Look at Amin al-Hassin joining us on remote here for this hour, and we are blessed to have him here because we have not yet gotten to what is obviously the biggest news of the day we've failed as a podcast in the modern age. We covered Greg Gaudy.
Starting point is 00:02:20 We have not talked... We got to the Thielen trade. We have not talked about Taylor and Travis are engaged. The love was really. and Amin is someone who doesn't believe in in love. I mean, that's right, I don't mind saying it. I love love. That might be your worst intro ever.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Wow. Amin is someone who doesn't believe in love. Tombstone maybe? You're all right, pal. Inaccurate, I love love. It's very well documented. There were many people that were cynical about the love of these two people, and you were one of them,
Starting point is 00:02:56 and there were a lot more cynics. A lot more cynics than there were people who thought these two were really in love. Have you heard Travis Kelsey's father talk about how in love his young boy is? How in love? Like he is smitten. And there was more, you're not going to tell me that most people in America were cynical about that relationship. For it to end an engagement, love wins and a mean who does not love, love loses. I love love
Starting point is 00:03:25 And I was always Oh see That's L Duncan Different black person Dan Not me Dan It's a lovely person
Starting point is 00:03:36 But that's not me Dan got confused Oh that is the mistake I made That is the mistake I'm sorry I mean I'm sorry I thought you were ab
Starting point is 00:03:45 I love love And I love That they love each other And you know Me and the Kelsey see brothers go way back to before Taylor entered the picture and so I'm just really happy and supportive for them and I urge everyone the public in the media to give them their privacy the guys let's not let's not kind of descend like a bunch of falcons trying to grab meat
Starting point is 00:04:12 from the from the clutches of a falconier right you see this all these companies are doing he's right what was that what was that what was that We are, why the clutch is about. Yeah. Falcon is going for there. Let Elle talk, Dan. Holding, yeah, El, El Hassan, El Duncan.
Starting point is 00:04:33 No, you see all these companies doing all these, these promotions now? Oh, put Tatei and Travis in the promo code to get 20% off. Like, that's not nice. You can't just use them as an excuse to sell your goods. Can I ask you a question? I mean, because the world seemed to stop yesterday when the news came out for whatever reason. and you're right. Like, everyone was taking their engagement photo and putting it up, like, with their own
Starting point is 00:04:57 comment and just kind of, like, trying to grift off of this whole thing. And I was thinking similar to you, like, I mean, okay, they're engaged. Like, I'm not married yet. Let's just pump the brakes. They're just engaged. I've seen engagement fall apart all the time. Not that I'm saying that would happen here. But everyone was kind of like poking around and all this stuff.
Starting point is 00:05:12 And then old chatty, Ed Kelsey is coming out, and he's spilling all the details to pretty much anyone that would ask him. And I'm kind of like, Ed, what are we doing here, bud? like what's the end game here ed like what are we trying to get out of this like we know donna got on a reality show and everybody loves mama kelsey like is this an envy thing with papa ed that now he's just out there telling anyone like oh you know you know it didn't just happen i knew that this happened two weeks ago i know all the information i'll tell you all of it what's ed's deal billy i'll answer you like this imagine if chris cody instead
Starting point is 00:05:45 of being married to his lovely wife was engaged to taylor swift how you I'm listening. I mean, does Taylor should have no much money you cashed in on the other day, Chris? That's true. We're not talking about that. I'm the old dollar. But yeah, like, how do you think Greg would behave? That's exactly how, that's almost to a T what Greg would do.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Only Greg would have done it sooner. What's the end game here, Ed? I can't be the only one that wondered that. You didn't think that when you see, like, oh, you know, confirm they've been engaged for two weeks. He gave a lot of quotes saying he knew all the details. He knew where the knees were, like, You know, weren't there two kneelings reported that he proposed in a way on one knee romantically? Like, I don't, I'm confused by why people reacted to this the way that they did, where it felt like it was the biggest thing that was happening anywhere in people talking.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Yes. Dan, it was. It was. Yeah, was it not? Name something that was bigger. No, but why should it be? Does it not seem extraordinarily... Because your English teacher's marrying the gym teacher, Dan.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Dynamite emoji. She's the biggest pop star in the world. It's news. People seem interested in their relationship, it would appear. And her art is deeply personal in that it's biographical. Autobiographical. Stugat. Are we concerned?
Starting point is 00:07:10 Are we concerned about how the music is going to suffer? Because... You know... Being too happy. You know, love? I mean, I was thinking, and I'd like to, and Roy T. did earlier, I have a pickle that I think that we may have found ourselves
Starting point is 00:07:24 and if you'd like to play the... Hit it, Roy! A month. 299. It's a good deal. Hell of a deal. So I like you, I mean, I love love. But I'm also a practical man.
Starting point is 00:07:38 And I think a lot of people started having this conversation yesterday. And it was, will there be a pre-up in this marriage? Whoa. Yeah. I don't know. You guys are men's of mean. You guys have pre-ups? I know I have a pre-nup here?
Starting point is 00:07:51 Yep. No, I'm kidding. No pre-nips? I do not. No. I'm a mean. Okay, well... I'm not a man of mean.
Starting point is 00:08:01 I don't know how pre-ups work, but they seem to me to be awkward to bring up the situation of, hey, I love you. I want to make this forever, but maybe it won't be. And in the case that it isn't, I want you to have nothing and suffer. So, like, that's what a pre-nups seems like it is to me, right? That was a quick conversation with me and my wife. It was super quick because I assumed we were getting a pre-nup. So I'm like, yeah, I'm just going to get a pre-nup, right? And she's like, yeah, I'll get a lawyer too.
Starting point is 00:08:26 And I'm like, okay, I really don't want to do it that way. Well, that would have been fun. Why didn't you do that? Oh, I mean, come on. What are we doing? No, pre-nup. What are we doing? I'm going to get married at 50 years old, and I'm going to say, by way of romance, let's gather up our lawyers?
Starting point is 00:08:40 Have you not been told what wives love? You know who loves it more? I know. Who? ex-wives. Because they were once a wife. It doesn't go away. And now the love is gone for you.
Starting point is 00:08:58 It grows. Yeah. Well, anywho, friends. So, the pre-up might be coming. And the pre-up obviously will be more so to protect Taylor than Travis because Taylor has, I don't know if you guys have heard this, a lot of money. Is she worth over a billion dollars? I think so.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Think about this. Has an athlete ever married a woman. woman worth a billion dollars. Tom Brady? Tom Brady. Justelle Bunchin, do you think it was worth a billion dollars? I don't think Jaselle's worth a billion dollars. No way.
Starting point is 00:09:28 No way. Yes, she was. No way. You better pump your breaks. A billion dollars. You guys speak ill of Giselle. No, we're not speaking. Saying someone's not a billionaire is not speaking ill of them. Hey, I mean, you're not a billionaire. The internet says she's worth 400 million.
Starting point is 00:09:41 So maybe we were off. So not even close. Okay. But she was. Okay. But Jasele Bunchin made more money in her career than Tom Brady. Yeah, when you started saying. that and then Brady made more money. But also, not a billion
Starting point is 00:09:53 dollars. Also, it's funny to say you're worth $400 million you're not even close to a billion. Which is true. She's further away from a billion than she's closer to having no money. Than a billion. Billion dollars seems to be a lot of money. It sounds like Jazeal Bunyan might be broke. Close to being broke than a billionaire, for sure. But she did get divorced from Tom.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Put it on the poll at Levitard show. That's a good point, Billy. We don't know what. No one knows their pre-knit situation, right? There might have been a freedom. It could have been a situation where Tom said pre-nup and Giselle said I'll get my lawyers and that's that. So what's the pickle here? All right, so here's the pickle. Just so, you know, we cited the internet. Times of India says
Starting point is 00:10:29 Giselle's now worth more than Tom but also citing the divorce as to why. Yikes. All right, so here's the pickle. We would assume that the pre-nup would protect Taylor from losing, you know, half of her stuff or whatever it is. Should this marriage that hasn't happened yet? Should it not work out? Now, if you're Travis, I think you have some leverage here, right?
Starting point is 00:10:52 You say, you know what, Babe, or whatever he calls Taylor, you know what, babe, I would love to sign that pre-up. But included in that pre-up, I would like a stipulation. I will not get half of your stuff. However, should this not work out, there will be no love songs written about our relationship. And now Taylor needs to decide. I can make, I don't know if you know this. she's made a lot of money off of heartbreak. So, if this marriage does not work out,
Starting point is 00:11:21 she could make a ton of money off of this failed relationship. And she could potentially make more than half of the money she presently has at time of marriage. Can you imagine the Travis album? Calvin Harris did not like breaking up with her because he became art. So, if you're Taylor, you're in a pickle. Do I give up half of my stuff on the front end knowing I can make up more on the back end because of the heartbreak? or do I protect my assets now? That, my friends, is a pickle.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Follow me, if you will, Billy. What if Travis, rather than negotiate for no love songs about me, negotiates a percentage of all proceeds off of love songs about me. So you can do it, but in the words of EasyE, Dre Day only made Easy Pay Day, right? I'm just going to get richer as you make songs. about me. Wasn't Ed also saying
Starting point is 00:12:20 that Taylor Swift was getting a little antsy? Who was quoted as saying that That's Chaddy Ed That's So wait a minute
Starting point is 00:12:28 How are we feeling about that? How are we feeling about Chatty Ed? Not great. That's what I told you. Ed, shut up. Chatty Ed. I love how I said,
Starting point is 00:12:36 I love how I said follow me if you will and then nobody followed me. You're like, no, that's a bad idea. I mean, no. Why would he want to cut of that money?
Starting point is 00:12:42 No. I said if you will, we won't. I know. That's what I said. We're big on choices here. Look, every football game is a grind. And if you're like Dan and the crew, you know there's no such thing as one size fits all.

Starting point is 00:16:21 Stugats. Mike, are you doing something like this right now? I lost a lot of weight doing intermittent fasting and low carb, so now I'm getting back to it. But how much in that six to eight hour window, how much can you eat? Unlimited? If I could just eat unlimited, I'd do that. That'd be fun. For six to eight hours.
Starting point is 00:16:35 You can't eat unlimited. Try me. No, no, I mean. This is the Unlebatar show with the Stugats. You guys don't think it speaks as a symbol to our numbing love of nonsense that everyone would stop to talk about their love after a whole lot of people questioned that their love was real and now still question if their love is real, right? You're telling me. It sounds like Dan, you're the one questioning. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:05 We think it's a love story. Yeah, me too. I've always thought of the love story. I know Travis's way before Taylor and I saw the look in his eyes. Some change his haircut. That's not fake love. That's real love. Based off the flowers, she had to know it was coming, right?
Starting point is 00:17:19 Like, this had to be... I'm not saying that the love is real, but she knew she was getting proposed to, right? The professional photographer also is probably a hint. But it's just like she walks into this thing. Like, I just imagine her like, oh, I'm not getting proposed to here. This is just the most beautiful setting I've ever been in. It doesn't seem like... It doesn't seem like that's normally his yard, to Chris's point.
Starting point is 00:17:38 His yard probably doesn't have those floral arches around and all of those, you know, arrangements there. You guys are so ignorant. You think that there's not a professional photographer around Taylor Swift at all times. You think when she walks into any yard, they haven't already staged it. Everything she does is a production. Why would it just be a regular yard all of a sudden? If anything, if he had done it in a regular looking yard, that would have thrown up like some alarm. Imagine if he just did it at like chilies. Yeah. That would have smacked. That would have been awesome. I would have been like, now that's how That is Tilly.
Starting point is 00:18:13 That is Tilly's. Babe, two for 25. What do we think? Right. Like ride the Dante. Be humble with it. The baby back ribs are coming right around that corner. That is Tilly's.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Levitard show. Bigger star, Freddie Fitz or Jonathan Zaslow. Because I feel like we now have beef at ESPN Radio where Zaslo is saying he's a bigger star than Freddie Fits. Isn't that what's being claimed? Well, it's not a person. It's not a real person. It's the problem. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Well, but it's not a real person, but it is a real person. That's the thing. That's the thing. It is a real person, but now we've put Zaslow in a bad spot. So I should probably back away from the poll. Do you guys think, because I think this is the thing, Zaz, you might follow me on this. I mean, you might follow me on this. I mean, follow us.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Do you guys think, like, I know there's always, like, talk about the ring afterwards amongst, you know, the friends, the cows. I was expecting more. Look at the ring. What do you think? And I'm sure that oftentimes, I shouldn't say oftentimes, but I'm sure sometimes the person who was proposed to, the friends are like, ooh, like that's, yeah, that's nice, but they're like, like, don't mean it.
Starting point is 00:19:21 And then, like, the person who has the ring on is like, yeah, it's the best that he could do, you know, like he tried, whatever. You think that's a situation with Taylor where it's like, yeah, this is like a seven-carat dime. It's like, yeah, but, you know, he's just a tight end. It's all he could really do for me. You know, he loves me, though. I'll accept this ring.
Starting point is 00:19:37 I was underwhelmed by it, I'm being honest. It's so big. I know the rock's big, but I just, I like a little, I like a little glitz. Yeah, but look, Ronaldo changed the game in terms of rings. Like, he proposed with a Super Bowl ring not too long ago. Yeah, to me, the Ronaldo one much better. Are these, are these the same hands? No.
Starting point is 00:19:54 No, they're different rings. On the left is Taylor Swift. On the right is Rinaldo's. I understand why you look at, though. They look identical. One is yours, one is L. Okay, all right. No, I like this.
Starting point is 00:20:06 This is classy. That's what it is. Classy. That's why they did it at the Chili's, as opposed to the Taj Mahal. Okay, so you guys are unimpressed, but you don't know anything about, I don't either, by the way. I don't know anything about diamonds. The one Ronaldo got is giant, but that seems like I understand that the worth of it is something that people would want,
Starting point is 00:20:24 but it looks ridiculous. It looks like one of those championship rings that David Sampson wears that is bigger than three-fourths of his finger. I've got to tell you, what's the old adage? It needs to be two months' worth of salary? What? The engagement ring. So expensive. I think that Travis went on the cheap here.
Starting point is 00:20:41 That's what I'm saying. And then people are questioning her, you know, whoever's in her life, her circles, Selena Gomez, whatever. And Selena's also engaged, I believe. So now they're comparing rings and you're not going to be done up by Benny Blanco, Dan. Come on. He's on his bachelor trip. I've heard.
Starting point is 00:20:56 He went to Vegas. Yeah. I notice we didn't see photos from that, but we saw plenty photos of Selena on her bachelorette trip. Dan, your thoughts. You guys are so Miami. Always going for the gar. over the top, make it bigger, make more diamonds.
Starting point is 00:21:12 This is class. This is sophistication. This is a subtle nod to, oh, this is of value, but we're not going over the top. If you know, you know. And that's how Travis has always been, because I've known him for a long time since way before Taylor Swift. There's nothing subtle about either of those rings, just to be clear. Is two months indeed the rule? I did not know that as a rule. I was not familiar with what sounds right. It sounds right. So you guys just are saying it sounds right two months of salary on a ring it's a marketing it was a marketing employed by the de beers company that owns 90% of the world's diamond supply so they're just like two months of salary just so they could artificially inflate prices feels like a lot two months
Starting point is 00:21:52 i mean is it pre-tax or post-tax two months also yeah we talk gross or net yeah good questions as put it on the poll at levittard show uh is it gross or net are you thinking back to what yours cost dan like did i overpaid Did I underpay? Well, I'm actually trying to think back to what rule I was trying to figure out because I couldn't, I didn't know how to do it. So I just, like, I had to ask around to get expertise from people because I didn't have any idea what I was doing. You guys did? Mike? Mike, get me a ring for my wife. You got, you. Okay, so you guys knew how to do all of that. You guys, okay, show me experts in romance. It's usually a conversation you have at some point about like, what would you be into? What would it kind of look like? And you get ideas. can't just leave it up to Travis Kelsey to figure out what Taylor Swift is going to like in her ring. She for sure picked that out. She definitely told him exactly what she wants. Two months salary of Travis Kelsey is $2.8 million. I'm seeing the national average is between $5,500 and $6,000 on an engagement ring. Hold on though, Mike. You're not including the podcast. You're just, you're not including endorsements.
Starting point is 00:23:03 You're not including Happy Gilmore. You're not included. Travis Kelsey's salary of two months is much, His football salary, it might be small compared to the endorsement. I think by percentage of income, Travis Kelsey went on the cheap here with this ring. That's what I'm kind of thinking may have happened here. I think all of our significant others have by percentage, more impressive rings. Hmm. Congratulations. Put it on the poll, please. Jujat Lebitard show.
Starting point is 00:23:31 I can't believe we're saying this. Did Travis Kelsey go cheap on the ring? It's unbelievable that you guys. guys are doing this. I've also heard that like super rich like rings like those two rings probably right. I think they then make like replicas of them and like that ring is probably hardly ever going to be worn. That's going to be like in a vault somewhere. What's the point? And then you wear one with a fake diamond that's identical in size and that way if you get mugged or whatever, you lose it while you're scuba diving or whatever happened in Kim Kardashian's earring. She's like in the Maldives and it falls off
Starting point is 00:24:01 when she jumps off of the thing. Like then you just lose a fake one that's also equally expensive, well not equally, but also expensive, but not as expensive. I don't know. She definitely has insurance. Yeah, it's why you get insurance. And designers probably foaming at the mouth to be put on that paw. So they probably got a deal on that ring. Man, this is crazy. Yeah. I bet you he spent like maybe seven grand.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Maybe. I bet you got paid to do it. I'll do an Instagram post for you. How nervous do you think friends are? Like, if you're a friend with Travis Kelsey, but you're not like the close, you're not a best friend, but you're close enough to wonder are you going to make the cut for the wedding because you want to be at that wedding that's a that's a that's a position i'm in right now i'm trying to figure out whether i'm going to make the cut or not i feel like as someone who's well i mean i've been there i've been loyal i've been there since before everything so well call them right now let's congratulate them since you're so close
Starting point is 00:24:54 well i can't because i use my phone as my camera what would you get them as a gift that's a tough wedding gift to get oh no the registry i just go off the registry man don't try to be funny Like a yacht on their registry Wait, you guys think that that's what they would go with? These two people would just go registry? Yeah, like Craydon Barrow, Target, Macy's... I'm just picturing them walking around Target. Yeah, I could see her walking around like...
Starting point is 00:25:17 Exactly, yeah. You think Rashi Rice is going to go to the wedding, Zaz? Whoa. Are you asking me if he's going to go or be invited? Invited. I'm going, no. Really? He might be suspended for it.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Xavier worthy? No. Oof. So wait, you guys are saying that he can't invite all his chief's teammates. He has to have the awkwardness of, okay, six of you can come. Yeah. No, it's probably like a dozen or so. Spags.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Really? You guys. It's not even his coordinator. That's what I'm saying. Then, if it comes down to Isaiah Pacheco or me, I mean, there's just hard decisions. Wait, but so you guys, explain to me the awkwardness in the locker room when Travis Kelsey stops at nine. Yeah, like, that's a good one. They're guys in that locker.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Like, man, I hope I get to go. That's going to be a fun wedding. But nope. You didn't make the cut. That's going to happen. You think, though? You think Budger makes it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:09 They're friends, I think. I think a raise is not going to be at that wedding. Taylor Swift probably doesn't like him so much. I don't know about that. Harrison's probably an interesting conversation between them, too. I think that you could hide him in the invites, right? I don't think Taylor's going to notice if Harrison is there. Maybe when he, you know, tells all the women get off the dance floor.
Starting point is 00:26:26 It's time for the men to dance. But Taylor's got to have some right-leaning family members. Is that what you have happening? I don't have happening. Wait a minute Now this is going to be a thing I just was a joke Now this is going to be a thing
Starting point is 00:26:41 Consequences I want to be clear I want to be He doesn't like being married to his takes I want to just like to Josh around You know No I but okay so Noah Gray you think he'll be there
Starting point is 00:26:53 Same position Yeah position room I think all the tight ends go Everybody in that room We have moved on Creed Humphrey Every single person in that room The starting lineman, I think, can go. McCreed Humphrey's a center.
Starting point is 00:27:06 How about former teammates? That's a great question. Don't go back to the other stuff. Tony Gonzalez. Tyreek? No. No, Tyreeks? Not getting that.
Starting point is 00:27:13 No, probably not Tyree. I think Nick Wright tries to see where he fits in. Wow. He's my plus one. Nick might go. He might. Invited or not, he'll be there. Do you think this is going to be the biggest wedding of our lifetimes?
Starting point is 00:27:27 It's our royal wedding, obviously. What was our previous royal wedding? What is second place on the celebrity? Kim and Chris Humphreys? I'm still... We don't need to go back to anything that's happened in the past. We're moving along. You know which one I'm excited for if it happens?
Starting point is 00:27:45 Adel and Rich Paul. Oh. That already happened. Did it? They're married. Huh? I mean, you get invited? So you weren't that interested.
Starting point is 00:27:53 Come on, man. Where are you at? Wow. What did that happen? Clearly not that interested. Clearly and obviously, you guys. you can't wait for that to happen but you did wait you didn't even notice you don't
Starting point is 00:28:06 care. Cudos to them. We kept that one pretty secret. Not really. I got to hear that they're just engaged. Did LeBron give a speech? She was engaged in a concert August 24. They're not married, I mean. Yeah, I don't see it. Unless he knows that they're secretly
Starting point is 00:28:24 married and just blew up the spot. Like Greg Cody. Because he's in league circles. So, Billy, just to be clear. I don't know what we need to be clear about. We're talking about Adela and Rich Paul right now. Keep off, Dan. Let's move that. You've got Travis Kelsey going into
Starting point is 00:28:46 the locker room and everyone wants to go and he has to say in private, in front of everybody, only eight of you are going to be invited. Usually when you give these kind of speeches, it's that guy's budget. We just don't have
Starting point is 00:29:02 room like what's he going to say but he's going to be able to say like i saved a bunch of money on that ring i mean the internet is saying they're not married so either you screwed up or you were wrong you need to clarify those are the same thing no no no if i won't he might have screwed up and revealed something that is known inside NBA league circles that the rest of the people don't because any any internet would not corroborate this story he's not a journalist though i mean doesn't uh right jim i mean does not uh saslo's the only journalist we have around here, right? Amin broke a giant FBI story, like a couple weeks.
Starting point is 00:29:36 I think you might have been gone when he did that. He broke that story about the heat heist across the street. Yeah, I did do that. He's also been on Pablo Tori finds out, and the Malik Beasley story has had some developments that I was wanting your expertise on, but if we could
Starting point is 00:29:52 just go back to the wedding for a second. Are Adele and Rich Paul married, or did you just get that wrong? So this is what I have Travis Kelsey doing, is standing up in front the middle of locker room and saying to everybody look only eight guys can go and i know what you're thinking oh did i make that i meant not make it but this is a football team we're a meritocracy so what we're going to do is have a competition for it and then the cameras come out and it's on an
Starting point is 00:30:17 amazon prime show and who gets to be in Travis kelsey's wedding and then we have like week by week and people vote until we have a final ceremony and he's handing out what are those things called what they button on to the thing that the groomsmen wear one of those things and if you're If you get one of those, you get to go to the wedding. How mad is Clutch Sports going to be when they find out you revealed that Rich Paul's married? I don't know what you guys are talking about. LeBron did post mysterious photos from what appeared to be a wedding. With Kevin Love.
Starting point is 00:30:47 And he was there with Kevin Love and they were golfing. But he never said whose wedding it was. I'm like, wow, did Rich Paul and Adele secretly get married? I just kept on living my life. And now it seems as though a me and found out. I did not. That's Pablo's show. He finds out.
Starting point is 00:31:04 By the way, I recorded an episode of Pablo Torrey finds out that comes out, I believe, in about a week and a half. Spoil it. What'd you say? It's a beast. It's about Adele being married to Rich Paul. It is, it would, it's going to be a massive, massive. It's one of those things where, you know, how everyone was like, oh, my God, Pablo did it again when the NFL thing and the Beasley thing. No, this is the biggest one.
Starting point is 00:31:26 This is the biggest one. This is the biggest one. This is the biggest one by far. This is way bigger than Bill Belichick, everything. Is this the September 4th one he keeps teasing? Yeah, he's got a giant one in the holster. He just went on vacation. Pablo's doing this so casually that he's going to drop a Pablo at the top of September
Starting point is 00:31:42 that's going to be bigger than all the other Pablo's, by a good amount. Drop a Pablo is an interesting way to phrase it. We're also raising the bar on expectations here because the shuttle butt out there is that Pablo's revealing the Epstein list. That's what people think is going to happen. And I don't think, I mean, unless Amin has a reason, to be on that episode, I don't think that's what's going to happen on a means episode. Pablo might have friends
Starting point is 00:32:05 on the list, who knows? A lot of innocent people. It's also a bad place where that's the bar for Pablo now. It's like, oh, you don't have the Epstein list? Luser. It's Rona Week. Now until Wednesday. You hear that? That's the sound of your summer getting a second

Starting point is 00:36:56 Then rapping the interview by asking him to write the foreword. Danny, the Stugats is very strong in you. Him and his co-author, Ben Kaplan, are on Basketball Illuminati this week, wherever you get podcasts. They wrote this book,
Starting point is 00:37:11 Pipeline to the Pros. It's really good. Spencer Rattler. Starting at QB, Week 1 for the Saints over Tyler Shuck. Man, man. Who cares? Who cares?
Starting point is 00:37:23 Say that again to people. Like, that, how, I am so sorry, New Orleans Saints fans. Like, I'm just, you're in salary cap hell and Spencer Rattler just won your quarterback competition. Good God. Also, Tyler Shuck, spell your name right or pronounce it right? One of the two.
Starting point is 00:37:41 How does he spell it? He spells it S-H-O-U-G-H, but I have to Google how you say it. You say it Shuck. I was like, is it a Shuff or Show? And they're like, Shuck. And I'm like, no. No. Georgia Tech Safety, LaMiles, Brooks Powell Lee.
Starting point is 00:37:58 What you say? saying about Colorado quote I know they bring out celebrities they do all this crazy stuff but we're playing football winner really
Starting point is 00:38:10 but also Georgia Tech is bringing out some celebrities of their own man me oh come on I'm the celebrities are you the biggest celebrity are you the biggest celebrity
Starting point is 00:38:21 fan that Georgia Tech football has I'm the biggest non-athlete celebrity fan that Georgia Tech has they have obviously guys like Megatron and stuff like that They don't count. I'm the real celebrity.
Starting point is 00:38:32 I have to make myself. I didn't do it by just playing a sport. Get out of here. Jeff Foxworthy. He didn't go to tech, man. I don't believe it. What do you mean? You can't just, what?
Starting point is 00:38:43 I don't believe it. Show me your transcripts. What do you do? Why are you doing that to Jeff Foxworthy? Show me your transcripts, Jeff Foxworthy? It's a hard school, man. You get through it with you might be a redneck. That's not getting it.
Starting point is 00:38:59 The job done. All right, put it on the poll. Is you might be a redneck getting the job done at Georgia Tech? No child. If he did, he went to like the school of management or something like that. Graduated 1979. It wasn't even an institute back then. It was called like something, Cumberland College or some shit like that.
Starting point is 00:39:23 I don't know. Didn't realize we were gaykeeping at Georgia Tech. We are, always. If he didn't have to do CS-15-01, he didn't go to tech. How about that? Oh, wait, he never graduated. I see that here. He left before graduating in 1979.
Starting point is 00:39:40 There you go. Well, wait a minute. That changes the discussion entirely. Then does Amin go right back to being the most famous graduate non-athlete division at Georgia Tech? Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter didn't go. He got like a graduate degree. That doesn't count.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Peanut Farmer. Again, if you didn't take CS-501, Don't talk to me about going to tech. 1972, 1982, CS 1501. The Widowmakers, what they call that. These fools think it's
Starting point is 00:40:15 easy as an engineering school to get an institute. When did Georgia Tech become an institute that was famous for we bring some of the best engineers through here? The Widowmaker? Tell me more about
Starting point is 00:40:29 this class. Okay, so Dan, so at regular engineering schools in the country, they're like, okay, you need to learn how to program. You need to have code. So what do we do? C++, Java, whatever the language was at the time, right, Python now or whatever. At Georgia Tech, they were like, that's too easy. We're going to invent our own coding language. So that way people can't cheat. But then you say, well, what if they cheat off of one another? Well, they had this thing way before they were AI checkers and shit like that, they had a program that ran your code against everyone else's code,
Starting point is 00:41:04 not only in your section, not only in your class, but everyone who's taken the class in the prior three years. And if it hit a similarity score of above a certain percentage, you automatically got an F. Now here's the part that is really cruel. They wouldn't tell you. They would let you go the entire semester like a dumbass,
Starting point is 00:41:22 thinking, oh, I'm getting good grades and stuff. And at the end of it, You get your semester end grade, and it would be an athlete. Like, what happened? Like, oh, yeah, you failed the cheat finder. That's the Georgia Tech I went to, not peanut farming, and you might be a redneck. Highly educated, but still not smart enough to not blow up a dull spot. Good trouble, dog.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Jimmy Carter spent one year at Georgia Tech before transferring to the Naval Academy. Exactly. He was like Navy reserves at Georgia. Coward. I went to MDC. I enjoyed the Navy. that's you know what it's easier than georgia tech put it on the poll at levittar show
Starting point is 00:42:00 is the navy easier than georgia tech amean you went to school with harrison butker did you go to georgia tech that's what the internet says but they've been wrong about everyone else so far he didn't take he did take s 1501 i mean the internet told us earlier that rich paul and adele weren't married but to be fair there are also not a whole lot of women at georgia tech so maybe harrison Bucker did go there.
Starting point is 00:42:26 I mean, are you trying to tell me you're more famous than Roman Reins? Roman Raines is an athlete. He's an athlete. He played on the football team. He doesn't count. Keep up, Zaslow. Man, I mean,'s kicking ass.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Bigger star, Freddie Fitz or Jonathan Zaslo? At Levitard Show. What do you do when you think someone has blocked you? But you never had a negative interaction with them?
