Josh Allen Tops Mahomes? We’re Not Buying It. Plus Home Run Derby & MLB Salary Cap · The Regulars

• 0:00
  QB rankings, World Cup heroes, and so much,
• 0:03
  so much, so much more. It's Tuesday and you're with your
• 0:06
  friends. We're The Regulars. I'm Cody Decker. I'm Tanya Ray Fox.
• 0:10
  Cheers.
• 0:18
  A Tuesday night, and this time I have nothing
• 0:22
  to do with it. No, it's my fault. I did get
• 0:26
  a bacterial lung infection, so every
• 0:31
  time I laugh I'm gonna cough. Good, good, good. However, I have been on antibiotics
• 0:34
  for days now. Nice. Uh, I figured probably give it one more
• 0:38
  cycle before we came into the studio. Um, I've been— I
• 0:42
  actually like have not had this level of— like, I can't remember the last time
• 0:45
  I had a cough where I was like coughing up mucus.
• 0:49
  Is it possible you're the patient zero right now? Well, I hope not.
• 0:53
  Patient zero for what? I don't know. I just saw the movie Outbreak the other
• 0:55
  day just because it happened to be on like TNT, because of course it was.
• 0:58
  And, and it just made me immediately think of you. That's why we didn't do
• 1:01
  the show yesterday. I actually sent you a text going like, hey buddy, so I
• 1:05
  know you're not feeling well and yada yada yada. What do you say maybe you
• 1:08
  take the day off? And you're like, that's such a great idea. You're such a
• 1:11
  good friend. I know you— that is kind of how it went.
• 1:15
  Exactly. I mean, really, I, I will say if I am patient zero,
• 1:18
  good news is Azithromycin will work. So technically
• 1:23
  we're good. We're in the clear. But yeah, it's— it was really rough. Like,
• 1:27
  I don't think I realized how sick I was until I started feeling better.
• 1:30
  And then my best friend was like, oh, you are like a new person.
• 1:33
  Like, that, that stuff helped really quick. So we're back at it and we
• 1:38
  are going to be remote doing remote shows together. Yeah. And weeks,
• 1:42
  it's going to be great. It's actually going to be a little throwback for me
• 1:44
  because it gives me a chance to kind of do like literally hands-on TV producing
• 1:48
  that I haven't done in a little bit. Mocha. Fucking obsolete.
• 1:52
  Yeah, we, we're out for 2 weeks. We're giving him a summer break. Yeah,
• 1:56
  you fucking suck it. Yeah, I'm actually gonna— I'm gonna miss Mocha a
• 2:00
  lot. I'm gonna miss— I'm gonna miss the studio. Um, doing, uh, 2 weeks in
• 2:03
  Massachusetts. It's my little sister's birthday, it's my mom's
• 2:07
  birthday, it's, you know, there's just got stuff going down. I might be doing a,
• 2:11
  um, an event with more— the Governor Maura Healey at Gillette
• 2:15
  during Patriots training camp. Very cool. So waiting to hear from the,
• 2:19
  um, the dude who does her, uh her events. But yeah, there's just—
• 2:23
  and then I would like to be hanging around by the pool with the dog.
• 2:26
  I don't blame you. I don't blame you. You know, I'm glad you're feeling better.
• 2:29
  I'm glad you're getting ready for a vacation. But yeah, we will be doing the
• 2:31
  regulars during those, uh, 2 weeks on remote. So it's just gonna look a little
• 2:35
  different, but it's nothing we actually haven't kind of done before. I did, I did
• 2:39
  what, 3 months of Beetle and Decker exactly this way? Yeah. So I'm actually—
• 2:43
  it's gonna be like flexing the old muscles again. I brought a better ring light
• 2:46
  this time. I brought, I brought a mic. I have both my little mic,
• 2:49
  which you made fun of, but I like that mic. And I brought another mic.
• 2:51
  You know, I have traveled mics. I will loan you a travel mic. No,
• 2:55
  I have a mic that I'm bringing, an actual mic. Okay. Yeah. Is it a
• 2:59
  good mic? Yeah. What does it look like? A microphone. It looks like an actual
• 3:02
  microphone. Looks like an actual mic? Yeah, I used to podcast with it. Okay.
• 3:05
  Yeah. You know, I have other mics if you want to look like cooler.
• 3:07
  I think more professional. I think this is perfect. It's a microphone. I even have
• 3:10
  an extra RE20 that you can go and an adapter with.
• 3:14
  Uh, nothing's gonna look that professional from my mom's, um,
• 3:17
  witch den. So that's gonna look very professional. Well, yeah, I mean, but like know,
• 3:22
  how far are you from Salem? Ah, about an hour and change.
• 3:26
  Yeah. Do you guys like feel it when you drive by? I— you don't
• 3:30
  drive by it. It's up north of— like, I never am up there. It's like
• 3:33
  up north of— yeah, yeah, you have to, you have to go out of your
• 3:36
  way to go to Salem. I know you guys. Yeah, you're not fooling anybody.
• 3:39
  Anyways, let's go ahead and get to the football of all, because,
• 3:42
  uh, Tanya, headline number 1,
• 3:46
  um QB ranking came out from, um,
• 3:50
  oh Jesus, hold on, give me one sec. This makes me so fucking uncomfortable when
• 3:54
  I have to deal with bullshit.
• 3:58
  QB ranking just came out from like executives.
• 4:01
  Oh my God. And, um, what can I say? They're bullshit.
• 4:05
  There's some bullshit on here. I'm really glad you stretched. I'm stretched.
• 4:08
  I appreciate that. Fucking go tell the people what the fuck is going on.
• 4:12
  Okay, uh, we're not happy. So this is not just— this was obviously
• 4:17
  published by ESPN and it has been pushed out by ESPN, but it
• 4:21
  is actually as ranked by coaches, executives, and scouts. So this is
• 4:24
  the NFL establishment, uh, from whom,
• 4:28
  uh, we don't have exactly— no names— that information.
• 4:31
  What teams? It doesn't seem like they're the best-run teams by what
• 4:35
  we're seeing here, but, um, this is their annual
• 4:38
  ranking of the top 10 NFL quarterbacks. Uh,
• 4:41
  Mocha, go ahead and throw that up so Cody and I can get worked
• 4:46
  up As we go here now. Beautiful. Josh Allen.
• 4:50
  Number 1, baby. Number 1 quarterback. Number 1,
• 4:53
  baby. We love ourselves some Josh Allen.
• 4:57
  And we are going to— we're going to have a whole conversation about this top
• 5:01
  5 in general. Number 1, baby. Rounding out
• 5:05
  the back half of this top 10 is Dak Prescott.
• 5:09
  Justin Herbert, who's never won a playoff game. Ooh,
• 5:12
  he's the best thrower of the old pigskin, they say.
• 5:16
  2 white guys until the calendar turns to January,
• 5:20
  of course. But before that, he's one of the best throwers of the old pigskin.
• 5:24
  I don't know what Caleb Williams did to land himself behind Drake
• 5:28
  Maye, but you know what? Well, you know, I have half
• 5:32
  of an idea. Do you? Half of one. Yeah.
• 5:35
  So there you go. How did Lamar Jackson be 5? How did that
• 5:39
  happen? So you know who you're talking to. All right, never mind. I know
• 5:43
  exactly how it happened. You know who you're talking to right now? Lamar Jackson.
• 5:48
  So this is— let's just set aside the
• 5:51
  Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes of it all. Let's just set it aside real quick.
• 5:55
  Let's do that. We'll start at 3. Why not? Matthew Stafford
• 5:59
  just won an MVP. Sure did. A historic
• 6:03
  fucking year for Matthew Stafford. Great. Yeah. Not a historic
• 6:07
  MVP. A historic year for him. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty like average
• 6:11
  year by MVP standards. It wasn't like it was a very easy— but for him
• 6:14
  it was a phenomenal, phenomenal year. And great because he's one of the— he he's
• 6:18
  one of the oldest quarterbacks in the league. I mean, I think if, if Aaron
• 6:21
  Rodgers weren't playing, he'd be the oldest, would he not? I believe so. So,
• 6:23
  um, you know, at his age, wins his
• 6:27
  first MVP. He's been a good, really great quarterback for a long time. Yes.
• 6:31
  3— the 3rd best quarterback in the NFL is crazy.
• 6:35
  There— and here's the thing, is like Lamar Jackson,
• 6:39
  2 spots below him, has more MVPs. Sure does. Is much
• 6:43
  younger. It is. Has already one
• 6:48
  of the greatest quarter passer ratings we've ever seen from an NFL quarterback, is the
• 6:52
  best runner we've ever seen from an NFL quarterback. Yeah, he's really good.
• 6:55
  So I don't know why. I don't know where that all comes from.
• 7:00
  Okay. Recency bias with the old man. You want to give him his due?
• 7:05
  Fine. Okay. I'm going to ask you a question. Sure. I'm going
• 7:09
  to listen. What the fuck is Joe Burrow? Doing at number 4
• 7:13
  ahead of Lamar Jackson? No fucking idea.
• 7:17
  Ahead of Lamar Jackson? Truly. Here's my honest answer to you. No fucking
• 7:21
  idea. No clue. No clue how that could possibly
• 7:24
  be a thing. I don't know what numbers you're conjuring up. I don't know how
• 7:28
  you can ever manipulate any of these numbers. If you want to sit here
• 7:31
  and tell me with a straight face that Lamar Jackson
• 7:35
  is injury-prone because he sometimes gets hurt, which is true, he does sometimes get hurt.
• 7:40
  You're with a straight face going to say that to me and put Joe
• 7:43
  fucking Burrow, who I haven't seen since he was in the Super
• 7:47
  Bowl, fucking what, 4 years ago? Yeah. Hasn't been healthy. Let's be
• 7:51
  real clear. Is number 3 on this list.
• 7:55
  That, ladies and gentlemen, is batshit to me. Yes,
• 7:59
  that is that. That's the part that's really pissing me off
• 8:03
  because like, is Joe Burrow an excellent quarterback? Absolutely. Yes.
• 8:06
  Is there an argument if he's behind Lamar Jackson to be top 5?
• 8:10
  Sure. But you can't— you absolutely cannot
• 8:15
  put him ahead of Lamar Jackson in any metric,
• 8:18
  in any single way. And here's the thing is, you know, a lot of people—
• 8:21
  one of the guys that I follow on Threads who I really respect has
• 8:27
  talked about how he thinks, you know, Joe Burrow is the best, like,
• 8:31
  pocket passer quarterback, like just the actual—
• 8:34
  his ability to throw the ball, his, his downfield
• 8:39
  vision, all that stuff. Okay. I could not agree more. Part of my issue
• 8:43
  with Joe Burrow is that the reason that
• 8:47
  he gets hurt so much and why that offensive line is constantly set up to
• 8:49
  fail is because he takes 97% of his fucking snaps out of shotgun.
• 8:53
  And do you know what happens to the offensive line when, when your quarterback
• 8:57
  is basically 100% of the time taking, taking the ball in shotgun.
• 9:02
  Everybody knows on the defense that the ball's going into the hand of
• 9:05
  the quarterback. When you don't have play action and you're not doing run options and
• 9:08
  you're always, always snapping it to the fucking quarterback, they can rush
• 9:12
  the fucking quarterback. They know where the ball is going and it's so much easier.
• 9:15
  It makes it very difficult on the offensive line. And that's
• 9:19
  not just a Zach Taylor call. That's not just an offense call. That is a
• 9:22
  call that is being made specifically by Joe Burrow because he prefers
• 9:26
  to operate in that system. And Zach Taylor lets him.
• 9:29
  And so I don't feel bad for him with his offensive line. He doesn't set
• 9:33
  them up for success. And then he also sets himself up to get hurt all
• 9:36
  the time because the ball's constantly in his fucking hands. I'm tired of it.
• 9:39
  Thank you for letting me get that off my chest. You're welcome. I think it
• 9:42
  was very well-worded, and I think we all feel better, and now we are better
• 9:45
  as people. And also, I don't even want
• 9:48
  to be that hard on, on, uh, Joe Burrow right now because right
• 9:52
  below Right below him is perhaps one of
• 9:55
  the most overrated quarterbacks we've ever fucking talked about in the history of Dak.
• 10:00
  No. Who? Fucking Justin Herbert. Oh,
• 10:03
  Justin Herbert at number 7. Listen, most beautiful thrower of
• 10:08
  the football, they say. Is he? I said they say. I am not
• 10:11
  they. No, I am someone who has to listen to they every
• 10:16
  fucking year. And they seem to be
• 10:20
  fooled every year about what happens in January with Justin
• 10:23
  Herbert. They're not fooled. And that's the thing. Is like, this, this at this point
• 10:26
  is— you cannot convince me that this is a joke. You cannot convince me it's
• 10:30
  not white supremacist propaganda. No, this is a long-form comedy
• 10:33
  bit. I'm— this is the only thing I can come up with. Like, this is
• 10:37
  seriously like, you know that Seinfeld episode? Yeah, you know the episode
• 10:41
  of the hello episode?
• 10:44
  There's an episode where Jerry meets a girl and it's all simply about hello.
• 10:48
  He was talking about her belly button and it said— it came out and it
• 10:51
  was like saying Hello! And it's all about this stupid joke
• 10:55
  that is not funny. Okay. And as the show keeps going on,
• 10:58
  they start saying it to each other over and over again when they walk into
• 11:01
  a room. Hello! Hello! And the joke is
• 11:05
  not funny. Okay. Jerry's girlfriend finds out and she says, you gotta stop doing
• 11:09
  this. She's like, it's hilarious. She's like, it is not funny. Yeah. And it goes—
• 11:12
  and the whole thing is about whether or not he's gonna go to the girl
• 11:15
  or keep the joke. And he runs to her door slow motion
• 11:19
  like it's this romantic thing of the man opening the door. She goes,
• 11:21
  Jerry, hello! And the place
• 11:25
  erupts with laughter. It is a long-form joke is what
• 11:29
  Justin Herbert is. I'm waiting for it to be funny. I think that that's actually
• 11:34
  an apropos comparison. That's the only thing I'm waiting for,
• 11:37
  because there— it— there's no explanation for
• 11:40
  this at this point. To put— like, I need you to understand,
• 11:44
  they put him— you— we talked about this in pre-show— they put Justin
• 11:48
  Herbert above Sam Darnold, who's had 2 14-win
• 11:53
  seasons in a row, in a row, just won the Super Bowl.
• 11:56
  He was an MVP contender all year. Yes, he was.
• 12:00
  They put him above Jalen Hurts, who's played in 2 Super Bowls,
• 12:04
  has a Super Bowl MVP.
• 12:08
  Jalen Hurts wasn't even in the top 10. I would like you— I
• 12:13
  would like you to just hear me out, okay? This man has played
• 12:17
  in 3 playoff games. This is always the knock, always the knock on Lamar Jackson.
• 12:20
  But what about the playoffs? First of all, Lamar Jackson's played in far more playoff
• 12:24
  games than Justin Herbert's ever fucking sniffed. Secondly,
• 12:26
  let me just— 2 touchdowns,
• 12:31
  4 picks. Yeah, he was sacked 6
• 12:36
  times in that game against the Patriots alone.
• 12:41
  In this offseason— in this postseason, 6 times.
• 12:45
  This dude is awful in the playoffs. It's not even
• 12:49
  like— it's not even like— like, you know when we watch, uh, like sometimes when
• 12:53
  you watch Lamar and Josh Allen lose in the playoffs and you're like, oh man,
• 12:55
  it wasn't their fault, right? Like, you're like, they did everything they could. Lamar had
• 12:59
  a great, uh, second half to hit. Like, he was incredible in the second half
• 13:02
  of his playoff game against the Steelers, and they, they could have won that game.
• 13:04
  There was a kick they could have won it on, whatever, right? That's not
• 13:08
  the case with Justin Herbert. Like, we are— we're lying to ourselves now. Have we—
• 13:12
  we have seen big number dudes, dudes who can throw
• 13:16
  the ball for a lot of touchdowns and a lot of yards in the regular
• 13:18
  season so many times. I don't know how many times we have to do this
• 13:21
  before you realize he doesn't fucking have it. And I like to
• 13:25
  go— but now we got to go back. We got to go back to 1
• 13:27
  and 2 real quick. Josh Allen,
• 13:31
  tell me, give me your best explanation.
• 13:35
  After this season. Yeah. How you put Josh
• 13:39
  Allen over Patrick Mahomes?
• 13:44
  Health.
• 13:48
  That's it. That's all I got. That's it. I'm sorry. That's all I got.
• 13:51
  One was healthy last year. One was not. That's it. I have nothing
• 13:55
  else. The healthiest top 5 quarterback and we're like, well,
• 13:58
  he's the guy. It doesn't matter that I— do you
• 14:02
  understand what they would— they would kick— they would— they would deport
• 14:06
  Jalen Hurts if he turned the ball over 4 times and
• 14:09
  lost the Eagles a game. They would deport him out of the country.
• 14:13
  Like, are you fucking kidding me? Are you kidding me?
• 14:17
  With every single performance we've ever seen from Patrick Mahomes
• 14:21
  across how many playoff games— the man has been in 5 Super Bowls,
• 14:24
  he's won 3 rings— we have never seen him Turned the
• 14:28
  ball over 4 times in a fucking playoff game. And because
• 14:31
  he had an— like, he was unhealthy and there were some struggles last year,
• 14:34
  we've knocked him down behind fucking can't-make-it-to-a-Super-Bowl
• 14:38
  McGee. He couldn't even make it to the fucking AFC Championship Game.
• 14:42
  You couldn't beat the Broncos. That offense was— that Broncos
• 14:46
  offense was fucking terrible. Couldn't beat them to
• 14:50
  make the AFC Championship Game. Oh my God,
• 14:54
  I feel like I'm losing my mind. I feel like I am going
• 14:58
  crazy. And here's the thing, it is— it— there is no explanation
• 15:01
  for this anymore that isn't just outright—
• 15:06
  it's just outright racism. No, let's slow down. Give me a second. Let me look
• 15:10
  at this list again. That's a white guy. It's a white guy.
• 15:14
  3 white guys. 4 white guys. 5 white guys.
• 15:18
  6 white guys. Yeah, that's 6 completely full-on
• 15:22
  white guys. Like, how are you gonna put Jared? And, and then they leave off
• 15:26
  your— they leave off your guy. If you're gonna pin us with all these white
• 15:29
  dudes, you're not even gonna give us Sam Darnold? I'm kind of wild. That's kind
• 15:32
  of wild to me. Like, like, you could have definitely taken Jared Goff out of
• 15:35
  here. You could take Drake Maye out of here. I am a Patriots fan.
• 15:38
  There's no world where you came out of last season
• 15:42
  and think Drake Maye is better than Caleb Williams.
• 15:45
  Oh, come on. That's not— how did— that's insane.
• 15:49
  Fine, put Drake May 10, but if you're gonna do that, you better put him
• 15:52
  behind Caleb Williams, because what are you fucking talking about? Yeah, Caleb Williams is a
• 15:56
  way different level. This is not even a question. Like, listen, this list is fucking
• 15:59
  insane. I, I truly do not get it. I, I mean, I know Drake May
• 16:03
  was in contention for the MVP, but that was based entirely on the
• 16:07
  regular season and a very easy schedule. Listen,
• 16:10
  as this list goes, obviously the thing that's driving me crazy is Josh Allen.
• 16:13
  It's not that I even dislike Josh Allen. I like Josh Allen a lot.
• 16:15
  But the fact that he's number 1 is so baffling to me because simply
• 16:20
  this— I was willing to do this with you guys 2 years ago, but at
• 16:23
  this point we saw that last playoff game. Yeah.
• 16:26
  How many times are we going to constantly say it's not his fault? He— that
• 16:30
  was his fault. It was his fault. And it's— and it's so
• 16:34
  interesting to me that he's the only one who doesn't get any blame for
• 16:38
  anything. Like, you're going to blame Patrick Mahomes for being hurt more than you're going
• 16:41
  to blame Josh Allen for playing like shit. That seems crazy. What should have happened
• 16:45
  is in order to, to knock Patrick Mahomes off of number 1, one of those
• 16:48
  other dudes had to do something crazy. Matthew Stafford can't take over. He can't
• 16:52
  overtake him. He's too old and his career is too, like,
• 16:55
  you know, done and finished, like in our— in the book, right? So like
• 16:59
  Matthew Stafford is never going to leapfrog him. For any of those dudes to leapfrog
• 17:02
  Patrick Mahomes, it should have taken an absolutely fucking insane postseason performance,
• 17:06
  like a real epic level performance. We did not get that from Josh Allen.
• 17:11
  Nope. And I wouldn't have even— and you know, I love Lamar Jackson. I wouldn't
• 17:14
  have— I would have Like, if I were making this, this list, I wouldn't
• 17:18
  have leapfrogged Lamar Jackson over Mahomes. So,
• 17:21
  like, I don't know. I've— I'm at a loss for words.
• 17:24
  But if this— Cody, I made a video. This is going to really
• 17:29
  kill you. I made a video before we went on air today.
• 17:33
  They did a segment today on ESPN where they said,
• 17:37
  whose job is more on the line? This was the ESPN
• 17:41
  First Take segment. Whose job is more on the line? I know it's going to
• 17:44
  be a winner. Jalen Hurts or Lamar Jackson?
• 17:50
  This is— we are not— the season hasn't started.
• 17:55
  They're not asking if Justin Herbert's job is on the line. Wow.
• 17:58
  They're not asking if Jared Goff's job is on the line.
• 18:01
  No. A guy with a Super Bowl MVP and another guy with
• 18:05
  2, should be 3 MVPs. That's who they're arguing.
• 18:08
  Whose job is more on the line? What? Didn't you just
• 18:12
  tell me that Lamar Jackson's the 5th best quarterback in the NFL? What do you
• 18:15
  mean his job's on the line if he's the 5th best quarterback in the NFL?
• 18:17
  Does that mean the only people whose jobs are safe are Josh
• 18:21
  Allen and Patrick Mahomes? Honest question. We're talking about anymore.
• 18:25
  Forget everything else. Just honest question. Who are they replacing him with?
• 18:28
  Like, who's the better guy? Like, if his job's on the line,
• 18:31
  who's the guy behind him that is apparently going to, to take his
• 18:35
  place? Who's, who's Wally Pipping? Our good friend Lamar Jackson?
• 18:39
  Just, just sit right here. You just answer that question and I'll fucking
• 18:42
  not move until fucking someone answers it. How about that? Yeah, sound good?
• 18:46
  That's a very simple question that should be required. One answer,
• 18:50
  just one name. Give me a name. Well, I mean, Cody, they could
• 18:54
  get a younger, cheaper guy who's not gonna be such a problem
• 18:58
  in the locker room because, you know, he's such a problem.
• 19:02
  Him and Jalen Hurts. These 2 guys who we've never heard a single
• 19:05
  bad thing about— these guys are problems. Hey, hey, hey, hey,
• 19:09
  I've heard rumblings. I heard rumblings. They're anonymous rumblings
• 19:12
  that will never be named. Yeah, it's just a num— just
• 19:16
  anonymous. Yep, anonymous. Yeah,
• 19:20
  so anyways, this is gonna be a long fucking
• 19:24
  season, Cody. It's already a long fucking season. We haven't even gotten to
• 19:28
  the news of the season yet and we're already here. Yeah. Whose job is more
• 19:31
  on the line? Whose job is more on the line? Jalen Hurts and Lamar
• 19:36
  Jackson. I am a Raider fan. Happily would have taken either of them
• 19:40
  at any given moment. I would just like it on record, their MVPs and
• 19:44
  Super Bowl MVPs are not like in the distant past. They were both— These
• 19:48
  have all happened in the last 5 years. In the last 2 years. Apologies.
• 19:51
  In the last 2 years. Like, sorry, that felt like a— it feels like a
• 19:55
  century ago. This sports landscape and world that we're fucking in is
• 19:59
  happening almost in rapid speed and in quicksand at
• 20:02
  the same time. It's fucking wild. Time is a flat circle. 2024 was when they
• 20:06
  both won. Yeah, 2024. Jesus Christ. It's only 2026.
• 20:10
  Jesus. Yeah. Within the last 2 years. Good for you guys. You guys are fucking
• 20:12
  doing great. I just don't understand time anymore. Let's go to headline number 2.
• 20:17
  Speaking of time, this World Cup phenomenal match today.
• 20:21
  Surprising. I'm not going to lie to you. It wasn't that it was surprising,
• 20:24
  the outcome. I could have flipped a coin and kind of gone either way,
• 20:27
  but I firmly believed that France was going to win this. To this point,
• 20:30
  France has truly looked like the juggernaut final boss that no one's going
• 20:35
  to touch. And Mbappé, every single time he's been out there, has looked
• 20:38
  like the single best soccer player currently living on this planet. And today,
• 20:42
  neither of those things looked like the case. Mbappé,
• 20:45
  Dembélé, like they, they could not get any of their elite scorers going.
• 20:49
  This was one of those games where it was like if you had told me
• 20:54
  it was going to come down to extra time or like whatever else.
• 20:57
  Like, I thought it was going to be a really close game with scoring on
• 21:00
  both sides, at least a couple goals on both sides.
• 21:04
  Nope, it ended kind of with a thud. Like,
• 21:07
  it was, it was really a bummer. And to be honest,
• 21:11
  I do think Spain just has France's number.
• 21:14
  Like, Spain beats France more— has beat France more than any other country in the
• 21:18
  Euros, beat them wherever the last year's equivalent was. I'm sorry, I don't know the
• 21:21
  name of, but But yeah, I saw the— I saw the scores in the recent
• 21:24
  history. Yeah, you're not wrong. Flat out have their number. And they do. And they
• 21:27
  have that— I think that that's like, it's just one of those things that stylistically,
• 21:31
  like, both these teams play stylistically pretty similar over the course of the years.
• 21:34
  Like, things ebb and flow once the style of the
• 21:38
  game changes with eras, of course. But like, Spain is an excellent— they're— they
• 21:43
  can shut down defensively. They're excellent at passing the ball. Um,
• 21:46
  and it's just like kind of— I don't know, I— it's
• 21:50
  disappointing because I think for like the
• 21:54
  World Cup fans, best case scenario is,
• 21:58
  because of the star power of France, best case scenario is France
• 22:02
  against either England or Argentina because England and Argentina also have the
• 22:06
  star power. And it's like, that's, that's the big— for whatever reason, like,
• 22:10
  Lamine Yamal is not, not this— didn't become the star I thought he was going
• 22:13
  to become at the World Cup. And I, I don't think it's anything on him.
• 22:16
  He is an absolute superstar and he's going to continue to be a superstar.
• 22:19
  He's super lovable. His little brother is so cute. Have you seen him? I have
• 22:23
  a little bit. Yeah, yeah, super cute. Um, but like, I thought he was gonna
• 22:27
  kind of pop off at this, um, World Cup, and, and there's
• 22:31
  just been other players who've become bigger stars, and that's fine. Uh,
• 22:34
  so I'm a little bit bummed about that. Overall,
• 22:38
  I think the— you know, there's 3 remaining teams now
• 22:42
  because we have yet to watch Argentina versus England tomorrow noon.
• 22:45
  I'm wondering, I'm wondering Is tomorrow going to be
• 22:49
  the collapse of England that everybody's been telling me is inevitable,
• 22:53
  or is it Vargentina strikes again?
• 22:57
  That's— it's one of these two things. I think it's— I think, I think
• 23:00
  Argentina is going to the final because for multiple reasons. Vargentina.
• 23:04
  Vargentina is the main reason. Yeah. But the second reason
• 23:08
  is England collapse. I don't know, man. I, you know,
• 23:11
  I have watched a lot of England I want Argentina to lose so
• 23:15
  bad. And you know what's really funny is Argentina has
• 23:19
  become such— they are so anti-Black
• 23:23
  and so racist that they have the world rooting for like the 3
• 23:26
  biggest colonizing countries on the planet. I can't believe it. We're going England,
• 23:30
  Spain, France. We're like, fuck it, like do it, anybody but Argentina.
• 23:33
  Do it for the queen. Like, you guys are that bad. Like, you've rubbed people
• 23:37
  the wrong way. And it doesn't help, obviously, that like the Messi of it all,
• 23:39
  the Argentina with the VAR and like just the way they've been officiated. People are
• 23:43
  so sick of it. Um, I still can't believe that.
• 23:47
  Plus Jude Bellingham, people have like kind of fallen in love with Jude. He's won
• 23:50
  people over in a way that like nobody else on Argentina has, right? Like,
• 23:53
  I mean, how can you root against Jude? Everybody loves Jude. He's awesome. They sing
• 23:56
  Hey Jude when he— every single time. And let's be real clear, I, I want
• 24:00
  England to win. And honestly, I'll even go a step further. I'd be okay,
• 24:03
  very happy if England won the actual World Cup. Yeah. And here's why. And I've
• 24:06
  given you that. I've told you this already one time, but I really want to
• 24:09
  make this abundantly clear. Okay,
• 24:12
  Liam Gallagher's Twitter— yeah, Liam Gallagher will be the
• 24:16
  funniest fucking thing. We could do a whole segment on it that will ever happen.
• 24:20
  Yeah, he will fucking take all the credit. He will say it's because Oasis got
• 24:24
  back together, it's the power of Wonderwall. And honestly,
• 24:27
  I mean, I'm just telling the theme of what his tweets will be. I can
• 24:31
  only imagine what's actually going to come out of his mouth. Yeah, I cannot fucking
• 24:35
  wait for it. I need it to happen. Also, every time Wonderwall
• 24:39
  is sung by all of these England fans, Fucking chills. Fucking chills.
• 24:42
  It is like literally a great— it's like, it's like closing time at
• 24:46
  a bar. It's like, it's, it's like it's time to go home.
• 24:50
  We are the actual champ. This is better than We Are the Champions. It's like,
• 24:53
  fucking love this. Like Sweet Caroline at a Red Sox game. Fucking fuck you.
• 24:57
  And no, never ever compare something to that
• 25:01
  again. You're a bad friend. I fucking hate Neil Diamond. Fucking hate
• 25:05
  Neil Diamond.
• 25:08
  Someone that we, that we did fall in love with at this— everybody,
• 25:11
  the world fell in love with at this, um, tournament was
• 25:15
  Erling Haaland. Yeah, he's awesome. And we— he was,
• 25:19
  he was exited unceremoniously. We missed— we, we didn't, we didn't
• 25:23
  love to see it. Uh, really bad, really bad.
• 25:26
  That whole game was bizarre, by the way. Haaland like not, not being passed
• 25:30
  to in those scoring moments and then them taking him off the game. It was
• 25:33
  bizarre. But more importantly, he left with a
• 25:36
  bang. Mocha, show us, um, Erling Haaland
• 25:40
  and what he left with, uh, as he, as he arrived
• 25:43
  back home. This is his souvenir that he brought home,
• 25:47
  a $750 souvenir
• 25:50
  from Wild Bill's Western Store in Dallas.
• 25:54
  Yeah, that is a taxidermy raccoon holding
• 25:57
  a whiskey bottle. You know, as you do. And, uh, of course,
• 26:01
  not only did he like bring this home— and how do they get through customs?
• 26:05
  Well, listen, I think, I think
• 26:09
  they might not be as strict with Erling Haaland. Yeah, they'll let him do anything,
• 26:12
  I guess. He asked his fans on Instagram to choose a
• 26:15
  name for the raccoon. Yeah, via poll with, uh, options such as Cowboy,
• 26:20
  Ranger, Tex, and Row.
• 26:24
  R-O-W, you know. No, I got it. I got it.
• 26:27
  He also offered a farewell to the United States after Norrie's
• 26:31
  historic adventure came to an end. It's been quite a row.
• 26:34
  Thank you for making it so special. Goodbye, U.S. It's been
• 26:38
  emotional. So he left with his— that's
• 26:42
  sort of like kind of the perfect example of what it's like to be in
• 26:45
  the United States, to just come home with a feral raccoon holding a whiskey bottle.
• 26:47
  Yeah, it makes a lot of sense. Like, about right. It sounds like he did
• 26:50
  it right. That's the United States experience. I think it's fantastic. And the best
• 26:54
  version. Honest question about Erling Haaland. When is he in the MLS? You know,
• 26:59
  he will be at some point. Well, how many years? Not going to be a
• 27:02
  while. It's going to be a while, right? Yeah. But how long? I would say
• 27:05
  probably we've got— how old is he now? He's 26,
• 27:08
  27, 26, 27. So if he's, if he's 27,
• 27:12
  then it'll be probably another 9 years. Damn it.
• 27:16
  Yeah. Can we get like one of those guys in their prime once? No.
• 27:19
  Come on, man. Doesn't, doesn't like another team want to give up their ownership?
• 27:22
  Like now? So he's 25.
• 27:26
  Oh, so we've got like a decade. Yeah, it's a full 10 years before he's
• 27:29
  playing and fucking— wait, he got his tax and everything? Is there a team in
• 27:32
  Dallas? Uh, yeah. Okay, there you go. Yeah, he'll probably, he'll probably get on the,
• 27:36
  the Texas guy. He'll be the Texas, uh, David Beckham. I'm trying to
• 27:40
  remember how old he was when he came over. So when he— I felt like
• 27:43
  he was like 38. So he came to the Galaxy in 2007.
• 27:48
  Yeah, he was younger than I— so he was 32.
• 27:54
  Really? He was that young? Because he was born— he was born in '75.
• 27:58
  They paid him a lot for the time especially. And he
• 28:02
  also had— he'd also like been
• 28:06
  up for— since he was like a teenager. So like a lot
• 28:10
  of these guys have. So by the time they're in their early 30s— so I
• 28:13
  don't know that, but that was pretty— that was pretty like— he was like the
• 28:16
  biggest— he was closest to his prime of anyone we got. It was
• 28:20
  pretty wild though when he came here. There was, there was a, there was a
• 28:23
  hell of a boom there for a second there. And then Messi, there was a
• 28:26
  hell of a little boom there for a second. Like, like, when are these guys
• 28:30
  gonna open up the pocketbook just a little bit and really kind of make it
• 28:32
  a real thing? I mean, they have to probably give up a shit ton,
• 28:35
  but like, is it possible? Like, honestly, international soccer, how everything
• 28:40
  is done is so fucking different than how we do things here with contracts and
• 28:43
  everything. I don't, I don't actually understand. Is it even possible? To like acquire some
• 28:47
  of these guys? Yeah, it's possible. I think that the— yeah, the bigger
• 28:51
  issue is that like these teams are not going to pay
• 28:54
  the like the types of interleague
• 28:58
  transfer fees and stuff that would be required to do it. Like some
• 29:02
  of these, like a lot of times teams are paying a
• 29:06
  transfer fee, $100, $200 million just to acquire the rights
• 29:09
  to sign a player. Jesus Christ. Right. No wonder these billionaire owners don't want to
• 29:14
  be fucking— no wonder they want this all salary capped over here, which is weird
• 29:18
  though. It's not like they don't make it. They probably make more money than all
• 29:20
  of our leagues, right? Well, they know the NFL makes
• 29:24
  the most money out of any league. Goddamn, I was hoping it's not even close.
• 29:26
  Yeah, but I just figured soccer as a whole,
• 29:30
  one would think. No, it's— yeah, like if you look at the, at the
• 29:34
  most profitable like teams in the world
• 29:37
  and who's worth the most, all these teams, It'll be— it's all NFL teams.
• 29:41
  And then like at the top there's like, like Manchester United or like Barcelona.
• 29:47
  Lakers did just sell for $10 billion. Yeah, the Lakers, the Yankees. And then
• 29:51
  it's just like a bunch— it's like 2 soccer teams, 2 or 3 soccer teams,
• 29:54
  2 or 3, you know, it'll be like the Lakers,
• 29:57
  the Yankees, whatever. And then it's just all NFL teams. By the way, I said
• 30:01
  something on the air today that I'm going to say so much the closer we
• 30:03
  get to the CBA about basically how they want a salary
• 30:07
  cap and all that. Listen, if all the owners are doing so, so poorly and
• 30:10
  if you're telling me right now that the Dodgers— you're skipping into our headline
• 30:13
  3. But I have a very specific quote that I really, really happy about.
• 30:17
  And it's this: the Dodgers are making so much money.
• 30:20
  Like, truly, like, I don't know how much they're making. Yeah, but it's clearly
• 30:24
  they're making so much money that they fucking bought
• 30:28
  the Lakers. Has that somehow just escaped
• 30:31
  everyone's purview in this last year? Yes.
• 30:35
  Somehow no one's noticed. Apparently all these teams are losing so
• 30:39
  much money, but the Dodgers bought the Lakers for $10 billion.
• 30:45
  $10 billion.
• 30:49
  Just asking. So the world's most valuable sports
• 30:53
  teams in this past cycle, uh,
• 30:57
  were the Cowboys at 13—
• 31:00
  valued at $13.08 billion. Than the,
• 31:05
  the Warriors, the Rams, the Knicks, the Lakers, the Giants,
• 31:10
  the Patriots, the 49ers, the Eagles, the Bears, the Yankees, the Dolphins,
• 31:14
  the Clippers, the Commanders. I'm trying to see where an
• 31:17
  international team comes in. Wow. Real Madrid comes in after
• 31:22
  the Dodgers. I would assume that would have been higher, but interesting. Real Madrid is
• 31:25
  worth less than the Jets. Fascinating. Never would have guessed that.
• 31:29
  Never in a million years would have guessed that. Yeah.
• 31:32
  Manchester United is worth exactly the same as the Buccaneers.
• 31:36
  So just to give you an example of like, like you would think,
• 31:39
  like Real Madrid, that's one of the best soccer teams in the
• 31:43
  world. I am now no longer impressed with Wrexham. Sounds like, sounds like
• 31:47
  they bought it for $35 and really, really did something special. Well,
• 31:51
  they're not billionaires. They are not. They are not billionaires. So. All right.
• 31:55
  Well, let's talk about billionaires. Why not? They're my favorite thing.
• 31:59
  This is actually very specifically about kind of what Rob
• 32:02
  Manfred is trying to sell. Oh boy. And because he had some fucking quotes,
• 32:06
  he is working hard. He's in overtime the last 24 hours. And I just— I
• 32:09
  was reading these quotes and I'm like, yeesh. And I know this is coming off
• 32:12
  of, you know, All-Star. You know, we're doing All-Star. We had
• 32:16
  the Home Run Derby last night. We'll be talking— ruin it all.
• 32:19
  So Commissioner Rob Manfred. Yes. And MLBPA
• 32:23
  Interim Executive Director Bruce Meyer each heartily agreed Tuesday before
• 32:27
  the All-Star Game that the end of baseball— that the game of baseball is thriving
• 32:31
  and perhaps as good of a shape as it's been in the sport's history.
• 32:35
  They cited the sport's popularity and attendance, TV viewership,
• 32:39
  franchise values, and the younger demographics. The game, in the words
• 32:43
  of both leaders, is absolutely booming. That's where their similarities end.
• 32:47
  Boy, by the way, booming, that is— that is
• 32:51
  not a phrase that means we're not making
• 32:54
  ends meet. No. The word he used is booming.
• 32:58
  Continue, Tanya. Meyer and the players union believe that with the game
• 33:02
  prospering, there's no reason at all to overhaul the system with a salary cap.
• 33:05
  Manfred and the owners believe that if there's no salary cap, the game's
• 33:08
  popularity will wane lower than a 60-year-old neighborhood
• 33:12
  pickleball competition. Manfred reminded the Baseball Writers Association
• 33:16
  of America that the union wanted no part of a pitch clock either,
• 33:19
  and it has resulted in resounding success, and that it pushed back on the ABS
• 33:23
  challenge system too. Uh, no,
• 33:26
  we wanted robot umps. You wanted to make money off of it.
• 33:30
  Uh, and what are you fucking talking about? It's not like we had to vote
• 33:34
  on this. You just implemented it. He's also like, oh, you guys didn't want that
• 33:37
  either. Oh, I'm sorry, are you daddy? And you think now you're talking about affecting
• 33:41
  all of our livelihoods? What the fuck are you talking about? It's a totally—
• 33:45
  it's a— holy shit, it's a false equivalent. It is. This is a false— this
• 33:49
  is like, hey, like, can you fix this thing? I said, I don't know.
• 33:53
  I know a lot of episodes of The Cosby Show, though.
• 33:56
  Like what? Good, cool. What the fuck does that have to do with what we're
• 34:00
  talking about? Nothing. So Meyer pushed back and laughed, and he even
• 34:04
  mocked the premise that a salary cap would change anything but line
• 34:07
  up owners' pockets and argued that fans' biggest complaint
• 34:11
  is with their owners who won't spend the money to compete with the Dodgers and
• 34:14
  the big boys. If they were so concerned about fans, Meyer said, They would listen
• 34:19
  to the fans all across baseball who are literally chanting, sell the team.
• 34:22
  They don't want— they want the owners to sell the team because they feel they're
• 34:25
  not competing. They don't listen to that part. Every team in baseball
• 34:29
  can afford to compete. Many are choosing not to. To me,
• 34:32
  that's the biggest problem right now. I would agree. I would actually agree
• 34:36
  with that. It is basically the equivalent of tanking, except they're not tanking.
• 34:40
  Some of these teams, by the way, that are just choosing not to spend in
• 34:43
  certain realms, are just making money hand over fist and their attendance is— I'll use
• 34:47
  the Marlins as an example. Yeah. And by the way, the Marlins are fucking good
• 34:51
  because they have allotted some great money in their development and they do a good
• 34:54
  job developing. They have a great job scouting. The only thing they don't do is
• 34:56
  go out and spend money. By the way, baseball is— baseball is a sport.
• 34:59
  And this is where things get a little bit tricky with some— with a team
• 35:02
  like the Marlins. Baseball is a sport where you can like luck into
• 35:06
  like a group of players through your farm system and this through cheap acquisitions that
• 35:10
  just work for a while. 100%. That doesn't happen in every sport. But those sport—
• 35:14
  those guys can also get very good, and then they get the chance to make
• 35:17
  their money, right? Hence the whole prospect of Moneyball. But again, we discussed what Moneyball
• 35:21
  is. The movie Moneyball is a massive lie, right? Which is just not—
• 35:25
  perennial contenders are not like the Miami Marlins,
• 35:28
  right? Exactly. It's always the Dodgers and the— because they're just gonna— their business model
• 35:32
  is simply this: we're just gonna make our money and we're gonna replenish in the
• 35:35
  minor league system until we have a good amount of guys, and then we'll sell
• 35:37
  them at an upcharge, and then we're gonna have to redevelop these next guys for
• 35:40
  the next 4 years, and we'll be in the playoffs every 3 to 4 years,
• 35:43
  and we'll probably fizzle out unless we go on a magical run. And that's what
• 35:46
  they're basically doing, right? That is their business model. That is literally what they're choosing
• 35:49
  for their business model. It's a decision. It's not something they're forced
• 35:54
  into. They can easily spend money and do the exact same business model as the
• 35:58
  Dodgers. The Dodgers business model is we're going to go spend money. We're also going
• 36:02
  to overly spend money on developmental. They also spend a lot of money. This also
• 36:06
  the first team to spend money on paying for meals for their minor leaguers in
• 36:09
  their developmental. They also had a mental skills coach for like everybody. They also developed
• 36:13
  like a therapy program, a sleep program for the guys. The Dodgers were
• 36:17
  ahead of fucking everybody on everything.
• 36:21
  That's why they're the fucking Dodgers. I know
• 36:26
  it sucks if you're a fan of the Pirates and you don't have this,
• 36:29
  but it's because Bob Nutting has not invested into it.
• 36:32
  Well, and that's the thing is the Dodgers also like,
• 36:36
  yeah, there are teams that couldn't turn around and do what the Dodgers are doing
• 36:39
  right now this offseason. No, it has taken a decade,
• 36:43
  over a decade to build the Dodgers into what they are currently. I,
• 36:47
  as when I first moved to Los Angeles, the Dodgers were starting to fuck
• 36:51
  around with being in the playoffs every single year. They were starting to be really,
• 36:53
  really good and they were like perennial contenders and they weren't like quite
• 36:57
  getting there. They weren't quite getting there, but they had Dave Roberts and they were
• 36:59
  doing okay or moving along. They have incrementally
• 37:03
  like instituted and like obviously they, they,
• 37:07
  the team is bought and the investments are there and the investments
• 37:11
  behoove more investments and the money and they bring in all these things across the
• 37:15
  course of time. They're individual decisions adding up that lead
• 37:18
  to a team that is run the way that it's run
• 37:22
  now. Yes. It's not something you could overhaul in one offseason,
• 37:26
  but you start where they started.
• 37:30
  Like you start doing the things that they started doing in order to
• 37:34
  get the types of investment and the type of money. Yes.
• 37:39
  Can you replicate being in New York or Los Angeles?
• 37:42
  No, that's— I understand that, that, that exists
• 37:46
  whether there's a salary cap or not, period. Stop. You cannot replicate that.
• 37:50
  That's why more— the Lakers and the Knicks are
• 37:53
  more likely to get free agents than the fucking Cleveland Cavaliers
• 37:57
  and the Charlotte And by the way, if they don't, those channels
• 38:01
  like the ESPNs are going to bitch and complain. Why aren't we getting these
• 38:04
  guys to the major cities? Like, is this— this
• 38:08
  is like a weird programmed double standard. It's just something that exists
• 38:12
  for column inches. And the owners and the—
• 38:16
  just really know how to play it like a fiddle. This has been going on
• 38:20
  for 200 years of professional sport, like, and we're not getting smarter
• 38:25
  as a people. We're just— we're honestly getting dumber. And it's
• 38:28
  so frightening to me. That we can't— we're seeing the same, the same playbook
• 38:33
  from like 1954 is still working.
• 38:36
  And you don't see the playbook, especially when they're doing it directly in
• 38:40
  front of your face. I just want to go back to where we
• 38:44
  started. Rob Manfred says the league is booming.
• 38:48
  Attendance is up. The ratings are up.
• 38:52
  Everything is up. He said booming.
• 38:56
  The billionaires, the idea that the billionaires can't afford to compete. We are
• 39:00
  not doing this. We're not doing this. We're not doing this. We're not doing this.
• 39:03
  We just went through this with the Jaylen Brown thing. We go through this with
• 39:06
  the NFL all the time. We cannot live in a world where the last beacon
• 39:10
  of holding billionaires accountable to spend their fucking money is ripped
• 39:14
  out from underneath us. Baseball is going to be fucked. There is going to be
• 39:18
  a strike. There is going to— we are going to lose baseball because these motherfuckers
• 39:22
  are trying to take advantage of the Trump era. They're trying to take advantage of
• 39:25
  the technocratic billionaire bullshit that's going on right now. They know that there is a
• 39:28
  push around this entire culture of forcing like
• 39:32
  billionaires to basically labor exploitation.
• 39:36
  Oh, by the way, I don't know if you saw his quote about Trump today.
• 39:40
  He was asked about Trump today. What? Rob Manfred was asked about
• 39:44
  Donald Trump today, if whether or not Donald Trump will intervene.
• 39:47
  And he kind of said no while
• 39:52
  also acknowledging that the president is aware of the
• 39:56
  situation type of thing. What? And kind of like he's really
• 40:00
  smart about sports is kind of what he said.
• 40:04
  Motherfucker. Every single baseball
• 40:08
  player in the union, pay close attention because I
• 40:12
  know who you guys vote for, for the most part. I know who
• 40:16
  you guys, a lot of you idiots worship. For the most part,
• 40:20
  that man is coming for your money. Yeah.
• 40:24
  Not your boss's money. Your money.
• 40:27
  Remember that. Have a great day.
• 40:31
  That's, that's upsetting.
• 40:35
  You know, he's going to get involved. I hope these dumb—
• 40:38
  I hope these dumb MAGA idiots are not stupid enough to fall for Trump
• 40:42
  getting involved. He's not going to get involved. He's going to tweet about
• 40:47
  it and say things at press conferences and make it seem that he is
• 40:50
  somehow involved while trying to create a narrative around
• 40:54
  his current— his current— Well, I'm excited to see what the Christian MAGA
• 40:57
  baseball bros have to say. I'm really interested when Trump starts
• 41:02
  talking about how, you know, these baseball players can't have guaranteed
• 41:06
  contracts. I just want to know what you're going to say then. What do you—
• 41:10
  what do you think? How do you guys feel about Tommy John surgery?
• 41:13
  Your elbow's blown out. Contract null and void. How do you feel about that?
• 41:17
  Oh, you broke down, so you're out. How about that? Like, tell me. I'm just
• 41:20
  really interested. I'm interested to see how this goes. This is gonna be a lot
• 41:23
  of fun for everybody. I have no idea whether or not it's gonna turn into
• 41:26
  a complete shit show, but listen, everything else that the administration
• 41:30
  has touched has gone really well. How's the ceasefire?
• 41:36
  What ceasefire? Hmm. Oh, okay. Let's get over to
• 41:39
  the next subject, please. Netflix Aired the Home Run Derby.
• 41:43
  Yes, they did. It's Media Corner. And, um, in this Media Corner,
• 41:47
  I have a— we have a— I don't know if we've returned to this beef
• 41:51
  for a while, but it is one we've had before, which is non-sports
• 41:54
  companies venturing into sports broadcasts and not doing the sports
• 41:58
  of it all. Yeah. And now they fixed the Home Run Derby's biggest problem
• 42:02
  and created a new one. Now, thank you, by the way. Can I just start
• 42:06
  everything? A+. Fucking A. Yes. Fucking plus.
• 42:09
  Maybe shorten the first round a little bit. Yeah, we talked about in the last
• 42:13
  show. Yeah, well, they, they took away the time, but maybe every round 15 swings.
• 42:17
  I— because that swings thing fucking works way better.
• 42:19
  Fucking way better. But I think you can maybe the first round
• 42:23
  of 20 swings, maybe bound to 15. Outside of that, I was fine with it
• 42:27
  personally, but like that, I mean, it goes on for a while.
• 42:30
  It is kind of whatever, dude. It got, it got nail-biting and It
• 42:34
  gave me everything that I wanted and I loved about the Home Run Derby growing
• 42:38
  up. Every home run was majestic again. Every home run mattered.
• 42:42
  And, and finally somebody realized as a TV product— and
• 42:46
  I don't— I'm not going to give Netflix the credit for this, I'm not— whoever
• 42:48
  just figured out this is where the actual drama
• 42:52
  is. There was so much fucking
• 42:55
  drama. And also, I never do this— good job, fucking Philly.
• 42:59
  Good. You were Fucking character in this fucking
• 43:02
  Home Run Derby. Philly's always awesome as a live crowd. I mean,
• 43:06
  good in this, you have to give them credit. But with Schwarber in the end
• 43:09
  against Walker and the boos and the— it was fucking
• 43:14
  magic. Yeah, I mean, you couldn't script it. My God. And by the
• 43:17
  way, just full transparency, those magenta balls, and if you, um, you— the
• 43:21
  reason no one could hit them, you can't see them. Yeah. Um, I, I posted
• 43:25
  a video of me hitting one, uh, a couple years ago at Dodger Stadium because
• 43:27
  I testing out the thing for ESPN a few years back when they did the
• 43:31
  Home Run Derby here. And the first time it was thrown at me, now I
• 43:34
  did homer on that pitch that I swung because Daddy Riggs. Yeah,
• 43:38
  but it— but I will admit I yell out loud as I'm swinging,
• 43:42
  oh my God, that's so hard to see. Yeah, because it's like a strobe
• 43:46
  light being thrown at you. Yeah, I don't like that. You don't see a white
• 43:48
  thing. You see a white dot flickering. I was going to say that it's impossible
• 43:52
  to see. Yeah, impossible to do that. Right. They should not do that.
• 43:55
  Yeah. Like, but it— but listen, Schwarber hit one
• 43:59
  and then Jordan Walker fucking hit 4 in a row to fucking win it,
• 44:02
  bro. That's a— that was for a million dollars, by the
• 44:06
  way. Yeah, he had 4 home runs in a row for a million dollars.
• 44:09
  That's more money than he makes this year. Yeah, that's fucking insane.
• 44:13
  Can we just really talk about— fuck anything,
• 44:16
  nerves of steel is an understatement. Fucking— that guy just made
• 44:20
  a million dollars by hitting 4 impossible balls to see. Deep into
• 44:25
  the fucking Philly now. There's stakes for it like that, for especially for like they,
• 44:29
  um, when they did the like 1v1 tournament for the Undisputed, um,
• 44:33
  like league, or Undisputed, the women's—
• 44:36
  that's not Undisputed, my brain is trash— the women's Unrivaled.
• 44:40
  Unrivaled. Okay. Yeah. Um, they did 1v1 and
• 44:43
  the prize was like $200,000 something whatever dollars, and I was like,
• 44:46
  it's so nice when the players like get a real cash prize that matters,
• 44:50
  like, then on top of it, it's fucking awesome. This was so good. I was—
• 44:53
  it reminded me why I loved all those Home Run Derbies. It was like,
• 44:57
  it was a real return to form. And I got to give a lot of
• 45:00
  people credit. And you know what? I know we're about to be critical of Netflix.
• 45:03
  And yeah, no, no, make no mistake, we're going to be critical of— no,
• 45:06
  it's not the Home Run Derby that we're being critical of at all, like whatsoever.
• 45:10
  And the format, all that stuff. I think that you
• 45:13
  and I are probably similar in this way, I think, where when we have a,
• 45:17
  like, an attachment to something and, and like we already are primed
• 45:21
  to be nostalgic and enjoy it, it's, it's very easy to get us. Like,
• 45:24
  we want to enjoy the thing in front of us always. So something like that
• 45:28
  we're going to be able to enjoy if you're giving us anywhere semblance of a
• 45:30
  good product. And they did. The, the, the format of it was great.
• 45:34
  Um, here's the problem, and this is the same problem I had that
• 45:38
  they identified on Awful Announcing that I want to talk about because
• 45:41
  it's a big The Home Run Derby has one job. Yeah.
• 45:45
  Show the ball leaving the bat and show where it lands. With its cinematic
• 45:49
  ambitions, treated that job as optional. Tight close-ups
• 45:53
  on hitters' faces during their swings repeatedly cost viewers the actual moment of contact,
• 45:57
  and the broadcast leaned on those close-ups instead of following the ball on
• 46:01
  flight. At least show one stretch the camera—
• 46:05
  or on at least one stretch, the camera stayed locked on the pitcher through consecutive
• 46:09
  swings from Jordan Walker. Which is about as far as you can get from what
• 46:12
  everyone tuned in to see. It wasn't a matter of broadcast finding its footing
• 46:16
  over the course of the night either, as the same complaint kept surfacing swing after
• 46:20
  swing. The frustration turned into something close to a consensus among viewers.
• 46:23
  A home run derby doesn't need much more than a shot behind the pitcher and
• 46:27
  a shot on the ball's landing spot. And Netflix kept finding ways to
• 46:30
  use neither. And this is where the
• 46:34
  rubber meets the road when we're talking about not only games on
• 46:38
  Netflix, Also still on Apple, also still on Prime.
• 46:43
  These companies that are tech companies
• 46:46
  first or video companies first, that you did—
• 46:51
  whoever you hired to run your— not only your
• 46:54
  broadcast, the camera shots and everything else. Yeah, that's not a
• 46:58
  fucking— that's not a sports TV guy. I don't know a single sports TV guy
• 47:01
  on planet Earth that would have let that happen. Whoever you got— I'm gonna make
• 47:05
  this abundantly clear. I don't, I don't root for for people to get fired in
• 47:07
  this industry. Whoever is running your baseball shit, fire them.
• 47:10
  Fire them. Seriously, fucking fire them. Like, and hire anybody
• 47:14
  that is— I can't believe I'm saying this— hire anybody that's ever worked
• 47:19
  a day at MLB. And Cody, like, anybody. The reason I put this on here
• 47:22
  is so fucking insane. I have it on good authority. This is— I'm not just
• 47:25
  saying this— the people at Netflix will hire—
• 47:29
  will go to showrunners and directors
• 47:33
  and people who are doing the sports documentaries and
• 47:36
  broadcast for them and say,
• 47:40
  oh, you want them to do the editing? Oh, you want them to do the
• 47:43
  camera work? But they've only ever done sports.
• 47:46
  They, they've said that directly to someone who's creating a sports
• 47:50
  product. And then they say, okay, but we want to— we need somebody who— they
• 47:54
  literally think sports broadcasting is a joke. They think people who
• 47:58
  create sports television are fucking idiots. I gotta—
• 48:01
  I really want to stress this out. I can't stress this enough.
• 48:04
  Netflix, you're so fucking bad at this. I— here,
• 48:08
  let's go through the list. Yeah, I have a full fucking— let's go ahead and
• 48:11
  start with the fucking Michael Bay endless camera
• 48:15
  movement, close-up fucking shots, as if Tobe Hooper is all of a sudden
• 48:19
  Les Mis-ing this fucking thing. Show me
• 48:23
  ball hit bat, ball over fence.
• 48:26
  It is fucking that simple. How you can't do that
• 48:30
  is fucking baffling. Like, you're showing shots in fucking
• 48:34
  bullet time, you're fucking doing vertigo effects.
• 48:36
  Fucking quit it. This is not a fucking film project.
• 48:40
  This looked like it was directed by a fucking 13-year-old
• 48:44
  who read like— who's like a fan of Kubrick and he's like, I'm gonna make
• 48:47
  all these things, watch me De Palma this. That's what they do. Fuck. They hire
• 48:52
  They hire directors and like they hire people specifically
• 48:57
  who have that experience and who have never once
• 49:01
  ever done either live sports or documentary sports or anything.
• 49:04
  They per— and they purposely do that because they say they, they genuinely
• 49:09
  will look at someone dead in the eye who's producing the fucking Home
• 49:12
  Run Derby and be like, uh, yeah, but we need somebody
• 49:16
  who actually like gets TV.
• 49:19
  Nope. You know you do. No, they're right, they do.
• 49:23
  They need someone to get TV. Sports fucking TV, which has been in existence
• 49:27
  for a while. I don't understand how on planet Earth we got to the
• 49:30
  point where— by the way, the only thing people watch live is
• 49:35
  sports. It's sports. It's literally it. We are the last zeitgeist. We are
• 49:39
  the last thing that brings in fucking live ratings.
• 49:42
  Everybody from camera— from camera operators to directors,
• 49:46
  to producers, to editors, to talent, to everyone else.
• 49:49
  We are the last zeitgeist of live television.
• 49:54
  End of story. Why on planet Earth would you be like,
• 49:57
  you know who needs to do this? Who needs to edit this thing is our
• 50:00
  fucking docs dude from— you know what we
• 50:04
  need? We need Bill Pope from The Matrix movies to be the cinematographer
• 50:08
  on this. No, you fucking don't. You need Tondra Fox to fucking get a tripod
• 50:12
  and a camera Place it there, place it here, get a guy on
• 50:16
  fucking one movable camera so we can see where it lands.
• 50:20
  The end. It's really that simple. You're doing too much.
• 50:24
  Too much. No. And, and by the way, it's— if you were doing too much
• 50:27
  and it was just like sort of evening out and you were just wasting your
• 50:31
  own money and time, that'd be one thing. But you're doing too much and making
• 50:34
  it worse. That's the crazy— you're doing too much and making it way worse.
• 50:37
  And I say this all the time, and unfortunately it is true.
• 50:41
  When Lee Fitting was fired by ESPN for being a creep,
• 50:46
  he went over to WWE. They love that,
• 50:51
  obviously. And while I hate
• 50:55
  to say it because he's a creep and he shouldn't have been able to just
• 50:58
  go over to WWE and start fucking and like become basically the,
• 51:01
  the showrunner of these shows, he made
• 51:05
  it so much better because he understands how to do live sports television,
• 51:09
  and he incorporated that into WWE. They were smart enough to look at
• 51:13
  his— now this guy was a fucking— he was a like a legendary
• 51:17
  sports television producer, creep, and an awful person who deserved to get fired and
• 51:21
  definitely didn't deserve to get rehired. But my point is, that was
• 51:24
  a perfect example of somebody who they looked at and they were like, this guy
• 51:28
  knows exactly what to do with what we're trying to do. We're trying to
• 51:32
  diversify our— like, we're doing all of these live programming We're doing all this
• 51:36
  and we want it to feel more like sports, more like an event. How do
• 51:39
  we do that? We get a live sports guy. These people are doing live sports,
• 51:42
  real live sports, and they're like, you know who we need? We need some documentarians
• 51:46
  and some fucking film editors. I agree. By the way, that's only problem one.
• 51:50
  Can we fucking move on to the next problem? Oh, by the way, I actually
• 51:54
  do want to give kudos to one thing. I thought the crew that was doing
• 51:56
  the actual Home Run Derby did a pretty good job. Yeah, I thought Barry Bonds
• 51:59
  did a pretty good job. I thought, uh, I thought Anthony Rizzo did a good
• 52:02
  job. Fun. Yeah. So I know, no real complaints there other than,
• 52:05
  listen, I mean, they got— yeah, they got Barry Bonds and like, what, Albert Pujols?
• 52:09
  Yeah. Like, yeah. Was it, was it perfect? No, but I thought they did a
• 52:12
  pretty decent job. So good job there. So there's something.
• 52:15
  Granted, just because I'm an old school Home Run Derby guy, I miss
• 52:18
  Chris Berman saying back, back, back, back, back, back, back. Sure. That's all. I wish
• 52:22
  you just fucking put it on a button and press it and so we could
• 52:24
  hear it just once or twice. I miss iconic— that's all. It's not a
• 52:28
  big deal. Fucking Pay Chris Berman to show up for like one hitter. I'm sure
• 52:32
  he'll do it. I— why not? Yeah. Um, outside of that,
• 52:36
  good, good on that. Um, the— I thought some of
• 52:39
  the little pieces that they put together weren't bad. Um,
• 52:42
  the prepackaged videos, thought they weren't bad. I thought they did a good job of
• 52:46
  introducing a couple of players. Um, Will Ferrell and all of them— people
• 52:51
  hated that, man. I know, guys, I'm a Will Ferrell fan, but like, can we
• 52:54
  stop doing this, please. I don't know why we keep trying to force comedians into
• 52:58
  this space. I don't like it when they do it with Nikki Glaser. I don't
• 53:01
  like when they do it with these people. It's never— no thank you. It never
• 53:04
  works. It's always bad. Just fucking stop.
• 53:08
  Let it be pageantry. Let it be pageantry. Let it even
• 53:12
  be goofy pageantry. Don't— you don't need to bring in a comedian to make a
• 53:16
  literal mockery of it, um, because they always fall flat and
• 53:20
  no one is there to make a mockery of this. So like,
• 53:23
  I get it, but I, I appreciate the try. I get you're trying to sell
• 53:26
  the product of Hawk, but fucking stop. Just fucking stop.
• 53:30
  You can just make commercials. I know because I had to watch all of them
• 53:33
  17 fucking times. 3 of 8. That 3-minute
• 53:37
  clock countdown is like a century to me. Ha!
• 53:40
  But fuck it, whatever. I understand that one too.
• 53:44
  CeCe Sabathia doing sideline reporting.
• 53:47
  And not being C.C. Sabathia being all buttoned up
• 53:51
  like he was like, and he's like asking like questions that you can literally get
• 53:54
  any Joe Schmo off the street to do and do it like a little bit
• 53:57
  better as opposed to what you like. What C.C.'s— C.C.'s got a lot of personality.
• 54:00
  Fucking let him just go be C.C. Don't like— you literally don't ever
• 54:04
  use C.C. Sabathia as a sideline reporter. Like, you literally have him over there going
• 54:07
  like, and so what do you think you need to do to get better for
• 54:10
  this next round? Back to you, Bob. That's fucking C.C.
• 54:14
  Sabathia. I don't know why we have such a problem with people who went to
• 54:17
  journalism school getting jobs, but like, The fuck are we doing? CeCe Sabathia is an
• 54:21
  incredible studio guest. He's an incredible podcast guest. And like, do those things.
• 54:25
  He's not a fucking sideline reporter. Stop trying to make these people have
• 54:29
  to— we all— there's a bunch of us who were trained to do
• 54:33
  the job. Just fucking— holy fucking shit, just hire somebody. Oh my God,
• 54:36
  God, I just— I was just banging my head against the wall going like,
• 54:39
  the fuck are you guys— just get back to the home run derby. And now
• 54:42
  here's another thing. This is just fucking practical. Fuck all the camera moving, all that.
• 54:46
  Why are you interviewing people that are not in the Home Run Derby or have
• 54:50
  anything to do with the Home Run Derby during the Home Run Derby?
• 54:54
  I missed probably a total of 8 home runs
• 54:58
  because you were just interviewing someone else. They weren't doing a very good job at
• 55:02
  the picture-in-picture thing. Like, you know, sometimes it was baffling how horribly this
• 55:06
  was shot. It was a poorly directed— directed and edited. It was a poorly produced—
• 55:11
  it's awesome. It was poorly produced in terms of all of that stuff. The technical—
• 55:14
  the technical elements were poorly produced. Terrible. The,
• 55:18
  the format was great because it's a choice, Cody.
• 55:22
  Like, I have friends who make talk— it's like, it's bad when I sit down
• 55:25
  and talk to these people about what they have to do to get people
• 55:30
  who understand sports television on their projects. It's a nightmare. It's a nightmare.
• 55:34
  Well, anyway, how about this silver lining? The Home Run Derby was great because
• 55:38
  the Home Run Derby was fucking great, right? Right. Uh, Netflix tried to
• 55:42
  fuck it up. I'll give them kudos for one thing, one thing only.
• 55:46
  Supreme upgrade to opening night. Opening night
• 55:50
  was a goddamn calamity. I think we talked about it. Yeah, calamity.
• 55:53
  Everything was awful. Everything. This was not everything.
• 55:57
  It was fine. The only things that were awful— it's also— we are doing
• 56:01
  the sports, we are doing inside baseball here. Like, we— when you're— when
• 56:04
  you've been making tell— I've been making television my entire adult life.
• 56:08
  Like, I'm gonna be incredibly picky about the things
• 56:11
  that like just could be so much better. I'm glad Chris
• 56:15
  didn't watch it, honestly, because he would have— it would have driven him nuts.
• 56:17
  I bet it would have driven him fucking nuts. Yeah, hire Chris.
• 56:22
  Have Chris run the entire fucking thing. It'll be fantastic.
• 56:26
  I— when I always say if I ever win the lottery, I'm just starting a
• 56:29
  multimedia company. Yeah, like I have— I have the best
• 56:33
  people available at every single— this show will be in front of your face everywhere.
• 56:37
  Oh my god, every Everywhere. Never stop. This show will be daily.
• 56:40
  It will be on NBC somehow. And we will have our own private jet.
• 56:44
  Oh, and it's going to say The Regulars on the side of it. There's going
• 56:48
  to be so much savvy on this plane. So fucking
• 56:52
  much. Anyways, what is our next media corner?
• 56:56
  Okay. You and I rip ESPN a lot because we do. Yes,
• 57:00
  we do. And they are always deserving of it. Every time.
• 57:03
  Every single time. And by the way, That doesn't mean we don't give them kudos
• 57:07
  when they do things that are good, too. Exactly. And that being said, it's getting
• 57:10
  fewer and far in between. However,
• 57:13
  something that we feel is totally
• 57:17
  fair is hyping up Serena Williams returning to Wimbledon. I really thought that was like
• 57:21
  a totally normal thing to do. Win for everybody. Win for everybody.
• 57:25
  ESPN was really leaning into that. She's the GOAT. She's coming back.
• 57:28
  Yeah. Chris Russo. Oh, no, no, no.
• 57:32
  His name is Christopher. Christopher Russo. And I want to make it abundantly clear,
• 57:35
  the man I have the least respect for in this entire industry. Continue.
• 57:39
  He ripped ESPN for hyping Serena Williams at Wimbledon.
• 57:44
  They played up Serena Williams like you wouldn't believe,
• 57:47
  he ranted on SiriusXM during his return from vacation
• 57:50
  on Monday. And then Serena got her ass handed to her. She had— she
• 57:55
  lost her last 5 games to a kid who hadn't won a match in 6
• 57:59
  months. Who then lost in the next round in the 3rd set,
• 58:02
  6-0. You would have thought Serena was doing something heroic.
• 58:05
  I mean, take it easy, will ya? She came back to play a first-round match
• 58:09
  at Wimbledon after 3 or 4 years, lost to a person who hadn't won a
• 58:13
  match on the pro tour since January. Can we take it easy?
• 58:19
  Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
• 58:23
  We have got— I used to work at that fucking channel. We have got
• 58:27
  to retire everybody. I think if
• 58:31
  you are a white man with a microphone over the age of 55, you got
• 58:34
  to go. I think you're all— you all got to go. I don't think there's
• 58:37
  one who gets to remain. I don't think there's one who
• 58:41
  gets to remain. She— in any sport, in any sport.
• 58:46
  By the way, by the way, did we not— just out of curiosity,
• 58:49
  Cody, did we not just watch The entire UFC
• 58:53
  world act like Conor McGregor, washed rapist,
• 58:58
  convicted rapist Conor McGregor coming back to
• 59:02
  UFC to get his fucking knee buckled in 39
• 59:06
  seconds. They acted like,
• 59:09
  like the king of, of the entire sport
• 59:12
  had returned. What was, what was, what was Christian's segment
• 59:17
  about that? What do you say about that? Nothing. Because I saw a lot of
• 59:21
  ESPN reporting on it. What did he say about that? I'm just curious what— I
• 59:23
  want to know what Chrissy said about that. It's very simple.
• 59:28
  Nothing. I guess he wasn't so mad about them hyping up a washed-up
• 59:32
  rapist all week, but they— but he was upset about
• 59:36
  them hyping up the greatest women's tennis player, one of the greatest tennis players
• 59:41
  regardless of gender of all time. Is anyone— arguably
• 59:45
  the GOAT of the sport. Historically, she's 44 years old,
• 59:48
  she's had multiple kids. Like, she was retired and came back
• 59:53
  like at the age of 44 in a sport where you're old at 27.
• 59:56
  Yeah. Um, she's the greatest ever did it. She came back and played at Wimbledon.
• 1:00:00
  Um, it's astonishing that this— it's actually like an athletic
• 1:00:04
  feat that like is just truly astonishing. And it was kind
• 1:00:08
  of cool. And yeah, she's maybe the most famous tennis player who ever lived.
• 1:00:11
  It makes all the sense. Oh, and she also, uh, has not
• 1:00:15
  been, um, convicted or accused of any sexual
• 1:00:20
  crimes that I'm aware of. No. You know, it's so fascinating though, because every
• 1:00:24
  time Tiger Woods picks up a fucking golf
• 1:00:28
  club and every time he gets behind a wheel and even sniffs a fucking
• 1:00:32
  golf course on the tour, we— oh guys,
• 1:00:36
  I get fucking notifications. Tiger's— Tiger's hitting balls
• 1:00:40
  at— fuck, Tiger is 100 years old, has 7 drunk driving charges,
• 1:00:44
  hasn't won shit since he won the Masters in 2019, and I get an
• 1:00:48
  update every fucking time. This is what ESPN does.
• 1:00:52
  If a GOAT is doing something, they are going to blast it out.
• 1:00:56
  And God forbid— I mean, Conor McGregor's not even a GOAT and they're gonna blast
• 1:01:00
  it out because God forbid we don't promote
• 1:01:04
  famous rapists. But like, at what point
• 1:01:08
  do we just take, take the mics? Defund the mics.
• 1:01:12
  Can we defund the mics for Gen X and boomer white
• 1:01:15
  guys? I'd say he fucking— you think, you think Christian is
• 1:01:20
  fucking Gen X? That guy's like 70 fucking 5
• 1:01:24
  years old. Because Russo. Yeah. How old is he? Oh,
• 1:01:28
  who gives a shit? He's worthless. I don't know. This is baffling. Yeah.
• 1:01:31
  Please take it. I think Gen X and boomer, I think Well, maybe young Gen
• 1:01:35
  X. Anybody under, under the age of under 55.
• 1:01:40
  He's like in his 60s at least. Chris Russo age.
• 1:01:44
  How old are you? 66 years old.
• 1:01:47
  He's older than my mom. Fucking retire, clown.
• 1:01:51
  Ooh, October 18th. Bad Libra representation.
• 1:01:55
  Bad sign, bud. Bad Libra representation. That's not good. What's,
• 1:01:59
  what's his moon? That's a good question. It's probably— it's probably Gemini or
• 1:02:03
  Scorpio. Oh, you fuck. That sucks. Yeah. Hey, you were doomed from the start,
• 1:02:07
  man. I don't know. That's what I'm just guessing because I— that's bad Libra representation
• 1:02:10
  from the start, I guess. Um, but yeah, like, I just— it's so
• 1:02:15
  disingenuous. And this is on the heels of like Coward
• 1:02:19
  put Lamar Jackson outside his top 10. Like, these dudes are just rage baiting
• 1:02:23
  to the point of like not needing to be on television or radio anymore.
• 1:02:27
  Like, it's exhausting. It's exhausting. It's worthless. They're ruining
• 1:02:31
  sports discourse. Just all worthless. That's what I
• 1:02:35
  don't like about it. That's— it's what I've always— that's what this show is about.
• 1:02:38
  Like, it's about us just— it's about us being better than literally everyone.
• 1:02:42
  Yeah, it's us honestly being the best. You know what, here's the thing. It's about
• 1:02:45
  us being the smartest in the room. But it's not that we're like— I always
• 1:02:48
  tell people we're not— we're not the smartest in the room because Mocha's here.
• 1:02:51
  Oh, we're definitely— we're definitely the smartest. No, we said we aren't. I said she
• 1:02:55
  was trying to compliment you. I was being realistic. You just— you just proved that
• 1:02:58
  you're not the smartest because I was complimenting you and you didn't even compliment me.
• 1:03:00
  You and I are just Just fucking— we work in sports media.
• 1:03:03
  We're just in the dumbest fuck rooms every single
• 1:03:07
  day. This is why the people that are willing to say this shit,
• 1:03:10
  they're not— not only are they the dumbest fucks, they're also just— they're the— they're
• 1:03:13
  literally just the grifters who are willing to say anything as long as
• 1:03:17
  you click on it. It's fucking sad and embarrassing, especially if you're 66
• 1:03:22
  years old. I think about this all the time. I was— I remember sitting
• 1:03:25
  in my— one of my philosophy classes that I was taking in college. And I
• 1:03:29
  was doing my normal thing. Of course, like, you and I would have been great
• 1:03:32
  buddies in college in these classes because, like, yappers doing thoughts,
• 1:03:36
  you know, just, just going through philosophical ideas and
• 1:03:39
  playing it out and talking through it, you know. And so I'm doing my thing
• 1:03:43
  in class, and class ends. My, my professor
• 1:03:48
  comes up to me after and she goes, what's your major? And I was like,
• 1:03:53
  I'm majoring in communication studies and minor in digital media and journalism. And she
• 1:03:57
  was like, and that's challenging
• 1:04:02
  to you? You feel fulfilled by that? And I
• 1:04:06
  was like, yes. And she's like,
• 1:04:10
  I just feel like you could be doing more. And I was like, okay,
• 1:04:13
  but that's what I'm doing. And she was like, okay. And I walked out of
• 1:04:16
  class and I'm like, she literally just was like, you dumb bitch, you could be
• 1:04:20
  doing something so much cooler. I'm like, yeah, oh no, I need a philosophy degree.
• 1:04:24
  Let's shut the fuck up. I hope she wasn't suggesting that. I don't know what
• 1:04:27
  she was suggesting, but it was really funny. She was like, you're gonna go into
• 1:04:31
  an industry with a bunch of idiots who are way too dumb. And she wasn't
• 1:04:35
  wrong. I thought I was gonna be one of those idiots. Turns out I am
• 1:04:37
  actually smarter than most. Yeah, I know. Uh, which is really upsetting.
• 1:04:41
  Here you are going toe-to-toe with the, uh, philosophy— with the, the woman who could
• 1:04:45
  have had a philosophy major. Hey, listen, I, I was a history major. I have
• 1:04:48
  nothing to write home about. Oh, I love history. Me too, especially how we keep
• 1:04:52
  repeating it. Yeah, because we get to redo it every couple hundred years.
• 1:04:55
  Well, seemingly every 20 now. Yes. So that's fun because
• 1:04:59
  now I'm of the age where I remember the last 20. Boy,
• 1:05:03
  we're doing this one again. We're playing these hits again?
• 1:05:06
  Boy, you must have found a new audience. They always have.
• 1:05:09
  They did. Yeah.
• 1:05:13
  All right, this week we are doing Hills We're
• 1:05:17
  Dying On. Yeah, to close out the show. So,
• 1:05:20
  um, do you know what hill you're dying on? I know what I'm— I can
• 1:05:23
  definitely find one in the next 10 seconds. All right, well, I know— you want
• 1:05:26
  me to start? Yes. Okay, the hill I'm dying on, and this is— just
• 1:05:32
  give me a second to explain it, okay? I cannot
• 1:05:36
  stand, and I think it is— I think it is
• 1:05:40
  a lie when men say I'm attracted
• 1:05:44
  to to blondes. I don't—
• 1:05:48
  I think it's— I don't know what they're trying to say, and I need you
• 1:05:52
  guys to help me out on this, but I will die on the hill that
• 1:05:54
  men are not attracted to blondes. Like when
• 1:05:58
  they're like, blonde's my type, because like
• 1:06:02
  4% of the world is blonde. Everything that they're
• 1:06:05
  talking about is like brunettes whose hair is dyed.
• 1:06:10
  Like Nobody's blonde, really. Like, there are
• 1:06:13
  very— I mean, I am, but like, that's very— it's like rare that someone is
• 1:06:17
  actually blonde. So what they're talking about is white
• 1:06:22
  women who dye their hair a specific color. Your type is, I like women who
• 1:06:26
  dye my hair a specific color, right? Yes. Now I could say I
• 1:06:31
  like men who wear glasses, right? Like, okay,
• 1:06:34
  that could be a type of mine. But a
• 1:06:38
  lot of people wear glasses. Yes, a lot of them. A lot
• 1:06:42
  of people wear glasses. That's something that you encounter frequently because poor eyesight
• 1:06:46
  is pretty regular. My, my eyesight's gotten— I feel like someone
• 1:06:50
  being like, my type is somebody who's blonde, is the same as someone being like,
• 1:06:53
  I'm really attracted to like paraplegics
• 1:06:59
  or something. Like, it's just like, it's not something you run into very often.
• 1:07:03
  I'm not gonna lie to you, sounds a little, little gatekeeping.
• 1:07:07
  Sounds like someone who's like, no, no, no, no, I'm a real— I know,
• 1:07:11
  I know, that's what I'm saying. It's not that— it has nothing to do— I
• 1:07:14
  don't— it has nothing to do with like, if you like blondes, you should only
• 1:07:18
  like me. Okay, okay, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying I just—
• 1:07:22
  when people say that, what are you actually saying? That's fair, that they
• 1:07:26
  only like 6% of the population. No, because like, that's what my point is,
• 1:07:30
  like When you say, I really like, I'm attracted to blondes, they're all like 95%
• 1:07:33
  of the time, 98% of the time you're talking about somebody who dyes their hair
• 1:07:35
  blonde. Fine. But what essentially, like,
• 1:07:38
  you are not attracted to hair color. No, you're not. I would
• 1:07:42
  assume you're not. Like, that's an insane, like the,
• 1:07:46
  'cause blonde is also very many shades. There could be platinum blonde, there could be
• 1:07:49
  whatever, right? So what are you saying? What you're actually saying is I'm attracted to
• 1:07:53
  like someone with, Eurocentric white features,
• 1:07:58
  right? Like that has to be what they mean, right? Probably, but I don't—
• 1:08:02
  it's a phenotype. Yeah.
• 1:08:05
  Like, yeah, but, but what I'm telling you is blonde people
• 1:08:09
  specifically are such a small percentage of the population that what you're talking about,
• 1:08:13
  you're talking about brunettes. Okay. Most people who have blonde
• 1:08:17
  hair are just brunettes with their hair dyed. Mocha, what's your type?
• 1:08:21
  I, I don't really like have a specific— me neither,
• 1:08:24
  dude. I've— when everyone tells me like what their type is, I think they're fucking
• 1:08:28
  weird. Well, so I think my type is female.
• 1:08:31
  Yeah, like you, you know what gender you like. Yeah, which is like fine,
• 1:08:35
  but like I just think a lot of times what— it's always blown
• 1:08:39
  my mind that people— like there was a Love Island girl where everybody
• 1:08:43
  was like, oh, I'm— she was like, he said he like doesn't usually go for
• 1:08:45
  blondes. And like, this bitch had 2 inches of brunette
• 1:08:49
  roots, right? I'm like, oh, well, just grow your hair out
• 1:08:53
  then. But that's not what he meant. What he actually meant was that he goes
• 1:08:57
  for like genuinely like darker skin,
• 1:09:01
  dark eyes, dark hair, like darker features, like Persian and
• 1:09:05
  Black American. Like, that was like the style of woman that he liked.
• 1:09:08
  I'm like, so no, it's not blondes. You don't like— I get it, you're— you
• 1:09:12
  don't like European white. Yeah, you, you, you— but
• 1:09:17
  instead of that, we've started using this as like blonde. Yeah, I, I always found
• 1:09:21
  this in something like brunette white girls don't exist. So I had like— so I
• 1:09:24
  remember like I had a lot of friends growing up that became like models and
• 1:09:26
  they started getting the modeling thing and, you know, some— a couple of them were
• 1:09:29
  actually real blondes and a couple of them were like, you know, one— yeah,
• 1:09:33
  one, one— no, I know. Yeah, but like one was Indian, another, another was,
• 1:09:37
  uh, was was African-American and all, and, and just a little—
• 1:09:41
  just a couple of different, different people. And I'll never forget it, they used
• 1:09:45
  this phrase for, for the girl that was Black and the girl that was Indian,
• 1:09:48
  and it always like bothered me. I don't know why. I get— maybe I'm overly
• 1:09:52
  sensitive, but they were like, oh yeah, we, we actually do want you two because
• 1:09:54
  you two are exotic. Yes. And the phrase exotic was just like,
• 1:09:58
  the fuck does that mean? Super fetishizing. Something about that's like fucking a little off
• 1:10:02
  to me. It's super— I've always thought it was really fetishizing to refer to brown
• 1:10:06
  and Black women as exotic because it's like,
• 1:10:09
  that's, that's a fetishizing thing. It's like, oh, you're different, you're not like the,
• 1:10:12
  like the Eurocentric beauty standard that we deal with over here, you're kind of cool
• 1:10:16
  and different. It's like, no, that, that's actually the, the global majority
• 1:10:19
  looks like those women. Yeah, like the global majority is not
• 1:10:23
  white people, by the way. So I don't know, it's always
• 1:10:27
  just like, it's a— I, I will die on the hill that no one's actually
• 1:10:31
  attracted to blonde. That's not a type.
• 1:10:34
  Your type can't be blondes because 90% of
• 1:10:39
  the blondes you've met don't have blonde hair. Your type is a Eurocentric,
• 1:10:43
  like, white person phenotype, which is whatever,
• 1:10:47
  but it's not blonde. Sorry, like, that's just not a fucking thing.
• 1:10:51
  There's not enough— you have not met enough natural blondes for that to be a
• 1:10:54
  type. And it's not— that's not me being like, that's why I'm special. I don't
• 1:10:58
  give a fuck. Fuck, I don't even like white guys, so they can fuck off.
• 1:11:00
  But like, just saying, it's mostly white guys who say that.
• 1:11:04
  White guys being like, I like white blonde girls. Okay, fuck off. You just like
• 1:11:07
  white people who happen to dye their hair blonde. And I— it's— no
• 1:11:12
  one can explain to me when they say that what they mean. Of course,
• 1:11:15
  like, they like white people. Yeah,
• 1:11:18
  it's more or less what they're saying. That's what it feels like. It's kind of
• 1:11:22
  what— no, it's— I mean, it feels like it's coded for I like white girls.
• 1:11:25
  That's Yes. And when you say, I don't like— I don't really like blondes,
• 1:11:29
  or I don't normally date blondes, it means you date not white girls. See,
• 1:11:33
  me, I remember one time when I was in college, I was out with a
• 1:11:36
  group of girls, and I guess they found me attractive. This was really cool because
• 1:11:38
  they were like asking me a lot of questions. I guess they found me attractive.
• 1:11:41
  I like how you're like, I can't believe it. Well, you have to understand,
• 1:11:44
  I grew up fat. When I grew up fat, that does— oh yeah, I know.
• 1:11:46
  A former fat kid really does always have a very specific— it does a real
• 1:11:49
  number to your psyche for the rest of your life because no matter what,
• 1:11:52
  how Whatever shape I've been in, and sometimes I've been in great shape, sometimes I'm
• 1:11:55
  in like not great shape, all I see is that fucking fat kid.
• 1:11:59
  It's crazy. I see 7th grade Cody Decker. I can't unsee
• 1:12:04
  it. Doesn't matter if I have hair, doesn't matter if I shave. We gotta get
• 1:12:07
  you to therapy, my guy. No, no, I have. There's no fixing it. There's no
• 1:12:10
  one doing this for you. They're just like, listen, it's just the way it is.
• 1:12:11
  So you just can't believe women find you attractive still? No, it makes me more
• 1:12:15
  appreciative. Okay, okay. I'm like, really? Thank you. Oh my God. Because you're
• 1:12:19
  wasting your time saying it. But if you really believe it, like,
• 1:12:23
  wow, gee willies, tell me more.
• 1:12:26
  Look, so it does occasionally happen. I'll never forget this.
• 1:12:31
  It was a group of girls, and I felt so bad about something
• 1:12:35
  because each girl was there, and everyone was— there was a girl that was
• 1:12:39
  Indian, a girl that was Black, a girl that was white, blonde. It literally,
• 1:12:42
  it was a group of— Every version of you. It was like every version of
• 1:12:45
  human was in front of me. It wasn't a sorority, but it was like a
• 1:12:48
  grouping of girls that were doing the thing. They were asking me what my type
• 1:12:51
  was, and I didn't really know how to answer the question.
• 1:12:55
  Because the answer is all
• 1:13:00
  of you. It's just women are my type, and it's more than that.
• 1:13:04
  But I did say this, and there was one redhead there,
• 1:13:07
  and I said, I have noticed I've never really been— I've
• 1:13:11
  never found myself super attracted to any particular redhead, but I don't
• 1:13:15
  think that's a thing. And like, she was really like— she almost looked like,
• 1:13:18
  oh really? And like, oh no, no, you're very— I'm—
• 1:13:22
  I just— no, I did— I didn't mean that. I just— in my life,
• 1:13:26
  I've always kind of like realized I've never dated a redhead or anything
• 1:13:29
  like that since. And I have dated redheads. Yeah, they are just as pretty as
• 1:13:32
  anyone. Sure. Um, I don't have a type. No,
• 1:13:36
  I don't have a type either. I really don't. Like, if you get my celebrity
• 1:13:39
  list, it's fucking all over. No, I don't have a type. I would say that
• 1:13:42
  like Like, I definitely have a type that like probably there's more people
• 1:13:46
  in that category than like whatever, like, but in general,
• 1:13:50
  I, I will find someone of every like race,
• 1:13:53
  gender, ethnicity attractive. Like, I have one non-type.
• 1:13:56
  I have something that now has like really repelled me. Hold on,
• 1:13:59
  can I guess? Sure. It's not a type of person. It's,
• 1:14:02
  it's, well, it is a type of person, but it has nothing to do with
• 1:14:06
  like actual features. Oh, uh, it's what they've done to the features.
• 1:14:10
  Oh, too much work. Too much work done is, is like
• 1:14:14
  a legit like issue for me. Yeah, it's— and it's
• 1:14:17
  like, it's not that you're ugly, TV face, right? It's like, it's TV face.
• 1:14:20
  Like, I really— I don't— I'm not attracted to TV face anymore. Yeah,
• 1:14:24
  like there was a time where I think I was because I think it was
• 1:14:26
  a little more— because it was novel. It was also novel for a while where
• 1:14:30
  it was like that, um, the Kim Kardashian face was like,
• 1:14:33
  oh, that's like, oh my gosh. And then so when people looked like that and
• 1:14:36
  it was like Instagram face and all the— everything was being pushed you looked like
• 1:14:40
  that, you were almost being conditioned to be like, that's the prettiest. And by the
• 1:14:42
  way, men do this too. And I, I like— it irks me when I see
• 1:14:46
  it in them too because I feel like I'm like, dude, what are you doing?
• 1:14:47
  Like, what's going on? Dude, it feels like they're wearing a mask. Have you seen
• 1:14:50
  Bradley Cooper lately? Yeah, dude, what are you doing? You look like you're wearing a
• 1:14:53
  mask, Bradley Cooper. I know, stop it. I hate it. Please stop it. You were
• 1:14:56
  like— you were the handsomest guy in every room you were in. Like, and now
• 1:15:00
  you— what are you doing? You know who— leave it alone. Leave it alone.
• 1:15:03
  You know who hasn't done that and who like Like, um, like,
• 1:15:08
  it's so interesting that the good-looking, like, white dudes always do that.
• 1:15:11
  And then, like, Idris Elba looks amazing. Amazing. Ages,
• 1:15:15
  ages, aging great. Denzel Washington aged beautifully all the way. And, like,
• 1:15:18
  now Denzel's in his 60s. He looks like he's in his 60s. You know,
• 1:15:21
  he's a guy who's had some work done that actually, I think, actually, that I
• 1:15:23
  think actually looks all right. And he's not— I'm not a fan of him personally,
• 1:15:27
  but, like, uh, Dennis Quaid actually doesn't look terrible. I think he looks
• 1:15:31
  crazy. A little crazy, but it's not— I think he started looking great. It might
• 1:15:34
  have gotten worse later, but I had a huge crush on Dennis Quaid as a
• 1:15:38
  kid. I was like a little kid like watching Parent Trap and
• 1:15:41
  I was like, oh, Dennis Quaid, like, that's it. Oh, are we talking 2000
• 1:15:47
  Dennis? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, 2000 Dennis Quaid. So like, I think he like— peak
• 1:15:51
  Dennis Quaid is still in my head. I hate the movie The Rookie, but listen,
• 1:15:54
  Dennis Quaid in The Rookie— all my childhood crushes for like adult men
• 1:15:58
  outside of— so it was Denzel, Dennis Quaid, and Mel
• 1:16:02
  Gibson. Dude, that was primetime Mel.
• 1:16:05
  Primetime Mel was pretty good looking. And I know you like— question, did you
• 1:16:09
  like, um, because he's won Sexiest Man Alive twice and he was
• 1:16:12
  the one I never quite understood, uh, uh, Richard Gere?
• 1:16:16
  Oh yeah, yeah. Okay, see, I never got that one. Yeah, no,
• 1:16:19
  super handsome. Mocha, does that make sense to you? Richard Gere never made sex—
• 1:16:23
  you know who Richard Gere is, Mocha? I don't even know that. Come on,
• 1:16:26
  you know who Richard Gere is. Have you ever seen An Officer and a Gentleman?
• 1:16:29
  No. Pretty Woman? Pretty Woman? No. You never seen
• 1:16:33
  Pretty Woman? Really? This is— I mean, that's actually pretty surprised by that. Pretty old
• 1:16:36
  school, maybe. I guess so. That came out in like 1991.
• 1:16:41
  Oh yeah. How many old movies have you seen? I mean, are you like an
• 1:16:44
  old movie guy? I mean, depends. I don't know.
• 1:16:48
  Anyway, what old movies? Like, I guess 1991,
• 1:16:51
  early '90s. We're there now. Fuck. No,
• 1:16:56
  really? Oh dude, you got to get into the '90s scene,
• 1:16:59
  dude. The '90s were a fucking great decade for movies. Oh, see,
• 1:17:02
  Melissa said Richard Gere is fine as fuck. Yeah, really?
• 1:17:05
  Yeah, really? Yeah, I never got it. Well, I clearly— he's handsome.
• 1:17:08
  He won Sexiest Man Alive twice, but like each time he won it,
• 1:17:12
  I was just like, really? Yeah, like, I, I think
• 1:17:16
  no. Wild, really?
• 1:17:20
  Runaway Bride? Nothing? He's never seen—
• 1:17:24
  oh, fuck that. Runaway Bride's a jam. Get the fuck out of here. That was
• 1:17:27
  like fucking— wait, there is a woman that's on— that should
• 1:17:31
  be on everyone's forever celebrity list. Um, who? Oh, Julia Roberts.
• 1:17:35
  Fuck yeah. So the most beautiful smile that's ever existed in the history of planet
• 1:17:39
  Earth. Julia Roberts right now is one of the most beautiful people. I agree,
• 1:17:42
  but like Notting Hill. Yeah, no, I think most beautiful
• 1:17:47
  woman ever lived. See, that's a perfect example of someone who, like, if she had
• 1:17:49
  been around now, would she have Instagram face? Like, oh, I don't know, you know
• 1:17:53
  what I mean? Like, would we, would we have ruined all of these faces?
• 1:17:58
  So I'm looking at, like, oh, uh, the People Sexiest Man Alive. I'm trying to
• 1:18:01
  see if any— do you know what Harrison Ford looks like, Mocha? Yes,
• 1:18:06
  I know. I think Harrison Ford's very attractive, huh?
• 1:18:09
  I don't know, like, I think he's very attractive. Yeah, young Harrison Ford.
• 1:18:13
  I mean, not now. I'm— he's a little old for me now. Yeah, but he
• 1:18:17
  still looks pretty good. He does actually still look— I mean, let's be real clear,
• 1:18:20
  if you're gonna be 80, I'd like to look like that when I'm 80.
• 1:18:22
  No, that's fair. Fuck me. Do you— okay, wait, I'm gonna try
• 1:18:26
  to see if there's another one on here that— Mocha, do you know what,
• 1:18:29
  um, do you know what Nick Nolte looked like when he
• 1:18:33
  was young? Jesus Christ, he was handsome. Do you know, do you know who Nick
• 1:18:36
  Nolte is? It did not age well. Come on, you've seen 48 Hours, right?
• 1:18:40
  Yeah. Fuck, Mocha,
• 1:18:44
  you live in an industry town, bud. Okay, but how—
• 1:18:47
  Pierce Brosnan? Yes. Okay, thank you. Well, come on, he was James
• 1:18:50
  Bond. Okay, he's— no one's ever been
• 1:18:54
  better as James Bond. Oh boy, I disagree, but I do appreciate that call.
• 1:18:58
  It's controversial, but I do love him as James Bond. No, no, he was— no,
• 1:19:01
  he was— yeah, he— it's also about what era you are. You first— no,
• 1:19:05
  no, he was, um, the first one. Now here's
• 1:19:09
  the thing, Pierce Brosnan's James Bond, he, he was really— his
• 1:19:13
  series of movies was a very disservice to how good he really was.
• 1:19:16
  Um, that being said, GoldenEye is maybe top 3 best Bond
• 1:19:20
  movie ever made. It's, it's that good, dude. When this— I like Roger Moore a
• 1:19:24
  lot. Oh, I hate you now. You, you're, you are now my lead. Roger Moore
• 1:19:27
  is dog shit, dude. All right, Roger Moore is the bottom of the barrel.
• 1:19:30
  We're not bottom of the barrel. How dare you? Very bottom
• 1:19:34
  of the barrel. Except for, except for The Spy Who Loved Me. That's a fucking
• 1:19:36
  classic. The rest of them— you just said, you said it was the bottom of
• 1:19:39
  the barrel. It was the best of the worst of his movies. Yes.
• 1:19:43
  Okay, well, I think we can all agree that the worst people Sexiest Man Alive
• 1:19:46
  ever was Blake Shelton. Oh my God, that's such a miss. That was
• 1:19:50
  not a good one. Him or fucking Maroon 5. Was Adam Levine
• 1:19:54
  also— Adam Levine was also also Sexiest Man Alive. That's a tough
• 1:19:58
  one. And he's getting fucked. And John Legend. Oh,
• 1:20:01
  they were just doing voice judges, doing the voice judges. But by the way,
• 1:20:05
  dude, Adam Levine's doing it. Adam Levine's doing it.
• 1:20:09
  Same shit. He has an Adam Levine mask on. Oh dude,
• 1:20:12
  you're right. Stop it, please stop it. You're right. Um, all right, here's my,
• 1:20:15
  uh, here's the hill I'm dying on, and it goes back a little bit to
• 1:20:19
  the fake tough guys thing, okay, that we did a couple weeks ago. Okay.
• 1:20:23
  Um, say something, UFC fans. You came
• 1:20:27
  after me in droves because I told you you were about to be frauded and
• 1:20:31
  defrauded by your fucking savior coming back to save the UFC. Say something now.
• 1:20:35
  I noticed everybody shut the living fuck up about everything
• 1:20:39
  that I had to say about Conor McGregor when Conor McGregor went out there
• 1:20:42
  and stole your money. I, I think there should be massive
• 1:20:46
  investigations. I think Uh, all the sportsbooks made so much
• 1:20:50
  money. There is video of him going into a wellness clinic 4 days before
• 1:20:54
  this even happened with a limp on the knee that wasn't injured.
• 1:20:58
  Just saying. Um, I think Conor McGregor belongs behind
• 1:21:01
  bars, but at the very least does not belong on my fucking TV,
• 1:21:04
  doesn't belong in the voices and lips and minds of
• 1:21:08
  anybody on any civilized planet. The fact that
• 1:21:11
  the UFC was so fucking desperate
• 1:21:15
  So fucking desperate to get some sort of ratings win because they decided to align
• 1:21:18
  themselves with political parties, even though they want to sit around talking about
• 1:21:22
  how they're not a political organization of any kind, thus basically
• 1:21:26
  kind of alienating a solid 70% of their own thing.
• 1:21:30
  Well, let's get some nostalgia in here. Let's get a fight that we actually had
• 1:21:34
  in 2013 with a guy who just
• 1:21:38
  got accused of taking PEDs. PEDs with a Dr. Elliot while being, uh,
• 1:21:41
  observed by Dr. Elitroge, something that was so important that Major
• 1:21:45
  League Baseball had to actually investigate it themselves because Dr.
• 1:21:48
  Elitroge also works with Major League Baseball players. This was an actual
• 1:21:52
  problem. So now you have a PED thing connected to your thing, you have a
• 1:21:56
  guy who has been in and out of multiple rehabs with a lot of drug
• 1:21:58
  offenses, you have an actual rape offense on
• 1:22:03
  the books. What the fuck is wrong
• 1:22:06
  with all you guys? And I sat here with a straight face and told you
• 1:22:10
  you're getting grifted. This is a joke, way out of his prime. What the fuck
• 1:22:13
  is even this happening? And then it actually happened within 3
• 1:22:17
  fucking minutes, and all of you didn't say a fucking word.
• 1:22:21
  Say something. You're so fucking tough about your fucking savior
• 1:22:24
  in this not-at-all joke of an organization. Say something.
• 1:22:28
  Where you at? All real fucking quiet, aren't you?
• 1:22:31
  Aren't you? Fucking jokes. The UFC is a
• 1:22:35
  joke, and all of its fans, sadly the
• 1:22:39
  ones that are still there, were grifted right out of their fucking
• 1:22:42
  money by their hero. Fucking beautiful.
• 1:22:45
  You fucking get exactly what you pay for. You fucking want snake
• 1:22:49
  oil? Well, they got all the snake oil possible.
• 1:22:52
  Have fun. Enjoy your fucking clown shit. I'm really glad
• 1:22:57
  you got that off your chest. I feel a lot better now. You're dying on
• 1:23:00
  the hill that you're never gonna be wrong about Conor McGregor and UFC fans getting
• 1:23:03
  grifted. And I genuinely agree completely. I think they're the worst fucking
• 1:23:08
  fans on planet Earth. They are the worst fans of anything on the planet.
• 1:23:11
  Sophie Cunningham, dude, she's such a fucking clown.
• 1:23:15
  She is such a clown. You know who else is a clown? Who's that?
• 1:23:21
  I think you know. Curt Schilling. Curt Schilling is a clown. But,
• 1:23:25
  but here's the thing though, unlike, unlike Conor
• 1:23:29
  McGregor and Sophie Cunningham did actually deliver an iconic postseason performance,
• 1:23:34
  right? He had a very good game that he pitched.
• 1:23:38
  All right. Do you, do you think we— we don't have time to talk about
• 1:23:40
  it, huh? Because we went full— he pitched a very good game. We went full
• 1:23:43
  show today. He did have a— other people have pitched good games too.
• 1:23:46
  You know, you know what? You're right. But we do have to talk about
• 1:23:50
  the bloody sock at some point. It's not real. It's not going to happen today.
• 1:23:53
  Maybe. Hey, maybe while we're gone, while I'm in Boston,
• 1:23:56
  Maybe we'll do Bloody Sock Vibes. Well, you are going to be in Boston.
• 1:23:58
  Maybe, maybe you'll feel that grift grabbing you yet again.
• 1:24:02
  Either way, I don't care whether I'm here in Boston. It's forever and
• 1:24:06
  always. Fuck Kurt Schilling. Fuck Kurt Schilling. We're the Regulars. Like, share,
• 1:24:09
