Vanderbilt football, Daejon Love

0:00Imagine if this stability piece and the innovation piece were each other's missing piece. First Citizens Bank and Silicon Valley Bank are combining financial security and innovation expertise to create a full suite of solutions for all your business needs. With the scale to back every state of growth, from pre-C to IPO and beyond, you have everything you need to make your big ideas click into place. First Citizens Bank and Silicon Valley Bank. It's the best of bank worlds! It's cracking! Starting out on number three. I'm Jim Rome. Man what a world. Caleb Williams is gotta be sitting back like the hell is even going on. What's happening? I got hurt. I left the game. I was scared. What's going on there? I got emotional. And now this is way more traumatic what's happening right now than what happened in that game. And I thought that was pretty traumatic.

1:00I thought that I suffered an injury that was going to end my entire season and I was absolutely devastated and met. Yes, it was traumatic. It was traumatic. But what has happened since on the internet and on social is way more traumatic. Why is the entire world coming for me? This guy's gotta be like the hell is even going on? Like I said, noise, noise. And I'm not saying it would be easy to deal with. It certainly would not be easy if the whole world were laughing at you and your misfortune and especially if you suffered an injury and you were in a great deal of pain and in a vulnerable moment. But this guy's gotta be like I can't process this. I do not know what's happening. Well, man, if I were you, I would go dark. I would not be looking at your phone. I would not be searching this out. You can't prevent it. You sure as hell can't control it.

2:02There's nothing good happening in your phone, my guy. I would not be looking in that phone. And again, you cannot control it. And if you try to push back and you try to repost some positive things, it's only going to make it worse. I would not be looking at that phone, but I would imagine that dude's gotta be like, okay, so now I have to do with the injury and I've got to do everything in my power to come back as quickly as I can. They're counting on me. It's a really important year. But now I'm fighting this whole other fight over here. But that fight you can't win. You can't control that. All you can control is doing the best you can every single day to get back as quickly as you possibly can. Oh man, you can't fight the whole internet. You will not win. You will not win. You will win a Super Bowl long before you beat the internet. Believe that. I'm going to add that to list of undefeated. Frankly, sex, father time, the internet.

3:03You will not beat the internet. The bear is well win a Super Bowl before anybody beats the internet. We'll fight that fight. Jetlag also on that list for Janos. Janos, so Janos, Janos my wife, Janet, Janet went to the robot and had the robot create an entire plan for her for dealing with jetlag hour by hour. She has a plan, a protocol and the robot told her, okay, if you're starting in Spain, and you're coming back to California and you're leaving at this hour, this is your procedure. This is your protocol. This is your regimen. This is what you need to do to beat jetlag. And then she found out the airline had already pushed her flight back. So jetlag also undefeated. Don't believe me as Sean McVeigh. As the Rams.

4:06Armand Armadillo is in quote, when I get hurt, I take a week off. I take it off. Sincerely Caleb Nicholas. Armand, I don't even know you anymore, dude. Is it Armand? Is it chat or is it that you're back in America? Because you're not the same dude. All right, as promised, we're joined right now by the head football coach, Ed Vanderbilt. He is in his sixth season at his alma mater. The Commodore is went 10 and three last year. They were six into an SEC play. They played in the Reliah Quest Bowl. He was the SEC coach of the year in both 2024 and 2025. Vanderbilt beat NC State in a thriller. 3531 on Saturday. They're three and a half. They take an Auburn on Saturday this Saturday. We're joined right now by Clark Lee Clark. I know you worked hard to make this happen. Always good to see you. Clark, how you doing? I'm great, Jim. Great to be with you. I'm happy to be on the show.

5:07I appreciate you making time. I know you went out. You would make that happen and it's great to have you back. Let's not understand that you've already turned the page. All your focus is on your SEC opener against Auburn. But the way your team won that game in Nashville is going to be talked about forever. So before we talk about the game's final sequence, Clark can ask you this. How emotionally draining was that afternoon? Senior team Rally from two different 17 point deficits. Yeah, I mean, it was a roller coaster to say the least. The other thing to add to that, it was the hottest game in program history. So I think the turf was like over 160 degrees and it's like playing on a skillet. But I look really proud of the team. I think this game gets attention because of how we wanted. Obviously, there's a lot about the game that we need to move on from and forget. We didn't play very good football and that's why we found ourselves in the position at the end, Jim. But ultimately, to become a program that finds a way to win, I think that's a statement to the evolution that we've had here at Vanderbilt.

6:10And what I will say is that the fighting spirit, the grid, those are the things that you're proud of that showed up for us on Saturday. If we can channel that through good football performance and we can be a good team, if we don't, we're going to find out here pretty quickly in the SEC that we're not going to be able to win games the way we wanted on Saturday. Farron L.P., you found a way to get it done and the field was about 158 degrees. Clark Lee joining us. So Clark, I mean, it's just to go back to it. And see, stayed did lead 31 to 28. There were six seconds left. I know you've gone over this. But can you do it one more time? Can you take us through the final play and share what you were thinking as you watched this unfold? Well, obviously, the immediacy of the interception we threw, I thought we were going to win it in a traditional manner. And so, in fact, I was certain of it. You know, you just have that confidence in the way we were moving the ball and good play by their defense. And so the immediacy of that is like any human being, you're just, it's a gut punch. And pretty quickly, we realized, hey, this ball is going to be spotted at like the one

7:11or the two. There's enough time. We have two time outs. It becomes just how we're going to organize defensively to make sure we get one more shot. And so that was the whole conversation on the sideline. They were running some stuff offensively that, you know, the way they were able to run the quarterback. It wasn't a traditional sneak. It was more of like a mushy push through the middle that was draining clock. So we were coaching in the moment to get around the edges and try to get the legs of the quarterback. That left us with six seconds left, at which point we called probably for the first time in football history, a field goal block and the minus four or whatever. And we coached the edge guys just to get as high as possible as fast as possible so that he wasn't able to get to the back. And so that was the sideline. I think that pressure forced him into a situation where he had to go where he didn't want to go, which was kind of up into the middle. And, and, you know, fortunately, we had a freshman that was wrapping him up, Mason Lewis.

8:12We had a veteran six year player, Miles Capers, who's been with me the entire time I've been here that stripped the ball out and then Kaden Daniels recovered it and the rest of his history. But I will say again, I think at the time there was like the win probability was that it was 99.9% NC State. And I'm glad the 0.1% was on my sideline because those guys believe they kept fighting and and as it turns out, good things happen when you do that. If not higher than 99.9%, Clark, thank you so much for doing that one more time and breaking that down. I appreciate you so much for doing that. I'm so amazed. I think you make such a great point that you thought you were going to go in and win traditionally. It could have been the most, the ultimate kick in the gut, like punching the gut. And yet this is how well coached up your guys were. They were sharp. They quickly forgot about that. They did what they were told to do and it worked out. It was so unbelievable. There's so much attention focused on NC State and how do you lose that game? How did you guys win that game? I'm looking at that. That was amazing. One last thought about that is I've done this a long time.

9:14I can't think of a comp. You've been in this game a long time. Has there ever ever seen anything more surreal than that moment since you've been in this? You know, I haven't. Obviously, I forget what the in the last 20 years, I think teams that had the ball with 10 seconds or less remaining, it's something like a thousand and 47 and one. And there was the pump lock Michigan, Michigan State from a few years ago. But obviously, you know, the idea that it wasn't a pump formation. I mean, they were just taking a safety and the probability is all stacked against us. But again, I think a testament to what happens with like you say, when you reset refocus, we say in our program, head body, head body, that's being the present. And do what we can do to win and the guys believed and they found a way. And that's a great lesson for us to continue apply because we got a lot of great challenging games ahead of us. And try not to go here to me and times with your Clark, but what does that mean? Head body, head body. Yeah, it comes from the movie The Fighter.

10:16And it's just something. Honestly, it was something I kind of pulled. This was back when I was at Wake Forest. So this was 2016. It might have even gone back to my Syracuse days. But sometimes like when you're on the sideline, you know, so I'd be coaching linebackers and you're sitting there with your group on the sideline and they're responding to what they're seeing on the field offensively. And so, you know, there were times where we were playing and our offense wasn't moving the ball. And so, you know, in those moments, the guys would become fans and you want to give them something to center them to focus them and to really get them to turn their attention to the control they have, not the control they don't have. We can't perform like fans on the sideline and be great competitors. And so, in the movie, you know, in one of the, in probable boxing comebacks, you know, the fighter goes to the corner and his brother who's also the coach is telling him head body, head body. And what he's saying to him is don't deviate from the plan.

11:16And though it's not going the way that we thought it was going to go, it still comes back to combination punches and again, staying committed to the game plan and body shots accumulate. So, you can't knock your competitor out in one punch. And we use that mantra is just something that we say to one another and to ourselves to make sure we're present, you know, performance only exists in the present. And we have a situation where our brains like to take us and forecast in the future or hang on to the past and that only inhibits our ability to be what the team needs for us to be in the moment. So, that's just mantra we use. It's something again, I've used for a long time, but it's become sacred in our program here. And, you know, Saturday was an example of that, too. Well, I can see that would be sacred head body, head body, preach. I love it. Clark Lee joining us. Clark, really quickly, when you and I spoke in July, we talked about the process of who your quarterback might be. And you said whenever Richard freshman, Jared Curtis is ready and gets his opportunity,

12:16he's got the tools. He's going to make an impact. What stood out to you most about his starting debut Saturday in a three touchdown game that earned him SEC freshman honor of the week? Well, there was a undauntedness to it. It was amazing to see him step in. There's some really big moments you mentioned earlier. There were two times we were down 17 points and there was nothing that we were doing defensively to support the offense. We weren't bridging the gap between the phases with strong special teams plays. It was really, the game was a debacle and a lot of ways for us. And yet, this kid, Jared Curtis, stepped into the moment. He operated within the system. He found ways to create in ways that only he can do. And he got us back in that game. And we synced up just enough in the second half to plot our course to be within striking distance at the end. Intermixed in there are some freshman moments, which are going to happen. But it was a courageous performance. And again, when he's in that competitive moment, his eyes are bright.

13:21And his jaw is set. And it's amazing to be such a young player, to be able to handle the big moments as well as he does. I hope that the growth becomes kind of the smaller moments and making the available play and just continuing to learn and grow. But what I know is we got a guy that no matter what the odds are, we'll step in and give us a chance to win. Another great one. His eyes are bright. His jaw is set. Before I let you go back to work, Clark, let me ask you about your next one because you are headed to Auburn to kick off SEC play on Saturday. What have you seen from the tape that you've been watching of Alex Kolysch's team who just dropped a wild one to Florida Saturday, 44-39? Yeah, well, he's a really bright offensive mind. And the system is interesting. We'll face this system a few times, but I think to give Alex credit, he's not just a system coach. I mean, he's clearly got his fingerprints on the design. There's a lot of familiarity on the offensive side with players that he brought from South Florida. So, all the explosive ability is there for them.

14:24We have to make, keep the ball inside in front of us. We've given up a lot of explosive touchdowns defensively. That's going to be a recipe for disaster on Saturday. So, no explosive touchdowns will be critical for us. Offensively, they're in elite defensive unit, the decordinator DJ Durkin's been there for a few years. So, we've battled with him. I think this is about establishing a run game. And against Incy State, a lot of sloppy holds and penalties that set us into first and 20 and second and 15. That's not going to be the way we need to play to support our freshman quarterback and again, get a run game established. So, this is a really tough opponent. It's a really tough environment. This is one of those places in the SEC where you know exactly where you are when you're down there. We need to play a game, an identity game, and we need to play it on our terms. And we'll have to operate in noise. We'll have to play and handle the tempo that they're going to play with offensively.

15:24If we can do those things and then we can play to our identity, we have a chance to be in a game late and try to steal a win. If we don't, we'll be chasing the game down like we did against Incy State and against the team like Auburn, we're not going to be able to overcome that. Vanderbilt, 3-0, next up Auburn, their head coach, Clark Lee, no one better. Clark, I know you made a point. Get over here. I know you were in a meeting and doing some other stuff in your busy. So, I appreciate you very, very much, Clark. Great to have you on the show. Thanks so much. Hey, I'm always going to take advantage of a chance to sit with the gym. Thanks for having me and you be well. Yeah, you too, Clark. You make it better. You make everything better. I love talking to Clark Lee. So great. Amazing coach, an amazing coach. And again, he went to Vanderbilt. It's a very unique institution, very unique institution. One of the best schools, some of the brightest minds in the entire world go to school there. So to see what he has built at that program in that conference, while it's not surprising to me because I think he's a genius.

16:25It's incredible. And the success that he's had there, coach of the year in 24 and 25, one 10 games last year, six into an SEC play, three and a go into Auburn to play another jungle favorite now, it's go. And the SEC is just unbelievable right now. But that's I don't have, I don't play favorites, but Clark Lee is one of my all time favorites. And what a brilliant coach, brilliant coach, great leader, unbelievable leader. All right, your thoughts on that, take your reaction. And he did make it a point. That's why I was so fusive in thanking him. He left a meeting to make good on that interview. Not many guys do that. But Clark always does. Welcome, Alvi. To your most rewarding sees never only on Fandall, how rewarding, more rewarding than a touchdown with time expiring, more rewarding than an 18 point comeback, maybe even more rewarding than an old line men catching a touchdown.

You're listening to the gym room show. Imagine of having your cake and eating it too was about banking not baking Silicon Valley

18:31Bank and first citizens bank have created a recipe that blends decades of innovation economy experience with more than a century of stability. Now you don't have to choose between deep sector expertise and lasting financial security. Instead you can enjoy them both. Silicon Valley Bank and first citizens bank. It's the best of bank worlds. True story. So for the longest time you know me I work for the man. Work for big companies brick and mortar and then we took over the radio program. I own the radio show so I pay everybody here who works on the radio show I pay the rent. I have a small business. I needed help with that small business. Gusto is who we turn to every small business owner dreams of scoring a touchdown for me that touchdown was finding gusto the online payroll and benefit software built for small businesses. Gusto is all in one remote friendly and has every play covered. You can pay higher on board and support your team from anywhere with unlimited payroll

I mean this I we literally I don't know what I would do without gusto. I don't know how we would run this thing without gusto. They're that good. They do all those things. I love that company. All right. Let's go to the phones. Uh oh. Before I go to the phones. Can I remind you about the ATP? We have an ATP. I'm looking for ATP's. That's the pros. Get them to us. We go to men. A. V. In the fee. I don't know what's smoke this guy out. I don't know why this guy's calling me, but it must be a good reason. Let's find out. V. Yo dude. What's going on? You need to do my brother. I'm a little. My man. So good man. How about you? I was watching the two and I was saying, you know, we are both living. I'm a very happy man. So I got to jump in on this whole kale brilliant thing.

20:38I got to get my tooth sensitive because I know right now it's easy to pick the lungs down and beat them up. You know, this is not what's making the bears look soft. If guys like Adam Wrenn and they're dancing and they make the bears look soft, after Sunday's loss, the first thing they do is they start to cut. No. V. You don't like they cut. I don't like that cut. It's not a very good cut. I know we're two and OV. You know, you and me school nation. I need better sound quality. I can't allow that. You look, you're the last guy I want to run. And by the last guy I want to run. I mean, the first guy that I want to run. But at least give me a reason to listen to what you have to say. That was terrible sound quality. It's still a radio program. And the visual program, but an audio program. I want your call V, but I need to be able to hear your call V. All right. So let's go to another topic.

21:39My dude, Dejan love. Back in the headlines. In fact, more than once this week, actually, because on Monday, the FBI released that 35 more women have come forward claiming to be victims of his alleged fraud. That brings the total count of potential victims up to 61. And again, these are only 61 that we know of. I guarantee there are more that are too embarrassed to come forward. These are the 61 that have come forward. You know there are more, but it's still impossible for me to wrap my head around this number. How do 61 people get hooked by the least convincing con man ever? Well, we actually got some help answering that question this week via FBI special agent in charge. Doug Olson, he noted quote that his scam managed to trick various AI tools and search results

22:41into hallucinating that he was actually an NFL player. And it was not the first thing that came up. It was like there were multiple things in there that would confirm whatever he was telling those folks end of quote, wow. All along, I'm thinking man, these people are not bright. They're just not bright. How do you not even search? They did. And this dude was one step ahead because generally the con people are one step ahead of the people trying to run them down. And so they get run down. So essentially a bunch of victims did try to search this dude out. And essentially he had flooded the internet with so much bull crap over a period of years that he managed to do the AI. The AI is really who got scammed here. Well, all the women too, of course, but the robots who the women consulted with holy crap.

23:41Many of these victims searched him out and the AI in search told them real player. Incredible. Yep. That is a nine or yep. He's been posting us a nine or four years. Yep. Yep. Yep. Look at these posts. Look at these pictures. Look at these videos. Yep. legit. It's like everybody in this equation is Steve Balmer. The AI is like, oh no, they're gone. They come me. They caught the robots are like they can't be. They come me. These women are saying no, we were the ones who got conned. You're one of the rich. They're all got conned for real. They took my money. The robots didn't lose any money. Robots are like, yeah, but we have a reputation. We're robots. Let's get conned. We're trying to be credible here. Now of course, you can't fake 49ers.com.

24:42If you go to 49ers.com, the official roster is literally one click away. The guy can't trick the roster. You can't trick that. Obviously his name and likeness never appeared anywhere near that roster page on 49ers.com. But apparently these gals did not go there. They went to the robot because now we're conditioned to go to the robots. We're conditioned to go to AI. But still it was possible to try to search for this guy and do some background checking and still get duped. Clearly it was possible because 61 people got duped. And I bet every last one of them went to AI and AI said, yep, legit. Yep. Great player. But there's also a new Niners angle in all of this and it comes from an ESPN report that one of the victims submitted a complaint about Dejan directly to the Niners back in December. One of the victims reportedly filled out a form on the Niners website, letting them

25:46know that there is this weirdo running around impersonating a nine or and scamming people out of their money. And that happened apparently eight months before he was arrested. So a couple of issues with that. Number one, people are pointing out that the Niners could have reported the guy, but didn't. So it's on them. Number two though, the Niners have claimed they had no knowledge of Dejan before the FBI can contact them in August when he was arrested. So essentially the internet thinks that the Niners are caught in a giant lie that they know about it and they did nothing about it. That they're lying when they said we didn't know because they must have known because somebody went to their website. So another, another giant lie by the Niners like yo Niners anytime you all want to stop lying about any and everything feel free like if, if if you're lying about Kyle's accident,

26:56if, if, if you're lying about Dejan, what else are you lying about? We only just found out that the owner lives in Ohio now when he got busted trying to procure a hooker in Ohio. So what else are you not telling us? What else are you allegedly lying about? That's substation. Is that a lie to allegedly? All that said, like whenever somebody lies, you want to know what else they lying about. If they're lying, that said, I am not with the tin foilers on this one. Personally, I think that's a ridiculous reaction. Somebody filled out a form on the Niners website in December and, and you know, much random kooky stuff must get sent to the Niners every single day. Someone tells me some random complaint about some weirdo through some form on the website

28:03didn't make it very high up the Frisco chain of command. Somehow I don't think the Jed pork was ever on the phone reading that complaint to John Lynch and Kyle Jr. lobster after it got submitted or even to any of his security personnel or legal department or human resources and said, take care of that, please. Take care of that. So no, I don't think that the Niners were lying about the actual people that actually matter knowing but not doing anything about it. I don't think they withheld information from law enforcement about this cook. Why that make no sense. If they knew about this cook, why would they cover for this cook? I mean, it's not like the 49ers issued that helmet that he brought with him everywhere. It's not like the Niners were sending that cook officially licensed team gear to help

29:04support his roots and scam. It's not like the Niners helped this guy flood the internet with so much bull crap that it ended up confusing the hell out of the robots. It's not like the Niners found some random stoner on a street corner until Desjohn, he'd be a great financial advisor to use as part of your scam. We recommend you do that. This is a really good scam you're running, Cook. I've always maintained that I have the best job in the world. I do. I have the best job in the world or I thought that I did. I don't think that anymore. I think Desjohn does or did. Like this dude out, he probably was getting more sex than he could possibly handle with all sorts of strange and different partners who were paying him for it. No less. All the sex he could handle probably had to turn it down at some point and they were throwing money at him.

30:04Have sex with me. How my money? And what did he do to get all that sex and money? All he did was buy a Niners helmet and take it with him wherever he went and then make a few vids while wearing the helmet, post those vids in order to trick the robots online and chip off some stoner, a dime bag for his time. Best gig ever. Good work if you can get it. Dude probably convinced himself he was Jerry Rice. He was living the life of Jerry Rice. He probably convinced himself he was Jerry Rice without ever having to run that crazy hill that Jerry used to run and destroy his teammates on during workouts. Not Desjohn. He didn't do jack except throw on the bonnet, bonnet, run a few routes on the beach, drag a sled, a few feet, squat in some lame looking house, call it a mansion and then throw that

31:08up online too. Like this dude, he committed the crime and he will do the time but this is one thing the Niners did not try to cover up. This is one thing they did not lie about for who for what. I could see why they wouldn't want anybody to know that their head coach could have quote died in a collision going 20 miles per hour and didn't say anything to anybody about it publicly until they absolutely had to. I could see why they did that but why would they lie to cover for this bag they wouldn't also lessen learned further evidence you cannot trust the robots. They're not always right. In fact they're often wrong but at least they haven't tried to kill us all yet. So that question about, man how dumb are these women?

32:10What a simple Google search would have told them no it wouldn't this guy jerked with the Algo this guy jerked with the robots this guy flooded enough material false material and lies on the internet that he tricked the Algo he tricked the robots. They got the answer they were hoping for it. He's good. He's an honor. Next time go to the official roster on the official website. The thing is we know as sports fans those are the worst routes ever run by anybody ever even on the high school level but women that might be lonely they feel like they're getting the attention of a professional athlete. They see that route on the sand they don't know they don't know a route tree they don't know a good route from a bad route.

33:10They don't know that real NFL players do not bring their helmets everywhere they go. They don't know that that guy never takes that helmet off. They think that's just what football players do. They're like damn he's strong we're going to pull that sled. Look at that and look at that house look where he is. Anyway there's your update the FBI says he actually fooled them because he fooled the robots and they took the robots word for it. Don't believe everything the robots say. I see one of come forward I guarantee there's over a hundred I know it I know it I know it I know there's something that are too embarrassed too humiliated they do not want to come forward I guarantee it and they're asking for anybody else is there anybody else I guarantee there

34:10are more. All right there's that that that story won't die. When we come back how about some ATPs. That's the pros then Bryant McKinney is going to be my podcast guest. He won a natty at the you. He won a Super Bowl a really nice NFL career. Not many guys can say that that is the Jim Rome podcast that drops every single Wednesday and we will push that out a little bit later on today. Stay tuned. You're listening to the Jim Rome show. It is time to answer your asked the pros question where you get to submit a question at Jim Rome using the hashtag ask the pros on X sponsored by O'Reilly Auto parts. The car. Your car care needs get the parts of service you need fast from the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto parts at Ed gone crazy Jim before this week have you ever heard or utter the term piss missile asking for a friend signed Ed in SA.

35:18I'm not sure if you're going to get a friend at the right ATP. My response is honestly yes and no absolute piss missile up the sideline savers yes I knew the phrase no I've never used it. But I will now. I don't know I mean yes I've heard it but I just didn't never really landed the way it did. Until I heard Tom Brady do it and not just piss missile but absolute piss missile. It was. You know what the irony is that he really hasn't. Imagine of having your cake and eating it too was about banking not baking.

36:45I'm going to have a million per year. And then instead of starting right away he took a year off presumably to get ready to be that guy and then he starts showing up and he's he's okay. He's just okay. He's mid. But he's certainly not the best. And it's to me it's hilarious that his best week ever was the week where he dropped an S bomb and a piss missile. I got him more notoriety and more attention and got to go viral like for the first time. I look ready. Oh, oh, oh, no. Was not expected. Oh, excuse me. I just said shh on national television. Him saying excuse me after dropping an S bomb always reminds me of Logan Rome doing something that he shouldn't do and me jumping his ass and him saying my bad. My bad. My bad.

37:45My bad. Oh, my bro. Stop saying my bad every time you do something that you shouldn't do. It doesn't mean that it's okay or that you didn't do it. My bad. My bad. You're not even owning it. You're just basically you're acknowledging it. There's a big difference between owning it and acknowledging it. Knowing it means I know what I did. I will never do it again. I know it's like get off my back. My bad. It's like Tom Brady said. Oh, no, no. Shhh. My network TV. My bad. He put the worst worst part about that is that was probably his best broadcast week ever because of those two things. Rome. My bad. I called it wrong. Rome, you have to get the new Apple Watch Ultra 4. It has better battery life and health features. Signed Apple call member. Does that mean let me go Rex Lee for a minute. That question. Is that a question? Yeah.

38:46Yeah. Yeah. It sounds like no, no, no, no, no, no. Well, it sounds more like statement. Is that a question will? He will. He will. Did you not hear what I had to say yesterday about my last Apple experience? Yeah. I was rushed back in there to get a watch. Was that a question? Yeah. Is that a question? Well, no, no, no, no, no, well. No, no, no, no. You see this watch. No, no, no, no. Well, the thing is, you know, I think I'm going to record with this. I don't use the watch for anything other than a watch. I don't use the health features. I don't use it to text with. I just, I just use the watch. See this watch. That's why I'm still on the to watch. Of course more than you watch. I don't use the brain thing other than a watch. I don't know. You see this watch. Yo, 10 man. This ATP is for the Humpty Legend. Yo, 80, what's good? We know Rome roots for team content. Chalk is a Nick's Jets Metz fan and Alex is a Celtics Pat's Red Sox fan.

39:49What teams do you root for or are you just rooting for fantasy players and bets in picks? Thanks. Signed Fiskomario, war the Niners winning the Super Bowl. I think he's talking about you, Ali. The Humpty Legend. Who do you root for? Hey, Jim. Hey, Abby. He hit it right on the nose. Definitely all about fantasy football. But as far as teams, I'm actually a big Notre Dame fan. I think we've gone over this before. No, Notre Dame. It's been a minute. Remind me. Yeah, huge, huge, uh, Ron Paul is believer. Ha, ha, ha. Yes, we have gone over this. I think it dates back all the way to a rocket is male. I turn on the TV and this guy's returning and kicking. I'm like, wow, that was pretty awesome. I wonder if you could do it again. I'm like, dude, why do they keep kicking to this guy? Do you remember that time you went to the CFL and he tried to exit in a hamper? And then he tried to, yeah, kick somebody's head in with the bottom of his heel. But anyway, yeah, I would go with Notre Dame. I grew up in LA. So definitely a Laker fan.

40:50But yeah, it's mostly about fans. All right, good. I like it. Mostly about your team. I used to have put rocket ish male on talk too on ESPN to a great charisma, great charisma. And he would come on. He was always fun. Coddry. Coddry was also fun. Not as fun as rocket. And especially if you mispronounced his name, Coddry want to make sure that you knew it was not quadrry. Coddry. But they're both fun. Both good players. Thanks for the run. Policy set, Alvi. Pimp. I think we all want to know is the chat. Or red headed stepchild, you love to hate or hate to love.
