Today's one that we've kind of been we've been promising probably for two years now and we're going to deliver on it today. It's a huge pain in the ass to put together and it's hilarious and insane and just a big pile of weirdness.

This is one of those ones where you definitely don't have to like sports to be into this because the story is just very little actually on the field here. It's a whole lot off the field. A lot of craziness. Before we get to our insane story this week just quickly, quickly I got to do some house cleaning.

And you know what man. Let's dive. Great. Let's dive in. Let's get in quick this week because it's a lot. It's a lot to unpack. And you know, we don't want to be here online. So let's do this with Todd Morinovich.

I know who he is. I just don't know. I'm hanging out with him. I'm aware of him. You're aware. Everyone's a hard not to be aware of him. If you just I don't know, looked at the news or something for the last 30 years or so. Cause this guy's been kind of in the news.

Yeah. Not for good things mostly for the last 30 years. So it's really been he is one of the weirdest stories. This is kind of like an arch list archleaster kind of you know mixed with a couple of other guys. It's a weird weird kind of Ryan leaf archleaster together with the dad thing with chleaster. It sounds scum is super weird. And he's just a we play idiot or asshole. And the guy such an idiot. He's an asshole.

Stop being an asshole. You idiot. That's one of those things. It's just it's all self destructive. He doesn't hurt anybody else really. But he's just a dummy. So let's talk about him. Todd Marvin Morinovich. He was originally Marvin Scott, which is his father's name. So he was a junior. Oh, he hated it. He was born and named a junior. And then his mother changed his mother. His mother changed it to Todd Marvin.

That's too late. But this was when he was still like a baby. It was in the first couple weeks. But he's cursed you cursed him at one point. The legal document. He's a junior on it. You're done. So he was fucked right there. Right for birth. This is the proof right here that you can't stop it. It's coming.

Is it is nature or nurture or is it what you name them at birth and they don't even know about it. It doesn't matter. It's still there. The nurture and nature of a name.

You can't stop it. He's born born on the 4th of July. No kidding. Fourth of July 1969. So July 4th, 69 he is born. Now before we talk anything about him, we have to talk about his father.

Yeah. Because that is everything is tied into his dad. Of course everything. If you know, if you know anything about the Morinovich story, he as we'll find out just a brief overview. He was raised as a basically a pawn.

Basically they took a lump of child mold. It's just a lump of child clay and they said, we'll make a football player out of that whether they like it or not. So it's a really, really weird story of. But that to the extreme.

Did his dad have aspirations of football stuff too? Not just aspirations. We'll talk about his dad. His dad's Marv Morinovich. He is he's born in 1939. He went to USC where he played both ways on the early 60s USC football team.

Alignment on defense and offense for a national championship team. So he's a, and a USC hero. He was voted most inspirational player in their championship year.

I was fucking say so. He's a psychopath on the field. This guy's a monster just a drooling crazy person. He's never off the field. Unless the specialty. That's the thing. And it's crazy. He's all effort and he's all conditioning.

He's a later on. He'll be a strength and conditioning coach. And even here he ends up he's drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the 12th round of the 1962 draft. So he's drafted into the NFL. He's also drafted by the Oakland Raiders of the AFL in the 28th round of the 62 draft.
