1:13

Mike

1:13

sure, we normally bring you on to talk about

1:15

baseball things, but today, we must

1:18

begin with one of the major pieces

1:20

of news. of the day, and that,

1:22

of course, is the retirement of Blake Bortles.

1:24

How devastating is that to you? You're

1:27

breaking the news to me. I had wires. Yeah.

1:30

Blake Bortles is retiring from professional

1:32

football.

1:33

legend. A straight

1:36

up legend. You know, we we

1:38

made Jason Mendoza on the good

1:40

place of Jacksonville Jaguars fan.

1:42

And we Joe Mandy, who was a writer

1:44

for the show, decided that at

1:46

a key moment when throwing a molotov

1:48

cocktail at a speedboat, which is like the dirt

1:51

baggiest thing you can possibly do, that

1:53

Jason does, it would yell bortles the way

1:55

that some people yell Kobe when they take shots

1:57

or whatever. just threw that in.

1:59

And so that we just had Jason

2:02

Mendoza say bortles all

2:04

the time. It became like a running joke.

2:06

A large number of people on

2:09

Twitter say if

2:11

the Jaguars were playing a primetime game,

2:13

a large number of people on Twitter, if you

2:15

searched for Blake Bortles, would say, Today,

2:18

I learned that Blake Bortles is a real person

2:20

and not a a made up character

2:22

from the good place. So

2:24

eventually, the Jacksonville Jaguars PR

2:28

people reached out to us. And they were like, hey,

2:30

we're so happy that you

2:32

are mentioning the team and Blake all

2:34

the time. And privately,

2:36

we were like, you are. Like, it's not

2:38

in a positive context, you

2:40

know. But they were really happy

2:42

and they were really cool. we

2:45

arranged they arranged for Manny

2:47

Hocento who played Jason to

2:49

go to Jack to go to a Jackival Playtech game.

2:51

The game where they one at home, like ten to three.

2:53

I think they beat the Steelers. He was at

2:55

that game. They, like, brought him like,

2:57

they put rolled out the red carpet they

2:59

sent us an enormous we got an enormous

3:01

box when they sent to the office. There was full of

3:03

Blake Bortles signed footballs and

3:06

and jerseys, like, I have, like,

3:08

seven signed Blake Bortles football.

3:10

How are we informing you on my list?

3:12

How are we informing? How are we breaking

3:14

up in the morning in Los Angeles? I

3:17

woke up at six fifteen to, like,

3:20

had some cereal and turned on Zoom, so

3:22

I could join your little show there. Oh,

3:24

I didn't check that. I check the show

3:26

again with our little show this

3:28

guy.

3:28

While we're eulogizing Blake Bortles, I

3:31

would quickly like to point out him and

3:33

Tim Tiboe, the bane of steelers

3:35

fan's existence in the twenty first century,

3:37

beating the steelers twice in twenty eighteen when

3:39

the steelers had healthy Avion Bell, Antonio

3:42

Brown, Ben Rabosberger. In

3:44

the regular season and in the playoffs throwing for

3:46

two fourteen yards in a forty five

3:48

to forty two win. when it was probably the

3:50

Steelers best chance to win a Super Bowl

3:52

before Roblesburg.

3:53

Not that you're holding onto the details.

3:55

Right. I mean, you want to We'll

3:58

always hold this facial place. Mike

3:59

And Mike called black dusty

4:02

heart.

4:02

Mike, I have to be honest.

4:04

I'm stunned that the Jacksonville Jaguars got

4:06

on board. The whole week, like, Jason

4:08

Mendoza is a character who's

4:10

in hell and is

4:13

talking about all of the things that are

4:15

bad with Jacksonville. And

4:17

-- Correct. -- using Lakeportals is

4:19

named it through a molotov cocktail in a boat

4:21

and they're like, that's our brand. just

4:23

appreciate it. They did not get the joke.

4:25

They didn't understand that it was an insult.

4:27

They were just thrilled that anyone was mentioning

4:29

Jackson built things on national

4:32

television. I think they did

4:34

get the joke, but I think that they were just

4:36

happy that the team was, like, relevant

4:38

in a pop culture way. The the funny

4:40

joke, in my opinion, that we ever told about the

4:42

jaguars, and we told, oh, wait, like, too

4:44

many of them, is there is a moment

4:46

where, at one point, Ted

4:48

Danson's character said that the said

4:51

in, like, a roast format that

4:53

the Jacksonville Jaguars sucked. And

4:55

Jason's response was, no, we don't. All

4:57

we need is an offense and a defense

4:59

and some rule changes. Winning

5:05

hand. We just got done talking

5:07

to Chelsea Handler, and I think

5:09

she might have sort of accidentally let

5:11

some stuff slip in some clues

5:13

there. with it seems

5:16

you guys you and Jeremy Tessier were

5:18

doing some sleuthing and you discovered

5:21

because she said Chelsea

5:23

later as a show. Yeah. So she

5:25

was talking about how

5:27

she is interested in getting back into late

5:29

night and reference her old e show

5:31

Chelsea Later, but her old e show is

5:33

called Chelsea Lately. And so

5:36

Jeremy and I were sort of theorizing there's

5:38

three things that could happen there. One, she can get

5:40

her own show, on a platform.

5:43

Two would be to be up for the

5:45

daily show, and three would be

5:47

to be up for James Corden's empty

5:49

slot on CBS. and

5:51

eventually take over after Stephen Colbert

5:54

and had it be Chelsea later. But

5:56

I I feel like that that

5:58

lack one would kind of be the most interesting to

6:00

me because it'd be a network late night show,

6:02

and and should have a chance to potentially

6:04

host it. Or or, you

6:06

misspoke. Well, yeah. There is that there

6:08

is that possibility. Mike,

6:11

where where

6:13

do you because you're someone who loves television,

6:15

what the the way that late night

6:17

television has changed. The way that

6:19

late night television has historically been

6:21

so homogenized in a way that's kind

6:23

of crazy. What do you

6:25

make of the changes presently going

6:28

on in the sphere where Trevor Noah says

6:30

seven years is about enough. I'm going

6:32

I'm going out into the standup

6:34

circuit and, you know, Kimbell

6:36

and Fallon and all of those guys

6:39

and so almost always guys exist

6:41

viral clips in the morning more than late

6:44

night television. Yeah.

6:45

It's night and day from when

6:47

I was involved, which

6:49

is a hundred years ago at SML. I

6:51

think the thing that Trevor Noah just did is the

6:53

single biggest change, which is it used to be

6:55

that when you got one of those jobs, that was your

6:57

job forever. You held onto that job as long as

6:59

you possibly could. that was the

7:01

you know, Carson did it for thirty years or

7:03

twenty nine years. And letterman

7:05

did it forever, then he moved to CBS and did

7:07

it for another forever. Konan

7:09

did it forever and then went to

7:11

the Tonight Show and would have done that forever

7:14

except for the fact that they split they

7:16

pulled the rug out from under him. It

7:18

wasn't a job that you left,

7:20

really. And now what you're seeing

7:22

is, you know, Stuart left

7:24

after I can't remember how many years a long time.

7:26

But he left at a time when he was still incredibly

7:28

popular and could have kept

7:30

going for another decade, was replaced by Trevor

7:32

Noah. And then after seven years, and this is a

7:34

generational thing, I think Trevor

7:36

Noah was like, alright, I'm good. Like, I got out of

7:38

this. This was fun. This was an experience

7:40

seven years is a long time. I'm gonna do do something

7:42

else. that wasn't the mentality of

7:44

late night hosts until very recently.

7:47

So these those jobs

7:49

used to come up once every fifteen

7:51

years or something. And now it seems

7:53

like maybe they're gonna come up three or four times

7:55

a decade. And part

7:57

of the reason is because they're not as

7:59

they're not as coveted. They're not it's not

8:01

as huge a deal to be on

8:03

at eleven thirty or twelve thirty. So

8:05

I think what you'll see is a lot more

8:08

change in general in the next

8:10

fifteen, twenty years than their heads been in

8:12

the previous twenty. And they'll

8:14

try a bunch of different stuff. They'll try,

8:17

I'm sure that woman will get her shot.

8:19

Finally, it's never happened. One of the one of

8:21

the storylines in the pilot of the show

8:23

acts is that she

8:25

was going to be the Gene Sparks

8:27

character was going to be the first woman who ever

8:29

got a late night talk show.

8:32

on network and that was in, like,

8:34

the seventies. And it

8:36

still hasn't happened in real life and it's

8:38

twenty twenty two. Like, it's mean, I guess you

8:40

can count Saman to b, but that wasn't technically in

8:42

network. So I think

8:44

you you'll see women get shots.

8:46

Finally, you'll probably see more

8:49

people have or get shots and

8:51

and who knows how long they'll

8:53

stick or decide to stick or whatever. I

8:55

think there will be a tremendous amount of turnover

8:57

in the next ten or twenty years of

8:59

this. So in this industry. Would you

9:01

include Joan Griffiths in that she

9:03

had owned Joan Fox before it

9:05

was canceled because For a brief Yeah.

9:07

Yeah. I guess that the

9:09

Jones River's thing is the was the inspiration,

9:11

I think, for the hacks storyline

9:13

because she was supposed to take over for

9:15

cars and in theory or

9:17

he was thinking about turning it over

9:19

to her, and then

9:22

she got the offer from Fox and left and

9:24

did it and it lasted for, like, six weeks or

9:26

something. And I don't think it lasted

9:28

much longer than that, and then that was sort of the

9:30

end of the story. And then he never forgave

9:32

her he was a pretty vindictive

9:34

dude apparently, and he was just like never talk

9:36

to her again for the rest of her life

9:38

because she had done that. And

9:40

then it's know, I guess that's true. Technically, that

9:43

was a that was a network

9:45

than primetime or nighttime

9:47

talk show. So

9:48

Yes. Got

9:50

me right. That's a on a technicality. That's

9:52

right. I'm trying to Gotcha. She just saw the

9:54

matter. She had told that she ended up rushing

9:56

all of her been

9:58

jumped on your neck

9:59

before we get what? Or or

10:02

I misspoke. Yes.

10:03

How about that? There it is. Yeah. Okay. There

10:05

you go. The end of the day is coming in a

10:07

moment. But before you came on, Mike, we were

10:09

talking about Brady, Tom Brady

10:12

and Giselle, and we were talking about

10:14

work life balance. And

10:16

one of the things that we did not mention

10:18

were the quotes from Bennett

10:20

Amalu on he wrote the

10:22

book brain damage in contact

10:24

sports. The movie concussion with Will

10:26

Smith is based on his work. We

10:28

also discussed that she might be a witch.

10:31

A good witch. Yes. Yes. And

10:33

Amalo is quoted as saying, if you

10:35

love your life to do it, if you love your

10:37

family, you love your kids, if you have kids, it's

10:39

time to gallantly walk away.

10:41

go find something else to do.

10:43

To my brother, I love you. I love you as

10:45

much as I love my son. Stop

10:47

playing stop, hang your helmet

10:49

and gallantly walk away. He

10:52

should stop. Sometimes money is not more

10:54

valuable than human life. twenty billion

10:56

dollars is not worth more than

10:58

your brain. What are

10:59

we supposed to do with that coming from

11:01

that guy?

11:02

Good. Lord, man.

11:04

Can I ask you, and maybe you don't know

11:06

the answer. Does he have any relationship

11:09

with Tuohy at all? Or is he speaking from

11:11

afar as a boy? He loves him as much as

11:13

his son. It was, like, right

11:15

now. Mhmm.

11:16

I mean,

11:17

that's not that's just a that's

11:19

a a person

11:21

just speaking out loud into the universe.

11:23

That's not like they're not actually

11:25

friends. Am I correct? This is someone in

11:27

violation. This is a concussion. expert

11:29

that I am assuming has seen the footage.

11:32

I'm assuming that that's not just a gasbagging

11:34

opinion. I'm assuming that he knows what it

11:36

means better than most of us that

11:38

his hands would do that in front of his

11:40

face? I

11:41

mean, I don't know what to make of

11:43

that. I don't I don't have any idea what to

11:45

make of that. And know what it's like to be a high

11:47

level competitive athlete at the top of

11:49

my field who has the

11:52

thrills that are that come along

11:54

with playing in front of fans and

11:56

and succeeding the way Tua

11:58

has for his entire life

12:00

and continues to have now this year

12:03

However, I don't think that he's

12:05

saying anything. If if you asked

12:07

me to address to a tongue

12:09

of hialoa, and say

12:11

what I truly felt in my

12:13

heart, not being a concussion expert, I

12:15

feel like I would say the same thing.

12:17

Like, don't do this anymore. Look what

12:19

happened. that was really scary with

12:21

you. Everyone was really scared. If

12:23

you have anything else in your life that you love

12:25

doing, maybe go do that instead.

12:27

Like, that's a very that's

12:29

a a concussion expert saying the

12:31

thing that whether or not

12:33

you feel it now, every single person

12:35

felt at the moment that they saw those images of him

12:37

on the ground, which was like, this isn't

12:39

okay. It's not okay that this game

12:41

exists, that he's allowed to play

12:43

this game. He shouldn't have been back in this

12:45

game. He was concussed last week.

12:47

This is terrible. He might be

12:49

permanently damaged like those

12:52

those feelings sided as we talked

12:54

about yesterday. After

12:56

fifteen minutes, those feelings subsided

12:58

after another hour, they subsided more. But

13:00

in that moment, can any of you

13:02

really say that you were thinking anything different

13:04

than get him the hell out of football

13:06

forever? That's what we all felt.

13:08

Not forever. Maybe that game,

13:10

maybe this season but not forever. You

13:12

realize you would walk in and say that to Tewen and he

13:14

would laugh at you. Tewen wants to play this week if

13:16

he can. Right. Kersey would. Yes.

13:18

But that's The the reason that the protocols

13:20

exist is because the guys will always want to

13:22

play. They will always want to be back in

13:24

there, and so you have to physically

13:27

Stop them. You have to buy the

13:29

letter of the law. Stop them from doing things

13:31

that are going to get them hurt. And I'm

13:33

not saying that he should retire. I

13:35

don't have no idea that's not up to me. I'm

13:37

just saying that in that moment, the thing

13:39

that you were feeling, the sickness, the

13:41

the grossness in your gut, was

13:43

because you, at least, I'll speak for

13:45

myself, I felt like this

13:46

game should be illegal. This is human

13:49

cockfighting. It should be outlawed. All these

13:51

people should arrest them. Arrest all the

13:53

people who invented football and play football.

13:55

Throw them all in jail. This is

13:57

not okay. And I feel like that's now

13:59

a concussion expert

13:59

just saying the same thing with a lot of

14:02

understanding about the human brain and how it works.

14:04

We've

14:04

got some he's sure question options

14:07

for you as well. So let's go

14:09

and start with our start of the

14:11

day. Start of the day.

14:13

Start of the day. it is the start of the

14:15

day. Start of the

14:17

day. Start of the day. It is

14:19

the start of the day. start

14:22

of the day. It is the start of

14:24

the day. Start of the

14:27

day. It

14:29

is the part of the

14:30

day. The

14:43

start of the day is presented by ZipRecruiter.

14:45

ZipRecruiter, the smartest way

14:47

to hire.

14:49

Freddie Freeman of

14:51

the Los Angeles Dodgers leads

14:53

all of baseball and hits with a hundred and

14:56

ninety six No one got two hundred hits

14:58

last year. So if

14:59

Freeman doesn't get four hits in the

15:01

final regular season game today,

15:04

It will be the first back to

15:06

back seasons where no one has had two hundred

15:08

hits since

15:09

nineteen eighteen and nineteen

15:11

nineteen when

15:12

one of those guys who had two hundred

15:14

hits or was

15:15

trying to get two hundred hits was Thai hops. So

15:17

it's been more than a hundred years

15:20

since no one has had two hundred

15:22

hits. And that made me think. That

15:23

made me think. You know what, man?

15:26

It's not like it was back

15:27

in the nineteen nineties, which leads to what another

15:30

nineties baseball Wednesday. Yeah. That's

15:32

right. It's nice. It's all Wednesday.

15:34

Yeah. Bye. Stop Wednesday.

15:36

Yes. by a stop by a stop Wednesday

15:38

brought to you by Bacardi, which we are currently

15:40

in the middle of. So these better be

15:42

some spiciest baseball stat. Spicy

15:45

spicy blocked up Wednesday

15:47

nineties baseball players. Let

15:49

me say one thing before we get to nineties

15:51

baseball Wednesday.

15:51

I've gotten a lot of people complaining

15:54

on Twitter. that some of the

15:56

players that we mentioned when we talk

15:58

about nineties baseball aren't

15:59

really from the nineties or more from like the two

16:02

thousands or whatever. You understand

16:03

people, nineties baseball

16:06

doesn't mean you only played in the

16:08

nineties or you even played it all in the

16:10

nineties. nineties baseball is a state of mind.

16:12

That's correct. Right. Correct. Or

16:14

hate can't do. Yeah. Or hate

16:16

can't do never played in the nineties. It doesn't is

16:18

absolutely a part of nineties. A part of the

16:20

nineties. Yes. I'll late

16:22

eighties can be part of the nineties. Right. Or

16:24

use the seventies. As far as I'm concerned, the

16:26

it goes from it theoretically goes from the

16:28

seventies up to today. It's

16:30

like it's like a contemporary music

16:33

FM station. Yeah. But III

16:35

do think I'm glad you said this though, Mike, because I

16:37

have wanted to quibble with one or two of the names.

16:39

Oh, jeez. Really? on the basis of the time

16:41

during which I play. No. But I'm I'm

16:43

now one hundred percent behind the spirit of the

16:45

game. That's right. That makes

16:47

you that very. Let me

16:49

ask you this. It's Ricky Weeks, though,

16:51

is a part of nineties baseball.

16:53

Until yeah. Until you just wanna Until

16:55

you just wanna monologue I would have

16:57

said no. I would have said no. Not for me.

17:00

You're wrong. Is she Hillenbrand

17:02

a part of mine? She is she Hillenbrand.

17:05

Yes. I Yeah. Never played in

17:07

the nineties. Yeah. Never played in the nineties. Yeah.

17:09

Got it. Yeah. Alright. Here's the point

17:11

on nineties baseball Wednesday. I have in front

17:13

of me a list. Of

17:15

the highest individual hit totals of any

17:18

season by any player in either league in

17:20

the nineties, does anyone wanna

17:22

guess who's on that list? No.

17:24

You'll never guess the number one. I'm telling you right now. You'll never How

17:26

many names you got? Tony Quinn.

17:29

Tony Quinn is on

17:31

the list. Can you the

17:33

question again. It was confusing. No, Jessica. No,

17:35

don't ask the question again, Jessica. I need

17:37

it. No. He's trying to get fired. And

17:39

Jessica Jessica just said she doesn't

17:41

want any more information on

17:43

this. Not enough. My

17:45

churn today, we don't I

17:47

wanna play the game. You wanna play

17:50

the game? III wanna ask him about

17:52

O2B McDowell. O2B

17:56

Young again, McDowell. That was that was

17:58

Burman's nickname for him ever.

17:59

What what do you have there?

18:02

What what more information do you have

18:04

for us? What do I have on o

18:06

to p mentality? You

18:08

know what I mean? You

18:11

can't recite, though. I'm

18:13

like part of your prep process for this

18:15

show is to beef up on o to

18:17

b McDowell now What do you why hear you? What are you

18:19

even potentially looking for? I don't

18:22

even know what I'm saying. right. After the name,

18:24

what else is there? I can

18:26

leverage sure you would have a a fountain

18:28

of information. Oh, you didn't get a at

18:30

the podcast with Joe Pozanski.

18:33

We've got a he shirt question

18:36

and a question it is for a world

18:38

renowned. Hold on. What happened to the

18:40

Nineties enter though? What's the game that

18:42

Mike sure wanted to play? I

18:44

don't. It got obliterated when Dan

18:46

said, what else do you have there on

18:49

ownership?

18:50

But

18:51

Jessa, no.

18:53

I mean, I can read out

18:55

the rest of the nineteen eighty six Texas Rangers

18:57

if you want me to. Oh. No. Play the

18:59

game. I mean, play the game. I'll just give you let me

19:01

give you four names of guys who had very

19:04

high hit totals in the nineteen in the at

19:06

some point in the decade of the nineteen nineties.

19:09

Alright? You've got BJ

19:10

Sarhoff for the nineteen ninety royals.

19:13

You've got Marquise

19:13

Grissom for the Braves. You've

19:17

got Vinny Castia for the ninety

19:19

eight Colorado Rockies. He got

19:21

Barrera. You've got Carlos Bayrera

19:23

and Doug Glanvil. But the number one season of

19:26

any for any hit total

19:28

season for any season in the

19:30

nineties, Lance John Johnson for Stuttgart's New

19:32

York Jets in nineteen ninety six. Two

19:34

hundred and twenty seven heads. That was the

19:36

highest hit total of any season in the

19:38

nineties. Amazing. How wild? Johnson

19:41

Twenty year old Ruben Sierra was on the same

19:43

nineteen eighty six Texas Rangers with

19:45

Adobe McDowell. Yep. We have

19:47

lost Jessica hash tag

19:49

he's sure he's a world renowned

19:51

ethicist. And the

19:53

question

19:54

is

19:58

Should we even watch

19:59

football? I feel like I just

20:01

ranted about that for, like, three minutes to

20:04

say. Definitely did. Also, he's

20:07

fired. He is fired. What

20:09

do you mean he's not? We don't we don't get to

20:11

unilaterally decide who's fired. There have to

20:14

be AAAA vote. A jury of our

20:16

peers would have to determine Mike's status on the

20:18

program. We can call a vote. We can this

20:20

is like parliament. We can call a vote

20:22

whenever, but He still has a

20:24

job. See you later,

20:26

Mike. Bye. Thank you, Jess, for

20:28

trying. Mike, don't forget to send me one of those

22:41

has this Wednesday felt sufficiently

22:43

spiced up? Do you have any stories that

22:45

could spice it up a little bit,

22:47

extra spicy here? I think Bacardi needs to

22:49

get a little more what it is that

22:51

it's sponsored today.

22:52

Well, Dan, does the does

22:54

the name Utah connotes

22:57

spiciness to

22:58

you? Not quite. Now Utah does not give

23:00

off spiciness in general. What if what

23:02

if we're talking

23:03

about a nuclear reactor in

23:06

Utah? Spicier.

23:06

Getting there, warmer? IT'S

23:09

A STUDENT AT THE UNIVERSITY

23:11

OF YUTAL THREATENING TO DENTINATE A NUCLE

23:13

REACTOR OF YUTAL LOSES A FIATBALL GAME.

23:15

I THINK WE'RE THERE we're there. That's

23:18

that's the proper amount of licensing

23:20

license. too much. Too much. Too much. Too

23:22

much. Too much. It's letting if

23:24

they if they lost, that was the threat

23:26

and what ended up

23:29

happening. So a couple weeks

23:29

ago, Utah was playing San Diego State

23:32

at home. And Okay.

23:34

This is a question for everyone. Have you heard

23:36

of Yucky? No. No.

23:37

No. No. Jeremy

23:39

has. Okay. Jeremy, when you were probably

23:41

a freshman in college, That was

23:43

when Yoyakiak had its heyday. Is does

23:45

that sound accurate? Correct. So

23:48

apparently, Yoyak is back. this was a soloist. Excellent

23:50

work, Jeremy. I don't wanna hear anything else from

23:52

you on the show. He runs to the mic

23:54

around. Just to say, correct. Either it's not mine

23:56

or that one word and nothing else.

23:59

Yeah. I know

23:59

Yigak. Okay. So if

24:01

you if you went to college in, like,

24:03

two thousand twelve or two thousand thirteen, two

24:05

thousand fourteen, you've you've probably heard of Yigak.

24:07

It was this app that was

24:09

sheer hell, that was created by these people in

24:12

at Fuhrman, I believe. And when I was a

24:14

freshman at Klumpson, everyone was using it. And it

24:16

was a it's an it's basically anonymous

24:18

Twitter and it's geolocated. So if

24:20

you live in Miami and you post something

24:22

anonymously to it, other people in Miami see

24:24

it. And so you can literally post whatever

24:26

you want on it, And,

24:29

obviously, that's a terrible

24:30

idea for us. So,

24:33

y'all

24:33

got taken offline, I believe, like,

24:35

a year and a half or a couple years it

24:37

was invented and then it came back, which I just found out

24:39

from this new story. So this is

24:41

like equal parts social media plus college

24:43

football fandom. So apparently this woman who's

24:45

a student at Utah. This

24:47

happened a couple weeks ago, but, you know, obviously,

24:49

the story is so so big that we

24:51

we still wanted to talk about even though

24:53

we have Even though we're weeks late, even

24:55

though we're weeks late, it's still

24:57

a nuclear reactor. It's an unusual game. I wouldn't

24:59

have had it for that game. Usually, the

25:01

threats of nuclear reactors are not

25:03

San Diego state involved. That's kind of a

25:05

thing. So she

25:06

was a student at Utah. She still is,

25:08

I I assume, and she posted on Yip

25:11

Yak allegedly. If we don't win

25:12

this game, I'm going to go detonate the

25:15

nuclear reactor on campus. And

25:17

the

25:17

police obviously saw it and arrested

25:19

her, and they were like, you can't do that.

25:22

And Utah, I should add one the game

25:24

thirty five to seven. it wasn't even really A lot of pressure

25:26

my

25:26

uncle Kyle waitingham that day. Yeah.

25:28

The the youth are good. I like it. The

25:30

youth I'm like, the youth are

25:32

give you ten wins of season in the last few

25:34

minutes. Say, well, yes. A tough

25:37

stretch of -- Good break down. -- if you're playing

25:39

UCLA this weekend and

25:39

the USC the weekend after then

25:41

Washington state, which isn't a a, you know, an a great

25:43

team, but could definitely give them

25:46

fits. They've once they they famously beat

25:48

Wisconsin this season. Anyways, Dan, that's

25:50

that

25:50

defeat, though, on the opening weekend to Florida

25:52

looks worse though, with the passing weekend for for

25:54

the huge It definitely does, which

25:55

is why overreacting

25:57

to week

25:58

one, non conference games, or conference

26:01

games really, to anything is always

26:03

kinda like Just

26:03

one do it. The dangers game. Why

26:06

do that. There's year that puts together the

26:08

heroic performance in week one and then doesn't live up

26:10

to it for the rest of the week. Notar named Texas

26:12

in twenty sixteen. It was like Texas

26:15

is back this was a crazy game.

26:17

Notar game ended up winning four games that season,

26:19

fired their defensive coordinator, almost

26:21

fired Brian Kelly,

26:22

the tech is Florida State I feel

26:24

like Florida State did that for three quarters against

26:26

Notre Dame -- Last season. -- and then they didn't win. And then

26:28

they didn't win. And I know Notre Dame. still, that was the heroic effort, and

26:30

then they went five and seven everything went In

26:32

order

26:32

to win one, oh, ten or eleven games last season. So it

26:34

was just like, okay. It was just a close week one game that

26:36

happens, Brian Kelly. Kelly threatened to

26:39

execute the players afterwards. Mhmm. But anyway, so I

26:41

was reading about the -- Speaking of execution.

26:44

-- I was reading about the

26:46

nuclear reactors on college

26:48

campuses because, hey, like,

26:50

this it's funny in the

26:52

sense that the police say there's a

26:55

a almost less

26:55

than zero percent chance that this

26:58

person could actually do this. However,

26:59

it is act like, you know, it's a

27:01

serious crime. Yeah. You cannot do that.

27:03

Don't do it. And apparently, another student

27:05

had also done this on

27:07

yay react, like, prior to

27:09

this, but it wasn't nuclear reactor. It was just a

27:11

bomb threat, which also, like, don't

27:14

do

27:14

that. But

27:15

in researching

27:16

this story, I our friend

27:18

of producer on D and F and the full cast

27:20

after Dark Douglas tweeted a list

27:22

of all the colleges

27:24

that have

27:25

nuclear reactors on their campuses.

27:27

I

27:27

had no idea that this was just

27:30

a thing. I had

27:30

no idea there were any on any camp. Right.

27:32

If you had that list was one, I would

27:34

have been stunned. There's multiple.

27:37

How

27:37

many? The University of Florida has

27:39

one. Mhmm. Does that does that scare

27:41

you? Yeah. Yes. What

27:42

about the University of Wisconsin?

27:44

Mhmm. No. What about I

27:47

don't want to make clear

27:49

reactors around -- Ten state. -- eighteen to twenty two

27:51

year olds. I don't You study nuclear

27:53

science, though. How about

27:54

the fact that Texas AMM has two?

27:56

Now are you scared? Oh,

27:57

yes. because it's an agriculture school

27:59

and a and a cult. But

28:01

what? I mean, Roy, you said to

28:03

study them. But, like, do you need to

28:05

have the real like, do you have to work with a

28:08

nuclear reactor and have

28:10

it on the campus. Like, I would

28:12

presume the nuclear reactor then provides

28:14

energy to its local area. Right?

28:16

Like, that's part of the reason why

28:18

it's there. but that is not to be trusted in the hands

28:20

of basically children. Well, but I think what Jessica

28:22

is saying is also probably true

28:24

that being able to say it on yay

28:26

yack and actually do the labyrinth

28:28

of things that you have to do to set

28:30

off a nuclear reactor, probably two

28:32

very different things. And one of the

28:34

dumbest things you do? Is that an announced you. You

28:36

don't know how to do it. on on

28:38

your side. Yeah. Dan,

28:39

I made the connection finally, which I've been trying

28:42

to make my entire life. That's why they

28:43

call it the nuclear football. I

28:46

get it

28:46

now. I don't I that can't

28:48

be.

28:48

Don't They can't be. I

28:51

don't think Because if your

28:52

football team loses, you find the

28:54

codes and you -- Mhmm. -- set out the reality. I thought you

28:56

go you you were gonna hit her with the

28:58

with the loser game show sound is what

29:00

I thought was, like, silence that

29:02

you were going to

29:04

fix there. Let's get to

29:06

the top five list that we've still got out

29:08

standing one of which just made an

29:11

appearance. Oh, no. Oh

29:13

my gosh. Oh,

29:16

bill oh, Billy's in the kitchen, but that's not Billy,

29:18

that's Elon Musk. That's Elon Musk.

29:21

Hey, friends. Remember me? I'm

29:23

back. You thought I wasn't gonna buy

29:25

Twitter? I am. Hello,

29:27

sir. How are you? Doing good. Doing

29:30

good. I'm gonna buy Twitter, friend, and I'm

29:32

gonna turn it into an everything app.

29:34

Name something. Onium. It's

29:36

on the app. X is gonna have

29:38

everything, friends. Now let's get to

29:40

first take where we have Mad

29:42

Dog and we have Steven a, and

29:44

we have Kimberly Martin also. And they

29:46

were talking about the topic of

29:48

QB or not QB.

29:50

Is now the right time for Kenny

29:52

Pickett? Great question. Now, Mad Dog said,

29:54

throw them in the deep end of the pool and

29:56

see what you've got.

29:58

When I

29:59

left me over the father hovering

30:02

behind you, a man on the street

30:04

interview you just did with my father

30:06

are you doing this Keep something else,

30:08

sir, as Elon.

30:10

Black beans. Black beans is gonna be on

30:12

x two. You know, let's gonna be the

30:14

everything app. I said it yesterday on Twitter, and

30:16

this is the first step in creating x.

30:18

Buying Twitter, name something else.

30:21

But Taylor's gonna be on x well.

30:24

I think your job is hungry.

30:27

Really is. He just said my app

30:29

was stupid, and I don't think that's

30:31

great. Steven a also said,

30:33

by the way, going back to Kenny Pickett for a second,

30:35

the Steelers are so bad that if Pickett turns

30:37

them around, he should be an MVP candidate.

30:40

Then we went on to Aaron Judge and the

30:42

debate became, will Aaron Judge play next

30:44

year? Will it be the yankees or will it be the

30:46

Net? The Metz. who will pay him the most amount

30:48

of money. And the answer is,

30:49

me, he's gonna play for me. I'm gonna

30:52

start a team and he's gonna play for me because I

30:54

have all the money in the world. Name something

30:56

else, sir. run out of

30:58

work. He ran out of work, and that's

31:00

not something that's gonna happen on Nextiva

31:02

everything out. Back to you. Thank you. Nice

31:04

to give it to you. My father at

31:06

this stage in his television

31:08

career doesn't have much

31:10

in the arsenal other than

31:12

in foods. and he runs out

31:14

after three after building a

31:16

breakfast taco. And that's

31:18

all I say just like I do

31:20

is I You remember -- Right. -- a brick brick from Anchorman. I

31:22

just started looking at things. You just go by a

31:24

plant. A plant. How

31:26

many people in the world? When

31:28

as to name a thing. Oh,

31:31

no. onion is where they

31:33

start. I don't think when

31:36

you watch jeopardy, you realize, like,

31:38

how quickly everything you know could ever

31:41

evaporate. Because when you watch it on

31:43

television, you're like, you need these morons. and

31:45

then you actually go on the show and I

31:47

imagine it was like, wait, I've forgotten just

31:49

basic facts that I know about everyday life.

31:51

And I feel like that is a question where if

31:53

we had, like, Chris Cody walked down street and

31:55

be like, name a thing that it would like,

31:57

you probably just look at what's closest to you. You'd you

31:59

forget all the

31:59

things that you ever know. What let's

32:02

do that as an exercise a month

32:04

and name a thing with Chris name

32:06

a thing with Chris Cody.

32:08

I don't know why that report was

32:10

done on first take as Elon Musk,

32:12

but Elon Musk is now buying

32:14

Twitter again, and Stigot's

32:17

wedding ham is

32:18

with you now. you were first. You

32:21

yours was the first take --

32:23

Yeah. -- that called Elon Musk of fraud

32:25

-- Mhmm. -- and now winning

32:27

him is on your side. I don't

32:29

think you ever been more right about anything in

32:31

your entire life. It might be my best take.

32:33

Yeah. Seriously. Yeah. Which I that I

32:35

actually would be a great spin instead

32:38

of instead of first take, the first

32:40

take, which is

32:42

you were the first to say something. It'd be chronicle

32:44

people who said something first. but

32:46

Stuttgart's could not have been more right about

32:49

Elon Musk. It's enough. I

32:51

had already done the he's

32:53

gonna buy Twitter. He's not gonna buy

32:56

I I had put that out of my brain. I read

32:58

about these things for the sake of this program

33:00

because we might talk about them. I

33:02

don't give a

33:04

shit. about Elon Musk or anything

33:06

that he does. His cars are cool. I like

33:08

going to the little Tesla pop up that's

33:10

at the Aventura Mall. I like sitting in the

33:12

cars. The features are cool. It's a nice car. We

33:15

have a nice time. But

33:17

the everyday dealings of Elon Musk,

33:19

I would not spend a

33:21

second NI Yoda of my brain

33:23

energy on them. If we might not discuss

33:25

them for this show, and I'm glad

33:27

I'm glad that Stuttgart is out there with

33:29

the opinion. this guy is a quack

33:31

who's just in it for the attention. His It's

33:33

enough of Musk. His

33:35

cars are enough. His cars

33:37

blow up. They didn't smoke. That's

33:39

because of cool. That's if they make it to your

33:41

driveway. I mean, they never get delivered.

33:43

Let

33:43

me go back to Witty going to the Aventura

33:45

Mall to go sit in a test it's like a

33:47

amusement park for weird

33:48

dad. Evan Thermo? Well,

33:51

yes, that and the Tesla pop up

33:53

in the Evan Thermo. It's really cool. Like, I It's a Saturday night

33:55

for you. Do you turn the seat heater on?

33:57

Do you put the seat forward and backward? No. You you

33:59

play with the screen,

33:59

and then there's, like, you can see the thing where

34:02

you can upload noise

34:04

that becomes your horn, like, feel like

34:06

you can go through all of the different features of Tesla. I

34:08

I think it's a really cool thing. I wish I had

34:10

a home where I could, like, have my whole thing solar

34:13

It it it seems great. Tesla products,

34:16

thumbs up

34:16

for me. But like this whole thing

34:18

where I have to pay attention, this guy's every

34:20

move because It moves the stock market and people

34:22

talk about it on social media and he's this

34:25

guy's hero enough. Well, it's

34:26

not going away if he's actually gonna buy

34:28

Twitter, which he's It still might not happen, but he

34:30

says he's

34:31

It probably won't happen. It won't happen. Right? I'm here to

34:33

tell you it's not happening. Yeah. It was gonna

34:35

be a billion dollar panel and

34:37

then the lawyers got involved, then the lawyers

34:39

got involved, and now he is back in

34:41

the game. But we cannot

34:43

go any further. to guts without getting these

34:45

top five lists out. You just produced another

34:48

one during the break for no

34:50

reason whatsoever that I

34:52

could discern You had top

34:54

five hockey names that just

34:56

by virtue of their names, you can tell

34:58

they were born to play hockey. If

35:00

you're born with this name, you were born to

35:02

do one thing. Play hockey.

35:04

Top five,

36:20

prep him or anything. The thing is there's lots

36:22

look, it's a take us all be there's lots of

36:24

things to juggle there. Right? Where it was,

36:26

like, when we gotta do the first take update,

36:29

and we gotta do a Elon Musk thing. Right. And we

36:31

gotta do poppy. Mhmm. And we have a little window and

36:33

a little bit of show left. So it's like, how do we

36:35

get all three involved in one year?

36:37

I wish Biller good luck. I

36:40

did. You did it as well

36:42

as you could. I don't know how to do

36:44

that. So, I mean, I did it. That's

36:46

for that lens. But it's on you, not

36:48

on pop. No. A hundred percent. I didn't even tell him. He was just kinda hanging out

36:50

there, and I decided to go to him and talk to him. He

36:52

36:54

anything. Number five. Oh,

36:56

37:36

as a badass man. Conrad, dooplin had a

37:38

com did he have the commercial where

37:40

they threatened somebody to knock a battery

37:42

off his shoulder? No. That was Robert Conrad.

37:45

I named someone that played after Y2KI

37:48

love that, like, the when this

37:51

show exposes, like, when Stuttgart

37:53

was most passionate about

37:55

sports. and, like, could encyclopedically name

37:58

all of

37:58

these people. And he didn't need to research.

38:00

When yet, when we do modern things, he's

38:02

gotta research them and look them up.

38:05

but there is this period in Stuttgart's

38:07

life where sports was all consuming. And

38:09

I could just remember I could cite every

38:11

name off the top of my head of

38:13

the nineteen ninety one Minnesota Vikings.

38:15

And number one, let's see if

38:18

Stuttgart's can indeed name any

38:20

athlete born

38:22

this century Number

38:24

number one one, Larry Zaka.

38:26

god

38:29

Zaka. He's, like,

38:31

two hundred and thirty

38:34

pounds. He would make you

38:36

rethink everything. Got it. for

38:38

the time. Speaking of

38:39

people who, like, were born with

38:42

a name that indicates what they have

38:44

to do later. Magnus

38:46

Carlson, this chess grand master,

38:48

who's at the center of this

38:50

whole chest cheating scandal,

38:52

that

38:52

guy was born to be a chest grand master.

38:54

And the other guy who's who's now

38:56

like challenging him who may have cheated. Han's Neiman was born to

38:58

be someone who might have

38:59

cheated at chess. Wow.

39:02

For me,

39:03

Magnus Carlson gives off world's

39:05

strongest man more than it gives off. She's a man. This

39:08

is a man. This is a man. Yeah. And Hans

39:10

Neiman gives off, I think, like, formula one a

39:12

little bit. Right. I'm a Yeah.

39:14

This agree. Wow.

39:16

Wow. Well, there's

39:16

an update to the story, which by

39:19

the way, Pablo Torre on the ESPN

39:21

Daily this morning, hosting an episode about

39:23

the Chest Treating scandal it was about

39:25

as excited as to to talk about

39:27

a topic as Pablo's ever been. I

39:30

mean, he

39:32

was smiling ear to ear the entire time. I could hear it. I love

39:34

his happy reads. His bag talking

39:36

about

39:36

chess with this guy that he had on.

39:39

And apparently now, the new

39:42

word is that chess dot com

39:44

has

39:44

acknowledged that they they know

39:46

for a fact that Han's Neiman liked

39:48

Well, I guess they don't know for a fact

39:50

because they said, quote, likely cheated. More frequently than he admitted

39:52

to while using their site. Pablo

39:55

Torre doing that story

39:57

with enthusiasm is incredibly

39:59

on brand for Pablo

40:02

Torres. I listened to it this morning. Am I

40:04

way into work? And I was like,

40:06

yeah, this Like, he was born he was born. a chess

40:08

story. Finally. Finally.

40:10

Give a shit. Mahbod really really

40:12

made me care of my own. I'm not gonna

40:15

How weird is the story? Yes. Please do

40:17

the break. The surprising

40:20

twist that involves

40:22

anal beats.
