Who used all the Wi-Fi?
Ah, apartment life.
Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.
Maybe 2027 deserves an upgrade.
Coming August 2027, Four Lakes Properties introduces the brand new Union Station Apartments, furnished in-unit washer and dryer.
Internet included a great central downtown location, one to five bedroom apartments, and no double occupancy fees.
That's less adulting and more actually enjoying where you live.
Union Station Apartments, now leasing from Four Lakes Properties.
Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?

Tough ones to lose.
Got the Northwestern game going to Evanston and then Madison.
That one was kind of tied in with the damn winter weather.
Never a good thing.
No, it wasn't.
Didn't really play particularly well in either game, but obviously didn't shoot well.
You know, that's the glaring.
Those are the two glaring statistics from from those games.
I think we were like six for 60 from three, which.
is never ever gonna be a recipe for success.
The weather that went with it, there was the snow, there was the ice that was all kind of circulating around.
And like you said in the last game, or the last podcast that we had, can we catch a game where we don't have to deal with weather on a Wednesday or a Thursday?
And here goes again, what was the travel like for you guys to get to Madison?
So on the way there, it was fine.
But then we had to stay over in Madison, which sucked because of the, because of the snow and the ice.
Apparently there was like really bad ice kind of all around the drive back.
Obviously I listened to the professionals when it comes to that.
I have no idea what's going on.
That was ultimately what, what happened there.
So we had to stay the night, which after a win would have been great, but
after a loss, not so great.
Michigan State, this game, obviously with the things that happened at Michigan State here just about a week and change ago, this kind of changes the game for them.
They're always a tough play, but with them kind of rallying around the basketball team, does that make it harder to play that team?
Right.
I would say maybe a little bit.
You know We but like we think about them too in this case, you know, it's not I feel like it's not as much like a one-way street like you know, obviously we're you know in Their corner as much as we can't be like, you know thinking of them first with them and everything that happened up there And I think definitely like maybe like the first game out we saw was really emotional I would say like, you know, once it gets to our game, maybe
a little bit less, you know, kind of as they play more and more games, it all lessens a little bit.
But, you know, it's impossible to know, you know, like, I don't know how they're going to react or how they feel about it all.
That's something that probably got to just ask them about.
You know, you see Izzo on the sidelines, you see him on the bench, like really emotional, as I think, you know, almost everybody would be, especially like, you know, somebody like him who's been there as long as he has been.
you know, like I heard on the TV broadcast, they were saying like his son was out in one of the areas where one of the shootings occurred because he was like going to pick up his girlfriend or something.
So, you know, you're talking about somebody who's been at, been in East Lansing his whole life and knows everybody there, right?
Both of them.
And you just see, you hear a story like that.
It's kind of
it puts everything in full circle.
So Coach Izzo, you've seen him a couple of times and from the outside looking in, have you had any conversation with Coach Izzo?
I mean, I know he's on an opposing sideline.
As someone who's also a coach's kid, he has to kinda look at you and there's gotta be some camaraderie there or at least some common ground.
I mean, I really respect Coach Izzo, I really like Coach Izzo.
I'm not gonna sit here and say that we've...
We've sat down and talked about life for an hour with each other.
We've just, I mean, we've talked in passing definitely more than like some service level stuff.
Nothing extensive, but I really, I like him.
I know he and my dad have a better relationship, obviously, because they've both been, you know, in the league now for a while.
My dad and Painter and Izzo, you know, they've all been around.
And I think that, you know, they've had a lot of good talks and
I just I was like playing against Michigan State.
And so, you know, we we've had some good battles and I think he's really good coach obviously Hall of Fame coach, you know, nobody can nobody can argue that.
Tom Izzo and your dad walk into karaoke bar.
Who sings a better Bruce Springsteen song?
Oh,
my dad would never do it.
Okay.
So I'm going to say Izzo.
Okay.
I mean, maybe like maybe it was the same way, but like my dad would not do it.
Like he would just
I don't know, he would refuse.
My dad's not a big like, in public guy.
He's like the type of dude who's like, they always have the cameras on you, like that kind of thing.
So like, you know, you would get caught up if anything like that happened.
You speak about cameras.
There was a hype video that came out from the Iowa Hawkeye basketball team about your 13 assist night.
And boy, that sucker, that little promo package, man, that got me amped up.
Did you get a chance to watch that?
Yeah, I saw that.
That was pretty good.
They tagged me in.
And they had me as a collaborator on that post.
So that was pretty cool.
And it was a cool video.
We have great video people, not good, great.
They're amazing at capturing stuff and putting videos together.
And they really are good at their job.
You know Matt Matt little is one who was just on the on the last trip with us.
You know, he's he's unreal And it goes down the line.
It's it's the entire department.
You know, it's pretty cool How it all how it all goes down and like it's put together and stuff
Would you ever hold on to something like that like at that promo hype video and then watch it?
Let's say 10 15 18 years down the line just going wow that was pretty fun
Yeah, I think so.
I mean, as long as it's on my Instagram, I don't know how else I can like save something like that.
You know what I mean?
I don't know.
I would have to get some help on that, I guess.
But definitely will be something that, you know, it's pretty, pretty cool to have a hold of, as is, you know, some other games and things like that.
Like if I get some, like I think my mom has like a game copy of the Big Ten Championship, like that kind of thing.
Yeah.
Let's talk about a couple other teams that we're playing here this week.
Florida and Kentucky and during play a Florida fan is sitting next to the court and decides to get a hold of the player and kind of wrap his arm around him almost to like hold him up from getting back into the play because they were trying to save the ball that was going out of bounds and as the guy turns around the fan kind of gets a hold of him.
Did you get a chance to see this?
Yes, I did.
I saw it on ESPN, like, that night.
What do you think?
Is somebody who plays on the floor, has any fan done something even remotely close like that for you?
No, but if they did, they're getting stuck.
Yeah.
Like, I mean, you just can't grab, like, once you grab me like that, like, we got, we got major problems.
Yeah.
I mean, maybe not like stuck, stuck, but like, it's not gonna be comfortable for you.
Something's gonna happen.
So they get tossed.
And I think at that point, yes, it's a Florida fan.
But if there's Kentucky fans, if there's Florida fans outside and that changes the tempo of the game, it changes the outcome of the game, somebody else is going to get, like you said.
Yeah, exactly.
It's exactly right.
Any other shenanigans that you can think of of fans either home or away, just some things that you remember from in games that have stuck in your head?
Well, I know they ejected that fan.
And there's been instances of fans getting injected, things like that.
But I don't know if I've ever seen a fan grab a player to keep them from running back on defense.
That is insane.
You always love the guy dives over somebody in the first row and spills all the beer.
That's awesome.
Everybody wants to be that fan.
Everybody wants LeBron to spill their beer.
It's pretty awesome.
But like I've never before seen thought that a fan would actually interfere and keep a guy from running back on defense I think that guy had to have been like just bombed.
Yeah
Like I don't think anybody is like stupid enough to like nobody's gonna do that in their right mind absolutely obliterated and
he thought it was funny like oh dude like I like he didn't think I don't know if he thought like he could play it off like it was some accident which obviously it wasn't
there was a soccer match uh where a guy just found out about I think this was uh in Spain where guy gets onto the pitch and he goes up and he decides he's gonna try and deck the goalie and he punches him
Goalie turns around and just drops him with a right hook.
Just dropped him.
Just dropped him.
That's awesome.
And then he mounts the guy.
And it looks like he might be going for like the UFC ground and pound until the security gets there.
But the guy took a poke at you first.
Self defense.
Drop him now.
Yeah.
Why not?
That's the thing.
Like I've seen too many cases of like fans like getting really, you say, ballsy for lack of a better term.
Yeah.
You know, it's not the it's not the zoo.
right?
Like that's not what this is.
Like we can, this is all fair game.
We could, we can hit you back just the same.
Like you want to come with us.
Like we could, we got the same thing back at you.
It's not like, Oh, like I'm not going to pay attention, not going to pay any attention to you the whole time.
And you can just yell at me, whatever you want.
Like that's not always going to be the case.
Some guys is like that.
Some guys is not.
I want to be clear to the audience here that neither Brian Marshall is not condoning that players go out there and deck fans in the face.
Norm, I condone you to go out there and get on the court guys.
I'm sure.
No,
no.
I know.
Hey, what about like games during like when you guys are taking timeouts and stuff like that guy goes up there to throw up the half court shot.
The mascot that I saw this week that did the behind the back no look and hits it from half court mascot.
Then the other guy does it too.
Anything like that ever happened?
I mean, I got to go to Jack Devlin, hitting the freaking half-court shot against him last year.
Oh, yes.
You got it.
That's what, that's the first thing that comes to my mind.
How much did you celebrate
that?
Oh, it was unreal, especially because like we were killing him.
Like it was, it was an insane game.
Like nobody was expecting that to happen.
Yeah.
I love Jack D, but like he had been practicing that for the prior, I don't know, a while.
And to say that he was never close is an understatement.
Like, okay, I shouldn't say that.
Like he was close a little bit, but like for the most part, no.
And I mean, he just drills one, like second attempt
in
front of, you know, in front of 13,000 people on TV, unseen.
Like it was just unreal.
You just don't expect that to happen.
But Jack D is the all time famous half court shot.
For the double, double dumb ass.
I just have one question for you today.
Okay, let's hear it.
We're looking at a 63-year-old woman who came forward with a lottery ticket worth $30,000.
Her name is Sandy.
All right, Sandy.
Problem is is that cops recently get called to a Black Hawk County disturbance at her home and things went a little sideways because she was arguing with her roommate, 45-year-old Alvin Larson.
Turns out Alvin was actually the one who bought it.
And the two are now arrested for lottery fraud.
Did this take place in Iowa, Northwestern or Maryland?
Did you give me a county?
Black Hawk County.
Oh, Iowa.
Black Hawk County, Iowa.
Can you do it?
I love it!
Yeah, that's easy.
Come on.
And hilarious.
Hold on.
We need to get into that.
Yes.
What is lottery fraud?
And how do you do that?
So what happens is Alvin, the 45-year-old, he was the one who bought the ticket.
What he did is he's the roommate of the 63-year-old woman.
He owes some debt, including $919 in unpaid fines that he owes the city, so he said, hey, Sandy, can you get this and then get me back?
He convinced Sandy to say that the ticket was hers, and he promised her a share of the winnings.
I'm with that.
Okay, fair, fair.
I'm still slightly confused on why that like because we all bought lottery tickets for our friends stuff like that and I'm sure there's some unpaid tickets you know that we all have out like maybe some rest warrants on our non-kidding
book.
The disturbance at the home when police arrived they were arguing about the winning ticket itself so cops heard him saying I bought the ticket and you were supposed to do that for me.
We can't do that.
That's that's lottery fraud.
Okay.
All right.
Well, we won't do that then
the game coming up again We mentioned Michigan State and then by the next time that we record you're wrapping up regular season play with Indiana and Nebraska March 5 Your final regular season home game inside Carver Hawkeye Arena.
Are you excited for that?
Kind of emotional isn't it?
It will be, yeah, it'll be kind of crazy.
You've been through the ceremony before where you got your jersey on senior night, right?
Yeah, last year, but I didn't do it the year before.
But this will be like the real one,
you
know?
I'm not trying to make a joke.
I'm serious.
Because this is it, there's gonna be a ton of things running through your head, right?
Yeah, no, for sure.
Okay.
A ton.
I mean, they'll be like, I gotta get ready to play those things.
You know what I mean?
Mm-hmm.
Like I gotta be I don't know so it's gonna be like it's gonna be kind of bittersweet like in the moment But then after the game probably it'll be a little bit more.
I don't know fully like when I really Really feel it all I guess
well, I'm looking forward to talking to you as we get We wrap up the remainder of the regular season here with Connor we have I tell you what depending on I was gonna say one to two
Because we take it through the remainder of whatever you have as far as the season goes and I'm thinking positively.
So I could say three.
I could say four.
So it's even through tournament play and whatever.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, if you're good with that, I love that we have this going.
But I also understand that I can't just keep saying, hey, Connor, you want to come back on again?
You and your brother already have a podcast.
You and, you and Luca had something going on.
You don't need this big man over here.
We need to get back to, you and Patrick need to do that again.
We haven't done that at all recently.
It's hard to do it during the season.
And plus like, if we win, like it's great and whatever, but then if we lose, obviously nobody wants to do it.
And like, nobody wants to listen to it.
And then, so I don't know.
We got to figure that out.
When you get back to the podcast with Patrick, just saying,
So, I cast you as Jim Carrey.
Let's go.
Have him do Jim Carrey bits.
He
would do an impersonation.
Patrick's a big fan of the office.
Oh,
easy
now.
Huge.
So, like, maybe, like, I don't know, Steve Carell would be good for him, too.
I don't know if this should get back to him or not, but with his current haircut, if you put those glasses on him, he might look like Dwight Shrew.
I'm going to tell him he said that he's going to be pissed.
Damn it.
But why are you so hilarious?
Connor, I appreciate you taking time out of your day to be a part of the jock to jock podcast again this week.
Yeah.
Thanks,
bro.
Thanks for listening to this episode of the jock to jock podcast presented by rock 108 and sponsored by I'm on communications experience.
