Speaker 1: Welcome to Good Calls with Dean Blandina, a production about Hardway.
Speaker 1: What's up, Dean Blandino? Another episode of Good Calls? As always,
Speaker 1: I'm joined by the man in the mydth the legend
Speaker 1: the Caucasian Rattlesnake himself getting thrown up symbols. I don't
Speaker 1: know what those handiestues are. It's three three, it's week
Speaker 1: thirty three already, Oh good show. Thirty three of the
Speaker 1: show Travis Hansen, Sha Roughty by Larry Bird, Oh nice,
Speaker 1: famous thirty three's we can do that? The problem that
Speaker 1: actually so I think this is episode thirty four. It's shock,
Speaker 1: it's not Larry byrd. You know what, that's a good idea.
Speaker 1: Let's let's label each episode by a famous athlete with
Speaker 1: that number. Basically, once we get to ninety nine, we're
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to do it, but we can
Speaker 1: at least get to ninety nine. I know who's obviously
Speaker 1: we we can get to Wayne Gretzky. All right, let's
Speaker 1: let's make it the goal is to get to Wayne Gretzky.
Speaker 1: Al right, So this is episode on the Tew years
Speaker 1: of the show. Who's Your Who's Your Most Famous? Thirty
Speaker 1: four looking, I'm looking it up shout before right, you're
Speaker 1: showing not three, right, Yeah, but I think we might
Speaker 1: have skipped one. Joe might be right. It's not just
Speaker 1: the audio guy. He can count too. I'm so good accounting.
Speaker 1: I love the optimistic message behind you, Jail. Better days
Speaker 1: are coming. Speaking of better days are coming, let's talk
Speaker 1: about the current situation, the current environment, Travis updates, cancelations, Hopefully,
Speaker 1: hopefully pretty soon we'll be talking about and I know
Speaker 1: we've got a couple of updates, will be talking about
Speaker 1: when things are going to start up again. That's the goal,
Speaker 1: all right. So what's happening around the world of sports
Speaker 1: right now? Yeah? I feel free to jump in here
Speaker 1: at any time. UM. The first one we talked about
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, the Spelling Bees canceled first time
Speaker 1: since nineteen UM at the sporting event. And then something
Speaker 1: that a lot of people watch and disappointing, UM one
Speaker 1: that was here in l A. I'm just that is
Speaker 1: it feels very draconian. It's my spelling words. Don't ask
Speaker 1: Joe or I to spell anything that's obviously could put
Speaker 1: The Spelling Bees could put World Series of Poker's postponed
Speaker 1: um from May July fifteenth. I know Joe is a
Speaker 1: big online poker player, right, Joe, you played a lot.
Speaker 1: I guess they couldn't figure out a way to do
Speaker 1: that online. Obviously people play online poker all the time,
Speaker 1: but I guess that's not something that they could, you know, reasonably,
Speaker 1: you know, do It wasn't feasible. I guess another story
Speaker 1: that caught my Taylor Swift concert at so Far, which
Speaker 1: is supposed to be the the kickoff event is uh
Speaker 1: has been canceled. That was set for July. So it's
Speaker 1: getting closer to that NFL season that we'll talk about later. Um.
Speaker 1: A Japanese disease expert was I was talking about the
Speaker 1: Olympics next summer, saying the very pessimistic that he thinks
Speaker 1: that would happen. And then I saw another story that
Speaker 1: people are having a conflict the IOC and and Japan
Speaker 1: are having a little uh dispute over who's gonna pay
Speaker 1: for all the postponent They saying it's gonna be like
Speaker 1: two billions, two to six billions and postponed it for
Speaker 1: a year. So yeah, pretty wild stuff going on there.
Speaker 1: Sad one uh. The baseball back company Louisville Sluggers closing
Speaker 1: down the factory for loan employees because no baseball. There
Speaker 1: could be baseball coming up. We're gonna talk about that later.
Speaker 1: Maybe possible. UM three cities going to be hosting hosting
Speaker 1: baseball games. We hope that will happen. And uh, interesting
Speaker 1: one year with the draft coming up here this week,
Speaker 1: the w n b A with the most draft, most
Speaker 1: watch draft in the sixteen years and the second most
Speaker 1: watch ever on ESPN. Yeah, I mean that makes sense.
Speaker 1: I mean people are home there their star for sports. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the w NBA draft, I would imagine that that is
Speaker 1: not a ratings bonanza. Nothing against w n b A,
Speaker 1: It's just not something that right that that people are
Speaker 1: gonna are gonna watch, um, you know, in large numbers.
Speaker 1: And and that obviously makes sense. And I was excited
Speaker 1: by New York Liberty getting the uh, the first pick
Speaker 1: and getting um, what's her name, Caruscoe or and she
Speaker 1: she was the first pick. She played at Oregon. She's
Speaker 1: his absolute stud. And uh, I feel like the Liberty
Speaker 1: are gonna, you know, at least one New York basketball
Speaker 1: team is going to be successful in the near future.
Speaker 1: Thinking of the New York basketball team. Um, I feel
Speaker 1: like you didn't want to watched The Last Dance. That
Speaker 1: was the most viewed doc on the at the N
Speaker 1: and the history. They're like, I want to talk about
Speaker 1: that a little bit mean, I want to hear why
Speaker 1: you don't want to watch it. So obviously, the Last Dance,
Speaker 1: this has been hyped, even before coronavirus. This was hyped.
Speaker 1: This was gonna be, you know, one of the ESPN's
Speaker 1: bigger productions and an unbelievable and I'm sure it was
Speaker 1: one of the highest rating things. Like you said, it
Speaker 1: was the highest rated dot on on ESPN All about right,
Speaker 1: A ten part series about Michael Jordan and the Bulls
Speaker 1: during that that run of championships. So here's the thing
Speaker 1: I have. I have made peace with Michael Jordan's recently.
Speaker 1: And then we're I'm talking about years, We're talking about months. Okay,
Speaker 1: I hated Michael Jordan. There was a time when I
Speaker 1: hated Michael Jordan more than anyone on the planet or
Speaker 1: the history of the Earth. He hated him with a passion.
Speaker 1: This was obviously I was younger, I'm a Nicks and um,
Speaker 1: the Nicks during that time, you know, late eighties or
Speaker 1: early nineties, they were They were an up and coming team.
Speaker 1: They put together a good core. Obviously with Patrick Ewing
Speaker 1: draft lottery. Winning that lottery and getting you Ing, that
Speaker 1: was kind of the kickstart. And they put together a
Speaker 1: really good team that it felt like every year the
Speaker 1: Bulls were the ones that were beating them and knocking
Speaker 1: them out of the playoffs. And and I had such
Speaker 1: a hatred for Michael Jordan. And let me preface that
Speaker 1: by saying, he's the greatest basketball player of all time.
Speaker 1: I don't care who you know, Mr Lakers guy over there. Uh,
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about the game that was on the
Speaker 1: other day. But Kobe, no Lebron, no Wilt, Kareem, Magic,
Speaker 1: Larry Bird, They're all up there. But Michael Jordan is
Speaker 1: at the top. He's the greatest player to ever play.
Speaker 1: So I'll give him that. But I hated him with
Speaker 1: such a passion. I thought he was a despicable human being.
Speaker 1: Maybe that was all on my head. I created that
Speaker 1: because of what he did to the Knicks. And I've
Speaker 1: recently come to peace with Michael Jordan's and I even
Speaker 1: got my first pair of Jordan's. Joe helped me purchase those.
Speaker 1: That was what Joe a couple of months ago. I
Speaker 1: never I've refused to give anything to that. That whole
Speaker 1: industry I hate with a passion. So I am. I'm
Speaker 1: a much better Kindler Jetler right now, and I'm in
Speaker 1: a better place, you know, through therapy and and everything else.
Speaker 1: And I was the place. Yeah, I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: how much have you spent in therapy getting about Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan's Like can you say any of the self self evaluation,
Speaker 1: self therapy and just going through it, And I think
Speaker 1: it may have helped just having a child as son
Speaker 1: that is interested in plays basketball and wanted to learn
Speaker 1: about Michael Jordan in the history. Look, that was that
Speaker 1: was my time, you know, growing up watching the NBA
Speaker 1: are in the eighties and the nineties, and that was
Speaker 1: what I fell in love with the n B A
Speaker 1: was during that time. And he was obviously, um the
Speaker 1: greatest player, like I said, but I hated, hated, hated him,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to go back to a place
Speaker 1: of hate. I'm all about love and peace and harmony.
Speaker 1: And if I watched that documentary, I'm gonna become a bitter,
Speaker 1: bitter person. I don't want to do it, So that's
Speaker 1: why I'm not watching. That's fair enough. I watched the
Speaker 1: first two episodes and I thought they were great. I
Speaker 1: was a huge Michael Jordan fan as a kid. Um
Speaker 1: they I think he saved the NBA. Like for me,
Speaker 1: I did. I stopped watching the NBA after that ninety
Speaker 1: eight season when Jordan left, I left the NBA too,
Speaker 1: And and to me, he's definitely the greatest player, and
Speaker 1: there's no question about it. He changed the game. He
Speaker 1: made it what the game is today. He made it
Speaker 1: so these guys are making these huge guaranteed salons. Let's
Speaker 1: not get crazy. Let's not get crazy that Michael Jordan
Speaker 1: made the game what it is today because there was
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys before Jordan came into the lead.
Speaker 1: And many people will say that it was magic like
Speaker 1: that that made the NBA the modern NBA what it is,
Speaker 1: and those Celtics teams and those Lakers teams while Jordan
Speaker 1: was still you know, getting cut from his see your
Speaker 1: brain out the hate. You're bringing out the hate. We
Speaker 1: don't have a debate show. I don't want to want
Speaker 1: to do it. Here. You said you liked it. You
Speaker 1: started blowing smoke up his ass and now I'm starting
Speaker 1: to hate again, and this is why I won't watch it.
Speaker 1: Now I'm now I'm fired up, and I don't want
Speaker 1: to do that. I like it. I decided, being in
Speaker 1: a while, this is good. So but the thing about it, though,
Speaker 1: which I think is good for everyone, is it felt
Speaker 1: like the last Dance. Um. It was it was like
Speaker 1: a big sporting event that everybody could watch. Because now
Speaker 1: people are watching. Everybody's on Netflix or Hulu or Amazon
Speaker 1: Prime and they're not watching at the same time and
Speaker 1: just being on social media, it felt like everybody was watching.
Speaker 1: It was like like sixteen million people watching. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it was like this, you know, it's that common. You know,
Speaker 1: everybody watches a big playoff game. You know, everybody watches
Speaker 1: Thursday night football, or everybody watches a bowl game, and
Speaker 1: everybody can come in and and and exchange on social media.
Speaker 1: So from that aspect, I thought it was really cool. Um,
Speaker 1: but again I don't I don't need to. I don't
Speaker 1: need to go back to a dark place. It's like
Speaker 1: it's like if you if you got me, you know,
Speaker 1: gave me a wife beater and a gold chain and
Speaker 1: played some freestyle music that would take me back to
Speaker 1: a dark place of my past and my you know,
Speaker 1: we can we talk about that more, what happened there,
Speaker 1: and if you if you did that to me, I
Speaker 1: would absolutely fall back into an abyss. And and I
Speaker 1: don't mean an abyss as like a chasm of despair.
Speaker 1: It's actually a club in Jersey. It's Guido Club called
Speaker 1: the Abyss, and they play amazing music and that's where
Speaker 1: I would go back to. So I don't want to
Speaker 1: do that. So Guido Michael Jordan's that's the nineties for me,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to go back there. Can I
Speaker 1: get on record that we're we are taking a trip
Speaker 1: to the Jersey Shore when all this is done, Like,
Speaker 1: I just want to experience it, you know what I'm
Speaker 1: going to them? I did, I did agree to that
Speaker 1: and I will. I will follow through on that. So
Speaker 1: when this is all over, hopefully we have one weekend
Speaker 1: in the summer, because the Jersey Shore is a summer thing,
Speaker 1: and I will take you to Belmart, New Jersey, UM
Speaker 1: Point Plus in New Jersey. That's those are our hangouts
Speaker 1: and we we got houses every summer and we'll hit
Speaker 1: DJ's and we'll go to Jenkinson's on the boardwalk and
Speaker 1: and there's a whole bunch of places. It is amazing.
Speaker 1: It you will, Travis. I would pay a million dollars
Speaker 1: to watch you in one of these clubs. It is
Speaker 1: amazing and we're gonna have an amazing time. Single trap
Speaker 1: probably have been better than married with children. Dad, It's yeah,
Speaker 1: but still it's a good time. Will come out. It
Speaker 1: is good. Like, yeah, I don't know if you you know,
Speaker 1: dropkicking dudes on the boardwalk and flip flops is the
Speaker 1: way to go, but you know it. Yeah, Um, I'm
Speaker 1: so excited that we got I'm just so excited that
Speaker 1: we have this on record, Like I'm just I'm thrilled.
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm gonna keep it on my phone. Let's
Speaker 1: go back to so the news broke um this week
Speaker 1: and the whole thing. Honestly, it just sucks. The XFL
Speaker 1: stuff stocks it was. It was so much fun to
Speaker 1: be a part of, and it was really doing well
Speaker 1: and it was refreshing and it showed that spring football
Speaker 1: could work. And obviously everything with Corona and it just
Speaker 1: Vince McMahon and I get it's a business decision, but
Speaker 1: then the news dropped at Oliver Luck who was the
Speaker 1: commissioner of the XFL, is suing Vince McMahon and um,
Speaker 1: you know, just to see how this is gonna play out.
Speaker 1: And I didn't realize Oliver had a contract guaranteed for
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars and that's a big, big number and
Speaker 1: you know, a huge and the way you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Look, I don't know all the details. I
Speaker 1: don't know what happened, but it sounds like, you know,
Speaker 1: the XFL they let Oliver go the day before, they
Speaker 1: informed Oliver on a Thursday, and then that Friday morning,
Speaker 1: they had a conference call with the entire staff and
Speaker 1: they let them know. So Oliver they actually let go
Speaker 1: before that. And so I don't know if they were
Speaker 1: setting that up to, you know, for some kind of
Speaker 1: breach of contracts so they wouldn't have to pay it
Speaker 1: out if he had guaranteed money, and there was some
Speaker 1: clauses and there. It's gonna be interesting to see how
Speaker 1: that plays out. But again, it just makes me. It's
Speaker 1: just so sad. It's so sad that it came to that.
Speaker 1: Whereas a little more than a month ago, you know,
Speaker 1: we were you know, wrapping up the first half of
Speaker 1: the season and thinking about the second half and thinking
Speaker 1: about the postseason and the championship game, and everything was great,
Speaker 1: and in such a short time, it just all it
Speaker 1: all went down the drain, and it just kind of sucks.
Speaker 1: Totally different. Pointing um major League Baseball. You mentioned Travis
Speaker 1: you know, I was reading, and this is an interesting concept.
Speaker 1: I think baseball is really and I like, I'm a
Speaker 1: big fan. I've never met him, but just from watching
Speaker 1: him publicly and some of the things he said, I
Speaker 1: like Rob Manfred. He seems like just like kind of
Speaker 1: like a down to earth regular guy, and he seems
Speaker 1: to be pretty transparent and open. And at this point
Speaker 1: he said, look, we don't right now. We have ideas,
Speaker 1: we don't necessarily necessarily have concrete plans. And I think
Speaker 1: that's real. That's you know, because who knows when it's
Speaker 1: gonna be safe and these restrictions are going to be lifted.
Speaker 1: But one of the plans or ideas that has now
Speaker 1: been floated is a three state set up where you
Speaker 1: divide the league into these three states, the three states
Speaker 1: being Arizona, Florida, and Texas, and you play in the
Speaker 1: stadiums in those states. All of those states have retractable
Speaker 1: roof stadiums, so you can play you know, weather is
Speaker 1: not an issue, and you keep the teams you know,
Speaker 1: in those areas, and then you play the games, you know,
Speaker 1: a shortened season at this point. And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: so that's been floated. And and obviously I've heard you know,
Speaker 1: players like Mike Trapped play and Kershaw other guys have said,
Speaker 1: you know, they're not necessarily looking forward to being in
Speaker 1: essence quarantined or quarantine away from their families and sequestered,
Speaker 1: you know, in some state, in some location away from
Speaker 1: there there you know, the spouses and their children and
Speaker 1: their loved ones. And I can understand that. But but
Speaker 1: you know, the economics reality is is that these leagues, baseball,
Speaker 1: they got to start playing because it is going to
Speaker 1: be a real hardship on on a lot of people
Speaker 1: if they're not playing games. And that goes for the
Speaker 1: other sports too. And again this is this is unlike
Speaker 1: anything we've ever experienced in our lifetime, and um, it'll
Speaker 1: be it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. Hopefully,
Speaker 1: you know, you just hope for the best, and like
Speaker 1: Joe says, better days are coming. Speaking of baseball, though,
Speaker 1: I would like to introduce a new segment. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you guys remember back in the day, it
Speaker 1: was This Weekend Baseball. You remember This Weekend Baseball, the
Speaker 1: show on Saturdays, the voice Bob Yucker. Yeah, there was
Speaker 1: Joe Garrazola, there was others, but it used to be
Speaker 1: This Weekend Baseball and they would do like around the league.
Speaker 1: And I used to live for that, you know, as
Speaker 1: a little kid. And uh, and so what I want
Speaker 1: to do is, since they're playing, and we talked about
Speaker 1: them last week, and there's something newsworthy this week, it's
Speaker 1: this week entire Neese Baseball. So that's gonna be the
Speaker 1: new sentiment. So last week we talked about they were
Speaker 1: gonna play with cardboard cutouts. This week they had a
Speaker 1: bench clearing brawl. And did you watch the video of
Speaker 1: the brawl? Oh my god, we could spend a whole
Speaker 1: episode talking about that ten minutes or whatever. It was. Yes,
Speaker 1: it was as far as baseball brawls go, it was bad.
Speaker 1: It was not a good brawl, but we are starved
Speaker 1: for something. It was the most exciting thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: And even the announcers were like this is exciting, they
Speaker 1: were saying. And what was fascinating is that? So it
Speaker 1: was it was It revolved around they had a protest
Speaker 1: about a back. The one team protested the other team
Speaker 1: was using an illegal back. I don't know what the
Speaker 1: rule is, but obviously it probably has to do with
Speaker 1: you remember the famous George Brett pine right. So the
Speaker 1: bat didn't have pinet are on it, so I would
Speaker 1: imagine it's something to do with the diameter or the
Speaker 1: type of wood. I don't know, but they they protested
Speaker 1: this bat. The umpires looked at it. They were communicating
Speaker 1: with someone outside of the umpiring group, and they determined
Speaker 1: that the bat was legal. So I guess the guy
Speaker 1: that was protesting the bat. The next time he gets
Speaker 1: up the picture, just threw four straight balls, and like
Speaker 1: each one got increasingly and it was like, Okay, this
Speaker 1: one's inside, this one's more inside, this one's more inside
Speaker 1: than the catcher and the bench. The dugout and the
Speaker 1: batter started getting into it. And then the last one
Speaker 1: he just hit him perfectly right in the pocket, like
Speaker 1: right in the right in the mind, right in the pocket.
Speaker 1: And then it wasn't that you should hit a guy
Speaker 1: if you're a guy. It's if you hit him, you
Speaker 1: hit him below the neck. You don't go anywhere near
Speaker 1: the head, and you aim for the middle of the body,
Speaker 1: you know, And and that's what you do. Even it's tough.
Speaker 1: You don't want to hit somebody in the ribs. You
Speaker 1: can break a rip knock somebody out, But if you're
Speaker 1: gonna hit somebody the good meaty part of the thigh
Speaker 1: or the butt, that's gonna be the best best way
Speaker 1: to do it. So it was a perfect bean ball.
Speaker 1: And then it kind of it wasn't It wasn't like
Speaker 1: to throw your helmet charge him. Yeah, there was no charge,
Speaker 1: and they just kind of got together. But it was
Speaker 1: very like it was very like sophisticated and and civilized,
Speaker 1: and there wasn't There was one push the picture pushed
Speaker 1: the one guy, but that was it. And what was
Speaker 1: fascinating the announcers are like, this doesn't happen in Taiwanese baseball.
Speaker 1: They don't, he said, they don't argue with the umpires.
Speaker 1: He said, they don't. They don't. They have bench clearing stuff.
Speaker 1: And what was so funny is that that's happening. And
Speaker 1: then you're watching the cardboard cutouts in the stands and
Speaker 1: you're just seeing the people. And they didn't even they
Speaker 1: didn't even put like there was literally, from what I saw,
Speaker 1: like maybe eight cardboard cutouts in the entire stadium. Right,
Speaker 1: they showed the whole white shot the stadium EMPY, so
Speaker 1: it just looks crazy and weird. And they put our
Speaker 1: three behind the backstop and there's just these three random
Speaker 1: people cardboard cutouts. So that's what's happening this week, and
Speaker 1: Time with These Baseball will be back next week, Travis,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go through the teams. We're gonna do
Speaker 1: a whole one on one the teams. One of the
Speaker 1: teams was the Monkeys, right, the Monkeys, I don't know
Speaker 1: what the other team was, but we're gonna do The
Speaker 1: mascots were going, we're doing it. They had a guy
Speaker 1: like zip lining. So next week we're gonna do a
Speaker 1: full rundown and for all the listeners, you're gonna you're
Speaker 1: gonna get into Time with These Baseball. And then lastly, positive, positive, positive,
Speaker 1: um the PGA Tour is going to start in June,
Speaker 1: and and so you know, I looked at the schedule
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be obviously a condensed schedule. I don't
Speaker 1: think that the majors. It looks like the p G
Speaker 1: A Championship is the only major on the schedule. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're if they're using other tournaments
Speaker 1: for majors, but um, look it makes sense. I know,
Speaker 1: you know, I was talking to Mike Prayer the other
Speaker 1: day and the golf course Mike is a big golfer,
Speaker 1: and the golf course at the club that he goes
Speaker 1: to in Sacramento, it's open. And he says, you know,
Speaker 1: the club shop the club, the club isn't open. The
Speaker 1: shop isn't open. Um, you have to you know, you
Speaker 1: have to be six ft away from from the nearest person.
Speaker 1: But you can go out and play, and it makes sense.
Speaker 1: The golf is, you know, you're not in large groups,
Speaker 1: you don't you know, there's obviously gonna gonna be no spectators.
Speaker 1: And I really I've never been to a professional golf mean,
Speaker 1: you know, Joe, you you went to UH Waste Management
Speaker 1: in January. I always felt like golf was more of
Speaker 1: a TV sport anyway. But you know, you guys might disagree,
Speaker 1: but I think it'll be it'll be good to have
Speaker 1: something back Joe, you raped about Wate many but you
Speaker 1: said it a lot of fun. I've never gone to
Speaker 1: golf live barely. It wasn't really actual golf tournament. It
Speaker 1: was just but waste. That's the one in Phoenix that's
Speaker 1: super Bowl weekend. It's not about the golf necessarily. People
Speaker 1: get dressed up. There's what is it the sixteen Green
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, like everybody there's a grand stand. Um,
Speaker 1: it's a big party. And I've never been to that event,
Speaker 1: but I've been to the Super Bowl in Phoenix, and
Speaker 1: so I've been to after parties where people from the
Speaker 1: from the golf tournament were there, and obviously people for
Speaker 1: the super Bowl were there. And you see these people
Speaker 1: in these colorful outfits. And I know that you know,
Speaker 1: Joe was raving. Um, the sites are very there's there's
Speaker 1: quite a lot of good sites, if you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. At the point, there's a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: to look at. There's a lot of attractive people at
Speaker 1: the at the golf course. Is why they ask you
Speaker 1: what else you got? What else we got? I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take a break. What do you what do you guys? Well,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk more about Jordan's how he's
Speaker 1: gonna donate all the pro seeds that he makes from
Speaker 1: from the dock. Now, you know what's interesting about million?
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting about Michael Jordan during his playing career.
Speaker 1: He didn't give a ship about charity. He didn't be
Speaker 1: about anybody else but winning. Okay, all right? Never stand
Speaker 1: up like lebron of ahamadad Ali for social injustice? Did
Speaker 1: he ever? No? Thanks for bringing back. Let's go to break.
Speaker 1: I'll handle this one up. After we'll be talking about
Speaker 1: Jed social distancing tips and Travis's next edition next on
Speaker 1: Good Calls. All right, we're back on Good Calls Dean
Speaker 1: Blandino and Joe because I was on a ramp, Joe
Speaker 1: took us to break, and I gotta say that is
Speaker 1: the first and last time he will ever take something
Speaker 1: because it was awful. You didn't even you didn't even
Speaker 1: plug the right segment, so you know you said, actually
Speaker 1: segment three is what you said was coming up, and
Speaker 1: that's obviously not the case. Well, the good thing about
Speaker 1: being the audio guys, I could switch those around. So
Speaker 1: it's fine now that you're ruining it for you, So listen,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to save my friend. I don't want Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan's hearing this and coming, you know, getting upset with you,
Speaker 1: because I'm sure Michael Jordan cares what I think about him.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's a listener. I'm sure that's an issue.
Speaker 1: So let's let's go. NFL Draft. Obviously, the draft is
Speaker 1: this week, and this is this is a big deal.
Speaker 1: The draft is always it's probably it's the biggest event
Speaker 1: in the NFL offseason. It's I would imagine, you know,
Speaker 1: I haven't checked the ratings, but the NFL Draft, at
Speaker 1: least the first round usually outrgs UM other live sports
Speaker 1: and you know, other than maybe NBA Finals and things
Speaker 1: like that, but it's definitely one of the higher watch
Speaker 1: So I would imagine this draft is going to be
Speaker 1: it is probably gonna break records because of everything that
Speaker 1: that we've been dealing with and no live sports and
Speaker 1: things like that. That being said, you know, how is
Speaker 1: it gonna work? And what's interesting is they had a
Speaker 1: mock draft and it was reported that there were you know,
Speaker 1: several gms complained and there were glitches and look, it
Speaker 1: wasn't perfect, but for what they're trying to do, the
Speaker 1: people that I talked to said if it worked pretty well,
Speaker 1: and there were certainly worth some issues to work through.
Speaker 1: And what they did is they had a mock draft
Speaker 1: and they try to test you know, trades and things
Speaker 1: like that. And the one thing that came out was
Speaker 1: that there was an issue with the trade Dallas was
Speaker 1: and they they scripted it so Dallas was supposed to
Speaker 1: trade with Cincinnati and and there was some mix up
Speaker 1: with the trade and and that didn't go through. So
Speaker 1: that created some issues. But here's the deal. Here's here's
Speaker 1: how it's gonna work. So there there's gonna be a
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a WebEx that is going to be
Speaker 1: set up and all thirty two teams are going to
Speaker 1: log into that web x and the three representatives from
Speaker 1: each team on that WebEx and that will stay open
Speaker 1: throughout the entire draft, and that is for the league
Speaker 1: to communicate with all thirty two clubs and that will
Speaker 1: be information like, okay, with the second pick in the
Speaker 1: NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins take Chase Young, defensive ent o.
Speaker 1: How State Detroit is now on the clock, so that
Speaker 1: anytime the league wants to communicate things to the entire
Speaker 1: thirty two they'll do it via that web x. Okay,
Speaker 1: So one of the issues with the mock draft if
Speaker 1: you've ever experienced a conference call or a zoom meeting
Speaker 1: like we've been doing the last couple of weeks, is
Speaker 1: people couldn't figure out how to mute their microphones, so
Speaker 1: they were kicking up background noise. So that was the
Speaker 1: first issue. The second issue was they were doing kind
Speaker 1: of a roll call and they were having a hard
Speaker 1: time communicating who was on the call because people either
Speaker 1: weren't listening, they couldn't access their mike, those types of things.
Speaker 1: So there was just some some growing pains there. And
Speaker 1: believe me, I deal with this. I have conference calls
Speaker 1: with replay officials during the season, I'm doing zoom meetings,
Speaker 1: and I have to remind them every time too mute
Speaker 1: their microphones because the amount of times I've heard somebody's
Speaker 1: wife talking about things I don't want to hear about,
Speaker 1: or the guys on the golf course and he's not
Speaker 1: supposed to be or whatever it is, and they're not
Speaker 1: meeting their microphones. So that's the first part. So you
Speaker 1: have that part, and then there's then there's Microsoft Teams,
Speaker 1: which is which is a service that Microsoft provides where
Speaker 1: you can kind of like Zoom where you can communicate.
Speaker 1: So Microsoft see Teams. There will be a secure log
Speaker 1: in for each team. So you logging into Microsoft Teams
Speaker 1: and you get a code. You have to enter in
Speaker 1: that code when you're gonna make your pick. So you enter,
Speaker 1: you log in and you enter, then you get a
Speaker 1: code you get You enter the code, and then you
Speaker 1: make your pick. Okay, every time your pick is up,
Speaker 1: your next pick, you get a new code, so you
Speaker 1: don't have to log in again, but you get a
Speaker 1: code every time. So it's so it's secure. You can't
Speaker 1: just if somebody logs in and somebody hacks into that
Speaker 1: that system, they would have to get that code to
Speaker 1: actually send it a pick. So so that's that's the
Speaker 1: pick line. Okay. Then there's a trade line, so there's
Speaker 1: a dedicated line where the two teams can communicate. However
Speaker 1: they communicate. They can communicate like normal, they can communicate
Speaker 1: the text, phone, call, email, however they communicate. So if
Speaker 1: the lions and the packers not the lines of packers
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't make a trade they're in the same division.
Speaker 1: But let's say the lines in the chiefs want to
Speaker 1: make a trade, they communicate the trade, they agree upon
Speaker 1: it with each other. Then they go to this secure
Speaker 1: line and they talked to the league. Together two communicate
Speaker 1: the details of the trade, and then the League will
Speaker 1: look at it, make sure it makes sense, it complies
Speaker 1: to all the rules, and then the league then can
Speaker 1: make the announcement to all thirty two via that WebEx
Speaker 1: and say, you know, with the eighteen pick the Chiefs
Speaker 1: has traded um with, you know, with the Detroit Lions
Speaker 1: or whatever. So so that's how it's all gonna work.
Speaker 1: And there is a very last backup is cell phone
Speaker 1: and land lines to the League office. So there's designated
Speaker 1: people at the League office that if for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: your connection you know, falters, whatever it may be, you
Speaker 1: can there's a landline and cell phones that you can
Speaker 1: communicate directly to the League office. So so that's how
Speaker 1: it's all gonna work. This is a big undertaking and
Speaker 1: the I T guys, you see people at the NFL.
Speaker 1: I've been working on this um for for a long
Speaker 1: time and it's a lot of work and it's gonna
Speaker 1: be hopefully everything goes well and there's no glitches. But
Speaker 1: you know, we saw some stories I send you guys,
Speaker 1: the story teams are not going to take any chances.
Speaker 1: The Lions have their are gonna have their I T guy,
Speaker 1: you know, win a bagel outside g M. Bob Quinn's house.
Speaker 1: So that imagine that guy's like on a steak out
Speaker 1: and he's just waiting for Bob to like notify him that,
Speaker 1: you know, the router needs to be like this. I
Speaker 1: saw that and I was like, this is really smart.
Speaker 1: All the teams need to do that. Well, no question,
Speaker 1: I would think that the the I T support. I
Speaker 1: mean you probably have. I mean they rely on their
Speaker 1: I T people and their video people um to begin with.
Speaker 1: But this is this is taken it to the next level.
Speaker 1: And I think again a lot of moving parts. This
Speaker 1: is unprecedented. But remember you know the draft years and
Speaker 1: years ago. It wasn't it was a phone call. It wasn't.
Speaker 1: It wasn't all all of the bells and whistles that
Speaker 1: we see today. You know, if I if I'm like
Speaker 1: Anonymous or you know, Kevin Mitnick, one of these famous hackers,
Speaker 1: like this is just a fastball down the middle, and
Speaker 1: I'm just people, look, I remember, okay, so I remember
Speaker 1: being on a Competition Committee call. UM. This is probably
Speaker 1: two thousand and fifteen. So we have our Competition Committee
Speaker 1: meetings at UM before the lead meeting, and we'd meet
Speaker 1: for a couple of days and we go through everything
Speaker 1: and then Rich McKay who's the chairman of the Competition Committee, myself, UM,
Speaker 1: we would call the Commissioner and go through the rules
Speaker 1: changes with him. So we would do that, and then
Speaker 1: we would have a conference call with the media where
Speaker 1: they could ask questions. And it was kind of like
Speaker 1: a group conference call the media. You would call into
Speaker 1: a number and then you could ask a question. You
Speaker 1: could you could press a button that you want to
Speaker 1: ask a question. So we're doing this and we're getting
Speaker 1: questions from you know, Kevin Sefort and ESPN about a
Speaker 1: particular rule change, or you know this this reporter, you know,
Speaker 1: Mike Flouria, whoever it may be, And all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: this person gets on the line and they start asking
Speaker 1: a serious question. They don't identify themselves, and they started
Speaker 1: asking a serious question about the the extra point and
Speaker 1: whatever year it was, we were moving the extra point
Speaker 1: to the fifteen And he said, well, have you ever
Speaker 1: thought of a better alternative for the extra point where
Speaker 1: a half naked grease up Andy Reid slide down the
Speaker 1: goal post. Right. So I'm sitting there and I'm going,
Speaker 1: what the who the heck is this and end up
Speaker 1: being somebody from barstool that that hacked into the line,
Speaker 1: that got on the line, got the number and asked
Speaker 1: this ridiculous question. And so the Mike Signoro, who's in
Speaker 1: the PR department at the NFL is one of the
Speaker 1: best people in the world. He's running the call and
Speaker 1: Mike is like frantic and he's like trying to like
Speaker 1: get that that line disconnected, and he's like, Okay, well
Speaker 1: we got So I was this close, this close. I
Speaker 1: didn't do it, but I was this close to When
Speaker 1: the next question was asked, I was like, I want
Speaker 1: to go back to that previous because I have some
Speaker 1: questions of my own. So that's that I agree. There
Speaker 1: are going to be people out there that are gonna
Speaker 1: try to that are going to try to get into this,
Speaker 1: and um, but it is you know, from what I've
Speaker 1: been told and the people I know that worked on it,
Speaker 1: it's very secure. Uh. It's not as simple as just
Speaker 1: you know, breaking into uh you know, a chat room
Speaker 1: or you know, an online video conference and there are
Speaker 1: layers and there is security, but again, that doesn't it's
Speaker 1: not the first time somebody's you know, broken in and uh,
Speaker 1: give me, give me a conference call number. I won't
Speaker 1: tell anybody you want the conference call number. I don't
Speaker 1: have the conference called number. So I'm not I'm I'm
Speaker 1: obviously not drafting UM, but other NFL news breaking. And
Speaker 1: let me say this. I want to take an opportunity
Speaker 1: to say this that our colleague and one of my
Speaker 1: good friends, Jay Glazer Um last week took a lot
Speaker 1: of ship because I don't know if you were following it,
Speaker 1: but Jay was you know, made a comment that he
Speaker 1: was gonna break some news and it kind of blew up.
Speaker 1: It wasn't and the way Ja communicated it was different
Speaker 1: than how was presented. And it was presented as Jay
Speaker 1: Glazer has this national breaking scoop and he's gonna break
Speaker 1: it on Fox is doing Fox Football Now and they're
Speaker 1: doing you know, they're doing online stuff and it was
Speaker 1: gonna break during Jay's segment, and everybody was up in
Speaker 1: arms because Jay's track record is usually when Jay says
Speaker 1: he's gonna he has a big scoop it's bit and
Speaker 1: it ended up being that the and his name escapes me,
Speaker 1: but Brian, he's he's the center for the RAMS tested
Speaker 1: positive for coronavirus and that that was Brian Anderson, I
Speaker 1: think his names. So that was the news and people
Speaker 1: were obviously like let down that this was your national
Speaker 1: breaking news and this is what we get. And he
Speaker 1: got a lot of like nasty messages Twitter, you know
Speaker 1: how Twitter can be, and just a lot of hate
Speaker 1: for really not a good reason. So what I've is
Speaker 1: this week is there is a pretty big not that
Speaker 1: the coronavirus and someone testing positive for in the NFL
Speaker 1: isn't big news. I think what people were expecting was
Speaker 1: something transactional, right, something's related to the draft. So what
Speaker 1: drops this week? And who who drops it? Our friend
Speaker 1: Ja Glazer Gronk, he's gonna play and he's getting traded
Speaker 1: from the Paths to the box and he's gonna rejoin
Speaker 1: with Tom and he's gonna play for be A and
Speaker 1: Tampa is going to Super Bowl. You know what this
Speaker 1: says to me, Tom Brady think doesn't think he can
Speaker 1: do it on his own? Well, you know it will
Speaker 1: hot take. Well, Tom, I mean he's got better weapons
Speaker 1: in Tampa than he had in New England. Um and so,
Speaker 1: but obviously, and it's interesting they're give they've given up
Speaker 1: o J. Howard. I know he hasn't he hasn't really
Speaker 1: put up the numbers that they expected, but he still would.
Speaker 1: He just finished his second year and he was the
Speaker 1: first round pick out of Alabama and they've kind of
Speaker 1: given up on him, and you know, taking a chance. Look,
Speaker 1: Gronk is one of the greatest tite Ends to ever played.
Speaker 1: But the old Bill hasn't played in in what two years.
Speaker 1: He was banged up, He's had a history of injury.
Speaker 1: This is not a gimme by any stretch of the imagination.
Speaker 1: M but it is. Look, it's fun. It's exciting to
Speaker 1: think of Brady and Gronk back together in Tampa, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it'll be it'll be fun. And I think
Speaker 1: Gronk so an opportunity to uh, you know, maybe get
Speaker 1: out of under the shadow of of Bill Belichick and
Speaker 1: maybe you know, because look, both great coaches, but very
Speaker 1: different approaches. And gron is gonna have you know, I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have more fun with Bruce Harrians than
Speaker 1: he did with Bill Belichick. But a ton of respect
Speaker 1: from Bill Belichick because Gronk, you know, Grount really could
Speaker 1: have he could have unretired and been hit the Patriots
Speaker 1: cap and forced them to cut him. And instead, he
Speaker 1: you know, communicated, said he was thinking about coming back,
Speaker 1: wanted to go to Tampa, and they were able to
Speaker 1: work out a deal, so he passed the physical. I
Speaker 1: think that, you know, I don't know if it's finalized
Speaker 1: yet as we're recording, but it's definitely close and I
Speaker 1: know he passed the physical, and I think it's a
Speaker 1: Gronk and a seventh round pick for a fourth round
Speaker 1: of fourth rounder from Tampa. So you know, I'm so
Speaker 1: I love Gronk. I'm so excited for this. Well Joe
Speaker 1: and Gronk party. You know, Joe Joe parties with Gronk
Speaker 1: after Super Bowl victories. He does shot with the dances,
Speaker 1: he does all that stuff. Gron came into the news
Speaker 1: room once when I was booking guests of the NFL
Speaker 1: Network and he was playing catch with with us in
Speaker 1: the news room and I said, hey, watch out, you
Speaker 1: don't want to hit that sprinkle in the ceiling, and
Speaker 1: he just like looked like this dumbfound and looked up
Speaker 1: at the ceilings like they're sprinklers in the ceiling, and
Speaker 1: it was just like just so confused by it. It
Speaker 1: was amazing. He's, uh, you know, he's pretty much he
Speaker 1: well he sees what you get. Like. He's down to earth,
Speaker 1: good guy, loves football, loves to have fun. Um, bigg
Speaker 1: at hand I've ever seen big like when when when
Speaker 1: he was on the set and you'd see him standing
Speaker 1: next to and they're big guys, like straight hand how
Speaker 1: he Um, even Bradshaw you know, is a big guy.
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez, Gronk dwarf them you know, big remember you
Speaker 1: laying that that day and dud Yeah, and just a
Speaker 1: good dude. Um. You know, all my interactions with him
Speaker 1: have been positive. I haven't partied with him like Joe,
Speaker 1: but you know, might have been more professional settings and
Speaker 1: talking about rules and and he was always you know,
Speaker 1: offensive beast and parents nice to talk to him. Um
Speaker 1: the tight ends coach at the time when I was
Speaker 1: at the league office, and how he could avoid offensive
Speaker 1: best and parents calls and things like that. So good
Speaker 1: for gron I'm ext to see what that's gonna look
Speaker 1: look like. I have to think glades are probably had
Speaker 1: that last week, but it just wasn't quite ready, so
Speaker 1: he just had to go with something else. And in
Speaker 1: the Brian Allen and Brian Allen's name was the story
Speaker 1: like I'll just go I'll just go with this story
Speaker 1: because they only had the biggest story. He only has
Speaker 1: the biggest stories. He's not And that's where I think
Speaker 1: the way it was presented was that Jay Glazer is
Speaker 1: gonna break this big story and everybody expects big stories,
Speaker 1: and and that's and like I said, obviously coronavirus is
Speaker 1: a big story, and Brian Allen having it is a
Speaker 1: big story, but people people aren't thinking like that. They're
Speaker 1: thinking some scoop about the draft or some scoop draft.
Speaker 1: You think it's transaction for sure. UM. And then lastly,
Speaker 1: in terms of just switching gears to college college football,
Speaker 1: the Playing Rule UM Oversight panel met yesterday and that's
Speaker 1: the last stage of their rules change process and they
Speaker 1: approved all of the rules change proposals. So we've been
Speaker 1: through so no surprises. They're so going into the season.
Speaker 1: You know, the big ones work. A player that gets
Speaker 1: called photogeting doesn't have to leave the field. They can
Speaker 1: stay on the bench. Here it's stay in the bench area,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know some other things. Officials. Jurisdiction starts
Speaker 1: ninety minutes prior instant replay two minute time time limit,
Speaker 1: not a not a hard time limit, but the recommendation
Speaker 1: is two minutes. And so we're working with I've been
Speaker 1: having weekly zoom calls, um every week. I'm doing I
Speaker 1: think eleven eleven Division one conferences. Uh, there is an
Speaker 1: FCS group that has replay. So we're doing our long
Speaker 1: calls with each group and we're talking about these rules
Speaker 1: changes and process and what's reviewable. And I think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna invite you guys. I want you guys to be
Speaker 1: on these calls too, so you can learn and study out.
Speaker 1: Because I see two future replay officials in my midst
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, take the confidence. Where do you want
Speaker 1: to work? Avis, big Sky? Right here? I want to stay.
Speaker 1: I know they're Mountain West, but I want to stay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to stay in California. Get back twelve, Yeah,
Speaker 1: back twelve. I'll take the Wyoming mission Mountain West. You know,
Speaker 1: good looking will be out there. Oh wow, Joe's saying
Speaker 1: that people in Wyoming are not that good looking. I
Speaker 1: want to know I'm when this all is all over,
Speaker 1: We're going two very different places. We're going Jersey Shore
Speaker 1: and then we're going to Jackson Hall. Did I'll take
Speaker 1: my bow or do some hunting. I'm game officiate a
Speaker 1: game on Saturday. I'm come down. I'm in for that.
Speaker 1: I'm in for that. I'd rather just do some fishing,
Speaker 1: get on a boat, get some beers or some trules
Speaker 1: like like Joe likes, and we can we can all
Speaker 1: go out fishing. I'm in for that. Let's do it,
Speaker 1: all right. We got a couple of trips planned that note,
Speaker 1: Let's go to Travis. Travis, you take us to break.
Speaker 1: Let's see how you do. Alright, let's go to break. Now,
Speaker 1: coming up after the break, we're gonna hear about Joe's
Speaker 1: social distancing tip. We're gonna hear the brain of Landino.
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna Dickens yet again for another role. I
Speaker 1: don't know how I keep getting anything, but you got
Speaker 1: a great agent. That's not good. That all right, we're
Speaker 1: back on good calls, and I can honestly say that
Speaker 1: Travis crushed going to break. He had a new voice.
Speaker 1: It was amazing. He got all the information in whereas
Speaker 1: Joe bumped and ensemble. Joe. Actually, Joe actually sounded like
Speaker 1: Travis during those auditions, and Travis sounded amazing, So I
Speaker 1: don't know what did they get to auditions? But speaking
Speaker 1: of auditions, you mentioned that going to break, we're not
Speaker 1: gonna do an audition this week, but I come up,
Speaker 1: came up with a new thing. So Travis, what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do and we'll start next week. Since we have
Speaker 1: video afability, I'm gonna pick a famous moment in sports
Speaker 1: history and you're gonna do the play by play, So
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna have the call. So let did
Speaker 1: I let the fans in on my radio voice on this? Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's hear alright, good calls that the led Zeno and
Speaker 1: Joe talking about social distancing m C the DJ at
Speaker 1: a strip club or is that radio next on the
Speaker 1: main State? In a man and gonna be exactly, don't
Speaker 1: forget to tip your waitresses? Exactly. Wow, he just gets
Speaker 1: better and better. Man, let's get back he does, we'll
Speaker 1: bring him out of his show. Let's get back to you.
Speaker 1: This is this, This is a podcast about rules, and
Speaker 1: I've got some I've got some rules discussions for us.
Speaker 1: First rule proposal, I'm disappointed in you guys that we
Speaker 1: have a group text. We have a couple of group
Speaker 1: text but the main one is the three of us
Speaker 1: and our friends Scott, and I feel like I want
Speaker 1: to I want to propose a new rule in the
Speaker 1: group text that when someone sends something, we have to
Speaker 1: acknowledge it and respond to it before we can send
Speaker 1: something else. Okay, because I've been sending too many funny
Speaker 1: things and you guys are just sending stuff right over
Speaker 1: the top and not responding to my thing. Every Scott
Speaker 1: does it, Joe does it. So Joe, you're actually the
Speaker 1: best at responding, but you're still not. So. The new
Speaker 1: rule proposal is, anytime somebody sends something, uh it might
Speaker 1: you know whatever it is, a tweet, a video, that
Speaker 1: at least one of us has to acknowledge it and
Speaker 1: respond before you can just send something else. Does a
Speaker 1: ha ha count just one of the little like you
Speaker 1: know you just click acknowledge what I am saying? Okay,
Speaker 1: ha ha is fine. A reaction is fine, But you
Speaker 1: can't just if I send a funny video, you can't
Speaker 1: just send another one unless and here's an exception. The
Speaker 1: rulebook has exceptions unless your text is related to mine somehow. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's a good rule. It's a good rule. So that's
Speaker 1: the one exception. I think you should tweet that out
Speaker 1: and or we'll do with this video and see what
Speaker 1: the public says. Okay, because everybody's doing this, everyone's so
Speaker 1: we need a two thirds vote to pass that rule.
Speaker 1: So all in favor would raise your hand. I mean,
Speaker 1: I love that because you send something out and you
Speaker 1: you're like, you're sharing it with your friends and you
Speaker 1: want to hear what they have to say about it.
Speaker 1: So I'm with that. By the way, thanks for saying
Speaker 1: I'm the best. Um, I'm gonna go ahead and counter
Speaker 1: and say you're the worst. So I'm right up there.
Speaker 1: I'm really bad too. I'm always too busy with my
Speaker 1: eight kids and now I'm working from home again and
Speaker 1: doing live programming, and you know, see, here's an example.
Speaker 1: So here's good, a good one. I sent my favorite,
Speaker 1: my favorite Corona related video of the week. I sent
Speaker 1: it to you guys, and Scott replied, that's good, thank you.
Speaker 1: That's all I need. That's all I need. But then
Speaker 1: I sent last night, and you know you did. But
Speaker 1: last night I sent the Vin Diesel video and no
Speaker 1: one responded, and then Travis just text another video about
Speaker 1: us weightlifting working out from home. No one responded to
Speaker 1: my my Vin Diesel comment. He needs I'm awful, So
Speaker 1: the Vin Diesel Have you seen that video? No, that
Speaker 1: was the whole point. See if you can't. If you
Speaker 1: don't respond to me, you're not watching them. We can't
Speaker 1: discuss it on the podcast. But apparently this is years
Speaker 1: old and Vin Diesel basically did like uh an online
Speaker 1: video of him to a Beyonce song. I guess the
Speaker 1: song is drunk at Home or that's maybe what it was.
Speaker 1: The video was titled, and it's him singing to a
Speaker 1: Beyonce song in a very provocative way. And my beef
Speaker 1: with you guys is how how is this the first
Speaker 1: time I'm seeing this? Especially Scott is not here to
Speaker 1: defend himself. But that's the type of ship that Scott
Speaker 1: should know about and should share in our twenty six
Speaker 1: hours together over the weekend during football season, when we're
Speaker 1: together for right usually has the total nuggets. So the
Speaker 1: other rule, when there is something viral like that, okay,
Speaker 1: we share it and we make sure that we share
Speaker 1: it with me that's that's the rule, so that I'm aware, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: so that's the second rule. Maybe we should rate it
Speaker 1: instead of just commenting, we should say, hey, that's a seven.
Speaker 1: I'm with that for the rating system. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: one through ten seems pretty standard, just your standard one
Speaker 1: through ten rating system. Okay, Well, you guys need to
Speaker 1: watch the vin Diesel video. Um, I'm playing it right
Speaker 1: now as we're talking about this, like, I don't have
Speaker 1: the audio up, but you need you need the audio,
Speaker 1: but just let it down. Not the time now, it's
Speaker 1: not last rule. Last rule. Um vocabulary and words. So
Speaker 1: I'm of an age and I feel like like, and
Speaker 1: I think I don't know how it all works, but
Speaker 1: I think we're all in the same generation or or Travis,
Speaker 1: are you a millennial? Uh? Yeah? According to ye, it's
Speaker 1: like night. So I fall into that. Okay, And so
Speaker 1: when and I'm right, I'm before eight and millennial And
Speaker 1: what's that Generation X? Yeah, that's yeah. So Joe and
Speaker 1: I are Generation X, and I felt Generation X is
Speaker 1: the best generation because we we in millennials older millennials,
Speaker 1: but we know both worlds. We know growing up without
Speaker 1: the Internet and without cell phones, and we remember rotary phones,
Speaker 1: and we remember pay phones, and we remember we remember no,
Speaker 1: you know, the video game that was the handheld video
Speaker 1: game with the dots, the lights and things like that.
Speaker 1: We remember that. But we're also you know, we're also
Speaker 1: versed in today's culture and the internet and social media
Speaker 1: and everything else. So I feel like and I'm a
Speaker 1: good illustration of the best of the best. Right, So
Speaker 1: that's that's that. Thanks. So, but at what point can we,
Speaker 1: like somebody like, let's take the word dope for example,
Speaker 1: can I reasonably use the word dope anymore? And I
Speaker 1: think I can, Yeah, because it was in your vocabulary
Speaker 1: when you were young, and what you can't say, you
Speaker 1: cannot say it, though, I like where you're going with this. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: So so to me, dope has been around many years.
Speaker 1: We were saying dope back in the eighties. It's made,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's kind of hung around and it's made
Speaker 1: to come back. So now it's like kids are saying dope, right,
Speaker 1: So I can still say dope. I agree, I can't
Speaker 1: say lit. I don't feel comfortable saying it. I would
Speaker 1: never want to say that. I would much want to
Speaker 1: see you say that No, I don't say I don't
Speaker 1: say lit, I don't say fire. What are? What are?
Speaker 1: So let's come up with words that we can't that
Speaker 1: us the lower the older end of generation of millennials
Speaker 1: and generation next words. We cannot use one KK on
Speaker 1: your texts. You can't do it doesn't make any sense
Speaker 1: to me. And so there's a lot of in in texting.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of like shortened stuff too, like like
Speaker 1: are right now? Are? I think you could do RN tonight?
Speaker 1: I don't know what RN is right now? Like each HPU?
Speaker 1: How about you? You know those type of things? And
Speaker 1: why isn't h au? How about you? Why are? If
Speaker 1: we're abbreviating, can't we at least use proper grammar? M?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but but so lit, fire, KK? Is
Speaker 1: there anything else that jumps out? I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: cool enough for in touch with anything. Millennials. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've got a nine year old what Joey's what eight? Eight?
Speaker 1: So so they're getting into those ages, they're starting to
Speaker 1: say these words. Um, I'm just I'm just googling words
Speaker 1: kids used today. I have a friend who's twenty three,
Speaker 1: and it's like speaking a different language. So how about
Speaker 1: shade and shade on someone? Yeah, I think we're past
Speaker 1: that fire. Definitely one FAM now a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Using family a person's group of friends, but can also
Speaker 1: sometimes be used to reference just one member of the
Speaker 1: tight inner circle. What's up? Fam? If I ever say that,
Speaker 1: shoot me between the eyes? Um, definitely cannot say no
Speaker 1: excessive state of excitement hype now, but you can't say crunk.
Speaker 1: I think around has been around. Um, you're gonna look
Speaker 1: like a fool. But you can say crunk. Wait a minute,
Speaker 1: I haven't heard this one. Goals. This one is actually
Speaker 1: super easy. It literally means the same as goals normally
Speaker 1: would something to strive for, but it's used as an
Speaker 1: adjective rather than a Now you can think of it
Speaker 1: as meaning the same as desirable in most cases, like
Speaker 1: hashtag goals. People say that all the time, Like that
Speaker 1: we shouldn't say ashtag no, like like you know, Dean's
Speaker 1: got a sweet range rover goals like I want to
Speaker 1: get a sweet range over two, I think is the one.
Speaker 1: That's how you would say Okay, um a F I
Speaker 1: don't I don't feel comfortable using a F. But but
Speaker 1: as F as f U c K has been around forever, okay,
Speaker 1: and we've been using that forever. But I will never
Speaker 1: I don't type a F, but I will say the
Speaker 1: words out loud because that's been around. Um, clap back.
Speaker 1: Never heard of a snappy comeback? God, there's more. I
Speaker 1: know there's more. He kept teasing me, but he wasn't
Speaker 1: expecting me to clap back, not not alloud. Thirsty. Definitely
Speaker 1: can't say thirsty. I can't say thirsty. Savage, this this one,
Speaker 1: this one's been around, that's been around. I used that
Speaker 1: long before any of the way they're using in wrap songs. Savage, woke?
Speaker 1: What about woke? Woke? Yeah, I definitely can't say woke.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying woke. Old guys talking about words they
Speaker 1: can't use that. The kids use salt, they have salty
Speaker 1: around for Are you on best life? Are you on
Speaker 1: best life? Is that? I think we're on the same one. Um, basic,
Speaker 1: there's one we absolutely cannot say. Bay. You cannot say
Speaker 1: bab bay. Do you know that's an acronym? Yes? But
Speaker 1: what about boo? I Booe's been around for a long time,
Speaker 1: But I will not say boo. You know, you know,
Speaker 1: I know I'm actually, Joe, I'm actually getting I am
Speaker 1: getting tired of social distancing. I am nice. You know
Speaker 1: how I know that because I called my Alexa babe.
Speaker 1: I literally said thanks, babe, and it just rolled off
Speaker 1: my tongue. And I'm definitely, I definitely gotta get out.
Speaker 1: I'm definitely gotta get out. All right, good rules discussion.
Speaker 1: Um Tiger King, new episode, you guys see it. I'm
Speaker 1: done with Tiger King. Okay, I watched it and it's basically, um,
Speaker 1: Joel McHale, who I like, Joel mccal uh interviewing certain
Speaker 1: people from Tiger King. And now I've done it. I've
Speaker 1: watched it all and I will not. I don't want
Speaker 1: to talk about Tiger King unless it's we're talking about
Speaker 1: Joe's tattoo or Carole Baskan admits to killing her husband.
Speaker 1: That's it. So those are the only two times I'll
Speaker 1: talk about Tiger King, going what about it? Joe is
Speaker 1: not to get out of jail. I guess trying to
Speaker 1: have to. It's gonna be newsworthy if he gets out
Speaker 1: of jail. But um, the more and more it sounds
Speaker 1: like it doesn't sound like he's gonna be getting out
Speaker 1: of jail anytime soon. Um, but King, I've got one more,
Speaker 1: and we should have. I don't know if this is
Speaker 1: a rule, but let's pick a a jersey, a famous
Speaker 1: athlete for our thirty four episode. Now there's a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure to that. This is thirty four, by the way, Okay,
Speaker 1: list list I've got so I think the famous thirty four.
Speaker 1: I think it comes down to two, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: throw out some big ones. Franco Harris, Earl Campbell, Thurman, Thomas,
Speaker 1: Paul Pierce, a chimalized one. O Harris was thirty four.
Speaker 1: I thought Frank Harris was thirty two. Was thirty two?
Speaker 1: I thought he was thirty four. I thought thirty two
Speaker 1: as well. I think what about Charles Barkley. Charles Barkley
Speaker 1: was my next one. But I think the two big
Speaker 1: ones are Walter, Walter Payton, and Shock. Yeah, you know what,
Speaker 1: I Walter, I'm going Walter, me too. You're right. Franco
Speaker 1: Harris was two. M I got, I go Shock. So
Speaker 1: I think we need to Travis two out of three.
Speaker 1: I go Walter, I go Walter as well. Walter then Charles. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so this episode is the Walter Payton episode. If it is,
Speaker 1: so we'll start thinking about everybody. Come up with your
Speaker 1: thirty fives next week and we'll and we'll and we'll
Speaker 1: name it best COVID nineteen Internet content. The most recent
Speaker 1: thing you've seen go, it's not recent, but the one
Speaker 1: that I love the most is when the guy goes,
Speaker 1: you're in quarantine. You could either a stay inside home
Speaker 1: with your wife for the next six weeks or bake.
Speaker 1: Yeah good, that's probably my favorite. I saw one that's
Speaker 1: just kind of I saw one that was just kind
Speaker 1: of living with some girls in Italy playing tennis across
Speaker 1: the roofs of are like apartments or whatever. Did you
Speaker 1: guys see that one volley and the ball back and
Speaker 1: forth over their rooftop? That's pretty cool. I also thought
Speaker 1: one that was funny with uh with a grocery store
Speaker 1: manager in Australia. Did you hear about this one? A
Speaker 1: guy came back to try to return like rolls, the
Speaker 1: toilet paper and forty gallons of pants and and the
Speaker 1: guy just gave him the finger and told him to leave. Well,
Speaker 1: that's the people that are hoarding that stuff. Shame on you,
Speaker 1: because that's that's how we end up with this artificial
Speaker 1: demand and you know, take what you need and and
Speaker 1: then we won't have these issues. So you know, everybody
Speaker 1: gets into that mentality. The one for me I sent
Speaker 1: it to you guys is the guy playing Billy Billy
Speaker 1: Jean by Michael Jackson, and it's you know, it's the
Speaker 1: beginning where Michael Jackson making all those noise and he's
Speaker 1: and he's drinking hot coffee and every time he touches
Speaker 1: the cup, he's like hey, and he puts it and
Speaker 1: it's perfect to the music. So you gotta watch it.
Speaker 1: Just check out the gun back to that one. Good
Speaker 1: google uh coffee. Um, So She'sam is working hard again.
Speaker 1: Another I sent you guys the screenshot. I'm not bullshitting it.
Speaker 1: She's Am sent me another notification and I'll pull it
Speaker 1: up because I screenshot of it. We found it. We
Speaker 1: didn't find your She's Am on the twenties second of March,
Speaker 1: so we tried again. I got that on Sunday, April nine. Okay,
Speaker 1: they have been looking the Shazam elves have been looking
Speaker 1: for that song for three weeks, almost a month, and
Speaker 1: they finally found it. Well, thank you. I had that
Speaker 1: minding when he when he sent that and She's am
Speaker 1: the song that was on the last Dance episode that
Speaker 1: I was watching, and it didn't pop up. It didn't
Speaker 1: pop I'm not I'm not trying to bring it up.
Speaker 1: But the song it was like, you know, like the nineties,
Speaker 1: like early nineties raft song, and I wanted to know
Speaker 1: what it was and it didn't come up from wouldn't
Speaker 1: be waiting hear till they get back. Actually, you know
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen is I'm gonna get I'm gonna gonna
Speaker 1: get it. We couldn't find Travis, Travis Shazam, but we
Speaker 1: finally found it. Dean. I'll tell you why you didn't
Speaker 1: get it, why you're not gonna get it. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you why you're not gonna get it. Travis. You don't
Speaker 1: pay like Dean does. When when Shazam finds a song,
Speaker 1: it auto buys it, so they get paid twenty cents
Speaker 1: every time. So they're they're on the hunt, like we
Speaker 1: gotta find these for Dean. You're you just probably use
Speaker 1: the free version. That's right, right, You're absolutely right. I do.
Speaker 1: I do. They're not going to get back to me,
Speaker 1: so don't don't try to. I I believe that Shazam
Speaker 1: has elves and they're working for me. That's it. That's right.
Speaker 1: Leave it alone. Um, let's do, uh Joe. Any social
Speaker 1: distancing tips from the guy that I've got. I've got
Speaker 1: three tips for uh parents and three tips for nonparents.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make it quick because we're running the one
Speaker 1: time here. Parents. Lists they're huge when you're at home

Speaker 1: know what it is about kids, they love a list.
Speaker 1: It all gets done. Number two, Keep the kids in
Speaker 1: a routine, keep them up every day, keep doing homework
Speaker 1: at the same times. This is gonna be a kind
Speaker 1: of serious you know how serious m about being a
Speaker 1: parent and um checking on your kids emotional health, ask
Speaker 1: them how they're feeling about this and and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: So that's the serious stuff. The fun the fun stuff.

Speaker 1: yourself a boat or a jet ski. Follow me. I'll
Speaker 1: follow that with this. Get a motorcycle. You could just
Speaker 1: ride around town. You're away from people. Learn how to
Speaker 1: ride that motorcycle. You've been talking about it all these years.
Speaker 1: Just do it, man, it's great, the winds blowing in
Speaker 1: your face. Get yourself a motorcycle. Don't put anyone on
Speaker 1: the back. I agree that if if, if everyone look,
Speaker 1: I get it. Not talking about essential workers and people
Speaker 1: that are out keeping the world running so that we
Speaker 1: can all sit at home, but for the people that's
Speaker 1: sitting at home. If you don't come out of this
Speaker 1: with some new you know, some new whatever interest, some
Speaker 1: new skill, something um, then shame on you. And we're
Speaker 1: all trying to do that now. I you know, I've

Speaker 1: You know, I got a jump rope. I'm jump roping.
Speaker 1: I got resistance bands. I'm doing all these different things.

Speaker 1: so use it, use it. Use I've been playing guitar
Speaker 1: more and I tuned up the old Beach Cruiser and
Speaker 1: got it out on the road and again. So uh,
Speaker 1: and I started working out a little bit more. So
Speaker 1: good guys, I wouldn't. I haven't been doing anything, but
Speaker 1: I do. Have you mentioned the parenting stuff. It's like
Speaker 1: I told my wife. I told my wife about like
Speaker 1: we don't want my daughter watching the iPad, but I'm like,
Speaker 1: she watches us on our computers all day while we're working.
Speaker 1: I'm like, of course she wants to sit on the
Speaker 1: iPad and take it's so hard it really is. Um
Speaker 1: all right, the brain of Bland, you know, before we
Speaker 1: get into new Brain of you know, last week we
Speaker 1: talked about do cop cars have childlocks or are they
Speaker 1: great structured that way to where they're just they don't open.
Speaker 1: There's no option. And I got a d M from
Speaker 1: a listener who's also a police officer, and he confirmed
Speaker 1: at least in his in his experience, that they are childlocks.
Speaker 1: And he even said that one time he forgot to
Speaker 1: put the childlocks on and the guy in the back
Speaker 1: seat just got out on his own. He's and he
Speaker 1: said he wasn't trying to escape, he was just surprised
Speaker 1: that it opened. And and so police cars are just
Speaker 1: your standard childlocks, so they have to remember to keep
Speaker 1: the childlocks on. And he also said that the back seats,
Speaker 1: especially when there's a you know, a cage, um a divider,
Speaker 1: they're so cramped that you wouldn't want like normal you
Speaker 1: wouldn't drive around normal people um in the back seat.
Speaker 1: So but there you got the question was answered, Joe.
Speaker 1: So let's go new new brain of blending determined guy
Speaker 1: walking whatever ship he is going to do is gonna
Speaker 1: get done. Have you ever seen somebody walking down the
Speaker 1: street like I saw I started a couple of times
Speaker 1: where the guy was walking down the street with such
Speaker 1: a purpose. Like normally, when if you just go out
Speaker 1: for a walk, you just kind of like just regular.
Speaker 1: But every once in a while you'll see somebody that
Speaker 1: is walking and whatever they're walking to do that ship
Speaker 1: is gonna get done. Like there's a there's a walk
Speaker 1: like it's a it's a pace, it's an arm swing.
Speaker 1: It's like you know what I'm talking about, Like that
Speaker 1: person is going to do something and they're gonna get
Speaker 1: whatever it is, They're gonna get it. There's a difference
Speaker 1: between that and just going for a walk. If you
Speaker 1: have you seen that, there's there's the guy I worked
Speaker 1: with that and that's how he walks every time, and
Speaker 1: he is always getting stuff done like and he he
Speaker 1: could did and it's walk. There was a guy I
Speaker 1: was that way. There was a guy I worked with
Speaker 1: at the NFL. Every time you saw him coming towards you,
Speaker 1: whatever his issue was was the most important issue in
Speaker 1: the world. And it was like, oh here here comes Mitch,
Speaker 1: here he comes. Let's see what what the super Bowl
Speaker 1: is is? You know the stadium is on fire, you
Speaker 1: know something, it's whatever it was, it was the most
Speaker 1: important thing at that time. It's always walking, walking with purpose,
Speaker 1: with purpose everything we do all right, where we got
Speaker 1: jokes that in This has been good calls with Dean Glandino.
