Speaker 1 (00:01):
The volume. Welcome back to Inside Garage Podcast. I'm Kyle
Hamilton along with k J. Wallace, con Rad again and
Cam hart. Um. We do not have a guest today,
so you guys are just stuck with us for um.
Hopefully you keep listening past that if we see a
lot of people drop off past one minute to the podcast,

(00:21):
and we understand, we understand your feelings. But so topic
of the week, every topic of the month, topic of
the year, don't guess. So that's that's a topic of
the year so far. Will Smith um pimp slaps Chris
Rock on stage. Um, no dude for Shark tells here

(00:42):
everybody's Chris pretty much. Uh. Initial thoughts on it, Um,
who was right? It was wrong? How would you have
handled it? Uh? Initial thoughts. I thought it was fake
at first, and then I thought it was real. Then
I went back on my first I don't know. I'm
kind of in this smithpoint, like, I don't know what
it is, but um, I think he'll react it. I

(01:04):
think he'll react it. I feel like, you mean, it's
a comedian is making like me? Obviously he like cut
deep with the hair loss situation, but it's a comedian
at the end of the day. That's what they make
money for us, what they do, that's why he's there.
So I mean, that's kind of slight reaction there. But
with Will Smith's passed in his marriage, I can see

(01:28):
why he reacted that way, and because there's a sense
of protection there and if he didn't do that, there
would be this big backlash like, oh, why do you
protect your life? You know what I mean. So I
don't know. I can see it both ways, but I'm
standing on if it's fake or not. Yeah, I don't
know if it's real or not. The one thing I
will say is that when they showed Will Smith right

(01:49):
after the joke, he was laughing and then then all
of a sudden it changed. Um. Also, I don't know
if you guys watched, but the Oscars last year, Ricky
Gervy ace like comedians. You should watch what he said.
He was like brutal to the crowd and no one
really reacted like that. So I don't know, Like he said,

(02:09):
that's a little different because as his wife, and there's
been some mystery there. But I don't know right now
my real I think it's I think it's real because
he released a statement about it, but I don't know.
I feel like it's fake. I feel like it's fake.
Sat there, I sat there and sitting here. He dissect
his video for like twenty thirty minutes, and a couple

(02:30):
of things came out. One like what you said, he
laughed after the first, after the joke was made. Okay,
you can you can compensate for that. Be like Jada
looked at him and it was like, all right, now
you gotta go do something, all right, Even if you
did go to go do something, If you look at
the video, you can see Chris Rock like the way
when Will was approaching him, like Chris Rock, like it

(02:51):
looked like he stuck his chin out basically like raised
for it, because he never actually like looked like imagine
somebody's walking up to you, right and you don't really
know what kind of just they have obviously, like his
hands is behind his back and all the time didn't move,
and then when he got closer to him, he basically
just like basically stuck his chin out like too, almost

(03:11):
brace for it. And it's just kind of like, Also,
you gotta look at how hard how hard quote unquote
he hit him right in a way you get hit
that hard. And your feet don't even move like he
His feet can't even moved like his like his feet,
he didn't stumble, he didn't do nothing like it could
rebuttal to your first point, we joke about very sensitive

(03:35):
stuff all the time. If I was to crack or
if one of us was to crack a joke on
the other person, you wouldn't have any reaction if the
person that you cracked a joke with got up and
walked towards you. Because you're looking, we're close. We understand,
like all right, just dud, it's not actually but but
it's okay, but pretty close. But look look how close

(03:55):
he got to him, Like he didn't even move his
hands a whole time. Like imagine if I started cocking
up on you would at least put your hands up here,
oh what, like what are you doing? J Like what's up?
Like you wouldn't be like you wanted to hit me,
but you would at least like if I just want
like this close to you, like we're basically this close
to each other, you would be like, bro, what are
you doing? Back up your hands, your hands and behind

(04:16):
your back, talking about bro, what are you doing? You
see what I'm saying, so that in the way how
like you gotta watch the videogame. But the way he
like basically like stiffened up before you punched him, like
he had his chin down, so like I don't know
you ever played when he was a little y'all ever
like like your cousins or your brother or whatever, and
you'all like just y'all like hit each other, like all right,

(04:37):
hit me, like I want you to see you know
what I'm saying. Okay, so when you do that, right,
what's your first reaction? Like your chin level? What's your
first reaction? Is he go up here or is like
hit me and you look down like this? I don't know, bro,
when you like, all right, just hit me, do you
go like you like this hit me? You don't go

(04:58):
like that? Right, So the whole on he stopped and
then went like this with his chin looking down, never
looked Will in the eye, Will Will hit him? I
guess whatever it was. And then I was at And
then if you hear the sound on TV, it sounds
like one of the punch he's from, like like a
like a movie. It sounds like a movie punch and
it's kind of like and you also got to know

(05:19):
that live TVs never live Super Bowl that one year
what's her name, I forgot who it was had the
nip slip Janet Jackson. It was ten seconds live TVs
ten seconds behind or having any seconds behind. They were
able to correct it, but they silenced th Aut it
like they saw that the audio what you mean, like

(05:41):
rafter the audio wouldn't blame on the TV because he
was like keep my wife's name afterr F and mouth
or something like that, and you can see his mouth moment,
but you couldn't hear it here. So there's like a
leaked like they forgot to take it out in like
Australia or something like that. So I guess what I
was looking at was the well I guess Twitter had said, dude,
you're looking at yeah, but on live TV the audio

(06:03):
went out. That's the that's the part that I think
it's really the fake part about it. I think is well,
something someone told me this and I thought about it.
Will literally did just win like Best Actor of the
Year or Best Actor in the Oscar, so it can
go in alignment with that, But at the time there's
a real case there you're gonna be honest, I kind
of disagree with everything Kej just said. I think it's

(06:24):
a percent real. Um, first off, I think he won
the Oscar after the situation happened. Um, it's like one
of those things where like he like it's like he
laughs like like it's not like he's laughing. He's like, come,
I've just slapped it out of this dude. Like and
then he looks at Jada. Jada is obviously sick, and

(06:46):
that's your girl, like and I can't imagine like all
the you're distateful, but it's the truth that is definitely
his girls. Mother is kids, like and he's still with it.
They got through it or whatever, but it Um, but
you look at your the mother, your children, the girl
you've been in love with for forever, and she's feeling

(07:09):
some type of way and now all the stuff's going
through his head, everything that's been going on the past year.
And I mean, I bet the most she got the
better of him. And I feel like when he walks
into the stage, if you're Chris Rock, like Chris Rocks
from the hood, like he should know better. Like if
you make a joke about somebody's girl and walk up,
walk up to you like he's been in a fight before,
like you know, a certain way to dude walks up

(07:29):
to you like he's not about to and I think
he stuck his chin out because he thought Will was
about to say something to him, like he was. He
was like sticking out to like about to listen to
him if he's about to whisper. And then he walks
up slaps him. And I think the sound was like
that because his mike was right under his neck and
it was like it sounds it was like it sounded
like that she's going off the point you say, you

(07:49):
know he understands even that has nothing to understand it,
but you understand like someone someone's about to do something,
you wash your hands on your back, you know. But
that's what I'm saying. That's where I'm saying he messed
up because he should have known, like he'd been a
fight before, you the way you do walk up to
you after you make a joke about his girl. He
should have known that, like he wasn't about to hug him.

(08:10):
Like but I mean, but I'm giving the benefit of
doubt because you're at the Oscars and it's never happened before,
and you guys have had a good relationship in the past,
I think, But I don't know. But uh, I think
Will should have definitely handled if you want to fight
fight after fight, backstage fight during commercial break, but you
gotta be better than that. In my but I understand

(08:32):
where he's coming from. But I know it was just
a bad situment. I do respect Chris Rock for what
he did after. He like was very professional, kept the
show going, and it's kind of funny. He's like, uh,
he's he was like it was a g at Jane
joke and he says like whatever, and then he looks
at the cameras like, I could you know what? Never mind,
I'm gona let go, because he could have really liked,

(08:54):
really ruined him right there by just saying what everybody
else was thinking. But I don't know that dude. Y'all
think Chris Rock should have no slapping back. I think
I think first it was a bad display of Will's character,
Like everybody knows Will outside of whatever he went through
with the whole entangment stuff whatever. Everybody knows, no Will,

(09:15):
that's this good guy, ambitious, blah blah blah, like all
that good stuff. That what five seconds probably ruined his
image in a lot of people's mind and that's just
split reaction off like how he's feeling in that moment.
I feel like in that case, no matter, no matter
if your wife's pushing you or not, you gotta step
back and realize, Okay, look at the situation, look at

(09:38):
the environment, Like there's million people watching a million millions
of people that's watching me who look up to me
at that and can just act the fool in that
social setting everyone sorry, no, go ahead, Like the point
of the oscars is kind of like people get made
fun of all the time. And Chris Rock's a comedian,

(09:58):
Like that's are as we know they've had like a relationship,
you know, beyond professionally where their friends like they're aware
of what each of them does professionally, the comedian and
actor or both. And I don't like if you think
about what he did, like he walked up there, you
had to think about it and just like slapped him
and walked back and like everyone like everyone's like cheering

(10:18):
when he stood up because they weren't sure everything to do,
and then it just went silent. Everyone's like WHOA didn't
have to like what did I? What did I really
gain it I gained respect or did I gain my
emotions back? I think he gained respect in a lot
of people's eyes. I think in the female community he
did at least because I mean the he's standing up

(10:40):
for his girl, and how reputable is that? Like I
mean not the female community, not saying that that community
and reputable? How reputable? Stop people who gained respect, Like
think about think about the situation, Like what real man
who respects himself. I'm not saying he doesn't respect his
girl from I mean his wife, but respects himself. It's
going to not even he meliating himself, but act and such.

(11:05):
I don't even know. I'm just looking at it, like
act off emotions in that way, I mean honestly, like
we're going off. There was real. I still don't think
it's real, but say it was. I feel like one.
I mean, I don't know if you've ever seen like
red table with so like the wish the way like

(11:28):
I mean, like you obviously sometimes that's his girl and
obviously that's some other's children of course, um like the
way she would publicly come out and say, like I've
been in love with X such and such this whole time,
even though, do you see what I'm saying, Like she's
been with Will, like all those other things that happened,
Like I'm surprised. I'm surprised he even got I can

(11:51):
I can see why he got mad like that, but
I'm surprised how he rationalized getting up and doing that.
And that's saying he did it. I don't think he
did it. I still think this was a player. Some
source to oscars haven't be getting great ratings. People are
definitely tuning in next year, that's for sure. Um, I

(12:11):
don't think. I don't think it's real. But saying it's real,
the fact that you rationalize doing all that to punch
a man in the face, and then on top of that,
what kind of satisfaction is is she going to get
from that? Like she's still satisfaction. I don't think she did.
My husband just stood up for me in front of
millions of people. I mean if but like that's very

(12:33):
that's very childish in my opinion, Like that I could
see backstage, backstage, you get going like you approach you
approach them in private, like you do whatever got do
in private. But like my husband just stood up from
me in front of millions of people. What is the
in front of millions of people actually getting you? I
mean it's he's not afraid to do it, Like he's
not afraid to show people that he will standing up.

(12:54):
But if you're in long committed relationship that they're in,
she should already know that she didn't have and take
for Will to stand up and slap somebody in the
face in front of millions of people for her to
have that satisfaction. Yeah, but I think she definitely got
some satisfaction out of that because I mean, like I said,
they've been married, like whatever has happened, they gone to
a point where social media and everything. There's a bunch

(13:16):
of trolls on Twitter, Instagram and they've been hearing this,
especially Will. It's gonna be harder on Will and it
is on her. I mean, I don't want to assume,
but it's a relationship. But I mean for him to
get up and do that, and I'm sure there's been
some insecurities within their relationship and that's kind of reassuring
to her that he would still do this after everything
I did, and like even after everything I did, we've

(13:37):
gone through or whatever, but it's still it is what
it is still out there that he was still get
up and do this means he still cares for me
just as much before all this, all the other ship
came out all right, and if all the time rules
back to sports, I guess, um, so it is correct
me if I'm wrong, Connor the house referee, UM, we

(13:59):
just six, yeah, go ahead. They voted earlier this week.
It was twenty night three three UM in favor of
changing the NFL over time rules for the postseason and
regular season. It will remain the same, so the postseason,
both teams will be guaranteed a possession. If the first
team scores a touchdown, the other team gets to rebuttal
if they all scored touchdown, then it turns into sudden death.

(14:24):
Matter either what do you mean, like, why is it
only the postseason? Because one of the season is already
too long? And I don't and the teams didn't vote
for that sudden death fewst sudden death is just yeah
from that point on, I believe if you scored, if
you score, But will they be do you know if
they'll be doing kickoffs or will they just get the

(14:45):
ball to t I believe it'll be kickoffs. I mean
as far as I know, I feel like, um, I
don't know if I feel like that goes against a
kind of con'try well, I guess them doing in the postseason.
UM takes this to a lesser extent, but it kind
of contradicts their recently of not using college rules. How So,

(15:06):
because when we had this conversation last time, one of
the big things that we talked about was that they
did they wanted to take less strain off the off
these players bodies, and they didn't want um add Howard,
it may add up if you added up at the
end of the season another game or two to the bodies.
But yeah, literally they're literally doing they could go for

(15:31):
like two more quarters. Essentially, literally they're literally doing literally
adapted like the college rules for one little can you
can you repeat it? So it's it's they both teams
get opportunity to score, and then after that they only
kicked field goals and they still get more options after
that sudden death regular football, who ever scores first win.
So doesn't that still give the team who gets the

(15:52):
ball first the advantage? Because what if they both score
right now? We try to just like at the same thing,
you're just adding an extra step to I mean take off,
so you should prevent them. Okay, I didn't make the rules.
What the hell? One little side note. If there's no
winner at the end of the fourth overtime period, like
they still they there's another coin toss. Oh my god,

(16:15):
that that literally contradicts original that's so asked. I'll just
run half died. Three teams that voted no on that,
like the Bengals, Chiefs, and someone else, probably the Chiefs.
It's just like they just prolonged this decision to it's

(16:35):
the same thing. Just like what an extra quarter at
this point? I don't know. I don't know. So does
your philosophy change on that? Would you? If you score first,
you go for two. You just kicked the field goal play,
it's safe kick the extra point. I mean, I'm so
it's a coin toss, but it's a coin toss. After
the second person scored, everything is the same and everything,
but like, yeah, coin toss and their team goes and

(16:57):
then you have a rebuttal Chance said, there's no clock though, right,
there's a clock. Why do they need to be a
clock because at that period, let's say both teams score
and then no one scores for the rest of it's
it's still okay. It's not based off possessions. It's based
off the clock. So no one scores after fifteen minutes,
it's want they just make it like an eight minute
That's what basketball. What happens that if no one scores

(17:20):
and they just started over again and they just go
back to they go back to office defensive game. No,
it's sudden death from that point on. I think so
for our podcast listeners, UM are very own. Paul Farrington
is here in the garage with us. He always is,
and he just proposed a hypothetical where Saint Patrick Homes

(17:42):
leads the Kansas City Chiefs down and they score a
touchdown uh uh to Travis Kelsey. Harrison Bucker kicks the
field goal at seven points. Now they're up seven West
Mr grad Yep, shout Atlanta UM. Josh Allen goes down,
they throw a touchdown to Stefan Diggs. It's now one
point game. Do they go for two? Because if they
go for two and get it, they win the game.

(18:04):
If they kick the field goal and tie it, then
all Patrick Mahomes has to do with kick a field
goal to win the game, or if you don't another
coin flip after both teams scores, unless the time runs
because that just gives the advantage to the first to
Patrick Mahomes if he gets the ball first. So that
again the same thing the reason of changing the rules, right,

(18:26):
pretty sure, because after Stefan scores, then it's sudden death
right now, it's it's it's like, oh yeah, it's sad
death after the second team because that doesn't go back
to a coin toss. That's only if the clock runs
out on the overtime. I think if both teams I'm
not sure. I haven't read depth that deep until I
think if both teams score and they get a coin

(18:46):
flip back, then yeah, I'm going for two. If every sure,
that's what it is? It? Sorry, I repeat that. If
both teams score, do the Chiefs to get the ball back? Like,
say it's a fifteen minute Courts Chiefs scoring four minutes,
the Bill score in four minutes, so now there's seven
minutes left in the quarter. Did they go to a

(19:09):
coin flip after that? The coin flip only happens after
the overtime period is over, or is it after every
each team gets possession? Coin football only happens after the
overtime period is over contradicts them changing the rules. At first,
it gives advantage to the first team that scores. That's
just like at the end regulation. If they both scored,
now they're in overtime. Um so, wait, so how many

(19:31):
minutes are in the in the overtime period? Hold on.
If the score is still tied at the end of
an overtime period, or if the second teams in this
initial possession has not ended, the teams will play another
overtime period. Play will continue regardless of how many overtime
periods are needed for a winner to be determined. Um. Yeah,

(19:54):
so it's kind of just the same thing, an opportunity
to possess the ball in overtime. Each team gets three
time out during a half. Um, I'm just confused. If
the second team scores and tie the game up, then
it's just there's no there's still goes to sudden death
then why should Yeah, they're just delaying. They never at

(20:15):
that point. You still the coins are still matters a
lot exactly, and the first team that gets the balls
still has the advantage of advantage. I think they need
to do do. I think they need to do. You know,
if they're gonna do it. They just need to adopt
college rules that they're going to it's still gonna be
stringing on the body. But if you're going to change
over time rules, don't make it this. Yeah, it's it's

(20:37):
not even a change. It's just it's is more. It's
just more time. It's not even a change. That's got
a weird bro. Yeah. There. I feel like they're just
being stubborn and I'll go to college because they're supposed
to be a difference between college and NFL, and they
don't want to adapt their rules. I mean, they didn't
adapt the targeting rules in college. Um, they change the
number thing. I mean, I guess that is the same

(20:58):
as college, but I don't know, like that with the
old numbers. They finally changed on that. Like that, I
feel like nfls tries to be different from college. I mean,
you still have to stop the team from like, you
still have to score, go length to the field and
score the chief score touchdown, the bills half the score touchdown.
They can't just kick a field goal. Yeah, I know
that bomb saying No, I think there's it's there's it's
definitely faulted because if both teams score and all the

(21:21):
Chiefs need because it's traditional sudden death, all they need
is a field goal. Yeah yeah, they don't even have
to score, No they don't, Okay, yeah, yeah, you're right,
you're it goes to traditional sudden death, which is um
first first safety field goal or touched on directly. All right,

(21:42):
so we're back to square one. More of the story.
Just beat the team in regulation. Honestly we will. We'll
revisit this in ten years when they change the rule again. Um.
All right, So now I'm moving on to the final four,
uh coming up this Saturday. I believe UM Duke un
C Villanova versus Kansas would probably focus more on Duke

(22:04):
you and C. You no offense to those schools, those
others two schools, but I mean, y'all, best of luck.
But um, obviously the main stories Duke un C one
of the biggest rivals revivalries in sports, Um Duke or
unc ruined Duke's special night coach Gays last came at home,
came in and beat him. And then they I don't
know if you heard, but like their coach dropped him off.

(22:26):
Like you saw how Chapel Hill was, Like there's like
a riot, like in Middle Chapel Hill. There's like a
bunch of people on the roads celebrating because they beat
Duke and like spoiled their special night or whatever. And
then on the bus home the coaches like, enjoy this moment.
So he drives through the whole crowd, or he does
a drive, but he tells the bus drivers drive through
the whole crowd and dropped the kids off, like dropped

(22:48):
the players off in the middle of all of it,
and so he was like, go have fun, enjoy the night.
So that was dope. But I'm sure Duke heard about that,
and Duke's not feeling too good about it. So, um,
who do you all think will win? Do you all
feel like emotion in a game like that matters a lot?
Like you think keeping level head like it is probably
like the difference in the game. Uh to answer you

(23:09):
start questioning, yes, Um, I feel like that's probably one
of the over um, the overready things about games like
that and just getting like overhyped about it and get
your autra game. I think doo Goo win because of
the coach k thing like this last season and I

(23:32):
didn't I didn't know that story, so that has more
to it. So I think doole and sorry An it's
about to say game prediction score, Yeah, go for it.
I'm going on seventy one. I love sending one for somebody. Okay,

(23:53):
I got North Carolina one. I strongly just like Duke
and Kay. I hate how Coach K has made this
season about himself and now last game it was Coach
K season. Coach literally every time they play a game,
like some of them have a good play and then
the show Coach K, not the player. I'm Coach K.
Do that screen Coach K, he's a weirdo. I don't

(24:16):
think that's weird. I don't think he's all that he's
a weirdo. I think I think North Carolina wins um
sift nine. I stop paying attention out to my bracket
was screwed in the first week. So but I will
say I don't really have to me emotions about this game. Honestly,

(24:38):
I'm gonna say, I'm just gonna say, dude, Coach K,
he's going out, he's a legend, he's o g just
let Duke win it. I'm gonna go ahead say seventies
sixty sixty nine. Nice. I think Duke wins seventies six
to seventy four. Um, I think don't know. I've always

(25:01):
kind of like Duke Um, kind of Notre Dame mish
Notre Dame in the South. Um, but we got to
stick together, like Notre Dame Patriots, Cowboys, we all got
to stick together, the hated teams in America. But I
think Cola Bancher is one of the best players in
college basketball, and he's gonna be a top three pick

(25:22):
this year. And I just don't see anybody really stopping him,
especially after he's been playing really well along with Mark Williams.
I think that's his name. One I think is really good.
Bro Okay yeah, b And I think it's really hard
to beat Coach Kay twice, um, Coachka, Coach Gay, shut up,
Coach kas what's your what's your? Don't know? I don't,

(25:47):
I don't think, I don't. I don't like how he's
handled the situation for this last season. It's not him though,
like the other teams are celebrating him. He's not like,
all right, I'm pulling up y'all need to need to
get something basketball news. He's a basketball He's a basketball
g like you gotta pay home. It's just kind of
like kind like kind. Yeah, saying wouldn't wouldn't make it

(26:10):
about him, so that's all he coach KS and making
it about coach K. The fact that he's won a
thousand games, like twelve games is what's making it about
Coach K. Coach K man, dude hate he goes coach K.
Coach KA shut up. Uh, but y'all got in Kansas

(26:33):
Villanova really quick. Kansas Villanova's second league scored towards all.
I was gonna say the same thing Kansas put it in.
Mm hmm. Okay, I got Villanova really why Kansas? No?
I have Kansas winning because oh gotcha? Okay. Secondly in
sc alright, we'll still got Villanova because I already said it,

(26:56):
shout out. Mm hmm. Yeah, I still got Kansas though. Yeah,
I'm gonna go Kansas. I'm gonna go to Kansas as well.
That would be a good championship game to Kansas. North Carolina.
Kansas is live. What about the women's final four? We
got Louisville Verrus, South Carolina. I think they're both wanted

(27:16):
two seeds, and then Yukon Verse Stanford, who I both
won seats. I have South Carolina because they have um
feetball players from Baltimore on the team, and then I
have Yukon just because of tradition. Um, I have Stanford.
Ukon's actually two seeds by the way, Okay, and then

(27:37):
they b NC State. That was a hell of a game,
it was. I have South Carolina a Carolina wanting at
all because they have the player of the year. Yeah,
I'm gonna say Yukon page Buker's and I'm gonna say
South Carolina just because I feel like they I feel
like they've been playing good ball lately. So yeah, I'm
gonna say Yukon. Uh. I was my more fan growing up.

(27:59):
She's a buck and page Bookers. I think that's how
you say name. I don't want to budge it, but
trying my best Page Viaker. She's really good, um and
came off injury, came back, didn't didn't miss a step.
And then South Carolina My girlfriend goes there. So I'm
just gonna write with them points Vikers didn't miss a
shot in over time because she was like an She's

(28:19):
like for eight at one points. Yeah, but I mean,
obviously the final four is like some of the motion
emotional basketball, let alone sports like that would be played.
How do you, like, do you think that like emotions
have affected a game where you've been playing it. I
mean emotions affect every game, but like some of the
big games that we played in, do you think the

(28:41):
emotions like maybe affected going into the game how you
approached it or like did you just put it aside?
And that's just something you have to do? Like every game,
I think I approach it. Um, I tried to at
least I try to make sure I approach every game
the same because, like I said, I feel like that
like over that pressure like and UM in Duke situation,

(29:05):
like they have to play for their coach, that that
that added pressure, that added anxiety makes me work soft
than if I was just approach it like a normal game. So, UM,
even when like Cincinnati and there's like all this hype
around coach Kelly coming from Cincinnati, UM coach Makan's, coach Freeman,

(29:25):
like all like we at that point, I think we
have like eight coaches that coach that Cincinnati at some
point in time, And there's always type like you have
to when you have to, when you have to win
Cincinnati's let's ranked at that that point, And I was
like I think I sat down with myself, I'm like,
all right, it's two ways you can process game of
your process game with Okay, let's get you sed up,
let's get juiced up, and just go out there and

(29:46):
m A every play miss tackles, miss plays. Or I
can just approach it as I've approached every other game
this year and obviously correct my mistakes and do what
I have to do to make sure I play well,
but don't allow that to get to my head because
that makes me playoffside of my game. I think the
teams that are successful into like postseasons, or the teams
that take not take the emotion out of the game.

(30:08):
Like don't get me wrong, like you need emotion. You
need that like juice going a new game like um.
But there's a fine line between like too much where
you're too concerned about like the hype like Camp said,
and you start to like m A because like you're
doing some stuff like that's on characteristic those who don't
know m A means misassignment, so you pretty much just
mess your playoff Like like I just think teams that

(30:31):
that are hyped up but remain calm and treat it
like a normal game are the ones that are successful
in postseasons. Yeah, I definitely think that like being able
to keep composure and taking your emotions out of it
definitely helps because I mean, if you're thinking about all that,
there's a lot of that happens, well I guess, I
mean I don't I don't know. I never who so

(30:52):
I don't know how basketball they played, calling stuff like
that goes. But I know playing football, like, there's a
lot that happens pre snap that you have to be
able to read. You have to be able to see.
So like if you're sitting there letting emotions get in
your head too, it's just gonna cloud it and you're
more likely gonna mess up. So yeah, and I feel
like I definitely feel like my freshman year I struggle
with that, just like pressing too hard for players like

(31:13):
Georgia playing in front of a lot of people I know,
and like I come to the sideline get like it's
like that not the big players aren't as important. It's
like the plays that you missed. You're like, damn, I
like really needed to make that. And like emotional games
like that, So, um, I mean something I got better at.
But it's definitely easier to approach the game in a

(31:34):
non emotional way and just got do my job. Celebrate
the highs. Yeah yeah, I would say like midweek when
we're at the both site, Um, I got to because
we were there, we were pondering for a while. We're
there's like we were surrounded by the hype for a
long time. So I feel like there was a point
in midweek when I had to send myself down like

(31:56):
all right, bro, you still have to like figure out
like what you need to do in this game. Because
it was a point where I'm like ship, like, no,
dame hasn't won a big game the while like Fiesta
Bow where in Arizona in his beautiful state, Like there's
a there's a lot going on in my mind. And
then like a few days before the game, like all right,
well I was hurt at the time to add to that,

(32:16):
but once I realized, okay, I'm clear to playing this game,
I sat down. It's like okay, I need to get
my thoughts together because they were getting a little bit
too I and I feel like that happens a lot,
like midweek, but once the game, like they have a
game night of game, like all right, I'm chilling. I
need to just where about myself rather than opponent or
the hyper on the game. Definitely feel that control your

(32:38):
controllable respects. Um. Alright, moving on the outside the garage.
Now this comes from Gardner. She and Um ask some
great questions actually respect. So I know the cause of
your death or the date of your death, I would
say I would like to know the date. They're both

(32:59):
sad answers. I would like to know the date because
if the cause is like drinking water, but like eighty
years from now, then every single glass of water I drink,
or maybe I just don't drink water for eighty years
and then, like I don't know, someiztic realistic like like

(33:20):
I don't you fall down the steps? So every time
I go down the steps from here on, there's gonna
be exciting. But like if I know I die at
five years old and it just so happens to be
falling on the steps, I'm like, all right, well, I
love the good life up until now. What if it
was like way younger and you're like it's like tomorrow,
knock on wood, you gonna start sliding those stairs. I

(33:45):
get one of those things that just takes you up
the stairs like an up. I would say I know
the date, And when I first seen this question, I
didn't even think about it that. I was like, shoot,
if I know the date, that that day right before
I'm going to do something d wild wild just total
line a little bit. And if I go out the
day before, didn't know. I was just thinking, like what

(34:06):
if it's like a turtle like comes and kills you.
I was just in like the day of if I
knew both, and like the day of my death is
a turtle. I'm just like looking at like I don't know,
how are you about to do this? I want to
see how you kill me. I feel like the day
would be money. There's gotta be some butterfly effect with
this though. If you know, every action you're gonna do
is different. But like, is that why you died at

(34:29):
that certain day? It hasn't right. I would say dated
the death though. That's why I look thinking about it,
like if you know the cause, Like what if it's
something like sickness, like you don't know how to avoid sickness,
control the controllables. Yeah, I probably do. Date, Yeah, definitely

(34:49):
date because I mean I don't know. I don't know,
and you'd say the day before you do something. Well,
like if I knew the day and I would, I
would take life in. But I was about a very
childish like mindset. But I said, I'm gonna go skydive
day before like something that's just like push pushed my
life a little bit longer. So I'm thinking, like I
get the day, then I'll just make me want to

(35:10):
be like all right, well we should already act like this,
but like you know, life made something like we should
take every day. We shouldn't take everybody for granted. But
have y'all I tried to come up with a movie
I do, but it's kind of the same thing as
this Have y'all Seen Time with Justin timber Lake And
it's like I'm not gonna get into it. Never mind,
Um it's a great movie. I should watch it. Um.

(35:35):
It's kind of like that, like you have like time
stamp on your arm. I was kind of thinking, like
what if we all got a text that like Christmas
on certain years, like this is the day you're gonna dine,
and we all text a group chi like yo, what
did you get with day? And I'm like, oh, I
got like eighties seven catches like I got tomorrow again,

(35:56):
like I get Uh would be so sick. Imagine I
walked in for the ticket today. You know what, I
don't even talk about alright. Second one, we're going gardener
she and again he asked us to would you take

(36:17):
one million dollars up front or flip a coin for
ten million? I'm taking my chances, bro, flip that coin.
I'm flipping a coin. Shout out ni McLoud face back.
Opportunity costs is fifty though, very enticing. But that has
a very good chance. Well, I guess camp would say,

(36:40):
it's not fifty chance. It's not get back to that
conversation chance. Well the circle it's coming back. I'm not
getting this right now. We cannot you want to hear
this argument. We can go back um a few podcasts
and listen to that. But it's not fifty bits of chance.
But I'm still gonna flip that coin. No. One time
is if you want, that's probably the least. It's what

(37:05):
all right now, it's not I'm got me in camera.
My argument was if you stopped time right now, then
you go back from when the was originally flipped, and
you count them all it's not gonna be fifty. We
don't have to get into it. It might be like seventy,
it might be just like a billion years from now.
It turns out, but it won't even bet then you
have to go to the end of time for forever. See.

(37:29):
That's the thing though. It was the thing that saying
all right, I was like the end of time. There's time,
but we knew if there wasn't in a time I
still want. We're getting worried out from the coiner for
what fifth was ten? Oh, I'm still flipping that coin.

(37:51):
And my reason mine is I feel like, um, if
I if my life goes the way that I think
it's going to go, then I will make one million.
There's a chance that I won't make ten million dollars
to me, and that was a ship a ton of money.
Facts can say. If that thing doesn't land on whatever
you call in my face that uh all right, what

(38:16):
did you say? What do you say? The coin? Alright?
Bet we'd all flip alright, yeah, I flip that. Yeah,
we just have a lens on them. Both questions, Um, yeah,
good questions. But we're gonna wrap it up there. Appreciate
you all. Listening. Um, let us know who is in
the wrong, who's in the right, the whole Will Smith,
Chris Rock thing. What's your opinions on it? Were? Um,

TikTok just uh, but yeah, let us know, d ms,
