Hour 2: Good For You

America leads the world in medicine development. It matters. We get new medicines first nearly

three years faster. Five million Americans go to work because we make medicines here at home

and not relying on other countries keeps us safe. But China is racing to overtake us.

Will we let them or will we choose to stay ahead? When America leads, America cures.

Let's tell Washington to keep us in the lead.

I'm allowed to use the end word. This is unfair what you guys are doing to me in a time.

Weird way to start the segment. I'm really tired of what's happening around here.

Good for me. I think you forgot the voice. You forgot the voice.

You forget the voice. You forget the voice.

You forget the voice. Now just say it as a gackie. In fact, I'm sorry, Tony.

You're going to have to leave for not understanding that that's not understanding my own character.

You can't do it. That's what I'm saying.

I want you to reflect.

That was my father saying best day, which is Spanish for that stinks.

There's a smell in here and tremendo.

Come and me is a tremendous eater.

That is what my father just called Tony and it wasn't strong enough.

You said I can use the end word and he said good for you, Dan.

He was he was very clearly going somewhere with it.

At least that's what we're going to tell everybody.

This Sunday night from at least 545 to 845 and maybe later Eastern.

We're going live on YouTube to cover a selection Sunday and the Oscars at the same time.

David Samson is going to be down here in his tuxedo.

We've got other special guests lined up, including Miami head coach Jay Lucas.

Hi, Lucas, as I like to call him.

And we're going to have a number of things, including I'm told the character that Jeremy is breaking out

as party supreme instead of Marty supreme.

It's party supreme.

Jeremy, you can skip ESPN.

You can skip the e red carpet.

Come hang out with us instead 545 to 845 Eastern at least on Sunday.

This is going to be an extremely distracting Sunday because you have those two things going

on simultaneously.

Two major events were combining them.

But you also got a lot of great sports going on at that same time.

You have the the final round of the players, the players, the best hole in golf,

the island, green, the players.

You also have Indian wells.

You also have left turns from Las Vegas.

There's a lot going on on Sunday at that.

We say Native American wells now.

That's party supreme, ladies and gentlemen.

Always there for you when you are not.

Is he just a party pooper?

And you want to have party poopers.

Just a new Debbie downer HR.

We got to find something between the extremes of Jeremy's party pooper supreme.

And Tony, Dan, good for you.

You should be allowed to say whatever you want.

We were just talking about that scene from modern family.

I think you were just doing a recall when they were like, we got to bring it in tight.

We got to be like the family of the black tight end in the blind side.

And he's corrected offensive line.

He's like, I'm sorry, African American kid.

That shows so good, man.

I would argue that it is the best sitcom in the history of network television.

I love the writing on that show more than I love the writing on any other sitcom

that there's ever been.

But I do realize I'm in the minority on that one.

Put it on the poll at Levitard show.

Does modern family have the best writing in the history of network comedy television writing?

I can see where I aired there.

But I thought was not the same thing that I was thinking then.

Obviously, what happened?

Yeah.

I was thinking I know the thing, right?

This is important.

Is this your apology?

I thought you got, I thought you got a pass to say something when in fact it was a different thing.

And, you know, I'll take that.

Minor penalty.

Too many extra dumpster juice takes.

It's a dumpster juice take out.

Yeah.

Your apology wasn't great.

Reflect.

I aired.

We've got to go again.

You got to leave here.

The code is tight in there, by the way.

The code is, I know, people are getting haircuts.

It's very tight in there.

The Cody family loves itself a cruise.

And Greg Cody has twice joined us from his vacation.

Because he chose to vacation as the dolphins cut to the dolphin signed Malik Willis.

And Bam out of bio went for 83 points.

Yeah.

What has been hard for him to miss more in a couple of days locally than he missed?

The bad thing is just, uh, can you guys get me?

Please, the video of Cody joining us from his cruise vacation.

Either one of them is fine.

I'd like to play both of them.

They've been real crowd pleasers.

Greg Cody joining us from vacation.

Uh, we've missed him this week.

We always love having him around.

He makes everything a little bit better.

So if you guys could get for me, both of those videos of Cody joining us

as a disheveled mess from vacation,

taking no interest in taking care of his hair.

I would appreciate you guys doing that.

Please play for me the first of those two videos.

That we got.

Okay, so I want to vacation in the Caribbean.

And all kind of stuff keeps happening in South Florida sports.

Stopping.

I'm on a beach in Portola, British Virgin Islands.

And I find out that the canned tuna, canned tuna,

and signed Malik Willis the dolphins have.

And now we're docking in Barbados,

Runcat.

We'll be doing some rope later today.

But a beautiful rope tour.

There's a rival cruise ship in the background.

Anyway, now we're pulling into Barbados.

And all anybody's talking about his band line of five is for 83 points.

Somebody told me band score 83.

I'm like, in a week in three or four games, that's pretty good.

83 points in one game.

Hey.

Morning.

Okay.

Okay.

No, no, that's, that's okay.

Those are our friends from the sweet next door.

Let's say, oh, yeah.

Good for three, four games.

South Florida sports quit doing things that are newsworthy while I'm on vacation.

Have a little respect.

Fam on a bio of all people's for 83 points.

More than Michael Jordan ever did.

More than LeBron James is just insane.

Anyway, let me drink some rum to the name.

Well, if things keep happening, it's South Florida sports.

He gave us three anyways in there.

And I was expecting an MVP chant after all of them.

I can't believe how much John Schneider both looks like Stugots

and how much his left hand looked like Stugots is left hand.

Let's play the other video of Greg Cody joining us

from Sandy Beach is not the cruise ship itself.

Okay.

So as I'm recording this on a beach in Tortola,

the dolphins have cut to a tongue of all as expected

and signed Malik Willis, which I predicted they would

and advocated that they do.

And so congratulations dolphins for following my advice.

But here I am, not doing my job.

Basically just drinking a rum drink

on a beach in Tortola.

With by the way, Tortola to me,

almost under like a pasta type of pasta or the actor,

you know, the famous American actor, John Tortola.

But instead, you turn that at the biggest island

in the British Virgin Islands.

And we're here on the first stop of our cruise.

Had a great time so far.

A lot of drinking, a lot of partying.

Once a money in the casino, which is always a bonus,

did well in the slots, did well at roulette,

loved the big wheel, the big clicking wheel,

and took a masterclass in how to make a tenderloin.

Had a bourbon tasting.

It's been fantastic.

And we'll come to you again soon.

See you later, the sea, right in my background.

See you later.

How do you feel about his Tua analysis there?

And his Malik Willis analysis, as he just took you on a tour of things I've done?

Basically a celebration of Greg Cody's narcissism,

Zaz spent the entire time shaking his head at Cody.

He kind of discussed you and you can't help yourself from liking him.

I mean, I, but okay, so it's an interesting experience

that I've had with Greg Cody for sure.

The first part of it is it's not exactly an obscure prediction he make

that I think the dolphins are going to sign Malik Willis.

Well, now he advocated for them doing it.

It wasn't just I think they will, they should.

I mean, great job.

Like Bullseye Greg, you nailed that one.

But yes, while I lack respect on his sports opinions and sports columns,

I have gotten quite soft.

All right, in how I actually feel about him.

I've, I've, I'm a little bit soft now these days.

Honourous Thompson looks like shit.

Mike, you know, I have one rule to live by, right?

Don't place parlays on multiple long shots.

Don't say a game is one when it hasn't hit triple zero.

Mm-hmm.

Always drink your egg or myster ice cold.

That's the rule.

Everything else is merely a suggestion.

Everything else, everything else.

Wearing clean, underwear, every day.

Well, that's just a personal decision.

Brushing your teeth.

Ugh.

Obviously smart, but not a rule.

Never pee pee on an electric fence.

Okay, maybe there are two rules.

But the one that is 100% that I insist on completely,

Yeager Myster must be drunk ice cold.

Or don't drink it at all.

Damn, that's cold.

Exactly.

You're finally starting to get it.

Drink responsibly.

Think of having been practicing?

Stoogats.

Oh, whoa.

I didn't realize we had a substitute complicated legacy.

Brought to you by Harry Potter to load, huh?

441 Powerline Road.

299.

This is the Don Lebertard show with a Stoogats.

I want to just replay that entire video

so that you guys could sort of experience

what it's like to be a Cody family member and loved one.

This is Erlene, his wife, who has to stop and video him.

No, no.

I want the second one.

I want the second one.

She stands in on the first.

Yeah, no.

But I want the second one just because what I want to analyze here

is the backstory that isn't told here.

I don't want the one with him with the cruise ship in the background.

I want the other one because I want you to see,

come here, uh, hun, hun.

I want to do a video because Tua has been let go

and they've signed Malik Willis.

This is a big story.

Let's count how much time he spends talking about the big story

and how much time he just spends telling you

about what he's been doing.

Okay, so as I'm recording this on a beach in Tortola,

the dolphins have cut to a tongue of law as expected

and signed Malik Willis, which I predicted they would

and advocated that they do.

And so congratulations dolphins for following my advice.

But here I am, not doing my job.

Basically just drinking a rum drink on a beach in Tortola.

With, by the way, Tortola to me all of a sudden,

like a pasta, a type of pasta or the actor,

you know, the famous American actor, John Tortola,

but instead, you turn that into the biggest island

in the British Virgin Islands.

And we're here on the first stop of our cruise.

Had a great time so far, a lot of drinking, a lot of party,

once a money in the casino, which is always a bonus,

did well on the slots, did well at, at Roulette,

loved the big wheel, the big clicking wheel,

and took a master class in how to make a tenderloin.

Had a bourbon tasting, it's been fantastic.

And we'll come to you again soon.

See you later, the sea, right in my background.

See you later.

For those of you scoring at home, the first 15 seconds,

where I was right, the last minute was nothing

about the big breaking news that he had to get his wife

to immediately do a video about.

He's also such a fraud.

I'm telling you, he does these type of content videos

a lot on travels every single time.

He's having a great time.

He never says we're having an okay time.

We haven't gotten to the good part.

It's just, it's just like this generic.

We're having a great time out here.

So his wife is actually sitting on that bench

with him holding the phone?

Yes.

She hates him.

Chris, have you been jealous that he's on a cruise

and you're not on a cruise?

The funny thing is, is just by happenstance,

he's on a cruise the same week.

I was at an all-inclusive earlier this week.

And I think I might be, because you know,

Cody's big cruisers.

I might be an all-inclusive guy now.

I don't need the rocking.

I don't need the rocking.

And I realize that these all-inclusives,

it's the same thing as the drink package.

Like there's no, I thought for some reason

that these all-inclusives, they try to limit you.

But no, it's whatever food you want, buffets, restaurants,

any alcohol.

Like it's not like, it's my first all-inclusive.

Oh, gee.

I thought it was like, I thought maybe you'd be like a wedding

where it's like, we have this whiskey for you.

You can get the good whiskey for a price,

but we got this included.

And so I was just, and it's not that.

It's, maybe I went to a good one,

but I think I might be an all-inclusive guy now,

because I love the pools way better at an all-inclusive

than on a cruise.

Oh, yeah.

Pools on the cruises are a little sad and very overcrowded.

Just, I don't know.

I mean, I have found, and my brother

traveled the entire world on cruises

because of what it is that he was doing,

but I found them to be petri dishes for disease,

all of it in the world pool.

You go into the pool on the cruise?

Oh, yeah, I mean, I don't spend a ton of time there.

But yeah, I mean, I guess one more.

Put it on the poll at Levitard Show.

Will you go in the world pool at the cruise?

Yes or no?

Upon further reflection.

Yeah, it wasn't a great look.

Not bad.

We got one.

But to be fair, we got one.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

We got one and no.

I don't work out everything.

We got one and no.

We got one and no.

We don't need to be fair.

You got the apology, right?

Just don't say anything else.

And we're fine with where it is

that things have ended up there.

I don't do public pools.

I don't do pools with other people.

I don't like it.

You're a private pool guy.

I see.

I get that.

I don't want to be in a pool.

I don't want to be like in a close vicinity

with people that I don't know who don't have their shirt on

and the legs around.

And I don't dig it.

Our pits.

Yeah, I get what you're coming from with that.

You're not worried about the peak.

Which one I say, dog?

Saslow's judgment is sometimes a little strange.

The most recent evidence that I have of this is

that Saslow, who everyone now knows,

is a rising star at ESPN Radio.

Or it's been happening enough, I guess,

that we can say he's already risen as a star

because they're using him all over the place.

And Freddie and Harry,

the show that he did afternoon drive on ESPN Radio,

asked the question,

who are the most untouchable athletes in sports?

And they asked an assortment of people this

and see if you can find Saslow's nomination on this list.

It's, of course, Victor Wimbanyama, Patrick Mahomes,

Shohei Otani, Josh Allen,

Connor McDavid, and Roman Reigns.

What does that mean?

Roman Reigns is an untouchable athlete in sports.

Untouchable.

They would never get rid of him.

All right, the question was untouchable athletes,

meaning like the team would never trade him,

would never cut him.

They would never entertain offers

of not having him on their team anymore.

Roman Reigns.

Untouchable.

You could say it that way and think it is impactful,

but it's ridiculous what it is that you're saying.

He does not belong in the class as those other.

Like two teams.

Well, he's going to be in there's Roman Reigns.

Well, there's Otani was third somehow on this list.

I put him second.

I would trade Mahomes before Otani.

None of those guys scored 83 points in a game.

Yeah, 14 months ago, I would have said Luca.

You know, to consider when I started working at ESPN Radio,

my biggest concern was that they're going to allow me to do my

and you did the bulls.

Lakers fans are turning on Luca.

Have you guys seen this?

That is interesting to watch happen when

they have the oldest player in the league on their team

and numerically the Lakers appear to be a good deal better

when it's just Luca and Austin Reigns and LeBron getting out of the way.

But he's not going to get out of the way.

They're not going to be good enough defensively.

You can't have those three players running around

and expect to win playoff games with your defense.

They just have a flaw that can't be overcome.

What do you do?

Like honestly, I haven't considered what I'm about to say

since the New York Yankees

took Alex Rodriguez who was a better defensive shortstop

than Derek Jeter and made their team worse

by putting Alex at third base

and leaving the captain at shortstop.

I have not considered since then what I'm about to say,

which is the Lakers have a problem

in that LeBron mathematically makes their team worse

if you play him too many minutes.

Oh, we had a good run with that era on topic.

The three good years.

Oh, because I had so rarely seen

as low a team do what team architects never do

and they chose emotion and sentimentality

over what makes our team better.

Like mathematically and empirically,

A-Rod had more range as a shortstop

and was a better defensive shortstop than Jeter

but they couldn't do that to Jeter and move him to third base.

But at least there's an end date here with the Lakers.

I mean, we all kind of know

this is very likely LeBron's last year there.

And here's where the criticism of the Lakers

is a little bit unfair.

I'm planning critical of the Lakers

and certainly of LeBron James.

But here's where the criticism is a little bit unfair

because when the move for Luca was made last year,

we all knew it was made for the future.

It was not supposed to be a move that helped them right now

because they don't have any size.

They traded away.

They also traded away their best defensive player

like they're not going to be going on that end

to the floor now trading away

a great defensive player

and getting a really poor defensive player.

But everyone was cool with it

because all right, in the short term,

we're not going to be great.

But in the long term,

now we have our foundational peace.

But the way that we treat this team,

it's like as if we haven't had that conversation.

But there was also the weird situation

with the Mark Williams trade.

They got rescinded too.

Speaking of rescinded trade.

Terrible job by the Lakers.

That was supposed to be the peace,

the rim runner,

rummer and I'm thinking of Greg Cody.

The rim runner,

the guy who's protecting,

down low, like that was supposed to be the peace.

Then they're like, yeah, no,

his physical to terrible,

we're not going to do that.

So it's like, now you're looking at what you had

in Dallas in a worse way

because you have the Kyrie in Austin Reeves.

You got an old guy somewhere

walking around like LeBron who's not going to play defense.

But it's like, all right,

what do you, it's just more Dallas?

But you could really,

like we really should be judging

the Lakers and Luca starting next year.

That was always what the conversation was

when the trade was made.

It's this is a trade for the future.

Maybe, maybe we could have some fun while LeBron is still here,

but this is about the rest of Luca's career.

We'll be frustrating to waste a great Luca year

as he is what he is,

but he's only ascending toward his pride in terms of age

and when you could build a team around him.

The irony is with all this conversation,

you know, they're nine and two

and it's just him in Austin Reeves.

They're so much better.

They are still tied for third at the moment in the conference.

Now everybody's separated by about two games,

but they have an opportunity for home court in the first round

and may play well enough to do it.

The problem is, is when they're at full strength,

they're actually worse than they are when they're not.

What do you do with what it is I'm presenting you guys, though?

I'm presenting you with empirical data that says

they're worse when Luca has to play with LeBron.

What do you do?

You say at least there's an ending yet.

That ending is in the first round of the playoffs

when they get knocked out as the higher seed

because they don't play playoff defense.

That team is more ripe for an upset in the first round

than any team in the sport

because they do not play what playoff basketball requires.

They can't do it.

It's not they're doing it one way in the regular season

and then they'll turn on something else.

If Austin Reeves, Luca and LeBron are getting minutes,

you're not going to guard anybody

and you can't play winning playoff basketball that way.

You can't even dispute what I'm saying,

which is they are more susceptible to an upset

than any team in basketball

if they do indeed play with home court advantages

the higher seed in the first round.

You can just wait three months.

LeBron won't be on the team and that's it.

You're going to give away this season.

You're going to give away.

You're going to fight as much as you can

but you know, you have limitations on the team.

But what I'm asking you guys is

and the reason I'm pairing it against the jitter thing

if it were anybody but LeBron,

we'd be saying you can't be playing him.

You got to give the team over to Luca

and you got to see if you can be the mavericks

by surrounding Luca with the players

who are going to play good defense.

You can't ask the oldest player in the league

to be a key defensive cog for you.

So what do you do?

You just acknowledge you're going to be worse

and then lose when no team does that.

The entire thing about labor and load management

is we're going to be right and at our best

when the playoffs start.

You're going to not be able to reduce LeBron's minutes, correct?

I don't think they're going to want to reduce LeBron's minutes

because once you get to the postseason

there are no back-to-backs.

I mean, heck, sometimes it games on Monday.

The next game's on Friday, you know, in the first round

that they're going to maximize LeBron

if anything come playoffs.

As is right now, they're going to be in the 4-5 seed

against the Denver Nuggets.

How many games do they win against the Denver Nuggets?

I just think they're going to lose in the first round

and I think you know that already.

So you're going to just choose it.

You're going to do nothing in the way

of trying to be slightly better

when the entire job of management is to make you slightly better.

Oh, folks, look at me.

I'm in my 30s, which is old enough to know better

and somehow still young enough to ignore

that information pretty regularly.

Like you know me, all of a couple drinks,

normal adult behavior, nothing crazy.

And in the next morning, my body reacts

like I have made a series of terrible decisions

with no supervision.

My sleep score tanks, I wake up confused,

suddenly even replying to one text feels like a full task.

But that is why I have discovered

and gotten into Cheers Restore.

Alcohol is differently now.

It affects your brain, your sleep, your liver, all of it,

and Cheers Restore is made for that.

It's a dual action after alcohol A

It was on Shark Tank.

All I do is take three capsules after my last drink

or before bed and the next morning is way less dramatic.

Same night out, way better morning with Cheers.

Dan Lebatard.

The funniest cotton slappy.

Stugats.

Is this chumbucket?

This is the Dan Lebatard show with the Stugats.

It's tough to Lebron because the way that he was aging,

the way that he was always going to continue

to be an efficient player as he aged,

was really to just be a point guard who runs the offense

and then occasionally goes off for whatever amount of points.

But Luca is best when he has the ball in his hands.

He's not an off ball player.

And it puts Lebron in a very strange position on the floor.

But that's why he's moved and pivoted offensively

to be the screen man and play that dirty work.

The problem is not on the offense side of the floor.

The problem is on the defense side of the floor

where we talked about Jordan Miller being able to cover one

through four and a half.

Lebron can cover like the four.

Like he's not moving out in the wing like he used to.

And of course, he's 41 years old.

Is this the way you're having the head coach

be your former podcast partner and supporting them?

I just don't know what you can do.

I don't know what choice you have.

Well, can't you do like you saw Eric Spulster now

when Norman Powell, the four Norman Powell got hurt recently,

Tyler Hito was coming off the bench

because you can't have those guys in the lineup together.

They've not been good at Miami.

And similarly here with the Lakers,

I don't think JJ Reddick can pull that move with Lebron.

I want to ask the audience just as a thought experiment though.

If I tell you I playing Vanderbilt more,

I don't even know what you'd physically do

if you're the Lakers to try and get more defense.

But is there a scenario that I can put in front of you

that you guys would be willing to try

because I'm telling you on the front end?

The Lakers know they can't win this way.

Rich Paul already said it.

Rich Paul said it on that podcast.

He is doing with Max Callerman said it

and is going to say fewer things because he said it.

He's not able to say everything that he wants to say

no matter how powerful Rich Paul thinks he is.

But I really do ask the all of you.

What do you do and do you guys think

that there's been any coach in history

that has the cajones to say Lebron?

You're gonna play less.

It doesn't make us better to have you out there.

We have to do it this way.

I don't know that there's a coach that exists

that can do that.

And I find that part interesting

when you put it against the coach's job

is to give everybody the best chance to win.

And here, emotionally, they cannot do it.

It has to be a coach that has so much power

in his organization and you can kind of do whatever he wants.

Like think about Spowe.

Like would Spowe send Lebron to the bench

and be like, hey, you're coming off

you're playing 26 minutes a game?

Even then, like, we remember the end of Dwayne Wade

when he was no longer the same player in 2018.

They're like, hey, man, end of the game, it's you.

39 minutes a day.

He would be still giving it to Lebron

no matter who their star was.

Someone like Popovich probably would have done it

considering, I mean, he sat Tim Duncan

the final possession against Miami in game six.

Like that's Tim Duncan, but Popovich felt

that that was what was best for the team.

So yeah, like maybe Popovich would have done it.

Speaking of the Lakers, by the way, Dwight Harrow

was there looking completely unbothered

at a Laker game as he files for divorce

when his wife is putting on the internet

a massive bag of cocaine that she says belongs to Dwight Howard.

Yeah, you know, that kind of thing.

Okay, let's just for him.

I thought Tony was going to defend that too.

Minor penalty, two minutes for adding nothing.

Adding nothing.

I have a couple more things to say.

Wait, it's a legend.

We did not talk about the college football round table.

We did not talk at all or mention at all.

Donald Trump getting involved with college football

and trying to rescue college football

because he doesn't have anything better to do.

He's handling everything else so competently.

Why are you still here, Tony?

I helped you.

It is true.

In Tony's defense, I mean, you lobbed a grenade

and we were all going to let you sit in silence.

And Tony at least tried to give you a better.

He didn't give me anything.

Yeah, you know, I said that kind of thing.

He actually gave you something where nobody else gave you anything,

but I can't kick you all out otherwise.

I'd just be sitting here talking to myself.

At the start of the segment, I messed up.

OK, hand in the air.

Is that on me, coach?

I'll take the penalty.

OK, thank you, Tony.

I appreciate you being so gracious.

You're just a player.

You offered nothing.

The college football round table, the fixing of things,

I can't think of anyone I'd want

around college football less than Donald Trump.

I mean, he's been trying to get involved.

And this seems to be a really tough nut to crack

for all legislators and the NCAA.

Oddly, the NCAA is a bipartisan issue.

Everybody hates them.

Like the most conservative Supreme Court

justices, they rule against them.

And then they opine and give college sports takes while they do it.

It's crazy.

This is a really difficult thing to govern.

And Donald Trump once again tried to do something.

And I was really happy with a reaction to this,

which is everybody, pretty consensus.

This is a gigantic waste of time.

This is a circus.

And if you recall, the initial guess list to this thing

made zero sense.

Yeah, I had Bryson to shambo, Tiger Woods, Tim Tebow,

a lot of guys, ended up passing.

Yeah, why would any of those people agree to go?

Look, this is a time where standing next to Tim Tebow

and Tiger Woods, that'd be good for Donald Trump

as he is historically unpopular, right?

But the whole thing was just a disaster.

There's a million people in this room with,

I think the head of the NHL Hall of Fame was in there.

It was just like a random grab bag of names.

I think I saw a metric that half the people that were there

actually got a word in.

And at the end of it, he was just asked,

what would you like to see happen?

I'd like to send it back to the way that it was before.

There's zero representation for labor,

zero active students, one woman,

one woman in all of this.

One too many.

It was just a huge waste of time.

It was just for Donald Trump to be around

some college sports buddies and get a photo op.

Nothing came of it.

Nothing.

Yeah, what are you smiling about?

Because he's so proud of himself.

I was a good line from Proud of himself.

A good line from Party Supreme.

It was a good line, him saying, as the Gackie,

you broke out, you're the Gackie for the first time

that one too many was good line and a good window.

And he was efficient.

You should reward him for that.

He should be proud of himself.

I think this is one of those instances

where I'm glad Donald Trump is so blunt

because he cut right to it.

He is surrounded by people in his ear that are telling him,

hey, let's go back to the way that it was

where the labor doesn't get paid.

And we don't have to take any pay cuts.

And we all just revel in all the money

as the money keeps going up.

Make college football great again.

That's what he wants.

That's what he wants.

He also added like something like,

oh, maybe they can get a little something

but they are all upset that labor has any power whatsoever.

The power dynamic is crazy in that sport.

There was a funny interaction with Tommy Tuberville

who's a former successful coach at Auburn

and he went to Texas Tech famously

and Cincinnati as well.

And he was asked, what would you like to see happen

with the transfer rules right now?

Because right now you can go anywhere.

And he's like, you get one transfer penalty free.

But after that, you're not allowed to.

And then a simple follow up.

Well, what about the coaches?

You would think Tommy Tuberville would be prepared

for this question.

Takes a beat.

Yeah, got me there.

Sounds like me earlier.

I didn't want to over commit.

Are you guys going to watch?

I don't know the date of the fight.

Gina Carano against Ronda Rousey.

What is the date that's there?

May 16th, yeah.

When's the last time?

Absolutely, dialed.

When is the last time either of those people fought

and are both of them in their 40s now?

Both of them are in their 40s?

I think Rousey's nine years, Carano's 10.

I mean, Ronda said a lot of stuff

that raised some eyebrows, spectacular stuff.

Mike, she's tough to take.

She, I'm sorry.

She is tough to take, Ronda Rousey.

Yeah, I'm just a, just a, like she hates everything.

She's angry at everything.

A lot of people have problems with her

that have interact with her.

I can't speak to it, but she's not popular in locker room.

Nothing is ever her fault.

This is such a bummer because she was so refreshing

when it all started.

I remember talking to her on highly questionable

multiple times and just being wildly charmed by her

and seeing how it is that she became Dana White.

Dana White went from saying,

this will never be a thing, women fighting

to making her a headliner and being stunned

when she lost a holly home.

You saw who the Chomeen event is on that fight, Dana?

Frances and Gano, Felipe Lins.

Don't like that spot for him.

That's all you got, says.

These tosses that's out for that.

I at least gave me that kind of thing.

I'm allowed to use the, no!
