Want to thank Steven Summerlinfor being on the show the last time
we recorded before Christmas.
Absolute pleasure havingStephen on, and I look forward to
(02:16):
having him on in your stay.
Yeah, I got to run it.
Run it by him because I hopehe picked up that I was like, stephen,
we need you.
Yeah.
So it would be awesome ifStephen could do that.
So I think.
I think what we're going to dois when Leroy is not available, Steven
will be available, and whenSteven's not available, make Leroy
available.
So, I guess round table.
Yeah.
That sort of news is thatLeroy Green is also going to be.
(02:39):
It takes a lot of people toreplace you, Zach.
That's.
That's essentially what I'mtrying to say.
I'm basically three people in one.
I'm talking to him right now.
Yeah, see?
Shut up.
You are not welcome in here.
I'm Comic Accurate Deadpoolwhen it comes to the insanity, because
in case you don't know and youjust seen the movies.
Deadpool actually has multipletwo more voices in his head talking
(03:01):
to him.
So that's the fourth wall.
He is breaking the fourth walland he has other personalities or
other voices in his head.
Interesting.
See, you learn something.
That is what this show is for.
It's hilarious to read thoseother voices in the comics because
it just adds depth for him tobanter with.
Was it maybe a device that thewriter and author needed to use?
(03:26):
Maybe, but it works perfect.
This is not a solo comic.
This can't be a solo comic.
He can't run around and dostuff and just quip about it.
He has to talk to somebody.
Yeah.
So just as a reminder, Zach'shaving twins.
I guess they will be herebefore April.
Probably there will.
(03:48):
And I'll, I'll just not toscare you, but 37 weeks, and I'm
sure you already know this, 37weeks is generally the cutoff for
twins.
That is, they are, they arefully born, they're fully grown,
they're ready for birth and,and generally it's just healthier
for your wife and, and the children.
(04:10):
Well, we had their four hourlong anatomy scan, but it was beautiful
getting to see them.
But they cover one baby headto toe.
You know how long just onebaby takes?
Yeah.
And it was the boy becausehe's got on kind of on top to the
side there, so he was easy.
And then my girl was kind ofunder on the side.
But they're both have alltheir toes, no cleft palates.
(04:31):
Their brains are formed.
Perfectly beautiful brains onthese babies.
Everything looked perfect.
Their eyes sockets, everything.
All.
All 20.
All 20 fingers and 20 toes present.
That's awesome.
That was awesome to see.
And then their weights.
The boy was 1.3 pounds and thegirl was 1 pound, so.
Okay.
(04:51):
Okay.
Well, that's not unheard of.
They're gonna go throughpretty major growth spurt over the
next two years, two months.
Yeah.
And I was like, the doctor'slike, this is one thing.
We're gonna keep an eye on thesmaller one.
I was like, traditionally innature the boys are gonna be bigger
than the girls.
And I'm not sweating.
0.3 pounds.
Yeah.
You know, so now I'm excitedfor you.
(05:12):
And you know, I know there'sprobably some nervousness, there's
probably some anxiety aboutwhat's going to happen.
How do you take care of, youknow, two additional babies on top
of the third?
I'm going to tell you rightnow, it works out.
Yeah, it'll work.
It works out.
I Kind of tell Gabrielle thatall the time.
When you're in a situationlike this, you can quit and run,
(05:36):
but when you're.
If you're a caring father,period, or a caring parent, there
is no fail here.
That failure literally is notan option.
You have to make it work.
Yeah.
And you will.
Yeah.
If you fight, you make it work.
So, like my mom always said,if it's worth having is worth fighting
for.
So.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Keep fighting for it.
It's.
(05:56):
It's.
I think it's gonna be awesome.
And I can't wait to meet him.
That's gonna be exciting.
I am grateful.
I have four weeks of paidpaternity leave.
I love that for you.
That's amazing.
And then I can.
I'm probably going to use twomore weeks of vacation, so I'll be
gone for, like, a month and ahalf for my job.
It's going to be a big yearfor the.
(06:17):
The King household.
I'm excited.
I'm excited for you.
Blows my mind.
By next Christmas will be,like, six months old.
Older.
Oh, right.
About that.
Yeah.
And you'll be.
You will be 36 years old whenthey're born, correct?
Yes.
And then I will quickly, thenext month, turn 37.
37.
Yeah.
And by the time you see me, Iwill look 45.
(06:40):
What is this?
If I get the gray right here,too, I'll be like, barrett, someone's
getting Rogaine, and it ain't me.
I don't think the Rogaineaffects this.
I have.
I have considered the Rogainedye stuff.
Oh, they have Rogaine dye,Don't they give them a ding for that
one?
Well, I said it.
And I'm not talking hair loss.
I'm talking just.
Yeah, I don't.
(07:01):
I don't.
I don't know if.
I don't know if dyeing mybeard or anything like that is.
I've.
I've thought about it, butnever to the point where I, like,
went through the.
Do a jet back like Billy Maysused to have that.
Yeah.
But I never.
Like, my hair is turning pepper.
Like, I've.
I've got the grays.
It'll be your signature.
You look like Billy Mays.
You just have a jet blackbeard for no apparent reason, but
(07:23):
you use shoe shine.
That's kind of disturbing.
I just.
You should do it once.
Maybe we'll make that next year.
We'll make the PanthersFalcons bet.
Okay.
All right, Deal.
I.
You know what?
If.
If you're willing to make that.
That bet, then I Absolutely.
I.
That will be my end.
Is.
Is.
We will my.
My end of the bet if the.
(07:45):
If.
If the Falcons lose bothgames, the Panthers.
Which is entirely possiblebecause I think the Panthers are
going to be pretty good next year.
Yeah, you're kind of doing.
Panthers are going up and theFalcons are, like, going down a little.
Well, yeah, you're comingtowards our level.
And we're just like, I don't know.
The Panthers are a spoilerteam this year.
Like, I was really hoping.
And who did we spoil?
(08:06):
At the end of the day, it wasArizona was the only one.
That's true.
That.
I mean, that's true.
And Arizona was just asshocked to know that they were still
had a playoff option.
Yeah, yeah.
I know.
They asked Clowney.
They told clowning, like, howdoes it feel to spoil Arizona's playoff
hopes?
And he's like, I didn't knowthat they still had a chance.
(08:27):
We played Arizona today.
Coach just said, get me the ball.
That is the one clear.
Like, awesome thing is I cango get a Jadevion Clowney's Panthers
jersey.
Yeah.
And that's cool.
That's awesome.
I think that's really cool.
I could get a Jedevion ClowneyFalcons jersey.
Oh, bro.
It doesn't mean anything.
(08:47):
I got for Christmas.
Oh, hey, that's very cool.
You got debo on there.
J.D.
clowney and Mr.
Stefan Gilmore.
Stefan Gilmore.
You know what I have.
I have three of those sign.
I have two of those signatures.
I don't have clownies.
The only signature I don't have.
Yeah.
(09:07):
Very lovely gift.
One of the gifts that I gotfor Christmas this year was I got
a piece of the.
And I'd show it to you, butit's over on the.
On the bookshelf.
The blimp.
What's the blimp that exploded?
The Heisenberg?
Hindenburg.
Hindenburg.
(09:27):
I got a tiny fragment of the Hindenburg.
That's a morose piece of history.
This is in a guy's skull.
It's.
It's a plea.
It's a piece of the outercanvas of the Hindenburg.
So not only did Indiana Jonesride the Hindenburg once, but my
great grandmother also readthe Hindenburg.
(09:49):
Really?
That's interesting.
Yep.
She was a little kid.
That is very interesting.
I think the world wouldprobably be an interesting place
if we still had.
As if blimps were still partof the trial.
I was literally talking about blimps.
I think it was Keith.
I was like, why don't we use blimps?
Just don't fill it withhydrogen, figure out something else.
(10:11):
Yeah, I thought.
I think, like, it would bereally nice, right, to go take a
blimp somewhere.
Yeah.
I mean, you're.
If it.
If it starts going down, theworst thing is, like, we're not going
to land where we told you we were.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a field, but someoneknows where we are.
We're off by about 100 miles,but it's going to be the best landing
(10:32):
you've ever had.
Yeah.
Our crash landings are justlike, ba boom.
Yeah, it's gonna be great.

Out of the way.
Done.
I'm still on the blimp spirit.
Maybe you can only maybe.
Maybe it has to be, like,really pristine weather.
(11:16):
I don't even think that's necessary.
Like, you couldn't do a storm.
It would blow you around.
Right.
You get it?
Yeah.
But if you get the.
You.
You take the blimp up highenough that you're not in the strat.
You know, you're not in thestratosphere, where all the clouds
are and.
And storms and things like that.
I mean, that's true.
That's why planes fly at 35,40,000ft is because typically that's.
That' higher than where youwill find most of the bad weather.
(11:40):
Well, I feel like maybe theycan't go that high because then your
gas is gonna.
Even if it's inert, like,you're gonna have problems with shrinkage
or something with cold.
Oh, that's true.
Yeah.
And less atmosphere.
Well, that's.
Less atmosphere would make itget bigger.
Yeah.
So maybe that's less pressure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know that we have.
(12:01):
We have the technology.
We can.
We're just gonna Google.
Why don't we do blimps?
No mo.
Good years.
Onto something.
They're always at the football games.
The.
The.
The other business that wehave to discuss is the Coastal Comic
Con is coming up on March 1stand 2nd in Wilmington, South Carolina.
(12:23):
I will be there.
I wish that Zach was going tobe there.
I wish that I was going to bethere, too.
But they did announce theirfirst two guests so far.
And I guess I'll just, I'll,I'll just.
Who are they?
So the first guest that theyannounced last week.
First guest.
Is going to be a returningguest, Sam Witwer.
(12:47):
Sam.
I did see that Sam was coming back.
Sam's coming back.
Of course.
Emmy nominated actor SamWitwer, best known for his famous
fearsome Star wars villain,Darth Maul.
I'm reading this verbatim.
Witwer has done extensive workfor the storied Lucas Disney franchise,
including Star Wars Clonewars, for which he earned an EMMY
(13:08):
nomination in 20 asoutstanding performer in an animated
series.
Star Wars Story.
He did.
So he was in solo.
Just a bunch of games.
You're gonna know him from,from everything.
But we, we got to sit downwith Sam Witwer for a couple minutes.
Still have not released thataudio, which I should.
And I, I need to.
(13:28):
It's pretty much a crime thatit's not been released.
I know, I know.
Especially I love theirinterview with Adrian Hugh as well.
Oh, man.
Matthew Waterson also, I thinksitting down with Michael Bell.
Michael Bell.
Michael Bell.
He was the best.
He was so good.
Him and Matthew Watterson weremy two favorite ones.
They were, they were fantastic.
(13:50):
And I, I, I, I don't, I can'tgive away a lot of information.
I did have a pretty prolongedphone call today about Coastal Comic
Con and there is going to be abig announcement this week of.
They're going to do, they'regoing to do a release of three guests
or three, three of the starsthat are going to be announced this
(14:13):
week for the Coastal Comic Contaking place in Wilmington, North
Carolina at the WilmingtonConvention center on March 1st and
2nd.
So I will be there the entire weekend.
I'm looking forward to that.
I will probably send Zach abunch of text messages saying, guess
(14:35):
who I'm sitting with?
And I'll be like, fuck you,Barrett, you son of a bitch.
That's all right.
As long as come, dude.
Who knows?
Maybe I'll have a, maybe I'llhave a break and be like, are you
sure you're not having them today?
And she'll be like, I'm fine.
And I can shoot up there for a day.
Hopefully I'll have room in myhotel room.
You can just stay with me, you know.
(14:57):
Are you sure you would want tobunk with me in a hotel room?
I would prefer to bunk withyou than anyone else they're potentially
going to stick me with.
Oh, Lord.
You know, I'm all for it.
Same way where it Stares atyou in your sleep.
Some of that makes me uncomfortable.
(15:19):
In his sleep, he just goes, Kenobi.
But yeah.
So Sam Witwer has beenannounced, and the second person,
individual star that's beenannounced is.
Back.
Man, I'd love.
So two returners.
Yeah, two returners.
(15:39):
Matthew Wood.
Sam Witwer, of course, MatthewWood is.
Is known for a lot of theLucas arts.
He's done a lot of the game tests.
He's been in the games.
He and him.
He and Sam Witwer worktogether on damn near everything.
Yeah.
If Matthew Wood's doing it,Sam's right beside him, literally
doing it.
Yeah.
What Matthew Wood was.
(16:00):
He's the voice.
General Grievous.
Yeah, General Grievous.
He was also Fortuna.
Yeah, he also didn't.
He was the.
The.
The soldier bots, right?
Yeah, the battle droids.
Yeah, he's the battle droids.
So he.
Wally.
He was in Wally.
Was he Wally?
Yeah.
Let's see.
(16:21):
For Pixar Sci Fi Wall E.
Let me see.
He received his first Academyaward nomination for sound editing
for Paul Thomas Anderson'sThere Will Be blood at the 80th Academy
Award.
That's right.
He did do the sound editingfor one of my favorite movies ever.
Yeah.
There Will be Blood was fantastic.
For the Pixar sci fi film Walle at the 81st Academy Awards for
(16:46):
Star wars the Force awakens atthe 88th Academy Awards.
So these are.
These are all.
These are all things that he was.
He was a part of and wasnominated for.
That's why he and Sam Witwerget to stick in those stormtrooper
jokes.
Yeah, like the.
Have you heard about the new T56?
Oh, I just got the T55.
I didn't even know they'remaking a T56 in the next movie.
(17:06):
It'll be like, did you hearabout the new T57s?
Yeah.
Oh, no.
I just traded in my T56 for a T57.
I haven't gotten it yet.
Like, it was all kind of weirdjokes like that you can catch in
each Star wars movie.
Yeah, yeah, It's.
It's.
It's.
It's fun.
Matthew Wood is fun.
Sam Witworth.
I would not step to Sam Witweror Matthew Wood about Star wars trivia.
(17:29):
They would.
No, not me.
They would be me.
They would bomb everybody out.
Just done.
If, if, if, if.
If there is a.
If there is an opportunity tosit down with them, the likelihood
is, is that I'm hoping someonewill provide me with the notes that
I need in order To.
I'll tell you what.
Steven's down.
He could go with you.
He knows all Star wars trivia.
(17:49):
That sounds good.

Always.

No way.
Who else.
Who else do you like on the phone?
Is a very short list.
So that's, that's, that's thebig announcement.
(19:36):
3.
Three people are going to getannounced for Coastal Comic Con this
week.
That's exciting.
I'm looking forward to that.
You know, this 2025 is goingto be an interesting year, if we
haven't said it already.
Happy New Year.
I hope everybody had a MerryChristmas and, and, and that their
new year.
We're only 18 and a half hoursinto it here on the east coast, but,
(19:57):
you know, looking.
Hope everyone is lookingforward to the things that are come
up this year.
I know that there are a lot ofthings that we're not looking forward
to, but we can't do anythingabout it.
One of those being, of course,Donald Trump to be inaugurated on
January 20th, which is, youknow, 19 days away.
Just got to have that popcornnow, Barrett.
Nothing we can do?
(20:18):
No, absolutely.
And ultimately, I think that that's.
That's pretty much.
We're just going to commentateon it because that's all we can do
is Just is just.
Who didn't see this coming?
Yeah.
Bingo card is being filled outone by one instantly.
It's.
It's insane.
Some of the things.
So I wanted.
Elon Musk came out last weekbefore New Year's, before Christmas,
(20:41):
I think.
President elect, Vice president.
Vice Viceroy to the President.
Yeah, Viceroy to the President.
Elon Musk wants high techskilled immigrants and wants to expand
on the H1B immigration status,I guess the ability to bring in high
tech skilled immigrants herein the United States, which is.
Yeah.
What was that?
Read that whole Twitter post.
(21:01):
If you have it, they can fucktheir faces.
Yeah, I don't have it in frontof me, but that's pretty much what
Elon Musk said to.
Oh, it was a verbatim fuckyour face.
Yeah, which.
Which was.
That was a direct reference toa movie, wasn't it?
Well, anyway, so I told those.
(21:21):
I hate to also do that, but.
Elon Musk wants high techskilled immigrants.
But Trump ran a campaign ofgetting rid of immigrants here in
the United States.
And there are a number of.
I see it on TikTok and othersocial media posts.
There are people that feel asthough Donald Trump has turned their
(21:43):
back on them.
Which I'm just going to saythis for those people that feel like
Donald Trump turned their backon them.
Welcome to the club, you know?
Well, and they're not talkingabout like Mexican border because
those are the immigrants.
Right.
That everybody wants.
Everybody wants to stop.
Right.
(22:03):
What are you going to do?
Pull them over the wall like,you know.
C.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
You can go to DeVry Universityor University of Phoenix and get
your computer science degreeand then be welcomed into the United
States.
See, that's the thing.
Those are the.
Those are the jobs that, youknow, like I have.
(22:23):
You write JavaScript.
C.
C, C.
The direction you're leadingme down, Zach, is.
Is full of jokes.
That's funny because thesedon't know.
C.
Yeah, but these are jokes that.
Only end in racial.
Whatever.
Punchlines.
(22:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I was trying to find hisfuck your face tweet, but he tweets
way too much.
Well, I don't know if you sawthe post I put on Tick tock yesterday
or the day before.
I literally had to block ElonMusk's four Twitter accounts 48 times.
12 times each.
Over the past.
Over the past.
It wasn't even all 2024.
It was like since the.
(23:05):
Since the purchase of Twitter,40, 48 times I had to block and because
it would just get unblockedall by itself.
You know, I.
I do think it's funny that youwill still see fact corrections from
people on Elon Musk's tweets.
There was one the other day.
Maybe he gets rid of him eventually.
(23:25):
But it showed up and I waslike, right on.
If he.
If he.
At least if he established hisTwitter kingdom, it also counts for
him as well, right?
We're all paying taxes.
Yeah, well, we are all paying taxes.
Elon Musk does not pay taxes.
Need to pay taxes.
Let's.
Let's be honest.
(23:45):
He does not.
I just sell some emeralds formy father's mine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Elon Musk's wealth value onpaper has gone up more than double
since Donald Trump was elected.
Back on November 5th, ElonMusk went from about $204 billion
(24:06):
in value to.
They.
The experts, financialexperts, whatnot, have claimed that
he will be worth $600 billionby the time Trump hits his hundred
days in office.
$600 billion.
That is because in alllikelihood, they will expand on a
(24:28):
number of the governmentcontracts and subsidies that between
Tesla, SpaceX and Neuralink,those three companies alone will
likely receive very largeexpansions on their government contracts.
And you know what?
I was going to make a joke,but I bet you within this four years
(24:48):
he will.
Elon Musk will want to redothe beast, that Cadillac the President
rides in and make it like aTesla truck, Tesla cybertruck limousine
thing.
It's already bulletproof, Barrett.
Oh, my God.
I bet that's gonna happen, dude.
You just.
You just extend the.
(25:09):
The size of the beast.
He has to have like a.
Oh, shit handle to get in,like, a little lift on it.
He's like, yeah.
I suspect over the course ofthe next four years, Donald Trump
will go from the age of 78 to 82.
I suspect that at some point,Donald Trump will have to have some
sort of.
Something's got to pop outfrom underneath the limo to allow
(25:32):
him to step up into it because it's.
It's larger than your average limousine.
I mean, will publicly hispants more than one time.
Oh, 100%.
Oh, they're gonna have to.
They're gonna have to dosomething to the inside of that interior
just to.
Just to make sure that nothing.
Get him some.
Muffled sound suppressedDepends if you're doing it.
No one can know.
(25:53):
We can't help the smell.
They're saying he embarrassedhimself pretty good at that unveiling
of Notre Dame.
Notre Dame.
Sorry, Notre Dame.
In.
In Paris.
He apparently stunk.
He stunk up the vicinity.
His.
His vicinity.
Pretty bad.
I got the bubble guts.
I'm sorry.
(26:14):
Art just moves me.
The video of him sitting at.
In Notre Dame and literally noone is sitting around him, but the
reactions from people allaround him are.
Are basically just pure disgust.
You see like macaron in the background.
Like.
A gag take.
(26:34):
Would have been fantastic.
That would have been the money shot.
What is it?
Elon Musk and Donald Trumphave also grown considerably closer.
While also Donald Trump hasexpressed that he is frustrated with
the amount that Elon Musk is around.
But recently Donald Trumpboasted about the fact that Elon
(26:56):
Musk is now paying $2,000 anight for a cottage on the Mar A
Lago estate.
That.
That.
Gosh, that's like two centsevery day for six hundred dollar
billionaire feature.
Six hundred billion dollar.
Yeah.
Elon Musk now lives at Mar A Lago.
And there was at one point.
(27:17):
Weird.
It.
Doesn't it feel weird?
Like Elon Musk could live anywhere.
Why would you live.
First of all, why look at amap of where Mar a Lago is in relation
to the.
It's like West Palm beacharea, right?
It's West Palm beach, but it'salso, it's.
It's directly on the.
The eastern takeoff from theairport, the international airport.
(27:41):
So literally, you're at Mar A Lago.
You've got jets taking off allthe time.
This is, this is, you know, itmight be a quick A to B to the new
island.
Musk Island.
Yeah.
Epstein's old island.
Musk.
Musk.
Muskines Island.
Must.
Yeah, it's.
And.
And then all of the infightingbetween the traditional magazines
(28:05):
versus the tech boybillionaire magazine has been popcorn
worthy.
I mean, it is.
Ultimately, I'm here for it.
I'm enjoying it.
Jack Daugherty got out ofthere just in time.
He's like, Twitter's a fire.
I am weird.
I don't want people to knowI'm weird.
I'm gonna go be weird on amountain in Tibet.
(28:26):
Whatever, Whatever.
Jack.
Daughter.
He does or whatever.
You know what I'm talkingabout, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Beard.
Yeah, no, I know.
He's now created Blue sky,which is basically the.
Oh, he's behind Blue Sky.
Yeah, yeah, he's.
Yeah, that's why we had 300characters to blue Sky.
(28:49):
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
He's like, I liked it whenpeople can kind of shut the fuck
up at you.
Yeah.
Keep it.
Keep it.
Yeah.
We don't need you.
We don't need you expressingyourself completely.
Yeah.
This, the 300 200.
Whatever characters it givesyou, it gives you the ability to
kind of control it.
Yeah, we want to know whatyou're thinking, but, like, not that
deep, right?
(29:10):
Speaking of, the All AboutNothing podcast is on Blue sky as
well.
I'll, I'll add it to the shownotes, but we're on.
I didn't get Blue sky while Iwas out on the crab boat for the
last two weeks.
Yeah, you do look like you'vebeen fishing a lot recently.
Let me tell you.
There's some crabs.
They're feisty, especiallywhen your captain is hammered and
(29:33):
the boats are rocking that up, boys.
I want my pots all counted for.
Deadliest Catch is coming backfor, like, its 18 or 19th season,
and every.
Time, not as my show getspicked up.
It's called Deadliest Fetch,and it's which dog can bring you
back a landmine?
(29:59):
I'm both disappointed andexcited at the same time.
Sometimes we mess with themand do those stick grenades from
World War II so it looks likea stick.
They never make it back.
I'm a season one spoiler alert.
If they do, then you lose.
I've never laughed harder thanseeing a man run from a dog with
(30:20):
a grenade in its mouth.
Yeah, Yeah, I, I, I wouldimagine that that's pretty, that's,
that's pretty entertaining.
Yeah, I had to do it.
Deadliest Fetch coming to you,Discovery Channel.
Well, every time.
Every time.
And we'll, we'll start wrapthis up.
This is gonna be a shortepisode because we just want to put
something out there.
But I, I, I, I look forward toDeadliest Catch coming back.
But every time I watchDeadliest Catch, I'm like, I could
(30:42):
do that.
I could be a deckhand onDeadliest Catch.
I wouldn't whine about howcold it is or how wet I am or.
Yeah, just filming a job that blows.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Marine construction.
That job blew.
Yeah.
I'd rather be pulling crabpots, like, the only.
The only.
And I'm not scared of sharksand Icelandic temperature water.
(31:04):
But drowning wouldn't be fun.
That's the scary part.
That kind of shit is terrifying.
I don't want a ship to go over.
Yeah, but the crab pottingpart of it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Like, they had a guy jump in,like, with no shirt on to, like,
hook a pot back up.
And the captain's like,literally, that's like one of the
deadliest things to do.
(31:26):
Like, don't do that.
And they pulled him back in.
You know, he lived.
Go in there and get beside the stove.
Sig Sig knocked his son in lawinto the, into the ocean this past
season.
Like Sig on the Northwesterndropped his son into the water and
it's like, you know, he gotout, he was fine.
It's an easier way to make aquick, like 40K.
(31:47):
He's, he's completelyshriveled from the waist down.
From now on, nothing works.
But, you know, who needs more grandkids?
As Larry the cable guy said,he now pooped his wiener.
I'm just kidding, Sig.
If you watch this show, I'dreally like for you to be on.
Just put a cigarette out.
And he's like, motherfucker,in a week we're going to both be
(32:07):
on a crab boat just being toldwhat to do.
That's right.
This is the new economy.
What happened?
Barrett and Zach, we love the podcast.
Fortunately, the only job wecould get when Trump took over was
this, because we don't do Cand Java.
Yeah, well, I do, but Barrett wouldn't.
(32:28):
Teach me C and Java.
And then he got real lippyabout it.
He kept boasting, I punched him.
Now his brain don't work.
Here we are picking up crab pots.
You know what?
Harder than we both thought.
Yeah, probably.
So I say I can do it.
I probably can't.
No, no.
I think the last thing, lastthing I was going to talk about because
(32:53):
South Carolina and GeorgiaTech both lost their bowl games.
What the fuck was that?
Georgia Tech lost because abetter team won.
South Carolina lost because.
Why did we lose?
Well, calling in substitutionslike they did, highly illegal.
And referees deciding not tocall that.
So help me out with thatbecause I saw a bunch of things saying
(33:17):
that what Illinois did waslegal, but it's not something that
most teams do because it's not really.
It's not part of the gameplay.
It's not part of chess.
Like, you're not supposed todo it technically.
I think if they didn't havetheir man and in time and it's a.
Clocks down to five seconds.
Yeah.
Hike the ball.
(33:37):
Then they have too many men onthe field, like, and they're done
for.
Right.
But you can't hike the ball ifthe ref is standing on it.
Right.
So how, how does that work with.
I mean, and maybe this is,maybe we're going to have to have
Zach.
On, but I know he's pissedabout it.
Oh, I saw, I saw his posts.
Plus plus, at the end of theday, you had, you had guys in the
(34:01):
second half of the game stop,like, literally quit.
Like, like, I'm I'm onlyplaying the first half.
You're like, okay.
But then I think that SouthCarolina thought they should win
this.
The whole weeks after thecalypso game of just the hyping up
of South Carolina.
Yeah, it got to him and theywere like, we should dog walk them
(34:21):
easily.
If you, if you played likeyou, you could lose the game.
You would have, right?
It was 17 to 21.
If you could have doneanything else, like, you, you could
have.
And I think there were dudesout there like Demetrius Knight that
were playing like lights out,trying to do it.
Not getting the offenserolling blew my mind.
I mean, dude, give Illinois credit.
(34:42):
They're not a dog shit team.
They were there for a reason, too.
Yeah.
Rocket Sanders, though, is, ishe looking just, Is it the NFL draft?
He's looking, he's looking tohit the combine.
Yeah.
He didn't play at all.
Yeah.
No.
And when he announced that he wasn't.
Playing, both of themannounced like a week or two before.
A week or two.
Okay.
So we knew.
Okay.
Yeah.
(35:02):
Another one was, the other onewas Kyle Kennard, who you're familiar
with, but he, he was thenumber one defensive player in the
country.
Yeah.
This year.
I don't blame him.
No.
And at the end of the day, Ididn't get torn up about it.
It's a bowl game that doesn'tcount for anything.
Like, it would have been niceto get that 10 win, but it's the
(35:24):
same mentality those players took.
It's just a bowl game.
But that's not the narrativewe were fed the entire couple weeks.
Month.
Right.
We wouldn't win that.
10 wins all.
None of us are opting out.
Well, half your asses areopting out at halftime.
Like, I saw a lot of quit andthat's not what you normally.
No.
And I think again, it boilsdown to.
(35:44):
This was a out of season bowl game.
There's a lot of players.
The bowl game.
The outcome of a bowl game hasan effect on nothing.
And the likelihood of a playergetting hurt at that level on an
extra, you know, on the 13thgame of the season is, is high.
(36:07):
I mean, you know, you have,there's, there's so much that could
potentially happen that you,you, I, I don't blame them.
If you're, if your future isplaying on Sundays and, and, and
that's your future next year.
I, I don't blame him at all.
I'll say somebody from yourbowl game that I love and I hope
(36:28):
that he gets everything, getshis flowers, Haynes, King fantastic
dude has a motor and never quits.
His jersey is dirty.
Every time like that dude isout there to make plays happen.
If, if he can, if he can getsome receivers, you couple, you couple
his passing accuracy and get.
(36:48):
And make that better next year.
But you couple that withgetting some receivers that he can
hit.
Taller, bigger receivers atGeorgia Tech.
Yeah, let's get a Megatron out there.
I think, I think you have, youhave the potential of a Lenora Sellers
Haynes King.
I'm just gonna say it.
(37:08):
Heisman.
Heisman watch.
I think solely because ofHaynes King and the culture that,
that Georgia Tech is building,you're not going to see us come and
take your players.
No, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, but I think that, I thinkthat's going to start stopping and
that's.
Any of your key players fromthis year, I think they should return
and I think they have a reasonto return.
(37:29):
But then you have thosecommits, maybe some transfers.
I don't know what Georgia Techis doing in the transfer portal right
now, but I would love to goplay for a quarterback like Haynes
King.
Dude, I'd be like, dude'sgonna go out there and throw it to
me.
I can make a differencebecause he's, he's literally missing
a big time player.
Like you're saying big time receiver.
Lenora Sellers and, and HaynesKing will be playing on Sundays and
(37:52):
I'm here for it.
Yeah, I think it's going to be fantastic.
I think that Ladoris kind of needs.
What Haynes King needs is sometop tier receivers.
Yeah, Yeah, I think, I thinkthat's exactly it.
Well, we got another ninemonths before, before the season
kicks off, so hopefully thatthe portal is going to get utilized.
We're going to see somerecruits come in and you know, that's
(38:14):
that, that, that's what I'll enjoy.
And I will after, afterwatching South Carolina this year,
I'm back on the bandwagon.
I will, I will pull for SouthCarolina every game as long as they're
not playing.
Georgia Tech, which isn'tscheduled for another, is not on
this.
We might find you in baseballat some point.
Oh, yeah.
That's entirely possible.
That's not possible.
(38:34):
I'm excited about that.
Paul Monary.
Yeah, the boys love him.
He's fun.
I think all the videos I'veseen, Pulmonary looks like a fun
guy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Here for it.
Even LSU fans are like, wecannot hate South Carolina.
Pulmonary, such a good guy.
I'm also excited for the 2025Columbia Fireflies season.
Yeah, I think I think that's baseball.
Is on its way back.
(38:54):
Barrett.
We've got March.
Yeah, I'm excited for it.
I think.
I'm hoping, I'm hoping here inthe next few weeks we might have
some big announcements to makefor, for the Columbia Fireflies too.
So.
Thing that sucks for me is Icatch at least, I try to catch at
least five or six games eachyear for college, not doing it with
twins.
There's no getaway point like,can I just go, can I catch a game?
(39:17):
A nooner.
All right, that's go.
That's gonna, that's gonnawrap it up for episode number 236.
