Speaker 1: Welcome to Good Calls with Dean Blandino, a production of IR.
Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of Good Calls. I'm Dean Blandino,
Speaker 1: be joined by Travis Hanson, Jil Madrid and and our friend,
Speaker 1: our good friends, Scott Tamil Scott, thanks for joining us today. UM.
Speaker 1: I don't know what this is week whatever, quarantine. I
Speaker 1: feel like we're going backward now. UM. Number of cases
Speaker 1: are spiking right states? Some states opened up, opened up
Speaker 1: too early. You think about Texas, Arizona, Florida. Um, certainly
Speaker 1: the holiday weekends people were out and about. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys all saw that video. Where was
Speaker 1: that Michigan? Was there like a party in in somewhere
Speaker 1: some lake, um, Traverse City or something like that. I
Speaker 1: don't want to get it wrong and offend anyone, but
Speaker 1: it's you know, it feels like a lot of younger
Speaker 1: people are not taking this too seriously and that's and
Speaker 1: that's causing complications. Um, where are we at? Where's everybody
Speaker 1: in COVID right now? Travis? Where are you? I'm at home, man,
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in my No. No, it's it's it was
Speaker 1: more of a metaphorical are not physically we're a click
Speaker 1: well you know where. Yeah, I'm okay. You know, it's
Speaker 1: it's starting to wear on me a bit, but I'm
Speaker 1: getting by. You know, you were testy today. You got
Speaker 1: the hat on backwards, you were firing away on text messages.
Speaker 1: No one was safe. We got on before we're starting
Speaker 1: to record, and you were just just throwing dark. I
Speaker 1: dropped a song lyric when you guys were talking about
Speaker 1: the Oxford comment common I think it's a Vampire weekend.
Speaker 1: You guys familiar with that song Vampire? The song is
Speaker 1: that the band that's the best band? Yeah, so clearly
Speaker 1: Dan is not a playlist. I'll check it out though,
Speaker 1: I'm always up for new music. I might like it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Travis was was firing away, um fired up.
Speaker 1: But again, yeah, it's where where what Scott? What are
Speaker 1: you're kind of the I feel like your go to
Speaker 1: and where where are we right now? What should we
Speaker 1: be doing right like as a society? Yes, I mean
Speaker 1: we need to go back to social distancing of you know,
Speaker 1: the middle of May. I mean I don't even I
Speaker 1: don't even want to get started because it just at
Speaker 1: this point, you know, most of the United States is
Speaker 1: just kind of given up or they you know, for reasons.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of reasons. But you know, we like sports.
Speaker 1: And I think I forgot who was speaking. It was
Speaker 1: a baseball player. Just see the day. It's like sports
Speaker 1: are reward for a engining society. So we should be
Speaker 1: trying to you know, sort of prevent this because I
Speaker 1: would love to have a football season this yearning. Well,
Speaker 1: what you know, you watch, you watch what's happening in
Speaker 1: Europe and and and elsewhere where they're playing sports. There
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be. Yeah, there's positive tests, and but
Speaker 1: there doesn't seem to be whether it's you know, European
Speaker 1: soccer leagues or um, you know, other other sports rugby,
Speaker 1: Australians football, they seem to be doing okay. And is
Speaker 1: that a result of the social distancing and the precautions
Speaker 1: that they took? UM And I know, right we were
Speaker 1: behind um, Europe and we were behind Asia and are
Speaker 1: we just you know, do we need to just catch up?
Speaker 1: And how are we going to catch up if we
Speaker 1: keep you know, opening up before we're really supposed to. Um. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not a health expert, but but you're
Speaker 1: the only year the closest one we have on this show. Okay,
Speaker 1: so now we'll step up and start giving us some
Speaker 1: health advice. I mean, I'll just say if whether you boot,
Speaker 1: you can believe whatever you want to believe on how
Speaker 1: serious this is. Uh. But you know, according to the numbers,
Speaker 1: there's been about a hundred and thirty thousand deaths. Even
Speaker 1: if you think that's wildly inflated, you cut that in half,
Speaker 1: it's sixty five thousand deaths. Uh. And then you look
Speaker 1: at a country like South Korea or something, they have
Speaker 1: under three hundred deaths. So it's like, I get it,
Speaker 1: they're smaller, it's a different country, different stuff. But it's
Speaker 1: like we're doing something wrong. And that's mostly just we
Speaker 1: did the right thing where we killed the curve early on. Uh.
Speaker 1: But the point would be we're supposed to be testing
Speaker 1: more and more and then we're supposed to be uh
Speaker 1: like slowly going back to quote unquote normal. But basically
Speaker 1: we wasted like sixty days and then everyone, like a
Speaker 1: portion of people, and rightfully so because people need to
Speaker 1: make money, they need to survive, they're like I gotta
Speaker 1: go back. So um, uh, it would be good if
Speaker 1: you could, like you know, other countries are doing support
Speaker 1: for workers and stuff, so maybe they we can see
Speaker 1: this unemployment thing extended. Things like that. But it's a
Speaker 1: little scary just because you know basic and I'm sure
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about it. But baseball is trying to
Speaker 1: get going, and uh, a lot of it seems like
Speaker 1: it keeps running into those jumps into that. Right, let's
Speaker 1: jump into sports returning and we can start with baseball,
Speaker 1: since you know, baseball is on the cusp of returning.
Speaker 1: And I believe of the three sports, you know, take
Speaker 1: football out of it. The three sports, the hockey, basketball,
Speaker 1: and baseball, baseball schedule to start the earliest, UM. But
Speaker 1: you keep, you know, you keep seeing pause the test
Speaker 1: tests from over the weekend that I know, the Giants
Speaker 1: San Francisco, you know, I had to close down their facilities.
Speaker 1: It's it's just, you know, are you gonna study the Astros? Also, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna start a season and two weeks later have
Speaker 1: to shut it down. I don't think that's you know,
Speaker 1: I think that's worse than than waiting and delaying UM.
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's part of the just the
Speaker 1: the issue what we're dealing with. And again, this is
Speaker 1: you know, we haven't dealt with anything like this. We
Speaker 1: you know, we've got to try to and we all
Speaker 1: want sports. But I think you're right, you know that
Speaker 1: sports are reward for a functioning society, and maybe we're
Speaker 1: not functioning um right now the way we're supposed to,
Speaker 1: and and maybe we're not supposed to have sports yet
Speaker 1: until we get the self figured out. I feel like
Speaker 1: there's the issue of of every state's kind of doing
Speaker 1: things differently, Like if everything in any entire United States
Speaker 1: was doing the same thing, like that might be more
Speaker 1: beneficial for our country. I like other countries maybe doing
Speaker 1: that a little bit better than ours. But we are right,
Speaker 1: that's the whole, the whole premise, the whole foundation of
Speaker 1: this country is the fifty United States. So you know,
Speaker 1: there's state laws and things like that that that don't
Speaker 1: necessarily that aren't aren't under the supervision of the federal laws,
Speaker 1: and uh, and that's part of it. And then that's
Speaker 1: why you see. I think California, I feel like it's
Speaker 1: done a really good job. I don't think they've opened
Speaker 1: up you know, yeah, we started open up some things,
Speaker 1: but I think it's been a step approach and and
Speaker 1: whereas in other places it seemed like, Okay, we're gonna
Speaker 1: we're gonna turn the key all in one day and
Speaker 1: and and open everything back up, and then we have
Speaker 1: to shut shut back down. I don't know, I was
Speaker 1: just wondering, you know. I know we've talked about this
Speaker 1: a little, but with the nfl s plans so far,
Speaker 1: obviously it's still a few months away, but it sounds
Speaker 1: like they're going to probably leave it up to the
Speaker 1: states to decide, uh song, like the state regulations, like
Speaker 1: there will be crowds. Yeah, yeah, And I and I look,
Speaker 1: you know, and as we you know, let's talk about
Speaker 1: the NFL, and when we we've been saying this right
Speaker 1: for a long time off you know, the NFL still
Speaker 1: got months still months away. Guess what it's it's now
Speaker 1: less than two months right before we would be getting
Speaker 1: gearing up for the first weekend of NFL football, three
Speaker 1: weeks to training camps, you know. So so it's here
Speaker 1: and this is why this is being all ramped up.
Speaker 1: And as I talked to you know, I talked to
Speaker 1: a lot of people I know around the league, and
Speaker 1: this would be the coaches, everyone would be on vacation
Speaker 1: right now. Everyone would they have all the schedules would
Speaker 1: be done weeks ago, everything training camp, travel, when the
Speaker 1: players are going to return, everything through the preseason would
Speaker 1: be done. That that teams are very structured and and
Speaker 1: and their habit you know they're there or creatures of
Speaker 1: habit and everything is right. None of that is really
Speaker 1: has been has been finalized. And so that's why you
Speaker 1: know the league sent out I have it in front
Speaker 1: of me and I was combing through it. This this
Speaker 1: forty page document um in terms of protocols, and it's
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's too much to go through right now,
Speaker 1: but just like as I'm looking at it now, just
Speaker 1: some highlights. Right. So it's the NFL and the NFL
Speaker 1: Players Association, you know, both through their through their infectious
Speaker 1: disease experts are going to develop. They're gonna develop material
Speaker 1: that club medical staffs can use to educate everybody. So
Speaker 1: everybody at a club level has to be educated on
Speaker 1: things like symptoms and what do you do if you
Speaker 1: have symptoms? How do you prevent infections? Um? You know
Speaker 1: all the social distancing guidelines things like that. You know
Speaker 1: protective equipment, UM, you know, healthy habits, preventative measures all
Speaker 1: of that. There's gonna be this extensive educational, um, you know,
Speaker 1: uh kind of process. And then and then it gets
Speaker 1: into kind of what the breakdown of club personnel. And
Speaker 1: they've they've done it into tiers, right, and so there's
Speaker 1: facility access and facility accesses is going to be restricted
Speaker 1: during training camp to a limited number of essential personnel
Speaker 1: and based on the job, you're gonna be put into
Speaker 1: a tier, right. And restricted areas are basically you know,
Speaker 1: the practice and the stadium, playing fields, the sidelines, the
Speaker 1: locker rooms, the training rooms, the medical exam rooms, the
Speaker 1: player meal and meeting rooms, player lounge areas, and weight rooms.
Speaker 1: That's a restricted area. And you you if you're in
Speaker 1: Tier one, which is going to consist of players and
Speaker 1: essential football personnel who need direct access to players for
Speaker 1: more than ten minutes at a time, you have access
Speaker 1: to that restricted area, right. Everybody else it's gonna be limited. Right.
Speaker 1: So so when you talk about Tier one, right, those
Speaker 1: are players, those are coaches, those are athletic trainers, positions,
Speaker 1: strength and conditioning coaches, and equipments. Right, they will have
Speaker 1: access to restricted areas on a n asmeda basis. Tier two, right,
Speaker 1: which are non playing personnel who do have to have
Speaker 1: some contact with with players and coaches, but don't have
Speaker 1: to have it at extensively. Right, They're not gonna have
Speaker 1: access to those restricted areas. Um, and it's going to
Speaker 1: be limited. And that's like the facility staff, which is
Speaker 1: like cafeterian food service people. UM, it's gonna be people
Speaker 1: like ownership general managers, football operations staff. And there's gonna
Speaker 1: be limits to the number of people you can have
Speaker 1: in each tier Tier one sixty people on a daily basis,
Speaker 1: Tier to forty people on a daily basis, and then
Speaker 1: there's even lower tiers like tier Tier two M which
Speaker 1: are media people, and Tier three which are essential facility
Speaker 1: of the workers, but they don't have to have access
Speaker 1: to the players and the Tier one people. So it's
Speaker 1: crazy to think you have to go through all of
Speaker 1: this tear these people up, because before training camp starts,
Speaker 1: each team is going to have to submit who is
Speaker 1: in each group and then and then kind of then
Speaker 1: you get into the cleaning, the disinfecting, everything that has
Speaker 1: to be wiped down all of the limited these guys
Speaker 1: are gonna be working out in in in weight rooms,
Speaker 1: limited to ten or fifteen people, small groups. There's no fans,
Speaker 1: no visitors to training camp at any time. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: teams can hold club fan events at their stadium, they
Speaker 1: have a limited too, but you no fans, no visitors
Speaker 1: are gonna be allowed of training camp. Um. So there's
Speaker 1: so much that goes into this, and like Travis said,
Speaker 1: we're three weeks from the start of training camp and
Speaker 1: then it doesn't need and then this document gets into
Speaker 1: travel protocols. Okay, when they go on the road, what
Speaker 1: do they have to do? You know, all of this
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's very extensive, and these are the
Speaker 1: things that teams are gonna have to gonna have to
Speaker 1: go through. And then write somebody tests positive, where somebody
Speaker 1: comes down with symptoms, they're gonna have to be quarantined.
Speaker 1: Then they're gonna have to be retested. People that had
Speaker 1: close contact with them are gonna have to be tested.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of stuff. It's going to be a massive,
Speaker 1: massive undertaking to start to see. And that's the reality
Speaker 1: of what where we are in the world today. My
Speaker 1: favorite saying, and we're seeing some of the breakdowns and
Speaker 1: that with some of the baseball players who who have
Speaker 1: gone back to work and started training again, and how
Speaker 1: they're upset with you know, they get tested on Friday
Speaker 1: and the results had and come through, and now people
Speaker 1: are starting to test and then facilities are closing because
Speaker 1: the positive tests you know, you know, on Monday. So
Speaker 1: so I think, you know, people are fed up with it,
Speaker 1: and they're not they're not being you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: not being handled the way that it was it was
Speaker 1: promised to them in their agreement. And I think it's
Speaker 1: unreasonable to expect, No, we haven't dealt with this in
Speaker 1: our lifetime. This is this is new. It's unreasonable to
Speaker 1: think that this is gonna this is gonna go flawlessly,
Speaker 1: or hey, this is not this is not gonna happen
Speaker 1: that way. There's gonna be bumps, there's gonna be and
Speaker 1: what what we just hope and pray doesn't happen. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the health and safety of the people involved. That's that's
Speaker 1: the key. You don't want to have any any any
Speaker 1: catastrophes like that. But you don't want is just it's
Speaker 1: just a rash of positive tests and then they just
Speaker 1: shut it down and and now we're back to you know,
Speaker 1: no sports um, and we're kind of trying to figure out, Okay,
Speaker 1: what's gonna can we even get one season? And I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, go ahead, Scott, Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was I just saw something over the weekend too, though,
Speaker 1: that the athletics and the Nationals speaking baseball were are
Speaker 1: upset because there was like, uh, I think delaysed with
Speaker 1: testing and you're writing it is complicated, but that I
Speaker 1: think there's a concern that you know, the MLB was
Speaker 1: kind of saying too, it's like, what was the holiday
Speaker 1: weekend and like, you know, they were fed x in
Speaker 1: tests and if they didn't take that into consideration that
Speaker 1: it's a holiday weekend. Yeah, but it'll be interesting because
Speaker 1: you know, testing right now across the country, they're running
Speaker 1: into supply issues like do we have enough supplied tests?
Speaker 1: And you know, for some of the sports things you
Speaker 1: hear they want to test a couple of times a
Speaker 1: week and if it's a football team, we're talking with
Speaker 1: all the operational people. Man, it's been the minimum. You know,
Speaker 1: that's like a couple of hundred people a couple of
Speaker 1: times a week, you know, four yeah, times, thirty two times,
Speaker 1: you know, twenty five thirty weeks. It's it's a lot,
Speaker 1: you know. And uh, and that's on top of you know,
Speaker 1: all the people in in any given state who are
Speaker 1: trying to get tested and things like that. So there's
Speaker 1: a lot of logistics that every leaguest to figure out
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, and I know, the one thing I'm
Speaker 1: hearing on the college football side, and look, this is
Speaker 1: even I think we're gonna see, we're gonna see different
Speaker 1: conferences doing different things. Um, I think you might see
Speaker 1: some of the bigger conferences shortening their seasons. Maybe they
Speaker 1: don't play out of conference games, maybe they just play
Speaker 1: their conference schedules, they start the conference schedule earlier and
Speaker 1: they end earlier. Because I think because I think there's
Speaker 1: a you know, obviously there's gonna be on at least
Speaker 1: the college side, the unknown of hey do we you know,
Speaker 1: let's get done before it starts to get cold across
Speaker 1: the country because that brings on a whole another right
Speaker 1: flu season and everything else. You know, the weather gets colder,
Speaker 1: people start to get sick more, and who knows how
Speaker 1: this thing is gonna morph. Um, So I think, you know,
Speaker 1: I think we need to be prepared for that. And
Speaker 1: you know, the IVY League already announced potential that that
Speaker 1: they may uh, you know, they may push football, including
Speaker 1: you know, off fall sports, including football to the spring.
Speaker 1: Who knows what's gonna happen there on the college side.
Speaker 1: And I think we just have to um again, it's
Speaker 1: it's coming quickly though. This is you know, this is
Speaker 1: gonna be. College football starts right Labor Day weekend, even
Speaker 1: the week before, there's games that week zero and uh,
Speaker 1: and this is gonna be It's gonna be interesting to
Speaker 1: see how this all plays out. Let's uh, let's talk
Speaker 1: a little bit. Let's talk the other big NFL news.
Speaker 1: And obviously this has been kind of piggybacking on on
Speaker 1: what's what's been happening obviously around the country in terms
Speaker 1: of the social justice But the Washington right, this is,
Speaker 1: this is a franchise. The name UM has been has
Speaker 1: been basically the connotation is that it's an it's a
Speaker 1: Native American slur. Many people who were offended by this name.
Speaker 1: It's been the name since what the Washington has been
Speaker 1: around since n twenties. UM. And I think finally with
Speaker 1: all of the real push that what's happening in the
Speaker 1: country after George Floyd, I think the renewed um conversation
Speaker 1: and ultimately came down to FedEx and other sponsors saying
Speaker 1: they're gonna you know, they're they're pushing for the name
Speaker 1: change and uh and the team announced that they're going
Speaker 1: to review the name. And I think this is gonna
Speaker 1: lead to a name change. And I think it could
Speaker 1: lead to a name change before the start of if
Speaker 1: we have one, um and, I think there's gonna be
Speaker 1: some people that that sit there and say, well, what
Speaker 1: took you so long? UM? I think, yeah, I get it,
Speaker 1: but at least it's it's changing. And that's how I
Speaker 1: look at it, that yes, you can you can really
Speaker 1: rise at the reasoning, you can really rise at what
Speaker 1: took so long. You can do all those things. But
Speaker 1: the bottom line is is if it changes um And Look,
Speaker 1: and you guys know me, I'm not one. I don't
Speaker 1: get offended very often. But I just think that that
Speaker 1: is so and and and not dealt with it at
Speaker 1: the league office and dealt with you know, I had
Speaker 1: a referee, to his credit, you know, he didn't want
Speaker 1: to work Washington games, and and and and we honored
Speaker 1: that request because you know, because of the name, and
Speaker 1: you know, but it's if it changes then regardless of
Speaker 1: the reasons. I think that's a good thing and we
Speaker 1: can kind of move forward. But it's gonna be interesting
Speaker 1: to see what are they going to change with if
Speaker 1: they do change to the nickname, are they going to
Speaker 1: change the Braves? And I think you know that, I
Speaker 1: think the Braves have already said and I think there's
Speaker 1: a different braves chiefs. I think I think we can
Speaker 1: all look at those names and say that's different than
Speaker 1: what was happening in Washington. You know, it just did.
Speaker 1: And and when you're when you're highlight whether it's the seminoles,
Speaker 1: whether you're highlighting Native American you know, history, culture, whatever,
Speaker 1: I think that's good. I think that's important. The first,
Speaker 1: you know, when I got interested in Native American history
Speaker 1: was like I think I told you guys, that played
Speaker 1: my first little league baseball team when I was whatever
Speaker 1: seven years old. Um, the whole league was Native American
Speaker 1: names and I played for the Apaches, and I was
Speaker 1: interested in and I wanted to read up about it.
Speaker 1: And that's been something that I've done, you know, since
Speaker 1: that point. So I don't think Braves, you know, I
Speaker 1: think the one team that that could change is Cleveland.
Speaker 1: I think the you know, the Indians. I think that
Speaker 1: you know, they've changed their mascot, their logo that things
Speaker 1: like that. But I think that could be uh a
Speaker 1: name that that I think they have to review um
Speaker 1: and again and this isn't you guys know and not
Speaker 1: don't think any of us are our ultra PC but
Speaker 1: it is. Then the Washington name is. You can't sit
Speaker 1: there and talk about social justice and equality and have
Speaker 1: that be one of your thirty two franchises. I just like,
Speaker 1: and they happened to be in the nation's capital and
Speaker 1: yeah it's it's and yeah, there's that picture, isn't there
Speaker 1: a This might be either from a Cleveland Indians game,
Speaker 1: but there's like a guy where there is a Native
Speaker 1: American man outside the stadium and then there's like a
Speaker 1: white guy in like crazy paint and he's like with
Speaker 1: like that, he's like, hey, this is cool and it
Speaker 1: is and it's like and you talk about right is it?
Speaker 1: You can't sit there and say that's not a you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not Native American. I don't know what you know,
Speaker 1: how you know, most people Native Americans would feel about that.
Speaker 1: But you've got to think that there's an element of
Speaker 1: that that would be similar to black face, right like
Speaker 1: like that's that's that's how I would look at it,
Speaker 1: that that that you're this is my culture, this is
Speaker 1: my my history and all those things, And I don't
Speaker 1: see that as a tribute, right and I wouldn't see
Speaker 1: it as a just that's how that's all. I well,
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, you brought up like with
Speaker 1: Florida's state, they the college there one instance where they've
Speaker 1: worked with local like seminole tribes and gotten official approval,
Speaker 1: uh whereas and then the other thing I guess is
Speaker 1: just you know, back to teams in college for decades
Speaker 1: have been switching from some sort of Indian related names
Speaker 1: something else, and there's always pushback, but after a few years,
Speaker 1: it just is what it is and it will be
Speaker 1: part of this team's history. It's not gonna go away.
Speaker 1: If you look up the history of the teams super
Speaker 1: Bowl winning teams, it won't be like what happened, there's
Speaker 1: nothing there, so you know, just moving forward, I think whatever,
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna probably switch a name this season,
Speaker 1: I would imagine, but um, I think moving forward, you'll see,
Speaker 1: you know, put fact. But things move on and things change.
Speaker 1: I think the thing about it is people will call them,
Speaker 1: you know, hypocrites because they said they weren't going to
Speaker 1: change or do anything about it. But I think, I
Speaker 1: think this is how I would feel, and this is
Speaker 1: how they should feel too, is you know, you'd rather
Speaker 1: be a hypocrite and stay the same forever then And
Speaker 1: and that to me is just maybe it wrong and
Speaker 1: say we're changing it. Let's let's move on and make it,
Speaker 1: you know, make it a a quick swift change and
Speaker 1: you move on and you forget about it. But that
Speaker 1: and that's my thing, Like I can't I don't like
Speaker 1: when people If somebody is willing to listen and change,
Speaker 1: then don't break them over the coals. Just they're willing
Speaker 1: to sit and listen and change, they're gonna change, they
Speaker 1: don't sit there and break them over the coals. But
Speaker 1: you know, yes, I can't control what happened in the past,
Speaker 1: right I can learn from it and and move on.
Speaker 1: But you know, and that's people want to be you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of people want to play you know, they
Speaker 1: want to be offended. They want to you know, play
Speaker 1: a victim role and and this. You know, we all
Speaker 1: at some at some point or another, I felt sorry
Speaker 1: for ourselves and and and fallen into that place. But
Speaker 1: you know someone's willing to listen and change, and let's
Speaker 1: support them, make the change and move on and not
Speaker 1: make it a negative thing. Um. And because the thing is,
Speaker 1: we've got a long way to go. And you saw,
Speaker 1: I mean I was reading today right to Sean Jackson
Speaker 1: his comments right this, this is you know, we've got
Speaker 1: to educate all. We all have to continue to educate
Speaker 1: ourselves on on what it means, what what hate speeches?
Speaker 1: What you know, what how much our words matter? And
Speaker 1: and and I know Sean is um you know, come
Speaker 1: out and apologize and things like that, and making you know,
Speaker 1: when you when you reference Hitler, when you reference things
Speaker 1: like that, Um, that's it's hard to sit there and
Speaker 1: say it's not anti semitic. I mean, it's just that's
Speaker 1: and and again, and continue to educate ourselves. And nobody's perfect.
Speaker 1: We all make mistakes, and we all say dumb things.
Speaker 1: And social media is we were talking about it, right,
Speaker 1: I've told these guys like it is you can I
Speaker 1: mean I can ruin my career right now with this
Speaker 1: thing I have in my hand. I can go on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and I can and I can ruin my career and
Speaker 1: ruin my life by by saying the wrong thing or
Speaker 1: saying something stupid and uh, and that's a big, big
Speaker 1: responsibility everybody, anybody with a public you know, with the
Speaker 1: public platform, has to be mindful that their words matter.
Speaker 1: And I think that's part of the reason why the
Speaker 1: guy in the White House right now shouldn't be in
Speaker 1: the White House, because because words are important and things
Speaker 1: that we we we say, especially when we have a
Speaker 1: platform and we have a following, um and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's tough. I think the rule number one of
Speaker 1: social media is anything that involves Hitler, stay away from it.
Speaker 1: That's a good rule. Like who you don't need a quote, however,
Speaker 1: can you? Okay, let's let's come up. Let's go to break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna we're gonna come up
Speaker 1: with the list of people you cannot quote. All right, good, great,
Speaker 1: all right, we're back on good calls. And so let's
Speaker 1: let's talk about some bad calling. Let's talk about we'll
Speaker 1: talk about the Sean Jackson quoting Hitler. Okay, we understand
Speaker 1: Hitler's probably at the top of the list. Um, stay
Speaker 1: away from anything Hitler, right, just stay away from it.
Speaker 1: Like you can't even you can't even like shape. You
Speaker 1: can't even go near the mustache like you can't if
Speaker 1: it's too tight. You can't do that. You can't. The
Speaker 1: name aid Off is out. You can't name your kid
Speaker 1: aid Off. You can't do anything Hitler related for very
Speaker 1: good reasons. Who else is on the list? Any dictator,
Speaker 1: any dictator at all? Can you not? Who? Can you
Speaker 1: not quote? Any dictator? Yeah, just stay away from dit
Speaker 1: If Saddam Hussein had like amazing, like something where you're like, wow,
Speaker 1: that's like Oscar wild dish and and you can't you
Speaker 1: can't use it because it was Saddam. Yeah, stay away,
Speaker 1: stay away from Ben Lawden. I threw up to quotes.
Speaker 1: If I threw up a quote and I said, this
Speaker 1: is either Hussane or Wild even if it's amazing, I
Speaker 1: can't use it. If it's Hussan, probably not in your
Speaker 1: best interest. You know it's been big. I don't. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I don't think bi Laden was big in the in
Speaker 1: the quote in the quote world. Yeah, you just behind
Speaker 1: the scenes, you just gotta be careful because um, like
Speaker 1: you said before we went to break, you just gotta
Speaker 1: do a little research. You gotta be careful, little research
Speaker 1: and then like you said, anything you type into your
Speaker 1: phone or whatever, you can just start off. It's like,
Speaker 1: do I need to put this out there? Especially if
Speaker 1: I have a platform, if I'm just Seeman Jackson, question
Speaker 1: why I really anytime I tweet and I don't tweet
Speaker 1: all that often, you know if yea, if somebody asked
Speaker 1: me about a football question, then yeah, I'll respond, But
Speaker 1: even then I read it. I make sure there's no
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not spelling anything wrong or anything like that.
Speaker 1: But do you need to put that out there? I remember, um,
Speaker 1: I remember when Colin when Kaepernick, you know, got a
Speaker 1: lot of crap for wearing a skivera um T shirt,
Speaker 1: right because a lot of Cubans, um no was it
Speaker 1: was it? Or no, no, no, no, no no, it wasn't
Speaker 1: shake overa it was he he made a comment about
Speaker 1: Castro and a lot of Cubans that were had left
Speaker 1: had left Cuba who were living in the United States,
Speaker 1: especially in South Florida, were upset because of the comments
Speaker 1: he made about Castro and that's to me. And this
Speaker 1: is a guy that is educated, that has obviously been
Speaker 1: a driver in in civil rights and social justice. But
Speaker 1: you gotta, like you said, you gotta educate yourself before
Speaker 1: you you start quoting people and start talking about stuff,
Speaker 1: because it is it's a mine field out there. He's
Speaker 1: not the only one. A lot of politicians have screwed
Speaker 1: up in Florida when they're trying to appeal to one
Speaker 1: side or the other. And you know, obviously the people
Speaker 1: who left Cuba, they have strong opinions on that. And
Speaker 1: sure he's not the first and he won't be the last.
Speaker 1: Just kind of really made a mess and act, you
Speaker 1: know what. You know what was going on but not
Speaker 1: widely publicized. But the night that the you know, Castro
Speaker 1: took control, there was actually a party at at at
Speaker 1: the President's this big gala, and Michael Corleone was there
Speaker 1: with Fredo, and Michael realized that Fredo was the one
Speaker 1: that portrayed him with Hyman Roth, and he kissed them.
Speaker 1: I said, I saw I saw that documentary which I
Speaker 1: knew it was you, Fredo, and then and then and
Speaker 1: then Governor Cuomo, you know, called that an Italian slur
Speaker 1: ninety years later, whatever it was. Let let me ask
Speaker 1: you this dean, is is Trump on this list of unquotable?
Speaker 1: And do you I mean, I here's the thing. I
Speaker 1: think you can get in trouble. Trump is a very
Speaker 1: divisive character, obviously divisive figure. I think if you're if
Speaker 1: you work for in certain industries, I think you can
Speaker 1: get in trouble for aligning yourself with Trump, um, without
Speaker 1: question um. And like I said, look, I don't agree.
Speaker 1: I think you're you're the President United States, act like
Speaker 1: it like a decent human being, and don't and don't
Speaker 1: promote you know, crap. But you know, I don't think
Speaker 1: Trump is unquotable. Like if I retweeted something from Trump,
Speaker 1: I would probably get a lot of I'd probably get
Speaker 1: a lot of backlash on Twitter, But I don't think
Speaker 1: i'd lose my job depending on what it is. Well,
Speaker 1: but I think the thing is, you know, there's a
Speaker 1: rule like it's it's just a Hitler rule. You don't
Speaker 1: that's a that's an absolute, that's yeah, and you don't
Speaker 1: bring it up like you're at a party, and then
Speaker 1: you you put in a quote of Hay like, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: you know said that actually trouble. Who got in trouble.
Speaker 1: It was a football coach. I forget what it was,
Speaker 1: but he talked about he said it. He prefaced it
Speaker 1: by saying, obviously I don't agree with what he did,
Speaker 1: but the guy was a great leader because he got
Speaker 1: everybody to follow him. And he got annihilated like he
Speaker 1: I think he lost his job. He was like a
Speaker 1: college football coach. Yeah, I just I just looked it up.
Speaker 1: It was uh not to drag his name through the
Speaker 1: dirt here, but Morris Burger at Grand Valley State University.
Speaker 1: He he gave props to Hitler. Can't do that. You
Speaker 1: just it's off, it's off the table, like, it's just
Speaker 1: you can't do it. Well, I will say, an enemy
Speaker 1: of yours though Michael Jordan's he tried to bring back
Speaker 1: the mustache. You remember that. Oh yeah, he had the
Speaker 1: little He tried to and not even Michael Jordan's could
Speaker 1: really make it work. Michael Jordan can't make it work. Then,
Speaker 1: you know Tom Selleck though it's let's let's be honest here, No,
Speaker 1: Tom Selleck, it was a little bit bush here. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but is there anybody is are we missing anybody else?
Speaker 1: I think stay away from World War Two dictators Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini,
Speaker 1: like stay away from them. Like, but there's people that
Speaker 1: I don't think Stalin and Mussolini, like Mussolini is is
Speaker 1: a is a well loved figure for some Italians, Like
Speaker 1: he's not what there's some people of Hitler too, like
Speaker 1: that just you just stay away from you just said,
Speaker 1: like that's just fascism. You're you're Mussolini's you're guy. But um,
Speaker 1: I I don't know, but I think Hitler is at
Speaker 1: the top of the pyramid. But I just I don't
Speaker 1: know if there's anybody white can can challenge him for
Speaker 1: that throne. You just it's like, no matter the situation,
Speaker 1: it's just never a good time to bring him up.
Speaker 1: That's that's just the rule. You just don't. You're on
Speaker 1: a first date, you're at a company party, those things
Speaker 1: to bring up on a first date. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I remember I had a conversation with um Terry Bradshaw
Speaker 1: one time after on a Sunday after games No, and
Speaker 1: he's he not not that, but he's a he's a
Speaker 1: very big history buff and he studies this stuff. And
Speaker 1: we were talking about World War Two and he knows
Speaker 1: his stuff, and we're talking about World War two and
Speaker 1: Hitler and things like that. Um, so it's obviously it's
Speaker 1: a part of history. And uh, but again it's like
Speaker 1: you said, first date. Things you can't talk about on
Speaker 1: the first date Hitler, Holocaust. Um what else can you
Speaker 1: not talk about on the first date. Well, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: bring up any prior prior girlfriends, exes, spouses, boyfriends. Probably
Speaker 1: not a good to go into much detail about that,
Speaker 1: help anything anything health related. I think that's probably a
Speaker 1: taboo topic. And also, I know true crime is very popular,
Speaker 1: but you probably don't want to lead off on a
Speaker 1: date with like you just read about this cool murder. Yes,
Speaker 1: serial killer, Like yeah, serial killer stuff probably not good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: your favorite show is Dexter. The starting a bad first
Speaker 1: date is like going talking about Hitler and ordering like
Speaker 1: really really saucy chicken wings, Like that would be like
Speaker 1: just bad, just you know, not enough wet, wet wet wipes.
Speaker 1: It would just be a bad deal. You don't want
Speaker 1: to see me chicken wings. I'll be sweating. Yeah, really
Speaker 1: hot ones, like the super hot ones, like oh you
Speaker 1: know what, you know, you know who I really you know,
Speaker 1: we're really like a lot of his His politics was
Speaker 1: Adolph Hitler. By the way, we're gonna we're gonna order
Speaker 1: the hottest wings on the menu. They have a hot
Speaker 1: wing contest here. So what do you like to do
Speaker 1: in your spare time? So the date is at Buffalo
Speaker 1: Wild Wings. The date is that if yeah, if you
Speaker 1: if you go to a if you take yes, exactly?
Speaker 1: Can you ever have a first date at b dubs?
Speaker 1: If it's just like a meat up, have a couple
Speaker 1: of drinks. But if you Hey, I'm taking you to
Speaker 1: dinner and you don't tell and just look where we're all.
Speaker 1: I'm taking you to dinner, I'm not gonna tell you
Speaker 1: where and you just beat ups? Is that acceptable now?
Speaker 1: Or like, hey, there's a there's a Buffalo Wild Wings
Speaker 1: near us. You want to meet there, have a drink
Speaker 1: and then maybe we can figure it out. That yeah,
Speaker 1: that that's fine as long as you said at the bar.
Speaker 1: Maybe too, if they're a sports fan, that's helpful. Then
Speaker 1: it's not so weird. It would it would be weird too.
Speaker 1: So you better if you met her at a poetry
Speaker 1: class and you're like, yeah, I know this place. They
Speaker 1: they play all the big ten games on Saturdays. It's
Speaker 1: a Michigan bar like No, Speaking of football, what do
Speaker 1: you guys think of Patrick Mahomes. This contract has gotten
Speaker 1: a lot of attention on for obvious reasons. Um, what
Speaker 1: do you think of the deal? I mean, anytime you're
Speaker 1: getting anywhere near half a billion dollars, it's a it's
Speaker 1: a great deal. Like you're not gonna get a ton
Speaker 1: of guaranteed money like uh in NFL, like you do
Speaker 1: in baseball and other sports. So I think anytime you're
Speaker 1: talking about half a billion dollars, it's a good deal.
Speaker 1: And he's he's now tied to that franchise, and I
Speaker 1: think that helps. I think that helps like players, when
Speaker 1: you're with one franchise for entire career, I think that
Speaker 1: helps your marketability. And I think in the long runs,
Speaker 1: it's it's going to be a deal that that that
Speaker 1: we're gonna look back and say this is a good
Speaker 1: deal for he's gonna they're gonna win moremionship and he's
Speaker 1: and he's right. I think he's he's the best player.
Speaker 1: You can argue position, but he's the best player in
Speaker 1: the NFL. He won a Super Bowl. Um, he is,
Speaker 1: he is. I haven't heard anyone say a bad word
Speaker 1: about him as a person, right he is. He could
Speaker 1: not be a more likable person. Um. So as for
Speaker 1: a face of a league and a face of a franchise,
Speaker 1: you could do much, much worse. Um. But like you
Speaker 1: said this, you know what's interesting about the contract. You
Speaker 1: talk about guaranteed money, Um, Ryan Tannehill got similar guaranteed
Speaker 1: money in a four year deal that then Mahomes is
Speaker 1: gonna get in what a ten year deal. Obviously, Tannehill
Speaker 1: was in a different position. Tannehill was was a free agent.
Speaker 1: Mahomes still had two years left on his rookie deal.
Speaker 1: Kansas City didn't have to give him a new contract.
Speaker 1: I think this is a good deal for Kansas City too.
Speaker 1: It's a good deal, right, you get the security for Mahomes,
Speaker 1: but it's a great deal for Kansas City because you
Speaker 1: could talk about five million dollars, but they don't. They
Speaker 1: don't have to pay out this entire deal. Right. He'll
Speaker 1: be a chief as long as the chiefs want him
Speaker 1: to be a chief. That's the bottom line. So it's
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. I think it's seven when that deal,
Speaker 1: that that one year hit goes up to sixty million. Obviously,
Speaker 1: if he's still playing, which it's likely he will be
Speaker 1: still playing at this level, they're not gonna mess around.
Speaker 1: But if he's not and they're gonna take sixty million
Speaker 1: UM off off of you know, a cap hit and
Speaker 1: one player, they may need to restructure that so or
Speaker 1: they may need to go in different directions. Obviously we're speculating,
Speaker 1: but I think it's a good deal for Kansas City
Speaker 1: to to to lock him up because again, the bottom
Speaker 1: line is other than that guaranteed money, which is what
Speaker 1: sixty million um. You know, the Chiefs can cut him
Speaker 1: at any point, right you know, they they if he's
Speaker 1: not performing. And that's the reality of football with uh
Speaker 1: you know, yes, you you got to perform to stay
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs the rest of your career. The Chiefs,
Speaker 1: um the organization really you know, holds the cards at
Speaker 1: a certain point, you know, once you get into the
Speaker 1: you know, the the latter part of that deal. But
Speaker 1: I'm happy for him. I'm happy. I hope that they
Speaker 1: stay together. Um you know, Andy Reid is one of
Speaker 1: the best people out there, and and obviously win in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. The key now is can you know,
Speaker 1: can they can they continue, can they repeat? And uh
Speaker 1: and do it again and and I don't see there's
Speaker 1: any reason why they. Um, you look at what's happening
Speaker 1: around the week, especially in the a f C with
Speaker 1: with New England, um, with Brady no longer there and
Speaker 1: that team was you know, was probably on the downside. Anyway,
Speaker 1: who's gonna who in the a f C is going
Speaker 1: to challenge the Chiefs? You know at this point, um,
Speaker 1: do you need to see X amount of Super Bowl
Speaker 1: wins to justify that con Well, if not for a
Speaker 1: bogus roughing the passer that keeps probably go to the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl two years ago and uh, well a lot
Speaker 1: time right the game side, and then and also probably win.
Speaker 1: They probably beat the Rams. They probably be the Rams.
Speaker 1: I think everyone agrees that. And also it's like people
Speaker 1: are looking at that half a billion that looks huge,
Speaker 1: but when you do year by year, you know, it's
Speaker 1: more like I think I saw like forty five forty
Speaker 1: seven million a year. And then you look at a
Speaker 1: guy like Jared Goff who was getting a guaranteed like
Speaker 1: thirty three million a year, It's like, yeah, it's ten
Speaker 1: million more. It was. It was Russell Wilson was that
Speaker 1: thirty five a year, this is average is out ten
Speaker 1: like forty five, so ten million more. But again it's
Speaker 1: you know, there the chances and and he's a guy
Speaker 1: that could. But I'd be shocked if he's on this
Speaker 1: same contract nine years from now. He's not gonna be
Speaker 1: on this contract four years from They're going to restructure
Speaker 1: it when you know a lot of these other contracts
Speaker 1: with that team are are going away, and they'll be like, oh,
Speaker 1: we need to free up some space so we can
Speaker 1: keep our our team together. Because I imagine that when
Speaker 1: another super bowler two in the next and what he
Speaker 1: said too, because yes, he probably he probably could have
Speaker 1: gotten more money if he waited. Um, but when you're
Speaker 1: talking about that kind of money, we don't and we'll
Speaker 1: never none of us will ever be in that position.
Speaker 1: Um maybe maybe Joe, but you know, to be sitting
Speaker 1: there and sign a deal that is going to set
Speaker 1: you for life and your children and your children's children,
Speaker 1: and to be that type of life changing and to
Speaker 1: have that type of security. Who's default you know, Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes or any player that's going to sign that type
Speaker 1: of contract, good for him. Yeah, every every few years,
Speaker 1: it's it's always a QB that gets a big contract
Speaker 1: because the money keeps going up. Then we're like, this
Speaker 1: is crazy, this is so much. And then a couple
Speaker 1: of years later, a new hot QB. It's a huge contract,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna keep going up because, right, COVID is
Speaker 1: gonna end new television deals, new money, higher salary cap.
Speaker 1: The the NFL is not gonna go you know, they're
Speaker 1: not gonna lose, They're not gonna you know, go down,
Speaker 1: and revenue every year it's gonna go up. And and
Speaker 1: so that that money will be, you know, in a
Speaker 1: part of a bigger contract. Right, it's whoever it is,
Speaker 1: whether it's whether it's a guy like you know, whether
Speaker 1: it's Trevor Trevor, you know, right the Clubs Lawrence quarterback
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence who comes in and maybe he you know,
Speaker 1: maybe he does the same thing that Mahomes has done,
Speaker 1: or you know, McCaffrey. Running backs I think have a
Speaker 1: shorter shelf life. So I don't see him getting that
Speaker 1: type of money um long term. But again, it's good
Speaker 1: for him, and I'm happy to see that he's gonna
Speaker 1: at least stay with the Chiefs for UM, because that's
Speaker 1: an organization. It's it's a sorgization that you know was
Speaker 1: part of the part of the a f L. It's
Speaker 1: been it's been a one of the franchises in the
Speaker 1: NFL that is kind of a good standing franchise and
Speaker 1: and uh, and we'll see how it goes being in
Speaker 1: Kansas City. To the other thing is like, he's not
Speaker 1: going to have the media scrutiny that other markets will
Speaker 1: have if he were to go to a different team.
Speaker 1: And he's won a super Bowl there, nearly went to
Speaker 1: another super Bowl in his first two seasons as the starter.
Speaker 1: So it's like he's he's he's a hearing an icon
Speaker 1: in that city. Like he's he's not gonna it's it's
Speaker 1: gonna be we should be pretty smooth failing for him.
Speaker 1: Is that still a thing? Though? I know it's still
Speaker 1: a thing, But is it's still because of social medium,
Speaker 1: because of the changes is the home market media, Like
Speaker 1: I was saying, oh, you if you can't play in
Speaker 1: New York, you know a lot of guys can't play
Speaker 1: in New York because of the media. Is that still
Speaker 1: as important today as it was twenty years ago? Because yes,
Speaker 1: I think the amount of people that cover you is
Speaker 1: is just more in those cities, Like you're gonna have
Speaker 1: four different beat writers and two calumnists from the New
Speaker 1: York Post, and maybe at the Kansas City Star you've
Speaker 1: got a columnist sent a beat writer, Like you're not
Speaker 1: gonna have the amount of people asking the amount of
Speaker 1: questions to get the content that they need. And so
Speaker 1: maybe that for that reason, I think that's a good point, Travis.
Speaker 1: Like I said, you're you know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: I think I think generally it doesn't matter as much,
Speaker 1: but I do think specifically l A and New York
Speaker 1: there is still a little bit more of a spotlight
Speaker 1: because that's where these news organizations are based. And New
Speaker 1: York specifically, you know, the Post has you know, tableau
Speaker 1: aid sports headlines, so there is just a little bit
Speaker 1: more pressured. But like at this point though, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like if you're a superstar, Like when Lebron went
Speaker 1: back to Cleveland, the media followed, so it didn't you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like, so I agree, it's not
Speaker 1: as big of a deal as it was pre Internet.
Speaker 1: But I think if you're in New York City and
Speaker 1: people hate you, the city will let you know in
Speaker 1: a way that others don't sure. Oh yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: if you're there, And I would agree with that, having
Speaker 1: lived in New York City and New York most of
Speaker 1: my life. It's if you're loved by right you think
Speaker 1: about someone like Derek Jeter. You know, when you're when
Speaker 1: you can perform there, you are good for life, like
Speaker 1: your golden If you can't perform there, you're like persona
Speaker 1: non grata, or say you're like James Dolan. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: you will. You will walk down the street and get
Speaker 1: MF and you will get your own building with your
Speaker 1: own franchise. You will you know, fire Dolan, chance, get
Speaker 1: rid of doll and chance, those types of things. So, um,
Speaker 1: I do agree. In New York is probably a different
Speaker 1: a different beast. But it's uh, you know, I think
Speaker 1: Mahomes is gonna you know then that there's gonna be
Speaker 1: right with a contract like that, there's gonna be additional scrutiny.
Speaker 1: You know, is he like because the Homes You know,
Speaker 1: if he takes a step back next year and maybe
Speaker 1: he doesn't have as good a year, Oh they overpaid
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. We we are a what have you
Speaker 1: done for me lately? Society Uh. You know, that's why
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for Joe to do something for me.
Speaker 1: It's been years and it's never nothing lately, nothing in
Speaker 1: the past, maybe in the future. Joe, what do you mean,
Speaker 1: I do all sorts of things for you. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to wake you up because you haven't been saying anything.
Speaker 1: I'm just playing on. Like. The thing about that deal, though,
Speaker 1: is they paid. I think what they did is they
Speaker 1: paid for that Super Bowl. It's been fifty year drought
Speaker 1: with Kansas City. They're like, let's pay this guy. Let's
Speaker 1: thank him because the money that came in for that
Speaker 1: was probably just no. I just think it was a
Speaker 1: smart deal. I think it's a smart deal because you're
Speaker 1: gonna pay, you know, if he keeps playing it. But
Speaker 1: if he keeps playing the way he's playing, Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: you're getting a discount for these next two rookie contract years.
Speaker 1: But after that you put him on the on the
Speaker 1: open market, you're gonna get him. Yeah. I think it
Speaker 1: was a smart deal, man. I mean, the dude's the
Speaker 1: best best quarterback in the league. He's gonna get better,
Speaker 1: and you you you just locked him up for his
Speaker 1: whole prime. Yeah, well for the next level quarterbacks to
Speaker 1: like Dac and Watson and market doesn't know they shouldn't,
Speaker 1: but now they will. And it's like this, he set
Speaker 1: the market for these other like quarterbacks. I'm all for
Speaker 1: them getting everything they can get, but Dad should not
Speaker 1: be making more. Absolutely not stop. But I'm Jerry, and
Speaker 1: I'll call Jerry and tell him, Jerry just to say stop.
Speaker 1: That's a name drop. But you's have the longevity there.
Speaker 1: You know, you look at the best qub's in the league.
Speaker 1: They've been around most of them. Like, no question, Dean,
Speaker 1: can't you just can't You just tell Jerry? Uh, will
Speaker 1: you see him on the party bus this weekend? I'm
Speaker 1: not Ever since COVID the party bus has been shut down.
Speaker 1: There's actually social distancing guidelines on the party busy. It's
Speaker 1: a little bit different because it's bigger though. So you
Speaker 1: just can't have too many people in one area of
Speaker 1: the yat. That's where you need to go, and you
Speaker 1: gotta wear man's the yacht is. That's that's my next
Speaker 1: that's my next goal, getting on the yacht. Party goals,
Speaker 1: Party goals. All right, let's take a break. When we
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna talk about Joe's love affair with
Speaker 1: Bradley Cooper. Next boy, all right, we're back on good
Speaker 1: Calls and you guys saw did you guys see? Um
Speaker 1: Stars Born? The most recent Stars Born with Lady Gaga
Speaker 1: and Bradley Cooper. I haven't seen it. You haven't seen it,
Speaker 1: watching a ton of movies too, but maybe I'll watch it. Um.
Speaker 1: So Bradley Cooper, right, has been around a long time.
Speaker 1: Bredley Cooper is a good actor. He's been good looking guy,
Speaker 1: likable guy. Um some wedding crashers can wedding crashers. He
Speaker 1: played the he played the jerk, but still right, you
Speaker 1: know the guy was you look at the and why
Speaker 1: am I drawing a blank? Now? The Hangover, Hangover, the Hangover,
Speaker 1: the Hangover movies? Right, So now he sings, he plays
Speaker 1: the guitar, he actually speaks French. And Joe went on
Speaker 1: a tirade about how much he hates Bradley Cooper because
Speaker 1: nobody should have that many like good qualities. See is
Speaker 1: the direct The direct quote was say some of the
Speaker 1: rest of us like, oh, now he sings and now
Speaker 1: he plays the guitar. So I didn't realize how jealous
Speaker 1: Joe was of Bradley Cooper, and like, do you have
Speaker 1: a problem with someone that that is doing well for
Speaker 1: themselves and has a lot of good qualities? Are you?
Speaker 1: You know, are Joe one of you and Bradley Cooper
Speaker 1: ever been in direct competition for anything? For a job,
Speaker 1: a woman, anything, wearing a competition for life? Okay, Bradley
Speaker 1: Cooper doing well in life is taking away from you,
Speaker 1: is negatively impacting. I'm really happy for the guy. I
Speaker 1: was just giving him his props, Like the guys really
Speaker 1: got he was not a friend that he was like
Speaker 1: fuck that guy, and he was not happy with Bradley Cooper.
Speaker 1: It's look, you're tall, you got a great jawline, you're
Speaker 1: a great actor. You speak French. I didn't know this.
Speaker 1: Like the dude's a good looking guy. It's like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know what he's not. He's you know, he's in shape.
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, all right, we don't need the world
Speaker 1: to know that you play the guitar and seeing too, bro,
Speaker 1: like you could have kept that on the back burner.
Speaker 1: Don't tell your first we came up with some things
Speaker 1: we thought Bradley Cooper might not be good at to
Speaker 1: make Joe feel better. So we don't think Bradley Cooper
Speaker 1: is a very good dancer, and so that made Joe
Speaker 1: feel bad. I feel better because I could dance. He's
Speaker 1: probably not that good of an athlete, right, I don't
Speaker 1: remember any of the scenes and wedding crashes where he
Speaker 1: showed off to this athletics c they played football, fame
Speaker 1: anything else. We landed on not a good dancer, dancer,
Speaker 1: and he's been on so twice. So that's something Joe
Speaker 1: has up one up on. Bradley Cooper. Guitar out me
Speaker 1: thinking and I want you don't I want you guys
Speaker 1: to chime in here, But I got me thinking about
Speaker 1: my man crushes over the years. So one of my
Speaker 1: first man crushes, and I've had a man crush on
Speaker 1: him since forever, is Brad Pitt. Yeah, bit is the
Speaker 1: coolest brat I started for me in and I don't
Speaker 1: know which one. I don't know. I think I'm not
Speaker 1: sure which one came out first. I think it was
Speaker 1: Legends of the Fall, which if you haven't seen Legends
Speaker 1: of the Fall, watch it. I mean unbelievable cast. I
Speaker 1: mean that cast is ridiculous. It's it's a little slow
Speaker 1: in the beginning and it picks up. But Brad Pitt
Speaker 1: I wanted to be Brad Pitt in Legends of the
Speaker 1: Fall Tristan. He had the long flowing hair. There he
Speaker 1: was riding horses in Montana. He was like, I remember,
Speaker 1: wasn't there in the trailer there's like a shot where
Speaker 1: he like tips his cap or something like he's wearing
Speaker 1: like a like a cowboy hat or something like tempts
Speaker 1: and it's like it's like there's like water. It's like perfect, yes, yes, perfect.
Speaker 1: So Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall was my
Speaker 1: first man crush. And I've had a man crush on
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt forever. And I mean, and now what thirty
Speaker 1: years later, He's going in Once upon a Time in
Speaker 1: Hollywood and still did like the coolest grade out there.
Speaker 1: So Brad Pitt, for sure, it is like one the
Speaker 1: other man crushed I've had for a while. Um. And
Speaker 1: it started with and and he was unbelievable in a
Speaker 1: time to kill Matthew McConney. And that's where and I
Speaker 1: remember talking to my dad. My dad was like, this
Speaker 1: guy is gonna be a big actor. Like this guy
Speaker 1: is good. And then what did he do? He started
Speaker 1: doing all these rom coms, and then he did this
Speaker 1: rom com, which I'm fine with, you know, get the
Speaker 1: money to do something easy. And then he kind of
Speaker 1: went back and then he won an oscar and and
Speaker 1: did some other things. But the movie that did it
Speaker 1: for me with Matthew McConney was How to Lose a
Speaker 1: Guy in Ten Days? Like I wanted to be him
Speaker 1: in that movie so bad. He was a big like
Speaker 1: ad executive in Manhattan, in New York City. He ends up.
Speaker 1: He ends up with um, what's her name? Who's awesome? Um,
Speaker 1: come on, Kate Hudson. And he's a big Knicks fan
Speaker 1: and the Knicks were in the finals against the Kings
Speaker 1: in the movie, you know, in the finals in the
Speaker 1: nineties several times. You know what's funny, Dean. I remember
Speaker 1: remember Boomerang. I remember thinking I want to be Eddie
Speaker 1: Murphy and Boomerang if I'm ever Eddie Murphy since since
Speaker 1: like Saturday, and he was in New York City, had
Speaker 1: a I think he was an ad exact also, and
Speaker 1: he was just he was just smooth, Eddie Murphy. Eddie
Speaker 1: Murphy grew up was originally from Long Island, not far
Speaker 1: from where I grew up so many Murphy's always I've
Speaker 1: always had Eddie Murphy's like might be top you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know about depending on how you how you
Speaker 1: define talent or when it comes to the entertainment world
Speaker 1: top five most talented people in that in that world,
Speaker 1: well does he sing and play the guitar? Though he sings?
Speaker 1: He single, he had a hit single. My girl likes
Speaker 1: to party all the time. So any anybody and I
Speaker 1: do have a new man crush, more recent one. I'll
Speaker 1: get into that in a second, but anybody, come on, Travis,
Speaker 1: I know you've had a man crush. Well, Brad Pitt
Speaker 1: was one of mine for sure, and and like for
Speaker 1: for the reasons you said, he's just such a great actor.
Speaker 1: He seems like such a cool guy to hang out with,
Speaker 1: right Waterson Waterson? Yeah, Waterson? As soon as you met
Speaker 1: Waterson and days again, fuse you loved him. And like
Speaker 1: Matthew McConaughey, I'm saying like that, I have one. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think like Michael Jordan loved the guy when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, like he just wanted to be
Speaker 1: like Mike. I know, I know I felt like I
Speaker 1: should hold that back, but It's like you wanted to
Speaker 1: be like Mike. He did everything you wanted to. You
Speaker 1: wanted to be an asshole who Well, you didn't see
Speaker 1: that as basketball and was a team as a kid.
Speaker 1: You didn't see that. You just saw it as a
Speaker 1: laugh under a shroud of secrets. See is that what
Speaker 1: you want to be? Yes? Yes, I think Brad Pitt's
Speaker 1: a little short eleven. Here comes Joe, and Joe he's
Speaker 1: got to break him down. He's a little yeah, five
Speaker 1: amazing friends. Like he'd be like he called me and
Speaker 1: he'd be like, Hey, what are you doing. I'm watching
Speaker 1: I'm I'm breaking down the replays from the from the
Speaker 1: Big Ten games, which game the Michigan game that was
Speaker 1: a great call at the end of the third I'd
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, So you'd be like Leo in Once
Speaker 1: upon a Time and he'd just be like, I brought
Speaker 1: there can come over? Yeah, you come over, And then like, dude,
Speaker 1: you can you pick me up? We're gonna go, We're
Speaker 1: gonna go to the studio. Yeah, I'll drop you off. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And when you're crying after blowing a call on air,
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm like, I'm like giving in the mirror
Speaker 1: You're better than that. How could you say that was
Speaker 1: a catch? What you gotta have? You can't have three
Speaker 1: whiskey sours. You have that be Matthew McConaughey would be
Speaker 1: more of the guy that you'd be watching football. I
Speaker 1: like that with don't be annoying, not freaking. And I've
Speaker 1: never been in the same place as Brad Pitt. I
Speaker 1: have rubbed elbows with Matthew McConney. I've never I've never
Speaker 1: been in the same Matthew mcconnee and I've I've I've
Speaker 1: rubbed els elbows with him, and I've acknowledged him. I
Speaker 1: haven't said any words to him, but I've acknowledged him,
Speaker 1: and he was probably like, oh, who's that cool guy?
Speaker 1: But Brad Pitt, I've never been and Bred Pitt. I
Speaker 1: think either has a place in Santa Monico or resides
Speaker 1: here at times. I don't know, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know what I think. He's right here. He's back with
Speaker 1: Jennifer Aniston, all right, that's THEO. I don't. I haven't
Speaker 1: followed his personal life. We have, we have all that
Speaker 1: information out our fingertips. And somebody like Joe who's your
Speaker 1: man crush? And it has to be it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: And you can't say like like Chuck Zito, Chuck Zito back, yes,
Speaker 1: Chuck Zito and and and their last name can't be gracy,

Speaker 1: you've already said Brad Pitt he always is cool and
Speaker 1: it's it's annoying and that he seems to be eating
Speaker 1: cool alert as time goes on, you know who. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing with Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt is kind of
Speaker 1: following like Clooney gets cooler. It's kind of like that,
Speaker 1: Paul Newman, Steve McQueen getting cooler as they get older,
Speaker 1: Sean Connery like Denzel like, you're getting cooler as you get.
Speaker 1: I think Cluney is Cluney was up there on mine too.
Speaker 1: I think he's he's a pretty cool dude. Yeah, Clooney.
Speaker 1: Clooney is good at like by all accounts to he's
Speaker 1: a pretty chill dude. Like when there's like, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of tyrants on set or whatever, he defends other
Speaker 1: people and things looks good. But actually, as far as
Speaker 1: like a character actor guy, I've actually I don't know
Speaker 1: if he's a man crusher. I just I think he's
Speaker 1: very enerrated. Is Steve's on? You know who that is? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Steve in a ton of movies. I feel
Speaker 1: like he shows up in your movie. You're like, Okay,

Speaker 1: Steve Steve's on movie I'm watching. He's a Marshall Minnesota guy.
Speaker 1: That's why you like him Minnesota. But I definitely you've
Speaker 1: seen him in a ton of stuff he was in
Speaker 1: he you know, he was in a lot of those
Speaker 1: like in the nineties, like us in reality bites that

Speaker 1: the rough, That Neil Diamond. You know what, I want
Speaker 1: to take mine back? My all time Randy Cotor. Okay,

Speaker 1: waiting for my invite. I have yet to get it.
Speaker 1: Super cool guy um and obviously has accomplished a martial artist,
Speaker 1: a mixed martial artists as you're gonna get um uh
Speaker 1: And actually I watched where was I. I was just
Speaker 1: telling you this story, Joe, when I was in Vegas
Speaker 1: and him and Brock lessner um that when when Brock
Speaker 1: when Brock knocked him knocked him out? Was that bad?
Speaker 1: That fight? Um? And I was heartbroken because I thought
Speaker 1: he was gonna win. Yeahtre is a bad dude. Man.
Speaker 1: Oh you know one that everyone will say and everyone
Speaker 1: I think will agree is Bill Murray. I don't but
Speaker 1: Bill Murray like man crushes different, Like I don't want
Speaker 1: to be Bill Murray. Like that's what I that, That's
Speaker 1: how I look at I'll say this for all us
Speaker 1: ugly guys out there, he's aspirational because you're like, he's cool,
Speaker 1: he's funny, he loves sports. He's a big Chicago sports guy.
Speaker 1: But no one would ever be like, this is leading man,
Speaker 1: handsome Bill Murray. Yet he has gotten to be a
Speaker 1: leading man. So for all the ug goes out there,
Speaker 1: like myself, it gives you what was the one he did?
Speaker 1: He did the one movie with was it Scarlett jo
Speaker 1: Hansen or yeah, that's with her? Yeah, and that was
Speaker 1: that was leading mannish and that was a romantic yeah,
Speaker 1: And that's when he was doing he was kind of
Speaker 1: transitioning into more serious stuff. But it's just like he's
Speaker 1: had a great career. Every like if he shows up
Speaker 1: at anything, people love him. He's he constantly like shows
Speaker 1: up at people's ways in top five Top five small
Speaker 1: role ever is him in in uh in kingpin Oh?
Speaker 1: He was great in that his hair, his hair and
Speaker 1: that was so big like that, like for a small
Speaker 1: small part in that movie, he's unbelievable. Ernie McCracken, Yes,
Speaker 1: no one. I was thinking that kind of is on
Speaker 1: that same vein like it was just funny. Like Adam
Speaker 1: Sandler was always a guy like he's not what you think.
Speaker 1: That's the way. You don't think of him as like
Speaker 1: the man crush, like you want you want to be him,
Speaker 1: like all the girls want to be with him, Like
Speaker 1: he doesn't fall into that, but he's still just like
Speaker 1: he was the lovable loser kind of guy who always
Speaker 1: growing girl and Billy Madison. He like he's growing as
Speaker 1: an actor. He was always playing funny songs. Like he's
Speaker 1: growing on me for sure, and I like him, whereas
Speaker 1: I was like I was kind of like, but I
Speaker 1: really like him now and he's definitely growing on me. Um,
Speaker 1: but he like for me, that's not a man, Like
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to be Adam Sandler in
Speaker 1: in Uh not None or the one with Kevin Gardner,
Speaker 1: the one we don't jams. That's yeah, that's the worst.
Speaker 1: That's the worst life ever. Like I don't want that.
Speaker 1: I want the opposite of the life he had. There
Speaker 1: that was one big ball of like anxiety. I thought
Speaker 1: it was cool. He's moving and shake and all the
Speaker 1: time there's always something that is going. It was cool,
Speaker 1: just way too much. There was a way too much.
Speaker 1: I love his love his girlfriend in the movie, but
Speaker 1: way too much. And his wife was awesome too. Um
Speaker 1: but no, no, not a not did we get your
Speaker 1: top five or do we get like three years? Here's
Speaker 1: the new one? This is an unknown and this is
Speaker 1: like and I think I mentioned to you this show right,
Speaker 1: the Last Kingdom. The dude that is the lead actor
Speaker 1: in the Last Kingdom, his name is Alexander drama dude
Speaker 1: and Joe, he might land on your This dude is
Speaker 1: is leading man, handsome. He's a great actor like he
Speaker 1: and he's and that's not an easy he's you're playing
Speaker 1: like you can't take certain actors and play that type
Speaker 1: of role, right, you can't. You can't just take you know,
Speaker 1: like think about has George Clooney playing played like a
Speaker 1: braveheart period leading man? You can't just that's different, right,
Speaker 1: So he's good, good, you know, leading man, handsome, great actor.
Speaker 1: He comes from a martial arts background. Joe, he grew
Speaker 1: up Travis. I got one for you. Grew up in Wyoming,

Speaker 1: and he plays Ughtred on Last Kingdom. And I want
Speaker 1: to be what's his name, Alexander Draymond real quick Dean.
Speaker 1: I hope I'm not stealing it thunder. I do want
Speaker 1: to say I've always thought Kiana Reeves as awesome. God
Speaker 1: is that bad? He's a humanitarian. He you you love movies.
Speaker 1: He said speed is great. No, I just he's the
Speaker 1: best worst actor ever, like he see. I disagree with
Speaker 1: that premise. I think people miss cast him. They tried
Speaker 1: to make him do stuff that he wasn't good, you know.
Speaker 1: And And for me, I like, I want you to
Speaker 1: be able to I want you to be able to morph.

Speaker 1: you know, Jacol motto, Like, that's what I want to say.
Speaker 1: So your big thing is they can gain weight. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think we're missing Italian American. I think we're missing
Speaker 1: the obvious one to hear guys, and we've we've focused
Speaker 1: a lot on actors, but we didn't mention Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: Like if any of us say they don't crush on
Speaker 1: I like Tom. I don't have a man crusha. I
Speaker 1: like him. He's got it all. I feel like I
Speaker 1: don't like him. I like him, I don't have a
Speaker 1: man crushaurt him. No, listen, I'm gonna tell you that
Speaker 1: he does have something wrong with in Travis. He's a
Speaker 1: terrible dancer. I witnessed this firsthand. Okay, you've been to
Speaker 1: the super Bowl party with him? Okay, I think that
Speaker 1: the most obvious one. It all comes back to Joe's
Speaker 1: dancing and what he has on guys and that, and
Speaker 1: that's where we started. Kobe Kobe Bryant answer, Kobe Bryant
Speaker 1: is the big one. I mean, dudes are getting his
Speaker 1: his picture tattooed on it. No, that's for next week.
Speaker 1: Next week, we're gonna talk about the rules of getting
Speaker 1: a celebrity tattooed on your body when that's acceptable. Scott's
Speaker 1: face is exactly an agreement with me. But next week
Speaker 1: we talk about that one. I remember. Yeah, So here's
Speaker 1: the thing I want to talk about, dude. Wakeboarding is
Speaker 1: the hardest thing ever in the world. Like I'm I've
Speaker 1: always been a pretty good athlete. I can do a
Speaker 1: lot of different things physically. I we try to try
Speaker 1: to wait for it over the weekend. I didn't my
Speaker 1: first time, and I only tried, like what, I don't
Speaker 1: know seven or eight times. I can't get it. I
Speaker 1: couldn't get up on the board. Like, that's hard, Travis.
Speaker 1: Travis is like surfer, dude, but that's hard. Have you
Speaker 1: have you surf? Have you done? Just like, yeah, that's surf.
Speaker 1: I find surfing to be harder. It's like wakeboarding. I
Speaker 1: thought was was a little bit easier, but surfing is
Speaker 1: more challenging because there's so many more variables with surfing
Speaker 1: that that you don't have with with I just couldn't
Speaker 1: get up with damn boar. You just didn't keep your
Speaker 1: arms back then, you just didn't keep your weight back
Speaker 1: in your arms. Back. I know, I kept falling forward
Speaker 1: and broke with pull away. Yeah, you gotta up your
Speaker 1: arms back. I'm surprised Joe didn't teach you this. Maybe
Speaker 1: it was busy. They did try to teach me. And
Speaker 1: and I'll go again, and I think I'll get it eventually.
Speaker 1: But that that ship is hard. You weren't you weren't
Speaker 1: starting in the optimal Well, first of all, what I
Speaker 1: agree because I watched the video since and I definitely
Speaker 1: was not starting in the optimal position. And you also
Speaker 1: wis my feet were not right? You also went after
Speaker 1: guys who are really good, who they make it look easy.
Speaker 1: They just stand up on the like they literally just
Speaker 1: get up you. What you need to do is you
Speaker 1: need to get in like a like a fetal position,
Speaker 1: your knees at your chest and just let the boat
Speaker 1: pull you. And it's also in your defense, we're on
Speaker 1: a river, so the water is not still. If you're
Speaker 1: on like a lake and the water is just flat,
Speaker 1: you could literally just lay there and you don't move.
Speaker 1: But when you're on a river, it's moving constantly. Well,
Speaker 1: then we need to go on a lake because that
Speaker 1: ship was hard. I mean, are you going to post
Speaker 1: the video on Twitter so we can see it. There's
Speaker 1: nothing to see. It's me. It's me bobbing my head
Speaker 1: in the water from a rope, pulling away from my
Speaker 1: arms and me like smashing my hands against the water.
Speaker 1: And you just hear my question for you. Did you
Speaker 1: get a bloody nose doing it? No? No, then then
Speaker 1: you were Yeah? Then then your hard was my first
Speaker 1: time as I got pulled over, smashed face right, Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the is. And then just the same thing. You
Speaker 1: let your arms get all the way extended and then
Speaker 1: the boat just takes you forward and you smash straight down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got a bloody nose. But my first I didn't
Speaker 1: get up my very first try. Um, but I did
Speaker 1: get up out. Sorry, I'll try it again. The other
Speaker 1: thing that that Joe got to witness. Here's the Did
Speaker 1: you guys know that there's an arrow in the FedEx logo? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Scott did get space. Yeah, there's yes, I had no idea.
Speaker 1: I did some graphics. Now you can't let me see it.
Speaker 1: See it one of the greatest logos of all this listening.
Speaker 1: There's an arrow between right and yeah, well the D
Speaker 1: and the E and X and the X. There's an
Speaker 1: arrow and it's pointing to the right. It's it's insane, dude,
Speaker 1: So I know the insane they let me tell you, guys,
Speaker 1: the live version of Brain of Blandino. It is amazing,
Speaker 1: like the things this dude. We we hung out for
Speaker 1: a couple of days over over Fourth of July weekend

Speaker 1: what's happening in your mind. And there was a couple
Speaker 1: of other ones too, right there, there's a couple other
Speaker 1: like just weird, random Brandon Blandino thoughts. And I was like,
Speaker 1: this is the live version of Brandon Blandino. It was
Speaker 1: just incredible to just be part of it. In the
Speaker 1: moment started talking about the celebrities and when is it
Speaker 1: okay to tattoo a celebrity on your body? Like when
Speaker 1: is that ever? So that was like, so we'll talk

Speaker 1: But there's speaking of brand of Blandio, let's do one

Speaker 1: that's a very strong like message. That's aggressive. You need
Speaker 1: to be You need to be very cool to pull
Speaker 1: off a black dress shirt with like a black like
Speaker 1: sports code or black tie. You have to be like
Speaker 1: Keana Reese, that's pretty cool. I did have. But where
Speaker 1: where are you going? Like? Where is that guy going? Like?
Speaker 1: Where is he going with a black dresser? I mean said,
Speaker 1: you ever want a black dresser? I probably have, but
Speaker 1: I don't know. Wedding, I don't know. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: black dress shirt to a wed maybe not. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think. I think I might have won
Speaker 1: one back. Actually, I grew up in Long Island, so
Speaker 1: I was former Guido, So I probably wore one like
Speaker 1: a sweet sixteen. Yeah, I probably wore one to a
Speaker 1: school dance. Probably was like a black silk one. But
Speaker 1: that's probably the last time I don't know, you were
Speaker 1: rocking a black silk dress shirt to a slow dance.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, did you get any You definitely cut well.
Speaker 1: I probably won the school dance contest, and I probably
Speaker 1: I probably like got a you know, a chicken pack
Speaker 1: after the dance from my lady friend or definitely maybe
Speaker 1: at the roller rink back in the day girls were
Speaker 1: in the class like three eight how many I mean
Speaker 1: my graduating classes in a small hook up to get
Speaker 1: everybody hooked up with everybody black. But I think a
Speaker 1: black shirt is better if it's like the less formal part,
Speaker 1: like you're of the entire outfit, like you're wearing a
Speaker 1: suit jacket or a sport coat, but there's no color.
Speaker 1: Can you can you wear with that? You were like,
Speaker 1: you can wear like a charcoal I think, or like
Speaker 1: a blue, like navy blue. But it looks weird, it's
Speaker 1: very it's a coggressive. But black dress shirt is a coggressive.
Speaker 1: I think you have to look like a model if
Speaker 1: you want to pull it off. Otherwise usually just look
Speaker 1: like like you said, like a mafia hit man going
Speaker 1: to a funeral and just talk to the wardrobe folks,
Speaker 1: and you know what that's I'm gonna text. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: text Victoria and ask her when because I know they don't.
Speaker 1: I've never they've never put out on like I've ever
Speaker 1: seen that any of our talent. You've got a fashion
Speaker 1: good right, and they're not and they're not shot at
Speaker 1: like they you know, they're not conservative. Um, but a
Speaker 1: black dress shirt is I don't know. I don't say it.
Speaker 1: You don't say it very often. I think you could
Speaker 1: get away with it with like mean, if you're going
Speaker 1: to a club in Vegas or something maybe, I mean
Speaker 1: if you're going to a nightclub. But then but then
Speaker 1: you're that guy, like you're like, we've all seen that
Speaker 1: guy in the nightclub. He's got his caller outside of
Speaker 1: his jacket. Yes, the dress shirt that I did have
Speaker 1: is black, but it's button up. I wouldn't even call
Speaker 1: a dress shirt. I mean it's short sleeve. It's a
Speaker 1: Lululemon black different short short sleeve casuals different. I don't
Speaker 1: have a long sleeve black. Black is a good color.
Speaker 1: Like I think black. I like black the swimming color.

Speaker 1: I got I guess June kind of fell off the
Speaker 1: wagon because I was buying not the pint, but like
