Things Commentators, Journalists & Fans Say That Drive Us Crazy

WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:06.400
You know pet peeves of fans that I have. So
2
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:09.640
we'll get to it all right, So where are you
3
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:10.240
going to start?
4
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:13.640
Go first, Let's let's talk about this topic for a
5
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:16.519
little because I love what are we going to talk
6
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:17.000
about today?
7
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:22.399
Pet peeves? Like sports pet peeves? So things that in
8
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:26.719
most of mine are like broadcasters what they say that
9
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:28.399
bother me annoy me?
10
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:30.559
And I know we each have a pet peep.
11
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:33.920
Hear them all the time, and I have a long list,
12
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:37.399
so we probably won't get half of them, but yeah,
13
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:39.880
there's so many things that just bug the crap out
14
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:41.359
of me. And you know, you watch a lot of sports,
15
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:43.079
and then so you hear a lot of stuff over
16
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.039
and over and over again, and a lot of stuff
17
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:48.719
just drives you bunkers. So this will be a good
18
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:51.479
like outlet for me to get this out of my
19
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:53.520
system because I always say it and then like everybody
20
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:55.439
that lives in my house is hear me?
21
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:58.719
Like did you know that Peyton Thorne and Jade and
22
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:00.320
played for the same.
23
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.879
I have on this that's on my notes.
24
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:08.280
The same reoccurring story that pops up over and over
25
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:10.400
and over a good like.
26
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.680
Clayton. I'm not sure if you know this, but Clayton
27
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.400
Kershaw and Matthew Stafford, I.
28
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.879
Didn't know if he knew this.
29
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:26.439
This is new information for everybody. So all right, I'm going
30
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.200
to start with like football now here's a big one.
31
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.280
And I when I was looking this up, a lot
32
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.359
of people on Reddit were saying the same thing, and
33
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.359
I was like, oh good, I'm not the only one.
34
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.359
And I've never heard anybody else talk about this. But
35
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:43.640
when the broadcasters say the receiver caught the ball at
36
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:47.799
its highest point, Okay, the highest point when you throw
37
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:52.560
a football is the apex of the throw, like halfway
38
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.239
in between the thrower and the receiver. No one's catching
39
00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.239
it sixty feet up in the air. It's the they're
40
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.439
catching it at their highest point. The player jumping's highest
41
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:06.159
point is what they're trying to say. But they say
42
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:07.599
it it's highest pot like the ball size.
43
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.639
No, no, not close.
44
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.560
And that got a bunch of reply. So that is
45
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.400
one of mine that is like, oh my god, dre's nuts.
46
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:17.520
No.
47
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.080
I don't hear it as much lately, but for a
48
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.240
long time that was like a huge thing that they
49
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:24.960
would always say. I'm like, what are you talking about?
50
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:29.000
Its highest point? How's nobody noticing this, or like when
51
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.879
the broadcasters say something dumb and the other one doesn't
52
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:31.800
like call them out on it.
53
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.439
See that be me, I'd be like, what do you
54
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:41.319
mean by that? Upon that, there's just so many vague
55
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:45.560
statements that the commentators and make, you know, like they
56
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:46.479
just wanted it more.
57
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:52.840
Yeah, right, yep. I was just watching something about that
58
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.400
where they're like, really they want it more. No, they don't.
59
00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:00.280
Everybody's trying their absolute hardest they possibly can. There he
60
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.879
was making millions of dollars. Well everything invested in this.
61
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.919
No one's yeah trying hard. I mean, I guess it
62
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:07.759
happens every once in a while, but the vast majority
63
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.439
of the time that doesn't happen. Okay, I got another one.
64
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:18.800
I'm let you go two. After a player hits a three,
65
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.039
like he shoots a three pointer like a big guy
66
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.080
usually you know, one of the cent or whatever, and
67
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.159
then the announcer was he can do that written.
68
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.919
Down and he can do that. It's hilarious.
69
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.400
We're in the same way like, well, no shit, he
70
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:33.919
just did it.
71
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:35.599
He just did it.
72
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.000
So that is oh my god.
73
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:41.879
Remember Marcus Bingham, Like of course Marcus Bingham could hit
74
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:44.199
threes in high school. I remember watching him. I've watched
75
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.439
all his video and film before he got to Michigan State,
76
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:48.439
and he was a three point shooter before he got
77
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:50.759
to Michigan State. But I think he shot like we
78
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:52.759
could probably look at his career stats. He probably shot
79
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:56.000
like fifteen percent from three all five years he was
80
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.400
at Michigan State. And every time you shoot a three
81
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.639
and make it, they would say, you know, he could
82
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:05.199
do that kind of but not really like he can
83
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.479
because he just did, but not at a high efficiency level.
84
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:10.840
Yeah, that's interesting. I didn't know that. We went to
85
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.800
a women's basketball game one time and he was like
86
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.639
behind the bench in Michigan State, behind the not bench,
87
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.720
behind the basketball hoop, and he was cheering going. But
88
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.959
he was such a great cheerleader for the women's basketball game.
89
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:26.600
That's what I remember the most about him and him
90
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:31.879
and A. J. Hogard, those two were really supporting the
91
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:33.279
the ladies out there. That was good.
92
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:34.040
That's awesome.
93
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:42.399
Off, that's cool. How about this this is a physical defense, because,
94
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.519
like you, my whole point with that is there has
95
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.480
to be like a counter argument or or like somebody
96
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:53.680
who isn't that thing like everybody's defense is physical. What
97
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.600
I would really want to hear Abradester say is, boy,
98
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:01.720
this defense is not physical at all. These guys are not. No,
99
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:06.079
that would be interesting, but saying that they're they're physical
100
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.759
or they need to be physical or something like everybody's physical.
101
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:13.439
Everyone's you know, there's you know, scheme can be a problem,
102
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.879
or you know, there's different things. You have injuries, but
103
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.920
everyone's like gonna physically play the football game.
104
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.000
It's not hard. And I guess what the biggest pet
105
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.160
peeve about it is, it's not hard to be original,
106
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.079
you know. I think about like Tom is if he's
107
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.319
if he's if he's berating a defensive player. He said
108
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:30.879
this about Tredy for it at the beginning of the season.
109
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.199
He's like, I need tray Ford to guard one of
110
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.600
the people out on this court and it can't. And
111
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:37.639
one of those people is not my ninety for your
112
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:41.759
five year old grandma. And I'm like, why can't commentators
113
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.680
say that kind of thing, like he can't guard a
114
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:45.360
traffic cone?
115
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:49.319
Like that would be that would that would catch my attention.
116
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:50.959
That would catch my attention absolutely.
117
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:55.680
How about this Jason in football? When they they start
118
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.959
doing like no huddler, they're kind of going quickly. They're
119
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.920
showing tempo. Oh they're going tempo to mean tempo is anything.
120
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.279
Could be fast, temple, can be slow. But just running
121
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.560
tempo isn't a thing like that. Tempo is just describing
122
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:14.120
Like it's like saying velocity. He throws the ball with velocity,
123
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:18.120
well high fast, high velocity, love velocid, so up tempo,
124
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:23.120
faster tempo, but just saying tempo could be anything.
125
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.000
He's throwing it with volume, like low volume, high volume.
126
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:29.000
I don't know.
127
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.519
Yeah, what kind of tempo. Oh they're going temple, they
128
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.560
go slow, Oh, they're going tempo. You never heard that
129
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:41.680
that would also work. Tempo is not high temple. You
130
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:47.639
could say that's what they're trying to say. I don't
131
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.600
like that one.
132
00:06:52.959 --> 00:07:02.600
Oh man, Let's see, it's a must win. You literally
133
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:04.920
said that. We can't even say that on the show
134
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.560
unless it's a statistical than it's a must win.
135
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.560
I love that. Yeah, you it has statistically a must
136
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.839
win game like the Lions game yesterday. I mean, technically
137
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.680
it was not a must win, but like in that case,
138
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.120
it's but like a lot of times, everything's a must win,
139
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.560
Like even like the second game of the season. If
140
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.480
they lose the first one, people say the second game
141
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:28.480
is a must win. Absolutely, no, No, it's not even
142
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:29.879
close to a must win.
143
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:31.480
Things can change so much.
144
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.279
No, yeah, it was a momentum of the season and
145
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:37.680
all kinds of stuff can come. So yeah, it's not
146
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:39.040
a must win until it is.
147
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.120
I started my fantasy league this year one and seven
148
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.279
and I still made the playoffs. You know, but last year,
149
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.839
two years ago, I started my season one in five
150
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:53.279
and I won the championship. Well, you're I'm apparently I'm
151
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:54.079
not a good drafter.
152
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:56.720
That's part.
153
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:00.480
That's the best part. I'm really really good to signing
154
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:04.079
free agents throughout the year, Okay, revamping my team by
155
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:05.560
kind of figuring it out throughout the season.
156
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.480
I've noticed sometimes when I try to sign free agents,
157
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.279
it lets me have them right away, and then other
158
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.399
times they got to go through waivers or like you
159
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.879
gotta wait a few days. I don't quit. You don't
160
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:20.000
get that difference. I don't either, because sometimes I'm like, oh, great,
161
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:21.839
he's on my team boom like right away, and then
162
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:24.519
other times you gotta like nothing happens, like it says
163
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:26.439
I have some pending stuff like they gotta wait for
164
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.040
other people not to sign them or whatever, like I'm
165
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:30.800
low on the waiverway or something like that.
166
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:32.919
I'm not sure if someone knows the answer to why
167
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:34.799
that happens. I'd love to know. I picked up a
168
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:37.320
defense at the end of the year and I was like, oh, yeah,
169
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.200
I got him, and I'm like, no, it says I
170
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.919
gotta wait until Sunday if I got him or.
171
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.639
Not, And I hope you don't have to do anything later,
172
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:47.879
like hopefully they just like I think I'm pretty sure
173
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:49.840
what it is, like they'll show up on our team
174
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:52.720
eventually once it once they pass through waivers, I think,
175
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.480
is what's happening? Yeah, but like, no one's gonna.
176
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.679
What is U? What is the designation? Why does that
177
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.000
person have to wait through the waivers? I don't understand.
178
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.799
And then I know that I've earlier in the season,
179
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:06.240
I remember I like signed it or whatever I did. Yeah,
180
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:09.639
I picked somebody and he was on my team right away.
181
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.039
I was like, this is okay. Yeah, And then other
182
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.519
times it doesn't have any other wait. So I don't
183
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:15.799
quite understand the difference.
184
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:18.480
I know, I don't. I feel like they must have
185
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.080
just got caught and somebody cut them with like exception
186
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.200
they like they I don't know, I don't know what
187
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:24.639
it might be.
188
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.759
Different rules per fantasy team too might be an issue.
189
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.000
But I'm like the opposite of you. I started out great,
190
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.440
I won like ten of my first eleven or something
191
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:36.519
that I've lost. I lost again this week, or I'm
192
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:40.360
going to lose this week unless who is it? Whoever?
193
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:42.879
I think one of my running backs is playing this, Oh,
194
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:45.639
Jonathan Taylor. If Jonathan Taylor ge is like seventy points,
195
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:46.159
I win.
196
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:50.320
It could happen. I guess JTT.
197
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:54.600
That was like, like earlier in the season, I needed
198
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.679
George Pickens to fumble eight times when I was gonna
199
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:01.799
win or something even like might even more, and he didn't.
200
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:07.240
He did a shocker spoiler alert, he did not fumble
201
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:07.840
eight times.
202
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:09.120
Yeah, George.
203
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:14.720
Speaking of George, Like, it's really funny because you brought
204
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:18.039
this topic up on last Tuesday, and I went to
205
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.919
basketball and somebody brought up George blaha, which is funny
206
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.200
because it's just random, you know. So this other guy
207
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:28.360
turned around and was just instantly like ready to go
208
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.320
off on George Blah. He was like he was just
209
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.639
kind of like he was ready to jump into the conversation.
210
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:35.679
So they started talking and I'm like, it's so funny
211
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:37.919
because I told him you just had this conversation.
212
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:39.159
He's like, tag me in.
213
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:40.679
If you guys, if you guys talk about this, I
214
00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:42.080
want to I want to send it out to my friends.
215
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.480
And I remember texting you probably about a year ago
216
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:48.000
and it was like unpopular opinion, but I hate George blah.
217
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:50.840
And he responded back and like that's an unpopular opinion.
218
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:53.080
I'm like, that's why, Like when I was like, man,
219
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.919
I want to do a podcast about like about this stuff,
220
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.519
but like that You're the first person I thought of,
221
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.120
because like we feel like we have that same kind
222
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.919
of like some kind of like uh, even this the
223
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.080
commentators we've seen kind of pet peeves as far as
224
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:06.399
that goes.
225
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:12.679
It's like, yeah, George, I'm trying to think of I'm
226
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:13.679
trying to think of some of.
227
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.799
His baby to foul. That's that's the number one thing.
228
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:19.120
Yet there's so many that'll be his legacy.
229
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.120
Two and twenty I'll say, like the minutes and seconds
230
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.879
two and twenty left in the third or whatever.
231
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.679
Yeah, So he's I was trying to listen to him objectively,
232
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:30.759
and I think everybody has their skills and talents, and
233
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:34.679
George has been doing this his fiftieth year, and like
234
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.919
usually there's astaalgia, Like I had so much nostalgia for Hartwell,
235
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.440
for like al Caline and George kel back in the day.
236
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:44.240
Those were good commentators. And in George, I haven't hated
237
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.639
him until recently. But I think maybe it's just because
238
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:48.960
he's like gotten old. I think the other thing that
239
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.759
really angers me about George is, man, you've been doing
240
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:54.360
this for fifty years, Like this is the you saw
241
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.840
everything there is to see with the Pistons, Like everything
242
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:58.840
there is a see in their history. You've seen from
243
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:03.080
the seventies till now. Yeah, and there's no stories, there's
244
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.879
no like he doesn't give you anything of relevance.
245
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.919
Yeah, there's I was just gonna say, there's no. He's
246
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.440
not like he doesn't seem approachable. He's very just he's
247
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.000
like on he's like this character the whole time when
248
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.360
he's talking. He doesn't just like sit back. It doesn't
249
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.600
like just sound like a normal person. He's just is
250
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.720
like this robotic play by play guy the whole time.
251
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.519
And he's never said such a homer he's like he's
252
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:30.639
like the grandpa that's that's commentating the games. Like he's
253
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.720
never gonna go and say their defense sucks like they
254
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:36.759
were they went up on that big losing streak, and
255
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:38.720
he wouldn't say a bad thing about them, Like he
256
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:41.399
wouldn't say they are they're they're not playing well like
257
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.200
he would they would be down by thirty and he
258
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.399
would had the same voice like, oh they're gonna do you.
259
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:49.120
Know, I cut it to twenty seven, you know, like
260
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:51.559
he gets all excited and then yeah, everything is like
261
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:55.000
overly positive and it's like, on, just be real, be
262
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.879
like tell us what you think or tell us really
263
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.639
what's happening exactly. But all those like Fox Sports and
264
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.000
then it was FanDuel or Belly and the fact they
265
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:06.120
all like that and that's like a big you know,
266
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.120
people realize that, and people have called them out on
267
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:12.879
the carpet about that. It's like, how so overly homerish
268
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:14.879
they are, Like you can't be because that's just like
269
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:19.279
it's just a regional network. But they're so overly over
270
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:23.600
the top positive and like have their blinders on there
271
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:27.320
like oblivion and not OBLIVI they don't they were refuse
272
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:29.879
in baseball, the Tigers and they're terrible, they refuse to
273
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:33.600
saything negative, which is it turns people off because it
274
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:34.320
just seems.
275
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:36.600
So really does it's fake, especially when you have a
276
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:38.159
horrible team out there, like.
277
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:41.200
Yeah, like the Pistons two years ago. Yeah, when they
278
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.919
were like the worst team in NBA history, and they
279
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:47.639
just wouldn't I mean very rarely they but they say
280
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:51.039
anything negative at all, which is like insane. You come
281
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:58.000
across as being like there's like fake and it's not credible.
282
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:02.600
And you can see Detroit fans like you can see
283
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:04.720
with the Lions lost and like people are already calling
284
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:06.600
for Dan Campbell to be fired, which to me is
285
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:08.679
the craziest thing in the world. Do you not remember
286
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:10.399
what life was like a few years ago? Do you
287
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.720
not remember this? You know, like, yeah, the season is
288
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:15.039
not turning out how we want, but there were so
289
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.279
many like fickle fans, and so we don't necessarily want
290
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.559
to hear the rainbows is pounce all the time, And
291
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:22.480
I think that's what turns people off so quickly.
292
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:27.240
M Yeah, the Lions that that was a tough fun Yes, yeah, man,
293
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:30.559
I we just watched the first half and then we
294
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.440
we're downtown but not time Detroit. But yeah, that was
295
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:39.679
that was tough. Man. I can't believe they I mean
296
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.679
a lot of its defensive line. Wh yeah, when you're
297
00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:45.000
starting Kingsley at Kugum.
298
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.360
But really it comes down to just play some defense.
299
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:53.120
And you know, it's also very hard because I think
300
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:56.360
it's fans we expect for like the backup guys to
301
00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.720
step in and be like Kirby Joseph and Brian Branch
302
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:00.799
and it's just not gonna happen. So you're gonna have
303
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:04.480
some limitations. But you know, offense is the interesting thing.
304
00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:06.399
So it's easy to blame them and easy to like
305
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:09.720
blame golf or the offensive. But they scored last week,
306
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:11.240
they scored thirty five points and lost.
307
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.159
Yeah, that's true. They're they're not being able to They
308
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:16.840
weren't able to run the ball at all. Yes year,
309
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:19.759
that's for sure. Twelve carries for fifteen yards I think.
310
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.039
But yeah, the defense, they're just when you've got Thomas
311
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.879
Harper out there, and I mean they're doing their best
312
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:28.679
they can, but they just don't have the talent, you know,
313
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.600
like like Kirby Joseph and Brian Branch do that you know,
314
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:38.120
Brian Branch is an absolute stud and then Kirby Joseph
315
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.080
had the nine interceptions to leave the league last year.
316
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:41.480
So when you don't have that stuff, it makes a
317
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:42.519
big difference for sure.
318
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.000
Well, and then to tie that into like how commentators
319
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:51.120
and in the press annoying me, like how your fractions
320
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:53.080
from a from a winner a loss. I mean it
321
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:55.120
comes down to the last couple of plays, and it's
322
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:57.480
like you'll see a night and day difference between the
323
00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:02.240
winner and the loser. The winner they've got this everything's perfect. Yeah,
324
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:04.639
they did everything perfect, you know, like this mindset, and
325
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:08.039
then the loser, like everything is drastically so much worse
326
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.039
on the other side, like there was just fractions that
327
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.279
allowed for that team, one team to win or the other.
328
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:16.360
And the prass make it sound like these two teams
329
00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:17.840
are in completely different islands.
330
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:19.879
Especially in the NFL, and it's just like ever the
331
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.279
talent level is so close, the parody is so close
332
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:28.240
that they any tiny little first you know, first down
333
00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:30.720
that they don't make or anything tiny, just it's so
334
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:35.720
the differences are so insignificant that yeah, and then the
335
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:38.240
next day everybody's all bitching if their team loses and
336
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.720
overly praising. So now I mean people have come up,
337
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:46.879
like different radio stations have shows have like overreaction Monday,
338
00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:49.240
you know. So I think that's because they know that
339
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:53.279
everyone's going to overreact either way, especially in football. Yeah,
340
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.120
and then baseball. You know, it is also very similar
341
00:16:55.440 --> 00:17:00.600
to that, where there's the talle level is also pretty close.
342
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:04.039
Basketball might be the farthest, maybe have the biggest amount
343
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:09.079
of variance between the talent levels, but still in professional
344
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:12.039
sports it's also really close.
345
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:17.200
I tore down George Wahaw a little bit, but then
346
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:19.200
you know, you'll give a shout out to somebody that
347
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.160
I that I really like Pat McAfee. Okay, yeah, I
348
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:23.839
like Pat McAfee and you can see him kind of
349
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:26.319
rising because he just does things differently. But I love
350
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.680
I was watching the Saturday for College of Football, and
351
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:31.799
you know, you have like Nick Saban and all these
352
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:34.720
guys given their their predictions and it's all like straight lights,
353
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:36.680
and then you have McAfee like stands up and does
354
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:40.160
this whole like like gets the whole crowd going. Like
355
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:41.960
but even when he's doing his interviews, I feel like
356
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:44.400
he asked like real questions as opposed to like.
357
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:46.880
I gotta watch him a little bit more. I just
358
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:50.559
know that he's standing. He's super like excited and like
359
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:53.799
stand doesn't sit when he does his podcast. He stands.
360
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.599
And yeah, I know he was a former an NFL
361
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.279
punter right with the Colts. I think, so, yeah, he's
362
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:04.839
he's he has one of the most well known podcast
363
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.839
successful podcasts and stuff, and yeah, he's a rising star
364
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:09.359
for sure.
365
00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:11.599
Well that's what's cool at podcasting is obviously he's a
366
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:14.400
punter and he has connections and you know, stuff like that.
367
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:17.759
But at the end of the day, if you have
368
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:19.720
a person out and you have some good content, you
369
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:21.799
can really climb the ranks no matter who you are.
370
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:25.599
And then look at he's now at this point where
371
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:27.279
he's making more money than most of the people that
372
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:27.599
he is.
373
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.359
Really how do you know that?
374
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:34.319
Because when he got signed, Steven A. Smith was all
375
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:38.160
pissed that he was making more money than him. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
376
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:43.759
of course. But to the point, like, it's not hard
377
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:46.359
to be different. It's not like this stuff that we're
378
00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:48.920
talking about that annoys us. I'm sure it annoys everybody,
379
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:50.759
which is like I'm like, yeah, let's go talk about
380
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:53.039
this stuff because and if you avoid doing that and
381
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:54.880
you can find a way to get outside of the box,
382
00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:56.400
I think you're really well received.
383
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:01.799
Another thing that sticking with football is and they say
384
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:04.720
the players are commun they communicate. They like to use
385
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:07.920
big words commune. They're not talking, they're communicating. They're not
386
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:10.880
players or people, they're individuals. They got to use the
387
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:16.079
five syllable word. The individuals are communicating out there. The
388
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:16.920
people aren't talking.
389
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:19.440
Yep, they're not talking.
390
00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:23.039
There's an eternity on the clock. There's any there's a
391
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:27.039
minute twelve left. There's they have an eternity to score
392
00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:33.680
one that I don't like. Yeah, I mean, there's exactly
393
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:35.160
a finite amount of time left.
394
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:41.440
Actually, this possession is huge. They don't need a three here.
395
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:46.200
But he can make that. He can make that, he
396
00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:51.720
can make it, he can do that. Here's another one
397
00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:54.039
and I found this online. I can't take credit for this,
398
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:57.480
but I'm ready iphund. Somebody said when there's lots of
399
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.200
room for running back to get through the hole, the
400
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:02.920
commentators will often make a comment like you could have
401
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.920
driven a truck through that hole. Trucks can flatten people.
402
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:11.200
You could drive a truck through it anyway, No hole.
403
00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:15.200
There could be literally no blacking at all, and you'd
404
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:17.559
still have no problem driving a truck through the back
405
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:21.559
field into the end. So I like that one.
406
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:23.400
Hilarious.
407
00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:27.559
I've never thought of that. But yeah, I think they're
408
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:31.920
talking about how wide they'll I'm gonna be overly literal here,
409
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:35.079
but like the width of the.
410
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:38.599
Whole, you can literally drive a truck you're not.
411
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:41.119
Hurt anybody, is what they mean. I think.
412
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:46.680
That hole is so big, so they got to reposition
413
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:48.200
how they say it. That hole is so big that
414
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:50.559
you could drive it through it and not touch anyone.
415
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.680
If everyone likes INSTI get the it's a blacks hole.
416
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:00.759
The black hole. You could theoretically drive that truck through
417
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.440
that hole without touching anybody.
418
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:06.400
Yeah, so, like I'm being too literal, That's that's the
419
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:08.799
way I view the world as in the curve, like
420
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:12.799
a literal lens in. And the funny thing about that is,
421
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:17.319
I hate it when people say literally when they're literally,
422
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:18.920
when it's not literal.
423
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:23.000
It's not literal. I remember Anthony Ayani, he played at
424
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:26.079
Michigan State. He was the only to this we know
425
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:29.759
an the autistic Scott d One. Anyways, I read his
426
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:32.200
book a couple of years ago, and he was talking
427
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:35.640
about like growing up with autism and people would say
428
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:37.240
it's raining cats and dogs, and he'd run to the
429
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:40.519
window to look for the cats and dogs because like
430
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:44.880
they don't interpret, you know, Like so to think of
431
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:47.519
this stuff, you know, like people on the spectrum, when
432
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:49.559
you say, like they can drive a truck, it sounds
433
00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:51.880
funny to us because we know can interpret that. They
434
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.119
don't mean that literal. But like when you look at
435
00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:56.799
people that don't interpret that is literal, like they're picturing
436
00:21:56.799 --> 00:21:58.000
a truck driving through these.
437
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:00.319
People, that's money.
438
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:01.799
Yeah.
439
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:03.920
I never remember hearing about it. I remember he was
440
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:06.400
on the state team. He didn't never really played, but yeah,
441
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:08.720
I believe he was from Okamus and he was a
442
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:13.519
big guy and they I heard about it later that
443
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:16.960
he had autism and stuff. That's that's really remarkable. Good
444
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:17.319
for him.
445
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:19.680
Yeah, I didn't know. I didn't know anything about him
446
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:23.680
too much when he played at the time. But I
447
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:25.960
actually got to speak with him at an event. We
448
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:29.119
spoke on the same at the same event, and then
449
00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:30.480
I connected him with a friend of mine and he
450
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:34.880
ended up speaking at another event. Super super cool, nice guy.
451
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:38.640
He was him and Draymond Green were a really good friend.
452
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:41.119
So yeah, this was that about the same time.
453
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:43.759
It was gonna say at the same time. In fact,
454
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:45.559
have you ever seen have you this was on this
455
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:50.000
week again? Have you seen the Big ten special show
456
00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:51.559
that kissed the floor or whatever?
457
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:55.319
Yeah, just a tiny bit of it. It was I
458
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.839
thought it was about the I just saw like thirty
459
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:00.319
seconds of it was matteen kissing the floor. I guess
460
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:02.519
it had been a long time because I believe Sean
461
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:06.519
restlers heard that and then did they not do it
462
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:08.319
for a while and then the team brought it back.
463
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:11.400
Yeah. So like in the show they talk about how
464
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:14.960
Sean Respert like it was an impromptu thing, you know,
465
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:17.359
and it was just kind of so like the history
466
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.880
of it is, well, Shawn Respert was there, the Fab
467
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:23.119
five had notoriously rubbed their rubbed their asses on the
468
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:26.200
starting and so like as he was leaving, it was
469
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:28.880
kind of like a symbolism of like I earned this.
470
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:31.559
This is like you know, like I'm spartan blah blah blah,
471
00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:33.920
and so it was just impromptu and you did it
472
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.279
and then he wasn't, but they said he wasn't. Necessarily
473
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:40.359
it didn't catch on nobody really thought like, oh, I
474
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:43.720
should do that too. And then when matteen came out
475
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:46.799
and in his senior year they beat Michigan by like
476
00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:49.920
fifty points or something. Matteen had twenty assists in that game.
477
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:51.799
It's still a big ten record to this day for
478
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:55.640
most assists in the game. Yep I. And then as
479
00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:58.079
he said he was walking off, he was like he
480
00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:00.319
remembered Sean Respert, and he was like, I'm going to
481
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:04.000
make this or tradition. And then Matteen had enough like
482
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:06.920
he was a legend, you know, like he was a
483
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:09.440
pop culture icon. And we talked about that in the
484
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:16.000
last time in the lost episode. But like he when
485
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:19.160
he did it, it caught on and then everybody started
486
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:21.039
doing that, continuing the tradition. You know.
487
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:24.559
Restler was one of my favorites. He one of the
488
00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:30.440
same high school is my wife's parents, Bishop Boards High School.
489
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:30.880
No way.
490
00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:33.400
Paris Shickman also went there, who played in Michigan State
491
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:35.200
a little bit before. I think it was a little
492
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:38.599
bit before Resper. So yeah, okay, so Resper, I'm like
493
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:41.720
crazy when it comes to this basket. I know a
494
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:43.640
lot of this. You canna say basketball in the nineties,
495
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:46.880
So Resper graduated or his last year was ninety five.
496
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:50.559
Mateen's last year was two thousands, So went five years,
497
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:54.039
I guess with anybody because on the floor and then
498
00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:56.079
after that they all kind of all the seniors did
499
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:57.799
it right two thousand Yep.
500
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:00.599
Now it's been Yeah, now it's a year. It's a thing.
501
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:04.119
And they had they feature I don't know, I want
502
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:06.519
to say, like five different people in it. Nah, It's
503
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:11.680
it's an emotional one emotional they do. Uh. They start
504
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:13.920
off with Sean Raspert and the Mateen Cleaves and then
505
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:19.559
uh Draymond and then Steven Izzo, which is a really
506
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:22.079
good one in itself. This kid is just Michigan State
507
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:25.440
through and through. Obviously Adrian Payne, which is a sad
508
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:28.839
one man, just kind of a sad life.
509
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:33.200
Yeah. So when I ran in the Izzo Run this year,
510
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:36.559
the five k in Michigan State in April, Steven Izzo
511
00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:38.480
was I think he was up doing the I think
512
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:40.319
he might have even have started their race, but he
513
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:42.200
was up like on a truck or something with a
514
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:44.079
few of the people with a megaphone. I think he's,
515
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:46.000
you know, ready to go kind of thing. Or he
516
00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:47.839
was like making announceense and stuff like that. So he
517
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:49.000
was participating in that.
518
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:50.079
That's awesome.
519
00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:53.279
Yeah, that's a great event. There's a lot of fast
520
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:56.920
runners in people like zipping past me. I mean it's
521
00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:59.359
all college kids, so like not all, but like there's
522
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:01.599
more college kids than that type of thing.
523
00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:05.279
So yeah, man, you talk about his Respert, the man
524
00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:08.400
Sean Respert was my favorite. I remember freshman from freshman year.
525
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:10.599
He's one of the fair rare freshmen that came in
526
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:12.880
and contributed. He could shoot from that his shot was
527
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:16.359
just pretty We got four years of that all through
528
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:18.279
the Fab five because he came in, he was there
529
00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:19.599
at the same time the Fab five.
530
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:23.519
Was there, and he actually played one of the rare
531
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:27.079
kids that played five years in Michigan States. He played
532
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:30.359
a little bit of red shirt year, yeah, but not
533
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:34.119
enough to like little enough to be able to do
534
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:36.279
four more years. And yeah, he was like one of
535
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:38.559
their leading scores is freshman year and then she was
536
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:41.079
I'm sure the leading square there was to the three years,
537
00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:45.359
the you know who was awesome who coincidentally could not shoot,
538
00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:49.000
so we had like a really shooter and then especially
539
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:50.720
in free throws of course, but.
540
00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:52.640
Remember how much he improved in free throws. I remember
541
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:54.920
his first his freshman year, he shot like thirteen percent.
542
00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:57.359
It was bad, but then by the end he was
543
00:26:57.359 --> 00:26:59.440
like an eighty percent shooter. I want to say, Yeah,
544
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:02.079
he ended up. He worked really hard and then who
545
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:04.319
would have guessed he would have had the longer pro career.
546
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:06.279
Yeah, a lot. He was with the Kivs and was
547
00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:07.920
much better.
548
00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:11.160
He played for the with the Sixers for a long
549
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:13.839
time too. Did he played with in that year that
550
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:16.079
they went to the finals? Him and Aaron McKee and
551
00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:16.920
Dekemy Matombo.
552
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:22.279
That's interesting. He was I really liked him. I got
553
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:25.759
an autograph from him when we somehow that I don't know.
554
00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:28.039
I was in middle school and I remember going down there.
555
00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:30.400
I get his autograph on something. So that was that
556
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:32.799
was that was exciting. And now his is that his
557
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:36.160
son or who's on the Michigan State knows that. I
558
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:36.759
can never remember.
559
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:39.920
This was racking my brain over what his name is.
560
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:41.920
What is Scarious SIUs?
561
00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:46.279
Because Eric's brother was Percy Snow who was a little
562
00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:48.440
bit older and played football and was excellent and played
563
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:50.240
for the Chiefs and then he was on the road
564
00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:53.240
by the best defensive player and a great defensive team.
565
00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:57.240
He won the uh the linebacker with the Outlander or whatever,
566
00:27:57.759 --> 00:27:59.039
and then he was the first round pick.
567
00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:03.839
Yeah he awesome and the best defensive player middle linebacker
568
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:06.319
for the eighty seven rules Spool Michigan State team.
569
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:07.640
Yep he was.
570
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.519
Yeah, Harlan Barnett was on that team. I ended up
571
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:15.680
being assistant whatever, like came in when Mel Tucker did
572
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:16.440
his things.
573
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:21.759
Tuk coming. Isn't that the worst slogan you could ever
574
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:22.319
come up with?
575
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:22.599
Though?
576
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:24.160
Like when then you go and do what you do
577
00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:26.759
like Tuck comming. I'm like that, man, that's uh did
578
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:29.079
you hit Brenda Tracy with that at the end? Truck coming?
579
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.480
That was for sure or whatever?
580
00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:36.640
When you texted me about Sharon Moore, I'm like, I
581
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:39.200
joked around about there's you know, Mel Tucker, but I
582
00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:44.079
didn't think the situation would be to tell you yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
583
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:44.599
I love that.
584
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:48.519
I know it's always great breaking the story. I'm trying
585
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:51.039
to think, yeah, so don'tline.
586
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:53.720
But I was going into re meeting. I was like,
587
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:56.599
what did they fly lost to Ohio State? And You're
588
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:58.720
like no, this like same thing.
589
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:00.240
I remember I was in a car for some mean
590
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:02.480
Sarah was driving and I was We're on like M
591
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:07.200
fifty nine going through Waterfordush area, and Uh, I opened
592
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:11.000
up something up and it said mel Tucker probably has
593
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:14.759
coached his last game in Michigan State. I'm like, what why? Yeah,
594
00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:17.680
that's I never that never even dawned on me that
595
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:22.680
to be something like you know, uh, banking what it was.
596
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:27.559
I just the thought process in that, Like what is
597
00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:29.200
I don't know, that's crazy.
598
00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:33.240
It's a man. Yeah, And like that's that's one of
599
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:35.079
those deals. When it's that bad, it's like it'd be
600
00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:37.279
hard to even get an assistant coaching job. I think
601
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:39.680
after that, like if you go down, I mean, Shearon
602
00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:41.039
took it to another level.
603
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:44.240
Burnt the whole house down. Literally, Like I can't even
604
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:47.519
believe he he's not touched up work at another job.
605
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:48.599
He can't go do anything else.
606
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:53.440
Yeah, he's I mean that he's up against some felonies
607
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:58.519
and how the mighty have fallen. That's crazy though, how
608
00:29:58.559 --> 00:29:59.400
that whole deal went.
609
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:01.960
But it's crazy. And uh, and then you have all
610
00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:06.480
these oldly fans girls coming out and saying it's so
611
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:09.519
hard to tell because they actually get you know, they
612
00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:11.279
have a reason to come out and they're gonna get
613
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:12.680
people looking up this marketing.
614
00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:17.759
Yeah, so yeah, I would take that for sure. So
615
00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:21.119
I got another good one. This one is drives me
616
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:24.200
freaking crazy. Now, okay, now we're into my baseball ones.
617
00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:25.920
When a picture gives up and I already told you
618
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:27.759
about this, but when a picture gives up a home
619
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:30.319
run and the pitching coach comes out, and then the
620
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:34.720
breachers just say, oh, the picture coach is coming out
621
00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:38.000
to settle him down. Hey, this guy doesn't need to
622
00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:41.240
be settled down. He's so used to this. He's pitched
623
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:45.279
a bajillion pitches and innings in his life. He's been
624
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:49.119
through this situation, and he's succeeded and been successful after
625
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:51.599
the home run a million times in his life. He's
626
00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:54.000
so used to this. We can't even understand it. He
627
00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:56.480
doesn't need to be not rattled it like ninety nine
628
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:58.200
percent of the time of the year, they're not rattled.
629
00:30:58.240 --> 00:31:00.559
They give up home runs used to it, and then
630
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:02.720
I'll stick out the next guy. So I just think
631
00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:05.039
that's so overrated that the picture, you know what the
632
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:07.400
pitching coach is going out to say, he's going out
633
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:10.240
to like talk about like how you're going to pitch
634
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:12.279
the next guy or a strategy.
635
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:13.200
They're not.
636
00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:14.880
He doesn't need to really need to be settled down.
637
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:16.200
I mean I can't imagine that.
638
00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:19.200
Well, and if we think about it, like, the more
639
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:22.240
you sit and think about something, like if you're really
640
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:24.279
doing it to settle him down, you're giving him a
641
00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:26.880
longer time for to thinking to think about it versus
642
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:28.839
just going back out there and throwing the next pitch.
643
00:31:28.839 --> 00:31:30.920
That's a good point too. I never thought about that. Yeah,
644
00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:33.279
he's gonna be stewing it in a few more minutes
645
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:34.759
if you go out and talk to him about it.
646
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:35.559
Okay.
647
00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:38.359
I just I can't imagine the pitch going. Okay, now,
648
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:45.559
settle down, Like, dude, I'm thirty thirty, Like I could see,
649
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:49.400
like high school, how that would be, that would be
650
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:51.759
might be needed to settle down. I know that I've
651
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:56.759
gone out when I've coached baseball and I've been settling him.
652
00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:00.640
I've had to settle down people. But well, he's like
653
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:08.240
pros come on that one. That one bugs me. Oh here,
654
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:13.079
I got one more baseball one When Zach when Kinstry
655
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:15.319
comes to me and Lenny Dykstra when they get their
656
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:19.920
uniform dirty and the broadcasters make a big deal about
657
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:24.160
how he's like a gritty player, and you know he
658
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:27.559
and how like lunch paleish she is and all that
659
00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:31.519
kind of stuff. When he his jersey is dirty, what
660
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:36.480
I think is he's had to slide. He's slid, And
661
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:38.799
then you know what, the guy who's jersey is clean,
662
00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:42.240
he didn't have to slide. That's the difference. It's not
663
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:48.400
like the slidy guy is grittier and works harder than
664
00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:50.480
the guy who didn't have to slide.
665
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:54.359
I just hate you can't.
666
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:56.640
Deduce anything by how dirty someone's uniform is.
667
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:04.799
You have commented, like analysts and in journalists have had
668
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:07.359
these jobs forever, and they come up to you after
669
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:09.200
the game and say, what does this meant? Win mean
670
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:09.480
to you?
671
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:12.559
That's a good?
672
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:14.680
Can we not come up with a better question?
673
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:17.720
It means a lot, It means a lot.
674
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:21.839
Yeah, And that's what you usually get. You usually get
675
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:25.160
just uh, just as half asked answer as you got
676
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:27.759
a question, or you get players or coaches that roll
677
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:30.000
their eyes or that they're like, I can't believe you
678
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:32.240
asked that stupid question, and they get asked that question
679
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:33.440
over and over and over again.
680
00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:35.720
What does it mean to That's good? Yeah, that's true.
681
00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:39.720
Like, obviously, what does this lost mean to you? What
682
00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:40.759
does this win mean to you?
683
00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:45.880
Before questions? That's good. Yeah, a lot of times, like
684
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:48.720
on the Lions, you can't even hear the reporters questions
685
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:50.359
and a lot of their press camp listen to the
686
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:52.960
Lions press oh yeah, and a lot of times lately
687
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:55.519
it's been better, but like for a long time, and
688
00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:58.240
people always complain in the comments, I can't hear the question,
689
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:02.400
you can't hear the questions. Yeah, that's another minor, but
690
00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:05.240
people of mine is that you can't hear the reporter's question.
691
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:07.680
Yeah, yeah, because you have no idea what they're answering.
692
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:10.559
Yeah, I know. Yeah, so that's kind of one of
693
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:14.280
those It's like you think they would have the technology,
694
00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:16.039
but I can sort of understand because you'd have to
695
00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:18.280
like pass it around, Like logistically, it'd be kind of
696
00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:19.760
hard to like because you don't want to mike up
697
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:22.480
every single person who's at the press. I've never been
698
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:24.920
a press commerce, but I would assume that that's that's
699
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:27.400
the problem, is that how do you pass the micro
700
00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:29.159
around and get it there in time and all that stuff?
701
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:32.000
Did you expect that you'd play this well?
702
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:37.079
No, have you heard that one before.
703
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:41.639
No, I can't imagine that we actually had this good
704
00:34:41.639 --> 00:34:44.000
of a game. I've done this my whole entire life.
705
00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:46.800
It's shocked, shocking that escort twenty points right hit our
706
00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:47.280
home run.
707
00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:52.280
Yeah, I think they're just trying to get him like
708
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:56.079
this is just it'd be better if they're just like talk,
709
00:34:56.760 --> 00:35:03.199
just talking words about the game. That's really because there
710
00:35:03.199 --> 00:35:04.719
are a lot of them. They won't even answer, which
711
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:07.000
is another one of my pet paves is when they
712
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:09.519
don't even answer the question. And I have it on here.
713
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:12.599
Here's the one that's kind of appropriate to that. When
714
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:19.559
the reporter asks two questions and the player answers the
715
00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:23.440
second question and just completely ignores the first question. Have you
716
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:24.840
ever heard they Have you noticed this before?
717
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:28.800
I noticed this? In normal everyday life, you can text
718
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:31.159
somebody two questions and they'll answer the first one to
719
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:35.039
completely ignore the first. Like my wife I was talking about,
720
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:36.920
she has this business and so she does a lot
721
00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:39.760
of design work, and she'll ask people two questions, both
722
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:42.760
of them are more important, and they'll answer one and
723
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:44.960
she's like, Okay, how about the other? Can you answer
724
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:46.480
the other one too? Because I need to know a bull?
725
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:50.800
Yeah, Yeah, that's I've we ran into that something like
726
00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:55.280
that today similarly, but yeah, at home. But yeah, it
727
00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:57.280
seems like in an interview it's the second question that
728
00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:00.159
gets answered in the first question. That doesn't especially like
729
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:02.519
the younger the people are like the you know, like
730
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:08.159
college kids, they'll players, athletes, they'll answer the second question,
731
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:13.039
and I'm always like to answer the first, right there,
732
00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:16.079
Just listen to the first one, and it's not that hard.
733
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:17.559
Didn't I ask him three or four there, asking to
734
00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:20.039
just due first one or second one and first one,
735
00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:24.000
do second one first, and then the first one. It
736
00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:25.239
just seems so obvious to me.
737
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:27.360
But or just let him know that you're only going
738
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:29.119
to answer one and they need to pay you extra
739
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:32.760
for the second question. Either way, make it, make it
740
00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:33.320
find I don't know.
741
00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:35.519
I'm just doing this interview so I won't get fine.
742
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:41.719
So I won't get fined. Marshawn Lynch, Yeah, we're talking
743
00:36:41.719 --> 00:36:44.840
about it something else. But he was like, you would
744
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:46.519
show up and not and not do the interview.
745
00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:48.400
Yeah, I'm just fine.
746
00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:51.480
He literally said that, It's like for.
747
00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:53.679
Every question, that was his answer to every question.
748
00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:57.519
So and I love this, uh, this question. I've heard
749
00:36:57.559 --> 00:37:00.159
some I've heard a creative the most creative, I'll the
750
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:02.719
most creative way ever to answered. But what were you
751
00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:06.880
thinking there? What were you thinking? And it's like athletes
752
00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:10.519
are not thinking when they're running really fast. It was
753
00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:12.960
happened most recently with the Jamior Gibbs when he broke
754
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:14.960
a touchdown. Somebody asked him what he was thinking and
755
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:18.000
like he's like, I don't know. I wasn't, Like I
756
00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:19.920
don't he wasn't thinking I'm gonna go get a sandwich
757
00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:22.000
check for this, like you know, like I wonder if
758
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:22.880
my wife's doing and you.
759
00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:27.519
Know, like instinct, like you're just going, You've just done
760
00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:30.119
this a lot, and you just you see a guy
761
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:32.679
there and you just it's all You're not even thinking.
762
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:35.159
You're not thinking well. And so that's it brings me
763
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:37.599
to my most my most favorite way that question was
764
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:40.719
answered was there's this documentary that a moderate shot is
765
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:43.280
interviewing Michael Jordan and he takes my modern shot takes
766
00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:45.599
Michael Jordan through his whole career and he gets to
767
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:48.800
this point when the last game with the Bulls against
768
00:37:48.840 --> 00:37:52.360
the Jazz, Michael Jordan crosses up Byron Russell. Byron Russell
769
00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:55.360
falls and he gets the jumper Ryan Byron.
770
00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:57.199
Are you sure that was right? Anyway?
771
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:02.599
Anyways, either one he falls over in a madra shot
772
00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:05.639
like positive. It's like, Michael right here, tell me, what
773
00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:09.079
were you thinking? And Michael's like, if I was thinking,
774
00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:10.880
I would have like dribbled it in the corner. He
775
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:12.320
was like, if I was thinking, I would have probably
776
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:14.599
dribled the ball off my foot. He was like, I
777
00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:17.800
wasn't thinking. He's like, I've conditioned my body. I've conditioned
778
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:20.719
myself through practice. He was like, and he told this
779
00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:22.840
really cool stories, like when I was a rookie. When
780
00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:24.920
I was a rookie, we do these practices and like
781
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:28.679
we'd in. The winning team would get whatever, like whatever reward,
782
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:30.760
they'd get practice off or whatever. And he was like,
783
00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:32.199
I'd get my team up by a lot and the
784
00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:34.559
coach would call time out, which was Doug Collins back then.
785
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:36.440
He's like, the coach would call time out and then
786
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:38.079
he'd switch me and put me on the losing team.
787
00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:39.840
And he was like, at first it really pissed me off.
788
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:41.920
He's like, make me really mad, and I'd storm back
789
00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:44.199
and I'd win. He's like, then I realized the coach
790
00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:47.079
was just trying to condition me and pushing me to
791
00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:48.960
you know, it's not about me winning, it's about me
792
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:51.760
becoming going to another level. And so he's like, every
793
00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:54.599
day I could, I played practice like I was playing
794
00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:56.800
for the championship game. He was like, So, if you're
795
00:38:56.840 --> 00:38:59.639
practicing every day like you're playing for the championship, by
796
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:01.719
time you get to that actual game, he was like,
797
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:04.559
there's no question about my ability. I know exactly what
798
00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:07.519
I'm able to do, and so I'm not thinking about it.
799
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:10.880
My body's reacting naturally because I've practiced it over and
800
00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:11.320
over again.
801
00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:15.159
Yeah, that's what practice is just getting like golf, like
802
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:16.639
when I go to the driving game, I'm trying to
803
00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:19.199
just condition my swing to be exactly the same way
804
00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:20.400
every time. You're not going to do it, but you
805
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:22.599
get as close as you can close the end of
806
00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:25.920
the same you know, same thing every time, so you
807
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:29.559
you have consistency and everything else. So yeah, that's that's
808
00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:32.599
the That's what practice is all about. And that's what
809
00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:35.679
that goes along with not thinking. You don't have time
810
00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:38.360
to think. You're just you're just doing the thing that
811
00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:42.079
you're supposed to do to be successful and that you've
812
00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:45.239
been practicing. So it's about it. Yeah, good.
813
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:48.000
I just feel like there's so much more, Like when
814
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:50.079
you when you're interviewing an anthlete like a Michael Jordan
815
00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:53.119
or something, there's you know, like they've they've experienced a lot.
816
00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:56.199
There's there's a lot more inside there than the surface
817
00:39:56.280 --> 00:39:58.599
level answers that we're getting. And if if your job
818
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:01.519
is a reporter kind commentator is to entertain us and
819
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:04.239
keep us wanting to watch, then let's provide a deeper level.
820
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:07.719
Let's let's get something better than the water down stupid
821
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:10.599
answers and that you're getting because you're asking stupid questions.
822
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:13.920
Yeah, that's a good point. That's uh. I wish they
823
00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:15.199
would listen. They should listen.
824
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:18.840
They should. We're gonna tag them in these We're going
825
00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:20.480
to change the industry.
826
00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:26.840
A man. Now. Sometimes I get annoyed by fans too.
827
00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:31.199
Fans bother me, like when they boo and the picture
828
00:40:31.199 --> 00:40:34.079
throws the first base. It's is partly gonna who cares,
829
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:36.639
especially now because if they only don't want that, Yeah,
830
00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:38.119
who cares?
831
00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:40.679
Will take say now, you're penalized if you do it
832
00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:41.960
more than a couple of times.
833
00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:46.199
So it's just like I never the booing booing in general.
834
00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:48.960
I a lot of times I don't understand I'm not
835
00:40:48.960 --> 00:40:51.079
a boer. I think it says more about the boer
836
00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:51.840
than the booie.
837
00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:57.480
I hit this guy on my podcast a couple of
838
00:40:57.559 --> 00:41:00.519
years ago, and he's a he's a referee. He's a
839
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:03.400
business consultant, but he's his other job. He's a referee
840
00:41:03.400 --> 00:41:06.199
for high school football in Texas. And so he's like
841
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:09.719
talking about how serious football is in Texas. And he's,
842
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:11.400
you know, he's had a lot of like famous coaches
843
00:41:11.400 --> 00:41:13.199
and stuff. He's like raft and stuff. But he was
844
00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:15.679
like the thing that you can tell, you can He's like,
845
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:17.920
I can tell a winning coach versus a losing coach
846
00:41:18.480 --> 00:41:20.920
within a few seconds. He was like the winning coach.
847
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:24.480
He was like, winning coaches very rarely sitting will argue
848
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:27.440
a call with you. He was like, because they they're
849
00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:29.440
they're game. The game is a chess match. Like they're
850
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:32.360
not gonna sit in like spend all that time. He's like, this,
851
00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:33.800
are just on to the next play. They got to
852
00:41:33.840 --> 00:41:36.039
get their players focusing on the next play. He was like,
853
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:38.679
the coaches that are usually the worst are the ones
854
00:41:38.719 --> 00:41:40.559
that will sit and like argue with me and like
855
00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:42.599
it's my fault the reason why they're losing the game.
856
00:41:42.679 --> 00:41:45.679
Yeah, probably because they're losing, they're taking it out on
857
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:49.880
the roof. Yeah. So the booing I don't, especially some fans,
858
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:55.960
I don't. I don't understand that. So or how about
859
00:41:56.079 --> 00:42:00.159
fans who yell at refs for like some small, all
860
00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:02.320
instinct things that they would never be able to see,
861
00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:04.480
Like there's a penalty a face mask and they can't
862
00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:07.679
They're five hundred feet away. They're never gonna be able
863
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:10.639
to see this. The ref is right there, the officials
864
00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:14.280
is right there, calls calls it whatever, and oh my gosh,
865
00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:19.199
like yeah, the school that I go watch, very successful
866
00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:24.280
football program, howl and if we get a penalty thrown,
867
00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:27.280
it's like everyone thinks that the refs are against us.
868
00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:31.559
Like the give a shit if Salem or Howell wins this.
869
00:42:31.800 --> 00:42:34.360
These fourteen year olds plan out there. They don't care.
870
00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:36.960
They're just trying to to do the best they can
871
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:39.679
in the game. Have it be fair, get out of there,
872
00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:41.760
get paid, go have a beer. That's all they give
873
00:42:41.760 --> 00:42:43.920
a shit about. So they don't care about who wins.
874
00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:46.639
And it's hold the booing and the whole yelling, and
875
00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:49.800
you learn a lot about someone's character. I think when
876
00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:53.960
when when they're when you're tested and they're kind of
877
00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:56.079
the fans are being tested a little bit. Well here's
878
00:42:56.119 --> 00:42:58.840
some adversity. How are you gonna handle this adversity? And love?
879
00:42:58.840 --> 00:42:59.679
Handle it very well?
880
00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:03.320
You talk about fans. I love this because like talking
881
00:43:03.320 --> 00:43:08.760
about especially high school, middle school, elementary kids, and you
882
00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:13.840
hear fans yelling catch it hit, Yeah, like he does
883
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:15.960
to catch that? Like really, is he gonna catch it
884
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:18.159
one hundred percent of the time? Like you know, like
885
00:43:18.800 --> 00:43:21.000
run this way, run that way. First off, they can't
886
00:43:21.039 --> 00:43:23.840
hear you. And if they did, what way is that way?
887
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:26.960
Like you know, like you're yelling from the stands is
888
00:43:26.960 --> 00:43:29.880
not helping them at all. You're not the PlayStation controller.
889
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:39.239
Yeah, that's a good point. It's just fans or Yeah.
890
00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:42.280
So there's actually a really cool mock video out there
891
00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:44.280
a dad that's like yelling and he's like, what do
892
00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:45.920
you mean you didn't catch It's this thing? You're five
893
00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:47.880
years old to catch it on the time.
894
00:43:49.639 --> 00:43:51.639
Yeah, they make fun of that. I love those when
895
00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:53.480
they make fun of them, like TikTok whatever.
896
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:56.880
They're making fun of the dumb like basketball. My god,
897
00:43:57.000 --> 00:44:01.480
shooting threes like mb A threes. You're good at you
898
00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:05.440
you're good if you're shooting thirty six percent. Our kids
899
00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:09.480
are not going to shoot ten percent. Yeah, like you
900
00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:12.599
think they're gonna make it that many. You know half
901
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:14.559
the time you're delusional.
902
00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:16.000
Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.
903
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:19.559
Timmy's not going to the NBA. He's in Howell, Michigan.
904
00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:22.119
If he goes to the yeah, good for.
905
00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:27.440
You, yep. Or when they boo when the pitching the
906
00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:30.199
picture throws it a little high, like up like a
907
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:32.000
little bit of chin music, but not even in just
908
00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:35.280
high and they boo boo, they're trying to hit our guy.
909
00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:42.440
They're just the high the I'm amazed at the they
910
00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:44.280
give the They give them too much credit. They give
911
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:46.000
them the pictures too much credit. Like they can't throw
912
00:44:46.039 --> 00:44:49.760
every single pitch exactly how they want and they especially
913
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:51.000
never want to hit somebody.
914
00:44:51.159 --> 00:44:54.440
Types of pitches are throwing. Look at the movement, the velocity,
915
00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:59.119
keyword velocity. The velocity some of these pitches have. You know,
916
00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:02.000
like you watching as a fan, you see the ball
917
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:04.440
going straight and then it does like this, You know this,
918
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:07.079
How do you control that one hundred percent? Of the time.
919
00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:10.559
Yeah, I know it's a it takes a lot of practice, Jason,
920
00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:11.920
like we're talking about for sure.
921
00:45:12.719 --> 00:45:15.679
But you got the you know leon at home on
922
00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:18.360
his couch that can throw a path perfect you know,
923
00:45:18.519 --> 00:45:20.679
like or a ball.
924
00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:23.199
A quarter mile over. Those mountains.
925
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:26.599
Could all been different, Napoleon could all been different.
926
00:45:26.719 --> 00:45:28.679
If they would have put me in in the eighty
927
00:45:28.719 --> 00:45:30.440
two in the.
928
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:36.880
Third quarter, I could have went pro Yo tunk O
929
00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:40.039
Rico in the van in the field throwing the ball.
930
00:45:41.400 --> 00:45:44.719
I love how he's videotaping himself. Sure he's like the
931
00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:49.159
first podcast the o G.
932
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:52.679
I wonder where he was sending that tape. Those are man,
933
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:57.119
what a movie that was. Ah. I remember like when
934
00:45:57.119 --> 00:45:58.559
that movie came out, and like the they're doing the
935
00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:01.320
Happy Hands. But I remember sitting through those like types
936
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:03.480
of assemblies through school the Happy Hands, and.
937
00:46:03.719 --> 00:46:06.719
No, I didn't nobody. And it's so funny because I
938
00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:08.199
didn't like it the first time I saw, and I've
939
00:46:08.280 --> 00:46:09.679
talked to a lot of other people who had the
940
00:46:09.719 --> 00:46:11.880
same impression. I remember I was with a bunch of
941
00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:14.719
people in Lancing in an apartment and we're watching it.
942
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:19.320
I remember, really, what is this so bizarre? I did
943
00:46:19.320 --> 00:46:20.960
not like it all, and then the second time you
944
00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:23.320
like a little more. No, I absolutely love it.
945
00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:25.719
It's so funny, man, so quotable.
946
00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:28.239
There's so many great things. It's got a good message.
947
00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:29.639
Actually, it's got a really good message.
948
00:46:29.639 --> 00:46:34.880
It's really good message at the end. And and everybody
949
00:46:34.960 --> 00:46:36.559
I've heard of so many other people say the same thing.
950
00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:38.239
They didn't like it at first.
951
00:46:38.599 --> 00:46:40.280
It was one of those movies I remember at the beginning,
952
00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:42.039
people are like, you were gonna love it or hate it,
953
00:46:42.079 --> 00:46:44.920
And I loved it out of the gate. I type
954
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:48.679
of humor. It reminded me of elementary school to some degree,
955
00:46:48.719 --> 00:46:53.079
middle school kind of but man when he comes into
956
00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:54.760
the moon boots and does the dance at the end.
957
00:46:55.199 --> 00:46:57.760
We went to the Redford Theater in Detroit and they
958
00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:00.400
showed it. Have you been to the Redford Theater? Oh god,
959
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:03.639
it's an old it's right at Lasser and Grand River
960
00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:07.079
and they show old movies, all kinds, different kinds of
961
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:11.360
movies and it's old fashioned theater. And they showed it.
962
00:47:11.400 --> 00:47:17.880
And then they had Uncle Rico, Napoleon and in uh
963
00:47:18.679 --> 00:47:21.920
In Pedro three were there and they came out and
964
00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:24.880
they did a Q and A and they did a
965
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:26.599
little dance and they sang and they did this like
966
00:47:26.719 --> 00:47:29.440
rap thing. So they showed the film. Then after all
967
00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:31.599
those three guys came up on stage and talked to everybody.
968
00:47:31.719 --> 00:47:32.199
Was awesome.
969
00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:33.360
That's awesome.
970
00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:35.239
Yeah, that's what they do it. They read. They have
971
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:38.440
like people come in and like from like they showed
972
00:47:38.440 --> 00:47:40.719
To Kill a Mockingbird and Scout, who is one of
973
00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:45.519
my favorite books. She came in. Yeah, yeah, that's right.

00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:11.280
he was the man I liked, and he was a
1001
00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:14.440
baseball coach. We always had a good baseball team.
1002
00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:17.119
And he was the varsity basketball coach for a million years.
1003
00:49:17.119 --> 00:49:18.440
Like when I was a kid. We used to go
1004
00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:21.679
when I was little and they had some good teams,
1005
00:49:21.679 --> 00:49:23.920
like when I was like second third grade, and we
1006
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:26.239
would go and watch him. So I was always like
1007
00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:28.280
kind of an aw of him, and then I had
1008
00:49:28.360 --> 00:49:30.360
him when I was a freshman and then okay, so
1009
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:34.480
then my freshman year, I had the baseball team went.
1010
00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:35.400
The final five.
1011
00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:39.320
Yeah, yeah, and I went and I followed my parents.
1012
00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:41.880
They took me. I followed like almost every one of
1013
00:49:41.920 --> 00:49:44.360
those games we went to because you'd have, like you
1014
00:49:44.679 --> 00:49:46.760
the whole district would be in like one or two days.
1015
00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:49.119
And then because you know, you can play multiple games,
1016
00:49:49.119 --> 00:49:51.920
not like basketball you just played one one game a day.
1017
00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:55.280
You could play two or three. So they made it
1018
00:49:55.320 --> 00:49:57.320
all they would. They just kept winning. They were awesome,
1019
00:49:57.320 --> 00:49:58.960
and they went all the way to the final four
1020
00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:01.519
and they loss was a very close game. They barely
1021
00:50:01.559 --> 00:50:03.000
lost to South Kate Anderson.
1022
00:50:03.239 --> 00:50:05.039
I remember they had a great team. Remember Mi Michae
1023
00:50:05.079 --> 00:50:07.920
Lorenz was was a starter as a freshman. I thought
1024
00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:08.719
that was pretty cool.
1025
00:50:09.119 --> 00:50:11.480
Yeah, b Jasmith was There was their picture with j
1026
00:50:12.360 --> 00:50:13.440
and Jason Brittain.
1027
00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:16.760
Who did did PJ go play some college somewhere?
1028
00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:18.840
I don't know. He was really he was kind of small,
1029
00:50:18.880 --> 00:50:21.800
but he was. He was like my I looked up
1030
00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:23.159
to him a lot because he's such a great athlete.
1031
00:50:23.239 --> 00:50:25.440
Was the quarterback on the on the you know, football
1032
00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:26.119
team and stuff.
1033
00:50:26.159 --> 00:50:29.239
But and then his brother Troy was right after us.
1034
00:50:29.280 --> 00:50:30.480
He was the quarterback.
1035
00:50:31.039 --> 00:50:32.519
He wasn't a quarterback, but he was.
1036
00:50:32.519 --> 00:50:35.199
Was He not the quarterback, Troy.
1037
00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:36.079
He was a receiver.
1038
00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:36.840
Receiver.
1039
00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:40.679
Yeah, so like yeah, and then you remember Brad Weedman,
1040
00:50:40.719 --> 00:50:44.920
he was a good player. Joel Dome. Joel Dome was
1041
00:50:44.960 --> 00:50:48.480
a quarterback. He was the catcher on those teams. So yeah,
1042
00:50:48.719 --> 00:50:50.719
that was a lot of fun. And then and then
1043
00:50:50.760 --> 00:50:52.480
that got me into playing baseball. So then I played
1044
00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:54.880
baseball on my sophomore year, which was the year after that,
1045
00:50:55.480 --> 00:50:57.719
I played JV baseball. As the one of the greatest
1046
00:50:57.719 --> 00:51:00.800
moments ever was when I made that team in mister
1047
00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:05.719
Crusoe's in mister Crusoe's classroom. Coincidentally enough, we're talking about this.
1048
00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:08.199
We're sitting there watching a video like we did tryouts.
1049
00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:10.559
And then at the end of the tryouts, Bill mccack
1050
00:51:10.599 --> 00:51:12.599
was our coach, is my all time favorite coach. He
1051
00:51:12.760 --> 00:51:15.800
hit us all watching a video and then he called
1052
00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:18.599
us in one by one into his office to tell
1053
00:51:18.599 --> 00:51:19.760
if as we've made the team or not, which I
1054
00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:22.400
think is a good way to do it. Yeah, where
1055
00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:26.199
other times for basketball they would just posted that all. Yeah,
1056
00:51:26.440 --> 00:51:28.960
so okay, I had to to this quick story that
1057
00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:32.679
I've told. So for basketball my freshman year, I am
1058
00:51:33.559 --> 00:51:35.519
go through all the tryouts a million kids are on
1059
00:51:35.599 --> 00:51:40.280
it or trying out, so I'm now's the day of
1060
00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:43.559
try of when they're gonna post it, so they I'm
1061
00:51:43.599 --> 00:51:45.199
so nerve. I've never been so nervous in my entire
1062
00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:47.400
life up until now. I've never been this nervous. So
1063
00:51:47.639 --> 00:51:50.000
I'm going in and I'm like, I don't want to
1064
00:51:50.039 --> 00:51:51.559
see anybody what I'm talking because it's kind of a
1065
00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:53.440
long walk from the parking lot. You gotta walk all
1066
00:51:53.480 --> 00:51:55.320
the way down past the gym and then you turn
1067
00:51:55.440 --> 00:51:57.159
right and you go down to the locker room. So
1068
00:51:57.199 --> 00:51:59.719
we're walking, I'm not trying to talk talk to anybody.
1069
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:01.880
Were walking by and stuff, and I don't anybody see me.
1070
00:52:01.920 --> 00:52:05.280
I remember remember Josh Pickle, Yeah, Josh Pickle was baker.
1071
00:52:05.320 --> 00:52:08.440
You didn't make it.
1072
00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:11.159
So now it's like, oh shit, is this true? Is
1073
00:52:11.159 --> 00:52:11.440
it not?
1074
00:52:11.519 --> 00:52:13.320
And now I'm like really dieing I go and he
1075
00:52:13.400 --> 00:52:16.360
was right, I didn't make it, so yeah that was
1076
00:52:16.679 --> 00:52:21.000
and that didn't make that because yeah, yeah yeah, and
1077
00:52:21.079 --> 00:52:25.199
somehow I don't know, but he So anyway, I didn't
1078
00:52:25.239 --> 00:52:27.360
make it my first cut my sophomore year, I made it.
1079
00:52:28.039 --> 00:52:29.199
I made the first cup, but I didn't make the
1080
00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:31.159
second cup, which was fine, because I don't I think
1081
00:52:31.199 --> 00:52:36.079
that was probably right, but I forget that.
1082
00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:39.920
So then baseball, you got pulled in the office and
1083
00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:41.920
had the individual conversations.
1084
00:52:41.280 --> 00:52:42.559
And then he just came in and said okay, so
1085
00:52:42.599 --> 00:52:44.840
and the way he did it was he had a list.
1086
00:52:45.119 --> 00:52:49.079
He had like ranked, like there's different like throwing ability,
1087
00:52:49.159 --> 00:52:52.159
hitting whatever, he had different attributes, and then he like
1088
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:55.000
ranked us all or gave us all a certain number
1089
00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:57.159
of points, and then at this at the end he
1090
00:52:57.239 --> 00:52:59.400
put like the total amount and then he just took
1091
00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:02.079
the top whatever and like there's a cut off, and
1092
00:53:02.119 --> 00:53:04.840
he had numbers or whatever. You couldn't see the other
1093
00:53:04.920 --> 00:53:07.880
kids who they were like yeah, So he would just
1094
00:53:07.880 --> 00:53:10.360
say you're number twelve, and you would look and see twelve,
1095
00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:12.039
and then you go over and see if you're above
1096
00:53:12.119 --> 00:53:14.599
or below the line. So out now I was above
1097
00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:15.400
the line. I couldn't believe.
1098
00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:16.039
It was a shit.
1099
00:53:16.639 --> 00:53:18.320
And I remember the other kids and then going back,
1100
00:53:18.360 --> 00:53:21.039
and I guess we left after that, but I remember
1101
00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:23.920
sitting there all nervous waiting for me to be called,
1102
00:53:23.920 --> 00:53:26.320
and other kids would come out and like be happy
1103
00:53:26.519 --> 00:53:29.480
or be sad. It was yeah, because they had to
1104
00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:31.519
come back and get their stuff before they left, so
1105
00:53:31.559 --> 00:53:33.199
we could see everybody who's gonna make it or not.
1106
00:53:33.239 --> 00:53:35.880
And I can tell you who who I remember specifically
1107
00:53:35.880 --> 00:53:37.599
if they were being pretty upset.
1108
00:53:38.320 --> 00:53:40.440
Yeah yeah, yeah, felt pretty bad.
1109
00:53:40.320 --> 00:53:41.079
For some of the kids.
1110
00:53:41.679 --> 00:53:43.480
So that's brutal.
1111
00:53:43.960 --> 00:53:45.840
Yeah, like that kind of stuff. But I think that
1112
00:53:45.960 --> 00:53:48.760
helps you in the long and going through that. Nothing
1113
00:53:48.800 --> 00:53:53.000
that helps me is being in band and in other
1114
00:53:53.039 --> 00:53:55.239
sports too, but for some reason being mad. Like when
1115
00:53:55.280 --> 00:53:56.639
I when I would be in job and it used
1116
00:53:56.639 --> 00:53:58.239
to be a teacher, I would think, well, shit, I
1117
00:53:58.320 --> 00:54:02.079
played at sports stadium. But you're just being nervous doing
1118
00:54:02.119 --> 00:54:05.079
stuff when you're nervous. That's what I think helped me
1119
00:54:05.639 --> 00:54:09.400
going through that in high school, like marching or running
1120
00:54:09.480 --> 00:54:12.679
in the race, or playing golf and playing baseball and track,
1121
00:54:12.800 --> 00:54:16.360
like doing stuff where you're nervous, like okay, the thing's
1122
00:54:16.360 --> 00:54:18.960
about to start and you're having those things. You still
1123
00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:21.519
perform even though you feel this way. Like that's the
1124
00:54:21.519 --> 00:54:23.199
stuff that I think really helps. And then I was
1125
00:54:23.199 --> 00:54:26.559
able to do it, and I was pretty successful getting jobs.
1126
00:54:26.960 --> 00:54:28.079
You know, I got most of the ones.
1127
00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:30.239
On man, that's the thing I think a lot of
1128
00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:34.079
times his parents like it sucks when your kid gets caught.
1129
00:54:34.159 --> 00:54:36.480
It sucks when you when you get caught as a kid.
1130
00:54:37.400 --> 00:54:39.079
As a parent, you want you know, you don't want
1131
00:54:39.079 --> 00:54:41.159
your kid to be broken hearted like that. When Jackson
1132
00:54:41.199 --> 00:54:43.639
got caught from the basketball team, I was like, oh man,
1133
00:54:43.679 --> 00:54:46.199
I felt so bad for him. But man, that stuff
1134
00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:50.079
it does, it does build that character you do. Like
1135
00:54:50.920 --> 00:54:53.880
all of those experiences create something for me. I didn't
1136
00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:55.800
try out for back I got caught seventh grade. I
1137
00:54:55.800 --> 00:54:58.119
didn't try out again, even though I loved playing basketball.
1138
00:54:58.239 --> 00:55:00.119
I was like, oh, just I'm not good enough. And
1139
00:55:00.119 --> 00:55:03.440
then I never tried out again for basketball. And so
1140
00:55:03.519 --> 00:55:06.920
when Jackson was like growing up and like, man, if
1141
00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:09.400
you love something, don't hold yourself back from it. They
1142
00:55:09.440 --> 00:55:11.199
worried about what other people are gonna think, or we're
1143
00:55:11.280 --> 00:55:13.280
thinking that you're not good enough. Like just go out
1144
00:55:13.280 --> 00:55:13.719
and do it.
1145
00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:16.960
Yeah, absolutely, that's that's a good message. Another one in
1146
00:55:17.039 --> 00:55:19.920
golf is kind of cool. So in golf, the way
1147
00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:22.440
they did it was you just played eighteen holes and
1148
00:55:22.440 --> 00:55:23.960
they just took your score. And then the next day
1149
00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:25.239
you come out and you play eighteen more holes and
1150
00:55:25.239 --> 00:55:27.480
they just took your score, and the best scores got it.
1151
00:55:27.960 --> 00:55:30.159
Somebody who's good had a bad game, they're not gonna
1152
00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:32.440
make it, which was really kind of ballsy on the
1153
00:55:32.480 --> 00:55:36.039
coaches part, hoping that these good players have good rounds
1154
00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:38.679
during tryouts. But that's the way he did it, so.
1155
00:55:39.039 --> 00:55:41.519
You know, kidding, the best guy has his worst round.
1156
00:55:42.480 --> 00:55:45.760
Yeah, so, but I remember it was two eighteen hole rounds,
1157
00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:48.239
I think, so after thirty six sols, it should probably
1158
00:55:48.239 --> 00:55:50.119
come out in the wash. But you know, there could
1159
00:55:50.119 --> 00:55:52.000
be times when you know, you're like Billy, if the
1160
00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:53.480
Strails is our best golfer and if you had a
1161
00:55:53.480 --> 00:55:58.280
bad round, and then we'd be in trouble. But anyway, done.
1162
00:55:58.400 --> 00:55:59.800
But what he did was okay. So they were taking
1163
00:56:00.199 --> 00:56:04.000
the top six guys, so he's ranks were all done,
1164
00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:07.559
and it's up by the the country club, by the clubhouse,
1165
00:56:07.599 --> 00:56:09.760
and he's looking at and he's like looking at all
1166
00:56:09.760 --> 00:56:12.559
the scores and he and I'm seventh and he's only
1167
00:56:12.599 --> 00:56:15.679
taken six. The fuck, I'm not gonna make him barely
1168
00:56:15.760 --> 00:56:17.440
miss And I see it. I can see that I'm
1169
00:56:17.480 --> 00:56:18.920
not gonna make the team. This is horrible. And he
1170
00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:21.880
looks at it and goes, we'll take seven, and he
1171
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:23.119
let me stay.
1172
00:56:23.920 --> 00:56:26.119
That was my I think that was my junior year.
1173
00:56:26.480 --> 00:56:29.320
And I said, thanks coach. So then later the kids
1174
00:56:29.360 --> 00:56:33.320
make fun of me. Yeah, thanks coach, Like that was
1175
00:56:33.360 --> 00:56:38.280
like my tagline. I was so glad. I remember going
1176
00:56:38.280 --> 00:56:42.159
home to my dad and telling him, and he goes,
1177
00:56:42.199 --> 00:56:45.639
oh my god, I'm saying I had a bad feeling
1178
00:56:45.719 --> 00:56:48.199
all day about this about the tryout. You didn't think
1179
00:56:48.199 --> 00:56:50.119
I was gonna like he had a bad feeling for
1180
00:56:50.440 --> 00:56:53.159
some whatever reason, Like, no, I made it so cool.
1181
00:56:53.360 --> 00:56:57.239
That's so cool. Yeah, but you talk about pressure of
1182
00:56:57.599 --> 00:56:58.800
man pressure.
1183
00:56:59.039 --> 00:57:01.679
I remember, yeah, in eighteen toll and hitting a shot.
1184
00:57:01.760 --> 00:57:03.199
I don't know if it was that particular time, but
1185
00:57:04.039 --> 00:57:06.599
the eighteen all the Country Club dog like left part
1186
00:57:06.639 --> 00:57:09.199
four hitting a shot and being so nervous and having
1187
00:57:09.400 --> 00:57:11.280
hit a good shot, and you know a lot of
1188
00:57:11.280 --> 00:57:13.800
times you do so because you've done it. I just
1189
00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:17.320
always told myself, I've done this ten thousand times. Just
1190
00:57:17.920 --> 00:57:18.599
do your thing, you know.
1191
00:57:18.800 --> 00:57:22.920
Yeah. So, I mean you crew, you grew up playing golf. Yeah,
1192
00:57:22.960 --> 00:57:24.199
how old are you start golfing?
1193
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:27.440
Like ten or eleven? Okay, yeah it was this was
1194
00:57:27.480 --> 00:57:29.280
my dad. My dad played golf in night school. They
1195
00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:32.159
won the conference championship. It was in nice school. Too,
1196
00:57:32.199 --> 00:57:34.320
so he would always pull me out and I love it.
1197
00:57:34.639 --> 00:57:36.280
I love it. I probably love it more now than
1198
00:57:36.320 --> 00:57:37.760
I ever have. Ah.
1199
00:57:38.360 --> 00:57:44.400
Yeah, I didn't play until a fro I was well,
1200
00:57:44.440 --> 00:57:48.159
I was twenty nine, okay, twenty nine or thirty. It
1201
00:57:48.239 --> 00:57:50.800
was like I had to do it for business networking.
1202
00:57:50.960 --> 00:57:52.400
Yeah, that's what a lot of people get into it
1203
00:57:52.400 --> 00:57:54.440
with fo him absolutely, And.
1204
00:57:56.119 --> 00:57:57.639
Then I was like, oh I like this. I like
1205
00:57:57.760 --> 00:58:00.000
doing the business networking bang. And then I would show
1206
00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:02.480
up every time and have to apologize to people like, ah,
1207
00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:06.159
you know I suck. I'm like, I don't, I apologize
1208
00:58:06.159 --> 00:58:08.360
for being here. And then my competitiveness was like I
1209
00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:10.440
can't keep showing up and have to apologize for how
1210
00:58:10.480 --> 00:58:14.559
bad I suck. So I just I'll keep playing and uh,
1211
00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:20.480
you know I still suck. But that's golf, right No, yeah, no, yeah,
1212
00:58:20.639 --> 00:58:24.239
much much better, to the point where it's an addiction,
1213
00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:27.400
Like it's one of those things like I really enjoy playing.
1214
00:58:27.519 --> 00:58:29.000
If I'm in the middle of my day and somebody
1215
00:58:29.039 --> 00:58:31.599
says you want to golf, I will contemplate how I
1216
00:58:31.599 --> 00:58:33.000
can get out of the rest of my appointments.
1217
00:58:33.119 --> 00:58:37.039
You know, good for you. It's it's all I love it,
1218
00:58:37.119 --> 00:58:39.000
and I like blame. I don't know. Favorite is I
1219
00:58:39.079 --> 00:58:41.239
Sometimes I go by myself and play. It's just sometimes
1220
00:58:41.239 --> 00:58:44.519
it's hard to like gather people. And yeah, I was
1221
00:58:44.519 --> 00:58:46.639
proud of myself. The last spring, I got my next
1222
00:58:46.639 --> 00:58:48.280
door neighbors city golf. I said hey, And I don't
1223
00:58:48.280 --> 00:58:49.480
really know him at all, but I was just like
1224
00:58:49.559 --> 00:58:51.000
I texted him. I said he want to go play
1225
00:58:51.679 --> 00:58:55.440
golf tomorrow or whatever. And I was like, what's he
1226
00:58:55.519 --> 00:58:58.639
gonna say? And he's he's like, yeah, yeah, let's go.
1227
00:58:58.800 --> 00:59:00.840
And I said, Oka, I gotta teach time, blah blah blah.
1228
00:59:00.840 --> 00:59:03.519
So I'll never get The next morning, i'm getting up
1229
00:59:03.559 --> 00:59:05.719
going to my car, he's already out of his truck,
1230
00:59:05.960 --> 00:59:08.320
like he's got his bag out, he's ready to go,
1231
00:59:08.480 --> 00:59:10.440
like way before we're supposed to be leaving. He was
1232
00:59:10.440 --> 00:59:12.079
all excited about it because he has two kids and
1233
00:59:12.079 --> 00:59:13.239
he just wants to get the hell out of there.
1234
00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:17.079
Oh yeah, a little bit. He's like, we don't need
1235
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:18.880
to go early. You want to get breakfast first?
1236
00:59:21.039 --> 00:59:23.719
Kind of that's it. Yeah. So we had a good
1237
00:59:23.760 --> 00:59:26.599
time playing out in Weberville. Ever played Webervi.
1238
00:59:26.360 --> 00:59:31.519
Before the Oak Lane? Yeah? Yeah, that we just stumbled
1239
00:59:31.519 --> 00:59:33.639
down on this course this year and we played a
1240
00:59:33.679 --> 00:59:38.360
whole lot because it's super cheap, super cheap twilight there.
1241
00:59:38.519 --> 00:59:42.280
You can pull up at like six forty five Oak
1242
00:59:42.360 --> 00:59:44.760
Lane and it's like fifteen bucks though for as many
1243
00:59:44.760 --> 00:59:46.280
of you get in. Yeah.
1244
00:59:45.800 --> 00:59:49.000
Yeah, we were in the league out there for a
1245
00:59:49.039 --> 00:59:50.800
lot of years. Then the league closed down and then
1246
00:59:50.800 --> 00:59:54.360
we moved over to Williamston. So we're playing over at
1247
00:59:54.840 --> 00:59:58.000
one of the Williamston courses Berkshire.
1248
00:59:58.320 --> 01:00:01.760
Yeah, so we were playing Oaklane last year and it
1249
01:00:01.840 --> 01:00:03.519
was oh this it was just it was this year
1250
01:00:03.679 --> 01:00:06.559
during the fall. It was the first football game. So
1251
01:00:06.559 --> 01:00:09.480
it's August of that first football game for Weberfield High School.
1252
01:00:09.760 --> 01:00:12.400
First off, you drive by the football field on your
1253
01:00:12.400 --> 01:00:14.800
way to the golf course, like it's like you poke us.
1254
01:00:14.800 --> 01:00:16.199
It was. We're driving by and you can see the
1255
01:00:16.360 --> 01:00:19.119
it's Friday night lights football. You play the football game
1256
01:00:19.400 --> 01:00:22.119
and like we're getting down into the hole and like
1257
01:00:22.360 --> 01:00:25.199
their speaker system is booming, like they're partly they're playing music.
1258
01:00:25.199 --> 01:00:27.119
They're probably like, man, this is a football like like
1259
01:00:27.480 --> 01:00:29.679
you can hear it through the whole entire golf course
1260
01:00:29.679 --> 01:00:32.480
and then booming their music and they're like we drove
1261
01:00:32.519 --> 01:00:34.719
by and they were losing like forty eight to nothing.
1262
01:00:35.119 --> 01:00:39.159
And then Weberville ended up forfeiting their season. They literally
1263
01:00:39.239 --> 01:00:41.440
like quit their season because they suck so bad.
1264
01:00:41.760 --> 01:00:42.719
I think I heard about this.
1265
01:00:42.840 --> 01:00:45.239
They just like gave up, like all their players quit
1266
01:00:45.559 --> 01:00:47.239
and they had to forfeit like the last three or
1267
01:00:47.239 --> 01:00:47.599
four games.
1268
01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:50.480
When you're in a tiny school like that, that can happen. Now,
1269
01:00:50.559 --> 01:00:52.519
I wonder if they're playing eight man or eleven man.
1270
01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:54.840
Eight Okay, there's.
1271
01:00:54.679 --> 01:00:57.440
Not a lot of eight Morris as eight man. There's
1272
01:00:57.440 --> 01:00:59.440
not a whole lot of eight man football around here,
1273
01:00:59.519 --> 01:01:02.400
but there's some like up in the up. It's mostly man.
1274
01:01:02.760 --> 01:01:03.719
Yeah.
1275
01:01:03.480 --> 01:01:06.320
Yeah, like my buddy, my old Boston why his son
1276
01:01:06.920 --> 01:01:09.320
is a good football players or junior this year for
1277
01:01:09.440 --> 01:01:11.119
Brimley and Night. So I kind of kick kept an
1278
01:01:11.119 --> 01:01:17.480
eye on that. So yeah, it's uh Weberville. Shout out
1279
01:01:17.519 --> 01:01:21.519
to the Spartans at the guy in my golf league
1280
01:01:21.559 --> 01:01:24.440
was that was the fifth grade teacher at Weberville. I
1281
01:01:24.440 --> 01:01:25.880
think they only had one. They might have had two,
1282
01:01:26.199 --> 01:01:29.599
two for every grade. So but then he moved down
1283
01:01:29.639 --> 01:01:32.800
to Florida. But yeah, he would come over and talk
1284
01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:34.400
to him all the time because I was teaching kindergarten
1285
01:01:34.400 --> 01:01:38.280
at the time, and he that was his never gets name,
1286
01:01:38.280 --> 01:01:40.599
but he would come over and talk to me about
1287
01:01:41.320 --> 01:01:44.440
fifth when it was during COVID was like, how many
1288
01:01:44.519 --> 01:01:47.360
days a week are going into school? That's right, And
1289
01:01:47.400 --> 01:01:49.199
so he would stop and pull his golf carde over
1290
01:01:49.239 --> 01:01:51.320
over playing and be like, hey, what's going on? How
1291
01:01:51.360 --> 01:01:52.599
many days week you go to work? And all that
1292
01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:54.800
kind of stuff. So it's fun.
1293
01:01:56.199 --> 01:02:00.360
This is fun. There you have any closing want to
1294
01:02:00.360 --> 01:02:00.960
finish off with?
1295
01:02:01.599 --> 01:02:08.880
Yes, let's see, here were some good ones. Hmmm, I
1296
01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:19.119
hit most of my good ones. But soon Oh, how
1297
01:02:19.159 --> 01:02:24.039
about this when players in college touched down like they
1298
01:02:24.159 --> 01:02:26.079
touched a player who caught the ball, like he catches
1299
01:02:26.159 --> 01:02:29.000
on his knees. Everybody know he's down, but they touch
1300
01:02:29.079 --> 01:02:34.159
him anyway, you know the rule or when the quarterback,
1301
01:02:34.280 --> 01:02:37.199
you know, Matthew Stafford will kind of do underhanders Mahomes
1302
01:02:37.280 --> 01:02:39.480
does that where they're kind of scrambling and there's people
1303
01:02:39.480 --> 01:02:41.760
all over and they do like an underhand pass, ye,
1304
01:02:42.079 --> 01:02:44.159
and then it's incomplete and then somebody runs over and
1305
01:02:44.159 --> 01:02:47.599
picks it up and starts running the start Every time, dude,
1306
01:02:47.599 --> 01:02:50.519
it doesn't matter how you throw it, it's forward, it's
1307
01:02:50.639 --> 01:02:52.639
it's an incomplete pass, no matter what you do.
1308
01:02:52.800 --> 01:02:55.079
I always wonder why the players are so confused. You've
1309
01:02:55.079 --> 01:02:57.039
played this game your whole career. Why are you picking
1310
01:02:57.119 --> 01:02:58.920
up the ball? You know that's not a live ball.
1311
01:03:01.679 --> 01:03:05.079
Yeah, so that's one of mine. So it's funny because
1312
01:03:05.079 --> 01:03:06.679
I have some stuff that the fans do. Some of
1313
01:03:06.679 --> 01:03:08.559
the practice do some stuff that the players do. Most
1314
01:03:08.559 --> 01:03:10.039
of its broadcasters.
1315
01:03:09.480 --> 01:03:13.360
Though, Yeah, broadcasters. It's brutal because I wanted to be
1316
01:03:13.440 --> 01:03:17.360
a broadcaster forever, and even like a journalist, like and
1317
01:03:17.440 --> 01:03:20.199
you look at the way a lot of it is,
1318
01:03:20.239 --> 01:03:22.239
it's just like a it's corporate. It's fake.
1319
01:03:22.880 --> 01:03:25.239
Yeah, we've we've touched on that today.
1320
01:03:25.960 --> 01:03:29.960
Corporate. Yeah.
1321
01:03:30.159 --> 01:03:33.639
So yeah, I think I have most of mine. I'm
1322
01:03:33.639 --> 01:03:35.239
like going through it. I'm like, we're talking about that. Oh,
1323
01:03:35.280 --> 01:03:35.880
here's a good one.
1324
01:03:35.960 --> 01:03:36.199
Okay.
1325
01:03:36.239 --> 01:03:39.199
So Michigan State basketball. The bro the play by play
1326
01:03:39.239 --> 01:03:41.639
guy's name is Will Teman. Yep, he's been doing it forever.
1327
01:03:41.639 --> 01:03:44.760
His old game guy. He Will used to say, and
1328
01:03:45.639 --> 01:03:47.880
somebody in the radio did it perfect? Is so funny,
1329
01:03:48.119 --> 01:03:52.039
but imitated him and he would do roughly when he
1330
01:03:52.039 --> 01:03:53.360
would say the score, he would go like this. He
1331
01:03:53.400 --> 01:04:01.199
would say Michigan State forty two, Michigan forty. So then
1332
01:04:01.400 --> 01:04:04.320
it's hard to like figure out what because he would
1333
01:04:04.320 --> 01:04:07.320
do the pauses, not where you should do the pauses.
1334
01:04:08.039 --> 01:04:11.239
Do the pause is weird? So he would say like whatever,
1335
01:04:11.280 --> 01:04:13.480
I just did it. So it was just that would
1336
01:04:13.559 --> 01:04:16.760
be one annoying will Teaman thing well.
1337
01:04:16.599 --> 01:04:19.840
And well ended on a positive. Is Dan Miller that
1338
01:04:19.880 --> 01:04:25.559
guy's I love man? We like we were for Grasy's birthday,
1339
01:04:25.559 --> 01:04:28.119
were coming back from Traverse City and listening to the
1340
01:04:28.199 --> 01:04:30.039
We listened to the whole entire Lions game, and it
1341
01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:31.920
was like I would almost rather listen to the Lions
1342
01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:34.519
game on the radio. It's good, Like he is so good.
1343
01:04:34.559 --> 01:04:37.199
Do you watch on YouTube where they do the highlight
1344
01:04:37.599 --> 01:04:39.400
video they get out of him? And then the guy
1345
01:04:39.480 --> 01:04:40.639
with the post it notes is in the.
1346
01:04:40.599 --> 01:04:44.000
Fork guy a whole special.
1347
01:04:44.840 --> 01:04:47.119
Sometimes I feel bad for him because Dan will like
1348
01:04:47.159 --> 01:04:49.599
ignore him. He's like holding up so what says and
1349
01:04:49.760 --> 01:04:51.920
Dan is just like talking to other people and doesn't
1350
01:04:51.920 --> 01:04:55.920
even acknowledge the post to guy. And then I think,
1351
01:04:56.679 --> 01:04:58.599
could there be a better way to do it other
1352
01:04:58.639 --> 01:05:01.719
than the post? It's wasting all those posting notes like
1353
01:05:01.760 --> 01:05:04.079
a whiteboard. Can we get him a white board?
1354
01:05:04.559 --> 01:05:06.920
You'd blow this guy's mind. He'd be so mad, like, no,
1355
01:05:07.039 --> 01:05:11.760
this is the way we do it. This process. Just
1356
01:05:11.800 --> 01:05:13.920
someone's gonna make his make him make it more efficient,
1357
01:05:13.920 --> 01:05:15.079
throw and he's gonna be out of a job.
1358
01:05:15.440 --> 01:05:18.840
I saw like a documentary but just a little peace
1359
01:05:19.000 --> 01:05:20.519
on him before.
1360
01:05:20.519 --> 01:05:22.960
They just recently didn't want like they did a highlight.
1361
01:05:22.639 --> 01:05:24.360
On him, which is kind of cute.
1362
01:05:24.400 --> 01:05:31.679
It's funny the post guy and Lomas's good to dude.
1363
01:05:31.719 --> 01:05:33.920
Lomis guy has got that buttery voice, you know, like
1364
01:05:33.960 --> 01:05:34.360
you've got.
1365
01:05:35.559 --> 01:05:37.840
He's like a Southern He's from Florida, so he's a
1366
01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:41.679
slow yeah kind of way that he talks. But it's
1367
01:05:41.800 --> 01:05:43.159
very He's good.
1368
01:05:43.119 --> 01:05:46.199
That that team is great for sure. We've talked about this.
1369
01:05:46.239 --> 01:05:49.400
I'm a fan of Benetti to you, and I'm a
1370
01:05:49.440 --> 01:05:52.000
fan of his nerdiness and like how he like he
1371
01:05:52.880 --> 01:05:55.480
really gets into the into the weeds sometimes and I
1372
01:05:55.559 --> 01:05:57.079
like that. I know a lot of that. There's some people,
1373
01:05:57.159 --> 01:05:58.920
like the old school guys, like we were talking about that,
1374
01:05:59.119 --> 01:05:59.840
they don't like that.
1375
01:06:00.960 --> 01:06:04.519
Yeah, that turns some people off. Everybody's going to every
1376
01:06:04.719 --> 01:06:10.159
single every single broadcaster will have their fans, and you just.
1377
01:06:09.639 --> 01:06:11.679
Just again, I look for the things that are outside
1378
01:06:11.679 --> 01:06:13.480
of the box, and I'm sure he does some of
1379
01:06:13.519 --> 01:06:16.039
the things that we've listed that bug us, but he
1380
01:06:16.119 --> 01:06:20.840
mostly stays outside and does his own stuff, you know,
1381
01:06:21.119 --> 01:06:27.480
so has some originality. This killer, This is a good one.
