Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Good Calls with Dean Blandino, a production of
I Heart Radio. I What's Up? Welcome to another episode
of Good Call, episode thirty six. I'm Bean. Blandino has
always joined by the Caucasian Rattles Saint Travis Hanson. Travis.

(00:23):
It's up that they makes me laugh every time. So
what's up now? I'm good, I'm good. And Joe Madrid, Joe.
Everybody's on location. Everybody's or they're at their own location
against social distancing. Joe. Joe is out in Arizona. What's
going on, Joe? Not much, not much. Um, let's get

(00:46):
into it. Let's get into it. Let's get started. I'm
done with Quarantine. I'm tired, I'm overant. I you know,
my nickname is Quarantine, and I think Quarantine is fed up.
I call it, like I said, I all, I keep
talking about Alexa like it's my girlfriend and I gotta
get out. So um yeah, she you know, like we

(01:13):
like actually like I snapped at her today, like I
asked her a couple of times to play the song
that she didn't get it, and I was like, and
I like literally snapped at her. And then I apologized
and we we've kind of made up. Um, I don't
like after the podcast, I may we may, I may
have a glass of wine with her and just kind
of hang out. I'm hoping, yeah. I mean, because she

(01:37):
knows everything, you know, she she knows everything. She didn't
know it all. So I, um, what's going on, Travis?
What's going on the world with NFL schedule? All right?
So I didn't watch the NFL schedule release? Did you
guys watch it? They? How did they present it? Well?
What was the whole idea behind the release? How would
they How did they do it? I'm sure they broke

(02:01):
it down into like the conferences and then it's like
the divisions and I, I honestly didn't see it. I
think it's it's a three hour show and that's just
too much. It's overkilled for me. I can just look.
I can just look online and see all the schedules
like that hours. So I know we're start for sports
for three hours to watch you know. Week eight, the
Browns are gonna play the Jaguars at one o'clock. Like, uh,

(02:25):
I don't know, but but I think a couple of
key points, Um, so international series there will be no
games overseas, so all the games are going to be
in the US. UM looking at it, obviously, there's a
there's a lot of flexibility because we don't know, you know,
if the season is gonna start on time or we're
gonna have to push back. UM, I think you know
we're potentially playing into February. Super Bowl is its scheduled

(02:50):
from February. There's there's a lot of ifs right now. UM,
but let's let's assume that the season, you know, it's
gonna it's gonna start on top. Was there any games
that that your eye that either you guys said, Hey,
that's gonna be that's gonna be a good matchup. There's
a handful of games that that caught my eye. If
you want me to start like the first one, I

(03:10):
was thinking that and and I say, you know that
the fox Um executive you maybe have spoken to them,
Maybe you haven't. Um, they just have to be ecstatic
with with what they got with the Week one matchup
for America's Game of the Week Week one is is
Breeze at at Brady Saints at Buccaneer. Firing up that
NFC South battle that that we're all looking forward to

(03:33):
it's great. And then also the week one, you've got
the Cowboys coming to town. Hopefully fans can go because
I think that would be an amazing game at so
far opening that would be the new stadium Cowboys Grams
new stadium. That was one of the games that I
have a high on. Hopefully that'll be the stadium will
be you know ready. I think it's supposed to be

(03:53):
ready off the time, but who knows if that's gonna
be an empty stadium, and it just kind of takes
the air out of a new stadium opening. Um. And
but definitely the Cowboys, the one, you know, the one
Viking Saints on Christmas Day. That's interesting obviously that it's
been a matchup that has been left right. Two out
of the last three years, the Vikings have ended the

(04:15):
Saint season of the last play of the game. And uh,
and so that, you know, Christmas Day, I don't know who.
I'm hoping that's not a Fox game because it is
a Fox game, It's it's a Thursday night football special editions. Um,
because Christmas is a Friday this year, so work I'm
thinking Pereira will be at that game. Yeah, he'll be

(04:37):
at that game. And we'll we'll be able to spend
Christs at home. Right, Yeah, so we'll see, you know,
the couple of a couple of I was looking at
a couple of matchups that maybe I don't know, maybe
I'm thinking I'm going back, I'm feeling nostalgic. But but
to that jumped out of me were Steelers Cowboys Week nine,

(04:57):
because that's just it's like those two teams been right,
America's team and the Steelers at such a big fan
base that obviously that's the historic rivalry even though they're
not in even the same conference. But Steelers Cowboys, to me,
all I can think of is like the seventies and
the eighties and even into the nineties, uh with with
Steelers Cowboys. Um, I mean I remember, you know we

(05:21):
kifteen something that football forty Niners Cowboys. I mean, I
remember a time when that was the game, right, Forty
Niners Cowboys was the game in the NFC. You talk
about in you know, the late eighties, early nineties when
you know the Cowboys, you know, when Jimmy Johnson came
on board and they got eight men and Emmett and
Michael and the forty Niners. That Jerry Rice and and

(05:42):
Montana and then Steve Young. That game was the game,
like that was the you know that team. It was
the NFC championship game, that was the super Bowl. One
of those two teams is gonna win. It was always
a big game, like the game the candle Stick. You
think of Steve Young and it was muddy and sliding
through the mud. Oh yeah, yeah. You think about so
many great memories of that, that matchup. You think back

(06:04):
to Catch even further back with Dwight Clark. I just
remember so many of those. That's definitely a game and
then and then this is one. I feel like it's
kind of sneaky. I don't think if you looked at
the schedule as a casual fan, you would necessary this
would jump off the page. But I like this game.
Titans Ravens a week eleven. I mean, I think these

(06:26):
these two teams obviously have a chance to Ravens had
the best record UM in in the league last year
and obviously fell short in the playoffs too, you know
the Titans, and I think it's gonna be um. Titans
are an upcoming team obviously with um you know, with
signing Ryan Tannehill, long term. We'll see if he can

(06:47):
duplicate what he did last year. And uh, I think
I think that's gonna be a great matchup. You know,
I looked at it. I was looking at all the
Bucks games. You got Bucks Saints, You've got Bucks Chiefs.
You know I'm going home. I'm looking Tom Brady. Now, yeah,
I think everybody's going to kind of lean towards Obviously

(07:07):
the Bucks are gonna be Uh. I didn't see how
many games they got on in prime time, but that's
a that's a big draw. Now, obviously, I was gonna
ask you before, before we get to this question, just
do you know what the max um prime time games
the team can have is? It's five. I didn't know.

(07:27):
I thought I heard that somewhere. I thought I heard
that somewhere. I know each team. I knew each team
Masks have at least one prime time game. Um, but
I don't know. I have to look and see what
the what the max is. Obviously, you know teams, I
think most teams, if you talk to coaches, you talked
to players, they don't like prime time games. I know

(07:49):
you know from an a fishing stampo, we never like
prime time games. You're sitting around all day if you're
on the East Coast and you have to wait until
you know an eight went tick off. Um, that's a
long time to sit around during the day. Everybody's their
creatures of habit. They like that structure. They want to
play early Sunday, get the game in, get it over with,

(08:10):
and and and move on. And that's how you know. Coaches, players, officials,
most of them will tell you that. And so playing
on part time now there's the other side of everybody
gets to see you. You can make kind of a
name for yourself, those types of things. But I would
guarantee you guys like Tom Brady and and and superstars
in the league. You know, they don't need to make
a name for themselves. They would probably rather just play

(08:32):
at one o'clock on Sunday. But um, sure, it definitely creates.
It creates travel issues and things like that. You're playing.
You know, you could have an early game in the
following week on Sunday and you're playing well into Sunday
evening in late you know, on the East Coast, you
could be playing until Monday morning and uh, now you
gotta turn around. If it's on the road, that type

(08:53):
of thing. It's just it just creates create tissues with
the schedule. Yeah, I mean I've heard circumstantitions where teams
are getting after four in the morning their time after
after a Monday night game and then you know you
can't have you have you have Tuesday off maybe, but
then you gotta get right back to it Wednesday and
it's a quick turnaround. Um. So I counted up the
prime time games and teams with five prime time games

(09:16):
at the Cowboys forty Niners, which those who makes sense.
They're just a huge draw. Cowboys are so average, but
they still have tons of fans in tons of they
always do a huge ratings. Packers another team that's that
has a huge fan base. The Bucks got five times
primetime games. Ravens makes sense. They were awesome last year,
fourteen into the Chiefs obviously your returning champions. And then

(09:39):
the Patriots also got five. Yeah, that's interesting. I think
I think the Patriots still have such I think everybody's
gonna tune in to see just how the Patriots do
without breaks. You know, it's gonna I think there's there's
a there's definitely you know, it's there's a big fan
base obviously more more geographical, with the Patriots obviously ignored

(09:59):
the they've been so good though, I wonder, I wonder
if the Patriots are gonna be you know, in fifteen
twenty years, they're gonna be like the Cowboys or the
Dealers in the seventies and the eighties, um, where kids
growing up the Patriots were so good even if you
lived in You live in Kansas, so you live in Florida,
the Patriots were. If you're watching NFL postseason, you're watching

(10:22):
the Patriots, you're watching Super Bowls. Chances are you're watching
the Patriots. And kids grow up that way, and I
think you're gonna see potentially Patriots fans kids in there.
You know, when they grow up in their twenties and thirties,
they're gonna be Patriots fans even though they live all
over the country. Um, but I think, yeah, I think
people are definitely gonna still tune in. But uh, you know,
the bus is obviously if if the if Gamis is

(10:43):
still on the bus and there's no Brady, they're not
getting five you know, they're getting sight. Yeah, And uh,
but I am you know, I think Jamie's that's a
good spot for him in New Orleans, and I guess
he had the lasix surgery and who knows, you know,
maybe he could. He's still what, he's just fifth year
in the league. He's so he's so young, Um, in

(11:06):
his in his career. Breeze isn't gonna be around forever.
So maybe maybe he fits and he and he learned
some things from Breeze and maybe he becomes the guy,
you know, because he's definitely talented. Um. I thought he
showed a lot of maturity with that, with that signing,
he's taking a pretty small deal, you know, respectively. And
and and to go in there and say he wants
to learn from two of the best, you know, that's

(11:27):
that's to me, shows he's he needs to learn a
little bit more. He he just needs to stop posting
workout videos online, Like he just how about Danne Newton's
workout videos? Does he even want to play? I haven't
seen cams? What was cams? Oh, he's just got these
like beautiful like montages shot in black and white with

(11:48):
slow motion. And is he doing like is he like
the Rocky three workout for the first Clubber last fight,
like everything was just like oh cool and nice and
and m T was in like a basement gym fromwhere
in Chicago doing pull ups and and and Rocky was
on his motorcycle with Adrian on the back. Um, I

(12:09):
don't know. I don't know either, but there's so I
was gonna stay a couple of other games that I
thought looked awesome, Like you got Week three Chiefs at
Ravens on a Monday night. That'll be yah, that'll be
an amazing act up. I feel like, well, the Monday Night,
the Monday Night played is is is really good. And

(12:30):
I think that you know, people are talking about with
the new TV deal and that you know, is ABC
want to get back in the mix and put those
games on ABC. And and uh, it's gonna be interesting
to see how that all plays out because the Monday
Night and again talk about Monday Football. You you're gonna
have a new crew. I mean, you're gonna have a
new ESPN that staid it's gonna be from internal, but
you know, Booker McFarland and Joe test Introl will not return,

(12:54):
So you're gonna have a new You're gonna have a
new broadcasting crew. Um with ESPN Monday and Football, it
would be interesting to see who who that is and
how that plays out. Yeah, that's that's good to see
those guys are out. I didn't like test. That's great
to see guys losing their job. That's nice. That's not
what I mean. That's not what I mean. I find
it's fine. Ready for someone different. I didn't like Booger,

(13:18):
I didn't. I didn't think Tessa Tour was the guy
for that job. I thought a college football guy because
the excitement level is just a little bit too much
for me. Like, here's a pretty yard gage, can you
believe it? Yeah, he's excited. He does get excited. But
um a, Joe, are you alive? Okay? Thanks? Just checking

(13:39):
on you. I want to make sure I'm breathing. Did
you have your life to learn with you? You know?
I just want I'm really enjoying listening to you guys
talk about football and how excited you are about the
schedule coming up, and all the day get too and
thinking about okay, return to football. What does that look like?
I think you know the NFL we talked about, right, so, Bundesliga,

(14:01):
which is the German the top German um soccer league
that's coming back on May. I know, the NFL will
probably look at that and all of these professional sports
leads everybody's in the same boat. I think the NFL
will probably you know, learned you know. UFC two forty
nine just went off. You know, it seemed to be
we'll talk about that a little later. It seemed to
go off really without without too much problems. You know,

(14:23):
one fighter was was tested tested positive for COVID nineteen.
But I think you're gonna see, you know, as these
sports start to come back. Um, the NFL certainly is
going to keep an eye on that and and and
see what they can learn. And certainly baseball and basketball
and hockey, who obviously have more you know, more of
a sense of urgency because we're already into their seasons

(14:45):
and uh where football we have the benefit of, you know,
a couple of months. Um, and and so that you know,
I know, Travis, you you told me that the Big
ten what was it, they extended the suspension of O
t A Yeah through June one, no reevaluate at that time, Um,
you you had talked to n C double A doctors

(15:05):
this week, right, Yeah, And I know, and there was
a quote n A president Mark Emmer and one of
the quotes that Clo Clok, I think everybody's eye was
that the school doesn't reopen, then they're not going to
be playing sports. It's that simple, um and and that
and I think that was. Yeah, I was part of
a call. And this is you know, the n c
A has a TAT force and they're they're monitoring the situation,

(15:28):
and the n c A the return to college sports
is going to be a greater challenge than professional sports because,
like Dr Brammert said, it starts with these are students athletes.
They're students first, and it's and there will be no
return to play from a school that is not does
not have students in class and and so you're not

(15:50):
going to have a situation, at least as far as
I'm aware, you're not gonna have a situation where you're
gonna be able to feel a football team if you're
not if you don't have students in school and those
kids aren't going to class and and so, um, that
that's gonna be the key thing. And when you look
at the people that you know, the things that I've heard,
and none of this, none of this is written in stall.

(16:11):
It's all still up in the air. But really the
four things that they're looking at right now, there's four
potential models and and the first would be start in September,
full season. Okay, that's the first. The second is starting
in October, play a full season, but everything is obviously
moved moved back. Um. The third would be uh an

(16:34):
eight to ten games season, um, and it would be
split where you play half the season in the fall,
take a break and then and then the second half
in the spring. Okay. And then the fourth would be
no season at all. And from the people, the people
that I talked to, okay, okay, the least likely is

(16:56):
one and four. So the least likely the full season
starting in September and no season at all, that's the
least likely. So then you you land into the other
two and the people again that I'm hearing most likely
right now and again this this could change tomorrow is
October full season, um, and everything gets pushed back a

(17:19):
little bit. And and that and that gives because when
you think about one of the things that these schools
are going to have to do is they have to
reclimatize their students and what and what they're saying is
that could take anywhere from four to eight weeks. Okay,
So so basically a a school would need students on
campus and then four to eight weeks before they can

(17:40):
start playing sports and so that and they think that
that would be in that six week period. So so
if you say six weeks and you want to play
September one, you know, Labor Day weekend, now we're talking
about you know, middle of July, where where you have
to have students you know, starting to you know, get
back on campus. So so that's kind of that's kind

(18:01):
of where they are. UM. You know, one of the
things that was interesting is they said, listen, there's if
we wait for zero risk, we won't play sports for
two years. And so I think everybody and that's not
what they're waiting for. Everybody understands that there's going to
be risks. It's how do we minimize that risk. How
do we get the testing in place to make sure

(18:22):
that And it's not just athletes, right, it's not just
your student athletes. You've got you have officials, you have
you have people, it goes down to you know, doctors,
people on the sideline. So one of the things that
they're talking about is players and UM officials would not
have to wear masks, but potentially anybody else that in
the bench area, a doctor, a trainer, a waterboy, chain

(18:46):
crew potentially would have to wear masks. That's something that
that is being discussed. And again, testing, when you think
about the type of testing that will hopefully be available,
there's an antibody test that could take two to three days,
and then there's there's a viral test that they hope
that will be something similar to like a pregnancy test
where you'll be able to take it and know right away. Um,

(19:09):
and have these tests in place, and when would you
start testing, um, your athletes and your personnel, When would
you start testing officials? Um, how would you do that?
There's so much that goes into this, But again those
are the things that are being discussed and uh, and
you know, and we'll just kind of see it's it's
gonna be it's gonna be a challenge. But I think

(19:30):
the biggest thing, like Dr Emmix said, it's it's not
it's you won't have sports if you don't have students
in school. So we could have you could have right,
you could have a big ten schedule and you could
have you know, and and you could have eleven of
the twelve Big ten schools in in in classes and

(19:50):
that one school just doesn't play football and that's and
doesn't play false sports, and that's a possibility. That's a
possibility right now. Well, it makes me think about cal
Inifornia and in the legislation here that the government hasn't
has hasn't been as alenia as other states like Florida
and and some others. Like what if what if the

(20:12):
schools in California like, oh, we don't in the past
twelves like that, we're not gonna play we don't want it.
We don't want to do that where our school our
schools aren't gonna open like does does the past twelves
just shut down to other conferences play without without the
other conferences. Is that possibility, Yeah, you know, it's I
think the thinking now is that they would want all

(20:33):
the conferences to start at the same time. But there
may they may they understand that you may not give
every school from every conference because like you said, what
if the restrictions in California are are not eased and
so you have your California schools in the Pact twelve
like U c l A. UFC and cal Um that
can't play. But you have and you have Utah, and

(20:56):
you have Washington, and you have Arizona and Arizona State
that Bill Camp play. All of these things are gonna
be are gonna be factors. And uh, that's why the
college landscape is going to be much more difficult to
navigate than professionally. And uh, and then again, it's gonna
be really interesting to see how that how it all
plays out. Yeah, it's it's crazy. That is interesting. I mean,

(21:22):
I'm in Arizona and like the restaurants are open today,
you could actually go sit in a restaurant and have
a meal, yeah, which is pretty well. I'm actually dying
to do that. And I and I'm dying to go.
There's so many good restaurants in l A and Santa
Monica and and and on the West Side and and mom,
I'm just worried, you know, and obviously so so many

(21:43):
people are affected by this. How many of these restaurants
are not going to open ever again? You know when
that's that, I think about the time, you know, how
how many I think about walking down the promenade here
in Santa Monica when everything does start to reopen and
something that you just say, hey, that place didn't open
back up, and and it's just it's sad, it's really sad.

(22:03):
And obviously there's um, you know, there's so many layers
to this that are that are it's tragic. But uh, yeah,
I mean that's not cheap, rent. You can't miss a day, no, no, no,
And and so I don't yeah, I don't know what
what the future holds, but hopefully we'll uh we'll get

(22:23):
back to the normal. And um, all right, let's take
a break and we come back. We'll talk to US
two for unineed more detail and Travis we can breakdown
on the other effects that are coming up next on
good Calls. All right, we're back, some good call something Latino.

(22:55):
So we were talking about before the break sports that
may return and when speculate and when they would return.
One sport that did come back and came back in
a big way the UFC, and this has been a journey. Um,
we have talked about the UFC and Dana White and
this has been you know, they had a card scheduled.
This card was originally schedule from March in Brooklyn, was

(23:18):
canceled for postponed then they were gonna do it out
here in California on a Native American reservation that got
canceled and uh, and then we were talking about Fight Island,
which I still think we need to do and uh,
but Savate Island that didn't happen. But finally Florida opened
up made uh, you know, sports and essential industry and

(23:41):
in Jacksonville Saturday night, UFC to forty nine. Um, great card,
It was very interesting. Joe and I actually did a
live stream on YouTube with our friend Shane Fayson, who
who has the fight Hips YouTube channel and uh, and
also with Vince the Anomaly charo, who's a who's a
professional m M A fighter and and it was a

(24:03):
lot of fun. It was a great It was a
great event, really interesting and joke, because you've been very quiet,
I wanted you to take the first shot at this,
like what were your takeaways about the event considering the
changes and the environment. Well, the one thing I noticed first, like,
I mean, the event was sick. It was such a
great card. The undercard was amazing. I know you guys

(24:25):
didn't watch it, but I'm still an undercard watcher. But
what really was interesting me is you could I was
watching my children at the time. Joe, me and my
children were watching the fight. I was showing the move
you know, we did all that. But one thing that
I thought really stood I was how you could hear
the punches landing. I thought that was so interesting because

(24:45):
you don't have a crowd and you could hear like
the force behind punches, and it to me, it felt
more powerful when you could hear these things landing, you know,
jaws getting busted open. It was. It was an amazing
I love that card. I watched it over and over already. Nice. Yeah,
I mean it was obviously you think about what went
into it, you know. Danta White said that they tested

(25:08):
about they conducted eleven hundred tests for covid um and
one positive, which when you think about it, that's that's great.
I mean you you would you would think that that
something's gonna come up, We're gonna get a positive. But
to only have one out of eleven hundred in his grade,
they caught it. Uh you know um Jack Array uh Suso,

(25:29):
the fighter. He he was taking off the court, obviously
off the card. Obviously he was he was, you know,
got medical attention, quarantine, the whole deal. And uh and
the rest of the event went off really you know,
without a hitch obviously, like Joe mentioned, no fans. It
was just very it was just a very unique. It
was almost if you watched the The The Ultimate Fighter

(25:52):
with some of those sites where it's a smaller I
mean it's a smaller it's in a gym setting. You've
got uh, you know, just the teams and the teammates
there and it's just not the big crowd. But one
of the things for me that was just really interesting
was just yes that you could hear, but it almost
was like without the crowd reaction. And the one for
me was the Niganu rosenstruck fight where it was just

(26:15):
i mean Nigana was hit him with a left hand
that just he he was out cold, and and it
was you know, inside of a minute and it was
watching you know this this this knockout without the without
the you know, the fans would have been it would
have been such a big reaction. But without the fans reaction,

(26:38):
it felt like it just felt kind of like it
gave me like a bad feeling, like almost you don't
you imagine, yeah, like like like imagine like imagine you know,
and and you know, I've seen this and it's not
like imagine watching somebody get knocked out on the street,
you know, like it's not And it just had that

(27:00):
that more of that kind of feel whereas if the
fans are going crazy and it's like, you know, you're
not so focused on your focused on the energy of
the crowd and the fighters celebrating, you're not so focused
on the guy who just got you know, can custs
and knocked out cold. And it for me, it just
felt different, like it just had a different feeling and uh,

(27:21):
and it was just you know, it was interesting to
see how that played out. And and uh, but I agree,
like to hear to hear the coaches and yeah, that
was his landing and listening to the instructions and you know,
and even even so so Greg Hardy former NFL player
Greg Hardy, who who was on the first fight on
the cart actually won his fight one of one of decisions,

(27:44):
and he said he could hear Daniel Cormier, who was
one of the one of the broadcasters. He said he
could hear his instructions in terms of what you know,
he was getting hit with leg takes lowcakes early and
he could hear his instructions, and he actually he actually
instead of checking the low kick, he actually pulled his
leg back and it ended up it ended up the

(28:06):
kick ended up hitting on his shin and he and
he hurt. Um you know, broke his toe and that
actually that actually impacted the fight, the whole fight. It
was very Yeah, the Castro broke his toe on that,
on that low kick, and it actually changed the whole
fight because he was really he was using it as
an effective technique up for that point. And then I

(28:28):
loved listening to the like hearing the being able to
hear the coaches. It really felt very personal, like you
could hear the coaches saying, yeah it was. It was cool.
And then obviously the you know, the two the two
co main events, Henryson Judo, Um, you know, winning math fight.
And I know there was some question about the stoppage. Um.
You know, Joe didn't like the stoppage. I thought it

(28:48):
was justified. You know, Dominic cruise, he hit Cruise with
it with a real plush knee right on the chance
Cruise went down. He was working his way. He looked
like he was trying to work his way up to
his hands and knees and trying to get in but
he's taking punscious, he wasn't covering up. I thought the referee, Um,
you know, I thought, in that instance, in the heat
of the moment, you're you're gonna lean towards fighter safety.

(29:10):
And I thought that was that was the right call. Um.
And then and then he announced his retirement. So we
don't know if that what that means. You know, maybe
he's maybe that's uh some you know, a negotiating ploy
with the with the uh you know, UFC and trying

(29:31):
to get all money because obviously he felt that he
hasn't gotten you know, the attention and the marketing that
many other fighters. But naturally, when you talk about a
guy that's fighting in in feather weight and bantam weight,
those weight classes don't get a lot of attentions. You know,
very technically skilled, um, and if you want to watch
technical fighters, you know, and really good technical fights, the

(29:53):
lower weight classes tend to bring that, but they just
don't get the attention that you know, even even like
the lightweight at once five and and then beyond that
yet So um, that was interesting. And then the main
event with Tony Ferguson and and just engaged. You what
a fight. And and obviously Gauche, you know, I I
thought Ferguson had more, had more weapons. I thought he

(30:14):
had the you know, he had more in his arsenal
to win that fight. But Gauci, we knew GETSI was
tough and that he was gonna he was gonna stand
in there and throw and and he just but he
had a great game plan. This this is not the
just Engauchy that we saw in his first couple of
USB fights. He's learned now that that not getting hit
is a pretty good it's a very good strategy. And uh,

(30:37):
and he's incorporated that. And he did get he did
get dropped at the end of the second down. And
I think he would have been interesting to see if
that had happened with you know, two minutes less than
around versus five seconds. Um. But but he he hit
Tony Ferguson with everything but the kitchen sink, and Tony
Fergusons like literally he he he's his zombie, like he

(31:01):
could be an extra in The Walking Dead. Like every
shot he shook every shot and came forward non solely.
And that stoppage, I think that stoppage was her Being
looked after Big John McCarthey and her Being are the
two best referees and then in the history, like in
my opinion, and her Bean stopped the fight. Ferguson obviously

(31:21):
was still on his feet, but he I haven't seen
a fight like that where guy takes a punch and shakes,
like shakes his head. He's literally they always talked about,
you know, shake the cobweb, like I've never seen it
it visually like that where it's like some shots. Yeah,
like some reporter ice chest over his head. He just
shook and he just shook his head like he was

(31:42):
trying to get his senses back and he backed away
towards the cage and kind of almost tried to run.
And you know, I think her Bean was justified stopping it.
And uh, you know he was gonna lose his decision anyway.
He wasn't going to knock you g out at that
point or submit him. Um, he just didn't have it
at that point, and I thought it was a good stoppage.
And you just you don't want to see, you know,

(32:05):
those referees you talk about NFL and basketball and other sports, um,
their their first responders in a way, and they do
protect the players. But when you talk about an m
m A or boxing referee, um, you know that that
truly can be life and death and that is a
very difficult position to be in, and I think you're
always gonna leak towards protective I did not dislike that stoppage.
I mean, Ferguson was getting just murk bro he was

(32:28):
getting beat up. Like I I think the way the
double weight cut had a huge impact on him. And
he'll never admit it because he's just like you said,
he's just a zombie. But he didn't look great, and
but Gage looked amazing, much better than I've ever seen him.
Head movement was great, accuracy was on point. Um yea
hell of a fight, really good fighting. We're probably not

(32:51):
gonna see you know, uh Ferguson could be, but you
know that's how it goes. But I think overall, just
the I think the impact that will have to say
that we can have a professional sporting event. There's testing
in place. Um. I think it's a positive and we
can build on that. So so transition a little bit, Travis,
what what's what can we expect coming up? You got more? Yeah,

(33:15):
you have more UFC coming up later this week. There
was the three events in the eight days. You got
May thirteenth and sixteenth. You've got a couple of couple
of matches coming up. You've got MLB had an interesting
conference call today UM talking about their return and there's
gonna be a proposal that the owners UM have now

(33:36):
submitted to the NFL or started the MLB Players Association,
and that entail. There was a there was a Ken
Rosensall article about that talking about what what could be
what could be UM discussed. They haven't really given any
details there hasn't leaked out yet, but it could be
like an approximate a game season to start in early

(33:58):
July UM in a re generalized UM format, meaning that
teams would play within their division, their play their division opponents,
and then also non division opponents in the geographical area,
kind of like the a F or the a L
East would play the n L E. So you could
see some Mets and Yankees UM series. So that would

(34:19):
be kind of cool. UM all obviously unpredictable with with
COVID nineteen and UM with the schedule could change in progress.
So it was like a seventy eight to eighty two games.
One of the one of the things that Rosenthal had
put out there was potentially four three games series with
division opponents and then three two games series against non

(34:42):
division opponents. So it it's the interesting Yeah, I think,
you know, I think the biggest world block right now,
um between the Union the league is going to be
how the revenue is split, because I know the league
is going to present or they they had they had
upon a proposal for the mL M l B p

(35:03):
a is um in that where they would split the revenue.
So whatever the revenue is, it would be split between
the league and the players, and uh and the players
they're not gonna go for that because the way they
view that, they look at that as like a hard
salary cap. And where the league is saying, no, this
is we don't know what the revenue is gonna be,

(35:24):
but we're gonna split at fifty fifty and if it's
you know, if we do get additional revenue, because I
think baseball is a sport that is more reliant on
the gate um and the fans, you know, because you
have you know, do you have so many more games
and you have so many you know, more opportunities for
that life game, where whereas football, you know, it's it's
more TV driven in terms of the money, where you

(35:46):
don't have you know, you have eight home games regular
season to two preseason games maybe you get a postseason
game or two versus one home games in baseball including
all of the spring training stuff. So I think that's
going to be one of the roadblocks. But you know,
it's good to hear that they're at least talking about
it since it's starting in July. And uh, and we
can get a baseball season and that would be, uh,

(36:07):
that would be you know the best of the situation
right now. Um, what about NASCAR, Travis, what what do
we have up to date on that that we're spector
curtain May seven team with the race of Darlington's. So
so that's great and a Fox is fired up about that,
ready to get get that back on the air. And
I'm sure that'll do huge numbers with all the NASCAR fans. Um.

(36:28):
You mentioned the Bunefliga and that coming back May sixteen,
UM EPL in the Premier League, they may be able
to resume post to close doors June one. Uh, Brady
Michelson versus Manning Wood. This this has been given a date.
Now it'll be um we've got televised on TNT BE

(36:53):
on a reason at twelve Mountain beam. I don't know
twelve mountains. I guess, like I don't like I like
all those guys. I'm not excited about that. I'm not.
I don't the idea of the four guys playing golf
and they're in they're little, you know, they're they're witty
comebacks and making fun of each other. I it just
doesn't the first one I did not watch the first one.

(37:19):
The Michelson woulds I didn't either, And adding Brady and
Manning in there, I guess, I'm sure there'll be some
funny stuff. I'm Payton hillarious, top Brady and a good
sense of humor. Um, you know, Michelson is funny. I
think Tiger has a good sense of humor. He just
doesn't show it all that much. But I don't know.
I mean, I remember, I'm sure to be a fun event,
but remember Brady and Johnny drama and entourage like that

(37:41):
was pretty funny. He broke his driver. There won't be
any fans there, they'd all be in their own cards.
It can be interesting. And then n H l n
B A UM, you know the NHL, I think not
not much, um, not much. I haven't heard much on hockey, UM,

(38:02):
which yeah, the other States are supposed to come out
Mondays and and as of this recording night, I hadn't
heard anything new on NHL. UM. NBA though, has has
gotten some interesting interesting things that came out there and
they're saying I mean, I mean, I know Adam Silver's
telling you know they're there. It was reported that he
was telling players to be prepared to play next season

(38:24):
without fans. UM that's interesting, and you know, I basketball
without you know, because basketball is that is one of
the sports that I really feel like home court advantages,
you know, if you look at the numbers that that's
a real thing. And without fans, I wonder how that's
going to impact those players. Thinking about no fans at

(38:47):
the UF, He's like, no fans in the basketball game,
it would be insane. You would hear everything that those
guys are saying on the court to each other, and
you can hear you could hear that. You think about
like Charles Barkley and a guy who was known for
for trash talking, I could be able to hear what
he was saying on the court, would would be insane,
Like I don't know, I wonder if they wouldn't ye,
I wonder if they would if they would turn it

(39:09):
down because they know some of that stuff would probably
not be you know, would not be good for you know,
for you know, kids or young audience whatever it is.
Um and uh, you know, any sport when you start
talking about trash talking, not just he doesn't on cable
TV right on late night TV, Dean, don't you aren't

(39:29):
you a four seat guy? So you probably hear it
all the time right at the four seat aren't you
a four seat flour seat guy? Four seat? Now, I'm not.
I've never said I've never sat, you know. The closest
I've been was maybe like three four rows back, but
I've never been on the on the floor. One day.

(39:50):
Get your agent on the phone right now. I'm going
to talk to him one day before we go to break.
I want to give an update on on the c
the cb P l U or the p L Okay,
the Chinese Professional Baseball League. So as of as of Monday,
here are the standards. Okay, and I don't remember who

(40:12):
which team picked who picked two, but we're gonna have
to remind me. So in first place, the Racketan monkeys,
they think the monkeys, you had the monkeys the fourteen four.
The Chinese Trust Brothers are are nine and eleven. HM
Gardians are eight and eleven, and the Unique Lions are
eight thirteen. So it looks you had the lion. It

(40:35):
looks like the Racketan monkeys, um are are starting to
put some put some distance between them and the Chinese
Trust Brothers. So that's where we are there. And they
did fans, right, you're gonna put speaking of putting difference
between people, they started to let fans go to those
games they have to sit apart and uh and and

(40:57):
I think it was up to a thousand. They were
allowed to have a found and fans at the game.
And in the initial the initial report wasn't they wanted
two d fans, but then they up it to a thousand,
so they opened it up to more than they initially wanted.
All right, that's a it's a positive note. All right,
let's go to break. When we come back, we'll talk

(41:20):
about we're the best player wearing another thirty side. Um,
we'll do our last sand blah blah, blah update and uh,
and we'll talk shows him to teach me something after
the break. That's not a good call. All right, We're gold.

(41:43):
It's called and we started this thing. Here we go
and and it was episode thirty four. We had this
espession about who's the best player to wear jersey number
thirty four a cross off court and uh and we
we we picked, we picked the player and we debated.
M Twitter chimed in and we came up with Shaq

(42:05):
who shack was the best thirty four? Last week we
talked about the best player to wear him the thirty five.
We added a qualifier that said he had to wear
thirty five for least half of his career. We came
up with four names, Frank Thomas, Tony s Desito, Justin Berlander,
and Kevin Durant. So Twitter, Um, the Twitter vote came
out Kevin Durant at thirty seven percent, Frank Thomas thirty

(42:27):
one percent, Justin Berland, Tony Desito ten percent. So I
just did some research and I'll break it down real quick. Um. So,
Frank Thomas eight career numbers, three oh one, hitter two
thousand four and sixty eight hits home runs, there's only

(42:48):
one of nine players to hit three hundred of their
career and also have five hundred home runs as like
Babe Ruthe Louie made Hank Aaron. More recently Nanny brumire
as an alper pool Um seven hunduring four RBIs. He
was forty seven in total bases for his career, twentie
at home run in RBI. UM All Star five times,

(43:09):
was an m v P back to back seasons four
Silver Slugger four times, which is the best offensive player
at each position, won the batting title one time. UM
number retired by the White Sox number thirty five. He
was the first ballot Hall of Famer. Um did win
a World Series with the White Sox in two thousands five,
but was not on the postseason roster due to injury. Um,

(43:33):
on the downside, was a d H after nine seven season,
so did play um over half of his career as
a d H. And this interesting stat about Frank Thomas.
He never had a sacrifice fronts of his career, so
the big hurt never it wasn't. It was always a
big hurt. It was never a little hurt. So he

(43:54):
always he's a big I've seen him in the studio.
He's a big dude. He's you know, he's gonna be
doing the eugenics. So that's how he stayed so fit
and and virile. So have the low T level. You
know what I think, you know what I think about
Frank Thomas. I think he had I think Frank Thomas

(44:16):
had the sweetest stroke for a right handed hitter. He
had a really beautiful swing for a right handed hitter.
Usually they say the left handed hitters that look nicer.
They heard had a beautiful swing. Well, he had that
unorthodox swing where he lifted his right foot off the
ground when he hit it, just like he wouldn't be
able to generate much power, and he did. Um Yeah, no,

(44:39):
he's uh, he's obviously. And when you think about and
we'll come back to it, we'll come back to him.
I just want to give the kind of their their resume.
Tonia Cesito not maybe not a lot of people know
Tozito is played. Was was goalie for UM in the
NHL with the Chicago black Hawk seven to ninety before

(45:00):
longest career for UM. Rookie year had an unbelievable rookie year.
He won the Call the Trophy which is for the
best rookie, won the the Zena Trophy, which is for
the best goalie at fifteen shutouts, which is still the
modern day record, and they won the Stanley Cup in
six seventy UM NHL First Team three times, Second Team twice,
the Zenos Trophy, three times All Star, six times. UM

(45:21):
named to the NHLs Hundreds Great hundred Greatest Players, is
in the Housey Hall of Fame. Tent on the all
time wins list with twenty three, ninth in games play
these eighty six seventy six shutouts, which is eleventh all time.
Number thirty five retired by the black Hawks, UM and UH.
And he did win that Stanley Cup in in in

(45:43):
seve nineties, six nine seventy UM. So that's Tony sto
so number thirty five. And one of the things about
Tony Sto is he was the first goalie to wear
thirty five And because Tonyo Szo was so good, that
became kind of one of the hit numbers for holies.
Guys like Tomparasso and some mothers were wearing thirty five

(46:03):
after Tony and Tony. Tony s Psito's nickname was Tony
Oh because he had so many shutouts. So um, next
time was Justin Verlander two thousand five to the President.
This is the first guy that we've had as a
present player. UM two wins, which is seventyf on the
all time list, three point three three d r A

(46:24):
which which is not is not high on the list
in terms of career, but playing in the American League
in in today's day and age, that's a good number. UM.
I even went a little you know, analytics forty six
and adjusted e r A UM, which is one for
all the analytic dudes out there. I'm more of Joe
and I have had this conversation. I think war is

(46:46):
it's subjective. I think anybody could say, oh, he had
a great war. Well, well I'm not. I'm not a
big like whatever you want to call it these new statistics.
But I did. I did put it in adjusted the
r A, which takes Nick's Federation external factors like ballparks
and opponents. He is forty six UM all time UM

(47:07):
three thousand six strikeouts. That is when you think about pictures,
three thousand strikeouts, a milestone, eight team on the All
stime list, eight ball Star games, one time a a
all m MLB Team World Series Champion two thousand seven teen,
but that doesn't count because the Outstars cheated. Um A
l m v P wants two cy youngs one triple crown,

(47:28):
which would be UM triple Crown for pictures. Is what
wins strikeouts and whip I guess UM Rookie the Year
one Legal League and wins three times, the r A
one Legal League and strikeouts five times, and the es
three no hitters UM and then lastly Kevin durant So
Kevin Durant Um two thousand seven to the present, one

(47:52):
of m v P one finals, MVP twice, All Star
ten times, All NBA First Team, six times, Second Team,
three times, Rookie of the Year Scoring Champ four times.
He has two thousand ninety points. That's good for thirty
first career and that's the head of guys like Clyde Drexler,
Gary Payton and Larry Bird and he's ACEH in Player

(48:14):
Efficiency rating, which UM. Player efficiency rating is another kind
of new new school stat that that takes all of
the players positive accomplishments and subtracts their negative accomplishments and
returns a per minute rating of the player's pretendment so
he's ate for all time, and guys like Michael Jordan
and Lebron and uh and um others are ahead of him,

(48:36):
but he's he's obviously up there. So that's that's their resume.
Anybody we can eliminate off the off the top, those
are those are all really good. I think you have
to take I think you have to take the current
player out at this point. Berlinard does have great numbers,
but I don't know, they're all really great, Like the

(48:57):
numbers are are amazing? Do you want to say kt?
I think okay, So let's say of these four, let's
let's ask this question was was he ever considered the
best player in his sport during his career? So Frank Thomas,
So Frank Thomas. Frank Thomas ever and I think Frank

(49:17):
Thomas although ninety three and ninety four he won back
to back of a l M v P s. But
he was playing like you had Barry Bonds. You had
guys like you know who were also playing at that time,
Kirby Puckett who probably he was in the same he
was in the same conversation, but he wasn't heading shoulders
about um Tony as the way to put it. So, yeah,

(49:38):
I don't think so on on Frank Tony as Sesito,
and I know we have to dig into like in
terms of NHL goalies, but he was a guy, especially
early in his career that was kind of a like
this new wave of of goalie um and and he
probably was considered at one time one of the best goalies.
I don't think he was heading shoulders above um you

(50:00):
know where it was like a Wayne Gretzky type for
Mary Lilied type. Um. So, I don't think Tonya Deesito
fits that category either. Berlander. Did he where the Jason
Math though, as Doesito. I'm I have to see he
wore like those were the goalies, those were the goalie
he actually um the mask, the mask that he wore,

(50:26):
I'm have to look it at him. He did wear
because those are the goal the mask that they would
They were kind of elaborate, um like the designs, but
it didn't look like a Jason Math. Yeah he did. Actually,
Tonya Doesito had to had the Jason Mass You know what,
I gotta give you prop thirty six episodes in great question,

(50:47):
finally one finally a good question. Good job. He did
wear the Goldie Mask. So so we're gonna give him,
We're gonna give him credit for that. Um. You know,
you think about Berlander, I've don't think he's ever been
He's always been in the conversation. But when you talk
about you know, other pictures that have pitched at the
same time, like Kershawn and and some of the other guys,

(51:08):
I don't think Burlander has been heading shoulders above anybody. Um.
And then you get down to Durant and Durant. You know,
I think Durant has been in the conversation. I think
there was a point where when when when Golden States
won that's that title, that first title with him and
and beat Lebron, I think people were staying Kevin Durant

(51:30):
was the best player on the planet. Yeah, there's definitely
an argument. I think you could definitely make that that argument.
Durant is a monster. He's so I mean, he's what
six eleven, He shoots threes, and he can get up
and down the court. He playing defense. He he's pretty incredible.
Just the size just amazing to me. To me, I

(51:54):
think I'm eliminating at Sezito and Berlanders. Between Frank Thomas
and Durant. All right, were we voting? What's up? We're voting?
How are voting? Well, that's why I'm I'm gonna I'll
vote everybody votes. Okay, Travis, you're saying Durant is the best?

(52:19):
Is the is the guy? Yes, I'm going Frank Thomas
on this one. Yeah, I'm torn because I think Durant,
especially with the injury, I think Durant will eventually, you know,
I think four or five more years. I think if
he starts to climb the ladder in terms of history
and accomplishments against the guys like Michael Jordan and Magic

(52:43):
and Kareem and those types, I think Durant will eventually
be there. But I think right now in his career,
I think I gotta go Frank down. And he's got
the best nickname out of all the guys, and that's
that's part of it. So do you have the best nickname? Yeah,
I'm not in the Hall of Fame, alright, best best

(53:03):
player to wear thirty six. Let's let's just set it up.
Let's pick let's pick four. I feel like this is
a no brainer, obviously, without question, but without question. And
then did you throw in the other guy? He did.
It's like twenty two years trains Perry Gaylord Perry. Yeah, yeah,

(53:29):
But I think Betts Dudettes was a He was a machine.
And I met him super Bowl forty nine. Nicest dude, like,
coolest guy. Thank you for the tickets. Team. I found
an inchkin one who ast the War thirty six shacks
War thirty six for the Celtics. Guys, that doesn't I

(53:51):
don't think he played many games there though. Well, I'm
gonna go so I agree bettis Who's who? Who? Do
we just say the other guy? Gaylor Perry Gaylord Perry. Um,
I think a guy so and I want to make
sure he wore thirty six. I think he did because

(54:15):
this is a guy. I mean, not a lot of
people are gonna not a lot of current people. Um no,
I'm thinking of somebody else. I'm thinking married Motley. But
he worked seventies, sicks, thirty six all that topic. It
wasn't a big ye. I agree, Well, we gotta come

(54:36):
up with two more, even if we got to throw
in like a Rashid Wallace or something. She wore. He
wore thirty a lot of his career, and he's also
wore thirty six. All right, let's see, all right, well
we'll come Robert Hubbard. I don't even know who that is. Now,

(54:58):
we're just now, we're just grabbing name. Robin Robin Roberts,
Robin Roberts. Maybe he is a picture years ago. Come on, man,
this is the bus gets this one? Like, let's this
there are some that are getting Yeah, like if we
went backwards in the show, it's like you go to
twenty three and you just you know who gets that one? Yeah,

(55:22):
all right, so we're gonna give it. We're gonna give
it to your own. That's an obvious It's just so obvious. Okay,
all right, so let's let's move on. Last dance. I
don't know, did you guys watch what's happening? I watched it.
I watched me there. I don't have time for it.
Like it was exciting the first couple of weeks and
then and I just I fell off. I don't have

(55:44):
two hours on a Sunday night. Well, I know, my
man Patrick Ewing said in an interview that he is
not watching it, and he, like me, is not watching
it for that reason. He does not want to relive
that crap over. Michael Jordan was was an amazing basketball player.
But I think what I think, and and Scott actually

(56:07):
said that. Scott, who has been on the podcast, he
I think he summarized it really well. He said, he
said a lot of people think Michael Jordan's was so
great because he was an asshole, right, Like, he was
so driven that that caused him to push people and
to be like and it to not be the nice guy.
But the way Scott presented it, and I agree, is

(56:29):
that they're not mutually exclusive. Right. He's he was a
great player, but he was also an asshole. And and
it's not because he was an asshole that he was
still great. So that's my take. Michael Jordan was an asshole,
great player, and you know he beat the Knicks. So
that's I'm kind of buying show you you're you know
about the gamble. Did did Jordan have a gambling issue?

(56:50):
He said he didn't have a gambling problem, So I
I just think it's how problem. I think what they
talked about on the show, Hey look like ten grand
and Michael Jordan's is like dropping the hunter Bucks. To me,
I don't I don't have a gambling problem, but I'll
lose a Hunter Bucks here and there no big deal.
Jordan's drops ten G's It's not a big deal. The

(57:11):
guys are probably a billionaire right now. Yeah, if you're
gambling away your you know, all your your your wealth
and your family, you know, your family, you lose your house.
But I did love his response. He said, I don't
have a gambling from I have a competition problem. And
I feel like, you know, I get that. I totally
the same thing because I'm out here doing I'm listening,

(57:32):
I'm out here doing cartwheill contests on the sand today
because I just want to win, you know, you and
Michael Jordan's that's what you have. And but you did
say that, Travis, you say the ESPN now you're gonna
move up some of the release of some of these
documentaries A Glance song Strong of Bruce Lee and some others. Yeah, yeah,
So I wanted to know what in the other one
that they mentioned was McGuire sosa in the battles are

(57:56):
all interesting. I mean, this is right, and I guess
I guess, like what I want to know is obviously
that this is you know, Phil Jackson and they filmed
this knowing that they would they would hopefully win a
title and they would be able to hear this at
some point is are these going to be these documentaries
going to be more of the documentaries that were used

(58:18):
to where it's done kind of after the fact, and
we're just kind of going back and reliving this or
how it's going to be done, because obviously fascinating stories
either got lance Onsturant, Bruce Lee McGuire. So so like
I remember that, you know, the McGuire Sosa. I mean,
you want to talk about baseball being thus saying during

(58:38):
those times, I mean that was like I was watching
Cardinals games and I was watching you know, Giants games
to see if they were gonna or in Sosao Clubs
games to see its thongs or Sosa McGuire, we're gonna
helme run um. And I'm a Dodger fan. That was
it was a cool time, regardless of whether they were
juicing or what, but it was you people were It

(59:01):
was part of the national conversation, whereas baseball hasn't you know,
haven't been that way, you know, at least for the
right reasons. Um all that often recently. Listen, if I'm
the commissioner, I'm sending juice to all these cats right now,
just let's get this thing back up. Here's some here's
some dec out, let's do this thing. Whatever. What do

(59:25):
you need? The baseballs, I mean, Berlander was very adamant
that they were juiced in the baseball um and uh
and he was, he was, you know, I'm pretty annoyed
about it. So because obviously, you know, chicks dig the
home run. I was just gonna say, you, you guys
remember the Big Unit commercial where he was taking batting
practice Brandy Johnson, And he's like, that was a great campaign.

(59:48):
Jig um. Yeah, but all those I'd be interested in watching.
I mean, I think that, you know, the thirties and
thirties are so well done. I still honestly the best,
the best sports related a documentary that I've seen. Um,
and you know it's not it's not necessarily traditional sports,
but the HBO special that they did on Andrea the

(01:00:10):
Giant was awesome. Yeah, unbelievable, Like I'll rewatch that every
once in a while, and that was like, Bro, did
you see the last video Tyson posted, by the way,
the choke changer subject, But did you see I'm having
a moment about Andre the Giant. I know, video. I
was gonna I was gonna talk about well, yeah, I'll

(01:00:33):
tell you what. I'll tell you what it is. Andre
the Giant wasn't a real fighter. Tyson was. And he's
a he's fifty three, he's still a monster. I would
take in in his trime. I take on the Giant over.
That's so silly, that's so ridiculous. That's your saying. You
say he's not a real fighter. He's not real fire.

(01:00:53):
Tyson would hit him with one kidney shot and he'd
be dead like that big old Why are you kidding me?
Are you joking right now? And if he gets his
hands on you, it would never happen. Did you see
if he gets him, he was throwing boulders. I'm just
gonna say, I'm not gonna edit this like you sound

(01:01:14):
so ridiculous right now. I'm not gonna edit this out.
I'm gonna persone. Andre the Giant would beat I will
put it out on Twitter in their frind the Giant
would beat my bro. Tyson would kill like he could
five punch him like Ferguson was throwing the five Punchers
on Saturday. Tyson would throw a left hood to andres
thigh and put him down. He's Andre the Giant. Okay,

(01:01:39):
he lost the whole Hogan. No, oh, it's fixed now now,
w w F is fixed. Watch watch the watch the document.
I've watched it, Andre Legend, go to his go to
Tyson's instagram today Monster, look straight, look in. You'll put

(01:02:02):
some stuff out there too. He's already good feel and
holy feel with beat Tyson again like he did, like
he did twice. So Mike Tyson's who looks amazing. He
looks like a beet. I actually love Mike Tyson. But
Andrea Giant is Andre the Giant? Did? I watch his
instagrams and I just get fired up? My go outside,
hit the bag, and I feel like I'm doing exactly

(01:02:23):
Why don't you go, Why don't you go? Why don't
you go? Hit the bag? Now? Travis and I will
wrap up, all right, all right, all right, he's gonna
stop the recording. But no, I do need you, Joe,
because before we wrap up, I need you to teach
me TikTok because I got a ticktock is down. Oh
you don't know. I want to do like movie scenes
and I don't know how to do it. So you're

(01:02:44):
gonna have to teach me that. How does it work?
How do TikTok work? I'll go on the video like
I was going TikTok right now. Okay, he's going on
ticktok and you act like I'm sixteen years old. Actually
you act to get something. Okay, So like when your
husband so okay, So here's how, here's how TikTok. I

(01:03:08):
believed that TikTok no. So you have to find you
have to find one. Like the way that I've seen
it done is you find another person doing the video
you want to do and then you could like record over.
There's that's why you see the same videos over and
over and over on TikTok is the same thing. You
just like do what they're doing. Oh, because it's the same. Yeah,

(01:03:30):
because I'm trying to get like movie quote and they
see people doing movie quotes and the like asking it
out and I don't know where you get the movie
quotes from. On TikTok, I'll play the movie on my
TV and then and then do the video. You know what,
let's let's okay, let's save this for episode thirty seven.
I will I'll research it because I'm pretty sure you

(01:03:53):
like I could figure that out because I know I
know some some I got some friends who are young,
and they'll be able to help me out with this,
all right. And so the other thing, I don't know
if it's COVID or what, but I got I got
an apology the other day. So, man, when you sent
