I'm Mark Titus. He is Brandon Walker.
It's Thursday, are you one plugged? Hello, there he is. It's Thursday, September 10th. We're live from Chicago and we are brought to you on this day as we are on every day by Modelo, the crisp. On this day! I see clearly. John Cena, bros. This crisp, some of the Modelo's for the traditions that I went, what did they say? No, you got me, now you got me. On this day. I see clearly. I see clearly. And how many... Rosemary, you got it right? I guess some mine. Headed my head. Everything has come to light. Everything's come to light then make a... All right, Bui a kabui aka. This crisp, smooth Modelo is for the traditions that make college football Saturdays, sacred that modelo poured into the marinade that makes your tailgate dish legendary, that modelo, Tallboy that pairs perfectly with your lucky jersey, and that ice-cold modelo held high as you belt out the fight song, you know entirely by heart.
It's not just game day tradition and those who keep it alive deserve a Maudello Maudello the official beer sponsor of the college football playoff drink Responsibly beer imported by Crown import Chicago Illinois stock up now. What do you want to talk about Brandon? Do you know your fights aren't about heart? Oh Boy I know the the tones of my fights on I think Ohio State has like two Do you yeah, you have words to your fights on it's always like drive drive on down It's always like fight fight down the field or yeah get pass that goal drive drive on down the van Man of the Scarlet and Gray. Oh, wow don't let them through that line We have to win this game today. Do you wish we had lived I think that's right. I think I nailed that Do you wish we had lived in the era where they named and wrote everything? Yeah, like in the 50 in the 20s and 30s everything they wrote down just became what it is today dude No depth to do how stay fight song at all none so simple I've got one guy flew around the whole country just just writing all the fights on yeah, they're all the same Win the game win the game today boys that line is literally in our in our fights on fights on it ends with win that game today
Hey Taylor. Hey. Oh, yeah, Taylor McGregor's here Wait, I have something to add to this about the fight song and this is completely random sure there's a town in Colorado called no name and And the story behind the town no name is that back in the day You know before technology there was a guy who was in charge of maps and they were going to the different towns and asking the people living in the town. What's the what's the name of your town and then you'd write it down and keep going Well, apparently as the legend goes he went to no name sure and the people said we don't have a name So he wrote down no name literally wrote no name and then by the end of his journey He got sick and died so on the map No name and they just 117 people living no name I'll be damn. Oh, that's way out there, huh. Yeah, no name Colorado
That's on the other side of the mountains looks so it's right out Like a Glenwood as you can see yeah, he's to go in wood. Yeah, so there are there are Is that Garfield County Taylor? I don't know the county. Oh, yeah, yeah, it is. I believe it's an unincorporated community. Oh, that's right Yeah, no name Colorado see the more you know No name Colorado. You said something interesting there. I would like to explore a little bit. Okay, you said before technology When did we invent technology? Like in the in the 1700s was like uh was like uh it Or telegraph was it was technology in the 1800s right? When did technology start? When did we start saying the word technology? I think 83 1983 83 now that's right. I feel like technology. I think in the 50s they saw computers coming down the road. So I think so Well technology started 3.3 million years ago. Wow Ha ha ha They created stone tools stone tools were yeah, that was technology. So there was 3.2 million years ago There was a salesman going around telling everybody about the latest technology. That's right. Yeah, this it was this stone hammer saw
This this sharp thing. That's right Mark ask me again, Brandon. What would you like to talk about Taylor? We're gonna get to you in a second because You you're doing the Cub stuff You were you were a power outage game. I was how exciting was that? Um, but but the She's the best in the business room Boy, oh boy. Okay um The NFL started last uh-huh And for 45 minutes I felt like they've done it again somehow some way After a year where they had the easiest schedule and played every backup quarterback in the league. Yep The Patriots pressed the backup quarterback button again and five five plays into the game Five plays into the game and they got to beat instead of San Donald they got to beat Drew Locks of start their season. They were gonna start one and out But then I forgot hey Maybe Drake may sucks And Drake may through three fourth quarter interceptions and Drake may uh lose this game and not only three interceptions three
Baffling each one worse than the one before the last one. Yeah one of the worst you'll ever see yeah um, it was an ugly Stupid 1310 game between two teams playing and week one with already with injury concerns AJ Brown goes out Yeah, you know Drew Lock in um But just a remarkably satisfying way for the Patriots your Patriotsator if you're someone who thinks that Drake may Is not that good and he was he just benefited from an easy schedule last you got everything you want. Oh, that must have been Christmas Yeah, you got everything. I've been so nice Um, I think I do think he's better than he showed last night. I think he's not gonna throw 50 He's on pace for 51 interceptions. Well McDonald's just a hell of a coach. Yeah, and he had him in hell. Yeah He especially had him in hell in the in the fourth quarter. It was like Um every time he dropped back What he thought he was seeing wasn't what he was seeing See ghosts and as soon as he would throw it Band there's there's oh there's a defender there. Yeah, and uh he just kept doing it kept doing it kept doing it and then uh Drew Lock cannot tell you who else was on their game last night Chris Collins worth Yeah, Chris Collins worth was like uh right here. I'll they're gonna throw it to
JSA oh, oh, I see what you know that one he nailed and he nailed like three or four plays down the stretch of the game that was uh That was fantastic. It was good to have NFL football back or at least whatever reasonable facsimile of NFL football we got last night So you're not you're of the opinion it was bad football not defensive Because I did I I texted the group that that I forgot that that's uh that's a tradition and football That's the bad watch a low scoring game and half the people are like this is dog shit and the other half are like this is a defensive masterclass Well, we know the Seahawks are a great defensive team their top three defense in the league And I think what they did to drake main in the fourth quarter was probably more about their defense than it was about drake Maybe just awful um, but like Drew Lock and the the Seahawks offense knock it and go into a late in the fourth quarter or to the fourth quarter I think that was just sloppy football. Yeah, that's but um But yeah, that was a that was a huge I think that was a huge game Game there at the end of the Patriots start one and oh with a road win at Seattle Even if it's Drew Lock that's still a huge start to their season and the Seahawks now might be chasing the Rams all year
If they were to start oh and one and they don't know when they're getting Donald back, so right Pretty big swing there in a second half. We're an injury for Donald Right? Yeah, it kept going progressively up his leg it first. I think it was reward ankle Then then it got all the way to hip not to be a tough guy. Yeah, you stood on the couch You know, I didn't feel the thing when I saw the injury, but uh, I didn't look like it was much You know like the tackle happens and I was like that's a hip like what's going on here? I will say that hips Hips get tricky. Yeah, and hips won't look bad This happened to bow jackson when he got his career in the injury They don't look bad and then all of a sudden you hear he actually broke something in there that will never heal And we'll get worse the rest of his life the way hips are constructed. You don't have like the the bending the wrong way type injury sure So you don't have the it just takes one good wrenching and that hip is done forever. Oh man. I got bad hips You got bad hips. I got bad hips. Yeah, I don't know you had bad hips. You know, you got bad hips too, right? Yeah, but I've been pigeon posing What really? Yeah, I did five minutes of pigeon pose yesterday and I actually felt it unlock. Yeah, you almost your hips. Yeah
It was just that easy five minutes of pigeon. I think no, it's not easy at all. Show me some pigeon You want to see pigeon pose? Oh, yeah, were you pigeon pose with me? I'm not gonna I don't I you might need it more than I got great hips. I actually. I've never even heard of pigeon pose I said to look it up. I'll look it up. I'll have top right now. All right. Yeah, I need you to All right Well, that's down. We're facing dog Okay, oh, oh, oh, oh, you sit down on it. Oh, I don't like that. Yeah. Oh, so you're you're just okay. There you go Yeah, yeah So look if you had a trainer you would let me go back and he press your hip forward. You're just doing it yourself Do the other side you'll be in balance. Yeah, you got to do the other side You'll have an imbalance the hips don't lie Yeah, and then you kind of swivel it there Yeah, and then you lean on up see There you go. All right, so now you're good. You think that you did that for five minutes You just sat there for five minutes. So I do I do one minute right one minute left one minute right one minute left And then are you taking me to earthy back? Yeah
Are you taking that jersey back? I took my tag out. I there you I get all mine like ten bucks Can I just tell you the truth about why I had my tag on my jersey? Why Stole it No, no, I just bought this jersey. I bought it last week So Damorino pit jersey And I I got it when I got it and I looked at it. I was like holy shit Did I have I bought that before? So this isn't a scenario where I have worn the same jersey for the second time. Yeah, but I am scared I have bought this and worn it on the show before I feel I feel like I've re-bought it Not re-worn it. Yeah, re-bought it. So I don't know if there's researchers in the most of the universe that can tell me I feel like I've had nobody gives a fuck That's just my that's my initial read on it hold on hold on I have to believe not to disagree That's let me know but I sure My and my read on the on the situations. So you're saying
People don't give a damn what I wear on a Thursday. I don't think so but at the same time at the same time they do care I don't think anyone would have noticed If I hadn't brought it up if you didn't bring it up, but I but I can I say something Brandon? Yes So we just had a show meeting important business being for the show I was sitting behind you and I have something to tell you the blues on the batch on the back do not match at all The blues on the back do not match even the slightest. Let me see it. They're completely different. He was a blue. It is bad Now Ebo I'd like to point out that Brandon faces the camera his back is tucked away in that corner And we could have gone the whole show without exposing Yeah, yeah, and that could have just been a secret that you kept To yourself. Yeah, so I died. Yeah, and yet you would like to point out that Taylor you'd be the arbiter here. Oh wow. Yeah. Oh Blues are not
I think those for the damn Reno Dodger check out check out damn marino when he played a pit maybe they're Maybe they're the most in magic jerseys maybe pit didn't have matching blues is anybody I have thought of that It was a throwback to the only had like three blues back in 1982 How many blues were there in 1982 there's no four technology Pre let's see I don't know there was there was dark blue there's blue dark blue and light blue. I think right. I actually think you're right I think there's dark blue light blue and blue. Yeah Uh You know, it's it's looking like that's really the only option I'm gonna picture in it. I know. Didn't marino have a have a good college career. I imagine so yeah He's a good ball player, but did he like uh he was uh was accolades. Did he do anything Particularly noteworthy is there would he have moments he was very very good I think they either claim an national title or got very good national title I think maybe they lost it to Georgia Um, but but they were very Do you ever hit the Heisman pose oh wow
That's the one, but that's when you bought that's the one I bought. Yeah from Mitchell Mitchell and S uh Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what to tell you guys. I got me a damn marino pit jersey and that's that's what I'm wearing um I don't know. He was uh he was a polarizing prospect coming out really because people thought he was uh Yeah off the field issues Is that like what you mean by that like I they had I believe he they thought he had off the field issues allegations were like yeah Could have been drug use could have been anything could have been anything could have but could have been anything. I see I see I got drug use, but it could have been anything could have been anything could have been A bad elbow Taylor. How do you feel about dude sitting the Heisman pose week one malice I Tony did it three times You're guy did it Jeremiah Smith did it. Mario Taylor did it um well here's We're we're singing on the field with the poses. I find it a little bit more absurd these Heisman campaigns Okay, yeah, we're running so I had Kevin Jennings week one and SMU gave us a full-on box of
King of Dallas. Uh-huh, which For SMU I I will defend them in a little bit because nobody gives them any love right like Kevin Jennings could be three times better than some Quarterback at Ohio State L.S. You wanted the bigger programs and he's not gonna get near the amount of that's just the nature of the way that it is But like Dante Moore I have Oregon this weekend and he has a full website This is why Dante Moore should win the Heisman and it that to me is like okay. Whoa. All right. We're sending it So now is it like a marketing award like a Precise in Heisman campaigns being the silly part of it. It's correct Oh, 100% it doesn't matter what you did last year. It's about this year You're boxing yourself in because what if you have a breakout wide receiver? What if SMU has like a what have SMU's running back is like What is Miami gonna do? Oh miss so oh miss is doing have you seen Ole Miss Ole Miss has a dual campaign for their two guys They have Kiwan Lacey the running back and turn it at Chambas and if you have two Heisman candidates you don't have one Well, that's like Miami. Yeah, they have two really good players and Darian Menta and Malachi Tony
But what are you gonna do in that situation? Who are you pushing more? It's a good question. Could you do three? Can a team out there our Heisman trio? Yeah, do the whole team. Yeah I always should do the whole team. I always should be like for your consideration our entire team But if you think about it is very very arrogant our entire team the person we're putting Forward for the best player in the entire country Might not even our three guys right here. Yeah Might not even be the best player on his own team He's the best player in the game But the Ole Miss one like they took over the spear and it had both the spear not the spear It had both Trinidad Chambas and Kiwan Lacey. Yeah, what if Trinidad Chambas has a way better year But you spent half the year Candidating Candidating yeah campaigning for the other guy. It's a great question. That'd be silly Um the lights went out the other night Taylor They did Ken confirm how How much did that suck
Well Listen, I don't wish that upon anyone but to be honest did you cuss behind the scenes? No, I was like This is kind of Interesting and it was in a way Fun for me because I got a deliver really important information Um, now I don't wish that on anyone and then you know I had a 5am wake up call the next morning So that two-hour delay ate into my sleeping time, but um No, it was uh it was it was wild. I think what was the craziest thing was I was in these meetings and everybody was like What the heck are we gonna do? Yeah, and so you're seeing these big-time decision-makers And they're like What's what's gonna happen and that was what was wild? Yeah, you like to think that people have contingencies in place and they're like the like the the decision makers will figure it out But it as it turns out they're just kind of flying by the sea their pants too. Yeah. Yeah I our group chat was on fire with a lot of questions and I tried to answer them all right, but here here were the questions
If the power is out of the stadium How are ESPN's how ESPN's broadcast working? And I said ESPN travels with backup power In case power goes out. Yes. It was a separate line Then they asked how was the jumbo tron working And I didn't have an answer for that one to fair so so also Was that run-up backup power? Well, they were separate so like The there was the east and west tower. So the issue I believe was in the west tower. It was the tower that our Booth was in okay. The lights came on in the other tower. So there were different lines. Sure I do know that so I believe the How the the screen was even on was because of another line now the operator was in the press box side the tower So that was my understanding is there's just different power lines um I've had to like Google and learn this stuff so I could be wrong a little bit, but um Knowing it'll never happen in your career. Yeah. Yeah, I was like I never really knew the difference between a transformer and
um a generator Like I kind of was like I thought they were kind of the same thing But you this could be your specialty like if even if you're not on assignment like they'll just like call you and have you Yeah, but like the rules that could hire you're like an electrician. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're just we just have electric problem Get Taylor to tell us what's going on exactly Oh, yeah, you have rules of rules rules and rules analyst of course The power is out here and uh Lincoln as uh, we're ready to learn a brass gun Minnesota We're gonna bring in Taylor McGregor Taylor. Where can you tell us about um why? But what the heck was going on? Yeah, we'll bring in Taylor McGregor. She's in Charleston, South Carolina Taylor Yeah, what uh, so was it was it fun? Was it like concerning? What is what is the mood? Well, all this is going. I This is goofy. So what are the best parts about college football the atmospheres, right? And Florida state has obviously not been good the last two years. So their atmospheres have really taken a hit I will give a shout out to the students and give them credit where credits do stuck with it, huh?
They stuck with it and that place was bumping so I thought that was Fun in and of itself. It's like you know when you you relate to people through your pain sometime It was like everybody was just in it together like all right We're either gonna not have fun and leave or we're gonna decide to hang in here and have fun And they all decided to hang in and have fun. So that was cool For me obviously I was just trying to get as much information as possible and Because I am a reporter by nature. I actually thought it was kind of entertaining and fun to be able to be in those meetings and like deliver real-time Information. Yeah, so it was a night. I'll never forget Yeah, I mean you're the talk of the game really, right? I mean Yeah, yeah, everybody's like Taylor for Gregor did a hell of a job masterclass. Well, thank you. I appreciate that you guys Conner you you have thoughts on uh, you're the you're the women in sports media expert. Yeah, that's true So I'm just rooming in sports meat on how Taylor handled everything well Yeah, Hannah mirrors might be swinging by later too. No, it was perfect It was a lot of people trying to finish the role of a sideline reporter and that's exactly why you have a sideline report
Yeah, that's right to do. Oh, okay. Yeah, but why he's never tried to do that. I'm trying to yeah I think we could go back No, I think that there's a lot of necessities for for having a sideline reporter there roaming the field getting the answers Ask the questions. Obviously that was an extreme example and that doesn't happen all the time But when it does happen absolutely, you know, it's necessary to have somebody down there to do the proper report Taylor more important question Thank you Connor of course. Oh, God. Okay. Do you have to do that? Arkansas who pick yeah Um, if you were in college when you were in college and you were a part of the national association of women broadcasters I was the president. Uh, you are Okay, yeah, were there any were there any young men that joined the chapter? No, there weren't okay If what if if if if a if a freshman if a freshman came in like Connor Griffin and joined the national association and women's broadcasters What do you say? Oh, that's cool. I would just say oh, he's just trying to do this to get women
No, I would say Connor. I really appreciate you recognizing What we're all about no you wouldn't I would and then I would say do you need me to help find you friends at the It was it wasn't me seeking out I getting no, I appreciate I was recruited.

Tell him tell my you tell my you left no you don't love it No, tell her why you left the organization now, okay Well, I started off. They were looking for more male members. They wanted to have allies in the club like You know it takes all of us whatever So we started off I joined there were maybe ten or twelve guys in the club my freshman year I stayed in it every single year, but year by year there were less and less men They kept dropping out or graduating whatever by the time it was senior year I was the only guy left in the club and We had a big group chat for the club and there was a girl in there who was like hey listen. I know Conner's in here But I kind of have a question about getting an IUD would you guys have any Way of helping me out and then I had that point. I was like I should probably hold this group back It's time for me to Exit well at least you know you had feel to yeah, I read the room Understood. Yeah, you're you're early in the year four years later. It was early in the year four years later You know what happened I he can make that story he was in it for four years He finally realized his senior year. Okay. I'm not gonna get a girl out of this

So Conner's our expert on women So yes, that's our are you guys saying you didn't join that club? I didn't join that club Yeah, I was I wasn't as good of a recruit as Conner was recruiting he didn't want to do it. He was just recruited. Yeah, they they pitched me on it. I was like I'm sold Was it an IL package for that? Did you ever was there ever in your any? Interdating within the club? No, see not really no That's what he wanted. Oh, okay. I did not want that. Oh, he was just being supportive I'm about my business man. He's a businessman and when that is my business and my craft

What were the guys they had to have a woman's one because that that's a tougher You know, they got it. They got a band together. You don't have to band together with anybody.

Good. You know what I love about it too, Brandon. No, what go ahead please I Love that this is an opportunity for Jeff Levy to cook with the quarterback agreed because this is what everybody talked about with Jeff Levy can develop a quarterback. All right now. Let's freaking go I do remember last year practice when Blake Shapen was still the QB1 don't say that name, but but But Levy was saying over here. This over here. Yeah, this is the guy and so I'm really excited to see
His talent, but also the way that Levy develops him. I'm really excited about that. He's 64230 throws the ball 95 yards With a flick of a thumb just yeah, it's impressive. He's legit. He's not just he's legit. Yeah, I like it Now I'm saying that he'll throw three interceptions. We'll lose this Saturday. Yeah, Minnesota But but he is he is legit. It's gonna be it's something every time I tweet about him post about him It's all about yeah, he's gonna transfer to Miami. Yeah, you think he's gonna be sick. He loves me. He loves me He's he's from like right down the road right? Yeah Yeah, Jeff got to get out fly your fly. You know, no, he doesn't need to fly you can fly you there's an airport right there You can fly from startful. Yeah, I've flown from start for many times the golden try isn't or the golden triangle is where port Yeah, as one gate. I use work there. I really yeah through bags and then I worked at the game So this is what I love about that place. So I did a 11 a.m. Local kick there last year So obviously after the game everybody tries to get out and go to the airport
So it's gonna be tight, you know, I don't remember the exact time. Let's say it was like a 330 flight. Yeah, so it was gonna be tough I Swear they held the airport because yeah, the airplane because I knew everybody was going for the football game It's like, ah, now we're gonna give him like 15 more minutes. They don't have to fly today Yeah, it was like they'll just be like they got one gate. You just walk in you just go right to it. Yeah, it's crazy That's awesome. I was a I was in northwest Arkansas. Well, how long ago was that? How did you like it? Oh? Well, I didn't dislike but it was like a we it wasn't what I expected I think it was like the Walmart influence. Did people recognize you there? I kept my head down. I was there on a mission. You guys are I mean now it's my turn to like gas you guys up No, people love you. Go ahead my brother. I'm not Quinn gas away. He's probably watching Is like your biggest fan they live in North. That's Arkansas. Yeah, and like I could be on the national championship game And they'd be like, that's cool But the minute I go on mostly sports. It's like excited whoa you've made it family
Thank you He was there he wasn't there to see Northwest Arkansas. He was there to pay respects to mr. Ed. I was there like Yeah, I felt like I was stealing the declaration of Like I just put my head down. I didn't want anybody to see me Um, yeah, I had to go dance on mr. Ed's grave and how do you say that town? To like what? To like what? Oh, Tilequo. I don't know the closest airport the closest airport was northwest Arkansas and I flew in there and I stayed Somewhere around there somewhere by the the airport and then I drove like an hour at Oklahoma But I remember when I had like breakfast in Arkansas and remember like Being a little confused as to what I was seeing because it was like that area's nice. It's nice Yeah, yeah, like a obvious Walmart influence. Yeah, is that what I was picking up? Yeah, obvious Walmart. So the thing with north-east Arkansas Is Walmart headquartered there right? Yeah, and when I was in college. So like 10 years ago They made everybody all their vendors Building office in north-east Arkansas. So it's kind of exploded in the last 10 years
So you see a lot of like you're like whoa, I feel this is like a little bit of We're in the middle nowhere and all of a sudden you're like wait There's like really nice buildings around like I'm kind of confused what's happening. It's like Vegas That's what it was yeah pretty much I was like I was like that's what you're in desert and then bam I'm in the sticks, but I'm also in a really nice spot. Yeah, I'm going on here And it was like really nice suburbs that have no city like there was no like real Yeah, I mean suburbs like that. Yeah, it's like really nice suburbs spring. They all you're like where's downtown? The downtown there is no downtown really, but yeah, no, I enjoyed my time my beautiful place. I was there. Yeah Um, should we talk about the cubs or no? Let's talk about the cubbies Brandon was talking about the cubs. I know what you're talking off the ledge or are you So no, I mean I have to go into the clubhouse after the Anybody's on the ledge I think it's me Uh Tuesday night's loss was rough especially because of Jacob Webb This is a guy who was in the trust tree all year long for Craig council
He had been the best piece out of the pen and lately that's up in the case and That stinks um and the problem with the cubs all year has been the home run ball They hit a lot of home runs, but they allow a lot of home runs. That's not good. Yeah So I think to me that's the most concerning part best defensive baseball Keep the ball in the yard let the guys let the guys The home run right so Jake Mangum tries he does he can't jump high. Yeah, it's PCI Yeah, PCI tried to log his uh um I saw the stat and you would know the step better than I would what like a percentage of games That the cubs have lost of their losses Brandon. Mm-hmm It's like damn near 50% of them were blown saves Like like the like the number of Games were lost by you're gonna blow a handful here and there yeah, like half your loss half of the losses are now your weakness Yeah, it's tough. It's a tough spot to be in it's a real tough spot to be in and of course Right now the cubs are in a playoff spot and you hope that continues and then you're like okay if they get into the postseason
What's this gonna look like yeah So uh, yeah, they got some real issues and and this is the roster like it's not changing the sick part of it all is because the Offensive so good and the defense is so good. I still talk myself into something happening. I still talk talk about you know Optically talk. Yeah, little I little I take a little I need some octagly on top. Did you drop? Optically in a broadcast last year? Well, no because we I don't do games in October But I I was aware and I think I tweeted it maybe okay, that's that's good So you have low we want to slow play octagly you have dropped hard of a horse before you have on the air remember you She's the that was crazy. Yeah, family hashike that was incredible. Um, you feel the best part the best part about that was like None of my co-workers knew nobody knows right and so I think I said hard of a horse and like nobody batted in I it was so natural like no one yeah, okay Yeah, but that's also by the way. I'll give you a little more inside baseball. I don't think I told this story so
When Justin Turner was at the cubs last year Every day He would give me a word that I had to oh really oh that's what I was like the most ridiculous shit She shed was one of them. She shed. Oh, okay. Yeah, so like these random words that I would have to drop into the broadcast She shed me you know she shed. Yeah, no she shed. She shed is like a man cave before a girl. Oh, oh, that's okay. That's right. Yeah. Yeah, I was overthinking it How do you get she shed in there? I I said something along the lines of like I'm just down here in my she shed in the middle Okay, fair enough that actually was probably pretty easy. That looks nice. She shed So these she sheds are pretty awesome to be honest if you can have she shed in the yard. Yeah, huh? I got a man cave. It's called my house at what point at what point does a couple that wants like a man cave And what points are like maybe you guys just not be together What point are you like you need that much time far? I want to have my space over here. I'm gonna have my own bedroom
I think it's more about I think it's more about time away or or I think it's more about getting away from the kids and that's true And all the point and all the the pop patrols and all that is it then it is getting away from your wife. That's fair Because you you as a man would build your wife a she shed. Yeah, so that she can have a place she goes by herself But you what she wouldn't build a she shed to get away from you. Yeah, right. I'm sure there are women out there that do it But like a man. It's the time of the men are like yeah, you need your own Kids go to the yeah, go to the she shed she she shed She shed it does she sells sells It's a tongue twister she sheds she yeah she oh All right, uh what paramount plus one massive week the biggest sports all on paramount plus champions league soccer takes over during the week before a loaded weekend featuring college football UFC Zuffa Zuffa boxing an NFL on CBS first is match day one of the u afa 2026 27 league phase the biggest stars in the world

Would you rather sit in those things summertime and summertime shy? Did you see summertime shy this year? Let's put a roof on it. Yeah, well Taylor By the way, I was there so much rain here this summer Taylor. You won't you won't know why why it's Connor I know nothing to do with it. You jinxed the summer. I did not you jinxed the summer. I did did I know I will say I did think this was gonna be the best summer of my life I thought the everything predict that going in. I did say at a one point on the show I was like I think the the the pieces are being put into place that it will be the best summer of my life Just everything that was building it up. I felt like we had some momentum What does that mean? No, I can sense it. I sensed like 2020 2024 is my second favorite summer of all time and I can sense going You know what I think happened. It's gonna be a good one. You know what I think happened that song what's PC's walk-up song? Oh, and when I'm back in Chicago that one by the Joe I think I think that song came out You heard it a couple times you caught a vibe and you're like oh my god. It's all falling into place. It really is a vibe I think I think that's a good one right? I think that's what happened to you
He built in a test when we drove back from the final four last year. He was in the car with me And as soon as we saw the Chicago skyline on the the way back home. I did throw that song He played no music the whole car. Yeah No, I thought I love Chicago summer It's it's my one of my favorite things in the world and yeah, it was it was but the past couple days have been awesome Or at least this weekend was was good he plays in a volleyball league or exclusively against women With his uh the women's no, yeah, it's co-ed league But he always plays against just women um and he he lost Yeah, we were there are a lot of really good female volleyball players that's not in this league No, not in this league Brandon Brandon So I my main league is the the Thursday league that you guys know of where we always fall short in the playoffs But I played in two games last night and my body is worn down and we got warped I what a total of you started that sentence. I thought you were trying to say something good about yourself No, no, no, we got swept in each game. Oh three and it's playing men. Yes. Yeah. Okay. I mean both. It's go ahead
Speaking of volleyball and we have Rigley field reported Taylor MacGregor who have just reported look at this segway it reported on a On a mishap at a sporting event. Did you see the the Nebraska of volleyball situation Nebraska versus who are they playing Connor Missouri It was Nebraska Missouri at rigley Penn State can tell you were playing at rigley they were playing at rigley There was condensation on the floor with humidity The humidity and they they were slipping and they had to basically cancel it Yeah, and one thing we didn't talk about that I would like to revisit Were you aware that they started doing like karaoke? They started no The because they couldn't play volleyball in the back. Yeah Yeah, they started doing like the team started doing dance battles in karaoke and and the the question. I would like to post to the room Are they doing too much? Is that doing too much? I think that's they gave the right amount. I was torn on it. I was like this is a fun goofy antics is what you want sure also like it just kind of went on forever So the fun goofy antics you believe should supplement the volleyball it shouldn't replace. I don't know well
I mean like in a in a rain delay to baseball game. You know guys, especially the college level. They'll they'll do some And you know it's all part of it and then but then by the end of it part of me was like let's just can we just cut the broad like we got to get out of here They were screaming Kelly Clarkson songs together Can I say something that might be controversial your fan you work for the cup This isn't okay. Let me frame it right Having everything that isn't baseball it rigley is it sounds like a great idea got to stop it sounds like a great idea But like I went to the hockey game at rigley You can't see it can't see anything you can't see anything. I went to a house and then the volleyball at rigley like it's outside You can't play volleyball outside. I don't you play volleyball in sand outside But you can't play it on on hardwood. I had a great I was like 10 rows up on the 50-yard line for the Ohio State Northwestern game Carnell take called a touchdown in the ends of didn't see it in the corner of the ends of you couldn't see it The ball just disappears over the wall rickley's built for baseball baseball really good baseball status damn We got one of the best. Yeah, maybe the best yeah of all time But you throw any other sport in there because I got a shoe hornet in center field yeah, and then the home plate seats are
Rickley's also got low seats that why do they do that Taylor? Why is wrickley wouldn't it this start? Who do I what what do I blame like why why other Sporty events baseball was fine there like we had a good thing going where it was like you know what we'll do in really field as Baseball yeah, we'll just leave it at that I don't know I know they're like we should do it literally everything or wrickley as anybody been to a concert wrickley I have how was it sick was it good? I Love wrickley. I this is so like first world problems I was too close that I couldn't really actually hear so I think the best I know I think the best seats for A concert at wrickley you actually have to be in the seats. I think down in the pit. Yeah, it's The acoustics were not phenomenal. Yeah, so I learned my lesson and then I sat up for the back and had an amazing time It was great. I think the best seats in regular are the worst seats You like the you like the first row the upper deck. Yeah, I think the upper deck uh Oh, Rickley is is the best is the best you've ever done the bleachers. I've never done a bleach. You talk you talk about the bleachers
I've never done the bleachers ever done the bleachers. I've never done the bleachers. I would love to do it But I am crippled emotionally and anxiety-wise by General Emission first come first serve. Yeah, can't do it. I have to have I'm gonna say Conor Hill's safe seats for us. That's kind of part of the experience. I know but I love it It's just like you in when you go to the bathroom you might you either got it You got to make a decision like does one of us stay back and save the seat So it's really like that. Yeah, like take your seat. Yeah, the not like no one's like being mean about it Somebody will walk up somebody will walk somebody will be coming from the bathroom themselves And they're like oh there's an open spot And they'll just sit right there and that's where you were kind of sitting and you're just kind of that's part of the game Okay, remember before movies where you could pick your seats in movies and you yeah, oh, you know back in the day I would go I get to movies an hour early wait you don't get to pick your seats in movies anymore No, you know you do there was time where you didn't where you didn't it. It was just like first calm You show up to the window. I don't like to take us to twister please and then you go in and you find your seat Find a seat anywhere now you can pick seats G 13 and G 14. Oh wait
They're assigned Yeah, I haven't been to the movie theater in forever. I don't go to the movie theater I know so I'm like back in eighth grade where it was like, you know 12 eighth graders would go to the movies be scattered all around yeah They have a science seat and those were the better they have a science no they were I know what are you and if I go somewhere that I don't have an assigned parking spot or something I freak I Taylor I drive here at four o'clock in the morning just on nobody parks in my spot I am crippled by the thought I won't have a spot, but maybe this would be a breakthrough for you Maybe that's why you need to do the bleach your police. You get a taste of You want to bleach your day? I do want to do a bleach today. It's fun. Taylor. You're gonna be working. I know But we'll figure it out. I don't work every game Are you are you spoiled with like the access you get at sporting events to wear like if you go as like a civilian now You're kind of like these seats suck. I can't even on the field. This is this is awful. Okay I actually enjoy Sometimes not being so close because it's a different view like you were saying the best seats that Riggly are in the upper deck for me
It's a different view like when you're so if you're a fan and let's say every time you go you're in section 140 What some point 140 isn't as cool anymore? And then you go sit in 210 You're like all this is kind of cool. It's a different view and that's kind of how I feel like because all of my experience is You know right there. It's actually kind of fun to be a little Different perspective. Do you float the whole time or do you have one spot that you During baseball. I'm pretty much in the camera well sometimes I'll pop around Yeah, if I'm gonna go do something around the stadium, but for the most part I'm down there But they're all around. Yeah, you're just do you walk like 10 miles during a football game? Do you have any foul ball highlights? Of balls coming. Oh, yeah, can we pull my Instagram? Like is there one that yeah, you do have a real? This is crazy. I this story is wild so I We were Baltimore this year and Baltimore is Natoriously terrible for the visiting sideline reporter because where they put you
You're like right in the line of fire bad people and if you I don't know what it says about the people But the plot spot for the sideline reporter is not ideal. Yeah, and so anyways I had known that going in because I've been to Baltimore a couple times and then all of the players Saw how exposed I was and so Carson Kelly kind of jokingly was like hey Here's my mask. So then I put on the mask and we're having all this fun on TV That's the real that I have on my Instagram. Okay, here it is So this and I'm basically just being like talking about the Rated and hitter gets up here and pulls a baseball. Yeah, I could be cooked. So You have to be prepared as it always been this way down there. Yes. This one's one of the worst In the league Notice is right here. Yeah, yeah So Carson Kelly was kind enough to notice that I'm a little the odds of the ball down there Okay, so then the part that we don't have on camera
I am like having fun. Ha ha ha like Whatever I take the mask off Two pitches later the ball comes right here and I'm not kidding It would have killed me. Oh my god. It was it was insane. I didn't see what's fun as I thought you So either I thought I know I thought we're gonna video We're in the mask and it would have would have yeah, I know I kind of I was kind of hoping like he's just like in the mask Yeah, that would have been that would have been entertaining I think the crazy part was like we were kind of making fun of it in a way like this is this crazy. Did you think about like bare hand catching it? No, I didn't know okay, but I have I have attempted to catch ball savered Cisco's also really bad where they have you um like You sit right in front of this like aluminum door and it's dead after then after dent because all the baseball side button So yeah, I've had some scary situation. Yeah, it's got to suck you like sitting down and you see all these dance by Yeah, all right, I guess Guess I'm right in the line of fire sit right in front of that thing
I do think two sideline reporters have been hit this year in Baltimore I think Trisha would occur during one of the Apple TV games and then Melanie Newman is always getting like that Yeah, she got hidden in Boston and Kelsey Winger which she's now with rockies, but she's been hit with the braids. We're from a Melanie Newman. She Why should keep you in the head Which is just in the way I know How the way yeah, oh TJ can you can you search for a video of a sideline reporter catching a ball? I just want to see what like this standard if it happens I want to see what like the bar is like we just gonna bring up can we give Taylor something to aspire to yeah See what the like it's gonna bring up that heaven one for it. Oh, yeah, yeah, it's gonna bring now It's exactly it's gonna bring up. Yeah, I just want to know like what's the best out there? Is this something that maybe you know you could you could have the card of a horse you could have the Yeah, I don't know we'll find out, Brandon. What's the coolest catch you could make like a bearhound a bearhound drive would be very Hander while doing a reporter like yeah, I like bearhound
The ball just come I'm doing a report the ball just comes and I just like stick my hand out That being said if you were like doing a stand-up like you're standing on the grass and one comes by and you just you make a diving stop Yeah, that works too Yeah, well you also did this seventh. I didn't stretch. I didn't realize I just look at all the instrument. Yeah You mean you did the anthem Or they sing the we sing take me out to the ball game at Cubs game. I'm not the answer. They should get you guys up there Little sing the uh, they can get Mark. I'm not I'm a you're not a singer. I'm a burrous fan. Yeah Uh, yeah, Bob Euker sings the stretch it rigley. Did he yeah, yeah, but he's also you He's Bob you yeah, yeah, I mean Bob Euker's the man. Yeah, any word of letter to the purrs Ask them to win the postseason, right? By the way, did you see that manager the uh we've the the the the burrs manager? This is what I want to bring up earlier Pat Murphy Pat Murphy Uh, Pat Murphy is always doing something. He read the letter from Bob Euker last year A couple of weeks ago he benched a guy for not hustling out of the box. What's right? That's right
boba, but then the other night right before Louise Laura I believe went up to the plate. There's a clip of him like poking him in the chest. I believe in you Hey, I believe in you and then he goes up and he hits a walkoff really He's a very he so his background is in college coaching. Oh, that makes sense College coach Notre Dame Arizona State so he coaches Like a college coach. Yeah That actually does explain a lot. Yeah, he does seem have that college vibe to him. Yeah, whereas cred council has zero motion and zero Yeah, Craig's not exactly the raw raw guy. I felt you know how down bad I am as a coach fan was a I for which game What might be the first game of this series where uh? Yeah, the There was a the last out was to left field and the burrs made the diving catch I think it was the first game a couple to it all runs together. Uh, it's the last out of the game Yeah, because PCA hit a home run to cut the lead to one and the ninth inning Yes, that was during well, that was Monday during I wasn't you were doing that you're in the football Yeah, so PCA hits a home run and the ninth to cut it to one run
Yeah, it was a four to three I think and there's like a little bit of a maybe we have a like a rally going on Um, because I think I think Shaw like flew out to the warning track right before PCA. So you're like oh my god We're hitting the ball. Anyway long story short. It's a they make a diving catch and it's very obvious it was caught Yeah, and I'm screaming at the TV challenge it And Craig looks at it and he's like we're not gonna chat's game over and I'm screaming just challenge Just challenge what happens give me something And he's like it's and then they're showing the replay and it's like so obviously a catch yeah And I realized that I'm pretty desperate for some I know because I was just screaming like you never know Maybe they'll you know it worked for Michigan football maybe it'll work for us challenge Try it do something one second back at the clock damn you and he's like nah, it's it um and then I realized that maybe I need to maybe I need to relax a little do you find anything TJ sideline reporting for minutes oh I remember this one that's Heidi oh Yeah, saver
Okay That's a good one is there like a do you know all 30 other side those gonna say they're like not fraternity It's a sorority of you guys where you're all friends Yeah, so I would say more so in quicky Connor on the group chat You're welcome on the group chat Ryan spillboards at the Rockies is in it He's the only the only guy you can join Connor spell what he was a player right? Yeah, he was a player But he'll do the sideline thing occasionally Um But yeah, there's because in in the regional sports network landscape There are two broadcast teams there so there's always another report there. Yeah, that's what you don't obviously get in college Well, because there's only one broadcast team there Do you know where you're where do you know where you going every Saturday already? I won't find out until Sunday where I go next week where you going this week Uh still water organ Oklahoma state Yeah That one uh that one took a different turn Yeah, that lost a Tulsa was not yeah, but maybe maybe you know the biggest improvement is week one to week two

He's starting her senior year of high school She will start college next year and she wants to do what you do That's what she wants to get into that and um She doesn't have any choice. She has to go to mr. State. So obviously she can't go to Sarah Q's in Missouri or any of these other But anyway, she's going what would you tell her what she she do when she goes to college to make sure she she she gets
I would say do as much as you can in college. So she's fortunate because at mr. V State you have so many I'm the fucking man. You are the man And I will say that the SEC has done one thing well They've done a lot of things really right but the the SEC networks the most successful conference network by far. Yeah So what they've done really well as they've set up these really nice facilities on campuses And it creates great opportunity for students. So I would tell her to get involved You can give her my number if you want me help her But I would just say getting involved doing as much as she can with that and then internships are great Just trying to meet as many people as humanly possible. Yeah, that's what I told her So she's already willing to call like the games that no one else would want to yeah like Everybody everybody gets into the business wanted to do the superbowl, you know, but you got to be willing to do the Yeah, you got to do it all and then I you just never know how you're going to meet somebody um Like I mean the stories I have of how I met certain people was like running a camera at a woman's soccer game, you know

She said I want to be a side-mine reporter I was like, okay, well, I don't know how to get you into that at all, but well, I'll help her out. Yeah That is cool that as you see I think it kind of big ten-ever does that as well like a yeah Maybe not to the SCC, but like yeah, um But the idea that I feel like 20 30 years ago. Maybe that wasn't quite as what a thing no It's either either the game is on TV or it's not on TV But now everything's on TV though. They'll put everything and give everybody an opportunity to just means more Hashtag blessed. Yeah, it does. It just means more Yeah, I still don't know what the more is that it means, but it just means more Just means more it means more games on TV. Yeah, yeah, it means more opportunity More opportunity for for my daughter. I have a segment. I'd like to debut. Oh boy. Uh, well big day. Is this silly fun or is this stupid
Okay, silly fun being one term sure is it silly fun? Is it silly fun or is it stupid or is it stupid? I can ask that question about this show most. Yeah, yeah, yeah, do she drape green laws? Quote down there 49ers football player you're familiar there in Australia. He's in Australia. He uh, he had a quote about in article Okay, no, what did he say and TJ if you could pull up a Quote saw DK Metcalf believes our cities under in our there are cities under in I believe that's what DK Metcalf I saw the one in grab somebody or a fast. I saw this quote as I gotta go I gotta go to work out class You Wow, we're both gonna make an excellent. Sorry. She's okay. All right. All right. Thank you. See you. All right. All right. All right. Family. Yeah, how's your family? Let me know what your daughter needs a whole bro. What are they doing? I don't know. I don't like that. Yeah, it seems I was coordinated. That was coordinated. Is this a women in sports broadcast? All right, Taylor. Thank you. Are we only allowed one side line reporter time?
Got one side line reporter time. Okay. All right. All right. All right. Thank you. Bye. Taylor McGregor also maybe just say family on that broadcast. Family hard to force. Okay. Let's what what was happening? I don't know. Conner going to Conner do this. I think Conner does. Conner going to a plotter or something? Conner, you had her workout. You go on. You guys go on the workout. Taylor's been whispering that she's got to go for like 15 minutes. Is that her phone? She's been trying to get out. Oh, I don't know. Is that her phone? That's a laptop. That's a laptop and headphones. That's what you're looking at. There's a phone. Oh, no. Did you lose your phone? All right. Get your phone. Taylor. What the Conner do? It's a whip. Oh, it's a whip. Oh, it's a whip. Oh, my God. What are you going to play silly funny? I don't know. I kind of wanted to play with. I'm going to do the murder. All right. What we got? All right. Here's the quote. I mean, it's just interesting being in another country. Like I mean, how far are we from Antarctica? That's what I got to ask. Yeah. So like, I mean, we're like right on top of it.
Like does it? It's snow. It's snow pretty, pretty bad here. Not that bad. So it's in Antarctica. Is it a lot? That was the code in Antarctica. Yeah, I've been there before. Never been there. So how you know if it's code or not? I like his tone. Yeah. I think that's really fun. I didn't see the clip. I saw the quote card. But now I see the clip. It's silly fun. It was silly fun. That was a perfect tone to talk about. Yeah. I saw that. So in Antarctica, is it a lie? Is it a lot? What does that even mean? One of the better looking hoodies. Yeah. So there you go. So we're switching outside. I don't know. I don't know what's going on. I don't like that. They both got up at the same time. I don't like. I don't like. It's going to work out class. Yeah. I know. Wait, is white got Nancy starting? I know. Huh. Probably Pilates. You'd have to imagine. What do you think, Evo? We do, we do the white work. I think like one of those like melt yoga classes.
Or like, like, like, hot yoga. That's like the one that's really big with the white women where it's like you get like some light weights. You're doing yoga poses with like like, like, we sculpt. Yeah, sculpt. I'm going to ask about a place. Yeah. You guys my there's a place up in Gernie. I go to my favorite sushi place. Hi, I'll see delicious. Um, there's a place right beside it. And every time I pull in the parking lot, I'm like, God, damn, if there's too many people to sushi place, I go in, nobody's in there because they're all of this workout. Okay. It's called hot works. Never heard of it. I don't know. Hot works. Here's the thing about the the gym boutique type. There's a bunch of them. There's a million different franchises that do different specialties. There's like F 45. Where is there? Yeah, berries. Yeah. And it's all like kind of a fluid white women taking boutique workout classes, but they're all it's it's all different. Yeah. That's what it's hot works. All right. And that's that's right beside my. Yeah, that's that's that's that's. Hey, what's the people being there? Whatever gets people moving. Yeah, whatever it takes. Yeah, I don't
I don't like the I don't like the group classes as much, but I don't know how you feel. And we're switching out. Here we go. It's Hannah. Hannah Mears. I'm on it. Hannah. All right. I'm in. I don't know. I don't know. Worthy. I follow up. Taylor McGregor. Yeah. Why goodness? You didn't tell me that. I'm a reporter day. I was so excited to get to see her when I walked in because she's not going to be here when we play the Cubs this weekend. So if that's the most of her, I get to see in a Yeah. Perfect. At least. You know her. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All of like the sideline reporters in Major League Baseball have a really good relationship, which is super cool. So yeah, she's awesome. She's class act and put on a absolute master class this week. My goodness. But there's a relationship we need to ask you about because I was at the White Sox Pirates game the other night. You were down there doing your your your stand up. I don't know what you'll call them. Or you were doing a pretty game. Yep. First of all, a lot of dogs. So many dogs. You were I have been a part of more dog parades than you would ever imagine because those happened at a lot of
ball parks, but this one was like there was a lot of dogs. So I mentioned I mentioned that it was dog at bark at the park. Yeah. So she's on the field doing her pregame. They did a parade. 1100 dogs all the way around. They started in center field came around went back to center field on the field on the field. Every owner got to bring their dog on the field. Now now it's interesting with her because she was sitting in a chair and the dogs. The dogs don't know. She's every dog would stop at her chair, sniff her chair and like P 100 like every single dog was stopping at her. And it was every single one. It was it's she's doing her job. And just that there would be a Saint Bernard right here. There would be a you know, a corgi at her feet. I imagine like the first two or three are like this is cute. The dog number 412. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, okay. How am I going to get through this with all these dogs wanting to be on camera. But at the end of the day, I also am a dog lover. So I'm like, Hey, if I get to be at a baseball game today for work and there's dogs, right? Kind of the perfect medium. But I know you were kind of like over it by probably halfway through the game. It sounded like I was. Yeah. I was well, we walked out to center field. I I'd always wanted to know what center field seats were like our first row of the outfield. I never sat
there. Yeah. So we bought our main seats were behind the dugout. And our secondary seats were in the out. So we went to the outfield. That's where all the dogs were. And it was a lot of it was so much. It was so much. It was like. It was like the cowbells in this to be state. What you felt like. So it's that what I was like. I'm just trying to find like a I've never never been in a game. What a cowbells are a time on or tradition to go back a hundred years celebrating our our past and our future. So I don't know really how dogs really dogs only around for a really long time. Dogs were in 1955 dogs are the dogs might have come before the cowbell. I don't think dogs came before it was their first dog's or cowbells. Also branded the Camario Taylor pass that you were talking about and everything. I watched it and I made the mistake of turning on the sound as cool of a throw as that is it immediately just gets completely washed away by the. Yeah. Oh, I hate it. Hate it. Hate it. It's awful. So anyway, after you get done with your live hit, you go away and I'm like, okay, well, I did. And then and then all of a sudden your head pops up. Super creepy, by the way.
Yeah, you're a super creepy. Your head pops up out of the dugout. And I'm like, oh, hey, what's up? I mean, where's my hey, how you doing? And and then and then you say you say I love Conner Griffin. You say Conner Griffin. That's my guy. And I said, you're talking about the baseball player pirates. Yeah, you're talking about the baseball player that's right over there. You said, no, the Penn State. I went to Penn State with Conner Griffin. And so he was he was part of, of course, the association of women's broadcasters at Penn State. Your thoughts about that. So I should for women in sports media, you keep butchering the name. It's called you can just say awesome. Correct. What is called? It's called awesome. So Conner Griffin joined awesome. He joined awesome. I assume you were an awesome. So it's funny because I was never actually officially a member. But you showed up. No way. They female broadcaster. The actual woman. It's not a member. I feel like I eventually was. And I did. I have gone back and I've spoken a lot. I know all the people in there. They were wonderful. But I went into college thinking I was going to be a doctor.
All these types of things like different stuff. So I just wasn't as privy to all of the clubs. You could be a part of it. First, and then I started finding out about stuff. The professor who is ahead of awesome, though. Conner's defense is a man. And he is awesome. He's so supportive of women. And he brings in like the best people to talk to everybody. And so supportive. And they did try to encourage more men to be a part of it to just showcase their support for females in the industry. And also give them great networking opportunities. He was just the only one smart enough to take advantage of it. Yeah. Look where we are now. How did you take it? He is. Yeah. Look where he is. What would you think of Conner Griffin in college? These couple of years younger than you? Yeah. Right. Okay. He reached out to me his freshman year when he got to campus and said that he wanted to work it. I was basically his. He was trying to use me as a plug to get into athletic department. No. I 100% but that's okay. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, it helped obviously. But at the same time, PJ Mullen, TJ. Why did you? Why did you?
I'm not for never because that's the reach out for somebody. Why? If not for networking, why would you reach out there? Yeah, it was it was the network obviously. But at the same time, why is that no dealer job or anything like that? I don't think she said that you. Okay. Good job. I think he was he was. So what we had built at Penn State essentially was something that other campuses hadn't done. We had student reporters getting to do things. And I was one of the test dummies that felt like essentially to start that program. And so it was pretty known among students on campus. Hey, this is she gets to be on the sidelines of Beaver Stadium every Saturday. Yeah. As like a freshman in sophomore and college like this is pretty cool. And so he as well as a lot of people that would come to campus. I'd get a lot of those messages of, hey, how can we do it? You do one day? What are the proper steps to take? We want to do it. It was very polite, very professional. And ever since then, it felt like I got to kind of mentor him along the way. And eventually work with him and see him grow. And I know you guys want me to see sit here and say all the funny things about him. But I actually really never like a. Hey, I was thinking maybe Friday night. We never get the. Yeah.
Never never that. I never that. How many women in the club probably too scared to ever ask how many. I don't know about that. Yeah. How many women do you think he had on? He's an ally guys. I never. You make you like that. Can you imagine this though? If you think of like women in sports media, right? You just had like Taylor McGregor sitting in this chair, things like that. We're not like we're kind of an intimidating bunch to walk into. We're very much like I don't need you. I'm independent. I've got my thing going. Right. God bless any man who walks in that room and thinks you're just going to be like, let me take you on a date Friday night. You'd be like, well, let me tell you. Yeah, let me. Buddy, I will actually be at the basketball game on Friday night doing my own job reporting that you wish you. Yeah. So honestly, I don't know if anybody would have. Well, that's what Conor said out of respect. He went on zero dates and four years. No. Zero dates within the associates for women in sports media. Yes. There were dates outside. No, no, no, that she meant to you. Over at Chams. It was a different thing. Exactly. Hannah gets it. Conor joining awesome to to knock at dates, put the steel their jobs.
And that's why I said what I said earlier about stealing jobs because they were absolutely going to turn it into that. What? That whole angle. What do you talk? We've had one angle on this. Yeah. One angle is you got it. But if one, what's a pretty women over here, is that I'm going to join that group. But if one angle gets shut down, which Hannah just shut down that one angle, there's another angle that opens up and you guys go down that route. We're regardless of whatever the case is. Let me just say something. It's not to paint me in a bad light here. Hannah shut that shut down that angle from her perspective. Right. From her. And to be honest, she wasn't even in the club. She said. I had been saying the past couple of days. I was like, I think she was in the club. But like you showed up to some of the the networking situations and the guest speakers and stuff. I didn't actually know you had to like pay to be in that. I paid poor to like afford it. I saved every penny for like, you know, you mentioned something interesting. You said you didn't that's not what you were going to do when you got college. You were going to be a doctor. I was going to be a doctor. So what made you flip and get into sports broadcast? It never felt right. If that makes sense, I was going to go, you know, be a nurse or play soccer
somewhere or do something. But then I went to a Penn State football game. And of my senior, well, it would have been my senior year of college. My cousin and uncle were like, your personality before you commit to a college, just go see a Penn State football game. Am I doing my dad grew up wrestling at Lock Haven at the time Penn State and Lock Haven were like rivals. They're obviously not anymore. But at that time, so my family hated Penn State, hated everything to do with Penn State. My mom went to pit everything. So this was very controversial for me to go to a game. I went to the tailgate. I didn't even make it into be your stadium. I came home that night, put an application into the school and was like, I need to go here. I don't know what it is about it. And then that summer going into my freshman year, I shadowed ESPN when they came to I'm from Latro, Pennsylvania. So where the Steelers do all their training camp. And so they came Friday night lights at our high school, do a practice. I got to shadow all of like the ESPN crew there. And I walked away from that being like, I don't know how I get into this. But like, this is what my calling is. This is what I need to do. And then that's what I, that's what I did at Penn State. Yeah, it was awesome. It seems way more fun to be.
That's like the very abbreviated version of it. But it was either like, oh, let's go be a doctor and save lives. Or let's just talk about sports. So I've been, I've been working on a theory that either Penn State doesn't actually exist or Connor never went there. Because every single time he's there and he, he phones into the show or he facetimes in, we'll say, hey, Connor, say we are. And he'll turn and he'll say, we are. Nobody says anything. Right. Nobody ever says anything. He never gets any reply back. So either he didn't go there or Penn State's not actually a real place. Which one is it? Um, but he went to whatever place you think it is. Okay. All right. All right. Whoa. What was it? What was it the other day where he was there? The theory. I like this being conspiracy theory. Is that make us aliens? He had to ask. He had to ask the guy what his name was. Oh, yeah. Yeah. What's his like? What's your name? Yeah. Jordan. Jordan. Jordan. I'm gonna say we are. You say Penn State. Nice thing. We are. Well, no, because you yell out Penn State like yell it really low. He was a fan of the show and he came up as I was waiting in the waiting room and he started talking to me and I had to explain like, hey, I got to do a VR champ. Oh, you tried to do the Nathan Field or tweets us to where you're like, dude,
there I swear like right over there. There's a bunch of Penn State fans. I'm just not gonna interrupt him right now. But I said right there. I said right. I just stop. I was on the phone. Okay. And it's a wide open field with like not a whole lot of people there at that time. Yeah. Well, what time was it? Was this a bunch of like hungover kids on like the lawn just being like, please don't say we are. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, we're doing the show. So it was like 11 o'clock on the fronting. Yeah. Yeah. You always respond when you're in an airport. So like, you know, I think it is one of those things where it's like, okay, I mean, if someone will walk by and I had it, it's usually a casual like, hey, we are like in the like, oh, you're up in state or something or just if you say we are, they're like, heck yeah, like you went to Penn State too. It's not a whole like, all right, everybody stop and like, you have a chance. So I went to Ohio State and I'll get OHS and I have a weird tick where I can't just say I owe. I'll say I owe. I'll say I owe, but I'll like almost always like give a thumbs up as I do it. Yeah. I'm always like, I owe or like, and I can't just simply just go I owe and they keep it moving. I
don't know why. I feel like I got to do something else. So make it like a stick instead of a like, I owe. Yeah, I'm always like doing something that I walk away and I'm like, why did I kind of like, I gave him like a, I mean, imagine every time someone saw you on the street, he was like, oh, ring the cowbell and you're out of your pocket. You're like, yeah, like that would be amazing. Yeah. I'm actually jealous that you guys have those things because we try, I guess about 20 years ago, we started doing hail state. Yeah. But it never, it kind of caught with the fan base, but it hasn't caught with everybody. I've been in airports before wearing a Mississippi state bag. I see a guy in the state logo. I go up and I'm like, hail state and he just looks at me. What are you supposed to see back? Hail state as well. Hell state. Yeah. Hell state as well. Hell state. Hell state. But it, you know, it's, it's, that's the name of our fights on hail state. But why don't you stop? Do you just keep going back and forth? Yeah. Hell state. Hell state. Hell state. Yeah. We have the entire conversation. It's like I am Groot, you know, everything you say is hail state, but they, they can interpret it however they want. Hey, I meant to bring this up. Not too long ago, I was walking on the street around my house and a guy hit me with a family, but it was the most
like hail hydra family thing I'd ever experienced. What is that? I'm, I'm walking. It's just, the two of us on the sidewalk, he does not break stride. I don't break. He doesn't make eye contact. Like, he's probably like looking down. He's just family. He just keeps walking. I turn around. I don't know what happened. I was like, what the, he dropped it out of his pocket. Yeah. But it was like, he was, yeah, I don't know. It felt really cool. So shout out to that guy. Family. That was one of the coolest things I'd ever experienced. It was just like family. He just kind of set it under his breath and I was like, oh my god. I had a moment there. Um, hey, can you read that word right off there? Family. Thank you very much. Yeah. Yeah.

Um we have something to do. Yeah we got built a parlay for tonight's game. So we're doing a little differently this this football season. All right. We're all going to bring some props for the Thursday night game. Joe we like and we're going to race the horses and the top four are going to go into the parlay. I got one. Can we do the under under 49 and a half? They're playing where they play in Brennan down under. Uh huh. Damn it. What do you think about that? Damn it. What do you think about that one? I had the over in my pocket. I was ready with it because I was like this is going to be the antithesis. Oh, but I guess they're playing down under. Give me Stafford to throw an
interception. Okay. I would like Stafford to throw an interception. And I don't know what that or his yeah. Let me see. What's the under 49 and a half? All right Connor. Kiddles play right? Probably I kind of like he's almost team. What about there was a big story of the whole thing he's going to be playing. I like his uh over receiving yards. Tiddle over. And then Ebo just throw some throw two CMC props up there. I like touchdown score and five plus receptions. Okay. TJ what do you got? Hmm. All right. Okay. Well, we'll just hand if you just bear with us. We'll be right back to you. And I know we're just on the parlay here. I wish I would have come more prepared. Yeah well, I mean to ask you. Um, some I give a Rams anytime TD score. Blake Corm. Sure. Sure. He plays for the Rams. That makes a lot of sense. Or we go Devonte. The both throw them both up there. Devonte Adams and Blake Corm. What else? What else is Mike Evans playing? Mm hmm. 49 and a half
is his receiving yards line. Mike Evans over. And there we go. Okay. Now let's let's top four. Top four. Top four is our part. Top four answers on the board. There we go. Sped it. And here they go. Here we I'd like to see you call all. Now, now, I'd like to say earlier when you said and now look where he is now. This is where he is now. I've never been more proud to be a mentor. Is sitting on our couch describing our horse races. But you don't do the best play by play. I don't know. Disappointed. I'll try and do my best. Ready to teach your mentors. Here we go. 30 seconds of the clock. Brought to you by Draft Kings. We do not have anybody really separated from the pack to start, but it does seem like Christian McCaffrey anytime touchdown with a slight lead on the Christian McCaffrey five receptions. Also there he tells back now a little bit under 49 and a half with 15 seconds left is looking like the play staff in the reception creeped up though. We are looking good as we approach 10 seconds remaining now. And oh, it looks like Christian McCaffrey five
plus receptions making a late push, but under 49 and a half is going to win it. It had to be under the top four. Stafford Interception. Stafford I and T under 49 and a half. Alfonso Adams and Mike Evans. Was there a rigged somehow? Didn't you want under 49 and a half? I did. That's just how the horse. The horse is the horse. The horse is always now. Not about the horse. Absolutely. That was exciting. So ready for the day. One more sideline reporter question. So you guys you you're with the pirates all year, right? Yes. This is you've got the white socks and the cubs one full week in a city. That's got to be pretty cool. It's great, especially a busy baseball travel season. It's nice to stay in one place for a week and not have to pack up and move every three days and bounce around. Chicago is also an awesome city to spend a weekend. Yep. Well, summertime. Yeah. I really love it here. It's unbelievable out there. What can you tell us about Jake Mangum? Jake Mangum. You can understand why he was the mayor. The minute you
said he stepped on campus. Yeah. Everybody loves Jake Mangum. And Jake Mangum also has fans everywhere as Mississippi State fans travel extremely well. You brought that up. Yes. Yeah, she's one of the said it. Unbelievable. Yeah. And Connor Griffin, obviously with the Mississippi ties. He was committed to go to LSU obviously didn't go, etc, etc. But the Mississippi fans from there love the travel and watch him to Adam Frazier was on our team last year. Obviously was with the pirates for a while too. So he had Mississippi State fans were everywhere with the pirates. So yeah. And Connor and Jake went to the same high school. They did. They both went to Jackson Pratt, which is pretty. Yeah. Years and years apart, but Jake's Jake's the man. Who's the fan favorite on the pirates? Is it O'Neill Cruz? Is it probably Connor Griffin? All right. Skins. It's kind of starting. Can a guy plays once every five games? Oh, Paul Skins is a superstar. Skins is absolutely. Everywhere you go, people love Paul Skins, but Connor Griffin. Connor Griffin. You asked Paul. He's going to say Connor. Yes, I can. Connor Conner's probably going to say Paul. I think a starting picture can be the guy. Yeah, I can. Just feels like there's like, there are different and best player and fan favorite. Right. That's what I mean. Like fan favorite guy. Fan favorite is
a position player. Generally, that's what I that's why I think of it. I mean, okay, so there is a difference, right? There's like the obvious like baseball, like person like you walk in a room, people are going to notice Paul Skins, Connor Griffin, guys like that. Really noticeable. Jake Mangum, certainly a fan favorite the way he plays the game Pittsburgh people love that. O'Neill Cruz obviously has the fan favorite moments because of the power that he has as a player. But then Billy Cook is also a fan favorite. Yeah. Because he is just the I mean, he is such a fun guy to be around. So nice. So humble. But the cone this year too, he has like embraced being the official cone hoister and cone bearer and people love it. What the hell's the cone? It's horse. The cone. So what the hell's the cone? It's the cone. It's the cone. It's the cone. What's the cone? It's the cone. They hoist the cone. Who's the reliever with the mullet? There's a leaf picture with a majestic mullet. I mean, we have a lot of guys with a long some long hair. You've got a lot of guys with mullets. Well, yeah, like Boba Chandler has a mullet like yeah.
Raxon's got long hair. Like all of our start pictures have long hair. There's a relief picture with super long hair. And I don't know who it is. Oh, I don't know if it's a mullet, but Lake Bocker has super long hair. You made that name up. I did not his name is Lake Bocker. It's not like yeah, I think I'm where you started. He opened our game yesterday. Lake Bocker. Lake Bocker. That's him. That's him. 100% him. Yeah, that's so he fun fact about Lake Bocker. Incredible human. He when we go to Milwaukee and stay at the fister, he brings ghost hunting equipment. Oh, what? What did you say? He brings ghost hunting equipment. So that whole sentence was a joke. When Lake Bocker goes to Milwaukee, he's standing at the fister. And of the Pittsburgh pirates to tune in because we are one of the most interesting teams you will with Lake Bocker. I go ghost hunting. Fister. He goes ghost hunting. Look, I think that is a sentence that's never been I didn't know Lake Fister was haunted in Milwaukee or not like. The fister hotel. Fister. I don't know. Oh, yeah. So the fister has a lore that it is very haunted.
We have guys who will die on the hill of essentially all these stories. I personally have tried to stay on the haunted side and have not experienced anything. I guess I'm not cool enough to talk. You tried to be hot. I tried. I wanted to know if I'm there, I'm going to experience it. You're going to sideline report on the haunting. Yes. Like I want a story. I might as well bring something of value. But there's actually stories out there. I think like Mookie bets of the Dodger. Like we don't stay there when they they're here because he doesn't want to deal with the ghost. Connor, how do you know about the fister? I just know because I've read the Mookie bet story. And I'm familiar. I was talking to somebody about it a couple of weeks ago. He probably saw my like bocker ghost hunting story because he follows me closely. That's also true. Yeah. Are there are there other hotel haunted hotels along the corridor? There used to be one apparently in Tampa that people used to stay at. Andrew McCudgeon told me like a story from there before that he had where he eventually just slept with the lights on and TV on every night because every time he tried to turn them off, they'd come back on. And he was like, you know what? You're right. You got it. You win. I'm in your house. And so every night he just slept with them on because he was like, yep, I lost. More the lights just
motion censored. No, I mean the TV coming on and everything. I don't know. I mean, he was pretty like shaking up about the whole thing. So probably has a remote and you've got to do some digging on the haunted hotels for MLBC. We were talking about Oklahoma City. Apparently has one in the NBA circles. That's the really? Yeah, there's an Oklahoma City one is what they say. Talking about doing some extra content. There you go. Staying at the ghost hunting equipment with like bocker. God, I was going to the fister. What's what's ghost hunting equipment? Look on Am I. So I also asked him, I go, why haven't you felt any presence is yet? And he was like, I don't know how high quality my equipment is from Amazon. So we might have to help his equipment in the off season to find some things. But apparently you can get Amazon. Who's making the premium ghost hunting equipment? Yeah. Real questions. Is that like a sharper image? Yeah. Yeah. Whirlpool. I feel like that's anyone who can find it. It's you guys find the premium. I got one more. It all goes down at noon. Big teams big plays. Big noon Saturday is streaming live on Fox one.
Ravories, upsets, chaos, whatever happens. You're watching it live football at noon streaming live on Fox one. Watch three days free. Big noon Saturday live on Fox one. Watch three days free offers are subject to change. See Fox one for complete terms and conditions. Obviously, I'll be at big noon Saturday. I'll be in Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor. Oklahoma and Michigan. I kind of, I mean, it's a game that everyone kind of thinks they know what's going to happen, but it's still a big one, right? Like it's a huge one. That's what makes it a big one. And you know, if you listen to Vegas, that's a five and a half point spread. And I don't see a public is saying a blowout, but the Vegas is saying not so fast. I don't see how a Michigan can score on this team. But you know, what people are smarter than me and Michigan regardless of what happens Saturday night, they do get to play again. Quarterback change at some point. It's coming. It's coming. Did you see the clips or do you make anything out of the way the quarterback responded yesterday when they yeah, yeah, yeah, very bizarre. Hey, Hey, man, coach is talking about taking a job. It's cool. That's cool. Yeah, all right. All right. I don't know how you're supposed to react though, to be honest. Oh, we're talking about on well, PFT had a good response, which is like you say, yeah, everybody,
at the way we played against Western Michigan, everybody should be fighting for their job this week. It's out maybe say something like that. You know, some along those lines of like, listen, I wasn't good enough. You know, I got to be better as a leader of this team. Wasn't that what it's cool means? Yeah, I guess. I think it's cool covers everything. But he didn't say it in a cool way. He said it in a monitor. That's cool. Like, tell me I suck and I'm a failure and I'm the worst person. Brandon, you suck. And we're going to get rid of you all like it's it's certainly going to happen. It's not a matter of if it's a matter of when it's cool. So he didn't even do that. What he didn't he didn't. He didn't just go to those. That's cool. Oh, you got to have the shoulder shrug. You got to be like, it's cool. I think you would have put sunglasses on as he said, that's cool. I think gave a peace sign and skateboarded away. Yeah, turn his hat backwards. Put on a fedora. Yeah, I think I think all that would have been fine. Hannah, have you ever been told a word to say on a broadcast and did it or or what? So Taylor was telling us just in turn, her hat her say she shed on the show.
Oh, man. No, I don't think anyone's had me. I don't think anyone's had me say something. Jared Jones and I have like an underlying funny vocabulary things every once in a while. I've heard me with the word and I'll be like, man, that seems like a really big word for you. But it's just that he's way smarter than what he likes to let on. I don't want to give him that much credit, but he is. And so I feel like we have some vocab words we add to it. I could always work one of those in it. One point, but our broadcasters do that. Some like our play by play guys. They love a bit. So if there's some sort of thing, like if it was dog night or something, just to like keep getting things in there and they love a dad joke. So sometimes we'll have like things like that or a whole show of that kind of stuff. But I don't think I've ever had somebody tell me I had to. There are some we let the horses give her a challenge. Yeah. We give the horses. Everybody. Everybody give a word and see what the horses. And you don't have to Hannah. It's up to you. See what the horses say. Okay. Uh phrases or like I didn't prepare for words. Say a word. It can't. No, no, no,
that's not a cancelable word. Sorry. Cut because if they were, we'd just have Connor say I'm on this show. Right. Yes. So yeah, this could be a fun one today. Demonstrative. Oh. That's not hard. No, you can get the monster. You can get the monster. But um jellyfish. I think that's fine. All right. So fish is good. Um, wow, it's so hard to think of words when you don't want to think of words. Yeah, all of a sudden, I don't you never heard of a word in your whole life. Albatross. Mr. Ed. Oh, Mr. Ed. Mr. Ed. Um, and then T.J. You get a word. Mr. Ed again. That one is you. I mean, what am I going to be? Okay. He has played baseball. Yeah. Uh, indubitably. Not what? Indubitably. You got to be able to spell it to be able to tell us. Yeah. Yeah. Isn't it? That's undoubtedly. No, that's not even. Oh, my
god. That's not a word at all. Fair. That's that's undoubtedly. That's undoubtedly. That's undoubtedly. Blutman. Blutman. No, that was the word I was saying. Blutman. Blutman. Blutman. Say, say a funny word. Rip roaring right along. Rip roaring right along. Oh, no. Oh, okay. Well, all right. Well, you're off the hook. Horses. Horses. All our horses are dead. Hard of a horse. We had hard of a horror. That's our. If I get a horse horse one in there, hey, just a horse or something. Or any. Who's wrong? Those are the words. Those are the words. Do that. Just like to go. Oh, now they don't have names. Well, you got to do the name. Do the names. How do we get rosy? Premium ghost hunting equipment. And then the name names go. Boom. Done. There are 10 seconds. Elia. Elia. Elia. Elia. Is that all right?
Rosalind. George. Oh, it's quick race. Yeah, George has the lead. Oh, but what's going to be? Rosalind. Rosalind. All right. Rosalind. There you go. How the hell should I get Rosalind in there? Before you let me go. I go on one of these broadcasts. I'd like to see. Name Rosalind. I'd be remiss. We're going to do the great in a second, Braden. But I'd be remiss if I didn't call attention to a video that was tailor made for the tightest household. This is when this came across my desk. We stopped everything we were doing in the household. And we said, we got to watch this. Sure. You're familiar with lethal shooter. The account, the guy who I understand. I understand that. I love him. I'm a shooter myself. Yeah, he's way better than me. And I'm like, this guy's, this guy's incredible. He's in three is all day long. Yeah. Yeah. Are you familiar with Miss Rachel? Less familiar. But I know she's a children's. My one year old daughter is obsessed. Every every kid is obsessed. Obsessed. Like we were when we started introducing TV. We're doing like the low stem shows. Like you didn't want to get the flashy, but you know, everything. So
you're doing like, though, and this was recommended. And we threw a few at her. And this one latched on like a media. She saw Miss Rachel. She was like, I love Miss Rachel. She can't get enough of it. But Mark, lethal shooter and Miss Rachel don't live in the same universe. Brandon, that's for your wrong because there was a collab that shook the tightest household at its foundation. We lost our fucking minds when this happened. Miss Rachel did a collab with lethal shooter. Why this happened? I have no idea how this happened. I have no idea. Miss Rachel is kind of wet. She is. She's good. Look at this. Look at this. Good hand place. Good hand place. There you go. Drops not done. Drops not done. What did this happen? This is incredible. Calm down. Good hand placement. Great. Oh my god. I don't know why when you said it. I thought he would be shooting. She'd be encouraging him. Yeah. No. Great job. And if you if you have a watch her content as I have, and I will today, I will go home and I will have to sit there and she wants to be. She's good, dude. It makes it even funnier than. Oh, pumpkin.
Brandon, she just does a lot of like. Hi. Hi. And that's that's all I ever see her as and now. I had to apply it to myself. I've never played basketball, but when you have an amazing coach, Chris, you can do anything. If he has absolutely no arc to the shot to still going in, I don't understand it. She understands it now. Incredible collab. I want more of this. I want Miss Rachel collabing with G-Fed. How can we get Miss Rachel to just how long can Miss Rachel stay at Central Michigan stadium? I want just like all my favorite internet personalities collabing with Miss Rachel. Hannah, thank you for. Thanks for having me guys. This was fun. I'm so glad I popped up and met you Yeah. Over the dugout, you know. Yeah. No, that was cool. And I don't know that we got into the kind of riff and lower as much as I would have liked to, but that's the beauty of kind of riff and we're just stealing now you're just going to have one. You don't want to dive in. You peel layers. Yeah. If you dive in, it's a little dangerous. Take it rough. You got a, I still plenty left.
Will be good. Mark, another video dropped. That's Taylor made maybe against you. Oh no. Seth dropped. Oh, this is our cults with a special guest. Oh no. Oh, boy. There we go. Indy people who could who could be an Indy day? Oh, are you guys ready? Yeah. That's the Purdue varsity league club. This is our team. It was pretty damn good. That was awesome. Fortunately. Kind of catchy. And for me, the best ones. I have to admit that was fucking off. I'm not going to be the best one, Mark. That was awesome. Well done. That was great.
That was pretty good. Well done. All right, let's do it. All right, let's do an NBA grid and get out of here. All right. Hannah, we try to get the number one answer to these. This one's not going to be easy. We play like family feud style. How well versed you are in the NBA. And not an NBA girl. We're looking for the most simple answer for these. Chris Mullin middle left. I thought you want the most outrageous answer. That's how most people do it. We're trying to get the number one. The most obvious answer. Chris Mullin middle left. Reggie Miller middle right. Reggie Miller for sure. Yeah. Yeah. And then Sermeno Neal middle middle. Victor all the depot middle middle. Yes, they like I look like the depot. All the depot maybe. Victor all the depots. Sure. Nice. Good. All done. Chris Paul top left. Oh. Terran. Chris Paul top right.
Oh, that's a brand. Terran. Terran. Terran. Terran. Joe. Feel like Taylor should have been here for this one. She covers the NBA now. Does she? She covers everything. She's all out there. Alpurncing Goon. Okay. Yeah, you're right. It's supposed to be some outing now or or would be Jalen Green. Elijah one now. Jalen Green. Watch out for Jalen Green. So about Phoenix son Jalen Green. I'm not that big. Heat he talks. A he gets there. A he talk. A hawk heat. Do do. St. Goon. St. Goon. I would get Thompson. I just forget which one. I think it's a man Kevin Herder. Oh, so he go the heat. Oh, no. What happened? Only 17 for St. Goon. It's going to be Thompson. Heat. Heat rocket. Jabari Smith. So that's no Kevin Herder for heat hawk. Did he go the heat? He's the one. Zingas. For Zingas. Kevin Herder was definitely on the hawk.
Right. Yeah, okay. Jerry's. He's on both, right? He was on the. I don't know. I'm on the might be on the heat. I don't know. Anything in a dunk in Robinson. Okay. Maybe Tyler Harrow. Only one team. Trey Young was his not only one team Hawks. Because he plays for somebody else now. So that that's two teams. It's not Dominique. Like Jalen Johnson. Chris Bosch. I rock it. No Jalen Johnson only one team. Okay. Jalen Johnson Hawks. Warriors. Shame baddie. And Hannah, whenever you're ready, just go. So Hannah, if you just drop one real quick. Right. Hannah, if he gives a hawk a hawk warrior, just whenever it comes to you. That's the top one. Hawk. One of my miss. I feel like minor just getting. Oh, Al Horthard for warrior hawk. Good answer, Connor. I like that. You think it's porzing us?
Heat rocket. Shame baddie. Shame baddie is a good answer. That's a really good answer. Oh, answer wasn't a great answer. Hawk one team. Hawk. Who's the first round? Who's the number one pick from a recess. Recession. Zach. Recession. Recession. Recession. Do that. Do research. Wait, they just trade them. No, that's a play. Who am I thinking of? Did they trade him? No, I think he's. But he ain't playing him. If we got trade in the office, he's gonna be able to play for anybody else. Sure. Oh, yeah. Recession. You better than James Johnson. Say, I started one percent. That's good. Yeah, that's a good one. Heat hawk. Heat hawk. Heat hawks. Hawks hawks hawks hawks. Kevin Harder. What about... Mookie Blalock. Oh. Who are some... Antoine Walker. Who's on the heaters? That was coming from other teams. Chris Bosch and LeBron James.
That too, yeah. Joel Anthony. That's called a replay for the heat? No. Gary Pate never played for the hawks. He played for the heat. Jay Will ever played for the hawks. No. Did... Who played for the hawks? Kevin Harder. Should we roll with that? Josh Smith played for the heat. Did... Teg didn't play for the heat. Hannah, we always save the last spot for a guest. You guys are hilarious. I don't follow the NBA enough to get a good answer for this. Hannah, I don't know if you picked up... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold... Gabe Vincent. I was kind of expecting more of a... I was sort of expecting more of a... Judging me to fact, no one had an answer. Yeah, that's fine. That's fine. Stay in Vincent. I thought Gabe Vincent... It's recent, so it could be a... No, he is a heat, right? Yeah. That's a good... Joe Johnson dude. He played for the heat. Somebody said Joe Johnson. Kevin Durant, Kyle Lowry. Kyle Lowry. We didn't get any of them.
I'm not saying Joe Johnson. We got the metal row. Go back, what was a... We're for it only being 18% in the world. What was Gabe Vincent, 5%? All right. All right, well thank you Hannah. You guys are so welcome. I wish I could have been better morally. It's okay. You happen to know where Kevin Harder played? Yeah. That's the show we'll be back tomorrow. That's all balls done. Awesome.
