Everything else?
Everything else. Wearing clean underwear every day? Well, that's just a personal decision. Brushing your teeth? Obviously smart, but not a rule. Never pee-pee on an electric fence.

This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Welcome to another episode of Insights to Mediocrity. I'm Jeremy Taché here with our expert, our superstar, Tony Colatiut. Good to be here, Jeremy. Tony, tell me, Jordan or LeBron? Jordan. Why? Better shoes.
Chapter 6: How does the audience react to scripted wrestling outcomes?
That's a great answer. People got to talk about championships. People talk about points. LeBron's got more points. Jordan's got more championships, defensive, this, that. Who's got a bigger impact on the culture? And LeBron has come out with some nice shoes. I've worn them. I bought them. I have them. Right.
But the the impact globally for the culture that Jordan has made from the shoe perspective, I think outweighs anything that LeBron could do on the court, off the court. I think just that cements Jordan as the GOAT. What motivates 10 Day Tony? The next thing.
Chapter 7: What are the rules of engagement for NFL broadcasters?
The next thing. Like, yeah, we're here. We're doing this thing. You know what motivates me? The next thing. Like, what are we doing now? We're doing this conversation. What am I going to do next? That's what motivates me to get to that point. Like, we're going to be done with this. This will be filmed off somewhere. Somebody will edit it. They'll put it out on the show. They'll do whatever.
What does that do?
Chapter 8: What lessons can be learned from the Cena match experience?
It's the next challenge for you always. It's the next thing. I don't even know what the next thing is, but that's what motivates me. I don't know what it is, but I'm going to find it and I'm going to do it. It was, Hey, I shoot righty and yeah, I'm right-handed. I've shoot righty all my life. Okay, perfect. What if I shoot lefty? What if I shoot lefty in the game?
What if I shoot lefty falling away out of bounds? What if people are upset that I'm shooting lefty? Will I continue? Will I not? I do. That's the next challenge. So for me, what motivates me? Next.
Needs to be shorter. Those are insights into mediocrity. I want to ask, before we get to John Cena and Zaslow traveling to go see him submit for the first time in his career. Historically gave up.
First time in 20 years. First time.
Nerds. Loser. We'll get to that in a second. But I wanted to ask you guys, and I'm going to set this up a certain way. I wanted to ask you something related to Marcus Freeman and ask you if you've heard anyone else say what I'm about to say about Marcus Freeman.
But before I do that, I want to play for you guys some sound of Coach O. Coach O is going through the rubble of what's happened at LSU, and Coach O is telling you that Brian Kelly never fit there. I want to hear this sound from Bussin' with the Boys. And Brian Kelly didn't feel like the personality to handle that. What was your thought process?
First of all, we made a mutual decision. They fired me. We made a mutual decision. But I wanted to coach this team to the end. And I'm not leaving this team. I was ready to go. There was enough. And when they named him, he was a big-time hire and stuff like that. But I wondered how well... He would relate, like you said. Louisiana has a different place, man. People think different.
Players are raised different. People are raised different in the South. You've got to be a personable person. You've got to go in there and love them. It ain't so much about the X's and the O's. It's about getting them to play and taking care of them and making sure they understand that. He didn't do that. He didn't have to do that at Notre Dame. Right. Or if he did, I don't know.
But when he came out and said family and like that.
