Speaker 1 (00:04):
This is a podcast called twenty fives Stuck in Sports,
and they went a wi So, yeah, it's too bad,
but what did you expect. It's a podcast called twenty
five Whistles, twenty wine win. Hey guys, Me Solo and
net Kurtz on my left side especially. I was at
(00:26):
the batting cages yesterday and hitting baseballs too, by the way,
which I haven't hit baseballs in many years. And so I
go with a buddy of mine and we get there
and there's like twenty five ten year olds that showed
up five minutes before us, and so they have completely
taken over the cages with the pitching machines, and rightfully,
(00:47):
so the batting cages aren't really for adult men whatever.
There are some softball guys out there sometimes, but mostly yeah,
it's kids who are playing baseball. And so we get there,
so we decided we're gonna get a one of these rooms,
one of the areas where you can actually throw batting practice.
And so it's him and I. We borrowed a bat
and we got a bucket of balls, and so we're
(01:09):
throwing in swinging two things our bodies don't normally do.
And so yeah, left side of my neck is killing me.
My back's a little tweaked. But and I'll say it
now maybe I won't be so specific, but the All
Star weekend is in Atlanta, not this weekend, but next weekend,
and I will be participating in something where I have
(01:29):
to hit baseball as far. So that is what I'm
practicing for. And I guess more than practicing, I'm just
trying to get to a place where I don't get
there and embarrass myself. So it's kind of the goal.
But we did that yesterday. I'm a little bit sore.
And again I played rex softball last year. I played
in the MLB Celebrity Softball Game last year and that
(01:51):
was fun. Heck, I was MVP. That was awesome, really
really fun night. But having a baseball, like a fast
pitch baseball. So finally, after we threw a bunch of
batting practice to each other, we got into a machine
because I guess the kids left, and we put it
on sixty miles an hour and just swung away regardless.
(02:15):
I'm sores. Crap, I'm here, but I'm gonna try not
to embarrass myself coming up. And now I can give
you more details soon I'm sure. I don't even think
I'm supposed to say that, but it's in like a
week and a half, so I really don't think they
care what I say. But it will be in Atlanta.
If anybody's listening to this in Atlanta, and it's gonna
be that weekend, it's actually gonna be the Sunday. I
(02:36):
can tell you that of All Star weekend, and you
want to come out, would love to see you, would
love to meet you, that type of thing. So yeah,
that's where we are as of right now. I also
was looking at this least attractive hobbies for men to have,
and I think the reason that it popped up in
(02:56):
my feed is because I was probably doing a very
un attractive hobby for an adult man, which was I
was in a batting cage when there were kids all around.
So probably the bad of purpose though, right, But here
we go, the top fifteen least attractive hobbies two women
(03:16):
that men do. Number one is comic books, and I
don't have any comic books. I have friends that have
comic books. And I don't want to be terribly judgmental
about any of these, because I'm sure I have some
of these. I would like five or six, and I
stopped and thought I would just read them as I
did this segment and react to them. But women think
(03:37):
comic books are really nerdy. It's number one at thirty
three percent here on the list. Think about comic books
is much like baseball cards, and that may pop up later.
There's some real value if you get a good one,
you get an old one, you say, like, there's some
value in that. But also it's like comic books are
hurting anybody and also nerve. I'll say that because I
(04:01):
think I am a nerd. Also, nerds end up being
everybody's bosses in school. Oh you're a nerd. Oh your dork.
You're by yourself, you're reading your books. Yeah, they end
up being everybody's bosses. But I hear you comic books
at number one and number two. Costplay. Now, I watched
a TikTok video I think it was last night, where
(04:23):
there's this creator and he goes to these i'll call
them costplay fairs where all these people are dressed up
like video game characters. And I've seen them do this
on a few so it's not like I came across
this one time. But there was a dude dressed up
like recket Ralph from the cartoon, and he goes and
he has this huge tent and he's with this dude
who's dressed up like reckitt Ralph and the guy's foling
(04:44):
in character and he says, wreck of Ralph, will you
switch your costumes with whatever is in the tent? And
the guy's like, I don't know. I've been record Ralph
for like the past twelve years. Do I want to switch?
And the guys like it's up to you. But once
you switch, you don't get your other costume back, and
so the guy's like, Okay, let's do it. It's kind
of a fun video because the guy goes in the
(05:06):
tent and I don't even know who he came out as.
It was like some dog and he had a spot
over his eye and he was in it looked like
a Ghostbuster's uniform. I didn't know the cartoon, but I
thought the content was really fun. And you know, I'm
not gonna hate on anybody going to any costplay stuff
because if I were a Jersey to a game like
a little Bit That's gossplaying, it's like a tiny fraction
(05:27):
number three debating. Yah, I don't know a single person
who would say their hobby is debating. I know people
who are challenging and argumentative. I think I'm one of them,
and I kind of do it on the air, But
debating as a hobby, I don't know. Debating as a hobby,
I don't know anyone that does that. At number three,
I did see last night my wife and I went
(05:50):
to dinner and we were driving by the sign that
said trivia every Thursday night at Quirky's at like seven
thirty pm. And Corky's is a barbecue chain, and I
told my wife. I was like, I'll go if you'll go,
and I'd probably go anyway, but she was like, no,
think you don't think I don't want to do trivia night.
So I don't know if trivia pops up on this,
(06:10):
but trivia night and debating, I'm gonna put those in
the same kind of category. I love trivia and not
to super flex on everybody, but in seventh grade, I
was the captain of the twelfth grade quiz Bowl team.
That's right. And again, I know trivia and debating are
not the same thing, but I think for this they
(06:31):
kind of are. I think they fit in that same category.
At least I'm gonna put them in that category. But
it was like the one thing in my life that
I was good at where I naturally would just show
up and people knew that guy was good at that
because I was a seventh grader. I was twelve years
old competing against seventeen year olds. And when I was
in seventh grade, it wasn't like I was dominating seventeen
(06:52):
year olds, but I can mix it up. I was
like a rookie batting about two sixty five. His rookie
year two sixty five, two seventy hit about twenty four
home runs. Enough to where you go, man, respect and
bright future? And boy was at a bright future. I
was awesome at quiz bole. But that's the only thing
in my life really that I've been able to do
(07:14):
and do so well that my reputation preceded me. And
I would show up to quiz Bowl tournaments and people
would be like, Oh, that's the kid. That's pretty cool.
Thinking back, yeah, that's nerdy too, though. Next up is
drinking fourth on the list twenty nine percent. I don't
drink at all, but it does seem fun. And I've
(07:35):
said this many times that it sure does seem fun
that all my friends can just relax and have a drink.
Now I'm not saying that, and then I'm gonna start
drinking tomorrow. I don't think at this point I'll ever drink,
mostly because now it's like I got a really long
streak of never having a drink, but drinking at number
four as part of a hobby. Number five MTG. Now
(07:58):
this is where I stopped reading the list because I
wanted to do that a live and get my reaction.
I don't know what MTG is, so I'm gonna type
it into Google. What is MTG as a hobby? Confused
as what that means? Here we go. EMPTG stands for
Magic the Gathering, got it, which is the collectible trading
(08:19):
card game. As a hobby, it can mean a few
different things depending on how someone is into it. It's
a strategy card game where players build decks and battle
each other using spells, creatures, and magical abilities. It was
created in nineteen ninety three. It was the first ever
trading card game, and it's still wildly popular. It has
fantasy themes think wizards, dragons, and elves. MTG Magic the Gathering,
(08:42):
some rare magic cards are worth thousands of dollars. One
black Lotus card, the Holy Grail of MTG, sold for
over five hundred thousand dollars. That's keep people out of trouble.
I got no problem with it. Nerdy, yeah, but again,
I'm pro nerd, so when I say something's nerdy, that's okay.
We're a nerd. But yeah, nerdiest crap two, three, four five.
(09:04):
We're at number six on the list where twenty seven
percent of women say this is the least attractive. It's anime.
There are certain things that I realized are probably really good.
I've just never gotten into them because I don't have
the interest. But I also respect the fact that they're
probably really good based on it's worldwide popularity. I would
like to walk through some of them. Soccer. Everybody loves
(09:29):
soccer that has had soccer exposure from an early age.
It is the biggest sport in the world, right not
for me. Didn't play growing up. I grew up in
rural Arkansas. We didn't have soccer. We didn't have a
soccer team. We had a football team, we had a
basketball team, we had a baseball team, but we did
not have our home baseball field we had to go
play our home games at a school called Jesseville's Field,
(09:53):
and they made fun of us for it because we
were too poor to have our own field. But we
did have those three sports. We did have a track team,
except we did not have a track and mostly it
was off season football and coach Gandalf made us run track.
And if we didn't run on the track team, we
did play baseball. We did have to do district because
baseball is usually over by district. We didn't have track team,
(10:17):
so we didn't have soccer for sure, But I do
understand that soccer is amazing, even though to me it
is not amazing. Another one of those the Sopranos. Never
seen an episode. I know how it ends, but I've
never seen an episode. But you know what, it's probably
(10:37):
awesome if you start from the beginning and watch it.
I'm sure that back then and probably even today, it
is awesome. So many people love it that I trust
and swear by the same thing with Godfather, similar as
vib right, that it's probably awesome, and I just don't
understand it. And I'm going to put anime in that
category wildly popular. I'd put it in the category with
(11:01):
comic books and cosplay. Mostly these women are finding nerds unattractive,
which kind of sucks because I'll say it again, nerds
end up being the boss. But anime comes in at
number six on the list. Dragon Ball is the only
anime that I can think of. I'm sure there's more.
Is Power Rangers anime? No that's not that's humans. Is
(11:26):
there a Power Rangers anime? Again? If I go to
Google and I say, what are the most popular anime
series of all time? Let's learn something together. Here, here
we go, dragon Ball, dragon Ball Z at number one.
(11:48):
They say that's the gateway anime for millions. I'm gonna
say this wrong, guy, So if you're an anime freak,
respect But to sorry Naruto, it's the Coming of Age
Ninja Saga number three one piece, it's a pirate adventure
still going strong with over one thousand episodes. Oh, Pokemon
(12:09):
was the one. That's the one that I probably should
have known. Yeah, I know what that is. And then
number five Attack on Titan. So those are the biggest
anime of all time or animes or anime show. However
you say that number seven makeup, I don't know what
that means. As a hobby that would make up be
(12:32):
a hobby unless you were dressing like a woman. But
that's is I don't know if that's a hobby, I
don't know. I want to get that one. Next up
is crypto. Totally understand how women could be annoyed with
crypto bros. By the way, I don't know anybody that's
made me real money off crypto, like I've made some
money off crypto, except I've never cashed it out. And
(12:53):
the only reason I made money off crypto was six
years ago. I put a couple thousand dollars in because
it was the thing, and I forgot about it, and
I put it in an account and I just forgot
And then I opened it up a year and a
half or so ago and it had times six or seven.
(13:13):
But if I were if I had been involved in
it all time, I would have sold it at some point.
So I know nothing about crypto except what I've learned
in the past few years, and I've been very fortunate
that I bought it and forgot it. Next step of cigars,
Guys that are obsessed with cigars smoking anything just seems
gross to me, and no judgment on the moral part
(13:35):
of smoking anything, I really have. I don't care what
you do in your own time, lungch you're not hurting
animals or kids, and you're generally nice to other people.
All good smoking stuff gross and with a cigar. I
could be wrong here. I've never smoked a cigar. I
never smoked a cigarette. I've never smoked anything. But you
(13:59):
don't like inhale, right, don't you just go? Is that
what it is? My cigar culture is very weak. Right
next up clubbing. So what I'd say to this is,
(14:20):
I think he's number eleven. I think if you're over
like twenty six and you're still going to the club,
there's a mark of like twenty four. Anything past that,
you start to go back down the mountain of coolness.
But I then going to the club's cool. Twenty Some
clubs can't get in unto twenty one, probably most, but
(14:42):
twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four still cool.
Twenty five is fine, But I'm saying it then stops
going climbing up the mountain to that yodler homey you
know it is coming back down the other side of
the mountain. So I would say clubbing at twenty five
starts to get less cool twenty six, more so less
twenty seven. If you're like thirty three and you're in
(15:04):
the club, I get why women are not attracted to that.
Weed is next, and I think that's probably if that
is your identity. There are people that we know that
make weed a massive part of their identity. That's what
they're known for. So I would say weed funko makes
the list. I don't know what that is. I have
(15:24):
funko pops. I have a few of them. I have
six behind me right now. Three signed by Chris Stapleton,
three signed by Dolly Parton, and they were both very
nice to sign them because I use them to auction
off or give as part of any sort of charity
initiative that I do. Not any but some. But I
bought them on eBay, the Christapleton or the Dolly Parton,
(15:46):
and then I just went to them more like hey,
will you sign this, and blindly they were like yeah, sure.
So I get the funkos. I have a Dan Marino
funko pop. But is that a culture? Is funko a culture?
If so? I don't know want in funko culture. I
just know people who have the occasional funko pop. I've
actually got a couple of myself. Two. There are four
(16:07):
left arguing online at twelve point three percent. My assumption
is that means people that are weirdos and freakos on
Reddit and just get on and troll people. Porn. Yeah.
The thing about porn as a least attractive hobby is
(16:29):
most dudes who are into it don't share their into it,
which I think is why it's not higher on the list.
I think it'd be number one if more dudes are like, yeah,
I'm gonna be honest, this is how much I'm into it.
But because most dudes are kind of ashamed of it,
it's way down the list. Gambling and I'm not sure
(16:51):
what number one on Let's see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
and number fifteen. It's gambling, and again I think this
is one two that for the most part, people who
gamble a lot don't often share how much they actually gamble.
I feel like I have a very healthy relationship with it.
(17:12):
You know. One of the major sponsors over the past
couple of years of twenty five Whistles has been DraftKings,
and I haven't. I know that if I get too
wrapped up in it, I will become completely consumed with it,
just like anything else, not even that it's just gambling.
But I feel like I have a fun relationship with gambling.
That I don't bet anything that I know I can't lose.
(17:34):
That doesn't mean I like losing. It also doesn't mean
I'm like, well said, how fun was that? Yeah, you
can still get pissed, but it never ruins my day.
And I think at a time I can tell you
back in the day for me two thousand three the
(17:55):
two thousand and eight, I played so much poker, like
hold Them and this is right in the boom as well.
I was reading books. I was so consumed with poker.
Now poker can be anything else that I often get
myself into. I was so consumed with poker that if
(18:16):
I wasn't reading a book on how to figure out
the pod odds, or if I wasn't reading a book
on watching tells on other players or playing against I
was reading books on the biography of Doyle Brunson. You know.
So I was really obsessed. And I was living in Austin,
(18:40):
Texas at the time, and there were these home games,
and so you would go and at the front door
you would buy your chips. They'd give you chips, and
it was mostly tournament play. They weren't cash games. I
rarely played in any cash games. I liked tournament play
because everybody started off equal on Once you were out,
you were out. It wasn't just to make a show
up with a bunch of money and I would lose
a bunch of money. Or if you played with in
(19:02):
cash games, why I don't like them for the most
part is people with more cash can just bully other people.
And if you're a good enough player, that doesn't matter.
But I wasn't a good enough player. I was a
pretty good player. I wasn't a good enough player. So
I liked tournament play. Everybody was equal. There'd be twenty
four people, eighteen people. We'd go in. We'd give them
two hundred fifty bucks or something, and then we'd play
our tournament. They give you a little deal. And sometimes
(19:23):
down in the basement, sometimes you're playing like in a
I really wasn't. There weren't many basements in Texas. In
different parts of the house. You'd be playing in different
rooms and So there were a couple instances where we
were playing in a basement or like a shed area,
but people would be in all these different rooms and
I probably played nine to twelve of those. Go to
(19:50):
somebody's house. You never know the person, it's always you're
in this small group. So the word got around, you know,
next Tuesday, we're going to be at this house. The
next Wednesday after that that will be at this house.
And it was almost never. I think only once or
twice I ever played the same house twice because people
didn't want to get busted for doing it. And why
it was illegal is because the house took a cut.
(20:10):
Just like Vegas, the house took a cut, and that's
what made it illegal. You can play poker with your
buddies and gamble if the house isn't taken a cut.
So we'd play, and I played a bunch and I
probably broke even maybe we came ahead a little bit.
I didn't keep a spreadsheet really, but I remember there
was a game I was going to one night. I
ended up not going and that game got robbed and
(20:33):
they made everybody take up all their clothes, so I
think everybody's butt naked and they robbed the place. Nobody
got shot. But that's when I was like, I'm not
doing house games anymore. So I started flying to Las Vegas,
and that was Lunchbox and I on a Southwest flight
about two times a month, and we'd finished the show
on a Friday morning and we'd fly to Vegas and
since we got that time back flying over for the
(20:55):
most part, we'd get there around two PM. I'd play
poker until Sunday mid afternoon, sleep on the plane, fly
back home, go back to work on Monday. And I
did Okay, I don't think I lost a whole bunch tour.
I was like, ah, I also don't think I won
a whole bunch. I did win an entire tournament one
time for tens of thousands of dollars, like won the
(21:17):
whole freaking thing, which, by the way, if you're a
poker player, you know the goal is always to win
the tournament, but it's really just to get in the
money and go as far as you can, because you
do need some very fortunate things to happen, even if
you're playing awesome. But that's what happened. I played a
whole tournament Treasure Island, which they may have torn that
because you know down now it's one of the big
boat in front of it. Yeah, I'm not sure, but
(21:40):
I remember Lunchblocks coming over and it was like noon
when I started, and him being there at like ten
thirty pm because he was going into the club, and
then him at the end of the night at like
four am coming out and I'm still playing. I was
down to like three people. I won the whole freaking thing.
It was awesome, but I got a little too obsessed
(22:02):
with poker. It wasn't so much the gambling part of it.
It was the competition part of it. And I will
bet on college football. Feel like I'm much better college football,
but I never bet so much that it will absolutely
ruin my day. Now sports will run my day. If
(22:22):
Arkansas loses a game they're supposed to win, it will
for sure ruin my day. That sucks. But yeah, gambling
is way down. But I'm gonna say for the same
reason that poorn is way down. I would imagine that
most dudes that are gambling aren't telling their ladies how
much they're actually gambling, or not even their ladies, but
the lady they may be dating a little bit, they're
not they're not actually sharing how much they're dating, or
(22:44):
I think women would be a lot more disgusted with them.
But also women can gamble to it. I'm just going
from this and the last one is Manosphere. I don't
know what that is, so I'm gonna have to google that.
What is manosphere? As far as a hobby is concerned?
(23:06):
All right? Google says the Manisphere isn't a hobby in
the traditional sense, like woodworking or magic the gathering. It's
more of a loose network of online communities focused on
men's issues, masculinity, and gender dynamics. That said, some people
treat it like a hobby and how deeply they engage. Oh,
it just like Andrew Tate, like I'll teach you how
to be a real man. I'll teach you how to
(23:26):
be an alpha. Those dudes are so lame. People treat
this and by this videos, reading forums, joining podcasts, debating
topics regularly like a religion. That's funny. I would have
never known that's what the manisphere is. People spend hours
consuming and discussing Manisphere content. They follow thought leaders Andrew Tate,
(23:51):
Jordan Peterson, et cetera. Some see it as part of
a self improvement lifestyle. Others engage in it for entertainment, debate,
or community subgenres. Red Pill focuses on power dynamics and
dating mgtow men going their own way, rejecting romantic relationships entirely,
(24:13):
PUA or PUA pickup artist dating strategies, and then men's
self help, confidence, money lifting, life skills. See, I have
no problem if it's about health and wellness. It's just
this is me speaking here, not me reading from Google.
It's just some of these are so toxic and a
lot of these guys that try to prove how masculine
(24:35):
they are, and they want to prove to you how
they can get any woman. They're actually gay, and this
is how they're making up for it or trying to
prove they're not. And there's so much misogyny in this.
It's like the And I'm not somebody who's gonna scream
toxic masculinity all the time, but there is a such thing,
and a lot of that happens here. A lot of
(24:55):
conspiracy theories too. So I didn't know what this was,
but I think I'm kind of passionate about it now.
It is important to separate the constructive parts like self
improvement from the darker corners. So as a hobby, I
guess it's just dudes trying to be more dude. Like dude.
That's wild. That's called manisphear. That's a pretty lame name
(25:17):
for something. But the whole point is not to be lame, right,
manis fhear? That's funny. I'm gonna answer this poll here.
I had this sent to me in basketball. Who is
the greatest NBA player of all time? My answer is
Lebron James. Even though I saw Michael Jordan. Why Lebron
(25:42):
and I had no time to go through and put
answers on this. I'm going to answer them off just
whatever comes to mind. I think people don't credit longevity,
and I don't think it should only be credited by itself,
But people don't credit longevity. Lebron's like eighty three. Now
I was forty. But he has played for so long
(26:02):
at such a high level. I think he was second
team All NBA this last season, second team or third
team at forty years old. Also, he can play point,
he can also play the five. Also, his competition's better. Now,
I'm not somebody who's gonna say You're so wrong if
you pick Michael Jordan. Because I understand most people feel
(26:23):
that way. I do think if I were getting to
draft one player of all time, I would go Lebron first,
because again, he can play all positions, he plays point go,
he is so large, he's Magic size, but more versatile
than Magic was. So I'm gonna go Lebron first. Michael
(26:44):
Jordan's second. I know Kobe is the answer for three,
but I may go Steph at three, Kobe at four,
Kareem at five. A lot of freaking Lakers there. Number two. Oh,
that's interesting. Steph Curry or Magic Johnson, who's the better
(27:05):
point guard? I'm gonna go Steph because I think Magic
wasn't really a traditional point guard. He did a lot
of great, awesome point guard things, and he was so
large as a point guard, which made it really hard
to put another point guard on him guarding him because
he can then just post him up. But I'm gonna
go Steph. I've watched more Steph. I think that's probably
(27:25):
the real reason I think recency biased because Steph is
still playing right now. Magic changed the game, for sure,
but Steph. Steph completely changed the NBA everybody's upset at
the NBA because everybody shoots threes all the time. That's
that's that's Steph. If you could build a team around
one NBA player today, who are you picking? Great question?
(27:51):
Probably Yannis, mmmm, Jokic, one of those two, one of
those non Americans. They're young enough, you're gonna get another
decade out of them, probably, and they're so dominant. I'm
probably gonna go Yokicic, No, I don't know, Okay, I'll
(28:14):
go Yokich then Yannis in that order. Best dunker in
NBA history. This is my last basketball one. A friend
sent me these and there's four in four different categories,
so I'm gonna read these here. I'm on vacation. There's
no content coming out right now. I'm gonna be honest
with you. I sat down to do this podcast because
as I was looking through the podcast that I was
(28:34):
listening to that I always listen to, because I definitely
have a series in a formula of what I listened
to on what days, if it's Bill Simmons or Rosillo
or mostly sports or pardon my take, like I know
what days they come out, or macro dosing like I
love those podcasts. I know what days they come out,
(28:55):
and now that it's the fourth July week and everybody's
like often to the best of it's really thrown me
for a So I came down here to the microphone
and I was just gonna do that one segment and
maybe attach it to something in a show next week.
But as I was doing it, I started to realize,
maybe people are listening to this who are also upset
they're not getting new content. So I'll just go ahead
and do an episode here. I don't know if it's
(29:16):
gonna be an hour. I think we're thirty minutes in now,
but I'll answer these questions foreign football. Who is the
greatest NFL quarterback of all time? The answer has to
be Tom Brady, I feel because of the rings, so
I think that's the answer. And I think that's a
(29:36):
bit unfair to say, because I didn't do that with
Michael Jordan Lebron, so it's a bit hypocritical. But I'm
still gonna say Tom Brady. If you were to say,
in a vacuum, you pick a single quarterback and they're
your quarterback, I'm picking Peyton Manny. But Tom Brady is
(29:56):
the greatest quarterback of all time. Tom Brady won with
a different set of characters, like he made people great
and I think it was nineteen ninety one Michael Jordan
won his first title and it wasn't no Scottie Pippen
got there, Like I don't think he ever won a
title without Pippin where Brady did win a championship without
insert whomever. But again, it's hypocritical me to say that.
(30:19):
But yeah, I'm gonna go. I'll go Brady the best
college football program of all time. Alabama sucks. It sucks
being an Arkansas fan right now. Not that it's been
the greatest Easter basket ever because we don't win. I've
(30:42):
never seen a football national championship. I've seen us get
close ninety nine. Had do we not fumbled, we would
have beat Tennessee, been undefeated going into the last game
of the year, won that we'd have been playing for
national championship. Yeah, but I've not seen a whole lot
of awesome Arkansas seasons. When Bobby Petrino was our head coach,
(31:03):
we had a few really really great seasons in a row,
and that was the greatest time to be an Arkansas fan.
And it was amazing and then the whole motorcycle wreck.
So it's tough for me to pick a different program,
especially one that's close in proximity, especially one that has
the same letter A, especially one that is close to
(31:25):
being the same color. But Alabama's Bear Bryant is an
Arkansas native born and raised in Arkansas. Gotta love that.
So I'm gonna go Alabama because being from the South,
they are the greatest traditional southern college wall powerhouse. And
(31:46):
I think probably you have to look like Michigan these
other schools, But I'm going to go with Alabama as
the greatest college football program of all time. And I
think a lot of that is geography bias, or at
least some of it. Who's the greatest running back ever? Man?
The Barry Sanders stuff is so legit, but he never
(32:06):
played on a winning team and he was having to survive.
It was like he was swimming to save his life
every time he got the ball. I wonder how good
he would have been because I didn't watch him play
at Oklahoma State. Think about that, him and Thurman Thomas
on the same team. I didn't get to watch him
play with like a functioning offensive line. Also, I was young.
(32:30):
Even when he was awesome, all I got to watch
him do was scatter and try to get yards. I
wonder how good he would have been if he could
just run pretty much downhill, or at least kind of downhill,
and not left right, left, right, left, right, left right,
now go forward. So I'll probably go Barry Sanders, but
I think Ladanian Tomlinson's in the mix. I'm not gonna
(32:52):
put Emmett Smith in, although statistically he does have a
lot of the records. But man, I think that was
just a great team with a rate offensive line. But
it's hard you're comparing decades. But I'll go Barry Sanders
and LT. By the way, I have the right to
change my mind in any of this because I don't
even read these questions until I pulled this up. Finally,
(33:13):
in football, if you had to pick one NFL quarterback
to win a game today, who is it? It's Patrick Mahomes,
no doubt about it. It's possibly the easiest question. It's
Patrick Mahomes. Although I did just watch sped up the
AFC Championship game between Mahomes and Brady when Brady ends
up beating Mahomes and Mahomes scores a touchdown with like
(33:35):
I don't know a minute left, and Brady ends up
driving down and it's pretty awesome to watch those two
guys go out it. But yeah, so it's easily mahomes
now all right for baseball? And then four pop culture.
Best hitter in Major League Baseball history. I'm going to
go with Tony Gwinn only because the hitters that I
(33:56):
like the most like Tony Gwinn the most. He's my
favorite hitter's favorite hitter. And I think he was the
last guy to really give four hundred a look. He
didn't hit it, but was really the last guy to
give four hundred the foreigner batting it, which, by the way,
hadn't been done and still hasn't been done since Ted
Williams did it way back in the day. And I
think Ted Williams, And again I'm going for memory, no
(34:17):
research here. I'm pretty certain Ted Williams could have set
out the last game and had four hundred, but he
decided to go it bad anyway. So I'm gonna go
Tony Gwinn as the greatest hitter of all time. Should
steroid era players be allowed in the Hall of Fame? Yes,
because you've allowed some, but you're going to not allow others.
(34:43):
For me, I think that's probably the most problematic thing
about not allowing something. There are some Hall of Famers
from that Maguire, Sosa, Barry Bonds era, Clemens. Like you're
talking about pitchers, we're using them as well. And when
(35:04):
I say steroids, I'm talking about performance enhancing drugs, not
just drugs that make you look jacked, but drugs that
allow you to heal faster from an injury. Right, any
of that's performing or a performance enhancing So I think
players should be compared against other players. Also, you've let
(35:24):
players in that were on steroids, probably without even knowing
they were on steroids. So unless you did a steroid
check on every player, I think players should be compared
to the other players they played against. And does that
suck for the players that didn't do steroids, Yeah for sure.
But do I think they should be allowed in the
Hall of Fame? Yeah? I do. If you had to
pick one DH for a game, Ortiz, Bonds, a Rod
(35:49):
or somewhere else or someone else, I think Barry Bonds
is the most dominant player I've ever seen in a sport. Now,
I think Otani's probably creeping up now. Otani threw one
hundred and two. The other day he pitched two innings.
I think he do three pitches over one hundred miles
an hour. So Otani is doing what we've never seen before.
(36:09):
I don't think Otani is quite the hitter of Barry
Bonds is because Barry Barry Bonds, to me, he is
the greatest hitter of all time. As far as hitting
home runs with average, I think Tony wins the greatest
hitter of all time because you just didn't strike him
out and his average was way up there. But if
we're also saying power slugging bass hits, walks, they walked
(36:36):
Bonds as much as they threw to him. But I
think Otani could end up taking over Bonds. I do
think Bonds is the most dominant player I've ever seen
in his sports. I think Bonds, and I've said it before,
it was controversial, nobody agreed with me, but I think
Bonds was a better baseball player than Michael Jordan was
a basketball player. Boom Final Baseball one. What's the most
(37:00):
exciting World series you remember watching? That's easy is twenty
sixteen Chicago Cubs. Cubs fan my whole life, Arkansas, Keith
dihired Cubs fan. I was a Cubs fan from eight
years old, and I used to watch every game. I
think one year I watched like one hundred and fifty
three of one hundred and sixty two games. I never
(37:22):
won all one sixty two. I don't think they ever
showed all one sixty two, even though WGN did show most,
if not all, and they had a bunch of games
in the day. They used to not have night games
at Wrigley Field, which was crazy. They didn't have lights
there like in my lifetime. They didn't have lights at
Wrigley And I remember the game that the first ever
night game. I remember watching it. I remember Steve Young singing,
(37:43):
Steve Young the announcer, singing like yeah, like a tuxedo on.
He was singing on WGN because it was a night game.
It was like this, like the freaking Grammys. But I'm
a Cubs fan my whole life, right from the days
of Damon Barry Hill, Joe g' already catching Mark Grace
at first, Ryan Sandberg is second, John Dunstan a short stop,
(38:05):
I mean, third baseman. Go all the way back to
Vance Law in the outfield Dawson and right. I mean,
you could do pal Merrow and left if you want,
or you could do even like the center fielder. When
they had the Rookie of the Year and the second
place to Rookie of the Year, which was Jome Walton,
Dwight Smith, all the guys from ZBRONO. My favorite player
(38:27):
of was Mark Grace. So all that said, I was
very invested in the Cubs. And twenty sixteen went to
the World Series and I went to Game two and
watched the Cubs loose to Cleveland, and when it was
Game seven, and again you don't know a Game seven
is going to happen. But the CMAS had invited me
(38:49):
to present for the first time, and I believe that
was on CBS. I maybe get him my networks wrong,
but I don't think I am no, maybe it was ABC.
I don't know, changed so that doesn't matter the network.
But the CMAS had finally asked me to be a
part of their they're broadcast, to become present an award.
And for me, you know, I'd been in town four
(39:12):
years and my television curb really hadn't started to the
point where it got and so I was super honored,
and I was like, for sure, it was a big
deal for me to get on the CMAS and to
go up on national television and present an award. And
they asked me like weeks and weeks out and I
had to a few days before the show say I'm
(39:32):
really sorry, I am not going to be able to
be there, and they were like why. I was like,
because the Cubs are in the World Series Game seven,
and my whole life I've been Chicago Cubs fan. I'm
not going to miss it. And people looked at me
like I had two heads, but I was not going
to miss it. Like there were people just take a
half step back. The Cubs hadn't won a World Series
(39:52):
since nineteen oh eight. Before that that, I've been to
a World Series since nineteen forty five, Right, So you're
talking about history history that there were people who lived
an entire life and live to be old and died
and never saw the Cubs win a World Series or
heck even go if you were born in forty six
(40:14):
but you had died before sixteen, you never even got
to see him being a World Series. So I felt
like as a real fan, for me, that was the
most important thing to do was to watch that game
and then the rain delay hit and then the Cubs won.
It was awesome. It was awesome. So for me, that's
the greatest World Series ever because that one was so
personal to me. But what I really hope too, is
(40:35):
that I don't end up being that Cubs fan that
never got to see a championship with Arkansas football because
I don't feel like now we have the ability to
win a national championship. I don't feel like from athletic
director down, I don't feel like we're there because we
don't have money pouring in. That sucks. All right, Four
(40:59):
final questions here. These are pop culture debate style questions.
Here we go, what's the best sports video game athlete ever? Oh, okay,
this video game ever? But athlete man Bo Jackson and
Christian Okoye were pretty tough and techmobile back in the day,
(41:21):
and now I never actually had tech Mobile. Scotty, my
neighbor had a Nintendo. We couldn't afford a Nintendo, but
he had a Nintendo, and so I'll try to go
to over to his house and play Techmobile, or I
would get on his Commodore sixty four and play Yahoo Chess.
But if you could get the Raiders with Bo Jackson
or the Chiefs with Christian Okoye, pretty tough to stop.
(41:44):
Mike Tyson was pretty strong and punch out as well.
Shaq An NBA Jam pretty tough, but Shaq was on
Orlando if I'm correct again, I just opened these questions,
so I could be wrong. I think it was maybe
Shack and Penny. I don't know. Next up, most likable
athlete of all time three questions left. Probably Steph, especially
(42:11):
in the era of when we know about people because
of their social media and because there are phones everywhere.
I think there were very likable athletes back in the
day because we didn't know enough about them except for
what the magazines of the newspapers or the television shows like.
I think the Bash Brothers were super cool. As a kid,
Jose can say, call mart maguire. I didn't like the A's,
but I thought they were cool because I could hit
home runs, they had gigantic arms. They're very likable because
(42:36):
you only saw what they wanted you to see. But
in the age of knowing about an athlete, I think
it's probably gonna be Steph. If you don't like Steph,
you just don't like yourself as a person. Now you
cannot like what he's done to the NBA because it's
all threes all the time. But that's not like a
Steph problem. Like Steph seems like the nice I never
(42:57):
met Steph, but step seems like the nicest guy. So
I'm going to go Steph Curry most annoying fan base
in sports. I actually just did this on the episode
last week where I have at number one Kentucky basketball. Yeah,
so I'll do that. And then finally, if you could
(43:20):
bring one athlete back in their prime to play today,
who is it. I think it's probably And again this
could be a super recency bias because I just talked
about him. I remember Bo Jackson playing as a kid.
I remember the whole Bow Knows and Bo Didley the
guitar player, and Bo knows this, Bo knows that. And
(43:42):
there's the card where in the poster where Bo has
on shoulder pads and he has the bat over his
shoulders at the same time, and Bo Jackson was in
the home run derby Major League Baseball, which is super cool,
like he was that dude, and he was dominant at
two sports baseball, And there's a really cool video of him.
(44:02):
I think bo Jackson's like coaching with the White Sox
and there's another player and his son, and bo Jackson
was like, yeah, it was pretty good back in the day,
and the kid has no idea because the kid's like
ten years old. It's a cool video on TikTok. But
bo Jackson was so dominant, and I believe they were
playing the Bengals when he blew his hip out and
then he was never the same after that. I would
(44:23):
love to see Bo Jackson back in his prime uninjured,
because I think he's probably one of the greatest athletes ever.
But again that's a lot of me talking from what
I've been able to see in my life. I think
if you were to asked somebody who was like sixty,
they might say Mickey Mantle because he was so freaking
(44:44):
dominant at playing baseball. Now he didn't play both sports,
and I think Deon Sanders is another example of somebody.
But I think Dion was way ahead of his time.
I think there are other guys like Dion now they're
extremely athletic that could probably it's tough to say play
two sports, but if they would have focused on that,
(45:05):
probably I mean not that Dion wasn't like the one
percent of professional athletes, but like Bo Jackson was different
because he was that fast, but he was so much
bigger and thicker and stronger, yet he was still running
four to two. There are reports of a four to
bo Jackson, and again that's all handheld timer, no laser timers,
(45:29):
So I'm probably gonna go bo Jackson on that, and
that's it. I was watching this video, though, I'll end
on this of all of these either police officers or
people in the military who were getting tased, because you
(45:49):
can't officially have a taser if you don't know what
one feels like. And so it's just one person after another,
and a lot of them they're in there fatigue, They're
in there a ppleaching a form and two people are
holding them, one on each side, and it's like fifteen
to these in a row, and it's them just getting
taste because they have to feel it before they can
use it. That's always what I was told. That's always
(46:10):
why people had to do the pepper spray for my
friends that were in law enforcement, was that if they're
going to hold and spray some pepper spray, they have
to know what it feels like before they can actually
put it on other people. So I'm gonna play you
on this video of people just getting tased. That's military.
Is there's a bad word there, Sorry about that. That's police.
(46:37):
Here's military. Take the taser. That's a big there too.
That dude's like six foot five military military. She is
taking it like a no sound, no sound, she's looking
(46:58):
at it. She took that taser and she just looked
and she just stared and she's like, is that all
you got? Is that all you got? Now? When it
was over, she was like, whoa man, she crushed it.
I'll give you a few more. Here's police, please please,
(47:25):
I'd be peeing all over myself. Please. Oh he looks
like eat a sour lemon, please. Military dude. I watched it.
(47:47):
It's like a two minute video. I watched that thing
and they just got popped. All right, that's it. Thank
you guys. If you made it this far, you're a
fifty minute club. All right, we're gonna put this up
on whistles. I know that a lot of the by
Bone Show and the Bobbycast audience doesn't come over to
(48:07):
Whistles because it's mostly just sports. But if you made
it here, maybe some me a message over on Instagram,
say fifty minute club whistles during the break. Because I'm
gonna tell you why I did this. There's nobody here
with me. Had to push all the buttons myself, had
to record it, had send it off, had to do
all the stuff. But I did it because I know
(48:28):
what it's like to be looking for my podcast and
they're not there because of a holiday schedule. And I
hate that, and I hate it so much that I
wanted to for you guys that listen to us. Wanted
you to have something to listen to. All Right. You
guys may pop back, may not. If I do, it,
probably be a Bobby cast or something. But you, guys,
hope you have a great holiday week and we'll be
(48:48):
sure to see you next week, all right? Buy Everybody?

twenty five whistles
This is a podcast called twenty fives Stuck in Sports,
and they went a wi So, yeah, it's too bad,
but what did you expect. It's a podcast called twenty
five Whistles, twenty wine win. Hey guys, Me Solo and
net Kurtz on my left side especially. I was at
(00:26):
the batting cages yesterday and hitting baseballs too, by the way,
which I haven't hit baseballs in many years. And so I
go with a buddy of mine and we get there
and there's like twenty five ten year olds that showed
up five minutes before us, and so they have completely
taken over the cages with the pitching machines, and rightfully,
(00:47):
so the batting cages aren't really for adult men whatever.
There are some softball guys out there sometimes, but mostly yeah,
it's kids who are playing baseball. And so we get there,
so we decided we're gonna get a one of these rooms,
one of the areas where you can actually throw batting practice.
And so it's him and I. We borrowed a bat
and we got a bucket of balls, and so we're
(01:09):
throwing in swinging two things our bodies don't normally do.
And so yeah, left side of my neck is killing me.
My back's a little tweaked. But and I'll say it
now maybe I won't be so specific, but the All
Star weekend is in Atlanta, not this weekend, but next weekend,
and I will be participating in something where I have
(01:29):
to hit baseball as far. So that is what I'm
practicing for. And I guess more than practicing, I'm just
trying to get to a place where I don't get
there and embarrass myself. So it's kind of the goal.
But we did that yesterday. I'm a little bit sore.
And again I played rex softball last year. I played
in the MLB Celebrity Softball Game last year and that
(01:51):
was fun. Heck, I was MVP. That was awesome, really
really fun night. But having a baseball, like a fast
pitch baseball. So finally, after we threw a bunch of
batting practice to each other, we got into a machine
because I guess the kids left, and we put it
on sixty miles an hour and just swung away regardless.
(02:15):
I'm sores. Crap, I'm here, but I'm gonna try not
to embarrass myself coming up. And now I can give
you more details soon I'm sure. I don't even think
I'm supposed to say that, but it's in like a
week and a half, so I really don't think they
care what I say. But it will be in Atlanta.
If anybody's listening to this in Atlanta, and it's gonna
be that weekend, it's actually gonna be the Sunday. I
(02:36):
can tell you that of All Star weekend, and you
want to come out, would love to see you, would
love to meet you, that type of thing. So yeah,
that's where we are as of right now. I also
was looking at this least attractive hobbies for men to have,
and I think the reason that it popped up in
(02:56):
my feed is because I was probably doing a very
un attractive hobby for an adult man, which was I
was in a batting cage when there were kids all around.
So probably the bad of purpose though, right, But here
we go, the top fifteen least attractive hobbies two women
(03:16):
that men do. Number one is comic books, and I
don't have any comic books. I have friends that have
comic books. And I don't want to be terribly judgmental
about any of these, because I'm sure I have some
of these. I would like five or six, and I
stopped and thought I would just read them as I
did this segment and react to them. But women think
(03:37):
comic books are really nerdy. It's number one at thirty
three percent here on the list. Think about comic books
is much like baseball cards, and that may pop up later.
There's some real value if you get a good one,
you get an old one, you say, like, there's some
value in that. But also it's like comic books are
hurting anybody and also nerve. I'll say that because I
(04:01):
think I am a nerd. Also, nerds end up being
everybody's bosses in school. Oh you're a nerd. Oh your dork.
You're by yourself, you're reading your books. Yeah, they end
up being everybody's bosses. But I hear you comic books
at number one and number two. Costplay. Now, I watched
a TikTok video I think it was last night, where
(04:23):
there's this creator and he goes to these i'll call
them costplay fairs where all these people are dressed up
like video game characters. And I've seen them do this
on a few so it's not like I came across
this one time. But there was a dude dressed up
like recket Ralph from the cartoon, and he goes and
he has this huge tent and he's with this dude
who's dressed up like reckitt Ralph and the guy's foling
(04:44):
in character and he says, wreck of Ralph, will you
switch your costumes with whatever is in the tent? And
the guy's like, I don't know. I've been record Ralph
for like the past twelve years. Do I want to switch?
And the guys like it's up to you. But once
you switch, you don't get your other costume back, and
so the guy's like, Okay, let's do it. It's kind
of a fun video because the guy goes in the
(05:06):
tent and I don't even know who he came out as.
It was like some dog and he had a spot
over his eye and he was in it looked like
a Ghostbuster's uniform. I didn't know the cartoon, but I
thought the content was really fun. And you know, I'm
not gonna hate on anybody going to any costplay stuff
because if I were a Jersey to a game like
a little Bit That's gossplaying, it's like a tiny fraction
(05:27):
number three debating. Yah, I don't know a single person
who would say their hobby is debating. I know people
who are challenging and argumentative. I think I'm one of them,
and I kind of do it on the air, But
debating as a hobby, I don't know. Debating as a hobby,
I don't know anyone that does that. At number three,
I did see last night my wife and I went
(05:50):
to dinner and we were driving by the sign that
said trivia every Thursday night at Quirky's at like seven
thirty pm. And Corky's is a barbecue chain, and I
told my wife. I was like, I'll go if you'll go,
and I'd probably go anyway, but she was like, no,
think you don't think I don't want to do trivia night.
So I don't know if trivia pops up on this,
(06:10):
but trivia night and debating, I'm gonna put those in
the same kind of category. I love trivia and not
to super flex on everybody, but in seventh grade, I
was the captain of the twelfth grade quiz Bowl team.
That's right. And again, I know trivia and debating are
not the same thing, but I think for this they
(06:31):
kind of are. I think they fit in that same category.
At least I'm gonna put them in that category. But
it was like the one thing in my life that
I was good at where I naturally would just show
up and people knew that guy was good at that
because I was a seventh grader. I was twelve years
old competing against seventeen year olds. And when I was
in seventh grade, it wasn't like I was dominating seventeen
(06:52):
year olds, but I can mix it up. I was
like a rookie batting about two sixty five. His rookie
year two sixty five, two seventy hit about twenty four
home runs. Enough to where you go, man, respect and
bright future? And boy was at a bright future. I
was awesome at quiz bole. But that's the only thing
in my life really that I've been able to do
(07:14):
and do so well that my reputation preceded me. And
I would show up to quiz Bowl tournaments and people
would be like, Oh, that's the kid. That's pretty cool.
Thinking back, yeah, that's nerdy too, though. Next up is
drinking fourth on the list twenty nine percent. I don't
drink at all, but it does seem fun. And I've
(07:35):
said this many times that it sure does seem fun
that all my friends can just relax and have a drink.
Now I'm not saying that, and then I'm gonna start
drinking tomorrow. I don't think at this point I'll ever drink,
mostly because now it's like I got a really long
streak of never having a drink, but drinking at number
four as part of a hobby. Number five MTG. Now
(07:58):
this is where I stopped reading the list because I
wanted to do that a live and get my reaction.
I don't know what MTG is, so I'm gonna type
it into Google. What is MTG as a hobby? Confused
as what that means? Here we go. EMPTG stands for
Magic the Gathering, got it, which is the collectible trading
(08:19):
card game. As a hobby, it can mean a few
different things depending on how someone is into it. It's
a strategy card game where players build decks and battle
each other using spells, creatures, and magical abilities. It was
created in nineteen ninety three. It was the first ever
trading card game, and it's still wildly popular. It has
fantasy themes think wizards, dragons, and elves. MTG Magic the Gathering,
(08:42):
some rare magic cards are worth thousands of dollars. One
black Lotus card, the Holy Grail of MTG, sold for
over five hundred thousand dollars. That's keep people out of trouble.
I got no problem with it. Nerdy, yeah, but again,
I'm pro nerd, so when I say something's nerdy, that's okay.
We're a nerd. But yeah, nerdiest crap two, three, four five.
(09:04):
We're at number six on the list where twenty seven
percent of women say this is the least attractive. It's anime.
There are certain things that I realized are probably really good.
I've just never gotten into them because I don't have
the interest. But I also respect the fact that they're
probably really good based on it's worldwide popularity. I would
like to walk through some of them. Soccer. Everybody loves
(09:29):
soccer that has had soccer exposure from an early age.
It is the biggest sport in the world, right not
for me. Didn't play growing up. I grew up in
rural Arkansas. We didn't have soccer. We didn't have a
soccer team. We had a football team, we had a
basketball team, we had a baseball team, but we did
not have our home baseball field we had to go
play our home games at a school called Jesseville's Field,
(09:53):
and they made fun of us for it because we
were too poor to have our own field. But we
did have those three sports. We did have a track team,
except we did not have a track and mostly it
was off season football and coach Gandalf made us run track.
And if we didn't run on the track team, we
did play baseball. We did have to do district because
baseball is usually over by district. We didn't have track team,
(10:17):
so we didn't have soccer for sure, But I do
understand that soccer is amazing, even though to me it
is not amazing. Another one of those the Sopranos. Never
seen an episode. I know how it ends, but I've
never seen an episode. But you know what, it's probably
(10:37):
awesome if you start from the beginning and watch it.
I'm sure that back then and probably even today, it
is awesome. So many people love it that I trust
and swear by the same thing with Godfather, similar as
vib right, that it's probably awesome, and I just don't
understand it. And I'm going to put anime in that
category wildly popular. I'd put it in the category with
(11:01):
comic books and cosplay. Mostly these women are finding nerds unattractive,
which kind of sucks because I'll say it again, nerds
end up being the boss. But anime comes in at
number six on the list. Dragon Ball is the only
anime that I can think of. I'm sure there's more.
Is Power Rangers anime? No that's not that's humans. Is
(11:26):
there a Power Rangers anime? Again? If I go to
Google and I say, what are the most popular anime
series of all time? Let's learn something together. Here, here
we go, dragon Ball, dragon Ball Z at number one.
(11:48):
They say that's the gateway anime for millions. I'm gonna
say this wrong, guy, So if you're an anime freak,
respect But to sorry Naruto, it's the Coming of Age
Ninja Saga number three one piece, it's a pirate adventure
still going strong with over one thousand episodes. Oh, Pokemon
(12:09):
was the one. That's the one that I probably should
have known. Yeah, I know what that is. And then
number five Attack on Titan. So those are the biggest
anime of all time or animes or anime show. However
you say that number seven makeup, I don't know what
that means. As a hobby that would make up be
(12:32):
a hobby unless you were dressing like a woman. But
that's is I don't know if that's a hobby, I
don't know. I want to get that one. Next up
is crypto. Totally understand how women could be annoyed with
crypto bros. By the way, I don't know anybody that's
made me real money off crypto, like I've made some
money off crypto, except I've never cashed it out. And
(12:53):
the only reason I made money off crypto was six
years ago. I put a couple thousand dollars in because
it was the thing, and I forgot about it, and
I put it in an account and I just forgot
And then I opened it up a year and a
half or so ago and it had times six or seven.
(13:13):
But if I were if I had been involved in
it all time, I would have sold it at some point.
So I know nothing about crypto except what I've learned
in the past few years, and I've been very fortunate
that I bought it and forgot it. Next step of cigars,
Guys that are obsessed with cigars smoking anything just seems
gross to me, and no judgment on the moral part
(13:35):
of smoking anything, I really have. I don't care what
you do in your own time, lungch you're not hurting
animals or kids, and you're generally nice to other people.
All good smoking stuff gross and with a cigar. I
could be wrong here. I've never smoked a cigar. I
never smoked a cigarette. I've never smoked anything. But you
(13:59):
don't like inhale, right, don't you just go? Is that
what it is? My cigar culture is very weak. Right
next up clubbing. So what I'd say to this is,
(14:20):
I think he's number eleven. I think if you're over
like twenty six and you're still going to the club,
there's a mark of like twenty four. Anything past that,
you start to go back down the mountain of coolness.
But I then going to the club's cool. Twenty Some
clubs can't get in unto twenty one, probably most, but
(14:42):
twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four still cool.
Twenty five is fine, But I'm saying it then stops
going climbing up the mountain to that yodler homey you
know it is coming back down the other side of
the mountain. So I would say clubbing at twenty five
starts to get less cool twenty six, more so less
twenty seven. If you're like thirty three and you're in
(15:04):
the club, I get why women are not attracted to that.
Weed is next, and I think that's probably if that
is your identity. There are people that we know that
make weed a massive part of their identity. That's what
they're known for. So I would say weed funko makes
the list. I don't know what that is. I have
(15:24):
funko pops. I have a few of them. I have
six behind me right now. Three signed by Chris Stapleton,
three signed by Dolly Parton, and they were both very
nice to sign them because I use them to auction
off or give as part of any sort of charity
initiative that I do. Not any but some. But I
bought them on eBay, the Christapleton or the Dolly Parton,
(15:46):
and then I just went to them more like hey,
will you sign this, and blindly they were like yeah, sure.
So I get the funkos. I have a Dan Marino
funko pop. But is that a culture? Is funko a culture?
If so? I don't know want in funko culture. I
just know people who have the occasional funko pop. I've
actually got a couple of myself. Two. There are four
(16:07):
left arguing online at twelve point three percent. My assumption
is that means people that are weirdos and freakos on
Reddit and just get on and troll people. Porn. Yeah.
The thing about porn as a least attractive hobby is
(16:29):
most dudes who are into it don't share their into it,
which I think is why it's not higher on the list.
I think it'd be number one if more dudes are like, yeah,
I'm gonna be honest, this is how much I'm into it.
But because most dudes are kind of ashamed of it,
it's way down the list. Gambling and I'm not sure
(16:51):
what number one on Let's see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
and number fifteen. It's gambling, and again I think this
is one two that for the most part, people who
gamble a lot don't often share how much they actually gamble.
I feel like I have a very healthy relationship with it.
(17:12):
You know. One of the major sponsors over the past
couple of years of twenty five Whistles has been DraftKings,
and I haven't. I know that if I get too
wrapped up in it, I will become completely consumed with it,
just like anything else, not even that it's just gambling.
But I feel like I have a fun relationship with gambling.
That I don't bet anything that I know I can't lose.
(17:34):
That doesn't mean I like losing. It also doesn't mean
I'm like, well said, how fun was that? Yeah, you
can still get pissed, but it never ruins my day.
And I think at a time I can tell you
back in the day for me two thousand three the
(17:55):
two thousand and eight, I played so much poker, like
hold Them and this is right in the boom as well.
I was reading books. I was so consumed with poker.
Now poker can be anything else that I often get
myself into. I was so consumed with poker that if
(18:16):
I wasn't reading a book on how to figure out
the pod odds, or if I wasn't reading a book
on watching tells on other players or playing against I
was reading books on the biography of Doyle Brunson. You know.
So I was really obsessed. And I was living in Austin,
(18:40):
Texas at the time, and there were these home games,
and so you would go and at the front door
you would buy your chips. They'd give you chips, and
it was mostly tournament play. They weren't cash games. I
rarely played in any cash games. I liked tournament play
because everybody started off equal on Once you were out,
you were out. It wasn't just to make a show
up with a bunch of money and I would lose
a bunch of money. Or if you played with in
(19:02):
cash games, why I don't like them for the most
part is people with more cash can just bully other people.
And if you're a good enough player, that doesn't matter.
But I wasn't a good enough player. I was a
pretty good player. I wasn't a good enough player. So
I liked tournament play. Everybody was equal. There'd be twenty
four people, eighteen people. We'd go in. We'd give them
two hundred fifty bucks or something, and then we'd play
our tournament. They give you a little deal. And sometimes
(19:23):
down in the basement, sometimes you're playing like in a
I really wasn't. There weren't many basements in Texas. In
different parts of the house. You'd be playing in different
rooms and So there were a couple instances where we
were playing in a basement or like a shed area,
but people would be in all these different rooms and
I probably played nine to twelve of those. Go to
(19:50):
somebody's house. You never know the person, it's always you're
in this small group. So the word got around, you know,
next Tuesday, we're going to be at this house. The
next Wednesday after that that will be at this house.
And it was almost never. I think only once or
twice I ever played the same house twice because people
didn't want to get busted for doing it. And why
it was illegal is because the house took a cut.
(20:10):
Just like Vegas, the house took a cut, and that's
what made it illegal. You can play poker with your
buddies and gamble if the house isn't taken a cut.
So we'd play, and I played a bunch and I
probably broke even maybe we came ahead a little bit.
I didn't keep a spreadsheet really, but I remember there
was a game I was going to one night. I
ended up not going and that game got robbed and
(20:33):
they made everybody take up all their clothes, so I
think everybody's butt naked and they robbed the place. Nobody
got shot. But that's when I was like, I'm not
doing house games anymore. So I started flying to Las Vegas,
and that was Lunchbox and I on a Southwest flight
about two times a month, and we'd finished the show
on a Friday morning and we'd fly to Vegas and
since we got that time back flying over for the
(20:55):
most part, we'd get there around two PM. I'd play
poker until Sunday mid afternoon, sleep on the plane, fly
back home, go back to work on Monday. And I
did Okay, I don't think I lost a whole bunch tour.
I was like, ah, I also don't think I won
a whole bunch. I did win an entire tournament one
time for tens of thousands of dollars, like won the
(21:17):
whole freaking thing, which, by the way, if you're a
poker player, you know the goal is always to win
the tournament, but it's really just to get in the
money and go as far as you can, because you
do need some very fortunate things to happen, even if
you're playing awesome. But that's what happened. I played a
whole tournament Treasure Island, which they may have torn that
because you know down now it's one of the big
boat in front of it. Yeah, I'm not sure, but
(21:40):
I remember Lunchblocks coming over and it was like noon
when I started, and him being there at like ten
thirty pm because he was going into the club, and
then him at the end of the night at like
four am coming out and I'm still playing. I was
down to like three people. I won the whole freaking thing.
It was awesome, but I got a little too obsessed
(22:02):
with poker. It wasn't so much the gambling part of it.
It was the competition part of it. And I will
bet on college football. Feel like I'm much better college football,
but I never bet so much that it will absolutely
ruin my day. Now sports will run my day. If
(22:22):
Arkansas loses a game they're supposed to win, it will
for sure ruin my day. That sucks. But yeah, gambling
is way down. But I'm gonna say for the same
reason that poorn is way down. I would imagine that
most dudes that are gambling aren't telling their ladies how
much they're actually gambling, or not even their ladies, but
the lady they may be dating a little bit, they're
not they're not actually sharing how much they're dating, or
(22:44):
I think women would be a lot more disgusted with them.
But also women can gamble to it. I'm just going
from this and the last one is Manosphere. I don't
know what that is, so I'm gonna have to google that.
What is manosphere? As far as a hobby is concerned?
(23:06):
All right? Google says the Manisphere isn't a hobby in
the traditional sense, like woodworking or magic the gathering. It's
more of a loose network of online communities focused on
men's issues, masculinity, and gender dynamics. That said, some people
treat it like a hobby and how deeply they engage. Oh,
it just like Andrew Tate, like I'll teach you how
to be a real man. I'll teach you how to
(23:26):
be an alpha. Those dudes are so lame. People treat
this and by this videos, reading forums, joining podcasts, debating
topics regularly like a religion. That's funny. I would have
never known that's what the manisphere is. People spend hours
consuming and discussing Manisphere content. They follow thought leaders Andrew Tate,
(23:51):
Jordan Peterson, et cetera. Some see it as part of
a self improvement lifestyle. Others engage in it for entertainment, debate,
or community subgenres. Red Pill focuses on power dynamics and
dating mgtow men going their own way, rejecting romantic relationships entirely,
(24:13):
PUA or PUA pickup artist dating strategies, and then men's
self help, confidence, money lifting, life skills. See, I have
no problem if it's about health and wellness. It's just
this is me speaking here, not me reading from Google.
It's just some of these are so toxic and a
lot of these guys that try to prove how masculine
(24:35):
they are, and they want to prove to you how
they can get any woman. They're actually gay, and this
is how they're making up for it or trying to
prove they're not. And there's so much misogyny in this.
It's like the And I'm not somebody who's gonna scream
toxic masculinity all the time, but there is a such thing,
and a lot of that happens here. A lot of
(24:55):
conspiracy theories too. So I didn't know what this was,
but I think I'm kind of passionate about it now.
It is important to separate the constructive parts like self
improvement from the darker corners. So as a hobby, I
guess it's just dudes trying to be more dude. Like dude.
That's wild. That's called manisphear. That's a pretty lame name
(25:17):
for something. But the whole point is not to be lame, right,
manis fhear? That's funny. I'm gonna answer this poll here.
I had this sent to me in basketball. Who is
the greatest NBA player of all time? My answer is
Lebron James. Even though I saw Michael Jordan. Why Lebron
(25:42):
and I had no time to go through and put
answers on this. I'm going to answer them off just
whatever comes to mind. I think people don't credit longevity,
and I don't think it should only be credited by itself,
But people don't credit longevity. Lebron's like eighty three. Now
I was forty. But he has played for so long
(26:02):
at such a high level. I think he was second
team All NBA this last season, second team or third
team at forty years old. Also, he can play point,
he can also play the five. Also, his competition's better. Now,
I'm not somebody who's gonna say You're so wrong if
you pick Michael Jordan. Because I understand most people feel
(26:23):
that way. I do think if I were getting to
draft one player of all time, I would go Lebron first,
because again, he can play all positions, he plays point go,
he is so large, he's Magic size, but more versatile
than Magic was. So I'm gonna go Lebron first. Michael
(26:44):
Jordan's second. I know Kobe is the answer for three,
but I may go Steph at three, Kobe at four,
Kareem at five. A lot of freaking Lakers there. Number two. Oh,
that's interesting. Steph Curry or Magic Johnson, who's the better
(27:05):
point guard? I'm gonna go Steph because I think Magic
wasn't really a traditional point guard. He did a lot
of great, awesome point guard things, and he was so
large as a point guard, which made it really hard
to put another point guard on him guarding him because
he can then just post him up. But I'm gonna
go Steph. I've watched more Steph. I think that's probably
(27:25):
the real reason I think recency biased because Steph is
still playing right now. Magic changed the game, for sure,
but Steph. Steph completely changed the NBA everybody's upset at
the NBA because everybody shoots threes all the time. That's
that's that's Steph. If you could build a team around
one NBA player today, who are you picking? Great question?
(27:51):
Probably Yannis, mmmm, Jokic, one of those two, one of
those non Americans. They're young enough, you're gonna get another
decade out of them, probably, and they're so dominant. I'm
probably gonna go Yokicic, No, I don't know, Okay, I'll
(28:14):
go Yokich then Yannis in that order. Best dunker in
NBA history. This is my last basketball one. A friend
sent me these and there's four in four different categories,
so I'm gonna read these here. I'm on vacation. There's
no content coming out right now. I'm gonna be honest
with you. I sat down to do this podcast because
as I was looking through the podcast that I was
(28:34):
listening to that I always listen to, because I definitely
have a series in a formula of what I listened
to on what days, if it's Bill Simmons or Rosillo
or mostly sports or pardon my take, like I know
what days they come out, or macro dosing like I
love those podcasts. I know what days they come out,
(28:55):
and now that it's the fourth July week and everybody's
like often to the best of it's really thrown me
for a So I came down here to the microphone
and I was just gonna do that one segment and
maybe attach it to something in a show next week.
But as I was doing it, I started to realize,
maybe people are listening to this who are also upset
they're not getting new content. So I'll just go ahead
and do an episode here. I don't know if it's
(29:16):
gonna be an hour. I think we're thirty minutes in now,
but I'll answer these questions foreign football. Who is the
greatest NFL quarterback of all time? The answer has to
be Tom Brady, I feel because of the rings, so
I think that's the answer. And I think that's a
(29:36):
bit unfair to say, because I didn't do that with
Michael Jordan Lebron, so it's a bit hypocritical. But I'm
still gonna say Tom Brady. If you were to say,
in a vacuum, you pick a single quarterback and they're
your quarterback, I'm picking Peyton Manny. But Tom Brady is
(29:56):
the greatest quarterback of all time. Tom Brady won with
a different set of characters, like he made people great
and I think it was nineteen ninety one Michael Jordan
won his first title and it wasn't no Scottie Pippen
got there, Like I don't think he ever won a
title without Pippin where Brady did win a championship without
insert whomever. But again, it's hypocritical me to say that.
(30:19):
But yeah, I'm gonna go. I'll go Brady the best
college football program of all time. Alabama sucks. It sucks
being an Arkansas fan right now. Not that it's been
the greatest Easter basket ever because we don't win. I've
(30:42):
never seen a football national championship. I've seen us get
close ninety nine. Had do we not fumbled, we would
have beat Tennessee, been undefeated going into the last game
of the year, won that we'd have been playing for
national championship. Yeah, but I've not seen a whole lot
of awesome Arkansas seasons. When Bobby Petrino was our head coach,
(31:03):
we had a few really really great seasons in a row,
and that was the greatest time to be an Arkansas fan.
And it was amazing and then the whole motorcycle wreck.
So it's tough for me to pick a different program,
especially one that's close in proximity, especially one that has
the same letter A, especially one that is close to
(31:25):
being the same color. But Alabama's Bear Bryant is an
Arkansas native born and raised in Arkansas. Gotta love that.
So I'm gonna go Alabama because being from the South,
they are the greatest traditional southern college wall powerhouse. And
(31:46):
I think probably you have to look like Michigan these
other schools, But I'm going to go with Alabama as
the greatest college football program of all time. And I
think a lot of that is geography bias, or at
least some of it. Who's the greatest running back ever? Man?
The Barry Sanders stuff is so legit, but he never
(32:06):
played on a winning team and he was having to survive.
It was like he was swimming to save his life
every time he got the ball. I wonder how good
he would have been because I didn't watch him play
at Oklahoma State. Think about that, him and Thurman Thomas
on the same team. I didn't get to watch him
play with like a functioning offensive line. Also, I was young.
(32:30):
Even when he was awesome, all I got to watch
him do was scatter and try to get yards. I
wonder how good he would have been if he could
just run pretty much downhill, or at least kind of downhill,
and not left right, left, right, left, right, left right,
now go forward. So I'll probably go Barry Sanders, but
I think Ladanian Tomlinson's in the mix. I'm not gonna
(32:52):
put Emmett Smith in, although statistically he does have a
lot of the records. But man, I think that was
just a great team with a rate offensive line. But
it's hard you're comparing decades. But I'll go Barry Sanders
and LT. By the way, I have the right to
change my mind in any of this because I don't
even read these questions until I pulled this up. Finally,
(33:13):
in football, if you had to pick one NFL quarterback
to win a game today, who is it? It's Patrick Mahomes,
no doubt about it. It's possibly the easiest question. It's
Patrick Mahomes. Although I did just watch sped up the
AFC Championship game between Mahomes and Brady when Brady ends
up beating Mahomes and Mahomes scores a touchdown with like
(33:35):
I don't know a minute left, and Brady ends up
driving down and it's pretty awesome to watch those two
guys go out it. But yeah, so it's easily mahomes
now all right for baseball? And then four pop culture.
Best hitter in Major League Baseball history. I'm going to
go with Tony Gwinn only because the hitters that I
(33:56):
like the most like Tony Gwinn the most. He's my
favorite hitter's favorite hitter. And I think he was the
last guy to really give four hundred a look. He
didn't hit it, but was really the last guy to
give four hundred the foreigner batting it, which, by the way,
hadn't been done and still hasn't been done since Ted
Williams did it way back in the day. And I
think Ted Williams, And again I'm going for memory, no
(34:17):
research here. I'm pretty certain Ted Williams could have set
out the last game and had four hundred, but he
decided to go it bad anyway. So I'm gonna go
Tony Gwinn as the greatest hitter of all time. Should
steroid era players be allowed in the Hall of Fame? Yes,
because you've allowed some, but you're going to not allow others.
(34:43):
For me, I think that's probably the most problematic thing
about not allowing something. There are some Hall of Famers
from that Maguire, Sosa, Barry Bonds era, Clemens. Like you're
talking about pitchers, we're using them as well. And when
(35:04):
I say steroids, I'm talking about performance enhancing drugs, not
just drugs that make you look jacked, but drugs that
allow you to heal faster from an injury. Right, any
of that's performing or a performance enhancing So I think
players should be compared against other players. Also, you've let
(35:24):
players in that were on steroids, probably without even knowing
they were on steroids. So unless you did a steroid
check on every player, I think players should be compared
to the other players they played against. And does that
suck for the players that didn't do steroids, Yeah for sure.
But do I think they should be allowed in the
Hall of Fame? Yeah? I do. If you had to
pick one DH for a game, Ortiz, Bonds, a Rod
(35:49):
or somewhere else or someone else, I think Barry Bonds
is the most dominant player I've ever seen in a sport. Now,
I think Otani's probably creeping up now. Otani threw one
hundred and two. The other day he pitched two innings.
I think he do three pitches over one hundred miles
an hour. So Otani is doing what we've never seen before.
(36:09):
I don't think Otani is quite the hitter of Barry
Bonds is because Barry Barry Bonds, to me, he is
the greatest hitter of all time. As far as hitting
home runs with average, I think Tony wins the greatest
hitter of all time because you just didn't strike him
out and his average was way up there. But if
we're also saying power slugging bass hits, walks, they walked
(36:36):
Bonds as much as they threw to him. But I
think Otani could end up taking over Bonds. I do
think Bonds is the most dominant player I've ever seen
in his sports. I think Bonds, and I've said it before,
it was controversial, nobody agreed with me, but I think
Bonds was a better baseball player than Michael Jordan was
a basketball player. Boom Final Baseball one. What's the most
(37:00):
exciting World series you remember watching? That's easy is twenty
sixteen Chicago Cubs. Cubs fan my whole life, Arkansas, Keith
dihired Cubs fan. I was a Cubs fan from eight
years old, and I used to watch every game. I
think one year I watched like one hundred and fifty
three of one hundred and sixty two games. I never
(37:22):
won all one sixty two. I don't think they ever
showed all one sixty two, even though WGN did show most,
if not all, and they had a bunch of games
in the day. They used to not have night games
at Wrigley Field, which was crazy. They didn't have lights
there like in my lifetime. They didn't have lights at
Wrigley And I remember the game that the first ever
night game. I remember watching it. I remember Steve Young singing,
(37:43):
Steve Young the announcer, singing like yeah, like a tuxedo on.
He was singing on WGN because it was a night game.
It was like this, like the freaking Grammys. But I'm
a Cubs fan my whole life, right from the days
of Damon Barry Hill, Joe g' already catching Mark Grace
at first, Ryan Sandberg is second, John Dunstan a short stop,
(38:05):
I mean, third baseman. Go all the way back to
Vance Law in the outfield Dawson and right. I mean,
you could do pal Merrow and left if you want,
or you could do even like the center fielder. When
they had the Rookie of the Year and the second
place to Rookie of the Year, which was Jome Walton,
Dwight Smith, all the guys from ZBRONO. My favorite player
(38:27):
of was Mark Grace. So all that said, I was
very invested in the Cubs. And twenty sixteen went to
the World Series and I went to Game two and
watched the Cubs loose to Cleveland, and when it was
Game seven, and again you don't know a Game seven
is going to happen. But the CMAS had invited me
(38:49):
to present for the first time, and I believe that
was on CBS. I maybe get him my networks wrong,
but I don't think I am no, maybe it was ABC.
I don't know, changed so that doesn't matter the network.
But the CMAS had finally asked me to be a
part of their they're broadcast, to become present an award.
And for me, you know, I'd been in town four
(39:12):
years and my television curb really hadn't started to the
point where it got and so I was super honored,
and I was like, for sure, it was a big
deal for me to get on the CMAS and to
go up on national television and present an award. And
they asked me like weeks and weeks out and I
had to a few days before the show say I'm
(39:32):
really sorry, I am not going to be able to
be there, and they were like why. I was like,
because the Cubs are in the World Series Game seven,
and my whole life I've been Chicago Cubs fan. I'm
not going to miss it. And people looked at me
like I had two heads, but I was not going
to miss it. Like there were people just take a
half step back. The Cubs hadn't won a World Series
(39:52):
since nineteen oh eight. Before that that, I've been to
a World Series since nineteen forty five, Right, So you're
talking about history history that there were people who lived
an entire life and live to be old and died
and never saw the Cubs win a World Series or
heck even go if you were born in forty six
(40:14):
but you had died before sixteen, you never even got
to see him being a World Series. So I felt
like as a real fan, for me, that was the
most important thing to do was to watch that game
and then the rain delay hit and then the Cubs won.
It was awesome. It was awesome. So for me, that's
the greatest World Series ever because that one was so
personal to me. But what I really hope too, is
(40:35):
that I don't end up being that Cubs fan that
never got to see a championship with Arkansas football because
I don't feel like now we have the ability to
win a national championship. I don't feel like from athletic
director down, I don't feel like we're there because we
don't have money pouring in. That sucks. All right, Four
(40:59):
final questions here. These are pop culture debate style questions.
Here we go, what's the best sports video game athlete ever? Oh, okay,
this video game ever? But athlete man Bo Jackson and
Christian Okoye were pretty tough and techmobile back in the day,
(41:21):
and now I never actually had tech Mobile. Scotty, my
neighbor had a Nintendo. We couldn't afford a Nintendo, but
he had a Nintendo, and so I'll try to go
to over to his house and play Techmobile, or I
would get on his Commodore sixty four and play Yahoo Chess.
But if you could get the Raiders with Bo Jackson
or the Chiefs with Christian Okoye, pretty tough to stop.
(41:44):
Mike Tyson was pretty strong and punch out as well.
Shaq An NBA Jam pretty tough, but Shaq was on
Orlando if I'm correct again, I just opened these questions,
so I could be wrong. I think it was maybe
Shack and Penny. I don't know. Next up, most likable
athlete of all time three questions left. Probably Steph, especially
(42:11):
in the era of when we know about people because
of their social media and because there are phones everywhere.
I think there were very likable athletes back in the
day because we didn't know enough about them except for
what the magazines of the newspapers or the television shows like.
I think the Bash Brothers were super cool. As a kid,
Jose can say, call mart maguire. I didn't like the A's,
but I thought they were cool because I could hit
home runs, they had gigantic arms. They're very likable because
(42:36):
you only saw what they wanted you to see. But
in the age of knowing about an athlete, I think
it's probably gonna be Steph. If you don't like Steph,
you just don't like yourself as a person. Now you
cannot like what he's done to the NBA because it's
all threes all the time. But that's not like a
Steph problem. Like Steph seems like the nice I never
(42:57):
met Steph, but step seems like the nicest guy. So
I'm going to go Steph Curry most annoying fan base
in sports. I actually just did this on the episode
last week where I have at number one Kentucky basketball. Yeah,
so I'll do that. And then finally, if you could
(43:20):
bring one athlete back in their prime to play today,
who is it. I think it's probably And again this
could be a super recency bias because I just talked
about him. I remember Bo Jackson playing as a kid.
I remember the whole Bow Knows and Bo Didley the
guitar player, and Bo knows this, Bo knows that. And
(43:42):
there's the card where in the poster where Bo has
on shoulder pads and he has the bat over his
shoulders at the same time, and Bo Jackson was in
the home run derby Major League Baseball, which is super cool,
like he was that dude, and he was dominant at
two sports baseball, And there's a really cool video of him.
(44:02):
I think bo Jackson's like coaching with the White Sox
and there's another player and his son, and bo Jackson
was like, yeah, it was pretty good back in the day,
and the kid has no idea because the kid's like
ten years old. It's a cool video on TikTok. But
bo Jackson was so dominant, and I believe they were
playing the Bengals when he blew his hip out and
then he was never the same after that. I would
(44:23):
love to see Bo Jackson back in his prime uninjured,
because I think he's probably one of the greatest athletes ever.
But again that's a lot of me talking from what
I've been able to see in my life. I think
if you were to asked somebody who was like sixty,
they might say Mickey Mantle because he was so freaking
(44:44):
dominant at playing baseball. Now he didn't play both sports,
and I think Deon Sanders is another example of somebody.
But I think Dion was way ahead of his time.
I think there are other guys like Dion now they're
extremely athletic that could probably it's tough to say play
two sports, but if they would have focused on that,
(45:05):
probably I mean not that Dion wasn't like the one
percent of professional athletes, but like Bo Jackson was different
because he was that fast, but he was so much
bigger and thicker and stronger, yet he was still running
four to two. There are reports of a four to
bo Jackson, and again that's all handheld timer, no laser timers,
(45:29):
So I'm probably gonna go bo Jackson on that, and
that's it. I was watching this video, though, I'll end
on this of all of these either police officers or
people in the military who were getting tased, because you
(45:49):
can't officially have a taser if you don't know what
one feels like. And so it's just one person after another,
and a lot of them they're in there fatigue, They're
in there a ppleaching a form and two people are
holding them, one on each side, and it's like fifteen
to these in a row, and it's them just getting
taste because they have to feel it before they can
use it. That's always what I was told. That's always
(46:10):
why people had to do the pepper spray for my
friends that were in law enforcement, was that if they're
going to hold and spray some pepper spray, they have
to know what it feels like before they can actually
put it on other people. So I'm gonna play you
on this video of people just getting tased. That's military.
Is there's a bad word there, Sorry about that. That's police.
(46:37):
Here's military. Take the taser. That's a big there too.
That dude's like six foot five military military. She is
taking it like a no sound, no sound, she's looking
(46:58):
at it. She took that taser and she just looked
and she just stared and she's like, is that all
you got? Is that all you got? Now? When it
was over, she was like, whoa man, she crushed it.
I'll give you a few more. Here's police, please please,
(47:25):
I'd be peeing all over myself. Please. Oh he looks
like eat a sour lemon, please. Military dude. I watched it.
(47:47):
It's like a two minute video. I watched that thing
and they just got popped. All right, that's it. Thank
you guys. If you made it this far, you're a
fifty minute club. All right, we're gonna put this up
on whistles. I know that a lot of the by
Bone Show and the Bobbycast audience doesn't come over to
(48:07):
Whistles because it's mostly just sports. But if you made
it here, maybe some me a message over on Instagram,
say fifty minute club whistles during the break. Because I'm
gonna tell you why I did this. There's nobody here
with me. Had to push all the buttons myself, had
to record it, had send it off, had to do
all the stuff. But I did it because I know
(48:28):
what it's like to be looking for my podcast and
they're not there because of a holiday schedule. And I
hate that, and I hate it so much that I
wanted to for you guys that listen to us. Wanted
you to have something to listen to. All Right. You
guys may pop back, may not. If I do, it,
probably be a Bobby cast or something. But you, guys,
hope you have a great holiday week and we'll be
(48:48):
sure to see you next week, all right? Buy Everybody?
