This is episode number 236.

I am Barrett Gruber.

I'm Zach King.

Welcome, ZACH.

It's.

We're recording this on January 1st because I looked at the calendar and was like, you know what?

We said we'd only be gone for two weeks, and I don't know how this is going to work out if we don't record something.

I have forced Zach out of his hibernation, and we're recording an episode, and it's.

Real quick.

Want to thank Steven Summerlin for being on the show the last time we recorded before Christmas.

Absolute pleasure having Stephen on, and I look forward to having him on in your stay.

Yeah, I got to run it.

Run it by him because I hope he picked up that I was like, stephen, we need you.

Yeah.

So it would be awesome if Stephen could do that.

So I think.

I think what we're going to do is when Leroy is not available, Steven will be available, and when Steven's not available, make Leroy available.

So, I guess round table.

Yeah.

That sort of news is that Leroy Green is also going to be.

It takes a lot of people to replace you, Zach.

That's.

That's essentially what I'm trying to say.

I'm basically three people in one.

I'm talking to him right now.

Yeah, see?

Shut up.

You are not welcome in here.

I'm Comic Accurate Deadpool when it comes to the insanity, because in case you don't know and you just seen the movies.

Deadpool actually has multiple two more voices in his head talking to him.

So that's the fourth wall.

He is breaking the fourth wall and he has other personalities or other voices in his head.

Interesting.

See, you learn something.

That is what this show is for.

It's hilarious to read those other voices in the comics because it just adds depth for him to banter with.

Was it maybe a device that the writer and author needed to use?

Maybe, but it works perfect.

This is not a solo comic.

This can't be a solo comic.

He can't run around and do stuff and just quip about it.

He has to talk to somebody.

Yeah.

So just as a reminder, Zach's having twins.

I guess they will be here before April.

Probably there will.

And I'll, I'll just not to scare you, but 37 weeks, and I'm sure you already know this, 37 weeks is generally the cutoff for twins.

That is, they are, they are fully born, they're fully grown, they're ready for birth and, and generally it's just healthier for your wife and, and the children.

Well, we had their four hour long anatomy scan, but it was beautiful getting to see them.

But they cover one baby head to toe.

You know how long just one baby takes?

Yeah.

And it was the boy because he's got on kind of on top to the side there, so he was easy.

And then my girl was kind of under on the side.

But they're both have all their toes, no cleft palates.

Their brains are formed.

Perfectly beautiful brains on these babies.

Everything looked perfect.

Their eyes sockets, everything.

All.

All 20.

All 20 fingers and 20 toes present.

That's awesome.

That was awesome to see.

And then their weights.

The boy was 1.3 pounds and the girl was 1 pound, so.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, that's not unheard of.

They're gonna go through pretty major growth spurt over the next two years, two months.

Yeah.

And I was like, the doctor's like, this is one thing.

We're gonna keep an eye on the smaller one.

I was like, traditionally in nature the boys are gonna be bigger than the girls.

And I'm not sweating.

0.3 pounds.

Yeah.

You know, so now I'm excited for you.

And you know, I know there's probably some nervousness, there's probably some anxiety about what's going to happen.

How do you take care of, you know, two additional babies on top of the third?

I'm going to tell you right now, it works out.

Yeah, it'll work.

It works out.

I Kind of tell Gabrielle that all the time.

When you're in a situation like this, you can quit and run, but when you're.

If you're a caring father, period, or a caring parent, there is no fail here.

That failure literally is not an option.

You have to make it work.

Yeah.

And you will.

Yeah.

If you fight, you make it work.

So, like my mom always said, if it's worth having is worth fighting for.

So.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Keep fighting for it.

It's.

It's.

I think it's gonna be awesome.

And I can't wait to meet him.

That's gonna be exciting.

I am grateful.

I have four weeks of paid paternity leave.

I love that for you.

That's amazing.

And then I can.

I'm probably going to use two more weeks of vacation, so I'll be gone for, like, a month and a half for my job.

It's going to be a big year for the.

The King household.

I'm excited.

I'm excited for you.

Blows my mind.

By next Christmas will be, like, six months old.

Older.

Oh, right.

About that.

Yeah.

And you'll be.

You will be 36 years old when they're born, correct?

Yes.

And then I will quickly, the next month, turn 37.

37.

Yeah.

And by the time you see me, I will look 45.

What is this?

If I get the gray right here, too, I'll be like, barrett, someone's getting Rogaine, and it ain't me.

I don't think the Rogaine affects this.

I have.

I have considered the Rogaine dye stuff.

Oh, they have Rogaine dye, Don't they give them a ding for that one?

Well, I said it.

And I'm not talking hair loss.

I'm talking just.

Yeah, I don't.

I don't.

I don't know if.

I don't know if dyeing my beard or anything like that is.

I've.

I've thought about it, but never to the point where I, like, went through the.

Do a jet back like Billy Mays used to have that.

Yeah.

But I never.

Like, my hair is turning pepper.

Like, I've.

I've got the grays.

It'll be your signature.

You look like Billy Mays.

You just have a jet black beard for no apparent reason, but you use shoe shine.

That's kind of disturbing.

I just.

You should do it once.

Maybe we'll make that next year.

We'll make the Panthers Falcons bet.

Okay.

All right, Deal.

I.

You know what?

If.

If you're willing to make that.

That bet, then I Absolutely.

I.

That will be my end.

Is.

Is.

We will my.

My end of the bet if the.

If.

If the Falcons lose both games, the Panthers.

Which is entirely possible because I think the Panthers are going to be pretty good next year.

Yeah, you're kind of doing.

Panthers are going up and the Falcons are, like, going down a little.

Well, yeah, you're coming towards our level.

And we're just like, I don't know.

The Panthers are a spoiler team this year.

Like, I was really hoping.

And who did we spoil?

At the end of the day, it was Arizona was the only one.

That's true.

That.

I mean, that's true.

And Arizona was just as shocked to know that they were still had a playoff option.

Yeah, yeah.

I know.

They asked Clowney.

They told clowning, like, how does it feel to spoil Arizona's playoff hopes?

And he's like, I didn't know that they still had a chance.

We played Arizona today.

Coach just said, get me the ball.

That is the one clear.

Like, awesome thing is I can go get a Jadevion Clowney's Panthers jersey.

Yeah.

And that's cool.

That's awesome.

I think that's really cool.

I could get a Jedevion Clowney Falcons jersey.

Oh, bro.

It doesn't mean anything.

I got for Christmas.

Oh, hey, that's very cool.

You got debo on there.

J.D.

clowney and Mr.

Stefan Gilmore.

Stefan Gilmore.

You know what I have.

I have three of those sign.

I have two of those signatures.

I don't have clownies.

The only signature I don't have.

Yeah.

Very lovely gift.

One of the gifts that I got for Christmas this year was I got a piece of the.

And I'd show it to you, but it's over on the.

On the bookshelf.

The blimp.

What's the blimp that exploded?

The Heisenberg?

Hindenburg.

Hindenburg.

I got a tiny fragment of the Hindenburg.

That's a morose piece of history.

This is in a guy's skull.

It's.

It's a plea.

It's a piece of the outer canvas of the Hindenburg.

So not only did Indiana Jones ride the Hindenburg once, but my great grandmother also read the Hindenburg.

Really?

That's interesting.

Yep.

She was a little kid.

That is very interesting.

I think the world would probably be an interesting place if we still had.

As if blimps were still part of the trial.

I was literally talking about blimps.

I think it was Keith.

I was like, why don't we use blimps?

Just don't fill it with hydrogen, figure out something else.

Yeah, I thought.

I think, like, it would be really nice, right, to go take a blimp somewhere.

Yeah.

I mean, you're.

If it.

If it starts going down, the worst thing is, like, we're not going to land where we told you we were.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's a field, but someone knows where we are.

We're off by about 100 miles, but it's going to be the best landing you've ever had.

Yeah.

Our crash landings are just like, ba boom.

Yeah, it's gonna be great.

Out of the way.

Done.

I'm still on the blimp spirit.

Maybe you can only maybe.

Maybe it has to be, like, really pristine weather.

I don't even think that's necessary.

Like, you couldn't do a storm.

It would blow you around.

Right.

You get it?

Yeah.

But if you get the.

You.

You take the blimp up high enough that you're not in the strat.

You know, you're not in the stratosphere, where all the clouds are and.

And storms and things like that.

I mean, that's true.

That's why planes fly at 35, 40,000ft is because typically that's.

That' higher than where you will find most of the bad weather.

Well, I feel like maybe they can't go that high because then your gas is gonna.

Even if it's inert, like, you're gonna have problems with shrinkage or something with cold.

Oh, that's true.

Yeah.

And less atmosphere.

Well, that's.

Less atmosphere would make it get bigger.

Yeah.

So maybe that's less pressure.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't know that we have.

We have the technology.

We can.

We're just gonna Google.

Why don't we do blimps?

No mo.

Good years.

Onto something.

They're always at the football games.

The.

The.

The other business that we have to discuss is the Coastal Comic Con is coming up on March 1st and 2nd in Wilmington, South Carolina.

I will be there.

I wish that Zach was going to be there.

I wish that I was going to be there, too.

But they did announce their first two guests so far.

And I guess I'll just, I'll, I'll just.

Who are they?

So the first guest that they announced last week.

First guest.

Is going to be a returning guest, Sam Witwer.

Sam.

I did see that Sam was coming back.

Sam's coming back.

Of course.

Emmy nominated actor Sam Witwer, best known for his famous fearsome Star wars villain, Darth Maul.

I'm reading this verbatim.

Witwer has done extensive work for the storied Lucas Disney franchise, including Star Wars Clone wars, for which he earned an EMMY nomination in 20 as outstanding performer in an animated series.

Star Wars Story.

He did.

So he was in solo.

Just a bunch of games.

You're gonna know him from, from everything.

But we, we got to sit down with Sam Witwer for a couple minutes.

Still have not released that audio, which I should.

And I, I need to.

It's pretty much a crime that it's not been released.

I know, I know.

Especially I love their interview with Adrian Hugh as well.

Oh, man.

Matthew Waterson also, I think sitting down with Michael Bell.

Michael Bell.

Michael Bell.

He was the best.

He was so good.

Him and Matthew Watterson were my two favorite ones.

They were, they were fantastic.

And I, I, I, I don't, I can't give away a lot of information.

I did have a pretty prolonged phone call today about Coastal Comic Con and there is going to be a big announcement this week of.

They're going to do, they're going to do a release of three guests or three, three of the stars that are going to be announced this week for the Coastal Comic Con taking place in Wilmington, North Carolina at the Wilmington Convention center on March 1st and 2nd.

So I will be there the entire weekend.

I'm looking forward to that.

I will probably send Zach a bunch of text messages saying, guess who I'm sitting with?

And I'll be like, fuck you, Barrett, you son of a bitch.

That's all right.

As long as come, dude.

Who knows?

Maybe I'll have a, maybe I'll have a break and be like, are you sure you're not having them today?

And she'll be like, I'm fine.

And I can shoot up there for a day.

Hopefully I'll have room in my hotel room.

You can just stay with me, you know.

Are you sure you would want to bunk with me in a hotel room?

I would prefer to bunk with you than anyone else they're potentially going to stick me with.

Oh, Lord.

You know, I'm all for it.

Same way where it Stares at you in your sleep.

Some of that makes me uncomfortable.

In his sleep, he just goes, Kenobi.

But yeah.

So Sam Witwer has been announced, and the second person, individual star that's been announced is.

Back.

Man, I'd love.

So two returners.

Yeah, two returners.

Matthew Wood.

Sam Witwer, of course, Matthew Wood is.

Is known for a lot of the Lucas arts.

He's done a lot of the game tests.

He's been in the games.

He and him.

He and Sam Witwer work together on damn near everything.

Yeah.

If Matthew Wood's doing it, Sam's right beside him, literally doing it.

Yeah.

What Matthew Wood was.

He's the voice.

General Grievous.

Yeah, General Grievous.

He was also Fortuna.

Yeah, he also didn't.

He was the.

The.

The soldier bots, right?

Yeah, the battle droids.

Yeah, he's the battle droids.

So he.

Wally.

He was in Wally.

Was he Wally?

Yeah.

Let's see.

For Pixar Sci Fi Wall E.

Let me see.

He received his first Academy award nomination for sound editing for Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be blood at the 80th Academy Award.

That's right.

He did do the sound editing for one of my favorite movies ever.

Yeah.

There Will be Blood was fantastic.

For the Pixar sci fi film Wall e at the 81st Academy Awards for Star wars the Force awakens at the 88th Academy Awards.

So these are.

These are all.

These are all things that he was.

He was a part of and was nominated for.

That's why he and Sam Witwer get to stick in those stormtrooper jokes.

Yeah, like the.

Have you heard about the new T56?

Oh, I just got the T55.

I didn't even know they're making a T56 in the next movie.

It'll be like, did you hear about the new T57s?

Yeah.

Oh, no.

I just traded in my T56 for a T57.

I haven't gotten it yet.

Like, it was all kind of weird jokes like that you can catch in each Star wars movie.

Yeah, yeah, It's.

It's.

It's.

It's fun.

Matthew Wood is fun.

Sam Witworth.

I would not step to Sam Witwer or Matthew Wood about Star wars trivia.

They would.

No, not me.

They would be me.

They would bomb everybody out.

Just done.

If, if, if, if.

If there is a.

If there is an opportunity to sit down with them, the likelihood is, is that I'm hoping someone will provide me with the notes that I need in order To.

I'll tell you what.

Steven's down.

He could go with you.

He knows all Star wars trivia.

That sounds good.

That sounds good.

All right, so, yeah.

So Coastal Comic Con coming up in Wilmington, South Wilmington, NC, March 1st and 2nd at the Wilmington Convention Center.

You can check out the webpage coastalcomicon.com you can email info@coastal comic con.com if you have any questions.

But tickets are on sale now, and literally from today, we're two months away from this thing.

My, my cousin Jamie, who.

I was just hanging out with him this last weekend, he's a, I think, Carolina beach police officer.

Right.

It's Wilmington, but he patrols those, so he might be one of the police officers at the event.

Very cool.

See, see if he's doing that.

Very cool.

Yeah, it's, it's, it's going to be a really good time.

Go check it out.

Coastal Comic Con.com for tickets so that you can get that set up.

We're going to have Brock on probably here in the next few weeks to, to go ahead and kick that off for the podcast and, and start doing that marketing and everything so that, so that, that started.

And, and, and, and, and we get as many people to, to attend this Coastal comic.

Coastal ComicCon.

He's gonna yell at me.

He is gonna yell at me.

Donald Brock is a great guy, and, and, and I always look forward to seeing his name pop up on my phone.

Always.

What?

No way.

Who else.

Who else do you like on the phone?

Is a very short list.

So that's, that's, that's the big announcement.

3.

Three people are going to get announced for Coastal Comic Con this week.

That's exciting.

I'm looking forward to that.

Happy New Year.

I hope everybody had a Merry Christmas and, and, and that their new year.

We're only 18 and a half hours into it here on the east coast, but, you know, looking.

Hope everyone is looking forward to the things that are come up this year.

I know that there are a lot of things that we're not looking forward to, but we can't do anything about it.

One of those being, of course, Donald Trump to be inaugurated on January 20th, which is, you know, 19 days away.

Just got to have that popcorn now, Barrett.

Nothing we can do?

No, absolutely.

And ultimately, I think that that's.

That's pretty much.

We're just going to commentate on it because that's all we can do is Just is just.

Who didn't see this coming?

Yeah.

Bingo card is being filled out one by one instantly.

It's.

It's insane.

Some of the things.

So I wanted.

Elon Musk came out last week before New Year's, before Christmas, I think.

President elect, Vice president.

Vice Viceroy to the President.

Yeah, Viceroy to the President.

Elon Musk wants high tech skilled immigrants and wants to expand on the H1B immigration status, I guess the ability to bring in high tech skilled immigrants here in the United States, which is.

Yeah.

What was that?

Read that whole Twitter post.

If you have it, they can fuck their faces.

Yeah, I don't have it in front of me, but that's pretty much what Elon Musk said to.

Oh, it was a verbatim fuck your face.

Yeah, which.

Which was.

That was a direct reference to a movie, wasn't it?

Well, anyway, so I told those.

I hate to also do that, but.

Elon Musk wants high tech skilled immigrants.

But Trump ran a campaign of getting rid of immigrants here in the United States.

And there are a number of.

I see it on TikTok and other social media posts.

There are people that feel as though Donald Trump has turned their back on them.

Which I'm just going to say this for those people that feel like Donald Trump turned their back on them.

Welcome to the club, you know?

Well, and they're not talking about like Mexican border because those are the immigrants.

Right.

That everybody wants.

Everybody wants to stop.

Right.

What are you going to do?

Pull them over the wall like, you know.

C.

Yeah, exactly.

Exactly.

You can go to DeVry University or University of Phoenix and get your computer science degree and then be welcomed into the United States.

See, that's the thing.

Those are the.

Those are the jobs that, you know, like I have.

You write JavaScript.

C.

C, C.

The direction you're leading me down, Zach, is.

Is full of jokes.

That's funny because these don't know.

C.

Yeah, but these are jokes that.

Only end in racial.

Whatever.

Punchlines.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, I was trying to find his fuck your face tweet, but he tweets way too much.

Well, I don't know if you saw the post I put on Tick tock yesterday or the day before.

I literally had to block Elon Musk's four Twitter accounts 48 times.

12 times each.

Over the past.

Over the past.

It was like since the.

Since the purchase of Twitter, 40, 48 times I had to block and because it would just get unblocked all by itself.

You know, I.

I do think it's funny that you will still see fact corrections from people on Elon Musk's tweets.

There was one the other day.

Maybe he gets rid of him eventually.

But it showed up and I was like, right on.

If he.

If he.

At least if he established his Twitter kingdom, it also counts for him as well, right?

We're all paying taxes.

Yeah, well, we are all paying taxes.

Elon Musk does not pay taxes.

Need to pay taxes.

Let's.

Let's be honest.

He does not.

I just sell some emeralds for my father's mine.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Elon Musk's wealth value on paper has gone up more than double since Donald Trump was elected.

Back on November 5th, Elon Musk went from about $204 billion in value to.

They.

The experts, financial experts, whatnot, have claimed that he will be worth $600 billion by the time Trump hits his hundred days in office.

$600 billion.

That is because in all likelihood, they will expand on a number of the government contracts and subsidies that between Tesla, SpaceX and Neuralink, those three companies alone will likely receive very large expansions on their government contracts.

And you know what?

I was going to make a joke, but I bet you within this four years he will.

Elon Musk will want to redo the beast, that Cadillac the President rides in and make it like a Tesla truck, Tesla cybertruck limousine thing.

It's already bulletproof, Barrett.

Oh, my God.

I bet that's gonna happen, dude.

You just.

You just extend the.

The size of the beast.

He has to have like a.

Oh, shit handle to get in, like, a little lift on it.

He's like, yeah.

I suspect over the course of the next four years, Donald Trump will go from the age of 78 to 82.

I suspect that at some point, Donald Trump will have to have some sort of.

Something's got to pop out from underneath the limo to allow him to step up into it because it's.

It's larger than your average limousine.

I mean, will publicly his pants more than one time.

Oh, 100%.

Oh, they're gonna have to.

They're gonna have to do something to the inside of that interior just to.

Just to make sure that nothing.

Get him some.

Muffled sound suppressed Depends if you're doing it.

No one can know.

We can't help the smell.

They're saying he embarrassed himself pretty good at that unveiling of Notre Dame.

Notre Dame.

Sorry, Notre Dame.

In.

In Paris.

He apparently stunk.

He stunk up the vicinity.

His.

His vicinity.

Pretty bad.

I got the bubble guts.

I'm sorry.

Art just moves me.

The video of him sitting at.

In Notre Dame and literally no one is sitting around him, but the reactions from people all around him are.

Are basically just pure disgust.

You see like macaron in the background.

Like.

A gag take.

Would have been fantastic.

That would have been the money shot.

What is it?

Elon Musk and Donald Trump have also grown considerably closer.

While also Donald Trump has expressed that he is frustrated with the amount that Elon Musk is around.

But recently Donald Trump boasted about the fact that Elon Musk is now paying $2,000 a night for a cottage on the Mar A Lago estate.

That.

That.

Gosh, that's like two cents every day for six hundred dollar billionaire feature.

Six hundred billion dollar.

Yeah.

Elon Musk now lives at Mar A Lago.

And there was at one point.

Weird.

It.

Doesn't it feel weird?

Like Elon Musk could live anywhere.

Why would you live.

First of all, why look at a map of where Mar a Lago is in relation to the.

It's like West Palm beach area, right?

It's West Palm beach, but it's also, it's.

It's directly on the.

The eastern takeoff from the airport, the international airport.

So literally, you're at Mar A Lago.

You've got jets taking off all the time.

This is, this is, you know, it might be a quick A to B to the new island.

Musk Island.

Yeah.

Epstein's old island.

Musk.

Musk.

Muskines Island.

Must.

Yeah, it's.

And.

And then all of the infighting between the traditional magazines versus the tech boy billionaire magazine has been popcorn worthy.

I mean, it is.

Ultimately, I'm here for it.

I'm enjoying it.

Jack Daugherty got out of there just in time.

He's like, Twitter's a fire.

I am weird.

I don't want people to know I'm weird.

I'm gonna go be weird on a mountain in Tibet.

Whatever, Whatever.

Jack.

Daughter.

He does or whatever.

You know what I'm talking about, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Beard.

Yeah, no, I know.

He's now created Blue sky, which is basically the.

Oh, he's behind Blue Sky.

Yeah, yeah, he's.

Yeah, that's why we had 300 characters to blue Sky.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

He's like, I liked it when people can kind of shut the fuck up at you.

Yeah.

Keep it.

Keep it.

Yeah.

We don't need you.

We don't need you expressing yourself completely.

Yeah.

This, the 300 200.

Whatever characters it gives you, it gives you the ability to kind of control it.

Yeah, we want to know what you're thinking, but, like, not that deep, right?

Speaking of, the All About Nothing podcast is on Blue sky as well.

I'll, I'll add it to the show notes, but we're on.

I didn't get Blue sky while I was out on the crab boat for the last two weeks.

Yeah, you do look like you've been fishing a lot recently.

Let me tell you.

There's some crabs.

They're feisty, especially when your captain is hammered and the boats are rocking that up, boys.

I want my pots all counted for.

Deadliest Catch is coming back for, like, its 18 or 19th season, and every.

Time, not as my show gets picked up.

It's called Deadliest Fetch, and it's which dog can bring you back a landmine?

I'm both disappointed and excited at the same time.

Sometimes we mess with them and do those stick grenades from World War II so it looks like a stick.

They never make it back.

I'm a season one spoiler alert.

If they do, then you lose.

I've never laughed harder than seeing a man run from a dog with a grenade in its mouth.

Yeah, Yeah, I, I, I would imagine that that's pretty, that's, that's pretty entertaining.

Yeah, I had to do it.

Deadliest Fetch coming to you, Discovery Channel.

Well, every time.

Every time.

And we'll, we'll start wrap this up.

This is gonna be a short episode because we just want to put something out there.

But I, I, I, I look forward to Deadliest Catch coming back.

But every time I watch Deadliest Catch, I'm like, I could do that.

I could be a deckhand on Deadliest Catch.

I wouldn't whine about how cold it is or how wet I am or.

Yeah, just filming a job that blows.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Marine construction.

That job blew.

Yeah.

I'd rather be pulling crab pots, like, the only.

The only.

And I'm not scared of sharks and Icelandic temperature water.

But drowning wouldn't be fun.

That's the scary part.

That kind of shit is terrifying.

I don't want a ship to go over.

Yeah, but the crab potting part of it.

Yeah.

Okay.

Like, they had a guy jump in, like, with no shirt on to, like, hook a pot back up.

And the captain's like, literally, that's like one of the deadliest things to do.

Like, don't do that.

And they pulled him back in.

You know, he lived.

Go in there and get beside the stove.

Sig Sig knocked his son in law into the, into the ocean this past season.

Like Sig on the Northwestern dropped his son into the water and it's like, you know, he got out, he was fine.

It's an easier way to make a quick, like 40K.

He's, he's completely shriveled from the waist down.

From now on, nothing works.

But, you know, who needs more grandkids?

As Larry the cable guy said, he now pooped his wiener.

I'm just kidding, Sig.

If you watch this show, I'd really like for you to be on.

Just put a cigarette out.

And he's like, motherfucker, in a week we're going to both be on a crab boat just being told what to do.

That's right.

This is the new economy.

What happened?

Barrett and Zach, we love the podcast.

Fortunately, the only job we could get when Trump took over was this, because we don't do C and Java.

Yeah, well, I do, but Barrett wouldn't.

Teach me C and Java.

And then he got real lippy about it.

He kept boasting, I punched him.

Now his brain don't work.

Here we are picking up crab pots.

You know what?

Harder than we both thought.

Yeah, probably.

So I say I can do it.

I probably can't.

No, no.

I think the last thing, last thing I was going to talk about because South Carolina and Georgia Tech both lost their bowl games.

What the fuck was that?

Georgia Tech lost because a better team won.

South Carolina lost because.

Why did we lose?

Well, calling in substitutions like they did, highly illegal.

And referees deciding not to call that.

So help me out with that because I saw a bunch of things saying that what Illinois did was legal, but it's not something that most teams do because it's not really.

It's not part of the gameplay.

It's not part of chess.

Like, you're not supposed to do it technically.

I think if they didn't have their man and in time and it's a.

Clocks down to five seconds.

Yeah.

Hike the ball.

Then they have too many men on the field, like, and they're done for.

Right.

But you can't hike the ball if the ref is standing on it.

Right.

So how, how does that work with.

I mean, and maybe this is, maybe we're going to have to have Zach.

On, but I know he's pissed about it.

Oh, I saw, I saw his posts.

Plus plus, at the end of the day, you had, you had guys in the second half of the game stop, like, literally quit.

Like, like, I'm I'm only playing the first half.

You're like, okay.

But then I think that South Carolina thought they should win this.

The whole weeks after the calypso game of just the hyping up of South Carolina.

Yeah, it got to him and they were like, we should dog walk them easily.

If you, if you played like you, you could lose the game.

You would have, right?

It was 17 to 21.

If you could have done anything else, like, you, you could have.

And I think there were dudes out there like Demetrius Knight that were playing like lights out, trying to do it.

Not getting the offense rolling blew my mind.

I mean, dude, give Illinois credit.

They're not a dog shit team.

They were there for a reason, too.

Yeah.

Rocket Sanders, though, is, is he looking just, Is it the NFL draft?

He's looking, he's looking to hit the combine.

Yeah.

He didn't play at all.

Yeah.

No.

And when he announced that he wasn't.

Playing, both of them announced like a week or two before.

A week or two.

Okay.

So we knew.

Okay.

Yeah.

Another one was, the other one was Kyle Kennard, who you're familiar with, but he, he was the number one defensive player in the country.

Yeah.

This year.

I don't blame him.

No.

And at the end of the day, I didn't get torn up about it.

It's a bowl game that doesn't count for anything.

Like, it would have been nice to get that 10 win, but it's the same mentality those players took.

It's just a bowl game.

But that's not the narrative we were fed the entire couple weeks.

Month.

Right.

We wouldn't win that.

10 wins all.

None of us are opting out.

Well, half your asses are opting out at halftime.

Like, I saw a lot of quit and that's not what you normally.

No.

And I think again, it boils down to.

This was a out of season bowl game.

There's a lot of players.

The bowl game.

The outcome of a bowl game has an effect on nothing.

And the likelihood of a player getting hurt at that level on an extra, you know, on the 13th game of the season is, is high.

I mean, you know, you have, there's, there's so much that could potentially happen that you, you, I, I don't blame them.

If you're, if your future is playing on Sundays and, and, and that's your future next year.

I, I don't blame him at all.

I'll say somebody from your bowl game that I love and I hope that he gets everything, gets his flowers, Haynes, King fantastic dude has a motor and never quits.

His jersey is dirty.

Every time like that dude is out there to make plays happen.

If, if he can, if he can get some receivers, you couple, you couple his passing accuracy and get.

And make that better next year.

But you couple that with getting some receivers that he can hit.

Taller, bigger receivers at Georgia Tech.

Yeah, let's get a Megatron out there.

I think, I think you have, you have the potential of a Lenora Sellers Haynes King.

I'm just gonna say it.

Heisman.

Heisman watch.

I think solely because of Haynes King and the culture that, that Georgia Tech is building, you're not going to see us come and take your players.

No, no.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, but I think that, I think that's going to start stopping and that's.

Any of your key players from this year, I think they should return and I think they have a reason to return.

But then you have those commits, maybe some transfers.

I don't know what Georgia Tech is doing in the transfer portal right now, but I would love to go play for a quarterback like Haynes King.

Dude, I'd be like, dude's gonna go out there and throw it to me.

I can make a difference because he's, he's literally missing a big time player.

Like you're saying big time receiver.

Lenora Sellers and, and Haynes King will be playing on Sundays and I'm here for it.

Yeah, I think it's going to be fantastic.

I think that Ladoris kind of needs.

What Haynes King needs is some top tier receivers.

Yeah, Yeah, I think, I think that's exactly it.

Well, we got another nine months before, before the season kicks off, so hopefully that the portal is going to get utilized.

We're going to see some recruits come in and you know, that's that, that, that's what I'll enjoy.

And I will after, after watching South Carolina this year, I'm back on the bandwagon.

I will, I will pull for South Carolina every game as long as they're not playing.

Georgia Tech, which isn't scheduled for another, is not on this.

We might find you in baseball at some point.

Oh, yeah.

That's entirely possible.

That's not possible.

I'm excited about that.

Paul Monary.

Yeah, the boys love him.

He's fun.

I think all the videos I've seen, Pulmonary looks like a fun guy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Here for it.

Even LSU fans are like, we cannot hate South Carolina.

Pulmonary, such a good guy.

Yeah, I think I think that's baseball.

Is on its way back.

Barrett.

We've got March.

Yeah, I'm excited for it.

I think.

I'm hoping, I'm hoping here in the next few weeks we might have some big announcements to make for, for the Columbia Fireflies too.

So.

Thing that sucks for me is I catch at least, I try to catch at least five or six games each year for college, not doing it with twins.

There's no getaway point like, can I just go, can I catch a game?

A nooner.

All right, that's go.

That's gonna, that's gonna wrap it up for episode number 236.
