I love that tune. It's simple. Yeah, it's gratifying. You have a good word gratifying gratifying comforting comforting. Yeah, and it signals the beginning of the steam room. Yes. Yes. Yes. The podcast features Charles Bartlett. This is bittersweet because this is our last steam room for a minute for a little while. Well, yeah, we'll be back. But we got a lot of stuff a little work three weeks away.

And I tell people nothing can screw up March madness. You know, it is to me. It's been an honor and a privilege to do it these last X amount of years. I think we're we're 10. Yeah, it's like I mean, when you're we didn't have it. This is 12. Man, 12 years of the agreement. That's unbelievable. Yeah. And I tell people, if you like sports, come to the final four. Other than the Olympics, it's the single greatest thing I've ever been a part of. That's Saturday at the

final four, one of the great days on the sports calendar. Yes. So nothing gets grew up. March Madness. We got to start there. But and we're going to and we're going to be talking to Jay right by the way. Yes. Just a bit later here in the steam room. So we look forward to that as we dive into March. Not like he's got anything else to do. He's unemployed. He's doing TV. Okay. That's that's doing TV with us. That's unemployed. You're employed. He no Tom Brady, but he's a pretty man. Mm-hmm. Well, I'll let you guys get into that when we are.

Oh, we talked to Jay right in just a bit. But first of all, well, unfortunately, you know, the steam room was supposed to be a fun thing. We're supposed to add 85% of the time it is. Yes. Well, this is a 15%. Okay.

Man, you know, Ernie, you'd like to say you didn't see this coming, but you saw this coming. We have talked about John Morant for the last three or four podcasts. And it had to come. It had to come to this stupidity and ridiculousness. Whatever words you want to use. I mean, man, this kid is so talented.

So talented, a great player. And you see the first incident with one of his friends pulling a gun on fans. He gets banned. And we said, yo, man, you got to have better friends. You got to have better people around you.

Then you see where he punches a kid and pulls a gun on a kid. Yeah, this stuff comes out from what what allegedly happened this past summer. And then you see him in a nightclub on IG.

Live on his own IG live flashing a gun. And you just said yourself, what the hell is up with this kid. And now you see he's, I don't know what words you want to use to spend it.

Time out. He's away from the team going to be away from the I plot the Memphis Grizzlies for not waiting on Adam Silver said, no, you need to go right now.

And at first it was him is the next two games. And now it's the next four minimum. Well, because this is just my personal opinion. What I think happened was because I was actually talking to a friend because he asked me, I just, well, I think Adam Silver is letting the Grizzlies handle it.

If they don't do something significant, he's probably going to have to step in because I to my recollection, I haven't heard Adam say anything.

So I think he's like, okay, you guys handled it. Now y'all handling it. I'm going to stay out of it because I personally think her Edwards is one of my great people I've met in my life.

Herm Edwards, if you get a chance, you always talk about don't push sin. But what he always talks about, he suspended some guys.

Because he said, I'm not going to wait on the NFL. What you did was wrong. My job as a coach to teach you right from wrong. And I said, man, that's admirable. He's not worried about winning games.

So he said, hey, I represent because he's the first person I, and I, this one of the most important things I talk about when I speak to young kids, he says, this is my, he says, my name ain't herm Edwards.

He's, that's my family's name. He says, I represent my family. And I was like, wow, that's deep and strong. So he says, if you do anything embarrass your family, my job as a coach is to penalize you.

And I want to get back. I just want to applaud the Memphis Grizzlies, coach Jenkins, and whoever, like, no, man, you need to sit down because it hurts me, man.

It really hurts me as an NBA player.

When one of my kids, because I look at all of them as my kids do something stupid. And to win, to win.

He's winning at life. He just signed a five year, 231 million dollar deal that kicks in next year. He's winning.

He got to make 231 million dollars. Bless him, bless him, bless him for dribbling a stupid basketball.

All he got to do is don't be a damn fool and idiot. And he can't do that.
