Dan Bernstein
Dan Bernstein, Unfiltered Unfiltered on 312 Sports. Dan Bernstein, Unfiltered is brought to you in partnership with my bookie. And we are here on this Wednesday with a lot happening in our world. And I want to start with just thanking Victor Wembanyama for an athlete of his standing, literally and figuratively towering above all others, to say what he said yesterday in the way that he said it as softly as he may have in his actual voice is really important. It's great that he did. And the fact that he, with English not being his first language, to do this in a way that provided such context. Thank you, Victor Wembanyama, for saying what you've said, and I hope it gives some cover for others to do. Similarly, that we've heard from retired athletes, we've heard from some others here and there, just in general, about what's happening in the world. I just think it's really cool that he decided against the wishes of his team and maybe his league to go out and say what he said. It takes a lot of guts for a young person who is not from this country, not speaking in his native language to know that he could do something significant and something important. And this was via espn. This was yesterday. Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs.

Victor Wembanyama
PR has tried, but I'm not going to sit here and give some politically correct, you know, I know. I mean, I'm this every day I wake up and see the news and I'm horrified. I think that it's crazy that some people might make it seem like or make it sound like it's acceptable. The murder, like the murder of civilians is acceptable. You know, every day, I mean, I read the news and I'm sometimes I'm asking very deep questions about my own life. But, you know, I'm conscious also that saying everything, you know, that's on my mind would have a cost that's too great for me right now. So it's I'd rather not get into too many details. Is that kind of a big factor in this, that people have that fear that if they speak openly about an injustice, they see there can be repercussions? No, for sure. I mean, it's terrible. You know, I know I'm a foreigner. You know, I live in this country. I am concerned, for sure.
- [03:06]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Is that part of your hesitance, being a foreigner? Does that play into your.
- [03:10]
Victor Wembanyama
Oh, for sure, for sure. I mean, it's. Yeah. Not getting too many, too many details. But, yes, I'm always Proud of, you know, people speaking their mind, no matter the subject, you know, and it's. I think it definitely takes some balls and. But you might have some. Some pricing right now. I mean, each. Each and every one of us has to decide the price, you know, we're willing to pay.
- [03:38]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
And you decided that today. You could have said no comment.
- [03:41]
Victor Wembanyama
Yeah, I think. I think that's enough details, though, for now. You know, if privately, we can discuss it maybe later, but not right now.
- [03:49]
Dan Bernstein
We gotcha, Vic. We gotcha. We got you. That there need to be people in the media who also feel comfortable enough to stand up and say, go ahead, we've got your back. And for him to say saying everything that's on my mind would have a cost. That's too great for me right now. He's begging to be met halfway. That's all he wants. All he wants are some people who know, who understand and are too frightened to come over to him and say, I got you. We can. We can help bring some of this the rest of the way. So. Thanks to Victor Wembanyama for doing that. Thanks to Tyrese Halliburton as he goes through his grueling rehab with the Pacers playing the Bulls tonight. I was thinking about Halliburton and doing what he did. How about Brianna Stewart holding up the sign that she held up that said abolish ice. John Randall. I had no idea. I haven't checked in. I hadn't heard the name John Randall in a long time. I'd heard John Rich since I was standing on the sidelines watching him absolutely dismantle a Bears offensive line with spin moves and backspins and trash talk. And one of the most relentless pass rushers I've ever seen.
- [05:17]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
He was one of my favorites to watch a guy that did not wear.
- [05:21]
Dan Bernstein
A Bears uniform, John Randall. And remember, he would do. He was one of the first guys that did the full face paint. And famously, Randall would go into the opposing team's media guides and find out all these personal details about everybody. He knew your kids names. He knew what high school you went to. He knew the name of your junior high coach. And his trash talk was epic. And he would pick his spots, he'd know the names of your pets. He. And he would. He would get into people verbally and run his mouth the entire game. But in retirement, he's been awesome. He's. John Randall is fantastic. And he had a series of posts that he put up saying many have been scared of backlash, losing friends, losing followers. And he said, but I am saying clearly, I am not okay with reckless violence condoned by the Trump administration. I am not okay with people being murdered in their own communities. I am not okay with people being taken from their homes and families being ripped apart. I am not okay with people being denied due process. And it's all over these photos of him being happy. It's him literally in his. In a Vikings jersey, holding up a pint of beer in his left hand and wearing a purple foam rubber Weir number one Vikings mitt on his right hand, or him smoking a cigar, standing on a golf course, him holding a big stein of something in front of the Butler's pantry in his house that's got a bunch of Gray Goose bottles behind him, and it's all him smiling and posting these things. And I just want to say, good for you. Good for you. And I. And I. And if you're angry about it, shut up and dribble. They shouldn't be talking about it. Yeah, they should. Because athletes are people first and citizens first. And they have. If they have a larger platform because of their athletic achievement, good. They built it, they earned it, they can use it. Same goes for whatever anybody thinks. That's all I ever said about Matt Shaw. Own it. Don't shy from it.
- [07:44]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
You want to.
- [07:44]
Dan Bernstein
You want to say, hey, the government murdering people's good. You want to say that? Go ahead, say it. Put yourself out there. You don't have to take a side. I just, I like the fact that there is that for Victor Wembanyama, of all people, for maybe if you had to say right now in the NBA, if they had to save one person who's the most important single person right now playing basketball, the entire NBA might be that guy. For him to say, PR has tried. PR has tried to tell me to not say this. He's. For him to even say that. For him to make it clear that he was told not to do this, he was advised, do not say these things. And then for Wembanyama to say, saying everything that's on my mind would have a cost that's too great for me right now. I don't think so. I don't think so. We expect Steve Kerr, as always, to be statesmanlike. And because of who he is, because of who his father was, because of his intellect and education and world wisdom, we expect it from some people. I did not expect that Victor Wembanyama to take this time to go out of his way, to stand in front of reporters and say, we have the public relations advisors of this team advise me against this, but I don't care because it's too important. Have at it, man. Go ahead. And if you need amplification on this, I'm happy to amplify because I agree with you.
- [09:34]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
It's interesting, just not knowing the full context of it. I assumed that PR had given him a script or things that they wanted the team to say. I didn't know it was like, hey, you shouldn't say anything or you shouldn't do this. Don't go down this road. When he first said that, when I first heard it, I assumed it was, here's some words to say. We've crafted some things for the team and I thought he was going. Well, I'm not going to say that. I'm going to say what I feel.
- [10:00]
Dan Bernstein
But that may be. And with that organization, however, because of the role of Greg Popovich, that Steve Kerr in large part is Steve Kerr, because of Gregg Popovich. That's another influence on Steve Kerr, right? And Gregg Popovich has forever been on the right side of history. Greg Popovich, as as difficult as he can be and as ornery as he can be, is a dear soul and a really a brilliant man. For the spurs organization to. To not be informed in large part by Gregg Popovich, I think would be underselling them. And even if PR is trying to be careful and trying to keep their players out of trouble and working in good faith and say, like, here's how you can do this. Here's how we suggest you do this so you don't bring the thunder down from bad actors and from people who simply want to place you in a category where you don't necessarily belong or tell you what you can and can't say because they think they get to define it, here's where you can say certain things and he doesn't want that. And he's taking responsibility as an adult and as someone who lives here as a US Resident, if not a US Citizen. And he said all of those things that it might be more difficult for him because he's not from here. I think it matters more. I think it matters more. I think it may, you know, whatever. It reminds me on a different level of when all of the insanity was going on with the White Sox. It was always this somebody from outside. A just arrived free agent who had asked, what the hell is going on here? Why is. Why is Drake LaRoche walking around the clubhouse? What's happened? What is this here? And it took somebody, it took an outsider who has seen other Things, other ways of life, other governments. And maybe he's picked up a history book every once in a while. Maybe he's actually read about things that have happened in our world and where things lead, especially today of all days. And for him to say that is a big deal. And I think he needs whatever minimal public support is out there to say, good job, here's to more. And I think it's my responsibility to at least use this to say that. So I'm going to Good job, Victor Wembanyama and keep talking.
- [12:47]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Yeah. And I don't mean to diminish what he said, because that wasn't the intent. I just, I was just trying to understand the context of it. I fully support what he had to say, but it also, it also made me feel sad. It made me feel really bad that a young person, intelligent, thoughtful person, is concerned about saying things publicly that aren't damaging, that aren't inviting criminal activity. And he's afraid to speak his mind.
- [13:20]
Dan Bernstein
Well, that's why I think it's important.
- [13:22]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
It's something that this government and our freedoms under our Constitution has given all of us. Whether you're a citizen or not, you have the right to speak your mind. And when someone is afraid to speak their mind over executions of U.S. citizens in the streets of America, that's very concerning and it makes me feel very bad. And I will add this too, that Alex Preddy and Renee Goode are not the only individuals that were killed in the month of January and December with interactions with ice. They are not.
- [14:01]
Dan Bernstein
Correct. They were the ones who were most accessible because they were white.
- [14:05]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Correct. And there have been actually eight individuals killed the month of January in interactions with ICE. And in 2025.
- [14:13]
Dan Bernstein
And Border Patrol.
- [14:14]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
And Border Patrol in, in 2025, Dan, more individuals died in ICE detention. It's been the most in one year since 2005.
- [14:24]
Dan Bernstein
Yeah.
- [14:25]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
And you can go back in our history and understand what was happening in 2005. It's not okay. You know, and this whole narrative that the administration has been spoon feeding people, that we need to close the borders, and that there are millions of violent criminals running the streets and we're gonna go gather the worst of the worst. And I support that.
- [14:46]
Victor Wembanyama
Go ahead.
- [14:47]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
I support taking the worst of the worst people off the street, whether they were born here or not, whether they're brown or black or yellow or white. I want all bad people, regardless of their citizenship, off the streets of America. But what they're doing is not that. Why is the intent so focused in the State of Minnesota, where there are 130,000 illegal immigrants. And states like Texas, Florida, Florida have millions. Why are citizens not. First of all, and I'm not, I'm not even gonna do the state by state thing. Just look at the numbers yourself. Go ahead and do that. But an American. And, and, and when the administration is lying on camera while there's video proof of it, how dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. I mean, the president has said people that are educated do not like him. How many more times does this administration that you support and vote for has to call you dumb and say that you're stupid before you wake up and realize that they're talking to you and calling you stupid and calling you dumb? It breaks my heart that we cannot peacefully protest in our country without the fear of possibly being shot or run over by a car or have your car driven into by ICE and Border Patrol. And it breaks my heart to hear that young guy sit there and say, well, I'm afraid to speak out, but I couldn't take it anymore.
- [16:24]
Dan Bernstein
But he did it anyway. He did it anyway. And that's why I felt compelled this morning. The first thing I felt, and I've been seething about this for a while, and it was the very first thing that I felt today, was to say, whatever this is worth, whatever this little podcast is worth. And that's. And that's all. I understand that. I'm not pretending it's anything more than it is, but I'm lucky to have this microphone in front of me right now and to have this opportunity to say, good job, Victor Wembanyama. Good job, Tyrese Halliburton. Good job, John Randall. Good job, Brianna Stewart. Good job, Steve Kerr. And you are citizens, residents, human beings on this planet with an opportunity to say what you think. So go ahead. And if somebody wants to similarly in the same locker room or a different locker room, say, nope, you're wrong. Here's what I think, and I think all this stuff is okay. And I am with ICE and Border Patrol and Greg Bevino and Kristi Noem, and I support everything that they're doing, including executing citizens for peaceful protest and lying about it. Say it. Go ahead. I'm not trying to mute anyone correct or any opinion. If you feel otherwise, you can say otherwise. And that's okay too, right?
- [17:53]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Dan? We had a commenter on one of our YouTube shows, Camera, which show it was or which, which. What day it was. But someone said, God bless ice. Okay, I support. We're doing great, and that's fine. You can have that opinion. You can have that opinion. And, and I'll have my opinion. And that, that's great. And I'll, you know, we can even discuss. Not during the show here for. But you want to email in, I'm fine with that. I support your right to have your opinion, I really do. We can disagree and we will disagree, but I support your right to have that opinion. So on top of that, and I'm glad you're doing this because I've been wanting to talk about this stuff. Don't email me and say, oh, you know, shut up Vaticola. This woke bullshit. Talk sports. Don't do that. Do not do that, please. I support your right to believe what you want to believe. You support my right to believe what I want to believe? Let's start there. Let's start there. But I'm tired as a 53 year old man in this goddamn country, Dan. I'm tired of three things. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of what's happening with Ice and border. I'm tired of watching US citizens being beat and pepper sprayed and shot and killed in prison. They want to peacefully protest their beliefs. The second thing I'm tired of is I'm tired of either dropping my kids off at school or watching them walk to the bus to go to school and wondering, is today the day there's a school shooting at my kids school? I'm fucking tired of it. And I'm tired of people in this country not being able to get the medical and health care that they need because they're not financially wealthy enough. There is a conference going on right now that I have. Someone that I care for is involved in a conference out of a different, in a different state. Someone from their company flew in from another country for this work conference. They had an accident and fell down the stairs. And the fucking hospital they were in said you need to pony up $3,000 before we'll help you because they're a foreigner who doesn't have health insurance here in this country because the country they're in gives them free universal health care. And before they could get treatment at a hospital here in the United States, they were told, we need $3,000 from you up front. What the fuck are we doing?
- [20:11]
Dan Bernstein
Seriously.
- [20:14]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Why are kids still dying of cancer yet we're spending billions and trillions on fucking protecting this country with military when the next 25 countries that spend it spend less than we do. And 24 of those were our allies. I don't know what that is now but what are we doing here? Again, have your beliefs. I support you to believe what you want to believe.
- [20:38]
Dan Bernstein
I really do.
- [20:39]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
I honestly do. But give me that same freedom, that same right. At least.
- [20:43]
Dan Bernstein
At least.
- [20:44]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Let's agree there, please.
- [20:47]
Dan Bernstein
That was Victor wembanyama. That's about 80 seconds of Victor Wembanyama's thoughts. And I hope there are more. And I hope you can understand that it's okay. It's okay for people to say what they think and then you can hear what everybody says. You can decide who's telling the truth and who's lying to you and who is. Who can't wait to treat you like you're stupid and don't know you're being lied to.
- [21:16]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
And you can.
- [21:17]
Dan Bernstein
You can figure that out. But for women, Yama, for Halliburton, for John Randall, for Steve Kerr, for Brianna Stewart. Go ahead. And I. I felt compelled to say that I know what you're talking about. I understand. And when. And it broke my heart too, when he said saying everything that's on my mind would have a cost. That's too great for me right now. And that's Victor Wembanyama saying that it's terrible. It should never, ever, ever. You should never have that fear of having that kind of cause because of bad faith actors, in large part. Bad faith actors who play on faith fear, they play on othering. And what is going on in Minnesota right now, what it means to have a neighbor, what it means to be part of a community, what it means to be there for your neighbor because they are your neighbor because they're in and part of your community. We're seeing what that means. And it is in large part what could be a triumphant and educational moment for what American community means that's going on in Minnesota right now. There should be, amid the horror and amid the grief, there should be a lot of pride. And it shouldn't stop. It should be the beginning of the beginning, not the end of something, the beginning of something bigger. So thanks, Victor Wembanyama.
- [22:47]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
And Dan and I, you know, don't. Don't mistake anything that I'm saying because I don't want to people that aren't citizens here to be running through the streets and gaining benefits of our country.
- [22:58]
Dan Bernstein
I don't think there's any mistake that anybody's making.
- [23:00]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
But people that are trying to go through the process the right way deserve that opportunity. And they're not fully getting that opportunity under this administration. And trust me, if a person is here illegally, I want them here to go through the right process. And if they won't, then they shouldn't be here. I get that. I support that and understand that, but this is not what that is about at all.
- [23:26]
Dan Bernstein
The super bowl is finally here and my bookie is where you turn bets into bankroll. Everybody's watching, we all have a take. And this is the game where the props really matter. I love the prop bets. I'm bad at them, but I love them because they're fun. And that's why my bookie is great, especially for the super bowl, because their famous prop board is deep, it's fun to play. It's the same reason they get talked about on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Every year when the game rolls around, they do a whole thing on it. They're if there was ever a time to get in. Right now my bookie is one account, one wallet. So you got the spread, you got live betting for the second half during commercials. You can go hit the casino, play casino games. Everything's right in the same place. It's@mybookie.ag right now. And there's a promo code. It's D BU for Dan Bernstein, unfiltered. And your first bet is covered up to 500 bucks. And then if it doesn't hit, you got a bet back, bonus token and you can run it all back. So don't just watch the big game. You can make it pay with our friends at my bookie. Now, on the subject of making it pay, if you've been following what has happened with Darian Mensah, who is the former Duke quarterback who is now going to be the quarterback at Miami, there are a couple of college stories that I kind of want to pull together here because the center cannot hold. And this is great revenue generating college sports being this unstable and threatening to crumble, to crack apart the brittle structure of college sports, all of the hypocrisy and all of the lying and all the euphemisms, the student athletes and everything that we've allowed the system to become has become increasingly brittle and it is starting to crack. And when it does, when it does, it's going to be spectacular. And I think it may be starting. And the reason I bring up, first of all, Darian Mensah and second of all, Charles Bediaco. I think that's how we pronounce it, correct, Charles Bettyco.
- [25:41]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
I think I've heard that.
- [25:43]
Dan Bernstein
Yeah. The Alabama Center. Yeah. What's going on in basketball? So we got football and we've got basketball. Now before you Say it before you say it. Yes. Darian Mensah was the quarterback at Tulane last year, and I didn't think he was that good. It's going to end up being another Bernstein's an idiot conclusion. But that's easy. You can always find a way to have all stories lead back to Bernstein. Stupid. I, I wasn't that impressed with Darian Mensah, and I was a little surprised that Duke offered him $3 million to transfer from Tulane. And he did, and everybody knew he was going to. And there he went, and he was. He was really good at Duke. He was better than I thought. So now Carson Beck, after nine years at Miami, and he's now 37 years old, and he's, he's, he's finally leaving Miami and still can't throw. That's, that's the other five. The other big problem is the. Is. I'm sorry. Yes. He's 35, not 37. I'm sorry for exaggerating.
- [26:42]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Please. Thank you.
- [26:43]
Dan Bernstein
Yes, of course. So he's gone. They're going to. He gone. They're going to get Darian Mensah. And Duke sued Darian Mansa for jumping into the transfer portal on the very last day. He's like, oh, yeah, by the way, I'm just going to dip my toe in here. I'm transferring. So Duke, their lawyers came in, they swooped in, and they sued him. So I was thinking, okay, hold on. Do you want to win this lawsuit? Let's say Duke wins the lawsuit and. No, Darian Mansa, you're Duke's quarterback, despite being offered reportedly 10 million in a full buyout of that deal. And his sister was a soccer player at Oregon, being offered a full ride at Miami to play soccer for them, and all sorts of other things, all kinds of other potential deals. And Dukes, I know we're suing you, and you're going to come back and be our quarterback against your will that you win that lawsuit. And you say, well, that's it. You're Duke's quarterback despite all this money we're making you leave on the table. Well, clearly, we know now that, that it was a leverage play to try to get some kind of settlement, to say, look, we're going to. There we have this hammer. We're going to use it. But they are now saying that the Duke lawsuit was the. The quote is always about upholding the contract. They don't want to engage in a protracted legal battle with a student athlete. They did not release terms of the settlement, but it sounds like they cut a check that Miami's like, look, we'll buy it out here. You want to go buy another quarterback? Go buy another quarterback. And despite the fact that Mensah had announced he was intending to come back to Duke and the whole multi year nil deal, the $4 million arrangement, he now is going to be at Miami and that's going to be that. And he's also taking one of their wide receivers with him too, who also got a late deal to go to Miami. This is awesome. This is fantastic. This is what should have happened a long time ago. And with every coach and every athletic director and every one of their media protectors that says the system, someone must think about the system. Give us the system. How do we have college sports? We don't understand how it works. I don't care. Good, good. For how long have you kept this labor force artificially pushed down by your all of your own shady dealings and all of your hundred dollar handshakes and all of your big bloated, red faced, bourbon swilling southern car dealers moving people around like chattel. Well now you're not. How does that feel? Ain't no fun when the rabbit's got the gun. How about that? How about all this about, about Duke University having to. Well, we're going to sue. What are we going to do? Sue these people and sue that guy? Sue everybody? Nah, figure it out. There's plenty of money. Some booster. Miami. That's okay, Chill out there Duke. Here's, here's a few dollars. You'll go find people. There's enough talent out there. I think this is fantastic. And more, more of this make these emperors nervous. Duke has their, their boosters. Know what they're called? They're called the Iron Dukes. All the big really rich grass.
- [30:33]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
That's what they call their, their big boosters. The Iron Dukes.
- [30:36]
Dan Bernstein
Iron Dukes.
- [30:38]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
So you, you enjoy seeing college sports being flipped on its head?
- [30:42]
Dan Bernstein
Oh yeah.
- [30:43]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
So let me throw this because I was reading, reading about this earlier today. So Indiana wins the national championship in football, right? And Nebraska is ranked in the top 10 right now in basketball.
- [30:55]
Dan Bernstein
They're good. That game against Michigan last night, either one of those teams or both could be final four teams.
- [31:00]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
If this is correct. From what I read, I'm just remembering on top of my head there, the last time that Nebraska was ranked top 10 in basketball. Do you know when.
- [31:10]
Dan Bernstein
The 60s.
- [31:11]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
1966.
- [31:12]
Dan Bernstein
Yeah, good guess.
- [31:14]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
So the things that are happening right now. Indiana won the national championship.
- [31:20]
Dan Bernstein
Oh, that's great. So they played Basketball early this year.
- [31:22]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Oh, no, no, that was football. Oh, yeah. By the way, Nebraska is a top 10, top five basketball team right now.
- [31:28]
Dan Bernstein
You know who their coach is?
- [31:29]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
It's Fred hoiberg.
- [31:30]
Dan Bernstein
Wasn't he Fred.
- [31:31]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Isn't it hoiberg or.
- [31:32]
Dan Bernstein
No, no, no, no. Here comes Fred.
- [31:36]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Wait, is that right? Or is he at Iowa State? Or was he at Iowa State? He was at Iowa Nebraska.
- [31:41]
Dan Bernstein
Right. Okay, that's Fred. What's. Hey, Freddie. It's our guy. Yep, it is our guy. Still, one of the great moments when Jason Goff and I were sitting at. What's the name of the club right here? The Rooftop. They're the really nice Rooftop club that's, like, right here on Wacker. Not London. London House.
- [32:07]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
London House has a Rooftop.
- [32:08]
Dan Bernstein
I think that's it. I think it's London bar.
- [32:10]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Yeah. Restaurant.
- [32:11]
Dan Bernstein
So we did our show there. I don't know why they wanted our show there.
- [32:14]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Yeah, that's a. That's a bad fit.
- [32:16]
Dan Bernstein
It was great.
- [32:17]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Well, except for Jason. He would fit there. Oh, we.
- [32:20]
Dan Bernstein
We had a blast. First of all, I was so distracted because apparently near there, that's where the peregrine falcons have their. Have a. A. A scrape up there. Have. Have their version of a nest. So the entire show, I'm watching peregrine falcons flying over and hunting pigeons and all that. So I was pretty much gone. You know me. Sounds right.
- [32:40]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Yes.
- [32:41]
Dan Bernstein
Right. So I'm like, oh, look, this is so cool. You know, it felt like I was in the middle of a nature documentary. And we're. And then all of a sudden, as we're talking, these huge, beautiful glasses with, like, double shots of Patron are set in front of us with big, like, a quarter of a lime jammed on there right in front of us. And it's a gorgeous afternoon. It's like the golden hour. They put these drinks in front of us. Like, where did these come from? And we see this.
- [33:10]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
The Falcons.
- [33:11]
Dan Bernstein
No, we see this.
- [33:13]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
They're like, buy that guy around. Maybe he'll stop staring at me.
- [33:16]
Dan Bernstein
There's this lovely lady who comes over and she's waving, and she comes over and she goes, say nice things, please, about my husband. And it was Carol HoIberg.
- [33:27]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Oh, boy.
- [33:29]
Dan Bernstein
Oh, boy. Just. Who?
- [33:31]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Just trying to bribe you with drinks.
- [33:33]
Dan Bernstein
Well. And I even said something. I said, you know, just so you know that this could technically be payola. Plugola. If now we happen to say nice things about your fabulous husband who's a brilliant coach, that could be theoretically seen as illegal.
- [33:53]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Wait, so how long ago Was this.
- [33:55]
Dan Bernstein
Oh, this is when. So it was 20. 2017.
- [34:02]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Okay, so let's say 10 years ago. How old is Fred Hoiberg?
- [34:07]
Dan Bernstein
He's probably 58.
- [34:10]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Okay, so assume his wife is around the same age as he is. This is a woman in her late 40s. You made her sound like she's 80 running over to you, waving her handbag.
- [34:19]
Dan Bernstein
And I didn't say her handbag, so just.
- [34:21]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
I know, but your impersonation of her. I thought you were gonna say it, like, because it was his grandmother. Like. Like, say nice things about my grandson.
- [34:28]
Dan Bernstein
No, Fred's only 53. Yeah.
- [34:30]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Okay, so his wife. Let's say early 40s.
- [34:32]
Dan Bernstein
Yeah, yeah, I said lovely.
- [34:35]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Yeah, I know, but you made her sound like she was.
- [34:38]
Dan Bernstein
It wasn't actually an impersonation. No, no. Don't get me in trouble now. Don't get me in trouble.
- [34:44]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Well, say nice things about Carol HoIberg.
- [34:46]
Dan Bernstein
She was great. How can I say bad things? She was sending Jason and me big glasses of tequila.
- [34:52]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Oh, is that what it was, too? Oh, I'd have sent it back, and then I would have bad mouth Fred.
- [34:55]
Dan Bernstein
HoIberg the whole way. What do you want, Captain?
- [34:57]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
It's not. Not tequila. I'm not. I'm not sipping on tequila, especially.
- [35:00]
Dan Bernstein
Why?
- [35:01]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
I just. I'm not. I'm not a huge fan.
- [35:03]
Dan Bernstein
Oh, okay.
- [35:04]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Yeah. I mean, you know, in a. If it was like. Okay. Like, a mixed drink with tequila is different. If it's like. Like a sipping tequila, I'm just not. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [35:13]
Dan Bernstein
Like, I. I didn't even know about Don Julio Anejo.
- [35:18]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Oh, yeah, you could have, because, you.
- [35:22]
Dan Bernstein
Know, I'm a big. I'm a big win in Rome kind of guy. That's how I learned. When I was literally in Rome. That's how I learned Campari. We went down to the bar at the Excelsior Hotel, and I'm like, oh, look at me. I'm on the Via Veneto in Rome at the bar at the Excelsior, and there's all these handsome, virile men in leather jackets, and they're just like, come party, Come party, come party. So I, of course, am like, oh, come on. And I'm drinking, like, okay, it's bright red and.
- [35:54]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Okay, very bitter, you know?
- [35:56]
Dan Bernstein
Very bitter. But I kind of learned to like it. Same thing with Don Julio. We were at a Mexican place, a little village here, and it was one of these restaurants that becomes a club later in the evening. Like Fridays and Saturdays. It makes the transition from restaurant to Club and people started coming in and all. Everybody was ordering these little snifters of Don Julio Anejo like. Like cognac or armagnac. And what are people drinking? So I'm like, that's what I'll have if that's what people drink here. And that's. It's time to drink this. That's what we drink. I'm an easy mark that way, but I appreciated that.
- [36:34]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
So, yeah, I do love. I do love a nice glass of Campari over ice.
- [36:38]
Dan Bernstein
Just. Yeah. Before dinner, right? Yeah, just.
- [36:42]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Yeah, with dinner. Before dinner, after dinner.
- [36:46]
Dan Bernstein
Any of those times.
- [36:47]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Yeah.
- [36:47]
Dan Bernstein
What is. What's the Steve Martin bit about smoking weed? Well, only. Only in the evening. The early late evening or the morning or the mid. The mid. Early afternoon morning, late evening, but never at dusk. Yeah, it's that. That is Fred Hoiberg who is coaching that Nebraska team. And they're good. They really are good. Speaking of basketball, though, so Charles Bediaco is a professional basketball player who's now playing for Alabama because the judge is a. The judge who decided it was okay for him to play for Alabama is now being asked to recuse himself because he was. The Betty Oka was granted a 10 day temporary restraining order that allowed him to play immediately for Alabama and barred the NCAA from punishing the university in any way.
- [37:40]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Is he an Alabama graduate?
- [37:43]
Dan Bernstein
Well, well, the. The judge, James H. Roberts, who said there exists good cause to extend the restraining order is he and his wife are active donors on the website for Alabama's Crimson Tide foundation that supports the university's athletics.
- [38:06]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Oh, boy.
- [38:08]
Dan Bernstein
It says the NCAA does not allege that any actual bias motivated the court's granting of a temporary restraining order.
- [38:15]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
No, of course not.
- [38:16]
Dan Bernstein
No. But contends that the proceeding in this court has created an impermissible appearance of impropriety because of the intense media scrutiny and public speculation surrounding the court's relationship with the University of Alabama and its athletics program. So the reason that everybody is angry is because Charles Bediaco played two years at Alabama. He played in 21:22, and he played in 22:23. He left early for the NBA draft. He went undrafted. He never played in an NBA game. But for the last three seasons, he's played for three different G League teams, Played last weekend for the Motor City Cruise and sued the NCAA for immediate reinstatement after the NCAA denied Alabama's appeal. And he won this temporary injunction and he's playing for Alabama. That ain't right. Why not? Of course it feels like it's wrong. But. But I love it. A professional basketball player is like, you know, I got some eligibility left and they're paying kids there. Why I'm going to go play. There's James Najee of Baylor.
- [39:39]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
That's the first story I remember hearing.
- [39:40]
Dan Bernstein
Yeah. That's the first drafted player.
- [39:43]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Yeah.
- [39:43]
Dan Bernstein
And now the NCAA senior VP of basketball. Dan gave it said anyone who remains in the NBA draft passwear. Dan Gavitt. Dan Gavin. Dan Gavitt. Harry. Bunch of bushwhackers wrapped around the kettle crimmer. Dan Gavitt. No, no, no. Watch your.
- [40:02]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Watch your mouth. My foul mouth friend.
- [40:05]
Dan Bernstein
I forgot about that.
- [40:07]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Yeah.
- [40:08]
Dan Bernstein
What? That was just something in the Terry memory. I don't remember. I do remember swearing on the air a couple times. I don't remember that one.
- [40:16]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Did you. Did you know I swore yesterday I.
- [40:18]
Dan Bernstein
Heard you dropped an F bomb.
- [40:20]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
I did.
- [40:20]
Dan Bernstein
Yeah.
- [40:20]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Because obviously from doing this.
- [40:25]
Dan Bernstein
Well, there was also. There was a Tanny played an old Terry cut that he. That had to be dumped. That wasn't properly vetted.
- [40:36]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Oh, boy.
- [40:37]
Dan Bernstein
Huh. It was like a gift from the beyond.
- [40:41]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Okay.
- [40:42]
Dan Bernstein
It was otherworldly. It's like the lap.
- [40:44]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
What TV say.
- [40:47]
Dan Bernstein
He referred to a certain major leagues play in right field with a word that started with R. Oh, okay.
- [40:59]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Yeah.
- [41:00]
Dan Bernstein
And we all looked at each other like, whoop. Thanks T. Diddley for that one. But Dan.
- [41:07]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
So sorry.
- [41:08]
Dan Bernstein
Dan Gamutt. Get back to Dan Gammit. Let me get back to this Dan Gamut. So he said that Benioko had forfeited his remaining college eligibility because he remained in the NBA draft, passed a withdrawal deadline. And he said if those rules can't be enfor, it would create an unstable environment for the student athletes, schools building a roster for the following season. And the NBA. Yup, yup. Unstable environment it is. Bring it on. Bring on the instability. I want to see how they operate around this. I want to see. And they've talked to coaches and Nate Oates was like, hey, if I can do it, why wouldn't I do it?
- [41:48]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
All right, so let me ask you why. Why does this bring you such great joy to see instability in the, in the sports that, you know, generate so much revenue and.
- [41:57]
Dan Bernstein
Because it threatens the order that has enriched these, these, these vainglorious coaches and everything that surrounds them. If it means that there is more power to the players to. To recoup all of the cost of their free labor that's existed for years. This is an exploitation factory. That's all the NCAA has been is a slave labor cartel that has been manufactured to make billions of dollars off the backs of unpaid labor under the guise of. Well, we have to get you ready for professional work. And we have to. We're prepared. We're giving you an education. That has all now been exposed as bullshit by everybody involved. And now to have. Hey, all right. I was playing some pro basketball. You're paying people. I'll come back and play pro basketball for you. Just to watch everybody forced to have their noses rubbed in all of these conflicts and all of the lying. Figure it out. Figure it out. To see the confusion. I can't control this anymore. Now my job is harder. What am I gonna do? Figure it out. Figure it out. I don't care. I don't have a dog in the fight. I don't think I'm allowed to use that reference anymore. But go ahead. You want to use a pro? Want to pay somebody?
- [43:34]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
You got skin in the game. That's what you got.
- [43:36]
Dan Bernstein
Yeah, it's better. You want to take somebody off somebody else's roster. Okay, that's great. If I get to turn on my TV and see some good basketball, I'm cool. And see some competitive ball in the tournament. Watch some teams that have found some inequities in the new system that, like you say, like Indiana in football, wait till Valpo wins the end the national championship or something like that. Pick a school. Pick a school. Kansas State or Southern Illinois. Somebody is going to find a way to figure this thing out and say, our turn. Okay, we. We've. We've got a way to do this here. Go ahead.
- [44:19]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
So the ncaa, a slave labor cartel.
- [44:23]
Dan Bernstein
And that's all it's ever been.
- [44:24]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Love it.
- [44:24]
Dan Bernstein
That's great. That is all it has ever been.
- [44:27]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
It needs to be on a T shirt.
- [44:28]
Dan Bernstein
Well, it's what. It's what it's been. And now finally, all of a sudden, like I say, ain't no fun when the rabbit's got the gun. And that's what we're seeing here. And it's fantastic, as are the windows that Russ Armstrong will put into your house because he is the Chicago window guys. He has the factory here in Chicago. He makes the best windows going and his people install them in your home. So call him for your new windows. You know, cold you are right now. You're sitting there with your covered in a blanket or your feet are cold, or your kids are complaining because their rooms are cold. How about new windows, Russ will match any price that you get because there's a lot of garbage out there. There's a lot of buy one get one free or buy one get one 50% off two for one. Everything you hear about Windows, he'll match the real prices and he'll explain what those deals are and are not really. Russ will give you the best product with the best price guaranteed. 847-302-9171 check out his five star reviews@chicagowindowguys.com and what's really important, he doesn't use subcontracted labor. It's his people. He knows everybody who's in and around your house and the experience. I can tell you firsthand that he keeps texting and emailing. Is everything okay? Are they there? I've talked to them. There's another they'll be there for another hour. Are things clean? Is everything just right? We can come back out if need be. It's you'll get that exact same kind of first class treatment and that's why I've recommended him. Co workers, neighbors, friends. Russ Armstrong is the guy and Chicago window guys are who you're going to call. 847302 9171. Check out his five star reviews@chicagowindowguys.com now if you're saying why, why haven't you guys talked about the whole Bill Belichick thing? Well, you know why. We have another podcast called Forward Progress where we talk about the Bears and the NFL and we're going to do a lot of that, a lot on Forward Progress and I'm looking forward to doing that. Not only are we going to talk about Bill Belichick and this whole hall of Fame thing and what people are actually complaining about, they're not really complaining about Bill Belichick being snubbed. That's not really what it is. They're complaining about their, their sacrosanct hall of Fame somehow looking like it doesn't know what it's doing. That's really the problem and we're going to get into that. And also, yes, apparently the jets contacted Jon Gruden because they're firing all their assistant coaches. Clearly they were. The problem has nothing to do with the head coach. It's apparently Brick and Stick Johnson have gone into Granddad's office and they said fire all the assistant coaches and talk to Jon Gruden.
- [47:22]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
And he's kind of unspecified senior consultant role. We don't know exactly what it was for, but he said no.
- [47:30]
Dan Bernstein
When he's saying no to the Jets, I think it's telling us a lot about the Jets. So that is all coming up on Forward Progress. The we did get a report also yesterday that the Bulls are indeed examining some trade possibilities. Joe Cowley is who does a great job keeping the heat on the management level and he said that the Bulls front office has remained active in trade talks and yesterday specifically guard Kobe White is still the piece most often discussed. The Timberwolves and Rockets are in the mix. It is not just a two team race. So the ongoing issue is the tightrope that AK is trying to walk as he looks to deal a player such as White on an expiring deal for young talent on the same timeline as Josh Giddey and Modest Bouz Ellis. Here are the names he said. Here are the names that have been floated in some capacity. Reed Shepherd, Tari Easton, Rob Dillingham and former Lincoln park and Illinois star Terence Shannon Jr is there noise around the Bulls? Definitely it's not loud enough to disrupt the business of basketball as far as players are concerned. Bulls have the lowly Pacers tonight, but I think the Pacers have beaten them twice. I think two of their 11 wins actually are against the Bulls. So there's no gimmes for this Bulls team. Those names Reed Shepherd, Terry Easton, Rob Dillingham, Terrence Shannon Jr. They don't really move the meter a whole lot. You know, I like the potential that still exists there about what into what they could grow. But the if it's Kobe White, cool I think right now lately watching his game. I texted this to Jason the other night. As you know, we watched some Bulls games together via text because OWC new episode coming out this evening, by the way, and we'll talk about this in depth. But Kobe White's got to settle down, just chill out a little bit. He. He's. He's too hurried right now. It's like he's trying to do everything all at once and he keeps turning the ball over. I know he's making his threes and he's had some hot quarters and some hot stretches, but just breathe, man. Breathe. Just you don't. It's. You can, as John Wooden would say, be quick but don't hurry. He just seems like he's trying to do everything all the time with his hair on fire. So maybe he's feeling the pressure a little bit. But it does appear at this point that that's the one guy on this Bulls roster that is getting some interest. I would think there'd be a lot more that somebody might want Vuchevic that that a contender could find. Certainly IO Da Sumu would be I a high value right now as a trade piece. Kevin Herder, any number of people who are showing that they could have value on a good team. So see what draft capital might be out there for you. Make that move. Get that done.
- [50:33]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Bulls finish 40 and 42. No move and lose the play. End game.
- [50:39]
Dan Bernstein
There you go. Well, that might also be true. I do think they will make a move or some moves. We have this bet. I am standing by it. And I'm confident they will do something. I am. You're not.
- [50:56]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Well, yeah. And I hope you're right. For your sake, as. As a devoted Bulls watcher, I hope something does happen.
- [51:02]
Dan Bernstein
The super bowl is here. It's soon. And my bookie is where you turn bets into bankroll. Everybody's watching. Everybody has their take. It's the one game where the props matter just as much as that final score. And. And that's why my bookie is your friend right now. Their super bowl prop board is well known as the industry leader. It is why the my bookie board gets mentioned on Jimmy Kimmel Live every year. When the game rolls around, this is the time to get in. You can bet the spread. You can live bet the second half. You can hit the casino during the commercials. If the commercials don't interest you, everything's in one place, all one account, all one wallet. All you do is go to my bookie, AG and make sure you use the promo code DBU for Dan Bernstein, Unfiltered, the initials of this very show. Because then your first bet gets covered up to 500 bucks. If it doesn't hit, you got a bet back bonus token, and you can run it back. But again, they gotta use that promo code. So register your account, make your deposit, and then use the code DBU at MyBookie AG the bet back bonus token allows you to kind of undo that first bet. If it doesn't hit up to 500 bucks, then you're not just watching the big game or the props. You're making it pay. With my bookie, I heard a song yesterday from an artist that was completely new to me.
- [52:24]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Okay. But not a new artist.
- [52:27]
Dan Bernstein
I believe he's a new artist. Okay. And I heard the song, and I'm listening to. And it simultaneously sounded old and new. And I listened, and then I found the song again. All right? And I listened to it again.
- [52:44]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
All right?
- [52:45]
Dan Bernstein
And I think it might be great.
- [52:49]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Give it to me. Nate, what do you got?
- [52:51]
Dan Bernstein
It's a song by somebody who uses the nom de guerre Tyler Ball. Game. Look him up. Tyler Ball Game. The song is Matter of Taste, and I did look him up. His actual name happens to be Tyler Perry, but apparently the Tyler Ball Game reference was a joking reference that he made to a protagonist in one of his songs based on Ted Williams and Teddy Ball Game. So he just has. Has used the name as an artist. He's using the name Tyler Ballgame. And at first I heard. I'm like, wow, this is kind of weird. This sounds like an artifact. And then it just kind of started to rock and I realized that it's. It's. It's not a. It's earnest. It's not a bit. And this is his real voice, and he. He does some things vocally that are. That are interesting and different, and the song's mixed really well. And I'm like, God, darn it. I. I think this might be really good. So tell me what you think. I'm just. I'm really curious.
- [54:09]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
All right, I'll listen to it. So it's on his first album ever, the. It's called the First Time Again, and the album actually comes out in two days. So this is a single released from that album along with a few other singles. The title song, for the First Time Again, I Believe in Love, Matter of Taste, and Got a New Car.
- [54:27]
Dan Bernstein
Yeah, I'm gonna get the album, I.
- [54:29]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Think, on the 12 song album released in two days. So I'll take a listen to it when we're done.
- [54:35]
Dan Bernstein
Yeah, okay. The album's not out yet.
- [54:37]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
It's not.
- [54:37]
Dan Bernstein
Yeah, it comes out. Not even. Okay. I don't even know what it means to drop an album. Right. It's released onto Spotify or wherever.
- [54:45]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Oh, yeah, it's. It's released and becomes fully available wherever you stream music at. But you know, like. Like any. Any artist has done for decades and decades and decades, you release a single or two off an album. So there are four songs that are available now, and then eight more will be available and the entire album releases on the 30th.
- [55:03]
Dan Bernstein
Yeah. I'm really curious what you think of his sound, and it seems real to me.
- [55:11]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
How would you describe his sound? How would you describe his music?
- [55:15]
Dan Bernstein
It's rock. He's got a little bit of a twang. It almost is. Roots rock does that. Yeah, No, I get it.
- [55:25]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
I get what you're saying. Feel what you're putting down there. Nate.
- [55:30]
Dan Bernstein
Yeah, he's got kind of a. I don't know if it's falsetto or not, but almost no long songs. That's for sure. No, but. And the song took a couple turns. It didn't go exactly where I expected it to go. And then he's kind of hooting and hollering a little bit as, as, as things start to roll in the song and he leans in to some of the edgy stuff. I don't know that he's reinventing anything.
- [55:56]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Record label is Rough Trade Records. It's, it'll be released with 12 songs, a total running time of 15 minutes.
- [56:04]
Dan Bernstein
Well, I, I, I just, I, I ran into this, I ran into this song last night as I was driving home and I don't know. So you know how sometimes you hear something and you're just in the right mood, right place, right time, and then the spell breaks when you listen to it another time you're like, oh, okay, maybe that wasn't quite what I thought or maybe, but this had enough to pull me back. Enough that I had to stop and write it down.
- [56:30]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
Yeah, no, I'm interested in listening. I always love finding new artists or new music. And Apple, it'll tell you, you might also like these albums or similar artists and even the ones that says you might also like. I have never heard of any of these.
- [56:44]
Dan Bernstein
Okay, just try just putting it out there. Tyler Ball game. Matter of taste is the song and I thought, I just thought it was really cool.
- [56:54]
Co-host or Guest (possibly Nate or Jason)
All right, we'll give it a listen when we're done.
- [56:55]
Dan Bernstein

You and Chris Kamka. I'm amazed if you, Chris Camper does the pizza reviews and seems to have forgotten more about pizza than you or I will ever know. But I like it too. But sometimes I've got to be attuned to. I got to be ready for it. Craving it, but yeah, I could go for a drink.

Put pizza in front of me. I'll eat it. I don't care. I could have a full Thanksgiving meal and you bring a pie in. I'm good, so I'll start right away.
