Chapter 1: How did Pat Riley secure the rights to '3-peat'?
Oh, yeah.
So lots of stuff is happening in the NBA as we tape right now. We'll keep interrupting what I think are thoughtful points with meaningless updates about Chris Middleton as we proceed here, I guess. Another bit of news, though. Maybe, David, you've already covered it. Come on. You said you have news. That's for you. Go ahead. I thought there was another trade.
The NFL has a deal with Miami's own Pat Riley. for the use of three-peat on merchandise if the Chiefs win. Look, I think people probably know by now that Pat Riley invented the term, or at the very least, got the intellectual rights to the term. But I imagine this tickled you, David.
I don't think he should have gotten it. I think three-peat is used too often by too much that to give it all to one person, I think it was a mistake by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. But he has it.
Do you think there's a former assistant coach of Pat Riley at the time who's like, that's bullshit, man. I told him that.
And now they get nothing. And I'm not on that. Now, but Pat did say, thank God. He gives most of the money to charity. That's always my favorite. Most. And we can all define what that means. But the NFL had to do a deal with him because I want the NFL to not use it. Just say back-to-back-to-back.
Red McGriff style. Well, David, let me ask you a question. Yeah, that's a good call from the commercial.
Again, things kids knew in the 90s. Oh, I know that. I don't remember the line back-to-back-to-back, but I do remember that.
Back-to-back-to-back national champions. National champs, Little League, yeah. David, you are older than everyone here today. So... I'm not old enough to remember, was three-peat a thing that was said before, like in the early 80s? No, it was 88.

Chapter 2: What is 'Is He Human?' with David Samson?
Chapter 3: Why are dynasties important in sports?
If you're a regular company, what regular company is experiencing a three-peat? Metal Ark with the best football podcast.
Oh, my God, yeah. We're going to have to pay Pat Riley if Stugatz wins again, right?
You can't say, hey, it's a three-peat. We already built him a statue. Put it on top of the Elsa. Not good enough.
Can't you just spell Pete differently?
You know what? It's funny. I saw the patent. There's so many different iterations. Like any spelling you can think of.
Trademark. I'm going to get it. If I see three Pete with two Es, I'm going to be like, yep, got it.
100%.
I find it hard to believe that people don't want to see a three-peat because I've never seen that in my life in the Super Bowl.
But David, this is why leagues like dynasties. Because it forces everyone to choose a side. Either I want to see history or I'm sick of them. I can't wait for them to lose. That's why the Yankees are great. That's why the Lakers and the Celtics are great. That's why right now the Chiefs are great. The idea that something that makes everybody watching, even the casuals,

Chapter 4: What are some behind-the-scenes moments from the show?
Moving on, I'm gonna read this one a little better. You're on a four mile hike with a friend and they forgot their water bottle, but you have yours. Do you offer them any water? This is a great one.
This has happened.
i will pour some water into the mouth of someone i'm with and i will because i won't give them the bottle to drink from even when they say i won't put my lips to it it turns out when they try they end up touching lip to top so i will pour just a little bit lip to top you say i i don't like lip to top judges i think that's very human the part where you'd say i'll pour it into your mouth
I think I'd rather you say no.
How about you hand me your water bottle and I do that?
No. I'm going to no. This is the move. The move is you say, I'm not feeling that well. Do you want me to just pour it in so you don't get whatever I have? I was sick last week. Exactly. Or you do what David says, which is... Ask the person to genuflect before you so he may pour water into your mouth from a height.
Now, that is funny because when I'm shorter than the person I'm with, I'm not going to jump on a rock to do it. So they have to kneel? They've got to kneel.
Wow. So it's like a fountain.
I'm not going to make the effort.

Chapter 5: How does the team handle personal and professional boundaries?
So we're split so far, one and one. All right, next question. Your significant other plans a dinner with a couple you find extremely boring. What do you do? I don't go. Judges? The human thing is to go. I feel like Amin agrees with him a little bit.
No, man. I'm with David.
I find a way out.
What are you saying? What excuse are you using? Oh, man. I don't want to go. I'm learning in my post-divorce life, honesty has taken over as a real possibility in every situation where previously it was not even contemplated. And now I try for the honesty. I don't want to go out with those people. I've learned the exact opposite.
Stop being honest. Just tell them the white lie that they want to hear.
Blame work. Be like, I got to watch this game.
I like sports. It's a weird job. Oh, my stomach.
Oh, I got to go to the bathroom again. I now realize as the one still married person at the table, I just go.
Yeah, I think the married person lesson is sometimes you do things you don't want to do, and sometimes they do things they don't want to do.

Chapter 6: What are some humorous anecdotes from the crew?
They've got to go to these boring-ass dinners. It's the empty nest thing. You have your kids to deal with, and all of a sudden, that's the time. Majority of divorce is either after the year or after the empty nest. That's the majority. The itch is the seven. That's different. Because when the kids disappear, you realize, oh my God, now what are we going to do?
All of our interactions are one-on-one now. There's no buffer.
I feel like I'm at divorce counseling right now. As in, people are saying, you should probably get divorced. What's next? Moving on.
David, you get asked to watch a close friend's two kids for three hours. What do you say? Crazy.
Of course not.
They're in a jam. They're in a pickle.
Doesn't matter.
A close friend.
How old are the kids?
