Well, we're having the discussion about, you know, that flag football event that was taken place earlier or over the weekend and kind of discussing all the feedback and the highlights and everything that came along with it. By the way, fun fact, RG three is actually received an offer to try out for the flag football, the US flag football team. Apparently a dance. Oh, that's exciting. They have some world championships this summer in Germany. And so RG three is going to get an opportunity to try out for it. And if that's a case, I mean, why don't we just call this the big three? Like if that's what we're doing, because it just feels like this, this is almost an opportunity for players that aren't in the league to maybe get back in and get one more moment of glory. And so then I just, it feels like one more moment. It's got squeeze that last one. I got a squeeze. I mean, RG three is doing great. He's, you know, he's, he's broadcasting at Fox. He does great. Like that should be enough.

Like I mean, everything didn't work out in Washington, but getting lined is not not his fault. Bad stuff happened. Bad luck. But you know, he wants to go do the, the flag football thing. And so maybe to work out for him. But one of the other stories that we were kind of discussing is, you know, Tom Brady's desire to be a part of it. And you wonder whether or not he's still got the itch. And Tom Brady was talking with CNBC and they asked him whether or not he's given any consideration or reached out about a potential return to the NFL. And he had this to say, funny enough, you ask, I actually have inquired and they don't like that idea very much. So I'm going to leave it at that. We explored a lot of different things. And I'm very happily retired. Let me just say that too. So I love being out there playing in the flag game. I love not getting hit. I've got a lot of really fun things I'm involved in. And it's never going to be old, you know, and get old thrown passes to

incredible athletes on the football field. But if anything, that game reconfirmed to me that I'm very happy in my retirement. So when he says that the NFL didn't like the idea very much, a league spokesperson told CNBC that there would also quote be salary cap issues. If an active player who owned a stake in a team, I decided to want to come back and play whatever that means. I'll just do it myself. OK. Well, I'm also thinking like, all right. So we inquired about coming back, but he's happily retired, but he inquired about coming back. So you're not happily retired. It's a contradiction, and it's a nothing more on two. And even then, it's like, all right. Well, if we dig into that more, oh, we don't know no digging that more. OK. Well, it's just like, why didn't they dig into that more for did they? We just didn't play it. I just, I just also wonder.

I mean, I don't think there's any way that the league would let a guy, even if it's a minority owner, go back and play. There's just, there's too many things. Would that would be a conflict of interest, you'd think. And that's where, you know, again, I don't know if he was trying to inquire about going back and playing for the Raiders. And this is really venturing into Jackie Moon territory with Will Ferrell and semi-final. I'm just, I'm just saying, man, it feels like preventing towards a real life Hawaiian tropics, you know, movie clip where I mean, Will Ferrell comes in and plays as well. Maybe plays Tine End or something for the Raiders, but that's, that's where my mind goes. I'm like, what are we doing? Like, why hanging up in the first place? Grunkhouse. And great. And I get it when like Fox has that job waiting for you. I get why it's enticing too. I mean, that's one of the crazy things is what 37.5 million is getting paid per year. Yeah. I mean, there's guys who are making now in the 40s, 50s. Like we just, you know, bigger may feel rumored to reset the market at the quarterback

position at like 62. It's the last report I saw about that. Did he make it anywhere close to 37 in his career, playing football? I think there's a couple of years where he was kind of around that or maybe above that. But, but, you know, the point is he's probably looking at saying like, yeah, I could go in for a few years and make that much. You know, especially get those guarantees. Kirk Cousins just got it at his stage of his career, often injury with Atlanta. You got 90 million guaranteed. So there's, there's definitely things he's better than them at his age. I mean, that in mind, like he, in his mind, and you could tell by the way, he was throwing the ball in that flag game, he clearly believes he's still got it. The inquiry is again, I mean, I was joking. I'll do it myself. The inquiry of couldn't, you know, coming back with that be plausible. I would assume would be what you're asking.

Am I able to come back and play for my team like the team? I can't imagine that he would fix his face to say, can I come back and be a free agent or somebody wants me to come help their team? Can I go play for them? I can't see him that there's no way that could be sensible. It would have to be the Las Vegas Raiders. And could he come back and and see if he could help them? And with that being said, you guys have the number one pick. So unless you're not a buyer in Fernando Mendoza, like, or, or Lofsky. And, but then you would be hiring Ty Simpson to, to be your quarterback at one. I don't, all I'm thinking right here right now is it is a, it is a contradiction to here. You say, I, you know, I asked about being able to come back.

But I'm happily retired. Like, no, you're not. Well, what are you going to frame it as? I'm coming back as a necessity. Nobody needs you. The league does not need them. Damn. No, no, no, no, no, like, understand this. That is not geared towards being a slight towards Tom Brady. The shield is the superstar of the National Football League. That will never be a singular brand that, that is going to make or break how the shield operates and how it works. It went from Tom Brady to what Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers to Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes and, and now it's like Josh Allen. Like, there's always going to be the next man up. And so there's no reason to stress yourself out, Tom. Like the league is going to be just fine without you, bro.

It ain't hurting businesses up. We were just talking about valuations of teams and it ain't slowing down. The league didn't take a large step back when Tom, you know, went into retirement. It's, it's just not, it's just not a good way. All right. So Philip Rivers comes back and, you know, it was, it was kind of a joke to me. Like, really, I don't think he looked bad, man. People were trying to be positive about it, but it's all qualifiers. He's got 1100 kids. He's got to get new health insurance. What do you want from that? I mean, great for him. Here's the problem when, when Riley Leonard came back in, in, in the way he played and pushed the ball down the field, you're kind of like, like, what were, what, why do we bring back to what it was like? Like, I mean, that was, that was my honest take on that is I'm not sure what the hell Chris bowed and Shane Stuyke and saw where they didn't want to give Robert Leonard a chance.

And who knows what would have, you know, happened the end of that season. The, at least the way he played in the final game, like, I, I just watched it. I'm thinking myself, what, wait, what, why did you, why did you feel like you couldn't put Riley Leonard in based on how he played? He played great on the stretch or that, you know, final game. I would have been like, release me, y'all, like, uh, excuse me. Can, can we talk? Okay. So I heard through the locker room, I won't say no names, but I heard that you guys are contemplating bringing Philip Rivers in to play on this team. I heard he was here for a try out. I heard he was in meetings. I'm just, you know, as a professional, he seemed like he was pissed at the time. He was playing as a cool, but he seemed like as a professional. Like, can you guys, uh, release me? Can you trade me? Like, because what you're doing is, is embarrassing me. And, and for me, as a professional who puts in a lot of time and a lot of

effort to be what I can be to be on your roster and back up our starter, uh, you're supposed to be prepared for your opportunity. When you hired me, you're hiring me, saying that I need to be prepared for the opportunity. And in the case that our starting quarterback goes down, he did go down. And you're bringing back a guy who's coaching football. That's, that's like not in shape. He's old. And that's what you're going with. Like, and sometimes we don't get that deep into the story, but I mean, imagine the impact that had on him, you know, but anyways, that's, that's off to a, to a whole another topic. But I, I think in Tom Brady's case, watching the way that do was, doing his timing, the dude was dialed in.

Like it was not casual at all. This was not, oh, I'm happily retired. It's just nice to get out here, get the ball in my hand. Oh, throw some big gay on it. Oh, like, let's go get a beer, guys. Like, grunk looked like the retired dude that was playing flag football. He pulled his hammy. I think grunk pulled his hammy. He was drinking beers, pulled his hammy every day. He was dehydrating because he's boozing. But Tom Brady was out there, deal. Okay. So let me ask you this, because I, I think, and I asked you this earlier in the week, but you got to fish up at this point. Okay, enough's enough. Was it the leg sleeve or the glasses? Yeah, I want to know because something, but one of those two things, I think you definitely the leg sleeve to me. It's definitely the leg sleeve. Like what a brunt. Like come out. You could have had on some sneakers, bad.

Like this dude came out like it was the super bowl. And I mean, he's a winner. He's, he's the ultimate winner. I mean, he's, I mean, he's got more. They didn't win. They got the rasses. Yeah, but I'm saying, period, like, in retrospect, which makes it, which makes it really funny. It makes it funny that they got their asses kicked because he is the ultimate competitor, ultimate winner coming out there. And he came out there to win and they didn't win. But I don't, you know, to me, again, and it proves the point flag is different than, than regular football. Cause if by standard, we're say, okay, flag football, people won in this game. Why aren't you looking for people who are good at flag football to play in regular football? Why does that become like a trend?

You know what I mean? Like, I don't, it's, it's very different. So the skill sets, the things that, that you do to be good at flag. It's just, it's different than regular football, like some people think, oh, well, it's past. It's catches receivers, it's quarterbacks, but, and that's true. But it's still, there's different nuances to how you do different sports. And flag football to me is a different sport than tackle football. So, but anyways, Tom Brady, you're not happily retired. I don't know what it is that is, is in your system or in your mind that you're, you're fighting for, fighting through. But if you want to give me a call, somebody plays you this segment, you know, you want to text me up or get my number from somebody, hit me up, man. We can talk, like we can talk through it. Look, I think if he comes, it's okay to move on, it's okay to move on. But if he, if he doesn't want to move on, he wants to come back and play. That's cool too. But I don't understand the, yeah, I reach, I reach time to move on.

Okay, but if he can still play and you, and, and you have a window of time here, that you can still do it at a somewhat high level, I'm okay. That when Philip Rivers came back, I thought it was awesome. Look, they, they're cool. He wants to come back and play. It was a fun story. I need apples and it was cool for a week. But again, then when you saw the contrast of what Riley looked like, I was like, oh, all right. Now, maybe they heard through like, I don't know why the Colts didn't get more flag for that. It kind of got swept under the rug. It did. It was like, because you got people like Jonas out here. Well, I really like to see. If he can still play, let him play like, what do you understand? Like, like, bruh, like at some point, Mufasa is not going to be able to maintain the pride, bruh. There's going to be a younger, stronger line that comes over and takes all of them, them line, this isn't and gets rid of all his cubs. Like, you're not going to be able to protect the pride forever. You're going to have to leave. You got to leave them young lines are coming.

Like, that's just the law of nature. Like, it's time. When it's time, it's time, you know, then that's the reality of it. And it's always been that way. And it's always going to be that way. It's inevitable for every single athlete to transition into being a washed athlete. Like, that's the bottom line. That's just, listen, if Tom, if you're listening to this, you probably are accepted. If you want, if you want to come back, man, I support you. And, and you can wear whatever you want. You can wear leg sleeves, reflective sunglasses. You can take out a dongey. I did the leg sleeve. Bobby so much, Jonas. It didn't bother me. I felt like it bothered Lavar because I, oh, you like to wear legs that didn't bring up. Here's the thing is, you and I, we've never seen Jonathan Schwartz. I guarantee you, I guarantee you he's wearing leg sleeve. Or he's got a leg sleeve on underneath his jeans. No, it's too baggy. And he's, he's waiting, he's waiting to break it out. At some point, he sees a two baggy from my calves.

Yeah, it would fall off. Yeah, there's no, I, there's nothing going on those legs. At all times, Jonas has never worn a pair of shorts. Now that you mentioned it, I've never seen his legs. Not that I've ever paid attention to the idea of having seen your legs. Or, yeah, man, that was a very, very, yeah, hate at that moment. I just hated that moment. Really bad. Is that a vampire quality, though? Like the, now that I think about any vampire, I've never seen a vampire. He's like, yeah, what vampires are wearing? Vampire shorts. Yeah. Dang it. Lost boys, weren't they, weren't they on a beach? And they always had like Jean Jack, not over thinking about it. Like they never wore shorts. Damn, right. It's the way we operate. Dang. That's interesting. But the, the other thing too is that when I do wear shorts of outside, like you'll never find with my shirt off, it's never going to happen. So I've got to wear like a, like the closest all come to a pool.

Yeah, but I, but I wear a, like a shirt top on. When I go, when you go into the pool, yes. Like a, a, a swim type shirt top on, you, you're one of those guys. Yeah, I have to, you're one of those guys. Look, I told, I told you guys, I told you guys the story. Bro, you, you, you, that you're different. Well, there, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a family history that needs to be accounted for. That, you know, nox is in the sun, not great. Could end up really poorly. And so there's been, you know, I've had to get some things removed and whatnot because the sun doesn't cooperate with me. So, but hey, I, I was just letting nature take its course, bro. Sorry. Yeah, but you don't have to worry about that. I don't have, I don't have that worry in that category, but I'm just saying if it was a different category where what applies here and, and how you're saying justification of what you're doing, I'm taking the physical challenge. Yeah, I listen.

I'm not going to get melanoma. And then when I get to the gate, say, you know what? Raging waters was worth it. That's why it was your kid at Raging Waters was worth it. He's got to learn sooner or later. I pay, I bought the tickets. You don't like the attire? Go find a new parent. Dolls have to translate that. I cannot believe you're one of those guys. Yeah, I have to. I haven't even put a shirt on a health concerns. Like, you know, you're, you're, you're, uh, you're a, let's see, is what you are. What's that mean? Oh, listen, yeah. Oh, you know what it is. You said, we'll see. I have not worn a shirt on a swimming pool since I was probably five or six years old, like, sunburn for being in Florida. And I think my mom maybe put on like a white t-shirt to go in because it was, we went to play in the pool. There was still so Sun Mix. Oh, what's out of t-shirt? I mean, this is a... No, no, no, no, no. It's design of that with no sleeves. Jonas, we understand.

But you're not at C World working in like the, the dolphin exhibit, where you're in the water with the dolphin. Like we get it. You're not surfing. Like, this is, this is an all-time move on your part. Yeah, and it's correct. You're a hundred percent of leg sleeve guy to no, I don't have leg sleeves. I don't. I mean, I'll get some if you want. You're a 100% a woman. That's what you are. Every every precaution and step that a woman goes through and pre and dorm. So every time you get a pool, you put one of these swimsuit things on. Yeah, by the way, Tony rumble gets $10 million a year. I'm getting a sex change. Yeah, at a context, but no. It's got no sleeves, but it's got no sleeves. So and it's very tight wearing it, Jonas, because I can't get I can't get the the front in the bag. It can't be exposed to sun. Telling you, but your arms can be. So your arms are built different than the rest of you.

Correct. Weird man. I'm telling you. It's probably not a comfortable conversation to have on air, but I'll text you guys, you know. Yeah, no, I get I get the whole what you're going with and that, but I don't that's it's weird, bro. Yeah, weird. I don't tell you what's not weird. Yeah, you're a Lucy. Yeah, got your a C right here. Right there. Yeah, right there. That's what that is. See that right there. It's fine. Rock, the rock, the rock, the soft ass. Damn. What a soft serve syrup.

Jonas is behind the scenes asking the questions that need to be answered. Yes. I can promise you that. Hey, it's a tough call, right? Yes. That's a conundrum. What are you asking? That's a far out. Also, he doesn't want to share with us. No, no, no. He's probably mad at us. I'll do it. How do I wear a sleeveless shirt at the pool? That is correct. Yes. It's designed. It's SPF 50. Got on Amazon and it worked wonders. That's the movement. Are people asking on social media? Is that the issue here? What's going on? Can they see your nipples? You probably could have you get close enough. When you put it on, do you feel like this isn't natural? It's not a great look. It's not a great fashion choice, but there's the alternative.

I don't want to deal with that. You're acting like there's 100% chance, dude. I went to a dermatologist years and years ago. I had to get probably 9 or 10 moles cut off my body because they were approaching the danger zone. I just thought, you know what? I don't want to deal with that. I'm not going to take any chances. It's in that area. That was from going to the pool. That was from Sun exposure and not understanding how that stuff works. It's a real thing, man. You've gone serious. You've gone down serious. You didn't want to have that conversation, but that's a real thing. I didn't want to have that conversation. Yeah. It's a real thing. Why did Lavar want to have that conversation? It's not an issue for him. Yeah. You can't relate. You're not relatable when it comes to it. You can't understand his problems.

I've been in some extremely sunny situations. And I got to tell you, I put no suntan lotion on. Ever. See, you never understand our people. Yeah. What do you mean? I have gotten burnt before, though. And I am supposed to put suntan lotion on when the UV is at certain levels. But I just don't know, you know, I don't know. You don't get what white people go through. You don't get it. I absorb. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. I get what you said. And I see what you did there. I see what you did there, too. You know, don't worry. I know. Joe, can we get an update from last night's last night's first half of the 316? Well, what exactly happened last night? Yeah. So let's give an update for everybody wondering what we can do. Forget the music one again. Around Paul Rocket. It feels like it's appropriate for the segment. So Levar. You can answer the poll question. Yeah, please. You can answer the chat, but.

So we have some round ball rock. What are you doing right now? No way. You do not believe that, Levar. Yes. You do not. I do. I do not. I disagree. All right. So that being said, we have got some round ball rock right around the corner. No stone unturned here on this show. this show. Yes! Because it's brought to you by the Home Depot for any job at every budget the Home Depot has pro prices that help boost your business plus and lock even more ways to save when you join a pro extra. So every job stays on track brought to you by the Home Depot. Yes! So last night. It just makes you feel so good on the inside, man. Yes! In the West region, the 11-seed, the Texas Long Horns, and the number two-seed Purdue boiler makers battled it out. It was

a back-and-forth affair, a late tip in by Purdue, and a long shot. Ended the run for the 11-seed Texas Long Horns who started in Dayton, but ended last night courtesy of Purdue, a big win for the Big Ten. Elsewhere, the Iowa Hawkeyes, led by friend of the program Ben McCollum, get a 77-71 win over Fred Hoyberg and Nebraska. Yes! If you're wondering where did three of those 77 points come from? Well, it's easy. There were four players on the floor for Nebraska, which was one short to stop a long throw and an an-one situation, and the Iowa Hawkeyes advance. Silos and crop circles for everybody. The Hawkeyes advance with the Iowa State Cyclones coming up later on. Elsewhere! Number two Houston in the South region. Tried to channel their inner final four run against Duke,

where Duke melted down. The problem was you're gonna need more than 55 points to do that against a Big Ten powerhouse like Illinois. The fighting ally and I roll on. Number three Illinois, a ten-point victory, 65-55, and the game of the night as it pertains to this show. Yesterday you heard it. The line in the sand was drawn. Brady Quinn took the Arizona Wildcats money line. Lavar Arrington in support of the I ties and the World Baseball Classic run took John Calipari and the Arkansas Razorbacks. And Lavar Arrington had you taken the point spread and the point spread was Arkansas plus 22. You would have won, but you didn't. It's a money line and it was the worst loss in the history of John Calipari's NCAA tournament career. And that concludes a look back at last night

sweet 16 action right here on Fox Sports Radio. Yeah, Ronald applause. Well done, Jonas. Well done, Jonas. I'm not sure there's much more left to be said about that one. I mean, we talked in depth about Arizona and Arkansas. Arizona looks to be the playing the best basketball of any team right now. For Iowa, they've been fun to watch. They've been kind of hanging on. I feel like the match up versus Illinois is going to be tough to get to the final four. I'm not betting against them. It's been a fun ride for all those Hawkeye fans. What was it? Third, it's been 30 years since they got to it's sweet 16. I'd have to look up when the last time is they've gotten to a final four, but congrats to the Hawkeyes as they've been. You know, it's funny. Like we act like because they're a part of the big 10. This isn't a Cinderella run. Like we, we have to be a smaller school, a group of five, at least that's how they determine in college football. But a smaller mid major, it has to be one of those schools that make a run. I don't understand why we don't look at a team like Iowa, where it's been 30 years

since they made a sweet 16 and go, yeah, this is a bit of a Cinderella store this year. And maybe because friend of the program, Ben McCollum came on with us, you know, obviously we're pulling for him, rooting for him. But at the same time, maybe this there'll be more consistency. We'll see Iowa more involved in deep runs in the term of the future. But as of right now, it's got a little bit of the feelings of kind of like an Indiana, you know, if they could pull this thing off, beat Illinois, get to the final four, you never know what can happen. The shortest odds to an international title right now are the Arizona Wildcats and plus 240. So if you're believing they look good, they look really good. Michigan sitting at plus 350 and Duke sitting at plus 370. If we were one of these candy asses that couldn't just accept the reality of our bad picks, we would do our second chance bracket. Maybe we'd have one of these teams winning it all. What a joke. Um, by the way, you want to hear what else is a joke. So we've got Michigan state and Yukon coming up later on. And that's obviously Tom is on Danny Hurley. They're going to be going at it. Or is it Dan? I don't know.

I call him, you know, Danny. Uh, but well, we sit with a little Danny for, for Levar. We're finished with little Danny Schneider. Yeah. So you can't, you can't call him Danny. I don't think he gets to call him Danny early. So Charles Barclay kind of defended plate big. He kind of defended Tom iso and just sort of his coaching style and whatnot. There's been this discussion. We talked a little bit about Kurt Signetti sort of having an old school approach. People look at Dan Hurley. They think he has an old school approach. And so Tom iso was asked about just sort of his approach and what he's seen since he's taken over. He pointed out years ago, he, you know, his team lost on the on rebounding one night. They got wiped out rebounding wise. And the deficit was significant. So he had his players practice and shoulder pads. And they had fun with it and whatnot. But he also alluded to the fact that, you know, they had to get rid of the footage because people were, you know, filing complaints and whatnot and all this stuff is like, we just couldn't do what we did back then. So he had the conversation about coaching against Danny Hurley who's got a similar style.

The comments from Charles Barclay and what he has seen all these years into his time at Michigan I've mellowed some because you have to mellow at the times, you know, if you think it's easy to get to a sweet 16, a lead eight, a final four in a national championship. And you think and there are a couple of coaches, you know, that can do it maybe with more talent or different ways. Mike's a good example since he's been the greatest of all. The first of my coach against Mike Shoshesky, I looked down and when he got on a knee and said something, I go, wow, he's no different than me. He just wins more games so he can be calmer than me, but he's awesome. You know, he gets accountable. He did it. It just hasn't changed. It's just some of us do it by putting our hands up. Some of us do it in different ways. How about this? If you all think and fans think and media thinks accountability is important, let's just make our kids accountable. And after that, everything's cool. So there we go. Bravo. Exactly how it should be done. Enough of the ass

kissing. Enough's enough. People got to stop worrying about what's being said. And Danny Hurley even said this when they asked him about, he goes, just because you see the interactions I have with those kids, you don't get to see the joking around the other stuff that goes on when the cameras aren't on and where it practiced behind closed doors, you just get to see that and everybody just assumes that it's red ass all day and they're just chewing into these players. And Tom is only the point he goes, man, I have a lot of guys who stay at school. I have players who still come back. They're not doing that if they had such an awful experience during his entire time there. So doesn't make any sense to me. Yeah. I mean, I kick one of his team as players out though. I'm just saying they come back, but sometimes they act out too. And he wasn't being accountable in that moment. The guy that came back, but go, go, go, go, go. Thank you. No, as you say, I think that's that's part of this is it feels like because they're old school and this is how maybe we experienced coaching and so forth that, you know, these old school

coaches have to adapt. I just think they have to find the kids who are looking for what they're providing. You know, and it's the right fit, the right culture fit. I was listening to a podcast that PJ Fleck was on yesterday. And he was talking a lot about the culture that he had built up, but over his career and time, just going from Western Michigan to Minnesota and that journey in and of itself. And the whole road, the boat that, you know, is one of his mantras. And you know, listening to him talk about it, one of the things that, you know, he made very clear was like, I'm not for everyone. And he said, and every recruit isn't always on our radar because, you know, we will know very quickly whether or not that individual will be a right fit for us. And I think there's, there's elements to that that are becoming very apparent. And I think there's a lot of athletes out there that, you know, they, they might want to be a part of Michigan state's tradition, their history, their basketball program, obviously, has been pretty successful. But are they willing to sacrifice like what it takes to be a part of that? And I think that's a hard

thing for young people to do nowadays, where it felt a lot different in the past for us because we didn't have as many distractions. We didn't have as many comforts. But that's one of those deals that I think this ultimately gets to is like, are you willing to give something up? Are you willing to sacrifice, you know, ultimately what it takes to be a part of those programs? And are you willing to sacrifice your ego, your pride? Everything that's built you up to this point when you go into a college program, you know, where you're talked about in high school as the greatest thing ever. And the truth of the matter is what is one of the biggest differentiators is like the development that takes place in college. And we probably don't talk about this enough. You know, when you're 17, 18 years old and you go to college, you know, you can say by definition when you're 18, you're a man, right? But the truth of the matter is there's a ton of physical development, mental development, spiritual development that takes place over that period of time. Like to me, there is a bigger, jump from going high school to college initially. And what you become initially, what you are initially in college and what you eventually become, then from college to the NFL in that regard.

Like when you get in the NFL, you're already a grown man. Like you've developed physically about as much as you're going to develop, you know, unless you lead when you're 20, you know, which is very rare. And you look at some of these NBA players who get into the league when they're 18, 19, like that's different. But I think you get my point. Like there's grown men you're playing against. And when you get in the NFL or you're getting the NBA, like at that point, they're all kind of grown men. It's just guys who figured out how to be a pro guys who figured out how to execute or guys who continually, you know, build on their craft. And so I look at like young people now when you see hard coaching, when you see coaches like like Tom is you hear them speak, they're oftentimes trying to preach to the fact that like all these stars, all these guys who are the best from wherever they were from who get to go to their program. There's a process to it. There's a development to it. And it's like they kind of got to check their ego and everything out the door and sacrifice something in order to be a part of it to be able to build back up to what they ultimately can be. So that's always what I think of when I hear Tom is I speak and even Dan

and Dan Hurley is in a tremendous job bringing guys into a very hard coaching environment to, you know, help them win championships. I like old school coaches. I like old school coaching, but times have changed and and I agree with you on on the development part. I think I think it is a bigger jump for a 17, 18, 19 year old to go to college rather than, you know, those guys who are heading into the league because you've already dealt with pre pre adulthood, you know, I call college pre adulthood, you know, once you lead college, then you're you're transitioning into it, you know, you don't get to hit reset per se. You're in it, you know, that's that's life. You're living life now. College is still a little bit simulated. It's still a little bit protected. You do get different semesters like, okay, I didn't do as well this semester. You get to run it back, you know, and sometimes people stay a little bit longer, you know, it takes a little bit longer for them to develop, but you know, there's something to be said about old school coaching. You also

hit on a very, very good point, a big point actually in terms of development. You have to accept being able to go through the journey of discovering who you are. And if you're not forced to do that, if you're not, it's like weightlifting. It's like growing a muscle. If you're not willing to push through the discomfort and the pain that it takes to build it, you're never going to maximize what the potential of it can be. And if you don't have a coach that understands the value of applying pressure, but at the same time, understanding and knowing your, your players, I think we heard somebody, a sound bite say that like as a coach, I know my players. I know the ones I can go harder on. I know the ones I need to love on more, you know, whatever it may be, you develop a relationship and you understand the dynamic of your, you know, your players and

the relationship you have with them. I just feel like that's that's very difficult these days, because while there isn't, there wasn't as many distractions because there was no NIL when we were in school. I'd ultimately say there are more, there are more opportunities now than what there were before, more choices. You don't have to like, guys feel like I don't have to like, okay, you want me to do this. You want me to push and run and do that. I don't feel like doing that today. Well, you will do it today or you're not going to play. Okay. I'm going to hit this transfer portal and there's going to be somebody there that's not only going to be there to receive me. They're going to pay me and they might pay me more than what you guys are paying me. It just seems as though being an old school coach is like having a signaty way. It's going to be challenging and it's going to be difficult because there's going to be more often than not times where young men

aren't willing to go through the fire because they don't feel like they have to. And that's a sad commentary to think that you'd rather go around or go an alternate direction other than straight through. And that's what you used to have to do with these hard-nosed coaches that gave you tough love and all those different things that were connected to your development and your growth. Do you think the old school coaching style is not making a comeback for lack of a better term or do you think two faces already out of the tube? And we're never going back to what it was. I stopped coaching high school because of it. Well, like if you look, I was called a bully. I was lightweight called a bully at that where I was at as a hate coach. And I'm far from a bully. Well, I saw from a bully because if Kurt Signetti is doing the things that he's done with that style, I would look at that as, hey, man, if you want to be like this kid from Michigan state that we talked about, I mean, he was a really highly rated transfer. He comes in. He's wearing gold

cleats and he gets ripped to shreds and he's told to change before he comes in. To me, I look at that and I go, if if that is the standard of college football now based on what they've done, he's what 27 and two in two seasons at IU, if that's the standard, then that would lend to be good news for the old school style because that's that's showing you. Amen. That stuff still plays like that still works in today's in today's era of coaching. If you've got that mentality and a guy that is on earlier, the most of the most talented. There are a lot of guys that end up being special players that aren't stars players. I mean, JJ what comes to mind and Antonio Brown, just right off the top of my head, they come to mind. There are there are guys, many of guys that that aren't highly rated guys. So now that's where it comes down to your talent evaluation. Like talent doesn't beat out skill. Like skill outweighs talent. And so to me,

if you're getting and listen, you can't you can't win with a Joe over a pro either. So you got to find a a perfect balance as a coach. Oh, guys that are hungry enough not being the top rated a five star fully, holy, moly talented, talented guy and fine guys who are hungry and are okay with being coached hard or okay with being in an environment where iron sharpens iron. You have those guys still exist. It's not that they're all gone. It's just that you got a lot more divas. And maybe, you know, for what is worth the sad part of it is is that I feel like the parents are the biggest issues at the youth and high school levels. So these kids don't even know these young these young athletes don't even know that they're divas because they don't know any different than what they've been brought up in to be. And a lot of times that's the most talented players that you're dealing with. They're divas. It's a diva mentality. And you know, you got to deal with

diva behavior and diva actions when that's what you're you're recruiting. So don't be lazy and just look at who's four star or five star. Get out there and look at the talent and see what's out there. And you'll find guys in the portal. You'll find guys in high school that could come to your program that you could actually coach. It's part of the best part about this area too, right? It's like those guys who can develop. They've got the opportunity to capitalize off that. I think that's one of the running themes. We've seen with the tournament and people who say it's been a concern because we don't get those smaller school runs with guys who maybe need a more time to develop. Maybe it was more academic issues. Whatever the case was when they got to college, they weren't as heavily recruited or they weren't as heavily sought after. Maybe they only had a year start in high school. Again, whatever the case is, you know, they once they would get to that school, they would kind of be stuck. And so you would have, for example, we've talked a lot about Mindville Highell, but a guy like Wally Zurbiac, where when you watched him at the end of his career at Mindville Highell, you're saying, this is an NBA player. Like this guy in today's NIL,

and in today's era, probably would have transferred up to a bigger school. Now I don't want to I'm not speaking for him. I'm just saying he, I'll put it this way. He would have had the ability to transfer up to a bigger program at bigger school. And so at least there's that opportunity for them now, which comes with a bunch of other, you know, things you have to deal with at those blue blood programs, but ultimately again, like kind of blending what we talked about with Kirk Sinetti, blending what we're talking about now with Tom iso. And even just Dan Hurley and in that matchup, but some of the other programs that are out there, like to me, this is a good thing. Like this is a style of coaching cultures that are going to prepare these young people better for the future of everything that comes their way. And I'm not even talking about in the business world or like professional sports. I'm saying as a husband, as a dad, all of that. Like there are some days where you go through some tough practices, tough whatever else, that callus builds up. And then how that helps you develop that grit, that toughness for dealing

with other like truly tough events, right? Not talking about sports. Like truly using family issues events. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So it's needed. Grow that build that character. Guys don't want to grow that way anymore though. That you like my message. One's a choice. One isn't, man. And you know what? If you have a choice, you have a chance.

You know, after the injury happened, Brady hit me up and said, a what sort of words of encouragement would you give him? And I said, well, thanks for reaching out. Obviously with experience in that department, but as Joni brackets, I was more focused on the tournament, to be honest with you. How did you handle your situation, Joni brackets? Like when

something so crucial and critical happened to you? Well, I'm glad you asked. You know, it was obviously popped out. Very gruesome situation. But they said you finished the game. Oh, yeah, yeah, I took the ball. They said, do you want us to get you an ambulance? I was like, no, give me that ball. And I hit the shot. We walked off. Nice. Nice. Okay. Yeah. But I mean, that's it. We're built different in Monmouth. You know, okay. It's way we work. Yeah, we're we're wide-erp is from that's right. Okay. All right. Nice. Well, Moody's not the only one out on that team. Warriors have a few other key players on injury docket. Jimmy Butler's got the Torney CL Steph Curry has the knee injury and Al Horford is out with his calf strain. So all soft tissue. Tankin. I'll be tankin. Sounds a little soft to me. All right. I do have more news. And then we'll get into some banana talk. Okay. So we all love to fly, especially comfortably. Okay, you guys are a lot taller than me. So I know you have more. You fly today. Yeah. Where are you going?

PA. Of course. I'm really going anywhere. What a bar. Yeah. Where you connect? Where you connect to your side. Chicago Chicago. Oh, oh, hair. Yeah. I heard it's cold over there. That's just a spot, man. Jonas, what should Lavard do during his labor in Oh, hair? Well, go check out the bathroom because they have the automatic seat covers. Yeah, they do. Pretty cool. And then, you know, look at all the flags that are around. I'm more of a midway guy myself. Get in and out a lot quicker, but not as many options. Okay. Well, you guys might be excited to know that United Airlines is now offering a relaxed row where the passengers not only get a whole row to themselves, they also get transformed into a bed for a long flight. I saw that. I saw that. It starts in 2027. So yes, you buy three economy seats and then they upgrade you. You actually get, you get, let's see, it says it comes

with a fitted mattress, blankets, pillows, and travel kits for your kids. And they suggest it for solo travel or for families. Right. This is an effort for airlines trying to get more families traveling. They realize the expense has gotten ridiculous. So they're trying to do their best to make a little bit more comfortable in some of the more premium economy economy classes. But even like the, the economy is kind of going away. Everything is kind of pushing towards premium or first class a bit with a lot of the ticket hikes. I'm not sure if you guys paid attention to this, but it is expensive to find west is I got this extra leg room and all the other things that come along with them, like whatever have, whatever happened. It's the same as what it was. Yeah. Well, it that's all the same. Like it's the exact same plan. They just do the boarding process different. This is a game changer. This thing has like and Lorraine or Craig, if I'm wrong, like the, it almost kicks up like a legrest to create like a flat bed for you. Yeah. So there's a whole support system that's going to come up with the new planes that are coming

out. So yeah, that not only was it literally a mattress, they bring out, they bring out a mattress. Yes. But the feet of that seat come up to give that. I think they're doing on what 200 planes or something like that. Is that what I read? Yeah. It says they have 90 planes launch in 2027 and they hope to have over 200 planes in the skies by 2030. Can we drop some of the gas prices to our radish? Please. Can we drop some of the gas on some of these lights? That's a great point. Thank you. They need to incorporate that, uh, that infrared, you know, blow hole monitors what they need to do. Start banning people for having funky butts on these planes. Yeah. And no smelly snack foods either keep your boiled eggs and subway sandwiches off the plane. Please. I have a horrible sandwich my last time flying. Go. I'm sorry. Oh, no, I was just going to compare it. Did you guys see the other plane suggestion that

they're doing where it's going to be all standing? No. Oh, that looks terrifying. Like on, like on a bus. Yeah. No, like you would not even like on a bus. Like, uh, it kind of has a support between the middle of your legs. And then you would stand to the whole flight. Oh, I'm in that. Yeah. You like standing. Q stands up the whole show sometimes. I tried to. I got back issues. I'm actually I'm dealing with it right now. I don't know what the hell's going on back is Dr. say I need to back it. Maybe you need some potassium. Uh, oh, go ahead. You need some bananas. You need some bananas, Brady. You need a banana. Lorraine. I did. And I had. I went to Disneyland for a Savannah banana day. And they also had a banana. I also had the Indianapolis clowns there, which is actually a legendary Negro league. So it was actually a really fun time. They did a performance up by the castle and they did it over that Negro league. They're bringing it back. They're bringing it back. And I thought it was really. They're bringing the old Negro league back.

Watch them perform. Well, I got to be bringing the Negro league back to perform. You should go look it up. Oh, my God. I don't know about that. Hey, it's Jonas Knox.
