And gentlemen, welcome to the evening jumps. Um, I apologize for being such a long time since the last time. There are a number of reasons. Um, that this happened. Many of them were technical. Then we just kind of got to a place of habit. I suppose. And then, you know, like when we're doing game theory. That's just all in compass and I'll really find myself having the time necessarily to do that. Um,

. Um, but, you know, might have a little more time on my hands these days pretty soon. So, you know, we might jump on here and there. I figured that, um, you know, a lot of people got a whole lot of things to say that involved me right now. I figured I might as well just come here and talk to people. And I guess when I say I come here to talk to people, I should probably be specific.

Um, this is where I come to talk to like the day one folks, you know, and I've said this many times about this particular vehicle, these in general, that like this is the thing above all things that is mine.

And it has always been, I guess, a certain sort of intimacy of it between me and the audience, even though, you know, a significant portion of it is me chastising people's questions that they were kind enough to ask because they care enough to come to this thing.

You know, it happens. Like you go to a die rick will show cause your hockey puck, right? That's what you pay for. Um, my man, he talks about he got a cousin who loves Rudy Ray Moore. He went to a really, really more show and really, really, really more called him a high yellow motherfucker.

Instead of the dials on the highlights of his life. Like I feel like when you'll be asking stupid questions in here, that's just what you go for. I'm just trying to give you with your ass for a baby.

But anyway, um, uh, this is where we go or where I go at least to talk to my day one folks, I see some people saying something about turning the microphone up, I'm going to try to do a little something that regard, perhaps that could help, um,

to give me on that we ain't done this in a minute. But, um, so I could understand why some of you may have seen a report and because of the outlet that reported it, perhaps you might not think that those people were telling the truth when it comes to me on occasion.

They are erroneous. In this case, they are not. No, uh, game theory is not coming back. Um, the thing that makes this kind of interesting for me, just being, you know, me personally, is that I've known this for like two months.

I have a fairly chuckle some story about the moment that I found out about it, but I don't know if it's necessarily appropriate to tell right now, even though I was obeying the law.

Anyway, um, so it's kind of wild when like whatever, like ways personally that I was dealing with it, I already did.

And then these months later, it like comes out like it's a big thing, right? Oh, you know, game theory is not coming back, but my show got canceled.

And then that like turns into a level of online discussion that I wish I could say I completely ignored, but I'd probably say I can so far more of than I should have.

Um, and then people start writing about it.

And there are like a couple levels that feel like me personally come up in this. Um, one of them, and this is the point that I want to be very clear about.

And I think it's very important and I think that this applies also to, you know, my work situation at ESPN and it applies to what has happened at ESPN.

And I mean, what I guess based on what I've read will continue to happen in terms of kind of people of being like salary cap cash.

He's basically, but you see the term I use right salary cap cash.

You know what that is? That is a casual term that we use at my job to talk about when people get fired.

Every day at my job, we show up and we talk about who we think should get fired, who we think will get fired.
