| 0:00.0 | visit Geico.com for a free rate quote. Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 38 years old and I went out to dinner last night with my wife and another couple. |
| 0:13.0 | And I turned my phone off, which is rare for me. Went to dinner, drove there, everything else, the entire meal and everything associated with it runs about three hours. |
| 0:25.0 | I don't have notifications set up on my phone because all I would get is notifications on Twitter. All I would get is notifications on Facebook, all different sorts of stuff. I read them, but I try to do it on my own time. Now it's rare that I will dial out when I'm awake for more than like 45 minutes, maybe an hour. |
| 0:44.0 | And so last night I turned off, you know, I didn't turn off my phone, but I put it down and I turned it over so somebody could still text me, babysitters got issues, something like that. And when I come back on my phone, it's after 10 o'clock Eastern. And so from about seven o'clock Eastern to about 10 o'clock Eastern, I had absolutely no contact whatsoever to the outside world. |
| 1:05.0 | And in that space of time, pure bed one broke out. One, we bombed Syria, which is pretty big news to Tim Tebow hits a home run in his first minor league at bat and turns social media into an absolute circus. |
| 1:23.0 | And three, with our ball says that UCLA had too many slow-footed white dudes to win a title. So all three of those things happen and then I get home like I said, it's about 10 o'clock. |
| 1:37.0 | And I'm deciding what the topics are going to be for the day. And when I stopped looking at my phone at 7 a.m. I thought, my God, Dustin Johnson withdraws. He doesn't even come out and tee off because he had slipped in his sock feet. That has to be our lead. |
| 1:50.0 | Instead, all three of those things happen. And I'm like, I got well tomorrow's show's all done. And so I thought to myself, we have to start with this little var ball insanity. I mean, we had a little var ball on the show. |
| 2:02.0 | What was it like Friday of last week, right? Just a week ago. And I thought he was totally normal with us. Nothing that he said seemed that outlandish. I thought, man, this is a guy who, yeah, he's saying crazy stuff. |
| 2:16.0 | But there's a method to his madness because he's thinking all about his brand that maybe he still is. But last night he said, this is a direct quote from the, as it is, the LA Daily News. |
| 2:28.0 | Realistically, you can't win no championship with three white guys because the foot speed is too slow. |
| 2:36.0 | I told Blanzo, one of these games, you might need to go for 30 or 40 points turned out that was the one game. Then once they get to the elite eight, they're right there. |
| 2:46.0 | He said his son had heard his hamstring and couldn't go full speed. There were, I believe, three white starters on UCLA. And, and so there we go. |
| 2:59.0 | The UCLA three white starters, Bryce offered TJ leaf and Thomas Welsh. None of them, according to Gary Parish of CBS, were beat off the dribble possessions after possession in the sweet 16 lost a Kentucky like, |
| 3:13.0 | like Lonzo Ball was. Lonzo Ball, of course, gave up 39 points to Deerren Fox in 36 minutes. And that, my friends, is an amazing opening comment. |
| 3:26.0 | Because then I started thinking, well, everybody's going to be upset at LaVar ball, right? You really probably can't point. |
| 3:35.0 | Although, you know, let's be honest, black people can get away with saying racist things because evidently racism doesn't apply to black people. |
| 3:42.0 | I mean, that's just kind of the rule that we've established in this country. Everybody else can pretty much be racist. |
| 3:47.0 | If LaVar ball, the equivalent of LaVar ball, comment was made like about anything else. Imagine that Luke Keekley's dad, winning an interview with the Charlotte news observer and said, yeah, I feel pretty good about our talent. |
| 4:03.0 | But I don't think you can win a Super Bowl with a black quarterback like Cam Newton, because he just doesn't process information fast enough at the quarterback position. |
| 4:13.0 | Can you imagine the uproar that would ensue if that were the case? I always like to play the, the MS ESPN game, except instead of them always trying to put things into a racial context and pull Matthew McConaughey and say, imagine that she was white. |
| 4:32.0 | I love to take something that a black guy says and say, okay, that LaVar ball said realistically, you can't win no championship with three white guys because the foot speed is too slow and flip it and say, okay, what if a white guy had said that about a black athlete at a position where there aren't that many black athletes? |
