Speaker 1: while I can hear a little bird, a little bird chirping,
Speaker 1: and I think that it just gives me hope for
Speaker 1: for We're gonna come out of this, and there's a
Speaker 1: brighter future. So we're gonna start the show on a positive,
Speaker 1: because I got a lot of negative to talk about,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna start with a positive. Did you guys

Speaker 1: know how Philip Rivers does it. He like, I want
Speaker 1: to see I want to do a reality show where
Speaker 1: you adopt eight more kids and it's just you and
Speaker 1: ten kids running around. That's what I want to see.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine we have to hear about the kids
Speaker 1: that complaining would be NonStop. Like, we had a conversation
Speaker 1: when we were going to record the podcast and Joe
Speaker 1: like legitimately got upset because Travis like gave him a
Speaker 1: short window during the day and Joe was like, what
Speaker 1: the like, what are you doing? Like Joe was like, Hey,
Speaker 1: you want to do it at three am? Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: in six pm. Yeah, I'm in Travis. We're gonna get
Speaker 1: to Travis this day. We're gonna get to Travis this day.
Speaker 1: Don't worry. I mean, one blocked off hour of the
Speaker 1: of the week. But but it was really cool. So
Speaker 1: what it was is it was a bunch of artists
Speaker 1: in their in their homes and they put on like
Speaker 1: kind of like an impromptu concert and they recorded. You know,
Speaker 1: it was Elton John and Tim McGraw and and there
Speaker 1: was Mariah Carey and and Billy Joe Armstrong from Green Day.
Speaker 1: It was really cool and they just and they had
Speaker 1: they had someone singing, and they had a couple of
Speaker 1: musicians in their homes and they tied it all together technically,
Speaker 1: I don't know how they did it. They tied it
Speaker 1: all together, and it was just really just kind of
Speaker 1: cool to see, you know, all these people, all these
Speaker 1: these singers and these entertainers basically in the same the
Speaker 1: same place as us, you know, sitting at home. Um,
Speaker 1: but they were, you know, they were performing for us,
Speaker 1: So it was pretty pretty cool to watch. I did
Speaker 1: watch the Dave Girl performance. I saw it on YouTube,
Speaker 1: and there was like, it seemed like there was like
Speaker 1: four were cameras in there. There was a ton of
Speaker 1: different angles they were cutting between and and played you know,
Speaker 1: flu Fighters, one of my favorite bands. He played my Hero,
Speaker 1: which is like a great song for this time, UM,
Speaker 1: and I thought it was a really nice performance. It
Speaker 1: was that it is that is a great song for
Speaker 1: this time, Travis, Thanks for that. Um. Backstreet Boys performed.
Speaker 1: I'm a big Backstreet Boys fan. I'd love to Okay,
Speaker 1: let's let's do this. I'm not sure I've ever done this?
Speaker 1: Have you ever done this? Okay, Joe, Backstreet Boys or
Speaker 1: in sync? In sync? Oh, we can't be friends anymore, Travis. Uh?
Speaker 1: In sync? Oh? Look at who's the odd man out?
Speaker 1: What I've been doing? I've been friends with you guys.
Speaker 1: This long simply simply because Timberlake. It's not even okay
Speaker 1: talking about group. We're talking about a group, all right.
Speaker 1: You just named one guy, and I agree, Justin Timberlake
Speaker 1: is is has been the most successful, and you could
Speaker 1: argue is the most talent. I did, of both groups.
Speaker 1: But when you talk about a group, not Justin timber
Speaker 1: Lake and the rest of in Sync, it's in Sync
Speaker 1: and Backstreet Boys. Okay, Backstreet Boys have the better They've
Speaker 1: got the better history, they've got better music. Which, okay,
Speaker 1: let's go top three songs of each band. Sadly, well
Speaker 1: not sadly, thankfully, I don't know them. What what's your
Speaker 1: favorite in sync fan? Um? You know, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't know the answer that question. I gotte and you
Speaker 1: and you, and all of a sudden you chose them. Well,
Speaker 1: I think I've chosen too because of Justin Timberlake. Now
Speaker 1: I'm looking at songs I think I like Backstreet better.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. You immediately
Speaker 1: went to Justin and I understand that. But when you
Speaker 1: dive down and you start to do a little research
Speaker 1: and you start to listen, Backstreet has the better music. Well,
Speaker 1: who was the more success? Who sold more albums? Backstreet?
Speaker 1: I think good performing longer? Um? Which one is bye
Speaker 1: bye bye? Is that Backstreet? That's insane? See that's a
Speaker 1: good song. That it is a good thing. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying I dislike it. Okay, what's Backstreets big songs again?
Speaker 1: I just want it that way. I want it that way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good one. But what else? Yeah? Thank you?
Speaker 1: Quit playing games quickly? Backstreets back again? Show me the
Speaker 1: meeting and being lonely. They're still performing as long as
Speaker 1: you love Me. But they just put out another single,
Speaker 1: Don't go Breaking my Heart. I think Dean's got it.
Speaker 1: I think Backstreet Boys complete. Thank you, Travis. You always
Speaker 1: agree with Dean? Not always, No, not always. We'll find
Speaker 1: something we disagree on. Okay, I'm you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: sticking with JT. So give us Travis any updates, you
Speaker 1: know what. I don't know if we have much in
Speaker 1: terms of you know, cancelations, postponements, things like that. I
Speaker 1: did read today that looks like Wimbledon has been canceled.
Speaker 1: The US Open and Golf will not take place as
Speaker 1: scheduled in late June. Indianapolis. Five hundreds been moved to August.
Speaker 1: I was supposed to be made. Um Tokyo set a
Speaker 1: date for the twenty one Olympics now in July August eight.
Speaker 1: And then we had talked about, um, some of the
Speaker 1: things that have the dates that have coming gone. So
Speaker 1: MLB opening day is coming gone, like there was you
Speaker 1: know the l A Times in the New York Post
Speaker 1: had different pictures of empty stadiums and those things. It's
Speaker 1: just showing that no baseball. Um. Also, you know March
Speaker 1: Madness would be coming up this this weekend and would
Speaker 1: be Saturday four right right right? Um? And then UM,
Speaker 1: I did see you that no matter what whether so
Speaker 1: far opens in this year, they still will host a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty six. And so those are some of
Speaker 1: the sports headlines. And then the no no NFL owners meetings,
Speaker 1: but they were gonna do a conference call. You'll probably
Speaker 1: add more to that later. I would, I would expect, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we can talk about that. Um. Did anybody some things
Speaker 1: that are happening. Did anybody watch the virtual the NASCAR?
Speaker 1: They've had a couple of virtual races. Did anybody catch
Speaker 1: that crickets? Right? Nobody? Yeah, I watched Look I'm not.
Speaker 1: I don't normally watch NASCAR, but obviously I'm starved for
Speaker 1: some kind of like competitive something so and I can't
Speaker 1: do like we're doing. We're doing like I'm doing like
Speaker 1: cornhole with my kids, like a dollar a hole now,
Speaker 1: like it's getting like really like definitely attributing to the
Speaker 1: delinquency of miners right now. But the nastional virtual race,
Speaker 1: like these guys, the drivers, they all sit at home
Speaker 1: and they've got like setups at home and they're racing
Speaker 1: against each other, and they showed the highlights and they
Speaker 1: were I don't watch a lot of NASCAR, but it
Speaker 1: felt like there were a lot more crashes in the
Speaker 1: virtual race than there were in a normal race, which
Speaker 1: is good thankfully. I mean, no one got as much
Speaker 1: on the line. No one got because yeah, because these
Speaker 1: guys are just like fuck it, you know, I've got
Speaker 1: that line you could do, they go for it and
Speaker 1: they don't have because it was like it felt like
Speaker 1: every hespen was showing the highlights. In every five seconds
Speaker 1: there was another rack. So that was that was I
Speaker 1: think that was pretty interesting. When you go race cars
Speaker 1: and in Vegas, they make you do those before and
Speaker 1: they're hard they're way harder than a real car because
Speaker 1: you can't feel, you know, the inertial. That's what Dale
Speaker 1: Arenhardt Jr. Was staying. He said, it's just the different
Speaker 1: he says completely obviously it's stiff and he you know,
Speaker 1: he said, it's just a different Um, just dynamic and
Speaker 1: it's a lot harder. But but I watched it. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know it's goes back to the it goes back
Speaker 1: to like the Eddie Murphy. Remember Eddie Murphy. Um, I
Speaker 1: think it was either raw delirious when he talked about
Speaker 1: when he talked about when you're starving and and you
Speaker 1: haven't eaten a while and somebody gives you a ritz Cracker,
Speaker 1: then you're gonna think that's the best rich cracker ever.
Speaker 1: He was He was referring to when you don't get
Speaker 1: something else after a long time, and when you get it,
Speaker 1: it's the best you've ever had. Um. So the rich
Speaker 1: Cracker I felt like that last night was my rich
Speaker 1: cracker that I thought was the best thing ever. Well
Speaker 1: have you seen that? Um? Like the Phoenix Suns are
Speaker 1: doing Twitch games are gaming on Twitch. LB is doing
Speaker 1: the same, NHL is doing it. E Sports is I
Speaker 1: think probably gonna be something that's big people can do
Speaker 1: from home. And look, I i'd watch you know, a
Speaker 1: bunch of NBA players playing and see each other. Um,
Speaker 1: so soon you were gonna be in better shape than
Speaker 1: the pro athletes. That's good. He said that he could
Speaker 1: be a pro athlete if he was six inches tall
Speaker 1: four four inches okay, even better four inches taller. Um, travel,
Speaker 1: what what else we were just we were talking earlier
Speaker 1: before we started recording about just some things like pro athletes.
Speaker 1: And you know, Aaron Rodgers had a pretty interesting story
Speaker 1: trying to get out of Peru. I guess he was.
Speaker 1: He was traveling with a with a small group in
Speaker 1: Peru right as things were shutting down and uh, and
Speaker 1: had a pretty hectic, um scary kind of getting out
Speaker 1: of Peru and getting back to the States. He's don't worry.
Speaker 1: He's resting at his Malibu home in a couple of
Speaker 1: miles away from me. I'm sure he's got a pretty
Speaker 1: nice set up. But I do like Aaron Rodgers quite
Speaker 1: a bit. Um. So, what what are some other things
Speaker 1: other things you're hearing reading about what what athletes are doing?
Speaker 1: Like I know a lot of athletes, sir, are are
Speaker 1: you know, donating the charities and getting involved themselves. What's
Speaker 1: going on? I've seen I've seen a few, you know,
Speaker 1: like early on you had Zion Williams and he covered
Speaker 1: the salaries of all the staff working at the Smoothie
Speaker 1: King Center. UM. Kevin Love did something similar, donated a
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars to the staff at the Rocket Mutual
Speaker 1: Field House. J. J. Watt and his his wife donated
Speaker 1: three and fifty thou dollars to the Houston Food Banks. UM,
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and CR donated a million meals in Seattle. UM.
Speaker 1: Then you have Ugusta National giving two million dollars for
Speaker 1: virus tests and relief, and Drew Brees committed in five
Speaker 1: million to help Louisiana. And then uh, you know, owners
Speaker 1: and organizations are getting involved. And I saw one Steve
Speaker 1: Balmber pledged million to coronavirus aid and vaccine research. So
Speaker 1: you're you're having a You have a lot of celebrities
Speaker 1: and sports figures getting involved in celebrities as well. So
Speaker 1: what's the celebrity deem Landino doing? What am I doing?
Speaker 1: I am? I am social distancing right now. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm doing. I'm doing my bart to stay away from people.
Speaker 1: I'm when I did go for a walk, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about my walk means a walk later. You've
Speaker 1: been social distancing since I've known you, I know, But
Speaker 1: now now i'm I've been I've been social distancing forever.
Speaker 1: Now everybody's doing it. Now it's a cool thing. I
Speaker 1: was doing it before. How much screw you? And now
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it because I'm being told
Speaker 1: to do it and I'm like, this has been my
Speaker 1: thing for a while, and now now all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh cool, um, let's Joe, what's I watched
Speaker 1: some highlights again? What I just like? I watch Sports Center?
Speaker 1: I got I need something and I watch some highlights
Speaker 1: and some pretty weird sports, like are there live sports
Speaker 1: happening right now in the world? What can we? Can
Speaker 1: I go online and can I find something? I saw
Speaker 1: Marble racing. I actually watched a race. It looks like
Speaker 1: those old school race tracks when you're a kid, with
Speaker 1: the cars that go around and they announced it and everything.
Speaker 1: When the and then when the marble gets to the end,
Speaker 1: it shoots another marble out of the top and they
Speaker 1: just time how fast the marble gets around the track,
Speaker 1: so you could they're not racing against each other, it's
Speaker 1: it's times, yeah, exactly, exactly, So it's like it's like
Speaker 1: skiing where you time trials. So there's that. Um, I
Speaker 1: think there's some soccer still going you I think you
Speaker 1: mentioned that there was some soccer. Would know there's definitely
Speaker 1: there's definitely no fans soccer happening somewhere in the world.
Speaker 1: I know all the I know all the gamblers are
Speaker 1: betting on the sports, and I know all the poker sites,
Speaker 1: even the ones that are you know, they're so so
Speaker 1: our sports book in Vegas, what are they? What are
Speaker 1: people betting on in in in sports books? Right? Sports?
Speaker 1: Right now, everyone's betting on the sports. If there is
Speaker 1: soccer games, we're probably betting on soccer. Horse racing still
Speaker 1: going on. Um, that's pretty much it, man. I know
Speaker 1: the casinos are getting destroyed. Casinos are closed, closed, close, closed,
Speaker 1: So you can't even I wonder if I wonder if
Speaker 1: like say, like an MGM could come up with like
Speaker 1: an online casino. So I just logged on and on
Speaker 1: the casino, right, you got sports sim Madden, you get
Speaker 1: bet on Madden NFL two Uh, there's there's props of course,
Speaker 1: football props, basketball games list China, there's some China basketball.
Speaker 1: There's some sports simulation NBA two K. You can bet
Speaker 1: on UM, but I don't think you could. You have.
Speaker 1: Could you bet on w W before? I'm sure you could.
Speaker 1: I've never seen a line for w W even I
Speaker 1: mean you can. It's still scripted, so I can't imagine
Speaker 1: that that would be. Oh, here's a good one you
Speaker 1: can give. You able to find a line into that
Speaker 1: to get the you could. You could bet on things
Speaker 1: like the Grammys and even like Survivor and people know
Speaker 1: that stuff. They usually just limit how much you could.
Speaker 1: You could bet on it. You could actually bet on
Speaker 1: the New York Lotto. What do you mean bet on it?
Speaker 1: So they're still doing a lotto in New York takes

Speaker 1: total all balls three of thirty over one dred and
Speaker 1: a half even money. You could bet on the lotto.
Speaker 1: You could bet on betting, which is pretty amazing. That's
Speaker 1: that's pretty wild. Like I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: to a casino and watch some guy play, you know, blackjack,
Speaker 1: and then it on how he's gonna do. I mean,
Speaker 1: poker players do it all the time. They take each other,

Speaker 1: the fact that that that's happening, I get e sports.
Speaker 1: But now this is the only thing that we could
Speaker 1: possibly Let's go, Let's take a break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into some some meeting potatoes where I
Speaker 1: talk some NFL wolves changed the fold. All right, we're
Speaker 1: back on good calls. Let's let's jump right into some
Speaker 1: NFL stuff. So on Monday, that would have been the
Speaker 1: start of the league meeting, the March Meeting. The NFL
Speaker 1: has has several league meetings throughout the course of the year.
Speaker 1: Two main ones occur in the off season. The biggest
Speaker 1: one is the March Meeting. That's when you get all
Speaker 1: of your ownership together, You get your coaches, your GM's
Speaker 1: essential personnel at each club. You have a ton of
Speaker 1: league office people, and that's where they meet. There are
Speaker 1: there are sessions, um, they talk about rules changes, they
Speaker 1: actually vote on rules changes, they vote on by law proposals,
Speaker 1: things like that. They go through everything. It's basically the
Speaker 1: state of the Union for the NFL. The Commissioner speaks
Speaker 1: and uh and they have several presentations. I was I
Speaker 1: was lucky enough to be able to, you know, be
Speaker 1: at a bunch of those and actually give presentations to
Speaker 1: the entire group. And talk about you know, rules and
Speaker 1: officiating in the game itself. So that would have been Monday,
Speaker 1: and it would have gone through Wednesday, but that's been
Speaker 1: canceled obviously, and everything has been pushed back to the
Speaker 1: May meeting, which is in the middle towards the end
Speaker 1: of May. UM. What the league did do they had
Speaker 1: a Competition Committee UM meeting and and and basically this
Speaker 1: took place on Monday, the twenty three and UH, normally
Speaker 1: they would meet for several days leading up to the
Speaker 1: League meeting, but obviously, with what's going on, it was
Speaker 1: very abbreviated and ended up being only about a two
Speaker 1: hour conference call. And on that call you had members
Speaker 1: of the Competition Committee met people from the League office
Speaker 1: and they discussed the the club rules proposals, so the
Speaker 1: rules change proposals that came from teams, and also the
Speaker 1: Competition Committee is proposing several rules changes. So I just
Speaker 1: kind of want to go through. UM. We did go
Speaker 1: through the club proposals a couple of weeks, so those
Speaker 1: were made public and I'll just give you a quick
Speaker 1: summary and then we'll jump into what the Competition Committee
Speaker 1: is proposing. So first one, it was the Eagles proposed
Speaker 1: to change to the blindside block rule. And this really
Speaker 1: what it does is think think the play in the
Speaker 1: in the Texans Um Buffalo playoff game, and there was
Speaker 1: a blind side block that was called ended up being
Speaker 1: a pretty big call. It was on Cody Um, I
Speaker 1: think it was Cody Parker was the the offensive lineman
Speaker 1: for the Bills and he was called for a blind
Speaker 1: side block. It wasn't a real big time, you know,
Speaker 1: knocked the guy off his feet type block, but but technically,
Speaker 1: by the letter of the law, was a foul. And
Speaker 1: when Philadelphia is proposing is that the language has changed
Speaker 1: to say that any block when you when you initiate
Speaker 1: with form the shoulder to an opponent who can't reasonably
Speaker 1: expect that contact, that would be a blind side block.
Speaker 1: So so it basically puts a little more discription on
Speaker 1: the officials and says, you know, if that defender can't
Speaker 1: protect himself, can't expect that block, then you can't block
Speaker 1: hienforcibly to the body. So, um, that was one They
Speaker 1: the other the other couple of rules changed proposals from
Speaker 1: from the clubs the alternate to the on side kick,
Speaker 1: and this would be you know attempting a fourth and
Speaker 1: fifteen play from the that did get that got some
Speaker 1: support from the Competition Committee, So I think the committee
Speaker 1: split on this. UM. I still don't think you're gonna
Speaker 1: get Remember, you need twenty four votes, twenty four yes
Speaker 1: votes out of thirty two to pass a rule. I
Speaker 1: don't think you have twenty four clubs that are gonna
Speaker 1: pass that, that are gonna say yes to that. But
Speaker 1: but again, I think that's gaining momentum UM and we'll
Speaker 1: continue to see how that goes. Um the coin toss,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get rid of the coin toss
Speaker 1: in overtime, so the team that scores more touchdowns during
Speaker 1: the game would get the would get the option at
Speaker 1: the start of the game, uh, at the at the
Speaker 1: start of overtime, and if the touchdowns were equal, then
Speaker 1: it would just go back to a coin toss, um
Speaker 1: going back to a fifteen minute overtime period in preseason
Speaker 1: and regular season. UM. That was another proposed change UM.
Speaker 1: And then you get into these last couple which are
Speaker 1: really interesting when you talk about the sky judge concepts. Right,
Speaker 1: so UH, it's it's ball the more and UH and
Speaker 1: the Chargers as a joint proposal talked about adding another
Speaker 1: member to the officiating crew that can sit up in
Speaker 1: the press box, watch the video and help out on
Speaker 1: administrative things and help and help the officials on the
Speaker 1: field and just be a normal part of the crew
Speaker 1: and be able to get involved. So so those are
Speaker 1: the club proposals, UM, the Competition Committee proposals. So they're
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna propose a couple of things. The first
Speaker 1: one is gonna be a kick return. And so right now,
Speaker 1: punt returner that I'm waiting to catch a kick, I'm
Speaker 1: protected as a defenseless player until I actually catch the kick.
Speaker 1: Um after I catch it, now I can be hit
Speaker 1: in the head neck area. Well, they're gonna extend that
Speaker 1: protection to basically say, like a receiver who's trying to
Speaker 1: catch a pass, that that return is protected until he
Speaker 1: has time to clearly become a runner, so until he
Speaker 1: has time to clearly protect himself. So they're extending that
Speaker 1: protection a little bit longer than just catching the ball,
Speaker 1: which I think is a good change. It's more or
Speaker 1: less how it's being officiated today. And uh, and so
Speaker 1: the committee is just gonna make the rule more in
Speaker 1: line with how it's being officiated, um the next competition committee.
Speaker 1: This is a minor clean up. This is an unsportsmlike
Speaker 1: conduct or personal foul on a on a missed field
Speaker 1: goal attempt. So let's say the Lions are are here's
Speaker 1: a rules question for you. You're ready, ready, okay? This
Speaker 1: is whoever buzzing and if you if you think you
Speaker 1: know the answer, buzzing, and then answer it. Okay. So
Speaker 1: the Lions are playing the Chiefs. The Lions are. It's
Speaker 1: fourth and ten from the Chiefs twenty yard line. The
Speaker 1: Lions are attempting lined up for a field world. The
Speaker 1: field goal attempt is no good wide right. During the play,
Speaker 1: the left guard grabbed and twisted the the defensive player
Speaker 1: the Chief's defensive player's face mask, and there's a flagdown
Speaker 1: for a face mask. Okay, where is the next snap?
Speaker 1: How is that penalty enforced? Where's the next snap? Should
Speaker 1: be the Chief's ball? Buzz I did not buzz in,
Speaker 1: so Chief's ball. Okay, so they should they should decline
Speaker 1: that penalty, right and then and then they should have
Speaker 1: the ball. They should be their ball at the twenty now, okay,
Speaker 1: at yeah, so I think they don't decline the penalty
Speaker 1: they take the tip penalty and they get the ten
Speaker 1: yards at because they were at the tent right, So
Speaker 1: they they snapped from the twenty. Okay, so then they
Speaker 1: should get the ball from the thirty. Okay. So here's
Speaker 1: a couple of things. So Travis was more right than Joe,
Speaker 1: but neither one of you was. Joe is like way
Speaker 1: more wrong, but either one of you. So well know
Speaker 1: what Travis said is there's just no penalty. They just
Speaker 1: get the ball. No, no, no, no, they get the penalty,
Speaker 1: but they just decline the penalty. Then it's their ball.
Speaker 1: So by rule in two thousand nineteen, the Chiefs would
Speaker 1: have to decline the penal dy to get the ball.
Speaker 1: Those penalties didn't carry over. Now, Joe, you were carrying
Speaker 1: them over. You only carried over ten yards face mass
Speaker 1: fifteen yards, but um so you missed five yards there.
Speaker 1: You've been watching football? How long? Cow many years? Here's
Speaker 1: the thing. But it's not also, but it's not the
Speaker 1: Chiefs ball at the twenty because the ball was snapped
Speaker 1: from the twenty. That means the kick the spot eight
Speaker 1: yards back. Well, that's not a touchback. The balls the
Speaker 1: ball was snap kicked from eight yards back. So a,
Speaker 1: so you go back to the spot of the kid.
Speaker 1: So in twenty nineteen, the Chiefs would have got the
Speaker 1: ball first and ten at what this change will do.
Speaker 1: It will allow the Chiefs to get the ball and
Speaker 1: carry over the fifteen yard penalty. So now you can
Speaker 1: tack on the fifteen yards. So what you're saying is,
Speaker 1: I'm actually ahead of my time. You were ahead of
Speaker 1: your time. You're bad math, but you are ahead of
Speaker 1: your time at I like that, And that's a good.
Speaker 1: How about this one? This is a good one. I
Speaker 1: want your opinion on that. So this is I don't
Speaker 1: know if you guys remember the play two years ago
Speaker 1: was it was Eagles Bears playoffs and there was a
Speaker 1: play where the past was ruled incomplete and the ball
Speaker 1: was just sitting on the ground. Nobody recovered it, and
Speaker 1: it went to review and they made it a catch fumble,
Speaker 1: but they determined because there was no clear recovery, the
Speaker 1: ruling on the field of incomplete pass stood. I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people were confused by that as to
Speaker 1: why if it was a catch in a fumble, why
Speaker 1: are we going back to an incomplete and uh? And
Speaker 1: that was the rule because there was no immediate recovery,
Speaker 1: no clear recovery and the immediate continuing action. What this
Speaker 1: change will will do is that if there's no recovery
Speaker 1: and the immediate continuing action, instead of reverting back to
Speaker 1: the call on the field, they will give the ball
Speaker 1: to the team that was last in possession at the
Speaker 1: spot where possession was lost. So in that play the
Speaker 1: Bears had the football instead of it going back to
Speaker 1: an incomplete past, the Bears would get a catch and
Speaker 1: they would get the ball to the spot where they fumbled.
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? Yeah? Makes sense? Blank blank looks
Speaker 1: that's get it. But I just think I mean once
Speaker 1: the whistles the whistle to play dead, then the plays dead. Right. Well,
Speaker 1: that's why that's why there with no immediate continuing action
Speaker 1: the recovery. That's why when we put the rule in,
Speaker 1: we said, look, both teams one team may be affected
Speaker 1: by the whistle, and so we really don't want to
Speaker 1: advantage or disadvantage either team. We're gonna go back to
Speaker 1: just the original ruling on the field. What this does
Speaker 1: is allows for the catch in that instance and and
Speaker 1: it just comes back to the spot of the phone.
Speaker 1: So I like that better. It doesn't happen very often,
Speaker 1: but but it is. It is something that nowadays it
Speaker 1: seems like dudes grab the ball no matter what. Just
Speaker 1: just coached. I mean they're coached. You talked to every
Speaker 1: coaching staff they're coaching their players. Play through the loose ball,
Speaker 1: jump on it, pick it up. And I've always told
Speaker 1: clubs when I talk to them, whether it's college coaches
Speaker 1: or NFL coaches, You've got to tell your guys to
Speaker 1: jump on that loose ball, and no matter what, don't
Speaker 1: let it sit there because because you can, you know,
Speaker 1: it goes to review. You can't get the football. Last change,
Speaker 1: this has to do with we've seen New England do it,
Speaker 1: Tennessee did it? Um, you know, I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: who else did it? Baltimore? Maybe this was the this
Speaker 1: was the consecutive fouls delay a game to to bleed
Speaker 1: the clock right, to take the time off the clock.
Speaker 1: And uh. And so this will basically say that, um,
Speaker 1: if the offense commits two consecutive dead ball fouls, that
Speaker 1: the clock will start on the snap. So you can't
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't have a delay a game, let
Speaker 1: the play clock go all the way to zero. Delay
Speaker 1: game and then let the play clock go all the
Speaker 1: way to zero again and fall start. Now it will
Speaker 1: go on the snap, so you you you can't um
Speaker 1: manipulate the game clock by committing those multiple dead ball
Speaker 1: foul and that's it. It's it's a quiet, quiet year,
Speaker 1: uh in terms of rule changes. And I think that's good.
Speaker 1: I think that's uh. I think that's important. Um. I
Speaker 1: don't like a lot of rule changes every year, especially
Speaker 1: with what's going on today. Think about, um, if things
Speaker 1: get pushed back and officials can't get together and they
Speaker 1: can't have clinics and things like that. Now you're trying
Speaker 1: to learn a whole bunch of new rules. Players, you
Speaker 1: know they're gonna they're gonna miss preparation time. UM. So
Speaker 1: I like the fact that there's not a lot of
Speaker 1: rules changes going into hopefully the season at this point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna see THEO t A s likely you're
Speaker 1: not gonna see these mini camps, rookie mini camps. So
Speaker 1: teaching the players getting en up to speed on the rules,
Speaker 1: it would be tough too. So yeah, with that question,
Speaker 1: and I think teams are doing now you know, they're
Speaker 1: just trying to figure out they're doing virtual meetings, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, that's what I wanted to talk about. So
Speaker 1: we've started. I started having zoom meetings, you know, on
Speaker 1: the college side, and I have one tomorrow coming up.
Speaker 1: I had several last week where we basically went through
Speaker 1: we went through the entire u n c A Replay casebook.
Speaker 1: So we went through the replay rule. We went through
Speaker 1: all the casebooks. So the case book is basically a
Speaker 1: list of play situations that officials can reference and uh.
Speaker 1: And so it's like, you know, team AY has the
Speaker 1: ball first and twenty eight passes rules complete, ball hit
Speaker 1: the ground, what's the ruling, and it goes through the
Speaker 1: ruling and so you have you have. I've got the
Speaker 1: book here in front of me, and uh. And so
Speaker 1: there's almost two plays in this book and we went through,
Speaker 1: you know, we're in the process of going through all
Speaker 1: of them, myself, Steve Shaw, who's the national Coordinator of Officials,
Speaker 1: and Bill Rollo, who's the coordinator officials for the Big
Speaker 1: Ten and the Mid American Conference also has some lower
Speaker 1: level of conferences like Missouri Valley Um who's on the
Speaker 1: replay committee, the chair of the n c A Replay Committee.
Speaker 1: We went through all of these all of these plays,
Speaker 1: and we did it on Zoom, and I'm telling you
Speaker 1: worked really well. It actually worked better on Zoom than
Speaker 1: it would have done would have been if we were
Speaker 1: in person because we had the we had an electronic
Speaker 1: version of the book in front of us, and we
Speaker 1: could talk through it and we can make the edits
Speaker 1: in real time as we discussed yet its was saved
Speaker 1: and uh, and so it worked really well. What we're
Speaker 1: gonna start, I'm putting together videos now and we're I'm
Speaker 1: gonna start having zoom calls with all of the Division
Speaker 1: one conferences that have replayed and uh. And we're gonna
Speaker 1: start doing our long zoom calls with each conference every
Speaker 1: week and go through and work with their replay officials,
Speaker 1: have interaction with them. I'm able to share my screen
Speaker 1: with them and show the video and talk through it. Um.
Speaker 1: And then the other thing I'm probably gonna do is
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna do some live streams on Instagram where
Speaker 1: anybody can come on and uh, you know, anybody that
Speaker 1: follows me can come on and and and watch my
Speaker 1: live stream and go through plays and just interact with
Speaker 1: people and and get and get some you know, get
Speaker 1: some dialogue going because we're gonna have to just you know,
Speaker 1: start preparing, like the season is going to start, you know,
Speaker 1: in in September, and we've got to figure out ways
Speaker 1: to do it. So that's uh, that's kind of what
Speaker 1: my next couple of weeks are going to look like, um,
Speaker 1: other than you know, staying in and uh and trying
Speaker 1: to remain you know, remain positive during during this crazy time.
Speaker 1: And it's cool the innovative things you see with how
Speaker 1: people are having it to do stuff with with TV
Speaker 1: and and meetings and I I you know, talk to
Speaker 1: a lot of friends who travel for work, and and
Speaker 1: you travel a lot, deem, it's like this could this
Speaker 1: could limit the amount of travel like going forward, Like
Speaker 1: you might not have to fly across the country or
Speaker 1: fly to Houston or fly to Charlotte or Chicago for
Speaker 1: these meetings. It'll be great for you and for your
Speaker 1: for your family life and just being at home. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that that will come
Speaker 1: out of this I agree with is that there are
Speaker 1: a lot of meetings and I'm sure there are a
Speaker 1: lot of businesses now that will look at, hey, we're
Speaker 1: our travel costs or x Y and z for these
Speaker 1: meetings that we're having and and when we can do
Speaker 1: them remotely. Obviously there's things that you have to do
Speaker 1: in person and and other things. But I think we're
Speaker 1: gonna see I think we're gonna see a paired down
Speaker 1: version of of business, you know, in terms of face
Speaker 1: to face and that kind of thing, and and things
Speaker 1: like Zoom or Microsoft Teams or or whatever else it
Speaker 1: is are going to be really the wave of the future.
Speaker 1: Even missing out all the happy hours, that's too bad, right, Well,
Speaker 1: people are doing I'm like, people are doing FaceTime happy hours.
Speaker 1: Now have you heard this? Like my wife's done it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like like together. I don't know, I can't. I have
Speaker 1: a hard time like just drinking. I'm still like, I'm
Speaker 1: not with you guys, so I don't know. I have
Speaker 1: a hard time drinking by myself. But um, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a weird time. And we've been doing
Speaker 1: those happy hours every day with the Ani and crew.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but Joe, Joe, we're gonna talk about that.
Speaker 1: Let's let's go to a break and then we're gonna
Speaker 1: find out how all right, we're back on good calls.
Speaker 1: And I just want to know, have you guys, have
Speaker 1: you did have you done your homework assignment? And have
Speaker 1: you watched the phenomenon that phenomenon other than coronavirus, the
Speaker 1: other phenomenon that is sweeping the nation? Tiger King. I
Speaker 1: watched two episodes and then I watched the last one
Speaker 1: because I knew we wanted to talk about it today,
Speaker 1: like you're doing like what do you do? Like the
Speaker 1: clip notes, like what are you doing? Well? I I
Speaker 1: was only into it a little bit, so I was like,
Speaker 1: I just want to see how this ends. See you
Speaker 1: miss so much that I gotta be how first? I
Speaker 1: have so many questions? How can you own be into
Speaker 1: it a little bit? It's the most ridiculous thing I've
Speaker 1: ever seen in my so insane, like what you guys
Speaker 1: know the saying of you can't look away from a
Speaker 1: train wreck, but I I can look away from a
Speaker 1: train wreck. Travis. Travis is the one person that he's like,
Speaker 1: there's a there's a giant train wreck in front of him,
Speaker 1: and Travis is just like, do you know, honestly, that
Speaker 1: show it's overload because it's like, what's nineteen train wrecks
Speaker 1: happening every episode? Like start with start with Joe exotic okay, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, you can never call me that again. Okay,
Speaker 1: but start with start just just him alone. Can then
Speaker 1: you add the cast of characters in his zoo. Okay
Speaker 1: he's married to a convicts, married to two straight dudes
Speaker 1: that are just into the cats and meth Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: he's they're all convicts. The head, the head zookeeper, who
Speaker 1: might be my favorite to do with the long air
Speaker 1: that it's the girl that gets her arm bitten off.
Speaker 1: The other guy has no legs. He has no legs,
Speaker 1: and he's like you probably think there might have been
Speaker 1: from a from a tiger accident, no zip lining, like
Speaker 1: what like? What? Okay? So you start there. Then you
Speaker 1: go to Carol in Tampa at Big Cat Rescue, who
Speaker 1: who is really accused of feeding her ex her husband,
Speaker 1: her missing husband to the lions and the tigers. Okay,
Speaker 1: which she probably did, right, are we are? We can
Speaker 1: we agree on that it's very it's very possible. It's
Speaker 1: very possible. And then you go who who actually I
Speaker 1: want to move there? Doc Antel, the guy in South Carolina.
Speaker 1: The thing he has going there like he's got a
Speaker 1: cult of it's the seems like the most amazing place
Speaker 1: in the world. The dude who came on the elephant,
Speaker 1: right on the eleph and then did you see him? So, Joe,
Speaker 1: did you see the scene when he takes the element
Speaker 1: into elephant into like the river to bathe and there's
Speaker 1: like boaters going by, right, I saw that. Could you
Speaker 1: imagine Joe like in the river, like in your house,
Speaker 1: your river house in Arizona, if we were like on
Speaker 1: the boat and all of a sudden we saw this
Speaker 1: guy with an elephant coming off, Like what. My favorite
Speaker 1: part of the whole show, when I realized it was
Speaker 1: the most insane, ridiculous thing I've ever seen, is when
Speaker 1: the what's the douche bad guy's name the low is
Speaker 1: that his last name Jeff Jeff Low? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: the best, he's the best. When he pulls up in
Speaker 1: a ferrari with a tiger in the passenger seat, and
Speaker 1: it was like, that's not that, that's not that weird
Speaker 1: guy pulled up in a ferrari. There's a tiger in
Speaker 1: the pastor seat, and you're like, oh, that's totally normal,
Speaker 1: but you are watching the most I'm already like, this
Speaker 1: is insane. It's the craziest thing ever. And then I
Speaker 1: and then they introduced Jeff Low and I'm like, wait, no, not.
Speaker 1: And he's not like a guy in like a button
Speaker 1: down shirt and a pair of khakis. He's a guy
Speaker 1: who's so single handedly keeping affliction afloat number one. He's
Speaker 1: got the genes with the the like, you know, the
Speaker 1: elaborate back backpocket design. He's in true religion, makes him
Speaker 1: right with the hat over it, the do d with
Speaker 1: the hat over it with I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: got fake care coming out of the back of that thing.
Speaker 1: But and then he's gonna take over. And then he
Speaker 1: joins forces with the other guy, Tim, who's a maniac too.
Speaker 1: That's the killer. No, no, no, no, no, the killer
Speaker 1: That was Alan. That was Alan. How about Alan? When
Speaker 1: they interview Alan in the bathtub, like when they were like,
Speaker 1: was Alan Like Hey, I'm about to take a I'm
Speaker 1: a back to bath you know you still want to
Speaker 1: do this interview? They're like, yeah, of course, let's do it.
Speaker 1: It's insane. So think about this, Tan, This is the
Speaker 1: thought that I had, So think about all the footage
Speaker 1: we saw that was completely out of this world, the
Speaker 1: most ridiculous that you've ever seen, and yet all the
Speaker 1: footage got burned, like what was on those tapes? Remember
Speaker 1: everything got burned his show, his all his stuff that
Speaker 1: he was shooting in his studio, which he burned down
Speaker 1: by the way, like he basically burned down his own
Speaker 1: place because he thought that they were going to come
Speaker 1: after him. Then you've got the other guy that you
Speaker 1: sent me the picture, the other guy on the jet
Speaker 1: ski what was that? That guy who's rabbing people out
Speaker 1: left him? Right, It's like where are you? Like I wanted,
Speaker 1: I wanted a hundred more episodes. Remember these are still
Speaker 1: open cases, so there may be more episodes coming, right,
Speaker 1: Remember he's coming down still, he's still in prison. I
Speaker 1: don't think anything is has been the guy that took
Speaker 1: the money Alan, I mean, he took three thousand dollars
Speaker 1: to go kill Carol Baskin and never did it, but
Speaker 1: basically got off Scott free at this point, which doesn't
Speaker 1: make anything. Jeff Low clearly involved. I mean Jeff Low
Speaker 1: was was was diagramming the whole thing, like he was
Speaker 1: writing the playbook as to how we're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 1: kill this bitch, and it was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's insane. I don't understand why they wanted her dead
Speaker 1: just because she was competition for their business. She was
Speaker 1: trying to get you know, yeah she I think obviously
Speaker 1: he's a little bit off, but she was trying to
Speaker 1: prevent them from being able. The only way they were
Speaker 1: making read them. She was reading and selling. They were
Speaker 1: doing the petting. UM. But Joel, like when Jeff low
Speaker 1: is taking tiger cubs in a suitcase in Vegas of
Speaker 1: the sweets like that, I feel like that's something you
Speaker 1: would do. Yeah I do that. I better No, I
Speaker 1: feel like you would like you would take like somebody
Speaker 1: would be like, hey, I got a surprised and and
Speaker 1: take them up to that suite and have them petting
Speaker 1: tiger cubs. Yeah. You know what's funny that you said that,
Speaker 1: because when I watched that, I was like, oh, that's illegal. Yeah.
Speaker 1: How many biggest suits have you been in where they've
Speaker 1: been tiger cubs? Well? None? But like, what's the I
Speaker 1: don't understand what, what's what's the big deal? I can't
Speaker 1: take a puppy upturn what? What's scary? What's crazy? Is that? Um?
Speaker 1: There are more, there are more tigers in captivity. UM.
Speaker 1: Than in the wild, like they are more in in
Speaker 1: our country in the United States, in like and who knows,
Speaker 1: like these are three you know, the Big Cats Rescue,
Speaker 1: the Joe Exotics place, the place in South Carolina, but
Speaker 1: who knows they've been selling these tigers for how many years?
Speaker 1: Like there's some dude down the block for me in
Speaker 1: Santa Monica who's in a two bedroom apartment and has
Speaker 1: a tiger, Like, like where are they? I love? I
Speaker 1: love how they're like three grounds, like the three grounds,
Speaker 1: like what I paid for my dog. And they're selling tigers.
Speaker 1: That seems like a pretty reasonable price. Right if they
Speaker 1: get to be eleven ft tall, that's a thing like
Speaker 1: for and that's the problem for while a little like
Speaker 1: I would I would love to have a tiger cub
Speaker 1: as a pet. And and then right, I can't wait
Speaker 1: to cut that. You looked right out of the camera.
Speaker 1: That was just beautiful. Let's go still good. But they
Speaker 1: had but they'd had five hundred pounds when it's costing
Speaker 1: you ten grand a year two And they were going
Speaker 1: to Walmart. How funny is they were going to Walmart
Speaker 1: and getting me expired me inspired me. And then they
Speaker 1: were taking some of it home that they didn't like.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, this is still good. So so I
Speaker 1: got not taking taking at all. So brisket on one
Speaker 1: thing that had crossed my mind the whole time I
Speaker 1: was watching the shows. I just got a tattoo last
Speaker 1: week of three lions on my arm, and I was like, God,
Speaker 1: if I don't watched this show before, I may not
Speaker 1: have may not have that when we when we are out,
Speaker 1: when we are out of this time and we're out,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's happening right now. I'm telling you

Speaker 1: I don't know how to did this. I might have
Speaker 1: three octopuses on my on my arm instead, you are
Speaker 1: the Lion King. Now all right, let's let's shift gears. Um,

Speaker 1: Cocktails are acceptable at any hour and nobody knows what
Speaker 1: time it is. That's perfect. That is yeah, that's perfect.
Speaker 1: That is exactly what everybody's house is right now. Um.
Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty good for me. It wasn't
Speaker 1: like I went the other way like the thing. I guess.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the best content, but
Speaker 1: it was the one that stuck with me the most.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you see this, because it made
Speaker 1: me and you you guys know, I'm not Joe always
Speaker 1: wants me to be like more emotional and give like
Speaker 1: feelings and stuff, and I don't do that. But this
Speaker 1: got me. It was, uh, you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but the way it was presented. It was a doctor
Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia who was who's been working in you know,
Speaker 1: e er and all that stuff, and he came home
Speaker 1: and his son went to run up to him and
Speaker 1: he his initial reaction. The doctor's initial reaction was to
Speaker 1: back away from his son, and he immediately immediately like
Speaker 1: dropped to a knee and started like crying because of
Speaker 1: just the the enormity of like, ay, what he's dealing
Speaker 1: with probably on the daily basis, which will never will
Speaker 1: never know and be like here it is like he
Speaker 1: comes home from all this craziness and and his son
Speaker 1: wants to give him a hug and he and his
Speaker 1: first reaction is don't touch me. It's like that was crazy.
Speaker 1: Like I was like, oh my god, And I was like,
Speaker 1: what is this salty discharge coming from my eyes? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll make you hug your kids a little tighter for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah we're not so or not or not. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: so let's get into Travis, walk us through your day today.
Speaker 1: It's it's more of the same. Got up around he's
Speaker 1: six fifteen, fed the little guy. Uh. And and then
Speaker 1: as soon as I get him to sleep, my daughter
Speaker 1: wants to get up. And I'm letting my wife sleep
Speaker 1: because she did the overnight and she's got to work.
Speaker 1: You know, she works from home, and so she she's
Speaker 1: still working as amand but sony, so I go into
Speaker 1: get my daughter and then I start making breakfast and
Speaker 1: and and then it's then then my wife's up, then
Speaker 1: my son's up again, and it's like you're just juggling
Speaker 1: two kids and I take one, I take take my
Speaker 1: daughter outside to drop pictures on the on the driveway,
Speaker 1: and and then it's and then it's back to taking
Speaker 1: care of my son, and you know it's it's Joe,
Speaker 1: are you listening to this? Yeah? I did have one question.
Speaker 1: So you're on paternity leaving your wife's working. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was messed up about this whole situation, Like, so she
Speaker 1: works part time, so she's not eligible for UM, so
Speaker 1: she has to work through this. This is this is
Speaker 1: the system our country has set up. Nobody's working, but
Speaker 1: yet your wife, who just had a child is working.
Speaker 1: You know what would you take this to the top?
Speaker 1: I know, right you you don't even want to talk
Speaker 1: about that with her. She's like the Hartford still sends
Speaker 1: stuff like, oh, you've been denied. You've been denied. When
Speaker 1: leading up to it, they said that she would get
Speaker 1: X amount of paid time off and she didn't get any.
Speaker 1: So and then Hartford still sends her stuff. She's not

Speaker 1: for a walk um over the weekend with the kids,
Speaker 1: and that was a weird experience, like it's and I
Speaker 1: and I and I'm finding myself, Like I don't I'm
Speaker 1: finding myself. I'm not. It's like when I drive, I'm
Speaker 1: never happy. Now when I walk. I'm never happy because
Speaker 1: people people were walking down the street, and people are
Speaker 1: crossing the streets so they don't come in contact with us,
Speaker 1: and I'm getting offended. And then other people are are
Speaker 1: not giving us enough distance and I'm like, what the dude,
Speaker 1: back off? And this is my entire walk, Like I'm
Speaker 1: stressed being I'm supposed to be happy, and I'm stressed
Speaker 1: because I'm like, why why are you walking across the
Speaker 1: street from me? And then why are you too close?
Speaker 1: Like it's not I'm not going for walks anymore. You know.
Speaker 1: One thing I've been doing that's really give me a
Speaker 1: little bit of joy. I go for a drive in
Speaker 1: the Tesla. There's nobody on the street, so you could
Speaker 1: just gas. You could just gas it. Deane. We talked
Speaker 1: about that last I might actually just go take a
Speaker 1: ride up pch and just go up to Malibu and
Speaker 1: just whatever. And because I really haven't gotten gotten out,
Speaker 1: um and just do that because look for Aaron Rodgers house.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look for Arion Rodgers And it's just like, hey,
Speaker 1: I love to go. You know, well sit six ft apart,
Speaker 1: but we can go over some stuff. The thing about
Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers. I'd love to know how many times
Speaker 1: he was in the airport trying to get out of
Speaker 1: Prue and he how many times do you say, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm Aaron. You know I'm Aaron Rodgers? Right? How many
Speaker 1: times did that come out? Don't you know who I am?
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's gonna flying Prue, but I'm
Speaker 1: thinking it's on our walks, like we go out. You
Speaker 1: guys probably seen the same thing. It's like everybody really
Speaker 1: just wants to wave and say, hi, Hey, how's everything going? Like, uh,
Speaker 1: my neighbors did uh they did quarantine Bingo yesterday. So
Speaker 1: I all sat in our driveways and like folding chairs,
Speaker 1: and one dude went on his rooftop deck and screamed,
Speaker 1: oh sixty four or whatever. Yeah, and everybody was in
Speaker 1: the driveways and then gave a bottle of it is.
Speaker 1: We are coming up in some we are coming up
Speaker 1: with some creative ways to do things. I'm thinking about
Speaker 1: driving to the Grand Canyon I've never been, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I don't have shipped to do all week? Would be cool.
Speaker 1: You could distance their state parks open? Are they closed? Now?
Speaker 1: It's open, but there's like nobody working there so you
Speaker 1: can kind of just run them up under the glass
Speaker 1: walkway for free. What happened to Joe? We we haven't
Speaker 1: heard from him in six weeks went to the Grand
Speaker 1: We haven't seen him all right, Travis, I emailed you
Speaker 1: a script. Pull it up. So if you've been listening,
Speaker 1: you know what we're about to do. If your new listener, Travis,
Speaker 1: We're gonna find the role that is right for him.
Speaker 1: Travis is gonna addition. Um, so this this is a
Speaker 1: little film. You're additioning for a movie called Braveheart. Okay.
Speaker 1: And so you are a you're a Scottish rebel William Wallace,
Speaker 1: and you are you are fighting for Scottish freedom from
Speaker 1: from England. And this is a scene where where Willis
Speaker 1: Wallace has started a rebellion. He's won a couple of
Speaker 1: small battles. Now this is really the big first battle,
Speaker 1: um lee with England, with the armies of England. And
Speaker 1: so this is before the battle. This is William Wallace
Speaker 1: showing up at the battle. And uh, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: have a dialogue. Okay, So you're a dialogue don't really
Speaker 1: have a Scottish accent, you just travish. You just play
Speaker 1: the role how you want to play it. You however
Speaker 1: you want to do it, Okay, all right? You ready? Sure?
Speaker 1: Where is thy salute? For presenting yourself on this battlefield?
Speaker 1: I give you thanks. This is our army. To join it,
Speaker 1: you give homage. I give homage to Scotland. And if
Speaker 1: this is your army, why does it? Why does it go?
Speaker 1: We didn't come here to fight for them home, the
Speaker 1: English or too many sons of Scotland. I am William Wallace.
Speaker 1: William Wallace is seven ft tall. Yes, have heard kills
Speaker 1: men by hundreds, And if he were here, he could
Speaker 1: consume the English with fireballs from his eyes and bolts
Speaker 1: of lightning from his arts. I am William Wallace. I
Speaker 1: see before me an army of my countrymen here in
Speaker 1: defiance of tyranny. You have come to fight as free men,
Speaker 1: and free men you are. What would you do without freedom?
Speaker 1: Will you fight fight against that? No? We will run
Speaker 1: and we will live. I fight and you may die,
Speaker 1: Run and you'll live at least a while, and dying
Speaker 1: in your beds many years from now. Would you be
Speaker 1: willing to trade all those days, all the days from
Speaker 1: this day to that, for the one chance just one
Speaker 1: chance to come back here and tell your enemies that
Speaker 1: they will make table. They will they take you our lives,
Speaker 1: but they'll never take our freedom. All right. So the
Speaker 1: worst of this, he inspires the entire army too, and
Speaker 1: to an amazing victory in this battle. And and if
Speaker 1: you were leading this army, they have speed, is prepared,
Speaker 1: they would have gotten routed. This was not appropriate. We
Speaker 1: must didn't prepare speeches. He was speaking off the cuff.
Speaker 1: They would have gotten every single one of them would
Speaker 1: have gotten killed that day if you had given him
Speaker 1: the psychop speech. And I'm not even gonna read. I
Speaker 1: gave you the There's more, but we're not even gonna
Speaker 1: read that one because you Oh my god. Everybody's like,
Speaker 1: you know what, we're leaving. I'm good with the bad.
