00:00Brennan Soresby got himself involved in gambling when he was part of the Indiana football program.
00:04He is seeking out help now for a gambling addiction.
00:07The NCAA said he cannot play because that is their rule.
00:10Brennan Soresby is suing the NCAA, and currently,
00:13Brennan Soresby is eligible to play for Texas Tech this fall
00:18after a judge gave him the injunction while he awaits his trial.
00:21And everyone's thrilled about it.
00:23Yeah, the fatigue is getting real with this kid.
00:27And I love, it's everyone's rule.
00:32I love people, and not you, but there are people that have kind of made the NCAA bad guys.
00:36Every time, every turn, the NCAA is a bad guy.
00:40Typically, they have been in a lot of different cases.
00:43I don't disagree.
00:44But this is one where it's like, I got their back, dog.
00:47Like, I'm with them.
00:50And just, I don't know, everything about this,
00:53it just gets sleazier and sleazier the more this story goes down the road
00:58because you got a kid that gets caught doing something wrong.
01:01Right.
01:02Then he gets help because he plays the mental health card.
01:07And then he uses the mental health card even further down the road to say,
01:11but if you don't let me play, that'll hurt my mental health even worse.
01:16And it's like, what?
01:18The amount of galaxy brain mental gymnastics that are going on around some of this stuff
01:24is breathtaking.
01:25And I say this as somebody who is absolutely exhausted from arguing with people
01:31about Pete Rose for years and years and years.
01:33And I'll say this.
01:33I did not feel sorry for Pete Rose because what happened to him was the consequences
01:38of his own actions.
01:39And I don't understand where this kid has gotten into a place where it's like,
01:43well, you know, it was wrong.
01:46Has he even said it's wrong?
01:47I don't know.
01:48But if it was wrong, it was because there's something wrong with me
01:50and I'm going to go get that fixed.
01:51And in the meantime, none of the things that would apply to virtually anybody else
01:55in any other walk of life or sports should apply to me at this time
01:59because I'm good at playing football and should still be able to do that
02:04even though I did something that was patently against pretty much any ethical
02:09and moral rule for actual players of a sport.
02:12And his first excuse was, well, I wanted to feel connected because I wasn't playing.
02:17Then it was an addiction.
02:19Get a fantasy team.
02:19And, you know, probably the thing that hasn't been mentioned enough,
02:27maybe I haven't talked about it or thought about it,
02:29is he's not just a guy on a team.
02:32He's not a wide receiver running routes.
02:34No.
02:35He's like the most important position in the sport.
02:39Every time he's on the field, the ball is in his hands.
02:42Right.
02:43Other than the random-ass trick play once every five games.
02:47But that aside.
02:48Every play.
02:48He controls everything.
02:50Yeah.
02:50And to your point, this is if you can impact the game,
02:55you should not be betting on the game.
02:57Whether or not you bet on yourself to win or not is irrelevant.
03:01Yes.
03:01It brings your character and decision-making into question,
03:04and thereby it puts your entire team in a terrible place.
03:09It puts your sport in a terrible place.
03:11And, again, to just go back to this, because it's really worth pointing out,
03:15you know, since we're doing movie quotes about you either die a hero
03:18or live long enough to become the villain,
03:20the NCAA has kind of been the opposite of that.
03:22They've just been the villain for so long,
03:23but somehow now they've managed to live long enough to become a hero
03:27if they're trying to do the right thing.
03:29Yeah.
03:29Now they're being told, hey, not so fast, guys.
03:31And they're on live support, by the way.
03:33That's Batman Dark Knight.
03:34Okay.
03:35Do you want to go ahead and give me a point?
03:37Harvey Dent.
03:37Doesn't count quite yet.
03:39To give you the update on what's happening now with all this,
03:42everyone except for everyone that's on Brendan Sorsby's side
03:45is upset about this injunction,
03:46and the Big 12 has been trying to figure out what they can do,
03:49talking about potentially not playing Texas Tech,
03:52and Brendan Sorsby's attorney is warning the Big 12 not to do anything
03:55because it could trigger additional legal action,
03:58and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton backing this up,
04:01sent a letter to the Big 12 threatening legal action
04:04as if they attempt anything.
04:07Yeah.
04:07The lawyer thing is okay.
04:11I mean, you kind of figure that right.
04:12The Attorney General of the state, who is also, by the way,
04:17now running for Congress to come out and do this,
04:22man, really, it's June of an election year,
04:25and you just suddenly going to jump in here
04:27and make an asinine statement in my mind
04:31about how you're going to do all this stuff.
04:35First off, you might not even be in office at that position
04:39when it comes up that has a chance to happen.
04:41But secondly, you're only doing this because you're trying to win that region.
04:45And I don't know where he, I don't know where his,
04:47because it's, you know, obviously Congress is just split up.
04:50I don't know where his section is or whatever.
04:52But this is a political move in my eyes.
04:55It's always a political football.
04:57Yeah.
04:57Oh, wow.
04:59You're so witty.
05:00You're so good with phrases and words.
05:02But this is just, this is just exactly what it is.
05:05It's, and the, I think the leaders of Texas Tech yesterday
05:10put out, like, a 22-minute video talking about this,
05:14you're doing too much.
05:16Like, if you thought, if you thought that you were right in any way
05:21in this situation, you wouldn't have held,
05:24you wouldn't have had all these statements,
05:25you wouldn't have had a 22-minute video of a roundtable session
05:29talking about it.
05:30And I think Grant made a good point a few minutes ago.
05:34This isn't, like, this is, like, this goes again.
05:38There's nowhere you'd be able to play.
05:40Nowhere.
05:41And it's, like, you think you're special.
05:44This almost is getting on levels of narcissism.
05:46Well, it's entitlement for sure.
05:49And all of this.
05:51And I was looking at the lawyer, which, of course,
05:53is to be expected.
05:54Yeah.
05:54And everything that came out of that.
05:57It's just wild to me asking, like,
05:59what message does it send to student athletes
06:02if court orders are going to be, you know, disregarded?
06:04Like, let me tell you something.
06:06If your career is dependent on a court order,
06:10you've probably stepped into something you shouldn't be in,
06:12if that is the case, when it comes to gambling.
06:15I mean, like, I just...
06:17We went, remember in, like, the 90s
06:19where it felt like everybody was suing everybody?
06:21Yeah.
06:21Yeah, that hasn't changed.
06:22It's actually, no, I think it's going a step further now.
06:26It's like, oh, you bought this property?
06:30I'm going to get an injunction.
06:32You want to build a house here?
06:33I'm going to get an injunction.
06:34You want to start a competing business?
06:37I'm going to get an injunction.
06:38Yeah, it's like, that's where we're at.
06:40I mean, and it, look, it starts,
06:43politics started, and it's all trickling down.
06:46But it's like, any time someone says,
06:47if Mike Conte tells me something today
06:49that he had to do something,
06:51you know what I'm going to do?
06:53I'm going to file an injunction.
06:54Oh, there you go.
06:55I mean, you know what?
06:55I'm going to go to the state court,
06:58and I'm filing an injunction against my boss
07:00because he said I had to do this.
07:01I don't want to do that.
07:02But, like, where are we at in life?
07:04I know.
07:04And I wonder about his teammates.
07:07You know, that locker room is going to be
07:09a very interesting place.
07:10I know we've got some time until the season
07:13truly gets going,
07:14but how are they feeling about all of this?
07:17Like, outwardly, they have to support him, right?
07:20But inwardly, I would love to hear the monologue
07:24of what's happening.
07:25I think it's a phenomenal point.
07:27I know we've got to get to trivia.
07:28I'll just say this about it.
07:29And he single-handedly has turned you
07:32into a feel-good story about a team
07:35that has started to take advantage
07:36of the new rules with NIL.
07:38And now you're going to start making headway.
07:40You made the college football playoff last year
07:41ahead of a lot of blue bloods
07:42that haven't made it yet.
07:44And all that into the most hated team
07:48in the country.
07:48And everyone now is going to hate your team.
07:51And that is single-handedly
07:53because of Brendan Sorsby.
07:55Yeah, absolutely a mess.
07:57Guys, there's been an update every single day this week,
07:59so I'm sure on Monday we'll have another update
08:01for you on Brendan Sorsby.
08:03But right now, we've got to get to Mic'd Up.
08:06It's time to rant.
08:07Excuse me?
08:08It's time to rage.
08:09It's time for Mic'd Up.
08:11On the morning shift.
08:14Yes, it is Mic'd Up,
08:15but I'm taking over for him today
08:17as he is on vacation.
08:19So, I'm doing dude movie quote trivia
08:23with you two.
08:25And we're doing a different format today.
08:27We're going to go back and forth.
08:28I'm going to give you a movie quote,
08:29and you have a chance at three points on these.
08:31You have to give me the movie,
08:33the character, and the year.
08:35For each little factoid,
08:37you can give me about the movie quote.
08:39You get a point.
08:40Make sense to everyone?
08:41Makes sense.
08:42Yeah.
08:42You have one for the sweep today.
08:43Aye, aye, Captain.
08:45All right.
08:45Let's start with Bo.
08:48Say hello to my little friend.
08:50That is Scarface.
08:51Ding.
08:52And it was literally Scarface,
08:55the character that said that.
08:58And that movie came out in,
08:59I want to say, 1973.
09:02You're way off.
09:03What is his government name?
09:04Oh, it was 81.
09:05What's his government name?
09:09Oh, wait.
09:09I know this.
09:12I don't know.
09:13I know it, but I don't.
09:14It's one of those names
09:15where it started on the tip of my tongue,
09:16but I can't say it
09:17because you asked me.
09:19I don't know.
09:20I'll pass.
09:21Grant, would you like to steal?
09:22No.
09:23Okay.
09:24Tony Montana.
09:25Yes.
09:25Why can't I think of Tony Montana?
09:27Usually a rapper named after him.
09:29Tony Montana.
09:301983.
09:32Ten years off there.
09:33I had the three, right?
09:34You got a point, though.
09:35You got a point.
09:36On the board.
09:37Not getting shut out.
09:38There you go.
09:39No, no hitter.
09:40All right, Grant.
09:41You know my name,
09:42but who are you?
09:43Just another American
09:43who saw too many movies as a child?
09:45Another orphan of a bankrupt culture
09:47who thinks he's John Wayne?
09:48Rambo?
09:49It's Hans Gruber.
09:49Marshall Dillon?
09:50Hans Gruber.
09:51That's Die Hard,
09:53and that's 1989.
09:55No.
09:56Do you want to steal the year, Bo?
09:58I do.
09:58I believe it's 1988.
10:00That is 1988.
10:02All right, you guys are tied.
10:03Two and two.
10:05Goes back to you, Bo.
10:07I guess it comes down
10:08to a simple choice, really.
10:10Get busy living
10:11or get busy dying.
10:12That is Andy Dufresne
10:14from Shawshank Redemption,
10:1719.
10:18Actually, no, wait.
10:19That is...
10:20You've already given an answer.
10:21That is red,
10:21and it's 1994,
10:23Shawshank Redemption.
10:26You corrected yourself.
10:27You corrected yourself.
10:28I'm going to give it to you.
10:29You got all three points
10:30on that one.
10:32All right, Grant.
10:33So, Bo, you're at five points.
10:35Here's your next movie quote, Grant.
10:37I'm going to make him an offer
10:38he can't refuse.
10:40That would be Vito Corleone
10:42from The Godfather
10:47and 1971.
10:49You got The Godfather.
10:53Francis Ford Coppola.
10:54Francis Ford Coppola
10:55was the director.
10:57Okay.
10:58It's Vito Corleone.
10:58He's right on the video.
10:59Okay, okay.
11:00You got it then.
11:01Who won that?
11:02It was 1972, though.
11:04Hard.
11:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:07Years are hard.
11:08Years are hard.
11:09Yeah.
11:09He knew the risks.
11:10He didn't have to be there.
11:12It rains.
11:13You get wet.
11:17I don't know.
11:18No?
11:18I got nothing on this one.
11:19No?
11:20Nope.
11:20All right, that is from,
11:21and I swear I looked up dude movies.
11:23Like, I purposely looked up guy movies.
11:25From Heat, 1995.
11:27That is one.
11:29Neil McCauley.
11:30Yeah, that is a movie that is,
11:31Heat's a really good movie,
11:33but that's one of the few movies
11:35I don't know a lot of lines from.
11:36I can give you a lot of quotes
11:36of them we can't see on the air
11:38from that particular movie.
11:40That's probably why she went with that one.
11:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:42I had to look for good ones.
11:45All right.
11:45Queen ones.
11:46Grant, we'll move back to you.
11:48Snakes.
11:49Why did it have to be snakes?
11:51Indiana Jones.
11:53And that's from Raiders of the Lost Ark.
11:59Correct.
12:00And that is 1980.
12:05I want to steal.
12:07Well, yeah.
12:08I was going to say 1981, but.
12:10What is your final answer?
12:1281.
12:13Okay.
12:13He got it.
12:14I can give that because you gave me red.
12:16He mumbled it.
12:17Yeah.
12:18He got it afterwards.
12:19Okay.
12:20Bo, you ain't so bad.
12:22You ain't so bad.
12:22You ain't nothing.
12:23Come on, champ.
12:24Hit me in my face.
12:25My mother hits harder than that.
12:28That is Rocky III, Clubber Lang.
12:32And that year is.
12:36The year is tough, but I want to say it's 1983.
12:41Could be 84.
12:42Or 85.
12:44But I'm going to go with.
12:45I'm going to go with 85, actually.
12:48Okay.
12:49Can I steal who said it?
12:50Yeah.
12:52Because it's Rocky Balboa.
12:53It is Rocky.
12:55Taunting Clubber Lang in their rematch.
12:58Do you want to steal?
12:59Ain't so bad.
13:01You want to finish it?
13:02No.
13:03We're good.
13:03You got it.
13:04What year?
13:05Do you want to steal the year?
13:0684.
13:07No.
13:08It was 82.
13:0982, really?
13:1082.
13:11I didn't know those came out so quickly.
13:12Because the first one was 76 or 77?
13:1570.
13:16Well.
13:17Don't ask me.
13:18Yeah.
13:19Grant, moving back to you.
13:21The good news is the accelerator's fixed.
13:24The bad news is the transmission's screwed.
13:26I'm coming in.
13:29Bo is being tortured right now.
13:34Wow.
13:36It sounds familiar.
13:37But I don't know it.
13:38And he's going to steal it.
13:39And that's going to be all on.
13:41All right, Bo?
13:42That's Cole Trickle from Days of Thunder.
13:45And I believe it's 1990.
13:47That is correct.
13:48You got a turkey on that one.
13:49Well, I was like, really?
13:51I missed this.
13:52I didn't get this.
13:53And I thought Grant would do it.
13:55All right.
13:56Right now, the score is 9 to 8.
14:00Bo is in the lead.
14:01It's close.
14:02Nobody's leaving.
14:03Bo, this is for you.
14:03Nobody's leaving.
14:04Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas.
14:09That is Christmas Vacation.
14:12It's Clark Griswold says it.
14:15And the year is definitely tough.
14:18But I am going to go with 87.
14:24Not the right year.
14:25You want to steal on the year, Grant?
14:2786.
14:28It is 89.
14:30I thought that was going to the other direction.
14:33Yeah.
14:34I mean, same.
14:35Okay.
14:35Well.
14:36All right.
14:3611 to 8.
14:38We got one more here.
14:40Just a reminder, fans.
14:41Coming up is our diehard night here at the stadium.
14:43Free admission to anyone who is actually alive the last time the Indians won a pennant.
14:48Harry Doyle, Major League, 1989.
14:49That is correct.
14:51That was your Days of Thunder.
14:52Yeah.
14:53Okay.
14:53Wait a minute.
14:54It's 11 to 11.
14:55Let me grab one more.
14:57Ring in.
14:58Okay?
15:00Life moves pretty fast.
15:01If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
15:07Nothing on that.
15:09I feel like I should know this.
15:11I mean, I'm sure I should know it on the other side.
15:13But it is still before 7 a.m.
15:15So I'm just going to give myself a pass on this.
15:18That is Ferris Bueller.
15:19We'll get another one.
15:20I am serious.
15:21And don't call me Shirley.
15:23Bo.
15:23Airplane.
15:29I thought you said ring in.
15:30I did say ring in.
15:32I rang in with the answer.
15:33Sorry.
15:35Go ahead, Bo.
15:35I was going to say airplane.
15:38I just.
15:40I get why Grant.
15:41He was going to say airplane.
15:42I know why Grant just said the answer.
15:47But I was just going by regular trivia rules.
15:50No, I mean, yeah.
15:51Allie did give the rules to ring in.
15:53Due to semantics.
15:54Bo has won this round of due to movie trivia.
15:57However, I feel like you both proved that you know your movie quotes very well on that one.
16:00Yeah.
16:01I love the fact that he got the major league one.
16:04And then I was able to steal Days of Thunder.
16:06Because I'd have been.
16:06Although I can't.
16:07I'm very disappointed that I could not for some reason think of Tony Montana's name.
16:12Tony Montana.
16:13Which if you'd have asked Grant that and Grant would have been struggling, I'd be like,
16:17dude, come on.
16:18It's Tony Montana.
16:19Like, so very frustrated.
16:21I'm still irritated about missing Die Hard.
16:23The year.
16:24The year.
16:24The year.
16:24Okay, I was like, you got it.
