| 0:00.0 | Here it is, folks, our first emergency episode of the 2020-20-6 season. |
| 0:20.0 | It's me. It's an Orlando. This is two shows in one day. |
| 0:23.9 | Never miss a Sunday show times two. Jerome Tang has been fired. You're watching this. You saw |
| 0:30.6 | the thumbnail. You saw it populate your feed. You know what this episode is going to be about. |
| 0:34.3 | For everyone that has woken up on Monday morning, looking forward to listening to the longer Sunday episode, |
| 0:39.7 | go and enjoy that. |
| 0:41.0 | We actually did talk about Jerome Tang and Kansas State |
| 0:43.8 | for all of, I don't know, |
| 0:44.9 | two, two and a half minutes on that. |
| 0:46.8 | And then two hours after we wrapped, |
| 0:50.5 | thereabouts, Jerome Tang was fired by Kansas State. So I'm going to give you the basics off the top as I know them at this hour. As we go live here on YouTube, if you are watching live, thank you for dipping in real quick. We did get some comments to do an emergency podcast. I'm here. GP is out of pocket. It's a Sunday night.

| 1:29.0 | He is being fired under the terms of cause for his job termination. Now, that is an important |
| 1:35.4 | detail here because Kansas State would otherwise owe him north of 18 million, closing in on 19 |
| 1:41.2 | million per the terms of his contract. If they fire him for cause, pay him |
| 1:45.6 | zero dollars. Why for cause? Well, the rant that went viral over the past four days is what |
| 1:54.2 | Kansas State is going to lean on here particularly, whether or not it will be successful. |
| 1:58.4 | That remains to be seen. I am not a lawyer i have never |
| 2:02.5 | pretended to be one on this podcast and never will uh but per per the language of his contract |
| 2:09.1 | kansas state under the terms it could fire him for cause among other things uh would be due to |
| 2:14.0 | bringing quote public disrepute embarrassment and ridicule ridicule, end quote, to the university. |
| 2:20.8 | Insert your joke about the play on the floor, yada, yada, yada. |
