1
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: This is a podcast called twenty fives Stuck in Sports,

2
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: and they went a wi So, yeah, it's too bad,

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: but what did you expect. It's a podcast called twenty

4
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: five Whistles, twenty wine win. Hey guys, Me Solo and

5
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: net Kurtz on my left side especially. I was at

6
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: the batting cages yesterday and hitting baseballs too, by the way,

7
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: which I haven't hit baseballs in many years. And so I

8
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: go with a buddy of mine and we get there

9
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: and there's like twenty five ten year olds that showed

10
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: up five minutes before us, and so they have completely

11
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: taken over the cages with the pitching machines, and rightfully,

12
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: so the batting cages aren't really for adult men whatever.

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: There are some softball guys out there sometimes, but mostly yeah,

14
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: it's kids who are playing baseball. And so we get there,

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: so we decided we're gonna get a one of these rooms,

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: one of the areas where you can actually throw batting practice.

17
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: And so it's him and I. We borrowed a bat

18
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: and we got a bucket of balls, and so we're

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: throwing in swinging two things our bodies don't normally do.

20
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: And so yeah, left side of my neck is killing me.

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: My back's a little tweaked. But and I'll say it

22
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: now maybe I won't be so specific, but the All

23
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: Star weekend is in Atlanta, not this weekend, but next weekend,

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: and I will be participating in something where I have

25
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: to hit baseball as far. So that is what I'm

26
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: practicing for. And I guess more than practicing, I'm just

27
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: trying to get to a place where I don't get

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: there and embarrass myself. So it's kind of the goal.

29
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: But we did that yesterday. I'm a little bit sore.

30
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: And again I played rex softball last year. I played

31
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: in the MLB Celebrity Softball Game last year and that

32
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: was fun. Heck, I was MVP. That was awesome, really

33
00:01:54,440 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: really fun night. But having a baseball, like a fast

34
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: pitch baseball. So finally, after we threw a bunch of

35
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: batting practice to each other, we got into a machine

36
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: because I guess the kids left, and we put it

37
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: on sixty miles an hour and just swung away regardless.

38
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm sores. Crap, I'm here, but I'm gonna try not

39
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: to embarrass myself coming up. And now I can give

40
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: you more details soon I'm sure. I don't even think

41
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to say that, but it's in like a

42
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: week and a half, so I really don't think they

43
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: care what I say. But it will be in Atlanta.

44
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: If anybody's listening to this in Atlanta, and it's gonna

45
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: be that weekend, it's actually gonna be the Sunday. I

46
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: can tell you that of All Star weekend, and you

47
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: want to come out, would love to see you, would

48
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: love to meet you, that type of thing. So yeah,

49
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: that's where we are as of right now. I also

50
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: was looking at this least attractive hobbies for men to have,

51
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: and I think the reason that it popped up in

52
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: my feed is because I was probably doing a very

53
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: un attractive hobby for an adult man, which was I

54
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: was in a batting cage when there were kids all around.

55
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: So probably the bad of purpose though, right, But here

56
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: we go, the top fifteen least attractive hobbies two women

57
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: that men do. Number one is comic books, and I

58
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: don't have any comic books. I have friends that have

59
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: comic books. And I don't want to be terribly judgmental

60
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: about any of these, because I'm sure I have some

61
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: of these. I would like five or six, and I

62
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: stopped and thought I would just read them as I

63
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: did this segment and react to them. But women think

64
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: comic books are really nerdy. It's number one at thirty

65
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: three percent here on the list. Think about comic books

66
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: is much like baseball cards, and that may pop up later.

67
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 1: There's some real value if you get a good one,

68
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: you get an old one, you say, like, there's some

69
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: value in that. But also it's like comic books are

70
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: hurting anybody and also nerve. I'll say that because I

71
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: think I am a nerd. Also, nerds end up being

72
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: everybody's bosses in school. Oh you're a nerd. Oh your dork.

73
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: You're by yourself, you're reading your books. Yeah, they end

74
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: up being everybody's bosses. But I hear you comic books

75
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: at number one and number two. Costplay. Now, I watched

76
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: a TikTok video I think it was last night, where

77
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: there's this creator and he goes to these i'll call

78
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: them costplay fairs where all these people are dressed up

79
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: like video game characters. And I've seen them do this

80
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: on a few so it's not like I came across

81
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: this one time. But there was a dude dressed up

82
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: like recket Ralph from the cartoon, and he goes and

83
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: he has this huge tent and he's with this dude

84
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: who's dressed up like reckitt Ralph and the guy's foling

85
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: in character and he says, wreck of Ralph, will you

86
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: switch your costumes with whatever is in the tent? And

87
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: the guy's like, I don't know. I've been record Ralph

88
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: for like the past twelve years. Do I want to switch?

89
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: And the guys like it's up to you. But once

90
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: you switch, you don't get your other costume back, and

91
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: so the guy's like, Okay, let's do it. It's kind

92
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: of a fun video because the guy goes in the

93
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: tent and I don't even know who he came out as.

94
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: It was like some dog and he had a spot

95
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: over his eye and he was in it looked like

96
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: a Ghostbuster's uniform. I didn't know the cartoon, but I

97
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: thought the content was really fun. And you know, I'm

98
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: not gonna hate on anybody going to any costplay stuff

99
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: because if I were a Jersey to a game like

100
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: a little Bit That's gossplaying, it's like a tiny fraction

101
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: number three debating. Yah, I don't know a single person

102
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: who would say their hobby is debating. I know people

103
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: who are challenging and argumentative. I think I'm one of them,

104
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: and I kind of do it on the air, But

105
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: debating as a hobby, I don't know. Debating as a hobby,

106
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone that does that. At number three,

107
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: I did see last night my wife and I went

108
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: to dinner and we were driving by the sign that

109
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 1: said trivia every Thursday night at Quirky's at like seven

110
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: thirty pm. And Corky's is a barbecue chain, and I

111
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: told my wife. I was like, I'll go if you'll go,

112
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: and I'd probably go anyway, but she was like, no,

113
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: think you don't think I don't want to do trivia night.

114
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: So I don't know if trivia pops up on this,

115
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: but trivia night and debating, I'm gonna put those in

116
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: the same kind of category. I love trivia and not

117
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: to super flex on everybody, but in seventh grade, I

118
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: was the captain of the twelfth grade quiz Bowl team.

119
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: That's right. And again, I know trivia and debating are

120
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: not the same thing, but I think for this they

121
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: kind of are. I think they fit in that same category.

122
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: At least I'm gonna put them in that category. But

123
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: it was like the one thing in my life that

124
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: I was good at where I naturally would just show

125
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: up and people knew that guy was good at that

126
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: because I was a seventh grader. I was twelve years

127
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: old competing against seventeen year olds. And when I was

128
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: in seventh grade, it wasn't like I was dominating seventeen

129
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: year olds, but I can mix it up. I was

130
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: like a rookie batting about two sixty five. His rookie

131
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: year two sixty five, two seventy hit about twenty four

132
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: home runs. Enough to where you go, man, respect and

133
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: bright future? And boy was at a bright future. I

134
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: was awesome at quiz bole. But that's the only thing

135
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: in my life really that I've been able to do

136
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: and do so well that my reputation preceded me. And

137
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: I would show up to quiz Bowl tournaments and people

138
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: would be like, Oh, that's the kid. That's pretty cool.

139
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: Thinking back, yeah, that's nerdy too, though. Next up is

140
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: drinking fourth on the list twenty nine percent. I don't

141
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: drink at all, but it does seem fun. And I've

142
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: said this many times that it sure does seem fun

143
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: that all my friends can just relax and have a drink.

144
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying that, and then I'm gonna start

145
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: drinking tomorrow. I don't think at this point I'll ever drink,

146
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: mostly because now it's like I got a really long

147
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: streak of never having a drink, but drinking at number

148
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: four as part of a hobby. Number five MTG. Now

149
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: this is where I stopped reading the list because I

150
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: wanted to do that a live and get my reaction.

151
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what MTG is, so I'm gonna type

152
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: it into Google. What is MTG as a hobby? Confused

153
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: as what that means? Here we go. EMPTG stands for

154
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: Magic the Gathering, got it, which is the collectible trading

155
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: card game. As a hobby, it can mean a few

156
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: different things depending on how someone is into it. It's

157
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: a strategy card game where players build decks and battle

158
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: each other using spells, creatures, and magical abilities. It was

159
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: created in nineteen ninety three. It was the first ever

160
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: trading card game, and it's still wildly popular. It has

161
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: fantasy themes think wizards, dragons, and elves. MTG Magic the Gathering,

162
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: some rare magic cards are worth thousands of dollars. One

163
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: black Lotus card, the Holy Grail of MTG, sold for

164
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: over five hundred thousand dollars. That's keep people out of trouble.

165
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: I got no problem with it. Nerdy, yeah, but again,

166
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm pro nerd, so when I say something's nerdy, that's okay.

167
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: We're a nerd. But yeah, nerdiest crap two, three, four five.

168
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: We're at number six on the list where twenty seven

169
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: percent of women say this is the least attractive. It's anime.

170
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: There are certain things that I realized are probably really good.

171
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: I've just never gotten into them because I don't have

172
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: the interest. But I also respect the fact that they're

173
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: probably really good based on it's worldwide popularity. I would

174
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: like to walk through some of them. Soccer. Everybody loves

175
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: soccer that has had soccer exposure from an early age.

176
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: It is the biggest sport in the world, right not

177
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: for me. Didn't play growing up. I grew up in

178
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: rural Arkansas. We didn't have soccer. We didn't have a

179
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: soccer team. We had a football team, we had a

180
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: basketball team, we had a baseball team, but we did

181
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: not have our home baseball field we had to go

182
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: play our home games at a school called Jesseville's Field,

183
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: and they made fun of us for it because we

184
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: were too poor to have our own field. But we

185
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: did have those three sports. We did have a track team,

186
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: except we did not have a track and mostly it

187
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: was off season football and coach Gandalf made us run track.

188
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: And if we didn't run on the track team, we

189
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: did play baseball. We did have to do district because

190
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: baseball is usually over by district. We didn't have track team,

191
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: so we didn't have soccer for sure, But I do

192
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: understand that soccer is amazing, even though to me it

193
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: is not amazing. Another one of those the Sopranos. Never

194
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: seen an episode. I know how it ends, but I've

195
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: never seen an episode. But you know what, it's probably

196
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: awesome if you start from the beginning and watch it.

197
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure that back then and probably even today, it

198
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: is awesome. So many people love it that I trust

199
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: and swear by the same thing with Godfather, similar as

200
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: vib right, that it's probably awesome, and I just don't

201
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: understand it. And I'm going to put anime in that

202
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: category wildly popular. I'd put it in the category with

203
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: comic books and cosplay. Mostly these women are finding nerds unattractive,

204
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: which kind of sucks because I'll say it again, nerds

205
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: end up being the boss. But anime comes in at

206
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: number six on the list. Dragon Ball is the only

207
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: anime that I can think of. I'm sure there's more.

208
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: Is Power Rangers anime? No that's not that's humans. Is

209
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: there a Power Rangers anime? Again? If I go to

210
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: Google and I say, what are the most popular anime

211
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: series of all time? Let's learn something together. Here, here

212
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: we go, dragon Ball, dragon Ball Z at number one.

213
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: They say that's the gateway anime for millions. I'm gonna

214
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: say this wrong, guy, So if you're an anime freak,

215
00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: respect But to sorry Naruto, it's the Coming of Age

216
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: Ninja Saga number three one piece, it's a pirate adventure

217
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: still going strong with over one thousand episodes. Oh, Pokemon

218
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: was the one. That's the one that I probably should

219
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: have known. Yeah, I know what that is. And then

220
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: number five Attack on Titan. So those are the biggest

221
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: anime of all time or animes or anime show. However

222
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: you say that number seven makeup, I don't know what

223
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: that means. As a hobby that would make up be

224
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: a hobby unless you were dressing like a woman. But

225
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 1: that's is I don't know if that's a hobby, I

226
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: don't know. I want to get that one. Next up

227
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: is crypto. Totally understand how women could be annoyed with

228
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: crypto bros. By the way, I don't know anybody that's

229
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: made me real money off crypto, like I've made some

230
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: money off crypto, except I've never cashed it out. And

231
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: the only reason I made money off crypto was six

232
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: years ago. I put a couple thousand dollars in because

233
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: it was the thing, and I forgot about it, and

234
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: I put it in an account and I just forgot

235
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: And then I opened it up a year and a

236
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: half or so ago and it had times six or seven.

237
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: But if I were if I had been involved in

238
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: it all time, I would have sold it at some point.

239
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: So I know nothing about crypto except what I've learned

240
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: in the past few years, and I've been very fortunate

241
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: that I bought it and forgot it. Next step of cigars,

242
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: Guys that are obsessed with cigars smoking anything just seems

243
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: gross to me, and no judgment on the moral part

244
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: of smoking anything, I really have. I don't care what

245
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: you do in your own time, lungch you're not hurting

246
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: animals or kids, and you're generally nice to other people.

247
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: All good smoking stuff gross and with a cigar. I

248
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: could be wrong here. I've never smoked a cigar. I

249
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: never smoked a cigarette. I've never smoked anything. But you

250
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: don't like inhale, right, don't you just go? Is that

251
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: what it is? My cigar culture is very weak. Right

252
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: next up clubbing. So what I'd say to this is,

253
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: I think he's number eleven. I think if you're over

254
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: like twenty six and you're still going to the club,

255
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: there's a mark of like twenty four. Anything past that,

256
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: you start to go back down the mountain of coolness.

257
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: But I then going to the club's cool. Twenty Some

258
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: clubs can't get in unto twenty one, probably most, but

259
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four still cool.

260
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: Twenty five is fine, But I'm saying it then stops

261
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: going climbing up the mountain to that yodler homey you

262
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: know it is coming back down the other side of

263
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: the mountain. So I would say clubbing at twenty five

264
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: starts to get less cool twenty six, more so less

265
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: twenty seven. If you're like thirty three and you're in

266
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: the club, I get why women are not attracted to that.

267
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: Weed is next, and I think that's probably if that

268
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: is your identity. There are people that we know that

269
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: make weed a massive part of their identity. That's what

270
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: they're known for. So I would say weed funko makes

271
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: the list. I don't know what that is. I have

272
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: funko pops. I have a few of them. I have

273
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: six behind me right now. Three signed by Chris Stapleton,

274
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: three signed by Dolly Parton, and they were both very

275
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: nice to sign them because I use them to auction

276
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: off or give as part of any sort of charity

277
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: initiative that I do. Not any but some. But I

278
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: bought them on eBay, the Christapleton or the Dolly Parton,

279
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: and then I just went to them more like hey,

280
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: will you sign this, and blindly they were like yeah, sure.

281
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: So I get the funkos. I have a Dan Marino

282
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: funko pop. But is that a culture? Is funko a culture?

283
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: If so? I don't know want in funko culture. I

284
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: just know people who have the occasional funko pop. I've

285
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: actually got a couple of myself. Two. There are four

286
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: left arguing online at twelve point three percent. My assumption

287
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: is that means people that are weirdos and freakos on

288
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: Reddit and just get on and troll people. Porn. Yeah.

289
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: The thing about porn as a least attractive hobby is

290
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: most dudes who are into it don't share their into it,

291
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: which I think is why it's not higher on the list.

292
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: I think it'd be number one if more dudes are like, yeah,

293
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, this is how much I'm into it.

294
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: But because most dudes are kind of ashamed of it,

295
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: it's way down the list. Gambling and I'm not sure

296
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: what number one on Let's see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,

297
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: and number fifteen. It's gambling, and again I think this

298
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: is one two that for the most part, people who

299
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: gamble a lot don't often share how much they actually gamble.

300
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: I feel like I have a very healthy relationship with it.

301
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: You know. One of the major sponsors over the past

302
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: couple of years of twenty five Whistles has been DraftKings,

303
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: and I haven't. I know that if I get too

304
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: wrapped up in it, I will become completely consumed with it,

305
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: just like anything else, not even that it's just gambling.

306
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: But I feel like I have a fun relationship with gambling.

307
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: That I don't bet anything that I know I can't lose.

308
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I like losing. It also doesn't mean

309
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, well said, how fun was that? Yeah, you

310
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: can still get pissed, but it never ruins my day.

311
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: And I think at a time I can tell you

312
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: back in the day for me two thousand three the

313
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, I played so much poker, like

314
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: hold Them and this is right in the boom as well.

315
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: I was reading books. I was so consumed with poker.

316
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: Now poker can be anything else that I often get

317
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: myself into. I was so consumed with poker that if

318
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't reading a book on how to figure out

319
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: the pod odds, or if I wasn't reading a book

320
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: on watching tells on other players or playing against I

321
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: was reading books on the biography of Doyle Brunson. You know.

322
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: So I was really obsessed. And I was living in Austin,

323
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: Texas at the time, and there were these home games,

324
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: and so you would go and at the front door

325
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: you would buy your chips. They'd give you chips, and

326
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: it was mostly tournament play. They weren't cash games. I

327
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: rarely played in any cash games. I liked tournament play

328
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: because everybody started off equal on Once you were out,

329
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: you were out. It wasn't just to make a show

330
00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: up with a bunch of money and I would lose

331
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of money. Or if you played with in

332
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: cash games, why I don't like them for the most

333
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: part is people with more cash can just bully other people.

334
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: And if you're a good enough player, that doesn't matter.

335
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 1: But I wasn't a good enough player. I was a

336
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: pretty good player. I wasn't a good enough player. So

337
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: I liked tournament play. Everybody was equal. There'd be twenty

338
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: four people, eighteen people. We'd go in. We'd give them

339
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: two hundred fifty bucks or something, and then we'd play

340
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: our tournament. They give you a little deal. And sometimes

341
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: down in the basement, sometimes you're playing like in a

342
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: I really wasn't. There weren't many basements in Texas. In

343
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: different parts of the house. You'd be playing in different

344
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: rooms and So there were a couple instances where we

345
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: were playing in a basement or like a shed area,

346
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: but people would be in all these different rooms and

347
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: I probably played nine to twelve of those. Go to

348
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: somebody's house. You never know the person, it's always you're

349
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 1: in this small group. So the word got around, you know,

350
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: next Tuesday, we're going to be at this house. The

351
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: next Wednesday after that that will be at this house.

352
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: And it was almost never. I think only once or

353
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: twice I ever played the same house twice because people

354
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: didn't want to get busted for doing it. And why

355
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: it was illegal is because the house took a cut.

356
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: Just like Vegas, the house took a cut, and that's

357
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 1: what made it illegal. You can play poker with your

358
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: buddies and gamble if the house isn't taken a cut.

359
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: So we'd play, and I played a bunch and I

360
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: probably broke even maybe we came ahead a little bit.

361
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: I didn't keep a spreadsheet really, but I remember there

362
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: was a game I was going to one night. I

363
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: ended up not going and that game got robbed and

364
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: they made everybody take up all their clothes, so I

365
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: think everybody's butt naked and they robbed the place. Nobody

366
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: got shot. But that's when I was like, I'm not

367
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: doing house games anymore. So I started flying to Las Vegas,

368
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: and that was Lunchbox and I on a Southwest flight

369
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: about two times a month, and we'd finished the show

370
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: on a Friday morning and we'd fly to Vegas and

371
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: since we got that time back flying over for the

372
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: most part, we'd get there around two PM. I'd play

373
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: poker until Sunday mid afternoon, sleep on the plane, fly

374
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: back home, go back to work on Monday. And I

375
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: did Okay, I don't think I lost a whole bunch tour.

376
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: I was like, ah, I also don't think I won

377
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: a whole bunch. I did win an entire tournament one

378
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: time for tens of thousands of dollars, like won the

379
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: whole freaking thing, which, by the way, if you're a

380
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: poker player, you know the goal is always to win

381
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: the tournament, but it's really just to get in the

382
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: money and go as far as you can, because you

383
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: do need some very fortunate things to happen, even if

384
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: you're playing awesome. But that's what happened. I played a

385
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: whole tournament Treasure Island, which they may have torn that

386
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: because you know down now it's one of the big

387
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: boat in front of it. Yeah, I'm not sure, but

388
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 1: I remember Lunchblocks coming over and it was like noon

389
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: when I started, and him being there at like ten

390
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: thirty pm because he was going into the club, and

391
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: then him at the end of the night at like

392
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: four am coming out and I'm still playing. I was

393
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: down to like three people. I won the whole freaking thing.

394
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: It was awesome, but I got a little too obsessed

395
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: with poker. It wasn't so much the gambling part of it.

396
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: It was the competition part of it. And I will

397
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: bet on college football. Feel like I'm much better college football,

398
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: but I never bet so much that it will absolutely

399
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: ruin my day. Now sports will run my day. If

400
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: Arkansas loses a game they're supposed to win, it will

401
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: for sure ruin my day. That sucks. But yeah, gambling

402
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: is way down. But I'm gonna say for the same

403
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 1: reason that poorn is way down. I would imagine that

404
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: most dudes that are gambling aren't telling their ladies how

405
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: much they're actually gambling, or not even their ladies, but

406
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: the lady they may be dating a little bit, they're

407
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: not they're not actually sharing how much they're dating, or

408
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: I think women would be a lot more disgusted with them.

409
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: But also women can gamble to it. I'm just going

410
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: from this and the last one is Manosphere. I don't

411
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: know what that is, so I'm gonna have to google that.

412
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: What is manosphere? As far as a hobby is concerned?

413
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: All right? Google says the Manisphere isn't a hobby in

414
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: the traditional sense, like woodworking or magic the gathering. It's

415
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: more of a loose network of online communities focused on

416
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: men's issues, masculinity, and gender dynamics. That said, some people

417
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: treat it like a hobby and how deeply they engage. Oh,

418
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: it just like Andrew Tate, like I'll teach you how

419
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: to be a real man. I'll teach you how to

420
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: be an alpha. Those dudes are so lame. People treat

421
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: this and by this videos, reading forums, joining podcasts, debating

422
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: topics regularly like a religion. That's funny. I would have

423
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: never known that's what the manisphere is. People spend hours

424
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: consuming and discussing Manisphere content. They follow thought leaders Andrew Tate,

425
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: Jordan Peterson, et cetera. Some see it as part of

426
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: a self improvement lifestyle. Others engage in it for entertainment, debate,

427
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: or community subgenres. Red Pill focuses on power dynamics and

428
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: dating mgtow men going their own way, rejecting romantic relationships entirely,

429
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 1: PUA or PUA pickup artist dating strategies, and then men's

430
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: self help, confidence, money lifting, life skills. See, I have

431
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: no problem if it's about health and wellness. It's just

432
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: this is me speaking here, not me reading from Google.

433
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: It's just some of these are so toxic and a

434
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: lot of these guys that try to prove how masculine

435
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: they are, and they want to prove to you how

436
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: they can get any woman. They're actually gay, and this

437
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: is how they're making up for it or trying to

438
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: prove they're not. And there's so much misogyny in this.

439
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: It's like the And I'm not somebody who's gonna scream

440
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: toxic masculinity all the time, but there is a such thing,

441
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: and a lot of that happens here. A lot of

442
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories too. So I didn't know what this was,

443
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: but I think I'm kind of passionate about it now.

444
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: It is important to separate the constructive parts like self

445
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: improvement from the darker corners. So as a hobby, I

446
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: guess it's just dudes trying to be more dude. Like dude.

447
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: That's wild. That's called manisphear. That's a pretty lame name

448
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: for something. But the whole point is not to be lame, right,

449
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: manis fhear? That's funny. I'm gonna answer this poll here.

450
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: I had this sent to me in basketball. Who is

451
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: the greatest NBA player of all time? My answer is

452
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 1: Lebron James. Even though I saw Michael Jordan. Why Lebron

453
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: and I had no time to go through and put

454
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: answers on this. I'm going to answer them off just

455
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: whatever comes to mind. I think people don't credit longevity,

456
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: and I don't think it should only be credited by itself,

457
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: But people don't credit longevity. Lebron's like eighty three. Now

458
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: I was forty. But he has played for so long

459
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: at such a high level. I think he was second

460
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: team All NBA this last season, second team or third

461
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: team at forty years old. Also, he can play point,

462
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: he can also play the five. Also, his competition's better. Now,

463
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: I'm not somebody who's gonna say You're so wrong if

464
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: you pick Michael Jordan. Because I understand most people feel

465
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: that way. I do think if I were getting to

466
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: draft one player of all time, I would go Lebron first,

467
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: because again, he can play all positions, he plays point go,

468
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: he is so large, he's Magic size, but more versatile

469
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: than Magic was. So I'm gonna go Lebron first. Michael

470
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: Jordan's second. I know Kobe is the answer for three,

471
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: but I may go Steph at three, Kobe at four,

472
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: Kareem at five. A lot of freaking Lakers there. Number two. Oh,

473
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: that's interesting. Steph Curry or Magic Johnson, who's the better

474
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: point guard? I'm gonna go Steph because I think Magic

475
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 1: wasn't really a traditional point guard. He did a lot

476
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: of great, awesome point guard things, and he was so

477
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: large as a point guard, which made it really hard

478
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: to put another point guard on him guarding him because

479
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: he can then just post him up. But I'm gonna

480
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: go Steph. I've watched more Steph. I think that's probably

481
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: the real reason I think recency biased because Steph is

482
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: still playing right now. Magic changed the game, for sure,

483
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: but Steph. Steph completely changed the NBA everybody's upset at

484
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: the NBA because everybody shoots threes all the time. That's

485
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: that's that's Steph. If you could build a team around

486
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: one NBA player today, who are you picking? Great question?

487
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: Probably Yannis, mmmm, Jokic, one of those two, one of

488
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: those non Americans. They're young enough, you're gonna get another

489
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,959
Speaker 1: decade out of them, probably, and they're so dominant. I'm

490
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: probably gonna go Yokicic, No, I don't know, Okay, I'll

491
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: go Yokich then Yannis in that order. Best dunker in

492
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: NBA history. This is my last basketball one. A friend

493
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: sent me these and there's four in four different categories,

494
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna read these here. I'm on vacation. There's

495
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: no content coming out right now. I'm gonna be honest

496
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: with you. I sat down to do this podcast because

497
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: as I was looking through the podcast that I was

498
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: listening to that I always listen to, because I definitely

499
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: have a series in a formula of what I listened

500
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: to on what days, if it's Bill Simmons or Rosillo

501
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: or mostly sports or pardon my take, like I know

502
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: what days they come out, or macro dosing like I

503
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: love those podcasts. I know what days they come out,

504
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: and now that it's the fourth July week and everybody's

505
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: like often to the best of it's really thrown me

506
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: for a So I came down here to the microphone

507
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: and I was just gonna do that one segment and

508
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: maybe attach it to something in a show next week.

509
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: But as I was doing it, I started to realize,

510
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: maybe people are listening to this who are also upset

511
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: they're not getting new content. So I'll just go ahead

512
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: and do an episode here. I don't know if it's

513
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: gonna be an hour. I think we're thirty minutes in now,

514
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: but I'll answer these questions foreign football. Who is the

515
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: greatest NFL quarterback of all time? The answer has to

516
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: be Tom Brady, I feel because of the rings, so

517
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: I think that's the answer. And I think that's a

518
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: bit unfair to say, because I didn't do that with

519
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan Lebron, so it's a bit hypocritical. But I'm

520
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: still gonna say Tom Brady. If you were to say,

521
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: in a vacuum, you pick a single quarterback and they're

522
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: your quarterback, I'm picking Peyton Manny. But Tom Brady is

523
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback of all time. Tom Brady won with

524
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: a different set of characters, like he made people great

525
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: and I think it was nineteen ninety one Michael Jordan

526
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: won his first title and it wasn't no Scottie Pippen

527
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: got there, Like I don't think he ever won a

528
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: title without Pippin where Brady did win a championship without

529
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: insert whomever. But again, it's hypocritical me to say that.

530
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm gonna go. I'll go Brady the best

531
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: college football program of all time. Alabama sucks. It sucks

532
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: being an Arkansas fan right now. Not that it's been

533
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: the greatest Easter basket ever because we don't win. I've

534
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: never seen a football national championship. I've seen us get

535
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: close ninety nine. Had do we not fumbled, we would

536
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: have beat Tennessee, been undefeated going into the last game

537
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: of the year, won that we'd have been playing for

538
00:30:54,920 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: national championship. Yeah, but I've not seen a whole lot

539
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: of awesome Arkansas seasons. When Bobby Petrino was our head coach,

540
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: we had a few really really great seasons in a row,

541
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: and that was the greatest time to be an Arkansas fan.

542
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: And it was amazing and then the whole motorcycle wreck.

543
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: So it's tough for me to pick a different program,

544
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: especially one that's close in proximity, especially one that has

545
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: the same letter A, especially one that is close to

546
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: being the same color. But Alabama's Bear Bryant is an

547
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: Arkansas native born and raised in Arkansas. Gotta love that.

548
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go Alabama because being from the South,

549
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: they are the greatest traditional southern college wall powerhouse. And

550
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: I think probably you have to look like Michigan these

551
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: other schools, But I'm going to go with Alabama as

552
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: the greatest college football program of all time. And I

553
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: think a lot of that is geography bias, or at

554
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: least some of it. Who's the greatest running back ever? Man?

555
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: The Barry Sanders stuff is so legit, but he never

556
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: played on a winning team and he was having to survive.

557
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: It was like he was swimming to save his life

558
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: every time he got the ball. I wonder how good

559
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: he would have been because I didn't watch him play

560
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma State. Think about that, him and Thurman Thomas

561
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: on the same team. I didn't get to watch him

562
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: play with like a functioning offensive line. Also, I was young.

563
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: Even when he was awesome, all I got to watch

564
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: him do was scatter and try to get yards. I

565
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: wonder how good he would have been if he could

566
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: just run pretty much downhill, or at least kind of downhill,

567
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: and not left right, left, right, left, right, left right,

568
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: now go forward. So I'll probably go Barry Sanders, but

569
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: I think Ladanian Tomlinson's in the mix. I'm not gonna

570
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: put Emmett Smith in, although statistically he does have a

571
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: lot of the records. But man, I think that was

572
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: just a great team with a rate offensive line. But

573
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: it's hard you're comparing decades. But I'll go Barry Sanders

574
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: and LT. By the way, I have the right to

575
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: change my mind in any of this because I don't

576
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: even read these questions until I pulled this up. Finally,

577
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: in football, if you had to pick one NFL quarterback

578
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: to win a game today, who is it? It's Patrick Mahomes,

579
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. It's possibly the easiest question. It's

580
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Although I did just watch sped up the

581
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game between Mahomes and Brady when Brady ends

582
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: up beating Mahomes and Mahomes scores a touchdown with like

583
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: I don't know a minute left, and Brady ends up

584
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: driving down and it's pretty awesome to watch those two

585
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: guys go out it. But yeah, so it's easily mahomes

586
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: now all right for baseball? And then four pop culture.

587
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: Best hitter in Major League Baseball history. I'm going to

588
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: go with Tony Gwinn only because the hitters that I

589
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: like the most like Tony Gwinn the most. He's my

590
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: favorite hitter's favorite hitter. And I think he was the

591
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: last guy to really give four hundred a look. He

592
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: didn't hit it, but was really the last guy to

593
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: give four hundred the foreigner batting it, which, by the way,

594
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: hadn't been done and still hasn't been done since Ted

595
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: Williams did it way back in the day. And I

596
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: think Ted Williams, And again I'm going for memory, no

597
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: research here. I'm pretty certain Ted Williams could have set

598
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: out the last game and had four hundred, but he

599
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: decided to go it bad anyway. So I'm gonna go

600
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: Tony Gwinn as the greatest hitter of all time. Should

601
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: steroid era players be allowed in the Hall of Fame? Yes,

602
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: because you've allowed some, but you're going to not allow others.

603
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: For me, I think that's probably the most problematic thing

604
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: about not allowing something. There are some Hall of Famers

605
00:34:51,480 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: from that Maguire, Sosa, Barry Bonds era, Clemens. Like you're

606
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: talking about pitchers, we're using them as well. And when

607
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: I say steroids, I'm talking about performance enhancing drugs, not

608
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: just drugs that make you look jacked, but drugs that

609
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 1: allow you to heal faster from an injury. Right, any

610
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: of that's performing or a performance enhancing So I think

611
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: players should be compared against other players. Also, you've let

612
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: players in that were on steroids, probably without even knowing

613
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 1: they were on steroids. So unless you did a steroid

614
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: check on every player, I think players should be compared

615
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: to the other players they played against. And does that

616
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: suck for the players that didn't do steroids, Yeah for sure.

617
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: But do I think they should be allowed in the

618
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame? Yeah? I do. If you had to

619
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: pick one DH for a game, Ortiz, Bonds, a Rod

620
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: or somewhere else or someone else, I think Barry Bonds

621
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: is the most dominant player I've ever seen in a sport. Now,

622
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: I think Otani's probably creeping up now. Otani threw one

623
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: hundred and two. The other day he pitched two innings.

624
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: I think he do three pitches over one hundred miles

625
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: an hour. So Otani is doing what we've never seen before.

626
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,479
Speaker 1: I don't think Otani is quite the hitter of Barry

627
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: Bonds is because Barry Barry Bonds, to me, he is

628
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: the greatest hitter of all time. As far as hitting

629
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: home runs with average, I think Tony wins the greatest

630
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: hitter of all time because you just didn't strike him

631
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: out and his average was way up there. But if

632
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: we're also saying power slugging bass hits, walks, they walked

633
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: Bonds as much as they threw to him. But I

634
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: think Otani could end up taking over Bonds. I do

635
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: think Bonds is the most dominant player I've ever seen

636
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,479
Speaker 1: in his sports. I think Bonds, and I've said it before,

637
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: it was controversial, nobody agreed with me, but I think

638
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: Bonds was a better baseball player than Michael Jordan was

639
00:36:53,960 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: a basketball player. Boom Final Baseball one. What's the most

640
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: exciting World series you remember watching? That's easy is twenty

641
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: sixteen Chicago Cubs. Cubs fan my whole life, Arkansas, Keith

642
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: dihired Cubs fan. I was a Cubs fan from eight

643
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: years old, and I used to watch every game. I

644
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: think one year I watched like one hundred and fifty

645
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: three of one hundred and sixty two games. I never

646
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: won all one sixty two. I don't think they ever

647
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: showed all one sixty two, even though WGN did show most,

648
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: if not all, and they had a bunch of games

649
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: in the day. They used to not have night games

650
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 1: at Wrigley Field, which was crazy. They didn't have lights

651
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: there like in my lifetime. They didn't have lights at

652
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: Wrigley And I remember the game that the first ever

653
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: night game. I remember watching it. I remember Steve Young singing,

654
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: Steve Young the announcer, singing like yeah, like a tuxedo on.

655
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: He was singing on WGN because it was a night game.

656
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: It was like this, like the freaking Grammys. But I'm

657
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: a Cubs fan my whole life, right from the days

658
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: of Damon Barry Hill, Joe g' already catching Mark Grace

659
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: at first, Ryan Sandberg is second, John Dunstan a short stop,

660
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: I mean, third baseman. Go all the way back to

661
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: Vance Law in the outfield Dawson and right. I mean,

662
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: you could do pal Merrow and left if you want,

663
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: or you could do even like the center fielder. When

664
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: they had the Rookie of the Year and the second

665
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: place to Rookie of the Year, which was Jome Walton,

666
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: Dwight Smith, all the guys from ZBRONO. My favorite player

667
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: of was Mark Grace. So all that said, I was

668
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: very invested in the Cubs. And twenty sixteen went to

669
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: the World Series and I went to Game two and

670
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: watched the Cubs loose to Cleveland, and when it was

671
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 1: Game seven, and again you don't know a Game seven

672
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: is going to happen. But the CMAS had invited me

673
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: to present for the first time, and I believe that

674
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: was on CBS. I maybe get him my networks wrong,

675
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: but I don't think I am no, maybe it was ABC.

676
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, changed so that doesn't matter the network.

677
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: But the CMAS had finally asked me to be a

678
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: part of their they're broadcast, to become present an award.

679
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: And for me, you know, I'd been in town four

680
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: years and my television curb really hadn't started to the

681
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: point where it got and so I was super honored,

682
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: and I was like, for sure, it was a big

683
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: deal for me to get on the CMAS and to

684
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: go up on national television and present an award. And

685
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: they asked me like weeks and weeks out and I

686
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: had to a few days before the show say I'm

687
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: really sorry, I am not going to be able to

688
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: be there, and they were like why. I was like,

689
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: because the Cubs are in the World Series Game seven,

690
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: and my whole life I've been Chicago Cubs fan. I'm

691
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: not going to miss it. And people looked at me

692
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: like I had two heads, but I was not going

693
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: to miss it. Like there were people just take a

694
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: half step back. The Cubs hadn't won a World Series

695
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: since nineteen oh eight. Before that that, I've been to

696
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: a World Series since nineteen forty five, Right, So you're

697
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 1: talking about history history that there were people who lived

698
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: an entire life and live to be old and died

699
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: and never saw the Cubs win a World Series or

700
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: heck even go if you were born in forty six

701
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: but you had died before sixteen, you never even got

702
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: to see him being a World Series. So I felt

703
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: like as a real fan, for me, that was the

704
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: most important thing to do was to watch that game

705
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: and then the rain delay hit and then the Cubs won.

706
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 1: It was awesome. It was awesome. So for me, that's

707
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 1: the greatest World Series ever because that one was so

708
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: personal to me. But what I really hope too, is

709
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: that I don't end up being that Cubs fan that

710
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 1: never got to see a championship with Arkansas football because

711
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: I don't feel like now we have the ability to

712
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: win a national championship. I don't feel like from athletic

713
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: director down, I don't feel like we're there because we

714
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: don't have money pouring in. That sucks. All right, Four

715
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: final questions here. These are pop culture debate style questions.

716
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: Here we go, what's the best sports video game athlete ever? Oh, okay,

717
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: this video game ever? But athlete man Bo Jackson and

718
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: Christian Okoye were pretty tough and techmobile back in the day,

719
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: and now I never actually had tech Mobile. Scotty, my

720
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: neighbor had a Nintendo. We couldn't afford a Nintendo, but

721
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: he had a Nintendo, and so I'll try to go

722
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: to over to his house and play Techmobile, or I

723
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: would get on his Commodore sixty four and play Yahoo Chess.

724
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: But if you could get the Raiders with Bo Jackson

725
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 1: or the Chiefs with Christian Okoye, pretty tough to stop.

726
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson was pretty strong and punch out as well.

727
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: Shaq An NBA Jam pretty tough, but Shaq was on

728
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: Orlando if I'm correct again, I just opened these questions,

729
00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: so I could be wrong. I think it was maybe

730
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 1: Shack and Penny. I don't know. Next up, most likable

731
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:11,760
Speaker 1: athlete of all time three questions left. Probably Steph, especially

732
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: in the era of when we know about people because

733
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: of their social media and because there are phones everywhere.

734
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: I think there were very likable athletes back in the

735
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: day because we didn't know enough about them except for

736
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: what the magazines of the newspapers or the television shows like.

737
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: I think the Bash Brothers were super cool. As a kid,

738
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: Jose can say, call mart maguire. I didn't like the A's,

739
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: but I thought they were cool because I could hit

740
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 1: home runs, they had gigantic arms. They're very likable because

741
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: you only saw what they wanted you to see. But

742
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: in the age of knowing about an athlete, I think

743
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be Steph. If you don't like Steph,

744
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: you just don't like yourself as a person. Now you

745
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: cannot like what he's done to the NBA because it's

746
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: all threes all the time. But that's not like a

747
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: Steph problem. Like Steph seems like the nice I never

748
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: met Steph, but step seems like the nicest guy. So

749
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to go Steph Curry most annoying fan base

750
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: in sports. I actually just did this on the episode

751
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: last week where I have at number one Kentucky basketball. Yeah,

752
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: so I'll do that. And then finally, if you could

753
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,240
Speaker 1: bring one athlete back in their prime to play today,

754
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: who is it. I think it's probably And again this

755
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 1: could be a super recency bias because I just talked

756
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: about him. I remember Bo Jackson playing as a kid.

757
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: I remember the whole Bow Knows and Bo Didley the

758
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: guitar player, and Bo knows this, Bo knows that. And

759
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: there's the card where in the poster where Bo has

760
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: on shoulder pads and he has the bat over his

761
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: shoulders at the same time, and Bo Jackson was in

762
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: the home run derby Major League Baseball, which is super cool,

763
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:57,439
Speaker 1: like he was that dude, and he was dominant at

764
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: two sports baseball, And there's a really cool video of him.

765
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: I think bo Jackson's like coaching with the White Sox

766
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: and there's another player and his son, and bo Jackson

767
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, it was pretty good back in the day,

768
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: and the kid has no idea because the kid's like

769
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: ten years old. It's a cool video on TikTok. But

770
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: bo Jackson was so dominant, and I believe they were

771
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: playing the Bengals when he blew his hip out and

772
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: then he was never the same after that. I would

773
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: love to see Bo Jackson back in his prime uninjured,

774
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: because I think he's probably one of the greatest athletes ever.

775
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: But again that's a lot of me talking from what

776
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: I've been able to see in my life. I think

777
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: if you were to asked somebody who was like sixty,

778
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 1: they might say Mickey Mantle because he was so freaking

779
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 1: dominant at playing baseball. Now he didn't play both sports,

780
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: and I think Deon Sanders is another example of somebody.

781
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: But I think Dion was way ahead of his time.

782
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: I think there are other guys like Dion now they're

783
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: extremely athletic that could probably it's tough to say play

784
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: two sports, but if they would have focused on that,

785
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: probably I mean not that Dion wasn't like the one

786
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: percent of professional athletes, but like Bo Jackson was different

787
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: because he was that fast, but he was so much

788
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: bigger and thicker and stronger, yet he was still running

789
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 1: four to two. There are reports of a four to

790
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,760
Speaker 1: bo Jackson, and again that's all handheld timer, no laser timers,

791
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: So I'm probably gonna go bo Jackson on that, and

792
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: that's it. I was watching this video, though, I'll end

793
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: on this of all of these either police officers or

794
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: people in the military who were getting tased, because you

795
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: can't officially have a taser if you don't know what

796
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: one feels like. And so it's just one person after another,

797
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: and a lot of them they're in there fatigue, They're

798
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: in there a ppleaching a form and two people are

799
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 1: holding them, one on each side, and it's like fifteen

800
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 1: to these in a row, and it's them just getting

801
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 1: taste because they have to feel it before they can

802
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 1: use it. That's always what I was told. That's always

803
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: why people had to do the pepper spray for my

804
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: friends that were in law enforcement, was that if they're

805
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: going to hold and spray some pepper spray, they have

806
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: to know what it feels like before they can actually

807
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: put it on other people. So I'm gonna play you

808
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: on this video of people just getting tased. That's military.

809
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: Is there's a bad word there, Sorry about that. That's police.

810
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:42,439
Speaker 1: Here's military. Take the taser. That's a big there too.

811
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: That dude's like six foot five military military. She is

812
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: taking it like a no sound, no sound, she's looking

813
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: at it. She took that taser and she just looked

814
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: and she just stared and she's like, is that all

815
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: you got? Is that all you got? Now? When it

816
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: was over, she was like, whoa man, she crushed it.

817
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: I'll give you a few more. Here's police, please please,

00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: gonna tell you why I did this. There's nobody here

830
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 1: with me. Had to push all the buttons myself, had

831
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 1: to record it, had send it off, had to do

832
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: all the stuff. But I did it because I know

833
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,600
