We're digging into the biggest surprises of the season. And I'm looking back on some of my greatest playoff moments. If we didn't talk ever again, I was crying.

You just understood. That's how personal it got. Wow. Then after that game seven, Marquis'clock, he's like, you know I love you, dog. You know, it's all love. This was just playoffs. This was just basketball. So listen to Point Game on the game.

the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. People were like, why the fuck would you have a Jonas Brothers concert, like in the middle of a baseball game? I didn't think that it was that bad. The internet was beside themselves, per usual. And so I'm just like, all right, what do I do? I can't really hear what's going on. I don't know this song.

So I was like, I'll just air drums. I'm just going to air drums for like the whole song. So I'm air drumming, air drumming, air drumming, air drumming, and the song just ends when the fucking. Fox broadcast was like zoomed in on my face. And I was like, and then it stopped. And it was kind of awkward, but I, I, I, it was fine. I was just trying my best.

One, two, three. Good morning. Show me something. Podcast. I've slept like eight minutes in the last, uh, week. Uh, and I could not be more excited to be here with Sophie freaking Cunningham and you guys. I'm freaking dialed. I'm glad that you're bringing the energy because I feel like death.

Oh my gosh. But we're good. Like a sickness or like lack of sleep or... You've slept eight. I've maybe slept 10. Like we are... I pulled two all-nighters the other night or like the other week for no reason. It's just being a ball or just being a badass?

No, just like from flying from like one coast to another and just like being so... Oh! Oh! Coast. Okay, we talked about this last episode. We missed each other in New York because your cute ass did Good Morning America. Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, quap, co, clap, clap, quap, co, co, co, co, co, co, all right, let's talk about it, news anchor. I should have like some anchorman TikToks or something. I just wasn't thinking because it was so early. Dude, isn't that the worst when, like, you're in these environments where, like, you could just crush a, like, TikTok bit and you fully forget?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But whatever. Problems. Yeah. So I was in Florida because I was looking for a house. Probably not going to do that for a while. Yeah, we'll talk after why. So then I flew up to New York and it was so fun.

I walked down the city for like three hours, got some dumplings, went to bed at like 7 p.m. woke up at like 4 a.m. because of just, I don't know why. And then we went straight to Good Morning America. And it was amazing. The people there are absolutely. absolutely so, so nice.

The hair and makeup were great. I met Robin. I met Ginger. Like, everyone that I met was just so cool. Robin was posting you up in the green room? Dude, she was, she was so cool. Like, she was so cool. I was like, oh my gosh, this is awesome.

But I was there with Arby's. And it was amazing. I was eating like steak bites at like 7, 8 a.m. It was nice. There's no wrong time to have a steak bite. Let's get that. Let's cover that right away. It was good, too.

So on Good Morning America, it was a very kind of like quick snippet. But we were talking about how hot girls eat Arby shirt went absolutely viral and has been like completely sold out really since I've worn it, which has been kind of cool. But Arby's most popular item has become the steak nuggets, dude. How kind of cool is that? Has it? Yes. Well, we should shout out that the guy who went viral for eating fucking 40 of them by himself and in Arby's. Dude, can we get that guy as our first guest on the pod? Stig Nugget guy?

So good. He probably sold out half of that, whatever, wherever that Arby's was. Oh, I know. Probably saw out the whole link. But I will say, too, they were talking to me in the test kitchen down in Georgia. They want me to come test out some of like the new stuff that they're doing. How awesome would that be? Dude, you get to wear like a hairnet and like an apron and just go,

try shit. Yep. How sick. Yeah. Yeah. Um. Awesome. Do you know what any of the, what it, what it could be? Um, well, I think this one is like, this is like stuff that they haven't even thought about or put out yet. So that's going to be exciting. But I do know that they're about to come out with a deep fried turkey sandwich. Oh. Wait. I don't even, I know, I don't even know what that would look like. Yeah. How it would it looks like. But it sounds awesome. Some people do fry turkey on Thanksgiving, but I have never seen it in a sandwich.

Me either. Do you think it's like a Thanksgiving, I mean, it's definitely like a Thanksgiving rollout. That sounds, can I be honest, I want that now. Oh. Speaking of that. You put gravy on it probably. Yeah.

Dude, sounds good. I think that sounds so good. I also found out that New York only has one Arby's in the whole city. Yes, I just looked up what the deep fried turkey sandwich looks like. Oh, hell, yeah. Okay, are you ready for this? Yeah, I want to look it up while you're talking. I think they're calling it The Gobbler.

The Star of the show is The Gobbler, Deep Fried Turkey, Cornbread stuffing, cranberry spread, and crispy onions. Basically, thanks. Okay, so yeah, Thanksgiving. It's basically Thanksgiving in sandwich form. And it's going to come out in November. Holy fuck, does that mean tomorrow? Oh, yeah. Ah!

I'm just going to go to Jacksonville. What did you do in Jacksonville? I'm like, I ate the deep fried turkey sandwich, the gobbler, and Jacksonville. And I made sure that I found it. Dude, that is too good. The reason I found out that there was only one Arby's in New York, though, is because I was getting my hair done and my makeup done. And they all were asking about the steak nuggets. And they're like, we can't find an Arby's in New York.

And I was like, well, missing out. I will say those people I'm not watching Good Morning America every day but everyone on that show I feel like they've been doing it for a thousand years and bringing the best vibes

every single day of their whole lives Yeah Like they seem so genuine and sweet and positive and like just sweet little angels that wake up at 4.30 a.m. every day. They truly are and just like the producers the people who the directors the people who let us in like

from security all the way to like the people that we know, everyone is so friendly. Like, it was amazing. Yeah. I was so shocked. Did you get to, like, I mean, like, if anyone watched, we could all tell it was like, an RB's related, uh, the situation. Did they, did you get time to, like, did they ask you anything like that wasn't prompted?

Or was it pretty like getting it out? So I think that I don't know. Well, I do know that, like, Disney kind of told our good friends. at Arby's that like the segment would be a lot longer, like a lot longer. And then something happened. And then so it was already cut to like, let's say 15 minutes all the way down to like three. And then the show was running behind. And so then it turned out.

It probably was probably time thing. Yes. And then it turned out being only like a minute 25. But it was good. It was in and out. I got a lot of positive feedback and responses on socials. And so many people are trying to stay bites now. So that's exciting.

Shout out Arby's. You looked great, by the way. Thank you. I don't know how many times I'll comment on your appearance on this podcast because I've known you since you were a child and we work together. You looked so hot, Sophie. Thanks, Wes. Thank you.

I love a little affirmation from you. Yeah, I got you. That reminds me, you know what I never? This happened like two or three weeks ago, but I never said on the podcast. If anyone remembers three episodes ago, I made a joke about. Lexi like and so he was like oh she's like engaged or whatever

she followed me back on Instagram guys jokes on you guys let's go pop the confetti speaking of pretty girls though didn't you do stuff with like chicks in the office yeah I'm coming off of the

one of the more wild road trips I've ever had dude tell me you're at the World Series you've like been doing all the things Okay, I did, okay, it was World Series in Toronto for two days, and then I flew to Vegas for ComplexCon for one day. Then I flew to Kansas City for Monday Night Football to do a thing with the chiefs that I think comes out tomorrow. And then I flew from Kansas City to Milwaukee to do a live show with chicks in the office. So two days in Toronto. And like, did you really sleep up there?

Like, what were you doing? No, not really. Also, fun fact, did you know Canadians do not say. the second T in Toronto. So you would pronounce it like Toronto, no, Toronto. Toronto. So you don't say this.

Yeah, boom. Toronto, I think all like, if any, if any Canadians listen to this, they'll be so stoked that I, I've officially called that out. Let's just throw it out there. Australia, Melbourne. They say Melbourne.

Melbourne. Melbourne. Melbourne. Yeah. Yeah. Look at the sliding. Sorry, the sun's coming up because it's that early.

You've got a little golden hour going on. Oh. Yeah. For the, for just the list. audience. If you're on Spotify or Apple Muse right now, are you in Arizona? Yes. And it's the crackerston.

The Arizona sun, the Arizona sun just rose over the mountaintops and is kissing Sophie's face. Just kissing it all over. It's beautiful. Thank you. Okay, so I did the World Series

with MasterCard. Did you see the TikTok of me that's going fucking viral? Yes. I love. Love, love, love. You don't care about the Jonas Brothers, do you? I don't feel like that's your... Yeah. I mean, I like some of their songs, but it's not like, you know, die hard.

So we were there and they were kind of like getting us ready to roll. And we couldn't really hear anything from like where we were, but we were like up close. So I was like going to, I wanted to make sure I looked like I was having fun. Also, they got such bad pushback for the Jonas Brothers concert. people were like, why the fuck would you have a Jonas Brothers concert, like in the middle of a baseball game? I didn't think that it was that bad. The internet was beside themselves, per usual. Yeah.

You can't win on the internet. Yeah, no, you can't. No, you can't. And so I'm just like, all right, what do I do? I can't really hear what's going on. I don't know this song. So I was like, I'll just air drums. I'm just going to air drums for like the whole song.

So I'm air drumming, air drumming, air drumming, air drumming, and the song just ends when. when the fucking Fox broadcast was like zoomed in on my face. And I was like, oh, and then it stopped. And it was like kind of awkward, but I, I, I, it was fine. I was just trying my best. You're fine. Yeah, we were good. But Toronto, great place.

They, series was tied. Blue Desert are up now. I think they might take it home tonight. We'll see what happens. Then I go to ComplexCon, okay, in Vegas. I literally got into Vegas, go to the hotel, check in, body shower, because I didn't have time to shampoo or can dish. And then I get straight to the venue and they're like,

Cuevo's here. Like, can you interview? Are you ready? And I was like, I was like, fucking bet. Let's roll. Interview with Cuevo and then Cuevo leaves their like, Tide Dala sign is here. Just dropped an album. Are you ready?

Oh, hell yeah. That's so cool. I was like, let's roll. I actually, Tide, D'Las sign isn't, I wouldn't. consider him A-list, like, Quavo, but I think he makes a lot of music, and it's good. And he just dropped an album that I also think he's good.

So, rip that. I interviewed J.R. Smith for, like, a good 15, like, a good 10. You basically, it's just, like, how Comboxcon works is we have, like, these different booths for, like, interviews and stuff. Yeah. And because it's such chaos, you can't, like, slate,

like, no one's, like, really scheduled when to show up. We just have our talent team. Like if Cuevo shows up, they're like, go grab him, like bring him to the thing, like be ready to go whenever we can find him. Wait,

are you the only one interviewing? No, there's a couple other people. This guy named Jordan, um, is kind of like, the fucking anchor for like comp, comp,

he's like, he's great. Um, he was doing them, but I held it down for like most of Sunday. I love that. Um, and then they just bring him through and you got to be like,

ready to roll. Uh, wait, were there any, like, funny questions? or anything or did anything like funny or kind of cool happen? Great question.

Well, Ty Dalla walked, Ty Dalla did the whole interview with a lit fucking J in his hand. No. Rappers are like rappers do whatever the fuck they want. Like athletes, I feel like there's always decorum and they kind of have been, they've had to present themselves. Yeah,

they do that behind closed doors and then show up. Yeah. But rappers like, literally don't care. So, yeah, Tidal walked up with the jet, like just a fucking chunky, wet, lit, Jay just held it in his hand while we did the whole interview.

But I was like, sick. Um, so that was tight. Yeah, I don't think, I don't know if I'm allowed to say what we did, but I think it's like coming. Yeah. Actually, no, I definitely can't say.

because we already filmed it. So it was called Secret Chief, and I wore an insane disguise and, like, walked around Arrowhead for, like, six hours, like, just eating food. Wait, time. What do you mean? Like, I think that's fun.

I'm excited to see the costume or, like, the disguise. It's, so it's bad. It's fucking bad. Are people weirded out by you? I just look like one of those people who, like, paints their fucking face and like, where's dumb shit? Dude, that is so good.

I love that. I know. I will say, though, the food. I mean, as you know, error had food fucking baller. And then, but the winner. Yeah, this probably won't even come out until this drops anyways.

The win, ah. Yeah, okay, I'm going to spoil. I don't care. Like, just do it. Do it. Whatever. It was this guy named Chris, and he made, he called it Kingdom Rotel.

And it was like, like, brisket and like, a bunch of fucking like spices and shit in a rotel dip that he had that he had like on his grill top and like jerk Cajun seasoning jalapinos tomatoes everything. Then he had jerk wings and I was like oh cute like the jerk like this rotel it looks really good and then I was like about to take a dip and he's like wait wait wait wait pulls a fucking brisket shoulder out and then starts shaking it and juicing it and then cuts like a half pound off it and then like

salt made it on the rotel. Yeah, I'll send Kevin the videos. It was gorgeous. Ugh. It was just like the most Kansas City fucking plate. Well, that's why my mouth is watering. That just sounds absolutely amazing.

Oh, God, that sounds good. Yeah, it was different. It was special. Did that. Then we go up to like the drum circle and they like take my like disguise off and they're like, oh my God, it's west. And like no one fucking knows.

Hey, hey, one clap. Yeah. That was funny. But it was great. And then obviously, my night football, we beat the commanders. I went and saw my dad for a little bit.

And then Milwaukee chicks in the office show. Are they all like a tour or something? Yeah. They do a tour where they basically like, they're basically like doing their podcast. Like a lot of people do this now. It's like a podcast and they just do it live. But it's like interactive and like people show up and whatever.

I think that would be really good at that. No, it's not. I really have nothing going on. But I think a live podcast with us interacting with people would be top-not. It'd be fun. I just would like the basketball, then Bravo people, like the crossover, I wonder, it would just be so interesting. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm for it though. Sorry. I just, I fully did. I didn't stop talking for a gun. No, that's fine. Because I literally have zero updates because I have. been moving nonstop. I've barely slept. I've been doing rehab. And that's literally, oh my God, it's Halloween. Happy Halloween. Oh, happy Halloween. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what?

We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast. Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jones? guys. I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band.

Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey, Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.

But thanks for a member. Remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL, late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an acapella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Jared Adano. You might know me as that loud guy who yells out, help on the internet. Help! Somebody! Please!

But there's so much more to me than that. I'm an actor. I'm a comedian. And recently, I've become quite the helper myself. And on my new podcast, Hope from a Hypocrite, I'll be changing lives, helping people in need with myself. age advice and thoughtful solutions. Sike! I'm a comedian! I'm not qualified to give good advice! Join me and my comedian friends as we riff, rant, recommend some of the most legally

dubious advice known to man. If I'm calling you, even if you're on your phone, let it ring twice. One ring is too scary. Oh, cream of chicken suit. Hey, cream. Cream a chicken suit. This is Help from a Hypocrite, the worst advice from the dumbest people you know. to help from Hippocrat as part of the Mike Coutura Podcast Network

available on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam, it's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defining the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before.

And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us

on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball, like, You go through a training camp with that Isaiah, you figure it out real quick.

Get your ass up and down the court and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Are you guessing up? Oh, yeah. I did last night. I have a flight to catch today, so I can't. Where are you going now? If I gave you 200 guesses to guess where I'm fucking going, you would never get, you would never guess it.

In a, in like, in the not exciting way. Where are you, where are you going? Jacksonville, Florida, baby. Let's go. Wait, wait. What's, what? Why? Turn up.

Uh, it's called the captain's challenge, Sophie with Captain Morgan. Oh. I like that, dog. Yeah, you never know. I like that. You never know when the Captain's Challenge could show up.

But I'm like in and out because this Sunday is the New York City Marathon, which is the best day in all of New York like the whole year. Well, it's the New York City Marathon, but it is like, I can you not like, it's like the marathon. It's like the marathon, yeah. Oh, shit. You would just, if you were, you like, all you do is cry all day. It's like, it's like,

it's like fast people, slow people, big people, small people, old people, young people, people who lost a bet, people who want to prove something to themselves. Like it is and everyone's got signs and like, I'll cry right now. So I'm to say like, we love you, mom, we're so proud. Like, it is Sophie. And it's people like running by and hugging and fucking crying and taking pictures and like everyone being so proud of everyone. It's the best, it's the best day of like humanity you could ever find. See, and like that's the type of I will literally cry talking about it. That is like when everyone's just supporting each other regardless of like why they're there.

Because that sounds like a melting pot. Like I just think that'd be so amazing. It is I like I'm flying back. because I have to be here. And so what you do, you have like an app that you have all your friends, you plug their bib number in, and you follow them throughout the day. And so like we're going to camp out Upper East Side and you just wait until your friends like a few blocks, you run outside, you find them, you yell, you give them hugs,

you take pictures and they keep going. Wait, how many people are doing it that you know? I think I have like, I think I have like six right now. Some are like, some are crazy runners. Some it's their first time. Like that's why it's the best day. That's really cool. Oh, speaking of like kind of being pros and then maybe just doing it for fun, how was our last kickball game?

Because it's the last one, right? So if we lost in quarters. It was tough. Three, two. One of my boys dropped a routine pop fly bases loaded two outs in the first. And we never dug ourselves out of that hole. Yeah. But you know what?

It just proves how hard going back to back is. You know what I'm saying? And the Chiefs have done it, how many times? Well, they've gone back to back once, but they're like, but even just staying at the top, hard to do. But AFC Championship, though. ABC Championship is seven in a row. So I'm saying.

Seven AFC championships in a row. Wait, back to Marathon running, would you ever do, like I would never do long distance? I don't think I'd like it. I don't think my body would like it. But so many people do it. Could you ever be a cardio, person when you're done playing basketball. Okay, so weird

that you've said this because I have always thought that you have to be mentally ill to do any type of marathon. Yeah. That's just how I feel. But I have an awesome friend out here. Her name is, or out here, her name is Amy. And she does the Hawaii. There's like a Honolulu

marathon every year around December. And I was like, and Hawaii is my happy place. So I was like, heck yeah. But my leg is not ready for it this year. So I'm actually doing a full marathon next year. And I'm trying to get Lindsay, my sister, to do it too. But I think I'm mentally ill.

Wait, are you, okay, wait, respectfully, do your coaches and trainers know this? No, it'll be out of season. It'll be in December. But you had to train for a marathon for like six months. Here's my thing. I'm going to, this is probably so wrong. But again, I said I'm mentally ill. I said I would do this.

That's already a huge problem. The full marathon? Like 20, what is it? 26. Kev helped me out, 26? 20 something, 20. It's point something. 20 something, point something, right?

Oh, but so you are doing full. Like, that's not a joke. But this is why I think I'm going to be able to do it. Because I'm going to be right out of season. So I'm already going to be in really great shape. And then it's Hawaii. So if I get tired or whatever, I'm just going to walk and look at the ocean and look at the mountains. Like, I'll be fine.

I'm not going to run the whole thing. Okay, 26.2, yeah. I am not, I want, I'm rooting for you. But I do think that it's like a different type of in shape. Like it's not, it wouldn't be the same as like basketball in shape. Well, I did kind of like out my training program. So I'm not going to be training up for six months, but after season, then I'll start running long distance. So like there's a whole.

And how much time do you have? So October. Between season and Hawaii? Like two months. Okay. That's not too bad. No. But if you think that I'm ever running, like, I think my max that I will run in that whole 26.2, I'll get myself around like 13 miles.

The other one is I'm walking. Is it something that you, are you doing it for vibes or you like want to accomplish and like have a marathon under your belt? No, I fucking hate marathon running. Like I'll support people all day long. But mentally, I, no, I don't ever want to do that. I think it's going to be a living hill. I'm only doing it because it's in Hawaii. And Hawaii is my happy place.

Dude, that will be fun to track. that I'll probably want to die. Yeah, I, yeah. For me, it's a concrete for a whole day. I wouldn't, it wouldn't bode well. You know what's weird though? I, in the off season, I actually love to jog, but like for maybe a mile and a half, two miles three max.

So just add on like 23.2 more miles of three. I think he'll be okay. Wait, I can't believe you're doing a fucking, I wonder how many, I wonder how many athletes have done. marathons before retirement. I think it's just, I want to push myself to see if I can actually do it. No, yeah, that's fire. But then that's why, like,

I'm not telling you to, like, push your body too far, but, like, I'm curious if you can actually do it. I probably will. Yeah. But there's a lot of, like, I feel like this marathon is also kind of how you say the New York Marathon is because it's like young people, old people, people who come from other countries just to be in Hawaii and, like, do this and it's around Christmas.

And so like the vibes are fun. And so even if I have to walk, I can walk for days. Walking is fine. So if I just have to walk a little bit, but if I start cramping, I'm done. Like call the helicopter, throw me in the ocean,

I'm good. So I don't know if I'll be able to do it. You will. Are you not done moving? No. Oh my God, no. No. But I'm almost done.

Like yesterday and the day before, the last two days have been really big days. and I'm not someone who like I need to work under pressure because otherwise I'll like dick around and like not do my stuff. And I think I dicked around a little too much maybe this time because I have so much shit. But my movers, they're called Good Greek and they're out of Florida. And they did awesome. My guys were Adrian and Christian and they got that shit done. Shout out Adrian and Christian.

I wish I had that fucking blowhorn sound effect attached to me. No, dude. It was, they were impressive. Like, just how fast they got stuff done. I was like, wow. Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah, guys. Yeah.

Good vibes. Obviously, the art is all off your walls. Those are looking pretty naked. Yeah. I have barely anywhere to do anything. So I'm trying to get organized. Are you mourning, like, leaving that apartment? Honestly, kind of sad.

It's like leaving. a little era and like the house I had but it was so cute and I made it really homey and cozy spent way too much money like furnishing it and then like you can't spend too much money making your apartment feel like home don't ever feel bad for like investing into your your like space yeah was I would agree with you but then a week and a half later I got told I was being traded and so that part stuff that part yeah I'm sorry I should if you're a pro athlete if you're a pro athlete actually do not decorate your house until you have a fucking three-year contract in front of you. Don't buy a house.

Just don't buy them. So I do think I did buy all of it and I love it. And I think the next play the like the next team I play for I want a bigger contract. So then I can buy a house and be homie and cozy. Fuck yeah. Okay. Yeah. Wow.

That could be that's crazy. That could be the liberty. It could be New York City. it could also be the lengths and it could be Minneapolis. Like you just don't know. It could be anywhere. The 30-day extensions for the CBAs, any thoughts?

So I actually learned a lot because we've been having CPA calls. I know. It's actually very intriguing. Like I love the business side of things. But when you don't know, you don't know. So I thought that if we didn't have a agreement by the 31st, then it was a lockout.

That's not true. So you can, if both sides are continuing to negotiate and trying to come up with something, then you're still, you're not in a lockout. But once one side kind of stops or like just meh, that's when the lockout happens. So that's news to me. Okay.

Good note. And something to learn. Yeah, yeah. But it's been very fascinating, just like the ins and outs of the negotiation conversations, what they're doing, what they're not doing, what we're doing, what we're not doing. It's been kind of cool just to, like, sit back and listen.

Guys, did everyone hear that? Sovi Cunningham just said, it's nice to sit back and listen. I think I'm maturing. Put it on a T-shirt. Kathy? She's listening. She's listening. Cat dog, man.

Oh, cat dog. Did you see what they did to the MZoose? student section. Oh, gosh. Oh my gosh. Okay. People are so mad. And I'll let you, you can talk about it.

But I'll be on the same side as you, but that's a bummer. Dude, I am so glad you brought that up because people have been flooding my DMs and everything. I'm like, you've got to do something. So first, I want to, and Kev, you need to put up pictures of like the before and afters because this is actually crazy. I love. It is. It is bad.

It is bad. But I want to shout out our AD first, layered. he is an amazing, amazing human. Like, you could not ask for a better AD as a father, friend, anything like that, and then someone leading your athletic department, we are so lucky to have him at Mizzou. So I want to shout out that.

Second, I hate it. I hate it. And I know they're doing it because I heard that like it's like, the amount of money that they're making off of it, of course. But the seats weren't even filled first of all. And like the people who were sitting down there, they're like, actually it's, it's hard to see because you just have a coach or players just standing right in front of you. So you can't even really see. And most importantly, no. Like you want our student section is one of like, like college basketball, student sections in general are fucking amazing. Like I'm all for college basketball just for that reason. And ours was one of the best. And like we were right on top of people. They put the opposing bench right by the student section for a reason. And now we're just pushed back and it's not the same. vibes. Like, it's not going to be the same environment

playing. And as a player, I can tell you that that matters. And I do not like, I don't like it. Screw the money. Sometimes you have to just like find it another way because that's got to be fixed. I mean, yeah, you said it all. It just is like that was, if you watch a Mizzou basketball game

on TV, that is where your eyes go. Right below the basket on the left side of the broadcast or if you're in the arena, that whole section. Yep. And to take that away, to put rich people who will be sitting down probably

like it is just it's not a good vibe it's not like and I get it I get the money part but I also don't get it because you also have to like keep the environment where it's at like at the end of the day you're trying to create an environment

where it makes it really hard for teams to come in and win and pushing back people who are right on top of you nah but if they compare like if they have an athletic meeting or whatever and A is 30 rich people who will pay X amount of money for these seats versus good student section in like loud environment.

They don't like they unfortunately will never care about home court advantage or like keeping students like it. It's so obvious but also like money will fucking always win and it's the worst. I hate it. It's the worst. Yes. I agree. I agree. I've been hesitant to.

respond or tweet because I really do love layered so much and I love what they're doing. But I, but the competitor in me and like just being a fucking Mizzou fan through and through, they've got to change that. So now that this is out of there's starting. I wonder if you could do something like tasteful. Like it's not like calling for his head, but just like this is one of the best advantages to Mizzou men's and women's basketball like to take it away.

It's like really sad. I want to say, I will never forget. this is ingrained into my brain. It would have been like 2006 or 2007. Mizzou was playing KU. I knew you're going to say that. They fouled, I forget who it was. They fouled a guy named Christian Moody

under the basket with like 0.3 seconds left. Game was tied. He had two free throws. That whole student, that was the loudest arena I've ever fucking been in, the craziest fucking place ever. And he missed both because they always had to shoot on that side in the second half.

Yes. Yep. and the roof blew off that place and they are on the floor on your fucking neck. And it looks like they took away it's got to be like

six or seven rows. And that's a big deal. They're far away now. They're like not. But here's my thing. The fact that like, because we went through, especially when I was in college,

we went through a time that no one really went to men's basketball games. Right? So know that we're back and like the fans are interested, especially the, students, like, don't take away more seeds. Like, try to find ways to put, okay, put the crazy antlers and crazy people down on the floor then.

You know what I mean? Like, don't put the rich people who aren't going to say shit down there. Ugh. I don't like this. I don't like it. I know. I know. I'm so glad you brought that up.

A trend in sports, though, is like getting, like, the chiefs have made designs where they're like, we want to put like, like, uh, sweets in this area or like a paid, whatever, whatever. And I'm like, dude, Arrowhead is about people who drink fucking tall boy Bud Lights and wear fucking coveralls and yell. And like the, like, quit putting rich people in people who cares seats.

You know, fucking ruin home field advantage for every sport. Yeah. Don't do it. But like, but no one will listen because they make more money. Like it's like, it's almost like NIL is ruining the athletes a little bit in the way

the culture of college basketball. But now just the money has always ruined the culture of really anything because they don't put the fun people there. Well, now because of NIL, athletic departments need more money more than ever. And it's not like, you can't kind of keep shit like where it was. It's just, it will never end.

It's kind of like a slippery slope and a vicious cycle. I do think you always, yeah, I think you do have to keep evolving. Like I think that like you do need a fine. If people are offering and want to pay more, do it. but I also think you can't take away from just like the feel of what makes college basketball, college basketball. That was a good one.

Sometimes when I feel like shit and I have no big expectations for the pod is when I really, you and I rip it. And I would like to apologize for talking for a straight 25 minutes earlier. Dude, that's what a podcast is, is you, is us talking. So do not apologize because I really have nothing kind of fun going on in my life. and I feel like you've been all over the place. So this is really cool. Okay, that makes me feel better.
