[00:00:13]

You know, I just did an excellent right. The way you're doing it, it sounded perfect after 12 to jump. No, it doesn't sound.

[00:00:21]

Check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check. It wanted you to know for chuggers.

Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug choo choo.

[00:00:40]

That you do 16. That's way too. I think it is 16.

[00:00:43]

No, it's not. Now you're not as patient as I am. Roy just did it and it sounded ridiculous.

[00:00:48]

Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug choo choo.

[00:00:54]

Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug to.

[00:01:02]

It's three is there no love to the to choose at the end the choo choo like they hold that thing and like choo choo choo choo you get you get along.

[00:01:09]

Great that you two. Yeah. The church's got to be longer. Does the second one I think as we belong in the first two because you're holding that sucker down, you're letting people know that trains coming through.

[00:01:18]

Very good breakdown of chug chug chug chug chug. Roy do you, do you, you do it well Roy do you do it well?

[00:01:25]

I don't, I don't do anything. What do you do.

[00:01:28]

It's not OK. Do you try to do it and fail or how does this work. Well, Claire ever does Claire like that I guess is what I'd ask, you know, and she's not really into daddy over.

[00:01:38]

You're trying to act out, you know, trying to be all loving. And finally, you know, like she's busy watching television.

[00:01:43]

Wait, what your daughter's that into you loving her? No, not really. Not really. She just runs away.

[00:01:49]

Wait till they get older in high school. I didn't know. Chris, how good are you at it? You do it. You do want wanna eat it when feeding yourself? Yes, of course.

[00:01:59]

We're always trying to argue that it's 16 and I'm going to do it right now. And you're going to clearly here. Twelve chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug choo choo. See, Roy just float.

[00:02:10]

Now there's for each three bursts of for doing this test. Roy claims at sixteen. Let's hear the way Roy does it.

[00:02:17]

Go ahead Chuck. It took a check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check to tune in.

[00:02:23]

Oh because he's doing no Roy is doing four times for though Roy is doing four rounds of foil.

[00:02:29]

He is that it doesn't sound as like fluid as the three like he's wrong. He's trying to argue that sixteen is 12 and he's wrong.

[00:02:35]

No. The original writer of chug chug chug you had it as 16. I hate to tell you, I know that for a fact. Now he just looked it up.

[00:02:42]

I didn't look it up. I've looked it up before. I mean, I've never looked it up.

[00:02:47]

You never know what's the lie is. It's just I just have a conflict with each other.

[00:02:53]

I thought the best segment today, I don't know what you guys thought was the best segment today, but I thought it was vending machines. I mean, after Big Suey, because Bomani, really, that's a 40 minute burst that you're just not going to hear anywhere in American media. It's not even just sports. It's he allows you to see things in a way that perhaps you hadn't considered them before. But did we have a better segment today than then vending machines?

[00:03:19]

Because I was eager to get to those polls, to God. I want to get to these polls.

[00:03:23]

I thought the I thought the sneezing the suicide segment was that Harry Carey segment was the best segment today. I did. Yeah. Because you said Harry Carey committed suicide. Mike and Mike Ride and I both both thought that Harry Carey had committed suicide and little did we know we did not. So, I mean, that's that's kind of the picture. You paint it to me. That was my favorite sex.

[00:03:44]

All right. We should make that another poll. Billy at Liberty Taj, what was the best segment today? Was it vending machines or was it Harry Kerry?

[00:03:52]

Anyone get made sad at the end of the Stevo thing? Like, I feel like it's just this is just he's just he's performing for us talking about all the, like, insane things that he was probably in a really dark place for, like, I know I'm being that guy and I'm sorry, but at the end of it, I was like, oh, this is crazy fun stories. And then I was like, man, this is sad.

[00:04:10]

Of course. I mean, drug addiction and depravity of that level is. But he's been sober for a long time. And one of the things that is a rationalization for having those stories told publicly again and again is the idea that you'll bring someone out there to help with your sobriety. It's one of the reasons that sober people get sober are so publicly vulnerable. They speak about it in in the idea that their words will reach somebody because he's telling you right there.

[00:04:39]

He's saying, look, I loved it and it's great. But also I had to quit because it was making me fundamentally crazy. I wanted to ask him more questions, like I wanted to continue. That guy can run through our entire season and I'd be good with that. Being our only celebrity prognosticator at Libertador Show was the poll. Is always the place that you get the polls, what do you have, there's two guards because I wanted to hear what some of the people had to say about that vending machine conversation is the last item left in a barren vending machine being a honey bun said.

[00:05:13]

Seventy nine percent of the audience said yes, I mean, of course, it is is the peanut butter cracker in the top three vending machine items, fifty five point five percent of the audience said no, that's an outrage.

[00:05:27]

Seriously, I think if we'd put orange crackers there, people might have a better visual of what it is we were talking about. I think that's the failure of the whole system.

[00:05:35]

OK, our pop tarts in the top of the rankings, a vending machine items or the bottom of the rankings, a vending machine items. Me and Tony think it's top Danzig's. The bottom bottom wins out fifty nine point three percent of the audience at bottom. But I think Tony made a great point.

[00:05:53]

If you're in the mood, if you haven't had breakfast yet and you stumble across a vending machine, the only thing in the vending machine that's worthy of breakfast is Pop Tarts.

[00:06:02]

That's it. What would eat? Didn't like savers.

[00:06:05]

Pop tarts are overrated. There I said there he said it, but it has been said they're just like, when have you ever had. Have you ever been satisfied with a breakfast, just like a last resort, a piece of your breakfast.

[00:06:18]

It's a piece of a balanced breakfast. It's not the entire breakfast to get a nice bowl of Frosted Flakes.

[00:06:22]

You get a nice pop tart like that's what combines so many different flavors to.

[00:06:28]

I've never like I've never said to somebody, oh, I had the best breakfast this morning. I had a s'mores pop tart. Oh yeah.

[00:06:34]

You ever put it in a jackass? You ever put it in the toaster, you jackass out of that jackass. Wow. Wow.

[00:06:43]

I think that's the guy that gets the final word on this. OK, you really knock you out of the way just as well. Have you ever had a toaster? That's what the show's going to sound like as we age. OK, I'm telling you, for however long we're doing this, it'll be a time where we're talking to people and they're not even gonna know what a toaster is. And Stewart is still going to be out here defending the toaster and calling someone a jackass better than Colin Backward segment.

[00:07:10]

How many times has he done, as you see on the 3rd? Is it the third or fourth time that he's done? It's amazing. It's like six million dollars a year.

[00:07:19]

God bless them. It's unbelievable. They take it is a great take. Fireball, eleventh hour. Joe Dewater. If that song was exactly the same and released by Calvin Harris instead of Vin Diesel, what would a Grammy?

[00:07:37]

Seventy eight percent of the audience said yes.

[00:07:39]

Billy, one of the frustrating things about what's happened with the terrestrial radio show is there's not enough room to move around inside all of the sponsorships and updates and everything else. I feel like you could have gone ten minutes on that Vin Diesel song, the smile that came across your face when we played the music. You and Chris, the both of you, you were you were swooning with delight. I wanted to hear everything you had to say about Vin Diesel singing.

[00:08:12]

I mean, I'm going to be honest, I cannot talk ten minutes about a Vin Diesel song that's like two minutes long. I think that may have helped us at that stage. That's been diesel. He released a song where of all places like Kelly Clarkson show because, of course, that's where Vin Diesel would release his new song. He thinks digital fans dancing along to it as we're watching computer screens and having people awkwardly clap off rhythm because everybody's on a computer and it's going to be a that.

[00:08:39]

What a nightmare, huh? Dancing on a digital screen like you just going like I want to watch that Kelly Clarkson show from my house, which you could just do on your TV, I'm assuming. Right. But no, I want to be part of the Kelly Clarkson show crowd. So you go and then the like. All right, guys, big news today. We're getting the release of the Vin Diesel song, and we're going to need you all to dance to it.

[00:08:59]

And we're going to show you dancing from your living rooms to the new Vin Diesel song on the Kelly Clarkson show. I think you do have 10 minutes in you.

[00:09:09]

I think if I keep poking and prodding you, I will absolutely get 10 minutes. I think Billy has ten minutes on anything. That's the thing. That's that's the thing. Here's another thing. Anything else?

[00:09:20]

Honestly, though, doesn't that seem like a nightmare to you? Like, think of nightmares that you OK, Dan, you're not someone that strikes me as someone that wants to be in virtual crowds. Right. But like, given all of the virtual crowd situations that you could be in, perhaps the one where you have to just be dancing in the virtual crowd seems like the worst of all the options, right? Yes, because most of them you're just sitting there and you're like, oh, why are you, like, a terrible option when they're like, let's dance.

[00:09:50]

And we're going to show you on national TV dancing in your living room to Vin Diesel's new song that seems like the worse of the virtual crowd situations, right? It is bad.

[00:10:00]

Chris, were you laughing? Are you red faced right now with laughter because of how quickly you worked in such a tight window? Like that was amazing the way, right. He's laughing at himself. Are you laughing at yourself there? How quick you were getting a word in with a medley yammering.

[00:10:17]

I love it because it's tough with Zoom. So when I get one in and I see you, it just makes me really happy. Virginal crowd.

[00:10:22]

I love the self celebration of it. And I thought I was trying to listen to you, Billy, and also trying to follow why it is that Chris fell out of a zoom camera, red faced laughing and how quickly he got in and out of there. Did any of you guys think, incidentally, this sound I've got to credit someone here. Is it all the smoke, Mike? I got a credit, all the smoke for playing the sound.

[00:10:46]

So they do a good job on their podcast. You've got Stephen Jackson and Barnes, aren't you forgetting his first name? And they're talking to Allen Iverson. And Allen Iverson is being a little shadowy with how it is that he's explaining that he doesn't want to name the person that he hates. The podcast is what Matt Barnes does when he's not looking for Derek Fisher. That's right.

[00:11:09]

All the smoke. Thank you.

[00:11:11]

And so here is that Barnes would have been a weird fit. Yeah. That wouldn't have fit exactly the same. All the smoke. I can't go Harrison Barnes. Yeah, not really. Seems like a nice man.

[00:11:22]

Yeah he does. Yeah. He doesn't fit. Well, it does. It's not that Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, they're just more rugged. They have a reputation that Harrison Barnes doesn't.

[00:11:31]

They are barbed wire. Harrison Barnes is not. But here is Allen Iverson. And it was one of the things that was cool about listening to this is you could tell the reverence and the all really for that. Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes, specifically because of what you're talking about, Mike, that Allen Iverson represented that to them before they became guys in the league who were giving off just all of what that is. The all the smoke podcast Allen Iverson gets credit is an inefficient basketball player for basically being the realest.

[00:12:02]

Before it was easy to be the realist.

[00:12:05]

And so he was the face of that basketball generation. While Kobe might be remembered as the best player, especially now that it's a posthumous thing, you grew up wanting the arm sleeve. You wanted to look like Allen Iverson. He transcended the sport and he set like a fashion for the time.

[00:12:22]

It was interesting to watch Steven Jackson and Matt Barnes sort of genuflect before a guy that is before them better at the stuff that they're representing. They were like bench players on this podcast, deferring to the superstar because of the cultural representation of what all this is, that Allen Iverson was living a crazy life. I did a magazine story on him where I went to Philadelphia and it was a positive magazine story and my only real interactions with Allen Iverson over an extended period.

[00:12:55]

And the stories were amazing and how he was living. You know, a guy would always get to have to be sent back to the city they were in because Allen Iverson had left blank amount of cash in the hotel room, tens of thousands of dollars in the hole. Tell room and on multiple times, he was living such a crazy hip hop life, right, just living the basketball superstar nightclub life, showing up at practices with liquor on his breath, making Larry Brown crazy, you know, having that that practice rant because everyone knew how hard Allen Iverson played.

[00:13:35]

Let's be honest, though. It seems like the tiniest of things can drive Larry Brown crazy.

[00:13:40]

You're absolutely right. So now imagine that tiny thing being six foot tiny Allen Iverson because he was making him totally crazy, but a totally beloved athlete. And he comes on here and I really respect and admire the relationship Stephen A. Smith has with Allen Iverson because Stephen A. Smith is friends with Allen Iverson. But Stephen A. Smith has also called out Allen Iverson in a way that was very public, that helped save Allen Iverson from some of his demons because Stephen A.

[00:14:08]

Smith was reporting that Allen Iverson was drinking too much and partying too much post career. And he was doing it because he was worried about Allen Iverson and the fact that they've been able to repair their relationship. When Allen Iverson was really mad at Stephen A. Smith for reporting that stuff and all Stephen Smith said was, hey, I could have reported a lot worse about you. And you know what? I'm trying to I'm trying to help you here by by reporting your embarrassment to the world.

[00:14:35]

So perhaps you might get some help anyway. He's not talking about Stephen Smith here. I don't know who he's talking about, even though they're telling me it's Whitlock. But many of you thought he was talking about me because it involves my father. So here's the sound from all the smoke.

[00:14:49]

I know you hate me and trust me. Trust me, I don't hate nobody. Yes, I do. I hate you is one guy that, you know, I'm talking to the day talking about right now. No, to one guy. No, it ain't what you think it is. I got to love it. So, you know, I know people think it is not you, but is a guy. They do exactly what you do.

[00:15:13]

And just trust me the way you hate me. I hate you, too, is I don't mean the feeling is so mutual and you don't help me and I don't help you. And I'm fine. I'm fine. How here regardless of how much you talk about me. All right. All right. Just no long time. And I and I'm not mentioning your name because I only want the whole world to even know that when I give you that type of love.

[00:15:40]

But, you know you know, you and your dad, you and your dad, both the both of you see now that right there.

[00:15:49]

See that? That's much for me. I was enjoying that clip, just listening to it the same way you guys were, the same way you guys were, which is like who's it going to go after? Is you going to name him? Is going to name him. He's going after somebody. He's going hard here. And then he threw my father's face into the mix. And I was confused because I heard that. And I also looked in a mirror for a moment and asked myself, wait a minute, have I done something wrong or is my father done something wrong to Allen Iverson?

[00:16:16]

There's a good chance your dad may have and you had no idea. But I now I understand, having heard the Sam, why you would think it's you, because we've never met Mr. Whitlock.

[00:16:25]

And so we know I love how everybody just assumes that it's Skipp like he is just the go to I hate this person in the media, like. Oh, I know exactly. You talk about him too. Like, nope, it's not Schipp actually.

[00:16:38]

But Chris, it was Schipp. It's no longer Skipp, it's now Whitlock. And is that. The thing is, I was going to the barber shop and I went down and sat down in the chair and all of a sudden I see that come across my time line, you and your daddy. And I was like, oh, my God, this is not going to be good tomorrow. We are going to have a lot to talk about.

[00:16:57]

So thankfully, it was well, he said it as if it were some sort of hint as to who it was. Right. Yeah. I love how it's. Well, why are you assuming a sweatshop? Yeah, maybe it's Shannon Sharpe. I mean, it could be anywhere. I mean, how do we know? Who's got a famous dad besides Alex, we've got the go, Alex, right? Oh, it is a Jack Hollandsworth. Oh, yeah.

[00:17:20]

Chris Collinsworth. Say something bad. Wow.

[00:17:23]

Hmm. Jack Hollandsworth, some head of hair, good hair. And he's really good at that job.

[00:17:29]

Maybe a tiny ego, which I guess don't want an ego. Sondos buck me.

[00:17:33]

Oh, Jack. Bob must have said something about Iverson, Kennedy, Albert, Harry Kennedy Jr..

[00:17:39]

Marv Albert, his brother that.
