What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
You sent me a text maybe on when I was on vacation. Yeah, I think it was. I was in Maui. It took you a couple of days to the point where I was like, I don't know if Kevin likes this idea. Well, that's another part, another leaf I'm turning over. Less phone.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
I think we have that book at my home.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Does he lead with that? You know, I wrote Midnight in the Garden of Good. That's a famous book.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Well, I have two... I have two more... I'll hold up two things, okay? I have all of these. Okay, this one is called Massive List. Yeah, it says it. You wrote it in all caps across the top. Yeah, it's all organized stuff. And this one is just the one that I think is the coolest moment. But this moment can just fold into all of these.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Like this moment is not necessarily cooler than, I'll give you just number 12 in no particular order, when owls turn their head around. Yeah, that's cool.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Once you go through with your everything is cool, isn't it filter on, it's endless.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Yeah, sure. I'm glad you bring it up if you want me to jump your take. Here's a dog that herds sheep, but there's wolves out there, you know? So you know what this dog has on him? A collar of spikes. Yes. He's got a spiked collar. The spikes on this collar are about four inches long. And it's so when a wolf tries to attack him. His jugular is. It's basically he's turning him into a dog porcupine.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
So that's number two. Go ahead. Keep going about dogs.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Yeah, he is, dude. Herding sheep, just mind his business.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Dogs can smell cancer, so let's slow your roll here.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Yeah. Treat it like a letter, like a very fast letter. Like you wrote me a letter. I got it. I'm thinking about it. Here's your letter back. But it's very fast. A day. In the olden days. Right. Not Ken Burns Civil War letter. No. But closer to... You know, your birthday card from your parents. Yeah. It's coming.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
They can smell like Alzheimer's as well. Yeah. Yeah. So they can't ask for, you know, how was your day? At the same time... It's the real Jordan LeBron situation, dogs versus birds. Dogs have jobs, like several jobs. Birds don't have jobs?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
This is me with the falconer wrist. I do not want to be painted as anti-eagle. I'm just saying you can come across dogs working. Dogs straight up have jobs. They're in the military. They're in police. They do jump out of planes. Yeah, they do all sorts of stuff.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
So this is my issue. Cool parachute. This is where I think that I don't want to get off on the wrong foot.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
This has become contentious. I think if you get the badge of cool, you're in the Hall of Fame. I'm not. Hey, we're all of cool. Are you Babe Ruth? Are you a guy who just snuck into the Hall of Fame, you know, recently? Doesn't matter, dude. My plaque is up. So whether you're I had this originally, Jimi Hendrix closes Woodstock with the Star Spangled Banner. Number one seed.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Or you're just a kid in Little League who hits a triple and decides to slide headfirst. You both are doing your thing, dude.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
I've seen it several times. When he slides and then pretends to be a photographer? Yes. Unbelievable. It's just, like, the fluidity. Yeah, Baker is sick, dude.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
No, you're allowed to practice it. Some of my lists are just nouns, dude. So this is where I get into it. This is where I start to get into, like, not just people. So you're talking about proper nouns? No, just swords. All swords? I mean, I don't know. Most swords. If there was a sword here, that's cool.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Yes. Official stick reviews. Yeah, they're great, and everybody likes it.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Yeah, that's cool. That's objectively, obviously. Just raise, I've got so much stuff here, and we're almost out of time already. Just stop me when you want to talk about something. Are you ready? Yeah. They're not everything cool in the world. I can't believe you actually have 71 things, but I'm looking at your paper and there are. Some of them have ABC. Pablo gave me a job on my vacation.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Hey, can you go through everything and everyone that's ever existed? and come up with a list, and I only came up with 71.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
But it's just everything ever. Everything ever. So this is just stuff that just popped into my brain recently. Surfers, obviously. That dog with the collar. Octopi. I mean, ejaculates out of its tentacles, just as a side note. Spies. Bats, which is basically swords. Scorpions. Diving, but not necessarily Olympic diving.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Old cars, cars from the future. Okay, this is a large catch-all. Pretty much all musical endeavors. Pretty much all artistic endeavors. Pretty much all dancing hard. Pretty much all motorcycles.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
The non-children of mine in attendance. My kids did a swim. We're on a swim team for a little while. It's like a five-hour thing. And then my kid gets in there and flops around for 45 seconds and then comes out. I'm like, no. I was like, we can't do this anymore. He has to be... Even if he's on the bench in basketball, I'm looking at him. He's there. He's going to get some run.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
I was listening to podcasts. You can't do it. That's fine. You want to keep going or you want to argue about it? No.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Yeah. Just trying it is cool. Thank you. Almost all convertibles. Almost everything with a gas-powered motor. This includes what is not limited to go-karts, dump trucks, chainsaws, weed whackers, monster trucks, and street sweepers.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Obviously, practical necessity for safety to gauge speed and distance. Obviously... Cool to compose it because it falls under all musical endeavors. I was going to hold you to account. All turtles.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
But they were cool. So does everything. We had sea turtles and tortoises. All turtles.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
My buddy's got a turtle that's going to outlive him. They have to do estate planning for it. But there is something reassuring.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
A good amount, right? Oh, they've seen some things.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
The babies have just seen Maui like me. Almost all mechanics. Maybe all mechanics. Pretty much any job that requires having a lot of stuff. A superintendent's key ring. Yeah, that's, yes. That works. For everything. Yeah, just any, whether you're a lumberjack, you know, any job where you're holding a lot of stuff, this is another catch-all that you'd probably be upset about.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Stuff that is faster than that stuff usually is. People, animals, or vehicles. Just a little bit. Just be fast, just faster than the normal thing. Whatever the standard for that thing is, if you're a little bit faster, great.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Headspace-wise. Because I figured when you sent me a text, you just want to talk about like, hey, Michael Jordan sure was cool. I'm like, yeah. Hey, remember when Vince Carter jumped over Frederick Weiss? That was cool, right? Like, yeah, that's cool. And, you know. Led Zeppelin school. Like, yeah, everybody knows that stuff. So I'm like, how do I put a twist on this?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Yep. There's a little bit of bonus. There is a little bit of bonus. Lily pads. Also, stuff that is much slower than that stuff usually is. The last person who crosses the marathon finish line. Sloths. Old jalopies. Any car that you have to crank in the front of it to get it going. Sunglasses. This is an odd one. People with long hair and barbers. Figure that one out. Venus fly traps. Cacti.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Many trees. Almost all sea life. Almost everything that can fly. Old guys wandering around in flip-flops with good vibes. People with their shirts off. Crossing a river on a horse.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
I put this in the same category as people dancing. Okay. Man, people are like, are you worried about being embarrassed? Everybody with every dude with their shirt off is usually just crushing it. But a lot of it's just being confident. Who cares? Right. Don't let the internet trainers get you down because you don't have trapezius muscles. Doesn't matter.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Look at the guy who popped the beer on the alligator tooth. Most doormen agree. Fully agree. Problematic zone. Oh, wait, this is the sheaf of paper that's just... Bank robbers. What do you want me to do? Sorry. A lot of weapons. Sorry. Venomous snakes. Mob bosses. Spitting tobacco juice on the floor of a saloon and then looking at the bartender like, what are you going to do about it?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
It's just there's an element of badassery that is cool. It doesn't quite hit the good vibes, but I'm also not going to ignore it.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Yeah. So many people dip and they have those like gross. Dip is not cool. No, dip is not cool. It's not cool. I mean, it's kind of cool. Again, I got a loose door policy. It's kind of cool.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
It's cool. I'm just saying spittoons probably could make a comeback. If somebody wants to start a spittoon company, like you're going to carry around a Gatorade thing or a coffee, a Starbucks cup and spit into it. Look, we've got a beautiful spittoon in the corner there. Old bartenders, all amphibians, everything nocturnal as mentioned.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Most people in rocking chairs, rocking chairs themselves, coolers, hammocks, anything that glows in the dark, including things and animals.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
And I just so happened to be in Maui. Have you been to Hawaii? I've been to Kauai. Oh, man. We wanted to go to Kauai. It's so good. Kauai is even more nature-y than Maui. It is. It's where they filmed Jurassic Park. Oh, okay. So this will be right in your wheelhouse. Were there whales there? Of course there were. Okay. I know you're a big whale aficionado as well.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
I think we're finding out, actually, something about... Can I tell you why that is? Most of the earth is water and most of the earth is cool thus far.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Yeah, that's awesome. This is going in the dark. Yes. Beaver dams. Most mammals. A good amount of cash, but not as much as Floyd Mayweather has. Huge waves, wave pools, most water activities. See?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Driving a car through a huge puddle, which might be considered... You can see how my brain works there.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
The universe, all the planets, especially Saturn's rings, comets, shooting stars, and black holes, also revolving doors.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Driven by the thrill of speed and the power of extraordinary style, the Tommy Hilfiger Capture Collection combines performance-oriented design with limitless self-confidence. This is more than just a look. It is the uniform for everyone who wants to make their dreams come true.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
That concludes the giant list. Now I have a new category. What's this new category called? What is your most... This might be your most famous... I don't know. Is this going to hurt your feelings? I hope not. What do you think your most famous take is?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Okay. I think you're right. This is one of your famous takes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. What's... I wrote, wow, what an upset.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
But you should have been able to just pick every 16. That's what I told Tony Reale. You'd be like, I'm taking a 16 seed over a 1. Yeah, I got minus 300 points. I mean, it's... Uncool. Everything's cool, but just for the sake of this podcast experiment, these are some surprising 16s over 1s.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
In a shocking upset. Roadies, number 16 seed, upset the band that they work for. The number one seed. Unbelievable. The guys doing the wiring and the staging, cooler than the band itself. Roadies have seen some things. They're so cool. They know some things. Upset the band. Wow. No one could believe it except Pablo. He called it. That's a one shining moment level upset.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
In another huge upset, being very good at billiards falls to being pretty good at billiards. I don't even really play.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
So did I. Not at your bachelor party. Eight days ago, dude. My skin's tingling. Okay, so this is where it happened. We get to Maui. I wasn't aware prior to this vacation. I didn't even know the humpback whale schedule. Oh, yeah. I didn't know what schedule they were on. I thought they were just kind of roaming around. Nope.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
No, but like if you send your watch away, you have to be like, don't polish it.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
You got to keep the grime. Shiny things take an L there. All right, that's that list. What is this? This is kind of... I wrote, tough call for the bouncer at the cool club. Not a definite no, but also not a definite yes. Did I send you the gif of Isaiah Thomas from The Last Dance? He's like, I met the criteria, but I wasn't selected. Yeah. Zip lines. I just, I don't know. Depending on my mood.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Have you seen this meme of Cristiano Ronaldo?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Ronaldo is about to take a penalty kick. I titled this one Cool as a Renewable Resource because one of the questions you asked me was, can it be a taught thing? Yes. Ronaldo might be the second best soccer player of all time. There's an argument that he's the best soccer player of all time.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
He's in the mix. They're all in that club. He's scored over 900 goals. Out of those 900 goals, 170 of them, over 170, have been penalty kicks. He is rich beyond his wildest dreams. Most followed person on the internet. Also, and arguably, gorgeous.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
So he hits all those calm, cool, confident, right? He's got all of those. This video of him, before he takes this penalty kick, translated from, he's playing for Portugal, is talking to himself. He says, you can cross the barrier the same as always. For you, it's normal to score. He has to gas himself up. before taking this penalty kick.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
The humpback whales from Alaska and the humpback whales from Antarctica, they come and converge. They have a little meetup. To give birth to their babies and then kind of nurture them in Hawaii. In the warm waters. Holy cow. So anyways, we get there and there's all these blowholes popping off in the horizon. And we're screaming like maniacs and like, yeah, it's whale season.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
My most optimistic takeaway from this assignment was if you are the second best at something in the world, or let's just say for the argument, the best, you've scored 900 goals, you are the face of soccer for your country, and if you have self-doubt, then of course it's okay if you're listening to this pod to have a little self-doubt. But all you have to do is be like, you know what?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
I can do this. You can cross the barrier. You can cross the barrier. I thought that was super interesting. You can cross the barrier, same as always. For you, it's normal to score. My son played in a little league tournament in Cooperstown, and I had seen this video a long time ago. And, you know, you always got to, like, yell, encourage it to the batters. Oh, yeah.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
And we're playing kids from all over the place. Like, there's teams from California who are very good at baseball. So anyways, after I watched this video, I wouldn't be like, come on, you can do it. Straighten out. And then people trying to give actual tips, straighten out your elbow, all this. My thing was, my son, Russell, I was like, Russell, this is normal for you. That's what I tell him.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Like, this is normal for you. You do this. This is normal for you. It's the best thing you can tell someone. It's the best thing you can tell yourself. This is normal for you. You can do this. And if Ronaldo has to do it, it's good for you. Final thoughts. This is kind of, this gets me in trouble on First Things First.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
When I get a statistic that I don't totally understand, but get the gist of, and Nick Wright is like, hold on, what? I'm like, I don't know, dude. But you get the gist of it. Okay. The biomass of animals. Biomass is measured by the amount of carbon an organism contains.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Okay? Carbon, primary component of all known life on Earth used in complex biological molecules and compounds. That's not really my thing per se.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
comparing all biomass to life on earth bacteria lots of it fungi tons of it plants protests i don't even know what protests are well most protests are single cells viruses archaea single cell microorganism animals and then finally here's what here's the point of this okay humans make up approximately 0.01% of all biomass on earth.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
So when you're accusing me, you're just letting everybody into club cool because I can't have that open door of a policy. Man, everybody can come in and I'm only letting in 0.01% of all biomass on earth in a few fungi. and a few animals, and no bacteria has made it, and a few plants. Some protests. The moral of the story is the world is amazing.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
You got to believe in yourself because if Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't believe in himself, has to gas himself up, so can you. And the fact that we're just so few of us on this earth at this one time being able to see whales... You are cool, even if you don't think you are.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Did I really do it? Sorry. They're only $80. Put them back. I couldn't get them on. It was more in frustration because I couldn't get them on. I'm not used to wearing these things. That's all I got.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Wilds. What else you got? Anything else? Let me see my notes. I got a free cup of coffee out of it. Let me see my notes.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
I had a thing on illusionists, too.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
They are, I skipped over them because I felt like, don't get me started on mimes. I got an issue with mimes.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
And it's like when you, shout out to all the European tourists that come to Central Park and start taking pictures of the squirrels. Like, guys, you need to chill. There's plenty of them. You don't need to take pictures of them.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
That's right. I don't know if you did any. I'll tell you what was cool. Tricking me into producing your whole podcast. You just sit here and I ramble like a day off for you. Honestly, you got to go on vacation.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Yeah, we got squirrels. That was me with humpback whales. So there's little kayaks you can rent kayaks. Oh, wait, you went in a kayak? Dude, we get in normal kayaks that they rent to people at the hotel. With a guide who's on a stand-up paddleboard. What does this guy look like? Awesome, obviously. Dude's getting whale watching tours. He looks like a human stand-up paddleboard. He's amazing.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
And his vibe is immaculate. Of course. That guy's day-to-day quality of life. We should be jealous. He's just fantastic. Shout out to John. So John takes us out because we don't know how deep to go. We're chasing the blowholes. So we're just hanging out. And next thing you know, here come the humpback whales in the distance. But nearby, baby, mother, and then the escort. Do you know about this?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Oh, wait. Travel in pods of three. So the escort is either like a senior whale or like mom's friend. Yeah. It's not the dad. And then John shows us, he puts his GoPro, he shows us a video of the GoPro. It's the baby and the mom kind of side by side. And then the escort's kind of just like a security guard for a celebrity. Yeah.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Yeah, bodyguard. Yeah. So anyways, so then the whales start, the whales are doing their thing. Me and my son, Russell, we're just sitting in the kayak and then the big circles start to happen. Yes. We're like, what in the world? Lunch feeding? No, it's just the way, it's just something's happening underneath us. And then we're in a circle. We're like, what in the world?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
We got to start paddling backwards. Whales come, then a whale breaches right in front of us.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
You know. No puns, no puns. Okay, so then I'm on the beach and I go under the water, right? And I'm, you know, I like to swim under the water. Nothing. Body surfing? Yeah, but this is, I'm just like patiently, like just going under the water, just opening my eyes. Oh. Just pop up, old man with a boogie board next to me. He says, are you listening to the whales? I said, what?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
He said, you know, you can hear the whales. I said, you can't. He's like, yeah, it's like a elementary school concert of violins, poorly played violins. So I go back. I go back under. So I popped up. And I got your text at some point. I'm like, the world is amazing, dude.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
I'm ready to make a proclamation, but you can start us. I would like to start with your proclamation. Wherever you think this podcast is going to go, because you've caught me in such a unique headspace, it's going to go... further away than you think it's going to. And here's the thing. If you don't like it, I'm okay just severancing this podcast. Being like, you know what? That never happened.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
I was like, oh, like this is a very spiritual moment for me and has like changed my outlook on this particular podcast because I feel like what's cool, what's not, you know, you see on the magazine list, oh, this is cool and this is not. Wearing your socks high is cool and wearing them low is not. And it's just, there's an element of negativity to it. OKW came back from Maui.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
I've got a very loose door policy at Club Cool right now. Very loose. Hey, oh yeah, yeah, that's cool. Come on in. Because the world is great and I'm feeling alive. Now we can start the pod.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
I don't want you to be. I want to share it. I don't want you to have any negative feelings. And I don't want to be like, ah, I did this. I'm just saying, like, I'm here sharing it. I'm trying to spread the positive energy. Don't be jealous.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
You have photographs? I can't read the words. Well, what do you want to do? I've got a lot of stuff to go through. You want me to just kind of Throw it at you and you tell me, you know. You used to be a producer.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Okay. First off. So I Googled what cool is and AI came up with something. AI. Uncool. It's fine. I guess it gave me a stupid list of what cool is. It's AI doesn't work. Oh, okay, you've thrown out the first piece of paper. I mean, cool people are honest. They're diplomatic. They're good with others. They use humor. They have autonomy.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Independent, unconventional, don't conform, and they solve problems. That's trash.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
You know what that sounds like? A robot wrote that. Reddit. Oh, the Reddit community. So I went to Reddit. This is just like kind of- You're pulling the internet. It's kind of starting an essay with like the definition of cool Webster's defines. Okay. And then Reddit had, there's two things that I pulled. One was kind of like psychology, which I got lost in.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
And then the second one, this person wrote it, 2000 dragon handle is. I'll answer this from a filmmaker's perspective. The question was like, what's cool. When trying to create cool characters, the formula is competence plus calm plus confidence equals cool. Competence, calm, confidence. Yep. It worked. Okay. It tracks.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
So I went through and so. The CCC?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Equals cool. So it works. Then I kind of came up with a Rosetta Stone of cool.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
I kind of just liked the word Rosetta Stone rather than the Madden ratings of cool. Okay. So I saw this video. I wanted to get, like, something super famous. Certainly walking on the moon is cool, but also kind of unattainable for most people. Then I saw this guy. I'd assume you haven't seen this video, but you are very online. Extremely. I know 2,000 dragons. Dragon singular.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
I think when I listened to the Chris Hayes podcast, you guys were talking about esoteric random TikToks, and he's like, yeah, that guy's great. Yeah, the hammer guy. What in the world? Have you seen this guy? I pulled a screen grab for it. Oh, okay. I'll describe it. Yeah, please, for theater of the mind. It's a gentleman fishing with a few of his pals.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
We, you know, we just delete it. Yep. I'm going to go home and have no memory. Yeah. Of like, oh, why gave Wilds a pithy thesis while he was on vacation and And he became like a different person. You have a sheaf of papers.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
Looks like he's got a Miller Lite in his hand, and he's tapping on the water, okay, to get the gators to come near him. Alligator comes right up to the boat, taps it a little bit more so the alligator opens its mouth. This dude takes an aluminum can of beer, pops it on the alligator's tooth, gives it to his buddy, who then shotguns it.
Pablo Torre Finds Out

What It Means to Be Cool, with Kevin Wildes
It doesn't matter how you look. It doesn't matter where you live. It doesn't matter, you know, your haircut or your sneakers or any of this other stuff. This is why my aperture is so open. It's just this dude's just being him. And he's getting down to the raw authenticity of himself and doing cool stuff.

I'm just going where the data leads me, dude.

What he brought us was... 71 things that are cool. We can discuss each of them. It's a 50-minute show. I would fly through them. Then the other thing you asked me was...

You should have brought a microphone. That would have been a great pod. Believe me, I thought about it. You should have a little travel kit.

I'm ready for the, the wilt, the wilt Renaissance. Like it's already happening. You think so? He has a lightly managed YouTube presence where every once in a while the algorithm will serve me up like, here's Wilt blocking one from the top of the backboard. I'm like, what? Here's Wilt jumping over a guy. Here's Wilt hitting four hook shot corner threes for fun.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Like, oh, I'm ready for the take of, you know who was the best player actually of all time? It was Wilt.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
I saw one position or something.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Okay. So the 71-72 Lakers, we just did a thing about the Thunder. Right.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
The Thunder's winning percentage.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
And it was the Warriors team, obviously. Then it was Jordan Bulls. Two Bulls teams.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Thunder in the middle. Then that Lakers squad, it was like Jerry West was on it. And then I guess Elgin had a cup of coffee. I was looking at the thing.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
He retired. And who else was there? The guy that no one talks about. Gail Goodrich. Gail Goodrich. I'm a blank slate when it comes to Gail Goodrich. But Gail Goodrich averaged like 26 points in the playoffs.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
But got rid of the donuts and he's came to play.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Could you imagine lining up and seeing Wilt Chamberlain come in for the first day? The first day where it's like, you know, there's no social media. You don't even know who's going to show up. And all of a sudden it's like, is that Wilt Chamberlain? That is him, right? That's Wilt Chamberlain, right?
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
And I'm like, Oh Jesus. You know what? The, the, the young Shaq moment that gets a lot of play on social media, all-star warmups is Jordan guarding him. I think. It's just they're, like, joking around. And he has, like, some sort of crossover. He looks like Stan Van Gundy. Like a crossover spin layup on Jordan. Like, yep, that will work. Like, yes, young Shaq.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Yeah. Shout out to the algorithm. The algorithm is starting to work.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Well, I'm a little bit obsessed with Will Campbell's arm length, but I'm going to put that aside. That weight probably crested for me.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Yeah, and his wingspan got... The longer his arms got, the shorter his wingspan got.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
It's just absurd. I talked to Jeff Schwartz about it. He's like, it's nothing. He'll just be able to go like that, and he'll be fine. I guess it's... I guess it's not, I want to be positive. I guess the number one story, it's not super out of the box, is can the Luca LeBron experiment, if you want to call it that, gel fast enough to get a championship. I still think that's the number one story.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
And the fact that they were the number one defense for a good stretch, how did that happen? Was that just a string of luck and hustle? And is that going to come down? And then I guess the other thing they were trying to figure out is the thing about the Thunder that I just mentioned is And if they are truly like on paper, a historic team, if they don't win, did they underachieve?
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
No one seems to be saying like, yeah, they don't win the finals. They underachieved.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Yeah. But they ran into a, they, they lost because they ran into a legendary performer. So are they going to, that's not what, that's not what they lost.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
No, that's fair.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Did the conspiracy community already move off of They were trying to purposely sour the fan base to move the team to Las Vegas. I thought that was the first conspiracy out of the box.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
That's just no conspiracies, man.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Just bad decision. Here's the thing. I, I was going to do a thing on, it took me a long time because everybody had their, uh, everybody had their own Luca take. Yeah. And, and I didn't, I know what's my angle on this. It's such a bad decision. And I came up with it. It's a little story. Okay. One day, uh, I was working on, we would do like commercial maintenance and like painting and stuff.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
We'd take care of like parking lots and stuff. And my boss got a job power washing. We were power washing, ironically, a car wash, the outside of a car wash. And the first day I went, I had sneakers on and socks. And again, soaked. It's a real, it's not even power wash. We're like stripping the cinder block. with this high-powered pressure washer. And I had socks on and wet shoes.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
And it was the worst. I'm like stomping around. I had like trench foot. Next day, I said, I can't do this again. I'm going to wear sandals because we're going to do a two-day project. Next day, I wear sandals. Pressure washing, pressure washing.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
The only thing worse than having trench foot is having all these little paint chips get in between my toes, and I'm stepping, and they're sharp, and it's bothering me and annoying me so much. I have this pressure washer, and I look down at my foot. I said, ooh, this would feel so good if I take this pressure washer. Oh, no. And I just looked at it, and I just did it.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
And there was no conspiracy to it. There was no like maybe Wilds wanted to get off of work and maybe he was upset with the job and maybe he wanted to go back and work on a different project. No, you know what it was? Just an absolutely horrible decision on my part to blast my own foot in some skin off. Oh, you knocked some skin off? Oh, of course. Of course. It's a blast in my own foot.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
That is the Luca trade. It's just a really bad decision that I think immediately you recognize, whoa, bad call on my part.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Just like, oh, wow, I didn't realize that. I did realize, now that I think about it, if I could go back, I would not do that again. That was really a bad idea.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
No, he's pot committed. He's in. He has to be all in. You can't resign and then all of a sudden you get Cooper flag and someone else is like, man, we did it.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
I think you have to be like, you have to come out with some messaging like, look, Defense wins championships.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
That's right. Tell me I'm wrong. Next time this franchise wins a championship, it will be because of defense. And I hope it's with Anthony Davis.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Like, Oh, a little bit.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
We're just, you know, a little bit unlucky with Kyrie. One draft pick. He can't move. He has to give it a shot.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
That's the other part of it that's bad. It was just also...
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
It's so funny. On its face is bad, but then you still didn't get enough.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
It's just a bookmark. It's just not to book it. Just a bookend conspiracy bill. Didn't hurt the sport.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Yeah. It really helped the sport. It really helped the sport, but did hurt the team. Also, not ruling out Anthony Davis. Pelican's Anthony Davis. Can he come back? Anthony Davis, when we were having real conversations, his PR numbers are Wilt Chamberlain-esque. Remember that? I don't know how long ago that was, but he was having those killer seasons and then kind of flame out in the playoffs, but
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Man, I don't know. I kind of believe in Anthony Davis.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
I saw this tweet. Go ahead.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Was that the beginning of the end or the final straw that broke the camel's back?
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Yes.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
You're back?
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Okay, welcome back. You got to start following the Woo Sox. That's where I'm getting my... The Roman Anthony takes? Roman Anthony. I was like, oh, another home run. I'm just seeing highlights. I never see the guys strike out or ground out. Everything looks great. Well, welcome back.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
I like it. I like all the stories. It's like, it's one part injury. It's one part, certain amount of that bats. It's one part. He opened up his batting stance. And then I forgot, was it Papelbon said it? Yeah. Now too many carbs. I'm like, oh, too many carbs would actually be the best thing.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
I didn't even know that we didn't, I didn't know that was a thing, considering if you have a kid in Little League and there's new bats coming out every three months, bats are like it's iPhone updates. Like, new bat. This bat's no good anymore. This bat is hotter. Oh, you need this bat. This bat's out of hits. We'd have to get a different bat. There's three different bats.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
The bat technology in youth baseball is out of control. So it was about time it caught up with Major League Baseball. You kind of graduated out of baseball bat parenting.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Baseball. I'm, I'm, I'm a baseball guy. I like being a baseball.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Well, the other thing is I think you're a little spoiled in Southern California, which is right.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
I also just like sitting outside for two hours. I won't do it in my backyard, but I'm happy to just sit outside in the sunshine. Like, oh, this is delightful. Also, nowhere to hide in baseball, which is nice. Play a lot of sports like soccer. Hey, how's the soccer game go? Oh, it's this person did this. And it's like, no, dude, like you're at that. You have to hit the ball.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Confession, although I like all- You're one of those parents? No, I'm a center field parent.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
By myself.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
I like watching the game. I like watching the game. I like watching my kids' games. And if I could have a man cave, it would be... like a isolation chamber. It would be like something that would be against the, you know, Geneva Conventions. It would be just me in a room all by myself with, I would like to have Twitter to follow along, but I don't need anyone.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
I just like to be all by myself consuming the game. I don't like to hear anything else. It's funny you mention this because
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Yeah. I don't know. If you're talking too much about the game, I just want to watch. And if you're not talking about the game, I'm annoyed. So it's a kind of a,
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
I think most people, I mean, that's a really basic.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Watch TV in a surround sound like you're in first base, like you're in a front row seat. Yeah, that happened. That just happened.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Wow, thank you. I have two odor-based ones. Great. First one coming off of what happened to me last night. Supposed to take the dog out for a walk, midnight-ish. Ah, it's kind of cold. I'll just let the dog out. I just let him out. He goes out. I hear a bark that is reserved for cartoon dogs. Like, meowzers! So what's going on here? Come back downstairs, open the door. The dog's making noises.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
He's drooling. As soon as he gets close to me, he has already been sprayed by a skunk. I realize he's sprayed by a skunk. Now he's in the house and he's slobbering.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Oh, my. It's it's now he's moving around and he's bringing this stink everywhere.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
He was making noise. I didn't realize he had gotten sprayed until he was in the house. And now he's like freaking out. And I'm like, I got to take care of you. I'm not just going to, you know, communicate him to the garage. Like, all right, we got to get in the tub. I bring him upstairs. Now you stink of skunk. I stink of skunk. I bring him upstairs. My wife wakes up. What smells?
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
He got sprayed by a skunk. Now I've got the ragu in there. I'm pouring it on him, and he kind of likes it.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Yeah, that's a thing. That's what you do when the dog gets skunked? Yeah. It's some sort of something about the Google this. No, I kind of knew that. Oh, I didn't know. I think it's like keying on a jelly, like a jellyfish thing. I think it's just convention, like common knowledge. Okay. I don't think you're supposed to use marinara sauce. I think you're supposed to use like tomato sauce.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
I don't know. In any event, now I'm covering the dog up with tomato with marinara sauce. My wife's like, it smells like skunk and garlic in here. I'm like, I know I'm making pasta in the tub, covering him up. He stinks. The place is a disaster. Moral of the story. I wanted I needed someone to call and I had nobody like the wolf from Pulp Fiction for skunks. Nailed it. Oh. Wolf of skunks.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
That's exactly what I want. Some sort of wolf skunk thing. Call a guy, comes in, because now I'm going home, and everybody else who went to work today is going home and is going to say, oh, I'm so happy I'm home. Home is where the heart is. And my entire house smells like something that God created to get... animals away. And I'm just living in it. Also, I smell a little bit right now.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
And he moved all around and it was on his mouth. So as he was drooling, like the skunk smells in the rugs. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Call... called the wolf.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Oh yeah. He can do all. Yeah.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Yes, that's sure. But I really enjoy, I would just like to call him, take care of the skunk smell. But also if you also, you know, coincidentally got bit by a rattlesnake, that would also work. So then that goes into it. So that's just a kind of, that's a one that happened last night. Here's the real one that I actually thought of.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
He actually started to like it. He liked the attention. Okay. He's going to court skunks now. Okay. This one is called Home Odors Association. This is just a coincidence from the skunk thing. This is gonna upend the real estate market. Real estate is usually based on visuals.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
right, curb appeal of the home, what type of view do you have, do you have a view of the water, a view of the nice forest perhaps? So it's one part, visuals are probably the top dog. Sometimes real estate's based on sounds. Oh, it's a quiet neighborhood. Or if you're too close to the highway, it's loud and that will hurt the value. It's never based on smells.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
So I came home the other day, someone was having, cooking up several cheeseburgers. And I was like, wow. I was just walking home like this. What a great smell. Develop a property and maybe you got to figure out the wind patterns or, you know, you have a little pop-up barbecue places. Yeah. And they don't even have to make money because the money is within the smell.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
A bakery, we have a bakery in Portchester, there's a bakery, it smells wonderful. Ride my bike around like, wow, should I go get some fresh bread? It's great.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
I love it.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Here's another one. This is not artificial. I'm doing the real thing. I'm not a Yankee Candle out here. An old man with a pipe. He comes to your house. Because I don't want the nicotine. I don't want the chance of diseases. And I don't want the secondhand smoke. But while you're at work, an old man with a pipe will come and sit down in a chair. Just for two hours? Yes. And then leaves.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
And then leaves. But you go in there like, wow, it smells like folk music here.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Yeah. It has to be positive odor. So that's what it's called. One part Winston Wolf of skunks, one part Home Odors Association.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
One of the legendary pro days story, Kobe's pro day where Jerry West brings in Michael Cooper.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
And Michael Cooper was 40 years old. Kobe cooked him up. Jerry West realizes that Kobe is a superstar. He knew it, but that was a, that is a legendary pro day story. I'm seeing cam word. Nobody's there. He's just throwing to no one. There's no opposition. Ashton Gentry, we had his pro day. He took a shirt off. Looks great.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
But he's running against literal garbage cans and jumping over little cones. So here's the idea. Remember Iron Mike Sharp? Yeah. That he would just come in and get beaten up and you're like, ah, it's entertaining. Iron Mike Sharp-esque former players. You're talking about wrestling jobbers. Yes. For your pro day. So football jobbers. Yes, but stars. Like Michael Cooper-esque.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Like Aaron Donald, look.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Any interest in suiting up? And trying to get past Will Campbell? Like worst case scenario for Will Campbell, you hold your own against Aaron Donald. And I know you're thinking the pushback is going to be, pushback's going to be like, ah, Aaron Donald's been out of the league. Like, oh, so what? You tackled Barry Sanders. He's 45. I get it. But the, I forget which, Jake Paul, Jake Paul Tyson.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
There is a glitch, right? in sports fans' minds, and it's happening right now with Aaron Rodgers, that sports fans, and maybe this is because of Tom Brady's longevity and LeBron's longevity, that the glitch is we cannot process aging of our heroes, aging of superstars. We just can't quite get it.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Of course he's going to be good. Because Tom Brady was good. We're not like, no, he was one of one.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
But if you are, you know, if you are a little bit younger than me, that was, they were the main figures of your entire sports universe. So of course the great players can go. Same with Mike Tyson. When I saw Mike, I'm like, Ooh, I don't know. Mike Tyson's got a chance. Even now it's like, no, Mike Tyson was pulling punches. Mike Tyson is Yeah, it's older than I am. Yeah.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Of course you can't absorb a punch. So that's why. Wow. Look at Travis Hunter tracking down. Look at him lighting up Darrell Rivas. Be great. Wow. Tackling Barry Sanders. Get Calvin Johnson out there. Can you lock up Calvin Johnson? Yeah. I think it would be great.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Make some money, and next thing you know, maybe you guys get another shot at it.
The Bill Simmons Podcast

Oh, that's the only, that's the only sports, a sports specific name. Because I think, I don't know if the baby consultants are huge sports fans. So you could be like, Hey, what about Gail? Gail Goodrich? Gail for a Gail Sayers? No one's got Gail.

But Jalen is one of the founders of the new business. It's like Jalen Rose, like, trust me, like I'm the godfather of all of this.

This is a quick one. I just want to give you a quick take on it. We went to Duke, Alabama. We sat on the baseline. It was in New Jersey, Prudential Center, I think. And I hadn't been to a, I don't know, the last time I went to a, I went to the UConn game at the Garden, but this was the first time I sat baseline. And we were sitting near the Alabama band, trombones, the whole nine.

Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
And it made me realize, and I think I'm right, but I hold out a chance that I'm just not, I'm misremembering it, because the band was so, we were next to the band. That there was no music playing during the game. Like there isn't an NBA game. There was no like... Oh, yeah, yeah. It was just in timeouts, the band going crazy. So I'm just putting it out there. bands at NBA games.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
It's just livelier. Like college games are like bands are underrated at this point. I think bands are underrated at weddings. I think they're underrated at sporting events. You're like, no, no, it's the DJ. They can do like I know the DJ should be better, but just do the Pepsi challenge. Have, you know, a DJ on a street corner playing a popular song and have a full on band. The band is tremendous.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Yeah. Yeah. Full on. kick-ass, brass band, playing in timeouts, getting you fired up, cymbals. It's just great. It feels like there's something to it where Yeah, they're not hit songs, perhaps. Perhaps they're just big cymbal crashes. But there's something about the liveness of it that like they're performing, the game is happening.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
There's something special that college sports captures with a band that gets lost in the NBA with a reliance on DJs and playing sound during the games, which I am not a fan of.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
That does make sense. There's a lot of seats.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
It's a great idea. 100% he should do that. I think it's good for everybody. Everyone loves a band. No one dislikes a band.

What's your next one? This one's too stupid. I'm reluctant. Oh, this is another quick one. Then I have an insane one. What do you think about the jumping three-pointer? This is a little bit of like the torpedo bat. The one-legged three-pointer like what Tatum does? Jumping from the three-point line to the foul line.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Like when this happens, there's a few things happening in sports that are so obvious.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
So I'll give you just the background. The tush push. Hey, I'm a quarterback sneak. No, how about we get everybody and just push the guy forward? Obvious, unstoppable. Seems like a flaw. I don't know why it didn't work before. Number two. Hey, torpedo bats. Hey, how about with a barrel, the sweet spot? We make that a little bit bigger and make a smaller part where no one ever hits the ball.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Wow, that works. No brainer. Old school. Hey, how about we shoot more threes? Yeah, that sounds good. They're better than twos. Yep, great. The running three-pointer is such an obvious idea. I don't know why it's not happening.

Every situation, every fast break, Giannis comes down and there's no standing. You take off at the three-point line. Bare minimum, you're getting to the free throw line for a little mid-range jumper.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
It's so obvious and it's popped up on Instagram and Reddit and people have put like Dwayne Wade did it to win a game and he landed near the free throw line. There's no, it's, it's something.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
Some team is going to do it. Everyone's going to be like, is this allowed? Are you sure? It's like, yeah, it's where you take off. It's always been that way, but no one's doing it for God knows why. I like it. There's no reason not... Is there any reason not... There's videos on the internet. It's a college three. Guys doing basically long-range finger rolls for three points.

Well, you know, sometimes I don't really take requests. I'm not a DJ, but this one is perfectly half-baked and I thought you would like it. I will read you the text that he wrote me. I have a joke premise that's looking for an audience and I'm not sure my friends who like sports nor my friends who like comedy will get it. Good start. That's what I said.

Transfer portal for families. So, I mean, it's a lot of, it can go a lot of ways. I'm going to try to keep it above board. But this is just like if my son has been doing well in sports, handsome kids, you know, he comes up to me one night, he's like, dad, can I talk to you for a minute? I'm like, yeah, what's up? I'm going to hop in the portal. I'm like, wow, really?
The Bill Simmons Podcast

Like I spent, I've invested so much in you, like my time. And I thought we had something. He's like, no, no, you've been great. You've been great. But I'm just, you know, I think I can, I'm going to move up to kind of a better dad. Want to get to the West Coast? You know, just a nicer dad. You know, I got more opportunities out there.

Your half-baked ideas in this round have been all over the map. I think you evened out from two 100% ideas and one 10% idea.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
But you evened out to a half-baked idea, so you got it. Thank you. I nailed it. What's your closer? Do you have a closer? No, I think that was it. Family portal, offensive lineman Santa. No one cares about that. Great. Selling phone numbers, that's boring. That's a real idea.

Lakers-Warriors Takeaways, Wilt Chamberlain, 'White Lotus,' and Half-Baked Ideas With Rob Mahoney and Kevin Wildes
No. Oh, maybe Indy 500. We got Indy 500 on Fox. So we can go out to Indianapolis. I'm excited about that. I don't know if that's happening, but I'm into the Indianapolis 500 all of a sudden. All right.

Second apron. Look at the second apron. That doesn't work. It's so important for Wilds to be here. Stop talking about the second apron. It's so important for Wilds to be here. Because I think... So punitive. Can't make anything happen.
