1. NCAA Injury Timeout Rule Changes

[03:08 - 05:17]

The hosts delved into the recent NCAA announcement regarding changes to the injury timeout rules. The new regulation aims to curb the strategic faking of injuries to disrupt opponents' momentum or conserve timeouts. Under this rule, if a player is genuinely injured and medical personnel enter the field after the ball is spotted, the team will be charged a timeout. If no timeouts remain, a five-yard delay of game penalty is imposed.

Casey: "Now the proposal to adjust the injury timeout rule resulted from teams faking injuries to stop their opponent's momentum or avoid using an allotted timeout."

Mike D: "If you're the defense and a player pretends to be injured, the offense automatically gets five yards."

This change is expected to encourage players to stay down immediately after a tackle, reducing game disruptions and promoting fair play.

This is a podcast called 25 Whistles Talking. And they all wear a whist. Stupid. But what did you expect? It's a podcast called 25 Whistles. Yeah, we missed that. I yelled sports from the back.

[Mike D]

You were the only one.

[Casey]

But I was half second late. That's all right. Welcome everybody. Eddie, blow the whistle. A couple things. The NCAA announced yesterday that it's playing rules oversight panel has approved changes to the injury timeout rules. This is basically if someone's injured and let's say there's an offense that's running a lot of no huddle. A lot of. So I'll grab my hamstring.

[Mike D]

Yep.

[Casey]

Slow it down. Under the new rule approved, if medical personnel enter the field to evaluate an injured player after the ball is spotted by the officiating crew for the next play, the player's team will be charged a timeout. If the team doesn't have any timeouts remaining, a five yard delay of game penalty will be assessed. The proposal to adjust the injury timeout rule resulted from teams faking injuries to stop their opponent's momentum or avoid using an allotted timeout. So, yeah, you know, we don't talk about the avoid a timeout thing as much. Mostly it's if Oregon's running wide open and they're just trying to slow it down so they can, you know, have a conversation. But yeah, sometimes they just do it so they can have a conversation.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Casey]

That's fun. Well, good.

[Olivia Carville]

That's good.

[Mike D]

The five yard delay, the. That that would be like. So if you go. You're the defense, right? You go down, legs hurting, the offense automatically gets five yards.

[Casey]

Yes.

[Olivia Carville]

Yes.

[Mike D]

Okay.

[Casey]

If the person runs onto the field after the ball is spotted by the officiating crew for the next play. So I'm trying to. My players go down quick.

[Mike D]

Yeah, real quick.

[Casey]

If you're. So this is how you would kind of circumvent. You had to go, okay, if we're going to do this. When you go down, when you make the tackle, you get in on it and don't get Up.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Casey]

Instead of like the guy standing up and going, oh, and falling.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Casey]

It's going to be more people staying down.

[Olivia Carville]

It's kind of got. Got to be like a coach. The play before being like, hey, hey, hey. Next play, like, it's done. Stay down.

[Casey]

Yeah. There's no real sign you can send.

[Mike D]

Right.

[Casey]

It's got to be. Yeah. It's going to have to be predictive.

[Olivia Carville]

By a play because they're already going to. Yeah, they're already figuring out ways to beat it.

[Mike D]

This is the liar rule, where now.

[Casey]

You do see players look to the sideline and then grab their hamstring and.

[Olivia Carville]

Fall down and just fall straight.

[Mike D]

Or when they're walking all normal and then they just fall and the coach.

[Olivia Carville]

On the sideline pointing to the ground.

[Mike D]

Right.

[Casey]

I do like it. They're trying to fix that because that is a very annoying part of the game.

[Mike D]

You had a good one, though. It was like, what was your.

[Casey]

You have to stay out the whole series. Yeah. You're not out the whole game. I think if it happens, you're out the whole series. If that whole possession you're out and you go down, trainers got to come out. Even if you're okay and they have to stop play, you're out for the whole entire drive.

[Mike D]

That'll teach them.

[Olivia Carville]

And that may become a thing in a couple years. Like, if this isn't a nice.

[Casey]

I would cheat with this immediately.

[Olivia Carville]

Like, we just came up with this on the fly.

[Casey]

Yeah, we modified it. I was watching a TikTok about Mike Leach, who mostly is known for Texas Tech, but also coached at Washington, Mississippi State, and one of his assistant coaches who. I'm not sure if he's coaching anymore or maybe he was just like a GA at the time. He said they literally had a meeting on short down situations where Mike Leach was like, why can't we get a little person to be on the team? And if it's third and one, fourth and one, we just pick him up and throw him over for the couple yards.

[Mike D]

Pick him up and throw him.

[Casey]

I thought he was gonna go, you hand on the ball. They can't see him.

[Mike D]

Me too.

[Casey]

But he said, why can't we just pick him up and throw him over?

[Mike D]

That is hilarious.

[Casey]

He said, Mike Leach tried so many things, or at least tried, like, they thought about so many things to not cheat, but within the rules, find ways that other people weren't using. Now the problem is you can't, like, take a player. It's why the tush push is eventually going to be banned because they're going to go. You can't push other players and you're not supposed to now you're not supposed to grab them pulling forward. Defensively you can't do that. You can't jump off somebody to block a field goal.

[Mike D]

You can't push them though, right into.

[Casey]

The end zone offense. Defensively you can't.

[Mike D]

Defensively you can't.

[Casey]

So that's already part of it. And it used to be offensively and I don't know if you can drag. I don't think you can drag them, but I think you can like join the pile and push. Yeah, so. But Michael H. Wanted to throw them over the line.

[Mike D]

I mean that would be the dream for all the small guys too. Like. Yeah, I made the team. Oh yeah, we're positioning play. Oh, they throw me over for the first down.

[Casey]

What do they call that? The cannonball.

[Olivia Carville]

That would be awesome. The walk on finally gets his touchdown.

[Casey]

The problem is the other team would then start to throw people up at the same time. And then the little. Then the little guy's getting killed in midair.

[Mike D]

Two little guys being thrown.

[Casey]

I don't think it'd be a little. It'd probably be just a smaller big guy.

[Mike D]

Well, how do you pick them up? The little ball, the little guys? Because you can pick them up and throw them.

[Casey]

Yeah, but imagine a defensive player. Those cheer. Those dude cheerleaders can throw other dude cheerleaders.

[Mike D]

Sure, sure.

[Casey]

The. The offense just has to pick the place to strategically do it. The defense is throwing somebody up. He's trying to stop him, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought that was funny.

[Olivia Carville]

Picturing that in your head is, is a great vision though.

[Casey]

You ever see the picture? It's. It's black and white baseball where they bring out the little person to bat. So he. He gets walked. No, I think he has a world record for the smallest major league baseball player ever.

[Mike D]

No, that's mlb.

[Casey]

Yeah, but it's black and white days and he's like 3 foot 6 or something.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, interesting.

[Casey]

Ended up not working eventually. They. They kind of can that rule.

[Mike D]

I did see a tik tok of like a. Was it a Dodgers pitcher who was like just mimicking his pitchers like other pitchers? Clayton Kershaw and like. And it was during a game like so he would just mimic their wind up.

[Casey]

The game was over though. It was okay.

[Mike D]

Was that real?

[Casey]

It was like when you. Yes, but it's like when you bring in an outfielder to pitch. The game was over. It was out of hand. He was just doing it for fun because the game was over.

[Mike D]

Yeah. And all the pitches were really slow and they couldn't even hit them. They were trying to hit the slope pitches, but they really couldn't because they were just so lobby.

[Casey]

Yeah, that's what that was.

[Mike D]

Okay, got it.

[Casey]

NBA playoffs start on Saturday. And the reason that Houston could not win the championship is the reason that the Thunder won't win the championship. And I'm a Thunder fan. I won't say a massive Thunder fan, but I'm rooting for the Thunder. My family are all Thunder fans. My father in law watches all Thunder games. That's crazy. My wife's a Thunder fan, so I'm rooting for the Thunder. I have a. I won't say friend, but I have somebody I'm friendly with. I have been for a long time that plays for the Thunder. So I'm a Thunder fan.

[Olivia Carville]

He's played really good.

[Casey]

He is. He's got three triple doubles this year. He comes off the bench, he has three triple doubles. Talk about Jalen Williams. Arkansas Jalen Williams.

[Mike D]

Yeah, right, right.

[Casey]

They have two Jalen Williams. J A Y same draft, they drafted two guys, Jalen Williams from California and Jalen's from Arkansas, first and second round, same exact name.

[Mike D]

So confusing.

[Casey]

Crazy. So one's just Jalen Williams, the first round pick. And J will is for the most part what they call Arkansas Jalen Williams. But he comes off the bench, he's developed a three point shot and he's got three triple doubles this year.

[Mike D]

That's awesome, man.

[Casey]

So Thunder are the favorites to win it all. Plus one 75, barely ahead of the Celtics at plus two 20.

[Mike D]

What do you think about that?

[Casey]

You know, I think part of the reason is that Cleveland's in the East.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Casey]

And I think Cleveland is seen as probably the next best team. And Boston has to go through Cleveland because look at the east and the West. So the Thunder are the one, Houston's the two, Houston's playing Golden State, who's the seven?

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah. Which is a kind of a toss. I think Golden State might be favored in that series.

[Casey]

I think Golden State's favored. Yeah.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Casey]

So you're looking at the. The Lakers are three and they're playing Minnesota.

[Olivia Carville]

That's gonna be a good one.

[Casey]

And then four and five, Denver and Clippers. Okay. And I think when you look at those teams on in the east. Cleveland. Cleveland is the one.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Casey]

I. I just think the reason the Celtics are plus 220 is not because of a head to head with OKC. Because I think if we're Boston, OKC, Boston would be the favorite. But I think the Celtics have to get through a better team than the Thunder would have to. If it came down to one. Like in the final.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah. Like if the Celtics were the one seed, you think it'd be flip maybe?

[Casey]

No, but I think that if it were the Celtics and the Thunder, the Celtics would be the favorite. I just think the Celtics have a harder road because there's one better team on the East. It's better than anybody else on the West.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah. Yeah. The west is deeper, but the east is more top loaded.

[Casey]

The west has, for example, Houston. They're very young. They play defense like maniacs. Like they're basically like Houston College. Houston. They play defense like Maniacs.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Casey]

The three seed, the Lakers, they don't have any big guys. Like they play small ball as regular ball. Like lebron has to sometimes guard a five. So they don't really have a true center. So it's all small ball.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Casey]

So as you go down, there are a lot of Denver, they just fire.

[Olivia Carville]

Their coach and gm.

[Casey]

And gm.

[Mike D]

Oh boy.

[Casey]

And they do have the best player, but also they have not played two year ago Denver. So you're right. The west is deeper, but the east has better teams. Yeah.

[Olivia Carville]

Because if you're okc, you'd rather play. Yeah.

[Casey]

OKC has the. Right now the best line. I was looking at it this morning. As of Right now, the 8 is not settled. The Sevens are up because they've already won.

[Olivia Carville]

These playing games are confusing, by the way.

[Casey]

They are. But the eights aren't settled yet. As of right now they will be. But Oklahoma City plays whomever WINS the West 8, which is going to be Dallas Mavs and. Or.

[Mike D]

Or Golden State.

[Casey]

No, Golden State's already in. They're the seven. Nope. And so. And then after that. Yeah, they're. They're. I don't have it in front of them, but they're. They're trajectory Grizzlies. Yeah. Oh, they're gonna suck. They've won like 12 of 30.

[Olivia Carville]

I know. And they're six and a half point favorites against Dallas. I mean, Dallas is. I know they're not that good, but dang.

[Casey]

Just generally. I mean, the Grizz lost to Golden State and that was a pretty good game.

[Mike D]

Yeah, it was.

[Casey]

That end up being a pretty good game.

[Mike D]

We covered that one.

[Casey]

But yeah. Anyway, playoffs coming. I like playoff NBA basketball.

[Mike D]

This one you start watching, right?

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, yeah, definitely. It is a little bit too long though.

[Casey]

I agree.

[Olivia Carville]

I feel like the first round should go back to five games.

[Casey]

I would love three. Five. Seven. Seven.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah. Yeah, that would be great.

[Casey]

That'd be cool. But NBA is all about the playoffs and they got to make their money.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, I get it.

[Casey]

Yeah. This is when I start to care. I've watched a lot of NBA. Never fully committed, but I have NBA Sunday ticket. So I keep it on a lot of times.

[Mike D]

The week Pass. Yeah, every day of the week.

[Casey]

And so I keep it on a lot. And so I just catch random games. Yeah, yeah.

[Olivia Carville]

So you're pulling from the Thunder.

[Casey]

Absolutely.

[Olivia Carville]

Okay.

[Casey]

I've, I, I bet the Lakers. As soon as that trade happened, I jumped on that pretty quick. So if the Lakers win. The interesting thing about the Lakers is if they win because they're playing Minnesota, I do expect them to beat Minnesota. And then Golden State and Houston, they're the favorite. Then LeBron's playing Steph, and then one of them will at least be in the Western Conference finals. And that's what the TV network wants.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Casey]

One of them.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah. They'll be happy about that.

[Casey]

Yeah. I mean, LeBron or step versus the Thunder. That's great. That's the young team versus, you know, the old goat. Whichever. Whichever one of them that's still elite.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah. It's kind of like the passing of the guard almost.

[Casey]

And then on the other side are probably Boston and Cleveland. And Boston won last year, but nobody knows about Cleveland. Unless you're like a die hard. You don't know how good Darius Garland is this year. Unless you've, like me, I just stumble and we'll watch some Cav stuff.

[Olivia Carville]

They're good.

[Casey]

Yeah, they're really good. But yeah, Cleveland. And so no one's. Unless you're a dire Cleveland fan or an NBA fan, you're not drawn to go watch the Cavaliers play?

[Mike D]

No. They're not on like prime television or anything.

[Casey]

Yeah.

[Olivia Carville]

No. And Donovan Mitchell can put up 45 any night.

[Casey]

Both those guys.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Casey]

Bryce Harper used a blue bat to show he was having a boy. They did a gender reveal in a game.

[Mike D]

That's awesome.

[Olivia Carville]

That's really cool.

[Casey]

I saw the picture and I was like, why is he sending a blue bat? Then I went and read underneath it. But Bryce Harper is expecting his fourth child, a baby boy.

[Mike D]

Oh, boy.

[Casey]

What?

[Mike D]

Four kids, man.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Casey]

We got a lot of money, though.

[Mike D]

I know. They got nannies.

[Casey]

You're going to have 14 nannies. The Phillies player announced the news with the help of a custom baby blue bat handed him by teammate Trey Turner before he stepped up to the plate. Harper and his wife Kayla are already parents of crew daughters Brooklyn and Cameron. And, yeah, I don't know if he knew and they handed him the bat, but I think he knew and they handed him the bat.

[Mike D]

That's just how he told everyone else.

[Casey]

Probably, but I'm not sure about that. But I would think you aren't told in front of everybody by a bat. Like, they hit it. They hit a bat, or you tell.

[Mike D]

Your family, like, all right, I'm gonna reveal. So watch tonight.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, that'd be cool.

[Casey]

Yeah. So, yeah, I like it. Good for them. I saw him walk into a casino in Vegas with a sling on when he had surgery.

[Mike D]

Really?

[Casey]

Yeah, him and his wife. I didn't say anything to him.

[Olivia Carville]

Is he big at all? He's a decent size, right?

[Casey]

He's thick.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Casey]

I don't remember being super tall, but I don't know.

[Mike D]

Two Cs.

[Casey]

I don't know what he weighs.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, thick, two Cs.

[Casey]

You're gonna have surgery.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Casey]

Speaking of slings. Oh, no.

[Olivia Carville]

What happened? Dude, I gotta pull an Eddie over here. I found out, so I got injured. This is 2012, playing football. Got tackled, landed on my shoulder, heard a pop. They were like, hey, you tore your AC joint. One of those is never gonna get worse but never gonna get better. And, you know, you're 22 at time 21. You're like, I don't want to be in a sling. I don't want to do this. And so I've kind of put it off since then. And lately, the last couple years, like, it's gotten worse and worse, and it's felt worse. So I finally went and saw a specialist.

[Casey]

You're about to have kids. Two babies.

[Olivia Carville]

I know. He was like, you got to put.

[Casey]

This off for five years.

[Olivia Carville]

Well, that's what I'm.

[Mike D]

All right.

[Casey]

Yeah, you got to put it off for five years.

[Mike D]

You've been dealing with it.

[Casey]

You're going to have to hold a baby so much, but.

[Olivia Carville]

But I got to do it before I can, like, lift them and play with them at the same time. So there's that fine line. I'm buying myself time now. And he gave me a steroid shot to kind of get me through, and we'll keep going back every six weeks or something. But he's like, six weeks in a sling is the recovery.

[Casey]

You need to wait till they're two or three.

[Mike D]

Yeah, I would wait.

[Casey]

How long?

[Mike D]

Yeah. I mean, ask your wife. I'm sure your wife would Say, wait, because I'm gonna need your help.

[Casey]

Well, yeah.

[Olivia Carville]

She's like, let's just reevaluate, you know.

[Casey]

In two years, two or three months.

[Olivia Carville]

After they're born, and we'll see where we're at.

[Mike D]

Dang, that sucks.

[Olivia Carville]

It sucks, man. Really sucks.

[Casey]

But it's also on you for putting it off.

[Olivia Carville]

I know. I agree. I was young and dumb when. When you're 22, that's time to get these kind of surgeries.

[Casey]

Funny that it's happening that now you find out you need to do it right when you're having kids.

[Olivia Carville]

I know, I know.

[Casey]

You could even a year ago.

[Olivia Carville]

I know, I know.

[Mike D]

But you've been working out and everything, like, just kind of fighting through it.

[Casey]

Yeah, yeah, I can go on, man.

[Olivia Carville]

I just.

[Casey]

In the cudge.

[Olivia Carville]

I just have to go lighter on the weight and stuff, you know, just go hard and it's, you know, it's one of those. You're like. Yeah. You know, you push yourself a little bit.

[Mike D]

Like, I'm thinking, too. I'm gonna need to. I mean, I'm gonna need to do something with my arm because it's popping.

[Casey]

You need to do proper rehab with it.

[Mike D]

I need. I think I need an MRI to make sure that everything's okay.

[Casey]

Great. You should do that. And they're going to say it's okay. But all your muscles are so freaking tight because you didn't. After it was broken, you never did the things you needed to do to get it back to normal. You just tried to get back to normal.

[Mike D]

Yeah, I went and jumped right to normal.

[Casey]

Yeah. You're like, well, it feels good. Now I can start to do push ups. Ow. Where it's. If you hurt your. You tear your Achilles. You got to do, like, water treatment. You got to do all this stuff that gets you to the point where you can be even again. Now, yours wasn't as severe as that, but you didn't even do, like, three weeks of just band or work.

[Mike D]

I did about one week, but that was within, like, one weeks of worth. Within three weeks?

[Casey]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

I didn't do it every day. I would do, like once a week.

[Olivia Carville]

Three weeks worth.

[Casey]

It wasn't right. Okay, last. Oh, speaking of basketball, before we end this, did you see the girl that was with the bag?

[Olivia Carville]

No.

[Casey]

So last night, or maybe the night before last, it was the magic game, and they show the bench and. Because I wasn't watching the game, but I saw the clip many times, and you don't see her head, but she's in A, like, a wife beater T shirt she has. Why people even notice her is because she has big boobs and you see, like, her cleavage, but she pulls, like, a bag out and is, like, hitting the bag. And what you see is her what looks like. And you can Google and see if they found out anything else. Looks like her pulling out a bag of cocaine.

[Olivia Carville]

Oh, no.

[Mike D]

No way.

[Casey]

Right behind the bench on tv. Some people are like, it's a hand warmer. That ain't a hand warmer. And I'm not for sure that it's cocaine. And there could be an update, but, man, did it look like. And that's why I saw it, because it went viral. But you guys pull it up and look at it.

[Mike D]

Okay.

[Casey]

Because it's a little plastic baggie.

[Mike D]

Where's the video? Okay, I'm popping up the video. It's buffering.

[Casey]

Classic, Classic.

[Olivia Carville]

Classic buffer.

[Casey]

Did you find it, Kevin?

[Olivia Carville]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Casey]

You.

[Mike D]

Oh, are you watching it?

[Olivia Carville]

Oh, yeah.

[Casey]

The only reason you're drawn to is because it's like.

[Olivia Carville]

Yes, I was gonna say. Oh, that's why I said that's why.

[Casey]

Everybody saw it, because their boobs was hanging out, basically. And then all of a sudden, she.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, my guess would be a bag of cocaine for sure.

[Casey]

Now, again, these are just guesses.

[Mike D]

My video hasn't started yet.

[Olivia Carville]

Dude, that's a lot.

[Casey]

What dialogue?

[Mike D]

There we go. There you go. There you go. I got. She's got the bag. She's shaking it. I've never done that, so I don't know. I mean, it looks like a bag.

[Casey]

Of some sort, but a small bag of cocaine.

[Mike D]

And they should have gone back to her and see what she did with it. They would really know.

[Casey]

I don't think that on TV they even knew, but people saw it and sort of put it online. And, I mean, that's when I saw it was when it went viral.

[Mike D]

That's such a good point, though. The first time anyone even saw it's because she has big boobs.

[Casey]

Of course. Yeah.

[Olivia Carville]

That's what you're drawn to.

[Casey]

There's 70 people back there. Yeah. The other one was. And this has been viral for a couple days. But the guy. Which, by the way, give the guy a break. But he's. It's the Braves broadcast, and he's up in, like, the party deck, and he gets the girl's number. You see this?

[Mike D]

No.

[Casey]

Okay.

[Mike D]

No.

[Casey]

So he's like the reporter. They're in the party deck, and he's in between two late 20s, early 30s females, and he's Got the mic and he's just kind of talking with them. Mike, would you hit that?

[I]

We're having a lot of fun up here up the Corona rooftop. Who do we got here? What's your name?

[Casey]

My name's Lauren Lawrence.

[Mike D]

All right.

[Eddie]

And I'm Kayla.

[I]

Kayla. And you guys hang out the rooftop lounge often?

[Casey]

Once a year I come out to visit.

[I]

Okay, well, we timed it pretty well. All right, good. How are you guys feeling about route for the Braves today?

[Eddie]

Oh, I don't know. I'm hoping for the best.

[I]

What about you? Are you a Braves fan now?

[Casey]

Not quite.

[I]

Not quite. All right, I'm going to go to work up here, guys. Good luck the rest of the way. Okay, Wiley, you got five innings, four innings to get the numbers.

[Mike D]

Get us some more Braves fans.

[I]

All right, so they want me to get your number.

[Olivia Carville]

They want you to get my.

[I]

That's, I'm dead serious. They're saying to my ear right now, she doesn't believe me because she thinks you guys are, are not making this up. Even if you guys weren't, I might use that in the future. That's a pretty, actually pretty good move. This is unbelievable.

[Olivia Carville]

So the best part of this right now is that Wiley could totally be faking it. This might be the new move. Just around with a fanduel microphone and.

[Casey]

An earpiece in and convince fans that.

[Olivia Carville]

They'Re actually on tv.

[I]

I should have thought of this years ago. I, I, I am speechless. I, I got the number. We're good.

[Casey]

Wow. So they're torching this dude online. They were like, if this were a woman doing it. This is so. Everybody needs to relax. Yeah, chill one. She could have just said no. She could have just said, no, I don't want to give you my number.

[Mike D]

You think she felt pressured to give him the number?

[Casey]

It'd have been funny if she just said no, right?

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, that would have. Yeah.

[Mike D]

I think she really wanted to give him the number because she was like, oh, they wanna, they want you to get my number.

[Casey]

Yeah, there was definitely some flirtation happening there. Yeah, the Internet was just all pissed off about it.

[Mike D]

Hey, good job, dude.

[Casey]

Well, he, he didn't do anything. His guys convinced that he was gonna do nothing. He sounds like me when I was dating. I don't know what to do.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, he sounded awkward.

[Casey]

Yes. And they were. And he was like, well, they want me to do this and those.

[Mike D]

He was like, that was a riveting interview too.

[Casey]

Yes, but they were. Internet was crushing them. It's like, guys, relax. Nobody got hurt.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, it's fun.

[Casey]

Nothing sexist happened.

[Mike D]

And I enjoyed listening to that. Hilarious.

[Casey]

So, okay, that's that. I just wanted it to be known that I do not side with the Internet with pitchforks that are like, if a woman did this or this is sexist or let people have fun, she did not have to give him her number. And who knows if that was the right number, Right? Who knows?

[Mike D]

We get a follow up next game.

[Casey]

We have our hottest takes coming up in a second, and we're going to play name, name where the university is. Like, I'll give you a town, you tell me. The university.

[Mike D]

Okay.

[Olivia Carville]

All right.

[Casey]

Eddie's been sucking at parlays.

[Mike D]

I almost so bad.

[Casey]

Dude, you missed another one.

[Mike D]

I missed another one, but I miss a lot.

[Casey]

But I just say, call me out. No, I just want you to join the team.

[Mike D]

Well, call me out, because even my personal bets, dude, I'm just cold, man. Like, I haven't hit anything after the Masters. I couldn't hit anything.

[Casey]

The 25 whistles parlay on DraftKings. So, heat at Hawks. How about Trey Young? First he nutmegged the guy, but he already got in trouble once for not throwing the ref the ball. But then he chunked the ball at the ref 2, and then he spun it out. Then he got the second technical and he was out.

[Olivia Carville]

He looked like a child, man.

[Casey]

Yeah, he does look like a child. He. Yeah, but it's always how good he plays versus how childish he is. Had they won that game, it been like, he's kind of baller.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Casey]

And you know when he wins in New York and he does the bow, like, that's always cool when you win, but when you do stupid crap and you lose, you look 12. Yeah, it's baller. If you do it when you win, you look like a child if you do it when you lose.

[Mike D]

Bad for the refs, though. They're like, literally, just give me the ball, dude.

[Casey]

Please.

[Olivia Carville]

What are we doing here?

[Casey]

So it's the Heat minus one and a half at the Hawks. I'm just going to go anti Trey Young. I'm going to go Heat minus one and a half.

[Mike D]

We're protesting.

[Casey]

The Grizz are six and a half point favorites. I don't think that's enough in Memphis. You don't? Okay, great. Then we'll go with the Mavericks plus six and a half. That's Eddie's pick on that.

[Mike D]

Oh, great. Cold Eddie's pick.

[Casey]

Yeah. Freeze and Eddie.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Casey]

So we'll do those two and then let's go over 218 and a half for heat and Hawks.

[Olivia Carville]

I like that.

[Casey]

So we'll go Heat minus one and a half and over 218.5. And then we'll go Mavericks plus six and a half. We'll see what happens. Download the DraftKings sportsbook app. Use the code Bobby Sports. That's our parlay. Download the app, use the code Bobby Sports. One word. Thanks.

[Margie Murphy]

[e-mail] In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare.

[Olivia Carville]

Someone was posting photos.

[Eddie]

It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own.

[Kevin]

I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream.

[Margie Murphy]

It happened in Levittown, New York.

[Kevin]

But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography.

[Bobby Bones]

This should be illegal, but what is this?

[Kevin]

This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy.

[Margie Murphy]

And I'm Olivia Carvell.

[Kevin]

This is Levittown, a new podcast from iHeart podcasts Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope.

[Margie Murphy]

Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Casey]

So I gave everybody the task of giving me their best hot take today. I have four.

[Mike D]

Four hot takes.

[Casey]

Well, that's why I did it, because I had four and I was like, all my takes are so hot. I need some company.

[Mike D]

Oh, wow. I had a hard time finding mine. But I got a good one, though. And it's gonna make me sound old, but I got a good one.

[Casey]

Okay. Most hot takes do make you sound. At least me made me sound out of touch because they're so hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can go first. What's your hot take?

[Mike D]

All right. Yeah, I got you. Money is ruining. And we saw it, you know, with the Masters. Look, once it happened with PGA and Liv. Liv, all these golfers decided to go for the money, right? And they went to live. Now they can't even contend with the PGA. Players like DeChambeau crack like a baby. He was terrible. John Rahm was there somewhere. Everyone else, they were terrible.

[Casey]

I don't think that that's so hot about Liv. I think they're playing these 54 hole tournaments. They're not having to play that much. They're making all this money. I think that just human nature, like, they're not having to grind as hard, consistently, constantly. Therefore, when it's time to grind or the pressure hits, because there is no pressure, really. Playing with live, you're getting paid anyway.

[Mike D]

Exactly.

[Casey]

That. That does affect them. Now, overall, I'd like to hear more just in general about the money thing, running sports.

[Mike D]

Yes. So that's the Masters, right? March Madness. What happened there with Nil? I mean, now March Madness, the first two days of the tournament or the first two rounds of the tournament, they're just trash, man. Because the schools with all the money dominate now. Little McNeese was the only one. That was a kind of a shocker. Everyone else, dude. And why? Because money is ruining sports. Look at my Dallas Cowboys. What happened to them? All the money in the world give it all to the quarterback. We suck. Money is ruining sports.

[Casey]

I'd like to meet it, but do.

[Mike D]

You agree with it?

[Casey]

No, no, no. I think money actually makes sports a lot better because great athletes then decide to pursue this job.

[Mike D]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. In order for.

[Casey]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

Because we have the best athletes in sports.

[Casey]

Well, it'd be like if you paid teachers a million dollars a year, you would have freaking doctors going, I'd rather just be an English teacher because I'm making a million bucks a year. So it draws the best, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think. But though this has been an argument for. Since players have started to be paid, period.

[Mike D]

So now they're really getting paid.

[Casey]

But they've said that every time since professional sports has existed and lockouts have existed and contracts have existed and public contracts have existed, this has been the argument. And it's just a different generation. You are the new generation of, well, that ain't country, because the last. That's my country, is steel guitar and fiddle. But then when that was it, there was a version of that that was like, well, that ain't country, that.

[Mike D]

So I hate that guy, too.

[Casey]

I think.

[Mike D]

Yeah, I don't want to be that guy.

[Casey]

But I do think there are parts of professional sports that at times could feel like we're less attached to them because of money, but I think our parents and our grandparents felt the same way. As players started to get paid more, as I think they became less interested as their version of sports was getting farther from what they grew up watching.

[Mike D]

Like, I think we get the prime athletes because of money, like you said. Yeah. They go from, like, little, you know, little league players to, like, I'm going to chase my dreams to go to the major leagues. Then once they get there and they sign that big contract, it's like, lay back, enjoy the money. We saw with Conor McGregor, he was scrappy, he was a fighter, he was hungry. Then he started winning, got paid. Now he can't fight.

[Casey]

I think that's just human nature, though, for some. But I think for others, it doesn't matter how much money you have. Look at Tom Brady. Had all the money in the world, but had, like, an insatiable will to win and be the greatest.

[Mike D]

That's true.

[Casey]

Michael Jordan had all the money in the world. So LeBron, much like, in the capitalist world we live in, there are some guys that get to be the CEO, and they're like, dude, I'm crushing it. I'm just gonna chill back. And there are some guys who want to be the greatest CEO in the company's history, or they want to be the CEO of Coke or Apple. So. But you're Feeling more distanced from how you like sports when you were a kid because, well, I didn't really even.

[Mike D]

Know about money when I was a kid.

[Casey]

I guess you're learning about. But that's the same way that our parents and our grandparents did.

[Mike D]

And it's also like the. It's also the headline too, right? Like when, like the masters. The. One of the biggest news stories is like, how much did everyone make? Like, because we want to know how much. There's some infatuation of how much does everyone make when a big contract is signed? We need to know how much money they're getting.

[Casey]

Yeah, that's always happened, but now there's just more places to read the headline. Because there's social media, there's the Internet. Otherwise you had to wait on SportsCenter before SportsCenter was just like, maybe the newspaper would report Dave Winfield's contract.

[Mike D]

Never saw that as a kid.

[Casey]

Yes. So I don't think you're wrong for feeling that way, but it's always been exactly that way.

[Mike D]

Dang.

[Olivia Carville]

And then your kids are gonna complain about it in 20 years. Yeah, it's just a cycle. I'm getting to that age now. I'm like, dang.

[Casey]

Kevin, hot take.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah. Mine is. I learned some of the masters. Well, one, Roy finally got over the hump. But two, we talked about a little bit on the episode earlier that cell phones need to be banned in more sporting events. And I'll take it even farther and say concerts, because there was a concert last week and I know somebody that went and they were saying all these people were doing is filming on their phones. And we're all guilty of it. I do it too. But then do you ever. Sporting event, not concert, whatever it is, ever really go back and watch those?

[Casey]

I'd like to meet you.

[Olivia Carville]

Okay.

[Casey]

I would say most people that record on their phones don't go back to watch it. They're posting it on social media. They're more recording it so they can say they were there and so they can post it on their Instagram story. Their TikTok.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Casey]

And they're probably doing it a bunch of times, only posting a few of the clips. But rarely, if ever, do people actually go back and re watch the concert on their phone. So I'm gonna say mostly it's for people's social media clout more than it is for them to go back and re watch it. Secondly, that's old. You're an old person.

[Olivia Carville]

No pictures.

[Casey]

That's okay. We're getting older.

[Olivia Carville]

But I. Yeah.

[Casey]

Also, I don't want to not have my phone in case somebody texts me.

[Mike D]

Right. Emergency.

[Casey]

Yeah, I don't mind people having cell phones. That's what we have pagers for. Pagers? Nobody has pagers. Exactly. I understand, but it doesn't bother me when someone else records a whole concert because it's not me.

[Mike D]

Right.

[Casey]

I don't care what they do with their time. You want to record the show, cool. As long as you're not in my way. Long as your phone's not in front of my face. Record the whole thing. Yeah, I don't have a problem with phones.

[Olivia Carville]

Then you think it was cool, though, the Masters and, like, you see these old pictures?

[Casey]

I hated it when I was there and there were no phones. But it is cool because no one has their phone up. But I don't think it's so. But the Masters is old. It's built in tradition. It's not like they're going, hey, we've been thinking about this, and we're going to go, no phones. They've just not allowed it. But also, they didn't allow black people or women either for a long time.

[Mike D]

And that's not good.

[Olivia Carville]

Well, yeah, I'm not comparing cell phones and segregation over here, guys.

[Casey]

I think you are. I think what you're saying is, what.

[Mike D]

Do they do with your phones?

[Casey]

You can either one, leave them at home, which is what most people do. Leave them in the car.

[Mike D]

Or.

[Casey]

Or there's a place you can put them back.

[Olivia Carville]

Do they pat you back, pat you down, or.

[Casey]

No.

[Mike D]

No.

[Casey]

But if they see one, you're automatically out. Dang.

[Mike D]

Dang. So what if, like, you're. The phone's in your pocket?

[Casey]

Like, you cannot.

[Olivia Carville]

Oh, my gosh.

[Mike D]

That's crazy.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah. You're better off just leaving it, you know?

[Casey]

And at this point, again, it's been a long time since I've been. But there were no detector. I don't know if now they have detector metal detectors, like, oh, you got a phone? I don't. I don't know that. So. But my experience has been they don't go into your pockets. You go in. But if they see one, you are out of there. And you just lost thousands of dollars.

[Mike D]

Oh, man.

[Casey]

And an experience. And you lose your pass. If you have three days, you don't go. Get to go back, you're done. So no one brings a phone. But I hear you. I mean, I think you have every right to think that.

[Olivia Carville]

And then.

[Mike D]

I'm old, but we have every right.

[Casey]

Okay, I have four.

[Mike D]

Let's go.

[Casey]

I think Barry Bonds was better at baseball than Michael Jordan was at basketball.

[Olivia Carville]

Oh.

[Casey]

And really? Yeah.

[Mike D]

Okay.

[Casey]

They wouldn't even pitch to Bonds. And I'll tell you why this comes to my mind. My brother in law, DJ coaches on the Arkansas softball team. He's assistant coach. He's a hitting coach. And they are hitting better than they've ever hit. Like the history of the program. They have one girl, she plays first base. Names Briella, she's a senior, she's batting.500. They don't even pitch to her. And she went one of the games a few games ago. She didn't have a single at bat, meaning an official at bat. Because they either walked her or hit her every time. And I remember that happened to Barry Bonds all the time. There would be the bases loaded. There would be times they would intentionally walk Barry Bonds with the bases loaded and give up a run so he wouldn't come up and hit a grand slam.

[Mike D]

But was this when he was loaded?

[Casey]

But it doesn't matter. That doesn't help you hit a ball.

[I]

That's good.

[Casey]

It helps you bounce back in recovery. But Barry Bonds would have made the hall of Fame pre steroids.

[Mike D]

Yeah, but you can't do that because the steroids just ruined all that. Like, yes, he was on track to do that.

[Casey]

No, no, no. He would have made the hall of Fame had he died right at that before he ever took a steroid. He was so good that before his steroid history started. From what we've read in court documents, Balco, all that when he was. You can just see it on baseball cards. You can see when he was playing with the Pirates, him and Bobby Bonilla, Andy Van Slyke, like all those guys, no steroids. His stats there would have put him in the hall of Fame. And steroids don't help. Hand, eye coordination. Basically what his steroids were doing. If they were. Because he was never found guilty of steroids. Like he never lost.

[Mike D]

Yeah, but he can't be in the hall of Fame because of it.

[Olivia Carville]

Right.

[Casey]

He'll eventually get in the hall of Fame.

[Mike D]

You think so?

[Casey]

Yes. And I think he was better at baseball than Michael Jordan was a basketball hot take because of the way people treated him. They would not pitch to it. They wouldn't even let him play in games, although he was in the game.

[Olivia Carville]

I'm trying to think if there's like an alternate version in basketball where you could like not have him, Michael have the ball.

[Casey]

But you put three people on him and.

[Olivia Carville]

And then leave two Guys open or they wouldn't.

[Mike D]

They can't do that.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Casey]

So Barry Bonds better at baseball than Michael Jordan was at basketball.

[Olivia Carville]

Oh, go. I see you.

[Casey]

Yeah, that's hot as f. That's so hot. That's so.

[Mike D]

I see you. I don't agree, but I see you.

[Casey]

I don't know how you wouldn't agree.

[Mike D]

I just. I mean, Michael Jordan is the goat. I've never seen basketball, but I've never seen Barry Bonds as the goat of baseball.

[Casey]

He is. He is the go to baseball. He's the greatest hitter of all time.

[Mike D]

Great bambino.

[Casey]

Okay, next up, LeBron James is the greatest basketball player ever, but he's not the most important player ever, which is Michael Jordan. But I think LeBron is the greatest basketball player ever because of everything he can do. He can score. He's not even. He has all time score scoring leader, right? Yeah, he's not even a score first guy. He's a pass first guy. So you want to play point guard, no problem. You want to play the five, no problem. He can score, he can pass, he can rebound. To have that size body do that many things, to have that much pressure on you as a high schooler, you're on the COVID of freaking Sports Illustrated as a high schooler. There's no way he could have met the expectations that were put onto him. Except he did and more. Also, Michael Jordan never won a title until Scottie Pippen came along. They sucked.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Casey]

So it wasn't that Scotty Pippen like just added.

[Olivia Carville]

But didn't he need Dwayne and Chris Bosh?

[Casey]

But he won without him too.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Casey]

Kyrie Irving, he won without him. I mean, Michael Jordan never won without his group. I'm not even taking anything away from Jordan, but LeBron also. Look at the longevity of the guy.

[Mike D]

He's still doing it.

[Casey]

He's 40. And people will be like, well, yeah, he's played so much more. Part of being a world class successful, one of the greats is how long you can actually play. Yeah.

[Mike D]

You don't think Jordan would have wanted to play him longer?

[Casey]

Yeah. You don't. There are guys that have played three or four years. Bo Jackson.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Casey]

You can't go. No, Bo Jackson's the greatest of all time. No, he got hurt. He blew out his hip, therefore he couldn't play anymore. That's a part of it. So LeBron James is the greatest player ever, but he's not the most important because it was Michael Jordan who made basketball transcendent. It was. Yeah, he's the most famous athlete of our lifetime. So greatest, but not most important. And those are two different things.

[Mike D]

Before mj, basketball was like, kind of, because the Lakers kind of brought it.

[Casey]

To until Bird and Magic. Bird and Magic were the first pop culture basketball stars. And from Bird and Magic, they elevated the game drastically. One, because they were both great, but they had a rivalry in college and then all the way through the pros because they played for the two rivals across the country in two. So, yes, that set up Jordan, but you really can't set up the greatest of all time to be the greatest of all time. He had to do it. So Jordan is the greatest of all time, as in the most important of all time, but not the best player of all time.

[Mike D]

And now his legacy will live on forever with his shoes.

[Casey]

Oh, he's made a billion dollars. Yeah. LeBron James. Greatest of all time. Jordan. Most important of all time. Hot. I would even say, like, if it comes to hip hop, and there are many arguments about who the most the greatest is and most important, but I don't think the greatest rapper is the most important rapper. I think the most important rapper is Tupac, culturally, but I don't think he's the greatest. Like, even if you compare Tupac, then again, here's just a white guy talking, right? Who is a fan of hip hop, but not a student of hip hop. I would say Biggie was a better rapper than Tupac because Biggie's style was so different. His cadence was so different. Where Tupac's wasn't as much. But Tupac culturally changed hip hop way more.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, still.

[Casey]

Okay, I got two more.

[Mike D]

Come on.

[Casey]

The transfer portal has made college football way more fun to watch, but way less meaningful to root for. And here's what I'll say. It's made football more fun to watch because we now watch now. We're talking about players leaving now. And it sucks that it's one year. And I'm not saying that the transfer. Transfer portal as is is awesome because it sucks balls. It sucks balls that players can leave after one year. But what makes it fun is we're now talking about college football, like, or college basketball, like off season, like the draft, like NFL during. When it's not happening. We're still talking about it. It's made us care way more for longer. Even though it's annoying in principle. If they change the portal that you can only transfer once, and these contracts were two years in il it, you would go, oh, yeah, this is awesome. The portal. You only get to do it once, but we'd still care all the time. Because you'd wonder if your guy leaving, who are you getting?

[Olivia Carville]

And if you had one year left, you're like, he's got one more year with basketball.

[Casey]

Yeah. So I think the portal makes football more entertaining for longer, but it makes it way less meaningful at times to root for because you don't have a relationship with the players anymore. And I think both can be true.

[Olivia Carville]

And that's kind of where basketball has been for the last 15 years or so now.

[Mike D]

Right.

[Olivia Carville]

So you think football is kind of getting there in the sense of like growing up watching basketball. Like you watch these guys stay for two, three years and then you watch them groom into the NBA and you like them. But nowadays with football and basketball it's like, well, I like so and so, but then he's going to go over here and I don't like that team. So I don't like him anymore. And that's what's annoying.

[Casey]

Basketball's having a really hard time with that for two reasons. One, because the player can go one and done. We don't have a relationship with them. If they come for one year, that's a big part of it. And two, they're bouncing all over the place. So you never have a relationship. But most guys that are going to go to the draft anyway are going to be freshmen and some sophomore. But we do. If they're on our team for more than a year, we're like, that's our guy.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Casey]

And that doesn't happen as much. So it does. But football, the transferring sucks. But football, at least you have to play for three or you at least have to exist for three years because you can red shirt then play two.

[Olivia Carville]

True.

[Casey]

In football I feel like the portal is a bit different. Most of the guys portal. Most of the guys portaling in football that's not a quarterback. Are players who aren't getting playing time and kind of suck. I feel like basketball is way more of a shopping themselves. If they're good, they're just shopping themselves straight up. That's not happening. It's happening. It's. But not happening as much in football. There's too many positions. Yeah, basketball, it's harder. You got a nine man rotation in football you have 22 starters and then a full 15 that are playing a bunch of minutes every game. So yeah, yeah. A bit different for. But the same for basketball.

[Mike D]

Do you think for coaches in basketball. Do you think it's more of a nightmare portal?

[Casey]

Absolutely. It's a nightmare Than it is. Yes, because there's no regulation. I think it could be a lot better if they had a one transfer rule. You're talking about if NBA coaches. Well, it's Euroleague. It's what they do in Europe. They get to go every year, new contract somewhere else.

[Olivia Carville]

Oh, really?

[Casey]

Yeah. All these teams, they've known that it's always been that way. It's a nightmare for coaches, but it's why these coaches are leaving. It's why Saban is like, I'm out. Virginia coach out. We could do six of these. Yes, it's a nightmare. But I don't think at first it was a nightmare. It was like, oh, this is really great. But it's gotten so out of control that it's terrible. But it will get great again once they have some regulation. Because I do think kids should be able to transfer. But once.

[Mike D]

Once, yeah, one time. That one and done is just got to be hard for basketball coaches because you can't build the team. Like basketball is such a team sport where like you want to get that communication with your five guys, but one year you have it, the next year it's start all over.

[Casey]

The difference though, I'd meet you there is that if you've got a one and done. They are so freaking elite at their position, they're. They're at playing basketball that they're going to come in and be worth it. I mean, you saw Calipari. There are certain coaches, Duke did it for a long time where they're like, we're going in on one and dones because they're so good. We're going to go with talent first, chemistry second because they're so good. Kyrie, Tatum, all these guys, one and done. So you want those guys regardless, regardless of chemistry. You want those guys and then you.

[Olivia Carville]

Hope you have like those three or four stars that have been there for a couple years to kind of hold the chemistry together.

[Casey]

33 year old bricklayer, you know, been around for a bit and then finally this is just more of a general one. If you're flexing how busy you always are all the time, you're either bad at time management or you're just lying.

[Mike D]

Or I'll meet you there or you have kids.

[Casey]

Because you can have different though than busy.

[Mike D]

Well, no, that's my, that's my response all the time.

[Casey]

Yeah, but that's understandable. You're just not going like, I'm so busy. I'm so busy. Yeah, like busy's almost a brag nowadays. I almost never talk about how busy you are ever, ever.

[Mike D]

And you're probably the most busiest person I know.

[Casey]

It's like, I got stuff to do, I'm gonna get it done, but you're never gonna hear me be like, yeah, you guys have no idea what it's like to be busy.

[Mike D]

So if someone asks you like, hey, let's have a late lunch at 2:00, knowing you're gonna have a podcast at 2:00, do you just tell them, like, nah, I can't do it, man. Maybe next week. Or do you be like, can't do it, too busy. I got a podcast.

[Casey]

I would never say too busy. I would say specifically what it is at 2pm I'm not able to do so because on this day I have this. That's it. There's no overarching busy, man.

[Mike D]

I like saying busy.

[Olivia Carville]

Just let them like, think, what is he doing?

[Casey]

Yeah, people that always say, I'm just so busy. Like, busy, busy, busy. Again, they're either bad at time management or they're really not that busy and they're just trying to flex on it.

[Olivia Carville]

I feel like a lot of that too is also like filler, where they're just like. It's almost like, hey, how you doing? Pretty good. Are you, you know, where you're like, oh, just busy.

[Casey]

Are you, though different busy. Yeah, I don't think I ever meet that answer. Was busy. Like, how's it going?

[Mike D]

Busy, busy. Well, sometimes I do like, I'll talk to other dads or whatever and be like, how's everything going, man? Busy, man. Busy. And. But I was getting with a. Hey, would you want to not be busy?

[Casey]

Could be worse. Could not be worse. Yeah, I feel like that's a different busy flex. That's a different. I don't even feel like that's a flex. I feel like it's a filler. Yeah, yeah, that's a good one. I made like, those are my sports ones. I have other ones, though.

[Mike D]

Keep going, man.

[Casey]

Well, some of our music related.

[Mike D]

Okay.

[Casey]

Like, a lot of artists, especially I see on TikTok, they're not passionate about country music. They're just passionate about becoming influencers. And they've just countries the way they can get in the quickest or they.

[Olivia Carville]

Feel that hot take.

[Casey]

Hey, hot take that one. Dang. The easy one. And there's a few versions of this. But people are like, yeah, I'm just being honest. It's just one. Something people say before. They're just gonna be rude.

[Mike D]

Right?

[Casey]

Like, I'm just gonna Be on. And two, it's not even honesty. Or when people go, they tell it like it is. What's happening is they're just actually saying something you like. It's not that they're telling it like it is. Like, I like that guy. Tell it like it is. No, no, no. That person's just saying what you like. They're not telling it like it is. Because if they said something like it is that you hated, you wouldn't be like, that person. Tells it like it is. No, you want to do that.

[Mike D]

What about. No offense, that.

[Casey]

Yeah, that's gonna be a. That's gonna be a mean one.

[Olivia Carville]

I mean this in the nicest way.

[Mike D]

Oh, shut up. No, you don't. But you're about to make me mad.

[Casey]

Most people who say they hate country music never have actually spent any time listening to it. They've only heard, like, the surface level, worst version of it or the corniest. Because at times when people will generalize country music, it'll be the corny version of it.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Casey]

It'll be the cartoon character of it.

[Mike D]

I usually send them a little Chris Stapleton if they say that. Like, listen to this.

[Casey]

Oh, there's a ton. Country music. You know, I think Americana's country music, I think that is.

[Olivia Carville]

And so that was me until about 10 years ago.

[Casey]

Yeah. Yes.

[Olivia Carville]

Country music. I didn't listen to any country because.

[Casey]

You probably only knew the cartoon version of how bad the cartoon version is.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Casey]

But in reality, like, there's a lot of really great singer songwriters. Oh, yeah, that's not over. Highly overproduced and whatever. Yeah. I had one other note that wasn't a hot take, but I can give you this. Have you guys seen the trend on TikTok where they play Tears in heaven over. Mike, let me come to you. You may have seen this, though, over people that if they die, they died a long time ago. But what they look like now, it's bizarre. It's so bizarre. Wait, say it again so you'll hear the guitar. Part two, tears in Heaven, which is Eric Clapton. I don't know if you know the song, but it goes, would you know my name if I saw you in heaven? So the whole song that he wrote about his kid dying because this kid fell out of a window on a high rise. The glass. The guy that was cleaning story. The guy that was cleaning the glass. Glass left it unlocked. Kid goes and pushes on, it falls out and dies.

[Olivia Carville]

Oh, my goodness.

[Casey]

Eric Clapton writes tears in heaven. Would it be the same if I saw you in Heaven, Right. And so they play that and then they show people what they'd look like today had they not died a long time ago.

[Mike D]

That's so sad.

[Casey]

It's so weird. The first one that popped up was Natalie Holloway is like an adult, like a 38 year old adult. And it's like Natalie Holloway and she's like almost 40, waving at the camera.

[Mike D]

How does she die in the.

[Casey]

On the island. Jordan Vander Sloot. Jorn Vander Sloot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I don't know if they ever found her body. Did they?

[Olivia Carville]

I don't think so.

[Mike D]

Oh, I don't like that.

[Casey]

They had. They had Kaylee Anthony, Casey Anthony's kid, but she's like 17 or whatever and she's like, hi. Would it be the same?

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, I don't like that.

[Mike D]

Who started that?

[Casey]

They have. I saw the Ultimate Warrior, the wrestler, because he died.

[Mike D]

How did he die?

[Casey]

I don't know.

[Mike D]

Google that.

[Casey]

But it's him now as an older man. But it's just dead people. But them where they. What they look like today. Using AI and Tears in Heaven.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, I saw one with Kurt Cobain.

[Casey]

Was wild and he's like an old man. Yeah, it's bizarre, right? I watched him though. I'll be honest with you. I did watch a couple of them all the way through and I was like, this is crazy. This is crazy. And then I was just like, why am I watching this? That technology is crazy because some of them are just pictures. Just like them moving around and like doing things and reacting to things.

[Olivia Carville]

You're like, whoa, that's weird.

[Casey]

Like, Kurt Cobain looks like a dad. Heart attack.

[Mike D]

Heart attack. Yeah, that's.

[Casey]

A lot of those wrestlers die of heart attack because. Not him specifically. Not sure, but a lot of them shoot, take drugs, like steroids.

[Mike D]

I don't know. Like, if you Would you want to see one of those videos of like your mom, like somebody that has died?

[Casey]

Okay, so that's a. A literal question. Like my mom.

[Mike D]

A real question.

[Casey]

I probably can make one.

[Mike D]

But would you want to see that? And how would that make you feel?

[Casey]

Like, how would that make you feel? I don't know that I care either way. It would have made me feel weird. I don't know if it made me feel weird. I. I guess I'd need to do it. I could probably plug it in and do one. I wouldn't put it on tick tock, but I could take a picture of my mom and go, she was born on this. This picture was this year. What Would she look like now? I mean, I'll do it right now.

[Olivia Carville]

Oh, no, no.

[Mike D]

Do that on your own time.

[Casey]

I'll do it right now.

[Mike D]

No, man, I don't really want to be.

[Olivia Carville]

I don' Eddie, why do you have to ask that question?

[Mike D]

Well, because I started thinking, like, what I. You know, if I lost a family member, you know, like, I recently lost my dad, but that's not one count. But, like, if I lost, yeah, he'd.

[Casey]

Be, like, a month older, six months older.

[Mike D]

But if I lost a child, like, you know, 15 years ago, like, I don't know if I'd want to see that.

[Casey]

The hot take. Eddie, I'm going to do my mom.

[Mike D]

Oh, Bones. I don't know, man.

[Casey]

You gave me the idea, bro. So have you done your animal? Made him look like a human. Hilarious. Yeah. Caitlin doing with Stanley, and he's like this fat, balding guy who's sitting on the floor.

[Mike D]

Does he look like Stanley at all? From the office?

[Casey]

Yeah, no, he looks. No, no, he looks like he's a white dude.

[Mike D]

Oh, they take that.

[Casey]

Yeah, some of those come out an unexpected race. Okay.

[Mike D]

Yeah, that's funny. Mike.

[Casey]

I'm gonna do my mom.

[Mike D]

What do you do? You ask Chat. GPT.

[Casey]

This is my mom. Let's see, what year was she born? If I was born in 80, and she was exactly 16 years, so I'd be 65. Okay, 64. She was born in 1964. Which that would have made her. If I'm. She'd be 61 now. Dang.

[Mike D]

That's crazy.

[Casey]

Can you make this image into what she'd look like now? All right.

[Mike D]

It'S gonna be over here, man. Well, it's doing my thing.

[Casey]

It's getting started. Do you see my Instagram story of me trying to build the image for whistles?

[Olivia Carville]

That was funny. That was funny.

[Casey]

I couldn't quite get it right. Because ChatGPT is not always right about everything.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Casey]

And when I do something on it, I always have to go and just make. Double check most of it. But, yeah, it kind of got there, then it went off. I like Stephen Colbert. And then the golf club is a magic wand.

[Olivia Carville]

The glasses, the hair.

[Casey]

It's creating the image right now, as you can see. So this was a picture of my mom right there, and then that's what you gave it. I said, here's a picture. She was born in 1964. She'd be 61 today. Can you make this image?

[Mike D]

And how old was she when she passed 47. Okay.

[Casey]

Can you make this Image into what she looked like now. All right, it's in the middle of it.

[Mike D]

Oh, wow. It's almost done.

[Casey]

Yeah. It's not always exactly.

[Mike D]

No.

[Casey]

But let's, let's. I mean, creating image still, I think.

[Mike D]

Yeah, we'll just do it a lot quicker, huh?

[Casey]

It does take a minute for them, for the images.

[Mike D]

But I do like how it makes it look like it's a Polaroid where you have to wait and shake it a little bit.

[Casey]

That's funny.

[Mike D]

Blow on it. Because it starts like, you know, a grayscale and then slowly becomes a picture.

[Casey]

This is kind of weird. It's kind of. I mean, is it done? It's 80% done. I guess I'll let it finish up. Like, how do I feel about this? It's kind of weird. It's also like, oh, man, that'd be nice if she's still alive. But it's also like, oh, that's cool. So that would be what AI says she would look like. Oh, wow.

[Olivia Carville]

Dang. That's a clear picture.

[Mike D]

It really is. Do you. Do you think she would look like that?

[Casey]

I think that's a loaded question because she was really bad with drugs and alcohol when she died. So if you were to not have the drugs and alcohol. Yes, but she was having some real problems and I think that ages you. And it was aging her. Like that stuff's no like meth stuff. Met bad news. But that's what. That's. That's weird. I mean, that's the picture. Yeah.

[Mike D]

I don't like that trend, man.

[Casey]

I don't hate it. I'm telling you right now, it actually brings, I would say, good ish memories. Yeah.

[Mike D]

Okay. Now I do like the ones where, you know, they show like a old World War II officer or whatever with his girl and it turns that picture into life. You seen that? Yeah.

[Casey]

That's cool.

[Mike D]

That's cool. And then they start kissing and hey, you know, they smile at the camera. Like, that's pretty cool.

[Casey]

Hey, thanks for that, Eddie. Thanks for making me do that.

[Mike D]

Yeah, no, no, I did not make you do that. Don't put that on me.

[Casey]

[Margie Murphy]

Code [e-mail] In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare.

[Olivia Carville]

Someone was posting photos.

[Eddie]

It was just me. Naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own.

[Kevin]

I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream.

[Margie Murphy]

It happened in Levittown, New York.

[Kevin]

But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography.

[Bobby Bones]

This should be illegal, but what is this?

[Kevin]

This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy.

[Margie Murphy]

And I'm Olivia Carville.

[Kevin]

This is Levittown, a new podcast from iHeart podcasts Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope.

[Margie Murphy]

Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Casey]

Okay, here's the game and Eddie Reed, kick off. Kevin and Casey, you're all playing. If. No, you can all play. Just write your answer down. Shoot. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to give you a school. You tell me the town or city that it's in.

[Olivia Carville]

Oh, okay.

[Casey]

I'm gonna give you 10 of them.

[Olivia Carville]

This is terrible.

[Casey]

I'm gonna give you some easy ones to start.

[Mike D]

Thank you.

[Olivia Carville]

Okay.

[Casey]

Okay. Warm up. Yeah. Would you rather have the town it's in? You tell me the school. Cool. That might be. Yeah.

[Mike D]

Yeah, I like that better.

[Casey]

That might be easier. I like it the other way. That's harder.

[Mike D]

Why?

[Casey]

Because then I got more of a chance. You don't. I don't think you do. Okay. Okay. University of Alabama. What town's it in?

[Mike D]

I'm in. Me, too.

[Casey]

Go ahead, mister. I have a chance. Me. Yeah. You know, it is a Tuscaloosa. It is. Good job.

[Olivia Carville]

Good job reading.

[Casey]

Good job, Kevin.

Yeah. Tuscaloosa.

Yeah, I know. All these.

[Olivia Carville]
