00:05Where he was like saying like,

00:06And he was like explaining
00:07how he was gonna scam all these people again.

01:22for 10% off your first month.
01:25Topic number one.
01:27The king rules again.
01:30LeBron James, the founding father.
01:32That title is no longer Alex Cooper.
01:34It is LeBron James.
01:3550,000 point club.
01:36Lakers are in second place.
01:38They're fucking cooking right now.
01:40Staples Center was packed with celebrities
01:42to watch this happen.
01:43Luka said he could get to 70,000 points.
01:45I think it's gonna be Lakers Celtics in the finals.
01:48I said it about a month ago.
01:50It's shaping up.
01:50LeBron's final swan song.
01:53He comes back to the East Coast
01:55to the team that gave him hell
01:56throughout the late 2010s-ish, mid-2010s.
02:00Regardless, 50,000 points.
02:02Rico, Vibs, what do you think?
02:03So I actually think it's definitely
02:05an impressive type of thing and it's groundbreaking.
02:07He's the first guy to do it.
02:09But once he broke the scoring record,
02:11isn't everything else kind of cherries and sprinkles
02:14in terms of the ice cream?
02:15Who did he beat for scoring record?
02:17Wilt?
02:18Yeah.
02:19No, no, no.
02:20Kareem, Kareem, Kareem.
02:21What was the scoring record?
02:22That was like a while ago.
02:22It was like 39,000 or something like that
02:25I know, but it's like once you break the scoring record,
02:28of course you're gonna be the first guy to 50,000.
02:30You know what I mean?
02:31But that's a long way away.
02:3239,000 to 50,000.
02:33Yeah, 11,000 is a lot.
02:34You're right.
02:35I think in my entire CYO basketball career,
02:38I maybe had 14 points.
02:39And that was eight years long.
02:41But that feels good.
02:42It does feel good.
02:43I mean, I think, look, I mean,
02:46he just won player of the month for February.
02:48Not that that really is an accolade that matters at all.
02:50No, it's crazy.
02:51He's 40 years old and he's a top five player in the NBA.
02:53It's like JJ Redd's press conference.
02:54He's like, this guy is a billionaire.
02:57He's 40 years old and he's playing.
02:59He's not as explosive, but what he lacks in his explosiveness,
03:02see, I can talk sports too.
03:03He makes up for in basketball IQ.
03:05I think he's currently the best player in the league.
03:07I think he's making the MVP run.
03:08It's a longevity thing.
03:09Like he's 40 and he's playing insane.
03:12Tom Brady, like he made his whole personality
03:14like eating healthy and like doing like weird shit.
03:16Is LeBron like doing cryo shit?
03:18He does this, he's the same thing.
03:20He just doesn't talk about it.
03:21Right.
03:21He's just in the fucking,
03:23I also think it's easier like for a basketball player
03:26to kind of hide that.
03:28Like football, your body gets beat the fuck up.
03:30Right.
03:31And LeBron said he could play five, six more years
03:32at a high level.
03:33I hope he fucking does.
03:35I don't know.
03:36Yeah, it's sad whenever they like retire.
03:37Like, I don't know, I'm still holding on
03:39to like Eric Gordon and Mike Conley.
03:41Like they're like the last players that like,
03:43they were a year before me in high school.
03:46And like once they retire, it's like, I'm old.
03:47These kids are all like 23 years old
03:49making millions of dollars.
03:51I'm not looking forward to it.
03:52Yeah, I think LeBron was one of the first ones
03:54where it's like, I saw his whole career, you know?
03:56Yep.
03:57You got to see his whole career.
03:58And now everybody, you get to see their whole career.
04:00So it's like, why I say that?
04:01But like a superstar like that.
04:03Was he 2003?
04:05Three, 2003 draft.
04:06Do you remember that?
04:07Remember when he was on?
04:08No, I remember his games in high school.
04:11You got word they were airing them on ESPN, certain game.
04:14I think they did like two or three that year.
04:16And it was like, you gotta be in front of the TV
04:18to watch this.
04:19You gotta watch this game.
04:20You gotta grab his tattoos.
04:21Yeah, he had the chosen one at age 17.
04:25He had the Hummer fiasco.
04:25I was just going to say that.
04:27Which was there was, they were selling t-shirts
04:28in Cleveland that said, I got a Hummer from LeBron's mom.
04:32Because he, like, I guess spent the money on the Hummer.
04:36A Hummer in 2003 was like 50 grand,
04:39which was a fuck ton of money in age two.
04:40But he said a reporter in the parking lot came up to him
04:43and was like, how'd you afford this Hummer?
04:45And I wish it was a clip somewhere.
04:46Maybe it doesn't exist.
04:47Might be in my head.
04:48Where he turns to the reporter and he's like, bro,
04:51I just signed a $90 million Nike contract.
04:52I'm not worried about it.
04:53No, this was before.
04:54He got the Hummer in high school,
04:55before the $90 million deal.
04:57Got it, okay.
04:58So that's what it was.
04:58But the point was, everyone was freaking out.
05:00How does a high school kid get into this?
05:01What the mother did-
05:03He's got money to cover himself on credit.
05:04Yeah, I'm good.
05:06She's like, well, the company was like,
05:07we'll roll the dice.
05:08And then they're the ones who got to sell the Hummer to LeBron.
05:10She walked in with the cover of Sports Illustrated
05:12and said, I have no money,
05:13or I don't have enough to pay for it in full.
05:15What would, will you give it to us on a line of credit?
05:18Yeah.
05:19I'll be the guy who gives LeBron the Hummer.
05:20Right.
05:21And then if I get beat on the payments, okay.
05:24But I'm willing to say he's going to be all right.
05:25It was a reddish orange Hummer.
05:28I thought that was the coolest fucking thing
05:30when he did that.
05:31It was gray.
05:32Was it?
05:32I don't know.
05:33The Hummer was such a flex back in the early 2000s.
05:35Oh, do you remember that?
05:37Hummer 1 is a gas cuzzler,
05:39but Hummer 1, to me, I prefer over Hummer 2.
05:42Oh, you're right, it is gray.
05:43Hummer 2 got more notoriety,
05:45but I think Hummer 1 is pretty sick.
05:46And then the Libs won with the Hummer 3.
05:49The H3, yeah.
05:50They made it smaller, made it gas efficient.
05:52Yeah, he also got in trouble
05:53for some jerseys in high school.
05:55Like same thing, a throwback store walked
05:57and was like, yeah, we'll eat the $400.
05:59Just say where you got it from.
06:01And the whole world is coming to buy them from us.
06:03Like, yeah.
06:04I genuinely think, and I hope I'm right,
06:07because it would be great for the company
06:09to make some beat LA shirts.
06:10But I mean, it's lining up.
06:13He's got his kid playing with him.
06:14He says he wants his kid.
06:16He wants to like go deep into the playoffs with his kid.
06:18It could fucking, I don't know.
06:21That'd be cool as a dad,
06:22but like that's the biggest scam of all time.
06:24For a Celtics fan?
06:26But also you said it'd be good for the company,
06:28the NBA, right?
06:29You and Adam Silver, like.
06:30Good for this company too, yeah.
06:31But Adam Silver's like just wringing his hands together.
06:34Like, oh, thank God, the Lakers are good.
06:36NBA and Barstool Sports.
06:37He doesn't want OKC and Cleveland to be in the finals.
06:41No, I don't even care about Denver.
06:43Denver, no, no.
06:44Like I don't give a fuck.
06:45I'm just saying Denver's a big market.
06:46Like I consider Denver kind of a small market team.
06:48Still a small market.
06:49Yeah, like I don't.
06:50We watched them win two years ago.
06:53Like when we were filming that show in Colorado
06:54and I was like in the bar while we were watching it.
06:57No one even cared.
06:58They're like, all right, hockey's on.
06:59I was like, what?
07:00Everyone in Denver is just a transplant
07:01and all they care about is like being outside.
07:03You can't say trans anymore.
07:04Oh, right, right, right.
07:06Yeah, I don't know.
07:07I mean, I'd love, I'd like to see LeBron go deep
07:09just for selfishly, I mean, as a Celtics fan.
07:12Yeah, the other element to this too is like,
07:14Dave now sits courtside at the finals.
07:17Like he was going at Kyrie.
07:18Kyrie was one thing, he had the beef,
07:20but like LeBron is LeBron
07:21and that would bring back like all of it.
07:23Like imagine if he's sitting courts
07:24because the Celtics will give him courtside.
07:26Pierce would try and play.
07:27Yeah.
07:28Pierce would be like, I need a two-week contract.
07:31Yeah, that would be, I gotta rush.
07:33That would be interesting because LeBron,
07:35I don't know, it's weird.
07:36Like I guess we get wrapped up in the Barstool bubble.
07:38Like I think LeBron knows who he is.
07:41LeBron was dunking back on Gottlieb
07:43because Gottlieb said weird things about him.
07:45Like, I think he knows who Dave is.
07:46That would be an interesting dynamic.
07:48He definitely knows.
07:49And I think LeBron has like become more confident and more,
07:53like I don't view LeBron as a threat to the Celtics
07:56the same way I did when he was in Miami or Cleveland.
07:58I just don't.
07:59Yeah.
08:00Like he's older, he's, it's not,
08:01there's not the same competitiveness.
08:03It's much more player on player versus team versus team.
08:05So.
08:06Yeah.
08:07I would say it's fair to say he does know who he is.
08:09Yeah.
08:10He might not know the whole history,
08:11but I think he's very aware.
08:12His self-awareness has grown.
08:14Speaking of self-awareness,
08:15we had a U14 triple-A hockey team
08:20beat their opponent 43 to zero.
08:22U14, so kids under 14, triple-A,
08:24that's like the highest level of hockey you can play.
08:2614 is probably what, eighth grade, something like that?
08:29Seventh, eighth grade?
08:3014, yeah, about eighth grade.
08:32I love it.
08:32Fucking foot on the gas, skate on the neck.
08:37Give these kids a game.
08:38Neither team will forget.
08:41It's the old Miami in the Miami U documentary.
08:44If you don't like us dancing, keep us out of the end.
08:46There we go.
08:47Yeah, I got no problem with it.
08:48I mean, the coach is obviously a fucking scum.
08:49Like I remember playing basketball.
08:51We would get, our coach would tell us,
08:52like if we were winning a lot, like a lot,
08:55and it happened rarely for him to be like back off.
08:57But there are times where we would get smoked
09:01and like they would keep going.
09:02And playing in those games where you were getting
09:05like beat down was so demoralizing
09:08because your parents are there.
09:10The coach doesn't know what to do.
09:12This is probably, if they're up 43,
09:13oh, they probably have their fucking fourth liners out there
09:16and they're just having fun.
09:17And I guess it all depends on how they act.
09:19I don't know.
09:21I say keep the starters in.
09:22Don't even rest them for the next game.
09:24Worry about that.
09:25Just fucking, yeah, you said foot on the gas.
09:27Dude, hockey is a sport that I,
09:30I would not want my kids to play hockey.
09:32Why not?
09:335 a.m.
09:34Oh, that, yeah.
09:34I was a Zamboni driver for years.
09:36100%.
09:37Yeah, you totally are.
09:38Shout out Veterans Memorial Arena.
09:40Fucking Brucey and Kenny Bertone kid.
09:42How do the, Pirelli way.
09:43How do those handle on the ice?
09:44Are they easy to control?
09:45Oh, you're gonna go about two and a quarter
09:48turn up over the crease.
09:49Shut off the wash water,
09:50which will be running at about 120
09:51cause you don't wanna flood it, right?
09:53Go around the corners.
09:53You're gonna clear out the vertical auger.
09:55I mean, of course now there's a laser system,
09:57but I mean, if you change a blade about every two weeks,
09:59it'll be fine.
10:00I could make a sheet at MSG
10:01that would blow people's fucking tops off.
10:04Yeah, the 5 a.m. practice is rough.
10:06And then you got all the equipment here.
10:08They have to lug around.
10:10Swimming, I would never want my kid to do that
10:11cause you have, again, 5 a.m. practice.
10:13And it's gay.
10:14Yeah, yeah, the Speedos.
10:16Just for context too.
10:18The shaving, the Speedos.
10:19For context too, I grew up playing,
10:22I grew up playing hockey in this area
10:23and the teams that played Little Caesars and Bell Tire,
10:26those are like, I'd imagine they're like rivals.
10:29Like those like the two in the area that like kids,
10:32like kids in Northwest Ohio who are like good,
10:34like you went and played for like Little Caesars
10:36or Bell Tire.
10:37So that, yeah.
10:38They ranked the score on their rival?
10:39Maybe a little something like that.
10:40Yeah, you have to do that.
10:43Also, youth sports don't matter.
10:46None of this, youth, no, sorry Rico,
10:48I know we're a fan of youth basketball.
10:50I doesn't really like,
10:53how many of these kids are gonna go pro?
10:54What are we gonna cut?
10:55You can cut that right there.
10:56No, no, no, there's a, yeah, I mean,
10:57the percentage is like 4% in pretty much every sport.
11:024% go Division I or 4% play in college, yeah.
11:04And you watch people just go absolute batshit every night
11:07and fuck it, whatever.
11:08And it's like, it's not gonna matter.
11:09Did you see the fight at the cheerleaders competition
11:12in Dallas between these cheer moms?
11:14Oh my God.
11:15They beat the fuck, it's always the women
11:18who are more vicious, like for the parents.
11:20Yeah, I don't know.
11:22You got your like Randy Marshes out there
11:24that are just like trying to fight everyone
11:25at Little League, right?
11:26There was, I might be flying too close to the sun here,
11:28but there was a little bit of a beef
11:31or a big beef on Staten Island.
11:33They had to buy, they all wore the same sneakers
11:39for cheerleading.
11:40And it was one of those, they were custom where they had,
11:43I remember them, it's nuts.
11:44Is that Zelinsky?
11:45They were Nikes and they had, or whatever they were,
11:48they had two stars on the shoe.
11:50It was a completely white shoe, but two stars right here.
11:53And you could slide in the inserts of your team's colors.
11:56So if you were blue and red,
11:57you get the little thing blue and red.
11:58Blue and yellow, so our school was blue and yellow,
12:00so they slid it in.
12:01They were like, whatever they were, $75 a pair,
12:04$65 a pair for each cheerleader.
12:07However it comes out, the one mom who's a sweetheart
12:09is collecting the money for the sneakers.
12:12She also is pretty well-to-do.
12:13She probably bought quietly six or seven pairs
12:16for other parents who were like, we'll pay you back
12:19or don't worry about it, whatever.
12:20Because that's what you don't think about is people,
12:22my parents hated having to get anything sports related,
12:26like any sport that had a cost associated with it,
12:28because you just don't know.
12:29So she's a sweetheart, probably bought six or seven pairs,
12:32including her own daughters.
12:33One of the moms goes off the handle and is like,
12:35there's money missing or like, whatever, whatever,
12:37like accusing, whatever.
12:38So then they have a big meeting with the people
12:42and ultimately the directors of the youth parish and shit,
12:47are like, the guy's like, you call my wife a liar?
12:49Or the woman's like, you call me a liar?
12:51And my husband has no qualms.
12:53He goes, yeah, they are.
12:55And didn't care.
12:56He just wanted to get the fuck out of the meeting.
12:58She shows up at the practice and apparently
13:00the word on the street was that she said,
13:03she dropped her off at practice
13:05and they're all in a circle getting ready to go.
13:06And she's like, if any of these bitches says a one word
13:09to you, let me know.
13:10I'll smack them right in the face.
13:11They're like, all right, man,
13:12you're out of the fucking parish.
13:13That's the most Staten Island way to fucking.
13:16They threw her out.
13:17Unreal, unreal.
13:19Also unreal, Billy McFarland, known scumbag,
13:22known scam artist, known piece of shit.
13:26Fire Festival thief, dirtbag loser,
13:29has started Fire Festival too.
13:31Allegedly, this is also a scam.
13:32It was supposed to be on some Island in Mexico.
13:34The place in Mexico, it's like Isla Mujeres or something.
13:38They're like, we have no fucking idea.
13:42Anyone who read, but my,
13:43I actually respect McFarland to this sense.
13:46Anyone who bought these tickets, like,
13:47dude, it's shame on you.
13:48It's the same thing.
13:49I wrote that blog about that lady who was getting nailed
13:52for photos.
13:53She would go to photos.
13:54She would give excuses.
13:55They would pay her for the photography.
13:57She wouldn't show it shit.
13:58And the one girl was like,
13:59well, I kind of saw something that,
14:00oh, it was a little shady,
14:02or she had left on other people.
14:03It's like, yo, it's on you, dude.
14:04It's your wedding.
14:05Anyone who bought these tickets is an idiot.
14:07Wasn't there a documentary like follow-up
14:09where he was like saying like,
14:10yeah, I'm going to do a Fire Fest too.
14:11And he was like explaining how he was going to scam
14:14all these people again.
14:14But they're like, aren't you just doing the same thing?
14:16He's like, hmm, I guess I am.
14:18But I don't know.
14:19It's going to be different this time.
14:20It's almost like people are almost going to it as a bit.
14:23Yeah, they want to get scammed.
14:25I think people want to go get scammed at this point.
14:28Because then they look, I could create the TikTok,
14:29I could whatever.
14:30He was in jail, right?
14:31Yeah.
14:32He boxes like a block away.
14:33Who, Billy?
14:34I've seen him multiple times.
14:35Rough and Billy, Rough and Rowdy, dude.
14:37I know you watch this every day.
14:38Come to Rough and Rowdy.
14:39Someone here will beat you up.
14:41Yeah.
14:42Yeah, him and like Ja Rule almost went to jail
14:43because he was in on it too.
14:45Yeah.
14:46Insane.
14:47Armie Hammer, who we all know torpedoed his career
14:53and life by essentially getting caught
14:55allegedly being a cannibal,
14:58now gives another big time weirdo interview
14:59where it says he tried to hook up with guys
15:02after downloading Grindr, but couldn't get hard.
15:06I will say, happens to the best of us.
15:09Is this him trying to seem like he's like a normal person?
15:11Like him trying to like dig,
15:12he's only digging himself deeper,
15:13but he's like, yeah, I'm a normal guy.
15:14He went viral for this.
15:15Did the cannibal thing get like confirmed?
15:17Cannibal is when you eat other people, correct?
15:19He said he was just so like fucked up on drugs.
15:21Like people do weird shit when they're on drugs,
15:24from what I hear.
15:26He was so fucked up on drugs.
15:27He was doing all this like weird shit.
15:29I don't know if it was confirmed,
15:30but the text messages leaked.
15:32But the problem is with Armie Hammer
15:33is you put a microphone in front of this guy,
15:34he's gonna talk no matter what.
15:37The last podcast he did, his mother was on there
15:39who is arguably the coldest woman on earth
15:42saying she got him a vasectomy for his 38th birthday.
15:45So I think-
15:46This is the Armie Hammer is the Winklevoss guy
15:49from social networks?
15:50He's like a good looking guy.
15:51He's tall.
15:52He's like, why wouldn't you just live a normal,
15:53like go to a bar, pick up chicks,
15:56drink some high noons, go back to your room, gamble.
15:57Amen, brother.
15:58Just be fucking normal, dude.
15:59Everything he's doing is a fucking whack job.
16:01Cannibal?
16:02His family, isn't his family like very well off?
16:06Yeah, so his dad was like the CEO of Arm and Hammer.
16:12Really?
16:12But the thing is, he didn't start Arm and Hammer.
16:17He essentially got hired,
16:18I think because his name was Michael Arm and Hammer.
16:22Yeah?
16:24He ended up running Arm and Hammer.
16:25That's insane.
16:26Yeah, so ridiculous.
16:28What a way to, yeah, what a way to hire someone.
16:30Yeah, he's-
16:30But yeah, he's got a super rich family.
16:32Like he's-
16:33I mean, yeah.
16:33His dad looks like a Bond villain.
16:35Yeah.
16:36I would have like a private island where he sends-
16:37Yeah, but also celebrities,
16:40it's like you hear about how Leonardo DiCaprio
16:42allegedly like he puts headphones on when he fucks.
16:45A lot of these guys have so much sex,
16:47and maybe the ladies do,
16:49that they just have to like spice it up.
16:51Yeah, they gotta just-
16:52Like vagina must just get bored.
16:54Like vagina alone just must get boring after a while.
16:57Did it get boring to you?
16:58The ax winning?
16:59Yeah, the second I saw it,
17:00it was the most boring thing in the world.
17:03Second ad.
17:06Stella Blue Coffee.
17:07Yeah, I'm not an Arm and Hammer fan.
17:09If I were him, I would.
17:10He was also a travel agent in like the Caribbean
17:12for a while.
17:13So people would go, like they'd show up to this travel agency
17:15and it would just be Arm and Hammer
17:16sitting there like planning vacations.
17:17As he was a celebrity, he was doing it?
17:19This is like two years ago.

18:00Is that it?
18:01Great purpose through great choice.
18:03What else do we have going on here?
18:05Rest in peace, Around the Horn, thank God,
18:07which will go off the air after 23 years.
18:10Boring, boring, boring.
18:11You don't like Around the Horn?
18:12Should've went off the air five years ago.
18:14I think it's, yeah, I think this-
18:15What did you like about it?
18:16I don't like the fact that Tony Reilly brings his dad on.
18:19I don't like when people bring,
18:20I don't like when people-
18:21Tony Reilly brought his dad on?
18:23Wasn't that, who would bring his dad on all the time?
18:25No, no, you're thinking of the guy from Miami.
18:28Well, in this show,
18:29didn't someone bring their dad on all the time?
18:31No. I don't think so.
18:32What's the guy's name?
18:35Tony Reilly, double check it, John.
18:37Dan Levitard, yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:38Staten Island guy.
18:40Something wrong about bringing your dad on?
18:41Pretty sure.
18:42Don't fucking trash Tony Reilly.
18:44Yeah, Tony Reilly, I like Tony Reilly.
18:44Let me look at the other one one sec.
18:46Staten Island guy, pretty sure.
18:48Yeah, I don't like him.
18:50Yeah, he would bring his dad on.
18:52Giuseppe, that's the most Italian name of all time.
18:54Oh, you know who I'm thinking of?
18:55What's his name, Woody?
18:56Does anything call him?
18:57Woody Page?
18:58Yeah.
18:59Woody Page is still on it.
19:00I don't know.
19:01He is about a thousand years old.
19:03Yeah.
19:04He's still doing the chalkboard bit.
19:05I don't like how his mouth is the entire screen.
19:07Yeah, Woody Page has grown on me.
19:09I like Woody Page, he's, you know.
19:11The only guy I didn't like was like,
19:12was it Jay Mariotti?
19:13No, the guy from Chicago.
19:15The problem is there's-
19:16J.D. Adande?
19:17No, no, J.D. Adande's good.
19:18There's too many Italians on this show.
19:19No.
19:20Kalasha?
19:21Kalasha rules.
19:22No, it was like, he got fired
19:24for doing something kind of sketchy.
19:26Okay.
19:27He was a Chicago guy.
19:28I will say 23 years is a long time.
19:30So I think this is very much,
19:31I think PTI and Around the Horn
19:33are very much Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune.
19:36And there's the divide in America.
19:38You're either Wheel of Fortune house
19:40or you're a Jeopardy house.
19:40Yeah.
19:41I was Jeopardy on both sides.
19:44Grew up with my parents watching Jeopardy
19:45and then I watched PTI, loved PTI.
19:47I always thought Around the Horn was gimmicky.
19:50It also, the fucking sound effects was way too loud.
19:52I hated that.
19:53The sound effect was way too loud.
19:54Woody Page was too much.
19:55He was off the rails.
19:56And then it was just kind of,
19:58it wasn't for me.
19:59I never watched it,
20:00but there were times,
20:02there were definitely times where you tuned in.
20:03Yeah.
20:04You know what I mean?
20:05I never went out of my way to watch it,
20:06but like, all right, last 15 minutes,
20:07I'm sitting early.
20:08Like, I don't want to miss PTI,
20:09let me put it on.
20:10Yeah, I liked PTI much better.
20:12It was, again, like it was-
20:13It was well-produced.
20:14Yeah.
20:15And it was informative.
20:16You knew exactly what you were going to get.
20:17And they hit every topic.
20:18And it was just like-
20:20Like, I thought PTI,
20:21there was never a show like that
20:22where it was like conversation-based.
20:25Like, SportsCenter would do highlights.
20:26And so like PTI was kind of groundbreaking
20:29in the sense it was highlight-based.
20:30And the same thing with Around the Horn.
20:32Like it was, or conversation-based, I should say.
20:35I just, I guess I just didn't,
20:37I guess what it really comes down to is
20:38I don't like the little arrows,
20:39which makes me not like the whole show.
20:41They bother me for some reason.
20:43The points meaning nothing was tough.
20:46I don't know.
20:47I don't celebrate guys' wins and stuff like that.
20:49Yeah.
20:49I, yeah.
20:51What is it?
20:52Pardon the interruption though.
20:53I still, I still watch.
20:54I record it.
20:55Dude, but they're getting up there.
20:55I record it too.
20:56Really?
20:57Yes.
20:58I haven't watched it in a long time.
20:59I'll go home and I'll like make dinner.
21:00And I'm like, there's nothing on.
21:01And I'm waiting for like basketball to start.
21:02And I'll just watch it.
21:02It's just like a comfort thing hearing them.
21:04Cause I'm, you go home from school.
21:05You get home from practice.
21:07It's on.
21:08You watch it.
21:09I don't know.
21:10When it goes, it's like players retiring.
21:12When it goes off the air, it's like, fuck.
21:14I'm getting old.
21:17I'm getting old.
21:18The guy I grew up in is dead.
21:18And I'll say too, those guys, they're looking old too.
21:21Oh man.
21:22Like the past couple of years, especially.
21:23I'm like, how much longer are they going to do this?
21:26Yeah.
21:27I think they're great.
21:28Also the, pardon the interruption.
21:31They're never there.
21:32They're like, you know, fucking Tony Kornheimer's
21:35on vacation every, he's in for like one day.
21:39Yeah.
21:39They're Zooming too.
21:40I think it changed when they weren't in the studio though.
21:43Zoom always, the quality is usually bad
21:45but they do a good job of the, I think, I don't know.
21:48They're so used, or maybe I'm just used to it.
21:50What is that Memorial Day weekend?
21:52You know who did a better job with the show
21:54when it changed hands?
21:56I'm not like a big Ryan Seacrest guy.
21:58He made Wheel of Fortune so much better.
22:02Really?
22:03He walked in, he was like,
22:03why are we doing like a hundred dollar prizes here?
22:06All the money value went up.
22:08Like they have segments.
22:10I'm a big Seacrest guy now just because of that.
22:12There's the first season of American Idol.
22:15There's a guy, it was Seacrest
22:16and a guy named Brian Dunkelman.
22:18Yeah.
22:19And Dunkelman was like, yeah, I don't see this catching on.
22:21And he like bailed from American Idol.
22:22And now Seacrest is like the most.
22:24Seacrest is a billionaire.
22:25The richest man alive.
22:26Yeah.
22:27And Dunkelman made my sandwich at Subway this afternoon.
22:28Dunkelman, yeah.
22:29No, Dunkelman's doing standup still.
22:31And he's just like, yeah, I'm not bitter.
22:33It worked out great.
22:34Do you think they should stay,
22:35you think Around the Horn should stay on the air
22:36with new hosts or they just kill it and put something else?
22:38Yeah, yeah.
22:39You gotta let it go.
22:40Yeah, I wish Tony Reale had more of like a,
22:42I'd like to hear his opinions.
22:44Yeah, I take back the Tony Reale slander.
22:47Staten Island guy.
22:48Staten Island guy.
22:49Do we have any other topics?
22:50Anything for the after show?
22:51Kevin Clancy is 40 years old.
22:53Tomorrow.
22:54Tomorrow, happy birthday KFC.
22:55It's Ash Wednesday today.
22:56We're all bad Catholics.
22:57Is it Ash Wednesday?
22:58Tony Reale would always go on
23:00with like the ash mark on his head.
23:02And I was like, what's going on?
23:04Kevin's greatest blogs are,
23:07I used to love when he would blog about like church
23:09and about Catholics, the greatest blog.
23:12Those were his great blogs.
23:13Jerry Thornton had some good ones about St. Patrick's day,
23:15but the ashes and the standing up and sitting down
23:18in church where you sit down,
23:19saying W-U-H-M-N-A-H-M-N-A-H-M-N-A.
23:21You sit up, stand down.
23:22It's great, 40 years old.
23:24Crazy, crazy.
23:25Wild night in college last night.
23:26Yeah, what happened?
23:27Number one, Auburn went down.
23:29Iowa State, BYU was into double overtime.
23:32Nebraska, Ohio State was into double overtime.
23:36Did you watch the Hoosiers?
23:37Yeah, the Hoosiers got heartbreak.
23:39Hoosiers got heartbreak.
23:40Yeah, I mean, they fucking,
23:42the rest swallowed their whistle for the fucking Ducks.
23:45I've been watching a lot of basketball lately.
23:47I'm like getting into it.
23:47It's basketball season, yeah.
23:48I don't know why I've resisted watching.
23:51I've just been like, oh, I don't want to watch this game.
23:53But when I put it on, it's like, am I a sports guy?
23:55It's because you won $40,000 last year in bracket buses
23:58and you're trying to get that back.
23:58You're doing your research, you're getting ready.
24:01Me and Kamasa are going, don't give me a top five pick
24:04in that because I'm going back to back.
24:05All these gamblers get old Joey and Pat
24:09and the whole fucking thing.
24:11See, they're doing a halftime show
24:12at the World Cup next year.
24:13Yeah, do we know who the performer is?
24:16Coldplay is involved in choosing it,
24:18but it's not necessarily them.
24:19You like Coldplay?
24:20I think Chris Martin's a class act.
24:22Don't give me rock and roll, or whatever they are,
24:26at a show.
24:27But the World Cup's got like more than twice
24:29the viewers of the Superbowl even, so.
24:32I'm pretty sure there's an interview
24:35where like Chris Martin is like,
24:37yeah, sometimes I just throw lyrics out there
24:39and they don't make any sense, but they rhyme.
24:40And I, you know, it sounds good.
24:42I like Chris Martin.
24:42I don't like that.
24:43Class act.
24:44Saw him New Year's Eve with Jay-Z, it was very good.
24:46They did the Superbowl in San Francisco.
24:48When? Yeah.
24:50Who did, but wasn't that with?
24:51It was like with Beyonce.
24:53There you go.
24:54Yeah.
24:54You need to have a diva in the Superbowl show.
24:55Give me Beyonce, give me Gaga, give me fucking Miley.
24:59Give me any of them.
25:00I think, I don't think Coldplay have like bangers.
25:02You know, who should do it?
25:03The killers.
25:04Like the killers have.
25:05That's too light.
25:06Mr. Brightside.
25:07Coldplay is as white as it gets.
25:08I know, but they.
25:10But the killers have like, like songs where you're like,
25:13oh yeah, I recognize this.
25:14Everybody knows Mr. Brightside.
25:15Yeah.
25:16Like, I don't know.
25:17I think they'd be good.
25:18And they're a little more upbeat.
25:19They're not as like sad and like depressing as Coldplay.
25:22Very fair.
25:23I don't, yeah.
25:24That's the rundown.
25:25All right.
