March Madness Recap | The Email Bit | The Stack - 3/23 (Hour 4)

You've been aggravated since we turned the mics on I don't know what it is. I don't have time to think about that right now.

It's ridiculous. The sports out loud. The NCAA tournament with toucher and heart.

All right, it is March Madness and as we are now into the sweet 16 let's let's not relive some moments but you know hear from some of the standout stars.

Let's go to the Michigan State University and hear what 12 am I up. You're up now. Okay, thank you. Let's go to Jeremy Fears here.

What do you have to say about your Spartans? This point guard university you know coach says to me I great point guard before.

What are you laughing at John? Did Michigan State play yesterday? I'm just wondering.

It's just I want to get a little Spartan love in there. This isn't a news segment. This is recapping the first two rounds.

Of course. Let me start it over. What's my mistake? I'm very sorry for interruption. Once we started talking about Schweitzer's it took him down the.

I got you. I got you. That's going to be a very sorry start over.

This point guard university you know coach says to me I great point guard before me and I'm just trying to keep it going.

But overall you know it's my teammates you know teammates they making a shot. Hey doing the hard part. I'm just getting them the ball.

That's right. Mm-hmm. Jeremy Fears Eric Snow all the other great point guards magic magic.

Chase Richardson. That's right. There you go. Now Michael. Did you want it?

Mateen Cleaves. Mateen Cleaves on orthodox shot. One in national championship.

But one of them in national champion. A lot of good players. A lot of guards.

A lot of like pure point guards but a lot of good guards. Oh man.

There's some good guards at Michigan State. Now it just give me a chance to talk about my alma mater for a second.

Michael how did yours do in the tournament?

Go ahead take as much time as you need.

Well my all the team that I root for my actual alma mater which is not in the NCAA's.

Oh, I thought you went to Ohio State fan but my point park university pioneers from NAIA district 18.

Yeah. All this time. You were a Buckeye playing but I am a Buckeye.

But I am a lifelong Buckeye. We're all Buckeyes.

What is Albert Breer? Now I imagine he's okay with you being a fan of Ohio State.

No, no, no, no. Let me turn it around. I'm okay with him. No, no, you got it wrong.

Here we go. I'm okay with him claiming to be a Buckeye when he grew up here and then went to school there for four years

as opposed to being born and raised on that soil.

Okay. Does it really that air soil does it go into the rain?

You're not from Columbus going to the silver pheasant in Louis High.

I was a boss of all suit. Right. Good for you.

Now, yeah, but it's all family. It's good. He's good.

Is it is it a point in bird's favor that while he only went there for four years in many ways he never left?

He is still very much a student of Ohio State University.

I love, I love getting the inside info from Bert. Bert knows everybody.

Yes. Like what? And I think Felga has said this before.

All the stuff that Bert knows, he's still giving you like 30% of really what he knows.

I mean, knows I won't I won't tell on his sources.

Oh, but we had dinner a couple of times in San Francisco during Super Bowl week.

And just riding in an Uber with Bert, I'm like, I'm sorry, I got to take this.

I'm like, is he talking to he is talking to that?

I'm not going to I'm not going to blow up his spot.

There he's been sitting in here and he's advising him.

Yeah, he's giving them like, hey, well, this is what you should do.

And hey, I, you know, I talked to this guy and this is probably going to happen in the next couple of days and it happens.

Yeah. Yeah.

So I've been sitting in here and I've seen his phone go off with unsolicited texts.

You know, just not people getting back to him, but I'm like, holy crap.

He's just not hiding it, but is, you know, also he doesn't want it made public.

Yes, he speaks with plugged, plugged, plugged in.

So anything I need to know about Ohio State, I know he is familiar and friendly with the coaching staff.

So, hey, what do you think is going to happen?

Are you going to be able to get this guy?

Yeah, they got it.

What do you think about NIL transfer portal?

Oh, I got this.

I got this guy.

He's the first guy.

It's a matter of fact, Bert.

I learned from Bert before it became public.

Hey, just look out for this.

There's this safety.

It's best safety in the country.

Top safety in the SEC.

Guys name is Caleb Downs.

Ohio State is going to get him.

They're going to pay him a lot of money.

He's going to get there.

And that was like two weeks before it happened.

And so, yeah, Bert, Bert's all over that comes to us.

Yes.

Yes.

Did you, did you tinker it all with the gambling, the wage right now?

Oh, I messed around a little bit hardy, you know?

I got it.

Yes, around.

I got to thank high point.

And I got to thank Sienna and the early cash out option on Sienna for covering all of

my March madness so far, because I was, I was going crazy with the underdogs and, you

know, days two and three, not so much.

But that, that those first round games, both the, the Sienna Duke game and high point,

those were both on Thursday.

weren't they, John?

Right.

Yes.

And they were going to share me for the rest of the weekend.

Did you go in, so in the Sienna game, which was amazing, they were up by double digit

at halftime.

I thought they were actually going to win the way they were played like Duke.

At the end of the first half, I think it was, uh, boozey, the less talented boozer,

which is anyway, anyway, not some boozer, not the big guy, but he had the ball.

He looked so, they looked scared.

They looked scared to pass the ball.

They looked scared to shoot because I think the enormity of, oh, damn, we're losing to

a 16 seed.

Well, they shot so perfectly, so poorly in the first half.

Yeah, they, they were afraid to shoot.

But then they were getting, they were getting stuck and they were getting caught flat footed

on defense.

Because they fight because they didn't make any substitutions.

Now, listen, I've been wrong about way more, but you get, were you in early on Sienna

or did you see the, how the, the first five minutes you tell, let me get in here.

It was so crazy.

After the first few minutes, I live, bet them.

So I didn't even get them at the good number and really the only thing I've gotten right

so far in the tournament, when they were still up six, I cashed out.

You cashed out when they were up six, yep.

And it went all Duke's way after that.

And we had the multi screen going and Marcy is sitting there watching it with me.

And she was all into it.

And, and, and again, I've been wrong about practically everything, but I, I said, and

I was right on this one, I said, this one's over.

As soon as Duke got it to two and they were still down, I said, we, we can focus in on Michigan

state.

We can watch flag football.

This game, well, I'll leave it up there on the screen for us.

And you can watch it.

But there's no point in listening to this.

It's going to go poorly.

If you're rooting for the Cinderella here, it's not going to happen.

And you could just tell as the starters, you know, entered their 37th minute and their

38th minute and they hadn't left the floor yet.

I'm like, it's all done.

They don't have anything left.

And I get it.

I mean, if you're Jerry McNamara, the former Sienna coach, yeah, coach is Syracuse.

I understand what he's looking at.

Okay.

They've got for the 10th year in a row seemingly, they got the number one recruiting class

in the country.

They got lottery picks.

They got future pros, even on their bench, and we're Sienna.

So our, our, our sixth guy, our seventh guy, even though he gives us a spell, he's not

going to, he's our best shot is what these five guys here, even if they're tired.

And I could understand what he was thinking, too, because it was some stat that hasn't

happened since 1979, like somebody played the same five the entire game.

So that was DePaul and the national semi-final against Indiana State.

But think about 1979 and the TV situation then, you didn't have as many TV timeouts.

You didn't have all of the breaks that they get now.

So you can kind of engineer this thing where you're not actually taking, you know, you're

not burning timeouts, but the TV timeouts will give you a little bit of a break.

And understand what he was thinking, and all the, and all the extra timeouts you get

during the reviews and, you know, you know, you know, it happened, it happened last night

and you made it up by the way that DePaul, no, that's, that's where I, that's absolutely

right.

That caught me off guard.

That's a little weird.

DePaul against who?

Larry Bird, Indiana State, national semi-final, 79, 1979.

Now, did you know this ahead of time?

Or was it just brought back to your attention after the, after, brought back to my attention?

Didn't know it.

I remember, I remember it happening.

And then the stat was brought up again while Jerry McNamara was doing, and DePaul's best

player in 1979 was, it wasn't a choir, was it?

Probably was.

All the muffin man.

Yeah.

Big muffin ass.

He'd back that thing down, he'd back he now, it was that big train, second championship

here.

Back it up.

Quite a wagon.

He was dragon.

Yeah.

Big train brought a choir in.

Yeah.

Overall, number one pick.

That was, that was for Dallas.

All right.

So, um, who had the winning shot last night for St. John's, Dylan, Dylan Darley?

Yes.

All right.

So, uh, he was asked after the game, what, uh, his coach, Rick Patino was saying to him in

the huddle.

What is your coach saying to you in that final time out?

Uh, yelling at me.

I didn't know that.

I didn't know that.

I didn't know that.

I didn't know that.

I didn't know that.

You didn't know that.

You didn't know that.

You didn't know that.

You didn't know that.

I didn't know that.

Uh, but, you know, we were talking about Rick Patino and how maybe he's, uh, not necessarily

a liked by his players, even though he seems to know what's going on.

And Michael, you told us the great story earlier of, uh, you know, 20, 25 years ago at the

garden where you'd be able to sit, you know, right next to the benches, you know, in the,

in the press seating and you could hear Patino in the way he would call plays.

Yeah.

Patino in the huddle, drawing up a play.

I have it in my career.

I haven't heard two or three or haven't seen or heard two or three coaches with more,

just pure basketball, exes and, exes and owes knowledge than Rick Patino.

So he would tell him he'd get in the huddle, okay, listen, this is what's going to happen.

You screen here, you do that and then he's going to be wide open, uh, he's going to be

wide open on the baseline.

Are you going to have, you're going to be able to drive for a layup and then they'd listen

to him.

Uh, it would happen.

Now, the problem is, as Dylan Darlin says, he screened a little too much for the pros

and they start to tune them out.

And, and even in the post game, when it's like, it's all good, you know, we just, you

got this huge win and, you know, we're all kind of celebrating the two of them at the

podium together.

Dylan, is this your first buzzer, Peter, or have you hit, hit something like this before?

Uh, this is my first one in college, uh, first one, what, what'd you do in the NBA?

Well, uh, so there's Patino butting in, like high school doesn't count that that's

what they say.

If that's all you've done before you got to college, yeah, it kind of counts.

Yeah.

If we talk about players, I still, but that's the thing, the player, I don't know if you

have the rest of that clip, but I do, uh, they'd play it because the player gets back

at him.

Uh, first one, what, what'd you do in the NBA?

Well, I'm saying I played in high school and middle school coach, you know, I didn't

just start playing ball, uh, this, I don't know, you know, I'm not sure this, I can't

remember.

Maybe coach, I, but I didn't come to you like at a thin air, you know, you get a sense

that he's just, you know, as, as good as he is and as, like, he'd just probably operates

from a default level of being a prick.

Yeah, yes.

Absolutely.

That's, I mean, with this player is all the time.

Absolutely.

I knew, I knew he wasn't going to make it, uh, in the pros.

So this was that, there was a, this is his first year.

So first year, there are no expectations, right?

Like everybody was excited, Rick Patino was going to be the head coach of the Celtics.

Uh, yeah, yeah.

This is going to be fun.

They got, uh, they've got the third pick in the draft, they got the sixth pick in the

draft, you know, didn't, didn't turn out the way they thought it would.

But well, if you trade the third pick in the draft too much into the season, there's

a problem.

Don't worry about that.

Don't worry about that.

You're welcome by the way.

Um, hardy.

Yeah.

So they, they, uh, they had an exhibition game.

I think they were playing in state college.

Okay.

Like who cares exhibition game, October, they lose the game.

All the other players and I can play as play like 18 minutes, they lose the game by

15 patino goes into the locker room, trashes, the locker room throwing stuff around.

And the players are looking around with, what's wrong with this dude?

Yeah.

So he just didn't, he never adjusted, ever, John, I'm telling you, he never adjusted

it.

I saw a deal time to see what you did, NBA pace and to the power that NBA players have

over you.

He still thought, I'm Rick patino.

This is my program and you're going to do what I tell you to you were talking about

his exes and no skill on that whiteboard.

I mean, the problem was that he didn't stop talking.

He didn't let the players go out and do it.

The players that be out there, he'd still be screaming at them.

Go over here, set this screen.

I mean, there was no let up.

It was a beating from the second you signed with that team to the moment you left if he

was in charge.

And you said earlier when you were talking about Minnesota last year, last night, how physical

they were at the Celtics and you don't see that in the NBA.

Another thing you don't see in the NBA hearty pressing.

Yeah.

So his teams with the nicks and with the, they pressed and how if you were, if you were a

seasoned ticket holder for the Celtics and patino was a head coach, you heard two words,

the entire game.

Black, black, black, white, white, white, white.

That was their press.

Yeah.

Either white or black.

Yeah.

He'd hold up his face.

Black, black, black, black, black, white, white, white, white, white, black, players.

Yeah.

He'd be running all over the place.

And I remember they signed a guy named Chris Mills.

I remember that.

Yeah.

It's time to got him Chris Mills NBA veteran to a free agent contract.

He's in training camp a couple of weeks with the Celtics.

He goes up to, he thinks as a veteran, I'll go up to, I'll go up to coach, I'll talk

to him.

Hey coach, you know, you know, just a long season, guys are, you know, a little concerned

that, you know, normally worn out by the time of season starts the long game.

It's eight minutes longer than the college game in a, we got a, oh, you don't like it?

Good to know.

Traded.

I was seriously.

He was gone out of here.

Real fast.

Yeah.

Free agent contract.

Mills goes up to him and says, hey, you know, respectfully coach, no, no, no, no, we're

set up.

You see, it wasn't long.

I, I think it was about a month.

Got him out.

Yeah.

The best part was what Patino would do is he'd sign guys that he liked, like there was

this guy named Travis Knight went to Yukon, he, he traded like five guys to clear up enough

cap room to bring in Travis Knight.

Who's a terrible center?

Except he did.

And then he signed Travis Knight to like a five year contract.

Seven.

So who's a seven?

Even better.

Seven years.

Seven years.

And this is before, you know, people were giving out that kind of length and contract.

No, here's a funny part of the story.

He did not clear up enough salary cap space to do it.

So the Celtics agreed to terms with Travis Knight.

Just one of my friends.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They agreed to terms of Travis Knight.

And we're waiting.

Okay.

When's the press conference?

What's going on?

What's going on?

That's right.

I forgot about that.

Yeah.

The problem was.

He didn't have the money.

Patino is not an idea.

Is that going into the store?

I'll take that TV.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

Okay.

He's tired of paying.

I have a TV now.

Hold on.

How much is him?

What?

Well, you know, let me, uh, why don't you put down a layaway for a second?

I'll come back.

I'm going to come back with my boys despite all of this.

So you couldn't tell him anything because he thought ego is a man.

He thought he could get.

He thought he could get Travis Knight bring back the actor Rick Fox.

Yeah.

And somebody else.

So he thought he could do that.

And you're like, Amen.

If you're going to have Travis Knight, you're going to have to cut Rick Fox.

You're going to have to cut all these other guys.

Yeah.

We're going to have players.

Oh.

Yeah.

Oh, really?

And so.

So that's how that happened.

I didn't know he was terrible.

I love that.

What's he got there?

He's awful.

Oh, we're only got him for six more years.

And great.

Must have just had a bunch of people.

I mean, obviously, his staff and people to run about it all had to be afraid to talk

to him.

Yeah.

That's what it was.

He surrounded himself with with his guys from Kentucky.

And yes, Ben brought up a guy from Providence.

I mean, just only Rick Patino, like, yes, you're right.

You are, sir.

Hey, but get ready.

Get ready because Rick Patino.

I wouldn't be surprised, John, if they wind up in the final four.

Thank you.

Yeah.

They're moving out.

We got to break.

We'll come back.

We can talk more about them.

We'll also get to the email and everything else.

As men get older, our bodies changed.

energy and reduced gains in the gym, could be due to low testosterone.

And that is something you can change.

Joe Hagerty here, between the car, the ranks, two kids in hockey, and covering hockey myself,

my schedule is absolute chaos.

But a few weeks into Awakened 180, I'm down 20 pounds.

Awakened 180 weight loss dot com.

You know, I got an idea for a vet, the email bit, we should do the email bit.

It's a great idea.

Let's do the email bit.

Oh, we got emails.

You can email me.

I'm John Hardy and 985-the-sportsup.com.

John, what is yours?

John, John, Jaywin.

Jaywin and 985-the-sportsup.com.

And Michael Holly, journalism professor, professor at e-mail.

Lost University dot edu.

Professor Michael.

Prof Holly.

You probably do have one of those fancy edu email addresses.

I do, aren't you?

I do.

Prof Holly.

I think so.

I like that.

Prof Holly.

I was listening.

This is from Timma.

I was listening to McCarthy and Kendra yesterday.

I didn't know those two were on yesterday.

She mentioned that she's always dreamed of being a falconer.

Oh boy.

Yeah.

But did not have the time to commit to working her way up through the different categories

of birds.

Is this that, is this something that Wally can provide a letter of recognition?

Since she's been a frequent guest on the show, help her skip a few levels.

Ah, I see.

You know anybody, John?

No, I do not.

I do not.

Falcon ray.

I don't know.

So there's why, why would anyone, why is it something you aspire to?

I would think most falconers, that's something you fall into.

It's not something you like.

You're a freshman in college.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I want to be a falconer.

I don't see that happening.

It's something that you would only encounter like in a Wes Anderson film.

You know, I could see like there being a falconry club at, at, uh, Rushmore, Rushmore

Academy.

Sure.

That's a good call.

Like, like fantasy novels, like the dark tower.

Right.

Harry Potter.

Sure.

Yeah.

There's a, there's a young falconer in the, in the, in the, like the first, uh, series

of books.

And that's about it.

Yeah.

I mean, there's, there's, there's not the family.

It's not the family business.

No.

If you've got like a weird moment, great uncle, who is like into it, then maybe you could

get into falconry.

But beyond that, who does it?

I mean, the guy at the, at the, at the, at the, at the playoff games when they fly the

bald eagle around, you know, you got him, but there's got to be like seven or eight falconers

in the entire country.

But you need that guy because what happens if that guy's not, he's not available.

You need somebody.

He's got to have that guy's got a backup, right?

But also what a great gig we want a bald eagle, big, uh, bald eagle to fly around the

stadium.

Um, oh, there's like one guy we can get.

How much does he cost?

I don't know.

If that guy told you $20,000 to have you come to the game and that's what you've decided

you wanted.

I mean, no, I'm going to the backup.

What's the, what's the actual service cost?

You know, you're a, you can charge, I don't, but you can charge what you want.

You charge seven of you in the country.

Wait a minute.

I'm going down.

You got, you got five stars on Google.

I'm going to go to the four star.

How do you review a falconer, Michael?

I'm going to go to the four star.

How do you review the falconer?

The night-go-all-in-lid eagle wants to tell him the right.

How do you do that?

Eagle came back.

Seriously.

Hold on.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to Google Falconer review on Yelp.

You do that.

You do that.

I have an email here.

It says morning walldick, what the hell are you wearing?

Did you still a moving blanket from the back of a U-hole?

First of all, with what I'm wearing.

All right.

That is a good quote.

Yeah.

The only time I've ever touched John Wallick is when he is wearing that hoodie because it

looks so soft.

It is.

I didn't touch you today, but I've touched you in the past.

I know.

You just want to feel it.

A marine layer.

Marine layer, like kind of a combination.

Say that again, please.

Jacket hoodie.

Say that again, please.

Marine layer.

You're giving it an extra syllable.

Marine layer.

I thought you were saying Marine.

He was saying he said it three times.

Okay.

Okay.

Marine.

Okay.

Army Navy Air Force.

Marines.

Thank you.

Thanks, Michael.

Anyway, very cozy, very comfortable.

We give it.

You won't read it in a book.

You leave it.

Army Navy Air Force.

Marines.

It's a great place to start.

I like Marine layer.

All those two.

They've had some great commercials over the years.

The Marines specifically.

Yeah.

I'm forces.

Right?

Aren't you shocked that you didn't sign up to space just based on the, uh, based on the

commercials?

Did you talk to recruiters in high school?

Once.

Yeah.

How did that go?

My mom found out it didn't go well.

I didn't go well.

You did what?

Because I didn't just talk to a recruiter.

And there was an invitation to the house.

Really?

Yeah.

Wow.

And I wanted nothing to do with the service people.

Like, what are you doing?

Yeah.

What are you doing?

Yeah.

So.

Okay.

I was, uh, I was suspicious of their, um, of their recruiting because I spoke with one

guy and a buddy of mine, Chuck Cooley.

He was going in like right after high school.

And it did something to help him to have his friends talk to this recruiter.

It's like, hey, if you could talk to him, then, I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

He was going to get, uh, more rations or something of boot camp.

I don't know how it worked.

I said, yeah, I'll talk to him.

And the guy talked to me and he looked at my grazing and looked at my transcripts.

He goes, you know, with your grades and with your background, you could go directly

into like, uh, like the nuclear engineering program aboard like a nuclear submarine.

It's like you've really got.

And while I had, I had only passed my last two math classes in high school calculus,

especially by the good graces and good nature of the teacher, I had no idea what was going

on.

I didn't understand it after week one.

I'm like, and these guys want to put me on a nuclear submarine because they think I'm

good at math.

You want to do this?

Look, you want me to represent this country?

The national defense.

Let me stop you right there.

I'm here from my buddy, Chuck.

So we can, we can do the song and dance.

But let me tell you two things.

I got no business being around anything nuclear.

And also, uh, thank you, but, but no thanks.

But that is a very good marine.

Marine layer.

Where do you have on?

And then they have, I've seen that this is, this has become a thing.

It's kind of trendy.

Now they have a quarter zips.

Yes.

Do you see these quarter zips?

The kind of same kind of construction, same kind of setup.

Quilt to material.

Quilt to.

Yeah.

But now that that guy said moving blanket, I am looking at it.

I can see it.

I can see it.

Yeah.

Should be hanging up on the walls of a freight elevator.

Yeah.

Um, Dave emails in.

Uh, I need help from the panel.

I've had a responsibility, uh, put it upon me.

I'm not sure I'm ready for.

I agreed to be an assistant coach for the eight, uh, and under dead, um, softball girls

when my friend backed out.

I am uniquely unqualified for this job because not only am I terrible at sports.

I'm also terrified of children as I display as a below average parent.

Eight-year-old girls terrify me.

They're not only mean, but they are smarter than me and can easily outwit me.

The teams are very good in dead and softball.

So there's the added pressure of needing to win.

I've been studying the craft of coaching.

And last night I decided I'm going to withdraw all the money I've available.

And flee to Mexico.

Is this an overreaction or do you guys have any advice for me?

Just, uh, just follow the coaching tips of Rick Patino.

We were talking about him.

We're all here.

It works.

Just yelling to kids.

No, he needs, uh, he needs to get one of those parents, right?

Because there's always that parent.

I try to avoid them.

I try not to be that parent.

Okay.

And you try.

You're not going to be friends with them.

I try to be that parent.

But there's always one who is there in any sport.

You're watching basketball.

The parent says, hey, they should be running in this play.

You're watching football.

You know, why aren't they doing that?

Why aren't they running crossers or why are they blitzing so much?

So you got to find the know it all parent.

And ask that know it all parent to be on your coaching staff.

That's pretty good.

That's a good way to manage the parents.

Get the know it all.

Yeah.

Know it all will do all the talking if you're afraid of eight

or eight year old girls.

And then his head.

Rightfully so you can pretend to be doing your job just by doing

scheduling and make sure they're all together.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Just, you know, kind of hurting everything.

But let the know it all do it all.

Right.

Great.

And you can't tell me there's not one because every community has one.

Every community has about two or five of them.

The Mike's sons have ever been a part of has one parent.

Like soccer that will walk up and down the sideline yelling instructions

to his son, even though the coaches on the other side of the field

yelling something different.

Oh, it happens all the time.

Now we're getting a lot of falconry emails.

Okay.

A clearance says RFK Jr.

is a diviner, I believe.

Is that what?

What a diviner.

I have no idea what that is.

Well, I thought of that as like,

divining rods, you know, for looking for water.

But maybe that is another name for someone who handles falcons.

A diviner.

We should look that up.

No idea.

I don't know.

And then Chris said when I was in Ireland, north of Galway,

you can do a tour and walk through the woods with hawks.

Highly recommend doing it if in Ireland.

Now, do you have to be careful of your,

and I know how much you love your dogs, Michael.

Your, your trio of pugs.

Oh, yeah.

You still have three?

I do.

We still have three, shockingly.

Okay.

Now, but even, you know, living in, in Brookline,

there are, you know, there's coyotes.

There's, there's hawks at times.

You have to be careful about letting the dogs out.

Yeah.

Or are you really not very careful?

Just the one on the diaper, right?

That's the one you let outside.

All of them wear diapers.

That's right.

They all do.

All of them at times.

They all wear diapers.

Huh.

I run.

Like, stop sniffing around my rug.

Stop it.

Throw a diaper on that bug.

And we do that too.

We say, hey.

Who let the dog out?

The dog doesn't have a diaper on.

What are we doing?

We know what's going to happen.

Put a diaper on that bug.

So, uh, no, a couple of nights ago, this just happened last weekend.

Uh, my son and his girlfriend, uh, they're outside.

And like, hey, what's that noise?

I said, oh, it's the coyotes.

They said, seriously?

I said, yeah.

Should we be afraid?

No.

There's a matter of fact.

Put the dogs out.

Don't worry about it.

That way, uh, who's, whose dog day is it?

Well, it's just let them out there for a little bit.

But they do.

They like coyotes.

I mean, they like pugs.

Um, but they, it's impressive.

I've seen them a few times or fast.

They're beautiful.

The coyotes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They're really good looking animals.

Every time they see one, I think it's a German shepherd at first.

Right.

Yeah.

Just really a good, strong look.

But they, uh, they kind of hang around at night and they howl.

For like a good three or four minutes.

They're, I don't know.

Well, you know, if it was mating season or something, it was not long ago.

But they're all in the back of the woods.

And my dog thinks that she can scare them off.

And look, if she goes out in the yard and bark, she's got, you know, an impressive sounding bark.

But it's always, it's funny because I've seen them a couple of times in the woods in the back of my house.

And they'll run the other direction and they'll run down toward the end of my street, uh, where Cosmo lives.

Cosmo is 150 pound Bernie's mountain dog.

And I'm thinking, wow, you guys going the wrong way.

If you think you're avoiding any trouble here, do not go to Cosmo's house.

150 pound dog.

That's an enormous dog.

Now, if Cosmo's mom heard me say that, she would say he is not 150 pounds.

He's 132.

Okay.

He's big fella.

After the first hundred, I don't think it matters all that much.

Big boy.

Yeah.

Big boy.

Impressive.

Gentle, but if a coyote gets in his yard, he has a different demeanor.

All right.

Joe Hagerty here.

Between the car, the ranks, two kids in hockey, and covering hockey myself, my schedule is

absolute chaos.

But a few weeks into Awakened 180, I'm down 20 pounds.

Awakened 180, weightloss.com

All right.

It is time for the stack.

You hear on toucher and hearty without Fred.

I think Fred's back on Thursday.

You guys are together Thursday and then you're gone.

Yeah.

Do you watch Jack Reacher?

Yes, John.

Yes, I do.

Do you know about your boy being in trouble?

No, I did not.

Who's in trouble?

Alan Richardson.

Do you know who that is?

Yes, he's the guy who plays Jack Reacher in the, it's not called Jack Reacher, it's just

Reacher.

There have been three seasons of it so far.

Now, the Jack Reacher movie with Tom Cruise was not well received because Jack Reacher

is supposed to be this mythically large person.

Jack Reacher is about 6'4", 250 pounds.

Well, he's not anything because he's made up.

In the stories by Lee Child.

Why you have to be so technical?

Because he's hearty and he's a pain in the ass.

Why he's supposed to be a large figure and people didn't like that Tom Cruise was cast

in the movie role.

Correct.

But the TV show is doing a better job.

Yes.

All right.

Well, much better.

All right.

There is video of him beating up one of his neighbors in Tennessee.

There's a clip on TMZ and you could see him apparently going toe-to-toe with this guy while

there are two kids who are reportedly the actor's children watch what's going down while

they're on their little motorbikes.

The alleged victim Ronnie Taylor told TMZ this started Saturday when Ellen was riding his

green Kawasaki through the Nashville suburb.

And the neighbor says that Alan, your Jack Reacher guy, was going too fast and revving his

engine disturbing the piece.

So he flipped him off and then a Jack Reacher flipped him off and then Sunday around noon.

He gets out on his motorbikes again with his kids.

The neighbor says, can you effing stop this, please?

And that's when Alan punched him and they started fighting and then the guy fell off his

bike and he tried to run away and it's this whole thing.

So the police were called.

The neighbor accuses Jack Reacher of hitting him at least four times while he was on the

ground, which left him with facial bruising cuts.

He has photos.

This appears to be a real thing job.

This appears to be a big ass lawsuit coming.

You said Jack Reacher.

Well, I don't know this actor is.

I'm Jack Reacher.

No, this guy's been in a bunch of smaller parts.

Like he was in the last fast and furious movies as in a smaller role.

He's done a bunch of small things.

Now, is this something that Jack Reacher himself would do or is he more of a...

More of a thoughtful character.

No, he's a large man.

And if you stand up to him and give him attitude, the threat of violence is certainly possible.

What do you put?

What do you hit a man who's down on the ground?

No, he would not.

Well, the neighbor should have not.

After the man who's down, after the man who's down, Jack Reacher would have let him be.

That's only in a hockey fight.

Yeah, in a street fight.

Yeah, I don't care for this.

Are there rules in a street fight?

Like he's down?

Like you're just...

I'm dumb out just punching somebody.

You're asking me?

Well, we can't.

Now, John can speak eloquently.

Oh, God.

I sure.

Bring it open hard to you.

It's got all kinds of experience.

Oh, all right.

The last time you were in a fight, when you had him, you had that guy down.

That guy was on the ground.

Did you say, okay, that's enough?

Yes, because it was my son.

Okay.

And that's a perfect way to end it right there.

Well, we don't even need to say anything else.

We all have, like, similarly aged sons, right?

In a couple of years, we do.

And at some point, they want to try death.

Yes.

You got to put him in a headlock.

That's how you got to let him go.

Yeah, the wrestling is always fun.

Sometimes you got to let him know.

That's true.

And I put him down.

Yeah.

And, you know, he was kind of laughing.

I think he was surprised at the ferocity of the takedown.

And how quickly it happened.

And then, guess what happens?

Mom comes in alone.

Yeah.

What's going on in here?

I said, the boy wanted to take a shot at the title.

And he's obviously not ready.

You know, hopefully one day he will be.

But now we're right now.

You think George Jefferson had to fight his kid?

You think that ever happened?

George, George could dance.

But George could, George could show them hands.

What was that?

What was the son's name?

There were two different actors who played him.

What was the son's name?

What was the son's name?

Lionel.

Lionel.

I remember saying Lionel.

Yeah, I'm confusing it with Lamont.

That was...

I'm thinking the same.

Yeah, that's right.

Lionel, wouldn't Lionel dating Jenny from upstairs?

Lionel was their kid.

Jenny.

Tom and Helen.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jenny.

Yeah, weren't they dating?

Helen, who in real life is the mother of?

Ooh.

Oh, Lenny Kravitz.

Very good.

Well done.

And we will explore that more on Wednesday when my dog really joins us again.

And we've got a great game on touch.

There's a great game on Wednesday coming.

That's a, that's a 12 set.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That eight o'clock game.
