Transcript
00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - All right, everybody, welcome to the Rundown.
00:05 It is Wednesday, May 22nd.
00:08 Today's Rundown is brought to you by NASCAR.
00:10 The entire racing community rallies around this event
00:12 to show respect and gratitude to the brave men and women
00:15 who fight to protect our country.
00:17 Tune in on May 26th at 6 p.m. Eastern on Fox,
00:21 the historic 65th running of the Coca-Cola 600.
00:25 Watch NASCAR honor those who have fought
00:27 and continue to fight for our freedoms
00:29 by tuning in to the Coca-Cola 600 on May 26th,
00:33 this Sunday at 6 p.m. Eastern on Fox, boys.
00:37 Go watch it.
00:38 - Go watch it.
00:39 - Go watch it.
00:39 - Memorial day tradition, right, Ed?
00:40 - Exactly, it's a great thing.
00:41 Gonna be a great race.
00:42 Race season's been off to a hot start, so.
00:45 I mean, that's midway through, I shouldn't say start,
00:48 but yeah, a lot of good racing coming on.
00:50 The Chicago one's coming up.
00:51 We're going to the Nashville one, too,
00:52 so I'm excited for this one.
00:55 Rundown started off with the game last night,
00:57 game one, Boston Celtics versus the Pacers.
01:01 Overtime win, Donnie, you're the Boston guy,
01:03 so you can lead us off.
01:04 - Yeah, I mean, that game was just a constant heart attack.
01:07 I mean, it started off, I was like,
01:09 all right, this is gonna be a cakewalk,
01:12 but the Pacers can shoot.
01:14 I'll give them that much.
01:16 You give them open shots,
01:17 we weren't playing great defense the whole game,
01:19 and they got back into it, and all of a sudden,
01:21 it's like, holy shit, we're down by five
01:23 late in the fourth quarter.
01:25 But Tatum, I think, got that turnover
01:30 when Pacers were inbounding the ball,
01:34 which set up Jaylen Brown for the three.
01:37 Now, I don't know why the Pacers
01:38 didn't just foul Jaylen Brown before he shot the three.
01:42 He's not our best foul shooter,
01:45 so they fucked up there, but I'm glad they did.
01:49 Like, that was an electric game.
01:51 Both Tatum and Jaylen came up big when we needed them to.
01:54 We needed them to make those clutch shots, and they did.
01:58 But it should not have been that close at all,
02:02 and we suck at game twos, so who knows?
02:05 Hopefully we can break the streak on Thursday.
02:09 We will see.
02:10 - White Sox, Dave, I know you were watching intently.
02:12 - Yeah, I was zeroed in on that game
02:15 like every last second of it.
02:17 I mean, they had, what did ESPN say,
02:19 a 97% chance of winning?
02:21 - Of winning at the end.
02:22 - When they were up three.
02:24 - That's a dagger.
02:25 I wish I were in a position to care about a team that much,
02:31 to be gutted like that.
02:33 It would feel good, I feel like.
02:34 - Yeah, probably.
02:35 - Or on your side, it'd feel awesome.
02:38 - But that's how you used to feel
02:40 about the White Sox, right?
02:41 - About a lot of things.
02:42 - And now you're just--
02:43 - Apathetic.
02:44 - Completely apathetic.
02:45 I remember when I first met you,
02:47 you're like, when the White Sox suck,
02:49 it ruins my entire summer.
02:52 - Yeah, that used to be not just the White Sox,
02:55 it was many teams.
02:56 Like Mark Trestman stole that ability
02:59 for the Bears for me,
03:00 and then Derek Rose's knee exploding 10 times,
03:03 it did that for the,
03:04 I used to not miss a single Bulls game.
03:07 Obviously, Bears games are different,
03:09 but yeah, I wish I could feel that.
03:10 - It's a broken man, man.
03:11 - It's gotta be an awesome feeling for you.
03:14 - It was an awesome feeling.
03:15 I also try not to get too low when my teams lose.
03:18 I'll be really sad for a day,
03:21 and then I can move on with my life.
03:23 Maybe that makes me a bad sports fan.
03:26 Like--
03:27 - It lingers for me.
03:28 - When the Bears suck,
03:29 you're just kind of depressed in general.
03:31 - Yeah.
03:32 - I can't consume any ESPNs, Sports Center, nothing.
03:35 - Yeah, it depends on the expectations.
03:37 It depends on how everything happened.
03:40 But yeah, there's definitely varying levels
03:42 of disappointment.
03:43 This game, as far as it goes,
03:44 I'm happy to see a good start to a series.
03:48 You've had good series so far in this playoff,
03:50 but the games in between those series are not good.
03:53 It's been a weird playoffs.
03:54 Like we had two game sevens on Sunday.
03:56 Obviously the Minnesota one was really good,
03:59 but all the games in between,
04:01 like they were all blow-offs.
04:03 - Yeah.
04:03 - And so it's a weird playoffs
04:06 where it's exciting, but it's not.
04:09 So this was a genuinely exciting game one.
04:12 Hopefully, as obviously no dog in the fight,
04:14 I'm sure you would love a sweet.
04:16 I'm just hoping that this is the kind of shit
04:18 that keeps picking up and keeps the pace.
04:20 So good start.
04:21 And then obviously--
04:22 - And shout out Drew Hall.
04:24 He's been huge for us as the man,
04:26 especially with Porzingis out.
04:27 - So that's honestly just my hope
04:30 that we have some good series.
04:31 And I think Dallas and Minnesota will be good too.
04:34 So that's just my prayer.
04:36 Second story, the NFL are talking about implementing
04:39 electronically measured first downs.
04:41 They're gonna do a trial period here.
04:44 It sounds like for the preseason.
04:46 And then if it goes well,
04:48 they're gonna look to fully implement it
04:50 for the 2024 regular season.
04:53 Thoughts, Dave, on getting rid of the chain gang?
04:57 - See, it's a little different for me.
05:01 Like I used to be one of those people
05:03 who just detest change in sports.
05:05 And obviously as a baseball guy,
05:07 we hear a lot about it with the robot umpires,
05:11 robot strike zones, automated strike zones, all that.
05:14 But chain gangs, and I love like the Lou Piniella
05:17 getting into umpire's face part of the game,
05:20 that that's part of baseball,
05:22 just like a chain gang's part of football.
05:24 But in the end you want the correct call.
05:26 So like have the chain gang out there,
05:29 but have the technology available.
05:31 So like if they need it, then you can, you know,
05:36 like measure it to that nearest 10th of an inch
05:38 or whatever they're gonna be doing.
05:39 But a chain gang, like,
05:41 that's getting rid of like a part of the heart of football.
05:44 - Think about all the people that won't have jobs.
05:47 - They'll have chain gangers just out on the street.
05:52 They'd be working the prison chain gang.
05:56 - Yeah, and it's probably not just an easy transition.
06:01 These guys are used to just manually eyeballing it.
06:04 They're not used to reading the technology
06:08 that's gonna be implemented.
06:09 - Yeah, but I am a big proponent of this,
06:12 takes out all human error.
06:13 In Uganda, I had to play with a chain gang
06:16 that did not know how to work the lines.
06:19 They would just move it every time.
06:21 So you had to get 10 yards every play
06:24 in order to get a first down.
06:25 'Cause they would just keep, they just thought,
06:28 being chain gang means just move it with the ball.
06:30 So I'm still traumatized by that.
06:33 Bring in robotic chain gangs.
06:36 - I got three takeaways, I guess.
06:37 One, obviously I agree the chain gang is just a classic crew.
06:41 I don't, obviously they're never gonna probably implement
06:44 this at the high school level or the grammar school level
06:46 because that's where it's really just a couple dads
06:49 who, that's their time away from the concession stand
06:52 and their time to watch the game.
06:53 So I love a good chain gang,
06:55 especially when it's people's fathers just getting,
06:58 Bill, why wouldn't I be the chain gang?
06:59 I had the best seat in the house.
07:01 - I have an idea, if we get a robotic first downs,
07:05 we could still have a chain gang,
07:06 but it's more like a make a wish thing
07:08 where they hand it out to certain fans
07:10 and you can just pretend to be the chain gang for a game.
07:14 - Yes, two, it's still, like you said, Dave,
07:17 you just want them to get it right.
07:19 It's absolutely absurd at some of these goal line stands,
07:22 some of these fourth and inches,
07:23 that we are acting like these referees
07:26 can see what the fuck is going on.
07:27 - They can't, with how fast that game moves
07:29 and all the moving parts on the field.
07:32 - Yes, they can't.
07:33 - Just get the call right in the end.
07:34 - You can't correctly, especially now
07:35 the tush push is becoming something like,
07:37 there's just no way you can figure all that out.
07:40 - If the technology is available for you
07:42 to make the correct call,
07:44 you don't want a game ending on human error,
07:47 referee error, especially a big game.
07:50 So if the technology's available where you can eliminate
07:54 or curb that as much as possible,
07:57 then you have to lose it.
07:59 - But the third thing, I think we're going to miss
08:01 how electric it is when there's a big measurement
08:04 and the boys are walking out and the crowd goes wild
08:08 'cause they're short by a couple inches.
08:10 That's a big part of football, man.
08:12 - Yeah.
08:13 - It's huge.
08:14 - It's a big part of football.
08:14 - They should honestly do that anyways
08:16 and just have a little earpiece being like,
08:18 it's actually a first.
08:19 - Yeah, yeah, whatever.
08:21 But the chain don't lie.
08:22 People will still not believe it.
08:24 You think that there's going to be a lot of people
08:27 saying shit's rigged, that there are going to be a lot of--
08:29 - There will be growing pains with this
08:31 if they do implement it in the regular season for sure.
08:33 That technology will screw up in some way, some form
08:37 and people are going to be pissed.
08:39 - I mean, do you think baseball should get rid
08:41 of the ump behind home plate?
08:43 - It's funny because I saw a tweet,
08:45 this is like a week ago maybe,
08:46 that had the correct calls per year since like 1980
08:51 that umpire makes behind home plate.
08:53 It was like in 1980, it was like 82% of calls
08:57 were made correct and it's gotten,
08:59 it's at the point where it's like 94%.
09:00 So umpires are getting better, but by the fan's eye,
09:05 it seems like they're getting worse year over year.
09:08 For especially the last few years,
09:10 it seems like umpiring has gotten very, very bad
09:13 and very lazy.
09:14 So I'm at the point where it should get rid of every umpire.
09:16 Like get rid of--
09:17 - Yeah, if they're 94%, but a computer can be 100%, right?
09:21 - Right, I mean, I think it's the Atlantic League,
09:23 which is, it's obviously not major,
09:26 they've worked in automated strike zone.
09:30 So if a hitter wants to challenge,
09:31 he just turns around and says challenge.
09:33 The umpire has an earpiece like in the NFL
09:35 and they call it to the box, it's like so bang, bang.
09:38 It's like, it's instantaneous review.
09:40 - That's nice.
09:41 - Yeah.
09:42 - Do you have pink eye?
09:43 - I don't, I got scratched in the eye last week.
09:45 It's been here for a while.
09:46 - Oh damn.
09:47 - Yeah.
09:48 - It's hard to look at you.
09:49 - By a girl or a dog?
09:51 - A dog.
09:52 - Okay.
09:53 - All right.
09:54 I actually got scratched in the eye by a dog yesterday.
09:55 - Damn.
09:56 - So I might have a scratched eye with you.
09:57 - Yeah.
09:58 - Who's dog are you, Ruffhausen?
10:00 - Yeah, I thought you hate dogs.
10:01 - I'm friends, no, I like dogs.
10:03 - Oh, he doesn't.
10:04 - That's just a, that's a--
10:05 - Fake news?
10:06 - Fake, fake, fake, fake.

11:18 Next topic here, legendary eater Kobayashi is retiring.
11:23 - Yes. - Retiring.
11:24 - And the veneer.
11:25 - He's apparently no longer hungry.
11:27 - He's no longer hungry.
11:29 - He scientifically can't get hungry, apparently.
11:32 - That's what he's saying, yeah.
11:33 - Yeah, like every time he eats processed foods
11:35 like hot dogs, hot dog buns,
11:37 his brain triggers the nausea response.
11:41 And that makes perfect sense to me.
11:43 Like I know spring break one time, I went to Puerto Rico.
11:46 We drank rum the entire time.
11:49 And like-- - Mama, mama.
11:50 - After that week, your brain just trains itself
11:54 to be like, okay, no more rum.
11:56 And then like now, like every time I take a sip,
11:58 it just triggers like nausea.
12:00 Like if I took a rum shot here right now,
12:03 I'd really be toast.
12:04 - The very first time I drank alcohol ever,
12:08 I got so sick off of, I don't wanna say the brand,
12:11 I don't know if they work with us,
12:12 but it was like apple cinnamon flavored alcohol,
12:17 sour apple something.
12:19 So I can't even, like those caramel apple pops,
12:23 can't eat 'em.
12:24 Like anything that bright green apple flavored,
12:27 it triggers that for me because I puked my brains out,
12:30 didn't know my limit.
12:31 - That's kind of interesting.
12:32 I guess it's all part of a new Netflix show
12:34 or a Netflix documentary.
12:36 It's called "Hack Your Health, The Secrets of Your Gut."
12:38 So yeah, they scanned his brain
12:40 and he's repelled by highly processed food.
12:42 - Yeah, it's like actually a scientific thing.
12:44 - Competitive eating is just, it seems like a rough sport.
12:49 - It's gotta be like horrific for you in every which way.
12:53 - To be fair though, no disrespect to Kobayashi,
12:55 he had his day and he was the fucking man,
12:57 but he's been cooked for--
12:58 - I said end of an era.
13:00 - The era's been gone for a long time.
13:02 - 15 years or so.
13:03 - Joey Chester's been at the top for over a decade.
13:06 The era's been long gone, but at the time--
13:12 - Pulling out all the excuses for his downfall.
13:14 - Yeah, but he turned into a verb,
13:16 like he was, you know,
13:17 "I'm gonna Kobayashi you, this motherfucker."
13:19 - He's the one who showed that you can make a career
13:21 out of competitive eating.
13:22 - Exactly, and his low key,
13:24 I don't know if you guys remember this,
13:25 his "True Life" episode, "I'm a Competitive Eater,"
13:28 was like maybe my favorite thing I've ever seen.
13:30 - It was cool, do you remember his training?
13:32 Like the night or two nights before,
13:34 he'd go to just a Chinese restaurant
13:36 and all he would get is white rice,
13:37 and I'm not kidding you,
13:38 they brought, he asked for this amount.
13:40 It was a bowl of rice,
13:42 like say the bowl's on the ground, this high up.
13:44 - There was a lot of noodles and shit too.
13:46 - It was like, because it expands in your stomach,
13:48 it stretches out, so a couple days later
13:50 you can eat all the hot dogs on it.
13:52 - And he said like it was a challenge from the chef,
13:53 and the chef kept bringing like a mango hot,
13:56 like shaved ice out for him and shit.
13:58 It was really good, that Kobayashi one,
14:01 so I'd recommend that if anyone's unfamiliar.
14:04 - I know the dude, "Man vs. Food," the host of that,
14:08 he had to eventually retire from that show
14:10 'cause he would just do all these
14:11 eating challenges at restaurants,
14:13 and he was like, "I can't do this anymore.
14:15 "If I keep on doing this, I'm gonna like,
14:17 "I only have five years left."
14:19 - Not, food challenge or not for the week, that's for sure.
14:22 Next topic here, an influencer went to war
14:25 with a restaurant who didn't want her promotion.
14:28 Apparently, she was an aspiring influencer, we'll say.
14:31 She had 17,000 followers, and an Australian restaurant
14:36 responded to her and said,
14:38 "You don't seem to have any followers.
14:40 "Maybe you should approach us when we have over 100K."
14:43 She said it was super rude, she was upset about it,
14:46 and a lot of hoopla has been happening since then.
14:50 Donny, what do you got on this?
14:52 - Yeah, I think it's kind of weird,
14:53 'cause she just like reached out to the restaurant
14:55 being like, "Can I review your food?"
14:58 I think hoping that the restaurant would be like,
14:59 "Yeah, come, we'll give you all the food for free.
15:02 "You can do a little bid on it."
15:04 It's like, if you wanna review this place's food,
15:06 just go and order the food and do a review.
15:08 - Review it, yeah.
15:09 - I mean, she's just trying to get
15:10 some free food out of it.
15:12 I feel like Mincy pulls that move a lot.
15:14 He hits up spots, and he was like,
15:15 "Oh, I see you're a really good barbecue place down South.
15:19 "I'm like a big deal at Barstool Sports.
15:20 "I'm gonna come through."
15:21 And then kind of like, it's implied like,
15:24 "They better be giving me free food."
15:25 And you know what?
15:26 Mincy usually gets it.
15:27 He deserves all the free food he wants.
15:29 But yeah, I think it's a little weird just like,
15:34 yeah, 17K, just go and do a food review.
15:38 - What's wrong with that?
15:40 - Yeah.
15:40 - What's wrong with that?
15:41 - Yeah, you don't need to be hitting them up
15:43 and like making sure you get free food.
15:46 - I thought Jerry's blog on it,
15:48 'cause it was Jerry who brought this story to life
15:53 on barstoolsports.com, but I thought he nailed it.
15:55 He's like, "I don't wanna come off as the old man
15:57 "yelling at clouds, like that hates everybody
15:59 "in the younger generation."
16:00 'Cause I know, but he's like,
16:01 "Aside from the Nazis in the 1940s,
16:05 "a lot of millennials are the worst people on Earth
16:07 "because of the entitlement they have."
16:09 - We're millennials.
16:11 - Or Gen Z, he said.
16:12 - Gen Z, yeah. - Gen Z, Gen Z.
16:14 And but like, so I follow a ton
16:17 of these exact type of accounts.
16:18 Some of them small like this.
16:20 Other ones that have hundreds of thousands.
16:21 This kinda happened in Chicago a few weeks back
16:24 and Kate brought it to light for us.
16:25 I don't know if you were here for this,
16:26 but there's this restaurant called Flower Power
16:29 on Chicago Ave, it's a newer place I think.
16:32 Makes their pasta fresh in the morning,
16:34 as soon as they're sold out for the day,
16:35 they close shop and it's supposed to be insanely good,
16:38 blah, blah, blah.
16:39 Apparently in Chicago, there was a group chat
16:43 of about 90 influencers in the Chicago food scene.
16:48 Obviously Chicago's a big foodie city
16:50 and if you follow these guys,
16:51 all of a sudden you would notice
16:52 that they would all be reviewing the same restaurants
16:55 in the same few days span.
16:56 Which I'm like, you don't think too much about it,
16:59 but apparently they all approach these restaurants.
17:02 They say, "Hey, we're coming in, we want the food free
17:04 "and we want you to pay us anywhere from $850 to $1,200
17:08 "on top of the review."
17:11 And they were apparently ganging up on this restaurant
17:14 'cause he's like, "No, piss off.
17:15 "I'll do it organically, everybody loves my spot.
17:18 "I'm not paying for that."
17:19 Like that's outrageous.
17:20 - Yeah.
17:21 - You know?
17:22 - Then they're like,
17:23 "Well, we'll come in and give you a bad review."
17:24 - That's exactly what they said.
17:25 So they ganged up on this guy.
17:26 - Really?
17:27 - Then he started leaking all the exchanges saying like,
17:30 "Yeah, these guys are just trying to hustle all of us.
17:32 "Like this is what they're really doing."
17:35 - Yeah.
17:35 - Like get real jobs, you fucking losers, you know?
17:37 - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:38 - So yeah, this girl, absolutely like,
17:43 we don't have real jobs.
17:47 We're not sitting on a cube nine to five.
17:49 Like I can't say get a job
17:50 because we live fucking fantasy lives.
17:53 But like, so I can see why she would want to be a few
17:56 reviewer on Instagram or TikTok or whatever for money.
17:59 However, don't be an asshole.
18:01 - Yeah.
18:02 - Don't be an asshole.
18:03 - Here's the thing, here's the thing.
18:04 An influencer can do a lot of good things for local business.
18:06 - Oh yeah, absolutely.
18:07 - Yeah, absolutely.
18:08 - A lot of good things.
18:08 - Yes.
18:09 - The point is, until you get to a certain spot,
18:12 pay for your shit, gain a following,
18:14 and then like let all the rest of it happen.
18:17 Like just pay for your shit.
18:18 - Yep.
18:19 - Pay for your shit.
18:20 - Keep getting followers, keep letting people know.
18:20 - That's how it is.
18:21 - When I find a place in Chicago I love,
18:23 like I'll just, I'll give them some promotion
18:27 just because I'm like more people should try this place.
18:29 - Yeah.
18:30 - If that place happens to reach out and be like,
18:31 hey, come back in, we'd love to treat you to something,
18:34 that's sweet.
18:35 If they don't, it's not a problem.
18:37 - Exactly.
18:38 - I'll promote what I like.
18:39 - Exactly, that's all there is to it.
18:41 Like work your way up and then like it's gonna happen.
18:44 You know, that's just how it works.
18:46 And my second thing is, you know how,
18:49 like some of these places that are so fucking popular,
18:52 you know how annoying it must get for them?
18:54 - It's gotta be constant.
18:55 - Like think about it.
18:56 Think of like, yeah, think of like, all right,
18:58 the best, you know, Italian beef spots
19:00 or the best pizza places.
19:01 You know, think like Boston, Santarpio,
19:03 or Regina, think of how many people hit them up
19:06 wanting to do a little video or do whatever.
19:08 Like at what point, like when do you just be like,
19:10 hey, like we're not having someone
19:11 fucking film here every day.
19:13 - Where you snap and you come off,
19:15 give a rude response like that, a rude response.
19:17 Like even though it's a true response,
19:19 like you can't really help us, like sorry.
19:21 - Exactly.
19:21 Yeah, and these people are all different
19:23 'cause they're doing stuff at their table
19:24 only for the most part, but still it's like,
19:27 I don't know, like at what point is it
19:29 you can't say yes to everyone?
19:30 - You can't.
19:31 - Yeah.
19:32 - You've been given away your entire--
19:33 - I have reached out to a hair transplant place in Turkey
19:37 and I'm like, hey man, I've got like a 500K YouTube page.
19:40 I'm trying to bring my guy White Sox Dave in
19:43 and I'm seeing if they come back offering it
19:45 like for like free or half off or something.
19:47 - But it's so cheap that I don't care.
19:50 - Yeah, very cheap compared to the US.
19:52 - How much is it?
19:52 - 2,500.
19:53 - Two to three K, I think.
19:55 I mean, yeah, you still have to pay for flights.
19:58 I think, no, you have to pay for flights,
19:59 but that includes hotels and food.
20:01 - Okay, so you gotta pay for the flights.
20:03 But that's, I mean, the place that I was consulted at,
20:07 they said 35 grand.
20:08 - That's a no brainer.
20:09 - It's a no brainer.
20:10 So yeah, I don't need--
20:11 - 35 grand is very cheap for the US though, right?
20:15 So it's called, well, there's multiple surgeries.
20:18 - Okay.
20:19 - It's called FUE follicle something extraction.
20:22 - Okay.
20:23 - Where they take the hair from the back
20:24 and put it up front and it goes in units of 500,
20:26 I believe it is.
20:27 So they'll take 500 hairs and put 500 up.
20:29 I was gonna do 3,500 hairs.
20:31 - All right.
20:32 - I think it was.
20:33 So I think it was about 35 grand.
20:34 - A dollar follicle.
20:35 - Dollar hair.
20:38 - You just sit there in a hospital bed
20:40 watching Netflix for 10 hours
20:41 while they just tweeze your head all day.
20:43 - Bing, bing, bing.
20:45 - Last topic here, Terrence Howard on Joe Rogan.
20:48 He came off like a complete maniac.
20:51 Said that he remembered when he was in the womb.
20:53 He believes the periodic table needs to be rebuilt.
20:58 He said straight lines are an illusion
21:00 if you look at them from a different angle.
21:02 You see it's a real perspective.
21:04 He says he invented virtual reality technology
21:08 and has a patent to prove it.
21:10 And a whole bunch of other crazy shit.
21:11 Donnie, you're kind of into this orbit, I would say.
21:14 - Yeah.
21:15 - So where are you at with old Terrence Howard?
21:16 - Yeah, he also says he knows how to get rid of gravity.
21:21 - Yeah.
21:22 - And that one times one equals two.
21:26 And that he can prove that somehow.
21:28 I mean, yeah, I think he was having
21:30 some sort of mental break.
21:31 I will say he does have a lot of patents.
21:34 But the thing is, it's actually not that hard
21:37 to get a patent.
21:38 And the patents don't really prove anything.
21:43 He has a lot of design patents,
21:46 which is more like how something looks
21:49 in terms of some new technology.
21:52 So I don't know.
21:55 He does have patents.
21:57 I think it's a lot more likely
21:59 that he's just schizophrenic
22:02 than the genius of our times.
22:06 I would love if half of what he's saying is true.
22:11 But I don't know, he just seems very delusional.
22:14 I don't know, online I was trying to find an article
22:19 that could just clearly debunk everything he says.
22:22 And I don't know, it seems like not enough people
22:24 have actually put enough time into that,
22:26 just 'cause what he's saying is so absurd.
22:29 I mean, some things like one times one equals two.
22:32 But I don't know.
22:33 - Did he give his rationale on that one?
22:36 - Yeah, I think I found a document
22:38 where he's trying to prove it,
22:39 but it's complete gibberish.
22:42 - I mean, if one, one time,
22:46 like one phone, one time is one.
22:49 - Yes.
22:50 - Thank you, Dave.
22:51 - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:52 - Thank you for that.
22:53 - Boom. - That's how it works.
22:54 - You proved it.
22:55 - Yeah, I don't know.
22:57 - I liked him in Crash, that's all I gotta say about it.
22:59 - Part of me thinks, though,
23:00 when someone speaks so confidently on something,
23:03 maybe there's something, he was like--
23:05 - I almost feel like if you're so confident,
23:07 it shows that you're a bullshitter.
23:11 - I agree, it's the most--
23:12 - When you're talking about yourself,
23:14 when you're like, "I'm so intelligent, I'm so smart."
23:16 - For a normal person,
23:18 he seems like he's left the reservation.
23:21 Something speaks to him.
23:22 Obviously, I'm not serious,
23:26 but something's going on in that head
23:30 where it's like, "You believe your own bullshit so much.
23:33 "Did aliens abduct you and tell you this?"
23:35 I don't know.
23:36 - No, I mean, yeah, I did think
23:38 some of what he's talking about is cool.
23:40 If we could find a way to get rid of gravity,
23:42 that opens up a lot of possibilities
23:44 for space travel, things like that.
23:47 So he was in the first Iron Man,
23:51 and after the first one came out,
23:54 he complained about how much he was being paid,
23:56 asked for a huge raise,
23:58 either getting paid the same,
24:01 or he wanted to get paid the same or more
24:02 as Robert Downey Jr.,
24:05 and then Marvel was like,
24:07 "No, we're not going to do that,"
24:08 and just replaced him with Don Cheadle overnight.
24:11 And I don't think he took that well.
24:14 - Don Cheadle and Terrence Howard?
24:15 - I mean, they're like they do the same stuff.
24:19 - I don't know about that.
24:21 - Iron Man is one thing,
24:22 they did the same thing, and that's about it.
24:24 - I meant they have the same roles.
24:26 - Don Cheadle's like comedic.
24:27 Terrence Howard, to me, is like--
24:29 - Don Cheadle's also in Crash, isn't he?
24:30 - A badass.
24:31 - Pretty sure he is also in Crash.
24:33 - He's had some bad guy roles.
24:36 - I don't know.
24:37 Regardless, Terrence Howard seems like he's a maniac.
24:40 - Listen to the pod, though, it's interesting, at least.
24:43 - No, I--
24:43 - He knows how to talk.
24:44 - Everybody's talking about this, so I want to--
24:46 - Yeah.
24:47 - It's not what I expected.
24:48 Like I said, he's expected kind of like a hard dude
24:50 who was just pretty straight up,
24:52 and then he's basically like a Kanye West brain.
24:57 - Yeah.
24:58 - To an extent.
24:59 - Yeah, he was.
25:00 - A little complex.
25:01 - Yep, I know when Kanye went on to Joe Rogan,
25:04 I think it's one of the worst episodes.
25:06 Like he just talks nonstop,
25:07 but like ends up making zero sense.
25:10 I think Terrence probably came off more coherent
25:13 than Kanye.
25:14 - Yes.
25:15 - But I don't think there's a lot behind a lot
25:17 of what he was saying.
25:18 - What he was saying.
25:19 - Yeah.
25:19 - All right, that's the rundown after show.
25:22 Donny, your boy, Mincey.
25:24 - He's your boy, too.
25:26 - Yeah, he's everyone's boy.
25:27 - He's our boy, our boy, Mince.
25:29 - Our boy from the South.
25:31 He's in his quest to go viral.
25:33 And he succeeded day one.
25:35 He has to hit a million views on a tweet.
25:38 It can be a text tweet or a video tweet.
25:41 Each day he's on the road
25:42 or else he has to fly back to Chicago immediately.
25:45 He can then, once he touches ground in Chicago,
25:47 he can fly back out on the road.
25:49 But yes, he managed to go viral day one.
25:51 I was hoping he would
25:53 because I want to see what he does day two.
25:55 - Hi, Marshall Big Cat.
25:57 You're asking for a million view video.
25:59 There's only one thing to do
26:00 and that's time to go remind the Fandy Whistler.
26:02 What a disgrace, he still is at the Southeastern Conference.
26:04 So let's go.
26:05 - Now the bounty of followers
26:14 from New York East, California,
26:16 number 34, Brendan Seidler.
26:18 - What's up, man?
26:20 What's up, man?
26:21 How we doing?
26:22 I'm back.
26:23 You're still a disgrace at the Southeastern Conference.
26:25 - Do you know what you can do?
26:27 - What's up, man?
26:28 - Do you know what you can do?
26:29 - You know what I'm doing, Will.
26:30 Keep raising hell.
26:31 - I want a picture with you.
26:32 - I don't want a picture with you.
26:33 Hell no, you want a picture with me.
26:35 - Yeah.
26:36 - Look, what is the world coming to?
26:39 The Whistler wants a picture with me?
26:42 We're friends now.
26:43 - No, we're not.
26:44 - All right.
26:45 - No, I'm not following you.
26:49 - I don't know.
26:49 You're still annoying the hell out of everyone.
26:51 - Don't miss it.
26:52 Give some of me a plug.
26:54 - Hey.
26:58 - Yeah.
26:58 - Okay.
26:59 - You know who I'm talking to.
27:00 - Yeah, I don't know.
27:01 - Hey, so listen, we've got a fan day.
27:03 You came by last week on left field.
27:05 We're cooking, we got ribs, crawfish, sausage,
27:08 food and everything.
27:09 You're welcome to come by anytime.
27:11 We're doing live shows out there,
27:12 but feel free to bring your friends.
27:14 We'll feed you.
27:15 Come by to the Whistler.
27:16 We'll feed you some food.
27:18 If you want to, the best of luck.
27:20 But just you're invited and friends.
27:22 - All right, all right, see you.
27:23 - All right.
27:24 I guess I'm friends with the Whistler now.
27:28 I don't know what the world is coming to.
27:31 - I think he had this Vandy Whistler video up his sleeve.
27:34 - It was an ace in the hole, yeah.
27:35 - Because it's something he did a couple years ago
27:38 and it worked.
27:39 So he was like, I'm just going to do a sequel to that.
27:41 Now we start to get into like uncharted territory
27:45 where it's like, I mean, big cat I think was like,
27:48 dude, if you really want to go viral,
27:50 just jump on the field and take your shirt off.
27:54 - Streaking, yeah.
27:55 - Like I would love to see that.
27:58 - I think he did say that he had a couple viral videos
28:01 up his sleeve, so.
28:02 - And it really, yeah.
28:04 - There are things already planned in the works.
28:07 - Here's the thing, for like a million views on Twitter,
28:10 it's not as hard as some platforms.
28:11 So if he gets Dan and Dave behind him
28:14 that are going to give it a retweet
28:17 and like all the other Stoolies will retweet it,
28:19 he can hit a million.
28:21 But it's all about whether he's going to earn that retweet.
28:24 - Yeah, it's going to be like,
28:26 how nice are Dan and Dave today?
28:27 - Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
28:28 - Or did they actually find it funny?
28:29 - Yes.
28:30 Yeah.
28:33 - Or he could do something else, obviously.
28:34 - And then, but here's the other thing.
28:36 If he doesn't hit a million today, will he come back?
28:40 Because you know, he has plans all week.
28:43 He was planning on like staying down South for the weekend,
28:46 probably has a bunch of concerts lined up
28:48 that it's going to be like, if he doesn't hit
28:50 and Dan's like, all right, you got to play back.
28:52 Will he do it or will he go rogue?
28:54 Who knows?
28:56 - Do you remember when, what did he spoil Survivor?
29:01 Surviving Barstool?
29:02 Was that when he, Dave got like mega pissed at Corey?
29:07 - Yes.
29:08 - And as soon as it happened, the security cameras,
29:11 he just put his jacket on and walked outside.
29:14 - He left and Dave was like,
29:15 I need to unleash on someone right now.
29:17 And Corey was there.
29:19 Corey received the brunt of it.
29:21 - It's off.
29:22 Well, good luck to Menci.
29:23 I'm rooting for him.
29:24 I think he could do it.
29:25 - Yeah.
29:26 - I think he could do it.
29:27 - I, like, like Tonya,
29:29 I would love to know what he's got up his sleeve.
29:32 - Yes.
29:33 I was getting-
29:33 - Getting arrested would be pretty funny.
29:35 - Yeah.
29:36 - In some form.
29:37 - Does he have that in him?
29:38 I feel like the cops would just feel too bad
29:41 and be like, oh, we can't arrest this guy.
29:42 He didn't know what he was doing.
29:43 (laughing)
29:45 - Come on.
29:46 - Yeah.
29:47 - All right then, that's the rundown.
29:49 Thank you guys for watching.
29:51 Rundown will be back tomorrow.
29:52 Go watch it.
29:53 (whooshing)
