Kevin (1:40)

Stupid.

Eddie (1:41)

But what did you expect? It's a podcast called 25 Whistles.

Bobby Bones (1:46)

25 Whistles, everybody. Welcome to the show. Blow it. All right, we're in. I saw that Josh Allen and Haley Snifeld had their kid. You don't care.

Kevin (1:57)

I didn't even know that she was pregnant.

Eddie (2:00)

Really?

Kevin (2:00)

Never? No. I feel like they just got married. Didn't they just get married like, last year?

Bobby Bones (2:05)

I'm starting to not count on you as no one's anything anymore.

Eddie (2:08)

I feel like she would just announce she was pregnant. I feel like when. When you're the one that's not going through the pregnancy, obviously we're not going through it, but our wives, I feel it goes so much faster, man.

Kevin (2:19)

I think we're all going through it. I think we're both going through the pregnancy, husbands and wives.

Eddie (2:24)

Well, we are, but I'm saying, like, if somebody else goes through it.

Bobby Bones (2:27)

No, my wife went through way more than I Did. Is that what you're saying? Like, you're saying you went through equally.

Kevin (2:32)

I mean, we're. I hate it when people say we're pregnant. I don't like that. But in a way, you're both having the baby, so you're both pregnant.

Matt Norlander (2:39)

No.

Bobby Bones (2:40)

I'm gonna disagree. Your life changes a bit, but as the dude, you physically don't have to deal with not being able to sleep, being uncomfortable.

Eddie (2:48)

Yeah.

Kevin (2:48)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (2:48)

You physically. No.

Kevin (2:50)

Okay. All right.

Eddie (2:51)

Yeah. Yeah. Especially after the baby comes, you're like, oh, wow, that's. I'm cool.

Matt Norlander (2:56)

I can walk.

Eddie (2:57)

I can do it all. Give me the baby. And they're bedroom.

Bobby Bones (3:00)

My body's exactly as it was the day before. Yeah.

Eddie (3:02)

I can go work out the next day if I want to.

Bobby Bones (3:04)

It's crazy. You think it's equal?

Kevin (3:06)

Yeah, I mean, it's been a bit since I've gone through that. It's been nine years. No, no. Nine years. Twelve years since I've been through that.

Bobby Bones (3:12)

I would think in 50 years, I'm still going to think it's not equal.

Eddie (3:15)

Yeah, dude.

Kevin (3:16)

Okay. But you both had the baby.

Bobby Bones (3:18)

She had the baby. We now have a child.

Eddie (3:21)

Yes.

Kevin (3:22)

Okay, that makes sense.

Bobby Bones (3:24)

Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld are the parents of a baby girl they announced in her newsletter. I guess I don't subscribe to that.

Eddie (3:31)

Wow.

Bobby Bones (3:33)

That their daughter has been born. Without sharing any further specifics on the date or the baby's name, we're feeling incredibly grateful and blessed in savoring these early moments. Hey, let me ask you guys a question. So, had a baby a few weeks ago, and I'm not starting a new podcast. I can't. I don't have the capacity to start a new podcast, but definitely a segment. And occasionally I'm doing on YouTube a new show, kind of. And I had two names that I came up with, and I'm curious to know which name you guys like the best. I've already come to the conclusion of

Kevin (4:05)

what I'm using, so we don't matter in this, but it doesn't matter.

Bobby Bones (4:07)

But I'm just curious to what you think. Add two names. Because the thing is, so many people are asking questions all the time about the baby, and then I have artists going, hey, I want to come up and talk about, you know, being a dad. And I'm like, I don't have time for a podcast, but occasionally maybe I do an interview. We cut a part of it out. The two options I had were, number one, talk Daddy to me.

Eddie (4:27)

Nice.

Kevin (4:29)

I love that. Yeah, dude, I love it.

Bobby Bones (4:32)

No, dude, I was going to say that.

Eddie (4:34)

Nobody's using that.

Kevin (4:35)

Yeah. That's shocking.

Bobby Bones (4:35)

I searched it. The only thing that we found was, like, a name of an episode for Boy Meets World.

Eddie (4:44)

That was the other one.

Bobby Bones (4:44)

Oh, that was the other one. No, nobody's using it.

Eddie (4:46)

Wow.

Bobby Bones (4:47)

There was no podcast called that.

Kevin (4:48)

That is so good. I don't even know. Want to hear the second one?

Bobby Bones (4:51)

The next one is Father Knows. So there's a saying called Father Knows Best.

Kevin (4:55)

Yeah.

Eddie (4:55)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (4:56)

So with me, it was Father Knows Less.

Eddie (4:58)

Oh, that's good, dude. Dang.

Kevin (4:59)

Because you guys are talking about fatherhood and just parents.

Bobby Bones (5:02)

So Father Knows Less. And it's also a television show, which I don't think a lot of people know, but Father Knows Best. What's a television show? Back in the day, Black and White used to watch it on Nick at night. That's how I knew about the saying Father Knows Best. Okay, so. But it's called Father Knows Less. Or it's called Talk Daddy to Me.

Kevin (5:17)

Talk Daddy to Me. Yeah, it's got to be down.

Eddie (5:20)

They're both really good. But, yeah, that Talk Daddy, like, if I were to see that somewhere, I'd be like, I need to check that out.

Bobby Bones (5:26)

I'm so happy that you guys picked that one, because that is not the one I picked.

Eddie (5:29)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (5:30)

I'm so happy. Yeah. That one just felt, like, a little too, like, sexual, like. Yeah, yeah. Huh.

Eddie (5:38)

Not your style or.

Bobby Bones (5:39)

Because Daddy, Daddy, like, talk Daddy to me. It's also Talk Dirty to me, but also Daddy. And not only that. Father Knows Less is me admitting I know very little about it. And so people aren't thinking I'm an expert.

Kevin (5:50)

Okay.

Bobby Bones (5:51)

But I'm glad you guys picked Dog Daddy to Me, but makes me feel

Eddie (5:53)

like I'm in the right place. Makes you feel better.

Bobby Bones (5:54)

Like, when we're betting and Eddie picked a team and I didn't pick that team and pick the other team, I'm like, oh, I'm in the right place for this.

Kevin (5:59)

You know, when you do that, I drive home sad. Right? You know that? Like, when you say stuff like that, I'm just like, why does he say stuff like that? Like, basically everything I decide is wrong. Like, I have those moments in my car.

Bobby Bones (6:12)

Everything. Not true.

Eddie (6:13)

A lot.

Kevin (6:15)

Like the bet one, I'm just like, really? Like, every time I pick a team.

Bobby Bones (6:18)

Do you feel like his instincts are pretty bad?

Eddie (6:20)

Yeah, they're generally, like. Generally speaking, I feel like the stats, I don't. We don't have them in Front of us, but they back it up. Yeah, yeah.

Bobby Bones (6:26)

So that's. I was really hoping you guys pick Talk daddy to me. It's like two dudes or like dude now.

Eddie (6:31)

Well, now I'm like, dang, I'm stuck with Eddie over here now.

Kevin (6:34)

Yeah, you're like me now. You're right home. Good luck today.

Eddie (6:36)

Oh, dude, I'm gonna be driving home.

Bobby Bones (6:39)

Like. Oh, I thought you meant you were driving home for.

Eddie (6:41)

Right home.

Bobby Bones (6:43)

So how's your baby influencing going?

Eddie (6:45)

Yeah, it's a. It's on pause. It's been on pause for a little while.

Bobby Bones (6:48)

Why, man?

Eddie (6:49)

It's just, you guys know the social media game. It's a lot to keep up with and Bobby does a great job of it and I commend him for it. But you got to be so consistent all the time and every day and we are so busy as it is with work and I'm like, I just. It's hard to keep up with it non stop, especially with no income coming in. I know you got to start somewhere to get there, but that doesn't help you.

Kevin (7:11)

Are the ideas still there? Like, do you still have the ideas coming in?

Eddie (7:15)

Yeah, all the time. Especially because we just had their first plane ride. So I was like, oh, I could do another one. Like it's been like four months.

Bobby Bones (7:19)

Probably like another one like a.

Eddie (7:23)

Where I give advice on like how to make your life easier as a parent. New parent, traveling for the first time with your baby. Like, for us, the number one thing, we brought a car seat. We had. You have to bring a car seat because we bought three chairs since we have two babies. And then having that car seat was huge. Cause they got to sleep in the car seat, they got to play in the car seat. So you didn't have to really hold one the entire flight. And it was a long flight, four hour flight. So that was huge. And you could put these little spinning things on the windows that could occupy them. So that's just an example of like something that made our life easier as first time flyers, as parents.

Bobby Bones (7:55)

That sounds like a good segment. Father knows less. What do you guys think about that? Yeah, I could pay 20 bucks. And then you make a little money off that story.

Eddie (8:01)

Let's do it. Let's do it.

Bobby Bones (8:03)

So you took a car seat on the plane, huh?

Eddie (8:04)

Yeah, yeah. And it was

Bobby Bones (8:08)

there. A two seater.

Eddie (8:09)

Just a one.

Bobby Bones (8:11)

You have two kids.

Eddie (8:11)

Yeah, but so legally, since you have two, you can buy. You have to buy three seats because of the oxygen mask. And then you have. You can have one lap child, but you can't have two, so.

Bobby Bones (8:21)

But what if you each have one lap child?

Eddie (8:23)

You can't have two in the same row.

Bobby Bones (8:25)

Got it.

Eddie (8:25)

Two lap trials in the same row because there's only a certain amount of oxygen mass, and you know what I mean? So if somebody else was sitting in the window seat like a random person, and then it's us two in the seats and two lap childs, there's not enough mass to go around. So legally, you have to have that third seat and you have to have a car seat with them. But we're like, damn, have you guys ever seen a car seat on a plane? Think about it.

Kevin (8:46)

Never, right? No, that's what I thought.

Bobby Bones (8:48)

Or maybe I've just never noticed, but I don't think I've ever seen a car seat on a plane.

Eddie (8:52)

Same when they said that, I was like, what? Like, I've never seen one.

Bobby Bones (8:54)

Which.

Eddie (8:55)

You mean we have to. But thank God we had to because it was such a lifesaver, man.

Kevin (8:59)

You know, there's one thing that I never thought of was Ubering, you know, and if you have a child that you're going to Uber with, you got to have the car seats because Ubers don't have car seats in them. So I remember a situation where we were going to a concert or an event. Like, it was like a circus or something at Bridgestone, and we're like, well, okay, we'll take the car seat for the Uber, but what are we gonna do with the car seat when we get to the event?

Bobby Bones (9:21)

Carry the kid in it the whole time.

Kevin (9:22)

You could do that, I would think.

Eddie (9:24)

Yeah.

Kevin (9:24)

So. No, but the cool thing is when you get to Bridgestone or a venue like that, you can actually check in strollers, car seats, and they hold it for you for the show, and then when you're done, you just give them the ticket and you get it right back. So that was kind of cool stuff. You don't think about, like, Ubers. We brought the baby in. They're just like, you can't bring the baby and there's no car seat here unless you have a car seat. And we're like, didn't know that.

Bobby Bones (9:46)

I think we wouldn't know that. And I would be stuck carrying the car seat the whole time. My wife would carry the baby until she got tired and we'd switch.

Eddie (9:53)

Yeah, Yeah.

Bobby Bones (9:54)

I didn't know you could check it in. See, this is a segment for Father

Eddie (9:56)

Knows Less, episode one, Happening right now, maybe.

Kevin (9:59)

Or talk Daddy.

Bobby Bones (10:01)

You two can have that one.

Kevin (10:02)

That one feels perfect.

Bobby Bones (10:03)

The more I say it, the more the pervier that one feels.

Kevin (10:06)

Isn't that a song too? I just want to hear the answer. Talk Daddy to Me.

Bobby Bones (10:10)

I don't know, I thought it was always Talk Dirty To Me.

Kevin (10:12)

No, no, it is. It is Talk Dirty. But the song is Talk Dirty to Me, right? Who is that, Poison?

Bobby Bones (10:18)

Yeah, but it's not Talk Daddy to Me.

Kevin (10:19)

I know, but you can do a generic version for the intro. Da da da.

Bobby Bones (10:22)

I'm not doing Talk Daddy to Me.

Eddie (10:23)

That's me and you, Eddie.

Bobby Bones (10:24)

Yeah, you two can have your own side.

Eddie (10:26)

It's just you two talking to each other.

Bobby Bones (10:27)

No microphones.

Eddie (10:30)

We do it all the time anyways. Right.

Bobby Bones (10:31)

So you've quit on baby influencing? Sounds like it.

Eddie (10:34)

A whole nother aspect too is. And I share my babies, the names, the faces. But I've also, like, there's just a fine line that I struggle with. Like, how much do you share them? How much do you want to share them? I know you guys don't share their faces and all that. Everyone's different. But that's where I struggle with too. So I'm like, do I want to put my baby's faces on there or not? And then I debate that all the time, like how much, how little.

Bobby Bones (10:59)

There's a guy that kills it as a dad influencer, never puts his kids on. I get offered money constantly from baby companies and I've not done any real content except I push a stroller through and write something on there. But I've not been paid for anything. And I get people, baby companies all the time coming in and going, hey, will you do this stroller or this bottle or this? But I'm not gonna do it.

Kevin (11:17)

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Eddie (11:20)

You say I have a couple other guys, that's Talk Daddy to me. Yeah.

Kevin (11:27)

Wow, that's crazy. You turned those down, man. If I got one of those, I'd be like, yes. What do you want me to do?

Bobby Bones (11:33)

I just don't. I don't want to be hawking something that I really don't use or don't believe in. And it's not like life changing money.

Kevin (11:42)

I get that. Yeah. You're in a different boat too.

Bobby Bones (11:45)

For you.

Eddie (11:45)

Yeah, for you.

Bobby Bones (11:46)

If I did a lot of them and that was constantly my job and shout out to influencers, we can make this a constant job. I think I would do that. But I do very little social media influencing. I mean, maybe one a year. And it's usually something that I'M already involved in. In another way. But, yeah, no, I get paid. I get offered, like, five grand to do a will you do bottles? And two posts.

Kevin (12:09)

100%.

Eddie (12:11)

I'm already thinking, like, our kids are growing out of their first car seats already. And I'm like, you got any car seat companies coming over to you over there?

Bobby Bones (12:17)

No thing. I had a stroller company, but I don't use that stroller. I'm rolling across the screen in the stroller that we paid for. We've not gotten anything for free. And they're like, hey, what about our stroller? And, like, I don't know if your thing is even any good. But no, I've not said yes to any of that.

Kevin (12:29)

Kevin, what do you think?

Bobby Bones (12:30)

Well, I might eventually. But no.

Kevin (12:32)

What do you think about Bobby's posts? Do you like that as an influencer yourself? Do you like what Bobby's doing, like,

Eddie (12:37)

with the baby content?

Kevin (12:38)

Of course.

Eddie (12:38)

Yeah, dude.

Bobby Bones (12:39)

Yeah.

Eddie (12:40)

Baby content is always so good, dude.

Bobby Bones (12:42)

It gets millions of views.

Kevin (12:43)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (12:44)

And I do nothing except roll a stroller across the street.

Eddie (12:45)

I feel like dogs and babies, like, you can never go wrong with dogs and babies when it comes to, like, if somebody hates dog and baby content, like, you probably don't like.

Kevin (12:52)

That's true, you know, have you seen the video where there's a lady who's beating some eggs in a bowl and the little. Her baby's, like, watching her do it, and then she cracks the egg on the baby's head?

Eddie (13:02)

Oh, yeah.

Bobby Bones (13:04)

So that's a trend they did for a long time.

Eddie (13:07)

You were the cheese.

Bobby Bones (13:08)

Yeah, well, the cheese, they would throw it and slap it on the baby's head.

Eddie (13:12)

What would your wife say if you did that?

Kevin (13:14)

She would never let me do that, ever.

Bobby Bones (13:16)

Eddie, how many teams can you name in the women's final four?

Kevin (13:21)

Why would you do that to me? Maybe two.

Bobby Bones (13:26)

Okay, go ahead.

Kevin (13:27)

Vanderbilt.

Bobby Bones (13:28)

No.

Kevin (13:29)

Okay. I get three strikes, right? Texas.

Matt Norlander (13:33)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (13:33)

Number one seed, Texas.

Kevin (13:36)

I know. The LSU. They're out. Is Yukon.

Bobby Bones (13:41)

Number one seed? UConn is in.

Kevin (13:43)

Thank goodness. Okay, I said three.

Bobby Bones (13:46)

I think you said two, but okay, good.

Kevin (13:47)

So I made it.

Bobby Bones (13:48)

The other team has probably. It's probably the most winning team in the past decade.

Kevin (13:52)

Really? Women's.

Bobby Bones (13:53)

Women's.

Kevin (13:54)

Oh, South Carolina.

Bobby Bones (13:56)

Correct. One seed, South Carolina.

Kevin (13:57)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Bobby Bones (13:58)

And you probably won't get the fourth one. There are one seed, so they're all

Kevin (14:01)

one seeds in there.

Bobby Bones (14:02)

Women's basketball is like that always, really, like, the winning teams do all the winning, and nobody has a Chance when they play them.

Eddie (14:10)

No, they won by like 30.

Bobby Bones (14:11)

Yeah.

Eddie (14:11)

Every game.

Bobby Bones (14:12)

So the number one South Carolina versus number one UConn, both Yukons are in the final Four. That's pretty cool. Men and women and number one Texas against number one ucla.

Kevin (14:24)

Okay.

Bobby Bones (14:25)

Yeah. And men's, which Saturday. You can name those four, right?

Kevin (14:30)

Let me see. Yeah. Illinois is playing UConn and then Michigan's playing Arizona.

Bobby Bones (14:37)

At least a men's tournament. It's two ones, a two and a three.

Kevin (14:41)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (14:42)

Still, the halves are the ones that are rising up, but, man, in the women's, it's all ones and an occasional two.

Kevin (14:47)

And I mean, it was almost another one with Duke. I mean, that was a crazy game.

Bobby Bones (14:52)

What do you mean almost another one?

Kevin (14:54)

That was just such a close game. UConn comes from a 19 point deficit. Like it was almost like it wasn't supposed to be.

Bobby Bones (14:59)

I was just saying in the men's tournament, you don't have to be a one.

Kevin (15:02)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (15:02)

Like it rarely is it all four number ones and the women just mostly all four number ones. Yeah.

Eddie (15:07)

And I saw the other day that UConn's on another just crazy streak. Remember when they used to have these, like, all the time, like winning streaks? Yeah. They won 54 in a row now.

Kevin (15:15)

Dang.

Eddie (15:18)

What? Yeah, that's what it says going back from last year.

Bobby Bones (15:21)

38.

Eddie (15:21)

How.

Bobby Bones (15:21)

That's not.

Kevin (15:22)

That can't be because they weren't undefeated.

Bobby Bones (15:23)

They weren't undefeated. Maybe conference get tournament games.

Eddie (15:26)

38.

Bobby Bones (15:26)

They can't be tournament. They didn't win the tournament last year when they won 58.

Eddie (15:30)

What has an active 54 game winning streak spanning from the end of the 20, 24, 25 season through Yukon's not undefeated women's.

Bobby Bones (15:40)

Oh, you didn't say that. Our sexist brain goes. Right.

Eddie (15:45)

We didn't even hear it.

Kevin (15:46)

No, he didn't clarify.

Bobby Bones (15:48)

He might have, but we didn't hear it.

Eddie (15:50)

You guys were just thinking about the men.

Bobby Bones (15:51)

Yes. Our sexist brains were hard at work.

Eddie (15:53)

I tried to set it up with, remember, UConn's, women's.

Matt Norlander (15:56)

You.

Eddie (15:56)

I don't even know if. I probably didn't say women's used to go on all these winning streaks back in the day when they were like five years in a row.

Kevin (16:01)

They're that dominant again.

Bobby Bones (16:03)

How many UConn women's basketball players can you name? I'll go first. Rebecca Lobo.

Kevin (16:07)

Oh, all time.

Bobby Bones (16:08)

All time.

Eddie (16:08)

Yeah. Diana Taurasi.

Bobby Bones (16:11)

What? You get to go ahead. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Kevin (16:15)

It's the blonde hair. Girl. Sabrina. Sabrina.

Bobby Bones (16:19)

I think she played it in West Coast.

Eddie (16:20)

Carpenter.

Kevin (16:22)

What's her last name?

Bobby Bones (16:23)

Iosco.

Kevin (16:23)

Yeah, Iosco.

Bobby Bones (16:24)

That one. I don't think. I think. I'm almost positive she played in Oregon.

Eddie (16:28)

I feel like she played in Oregon.

Kevin (16:29)

Yeah. Okay. Thinking of another one. Blonde girl with ponytail.

Bobby Bones (16:33)

That's every blonde girl that plays.

Kevin (16:36)

Who am I thinking about?

Bobby Bones (16:39)

I can go another one?

Eddie (16:39)

Yeah, I got one more in me.

Bobby Bones (16:41)

Do you have Paige backers? You don't get that one.

Kevin (16:44)

It doesn't matter.

Bobby Bones (16:46)

You didn't say it.

Eddie (16:47)

Brianna Stewart.

Kevin (16:49)

Don't know. That is dang. Paige Becker's thing.

Bobby Bones (16:53)

Caitlin Clark.

Kevin (16:55)

She never played for him. Never? No.

Bobby Bones (18:51)

You guys got any money on the games?

Matt Norlander (18:53)

Yeah.

Eddie (18:53)

No, dude, I haven't made one. Bet all the entire thing.

Bobby Bones (18:56)

Good for you.

Eddie (18:57)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (18:57)

Why?

Kevin (18:58)

For what reason?

Eddie (18:58)

No reason. Honestly, I just like, been so busy and then I just sit down and watch the game and I don't even think about it.

Kevin (19:03)

This is the first year in like probably 10. 10 years where I've made money off the tournament.

Bobby Bones (19:09)

Okay, here we go.

Kevin (19:09)

Yeah, I'm serious.

Bobby Bones (19:11)

Because earlier we said when you bet something, we want to be on the other side of it.

Kevin (19:14)

That's why I'm saying this.

Bobby Bones (19:15)

Yeah, we need to see our stats.

Kevin (19:16)

You guys are wrong.

Bobby Bones (19:18)

Pull your draft king stats up.

Kevin (19:19)

What do you want?

Eddie (19:19)

He hasn't shared any of his bets with us.

Bobby Bones (19:21)

But that's true, you know, and I'll throw mine out there. I'll put mine in the group text being like, guys, that's what I'm doing. You jump if you want.

Kevin (19:28)

Yeah, I'm not doing that now. Now is the point where it's like, I couldn't tell you who's going to win any of these games, but what do you want? Here, take over my account.

Eddie (19:39)

Okay.

Bobby Bones (19:41)

Let's see if I go to Eddie's.

Kevin (19:44)

Come on, let's go.

Bobby Bones (19:48)

My stat sheet. Okay, I should be.

Kevin (19:54)

Let's do the month. The month.

Bobby Bones (19:56)

Last month. Yeah, because that's wagered 900.

Eddie (20:00)

Oof.

Kevin (20:01)

God, when you put it that way.

Bobby Bones (20:03)

Your total winnings were.880. Minus 20 bucks.

Eddie (20:07)

Dang, dude.

Liberty Mutual Spokesperson (Liberty Mutual Ad Voice) (20:07)

Dang.

Bobby Bones (20:07)

So I'm down this month. You got nothing in.

Eddie (20:10)

So you lied.

Kevin (20:11)

April, I haven't bet yet.

Bobby Bones (20:13)

Yeah, but last month you. Now, dude, you weren't winning. Well, okay, this year. Let's do this year because a little.

Kevin (20:18)

Oh, this year is not good.

Bobby Bones (20:19)

Oh. Total wager, $2,395.

Eddie (20:23)

Dang.

Bobby Bones (20:24)

Eddie 1. $2,046.

Kevin (20:27)

That's close.

Bobby Bones (20:28)

Minus 340. Now, where's your winning? You're talking about.

Kevin (20:31)

No, no, I'm telling you, I've been winning. I think some of these losses are other sports. Like, I'll do nascar. Didn't win on that. But basketball. I've been hitting them, baby.

Bobby Bones (20:39)

You want all time.

Kevin (20:41)

No, no, no, no, dude, you'll ruin my day. Give that. Give that back. Give that back. We're not doing it.

Bobby Bones (20:47)

I hit all time.

Kevin (20:49)

No, no, no. My wife will listen to this and not.

Bobby Bones (20:51)

She will never listen to this.

Kevin (20:53)

Well, people send her stuff okay, if that's true, then if Bobby's gonna say it. Don't send her anything, guys.

Bobby Bones (20:58)

No, I don't have to because it's between us. If that's true, I won't say it.

Kevin (21:02)

If she hears that number, did she

Eddie (21:04)

ever find out about skins?

Kevin (21:05)

Nope.

Bobby Bones (21:07)

Nope. But then. So she doesn't listen.

Kevin (21:08)

Yeah, she. I don't. I don't know how she didn't find out.

Bobby Bones (21:12)

Okay, so then I won't read it.

Kevin (21:13)

It's bad. Rate the badness.

Bobby Bones (21:16)

I don't know.

Kevin (21:17)

What.

Bobby Bones (21:17)

What is your scale? If you've lost over a thousand dollars, that's. That's pretty bad.

Kevin (21:23)

All time.

Eddie (21:23)

How far are we going back?

Kevin (21:24)

Yeah.

Matt Norlander (21:24)

What.

Kevin (21:25)

When did I start drafting?

Bobby Bones (21:26)

I don't have your entire biography here, bro. All I have is my portfolio.

Liberty Mutual Spokesperson (Liberty Mutual Ad Voice) (21:30)

What did my problem begin?

Kevin (21:31)

Okay, let's see. I would guess that I started probably five years ago.

Bobby Bones (21:34)

Okay. And what do you think? You lose a year?

Kevin (21:37)

I probably lose a year. It was $50 a month, so 600

Bobby Bones (21:44)

bucks would be that number. Yeah.

Kevin (21:45)

And then I would. Sometimes I would do more. Like on my birthday, I would do 100. I would say I probably have 1500 a year.

Bobby Bones (21:54)

Wow. So if you lose 1500 a year. That's terrible.

Kevin (21:58)

It's terrible.

Bobby Bones (21:58)

Do you want to know your number? Maybe you have lost all time. $4,874.

Kevin (22:07)

Oh, that's not bad. Okay. Okay. That's better. That's better than I thought. That makes me feel better.

Bobby Bones (22:13)

Yeah. I think you've got that much entertainment out of it over the. Because that's what this is, right?

Kevin (22:17)

Totally.

Matt Norlander (22:17)

For sure.

Bobby Bones (22:17)

We're not trying to. Might make. We would like to make money.

Kevin (22:21)

Sure.

Bobby Bones (22:21)

But our betting is entertainment purposes, and

Kevin (22:23)

my excuse to my wife always was just like, you know, I've got to watch a lot of these games for our podcast. I got to know what's going on, so it helps for me to bet a little bit on it, and then I get a little interest and I watch all these games.

Bobby Bones (22:34)

Yeah, you're at $4,874.41 net total down.

Kevin (22:38)

So it's a $5,000 investment.

Bobby Bones (22:40)

Last year you had a bad year, dude, last year you lost 2100. Half of that was last year.

Kevin (22:44)

I think we all did, right? Didn't. Wasn't last year bad for me in the same category?

Bobby Bones (22:47)

Hey, we're not trying to jump into your boat.

Kevin (22:48)

Did you have a bad year last year?

Bobby Bones (22:50)

I've had. Yeah, last year was probably a bad year for me.

Kevin (22:53)

All right. Well, that's better than I thought.

Eddie (22:55)

Nice, dude. So you can drive home happy today.

Bobby Bones (22:57)

Yes.

Kevin (22:57)

And then my Calcutta, I have Illinois, who I bought for $90. So I'm still.

Matt Norlander (23:02)

You're up.

Kevin (23:02)

I'm rocking and rolling.

Bobby Bones (23:04)

Yeah, they could win. I don't think they will, but they could win.

Kevin (23:07)

I did get a deal on offer. Our Buddy Steve has UConn, and he hit me up and was like, hey, let's just make a deal where, like, we just split the money.

Bobby Bones (23:18)

Well, the difference is one of you then plays the championship game.

Kevin (23:20)

Well, we don't get the money on that one. Just on this game, we get the

Bobby Bones (23:22)

money, but then you have to do the math of subtract what I want to do. That's too confusing.

Kevin (23:26)

And plus, I feel like I have the upper hand with Illinois.

Bobby Bones (23:29)

Good for you. I wouldn't. But I don't think it's crazy close. I mean, I don't think it's far. I think Illinois played out of their minds.

Kevin (23:35)

Illinois, I think, is a one point favorite. Now, does that have to do. Because they're closer to Indianapolis? Is that.

Bobby Bones (23:43)

I don't know if that would affect a home game not being the same state, the only thing.

Eddie (23:47)

But, like, the neighboring state now, especially UConn's fan base. I mean, basketball wise, they're pretty widespread because.

Kevin (23:52)

What was that game? Is it Michigan or something? I. I mean, it was all Michigan fans there.

Bobby Bones (23:56)

Do you guys think Tiger woods was kind of lame when he goes, I just talked to the president, for sure. This dude, he's a bad dude anyway. Yeah, but now he's like, bad dude when he's over and over again putting other people's lives in danger. If he still played Sunday, next Sunday at the match, I'd be like, let's go, Tiger. You're in it. We'd be like, we're in it for Tiger. He's wearing red and black.

Kevin (24:18)

We're all wearing red.

Eddie (24:19)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (24:19)

Like, Tiger Wood's a bad dude.

Eddie (24:21)

Yeah. At this point, it's like, you can't. How do you stick up for him? But to your point, I would root for him.

Kevin (24:26)

Who sticks up for him personally? Like, fans. Not. Not people that know him. I get that. Like, you know him. He's a friend of yours. I get that. But like, fans, who sticks up for him personally?

Bobby Bones (24:35)

Nobody.

Kevin (24:36)

Nobody does.

Bobby Bones (24:37)

Nobody knows him, though, right? So.

Kevin (24:39)

Yeah, but there are lovable celebrities where, like, they do something wrong. Like, I don't know. I love that.

Bobby Bones (24:44)

I think he's had so many things happen that nobody Sticks up from personally. And then. So I was just talking. Calling the president when he's. You seeing the body cam?

Kevin (24:54)

Come on, dude.

Eddie (24:54)

Yeah, like.

Bobby Bones (24:55)

Okay.

Kevin (24:56)

Is that like Morgan Wallen calling Chief Eric Church? Hey, man, I'm at your bar. They're trying to arrest me.

Eddie (25:03)

But the president is a whole other level.

Kevin (25:05)

It is another level. But he's also dating the president's. Whatever.

Bobby Bones (25:10)

He's dating the president's son's former wife. Ex wife.

Kevin (25:15)

Is that right?

Bobby Bones (25:16)

Yes, the former wife.

Kevin (25:17)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (25:17)

He's dating, I think Eric's ex wife. Okay. But he's dating his.

Kevin (25:22)

Oh, so she's a Trump by name.

Bobby Bones (25:23)

Yes, but. Got it. Her daughter is the president's granddaughter.

Kevin (25:27)

Yes.

Bobby Bones (25:27)

So he's dating the president's granddaughter's mom.

Eddie (25:34)

Yes.

Kevin (25:36)

What's up with the hiccups, too? In the car, like, he had the hiccups?

Eddie (25:40)

Yeah,

Kevin (25:43)

well, yeah, when I'm drinking.

Bobby Bones (25:44)

He wasn't drinking.

Kevin (25:45)

He wasn't drinking.

Eddie (25:46)

I know, but he's got some other stuff in the system. Who knows? I don't know.

Bobby Bones (25:49)

Does the pill give you hiccups?

Eddie (25:50)

I don't.

Kevin (25:51)

Not that I know. My. My Zyrtec doesn't give me hiccups.

Bobby Bones (25:53)

That's a good point.

Kevin (25:54)

Mine doesn't either.

Bobby Bones (25:55)

Although I stay super dry with allergy stuff because I'd shoot medicine up my nose. The prescription allergy medicine, man. But what sucks is it dries me out a little bit. And then I just. It just tastes bad in my throat all day long.

Eddie (26:09)

Like that drip back in there?

Bobby Bones (26:09)

Yeah, it's like almost. I'd rather just have allergies, but I went and got allergy shots, but 12 year old for.

Eddie (26:15)

With 12 year olds.

Kevin (26:16)

Because mostly it's kids. I did that when I was like,

Eddie (26:19)

wait, what does that mean?

Bobby Bones (26:21)

I did an episode of Dog Daddy to me at the allergy place.

Kevin (26:24)

Hey, are you sitting in that waiting room with all the kids?

Bobby Bones (26:27)

It's me and a ton of kids and their parents. And so my allergies were so bad, my doctor was like, you need to have something like, let me send you to the allergist. And so I go to the allergist, they do the test on me. She's like, you have so many things you're allergic to. So what I would recommend is you come in for shots every week. And so it was like a two year deal. I went about a year and I just stopped going. I think I was on a vacation, a work trip, and I missed like four in a row. And I was like, I'm not going back. But I am convinced that going for at least a year has helped me tremendously.

Eddie (26:56)

Really?

Bobby Bones (26:57)

Man, I want to jinx it. But usually once a year, I lose my voice completely. Allergies, especially where we live.

Eddie (27:02)

Yeah. Oh, yeah, they're so bad here.

Bobby Bones (27:03)

Yep. So. But I haven't done that. I take my allergy medicine. My nose itches so bad, though, now. Does yours itch?

Kevin (27:09)

I feel like everything you're talking about, I have it.

Bobby Bones (27:11)

Like, you would think I was. Like, I've never even seen cocaine, but, like, I mess with my nose so much.

DraftKings Sportsbook Announcer (27:14)

Yeah, it looks like you're on it.

Eddie (27:16)

Have you guys. Speaking of cocaine, have you seen the Lamar Odom documentary? Documentary?

Kevin (27:20)

No, but I want to watch it.

Eddie (27:22)

Gotta watch it.

Kevin (27:22)

The little teaser that they put on it, you know, when you hover over the thumbnail.

Eddie (27:26)

Yeah, gotta watch it. Looks good. Why?

Bobby Bones (27:28)

What?

Eddie (27:29)

It's just wild. Look. And especially his life, obviously, we didn't know or I didn't know about his upbringing. Lost his mom at a young age. They get into this right in the beginning, and his dad left when he was young, and he was a drug addict and all that, so he went through a lot as a child and the Kardashian marriage that built around that, and he just went down a crazy. Just a wild path for a couple years.

Kevin (27:49)

Like the girl that he was hooking up with, like, called.

Eddie (27:53)

Yeah.

Kevin (27:53)

Who's he dating?

Eddie (27:54)

Chloe.

Kevin (27:55)

Yeah, Chloe. And said, look, I'm. I'm banging your boyfriend. Were they married?

Eddie (27:59)

Husband. No husband.

Kevin (28:00)

I'm banging your husband.

Bobby Bones (28:01)

He cheated a lot. I started Tristan Thompson.

Eddie (28:04)

True. Yeah. But Tristan, I mean, he. Lamar talks about how much, like, coke and freebase and some stuff just to get around the NBA drug protocol. It was wild. So.

Bobby Bones (28:15)

Liked it.

Eddie (28:15)

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Kevin (28:16)

Finish it.

Eddie (28:17)

Yeah. I got 20 minutes left.

Bobby Bones (28:20)

So when I met my wife, she was living in California. She was finishing up grad school. And so I had met her through my old PR person, who is from Oklahoma. You're gonna see where this goes. I'm gonna get to Lamar Odom. Oddly, the story's gonna connect to Lamar Odom. So at American Idol and Dancing with the Stars, I had a PR person that specifically was on me and a couple of other people, and she was from Oklahoma. So I'd spent a lot of time with her through multiple seasons of the show. She had a friend, it was Caitlin, who's from Oklahoma, that she went to college with. And so Caitlin was in California, and she was going to grad school, and Caitlin had already graduated from college, went into the workforce, was doing international commodities, oil and gas, living in Houston, and decided she wanted to get a master's so she could make more money, basically so she could do that job remotely. So she's in California. I ended up meeting Caitlin through this other girl who was my PR person. And so I'm flying back and forth, and Caitlin and I had started dating, and I said, hey, I'm coming in, because I'm going to do. I'm going to be at Dancing with the Stars for the first episode of this new season. It was the season Lauren Elena was on. And so I was going out there to support her. I said, hey, why don't you go as my date? And she was like, I don't know. Sure. She didn't really know we're gonna be on tv, but they put us right in the front. So it's me, it's Caitlin. We're sitting at a table, and I think Emmett Smith was sitting at the table with us, and somebody that Emmett was with. And then after that show, there's a party. There's the first episode party at, like, a restaurant. And it's a lot of the people from that season. One of the people from that season was Lamar Odom, I'm almost certain, unless he was there from another season. He was at that. That party. You may check and see if Lamar Odom was that season. But he was there. And so I don't know Caitlin very well. We've been on a couple dates, and so my wife is very funny, though. And so we're walking by, and she goes, there's. That's Lamar Odom. And he was sitting down in, like, a back stall. And I was like, yeah. And we're walking by her. She goes, justice for Chloe. As we're walking by.

Kevin (30:22)

Did he hear? Did he hear?

Bobby Bones (30:23)

It was loud, probably, but I remember thinking, this chick's funny.

Kevin (30:27)

That's funny.

Eddie (30:28)

That's great. This chick's especially to have, like, the balls to say, yeah, she didn't.

Bobby Bones (30:32)

Like, just for Chloe. Yeah, Mike. Yeah. It was in 2019.

Kevin (30:36)

That was it.

Matt Norlander (30:37)

The.

Bobby Bones (30:37)

The Lauren Atlanta season. Yep. Dang. So, yeah, so I've not met him. I've been near him, but he was doing Dancing with the Stars.

Eddie (30:44)

Okay.

Kevin (30:45)

Yeah. You may not know the answer to this, but, like, how does someone decide to. Like, I'm just gonna do a documentary, and I'm gonna tell my whole story. Like, is it money? Probably the producer come up.

Bobby Bones (30:54)

Yeah, there's probably some money behind it.

Eddie (30:55)

Yeah. Because it's A story that people will be interested in.

Bobby Bones (30:59)

They.

Eddie (30:59)

Even the. The bed that he overdosed in, like, it's some.

Bobby Bones (31:03)

He had a bad overdose.

Eddie (31:04)

Yeah, yeah, really bad. Out in Vegas.

Kevin (31:06)

This is the Bunny Ranch.

Eddie (31:07)

Yeah. Yep, exactly. Out in Vegas.

Bobby Bones (31:09)

And you're going hard if you're overdosing and you're at the Bunny Ranch, you're drugging and prostituting.

Eddie (31:14)

And then the guy who owned it, like, turned that bed into, like. Now people can come, like, see it. It.

Kevin (31:19)

Not see it.

Eddie (31:19)

It's weird, but, yeah, they can do

Bobby Bones (31:21)

it in it, probably.

Kevin (31:22)

Yes. That's what I would think.

Eddie (31:23)

I'm trying to think, like a tourist bed.

Bobby Bones (31:25)

Wow. All right, what do you guys want to do? Grand Canyon.

Kevin (31:29)

All right, kids, you decide.

Bobby Bones (31:30)

I want to go to the Lamar overdose bed at the Bunny Ranch.

Eddie (31:34)

It's wild, dude.

Bobby Bones (31:36)

Dang. I don't know that I'm interested enough to watch it for an hour and a half, but I'm definitely interested enough to hear the stories from it.

Eddie (31:43)

Yeah. Okay. Well, when I finish it, like I said, I got about 20 minutes. I had to take off when I was watching it, but I'm gonna finish it. And it's. Yeah, it's craz. Then even the whole, like, Kardashian thing. He pretty much married her just because he wanted to be more famous than he already was.

Bobby Bones (31:55)

Did he say that?

Eddie (31:56)

Yeah, yeah. He's like, I loved her, but I wanted to, you know, get to another level. He's like, I wanted to be an AA lister.

Kevin (32:02)

Dang.

Bobby Bones (32:02)

Yeah, it worked.

Eddie (32:04)

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Bobby Bones (32:04)

We're talking about him now. Not because he was a basketball player with drug problems, but he was a basketball player with drug problems who we know mostly from the Kardashians.

Kevin (32:11)

Yes.

Eddie (32:11)

And then they had their own series, Khloe and Lamar or something.

Bobby Bones (32:14)

Oh, they did?

Eddie (32:15)

Yeah. And she was like, I didn't want to do it. She's like, we already doing our family thing. I didn't want to do it, but he wanted to do it so bad. He got so excited that I was like, all right, let's just do it.

Kevin (32:24)

So she's in it too. She talks.

Eddie (32:25)

Oh, she's in it a lot.

Bobby Bones (32:26)

Yeah, yeah.

Eddie (32:27)

And then his. Oh, yeah. There's a story about it.

Bobby Bones (32:29)

They have a kid, because I know she does. With Tristan Thompson.

Eddie (32:33)

No. At least all that I've seen that. I have a kid, but he's got a couple kids with a form, with a high school, and he basically, like,

Bobby Bones (32:40)

man, basketball players, they just cheat. It's not a Lamar thing. It's not a Tristan Thompson thing. It's not. If you are with the Kardashian, you cheat. If you're a basketball player, for the most part, you're on the road, you're cheating. Yeah, it's like artists, like musical artists. I think I said 50% of artists. It's a bit different because they're just weekending it. Where basketball players can be on the road for a week at a time, bouncing different cities.

Kevin (33:01)

What about baseball players? Because they kind of have the same schedule.

Eddie (33:03)

Right.

Bobby Bones (33:04)

I don't know many baseball players.

Kevin (33:07)

Yeah, because it's got to be the schedule.

Bobby Bones (33:09)

But also you're playing day games sometime in baseball.

Eddie (33:11)

And I feel like there's so many games in baseball. I don't know.

Bobby Bones (33:14)

Pitchers.

Kevin (33:15)

Pitchers.

Bobby Bones (33:15)

Right.

Kevin (33:15)

They travel with a team, but they only have one game to pitch.

Bobby Bones (33:19)

The Wizards apologized for their April fool stunt, and I wish they wouldn't have apologized.

Eddie (33:23)

So weak.

Bobby Bones (33:23)

It was so dumb to apologize. Everybody stop apologizing for everything. So they did this bit. It was a half court shot. And so just what the video was. This guy's blindfolded. He shoots the half court shot, misses big time. But everybody starts jumping around and celebrating like, you won. And they're like, we got April Fool's joke on for $10,000. The thing was, even if they did the joke that's funny on the person. Let's say the person wasn't in on the joke, but the person was in on the joke. Even the person who shot the ball was in on the joke.

Kevin (33:51)

So who are they apologizing to? Us. Cause they got us.

Bobby Bones (33:53)

We apologized for last night's April Fool's joke. That left many wondering if we had misled a fan. The skit involving our mascot and other members of our performance team was scripted and intended to celebrate that day. All participants weren't on the joke, but we missed the mark. There's no mark you missed.

Kevin (34:06)

Nah, it's perfect.

Bobby Bones (34:06)

Stop apologizing for everything. So that happened.

Matt Norlander (34:10)

Yeah.

Kevin (34:10)

I would get. I would get it if, like, they totally messed with that person.

Bobby Bones (34:14)

Yeah. Made him look like a fool.

Kevin (34:15)

I get that. That's an apology.

Bobby Bones (34:17)

Didn't give him any money. Yeah.

Eddie (34:18)

And you can when you watch the video, I mean, you kind of tell he was in on it.

Bobby Bones (34:22)

It's easy to tell after, you know.

Kevin (34:23)

Yes.

Bobby Bones (34:23)

And on.

Eddie (34:25)

I saw it before. They apologize.

Kevin (34:27)

Like, it's like the Yukon shot. I knew that was going in. You have to stop.

Eddie (34:31)

No, these are.

Bobby Bones (34:31)

I'm too. Afterward, he claims what he knew.

Eddie (34:34)

Yeah. No, I watched it before they apologized, I was like, you might be in on it. You watch the video, you'll know.

Bobby Bones (34:39)

I watched the video talking to me before.

Eddie (34:41)

Before.

Bobby Bones (34:42)

Now, you know, I think everybody's in on everything.

Eddie (34:46)

Yeah, that's because.

Bobby Bones (34:48)

So I'm so cynical. I think everything is a bit or a stunt. So I probably thought, oh, this is all a bit. And they're fooling the fans. It's like 80% of marriage proposals that go wrong, they're all set up. If it's a marriage proposal that goes wrong on a Jumbotron is set up.

Kevin (35:02)

I agree with that.

Eddie (35:03)

Oh, yeah, that's true.

Kevin (35:05)

What about that clip you sent me last night?

Bobby Bones (35:07)

The jump rope guy?

Eddie (35:08)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (35:09)

Can we pull that up? So there's a guy who set a world record for jump roping. Have you seen this Club Kevin?

Eddie (35:14)

No.

Bobby Bones (35:14)

So I sent it to Eddie. Yeah, he did 288 jumps in 10 seconds. Watch this. This is unbelievable. His feet are moving so fast it looks like a blur. You don't believe that's real?

Kevin (35:36)

No, it's not real.

Bobby Bones (35:37)

No, it's the world record. What are you talking about? It's not real.

Kevin (35:40)

It's not real.

Bobby Bones (35:42)

There's nothing more real than that.

Eddie (35:43)

As soon as it stops, like, his feet just reappear.

Kevin (35:47)

I'll be honest though. You watch it twice, three times, you're like, is it real?

Bobby Bones (35:51)

Watch it again.

Eddie (35:52)

You don't think it's real?

Bobby Bones (35:57)

I think it's real.

Eddie (35:58)

It's real.

Bobby Bones (35:58)

I don't know why you guys are going, it's not real.

Kevin (36:00)

Are you joking? You guys are joking.

Matt Norlander (36:01)

You're joking.

Bobby Bones (36:02)

Have you learned that it's AI? Because this is real to me.

Kevin (36:05)

No, I've learned that people don't say that it's AI when it is AI.

Bobby Bones (36:09)

No, but you get fooled by AI all the time. I know me this longer. This feels real. Can you Google? I mean, I can do it here. What's the world. It says it is real. Yeah, that's real.

Eddie (36:21)

How do you count that too?

Bobby Bones (36:22)

They can slow it down. Yeah, they have to slow down and count it. I can't believe you thought that was fake. You think everything fake is real. Correct. And now you think real, real things are fake.

Kevin (36:30)

That's what happens when you get fooled so many times. You're like, nothing's real anymore.

Eddie (36:35)

Everything's a bit. Nothing's real.

Bobby Bones (36:38)

You thought that was fake? I wouldn't have sent you something fake.

Kevin (36:40)

I thought you were just trying to be funny. And I'd already seen it and I'd Already made up my mind that that was fake.

Bobby Bones (36:46)

Here you go. This is. I have it right here. The world record for the most single rope jumps. And I have 30 seconds. I have 10 seconds.

Kevin (36:57)

Is it the same dude that's broken record?

Bobby Bones (36:59)

This guy's name that I'm reading now for 30 seconds is sin Xialin. So I don't know. Mike, what do you see over there?

Eddie (37:05)

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing.

Bobby Bones (37:06)

We got Guinness World record, man.

Kevin (37:08)

His technique is.

Bobby Bones (37:09)

No, dude, admit it. You're wrong.

Kevin (37:10)

That's real wrong. I was wrong.

Eddie (37:11)

Yeah, me too.

Kevin (37:12)

I have no problem admitting that I thought that was real.

Bobby Bones (37:16)

World record. It's right here. It's the same guy. Sin Xia Lin. 10 seconds.228 jumps in Shanghai. That's what we plan to get now. You guys, you know it's real.

Kevin (37:29)

That's real. Let's watch it. Freaking feet.

Eddie (37:37)

Looks like it's glitching.

Bobby Bones (37:38)

Yeah, watch my hand. Look at my hand.

Kevin (37:41)

It looks like you're glitching.

Matt Norlander (37:42)

Look at my hand.

Bobby Bones (37:42)

You can't keep your eyes on it cuz it's so fast. And I just move my hand back and forth. This is the same thing. Can you see my hand? Can you see my hand?

Kevin (37:48)

No, I mean it's a blur.

Bobby Bones (37:49)

That's what his feet are doing.

Kevin (37:52)

I mean, how do you prepare for that? Like, how do you train for that? The technique he's using is almost like the technique we use on the Power Pad. You remember that?

Bobby Bones (37:59)

Yeah. Slap. But we would get down on our hands and do Power Pad.

Kevin (38:03)

Slap. No, I would do feet, but I would do it like just where I'm barely lifting.

Bobby Bones (38:07)

That's what he's doing.

Eddie (38:08)

Our pad.

Bobby Bones (38:09)

So it's the thing Nintendo had back in the day. And you could do Track and field was a great game. And you roll the pad out and give you two little things. We used to get down our knees and hit it with our hands. But you could do feet too. Okay. Supposed to do feet and you would like run on it and the hurdle would come.

Matt Norlander (38:22)

You jump.

Eddie (38:22)

So like a Wii kind of thing. But.

Bobby Bones (38:23)

Yeah, but with a.

Kevin (38:24)

Before all that.

Eddie (38:25)

Yeah, interesting. Yeah.

Kevin (38:26)

And Cheetah was the fastest dude you had to beat.

Bobby Bones (38:28)

Cheetah was.

Eddie (38:29)

Yeah, sounds about right. When his name is Cheetah.

Bobby Bones (38:31)

Yeah, yeah. And Hippo, one of the first, the slowest.

Eddie (38:35)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Bobby Bones (38:37)

The fact that you thought that was fake, of course you're fooled by everything and then you think everything real is

Kevin (38:43)

false because I'm trying to turn to that, like, mindset of thinking that, you know what? Don't fall for everything. It's just fake until proven true.

Bobby Bones (38:52)

Okay, but one simple Google proves it true.

Kevin (38:54)

I know, but then I feel Google's in on it, too. You know, like Google's in on it. Just keep going with this joke.

Bobby Bones (39:00)

The guy who believes everything thinks Google's in on the conspiracy.

Eddie (39:03)

Google's in on it.

Bobby Bones (39:04)

Okay, that's it. We're gonna take a break now and talk some real basketball. Look, Eddie, look. This is the same guy for the. For 30 seconds. Wow.

Kevin (39:10)

On the Guinness World Record site, that's the same guy. Same dude, different judge.

Eddie (39:16)

How thin is that?

Bobby Bones (39:16)

That here? Yeah, look at that. Boom.

Kevin (39:18)

I don't even see the. Oh, there it is. You can see a little bit of it.

Bobby Bones (39:21)

And he's bent all the way over, like, he's hunched over.

Liberty Mutual Spokesperson (Liberty Mutual Ad Voice) (39:24)

Wow.

Kevin (39:27)

That's pretty cool.

Bobby Bones (39:29)

That's crazy.

Kevin (39:30)

So this is the. He's the man for jump roping.

Bobby Bones (39:33)

Yeah, he is. He's just a man, period. Jump ropin or not. That is somebody. Who's the man?

Eddie (39:37)

The man, yeah.

Bobby Bones (41:34)

We're gonna go over now to Matt Norlander from CBS Sports, senior writer, college basketball insider, analyst and co host of the Ion College Basketball podcast. He's there at the Final Four this weekend. You can follow him on Twitter attnorlander. And again, the Ion College Basketball podcast. All right, big thanks to Matt for coming on. Here he is. Matt, I was reading your article on Bill Self returning to Kansas. Is he for sure back or would he do a Bruce Pearl and stay until it's so close to the time that he can retire and then pick his own successor?

Matt Norlander (42:04)

It's interesting you bring that up. I think there is a chance that could still be on the table, but I think the intention here is just for him to return for another full season at least. And you know, I'm glad to see that. But never say never. I think there's a mild possibility that he could get to October and who knows, because the biggest, the biggest part of self doing this in deciding here and now is his health. He's had multiple stents put in. He's had multiple heart issues. But you know, he's told me multiple times that as long as he was still feeling good, he was going to continue to coach. So my prediction would be that that means that he will indeed coach out. You know, I would never say that with 100% clarity.

Bobby Bones (42:47)

So you guys on your, your podcast, Ion College Basketball, are you guys doing a lot of talk about the coaching? I don't want to call it carousel. That's very football thing. But are you guys talking about that a lot and what are you doing with the North Carolina job at this point?

Matt Norlander (42:58)

Well, we talked about all of it on the Ion College Basketball podcast and you can call it the coaching carousel. That is a college hoops. That is in the vernacular as well, Carolina is the big one. And as actually as I talked to you here on Thursday morning, we're getting ready for a day's worth of media availability here at the Final Four. We've got, you know, a very unusual situation in that the North Carolina job is open. That's unquestionably one of the four best jobs in college basketball. And as that job is open, there are two candidates for that job that are actually facing each other in the Final Four. In Arizona's Tommy Lloyd. Don't know if either of them wind up taking the job, but to the best of my knowledge, and I went back and did a deep dive, this is the first time this has ever happened. We have never had a Final Four or national title game situation in men's college basketball where two primary candidates for an open job elsewhere in the sport happen to be facing off for their own respective teams there. So, yeah, we talk about the carousel on the ion college basketball podcast. Obviously, plenty of deep dives on all the other stuff there as well. I appreciate you mentioning that. But the North Carolina opening, you know, it is kind of dangling above the Final Four here in Indianapolis. No question about it.

Bobby Bones (44:05)

You cut out a little bit. I'm assuming Dusty May is the other person that you said when you were talking about the coaches.

Matt Norlander (44:09)

Yeah, if. If I cut out a little bit, my apologies there.

Bobby Bones (44:12)

I'm.

Matt Norlander (44:12)

I'm at the mercy of the, of the WI Fi here at Lucas Oil Stadium. But yes, Dusty May at Michigan, Tommy Lloyd at Arizona, and then Billy Donovan with the Chicago Bulls are the three primary targets right now. North Carolina, and it's opening as we speak here today. There's no clear indication if any of them is more likely than the other to say yes.

Bobby Bones (44:28)

If you were making that call, I feel like Billy Donovan would be the guy. If you get him to leave Chicago, leave the luxurious life of the NBA, what direction would you go?

Matt Norlander (44:36)

If it was. Well, if I knew that the. If I knew that the candidate would say yes, I would go Tommy Lloyd over. Over the other two. And it was. It would be a very narrow margins there. Tommy Lloyd has done an outstanding job at one of the top 10 jobs in the sport at Arizona. He has worked in this portal in nil era. Understand what it's about. He's got more wins through the first five seasons of his career than any coach in the history of the sport has had through their first five seasons coaching men's college basketball. So if I knew I was getting a yes from Tommy Lloyd, and I knew I was getting a yes from Dusty May, and I knew that I was getting a guess from Billy D. Donovan, which I don't think is going to be the case for North Carolina. I don't think all three are going to say yes. But if I knew I was getting yeses across the board and I got to pick, I would take Tommy Lloyd. Now, Donovan's an interesting one because he has more deep experience into the tournament, couple national championships, of course, multi, you know what, three Final four trips overall. But he hasn't been in the sport for more than a decade now. That's not to say that he can't return and have a lot of success. He could. But the other dynamic with Billy Donovan to keep in mind is that everyone kind of expects there to be a changing of the guard with the Chicago Bulls franchise. But there's going to be 8, 9, 10 jobs that change over at the NBA level this spring. And as was laid out to me by a well connected NBA source earlier this week, there aren't really eight or nine or 10 obvious candidates to fill those positions. So that means that if Billy Donovan wants to remain an NBA coach, he'll have one or two other spots that are going to open that he could get those jobs if he wanted. So just keep that in mind as well. There's a lot of talk about how he'd be open to going back to North Carolina or going to North Carolina to go back to college basketball. And I think that is possible. But don't underestimate the overall appeal of coaching in the NBA. And Billy Donovan will be no short. There'll be no shortage of options.

Bobby Bones (46:14)

What are your thoughts on Dan Hurley as a dude?

Matt Norlander (46:16)

Dan Hurley is one of the great characters in all of American sports. I know Dan well. I've known him for more than a decade. He is authentically himself. That can sometimes get him into trouble. I often find his natural personality to be entertaining, sometimes downright funny. Does he cross the line? Yes, he has, unquestionably so. But he is so very much himself. And I appreciate the fact that, you know, in the 70s and in the 80s and in the 90s, college football, college basketball, the, the lore of these sports was built out in part by the personalities and the characters of the coaches. And as you know, over the past 20 years, a lot of that has been stripped away from mainstream American sports and the coaching profession at any level. You know, professional football, baseball, basketball, the college ranks still have, have kept some of that personality. But it's a selling point for the sport to have coaches who are not overly guarded, who do not give pan, you know, trite, cliche answers. And so Hurley has become the face of the sport. While winning at a level that is outrageous. The fact that he has now brought a UConn program back to the Final Four for the third time in four years is amazing. And his, his, you know, his, his star senior Alex Caraban, he readies for this game against Illinois on Saturday with a 17. 1 record in the NCAA tournament, which is astounding.

Bobby Bones (47:38)

So they're going to play Illinois again. This is a rematch. Have these teams changed at all since they played the first time?

Matt Norlander (47:43)

Yes, they have. They are. They're definitely different teams. They played back the day after Thanksgiving at Madison Square Garden. It looked like they were playing in a level of Super Mario Brothers because the Knicks floor was still with that NBA cup deal back then. It was a very, very weird watch. But Keaton Wagler, who's an outstanding player for Illinois and one of the best freshmen in the country, one of the best players in the country despite not being a four star or even a five star prospect, he didn't really play a ton and didn't play that well in that game. He has since emerged to be just a stud. So does the fact that UConn won with ease over Illinois essentially more than, you know, four months ago, does it matter that much? I really don't think it does. The personnel is obviously mostly the same, but I don't think that has too much of a factor. But there is a certain mental edge that this coaching staff with UConn has because it wasn't just the win this season that they, they comfortably got it done, even though a lot of the personnel on the, on the court was different. Two years ago I was there in Boston in the Elite Eight. So just one round earlier than this right now, UConn eviscerated Illinois and at one point went on a 30 to 30 to nothing run in that game. I'd never seen anything like it. Wonder if that actually winds up being a significant advantage just on the coaching end and the prep end. I don't know if it will or won't, but that's a very, very good game. I could see either of those two teams winning. I wouldn't take too much stock into the fact that the Huskies were able to win with some ease against the Illini back at the end of November.

Bobby Bones (49:02)

I have two questions for you left to me. Just eyeballing it. Michigan and Arizona have been the dominant teams in the tournament. And as just an eyeball guy, it's like, I don't know. Whoever wins this probably has the edge to win the whole thing. Your thoughts on this matchup. And do you feel the same way about those two teams?

Matt Norlander (49:17)

The matchup is phenomenal. The winner of this, of that game on Saturday is going to be favored to win the title. But there have been plenty of instances over the years and we don't get this every single year, but there have been plenty of instances over the years where one Final Four matchup clearly seems to have the two best teams of the four in the national semis and then the winner of that game doesn't win the national title. So UConn and Illinois are both capable of winning two more. All of these I could see. It's not hard for me, Bobby. It's not hard for me to envision any of these teams being on the floor, confetting on the, on the court on late Monday night here in Indianapolis and getting it done. But these two, yes, they've been incredible. I've had the good fortune of seeing Arizona. I saw Arizona win at UConn back Arizona win a tough game on the road against AJ DeBonsa, the nation's leading scorer at the end of January at BYU. I saw Arizona win the Big 12 championship in person in Kansas City and in the process of doing that, beat Iowa State and maybe the game of the year, a buzzer beater courtesy of Jaden Bradley that transpired at the end of that incredible 40 minute battle. And I just was in San Jose last week and I saw Arizona escape the West Regional. They've been incredible. I've also saw Michigan in person multiple times this season, including when they beat Gonzaga by 40 and they also beat San Diego State and Auburn by 30 in that just humongously impressive run in the Players era championship back in Vegas in November. So if it was the national title game, sure it'd be incredible, it'd be amazing. But that's not how the brack works. They were both put on the right side of the bracket. They're going to square off here on Saturday. And what I think, Bobby, is if, if both teams, I've said this a couple times earlier this week and I genuinely believe it. If Arizona and Michigan on Saturday are able to play to their absolute peaks, if each of those teams and each of those coaches bring out the best in each other, then we have the potential for one of the best college basketball games that we've seen this decade. We'll see if we'll see if both can do it or if one side really gets the edge over the edge.

Bobby Bones (51:04)

Other My final question is very portal related. It's not officially open. You can't go for business yet, but everybody's declaring and you have some kids that are already committing. And again, the portal's not even open. But these coaches that are involved in the Final Four, they've got to be doing double duty right now, right?

Matt Norlander (51:19)

Yeah, to a certain extent, yes. Now, it's not as bad as it was a couple years ago. I actually remember literally going into the UConn locker room in 24, maybe it was 23. They went to title. Some of the. Some of the stuff bleeds together there. But as I was going in there, like, I quite literally saw on a zoom call with the transfer. Now, at that point, the portal was open. Thankfully, they have changed the rules, so players can't officially go in. Now, nothing's stopping these players from announcing that they're going to go into the portal. I understand that can and will happen, and that's fine. But from an official contact standpoint, like, yeah, coaches probably got a little bit of that going on, but based on my conversations, it's not as overwhelming as it was last year, the year before, and the year before that. It's an inevitability with this sport. This is one of those good problems that you'd like to have. You'd like to still be here at the Final Four. And if that means that, yes, you've got to roster, manage a little bit and have a couple of agents reaching out to your staff about potential guys that might be wanting to come to your program, it's not the most fun thing in the world, but it's much better than the alternative, and that's sitting at home watching the Final Four from your living room. So it's. It's still a better system than college football. I mean, college football's calendar and its portal cycle is. Is much worse than. Than on the hoops end here. At the very least, the portal will not officially open until next Tuesday, and then we're off to the races and free agency, really. It's, It's. It will be a mega spree in the ensuing month there in college basketball.

Bobby Bones (52:35)
