Is that your connection with... you're uh where

you're an advocate for that company could be some type of connection there yeah he's definitely an advocate definitely an advocate but like so my back was fucked up i did all sorts of like physical therapy um Got the MRI.

Your back's screwed.

It was taking me probably...

The week of Big Ten Media Day, it was honestly like 25, half an hour to get out of bed every day.

I could not physically move.

Yeah, it's horrible.

definitely

story.

And that's how you do it.

That's how you keep the cycle going.

And then Adam Morrison came on the show and he denied having an apocalypse bunker in a way that sure seemed he made it seem like he did have an apocalypse bunker.

He's like, it's not really a bunker.

There's like only a few guns and I don't even have that much canned food.

Uh, but it's, it seemed like it might be bunker adjacent.

Out of respect.

Good.

Yeah.

I'm, I'm usually an Almost Sports guy, but, um, I, I decided to give Evo a call 'cause I just found out some information about Bob Chesney, who's gonna be a part of my take, and I'm a, I'm a little bit upset with Evo, uh, for keeping this information from me, uh, when, when Chesney was at JMU.

There, it turns out Bob Chesney's got a big dom.

He has his own big dom, and-

I don't-

Actually, okay, I'm l- I'm less mad because Blutman brought him up today.

So Blutman knows about him 'cause I guess he met him at UCLA.

It's a science, man

... uh, there, there's a, there's a lot that we can lean into when it comes to American sports.

I think Enter Sandman would be a great song to run out to.

I think, uh, I, I, I think, yeah, having, having a marching band that is part of the game, I think that's a good thing.

I mean, we let South Africa hand out, uh, French horns to everybody that walked into the stadium.

We can have a, a, a small section devoted to a marching band.

Is it, uh, is it, is the vernacular, is it starting to filter through or, or is there still work to be done?

I mean, there's definitely some work to be done, but I, I definitely think that, uh, a good amount of our audience is excited about the World Cup.

Prime members can listen ad free on Amazon Music.

You grind all year, early mornings, late nights, fantasy drafts, hustle mode on.

But when summer hits, it's time to chill, and Chevy Silverado makes that possible.

We're talking towing the boat to the lake, off-roading into the woods like a legend, and still having room for the squad and all your gear.

Inside, Silverado is comfy like a recliner.

Outside, built like a linebacker.

Chevy Silverado, work hard, chill harder.

Oh, yeah.

Was it just a hey?

Uh, well, I mean, me and Big Cat had, like, tweeted at each other and, like, followed each other for a while, but then...

We, so when we were writing the book, I went back and I, like, checked the DMs to see, like, a, a little bit of the history that we might have forgotten before.

And w- the company I was writing for was a company called, uh, Kissing Suzy Kolber.

It was a website that was owned by Uproxx.

And then Uproxx got bought by a company named Woven, and Woven was doing some deals with Barstool Sports at the time.

And I was just like, "Hey, we're Team Woven," uh, when Woven, like, took over my company.

Mm, mm

... out of games, and how big a, is the gap there between him and AJ?

So, I mean, two, two different players.

Um, I think that Peterson, uh, I, I've talked to a few different people at Kansas that had some information around the program, even before, like, the creatine stuff came out.

Reading between the lines, it sounds like there was, there was a, a workout incident that went over the line that he wasn't either prepared to handle physically because of something that he was taking or sometimes in the off-season they, the strength coaches put these guys through workouts that they're not ready for yet, and then you get, you know, some serious repercussions from that physically.

And if you're a superstar player that's going in there and you're supposed to be the f- you know, you're going to be one of the top players in all of college basketball this year, I could see a scenario where you lose all the trust that you have with the training staff after that one practice.

And I, I think that if it was, uh, if it took a physical toll on him, he probably can't trust them.

They probably know that they screwed up a little bit with how far they pushed him in that first practice, and I think it was this kind of uneasy stalemate that they had all year, where the coaching staff didn't wanna fully call him out on anything because they knew that there was some liability that they had from that practice.

When do you feel like they really could make the move that is necessary, uh, to be a true title contender?

Okay

... they're, like, directly related.

It's a, like, direct nephew of Security Mike, who's the best.

You guys know Security Mike.

Yeah

... is that, uh, they sent, they sent us a bunch to part of my take, and I got the blue one, the dark blue one.

And I also tried to order this one myself online, and they were all sold out.

So this might be a, a Chinese-

So he got serious, Bosco?

We're getting like a whole business.

Dave was like running everything at that point.

And he's like, yeah, we're getting like a whole business team behind us and we're looking to expand and hire.

And I was like, yeah, that sounds like a great idea.

I would I would love to be part of that.

But no, I didn't think that it was going to be like the size that it is now.

Clay Travis, when you vaped him in his face.

Yeah.

And, uh, we were very weird in that interview, but he seemed to like us.

And, uh, then, you know, things would, people would aggregate you after the interview, so we saw, like, oh, all the headlines come out about Joe Buck- Joe Buck and, I think Joe saw a little bit of a shift online at that point, where everybody hated Joe Buck before because no matter what team you root for, at some point, Joe has said something bad about your team.

So you think that he hates you.

Yes, thank you.

It was the best.

Have you ever, you know, have you ever had a- a big cancellation of plans? I had one last week where I canceled a vacation, which sounds like it might be bad but the second I canceled it, I felt great, I'm gonna just stay at home-
