(upbeat music) ♪ I was so dumb but I hopped on a plane ♪ ♪ I was drove right back to the 541 ♪ - Wait, what's, oh yeah, you mean Dr. Disrespect? - Yeah, I don't know what he or who he is. - He's just a really famous streamer, yeah. - There's nothing else you needed now, really. - I guess I just, I don't know his kick, like the mustache with the hair and the, Jesus, what's happening? - Glasses, I just don't know what. - Who's schtick? - What his schtick was. - Dr. Disrespect. - That's Dr. Disrespect, right? - Oh, his schtick. - Yeah, it was being an asshole, can you hear me? - Yeah, no, we're good. By the way, we're turned on, by the way, so just heads up. - By the way, so just heads up. - This schtick was just being an asshole. - Yeah, okay, and he's also a huge 49ers fan, which I learned, so that's fantastic to know. There we go. - So, thing, there we go. - Was people seeing his 49er content and saying, oh, he thought they said 40 miners. - Wow. - Or something there, you know? - That's been the interesting thing about the Kendrick song, 'cause I watched a good portion of that concert with my 12-year-old, and I did not know this going into that, but he is a humongous fan of that song and knows all the words to the song, and we're, as you know, if you watched it, Kendrick did the song like six, seven times in a row, and every single time, my kid is like, "A minor," and I'm like, "Am I okay with that?" (laughing) Is it appropriate for my kid to... I guess it's like, be aware of a pedophile, I guess is... - Yeah, I don't like it. - The only thing about all of that is Kendrick won the beef, no shit, but the hammering on the pedophile thing, and I've seen some very funny social media stuff about it. It's very key went on from a few years ago where everyone you don't like is just a pedophile. Like Drake might be, he might be, but seems a little unfounded. - Well, I mean, I, at least I'll deal with that. I deal with that better than there's that other weird queuing on right-wing people that think every celebrity, female celebrity is somehow a man too. Have you seen all of those? It's just like, we might have to shut the internet down for a while and let people come back to some reality. - What are we doing? What are we doing? - It's an election season. It's only getting worse. It's only getting worse. - Yeah, that's right. - The first debate's coming up, right? - Yeah, tomorrow, okay. - Yeah, are we all super excited? - Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. - I mean, I'm gonna say we are in a time right now where if the three of us wanted to, we could become very, very rich. - It would just be racist. - It would just be so right-wing racist with just everything, just, it doesn't have to be real, that's the thing. You could just make stuff up and you make a lot of money. - Yeah. - That's insane. - Yeah, sort of like corner the organ sports super right-wing racist hot take podcast market. Which that-- - I think there already is that with, where's the Huston Jopkins at, is he on podcast? - Oh, oh, oh. - It's, I mean, oh, but nobody hears arguing. (laughing) - I have, there have been times where I've kind of thought it'd be fun to do whatever the bare minimum is to run for some seat or office in Eugene, and just be a weirdo for like a month. And you're not gonna win, or... - They really hope not. - You hope you don't win because that shit's free, you're not here. - No, my guy, my guy, that is the case every city council election cycle. There is a guy who doesn't have a name. He like, he like-- - Did the wizard guy? - Yeah, Bulldog, Bulldog the wizard who's running for city council in the South Eugene district, of course. And yeah, you can do that if you want to, you can do that if you want to at any point. - Well, I don't know if you saw, there was like a fake thing popped up, this guy that was moderating some, whatever that Colorado district that Lauren Boberts like running in, there was like the Bates with all the people running in it. And it's like, one of the guys like, oh, you just, do you have anything to say about like the reckless DUI you got like two weeks ago? That's the level, that's all that, you could be that and run in local elections. It's insane. - Clearly-- - That guy was-- - Clearly that guy was-- - That guy was-- - The local police department is out to get me 'cause they know I'm going to challenge them on these tough crimes and with my new initiatives. Yeah. - I'm sure some of the videos I've seen are edited a little bit. - Oh, I'm done here. - I'm done here. - But that moderator fucked those people up, all of them. Bobert, that guy, like he was the moderator, like you know that, well, to bring it back to, you know, they're not like us, the wop, wop, wop. That's what he was doing off, it was just like, he was asking my question, like, oh, so you're not going to answer it, wrong, wop, yep. You got a DUI and you don't lie about it, you try to pay off, wop, what, you, bleh, bleh. He was just killing them all, it was a funny thing to watch. - I had a, I had a speaking of that line in that song, I had a debate with the 12 year old about it because he's telling me, yeah, it's wop, wop, wop. And I'm like, no, it's fucking not. Like, wop is wet ass pussy. Kendrick Lamar's not going to say that in the song, no fucking way. And he's like, he pulls up the lyrics. It's w-o-p, w-o-p, w-o-p. And I'm like, he's saying, pop, pop, pop, pop. Like, why would he not say pop? He's like, he's shooting the person with his lyrics. Pop, pop, pop. Why is he saying wop? By the way, both versions of wop. What are we talking about here? It's like, oh, it's w-a-p, or it's like a racial slur against Italian people. Like, what are you doing, Kendrick? - Yeah, that's, yeah. - What are we having in the 90s style? We just go like, then you- - Bumba? - 100% no- - B-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra. - Yeah, you plus, yeah, exactly. - I see the Bumba-clot era from like 2017 and '18 ruin that, I think. - What are that white guy from London that's doing like his "Rosto-Fari" style? Yeah, I think that did kill it. - Bumba-clot. - B-ra-ra-ra. - I know you're not talking about an former. - No, he's Canadian, not British. - Yeah. I don't know if you know this, but he licks your boom, boom down. I don't know if you know this. I think that's what he says. Speaking of not knowing what the lyrics are.

It's currently on Netflix, so watch it, listen to us talk about it on Sunday. No, not the Josh Brolin Spike Lee vehicle. No, not that one. Probably not going to see that, probably not going to see that. Or the, another one I sort of made a rule to not watch was the girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Like, it's got Daniel Craigin it. Yeah, yeah, so it's got Daniel Craigin it. Like, he's awesome, I heard it's really good. It's like, I think Fincher directed it, so it's like, there's no way it's bad really, but the original is just so good. I'm just like, no, I'm not going to-- I know you're not about it. No, you're not about to read some books either, so. Not going to do it. Yeah. All right, where should we start? I mean, I guess that, I mean, there's no point in doing it, but the draft is currently going. You know, I was going to say, like, where should we start, but like, really, that's the only thing to talk about this week, too. So, the NBA draft is happening right now as we're recording this. Go ahead. Before we get to that, I'll-- 'Cause I know I'll forget about it. Literally, I think it's-- I'm on my head, and it has been for, like, three weeks. The-- Have you guys been following the NFL Sunday Ticket Antitrust thing? Kinda, yeah. Yeah. Like, ESPN was ready to get, like, wanted to give us Sunday Ticket for $70. And basically, the NFL 40 years ago was smart, or not really 40, but they were smart to write in a little like loophole in the Antitrust, the inner workings, that they can do what they do with Sunday Ticket, and it's fine, even though they're literally saying, "Oh, we want people to pay more." So, people will watch, like, CBS and NBC and Fox. Like, so those numbers don't go down. Right. What the-- Why can't someone else-- Why can-- I want to cook the books. Why can't I cook the books? I just want to cook the books on anything. Anything. And I don't know-- I've never gotten Sunday Ticket. Do they do it, like, the MLB package, where they will black it out? Like, if you're in the area. So-- No. Why couldn't they just do that, then? Well, I mean, if you're in the area, like, if you live in Seattle and you have Sunday Ticket, yes, you can't watch it on there. You have to watch it on Fox. But, like, I-- and Daniel, we're going to give you a team-specific option, and I don't do-- I just do the red zone. I like the red zone and bang it back and forth between Fox and CBS. But, like, we just love the NFL so much that we're like-- they want to charge us 400 bucks just because. Pretty much, yeah. Just because that will increase their TV deals with the other networks. And we're fine with-- I mean, I know we are, but-- like, we're fine with that. Well, we're only fine with it because we just learned about this. [LAUGHS] Like, we're not-- we're not fine with it now, now that we-- and by the way, like, to be able to cook books, you got to have a lot of money. And so, like, we don't have a lot of money. So we can't cook any of that. Oh, they don't have a full money. Yeah, exactly. So the only way-- the only way you can cook books and get away with it is if you're powerful enough to defend yourself in court, which normals like us. Nope. Well, they also know that people are not going to stop watching the NFL. I mean, one of the funniest things of everything coming from this MAGA shit is people saying they're going to boycott the NFL. Like, how long did that last, maybe, a week or two? Two games? Like, oh, shit, I can't-- Not even that, yeah. Yeah. The Steelers, it's like, they have everyone-- we could, as a group, be like, hey, we're not going to pay this shit. But it's going to-- people are going to still buy the package, even if it's $200, or whatever, whatever the price. Isn't it close to $400? Is it that much now, yeah? I think it went-- I think-- I do think it went down a year or so ago when it went from direct TV to YouTube TV. And is it on both now? I can't remember. I do think it went down a little. But it's still pretty expensive. For, yeah, for 17 weeks? At least basically, you get 10,000 games to watch. It was kind of hilarious how quick 45 went from talking about the failing NFL, the failing Saturday Night Live, the failing New York Times, blah, blah, blah. How he would just say that. And then somebody would get in his ear and be like, actually, they're doing really, really well. You should maybe move on. He's like, OK. And then you never heard anybody say it ever again. I don't know why they keep trying. They tried with Kaepernick. Clearly, it didn't work. Now, especially with Bud Light. And the Kelsey's and Taylor Swift and stuff. It's like they keep trying to find reason. That's it. I've had it. I'm so tired of seeing Taylor Swift on TV. Oh my god. I'm never going to watch football again. Fucking 10 minutes later. Yeah. It used to be all the good old boys talking about a black athlete that is sitting out because they want more money. That's when they're like, I'm not watching this team. Look at this guy. Look at these guys. I football, it's football. Well, this is America. We'd watch-- we would watch football no matter fucking what. Like, let's all be honest with ourselves. We're watching our favorite team no matter what. There was a period of time, probably like 16, 17. A round of the time Trump was making it a thing. I still watched, but the game was just boring just because the way to-- not the loophole, but the market inefficiency was just throw nothing but four-yard slants. Five-yard just everything was quarterback, one-step white slot guy, bang. It was so boring, but that was so-- but it was so temporary. I mean, and I still watched. We watched it as a night. We watched it as more boring. We watched it in the '90s when it was full-back dives. Well, it was just-- it was just funny that in a couple of years like the Patriots went from this like vertical game with Moss, it was just at the time insane. And then they had a three-year run where it was like, a little screen to Welker, a little screen to Edelman, a little screen to this guy. A seam to Gronk. A seam to Gronk, it's a seam to Aaron Hernandez. And Gronk did cool stuff with the ball, but I'm just-- it was a little boring. If we can make it-- But I still watched. Yeah, if as fans, we can make it through a season in which Peyton Hillis is the NFL MVP, I think we'll be OK. I think the league's going to be fine. There's our Make America Great Again fucking white running back MVPs, Jesus. Where's Mike Austin when you need him, right? I think I got excited about an Alex Smith and TJ Yeats wildcard game in 2016. So like I said, I had my opinions on the offense. But I still watched. I never made that lie that I didn't watch. Speaking of crooked, have you seen Ski, what King's quarterback has been doing? Oh, Jesus Christ. I don't know what he's talking to Alex Smith and I think-- It is gross. I think it's the Lakers. That's his biggest gross. It is really gross. Yeah. Have you seen what his quarterback's been doing? I'm sure it's something, you know? He's something not very American. What he doesn't care about is the kids. Because he's out here doing the sneak court's light commercials. And look, I like the silver bullet as much as the next red-blooded American. But it is against NFL rules for players to promote alcohol. And he is literally in a court-- he's in a court's light commercial saying he's going to be put into a pod for a future court's light commercial to come out after he retires. It's like, that's a court's light commercial, motherfucker. I love that that's where the NFL draws their moral lines on. The silver bullet. But don't forget our partner's drafting's. Yeah. Exactly. So stupid. Well, except no players getting paid for promoting drafting. Fair enough, yeah. They did corner that market, too. Well, we could get the money. Sorry. Exactly that. Yeah. Who do you think you are talking about it can get the money? Who do you think you are, Mahomes, taking our advertising dollars away from us? Yeah, I know. Yeah. The one thing podcasters have is draft kings and like hymns. Exactly. Schtaller's shape club. I mean, that's-- What was the blue, blue chew? We still got to get that blue chew. Yeah, blue chew. We still got to get that blue chew. Here's a new sack for when you want to refresh down there when you're doing a hoo go. Flesch sack. The ad reads on podcaster. Very bad. There's very bad. Is fresh sack real? No. We need to invent it. The product is real. It's not called fresh sack. But there is one where they're like talking about when you need-- Yeah, in a pinch. Yeah. The one I actually hate that I'm hearing now on podcast and even kind of local terrestrial radio is like-- it's not dude wipes. But it's dude like-- it's just a different one. And they're like, here's ASMR for man scrubbers. And they go, hear that, hear that? That's through the thicket of your hair. I'm like, what? What? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, skitter off. Can we-- oh, we all got to do it, but-- Can we talk about that? Harry, uh, whole is weird. It's weird. It's unnecessary. Can we have a conversation about ASMR? Oh, I hate it. It drives me insane. Dude, I can't stand it. And not stand it. It like makes my skin crawl when I hear anything like it. Because even my kid watches Game Grumps. And they have their YouTube channel. They did this joke thing with ASMR where they put one of their friends down and just said stupid shit in his ear and made gross weird noises or whatever. But even them just talking in the whisper ASMR microphone thing makes my skin crawl. I'm literally like-- You can turn that off right now. Like, I can't fucking handle it. And I don't get how that's like a-- I mean, everybody's different, whatever. But like, I don't get how that's like a fetish, like how people fall asleep listening to that and stuff like that. It's the complete opposite for me. Yeah. I'm pretty sure I mentioned it a couple of weeks ago. The food ASMR rabbit hole I fell down, which is obviously that's next level gross. But even just-- Yeah, the scratching and shit. Yeah. No, no. Stop it. It's weird. Stop it. It's weird. Yeah. I don't like it. Yeah, like Wubble says too, like in people who enjoy watching those pimple popping videos and stuff. It's like, oh, like, I don't get it. I don't get it. Everybody has their thing. Like, I'm happy for you, but I don't get it. It's-- No, I get it. Yeah, like millions of views, it's like-- Apparently, there's a large swath of the country that's down with that. I'm in the minority. Yeah. Speaking of swath, though, we do got to come up with the TSB brand of ball wipes that needs to happen. So we'll figure that out. We'll get our team of advertising gurus on it. Get our wizards or add me on. Add wizards. Who is the add wizard that came up with this one? Exactly. I think we should make our mods do it. Hey, mods, come up with merch and sell it for us and then give us all the proceeds. Thanks. Fair enough. OK, so NBA draft is happening right now. Wait, hold on a sec. Hold on a sec. I'm watching NBA draft. I just saw a Taco Bell commercial. It was for a crunch wrap that had a giant cheese in it. Oh, yeah, that's their new gimmick. First time I've seen it. A giant one. Cheese cheese cheese cheese it like the crackers. Yes. Hey, watch your mouth, sir. Like like the crack ass crackers. But you're in sugar. Wait, like what do you say? He said one. So like one big one. One big one. A big one. A big what? That's a big cracker. I'm a racist. Guys, that's a huge ass cracker. But the funny thing about that is I support Taco Bell. A thousand percent in their weird gimmick-free stuff. It's Taco Bell. Like lean into the absurdity. 90% of it's going to go away. Like in that Oregon uniform video they dropped the other day. They basically said they was the head of Whitey and Kennedy. White said, hey, the people who last in this business fail the most often. So we're prepared to fail all the time. I appreciate Taco Bell for the effort. And you're going to fail. I usually have interest in your crap. The cheese it, crunch wrap, and the cheese taco. No interest. I don't see the direction. Shoot or shoot. It's all you need to do. Yeah. I get it. I get it. And this is after being-- you know, I've got to be honest. On draft stock, Taco Bell's gone down a little bit with this cheese-it thing and their cantina menu. I mean, pulleys. That's not real white breast chicken. I have seen white breasts on chickens. Why only white breasts, huh? Huh? You're a cracker. You're a cracker. What do you got? What do you got? What do you got? You're not Mexican. You're what do you got? What do you got against dark meat? But I don't understand. I honestly-- I don't get the gimmick on the cheese-it thing. I know. I mean, like I said, if it's out for like a week or two, you'll get the dumb people out of go. Be like, oh, I've got to try this thing. I'm sure there's that shit ton of content creators that do food stuff. You're like, of course. That's what it's built for now. But yeah, I don't see a normal person ordering a crap with a giant cheese-it in it. It shook me seeing that commercial first time I saw it. Yeah, it shook me. It's jarring. It's jarring. No, the-- yeah, I agree. The first time I saw it, I had to sit down my 10-year-old and explain to him that sometimes bad things just happen, like 9/11, Dennis Dixon in Tucson, cheese-it crunch wrap. Like, just sometimes-- That's better. I mean, it's the summer of 2020, you know what I mean? Like, it's just sometimes bad. Sometimes things happen. You've just got to roll with the punches. And I told him, hey, we'll take this loss. We'll take this cheese-it loss as a culture. We'll wake up tomorrow. We'll come into the office. We'll punch in. And wonder what? We're going to see what we can do to be better. And if we're better at noon, then we're at 10. We're better at 2, then we're at noon. That when we leave the office, we were better for that bad crunch wrap. You know what I mean? I've never been more proud of being in a room with you guys, your cheese-it haters. I've never been more proud. Proud to be an American. Let's go, fuck-o-taco time. Let's go. Let's go get you a taco. Crispy meat burritos all day, go. Has it ever been to taco time lately? Not lately. I haven't been in at least, honestly, probably 10 years. They're still kicking. I never see anybody there, like when I drive by. The 1 OS 11th is-- we make fun of the subway on Beltline. Or not Beltline. Barger in '99 is being like the sad subway. The taco time on West 11th, it's a nice building. Like, it is set back for the road. It's good. But that's a sad-- I've never seen anyone there. It's a hole. Like, that part of West 11th is like a black hole. Like, because-- Oh, you got the armies right there. No, this is what I'm saying. It's like, literally right when you go past-- I think it's like there's a Burger King there now on the right. And then there's like the Hampton Inn on the left. And then-- Oh, I love the Hampton Inn. Once you pass that, it's a fucking hole. It's a hole until you get to the shopping center with Target. Like, you know what I mean? It's just-- Rico's over there. Oh, Walmart, Astro Gas, little credit union. Oh. Jung's Mongolian. Yeah, Mongolian grill. It's bustling. Now we're talking. Exactly. A lot of people call that little Manhattan. That's all I'm saying. That little square. The people in West Eugene right there. They do. Wait, are you-- You all know, man, I swear. I'm not lying. I think they call it weatee, West of the cocko time. Yeah, yeah. Good little-- it's a good little parcel of land. He's saying that part of West 11th is becoming too gentrified. And we got to-- It is. Man, we got to figure it out. We got our own nimby app for the pandemic. And we cleared out that entire homeless camp. Because we can't have it next to Walmart and Target. I mean, just down the road, we got the fancy, like, locks making facility there. They do. Yeah. And I don't-- You flurry of chocolates and goods are right there. It's right there. Turn away. Jesus. Dude, that fucking open field next to a Walmart is tailor-made for a homeless camp. What are we doing? Like, just make that area a homeless camp. I think they've been building a lot of like apartment complexes out there. The hell they have. No, those are like-- There is a little bit of slow creep, but-- There is a creep. I think I'm pretty sure I mentioned it a couple years ago. But I went-- I was at that Walmart. And I had time to kill. I was like, fuck, there used to be a racetrack here in that open field. Like, Eugene's Speedway was there. And so I was like, fuck, I don't know. I was going to go walk in the grass. So I walk through that like-- Bristles. Dissels and bristles. Yep. Cement. Who knew? It doesn't go away. It's still there. A lot of weeds poking through. But yeah, the oval is what gearheads call it. It was still there. It's like Tupac, man. It's poetry. It's the roses that grew through concrete, right? Exactly. Yeah. Beautiful. I'm going to let you know. You think the Eugene's Speedway is going to let you disrespect Pac? You know what I mean? No, not a chance. Not our Speedway. I think West 11th might be your list off. #theculture. Yikes. Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. OK. NBA draft. Ready? Draft. OK. All right. As King gets up, King's like, nope, absolutely Matt. Not talking about the fucking NBA draft. So I will, while he's up, say, the Blazers did a couple of things. First, they traded Brogdon in the 14th pick for Denny Avdigia. Never heard of this person before. But he averaged 14 points, seven rebounds, and four assists last year. So put up some numbers, I guess. But for one of the worst teams ever, I mean, those were terrible. Absolutely. That said, I think the idea behind that is Portland still had the seventh pick. And getting rid of Brogdon's contract was really the thing they needed to do. Oh, I was saying, get rid of Brogdon, it makes sense. And I saw, I got who was-- someone in the discord was like, you know, the 14th pick, especially in how bad this draft is this year, you're probably not going to get someone very good. So you're going to save yourself money by not having to pay that player. You could just bring someone up, or give someone to me on the minimally. You're going to get-- I don't know what you're talking about, because Kalil Ware was picked like right around there. They could have had Kalil Ware, so we're going to-- Well, you don't draft giant white centers, and then go and get Kalil Ware right after that. That's true. So yeah, I mean, I think getting one-- I think the trade was good. Just getting rid of that contract, first of all. Getting rid of a pick, you're probably not-- there's not going to be a lot of value there. And then getting a player who was OK, like he's good. Like, 14 points a game is 14 points a game, even if it's for a garbage fucking team. Still, he'll be a decent piece if they end up keeping them, whatever. He's at least like 6, 8, or 6, 9. That's something, I guess. That's something. And then right after that, they do use the number 7 pick and get Donovan Klingen from Yukon. Yukon. So-- Creates a little bit of a glut in the middle with DeAndre Aidan, but don't trade him. I mean, really good. If you can't, they can. Yeah, but you know, like really good college defender, 7 foot 2, he was kind of a force for Yukon last year. So, I mean, did they actually draft a good big man for like the first time ever, maybe? I don't know. Who knows, I mean, not to put a little pisser on this whole little segment, but-- Oh, I think so. But like I've said, Jody Allen's still the absentee owner. My energy towards the blazers is minimal. No. Shane Sharp, we still don't fucking know because he's played garbage time or been injured. Goop, we got no fucking clue. And the worst part is he really didn't play with Shane Sharp. So the two people you're selling us on, we have no fucking idea. Maybe Klingen's good, and they all three play, and we see something going into next year. But you want to know what? We all were clamoring to tank to get Cooper Flag out of Duke. So I guess we don't want them to show anything, which is-- Well, that's good. I guess that's good they trade Broglen because Broglen actually is good. So you trade out good, bring in not as good, be worse, get the number one pick, right? Yeah, and I do think they trade Anthony Simons before like the trade deadline. Well, I think with that pick, you think they've got to try to move 18 because why have two guys that can't shoot outside 10 key? I don't know. They probably try to move Jeremy Grant, too. I mean, if you're going full, I mean, there aren't-- they've been deep in a full rebuild. But if you're in the rebuild, you try to get the number one pick. That's what you do. Give yourself a chance, I guess. And if Hope, Cooper Flag is-- Yeah, well, go Cooper Flag's generational. Yeah, no, like I said, again, I don't want to pee on anyone's front porch on the blazers, but I'll tune in opening night. I'll tune in around Christmas maybe. And then by January 1st, I kind of hope they're just trying to lose every game, like honestly, unless we see, like, oh, shit, scoot's good, sharp is good. Klagen, OK, oh, you look at me a player. Unless we see that, just try it down again. Just shut it down. Because some teams tank, and you see the light, or you can talk yourself into it right away, like OKC. They got rid of Melo, which was, at the time, everyone thought he was done. You know, they got rid of Russ. They got rid of Paul George, which brought them instantly SGA. And even though SGA had only played, I think, a year, I think, maybe two in the NBA, people were like-- but they were like, yes, that's a player. That's a player. And maybe someone else was NBA hipsterism that has turned out to come true. But no one is looking at Shane Sharp after two years ago, and that guy's good. That guy has it. He showed flashes, but yeah. Of course. But like I'm saying, they just didn't play together. And that's the hard sell for me. So like, when people are banging on the blazers, you know, picking Klingen, and I know most of that is just doing a bit. I get it. Who is Myers Winners? Is there Collins? Well, OK, they don't actually play similar. Those other two did. Klingen is-- He's more Greg Oden. He's a true big. So I get it. But who'd you want it, seven in the worst draft? No, who did you want? If you had number-- the blazers had number one in the year. Do you really like-- Yeah, either the French guys that went one and two. I mean, they're toss-ups, too. Right. It's not like when Piyama will ask you, we're like, oh, no. No, like he's bad. Like he's going to be good. Like this year, I didn't watch a draft lottery, because I knew they weren't getting up high. And even if they were, didn't care, because of what everyone said about the draft. Last year, I was driving home and listening to the draft on the radio. And when it was-- literally, when they were like, shit, it's either going to be basically the blazers or the spurs. I fucking pulled over. I was like, oh, I got a fucking-- oh, fuck you. I was in. They had-- there was nothing in this draft. And the wembeys and the little brons and those guys-- the guys that won, the shacks that you just know without a doubt can't fail, or probably named. Yeah, I'm probably going to do that. Yeah, sure. I probably named half of them in League history right there. This year didn't happen. So whatever, who the fuck cares? No, but you were saying how Oklahoma City did it by trading Paul George and getting shagilling. It's like the blazers missed their window on trading dame to when they could have gotten an actual, like budding superstar. They traded in too late. All they could get was draft picks for it, really. So Mr. Window on that. But see, I would quote the blazers more to what they need to do, what the Celtics did. You know, you dismantle the team and get lucky in the draft. Get Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown, kind of thing. And made-- like I said, we don't know. Maybe Sharpand, Scoop, is that. I don't know. We don't know. It's funny you bring up the Celtics, because once upon a time, they were supposed to get the number one pick, which would have been either Odin or KD, and they didn't. So they said, fuck it. Sucked that year, made a bunch of trades the next year, caught Kevin Garnett, got Ray Allen, won the title. So if they got the number one pick and it was Odin, which was the odds-on favorite thing, Boston Celtics. It's just one year, but history would be a little bit different for them. Are you trying to say that anything is possible? [GASPS] Yeah. Is Bronnie about to get picked? Did I just see that? No, OK, all right. No, I'm pretty sure the Celtics is drafted a white guy for Creighton. They sure did. No, like Google is asking if Bronnie was going to Boston. I thought he was ahead of me, because I have Hulu, has live sports, and that's like 30 seconds behind. Hulu has live delays? Hulu has live delays, yeah. It has delayed sports. Speaking of Hulu, do you guys watch the bear? Apps to fucking Lutely, yep. I fucking love how many people tonight on East Coast, because I think the times are different. Tune in to FX and discovered that the bear on FX tonight is the bear on FX, but a Hulu exclusive. What are we doing? I love that. They did that with 100 kenny. It was like, it was like year six, the letter Kenny, and it's like, oh, Hulu original, the letter Kenny. What the fuck? This was on Canadian TV. No, it's the channels like Crave or something in Canada. That's literally where it started, where it airs all the time. Yeah, whatever, man. FX original, but Hulu original also. Is it Crave with a C or a K? C, yeah. K, Crave with a K is very FF radio. It is, yeah. Welcome to 89.7, the Crave. Coming up next, Dave Matthew. It's definitely Dave Matthews. It's definitely an R&B channel, Crave. You think so? I can picture, hey, it's 98.7, the Crave. Coming at you from Detroit. And next, coming up, whoo-bustey. I just wanted to say whoo-bustey. You did. This was all a bit, just to say whoo-bustey. On that note, did you guys see that-- what's his name? The guy died. Yeah, the shifty guy from the butterfly, so-- Shifty, make shifters. Yeah. Come, come, come, come, come. I saw the, like, Shifty McDanielson died. I was like, whoa, fuck. That's your name? Oh, man. You think it sounds like the old, like, old-timey player, like baseball player's names? Yeah. Oh, it'll shift him to Danielson. Yeah, I'll tell you what, I'll shift him to Danielson and hit the ball, I'll cut your mouth. I got to say, that song is a banger. You know what? The butterfly song? A song's a banger. Oh, but dance with me. Come and dance with me. See, I didn't know if it-- does a one-hit wonder really need the, like, breaking news of dying? But it was such a banger that everybody knows the song. It was big enough banger. Yeah, exactly. Am I mistaken or did the music video look like it was shot out of Avatar before Avatar? 1,000%. And it was him, like, he was in the video. Like, he should not have been in that music video. But he was the featured player, man. Like, he was, like, he in his, like, weird face and his weird tattoos or just, like, float around. Should be there. Yeah, they invented the technology. They'd become crazy. They'd become crazy. [MUSIC PLAYING] I'm, like, trying really hard to not speak ill of the dead, but that guy was creepy. Man, see how hard it's going to hit us when the lead singer from Coron dies. Oh, my God. I can't have that happen. With a K, by the way. A cordless K. That's 2Ks. Let's not do the rule of threes. Let's not do that. What radio station is that? No, no, no. We did Kendrick Lamar. 104.7, the Crave. And now that. That's the K, K, K. We did it. We did it. Booble says Crave is a rock station in Dallas, by the way. Oh. See? I'm telling you. Yeah, there's no mistake rock enough to be on that, though. I mean, it's tub thumping that much of a banger rock finger. I hate that it's tub thunk. That was Chambalwumba, though, wasn't it? Yeah. Well, it's Boobestank, didn't we? Well, Boobestank was hard. Yeah, hard for Boobestank. They were hard. I don't think I'm looking. I mean-- They definitely were like, yeah, oh, man. Let me sing it while we're singing it. I get knocked out, but I get up again. That's tub thumping. That's tub thumping it. I hate that that's the name of a song. I'll take a walk, a drink, take a side, a drink. Some songs that remind me of the good times. Oh, Johnny Boy, Johnny Boy. Again, King, you're your long-term hatred of everything from the UK. That's fucking Hoobestank, right? I mean-- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I came between 40. OK, so Hoobestakes. Hi, Tony. You getting a YouTube ad? Right. I did. I found crawling in the dark. [LAUGHS] That's it. All right, guys. Give us your best call on 107.9, the crave, for Hoobestank, or take us into the 930 hour. [LAUGHTER] Hey. No, you got to drop that voice. You got to drop that voice down, Obitsky. You got to drop that voice. I'm going to get their high temp. Are they high? That's like, hey, welcome back. Isn't that-- or is that more-- Hey, welcome back to 107.9, the craze. Save. Yeah, you got it. That's pump. That's pump. That's different. It'd be more like, yeah. Berry White. Yeah, it has like, welcome back. Welcome. Welcome back. [LAUGHTER] I don't wacky-- no wacky traffic update or anything for us. No, see, isn't that-- it's like morning. Yes, definitely morning. That's definitely morning. Yeah. Traffic on the nines, right? Is that a thing? Oh, I'm coming. What does that mean? Hey, guys, this is Justin McCheese for 107.2, bringing you traffic. Wow, it's grid block on the 107. And speaking of a cruel summer, here's Taylor Swift. Take it away. Take it away. [LAUGHTER] Oh, boy. Hoob a stank, all right. Yeah, I'm done with him. Done looking at him, stank. OK. I thought you would, honestly. I thought you would have been a Hoob a stank guy. You look like a Hoob a stank guy. Oh, how dare you. I didn't think I was like a-- Is there a meaner thing anyone's ever said? I was worried about that cake in like 3/11. There's-- I remember there was like-- it was going to get dirty. There was a-- you know, Brian Pasein, the comedian. So he's really tall over like a guy with a big beard. Nerd. He did a lot of VH1 stuff. Yeah, he told a joke where like a stripper told him once that you look like you like to bang like tight buttholes. And he's like, I look like that. God, can I do anything to not look like that? [LAUGHTER] As opposed to what? Right. Maybe he looks like someone that likes to bang a loose butthole. Loose ones were not at all. I need to know what the options here are. Do I look like an anal pedageway? At least I'm picky. Yeah, there's only three options there. Tight, loose, or none. Yeah. Yeah. There's two ones there. Although, I'm a nerd, I'm a nun guy, not my channel. Like, why do you think of that when you look at me? [LAUGHTER] So that's what you looked at me and thought I was a hubastank guy. Yeah. Yeah, man. Actually, now that I was looking at pictures of hubastank, they're not as rough and tumble as I thought they were. No, that's why I'm surprised they're considered a rock. And that's why I thought you were a hubastank guy. Because you really look like a rumbler back in the day. Rough and tumble kind of guy, yeah. Powerman 5000. That 100%. You'd give someone the devil horns and just rock their world with kinetic energy. [LAUGHTER] What kinetic energy. [LAUGHTER] I'm with you. Yeah. When you had that-- when you did the goatee thing, you could totally, like, spider-man, but instead of webs, it was just rock. Just rock. I was trying to compete with the guy from Static X, that had a huge one. There you go. Huge goatee. And the hair, because you also needed spiky hair. Who's the dude from Anthrax, who had, like, the really big-- I had a long braided one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had a huge braided goatee, yeah. Oh, we haven't even talked about the hot tooey chick. Let's not. I think we're hoping that I was going to go away by now. It was a good meme. It was a good-- yeah, for, like, a good week. But it's starting to drag now. Sure. Oh, yeah, yeah. But that-- like, the song I put in the discord where it was just an AI bumper song behind it. We're like, two, spit on that guy. It was good. That was the zenith. That was it. And then we saw the top of the mountain. Yeah. And then our parents started, like, sharing them on Facebook. And then that's it. That's when memes go to die. Yeah, so-- Yeah, yes. The first time I saw a child under 10, it wasn't mine, by the way, just scrolling through TikTok. And a hot tooey thing came on, and I looked, and they clearly did-- they didn't get it. You don't know what it is, yeah. I was like, OK, we've hit the-- Well, I'll tell you where it finally, for me at least, was now it started to become bad, is it was during golf over the weekend. That's what people were saying after people, like, hit big drives. You know, that's the classic, people yell dumb shit right after they hit it, and they start doing that. I'm like, all right, this is-- Well, we're talking like, PGA Tour? I think it might have been on Liv. It was the Liv. Oh, OK. I thought you were talking like you and your buddies out. And so I'm going to say, oh, you spit on that thing. You shit on it, yeah. OK, yeah. We can't have that as a PGA, Liv. Yeah, no, Liv, Liv, that makes sense. Yeah. Like a-- Louder. Pete Flutter. Liv, October. Hey, do we have any-- Oh, sauce. So do we have anything to say about the video game ranking things? So like, the @mister? I have some. OK. I kind of have some notes on that. OK, so for those of you listening who don't know, College Football 25 is coming out, and EA released their top 25 toughest places to play is the way they put it. So it's not like a best atmosphere thing. It's literally-- that goes into it. Toughest road game is all it looks like, right? But it's literally toughest places to play. And the top place is Kyle Field, which is Texas A&M. And I think everybody who saw that has thoughts. So I'll just read some of the top schools, like Alabama's 2, LSU 3, Ohio State's 4, Georgia 5, then Penn State, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Florida State. And then Florida, I think a couple of these schools are generally bad, but their stadiums are still really good. Oregon's 11, and then Clemson. And then the list goes on or whatever. Not on the top 25 was Nebraska, which I think is a big oversight. I think we talked about it. Washington. Well, yes, yes. We can throw as much shade towards Washington as we want. And that place is going. It is husky stadium extremely loud. It'll lead. If you have been to a game at Husky Stadium where Oregon is involved, no matter how bad that team is, that stadium is locked in. And it is really loud, and it is a crazy atmosphere. That said-- But it's the criteria for next year, like this ain't coming year, the hardest place to play. Well, you're not taking into the teams at all, right? That's sort of the thing, right? Is that it? That's the argument against Texas A&M is like-- There's many arguments against Texas A&M. So again, again, it's like this is a atmosphere versus a tough place to play argument, because atmosphere of Texas A&M, absolutely. Like, yes, it's a fantastic college football atmosphere, one of the best in the country for sure. Maybe not the best, but one of the best. It's fucking easy to win there. Because their team is bad. And so it being the toughest place to play, at some point, you have to take into account wins and losses, right? They lost to Appalachian State at home two years ago. What are we talking about? Yeah. And you know what? For Oregon's credit, Oregon doesn't have an insane atmosphere anymore. It just doesn't. It depends on the game, I guess. But big games, it does. Big games, it does. But it's really hard to win there. Like, really, really difficult. Like, you don't go into Austin Stadium and win very often. And so, like, it being out of the top 10, I'm like, ah, I mean, come on, guys. Like, so again, are we saying tough place to play? Are we saying atmosphere? Yeah, see, I think they're going. I think they're going purely up. It looks like vibes, right? It does. It does. It does look like it. And again, I still-- I don't know if I would put Texas A&M one still. That's just-- No, not one. But they would be in the top 10 because they do the cultish stuff. But just as a little stat thing, from '92 to 2023, from 10 to 1 best record at home. Clemson, or LSU. LSU is only 10. And I'll just give you the record, and I won't do it. So this is top 10? Yeah, LSU at 10. OK. 169 and 48 from 1992 to 2003. 9 Clemson, 8th, Florida State, 7 Michigan, 6th Georgia, 5 Oregon, 166 and 37 at home since 1992. For Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma, Ohio State, at 192, 22 in 1 since 1992. 1, get here. By the way, by the way, Oregon is one of those, which is crazy to think about, right? And Oregon is 32 and 16 at home during that span. There what? For a, yeah. 32 and 16 at home versus ranked teams during that-- That's great teams. Right teams, OK. First ranked teams. OK, yeah. Makes sense? Based on what we've seen. Which is very good because some of the teams in the top 10 are barely over 500. Yeah, and then, you know, another thing on this list is, you know, Utah being 18. I think-- I don't think a lot of people realize how great of an atmosphere and tough of a place to play that Rice Eccles is. Elevation gets you there a little bit too. That's the-- Yeah. You see, if you pull it all into just tough places to play, yeah, elevation actually adds to it being tougher there. I mean, it's sort of-- it's sort of like everything about toughest places to play has to do with how good the team is, right? Yeah, exactly. I was just going to say, home field advantage is kind of a myth in a weird way because we've watched USC games for 20 plus years, right? The LA Coliseum was a scary place to play for about six years. When Pete Carroll-- like, when Pete Carroll had them humming, they didn't lose there. But you want to know what? It wasn't because the fans were going, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah. It's because they had nine NFL players on each side of the ball. That's why we have three Heisman's and like six years ago. Also, Heisman winner was handing off to a Heisman winner. That's why they never lost at home. Also, Stanford. When Stanford was humming and really, really good, you could not win at Stanford. And that's another group-- they have like 5,000 fans in their stadium even when they're good. And that's the counterpoint to like the animes packed full of the brim. And they got all the coordinated chance is like Stanford. And we're slightly less, but Northwestern. So I saw something where they're 11 a.m. local kicks. Their record is awesome because there's no one after October because there's no one there. And it's 37 degrees in windy. And so they win games somehow like 19 to 14 over Iowa. Why? I don't know. Just they just do. That's kind of a whole field advantage. Alabama just wins at home because they have the greatest coach ever. And 11 NFL players on each side of the ball. Well, maybe that's what Northwestern's going for with their new stadium design. They're going to make it so cold and miserable, they're going to try to get mother nature advantage. Really? I do think in fairness, I do think they're not playing any home games after like the middle of October and there. And they go to like a Wrigley field and stuff because-- notoriously warm and-- Yes, I know. Yes, Wrigley field. Watch a playoff game in October. Very amazing. I mean, god, just damn right near balmy out there. Yeah, but I was surprised-- Homer, I guess, whoop, whoop, you know. But I was surprised not to see Oregon in the top 10. No, they were 11. So they just-- they just missed out. Why? If only because we know how the media and how like EA used to view Oregon. Like they called it-- EA would call it the Otson Zoo. I don't think anyone else called it the Otson Zoo. Literally nobody. But that's what EA called it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so they also EA released a video today that was like a sight and sounds thing where they sort of showed you what happens in the game when the crowd is loud and how it affects things. And they even had like-- they had a shot. I forget what stadium it was, but it was-- you know how on-- in some stadiums on third downs, they'll play like music and the crowd will be loud. And so there was that song that was like-- [SINGING] Obama. Yeah, exactly. That was playing. [SINGING] That's when you roll-- That doesn't really work. That's fucking legit during a football season. Yeah, it's great. That clip is awesome. No, but it was-- it was playing during the game. Yeah. And they literally recreated that from a Michigan game like two years ago. They absolutely-- Or Michigan did not get the snap off. They were like, nope. They absolutely did. So that's-- Regrew. That's my question. I'm genuinely curious. Like, are they going to include all of those little things? Because, you know, like-- the famous ones are like, the beavers have the chainsaw. You know, there's like the ducks play the Joker and the Thief song on third down. Yeah, unfortunately. Those are the ones we know, but I'm sure they're like-- Throughout the country. Oh, there is it. So the issue would be, obviously, is they'd need to license the music. And so they were clearly able to get one of them. But I'm curious if they'll be able-- like, because they always seem to-- this was the case before the game went away, too. They always seem to get like really close to authentic, right? Like, they would almost get there. Because they-- did they have the rights to be fully authentic? That's what I'm curious about. It's like, are we going to watch Oregon play-- or are we going to play with Oregon on that game? And it's going to be like, yeah, they didn't really do the go ducks thing. Like, the crowd does go ducks before every game. They could have done that, you know. Is the motorcycle driving out before the game comes up? Like, yes, it is. Like, yeah, the-- Yeah, they had that. They kind of showed us sneak, yeah. Are they paying Kearney to do coming home? Or is there going to be something for shout, like, I don't know, you know? I don't know. I'm excited to find out. I am, too. What platform are you guys buying it on? Xbox, for sure. Yeah. Dear PS. Yeah. Well, I guess that fucking dooms the dynasty, the TSB dynasty. I don't know. Maybe we'll split them up. That is the dumbest thing they've done. It's not cross-platform. Because everything's like cross-platform now, too. So it's like, why not? Yeah. Really stupid. We'll finish off on the generation O fly where the drop today. Yeah, New Unis. So are those like the general style? Or is that like a one-off thing? I think it's more of a one-off that they'll wear for the next few years. It's the gist that I got. I like that. Like the egg splatter ones that they've worn for the last three years. I like them. They're like, I get it. Yeah, they're all blacks. Yeah. They're all blacks, and they're trying to-- Yeah, to describe them. They got the wings, like the old-school wings. And then around that is like a circle of the old diamond plate that they used to have. And so they have both of those on top of the uniform. Nike symbol on front, big 10 symbol on the other side of the front. And they're like these sort of clearish-- I don't know what the color is for the numbers, but-- It's the-- do you remember the Jordan brand jerseys in War against UCLA in '20? That's what those are. Yeah, OK. It's kind of a gold almost. It's more of a gold than-- But mostly black, the outline. But the jersey's mostly black. And what I was describing is like silver, so-- That big 10 logo was popping on it though. Yes, it does pop in silver. It does pop. It'd be like, hey, we, you know, new conference, let's get out there and act like we're happy to be here, kind of thing. Well, we'll promote it on our chance here. But is it-- No. Is it supposed to be Generation O, or is it supposed to be like Generation Zero? I know it's the Oregon O, but Generation Zero seems cooler. Are you watching? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, like what's going on here, Ski? She's just get on your USC podcast. Get out of here. Fight on, baby. Yeah. I like them. My thing with like the one-offs-- OK. My one complaint is I hate the diamond plating. I hated the diamond plating in real time, so this isn't like old man yelling at the clouds. I thought that shit sucked when I was 24. The diamond plating to me looks like Tom Gugliata and Pamela Anderson's barbed wire arm tattoo. Oops. The diamond plating to me looks like boner pills. You would-- gives up boner pills at a 7-Eleven vibe. Like, rhino blast. It's in my head, horny gee. I hate the diamond plating. I hate it. I had one exception. I think they didn't find one exception, which was the holiday bowl ones, because those were all black. Like they were all black, and then they had the diamond plating on the shoulder with like a dark green. I thought that was a good look, because they were all black. I mean, that's the point. Do you see the trend? They needed the diamond plating just to break it up from being just pure all black. And it's fine. Yeah. Personally, I don't care for their all black looks like that. I for the one-- I like the real side. The Donald Duck outfit is my favorite, like one off. Like if you're going to do a one off, have it be over the top out there. So good. So, so very good. Yeah. Yeah, so the old school go back ones. They can be special. What's next? Like, are we going to get like a full rundown of what the theme is going to be next? Well, I think this is kind of how I gather it. I could be completely wrong, because I'm an idiot. I thought that's what was happening with this. Well, I think they're doing like two or three special one off uniforms that are a nod to the last 25 years when they transitioned from the interlocking UO to the O, right? Generation O. And in that, there will be a new template that they are wearing mainly for the next three years, because that's what they do every three years they cycle through. So they were going to get two more special unis. I'm guessing they give us the Joey Herring. Like, I think we're going to get one more-- we're going to get another mishmash or something completely wild-- well, probably something wild. And then we'll get a true throwback. I bet you they do the Joey Herrington, two shades of green, a couple yellow stripes down, that whole thing, which-- I think it would look good if you kind of like bring them up to times, too. You know, I mean, like, you know, just how people wore jerseys back then. I just hope they never fucking try. I was scared on this one that was kind of rumored to be a mishmash that they would do the Kellen Clemens kind of era, where when you look on the sides, they just had weird bubbles. Whether they were wearing yellow, it was green, it was green, it was yellow, it was white, it was green. But the bubbles on the sides and the pants, they never matched up. They didn't line up and they were just fucking weird. I'm glad we were not doing that. When was the bumblebee outfits? I think that was first-- D. Anthony Thomas. Is that D. Anthony? And Darren Thomas, that Eric's-- I don't remember-- I'm trying to remember. I don't remember a Massoli yellow-top type moment. I don't. I think it was D. Anthony Darren. I could definitely see D. Anthony-- 2009-10 type run. No. And was that when they went to the straight O instead of the interlocking UO? Is that when they had your biggest pet peeve with the double foot duck instead of the single foot duck? No, that was like in 2005 they brought that thing in. Oh, that was-- And oh my god, for a school, a Brandon Nike that is so good at keeping singular themes and being kind of correct on stuff, that video where they show the two-legged duck in the beginning spiraling up to the 50, the two-legged duck was never on the 50-yard line. You want to know why? Because they tore up the turf and odds in with the duck at the 50, like, centimeters before we got a stupid two-legged duck. There's no two-- the two-legged duck sucks. Give me diabetes duck. One leg. I stand-- I'm not only standing on business. I stand on one leg with that take. One leg. We have dials how we-- It's stupid. It has two legs. What do you guys think about maybe going to one-off of-- would people accept an homage to robo-duck? Can we get a robo-duck one-off jersey? No, but they can sell us. If they come out with a robo-duck shirt or hat, I will buy it. I don't know. No, that shit was terrible, but it's-- No, no, I'm going the other way with this. I think people would really like it. If Oregon came up with a robo-duck jersey, I think people would buy the fuck out of that gear and love it. It's a one-off, like, it's not a theme. Yeah, dude. Like, look at robo-duck. Like, the fit's not bad on robo-duck. It's not bad. It's not terrible. We've seen worse jersey-- by the way, WCP mentions it. The Clements era kit was trash. It was. Trash. They were so bad. They were so bad. It wasn't even, like, an opinion thing, like me with the diamond plating. My opinion is bad. They're objectively bad. They were just bad. Yes, yes. And so I take robo-duck over the Clements era. And maybe even the Joey era, if I'm being honest. I think they could lean into it. Remember when Anaheim went to kind of the scary mallard duck for them when-- Listen, you missed it, bud. You missed it, pal. Anaheim-- are you talking about the ducks? The Anaheim Mighty Ducks. They just dropped the new a new set today. Did they? Their primary color? Guess what? Because they reside in Orange County. Orange? It's orange. So it's back to the Mighty Ducks. Yeah. A little scarier looking. A little later. I thought that was kind of-- that was their whole turn. They were like, all right, we're playing hockey. We're going to be tough for names. So they went to the scary duck. But the ducks rebrand off the Mighty Ducks thing where it was a duck webfoot where it kind of made it D if you looked closely at it. Yeah. Very bad. Very bad. You're entering Orange Country. It's-- There you go, man. You don't just walk into Newport Beach and think you don't just walk into the Honda Center. I think you're coming in to be on these ducks. They had the webfoot D on the shoulder there. They do. Oh, I watched the video. And we're preserving our best. Big fucking Netherlands football fans here with the orange. Well, I guess before we forget and get to our list. Well, hang on. So real quick, the new ducks identity is not just an evolution. It's a brand revolution. Faster, more exciting, and more aggressive, both on and off the ice. Oh, my god. Oh, no. Give it to me, dog. Give it to me. You're so aggressive. Look at my veins. Mighty ducks of Anaheim. Let's go dogs. Where is your sharks rebrand? Oh, you know what-- Did you see the new sharks? The new-- It's got-- oh, it's-- the fanatics jersey looks so good. One little stripes of the sweater. It looks like there's an ocean current on it. Oh, baby, it's so good. Sharks got to get meaner and tougher, too. They got neither of your rebrand. I actually wish I'd go back to the original shark. Not as scary. Not as in that. See, you've got to be scary. I mean, look at your hat. You've got to wail with dynamite. Scary. True. If there's one thing we know, it's that the Eugene Emeralds are branding geniuses. Except they never made an angry Sasquatch. Sasquatch is too happy for me. Is he happy? He's pretty-- he just, you know, lolly gagging around. I mean, Sluggo is. That's kind of slung this piece of shit. [GASPS] That might be the hottest thing we've ever had on this podcast. Mark it. Yeah, yeah. Edit data, fellas. Yeah. Cut it. Cut it. Cut it. Yeah. Before we get this, this guy is going to get us in trouble. This guy's going to-- Dude, dude, we got it. He's a loose wire. We got to get out of here. Loose cannon. We've been doing this forever. So we never talked about the Ducks' new court either, by the way. That's what I was going to go to. Before we do the list, Ducks' new court, real quick. What do you guys think? I really like it. I think people complaining about the border not being close enough. I think it'll look different when the seats are in. The dimensions will look a little different. I really like it. I like it. I think it needs lines. I think it needs some other color, like black, for instance. I really like it. Don't get me wrong. But I think the lines, the end lines, and the key should be lines. So are you saying that you really like it, the candidate-- the candidate's really good. But you just need a black-- are you asking for a DEI hire on the court? Is that what you're asking for on the design? A DEI hire. I think he is. Though they're illegal in Florida, you know. Oh. That one. I haven't even been mad about it. I think the mistake they made this time is that they used one color pretty much exclusively. I think last time, I think our complaint was it's like there's way too much going on. It just fucking looks weird and cluttered. And this time, they went the opposite direction. The green is good. I like the green. But I think it's too much. I thought you were anti-mixing the colors. You wanted that one pure color, right? Yeah. Why can't we just do a pure white court? Yeah. Gotcha. Gotcha. Got you. I think it'll grow on you. It's much better than the old court. I mean, it's nods to the old trees and they got the ducks flying in there. Is it out there in a little zany? Yeah, it is. But you know, that's kind of what they are. So that's how I'm playing with it. But we'll just got me, man. Black lines matter. God damn it. I thought you were a blue line matter, but all right. The one thing about the new court is, God damn it. I've mentioned before, I find the discourse on Oregon basketball really annoying, because Oregon football draws in so many people, which is a good thing to have. It's a good thing to have. It brings in so many people that people that don't really care, which is fine. I don't watch Oregon tennis. I don't watch Oregon golf unless they're playing in the tournament. Okay. You don't have to watch everything. But people that I know or I see their digital footprint who don't watch Oregon basketball and say they don't like Oregon basketball coming in with these enormous opinions on how everything is bad. It's so draining. It's like, you don't like the sport. You don't follow the team. That's fine. You don't have to, but don't, when they drop a new court design, tell me all the reasons why it sucks. You don't watch, you don't watch. It just, it bugs me. I don't like the whole Oregon basketball universe. Because unless Oregon is good, unless it's Dylan Brooks, Aaron Brooks, unless it's one of those things, the Luke's, people aren't really, the fringes aren't watching. Fine. Yeah, no, but they love sharing their opinion on the, on a fucking basketball court and acting like that's what's keeping them from going to watching games. So I guess, yeah, no, no, I'm, I'm very honest about it. Like it's, I don't, I don't want to go watch basketball games. That's fine. I don't like it. And it is fine. By the way, like everybody else, feel free to just say that it's, it's okay. You don't have to pay your money to go watch sporting events all the time. You don't have to. It's, it's okay. But if you want to, it's like five bucks. If you want to go watch. Yeah. See the tickets, 140 bucks to sit up in the upper tank. Yes. I will say the only thing I worry about, especially from like when it's going to be broadcast on a TV, if they ever wear green on that court, I don't know how it's going to play. That's my only thing with it. Very boy. Very boy. Very boy. Easy. Exactly. Yeah. I just don't know how it's going to play. I don't know if there's rules that they can't like, can that Eastern Washington, they not wear their reds when they're on their red field? I don't know. They have to be. Yeah. I think they can. Yeah. That's their home uniforms. Yeah. I just, I just know a bit for TV purposes. If it looks like I'll just wash out. I don't know. I think there, I think the only rule on that stuff, because it used to, it was a rule for a short time for like a year or two, right before I think the pandemic, I believe or Boise for a little bit, there was something they couldn't do like they had to even, they had to wear socks that were orange or something to offset blue, blue, blue, blue on a blue field. But like the one thing you can't do is if you're wearing, because this happened, I think a 2019 Oregon at Washington. Remember that where the Washington, like I think it was the opening kick of the second half. They did a little thing where one guy laid down in the end zone and then they threw it back to him, but it was illegal because of the uniform combo was too much with the purple end zone. Yeah. So there are some roles, but I think they've gotten rid of most. I think that's about the only one left. I do think like in the end, we should reserve judgment until we see it on TV. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. That way one worry could happen. I don't. I think it'll be fine. It's, it's, I'm sure that it's, it's better than the old one. It's the bottom line, yes, because my thing from the beginning was the, the, it just did depend on the bottom line. Because it was like, why are they orange? Why are they brown? Yeah, conifers skate green all year, they are not deciduous trees, famously, they're called ever greens, it's better, it's an improvement. So I'm good with it. Agreed. All right. Ski. You came up with a list this week. What is our list? I guess it's a, oh, in honor of the blazers in draft night tonight. Your top three people that the blazers should have drafted instead of clean.
