That's that's when that's when he was at his that's when he had his height. That's what that's when everybody was like, he's he's he's the one. PC dropped, what, 2017? Yeah. So I mean, yeah. I mean, do you think he's do you think he's he's kept he's maintained that that that stardom? He's making a start that that quality that quality sound. Cash is global, bro. Yeah, he is for sure. Yeah. In terms of the he's like A-less. Yeah. Easy. Easy. Why why do you why do you think like he don't get talked about like that? In terms of being like, you know what I'm saying? I know, I mean I don't, I mean, whatever. I mean like I'm talking about like drama, nah, you know what I mean. No, no, not drama. Like, no, like we know his music's good, but I'm saying though, like, I mean, I guess because he's not in drama, he's not, he's not in the mainstream. I mean, not mainstream, I mean, like, he's not talked about as much like you know the gunners and all that type of stuff they're talked about, like the babies. Yeah, gunner and them had a Rico charge. You true, true, you know what I'm saying? Like, I mean Gascar he's baby, he definitely goes weight. I think he's he heard that. The baby got canceled, quote unquote, because like he said that that whole situation, you know what I mean, yeah, to a certain community. True. True, and he's and he's still he's still getting number ones. Yeah, right, right. So it's not I'm saying that's why I say quote unquote. I mean, and that in that in that, I guess, would you consider them like the same era, coming up the same era? Or like a little the baby's probably a little after? Yeah, I'm gonna say the because you think me, I I mean, the baby was I mean I would say the baby, bro, like in the south was probably like more known. What you mean? Like I think he was a regionally hot artist. Like 2017. He was like, I would say maybe like end of 2018, probably going to 2019. When did Baby on Baby drop? Like you know what I'm talking about. I'll look it up. I know what you're talking about. I'm gonna look at the biggest. I would say 2018, 2019. You said baby on baby? Like, that was right right around the right before the pandemic is. Yeah. I'm gonna see when addresses. Not baby on baby. I'm saying like his like his first big prior like you know, mainstream, like this shit's mainstream now. No, I know it was baby on baby, it's 2018. 2019, 2019. All right, you see what I'm saying? I know not. 2019. Yeah, and that's when and that's when he got went out of there. That's what I'm saying. Like, at first, I thought he was cool. Yeah. Like, I mean, but I get it. He was more of like a good set, like, you know, a vibe, not a vibe setting, but like a party setting. Yeah, and and he kept like he can rap though. No, he can rap, but he and he also kept like the came kind of uh same kind of cadence throughout his music. People were saying this shit was repetitive. Yeah. But if it's not, bro, like you say. But I mean, at the same time, I'm I mean, I like his more of uh his creative direction on his music videos. His music videos were good. Yeah. My boy, my uh my boy uh Shaq Gonzo used to direct a lot of his videos. With the real goats and stuff like that. Yeah, that Joe. I did fuck with the creative direction heavy. Yeah, absolutely. He he he wasn't his creative bag. Absolutely. I mean, before we jump into the Monday rundown news, I mean how was how was your week? Long week? Long week, yeah, bro. A lot of things coming up, man. Yeah, there's a lot of things moving and shaking, you feel me? We're getting ready for my getting ready for that. It's crazy that the school year is about to start again because we just talking started planning for that back to school drive. Yeah. Year three, and definitely know how to navigate through it now. Yeah, just that you know what I'm saying? Just in that regard. Yeah, it's pretty much clockwork. Like now, it's just a matter of just executing it, executing it. Executing it, absolutely. And like you say, yeah, it's been a long work week, bro. I've been tired, I don't know why. I've just been tired, bro. You were talking about that last week. This week I was just I'm trying to tell you, bro, you're putting in pain. Like I was I was slump, bro, early. Like last night I was slump. You feel me? I hit I ate that little uh hit the Chinese lantern festival's nice little vibe. Yeah, outside in the city. It was good, it was cool, bro. They had it, bro. The one boy was he was juggling like what are the pots that you put like big plants in? Pot. Like, yeah, like one of the big joints, bro. We was juggling on his neck, bro. Like on the back of his neck. Yeah, he's like throwing it up, catching on. I'm like, dang. And the one girl, she was juggling with her feet. She had like the table. No, that's the way that's kind of like what isn't that like what they do in their culture? I mean, yeah, yeah, it was part of it. Yeah, it was part of like the it was just part of like the the the fest, the lantern fest. It was a bunch of different stuff. Like they had like a light show, obviously, and then just like the lanterns was made, like they made like had a bunch of animals made on lanterns, like they made a whole forest out of there. Yeah, yeah, we was looking at we was looking at um because they had like the what the different years were, the animals. My drone's a pig, bro. That's what I'm kind of like. Yeah, I know. I think mine's a t a tiger. Yeah, you're the t-shirt. Says you says you got confidence. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? The pig. Like the tiger. No, that's something totally different. Isn't really like a fish. I think she was I think she was like a no, you're thinking of like you're thinking of uh you're thinking of like the the signs and stuff. This is like the I'm talking about the animal, bro. You're talking about from the China like the Chinese New Year's stuff? Yeah, I mean I have to look at her ear, to be honest. I don't remember. I don't remember like the animal. That's all I'm saying. Like, I thought it was like a fish or something like that. No, no, the Pisces. Nah, bro, that you're thinking of that Zodiac. I got it. That's Zodiac. I'm following that. That's two different things. Yeah, but I'm saying, like, I I was going back to what you were on. Yeah. With the with the with the Chinese joint, I was a pig. That's why you said cherry bull. Yeah. But pork. Say porky pig. Porgady pig. I thought you were calling pork at the pig. That's a good joint. Um. I was like a good joint. Like, no, you I thought you were still on a joke. I was like, all right, like I got that one. That's it. That's a little cliche with you. Cliche. Um and then um this past week we interviewed the episode with the bull Dave Silver Drop. That joint's solid. Talking about the rise and fall, right? Got a lot of insight on that. In the truth behind entrepreneurship. Right now, you get your boy Well on. Yeah, bring him back. Bring him back. See his POV. Yeah, I would definitely like to hear his P.O.V. You know what I'm saying? When it came to that. But it was interesting to hear. So if y'all haven't checked that episode out, go check it out. Streaming on all platforms. That was a great plug. Yeah. You know what I mean? Um, but Monday Rundown News, let's jump right into it. Um Kirk Segnetti. Kirk Signetti's been on going on interview run ahead of the college football season. Um calling out, calling out the SEC. Um one and then also asked uh one of the interviewers, I think he was on um Pardon My Take, um, on Barstool, and they um and they were asking him about oh, a bunch of teams are gunning for you now. He's like, well, I bought a bigger gun. That boy walking around confidence. That boy walks around confidence. You got to, so and he said a Big Ten better than SEC. What you think about that? He said it in full confidence. Pretty much. Like he said, he said they're the toughest conference. No. You know what I'm saying? He's been adamant about that. He's been adamant about that. I mean, I mean, I was gonna I respect Big Ten and all, but like, no. You don't think so? No, bro. What you mean? Outside of like, okay, they got the national champion. Okay, no, wait, hold on. Outside of like Indiana, Oregon, Michigan, okay, I'll give it that. Uh Ohio State. Ohio State, okay, Penn State. What you mean? You see what they did. They had one bad season. No, no. They're constantly going like 10 and 2. Talking about the season before, they was they was good, right? It was in the playoff. I'm pretty sure. Right. So why didn't they do it again? The quarterback got hurt, bro. They start and Q went down. He was trash, bro. Look at the stat line. I think he went down though, didn't he? Regardless, he was trash, bro. Drew Lr? Drew Aller? Yeah, did he was he did he get drafted? Um, I don't think so. We could look, we could, we can we could we could look up the stats. I'm pretty sure he's on a he was an undrafted player. Let's see. If you ask me, I remember I was on low on that. Let's see. They were supposed to be promising coming into the season. He was, he was he was he was a top two. He was uh he was one of the top quarter rated quarterbacks coming out. Coming in, but what happened? It was a bust, bro. So he was a bus? It was a bust, bro. Did he enter the draft? Yeah, he selected 76th. Third, fourth? Uh that's like the early third, I think. Hey, all right, cool. Yeah, you want early third round? Cool. That's fine. But during his college season where he needed to make it count from third, from first to third, that's pretty bad, buddy. Yeah, I mean, I ain't mad at Signetti saying saying that the Big Ten is bigger than the better than SEC. I mean, I think if you go if you go if you go squad for squad, if you go if you go if you go records for no. If you go team for team, I might take the past year. I'll take the Big Ten. I'll take the Big Ten, bro. As far as like the conference as a whole. The conference as a whole, bro. What's your logic behind that? Okay, so so you said, so we said, so we said um Indiana, Oregon, Ohio State, right? Yeah. Michigan. Okay. Who else? Penn State. Bro, Penn State's kind of a bro. They're like at this point, they're a good program, bro. They're a decent program. They're a big problem. Bro, I'm tired of people acting like Penn State. But I'm talking about a swing in the miss type team. But they're top 10 every year, bro. I mean, it's because it's a blue blood school, bro. But it's a good program. They just say they're a B-least team. They're a B-least team. They're a low B they're a low B-list team at this time. How are they low-be list? Like, they're they're good. They're gonna put you put up a belt. Would you put them in the same tier as Notre Dame? Notre Dame does the same tier. But Notre Dame's considered an A-list program. I don't think they're considered A-list program. They are. I don't think they are. You don't think so at all? I don't think so, no. So what would you put? What do you consider A-list program? Let me let me hear that. Ohio State. Okay. Like you're talking about now, like right now. Currently going to Tim. Okay. Or something about the past like five years. Let's do five years. Like pro because I consider it a program. Okay, yeah. All right, word. You say Ohio State. Um obviously Alabama. I'll say Michigan. Um Georgia? Yeah, Georgia. Who else? You gotta throw, would you throw Clemson in there? Last five? Nah. Last five, no. If we were talking like, if we were talking like 2060. What do you mean? Last five? I mean, they won one in what? Last five? Nah. Let's see. They won one in what? Like the end of the 20s, 90, 19 era? Yeah, but that was five years. That was like six years ago, bro. You're right, you're right, you're right. Yeah, I'm saying, I would say if you were saying 2015 to like 2021, alright, it comes as like a top, an A-list program. You know what I'm saying? Because they was in and out, battling for a championship. I mean, I you gotta throw it on the name here. Just cause they've been in a dance multiple times. Yeah, but they never got over the hump. So that's like And they don't play in the conference. I I agree with that though, bro. I agree with that, bro. I agree with that. But I mean, I'm looking so realistically, it's in my opinion, in the last five years, it'll be Ohio State, it will be it will be um, it will be Michigan, okay, and Georgia. Unless you want to be up there? Then they win in 19, I think 19 was 20. When did Joe Burrow? He's been on the 19. 19, bro. You might be right, that's a different era. See what I'm saying? Tides have changed. 19, bro. That's probably a solid list of like, I'm trying to think of any other any other program that might be in there. I'm trying to think of all the conferences. Yeah, I mean And then you might have like teams that go in there every so often, like Oregon, TCU, Texas might be on. Is Texas A-list program? Are they high B list? Texas right now? Texas right list the program over the last five. Have they been to the dance? Like in the conference, I mean the class 4 playoffs? How many times? Like twice. Yeah! Texas is in there, bro. It's hard for me to put them in there because they don't. Who's their quarterback number three? Uh I forget his name, but I know I know he's. Yeah, nah, it's Edwards, Erwers, E. W. Ewin or something like that. Yeah, something like that. But like it's hard for me to put the Texas up there, bro. They're up there, but you're right. Um They're up there, bro. You have to put them up there, you're right. But my thing is like, they should be up there, but they don't win championships. They haven't won a championship since since Vince Young was there. Who? Texas. It's been that long. They play good comp. Yeah, but I mean they just got, I mean, they do play good comp, but it's just like you get the top of the top every year. But they knock off teams, bro. They do knock off teams. But I just, I mean, for being in Texas, all the money you got behind. That's why Penn State really beats teams that are high rank when they're at home. When they're away, it's a whole different ball. That's a B-list rank. They can't get over the A-list programs in there, and then like they they they they lost to they lose to Ohio State, they lose to Michigan. Um, Oregon came in, started running the table. Oregon is like a high B list. Like B plus? High B plus. Itching for the B touch the A. What would make the what would make them because they've they've they've been in the dance the last couple years. They lost it, they lost in the playoffs two years back to back. Have they won a big time championship? No. Is that the tell all of being a of being like You're showing your diamonds at the conference, bro? When's the last time Bamba won a big SEC championship? I don't know. I was curious. I'm I'm I I didn't know. We're talking about let's see. But when we make the dance, we we we make runs, bro. That's the difference. You say you make runs? When we make the dance, we make runs. Let's see. You get what I'm saying? I get what you're saying. Oh, wow. 2023, okay. What are we talking about? Okay, I just didn't know. I just didn't know. Yeah, Jalen Miller, I forgot about that. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, because that was that that's the year. That's when we lost in semis. Yeah, y'all use full and little shaky at the top of the year because you wasn't, you wasn't for sure. Jalen Miller. I mean, yeah. No, no, no, I'm not rightfully so. Rightly so. He didn't, like, he had to prove himself. Yeah, yeah. He was on the type time of fresh Jalen Hurts. Yeah. Freshman year. What do you feel about that? That new did you see what that new Michigan um coach said um about the rivalry of how state? He said, yeah, he said, I'm not off for the violence or something like that. I'm not calling a war before. And like a lot of people in the comments are like, you're the wrong you in the wrong place then. Like this. You're in the wrong place. My boy Joe at the job. Yeah, beautiful. He's a diehard uh Michigan, big blue fan. Yeah, you can't. If I'm the head coach of Michigan, I'm not saying that on my first press. I'm not saying that my first press. Yeah, what are we talking about? That's the main wing. Yeah, it doesn't matter if you go 0-10. You gotta beat Ohio State. Gotta be Ohio State. Gotta beat Ohio State. Got to. I mean. This boom was college football season, baby. Yeah, I mean, we a couple weeks away. We a couple weeks away. It's that time of the year. You saw the chat was active. Everybody the chat was humming the last few weeks. Yeah. Let him say it's that time. What about talking the nut stuff about? What we're talking about right now. Well, I mean, Kirk Segnetti, he he's prime time. I mean, he can't be talking like that. He can't be talking like that, bro. Kirk Segneti can talk any way he wants, bro. It doesn't matter. He came in and got one after the second year. Do it again. We know we're a good coach. We know that. But my thing is that we know that, right? Yeah, but you're trying to talk to another guy that understands the game. But if it was but if it was an SEC coach, you wouldn't be saying that. Saying what? You wouldn't be saying that. You lied on my name, actually. I didn't lie on your name. Yeah, he did, actually. No, I said I said you gave the kudos when kudos was due. I said, yo, he's a player's coach. But I'm saying you was giving him praise, bro. I'm saying when when Ed and then was talking that shit. And I gave him I gave Kirk 10 S he got that. Yeah, but I'm saying you weren't saying he shouldn't be saying that's get another one. Because Ed wasn't like that. But I'm just saying, though. It wasn't like that, bro. Was you saying that when Lane Kiffin was talking that work when he's at Ole Miss? I fuck with Lane Kiffin. I'm just saying though. He was the only CC coach can talk that work that hasn't won an hour. What he said, what he said, what he said, what he said at Ole Miss. I mean, every week he's just talking shit about the other coaches. Like who go on press and say some goofy shit or whatever it may be. But everybody knows Lane Given's a nut. Nah, for sure. But you got the guy that actually walked down everybody. He walked down everybody. Walked down everybody. Do it again. And so what if he does? He can't be So what if he does? Two chips in three years? No, two chips in three years? I want to see go back to back, man. That's what I'm no, but this would be his third year, no, at Indiana. I get it. I get it. That's all I'm saying. Third or fourth year Indiana. He might. I'm not gonna say he ain't doing again. He might. I don't think he's doing it. He already has a blueprint. So he being so. Everybody's taking his blueprint now. So who who's the team to beat this year coming in? Indiana, bro. They won the national championship. They're the team to beat, bro. They're the team to beat. How can you say no? They're gonna come and I think I think every game they play is gonna be sold out. I think the college community probably doesn't think well some of them. I'm not the college community. I'm I'm I'm I'm me. I get you, you I'm me. I'm saying Kurt, I'm saying you won't be able to do it. You gotta give credit with credit. You won the millions. Huh? I think coming in, probably LSU realistically. Why is LSU the team? Why is LSU the team to be? Just because Lane Kiffin went there? He ain't done nothing. I mean, he was Lane though. He left when it got hot. Has Lane led a team to a national championship? No. It's part of it, right? No. It's part of it. Nah, I'm talking about leading a team. Leading its own. They said he had to stop at all responsibilities. He didn't have to stop all responsibilities. But you didn't get him over the hump, man. He couldn't. You left in the middle of the year. He could. That's his own fault. He still ain't won. Shoulda could have. Yeah, you're right. Shoulda coulda woulda. You're right. You know who doesn't have to say that? Kurt does. Kurt doesn't. Lane got a championship. Yeah, but he wasn't the guy. You're right. He was under Stephen. You know what I'm saying? He was the lower. For sure. That's the card. But I'm but I'm saying though Kurt went and did it, though. He took a bum program. He took the sisters of the poor. He did. He took the sisters of the poor. He did. He's great. He ran through everybody. He didn't run through everybody. He played great football. But I'm talking about they went undefeated. I mean, I will say they didn't lose the game. That run game was pure dominant. That run game was dominant. That defense was dominant. That run game was pure dominant. Their offense was balanced, bro. That run game was pure dominant. It was. He got that from Bama, because that's how Bamba won him chips. You gotta run downhill. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Hit the A gap like a motherfucker. You think he's doing it again? I think he could do it again. Tap 20 on it. I'll bet 20 on it. What you mean? Take it on it right now. 2020. 20. 20. 20. I'll bet 20 on it. 20. I bet 20 on it. 20, 20, 20. 20. Remember this clip. He's going back to back. You can clip this up. He's going back to back. He's going back to back. He the favorite. So they're going undefeated again. I didn't say undefeated. So how many games are they losing? Let me look at their schedule real quick. I can't just be like I looked at their schedule. Pull it up. Like you're talking crazy, bro. Let's see. Talking crazy. So who's their star players coming in, you know? Let's see this. I don't think you do. Alright, I didn't know they players like that last year, and they they had a bunch of no names last year and they won. That's all I'm saying. He did it with nobody and developed them. That's good coaching. They play all of state? They play, they play, let's see, let's see their whole thing. Their whole schedule this year is. Alright. Um they play Howard. They play Western Kentucky. They play Northwestern. They play Rutgers. They play Nebraska. That's their first five games. Then they play Ohio State at home. Then they go on the road to Michigan. Then they play Minnesota. Then they play USC, Washington, and Indiana. They can run the table, bro. They kind of weak, bro. They could run the table. Wait a minute. You said what? It's not really a tough schedule, bro, in my opinion. What you mean, bro? It's kind of a weak schedule, bro. I mean Ohio State, Michigan, Minnesota, USC. Every year of damn near they're like 85, 86. They're a middle of the packed team. Yo, they're a middle-to-packed team. You said Minnesota, bro. What you mean? That's like going, that's like going to a mid-tier team in the SEC, bro. What you mean? That's all I'm saying. Cliff it up. Yo, Minnesota, bro.

unknown 24:57

All right.

SPEAKER_00 24:58

I'm just part of the schedule. Going off back. You gotta look at it like they're going off back-to-back tough games. That's a sleeper game. I mean, you're starting their conference, bro. What you mean? That's like somebody playing Mississippi State, bro. Like, what do you mean? So you think. So you think Mississippi State is the bottom of the barrel, no? So Mississippi. Yeah, you're bugging. So Purdue's actually a contention player. Like, like. Is Mississippi State a contention player in the SEC? They might give you a chance. They might give you about. They might give you about. Mississippi State's not even. They probably rated like 18th to finish 18th in the SEC, bro. So you don't think they would rank higher than Purdue in the Big Ten? In the Big Ten? Like if they play it? I mean, probably different different. I'll give you that. I'll give you that. But you know what I'm saying? I mean, their schedule's not the hardest. Northwestern? I won't even disagree with that. I won't even disagree with it. That's why I say WV. But now that I like now that we have the schedule, they might. They might run the table, bro. They might run the table, bro.

unknown 25:55

Easy.

SPEAKER_00 25:56

Hey, man. So I'm trying to tell you, bro. You gotta play who's in front of you. They don't get to pick who's in front of them like that. Don't worry about that. You know what I'm saying? Like, so SEC's tougher by just showing me that. How this is the number one team nation's playing this season? I mean, yeah. I mean, their schedules are made years in advance. I get it. I get it. Like, you can't tell who's gonna be number one. Our schedules, every all SEC teams play good opponents. So you still you still you still like that bet that they're not gonna make it, they're not gonna win it again? Yeah, they're not, bro. What the fuck? Alright, we're gonna see. We're gonna see. I'm interested to hear what the people say about what conference is tougher. The Big Ten. Jeremia Smith's about to go off on y'all. Shit. Them games are gonna be prime time. Them shit is gonna be prime like prime prime, like hard hitting. And Kurt gonna talk that shit. He people coming to see him. He's the show. Are they not? I mean, yeah, they seen him, but I mean unless the star develops like they did last year. He's gonna back and back, bro. We made it better. Alright then. Alright. Shit. Who's the favorite to come out to SEC you think this year? Before we move to the Nef Sedger? Uh right now, uh probably like Georgia. Go try to go Georgia. LSU, Bama, Tennessee. Oh, I forgot. Oh, take it back. Georgia, LSU, Texas, Bama. OU might creep up in there. They got OU finishing seventh. They were a good program last year, though. I'm kinda on the money. Oh, we got AM up there? Yeah, so the projected, the projected uh finish, the projected uh order was Georgia 1, Texas 2, Ole Miss 3, AM 4, LSU 5, Alabama 6, Oklahoma 7, Tennessee 8, Florida, 9, and Missouri 10. We're playing teams, bruh. This conference is strong. Y'all got some programs in there. Is this not stronger than the Big Ten? I mean, if we're going off to how the teams were the last three, four years. For a whole you're talking about the whole conference? Yeah, the conference is the whole like the top half, yeah, the top half is strong as hell. Same like the Big Ten, though. The bottom half, though, of the SEC is like so at least go up top half. We said four teams for the Big Ten. I mean, let's let's bring the whole Big Ten. Let's bring the whole Big Ten teams up. So Indiana, Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan, USC, normally Penn State. Normally Penn State. This is the rankings from national Penn State. Um, you can even put Washington in the Washington's been in the dance. They've been in the dance, bro. No, they was in the dance twice. When I think when it first started, bro. They they let's see how many times Washington made the University of Washington made the college football playoff. That's what I don't know, bro. Did they? Did they play us? Let's see. That's crazy. If they did, I mean no. Still no. Let's see how many times they made it. Twice? They went twice? Yeah, they've lost us. I forgot about that. That's why you got Killin the boy. Dominate y'all. They got uh Kalen the boy from y'all. That's where that's where y'all got y'all guy from. There's a reason to got it. He wasn't the head coach. No, I'm talking about 2023. That's why y'all got him. Okay, that don't mean nothing. I don't know. I'm just saying, bro. Like, he went there one time. That's all it took, bro. If he stayed there, he probably could have gone there another time. That's all I'm saying. Well, he's your guy now. So what's your projection for Bama? It could be from a one-loss team, a two-lost team. Or one to two, excuse me, a one to two loss team to all the way up to a five-lost team. Yeah, we can look at their schedule real quick and then we'll move to the we'll move to the uh the next story. Um real talk. You said two loss team? At most. And still slip in. I think our two losses will be middle and maybe end. You said middle and maybe end? Hopefully it doesn't happen. We go undefeated. Y'all got game one, y'all have East Carolina, Kentucky, Florida State, South Carolina, Mississippi State. Y'all first five games is easy. What? Florida State might be a ball game. You never know. They've been trash at the last year. Hit and miss, bro. Georgia. So wait, say, wait. You said who's after uh Florida State? Uh South Carolina. That might be a good game, bro. They're not bad, bro. What are you talking about? They were bad last year. They won like four games. Who was the bull with the goggles? He was the quarterback, but they won like four games. They had they started up pretty hot. Yeah, and they but for people got hurt, bro. I feel you. Then you got Mississippi State. Then you got Georgia, this Tennessee, Texas AM. Those are three tough games. By week before LSU. Then you got Vanderbilt, Chattanooga, and Auburn. I mean, your schedule, your schedule's not that tough neither. What are you talking about? You have one, two, three, four, five, five tough games. Six. In Auburn. Where are we at? I kind of Auburn. I kind of Auburn. Like six. Hold on. I said Auburn. Okay. LSU. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Auburn. Vanderbilt's not a bad program, bro. They had one good year, bro. Vanderbilt's not a bad program. Okay, we'll go off last year. I'll give you that. Off of last year. Vanderbilt, LSU, Texas AM. Okay. Tennessee. Georgia. That's six. Okay, that's six tough games. They'll have the rest. South Carolina is going to be a tough game. Bro, I'm going off of how the programs were last year. They weren't a good program last year. Yeah, 6'7. They play tough games, but they're gonna be able to do that. Yeah, 6'7 counts to your four. It's not that not that far off. It's not that far, not that far off. We're over. You're under. Okay. We're battle tested, bro. Alright. Look at the tough. We have a tough conference, bro. We have a tough conference, bro. Alright. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm trying to say. You would you disagree? I'm not saying I never say you didn't have a tough conference. We have a tougher conference, bro. Who has more champions the last three years? Four years. Talking about conference-wise? National championships. What conference has them? Let's see. What conference has them? Let's see. You tell me. Are you trying to trap me? No, I'm just I'm asking. No, you're not asking. I really don't know. Because I might be even. In the last five years. Ten years. How about that? Let's do it we've been talking five the whole time. Oh yeah, no, okay. That's that's that's that's that's like half a day. That's genre for that's uh interview since since since it's been alive. The Big Ten, bro. The Big Ten won the last three. Big team won the last three. One program from the SC. This is three different that shows you the conference is better. By one. But it's three different teams. It's three, it's three different teams. Do it since do it do it since the playoffs been alive. Okay. And it's by one, just for the record. I'm just saying. You only have one program. You're acting like it's just a wash. You're acting like it's a wash, brother. I'm not asking, I'm not asking it's a rock like a wash. It's by one, brother. Let's see. You got you got six from the SEC and you got four from the Big Ten. I mean you're gonna you're gonna try to find a win. You're trying to find a win. You try that's why he said let's do a fucking. The whole time we've been talking about the last five. Of course, you're gonna say you're gonna say you want to find a win. That's good. It's all good. It's what's that called? It's all good. It's all good. Spin that shit. Spin that shit. But that's my point, bro. Keeping it on, keeping it on the football news. Tony Romo, man. Tony Romo's uh traffic stop went viral. He uh got arrested for OWI, or means um operating while intoxicated. It says former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS League, NFL analyst Tony Romo, has been placed on a definitive leave after being arrested in Wisconsin on suspicion of operating while intoxicated. CBS announced that for uh the former NFL defensive end player JJ Watt will be replacing Romo um on its number one broadcast team along with Jim Nance while Romo's legal situation plays out. Um the arrest comes um after Romo had been receiving criticism for his recent broadcasting performances, leading many to wonder if this could permanently change CBS's booth. Um, first of all, what'd you think about that video? I mean, we was we was talking about it in the Fantasy League chat um about the initial stop and then just his reaction when she asked him, uh, have you had any concussions, sir? And he, the boy, looked like he had a flashback. He's like, uh, not recently. I mean, it was funny, don't get me wrong. By all means, he's an idiot. But uh, it's kind of crazy how we're starting to see a lot of these current and former, you know, professional football players always driving and talking, like driving under the influence. True. And it's just like, when are they gonna start to realize like, yo, like somebody's life's gonna be on the line, bro? You're lucky you got stopped, bro. But to give pushback on that, in the general scheme of things, I agree with you. Um, but when they showed the original traffic stop, um it didn't look like he was doing anything crazy. Damn. No, I'm just saying. I'm saying it like they can pull you over for anything. Yeah, they can't pull you over for anything. Obviously, like when he got when he got uh when he got arrested and he started doing the test, you could tell he was he was lit. Um so I agree with you with that. Um but I agree with I agree when it comes to the aspect of just these athletes in general, because you got like the tiger situation, all of them, like they think they above the law. I mean, like you said, until until they mess around and hurt somebody, kill somebody, whatever it may be, yeah, like they're gonna learn. But I mean, what do you think is gonna come of his? Do you think he's gonna get off with like a slap on the wrist? Do you think like he's on the leave right now, so he's probably gonna be they're gonna let this thing die down for a little bit, wait until everything gets back. But I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I I don't think he'll get fired. I mean, if he does, it's not like he hurt it, he just DUI. Yeah, you know what I mean? I think I think a lot of people, I think at first people didn't like Tony Romo when he's when he's first got onto the onto the scene, but I think a lot more people do now because when you when you play when you listen to him, then he'll break down the whole entire play, like play for play when it's doing so it adds a different element to the game. So I've grown to like him as a broadcaster, personally. Absolutely, absolutely. Especially like like he'll be calling up, oh, if this guy goes here, he's gonna throw it in, and he doesn't, and everybody's like, all right, that's that's what I rock with him. So see, I told you. Yeah, and then I wonder how JJ Watt's gonna sound on the mic. Like it's the first time, right? Yeah, he's yeah, he was retired, and this is gonna be his first time on the broadcast. But if JJ Watt I think it's good to have former stars, yeah, but if JJ Watt does a good thing, should should Tony be able to come back in that in that spot? Yeah, you can't do it. Or there's ways rotten. Or you keep JJ for the entire Nah try to mesh him. You had a defensive perspective, you had an offensive perspective. But Jim Nance isn't going anywhere. Okay. So you have all three, or you just have the two bulls on them? You can try to either or somebody have a show. True. I mean, it it it'll be interesting to see. I mean, there's ways to work it out though, bro. Like, I mean, if it's not, it's not, I mean, he fucked up at the end of the day. You miss your chance, but I mean, should they put him on leave or should they let him do this thing until proven guilty? I mean, let him figure his his situation out. Because you don't want to put somebody on there that's gonna rep the company at a at a negative light. What you mean? I mean you're driving under the influence, and we're still letting you come back to your job. I mean, that happens with the players. Players be doing like you see how like, for example, to basketball, like the mellow balls out there swerving, crashing and stuff. He's playing on the coordinates. Is he drunk though? I'm not sure if he was drunk. I'm not sure if he was drunk. I'm just saying, like you see the difference. So you say because he was intoxicated that yeah, that makes a whole difference in like the situation. I mean crashing versus being crashing while you're drunk, bro. You you're putting yourself in harms and other people's in harm's way. True. True. I mean it, Lamella Mall. If he crashed, I mean, yeah, but like it's more of a you could understand it maybe a little bit more. You're not drunk, you just crashed your car. Are you an idiot? Yeah, but you weren't drunk. Yeah, I mean, what would it take for these players and and broadcasters to have have to have like more responsibility around that? I mean they're per their purse. What you mean you gotta find them? You got you gotta attack their pockets at that point. Like at the end of the day, like you said, they they think they're above God to where you know you gotta attack attack their finances. So if it's like they're getting paid, you think they're getting paid millions of broadcasts? Yeah, not not maybe not per broadcast, but like the salary's probably worth millions. Like four million. So you take, okay, if you get caught any in excuse me, any legal trouble, that might be like 20% of your monthly purse. That would deter people. And my thing is why don't you just have a driver? They do. Well, drivers cost though, too. They do cost, but it's just like if you're going somewhere, like you're going because you're coming from a golf island. If you're coming from a golf island, you know you're gonna be drinking on that drone, more than likely. If you're if you're if you're not home, you know what I'm saying? And on top of that, you're going, you're going to I think go get your kids. Nah, that's true. Cyber, whatever happened to the Ryan Clark situation. Oh, yeah, I'll pull that at that. I'm gonna get into that next. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Um, but yeah, I mean, I think I think at that point, like Tony, you read a lot of enough earnings in your career, probably to be able to get somebody to take you to and from the golf course to your people's script if you're gonna be drinking, bro. That's all that's all I'm saying. Um, and you say, What were you asking about Ryan Clark? What happened to him? I mean he got fired, but he got fired, but I mean he just let go. That's it. He was crying. Yeah, he was crying, he was crying on the on um I didn't look at the uh on the pivot. On the pivot. They was doing a little um interview chanting and uh Fred Bulls crying on that joint. Um you say he just wanted to, I guess, be accepted, and everybody's gonna be back. Why are you trying to be accepted, bro? Like, he's all they want to do is be accepted. People in the comments was like, come on, man, like you do it too much now. But he's beginning, like, a lot of I mean, from from what I see, I'll just say my algorithm because I don't know, I don't know what everybody else's algorithm pushes when it comes to like the comments and stuff. Right. But I saw like people were getting tired of him, and I don't get your thoughts on this too, tired of him just bringing like we're talking about sports, just bringing the race into every single conversation instead of just sticking on sports. Like every every point he made was centered around that, so they didn't really like that. And I think that's one of the reasons he got fired. I mean, I don't I didn't I can find a report to see the actual reason. Probably in that that and the fact that he's always not always, it seems like the way the camera angles it, he's always getting into it with somebody on air. Not like not like Yeah, verbally, but I'm saying not like cussing at somebody, but like, you know what I mean? It's a little too much for TV. Yeah. It's like you're not on the pivot. Like you can, but like you gotta you gotta do it based on the facts in the game. Yeah, that's that's what I'm saying. Like he would he would bring other things into it as opposed as opposed to. Yeah, right. I'm just saying, yeah. I mean, I think he's gonna be, I think he'll eventually probably get he'd probably get picked up by somebody else, I think. Yeah, he might. Realistically, I think so. I mean like it's in his pivot, the show the pivot's doing well. Um he's on what? ESPN? He's on ESPN. I mean he might give a little fucks. That's what I'm saying. There's other platforms that'll pick him up where he could like he like a lot of different places probably might throw a bag at him. Like a bar still could throw a bag at him, all these other places could could could give him back because he's a personality. People tune into what he has to say. He, I mean, they give views, all that type of stuff. And then they had on the pivot, they had Jake Paul on there recently, but he said he could he could play in the NFL easily. You think that boy could, or you get rocked. I think he's gonna get rocked in the league. I ain't gonna hold you. I see him running routes. It all depends. I think I mean he said slot receiver. Who? It says, he said say, I think he said uh Jake Paul said he believes he could play in the NFL as a slot receiver after his boxing career. See that's a lie. That's what I'm saying. Slot receiver is crazy. I thought you said maybe like a like a linebacker, maybe. Yeah, you better, you better get them, you're not running no slot receiver, bro. Yeah, nah. Slot is out the question. But like a linebacker, I don't see him playing like offense. They said he suggested even walking on in Stanford to gain uh football experience before pursuing the NFL. Because he's still what 27, 28? Yeah, he might be he's a younger one. Yeah, yeah. So I mean, yeah, linebacker, bro. You might as well play linebacker. Or like a DN. Yeah, and I think I think when he was on the uh tall is he? Like six foot, six one, two hundred pounds. He's a little slim. I mean, you can play slot. I seen the fiddle of him running, he don't got the wiggle, bro. Linebacker. Like, or tailback, fullback. Nah, bro, linebacker. Be like one of them flexible tight ends. Nah, he's too little small for that. Linebacker, bro. Yeah, he's only 200. Linebacker. Little hybrid. He's not he's not in the trenches. You're gonna put some more weight on him, bro. Nah, he's not playing in a slot, bro. But he's not playing middle linebacker at two. Outside, outside. That's what I'm saying. A little high, yeah, like you said, a little hybrid. Yeah, cuz hit the C gap, hit the hit the outside. Yeah, you gotta do something. Nah, you might have him play like coverage, coverage middle linebacker. I mean, if you don't got if you don't got the wiggle, you ain't covering. Yeah, nah, I don't know. I I don't know where where I'd put him. Yeah, I mean, I think probably like an outside linebacker, if anything, though. Shit, they should they should try to they should try to try to walk on one of them schools first and then see how he does. So go up the car, but let Dion, let Dion get you right, and then and then and then try to make it. That would be television, that'd be primetime television. True. You think you think motherfuckers would go and go to just watch him play? Dion probably wouldn't allow him. You said Dion wouldn't allow him? Probably would. I mean, if he don't unless he wants more eyes. But outside of that, like Dion trying to win now, huh? He has to. Is he on the hot seat? Uh probably not, 'cause he's bringing bringing so much attention, but I would think he hasn't been winning games. Yeah, because last year they weren't that good. I mean, that that that quarterback that they got that's that five star quarter that came in, I was thinking he was a freshman last year, the year before. Is Dor die now? It's like you got to show your him. You got to show your him, or we gotta find somebody else. Yep. Absolutely. And some more news. It says Forbes released a list of the highest earning podcasters.

unknown 47:07

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_00 47:09

But you gotta realize the podcast game is vast, like they probably still make a good bag, don't get me wrong, they probably make a lot of money. Right. But I agree. No, I'm just asking. Yeah, no, I know. I'm saying though, like, even that because Ax'n's even up there, and that'd be doing, you know what I'm saying? I think he's more of a streamer. I mean, but he could be because he could be considered a podcaster, no? No, why not? He has a podcast show that he does like on Spotify, no? Yeah, but like I feel like his bag is more like online. Okay. Well, you would you agree? I would agree, but I thought I thought they might try to consider him a podcaster, you know. He is, he's a podcaster, he's a podcaster, streamer, a personality. Yeah, but that's what I said. Like, if his if his show is attached, like if he's he's probably making mad bread, you know? Like, but in different facets. True. So but they're talking about pure podcasts. It's like pure RB, pure rap. Okay, pure pop, or excuse me, pure country. But said pure pop. I mean, one, you get what I'm saying. This shows, in my opinion, this was this is very interesting to see because you know, podcasting like eight years ago, nine years ago was was a very new thing. And this shows that one, a lot of people are investing in podcasts, and then also like podcasts is the mainstream media now. You feel me? As opposed to like traditional news. Um, and then also like more celebrities are starting to launch launch podcasts. All of them don't land, but I mean, podcasts have consumers' ears at the end of the day. Um does this show how valuable IP really is now? Now that we see it. Yeah, what do what do you think makes podcasts um, what do you think? I have a take on what I think makes um podcasts worth all this money. I'm gonna hear your thoughts first, and I'm gonna give you my my my my whole my whole spiel on it. I mean, it's another form of like making music, bro. I mean it's frequency. I mean, if you have somebody, if you can talk about something in a in a in a certain tone, in a certain way, but still have something that can still get their attention, it's frequency. No, I agree. I agree. And my thought process behind behind that to add on to that is the reason I believe that um podcast and the streaming shows and all this type of stuff are are becoming like worth this much money is because I think the physical books and stuff, I saw in the clip of like them getting rid of that shit. Like where this is gonna be this is gonna be the way, like in the future, like when everything becomes 100% digital, this is gonna be the way people recount history, in my opinion. Like when we talk about catalog and things of that nature, that's that's where my mind goes, where it's like everything, we're gonna get to a point where everything is gonna be digital, we're not really gonna have these physical items to get information or whatever, or they're gonna be very scarce um in the future. And then like this is gonna have people get the information. But having the physical copy will outweigh the digital at all times. No, it will, but I'm saying it's gonna, I think it's gonna be rare to have physical copies of things. Like, I was even, I was even, I was even watching um I was e I was watching this this film uh series where they have like uh these actors come into like this closet and pick like movies or CDs that inspire them to get into acting. And Matt Damon, because I went to go see the Odyssey, I was watching like some of the uh the not the the like the press runs from it, and he was like, This, this uh DVD we can't even find. And I was on this film, and the director's like, I guess the director of the film was looking for it. The basic there's like no, there's not many out there, there's like only a few copies left because they stopped making them, but I think that's how it's gonna be with like books and things of that nature. Well, yeah, it's gonna be outweighed, but it's not gonna be the way people consume information. I don't think people consume information in books that much anymore. I think I think the audio is the way is the way people consume everything. That was outside. Oh I mean, yeah, you know, I mean, yeah, I think it's gonna get to a certain point to where everything's gonna be digital and remote. But I mean, as of right now, I feel like getting the physical copy so you can do what you want, write your notes, outline your shit. I feel like that that's priceless. No, it is priceless, but I'm saying though, that's the reason why this is so valued so much because I think what you're saying is what you're saying is right. But I think the generations coming up, they ain't gonna be really doing doing that. I understand that. I think they're gonna be on their iPads doing next ones, they're gonna be listening to stuff, maybe taking notes that way, but like the physical, how we're taking notes or highlighting books, that's not gonna be really a thing. It's gonna be like an old head thing, no different than like how the old heads are reading newspapers and stuff, and and and that's how they got their information. Like, that's gonna be the evolution of it. So people are buying the IP now because, like we said, the media controls the masses. So if you have more voice and people dumping into you can control the narrative that way. Because the independent media heads like ourselves, like, people are gonna be are coming to us for the information. Yeah, we may be doing the research. I agree, I agree, I agree. But I think that's why that's I think that's why it why it's worth so much at the end of the day. But I think it's only gonna expand. I think 82 million just to start. I think we're gonna have people making NBA soccer numbers in in years to come, in my opinion. Yeah, 100 mil, 200 mil, easy. I mean shit. Having them have didn't a couple of them get like uh, but it you're talking about offer just one like lump sum. Yeah, like they're gonna be having dealing like over eight years or something. Yeah, like they're gonna see like over like three or two. Yeah, like companies are gonna cut cut contracts for like that. It's gonna be like it's gonna be like the league, bro. Nah, I I agree with that. You know what I'm saying? Absolutely. Or they just or they're gonna earn on the back end from yeah, they'll cut a deal with like a Spotify, but like on the back end through like their merch or whatever, they're gonna be able to capture that. Um but yeah, I mean that's my thoughts on that. I'm interested to hear how this evolves and like how the list continues to update. Um and just the power of these shows and these media platforms are A1. Right. Um, the last few topics I got are um there's been a big there's been a big conversation online about um Snapchat and all these Facebook and all these people reading like people's direct messages. Um I'm about to read the story that just happened. So it says um following an arrest of a student teacher over an alert uh alleged Snapchat activity, social media users began uh circulating claims that Snapchat reads private messages and forwards them to the FBI. Um, and the reality is more nuanced than that. Um, it says the reason it it sparked concerns is because this student teacher, um, she posts, I guess she was on her laptop, and one of the kids that were in her class um deleted everything she put, so she sent a Snapchat of like, so I just want to kill this kid or whatever, like jokingly, whatever, because he deleted everything, and then like the FBI showed up to the door saying, We got reports that you sent this, this, and that. That's an invasion of privacy. Yeah, so if that happens, how many but at the same time, what does the fine print say in the rules and guidelines? That's what I was gonna say. It's like nobody really reads the fool that full detail. It's so many words. Yeah, so they probably do. Do you think these platforms read everything you send out? Probably hell yeah. Because I'm trying to think, how do they scan the fine stuff? If you really read it, there's probably something that says, like, if we want to go through private messages or anything, we're we're we're allowed to. Yeah, if it's a threat, you wanted to come on our platform. So it's probably something that says that. I'm not I'm not saying verbatim now, but I'm saying like there it's like one of those of if you want to come into our world, you're playing by our roles. I mean, how much privacy should consumers expect? I mean, I feel like if you're on a platform like that, you should you should you should assume everybody they they know they've seen what you're sending on the back end for the fuck, yeah. They're controlling it. That's their IP. Yeah, you want to go in their IP, yeah. That's a whole different matrix, bro. Yeah, it's a whole different matrix. When you jump in their matrix, you can't get mad because they want to adjust it, bro. Yeah. Just like when the best friends things, huh? Pull your mic up a little bit. Just like with the the best friends things, at the end of the day, it's like they took it away, but it was there. Yeah. You think they should bring that back on the socials? Like the remember how they have like on IG, you can see who liked the last drone on the public?

unknown 54:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 54:56

They call it Mayhem, huh? Yeah, absolutely. What if they just did that one one day as like an April Fool's drone? They just they added that drone back, you see all the motion. Sheesh. How many people get do you think getting caught up that day? Caught up, but like just a lot, yeah. A lot were going up that happened, huh? It's crazy how much that shit evolved. Because that was really the wild, wild west. That was the wild, wild west, but Instagram was figuring it out. Snapchat was figuring it out. We was the beta, huh? Yeah, we was the beta. Yeah, the beta. People got mad, yo, yo, Snapchat, why you got the best friends, bro? We had the Snapchat like your boy, like a thousand times. Yeah, a thousand times. Shit was stretched. Shit was stretched. But yeah, I mean, I think, yeah, just just like you said, if you go on a platform, just expect that, you know, especially if you send the stuff like that could be triggering or whatever it may be. Expect that you're gonna people are looking at what you got at the end of the day. Absolutely. Um the last thing I want to talk about that just that just um kind of the news story broke right before we got on air. Um, it says the Trump administration announces Trump media initiative, um, and the public is kind of divided on it. It says the Trump administration has announced a new initiative um involving Trump media, generating uh mixed reactions from the public. It says supporters argue it expands um competition in media and technology while giving um conservative voices a greater representation. Um and then also says critics question uh potential conflicts of interest between like the president and um a company so associated with the president. Um the announcement has the announcement just sparked a lot of conversations about like the media influence. Um people brought up like different countries, how like their leaders control the media and all of that. So, I mean, should a sitting president have ties to a media company like that? I mean, it does get a little, yeah, it does bring a little conflict of interest for sure. Because it's like if he can control, I mean, granted, how strong is that media company though? I mean, true social, a lot of people go to that because that's where he drops all his news, his updates, all that type of stuff. So a lot of people use that platform. But like, I mean, how much influence does it have on America and the world? What do you mean by that? Explain answer properly. Like, it's not like Fox, it's not like it's ABC, it's not like it's any of any of these like major media companies. I mean, is True Social's developing more of like an X-type platform? That's cool. But I mean, Trump media is a whole different thing, though. This is like on top of that. Yeah, yeah. I mean, no, I think they're trying to build something, build like that. I don't know, I think. But he's gonna only be in office for oh so long. Yeah, oh so long, but there's still two more years. Okay, and then it goes into the conversation. Obviously, uh now we're just talking about what potential hypotheticals, all that type of stuff. Like, you know how people trying to say he's trying to run again and all that, like trying to run for 2028. But he can't. He can't, but he's been trying to influence people to say he can run again. Like they've they've been putting that in the air so that's like. Now I get it. The media is definitely the narrative. They're trying to program all that type of stuff. I mean, and then just the conflict of inference, a conflict of interest when it comes to just like the free market, the president controlling the narrative. They go say the a media uh company and they go public, and the IPO, now he's influencing. Oh, and now I'm only gonna talk on this platform to drive the money up, money in his pocket. Like there's a lot of different things that that could tie into this. I mean, the long run. No, I I at the end of the day, him having a media company while he is a president, most people will say, what's the issue? But the issue is, like you said, it pushes certain ideals. Now, if it gets a you know a bigger backing behind it, to where it gets to be like you can say Disney is a media company, right? They are a media company, like a shit like that, like then that's when it gets scary, bro, because that's when it becomes again a person of power becoming a dictator, then it really becomes a tech course because it's about a VIP and programming. Yeah. That's scary. When year two comes, how big will that media company media company become? But that because is it is he trying to make a move on the back end to where it's like now it's just Trump media and Trump's just behind the paywall now? Let's see. That's uh uh I'm gonna pull it up. Trump media initiative. Let's see. So it says the Trump Media and Technology launched uh, I think it's called Truth API, um, a paid business-to-business data service designed to sell high-speed millisecond access to market moving posts via true social, um, early feeds targeting high profile user user accounts, uh, monthly subscriptions, pricing costing up to $100,000 for institutional trading firms. So it's it's more so for the businesses. Um, it says it the target audience is is Wall Street, high frequency trading firms, banks, major investors. See, like when it comes to like that stock, the market, and all that type, you're influencing all that shit now. I told you. You know what I'm saying? I'm agreeing with you. You're influencing all that shit. Like, like you said, if it becomes if it builds off of that, which could potentially could, where you say like they have like a media where they have like the Disney type. Bro, it's gonna be it's gonna be becoming a tech war, bro. Like I'm trying to tell you, it's it's a battle of digital market share. Yeah, yeah. There's a lot that could it's crazy because if you're controlling the market now, yeah. Because also what the president says dictates this the stock market, a lot of things that's crazy. The government stuff, too. Yeah, that's controlling generations to come. Yeah. Whatever's being seen in like the screens and stuff like that. You gotta be really careful how you go about it. Yeah, and then even though like say say they're paying for, and this is this is a big one too, because um when we're you know how we've been talking about the war and stuff like that, and how it affects business. Right. Like, say say that these companies are are are are paying a hundred thousand dollars a month to get the information that we are going to war before everybody else, and then now they can prepare and like leverage their shit, whatever it may be, because like, oh, we know we know like the materials to make weapons and tanks is gonna go up, so we're gonna put our bread in here. It's like Absolutely. Now it's about to be the haves, the real haves and have nots. Haves and have nots. It's gonna be real life hungry. If you're if you're a company paying that subscription, if you have the bag, would you? That's a good question. If I'm a company that's on Wall Street, if I'm a company that's oh that has the that has the information for the future? Yeah, I'll probably pay that bag. Hell yeah. Yeah, if you're saying you get if I'm a multi-million dollar company a month, I'm paying I'm paying that because you get all the information first about what what's about to happen, what's about to come. Like, hell yeah. That's regular street. You really gotta pay to play. Like everything's a subscription. That's crazy. Everything's a description. You gotta pay. I'm paying, I'm paying shit. I'm paying $150 to give me more info and Intel. Sheesh. But it's gonna be interesting to see though, for sure. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what to say about that. I want to see how this develops in like the more because it just dropped today. So uh, what are you about to say? No, nothing. I just point my fingers. Yeah, I just want to develop because it literally just dropped before they just announced it um right before we got on air. So we don't know too much about it, but breaking news. Yeah, good one. But that's all I got for today. Damn, you left me hanging. I thought she was like, you know, give me on a date real quick. Got anything else for today, though? It's like I said, roll tide.
