It was like a burnt CD. Yeah, and caught on. They started to produce it, and then people they were like it was it was so big.

About schro I don't know what that means, but I know what you're saying. I know exactly what you're trying to say, but I don't know what that means. What do you mean Schroeder is either the Peanuts guy?

There we go, huh okay, but I have no idea what that has to do with what you're trying to say.

It doesn't, it has nothing. It's just not the same thing at all, does the piano virtuoso guy?

It doesn't, it has nothing. It's just not the same thing at all, does the piano virtuoso guy?

Okay, it's also not the right name that you're thinking over.

Okay, it's also not the right name that you're thinking over.

Yeah it all? Yeah, yeah, okay, So so thank you Eddie. Charles Schultz shrowed to the player, all that I'm not the same got it? So I will. Schrodinger's Cat is an experiment where there's a cat in a box basically, and it's and I won't even do the superposition thing. But the cat is both alive and dead until you open the box. Okay, there's poison in the box. Until you know the cat is both dead and alive. Is it really no? But you don't know. So it's fate is linked to the sub atomic event, which is the poison. Does it spill and kill the cat or is wow? So my point is deep No, just wait, I'll make it easier and worse. Arkansas's in that box right now. Huh.

Yeah it all? Yeah, yeah, okay, So so thank you Eddie. Charles Schultz shrowed to the player, all that I'm not the same got it? So I will.

You have no idea.

You have no idea.

The Razorbacks played as you've heard this. The game is over, but they both won and lost right now because they are still in the box to me as we record this. So they're the cat with the poison. The Arkansas Razorback basketball team. They're playing at nine o'clock our times of seven local in San Francisco, and they're playing Texas Tech. And that's the cat. And I hope to god that box is open when you hear this. The cat's alive.

What I like about you is you're a very realistic person. You know, like, yeah, you're not at like a oh, I just because I want it to happen. This is what I believe. So what do you think is in the box?

What I like about you is you're a very realistic person. You know, like, yeah, you're not at like a oh, I just because I want it to happen. This is what I believe. So what do you think is in the box?

Truly, I think we lose by five, We probably go down by twelve or thirteen, make a little run to get it within two or three, and they kind of close the deal win by four or five. City around in that at the end, that would be, Hey, pick us a specific situation, and if you're right, I'll give you money. That would be the situation that would pick. That doesn't mean I love them any less, because I love nothing more, but that cat's dead. In my mind, cat is dead very well, and I can't wait saying this is what I was bringing up next. So if that cat's alive, and I'll say that next Monday and Tuesday, I'll be filling in for Rich Eyes and still doing the Bobby Bone Show in the morning. But then I'm gonna be filling in for Rich Eyes and on his radio and TV show Monday and Tuesday. And that's in Los Angeles. But if if the cats alive at the end of the night on Thursday night, you hear this. On Friday, they have a game on Saturday, San Francisco. I may have to go see the alive cat. And now both Eddie and Reed are going with me, and we'd have to I would love to see the live cat. Have to question, is I mean, could you go?

Ed?

Ed?

He's got a family.

He's got a family.

That's a good question. I'd have to talk with the boss about that cats.

That's a good question. I'd have to talk with the boss about that cats.

We don't know the cats the cats.

We don't know the cats the cats.

But who knows. It may not even need to be a conversation we need to have because we don't know if the cat's alive. But dang, that'd be cool.

But who knows. It may not even need to be a conversation we need to have because we don't know if the cat's alive. But dang, that'd be cool.

Man.

Man.

You should present it like that to the boss cat.

You should present it like that to the boss cat.

Like Snoopy Woodstock. Okay, just picture this so if the cats alive, no, no, but here's also I can also there's a meet in the medal which is nice, a little diamond ryo. Possibly possibly I can't even go, depending probably I can, and we would fly. We'd fly out their private but it'd be on a Saturday. But if you couldn't go, you would just I just fly southwest on Sunday in l A. And that kind of suck. But you're not used to flying.

Yeah, I don't flying southwest. That's a big difference, you know, that's my thing, right, like, I like saying that out loud in the Southwest flight and people and watch people go like, who's that douchebag?

Yeah, I don't flying southwest. That's a big difference, you know, that's my thing, right, like, I like saying that out loud in the Southwest flight and people and watch people go like, who's that douchebag?

Yeah, that's what I remember with flying flying with you, You're like, oh, this never happens when I fly.

Yeah, that's what I remember with flying flying with you, You're like, oh, this never happens when I fly.

And somebody always turns around. Dang dude, is okay, Hey, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

And somebody always turns around. Dang dude, is okay, Hey, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

And I almost don't want to say it because of the jinks, but I think the cat outweighs the jinks. So I would love for Arkansas Wind. Now that leads me to my next couple of things, because they do have some things that specifically I wanted to talk about. And let me do this before I forget number one Russell Wilson playing for the Giants. Yeah, I caught it weird.

And I almost don't want to say it because of the jinks, but I think the cat outweighs the jinks. So I would love for Arkansas Wind. Now that leads me to my next couple of things, because they do have some things that specifically I wanted to talk about. And let me do this before I forget number one Russell Wilson playing for the Giants. Yeah, I caught it weird.

Right, yeah, yeah, Jameis Winston, Russell and Tommy Cutlets, you got, you got all of them.

Right, yeah, yeah, Jameis Winston, Russell and Tommy Cutlets, you got, you got all of them.

It's weird, but I think it's they weren't a player away anyway.

It's weird, but I think it's they weren't a player away anyway.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But now, like this whole thing with drafting a quarterback is probably out the window, right.

But now, like this whole thing with drafting a quarterback is probably out the window, right.

But because I think they weren't a quarterback away, I think they can now trade down and be closer to being just a quarterback away So do you hate the Giants? That's your Jets guy, I'm not No, I don't really hate the Giants. They had the the awesome Super Bowl win over the Patriots and O seven.

But because I think they weren't a quarterback away, I think they can now trade down and be closer to being just a quarterback away So do you hate the Giants? That's your Jets guy, I'm not No, I don't really hate the Giants. They had the the awesome Super Bowl win over the Patriots and O seven.

So I think that little.

So I think that little.

Do you hate the Patriots more, the Giants more as the Jets hats more? Yeah, okay, that's fair. Oh I didn't know same city. I hadn't up with the right. Yeah yeah, no, yeah, because the Giants are more like Eagles and Cowboys.

Do you hate the Patriots more, the Giants more as the Jets hats more? Yeah, okay, that's fair. Oh I didn't know same city. I hadn't up with the right. Yeah yeah, no, yeah, because the Giants are more like Eagles and Cowboys.

That's their big rivalries, so they have the East.

That's their big rivalries, so they have the East.

The Giants reached to the Granmar with Super Bowl winning quarterback one year deal worth the twenty one million bucks. The ten time Pro Bowl selection has been in discussions with the Giants, the Browns, and the Steelers. Hey, you know who is the real winner so far is Kenny Pickett because he goes to Cleveland and then the day he goes to Cleveland, Russ is also in the building and he's like, I thought I was getting a shot at this job. He wouldn't have got a shot at the job at Cleveland, signed Russ. I think a little small hands pickets hand yeah, yeah, yeah, poor guy. I think he has a shot to play even if they draft. What are they two there to Yeah, so eight door. Even if they do take a quarterback, I still think he probably plays a lot because they suck. They did not, So it's interesting. That means probably to Aaron Rodgers to the Steelers almost certainly, almost certainly.

Almost certainly.

Almost certainly.

But nothing is certain about Aaron Rodgers exactly.

But nothing is certain about Aaron Rodgers exactly.

He's an enigma.

He's an enigma.

You know.

You know.

I did see to find Diggs to the Patriots. Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna be with his brother, and okay, that's why I remember. It affected both of you. So Eddie with thought, you're a Cowboys guy, could go to the Cowboys.

I did see to find Diggs to the Patriots. Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna be with his brother, and okay, that's why I remember. It affected both of you. So Eddie with thought, you're a Cowboys guy, could go to the Cowboys.

We want a little family together. That'd be great for team morale, but not gonna happen.

We want a little family together. That'd be great for team morale, but not gonna happen.

Yeah, and he the Patriots. It's a love hate thing. At first, I was like, that's a lot of money, but they can cut out after the first year, and I think it's twenty six or twenty nine million guaranteed coming off the ACL getting a little bit older. The only thing I'm concerned about is Drake May and the way that Stefan Diggs can kind of rub quarterbacks the wrong way. The last few years. I don't think he really had anything with C. J. Stroud, but Josh Allen, it was pretty clear he wanted him out of there, you'd think, right, So we'll see how it goes. Three years a lot of money, like I said, but if they can cut tie up there one. If it doesn't go, well, I'm happy with that.

Yeah, and he the Patriots. It's a love hate thing.

If it doesn't go, well, I'm happy with that.

What does he talk crapped about his quarterbacks? What was he doing? I think he's just a difficult person to play with. He will ask. Then that's a diva esque position, like you have to be to be good at it, like that's part of it. But then there's kind of a line. But yeah, I think not the easiest to to have a living relationship with because he's really good.

What does he talk crapped about his quarterbacks? What was he doing? I think he's just a difficult person to play with. He will ask. Then that's a diva esque position, like you have to be to be good at it, like that's part of it. But then there's kind of a line. But yeah, I think not the easiest to to have a living relationship with because he's really good.

Really good, and at the end of the day, I'm like, Okay, well he's still better, way better than anybody that we have on the roster. So that's all I really care about.

Really good, and at the end of the day, I'm like, Okay, well he's still better, way better than anybody that we have on the roster. So that's all I really care about.

So here we go. Let's talk draft then. So Travis Hunter, you know that was the guy and if he does was he gonna play quarterback, cornerback mostly and receive So does that signing do you think that affects what the pass are gonna do?

So here we go. Let's talk draft then. So Travis Hunter, you know that was the guy and if he does was he gonna play quarterback, cornerback mostly and receive So does that signing do you think that affects what the pass are gonna do?

Yeah, I think they're gonna go line, whether it's defense or offense. Probably offense, especially still with Rabel. No matter what, I think they'll go offensive line, whether it's a Campbell or under another kid because his arms are too short. So I don't think it affects it.

Yeah, I think they're gonna go line, whether it's defense or offense. Probably offense, especially still with Rabel. No matter what, I think they'll go offensive line, whether it's a Campbell or under another kid because his arms are too short. So I don't think it affects it.

No, do you think they move down because they I hope they do, because if it's not Travis Hunter and they don't need a quarterback, why would you stay at four four year four? I agreecause any of those guys you want to get there, you can probably get eight thirteen.

No, do you think they move down because they I hope they do, because if it's not Travis Hunter and they don't need a quarterback, why would you stay at four four year four? I agreecause any of those guys you want to get there, you can probably get eight thirteen.

Yeah, in those spots, I'm right there with you. I hope that they do trade down. Somebody wants Hunter moves up, gets another first round pick or a couple of seconds, whatever it might be, and then grab an offensive lineman and then just kind of still build internally in the trenches, as they say, for Drake.

Yeah, in those spots, I'm right there with you. I hope that they do trade down. Somebody wants Hunter moves up, gets another first round pick or a couple of seconds, whatever it might be, and then grab an offensive lineman and then just kind of still build internally in the trenches, as they say, for Drake.

May one more thing and we have a lot to do today, but one more thing before I jump. I've been on Auburn to win the whole thing, about a thousand bucks on Auburn the beginning of the tournament to win at all. They've been playing pretty consistent. Nobody's really picking Auburn now to win at all. They were the number one one seed based on their entire season. They're not the flashiest. Duke looks freaking awesome. They're just killing everybody that comes their way. Duke Houston Houston to me, what's my analogy? Is it Schroeder this time? Or it's a good question. Brandon Houston to me was c J. Stroud last year and now I'm gonna make this analogy. I was killing it every week, but he was also rookie and people were like, wow, rookie. Eventually rookie suck and they're not going to win much in the playoffs. Houston is always good. Houston's good, Yeah, but eventually the rookiness catches up with them every year. And Calvisam's awesome also as a coach. But I just never believe in them because I've never seen a rookie quarterback won Super Bowl. You know why, because it doesn't happen. I've never seen Houston win a national championship, even though they're freaking awesome. So I don't believe. I don't believe in them. I don't believe in Houston, even though they are really freaking good. Florida, They're they're probably if I could re bet at the team, I would re bet it on really just bet it on Duke and every ell them. No, I don't hate Duke, but I would hate betting on Duke.

That's I mean, that's how I'm like with Arkansas. Like even if I look at the game and be like, oh, they can't win this, I'll never bet that game.

That's I mean, that's how I'm like with Arkansas. Like even if I look at the game and be like, oh, they can't win this, I'll never bet that game.

But also it's too flashy. I don't want to bet what's too flashy in these tournaments because the teams are always man, they look the best, they're gonna win. They rarely do yeh Yukon. When they look flashy, they on the whole Oh Yukon. Just they won by an average of thirteen points every game they were even flashy. That wasn't even flash that was just domination dominant. So I'm still sitting Obviously, I still have Auburn. I haven't cashed out because I haven't my money back yet to cash out. I don't think I would cash out unless they made it to the finals. I think they do man so, So the situation is if they're playing in the in the region over the Arkansas playing in and if they win, then Arkansas Arkansas went they play each other. Oh here's my thing though, So uh, Duke a plus two ten of the favorite betting Florida plus three point fifty, Houston and Auburn a plus five hundred so tied there for third. Then Tennessee, which I think Tennessee Woodshed's Kentucky even though Kentucky's beating them twice. Uh, Texas Tech and Alabama and the Michigan State. So I didn't have Arkansas didn't make the list. Things of Kentucky. You can't even bet on this. They're like, we don't, we don't want it. If you're going to make this decision, you need the money, keep the money.

It is.

Yes, well, another potential friendship that I thought there was no reason for me to think this friendship. Whatever happened. And I can play a little game first where you can try to guess it and then tell you how it happened. We have had either people come to us for the show or too much access, or we have gone to them. And I would say our success rate has gotten a lot higher the more episodes we've done, because we proved we have a pretty good product. There's been one basketball team that's that does not college. It's not even opened us coming like. It's just been like, nah, I know that is Yeah you do Yep, Yeah, they're they're regional.

This is my friend Sarah Spain. I used to listen to her on ESPN way back in the day and the first time I met her, I was like, oh, he's listened to you all the time on ESPN, And she was like, how'd you get in here? And I was like, oh, yeah, sorry, I said, Sarah, thank you. That's a good dude. That's good. I expect you guys keep laughing at that. That's kind of stupid. Sarah is super dialed in when it comes to sports in general, but women's sports, especially the NCAA tournament women That tournament's going on right now. She has a great show called Good Game with Sarah Spain that I want you to check out. An Emmy and a Peabody Award winning journalist. Mostly though, like she just knows ball, and so we'll talk like Juju Watkins, that injury, we'll talk NCAA Women's tournament. But then it's just like all bets are off and then somebody screws up real bad and that person want that person wasn't me, But you're about to hear, big fan check out Good Game with Sarah Spain at Sarah Spain on Twitter here she is Sarah Spain. Hey, Sarah, I first want to start with Juju Watkins and acl tear let's just talk about that first because probably ends their run in the tournament, and then I want to go from that. But but your thoughts on how severe this is? What do you know? And then what is USC going to do the rest of the tournament.

Yeah, it's just a huge bummer.

Yeah, it's just a huge bummer.

You know, not only is she probably gonna win Player of the Year, and at as a sophomore, is already trying to kind of take the mantle from Caitlin Clark as the face, the name, the player that every body knows. But it's always just terrible to see a season end prematurely. We all wanted to see what would happen if USC ended up facing Yukon, which is what we expected in the Elite eight see Pagebeckers versus Juju Watkins. That's a ratings bonanza and that's the two biggest names really in college women's college basketball right now. So yeah, just really heartbroken for Juju. I will say I don't think USC's tournament is over. Kiki Eriefen had thirty six points and nine boards in their last game, and they're taking out of Kansas State team that honestly I don't think can beat them even without Juju. The question really is mentally, Bobby, when your teammate goes down midgame like that, you see her in a heap on the floor, she gets carried off. You're waiting to hear exactly what the situation is. Maybe you still have hope that she comes back when you get to that next game and you've had a couple of days to be disappointed, to be heartbroken for your teammate. Maybe she's even sitting courtside in a big old brace for this case state game. Mentally, is this team ready to approach the rest of the tournament with a completely different mindset without their you know, top player superstar with.

Maybe she's even sitting courtside in a big old brace for this case state game. Mentally, is this team ready to approach the rest of the tournament with a completely different mindset without their you know, top player superstar with.

Them and USC is still a point a half favorite. That line changed drastically once she was fell.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, Well, as far as the ACL injury goes, so it's so late and again it feels almost like Kyrie in the NBA, where that injury was so late that it's going to affect next year, almost the whole season with him next year. So same thing here with Juju Watkins. This ACL tair, how severe is it or what do we know about it? And as far as next year goes, is she going to be able to be one hundred percent when the season starts.

Yeah, so the last thing we heard was just from USC officially that she would be out for the rest of the tournament. Then we had sources reporting the ACL tair. So the last I've seen from USC, my guess is that they haven't come out with an official notice about the injury because they're trying to see if there are other related injuries. You know, oftentimes with an ACL, you might have an MCL, you might have other knee issue who's in addition to the a saltaur So I think they're probably just trying to figure out the extent of the damage before they revealed the diagnosis and the prognosis in terms of how long it'll take these injuries and these surgeries are better than ever here in Chicago. One of the NWSL players for the Chicago Star, Sam Stopp, came back way faster than expected. So I think it is dependent on the player, the rehab, how well the surgery goes. But yeah, it's pretty late, and I think what we know about Juju is if you're not super familiar with the women's game, people have been asking me like, oh, she's going to be number one in the draft, right, Like she's got to go, and I'm like, oh, you know, on the women's side, there are age requirements. You have to play X number of years and or meet a certain age in order to be eligible for the WNBA draft. At least with the current CBA that might change. But with Juju, she's only a sophomore, so I don't know how much it might cut into next season, whether that ends up being something where she'll save eligibility or whether she's in a rush to get to the next level. So a lot of that will just depend on her recovery well.

And also there's a massive pay disparity too, where you Juju A make a lot more money playing at USC than what digit not.

Necessarily because with the WNBA you get your salary and you still get all those sponsorships, you know, nil money can be tied to universities for areas and for sports in particular where your peak earning power is as a collegiate athlete, where you know, softball, for instance, is a sport where the world, you know, the World Series, the you know, college World Series for women is such a big deal that they sometimes can make more endorsements and stuff in their college years, but in the WNBA. You now you get a salary. You can add another two hundred k plus a year in Unrivaled. If you join that league and you get all the sponsorships and deals you were getting in.

College, you gotta go play another league though, too. Three and three is pretty fun. I like three on three did yeah?

I mean Unrivaled. They put it together well and they're getting paid. What did you thinke on one tournament alone?

I thought it was a blast. I thought it was a blast.

I think part of it for me is if you know the women's game and you know these players well, you're fascinated to see them mixed up and playing together. And you also love to see the ISOs where you get to see skill sets that maybe didn't recognize. I think you know, if you tend to watch men's hoops, you have to imagine if you took the thirty three best NBA players and dropped them into Miami for eight weeks and got to see all these rivals playing on the same team for the first time the one on one tournament.

Saw Kevin Durant and some other NBA players saying I don't know how they beat us to this, but we got to do this. And the question is whether the NBA guys have a willingness to put their egos on the line in a one on one because I loved watching that and what we learned from that, like especially about the unicorns and the bigs. I thought it was gonna be a lot of guards with some nifty ball handling skills working their way around the bigs, and it ended up being one guard in the final four players and a bunch of bigs that had crazy length and much faster, more endurance than you expected from from from the tall So I would love to see that on the men's side too. So I thought Unrivaled had a bunch of ideas that are going to get stolen by other leagues.

Let's take the juju watcand let's put in the vacuum so it doesn't exist. So I just want to talk about Yukon for a second, because I think Paigebecker stays everybody wants to here win a championship. We love to see people that hang around and stay with it and then for that to finally pay off. And South Carolina and Yukon are probably the two teams now it's gonna you know, it's but I think now like my interest, I was very much at Juju Watkin's guy. I got a bunch of signs. Did you watch and stuff? If I'm being honest with you, yes, very selfically yes, But now it's like I'm I'm I'm rooting for Yukon and it's weird for a dynasty I have no relationship with because I love to see somebody stick around and then see that come to ferration. So talk about that.

I had Gino Oriama on my show Good Game with Sarah Spain and we talked about how it's kind of unfair, but it's true that if Paige Becker's and ends up graduating they don't win this year, she will be the best player Yukon's had that never got a ring, and that's been injuries, that's been quality of play, that's been parody across the women's game, completely shifting in the last couple of years. It used to be all about Yukon and now there are any number of teams. You didn't even mention UCLA. They have a really good shot to win it. I don't think anyone has a good answer for Lauren Betts. So there's a handful of teams that you could see winning it, and I would love to see Yukon win too. I just think Paige Beckers has fought through so much as an athlete. She is an incredible ambassador for the game for speaking up for not just herself but other players that are not as often talked about, and watching her an asy fund be on the court at the same time healthy. And they have absolutely dusted everyone in their path. If we were reseeding this starting with the Elite eight, I think you'd be hard pressed to put a team above Yukon.
