The official bar sports social deduction game from the brilliant mind of Nick Terini. In what's quickly becoming the most popular new party game around players are secretly assigned unique rules with the good guys trying to expose the bad guys and the bad guys doing everything they can to stay hidden. Each game unfolds under alternating day and night phases with roles like the cool chick, the shy guy, the gambler, Elle Presidente, the mentalist, the planer, the funny guy and more. Every round is unpredictable, chaotic and ridiculously fun.
Who's the bad guy is great for parties, pre-games, family gatherings or groups who just love deception based games. Game night will never be the same. Shop now on walmart.com On today's part of my take, we have Bears head coach Matt, Eberfuse and Bears GM Ryan Polls. The earliest interview this podcast has ever done.
So if we screwed anything up, that's because we were up so, so early trying to get our brains fired. Put a very good interview with them talking about their football philosophy, talking about the first pick in the draft, Justin Fields, Mattie Eberfuse being a cat guy. A lot of good stuff that we covered and we're also going to recap pretty crazy. You know, a lot of sports this weekend, college basketball, UFC, NBA, John Moran's.
Not so good. A lot of sports stories that came out in the last three days update from Kombai. We finally got Bryce Young's height and weight. So a lot to get to.

And boys, I don't even know where we want to start. Spin the roulette wheel. XFL. XFL.
It's still going on. It's going strong. This is my problem. Yeah, XFL kind of got lost in the sauce this weekend.
DC defenders, three and oh, they had a big cup snake. They actually listened to the people and allowed the cup snake to happen this weekend. Besides that, don't really care. Okay, so that's our XFL recap.
I drank a lot of beer. Yeah, I don't know what where we do. I mean, conference championship week is imminent. We're starting.
We've already started some. There's some bids that have already been taking place. Five bids. Five bids that have taken place.
Saturday was another great day in college basketball. And I guess what we really should start with is Max being the biggest jinx in the world. So PFT you also had UCLA max heavy use for jailing. All right, not out yet.
The MRI is not out yet. What happened? Jalen Clark for UCLA, their best defender. Towards Achilles.
I'm just going to say there's too many jailons. Yeah, too many jailons. I can't keep track of all the jailons at this point. It looks like a torn Achilles.
If anyone watched the. No, yeah, no, I told Max afterwards because he got us all invested in UCLA. We're going to be the Bruins. We're going to get excited.
I met Cronin. Great, you know, they're whooping Arizona. Everything feels great. Blue blood.
Blue blood. Number one seat. They're probably still going to get a number one seat. Bill Walton talking.
I think the 1973 team is getting honored. And PFT, I was so mad at Max and so mad about everything that I went and I found like alternate fan angles of his torn Achilles. And so I've seen at least three different angles, including the TV copy. It is a torn Achilles.
Now, isn't it possible though that if any coach kind of relishes this opportunity where nobody believes in you, it's Mick Cronin. Yeah. Was UCLA too highly touted going into this tournament for Mick Cronin and his underdog mentality to truly shine? Listen, they're still a very good team, but that was their ceiling because that was, you know, he is their best defender.
He was a very good player. He he can change a lot of games with how he defends. And now your rotation gets shorter. Yeah.
And what's the old saying? Uh, fuck, what was it? What was it? No, that's not good.
It's not the same. That's not the same. I like it, Jake. We're going next man up.
More team. Let's be honest. More team should do next man up. No, it's play eight trust seven.
Now UCLA is going to be play seven trust six. A lot harder to do. That's a lot of math. Well, that's a basketball play eight trust seven.
When you're in like, you know, March Madness, when you're in the NBA finals playoffs, play eight trust seven. Yeah, it's a good way to go about life. I there's still probably going to be tight as I was telling us earlier that they're probably going to be one seat. They will.
They will. So they'll be protected a little bit. This is it's not good. We I'd rather not be in this position that I am right now, but I still got my boilermakers.
Yeah. Well, down, baby. Good thing. No one from Tennessee got injured this week.
I know, Jake. I'm trying to use one of my head. Good thing that no one from Tennessee got injured this week. No short king from Tennessee got hurt.
I like that dude. I was going to say, hey, I was going to say spin zone. You know, maybe if you're trying to find one, just picture this in a couple weeks. Cold open before one shining moment.
It's the injury Achilles. Oh, start of the DVD music starts tip off and now. Okay, because I can picture it Saturday of the opening weekend. UCLA loses the one eight matchup.
And Max is sitting off the stream and I'm just screaming at him the whole time. And like, look what you did. You fucking idiot. And he's just like, I shouldn't have gotten my hair cut him a bad guy.
I might jump in the boat for Nova too. Am I putting a future on Nova? I might put a future on Nova to win the NIT. Yeah, that actually is good.
Yeah, let's do it. Although those seems usually don't try hard in the NIT. I don't even know if I'll make the NIT. Max is the definition of down bad right now.
It's been a bad three weeks for old Max. Yes, but he has paid. He has paid and he's paid up the Super Bowl bet. And yeah, we had a great Saturday, great Sunday at college hoops for gearing up.
This is one of my favorite weeks of the year. Like, wall to wall last. Something about senior night. Senior night really gets it going.
You know, everyone gets the same framed picture of their jersey, their family standing behind them. And it's always funny in college basketball because like, if you have your family out for an MVP warden in the NBA or the NFL, like you've got money. So everyone's dressed really nice in senior night. It's like your parents are just looking like your parents.
They've always looked like your parents. I love the giant ribbons that they wear sometimes. That's only a ribbon that you would wear on an occasion where you're walking on to a hardwood floor. We should also talk about maybe the most important college basketball news of the weekend.
Which is we haven't touched yet. This is from LeBron James. Yeah. Just woke up from having a dream.
Yes. That MJ and I was shooting the SH asterix plus sign. I think he meant shit back and forth at the men's national championship game between North Carolina slash Duke great vibes and epic classic game. It was a tie game 94 to 94 with five seconds left.
You and see with the ball my ass would wake up to see the bathroom right before seeing the ending of the game. Palm emoji, Palm face happens all the time never got to the end. Anyways, felt real as hell. Well, good morning everyone smiley face.
So I got to figure out let's just figure out what happened at the end of that game. It's also good to know that that's another way of settling the coach. Yeah. Because LeBron James is literally dreaming about hanging out with Michael Jordan.
Yeah. I think Michael Jordan saying dream about hanging out with LeBron James. Absolutely. Absolutely not.
Probably dream about drinking tequila. I think I think UNC won this game. 97 94. Yeah, they had the ball.
Yeah, UNC had the ball. It was a tie game 94 94 five seconds left. Incredible last second shot by who are you going to say made the shot? Antoine Jameson.
Antoine Jameson with with Eric Montross on the assist. Yes. Yes. Teller Hansborough.
He was he was the coach. Yeah, UNC. And then received while I smoked LeBron James out after the game. Yes.
One casual take I had watching the two Q and C game. Oh, yeah, that did happen as well. Was no that that rivalry is dead. Dead.
Over. Coach K killed it. Bring me to my next point. I don't even really.
Some of my Duke fan is falling over the years. But I was watching that game. Carolina seems like they're not going to make the tournament. They just seem like a team from a casual point of view that somehow wins the ACC tournament and gets in.
Oh, okay. They have experience. They've been on a run before. They just got to get hot for the right time.
They're not hot right now. Very bad this year against code teams. But somehow these teams get in. Right.
That's kind of what happened with you. You went to like a different extent. Obviously last year. Those are my keeping out.
But UNC actually won games in the regular season last year down the stretch. They won at Duke. The last game coach came over coach. They haven't been anybody.
They've been UVA. Yeah, their first quad one win was UVA, I believe. Yeah. And their only quad one win.
Just something I'm looking at. Okay. Okay. Okay.
I think what you're going with your Hank is that you like the uniforms. And when you see those uniforms in March, you're like, that uniform usually wins this time of year. It is. It is true.
They have all the love came back. I watched them rip my heart out last year. I don't know what they got. They're probably going to like roll his ankles 17 times, but still put up a double double.
These things happen. They should get hot. Yeah. Okay.
It's true. Oh, hey, hey, it's a good point. If you and see get hot, they have the players. It's UNC.
Right. That's on them, not me. Yeah. They're UNC.
Okay. That's not, yeah. Not bad thought. Yeah.
Duke did win that game. And it is. It's just the fact that it's not played in the 80s anymore. It's depressing to me.
It's sad. It's just sad having Coach K not around. It's a major be careful what you wish for a situation where. Yeah.
It was we needed Coach K around. I miss him. College basketball needs a villain. He was a reason for me to wake up in the morning.
Yeah. And now I have no reason to wake up. Nothing. Nothing good in my life.
I just say him better all day. Yeah. Coping that he'll come out of retirement. It would be nice.
What if he just took the team back and was like, I'm going to coach him in the tournament? Yeah. Shire's not ready for the tournament yet. Yeah.
Must watch tournament. Yeah. It already is. Must watch tournament.
Yeah. Yeah. Why not? Because who knows who's good?
Uh, I'm just very, very excited. Kansas lost. What if Coach K came back, took Duke, and then won a national championship? That would kill me.
That would be very funny. That would kill me. I would be honest with you. I would root for Duke.
No, I would root for myself to bury him again. I would root for Duke in that tournament because just the content. Yeah. All right.
All right. So a lot of college basketball coming up. Uh, should we talk a little UFC? Yeah.
Jon Jones, the goat is back. On awesome card. Like, start to finish. I don't know if you guys caught the main event card, but the guy, Bo Nickel, who I think, went to Penn State, who was like a stud wrestler, just an insane wrestler.
He's going to be a freak. And then the guy from Kazakhstan, Rockmanov, he is the Terminator. That dude is crazy. He just beat the fuck out of Jeff Lewis's face.
And then was like, all right, I can't knock you out. You have a really good chin. Let me just choke you out. Literally put you to sleep standing up.
Yeah. He connected on like six or seven straight punches right to his jaw. Yeah. And the dude wasn't crumpling.
Yeah. Just like taking the abuse. And yeah, I mean, a solid choke from Stan. You very rarely see that.
And the woman's Chef Chinko and Grasso. Grasso. Grasso's a beast. She's like plus 600.
Grasso's a tiny little monster. They were saying on the broadcast that Chef Chinko, I think, had like only lost, like maybe like one or two rounds in the time that she had the bell. Yeah. Did you see the replay?
Joe Rogan pointed this afterwards. Yes. So Grasso, Choke, Chef Chinko out. And then when she released the choke, you can see the line on her face where the blood had pooled.
Yeah. And where there was absolutely no blood circulating. Yeah. And the bottom half of her face, there was a clear line there.
It looked like Paul Asinger's head in golf, where it was just completely white from like the lips down. I don't know what it says about me. But I have, you know, I'm maybe whatever one step above a UFC casual is because I do probably purchase, I don't know, 10 pay per views a year. So it's like not casual casual, but like, obviously it's not my, you know, main sport that I'm studying all the time.
But in my watching of UFC, I've grown to absolutely love submissions. Yeah. Like I know that a lot of people don't like the ground and pound and like the wrestling because a lot of times you just don't know what's going on and guys will lay on each other, trying to get an angle for like a whole five minute round. Something about a submission.
It's so primal. Just watching it. It's crazy. Watching some of the toughest people on planet Earth, be like, no, I can't do anymore.
Just get me out of the situation. And that was John Jones. It happened so fast. It's a real game.
Like all he had, it was basically the worst performance you could have because the only memorable highlight you had was kicking your opponent in the dick and then getting choked out within a minute and a half after that. Yeah, John Jones, when he came out there and he stepped in the ring, they made him cut his his foot wrap off for some reason. It was an illegal foot wrap and then he stepped in the ring. And I was like, is John Jones fat now?
Well, he was fighting. Yeah, he had to step up. But like he's definitely big in the midsection right now. Although we didn't have, because Joe Rogan will call guys out and be like, this guy looks soft.
He said that earlier. He said that earlier. Yeah. He's like, he looks soft.
Yeah, I'll be honest with you. He's soft right now. That's a brutal thing to have happen as you're stepping into the octagon. I think John Jones is the best UFC fighter of all time.
I think at this point, it's hard to say otherwise because he has that one loss on his record, but that was just for illegal elbows, right? When you're beating the fuck out of the guy. Yeah, no, he's the only person who could beat John Jones is John Jones. Yeah, or the drug test.
Well, yeah, he's demons. Yeah, so saying like he can't he had an interview like it was a while a long time ago where someone asked him like, do you think you can stay out of trouble? And he's like, I hope. Yeah, he was very honest about it.
He wasn't saying like, yeah, I'm going to I've changed. He's like, no, I just keeps happening to me and I know it's a problem. It's um, and don't get me wrong. He is the best UFC fighter of all time.
But we don't really talk that much about you say like demons. I think he's got five failed drug tests, not for like coke or anything. I think he's tested positive five times for doping for like PEDs. And can you imagine if another like the greatest of all time in any other sport had five positive steroids tests?
Yeah. We would probably be like, fuck that guy. We should not count these. But I think in UFC, you kind of take into account that a lot of the other guys are probably doping too.
Yeah, they just get away with it. So John Jones greatest fighter of all time, maybe worst steroid user of all time. And also, I mean, let's be honest, not the best guy because there's some things on his rap sheet that are very bad. Yeah.
So but he is, yeah, he came back two minutes over. Why can't he fight Francis and gone? Because he's not in the UFC anymore. Because they know why called off negotiations with Francis and gone.
So Francis and gone, you start negotiating. Yeah, no, it's it's it's very interesting, like, set up now that UFC has because if you were wanting to do tin foil hat, the UFC wanted John Jones to win last night because surreal game would have won the belt, even though he lost the Francis and gone. So it would have been like a Mickey Mouse belt guy who has the guy who won the belt in the octagon is not in the UFC. And someone else owns a belt.
Now, at least there's a distance between it where John Jones has it. They've never fought. I Dana said never. He said never on Friday, I believe.
I also saw a resurface clip where he said the same thing about it. Yes. Well, that's that's the best thing is like the like in the fight game. It's it's like the fight game and college football coaches.
If they say something, they can change their mind within a week. Yeah. The thing about Dana White saying never say never, but I'm saying never. Is that that's in a weird twisted way, almost better for promoting the eventual fight that would happen.
It's like what he said never and it's happening somehow. Like Dana White knows how to sell a fucking fight. Yes. And so he could just reverse course on that.
Who knows what the guy who was asking for. Well, he also remembers that a guy who wants to just get into boxing. Yes. So that was the big sticking point.
They were negotiating for a while. He was there was a price on him fighting John Jones and he was like eight million dollars. But he didn't his main sticking point was if I signed with UFC, I can't do anything outside the UFC. I want to put potentially box because if he was a good boxer, boxers get paid way more than eight million dollars.
If he was like going to fight Tyson Fury, right? I don't know how that would work. I don't know if they'd just let him fast forward and fight him. But there's a lot of money in boxing for the top level guys.
And so he was like, yeah, I don't want to do this because they won't let me like do other things. So I hope it happens. I think everyone wants it to happen. It did look like they were setting Stipe Me Ochicha for it.
Like they want to see the fight and then Stipe when they interview Stipe was like, you could tell he was like a little afraid to fight John Jones. He didn't seem super confident after the fight was over. He's a bad dude. He's a bad dude.
I would not personally, I'm going to say this right now. Never say never. I will never fight John Jones in the UFC. I won't say that.
I'll double. If Dana White wants to pay me 300 million dollars, I'll get choked up by him. Wait, wait, wait. He would just knock you the fuck.
He went for this. No, I would lay down. And be on my back. I take my back.
Yeah, like here's my back. I mean, it just showed me out. I'll tap. I wonder if I could just go in and just tap.
Immediately? Yeah. Just tap on my own arm. The strategy to beating John Jones is to lay down on the ground and hold that issue with an illegal shot.
And then he loses the fight on a technicality. Then you get the belt. What if you had to go longer than a minute and a half? No, no chance.
I would say that I would do anything, literally anything for 100 million dollars. And I think I would fight John Jones for 100 million dollars. I don't have to even run around. He'll just catch you.
Really? You think that you're saying absolutely because you think that you would stand a chance against him. OK. Can I ask a side question?
Yeah. Does Riff Raff want to fight you? I heard a rumor at Ruffin Rowdy on Friday night that Riff Raff wants to call out Billy. Look, I don't know.
OK. OK. Riff Raff also huge steroid user and has been boxing for the past three years. And that's like the only thing he does.
All right. So you're afraid of Riff Raff. All right. So Billy Duck, you're ducking Riff Raff.
I mean, I podcast six days a week. I'm not like have a professional trainer who trains me. Do you really use that? He makes bangers.
Anyway, but what I want to say is let's just put a bow on it. You were ducking Riff Raff. Whatever. Chael Sonn said that Francis and Ganyu were one of the reasons why they're not resigning him.
Yeah, she said this on a Robbie Fox's podcast, My Mom's Basement. He said that he wasn't a draw. Like the one that he headlined the UFC card he headlined only did like 30k. Francis and Ganyu?
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, this would be a draw. No, yeah.
But they're like, it's not worth paying for it because John Jones is the draw. Like, Ganyu isn't a big draw apparently. So I mean, that's pretty crazy. And also, John Jones put on 45 pounds for this fight to get up to the heavyweight level.
And he's been the reason he hasn't fought it because he wanted to get out of the USADA protocol and do what McGregor's doing right now and just juice up. Yeah. So I mean, that should be legal. Yeah.
Francis and Ganyu did tweet at John Jones after saying good job, Johnny Boyce, and certainly the heavyweight king. So if you're a tin foil hack guy, this is all working out perfectly for a mega-mega fight. Yeah. Actually, like, think about what Dana White said about Nagano.
It's teeing it up for a rematch and saying, yeah, Nagano's going to fight John Jones if he wins. That's not nearly as much buzz as if Dana White physically removes Nagano from the Black list. Right. It's like, OK, he can fight again.
That was a lengthy two weeks suspension I gave him. I hope he wins his lesson. Yes. Also, you see the Dreykis knockout against who was it?
Brunson? That was brutal. Yes. That was just scary.
It was a great, I mean, when UFC hits and it's just a great card and like, there's big names and everything, it's awesome to watch. What are you going to say? Jake, do you want to always say it? Yeah, I was going to say.
I was going to juke. Well, no, congrats Jake. Jill and all, he won his fight. So they're taping a roadhouse.
Roadhouse. Rody Make of Roadhouse, which is an abomination because Roadhouse is basically the perfect movie. So he got in the ring in between some fights and taped some scenes of him like winning and the ref pulled him off and then he kept on hitting him. Yeah.
You can read between the lines about what that scene is going to be. It didn't really make me want to see the movie. So I'm guessing that what happens is at the start of the fight or at the start of the movie, it's Dalton or whoever is playing Dalton and Roadhouse, Jake Jill and all. And he's a UFC fighter and he gets kicked out of UFC for being too violent.
Then he goes on to be a bouncer of a bar. In Florida. And then he works his way back into UFC and eventually kicks somebody's ass. I'm guessing I've never seen Roadhouse.
Oh my god. We're going to start doing man movie Fridays. Pain Don't Hurt. Roadhouse or Dalton philosophy major at NYU.
And one of the greatest lines of all time when the bad guys name I can't remember when he got right behind me goes, I used to fuck guys like you in prison. It's like, wait, what? Yeah. If you look, I'm back from that one.
Okay. Yeah. Somebody asked me on Twitter after the fight because I said that John Jones was an inspiration to cocaine users everywhere. Yeah.
Who would be your goats? Your your Mount Rushmore of cocaine athletes. Lauren Staylor. Lauren Staylor.
Yeah. Meridonna. Meridonna is on there. David Bowie.
Although he became a Nazi when he was deep in Coke. And he was one of those athletes. Yeah, I know. But he like in terms of just like great careers.
He was kind of an athlete. There's a way. Oh, he fucked Mick Jagger, right? Yeah, I did.
I read a story once that David Bowie for like two years of his life. All he ate was hot peppers and milk because that was all he could suck because he was so addicted to cocaine. And so they would just feed him milk like whole milk so that he was like a baby. The milk was to take away the sting of the hot peppers.
Yeah. And the milk was also just to keep him alive. Jesus, that's weird. I would put the entire 1980 was it was the 86 Mets.
Yeah, we'll be able to show up there. The entire 86 Mets are up there. Michael Irvin. Michael Irvin.
Rob Ford. You remember when you got back to throw that dime? Athlete. Total athlete.
No, I was going to say something. I'm not going to say it. OK. Yeah.
And I think you know what I was going to say. I have a pretty good idea. All right. So that was good by us.
That's growth by us. Yeah. All right. Let's take a break.
We'll do we got some more stuff to talk about. We got to talk about some some some combined stuff. And then we'll do who's back the week. This episode is brought to you by friends at Zipper Cruder.

We should probably talk about John Moran. Yeah, fun. Guys being dudes, all time guys being dudes moments there for John. Yeah, so he was on an Instagram live at the club.
I don't know where, I think he was at a game in LA. Denver. I'm just gonna say it was strip club flashing a gun. I'll just say, right, so outside of, you know, the seriousness of what's going on in John Moran's life, that was a pussy ass gun to flash.
So that thing was so small. I agree. I've got like, it was. We all agree, right?
I've got three major issues with the Instagram live. One was that his gun was like, it was half the size of a daringer. It was so small. You can't be flexing.
That's not cool. You can't flex a tiny gun like that. You got to have like a desert eagle. You have to have something sick that you're still off.
That's an issue. Yeah, it would be a big, like, was it worth it? If it was a huge, awesome gun. Get an Uzi.
I'm not a gun guy, but I said, okay, maybe you could talk. That was 100% not. It'd be cooler if he was like flexing a taser or a big knife or a living sicker. Or one of those gel shooters we had in the office.
Yeah, or a Nerf gun. Actually, somebody should do that. Yeah. That's like, that's not something that Giannis would do.
It was like, remake that video, except you get a sick Nerf gun. And everyone would be like, Giannis is the best. He's so funny. We love him.
So issue number one was the tiny little gun. There's a cute little guy. Issue number two is that he was streaming himself live. If you're a professional athlete, you should just never go live.
Anyway, there's no reason. You're live all the time for your job. It's called playing the sport. There's no need to go live.
Too much bad shit can happen when you go live. Issue number three is Paul Pierce. Yes. Issue number three was he had his shirt off, and nobody else had their shirt off at the strip club.
I don't know if Jaws confused about what happens at a strip club, but traditionally, you don't go to a strip club to take your shirt off. That's something that usually happens around you with others. Okay. Only counterpoint on that.
If I had a sick body and was as rich as Jama and had awesome chains, I spent a lot of money on, I'd probably take my shirt off a lot. I would not. I would just never wear a shirt. Yeah.
So just be sure it was all the time. Right. But it's definitely so he's taking two games away, I believe. To work on his posting live selfies of gun addiction.
He deleted his Instagram, deleted his Twitter. What did he do wrong? So it's been a long list of things. So it's funny because everyone, not funny, but there's been a lot of Jama Rant is surrounding himself with the wrong people talk.
And it's really just Jama Rant seems like he's the wrong person right now. He's losing it. He had an incident at the mall where I think his mom got in an argument with someone and then he showed up with his friends and pushed a mall security officer. He had an incident at his house where he allegedly punched a 17 year old in the face multiple times and then also allegedly came out with a gun in his waistband being like, not really putting his hand on it being like, you know.
But again, he might have also just been shirtless and that's why he's seen the gun. He was maybe not trying to display the gun. He had an incident where his former, I think, high school teammates of Apti Pack, one of his best friends, basically went on the court in the Pacers game and then afterwards the Pacers alleged that someone shined a laser that was attached to a gun in the Pacers bus. Like they basically have like a, like a, we're coming for you after this game.
And then this, so it's been, it's one of those things where there's a lot of like small incidents where he hasn't got any trouble. But if you're a fan of Jama Rant, if you're a fan of the Grizzlies, you're a fan of the NBA, it definitely is like something's got to change if you have to go down a bad path. If there's three headlines that come out about you in the span of maybe a month and a half, two months that all involve an incident with a gun, yeah, might be time to just maybe step away from the gun life for just a little bit. And it's sad because if you look at his contract, he stands to make $300 million at the end of the season.
All Jaw has to do is to just not get arrested for three months. That's it, three months and you get $300 million. Now, if I had as much money as Jama Rant has right now and I was his age, I'd probably fuck around a lot, might get into trouble. But he just, Jama Rant just needs to lock himself in a room.
You can even take the rest of the year off. Right. If your Jaw, I know that the Grizzlies probably would not appreciate that. But you have three months until you become a 300 millionaire.
That's grandkids, grandkids, grandkids. Yes. Grandkids money. Yes.
And it's, I brought up the line that a lot of people are using is like, he's surrounding himself around people. I think that's a lazy take. Like, Jaw, Rant is, I would imagine the alpha of his friend group. He is the guy who has all this talent, who has all these things to lose.
No one else around him has all these things. Like, he can dictate his surroundings. This is, we shouldn't be like, oh man, pick better friends. Like, Jaw, you have to pick better choices.
Yeah. And I don't want to sound preachy because I do love watching play basketball and he's very young. They're not, you know, he's not like 18, but he's got a lot of career left. Like, there's a lot of time for him to write whatever's going on right now and have it be a very small blip on his career of being like, oh yeah, remember that year that Jon Rant had like three gone incidents?
Yeah. That's crazy. He went to Hall of Fame and won a bunch of titles and MVPs and everything like that. It's very much on the table when I'm hoping happens.
But yeah, not good. So to answer your question, Billy, I don't know about what the state gun laws are in Colorado. That's where he was Denver, right? But I know, I know in Texas, a lot of bars have this sign up that say if like 51% of your revenue comes from alcohol, then you're not, it's a felony to carry a gun in that establishment.
So different states have different rules about like where you can bring guns. I don't know what the rules are in Denver. It might be against a lot of their might not be. I don't know.
I'm ignorant about that. But I do know that if I'm, I'll even take it back. If I'm Jon Rant, just don't go live on Instagram with your guns. Also, I'm very disappointed on the scene playing just something there looking into it, which would be a much bigger problem.
Yeah. Colorado, you don't need a permit to carry a handgun. Okay. Okay.
Oh, you definitely don't need a permit to carry whatever the fuck that piece you do. It's a strip club gun. Yeah. Give it to you when you walk in.
Yeah. Do you think the gun was sticky? He had like just retrieved it from somewhere? Yeah.
Imagine if it was like a fake gun that takes Keel shots out of it and it all just got confused. That's what he should do. He should be like either it's a sex toy or it's just like a novelty gun. Yeah.
But yeah, Jon Rant's got a, I mean, good first move by deleting Twitter and Instagram. That feels like a smart move. And then someone, maybe Plaxo Burstyn, he's sitting down, be like, hey, dude, you got a lot of money. And this is dumb.
Yeah. It's very dumb. Like he has a lot of money, but he stands to make a lot of money. Not forget the money.
He's like one of the most talented guys in the NBA. Like that's really what's at stake here is like your talent could be wasted if things go bad and you're not in the league. Yeah. So figure it out, dude.
Yeah. Figure it out, Jon Rant. You're really? Last thing on the side.
I'm standing behind Jon Rant through these difficult times, by the way. I just want that clear. Okay. He was, he was a recurring guest.
I think he's got to figure some things out. I'm not going easy on him when I am hoping for redemption arc. And I'm not going to write him off forever. You think his dad's given him that tough love because we said that his dad was his biggest hater.
His dad should just make fun of the size of that little time gun. I know we joke about that, but reply reply guy said that like you want to carry a small gun in a strip club because of the guns too big when you're getting like, like, this was on Twitter. He was like, it might go off. You might shoot the strip.
Yeah. So they're like, that was in a strip club. Yeah. So it's like, it's a strip that's also that's also a problem because if you have a strip club gun, that means you have a gun forever.
Mm hmm. You don't have a golf course gun. You don't just have a strip club gun. Yeah.
That's not just like, oh, I own one gun. It's my strip club. You got to only bring a strip car on the way to the airport gun. Yeah.
That you have. Yeah, you have your practice gun. You think John Rant, your game gun, I think your Saturday night, ABC special game gun. You think John, like, carries a gun and has or has carried a gun and is like warm-ups during bringing around about that.
