"And really kind of coming to the realization that, you know what, how do I even know that the person posting this is even a real person? How do I know it's not even a bot? And really just kind of dismissing that entire stream. But I have to also mention that if I'm not following politics and I'm not, there isn't that much else to really talk about. Of course there should be, but news is dominat...
"This is a cost cutting, cost cutting initiative. I don't see how this can kind of come in, step in and solve the problems that need to be happening within the aviation system. But this is where we're at. And expect more of this DEI to blame DOGE to solve the problem. It's just that easy."
"And instead of uniting the people around a tragedy, he chose a path of division, basically baselessly claiming that it might have been a reason that proved to be not at all existent. That, to me is concerning. Especially if we have another crisis on the scale of COVID or worse or even not as bad. It just has shown to me over this past 10 days that crisis Management is still not a forte of Donal...
"But if you look over in the afc, the AFC is very top heavy. But pretty much everything that was in place at the halfway point of the season pretty much just floated on by and we have Denver grabbing that last playoff spot, which we thought was going to happen. So nothing really much changed in the last half of the season for the afc. And it does appear like it really is just a three team confer...
"But there was a lot of uproar about Indiana being in, about SMU being in and not Alabama, and of course some of the other SEC teams with three losses, including Mississippi and South Carolina. Well then a funny thing happens during their bowl games. Alabama losing to a depleted Michigan team. Michigan without their best players with a limited quarterback playing still went on to beat Alabama. S...
"Because after the election, as I mentioned on this swellcast here, I took a break from politics and I had planned to do that no matter who won the election. But I really wanted to take a break and really just kind of, you guys, everybody has voted in who they wanted as the President, as the Senate of the House, and I was going to leave it alone. And let's see what happens. And for the most part...
"But at the same time, what a magical ride. This was. Everything that I love about college football, about college sports in general this year, just really bringing everybody together and putting us all on a magic carpet ride that I'll just never forget. This was so much fun and I really just had to share that."
"And don't forget Arizona State and, and Boise State just having incredible years to get buys in this College Football Playoff. Really amazing things. But as we look to what we are going to get this weekend, I look at the spreads and there's really not a lot of close games that Vegas thinks are going to be close. Every game spread is at least seven and a half points. And Texas is favored by elev...
"Are we making decisions on our hard earned money to be investing into farts and something named Fart Coin? It really is a testament to how creative or how creativity and community can really challenge the traditional notions of value in this financial world. And for me, I'm lost. I'm going down, throwing out all those books of value, looking at cash flows, financial statements, what is coming o...
"They really don't depend on it. But about 60% of the private smaller firms actually depend on these loans tied to short term interest rates. And when they're high, they're not going to be as likely to hire on people and create those jobs. And with them being high, we know that on December 18th, Jerome Powell, it will most likely bring rates down again. He sees the same report that we're looking...
"And I'm saying this not to diminish the death of Brian Thompson, but I'm saying this because there is true frustration from people that have had to go through the process of doing claims through United Healthcare and other health care companies that have gotten denied, that have had to fight, that have had to stay online for hours on end to really fight, to get paid, to get covered. I've been o...
"And you could have seen like you saw in 1990 and 1991, a split champion, which really kind of set everything in motion towards a playoff system. Now the next iteration was when we went to the BCS and putted the number one versus number two teams. Now if this was prior to the Big Ten Champions Championship, which is only in 2009, we would definitely be looking at Oregon and Texas."
"These are two things that I think college athletics have always taught us in the past. But I think we've lost our way a little bit now. Moving on to the cfp, we have our field pretty much set. There will be and I think the big controversy will be that last team in. Will it be Alabama? Will it be South Carolina? Will it be smu? Should SMU lose to Clemson? Is Miami still in the mix?"
"I get that they are in rebuilding mode and I get that they're not what they were last year, but this is still two programs that were at the very top, the top of college football. And they played them both this year. A little bit of luck for Indiana, but that is really out of their Control how good a team is when they actually play them in the year that they play them. And then let's take a look...
"So you have two people of two different generations that have generated probably the most amount of eyeballs in the sport. But let's put all that aside and let's talk about the boxing aspect of this. Who's going to win? Who's got the matchups? What is the tale of the tape now when we take a look at Jake Paul, he's the younger guy, of course, the younger guy. So he's going to have more energy."
"And the last one that I can really think of that had a major impact was probably the Patriot Act. We've gone almost 20 years without major bipartisan legislation. That's not good. And I think that's why we're in a space where people have completely rejected the Democratic Party. At least that's what I think in this past election. But I've always thought that even if I disagree with somebody, I ...
"What do you carry on a daily basis? I carry wallet, keys, a phone, maybe cash money. And Chapstick. In fact, I just checked my pockets right now, and that's exactly what I have in my pockets. That's it. But if I'm going into nighttime and I'm getting into something that's a little bit more comfortable, maybe some sweatpants. I won't carry the keys, I won't carry the money. I won't carry wallets...
"There are plenty of them, so I will get to that. But let's start in the Eastern Conference and let's look at the topic. Cleveland Cavaliers 9 and oh, they're looking to become the first team in NBA history to go undefeated. Like the 1972 Miami Dolphins. I'm kidding there. But they do look good. They're relatively injury free right now, which was a big concern of everybody in the Eastern Confere...
"As I look across the gamut, I see a lot of voters with that same kind of mindset. And my question to them is, well, if you don't care about what things that I think you should care about, why should I care? Maybe it's time for me to get selfish. Maybe it's time for me to vote in my self interest and go home. I have voted against my self interest for years, and I think others that I talked to ha...
"Now, I thought that a lot of leanings, a lot of anecdotal evidence were pointing towards Kamala Harris. I thought women getting out and voting in greater numbers than men suggested that they were voting for Kamala Harris. Now, I did mention that that may not be true, and that was not true. It was not only women, but Latinos, black men, a lot of voting blocs that had voted for Joe Biden just wer...
