This is the Dunlabor tour show with the Stugat Spatcast. Having had some time here to cool off and be alone with my thoughts and see all of the ways that I am flawed, perhaps publicly you guys can help catch me up on some things that I've missed last week from the scouting combine. Because I thought that there were three big stories from the scouting combine, okay? Diego Pavia is himself, and so people don't like when a quarterback goes in there or any player

2:05and isn't maximum humble inside of the system. Rubenbane's arms are too short, and then this man, Jennings Dunker. Oh my hero. Offensive lineman from Iowa, and from your hair metal band past. This is 80s music, this is poison. This is, yes, this is a big guy with a mullet. Look at him doing drills here. Is that a pure ginger? Chris? Oh, that is a proper ginger right there. Full. What do you think? Do you think that's a proper ginger? You know how I feel about that word. I don't want to be scared of that word. I don't like the word either. I don't get it at words. It's pejorative. It's pejorative. I don't think it is pejorative. I believe that it should be pejorative because you're attacking a minority, but you're doing it with ginger, and it's just a nice word, but jujitsu doesn't want any part of it. If you're listening to Ellen. I didn't like the word growing up. I'll be honest with you. Okay, so you think it's a slur?

3:06You think this because jujitsu is avoiding the word entirely. On the list of slurs, probably low. But a slur nonetheless. I'll give you that. But I don't think anyone looks at it as a slur. But now let's rank them. Well, I'll do the one. You need to, on behalf of fellow gingers, rise up if you wish for it to be considered a slur because no, I haven't heard no one ever say that gingers are being wronged by being called gingers. It's not exactly a term of endearment, but it's sure not a slur, it's not a slur, it's not a slur, it's, it's, look, it does, I don't think it even gets close to cracker. Oh, wow, I am scared. I don't think it's even, I think ginger exists in this space where it is not quite offensive,

4:06but it's, it's just a descriptive term that isn't quite as benign as redhead, but also I have never heard anyone, I've heard gingers refer to themselves as ginger without... We could say it to each other. Oh, see? Oh, sure, they could say it. They could say, they could say it with an A or an N, gin job. Can I see a little more of this guy doing drills? It's a great, it's a great name, Jennings Dunker, but it's a lot of, it's a lot of red hair, but Chris, I'm not sure it's a lot of freckles. Oh, there's some pale thighs though. I cannot tell from here that they're, they're freckles, and also... Can we zoom in on that arm? And also, Sam Darnold is a little bit paler that I think of gingers as being slightly less tan than this person, not getting a tan in Iowa. The combine, the combine is wears. Is it still in Indianapolis or something? Yes, that's why Carson Beck got booed because they allow paying patrons

5:07to go over there and hackle Carson Beck. Who, by the way, made himself some money with some most impressive quarterback on throwing day. Why is it that he was being hackled just... Because they law say Indiana. Also, people just hate Carson Beck. I think it's his face. Definitely his face. It looks like a mugsie cartoon. What other scouting combined stories did I miss? Is there anything good that other than those three that I just mentioned? The head coach, the Jets Aaron Glen, took a nap during the conversation on TV. Aaron Glen got caught. Was alerted that he was on camera and had to be startled. We can wrap that video for you. Jeremiah Love, very fast. Why wasn't Arkansas better? Was another question that people were asking. Markel Bell, hey, where maybe Ruben Bayne has some physical deficiencies. Markel Bell seems like an elevated human being who is very fast. I don't know if he's going to have to run 40 yards down field, but it seems as though he can do so quite well. The Ruben Bayne discourse is interesting,

6:07because we've always known that he's been undersized. We've known about his wingspan, but I guess people at large didn't tape speaks for itself. The thing about wingspan that's interesting to me, because every year at this time we start objectifying these people in a way that's a meat marketing and it's usually there's some small hand stuff. This is not something that I've heard a lot of, because you have to have a specific set of things to be a great edge rusher. And usually, the jadevian clownies of the world happen to have hands that reach down to around their knees because they can swing around the edge with that kind of wingspan. But Ruben, the way that Ruben Bayne does it, though, is because he's lower to the ground. He is lower to the ground on the edge rush when he leans to you, and it's all strength. It almost doesn't matter that his arms are short

7:09because of how he's using leverage. But he will run into times where it matters. In fact, he has run into times. I've seen film breakdowns of when he was going up against Ole Miss's line. That was good and bigger body types and where your wingspan does matter. We ran... Same thing happened to Brett Romberg, who was a center for the University of Miami. T-Rex on his short arms. It's blocking. You're physically battling someone else, and you're at a disadvantage, a clear one if your arms are shorter when you're trying to disengage. So yeah, Ruben Bayne has to be more powerful. Has to be a little bit lower. Has to be a little bit quicker off the edge. He is all those things. I think he's going to be a real good pro. Will he replicate the same amount of success he had in college, going up against consistently bigger body types and wingspan? He's going to have to be really, really great to overcome that stuff. And it's probably why he won't be drafted, you know, top five. If he had normal arm length at the position, the guy would be a bonafide top three pick and no doubter. Yeah, it was also two more stories that came out. One, the USC Y receiver, lemon.

8:10He was giving sassy look. He was serving looks after the question. I saw that. Right. Then it didn't go over too well. As also a reporter, one of our own guys of in the media took upon himself to do his own combine. And this is one of the guys that they say has been talking about Caleb Williams, fingernails, and the softness of people. And he did a little bitch press. And we got a video with that. Let's see that video, too. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yes. And they were like, I was not ready for that. Did he say, oh, yeah, no. Why would he subject himself to do that? That's 135 pounds. That's not the 225 that they've got to throw up. That's 135 pounds. Why would he subject himself to that? Jeremy's, I want to do it. That's not what I'm saying back here. He said he looks like me. And I said specifically, I'm not going to say I could do that, because then Dan will make me do it. And I'm not going to. I'm already saying it. I'm not going to do it.

9:10I'm not going to do it. Nope. We have a gym. I already have a bad. I already have a bad back and neck specifically because Brian McKinney put me in a headlock. And I'm not doing anything about that. So let's not push it any further. McKinney hurt me too in that same situation. So I'm on the other side. Can you guys look up for me what the record is? It's still Larry Allen holds the record for bench press at the scouting comment, because I think he did 225 46 times. And I don't know if anyone has topped it since their Larry Allen was somebody who was feared by a whole bunch of violent men who do defensive things for a living. For 46 times at 225, which is that, that's really embarrassing for that report. How do you think those are going to go? I'm just surprised that he had that much trouble, though, with, I mean, you've got to be able to get 135 up off the one time.

10:12Like it can't just collapse on your chest. If you're someone who's criticizing Caleb Williams for painting his fingernails and being soft, it was immediate give up. You can't just quit when it lands on your chest and is, and is that light? He said, oh, yeah, no, that is. The record at the combine for reps of 225 pounds is 51 set by defensive tackle of eastern Kentucky Justin Ernest in 1999. Larry Allen did it 43 times. How do I probe? How was that player from Eastern Michigan? Did he play in the pro's or was he just somebody who holds the combine record and then stopped playing football after that? Because it's not somebody whose game I am familiar with. I don't know whether that person has actually had success in the pros or not. Never played an NFL game. Broke that record. He was in all Ohio Valley conference pick in 97. Played it at Eastern Kentucky

11:13and then never played an NFL game, despite doing that 51 times. Pretty impressive to me, whatever. Who cares NFL? It is actually. You know what? I'm with Zaslow on this. There's some guy wandering around the earth telling people, and nobody believes him. Would you believe? I never played football. But I did more bench presses with 225 while in a football setting than anyone has ever done. Including Larry Allen. That guy, that gasbag levitard won't shut up about. I did it eight times more than he did. And I was, I never played a decent football. Horrible at the other drills. I think that person actually tells people the bar now. I think we should A, try and get a hold of that person. And B, I think that guy, the way that he retells the story now in old age because it was in 99 is like, yeah. Once I did that, I didn't have any need to prove I was stronger than any of them. So I just quit football all day. Ran a 9-4-40. He must have really been terrible at the other drills now.

12:18You would think somebody would take a chance on the guy who could bench press through 25-51 times. Probably bomb the interviews. Been to be good at the cone drill. What have you guys noticed recently when purchasing things you've heard me complain about? I have a new complaint. But you've heard me complain about the way that coffee prices are going up. Get ready for gas to go up if it hasn't already when it gets to $100 a barrel. But a cup of beans right now. I just paid $9 for a cup of coffee. And it wasn't the most offensive purchase that was made by me in the airport. What is the most you guys think a blowpop costs now? I had not bought a blowpop in, I don't know, how many years? One blowpop. One blowpop. And I'm saying that this is what they cost all over. I know that the airport goes with game show prices on stuff.

13:20So I know that this isn't normal pricing. But still, I was alarmed when I put a blowpop on the counter and then put a dollar behind it thinking that I'm thinking that- No, that's not silly. Come on, that's not silly. That's not silly, man. Not silly, then come on. What a whole dollar. What a, look, if that person knows sports at all, what a strange interaction the person on the receiving end just had that. Yeah, you guys remember the guy from highly questionable? Came to my little kiosk, he put a single blowpop on the cashier table and slid a dollar behind it and looked at me like I was crazy. He has about the house in 50 years. Love the night.

Dan Lebatard. But it's just his titties are sitting on the shelf that is his belly. Stugats. He said titties and he's like shocked me a little bit. I wasn't quite prepared for titties. This is the Dan Lebatard show with his Stugats. Again, though, I want to ask the question. Are you, you guys, nobody here is surprised that a blow pop is over a dollar back in the day. It was a quarter. I would have guessed the dollar like that. When you said the, to guess, I was going to say, I didn't even get halfway there. It's 250 a bad guess. That was three dollars easy. It wasn't three dollars to 75. It was two dollars and 29 cents. But why are you, I don't think we're asking the most obvious question is you're at the airport. You're going for a snack. It's a great snack. I'm with Dan. And a blow pop. It's not, it's not a, a grown man at the airport with a sucker.

17:36And I think the, the airport shops know that they can jack up the prices because where else are you going to go? Also, do you get a banana? You a bite or a low and slow? I am a bite and two Trista's question, which is a good one, a real need to get airport breath out of my mouth and didn't want to buy an entire pack of gum. So instead of buying an entire pack of gum, I just wanted to get out, you, you guys know what I'm talking about? No, we don't, we don't, we don't know what airport breath is. It sounds like you might have sleep at me. It's a six hour flight and you're, no gum, just blow pop. Well, it is mouth breathing. No, what do you mean? Yeah, there is gum at the center of it. But like, I want to go to a blow pop to make my breath smell better. Uh, I'm going to get that taste, that airport breath out of my mouth. The airport, yeah, that is a result of the airport taste. Yes, clearly. It's a key little taste. Yes, but is that what airport? That's usually what airport breath is, brother. It's like, what do we do with the airport breath? It sounds like six of the lounge.

18:38I think people know what I'm saying when I say, you've taken a six hour flight. Do you have airport breath? I think people know absolutely what I'm saying. I also think I'm being quite reasonable when I say, I didn't want to buy a whole bunch of gum. I wanted a single piece of gum. And you can't buy a single piece of gum. Because I want a dollar with that blow close in the purse dollar, bro. Do you guys have something like this recently? Everyone's complaining about how much, yeah, despite having a fixed interest rate, my mortgage has gone up $600 over the last few months. And they don't tell me I have to figure it out for myself. I'm like, well, maybe it'll go down since it went up. It doesn't work that way. Yeah, who do I call? Because the second I get a mortgage, it changes like you immediately get a letter in the mail saying, hey, the person that you signed up your mortgage through, they don't have it anymore. They immediately sold it. They love selling that. Then you get another letter saying, guess what? I hope you then get used to them because they sold it. And then, you know, four months later, your mortgage rate goes up.

19:39You don't know who to talk to. This is insane. It went up $600 in the last few months. I'm not going to blame you for playing my invented game incorrectly. But when I went blowpop, I wasn't expecting you to go mortgage. I got one of those good ones. I got one of those like right at the time that you should. I'm telling you, we got less than 3% interest on this bad boy. Got that good rate? I got one of those COVID rates. I'll pre-pandemic. Yeah, yeah. So imagine all the leftover income that I could have spent on blowpops over the last few months. And then I look at this statement. I'm like, there was something wrong with the last one. But you know what? I got enough problems. We'll give them a month. It went up another couple hundred. Put it on the pole, please, Judeoat Levitard. Show is $2.29 too much for a blowpop. And speaking of finances that I don't understand, there are a couple of things happening in the business of college sports that I don't understand. I don't understand Cincinnati, the university,

20:42suing quarterback Brendan Sorby for a million dollars because they want a million dollars for Texas Tech stealing its quarterback. And I don't understand how it is that Mike's guy, D-Money, from Kane Inside, keeps putting out that the FSU program is $437 million in debt. The FSU athletic program, I don't even understand how you get to $437 million in debt and are allowed to keep functioning. A lot of bad buyouts and no on-field success, no college football playoffs. And they've spent a ton of money on lawyers to thankfully they were the ones that did that because Miami ended up reaping all the benefits from the FSU actually being the ones to sell. But this happens. Maryland and Rutgers have also lost a lot of money. There was a story that said Penn State who's actually had some success in the college football playoff. There are losing money over there. Two quick things. There's an SNK's insight and an SNS Sorby.

21:44Did I not say Kane's insight? I said Kane's insight, which is at my other website that is totally dedicated to the Undertaker's brother, the Big Red Machine. How does a program exist at $437 million in debt? How do you get out from under? How do you compete in big-time college football against programs that are making money when you're $437 million in debt and you can't get rid of your coach because you can't afford the buyout? Right. So what happens is they're going to spend another year knowing that it's a nowhere year, but that saves them on the buyout. That's the reality of their situation. They're going to have to get lucky on a coach that is known to develop talent. They haven't really taken that path right now. They're probably going to turn a private equity to get them out of it, but we don't know the rules there yet. I know that they've been talking plenty. But Elliott has said he's a part of a private equity group that is trying to help FSU's financial situation. Ultimately, where this all goes

22:44is some kind of uniform super league alignment from the top 50-some odd schools there. And football is siloed off on its own, and you'll have owners. You'll have private equity firms and they'll be treated like actual professional projects. But how are you going to define what the top 50 programs are? Can one of them be $437 million in debt they're going to have to dig themselves out of that debt. But I do think that, look, it's all network-talking pro franchises in the world of college football. Florida State has immense value as a franchise, as a brand. And it's probably a worthy investment and a decent pay cheaper type of opportunity for someone that is looking to invest in private equity. Just there's a lot that needs to get worked out. That's why the president understands that. And at this point, conveniently reaching four sports to have some sort of normal conversation which he and his brand so desperately need, this thing's going to need to be collectively bargained. And it's going to take time and no one has the balls on either end

23:44because they're not wealthy enough on either end to say, let's stop sports for a minute. They're too popular and the money and the revenue is coming in and these TV deals exist and they can't turn off the spout. So they have to build the plane in the sky. And it's got to look messy and it's got to look like Brendan Sores be getting sued for a million dollars because they just saw, do get some sort of buyout. Basically, what's the, what can we lose here? Couple, maybe a couple, $10,000 on a lawyer's bill. Like Texas Tech has money to make me go away and shut me up and that's all that's happening. Well, but when you say Texas Tech, you see that Texas Tech basketball is also really good. Texas Tech has now bought its way into the game. And when you say top 50 schools at football, it's Cincinnati, one of them, because Texas Tech just stole Cincinnati's quarterback and Cincinnati wants a million dollars in that exchange for finders fee, whatever it is, they want a million dollars back because you stole our quarterback. Is Texas Tech now, Texas Tech has to be considered a major player. They've, but Texas Tech,

24:48in my lifetime, they beat Texas once with crab tree as the quarterback and have not mattered at sports the rest of the time. It's tumbleweed you. Texas Tech has not been one of the major programs in my lifetime. They exist to be like the seventh best program in the state of Texas as fodder to, for the rest of the conference and the good schools. Now Texas Tech is top 50. Is Cincinnati? I don't know if Cincinnati makes it to whatever super league. Cincinnati made it to, I think the 14 playoff pretty recently against Alabama. They've been a decent football program more known for basketball and their, and their heyday. Texas Tech's basketball team has been good along the way. A couple of times, certainly in my lifetime, they've been good. Not this good, not this good. Not top 10 good. Didn't they make it to, they made it to a final four in San Antonio? Yeah, they had a good basketball team with some good players there. But Texas Tech is just knowing what the NIL marketplace is. Texas Tech is really, really a tighten

25:49when it comes to talent acquisition and spending money. They have a very large affluent base that makes no bones about what they want. They're in a conference that allows for a pretty easy path as we saw. They made it to the college football playoff with relativ ease and we're given even a buy this year. So Texas Tech, they're going to be around for a long time in this game. I don't know how it all works with private equity and you would assume there's some kind of cap which may make Lubbock less appealing because right now they're not really dealing with that. The Lubbock Texas is nowhere land, right? The idea that that exists as a place that is now buying premium college football and basketball talent and that they've gotten into the game is something that is a little bit, it's unbelievable to watch them climb to the top with dollars because you can buy yourself into this game. Yeah, for older people like us too, but you have to keep in mind, Patrick Mahomes is a huge brand and he is very much associated with that school.

26:51It has his own brand that is designing uniforms there. If you're an impressionable high school kid looking where to take your talents. The school that Patrick Mahomes went to that's always putting up points and is very recently mattering in college basketball and mattering in college football, that seems like a lovely place for me to take your talents. Well, it's happening, what's one of the interesting things to see happening in the business of college sports is these athletes are no longer paying to put their name on the weight room or something. They're doing what Andrew Luck is doing which is saying, well, I'll go get the donors because I'm Andrew Luck. And if you give me the rights to run the entire program, I will get people who have money to spend money on the program because I'm Andrew Luck. So they're getting involved in a way that gives... When you see the athletes with money get into the competitive games where athletes are competing against each other with money. I don't know what Gilbert Reenis is doing right now, but the problem Gilbert Reenis had recently

27:52is that he's got too many guys in his neighborhood showing up with cars on his lawn and the neighbors are complaining. So he can't do a full studio that has skipped bailiffs in his house even though he's got enough money to compete in the media game. He's got too many people on his lawn because he's trying to run a full media empire. And on Tuesdays, when he's doing basketball and football shows, there are too many black people and the white people neighborhood and what's happening is they're like, stop. We got too many cars in the driveway here. Gilbert Reenis can't run a media center out of what is a legitimate studio. He's got a legitimate studio. Judges, like Jay Cole, I think the neighbors think I'm selling dope. This is actually like that better use as. Yo, that's my gimmick. Wait, what? No, that's not my gimmick. No, I was feeding him. I was feeding him a line and it's... No, I'm a wrecked Cody. No, I wanted Zaz to say you know about that too many black people. And he wouldn't do it. No, he wouldn't. But no, he said, yo, that's my gimmick not realizing that I was... I crouched down like in a whisper because I didn't even want the internet.

28:53Unbelievable. Not like anything. I mean, it's a red alert. Dan said crackers are there. Oh, it's on Zaz, so Zaz load. What just happened is, did you get scared? He said Cody, did you get scared? Because what were you saying? That's my gimmick too, black. Oh, excuse me. I was feeding him a... You know about that, you know about that too many black people, Dan? I would've thought it was on air for a second. Yeah, first part was my gimmick, the second part, not my gimmick. Well, none of it was... We were working in the shadows, pal. Like, no one was really alerted to what we were doing workshop in your gimmick. I respected the fact that it was your gimmick because I was trying to feed you the line so you could do your gimmick. That's in the shadows. No, but you said that on the air. No, I said it on the air. It was just something that you're just grasping right now, even though it was very clear to everybody else. You know what? I'm sorry to do this to you, Zaz, low, but you're gonna have to get out of here. I don't think I've ever made that mistake before. Minor penalty, two minutes, revering the show with your bare hands and a dismemberment kid in cold blood. Damn!

31:57or has he not been able to get it back. Like Gilbert Arrines got into the game aggressively. Uh, big. Uh, he gave up part of the ownership of his media thing and started his own thing as many people are doing in the media space, but there's too many cars at his house. Too many cars. When he tries to have Skibalus on, and this is why Texas Tech is back. Yeah. That's correct. That's what Andrew Luck has something to do with it too. And speaking of money issues as we were, I wanted to get into what it is that has happened to both boxing and Floyd Mayweather because I'm assuming that most people who are watching Floyd Mayweather, one of the few names in boxing that still somehow matters because there are very few of them, comes out of retirement at 49 years old. We're assuming, right?

32:58Everyone's assuming he needs money, right? Nobody goes back into the game of possibly being hit and embarrassed in front of people, simply because they love boxing a great deal at the age of 49. He's probably incredibly confused why someone keeps selling his mortgages. He probably has a dozen homes, and three dozen different people holding his mortgages lately. That's why he's fighting. It's the price of blowpops that has brought him back into the game. I'm sure all of it. And he doesn't look from where I was sitting over the last 20 years, didn't seem like he was super fiscally responsible. This is the least surprising thing ever. Well, you say it's the least surprising thing ever, but Jeremy, just look up for me, okay? The amount of earnings that we're talking about here, because while athletic money being blown is a bit of a cliche, there are very few athletes ever who have made the kind of money

33:59that Floyd Mayweather has made, because he's the best in the history of pay-per-view at making sure that the money ends up in his pocket. He is or has been a businessman as an athlete that almost doesn't have a peer because he owns all his own stuff as an independent. Your spending has to be so fiscally irresponsible to lose the amount of money that Floyd Mayweather has lost that it is almost beyond anything that is reason. It's not merely fiscal insanity, it's something that doesn't make any sense to me. Right, and another sign of him maybe in financial trouble is as of February, 2026, Floyd Mayweather has initiated a massive $340 million lawsuit against Showtime Networks and former executive Stephen Espinoza. So he's trying to get some bread right now. The estimate is that he made over $1.2 billion

35:02over the course of his career and just earnings from fights. Yeah, I think a question though, that you should also ask outside of how much is he made, is how much has he spent, you know? Because I would say he's fully capable of spending close to $1 billion in the last 25 years. You say that, but not that turn into the movie, Brewsters, Millions from the 1980s. It's hard to spend that money. It really is hard to spend that much money and end up in a situation where you have to fight at 49 because you're so used to a lifestyle that brings in giant amounts of money, that the only way for you to make a giant amount of money is to do what he's presently doing, which is something that somehow will make money because people will still want to watch if Floyd Mayweather can lose because that's where he made his $1.2 billion, he made it in us watching to see if he'd lose. I don't even think, like, it's just celebrity boxing

36:04is so popular because we are obsessed with celebrity culture and this is the rare reality show in which we can see people fight, you know? Like, oh, wouldn't it be awesome if this celebrity got in a fight with this celebrity? Look at the views that Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, AI video did, just because wow, what an awesome fight between two super famous people. Celebrity death man. Yeah, Mayweather doing the exhibition fight with Tyson who, you know, literally almost died the last time he tried doing this in his training against another celebrity and doing it against Pac-Yo, who, you know, them two together, that has cachet. That certainly has a big value and I think people will watch it well into their 60s if they decide to keep doing it. Well, but the thing that I'm pointing out though is that at 49, he would have no other way of making this amount of money in one place because it is an enormous amount of money that he will make though it pales in comparison to the previous amounts that he's made. But I remember telling you guys here

37:04when I saw it on South Beach at the height of his earning, right? He and his crew walk into a place that's crowded, it's by the pool, it's a pool party and one of the guys just takes out of the duffel bag, $10,000 in cash to get it for a handful of beach chairs by a pool. And I remember saying at the time and I felt judgmental saying it, but I'm like, that's exactly how you go broke, no matter how much money it is that you've made. But Jeremy, while you're looking up 1.2 billion, I'd love to know any athlete's ever who have made that amount of money because the boxing game is so corrupt, right? That Don King ran the boxing game and one of the ways that he ran it is, he just puts the suitcase with a million dollars cash in front of Muhammad Ali. He just puts it in front of Muhammad Ali and gets him to sign it over for the fight in Zaire that's going to make him a lot more money that it ends up making Muhammad Ali. When you hear that Floyd Mayweather is going after showtime

38:08and because money in these contracts doesn't end up going straight to him even though he thinks that it does, 1.2 billion dollars still represents more than Tom Brady is going to be making from all of his ventures, even with a $375 million contract for the last 10 years. Like 1.2 billion dollars as an athlete is such a staggering amount of money to blow that I'm going to guess that you're not going to find a whole lot of athletes ever who have made that kind of money. Well, that was just career earnings based off of fights. That had nothing to do with endorsements. So when you look at endorsements and things like that you add Cristiano Ronaldo, you add some of these tennis players but like one Soto right now signed a $700 million contract. Shohei Otoni, $700 million contracts. Those are sort of the largest that you would find just in terms of the on field product but when you add endorsements Otoni's right up there near the top as well.

39:10Also only making $2 million for the salary right now. And he could be super fiscally responsible and just see a huge pile of $100 million lying around and say, well, this is pretty easy. Tyson almost died the last time he tried doing this against a YouTuber. I think I can hold my own there for a little bit and I'm too threatened against Mani Pacquiao. It's not like his life is in danger taking to the ring here. It's one of the most defensive fighters of all time going against guys that will pass their prime for an easy few mil. I get it. He could he probably looking at this and like this makes the most sense. Right. He also spent heavily on luxury goods including a $402 million $60 building acquisition in New York on top of just carrying around 80,000 and Louis V backpacks in which he was caught spending $500,000 in Louis V in one sitting. Back to you, Dan O. The real estate ventures, I've heard him brag about the real estate ventures.

40:10You mentioned $400 million. It's supposed to be an investment. That's not supposed to be money lost. That's supposed to be something that accrues. That's a place to put your money so that you continue to make money with your money. It is, I'm not kidding you. When I say it's really hard to blow 1.2 billion dollars and when you get to 49 and have to do this, what do you imagine 60 is going to look like for Floyd if he cannot get his spending in order because he's got used to a lifestyle that's a sign. I don't know if it is that hard to spend as much money as he's spent given all of the handlers that always take percentages of entertainers, gross figures. You've got publicists, you've got managers, you've got promoters. They all want a percentage and then you have a fiscally irresponsible life and all of a sudden you're broke. So I think it's all of the people that suck at the teet of an entertainer and athlete, et cetera, that makes it really easy to blow through that plus taxes.

41:13That's a, and who knows what his tax situation is? That's an excellent point by Trissa where the internet gathers, he's generated 1.3 billion dollars. He's probably looking at taxes, handlers, managers, fight promotion fees, saying I've actually cleared like 450,000 of 450 million, which is a lot more plausible for him to actually spend. There are 11 athletes according to Sportico that have ever made over a billion dollars and this is including endorsements, but the bottom two on that list are Phil Mikkels and Floyd Medweather. Now Phil Mikkelsen as well, someone notoriously not exactly great with his money. But in those instances, what's been reported is that he was also gambling enormous amounts of money, which is different. When you guys are saying it's easy to spend 1.2 billion dollars, I'm again going to tell you that it's not quite as easy. You, we are talking about the most fiscally irresponsible athlete

42:16there has ever been, ever if he can blow this amount of money. There's, there's never been anything close to this kind of fiscal irresponsibility in the history of sports because I'm guessing all of the other people you're going to mention there, Jeremy, aren't having any issues. They may have tax problems. They don't have to come out of retirement at 49 for another big payday because they've gone through all of that money. I think Mikkelsen did. It could be a coincidence, but Floyd Medweather is smack in the middle of Neymor and Phil Mikkelsen. Those three guys gamble a lot. They, they wager a ton. Neymor is, there's a famous internet video of Neymor on a, on a poker app while his daughter's being sung a happy birthday. You can't do us have to pay tax and lose it gambling. You can't do us have to pay tax and lose it gambling. You can't do us have to pay tax and lose it gambling. You can't do us have to pay tax and lose it gambling. You can't do us have to pay tax and lose it gambling. You can't do us have to pay tax and lose it gambling. You can't do us have to pay tax and lose it gambling.
