Summary

The GOAT of tech, Marques Brownlee, joins the show to talk about how he built one of the biggest tech channels in the world, starting with reviewing a simple remote when no one else was doing it. Marques shares stories from interviewing icons like Kobe Bryant, Barack Obama, and Elon Musk, and dives into the future of robots, AI, and humanoid tech. He also talks about his career as a professional Ultimate Frisbee player and reveals a hilarious Almost Athlete moment. Later, Cody breaks down his NBA All-Star Celebrity Game performance and what went wrong in his matchup against Tacko Fall, while the guys answer wild voicemails about socks with sandals, eating pizza with a fork and knife, and whether Bigfoot could actually be real.

Follow the show on all socials at Almost Athletes, like and subscribe on YouTube, or listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcast. We're your host. I'm Sparky. I'm Corey. I'm Cody. Yeah, no G. No G. No Garrett. Let's talk about it. Eye injury. He's a pirate. Dude, before we start, I need a hat. You did? Wow.

0:58.1

I, no, Garrett. Let's talk about it. Eye injury. He's a pirate. Dude, before we start, I need a hat. You did? Huh? Wow. Coming unprepared. I had a hat on and I took it off and I'm regretting it. Oh, I know why you're putting that on. We got a big Burnley game today. Burnley game, so you guys already know the result. We don't know the result. Okay. Yeah. Burnley will shock the world. You're being a good fan. Dude, you look awesome. You look silly. You know what else looks silly? Your performance in LA. We'll talk about that later. We'll talk about that later. But first, where's Garrett? We had an almost athlete moment. J.B., show the picture. Got a text last, around 1.45 a.m., yes, I was up. No, what? Hared is out. Bad eye injury. He's in the ER, ma'am. We don't have the story yet, right? No, no story. I'm going to guess contact lens, just based off prior history. Maybe even contact lenses haven't got along too well over the year. Maybe he's

1:44.3

his eyes open. I see, I think he was yawning. I sleep with my eyes open. Fingernail scratch. Are you being for real? I'm being for real. My fan every morning I have to put eye drops in like first thing. You sleeping? I'm not my choice, unfortunately. I can't control myself when I'm in an unconscious state, Corey. That's crazy,

1:59.0

anyhow, Garrett wanted me to tell

2:00.6

first of all, Texas fans, congratulations

2:03.1

for the win in College Station, and he also added that the refs were horrible in the Burnley game. These are the two things. There's Gary right there. Doesn't look that bad. I don't know, man. That eye is more red than... I think to go to the ER for that. You think that's... amount of red redness? Hang on now, listen, you're not the one right now to be talking about ER trips. Cody wish he could have gone to the ER in the middle of his game. Just got yanked. How are y'all doing, though? Everything? Swell. Underutilized word, dude, I, dude. Yeah. Let's do that more.

2:35.0

Swell's a proper word after a 371. Shout out, you're just putting on for that area code. I don't know who the 371 was. 3.7 rebounds one assist. That's good. If you're from the 371, comment below. He got taco. I had fun. We'll talk about that a little later. a little later. Also this week, my six year. Oh, that's right. A little louder, please, goodness. Six years in the dude perfect family. I rolled in a bogey kind of clap. I wanted the birdie clap. Who do you give credit to for coming on the team? Cody Jones, actually. Got a baby. Yeah, was the, uh... I slid in his DMs.
