00:00There's no way that Rico was at this party on Friday being like, yeah, this is Mark Titus guy, everyone fucking hates him.
00:04No.
00:05There's no chance. I don't think Marty would do that either.
00:07I could see a world where when they were doing this podcast two years ago, you know, maybe Hunter said, like, why is this Titus guy so fucking mean to me?
00:15And they're like, oh, no one really likes him.
00:16I don't know. I hope not, but I think we'll let Kirk Witt and Dave figure out who did it.
00:26It is The Rundown. It is April 8th, a Tuesday.
00:28I'm joined here by Stephen Shea and Danny Conrad.
00:32Before we get into it, we are brought to you today by Game Time.
00:35Baseball is back. There's nothing like going to a baseball game, especially last minute.
00:39Luckily for me, I always use Game Time. It is the official ticketing partner of Barstool Sports.
00:43Game Time makes getting tickets faster and easier.
00:46Prices on the app actually go down the closer it gets to Showtime.
00:49Plus, if you purchase a super deal when buying tickets on April 22nd, Game Time will plant a tree with the proceeds for Earth Day.
00:57I was looking at the Cubs game tonight.
01:00Tickets a dollar.
01:01And the amazing deal for great seats only are $1.
01:05You can put those savings back in your pocket and spend them at the ballpark on a hot dog, a new hat, or some good old-fashioned Cracker Jack.
01:11What are you waiting for? I'm going to buy those Cubs games tickets now with Game Time.
01:15Yeah, the hot dog is five times as much as the ticket.
01:18How do you like that?
01:19They raise beer prices, too. I saw that.
01:21Take the guesswork out of buying tickets with Game Time.
01:23Download the Game Time app. Create an account. Use the code RUNDOWN.
01:25$20 off your first purchase. Terms apply.
01:27Again, create an account. Redeem the code RUNDOWN.
01:30R-U-N-D-O-W-N. $20 off.
01:33Download the Game Time app today. What time is it?
01:35Game time.
01:37$5 is not a bad price for a hot dog in the ballgame.
01:39Not at all.
01:40Okay.
01:41The beer prices.
01:43I don't know what they were last year, but I went to opening day, and they were $15.99.
01:48That's an expensive beer.
01:51Yeah, you've got to take a loan out to get drunk there.
01:53How many ounces are we talking?
01:54I think it was just like a cup. It's like 16 ounces, probably.
01:57That is expensive.
01:58It's a lot.
01:59All right.
01:59Number one story, obviously, last night was a national championship, which concluded March Madness.
02:05A lot of varying opinions on how March Madness went.
02:08It was very chalky, but also it gave us a Final Four that had two really good games and a really close national championship.
02:16Last night, ugly start.
02:18Florida wins the game 65-63.
02:20Ugly start from the beginning.
02:21Then it got really, really fun.
02:24Ugly ending, would you say, Stephen?
02:26What were your takeaways from the game?
02:28You don't want to say disappointing, I think, because it's a two-point game, but it's one of those all-time what-ifs.
02:34What if Sharp just shot the ball right there?
02:36It would have been a contested shot for sure, but to end it on an almost double-dribble travel situation where he's boxing out his guy, that's a disaster.
02:50That's going to haunt him for the rest of his life.
02:52Can you think of endings to other games that were in that same caliber, just as bad?
02:57James Worthy gave the ball to the other team, right?
03:01Yeah, I think my answers would all be heartbreak answers.
03:06Mine, for me, is when the Indians lost to the Cubs after coming all the way back, and then there was a rain delay, and then they score.
03:12It was just disappointing.
03:13Like, excitement levels were here, and then a rain delay happens in Game 7 of the World Series, and you lose.
03:18But that last night was just, like, excitement, excitement, excitement, excitement, 20 seconds left.
03:26What are they going to do?
03:27They didn't even get a shot off.
03:28Yeah, it was, like, fluky.
03:29I don't even know if you can compare the Indians-Cubs one, because that was just, they just came back with this one.
03:36Would you, so from the beginning of the game, I tweeted out early.
03:38I said, like, Duke has to be sick to their stomachs watching this, like, abomination of a basketball game.
03:44I've taken a lot of heat on Twitter because of it, but at the time, both teams were 0 for 13 from 3.
03:50Don't tell me that that's Houston, you know, mucking up the game.
03:53The beginning of the game was ugly basketball, no?
03:56There were a lot of missed shots, and I think, you know, that's college in general.
04:00Like, they're obviously not as good shooters as the pros, but I actually really enjoyed this game.
04:05It was a chess match as far as, you know, Walter Clayton Jr. was Florida's best player.
04:09How are they going to stop him?
04:10And he had zero points in the first half, right?
04:12Yeah, finished with 11.
04:13And, you know, they're blitzing him every chance he gets on a pick-and-roll.
04:17So, it was a nice chess match where, you know, they're basically getting Condit involved with a lot of their points and Richard.
04:25So, it was a fun chess match to see.
04:29I was very confused at the end of the game because Houston was very clearly, you know, with whatever it was, 17 seconds, 19 seconds.
04:35They were very clearly going for three and taking their time.
04:38If you're down two there, you've got to go quick.
04:40Even if you're shooting a three, which I have no problem with, you've got to go fast.
04:44Especially if you're as good of an offensive rebounding team as Houston is.
04:49I personally probably would have tried to get a quick two.
04:52And then, you know, if there's an open three, absolutely go for that.
04:54But quick two, I think, would have been the move.
04:57And then, you know, take your chances with your defense.
04:59It's a tough pill to swallow for Houston, especially for the kid that let the ball dribble.
05:03Obviously, that would have been a travel, so you couldn't pick it up.
05:05But it was just so awkward seeing the ball just, like, float around on the floor.
05:09I feel bad for Samson.
05:10I feel like he's not only one of the best coaches, one of the best guys in the game.
05:14So, yeah, you feel bad for Houston.
05:16On the flip side, whenever a team wins a championship and has a record like this, Florida's only lost four games this year.
05:23They won the SEC tournament.
05:25They won the national championship.
05:27They're the hottest team.
05:27They're playing the best ball.
05:29You always have to talk greatest of all time.
05:31I feel like going into this.
05:33No, no, no.
05:33I agree.
05:34Going into this.
05:34They had the lead for, like, two minutes.
05:36Pardon?
05:36They had the lead for, like, two minutes.
05:37I agree.
05:37That's what I'm saying.
05:38Going into this Final Four, it was like, Duke, if they win, they're going to be in the discussion for greatest of all time.
05:44Auburn all year was the best team, was the number one overall seed, made it there.
05:47They were talked about as perhaps the greatest of all time.
05:51Florida's been the hottest team for the entire calendar year now.
05:55They're not even in the discussion?
05:57Any thoughts on that?
05:57No.
05:59If you're going to be one of the greatest teams of all time, you have to lead for them in two minutes.
06:02I mean, that's a pretty open and shut case.
06:04Like, they should have lost this game.
06:06Yeah.
06:06I want to be on record.
06:07I do not think they're the greatest of all time.
06:08I just think it's funny that in this heavyweight Final Four, two of the four teams have been discussed all year like that.
06:15Florida's the one seed, one SEC tournament, and has lost four games.
06:19And I feel like they were disrespected all year.
06:23They won the national championship.
06:23I mean, you're even a college basketball guy.
06:24Like, they're not even objectively, you look at the entire college basketball season, they're not even the best college basketball team this season.
06:31This season?
06:31I mean, they won the championship, so they can say that.
06:33But like, you know, if you took them versus Duke on an even playing field, like, I think everyone's going to do that.
06:39That's the one thing I'll push back on is, no, I don't think they're the greatest of all time, and they're certainly not.
06:44And this year, all season, it was 1-2, 1-2, Duke-Auburn.
06:49It's Auburn-Duke.
06:50It's going to be those two.
06:51It's going to be those two.
06:52While Florida sat there, I think they were like, they started like 17-0.
06:55And it's like, wow, we should start talking about Florida a little bit.
06:58But they've flown under the radar with four losses, and then in the greatest, you know, conference historically, like, statistical-wise,
07:05they won the SEC tournament, and then they swept through the national championship.
07:09So, I don't know.
07:10A really, really good team, but yeah.
07:13It would have been different if Duke had won.
07:15Nicky Smokes is about to be like a broken pull-string doll just saying,
07:19Gator Boy, stay out.
07:20Gator Boy, stay out.
07:21I'm already sick of it.
07:22I guess we have to get into that next.
07:25Is he our Florida guy?
07:26He is now.
07:27He's our Florida guy.
07:27Our Florida man.
07:28Florida guy.
07:30Nicky Smokes went down to Gainesville for the tournament, or for the national championship,
07:36and then he was going to do Man on the Street, which I don't think the video has came out yet,
07:40but I know that him and Jacob have been working on it.
07:44Yeah, Nicky Smokes, just looking at that picture right there,
07:47one of the all-time, he'll rub it in your face when he wins.
07:50What's that tweet say, Doug?
07:52He's 2-0 against Dave in Game 7s.
07:55He's the Summer Games basketball gold medalist.
08:00Half the office.
08:01What does that mean?
08:01Oh, what do you think?
08:03He has a two-hand hog.
08:05He lied to Dave to rally his team to a win.
08:09He's the Chicago 1v1-1 champion.
08:12He's the 1v1-1 barstool champion, and he is now adding national champion to his resume.
08:18Very modest guy.
08:19He uses that picture far too much.
08:21This is like a weekly Smokes tweet where it's this picture of Kobe holding the trophy.
08:28I'll give him credit.
08:31All his teams that he doesn't really care about win.
08:35So I don't think that's really good news for the Miami Dolphins or the Miami Heat,
08:41but every team he's loosely associated with crushes.
08:45Yeah, he's like an expert bandwagon fan.
08:47Yeah.
08:49Ultimately, if you watch, and we watch sports year-round here in this gambling cave,
08:55you watch a Dolphins game with Nicky Smokes, you know his team is playing.
08:59Yes.
08:59Like he screams and yells.
09:00Now, don't get me wrong.
09:01Unless it's like week 15 and they're like maybe out of it, and they might make a wild card,
09:05which wouldn't even make him happy.
09:07Fair enough.
09:07My point is he goes and yells and screams, knows every player, has nicknames for him.
09:12He's clearly a huge Dolphin fan.
09:13I'm not saying he did anything wrong here, because I guess if the, I don't know, Columbus Blue Jackets,
09:20who I'm from Columbus, but I don't watch hockey, if they were in the Stanley Cup,
09:24would I increase my content?
09:27Sure.
09:27Naturally.
09:29To be fair, that is our job.
09:31Correct.
09:31Amplify your sports fandom.
09:34And so if they're going to send Nicky to Gainesville and do all this, like great job, Nicky.
09:39I love it for you.
09:40Great.
09:42Nicky Smokes.
09:43Showed up to conference semifinals of the SEC tournament and had a roster.
09:50Was asking what name everyone had.
09:52So, I don't know.
09:53It just adds to the Nicky Smokes lore.
09:55Shout out.
09:56What were you guys saying about Jacob flew down there?
09:58So, Jacob flew down there to be the cameraman for the man on the street.
10:03His flight was delayed once, maybe twice.
10:06So, he was going to get in like while the game was in progress.
10:10So, I think he got into Jacksonville.
10:12Well, yeah, 913.
10:14So, he basically had to drive as fast as he can.
10:17Legally.
10:18Responsibly.
10:18Of course.
10:19Fast as he could from the Jacksonville airport to Gainesville.
10:22I don't know how far that is.
10:23I think that is the somewhat local airport.
10:26But still, that's, you know, obviously cutting it pretty close.
10:30So, he gets there shortly after the game ends.
10:33What is it?
10:34One hour?
10:34An hour or 18 minutes.
10:35Okay.
10:35So, that's not like the quickest drive.
10:38Gets there after the game ends and is looking for smokes.
10:40And smokes in Do Not Disturb.
10:42Which is crazy.
10:44But listen, that's, that's, Nicky Smokes has done something at this company that I'm truly
10:52envious of.
10:53Which is, he has made that type of thing okay.
10:57Like for him.
10:58Like he is allowed to suck.
10:59That does not surprise anyone.
11:00He lied, he lied to Dave's face about betting on Michigan and betting on whatever.
11:06All to get a high noon.
11:08Which you would call like a, and he just rolls with it.
11:10He's like, now he's bragging about having done it.
11:13He, it's awesome.
11:14And Nicky Smokes lives a life.
11:16Shout out Nicky.
11:16But yeah, Jacob busted his ass to get down there for him and then couldn't get a hold
11:21of Nicky.
11:22Yeah.
11:22I have never put my phone on Do Not Disturb.
11:25Yeah, I'm not a Do Not Disturb.
11:26I do sometimes at night, like if I'm going to sleep.
11:28But I, you just.
11:29What's the benefit?
11:30Yeah.
11:30I mean, I've been called from people in this office at like one in the morning, so.
11:34But sometimes like you need to take those calls, maybe not one in the morning, but at
11:38like 11 p.m.
11:39On like a Wednesday, that's still fair game.
11:41What do you.
11:43My wife is sleeping next to me.
11:45True.
11:45But like, is there something.
11:46What's different between Do Not Disturb and having your phone on silent?
11:49Does it just not show up on your lock screen if it's on Do Not Disturb?
11:53I think it does.
11:54But I mean, it's.
11:56So yeah, what is the difference?
11:56It's basically on silent.
11:57But if you're, I think you can get through if you call twice.
12:01So if it is a true emergency and someone does need to reach me, they can.
12:05And then I think if you're like one of the favorite contacts, then you can get through.
12:10Maybe I'll become a Do Not Disturb guy based on that.
12:13But yeah, I.
12:13If you call me in the middle of the night, I'm not answering either because my phone's
12:16on silent.
12:16Right.
12:17I'm always down to be disturbed.
12:18So what about with texts?
12:20What's the difference?
12:21Uh, you don't get alerted that you have texts.
12:24So kind of like just being on vibrate, but all right, Nikki Smokes, there's no need to
12:29do that.
12:29The phone won't vibrate.
12:31Being on Do Not Disturb is very funny.
12:34For, not overnight.
12:35That's not, being on Do Not Disturb when you're waiting on your cameraman is very funny.
12:39And when your team just won.
12:41All right.
12:42Well, we'll move off the national championship.
12:43Next up, we're going to talk about the Wrigley Goose.
12:46So if you don't know the story, and Danny, correct me if I'm wrong because you're the
12:50resident of Chicago in here, a goose made its home in the bleachers of Wrigley Field.
12:57Yeah, center field bleachers, and they even blocked off some of the bleachers so people
13:02couldn't sit there in order to protect the goose, and they went as far as having Wrigley
13:07ushers guard the area.
13:10Listen, that's fine.
13:11I just think we don't talk about the ridiculousness enough of this country's enforcement of the
13:18Migratory Bird Act.
13:20Can you refresh the viewers about the Migratory Bird Act?
13:23Well, you ever hear like, oh, you can't go near a goose, or you'll get a $5,000 fine,
13:28most birds for that matter.
13:30And we go as far as, I get no hunting during non-hunting season, but to accommodate a baseball
13:36game for a goose is just ridiculous.
13:38We're treating it like it's like a Targaryen dragon.
13:41Any other animal, any other critter, that thing is getting shooed immediately and probably
13:46killed eventually.
13:47A goose, we got Wrigley ushers literally like gathering sticks for it to build its nest.
13:51It just doesn't make sense.
13:53Yeah, I could, let me tell you this, I could not give two fucks about this goose.
13:57It is 2-0 though, I will say that.
13:58That's the only thing I was going to say was, if the goose shows up like before a game,
14:04whatever, I don't give a fuck what you do with that.
14:06Kick that goose out.
14:08Once the goose stays and wins, you can't touch that goose until the team loses.
14:13Agreed.
14:14It's more about, yeah, geese laws in general.
14:16There was once, you know those golf course birds, it's like a red-winged blackbird, and
14:20they're very territorial.
14:22I have a video out there of one of them attacking me, just gnawing at my head, and people in
14:27the comments were just like, make sure you don't touch it, make sure you don't touch it.
14:31It's like, so theoretically, a gaggle of geese could just kill me, and legally I can't do
14:35anything about it, because you just can't touch these birds.
14:37So you're telling me, as our goose law expert, if, so I thought the reason they might have
14:42done this is because it's April, tickets are a dollar on game time, it's cold, okay,
14:49we'll protect this goose.
14:50You're telling me if this was in the playoffs and it was trying to be sold out, they would
14:53be blocking off spots in the bleachers because it's a fucking goose?
14:56Yeah, and reserving certain Wrigley ushers to be geese keepers.
15:02But that's like everywhere.
15:05Like, geese are this protected everywhere, even outside of Wrigley.
15:09Steve?
15:09It is pretty wild that they're blocking off, but I mean, not close to a sellout yesterday.
15:14Like, there was room for that, so I don't mind it, especially since they're winning.
15:18But yeah, I mean, if a bird makes its nest, like, there are not really laws about that.
15:22Like, you guys probably aren't familiar, but in Arlington Heights, the Olive Garden has
15:27just all over their signage in the front, there are half a dozen bird's nests.
15:32I was unfamiliar.
15:33You're telling me.
15:34There will be some people that watch this video that are familiar.
15:36Olive Garden in Arlington Heights, right off Rand Road, is a ton of bird's nests all in
15:44the signage.
15:44When you walk in, you look up and there's six or seven bird's nests.
15:47And you're saying you can't get rid of them?
15:49I don't know.
15:50Is that what you're saying?
15:51Yeah, what do you mean?
15:52There's physically on the Olive Garden sign?
15:54That's what you mean by signage?
15:55Signage, like, above where you walk in.
15:57So, like, very high, maybe like 30 feet in the air.
16:00But in the letters, there are several bird's nests.
16:04And I'm not sure what you can do about that legally.
16:08There's, like, squatters.
16:09That's a horrible, we got to make change.
16:12Because there's certain animals, like everyone, I don't know if you guys do.
16:14I love dogs, right?
16:15You would never harm a dog.
16:18I don't give a fuck about birds.
16:20Like, light that bird's nest on fire so he doesn't come back to it.
16:23I don't care.
16:24Not to mention, geese are very aggressive.
16:26Like, I've definitely felt the need to use self-defense against a goose multiple times.
16:30I love that comment, though.
16:31Ricketts probably charged him for a ticket.
16:34Probably did.
16:34All right, NFL draft, it's coming up.
16:38That's why we have Steve Che on.
16:41So, the story is that Schefter's saying all signs are pointing to Travis Hunter at two to the Browns.
16:45Cam Ward is now minus 5,000 to go to the Titans one overall.
16:49Steve Che, does that align with what you're hearing?
16:52Yes, it does align with what I'm hearing.
16:54I got word over the weekend that it was going to be Travis Hunter at two.
16:57It was minus 130.
16:58I put in a bet on our lovely DraftKings sportsbook.
17:01That makes sense for the Browns.
17:04Like, they do not have really a lot of playmakers on offense.
17:08And, you know, he plays defense.
17:10He'll most likely be a full-time cornerback.
17:13They have Denzel Ward.
17:13They have, you know, Miles Garrett.
17:15They have a formidable enough defense as far as personnel.
17:19Adding him, too, that would be great.
17:21And then if you can get some additional, you know, weaponry on offense, that's great.
17:25What I, Cam Ward has been kind of the chalky favorite to go number one.
17:28I don't love this pick for them just because they are so far from being one quarterback away that I think you're starting as a rookie.
17:37Wait, you're saying we are, if we got the quarterback, we're still not close?
17:43I'm talking about Tennessee.
17:44Okay, sorry about that.
17:45I'm sorry.
17:45Yes.
17:46The Tennessee Titans, like, yeah.
17:47I think Cleveland, it could make sense.
17:50Like, I would think Cleveland would want to even move up to get their guy.
17:54Tennessee moves down.
17:55They get, you know, either Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, someone like that.
17:58And they can start building their team.
18:00They're not ready for, they're not going to win next year.
18:03They're probably not going to win the year after that.
18:04So then, you know, you're in year three of the rookie quarterback deal.
18:07And then hopefully you have a formidable enough team to compete.
18:10I don't think that that is the smartest move long term.
18:15But, you know, it's going to help sell tickets.
18:16It's going to help put the franchise in a good direction.
18:19I wouldn't give up on Will Levis quite yet, but it seems like they are.
18:25So, yeah, that's the latest scuttle.
18:27But it also appears Chidder is dropping.
18:29How far is he dropping?
18:31I'd be shocked if he got past the Saints.
18:33I still think the Giants are going to take him one way or another.
18:35If it's at three, if they trade down a little bit, I would be shocked just because, you know.
18:40Can you go to the odds again, Doug?
18:42Because it's saying right there it was 200 for, was it, Abdul Carter to go three?
18:47Yeah.
18:47I'm with you, Steve.
18:49Are they really on draft day, the New York Giants going to look at Chidder Sanders,
18:53who's going to come there and be like Mr. New York, Mr.
18:57They're going to pass on that?
18:58Well, there is, you know, a potential Manning coming up in future years.
19:04So, that is certainly of interest in New York, you know, with Eli having been there.
19:10But, you know, if you have Chidder sitting there, he was wearing the Giants cleats at, you know, late in the season.
19:18And then also there's the clip of him talking to Gilly where he was like, Gilly was like,
19:22I really don't want you to go to an NFC rival.
19:24And then Chidder was like, well, it is what it is, man.
19:27Like, I'm coming.
19:28So, you know, he's obviously not going to the Eagles.
19:31He's obviously not going to the Commanders.
19:36Dallas doesn't really have the capital.
19:38They're very low.
19:39I don't think he's going to fall past New Orleans.
19:41And they already have Dak, who they've paid handsomely.
19:45So, that would point to the Giants, who, again, he put their logo on his cleats.
19:50So, I would be surprised if he is not a New York Giant, but he's not going to get past nine.
19:55It looks like there's some value.
19:56If you think he might go at three, what was that saying, Doug?
19:58Plus 550 right now in DraftKings for Chidder Sanders?
20:03What's that?
20:05500.
20:05Plus 500?
20:06Yeah.
20:07All right.
20:07I might sprinkle a little bit on that.
20:09Because I agree with you.
20:10When I close my eyes and think of the Big Apple in New York, I think of they're going to want someone that can not just help their team,
20:17but can also live in the big city and be the man there.
20:21And Chidder is the guy in this draft that would be that.
20:24I think I'm much higher on Chidder than a lot of drafts people.
20:29Like, some people are like, well, he only has an average arm.
20:32I'm not really sold on him as, you know, an elite level quarterback.
20:36I don't think he's going to be necessarily a top five quarterback, but I think that he can be a very good starting quarterback.
20:40And if you need that, you know, I think that could make sense for the Giants at that point, especially with the receivers.
20:47How many sources have you lost or deemed untrustworthy throughout the years after they went in cahoots with some of your coworkers to fuck with you?
20:55Not that many.
20:56But once they do it, you're like, oh, I can't trust you anymore, like the guy who screwed up day-to-day for you?
21:03I don't know if anyone directly screwed up.
21:05I think that was like comment.
21:07Oh, sorry.
21:07That was like the NFL draft show.
21:09No, no, no.
21:11I mean, those people are friends and do it kind of in a loving way.
21:15Fool me once, Steve.
21:16Fool me once.
21:17Yeah, I mean, you don't necessarily want to get fooled, but, you know, if it makes for a better show, like, I can't.
21:22How am I supposed to be mad at that?
21:23Like, this made a very funny moment.
21:26Like, okay, it was the butt of it.
21:27Well, it made it a lot better.
21:29Well, not that, but, like, I would feel like I have to take everything with a grain of salt from that source from there on out.
21:34But that's the Che difference, and I respect that.
21:37Some of those guys have moved up in the world, and they're full GMs now.
21:40I don't know.
21:41We've got – you don't have to give too much, but, Steven, you've been working hard on the NFL draft show coming up.
21:46Yep.
21:47Excited for it?
21:48Yep.
21:48Yeah, a couple weeks.
21:49It'll be fun.
21:50It's going to be me, Brandon Walker, Gruden.
21:51We're going to have Liam Bluntman involved.
21:53We just had a meeting about it this morning.
21:55So, yeah, a lot of fun stuff.
21:56A lot of big guests, which we're very excited about.
21:59So, yeah, it's going to be – I think I've been doing this for like six years now, or five years.
22:03We've all been very, very fun.
22:05And so I'm looking forward to this year, especially with Coach Gruden.
22:08Of course.
22:09All right, next we have the Arizona State girl.
22:11You can play the clip of her, but it's going viral.
22:14She's basically a college student at Arizona State that posted a day in the life.
22:21And she lives a college life that I would say the whole internet is saying that's not a real college life.
22:31What's your take on it, Danny?
22:32She has – it's a random like Wednesday.
22:36She's having $200 dinners.
22:38She's going to do yoga.
22:39Was that what your guys' college experience was?
22:41Not even remotely.
22:42You know, obviously this girl comes from money, and I hear that ASU is kind of just like a fantasy land to begin with.
22:49But if you're like – like I assume all of us are like middle class.
22:53So once you get to college, that makes you broke.
22:56So this girl is very rich.
22:57Once she got to college, she's like only kind of rich.
23:00Anytime, let alone – she's getting like $200 dinners.
23:04But anytime you could dine anywhere outside of your dining hall or go to a yoga place instead of your university gym, that was filthy rich in my eyes when I was in college.
23:15Not to mention she starts this off being like it's nice to have a detox week, whatever that is, after a weekend in Vegas.
23:23Like what really – what is a detox week to her?
23:26Because at first I was like, oh, is she just not going to go to class?
23:29She goes to class, and then she's also drinking at the dinner.
23:32Yeah, I mean my first takeaway is that I can't relate to this because I went to school in Columbus, Ohio, and 90% of – like in the spring, it's pissing snow, and it's pissing rain at you.
23:46In the winter, it's fucking freezing, and you're walking 30 minutes to class.
23:49And in the fall, like you're just getting ready for football season or for Saturday football, but it's cold out and wherever.
23:56This – take away all the things she does.
23:58Going to school in Scottsdale, Arizona, is that where Arizona State is?
24:03Yes.
24:04I mean that looks like –
24:05Tempe Tech Network.
24:05Yeah, that looks like a dream life in general.
24:08Yeah, I would love to like talk to an average girl about their college experience because even little things, like she just bought a pair of shoes.
24:16I'm not buying shit.
24:18I have no money.
24:18If I – there would be a place that would have like 50-cent wings at night, and I just like want to eat during the day all day, no breakfast, just because I'm like, all right, I'll get my money's worth tonight.
24:29And like – I mean the more I'm watching this, the more I'm getting upset.
24:33Just like the – this can't be real is my take.
24:36I remember –
24:36She got a queen bed.
24:38I have a take on this.
24:40The queen bed is a bit much.
24:42So I have been to Arizona State's campus.
24:44It is very nice.
24:45It is one of the nicest campuses.
24:46The weather there is incredible.
24:48The campus overall is incredible.
24:49Great layout.
24:50So obviously she has some money, but she does address in it that she has some like brand deal stuff.
24:56So she is obviously some type of influencer or marketing person where she is getting paid for a lot of this.
25:03I also don't think – yeah, this girl, what, 230,000 followers on Twitter?
25:09That's crazy.
25:09Probably way bigger on other platforms.
25:11She takes very few college credits from what I imagine, maybe 12, which is fine.
25:19She is – the one thing I think about this video is I do not think she's getting that much sleep because she's waking up early.
25:26She's waking up early.
25:30She is getting ready to breakfast and stuff like that.
25:32Then she's going to work out to go to yoga, then come back, like shower and stuff like that, then go to class, very few classes, maybe one or two, then going out to dinner and stuff like that.
25:43I don't think based on – I think this is the new age, like, you know, obviously NIL for athletes and stuff like that, but this is the new age influencer college experience if you hit it big.
25:54Obviously she has with her social media following where she is taking advantage of it and making money and getting paid to do this type of stuff.
26:00So good for her.
26:01I don't think that this is even that big of a stretch.
26:04Yeah, I'm with you.
26:06There's – the things –
26:07The dinner is paid for by whatever –
26:10So are you assuming – like, I don't know.
26:12She says, like, I have, like, a dinner to talk about brand deals or something like that.
26:17Fair.
26:17So, like, yeah, we – you know, occasionally we'll go to, like, a fancy dinner and it will be, like, the clients are there or whatever.
26:23So, like, yeah, okay.
26:24Yeah, and I guess one thing that's –
26:26This is a nice day.
26:26That's changed since we were in college.
26:28Like, at least I didn't realize because there wasn't TikTok and whatever.
26:32There wasn't, like, people getting paid while they were in college to be influencers.
26:37At least I didn't run in those circles.
26:40Now I'm assuming that at every campus, especially, like, big schools, there are people that have social – like, Mubi was one of them.
26:46Mubi was a monster on social media at her college a year ago.
26:51Correct.
26:52So, I don't know.
26:53The college experience has changed, but when I think of college, it's like –
26:56It's not even, like, the money, though.
26:57It's, like, the amount of, like, free time.
26:59I don't know that she is just taking 12 credits.
27:03It's kind of –
27:0412 credits means 12 hours a week.
27:05So, that's not that much time.
27:06Right.
27:06That's four days of classes, three hours a day.
27:09But she started saying, like, oh, I got to sleep in today.
27:12I don't know.
27:12It just must be nice.
27:13This is, like, what you see in Blue Mountain State on a TV show.
27:17She also is definitely, like, an influencer, like, brand person because she's saying, like, I'm doing homework,
27:21but I'm also, like, checking emails, like, what fucking emails are you getting?
27:25Yeah.
27:25Like, you need to – like, yeah, she probably has some type of job.
27:28All right.
27:28I think what we need is we need a – we want a rebuttal.
27:31We want a day in the life of a normal college student at Arizona State.
27:35I think everyone that doesn't understand this video is a huge boomer.
27:38Fuck.
27:39All right.
27:39Well, Danny's the one who sent it in to be on the rundown, so.
27:42Yeah.
27:42This is a stretch.
27:44I mean, my college experience was very different from this.
27:46Of course.
27:46But, like, I understand how this works.
27:48Okay.
27:49This is basically, like, yeah.
27:51Like, kid actors' lives are different, too.
27:53You can't compare that to your kid life.
27:55If you throw in money in the mix while you're at college, it's an entirely different experience,
27:59even if you have, like, a dining hall job.
28:01I just remember my biggest, like, change is, like, I used to remember I would only buy, like, Natty Light.
28:07Like, even, like, Coors Light and Bud Light or whatever, Miller Light, felt like, ah, man, I can't –
28:13I got to get the cheapest case of beer.
28:15Now there's, like, craft beers and all these things.
28:18That didn't even cross my mind when I was a college student.
28:20Oh, yeah.
28:21Always Keystone Light.
28:22I would have to, like, pocket cookies from the dining hall if I wanted to eat later.
28:25What was your guys' job during college, if you had one?
28:30I never got one at the campus, but, like, on breaks, I worked at this –
28:34I'd come home and work at a hardware store.
28:36I refereed and officiated year-round.
28:40So I would go to class, whatever, and then I would –
28:43I got my high school baseball license and my high school basketball license,
28:47and I would just always be going to, you know, Worthington Christian Middle School,
28:51and I would have a game at 3.30 and 4.30, and I don't know.
28:54I liked it.
28:55Okay.
28:55What did you do?
28:56I worked RSR, which was, like, the resident safety, like, basically the doorman.
29:01Like, I would make sure people swiped in, and you basically just sit in a booth with a TV,
29:05and my schedule was Saturday, 8 to midnight, and then I'd work one afternoon during the week for, like, three hours,
29:12and it would make me $50, which would get me through the weekend.
29:15Hell, yeah.
29:16But I would just watch Sunday Night Football, and during the one afternoon, I'd, like, watch some other TV, and it was great.
29:23Not bad.
29:24All right.
29:25Final thing.
29:26Got to address it.
29:28Kind of took over our socials yesterday.
29:30is the whole Hunter Dickinson, Goodman, Marty Mush, Rico Bosco, Mark Titus situation.
29:40I'm sure it'll get delved into more on Thursday with the Unnamed Show, but you can throw the clip in there.
29:46Basically, what happened is Jeff Goodman hosts a show called Field of 68.
29:52It's a college basketball podcast.
29:54John Fanta's on there a lot as well.
29:56But basically, Hunter Dickinson, who just finished his long, illustrious career playing college basketball.
30:026.9 million.
30:03Holy cow.
30:03This is a big video.
30:04Oh, yeah.
30:05Is this the Mostly Sports Account one?
30:07Yeah.
30:07This is the original video, but, like, getting that.
30:09Yeah.
30:09Whenever you retire.
30:11Absolutely.
30:11Whenever you retire, you've got a spot on Field of 68.
30:13I've got a couple years, Jeff, and then—
30:14All right, but no barstool.
30:15You've come to Field of 68.
30:17I will say, the barstool people were killing me after the season, so I've got to—
30:21That's a rocky relationship right now with them.
30:24The only guy that's got my back is, like, Marty Enrico out there, so it's a little rocky
30:28relationship with Barstool.
30:29Yeah, Mushy Mush.
30:29I don't know about Mushy Mush.
30:30But the worst player—the worst person at barstool is the one that does the college basketball
30:36barstool.
30:36I hate him, bro.
30:37I don't even know who that is.
30:38I don't—
30:39He's the college basketball—he was a walk-in at Ohio State.
30:43The man would be trying to act like he was in there averaging 20 at Ohio State.
30:47Bro, you were a walk-on at Ohio State.
30:49Like, calm down.
30:50He was a post-narrows guy.
30:51He'd be trying to act like—I swear, people in Barstool tell me how everybody hates him
30:56except for Big Cat.
30:57That's the only reason why he's got a job there.
30:59No, the thing with him is—I don't even remember his name, though.
31:01What's his name?
31:02I don't know his name.
31:03You're asking a lot.
31:04No idea.
31:05He's Harry Barstool over here, so we've got to keep him out of it.
31:08We've got to keep him out of it right now.
31:09I'm not going to put John in that situation because John is the middle guy.
31:13Everybody loves John.
31:14Everybody loves John.
31:15This is going off the rails, Dagan.
31:16Titus, Titus.
31:17Thank you, Titus.
31:17It's going off the rails.
31:18Here's the problem with Titus, and we'll go after this.
31:22He can dish it out, but he can't take it.
31:25I think the biggest thing—forget the whole Marty, Rico.
31:29I'm sure they'll investigate deep into it.
31:32The Goodman and Dickinson acting like they didn't know who Mark was was embarrassing
31:37because it's just not—like, Goodman has called Mark on the show.
31:42Goodman has texted Mark.
31:43Goodman has tweeted at Mark.
31:44Goodman's show, Field of 68, has said that Mark Titus is the reason why their show started
31:52because he, like, showed them how to do it.
31:56And to be—I've got to offend Mark a little bit more, not that he needs it.
31:59His whole persona, he wrote a book called Don't Put Me In, Coach,
32:03My Journey from the End of the Bench to the End of the Bench.
32:06He was famous in college for creating the trillion, which is to play a certain amount of minutes
32:12and have zero points, zero rebounds, zero assists, zero steals, zero whatever.
32:17He consistently makes fun of himself for not being a good basketball player
32:21and being on the end of the bench.
32:23So you guys, you can talk about the Marty and Rico thing.
32:25The idea that Hunter says he acts like he averaged 20 points a game,
32:32and Goodman to say he doesn't—those are the two biggest losers in the clip.
32:35Yeah, pretending that they don't know his name is the lamest, most transparent thing of all time.
32:40I think you lose immediately right after saying that.
32:43And then, the barstool-wise, Hunter does go on to say that someone at barstool told him
32:49no one likes Mark.
32:50The only reason that they're nice to Mark is because Big Cat likes him,
32:54which is just not true.
32:55I saw Stephen Shea came out and made a very brave statement
32:59that he actually does like Mark Titus.
33:02So now there's two, Big Cat and Shea.
33:04Well, Hunter Dickinson did a good job of making sure that he's not going to work at barstool.
33:09So correct me if I'm wrong, and I have not really delved into this.
33:13I did see the clip, and I did see like Mark's retort,
33:15but I haven't really gone too much outside of that.
33:19Hunter Dickinson does a show with Marty.
33:23Am I—
33:23Did.
33:24Did.
33:25Did.
33:25So he—
33:26But he—
33:26It was some type of recorded, like we put it out on, you know, audio and YouTube, correct?
33:31Yeah, and he had gone on Benchmap as well with Rico and Marty.
33:35So he has, at point, worked, probably not getting a paycheck,
33:38but like he was working.
33:41He was on a show that we put out regularly.
33:43I know for a fact that he was on Benchmap.
33:46Is it true that him and Marty did a show?
33:48Yeah, I don't know if he was a guest or a co-host.
33:51For sure.
33:53I know this.
33:55He's been involved with Barstool before.
33:57Yeah, they had gone there.
33:58He had shown them around.
34:00Here's what I can say.
34:01I know, I believe, Marty and Hunter are friends.
34:07They're friends.
34:08Rico, the funniest part about this is Rico just posted a picture on Instagram this weekend.
34:14Of course.
34:15Of him and Hunter Dickinson at a party.
34:17So I'm hoping it's neither because I like Marty and I like Rico,
34:22but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if Hunter is saying someone at Barstool told him everyone hates Mark.
34:29I think you should leave banana suit.
34:32We're going to get this guy.
34:33Right, yeah, yeah.
34:34But I mean, I don't know.
34:37Didn't Marty and Ev have like an open kind of mini beef with Titus way back when they're talking about time slots?
34:45Maybe Marty was just like, oh, you know, fuck Titus during that moment in front of Dickinson.
34:49And then Dickinson was just like, oh, everyone hates him.
34:52I could just see it being something as stupid as that.
34:54Right.
34:55There was some animosity, I think, when they brought in like a new college basketball guy.
34:59Right.
34:59And no one at this company could obviously speak for everyone.
35:02It's just stupid.
35:04Yeah.
35:04My guess is that Marty nor Rico has said anything in the last year.
35:11It didn't happen on Friday.
35:13There's no way that Rico was at this party on Friday being like, yeah, this is Mark Titus guy.
35:20Everyone fucking hates him.
35:20There's no chance.
35:21I don't think Marty would do that either.
35:22I could see a world where when they were doing this podcast two years ago, you know, maybe Hunter said, like, why is this Titus guy so fucking mean to me?
35:30And they're like, oh, no one really likes him.
35:32I don't know.
35:33I hope not.
35:33But, yeah, I think we'll let Kirk Witt and Dave figure out who did it.
35:39Also, like, I don't want a piece of us, man.
35:41You know, on record, like I tweeted out yesterday, like, I like Mark.
35:44He's part of the act.
35:44I think he's a great addition to Barstool and the act.
35:48It's OK if not everyone likes you.
35:50Like, I'm sure there are a lot of people that don't like me.
35:52Who cares?
35:53A ton.
35:53It's not a popularity contest.
35:56So while this sucks and, like, you know, you don't want to see Mark get dragged like this.
36:01Like, I think it's good for Mark.
36:03Correct me if I'm wrong.
36:04Like, the amount of people that have been like.
36:06I mean, it's probably not great.
36:07Like, you know.
36:07Like, Hunter Dickinson says he sucks.
36:09And let's be honest, not a lot of people like Hunter Dickinson.
36:12The internet has been like, Mark's fucking awesome.
36:15So fill me in exactly on Hunter Dickinson.
36:17And why is he such a big deal?
36:20He played for Michigan.
36:22And the big thing is, like, if you make a name for yourself as a freshman and then stay for a really long time, it feels like you're, you know, you're here forever.
36:29So he played at Michigan.
36:31I think he played a couple years.
36:33They went semi-deep in the tournament.
36:35He was then the huge transfer that transferred to Kansas.
36:39Kansas, Kansas was the preseason number one, led by transfer Hunter Dickinson, who's going to be an All-American.
36:46And then they flopped.
36:48And they had one of the worst years Kansas had in a really, really long time.
36:50And then he came back this year.
36:52And now he's the preseason All-American.
36:54They're the preseason number one.
36:55They have the best transfer class.
36:58And they're number one.
36:59And they flopped again.
37:00And they didn't have a really good Big 12 season.
37:03And they lost in the first round of the tournament, upset to Arkansas.
37:05So he gets a lot of hate for his defense.
37:10And he gets a lot of hate for being overrated.
37:13And I'm not here to talk about any of that.
37:14But he's just a polarizing figure that has stayed really long in college.
37:19And I think people point that out to him.
37:21And then he said that now that he's done with his eligibility, he's going to go on like a, I can chirp at you and not have repercussions.
37:28And the first person he chose was Mark.
37:30Well, knowing our company, this beef is going to be squashed by either a combine or a rat battle.
37:37Should be fun.
37:39So, all right.
37:39You guys got anything else?
37:41I think that's it.
37:43Steve?
37:45Yeah, I think that's it.
37:46We got mini golf this week.
37:48Mini golf starts.
37:49It's live, right?
37:50Oh, we're doing Barcele After Dark tonight.
37:51Yep.
37:52Barcele After Dark tonight.
37:53Plug your show.
37:54It's called Four Nations.
37:56Four, F-O-R-E, not four.
37:58It is me and Hank, Team USA.
38:01Two-on-two mini golf against Team The World, which is Steven Che representing China and Max representing Italy.
38:10Basically, we have to watch it tonight.
38:12It'll be right on right after the rundown.
38:14To win a hole, both you and your partner have to hit a hole-in-one on that hole.
38:18So, it'll either be Max and Che have to hit a hole-in-one on one, or me and Hank do.
38:22First team to do it.
38:23We win that hole.
38:24We move on.
38:25How's your mini-putt skills?
38:27None of us qualified, by the way.
38:29I was pretty upset that I did not qualify.
38:32I am, and no one to the blame but myself there.
38:35But I finished.
38:37I was in the final grouping last year.
38:38I think I was like 26 under.
38:40So, I was.
38:41Or 25 under, something like that.
38:42But I can compete in this.
38:45What are our predictions?
38:45The whole hole-in-ones are totally different, though.
38:47Like, we're not playing for Planet Safe.
38:49What are our predictions for how long you think it'll take?
38:52I don't know.
38:53I haven't played all the holes.
38:54Because, like, I played my first round yesterday with Spider, and there were maybe five or six holes that were closed.
39:01Because they either had paint on them, or, like, they had to finish connecting something.
39:06There's at least, like, three out there that are going to give you a hard time.
39:10I've heard, like, three are almost impossible to hole-in-one.
39:13So, I think it could be a long stream.
39:17But we'll see.
39:17I mean, Jerry did this last year, and I think he finished much faster than anticipated.
39:22So, who knows?
39:23It's one of those things where you finish 15 of the holes like that, and then you spend four hours on one of the holes.
39:29And what's going to be hard is, like, two people have to get it.
39:32Yeah.
39:33All right.
39:33As for the mini-golf portion, I really wasn't too upset that I'm not in mini-golf.
39:39I want to be in it, obviously.
39:40Actually, now that I see, I don't know if we're talking prize pool, but when I see that prize pool, that is a punch to the fucking gut.
39:47You have a 50% chance of splitting that?
39:50I mean, there's, yes.
39:52There's eight people on each team?
39:56Is it eight?
39:57It's eight or nine, even if it's fucking ten.
40:00Yeah.
40:01Jesus.
40:02So, you guys will have to finish before the actual mini-golf event.
40:05Yeah, we'll just tell Dave and them, just hold on.
40:07We'll finish up here soon.
40:08Big boys are working.
40:09Yeah.
40:09I actually have been helping one of the teams with scouting and pre-draft research.
40:14Of course.
40:16Of course you have.
40:17All right.
40:17That's the rundown.
40:18See you guys tomorrow.
40:19See you.
40:19See you.
