00:04:17
Speaker
But if I don't, because um they asked me to go cover a concert down at the Franklin Amphitheater, and I've never been there and I want to go because it's like a mini Red Rocks, they say. Anyways, if I go, I won't be on. But if I don't go, then I'll be on for my news portion.
00:04:31
Speaker
Today, I just wanted to come on for sports and entertainment. NFL is coming on in 15 minutes. There's a doubleheader tonight. Not that they're very good games. It's the Jets and the Dolphins and then the Broncos.
00:04:43
Speaker
um and the Bengals. So you're not really missing out on much, especially if you stick here with me, especially during the Jets-Dolphins game. That's full of booty juice. That's going to be ah you know like when a dolphin takes their shit in the water and it's all liquid shit. Yeah, that's what kind of booty juice that's going to be.
00:04:59
Speaker
ah The other game, you know, if it's hot take Jake supported, it's definitely booty juice. It's the kind of booty juice ah where a Bronco takes a takes a dookie in the middle of the field and it like drips down its tail on the backside.
00:05:12
Speaker
That's the kind of booty juice that game is going to be. So you're not missing anything. Stay in here with your boy, the sports professor, the professor, street professor. oh did you hear the new intro, baby?
00:05:22
Speaker
Did you hear it? Did you hear the world premiere of the new intro to the Professor Seminole Mente? Mine to the professor. It's a banger. Shout out to your boy, the street professor that created that. Thank you, sir.
00:05:35
Speaker
Much appreciated. All right. Shout out to Jersey boy, MJ watching in on the IG. I see you, brother. Hey, MLB baseball. You ready? You ready? Because I know I am.
00:05:48
Speaker
Before we get into that, and we're going to get into that in just a moment here. First of
ALS Awareness and Support Initiatives
00:05:52
Speaker
all, i wanted to do... um One quick ah promotion um here for ALS. So I don't know if if and if some of you have not heard ALS before. I know Jersey boy MJ has because it's the famed Lou Gehrig disease, and he is a Yankees fan.
00:06:10
Speaker
So I know he's definitely heard of it. But ALS is a horrible disease that affects – um A lot of people, and it's although it's it's not a you know as known as cancer and other diseases like that, a lot of people still do ah deal with this.
00:06:28
Speaker
And one in particular, the only one that I know particularly, is my brother from ah the military veteran, um David Dubois. And ah David is going to be... i just I just Europeanized his last name. That's hilarious.
00:06:43
Speaker
I know hell he's going to laugh at that. Okay. ALS is, again, a bad disease. So they do a walk to defeat ALS every October. So that's going to be this Saturday coming up.
00:06:55
Speaker
And David has done a tremendous, amazing, fantastic job of – um of trying to advocate for finding a disease for ALS.
00:07:07
Speaker
So I want you to do two things. If you want to support this cause, first of all, make sure you subscribe to his blog at David's ALS Journey. Just that easy, David's ALS Journey.

Speaker
um And if you just want to donate, there's nothing wrong with that either. Donations are being accepted at that ALS site, which is the major ALS organization. So you don't have to worry about any, you know, shenanigans or or things like that.
00:08:11
Speaker
um But yeah, again, I am definitely supporting and trying to find a cure for this horrible, horrible disease, which affects a lot of people and and and typically leads to, um you know, complete paralysis and obviously the tragicness that comes with all of that. So,
00:08:30
Speaker
Um, what's good, brother? Jersey boy, MJ tuning in. Appreciate you, uh, and everything that you, you have fought through yourself, my brother. I lost my second father. Oh, wow.
00:08:40
Speaker
To me, second father to you last year from ALS. I'm sorry to hear that. My prayers are with you and your family and as well, their family. Um, Never good to lose anyone. Yes, a horrible, horrible disease to to have to go through that.
00:08:54
Speaker
um Speaking of baseball, Sarah Langs, shout out to her as well. She's the like the and and MLB's major like reporter, statistician. They're always featuring her on ESPN. She actually has ALS, so prayers for her as well and everyone dealing with that. It is a truly, truly heartbreaking podcast.
00:09:13
Speaker
um disease. So prayers that we find a cure for that. And obviously, you know, cancer and and everything. and You know, obviously our technology is getting better as time passes. And hopefully we'll be able to find cures as soon as possible for all of these things. So again, hit those YouTube comments.

00:09:40
Speaker
All right, cool. Let's move it in to MLB Baseball. Oh, you wanted to start already, didn't you? ah That's real cute. Real funny there, Skankies fan.
00:09:54
Speaker
Okay, I'll give it to you.
MLB Playoff Analysis
00:09:56
Speaker
I'll give it to you. That's all right. That's all right. The Mets had what can be considered the most epic, worst collapse in baseball history.
00:10:07
Speaker
And I'm pause so the AI short generator can get that joint and clip it. because this is the most ridiculous shit I have ever seen. has happened to my Mets?
00:10:20
Speaker
They had the best record in the league, um... They had the best record in the league ah for the first half. Then came the second half, and boy, oh boy, was it a tale of two stories. The second half was a collapse of epic proportions. They had a 10-game lead, and they completely lost it to the effect where a $330 million dollar payroll did not even make the playoffs.
00:10:53
Speaker
Did not even make the playoffs. Playoffs? Playoffs? You talking about playoffs? Who's talking about playoffs?
00:11:03
Speaker
Not the Mets. Not the Mets. You sure as hell ain't? It's me and Mr. Met crying in the back room right now. What a horrible performance.
00:11:15
Speaker
Horrible. And then all you had to do was win one more game than the Reds over the last week of the season, and you threw away key opportunity after key opportunity. And, yeah, you're right, had.
00:11:27
Speaker
That's right, had in past tense. we We blew every key opportunity that we had, including this weekend against a crappy Marlins team that was playing. I mean, the Marlins team we played was so young – How young were they?
00:11:42
Speaker
They had the coaches calling in the signs for the to the pitcher because they they they could not have the catcher and pitcher calling signs because they were so young. They don't teach them these things anymore in the minor league, which is horrible and something we can talk about on another ah program at another point in time. But no, it doesn't shock me at all, to be honest.
00:12:05
Speaker
um The Mets have completely done this to us time and time again as a Mets fan my whole life. I have seen this story at least four or five times now over the past 20 years, and that's 30 years, and that's before even I was born, that they they were around for 13, 15 years before I was even born So Whatever happened before then when they were even more shitty before the Miracle Mets, you know I don't even know. So the Mets have done this to their fans for a long, long time, and they have continued to upset me.
00:12:36
Speaker
And this is the worst of it. It was a slow descent into hell. Again, a 10-game run. Leads just blown over the second half, ups and downs. We win five, we lose 10.
00:12:48
Speaker
We win three, we lose five. was like, what the? Anyways, not just us, though. Tigers, you ain't getting away either. No, the Tigers had a 15-and-a-half game lead, and somehow, someway, they blew that and to the effect that they barely made the playoffs and know almost lost their spot or almost got – Yeah, kicked out by the Guardians in their own division. So, I mean, Tigers, you ain't getting off easy as well here.
00:13:19
Speaker
You definitely deserve it. But at least you made it to the playoffs. At least you made it. ah So let's talk about this. The 12-team playoff, you see the bracket there, opens with the best of three wild card series. And yes, while my Mets will not be in it, I am still a baseball fan. I got all my crying out last night. I'm still a baseball fan. I'm still looking for good baseball. And boy, oh boy, did the MLB provide some spiciness, a little spiciness.
00:13:52
Speaker
in our ooh ah take the bracket away from you there in our first drop of the bracket. actually wanted to make it a little better. There we go. A little bigger for you all to see. There we go. So as you can see in this bracket here, this is going to be our first round on the outside.
00:14:07
Speaker
Remember, three-game series, best of three. So the first team to two, basically. ah And what do we got? Up in the left-hand side, American League.
00:14:18
Speaker
Detroit Tigers, we just talked about them. Blew that 15, had a half-game lead. They're going up against their division rival, the Cleveland Guardians. Moving down in the American League. You see it.
00:14:30
Speaker
Talk about spicy. Woo! Woo! i dance See, I can't roll my R's or my L's. And don't worry about that. My mom will call me a bad Puerto Rican.
00:14:42
Speaker
That's okay. um ah But you've got these the spiciest and best rivalry ever. in the American League, Jersey Boy MJ's New York Yankees versus Amul Madan and Lion Reese Penn's Boston Red Sox, which is why I was wanting to have an MLB show this week with all three of them so we could talk about the series, but we're going to see if that we can get that together maybe after the series we can talk about it.
00:15:11
Speaker
and the loser can can cry their salty tears. um But what with the Pirates, the yeah, they did. You're right. That's okay. I am willing to admit it. I am a real fan. I admit it all the time, and the Tigers did too.
00:15:23
Speaker
Light work, huh? Is that what you're saying? I don't know about that, baby. You're going to go up against ah Garrett Crochet ah who will be in the Cy Young contender. He's not going to win it, but he'll be in the, some Red Sox fans would like you to think so.
00:15:37
Speaker
It's going to be a good series. I know that. I think that the Red Sox are a much better team than ah most people give them credit for. But again, you can't even hate on this because this is the preeminent rivalry in baseball. Not even the Mets and Yankees. I know they're crosstown rivalries, but it's the Yankees. Red Sox is the biggest rivalry in baseball.
00:16:00
Speaker
um All games at Yankee Stadium due to New York's higher seed. ah As for um Detroit, remember, they're they're going to the Guardians. right, cool.
00:16:12
Speaker
Let's move it over to the National League side. You see, we got these Cincinnati Reds going. ah Oh, wait, before we got Yane right about that. Remember, starting pitching, even though it doesn't matter as much as it used to because pitchers aren't going as long, y'all.
00:16:28
Speaker
We still got to remember that start good starting pitching that can get you at least six innings is going to be crucial because a lot of these pitchers can't even go four or five innings anymore these days.
00:16:38
Speaker
And having a combination of at least Freed and Rodon, who are proven, Schittler, however the fuck you say it, I knew that was going happen, um He's still a rookie, so we'll see if he can hold up in the bright lights of the postseason for the first time, but definitely Fried and Rodon. I like that 1-2 combo, and again, it's just a three-game series, so if you win those first two games right off the bat, boom, you ain't even got to worry about going to the rook.
00:17:05
Speaker
So I hear you on that. And you're right. You're going to, again, you got to go up against at least crochet though. So um we'll see what happens there with, with that. I think it's going to be a very, very interesting series.
00:17:15
Speaker
Moving it to the national league side. You see, you got it there. The Cincinnati reds going to visit the Los Angeles Dodgers. You're reigning and defending major league baseball champions. The reds screw you.
00:17:33
Speaker
I get it. like i mean, they say if you can't beat them, join them. That's what Clubber did say last night with the Jaguars colors. No, I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. Screw you, Reds. You don't even deserve it. Your team sucks, but you deserve it more than us because we flailed out.
00:17:49
Speaker
Reds are going to meet the Dodgers in what should be a quick series for the Dodgers. And then lastly, you see at the bottom there, I'm not saying and he didn't. I'm not saying. I agree with you. Hey, you can be a quick riser as a rookie. If the Mets would have got into the playoffs, we would have pitched probably at least one, if not two, rookies of our rookies. So yeah, it's all good. Hey, if you can get it done, that is all that matters.
00:18:11
Speaker
And then again, you got in the bottom side, we've got the San Diego Padres visiting the Chicago Cubs in Wrigley Field with future MVP Pete Crow Armstrong, PCA. No, it won't be this year, but in a future year, it will be.
00:18:28
Speaker
So let me give you my predictions here. First of all, in your top series, I don't see how you can blow a 15 and a half game lead to your rival and they take over the division for you. Y'all have heard me talk before and in the past few years, and you always hear me talk about momentum when you're in the playoffs. Good old Uncle Mo momentum.
00:18:54
Speaker
That matters. Detroit Tigers completely shit the bed in the in the playoffs and or in September to barely get into the playoffs. Their arch rival, the Guardians, on the other hand, took advantage of that to take the higher seat and win the division. I don't see that stopping.
00:19:09
Speaker
Guardians win and move on to face the Seattle Mariners. In your bottom series here, you got the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. Aaron Judge led the AL with a.331 average and 53 home runs in one hundred and 114 RBIs this season.
00:19:26
Speaker
Jersey ah boy MJ would have you believe that that is the MVP of the American League. But, ah-ah! No, sir, you see it, Cal Raleigh, catcher for the Seattle Mariners. They call him the big dump because he got a big backside because he got a badonkadonk, as some of them would call it, pause. He's a big dude. He's a catcher.
00:19:49
Speaker
But he hit 60 home runs, which is unheard of for a catcher ever. They barely get there. um and And so that's my pick. Over Aaron Judge, again, it's very hard to get to 60 home runs. Even harder when you play the most demanding position in baseball and you're the leader of the team. They call the catcher the quarterback of the team. So, ah yeah, you know, numbers don't lie. He had a good season.
00:20:14
Speaker
He had a good season. Not good enough. If he could have got to 60 home runs, then maybe we'd be talking. But nah, uh-uh. He's had it enough. And, yes, I am one of those people. You've had it enough.
00:20:26
Speaker
Give somebody else a chance. Let's move it on to the NL. In the NL, I have, oh, by the way, yeah, that's fine. In the NL, we're going to have the Dodgers over the Reds. already told you about that one. Should be a sweep, to be honest.
00:20:39
Speaker
um The other two won't be. And then the San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs going to be another good series. But yeah, i got the Cubs. The Cubbies, baby. The Cubbies getting over ah the San Diego Padres' huge ah payroll and roster as well. Maybe payrolls and rosters aren't the thing anymore. We'll see. He hit more. Well, he didn't hit more home runs. That's for damn sure.
00:21:00
Speaker
Kyle Raleigh, as we just talked about, had over 60. so he Oh, you're talking about Kyle Raleigh. got what you're saying. Okay, got you, got you, got i added it backwards. Got you. um Yeah, yeah. um You know, hey, that's okay. He also plays a harder position and also has to call games and do a lot more than Aaron Judge has to do standing in the outfield picking his ass.
00:21:19
Speaker
Yankees going down. um Anyways, all right, let's keep it moving. ah In that final bottom one, yeah, I got the Cubs. taking the taking the the cake there. So we'll come back later on. Again, I hope to get the brothers in either at the end of this week, early next week for an MLB baseball show. Jersey Boy, I'll be hitting you up soon to coordinate that here later on in the week.
00:21:42
Speaker
um But yeah, we'll probably go after the, after the it's probably be better for us to go after anyways, the wild card before we go into the divisional because the wild cards are short. They're only three three game series. So yeah. All right, cool.
00:21:53
Speaker
That is baseball. Again, make sure you subscribe at Ball and Buds, B-A-L-L-A-N-D-B-U-D-S on YouTube. Go ahead, hit that like button for me now.

00:22:19
Speaker
week. All right. Cool. Oh, one more thing. After that, though, ah the the winners... um ah When they go into the next round, it's not going to be best of three anymore. It's going to be a best of seven.
00:22:34
Speaker
So just to let you all know that, ah best of five, excuse me, best of five in the division series, and then best of seven in the league champion series and the world series. So three, five, seven, seven in the major league baseball ah divisional. That's how many games the series are best out of.
00:22:54
Speaker
Also, by the way, the odds on favorites um right now, according to BetMGM, shout out to BetMGM if you want to sponsor this program, holla at your boy, the sports professor.
00:23:07
Speaker
ah But they are the 425 favorite favorites. favorite ah to win the World Series. After that, you've got the Mariners. Very surprising to me there. The Mariners at 500, and then the Dodgers at 550, and Jersey Boy MJ's Yankees at 700 to round out your top four.
00:23:28
Speaker
ah Yep, you got it. 3577. Thank you for correcting me. I appreciate that. Uh, so why the fuck does the lying betting fuck get him? I mean, wait, what was he implicated into the betting scandal of the other Mariners player? Cause I didn't hear that he was, uh, implicated into that. Um, uh, but if you, Oh, you're talking about, Oh, Oh, Tony. And okay. Well, I mean, that's, I mean, Oh, Tony has had better, had better stats than everybody else in the, in the NL.
00:23:56
Speaker
I mean, uh, You can say PCA. I mean, it's going to be very tough. ah as You can say Soto is up there. ah By the way, you were hating on Soto all year.
00:24:09
Speaker
Ended up having a 40-30 season. Yeah. Anyways, you could have him in there as well. But yeah, no, I think Otani is going to take home the NL MVP hands down.
00:24:20
Speaker
Hands down. oh Oh, by the way. Major League Baseball, third consecutive year of growth at the gates, a total of attendance of 71.4 million. The Dodgers led all the clubs for a 12th straight season, topping 4 million fans, while the lowly A's, shout out D. Cleesey, and the Rays all or both had only
00:24:48
Speaker
uh actually that the rays had ah right above 750 uh thousand which is pretty horrible if you think about it they didn't even hit a million fans now they did play a minor league stadiums but it's still pretty pretty bad pretty bad pretty bad all right anyways cool um
00:25:13
Speaker
ah Yeah, I mean, that's a good question. He's pitching back to pitching now, though, so they're definitely not going to let him do that. But if you could make him a two outfielder, he'd be good in the outfield, too. He is a natural athlete that will be good anywhere you put him, so stop being a hater.
00:25:27
Speaker
All right, let's move it on into our next topic here.
Football and WNBA Playoff Discussions
00:25:36
Speaker
College football rankings and our NFL rankings. Yes, indeedy. You see it. So on the left field, on the left field, on the left hand side, you see we got our college football rankings after a wild, wild weekend of college football.
00:25:55
Speaker
um Ohio State. staying at number one in your AP Top 25, still undefeated, followed by Oregon after a huge victory over the Penn State Patriots.
00:26:09
Speaker
Failures. I'm to stop calling y'all the Nittany Lions. I'm gonna start calling y'all the can't win the big gamers. That's what I'm to call y'all. And I know it ain't your fault. I know it's James Franklin.
00:26:21
Speaker
I know James Franklin, unfortunately, cannot win a big game to save his life. But that also ain't got nothing to do with me. And at some point, as we talked about yesterday on Sunday Showdown, by the way, shameless plug, tune in every Sunday weekly after the ah after the main games, before the night games, we do our NFL college football Sunday shows and recaps ah Sunday Showdown. So make sure you catch us there at Ball and Buds.
00:26:53
Speaker
Anyways, continuing on. So, What a great win, right, by um Oregon over Penn State there in in double overtime.
00:27:04
Speaker
Then that followed up Miami there at number three. So you have Miami still undefeated at 4-0. Ole Miss with a huge victory over LSU this past weekend. Again, yeah, very, very good victory.
00:27:19
Speaker
for them. And then finally rounding out the top five, Oklahoma State undefeated with Heisman Trophy favorite John Matier leading them at QB.

um And shout out to them because they definitely deserved it with what they how they got over on my UCLA Bruins in that Nico Iamayaleva.
00:28:12
Speaker
crazy thing that we had happen in the offseason and why UCLA is 0-4 and just lost to Northwestern because they are some basura.
00:28:24
Speaker
All right. Cool. Moving it into our NFL ah ah power rankings. This is courtesy of Sporting News. You can see it here on the right-hand side.
00:28:36
Speaker
Philadelphia Eagles. Undefeated 4-0, should be defending champions. They should still be on the top until ah they are defeated. Buffalo Bills, the Bills Mafia at number two.
00:28:50
Speaker
They're undefeated as well. They have the Los Angeles Rams at 3-1. and one um ah you know, beating the Colts who were previously undefeated. that's a good victory for them.
00:29:04
Speaker
Following that up. Number four, the Green Bay Packers. After what was a crazy game last night between the Packers and the Cowboys. Hey, NFL, listen up to me a little bit before I give you the side eye.
00:29:19
Speaker
Nobody want no fucking ties. Nobody want no ties. No. Them players get paid million dollars a year. don't want to hear nothing about player safety. Play another five minutes.
00:29:30
Speaker
Do something. Do some sudden death. Have some old fat mofos from the O-line and D-line run wind sprints. I don't care. Get it done. Ain't no need for a damn tie. Don't nobody want to see no damn ties.
00:29:42
Speaker
Don't nobody want to see a tie. This is 2025. All the technology we got. We can't come up with a better way to not have a damn tie. And it's 10 minutes. You knew you was going to get more ties in 10 minutes and over time.
00:29:56
Speaker
Get it together, Roger Goodell. Get it together. And if you need me to come help, be a consultant, just call me. Call me. MVP Specialty Marketing Business, Omar from Secrets Shameless Plug.
00:30:07
Speaker
Rounding out the top five, one of my Super Bowl teams, the Detroit Lions, looking very formidable at 3-1. after and losing that initial game to the Ravens, which y'all, y'all calm down.
00:30:20
Speaker
I get it. If Lamar Jackson is hurt, then yes. Then you got to get into the whole Houston Baltimore, we have a problem. But let us see first what reports come back on Lamar Jackson. If anybody has any updates, I was trying to look for some today. I didn't find any.
00:30:38
Speaker
If anybody has any updates, let me know. But until we get further news on that, yes, did they lose $140 million dollars of people yesterday? Ronnie Stanley, Marlon Humphreys, Roquan Smith, Kyle Van Noy, so on and so forth. Yes.
00:30:52
Speaker
And that sucks because if they have all those people injured, well, there's no way any team would be able to win with all your best players injured. So we'll see what happens. But good thing for the Ravens. They got an early bye week in week seven. They also have a light schedule ah before the bye week, know, as light as it can be.
00:31:10
Speaker
So if... They can hold off even if Lamar is hurt until after the bye when he can come back, whatever it may be. The Ravens are still in that shitty division, are still the favorites to win that division, if you can believe it. At one and four, they are the still the betting favorites to win that division, and I still expect them to do that. Now, will they make the Super Bowl?
00:31:31
Speaker
Going to be a lot harder. i talked to you by sunday I talked about it on the Sunday Showdown so show last night. Here's your professor's fun fact. ah or pro fact rather. It's a, and since the 14 team playoff era started in the NFL, only five teams have made it to the playoffs after starting one and three.
00:31:53
Speaker
So very, very hard to do. We will see ah what happens there. All right. But yeah, what a great start to the season so far.
00:32:04
Speaker
Uh, i baz luas the mi In my heritage language of Hungary. Oh, shoot. going to have to look that up now. Thank you for that. I'm going to look up what that means afterwards. But it seems like basura, which is trash in Spanish.
00:32:19
Speaker
So I'll go with trash and then schismet. Looks like a little schismet. I'm going say that my prediction was Basuda Shiznit because you you want a judge to win.
00:32:33
Speaker
All right. I'm cool. I appreciate you. As always, my brother, be safe, rest up, feel better. As always, my friend, be well. All right, cool. Let's keep it moving. WNBA playoffs.
00:32:45
Speaker
Oh, you know we talk about all the sports. Don't look at me like we ain't never talked about WNBA on here. Maybe you're a new watcher to the show, but we love to give the ladies their just due when it talks about sports, and the WNBA is no different. The playoffs have been awesome so far. Unfortunately, the biggest story of the playoffs has been injuries.
00:33:09
Speaker
And that that came into play this past week. ah We already know. Kaitlin Clark hasn't been playing for the fever, which is a huge you know thing for the WNBA. But we also know that one of the reasons the Minnesota Lynx were eliminated by the Phoenix Mercury is because Nafisya Kali, or one of the best players in the league, was unfortunately injured with an ankle injury. Let me move myself up there a little bit. um and Injured with a little bit of an ankle injury this past week.
00:33:40
Speaker
And so I wish I could get the rest. There we go. um injured with the ankle injury and was out of the series. So the Phoenix Mercury were able to eliminate them three to one. So what did we got here in our WNBA playoffs? Well, this is what it looks like. We've got the Phoenix Mercury going into the finals and they are waiting for the winner of the Las Vegas Aces versus the aforementioned Indiana Fever. Again,
00:34:12
Speaker
Indiana Fever not playing ah with Kaitlin Clark, but they have still been able to go pretty far and very much exceeding expectations for a team that before the season wasn't expected to win this much. But as I keep telling y'all, y'all keep faking on one of the beasts, Aliyah Boston.
00:34:33
Speaker
You just got to know what it is. So we'll see if they can actually beat. um Las Vegas, but, uh, you know, Las Vegas has been my favorite team for a while now in the WNBA.
00:34:49
Speaker
Uh, they got a host of talent, uh, there, obviously, you know, Asia Wilson goes without saying as the former two-time MVP, but just the, the, the rest of the talent, uh, there is just immaculate hall of famers and, and, uh, you know, Brianna Stewart and all the good stuff. So,
00:35:08
Speaker
I look for them to win every season. And I don't know. And Phoenix is a good team. Don't get me wrong. So we'll see what happens. But I don't know that that Las Vegas is going to lose this year either. They would be my pick going forward.
00:35:27
Speaker
All right. Awesome. Let's move it to a little bit of a mixed bag.
Ryder Cup and Fan Culture
00:35:32
Speaker
The Ryder Cup golf. Yes. Ryder Cup. Europe reclaims the cup. And as I was talking to my golf insider, a.k.a. ah my pops, he was telling me how Europe ah Definitely went up big early. US was fighting back, trying to come back at the last day.
00:35:51
Speaker
But the Europeans won 15 to 13. And what that means is they played a bunch of different matches, doubles and otherwise, singles and otherwise. And they added up the number of matches won. And so 15 to 13, Europe over the United States.
00:36:08
Speaker
This marks Europe's ninth win in the Ryder Cup event in the last 12 years. Yes, you can call it domination. Holmes, shout out my brother Michael Wilbon.
00:36:21
Speaker
um But yeah, it they're just dominating the U.S. s in this tournament and no surprise they did so again here. The big thing of note here was that there was a lot of talk of how the American fans were a little too rowdy. Now, look, man.
00:36:42
Speaker
I don't know. i know i do know that golf is supposed to be obviously a a sport where you have some modicum of decorum, so to say, right? A modicum of decorum where you're supposed to act a certain way, stay at a certain level of decibels in terms of sound, not yell certain things, so on and so forth. And golf has done a good job of keeping it that way.
00:37:09
Speaker
Shout out my golf insider, Miriam Gillis, who complains about this all the time when she hears Jim Nance in the booth talking. But, um Look, it's it's it's golf.
00:37:20
Speaker
It's traditionally been a sport where a lot of the noise level is brought down. And golfers are used to playing in an environment where they have quiet in order to be able to hone their craft, right. And be able to be able to apply their craft, be able to golf properly because they're used to quiet.
00:37:43
Speaker
And whether you may not agree with that, or you do whether, uh, you know, that's, that's neither here nor there. What does matter is that's how the sport has always been. And no matter if they do have the waste management open in Arizona and Phoenix, where all the people are drunk and going crazy, all the frat boys, that doesn't matter, which by the way, I want to go invite me. I'll come cover it.
00:38:00
Speaker
Um,
00:38:03
Speaker
It's not the way that golf is. It's not the way that golf has been. If you want that, they got the TGL Tigers Golf League ah or the Tomorrow Golf League that they have on ESPN where they got the lights, they got the music, so on and so forth.
00:38:16
Speaker
But for traditional golf, you're never going to get that into the traditional golf fans' household until very much in the future maybe, when maybe my generation or even after my generation kind of gets into golf. But right now, with the people who are the older generation in golf, that's not going to happen.
00:38:32
Speaker
um Because the majority of people watching it on TV and the majority of fans that are paying are older, ah older, elder people that are not about to let that shit happen. ah So um anyway, so shout out to Europe for winning the Ryder Cup.
00:38:47
Speaker
Let the AI clip that as well. All right. Cool.
EA Sports Acquisition Details
00:38:52
Speaker
Moving it into a final story here. Business, sports business. And this was a story going on in my group chat. And I told them I cover it today um of all my 703 boys. Shout out to all the 703 boys tuning in right now. i appreciate y'all. Love y'all.
00:39:07
Speaker
ah EA Sports. Takeover. What's happening? Well, there is a major buyout that is going to occur of Electronic Arts. What is Electronic Arts? have you ever heard of EA Sports, ah the maker of Madden video games?
00:39:25
Speaker
That is EA. They also make a whole bunch of other video games that are not sports related, but For the people watching right now, probably makes the most sense. The deal is reported to be valuing the company at $50 million.
00:39:39
Speaker
million dollars What has happened is Electronic Arts has pivoted to live service revenue. And so you asked the professor, Omar, the professor, what is live service revenue?
00:39:54
Speaker
Well, let me let you know. There's a game out right now called Apex Legends. And so in that game, the Electronic Arts game maker allows the users to purchase, make small, very small in-game purchases and rewards them It's kind of like gamification, but to a bigger extent because they're actually, it's kind of like the Pokemon strategy a little bit that you can see, but they've leveraged it into more tactile video games, more video games played on gaming systems and online versus necessarily on the mobile phone.
00:40:29
Speaker
So live service allows them to actually have be able to generate revenue live time. They also do it through advertising. I don't know if any of you have been on Roblox or in the metaverse.
00:40:41
Speaker
I, as a digital marketing professor, have been in the metaverse plenty of times. There's plenty of advertising and generating revenue in the metaverse. That's how they make a lot of it. So yeah, when you walk around with your little virtual character, you'll see i have advertisements everywhere. Pretty fucking cool. Actually, don't call me a nerd. you can call yourself a nerd for not knowing it.
00:40:59
Speaker
Anyways, um So what's happening here? Let's tell you a little bit about this. There will be some scrutiny. There will be some backlash. There may even be some people that are kind of ah against this and maybe try to stop this from happening. But, oh, also the other one that I guess people that don't know sports would know is very simple. The Sims.
00:41:23
Speaker
Everybody knows The Sims, right? You've had to have played The Sims at some point in your life. The Sims is made by Electronic Arts as well. Anyways, so... ah This will be the biggest deal since Bella Goff.
00:41:37
Speaker
um Hold on. Wait, where was I at?
00:41:43
Speaker
Hold on one second. I lost my place. ah Where did I go? Oh, okay. So here we are. Who is going to be included in buying this, the the electronic arts, right? There's going to be a consortium, a number of businesses, a number of investment funds that are going to combine to buy the electronic arts property.
00:42:10
Speaker
That includes Silver Lake. We've heard about a bunch. That's an investment firm here. you know, very big in the United States and affinity partners. And for all of you ah heds and all you people that want to ah ah Talk about Saudi Arabia and their sports washing and all of these other things and all the people that want to be up in arms. Oh, they, you know, they did 9-11 and so they shouldn't be able to invest into this and that and blase, blase, blase, blase. Lose me with that bullshit.
00:42:45
Speaker
If you've watched me before, you've heard me on this topic plenty of times. Saudi Arabia's private investment fund, or the PIF, as I like to call it, is invested into every single United States company.
00:43:01
Speaker
So get the fuck over it. Everything you use, Disney, Amazon, Uber, and everything. So it doesn't matter.
00:43:12
Speaker
Get off your high horse. Okay? Okay. So if there's going to be a lot of people pissed off because now they they don't want to play video games because the Saudis are investing in there. And how about this?
00:43:25
Speaker
Especially to the conservative side of the aisle who loves to use this.
00:43:31
Speaker
Jared Kushner owns Affinity Partners, the son-in-law of President Donald Trump. Also, the one that was touted today in the Israel agreement with Benjamin Netanyahu, which, by the way, I'll talk about on my news program.
00:43:45
Speaker
Shameless plug, President Professor Seminole Mente News, USA and World News, which I'll hopefully be doing Wednesday, maybe if I don't go to that concert. I digress. So miss me with that. I'm sick and tired of the argument.
00:43:58
Speaker
And also you'll know how I feel. I'm a veteran, so I can say whatever I want about this as I was serving when 9-11 happened. Rest in peace to all my my my veteran and everybody that lost their life that day.
00:44:12
Speaker
Worst day in our history. you can't You can't say, oh, just because a group of Saudi Arabia people were included in those group of terrorists that this company can't then invest into the United States in the future, that doesn't that that doesn't correlate. That can't be one plus one equals two, okay?
00:44:39
Speaker
Because we have to face facts. If we want to remain a world power ah or the preeminent world power, we have to leverage the resources of our allies, our acquaintances, and know our enemies, okay?
00:44:56
Speaker
And at this point in time, Saudi Arabia is an acquaintance of the United States. And we leverage them for their oil. And if you don't like it, ah too bad for you.
00:45:10
Speaker
They didn't cause nine eleven just because the guys that did it were in the group. Those guys were hired to to do the job. You'd think that was that was all of Saudi Arabia behind it. And even if it was, how would you prove that?
00:45:26
Speaker
And I could go further into it. We won't talk about who actually trained bin Laden.
00:45:36
Speaker
But I digress. You can go see the mind of the professor. Shameless plug. I've talked about this before on the mind of the professor. And I go way deeper. So if you want to find my researched and nuanced opinion on this from a person very close to that, you can go you can go back and see it. But yeah, get off your eye a horse with that.
00:45:55
Speaker
The Saudi up investment fund is invested into pretty much everything in the United States. It has arms and hands and legs in everything that you do. You're
00:46:12
Speaker
go have to get over it.
00:46:17
Speaker
You are. This is the way that it is.
00:46:22
Speaker
Microtransactions. Yes, sir. Hey, by the way, shout out my brother Clubber D as I promoted at the top of the show. Don't forget this Thursday night, 7 Eastern special start time for us.
00:46:34
Speaker
We're going to lead you into the San Francisco 49ers game. As you know, Clubber D is a San Francisco 49ers fan, so we will talk about that game. But we also talk about UFC 320 and some boxing and a great segue.
00:46:46
Speaker
I can't believe it, Clubber D. it's It's perfect how how we always have these
Terrence Crawford and Racial Profiling
00:46:50
Speaker
segues. Somehow you commented right now while I was about to talk about the only boxing story of the show, but and I'm sure Clubber D is going to ah talk more about this on Thursday night, so you're going to want to hear his opinion.
00:47:04
Speaker
Did you see the video of Terrence Crawford getting pulled over by the police, forced out of his car at gunpoint in Nebraska?
00:47:15
Speaker
On the same day, he was honored as the honorary key to the city type person.
00:47:24
Speaker
I mean, you've got to be kidding
00:47:28
Speaker
They said they pulled over a car for driving reckless. I can tell you what that means. That's AKA DWB, driving while black. That's the only crime he committed.
00:47:41
Speaker
Because when they pulled him out, yes, they had a ah a firearm on the floorboard, apparently. But they also all had permits and everything was legal.
00:47:52
Speaker
And on the up and up, he tried to force Terrence Crawford out, as you can see on the video at at gunpoint. Terrence Crawford's like, look, he's telling him everything. like, I'm taking off my seatbelt. I'm standing up.
00:48:03
Speaker
I'm putting my hand. And even then, the cops still getting all snippy. Get the hell out of the car. by Like, bro, calm down. Plus, do you not watch any sports? Do you not know you are in Nebraska? Do you not know the damn world champion, the world heavyweight champion, the one who was just honored earlier the day in the same city you're standing in, and you're telling me you don't know who he is?
00:48:24
Speaker
Even if you had stopped him, at least when you get to the car, you're like, oh, shit, my bad, bro. You can still do your job. I'm not saying don't you do your job. If you suspect that that was really what happened,
00:48:37
Speaker
Wink, wink, because I don't really believe that's why you pulled him over. But if that's what you really suspect and you did see the firearm on the floorboard, it is in the law. I read up on it today. It is in the law for the for the police officer to pull him out the car if they see a firearm.
00:48:51
Speaker
Fine, do your job. But if he's being respectful, if he's telling you every move, there's not really a reason for you to be getting all snappy and and angry and things like that because you all...
00:49:05
Speaker
And I mean the law enforcement. You all always say, well, you need to comply when being told what to do. Okay. Not only was he complying, he was literally walking the cop step by step. I am moving my hand.
00:49:20
Speaker
I am putting my hand. And you're still getting upset because he ain't moving fast enough. But if he moved any faster, you'd have probably shot his ass.
00:49:37
Speaker
Again, you know, ah go back and check the Professor Semino Mente. I've had things to say about the whole police brutality bullshit in this country. And conservatives on that side of the aisle like to talk about how the liberals, oh, well, you know, you, oh, well, you know, well, why y'all want to be protesting and and burning shit down and blah, blah, you did that for George Floyd and this and that. Well, that's very, very disingenuous.
00:50:04
Speaker
Very disingenuous. Because it was never done for George Floyd. It was done in protest of police brutality, just like the Colin Kaepernick situation. So miss me again with that bullshit.
00:50:19
Speaker
And let me put my face up close so you can see me and see that I'm serious. Miss me with that racist bullshit. And again, I don't care about the politics. You know me. If you watch this show, you know I hate both sides. both sides I don't like liberals or or or Democrats or Republicans. I don't like either side of the aisle.
00:50:37
Speaker
I think all politicians are criminals. Doesn't mean don't like the people. I love my people. I just don't like the politics the the politicians. um It's all a bunch of bullshit. It's all work.
00:50:48
Speaker
They work us. Just like with the government shutdown, like I'll talk about later this week. They do this do this to us every year. Every year they talk about a government shutdown that you know is not going to happen because they've been doing this shit for the past 20 years.
00:51:00
Speaker
And they only do it so they can then leverage more money out of the public because the public is scared it shuts down. And so then they're allowed to pass more bills with more money. that's the only That's the only reason.
00:51:12
Speaker
Man, y'all got to think. I got to be smarter. A company said he used the key to get out. I mean, that's some bullshit, though. I mean, come on now. Like, my man is telling you every step he's taking.
00:51:24
Speaker
And you still get an attitude. Come on, man. how How much right can you do before, you you know, whatever. Anyways, we move on. I digress. All right, cool. Moving into our entertainment portion ah before we get
Entertainment Spotlight: Bad Bunny and Taylor Swift
00:51:40
Speaker
out of here. i don't really care about the game that's on right now, but I do want to get on, get off when both are on because I do want to throw them on and watch both of them.
00:51:47
Speaker
um don't really care about the game now. Someone update me on the score, Cleber D, if you got one there for me. Anyways.
00:51:56
Speaker
Whoa. Yes, sir. I meant to do a little bit more of a tease there, but I guess I gave it away. Who? Who, who, who, I don't know why I did that myself when I literally have, will you stop it camera?
00:52:10
Speaker
Sometimes this camera,
00:52:14
Speaker
which likes to, if you put your hand up for like a few seconds, it'll start doing the movement tracking thing, but I don't like the movement tracking thing here because I don't think it centers properly. Anyways, um, new day.
00:52:27
Speaker
yeah yeah what's going on tell isha boys the
00:52:43
Speaker
One more, one more, one more. One more, one more. Get it right, get it tight. Get it right, get it tight. Get it right, get it tight. There we go, baby. ah Close enough, close enough.
00:52:53
Speaker
Now, in this Mixed Match Challenge, only one member of the New Day shall be involved in the matches. And guess who? Who? Who? Who?
00:53:05
Speaker
I don't know why the long version of that is on there because I shortened that up a long time ago to just the who's. But apparently we just had to get to it. We had to hey we had to drag it out to get to the actual payoff. That's all right. I'm glad y'all stay with me.
00:53:15
Speaker
Who, who, who will be representing for the Super Bowl halftime show? None other. Bienvenido.
00:53:27
Speaker
Yes, Benito. Woo, wepa, wepa, wepa. Bad Bunny. Yes. Bad Bunny. AI, you better clip this.
00:53:41
Speaker
Bad Bunny will be the Super Bowl 60 halftime performer at Levi Stadium in San Francisco.
00:53:52
Speaker
What a major, major moment, not just for Latin America and Latin American music, but more. For mi gente.
00:54:02
Speaker
For my country. for Para mi orgullo. Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico, baby. Yes, bad buddy.
00:54:15
Speaker
I never thought I would see the day where a Puerto Rican artist was picked to perform the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is the biggest performance in the world. You are going to be seen by over 120 million people around the world.
00:54:34
Speaker
And bad buddy, a little Puerto Rican kid from the ghettos, God out and prove that you can do anything. And now he will be on the biggest stage one year after Kendrick Lamar and he will be performing rock nation, Apple music. Shout out to Jay Z, my brother jigger.
00:55:00
Speaker
This amazing.
00:55:02
Speaker
Wow, this is amazing. I am so proud. I am so happy. um I mean, everybody has to be happy about this, except, and I mean, you might get a couple of older people, like the ones last year where they had to show Kendrick and they show all the old white people and they're like, the fuck is happening here?
00:55:20
Speaker
You're probably going to get some of that. yeah but i look Look, I am not a good Spanish speaker. My mother will tell you that. um I can understand pretty much anything.
00:55:33
Speaker
mostly, but not everything. And so even like Bad Bunny or any of the other reggaeton artists, I don't understand a lot of their music because it's really, really fast. um And so even though he does have slower love songs and things like that, I still don't even understand everything he says.
00:55:49
Speaker
um So I admittedly, I will listen to Bad Bunny, but it's more for the beats and the music rather than the lyrics. So like, for instance, like when me and my cousin will ride back together in Puerto Rico, he'll throw it on.
00:56:02
Speaker
He's actually like knowing all the word. I don't. So I'm just like banging to the beat. So I'm not necessarily a, I mean, I don't really know much most of the stuff he's even talking about. ah But,
00:56:14
Speaker
Word for word is what I mean. But I do enjoy his music. So it's going to be crazy. And, you know, hey Taylor Swift. I know y'all heard me when I'm predicting that Taylor Swift would be this year's performer.
00:56:27
Speaker
I also talked to Jay-Z, my brother. I talked to him last week and he was telling me how there were some things that happened in the background and that it just wasn't right with Taylor's timing of her new album, which is a great segue. Cause we're going to talk about Taylor's new era in just a second.
00:56:47
Speaker
Uh, but with her new album coming out in the marriage to Travis Kelsey coming to, it wasn't the the right timing for her to do it. So don't worry. She will still be a future Superbowl performer. But as me and Jigga were talking about on the phone, Jay-Z was telling me that, uh,
00:57:02
Speaker
that she wasn't going to be there this year, that it was going to be Bad Bunny instead. So shout out again. Wow. How crazy is that?
00:57:13
Speaker
I mean, everybody in Puerto Rico is just so happy for Bad Bunny, little Benito. um And yeah, I mean, it's going to be great. And the one thing about this also, though, a lot of people talked about how he didn't perform in the United States because he was he didn't want All right, so anybody that doesn't know, Bad Bunny did a 26-show residency, but he only did his shows in Puerto Rico, so you had to go out there to see him.
00:57:39
Speaker
there were two That was twofold. One reason was because obviously he wanted the majority of the revenues to go to his home country, especially because Puerto Rico, we are not the most wealthy of nations, even though we are an American territory. You would think that we would be supported well by the American government, but we are not.
00:58:00
Speaker
um Puerto Rico is badly underserved by the American government, which is another thing. American government gets your ass in order. There's no reason places like Puerto Rico, Guam,
00:58:13
Speaker
And other places that are American territory should be living like third world countries. So get your ass in order. You want to take countries over, then you got to make sure you take care of them. It's just like when you're a dad that wants to, uh, you want to get married to this girl and she got kids.
00:58:28
Speaker
Well, Hey, you got to be the daddy to them kids now too. You want to take over Puerto Rico in the Spanish American war, then do your fucking part and start supporting Puerto Rico. Cause I'm sick and tired of seeing my people live in, in poverty in many places. Um,
00:58:42
Speaker
um but I digress. Maybe that's a little mind of the professor a topic I should talk about later. I'm sure my mom will tell me whether I should or I shouldn't. um Anyways, bea again, shout out to Bad Buddy.
00:58:55
Speaker
Wepa, wepa, wepa, Puerto Rico. Yeah. All right. Anyways, moving on in other pop culture news for the AI to clip that.
00:59:11
Speaker
Taylor Swift. In her new era, yes, Taylor Swift has announced her new album is coming out Friday. the pop icon, You Know I'm a Swifty, is coming out with her 12th album called The Life of a Showgirl.
00:59:29
Speaker
It will feature 12 tracks. um And let's be honest. She's a huge pop icon. You can say you don't like her and that's fine. But her worldwide tour last year brought in an estimated $2.2 billion.
00:59:45
Speaker
billion With a B, billion dollars. Pesos. ah Probably not pesos.
00:59:57
Speaker
Obviously a currency exchange.
01:00:01
Speaker
$2.2 billion on hotels, food, travel, places. That's why Bad Bunny did his tour in Puerto Rico. Because with the money you bring in, which he brought in hundreds of millions for the island, look at that.
01:00:15
Speaker
Taylor Swift bringing in billions of dollars to the city near you. She is so big, the release of her album on Friday is going to have theaters, movie theaters, showing the release on screens.
01:00:29
Speaker
That's how big of a star she is. It is crazy. They'll be able to see her newest music video and other exclusive ah footage. They're going to have other parties and music events ah being, you know, themed around the album release. So I know all the Swifties are definitely looking forward to that.
01:00:50
Speaker
Um, what about the album? So I know you're asking, Professor, teach us a little bit about why she came about the actual life of a showga showgirls album. Well, this actually came about on her European leg of her tour, the Arrows tour, as we know it. And so when she was on the road going through Europe, it was said that she was um to have fell in love with the entertainer side of European performances and the, you know, plays and ballets and things of of this era, the entertainer. And so she wanted to give her fans a dichotomous view or a a a conversionary
01:01:38
Speaker
um ah outlook to her last album. So we remember her last album, Fray and the Swifties out there, was called Tortured Poets Department.
01:01:49
Speaker
And while it was a very good album, it was also on the bleak side. It brought you down a little bit when you listen to you more than it brought you up. This is meant to be more vibrant and more lively. It will contain 12 tracks and the first track you know, contradictorily being the fate of Ophelia. You would think that's kind of dark, but that's obviously in reference to the Hamlet character, Ophelia.
01:02:17
Speaker
um Sabrina Carpenter is featured on the album's title track as well. Again, she announced this with Travis Kelsey on her New Heights podcast, August 13th.
01:02:28
Speaker
And yeah, ah so coming out Friday. Shout out to Taylor Swift and her new album. And then finally, I want to end tonight on a note. Jimmy Kimmel, while I was gone, was taken off of air. This is after Stephen Colbert was removed by CBS.
01:02:47
Speaker
Things to be said, done, money-wise. But we know. that President Donald Trump has been announcing people that he doesn't like, including all the people that he's getting prosecuted. Now you see what's happening with James Comey. He has a hit list.
01:03:00
Speaker
He's just checking it off. I don't know why you people don't believe it, but I'll be talking about this on my news segment coming up ah later this week, the professor Seminole Mente, but we'll be talking about Donald Trump and The ramifications, right, of being able to be at the highest level of power and being the most powerful person on earth and also wanting to have everything your way at the same time and how that can obviously compete and go against the interest of America in the future and what America...
01:03:33
Speaker
um is so is is heading towards as a country versus what Donald Trump, Project 2025, and the conservatives would want America to go to.
01:03:46
Speaker
And so we'll talk about all of this on my news show later this week. But one thing that came about is, you know, when Donald Trump says something very powerful, again, these things can take hold. And it did when he said he didn't want Jimmy Kimmel on the air. And then all of a sudden, you know, Jimmy Kimmel's taken off air.
01:04:02
Speaker
Disney lost a bunch of subscribers. ah losing over $3.87 billion dollars worth of value with all the subscribers lost after the and ah the announcement came.
01:04:15
Speaker
um Which
01:04:20
Speaker
I've heard Jimmy Kimmel say a lot worse things before about Donald Trump than what he said. Yeah. But the bigger part is if you're going to be on the conservative side of the aisle and be about free speech, then you got to be about it the whole way. You can't be um ah hypocritical about it and then say, oh, no, well, we don't like that speech because it was against us or against Donald Trump or whatever it is. If you're going to be free speech, you got to be free speech all the way. And that's what I came to talk about is the fact that and George george Carlin himself would be role is rolling in in his grave about this because.
01:04:57
Speaker
As a comedian, especially those are the people mostly that have to be, you know, sort of untouchable when it comes to this sort of thing, because if they're not, then that's when we lose free speech altogether.
01:05:08
Speaker
So I'm glad that he was reinstated into, into on air just for the fact of free speech. I'm not necessarily a Jimmy Kimmel fan. I think he's fine. I do listen and watch him sometimes. Um,
01:05:22
Speaker
Obviously, they're late night entertainers, though. They don't even write their own jokes. They have staff that write jokes for them. So most of the stuff that would be written anyways wouldn't have come from him. ah So again...
01:05:35
Speaker
Free speech is very important. It is vital. It is an unalienable right given to us by the founding fathers. And so if you're going to be about free speech, you need to be about it all the way. And you can't get upset when people have their...
01:05:53
Speaker
opinions just and rest in peace to Charlie Kirk, just like he had his opinions as well. He was entitled to free speech and everyone else ah should be as well because it it was given to us in the Constitution. And so you should be able to go wherever and not be persecuted and not be in fear of of violence. So, yeah.
01:06:18
Speaker
ah Definitely, um you know, rest in peace to him. Rest in peace to Assata Shakur, ah ah passed away earlier today. You know, every man's revolutionary is another man's um
01:06:32
Speaker
rebel, you know, and no matter what kind of side of the way you look at the issue at hand or the person that it is, you're always going to have supporters of people and you're going to have detractors.
01:06:45
Speaker
of people. um All that matters is that we are people and we are human beings and we are should be treated as such and should have the respect and grace of being human beings. ah So free speech, respect, and love as Jesus taught us. ah you know love thy Love thy neighbor. right We should love each other as we would love ourselves.
01:07:11
Speaker
