0:30.0 | Hey everybody, this is Greg Gutfeld, this is the one, as you know, I absolutely despise Twitter even though I'm on it. |
0:41.0 | I hate everything, almost everything about it. It upsets me, it gets, I offer a lesser version of myself on Twitter. |
0:49.0 | I'm not as interesting or funny or brilliant on Twitter. Yet, there are reasons why I'm on Twitter. |
0:56.0 | And it's maybe a few people that keep me going on Twitter. It's people who have somehow mastered what Twitter is supposed to be. |
1:03.0 | One of the people that have mastered, that's done this, is a guy named Ricky Cobb. He has a Twitter account called Super 70s Sports, which is basically has 300,000 followers on Twitter. |
1:16.0 | I love it. It's just, it's an amazing non-stop. What is going on over there, Ricky? What are those weird noises? |
1:23.0 | Are you an elevator? I was actually in my car. I'm in the parking lot of the college where I teach nice trying to move to a quiet corner of the parking lot. I didn't put my seatbelt on. |
1:39.0 | The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the perfect. That is so perfect. I love it. You know, so I just want to, I just, this is Ricky Cobb. |
1:48.0 | He's actually associated sociology professor at Illinois. Maraine. Is it Maraine? |
1:54.0 | Maraine Valley. Yes. It sounds like it was a, it's a made up name from a comic book. Like he, Maraine Valley Community College. But you're best known oddly enough, and I'm sure you never expected this in your life for your Twitter account. Super 70s Sports. Now, how would you describe your Twitter account? |
2:11.0 | I would describe my Twitter account sort of as my sort of my id running wild, I guess. It's kind of my sports pop culture side of my personality. And it's, it's really become this sort of unexpected adventure Greg that I never could have anticipated in my wildest dreams. And suddenly, suddenly here I am, you know, sort of maybe reaching my, my kilos. |
2:39.0 | That was what my philosophy professor used to talk about in college that we're all on a trajectory to our, to our true self. And I think for me, it took the, it took the dumpster fire of Twitter to get in touch with, with what I'm really all about. |
2:56.0 | You know, it's so funny because I, you know, I didn't know you were a sociology professor. What do you, what's your expertise? What do you, what do you teach? |
3:05.0 | Well, I'm a sociology professor. So I'm a social observer. You know, my specialty is, is basically just teaching. You know, I serve myself to be a classroom teacher. I, I'm not really a research oriented person. For me, the dynamic is being in the classroom, trying to get students to develop their critical thinking skills. |
3:31.0 | That's great. And think for themselves, not be in limits. And, you know, I definitely still enjoy that. I get older and a little more cynical, but it's kind of nice to have the perspective of, of the young mind as naive as it is sometimes. It kind of keeps me refreshed. |
3:48.0 | Well, I tell you, I love, I love what you do on, it is so funny. Your Twitter account. And I have a theory on why, like, I don't know your age. I'll, we'll get into that later. But like, the why the 70s is so interesting. My theory is, because you had limited choices, everything is awesome in it. Like a super bad way. Like, like, it's so uniquely bad because you had only like you have three channels. You had limited options for eating. I mean, fine dining when you were young. |
4:17.0 | Like, remember when your parents would take you out to dinner in the 70s, that's horrible food. Like, everything we ate was terrible. And like, there was a few fast food restaurants that were like pizza places and McDonald's. And then, then you went home and there was ABC CBS NBC, a local channel, UHF channel. And everything was bad. But it was bad and almost like, like, the way you captured in your account, like, with 1970s professional bass player, a baseball player. |
