Speaker 1: Welcome to Good Calls with Dean Blandina, a production of
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. Welcome to Good Calls. I'm Dean Blandino.
Speaker 1: As always, I got Travis Hanson with me and Travis,
Speaker 1: what's up. What's up man? It's been a while. Huh,
Speaker 1: it's been a week. At the same time, as always,
Speaker 1: we've hung out. Okay, um, And then on audio Joe
Speaker 1: Joe Madrid, Joe. I wanna say, you're doing a great
Speaker 1: job handing out compliments, getting better every week. The bar
Speaker 1: was set low, but it's getting better every week. And
Speaker 1: in a special shout out, Joe, great job getting us
Speaker 1: all this audio equipment from Oscar at Rolands, hooking us
Speaker 1: up with headphones and cables and everything else. Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you Oscar. Yes, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Let's get right into it. Week nine NFL let's talk
Speaker 1: past interference review kind of. We were in this mode
Speaker 1: going into really last week where the league was, you know,
Speaker 1: almost overboard in terms of not overturning calls, very consistent look,
Speaker 1: basically sending the message it's gonna have to be something
Speaker 1: so obvious to overturn a call on the field. And uh,
Speaker 1: and we did get an overturned last week in the
Speaker 1: which I predicted, thank you very much, in the Indianapolis
Speaker 1: Denver game, and we were talking about it during the
Speaker 1: week and actually in the Cube this weekend that it
Speaker 1: felt like that might have given the coaches a little
Speaker 1: bit of a glimmer of hope. And what we did
Speaker 1: see in in week nine so far is we've had
Speaker 1: ten total reviews for past inferance, eight coaches challenges. So
Speaker 1: you compare that to the previous two weeks where there
Speaker 1: were only four in each of the previous two weeks,
Speaker 1: so a total for the two weeks prior and and
Speaker 1: ten total just this week, So coaches a little more
Speaker 1: aggressive in terms of challenging. One call overturned. It was
Speaker 1: actually a call that was made on the field for
Speaker 1: offensive past inferance in the Vikings Chiefs game and and
Speaker 1: it was picked up. There were three reviews in that
Speaker 1: game Minnesota Kansas City for pasting inferrance review. You had
Speaker 1: a challenge by by Mike Zimmer on a on a
Speaker 1: play the Chiefs completed a past you had Sammy Watkins
Speaker 1: potentially blocking downfield before the ball was caught. Zimmer throws
Speaker 1: the challenge flag the call in the field stands. Look,
Speaker 1: I thought this was past inferiance. I thought Watkins was
Speaker 1: clearly blocking downfield. Vikings fans were upset because you go
Speaker 1: back to a Dalvin Cook play week two against the Packers,
Speaker 1: took away a touchdown for for steffound Diggs and that
Speaker 1: was called past deference. I thought that was probably less
Speaker 1: of a foul than the US one. On watching, And yes,
Speaker 1: Zimmer kind of lost his his mind a little bit,
Speaker 1: understandably so, but this is this is the subjectivity of
Speaker 1: this call. And and uh, you know, obviously they felt
Speaker 1: it wasn't. It wasn't clear and obvious. But when you're
Speaker 1: talking about blocking, and we've been using this language consistently
Speaker 1: throughout these conversations, you're talking about past inference, and the
Speaker 1: language says, it's this contact that significantly hinders your opponent's
Speaker 1: ability to make a play on the ball. Significantly hindered
Speaker 1: is in the book, but that does not apply. That
Speaker 1: language doesn't apply to blocking down field. That the significantly
Speaker 1: hindered language isn't in the article that that applies to
Speaker 1: blocking downfield. So you're either blocking downfield or you're not.
Speaker 1: And it and it did look like it did look
Speaker 1: like Watkins was blocking downfield. Call stood UM and we
Speaker 1: got very interesting into the first half. Two reviews initiated
Speaker 1: by the play booth, and UH one actually took away
Speaker 1: a past inference quall on the Kwan Treadmill that was
Speaker 1: called on the field, and I thought that was a
Speaker 1: good decision, and we were talking about it in the studio,
Speaker 1: and I thought that was a good decision because the
Speaker 1: defender actually initiated the contact with Treadwill. And when you
Speaker 1: talk about a receiver, what kind of receiver doing a
Speaker 1: defender can initiate contact within five yards? And UH and
Speaker 1: the receiver can use his hands arms to get off
Speaker 1: of that contact to get into his route. He can't,
Speaker 1: he can't push off into the body, but he can
Speaker 1: swim through. He can use use his hands to try
Speaker 1: to work through that contact. AID a nice, nice job
Speaker 1: like sidestepping on that sidestep swim through and UH and
Speaker 1: so thought it was a good job. I thought they
Speaker 1: did a good job of picking that that flag up
Speaker 1: and and it negated. UM took the foul away and
Speaker 1: it actually ended up being a nineteen yard game for
Speaker 1: the Vikings. And then and then a little bit further UM,
Speaker 1: I believe in that in that drive, the replay officials
Speaker 1: stop the game to look at a potential past inference
Speaker 1: defensive past inferance contact on Kyle Rudolph. It was interesting
Speaker 1: because we were doing the game and uh it was
Speaker 1: it was Kevin Burkhardt and Charles Davis who were on
Speaker 1: the call and the referee, you know, the referee has
Speaker 1: no idea the referees on the field. The referee gets
Speaker 1: word from upstairs that we're gonna take a look at
Speaker 1: the play for possible past inference, but the referee doesn't
Speaker 1: know it's thirty two or forty seven. So we're sitting
Speaker 1: there and trying to figure out what contact are they
Speaker 1: looking at. Normally it's pretty obvious it's where the ball is,
Speaker 1: but this you had several you had defenders and receivers
Speaker 1: in the vicinity of football that I think there were
Speaker 1: um four, you know to two defenders two receivers, So
Speaker 1: it was questionable as to who they were actually looking at.
Speaker 1: But we finally went through and uh and the call
Speaker 1: of the field stood. But again it goes into the
Speaker 1: subjectivity of this call. And and now you know, are
Speaker 1: you going to are you are mechanically as a replay ficual.
Speaker 1: Are you're looking at every eligible receiver inside two minutes
Speaker 1: or on a touchdown pass to see if there's offensive
Speaker 1: past inference or on an interception to see if there's
Speaker 1: defensive past inference. I think the league has done a
Speaker 1: really nice job of not stopping the game um and
Speaker 1: an inordinate amount of times, but it does. You know,
Speaker 1: the potential is there as we get into these two
Speaker 1: minute windows and on scoring plays and turnovers when it's
Speaker 1: automatically reviewable. But I think as a fan, this is
Speaker 1: when you want to see him stop it for sure, though,
Speaker 1: don't you agreed? Joe? Absolutely nice job, Joe. I do
Speaker 1: have a question for you doing on the on the
Speaker 1: treadwell play, and what's the on field officials seeing to
Speaker 1: even throw that flag in the first place? Yeah, you know, okay,
Speaker 1: So so you have treadwell. Was the widest receiver on
Speaker 1: that side of the field, what you'd call the number
Speaker 1: one receiver if you're looking at you go, you go
Speaker 1: outside in and depending on the formation, UM, the widest
Speaker 1: receiver would be number one, and then inside of him too,
Speaker 1: you could have three to that side. UM, so one
Speaker 1: to three going from the sideline the boundary in so
Speaker 1: the number one receiver. Though, why this receiver in the
Speaker 1: formation is the deep wing officials responsibility Initially, that's the
Speaker 1: side judge of the field judge. That's the official that's
Speaker 1: on the sideline. Typically eighteen to twenty yards down field.
Speaker 1: They can cheat a little bit on third and long um,
Speaker 1: but typically eighteen to twenty and so the official will
Speaker 1: look at that. They will find the official will find
Speaker 1: a mark, a point of demarcation, a landmark that will
Speaker 1: in his or her mind say that's my five yard zone, right,
Speaker 1: So so that once the contact goes past that five yards,
Speaker 1: now I have potential illegal contact. So they have that.
Speaker 1: They're looking at who's initiating the contact. Is the defender
Speaker 1: moving laterally into the receiver as the receiver trying to
Speaker 1: to run a route. Is the receiver pushing off as
Speaker 1: the receiver trying to swim through. So they're looking at
Speaker 1: all of this, and I think from that officials angle,
Speaker 1: he did see Treadwell kind of trying to swim through
Speaker 1: with his left arm, and maybe in his mind he
Speaker 1: thought that was an extension of the arm. A push
Speaker 1: off throws the flag. Because again, remember we get the
Speaker 1: benefit of looking at these replays from camera angles most
Speaker 1: of the time that are not the perspective of the official,
Speaker 1: right because you know it's a high camera, it's an
Speaker 1: end zone shot. Very rarely do we actually see the
Speaker 1: officials perspective could look different. You know, a lot of
Speaker 1: the networks are doing you know, official hat cam and
Speaker 1: so that that technology has gotten better to where it's
Speaker 1: not it's not so kind of shaky to where you
Speaker 1: can get a really good look. But that's what the
Speaker 1: official would be looking for in that situation. So it's
Speaker 1: very likely he just saw him swimming and he at
Speaker 1: that angle could look like he was pushing off or
Speaker 1: initiating the contact exactly exactly, and I think that's I
Speaker 1: think that's what happened. And uh and obviously you know,
Speaker 1: with the benefit of replay, and I thought they did
Speaker 1: they did a nice job of picking the flag up
Speaker 1: and a good job of just stopping it inside of
Speaker 1: two minutes, because we've seen plays where look like past inference,
Speaker 1: whether it was inside too or on a scoring play,
Speaker 1: and they didn't stop the game. So I thought that
Speaker 1: was a good job. Great to see that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: like that that how that whole thing played out, because
Speaker 1: when I was looking at I was just like, there's
Speaker 1: no way, that's just a bad call. And we like
Speaker 1: good calls here, like Joe, great work, great job there.
Speaker 1: I could see like he was setting that up wheel
Speaker 1: mile away. He was setting that up. Do you think
Speaker 1: they ever kind of sneak a peek up to the
Speaker 1: TV and go, you know what the video board in
Speaker 1: the stadium. That is you will see from time to time,
Speaker 1: and some some cruise are very good at it. Some
Speaker 1: cruise are not so good at it. But you will
Speaker 1: see watch, you know, when you get a bunch of
Speaker 1: officials together. And I think this is has has lessened
Speaker 1: over the years. His replay has become more involved. But
Speaker 1: you'll have a group of officials discussing it and then
Speaker 1: you'll have one official like kind of off to the side,
Speaker 1: but you'll see him kind of peeking up at the
Speaker 1: you know, at the heavens, and he's looking up at
Speaker 1: the video board and he may just nod like, can
Speaker 1: we get these guys sunglasses and just well, you know,
Speaker 1: officials can't wear sunglasses, and uh, and you know, but
Speaker 1: that does happen from time to time, and uh, look
Speaker 1: that you want to get it right. And but again
Speaker 1: at not at the expense of extraordinary delay to the game.
Speaker 1: And then I think that's important too. Uh and then uh,
Speaker 1: you know the last one before we get into just
Speaker 1: some stats. There was DeVante Parker in the in the
Speaker 1: um Jets Dolphins game. Was was called for offensive past deference.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins challenged and the call stood. It looked kind
Speaker 1: of similar to the to the Treadwell play, with the
Speaker 1: defender actually initiating contact and then Parker trying to get
Speaker 1: off of that contact. There may have been a little
Speaker 1: bit more of an arm extension and and so I
Speaker 1: can I can understand a little bit more, um why
Speaker 1: they let this call stand, but very similar. But again
Speaker 1: it just underscores the subjectivity of these calls, and we're
Speaker 1: not replay was really put into fix the obvious error
Speaker 1: and to allow the technology to help us see things
Speaker 1: that we couldn't see in real time. Right, Well, these calls,
Speaker 1: we're seeing them in real time. But it's just judgment.
Speaker 1: And in in my judgment, I didn't think it was
Speaker 1: enough contact to significant significantly hinder And now we're just
Speaker 1: replacing one person's judgment with another, and so it doesn't
Speaker 1: make us to look at it multiple times. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess and and so now you know, and you know
Speaker 1: if you slow something down, you you guys have watched
Speaker 1: enough football to know that if you watch something in
Speaker 1: real time versus slow motion, it looks different, especially when
Speaker 1: you're talking about contact with with between players. And I
Speaker 1: think that's just something we have to Joe and I
Speaker 1: talked about it all the time in the Cube too.
Speaker 1: How quickly you can see stuff that I had no
Speaker 1: idea was even happening, and you'll see it on the
Speaker 1: screen when we're watching it, Like, it's just amazing how
Speaker 1: quickly you see it. So these guys on the field
Speaker 1: are incredible as well. It's incredible. And I've I've watched
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of hours of tape from an officiating lens,
Speaker 1: so so that's just that's just reps. But these guys
Speaker 1: on the field, the officials on the field, it's unbelievable
Speaker 1: how much they get right. And and we're sitting there
Speaker 1: going you watch, you know, you watch a spot at
Speaker 1: the spots at the spots or you know, at the
Speaker 1: goal line when the ball is six inches short of
Speaker 1: the goal line and we're we're waiting for a goal
Speaker 1: line shot, and we go, oh, there it is that
Speaker 1: official made the call in real time, different angle, and
Speaker 1: so it's really it's really impressive. Um past inferrance reviews
Speaker 1: that I talked about, you know, ten total this this
Speaker 1: week week nine so far and uh and and so
Speaker 1: they were going into the week there were fifty two
Speaker 1: total reviews, eight reverse. So this week so far we
Speaker 1: had ten more. So it takes us to sixty two
Speaker 1: with one being reverse. So unofficial numbers as right now,
Speaker 1: and uh and when we just look at just a
Speaker 1: kind of a summary of where we are in terms
Speaker 1: of the game itself, penalties are still up. So going
Speaker 1: into week eight or I'm sorry, going into week nine,
Speaker 1: we were at seventeen point eight four per game, which
Speaker 1: is up from fifteen point nine one per game. Again
Speaker 1: that that sweet spot, that historical kind of average has
Speaker 1: been right between fifteen and sixteen a game. And uh
Speaker 1: and so we're still up. But I I would, and
Speaker 1: this is not a bold prediction because this is based
Speaker 1: on years and years of seeing this, I would imagine
Speaker 1: second half of the season, especially as we get into
Speaker 1: the later the later weeks, we're gonna see the penalty
Speaker 1: numbers drop, you know, not significantly, but we're gonna see
Speaker 1: that number drop, and I would I would imagine if
Speaker 1: we're at seventeen point eight per game by the end
Speaker 1: of the season, I think will be somewhere in the sixteens.
Speaker 1: I really do, because UM, you do see those numbers
Speaker 1: start to drop as the season goes on. UM you
Speaker 1: look at game time. Game time is relatively close to
Speaker 1: where we were last year three oh six eighteen compared
Speaker 1: to three oh six ten. So I don't think game
Speaker 1: time him is an issue. I know the league is
Speaker 1: is really trying to eliminate some of that downtime, and
Speaker 1: I think they're really trying to get as close to
Speaker 1: three hours as possible. I think three hour game is
Speaker 1: is almost impossible with the number of commercial breaks and
Speaker 1: and replay and everything else, but not significantly up. The
Speaker 1: one thing that does concern me is the number of
Speaker 1: plays and and and we've talked about this is right
Speaker 1: now at least through week eight, so going into week nine,
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty three point six plays per game that's offense, defense,
Speaker 1: special teams. UM. That's a low number. Okay, they may
Speaker 1: not seem like a lot, but that's a low number,
Speaker 1: UM compared to one fifty six point four and twenty
Speaker 1: eighteen point one fifty seven point three, sixteen eight point one,
Speaker 1: fifteen through eight weeks. So when you start to drop
Speaker 1: one three one fifty two, you know, we haven't seen
Speaker 1: it dropped below one f fifty UM since the forty
Speaker 1: second clock went in went into um was implemented in
Speaker 1: really important that that number. When you talk about the
Speaker 1: health of the game, plays are your you know, I
Speaker 1: never I don't like there are a lot of people
Speaker 1: in the NFL that used to call it a product.
Speaker 1: I don't like to call it a product. But for
Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, that's your product. You're you.
Speaker 1: You are giving the public and your fans and everyone plays.
Speaker 1: They don't watch the game to see officials. They don't
Speaker 1: watch the game to see, you know, the coach on
Speaker 1: the sideline. They want to see Aaron Rodgers throwing an
Speaker 1: unbelievable touchdown pass, you know, to Jimmy Graham. They want
Speaker 1: to see Tom Brady, they want to see you know,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. They want to see see these guys that
Speaker 1: are the most unbelievable athletes in the world. And plays
Speaker 1: are what gives the fans the game. And and so
Speaker 1: that's really important that that number. We continue to watch
Speaker 1: it and uh and I would love to see that
Speaker 1: number start to rise. I do worry that it may
Speaker 1: not because as the games, as we get into colder
Speaker 1: weather and we start running the ball more and and
Speaker 1: and inclement weather. UM less place. And that's been again
Speaker 1: consistent throughout history that plays have tended to go have
Speaker 1: tend to go down as the season goes on. So again, UM,
Speaker 1: just some stats on the health of the game, and
Speaker 1: we'll continue to update those as we go along through
Speaker 1: the season. We're gonna take a break and when we
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna talk a little used to the helmet.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about when it's okay Travis to throw
Speaker 1: your shoe throw your shoe. Next on Good Calls. All right,
Speaker 1: we're back on Good Call. A lot of discussion about
Speaker 1: sky Judge video official that concept. I thought there was
Speaker 1: a really good example of a play on Sunday in
Speaker 1: the It was actually in the London game Houston Houston
Speaker 1: used US Houston and Jacksonville and it was in the
Speaker 1: second or now I'm sorry, the third quarter and and
Speaker 1: Klais Campbell hit Deshaun Watson. Watson was running and Clais
Speaker 1: Campbell came in and hit him and the official through
Speaker 1: the flag for use of the helmet, and that's initiating
Speaker 1: lowering the head and initiating forceable contact with the with
Speaker 1: the helmet. And and look, that's a tough call, officials.
Speaker 1: I mean the number of times a player, you know,
Speaker 1: lowers his head and there's contact with the helmet, this
Speaker 1: is a really tough call. And uh, and the official
Speaker 1: saw Calais Campbell Lower's head, which he did, but he
Speaker 1: missed him with the helmet, you know, looked like he
Speaker 1: got him with the shoulder. Maybe maybe there was a
Speaker 1: graze at the helmet, but it certainly wasn't forcible. That's
Speaker 1: a fifteen year penalty pretty soon grapnificant and there was.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good illustration or a good
Speaker 1: example of a play where had there been a video
Speaker 1: official sky judge that could just quickly get in the
Speaker 1: year of the official and the refereence saying hey there's
Speaker 1: no foul, pick up the flag and even before and
Speaker 1: I think this is so important, this is this concept.
Speaker 1: For this concept to work, that information has to be
Speaker 1: passed along before the penalty is enforced. Okay, So so
Speaker 1: even if it's before the announcement. And again that's gonna
Speaker 1: depend on when the angles are available and things like that.
Speaker 1: But the let we don't want the penalty to be
Speaker 1: enforced March of fifteen. And now we say no, there's
Speaker 1: no foul. Now we got to go back where where
Speaker 1: we put in the football and almost becomes another replay review.
Speaker 1: For a video official sky judge to work, it has
Speaker 1: to be seamless, and it has to be as soon
Speaker 1: as the flag is thrown. They're talking about it the referee.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, you have wireless communication. What do you have?
Speaker 1: We've got to use helmet foul. I'm looking at it now,
Speaker 1: it's not there, pick up the flag. Could this this
Speaker 1: sky jub side Judge sky Judge concept excuse me, come
Speaker 1: into play if you had like a control center who
Speaker 1: had all the angles, and that control center could look
Speaker 1: at it and call down into the refereene. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: definitely could. I think the the NFL is looking at
Speaker 1: that concept of of there's systems out there that allow
Speaker 1: you to take in multiple camera feeds. So right now
Speaker 1: the replay system is taking in what the program feed,
Speaker 1: which is what the truck is basically you know, sending out,
Speaker 1: everybody sees it what everybody sees at home, and uh,
Speaker 1: and so you are waiting for the truck and the
Speaker 1: producer to choose an angle and then show it. And
Speaker 1: so what this system would allow the people in New York,
Speaker 1: the replay official, whoever has access to it, they would
Speaker 1: have access to multiple camera angles immediately, so they could
Speaker 1: go through and pinpoint the right angle and say, no,
Speaker 1: it's not a foul. Where it is a foul. And
Speaker 1: and I think not that I don't ever want to
Speaker 1: see a day. I think it would just be too
Speaker 1: cumbersome for every call to be confirmed by by a
Speaker 1: video official. I think the video official sky judge where
Speaker 1: that could work. It's when it's clear that it's not
Speaker 1: a foul, that hey, not a foul, pick up the flag,
Speaker 1: let's keep it moving. And I think that's I think
Speaker 1: that's really could you see that happen with replay as well,
Speaker 1: where you're not gonna stop and have them go through
Speaker 1: the whole thing of looking under the hundred percent. One
Speaker 1: of the thing that drives me wild, I know we
Speaker 1: talked about it in the studio, is when um, and
Speaker 1: it happens more in the college game, is when they're
Speaker 1: gonna overturn the call in the field, and then they
Speaker 1: start writing on the car and it's just like, I
Speaker 1: get it drives you nuts. You start they're writing down, Okay,
Speaker 1: what's the next spot and all that thing. But my
Speaker 1: point is you have wireless communication. The referee can be speaking.
Speaker 1: When the referee is getting that information from the replay official.
Speaker 1: The referee can just reiterate it, and then the officials
Speaker 1: that can hear the referee, they can start putting the
Speaker 1: ball where it needs to be, getting ready to reset
Speaker 1: the clock, the chains, the downmark or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: I think the process can be more efficient and uh
Speaker 1: and again that will continue to will work through that
Speaker 1: and continue to uh, you know, get better and get
Speaker 1: to get more efficient to let people get inside of
Speaker 1: the cube. But we do a little more like you're
Speaker 1: doing that with the game producer. They're giving us the
Speaker 1: shots and you're looking at it, Okay, what they're talking
Speaker 1: about here, When when we're not on the air, you're
Speaker 1: telling them in the year like, oh, this is what
Speaker 1: they're writing, this is where the ball is gonna be,
Speaker 1: this how much time is gonna be back on the clock.
Speaker 1: So essentially that person could be doing that for for
Speaker 1: the league, and that's and that's one of the things,
Speaker 1: it's one of the goals is And then you hear
Speaker 1: it a lot where people say, hey, we can see it.
Speaker 1: What's taking them so long? Well, they're there's just built
Speaker 1: in delays in the process. The referee coming over, put
Speaker 1: the headset on looking at the little device there, getting
Speaker 1: the getting all of the new spot information and the
Speaker 1: human element, human element, you know. So again that's that's
Speaker 1: all going to happen as technology continues to get better,
Speaker 1: and I think these processes are going to become even
Speaker 1: more efficient. Um So, Indie Pittsburgh, This was an interesting player.
Speaker 1: I didn't see it. I didn't see it live. And
Speaker 1: uh I didn't see it live, but it was it
Speaker 1: was Pittsburgh. It was a Pittsburgh defender, Steven Nelson, and
Speaker 1: he lost his shoe and and the game clock was running,
Speaker 1: the play clock was running. He lost his shoe and
Speaker 1: he was almost as if like he expected everybody to
Speaker 1: stop waving his official It's kind of like Joe when
Speaker 1: Joe gets a new pair of Nikes Jordan's, he comes
Speaker 1: in waving it and he's like, hey, look at me,
Speaker 1: look a look at these Jordans but waving his and
Speaker 1: so the mechanic there is, look, especially the game clocks running,
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta figure it out. Get the shoe
Speaker 1: back on. We're not stopping the game, because if if
Speaker 1: the officials stopped the game for something a non safety
Speaker 1: related equipment issue, then you could potentially manipulate the clock
Speaker 1: and sent two minutes take your shoe off. So and
Speaker 1: it was funny because he's waving his shoe and then
Speaker 1: he goes to the ground and and I didn't see
Speaker 1: the official, but I'm pretty sure the official told him
Speaker 1: to get up because he wasn't hurt, and he ended
Speaker 1: up having to play the down with one shoe, but
Speaker 1: he the interesting thing was where he put his shoe. Well,
Speaker 1: then then he threw his shoe into the offensive backfield
Speaker 1: and it didn't interfere with anything, but certainly could have
Speaker 1: been you know, if that had hit the quarterback or
Speaker 1: had had interfered with the operation of the snap, that
Speaker 1: could have been the lay game. It could have been
Speaker 1: un sportsmanlike conduct. Bottom line is, officials don't stop the game,
Speaker 1: especially when the game clox running to to fix a
Speaker 1: a non safety equipment issue. And uh and so you
Speaker 1: the players have to figure that out and they either
Speaker 1: get to the sideline and get a sub in or
Speaker 1: they fixed their shoe, tie their shoe, whatever it is.
Speaker 1: But it was it was pretty funny that it didn't
Speaker 1: appear that he was throwing it at anyone, But what
Speaker 1: if he did throw it at someone? Like, is that
Speaker 1: going to be like the same as throwing a punch?
Speaker 1: Is that adjectable? And no, no, no, no it's not.
Speaker 1: Obviously you weren't just listening when I said that. It
Speaker 1: could be the lay A game, or it could be
Speaker 1: on sports Malike conducts. So what I'm saying, if he okay,
Speaker 1: and you're on a you're on a word count. Now, um,
Speaker 1: let's let's shift gears. Let's go let's talk a little
Speaker 1: college football. And uh, I got a big game coming
Speaker 1: up Alabama l s U one and two in the
Speaker 1: in the a P pole. But you don't even know
Speaker 1: he was a version until he was eight. Now I
Speaker 1: love that. So, um, Tuesday, we get our first CFP
Speaker 1: rankings and a lot of speculation. I mean, this is like,
Speaker 1: I mean, it feels like the the stuff that goes
Speaker 1: into this, all of the computer rankings and the strength
Speaker 1: of schedule and all this stuff. But the bottom line
Speaker 1: is we're gonna get the first CFP rankings on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: and I want to see I want you guys. We're
Speaker 1: all gonna give us your top four teams. So Joe,
Speaker 1: who's gonna be? Give me one through four? Um in
Speaker 1: the CFP rankings? What do you got? I got Ohio
Speaker 1: stated number one. I think they're the most balanced team.
Speaker 1: They got the best defensive player, old Chase Young number two.
Speaker 1: I'm going l s U. They've got the Heisman favorite
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. Uh. Then I'm going Obama. I love their
Speaker 1: wide receiving corps and they got to AH and I
Speaker 1: mean they're Bama. I mean, will they have to will be,
Speaker 1: you know. And then I'm just for four. I'm just
Speaker 1: going with the defending champs Clemson. So pretty I'm not
Speaker 1: going out much of alleged there. But no, I'm not
Speaker 1: going out on a limit there. I got the same teams,
Speaker 1: but I got Clemson in in Ohio state flip flop
Speaker 1: because they're the champion. You gotta just keep him at
Speaker 1: the top. I can tell somebody throws them. You just
Speaker 1: leave him at the top. So I got Clemson L
Speaker 1: S U, Obama, and Ohio State. I think we all
Speaker 1: have the four teams the same, but I'm the only
Speaker 1: one that has them in the right order. Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: so I'm going to L s U, O how State.
Speaker 1: This is, This is not necessarily this is the prediction
Speaker 1: for the CFP. Right, So L s U, Ohio State, Obama,
Speaker 1: and Clemson. That's that's your order market down. That's what's
Speaker 1: gonna talk about this next week. And we'll talk about
Speaker 1: it next week. But if you're big, big big game
Speaker 1: coming up on Saturday, A couple of big games, big
Speaker 1: big ten match up undefeated Penn State, which is not
Speaker 1: that surprising, but undefeated Minnesota golfers the Gophers row the
Speaker 1: boat with p J Fleck. All right, um, now let's
Speaker 1: go let's talk a little Major League Baseball. I'm not
Speaker 1: you know, this was something not that we're experts. I'm
Speaker 1: certainly not an expert in baseball rules, but I did
Speaker 1: think it was interesting and that you had the World Series. Look,
Speaker 1: the Nationals end up winning um the World Series Game six.
Speaker 1: There was a controversial call in that game and it
Speaker 1: involved Trade Turner. It was in the seventh inning, which
Speaker 1: was a pivotal inning. Washington ended up blowing it open
Speaker 1: in that inning, but it was a pivotal could have
Speaker 1: been a really pivotal call where Trade Turner was called
Speaker 1: out for for running out of the baseline. He and
Speaker 1: he hit, he hit the first baseman's glove and uh
Speaker 1: and sucked the ball out. And this was It was
Speaker 1: interesting because I was texting with a friend of mine
Speaker 1: who is a major league umpire, and uh and what
Speaker 1: he was saying and and and he was kind of
Speaker 1: frustrated in that there's no He said that we don't
Speaker 1: have a Dean Blandino. And I was very appreciative of
Speaker 1: the complin basically, don't we don't have a Dean Blandino.
Speaker 1: He did not say Mike Carrera. He might have said jug.
Speaker 1: He said, there there's no Dean Blandino for for major
Speaker 1: League baseball. And it was interesting because I hadn't really
Speaker 1: thought about it, because, um, you know a lot of
Speaker 1: the you talk about the baseball rules, and some of
Speaker 1: the baseball rules that we talk about are are the
Speaker 1: unwritten rules. And but this was a straightforward and he
Speaker 1: was very adamant. Look that umpire made the right call,
Speaker 1: made the right call that Turner was he if you
Speaker 1: watch it. He was never in the baseline. He was
Speaker 1: inside the baseline the entire way. Now he can, but
Speaker 1: he was inside. And so it was a great call,
Speaker 1: big moment, World Series umpire making the right call in
Speaker 1: that moment in real time. And then you have people
Speaker 1: that don't necessarily know the rule that are kind of
Speaker 1: you know, not necessarily you know, roasting the umpire. But
Speaker 1: but maybe they weren't explaining the rule right. And so
Speaker 1: it was frustrating for for my friend who's an umpire,
Speaker 1: and I would imagine for for other people that are
Speaker 1: in baseball and other umpires that to say, here's a
Speaker 1: big stage, big call, nails it and and we don't
Speaker 1: have somebody that can go out and uh and and
Speaker 1: explain it the right way. So that's something. And I know,
Speaker 1: look the Fox, you know, we have the World Series.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's something they're looking at. Maybe it's just
Speaker 1: they don't have the right person in mind. I I
Speaker 1: I love baseball, but I don't I don't have the
Speaker 1: experience in baseball. I can't. I don't have the credibility
Speaker 1: and and I would be guessing half the time. So
Speaker 1: the umpires that are retiring and give us all give
Speaker 1: us a call. I was an umpire for eight year olds,
Speaker 1: so let me know I'm fully available ext up on
Speaker 1: the weekends because I'm over here with you guys. Here
Speaker 1: was a question that I always think about, and I
Speaker 1: always talk about this with people friends i'm watching games with.
Speaker 1: In softball, you have the orange bag, which they'll never
Speaker 1: do in a baseball there's too many traditional lists. But
Speaker 1: what if you just since you can't run on the inside,
Speaker 1: but the base is inside the base path, why not
Speaker 1: put that orange bag next to infoul territory where you're
Speaker 1: supposed to be running, and then you have your bags
Speaker 1: for the base runner and then your bag for for
Speaker 1: the fielder at first base? Like, why why can't you
Speaker 1: put that in? No one'll ever do it, but it's great,
Speaker 1: and it's great in softball. It's good for player safety.
Speaker 1: You sure you want to tell people that you play
Speaker 1: softball this week? Yeah, I'm fine with that. It's a
Speaker 1: great game, it's fun, it's competitive. There's nothing wrong with softball.
Speaker 1: It's a great game. But I think it's an interesting concept.
Speaker 1: I don't think you'll ever happen. I don't know how
Speaker 1: that how that impacts um. A lot of times it's
Speaker 1: the the umpire from what I've from what I've been
Speaker 1: told for for guys and people that I know, that umpire,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of times it's sound. It's it's the
Speaker 1: foot hitting the bag and and the and the ball
Speaker 1: hitting the glow of that helps them. So I don't
Speaker 1: know how that would impact that if it's if it's
Speaker 1: right next yeah, I mean you certainly you certainly would
Speaker 1: still hear it. I would imagine. Um. I do like
Speaker 1: the idea because you do see you do see base
Speaker 1: runners sometimes step on the ankle or the foot of
Speaker 1: the first baseman. That's that can be dangerous. But you know, again,
Speaker 1: baseball is a very traditional and then every sport has
Speaker 1: their traditions. I'd like to see it happen. Every baseball
Speaker 1: player knows that you have to run between that the
Speaker 1: line that's on the right side of the out side
Speaker 1: of the of the the base the three ft three
Speaker 1: You know that everyone. But then you have to turn
Speaker 1: at the end to get to the bat. You can.
Speaker 1: But the thing is if if your last stride step
Speaker 1: takes you inside the baseline to get to the base,
Speaker 1: that's okay. So if he had done that, that would
Speaker 1: have been okay, and it's just interesting. Um, it was
Speaker 1: the second bag. It was it was a great call.
Speaker 1: It was a good call for promoting the show, but
Speaker 1: in reality it was it was a great call. So
Speaker 1: you know, let's let's take a break and when we
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna have a little fun, go inside
Speaker 1: the queube. We'll go inside the brain of Glendino, and
Speaker 1: we're going to get to the bottom of daylight Savings time.
Speaker 1: Next on good Calls. Welcome back, it's good calls, and uh,
Speaker 1: we want to talk a little bit about something happened
Speaker 1: over the weekend that that I've struggled with from time
Speaker 1: to time, understanding the reasons behind it. And that's the
Speaker 1: whole daylight savings fall, fall back, spring forward. So we
Speaker 1: fell back this past weekend, this weekend, and we added
Speaker 1: an hour, so it at two am. Apparently, right whatever
Speaker 1: time zone you're in, the clock goes from two am
Speaker 1: back to one am, so you gain an extra hour,
Speaker 1: which is right. I love fallback. I like when it
Speaker 1: gets dark early. I'm weird like that. I also thought
Speaker 1: next Friday was better than Friday, but we can get
Speaker 1: into that at another time. UM. So we were talking
Speaker 1: about this in the Cube explained to me, Travis, why
Speaker 1: at least why do we have daylight savings? Why is
Speaker 1: it a thing? Why does Arizona and Hawaii basically say,
Speaker 1: f you, we're not doing it? And uh, And I
Speaker 1: know we had talked initially about you thought it was something.
Speaker 1: I thought it was farmers to do with farming, and
Speaker 1: another guy, which is clearly an urban myth. It's not
Speaker 1: not camp be an urban myth if it's about it
Speaker 1: came in it was first proposed back in the country
Speaker 1: myth and like seventeen eighty five, I think something like
Speaker 1: that with Benjamin Franklin. He brought it up and and
Speaker 1: then and then again. It came up in eight by
Speaker 1: by um by the folks in in Britain, and and
Speaker 1: they had then we adopted the Germans adopted it in
Speaker 1: World War One, and then we adopted it shortly after
Speaker 1: that as a way of saving enter g which I
Speaker 1: call bullshit. Somebody in the Cube did predict that, you
Speaker 1: guys wanna Yeah, you predicted that it was because of
Speaker 1: saving energy. But we have since debunked to that, I
Speaker 1: don't think, because there's been studies since then. In two
Speaker 1: thousand three, two thousand and eight. There's been studies that
Speaker 1: said it doesn't. It doesn't save any energy to me,
Speaker 1: but still, the theory is to save energy, Okay, the
Speaker 1: theory is. The theory is we're gonna give you more daylight. Right,
Speaker 1: So in the spring, when the spring, we're gonna we're
Speaker 1: gonna move the clocks up. So at five o'clock, right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna move the clock. It's really four o'clock, So
Speaker 1: it's gonna be at eight o'clock when it should be
Speaker 1: dark and wherever, depending where you live, it's really seven o'clock,
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be lighter later, and that you won't
Speaker 1: use electricity light your house and stuff, right, but you
Speaker 1: still all morning. Okay, but you're still be using it
Speaker 1: in the morning because the starker. Okay, but you're still
Speaker 1: getting up at the same time. That's my point, Like
Speaker 1: you're getting up and it all sets the cost of
Speaker 1: using your A C in the summer months. I don't
Speaker 1: understand that at all, but that study also took that
Speaker 1: an account. But then you're you're doing the opposite. So
Speaker 1: whatever energy you saved for those six months, you're right
Speaker 1: because now it's darker earlier, So I gotta put my
Speaker 1: lights on earlier. I don't know you're you're arguing a
Speaker 1: Benjamin Franklan. You're not gonna win this, obviously, but I
Speaker 1: think I think we took a hundred years for the
Speaker 1: for the folks. So here's what this this created, this
Speaker 1: this debate in this conversation of alarm clocks on the
Speaker 1: night of Fallback Spring Forward, and so we have we
Speaker 1: have a real audio guy that works with us in
Speaker 1: the studio, um Goldie, and Goldie has to set his
Speaker 1: alarm on on Saturday night. But he he comes in,
Speaker 1: he sets his alarm at two am Sunday morning, right
Speaker 1: Saturday night, Sunday morning, he said, sets his alarm at
Speaker 1: two am, and he didn't know with the time change,
Speaker 1: what time should I set my alarm? So he got
Speaker 1: so out of whack that he just set a timer
Speaker 1: that have to wake up at the I have to
Speaker 1: wake up in six hours. I'm gonna set a timer
Speaker 1: because I don't know because I'm thinking about it, like
Speaker 1: if I set the thing at two o'clock, it's really
Speaker 1: one o'clock. If I do it on my phone and
Speaker 1: said it at too, is it gonna jump to one?
Speaker 1: And then so either way he thought he was gonna
Speaker 1: be an hour earlier or an hour late, so he
Speaker 1: set the time. But there's also studies saying that there's
Speaker 1: there's increased heart heart attacks during this time of year,
Speaker 1: and then there's also accidents and cars. So it's like, well,
Speaker 1: it's some people just can't handle the stress of life.
Speaker 1: I woke up before my alarm went off, and it's
Speaker 1: just it causes too much stress, I think. And that's
Speaker 1: your audio guy. He doesn't even know how the phone works. Okay,
Speaker 1: so oh, you're the same guy that you said. You
Speaker 1: You go to go to Arizona a lot sometimes, right,
Speaker 1: you have like a like a vacation share or whatever
Speaker 1: it is, and it's on the border of Arizona, Nevada
Speaker 1: and California. And you're the one that's like, I don't
Speaker 1: know what time it is. Well, that's that's different because
Speaker 1: it's constantly changing everywhere you go to. You go to
Speaker 1: Walmart at six, you come home it's now five. Well,
Speaker 1: you're picking up all the different styles. How you got younger.
Speaker 1: That's like when you fly when you fly to Australia,
Speaker 1: like it's just because they're ahead. When you fly home,
Speaker 1: you actually get younger. But anyway. But Travis, I got
Speaker 1: out a great idea, Travis, give us your idea, so
Speaker 1: we should we do? How could we do this so
Speaker 1: we didn't have to deal with this anymore? Why can't
Speaker 1: we go to universal time? So we just we pick
Speaker 1: sometimes on that this is gonna be the time we're
Speaker 1: gonna go on. Everyone's gonna go to a military style, um,
Speaker 1: zero to twenty four hour o'clock, and then everyone's gonna
Speaker 1: be whether it's daytime or nighttime, you're gonna be on
Speaker 1: that time and that's it. But then of course we
Speaker 1: saw holes in that as well, because there's definitely things
Speaker 1: like songs like working nine to five because in London
Speaker 1: now they're working. Sell it is, it does? It does?
Speaker 1: But I do. I do like that concept everybody being
Speaker 1: on the same time because I have to explain to
Speaker 1: my mom pretty much every week because my mom lives
Speaker 1: in New York. I live in California, and she I
Speaker 1: have to explain to her that because the Giants game,
Speaker 1: whatever game she's watching, because it starts at ten am
Speaker 1: in California and one pm in New York, I don't
Speaker 1: know the winner before she does. I don't know, like
Speaker 1: it's still the same time in the universe, like it's
Speaker 1: She's like, what time is it starting. I'm like, well
Speaker 1: it's ten am out here. It's like, oh, so you'll
Speaker 1: know before I do. Who's gonna be like, No, it
Speaker 1: doesn't work that way. Um, if it did, we'd have
Speaker 1: yet the Casino Sports Book. But but yeah, so I
Speaker 1: have to explain to her. But but universal time would
Speaker 1: be amazing. But again there's holes in that because then
Speaker 1: you businesses and you'd have to figure out, well, in Tokyo,
Speaker 1: it's what are they doing at oh seven hundred, they're
Speaker 1: sleeping or there, you know, so it's tough. So that
Speaker 1: was but there was another tidbit that came up as
Speaker 1: part of the discussion. So what we what we thought
Speaker 1: about then after that was people will figure it out.
Speaker 1: We just we would. We were an adaptive you know,
Speaker 1: human beings, so we can we can change human we
Speaker 1: can adapt to it. And and one thing we came
Speaker 1: up with that that Scott came up within the cube
Speaker 1: was was a thing called day an age day It's
Speaker 1: it was. It was a thing in in in Sweden
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty seven where at this time, they you know,
Speaker 1: made this highly publicized for a while that at this time,
Speaker 1: we're gonna switch from driving on the left side to
Speaker 1: the right side of the road. What so they so?
Speaker 1: And this is insane. I think this is the greatest
Speaker 1: thing ever, This this thing dog in age and they
Speaker 1: just said, Okay, we're gonna go at this time on
Speaker 1: this day, everybody's gonna go from the left side to
Speaker 1: the right side. And if I'm if I'm in Sweden,
Speaker 1: not that I want to, I'm like getting my launch
Speaker 1: share andre and I'm going to an intersection. I'm just
Speaker 1: watching the mayhem that's gonna take place. There was time
Speaker 1: for five hours you couldn't be on the road. From
Speaker 1: like one to six you couldn't be on the road,
Speaker 1: And then at four fifty was the time that it switched.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine like in l A, imagine New York
Speaker 1: City places they're not mayhem, it would be I wouldn't
Speaker 1: I be like, I'm not driving. I'm not. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to take a week off, easily a week off
Speaker 1: unless you have a car that drives itself. Then maybe
Speaker 1: have you guys driven, have you guys driven on the
Speaker 1: other side of the road. I have. I didn't find
Speaker 1: it that hard to to make the adjustment you gotta
Speaker 1: it's there's turning is an adjustment. And you know what's
Speaker 1: an adjustment. The first time I went to London was
Speaker 1: crossing the street knowing which way to look right. That's
Speaker 1: that's that's Americans get hit by cars because you because
Speaker 1: you always know, like you're crossing the street in in
Speaker 1: America and you look right and then first right, and
Speaker 1: that's where it's dangerous. And they actually have in London
Speaker 1: they have arrows that tell you which way to look
Speaker 1: because you know obviously that that's there's few a fewer
Speaker 1: places that drive on the left side of the road.
Speaker 1: But I just think that's so amazing. They just switched
Speaker 1: no social media either. How do you get the word out?
Speaker 1: Like if you're living on a farm in Sweden and
Speaker 1: you don't pay attention to media or anything like, and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're like, I'm gonna go out
Speaker 1: and get some whatever at the market. Today, I feel
Speaker 1: like if I had the delooran, I would go back
Speaker 1: in time to that day check it out now obviously
Speaker 1: you know, sixty seven old people just like it's just
Speaker 1: it's just like imagine just trying to do that today,
Speaker 1: like just with social media, the amount of hype and
Speaker 1: people and it would be in the upper sne it
Speaker 1: would be insane. The other thing, the other thing I
Speaker 1: think we figured out the Daylight Savings is a sham um.
Speaker 1: And but the other amazing thing that happened in the
Speaker 1: studio this weekend in the Cube was the camel video.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the camel video. Please, if you haven't
Speaker 1: seen it, um, it's I don't know, it went viral.
Speaker 1: I don't know how long it's been running around the internet,
Speaker 1: but it's the first time we had seen. It's got
Speaker 1: like four and a half millions. This couple that are
Speaker 1: somewhere in in you know, it's probably somewhere in the
Speaker 1: Middle East. It's probably you know, it looks like a
Speaker 1: desert climate and they're doing some kind of camel riding
Speaker 1: and and they it's it's this poor camel and whoever
Speaker 1: did the video kind of put just trust me, just
Speaker 1: do just do camel funny camel video, Camel fail. Or
Speaker 1: you can see it on the Good Calls Instagram page.
Speaker 1: You can put it on in a Good Cals Good
Speaker 1: Calls Instagram page. It's this couple and there, you know,
Speaker 1: there's some there's some wait involved, and but this poor
Speaker 1: camel is really trying to get up on four legs
Speaker 1: and it just can't do it. And this person who
Speaker 1: posted the video put the Titanic song like a kind
Speaker 1: of like it's kind of like a bad version of it,
Speaker 1: and it is amazing. It's absolutely amazing. And I needed
Speaker 1: I needed, I needed some cheering up because I'm out
Speaker 1: of the survivor pool. I bought my way back in
Speaker 1: and I'm out of the survivor pool. And just a
Speaker 1: quick update. I I bought um our colleague Luther, who's
Speaker 1: a big Cleveland Browns fans. I bought his pick from him, okay,
Speaker 1: because everybody has a price, and he obviously had one,
Speaker 1: and uh there and there was a lot of toss
Speaker 1: up games, so I thought it would be fitting since
Speaker 1: it was Luther's pick and he hadn't picked them and
Speaker 1: I hadn't picked them yet, that I would go with
Speaker 1: the Browns, right, so toss up game like it was no,
Speaker 1: there was no gimmes this week, and I think the NFL.
Speaker 1: That's great, Well, that's great about the NFL. And so
Speaker 1: it was it was Cleveland and Denverse and really, no,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a pick them and and Cleveland. Cleveland lost,
Speaker 1: So now we only have two people left in the
Speaker 1: survivor pool, and I'm basically negotiating with with at least
Speaker 1: one of them to try to buy his pick to
Speaker 1: continue in the survivor pool. And like I said, I
Speaker 1: will take a loss just to win the pool. Um.
Speaker 1: But anyway, let's uh, let's go on. So can I
Speaker 1: add one thing? No fatal accidents at night that they
Speaker 1: changed it over to the other side. Yeah, that's our
Speaker 1: friends at Wikipedia have. That's a little fun. So we
Speaker 1: don't want to have. That's some real producers stuff, deep stuff. Anyway,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna go to inside the brain of Bigdino.
Speaker 1: What do you got Forest Joe? All right, let's uh,
Speaker 1: let's shake it up and see what we got. Jim
Speaker 1: rules guy actually waived someone out of the way so
Speaker 1: he could see himself in the mirror. This was red
Speaker 1: Bro actually bro move over, and it's completely illegal. Like
Speaker 1: I saw that. I saw that happen. Now, look, I
Speaker 1: I go to an equinox and sent him on against
Speaker 1: a great Jim. But there's a look, there's a and
Speaker 1: I don't think this is just he here in Santa Monica,
Speaker 1: but I think there's a there's a culture right now
Speaker 1: of this Instagram and and the selfies and look at
Speaker 1: me and all that stuff. This guy legitimately waive someone
Speaker 1: out of the way so he would have a personal
Speaker 1: mirror view of the mirror. The look on the other
Speaker 1: guy's face, he didn't know what. He was like what
Speaker 1: wait what and he's like like this and like so
Speaker 1: he thought. The other guy thought like, am I in
Speaker 1: the way? Like the bench, am my, something gonna fall
Speaker 1: on my head? Like he looked. He literally looked up,
Speaker 1: looked down, and the guy was like pointed at the mirror.
Speaker 1: And I was like, he's this, mom, he's looking at
Speaker 1: the mirror. He's pointing at the he wants him to move.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I was so dumbfounded, Like I
Speaker 1: wanted to record it. But that is there are there
Speaker 1: are gym rules, and there are some really bad like infractions.
Speaker 1: That's it's one of the worst things. It happens all
Speaker 1: the time. I see that. I go to a kickboxing
Speaker 1: g them and there's people that videotape them and then
Speaker 1: they put them on Instagram and you see me in
Speaker 1: the background just huffing. And this isn't the best I
Speaker 1: look now, I'm already not a very attractive might have
Speaker 1: a voice for radio or a face for radio, but
Speaker 1: I'm already a pretty unattracted dude, and you gotta put
Speaker 1: me in my worst time sweating there I am in
Speaker 1: the background. I don't need that public I I think
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a fault too. You can't if
Speaker 1: you're gonna videotape yourself, don't have me in the background.
Speaker 1: Then you have to sign a waiver. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I think signing and even the gym does it. I uh,
Speaker 1: I think in some of these some of these trainers
Speaker 1: are it's a bit much of the Instagram stuff. But anyway,
Speaker 1: but that, yeah, I think that's a good that's a
Speaker 1: good uh, a good rule. So so can can we
Speaker 1: amend a rule from the rules expert? Yeah? Sure, what's
Speaker 1: the rule gonna be? You can't waive somebody out of
Speaker 1: the way, like you gotta find a clear path, Yeah,
Speaker 1: find your own mirror like clear path rule. If you're
Speaker 1: gonna go like I get like, if you're if you're
Speaker 1: gonna stand in front of the mirror, like you find
Speaker 1: a clear path to the mirror and give yourself. Don't
Speaker 1: if you you gotta get close enough to where they're
Speaker 1: breaking the rule by be coming between you and the mirror.
Speaker 1: If you're if you're fifteen feetback, then you have to
Speaker 1: expect that there's gonna be traffic fair. That's a good call.
Speaker 1: So if you can fit, if you can get in
Speaker 1: front of the mirror and somebody can't legitimately stand between
Speaker 1: you and the mirror and work out, then you've got
Speaker 1: that clear path to that mirror. And rule number two,
