When you or anyone at t CEO is in a

peeking over the stall and watching you go to the bathroom.

He was hanging out with Woody Harrelson at City's ninety
seven and they didn't have shirts on it.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
He was all cut. And that's a weird sentence, but
it's a true story.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
I swear to guy like all cut, like muscular, like
muscular yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (07:29):
Yeah, yeah, because I think that it must it must
have been the same trip where those two guys went
and played basketball at one of the frats at the U.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, exactly, that's right.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
Yeah, because either Woody or Steve or both was connected
to that frat.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
So they went and hooped it up at the U
with a bunch of college kids. That's got to be
a trip.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
Can you imagine what he heralds and the guy from
three Minute and a Baby?

Speaker 3 (07:51):
What do you don't stop trying to get pot from me?

Speaker 5 (07:53):

Speaker 10 (09:29):
You were wearing your hairy carry glasses. I wasn't sure

Speaker 4 (09:33):

but fantastic seeing everybody appreciate all bank as always yep.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
And we'll get to the the the give the Donation
partner momentarily and talk about who we're gonna help charity
wise this but Ben football, Let's talk Tom in football.

Speaker 6 (10:03):
Hey, Tom, can I ask you a question that we
were just talking about off here, and it's maybe the
least important one we're going to talk about in the
next fifteen minutes or so.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
Can you walk us through the Dan Orlovski story?

Speaker 6 (10:13):
Because the NFL apparently told him to stop posting video
breakdowns on social media. That's something that a lot of
people on social media really really like. He's really really
good at it. People seem to love him in football.
Why are they kind of throwing the hammer down specifically
on Orlovsky? What's the deal?

Speaker 10 (10:32):
Well, it's not specific today, and there are a lot
of rules about what you can post and reposting any clips.
There's copyrights. You've seen other aggregators of what I'm having
to take stuff down. My understanding that I have not
dug a great deal into this because I do not
do film breakdowns, because no one would want to watch that.

(10:52):
But Meyers standing is you can do it. ESPN's a
league partner. There might have been specific clips or something
that some type of a response, but again I don't
know all the insounts of it, but I would not
be surprised if you see some of those things back online.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
SOO yeah, I find that so hard to believe.

Speaker 11 (11:09):
I mean, he all he does is promote the league
in such a positive way. I mean, he's the most
fair and smartest analyst. I think that's out there, So
what a shame. Hopefully he comes back with that.

Speaker 10 (11:22):
We got Brian Baldinger too, who does bald these breakdowns
and those have not been disrupted in any way. Again,
there may have been a game of telephone. I don't
know all the details, but I don't believe that there
was a band, certainly not on dan Orlovsky himself. Now
you know again there are all these accounts that will
just take you know, clips, basically steal it or it's

(11:42):
people you know shooting it on their phone and you
get these you know, the glare on the screen and
all those things. That's not anything new. The NFL has
got a pun of rules in place, just like I mean,
you can't technically post you know, long press conference clips.
I think it's like maximum sixty seconds. They can only
be up for twenty four hours. That's just standard rights
if it's not necessarily always in force. But certainly if

(12:04):
you have anybody who's posting tons of stuff that doesn't
work for a league partner and it's running over the
ground of what they sell for NFL plus and whatnot,
then the league, like any league, is going to take
action on it.

Speaker 11 (12:14):
All right, let's talk about the Vikes. I was asked
a question the other day. It's a pretty broad general question.
It was just basically, what is the state of the
Vikings as we go into this bye week? And I
just kind of looked at a singular word, and I
just think optimism. For there's optimism around this team just

(12:35):
because of what they've had to battle through with injuries
and then the hope that will get a lot of
these guys back after the buye. If I oppose the
same question to you, what do you think the state
of the Vikings is right now going to the buy Well, they're.

Speaker 10 (12:49):
In flux, but if you look at the volume of injuries,
they've had to be three and two and have the
opportunity to get a bunch of guys back and for
a really tough stretch on their schedule. I have to
say that that's, you know, not a bad position to
be in. I mean, think about some of the other
teams that have been gutted by injuries early on. I mean,
Miami lost, you know, it's kind of like similar to

(13:10):
the Vikings where they lost the chunk of their offensive line.
In their case, they lost you know, their star wide
receiver for a long period of time, and they've had
some other bumps along the way. They're one and four
and they're trying to scrape their way back into this thing.
You know, teams like the forty nine Ers that are
four and one, the Vikings there are three and two.
You're sitting there going, okay, like we've kind of we've
gotten through some of the roughest stretches. And the best

(13:32):
news for the Vikings is most of these guys are
going to get back. The forty nine Ers are not
getting nick Osa back. They're not gonna have Brandon Ayuk
until probably mid November somewhere in there. A lot of
these Vikings injuries were shorter term types of things, and
so if you're being an optimist. You're going to say,
you know, all right, Ryan Kelly's not coming back anytime soon.
We know that he's out at least four games or

(13:53):
three more games. That one's going to take a while.
But you know, the you know, the rookie guards should
be back as soon as this week. Arisa should be
you know, maybe close to, if not all the way
to one hundred percent of the STAPs that he can take.
Brian O'Neil shouldn't be too far behind thereon Jones shouldn't
be too far behind. The biggest questions surrounding the Vikings
is just how they're going to proceed at the quarterback position.

(14:15):
And you know, I've seen a lot of the stuff
that's been said and you know, rumored and speculator. This
is not a soft benji. Okay, with JJ McCarthy, he
has a legit high handkle sprain. You don't put a
guy in a walking boot for a week as like
part of some broad ruse to secretly bench it. However,
JJ McCarthy did not have any reps last year. Okay,

(14:37):
from the first preseason game on tears his beniscus. He's
out for the whole year, misses all those reps. This season,
he has not practiced on consecutive days since before Week one.
So what you don't want to do is set there
go yep, JJ's back. He's fully healthy. Now we're just
rolling him out there. They want to see how he
looks through the course of this week doing some individual stuff.
They want to see. I understanding the intention is for

(14:58):
going to be a full participant in practice next week.
You would think that they would be giving him the
first team reps if they feel like he's in a
position for that, But they also want to be conscientious
of Hey, if it just looks like the rhythm and
timing and dempo that NFL offenses function on, if that's
not back for him, you know, regardless of the ankle,
which should be pretty close to one hundred percent at

(15:18):
this point, if he just doesn't look like he's you know,
in the rhythm of it again, then it would make
sense to hold him back, particularly when you're about to
go up against one of the best teams, certainly one
of the best defenses in the NFL in Philadelphia here.
So you know, I would exercise patience on this. You know,
there's a reason it's not Kevin O'Connell being you know,
vague about the quarterback situation because he might decide to
roll with Carson Wentz the rest of the way. That's

(15:40):
not the mentality from everything I've been told. It's just about,
you know, Didjy hasn't had a lot of practice time.
Let's make sure that not just is he ready to play,
but that he's in a groove and ready to play.

Speaker 7 (15:50):
Well, Hey, Tom, what do you think the long term
and short term answer is with Jordan Addison for the Vikings?

Speaker 10 (15:59):
Well, you know, yeah, you had a situation obviously that
arose on the international trip and he dropped off the
map for a bit and didn't show up to a
walk through. They disciplined him by holding him out for
the first quarter. But then you saw down the stretch
of that game how effective Jordan Addison can be. It's
not the first time, obviously that he's run into issues.

(16:19):
He had three game suspension at the start of this year.
He's had, you know, various things pop up through the
course of his young career. At some point, there's a
maturity aspect to it where he's going to need to,
you know, get himself in a position where they really
feel like they can trust him, you know. If not,
you know, again, this is looking way down the road,
but you're gonna have decisions to make in terms of

(16:40):
signing him to a second contract. Do you potentially trade him,
do you let him walk for a compensatory pick. But
those are not conversations that they're thinking about a whole
lot right now. This is all about making sure Jordan
Adison has all the tools at his disposal and the
resources to go out there, continue to play well and
do the things that he needs to Here. You know,
you're paying Justin Jefferson at the top of the market
right now, or you know what was the top of

(17:02):
the market at the time. Who knows on the next
contract or how soon the next contract for Justin Jefferson
might come, what that number is going to be. There
are some teams that have two highly paid receivers. Obviously
Cincinnati does. It sounds like Dallas at least it would
entertain the idea of paying George Pickens, although that may
well include knowing how knowing how the Cowboys operate a
franchise tag in the interim here. But you know, if

(17:23):
you're talking about where the wide receiver market is, and
how good of a player Jordan Andison is. There's no
reason to think. But Calvin Ridley was suspended an entire
year and went out there and got paid in free agency.
There's no reason to think Jordan Aison can't be a
thirty to thirty five by that time, forty million dollars
a year player in free agency. Here, the Vikings have
more information on him than anybody else, and they'll be

(17:44):
able to make their decisions. Really that you know, start coming,
you know, in the not too distant future here as
he becomes eligible for an extension.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Was that sausage ever? Hand up?

Speaker 2 (17:55):
No?

Speaker 5 (17:55):
I don't think who's in trouble after what are we through?
Week five?

Speaker 8 (17:59):
Now?

Speaker 5 (17:59):
Give me some coaches that really need to start winning quickly.

Speaker 10 (18:03):
Well, I don't know that. You know, there's anybody who's
like the imminent. You know they're going to get fired
if they don't win this week. Certainly Tennessee. You know
they got a big win in the wildest fashion possible
last week in Arizona. Sometimes you need a little bit
of luck on your side. You don't normally get that
much luck with a running back dropping a ball at
a one yard line that would have been a twenty

(18:23):
eight to three game. It would have been a blowout
and ends up flipping around. Tennessee's offense gets going. Cam
Woard look phenomenal down the stretch, and then they still
have the interception fumble situation. But Tennessee clearly, you know,
I don't think it's any secret. They need to continue
to show progress with the quarterback, with the coaching staff,
and we'll see how that goes. You know, you've got

(18:44):
us I'm looking at my board here, You've got you know,
the Giants obviously, through the course of the season, they're
going to need to continue to take strides forward. They
got a young quarterback that they like in Jackson Dart.
But it's no secret that you know, they've got to
win some games through the course of the season. Miami
is obviously another one. Like I said there, they've dealt
with a lot of challenges. Mike McDaniel is one of

(19:04):
the hardest jobs in the NFL, where every week he
has to scheme up in offense for a quarterback who
literally can't get hit because if he does get hit,
something really bad might happen. That's a challenge, and then
he doesn't have his wide receiver and short handed offensive
line and all the other challenges that I've mentioned. They
haven't stopped the run. They got to get better on defense,
but that's another team certainly that's got to win. And

(19:24):
then there's some you know, other situations. I mean, the
way that I always look at is any coach who's
in at least his third year and has not been
to the playoffs, or any coach who has not been
to the playoffs for multiple years, you start to talk about,
you know, whether or not they potentially could be in trouble.
I think the world of Kevin Stefanski. He's a two
time NFL Coach.

Speaker 8 (19:43):
Of the Year.

Speaker 10 (19:44):
He's got his hands full with all the moving parts
they have, especially at quarterback in Cleveland. Here, I think
it's fair to say that you would like to see progress.
You're hoping Dylan Gabriel can be the guy. At some point.
You're gonna get a look at Shador Sanders too. They
got two first round picks next year. You know, that's
a team that has take strides forward. Arizona, same thing
Jonathan Gannon ended up amidst that crumbling in a unusual situation.

(20:06):
Let's put it that way. Where there was a contact
with the player that was deemed inappropriate and the club
find him one hundred grand. You know, he's in year three.
They got a really young coaching staff. This was always
going to be a multi year build. But they're at
the point where you've got to learn how to win games.
They've lost three three consecutive games on a last second
walk off field goal, the first team I believe in
NFL history that's ever happened to. At some point, you've

(20:28):
got to translate those into wins. And again, I think
that if they take strides forward here and they're a
nine to ten win team and they're in the playoffs,
right on the vergement, I think that he gets another year.
But you know, those are kind of the coaches that
are in that category. I know there's been speculation about
like John Harbaugh. He just got an extension in the offseason.
They're one and four, But there's no team that's gutted,
especially on defense like they are, and they're rolling with

(20:50):
a backup quarterback right now. Now. This is a big
game for them this week, there is no doubt about it.
Because you lose that game. Lamar is still not practicing.
They lose their one in five, they're going to the
buy and they're gonna get healthy. But at one in five,
you're talking about basically needing to run the table, win nine,
ten eleven games through the rest of the course of
the season, you're gonna miss the playoffs. I mean, just

(21:12):
ask the Bengals last year. You can be as hot
as you want in December and January, but if you
lost a bunch of games in September and October, it's
hard to come back from.

Speaker 11 (21:20):
You know, Tom, I want to ask you, obviously courtesy
of Bell Bank, so appreciate Bell Bank for having you
on with us. Let's go back to the the Vikings
game in London. There was a big controversy. I just
want to know what your thoughts are. I know the
NFL came out already and they had a statement, but
the field goal that Riiker kicked thanks to my guy

(21:42):
to my left, Zach Halverson, his little tweet went super viral.

Speaker 5 (21:47):
It's how I it's how I saw I saw it.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah, it's how I saw it.

Speaker 8 (21:51):
You know.

Speaker 11 (21:51):
I understand that there may not be conclusive evidence that
the ball hit the wire, and they've already said that
like it's a dead issue that we're done with this topic,
but like it's at least a topic of conversation. You know,
where are we with things.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Of that nature?

Speaker 11 (22:08):
Sort of like why was it even in the field
of play like that those wires shouldn't even be in
that situation where they're on the play side of the ball,
as the NFL said, anything other than just like nope,
nothing to see here and we move on. Or is
there going to be like some rule changes or something
that goes along with all of this.

Speaker 10 (22:28):
Well, first of all, it's not the only time that
happened last week. There was also a play in I
believe the Rams game where a ball got tipped at
the line went up there but that went back. Yeah,
but still it's two times where based upon the rules,
that's supposed to be a dead ball and replay the down.
So my questions would be, and I'm sure what the
NFL is looking into, just setting aside your initial question, Benny,

(22:51):
is all right, how is instant replay handling these things?
What can you see? I know that it was essentially
they couldn't see that the ball actually hit the wire.
We can look at Zach's tweet and go, well, there's
a wire and the ball takes a hard right turn,
looks like it hit the wire. You know how they
enforce those things. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is a you know,
they play there every year, but it's still an uncommon

(23:12):
stadium where there might be different operational things versus a
stadium where you know you've got extra cameras. You know,
spider cam is generally reserved for you know, the bigger crews.
I don't know that every game has one of those,
but you're playing it less often in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
than other places here, So I would imagine they're going
to look at some things in terms of do they
need to adjust exactly you know, where the camera is,
where the wires are. It's not an NFL stadium and

(23:35):
so you know, maybe things were just built and structured
differently than they would be To me, though, the biggest
issue is always, all right, things happen, Things happen that
you weren't anticipating, But how do you try to fix
them in real time? Because if that stuff impacts games,
if the Vikings end up losing that game, Zach's tweet
is a way bigger deal than it is now where

(23:56):
it's well, they still won the game. You have to
figure out how to fix it. I think that that
goes across all of officiating, That goes across the quick
reviews that they do from the booth, replay assist. It
goes from what you know is in terms of challenges
and things like that, you'd like to get those calls right.
In two occasions last week, well one definitely, probably two,

(24:17):
based upon what I saw with my own eyes, they
missed the opportunity to try to correct that. The officials
on the field didn't see it, and the whatever you
know infrastructure there is in New York or upstairs, none
of those people saw it either. That's problematic and those
are things that I would anticipate our address here as
we move forward.

Speaker 7 (24:33):
Hey, quick question, Tom, do you think Belichick is one
and done in UNC?

Speaker 10 (24:40):
It certainly is possible, Sauce. But if you had asked
me last summer or back in January, could Bill Belichi
if you wanted done in the USC? I would have
said yeah. It never on the surface made sense. And
granted we saw the statements last night from Belichick and
from the athletic director saying I'm fully committed, were fully
in support of him, but realistically, when you were having

(25:03):
Bill Belichick come in and try to establish PERV. Even
Bill taking over an NFL team would be a challenge
in the current environment because of just the mentality of
players at this age as they come into the NFL,
because Bill Bill is not a Hey, let's take a
good team and we'll just add a little bit to it. No,
it's strip it down and bring it to all right,
let's get the right people. Let's establish the culture. You're

(25:25):
probably going to go down before you go up. They
were pretty competent for a basketball school. They were competent
for a long time, you know, in terms of having
Mac Brown there, and they won a lot of games,
and they had good players come through there.

Speaker 11 (25:39):
You know.

Speaker 10 (25:39):
Last week you're just you're watching and Bill said the
same stuff after games, which, hey, we just got to
be fundamentally better. I got to coach better, we got
to play better. It's the same old Bill Ois. But
that's not college football.

Speaker 6 (25:49):
Now.

Speaker 10 (25:49):
College football is wide open transfer portals and nil and
rev share, and you had the opportunity. I mean, they
brought in seventy new players, but they also let some
of their best players walk out the door. One of
them left after spring ball. They weren't willing to pay,
you know, the money that Ohio State would pay for players.
I've heard stories where they weren't willing to pay what's
certain staff members they wanted to have were willing to get.

(26:12):
I mean, that's that's the nature of it. Bill is
still a really good coach, and I think that it's
instructive when you read, you know, some of those stories
and I'm not, you know, familiar with some of the
people who reported them, but to me just reading them
as somebody who understands the industry, I'd say that they
appear to be pretty well sourced stuff. Everything you see
on Bill himself is, Hey, the one on one coaching
is good. He is pleasant to people around the building.

(26:35):
It's everybody else. It's the entire structure of the thing,
and it's Michael Lombardi, and it's the coaching staff that's there,
and it's how they've you know, the identification and retention
of players. All those things just appear to be beyond him.
So you know, the real question would become, I don't
see UNC paying a twenty million dollar buyout to get

(26:56):
rid of Bill Belichick. That doesn't make a lot of sense.
I think the real question here would be this Bill
just say, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you back to
one million dollars. I'm going to try to either go
to the NFL or I'm gonna go into the media.
Bill's an NFL coach, E can coach football. That that
part is not in doubt. I don't. I don't indict
Bill Belichick like some other people might based on the

(27:16):
results in North Carolina as a coach. But Bill Belichick
is a college program builder surrounded by a bunch of
people who also have never built a college program. It
didn't make sense in December, It didn't make sense this
summer when you started to read some of the things.
It still doesn't make sense. Now you're seeing the results
on the field, and we'll find out for whoever long
he has left if they can show some kind of

(27:38):
signs of progress.

Speaker 6 (27:39):
Here, all right, show a little more skin next week
when you join. Drop a button or two please.

Speaker 5 (27:43):
If you wouldn't mind.

Speaker 10 (27:44):
I'm always a two button. I'm always a two button guy.
That's at button, the most important button.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
Twos en off, Zach says, Zacha's twos off. Thanks Tom,
appreciate it. Buddy, see you next week.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
It's great, Tom Pelser, thanks to the great Bell Bank.
And you can go on on campan dot com right
now and nominated charity to pay it forward thanks to
Bell Bank. And that by the way, if you guys remember,
and I know you do, is how we met Bellbank.
We happened to have an employee instudious on Michael the
other day who was in here when one of our
listeners I was talking about needing some help getting a
handicap accessible van, and that is how he got his van.

(28:17):
And that's how we started our relationship with Bell Bank.
I'll never forget that talk about being a good way
to meet a good partner. So right now you can
go on campan dot com and put in the keyword
bell and it'll bring up all the information for you
to nominated charity. And guess what, that's exactly what Greg
Hawkins did. He nominated Hope Kids. That's Hope Kids dot
org slash Minnesota. Hope Kids provides ongoing events, activities, and

(28:40):
a powerful, unique support community for families who have a
child with cancer or another life threatening medical condition. Thank you,
Greg Hawkins, and thank you for all the people at
home kids dot org, slash Minnesota and all you do
and thank you Bell Bank.

Speaker 6 (28:53):
Now it's time for headline prot by my friends at
Wolf River Electric and wolf Riverelectric dot com.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
It's not too late in twenty twenty.

Speaker 6 (29:01):
Five to get those solar panels put on retouch with
the great people at wolf Riverelectric dot com.

Speaker 5 (29:07):
Yeah, hell yeah, man, oh yeah man?

Speaker 6 (29:10):
What oh Saucy Ready to be shocked and surprised at
every single headline that I read? What an inmate escaped
but was arrested on Monday after leaving Paul hang on
wait till I finished brilliant After he left the work

(29:31):
site and then later was found naked in Southwest Georgia.

Speaker 5 (29:34):
What so? What I mean?

Speaker 6 (29:40):
I think he thought, probably I got to ditch this
outfits close, But I think he didn't think. But I
will get noticed if I'm nude?

Speaker 5 (29:48):
Yeah right?

Speaker 6 (29:49):
Step one good, get rid of the clothes, change and outfits.
But you can't get rid of the first outfit until
you find the second one. He was found naked in
Southwest Georgia.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
The underpants partisan important. Forget about that step point.

Speaker 6 (30:02):
Here's a terrifying stat Approximately, how many high schoolers give me.
A percentage say that they or someone they know has
had a quote romantic relationship with artificial intelligence.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Man, I hope it's single digits.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
I'm gonna go, who get surveyed again, high schoolers, whether
it's they or someone they know has had a quote
romantic relationship with artificial intelligence?

Speaker 3 (30:35):
Please right, here's here's my reasoning.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
It's gonna be in the twenty five range, because, whether
it's actually happening or not, somebody's making a rumor about
Johnny who's getting it on with an AI character and
in love. So I would say they think it's more
than it is. I'm gonna say twenty five percent.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yeah, twenty eight cheater that you win.

Speaker 5 (30:57):
Price is right.

Speaker 6 (31:00):
The other way around twenty percent, about twenty percent.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
One in five.

Speaker 6 (31:06):
Forty two percent of those same students say they at
least know someone who has used it for companionship, not
necessarily romantic relationships, but they need a friend.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Sure, and they use it for other things too.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
I bet you know, man, from what the advertisements I
keep getting shown on Facebook say. On Facebook, Yeah it's weird, man.
I get an ad saying, hey, you want to watch
some pornios.

Speaker 5 (31:29):
So just see Grandma's quick status. What should add for
you're just looking at all?

Speaker 7 (31:44):
And then just pornio as I'm the only one for real,
I don't go on Facebook.

Speaker 5 (31:49):
Oh I've never been honest.

Speaker 7 (31:53):
Wait, you really go on Facebook and you get told
about pornios? Sure?

Speaker 5 (31:58):
Hey, they know? Doesn't of course it works.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
It depends on what the menu is.

Speaker 5 (32:05):
Yeah, what mood you're in?

Speaker 6 (32:06):
Hey, Zach, Yeah, I need you to answer this first
question simply yes or no. You can't even have you
can't even say. It's complicated or maybe I need a
yes or no? No, yes, yes or no? Boy ghosts
real yes or no. If you have to say one
of the two, which way you leaning yes or no?
You got to be right, I mean, if I have

(32:29):
to be right no. But it's more nuanced than that.
But you're going no, probably damn it. Okay, because check
this out. This is sad, but stay with me. A
sixty year old woman at Disneyland suffered a heart attack
and died.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
She was on the Haunted Mansion ride.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
I saw that. I mean, they do tell you in
the beginning.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
They got the scary guy says you can take his
way out of the ride if you want to leave.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
She did, she did? So oops.

Speaker 5 (33:02):
Do you believe she will haunt the haunted mansion ride?

Speaker 2 (33:06):
I mean that's the spirit, right, you know?

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Okay, all right, yeah, that's the spirit.

Speaker 6 (33:14):
All right, buckle up unless you read this. This is unguessable.
Oh my god, is it kind of a fifty one
year old guy? Obviously, this is a guy. Fifty one
year old guy in Florida.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Oh got.

Speaker 6 (33:32):
He got arrested when the cops booked him the other day. Actually,
let me back it up. They had gotten a call
about a naked man in a public bathroom. He was
fully clothed by the time they got there, so they
let him go. But then he was trespassing on a
set of train tracks right in front of them, and

(33:54):
he threatened to kill a cop. So they're like, all
right now, now you're under her that So he almost
got away being naked in a public bathroom, but he
went the wrong way with some other stuff.

Speaker 5 (34:03):
Because it's Florida, so check this out, they book him.
And when they booked him.

Speaker 6 (34:10):
The the sheriff claims they found the quote largest item
they've ever seen in his quote exit ramp. Oh take
a shot.

Speaker 5 (34:24):
What this guy had up there.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
Oh lord, Oh, is the bathroom of hints at all?

Speaker 6 (34:33):
No, it's not like a plunger. Oh boy, this is
a hint. I don't think it helps, but this is
a hint. I cannot believe this fits.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
Corey. I can't answer because I read this this morning
and I've spent the morning trying to figure it out.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (34:50):
I don't understand this. It's not how does this fit?
I don't know basketball. I mean that's I mean, that's
just too.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Big a video game controller.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
I would argue bigger than that, right, Yeah.

Speaker 10 (35:05):
Than that.

Speaker 5 (35:05):
Baseball.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
I was just gonna say Catcher's mint.

Speaker 6 (35:08):
No, it's a base This is the only hint that
I can give before we just give it away. This
things cylindrical, a baseball bat, tennis ball canister.

Speaker 5 (35:18):
No, but that's criminals.

Speaker 8 (35:20):
No.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
I just can't believe this, right, Yeah, you gotta just
tell Hi, because I got to play the audio of
the cop.

Speaker 6 (35:29):
A full sized, as this story says, a full sized thermis.

Speaker 12 (35:36):
So we put everybody through a body scanner to make
sure that they're not trying to bring guns and knives
and drugs into the jail. Well, you might have thought
Walter was bringing drugs into the jail. He brought a
thermost into the jail. He put it up the exit ramp.
He said, well, I put that inside my body twenty

(35:57):
four hours earlier, the deputy saved this lot.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
I mean, whatever was in that thermos must have been
like very very warm.

Speaker 5 (36:05):
Yeah, the coffee still warm, well insulated. Good super Who
wants soup? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Oh man, some SuperM a thermos right now, right out
of the chat I got for.

Speaker 5 (36:16):
Twenty four hours, like a coke freestyle machine.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
You're leaking tomato soup.

Speaker 5 (36:20):
Oh, just push the button in fill it up except
beer cheese. Yeah, not beer cheese, full sized thermos.

Speaker 8 (36:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (36:30):
I thought about it, and I can't imagine it. I mean,
I can't imagine how greasy that thing would have to
or yeah, or how floppy that Yeah, I know what
you're saying.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
I know my body is amazing.

Speaker 6 (36:43):
But to that, to that guy's point, if twenty four hours,
he was like, look, this guy was in trouble him.
What's the maximum number of hours before you can't survive that.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
I'm sure the numbers hours, I think it must be.
I didn't I would win.

Speaker 5 (36:56):
Twenty four hours.

Speaker 6 (36:57):
Yeah, that's a taken takeing time.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
Bahmb up.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
There he's a walking storage.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
So we obviously didn't do that deed for twenty four hours?

Speaker 5 (37:10):
Or did he? Or did he right into the third?
Maybe it was like a filter. Yeah maybe maybe maybe
maybe it wasn't damned all the way.

Speaker 6 (37:19):
Here's another example of I don't think we have heard
this before, but if we have, I missed it because
I'm pumped about this. George Clooney says a new Oceans
movie will probably start filming next year.

Speaker 8 (37:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (37:29):
I saw that this morning. Yeah, that's sweet, that's awesome.
I like all three of those.

Speaker 6 (37:33):
Again, I watched all three points, like, that's a really
good point.

Speaker 5 (37:38):
Actually, what happened? I mean, out of the original eleven,
they're not all alive. Who's death? Bernie Mack is no
longer is Rob?

Speaker 3 (37:46):
Rob Rinder's gone as a car render he's gone.

Speaker 5 (37:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Uh the gentleman who? Uh? Elliott Gould? Who got the letters?
I believe did he pass? H?

Speaker 5 (37:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Yeah, that's right, he's gone. What's her faces stand from friends?

Speaker 5 (38:01):
Exactly?

Speaker 3 (38:01):
Yeah? Exactly? Thank you? Good good pulling.

Speaker 5 (38:03):
So we have what eight eight or so left? Yeah,
and we Ocean's eight oceans eight and.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Hawk loved it.

Speaker 5 (38:12):
Maybe maybe Scott Khan doesn't join him. We're down to sell.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
Maybe they put his sister into uh and make it
Oceans nine, because what's your face at busy?

Speaker 6 (38:21):
I mean, it's got to be fourteen. It's gotta be's
got to be fourteen. You got to build a team.
It's got to be fourteen.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
I know. If you guys, you are busy in.

Speaker 6 (38:29):
Put Terry Terry roller skating up and down the Vegas
ship helping distract everybody, that'd be outstanding.

Speaker 5 (38:36):
Uh, he might want a thermos.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (38:38):
Oh, Terry's character has probably done that for sure and
not known.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Yeah, but the tip I would be hanging out those shorts.

Speaker 5 (38:46):
For the For the record, we don't believe Nick has rs.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
If Nick's listening, all the problem is he's a character actor.
So that's very much enough.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
Daniel Lewis, he's got to try it before he does.

Speaker 5 (39:00):
Here's this yet, Nick nuts, that's a.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
