00:00What's the question of the day, fellas?
00:01What is a well-held belief, sports, or otherwise, I guess, that you simply do not subscribe to because scientists
00:08just debunked a big sports myth?
00:10What is it? Okay, so tell me about that first. What is this coming from?
00:13So, just in February, we had a scientific study published, and of course, I'm the sicko that went and found
00:20it, that has debunked the no lovemaking before sports myth.
00:24Oh, women weak in legs, Rock.
00:27Rock. Yes. Yeah, that was old Mickey, the manager for Rocky. That's where I first learned that as a kid.
00:32Yeah. You know, when I saw Rocky at age six, don't have any sex before the fight.
00:35I feel like that's been debunked a bunch of times.
00:38But now by science.
00:40No, I think by science even before. I feel like every few years I read an article about this, and
00:45the propaganda keeps being pumped out by athletes' wives.
00:49I feel, I feel.
00:51Ted Johnson, Ted Johnson used to brag about how much he would smash the day before a game.
00:56I remember, you know, I remember this well back, you know, as a kid in high school and all that
01:01other stuff.
01:02And I feel like no one's ever adhered to it.
01:04Like, I feel it's one of those that, like, sure.
01:06Yeah.
01:06And everybody just kind of like, okay, yeah, sure.
01:08I guess so.
01:09Yeah.
01:09Yeah.
01:10Okay, so that's interesting.
01:11Something that has been widely viewed as factual.
01:16That you're like, I just don't, I don't rock with that one.
01:17It could be sports.
01:18You know, like, even though science has debunked it, that you're saying.
01:21Well, you can go that way as well.
01:23Oh, we're saying there's something that people widely believe.
01:25The easy one for me is, I think you guys know.
01:27What's that?
01:27Momentum.
01:28Oh, yeah.
01:29You're not a big momentum guy.
01:30Yeah, you're not a believer.
01:32I think it's hokum.
01:33Yep.
01:33Pity that, man.
01:34You're not a believer in momentum.
01:35Nope.
01:36At least not in the concept of sports.
01:37Seth, clearly it's a scientific.
01:38I'm totally a non-believer in the importance of head coaches in the NBA.
01:44And sometimes it's because they let the cameras into the huddle.
01:48Yeah.
01:48And those huddles never do the coaches any justice because they never put
01:51anything strategic on there.
01:53Right, right.
01:53It's just them going, come on, guys.
01:55We're going to, hey, we're going to need some effort over here.
01:57We got to be a little more aggressive.
01:58I'm like, I can do that.
01:59Or there's even those instances where, like, I'll take you back to when,
02:03what was it?
02:03Was it Luke Walton was filling in as the coach of the Golden State Warriors?
02:07Went 39 and four.
02:08Yeah.
02:08Right?
02:08They went 39 and four.
02:09But I still go back to, like, times where they have Draymond Green in the
02:12huddle actually coaching.
02:14Yeah.
02:14And he's just standing there watching.
02:16Yeah.
02:17To be fair, they do a lot of X's and O's, but they never show that.
02:21You know, for whatever.
02:22For obvious reasons.
02:24That helps you sleep at night.
02:25They're useless.
02:26Lopez must have been the guy that was sitting behind the bench as his kids
02:30draw up the plays.
02:31I do.
02:33What were you going to say, John?
02:34Oh, you're younger than me, obviously.
02:36But I'm wondering if you remember this.
02:38Because when I was playing football way back in the day, and, of course,
02:40I didn't play at the level that you did.
02:42But nevertheless.
02:43Really?
02:43They used to tell us no lifting weights during the season.
02:47Oh, yeah.
02:48We would only lift weights on the Monday after a game or the Saturday after a
02:51game, in my case.
02:53And I remember by the end of the year, I was like, man, I need to lift weights.
02:56Yeah.
02:56If you feel weak.
02:58Yeah.
02:58No, 100%.
02:59You know, I mean, that used to be common.
03:02And you start to wonder, like, why did I even lift weights in the offseason?
03:04Right.
03:05So, you do remember that.
03:06Yeah, well, I 100% remember that.
03:08But even in the NFL, like, that's something that guys can tell lies to
03:11themselves.
03:11And I had a strength coach early in my career that would only allow us to go
03:15up to a certain weight on squats during the season.
03:19And one year, I was just like, screw this.
03:21I was like you, John.
03:22I was like, I don't feel strong enough.
03:23That's my strength as a player was like, why am I using, was my legs.
03:28Why am I not using the same weights I used in the offseason?
03:32So, I just surreptitiously started doing heavy leg workouts, like really heavy
03:36leg workouts.
03:37And I took off.
03:38Like, I just started, my play improved immediately.
03:42So, then when I got to Houston, Dan Riley was a guy that was like very, very, like
03:47hardcore about still lifting heavy with your legs during the season.
03:52And I loved it.
03:53It was, it was huge.
03:54So, that's something that people, they delude themselves into thinking that, no,
03:58I got to keep my legs fresh and everything.
04:00Yeah.
04:00When, in fact, okay, yeah, your legs are going to be tired during the week of
04:03practice, but it serves you well if your legs are just way stronger than
04:07everybody by the end of the season.
04:08I used to hate that.
04:08I used to hate that.
04:08Yeah.
04:09I was just a kid, so I did what they said.
04:10But I was like, man, I'm losing strength here.
04:13My biggest thing is like, it's one of these things that science doesn't even need to
04:16disprove it because it's been known for hundreds and hundreds of years.
04:20But at, like, people's belief in lucky streaks and everything when it comes to
04:25gambling, I just, I'm just, like, always astounded that there's people that
04:29really, like, the way you guys act in casinos, Sean.
04:33I knew this was somehow directed at me.
04:35No, not you, just gamblers.
04:36You degenerate?
04:37Yeah.
04:38No, gamblers in general, they just, they believe in luck as this possible thing.
04:43Well, the big, the big thing, you're, you're a hundred percent right.
04:47The big thing is that, that, that I subscribe to as a blackjack player, because I'm part
04:53of the, you know, like I'm, I like being part of the whole blackjack ethos at the table
04:58is the notion that someone, that guy at third base just took the dealer's bust card, which
05:04can be factually true, but it's the, like, the odds, there's not a, there's not a percentage
05:10attached.
05:11It's, it's the same percentage of a good card coming out, but there's just as many times
05:15that what people would, would classify as a bad blackjack player, because they don't
05:19adhere to the unwritten rules of blackjack, that there's just as many times that those
05:24people, people do things that you would say would mess up the table.
05:28And then we all end up winning because it's the same odds of each card coming out of the
05:31shoe, of course, um, I don't believe that you're not allowed to eat ice cream after
05:35it's melted.
05:37Did you do it?
05:38No, I didn't do it.
05:39I poured it out because you guys all shamed me, which is what I asked for.
05:43There's some in the freezer, I think.
05:44Oh, I've already found some and stolen.
05:45Okay.
05:46Yeah.
05:46Yeah.
05:46Good.
05:46Yeah.
05:47That's what it's there for.
05:48I've made amends.
05:48A couple real quick on the base power text line.
05:51Um, I like this one cause it begins with, I seen Seth, not I've seen, I seen, I seen
05:57Seth at the airport reading.
05:59Why does Richard Smith suck memoirs?
06:01So sipping a latte was on a flight with Seth where he was all the way in the back, but
06:07somehow was the first one.
06:14Imagine we're still taxiing and I'm walking up.
06:18Don't listen every day.
06:20We've, we've all, I think the four of us outlined how much we hate that person.
06:23Um, I could see Seth taking exit row responsibilities very seriously and demanding all of his roommates.
06:30Absolutely.
06:31Pipe down and listen.
06:33Verbal.
06:34Yes.
06:34You're supposed to give a verbal.
06:36Yes.
06:36Not nodding your head.
06:38Oh, yes.
06:39Oh my God.
06:40These are great.
06:41Running drills is in the air.
06:43All right.
06:44So what do we do in the occasion?
06:46Seth walking up to the front of the plane.
06:49You know, you know, the biggest thing about the exit row is that I feel like some people
06:52don't realize I shouldn't even be advertising this.
06:54Like I think, I think there every now and then when people give the, um, when the flight
06:59attendants giving the spiel at the beginning, you can see people that have never sat in the
07:02exit row and they're like seriously taking it all in and everything.
07:07And I think what people don't realize is that you're, there is no responsibility.
07:11Your only responsibility is getting the door open.
07:13Yeah.
07:14And then your other responsibility is to be the first one off.
07:17That's right.
07:18I'm like, I'm exactly right.
07:20People like, yeah, I'll take responsibility.
07:24I'll grab everybody's left elbow.
07:26You grab the right elbow.
07:28You stay on hand for CPR in case we need it.
07:30It's the old Mitch Hedberg joke.
07:32I'm supposed to help people when they get to the bottom of the slide until I've got
07:35a good feeling that the plane's going to blow.
07:37Right.
07:38And then I'm gone.
07:39And then I'm out.
07:40It's the old Mitch Hedberg joke that like, you can't be a fire hazard if I can move, right?
07:45If there's something, if it becomes a fire hazard, like I then move and I leave.
07:49I just get out of the building.
07:51That's hilarious.
