, you know, we talked about this last week, but yet now he needs to, he needs to retire. Just, just take the money and get out of there. You know, I, that be on the IR the rest of the year.
Starting point is 00:53:09 I just, it's not worth it, dude. It's just, it's, uh, yeah. So I guess we can,
Starting point is 00:53:17 we need to put a point into it. We could say that, yeah, the, uh, that does not work. The, uh,
Starting point is 00:53:23 jujitsu will not prevent the concussion somehow, even if you try to, I don't know, grapple your way. I'm just imagining someone trying to tackle him and him just fumbling the ball and dropping down for a heel hook and then totally rupturing some guy's ACL. But as also the guy just steps down and cleats him right into his shoulder, ending both of their careers instantly.
Starting point is 00:53:51 That's the only possible outcome to this. You're not going to, you're not going to guillotine choke someone with a football helmet on, especially because they're like this. They're like astronaut helmets. And shoulder pads too. Well, you bring back the cowboy collar, right? No. Like that, You're like astronaut helmets now. And shoulder pads too. Well, you...
Starting point is 00:54:05 The bring back the cowboy collar, right? No, like... That critical support for bringing back the cowboy collar. Yeah. The... I'm just imagining like, all right, what martial art
Starting point is 00:54:15 would be effective? Like if he's Taekwondo and as he's about to get sacked, he just fucking cleats someone in the helmet, but then his cleat gets stuck in the helmet and then he just cleat gets stuck in the helmet and then he just has no ligaments in his leg left.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Like, what are you going to do? Are you going to judo chop a guy in the neck as he comes? I just imagine like an awesome power. Traditional judo Greco like throwing might be. Like, that's your answer. I mean, judo especially because the gi and the shoulder pads but then most of the rules ban you from doing that shit in the shoulder pads like that'd be holding calls all over how about the turkish oil wrestling where you have to like reach into a guy's
Starting point is 00:54:53 drawers i mean that's there's no rules there's no rules against that holding against that i know some people who would watch that yeah yeah yeah that or that or he's just gonna get into hima you know they'll have the the hema might like he just he just pulls out a fucking broadsword they're striking in hima like he was a lot of grappling like there's a lot of wrestlers and jitsu guys that go into hima because like because once you get in close range with the sword, it becomes a wrestling match. So, like, I don't know. Maybe he was the answer. Return to tradition.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Yeah. All right. That's a good place to segue. We got a couple DMs and voicemails today. So, first one, we got... I like that people are starting to... really are starting to text us. That's like the best...
Starting point is 00:55:50 That is... It's nice to have it all in one place. That or the Discord are the best places to do it now. The... Alright, so we got the DMs. Hello, Tom and Yay Liam. Not here today. This is Mo from Canada. Pronouns he, him.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Just a quick note that the city of Halifax is getting a new franchise team in the Basketball League. Formerly North American Premier Basketball. And they have decided to call the new team the Hoopers. It's the most Canadian basketball team. You're going to watch the Hoopers, don't you know? The Hoopers. Yeah, the Hoopers.

I need to listen to some more Sidney Crosby interviews and then just get my Halifax act. You got your Hoopers toque on. I can think of three more suitable names off the top of my head,
Starting point is 00:56:48 so clown on them for a line or two for me. Cheers. Love the show. Keep it going. We're already doing it. Yeah, we got you. Thanks, bro. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:56:57 The Halifax Hoopers. How about the Halifax Explosions? Is it too soon? No. Halifax. I don't know. The Halifax we promise we're not Cuba Qua.
Starting point is 00:57:12 The Halifax farewell to Nova Scotia as you see in Bound Coast. May your forest dark and dreary be or mountain stark and dreary be while I am far away over briny ocean tossed. Will you ever shine something care or something for me? The Halifax. You know, While I am far away over briny ocean Tossed will you ever Shine something a care Of care or something for me
Starting point is 00:57:27 The Halifax you know we had one Good pop punk band in the 2000s Yeah was Halifax were that That indie singer Where she got killed by she's like the one of Three people who's ever been killed by a coyote Was that Halifax
Starting point is 00:57:44 Halifax I know the pop punk a coyote. Was that Halifax? Halifax. I know the pop punk band, but there could be another Halifax. Taylor Mitchell. Was that Halifax? Yeah, she died in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:00 She was a country folk singer. She's the only known fatal coyote attack ever on a human in Canada. They believe that she tried to pet them. Just look. I mean, you're too close to Quebec. The Canadian politeness does not go over to the wildlife. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Don't do that. Yeah. RIP. RIP. This was in 2009. Yeah. Don't fuck with coyotes. Yeah, we got some weird coyote-dog hybrids up here. We got coyotes.
Starting point is 00:58:32 We got the whistler cats. Those big giant ferret-looking things apparently got them here. We got bears. We do have bears now. The whistle pigs? We call them groundhogs here. No, there's something else. Next time I come back, I'll bring up some more about the weird animal
Starting point is 00:58:55 that's allegedly across the street from myself in Upper Bucks County. Oh, boy. We're getting hyper-local Bucks County lore here. Yeah. But yeah, we have – I mean, Upper in upper bucks county we have bears now yeah one got hit by a car yeah so maybe maybe the local news yeah well there's a lot of them in north jersey sometimes across the delaware but um yeah the we we were at we were at peace valley after dark one night um doing like a moonlight tour and you could hear them howling and i was like yo is that for real someone like doing that as a joke and uh the
Starting point is 00:59:29 woman works for park she's like no that's like there's actual coyotes here i was like shit okay cool good to know um i've never seen one during the day um not at peace valley but i have seen i have seen them um up by likeville. I just was driving one day. I saw like, holy shit, that's a fucking coyote. What the fuck are you doing here? I've been seeing foxes near me. And I'll be honest, if I had one animal that would probably end up killing me because I tried to pet it, it would be a red fox. It's just so darn cute.
Starting point is 00:59:59 Like, I know they're ferocious. I know they'll claw and bite the crap out of you and probably give me rabies and I'll probably die. But I see them walking down the road and I'm like, I want to help you. I just want to guide you back to – Why are you so adorable? I want to find your little baby deer and skunk friend in the forest. You want to go frolic in the woods. Go frolic in a glade.
Starting point is 01:00:23 Go. Go. Carry on. Go. Go. Carry on. Yeah. All right. We got another DM. We got a hey, Tom. Yay, Liam.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Yeah. No, it's Patrick. This is Fizz from Minnesota. He, him. First time poster.
Starting point is 01:00:44 First time poster. long time listener. I can't believe the Vikings are coming off this strong this early with three wins so far, even though the only surprise really was the 49ers falling over. Big oof. Their defense seems to be kind of tough and have an okay offense. I was wondering if they're going to start some trouble with some for the other teams later in the season.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Uh-oh. Containment breach. A bit early the call for sure, but it will be interesting to watch. Fuck Penn State, fuck Green Bay, and go Birds! P.S. Your podcast helped me somewhat have a growing interest in sports again after
Starting point is 01:01:21 vastly losing interest in it many years ago. keep it up guys and patrick is currently muted as we have a child he's stealing my candy go ahead deal with candy as is tradition every time i'm on the children have to walk in actually you can have it okay um that's sweet yes uh sorry i hit halloween candy uh here a year ago and i'm at the end of it i need my children to steal the rest of it um you can have this if you want to oh thank you there bring it upstairs i'll be up there in 10 minutes 15 minutes ish yeah and brought the child with candy and she's out yep there you go mission accomplished yeah
Starting point is 01:02:07 um yeah like are the vikings good the vikings are one of those teams where i always want them to at least be decent um like i have no reason to hate the vikings and because i feel like this is solely an argument for green bay and Vikings fans to hate each other. And every time I look at Green Bay or Minnesota, I'm just like, I kind of just want – I'd like you two to just be – at least one of you be decent every year, which that would piss off both the Green Bay and Vikings fans at the same time because you have to pick one.
Starting point is 01:02:44 I mean, like the one thing is like the 49ers. I mean, our question is, are the 49ers actually good this year? Cause it seems like they're very up and down, especially from that game in particular. Especially with the,
Starting point is 01:03:00 like the, the injuries and stuff they have. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think the 49ers are a solid team. It does look like the Vikings might be making a run for it. If we have this weird, like, one-sided hatred of the Vikings for some reason because of, you know, a couple of years ago. We talked about this episode, I think, like three or four episodes back.
Starting point is 01:03:24 I don't hate the Vikings. I don't give a shit. No. I mean, you'll lose against us again in the NFC, maybe. I don't know. But yeah, no, I am glad. It is a bit early to call. I think they will be a decent team going forward.
Starting point is 01:03:45 They're not going undefeated. But I also, and I said this on the, this was a Discord message. I did say, thanks. I'm glad that, you know, I'm helping you like sports because you should like sports.
Starting point is 01:04:00 Don't let the dumb sports betting and bro bullshit get in your way. We got one last DM. It's a, hey, it's Rebecca from Illinois. She, her, here's my question. Should we bring back the Dodgers back to Brooklyn? Yes. Rebecca, phenomenal question.
Starting point is 01:04:21 I am Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont. And I think that the Brooklyn Dodgers should have never left New York City. It is a travesty of capitalism, and you are okay to want them back. I want them back. I think we are going to bring them back. Bring the Dodgers back to Brooklyn, put the Jets back in Shea Stadium where they belong. That's my opinion of it.
Starting point is 01:04:54 And as someone, I think I told you before this, I got to meet Sandy Koufax, former pitcher for the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers, legend of the game, 1955 to 1965, one of the best pitchers to play it during the era, and still alive and kicking at 88 years old. Doesn't look 88. I think Mr. Koufax would be appreciative to bring the Dodgers back to Brooklyn since he was a Brooklyn boy.
Starting point is 01:05:27 Maybe he'll move back. Yeah. I mean, I know. I found out where he actually lives at. And so, you know, I don't know. Why would you live there? It's like a McDonald's. It's like, I hate that.
Starting point is 01:05:41 That's probably why. It's just remote. I mean, like, look, the township I'm particularly in, there's a ton of celebrities that live here, and I'm always – and first I ask why, and then I'm like, oh, no one's going to give a shit who you are here. The remoteness is part of the allure. But, yeah, I mean, definitely bring the Dodgers back to Brooklyn, I think,
Starting point is 01:06:03 and the Jets back to Shea Stadium. I think, like, it's – I mean, like, at this point with Brooklyn, like, if you actually built a place from the play, you're just going to displace people with too much money and need to get the fuck out of Brooklyn anyways. We're just going to displace the last of the dirtbag left. Yeah. I think half the Chapp last of the dirtbag left. Yeah. I think half the Chappell guys live in fucking LA now anyway. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:28 I think it's – I literally think it's just – Just Will. Just Will Miniker lives in Brooklyn at this point. Hell, like even most famous people have moved out of Brooklyn because they get recognized too much. Yeah. Yeah. brooklyn because they get recognized too much yeah um yeah i mean like yeah i no one who works in manhattan actually like works works in manhattan actually still lives in brooklyn anymore it's people with way too much money and time and they need a little adversity
Starting point is 01:06:56 just so yeah definitely and bring bring the dodgers bring the dodgers back to brooklyn also we get east Coast Shohei Otani I'm okay I'm okay I don't know how happy he'll be about that but yeah I'm okay with that excuse me we got two voicemails we got one from Wayne one from Charlie I know Wayne was
Starting point is 01:07:22 apologizing for not having called in for a couple weeks, so let's listen to Wayne. Hey, Tom. Yeah, Liam. It's Wayne. Pronouncing him. Calling to recap.
Starting point is 01:07:35 Everything that's happened in sports since the last time I called, I guess. Currently, the New York Mets are within striking distance of the last wild card spot. They've taken at least two out of the four games from the Phillies, which is the absolute minimum that was needed. Pete Alonzo may have just played his final game as a New York Met. That remains to be seen on what exactly is going to happen. But the Eagles managed to squeak a win out today thanks to high-end talent such as Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts.
Starting point is 01:08:19 Meaning Sirianni gets to coach the Eagles for another week. God help us all. Flyers open up preseason hockey today playing the Capitals. They beat them 6-2. We're approximately three weeks away from the start of the NHL campaign, as well as a couple weeks before the NBA season starts. And Rutgers is 3-0. They beat Virginia Tech.
Starting point is 01:08:55 And next week they'll have a massive home game against the University of Washington to open up Big Ten play because coverage realignment is that much of a train wreck. Anyway, go Rutgers. And as always, fuck Penn State. Thanks, Wayne. Indeed. Absolutely, fuck Penn State. Thanks, Wayne.
Starting point is 01:09:13 Yeah, well, hey, shouts out to Rutgers, you know. They'll see if you can beat Washington. It's... That's – Yep. Yeah. I love you, Rutgers. But Washington football is rather dominant.
Starting point is 01:09:37 That's all. I'll leave it there. And unfortunately, at the end of the day, you are still Rutgers. Yeah. You are still – I am still Rutgers, you are still Rutgers. Yeah. You are still Butkers. All right. Next, our next voicemail is from Charlie to give us our union update. Hey, guys.
Starting point is 01:09:56 Hey, Liam. Hey, Tom. This is Charlie from Roxborough. He, him, Philadelphia Union did take care of business at home against D.C. United, winning 4-0 to stay in the playoff spot, basically either ninth or eighth place, getting goals from Ura, two from Gostag, and Ty Baribo, and almost a goal from Kaven Sullivan late in the game.
Starting point is 01:10:26 Just, you know, the Union did come in, you know, winning back-to-back games again. You know, trying to round into some sort of form to get into season and continue their bumbling into the playoffs. Pretty much good as it gets at home. Held it. Gave up a couple big chances, but none of them went in. Pretty much that would be the only news of the weekend,
Starting point is 01:10:58 except for the fact that Temple did finally win a football game. They will not be going 0-12. They did beat terrible, terrible Utah State. Should have worn the Cal print hat and helmets. It's just hitting a 64-yard field goal back-to-back weeks after banking field goals off of the crossbar, 54, and now 64 yards. Temple looking good. They have to play Army.
Starting point is 01:11:25 Union are going to be on the road at Orlando City next Saturday. They've got their second, most decisive home game is going to be the last home game against Atlanta in two weeks. So we'll see if they can keep the momentum up
Starting point is 01:11:41 and we'll see if Temple can win maybe two football games of the season, maybe let's not push our luck. Later, fellas. We have faith, Charlie. We have faith. We were 3-9 the last three years. Maybe we can go 4-8.
Starting point is 01:11:59 I don't want to go 2-10. It's all rise. It's like a playlist. It starts low and just rise, rise, rise, rise, rise from here. Things can only get better. I think things could get worse. Yes, they could. They could get worse.
Starting point is 01:12:17 We can't hit rock bottom. We have not hit rock bottom yet. No. Keep Evan Simon in. If they do this shit with Forrest Brock, no. Evan Simon clearly is the guy. He can be a quarterback. He's got the composure and the ability.
Starting point is 01:12:32 Forrest Brock is not the guy. Look, Temple, my only comment on Temple is Temple just needs to make the one year where they break all the recruiting rules. The one year. No one's going to pay attention. And then you win that year, and then you all the recruiting rules. The one year. No one's going to pay attention. And then you win that year, and then you get the death penalty. And you kill the franchise. You end on a
Starting point is 01:12:52 high note, and when you bring it back, you're like, hey, remember all that cool stuff we did for the players? We can't do that anymore, but look how good we take care of our players. What every successful franchise for a college football franchise has done. Temple, you just, you know, you need to get
Starting point is 01:13:07 the, you know, what's the Philly equivalent of a 85 Trans Am to hand out the players? Um, hmm. What is the probably like a 93 Honda Civic? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:24 I mean, they could go full military sign-on bonuses, get everybody matching red and black Dodge Chargers. Yeah, there you go. Or cherry and white. Cherry and white, yeah. Act with a better look. Yeah, that would actually go. Or actually, you know what we feel like? It would be like an ATV that you ride illegally down Broad Street against traffic.
Starting point is 01:13:45 Yeah. I mean, you can go full Bucks County and just do that with the ATVs that are like the side-by-sides. Yeah. You can just do a side-by-side. Yeah. And then, well, then if you do a side-by-side, cops will think it's fine because it's what they see at home. So, because if you ride an ATV down Broad Street, that's bad. But if you're riding a side-by-side down 611, that's culture.
Starting point is 01:14:07 Yeah, that's just the Bucks County thing. You wouldn't get it. Yeah. All right.
