I don't like to come over the top on someone else's compliment. Yeah. And I also don't like to lie. So I was in a weird spot, you know, kind of a double way out. By the way, evidently my hair is getting screwed up by the headphones. I think it looks great.

I appreciate that. All of our hair is looking pretty good. Pablo's got great hair. Wild's has great hair. My hair is fine. I'm in a room with two people objectively with better hair than me. My hair gets graded on a curve because... I used to have a shaved head and people thought that was by force than by choice. So people oddly think this is like fake hair.

Rankings matter. You know what? Can I just say something? These people that think they're too goddamn good to like, oh, for lists and rankings and whatever. That's what life is. I'm not into people that think they're too good for what everyone enjoys.

Oh, come on. Don't put that on the air.

Okay, all right. If you want to do it.

Great. Because I have no recollection.

I called you second? I would have thought maybe third, but sure, yeah. Did I have myself first or Belmonte first? I never followed up until now.

Well, do I think I am the smartest guy in sports media? Obviously, I think that. I would. And I would think anyone that is in the lane I'm in, if they think there's someone smarter than them, I would lose respect for them. Is the lane you're in breathing person? No, I don't think I'm the smartest person in the world. That's ridiculous.

I don't even think I'm one of the... No, but I'm in an industry where the barrier for entry of intelligence is not exactly high. How dare you? How dare you? And the lane I have is the... annoyingly accurate smart guy.

I would just ask the audience, what else are we going to assign my success to? My look? No. I got a great voice? No. Connections? No. Athleticism? No. Likeability? Pretty clearly not. It's like, God damn it. That guy really irritates me. But... He's smart. I learned something, and he's right a lot. That's a great take. I mean, what do we assign Wilde's success to? He's incredibly handsome.

He's one of the funniest people I've ever met. He's super likable. Yeah, well-dressed. If he had all of those things and was the smartest guy in the room, I don't think he'd be president.
