SPEAKER_01: Hey hot girls! Welcome back to the Hoops for Hoddies Live Show, the one and only sports show for the girls, the gays of days, and the straight men who don't admit they're not actually watching sports today.
0:09
SPEAKER_01: Finally, August, some good food.
0:12
SPEAKER_01: We have so much to talk about.
0:26
SPEAKER_01: Without further ado, let's get right into the show because I have a lot to talk about and I don't want to keep you all fucking day.
0:32
SPEAKER_01: So, first, we, as usual, are going to go through my handy dandy trusty dusty notes, and I'm going to run through our Hoggirl headlines that we are going to be discussing today.
0:42
SPEAKER_01: It's a lot.
0:43
SPEAKER_01: Spoiler alert.
0:45
SPEAKER_01: First and foremost, the Browns named Deshaun Watson, their starting quarterback over Shador Sanders, after being booed at home.
0:54
SPEAKER_01: In his cancer freedom, got ejected from a WNBA game after Natasha Cloud confronted him.
0:59
SPEAKER_01: And the Dream, my Atlanta dream, took first place back in the East on a three-game West Coast run, and Angel Reese broke two WNBA rebounding records in the same motherfucking game as the Dream beat the Sparks.
1:15
SPEAKER_01: Atlanta beat the Los Angeles Sparks 78 to 71 on Monday.
1:19
SPEAKER_01: Angel Reese grabbed 26 rebounds.
1:22
SPEAKER_01: 26 rebounds.
1:24
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I mean, come on, y'all.
1:28
SPEAKER_01: You could be a hater, you could be a hater all you want.
1:31
SPEAKER_01: That's fucking insane.
1:32
SPEAKER_01: This is a new WNBA single game record.
1:34
SPEAKER_01: Those boards also pushed Angel Reese's total for the season to five 458, passing Asia Wilson's 2024 record of 451 for the WNBA's single season rebounding record.
1:48
SPEAKER_01: And the season ain't even fucking over yet.
1:50
SPEAKER_01: It was Angel Reese's 27th double double of the season, which is still the most in the league.
1:55
SPEAKER_01: And now she is just one shy of tying Alyssa Thomas' WNBA single season double double record of 28.
2:03
SPEAKER_01: Angel Reese is that girl.
2:04
SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
2:05
SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
2:06
SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
2:06
SPEAKER_01: And everybody said she got too much going on.
2:08
SPEAKER_01: She can't focus on the core.
2:09
SPEAKER_01: All right, all right.
2:10
SPEAKER_01: The US Open main draw starts on August 30th, and the college football season starts on Saturday.
2:16
SPEAKER_01: And will there be NFL players playing in college?
2:20
SPEAKER_01: Because the word on the street is NFL players are like, you know what?
2:25
SPEAKER_01: I don't want to be in the NFL.
2:26
SPEAKER_01: I want to go back to college.
2:28
SPEAKER_01: Um, yeah.
2:30
SPEAKER_01: So we're gonna get into all of that today.
2:32
SPEAKER_01: First and foremost, we gotta start with a little tea time.
2:39
SPEAKER_01: Am I going to be talking about you?
2:41
SPEAKER_01: Who knows?
2:44
SPEAKER_01: First and foremost, I saw in the chat you guys were saying, Cancer Freedom first topic.
2:49
SPEAKER_01: Girl, I see, I hear you.
2:51
SPEAKER_01: I know not to bury the lead.
2:52
SPEAKER_01: I know not to bury that in the motherfucking show.
2:54
SPEAKER_01: I'm getting there, okay?
2:56
SPEAKER_01: Natasha Cloud, Natasha Cloud confronted Ennis Canner Freedom when he pulled up to a WNBA game in a t-shirt that said woman noun, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
3:08
SPEAKER_01: The definition of a woman he had on his shirt.
3:10
SPEAKER_01: Okay?
3:11
SPEAKER_01: Obviously, he chose to show up to a WNBA game where the Indiana Fever were playing the Chicago Sky.
3:16
SPEAKER_01: Because what other WNBA games do Republicans show up to?
3:20
SPEAKER_01: Other than the Fever games, you know?
3:22
SPEAKER_01: Um, he pulls up to this game, he's courtside in his woman definition shirt.
3:27
SPEAKER_01: And he goes nuts when Sophie Cunningham makes a basket and it pissed Natasha Cloud off.
3:34
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I'm pulling up this loser's fucking tweets, like, just lame.
3:38
SPEAKER_01: Like, I this shit was traumatizing to me, y'all.
3:40
SPEAKER_01: I haven't been so irritated by a person literally ever.
3:45
SPEAKER_01: Okay, here we go.
3:46
SPEAKER_01: Pulls up to the game, and this shirt, can you guys see my phone?
3:50
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
3:50
SPEAKER_01: It says, if you're listening on audio, woman now, adult human, female.
3:56
SPEAKER_01: This is the same man who declared for the WNBA draft after announcing that he now identifies as a woman.
4:03
SPEAKER_01: And since that's how it works and he can just be a woman, he decided to declare for the WNBA draft and basically make a mockery of the whole thing.
4:12
SPEAKER_01: What's new since yesterday, okay, since he was ejected from the game, after going nuts when Sophie Cunningham made a basket and Natasha Cloud, who is known, if you guys aren't familiar with Tash Cloud, she is known for being an activist in the WNBA.
4:27
SPEAKER_01: Okay, she's known for sticking up for black women, for women in general, for women's sports, for the gays, for LGBTQ, like everybody, okay?
4:36
SPEAKER_01: But uh even Palestine, she has spoken on.
4:39
SPEAKER_01: So she is very much an activist in her sport.
4:42
SPEAKER_01: And obviously, this man pulling up to a WNBA game was gonna, and I don't mean this word in the way that like Republicans mean it, but obviously she's gonna be triggered by the fact that he's sitting there in that shirt and just he's mocking them.
4:54
SPEAKER_01: He's not there because he actually wants to watch basketball, he's not there because he gives a fuck about these girls.
4:58
SPEAKER_01: He's there because he was a subpar NBA player that nobody gives a singular fuck about.
5:03
SPEAKER_01: And he is trying to secure his post-uh NBA career as a Republican panda artist.
5:10
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so comes this game acting a fool.
5:14
SPEAKER_01: He goes nuts, absolutely nuts when Sophie Cunningham makes a shot.
5:18
SPEAKER_01: Natasha Cloud gets pissed off.
5:19
SPEAKER_01: And according to Ennis Cantor Freedom, who went on Fox News, obviously, to talk about the situation, she said she's not gonna sleep with you.
5:29
SPEAKER_01: Clucked it, clucked it, clucked it, hoe, clocked it, bitch, clocked it, motherfucker, clock it.
5:34
SPEAKER_01: Cause you're not here because you don't, because you give a singular fuck about the WNBA.
5:37
SPEAKER_01: And here's the thing: I've talked so much about this over the last month, and I started to feel I was starting to feel annoying.
5:42
SPEAKER_01: Like I was like, okay, I need to let this go.
5:46
SPEAKER_01: I need to let this go, okay?
5:49
SPEAKER_01: But my thing is it really bothers me that these people, Republicans, okay, Trump supporters, they latch on to a non-issue, like this fear-mongering issue to distract them from anything like important that's actually going on in the world, right?
6:04
SPEAKER_01: They latch onto a non-issue, they become afraid of trans people, they see Sophie Cunningham as an American fucking hero, and now they're all WNBA fans because they truly, they truly believe that they want to protect women's sports and protect women.
6:16
SPEAKER_01: Like they truly believe that.
6:17
SPEAKER_01: And I find it so funny that when you ask them, name a WNBA player, they're like, Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, you can't even name like Kelsey Mitchell, you can't even name a fever player.
6:27
SPEAKER_01: Besides those two, you don't give a fuck about woman's sports.
6:30
SPEAKER_01: Like, I wish they would just say what it is.
6:32
SPEAKER_01: I am uncomfortable around and about trans people.
6:36
SPEAKER_01: I wish they would just be honest about that.
6:39
SPEAKER_01: I don't want trans people to play sports, period.
6:41
SPEAKER_01: If they could just say that, I would have more respect for it.
6:44
SPEAKER_01: But the whole I'm protecting woman bullshit of it all, like, please miss me with that fucking shit.
6:49
SPEAKER_01: The man you voted for to run the country is a rapist.
6:54
SPEAKER_01: And you care about protecting women.
6:56
SPEAKER_01: I don't, I literally don't have time for this.
6:58
SPEAKER_01: I don't have time for this.
6:59
SPEAKER_01: I posted about my opinion on the situation afterwards, and I said, this is Sophie Cunningham's fault.
7:05
SPEAKER_01: And a lot of people were like, You're brain dead.
7:07
SPEAKER_01: How could you blame Sophie Cunningham?
7:08
SPEAKER_01: This is this is about the league.
7:11
SPEAKER_01: This is Kathy Ingelbert's fault.
7:13
SPEAKER_01: Look, Kathy isn't my favorite person.
7:15
SPEAKER_01: Okay, she's not my favorite person.
7:16
SPEAKER_01: However, all roads in this situation where trans women have become the topic of discussion when it comes to the WNBA, all anyone can talk about isn't the fact that Caitlin Clark got her career high and threes in that game, that she and Kelsey Mitchell scored 35 and 30 points respectively, isn't the fact that Angel Reese is breaking records every time she steps out on the court.
7:37
SPEAKER_01: Those are the things that people want to talk about.
7:39
SPEAKER_01: They want to talk about whether or not trans women should be allowed to play in the WNBA, and there are no trans women in the WNBA because Sophie Cunningham made those comments in the first place.
7:48
SPEAKER_01: And then when she had the opportunity to say, hey, you know what?
7:52
SPEAKER_01: I spoke on that issue.
7:54
SPEAKER_01: I didn't want to distract from things with my team.
7:56
SPEAKER_01: I completely distanced myself from these men that are making a mockery of my sport, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
8:00
SPEAKER_01: She doubled down.
8:01
SPEAKER_01: So and took pictures with that fucking loser bitch whose name I will never say.
8:05
SPEAKER_01: Y'all know the one, who's made a career off of making millions scamming these fucking Republicans that are just looking for something to believe in and something to fucking follow.
8:14
SPEAKER_01: Millions scamming these people and making them believe that they're really buying into something that's fucking important.
8:20
SPEAKER_01: And took a picture with her.
8:21
SPEAKER_01: Sophie kind of gave took a picture with this bitch.
8:23
SPEAKER_01: Like she knows what she's doing.
8:24
SPEAKER_01: And I actually saw, I wish I remembered the name of the person who commented this on my TikTok, that Sophie is, she's a subpar at best, and that's me being kind WMBA player, who's made a career off of the back of Caitlin Clark, who is extremely talented.
8:40
SPEAKER_01: And I've said that on multiple occasions.
8:41
SPEAKER_01: I don't know why people think I hate her.
8:43
SPEAKER_01: I hate her PR strategy and I hate the way she responds to big issues, but I don't hate her.
8:47
SPEAKER_01: And listen, I'm a sports fan, okay?
8:49
SPEAKER_01: She's talented as fuck.
8:50
SPEAKER_01: She's made her career off the back of Caitlin Clark and off the back of the fact that Caitlin Clark's career is a little bit catered towards these Republicans that never have gave a fuck about women's sports, right?
8:59
SPEAKER_01: And she latched onto that and she piggybacked off of that.
9:02
SPEAKER_01: She hit her million followers and her jersey sold out.
9:04
SPEAKER_01: She got all this fame from the bar stool community of it all, right?
9:08
SPEAKER_01: And now her whole personality is pandering to Republicans.
9:11
SPEAKER_01: And the reason that she is not gonna come out and say something that would actually dismiss this issue and make us focus on basketball-like things because she keeps saying, I just want people to focus on basketball, but then keeps on bringing up these non-basketball issues, and you know what I'm saying.
9:25
SPEAKER_01: She knows what the fuck she's doing, this breadcoming, right?
9:26
SPEAKER_01: Like bringing up these issues, being hateful towards trans people, like what like and then saying she's not being hateful, right?
9:31
SPEAKER_01: She knows what the fuck she's doing.
9:32
SPEAKER_01: She's setting herself for a post-WNBA career for being a I don't know, a career Republican panderer.
9:40
SPEAKER_01: Is that a word?
9:41
SPEAKER_01: For having a uh podcast, like what is that?
9:45
SPEAKER_01: What's that fucking nasty bitch?
9:47
SPEAKER_01: What's her name?
9:48
SPEAKER_01: Megan Kelly.
9:49
SPEAKER_01: She's like setting up her career for that to like be on Fox News and be like a sports correspondent.
9:54
SPEAKER_01: And yeah, like she's trying to get her fucking paper.
9:58
SPEAKER_01: She's trying to get her fucking paper.
10:00
SPEAKER_01: And honestly, good for her.
10:02
SPEAKER_01: You go, girl.
10:04
SPEAKER_01: Cause listen, I I can't stand her.
10:08
SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
10:08
SPEAKER_01: Anyways, so I blame her for the situation.
10:12
SPEAKER_01: Because she knows what the fuck she's doing.
10:13
SPEAKER_01: And then she's like, I just wish people would focus on sports.
10:16
SPEAKER_01: There's so much good things happening in the WNBA.
10:19
SPEAKER_01: Girl, girl, girl.
10:21
SPEAKER_01: This is like the friend who comes to the function and starts shit every time.
10:25
SPEAKER_01: Every time she gets drunk, she gets sloppy.
10:27
SPEAKER_01: She's breaking stuff, she's slipping, she's falling.
10:29
SPEAKER_01: Like every time she gets drunk, she ruins the function.
10:31
SPEAKER_01: We all gotta leave because we gotta take her home because she's throwing up in the Uber and blah blah blah blah.
10:35
SPEAKER_01: Like every time, but then the next day she wake up in the morning and say, I just wish we could have a good time.
10:40
SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't know why.
10:41
SPEAKER_01: Like every time we go out, it has to get ruined.
10:43
SPEAKER_01: Like, I just want I like I want to enjoy my time.
10:46
SPEAKER_01: Like everybody always killing my fucking vibe.
10:48
SPEAKER_01: Like, bitch, you the one throwing up in the fucking Uber.
10:50
SPEAKER_01: You the one can't hold your fucking liquor.
10:52
SPEAKER_01: Being sloppy every time you drink, bitch.
10:54
SPEAKER_01: That's Sophie Cunningham.
10:56
SPEAKER_01: You blaming everybody else for the vibes that you fucked up.
10:59
SPEAKER_01: I ugh.
11:00
SPEAKER_01: Now, anyways, the tea I wanted to give y'all was I don't know if a lot of people know that Sophie and Natasha Cloud used to be teammates at the Mercury, on the Mercury, I should say, before Sophie left, and then she was accused of sleeping with the owner and all that fucking shit.
11:18
SPEAKER_01: They were teammates and seemingly friends.
11:21
SPEAKER_01: And Tosh had tweeted, came out to the public, and basically said, like, you can't say you love me and then vote against my rights as a human being.
11:30
SPEAKER_01: And everybody was like, She's talking about, she's talking about Sophie.
11:36
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
11:37
SPEAKER_01: So that friendship got broke up.
11:39
SPEAKER_01: So it's just interesting that Sophie and Tosh were playing against each other.
11:41
SPEAKER_01: They're they used to be friends, they used to be teammates, and they fell out over this like political human rights stuff.
11:48
SPEAKER_01: And now another situation arises when these two meet.
11:51
SPEAKER_01: It's just like fuck.
11:53
SPEAKER_01: So, anyways, that's it for the tea on tea time today.
11:57
SPEAKER_01: Enus Cantor Freedom is a fuck nigga and a bitch.
12:00
SPEAKER_01: He is he is a bitch and he has too much time on his hands.
12:03
SPEAKER_01: That's all I have to say on the subject.
12:05
SPEAKER_01: And I'm glad that he got to stick his two feet on a basketball court because that's the most time he's gotten to spend on the court in his whole career.
12:12
SPEAKER_01: All right, next, let's talk about our hot girl lesson of the day.
12:16
SPEAKER_01: I feel like we need a little bit of a palette cleanser after that, after that situation.
12:21
SPEAKER_01: Okay, that was a bit much for me.
12:23
SPEAKER_01: We are going to get into some fun facts about the US Open.
12:25
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna explain you the tea about the US Open because it's one of my favorite times of the year.
12:29
SPEAKER_01: But before we do that, I wanted to explain a little piece of tea, a little piece of lore that really gagged my shit, okay?
12:38
SPEAKER_01: Really rocked me, right?
12:40
SPEAKER_01: I wanna talk about NFL players going back to college.
12:45
SPEAKER_01: Yes, this is real.
12:48
SPEAKER_01: Yes, this is real.
12:50
SPEAKER_01: This actually happened and occurred.
12:53
SPEAKER_01: Here's the T.
12:54
SPEAKER_01: On Sunday, Cleveland wave tied in Daquan Wright, specifically so he could go back to college.
13:00
SPEAKER_01: He'd played in the Browns preseason game on Saturday.
13:04
SPEAKER_01: And if he clears waivers, he can join Lane Kiffin at LSU, which is ranked 11th.
13:10
SPEAKER_01: So basically, this man played in a preseason game for the NFL for the Browns, and they are now going to waive him so he can go play college football at LSU.
13:20
SPEAKER_01: He would be the first person ever to play in the NFL and then go back to college football.
13:26
SPEAKER_01: To get college eligibility back, these players have to terminate their pro contracts and repay anything that they have earned.
13:32
SPEAKER_01: Jack Pyburn, a Buccaneers linebacker and former LSU player, is one of the plaintiffs.
13:38
SPEAKER_01: His deal guaranteed$115,000, including a$15,000 signing bonus.
13:45
SPEAKER_01: He would have to give that back to go play in college.
13:49
SPEAKER_01: Here's why they would do this.
13:50
SPEAKER_01: If any of you are wondering, like if any of you are wondering why like they would choose to leave the NFL and go back to college, like if you are wondering why they would do that, he could make more in one season at LSU on an NIL or revenue shared deal than he'd make on an NFL practice squad.
14:10
SPEAKER_01: And it's guaranteed rather than week to week money.
14:14
SPEAKER_01: Practice squad guys get cut constantly, but in a starting SEC roster spot and a good offense is more money and more certainty.
14:22
SPEAKER_01: So he would make more money going back to college than he would in the NFL.
14:25
SPEAKER_01: So why stay in the NFL?
14:27
SPEAKER_01: Because he's not gonna be guaranteed on the team.
14:29
SPEAKER_01: He's a practice squad player, he could get cut anyways, it doesn't matter.
14:32
SPEAKER_01: Here's why the timing of all of this matters NFL teams cut to 53 players on Sunday, August 30th.
14:39
SPEAKER_01: Hundreds of players get released that day.
14:41
SPEAKER_01: Every rookie on the bubble now has a real option that didn't exist a week ago, and every agent knows it.
14:49
SPEAKER_01: They could choose if they get cut to go back to college.
14:52
SPEAKER_01: Now, Lane Kiffin, if you're wondering what he's saying, because of course all roads, all messy bitch roads lead back to Lane Kiffin.
14:59
SPEAKER_01: His messy ass.
15:00
SPEAKER_01: Um, literally taking pictures, taking players out of the NFL to play for his LSU team.
15:05
SPEAKER_01: He is not playing, I'll give him that.
15:07
SPEAKER_01: But he's being very open about this whole situation.
15:09
SPEAKER_01: He wouldn't name the players on Monday, but said that the guys in the lawsuit are available to recruit, so LSU is recruiting them like everyone else.
15:16
SPEAKER_01: And that if they don't, they might end up playing against them.
15:19
SPEAKER_01: Basically, if they don't come to LSU, they could go somewhere else.
15:22
SPEAKER_01: So if they gonna go anywhere, they're coming to my program.
15:25
SPEAKER_01: I'm trying to be good at football, not moral, bitch.
15:27
SPEAKER_01: I don't care if you're mad about it.
15:29
SPEAKER_01: And honestly, it's a doggy dog world with these college coaches.
15:36
SPEAKER_01: Okay, they don't win, they get fired.
15:38
SPEAKER_01: So they gotta, they gotta do what they gotta do.
15:41
SPEAKER_01: We actually had um Ohio State's coach, uh Ryan Day, respond to this whole situation and basically said, look, I don't agree with it, but if the opportunity presents itself, I gotta do what's best for Ohio State.
15:58
SPEAKER_01: I don't I don't care if it's right or not.
16:00
SPEAKER_01: I have to do what's best for us to win.
16:03
SPEAKER_01: So I like, you know, now, some of these guys played for Kippen at Ole Miss, Xavion Harris, a Saints defensive tackle, and Wydat Williams, a Cardinal safety.
16:15
SPEAKER_01: Ryan Day said that he told himself he'd stop calling these things crazy and then said it's frustrating that rosters aren't locked this late, that these changes are still happening.
16:26
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh the SEC is separately asking Congress to pass the Protect College Sports Act, but Congress isn't back until mid-September.
16:33
SPEAKER_01: So between now and then, more state lawsuits are basically guaranteed, and college rosters can keep changing after the season starts.
16:41
SPEAKER_01: The Big Ten actually made a rule that college players once you once you are declared for the NFL draft, you cannot come back and play for the Big Ten.
16:51
SPEAKER_01: So good for them doing something about it.
16:54
SPEAKER_01: This is fucking ridiculous, you guys.
16:56
SPEAKER_01: This is fucking ridiculous, you guys.
16:58
SPEAKER_01: Not oh my goodness, not my live is getting blocked for harassment and bullying.
17:03
SPEAKER_01: Are there the pubs in the chat trying my shit, trying to ruin the Hooster Hotdy's live vibes?
17:08
SPEAKER_01: Girl, I I will sit up here and talk if I'm talking to one person.
17:11
SPEAKER_01: If I'm talking to one person, bitch, I will sit up here and talk.
17:14
SPEAKER_01: You will not silence me, you fucking bitches.
17:16
SPEAKER_01: Not me, okay.
17:17
SPEAKER_01: Maybe that's why.
17:18
SPEAKER_01: Maybe that's maybe that's why they think I'm a bully.
17:23
SPEAKER_01: Uh, I see you, chat.
17:24
SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
17:25
SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
17:25
SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry there were pubs are coming into our chat and trying to kill our fucking vibe.
17:29
SPEAKER_01: But guess what?
17:30
SPEAKER_01: Y'all know one monkey don't stop no show.
17:32
SPEAKER_01: Okay, this circuit's gonna this circuit's gonna go on regardless.
17:35
SPEAKER_01: If I gotta, if I gotta talk to one person, okay?
17:38
SPEAKER_01: So we're gonna continue.
17:39
SPEAKER_01: But back to the college situation.
17:40
SPEAKER_01: Who really gets fucked here are college students who haven't gotten the opportunity to start their career at all, right?
17:47
SPEAKER_01: To get to play in college.
17:48
SPEAKER_01: Like people who are actually going to class and like trying to have a college football career.
17:54
SPEAKER_01: I think that it's so unfortunate because I know that college players deserve to get paid.
18:00
SPEAKER_01: Like, I know that they do deserve to get paid, they deserve their money.
18:03
SPEAKER_01: But the what the doors that NIL has opened are a little bit like it's ruining college sports.
18:11
SPEAKER_01: It doesn't even feel like college sports anymore at this point.
18:13
SPEAKER_01: And they're not even trying to hide it.
18:15
SPEAKER_01: Like, at least they used to try to pretend that these guys were normal student athletes.
18:19
SPEAKER_01: Now it's like we are here to win, we are here to get these guys to the NFL.
18:22
SPEAKER_01: I am not trying to lose my fucking job, and I will take a guy out of the NFL if I have to.
18:26
SPEAKER_01: It's just like icky.
18:28
SPEAKER_01: As somebody who loves college football, the integrity of the whole thing is just like dismantling brick by brick.
18:34
SPEAKER_01: I don't know how we get back to it being in a normal state, but college football is so I actually did a back to school tour for a brand.
18:42
SPEAKER_01: I don't know if I should say the name because I don't like, I don't know.
18:44
SPEAKER_01: You know how you know how it gets sticky.
18:47
SPEAKER_01: I was talking to college athletes, and a lot of the football players were telling me, I'm I'm asking them, what's your favorite place on campus?
18:55
SPEAKER_01: Or do you like to listen to music before practice?
18:58
SPEAKER_01: Things like that.
18:58
SPEAKER_01: And they're like, oh, I'm never on campus.
19:00
SPEAKER_01: I don't even know where that is.
19:02
SPEAKER_01: What do you mean you're never on campus?
19:04
SPEAKER_01: What do you mean you're never on campus and this is where you go?
19:06
SPEAKER_01: Like, something about that is just a little bit depressing for me.
19:12
SPEAKER_01: So I don't like it.
19:13
SPEAKER_01: I don't like any of it.
19:14
SPEAKER_01: I hope we can get to a space where college football can be protected and these people can be students, and we can't have that amateur sports that love again.
19:23
SPEAKER_01: Because right now it's just kind of icky and it's unfortunate for the players that are actually in college that I, a 26-year-old, could be like, you know what?
19:34
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna go back to college and play a sport.
19:36
SPEAKER_01: Like it's uh, I don't like it.
19:38
SPEAKER_01: I don't like anything about it.
19:39
SPEAKER_01: Now let's talk a little bit about the US Open.
19:41
SPEAKER_01: Now, for my girlies that aren't super interested in tennis, I'm giving you the background that you need to enjoy the US Open this year because it seriously is so much fun.
19:50
SPEAKER_01: It's so much fun.
19:51
SPEAKER_01: It's kind of feels like when we were all watching the World Cup for a second and like becoming football fans for a second and like getting into a new sport.
19:57
SPEAKER_01: That's how I get when it's around the time with the US Open.
19:59
SPEAKER_01: I went last year, I had the time of my life, it was bougie, it was fun, it was everything.
20:03
SPEAKER_01: Now, Serena Williams is back at the US Open today.
20:07
SPEAKER_01: She retired in 2022, and that tournament was her goodbye.
20:11
SPEAKER_01: She's playing again for the first time since.
20:14
SPEAKER_01: She's playing with Carlos Alcaraz, he is the biggest star in the sport right now.
20:18
SPEAKER_01: He's 23, he's Spanish, and he won the tournament last year.
20:21
SPEAKER_01: They got paired up as a novelty, and it's the only thing anyone is talking about.
20:27
SPEAKER_01: Together, they've won 29 major titles.
20:29
SPEAKER_01: She has 23, he has six.
20:31
SPEAKER_01: That's more than any pair like this has ever had.
20:33
SPEAKER_01: Majors are the four big tournaments a year, and winning one is the whole point of a career.
20:38
SPEAKER_01: Most players get zero.
20:39
SPEAKER_01: Carlos Alcaraz hasn't played much since April when he hurt his wrist and disappeared for four months.
20:43
SPEAKER_01: He's the defending champion, and this is his first swing at anything, which is a strange way, if I do say myself myself, to come back.
20:50
SPEAKER_01: She won this exact event in 1998, 28 years ago as a teenager.
20:55
SPEAKER_01: She's also won the main singles title five times here since.
21:00
SPEAKER_01: Okay?
21:01
SPEAKER_01: She's not playing in the real tournament, or you know, the real tournament.
21:05
SPEAKER_01: Mixed doubles is a side event that happens the week before the main draw starts.
21:09
SPEAKER_01: She's only in that one.
21:10
SPEAKER_01: She played in Wimbledon this summer and lost in the first round in Cincinnati with Venus two weeks ago.
21:16
SPEAKER_01: Now, fun facts about the tournament in general.
21:19
SPEAKER_01: The money is huge this year.
21:21
SPEAKER_01: The US Open is paying out$108 million total.
21:27
SPEAKER_01: That's the most any tennis tournament has ever paid.
21:30
SPEAKER_01: You get$140,000 just for losing your first match.
21:36
SPEAKER_01: The most money anyone's ever gotten for that.
21:38
SPEAKER_01: Winning it, you get$5.5 million.
21:41
SPEAKER_01: Now, the interesting thing is the champion share is shrinking on purpose.
21:44
SPEAKER_01: The champion is making less money on purpose.
21:47
SPEAKER_01: 10 years ago, the winners took about 18% of all of the money.
21:51
SPEAKER_01: Now it's under 13%.
21:52
SPEAKER_01: Now they're deliberately making the champion make less money because they want more players that participate in the US Open to get to make money.
22:00
SPEAKER_01: And have opportunities as well because it's very expensive to be a tennis pro.
22:06
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
22:06
SPEAKER_01: A lot of them are paying for flights and training and all of this stuff.
22:12
SPEAKER_01: They deserve to be well compensated, even if they don't win the whole thing, because they are making money for the tournament in general by playing.
22:19
SPEAKER_01: So most pros can't even cover their own travel and coaching.
22:22
SPEAKER_01: And that's a huge problem in the sport.
22:24
SPEAKER_01: The players had a threatened to boycott to get this money.
22:26
SPEAKER_01: 20 of them signed a letter in March, and at the French Open, they protested by walking out of press conferences after 15 minutes.
22:33
SPEAKER_01: The tournament came back with the raise plus a$2 million welfare fund and the players called it off.
22:38
SPEAKER_01: So that's the US Open.
22:40
SPEAKER_01: I'm excited to watch it.
22:41
SPEAKER_01: I hope you guys enjoy it and you're gonna be following along with me.
22:44
SPEAKER_01: Now let's get into our next segment.
22:47
SPEAKER_01: And this is gonna be our last segment.
22:49
SPEAKER_01: Wait, I'm sad.
22:49
SPEAKER_01: I'm sad.
22:50
SPEAKER_01: I'm depressed! I'm depressed.
22:51
SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
22:52
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so we are going to be getting into our last segment.
22:56
SPEAKER_01: Let me find a motherfucking sound for this one.
22:58
SPEAKER_01: You know?
22:59
SPEAKER_01: I feel like we need a sound for this one.
23:01
SPEAKER_01: So we are going to get into our final segment, and it is film study.
23:13
SPEAKER_01: We are going to be talking about Deshaun Watson.
23:17
SPEAKER_01: Sorry.
23:18
SPEAKER_01: Uh I had a little tickle in my throat.
23:23
SPEAKER_01: His name is like fucking mucus in the back of my throat.
23:27
SPEAKER_01: Just fucking disgusting.
23:29
SPEAKER_01: Here's what happened was listen, this nigga Deshaun Watson was announced to be the starter in Cleveland over Shador Sanders.
23:37
SPEAKER_01: Yep, yep, yep.
23:38
SPEAKER_01: Um Monkin announced on Monday, yesterday, that Deshaun Watson will start as Cleveland season opener against Jacksonville on September 13th, beating out Shador Sanders for the job.
23:52
SPEAKER_01: This decision came two days after Deshaun Watson's rough second preseason outing against Buffalo.
23:59
SPEAKER_01: He was 5 of 12, passing for 35 yards, an interception, and loud booze from the Browns fans.
24:07
SPEAKER_01: He was booed by his own fans.
24:08
SPEAKER_01: All while Shador Sanders had gone 9 of 11 for 74 yards with a touchdown in that same game.
24:15
SPEAKER_01: Munkin said that the call wasn't about one game.
24:18
SPEAKER_01: Deshaun Watson's week two struggles were, quote, just another data point and a set of hundreds.
24:24
SPEAKER_01: And Watson's frustration about being booed wouldn't factor into that decision.
24:28
SPEAKER_01: He pointed instead to Watson's NFL experience and familiarity with the offense.
24:34
SPEAKER_01: So what he is referring to is a lot of people, myself included, did not think Deshaun Watson would get that starting job after he was booed by fans because he was playing like Doodoo Cheek's ass, ass, asshole, ass wipe.
24:50
SPEAKER_01: And he he blamed the fans.
24:54
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna play you the soundbite of him uh talking about being booed.
24:59
SPEAKER_01: And uh you guys can uh let me know what you think about Deshaun's comments because I'm not gonna put words in his mouth.
25:05
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna let you hear it straight from the hose.
25:08
SPEAKER_01: Oh, sorry.
25:09
SPEAKER_01: Horse's mouth.
25:11
SPEAKER_01: I literally hate this man, and I hate to say it, but actually, I don't hate to say it.
25:16
SPEAKER_01: I love to say it.
25:17
SPEAKER_01: This is exactly why I like you can tell by the soundbite that this man is evil.
25:22
SPEAKER_01: Now, to give you a visual, for those who are watching me on video, on live on Twitch or TikTok or YouTube, he is like fidgeting with his fucking diamond earring while he is talking about this.
25:35
SPEAKER_01: So let's go ahead and uh listen to the sound.
25:40
SPEAKER_01: Listen to Deshaun Watson.
25:42
SPEAKER_00: It has nothing to do about the performance.
25:44
SPEAKER_00: It's uh it's a little bit personal than that.
25:46
SPEAKER_00: So I think that's a it's a disrespectful thing.
25:50
SPEAKER_00: Last time I played on this field, I told my Achilles and that same fan base, they cheered when I got hurt.
25:57
SPEAKER_00: So does that have to do with what does that have to do with anything about performance?
26:04
SPEAKER_00: When a person gets hurt, especially for your own city, and they cheer.
26:08
SPEAKER_00: That's a mental battle every day.
26:10
SPEAKER_00: You know?
26:10
SPEAKER_00: I feel like uh I feel like I get more love on road games than I do home games.
26:15
SPEAKER_00: So if it is my my spot and he does make me the name, maybe it's 17 away games then.
26:21
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
26:22
SPEAKER_00: Does any of that make you regret coming here?
26:24
SPEAKER_00: No, I don't regret anything in my life.
26:26
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so that was Deshaun Watson talking about the fact that he was booed by Cleveland Browns fans, and he was basically saying that they weren't booing him for his performance, they were booing him for personal reasons.
26:43
SPEAKER_01: So let's go through this timeline of Deshaun Watson's time in Cleveland, and let's let's see if you guys can guess why these fans are booing him, okay?
26:55
SPEAKER_01: Um, if it's business or personal.
26:57
SPEAKER_01: So in March of 2022, the Cleveland Browns acquired Deshaun Watson in a blockbuster trade from the Houston Texans, signing him to a fully guaranteed five-year$230 million contract amid ongoing civil lawsuits, alleging sexual misconduct.
27:16
SPEAKER_01: They made him the highest paid quarterback in NFL history, and the money was fully guaranteed.
27:25
SPEAKER_01: He didn't have to do an extra pinch of nothing, an extra push-up, nothing to earn that$230 million.
27:31
SPEAKER_01: In August of 2022, following an appeal by the NFL, Deshaun Watson was handed an 11-game suspension and a$5 million fine for the sexual misconduct situation, being accused of about 30 women of sexual assault.
27:45
SPEAKER_01: Um, yeah.
27:46
SPEAKER_01: In December of 2022, Deshaun Watson, mind you, from a Cleveland Browns fan's perspective, we we give this man$230 million, fully guaranteed, and he's already out for 11 games.
27:57
SPEAKER_01: So that's a season gone, right?
27:59
SPEAKER_01: December of 2022, he makes his regular season debut for Cleveland against his former team in Houston.
28:05
SPEAKER_01: Um, and then in November of 2023, his season was cut short after suffering from a shoulder injury that required surgery, limiting him to just six games played in 2023.
28:16
SPEAKER_01: That's a season gone.
28:17
SPEAKER_01: In late 2024, additional legal hurdles and injuries further disrupt his momentum on the field.
28:23
SPEAKER_01: He plays like ass.
28:24
SPEAKER_01: He plays like ass.
28:25
SPEAKER_01: And let let people who know a lot more about football than me, okay, explain to you guys what what is so wrong with Deshaun Watson's performance on the field.
28:39
SPEAKER_01: Okay, outside of the legal trouble, outside of all that, when he is playing, which is hardly ever, he's playing like Doodoo Cheeks Asswipe Asshole.
28:47
SPEAKER_01: Then in August of 2026, which is where we're at now, after he uh he tore his Achilles and was out again.
28:55
SPEAKER_01: Um, so the fans never get to see this man play be because of either legal trouble or you know, consequences of his own actions, whatever you want to call it, legal trouble, or because he's hurt.
29:07
SPEAKER_01: So the fans barely get to see him play, but when they do get to see him play, he plays horrible.
29:12
SPEAKER_01: Then he plays like shit in the preseason in front of the fans, and after an intense preseason quarterback battle with a fifth-round pick, shh, Shador Sanders, where it's according to analysts, not me, again, listen to people who know about more about football than me.
29:26
SPEAKER_01: It's you know, they're he they're on the brink.
29:28
SPEAKER_01: It's like a true battle between the two of them.
29:30
SPEAKER_01: Um, he gets booed by his own fans at home.
29:32
SPEAKER_01: He publicly addresses the boos by and negativity from the home crowd, by basically saying it's a daily mental battle playing in front of these motherfuckers.
29:40
SPEAKER_01: I mean, they obviously don't like me.
29:41
SPEAKER_01: They cheered when I got hurt, and they cheered because not only did you piss them off by getting accused of sexual misconduct by 30 women, you also played bad.
29:51
SPEAKER_01: So that's why they were happy, not just because you were hurt.
29:54
SPEAKER_01: And on top of that, you were the high you were the highest paid quarterback literally ever.
29:59
SPEAKER_01: And this is what they get.
30:00
SPEAKER_01: But, but, but, but now you're back! Superman is back! Yes, and he's he's playing like shit in front of his fans again.
30:11
SPEAKER_01: So they boo.
30:12
SPEAKER_01: Because they're like, what the fuck are y'all spending this all this fucking money on?
30:15
SPEAKER_01: This guy, they boo.
30:17
SPEAKER_01: And then you go into the press conference and you say out of your own fucking mouth, oh, it's not that they don't like me because I'm shitty at football, because I played like shit.
30:25
SPEAKER_01: They don't like me because I'm a shitty person.
30:28
SPEAKER_01: Because they think I'm a shitty person.
30:29
SPEAKER_01: That's why they don't like me, not because I played like shit.
30:32
SPEAKER_01: Deshaun, let me close up my notes for this one and put my clipboard down.
30:37
SPEAKER_01: Deshaun, I mean this respect respectfully because I have never been an NFL player or analyst.
30:46
SPEAKER_01: I am simply a fan, a passerby.
30:49
SPEAKER_01: But I want to direct this question to you respectfully.
30:52
SPEAKER_01: Have you ever watched an NFL game ever?
30:56
SPEAKER_01: Because you think your fans don't like you, not because you played shitty, but because you're you're they think you're a shitty person.
31:02
SPEAKER_01: Deshaun, I could go to any NFL game this entire 2026-2027 season and throw a rock.
31:10
SPEAKER_01: And there's probably, I'll be conservative here, an 80% chance that that rock is going to hit a shitty person.
31:17
SPEAKER_01: The the NFL, the NFL is riddled with abusers, cheaters, sh hell, Republicans.
31:27
SPEAKER_01: My point is the the NFL is riddled with shitty people.
31:30
SPEAKER_01: It's almost like it's a prerequisite to play in the NFL to be a shitty person.
31:34
SPEAKER_01: The NFL is so full of shitty people that when we see that an NFL player might be a good person, they are praised to hell and high water for being a decent stand-up guy.
31:46
SPEAKER_01: I mean, fuck thank God he's he's not shitty.
31:49
SPEAKER_01: Fuck! He respects women.
31:51
SPEAKER_01: Finally, one of them, damn, fuck shit, bam.
31:54
SPEAKER_01: And and when they play good, people don't bat an eyelash.
31:59
SPEAKER_01: People don't give a fuck.
32:02
SPEAKER_01: When these guys who are literal bad people, okay, play bad.
32:05
SPEAKER_01: I mean, let's take it to the NBA, Miles Bridges.
32:08
SPEAKER_01: Them Charlotte fans cheering for him when he's hitting game winners and making shots, and he, it don't get shittier than Miles Bridges.
32:15
SPEAKER_01: He is a shitty person.
32:18
SPEAKER_01: Shitty.
32:19
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
32:21
SPEAKER_01: Jalen Hurts is a great person, so it seems, who respects women.
32:25
SPEAKER_01: He seems like a stand-up fucking guy.
32:27
SPEAKER_01: He he won a Super Bowl, okay?
32:29
SPEAKER_01: And they still hate him.
32:32
SPEAKER_01: They still talk about him like a dog, talk about him crazy.
32:35
SPEAKER_01: So if you think being a good or a bad person has any merit in a football conversation or whether your fans are gonna like you or not, you are fucking brain dad and slow and drunk.
32:46
SPEAKER_01: NFL fans don't it's don't care if you're a good person or not.
32:50
SPEAKER_01: They care if you're producing.
32:51
SPEAKER_01: And unfortunately, you are neither.
32:55
SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately, you tick neither box.
32:59
SPEAKER_01: You unfortunately, you are you seem to be a shitty person.
33:03
SPEAKER_01: And I'm not just saying that because of the allegations, but because of the whole way you responded to that shit.
33:07
SPEAKER_01: You are a starting quarterback in the NFL.
33:10
SPEAKER_01: Okay, you need to attend the Dak Prescott School of Press Conferences.
33:14
SPEAKER_01: We want to hear like five words from quarterbacks, and it's like the same thing every single time.
33:18
SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't need to hear like you shitting on the fans that you have to play in front of.
33:24
SPEAKER_01: You are you gonna say you get more love in away games than you do in home games?
33:27
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's because they're not paying attention to you.
33:29
SPEAKER_01: That's because they don't give a fuck about you.
33:32
SPEAKER_01: It's not love.
33:33
SPEAKER_01: They're just simply ignoring you.
33:34
SPEAKER_01: Your fans actually have a vested interest in whether you perform or not.
33:38
SPEAKER_01: That's why they care.
33:39
SPEAKER_01: These other cities, they're not showing you love, they're just not showing you nothing.
33:42
SPEAKER_01: And it feels a lot better than the hate that your fan base is showing you because not only do you seem to be a shitty person and you're shitting on your fans and calling them out and blaming them, you're not playing well.
33:54
SPEAKER_01: So he was still named the starter.
33:56
SPEAKER_01: He was still named the shower, he was still named the starter because, like I said, being a good if being a good person had merit in the NFL, Deshaun, you wouldn't be starting.
34:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's personal.
34:09
SPEAKER_01: It's it's not about the fact that I played like shit, it's personal.
34:12
SPEAKER_01: They just don't like me for personal reasons.
34:13
SPEAKER_01: Then why are you still the starter?
34:15
SPEAKER_01: Because if being a good person mattered in the NFL, nigga, you wouldn't have made that$230 million in the fucking first place.
34:22
SPEAKER_01: And then don't think I didn't look, I didn't catch that little dig where he said, they said, so do you regret coming here?
34:29
SPEAKER_01: Because it sure sure as shit sounds like you fucking hate your fans.
34:32
SPEAKER_01: He goes say, I don't regret anything in my life.
34:36
SPEAKER_01: Tell that to those 30 women.
34:39
SPEAKER_01: Tell that to those 30 women.
34:41
SPEAKER_01: Deshaun Watson, Cleveland Browns fans don't hate you because you're a shitty person.
34:45
SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately, that doesn't matter in sports.
34:49
SPEAKER_01: It hasn't mattered for years.
34:51
SPEAKER_01: They hate you because you are playing like Dick.
34:53
SPEAKER_01: That's why they hate you.
34:55
SPEAKER_01: And every time you go out there and you play like Dick and they boo you, I an angel gains its wings.
34:59
SPEAKER_01: I I cheer.
35:00
SPEAKER_01: I enjoy it.
35:00
SPEAKER_01: I enjoy to watch it.
35:02
SPEAKER_01: And him coming back and saying his emotions got the best of him when he did that press conference shitting on the Cleveland Browns fans who already have been through the ringer, mind you.
35:10
SPEAKER_01: I can't even believe Cleveland Browns fans still fucking exist.
35:13
SPEAKER_01: Mind you, there were there were people carrying signs at Cleveland Browns games.
35:18
SPEAKER_01: Do y'all remember that?
35:19
SPEAKER_01: With disgusting language about the women who accused Deshaun Watson.
35:23
SPEAKER_01: All up and through there because they were so excited for him to come.
35:26
SPEAKER_01: Don't think I don't remember the the people selling t-shirts, Browns fans that say, bitch, give me a massage.
35:33
SPEAKER_01: Don't think I don't remember that.
35:34
SPEAKER_01: So now that you're playing bad and they've turned their back on you because that's like what football fans do, you want to say that it's personal?
35:41
SPEAKER_01: When a lot of them were supporting your fucking actions.
35:44
SPEAKER_01: You were representing to young boys all over the country that it doesn't matter what kind of person you are, you can still become a 230 millionaire, the highest paid quarterback in NFL history.
35:52
