This is an I-Heart podcast.
Guaranteed Human.
The 2026 NFL draft is here,
and the NFL Daily podcast has it covered from all angles.
Join me, Greg Rosenthal, and Jordan Rodriguez after night one on Thursday.
Nick Shook joins me night two Friday and then Sunday to recap everything
that went down over the three days in Pittsburgh.
We'll tell you who won the draft and which players were my favorite picks.
Listen to NFL Daily with Greg Rosenthal on the IHard.
Art Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
A win is a win.
A win is a win.
I don't care what I'm saying.
Yep, that's me, Clivert Taylor the 4th.
You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey,
or my career in sports media.
Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifers Show.
This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with athletes,
creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated.
So let's get to it.
Listen to the Clifford show on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok podcast network on TikTok.
Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans,
a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans.
I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change.
We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that.
that none of us likes.
You can have opinions.
You can have like a strong stance.
And then there's your body having its own program.
Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hello, everybody.
Thank you for being here.
Eddie, blow that whistle.
Thank you very much.
Let's go first to the Thunder.
Thank you, Lord.
What's up?
Thank you, Lord.
Dude, you can put that thong back in your drawer where it's done.
It's done.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Oh, and now you guys have to tell me, right?
Like, hey, dude, you're so smart.
You called it a long time ago.
Well, the point was it that you were so smart.
The point was that was just a normal bet.
And you were like, I got this great.
Out of nowhere bet.
Well, I think the Thunder are going to win it all.
And we're like, well, they by far are the best record all season.
And they are the best team.
So if you're going to claim that, you at least have to put something up against it.
And you did.
I did.
I said that I'd wear a thaw.
Did you bet money on it though?
Like a future?
No way, dude.
No chance.
I wasn't, dude.
The way the Pacers were playing, there's no way I was going to bet that the O.
K.C.
I was going to win.
I was puckered.
The whole, well, the whole first half of the game, I was puckered.
And after that, they were down a half, even after Halliburton went down.
And how tragic was that?
Awful.
Dude, when he started slapping the floor.
Yeah, you knew it was bad.
That sucked.
I still think the Thunder would have won the game, but that sucked.
So, you know what else sucked?
Let me mention this here.
I had bet $600 on the Thunder money line,
Homegrowing to score 12 plus points,
and Halliburton to score 16 or more points.
And $600 was going to make $2,000.
Dang, that'd be nice.
Halliburton had nine in like the first three minutes.
Yeah, he was on track.
Yeah.
On track, he was going to have it at half.
No, just for your bet.
Absolutely.
So I was already count my money.
I was like, I just hit $2,000.
And then he goes down and I went, no.
And my wife's like, yeah, that sucks.
I'm like, no for my bet.
Halliburton was saying no, and you were saying no for different reasons.
Let him at least get 16.
So I go and I had some stuff to do like leading into halftime.
And my wife stayed and I kept the television on halftime.
And I'm like, is he back?
Did he come back?
He's going to play at all?
And she was like, no.
And she was looking at online.
She said, they think he tore his Achilles.
And I was like, no.
And she was like, bet.
I was like, yeah.
But he's going to miss the whole year next year.
That's so sad.
That sucks.
Look at that.
There's Halliburton.
There's Tatum.
Taitum.
Lillard on the box, too.
Yep.
Even look at Oklahoma City, like John Morant got hurt, round one.
They play when Porter was hurt, and he got hurt but had been hurt.
Aaron Gordon on Denver, too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So anyway, good job, Dunder.
Yeah, good job.
It's your biggest takeaway.
the injury or the Thunder winning?
Like as far as in 10 years from now, do you be like,
remember that game when Halliburne got hurt?
Or is it like,
remember when the Thunder won their first title?
I don't think it'll be any of that.
No?
I think if the Thunder win two or three or four,
it'll be, man,
remember when San Presti won that first title
after being there 17 years?
And like, I don't know.
I don't think there was anything really like memorable about it.
Other than the injury though, you know?
But I don't even think that injury mattered.
I mean, it mattered in the game, but Halliburton's not a big enough star for them to be like, man,
remember when Jordan went down in game six and the Jazz were able to come back and win that thing?
I think the same thing.
Yeah, I feel like if Halliburton were a bigger star or if the Pacers were a favorite, it would have been different.
But I think Oklahoma City was probably going to win anyway.
It was a home game.
It sucks.
I'm not taking anything away from it.
The only thing that sucks worse than his injury is I lost my bet.
That sucked.
Yeah.
You know it was really sad, dude, that very end when they're all walking in the tunnel and he's,
and he's just there in his crutches, and everyone's giving him a hug.
Well, talk about everybody's Achilles getting ruptured.
I know.
So that sucked.
And it also sucks that here's Indiana, and they make it to game seven of the championship series.
And now next year, they're not even going to have their main guy.
The East is so open.
I think we can win the East next year, boys.
Yeah.
The whistles, too.
Let's do it.
Do we have read on?
Give me a second.
We hook them up.
Okay.
We're hooking it up with.
Reed, because Reid's got something he wants to talk about.
That's a good thing.
I'm a little worried.
Well, mostly, it's just, Reed
is living in disaster right now.
After he moved from us, he moved to St.
Louis, and it's been nothing but disaster.
So I said, I wanted to get him on and talk with him.
I wonder if you even watch our sports anymore now that he's not supposed to.
Okay, he's on, voice.
I'm going to go with a no.
Is he Zoomie?
Mike, can you hear him?
Yep.
Hey, Reed.
My boys.
There he is.
From St. Louis.
I miss you guys.
St. Louis Reed is on with us.
That's his name now.
Yeah, come on now.
St. Louis Reed.
How are you doing, buddy?
I'm good, man.
How are you doing?
Pretty good.
Do you watch a game last night?
Absolutely not.
But I watched the highlights.
And what did you take away from it?
Halliburton got hurt, but I also took that away from when you texted us about that.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, for I showed you my bet and how tragic that was.
Dude, that is so tragic.
See, that's even more tragic.
in the injury even to read.
Well, we have a personal connection to you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Go ahead, Reed.
When we went to the Pacers game,
I bet on Halliburton for that game,
and he also got injured in that game.
Maybe it's us.
Oh, that's the one he did the split, right, Reed?
I got my money back, though.
Well, they ended up giving me my bet back,
but I didn't win the money.
So I guess...
So even though you got the other two,
I guess they couldn't keep a two part later?
That's what I hoped.
I hope they were just going to keep the two.
Like if it's even...
in a, yeah.
What about like a partial payout or something?
That's what I want.
Yeah.
Or if I just were to bet it.
Yeah, stupid.
Anyway, Reed, so what happened to you?
Dude, it's been pretty tragic since we moved into this apartment, but the tornado hit
as soon as we moved in and kind of destroyed, we're on the sixth floor, so the roof is right
above us, and we got all the AC units and stuff above us.
And so I got exposed pipe in here, and I was in the living room watching a moment.
movie. Also my nickname in college. Exposed pipe. Exposed pipe. Yeah. Go ahead.
We read the living room watching a movie and I hear like a whiz-sh sound. I was like,
that did not sound good. So I was like, I made sure Maddie was like, you know, not flushing the
bathroom or something, but she was in the kitchen. So I was like, something's not good. So I walked in
there. And it turns out this pipe above me is not for drainage for the rain, which is what they
said. It's actually for a bathroom above us. And, um,
No.
It literally just dumped piss water all into my studio.
No way.
No way.
No way.
Nooky water everywhere, man.
And Reed just posted about his studio.
Like, it's all ready.
Yeah, dude.
I went and got a whole can of lysol.
I used a whole can of lysol.
Sprayed the floors.
Sprayed everything.
I went to, um, I didn't trust them to fix this pipe because they haven't really done a whole lot out here.
So I went to Walmart and got like as much flayed.
select seals I could possibly get.
Have you seen that?
You know, the infomercial guy?
He was like,
the guy with a stick-it-on-the-beard.
It's like, it'll hold two boats together.
Literally, yeah.
Yeah, I got so much of that, dude, and I just
wrapped these pipes with it, so it never
happens again. And you're sure that water
came from another toilet down into your
studio? Yep, because I
instantly went outside and was going
down to the
whatever office. And
I, in the elevator, I passed
the maintenance guy, and he goes,
Did you just get a leak?
And I was like, yeah, what was that?
And he was like, yeah, so you got a bathroom above you and it flooded.
So that's what that was.
I was like, fantastic.
And by flooded, though, that could mean just water that's in the toilet or bathtub.
It doesn't have to mean someone peed in that water came down the hole.
Well, you said it was specifically the urinal.
They have a urinal up there?
Yeah, dude, right above me.
And so hopefully y'all can't hear it.
I've tried to do as much like,
you know, isolation is possible, but it literally sounds like a waterfall constantly above me
with these pipes.
Which I thought-Lewis.
Dude, I thought it was just rainwater, but no, it's straight dukey water coming above my head.
So this had nothing to do with the tornado.
This is a whole different deal.
I think the tornado, though, created a bunch of damage.
And, right?
Yeah, we got, we got a leak in our kitchen now, too.
There's like a leak in the ceiling coming down from the AC units they put in that we just
have like a towel that's dripping.
man I went out of here
it also sounds like a garage band
hey everybody thanks for coming to the show
we are exposed pipe
so what do you do
what do you do all day now that you don't have a job
so recently
I've literally just been trying to get my office together
I somewhat have it together
none of the electronics are plugged in
this is literally just my microphone and my laptop
and so today is
putting all the wiring and cable management
and stuff like that
So once that gets done, then I'm going to try to start reaching out and getting some more jobs and trying to just edit my life away.
Is your wife working?
Yeah.
Yep.
She's working today.
I dropped her off at the hospital this morning.
And then I'll pick her up around one or so.
Do you guys only have one car?
No, we have two, but also the parking here is horrendous where we got a sardine in back in, like one after the other.
So it just makes sense that I would just drive.
so I don't have to pull out and she has to take her car out.
Or it's kind of like a job.
It's your job.
Oh, to move the car.
Yeah, it's, dude, it's been rough.
I'm ready to, I'm ready to get a house.
Oh, I thought he was going to say come back.
Yeah, let's go.
Move on back, buddy.
Oh, man.
It's been nice, though, to be home with the pup.
So, you all want to see my weiner real quick?
Yes, yeah, show us your weiner.
I saw it in the back.
You show me your wiener, then show us your exposed pipe.
Look at that, dude.
Who's dog?
Whose dog is that?
That's Maddie.
It's blue.
It's your dog now, though, right?
Yeah, she's been mine.
So she's a little studio weenie down here.
She's stayed up.
Also, my name is my name and college.
Studio weenie.
All right, Reed.
Oh, man.
Good luck, buddy.
Good luck, buddy.
Thank you, man.
I love you guys.
I miss you.
I'm actually going to, I fur-
Here we go.
He's freezing now.
How convenient.
Am I freezing?
Yeah.
Even the Wi-Fi sits out here.
It's fantastic.
Yeah, St. Louis-Wi.
What's you got?
I say I'm going to come
Oh no
Oh no
We lost you dude
We'll give you one more time
Go ahead
Oh come on
No
Do you hear me
Do you go go
No man
I'm free this every time
I'm gonna come see you in July
July 7
Okay
Okay
Okay
See you read everybody
Bye you guys
Bye
Bye
this weekend?
Oh yeah, how'd you do?
Let me tell you something.
Come on.
I go to this tournament.
They moved me up a class.
I shouldn't have been playing
in this class that I was up in.
Uh-oh.
I don't know if the lower class
was too full and the upper class
wasn't like the upper category.
I'm playing against guys
that have like 4.0 ratings.
And so I get in
and I can tell immediately
that I'm overmatched
because they're hitting like curves
and like they're serving with curves.
That's fine.
But they're advanced.
And it's a lot.
of non-American players, so they're really good. They're better than Americans. Just like everything
else in life. You're non-American, you're probably pretty much better at...
Football. Yeah. Yeah. Well, soccer. And big football. Yeah.
Tennis. American football, I'm saying. All we have is like, we own now. We always
always play. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm playing, and I'm playing this guy, he's older than me,
probably 10 or so years, but I can tell he's really good. And so you play to 11. And I'm, I'm, I'm,
but because I realized they put me in a class
that I've never played in before
so I'm like I've really got to focus up
and I beat him like 11 to 8
and the guy's like a 4.0
and then he's like all right
let's go again and I'm like what
it was best two out of three
he pounded me the next two
I put every bit of energy in the first
I had nothing left in the tank
I realized it was best of 3 to 11
it was like death by attrition
players just falling out
so I lost but I felt pretty good
because I played somebody
that was a 4.0 and I beat them once
thinking okay I can play with these guys
so I'm 0 and 1
and there were eight people in this tournament
you had to play seven best of threes to 11.
So it was full round robin.
And so it was like a four-hour tournament.
Jeez.
I had no idea.
So I play the second guy and I get whooped.
Like, fly in the game.
American?
Hmm, interesting, you asked that.
Was you wearing like a...
Feels kind of racist.
No, no, no, no.
I'm kidding.
I'm the one.
Hold on I got to remember.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
He was wearing red, white, and blue shorts?
No.
No.
I have all their names, too.
I played again.
the guy crushed me
like two games to zero
and I'm like still like
I gave it all in that first match
and so I'm like this sucks
I'm 0 and 2 in tournament play
and I get to round 3
and I'm like if I don't win this
I'm just playing for pride at this point
I still want to be in
and so I'm playing this dude
and he is calling balls
that are way I can't see
and I always give the benefit of that
to the other person to make the call
if it's close because I know my vision's not good
but he's calling balls that even I can see her in out
and I'm getting pissed
so he does it like four times
and I'm like dude
what's up
and he like says something back
and I said I didn't say anything the first few times
but you're obviously not looking at the ball
and you're just calling him out
so he does it again
and I go are you doing a bit
well he thinks I called him a
oh no
my question was are you doing a bit
but he hears hey you're a bit
so he starts coming up to the net mouthing
at this point
I'm tired, I'm irritated, I've lost two in a row
And so I just take the ball and throw it to them
What? Not at him
Oh, throw it. Well, I mean, it's kind of a mid, not two
Is it like your serve or like? No, just like react to this
Oh boy, oh boy
But also like my wife told me, if I get to fight at a pickleball tournament
That's the lamest fight I could ever be in
And the guy wasn't bigger than me, he was probably my size, normal, whatever.
American?
Yeah
a bit younger
but I'm Eric
so again he thought I called on the B word
which I didn't
and so I throw the ball at him
and then I realize because he catches it
I have to have it to serve again
after we get into our little tiff
so he throws it back to me I catch it
well I end up beating him
all right
but before I beat him
I like haliburtoned
I wiped out
and so my knee is all scratched
up my back
and so in that final game
I like fought through injury
and won
and in my head
I'm like, this is going to be like a Disney movie.
You know, like I'm going to show them.
So I went, he's pissed.
I was pissed, but I won.
I go to the next match.
I can't even move.
And I'm playing some dude, not American.
No, not American.
I take three points and I'm like, one, I wouldn't be able to play with him anyway.
And I did the most responsible, mature thing I could possibly do.
Retired.
Not from the game of pickleball, but in the tournament it says Bobby B. retired.
Wow.
My back kills today.
My knees all scratched up.
but I was a little overmatched.
I wish I wouldn't have played up in that high bracket.
I wasn't ready for it.
And I almost got to a fight at a pickleball tournament.
Wow.
Pretty epic.
I'm a little injured right now.
But I did get a win.
But you fought through it.
I did get a win.
But it was after the match when I just sat and let it get cold before the next match,
man, my knee started to go in my back.
And I just knew I could have probably played through it,
but it would have hurt me real bad the next day.
And I just knew my wife was going to be like, why did you play through that crap?
Was she there?
No.
No.
Oh, she didn't go?
No, God, no.
You were just by yourself?
Oh, man.
You drove yourself?
Yeah.
You think she's going to go sit at a pickleball tournament for two hours and watch me play?
Some other random dudes?
Probably not.
Probably not, but it'd just be funny to come back in your faces all busted.
You're like, I got in a fight.
Yeah, well, that's what's what she said?
She was like, don't get into a fight.
You might lose.
And then I was like, what do you mean I might lose?
She goes, and you might lose at a pickleball tournament, which makes it even more embarrassing.
So that was my pickleball tournament weekend.
I'm going to do something.
I'm going to give you guys a chance to win some cash, Eddie.
Let's go.
But you have to wait just in cash to win some cash.
Okay.
Okay.
We'll take a break.
I got a little game we're going to play.
We'll talk about Kevin Durant getting traded to the Rockets to.
Give us a second.
The 2026 NFL draft is here and the NFL Daily podcast has it covered from all angles.
Join me, Greg Rosenthal, and Jordan Roderig after night one on Thursday.
Nick Shook joins me night two Friday and then Sunday to recap everything that went down over the three days in
Pittsburgh. We'll tell you who won the draft and which players were my favorite picks.
Listen to NFL Daily with Greg Rosenthal on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcast.
A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'm saying.
Yep, that's me, Clipper Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey
from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along
the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of
that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered
conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be
heard, but celebrated. One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in
sports and entertainment, and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even
music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast, it's a space for honest conversations,
stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So,
If you've ever supported me or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right where you need to be.
Listen to the Clifford show on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok.
I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money.
It's Financial Literacy Month and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth and building your future.
This month, hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre
as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up.
If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures,
it's like, what?
Today now, obviously, it's like 100%.
They believe everything.
But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job.
There's an economic component to communities thriving.
If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail.
And what I mean by fail is they don't.
have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't
work unless there's money flowing through them.
Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple
Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Have a game we're going to play here. And only one of you gets the opportunity to play
the game. Oh, interesting. You ever see that show named that tune where it was like, I can name
that in four notes? The other person goes, well, I can name that song in three notes.
Yeah. And then finally someone has to go, name that song.
that tune. You never saw it? For example, Kevin, if I were to give a clue, unnamed that tune,
if I were to say, this song is what you walk on to get to a higher place. And then Eddie would go,
uh-huh, I can name that song in five notes. I know it already. Right, I made it so. Okay,
you don't have to do that. Of course, I made it so easy. I got this. And so you've heard the clue,
and he goes, I can name it in five notes. So that means he gets to hear the first five notes of the
song. And then you go, no, with the
clue, I think I can name it in four.
Okay. And then Eddie gets to go,
well, I can name
it in three. And if you're like, okay, good luck. Then you go
name that tune. Okay. You challenge.
Gambling with tunes, basically. Yes.
Okay. So. But I'm assuming
this has nothing to do with tunes. It doesn't,
but it's kind of the idea of the sports version
of this. Okay. Okay. Now, if
you do decide you want to play, it'll be a $1.
It'll be a $1 bet by both of you. Let's go. I'm in.
But, but if you're able to win,
I'll give you five bucks. I like it.
So what I have is I have every national championship won in this calendar year, this school calendar year.
Okay.
So, because it's over now.
This is concluded now that we are June 23rd.
Whoa.
The 24-25 year is over.
So anything now that happens, and I believe it will be football or whatever in the fall, that starts it again.
So I have every one of them
Now how many can you name
Because there are
3, 6, 7
times 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 times 5 is
35. There's 38 national champions
Jeez, this is crazy.
Yep.
And so you'll get to the point
One of you'll say you can do it
And then if you do it, and you do it, you get five bucks
If not, you give me a dollar.
Can we write them down?
But you have to win it first.
Eddie, how many can you name?
Can you name at least one national championship?
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
I can name at least one.
Okay.
Yeah, off the top of my head, three.
Oh, he goes to three.
Eddie, can you be three?
I can name four.
Okay.
So we're talking all sports across the board.
All sports.
So, we're talking, NCAA, Division I, National Champs.
All right.
Calls.
Name that championship.
Name that.
Or name those natdies.
Oh my gosh.
What's he at?
He's trying to do five?
He either has to do five.
Okay, I got five.
He's got five easily.
Eddie, can you do six?
He's got five.
Ooh.
No, I can't do six, so name those natties.
Okay, so you can't miss any.
So you have to get five NCAA national champions.
Go ahead.
Give me your first one.
Ohio State.
In?
Football.
FBS football, Ohio State.
Check.
That's correct.
One.
Okay.
LSU baseball.
Correct.
That was easy.
Yeah.
Florida basketball.
Correct.
And then I'm going to go
Cornell lacrosse.
What is he talking?
You have to look that up?
I'm on it right here.
I'm fine.
So it's lacrosse and field hockey the same thing or no?
No.
Is field hockey women?
Oh,
men's lacrosse.
Cornell.
Boom.
How did you know that?
Just thorough friends on the team?
Yeah, you know, I love my Ivy League schools.
Come on.
You need one more.
Number five is, I think they lost it.
Oh, Texas softball.
Correct.
That was the one of mine.
$5.
Nice job.
Wow, Kevin.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Thank you, Cornell.
Come get your cash there.
Dang, Eddie.
Could you have got those five?
Yeah, those would have been the five that I could have gotten.
No other ones?
I'm trying to think, man.
Women's cross country and men's cross country was BYU.
Field hockey was northwestern.
Women's soccer was North Carolina.
Men's soccer was, I don't know, some school with a V and a cat running through it.
Villanova.
Nah, it's green.
Green V.
Women's volleyball, Penn State, men's water polo, UCLA.
FCS football, the Bisons.
North Dakota?
North Dakota State.
Bowling, Y.
Red Y.
Fencing, Notre Dame,
Women's Gymnastics, OU,
Men's Gymnastics, Michigan, Women's Ice Hockey,
Wisconsin, men's ice hockey, I don't know,
some galloping horse, some horsehead.
No, it's like a western Michigan or something.
Maybe. Rifle? You gotta get that.
West Virginia.
Skiing, Utah. Women's swim and dive,
Virginia. Men's swim and dive, Texas.
Women's indoor track,
Oregon. Men's indoor track,
USC. Wrestling Penn State.
Women's basketball.
Oh, that could have been one.
Women's basketball.
Because pagebackers finally hit it.
Is that Connecticut?
Yukon.
Didn't even think about women's basketball.
Men's basketball, Florida.
Women's golf, Northwestern,
men's golf,
Oklahoma State,
Women's lacrosse,
North Carolina,
men's lacrosse,
Cornell.
We're almost done here.
That's clutch, dude.
That was clutch.
Women's rowing, Stanford,
women's tennis, Georgia,
men's tennis,
Wake Forest.
Women's outdoor track,
Georgia,
men's outdoor track.
It was shared between
A&M and looks like
USC.
You're just doing logos?
Yeah.
Good job.
Just logos.
Men's volleyball,
LB.
Long Beach.
Long Beach. Compton.
How you're where you're from?
Who?
Women's water polo of Stanford.
Beach volleyball, TCU.
Okay.
Softball, Texas and baseball LSU.
You got them five.
Good job.
Dang.
38.
That's a lot.
Do you know any of those other ones,
Kevin, now that you heard about?
I mean, the Yukon Women,
if I would have thought about that hard enough.
But other than that,
I don't know. I would have guessed like an Ivy League school for rowing or something like that.
Yeah.
I feel like Texas, too, always wins swimming. They're so good.
What prescription are you on now?
I don't know what it's called.
I did take a picture of it because I thought you might ask me, but it's a anti-inflammatory.
I'm on one because I lost some cartilage in my ankle.
It's called like, what's your's called?
Naproxin.
I don't think I have that one.
you know how old people compare medication that's what we're doing right now what are you taking
you have one of those pill things with the days of the week on it i have i have it i have it i did it one time
i tore some cartilage out of my ankle and so it's gone you don't grow that back which sucks
there's no regeneration uh so it's bone on bone all the time but the good news is i can't hurt
it any worse the bad news is it just always hurts so my doctor gave me the same thing which is
an anti-inflammatory let's go and i don't take it every single day but i do take it like if i'm
going to play something, but you have one.
It makes me feel so, my like feels so good.
Dude, I feel great.
It's awesome.
I feel the best that I've felt in 10, 15 years.
Yeah.
Like my back, I wake up, my back doesn't hurt, nothing, my heel.
I've been dealing with the planar fasciitis.
No pain there.
Really?
I feel great.
And my arm, most importantly, which is why I went to the sports doctor anyway to just double
check on my arm to see if it was healing properly.
What's yours called?
A naproxin.
Okay, mine's called molyxic.
Oh, I hear that's a good one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We do sound so old.
Yeah.
And it just helps my injury so much.
But you're not taking it every day, huh?
So my doctor said take it every day.
I'm nervous about taking anything every day.
I don't even like to take Advil.
I mean, if I get a headache, I try not to take anything because I'm so scared of being
addicted to anything.
But I probably could take it every day.
So, yeah, I just wondered if it was the same, but it does help so much.
My wife is worried.
She's like, what are you taking over there?
Because, you know, I'm like, oh, is it dinner time?
Hold on, let me get my pill and she had no idea.
She thought I just went to the doctor and, you know, they got some physical therapy, whatever, appointments.
But no, I'm like, I'm on anti-inflammatories and I feel awesome.
Kevin, did you ever hurt yourself playing football?
Yeah.
But not an injury that's recurring still that so hurts.
No, you have one, right?
Your shoulder?
Yeah, that's still recurring, though.
But as far as, no other than concussions, like, no, like broken bones or anything like that, playing football.
I have broken fingers from playing football
my injuries are playing the man's sport, pickleball.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Man, man.
Do you see Travis Kelsey thinks he has CTE?
No.
Yeah, he's like, I'm almost certain.
I have it.
It makes sense.
If you're playing a position
where you're just taking headshot after headshot,
which is what you're doing as a center.
Not Travis, Jason Kelsey.
Jason Kelsey.
Oh, I thought it was Travis.
Okay.
Sorry, sorry.
Wrong Kelsey.
He's like, I want to keep playing.
No, yeah, good point.
Jason Kelsey, my bad.
Jason Kelsey is like, I'm sure I have CETE.
Did he talk about,
why he feels like he has it?
Like are there certain symptoms that keep having?
I think there are mild, but I think he's also saying like,
not only do I have these mild,
but I think he knows the reality of you get in the head that many times.
Yeah.
And you're having these.
Mike,
would you look up exactly what he said?
That just came to my mind as we're talking about this and injuries.
But when the weather gets weird,
my fingers hurt so bad.
I did break those playing high school football.
Back of my mandeys.
What is that?
Because my foot, you know,
that I broke with the Cardinals,
like it hurts too when the weather changes.
to get to say you broke it with the Cardinals.
Man, when I play with the Cardinals,
and I stop the story there.
I don't have to go any further with the story.
Let's ask chat, GBT.
ChatGPT has to tell us because that is so weird
that like your body will ache because of weather change.
Okay, here we go.
Why does my body ache because of weather change?
For example, anything that I've broken,
why does it hurt whenever the weather is changing?
Is it just going to tell you or does it make a video?
Everything's video for him.
Everything's a video where his guys on horses.
Let me tell you, Bobby.
Well, Bobby.
And never talked back to me.
It's supposed to talk back to me.
Why does it hurt whenever the weather changes and any of my injury?
I don't even know what I'm asking.
Broken bones, right?
Broken bones.
I don't know.
Just say like, why do my old broken bones hurt when the weather changes?
Why do my old injuries hurt worse when the weather changes?
Old injuries often hurt worse when the weather changes.
when the weather changes due to shifts in barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity,
and how those factors affect your body's tissues and nerves.
Number one, barometric pressure drops.
When a storm has come in, the air pressure drops.
The lower pressure allows tissues to expand, especially around joints or damaged areas,
like scar tissue or arthritic joints.
Wow.
Cold temperatures cause muscles, tendons, and ligaments to stiffen.
That stiffness reduces mobility and can exacerbate lingering weaknesses and tightness.
from an old injury.
Humidity swings, nerve hypersensitivity,
and why it happens more when you age,
aging joints already have less cartilage
and slower circulation.
Injuries don't heal perfectly,
so those tissues are more vulnerable
to external stressors like weather fluctuations.
If you want relief,
warm compression, light stretching,
magnesium, or ask Eddie about his medicine.
That's amazing.
So I understand the cold, right?
Because it's like putting ice on something,
like automatically,
whatever tendons, ligaments,
tighten up. Makes sense.
But the fact that humidity
and the pressure in the air
messes with your bones,
that's, I mean,
man, I don't know.
Like, how did they figure that one out?
Probably somebody was just hurting a lot less
when the weather got different.
Like, hey, wait a second here.
I do have ESPN's all quarter century team.
If you saw this,
you can take yourself out of the conversation.
Kevin, did you see it?
I did not.
So here's ESPN's all quarter century team.
Quarter century.
Last 25 years.
And quarterbacked it.
They have three players.
Quarterback, they have three players.
Three.
25 years.
Tom Brady.
Correct.
Patrick Mahomes.
At number three, Patrick Mahomes.
Correct.
Peyton Manning.
Correct.
Good one.
Those are your three quarterbacks.
One fullback.
Kyle Hushik?
Correct.
Nice.
I couldn't think of another one.
Three running backs.
Last 25 years.
Ladanean Tomlinson
No
I think that might be
before 25 years
Poker fighter
I don't know LTA
what
Adrian Peterson
Adrian Peterson
No
Oh wow
What
25 years
And I don't know
Where LT falls in the 25 years
But he didn't make the list
That's crazy
So
2010 and on
No
2000 and on
Yeah, because we're
2000 and on.
Running backs.
Three running backs.
I'm just trying to think if they didn't make it.
Who else?
Would they have put Sequin on there?
No.
No.
I couldn't argue that he shouldn't be on there.
Right.
I just think that's too fresh.
Yeah, I'm trying to think 20 years ago.
Two of these guys still play right now.
Wow.
Okay.
Alvin Camara?
Mm-mm.
You're going to punch you?
McCaffrey's one.
Wow.
Really?
The other one you're going to punch yourself in the face for
because you're not getting it.
I'm thinking of it.
I mean, is it a cowboy?
Oh, Ezekiel Elliott.
I'm just kidding.
No way.
I'm joking.
I'm joking.
Oh.
Who do you think has been the most dominant running back
of the last 15 years,
even though he hasn't been on a good team?
Oh, Derek Henry.
Correct.
Yes.
Okay.
Derek Henry, Christian McCaffrey,
and Priest Holm.
Oh, I would have never gotten that.
I would have never guessed Priest Holmes.
No.
Not my list.
I probably would put a Sequin.
Yeah.
Because even when the Giants sucked, he was really good.
And also, it's probably a recency bias, as they just won the Super Bowl.
I would have even put, like, Jamal Charles before pre-Sove.
Like, guessing, I'm saying.
Wide receiver.
I mean, Rainy Moss?
Number one, correct.
Yeah.
Terrell Owens?
Mm-mm.
The other two?
probably on the, well, at least one of them
on the earlier side of the last 25 years.
Played with one of the quarterbacks.
Oh, Marvin Harrison?
Correct.
Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison.
And the other, I feel like if he'd have played on a team
that got him the ball more,
he would have been a lot more dominant, but the same thing
when he was in college.
Like, awesome.
Larry Fitzgerald?
No, Julio Jones.
Oh.
Oh, I guess there's another, there's an X and a Y.
Oh, so there's another Y receiver, yeah.
Okay, one more?
The other one.
makes complete sense.
I would put him as probably
the third greatest
and T.O. was on this, Kevin, so
you got that one right. The other one I would
put down is arguably the second or
third greatest wide receiver ever.
If we're putting Jerry Rice at one
and we're putting Randy Moss,
let's just say it two, who do you put at three
all time?
Who is the third
greatest wide receiver of all time in you guys' minds?
At least in my mind.
T.O. is up there, but it's not
T.O.
played for one team
one team only
and when you guys
when it comes to you
you're gonna be like
oh yeah duh
he's got a cool nickname
Ocho Cinco
Cooler
we've had him on this show
oh Calvin Johnson
Correct
Oh Megatron
Yeah okay
And Justin Jefferson
is on the list
Yeah I almost said him
I mean
I think Jamar Chase
and Justin Jefferson
are kind of interchangeable
because they're both
the most dominant
wide receiver right now
but there you go. Tide in.
Gronk.
Yep, number one.
Travis Kelsey number two.
There's one more.
Gronk, Kelsey.
Antonio Gates?
No.
That's a good one, though.
That is a good one.
Tony Gonzalez?
Correct.
Yeah.
Tony Gonzalez.
And then there's a bunch of linemen.
Okay, let's go.
No, no, no.
We'll be here all day.
Name a few linemen in the last 25 years that even come to mind.
Because it's not like Jason Kelsey.
Jason Kelsey is the only center on the list.
Tyron Smith?
Nope.
Good guess, though, Kevin.
Logan Mankins?
Nope.
Who's the most dominant?
I won't even say tackle, but I'll just say linemen.
He's a tackle.
He has a tackle.
Who's the most dominant lineman in the NFL today?
Trent Williams.
Correct.
Who's the most dominant lineman of like the 2010s?
Richie Incognito.
I'd say Joe Thomas is probably in that mix.
He's never one.
Yeah, he's on there.
Yeah.
Zach Martin, the Cowboys made it.
Nice.
Lane Johnson made it.
Head coach is the last 25 years.
I mean, you gotta go, Andy Reid.
Oh, stop.
What?
25 years, not five years.
How many coaches do we have? Just one?
One head coach.
Oh, it's Belichick.
It's Belichick.
Yeah.
Offensive coordinator.
Hmm.
Sean McVeigh.
No, Kyle Shanahan.
Kyle Shanahan, correct.
Hey.
Why did you laugh like that?
Well, because that's hard.
He nailed it as second guess.
I know.
Good for you, Kevin.
Defensive coordinator
I mean, Belichick doesn't
If you get this, you even up with Kevin
What's his name?
No, you're not going to get it then
What's his name?
The guy with the dimple on his chin
If you have to what's his name it, you ain't getting it
The guy with the dimple on it
Used to be the head coach for
The Texans
Alabama
Oh
You know who I'm talking about?
It's not him
He's at Boston College now
Who you're thinking of?
He's at Boston College now
Can you get his name?
I'll get there
No, no, no, try to get it
Jeva Jebicek.
Jebichich.
That's correct.
Gosh, what's his name?
I get him mixed up with a guy that you,
Wally Zerbiak.
No, no, now I'm thinking of Gary Kubiak.
No.
Gubiak did coach the Texans.
My mind is scrambled.
Who is the coach now?
He's been on this show.
I know he has.
Texans head coach.
Went into his rehab stint after the coach's rehab at Alabama.
I'll never get this.
Is it Boston College?
Gosh, I'll never get this.
Kevin save him.
Billy O'Bill O'Brien.
Bill O'Brien.
And defensive coordinator is?
Eddie, are you still guessing or no?
No, man, go ahead.
I don't know why I want to say Wade Phillips.
Correct.
Wow.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Dude, you're good at this game.
If any of you get strength and conditioning coach.
There's no way that's real.
Yeah, it's Dave Taub, T-O-U-B.
Dave Taub.
From which team?
Oh, he's played for a lot, dude.
Well, they don't list the teams.
Oh, okay.
So with Wade Phillips, he does have a Broncos hat on.
And Shanahan does have a 49ers hat on,
but he wasn't the coordinator with the 49ers, was he?
He got that head coach job.
I don't think he moved up within the 49ers organization.
He was offensive coordinator with Washington, right?
Yeah.
Anyway, that was that list.
Yeah, Washington, Atlanta.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, Atlanta, because he was 283, right?
Yes, he was.
Oh, that's not his fault.
because he couldn't stop the offense.
I mean, I don't know.
I guess you could blame him.
But if the head coach is like,
hey, play conservative,
because we have such a lead.
You got to do what he says.
Right?
Yeah, absolutely.
You got to listen to the head coach,
but you got to look at you know,
I got Tom Brady on the other side.
What are you thinking?
Yeah, but if you're the officer coordinator,
you got to do what the head coach says.
And if he's like, play conservative,
run the clock, run the ball, you run the ball.
I don't know why I'm defending him.
I don't know him.
I don't know him.
I don't know him.
You think Kevin's trying to be a dad influencer?
I just don't know what he's doing.
Let's go, Eddie.
No, no, relax.
Kevin, you became a dad, what, like four weeks ago, three weeks ago, and now you're
posting online like you're a dad fluencer?
Is he given advice or what?
Oh, man, I get on Instagram and he's there with his two babies and he's like one,
he's got twins, right?
So one in his left arm, the other one in his right arm, he's on a rocking chair.
And he's like, here are my tips of being a good dad.
Like, what are you talking about?
I don't even, I can't even quote you because I don't remember.
what you said. It was such a BS. That's funny. It was a power rankings. My top five power rankings,
all new dads should know. Go check it out. Okay, that's, it's a dad fluencer, man. Is he giving
advice or is he teaching you what he's learned? I think there's a difference. I think he is kind of
trying to teach you what he's learned, but the way his presence is on the chair is like,
look at me. I'm a dad. Take it from me. Are you a little jealous? I've been a dad for 17 years,
so this guy comes to the market. It's like a rookie show.
shows up. But you haven't tried to be a dad influencer
at all. You don't show you're kids on social media.
Correct. Kevin's kids are the star of the show.
Yeah. I don't know.
Are you just hating? I mean, Eddie.
Go jealousy right now? Eddie, you can be featured on it if you want.
No, man. The vet, you know, you can be the vet. I can be the rookie. We can make
something after it if you want. No, I'm good. I'm good.
I just thought it was very brave of you to come in as a three-week father coming up with
some power rankings and tips on how to be a dad.
New dad. I was specific. This is all for new dad.
Mads.
You should have.
I would say a little hater.
A little hater right now.
What were your tips?
Do you remember?
Yeah, we actually talked about it on this podcast before.
It was get help.
You lose the remote.
When you think you have enough diapers, you don't.
And there's two more.
How's the diaper thing going, by the way?
It's good.
Actually, speaking of Eddie, he got me some more diapers.
So, thanks, Eddie.
No problem, dude.
And let me tell you something else.
Can I jump on this one, too?
Yeah.
So I ask Kevin, like, I would love to support another dad.
You know, tell me what you need.
Like, I know diapers are tough when you have kids, especially twins, right?
So I'm like, send me a text.
Let me know what diapers you need.
I meant size.
He sends me, uh, I haven't even forget the name, Millie Moon luxury diapers.
I'm like, what?
I go to Target.
And it goes, that's funny.
Dude, it goes from like, you know, affordable diapers to medium price diapers to
to elegant luxury diapers.
and that's what he's picked.
He's going premium gas.
Like, go fill up my car and do premium gas.
Supreme even.
Wow.
You want to ask, man, you're going to get the answer.
But your ask wasn't, give me the exact type of diapers.
It's like what size of diaper?
Well, I mean, it was a little bit of both because some parents are like, yeah, I like
pamper's, I like huggies.
That's what I expected.
How much are those, how much are diapers in general?
I would say middle of the line, you can do a pack of 50, 60 diapers for 30 bucks.
and what did a pack cost of the luxury
Mamma Mia Moons
They were close to
What do you got?
45 bucks a box
Dude, come on
I spent 100 on you
No you didn't
Yes I did
Yeah
You got two boxes
Two boxes
Well one for one twin
And one for the other one you know
I'm gonna look up specifically
The newborn because that's what you got
I mean at
It did
At Target
I'm seeing
I've been out of the diaper market
for a little bit
but yeah but you're about to get back in it
I was just supporting my friend
no just for you
Oh
Do you have news?
No no Eddie
He's gonna need to wear him himself
Go ahead
I see $30 but it doesn't have the count here
I see a 96 count for 30 bucks
Okay what's see
That's what you got me
Show me pamper's
Why you look at that
I'm gonna read this Jason Kelsey tweet
I understand
I don't take offense at all
what I'm saying is it's completely reasonable to think FCTE.
Even though there's no test to see I currently have CTE,
the evidence suggests I probably do.
Just like the reality that a lot,
if not most of the high level.
And I think what he's saying is high level folks have it.
He says,
he just goes on.
He goes, I can virtually guarantee I have CTE.
All the research would suggest I have some degree of it.
I think it's entirely reasonable to assume
I have some degree of that pathology.
And then he goes on.
And somebody's fighting with them.
Like, how can you say that?
And he's like, well, I'm saying it about me.
Right.
He can say whatever he wants about himself.
Yeah, because some guy's like, I'm just going to put this out there.
You know what else makes unsubstantiated claims?
People suffering from some guys just arguing with them and Kelsey interacts.
Why would anyone argue with that?
He's just talking about his experience.
What's a diaper price?
I see $30.96 pamper's.
Dang, did you do that whole song and dance?
You were wrong?
No, I'm telling you know how when you buy, you don't know this,
but when you buy beer, they strategically have the cheapest beer on the left side and it gets, you know,
Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo The President.
Same thing with the diapers.
Millie Moon.
It even says luxury on it.
I just thought it was...
Hey, that's what my wife said.
They have sensitive skin.
So these Millie Moons are awesome.
Guarantee you, dude.
None of us wore Millie Moons and we're good.
Yeah, what's up?
Don't all babies have sensitive skin?
Correct.
Now, they have extra sensitive skin.
I got, I got it.
So they got extra luxury.
Extra luxury.
Luxury diapers.
Extra luxury.
Yes.
New Orleans Safety.
Justin Reed won two Super Bowl.
the Chiefs. He also kicked. Remember that?
Oh, yeah. Now he's a two-time
chess champion. Wow.
Some people are just good at everything.
Justin Reed won the Blitz Champs.
A chess tournament featuring eight current
and former NFL players beating Kyler
Murray for a second year in a row. The tournament will give
$30,000 to reach charity. He
focuses on supporting disadvantaged youth
and communities in Houston, Baton Rouge, and Kansas City.
But he won the...
So, if you're playing chess against other football players,
how good are the football players? Yeah, I wouldn't
I mean... I would think everyone's
of an amateur style.
I bet you the winner of this tournament's really good.
But I bet like the fifth guy, kind of sucks.
Like, his first round match, I bet was pretty weak.
It drops dramatically.
But that's pretty cool that he plays chess.
We have a chess board.
My wife won't play with me.
She goes, I never learned how to play chess.
And I'm like, perfect.
Yeah, she should learn.
I got like eight wins in a row then.
Do you play?
I used to play Yahoo chess.
So that's been 20 years.
But I used to play Yahoo chess.
And you would win all the time, I assume.
No, not all the time.
But I would, you didn't win all the time because you,
your color was always your rating.
And you could easily go and play somebody up a different color,
a way better color than you that played more.
So much like golf,
you kind of knew where everybody was,
like a handicap,
and you played people around you.
You really didn't jump up into those.
But I had a phase of a few years
where I played a lot of Yahoo chess.
But no, I was never good.
I never focused on it.
But it was fun.
Mike, do you ever play chess?
Yeah, I know how to play.
I'm not good at it, but I could play you.
Do you ever Yahoo chess it?
No.
I figured he'd be a Yahoo chess guy.
Kevin, you ever play chess?
Yeah, yeah, of course.
It's been 15 years, but yeah.
I know how.
Chess is fun.
What would you rather play chess or jenga?
Chess.
I'd rather play chess.
I'd go chess.
Are you better at chess than jenga?
I mean, I'm pretty good at jenga, but I just enjoy chess more because there's more thinking.
Jenga's like, all right, just get all the middle ones out of the way and then...
Let it fall over.
I bought a jenga board for the studio.
At some point, I figure some sort of gambling opportunity will come up and will.
bet on jinga. So I bought one like last week.
Is it a regular size one or one of those big ones?
It's not the big one because I don't want to clean that up.
That's always a pain.
Boom. And then it's everywhere. No, I bought it. I bought a normal one.
But yeah, congratulations to Justin Reed. He won it and 30,000 bucks goes to his charity,
which is super cool.

A win is a win.
A win is a win.
I don't care which I'm saying.
Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th.
You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football,

Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined.

I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money.
It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing
real conversations about money, growth, and building your future.
This month, hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum
Pierre as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up.
If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures,
it's like, what?
Today now, obviously, it's like 100%.
They believe everything.
But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job.
There's an economic component to community striving.
If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail.
And what I mean by fell is they don't have money to pay for food.
They cannot feed their kids.
They do not have homes.
Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.

Kevin Durant's been traded of the Rockets.
The Rockets sent out Jalen Green, Dylan Brooks, the number 10 pick in this year's draft, and five second round picks for the Suns.
So
Did they announce that at Fanatics Fest?
He was on stage
What happened, yeah?
Not because he was on stage
But it happened while he was on stage
I think he knew it was coming or right about
But they're like Kevin Drayette
Finds out he was traded
On stage at Fanatics Fest
He probably had an idea
Yeah, yeah
He didn't look surprised
Yeah, that it was getting pretty close
The reaction was cool though
Yeah
What do you think Durant average last year?
23
26.6 points per game
He shot over 50% from the field
43% from 3
the Rockets were just mid
offensively last year
12th
and so Durant's going to add spacing and scoring
he doesn't have to have the ball which is great
but like Singoon's awesome
yeah he's a beast
and so that helps a guy like Singoon
Fred Van Vleet
is staying on the team
I don't know Jaylon Green's awesome
yeah he's really good or at least he's young
I would say inconsistent but when he is playing well he's awesome
but he is a volume scorer
so he shoots a lot
Dylan Brooks got traded
I just think of Dylan Brooks
as being the guy that just
Mouth LeBron the whole time
That's literally what I know him for
Apparently he's a really good
defensive player
But yeah so
It'll be interesting to see what happens
Durant has an expiring deal
He's due or 50 million bucks next season
There are reports he'll won an extension
But I think that Houston team competes
And they just gave a new contract
Yeah
If this team was in the east
I feel like they would be pretty legit
But this West is still pretty competitive, I would say, right?
I mean, you got OKC, you got the Warriors will still be relevant.
I mean.
But if you're Houston, you can't just sit with a team that's pretty good and just allow them to sit and over contracts to expire.
You got to swing for the fence.
Like you've got to make a run.
So they, Houston pretty much gave all those upside guys up for reliability.
I was just surprised that Kevin Durant still average almost 30 points a game being 30.
How old is he?
38?
37.
Yeah.
Turns 37 in September.
What you say, Mike?
He's 36.
Okay, that's crazy.
He's 36 and still that good.
I mean, look at LeBron.
He's 40.
And I think he was second team all-NBA.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
That's crazy.
So, yeah, big move this weekend.
Kind of funny it didn't happen until after the finals, though.
You would think it had won at its own minute.
Yeah, that's what I was wondering.
And then, was it, wait, was it Sunday?
Same day as the game seven?
Yeah.
Right?
So it's just kind of funny.
OK.
He wins a title on the same day.
He gets traded for like the six time in the last six years or so.
He has been on a lot of teams, huh?
A lot.
And he's one of the top 15 players of all time.
Yeah.
The fact that he's 36, 37 is still that good, that's pretty crazy.
He tore his Achilles at one point.
Yeah, 19.
Missed the whole year.
It sucks for guys like Tatum and Halliburton, like just coming into their own.
Teams, the teams were just coming into their own.
I mean, the Celtics won the championship.
Dude, that sucks so bad.
Thanks.
It's almost like they have the word Arkansas written under their jersey somewhere.
That's true.
It's a little patch.
Yeah.
You would think he played for Arkansas.
Yeah, you would think that
there's somewhere on his body
the word Arkansas was written.
I've been trying to convince myself
not to buy this Arkansas leather jacket.
Okay.
Dude, I don't even know what it looks like
and you didn't buy that.
I don't even buy,
I don't even wear leather.
But I took a picture of this jacket
because I was like,
if I was ever going to have a leather jacket,
it'd be this jacket.
Is it red?
No, it's black.
Dude, it's, it's,
I'm going to show it to you.
And I want you.
And I want you guys to convince me
that I should or shouldn't buy this jacket
because I don't wear leather.
I'm not against leather.
Right?
It's not your thing.
Like, also, when would I wear...
I don't even wear jackets, really.
Okay, here we go.
I don't know if you can see this.
Let's see.
Oh.
Hey, that's nice.
Come on.
Shiny.
Come on.
That's so shiny.
It's so shiny, dude.
It's awesome.
I mean, if they're...
Close.
Closer look?
You're going to walk in a room
and people are going to notice you.
And they're going to know you're a fan.
Look at the sleeves red with black striped on it.
That's cool.
That's legit.
Yeah, that is sick.
You guys just want me to get this look foolish.
No, no, no, no.
There's one person on this earth that should have that jacket.
And we're sitting in the same room.
Look at the back of it, though.
It says Arkansas, like in big red letters.
Let's see.
And it's like the big hog on the back.
Black, it's black with a red hog on it.
All leather.
That's pretty cool.
Yeah.
sweet. I feel like that's you, man. That's got, that's, that's you, that's your style.
I only wear leather. So I, but, I bought one last year with Patriots throwback one that's
freaking awesome. Is it a leather? And it's leather and I don't wear a leather either. I've won it at one time.
And it's really cool, but I'm like, it's just out of my comfort zone. Yeah, I like having.
Yeah, and I'm ready for next football season because I'm going to wear it one more time for
for sure. One more time. Try two this time. Okay, okay. Try two this year.
Well, where are you leaning? I don't even think that I should wear it. I should just have it.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
It's cool to look at in your closet.
You guys are bad influences.
I'm going to ask my wife today.
I'm going to be like, should I buy this?
And I bet you she goes, no, why would you?
Because you were born to wear that jacket.
You remember that scene in Rudy where his best friend, before he dies, gives him the jacket and says you were born to wear that jacket.
That's how I feel about that one.
This is for Rudy, coach.
He lays the jacket down.
Man, it does look cool, huh?
Go to your wife.
This is for Bobby.
Hey, what's the damage on that one?
I'd rather not say.
Okay.
That's all you have to say.
And 100% that's your jacket.
You need it.
I'm buying it now.
I'm buying it now.
Where's that button?
I double clicked it.
I double clicked it.
I'm buying it.
Come on.
Apple pay.
That means coming right to my house.
Processing.
Order confirmed.
Nice.
There we are.
There we are.
When can we expect to see you in that jacket?
Whenever it gets here.
Immediately.
Wow.
Dang, I'm so happy I did that.
I'm just going to wear it and not tell my wife I bought it and see what she says.
There you go.
Yeah, smart.
Okay, we're done.
Thank you guys for being here.
We will see you later on this week.
We should have the head coach of Virginia Tech football on Friday's episode, which would be pretty cool.
Thank you.
So thank you guys.
Eddie Blow the whistle.
A thunder.
Thunder, my new team.
And what do they say?
I'm a genius.
No, what are the thunders?
Thunder up, baby.
There you go, thunder up.
Oh, congrats to Thunder.
Congrats to me.
I got a big fancy dinner now.
I got to find the most expensive place in town.
Oh, that's right.
I do whatever I want.
Dr. Josie.
Dude, you need to get a tomahawk.
Get a tomahawk.
Find me a place.
Oh, I know one.
Okay.
It's the best steak I've had out here by far.
But I want to be really expensive.
Oh, it's super expensive.
Both of you guys on the show we do later this week, present me the meal I need to buy.
You got it.
Don't talk with each other.
You got it.
Don't talk with each other.
Okay.
And both of you present the meal and give me the final price.
Okay.
All right.
We'll see you guys later on this week.
All right, bye, by everybody.
