This is the final episode.

0:39

That's it. This is it for now. We

0:42

never know if we're getting renewed, but this is our final episode.

0:44

I hate living like this before. It's hey, welcome

0:46

to the life of a television show. It's

0:48

like a homeless person, even though it's not. You're

0:50

like, oh, I gotta leave today.

0:51

OK. I know, so we're

0:54

here. We got a lot to talk about. Kickoff.

0:56

Kevin is not able to be here, but he sent me

0:58

his tittle tattle question that just where is

1:00

he? I don't know, but I texted him.

1:02

I think he's at like a wedding.

1:04

Do you know he's in Cabo Cabo?

1:07

Gotta be a wedding or something because that party.

1:09

Maybe it's a bachelor party?

1:11

Is it? He missed

1:13

the last episode for a bachelor

1:16

party. I literally thought it was a wedding. Wow,

1:18

maybe he told you it was a wedding.

1:19

Maybe he did. Maybe it was like it's for a wedding.

1:22

So hey, you know what, whatever, read's leaving?

1:24

Kick off? What everyone crips?

1:26

Who gives a crap? Last ten tittle?

1:28

Let's go the

1:34

Tonlets kick up.

1:37

I'm gonna ask you the question that I'll answer it after you.

1:40

You got it.

1:41

After winning their sixth title since nineteen ninety

1:43

nine, where do you rank Yukon in terms of men's basketball

1:45

programs?

1:46

Oh? Number one? Uh no, no, no men's

1:48

programs. But back it up, back it up, like

1:51

like I would say, overall, overall,

1:53

I would put him in the top five.

1:56

Okay, I'm not holding you to it forever

1:58

because you didn't know the question. Yeah, yeah,

2:01

number one in your mind.

2:02

Number one I think still belongs

2:04

to just your mind.

2:06

If it's factually data isn't perfect,

2:09

that's okay. What comes to mind is the

2:11

best program of all time.

2:12

Powerhouses. I would go Duke okay,

2:14

although they're just the future doesn't look bright for them,

2:16

but powerhouses.

2:17

So Duke has five total

2:20

national championship.

2:21

Boy, I'm gonna look like an idiotot.

2:24

No, because it's not an idiot question. I just wonder where

2:26

your mind goes h. Duke has

2:28

a total of five. Yukon

2:30

has six. Now, yeah, they've

2:32

won six. That's nineteen eighty nine. So

2:36

you put Duke at one.

2:37

Go ahead, put Duke at one. I'd also

2:39

throw in Michigan State in there.

2:40

They're not even in near the really as

2:42

far as titles go now, but they

2:44

do have a very famous coach. I mean,

2:47

is a been there. He's who you think of when you think

2:49

of big programs. Kansas okay,

2:51

always up there. Kansas has four. Go

2:55

ahead, Where

2:57

do you put Yukon in that mix?

2:59

Yeah? Oh, for where do you put them in that? I

3:01

would have put you without even knowing the number of championships,

3:04

I would have put them at three, so I would

3:06

go.

3:08

I would have probably put Kentucky at one

3:11

in UCLA at two. But then you would have

3:13

told me the real championships and I would switch

3:15

that. Yeah, So just so you know, I would have put Kentucky

3:18

at one.

3:19

They have eight.

3:20

UCLA has eleven, but so much of that's like the

3:22

John Wooden era US. Sure we didn't get

3:24

to experience any of that, but some of the Kentucky's like

3:26

rup Ucla was also

3:29

was that also Kareem

3:32

but no it was lou Al Sender Louis

3:35

Yes changed in the NBA. Right, So

3:37

UCLA has eleven, Kentucky has eight,

3:39

North Carolina has six. Wow,

3:42

Duke has five, Kansas has

3:44

four. If I were ranking again,

3:46

it's all perception based, right, Ucla,

3:50

Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke

3:52

in Kansas all above

3:54

Yukon.

3:55

And then Yukon.

3:56

Indiana to me hasn't been good ever

4:00

for a long long time. I don't remember them being like national

4:02

champion good Bobby Knight, Yeah,

4:04

but when did he win a championship when I was four?

4:06

Eighties? Again, I

4:09

don't remember that, Mike.

4:11

I just remember him throwing chairs. That

4:13

very famous. That was cool.

4:14

But I think you remember watching it as a clip, Yeah, actually

4:17

happening.

4:17

Yeah, yeah, well you see.

4:18

The last year Indiana won national championship because

4:21

it fits in the eighties, I've

4:24

only been told how good Indiana

4:27

was at one point. Yeah, we didn't experience that, but I

4:29

know coach Smart hit the game winner

4:31

like ninety one or something.

4:33

What was that?

4:33

Well, we won five last one with eighty seven.

4:36

Okay, that was that going with those Coach Smart

4:38

who hit that shot? But it was seven?

4:40

Is coach Smart still with Arkansas? Funny

4:42

thing is when I was on campus, I saw him.

4:44

Says the first year with branch m McCracken.

4:48

That's a prank call name. And then later the

4:50

branch for kracking here branch, the branch

4:52

here brance for kracking, franch for cracking.

4:55

The three others were Bob Knight.

4:56

Yeah.

4:57

So I don't remember Indiana ever being a national

5:00

champion. It's not like I was seven. I was sit

5:02

in front of the TV, going, let's watch some NCAA

5:04

basketball twelve. I was a year older than you, so clearly

5:06

I remember that. We just remember being

5:08

told yea that they were good. Next

5:11

up, wait, hold on, back, back up. You saw coach

5:14

Smart. Yeah, he was on campus and

5:16

he was talking to the ad

5:19

hunter Yurochek, and I was walking

5:21

over to go just shoot and get a workout.

5:23

It in the basketball and the.

5:26

Practice gym, because there's the arena,

5:28

which we got to play in luckily, but there's also

5:30

the practice gym where they have practice, and so I

5:33

was like, Hey, can I go and work out and do something?

5:35

And so I just called one of my friends works

5:37

at the university. He's like, yeah, it's walking over to the practice gym

5:39

and I see the ad and Coach

5:42

Smart, who was Mus's main guy, standing

5:44

there by the doors I need to walk through, and I do not

5:46

want to walk by them because I don't want to have the conversation and

5:49

caliperiod already.

5:49

Been hired.

5:51

And that press conference had happened and it was like the day

5:54

before, and so I just didn't go

5:56

work out.

5:56

I just walked down to the Soft office. I surning around. I

5:58

just didn't.

5:59

I didn't even go because I don't want to like have to pop in there. Yeah

6:01

it's weird, but I asked He's like, why is coach Smart like

6:03

still here? Is he not going to

6:05

go be a Mussa's staff. And I don't think

6:07

the person who answered my question knew fully,

6:10

but he was like, I think he was like interviewed

6:12

for like a Fresno State job. And then

6:14

also someone has to run it until Cali

6:16

Perry comes in.

6:17

And is that how it works? Mostly when you take the

6:19

head coach position. You you have your staff

6:22

that you.

6:22

Bring with Calip Perrys

6:24

taken basically his entire staff.

6:25

Wow.

6:26

Yeah, so don't

6:29

know, Indiana, don't know what coach Mark's up

6:31

to. Saw him on campus. Thought it was so awkward that

6:33

I didn't even want to coach Mart's awesome, Like we

6:35

went in his office.

6:36

Great guy, head coach, NBA head coach

6:38

for a while too. Yeah, and you get the idea when someone

6:40

wants you out of their office. He didn't give us. He didn't give

6:43

me that that vibe. He gives the idea, will you please stay for

6:45

a long time? Sit down?

6:47

Next question, viewership

6:49

numbers. We're struggling. Is Yukon's

6:51

dominance these last two years bad for basketball

6:54

as a whole? So I

6:56

looked at the numbers of both. Because

6:58

the women's championship had

7:01

a bigger star, That's why

7:03

the women's game outdrew

7:05

the men's games. Sure, the women's game also

7:07

was in the daytime. Well normally isn't

7:10

what a time that would draw the most fewers.

7:12

But Kayln Clark is the biggest basketball star in

7:14

college period, and people are drawn to

7:16

stars.

7:17

And you have your numbers too, right like that exists,

7:19

like the numbers of people watching March Madness.

7:22

But then when you throw in women's basketball, where

7:24

you have someone like me who never watches

7:26

women's basketball, but now here's

7:28

about Kaitlyn Clark and how good it is,

7:31

so I start watching it, and you're adding

7:33

more people to the women's that would normally

7:35

already watch March Madness

7:37

men's.

7:38

That doesn't make a lot of sense really, because then it would

7:40

just be if every single person watched who did, and it would

7:43

just be even.

7:45

No, because we so say, like you and

7:47

me, say we're the stamp what do you call

7:49

it? The research sample? Oka say,

7:51

you and I we watched men's basketball,

7:54

March Madness all through March, right, we do it

7:56

every year, we watch the championship game. That's

7:58

just what we do. We normally don't

8:00

watch women's basketball, but because of Caitlyn

8:02

Clark and what's been going on over there, we

8:04

watched it, and more

8:06

women that have already watched that,

8:09

that probably don't watch men's basketball

8:11

are watching that as well.

8:13

I don't know that that and that's

8:15

a wonderful theory.

8:17

Hey came up with it yesterday.

8:18

No, I don't mind it.

8:20

It's literally just there

8:23

are no stars really and men's basketball,

8:25

because nobody stays if you're a star, yeah, if

8:27

you're really good freshman sophomore,

8:29

you go to the NBA the three four

8:31

year get to know them type of athletes,

8:34

which Kaitlin Clark has been. Let's say we were all

8:36

put onto her early last year. If you

8:38

didn't already know about her because she's a junior,

8:40

sure, so you've

8:43

been able to invest time with her, so you had.

8:46

I just don't think there's a bunch of just random women

8:48

who are like, we're just gonna watch the women's

8:51

and that's all. I think it's

8:54

mostly people going who's got the biggest star, Let's

8:56

go watch Kaitlin Clark. But

8:58

it's the men's game was

9:00

lower than the women's. But I don't know that I would totally

9:02

put it on the men's game. I give it

9:04

to Caitlin Clark for being the biggest star.

9:07

That's a good way to answer that. Because I

9:09

still thought that Yukon and Purdue would be

9:11

a good matchup, like I thought it would be

9:13

closer than it actually was, but nobody

9:15

knows.

9:16

I mean, Zach Edie would be an example of somebody

9:18

because he was a two time Player of the Year. But

9:23

in college basketball, nobody

9:25

knows the players because they don't stay if they're

9:28

good. Sure, and we like

9:30

stars in every sport. That's

9:32

why rarely is there a team

9:35

that we follow that everybody follows

9:37

and there's not a major star on that team.

9:39

Boy, and we like stars.

9:40

That's that's the whole American culture.

9:42

It Yeah, So.

9:45

Is it bad for basketball. No, I think it's awesome

9:47

for women's basketball. It'll show you that

9:49

you just get somebody out there that is

9:51

transcendent. People will watch after

9:54

a disappointing season because you see Giannis go down

9:56

it was non contact injury.

9:57

I didn't see it, no.

10:00

Good. It was a calf thing and they're calling

10:02

it day to day. So the question

10:05

that Kevin had asked, what's the Bucks ceiling

10:07

in the playoffs? Looked up the

10:09

record there and

10:11

I liked with the record, not because of this, but I think

10:13

they're they've won almost fifty

10:15

games. They're like fifteen or sixteen games over five hundred

10:18

and maybe off of a couple games there, but they honest thing

10:20

was scary because when he went down, he grabbed his leg. He like

10:23

sat on the court. But

10:26

the fact they're saying it's day to day. I

10:29

would not play him for days. I'd rather

10:31

go in as a four and

10:34

have to play the five, then go in as

10:36

a two with a

10:38

Nick deep Giannis. They're

10:40

fourteen games behind the Celtics in the East. That's how

10:42

the Celtics. They're

10:45

awesome. Drew Holliday just signed a new deal.

10:49

Possibly the best

10:53

guard defensive player in the

10:55

NBA, I mean just defensively, probably

10:57

Wimby or seven

11:00

footer there now plays with the Timberwolves.

11:03

That was with the freaking Jazz. Uh huh, Rudy

11:05

Gobert, thank you, but Gobert has no

11:07

offense. But Joe Hollis had

11:09

a big deal. It was a few years, like a bunch

11:11

of money.

11:11

Oh, he's so scrappy. It's awesome.

11:13

Following the first round, what's more likely

11:16

to happen Bryson falls out of the top ten or

11:18

Tiger climbs into the top ten. Bryson

11:21

looking yesterday, Bryson was like heads and shoulders.

11:24

I haven't looked at all this morning because we did the radio show first.

11:26

Bryson was like three or four

11:28

strokes above the second place person.

11:30

Yeah, I think Shuffler's in

11:32

the lead.

11:33

Now Tiger when the day currently was

11:35

at minus one, but I don't think he finishes full round.

11:38

He finished eventually finished his full round and today

11:40

and today, and he ended at plus one after

11:43

like twenty holes, yes, after

11:45

eighteen holes. Got it?

11:47

So he hasn't started his second round, which will be today,

11:49

correct, got it? Okay,

11:52

so what do you think? I don't

11:54

think Tiger gets in the top ten. But you are all hateful about

11:56

Tiger and I even making the cut. You were

11:58

like, is not gonna make the cut? That talker to make the cut

12:00

just because you told me? Did you bet in Yeah? Okay,

12:02

good, I took the he will miss the cut. Oh

12:04

yeah, I'm sure it did.

12:07

That's kind of a douche thing to do. Ah, man, it

12:09

was the favorite that he would miss

12:11

the cut. He would miss the cut at minus

12:13

one fifteen. Maybe

12:15

it shifted a bit, oh really?

12:16

Oh yeah, probably it was about but

12:19

minus one fifteen's about it, even though that's close

12:21

to you.

12:21

Think it was like minus one fifteen to minus

12:24

one oh five? Yeah, I should look.

12:25

And I did bet Tiger to make the cuts, only

12:28

because you're a jerk.

12:29

That's all, all right? That is the tittle

12:31

tattle name the

12:34

Tittle Tattle came.

un date you with Arkansas stuff when it's it's

14:45

a pretty national story.

14:46

Now that's a big story, dude. So I was

14:49

there.

14:50

We were going to go at a lecture. This is the worst

14:52

timing ever. I was there for three days,

14:55

and in those three days, which had been scheduled months

14:57

ago, I was going to go and teach

14:59

five classes, do

15:01

some meetings, do some

15:04

picture stuff for the university. I

15:07

was awarded a medal.

15:08

What do you mean for like a magazine? Like, what do you mean?

15:10

Picture stuff for the university.

15:12

We went to because they have the walk, the

15:14

senior Walk, where they engrave your name. Everybody

15:16

graduates gets your name and graved in this. Oh I'd never

15:18

seen mine, so I went. We took a picture

15:20

at it, and they brought their photographer out and they

15:23

took pictures at the ward ceremony where the game of the medal.

15:25

So all this was scheduled

15:28

forever ago. Well must leaves

15:30

Cali Perry gets announced. And that was just a

15:33

wild time. And my

15:35

final of the trip was a lecture

15:38

at six pm. But three hundred people were coming

15:40

to the lecture, not a class. Anybody could

15:42

come in the other times it was classes that I was speaking

15:44

to. The lecture was scheduled for

15:46

six pm on Wednesday, They're like, Okay,

15:48

the cal press conference is gonna be six pm on Wednesday.

15:50

Oh boy, see you lecture cut

15:54

couldn't do that, so

15:56

you had to do it. Well.

15:58

The weather was getting really bad and

16:01

the university flew me to

16:04

Arkansas and back on their jet

16:07

and they were like, if we don't leave early,

16:11

you're gonna have to miss doing your lecture. You

16:13

will not be able to get home tonight at all.

16:15

And I had to do the radio show obviously the next morning,

16:18

and so we had to leave it.

16:19

Like four read We left like

16:21

four thirty I think.

16:22

So didn't get to do the lecture. They had to send a note

16:25

out going sorry, we had to cancel a lecture. I know they

16:27

all thought I went to the press conference.

16:28

I know they did. I didn't.

16:30

I didn't go to the press conference because we had to fly through a storm

16:32

to get here. I land

16:34

in time to watch the press conference. And

16:36

it's bizarre, dude, Yeah,

16:39

yeah, it's weird. I do want to ask you, is how

16:41

crazy is this?

16:42

It's crazy. It's weird and

16:44

it's amazing, but it's just weird.

16:46

Like I was watching them teach Caliparira

16:48

the hag call how to do it right, and he's like, what the

16:50

it?

16:51

I mean, he's seen it a million times. But that's going

16:53

to be so strange going into a culture that you've

16:55

never been a part of and learn everything. So weird.

16:58

It is, yeah, wildly bizarre.

17:00

And I also know a couple of things a gonna happen that people

17:02

from Arkants aren't used to.

17:05

Hopefully, if everything goes right, we will become the villain,

17:08

oh yeah, because everyone hates the winner. Because

17:10

we will win and we will get five star recruits. Yeah.

17:12

They gave him, you know, six seven million

17:14

bucks a year plus about

17:17

a five million dollar in IOL budget, which is

17:19

more than most other coaches make. And that's just in

17:21

I owe money. If

17:23

we win, we become the bad guy. We've always been the guy

17:26

that gets beat up on, the under dog, the

17:29

under hog.

17:30

Thank you.

17:30

Yeah, I do feel like he's got

17:33

some left to prove. He's

17:36

really got oh yeah. And I feel like he

17:38

even admitted while he was at Kentucky that he has to

17:40

change because the one of done system is gone. So

17:43

I think we're catching him at a good time. But

17:45

it's it's it's weird. It's weird first, awesome

17:48

second, but I know, awesome is gonna overtake weird, but

17:50

it's very positive feeling.

17:51

Everybody's excited.

17:52

They gave a standing ovation to the John

17:54

Tyson Tyson chicken Yeah was he there, dude?

17:58

He mentioned that John Tyson was just mentioned

18:00

at PEP rally. The entire arena got up

18:02

and gave him a standing ovation and they started playing

18:04

chicken fried over the top of a

18:06

little bit of chicken fry, and John Tyson's like,

18:08

really going to stand up?

18:09

Really? And John Tyson's an older guy. He's an

18:11

old man. How old is he?

18:13

He looks seventy years old?

18:15

How old seventy.

18:16

Looks like he's about sixty vibrant.

18:19

Worth two point eight billion.

18:20

Ah, it's amazing, and he has

18:24

him and Cali Parri have a relationship, have had

18:26

it forever. Steven's

18:28

family has also helped a bit, But John Tyson's

18:30

the one like he's our Santa

18:33

Claus. And I've

18:35

never seen the arena give a stand

18:37

I've never seen anybody give a standing ovation to a booster, and

18:40

they did.

18:43

Cry that's so crazy. It is awesome.

18:46

You know your your your stepdad Arkansas Keith.

18:48

He texted me and I said, are you He

18:51

was like, how about this Cali Perry this stuff? And I said, are

18:53

you excited? He goes, I'm actually worried. And

18:55

I said, why are you worried? Crickets?

18:57

He never responded this is two days ago.

18:59

I'm like, are you okay? Arkansas? Teith? Yeah,

19:02

clips got him. Why would he be worried. I

19:04

don't know.

19:05

Maybe he's worried like tickets go up or something, but that's really

19:07

how it happens.

19:08

Maybe it's

19:11

a big change, man, Like it's like he said,

19:13

it's a big change. And I will tell you Like my son,

19:16

he my ten year old, he loves Arkansas,

19:18

like just mainly because of you and you

19:21

know, all the gear that we have at home, and he's

19:23

just adopted this culture of just like, yeah,

19:26

I love Arkansas and he likes to watch all the great

19:28

time to come in and dude, it's a perfect

19:30

time for him to be a fan. Oh and

19:32

I tried caleff battle.

19:36

He wanted to know about that too. He said, hey,

19:39

cars in the portal? Can

19:41

you not go in there? Real quickly, he wasn't even there. I

19:43

couldn't go in the portal at all.

19:44

I didn't know what the whole was, so

19:46

if he comes, I have the card, but I

19:48

didn't.

19:48

He wasn't there. It did make me think,

19:51

like, Okay, you leave because

19:53

your coach is gone, you have no idea what the team's

19:55

gonna do. And then all of a sudden, Calipari

19:59

is your your new head coach. But you've already

20:01

entered the portal. Is there any way coming back?

20:03

Yes, But I think it's a

20:05

sword because a lot of players, when they

20:07

get in the portal, significant

20:09

of them aren't. It's not because they want to get the portal. It's because

20:11

they're told that there's nowhere on the team for them, so

20:14

they should get in the portal.

20:15

They're not gonna play. I would say that wasn't

20:17

his case because there was no

20:19

one in the roster.

20:19

My point is the coach can also dictate if

20:22

he if well use Klef as an

20:24

example, and I don't know either way, so it's not a

20:26

real example. But let's say he stayed on the team,

20:29

Calipari I could get in and be like Calibre.

20:31

It's Calipiri, by the way, I like, it's

20:33

the real pronunciation.

20:34

You know what. It's a pair, like a pair. They said that in the

20:36

press conference and I'm like, what an idiot, like, it's a r

20:39

I I know, but it's Caliperio.

20:41

Okay, I know.

20:41

I'm working on saying because I would always say Calipari

20:43

is in Calamari. Yeah yeah, And I do like

20:45

and I hate it when they do like the little folksy stuff.

20:48

But I don't mind caw those hogs instead of call those hogs

20:50

cal those.

20:51

I doesn't mind that.

20:52

And usually it's pretty lame and they don't say, let's

20:54

caw those hogs.

20:55

But that was like the what they wrote those

20:57

hogs. Yeah, I though that was good.

20:58

I do.

20:58

I think the school's having so much fun with it, and

21:00

it's cool to see like they're having a blast, even

21:02

the press conference with like smoke and everything making

21:04

it look like well like a wrestler's coming out.

21:07

If Cayleff would have stayed on, Caliperray could have come

21:09

in and been like, hey, you need to go ahead and go. The

21:12

coach can also dictate who're on the team, so

21:14

I think there was we don't have a single scholarship

21:17

player on the team right now.

21:18

None. Everybody got in.

21:19

The portal and people were like, whoa, you should have

21:21

gotten into the portal. No, No, you probably

21:23

should because you didn't know who the coach was. You get it earlier

21:26

understanding of what's out there. Maybe

21:28

you'll be invited. But if you don't accept

21:30

anything, you can still be invited by the current coach, and

21:33

if he comes and doesn't want you, at least you've already got a heads

21:35

up and a leg toward your future.

21:37

I would have gotten the portal too, Yeah, that makes sense

21:40

if I.

21:40

Were them, so, but he

21:42

was not there, so

21:45

I did not get it signed.

21:46

I did see the one player that was on the roster there

21:48

walk on like there's

21:50

just one dude. Yeah, so when

21:53

do you meet coach? Like, when do

21:55

you Honestly, they offered him for this show

21:59

exclusive.

22:00

It's not an exclusive. He's already done like four things. Okay,

22:02

forget that then, it's just we weren't

22:05

able to stay for the press conference. And I'm

22:07

sure he's doing seven thousand

22:10

interviews saying the same thing in every interview because he's tired.

22:12

I've been in that situation too, where I'm it's

22:15

like a movie or a book,

22:17

or like they do movies or there's some sort

22:20

of charity thing I'm doing where you line up with like seventy

22:22

TV stations back to back, and you just start

22:24

to say the same thing because you're just tired.

22:26

You forget what you've said in the other interviews. And we

22:29

don't even do big interviews on the radio show

22:31

if they're doing a press tour. And

22:33

so I didn't want to be a part of that

22:36

because we won't get the real

22:38

version. I'd rather just go

22:40

and a couple months hang

22:43

out because we're not gonna get anything right now that isn't

22:45

super controlled.

22:47

Are you excited to meet him? No?

22:50

No, I don't want to fly too

22:52

close to the sun. I've made the reference again

22:55

where if I get too involved

22:58

and then I don't like somebody really sucks

23:00

because it's like my favorite thing in the whole world, and

23:03

I think I would like him, but

23:05

you never know.

23:06

But I don't know, and I don't want to not.

23:08

It almost makes me want to to withdraw

23:10

a bit from it and just enjoy it as

23:12

only a fan.

23:14

And that's what I did with Muss.

23:15

I didn't know Muss until like year two and a half

23:18

because I was like, I just want to be a fan.

23:19

I don't want to lose that.

23:22

Because there were people like I'm glad I didn't know Boby Petrina

23:25

when he was the head coaching though he's winning because

23:27

people hate him that we were up there to work with him.

23:29

For him, he's chilled a bit now, I believe.

23:31

But

23:35

according to stories that I've heard, it

23:38

was really awful to work for. I wouldn't

23:40

want to know that while it was happening. What I

23:42

like to know now is that apparently he's chilled out a lot,

23:45

has been humbled.

23:46

It's still great at his job, and

23:48

it's rock and rolling like that. That's what I want to

23:50

know.

23:50

So I have no real interest

23:53

in like being buds, although

23:56

I do. I've interested being buds if he's cool, but

23:59

I just don't want And I just don't know if he's not cool

24:01

or if he like Big Times me, I

24:03

wouldn't like that either. Yeah,

24:06

so I just don't I'm good. I'm a fan. I'm

24:08

a fan first, of course. I mean, that's what

24:11

you've always been to Arkansa.

24:12

So I'm in first.

24:13

I just have more money to donate now, but

24:16

I don't ask for anything because with the money

24:19

I donate because I'm a fan, I for ever gets to the point where it's

24:21

like, well, I doing it too much money, then I'm

24:23

gonna stop donating.

24:24

Yeah, because I don't want to. I don't know. I don't want

24:26

that relationship. I know that does happen to some people, Yeah,

24:29

are doing it money. I don't.

24:31

I just don't want to get a conflict about it because my favorite thing.

24:33

I don't want to run him. Pope's going to Kentucky,

24:35

not the Pope. That's when I saw you post that, I'm

24:37

like, wow, the Pope.

24:38

Oh, I was only posting as a joke.

24:40

The Pope is going to get It's like their fifth,

24:43

sixth, seventh choice. Like the Kentucky was like, let's get

24:45

count Perry out of here, run them off, and

24:47

they're like, for sure, we're gonna get And they

24:49

started going hurly at Yukon Nope.

24:52

Yeah, Scott drew

24:54

a Baylor Nope. Yeah.

24:56

Who else? Did they go to? Billy Donovan?

24:59

He can't and nope.

25:02

I mean it's like they're fifth or sixth

25:04

on the list. But Pope played

25:06

at Kentucky. Yeah, and he played. He was a pretty coach

25:08

at BYU.

25:09

Yeah, he was awesome. They had a great season.

25:10

He has I think he only has one year of like major

25:14

conference experience.

25:15

Yeah, theyk got seven mid major I

25:17

know the fans.

25:18

I know. Matt Jones was like, if we hire Pope, this is

25:20

a terrible, terrible time. It's a disaster

25:22

because we have a ton of money.

25:24

All these guys should have said yes.

25:26

So I know that fan base isn't happy, but that doesn't

25:29

mean it's not going to turn out. Well, but I

25:31

know Kentucky likes a splash. I

25:33

would consider them the biggest

25:37

most known blue blood to me, and

25:40

you don't hire somebody who's only had.

25:41

A year.

25:44

And Power four or five whatever

25:46

conference play, you know, Power whatever basketball

25:49

is, especially with the conference.

25:51

Is going away as well.

25:51

But yeah, yeah, after being turned down, Kentucky

25:54

is going over to BYU's Mark Pope.

25:57

Pope is a Kentucky graduate nineteen ninety

25:59

six, one a national title there, he's taken.

26:02

Maybe he's played, he's had two years of experience

26:04

at BYU.

26:05

Well, he was the head coach at Utah Valles,

26:08

so let me sit here. Maybe he's had more than that.

26:10

Maybe I'm wrong about how many years he's had as a coach, and

26:13

I've been wrong before number

26:16

the first time. Maybe I just trod a tweet it's going to make fun

26:18

of them and took that as a gospel. Mike,

26:20

you may look at this. Always been there for five

26:23

years. Okay, so his five years a head coaching experience a

26:25

BYuT b Yu.

26:26

Yeah, he's gone one hundred and ten fifty too.

26:28

At Byu was the head coach at Utah Valley

26:30

before going seventy seven and fifty six and four

26:32

years, so he's had nine years coaching five major

26:35

conference. Pope is obviously

26:37

really liked there, but I don't think they liked him as the

26:40

main dude, really, they don't.

26:42

They had other people they wanted. Scott Drew. The thought

26:44

they were getting Scott Drew. Yeah, they had

26:46

the plane in Louisville, Scott

26:49

Drew.

26:49

They saw Taylor in Waco.

26:52

They saw No, they saw Scott Drew's plane

26:54

in Louisville.

26:55

Oh yeah, I think he probably his

26:57

fa like his family was there, right, yes, even though

26:59

he was yes, correct, he was like a diner

27:02

And they found that out and they called the diner.

27:05

I get it.

27:06

But Natos said no before it was even a deal.

27:08

And NATO's came out before the

27:10

job was officially open and was like, hey, I load

27:12

Alabama I'm looking to go anywhere. Yeah,

27:14

Natos is awesome. Jay

27:16

Wright wouldn't come out of retirement.

27:18

I saw even Bruce Pearl was considered.

27:21

And I think they would have liked to have hired Bruce

27:23

Pearl because it'd been a bigger splash.

27:25

I love Bruce Pearl. I'm glad Bruce Pearl didn't

27:27

go to Kentucky.

27:29

Imagine what he would do with that, right, he started

27:31

Auburn into a really consistently

27:34

great team. Well, I would say it really consistently

27:36

really good team. But yeah,

27:39

so Pope's gonna go over there.

27:41

What's the longest a team can go without having

27:43

a coach.

27:43

Well, the problem is you're losing recruits and not getting

27:46

recruits.

27:46

You can go.

27:47

We mean, you could have waited another month, but

27:49

it hurts because you're not raising money. All the recruits

27:51

are going to wherever you lose all the recruiting from the previous

27:53

coach, you have nobody else going. It's

27:56

a disaster to leave it open for more

27:58

than a couple of days.

27:59

It makes sense.

28:00

They're always working man all

28:02

a year round.

28:03

I talked to an unnamed head

28:05

coach. I'm only gonna

28:07

not name him because I don't want to. He probably wouldn't

28:09

care if I said who it was, but I'm

28:11

I talked to he's a head coach.

28:13

Who I am.

28:14

I wouldn't say friends with, but I'm buddies with more

28:16

than just acquaintances, meaning we'll text occasionally.

28:19

And I asked him about an iol. I

28:22

said, what's is that all you do? He said, it's

28:24

all I do. It sucks.

28:26

He goes, if I didn't care about the kids, I just wouldn't do

28:28

this anymore. And he

28:33

was comparing his and I all to other schools in his conference,

28:35

and he's like, we're only we only have about half of the money that these

28:37

other schools have in the conference, and like it's up to

28:40

me to figure it out how to get it.

28:42

And it's such a big part of what a head coach does.

28:44

Now, I mean, it's already hard enough

28:46

to be a head coach.

28:47

This is this is what I would do if I were

28:50

a program. And I

28:52

don't know why schools

28:54

haven't done this, And I'm sure there's a good

28:56

reason. I would hire full

28:58

time a and

29:01

I'm gonna use the word ambassador. I would hire

29:03

a full time a celebrity ambassador to

29:05

go and raise money for you that people think

29:07

it's cool to be around.

29:09

So so what does that celebrity do?

29:12

Go raise money because people will think it's

29:14

cool that celebrity is just there, like the coach

29:16

can do it a little bit. But let's say they hired Let's

29:19

say, uh, where'd your John?

29:21

Where's your me?

29:22

Sam Houston State? John Houston State, Sam

29:24

Houston John? So let's say what to John Houston?

29:26

Right?

29:27

And Sam Houston was like, we're gonna hire a celebrity

29:29

ambassador. It's gonna be Eddie And like, oh my god, Eddie's

29:31

so famous. They hire you full time. And what

29:33

you do is you go around and people think is cool that you come and talk

29:36

and you raise money to big boosters. Okay, and

29:38

it's not like you're just going as a random dude. You're

29:41

going as a celebrity. Everybody loves celebrities. Yeah,

29:44

so like what celebrity? And but you know, you either have to

29:46

hire a celebrity has something to do with your school, or hired

29:48

like the biggest one for your school, or hire a few

29:50

of them.

29:52

But I think people like to give

29:55

money when it makes them feel special and

29:57

cool. What's cooler than h

30:00

Johnny Cash, Yeah, cash for sure,

30:02

Johnny Cash, Yeah,

30:05

Billy Bob like John Daily.

30:07

Sure, there could be a little arsenal of them. And

30:09

I think you rate you have to pay him.

30:11

Yeah, I think you could really raise some money in that.

30:14

I mean, that's what I would do.

30:16

And so you raise all this money and your

30:18

pot is there and you say, hey, awesome

30:21

basketball player, we have this much money. Yeah.

30:23

So what happens is when someone goes into the portal, especially

30:28

one player specifically that I heard about wasn't in Arkansas

30:30

anything, but was at a school

30:33

not this last year of the year before, big time portal kid,

30:36

And I do no exact information, so I'll leave it vague.

30:39

Was making like that'd

30:41

be a little bag here, not six figures close

30:45

in ile money, but it was a big deal.

30:49

Opened up.

30:49

So I'm going to the portal surprised everybody because

30:51

he's an awesome player. His

30:54

lowest offer, when again

30:56

it was almost six figures, his lowest

30:58

offer immediately was half a million dollars. Seeing he

31:01

had offers for over a million and a half dollars and

31:03

that's all in IL money, and

31:06

you can offer whatever you want to offer, so

31:09

and.

31:09

There's no cap on in I ol money first.

31:11

No, not yet, and you can donate whatever, like

31:13

going to get ugly. Yeah, well, there's gonna

31:16

have to be some regulation, but it's gonna

31:18

have to be broken, broken, broken before somebody steps

31:20

here to fix it. But you can raise as much

31:22

as you want and do as much as you want. What's really hard

31:24

for like the middle sports.

31:27

Football makes the most money for programs he's

31:30

talking about, like track and field. Uh, sure, football

31:32

makes the most money. Basketball makes money a bit,

31:34

and there are outliers in this, but mostly football

31:37

makes all the money that sports. Almost everything else in

31:39

basketball sometimes makes money, and everything

31:41

else they probably lose

31:43

money. Football kind of supports it all generally

31:46

speaking. Yeah, But like softball,

31:48

for example, which with

31:51

Patty coach Gaso being head coach at Oklahoma,

31:54

I've been exposed to just being around the

31:56

softball culture a bit in Oklahoma City a couple of times

31:58

for championships DA DA and

32:00

now DJ coaches at Arkansas, Like

32:03

I got on yesterday and just

32:05

donated ten thousand dollars to the softball in IOL

32:09

just so they can have it in case

32:12

they need to go. Okay,

32:14

we want to get this person in the portal. We want

32:16

to there are no

32:18

you can I could have done it myself. I

32:20

could have just hired some you know, I could have reached out and be

32:22

like, hey like

32:25

to hire you for some and I or you

32:27

can give it to the like the

32:29

organization which like the nil fund

32:31

it fund fund is that where the checks made out to

32:33

in il fund the like

32:36

I've always worried.

32:37

That, you know, I can tell you how do we make the checkouts?

32:39

You have the receipt right here.

32:44

That's a crazy world, man.

32:47

So the receipt is with

32:49

like an egg plan on it.

32:52

It doesn't really I don't so there's

32:54

no such thing as a check right It's all digital.

32:55

It's credit card. So like, that's the

32:57

receipt. You can look at.

32:59

It and at the bottom it says you can put it into

33:01

general which they get to pick what they do with

33:03

it, or you can send it to basketball, which I'm sure a lot of peoples doing,

33:05

or football. I was like, I clicked

33:08

and scrolled, golled scrolls and scrolled and did

33:10

softball.

33:11

So this is the same as like donating to a charity.

33:13

Yes, just donating to in iol college

33:17

athletics.

33:17

And with this, if they do their collective

33:21

in a proper way that what they do

33:23

is they get the athletes to do charity work. Yeah,

33:26

to make the money. So

33:28

but yeah, so it's wild West.

33:30

It's crazy.

33:31

And I've you know, I when you and I did the show and

33:33

just donated all to inn IL. We just sent it to the general at

33:35

Arkansas. We sold out the place in Arkansas

33:37

to take all the money. Never even touched us.

33:40

It wasn't even a donation from us. We

33:42

just played the show and we said all the money can go

33:44

to INNIL and we'd let them handle the ticket

33:46

out it because it wasn't then it's not taxical,

33:48

it's nothing.

33:49

We're nothing.

33:50

We did all the raising and we know we're probably

33:53

able to donate thirty forty thousand dollars that night.

33:55

I'm not sure.

33:56

I didn't want to know because

33:58

they didn't pay me, The didn't pay you. That money

34:01

was donated and hopefully a bunch of kids do a

34:03

bunch of charity work because of that.

34:04

Please that'd be nice, dude. How does this affect

34:06

pro sports? Like when you go in

34:08

for as in the past, you go in

34:10

the get signed to you know, you get

34:12

drafted by the NBA and you have a

34:15

rookie contract, but you're

34:17

already making some good money, So now the rookie

34:19

contract is like, well, whoa, whoa whoaa, like that could

34:22

be maybe lesser.

34:23

Equal, definitely could be less. So it affects

34:25

it in two major ways. One, it will keep

34:28

kids in college a little longer. That we're kind of on. Maybe

34:30

if you're like a second round, mid second round

34:32

where your contract's not guaranteed at all,

34:35

if you can make another

34:37

year of more INIL money, then you wait a year and

34:39

get the same contract, kids will stay

34:41

in college longer. You were already

34:43

seeing that a bit within iol Secondly,

34:46

for kids that make a bunch of money, scouts

34:52

or executives

34:55

at teams can already kind of see what money does to

34:57

them, which is a bonus because that

34:59

would never happened before. You would go from being a

35:01

kid who didn't have a lot of money or some money under

35:04

the table, but not consistent that you couldn't

35:06

show off because it was illegal. But like

35:08

Caleb Williams made five million bucks

35:10

or so last year, he's gonna make less money on a

35:12

contract if they already know what he He's already

35:15

been exposed to that to have the

35:17

ability to buy whatever he wants and

35:20

not go as crazy. It was almost

35:22

like if you're going from

35:24

not making any money to making a ton of money. It's like homeschool

35:26

kid going to college.

35:27

Sure they're gonna go eight they

35:31

might, some of them do. It's like a culture show.

35:33

Some of them do. You're gonna go for it.

35:34

And now it's a bit like you

35:36

did junior college for a couple of years. Absolutely

35:39

so, or at least a massive high school, right,

35:41

right, a massive high school.

35:42

So the transition's pretty easy.

35:43

But there needs to be some regulations, but

35:47

it's never going to be regulated until it gets to the government

35:49

officials, and it's not broken enough

35:52

for it to matter.

35:53

And the only way the government.

35:54

Ever fixes anything politicians is if they think it's going to affect

35:56

their voting, because they really don't care about people. They just want to

35:58

get reelected, generally speaking. But

36:01

it's a weird time. It's cool time.

36:02

It's a great time for Arcis have to be Arkansas fans

36:04

awesome, and it's

36:06

almost playoff time in the NBA. The NBA season

36:08

is in full swing. I mean, it's it's

36:10

good. Now.

36:11

They're playing hard, Yeah, they're

36:14

playing hard. They're playing hard. And even if it's

36:16

like I don't want to play the defense, Yeah, they're playing

36:18

defense.

37:22

Okay, so I have a list of things that I wanted

37:24

to get to. I'm gonna go down my list. First of all, I have

37:26

to go to the doctor today because I

37:28

think I even

37:31

maybe mildly tore my rotator cot oh

37:33

boy, and I think I

37:35

first injured it. And the

37:38

episode it's not out yet unless we've

37:40

showed it on the maybe just the TV show.

37:41

Here are we showing Oklahoma State?

37:45

Yes? Too much access? Yes? Is it this week?

37:48

Was it last week?

37:49

Is that week?

37:49

Yeah? Okay? So the episode this week?

37:52

I remember hurting my arm, but

37:54

mostly it felt okay, went,

37:57

but it hurts for like three weeks. Do you think you did this during

38:00

softball? I know I did softball or

38:02

baseball. I just know we I threw a lot while I

38:04

was there because we did

38:06

two different episodes, and

38:08

so they went to Arkansas. I was just hurting me the whole

38:10

time, whole time, and I

38:12

threw the first pitch. Felt a

38:14

little bit, but I didn't throw it that hard. You can see

38:16

me. I'm on the mound at the baseball game. I

38:19

wasn't even gonna get.

38:20

On the mound. You're gonna do

38:22

it, You're gonna do it, right. I don't believe in that, because if they

38:24

don't, if you don't tell them you want to go on the mountain, they

38:26

put you right in front of the plate.

38:28

For like a there's pitch. There's

38:31

no win in the first pitch. I'm telling you, if you throw

38:33

it great, nobody gives a crap. You thought it wrong. Every it makes

38:35

funny forever and it exists.

38:37

But dude, when you're up there.

38:38

But I was up there and I was like, I can get it

38:40

there and look pretty good.

38:41

So I threw it. It's up on my Instagram. Mister Bobby Bones,

38:43

look what you do. Fastball.

38:45

But you looked at you'd probably think change up. But it was fastball.

38:50

That's a nice change.

38:51

That's a big slur, big slow curve.

38:53

No, no, no, that was the heat but ma I

38:55

was like, man, I kind of feel that in my arm,

38:57

Like if you take your shoulder and you put your arms at your sides,

39:00

that very outside of your.

39:02

Shoulder, yep, like all

39:04

down that joint. It just feels like fire.

39:07

So the next day we had planned to go work out with

39:09

softball and I

39:11

did, and I threw a lot

39:14

and it just kills and everything I've

39:16

looked up and researches in the exact spot rotator

39:18

cut. It doesn't feel like it needs to be rubbed where

39:21

it's like something that's like sore. So I have a

39:23

doctor appointment like forty five minutes and he's

39:25

like, I bet you have an injured rotator cuff. So

39:27

what if it's like a whole surgery deal, then

39:30

that will suck. If my shoulder is so bad,

39:33

we won't be able to go to Arizona.

39:35

That's not good. I know.

39:37

I feel like most of the time you have to get

39:39

surgery to fix that.

39:40

Raid's dad had it. Really, how do you hurt

39:42

his?

39:43

I think his was.

39:44

I mean, he grew up playing baseball and I think it's always

39:48

yeah, and then he got in a car wreck and it kind of shelted

39:50

it.

39:50

How much baseball did you play? You play all the way to senior year.

39:52

Oh, high school a lot. But I never heard it because I could

39:54

I couldn't throw that hard anyway.

39:56

I was just like a it was a good

39:58

first baseman, didn't hit for

40:00

power, so never never

40:02

was gonna play college baseball. But I was a good

40:05

I have all my trophies, all district, all region. Brought

40:07

him out for my wife and I was like, oh, I found him. I

40:09

didn't know I had them. I have, Like I was All

40:11

Defensive Player of the Year in the conference.

40:13

Like all this stuff. Wow, dude. So it was a pretty good baseball

40:15

player.

40:16

But and I pitched

40:18

like it's the fourth pitcher, but only because I was left handed.

40:20

But I couldn't throw hard enough to even hurt my arm.

40:22

Yeah, so I never had arm issues, but

40:24

now it's because I've not thrown it.

40:25

We've never what are we thrown?

40:26

And we just hop on a film start chunking just on screen.

40:29

Yeah, random week we go to a school and play.

40:31

So I had to go to the doctor today get some imaging

40:33

one on my shoulder. The Tani

40:36

situation clear, Yeah

40:38

he's clear.

40:40

Yeah, I mean

40:43

doesn't look it just doesn't look like he would

40:45

be clear, but it'd be clear him. He's clear. Yeah,

40:49

it kind of just it kind of.

40:50

Was like, here's all the things that

40:52

happened, and it looks like he's good. M So

40:55

federal prosecutors put out the

40:57

complaint against his former and

41:00

Herbert or I'm not going to attempt his name. Oh

41:02

yeah, I don't worry about it. We know who you're talking about. We'll

41:04

just call him miss that's

41:06

the first three letters of his name. Is accusing

41:09

him of stilling more than sixteen million dollars to

41:11

support his gambling addiction. Yeah, because

41:13

it was only like around five four and a half something

41:15

like that at first.

41:17

And so do they explain

41:19

why it was coming out of Otani's account?

41:21

So I read a report from Ken Rosenthal, the

41:23

rider, and so going

41:25

with a bow tie. I don't know what

41:27

he looks like. He just said his name, and I know his name

41:29

because I read his baseball article.

41:30

Yeah, I don't know if he's a little guy, but when I see him, he

41:32

kind of looks like a little guy with a little bow tie. The

41:35

complaint included,

41:37

oh that's him. Oh yeah, he looks

41:40

like who's

41:43

the football guy?

41:44

I think he may have died. He's

41:47

kind of skinny football guy. Yeah football talking

41:50

about the the guy that does the Olympics. I'll

41:53

get back to it. I think he might

41:55

die. Though he's no Mays,

41:57

baseball doesn't matter, moving on, Howard Kosel

41:59

no recent ESPN. Skinny,

42:01

little old guy, little tiny guy. So

42:07

for Otani, like it's the best case scenario, even

42:10

though it sucks because he lost sixteen million

42:12

bucks but he didn't notice it

42:14

was gone.

42:14

I guess no. I mean, and what

42:16

does he make?

42:17

But that doesn't I know that doesn't

42:19

matter. I agree, because I'd be fine that with

42:21

me.

42:21

I'd be pissed, sure, Like I don't have that

42:24

money, but if you find me a

42:26

thousand dollars, that hurts, like

42:28

I would cry for a couple of days.

42:29

He allegedly placed this is for

42:32

mis the interpreter nineteen

42:35

thousand bets in a three year span. He's

42:38

like me, at these breaks. It must be in those live bets.

42:40

Yeah, must be watching

42:43

the game, be like, ah, there's no way they're gonna

42:45

lose this game.

42:46

He must been dorm dudes. I

42:48

got my dorm dude's head on. I know, I like it looks

42:50

good. One if you want one to have

42:52

one, Okay, I have one. He plays

42:55

nineteen thousand bets, dude, I bet

42:57

you if they looked at our bets. And I'm

42:59

not nineteenth, but we're pretty high up there.

43:01

I bet. I mean every

43:03

night, every night, I bet about five or six bets

43:06

every night.

43:06

He bet nineteen thousand and a three year span.

43:08

Let's just break this down. So nineteen

43:11

thousand, So let's do eighteen thousand. That's six thousand

43:13

a year. Okay, So break that down.

43:15

That's three thousand for six months. Okay, so

43:18

break that down. That's fifteen

43:21

thousand. The way it's three thousand

43:23

for me. I've lost my numbers now

43:25

for a month and a half. That's a thousand buck.

43:27

I don't know I lost my numbers anyway, it's a lot. I'm

43:30

doing it with nothing in front of me. But if you can go down to but

43:32

here's how about you.

43:33

If you can go down to one hundred a week, which

43:37

it seems like if you would have kept going with that with that

43:39

scale, I'm gonna do it. I get a pin. Okay, come on.

43:41

So let's just say it's eighteen thousand, nineteen thousand, nineteen

43:44

thousand, bets. So let's do eighteen

43:46

thousand bets on a three year span.

43:49

That's six thousand bets a year. Okay,

43:51

okay, six thousand bets.

43:54

And let's break that into

43:56

two. That's three thousand bets

43:59

for six months. That's fifteen hundred

44:01

bets for three months.

44:02

Okay, still doable, Go

44:05

ahead, keep going. Yeah, I know, I'm

44:07

telling you, dude, we get down to one hundred.

44:09

But the money we wouldn't do because it ranged from the

44:11

bucks to one hundred and sixty thousand dollars a bet. The

44:13

number that's crazy is the amount of bets. So

44:16

five hundred bets a month.

44:18

Let's go, that's four

44:20

weeks. I'm telling you.

44:20

It's one hundred and two

44:23

hundred and fifty bus bets a week.

44:26

No, no, a month, so one hundred and twenty

44:28

five bets a week.

44:30

I bet you I'm close to that.

44:33

I got like sixteen a day.

44:34

I haven't said I bet you yeah,

44:37

but I guess I guess what's crazy is this wasn't his money.

44:40

Yeah.

44:41

I don't do sixteen a day every

44:43

day though for a year, right, it's not everybody

44:46

During.

44:46

College football I will do like forty yeah,

44:48

and on Sundays alone. I'll do golf probably

44:51

ten on golf, ten on NASCAR,

44:54

and but that's like five times

44:56

a year. You do it like that?

44:58

No, no, no, every Sunday. But NASCAR

45:00

doesn't happen every Sunday.

45:01

Yeah it does. There's something happening every Sunday

45:04

and then on Saturday. I think there's a

45:06

UFC fight pretty much every week.

45:08

They'll take like some weeks, how much are you betting a

45:10

dollar? Five dollars a fight? I'm up

45:12

to five dollars. This guy was betting at times one hundred and sixty

45:14

thousand dollars A bit okay, a little different,

45:19

dude, that's crazy, but

45:21

but real talk, real talk, What does that do to your heart?

45:24

Or is he just numb to?

45:26

Like?

45:26

How did you get much access

45:29

to his financials?

45:30

That's what I'm saying, dude. It's still a little shady.

45:32

So what this says, turns out the interpreter this

45:34

is from the Atlantic. Now the interpreter helped Otwanni

45:36

set up accounts then eventually impersonated

45:38

him on the phone with bank officials to authorize large

45:41

transactions. If true or

45:43

like, we have to believe it is what it is we're supposed to believe it. He is moving

45:46

on, but you don't believe we landed on the moon. But also

45:48

I do. I just think that there's some stuff that are hiding

45:50

from us.

45:51

Right.

45:52

But if somebody in

45:54

power did find out that Otani was involved,

45:56

this is a great way to cover it up.

45:59

We got to create story. He's gonna be the fall guy, and

46:03

fall guy is cool with it, right, Yeah, he's

46:05

got to be cool with it. There's still buds, they're

46:07

still friends, probably not outwardly. If

46:10

he really stole from him, no chance. If this is

46:12

a story, it's now.

46:15

But here's the thing.

46:16

How does he not have with Otani

46:18

making the money he has, how does he not have

46:20

a business manager watching his Because interpreters aren't

46:23

the person that runs his money. He has people running his

46:25

money too. That's why it just doesn't

46:27

shake out to me, like this is it the end?

46:29

But people from other countries, dude, they may not

46:32

do things that somebody who's a multi

46:34

multi multi million I get it, But if you're not

46:36

used to working with financial.

46:37

It's not like he's pooping in a hole in the yard. It's

46:40

not. It's not. It's it's

46:42

not. I will tell you too though, man, like if

46:44

this, if you ever asked me to take

46:46

the fall for you, but you take care of me, it's

46:48

all good. Let's do it. Yeah. Prison would be tough

46:50

though, Oh no no, not prison. No

46:53

no, no, no, no no, not

46:56

that kind of fault prison

46:58

prison tough, yeah, dude,

47:01

because it won't be tough. I'll do some, but

47:04

it just meant like fire me, you know.

47:07

But if it's like a year in a

47:09

minimum security JA minimum

47:12

security, so that's much.

47:13

I know.

47:13

Hold on, but I give you two million dollars

47:16

for a year in minimal security jail, and I'm going to take care of

47:18

you.

47:18

With two million dollars. Is there a chance of me getting

47:20

out good behavior? I don't know.

47:22

We just have to say minimum security. It's

47:24

like where what's it dude? The

47:26

reality show guy Chris, Yeah, that's

47:28

where he is, right, So it's not great,

47:30

But you're not probably being shanked.

47:32

Two million after taxes. Sure

47:37

it's hypothetical, why not? Yeah, yeah,

47:39

I think it's worth it. So that's about three million

47:41

from me. Then kids, sit down, I gotta talk to you. That's

47:44

what I'm saying. Oh, Tony could cover that.

47:47

That not to cover pretty easily. It's tough,

47:49

man, I speak to you.

47:51

Would you go to the Big House for I

47:53

don't I mean, I don't need money. Okay,

47:56

would you go to the Big House for National

47:59

Championship football and basketball same year?

48:02

Yeah?

48:02

Yeah, j will be tough because

48:04

I for sure be holding someone's pocket and the guy

48:06

would also be like, yeah, we don't do that here. This is I'm scurity.

48:08

I'm like, no, I want to though, you

48:11

don't have to do that. No, no, no, I feel like it's my duty.

48:14

It's when I cover my bases. Oh

48:18

I was, I have two more things to tell you, then we'll

48:20

shut it down here. On our last episode,

48:23

I was gonna tell you what I bet on DraftKings because

48:25

I bet before nineteen thousand bets a year,

48:29

so the Masters. I

48:31

enjoy betting the Masters. I like having somebody in on Sunday,

48:33

but I like to bet them early.

48:34

Okay, yeah, but did you bet this before the

48:37

master started at all?

48:37

Before so best odds

48:40

and I bet everything that was in my account, meaning

48:42

it was like.

48:43

A thousand bucks. Yeah, you didn't have a lot.

48:44

Man, I take it out. I

48:47

take it out so I don't spend it now. There's nothing

48:49

to bet.

48:49

I don't want to go.

48:50

I don't have board money in there. Board money

48:52

means I spend it. I don't bet enough

48:54

during football. I don't have to worry about board money because

48:56

it's all it's getting played, it's getting used.

48:59

So here

49:02

are the bets that I made. Let me click open.

49:06

I have, Oh this is not

49:08

a good one.

49:09

Tiger making the cut. I have plus one ninety

49:12

Jordan Speed's top ten. Oh no, it's

49:14

not looking good for him. What's see right now?

49:15

Because he was like plus last I saw was plus seven?

49:17

Read would you be the looker upper or Mike one of you guys?

49:20

It's just not good.

49:21

So I bet five hundred bucks on Jordan Speed's

49:24

to be top ten.

49:25

Dude, how does a past winner

49:28

just have bad day?

49:30

Go?

49:30

Get this? Hold on, let's let's move on here.

49:33

I have Jordan's Speed plus twenty five hundred

49:35

to be the outright winner. I bet fifty

49:37

bucks there, make thirteen hundred. It

49:39

really wasn't a huge investment there. The five hundred one

49:41

was that sucks. I have

49:43

Tiger Woods outright winter just because it was

49:45

fun to bet.

49:47

I did that one time. When he wants I.

49:48

Can cash out for forty six cents. Now I bet ten dollars,

49:51

yeap, cash that one

49:53

out. I have Tiger Wood's top ten just

49:56

for fun to route for Tiger how much fifty bucks

49:58

to one five hundred. I

50:00

have Tiger Woods any bogie free round.

50:03

Okay, it's a plus twelve hundred, so so you

50:05

need him to do well today about fifty

50:07

bucks to win six fifty. All these so

50:10

far losers, like I

50:12

know, they're all loser. I'm pretty sure last year he

50:14

had a bogie free round, maybe two years ago. And my final

50:16

bet is Tiger Woods to make the cut minus

50:18

won twenty five. So to make the cut was a favorite when I got

50:20

ahold of it, and it was okay, yeah yeah,

50:23

and I

50:25

bet two hundred and ninety bucks. It must have been all I had left,

50:27

Oh my god at the end to make five twenty

50:29

two.

50:29

He's tinkering with that line today, but.

50:31

That jordan' Spea's top ten five hundred bucks is

50:33

really that's gonna be the one that kicks me in the nuts?

50:36

How are we doing?

50:37

He's tied for seventy ninth

50:39

plus seven, and then

50:41

he's what holds me on.

50:43

He's through two today and he's even that's

50:46

good.

50:46

But he's got a what's the line

50:48

going to be today? I mean I would think the way it is

50:50

now maybe two or three plus.

50:53

I can still get there. He can still get there. He's got

50:55

to get to it. Man, Let's go Jordy Okay,

50:58

I did do a last minute Tommy would

51:00

outright winter he did plus twenty five hundred.

51:03

I don't know. Sometimes I just watch, I watch. I

51:05

never know golf. I have no idea.

51:06

I never win golf. You never know, never win golf.

51:09

No, I never know, and I never win golf.

51:10

What's crazy, too, though, is like you look

51:13

at these I mean, for years, Dustin

51:15

Johnson, who

51:17

else, Deschambau and all

51:20

these guys that, like we would watch all year

51:22

round, you knew how they were doing. But now

51:24

that they're in live, I don't know how they're doing.

51:27

I don't know how they've been playing. That's

51:29

that's tricky.

51:30

Two other things Packers Eagles on Friday night in Brazil Week

51:32

one regular season.

51:33

Saw that, But did you see that they they're

51:35

gonna wear green. Obviously, one team

51:38

has to wear green, but the

51:40

unspoken rule at that arena is

51:43

that their rival wears green so no

51:45

one ever wears green in that

51:47

stadium, Like the players

51:49

don't wear green socks, like nothing, no green

51:52

cleat the rival. What do you mean?

51:53

So like say the it's the Cowboys,

51:56

like Texas Stadium.

51:57

That their rival, their big rival is Philadelpha

51:59

Eagle. So no one ever at Texas

52:01

Stadium wears green, got it because they're

52:04

that's just kind of their customers.

52:05

So so the Eagles could wear silver

52:08

and white silver, and the Packers were yellow.

52:10

I mean, but there they green.

52:12

So they're like, what do we do? And

52:15

I'll say this I got and I

52:17

haven't done. I haven't been able.

52:18

I've been pretty busy, so I haven't really been able to do a bunch of breaks

52:20

drm dudes as much as I'd like to do because it was fun

52:23

for me. And they

52:25

have this thing they're called like big maybe it's

52:27

like it's

52:29

not called big hitters like full hitters. It's it's

52:32

a card thing. It's a baseball card thing. The

52:35

true No, it's one card.

52:38

It's something hitters.

52:39

And so I get in.

52:41

I don't know, yeah,

52:44

and I do. I do the hitter and

52:48

I have the audio of it, but it doesn't

52:50

matter. I just have the card and I win this card here,

52:52

Oh boy, here we go. It's

52:54

in your school binder, your portfolio over

52:56

there. So this is a twenty

52:59

eleven update Mike Trout rookie card. Wow,

53:03

and it's a Jim

53:05

meant ten.

53:06

That's the best of the best.

53:07

I looked up what this is? A

53:10

gym meant eight? Was eleven hundred bucks?

53:13

What an eight is? I

53:16

didn't see a gym meant ten like

53:20

that. There's a gold version two.

53:22

This is not the gold version, but the eleven hundred

53:24

bucks was this version here?

53:25

That was an eight? And

53:28

I hit this.

53:30

On dorm dudes, and I brought it in before I put it away. So

53:32

what do you think that's worth? If

53:35

if the eight is eleven hundred,

53:37

well that's what it's going for, right, So like, if

53:39

you can buy it now for eleven hundred, there's others

53:42

that are like seven hundred, eight hundred that were like sevens

53:45

and eights.

53:45

Are we talking five grande a you think?

53:47

No? I

53:51

mean I have it. It's if you look on the eBay page.

53:54

No, it's not that. I would probably say fortune or fifteen hundred

53:56

bucks.

53:56

That's awesome, dude, that's amazing

53:59

that a baseball card of a player

54:01

that's currently still playing is worth

54:03

that much? I bought it.

54:04

I showed Eddie I bought an Ernie Banks signature. So

54:06

cool, dude, so freaking cool.

54:08

I couldn't believe it was three hundred bucks. The

54:11

sale the auction was ending, and

54:13

I was like, this can't be Are they just gonna let them

54:15

go for three hundred bucks?

54:16

So I been on it real quick. Oneer

54:18

for three hundred dollars.

54:19

That's worth thre hundred bucks for I'm not even gonna sell that

54:21

that one.

54:22

Is there a handful of items that you have where you're like,

54:24

these aren't going anywhere?

54:26

No, but there's a handful that I don't want to sell,

54:30

and I'll struggle with selling it. George

54:32

Weston, I'm not selling that one I

54:34

bought that. I bought that one purposely

54:36

knowing when I was buying, and I feel like, I'm not going to sell

54:38

any of this stuff up purpose for which.

54:40

One the word or the signature signaure?

54:43

John F. Kennedy, I'll sell that. You're right, You're right.

54:46

I saw that one because I didn't know what I was getting. Yah, you got to get the word.

54:48

You gotta keep the.

54:49

Word the broncos helmet.

54:51

That's in front of us with Peyton Manning and John

54:54

Elway Keeper.

54:55

That's really cool. What

54:58

else is in front of Tom Brady? Tom Brady and then

55:00

the that's the tree Cowboys.

55:01

Cowboys, Michael Ervan, Troy Aikman, Smith,

55:04

it's Smith.

55:05

But that that broncos one is really cool.

55:07

Yeah, I don't want

55:09

to have to sell it, Eddie

55:12

Larry Bird keep it.

55:14

I'd sell that right now. If somebody wanted off

55:16

enough, there'd be a lot of money you'd

55:18

have to give me half.

55:19

People would buy it, for sure, they'd buy it, but

55:21

for not enough. It's so funny. It's worth more

55:23

than like it's worth more than like

55:26

three orour hundred bucks. If somebody said, I'll

55:28

give you fifteen hundred dollars for it, they

55:30

can have it. How much fifteen hundred

55:32

But nobody's gonna pay that because it's not worth that.

55:35

Somebody will. It's a piece of history, but it's my history,

55:37

and it's one of one man, one of one. And

55:40

there's also there's a story behind it. Oh my gosh,

55:42

let me tell you what happened. It's pretty crazy. But

55:45

unless you know the people involved, people only will know

55:47

Larry Bird right right right, you know what I mean. But then

55:49

they'll Google me and they'll be like, oh he's a real person,

55:51

cool and then not care

55:54

and then move on with their lives like he's a celebrity

55:56

from John Houston State, Sam Houston.

55:58

I know we're done.

56:01

That's it.

56:02

Thank you guys for being in whistling

56:04

56:05

Thank you for everything. Yeah, we don't

56:07

We're in the portal. This is what it's like. Yeah, hell,

56:17
