Hey part of my take listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime members can listen, add free on Amazon Music. On today's part of my take, we have Steve O. Awesome, awesome interview. Probably the hardest that PFT and I have ever fan-boyed out. We've had a lot of big guests, but Steve O, we basically went Chris Farley like, hey dude dude, remember that time that Preston farted into a tube and then you pukeed or remember that time you got bit by an alligator. Awesome time though with him. He's got a new special out. He gives us a lot of behind the scenes stuff. So get ready for that. Also maybe if you're listening in a car with kids, don't listen to the whole thing because there's some Steve O stuff they have to learn sooner or later Steve O stuff yeah I mean don't walk away from

that Also, maybe if you're listening in a car with kids, don't listen to the whole thing because there's some

Steve O stuff they have to learn sooner or less. Steve O stuff. Yeah, I mean don't walk away from that saying he a Chris Pawnee says come Maybe I should like myself on fire more. I'll say it now so that way when it had when it gets said it doesn't feel as jarring we have News around the sports world. We have the PGA championship We have who's's Back of the Week and a This League. And Billy is back. Unfortunately, we did not reach what we say. We had had two million downloads. I think we only had one million. So we were close so Billy's allowed back. Billy didn't listen to the show. So he has no idea what we're talking about right now. I actually did. Oh, so what did we say? You said that if they listen 17 times, that it would up the listening rate and I get kicked off the show. Okay. And then PFT made several jokes about how many like shows should have done that with characters. Got it. Okay. That's enough. All right. We got it. You're here. It's a lot more fun. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So Billy's back. Before we get to all of that part, my take is brought to you by CashApp not only is it the easiest place to send money to your friends, it's the safest.

Are you in the right headspace to receive information that could possibly hurt you hang on? No, yes, college football has been canceled. Yeah, not officially, but it feels like we're on the ropes The Mac cancel on Saturday Which as we all know the Mac is the most important conference out there so the dominoes have fallen since then Right now as we're sitting here on Sunday night. It has not been officially canceled But I think we need to just expect the worst and hope for some long shot miracle to happen and have the season happen But as we're sitting here right now It feels like the big 10 is going to announce that they're canceling on Monday And then who knows what's gonna happen? I could still see the SEC being like fuck everyone we're playing, which I will watch

every single game. But that is where we're at. I'm sad. It hurts pain. It's bad. It's a not a good position to be in as far as sports fandom goes. But I think maybe the NFL will step up this fall. And as long as they had to have a season, they'll probably have some games going on Saturdays. So we could run into a situation where it's like game Thursday night, game Saturday afternoon,

game Saturdays. So we could run into a situation where it's like,

game Thursday night, game Saturday afternoon, game Saturday night, games all day on Sunday. So they'll fill the void to a certain extent, but yeah, it's gonna suck not having college football on Saturday. The only spin zone is LSU, back-to-back, national champions, they remain the title holders. don't, I get, I understand all of it because essentially it boils down to, and I see all these tweets people being like, MLB figured it out, basketball figured it out, NHL figured out, golf figured out, well guess what the difference is. This is the one sport where they don't pay their athletes. And if they pay their athletes, I actually think it would happen. It would just basically be like, hey, do you want to get paid? OK, come play. Because you can't really ask a 19-year-old to go out there

and play during a pandemic. And if they pay their athletes, I actually think it would happen. They would basically be like, hey, do you want to get paid?

Okay, come play.

Because you can't really ask a 19 year old to go out there and play during a pandemic, not knowing the future health implications necessarily when they're not getting paid to do it. And the problem is the NCAA will do everything, including cancel a season before they pay their athletes. Yes. to keep the the air of uh... student athletes in amateurism alive even though we

all know that's foolish

but before they pay their athlete yes so they want to keep the the air of uh... student athletes in amateurism alive even though we all know that's foolish but i still go back to the fact that i really do think the the part that's not getting sit talked about and i'd travel or it's had a great tweet thread that when you take football away from uh... these huge teams and basically say go fend for yourself there is a possibility it can be at times more dangerous when you're like you're not getting tested anymore. You're not under supervision all the time. You're not part of a team atmosphere. Basically go fend for yourself. And I think that's a valid argument that just kind of gets lost where everyone says we have to cancel it. Like there's nuance to this. And absolutely. absolute state of America doesn't do well with you know I'm saying more but you're right I think that like having access to world class health care or at least like United States class health care at the top of it when you're like if you're an athlete at Clemson you are getting much much better care taking care of you then you are if you're just like a random 21 year old and Akin South Carolina. And how about if you want to play,

you have to follow like you have to wear a mask

and you have to socially distance. You have to be cautious. Whereas the alternative is let's just let all the student athletes go out in the world. And who knows what happened? Because guess what? It's now they're just part of, and I get the liability and everything. Billy told us a fact that one in 50 offensive lineman will die from a heart attack during a game

Which I don't know where he got that fact out of his ass. He literally just said that before the show

I

Get all of it. I'm just sad that we're probably not gonna have college football this season

I wish they could figure it out and it feels like it's being made to be a black and white issue when it's not

fully that where they're I would have a way what I keep going back to the OPST hall. Now I want to hear your way, but what I keep going back to is why? Why cancel it right now when like if in March, New York was absolutely ravaged by coronavirus. Now New York's doing pretty well. Like I don't I don't know. I guess you kind of have to because you can't just let people just linger there, but it feels

like, I don't know, maybe the way it a month, the way it's two months, see if things get better and knowing that it probably won't, but at least you give the opportunity that maybe we can figure out a way instead of being like, here we are, first, second week of August, everything's canceled, we're done. Okay, what about this idea? I stole this from Breaking Bad.

What if they just elected to pay the players but they're like, we'll pay you guys each
