00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - All right, rundown, Thursday, August 31st,
00:06 joined by Lodge and the man Frank.
00:08 Frank, how about tip of the cap to the people?
00:10 There you go.
00:11 All right, first story.
00:13 Nebraska volleyball sets women's sports attendance
00:16 with a record of 92,003 fans.
00:18 I love how they get specific of the three.
00:20 Just do 92,000.
00:23 But yeah, those three people should get something.
00:25 They should get like a piece of the court, whatever.
00:28 But I have a guy that works with the women's,
00:32 USA women's volleyball team, Kurt Ward.
00:35 He's one of my editors on raw dogging episodes.
00:39 And he was telling me it's been a crazy week
00:41 trying to do things here.
00:43 It's like incredible how just the crowd here
00:45 and for all the women out there for the volleyball.
00:50 And volleyball, volleyball is a sport
00:52 that I think is underutilized.
00:53 It should be more popular in America,
00:54 but you don't see it on TV enough.
00:57 Yeah, my mom coached in high school,
00:59 won a couple championships.
01:00 But so Nebraska plays Omaha volleyball
01:03 in Lincoln Memorial Stadium, crowded 92,003 fans,
01:06 world record attendance for a women's sporting event.
01:08 Nebraska spread the match three nothing.
01:10 Obviously they were going to schedule a cupcake in this one.
01:13 But this was cool, the walkout, like the visual.
01:16 Did you, you've seen the video.
01:17 Saw it, yeah.
01:17 I was impressed too,
01:19 because this wasn't one of those manufactured
01:21 where they were just giving away tickets
01:23 at the local Piggly Wiggly.
01:24 Like people were paying,
01:25 I heard some of them in the secondary market,
01:27 people were paying like $400 to get into this thing.
01:29 So yeah, it's cool.
01:31 Yeah, the off the grid stuff with football,
01:32 like they play the, or anything,
01:34 they play sports in general.
01:35 They play the basketball game on the aircraft carrier
01:38 on Veterans Day, that's always cool.
01:40 Oh, I loved when they did that.
01:41 I know the Liberty have played an outdoor game at Arthur Ashe.
01:44 Like I'm trying to think of a different sport can really.
01:48 Of course, all the hockey.
01:50 The hockey outdoor, yeah.
01:52 In fact, at MetLife this year in February,
01:55 they're going to have back to back nights.
01:57 On one night, it's going to be Rangers, Islanders,
01:59 and next night it's going to be Devils versus Flyers.
02:01 That's pretty sweet.
02:03 When I was in college, they had to like,
02:05 like even for women's basketball,
02:07 they had to have like the men's football team come in
02:09 and do like a slam dunk contest at halftime.
02:12 And that'd be the only way they can get people to show up.
02:14 And then as soon as the slam dunk was over,
02:16 everyone would clear out.
02:17 But this, I mean, everyone seemed kind of invested.
02:19 I figured now if you're a women's volleyball team recruiter,
02:25 like how the fuck do you like recruit against that?
02:27 Against that, right.
02:29 Like this is the greatest thing ever
02:31 for a high school women's volleyball player.
02:34 Or somebody else looks at that and says,
02:36 all right, they did it.
02:37 We're going to do it.
02:38 And now it just elevates the sport, you know?
02:40 So, and you look at the final four.
02:42 Yeah, that's awesome.
02:43 It's nuts.
02:44 Oh no.
02:45 Do you think other schools could do this?
02:47 I mean, I'm assuming other schools will now, right?
02:51 Like I would assume like they could.
02:52 I know UNC's women's,
02:54 Katie should have been good to ask.
02:55 I know UNC's women's soccer team
02:57 was like the winningest of all time,
02:58 but they already play outdoors.
03:00 So that's where it gets hairy.
03:02 Like you need, it's gotta be an indoor sport.
03:03 But look at the final four this year, right?
03:05 The men's final four was the same week,
03:06 weekend as the women's.
03:09 With San Diego State and Florida Atlantic, you know,
03:12 and even Miami is a big basketball school,
03:15 or a big sports school,
03:16 but never really had major success in basketball.
03:19 That final four was kind of down.
03:21 The women's final four went berserk
03:22 in terms of Caitlin Clark, LSU,
03:24 like people were, and they were in close areas.
03:26 There were people at the men's who were like,
03:27 I can't wait there Sunday to go down to Dallas from Houston.
03:31 So women's sports, you know.
03:31 - It's pretty important to see this year,
03:32 is that you get the two Florida teams,
03:35 and South Florida is kind of, eh.
03:38 - Yeah, it's, you know,
03:39 but this was an electric environment without a doubt.
03:41 Like unbelievable.
03:42 - If there were 92,000 people there watching the game,
03:45 who was at home making all the sandwiches?
03:47 (laughing)
03:49 - Especially in Nebraska.
03:50 It was farming.
03:51 - What's the next one, John?
03:53 Mitch McConnell freezes up during press conference again,
03:56 for the second time,
03:57 Mitch McConnell completely freezes
03:58 during a press conference.
03:59 We might not have rights to the video,
04:01 but Mitch McConnell, if you've seen it, yo.
04:03 - Oh yeah, well.
04:04 - Give us a shout out.
04:05 But yeah, this is, it's kind of,
04:07 listen, without getting political,
04:08 like you do have people in office forever.
04:11 Like if you look at the guys, I don't know.
04:13 - He's making decisions, like what?
04:15 - This isn't, it's very, very,
04:19 it's one of the few topics
04:20 where you don't have to get political
04:21 to know that this guy shouldn't be buying green bananas,
04:23 much less have a fucking government post.
04:26 - I mean, it's both sides.
04:28 I mean, we got Mitch McConnell,
04:30 it's just like, it's like this.
04:31 And meanwhile, they're reeling in
04:34 Dianne Feinstein to every vote.
04:36 And she's like,
04:37 she can't even like raise her hand anymore.
04:39 She doesn't even,
04:41 I don't even know if she's physically conscious.
04:43 I mean, see you next time we have a debate
04:45 between Mitch McConnell and Dianne Feinstein, it'll be.
04:49 - But I mean, there's also the guy in the sweatshirt
04:50 down in Philly, right?
04:52 What the hell is the guy's name, the big dude?
04:55 - I don't know.
04:56 - I think he was. - Yeah, Senator Fetterman.
04:57 - Yeah, Senator Fetterman.
04:58 - Just, I don't understand this.
05:01 Like I won't vote, I'm the oldest guy here.
05:03 I will never vote for somebody above the age probably of 65.
05:07 - I mean, it's not.
05:08 - But those are the only guys running.
05:10 - It's not the, it's not the. - That's where it gets.
05:11 - No, it is the age thing.
05:12 I mean, this, oh, whether or not he goes early or short.
05:15 - But it's this, people's brains go differently.
05:17 People's how they age is differently.
05:20 I say this, that every politician over a certain age
05:23 or every politician, but in general,
05:26 should have to pass a neurological exam
05:27 if there's any doubt of their issues.
05:30 And if they can't pass a simple neurological exam,
05:33 this guy shouldn't be doing anything.
05:36 Someone, I actually saw someone say this.
05:37 It's elder abuse that he's actually still got this,
05:41 he's still doing this.
05:43 And you know, he's not running things.
05:46 He's got people, his aides are running people.
05:48 He's, the party, the Republican Party's running him
05:51 and the Democrat Party's running Feinstein,
05:53 they're both puppets.
05:54 They're not elected representing the people anymore.
05:57 They have behind the scenes bureaucrats
06:00 and puppet masters running things.
06:02 And that's why they let these old people go out there
06:04 and the party machine and the apparatus
06:07 are the ones running everything.
06:08 That's why everything's so fucked up in this country.
06:10 - Great.
06:11 - That's great, yeah.
06:12 (audience applauding)
06:13 - Makes sense. - Yeah.
06:14 - Makes sense.
06:14 - Storm the Capitol.
06:16 (laughing)
06:16 But imagine like a fireside chat with him and Biden.
06:19 Like you know how un-electric that would be?
06:21 - How about Diane Feinstein?
06:23 - Yeah.
06:24 - She's a mess too.
06:26 She's still active senator.
06:27 - You wonder what the benefit of them staying,
06:30 like is it a high paying salary?
06:32 Like it gives them a purpose,
06:34 like that they just over kind of stay there welcome, so.
06:37 - Why don't they want to retire?
06:38 - I don't know.
06:39 - I guess they feel if they retire, they die.
06:41 - It's the name, one.
06:42 Two, it's the figureheads, is people just vote for names.
06:47 They vote for this, they vote for that,
06:49 they vote for the party.
06:50 Basically it's blood for scripts when we vote anyway.
06:54 - Yeah.
06:55 - But it's ridiculous.
06:56 He is not capable of being a senator.
06:59 He's got aides pushing the button for him to make his votes.
07:04 - Yeah.
07:05 - Nice, Ferk.
07:07 - Makes sense, yeah.
07:07 I mean, you know, you can only do so much as you get older.
07:10 ESPN will broadcast ACC games in movie theaters.
07:13 ACC football fans will be able to watch telecasts
07:15 on their local teams, road games in local movie theaters.
07:19 ESPN and Theater Sports Network,
07:21 we have 75 games featuring ACC matchups,
07:24 New Year's Bowl, six games in the college football playoff,
07:27 and the national championship.
07:27 So the spin zone of this,
07:30 I think movie theaters, Big T wrote this too,
07:32 movie theaters are super fucking comfortable,
07:34 elite snacks, untouchable popcorn.
07:37 - Right.
07:38 - If you can get a bunch of your buddies there,
07:39 the only thing I would ask the caveat
07:43 is can you bring in kind of your own food?
07:45 So like, perfect segue, which we did.
07:48 Yeah, well, with the Six Foot Hero,
07:50 I wrote the homage to the Six Foot Hero.
07:51 - Yeah.
07:52 - You have a bunch of your buddies,
07:53 like it's more room than a couch.
07:55 - Yeah.
07:56 - You know, like even in the nicest living rooms,
07:58 I don't know, go to a theater, you got 10 of your buddies,
08:00 like especially if your team is in it, you're an alma mater.
08:03 I think this is kind of a decent spin.
08:05 I don't know if I would do it every year,
08:07 but I could definitely see,
08:08 I know they used to play boxing matches in movie theaters.
08:11 - That's how I got into boxing.
08:13 - Not Hunter Hearns, who was that?
08:15 - Hagler Hearns.
08:16 - Hagler Hearns, I think.
08:17 - Yeah, Sugar Ray Leonard, Hagler.
08:19 - Yeah, yeah, yeah, like that's a great spot to watch.
08:22 You recline, like think about it.
08:23 - They serve booze in there now too,
08:25 which is the one thing that was missing years ago,
08:27 but I used to go watch, and that's why I'm into boxing,
08:31 'cause we used to go pay five bucks
08:33 and on closed circuit watch the Four Kings.
08:36 - Yeah.
08:37 - And then Tar Heroin got us hooked,
08:38 and it was 'cause we were watching on movie theaters too.
08:41 I tell you what, Super Bowl Sunday,
08:42 I usually go to a movie theater every Super Bowl Sunday
08:46 and catch the first showing of some football-related movie.
08:51 It makes me wanna run through a fucking wall
08:52 before the Super Bowl starts at home,
08:54 you know, like to go see "We Are the Titans,"
08:56 'cause they play 'em in local AMCs and stuff.
08:58 So yeah, I'm a big movie theater guy.
09:00 I sneak a lot of snacks in illegally.
09:03 I'm actually one of those assholes
09:04 that takes home the soda cup.
09:07 I wash it out, I bring back the fucking soda cup.
09:10 So I sneak that in too.
09:11 I don't know why I do it,
09:11 'cause I don't break a lot of laws, but I do it with that.
09:14 So yeah, you gotta do that.
09:15 - Well, I'll tell you what, the one, I remember--
09:17 - The cheapest thing I did was--
09:18 - This is six or seven years ago.
09:19 I was working at a school and went on a trip
09:22 to the movie theater, right?
09:23 And I look and it says, "Number one, small popcorn,
09:26 "small soda, mediums, number two," right down the line.
09:29 - Right.
09:29 - So you're obviously getting the big one.
09:31 I'm like, "Large popcorn, large soda, number three."
09:35 So I said, "Hold on."
09:36 But, and you look at the prices individually.
09:38 I said, "It's the same price.
09:40 "What's the point of the combo?"
09:41 They go, "No, we just do the combo for our convenience."
09:44 Like, oh, that's a lot.
09:45 You're already banging me for like $14 for both of these.
09:48 - And then you sit there and watch 20 minutes of trailers.
09:50 - Yeah, exactly.
09:51 Well, you're halfway through it.
09:52 That's the thing is pace yourself
09:54 with the popcorn for the trailers.
09:55 But like the NCAA tournament, you know, like parties.
09:58 I also think to get people back into boxing and UFC,
10:01 rather than like on your own TV, you know,
10:04 like just pay a cover.
10:06 - What do you think about people being like fans
10:08 going at it?
10:09 Like if you're at an ACC game and all of a sudden
10:12 there's a bunch of Clemson jerk offs
10:13 who start to get a little bit loud.
10:15 You know what I'm saying?
10:16 - I think with this, you can like,
10:17 I think they would be, they would rib to an extent,
10:21 but it would be pretty civil.
10:23 Like it'd be a good environment.
10:25 - I think most of the people that are gonna do this
10:27 are be like, if like, if Clemson's playing in Tallahassee,
10:30 it will be, the theater will be in Clemson
10:34 and you'll have Clemson fans there.
10:35 - Yeah.
10:36 - Until this one poor bastard shows up
10:38 and I put a shoe shirt on, right?
10:39 And then, you know, and.
10:41 - As long as they don't beat them senseless.
10:42 - Yeah, yeah.
10:43 - That's good to know.
10:44 You want that environment of the ribbing.
10:45 That's all I'll never understand.
10:46 People at sporting events getting in fist fights.
10:48 Like you paid so much to get there.
10:50 - I guess though people have home theaters though now
10:52 that they, you know, build up to have that.
10:54 But I would definitely, I mean, I'd recommend it too.
10:57 Watching a sporting event on a fucking, you know,
11:00 movie screen is a totally different experience
11:02 if you've never done it.
11:04 - I don't know.
11:04 I mean, just think of even a Superbowl party, you know?
11:06 Like if you can get the good catering,
11:08 you're out of theater and everybody's got a seat.
11:10 You can even have like, then any house you go to,
11:14 like you ain't getting up.
11:15 Like you better off wearing a diaper because.
11:17 - Right.
11:17 - There's 35 people, 40 people.
11:19 And how many, even in the richest homes,
11:21 like you're seating for 10, 15.
11:23 So it's like always that balance.
11:25 You're walking around, you want to get.
11:27 - And you got to have your own theater, right?
11:28 Like I don't want to, if I'm going to have a Superbowl party
11:30 I don't want to share it with another 30 people
11:32 I don't fucking know.
11:33 - No, you should try to get,
11:34 well, that's the way you look at it.
11:35 - 60 people.
11:36 - They should just not run movies.
11:38 That if they got 10 parties,
11:40 there should be 10 different theaters.
11:41 - Right.
11:42 - You know, but they might have the fee of the TV.
11:43 Who the fuck knows?
11:44 But I think it's a good idea.
11:46 Man arrested for driving with massive bolt
11:49 riding shotgun in his car.
11:51 Nebraska police, wild day in Nebraska.
11:53 Nebraska police pull over with a Watsu bull
11:55 riding in the passenger seat.
11:56 The bull's name was Howdy Doody.
11:58 The officer issued the man a written warning
12:02 and asked him to take the animal back home
12:03 and leave the city.
12:04 So I think Riggs had the tweet.
12:06 The video is wild enough.
12:08 Have you seen the back of the car?
12:09 - No.
12:10 - They can get literal bullshit all the way down
12:13 the back of this car, which I don't,
12:15 I don't know what the guy's plan was of,
12:18 first off, how do you trust it to not kill you?
12:22 Crazy visual, but yeah, good luck getting
12:24 that snitch out of the car.
12:26 - Yeah, women's volleyball and fucking bull riding.
12:29 - I mean, I don't know even how they,
12:32 I don't even know how he got the bull into the car.
12:35 - Look at this, zoom in on that.
12:37 - There must have been tranquilizers all,
12:40 like all over the place.
12:42 - Yeah, this is a, and he should be,
12:44 yeah, he got off very easy.
12:45 - That's something, that shit right down the back of the car.
12:47 - I've had my license taken away for a lot less.
12:49 Yeah.
12:50 - Fucking nuts.
12:51 - I mean, could he, he couldn't rent a truck at least,
12:55 or a U-Haul and put it in a U-Haul?
12:57 - If you look, it looks like it's, I don't know, 50,
13:00 he's gotta move with traffic, but.
13:02 - Well, I drive 41 on the highway, so.
13:04 (laughing)
13:05 - I heard that, now, Frank.
13:07 Just wild, the shit on the car is like, fucking nuts.
13:11 How do you willingly, it's gotta stink for days.
13:14 - And it looks like it's a Ford Escort.
13:16 You know what I mean?
13:17 Like, you know, riding all on one side.
13:19 - Yeah, he's not even riding an SUV.
13:21 - It's a piece of shit car.
13:22 - He's driving like a, like a, like a, like a little sedan.
13:27 Like a.
13:28 - Fucking worst Uber ever.
13:29 - Well, look at the license plate.
13:30 - And it's an old police car, right?
13:31 Because he took out the PO.
13:33 - Yeah, look at the license too, boy and dog.
13:35 - Oh yeah.
13:36 - Not a, not a, not an elite car, for sure.
13:38 - Maybe it's Mitch McConnell, he thinks it's a dog.
13:41 - There we go, bring it on back.
13:42 (laughing)
13:43 - Oh, it's a nice one.
13:44 Oh, this guy, 19 year old crossing the Pacific Ocean.
13:48 19 year old sailor named Garrett went on a 2,
13:50 2,400 mile upwind journey from Honolulu
13:53 to French Polynesian.
13:54 I don't even know those connect.
13:56 Sorry to my social studies teachers.
13:59 At one point, he goes head on with a fishing boat
14:01 who doesn't respond to his radio calls
14:03 and he has to avoid a collision.
14:05 His experience is extreme water condition
14:07 with huge waves breaking over the boat
14:09 throughout the night.
14:11 He loses his phone mid trip.
14:13 His experience is sudden and intense squall
14:17 showing how unpredictable it is to cross the Pacific Ocean.
14:19 Yeah, I guess I give like credit to these people.
14:21 I say it all the time.
14:22 - Do you?
14:23 - A little bit, hear me out.
14:24 On a Saturday, right, what do you think is more healthy?
14:28 The guy who gets up, goes to the gym at six,
14:31 seven o'clock in the morning, gets a coffee,
14:33 goes for a walk, finds like an old chair
14:36 to sand down and paint, reads a book,
14:40 sits outside, like that guy's way,
14:42 doing way more productive stuff than me
14:46 going to get a bacon, egg and cheese
14:47 and locking myself in my basement
14:48 watching South Alabama, Tulane
14:50 and every other streaming device all day long
14:52 and getting upset and losing money responsibly.
14:55 But that guy did way more than me,
14:57 but that's his, like I'll never understand his hobbies,
15:00 he'll never understand mine.
15:01 So credit to these people who can go in a fucking,
15:03 wanna go in a boat for 2,400 miles
15:06 with their clothes on their back and be like,
15:07 "Yeah, I'm good."
15:09 I do still think they're weirdos to answer your question.
15:11 Yes, complete weirdos, but I kind of give them credit.
15:13 Like who the fuck gets in a boat?
15:14 He's got a little bit of an explorer spirit.
15:16 I mean, definitely he did treacherous waterways.
15:20 You can't lose the phone if you're by yourself though.
15:21 You just can't lose the phone.
15:23 Treacherous waterways.
15:24 Is anyone secretly rooting for him to die like I am?
15:27 'Cause when it comes down to it
15:29 and you're reaching these squalls where,
15:31 you know, these walls of water are coming over
15:33 and you're about to die, like, what did you die for?
15:36 You know, like I-
15:37 The clips, man, look at the TikTok, the clips.
15:39 But it's not even a great clip.
15:41 No, it's not.
15:42 You gotta be electric with it, yeah.
15:43 And I can get on chat GPT
15:46 and have them create a better video.
15:48 I mean, he's heading to, I think, Tahiti's
15:51 in French Polynesia, if I'm not mistaken.
15:53 Yeah.
15:54 Yeah, I mean, that's a good point.
15:55 If you're gonna put your life at risk,
15:56 like it better be worth the content.
15:57 You ever seen "Grizzly Man"?
16:00 Yes.
16:00 The documentary?
16:01 Holy shit, somebody show me that in college.
16:03 You've never seen it, Frank?
16:04 This guy goes out every year with the bears.
16:08 He gets dropped off and he lives with them
16:09 for like three months and he had names.
16:11 He's like, "Oh, look, this is Oreo.
16:12 This is Joey.
16:13 This is, like all weird names, Transformers,
16:16 whatever the fuck names you wanna say."
16:18 And he knows them and he studies them
16:20 and it's year after year after year.
16:22 And then he gets eaten.
16:23 Mold.
16:24 He gets eaten, dies, and it's recorded,
16:28 not visually recorded audio.
16:30 They don't play the audio, but like the other documentarian
16:34 who then makes it and finds the footage,
16:36 you have to watch him like listen
16:38 and just be like sick to his stomach as he pulls.
16:42 It's a wild documentary to think he was gonna be friends
16:47 with these bears and then not survive to live the story.
16:50 But I guess he did for a while,
16:51 but you can only push him so far.
16:54 I guess pulling up to French Polynesia,
16:55 that's a good point.
16:57 Like as opposed to going 2,400 miles.
16:59 Oh, that's a good point.
17:00 And everything is Bayonne, you know what I mean?
17:01 But I still-
17:03 Through the whole coastal wall of New Jersey, sure.
17:06 Where are you gonna end?
17:07 The historic Wildwood.
17:08 When the crocodile hunter died,
17:10 people had said that it was sad and it was sad,
17:11 but other people were like, it's tragedy.
17:13 And I said, it's the exact opposite.
17:14 I was kind of asking for it.
17:15 You know, I-
17:16 Same with this bear guy, yeah.
17:17 Yeah, and put his widows and orphans.
17:21 I know this kid's only 19,
17:22 so maybe give him some credit for that.
17:24 I own a 19 year old who watches football
17:26 and goes to college.
17:27 And I pay for every fucking minute of it.
17:29 But yeah, so I don't admire this kid
17:32 and I'm sort of-
17:33 He lived though, no?
17:34 No, no, he lived, yeah.
17:35 He's all good.
17:36 And people forget about it by tomorrow.
17:38 Right.
17:38 Right?
17:39 Yeah, he almost thought he was dying, weirdly.
17:41 Or at least getting some kind of like near death clip.
17:44 You know what I mean?
17:45 He's got Marlon or something.
17:46 Your arm's stuck in the wall.
17:48 Yeah.
17:48 127 hours, yeah, it's a good point.
17:49 And he's been the number one blog
17:51 on Barstool Sports all day, so.
17:52 Oh, he's there.
17:53 There you go.
17:54 Yeah, there he goes.
17:55 That's what he's got.
17:56 Tomorrow, but tomorrow he gets bumped.
17:58 After show-
18:00 We had layoffs today.
18:02 Yeah.
18:03 I don't even know what to talk about.
18:04 So it's a terrible day.
18:05 It's impossible to get layoffs right,
18:08 especially when you're doing such a big layoff
18:10 like we did today.
18:11 So, I mean, I know you don't want to talk about it too much,
18:13 so I'll talk about it.
18:14 Oh, yeah, it's a tough day.
18:15 I've been through it a bunch of times.
18:16 And I remember once, you know,
18:18 just from a perspective of a guy who's worked around
18:20 like we have, I had gotten a call.
18:22 I was with my family in the Bahamas,
18:24 and my manager had called me to tell me
18:26 that I was laid off.
18:27 And he had said, and I was like,
18:28 what a scumbag thing to do.
18:30 Like, you know, I'd be back in a couple of days.
18:32 And he said, the only reason he was calling me
18:33 is because there's a list out.
18:35 And he knew that someone else was gonna tell me.
18:38 And as soon as I hung up the phone with him,
18:40 I got like three sneaky texts.
18:42 Listen, I saw you on the list.
18:43 So I think it is, you know, in retrospect,
18:45 the right thing to do.
18:46 So there's no right or wrong in those periods.
18:48 And it's terrible.
18:49 It's, it's, it's--
18:50 Like, pin drop.
18:51 People are afraid to laugh today about it.
18:53 It's a dark day.
18:54 It's a dark day.
18:55 And, you know, it's,
18:59 with the changes going on here,
19:00 the loss of the Penn Deal,
19:03 the, I mean, we're going back to our roots.
19:05 We're going back to what we did.
19:07 We're going back to like the simple videos.
19:09 And a lot of people I've seen let go
19:11 are some of the people who are the most talented editors
19:14 and did all the cinematic stuff.
19:16 And they're, we're going back to being simple barstool.
19:21 And sad to say those people are the people
19:25 who are gonna go first.
19:26 - Yeah, definitely appreciate it too.
19:28 I mean, we look good on camera.
19:30 There's people behind it who make all that go
19:32 and do late nights and hours and stuff.
19:33 So obviously appreciate everything they've done.
19:36 And yeah, it sucks.
19:38 And you said there's no way to get it right.
19:39 It sucks.
19:40 - Yeah, like it breaks Dave's heart.
19:42 - 100%.
19:42 - And Eric's heart, you know.
19:43 Shout out Coleman, right?
19:44 Our guy from the thing.
19:46 So he did a lot for me too.
19:47 - Michelangelo.
19:48 - Michelangelo, yeah.
19:49 I mean, we're talking about these people like we're at,
19:52 you know, like they were the 19 year old kid getting,
19:54 you know, fucking lost in the middle of the ocean.
19:56 But still it's not an easy day.
19:57 I will tell you that people tell,
19:59 told me every time I'd gotten laid off
20:02 that something good comes out of it.
20:04 And my last layoff was five years ago.
20:07 And that's why I've started here.
20:09 And I've never been happier in my life.
20:10 I've never been less healthy,
20:11 but I've never been happier in my life.
20:13 So perhaps it is one of those things
20:14 where another door will open
20:15 and these guys will all be fucking wildly successful.
20:18 - Nikki the good too.
20:19 Nikki the good too.
20:20 - Yeah, yeah.
20:21 Nikki Bono.
20:22 - Yeah, I was out of work.
20:24 I reconnected with, or connected with
20:26 who ended up being my wife.
20:27 So like, yeah, you don't know.
20:28 Anything can, yeah.
20:29 - You got laid.
20:30 Look at you, you son of a bitch.
20:31 - There you go, yeah.
20:31 Congrats, congrats.
20:32 NASCAR playoffs.
20:35 - Yeah, so regular season is over.
20:36 Spider and I rubbing in this race in NASCAR,
20:39 rolled out the red carpet again.
20:40 We had a bunch of people down to races.
20:42 I know I have to get you guys to races, right?
20:44 - Yes.
20:44 - You know in a heartbeat,
20:45 Frank I know you would do a race in a heartbeat.
20:46 - Yeah, sure.
20:47 - We've watched races here.
20:48 So the regular season's over.
20:50 Top 16 drivers go on.
20:53 Now there's 10 races in the playoffs.
20:56 After three, they eliminate four.
20:57 After three, they eliminate four.
20:59 After three, they get down to the final four,
21:01 which race in Phoenix.
21:02 All those races will have full fields.
21:03 It's not like there's only gonna be
21:04 four cars on the course.
21:06 So for the first year in a long time.
21:07 - I thought that was interesting.
21:08 - No, that would be kind of wild, right?
21:09 If there's only four. - It would, yeah.
21:10 - But no, they'll have a full round of 38
21:13 or a full field of 38, but only 16 will count.
21:17 - Got it.
21:18 - And then all the way down.
21:19 Chase Elliott didn't make the playoffs
21:21 for the first time in a while.
21:23 That was the big upset.
21:24 But he didn't really deserve it, right Frank?
21:25 - No, he was snowboarding, got injured, got suspended.
21:30 I mean, you lose those weeks, you fall out of the chase.
21:35 - Yeah, yeah.
21:36 But I mean, it's bad for NASCAR.
21:38 She's the most popular driver.
21:39 So right now, Martin Shreks Jr. and William Byron
21:42 are at the top of the leaderboard
21:44 going into this first weekend.
21:46 - A lot of recognizable names, too.
21:47 - Oh yeah, yeah.
21:48 So you'll have-- - Dwayne Brown didn't make it?
21:49 - Denny Hamlin. - Oh no, there he is.
21:50 - Legano.
21:51 - Yeah, Denny Hamlin's searching for his first championship.
21:54 So it all starts this weekend at Darlington.
21:57 The track too tough to tame,
21:59 where you get your Darlington stripe
22:00 from hitting the wall and stuff.
22:02 And there's a bunch of great tracks going on.
22:03 So yeah, we got a lot more to do
22:05 with Rubbin' His Race and Me and Spider.
22:07 - Darlington, you probably said it,
22:09 but Darlington County is in a--
22:11 - South Carolina? - Bruce.
22:12 Okay. - Yeah.
22:13 - I was trying to connect it.
22:14 - Oh yeah, yeah.
22:15 - Bruce has Darlington County, right, in the song?
22:18 - I don't know.
22:18 Oh, he's in town, right?
22:19 - He is. - Con's going there.
22:21 Yeah, this weekend.
22:22 - Yeah.
22:23 - Yesterday, yeah, going through Secaucus on the way home
22:25 was crazy with all the people going to the concerts.
22:27 - Oh, Bruce people, yeah.
22:29 We're gonna be fucked for a while.
22:32 - You look to me, I don't know.
22:33 Rough and Rowdy, what do you got on Rough and Rowdy?
22:36 - We're the Rough and Rowdy weigh-in team, right?
22:39 - Yeah, we're the weigh-in,
22:39 we do Rough and Rowdy weigh-in team.
22:40 We do it every year.
22:43 Of course, I'm looking to get a nice little stable
22:45 getting going and I'm hearing--
22:48 - Whoa, whoa, what are you getting a stable going?
22:49 What does that mean?
22:50 - I'm getting a stable together.
22:51 - Of fighters? - Yes.
22:53 - I would like Frank Promotion, what's it gonna be called?
22:56 - I haven't come up with a full name yet, but I'm--
22:58 - I think Tank Promotions is pretty good.
23:00 But then you gotta worry that people say,
23:01 "Oh, we tanked the fight."
23:02 - Yeah. - You gotta--
23:03 - They're having fun there.
23:04 - I have a couple of-- - FF, FF Incorporated.
23:07 What about FF Incorporated?
23:08 - I include in my stable,
23:10 the baddest motherfucking dwarf, Ruffizi.
23:13 - Oh yeah, he was fucking great.
23:15 - That fight was good.
23:16 - Oh, by the way, me and Frank
23:17 also do the bikini contest every time.
23:19 - Yes, we do.
23:20 - It always gets a little bit weird.
23:21 - I'm hearing-- - This is the scoop.
23:24 - That the Rough and Rowdy is gonna be December 1st
23:27 in Wilmington, Delaware.
23:30 So-- - That's not official.
23:31 (laughing)
23:32 - Yeah, I just brought a break news.
23:34 (laughing)
23:35 - Frankie's scoop. - So that's unofficial.
23:37 - Unofficial, Frankie's scoop.
23:37 - I'm gonna tell you,
23:38 we were trying to do Providence again,
23:40 but I don't think we were able to get Providence
23:41 because it was booked up.
23:44 - The reason why we can't,
23:45 the reason why we're having trouble with Providence
23:46 is I'm in Indy.
23:48 - The president walks by as you're breaking something.
23:51 Eh, this might not happen.
23:52 - You gotta take a shot, yeah.
23:54 - Right, according to Frank. - We need to start
23:55 promoting things-- - May or may not.
23:56 - Yeah, yeah. - May or may not.
23:57 So if you're in Wilmington, Delaware--
23:58 - And make people excited.
23:59 - Yeah, Wilmington, Delaware.
24:01 - It's gonna be a long line of angry people
24:03 potentially there.
24:04 But I want Frank's guys against Jerry's guys
24:07 in like the best of-- - No, no, I have guys now.
24:08 - You got guys too? - I have guys now.
24:09 - All right. - Three a day.
24:11 - So it's gonna be three big stables now going at it.
24:13 - It'll be top rank, match room, and PBC, right?
24:17 Going at it.
24:19 - Yeah. - Tune in.
24:20 Maybe in Delaware.
24:21 - I don't know where that is.
24:22 (laughing)
24:24 - Just reporting the news, so that's it.
24:26 That's the rundown.
24:27 (whooshing)
