Wearing this shirt right now takes me 9 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: back to one of my childhood memories when I was 10 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: on my living room floor, yes, on that little dusty 11 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: shaggy rug and laying there eating me some seasoned salt 12 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: butter popcorn, as I did almost every day.

But trust me, you need to 21 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: watch classic movie that really describes a lot of what 22 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: I had to endure growing up, so wlom it never 23 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: shut up. 24 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: Sh boy, Marcel's White feeling great? Now? Why am I 25 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 2: feeling great? 26 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you because I gotta always start off 27 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: with what's up with that dude? 28 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 2: And this is why I'm feeling great. 29 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: Because I yesterday did something that I was actually a 30 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: little hesitant to do, which was allow my assistant. 31 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 2: Coach to coach practice. 32 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: Because I know my assistant coach has to coach this 33 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: week's game. I am going to New York City along 34 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: with my son, just him and I boys trip for 35 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: my daughter's graduation. Morocca is graduating Columbia University with a 36 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: master's in sports marketing. 37 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: Right, so yeah, yeah, yay. The whole family was gonna go. 38 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: But then as we started to think through it short trip, 39 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: the indy biddies like the three year old, the four 40 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: year old, New York City pedestrian cars everywhere. Let's just say, 41 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: my kids don't stop every time I say stop. 42 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: And I was like no, or about that. 43 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: Plus just all the activities pulling them back and forth, 44 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: they still nap in the middle of the day, etc. 45 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: Just too much work. So the White stay at home 46 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: with the girls. 47 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: They gonna have them a girls trip, yep, a staycation, 48 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: and we're gonna have us our boys trip. 49 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 2: All right. 50 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: So anywhere I'm in basketball practice, I know I'm not 51 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: gonna be there for this weekend's game. 52 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 2: So I allowed my coach Jesse Buss. 53 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: Yes that name sounds familiar because he's the Lakers owner 54 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: as well as the head of their scouting and he 55 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: ran practice. Now, this is why I was hesitant one, 56 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: because he knows basketball way more than me. Right, So 57 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't want to ride. Also, get Wally 58 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: pipped up here. I can't let him take my job 59 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: from the little seven year olds. They run a mutiny 60 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: all so we like coach Bus. We like Coach Bus. 61 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: So I'm scared, not really, but a little. So I said, 62 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: run practice, man, because you got to coach them this weekend. 63 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: We're not gonna be here. And this sucker here went 64 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: out there and showed me what basketball is all about. 65 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: He had these little kids competing in these little drills 66 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: and they were all into it. Now, when I'm coaching, 67 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: it feels like they're all into it, but it just 68 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: looks different when you're watching it as a kid. Right 69 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: from their vantage point and their perspective. So I was 70 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: sitting there a little jealous, but it was amazing practice. 71 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: Guys killed it and we moved on. So then after 72 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: that I went to dinner. I'm in some talks with 73 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: a venture fund and entities from the UK. Yeah, UK 74 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: U wes football. If y'all notice the NFL every year 75 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: is adding another game to their europe schedule, et cetera. London, three, 76 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: four or five games soon the lady, we're gonna have 77 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: a team over there, right, So that's where this is heading. 78 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: The money's already there, so now they need the content. 79 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: That's the conversation. Interesting. 80 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: We'll see how that goes. 81 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: I finished off that night great meeting with ten cookies 82 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: and I ordered them for the whole table for everybody there, 83 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: all the executives. And turns out only one of those 84 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: guys ate one cookie and. 85 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: I ate nine of them. Demnit woke up fat as hell. 86 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 2: You know how it goes. It instantly goes to the 87 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: gut and I feel like, hey, with all's love. This 88 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: morning we had the film for my wife's show. 89 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: So let's just say this was an interesting morning, but 90 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: we actually kept it as normal as possible. She woke 91 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: up at four point thirty like she does. She went 92 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: spinning and working out like she does. Meanwhile, I'm doing 93 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: the best thing I could do. My favorite thing to 94 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: do in this world right now is laying to bed 95 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: with my kids in cuddle and they were just right 96 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: there with me color while she over there grind and 97 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: getting a six pack. 98 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 2: That is life, all right, y'all. 99 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: Speaking of my assistant coach for the Lakers, let's talk 100 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: about esp is Mike green Bird and what he suggested 101 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: to the Los Angeles Lakers. He said they should sit 102 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: their starters versus the Warriors in Game five with the 103 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: Lakers up three to one in this series. Can't say 104 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: I didn't think the same thing before, but I ain't 105 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,679 Speaker 1: let it leave my mouth. So here he goes, here's 106 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: my suggestion. Lebron needs to slip a nice comfy robe 107 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: over that pair of slippers and get set to watch 108 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: Game five tomorrow night from the comfort of his mansion 109 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: in LA. He shouldn't even go to San Francisco. I'm 110 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: going down with this ship on this theory. Now, you're 111 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: going too far. He's being hyperbolic, but let's talk about it. 112 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: Greenberg anticipates the Warriors thrashing destroying the Lakers on Wednesday 113 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: night and Chase Center in San Francisco. Can't lie if 114 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: you make me put some money on this gun to 115 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: the head. I think the Lakers are gonna get smoked. 116 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: Not because the Lakers won't win this series, not because 117 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: the Lakers not the better team. It's just, man, too 118 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: many things are gonna be in the warriors favor for 119 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: that Game five. Greenberg talked about it. The Lakers have 120 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: no chance to win a Game five of this series. 121 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: The Warrior's gonna be playing for their dynasty at home 122 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: with the crowd. They're gonna win. Don't waste any of 123 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: Lebron's or a D's energy on this game. 124 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 2: Now, he even mentioned it. 125 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: He said he's been facetious to a degree, but in reality, 126 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: what should the Lakers do? 127 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 2: This is the problem. You can't play with the sports guys. 128 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: The basketball guys like that, right when it comes to 129 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: seeding and you're like, oh, should we win this game 130 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: and play them? 131 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: Or should we lose this game and play them? 132 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: And then it always seems to just work against you, 133 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: almost Murphy's law if you start playing with the sports guys. Right, 134 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: So in this situation, there's two ways to look at it. Man, 135 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: don't even trip on game five. They gonna destroy y'all. 136 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: Win game six or win game seven. But game seven 137 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: to me is game five plus some. If you lose 138 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: game five, you come back and lose game six, you 139 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: ain't winning game seven. It feels like either, right, So 140 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: you don't want to play with that formula. Okay, So 141 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: then you say, let's go all in on game five. 142 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: We don't win it, okay, all right, let's go to 143 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: game six and we win it at home. That's another theory. 144 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: Here's another theory. What if you win game five? Like 145 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: just crazy enough how that sounds, the Lakers go out 146 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,559 Speaker 1: there and win game five, then you can rest Game 147 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: six that was supposed to occur and Game seven that 148 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: was supposed to occur. This is why you don't play 149 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: with the sports guys. This is why you always go 150 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: out there with full focused trying to win every play 151 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: in every game, because if you start messing around and 152 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: playing with your food, sometimes ain't gonna be nothing left 153 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: to eat. 154 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 2: Right. 155 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: So I don't know how it's gonna play out, But 156 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: my betting is this Lakers get smoked in Game five 157 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,559 Speaker 1: like Greenie said, Game six, they win at home? Simple, 158 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: is that a tight one? They better hope it goes 159 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: that way because if they gotta go back to the 160 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: Chase Center after the Warriors would have won two in 161 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: a row.

Let's talk. I'm proud 230 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: of my culture, That's what he led with. I'm proud 231 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: of where I come from and where I was raised, 232 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: who I was raised by. I carried my grandfather's last name, 233 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: and nothing makes me more proud than to be able 234 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: to do that. In our culture, we were raised to 235 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: be the first ones to reach out and offer help. 236 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,479 Speaker 1: So that's why I reached out to John this morning. Ah, 237 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: I heard Courtney in my ears say that was the 238 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: identity thing. Yeah, when you hear the culture part, all 239 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: of a sudden, now it's like, Z be careful, do 240 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: not touch fence. 241 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 2: It will light your ass up. Okay. 242 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: So the question is was this offensive in nature? No, 243 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:31,599 Speaker 1: it wasn't offensive. 244 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 2: Now what was insensitive? 245 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: Even if you want to say it was insensitive, I 246 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: don't think it was. But he was ignorant to where 247 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: it would land. So therefore it's insensitive because you didn't 248 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: know that it would land on someone who would come 249 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: out and talk about his pride, his culture, his identity. 250 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 2: All right, I get it. 251 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: Now, it's not an even field out there, and that's 252 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: what's happening. Y'all noticing these shows of late, A lot 253 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: of people are stepping in it because, as we know, 254 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: in this PC culture, it's becoming nearly if. 255 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 2: Possible, to get off of the. 256 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: Mainstream talking points and not offend somebody, right, And that's 257 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: one thing that I just can't take. 258 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 2: I am a comedian at heart. 259 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm actually funny, but at heart, oh man, I 260 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: have no borders in what I'm thinking.

I 267 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: remember the story, and I was doing my prep around 268 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: all the people and the producers, and they were like, yeah, 269 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if you should say that. I was like, 270 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: say what the truth?

But then I get to the 274 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: ESPN NFL Live same thing, Seth Markman who runs that, 275 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: and he was like, Marcellus, you're not long for this, and. 276 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 2: I was like, why I just got here. 277 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: He was like, let's just say, the way that you 278 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: talk about sports is different than the way we talk. 279 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 2: About sports, and that's a good thing. 280 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: So I had to go into personality driven shows or 281 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: in Sports Nation when Sports Nation was groundbreaking at the time, 282 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: because every other show was like this, oh, it's third 283 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: and goal.

Remember she did that with the ladies as well. 348 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: All right, So the statement from Georgia says, the team 349 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: schedule the way my checking and savings works, interferes with 350 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: the suggested date that was provided in an invitation received 351 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: earlier this month. Hyja politics, hyja politics, hyja politics. The 352 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: University of Georgia first received on May third, and the 353 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: invitation for the Bulldog football team to visit the White 354 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: House on June twelfth. Okay, Unfortunately the date suggested it's 355 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: not feasible giving the student athlete calendar and time of year. However, 356 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: we're appreciative of the invitation and look forward to other 357 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: opportunities for Georgia teams moving forward, since we're gonna keep 358 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: winning these championships. Potna, that's what they really meant, all right. 359 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: They did not provide any more specifics about the schedule. Conflict, 360 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: and that's already strike one. Actually it should be strike too, 361 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: because strike one is you ain't going, but strike two 362 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: is for this reason, like we just got a conflict. 363 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 2: Oh, come home. Not feasible is the term, right? Let's 364 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 2: go back to dating. 365 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: Dating helps you so much in seeing the world. Why 366 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: Because it's a simple, small sample size of human relations 367 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: and relationships. Right, So if you can't see how all 368 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: these moving parts are working, just break it down to 369 00:17:59,000 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: the single element. 370 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: It's you and them.

Move all that to the 381 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 2: side for Sasha.

So those announcements of 478 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: Disney's upcoming company wide programming are scheduled for May sixteenth, 479 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 1: so maybe my May seventeenth, on this show, we'll be 480 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: talking about Pat McAfee to ESPN. 481 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 2: All right, do zach mount. 482 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: Whatever that amount is McAfee would earn in the deals 483 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: not known yet, but. 484 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 2: It's expected to be eight figures. 485 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: Right, you got eight men over there, you got Buck 486 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: over there and making those eight figure deals. 487 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 2: Stephen Ay is making an eight figure deal. 488 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: McAfee gonna go past Greenberg and Land somewhere in between 489 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 1: those guys, I would assume, if not surpass all of them, 490 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: depending on the extent of the deal and services. All Right, now, 491 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: it may be less, probably is going to be less 492 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: than that fan dual thirty million dollars deal a year 493 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: he'll be walking away from that. 494 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 2: Okay, here we go. 495 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: Now, let's get into the thick of things, because it 496 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: comes at the time when Disney including ESPN, is shedding 497 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 1: seven thousand jobs. All right, So in terms of optics, 498 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: may be difficult for some to look at Disney and 499 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: ESPN cutting all those jobs at the same time watching 500 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: this deal go through. Now why say difficult for some, 501 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: because it's not difficult for all. You still have to 502 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: invest in your business even if you're shedding. It's weird, right, 503 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: kind of like when you ever do landscaping the horner 504 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: culture and you got your roses, you gotta trim them 505 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: down and then watch them bloom, right. 506 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 2: So you gotta do some trimming. Split ins. You ever 507 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 2: hear your girls, I got a cut my splin INDs 508 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: and you're like, well why you cutn't your splin ends? 509 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 1: You cut your hair basically so it can grow, right, 510 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: same dynamic going on here. So ESPN executives have said 511 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: that it will only do a McAfee deal if it 512 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: pencils out and it can make money, which is interesting 513 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: because right now, his model of making money was through 514 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:24,239 Speaker 1: YouTube and through his viewership, his membership and all of 515 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: that plus Bam Cherry on top more than the cherry 516 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: on top, the fan dual deal, right, that's where all 517 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: the money came from. Well, ESPN's a different dynamic, so 518 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: they got to make sure that that is gonna be 519 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: cash flow positive. ESPN will now report now report its earnings. 520 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: Remember before they didn't have to report it. They're doing 521 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: that now as a breakout division, so you're gonna see 522 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: it explicitly. Explicitly ESPN's earnings in November. All right, and 523 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: under that new structure, Iiger's return to the company is 524 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: making sure that all these things are separate so that 525 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: he can know and then everyone can see full transparency. 526 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: All right, So he got his day to show, he 527 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: got his game day. No exact deals are on the table. 528 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: We know he has that three hour daily program, right, 529 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: Is he gonna do a three hour daily program on ESPN? 530 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 2: Y'all be real, don't see that. 531 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: Some are saying it may be just a one hour 532 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: deal on ESPN and then the other two hours of 533 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: the full show still lives on YouTube. But now you're thinking, ESPN, 534 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: do we want it all on YouTube? How much do 535 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: we put on YouTube? ESPN has this YouTube channel as well, 536 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: but how much are we gonna give to that and 537 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: how much are we gonna keep proprietary so that we 538 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: can make sure we make money with Pat McAfee. Okay, 539 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: So then everybody's gonna be a part of it, ESPN 540 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: Audio more than. 541 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 2: Likely some podcasts for the crew, etc. 542 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: They're gonna build this all up because you know McAfee 543 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: always talking about the brand, So now the brand is 544 00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: gonna have to be a part of this. And every 545 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,719 Speaker 1: everyone has to get elevated. Okay, now, why is this 546 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: happening in the first place, Well, Pat McAfee, we saw 547 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: the fan duel deal. He didn't go doing the Super Bowl, 548 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: doing the ads, he didn't go to the platforms, meetings 549 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: and performances. 550 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 2: He took the little watermark off. 551 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: He had a new baby, so it's like he wanted 552 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 1: more support and resources on the back end. It was 553 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: too heavy for him to lift because it was all 554 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: him independent, right, So instead of like, Okay, let's work 555 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: this out, he wants to go somewhere where it's already 556 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: a well oiled machine, get money in the world of 557 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: what he makes, and say y'all handle the rest. I 558 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: just show up, show out, and then I'm gone after 559 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: the show, not mad at that. You got to look 560 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: at this situation for what it is. First of all, 561 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: if McAfee can go to Disney and be Pat McAfee, 562 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: there's no better job in this industry. 563 00:27:59,080 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 2: There's no better. 564 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: Place to work than at Disney and to still be yourself, 565 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 1: to be authentic. But you got to remember what Disney is. 566 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: And I'm not wanting to the labeling and then just 567 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: boxing them in because a lot of people talk about 568 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: Disney in a negative way, but they don't understand what 569 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: Disney's real business model is and they don't put enough 570 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: respect on Disney for what is done. Okay, so Disney, 571 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: if you're working there, you're working for ESPN as I have. 572 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: They're in the story telling business. Dull right, Mickey Mouse, 573 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: Peter Pan whatever. All these attractions come off of a story, 574 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: come off of content, right, Theme parks, all this stuff 575 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: everywhere is coming off of storytelling. One thing you gotta 576 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: remember when you're telling the story is that your role 577 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: is to be a character. Right, So what are you 578 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: going to be in character when you're playing your role 579 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: in this story? Think about that, right, because when you're 580 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: a character, are you showing your full character or are 581 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: you playing a role as a character. 582 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 2: Now, start to think of some of the personalities there. 583 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: And you're like, oh, yeah, they're playing that role and 584 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with it. Some guys are signing up 585 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: for that. Some guys are not Pat McAfee and this 586 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,959 Speaker 1: or it is. I think they're saying, we're not signing 587 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: up to play a character. We're gonna show you our character. 588 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: Or maybe this is the time to pivot. Maybe this 589 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 1: is a time for a switch. 590 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 2: Is Pat McAfee gonna go to Disney and curse not 591 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 2: on ESPN? Right? All them mfs and all them bombs 592 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 2: he throwed that ain't working on there? Will they work 593 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 2: on ESPN? Plus? 594 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: I don't even know that answer, But the point is 595 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: that show the way it is and currently exists, wouldn't 596 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 1: work on ESPN to the fullest, right, So. 597 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 2: Something has to change. 598 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: Is it gonna still be full expression of his character 599 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: or is it gonna now be a role and he's 600 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: going to play a character that's interesting? Also, will it 601 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: get disney fied? 602 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 2: Right? 603 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: Beyond the character and the role, there's this soft softening 604 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: that comes when you're on ESPN, right, like we're all 605 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: getting along, We're all good, even when we're going at 606 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: it like this, Oh man, we're good, right, And frankly, 607 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: that's not necessarily what Pat McAfee's show has always been about. 608 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: His show has just been about let's just be real, 609 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: let's just be who we are, let's just have some fun, 610 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: and we're not going to have to make up if 611 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: there's an issue, And we're also not gonna beef with 612 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: no issue, right, We're not gonna make stuff up. We're 613 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: just gonna beat And that's what I love about watching 614 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: this show. 615 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 2: It's just like. 616 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: Dudes hanging Oh yeah, we're talking about the game. Oh yeah, 617 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: we talking about sports. Oh yeah, I'm talking about you. 618 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: And it's just like, that's how dudes are, that's how 619 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: people are. So when you get into the Disney sphere, 620 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that changes, like there has to 621 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: be an intended outcome. I wonder how that will play 622 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: in Pat McAfee's mind as well. 623 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 2: So all of this adds. 624 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: Up to me saying, hell, yeah, you should go if 625 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: the money's right. And I don't mean the same, I 626 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: mean right, because at a certain point, Look, everybody wants 627 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: every opinion they can get, but at a certain point, 628 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: your life won't change.
