All right, here on a slivel. Everyone, your worst friends, family members, and coworkers are gonna try to frank you today. They prank you shander fists. No, I don't hit its violence sucks, but don't You don't have to take it. You don't have to take it today. Very much like things said after day if they pie shoot because you didn't wear green, Yeah, you don't have to take it. These hands have not been

authorized. But also no violence. But still we got a great joke for you today, you little fools with the first times we got them boom boom. First boy, I hope everyone's recovering after getting down on those nuts. You mean nothing, not baby, Look about that lease. We actually do have a decent one to that. I think. Do we have things no one else in the world has? We always do Exclusive audio at eight from

HiT's DOAA tournament. Have you turned that down a bit? Yeah? I could just picture Danny's eyes rolling as those texts kept rolling in you last night. There's tech number one hundred with audio attachment. I did the thirty minute challenge of converting all of the M four A clips to m P three's and then editing them. I had to do a factory reset on my phone just

to cut up some memory. Return to factory settings. My brother Cash gotta somebody of a fan going Ham at NC State and Duke yesterday at the American Airline Center for Elite eight Action Elated Action with a final four set o'clock. You'll hear from Aubrey Audrey. Are I like the idea of a group texture on going so hard that you just factory reset your phone, just deal with the rest of it, figure it out. The problem is that he started

another chain, a fresh one with just us and him. Well, there was like US four in Cash and like seven texts came in and then all of a sudden there was another audio clip sent to another one as he texted the wrong people. I was like, who is this random number? Oh? Really? Yeah? There was another thread that had like a number that I don't have in my contact poor bastard, we call that random number. I have to apologize. I thought I was going to have to give that

thread the the freak employer group thread treatment. Yeah, what's stronger than mute block? Everyrock collar? Yeah, okay, I'm not seeing it. I just see the one with us three mm hmm. Because I'll probably know who that other was. Well there was more, There was more, but yeah, we'll have that in a for you because the audio is funny after you siphoned through everything, Yeah, filter it out. It is. I liked that he went to that game. You know, like he lives walking to

the AC and he wasn't didn't have tickets on Sunday midday. And he's like, you know what, I think hundred bucks for a lower Bowl seat to an Elite eight game walking distance from your house. I mean even told me about it. I can say. I'm like, ah, I don't care about duke or was it duke n C State number four? Duke number eleven in C State? We have an eleven into the final four. Yeah, well that's a classic matchup too. Yep. Cindy is is bad and C

State wasn't gonna make the tournament, but they got hot. They won five in a row in the a CEC tournament. They ran through Tech, ran through all the teams they needed to. I told you guys, they've got a fat center. So it's kind of great. All right, the center is back in college. Bas Burns MM, that's a great name, it is. He's a big boy, he's kind of the cartoon man of the whole tournament, but he's fun. And then Perdue gigantor man who's not fun.

No, you know, I was thinking this helped me out. I was thinking of because this is this will be your college basketball talk for the day, Perdue. Right. I think of them as a I mean, it's certainly not blue blood, but they're like a bit. I don't know. I always thought of them as a pretty strong basketball school, you know, until they get beat by un T in the tournament two years ago.

Yeah, and they were a high seed then too, right, and they had this is their first roinal fours in nineteen eighty Right, it is he confirmed what I bet over under college dribbles Danny saw this week set it zero point five this weekend. Place your bets. I mean, we're talking any even if I just you don't really change channels anymore. Accidentally seeing live n CUAA basketball. How many dribbles, I don't know. I don't think he knew it existed. No, I know it's exists. I know I'm aware

of its existence. But I'll take a slice of from Undo cheese that you might as well just go ahead and go to the bank, buddy, and make a deposit under point five dribbles. It never got turned on. Boy, Yeah, I didn't care. Probably saw a couple hundred ribbles. Yeah, the fish to fry at my house are quite large. Did you have an eventful weekend? I did? Uh, you know, so to speak? Yeah, sure, Well watched a lot of TV and a lot of

basketball yesterday. It was awesome. Mike, you watched tons of college basketball. No, I said, hundreds of dribbles. That's like one possession it is in college basketball. College basketball is a bad product, but I like to give it a little bit of credit because their games are kind of fast. I mean, you can get out of there in one forty five in some cases, and the first two days of the tournament are great, and

then no one cares unless you're gambling. Teams are still in. But if you're gambling team's lost last week, then you're in a lot of deep trouble. But if your team's in, it's the biggest thing in the world, Oh my god, huge. But if your team ain't in, there, no dice real quick before get aw weekend crap, That's what I was saying. So Purdue, I was thinking teams that don't ever do anything that you think of is I don't think of them as big either, But what's like

the biggest college that never does anything in any sport? But they should? And I was thinking of this on the way in. I was thinking col Yeah, Cal should have more like you are California, you know, isn't that? Aren't they the Texas or Florida? Yeah Tech, Georgia or Alabama? Yeah the name the school after their state. Yeah, your name is cal and you don't ever, I don't ever pop up doing any like Florida does stuff. Maybe they're good at baseball, don't I don't don't want I

don't want to hear it. Text they're pretty good at meat judging for meat judging national champions that's Texas Tech me all know, right, equestrian team is unstoppable. Uh Okay, I see what you're saying. I mean, Oklahoma does Kansas. We're going to flying up north here? I mean it's not maybe it's one of Arizona. I mean they pop up, they're decent at sports and they have their niche sports. So which school is like, yeah, that's a big school. Okay, you know another one? Well,

no, because they know Illinois, but they do. They pop up in hoops Indiana, I don't know, you know, they show up sometimes it's always hoops and fine if you every one thing, but what just massive school never really does anything in sport. And I don't know how big Purdue. Oxford okay, Oxford in England never does seem to make the lead eight. It's off the top of my head. I don't see a lot of Oxford. Yeah, this is good Oxford. Even Virginia, I can claim that

they've been there. Yeah, damn, this is tough Maine, Maine, Okay, but no, you can't. That's why there's states. Now you're pretty Vermont, Yeah, you're doing really good. You're winning New Hampshire. They have to do anything. But California is a good one. But that's why I said Purdue. You every all know it, you heard of it. They don't really pop up. I mean, nineteen eighty a pretty good track record, though they're good. Uh no, no, no women's basketball,

right did they dominating that? Who would know? Kevin? Nevada should be doing more. Un LB hasn't done stuff in a long time. Okay, Las Vegas, Yeah, it's the eighties when people knew they were and they had to cheat to get all that. Yeah, but that might be a small school too. Like I don't know how big. I don't know either. I don't know like Washington they do. You know, they pop up in football and hoops much from Houston hood. You know what is de

Paul Chicago? I believe it is. I mean, Chicago a top five city in this world. We get, Yeah, what's Chicago college? College gotta be to Paul gott to be, it's gotta be. Yeah, h biggest college is in Chicago. We all google University of Illinois, Chicago, Loyola. Oh yeah, Loyola. Just make you know. They're small, but they don't have the old lady. Yeah, Sister Jean's Jean. She's still with us. Place your beds. I actually think she's fighting Mike Tyson,

a boy. Sister Jean sures Hell still is with us at one hundred and four. Damn well. I hope they get back to the tournament for her next year, because that's probably it. Many have said this is about it for Sister Jean at the end. I am tired at the end of the NCAA tournament. That's true. Here she is I went all four and she seems sharp. I mean, I doubt on a day to day basis, Kevin, you don't know how they interviewed her a lot. We'll not

ten years ago now, that's like three. I think that was go with dimes right, No, because it was packed at the AC That's where I was at that game. When Loyola buzzer beated U Florida buzzer beat Miami. They buzzer beat Miami. That was the only I saw like a real NCAA tournament buzzer beater. That's pretty good, yes, but I was cheering for Miami. But it was really fun. But also you were like, darn,

and I do like to see a happy hundred year old. Yeah, of course, that's why you spend a lot of time at nursing homes in your spare time. It does seem like the superstar college basketball player used to be so many of them, you know, in the eighties, nineties. These guys would go through or four years, and I don't know if they were just really good. I mean, yes, they were really good, but I don't know if it was so much about people were watching them,

or if they were marketed properly. But my god, you knew all of them. Most people when this tournament starts now they're hard pressed to name one college basketball player. Well, yeah, you don't learn about Don's. Yeah, lottery picked first. That's one thing I p do. I think is old. There's a lot of seniors and juniors, and that that's the I've heard that argument all the last couple of weeks is that, yeah that Kentucky is loaded with you know, future NBA players, but they can't handle Perdue

because they just know what they're doing. It's a team and they work well together, and they were sticking around to do it for coach because they've had two years in a row of tournament disappointment, one losing to un T and then I think too they lost early as a high seat again, so they get in as the one. Yeah, there's that let's do a we can crap which, don't get me wrong, it's just all college basketball sort of. God, it's not about it now, Danny. So college basketball.

I didn't do a ton other than watch Mamicks, and I did start a TV show, Oh that I got to get you guys on. Oh god, So if you remember, i'd been after Warrior Mike said, oh god, I don't do I don't. I never did Apple TV just because I have an older Roku and it I just can't get the app. So for me to do Apple TV, I have to really, really really want to watch something, as I can only watch it on my computer. Funny thing is is I've got this software that will anything that's on my computer screen will

cast to my TV. That's how I watched Mamoricks. Yeah, and it's a different it's not like something within the computer. It's like a third party app and it's worked perfectly except anything that has to do with Apple. Because Apple and Roku, I guess they hate each other's guts. So anytime you try to screen something from Apple TV, the TV just goes blank. You

can hear the audio, but there's no pictures. And I've looked it up and it's like, yeah, it's just Apple is so gd proprietary of their craft that they do not want you using it on any other platform other than the ones you buy from them. For the most part, Yes, you can do fire stick. I just don't you have one of those or I do have one of those, but whatever, it doesn't matter. But I

got it. A few a couple of months ago, because I'm a massive fan of the Band of Brothers, the Pacific, those Spielberg Hank shows about World War Two, while they dropped a Band of Brothers, which is the most recent one, and it went from HBO to Apple TV. I wanted to watch it, went ahead and subscribed to Apple TV, and I finished

that over the weekend. So I'm like, cool, I'm done. But man, there was something on there that I'm like, I got to watch this, and it's called Manhunt or either one of you familiar with the concept of this. No, so we all love or a lot of people love crime shows, crime show dramas to where you really get an in depth look at the investigation of say a serial killer, a murderer, or somebody that

pulls. We watched documentaries on it. It's pretty much the most popular thing when it comes to entertainment, and including podcasts, Like the most popular podcasts in the world are true crime podcasts. This is I do too true crime? Imagine this Okay, this is a true crime series about the investigation of a murder. The murder is of President Lincoln, whoa come on, so

it's not a documentary long time ago. It is a It is a dramatized mini series limited series, and it basically follows this when you know everything leading up to it. But by the end of episode one, Kennedy's dead, so they're going to spend the next however, many five, six seven episodes investigating the conspiracy and how that all played out. The planning that went involved them investigating the crime scene with what resources they had in eighteen sixty three.

It's incredible. I've watched one episode and I it was a shame. It was ten thirty last night and I had to go to bed because I guarantee you if I just started this yesterday morning, I'd be done with it. It's so good and you'll recognize actors in it. I believe Patton Oswald's in it. There's a dude that's in every damn British crime show ever who's in it, and he plays obviously an American in this. But I had no idea about a lot of this stuff. I didn't know that this was a

coordinated coup to try to knock out our entire government. Oh really, there was an attempt on the Secretary of State's life that night. There was an attempt on the vice president's life that night, and John Wilkes Booth had co conspirators. I had no idea. I learned all of this in episode one. Well I didn't, dude, it's so good. I thought it was just the one pop. He had a lot of help. I went to, uh, all right, cool. I went to on a Lincoln tour

of all that stuff. Sof Ford Theater I'm still standing right. Well, actually, I don't even remember if I saw FOURD Theater. I know he went to the Peterson House. That's the house across the street where Lincoln actually died. Like they took him and they took us up to the bed that Lincoln died in. That's crazy. And they're like, yeah, that's still his blood on the pillow. And it's like a pillow with like a acrylic case over the top whatever, yeap you can be. It's basically faded out

completely. But they're like, no, look, look closer. You can see a little bit of blood. And I'm like, I don't really, I don't really see anything. And it's pretty wild to, you know, to understand forensics that they had back then, which were nothing really blasting crimes in eighteen sixty three, the guy leading the investigation is the Secretary of War. And by all accounts, if this you know this show is accurate, which I believe they probably did, you know their due diligence on it at

and Oswald And yeah it's accurate. Yeah. Well, the guy that plays the Secretary of War was also I guess one of Lincoln's closest friends and confidants. But dude, I cannot tell you how how much fun this is to watch that. Yeah, it's so good. It's brand new, like in the last couple of weeks. Well, paying for Apple. Yeah, get on a broke gapp in three months? So he got a place chase. Oh, they just went away from it. Yeah, there's a police chase

east of the just that's happening now. Yeah, maybe someone was going to rob your house. So how much sex did you guys have this weekend? Uh? Oh, I mean that was a joke. Question pret good about? Yeah, you want to know how many times? Or do you want to know how to count the orgasms? There's four different places that I can orgasm. Let's say this is a hard place. It's a hard question to answer. Go ahead, Mike, I wasn't saying anything. Oh, you're

good. I saw Mike after the show Friday. Yeah, this is important. This is the most important thing in the world. Hit it. No, no, don't. If you are seeing the police chase that is, allegedly, according to ABC five, happening right now on I thirty, we might have to tell hockey. I was just on I thirty. Well, yeah, they've been off for a few days, so we actually have a you know, we'll handle them later when they get back down, you know, playing games. If you are, you can call in if you see

it. But also I thirty East chase happening. That's badass. Friday after the show, I take an altoe up to Frisco because they were breaking ground at Rollertown, and then Mike and Christina walk up. That's great, drinking beers, drinking Bruski's Danny with your friends. That's a brewery that Ben Skinner invested, and you can play with their balls. But sure enough, on a stage there's the great Dirk Tory Hunter Matt Kemp who Travis Frederick Matt Kemp

under reportedly had Rihanna. That's what we told Christina to get her interested. That was definitely reported. No, they were No, I mean it's talking about it now because he's been out of the league in five blush years. They were official. That was yeah, absolutely yeah, because he got real sick, Like everybody started to figure out who he was was that he was

the sexiest thing out there. But he also was putting up MVP caliber numbers for the Dodgers, and I think he would drive your fantasy team to a season long victory. Twelve years ago. Matt Kemp would, but no one cared about his accolades. He was not only dating but the the hot tub photographs that we all know. First of all, nice Ef a nice guy. Yeah, you ever see him and talk to him? Geez, just

normal dude hangs out up here. I thought for a stage packed with that many legends that in my head, I was like, what Matt Kemp's not, He's not the star up there. E mc granny, Dirk's on the same stage. But I'm like, that's Matt efan Camp, Travis Frederick of Dallas Cowboys fame, and uh, the bearded one that's Travis No, no, no, the other Oh Tyler from Dude Perfect Yeah, Dude perfect man was up there. Okay, I've never met any Due Perfect people. I

like him. I admire the hell out of them. I'm jealous of what they did. They took like stoner games that you play in your we all played in dorm rooms and crap and turn it into tens of millions of dollars. I think anyone who hates on Dude Perfect is very jealous of what they pulled off. Maybe not, I don't know. And it's geared toward kids, like it's not for to entertains. For us, it's fine, who

cares. They're local, they're doing great. But that day I was like, I need to talk to that dude because he had just gotten off a plane from Australia where he was on the grid at the F one race last weekend, and I'm like, I might need to whip this dude who I've never met before about F one And he's the only one I never really got the chance to talk to. He left in his giant truck, a big ass trug, white truck with large wheels. Did it have nuts hanging from

the back of it. Didn't see the back of it, Like he's Dack's neighbor. Like they turned that into that. Yeah, God, that's awesome. The world. They live in his nuts and it's crazy. A thirteenth member. He's kind of their uh dude perfect, well dude there, they're one of their other there guys now used to be when I worked at the Fan was like sport report update guy. He was the Steve Carbone. Oh really of the fan Okay, okay, gay Steve. Yeah, he turned

it into dude perfect other guy. He's a great dude. But the point is also the Tyler's there. I was sitting there in the back kind of just kind of standing watching, you know, Ben and Skinner holding the mic and giving the you know, and John Daniels comes and hey, what's up. I was like, aren't you supposed to be on stage? I think he was late? He goes, now, I'm good back here. I did see it was where John Daniel was just kind of standing in the crowd

with us. Yeah, maybe late. I think I think he'd get there a little late, but I don't think he wanted to be on stage with the other Mega investors. You know, that's one cool dude, John Daniels. So all those celebs were there to break ground at the new Rollertown headquarters. Yeah yeah, yeah, the brand new Brewery in Frisco Main Street, Frisco, east of where the soccer stadium is. And are these people no pun intended, that have skin in the game or okay, yeah, they're

all investors in in Rollertown in some form. Okay, yeah. It looks efing awesome too. I mean, the play's gonna be huge. I don't know it's it looks massive, but yes, just to stare at Dirk standing there on the stage and cars are going by, and then they would double take and lay on their horn. Yeah, like Jesus, there's Dirk. It was fun. I was like, I'm glad, glad I went because

I almost didn't go because I didn't get invited till late. But like it was, it was great, and that's gonna be awesome that they're opening in June twenty twenty five. And there's big right up in w FAA. I know some people sit there in Good Point. Oh we talk about Rollertown. Well, they also Rolltown Pace for you know we talked about. So they all lined up with their gold shovels, you know, and they took the first Do you think that's where they're really going to start the construction, like

they are actually going here. I actually, honestly, I do stopping. I do think it's that air more. Yeah, the foreman's up to the side like a couple more. No, it's not one and done, Dirk. I have six pro athletes. These guys are strong right backs. Make a hole, dude. We don't barely know what we're doing. It's on the same train track by like where the one in Solana is now, it's on the same train track. Yes, down, since I think it actually is the spot that I thought it too, So I was like, how

much do those shelves cost? Because I would need a new shovel. You probably could have snag one and disappeared. Okay, Now I have something that happened on Saturday that is pretty interesting. Can we talk about that in a minute? And most important thing is the word Dirk struted off the stage. I had a moment with him. I saw a photograph and didn't he look like he was having fun? Yes? Why wouldn't he? He's hanging out with you. You're a fun guy, Mikey. What did I say that

cracked Dirk Novitsky up? Nothing? Snag pitees it's working next on the best episode we've ever done. On the freak
