00:00We asked Kelly, like, how hot does a guy have to be to overcome this?
00:03Kelly said he would have to be, uh, Jon Hamm.
00:09Welcome to the Rundown. It is Wednesday, April 9th.
00:13I'm here with my good pals, Rico and Dugues.
00:17Master's Eve today.
00:19Master's Eve, also Nate's half-birthday eve,
00:21also potentially the birth of Roan's twin boys' eve.
00:25So we got a lot going on, um, but first we got to talk to you
00:28about some NASCAR Talladega Super Speedway.
00:31Talladega Super Speedway is NASCAR's biggest, baddest track,
00:33delivering heart-pounding action, pack, racing thrills,
00:37uh, keep drivers three wide and bumper-to-bumper at 200 miles an hour.
00:40Playoff implications are on the line, making every lap more intense.
00:44Unpredictable finishes mean anyone can take the checkered flag
00:46anytime at Talladega.
00:48The fan experience is unmatched. I can vouch for that.
00:51I've been to a bunch of NASCAR things. I'm actually going to Talladega.
00:54I'm very excited about that.
00:55They got tailgating, they got electric infield energy, they got it all.
00:59Tickets are selling fast, so secure your spot now at NASCAR.com.
01:03Experience the rush at Talladega.
01:05Get your NASCAR tickets now for edge-of-the-seat action.
01:09Uh, secure your seats today at NASCAR.com.
01:11You ever been to a NASCAR race?
01:12Yeah, it's awesome.
01:13It's literally, it's a Daytona with Jerry.
01:15It's unbelievable.
01:16The access we have and, like, the access most fans have,
01:19like, almost everyone was on the track before,
01:20like, just standing there with the racers.
01:22It's insane.
01:24Bring your own cooler in, booze it up.
01:26Talladega's great. It's supposed to be, the infield is supposed to be incredible.
01:28I went with you.
01:29Bristol.
01:30That's right.
01:31That was fun.
01:32Tennessee.
01:32Yeah.
01:33NASCAR.com, get your tickets.
01:35First topic, this is a Riggs blog.
01:37Some Big J journalists are thrown a fit because the student journalist who went viral
01:42for having that super flirty interview where the guy was just hypnotized by her
01:46in the Florida locker room.
01:48And when you step out on the court, I think you can tell there's just a huge shift in energy.
01:52The bench is going crazy.
01:53And then you make a bucket like that.
01:55Walk me through how that felt and, you know, so forth and so forth.
02:00Yeah, felt amazing.
02:01She's now upset journalists online because of her reaction to Florida winning.
02:07This is the school where she rent.
02:09Allegedly, you are not in the press box.
02:11You're not allowed to show any sort of emotion for whatever reason.
02:15Bias, blah, blah, blah.
02:16So these people saw her reaction she put on Twitter.
02:19They quote tweeted it and started just destroying this girl for being happy that her team won.
02:25First of all, her reaction is completely subdued.
02:27I agree.
02:28Can we replay that again?
02:29Like, I thought I...
02:30She just opened her mouth.
02:31Yeah, I was waiting for something.
02:32Like, can we...
02:33I think the issue is that she posted...
02:35That was crazier?
02:37A little bit.
02:37But, like, it's the fucking worst thing in...
02:41Jake Marsh.
02:41Shout out Marsh.
02:42He taught me you can't cheer in a press box.
02:45I got yelled at by him for cheering in a press box at MSG.
02:48So I think the issue is that she posted...
02:50It's not her actual reaction.
02:52Maybe it is a little bit.
02:53But the issue is that she posted it.
02:55And in her posting, it shows that she's somehow fucking biased.
02:58I think it's complete bullshit, obviously.
03:00I also hate the term Big Jay journo.
03:02Can we drop that?
03:03That was, like, 2010.
03:04I don't think that in the year 2025, it should matter if you're...
03:08I get, like, not being a fan of the press box.
03:09Listen.
03:10Like, having a reaction at the end of a game.
03:11I don't think you should be going insane the entire time on press row when a guy sitting
03:16next to you is just covering whatever.
03:18You can't be, like, motherfucking the refs.
03:20But, like, let's be honest.
03:21The beat reporters for Florida were rooting for Florida because they get more stories.
03:25And the beat reporters for Houston were rooting for Houston.
03:28They're not outward about it, but, like, that's the case.
03:29So why do we pretend, like, people don't have a rooting interest in what's going on?
03:33End of the game, too.
03:35If it's the first...
03:36Yeah, and all she did was go, like, it's...
03:37Five minutes in, you're rooting play-by-play.
03:40Chill out.
03:40Go to that tweet.
03:41You're a little professional.
03:43All right, can you just go to the blog and zoom in?
03:45Here you go.
03:46Okay, so this guy said,
03:47The easy take is to chastise cheering as a reporter, whether I like it or not.
03:51The line between fan and reporter is becoming blurry, especially with non-traditional media.
03:58Unfortunately, however, stuff like this sets back people who want to get into media and be taken...
04:05What the fuck are you talking about?
04:07What's this guy's Twitter name?
04:08No, so this is the idiot.
04:11What's his Twitter name?
04:12This is...
04:13This guy completed office.
04:15Yeah, and then he said...
04:17Joshua Newman.
04:17Can you read that, Diggs?
04:18I can't see it.
04:19Yeah, sure.
04:19This is bad.
04:21Yes, the business is different from 5, 10, 15 years ago, but if you're on press row with a credential,
04:27this is unacceptable.
04:28Fuck you, all the people that say I can't read.
04:30Ben Bailey, all these people.
04:32Yeah, I think they just...
04:33They know the change is coming, and they're still holding the guard of, like, not...
04:38Trying to let it happen, but it already has.
04:40That's the thing.
04:41They keep being like, we can't let the world change.
04:43It already has.
04:43Also, since when is sports reporting supposed to be unbiased?
04:47I thought that sports reporting, you want to have an opinion, you want to have a take.
04:49We're not reporting on the fucking, like, tariffs here.
04:52It's not facts.
04:53It's opinion-based.
04:54What about professional sports get professional media treatment?
04:57And college sports still have fandom, they still have ties to school.
05:00I mean, this is crazy.
05:02You're chastising a student reporter for UF papers.
05:07Should we hire her at Barstool?
05:08I saw one person...
05:09I heard we almost did.
05:10I saw one person was like, it doesn't matter if I'm reporting on Middle Eastern war or sports.
05:16I want people to be able to take me seriously.
05:19That's rock and roll.
05:20And so you need to be a robot to be taken seriously?
05:22Well, that was kind of my point.
05:24It's like, I want my reporter to show that they care and have passion.
05:28I think that makes it more interesting.
05:30But that...
05:30And also, like, if you want...
05:31That's kind of how the internet works.
05:32But people still write for newspapers, and then they would rather have a newspaper die than change.
05:37Do you think that the people from traditional media are mad with the...
05:42They hate it.
05:43Yeah, with all the views and...
05:46Yeah.
05:46I think that's like...
05:47I don't even know if that's really a thing anymore.
05:49Like, I feel like it was a while back.
05:51This is so rare to happen now.
05:53Like, five years ago, people were getting, like, butthurt with, like, golf media and this and that.
05:56Now I feel like everyone is on board.
05:58And if you're the person who's still hanging on to integrity and, like, whatever the hell you call it in this journalism,
06:03I think it's ridiculous.
06:06Anyway.
06:06Next topic.
06:08This is a Rico Bosco blog.
06:10Rico, take this away.
06:11Yeah, caught this last night.
06:12So if you're unfamiliar, Zach Hample is a guy who collects foul balls and home run balls and batting practice balls.
06:20I don't know what he does for a living or how he's made this a living.
06:24I will say the one compliment I guess you can give a guy is I never thought in sports somebody who collects foul balls could ever, like, be in the front of the news.
06:33You know, like, I never thought they would have storylines around.
06:35It is kind of weird that he has somehow always been in the storylines.
06:40He famously caught A-Rod's 3,000th hit, the home run, and then tried to extort him for that.
06:45I love that move.
06:47Who could ever do that?
06:48Who could ever extort someone?
06:50What's going on?
06:52Who's extorting?
06:53Nobody.
06:53No, no, wait.
06:54Who's extorting who?
06:54You don't know what you're talking about.
06:55Nobody.
06:55Little piece?
06:56Little piece?
06:57Oh.
06:57Oh, we're going back to that.
06:58Do you think you deserved a piece off that?
07:00Little piece?
07:01You think you should have caught something?
07:02How much is a little piece?
07:04How much of a piece would you want?
07:05He goes how much you want.
07:07I said 10%.
07:08So that would have been how much?
07:1020 grand.
07:11Has he ever given you a piece before?
07:13He did, the week before.
07:14So I was flying a little too close to this.
07:15You were flying to it.
07:16How much was the week before?
07:16You didn't ask for the piece.
07:175,000.
07:19And then you go back to the well for 10 more?
07:21I had to bet those.
07:21Yeah, I mean, when you're rotting high, you're rotting high.
07:24You're rotting a high.
07:25I was rotting high.
07:25So Zach Ample collects foul balls.
07:27He interferes with the ball last night over the stands.
07:31He's just the worst to do.
07:33And he loves the attention.
07:35He's taking a picture.
07:36When he did the A-Rod thing, he took a picture.
07:37I'm not giving it back.
07:38He just loves to be in the fucking mix.
07:41He's just insufferable.
07:43Can I ask a question?
07:43If you're an adult doing this, and I don't mean this in a disparaging way,
07:46are you a little bit on the spectrum?
07:49It's like, what are you doing?
07:52You go around and you're close.
07:53You at least have to pretend like you are.
07:54But is it a business?
07:55How does he make money is what my point is.
07:57He wrote a book.
07:58Okay, so it is a business, I guess.
08:00So the thing is.
08:01Oh, smash.
08:02Go back down.
08:03Zach Ample doesn't do it for attention.
08:04If he did it for attention, he'd wear a T-shirt with his name on it.
08:07Yeah, he did.
08:08He wrote a T-shirt with his name on it.
08:09He caught the ball last night, and he had his name on his T-shirt.
08:13Yeah, I mean, he does have some funny clips when he's like,
08:15watch the elbow, sir.
08:16But he's not trying to be funny.
08:18He's just, it's people let, he got smoked in the face with a ball.
08:21He fell.
08:22Like, there's some funny clips.
08:23But, like, it's just bizarre that a guy,
08:25you never would have thought a guy who could catch foul balls
08:27would ever figure out a way to get in the storylines,
08:29and he has found a way.
08:30Imagine you're going on a first date with this guy,
08:32and he shows up with a T-shirt that says his name on it
08:35and a baseball bat.
08:36Is this what he did?
08:37You're not going, he is for sure a virgin, right?
08:40I don't know.
08:41We asked Kelly, like, how hot does a guy have to be to overcome this?
08:44You know what I mean?
08:45Like, guys have weird hobbies, but, like, I'll date him
08:47because he's funny and he's hot, whatever this and that.
08:49Kelly said he would have to be Jon Hamm.
08:53Hot to overcome this.
08:54I think it's the weird, I've really been thinking about it
08:57since Big Central.
08:57I don't know what's a weirder thing that you could collect.
09:00Lisa Ann went to brunch with him?
09:03That was for attention.
09:04What year was that?
09:05I do want to give a quick shout-out to Lisa Ann.
09:08Quick shout-out to Lisa Ann.
09:09Once again, always ahead of the curve.
09:11She has licensed out her likeness to an AI company
09:15because now they have all these deep porn AI fakes.
09:17So now if a guy goes online and says,
09:20I want to see Lisa Ann riding a dolphin over the sun
09:24with a Heineken bottle in her ass,
09:26you pop that in, that can happen,
09:28and then she makes money off that.
09:29Is that not fucking genius?
09:31Anyway.
09:33Wow, that's, I'm, like, stunned by it.
09:36That's your thing?
09:37It is my thing.
09:38And the person, Quick, the person making that video of her
09:41with a dolphin and a Heineken bottle is Quiggs.
09:43Oh, 100%.
09:43Quiggs is making those videos.
09:45So he takes out mobs and does that?
09:48Yeah, exactly, yeah.
09:49Well, I guess you just, like, type in, like, a scenario.
09:51I don't know all of it.
09:52She's on Largest's show this week where she talks about it all.
09:55Just make sure you check that out.

11:01We've got another one here.
11:02John Morant fined once again.
11:04He was fined $75,000 for doing the two finger guns.
11:06This is a guy who's been in a little bit of legal trouble
11:08with some guns before.
11:09He has since changed his celebration to throwing a grenade.
11:12Was he fined for throwing the grenade?
11:14Not yet.
11:15If he has been, I haven't seen the story.
11:17So he's fined $75,000 for shooting pistol guns at the office.
11:22I'm sorry, the bench.
11:23He also famously was on.
11:25That's where the suspension came from.
11:27He was on two different lives flashing a gun.
11:30So like Adam Silver says don't do the guns,
11:34and he mocks a grenade into the stands.
11:36Like I wrote, I forget exactly how I wrote it or worded it,
11:40but I wrote like three things.
11:41He's either like really dumb in the sense that they don't,
11:46he doesn't get that they're serious about it.
11:49Two, he's just showing no remorse at all.
11:52Or like three, he's like a little bit of both in the sense that like
11:54he doesn't give a fuck.
11:56You know what I mean?
11:56Like, and it's just, it's, I don't know.
12:00Like you're an asshole to do this.
12:01You really are.
12:02Like it's, you know, mock throw a grenade into the fucking stand.
12:05I don't think, I don't think that's bad at all.
12:07Look at that.
12:08It's objectively the funniest thing that you can do.
12:12You shoot a bomb, you shoot a grenade.
12:13I don't think that's bad.
12:15It's the biggest fuck you.
12:16The way that NBA fans are trying to like act like finger guns aren't a celebration.
12:21He's like too big to fail.
12:23Yeah, but you've had problems with it in the past.
12:29Like, I don't know.
12:31He just, I don't think he gives a fuck.
12:32Also, what happened to 2A?
12:34Are we not allowed to have a second amendment?
12:362A protects 1A.
12:38We can't have freedom of speech.
12:39Symbology is freedom of speech.
12:41A gun throwing a grenade, that's symbology.
12:43We're still, we're still on the woke liberal agenda apparently.
12:47He didn't do it at the bench.
12:48He did it at the fans.
12:49Did it at the fans.
12:50Yeah, it's even worse.
12:51People paying his salary.
12:52What the old times would say.
12:54Why did Luka get kicked out the other day?
12:56I don't know.
12:56What did he do that he said something to a fan and he got randomly kicked out?
13:01Yeah, I don't know what exactly was.
13:02I mean, John Morant's a scumbag.
13:04Like, that goes without, yeah, that goes without saying.
13:07I think he's a great runner.
13:07John Morant, and I don't even want to like compare the two.
13:10There are parallels to be drawn between the people he's hanging out with the same way that Aaron Hernandez,
13:16not that they're even on the same plane, was hanging out with those fucking scumbags that he grew up with.
13:19You have how many hundreds of millions of dollars of contract?
13:22Enough with the guns, enough with the whatever.
13:25Yeah, isn't the point of being super rich that you don't have to talk to anybody?
13:30I'm super poor and I don't talk to anybody.
13:31Is that what you would do?
13:32Yeah.
13:33Talk to nobody anymore?
13:34Nobody.
13:35I think that's bullshit.
13:37You talk to people.
13:38I would still talk to people, but if I didn't want to, you don't have to.
13:41You have numbers just for fun.
13:41If you're getting a piece, you're trying to fucking talk to someone.
13:44Didn't you say yesterday you have these numbers for friendships?
13:47Yeah.
13:47Are you looking up Lukanate or no?
13:49He doesn't say what he said.
13:50Oh.
13:51What do you think he said?
13:54Something about great.
13:55Yeah, that was surprising.
13:55But yeah, I just think John Moran just his give a fuck meter is down to an all-time zero.
14:00Yeah, I think he gets – I think everything gets blown out of force.
14:03Watching him play, though, he's one of my favorite players to watch play.
14:07I want to see Mike Malone coach the Grizzlies.
14:10He reminds me of Derrick Rose.
14:11You think he was too early?
14:13He's very talented, yeah, for sure.
14:15Throw in the grenade.
14:15The grenade is so funny.
14:17I don't know how you think that's insane.
14:19I think that's like an – like, I'm going to do that tonight.
14:21It's the biggest fuck you.
14:23That's the thing.
14:24He's already been in trouble, and it's like, you know, this is the last warning, and he
14:27does it again.
14:28I don't think he meant anything by –
14:29You're a Knicks fan, right?
14:30Yeah.
14:30So it's okay when Bridges goes like this straight to the player?
14:33Who's Bridges?
14:34No, I don't think that's great either.
14:35Is Bridges a white guy?
14:37No.
14:37But I know Bridges hasn't been nailed for gun – you know, having a gun twice.
14:40So rules for thee, not for John Morant.
14:42Listen, I don't think any of them should do it.
14:43I'm very anti-gun.
14:45Are you?
14:45Ooh.
14:46A guy from Staten Island named Rico Bosco is anti-self-protection.
14:53Yeah.
14:53I don't know.
14:53Anti-gun.
14:55The more you know.
14:56What else we got going on with you guys?
14:59Anything?
15:00You're back from your trip.
15:01Your neck is fucked up.
15:02It's fucked up from the hotel.
15:05Excited to watch mini-golf today.
15:06That always brings some fireworks.
15:07Yep.
15:08Masters tomorrow.
15:09I think we'll obviously have some coverage of that.
15:10I wish you could watch golf all the time.
15:12It's gotten way better now.
15:13You can watch a lot of it, but you can't watch all of it.
15:16Fucking stupid idiots.
15:18Just stupid.
15:19Like, you want to grow the game.
15:20It's the only – let me put it this –
15:21what is the only game adults play in their free time is golf.
15:25Also hockey.
15:26Pickleball.
15:27Pickleball is gaining steam.
15:28But, like, you know –
15:29I don't like that.
15:29Not a lot of people can play basketball.
15:30People play softball here and there, but, like, golf dominates.
15:33Like, if you ask an average person in their 30s and 40s, like,
15:36what do you do with your friends and what sport do you play with your friends?
15:38It's golf.
15:38They get away from golf.
15:39Me?
15:40Yeah.
15:40About once or twice a year now.
15:41There's one outing a year.
15:42One outing a year.
15:44Right?
15:45I've never played around.
15:46I've never played around.
15:47What's the deal?
15:48Did I actually get that right?
15:49Yeah, it's in 27.
15:50Is that –
15:50I know that?
15:51Are you doing the –
15:52I play one outing a year.
15:53That's all I can really play in now.
15:54You almost couldn't play last year.
15:56Play with my friends because of my fucking guts.
15:58I've never played around.
16:00Golf?
16:01I've only done, like, charity things when you drive around.
16:04Or, like, I'm, like, basically a beer car.
16:06Yeah, it's a good day.
16:06I mean, you're out with your friends for five hours, you know?
16:09Get away from your wife.
16:10You're rooting for each other.
16:10Yeah, it's a good day.
16:11Away from the wife, away from the kids.
16:13What do you got going on?
16:15We're going out and about.
16:16Live show in Boston Thursday next week.
16:18Go to NowSheWillTour.com.
16:20A couple tickets left for that.
16:21Other than that, that's it.
16:22Just follow this Karen Reid trial.
16:24Yeah.
16:24Yeah, I opted.
16:25Dave and Dan had a very –
16:26like, we had a funny exchange on the plane.
16:27I was like, oh, I opted out of that.
16:30Like, what do you mean you opted out of that?
16:32I'm like, I just choose not to consume any of it.
16:35Yeah.
16:35I consume it daily.
16:37It's the best.
16:37It's great.
16:38Dan was like, you should put a graphic that shows, like,
16:40the same thing out here.
16:41You leave a college, like, you're opting out of a college.
16:44Portal?
16:44It is, like, Massachusetts.
16:45Don Portaling is in the true crime.
16:47Yeah, I don't know.
16:48What are you rooting for in mini golf?
16:49I could be going Portaling.
16:51I want Meek.
16:52I'm rooting for just great moments, and then it comes down to the end.
16:54But probably Kirk.
16:55Is Dave playing?
16:56Love Jeff, but –
16:56Yeah.
16:57Rooting for Dave, rooting for Meek.
16:59Like, who else – you know who's good?
17:02Ken Jack.
17:04Ken Jack, like, played the course that we did the qualifier here,
17:08and he was, like – he finished, like, under by a lot.
17:11Yeah, I think he could have been under, right?
17:12What's the prize?
17:13Do we know?
17:13Oh, I haven't announced it yet.
17:15I know it's team, so I think it's hard.
17:16Well, I didn't make it.
17:18You had to qualify.
17:18It was horrible, yeah.
17:19It was horrible in the qualifier.
17:20It was also a very gimmicky course.
17:22Now we know what to expect on June 27, huh?
17:24Exactly, yeah.
17:25I mean, it was a gimmicky course.
17:26But, yeah, I didn't have it in me that day.
17:29I think I did worse than Frank.
17:31Didn't Meek?
17:31A lot of bad holes.
17:32Didn't Meek lose?
17:33Meek did dead last.
17:34The trick – the caveat was if you're dead last, you go.
17:37How's your and Kirk relationship right now?
17:39Good.
17:40You're back on good terms?
17:41I would think so, yeah.
17:42I mean, he made fun of me last week saying,
17:43oh, we don't text about movies, but, yeah, we're good.
17:45Yeah, that's – because he kind of made it seem like
17:47you guys aren't in communication anymore.
17:49Yeah, we're good.
17:50Okay.
17:51Who are you bad with right now?
17:52Dave?
17:53No.
17:53Well, yeah, I think I –
17:54You canceled dinner?
17:55You canceled dinner because I extorted him.
17:58Would you take it back?
18:00Yeah, I would take it back.
18:01He should have just given you a piece and none of that would have happened.
18:03Nah, it was a scummy way to do it.
18:05Shout out Big Cat, too.
18:07He won – what did he put, like 25 grand on a Florida future?
18:10He won $236,000.
18:12$60,000, I think.
18:13Yeah, well, it's clear $260,000.
18:14But, yeah, he's been getting pretty good with the futures.
18:17I just want to see one go through.
18:19The one future I had a couple years ago was baseball,
18:22the Astros before the playoffs.
18:24I said, you're never going to get them in the series at this price.
18:26I took them plus $300,000.
18:28So, it was a great bet because they did win it.
18:30But, yeah, I can't get there.
18:32Yeah, I – Houston would have won me a good chunk of change.
18:37Would you have them at?
18:37I'd plus $1,000 on cap stand.
18:39You had them at 18-1?
18:40And some goals.
18:41Florida?
18:42Preseason.
18:42I mean, February?
18:43Preseason?
18:44Preseason.
18:44Damn.
18:45So, I would have won –
18:46There was a kid who closed into pick central and had Florida at 50 and 70-1.
18:49Bet them twice.
18:50What?
18:51Yeah.
18:52All right.
18:52That's the rundown.
18:53All right.
18:53That's the rundown.
