Welcome to the Big Sui presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBattard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries. If they're just there, that hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it.

And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face and the habitual liar. This episode is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Happy to report, it seems I was right about Drew Carey being a sex freak. Now, he has never confirmed himself, but he is the subject of a lot of internet conjecture

and Reddit posts about real-life sex tales, even rumors of a sex dungeon. The fact remains that there is a lot of internet conjecture and Reddit post about real life sex dolls, even rumors of a sex dungeon. The fact remains that there's a lot of hullabaloo surrounding Drew Carey and his private life. I love when Mike's right about sex fiends. Ohio! That's a safe word. That's my first time seeing that David Sampson ad.

It really is something. How many studio shot pictures does he have of himself in an ugly jacket? Cuz that's all I can are they are they digitally imposing different designs on it No, I think I was probably an entire photo shoot fashion She brought all his damn flashes jackets And then can we maybe put it bottom right on mute and I'll count while it's going and I'll report back Yes, please you guys put that up in mute Maybe put it bottom right on mute and I'll count while it's going and then I'll report back. Yes please. Why don't you guys put that up and mute.

And don't count the old ugly shirts and stuff that he was wearing with the model. We're just talking about the stuff, they are like those things, there you go. I've already seen three. I didn't even get, we didn't get like the 30 seconds in. It's the face for me. He's definitely doing model face

in every single one of those. You think David Samson wishes he was on Shark Tank, but not like as someone pitching as like one of the sharks? I try not to think of what David Samson thinks of. Why is it when he says that, you know, there are baseball players who can learn a thing or two about money and it shows Shohei Otani and Pudge Rodriguez. Well, Pudge went bankrupt, right? And Shohei, because, well, his interpreter was out there, like, putting bets. Okay, all right. I thought maybe it was with Pudge

because he left the team, you know, they didn't wanna, they wanted to keep him, but he left for more money, I don't know. Seven or eight seems to be my number. There might have been a double in there, a duplicate in there, so seven or eight. Did you count that white one there at the end? Yeah, oh at the end!

All right, now we got a full eight. Or did it restart? Get rid of it, guys. I'm told you. It might be nine, actually. We just needed you to count, Chris. That's what he does best. I'm a journalist.

He doesn't stop counting, that's the problem with him. He started counting, he's amazing. The instructions were not specific enough. I don't know if you guys saw this story over the weekend. Don Van Natta reported that. Great teeth. Great teeth? Teeth.

Shout out to Don Van Natta's teeth. A bunch of NFL players, over 100, been caught selling their Super Bowl tickets for above face value, which of course is against the bylaws, the reason why you get those tickets. That's the Mike Tice scam. Mike Tice with Minnesota, right? Yeah, same thing.

And there are some coaches too. They didn't say how many coaches, but there was a large number of these people who were selling them for above face value. And the punishment that they're offering is, you have to pay back 1.5 times the face value of the tickets that you sold, and you don't get tickets for the next two Super Bowls. And I'm like, that ain't no punishment, but more interestingly.

Why should it be punished? Well, you're not supposed to. You're getting these tickets as a perk. No, I get that, but who loses in that situation? I mean, the person who, what, are you expected to be sitting next to an NFL player at the Super Bowl? Because if I get the ticket and I go to the game, great. If I get the ticket and I make profit from it

and somebody else goes to the game, also great. The idea is that the NFL is giving them these tickets either comp or discounted. And so if it were just gonna be sold, hell, we could have sold it ourselves. Instead, you went out and made a profit, took advantage of what was a nice little perk for you or family members or friends or clients or whatever.

But again, the punishment is you have to pay back 1.5 times the face value of the tickets you sold or else get suspended. And this is the part that blew my mind. I said, well, surely all 100 guys said, all right, you got me, my bad. There are guys who are fighting this. There are guys who have yet to accept the punishment.

But when you've, okay so 1.5 times, let's say the ticket's worth $1,000, so you gotta pay back $1,500. You definitely sold it for more than $1,500. $1,500, right? And you're going to, you've missed two more Super Bowls in terms of these types of cost. They clearly don't wanna go anyway.

Right, so it's like. They're not even punished. If their team makes a Super Bowl, they can buy tickets. It's only two Super Bowls if your team doesn't get it. And then the weird thing, I mean, I don't know if you saw this in the story, is that the players that did this have to pay back 1.5, but the non-players that did this

have to pay back double face values. So like the people that make less money have to pay back more money. How many giveaways do they give away? Like every player in the league has the potential for two and every coach in the league has the potential. That seems like a lot of tickets. It's a lot of tickets.

I don't think it's. I think like obviously you can turn them down, right? You don't have to be in that position. And by the way, the other part of this is anyone who's gotten comp tickets, you've gotten comp tickets, that's taxable income. Even if you didn't pay a dime for it. As an employee, if you get comp tickets,

you get tax on it, so you actually see it come out of your check. I remember when I worked for the Suns, I had season tickets, and I remember every kind of couple of weeks when we had a lot of home games in the prior pay period, I look at my paycheck, I'm like, what the hell is this? And it's like, oh yeah, we preemptively take the tax out.

So in a way, you are getting charged for them. Well yeah, I mean. Just not as much, you're just getting charged the tax. And then you can get it back by saying, I use it for entertainment, for client, for business purposes, whatever, but the point is, you do get a hit in your pocket. And so there are a lot of guys who don't want it,

who turn it down, their guys don't turn it down because they don't want to have to deal with that. Sounds like more trouble than it's worth like I can't imagine NFL guys are dying to go to a Super Bowl where no other teams are playing it's not their team nobody's nobody I don't think anybody wants to give them away. They give them away. It's like you got an uncle like come on nephew Let me get in like here you go or whatever Hey, by the way, you got me on that that flight the hotel too, because it's kind of pricey going to the Super Bowl. Could you imagine like you turn, you're like, you go to the game,

you're all excited, it's like, oh, TJ Watt is sitting next to you. Yeah. Like, this happened. He comes back with like the big tub of popcorn and like two beers, and then he spills a little, oh. Football players, like the worst people to probably sit in stadium sitting next to, right?

Like imagine, like you go, you buy this ticket on StubHub or whatever, like this is amazing. It's like, oh, but like this is the Arizona Cardinals offensive line section and they all decided to come this year. And you're sitting in between two guys. Yeah, your center. And they're man spreading, right?

You will get to chug a beer at one point though when the screen gets on you, everyone stands up, that's what offensive linemen do, right? That's man spreading. Man spreading is like when you sit down, you know there's some people who sit down and it's like. Need my boys to breathe. I do it. Yeah, they spread their.

I'm a big man spreader. As wide as possible. I mean me too, but. You do that? No. Oh, man. I'm just like, I will be in public sometimes and be like, oh no, I'm man-spreading too much right now.

I gotta tighten up. Wait, you're gay? Yeah, Christ. You gotta slow down there, Chris. There's a lot going on. That's what I say to myself when my legs get too wide. You gotta slow down there Chris, there's a lot going on. That's what I say to myself when my legs get too wide. Moving on. Tighten up.

I'm fine with it. So there's another scandal of brewing by the way. Like, back to the brewers. The NFLPA stuff that Pablo has now triggered, basically a federal investigation. Yeah, felonious behavior apparently. Yeah. This is crazy. Summer of Pablo, man.

The summer of Pablo. But like this one might be the biggest one. Even though I think I want the Beasley one to be the biggest one because we put in a lot of work on that episode. But what's crazy was the initial response to this was like wow this could be really big and then three days later it was like a random arbiter screwed up and they were like the reaction was it totally defused the impact of this story and it kind of died

down and the general response after it came back from the arbiter that was a clerical error was wow this is a big nothing burger so much for the hype and then little did we know about a month later we're talking about felonious behavior there's been alleged felonious behavior there's been two big-time resignations the NFLPA is in all sorts of uproar right now there's a massive massive story one of the bigger sports stories of the year from an investigation news standpoint yeah, I mean it just it as When does just sit in my ear

Anytime the FBI calls you have to you have to like even if you're like I didn't do anything like there's got to be a Little shit shit and bricks right can I just tell you something that bothers me? What's what bothers you? So we watch you know you say now anytime the FBI calls. Yeah, you're shitting bricks like you got to take it serious We're big law and order SVU people in my house my wife And I we watch mean who isn't what a great go on what a great show. Hey, that's my gimmick and Whenever the detectives show up, and they talk to the random street worker. They're so goddamn calm. They're just they're doing their work.

They don't stop doing their job. It's a law and order staple across all the law and order. They're telling you about a murder and they don't even still putting up the fruit, you know, the bodega. These packages aren't going to unload themselves. It's crazy. It's so nonchalant. You seem extra guilty when you just keep about

going about your business they're telling you about these disgusting crimes they're so not shook with the murder investigation that the detectives are talking to them about they can't even look them in the eye while they're talking you know what you guys sound like you sound like out of town country bumpkins this happens all the time New York City I gotta unload these boxes my boss is gonna be on my ass. Yeah, I saw the guy come in the other night Hey, you act a little weird, but I think any of it's a weird city The bartender is still making drinks while he's talking Oh, yeah, I get details about the girl who may have been raped the last night. Yeah, I would be like

Let me step away for this one Let me give you my full attention Find the guy Let me step away for this one. Let me give you my full attention Did you happen to see the gentleman who was walking around with his penis out dragging a dead body Yeah, I mean like it happened so quick. It was at night, but I've seen a lot of weird things in this neighborhood You know I'm here 25 years. That's not the first time you've seen exactly what I described to you. No no It's a weird neighborhood. What are you twisting? I'm polishing the glasses and putting them up.

He's working. I'm working, I'm doing my job. It's cool you don't take a glass off and twist it, like it looked like you were twisting something open. On the towel. He's cleaning the top of it. Nah, there you go. Come on.

It's crazy, Mike. No, you're right, I think it means on. He's on it. It's New York City, like I'm busy, man. You're taking time out of my day to talk about some shit that I'm busy, man. You're taking time out of my day to talk about some shit that I didn't even do. Now, if I stopped, I knew he shouldn't have done that.

I told him to stop messing with that girl. Those are the guys. People around you think that you're the one being investigated, or just like, if I'm just going about my business, then I'm just answering simple questions to these police officers. Don't raise any red flags, man.

This is the Don Lebatard Show with the Stugats. That's Speaking of red flags, I'm ready to break some news. So there is another federal investigation going on right now about the sale of ill-gotten memorabilia. Oh, I thought you were gonna talk about the other federal investigation that's going on. What's that? Check your threads out. It's a big deal apparently. Well, I'll get to it.

But this one concerns memorabilia, authenticated memorabilia, stolen from the Miami Heat. Oh, really? And sold for many, many, many, many, many millions of dollars. Perhaps one of the largest heists of this kind. So it's definitely a Wade and LeBron memorabilia, not Jimmy Butler memorabilia.

It's not a Duncan Robinson three-point shootout, a game-worn jersey, but yeah, game-worn stuff that's been stolen and sold for at least 18 months? Something like that. Like this is- Inside job? So I did some reporting. Uh oh. I talked to some sources.

A mean finds out. A mean finds out, there you go. And sources within the memorabilia community. And apparently- Your memorabilia friends? No, this isn't a math friends type situation like Dan. No, this is me doing, I got a hot tip. Okay.

And I talked to some people in the memorabilia community and apparently, we're talking about game worn stuff from... Duncan Robinson. Yeah. From game worn, let me put this, game worn, well, I guess this still doesn't clarify, game worn finals stuff. And this person was taking them and selling them

both within the regular market and within the black market. Not that kind of black market. Sorry, Roy. Make sure. But what red flagged it within the memorabilia community is you never see people with this much stuff, right? You might get a game worn jersey, but to get like a game worn full set,

NBA finals? Hmm. For multiple players? How much money is this person gaining, would you say? As it was described to me, this is one of the largest, if not the largest, memorabilia heists in the history of this country, in any sport. Beyond that, there's also, some of the people involved

include a police officer, a Miami police officer, and someone with ties to the NBA. So are you investigating this and you have listed the suspects yourself? Like this is you doing this? Or you have found out that these are the people who are involved? I have found out that these are the people who are involved. I have found out that these are the people involved.

There's a federal investigation happening, and any day now, the feds are going to announce. Wow. Like this thing is happening. Is this going to be just like a person or multiple individuals just arrested and announced it there, or is it some sort of? I don't know.

They're trying to have like an autumn of amine? Like tipping people off? Some are Pablo, some are Pablo, Summer of Pablo then Autumn of Amin? Am I tipping people off? I don't know. Now that I think about it, you're right. Holy shit. It seems like maybe you're gonna be pulled in

for questioning now, like, why are you telling people what we're up to? Well, I mean, I feel like this is newsworthy. I don't know if you've heard what happens to snitches. Well, you're gonna hurt. You know what? I'm gonna fight, what was it, the First Amendment? You're the journalist. Journalism journalists journalism what journals protected which amendment is

it protected by all of them yeah there you go I'm an all amendment kind of guy and I and they'll say hey me who's your source how'd you find out you know what I'll say I cannot divulge my sources at this time that'll be the fifth amendment I call bullshit on that you're not going to jail to not someone you just snitch for free. I'm not, I'm what? You just told us that a bunch of people across the street are about to get arrested by the feds for free.

If someone comes and says, where'd you hear that from or you're going to jail, you're going to sing like a canary. I didn't say there was anybody from across the street. Heavily implied that. You know what a squealer looks like. That's what you're saying. Mm-hmm. You guys got me getting on the stand and singing.

Remember that time he came in with a busted lip and said he fell in the street? Yeah. I think you guys ass kicked. Squealing all the time. Did I squeal? Probably. Did I tell who did it?

No, I made up a story. You're not a jail guy. I don't mean that as an insult. We've had this conversation, none taken, number one. Number insult. We've had this conversation. None taken, number one. Number two, we've had this conversation. If I go to jail, it's going to be one of two things. Either I'm going to get put into solitary confinement,

which is my selection. I'll do solitary confinement. You're allowed to just choose to be in solitary confinement. Yeah, you go in and they ask you a check-in. Instead of Jem Pop? Yeah. Nobody wants to be in solitary confinement, I'm doing them a favor. Hey man, separate me from everybody.

It's less of a headache. I just remembered my favorite Happy Gilmore 2 joke. Should I say it? Yeah, sure, go ahead. That's what she said. Hold on, spoiler alert for those people. For those people who don't wanna get spoiled on Happy Gilmore 2, the whodunit of the century.

All right, it was when Scottie Sheffield was getting arrested and he said, not again. That was hilarious. That was good. I said he was good and you're like, he was fine for a golfer. It was bad acting, but it was a good line. He was the funniest of the pro golfers.

I was waiting for Jeff Darlington to show up, but I guess he's not friends with Adam Sandler. Would that have been funny? That would have been funny? That would have been a deep cut. So you're gonna request late check out solitary confinement when you go to jail? I mean, it's not hard. No one wants to do it.

By the way, when I say solitary confinement, I don't mean the hole. I don't mean the one where you're naked and it's dark. I'm talking about the one where it's just a bed and a tiny window. With a balcony, yeah. Special solitary confinement. And you don't in this dark room. I'm talking about the one where it's just a bed and a tiny like window. With a balcony, yeah. Special solitary confinement. And you don't get any yard time.

No yard time, don't need it. Everything in my room. This just sounds like a New York hotel. There you go. I do solitary confinement on my head. I do 10 years solitary confinement before I do a month in regular prison. Straight up.

I would do so poorly in prison. I do hope this whole audio gets subpoenaed by the feds. And with you just volunteering, I would be happy to do 10 years in solitary. I'll do 10 years, no problem. Do you think you're a journalist? Me? Yeah. No.

So you're gonna go to jail for journalistic integrity when you're not even a journalist? That's stupid. Well, the integrity part is the important part to me Billy. I'm a man of me not going to jail. So you'd sing I Mean, I wouldn't have come out here saying I know all these secrets So now that's leading to people coming and asking me questions Let it be known I don't say anything and then people don't know what I know to ask me about Billy Gill Tripper I'm not a tripper. You're the one out here. I don't know if you're chasing clout or what you're doing jealous Apollo over

here I know secrets to one about NBA secrets I know about all these federal investigations I'm not gonna tell you about him you got I know what was sold I'm not gonna tell you hold on hold on I didn't I told you what was sold mmm I told you this very much sounds like an inside job before you're saying is true there's no way that they would just have access to all of this stuff, and they could just take all of it without anyone knowing. Well, he said one of them is connected, one of the people are connected to the NBA.

I mean, that feels like it's an inside job. I don't think I'd read this story. If I saw the headline on the ESPN stack, Youth memorabilia stolen by member of organization, eh, I'd pass. That's a bad start to the autumn of a meme. I don't know, I don't, yeah, really. I don't know, I don't know, yeah. I don't know if that would be the headline.

The headline is largest memorabilia heist in the history of the country. That's the headline, right? Someone selling millions of dollars. Maybe I'll read the first paragraph. It needs to be juicier. Juicier headline, yeah. I need a name.

Billy Gill. It's Bill Belichick. Billy Gill. Pablo's headlines haven't done it for me. I'm just like, oh, okay. What? I'll figure it out. You'll figure it out.

Yeah, I'll figure it out. Yeah, someone did this, someone did that, Belichick this, Jordan that, I got it. Jordan. Yeah. By the way, I think, I'm not sure, but I think the Malik Beasley story might have overtaken the whole Belichick-Jordan thing,

which is a pretty impressive thing. The Real Journalism took over for the Tabloid Journalism. We're tired today. Like, Bill Belichick justJordan thing, which is a pretty impressive thing. The real journalism took over for the tabloid journalism. We're tired today. Bill Belichick just very quietly was there, ACC media day, no one knows anything he said. No one really cared that Bill Belichick was there, ACC media day, he was just doing his boring old Bill stuff. There must have been mandates on not asking him

because I thought there would have been at least one clip of like. No, there were questions and he kept repeating, this is not, it's overblown, it's not, has not been a distraction whatsoever. Masterclass. No, the media was all over him throughout the week, like it was a massive scene there,

but he did the old, you know, like, I'm giving you nothing and I'm super boring. You mentioned media availability, and a couple of weeks ago, I uh... mention on the air that i saw people media day in dion sanders did not look good he did not look well he was sweating on the dais it was concerning because there'd been rumors about his health and he looked like in rough shape in today

at eleven a m mountain time there is a press conference and he posted a video in which he was emotional saying that he just drawn drawn up a will, it seems as though Coach Prime is stepping away. Wait a second. Are you being serious? Do you think that in a couple hours he's stepping down? Yeah, it seems that way. There have been rumors about his health,

he has not looked good, he's had some health problems that have been well documented before. The video that I saw, I played the audio for some of you over there in the bullpen about how, I mean this is a man that's like, he's saying he's drawing up a will, so this is a man that is dealing with some mortality issues. That's kinda wild.

That is, like there's a difference. He doesn't have a will already? There's a difference, well that too, but also. Revised. There's a difference. What's the age that you gotta say, hey I'm gonna put together a will? It's supposed to do it now, right?

The day you got enough money to hand down, because you can die anyway. Oh, nevermind that. David Sands made sure of that. What is the amount of money that's quote, enough to hand down? Like where you're not embarrassed when they read your will? What the shit?

$600 goes to the lovely. I got about $9,400. Handing my kids bills. You got the direct TV from now on. You, you got the internet. Great question. What is the amount of money to not be embarrassed in death that you are handing down? You got the direct TV from now on. You, you got the internet. Great question. What is the amount of money to not be embarrassed in death

that you are handing down? This is a direct quote by the way from Coach Prime from the video that he released. Yesterday was tough because I had to make a will. It's not easy at all to think you may not be here. This was released in advance of today's press conference that is happening in just a couple hours. You said 11 a.m. Mountain Time?

I don't know what that means. At 1 p.m. He's two hours behind, I believe. Mountain time sounds made up, right? There's like eastern, central, Pacific. Mountain. That should be it. Let's talk to Amin, because he's an expert.

Amin lives in one of the more confusing states for this in Arizona. It is really tricky, because sometimes you're like three hours behind, sometimes you're two. Pick a zone, Arizona. Well, actually, Arizona's saying you pick a zone because you're the ones who are changing your clocks left and right.

We just keep it simple, which is what it should be. Daylight savings, scam. We don't need it anymore. Get rid of it, right? But also, Billy, I'm with you, but I'll go beyond mountain, get rid of central time, too. Here's why. Indiana, East Coast time. Cleveland, East's why. Indiana, East Coast time.

Cleveland, East Coast time. Detroit, East Coast time. Why do we have a central of those cities right there on East Coast time? I see what you're doing there. So we should just have a left time and a right time. And a right time. Everybody will just.

And Bomani will only air in the other one. This is a true story. It happened right here in my town. One night, 17 kids woke up, got out of bed, walked into the dark, and they never came back. I'm the director of Barbarian. A lot of people died in a lot of weird ways. You're not gonna find it in the news because the police covered everything all up.

On August 8th. This is where the story really starts weapons Don libertard number three chick-fil-a waffle fries Love it. I mean nah, I think it's an overrated you guys go ketchup or chick-fil-a sauce when you have the chick-fil-a That's my brother right there Good call You're my brother StuGuts

Oh my god What a weird interaction White guys, white guys, white guys Wow This is the Dan LeBattar Show with the StuGuts I'm gonna take a step further. I think there should be easier and standard time zone and that's it That's the time the whole world the whole world. Wow. Yeah, whatever. It's 10 a.m. Right now 10. Oh 4 a.m. Right now everywhere And what you know easy it is to figure out

what time do you want to meet? What time do you want this phone call to be? What time is a certain show on? One time, you adjust to the lightness, you adjust to the darkness, okay? But the time is the same everywhere. He does kind of look like God today. What?

What if you end up getting screwed with that? What if they go with London's time and all of a sudden right now it's 4 a.m. for us? Everyone knows Eastern Standard Time Zone is the Lord's time zone. This is the one that they would go with. So I'm lucky that I live in Eastern Standard Time Zone. Amen.

There's no more confusion. How often is it like when we, you know, you're doing radio, you got a guest and you're like, you got, oh, so what time is that where I live? No, it's the same time. Yeah, that's a point. I've never gone to church, and the priest has to decipher which time zone we're at,

so clearly Eastern time zone is the Lord's time zone. Yes, that's the Lord's time zone. So we got some time zones on the screen right there. Does Australia cease being tomorrow, or it's back to being today? Today, yes. Yeah, that's right. Same time everywhere, which also means they're not in the future anymore. They're at the same time zone as us.

Bring it back. Why is half of Canada like in mountain time? Stupid, right? Even though, like look at that. Look, it's Canada's fault, clearly. We could knock out half of these colors. Just give me one on the left and one on the right. I'm not going with the Zazz idea Well, you're going to find it's happening, baby. You're going too far It's not bad and like if we did do that We say you know what at the end of this year starting 20 January 1 2026 and by the way like time to prep Australia

England everyone over there, guess what? You get bonus time. Like all that, you celebrate the New Year twice because when it's- Yeah, we'll give you a day back. Exactly right, you'll give you a day back, you get 12 hours back, whatever. But 1201, January 1, 2026, Eastern time zone,

that's your time now. Get on the program. You get a week, everybody gets a week off just to readjust your bodies if you want. Wouldn't you love it if you got a bonus day? Yeah. someone said hey, you're gonna get to live this day, and then we're gonna give you the day again You know what you'd accomplish in a day if you get to it twice well January 1st How much you could have a lot of activities? What do you do? What's the activity done on January 1st? I'm just saying like if I wanted to if I if I wanted to come up with a list of activities

And you gave me two days in one to do it. I'm gonna get some shit done. Did you put her on the pole? Do you get a lot of shit done on January 1st? This is not January 1st is bonus January for you don't get it. He doesn't get it. You're gonna be left behind Okay, I feel bad. I want to take notes give break this down for me one more time Okay, I feel bad. I want to take notes give break this down for me one more time So how do you get an extra day? Yeah, well because like Australia's 13 hours ahead So half day ahead so eventually when this plan is enacted, okay? There's go now. It doesn't have to be January 1st. You do whatever it could be tomorrow Let's not get hung up on what day we're talking about. Oh, no, okay

So now I have an issue because what if I'm one of the sad sacks who doesn't live east of here? What if I live in Hawaii? Yeah. You're telling me I- You lose a day. I missed out. That's part of it. Those limeys over there in England get an extra day

and I gotta take it away from me? I'm an American. Hang with them, player. You get to live in Hawaii, okay? You get plenty of good. Yeah, you actually deserve to lose a day. You live in a gorgeous place. Hang with them.

What about Alaska? That's not gorgeous. It's awful. January? Terrible. That's Alaska. Good, so they're speeding things up for you. You live in a terrible place. Guess what? We just fast forward to you. Closer to death, yeah. So it's just the one time. You get the one extra day, the one time,

and then that's it, then everybody's back on the same time. And now we don't have to worry about, you know, what meeting times, phone calls, vacation. You say, hey, I'm gonna call you this afternoon at 6 p.m. Eastern time, the time zone of the Lord. Everybody knows, 6 p.m. Because we're all on the same page now. So do games start at the same, like,

if it's like a 7 p.m. start typically for NBA games, everywhere they all start at 7 p.m. at the same time, or do they start a little earlier, a little later? No, it could be whatever you want, but we're all in the same, it's all the same time. I'm just saying, like, you know, in the NBA, for instance, Miami games start at 7.30, but like, Laker games start at 730 Pacific which is

1030 Eastern but now we have PM you'll still do 10 p.m. But you know it'll just be 10 p.m. In California which is weird you got to get a fit in a nap maybe during the day you know but maybe you want it to be Light out when you get to the arena that's on you you figure it out. I didn't tell you have a team in California Okay, I'm just saying this is what time it is world You think this is what the meetings are like when they decided on time zones initially Scenario guy that looks exactly like that Same here and everything been thinking about it for way too long I'm telling us if I ever wanted to run for office. I never would but let's not rule everything out

I give it a point zero one percent percent This would be one of my main platforms What everybody like wow this guy's making our life is running for president of the United States by Erasing time zones in the entire world that's annoying time zones are Gotta adapt and then there's jet lag. How much better would it be if it was just the same time everywhere? I don't know what's that like. I don't get jet lag. I don't get jet lag. Yeah, oh, not a problem. Not a problem. That's not a platform that I would support. No. Get rid of jet lag though. I don't have it. Well, you're already established. You're gonna be left behind. I have a question. So like if we do eliminate time zones, right? Mm-hmm. What a glorious time that's gonna be. Well, but let's say we, they didn't go with the Lord's time zone, and you had to adopt another time zone.

Would you be fine with it as long as we're just all adopting the time zone? When it's mean time. Well, what you want to talk about, because where this conversation starts, we'll go with mountain time zone. I don't even know what that is. The sound's made up.

Well, I mean, if every time zone's the same, it doesn't really matter which time zone we pick. Which is the devil's time zone? That's a good question. This is a weird place to take the Dion Sanders discussion. I knew that's where we started. How did we devil's time zone? That's a good question. This is a weird place to take the Deon Sanders discussion. I knew that's where we started. How did we get to time zones? Deon's speaking at 11 AM Mountain Time.

He got hung up on that. Never mind. He doesn't know when that is. Could have some sort of terminal disease, but you never know. I don't want to miss the announcement. If we were all the same time zone, I wouldn't miss it. This is exactly the show I wanted.

I want Dan to be like like what are you guys doing? Talk about Dion No, we're talking about time zones. Yeah, what if it is like Beijing time? I don't know what Beijing time is That's my problem Because they're running everything so wouldn't they be the ones that call it? Are they really running everything? No, they're not running everything right now. Carlos Boozer knows what Beijing time is. Oh boy, does he ever. Him and Jerome Bettis. Jerome Bettis escapes the Beijing bus.

He was the original guy. He was the original guy. He's the guy you would have thought would have cut down. But I've seen him at Tahoe. Double down. Double down, yeah. He's like, this works for me. I'm staying right here.

I think the fear, Mike, is we don't wanna talk about it because what if it's either more serious than we thought or less serious than we thought? I kinda wanna know what the deal is, right? Yeah, and unfortunately, the way that he's announcing this and building up anticipation allows for wild speculation. When you say I just filled out a will, that is a wild statement.

Here it's, and honestly, I I wish him well I don't need like a like a big reveal for what's wrong with him Let's know what's going on and we'll still want to hear from him and and and wonder about his health and people would have a better Opportunity to prepare questions for it. It's a it's a weird build-up for a press conference But I mean do it do whatever you want there. It's a weird buildup for a press conference, but I mean, do whatever you want there. It's odd. I would like to talk about it properly without speculating, but I can't really, and it seems as though,

through his own words, that we're dealing with a life and death matter that is going to force him to step away from a football program that very quickly he became synonymous with. Mike, to give people context, this is the cryptic message that he posted on social media. I don't know if I'm ready mentally, emotionally. Last night was tough, yesterday was tough. Cause...

I had to... Make a will. Listen, it's not... Easy. At all. Someone found that funny. To think that you might not be here. But you want to leave everybody straight. This is a massive story.

This is one of the biggest sports stars in the history of this country. He is one of the most recognizable people in this country. And in college football, he has become like a cult of personality over there. And this is so close to the season. This feels like there've been rumors, like I said, about his health for a while now. He's, maybe something happened recently where he's ultimately decided that he has to step away

from the program potentially, or is he gonna stay with the program and Fight this Whatever this is while he's on staff again Like he was talking about the season at Big 12 media day two weeks ago despite looking pretty rough He was talking about it like he was gonna be a part of it. I have family on the roster No, right. I don't believe so. Dion tweeted out an hour ago, let's learn to love like we may not get

another opportunity to do so, provided we choose the right people to love. Love is so special, it's so unique and so real. God is love and his love is unconditional. Let's stop judging, stop hating, and let love have its way. I'm telling you, man. Does he normally tweet like that?

These are not the words of someone who's like, yeah, I'm dealing with this thing, I gotta step away, but I'ma bounce man. Does he normally tweet like that? These are not the words of someone who's like, yeah I'm dealing with this thing, I gotta step away but I'ma bounce back on it. Even if it's like, think about all the athletes and all the people we know who have contracted cancer. Usually the messaging is very positive. Hey, we're gonna beat this like I beat everything else and we'll be back and nobody worry.

In the meantime, contribute to these cancer research funds or like, you don't usually hear mortality and especially from someone who the ultimate competitor. That doesn't sound like a guy that you want to go play for right now. Well, I want to play for, that doesn't sound like a guy who at every turn has always been one of the most confident people I've ever seen. I think no matter who you're talking about in terms of people who have publicly fought cancer, if they talk about it beforehand or if they talk about a relapse situation, they always say, hey, we're going to beat this, get to the other side, thank you for all your

positive comments and we'll use that, you know. I was at the ESPYs when Craig Sager got the award and he's up on stage and Craig Sager, he's looking gaunt and the jacket is not fitting in properly and I'm sitting there like, holy shit, I'm seeing Craig Sager and it's like, I don't think this thing is going to go the way we want it to and even in that moment, he still was positive he still was upbeat he still was Craig Sager and I'm telling you Dion Sanders the competitor Dion Sanders the ultimate winner Dion Sanders who told everybody I'm gonna come in here to Colorado and if you aren't

on the same page I'm gonna bring my own guys and they got Louis bags with them or whatever. For that guy to talk about, I'm not ready, last night was tough, yesterday was tough, this isn't easy to think that you may not be here. When he said I'm not ready mentally, my thought was he's talking emotionally, I thought he was talking about coaching football, but in the context that you're discussing, he could have just been talking about coming to an end.

Even if he got a bad diagnosis, somebody who his entire life has felt invincible would still feel like, oh, I will get past this. So you're right, just in tone, it doesn't match up with Deion Sanders. This isn't, like I said, Mike, this isn't somebody who's like, oh damn, I'm gonna have to sit out this year.

This isn't like Chuck Pagano. That's not this. This is something like, forget about my- It seems very broken. That was very dramatic as a life and death matter would be dramatic to the person going through it. I just wish we knew a little bit more about it because we're having these discussions which in retrospect could end up being irresponsible. I don't like the guessing game that we're doing. I don't think we've guessed anything. We're putting context to what kind of person uses these kind of words.

I don't think you're being irresponsible, because I think it says that he and his medical team are holding a press conference. This is a huge story. He mentioned a will. For those who don't know, Dion has had amputations. And and like made joke like this isn't a guy who's like oh they tell me I have pneumonia like and starts getting flustered like he's a tough guy in this video he there there's perspiration on his face too like he

he's been sweating a lot lately I was just specifying the toes thing because when you say he's had amputations and I see deon sanders, you know on TV I see his arms and legs. So yes his toes The point is this is someone who's had fairly serious health concerns in the past, right? and nothing that even closely shook his resolve this way and Okay, I'm with you Mike. Like I hope we over blew it. I hope this thing comes out and it's like, yeah, he's sick, but there's a path for this. He's a superhero.

Yeah, man, like, it's prime time. We all grew up in the era in which we have memories of watching him play two different sports on TV. Well. Playing at a really high level. He's unlike really any athlete that we've ever had. And from a personality standpoint, now that he's a head coach,

no one has ever really had his charisma. He's one of the biggest stars of our lifetime. This is shaping up to be a really sad day. Biggest name, coach, active right now, right? Active right now, it's him and Balachek. Right. I mean. I mean, he's, Dan always mentions it all the time.

He's starring alongside Nick Saban in commercials and he doesn't look out of his depth. He is a star. Man, that's tough. I hope, like I said, I hope the news is good. It'll come out 11 a.m. Mountain Time, which is 1 p.m. Eastern. Okay.

At the Translator. Lord's Time. Lord's Time, yeah. The Lord's Time, 1 p.m. the Lord's Time. Which means it'll probably come out after we're done today, so tomorrow, tomorrow's show, we'll have an answer and we'll be able to talk about it more intelligently. Sharp at 9am, Lord's Time.
