- 0:00Speaker 1: Oh what is going on? Welcome into another hour here
- 0:05Speaker 1: the wee early morning hours on a Thursday. Feel free
- 0:09Speaker 1: to check in eight seven to seven ninety nine on
- 0:11Speaker 1: Fox Militia love hearing from you. We'll roll out the
- 0:14Speaker 1: red carpet you feel like getting in here. So we
- 0:17Speaker 1: will have an in depth discussion about Anne Hathaway's hotness
- 0:22Speaker 1: or overrated hotness in a little bit momentarily, but we'll
- 0:27Speaker 1: start off with sports. Let's have a little bit of sports.
- 0:30Speaker 1: So Jalen Brown, star player for the Celtics, he raised
- 0:35Speaker 1: some eyebrows. So the Celtics, they had a commanding three
- 0:38Speaker 1: to one lead against the Sixers in the first round
- 0:41Speaker 1: of the NBA playoffs, and well, they kicked it away.
- 0:45Speaker 1: They lost three straight games, lost the series again a
- 0:49Speaker 1: first round series. And Jalen Brown immediately afterwards, like the
- 0:54Speaker 1: next day, he does this twitch thing. He gets on
- 0:57Speaker 1: there with his buddies talking about a range of thing
- 1:00Speaker 1: says that Embiad is a flopper. Flopping is ruining. The
- 1:04Speaker 1: NBA had a couple other hot takes and then this
- 1:08Speaker 1: one really caught a lot of attention. He was talking
- 1:12Speaker 1: about this Celtics season and he had this to say.
- 1:15Speaker 2: I'm so proud and it was my favorite year of
- 1:19Speaker 2: my basketball career.
- 1:21Speaker 3: Wow.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Okay, so favorite year of his basketball career is what
- 1:28Speaker 1: happened this past season with the Celtics. So if we
- 1:31Speaker 1: start doing the math on this thing, it's like, all right,
- 1:35Speaker 1: this isn't that hard to figure out. What he's really
- 1:38Speaker 1: saying is it was great being the main guy. And
- 1:43Speaker 1: I don't think that's a bad thing necessarily. He wants
- 1:46Speaker 1: to be the man. He doesn't want to be the
- 1:51Speaker 1: co pilot. He doesn't want to be Robin. He wants
- 1:54Speaker 1: to be Batman. He wants to be the guy. And
- 1:58Speaker 1: he showed throughout the time without Jason Tatum during the
- 2:02Speaker 1: regular season he's more than capable of carrying that burden.
- 2:06Speaker 1: He was fantastic. He had a great season. He was
- 2:09Speaker 1: a legitimate MVP candidate, and if you look during the season,
- 2:15Speaker 1: he had a couple of posts that were interesting now
- 2:17Speaker 1: looking back, but so obvious with him saying this latest
- 2:21Speaker 1: thing that he enjoyed being the main guy. He loved
- 2:24Speaker 1: being the number one option. He didn't want to play
- 2:27Speaker 1: second fiddle. He didn't want to watch Jason Tatum to
- 2:30Speaker 1: dribble around for twenty seconds and jack up a shot, right,
- 2:33Speaker 1: Like he liked being the guy. And so that's what
- 2:37Speaker 1: he's really saying. You could really get off track with this,
- 2:41Speaker 1: like whoa dude, what a loser mentality? He got bounced
- 2:44Speaker 1: in the first round and this is his favorite season.
- 2:47Speaker 1: He won a title, he was finals MVP. Are you
- 2:52Speaker 1: kidding me? It's not about that. It's just he wants
- 2:55Speaker 1: to be the main guy. He doesn't want to play
- 2:58Speaker 1: like the one B role or the two A role.
- 3:01Speaker 1: He wants to be one A. He wants to be
- 3:04Speaker 1: the man. That's I don't have a problem with that.
- 3:07Speaker 1: But that's what he's really saying. But it goes a
- 3:09Speaker 1: little bit deeper than that. So this is Tracy McGrady.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Tracy mcgrady's an analyst with NBC. He does this Cousin's
- 3:19Speaker 1: podcast with Vince Carter, And this is what Tracy McGrady
- 3:23Speaker 1: had to say about Jalen Brown and his frustration with
- 3:26Speaker 1: the Celtics organization.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Here you go, his frustration lies deeply within the organization
- 3:32Speaker 2: and other things that of.
- 3:33Speaker 3: Course, of course we don't really have that details too.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Oh, there's just been a lot of stuff, you know
- 3:42Speaker 2: that I've been hearing, just going on with the Boston
- 3:45Speaker 2: organization with JB.
- 3:47Speaker 4: You know. So, I think part of him is like.
- 3:51Speaker 2: I showed you guys more of who I am as
- 3:54Speaker 2: a basketball player, not only just you know, what I
- 3:58Speaker 2: did on the basketball court, but the leadership that I
- 4:00Speaker 2: displayed within you know, this team, and you've seen that
- 4:05Speaker 2: not having our you know, best player in JC, You've
- 4:09Speaker 2: seen the different side of me and what I I'm
- 4:11Speaker 2: able to bring to the game of basketball. So all
- 4:14Speaker 2: that stuff, you know, I think just came in to
- 4:17Speaker 2: play with him and his frustration.
- 4:20Speaker 1: M Okay, So, Drayson McGrady says he's pretty frustrated with
- 4:25Speaker 1: the organization now the Celtics preys over here. Brad Stevens
- 4:31Speaker 1: he he's like, I don't know what he's dying about.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Here's what Brad Stevens has to say about this perceived
- 4:38Speaker 1: frustration from Jalen Brown. Check this out. I talked to
- 4:41Speaker 1: Jalen Monday a little bit after.
- 4:44Speaker 5: He just real quickly and was nothing but positive. He
- 4:49Speaker 5: has not expressed those frustrations to me.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Okay, So depends on who you believe. Could it be
- 4:56Speaker 1: that there's a little bit of truth with both of
- 4:58Speaker 1: those guys, Yeah, could be is it possible that Tracy
- 5:01Speaker 1: McGrady knows Jalen Brown pretty well and he's been able
- 5:05Speaker 1: to gather that he's not feeling the organization for this
- 5:08Speaker 1: reason or the next reason or yeah, or he's just
- 5:11Speaker 1: ticked off with this or that. Yeah, that's true. That
- 5:14Speaker 1: could be possible. Is it possible that Brad Stevens did
- 5:18Speaker 1: bump into Jalen Brown and they talked for a little
- 5:21Speaker 1: bit and Brad Stevens didn't pick up on any frustration.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Jalen Brown wasn't like, Yo, dude, we gotta talk, man,
- 5:28Speaker 1: I don't know what is going on x y Z.
- 5:31Speaker 1: It's possible that there's truth with both of them. I
- 5:34Speaker 1: think this. I think that it goes back to my
- 5:37Speaker 1: original thought. Jalen Brown wants to be the guy. He
- 5:40Speaker 1: doesn't want to be like second fiddle to Jason Tatum,
- 5:45Speaker 1: and so that might be where some of the frustration
- 5:48Speaker 1: stems from. I would be I'd be frustrated with numerous
- 5:52Speaker 1: things if I'm Jason Tatum. The main thing I'd be
- 5:54Speaker 1: frustrated with is the head coach, Joe Mizzoula. Why are
- 5:58Speaker 1: we jacking up a million threes a game? It's just
- 6:02Speaker 1: a silly way to approach basketball. I like, I don't know.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Jalen Brown has actually gone on record saying I wish
- 6:09Speaker 1: we would have leaned into that even more, that style
- 6:11Speaker 1: of play, So maybe he isn't frustrated with that at all.
- 6:15Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just saying what I would be
- 6:17Speaker 1: frustrated with if I were Jalen Brown. We're gonna shoot
- 6:21Speaker 1: a million threes, and if we're ice cold, we just lose.
- 6:24Speaker 1: If we're shooting under thirty percent, we just lose. It's like,
- 6:28Speaker 1: why don't we have a plan? B why don't we
- 6:31Speaker 1: I don't know, shoot twos. Maybe we could make them.
- 6:34Speaker 1: It's like, hey, man, we're ice cold. Just imagine the huddle.
- 6:38Speaker 1: They should have it miked up on NBC or ESPN
- 6:40Speaker 1: whoever's doing the telecast, hopefully is not Prime. Gosh, I
- 6:44Speaker 1: hate the NBN Prime. They do a great job. I
- 6:46Speaker 1: just hate finding it. I hate going to an app
- 6:48Speaker 1: on my TV. I hate that. But anyway, if they
- 6:51Speaker 1: haven't miked up, and it's just Joe Mizzoula and he's
- 6:53Speaker 1: all right, guys, guys, we can't buy a three, all right.
- 6:56Speaker 1: We can't make it three to save our lives, all right,
- 6:58Speaker 1: but here's what we do. We're gonna keep shooting them,
- 7:01Speaker 1: just keep letting them fly. I know we're ice called,
- 7:03Speaker 1: we're like twenty eight percent right now, but just trust me.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Let's come on, guys, focus, keep keep letting them fly.
- 7:10Speaker 1: How dumb would that sound? It would sound completely idiotic,
- 7:14Speaker 1: because it is. It is idiotic. It makes no sense
- 7:17Speaker 1: to play that style of basketball. That's what sports is
- 7:21Speaker 1: all about. Adjustments. I don't care what sport it is.
- 7:26Speaker 1: It's football. It's like, hey, our passing game is fantastic,
- 7:29Speaker 1: but guess what. It's raining sideways today and it's really
- 7:33Speaker 1: not working that well. But you don't just air it
- 7:36Speaker 1: out like it's eighty degrees and not a cloud in
- 7:40Speaker 1: the sky. You adjust. Maybe you run the ball if
- 7:44Speaker 1: you're gonna throw it. Maybe you throw some short passes.
- 7:47Speaker 1: You're not trying to throw post patterns and fly patterns
- 7:50Speaker 1: or right like. You change it up. You adjust. It's
- 7:55Speaker 1: crazy to me that the Celtics have no ability to adjust.
- 7:59Speaker 1: What's whatever. I would be so frustrated with that. If
- 8:02Speaker 1: I were Jalen Brown. It doesn't sound like he is.
- 8:05Speaker 1: So that's the crazy thing to me. The one thing
- 8:08Speaker 1: in my mind he could clearly be frustrated with It
- 8:12Speaker 1: doesn't sound like he is. So that's the next question is, well, then,
- 8:17Speaker 1: what is he frustrated with? Tracy McGrady? What is it exactly?
- 8:23Speaker 1: It's just, you know, oh, he's he's very frustrating with
- 8:26Speaker 1: what with What My guess is he just doesn't want
- 8:32Speaker 1: to be Robin, you know, but I could be wrong.
- 8:36Speaker 1: I don't know. That's my read on it. To me,
- 8:39Speaker 1: it's just two plus two equals four. If you get
- 8:41Speaker 1: bounced in the first round and you blow a three
- 8:44Speaker 1: to one series lead, and afterward the next day you're like,
- 8:49Speaker 1: that was my favorite year in the NBA, And it's like,
- 8:52Speaker 1: you've won a championship, dude, you wear finals MVP. How
- 8:56Speaker 1: is this the best season of your career? Your favorites?
- 9:00Speaker 1: And that's why I was gonna say earlier, earlier in
- 9:03Speaker 1: the year, he had posted some things on social media
- 9:06Speaker 1: where he's comparing the Celtics record last season to the
- 9:10Speaker 1: Celtics record this season. There were a couple of stats
- 9:13Speaker 1: and everything was very similar. The Celtics had way more
- 9:17Speaker 1: success this season than pretty much anybody saw coming. They
- 9:22Speaker 1: just thought, hey, it's a lost year. They lost Jason
- 9:25Speaker 1: Tatum most likely for the entire season with an achilles injury.
- 9:29Speaker 1: There's no Porzingis, there's no Drew Holliday, all these changes, right, Like,
- 9:34Speaker 1: the Celtics are clearly taking a major step back. They're
- 9:38Speaker 1: not title contenders. And then lo and behold, they're the
- 9:41Speaker 1: two seed in the East and they were one of
- 9:44Speaker 1: the favorites to come out of the East. And Jalen
- 9:48Speaker 1: Brown was posting things like, yo, check it out. Pretty
- 9:51Speaker 1: good record right, pretty good with scoring, pretty good with
- 9:54Speaker 1: this we match up just like last season. He's like,
- 9:57Speaker 1: lost season. This is a gap season, right, That's what
- 10:01Speaker 1: everybody says. He's like, gap season. My ass, this is
- 10:04Speaker 1: a good season right now, look at it. You don't
- 10:06Speaker 1: think we can function with me? He took it personally.
- 10:08Speaker 1: It was the old Jordan thing, and I took that personally.
- 10:11Speaker 1: He took the whole gap year thing personally, and he
- 10:14Speaker 1: responded he played great and that has to be the
- 10:18Speaker 1: major reason why he he thought that this season is
- 10:21Speaker 1: his favorite season. He considers it his favorite season has
- 10:24Speaker 1: to be. I don't know how it could be something
- 10:27Speaker 1: other than that. You know, like actions speak louder than words, okay,
- 10:35Speaker 1: And and Jalen Brown made it clear he was like, Yo,
- 10:39Speaker 1: this was not a diss of Jason Tatum. When I'm
- 10:42Speaker 1: posting our record this season, our stats this season compared
- 10:45Speaker 1: to record and stats last season, this is not a
- 10:49Speaker 1: dig at Jason Tatum. He did come back and say that,
- 10:54Speaker 1: which I believe that's the case. I think that can
- 10:57Speaker 1: absolutely be the case. I don't think it was. You know,
- 11:01Speaker 1: Jason Tatum is holding us back. That's not how I
- 11:04Speaker 1: took it. I took it as, hey, you got a
- 11:08Speaker 1: real player here in me, right like, I can shoulder
- 11:12Speaker 1: the load here. I'm a guy that if we lose
- 11:15Speaker 1: Jason Tatument, it doesn't mean our season is a catastrophe
- 11:19Speaker 1: where we're gonna win like forty games and not even
- 11:22Speaker 1: be a playoff team, right Like, it doesn't mean that
- 11:26Speaker 1: at all. That's how I took it. That's how I
- 11:28Speaker 1: truly believe that's what it was. But your actions show
- 11:32Speaker 1: that you take pride in that. You take pride in
- 11:36Speaker 1: being the main guy leading the team to exactly where
- 11:40Speaker 1: they were after losing a superstar player. You should take
- 11:44Speaker 1: pride in that. But that also shows me coupled with
- 11:48Speaker 1: his latest comments and like that was my favorite season
- 11:51Speaker 1: blown a three to one lead in the first round
- 11:54Speaker 1: to the Sixers, who didn't have him bid for the
- 11:56Speaker 1: entire series. That was my favorite one. It's like, wait
- 12:00Speaker 1: a minute, why would that be the case? Because he
- 12:03Speaker 1: was the main guy for most of the most of
- 12:05Speaker 1: the whole season that it has to be. So where
- 12:09Speaker 1: it goes from here, I don't know. Will be interesting
- 12:12Speaker 1: to see a lot of rumors about who's getting traded,
- 12:14Speaker 1: who's going where, many questions. I would love to be
- 12:19Speaker 1: one of those twitch guys in the background, if I
- 12:21Speaker 1: was one of the dudes wearing shades and kind of
- 12:23Speaker 1: like vibe into what Jalen Brown is saying and kind
- 12:26Speaker 1: of listening to music at the same time, and you know,
- 12:28Speaker 1: we're just kind of nodding and we're doing the cool thing.
- 12:31Speaker 1: You know. I would have many questions for Jalen Brown,
- 12:34Speaker 1: like why was that your favorite season? What made it
- 12:38Speaker 1: the favorite season? Exactly? When you got to bounce in
- 12:40Speaker 1: the first round after blowing a three to one lead,
- 12:44Speaker 1: Where do you want to go from here? Right? If
- 12:47Speaker 1: you're frustrated with the Celtics organization, what are the reasons
- 12:51Speaker 1: why you are frustrated with them? If these trade rumors
- 12:55Speaker 1: you want to stay in Boston. You want to go
- 12:57Speaker 1: to Milwaukee. You want to be the main guy in Milwaukee.
- 12:59Speaker 1: If there's a young for Jalen Brown, trade and some
- 13:01Speaker 1: other stuff, what do you think you in for that?
- 13:04Speaker 1: You up for that? Oh man? I would love to
- 13:06Speaker 1: be on the twitch stream in his inner circle. They'd
- 13:10Speaker 1: be like, get this guy out of here after you know,
- 13:12Speaker 1: seventeen questions, rapid fire style. But there's a lot of
- 13:15Speaker 1: follow ups in terms of that. All right, we got
- 13:18Speaker 1: Ann Hathaway on the way, and I do love this
- 13:22Speaker 1: story where royalty calls out royalty or I don't know,
- 13:28Speaker 1: royalty calls out up and coming royalty. I don't know

- 16:48Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 16:52Speaker 1: I don't know if she.
- 16:53Speaker 9: Outbeats some other beautiful women that I can think of
- 16:55Speaker 9: that have also really been popular.
- 16:57Speaker 3: She is undeniably beautiful. I mean, I I think she's
- 17:01Speaker 3: like a brunette Julia Roberts.
- 17:04Speaker 1: Oh, and Julia is more of a redhead typically. Yeah, yeah,
- 17:11Speaker 1: I mean I get it. I can see some of
- 17:13Speaker 1: the yeah similarities. She Listen, she's a beautiful girl. Let
- 17:17Speaker 1: me not sidestep that. But what was it? The most
- 17:22Speaker 1: most beautiful woman of twenty twenty six? What the hell?
- 17:26Speaker 1: Who put this together? If you just google Anne Hathaway,
- 17:31Speaker 1: one of the first pictures that shows up is she's
- 17:35Speaker 1: taking a picture with Blake Lively at the met Gala.
- 17:38Speaker 1: Blake Lively puts her to shame. Nah that picture. It's like, dude,
- 17:44Speaker 1: it's not evel.
- 17:45Speaker 8: So Blake Lively has had a horrible year.
- 17:48Speaker 10: In the Yeah, Yeah, Blake Lively doesn't touch Anne Hathaway.
- 17:54Speaker 1: Freaking mind. Look at this picture. Just Google and Hathaway
- 17:57Speaker 1: and you tell me you see this picture, there's stay
- 18:00Speaker 1: shoulder to shoulder, and you tell me who's hotter and
- 18:04Speaker 1: be completely unbiased.

- 18:09Speaker 3: It's Anne Hathaway.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Oh, you're out of your mind. This is worse than
- 18:13Speaker 1: your tool. Take it. This is outrageous. Over here, have
- 18:17Speaker 1: you seen this picture?
- 18:19Speaker 8: I'm looking at it right now over Koop's shoulder.
- 18:21Speaker 1: Okay, you tell me what you think.
- 18:24Speaker 4: I mean.
- 18:25Speaker 9: I see two beautiful women who definitely have you know,
- 18:28Speaker 9: nice attributes.
- 18:29Speaker 8: I prefer Anne Hathaway over Blake Lively.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Wow, this is unbelievable. I don't even know what to
- 18:38Speaker 1: do with this.
- 18:38Speaker 9: At this point, I heard Blake Lively also invited herself
- 18:42Speaker 9: this year.
- 18:43Speaker 8: To the Metcala.
- 18:45Speaker 3: Well, listen, she's also five years younger than Anne Hathaway.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Again again kind of matters. Well, we're just talking about
- 18:52Speaker 1: beauty and attractiveness, and listen, I realize that it can
- 18:56Speaker 1: be that title is interesting like most Beautiful Woman, because
- 19:01Speaker 1: that to me goes, it can go beyond looks right,
- 19:05Speaker 1: Like beauty is not just looks. But if we're talking
- 19:08Speaker 1: just looks, I think Blake Lively he just had a
- 19:12Speaker 1: lawsuit dismissed or whatever was going on with the Did.
- 19:16Speaker 8: You see that movie, by the way, of course I did.
- 19:18Speaker 1: And I read the books, and you read the books. Yes,
- 19:23Speaker 1: holy cow.
- 19:24Speaker 8: It ends with us. It's it's a really good book.
- 19:26Speaker 1: Yeah. I didn't read anything. I never read anything, you know,
- 19:30Speaker 1: books wise. I read a lot of things sports related
- 19:33Speaker 1: for shows and stuff, but no books on on my
- 19:39Speaker 1: resume over here. It's probably the way I why I
- 19:41Speaker 1: sign sound the way I sound, you know.
- 19:43Speaker 9: Yeah, and one of those and one of those weirdos
- 19:45Speaker 9: like if a movie is coming out that is based
- 19:48Speaker 9: off of a book, I'll try to read the book first.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, wow, you're hardcore right there. But it's a
- 19:53Speaker 1: great movie. It ends with us. It was a fantastic movie.
- 19:56Speaker 1: But she was alleging that the one of the the
- 20:00Speaker 1: main actors and the director, the guy was the director
- 20:02Speaker 1: of that whole thing as well, that there was some
- 20:05Speaker 1: sexual harassment, and there was this and that and YadA YadA,
- 20:08Speaker 1: and it didn't go anywhere, but it was a hole
- 20:11Speaker 1: back and forth and it was ugly and right now and.
- 20:15Speaker 8: They spent like sixty million dollars in legal fees.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Crazy crazy, But you know, like Ann Hathaway doesn't have
- 20:24Speaker 1: that on a resume this year, right like, it doesn't.
- 20:27Speaker 1: It hasn't come to that, And so I get it
- 20:29Speaker 1: if you. I don't know if that I bent someone
- 20:33Speaker 1: out of shape and they're looking at Blake Lively sideways, okay,
- 20:36Speaker 1: but my whole thing is put that to the side.
- 20:38Speaker 1: If you're just looking at them side by side. If
- 20:41Speaker 1: you're on the beach in La and Anne Hathaway walks
- 20:44Speaker 1: by and then Blake lay Lively walks by the other direction,
- 20:49Speaker 1: you're not watching Blake Lively more than Anne Hathaway. You're
- 20:51Speaker 1: out of your freaking don't mind. I don't believe you
- 20:53Speaker 1: at all. If you hadn't seen and Anne Hathaway is
- 20:58Speaker 1: very talented, if you hadn't seen her in a movie,
- 21:01Speaker 1: if you haven't seen her acting, is just looks alone,
- 21:04Speaker 1: and that is it. You're telling me you're watching Anne
- 21:07Speaker 1: Hathaway on the beach more than Blake Lively. I don't
- 21:10Speaker 1: believe you for one second. That is false.
- 21:14Speaker 3: Anna Hathaway could easily crack my top five all time.
- 21:18Speaker 3: Blake Lively is not even in my top twenty.
- 21:20Speaker 1: Outrageous. Who else is in your top five? Who's in
- 21:25Speaker 1: your top twenty or Blake's not.
- 21:27Speaker 3: Even in that? Angelina, Joe Lee, Jennifer Lawrence.
- 21:32Speaker 1: That's your I know that's your girl, Sney Sweeney, Sidney Swaeney, Okay.
- 21:36Speaker 8: Anne Hathaway obviously Ann Hathaway.
- 21:38Speaker 3: And I mean, like you got I feel like Julia
- 21:41Speaker 3: Roberts is up there. I mean, like you know her.
- 21:44Speaker 9: I feel like even Souki from No Vampires would be
- 21:48Speaker 9: above Blake Lively and Pops Buck.
- 21:50Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely what Suki from what from True? But
- 21:56Speaker 1: Anna Packwin, I'm not familiar with her. I'm I just
- 22:00Speaker 1: don't know she's She's cute, so I'm gonna have to
- 22:03Speaker 1: It's a whole working list over here, Souki and I
- 22:06Speaker 1: can't keep up with.
- 22:08Speaker 3: But Anna pak was not even in my top ten.
- 22:10Speaker 3: But but she's a bump Blake Lively.
- 22:13Speaker 8: That's what I'm saying.
- 22:14Speaker 1: Wow, maybe I picked a bad The only reason I
- 22:16Speaker 1: picked Blake Lively is because they're in the Yeah, they're
- 22:20Speaker 1: in the picture together. When you google Ann Hathaway, there
- 22:23Speaker 1: are plenty of other directions you can go in than
- 22:26Speaker 1: just that.
- 22:29Speaker 9: Yeah right, yeah, I want to know how they build
- 22:34Speaker 9: this list. I want to see who our other contenders were.
- 22:38Speaker 1: It's probably uh, who's the uh? Meryl Streep was probably
- 22:44Speaker 1: like neck and neck with Anne Hathaway, probably photo finish,
- 22:50Speaker 1: probably exactly where it went in.
- 22:55Speaker 10: People magazine selected its most Beautiful cover star through a
- 22:58Speaker 10: mix of editorial cure, trend analysis, and increasing audience input
- 23:03Speaker 10: see see it's more than just a track, focusing on
- 23:06Speaker 10: celebrities who embody confidence, success and positivity.
- 23:09Speaker 3: Heck, yeah she does.
- 23:11Speaker 8: You know what who doesn't?
- 23:13Speaker 3: Who's that?
- 23:18Speaker 1: I will not stand for you putting Blake Lively to shame.
- 23:21Speaker 1: She is a beautiful girl.
- 23:23Speaker 8: I loved her in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantalonis.
- 23:27Speaker 1: I've not seen that.
- 23:28Speaker 8: See you have movies that you have not seen as well?
- 23:31Speaker 1: Okay, there are There are plenty of movies I haven't seen. Absolutely.
- 23:35Speaker 8: You always give me a hard time, but you have
- 23:36Speaker 8: some too.
- 23:37Speaker 1: You know the category and I'll get to the militia
- 23:40Speaker 1: here in a second. They want to check in the category,
- 23:44Speaker 1: I would, in all honesty, put Anne Hathaway in and again,
- 23:47Speaker 1: beautiful girl. I would put her in the Alex Morgan category. Okay,
- 23:52Speaker 1: Alex Moore, you remember the the ex US soccer player
- 23:57Speaker 1: that many people are just fascinated by, Like, Morgan is
- 24:00Speaker 1: so hot, man, man, it's like she's a beautiful girl,
- 24:04Speaker 1: but she's soccer hot. Okay, she's athlete hot. She's not.
- 24:09Speaker 1: If you're in La where it's beautiful girls all over
- 24:14Speaker 1: the place, if Alex Morgan walks by, you're like, eh, so,
- 24:20Speaker 1: like she's hot in her realm, you know what I mean.
- 24:23Speaker 1: Anne Hathaway is beautiful in her realm. She's not a standout. Sorry,
- 24:30Speaker 1: like not on the top five, top not number one.
- 24:33Speaker 1: That's crazy. It's just crazy. I'm not trying it number one.
- 24:36Speaker 1: I hate being in this position where I'm always in
- 24:38Speaker 1: the hater position. You know, like the in basketball in
- 24:41Speaker 1: the dunker spot, you're kind of baseline. You're in the
- 24:44Speaker 1: dunker spot and they throw it to you, you dunk it.
- 24:46Speaker 1: I'm in the hater spot. I don't know why I'm
- 24:48Speaker 1: always in the hater spot where I'm like, it's outrageous
- 24:50Speaker 1: to put her number one, and then I just have
- 24:52Speaker 1: to talk trash about Anne Hathaway. I don't like that.
- 24:54Speaker 3: But it's true.
- 24:55Speaker 8: I just watched her in Mother Mary. Is that the
- 24:58Speaker 8: movie what it's called?
- 25:00Speaker 1: I think so it was.
- 25:01Speaker 8: It was an interesting movie, but she was gorgeous.
- 25:05Speaker 3: All I know is that you, you know, you have
- 25:08Speaker 3: some some pretty bad takes when it comes to like
- 25:12Speaker 3: music and other stuff. But this is, this is right
- 25:15Speaker 3: up there.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Plenty of things music wise, we're on the exact same page.
- 25:21Speaker 3: Yeah, but you you're just so off base with tool,
- 25:24Speaker 3: I just ruins the entire category.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Was the worst. Mayard sings like he has half a testicle.
- 25:30Speaker 1: He sucks, The band sucks, the music is slow and
- 25:34Speaker 1: only it's a terrible band. They're awful. Sure, I hate him.
- 25:38Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 25:38Speaker 3: And and do you think and Hathaway's ugly?
- 25:41Speaker 1: I don't think she's ugly. No, no, no, no, I've
- 25:43Speaker 1: said many times. She's not number one. That's insane. That's
- 25:48Speaker 1: insanity right there. Sorry, it is. We got a couple
- 25:51Speaker 1: of Hathaway takes here. Let's let's get Zach on he's
- 25:54Speaker 1: in Illinois. Zach, you're on Fox Sports Radio. What do
- 25:57Speaker 1: you think about this Hathaway business here?
- 26:01Speaker 7: I just can't believe there's even a comparison.
- 26:04Speaker 4: Honestly, like, I.
- 26:07Speaker 7: As far as beauty goes like, I've never even heard
- 26:09Speaker 7: this other woman on the same levels and Hathaway, so
- 26:12Speaker 7: that your take on it is insane to me and
- 26:15Speaker 7: I have to I gotta time you too, and Loraina.
- 26:18Speaker 1: Here, Okay, all right, So Anne Hathaway number one or
- 26:24Speaker 1: just Anne Hathaway over Blake Lively. There's a big difference there.
- 26:29Speaker 7: I guess over Blake Lively, my dad.
- 26:32Speaker 1: Okay, fine, So so do you think the whole point
- 26:36Speaker 1: is Anne Hathaway is not the most beautiful woman in
- 26:39Speaker 1: twenty twenty six? That's outrageous.
- 26:41Speaker 8: Who would your twenty twenty six beautiful woman be?
- 26:44Speaker 1: I don't know. I'd have to do something.
- 26:45Speaker 7: I guess my I mean my wife would be my best.
- 26:49Speaker 8: What a great answer.
- 26:51Speaker 1: Uh huh, that's wow.
- 26:53Speaker 4: Man.
- 26:54Speaker 1: Is she listening right now?
- 26:56Speaker 10: No?
- 26:57Speaker 7: No, I mean she might be, And if she is,
- 26:59Speaker 7: she's out irritated that I'm still listening.
- 27:01Speaker 4: To radio, no doubt.
- 27:05Speaker 1: Well, besides your lovely wife, Zach, just humorous. Who are
- 27:10Speaker 1: a couple of the hottest of the hot women in
- 27:13Speaker 1: your book.
- 27:16Speaker 7: In twenty twenty six? Well, I'm gonna go with the
- 27:23Speaker 7: most unpopular opinion. Io Sam would love this to he's
- 27:26Speaker 7: out there listening somewhere, Kaylyn Clark, Man.
- 27:29Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Really we're just talking about I know,
- 27:33Speaker 1: yeah Zach.
- 27:34Speaker 7: Okay, nobody, nobody's gonna anticipate that, and you.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Just say I think you're disqualified. Zach qualified, he.
- 27:45Speaker 9: Lost anything any now he's out thinking the I'm not
- 27:49Speaker 9: gonna say that. Oh man, wow, we really just had
- 27:53Speaker 9: that conversation.
- 27:53Speaker 1: That's crazy, right, that was amazing. He's on your side,
- 27:57Speaker 1: just like I think. Let's for that's that hurt our
- 28:00Speaker 1: cause a little bit fan drastically. Let's get another one

- 28:40Speaker 4: cannot say and she she earned her right to be
- 28:43Speaker 4: on top of that list. I mean no, she did.

- 29:22Speaker 4: I mean, there's some athletes that look better than Anne Hathaway,
- 29:27Speaker 4: but they can't act like her or have as much
- 29:29Speaker 4: talent as far as the day to day. You know,

- 32:05Speaker 4: X Men. Nah, she when we were when she did
- 32:11Speaker 4: the X Men, she was fine. But it's too she
- 32:13Speaker 4: already faded out, man.
- 32:15Speaker 3: Yeah, X was like twenty years ago.
- 32:17Speaker 4: I mean, you know, that's what I'm saying. But she
- 32:19Speaker 4: gotta stay going on camera though, like uh and halfaway.
- 32:23Speaker 4: She stayed on camera and I was listening.
- 32:26Speaker 3: I was listening, like my all time list. I think
- 32:28Speaker 3: I think, you know, I think Angelina is falling off
- 32:31Speaker 3: like big time.
- 32:32Speaker 4: But you know, oh yeah, oh she was.
- 32:34Speaker 1: She was.
- 32:34Speaker 4: Oh my god, that mister, mister Smith.
- 32:36Speaker 3: I was like, man, she's the number she's the number one,
- 32:39Speaker 3: number five.
- 32:40Speaker 4: Oh wow, you think she's number one?
- 32:42Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 32:43Speaker 4: He was up there.
- 32:45Speaker 1: You know, I thought it was Jennifer Lawrence.
- 32:49Speaker 3: Angelina jo in her prime, Oh in her prime, right.
- 32:53Speaker 4: Mau Rushmore, Sophia bar gave Rushmore. So we got our Yeah,
- 32:58Speaker 4: we got so we got two more Fox.
- 33:02Speaker 1: But yeah, I'll tell you what it's that Anne Hathaway Jola.
- 33:04Speaker 1: I'll tell you that it's not Anne.
- 33:08Speaker 4: For twenty twenty six. I mean she is. I mean
- 33:10Speaker 4: she's bad, top ten.
- 33:12Speaker 1: No, she's not, you're lying right now. Bad.
- 33:17Speaker 4: She got like a Steph Curry type deal, like she
- 33:20Speaker 4: had a run and she coming back. It's like Steph
- 33:22Speaker 4: currk winning that championship versus the boss of Celtics. But
- 33:26Speaker 4: now you know she got her turn. But now it's like, Okay,
- 33:28Speaker 4: let's see, let's see if she keep it going. But
- 33:31Speaker 4: she may just fade into Hall of Fame status. You know.
- 33:33Speaker 4: That's what she's doing, a Hall of Fame tour. Okay,
- 33:35Speaker 4: I think you know what.
- 33:36Speaker 1: You hit on something, Jola, And thank you for checking in. Man,
- 33:39Speaker 1: it was fun, dude, it was fun to talk to you.
- 33:41Speaker 1: But the NBA comparison, who is Anne Hathaway as an
- 33:47Speaker 1: NBA player? I'm trying to be fair and give her
- 33:51Speaker 1: some props, but also be realistic as well. She would
- 33:55Speaker 1: be like she'd be like Aaron Gordon on the Nuggets
- 34:06Speaker 1: when Joki like took them to a title and Aaron
- 34:10Speaker 1: Gordon plays a role, a significant role, but he's not
- 34:13Speaker 1: the main show in town. He's not right, Like, that's
- 34:16Speaker 1: Anne Hathaway, She's Aaron Gordon. This is the Nugget. That's
- 34:20Speaker 1: pretty much what it is. Jesus, Yeah, that's basically what
- 34:23Speaker 1: it is. Or maybe maybe like Isaiah Hartenstein with the
- 34:29Speaker 1: Stop Stop It. She's important, like she rebound, she plays
- 34:35Speaker 1: good defense.
- 34:36Speaker 3: But she's not a star.
- 34:38Speaker 1: She's belong up there with SGA and Joker and she's
- 34:41Speaker 1: not on that level. This is crazy. Where have we gone.
- 34:44Speaker 1: We're in a realm that makes no sense whatsoever. You're
- 34:47Speaker 1: telling me. Sophia Virgara is walking down the beach and
- 34:53Speaker 1: Anne Hathaway is walking down the beach the opposite direction.
- 34:56Speaker 1: You're watching Anne, You're out of your freaking mind. There's
- 35:00Speaker 1: no way you're doing that. That's all I'm saying. Not
- 35:04Speaker 1: number one. I didn't say she's ugly, she's beautiful. I
- 35:08Speaker 1: think she's a beautiful girl. I think she's very talented.
- 35:11Speaker 1: Not number one, like it'd be like it'd be like Lebron.
- 35:17Speaker 1: You know Lebron with the Lakers. Hey, Lebron's still doing
- 35:21Speaker 1: his thing. Forty one remarkable, unbelievable, what he's been able

- 37:25Speaker 1: someone on board, very nice. Eight seven seven ninety nine
- 37:29Speaker 1: on Fox. That is your number. I'll get to more
- 37:32Speaker 1: than militia momentarily. First though, how about from Bervaldez. Remember
- 37:37Speaker 1: Fraan Bervaldez. So he plunked Trevor's story of the Red
- 37:42Speaker 1: Sox that was on Wednesday, Sorry, it was on Tuesday,
- 37:47Speaker 1: and so he was suspended for six games initially, but
- 37:50Speaker 1: that was reduced to five games. So he's gonna miss
- 37:54Speaker 1: a start. And I just love this story so much.
- 37:57Speaker 4: Man.
- 37:57Speaker 1: You know what I wish in sports, I wish there
- 38:00Speaker 1: was a lot more honesty because we are lacking in
- 38:04Speaker 1: the honesty department when it comes to sports. So if
- 38:07Speaker 1: he didn't see this on Tuesday night, So from Barvaldez
- 38:12Speaker 1: is pitching. He pitches for the for the Tigers. They're
- 38:15Speaker 1: facing the Red Sox, and he had a terrible outing. Awful.
- 38:19Speaker 1: He gave up five consecutive hits. He gave up eight runs.
- 38:24Speaker 1: In the first three innings, he gave up a home
- 38:27Speaker 1: run to Wilson Contreras, and then two pitches later he
- 38:31Speaker 1: gave up another home run to a bray you and
- 38:34Speaker 1: then he's like, you know, what the hell with this?
- 38:37Speaker 1: And so he threw about a ninety four mile per
- 38:40Speaker 1: hour fastball right in the middle of Trevor Story's back,
- 38:44Speaker 1: right between the numbers. What that's right right between the back? Intentionally,
- 38:50Speaker 1: Lorena absolutely meant to do it. But the lack of
- 38:55Speaker 1: honesty that we have these days. What did from Brivaldez
- 38:59Speaker 1: say after the game? He said it not intentional and
- 39:02Speaker 1: there shouldn't be a suspension in this situation. Now this
- 39:07Speaker 1: was through an interpreter, right, he's speaking Spanish, but he
- 39:12Speaker 1: was suspended for five games. He's gonna miss a start. Now,
- 39:14Speaker 1: this is the interesting part. So from Bervaldez, the last
- 39:20Speaker 1: time he threw a four seam fastball, which is what
- 39:24Speaker 1: he hit Trevor Story with, right four seam fastball, right
- 39:27Speaker 1: in the middle of the back. The last time he
- 39:30Speaker 1: threw a four seam fastball was last August. It was
- 39:35Speaker 1: August third, So like he hadn't done this in a
- 39:39Speaker 1: long time. He's thrown a lot of pitches. It's the
- 39:42Speaker 1: first time since August third he threw a four seam fastball,
- 39:45Speaker 1: and it just so happened to go right in the
- 39:49Speaker 1: middle of Trevor Story's back because he's ticked off about
- 39:53Speaker 1: the Red Sox knocking him around, hitting home runs off
- 39:57Speaker 1: of him, and so he threw That's all what he
- 40:01Speaker 1: threw out A guy I wish he was like, you
- 40:03Speaker 1: know what, my bad. I shouldn't have done that. You
- 40:07Speaker 1: don't have to give specifics, like, yeah, it was pissed,
- 40:09Speaker 1: just back to back home runs. One guy flipped his bat.
- 40:12Speaker 1: I was like, the hell with this. I'd rather just
- 40:13Speaker 1: get a shower. Let me plunk Story. You know, i'd
- 40:17Speaker 1: be lying to you if I said that was something else.
- 40:19Speaker 1: He doesn't have to say all that.
- 40:21Speaker 3: Just just don't lie to us.
- 40:22Speaker 1: Don't treat us like we're dumb. His own manager. I
- 40:25Speaker 1: love this quote. His own manager, A. J. Hinch's what
- 40:29Speaker 1: he said after the game on Tuesday. He said, we
- 40:31Speaker 1: play a really good brand of baseball here. That didn't
- 40:34Speaker 1: feel like it. It's not judging intent. I have no idea,
- 40:39Speaker 1: but I know when you go out on the field
- 40:41Speaker 1: and you end up in those sorts of confrontations, you
- 40:44Speaker 1: usually feel like you're in the your right and it
- 40:48Speaker 1: didn't feel good being out there. So I understand Boston's frustrations.
- 40:52Speaker 1: I understand the moment, and it was a low moment
- 40:56Speaker 1: of a frustrating night. That's his own manager, who knows
- 41:00Speaker 1: he was throwing at Trevor's story. He's like, I understand
- 41:03Speaker 1: Boston's frustrations. Just tell us the truth, man, all right.
- 41:07Speaker 1: Appreciating Blake Lively all next hour, that's all we're talking about.
