Speaker
Ball and buds in the building. And this is The Professor's Seminal Mente. I am your host, Omar.
00:01:33
Speaker
The sports professor Fonseca today, not the professor today. No, no, no. We won't be doing any U.S. world news today. We're going to keep it fun and light because there are so many things to cover in the sports world We'll have a little bit of entertainment debate as well, but we're about to get into it. We will cover. got so excited I knocked the sign sideways.
00:01:56
Speaker
We're going to get into the MLB World Series. Yes, who won it last night? We'll get into all of your rankings, NFL, college football, NBA, NHL. And then, yes, we'll get into some entertainment where I am going to go over a huge controversy of a new artificial intelligence program.
00:02:18
Speaker
Music superstar. Did you hear that correctly? Is this where we're going in the new age? Are we moving to a new age where artificial intelligence is taking over everything, including the music world? You will find out what the professor has to say in a little bit. Shout out my brother, Tanteen.

00:03:11
Speaker
Did you watch it? It was the best time. thee bet One of the best. It was definitely the best game seven we've seen in a while, probably since the Cubs won 2017. it was one of the best World Series of all time.
00:03:32
Speaker
The baseball was phenomenal. It was so exciting. All the plays being made, all the twists, all the turns, and we could get nothing better than the two greatest words in sports, a game seven.
MLB World Series Recap
00:03:49
Speaker
That's what it came down to. And lo and behold, As you see it on the screen, yes, the most hated, the new evil empire, the Los Angeles Dodgers are your 2025 Major League Baseball World Champions.
00:04:11
Speaker
I am not going to say congrats because as a Mets fan, we are rivals, but It is a news show, and I must say that they did win an awesome series. I mean, I'm a baseball purist and ah and a fan at heart first, and this was just amazing to watch. I really wish, and like many, rooting for Toronto to get the victory there. as As you can see on the screen, Dodgers just won last year as well, so now they are back-to-back champions. Wow.
00:04:43
Speaker
wow What a Game 7 it was. We talked about the twists and turns that we had throughout the series. Nothing less there in Game 7. dain And so let's get into it.
00:04:55
Speaker
What did it start with, man? It was just Max Scherzer on the hill, the warrior god, 41 years old, starting a game seven for the Blue Jays, going up against the baseball unicorn, Shohei Ohtani, who was going there as the Dodgers starting pitcher. And it was, again, just an amazing game. I can't even go through all the twists and turns that happened throughout the whole game because we'd be here all night.
00:05:24
Speaker
just like the 11-inning game it was, even though it wasn't as long as that game three, right? We know that game three went 18 innings. That was a marathon. But this one went 11 innings. Dodgers winning 5-4.
00:05:38
Speaker
ah four And, yeah, let's just skip to the end of the game. ah top Top of the ninth inning, Miguel Rojas, two outs from defeat. The Dodgers number nine hitter.
00:05:53
Speaker
Hits a game-tying solo home run. Toronto thought they had the victory. Did not happen. Then what happens?
00:06:05
Speaker
In the bottom of the ninth inning, Toronto loads the bases, ducks on a pond, baby, all three of them, just dotting the infield with ah runners that may score the World Championship winning run, but no, they did not. There was the closest play ever at the plate.
00:06:28
Speaker
ah Isaiah Kiner-Falefa getting thrown out at the plate. It was crazy. It was literally, let me give you the pro facts on this shout out, um, for, for the, uh, for the research here done by the athletic.
00:06:47
Speaker
Uh, but anyways, in the ninth inning, once they had the bar, uh, bases loaded, Dalton bar show comes up with one out, uh, uh, grounds out, right. um,
00:07:00
Speaker
or sorry, gra hit a grounder. Will Smith is the catcher for the Dodgers, right? So Will Smith, as the catcher for the Dodgers, is going to field the ball that's coming in.
00:07:13
Speaker
Isaiah Kainer-Falefa is running from third base. Come to find out, the coaches told him, and this has been apparently the philosophy for they ah ah for the Toronto Blue Jays all year long,
00:07:28
Speaker
but they hold close to third base so that they don't get doubled off on a ground, a liner to, to the, to the infield, which granted game six, they get did get doubled off on a throw from left field.
00:07:47
Speaker
ah but i I believe it was Kike Hernandez. So the they, maybe they, it was good for them to sound that way, or excuse me, act that way in the movement.
00:08:00
Speaker
If you're asking me, I don't know, man. You need to take a little bit more of the leap ah lead and the stats. Call that out. So listen to this. ah Isaiah kind of Falefa, his lead distances, right, were among the lowest in the entire World Series. And you so...
00:08:17
Speaker
you add so What does that mean, lead distances? So when you're on a base as a base runner in baseball, you take what is called a primary lead, which is your first step off the bag, couple steps off the bag, and you take a secondary lead, which is going to be a little bit more off the bag, depending on where infielders are, depending on where the defensive positions are or the defenders the offenders are positioned at, rather.
00:08:42
Speaker
That will make really depend on where your lead is going to go. Also on the pitcher, does he have a good pickoff move? ah so Is the catcher good at holding runners on base?
00:08:54
Speaker
Is the first baseman holding the runner or third baseman holding the runner to the base? In this case, the third baseman, right? So again, this is what the Blue Jays have been doing all year long. They say, hey, hold close to the bag so we don't get doubled off.
00:09:08
Speaker
You're getting too big of a lead. The primary lead that he took, was in the, or sorry, the primary and secondary leads that he took. Again, I mentioned they were lowest, ah some of the lowest in in the entire World Series, right?
00:09:22
Speaker
357th out of 381 for primary leads at 7.8 feet. And then his secondary lead was 8.9, so another 1.1 inches. Because remember, the secondary leap is never lead is never as big as the prime primary lead because you're just taking a couple extra steps to try to get a little more lead if you have the leeway to do so.
00:09:44
Speaker
That was 366 out of 376. So again, very bottom of it. Now, his sprint speed, how fast he was from third to home, 28.2 feet per second, which was 61st out of 689 of those same plays in the World Series.
00:10:05
Speaker
So he's running very fast, but taking a very short lead compared to every other play throughout the World Series. That came back to bite them as his foot, literally, his foot came down like this And the catcher's foot had come up off the bag and the catcher's foot, Will sch Smith got it back down an eighth of a second before Isaiah kind of Filippa got his foot down on home plate and he was called out and he, he, he slid or before his foot touched the plate, excuse me, because he slid.
00:10:43
Speaker
He didn't run through home plate. A lot, a lot of, consternation going around over whether should have maybe ran through home plate instead of sliding.
00:10:55
Speaker
And if he would have gotten there quickly, I am like, like you would do at first base. I am inclined to agree with that theory in this case, but we will never know. All we know is he got thrown out at home by the smallest of margins. It was,
00:11:12
Speaker
crazy And so the analysts, again, in the statistics, say that if he would have just taken one extra foot of lead, that he probably would have scored. So what else happened?
00:11:22
Speaker
I told you about the Miguel Rojas home run. You've got Yamamoto just coming off being signed to a 12-year, $325 million dollars contract. He was the prize of the offseason when it came to starting him.
00:11:37
Speaker
Pitching quickly proved his worth, winning the World Series MVP in the process through a complete game. And then came back, pitched again in game six, and then finished off game seven.
00:11:56
Speaker
Amazing performance. Pitchers just don't do this anymore. We haven't seen anything like this in a long time. And so salute to him. He very well deserved that World Series MVP for sure.
00:12:11
Speaker
LA did not blow it at the end this time. ah if If you ask me, I know baseball game ah inches.
00:12:23
Speaker
Toronto had a lot of chances. Toronto had a lot of chances to close this series out between game six and game seven, and they did not do so.
00:12:34
Speaker
And one of those pivotal moments was getting thrown off. I mentioned this earlier when they got thrown off, ah doubled off, excuse me, double play at second base when the guy thought that the ball wasn't going to be catched and he ran off the base and they got him at second before he could get back.
00:12:53
Speaker
There is no Zero excuse. Zero excuse for you to be thrown out at that venture. That is the time when you don't take that extra lead.
00:13:08
Speaker
Because first of all, you're at second. So it's a lot different. And also, you have more of a gauge to be able to see if the Alps now, granted, it was coming down quick.
00:13:19
Speaker
It didn't look like he was necessarily going to make the catch. But you just cannot. And especially the last out of the game, you just cannot. Cannot. Not the last out of the game. Not the last out of the game.
00:13:29
Speaker
Not with two outs. You just cannot. That is completely and utterly unacceptable. I'm not going to call the man by his name because he already feels bad enough, um but I'm just going to call out the error, and that was critical and cost, in my eyes, Toronto Blue Jays this World Series. Now, was it the only thing? No.
00:13:50
Speaker
As we know in sports, There's a lot of things that go into the conclusions of these games. I mean, Hoffman, the reliever for the Blue Jays, is blaming himself for giving up the home run to Will Smith, which ended it all.
00:14:03
Speaker
Will Smith, again, walk-off hero as he was last year for the Dodgers um ah in in in in multiple games. ah Just coming through in the clutch. Mr. Clutch is what they should call him.
00:14:15
Speaker
Coming through with a game winner in the 11th inning. Toronto, the Rogers Center just went silent in disbelief as their Blue Jays, again, in my eyes,
00:14:28
Speaker
had multiple chances and should have closed out the series in game six and game seven and did not and let the Dodgers again in my eyes win this series when maybe they should not have.
00:14:46
Speaker
Now, I'm not going to say better team or not better team because they're both very, very good teams. And actually, if I had to venture, I would say the Dodgers are the better team. They just didn't perform as well within the World Series.
00:14:57
Speaker
But neither here nor there because they won. And they are now back-to-back champions. ah By the way, Game 7 averaged nearly 26 million.
00:15:11
Speaker
me Viewers, most viewership for any World Series game since that aforementioned Chicago Cubs game seven victory in 2017 over the Indians.
00:15:26
Speaker
So ah what an amazing series. I love baseball. And this was just a testament to how beautiful the game can truly, truly be.
00:15:37
Speaker
Shout out to everybody watching. Appreciate you. Hey, Jen on Instagram, my girl Jennifer. Appreciate you for tuning in as always. Hope you're doing wonderful ah tonight. ah Thank you for tuning in, sweetheart.
00:15:49
Speaker
All right, cool. Let's keep it moving. But yeah, woo. Amazing World Series. Y'all make sure you subscribe to Ball and Buds, B-A-L-L-A-N-D, B-U-D-S on YouTube, and also as well, make sure you hit that like button whether watching now or in the replay. Now we move to the off.
00:16:09
Speaker
season And no, we're not going to have as great as a free agent class as we've had the past couple of years or past few years, right? We're not going to have the Otani. We're not going have the Yamamoto.
MLB Free Agency Discussion
00:16:21
Speaker
We're not going to have the Juan Soto, right? Bars on your head.
00:16:25
Speaker
I'm street professor here. ah But anyways, so the number one free agent is Kyle Tucker. Not a bad player. Good player. Very good player.
00:16:37
Speaker
Franchise cornerstone. 12-year, 10-year contract type player. I'm not so sure about that. We will debate it on our MLB season review show. Y'all tune in for that to be announced this week.
00:16:51
Speaker
We are going have it. My brother, Amul, the Agilis, Lion, Reese, Penn, and I'm not sure who else we're going to get on in that third spot, but we'll get... Somebody else on, and we're going to have that MLB season review and go through the whole season, and we'll talk about free agency then.
00:17:06
Speaker
Not enough time to talk about it now, but did you just want to mention he is the number one. Bo Bichette from the Toronto Bull Jays, the number two free agent in in Keith Law's rankings from yeah ESPN.
00:17:20
Speaker
Bo Bichette was in a lot of trade talk. for the Blue Jays. So it's possible that maybe he even signs somewhere else. So we'll see what happens there in the way too early 2026 power rankings. Also from yeah ESPN, the Dodgers are ranked number one, as you would think to be a three P champion, which would be crazy in baseball. First of all, the back to back was the first time in 25 years.
00:17:47
Speaker
So, you know, three P's just don't happen in baseball.
00:17:54
Speaker
And last, you know, is the Rockies. You already know. You already know. They sucked last year. Did not break Clubber D's White Sox record for the worst ever ah record in baseball, but they were bad enough and they will be again next year.
00:18:10
Speaker
All right. That is it. for your baseball news. Let's keep it moving. Let's get into the NFL
NFL Highlights and Power Rankings
00:18:20
Speaker
rankings. Yes, we get my NFL power rankings. Here you are.
00:18:26
Speaker
We blow that up a little bit for you. Boom. Yes, you see it. So here we are week was week 10. No, next week's week 10 finishing week nine, moving into week 10 and These are the sports professors NFL power rankings. You see Tampa Bay on and off week.
00:18:47
Speaker
Didn't play this week. So they were number one last week. And with the bye, they stay at number one. I can't move them down until they lose. At number two, Buffalo Bills taking care of business at home.
00:19:03
Speaker
beating the Chiefs, doing what needed to be done. And yes, I know a lot of people today, all of all the media heads talking about, well, they beat them in the regular season but can't ever get it done in the playoffs. And yes, that is true, as we have seen them dominate the Chiefs in the regular season but lose to the Chiefs every time in the playoffs.
00:19:26
Speaker
At some point, that's going to change. not continue to be that way, especially not with such a good QB like Josh Allen. If it was just a random team or a team with not as good a QB, maybe so.
00:19:38
Speaker
Not here, not going to be the case. At some point in time, they are going to win one of those playoff games. And as I said on the Sunday showdown yesterday, make sure y'all tune in every Sunday, 7-15 Eastern, 4-15 Pacific, after the day games, before the Sunday night game.
00:19:54
Speaker
myself, Clubber D, the combat G, Dirty Mojo, and Shane Peach. ah We talk a little NFL college football. We do the reviews and picks and everything, so y'all make sure you turn in. them But anyways, on that show, we talked about the fact that, yes, there is this dichotomy when it comes to the Bills and Chiefs regular season playoff playoff.
00:20:17
Speaker
win-loss record, but I said that I think even then, a victory over a team as hot as the Chiefs were is still substantial and could give you the positive momentum in order to be able to carry that into your next season.
00:20:33
Speaker
game, which would be in the playoffs. And I'm sure we will see again in the playoffs. So I think this might actually bode well for the bills. And actually, you know what I'm calling it now? The bills will be the chiefs in the playoffs this year. Y'all mark it down.
00:20:49
Speaker
Uh, 11, three, 2025 sports professor pro prediction moving on Philadelphia Eagles. Number three, uh,
00:21:00
Speaker
No reason for them to move down either, right? They had a bye. So no reason for them to move down. They were there. Indianapolis moving down to number four now. Uh-oh, what happened? Yes, if you didn't see, they got beat by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:21:17
Speaker
Our brother Clutch beat his Pittsburgh Steelers, dismantled. the Indianapolis Colts. But since, and Dirty Mojo pointed this out, little silver lining, even though they lost the game and even though they were winning by 14 for most of the game, you know, they only they they only lost by seven at the end and they played...
00:21:41
Speaker
a really really not ah not a Not a great team, but a really good team in the Steelers. So I didn't move them down that far since they were my number one team last week. I just went ahead and moved them down to number four. Didn't want to punish them too much for that. If it was a worse team, like what the Packers did with the Panthers, you can see they're not even in my top 10 anymore.
00:22:01
Speaker
um But the Colts, they played the Steelers. The Lions, same thing here. Same thought process for me here. They lost by three to the Vikings. Again, shout out to Dirty Mojo, my brother, ah with the silver lining. Yeah, they only lost by three in a tough divisional game to a tough...
00:22:16
Speaker
opponent and and the returning J.J. McCarthy. So you got to give them a little leeway. They were at number two, so they only slide down to number five here. no i'm been Rounding out my top 10 NFL power rankings, you got Seattle Seahawks at number six, Los Angeles Rams at number seven, New England, and this bottom
00:22:37
Speaker
yeah Y'all know this hurt my heart. Y'all know this hurt my heart. If you watch the sports professor, you know this eight, nine, and 10 ranking just hurts my heart.
00:22:48
Speaker
Makes me want to make, oh, I'm going to throw up. yeah Makes me want to, oh God. I had to rank the New England scams.
00:22:59
Speaker
The Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles used to be San Diego. Can't keep a team. Chargers as the 8-9 team. They get no play up in here as a Raiders fan.
00:23:14
Speaker
Raiders. No love for y'all. You do get the ranking because I have to be real as an NFL analyst here. and actually put them there because New England and Denver have won six in a row, y'all.
00:23:26
Speaker
I hate to say it, but they've won six in a row, and at seven and two, both deserve to be in the top ten. Los Angeles sneaking in there at six and three. The reason I put them over the Pittsburgh Steelers, the aforementioned Steelers, is because the Steelers are only have a five and three record where Los Angeles is six and three. So the win gave me them to put over the the Steelers in terms of who was going to be in that 10 spot in the power rankings all right cool so yeah really good week there good nfl week again the bills beating the chiefs for a fifth straight regular uh season meeting holding patrick mahomes to one of the lowest uh points games of the season so it's a it's a
00:24:13
Speaker
Stat that they use that says, all right, well, this is how much a player is expected to add in terms of points to their team's value. Obviously, the quarterback in the NFL is going to be the ones that add some of the most, including also running backs and wide receivers.
00:24:28
Speaker
Um, So when you're holding a quarterback to a low EPA, that means you're doing a good job. Broncos, hot take Jake. Shout out my brother, hot take Jake. His Broncos, another fourth quarter comeback. As I mentioned, they're 7-2 now, leading the AFC West over the Chargers, over the Chiefs.
00:24:47
Speaker
What a division. We talked about it before the season in the season preview. Y'all go check it out. The super season preview was awesome. We talked about how this was going to be the best division ever. in the NFL, and it's proven to be no less.
00:24:59
Speaker
A couple of injuries, prayers up. Texans QB CJ Stroud exited with a concussion on a bad helmet hit to the ground, but even more prayers to Jaden Daniels and Tyler Craft.
00:25:14
Speaker
craft the quarterback for the commanders, the tight end for the Packers, and then Joe Alt, the offensive tackle for the Los Angeles Chargers. All of them very serious injuries, including Jaden Daniels with the dislocated elbow last night on Sunday night football. It still makes me hurt.
00:25:36
Speaker
It makes me squeamish. I'm just thinking about it. I don't like seeing those kind of things. And I accidentally saw it on the TV when it and I was like, ah, I don't like it. um And yeah, sorry, Peach, that sucks. and all all the other DC fans, I know that you were kind of joking when you said you weren't going to win another game this year, and that was before ah the the game even got started and then this injury happened.
00:25:59
Speaker
ah Yeah, without Daniels, yeah, your your prophecy may have been right, and I know you didn't mean it like that, but might come true, um even though I still think Mariota is a good enough quarterback to win you a few more games. we'd have to We'll have to look at the schedule next Sunday.
00:26:14
Speaker
Again, y'all check out Sunday Showdown every Sunday. Come check us out. We're talking all the NFL and college football, and I'll be talking college football in just a second. By the way, there was a huge dichotomy in terms of game results. I mentioned this yesterday on Sunday Showdown as well, but after the week we had last week where there was only one game that was decided In 10 points or less this week, we had nine games decided by less than seven points, five of them by less than three. It was an awesome yeah week just of close games and hard hitting good football.
00:26:50
Speaker
Who has the best Super Bowl odds? Surprisingly, even after Packers loss to the Panthers, which my eyes is a bad loss, you cannot lose to the Panthers at home. I don't care if they are 5-4, but the Packers are still 5-2-1. They've still got one of the better records in the league.
00:27:12
Speaker
They still have, in terms when you look at strength of schedule and everything else, the Super Bowl's best odds at 11%. The Patriots, though, surprisingly, the New England scams lead the NFL in playoff probability. ninety seven percent 97% chance they say that the Patriots, the scams, will make the playoffs.
00:27:34
Speaker
They would have to lose four in a row to not to just to fall out of the playoff race. So that's pretty crazy seeing how, ah you know, just a couple years ago they were in the pig pen.
00:27:46
Speaker
They were booty juice, as we call them. And I was actually happy. I thought for once I was going to be able to laugh at the Patriots for years and years and years to come. But no, they had to go out and pick Jake May, who has been nothing more than a fantastic quarterback.
00:28:01
Speaker
The Cowboys, on the other hand, 3-4-1 going into tonight, which we will talk about. i give you my game. prediction ah here at the end. Actually, i gave it yesterday anyways, but ah now that we have updated information that Kyler Murray will actually have a role in this game. He won't start, but they say he will play some plays.
00:28:21
Speaker
I have an updated score. Cowboys have a 12% chance to make a playoff, so they are in a deep hole. Even though their record is three four and one they're going to need a lot more ah wins to be able to come out of it. Now, that being said,
00:28:35
Speaker
Dak Prescott is having ah one of, if not the best year of his career. So you could possibly see it happening. By the way, NFL trade deadline is tomorrow. So we will see what trades come fast and furious tomorrow. The huge trade that we had today, Jalen Phillips traded from the Dolphins to the Eagles. Yes.
00:29:04
Speaker
Pro Bowl defensive end Jalen Phillips. I would shout him out as a UCLA Bruin because that's where he actually came and started college at, but he left us after one year to go to Miami. So I don't like claiming them, but he's a great player. And I knew he would be a guy that's so crazy right now. Some of these players, you know, they're going to be so good in the NFL, especially defensive players.
00:29:27
Speaker
but they're just like not as great in college. And I get it. You can scheme a lot more in college. There's a lot more game variability. There's a lot more player variability. So I do understand that, but still like he wasn't but anyway, it doesn't really matter. He's great. Now he was traded to the Eagles.
00:29:46
Speaker
We will give you updates next week off who gets traded over tomorrow's trade deadline. All right. That is your NFL news. Hold on, camera. Stop moving for a second on me. Thank you.
00:29:59
Speaker
That is your NFL news, by the way. If you have Disney and YouTube, and I know Clubber D was ah complaining about this on yesterday's Sunday showdown because he has this set up.
00:30:11
Speaker
But if you do have the YouTube's ah Disney versus YouTube TV blackout right now, You may not be able to watch. but Well, you can watch it depending how you want to go about it.
00:30:24
Speaker
There are certain ways you can go about watching these games. That being said, nothing that we advocate here on this program. ABC and ESPN remained blacked out over the weekend for 10 million YouTube TV subscribers, they which YouTube TV, y'all, you may not think,
00:30:45
Speaker
that it's a huge distribution platform, but they are the number four distributor for ah streaming. And but I guess you can't call it linear TV anymore, but streaming TV in the United States.
00:30:57
Speaker
More than 20 Disney owned channels were affected. Monday night football tonight at risk. This is the largest carrier dispute ah since 2024 when, if you remember last year, DirecTV blacked out Monday Night Football opener, which I remember because I have DirecTV.
00:31:18
Speaker
YouTube TV, so it happened to me last year. so you know just It's going to be happening every year with these changing streaming rights and media deals. It's going to be happening all the time where going things like this happen, especially in sports, because that's where they black a lot of things out is live sporting events.
00:31:37
Speaker
All right. Awesome. Thank y'all for tuning in. move ah Make sure you subscribe, excuse me, at Ball and Buds, B-A-L-L-A-N-D-B-U-D-S on YouTube. Hit that like button whether watching now or on the replay. Let's move it on into college football.
College Football Rankings Analysis
00:31:52
Speaker
Yes, just... Like, it was crazy, the dichotomy, right? So last week, we had an exciting college football week, but kind of a down NFL week in terms of game scores, comparisons, things like that. And then this week, it was flipped.
00:32:08
Speaker
We had a good ah NFL, and we had a so-so college football weekend. So let's go ahead and get into that college football weekend and let you know what happened. We're going to show you the AP Top 25. So here you go.
00:32:24
Speaker
There is your AP Top 25, the Ohio State Buckeyes, still at number one, Indiana University, the Hoosiers, Wowsers, still on a great roll. And by the way, they are the only team to score 50 points three times this season. That offense led by quarterback Fernando Mendoza is explosive.
00:32:54
Speaker
Alabama at number four. Canteen, your Georgia Bulldogs there at number five. The Oregon Ducks at number six. Ole Miss number seven. BYU eight.
00:33:07
Speaker
Texas Tech nine. Notre Dame ten. ah You'll see Vandy slip down to 15. Tennessee to 23. For those of y'all here in Tennessee, Memphis moves up to 22. Now,
00:33:21
Speaker
now This is the thing, y'all, when we're looking at college football, and you can see the college football bracket there on the right-hand side, you are not truly out anymore until you are truly out.
00:33:36
Speaker
And I said it at the beginning of the year this year. I said... that we were going to have a three-loss three lost team excuse me make the playoffs, and it was probably going to happen this year. And it's looking like that will be the case. But also, at some point, with all the parity, NIL deals, all of the transfer portal and movement in college football, we're going to be able to see a bunch of different teams coming up and a bunch of different teams coming.
00:34:07
Speaker
going down on a yearly basis to the to the point where you're able to see schools like Vanderbilt get into the top 25 when they're not known as a football school.
00:34:19
Speaker
So we're going to see this parity. We're going to see a lot of teams that are getting in. We're going to see a three-loss team this year get in, and we'll probably see even a four-loss team sooner rather than later.
00:34:32
Speaker
But let's blow this up again. Look at the playoff bracket. on your right-hand side. Let go ahead and blow that up fully for y'all. But yeah, go ahead and take a look at that playoff bracket on the right-hand side. Again, courtesy of The Athletic. Thank you here and courtesy of ON3 for the AP Top 25 poll. Shout out to them. Y'all subscribe, follow them on Instagram, ON3 for all the amazing Top 25 graphics. But Athletic provided us this bracket here. You can see it checks This is projected.
00:35:00
Speaker
So you'd have Texas Tech, BYU, Georgia, Memphis, Ole Miss, Notre Dame, Oregon, Virginia all playing within that first round. Ohio State, Alabama, Indiana, Texas A&M getting the power four buys there.
00:35:15
Speaker
So that's what the projected bracket looks like as of now. Again, thank you to the Athletic for that and to 0-3 for the AP Cardinals. poll top 25. But yeah, that's what it looks like at this point with just a few weeks left in the season before we actually get to this playoff bracket being filled out. So there will obviously be some changes in the weeks to come, but definitely wanted to just show y'all that.
00:35:42
Speaker
All right. By the way, the big news in college football is all the buyouts. Auburn has now fired coach Hugh Freeze owes him $15.8 million. dollars In a buyout, look, y'all, this is nearing a hundred expected excuse me nearly in buyouts in college football so far this season and expected to pass two hundred million soon here's your prof fact for this there there has been
00:36:14
Speaker
I guess I should get my pro facts right if I was going to have now. I conf confused myself on the number. I'm doing so many numbers over here. think it's been 12 coaches fired. It's five more than the most ever at this point in time for the past, not most ever, but for the past like 15 years.
00:36:29
Speaker
um So that's pretty crazy that so many coaches have been fired this year. And a lot of them are owed a lot of big buyouts because nowadays these agents, these super agents are the ones that are negotiating these deals for these coaches and are allowing Brian Kelly to get 53 million, allowing James Franklin to get 50 million. Like this is crazy. None of these coaches should have these buyouts. None of these coaches are worth that. What are yeah I was about to say Vince Lombardi, although he was an NFL coach, so I guess I could have used um Bo Schembechler. There you go. Shout out to my boy, Clutch B. Yeah, so come on now. Let's like let's be real about this.
00:37:13
Speaker
Let me get off my soapbox there. Anyways, all right, moving on.
New NBA Tournament Introduction
00:37:20
Speaker
NBA, NHL, yes, you see it.
00:37:24
Speaker
The NBA Emirates Cup going on right now started Halloween night. You ask Omar, what the hell is the Emirates Cup? And the sports professor says something new that the NBA invented to inject more excitement into the players for regular season play.
00:37:43
Speaker
because players got to the point where they didn't really care until April or May and didn't actually start playing hard until then. So they invented this crazy little thing called the Emirates NBA Cup.
00:37:55
Speaker
And it's just a, again, a a regular season tournament that they invented to inspire harder play. Anyways, usually it's a bad team that wins this because the harder, the better teams know that they don't need to win this season.
00:38:11
Speaker
I don't want to say stupid, but it's not as important in weight, not even close ah to the actual Larry O'Brien championship. So ah again, whatever, it's cool. They got the cool courts. I do like that court design. Some of them are ugly, but a lot them are cool.
00:38:27
Speaker
And my Celtics, they're one of those that will probably win the cup because it's one of those, you know, not as good teams that usually wins it every year. But just wanted to let you know that that's what's going on now in the NBA and other and NBA news.
00:38:42
Speaker
Wowzers news out of Memphis.
Ja Morant Controversy
00:38:46
Speaker
Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies are having a real bad problem after last night's game.
00:38:54
Speaker
Ja Morant only logged eight points on 14 shots. And after every question in the post game, ah news questions where they go in the locker room.
00:39:07
Speaker
Every question they asked, his answer was, go ask the coaching staff. And then the last question was what he believes they could do aside from going to ask the coaching staff.
00:39:18
Speaker
And he was like, well, according to them, they don't want me to play, honestly. So, I mean, look, they fired they fired Taylor Jakes last year. ah The coach tried to hope that that would solve the issue, but it never has been.
00:39:34
Speaker
John Morant, make no doubt about it, is an NBA basketball superstar. No doubt about it. He is a superstar at the game of basketball. But he's also a superstar at being a distraction to the team.
00:39:49
Speaker
And being in the situation he's been in, it's been more often than not him that has been the one to bring the distraction to the Grizzlies. And not that the Grizzlies...
00:40:05
Speaker
I mean, they were possibly on their way to becoming a good team again, like when they when they had the the the wasnt the tough and grit team back in the day. But at this point, it's it's it's got to be done.
00:40:20
Speaker
It's got to be done. There's two years remaining on his contract, and you have to believe that the Grizzlies would still get a haul just because, again, he's a superstar when it comes to being an actual basketball player.
00:40:34
Speaker
And since he is a superstar, he can command a lot in the trade market. You would be able to get multiple first round picks for him. And at this point, I think the relationship is too strained with the Grizzlies.
00:40:50
Speaker
I believe at this point, it's too far gone. They've been through too much together. It's like a ah jaded couple, right? That has just been through so many breakups and they just keep getting back together and keep breaking up and keep getting back together and keep breaking up. It's like, yo, just end it.
00:41:06
Speaker
Just end it. Just be done. Just go your separate ways. Mutually, whatever the hell you want to call it. Grizzlies get good picks back. John Moran gets to go somewhere that possibly, you know, maybe a a better veteran presence. you know like If you had said you were going to send John Morant to the Warriors last year instead of Jimmy Butler, I would accept that because Draymond Green and Steph Curry will be able to be provide that veteran presence to hopefully be able to just like keep the distractions minimum.
00:41:41
Speaker
He didn't have that in Memphis. There was no one. And so he was the big dog. And so they let him get away with a lot more stuff than normally would happen.
00:41:53
Speaker
So we'll see what happens there, but he's definitely going to be traded probably sooner rather than later. He was suspended one game for his comments, so we'll keep you updated next week and let you know if he's been traded not by then.
00:42:07
Speaker
Your NBA power rankings, though. Oklahoma City Thunder, only undefeated team in the league, 7-0. Wow, just off to another great start. and I mean, they just they look like they're โ they're not going to be able to be beat again this year.
00:42:23
Speaker
They are number one in defensive rating and number seven in offensive rating. And you know, if you've listened to the sports professor before that, I always say if you're going to be a true contender and yes, there are outliers. And so there have been teams that weren't in the top 10 necessarily in some of these categories, but for the majority of NBA players,
00:42:45
Speaker
title contending teams, you got to have a top 10 offense and defense when it comes to in terms to ratings. And they have that. Who else has that? The number two ranked Denver Nuggets coming back strong.
00:43:01
Speaker
Woo, looking good. um Now they did lose ah couple games there early. But if you look at the statistics, the underlying ratings, listen to this.
00:43:13
Speaker
They've got the number three offense and the number four defense. So they're not even top 10. They are top five is the Denver Nuggets in both offensive and defensive ratings. So even though their record is three and two, I can tell you that right now, that record will have positive regression.
00:43:31
Speaker
Because you look at those underlying metrics, those statistics that show you this is a much much better team than that record would indicate. And you know you're listening to the professor, so you know you're going to get only taught the correct things here on this program.
00:43:45
Speaker
The professor Seminole meant it. Los Angeles Lakers at number three in your NBA.com power rankings, up six spots at five and two. Not as great here in their underlying metrics. Number eight offense, number 17 defense for the Fakers.
00:44:05
Speaker
But the thing about that is, okay, so... They say defense wins championships, right? In mostly all sports.
00:44:16
Speaker
That's like the cliche. And it used to be true in the NBA as well. When the defenses had a lot more things they could do, hand checking, things like this were in vogue. It's a lot more of an offensive league now.
00:44:29
Speaker
So remember when I said usually top 10 for two contenders? If those outliers are usually going to happen, it's going to more than it's going to be more than likely now in the NBA that that team has a top 10 offense and probably like a top 15, top 20 defense.
00:44:47
Speaker
That would usually, on the most part, be the outlier. So we'll see what happens there. That could still bode well for them. But again, I like to see you be in the top 10 in both of those. Let's look at another one here.
00:45:00
Speaker
The Houston Rockets, number four in your NBA.com power rankings, the number one offense in the league. but the number 12 defense. So again, just outside there. Now you could have seen this coming, bringing in Kevin Durant.
00:45:15
Speaker
Your team is going to get offensively better, but probably have to sacrifice a little bit of defense in that case as well. So that's all right. Again, fringe top 10 there for the def defense, so they should be good going forward.
00:45:28
Speaker
And then finally at number five in your NBA.com power rankings, the Milwaukee Bucks. Yes, they are playing very, very good defense. basketball y'all I saw a stat it said because it was one of those stats that tried to fake you out at first bury the lead sort of thing it said Giannis averaging whatever it was 24.3 or whatever it was points and I was like oh okay and then it said from the paint and it said he's averaging 30 whatever 2.5 or whatever he's averaging 35.5 points overall so Giannis is tearing up
00:46:05
Speaker
ah the basketball court right now. They have the number four offense in the league, but as has been the issue with Milwaukee the past few years, the defense has been lacking.
00:46:18
Speaker
They are number 18 in defensive rating. So yeah yeah they definitely want to see that step up there. I do not want to hear any besmirchment of the great name of Glenn Dock Rivers.
00:46:33
Speaker
And then rounding out your top 10, the Golden State Warriors, 6, New York Knicks, 7, Cleveland Cavaliers, 8, San Antonio Spurs, 9, Minnesota Timberwolves, 10. I want to make a note, though.
00:46:49
Speaker
The San Antonio Spurs at number nine. Not only are they five and one, but they have the number nine offense and the number two defense led by the alien Victor Wimanyama. So, hey.
00:47:06
Speaker
Look out for the San Antonio Spurs to be a, they are a true title contender in only Wembe's third year, which is awesome for them. So we will see what happens there.
00:47:19
Speaker
Let me bring this back up for you. The NHL power rankings here.
NHL Power Rankings Update
00:47:24
Speaker
You'll see those there on the right-hand side. So for our NHL power rankings this week, out to OnThePowerPlay,

Speaker
shout out to on the power play For the graphic, appreciate on the power play. Y'all make sure you subscribe or follow them on Instagram. New Jersey Devils at number one.
00:47:44
Speaker
ah Utah Mammoth. Yes, you said what? The Utah Mammoth sports professor. Yes, the Utah Mammoth, the hockey team. Utah does have a hockey team. Yes, they are the expansion team.
00:47:55
Speaker
As I mentioned last week, NHL expansion teams can be better than most expansion teams in other sports because the NHL does a really good job of allowing expansion teams to poach good players from teams and not just shitty players, where other sports will let teams just leave open...
00:48:13
Speaker
all the the less mediocre players, the NHL actually makes it. So the teams have to open up at least one or two good players here and there out of like the five that they open up.
00:48:24
Speaker
So that's why expansion teams are able to be so good so quickly in the NHL. Cause Utah is brand new. they They just started eight games ago or whatever it is. Clutch bees, Pittsburgh penguins coming in at number three, number four,
00:48:40
Speaker
got the Winnipeg Jets. And then at number five, the Carolina Hurricanes. Number six, ah the Montreal Canadiens. Shout out to D.C. Number seven, the Washington Capitals.

Thank you again. o and three, shout them out for these graphics they provide on Instagram. Super awesome. ah to them. right, cool. Now,
00:52:18
Speaker
Let's move it on. I do want to go through a mixed bag real quick before we get into the entertainment world. The WNBA and the WNBPA, the Players Association, agree to a 30-day extension on labor negotiations. So if you remember, the deadline was last Friday for the WNBA and their Players Association to come to an agreement.
00:52:42
Speaker
They are not anywhere close, as you've heard, on this program here before from me. I gave you all the whole backstory on this. They are far apart in terms of a deal. They agree to a 30-day extension.
00:52:53
Speaker
We'll see if that actually happens or if it's one of those Donald Trump extend the terrace for 30 days kind of thing. yeah We'll see. Sounds like it's more like one of those with how far my sources tell me they are apart.
00:53:05
Speaker
The National Women's Soccer League Racing Louisville claims the final playoff spot after four straight seasons, get this, of finishing the last the last or the first spot
WNBA and NWSL Updates
00:53:18
Speaker
out. excuse me So finishing one spot out four years in a row.
00:53:22
Speaker
Heartbreak for Racing Louisville. Making their first playoff appearance ever. Shout out to the ladies at Racing Louisville in the National Women's Soccer League.
00:53:33
Speaker
Finally, New York City Marathon. We had some historic finishes last night. First of all, shout out to Helen O'Beary, who set the women's course record, ah marking her as one of the greatest distant runners of all time from Kenya, and also her compatriot from Kenya, Benson Kipruto, won the men's New York City Marathon by the closest margin in history, 0.16 seconds.
00:54:10
Speaker
A photo finish. This has never happened before at the New York City Marathon. Basically, one guy got ahead with like 20 meters left, and then the other guy was like, no, i can't let this happen. this He started kicking, kicking. And if you're watching the video, I'm just thinking, man, if I'm that guy that was kicking and I'm the one catching up,
00:54:31
Speaker
He didn't look like he ran out of energy. He looked like he had run out of time. I'm like, man, you gotta you got to start that run earlier. Like, yeah it would be better for you to start the run earlier and possibly run out of gas and lose that way than start too late and lose because you didn't time it right, even though you still have the energy.
00:54:50
Speaker
because it looked like he could have passed him. And it looked like if he would have even kicked a little harder at the end, he could have passed him. Maybe they're best friends and we don't know. And he didn't really care if he won. Maybe he won and win some sort of thing.
00:55:01
Speaker
There's nothing wrong with that. I would never say anything against anyone who wanted to help a friend have a good outcome because they felt that that person needed an uplifting in their life and was willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good, ah you know, just like Jesus would.
00:55:19
Speaker
i don't see anything wrong with that. And I won't say that I've never done anything like that before. Woo. right. Let's move it on. Monday night football. Let me give you my score. Yesterday I said, because they told me, bad information from Clubber D and Shane Peach telling me that Kyler Murray was not playing when I thought I had heard he was questionable and that he might have a role.
00:55:44
Speaker
He is going to have a role. They say he will have some plays. So I'm going to say that ah that makes the game closer. It's not going to be a blowout anymore. I still don't think they'll win because Kyler Murray is not going to start or play the whole game. He's just going packages.
00:55:58
Speaker
So I still think the Cardinals lose. It's not going to be as bad as of ah of a loss because Kyler Murray plays very well at Dallas Stadium. He hasn't never lost at Cowboys Stadium, actually. There's your pro fact. So I think that the Cardinals only lose this game now by probably instead. think I said it was 21 points yesterday. I think I said like 31 to 10. I'm going to say I'm going to say 31, 21.
00:56:23
Speaker
31-21, Cowboys still win, but closer tonight. And then finally, I mentioned college basketball is back. Good games tonight. the nu the The first or the best ranked game tonight in the men's version, number three, Florida versus number 13, Arizona.
00:56:41
Speaker
will take place here in just a little bit in Las Vegas. So y'all make sure you go out and support the college basketball over 300 Division I games. We call that. Shout out to Tony Reale of Around the Horn fame.
00:56:54
Speaker
Bonnet! Bonnet! Yes, indeedy. You know you got to feed the needy, baby.
00:57:05
Speaker
The sports professor is with you. Make sure you subscribe to Ball and Buds, B-A-L-L-A-N-D-B-U-D-S on YouTube. Hit that like button, whether watching now or on the replay. and We got one more story left ah because I got a little a little controversial story here.
00:57:23
Speaker
Let's check it out. What happened?
AI in Music Industry Debate
00:57:26
Speaker
ah There is AI music superstar. So you're asking what?
00:57:33
Speaker
Yes. An AI artificial intelligence artist named Shania Monet actually made number one on the adult R&B chart.
00:57:52
Speaker
Yes. Did you hear that correctly? An AI artist has officially been named number one on the music charts in the R&B category.
00:58:07
Speaker
Now, a lot of consternation about this topic here. A lot of controversy. And this started a few years ago.
00:58:18
Speaker
You'll remember when the Screen Actors Guild, they had the strike due to the fact that AI was starting to come into play and people didn't want to lose their originality. People didn't want all of these other people using AI tools to help them to make, ah you know, artistic works or creative works. They found that to be fraudulent And I can completely understand that side of the coin. As an artist myself, I can completely understand because when I write my music, I like to write my all of my own lyrics.
00:58:51
Speaker
Now, I say that as a hip-hop MC. There's a other side to that coin. Hip-hop especially is a genre that is very much known to sample from other genres to make their beats.
00:59:07
Speaker
So technically,
00:59:10
Speaker
what's the difference of sampling a previous artist versus just having AI make the music for you? So I can see both sides of the coin here. And no, I'm not doing the six, seven thing. Sorry about that.
00:59:23
Speaker
I'm just saying I'm doing both sides of the coin. Right. And we'll get to that in just second, too, because I got to get on my high horse about that bullshit. But anyways, let me get on this first. I see both sides of the coin.
00:59:35
Speaker
I do. I see both sides of the argument. Yes. Yes. It is AI is a tool that allows you to automate. AI is a tool that allows you to be to create without a lot of effort.
00:59:51
Speaker
So, yes, nowadays you can create songs in one second by just telling the AI what you want the song to be. Now, does that mean it's going to be perfectly polished to be a number one single? No. No.
01:00:04
Speaker
No, you're going to have to polish it after that. Again, I see both sides of the argument, right? So
01:00:14
Speaker
if, and I just want to take it from her point of view, from the actual person behind the AI creation, there is an actual person behind the AI creation. Uh, and she is an actual artist.
01:00:30
Speaker
She's a poet. Um, the issue is, and I don't know her personally, and I don't want to proclaim that im that I know this is the reason why, but I was thinking to myself when I found out that this poet named Talisha Jones, so shout out to her for being able to even create something like this that would go number one on the charts, A-R-A or not, salute to her,
01:00:57
Speaker
But I was thinking about it and I was like, well, what if you are a poet, right? But what if you don't have the skills to sing like me? I always wanted to sing, but my voice sucks and I can't sing a lick.
01:01:13
Speaker
So if I wanted to use my lyrics to create to put into AI, to create a song, why is that so bad? Why shouldn't the poet who maybe doesn't have the vocal talents, why shouldn't they be allowed to prosper as well in the music scene?
01:01:33
Speaker
Why can't the person with a bad voice who can write really good lyrics? I mean, hip-hop, there's ghostwriters too. So you could do that. Yes, you could write for someone else, an artist who can sing, but why not make all the money yourself?
01:01:47
Speaker
So again, ah see both arguments here, but a lot of people are upset saying it's not right. shouldn't be able to use AI to create music or movies. You shouldn't have to do it all from your own mind. And again, I understand that as an artist, but also as a hip hop artist where you sample beats and there's ghost writers and and, even in country music where there's a bunch of ghost writers here, I just interviewed a ghost writer a couple of weeks ago. You can check out the IG for little David Wilkins. Shout out.
01:02:16
Speaker
But If that's the case, why don't they deserve to shine? And why should they have to give that to another artist and share in all the profits when it's their lyrics? So I can see that too. And I kind of like, eh, that makes sense too.
01:02:31
Speaker
So what happened? How was I supposed to know? Again, created by Talisha Jones is an AI artist. artist by the name of Shania Monet.
01:02:41
Speaker
It's crazy. Now, I can't play this, obviously, for copyright infringement ah reasons, but I went and listened to the song, and it's a damn good song. I'm not even, I ain't even gonna hold you right now.
01:03:00
Speaker
I am not even going to hold you right now. It is a really good song. It's AI created, but it sounds polished. The lyrics are good. It's... the It's a good song. I'm not even mad at it. So I'm i'm torn.
01:03:17
Speaker
I'm like, naty i'm like ah wow. Taking it back in the shout-out, Natalie Imbruglia, a shout-out here on the Professor Seminole Mentor. do you like that one? I'm a little torn, like Natalie, on this one.
01:03:30
Speaker
I am up in the air on whether or not I like... the artist being AI generated or not, but I can say that I do, I do understand completely.
01:03:43
Speaker
I do. I do. All right. Also rest in peace, Bob Trumpy. And you may say, Omar, who is Bob Trumpy and why are you giving him an RIP?
01:03:55
Speaker
You don't even know him. You're right. And it's not because his last name is Trumpy and has nothing to do with President Donald Trump. Bob Trumpy was a Bengals, Cincinnati Bengals football legend and longtime radio and TV announcer.
01:04:10
Speaker
And I wanted to wish him a rest in peace. And again, you're probably asking why. And it's not because he's a football player and it's not because he was a broadcaster. for the Bengals.
01:04:22
Speaker
ah But it was for him as a human because there is a ah there is a story that I read about the man that when he worked, he took up a job at a radio station, I guess in Cincinnati.
01:04:37
Speaker
But anyways, one night he was working in the radio station and a frantic young lady called in and the young lady was describing to him that his that her significant other was abusing her or possibly abusing to her, alluding to this abuse of sorts.
01:05:02
Speaker
And Bob Trumpy, instead of ah like most normal radio host would do, may have either you know thought that maybe it was a prank call or ah maybe even hung up before they even got to what the lady had to say because they're frantic and on the radio, you got to be careful with those sort of things, FCC regulations, those sort of things.
01:05:24
Speaker
He realized that it was a call for help. He realized that this was an actual emergency and that something needed to be done. And it was a mental health emergency because she was talking about committing ah committing suicide, taking her life.
01:05:42
Speaker
And he talked to her for two hours on the radio, live on air, kept her on the phone until finally he was able to get her son on the phone and was able to get the address and the phone number. And he called the police and stayed on the phone until they were able to come get her and she was unharmed.
01:06:01
Speaker
And that is a true meaning of love as a human being. And that's how we should all be for our fellow humans We should all treat each other with that brotherly and sisterly love like Bob Trumpy did. So no, I'm not here to recognize his accolades in football or his accolades as an announcer. No, no, no, no, no. I'm here to recognize him as a human for his empathetic ways and recognizing that sometimes people are in actual need of help and sometimes just don't need a handout
01:06:40
Speaker
but sometimes just need a friend. Sometimes just need a hug. Sometimes just need a helping hand. Be that helping hand.
01:06:52
Speaker
Reach out to someone in need. Help someone else that could very much just need a hello, just need a smile from you for them not to want to do something that they may regret later.
01:07:12
Speaker
So love each other, be kind to each other. don't Don't allow the division in this world to bring us apart. Treat each other with the same level of respect and kindness that you want yourself to be treated as the golden rule, as we say.
01:07:30
Speaker
Now, I probably should have saved that story for last because I like to end on a positive note. So I probably should have saved that story for last. I did my organization of those last two stories incorrect because now this last story.
01:07:43
Speaker
Oh, no, no, no, no. The professor, the professor got a little axe to grind, got a little Peter Griffin grinding my gears action going on right now.
01:07:56
Speaker
You know what saying? What's blowing the professor's mind? as I used to say on the professor's, the mind of the professor. I'll bring that back. That segment. What's blowing the professor's mind today?
01:08:10
Speaker
You know what's blowing my mind today, brother? whole Colgan voice, rest in peace. um No, i'm going about to be my I'm about to be the old man on the lawn. I am. I am about to be the old man on the lawn shouting at the clouds.
01:08:24
Speaker
I pride myself. The professor prides himself. on an immaculate and extensive vocabulary.
01:08:37
Speaker
People often ask why I know so many big words, how I learn so many big words. And the answer in truth to the question is that I used to study the dictionary growing up.
01:08:49
Speaker
Shit, even when I was in the military, I remember there'd be long nights at the Pentagon. where we would be just be bored on mission sometimes. And obviously you can't go do anything. You can't play games. You can't get, you're still on mission, but there might be a dictionary there that you could crack open and study some words. And I would just flip to different pages and just study different words.
01:09:09
Speaker
But I used to do it as a kid too. Um, So that's how my vocabulary became so extensive. I would just flip to different pages, point to a word and learn that word. And I would do that multiple times a day.
01:09:20
Speaker
So that's how my vocabulary got so big. So I pride myself on on my vernacular, on ah the way that I can express myself through language.
01:09:36
Speaker
And unfortunately, kids these days, Brain rot is true, y'all. Social media, and I know as a professor of digital marketing of social media, I teach it to people.
01:09:49
Speaker
I can tell you it is a cesspool of brain rot. It is a horrible place for our children to be. And it's only proven more and more through their lexicon, through how they a yeah how they are exuberantly portraying themselves.
01:10:09
Speaker
How they are
01:10:16
Speaker
adding their own flair. And I know you can say it happens every generation. And yes, it does. Every generation comes up with their new slang. I know, yeah, we used to have yo and dude and hey in my generation. Whatever.
01:10:31
Speaker
Fine. Got it. Cool. Whatever. But it's gone too far. Okay? it's It's finally gone too far. And I am going to put my hands up right now.
01:10:44
Speaker
And I am going to have, am going to get on my soapbox. And I'm about to go on a huge rant. Because I pride myself on knowing a lot of words. And we've been tested.
01:10:56
Speaker
We've been tested. There have been a lot of us. in the linguistics field that have been tested this year. Everything from stupid skibbity, toilet, bullshit, to anything else giving.
01:11:11
Speaker
Don't be giving me anything before I give you an ass whooping. Okay? That shit's just stupid, giving. Just say it seems like. Okay?
01:11:23
Speaker
We got time for this shit, get giving. I'm about to give you my two cents on y'all's dumbass vocabulary. Because now, and I am so pissed, I'm boycotting dictionary.com.
01:11:38
Speaker
I had the app my phone. I deleted it. I'm not going to their website anymore. I'm going strictly Merriam-Webster's now. ah No. No. No dictionary.com.
01:11:50
Speaker
No. Bad. Bad. Bad dictionary.com. Bad dictionary.
01:11:58
Speaker
These mofos. at dictionary.com, have declared, and don't know who the hell made you the declaration, dictionary.com.
01:12:10
Speaker
I want Merriam-Webster on this one.
01:12:14
Speaker
They said that six seven is a word. Yes, the stupid trend you see of the kids doing the hand signals, 6-7, 6-7. I'm a dumbass.
01:12:28
Speaker
Shut the Where's mine is my, where's my shit? Where's my soundbite? This is for all of Generation Alpha and y'all saying this dumb bullshit.
01:12:41
Speaker
This is for all y'all. Get fuck out here. What the fuck is a golem? Some monster Frankenstein. Get the fuck out of here. don't you get the fuck out of here? Come on, get the fuck out of here. Stop wasting my time.
01:12:52
Speaker
ah get the Stop wasting my time. Ain't nobody got time for this. Ain't nobody got time for that.
01:13:01
Speaker
6-7 is not a word. They are two numbers put together to meet a slang phrase, not even a word.
01:13:11
Speaker
And if you really want to know what the song comes from and you really want to know what the song is about, which nobody really wants to do their research, not very hard, go listen to the song.
01:13:24
Speaker
It's a drill rap song. clearly meant to in and in instigate violence on the streets. Which, hey, look, um ah I'm a hip-hop MC.
01:13:35
Speaker
I do rap. I have no problem with it. But that's what it is.
01:13:41
Speaker
So they probably wouldn't be using it, especially a bunch of young white kids, if they actually knew the underlying meaning. Neither here nor there. It's still not a fucking word.
01:13:54
Speaker
it's a It's loosely a phrase and not even that because a phrase needs to be word-based. It is a number-based phrase as I'm just making up right now because it's not a word and I don't care what dictionary.com says and don't care what these stupid brain rock kids say.
01:14:17
Speaker
Take your stupid brain Generation whatever. Z alpha slang. And get the fuck out of here. Because the professor.
01:14:30
Speaker
Who actually teach.
01:14:34
Speaker
Teaches. Excuse me. As I'm trying to correct you on your grammar. Teaches.
01:14:42
Speaker
And who's taught. At universities. Plural. I could tell you that's not a word. And that's all I'm going to say about that. for Y'all got me so pissed off.
01:14:55
Speaker
I was about to mess up my grammar. I ain't got no time for this dictionary.com. That's what blows the professor's mind. I should have switched those stories around because now I'm um ending with an elevated heart rate.
01:15:06
Speaker
and blood pressure when I should have just ended on the positive note. Let's go back to the positive note. Y'all be kind to each other out there. Y'all be safe. Y'all be successful this week. Help each other out.
