Speaker 1: not just nice, like fancy. It wasn't even fancy. It

29
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,720

31
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: so tired. Eddie and I have been on the golf

32
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: course since six o'clock this morning for three days, and

33
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: it's the greatest thing ever. But I'm also tired. I've

34
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: also been really sick um for a bit um. So

35
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: let me just start with a couple of things. I'm

36
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: mind right now. What I want to get to definitely

37
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: Tom Brady retirement. Also, it's the Pro Bowl this weekend,

38
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: so almost d g AF about football. And on my

39
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: Twitter feed now I get fights all the time. You

40
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: got on Twitter, doll, kind of not. I get videos

41
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: of people fighting all the time. Why are you like

42
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: in an algorithm. I don't like watching fights because for

43
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: the for the most part, watch people get punched, and

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: I don't like people just fighting makes me a comfortable.

45
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: It made me a comfortable in school. I wasn't someone

46
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: that was like, oh fine, let's go watch but I

47
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: watched them and there's this account called fight Haven and

48
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: it pops up. I'm clicking into it now, so it's

49
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: gonna give me them again for sure for a while.

50
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: So you're not following them, they just don't follow them,

51
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: but it pops up in my for you, which at

52
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: first I hated on Twitter because it was like, what

53
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: does Twitter need too for you? And it's actually pretty

54
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: good because it's the same stuff that I followed, just

55
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: a couple other things that are like it, and I

56
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: like it. And so, but they keep giving me fights

57
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: from fight Haven. And what I like about these fights

58
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: is it's always somebody doing something mean or dumb or

59
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: picking on and then get there butt whooped. So it's

60
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: almos almost like a superhero movie. Yeah, and so this guy,

61
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: but I don't like to really watch the bodies, the

62
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: fists flop into the faces and that the that physical part. Man.

63
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: But there's was one customer in a restaurant I'm watching

64
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: right now. He goes in, he's pissed about something, and

65
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: he's like yelling at the store on restoring. There's probably

66
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: two thirds of what the customer is sizewise, and the

67
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: storm was like, hey, man, all good, let's let's fix up.

68
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: And the guy starts to be real aggressive and walks

69
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: back into the kitchen, and so the story was like, no,

70
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: you can't go back there, and he shoves the store

71
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: store and he still cool, chill is shorter, skinnier, cook, chef, waiter,

72
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. It comes back and it's like, hey,

73
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: there's no need for this. The customer, he's huge and

74
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: like Tommy Bahamas works and a T shirt, takes a

75
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: big right right cross swing at him and the owner

76
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: just takes about a half half head back and again misses. Well,

77
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: he's just in his momentum. The owner throws him in

78
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: like the big sink, and then the other guy comes

79
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: in and they just start pounding this dude, and I'm like,

80
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: doesn't talk about talking about shouldn't make a plain a

81
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: buch of French fries being cold. But I don't like fights,

82
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: but I like it when people get there just do. Yeah,

83
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: there's always better when like they deserve it. Yes, there's

84
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: the other one. I was watching a minute ago on

85
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: the toilet was there was this He looked like it's

86
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: about fifteen, and he was about half the size as

87
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: When you look at that, it makes he fel like

88
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: we're not on, we're not do check. And so this

89
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: guy's probably looks like a senior in high school, and

90
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: he's picking on the kid and he's like choking him

91
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: and he keeps he chokes him and shoves him back,

92
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: chokes him again and shoves back, and this kid it's

93
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: like all right. So the big kid then takes him

94
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: and shoves him to the ground hard. And this little guy,

95
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: I don't know what he does kickboxing wise, does some

96
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: sort of Mortal Kombat ground spin, wipes the dude out,

97
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: kicks him in the face. I don't remember how to

98
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: his hand did like the claw when he had a concussion.

99
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: It's what happens to the big guy on the ground.

100
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: He gets whooped and the little kid is a little fourteen,

101
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: it's much smaller, standing over him going now, what would

102
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: you like me to do? Now? What would you like

103
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: me to I mean, and the big dude is out

104
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: and so I don't like fights, but I do like justice,

105
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: and so they give it to me all the time.

106
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: And I just got a bunch of more because I

107
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: keep telling you about it and I've been on this

108
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: one video. Um anyway, So for you page, good fight, haveing, good,

109
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: lots of golf, good brain, a little tired, um, But

110
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: we are in Pebble Beach playing golf in the Pebble

111
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: Beach Pro Am. We played all the practice rounds this

112
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: week and have a lot of stories and a lot

113
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: of notes to tell you about. And but I'm gonna

114
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: start first with Tom Brady retire tiring, which it just

115
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: popped up on my feet today under Fight Haven and

116
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: then he got beat up, but that's just Zell went

117
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: cross body on him and I was like, you know what,

118
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: But now he gets on and says the stuff, and

119
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: that's it. Here's why I liked it. Nobody broke it,

120
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: Schefter Rapp report didn't break it. Then there wasn't speculation

121
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: waiting for a message from him or a cryptic tweet

122
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: or they're not going to talk to Teddy Bruski about

123
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: what he thinks. He's like, Hey, I'm good. Basically, it's

124
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: been awesome. Basically owns every record. He even has the

125
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: most Fantasy points ever. Really that's a cool record. Yes,

126
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: so good for Tom Brady. I did not think he

127
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: would retire this year. I thought he'd go one more.

128
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: And I think, like we always do with the greatest,

129
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: when we live with them, we began to take them

130
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: for granted because it's normal. Anything normal we take for

131
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: granted because it's every day normal. Every day we start

132
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: to go, oh, this is every day, so it's normal.

133
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: You know, in five, seven, ten years, we're gonna get

134
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: to go like I did when I was very young,

135
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: like you did. Oh, I watched Michael Jordan play, and

136
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: that would be Tom Brady twenty years from now, like

137
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: I watched Tom. I watched Tom Brady play, and we

138
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: took it for granted. For sure. Watching on all those

139
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, we expected the Patriots to be what they were. Um,

140
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: you know, Brady gets hurt, and um, they're not. You know,

141
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: you really made winning super Bowls look easy, just even

142
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: getting to them. All of all of that, Yeah, you

143
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: just it was. There was an expectation, there was an

144
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: expectation of greatness that he said, yeah, and with that

145
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: there was an expectation that once he reproved his greatness,

146
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: he was gonna let you know. He wasn't expected to

147
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: be great based on how much you get to play

148
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: at Michigan where he was drafted. That picture at the

149
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: pre draft workout the Indianapolis Combine, thank You a little

150
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: brain fry where he's just no shirt in boxers and

151
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: it looks like the long John Silver's guy. Yeah, he

152
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: looked like just a dude. So all of that. So

153
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: it was just that cycle of he wins, he wins big,

154
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: he continues to win big, he reminds you he shouldn't

155
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: be winning big, and it's almost like, well, if Tom

156
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: Brady's could do it, and I don't think this is true,

157
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: I can do it. But it was cool to see

158
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: somebody drafted sole late, somebody that didn't really get a

159
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: big run at starting starting quarterback in Michigan. Um, it's awesome.

160
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: So he's the best ever. I'm sure we'll do a

161
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: longer thing at some point as he's the best ever,

162
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: and what do you say? And he retired today and

163
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: there's no drama about it, and I can respect that

164
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: as well, because there was drama last time and he

165
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: did say that. He's like, you know, I'm not gonna

166
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: do it last time. You can only write off once, right,

167
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: and that's not true. But far brote off like nine times.

168
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: He I like, I like what he said, though, Like

169
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: I likely he just said, you know what, like the

170
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: all the drama behind the first time around, I'm not

171
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: going to do that. He did say this, you are

172
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: the first to know. Do you think he really meant that? Like,

173
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: I know schafter didn't break. I know he said that,

174
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: but do you really believe that? Like I want to

175
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: let my people know on social media, I'm gonna go

176
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: by the beach, sit by these condos and talk to

177
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: the fans, and they're gonna be the first to know.

178
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: At that level, if you tell anyone that has connections

179
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: and those connections have connections and relationships, even his agent,

180
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: I would be afraid that what would happen like last

181
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: time happens again. So this is a world built on relationships,

182
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: not just football, not just NFL, the world who gets

183
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: hired for this job? Who? And so I think he

184
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: probably had some people and he was like, man, I'm

185
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: really nearing a decision. And yes, I do think that

186
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: him getting on that was letting everybody know at the

187
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: same time, even the people that knew he was about

188
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: to make a decision. I think people knew he was

189
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: about to make his decision, but don't think he wanted

190
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: that to happen again, because then it's just a bad look.

191
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: And then you remembered always for being that Brett Farve,

192
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: because that's our final but most distinct memory is him

193
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: deciding if he's coming back, him being in the airport,

194
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: being chased over the top by helicopters. He's going to

195
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings as it was like o J. It was,

196
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: but it was ridiculous so many times, like that's what

197
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: you think about now, So yes, I do. I think

198
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: there are people knowing he was about to make a decision,

199
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: and maybe they knew Eileen, but not enough to be

200
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: able to go and call one of the guys chef

201
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: to report, because they would go unnamed sources say Brady's done,

202
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: and you can be at a named source. But yes,

203
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: I mean, and there are times it happens. I'll give

204
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: you a story, and I don't think I've ever told

205
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: before similarly, and I'm not comparing the two you've retired before.

206
00:10:53,880 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: Seven times, Actually this week, every day. And um, so

207
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: one of my dearest friends was a professional tennis player.

208
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: His name is Andy Roddick. And Andy was number one

209
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: in the world for a while. He won US Open,

210
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: went to Wimbledon finals so many times. He was America's

211
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: best tennis player forever. He was like in the top

212
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: ten for like longer than any other player at the time.

213
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: What are some crazy some crazy stats, right, And there

214
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: wasn't really much debate as to when he was gonna retire,

215
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: like it's gonna happen now, it's gonna hapen in six months.

216
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: But he was getting a little older in the tennis world,

217
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna speak for him, gonna be wrong in

218
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: some of these places, um and Andy was really strong

219
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: and where he could just bully people at times with

220
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: his strength and athleticism that way, some of the other

221
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: guys were getting not as strong, but they were getting strong.

222
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: But they also played a different style of tennis, which

223
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: is why and he never got far in the French

224
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: because you had to be able to move. Nadal was

225
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: always in the French because he is all over the

226
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: backs and that that that clay takes some of the

227
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: U featherball, so anyway, all the physics of tennis aside.

228
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: It's just a random morning. I'm just gonna assign a

229
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: day to the story on a Monday, and to get

230
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: a call from Andy, who when he was in the

231
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: States not playing tennis all over the world, we hung

232
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: out a really good amount, or we made a point

233
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: to just see each other, because you know, I don't

234
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: have a huge friendship group that I keep really close,

235
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: and neither did he frankly, and he calls me and

236
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: he goes, hey, man, I'm retiring. I'm like, wait, I

237
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: never I didn't think you're trying. I knew in the

238
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: next five years. And I'm like, what do you mean

239
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: you're retiring. He goes, I'm retiring. I just woke up

240
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: this morning and I'm gonna go play the US opens

241
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: my final one. And I just want you to know

242
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: before I tell anybody else, because I'm gonna I tell

243
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: the media now. And I'm sure he told his mom's dad,

244
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: but I think I was in that first little block

245
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: of friends he called. He goes, hey, it would be

246
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: really cool if you came up and went to the

247
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: tournament with me or watching my fine, so obviously, and

248
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: then I don't even have any money. It's not like

249
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: now where I'm wildly loaded. You know, it's so low. Yeah,

250
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: so as in Austin got a flight went up and

251
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: they didn't tell anybody. And I don't know, maybe Tom

252
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: Brady also just decided, this is my point, Maybe he

253
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: just kind of woke up and went, yeah, I think

254
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm done. It seemed like it. I think I'm done.

255
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: And because I saw that happen to Andy, who was

256
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: elite in his sport. So that's what makes me think.

257
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that's all like a pr It could

258
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a PR thing where he

259
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: doesn't want to go out remembered like that. But I

260
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: think it could have been him going I gotta make

261
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: a decision and he just wakes up and it's like

262
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it again, and you know what,

263
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: like it's really good that he did that instead of

264
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: waiting two more seasons and having three bad seasons. But

265
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he would have. I think he had

266
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: another couple. Listen. I think if he goes somewhere with the

267
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: the good offensive line where you can run play action,

268
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: you think you could have been good again. I you've

269
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: give been pretty I think you could have been a

270
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: top fift quarterback. It's just tough because you don't know

271
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: that's true, but you don't either. And there were times

272
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: this season when they did get their running game going,

273
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: because again, Brady's not mobile, never has been mobile, by

274
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: the way, it's not like the old age thing has

275
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: made him not mobile. Maybe a little less not mobile.

276
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: But with Brady, if you can if you don't have

277
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: a running game, if Blunt's not there, if they're not

278
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: getting four yards a pop, it does not open play action,

279
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: which which opens Brady's skill set completely. When Brady's running

280
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: play action, he's got the defense of the palm of

281
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: his hands because they've got to respect to run. And

282
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: he still had the arm. Nobody ever questioned his arm,

283
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: so I think he had another. But what's he gonna

284
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: do go to San Francisco? Not now especially, I mean

285
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: it's a u c L tear for a party one

286
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: where it's one of the u c L injuries. They're

287
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: they're continuing to go. Maybe by the time this comes out,

288
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: they'll know what's up specifically, but it could be six

289
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: months out, it could be less, and it's not a

290
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: full reconstruction. They're saying, which would be real bad and

291
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: he probably have to miss next season and or enough

292
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: of it to Matt, I think Pretty's probably the guy.

293
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why, because I used to say

294
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: he had to get to a super Bowl for sure

295
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: to be the guy. I think because he got hurt early.

296
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: And first of all, I had had a great season

297
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: when all those games in a row as a rookie,

298
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: La La. We know the story Tom Brady story, Mr Relevant.

299
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: The fact that he played so well and the only

300
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: time he didn't win is when he got injured in

301
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: the first six or seven plays. And then now that

302
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: we know how bout he came back into the game

303
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: with a torn knowing he was hurt, and then it's like,

304
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: well they're not throwing Bro's got one arm. The fact

305
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: that he was on that field and it shows you

306
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: like the dedication that he has. You know, because I

307
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: think you said it you saw uh McCaffrey throw up McCay.

308
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: When once I saw McCaffrey warming up, I'm like, this

309
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: is we're in trouble. You didn't you say, because again

310
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: I didn't get to watch all of it because we

311
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: were um Louis. They're listening to it out with our

312
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: first day here or watching it in a bar TV.

313
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: I didn't see him like looking at playbook pages. Oh yeah,

314
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: DoD They had the play the offensive coordinators had the

315
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: playbook out. McCaffrey was looking through it kind of almost

316
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: like counting two fingers, three fingers leapt, pointing to the

317
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: lap point of the right I mean, cramming, cramming for

318
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: the five plays that he was about to go in

319
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: and do. Crazy. I've never seen that before in my life.

320
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: Like he's got a physics final in two hours. So

321
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: much bones that that that he was there were They

322
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: had two helmets. They had his running back helmet and

323
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: had his quarterback helmet, and they were literally changing the

324
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: face masks. I didn't know that, Yes, and they were

325
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: changing the face mask being like, all right, this is

326
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: gonna be your helmet when you go in his quarterback

327
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: because you're not gonna be able to see what your

328
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: running back helmets. Crazy and Samcisco really good team. It

329
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: sucks that they lost like that because they didn't even

330
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: have a shot. Screw San Francisco. Don't like them, but yes,

331
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: they didn't have sucks. So that's our football version of this.

332
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: And I've taken a bunch of notes from over the

333
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: past few days. I'm gonna tell you guys first of

334
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: all about how we got here and exactly where we

335
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: are and set the scene. Um, so we're in Pebble Beach, Well,

336
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: the courses are in Pebble Beach, California. There's an event

337
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: called the A, T and T Pebble Beach Pro Am,

338
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: which they bring out celebrities and they team him with

339
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: pros and you just try to play well. And there's

340
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: a whole system based on what your handicap is. And

341
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: I don't have very good Handicap's fine, it's not good.

342
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not what you'd say I'm a good golfer.

343
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: I'm an average golfer. Occasionally I can play and occasionally

344
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: can hit hit it well, but I'm okay. And so

345
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: a few months ago and and everything will be out

346
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: by the time this comes out, so I can tell

347
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: the whole story. A few months ago, I was like, hey,

348
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,480

349
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: way late. They had already invited everybody, but they're like,

350

Speaker 1: we want you to come out. And Ben Rector, who's

351
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: a really good friend of mine, was the alternate last

352
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,239
Speaker 1: year and he played and and so I called him

353
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, should be here. He's like, yes,

Speaker 1: should be. It's an awesome week. You should be the

355
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: alternate because there's a good shot you get to play.

356
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: And so I was like, great, So I commit. And

357
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: by the alternate means I'm coming out playing all the practice.

358
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't even I need a caddy at this point,

359
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,640

00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: you're walking up to him? Because I didn't either, No,

456
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: not at all. I forgot I had a cowboy's hat on.

457
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: But he looked at me like, you know, like who

458
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: almost squinty eyed, like who is this guy? Funny, like

459
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: like who is this guy? This guy? And I got

460
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: and I'm just a coach. It's one of my favorite

461
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: things in the world to call a coach coach, like

462
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, like I don't need to call him by

463
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: my name, by their name. It's like coach, good to

464
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: meet you. And he shakes my hand, but he shakes

465
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: my handbones and he just like keeps the shape going

466
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: and then looks at my face, looks at my hat

467
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: as I don't like the hat of yours, And I forgot.

468
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: I forgot you had the hat on too. I forgot

469
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: I had the hat on. And I'm like, oh my gosh, yes,

470
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: commanders cowboys. Of course he was so nice. I was

471
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: shocked at how much uh information he was telling you.

472
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so I say, hey, what do you guys

473
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: do about quarterback next year? Like you see and if

474
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: he would say, because what am I? How oft am

475
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: I gonna talk to him? I'm never gonna see him again.

476
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: So I'm just like, hey, what's up the quarterback? And

477
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: do you know what he said? Uh? Yeah, who is he? No?

478
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: I don't really remember. He's talking about if I'm correct here,

479
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: Sam How And he he was like, I like how,

480
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 1: we really like how Sam played last year? Let me

481
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: make sure it was Sam before I just started saying

482
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: stupid stuff. And so he was like, yeah, he looked

483
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: great at and I think it was Sam because Sam

484
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: would be the rookie quarterback. Who's I think the string? Yeah,

485
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: and so because it was Carson Wentz, then Heineke, then

486
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: back to Carson Wentz. Then Sam How played the last

487
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: game and against Dallas. Maybe I think Sam How played?

488
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: Did the last game? Did you not? I don't think

489
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: so let me check it out. But on my phone,

490
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: so I don't have my I might be looking up.

491
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: So I'm just like, oh, Metts as you he spends

492
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: them all so well, we've you know, all season, he

493
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: has been girling. He just starts laying it down and

494
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: I was record on my phone. We just played it

495
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: on this Yeah, I mean he was giving you the

496
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: insides of it. This is what I really thought about him,

497
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: this is you know what, this is what we planned

498
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: to do with him. Like all of this stuff is

499
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: like pretty cool man, and I'm not gonna share it all.

500
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: But let me tell you. I know, of course not

501
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: you do know, I know exactly what's up. Okay. So

502
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: if I go to the Commanders and Cowboys box score, okay,

503
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: that that that was a wins game and not a

504
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: good Wins game. But what what what? Which one was

505
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: it that October two? So there was a later game

506
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: that there was a Commander Dallas game later in October two.

507
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: I think Sam played on that one. I think it

508
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: could be the second game. So we're gonna keep going here.

509
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: But he was also quite muscular for a guy who's

510
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 1: like sixties. Yeah, big dude, So that was awesome. I

511
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: also have just learned I just go up to people now,

512
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: but it's okay, yeah, and like he enjoyed talking to you,

513
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: I think. And what was funny too. Later and later

514
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: in the night, you know, there's some bands came up,

515
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: like Darius Rucker was playing or whatever. So I went

516
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: up to kind of just to get video and I'm

517
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: standing right behind him. I didn't even realize I was

518
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: standing right behind him where he was sitting. And he

519
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: turns around and he looks at me again. He says,

520
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: you're just too close to me. He says, you're too

521
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: close to me with that hat background. Okay, Week eighteen,

522
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: they played, well we could tain the Cowboys and Commanders.

523
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: That wasn't the trash game. So yeah, probably, so let's

524
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: see the Dallas Cowboys. I just played for Commanders. Commanders

525
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: one mm, yes, off at the spotlight. I still think

526
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: that was Heineke. Nope. Sam Hill watched the quarter Yeah,

527
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: I'm right, dude. I've done to you twice where I

528
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: believed you, but now but I didn't you. Also, I

529
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: didn't say on Joe Montana that was stupid. Oh my god.

530
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: Watching the quarterback. Sam Hall played in his first and

531
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: if il started completing eleven ninete sixty nine a touchdown hit. Yeah,

532
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: Sam Hill, Okay, anyway, good, good job, thank you, Eddie.

533
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: So all of that to say he was awesome, I'm

534
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: gonna market off my list. I'd like to tell you

535
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: the story about how I met Alex Smith. Now a

536
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: little bit of Alex Smith played football at Utah it

537
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: was a really good quarterback over there. I went to

538
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: the NFL, played for the Chiefs, had a bad bad

539
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,479
Speaker 1: played for more more than just the Chiefs, but had

540
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: a bad leg injury injury people. If he'd want much,

541
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: lets walk again much less. Play came back. We got

542
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: to come back. Was comeback Player of the Year. I

543
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: believe real inspirational story could be a Disney movie type

544
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: stuff like real bad Injury. Well, I see Ben Rector

545
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: and I was gonna go up because I wore compression.

546
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: It's really cold up here in the morning and at night,

547
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: really cold, and so I wore compressis like under compression

548
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: pants under my golf pants. So I went free. That

549
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: did a day one, but it was like three layers.

550
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: It was underwear, compression pants, and then pants. So my

551
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: pants were a little weirdly tightened, and so I was like,

552
00:27:58,119 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm just one of the compression pants I want to wear.

553
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: Big mistake because that spot in between my inn and

554
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: my bag, it like rubbed it raw and cut it. It

555
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: It was bleeding from those compression pants rubbing it back

556
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: and forth. Why has he been there talking to somebody

557
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: who I think could be Charles Kelly or something somebody tall,

558
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: and I walked up and I'm like, dude, I cut

559
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: my nuts in the middle of my nuts so bad.

560
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: And dude turns his head and it's Alex Smith, the

561
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: quarterback for it. And he's like half smiling, like he

562
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm joking or not. And I'm like, oh,

563
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: I manna interrupt this. I'm sorry, hey, as a go

564
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: man of Bobby is walked off. And so I saw

565
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: Alex again today because we were down doing this golf

566
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: thing and I said, hey, man, Bobby, I told you

567
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: about my nuts yesterday. He goes, he has a really

568
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: cool way to say hello, and and I said, well, dude,

569
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: sorry about that. He goes, are you kidding? He said?

570
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: When you left? I was like, that's an interesting guy.

571
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: And so but that's how I met Alex Smith. And

572
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: did you talk to him at all today? We talked

573
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: a lot today because we were and I'll get to it.

574
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: We were in the finals of the that the holding

575
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: one closest to the whole championship. So, okay, Alex Smith, Austin,

576
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: Jason Bateman. I saw Jason Bateman. No Eddie spot at

577
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: him first, and so there's Jason Bateman, sitting right there,

578
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, by himself long his like

579
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: long hair come out of his had um Jason Bateman.

580
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, oh wow, that is And if you

581
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: had any doubt again, he had the name tag Jason

582
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: Bateman whether just in case you don't know who that is.

583
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: So I didn't go up to him then because we

584
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: were listening to the rules of the event and we

585
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: hung around. We're just talking with everybody, and we were

586
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: at the very front and he was talking to somebody,

587
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: one of the volunteers, and she went to get him something.

588
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: I'm just standing there. You're standing there. It was like, heyres,

589
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: how's going man? He goes, hey, what's going on? He

590
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: doesn't know who I am, But he's also trying to

591
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: figure out if he should, like if he's met me

592
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: before one of these, because everybody just looks like normal

593
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: golfing people were all basically nerd uniforms like golf uniforms. Yes,

594
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: all new. Of course, it smells the first day of

595
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: school here. We all got a new school clothes. And

596
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, I'm by ownes. He's like, oh, it's

597
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: good to meet you, man, he says, the first time

598
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: here and he says, and then it just turns into

599
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: I say, Age, you play today and he's like, yeah,

600
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: he has, Eddie, how did you? How did you played it?

601
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: And we're just sitting there talking about golf as like

602
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: normal people that have played golf twenty times together or

603
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: have known each other. We in five minutes is a

604
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: long time just sitting talk. We probably talked for about

605
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,360

00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen yards away from us. But do you

637
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: hear him talking like that? He does talk like that.

638
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: He it's not a broadcast, it's it's normal conversation. He says,

639
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, I woke up this morning and I'm like,

640

642
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: very tall for sure, probably six four or six, which

643
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: is crazy because he looks tiny next to Romo, so

644
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: that means Romo's humongous. So he's there. I don't know

645
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: how to talk to Jim Nance or if he's even

646
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: a nice guy. And he's not playing. He's there to

647
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: call the event because it's a CBS event, and so

648
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: he's talking, I believe, to Charles Kelly or somebody that

649
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: I knew. Maybe Charles walked up when we were talking.

650
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: Later he's Jim Nance is in a conversation had just

651
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,720

682
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: I knew he was. I saw somebody really tall, that's

683
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: all really, but I didn't know who it was because dude,

684
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: like you said, in golf clothes, everyone kind of looks

685
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: the same. And I saw his face. I don't know

686
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: who that dude is. And then eventually I heard somebody

687
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: say like, hey, that's Posol. Oh my gosh, of course

688

691
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: a second and ask him how far something was, and

692
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,600

Speaker 1: I haven't had a really. And also he's so tall.

694
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: It's hard to just like casually get into one of

695
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: his conversations because it's like your slide in and you're like, hey,

Speaker 1: do is like there's like six or seven people in

731
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: each heat, but there are five or six heats. Uh,

732
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: there were five groups, so let's say there's thirty people,

733
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,840

Speaker 1: for We just go back and forth, back and forth.

758
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: It was awesome. I couldn't hear what the interview, what

759
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: you guys are saying, but whatever you were saying, he

760
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: was laughing at and then but he was just so

00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: quick and right back at me. I was like, oh god,

Speaker 1: Mr Young, I'm Bobby, a huge fan, and he goes

824
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: He's a college basketball handicapper and mid a major basketball

825
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: reporter who just quit his job. He's traveling around the

826

Speaker 1: country going to all these mid major games leading up

827
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: to March Madness. Bobby found him super interesting so wanted

828
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: to get him on the podcast. He wanted to talk

829
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: to him about this science project he had when he

830
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: was fourteen years old on sports betting that was deemed unethical.

831
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: Coleman also made the news after he chased down Big

832
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: Cat from bar Stool outside of their headquarters to try

833
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: and get his first break into the industry. And you

834
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: can follow him on Twitter and TikTok at sharp Shots Select.

835
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: Here's our interview with Coleman Crawley. Coleman, how are you,

836
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: Buddy Gray? How are you good? To talk to you? Eddie.

837
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you can meet Coleman. I've never met Coleman,

838
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: but and this is my friend, Eddie Coleman, my best friend.

839
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: We do the show together. I think Eddie's also going

840
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: to be super intrigued by you because I am. But

841
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: uh Coleman, I didn't want to start with this before

842
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: we talk about what you're doing. Now, will you talk

843
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: about what happened to you when you were fourteen years

844
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 1: old and you had to come up with a science

845
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 1: fair project. Yes, so I was in sixth grade. I

846
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: think I may back sleep in twelve UM, and I

847
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: had to come up with the science fair project. I

848
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: gotta be honest, it was actually my dad's idea, UM,

849
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: but I was the one who executed everything. So I

850
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: decided from my science fair project to see if I

851
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: could find trends within data to beat Vegas UM. So

852
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: for the first ten weeks of the college football in

853
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 1: the NFL season, I studied all thirty two NFL teams

854
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,959
Speaker 1: in the preseason top twenty five in college football. From

855
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: those fifty seven teams, I took the ten biggest outliers

856
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: and placed fake bets on them over the course of

857
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: the next three weeks, and I went seventeen and six.

858
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: So obviously I got a very good grade on my

859
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: science fair project. When I went on to the regional UM,

860
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: they gave me third place Top two. Moved on to State.

861
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: They then spoke to me afterwards and said I would

862
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: have been the clear winner, but they felt it was

863
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: unethical to move the project on. This was two thousand

864
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: and eight, so at different times, so it's fair projects

865
00:42:53,920 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: on sports betting. So but your dad also, I'm maybe

866
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 1: he was a bit progressive and understood that gambling is

867
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: not only for degenerates. It's actually entertainment and if you're

868
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: good at it, you could actually do something with it. Yeah.

869
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he just saw that I had

870
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: to love for math numbers being competitive, and thought he'd

871
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: put those two together. I don't think he saw a

872
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,959
Speaker 1: son that, um, I guess was so competitive it would

873
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: it would develop into a habit. But um, that's definitely

874
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: what happened. He's not much of a gambler, didn't probably

875
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: think I would be, but ended up becoming one from it.

876
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: It's just funny he fought the spread at twelve years old. Yeah, Like,

877
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,439
Speaker 1: that's the one of the funniest things I've heard forever.

878
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: I went over to Coleman's Twitter page and I was

879
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: just kind of scroll and watching some of the stuff

880
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: because what he's doing right now is very interesting. And

881
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: when I saw a Science Fair project tweet, I laughed

882
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: out loud. This is a kid standing with like a

883
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: you know, the three prong how it's like the middle

884
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: and it's like open, like a cardboard thing, and it's

885
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: him standing there next to it. See the picture. Yes,

886
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: that's definitely a school project twelve. It's sports, but that's awesome. So, Coleman,

887
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: you've always been a massive basketball guy or has it

888
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 1: been all sports all the time? No, definitely basketball has

889
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: been my main focus growing up. My dad was a

890
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: high school basketball coach, so that certainly pulled me to basketball.

891
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: But I love all sports for sure. So here's how

892
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: I got to know who Coleman was. I was sitting

893
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: at Caitlin's parents house. We were in Fort Gibson and

894
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 1: we were watching a Fort Gibson High school basketball game

895
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: because that's what her dad likes to do. And so

896
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: we were watching it, and what's your brother's first name, Coleman? Cooper.

897
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: So Cooper is out and they're playing like the number

898
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: five team in the conference. It's like number five whomever

899
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: Fort Gibson, who big underdogs, and Cooper just is knocking

900
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: them down. It's like three point three pointer. And Cooper

901
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: doesn't look like this crazy athlete. He just He's like

902
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: a normal guy, but all of a sudden, Cooper like

903
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: takes over the game with a shooting and I'm like, God, damn,

904
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 1: look at this guy. I think it was brother. Coleman

905
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 1: is and does sports and sports betting, and he's driving

906
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: around every mid major watching every team, so he knows

907
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: whenever it's not from March Madness, who you should bet on.

908
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: And I was like, tell me more. So I learned

909
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: the whole thing, and I messaged Coleman and I was like, Bro,

910
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: you gotta tell me about this. So tell all of

911
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 1: our listeners. Now, what are you in the process of doing.

912
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: When I talk about you're traveling around? What exactly where

913
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 1: are you traveling and why? So the goal of what

914
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm doing is basically trying to find Cinderella before she's

915
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: at the ball. So what started me on this journey

916
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: was I didn't believe the small and mid majors were

917
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: getting enough coverage. You know, they make these runs. You

918
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: look at St. Peter's makes the under the elite eight

919
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: last year. In late March, um I looked up the

920
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: average attendance of h D one school. St. Peter's average

921
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: five six people at their home games, Syracuse in the

922
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: same state average seventeen thousand in the Carrier down They

923
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: didn't even make the nc A tournament. So we have

924
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: a high level of basketball being played that I believe

925
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: is not getting enough recognition, And so I knew due

926
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: to these low attendance numbers. Man, I can get right

927
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: behind the bench or right behind the goal, something like

928
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,439
Speaker 1: that and get great footage of a really high level

929
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: of basketball being played and hopefully shed more light on

930
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: it beyond these teams in January and February before they

931
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: make the run in March. It's rare that someone does

932
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 1: something original in a place where there almost is no originality.

933
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: And that's to me, like he found a niche that

934
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: wasn't being focused on. And aside from just being interested,

935
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 1: I was like, it's brilliant. This kid's way smarter than

936
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: I am. And you're a kid. You're like what eleven? Now, like,

937
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: how are you? Yeah? I'm he's married though, too, right,

938
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: You're married? Yes, I am married. And I asked that question.

939
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: My wife would never let me drive to every game.

940
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: What does she say about this? So? Um, she's actually

941
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: in social media. Um. So she does social media marketing

942
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 1: for several companies, and when I originally told her idea,

943
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: she was like, man, this is just so original. And

944
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: she's known about my passion in college basketball for obviously

945
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: the last several years. UM. She thought this was something

946
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 1: that I couldn't not do. So she is, without a doubt,

947
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: my rock gives me just the most irrational confidence to

948
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: do something crazy like this. Um. But she's come out

949
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: with me on the road for four games three days already,

950
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: and then I actually had to come home to quit

951
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: my job to pursue this full time. So I took

952
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: a day off yesterday. I had been to games for

953
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: twenty seven straight days and she'll hit the road with

954
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: me for another week. So definitely will be great to

955
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: spend time with her, but incredible to have her support.

956
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: I couldn't do it without it. If your dad was

957
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: a basketball coach. And I'm gonna be very intrusive here,

958
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: how do you have money to even do this? Because

959
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:31,879
Speaker 1: it's not like you're you're coming from uh generations of wealth? No? No,

960
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: definitely not. My parents both public school educators, UM. So

961
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: I worked in sales and UM for I was employee

962
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: benefits consold and working in sales and so I kind

963
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 1: of had this idea in my head. I developed it

964
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 1: back in the summer and thought, Okay, I'm gonna work

965
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 1: my butt off, try to get a decent amount of commission,

966
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, get paid commission at the end of the year,

967
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: and then use that commission to then kick start these

968
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,240
Speaker 1: next two months, and hopefully I strike up enough engagement

969
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: enough eyeball that someone sees that, man, I could use

970
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: this guy full time with his grind, his knowledge of

971
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: the game, things like that, what to you and this

972
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,439
Speaker 1: would be funny because this is how it would happen,

973
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: you say, full time, Like what what do you feel

974
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 1: like would be good pay if someone were to hire you?

975
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: I mean, shoot, I don't know, like to do this

976
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: full time? I mean sixt k. Okay, So if I

977
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: once said Coleman, I got six d K, I need

978
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: you to travel to these games. It doesn't have to

979
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: be mid major. It can because that's a big part

980
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: of what you do, and I need you to do

981
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: a podcast based on it. You would go, I'm in yes, yeah,

982
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: especially at six K if I got expenses covered. If not,

983
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: it would maybe need to be a little bit more.

984
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: But I mean, even if this is something that I'm

985
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: doing for the months of college basketball season and then

986
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 1: I've got another job when it's not college basketball season.

987
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I have loved this so much that I

988
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 1: want this to be a part of what I do

989
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 1: in my life. He's so legit. Yeah, just and he

990
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: loves it, like you could tell he loves what he's doing.

991
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: Like this is so inspiring. And thank you, Bobby to

992
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: give your in laws a shout out to be honest

993
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 1: a person that gave me the confidence to to do this.

994
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 1: With Tyler Parker, UM, I gave him a call about

995
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 1: two years ago. I was like, hey, man, I made this.

996
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: Uh so kind of took back to what kicks started

997
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: this whole thing when covid hit. I decided I'd done

998
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 1: all this work to um try to be a bracketologist

999
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: like Joe Lunardi basically predict what sixty eight teams will

1000
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: be in the field. Well, when we don't get an

1001
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 1: n c A tournament, I was like, man, I've just

1002
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: done all this for nothing. I've got to put some

1003
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: use to it. So I made a fake selection show,

1004
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: put it out on YouTube, and then went through my

1005
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: fake sixty eight teams who would have won had we

1006
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: had a tournament, COVID not canceled it. So I had

1007
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: enough people reaching out saying that, man, you've got a

1008
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: talent in this, you should pursue this. That I called

1009
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: Tyler and I just wanted to hear Tyler's story of

1010
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: his come up working for the Ringer and things like that. Um.

1011
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: And he basically gave me the confidence to be like, yeah, dude,

1012
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: just because you're from Fort Gibson, you can do it.

1013
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: You've got a passion for it, your knowledgeable, Just be

1014
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: who you are and you'll find a way. Um. And

1015
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: so he was definitely an inspiration and initially kick starting this.

1016
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 1: So he's traveling around. Are you just in a car?

1017
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,800
Speaker 1: I mean you're just see in the car going Yes,

1018
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: My Honda Accord has been very faithful to me. And

1019
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 1: you did you did twenty seven days straight where you

1020
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: didn't come home? Correct what I mean? We tour and

1021
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,760
Speaker 1: but we like we have a bus or a plane,

1022
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, and that's like five days. Yeah, this is

1023
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: hard living and we're like, I'm so tired twenty seven

1024
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: days and like Ramadas, you have a bunch of points

1025
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: now for like yeah, I've been using uh no free ads,

1026
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: I guess. But hotels dot com and so I get

1027
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: a couple of stamps for every time I stay somewhere

1028
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: and then eventually, after tin stamps, get a free one.

1029
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: So that's kind of my point system. Do you notice

1030
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: that some of these mid majors and is this your

1031
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: first year to do this, but yes, do you feel

1032
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: like some of the portal guys that come from bigger

1033
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: schools and they will drop down to a mid major

1034
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: actually makes the mid majors more competitive, especially going into

1035
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: a season like now, because of some of the guys

1036
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: who maybe did not get a good shot or they

1037
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: learned that they did not take full advantage of their

1038
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: opportunity at a bigger school. Absolutely. I I think there's

1039
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: a misconception that the portal is hurting the small and

1040
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: mid majors. Now for those mediocre or below average small

1041
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 1: and mid majors, that they had one particular player average

1042
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: twenty points a game and he decides, you know what,

1043
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,919
Speaker 1: this team isn't good enough. I'm going to a power six.

1044
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: It's hurting those guys the bottom of the mid mayor

1045
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: of mid and small major. But up at the top,

1046
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 1: if you look at you know, some of the schools

1047
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: that for example, have gotten to keep all their players.

1048
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:52,240
Speaker 1: No one's transferred that experience, that continuity of playing together

1049
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: is such a huge advantage, and I think that's why

1050
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: we're seeing more upsets even now than in the past,

1051
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: and I think we'll continue you to see more. And

1052
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: then to your point, you take an Iona for example,

1053
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: it's got Rick Pattino that's able to bring in these

1054
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 1: Power six guys that maybe didn't love their previous destination

1055
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 1: that hey, let's dominate this small conference get to the

1056
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: n c A tournament. UM, I definitely think there's been

1057
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:20,200

Speaker 1: There's some real passion here and maybe not be in

1083
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: the numbers, but just in the overall effort of the

1084
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 1: student body or the town You're you're impressed by. Um.

1085
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: East Tennessee State was really neat, So I went there.

1086
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: They're actually having a down year. They're they're one of

1087
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 1: the programs that were most impacted by COVID. They had

1088
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 1: a thirty win season in We're going to get a

1089
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: great seed and then see a tournament and then didn't

1090
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: get to play that tournament. They're having a down year

1091
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:50,280
Speaker 1: this year. Um, but I gotta meet with their student section.

1092
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: They've got a group called party Bucks and a group

1093
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: called buck Wild. I think that it's basically trying to

1094
00:53:56,200 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 1: increase student engagement. It's based around mental health awareness and

1095
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: you mattering, having a place for someone to go um

1096
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: and have a good time spending time with their fellow classmates.

1097
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: So that was really neat to me to see an

1098
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: organization like that, people going out supporting their athletic team classmates. UM.

1099
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: And I hope things like that are being started at

1100
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 1: other programs. That was a college that I was like, Man,

1101
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: you guys are having a down year this year, but

1102
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: you're still coming out and supporting this way. That was

1103
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: very cool. Who is it that you've seen? And you go, dang,

1104
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: if they were in the Big ten, Big twelve SEC,

1105
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: they'd actually be just competing right now as is May

1106
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: and that that's a tough question. I would maybe say Marshall.

1107
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: So they've got a guy in taving On Kinsey that's

1108
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: absolutely going to be a pro. He can shoot the

1109
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: ball from the perimeter, but is ridiculously athletic as well.

1110
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: D'Antoni is their coach. The D'Antoni is absolutely no offense.

1111
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: They put up eighty nine points in the game that

1112
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: I watched, um because of their scoring ability and ability

1113
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: to get hot from the perimeter, and then they've also

1114
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: got athleticism as well in size. I don't think anyone's

1115
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: wanting to see them in see a tournament or would

1116
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: even want them in their conference. Like you asked in

1117
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: the Big Tent. I mean, the guy knows. I don't

1118
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: even I never heard some of these schools. He's like

1119
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 1: the third string guard coaches. Uncle, he played you played

1120
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 1: ball back in the day. How do you feel about

1121
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 1: because I know what I heard about you playing ball,

1122
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 1: But how how would you define your basketball playing career? Um?

1123
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: I was a shooter and that was about it. Um.

1124
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: So Yeah, if if anyone needs a twenty six year

1125
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: old that's a complete defensive liability but could spread the

1126
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 1: floor a little bit on offense, then uh, I'd love

1127
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 1: to keep playing some college ball. Yeah. I heard you

1128
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 1: could shoot the shoot the eyes out of cat like

1129
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,959
Speaker 1: he was that kind of shooter. That's it's a pretty

1130
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: good compliment from the Parker family over there. Well, listen, man,

1131
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for you. If you guys want to follow

1132
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: him on Twitter? Sharp shot Select? Wait? How what? Sharp? What? Why? That? What?

1133
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 1: What the heck is even that? I just like literay

1134
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: and I don't know. Maybe it's my name Coleman Crawley.

1135
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: I just thought, um, all right, if I and originally

1136
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: when I made that Twitter, it was supposed to be

1137
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,240
Speaker 1: for gambling picks, so sharp shot Select I thought was catching.

1138
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: What did your job say when you're like yo, p's uh,

1139
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go drive watch Southern Rhode Island Cousin University. Yeah.

1140
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: My boss is an incredible man. He's been an incredible mentor.

1141
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: Mark Christen is his name, And I knew I could

1142
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: just be transparent with him because he's always been nothing

1143
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 1: but transparent and honest with me. He was baffled, taken

1144
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: aback that I wanted to do this, but he's always known,

1145
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: um that I've been very passionate about sports, basketball, in

1146
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:42,320
Speaker 1: particular college basketball. So as much as it stunned him,

1147
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: he saw kind of the passion in my voice, in

1148
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: my eyes, and um, he he allowed me to take

1149
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,359
Speaker 1: a couple of vacation weeks to pursue it and see

1150
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: if it was having success. So I really appreciated that.

1151
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: And then if I saw it having enough success that

1152
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: I had to let him know, Hey, I'm hey, I'm quitting.

1153
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: So he was upset to lose me, but I was

1154
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: so grateful for his mentorship and allowing me to pursue

1155
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: it um while keeping my job originally inspiring. Yeah, you

1156
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: can ask me a question, hey, Coleman, So how many

1157
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 1: how many UM pools have you on? Like, how many

1158
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 1: March Madness pools have you won in your lifetime? See

1159
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: that's the thing. I feel like I'm not great in

1160
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: March Madness, and I feel like anyone could be great

1161
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: and much madness. You know, you hear those stories of

1162
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 1: um oh, someone's cousin one because they picked the teams

1163
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: based on color or whatever. So on occasion, I'll have

1164
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: a great year. But March Madness is just so unpredictable,

1165
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: and I feel like that's why we love it so much.

1166
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: You never know what's going to happen. So I haven't

1167
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: won Mini Eddie all right. If he would have said

1168
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 1: I want to see. It's always like Eddie's aunts Maleman

1169
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: away my son wanted last year. I don't know what

1170
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 1: he's doing. And also to like, are you a one

1171
00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: bracket guy or you do multiple brackets? No, I'm a

1172
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: one bracket guy. To be honest, I feel like it's

1173
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: shameful to do more than one. It's like, well, my

1174
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 1: my be bracket. Yes exactly. It's like having a fantasy

1175
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: football team, but you draft all the different players. Nobody cares.

1176
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: I want to hear one of them is gonna work out. Yes,

1177
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 1: And if I do get in more than one bracket,

1178
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: I do the same exact bracket once, keep up with it.

1179
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: And two because I'm not a chump. Basically, Yeah, guys

1180
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 1: are passionate about this one. All right, all right, Coleman Crawley,

1181
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: you guys go on Twitter, sharp shot, select on Instagram.

1182

1185
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:50,240

1186
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: were talent, but it's how they use it. And there's

1187
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people without a whole lot of talent

1188
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,919
Speaker 1: that use it in such a way that they're just undeniable.

1189
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: And you're very talented, very smart guy, but just grind.

1190
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: I like I know, right now we're talking to a guy.

1191
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna he's gonna be five years now, he's gonna

1192
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: be running the thing. This is awesome, alright, Coleman. Good
