Ep 44- NFL safety protocols breakdown, why the Mahomes deal makes sense for both sides, and Dean’s top 5 man crushes.

the holiday weekends people were out and about. You know, I'm sure you guys all saw that video. Where was that Michigan? Was there like a party in in somewhere some lake, um, Traverse City or something like that. I don't want to get it wrong and offend anyone, but it's you know, it feels like a lot of younger people are not taking this too seriously and that's and that's causing complications. Um, where are we at? Where's everybody in COVID right now? Travis? Where are you? I'm at home, man,

I'm sitting in my No. No, it's it's it was more of a metaphorical are not physically we're a click well you know where. Yeah, I'm okay. You know, it's it's starting to wear on me a bit, but I'm getting by. You know, you were testy today. You got the hat on backwards, you were firing away on text messages. No one was safe. We got on before we're starting

to record, and you were just just throwing dark. I dropped a song lyric when you guys were talking about the Oxford comment common I think it's a Vampire weekend. You guys familiar with that song Vampire? The song is that the band that's the best band? Yeah, so clearly Dan is not a playlist. I'll check it out though, I'm always up for new music. I might like it. But yeah, Travis was was firing away, um fired up.

But again, yeah, it's where where what Scott? What are you're kind of the I feel like your go to and where where are we right now? What should we be doing right like as a society? Yes, I mean we need to go back to social distancing of you know, the middle of May. I mean I don't even I don't even want to get started because it just at this point, you know, most of the United States is just kind of given up or they you know, for reasons. There's a lot of reasons. But you know, we like sports.

And I think I forgot who was speaking. It was a baseball player. Just see the day. It's like sports are reward for a engining society. So we should be trying to you know, sort of prevent this because I would love to have a football season this yearning. Well, what you know, you watch, you watch what's happening in Europe and and and elsewhere where they're playing sports. There

doesn't seem to be. Yeah, there's positive tests, and but there doesn't seem to be whether it's you know, European soccer leagues or um, you know, other other sports rugby, Australians football, they seem to be doing okay. And is that a result of the social distancing and the precautions that they took? UM And I know, right we were behind um, Europe and we were behind Asia and are we just you know, do we need to just catch up? And how are we going to catch up if we

keep you know, opening up before we're really supposed to. Um. Well, you know, I'm not a health expert, but but you're the only year the closest one we have on this show. Okay, so now we'll step up and start giving us some health advice. I mean, I'll just say if whether you boot, you can believe whatever you want to believe on how serious this is. Uh. But you know, according to the numbers,

there's been about a hundred and thirty thousand deaths. Even if you think that's wildly inflated, you cut that in half, it's sixty five thousand deaths. Uh. And then you look at a country like South Korea or something, they have under three hundred deaths. So it's like, I get it, they're smaller, it's a different country, different stuff. But it's like we're doing something wrong. And that's mostly just we

did the right thing where we killed the curve early on. Uh. But the point would be we're supposed to be testing more and more and then we're supposed to be uh like slowly going back to quote unquote normal. But basically we wasted like sixty days and then everyone, like a portion of people, and rightfully so because people need to make money, they need to survive, they're like I gotta

go back. So um, uh, it would be good if you could, like you know, other countries are doing support for workers and stuff, so maybe they we can see this unemployment thing extended. Things like that. But it's a little scary just because you know basic and I'm sure we're gonna talk about it. But baseball is trying to get going, and uh, a lot of it seems like

it keeps running into those jumps into that. Right, let's jump into sports returning and we can start with baseball, since you know, baseball is on the cusp of returning. And I believe of the three sports, you know, take football out of it. The three sports, the hockey, basketball,

and baseball, baseball schedule to start the earliest, UM. But you keep, you know, you keep seeing pause the test tests from over the weekend that I know, the Giants San Francisco, you know, I had to close down their facilities. It's it's just, you know, are you gonna study the Astros? Also, yeah, you're gonna start a season and two weeks later have to shut it down. I don't think that's you know, I think that's worse than than waiting and delaying UM.

And I think that's that's part of the just the the issue what we're dealing with. And again, this is you know, we haven't dealt with anything like this. We you know, we've got to try to and we all want sports. But I think you're right, you know that sports are reward for a functioning society, and maybe we're not functioning um right now the way we're supposed to, and and maybe we're not supposed to have sports yet

until we get the self figured out. I feel like there's the issue of of every state's kind of doing things differently, Like if everything in any entire United States was doing the same thing, like that might be more beneficial for our country. I like other countries maybe doing that a little bit better than ours. But we are right, that's the whole, the whole premise, the whole foundation of

this country is the fifty United States. So you know, there's state laws and things like that that that don't necessarily that aren't aren't under the supervision of the federal laws, and uh, and that's part of it. And then that's why you see. I think California, I feel like it's

done a really good job. I don't think they've opened up you know, yeah, we started open up some things, but I think it's been a step approach and and whereas in other places it seemed like, Okay, we're gonna we're gonna turn the key all in one day and and and open everything back up, and then we have to shut shut back down. I don't know, I was

just wondering, you know. I know we've talked about this a little, but with the nfl s plans so far, obviously it's still a few months away, but it sounds like they're going to probably leave it up to the states to decide, uh song, like the state regulations, like there will be crowds. Yeah, yeah, And I and I look, you know, and as we you know, let's talk about the NFL, and when we we've been saying this right for a long time off you know, the NFL still

got months still months away. Guess what it's it's now less than two months right before we would be getting gearing up for the first weekend of NFL football, three weeks to training camps, you know. So so it's here and this is why this is being all ramped up. And as I talked to you know, I talked to a lot of people I know around the league, and this would be the coaches, everyone would be on vacation

right now. Everyone would they have all the schedules would be done weeks ago, everything training camp, travel, when the players are going to return, everything through the preseason would be done. That that teams are very structured and and and their habit you know they're there or creatures of habit and everything is right. None of that is really has been has been finalized. And so that's why you know the league sent out I have it in front

of me and I was combing through it. This this forty page document um in terms of protocols, and it's it's you know, it's too much to go through right now, but just like as I'm looking at it now, just some highlights. Right. So it's the NFL and the NFL Players Association, you know, both through their through their infectious disease experts are going to develop. They're gonna develop material

that club medical staffs can use to educate everybody. So everybody at a club level has to be educated on things like symptoms and what do you do if you have symptoms? How do you prevent infections? Um? You know all the social distancing guidelines things like that. You know protective equipment, UM, you know, healthy habits, preventative measures all of that. There's gonna be this extensive educational, um, you know, uh kind of process. And then and then it gets

into kind of what the breakdown of club personnel. And they've they've done it into tiers, right, and so there's facility access and facility accesses is going to be restricted during training camp to a limited number of essential personnel and based on the job, you're gonna be put into

a tier, right. And restricted areas are basically you know, the practice and the stadium, playing fields, the sidelines, the locker rooms, the training rooms, the medical exam rooms, the player meal and meeting rooms, player lounge areas, and weight rooms. That's a restricted area. And you you if you're in Tier one, which is going to consist of players and essential football personnel who need direct access to players for more than ten minutes at a time, you have access

to that restricted area, right. Everybody else it's gonna be limited. Right. So so when you talk about Tier one, right, those are players, those are coaches, those are athletic trainers, positions, strength and conditioning coaches, and equipments. Right, they will have access to restricted areas on a n asmeda basis. Tier two, right, which are non playing personnel who do have to have some contact with with players and coaches, but don't have

to have it at extensively. Right, They're not gonna have access to those restricted areas. Um, and it's going to be limited. And that's like the facility staff, which is like cafeterian food service people. UM, it's gonna be people

like ownership general managers, football operations staff. And there's gonna be limits to the number of people you can have in each tier Tier one sixty people on a daily basis, Tier to forty people on a daily basis, and then there's even lower tiers like tier Tier two M which are media people, and Tier three which are essential facility of the workers, but they don't have to have access

to the players and the Tier one people. So it's crazy to think you have to go through all of this tear these people up, because before training camp starts, each team is going to have to submit who is in each group and then and then kind of then you get into the cleaning, the disinfecting, everything that has to be wiped down all of the limited these guys are gonna be working out in in in weight rooms, limited to ten or fifteen people, small groups. There's no fans,

no visitors to training camp at any time. Um. You know, teams can hold club fan events at their stadium, they have a limited too, but you no fans, no visitors are gonna be allowed of training camp. Um. So there's so much that goes into this, and like Travis said, we're three weeks from the start of training camp and then it doesn't need and then this document gets into travel protocols. Okay, when they go on the road, what

do they have to do? You know, all of this it's it's it's it's very extensive, and these are the things that teams are gonna have to gonna have to go through. And then write somebody tests positive, where somebody comes down with symptoms, they're gonna have to be quarantined. Then they're gonna have to be retested. People that had close contact with them are gonna have to be tested. It's a lot of stuff. It's going to be a massive, massive undertaking to start to see. And that's the reality

of what where we are in the world today. My favorite saying, and we're seeing some of the breakdowns and that with some of the baseball players who who have gone back to work and started training again, and how they're upset with you know, they get tested on Friday and the results had and come through, and now people are starting to test and then facilities are closing because

the positive tests you know, you know, on Monday. So so I think, you know, people are fed up with it, and they're not they're not being you know, it's it's not being handled the way that it was it was promised to them in their agreement. And I think it's unreasonable to expect, No, we haven't dealt with this in our lifetime. This is this is new. It's unreasonable to think that this is gonna this is gonna go flawlessly, or hey, this is not this is not gonna happen

that way. There's gonna be bumps, there's gonna be and what what we just hope and pray doesn't happen. Obviously, the health and safety of the people involved. That's that's the key. You don't want to have any any any catastrophes like that. But you don't want is just it's just a rash of positive tests and then they just shut it down and and now we're back to you know, no sports um, and we're kind of trying to figure out, Okay, what's gonna can we even get one season? And I

don't I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, go ahead, Scott, Oh, yeah, I was I just saw something over the weekend too, though, that the athletics and the Nationals speaking baseball were are upset because there was like, uh, I think delaysed with testing and you're writing it is complicated, but that I think there's a concern that you know, the MLB was kind of saying too, it's like, what was the holiday weekend and like, you know, they were fed x in

tests and if they didn't take that into consideration that it's a holiday weekend. Yeah, but it'll be interesting because you know, testing right now across the country, they're running into supply issues like do we have enough supplied tests? And you know, for some of the sports things you hear they want to test a couple of times a week and if it's a football team, we're talking with

all the operational people. Man, it's been the minimum. You know, that's like a couple of hundred people a couple of times a week, you know, four yeah, times, thirty two times, you know, twenty five thirty weeks. It's it's a lot, you know. And uh, and that's on top of you know, all the people in in any given state who are trying to get tested and things like that. So there's a lot of logistics that every leaguest to figure out

right now. Yeah, and I know, the one thing I'm hearing on the college football side, and look, this is even I think we're gonna see, we're gonna see different conferences doing different things. Um, I think you might see some of the bigger conferences shortening their seasons. Maybe they don't play out of conference games, maybe they just play their conference schedules, they start the conference schedule earlier and

they end earlier. Because I think because I think there's a you know, obviously there's gonna be on at least the college side, the unknown of hey do we you know, let's get done before it starts to get cold across the country because that brings on a whole another right flu season and everything else. You know, the weather gets colder, people start to get sick more, and who knows how this thing is gonna morph. Um, So I think, you know,

I think we need to be prepared for that. And you know, the IVY League already announced potential that that they may uh, you know, they may push football, including you know, off fall sports, including football to the spring. Who knows what's gonna happen there on the college side. And I think we just have to um again, it's it's coming quickly though. This is you know, this is

gonna be. College football starts right Labor Day weekend, even the week before, there's games that week zero and uh, and this is gonna be It's gonna be interesting to see how this all plays out. Let's uh, let's talk a little bit. Let's talk the other big NFL news. And obviously this has been kind of piggybacking on on what's what's been happening obviously around the country in terms of the social justice But the Washington right, this is,

this is a franchise. The name UM has been has been basically the connotation is that it's an it's a Native American slur. Many people who were offended by this name. It's been the name since what the Washington has been

around since n twenties. UM. And I think finally with all of the real push that what's happening in the country after George Floyd, I think the renewed um conversation and ultimately came down to FedEx and other sponsors saying they're gonna you know, they're they're pushing for the name change and uh and the team announced that they're going to review the name. And I think this is gonna

lead to a name change. And I think it could lead to a name change before the start of if we have one, um and, I think there's gonna be some people that that sit there and say, well, what took you so long? UM? I think, yeah, I get it, but at least it's it's changing. And that's how I look at it, that yes, you can you can really rise at the reasoning, you can really rise at what took so long. You can do all those things. But the bottom line is is if it changes um And Look,

and you guys know me, I'm not one. I don't get offended very often. But I just think that that is so and and and not dealt with it at the league office and dealt with you know, I had a referee, to his credit, you know, he didn't want to work Washington games, and and and and we honored that request because you know, because of the name, and you know, but it's if it changes then regardless of the reasons. I think that's a good thing and we

can kind of move forward. But it's gonna be interesting to see what are they going to change with if they do change to the nickname, are they going to change the Braves? And I think you know that, I think the Braves have already said and I think there's a different braves chiefs. I think I think we can all look at those names and say that's different than what was happening in Washington. You know, it just did.

And and when you're when you're highlight whether it's the seminoles, whether you're highlighting Native American you know, history, culture, whatever, I think that's good. I think that's important. The first, you know, when I got interested in Native American history was like I think I told you guys, that played my first little league baseball team when I was whatever

seven years old. Um, the whole league was Native American names and I played for the Apaches, and I was interested in and I wanted to read up about it. And that's been something that I've done, you know, since that point. So I don't think Braves, you know, I think the one team that that could change is Cleveland. I think the you know, the Indians. I think that you know, they've changed their mascot, their logo that things

like that. But I think that could be uh a name that that I think they have to review um and again and this isn't you guys know and not don't think any of us are our ultra PC but it is. Then the Washington name is. You can't sit there and talk about social justice and equality and have

that be one of your thirty two franchises. I just like, and they happened to be in the nation's capital and yeah it's it's and yeah, there's that picture, isn't there a This might be either from a Cleveland Indians game, but there's like a guy where there is a Native American man outside the stadium and then there's like a white guy in like crazy paint and he's like with like that, he's like, hey, this is cool and it is and it's like and you talk about right is it?

You can't sit there and say that's not a you know, I'm not Native American. I don't know what you know, how you know, most people Native Americans would feel about that. But you've got to think that there's an element of that that would be similar to black face, right like like that's that's that's how I would look at it, that that that you're this is my culture, this is my my history and all those things, And I don't see that as a tribute, right and I wouldn't see

it as a just that's how that's all. I well, I think, um, you know, you brought up like with Florida's state, they the college there one instance where they've worked with local like seminole tribes and gotten official approval, uh whereas and then the other thing I guess is just you know, back to teams in college for decades have been switching from some sort of Indian related names something else, and there's always pushback, but after a few years, it just is what it is and it will be

part of this team's history. It's not gonna go away. If you look up the history of the teams super Bowl winning teams, it won't be like what happened, there's nothing there, so you know, just moving forward, I think whatever, you know, they're gonna probably switch a name this season, I would imagine, but um, I think moving forward, you'll see, you know, put fact. But things move on and things change.

I think the thing about it is people will call them, you know, hypocrites because they said they weren't going to change or do anything about it. But I think, I think this is how I would feel, and this is how they should feel too, is you know, you'd rather be a hypocrite and stay the same forever then And and that to me is just maybe it wrong and say we're changing it. Let's let's move on and make it, you know, make it a a quick swift change and

you move on and you forget about it. But that and that's my thing, Like I can't I don't like when people If somebody is willing to listen and change, then don't break them over the coals. Just they're willing to sit and listen and change, they're gonna change, they don't sit there and break them over the coals. But you know, yes, I can't control what happened in the past, right I can learn from it and and move on.

But you know, and that's people want to be you know, a lot of people want to play you know, they want to be offended. They want to you know, play a victim role and and this. You know, we all at some at some point or another, I felt sorry for ourselves and and and fallen into that place. But you know someone's willing to listen and change, and let's support them, make the change and move on and not make it a negative thing. Um. And because the thing is,

we've got a long way to go. And you saw, I mean I was reading today right to Sean Jackson his comments right this, this is you know, we've got to educate all. We all have to continue to educate ourselves on on what it means, what what hate speeches?

What you know, what how much our words matter? And and and I know Sean is um you know, come out and apologize and things like that, and making you know, when you when you reference Hitler, when you reference things like that, Um, that's it's hard to sit there and say it's not anti semitic. I mean, it's just that's and and again, and continue to educate ourselves. And nobody's perfect. We all make mistakes, and we all say dumb things.

And social media is we were talking about it, right, I've told these guys like it is you can I mean I can ruin my career right now with this thing I have in my hand. I can go on Twitter, and I can and I can ruin my career and ruin my life by by saying the wrong thing or saying something stupid and uh, and that's a big, big responsibility everybody, anybody with a public you know, with the public platform, has to be mindful that their words matter.

And I think that's part of the reason why the guy in the White House right now shouldn't be in the White House, because because words are important and things that we we we say, especially when we have a platform and we have a following, um and uh, you know, it's it's tough. I think the rule number one of social media is anything that involves Hitler, stay away from it. That's a good rule. Like who you don't need a quote, however, can you? Okay, let's let's come up. Let's go to break.

When we come back, we're gonna we're gonna come up with the list of people you cannot quote. All right, good, great, all right, we're back on good calls. And so let's let's talk about some bad calling. Let's talk about we'll talk about the Sean Jackson quoting Hitler. Okay, we understand Hitler's probably at the top of the list. Um, stay away from anything Hitler, right, just stay away from it. Like you can't even you can't even like shape. You can't even go near the mustache like you can't if

it's too tight. You can't do that. You can't. The name aid Off is out. You can't name your kid aid Off. You can't do anything Hitler related for very good reasons. Who else is on the list? Any dictator, any dictator at all? Can you not? Who? Can you not quote? Any dictator? Yeah, just stay away from dit If Saddam Hussein had like amazing, like something where you're like, wow, that's like Oscar wild dish and and you can't you can't use it because it was Saddam. Yeah, stay away,

stay away from Ben Lawden. I threw up to quotes. If I threw up a quote and I said, this is either Hussane or Wild even if it's amazing, I can't use it. If it's Hussan, probably not in your best interest. You know it's been big. I don't. I didn't. I don't think bi Laden was big in the in the quote in the quote world. Yeah, you just behind the scenes, you just gotta be careful because um, like you said before we went to break, you just gotta

do a little research. You gotta be careful, little research and then like you said, anything you type into your phone or whatever, you can just start off. It's like, do I need to put this out there? Especially if I have a platform, if I'm just Seeman Jackson, question why I really anytime I tweet and I don't tweet all that often, you know if yea, if somebody asked me about a football question, then yeah, I'll respond, But

even then I read it. I make sure there's no you know, I'm not spelling anything wrong or anything like that. But do you need to put that out there? I remember, um, I remember when Colin when Kaepernick, you know, got a lot of crap for wearing a skivera um T shirt, right because a lot of Cubans, um no was it

was it? Or no, no, no, no, no no, it wasn't shake overa it was he he made a comment about Castro and a lot of Cubans that were had left had left Cuba who were living in the United States, especially in South Florida, were upset because of the comments he made about Castro and that's to me. And this is a guy that is educated, that has obviously been

a driver in in civil rights and social justice. But you gotta, like you said, you gotta educate yourself before you you start quoting people and start talking about stuff, because it is it's a mine field out there. He's not the only one. A lot of politicians have screwed up in Florida when they're trying to appeal to one side or the other. And you know, obviously the people who left Cuba, they have strong opinions on that. And sure he's not the first and he won't be the last.

Just kind of really made a mess and act, you know what. You know what was going on but not widely publicized. But the night that the you know, Castro took control, there was actually a party at at at the President's this big gala, and Michael Corleone was there with Fredo, and Michael realized that Fredo was the one that portrayed him with Hyman Roth, and he kissed them.

I said, I saw I saw that documentary which I knew it was you, Fredo, and then and then and then Governor Cuomo, you know, called that an Italian slur ninety years later, whatever it was. Let let me ask you this dean, is is Trump on this list of unquotable? And do you I mean, I here's the thing. I think you can get in trouble. Trump is a very

divisive character, obviously divisive figure. I think if you're if you work for in certain industries, I think you can get in trouble for aligning yourself with Trump, um, without question um. And like I said, look, I don't agree. I think you're you're the President United States, act like it like a decent human being, and don't and don't promote you know, crap. But you know, I don't think

Trump is unquotable. Like if I retweeted something from Trump, I would probably get a lot of I'd probably get a lot of backlash on Twitter, But I don't think i'd lose my job depending on what it is. Well, but I think the thing is, you know, there's a rule like it's it's just a Hitler rule. You don't that's a that's an absolute, that's yeah, and you don't bring it up like you're at a party, and then you you put in a quote of Hay like, hey, guys,

you know said that actually trouble. Who got in trouble. It was a football coach. I forget what it was, but he talked about he said it. He prefaced it by saying, obviously I don't agree with what he did, but the guy was a great leader because he got everybody to follow him. And he got annihilated like he I think he lost his job. He was like a college football coach. Yeah, I just I just looked it up.

It was uh not to drag his name through the dirt here, but Morris Burger at Grand Valley State University. He he gave props to Hitler. Can't do that. You just it's off, it's off the table, like, it's just you can't do it. Well, I will say, an enemy of yours though Michael Jordan's he tried to bring back the mustache. You remember that. Oh yeah, he had the little He tried to and not even Michael Jordan's could

really make it work. Michael Jordan can't make it work. Then, you know Tom Selleck though it's let's let's be honest here, No, Tom Selleck, it was a little bit bush here. Yeah. Yeah, but is there anybody is are we missing anybody else? I think stay away from World War Two dictators Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini,

like stay away from them. Like, but there's people that I don't think Stalin and Mussolini, like Mussolini is is a is a well loved figure for some Italians, Like he's not what there's some people of Hitler too, like that just you just stay away from you just said, like that's just fascism. You're you're Mussolini's you're guy. But um, I I don't know, but I think Hitler is at the top of the pyramid. But I just I don't know if there's anybody white can can challenge him for

that throne. You just it's like, no matter the situation, it's just never a good time to bring him up. That's that's just the rule. You just don't. You're on a first date, you're at a company party, those things to bring up on a first date. I mean, you know, I remember I had a conversation with um Terry Bradshaw one time after on a Sunday after games No, and he's he not not that, but he's a he's a

very big history buff and he studies this stuff. And we were talking about World War Two and he knows his stuff, and we're talking about World War two and Hitler and things like that. Um, so it's obviously it's a part of history. And uh, but again it's like you said, first date. Things you can't talk about on the first date Hitler, Holocaust. Um what else can you not talk about on the first date. Well, I wouldn't

bring up any prior prior girlfriends, exes, spouses, boyfriends. Probably not a good to go into much detail about that, help anything anything health related. I think that's probably a taboo topic. And also, I know true crime is very popular, but you probably don't want to lead off on a date with like you just read about this cool murder. Yes, serial killer, Like yeah, serial killer stuff probably not good. Yeah,

your favorite show is Dexter. The starting a bad first date is like going talking about Hitler and ordering like really really saucy chicken wings, Like that would be like just bad, just you know, not enough wet, wet wet wipes. It would just be a bad deal. You don't want to see me chicken wings. I'll be sweating. Yeah, really hot ones, like the super hot ones, like oh you know what, you know, you know who I really you know, we're really like a lot of his His politics was

Adolph Hitler. By the way, we're gonna we're gonna order the hottest wings on the menu. They have a hot wing contest here. So what do you like to do in your spare time? So the date is at Buffalo Wild Wings. The date is that if yeah, if you if you go to a if you take yes, exactly? Can you ever have a first date at b dubs? If it's just like a meat up, have a couple of drinks. But if you Hey, I'm taking you to dinner and you don't tell and just look where we're all.

I'm taking you to dinner, I'm not gonna tell you where and you just beat ups? Is that acceptable now? Or like, hey, there's a there's a Buffalo Wild Wings near us. You want to meet there, have a drink and then maybe we can figure it out. That yeah, that that's fine as long as you said at the bar. Maybe too, if they're a sports fan, that's helpful. Then it's not so weird. It would it would be weird too. So you better if you met her at a poetry class and you're like, yeah, I know this place. They

they play all the big ten games on Saturdays. It's a Michigan bar like No, Speaking of football, what do you guys think of Patrick Mahomes. This contract has gotten a lot of attention on for obvious reasons. Um, what do you think of the deal? I mean, anytime you're getting anywhere near half a billion dollars, it's a it's a great deal. Like you're not gonna get a ton of guaranteed money like uh in NFL, like you do

in baseball and other sports. So I think anytime you're talking about half a billion dollars, it's a good deal. And he's he's now tied to that franchise, and I think that helps. I think that helps like players, when you're with one franchise for entire career, I think that helps your marketability. And I think in the long runs, it's it's going to be a deal that that that we're gonna look back and say this is a good deal for he's gonna they're gonna win moremionship and he's

and he's right. I think he's he's the best player. You can argue position, but he's the best player in the NFL. He won a Super Bowl. Um, he is, he is. I haven't heard anyone say a bad word about him as a person, right he is. He could not be a more likable person. Um. So as for a face of a league and a face of a franchise, you could do much, much worse. Um. But like you

said this, you know what's interesting about the contract. You talk about guaranteed money, Um, Ryan Tannehill got similar guaranteed money in a four year deal that then Mahomes is gonna get in what a ten year deal. Obviously, Tannehill was in a different position. Tannehill was was a free agent. Mahomes still had two years left on his rookie deal. Kansas City didn't have to give him a new contract. I think this is a good deal for Kansas City too.

It's a good deal, right, you get the security for Mahomes, but it's a great deal for Kansas City because you could talk about five million dollars, but they don't. They don't have to pay out this entire deal. Right. He'll be a chief as long as the chiefs want him to be a chief. That's the bottom line. So it's gonna be interesting. I think it's seven when that deal,

that that one year hit goes up to sixty million. Obviously, if he's still playing, which it's likely he will be still playing at this level, they're not gonna mess around. But if he's not and they're gonna take sixty million UM off off of you know, a cap hit and one player, they may need to restructure that so or

they may need to go in different directions. Obviously we're speculating, but I think it's a good deal for Kansas City to to to lock him up because again, the bottom line is other than that guaranteed money, which is what sixty million um. You know, the Chiefs can cut him at any point, right you know, they they if he's not performing. And that's the reality of football with uh you know, yes, you you got to perform to stay

with the Chiefs the rest of your career. The Chiefs, um the organization really you know, holds the cards at a certain point, you know, once you get into the you know, the the latter part of that deal. But I'm happy for him. I'm happy. I hope that they stay together. Um you know, Andy Reid is one of the best people out there, and and obviously win in the Super Bowl. The key now is can you know, can they can they continue, can they repeat? And uh and do it again and and I don't see there's

any reason why they. Um, you look at what's happening around the week, especially in the a f C with with New England, um, with Brady no longer there and that team was you know, was probably on the downside. Anyway, who's gonna who in the a f C is going

to challenge the Chiefs? You know at this point, um, do you need to see X amount of Super Bowl wins to justify that con Well, if not for a bogus roughing the passer that keeps probably go to the Super Bowl two years ago and uh, well a lot time right the game side, and then and also probably win. They probably beat the Rams. They probably be the Rams.

I think everyone agrees that. And also it's like people are looking at that half a billion that looks huge, but when you do year by year, you know, it's more like I think I saw like forty five forty seven million a year. And then you look at a guy like Jared Goff who was getting a guaranteed like thirty three million a year, It's like, yeah, it's ten million more. It was. It was Russell Wilson was that thirty five a year, this is average is out ten

like forty five, so ten million more. But again it's you know, there the chances and and he's a guy that could. But I'd be shocked if he's on this same contract nine years from now. He's not gonna be on this contract four years from They're going to restructure it when you know a lot of these other contracts with that team are are going away, and they'll be like, oh, we need to free up some space so we can

keep our our team together. Because I imagine that when another super bowler two in the next and what he said too, because yes, he probably he probably could have gotten more money if he waited. Um, but when you're talking about that kind of money, we don't and we'll never none of us will ever be in that position.

Um maybe maybe Joe, but you know, to be sitting there and sign a deal that is going to set you for life and your children and your children's children, and to be that type of life changing and to have that type of security. Who's default you know, Patrick Mahomes or any player that's going to sign that type of contract, good for him. Yeah, every every few years, it's it's always a QB that gets a big contract because the money keeps going up. Then we're like, this

is crazy, this is so much. And then a couple of years later, a new hot QB. It's a huge contract, and it's gonna keep going up because, right, COVID is gonna end new television deals, new money, higher salary cap. The the NFL is not gonna go you know, they're not gonna lose, They're not gonna you know, go down, and revenue every year it's gonna go up. And and so that that money will be, you know, in a

part of a bigger contract. Right, it's whoever it is, whether it's whether it's a guy like you know, whether it's Trevor Trevor, you know, right the Clubs Lawrence quarterback Trevor Lawrence who comes in and maybe he you know, maybe he does the same thing that Mahomes has done, or you know, McCaffrey. Running backs I think have a shorter shelf life. So I don't see him getting that

type of money um long term. But again, it's good for him, and I'm happy to see that he's gonna at least stay with the Chiefs for UM, because that's an organization. It's it's a sorgization that you know was part of the part of the a f L. It's been it's been a one of the franchises in the NFL that is kind of a good standing franchise and and uh, and we'll see how it goes being in

Kansas City. To the other thing is like, he's not going to have the media scrutiny that other markets will have if he were to go to a different team. And he's won a super Bowl there, nearly went to another super Bowl in his first two seasons as the starter. So it's like he's he's he's a hearing an icon in that city. Like he's he's not gonna it's it's gonna be we should be pretty smooth failing for him.

Is that still a thing? Though? I know it's still a thing, But is it's still because of social medium, because of the changes is the home market media, Like I was saying, oh, you if you can't play in New York, you know a lot of guys can't play in New York because of the media. Is that still

as important today as it was twenty years ago? Because yes, I think the amount of people that cover you is is just more in those cities, Like you're gonna have four different beat writers and two calumnists from the New York Post, and maybe at the Kansas City Star you've got a columnist sent a beat writer, Like you're not gonna have the amount of people asking the amount of questions to get the content that they need. And so maybe that for that reason, I think that's a good point, Travis.

Like I said, you're you know what you're talking about. I think I think generally it doesn't matter as much, but I do think specifically l A and New York there is still a little bit more of a spotlight because that's where these news organizations are based. And New York specifically, you know, the Post has you know, tableau aid sports headlines, so there is just a little bit

more pressured. But like at this point though, you know, it's like if you're a superstar, Like when Lebron went back to Cleveland, the media followed, so it didn't you know what I mean. Like, so I agree, it's not as big of a deal as it was pre Internet. But I think if you're in New York City and people hate you, the city will let you know in a way that others don't sure. Oh yeah, I mean if you're there, And I would agree with that, having lived in New York City and New York most of

my life. It's if you're loved by right you think about someone like Derek Jeter. You know, when you're when you can perform there, you are good for life, like your golden If you can't perform there, you're like persona non grata, or say you're like James Dolan. Yeah, like you will. You will walk down the street and get MF and you will get your own building with your own franchise. You will you know, fire Dolan, chance, get rid of doll and chance, those types of things. So, um,

I do agree. In New York is probably a different a different beast. But it's uh, you know, I think Mahomes is gonna you know then that there's gonna be right with a contract like that, there's gonna be additional scrutiny. You know, is he like because the Homes You know, if he takes a step back next year and maybe he doesn't have as good a year, Oh they overpaid blah blah blah. We we are a what have you

done for me lately? Society Uh. You know, that's why I'm still waiting for Joe to do something for me. It's been years and it's never nothing lately, nothing in the past, maybe in the future. Joe, what do you mean, I do all sorts of things for you. I just wanted to wake you up because you haven't been saying anything. I'm just playing on. Like. The thing about that deal, though, is they paid. I think what they did is they paid for that Super Bowl. It's been fifty year drought

with Kansas City. They're like, let's pay this guy. Let's thank him because the money that came in for that was probably just no. I just think it was a smart deal. I think it's a smart deal because you're gonna pay, you know, if he keeps playing it. But if he keeps playing the way he's playing, Yeah, you're you're getting a discount for these next two rookie contract years. But after that you put him on the on the open market, you're gonna get him. Yeah. I think it

was a smart deal, man. I mean, the dude's the best best quarterback in the league. He's gonna get better, and you you you just locked him up for his whole prime. Yeah, well for the next level quarterbacks to like Dac and Watson and market doesn't know they shouldn't, but now they will. And it's like this, he set the market for these other like quarterbacks. I'm all for them getting everything they can get, but Dad should not

be making more. Absolutely not stop. But I'm Jerry, and I'll call Jerry and tell him, Jerry just to say stop. That's a name drop. But you's have the longevity there. You know, you look at the best qub's in the league. They've been around most of them. Like, no question, Dean, can't you just can't You just tell Jerry? Uh, will you see him on the party bus this weekend? I'm not Ever since COVID the party bus has been shut down. There's actually social distancing guidelines on the party busy. It's

a little bit different because it's bigger though. So you just can't have too many people in one area of the yat. That's where you need to go, and you gotta wear man's the yacht is. That's that's my next that's my next goal, getting on the yacht. Party goals, Party goals. All right, let's take a break. When we come back, we're gonna talk about Joe's love affair with Bradley Cooper. Next boy, all right, we're back on good Calls and you guys saw did you guys see? Um

Stars Born? The most recent Stars Born with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. I haven't seen it. You haven't seen it, watching a ton of movies too, but maybe I'll watch it. Um. So Bradley Cooper, right, has been around a long time. Bredley Cooper is a good actor. He's been good looking guy, likable guy. Um some wedding crashers can wedding crashers. He played the he played the jerk, but still right, you know the guy was you look at the and why

am I drawing a blank? Now? The Hangover, Hangover, the Hangover, the Hangover movies? Right, So now he sings, he plays the guitar, he actually speaks French. And Joe went on a tirade about how much he hates Bradley Cooper because nobody should have that many like good qualities. See is the direct The direct quote was say some of the rest of us like, oh, now he sings and now

he plays the guitar. So I didn't realize how jealous Joe was of Bradley Cooper, and like, do you have a problem with someone that that is doing well for themselves and has a lot of good qualities? Are you? You know, are Joe one of you and Bradley Cooper ever been in direct competition for anything? For a job, a woman, anything, wearing a competition for life? Okay, Bradley Cooper doing well in life is taking away from you,

is negatively impacting. I'm really happy for the guy. I was just giving him his props, Like the guys really got he was not a friend that he was like fuck that guy, and he was not happy with Bradley Cooper. It's look, you're tall, you got a great jawline, you're a great actor. You speak French. I didn't know this. Like the dude's a good looking guy. It's like, hey, you know what he's not. He's you know, he's in shape.

It's like, hey, all right, we don't need the world to know that you play the guitar and seeing too, bro, like you could have kept that on the back burner. Don't tell your first we came up with some things we thought Bradley Cooper might not be good at to make Joe feel better. So we don't think Bradley Cooper is a very good dancer, and so that made Joe

feel bad. I feel better because I could dance. He's probably not that good of an athlete, right, I don't remember any of the scenes and wedding crashes where he showed off to this athletics c they played football, fame anything else. We landed on not a good dancer, dancer, and he's been on so twice. So that's something Joe has up one up on. Bradley Cooper. Guitar out me thinking and I want you don't I want you guys to chime in here, But I got me thinking about

my man crushes over the years. So one of my first man crushes, and I've had a man crush on him since forever, is Brad Pitt. Yeah, bit is the coolest brat I started for me in and I don't know which one. I don't know. I think I'm not sure which one came out first. I think it was Legends of the Fall, which if you haven't seen Legends of the Fall, watch it. I mean unbelievable cast. I mean that cast is ridiculous. It's it's a little slow

in the beginning and it picks up. But Brad Pitt I wanted to be Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall Tristan. He had the long flowing hair. There he was riding horses in Montana. He was like, I remember, wasn't there in the trailer there's like a shot where he like tips his cap or something like he's wearing like a like a cowboy hat or something like tempts and it's like it's like there's like water. It's like perfect, yes, yes, perfect. So Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall was my

first man crush. And I've had a man crush on Brad Pitt forever. And I mean, and now what thirty years later, He's going in Once upon a Time in Hollywood and still did like the coolest grade out there. So Brad Pitt, for sure, it is like one the other man crushed I've had for a while. Um. And it started with and and he was unbelievable in a time to kill Matthew McConney. And that's where and I remember talking to my dad. My dad was like, this guy is gonna be a big actor. Like this guy

is good. And then what did he do? He started doing all these rom coms, and then he did this rom com, which I'm fine with, you know, get the money to do something easy. And then he kind of went back and then he won an oscar and and did some other things. But the movie that did it for me with Matthew McConney was How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days? Like I wanted to be him in that movie so bad. He was a big like ad executive in Manhattan, in New York City. He ends up.

He ends up with um, what's her name? Who's awesome? Um, come on, Kate Hudson. And he's a big Knicks fan and the Knicks were in the finals against the Kings in the movie, you know, in the finals in the nineties several times. You know what's funny, Dean. I remember remember Boomerang. I remember thinking I want to be Eddie Murphy and Boomerang if I'm ever Eddie Murphy since since like Saturday, and he was in New York City, had a I think he was an ad exact also, and

he was just he was just smooth, Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy grew up was originally from Long Island, not far from where I grew up so many Murphy's always I've always had Eddie Murphy's like might be top you know, I don't know about depending on how you how you define talent or when it comes to the entertainment world top five most talented people in that in that world, well does he sing and play the guitar? Though he sings? He single, he had a hit single. My girl likes

to party all the time. So any anybody and I do have a new man crush, more recent one. I'll get into that in a second, but anybody, come on, Travis, I know you've had a man crush. Well, Brad Pitt was one of mine for sure, and and like for for the reasons you said, he's just such a great actor. He seems like such a cool guy to hang out with, right Waterson Waterson? Yeah, Waterson? As soon as you met Waterson and days again, fuse you loved him. And like

Matthew McConaughey, I'm saying like that, I have one. I'm trying to think like Michael Jordan loved the guy when I was a kid, like he just wanted to be like Mike. I know, I know I felt like I should hold that back, but It's like you wanted to be like Mike. He did everything you wanted to. You wanted to be an asshole who Well, you didn't see that as basketball and was a team as a kid. You didn't see that. You just saw it as a laugh under a shroud of secrets. See is that what

you want to be? Yes? Yes, I think Brad Pitt's a little short eleven. Here comes Joe, and Joe he's got to break him down. He's a little yeah, five amazing friends. Like he'd be like he called me and he'd be like, Hey, what are you doing. I'm watching I'm I'm breaking down the replays from the from the Big Ten games, which game the Michigan game that was a great call at the end of the third I'd be like, yeah, So you'd be like Leo in Once upon a Time and he'd just be like, I brought

there can come over? Yeah, you come over, And then like, dude, you can you pick me up? We're gonna go, We're gonna go to the studio. Yeah, I'll drop you off. Yeah. And when you're crying after blowing a call on air, he's like, I'm like, I'm like giving in the mirror You're better than that. How could you say that was a catch? What you gotta have? You can't have three whiskey sours. You have that be Matthew McConaughey would be more of the guy that you'd be watching football. I

like that with don't be annoying, not freaking. And I've never been in the same place as Brad Pitt. I have rubbed elbows with Matthew McConney. I've never I've never been in the same Matthew mcconnee and I've I've I've rubbed els elbows with him, and I've acknowledged him. I haven't said any words to him, but I've acknowledged him, and he was probably like, oh, who's that cool guy? But Brad Pitt, I've never been and Bred Pitt. I think either has a place in Santa Monico or resides

here at times. I don't know, you know, I don't know what I think. He's right here. He's back with Jennifer Aniston, all right, that's THEO. I don't. I haven't followed his personal life. We have, we have all that information out our fingertips. And somebody like Joe who's your man crush? And it has to be it's gonna be. And you can't say like like Chuck Zito, Chuck Zito back, yes, Chuck Zito and and and their last name can't be gracy,

So pick somebody else. Um, I've always liked John Mayer, whoa i'd a left field, always been a John Mayer fan, Like, dude' an amazing guitarist. He's funny, He's really funny. Um he's a little like he's I think he's a little dorky. But because he's such an amazing, uh you know, artist, it makes him cool and he's like, oh I could be cool now, but um, yeah, I think I'm a

John Mayor fan John Mayer. Okay, Scott Well, I mean you've already said Brad Pitt he always is cool and it's it's annoying and that he seems to be eating cool alert as time goes on, you know who. Here's the thing with Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt is kind of following like Clooney gets cooler. It's kind of like that, Paul Newman, Steve McQueen getting cooler as they get older, Sean Connery like Denzel like, you're getting cooler as you get. I think Cluney is Cluney was up there on mine too.

I think he's he's a pretty cool dude. Yeah, Clooney. Clooney is good at like by all accounts to he's a pretty chill dude. Like when there's like, you know, kind of tyrants on set or whatever, he defends other people and things looks good. But actually, as far as like a character actor guy, I've actually I don't know if he's a man crusher. I just I think he's very enerrated. Is Steve's on? You know who that is? Yeah? Oh yeah, Steve in a ton of movies. I feel

like he shows up in your movie. You're like, Okay, there's some watching fun going on. I'm watching a Steve's on. I'm watching one of my favorite episodes of Modern Family is Steve's on, and and they moved next door? Like absolutely, Steve Steve's on movie I'm watching. He's a Marshall Minnesota guy.

That's why you like him Minnesota. But I definitely you've seen him in a ton of stuff he was in he you know, he was in a lot of those like in the nineties, like us in reality bites that thing you do I a movie I like a lot any with the one with Jack Black and uh and what's his name? From Saving they kidnapped a man to Pete? Yeah, yes, and then they that movie I don't love, but they're they're Neil Diamonds. They're Neil Diamond. Is called Diamonds in

the rough, That Neil Diamond. You know what, I want to take mine back? My all time Randy Cotor. Okay, see Randy Cotore. Dude, is he's bad? Go ahead, I know what you want to say. Go ahead, Well, I know Randy there it is. Tell you another one him at the gym if you want. But yeah, I've been waiting for my invite. I have yet to get it.

Super cool guy um and obviously has accomplished a martial artist, a mixed martial artists as you're gonna get um uh And actually I watched where was I. I was just telling you this story, Joe, when I was in Vegas and him and Brock lessner um that when when Brock when Brock knocked him knocked him out? Was that bad? That fight? Um? And I was heartbroken because I thought he was gonna win. Yeahtre is a bad dude. Man. Oh you know one that everyone will say and everyone

I think will agree is Bill Murray. I don't but Bill Murray like man crushes different, Like I don't want to be Bill Murray. Like that's what I that, That's how I look at I'll say this for all us ugly guys out there, he's aspirational because you're like, he's cool, he's funny, he loves sports. He's a big Chicago sports guy. But no one would ever be like, this is leading man, handsome Bill Murray. Yet he has gotten to be a

leading man. So for all the ug goes out there, like myself, it gives you what was the one he did? He did the one movie with was it Scarlett jo Hansen or yeah, that's with her? Yeah, and that was that was leading mannish and that was a romantic yeah, And that's when he was doing he was kind of transitioning into more serious stuff. But it's just like he's had a great career. Every like if he shows up

at anything, people love him. He's he constantly like shows up at people's ways in top five Top five small role ever is him in in uh in kingpin Oh? He was great in that his hair, his hair and that was so big like that, like for a small small part in that movie, he's unbelievable. Ernie McCracken, Yes, no one. I was thinking that kind of is on that same vein like it was just funny. Like Adam Sandler was always a guy like he's not what you think.

That's the way. You don't think of him as like the man crush, like you want you want to be him, like all the girls want to be with him, Like he doesn't fall into that, but he's still just like he was the lovable loser kind of guy who always growing girl and Billy Madison. He like he's growing as an actor. He was always playing funny songs. Like he's growing on me for sure, and I like him, whereas I was like I was kind of like, but I

really like him now and he's definitely growing on me. Um, but he like for me, that's not a man, Like I don't I don't want to be Adam Sandler in in Uh not None or the one with Kevin Gardner, the one we don't jams. That's yeah, that's the worst. That's the worst life ever. Like I don't want that. I want the opposite of the life he had. There that was one big ball of like anxiety. I thought it was cool. He's moving and shake and all the time there's always something that is going. It was cool,

just way too much. There was a way too much. I love his love his girlfriend in the movie, but way too much. And his wife was awesome too. Um but no, no, not a not did we get your top five or do we get like three years? Here's the new one? This is an unknown and this is like and I think I mentioned to you this show right, the Last Kingdom. The dude that is the lead actor in the Last Kingdom, his name is Alexander drama dude and Joe, he might land on your This dude is

is leading man, handsome. He's a great actor like he and he's and that's not an easy he's you're playing like you can't take certain actors and play that type of role, right, you can't. You can't just take you know, like think about has George Clooney playing played like a braveheart period leading man? You can't just that's different, right, So he's good, good, you know, leading man, handsome, great actor. He comes from a martial arts background. Joe, he grew

up Travis. I got one for you. Grew up in Wyoming, part of his part of his life road horses in Wyoming, and then moved his family like moved to like Europe or Germany whatever so speaks German fluent German French English and uh, and the dudes like like a stunt and and he plays Ughtred on Last Kingdom. And I want to be what's his name, Alexander Draymond real quick Dean. I hope I'm not stealing it thunder. I do want to say I've always thought Kiana Reeves as awesome. God

is that bad? He's a humanitarian. He you you love movies. He said speed is great. No, I just he's the best worst actor ever, like he see. I disagree with that premise. I think people miss cast him. They tried to make him do stuff that he wasn't good, you know. And And for me, I like, I want you to be able to I want you to be able to morph. I want you know, Christian Bale, I want you know, Russell Crowe. I want Russell Crowe to play Maximus and then play you know, put on sixty pounds to play

you know, the vice President to play Cheney. Or I want to see de Niro put on sixty pounds to play, you know, Jacol motto, Like, that's what I want to say. So your big thing is they can gain weight. Yes, I think we're missing Italian American. I think we're missing the obvious one to hear guys, and we've we've focused a lot on actors, but we didn't mention Tom Brady. Like if any of us say they don't crush on I like Tom. I don't have a man crusha. I like him. He's got it all. I feel like I

don't like him. I like him, I don't have a man crushaurt him. No, listen, I'm gonna tell you that he does have something wrong with in Travis. He's a terrible dancer. I witnessed this firsthand. Okay, you've been to the super Bowl party with him? Okay, I think that the most obvious one. It all comes back to Joe's dancing and what he has on guys and that, and that's where we started. Kobe Kobe Bryant answer, Kobe Bryant is the big one. I mean, dudes are getting his

his picture tattooed on it. No, that's for next week. Next week, we're gonna talk about the rules of getting a celebrity tattooed on your body when that's acceptable. Scott's face is exactly an agreement with me. But next week we talk about that one. I remember. Yeah, So here's the thing I want to talk about, dude. Wakeboarding is the hardest thing ever in the world. Like I'm I've always been a pretty good athlete. I can do a lot of different things physically. I we try to try

to wait for it over the weekend. I didn't my first time, and I only tried, like what, I don't know seven or eight times. I can't get it. I couldn't get up on the board. Like, that's hard, Travis. Travis is like surfer, dude, but that's hard. Have you have you surf? Have you done? Just like, yeah, that's surf.

I find surfing to be harder. It's like wakeboarding. I thought was was a little bit easier, but surfing is more challenging because there's so many more variables with surfing that that you don't have with with I just couldn't get up with damn boar. You just didn't keep your arms back then, you just didn't keep your weight back in your arms. Back. I know, I kept falling forward and broke with pull away. Yeah, you gotta up your arms back. I'm surprised Joe didn't teach you this. Maybe

it was busy. They did try to teach me. And and I'll go again, and I think I'll get it eventually. But that that ship is hard. You weren't you weren't starting in the optimal Well, first of all, what I agree because I watched the video since and I definitely was not starting in the optimal position. And you also wis my feet were not right? You also went after guys who are really good, who they make it look easy. They just stand up on the like they literally just

get up you. What you need to do is you need to get in like a like a fetal position, your knees at your chest and just let the boat pull you. And it's also in your defense, we're on a river, so the water is not still. If you're on like a lake and the water is just flat, you could literally just lay there and you don't move. But when you're on a river, it's moving constantly. Well, then we need to go on a lake because that ship was hard. I mean, are you going to post

the video on Twitter so we can see it. There's nothing to see. It's me. It's me bobbing my head in the water from a rope, pulling away from my arms and me like smashing my hands against the water. And you just hear my question for you. Did you get a bloody nose doing it? No? No, then then you were Yeah? Then then your hard was my first time as I got pulled over, smashed face right, Oh, yeah, that's the is. And then just the same thing. You let your arms get all the way extended and then

the boat just takes you forward and you smash straight down. Yeah, you got a bloody nose. But my first I didn't get up my very first try. Um, but I did get up out. Sorry, I'll try it again. The other thing that that Joe got to witness. Here's the Did you guys know that there's an arrow in the FedEx logo? Yeah, Scott did get space. Yeah, there's yes, I had no idea. I did some graphics. Now you can't let me see it. See it one of the greatest logos of all this listening.

There's an arrow between right and yeah, well the D and the E and X and the X. There's an arrow and it's pointing to the right. It's it's insane, dude, So I know the insane they let me tell you, guys, the live version of Brain of Blandino. It is amazing, like the things this dude. We we hung out for a couple of days over over Fourth of July weekend and he just the random stuff that goes on in this dude's mind. Driving he calls me, here's a guy.

I was following Joe, and there was a guy that passed us on the left in like a pickup truck and he had a you know how they do the it's not I don't know what the actual way they do it, but it's like an engraving on the back window, and it was a yeah, and it was of the Joker, the the heath Ledger Joker Jesus with with the words you why so serious? Okay, He's on the back of this dude's pickup truck. So as he's passing, I called Joe and I was like, how proud was this dude

when he got it done? And then he like drove to all his friends houses and didn't say anything at first and hoping they'd notice on their own called like he called me. He's like, dude, how stoked was that guy when when he got that stick or put on or whatever. And I'm just like, this is what's going on in your head? Like all these cars and that's what's happening in your mind. And there was a couple of other ones too, right there, there's a couple other

like just weird, random Brandon Blandino thoughts. And I was like, this is the live version of Brandon Blandino. It was just incredible to just be part of it. In the moment started talking about the celebrities and when is it okay to tattoo a celebrity on your body? Like when is that ever? So that was like, so we'll talk about that next week. I think we should get somebody to tattoo the Dean Blandino on them, Like give a

pretty handsome prize, send a tattoo with Dean on you. Yeah, that would be I bet there's someone out there consider that. But there's speaking of brand of Blandio, let's do one rules to wearing a black dress shirt? Oh yes, so somebody had mentioned it was you, Joe, some some guy Joe's like neighbor asked him to borrow a black dress shirt, like a button down, long sleeve black dress shirt. And I was like, where's he going? Like where's where is

he going through? Like a mafia funeral? Like when? When is it acceptable? Where? Okay? Where would you where would it be acceptable to wear a button down black dress shirt? Where are you going to? Where? I want to hear your catering event? At a wedding. Even then they wearing the black you might not you known't wearing a black shirt like black on black. That's a very strong like,

that's a very strong like message. That's aggressive. You need to be You need to be very cool to pull off a black dress shirt with like a black like sports code or black tie. You have to be like Keana Reese, that's pretty cool. I did have. But where where are you going? Like? Where is that guy going? Like? Where is he going with a black dresser? I mean said, you ever want a black dresser? I probably have, but I don't know. Wedding, I don't know. I'm not sure

black dress shirt to a wed maybe not. I don't know. I'm trying to think. I think I might have won one back. Actually, I grew up in Long Island, so I was former Guido, So I probably wore one like a sweet sixteen. Yeah, I probably wore one to a school dance. Probably was like a black silk one. But that's probably the last time I don't know, you were rocking a black silk dress shirt to a slow dance. Oh yeah, did you get any You definitely cut well.

I probably won the school dance contest, and I probably I probably like got a you know, a chicken pack after the dance from my lady friend or definitely maybe at the roller rink back in the day girls were in the class like three eight how many I mean my graduating classes in a small hook up to get

everybody hooked up with everybody black. But I think a black shirt is better if it's like the less formal part, like you're of the entire outfit, like you're wearing a suit jacket or a sport coat, but there's no color. Can you can you wear with that? You were like, you can wear like a charcoal I think, or like a blue, like navy blue. But it looks weird, it's very it's a coggressive. But black dress shirt is a coggressive. I think you have to look like a model if

you want to pull it off. Otherwise usually just look like like you said, like a mafia hit man going to a funeral and just talk to the wardrobe folks, and you know what that's I'm gonna text. I'm gonna text Victoria and ask her when because I know they don't. I've never they've never put out on like I've ever seen that any of our talent. You've got a fashion good right, and they're not and they're not shot at like they you know, they're not conservative. Um, but a

black dress shirt is I don't know. I don't say it. You don't say it very often. I think you could get away with it with like mean, if you're going to a club in Vegas or something maybe, I mean if you're going to a nightclub. But then but then you're that guy, like you're like, we've all seen that guy in the nightclub. He's got his caller outside of his jacket. Yes, the dress shirt that I did have is black, but it's button up. I wouldn't even call a dress shirt. I mean it's short sleeve. It's a

Lululemon black different short short sleeve casuals different. I don't have a long sleeve black. Black is a good color. Like I think black. I like black the swimming color. Especially on those half bake nights. Stains night is a half bake night, baby. I have two half bake nights a week. I have not had the peanut M and M since May seven, but I have two half pint to half baked pint days a week. I try to spread them out. One during the week, one on the weekend.

Tonight's the night baby days amazing. I eat ice cream almost every night, but you have but you can control. Yeah, I ate a pint every night. You know my cholesterol. I just died. I got my wife breathing down my neck, going, hey, hey, don't eat the whole thing, don't eat that whole thing. Like so I have to. I have to, you know. Yeah, I'm on the Dean that I'm on the Dean wagon. If you're gonna open it, just eat the whole thing. No,

I don't do that putting it back. That's a lot of self control starting starting a pint of Ben Jerry's and then putting it back. Especially I'll say this month I got I guess June kind of fell off the wagon because I was buying not the pint, but like the big container of ice cream that's old school. But half a quarter half gallon, half gallon. And here's what I've been doing half their space half gallon of vanilla

ice cream. I know, But because I've been making my own cold brew, I do a couple of scoops of that and then just pour over a little cobounds coffee and then it almost like crystallized on it. It's so good. Gallant though, I remember it's like a box. All right, can we can? We can we finish this thing? We're way over now. You've got me thinking about Friendly? Does anybody ever remember Friendlies? That just the East coast thing? Might be? Might know something I brought. They go as

far west. I know they go as far west as Ohio. Um, but I've never seen a Friendly is out here. But the half used to get the box, the half gallon of Friendly's ice cream. Friendly's fribble. If anybody's listening and you've got a fribble, d M. We could just talk about fribbles all day. I don't know. It's so good. One thing I did bring back basically though, I got some and w root beer and vanilla. I's been the root beer float very underrated. Oh my god, it's been

so good to last week ship white. Yeah, I'm man w root here. Oh man, have you ever done it with ginger le? I have floats. I've done floats with every kind of burners. Baby, Yeah, we've We've done floats with every kind of uh soda pop or pop as we used to say. Yeah, all right, I think we've I think we've exhausted the ice cream talk. This has been good.
