That's a trademark bedside manner that we love so much about David.

The key word there is money.

He's getting the money. I'll give him that. He's got the money.

Actually, guys, I have to bring the fun down, but I do want Adnan to weigh in on this. And it actually ties two of his passions together, cinema and baseball. Just came across a wire. Bob Uecker has passed away.

Dan, now you go.

Adrian Brody's about to win his second. De Niro could never be in Predators. It shifted the paradigm. Instead of the Predator coming to Earth, he took a bunch of Earthlings to his planet.

Also, he was in Fool's Paradise. He did a good job in that.

Dan, you're often worried about the show aging out. How many of our listeners know what a DVD is?

Yeah, but we faded it down. Chris was on it. And Adnan, I mean, man, was he ready for that? A pro. A pro. What a great obit. Dan, we're still waiting for your words on it. I do have one more movie question because Nosferatu is a huge box office hit, but it's a little polarizing and the polarization basically comes down to one thing. Count Orlok has a mustache.

And a lot of people, they kept it secret, and the reveal was kind of stunning. And I basically boiled it down to the people that didn't like Nosferatu didn't like the mustache. Was it, in retrospect, a mistake to put a mustache, a historically accurate mustache, on Ken Warlock? Yeah.

Don Levitard.

He seems like a not nice guy, and he's always been a not nice guy. I don't care for him, and I hope he has the day he deserves.

That's how I get people when they're really mean to me. I'm not like, go F yourself. I'm like, I hope you have the day you deserve. It's a great kind insult.

She should willingly, voluntarily present it because that's the ethos of what we do here. But yes, should she disagree, take it out of her check.

Dan, do you really think I'm a star? That's so nice.

Someone said they were close to me?

That's really cool. I didn't hear anything else you said. I stopped listening after star.

I'm going to both big games.

Yeah, well, I'm a star. I get to go to both big games.

And one very purposeful omission. Yeah, that's right.

Did that come in on a Saturday? Because I saw it and I was like...

Florida doesn't have same-day registration, so I don't think I was eligible for a vote.

But we brought in a corporate partner that is literally made to make the fine system even more convenient.

And yet, this is a culture problem. And she's just saying she's going to the Super Bowl. That's subject to corporate approval. So, challenge, at least.

Challenge. Let me ask the HR heads in the world. Is quid pro quo bad?

Do you keep the flag in your sock?

What do you mean a challenge? Like the red flag? Have her pay off the fine through unconventional means.

You can't ask an employee to give you part of their paycheck.

Yep, that's right. But you can ask them to eat something really bad for them or do something that was like really physically tiring.

Our company has a long checkered history with forcing people to do these things.

There you go.

Can you dress up like Jim Harbaugh as the Michigan coach and interview Buckeyes fans?

Oh, yeah, I'll do that. Ooh, can you dress up as Jim Harbaugh after he was taken by the Dirty Bubble in the wildcard playoff game this weekend?

I'll do that as well. It was the greatest thing I've ever seen in my whole life. I just loved it so much.

We should petition, maybe have the audience petition to get TikTok banned to punish Lucy. Yeah.

Also a stream of income.

Yeah, well, I've also lost a huge portion of my income as well. And that's the part that really, really sucks. TikTok's creator program actually does pay decently well. But for me, TikTok has been what I've used to sort of, one, get this job. Every job I've had is because I posted on TikTok and grew a following that way. It's how we get brand deals.

It is a huge chunk of my income that is lost because the government doesn't want someone stealing our data, even though if I were to go to another US based app, they're also stealing my data. It really, it really, really sucks.

Because like, it's not just gonna like impact me financially, it's gonna impact so many people, so many small businesses, so many people who have made their living as creators, it really does actually suck. And I will miss my scrolling time too.

This is about college football, yeah?

Well, I have a question, Lucy. Have you explored using Red Note? Now, you may need to learn Mandarin, but apparently they pay well over there.

I have not used it yet, but I have seen lots of videos of people using it yet. One, they're teaching college football there. So I think I could be really, really good at that. I think it's a little bit funny that everyone got together and they were like, fine, you're going to take our app. We're going to go to the even more Chinese app.

The one that is like specifically meant for like the citizens of China. We're going to use that. Please take my data. And you can't read the terms and conditions because it's all in Chinese. So you're like, fine. Got it. Have my data. I don't care.

I'm always usually so good about reading things, too, in a language that I understand.

That's my favorite thing about this whole thing. It's like TikTok is stealing our secrets. And I'm like, and so like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, those are the people we're supposed to trust with our data. Like, no, no, now it's safe. Steve Martin also. Did you talk about Elon Musk buying, perhaps buying TikTok? Yeah, we did that yesterday.

And we talked about how Pablo was smart enough to live at the time of Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard, but not smart enough to A, invest in Facebook or B, stop him from ruining the world.

Didn't he say he was one of the first 100 people to sign up for the Facebook, as it was called? Drop the Justin Timberlake. Great note. He's the guy who invented Napster. That's my favorite part. It's like, yo, some of you young people don't remember this. Napster was the first, like, this is how we get music for free. And it was glorious. It was awesome. Dude, there were no bugs.

There was no viruses. Everything came down pure and clean. I was a king. I was a bootlegging king. Do you guys know that about my life? You had the CD burners? Yeah, man. CD burners. Walking around, man. Selling them five bucks a pop. Three for 20.

Well, I wasn't movies. Movies was later in my life.

Early on. Unless you wanted to spend seven days downloading signs.

Also, blank DVD writables were a lot more expensive back then. But yeah, man, Napster was such a thing. And so it's crazy, because now as I think of it all, it all is one continuous thread, Dan, right? You start with Napster, which wasn't even social media. It was just like, hey, how we got music. And then the guy who invented Napster is basically advising Mark Zuckerberg, who created Facebook.

and Facebook turns into Instagram, and Instagram is this thing in TikTok, and here we are where Lucy is learning Chinese literally so that she can supplement her paycheck.

Ooh, that could be a challenge. Learn Chinese. I'll do it.

Do a TikTok dance and then, you know, post soliloquy in Mandarin, and that's a good challenge.

I don't have income anymore from TikTok.

What are you, a credit card company? The U.S. government should pay that. They took that from me.

Do we have that sheet that has all the fines listed? Because I believe that's the new fine system, Dan. So what you're referring to is the old fine system where you would have to be fined when you didn't have the fine money. Now that we have Venmo, and thank you, Venmo, we have a new fine system. It's on the screen for the people watching on YouTube and elsewhere.

It's $1 for a mistake, $2 for coughing into the mic or having phlegm, $3 for pestering. Which, Dan, $5 for tone. Dan, also, you're not really great on that one. $7 for not listening. That's one for me. $10 for phone interruption. And $50 for death. Fines are doubled on Tuesdays when Greg Cody's here.

I think there's a better chance than people realize right now. The line is what Ohio State minus eight and a half. I actually think that this game only goes two ways. Ohio State wins by 21. They're a very good team. And when they're playing like not even their best, but just 75% of their best, they're pretty much impossible to beat. But you've seen this season multiple times, that Michigan game.

Will Howard has not played well up until the postseason. He's been electric in the postseason. But if Ohio State fumbles, if Notre Dame is able to put them in a position where they're stuck in third downs, and Ohio State is terrible on third down, I really do think Notre Dame has a chance to win this game. If it's close, I think Notre Dame will win through their defense.

If it's not close, it's not going to go well. I think I did pretty decent.

There's reports that the transfer portal opening up is going to actually be pushed to after bowl season. This is an obvious thing that was under everybody's noses. I don't know why it took so long, but this should make everything easier, right, Lucy?

Yeah, I believe there's going to be a 10-day period after bowl season. All the coaches voted yes on this, so it's probably going to move forward. I think this is just going to make things so much easier. Specifically, you look at what happened with Penn State. They had to play the postseason without their backup quarterback because he needed to enter the portal.

He's at Mizzou now, and it makes sense for both him to want to be able to continue to play for Penn State in the postseason, in the playoff. but also know, hey, you're not going to have a starting job next year. It's probably a good idea to move on. You had the incident with Marshall where they couldn't field the team because so many players transferred. This is going to eliminate a lot of that.

Marcus Freeman, hair, real or Beijing? Both.

I don't want to say. The hairline's Beijing.

Is that why they beat Penn State? Was because Penn State was making, the coach was making jokes about the hair? No.

I think James Franklin was instigating. I think he was being difficult to be difficult, and he hasn't earned that right yet. But yeah, the hair, it just sort of appeared. And he didn't need it. He was so handsome. He was so handsome.

Hey, howdy, listener. Why don't you sit down here next to me? Let's have a fireside conversation in the winter. This is all theater of the mind anyways. The weather outside is a little chilly. Let's warm up. Let's cozy up. Not just to each other, but also to that beautiful white can of Miller Lite. That's right.

Thank you for stopping by. No, Adnan, because... He hasn't spoken in three minutes. All right, so all of that said... I really want to show the people your personality, so I'm going to talk for five straight minutes.

Hold on, Dan, and I'm going to say this. Because Adnan is a cinephile, I know he's quoting Malcolm X. In the Spike Lee movie, Malcolm X. We're talking about the JFK assassination.

And then I have a question for you, because you said it's not that great. What is an example of a great movie? biopic, particularly of a musician, because I feel like you're right. They're all kind of blah. I remember when Rami Malek won for the... Bohemian Rhapsody, a joke. And I was like, this movie is basically so a bunch of people who grew up listening to Queen could relive those songs.

It was so distorted. Some would be like, the situation would be like, hey, we will rock you. Like, hey, that's a song. And then that's not how it happened. None of that happened like that. But it just allowed people the nostalgia of like, I remember that song when I was in high school or middle school or whatever, and they sang it.

So what, because you've watched so many of these, what is an example of, oh, this is actually really good?

Well, you can parse whether or not he was being honest, but I've seen him praise the performance.

Because they create a mythology or because it's so? Well, because he's quiet, people build a mythology around him. Like Kawhi Leonard. Yeah, exactly. It's exactly like Kawhi Leonard. Apple time, apple time.

Dan, don't worry. We'll slow down for two weeks in which USA and Canada finally play with NHL players for like the first time in a decade during the Four Nations Challenge.
