We're your host. I'm G. Spark. I'm Kelsey. Yes. And I'm back. Kelsey back in the seat on tour. That's right.

But coming up, Spain may have the trophy, but we're going to name the real winners and losers of this year's World Cup. We'll discuss if LeBron signing with the 76ers was the right decision. We're going to share some incredible almost sports with you all. And later we're going to judge some amazing fan fails. That's right. You submitted your almost athlete moments and the twins stopped by with Sparky to score them. But first, Kelsey's,

he's here to talk tour and we're going to share some exclusive behind the scenes footage. Let's go. My bagel bite footage got out? We're taping this live from Indianapolis, Minnesota. Timberwolves, home of the Timberwolves. Is this the visitor locker room?

Yes. Is it? Yes, we're in a visitor locker room. No wonder we have such a horrible record. I understand it now. Golly, they bought these things from IKEA. No offense to IKEA, if we're looking a brand deal, by the way.

I had no idea. But we are delirious. I'm just going to be straight up. It's show five. We've only done one leg of five one time before. So like zero sleep for four nights. We're going home tonight, though. But we just thought it'd be fun to knock out a podcast, talk a little sport, talk a little tour.

That's why Kelsey's in the house. Yeah. Explain to the people and maybe even Sparky. what you do on tour. I got me eye drops today. I did. I had eye fatigue. That's such a good play, Kells, thanks.

Yes, they're looking better. You're really good at your job. Thank you. What else does it entail? There's a lot of stuff. I would essentially say I'm one of the road managers for dudes, Sparky, Jackson,

and our opposing team that we have this year. A little bit different than last year when we didn't really have a second, like, supporting artist team like we do. Right. That's a lot of people to keep up with.

It is. And Cody's like three people. one to keep up with. And Jackson sometimes, I mean, he'd lose his head if it wasn't attached. That's true. But yeah. So between that, we pick a couple kids for the show. Sparky gets to interact with those.

Yes. Great job, by the way. I mean, picking the kids. You never know. You never know. Most recent one was good. Oh, very good. Yeah.

I think the fact, it's like umpiring. The fact that nobody has brought up, you know, the lack of pop in the kids or personality speaks to your ability to pick out the right kiddos. Thanks, guys. It had been great. I got five more chances to choose. Six more. We got one tonight and five.

Yes. Next week. Kels, how excited are you to go home, Sunshine State next week? I'm so excited. We have two shows back in Florida. My parents get to come to the last one. So they got to see last year's tour, but as you guys know, this tour is so much different. It is very different.

Favorite moments? Oh, the worship tie's been doing at the end. has been amazing. And then, of course, go-kart soccer is just electric because the fans get so into it. We all do. We all do, yes.

Especially the competitors. I'm looking at you in St. Chang. That guy is a problem. We love him, but he doesn't know how to drive. You kind of just get in the mindset of like, just go. Bumper cars. He doesn't know where the brake is. I know that.

I don't know if he can reach the brake. Oh, is that the issue? I think I thought it was because he's wearing shades at an indoor. venue last night was probably not the best idea. If there's the best moments, there's the worst moments. Any of those? You don't go to hotels. Some people think you fly in, get to a hotel, get to rest up, but we go literally out of the venue, leave that night, try to sleep on a tour bus. I think it's the lack of rim sleep. Well, you have to try to attempt to sleep while your subconscious thoughts are thinking

about your life being in the hands of the driver. And we love our driver. Shout out, Jackie. What a Tremendous man. There was a funny moment on the bus the other day, but can I share that? I don't know. I think we can share it if it's a PG version. Yeah, PG version. Pretty much. Got up in the middle of night.

It was like 4.30, 5 a.m. And Bagel Bites was feeling. I knew I wasn't going to bed, and I needed something in my tummy to help me go to bed. And so I'm like, surely, everybody's asleep. At this point in the night, I'm just socks and undies. And I go, pull open a nine-sleever of beef. bites, throw 2.32 on the clock, and all of a sudden our bus

driver comes and gets a coffee, and it was just an awkward moment. Jackie looked at me anymore. I don't think you were wearing Andes, I wasn't. I had that to the story, but I was wearing socks. Ty thought it was absolutely diabolical. The vents, the vents hit your feet though. Yeah, do you wear socks to sleep at home?

Or just on the bus? I do. That's kind of crazy. It's one of my guilty pleasures. My flangees, is that what they're old? It gets cold easily. My little piggies? toes? Yeah, I got it. You don't sleep with socks?

No. The only time I've ever done that is like it was freezing in Texas. And I don't know why I could not get warm. Other than that, no. Yeah, I actually probably do sleep with socks when I have the flu. Try to break it. But you're also just like so cold. Yeah.

I think our record right now is 13 and 3. Oh, you knew it. Oh, yeah. Two from the Creator Squad. And then one from the bananas. And unfortunately, the queen is paying for what the king did. Zach King beat us in Dallas. And we said, no, no royalty here.

And the queen, unfortunately, I bet she's got one more chance tonight. That's right. One more. Yeah, but tours a ton of fun. It does. I think my favorite part of tour is just like getting to see the, yeah, just like the impact. Sure. Because it is hard to like sit in an office all day.

And, you know, you're not really, you're making, content, but you're like, why am I, you know, what are we doing here? Yeah. Right. It honestly reminds me, it like takes me back to college a little bit where it's like, you're not really like in real life and you're just hanging out with friends and still working really hard. Oh, yes.

Oh, for sure. I mean, I had to, I had to work in college. I don't know about you guys, but. I did. Yeah. Work strong. I put in work in college, but it was still fun. Okay.

So it's just kind of like, it's kind of like a little bit of like, like mixed reality. Like you're not, you just kind of live into this like la la land. City to city. Our wives are grinding back at home. You know,

keeping the house and the kids. Or husband. My Xbox is so mad. Or husband. I haven't turned on my Xbox in six days. She gets angry about that. True though. I know she does.

Should we move on to sports? Yeah. As long as Kelsey stays. Sure. Yeah. Let's talk. Yeah. I love it.

Now that the World Cup is over, let's take one final look at who the real winners and losers were, this segment is brought to you by Facebook. Find more than what you're looking for. That's good. Because you might go to Facebook to get a random poke. Yeah, it's back.

The marketplace. Watch out. I get lost on that marketplace. Highlights of the World Cup. That's why I use it. But you can find anything. The pokes are back. The pokes are back.

The pokes are back. So you can go and poke someone on Facebook again. You didn't know this. No. Yeah. I just got poked by someone on tour. They were like, hey, did you know I could poke you on Facebook? They're back.

What is the ultimate goal of a poke? I don't know. But now that we're talking about this, we forgot to talk about Jackson on tour. What happened? Specifically, you know, I'm going to go back real quick and then we'll hit soccer. Okay. Jackson, you know, he really is just, he just, I don't know if it's the lack of creativity. He is young, but he only talks about how old we are.

Yeah. A little bit of arthritis jokes. Like it's just, and it doesn't bother me. I'm like, yeah, dude, I mean, I'm old, but I'm still winning. You embrace it. I think it really gets under tie skin occasionally, but yeah, he is. He is doing that a lot, isn't he? Speaking of somewhat old, similar to your age, but still incredible would be the Cape Verde

goalie. Oh, nice. I see what you did there. He's actually older than me. I mean, 40. It's that's one year way. It's coming. But that makes me believe in Gary.

That is older. Messy is a better. is a better comparison. Maybe you haven't peaked yet. At 40, you might be like one of the world's best goalkeepers. That guy played so good. I think it's fair to say he's one of the real winners. I think he got paid too, if I'm not mistaken.

Are we talking about messy or are we talking about the goalkeeper? Well, both of our winners, but mainly the goalie. Yeah. The goalie changed his life because not only, what, he gained 20-something million. Insane. Absurd amount. So he's going to get sponsorship deals that are huge. And then I think he's signed it with a new team this year.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. I think you got like a big old paid out. went from like minimum wage to a big boy. So that's a winner of the World Cup. What else we got? I mean, everyone that came to America experienced America greats like Buckees or ranch, especially if they came to the Arlington games.

Yes. I did love like Erling Hollins like just trying on. Yeah, all of the Texas. Cowboy hats and boots and, uh. They wanted to be an American so bad. I think he not. I think he wants to be a Texan. Texan.

Did you see the raccoon, like, taxidermy thing that he brought off the plane with him? He brought it back to Norway with him, I think he bought a taxidermy raccoon and brought it back with him. Incredible. He loved America. Yeah, I think Garrett's onto it. America loved him. I honestly, I kind of wanted to go to a Norway game just to do like the row. The row.

Yeah. Yeah, that is pretty cool. It is cool. The Viking Roe is pretty sweet. Yeah. I don't like, though, when other nations. start taking people's chance and stuff. What did they do?

I saw an MLS club already rowing and doing it. And it's like, hey, have a little respect, you know? Have you guys done any research on Norway? I know it's beautiful. I've done Google Images. Yeah. I've looked at cruising there. Like the crime rate's like non-existent, like some crazy stats.

Norway, real winner of the World Cup, though, they didn't win. That's good. I like a safe environment. That's good. Also the Japanese When they visited In Arlington Might be the nicest people in the world

The Japanese I was going to say the fact that they cleaned up the stadiums That they were in after Nikes, nicest people in the world's works Yeah, it might be strong They're up there They're up there They're near the top of the list

Shakira Yes Oh, the J.B Halftime Performance With the Ted Lasso Reference I mean I love Ted Lasso That was a good

That's a mixed one though A lot of people would put that under the loser category. Why? People thought it was too raw. It was too slow. Really? Yeah. But I loved it, but I think a lot of people did not like J.B.

But I thought he showed his raw talent. I thought that some people thought it was better than the Super Bowl halftime show. You're saying like the variance. Do what he usually does? Like Jonah Hill and Moneyball? Because he wasn't like in a comedy role. Step out of his... Is that what you're kind of saying?

Well, he's saying everything, Hallelujah. So it's just a slower song. And it was just him and his acoustic. It won the band. Have we asked him to lead worship at the end of a tour show? Dude, that'd be sick. I feel like he needs to be doing near the top of the list. Yeah, that would be so cool.

That has been a really cool part. And then I would say another winner was that Freddie, dude. I don't think. I don't think I know of Freddie. The Freddie from Germany? You don't know Freddie from Germany? No. What did he do?

He did everything. He did everything. He's accomplished more American things than you have. Yeah. He went to the Grand Canyon. I think he literally did everything. Wow. Shout out Freddie from Germany.

He like the JJ Watt guy and then the guy who got flown on a private American flight. No. He went to the L. Langley concert and went backstage. Wow, he really has done everything more American than I. He blew up almost as much as the Cape Verde goalie. Huh. Viral stuff. I think he probably, yeah, he's more American than I am now.

Wait, that's not Freddie, though. That's Ronaldo. No, this is Freddie. No, but the profile picture. He likes to stay hidden. Okay. Smart because I think he's out staying his visa. Oh, he put together his best moments.

Did he? We have a best of Freddie clip. Currently. Oh, might take a while, but he's going to put together a slideshow. Sick. Of over a thousand photos and videos, I'll have to watch. I'm telling you, this guy, this guy is, this guy took advantage and it was unbelievable. Kind of like us in Germany.

But I think he enjoyed America more than we enjoyed Germany on that trip. For sure. For sure, for sure. What about losers? U.S. soccer team. Everything else in the United States was a winner except for the soccer team. I just didn't like the way it ended.

It was a sad end to what could have been a good story. It was a lovely rom-com that was developed. VAR was a loser. Yeah, I like that, Calgary. VAR did have some sketchy things happen. It's just if you're going to draw the line, draw the line on every play. That's even somewhat close.

I also hate the fact that we made it like an American sport and did hydration breaks. I know. See, that was a FIFA instituted thing. It wasn't. Was it not? I don't think it was. I don't think that it was everything to do with America and their. And wanting to advertise. Yeah. It's definitely because they wanted to put ads on. But I think that a true losing thing was for our boy, Adam, mate. Yeah. Big England guy actually went to several games, traveled to, like, Mexico. And yeah, he was there during the loss. See you doing okay? I don't know. I couldn't text. I couldn't bring it. He did. He did. Yeah, oh, he's fine now. Proof of life. We do have proof of life.

He's still alive. Barely breathing, but still alive. Good kid. There's always four years from now. Astro turf on the list. That's a loser. Yeah. Real grass, man.

Because they had to pull up the astroturf for the real grass. And they should keep real grass. I agree. Real grass is, it's a living thing. Isn't there a thing in soccer where people are like trying to mess up the grass before someone? Yeah, the PK. And it happened in what game was that? We'll scuff up the spot.

I call that bad sportsmanship. Do you agree? It's so in the line. I've done some dirty things in my day when it comes to sport. I'm not the cleanest. But dirty would be poor sportsmanship. Where do you draw the line? What about like fake helping somebody up from the other team and then pulling your hand back?

Yeah, that's bad sportsmanship. Okay, oops. Football is life. It is life. And I love how short their off seasons are. We get the prim back in what? Like a week? August 21st.

When are we going? We missed last year. We didn't go over there. Yeah, I've already talked to Alan and, dude, we're going to have a fun trip. We're going to go watch some Burnley games. We're going to go over to Liga. And look, I'm going to see Lilliga with my own eyes because I got blasted on that take saying Lilliga was overrated. Well, props to you for going and seeing it firsthand to really get a good perspective.

Yeah, let me go see it real life how different it is. Yeah, we need to have some like Freddie levels of fun next year on the soccer trip. Should we take advantage and just start tweeting out of a trip and be like, dude, take us somebody. Take us this way. And don't worry, Cody's not coming with us. A bucket list video is like you do what Freddie did. Yes. That's actually a brilliant idea.

You heard it here first, folks. Go to a country and then try to make the best video possible by just like. Being like everything the country enjoys. The top five soccer leagues bucket list. And we hit like La Liga, Siri. EPL. Who else would be in the top five, you think? Not MLS, unfortunately.

I hope MLS benefits off this. Top five? Yeah. Bundish Liga? No, I didn't say Bundish Liga. They're definitely in top five. You got to say Bundish Liga. Bundish Liga.

Thank you. Oh, that's good. Yeah, see, I think you got a little German in you. I am German. Oh, are you? I have no idea. Oh. I actually don't know my roots anymore.

It's a long story. I'll get into it one day. On almost athletes, because I would love to know some of my background. We should like Ancestry.com episode. Did we just figure out Dude, I thought those things were frauds. I was going to say, is that real? I think that people are scamming you.

They debunked? Yeah, because I had a buddy like they said Thomas Jefferson was his great-great-uncle or something. I was like, dude, this guy does it. The one thing I know about me that I like is for real, for real, from my mom's side is William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison

are relatives of mine. Wow. Do you think they would claim you? You know that for a fact. For a fact. Okay. Do you think if you were back then, and they were now they would claim you?

Like you just claimed them? Well, they're president, so. Yeah, but you're also highly successful. I hope they would claim a president. Entertainer. Yeah, yeah. Are you announcing something for 2028? Whoa.

Chief of Press? I will say, I can make a compelling campaign. I might do it for a pod one day. Really? Just tell you, just kind of campaign to the people of how I would campaign. Yeah, what is your platform? I'm not going to. run on a traditional platform.

Just Facebook live. You're saying. And you can poke everybody in the world. There might be serenuous work, but you can low budget, you know. But let me say this, you're only as good as your running mate. Have you thought about that? But I would just get back to being American. Yeah.

No, vice president? Oh, you have to have a vice president. I mean, you have to have help. It's a big job. But like, I'll get back to just be an American, man. I feel like we're too divided. I feel like we're having our own world. Cup just in politics, man. Yeah, I think we help bridge that gap.

Yeah. Dude, if we, if, if the kids knew how the 90s were, 90s were great. Now, is the 90s the best era of all time? Oh yeah, from music to television, like prime Disney animation. To people to prime like country, R&B. I lived it for nearly three years. You were 97? Yeah. But at least you can claim it. That's right. Absolutely. I just feel like the 90s, The 90s are going to be talked about. They're going to be in the history book of like, is this the greatest generation? Yeah, you're probably right.

It's crazy to think, like when I think 90s, my whole life, I've been like, that's not that long ago. And now it's like, woo. Who do you think it's most likely to make it as 2090? 2090 out of us? I would be 99. I will not be here in 2090.

No. I'm going to guess. I'm going to guess Kelsey. Because she's the most healthy. Well, she's female and she's youngest. Whoa. It's female. Oh, statistics say life expectancy.

Can you fact check that? As long as I... Life expectancy of a U.S. woman. Have my sight and I can hear people. I feel like that's not bad. I feel like we're doing tour shows still in 29. Dude, squad games tour when we're 88. You guys would be doing go-kart soccer,

but in your like scooters. That would be fun. I would pay to watch that. U.S. women live approximately 4.9 years longer than U.S. men on average. So you, according to this, we're all going to be dead. Yeah, because life expectancy here says 81.5 years for women, 76 and a half for men.

That's a record. You know, it's something I can't wrap my mind around. I mean, I know no day is guaranteed. Sure. But, man, can we just talk about what is middle-aged, by the way? I agree, but, but like, am I middle-aged all the way through 55? Because I got some friends around 50 that keep saying middle-aged. And I'm just like, but you're not.

not, dude. I don't think you'll live to 100, so that's not middle. Your middle age. What do you call yourself when you've surpassed middle age? It lasts till 65? What does? That doesn't make any sense. Middle age is going from 40 to 65. Yeah, I've never thought of it as like literal middle age, so you said that. Yeah. What did you think of it as? I don't know. I just, I was kind of on that same thing of like 40 to 65. I think it was exactly what I was going to use. So what are people who are 66 and older? Old. Seniors. Seniors. Got it. Yep. Senior citizens. You might be there.

Put some respect on them, J.B. Okay, Jackson. Do you, I feel like you sign yourself up for the home later in life. You don't only need, like, kids like, hey, dad, it's time to go home. I think when all my kids graduate, probably college, let's go college, get lives and wives and husbands, husband. I only have one daughter. I think me and Crystal will probably just go straight to retirement community. They're going to make reservations.

I bet. Wait, would you do a retirement community, or would you, like, go international and just live somewhere, like, a beach home? Depend on grandkids. Do you know what's funny? But I would love to go international. Like, just live in Punta Brava?

No, live in Italy. Oh, that's true. That's true. I mean, guys, I, look, give me three more years because, do a lingo, man. It just, I can read it and I can listen to it, but boy, I can not speak it. He's on a 1,300-day street?

It's, like, close to it. 12. Let's look. Yeah. I don't want to lie to the peeps here. He also is pretty good at French if you haven't seen that real. 1248. That's good.

Give us a line. 1248. Kelsey, don't put me on the spot, dude. I just said like, I just said like... Say hi, how are you? Oh, like... Chow! That's all?

Well, Chow's like, hi, and then it's like... Yeah, how would you ask me? Like, how are you? Um, my gosh, man. I'm really tired for this. He's not ready for Italy. He's not ready. And that's why I stick to one language, English.

Oh, yeah, comestai. And then you would say, you'd be like, bene, you know, et tu, bene is just like okay. And then you say, gratsy for a thank you, right? I say gratiae, but uh, but grazi works. Or riverdierechi. Oh, riveteria. That's goodbye. Everdee say?

But again, I can read a dictionary or read anything Italian. I can read like under I can literally read a book in Italian I just can't speak it makes sense you like Italian food too Oh it's best food in the world Yeah man Mr. We did just have the best catering What was that other day? Olive Garden

Oh yeah I mean OG is OG All right well we've got some more sports talk to come Along with a look at some World Cup inspired almost sports We'll check those out right after this break Almost The tour is going to be over in a few weeks and then it's almost time for the kids to go back to school. I loved going back to school because of the shopping before high school and college,

hoping that mom would get me some kind of little gift. Me too, whether it was a video game, music, or just something cool for the dorm room. The start of a new school year is a major milestone in every student's journey is unique. Apple gift card is the perfect solution for busy parents and family members because it fits any budget and takes the guesswork out of gifting. Man, I would have loved to get that when I was in high school or college. What would you have used it on? Definitely buying some music.

I need music for every activity. Studying music. Workout music. Running late to class music. Unfortunately, you're not going back to school, but you can give it to a loved one. Whether they need new AirPods to stay focused during study sessions, extra iCloud plus storage for their new school projects,

or an Apple music subscription to unwind after classes, Apple gift card gives them the invaluable chance to choose the tools and entertainment that suit them best.

Visit applegiftcard.apple.com to gift one today. Today's episode is sponsored by Facebook. And this one's actually kind of perfect for us.

It's been crazy to see how many people are using Facebook to actually get out there. The other day, I found a great pickup basketball game. You can log on, search groups in your city, and find a league near you. Wait, you can find groups that have pickup leagues on here? Dude, all kinds. I found one local basketball Facebook group near me that's specifically into trick shots. That's wild. It made me realize I need to practice even more.

So I found a hoop on marketplace that a neighbor was selling, barely used, and I had it up two hours later. This sounds dangerous for me. I'd go on for a hoop and end up buying a whole math setup. You say that like you haven't. Didn't you find a dirk throwback on there? I found the jersey and the shoes and then like 17 compilations of his fadeaway on reels. so that killed an afternoon.

Quick announcement before we jump into more sports. Back to school merch just dropped on dudeperfect. Dot store. Go get geared up for Back to School. We don't want to think about it. I know, but better show up day one, rep in DP. Actually, I do love the merch drop.

It looks awesome. For Back to School. It's great. And we did just do a collab with Unreal. Yes. I'm so excited about that. Which is also kind of, I have some sick hoodies and stuff. You're wearing Unreal right now.

Yeah, it's not the DP, though. I didn't even, I got to go to Shields to pick it up. Is that way? I was about to ask what retailers. Shields? Exclusively? Yeah. When it makes sense, they're up here in Minnesota.

We're finding out about this while I'm in Minnesota. You can get it online, but if you want instant gratification, you got to drive to a Shields. Yeah. Which is easy for me. It's driving away from a Shields. stuff. I know. That is true. We got almost sports coming up, but should we hit LeBron? Yeah, you have to.

We have to. What'd you think? Now streaming on Disney Plus, the Hulu original series Furious follows FBI Agent Alice Black, played by Emmy Rossum, on the hunt for a mysterious and calculating serial killer. Both walk their own paths toward justice, and as their lives start to intertwine,

the line between right and wrong begins to blur. New episodes week over week Watch the Hulu original series Furious Now streaming only on Hulu on Disney Plus 76ers It's interesting But it's the right move I think

I don't know LeBron personally It just feels like the right fit Dude I think he did it for golf I thought he joined dude perfect Really? Yeah that post was confusing Because I got kind of I thought he did maybe too Yeah He still could he could rep two jobs

We could probably pay more than two years eight mill. We give a lot of PTO off so like in game days he can just take off. Well, he's a big golfer too, so he's going to have to use some PTO there. I think that's why he joined Philly. It's not for the wind. It's an incredible golf state. It's for the golf. The Northeast is loaded.

And to jump the wait list, I know he's already LeBron James probably could, but dude, if you're playing for hometown team Philly, those owners of those clubs are going to bump you up those wait lists and those golf courses. That's a good point. But you are risking the fact that Philly sports fans will turn on you quicker than a waffle house pancake. I think it's actually kind of cool that he's not like going and making Philly pay him like $65 million a year. That told me everything I needed to know in terms of like what he prioritized most. He actually doesn't. He cares about winning.

And do you think he plays out the two-year contract and that's it? If they win this year, no, he's done. Do you think that he should have retired already? I mean, he had a great year last year. Yeah. I wouldn't say like he doesn't like have anything left in the tank because that's just not true. Like I definitely think he has a lot left in the tank. But man, like props to that guy.

Because if I was him and just caught the golf bug and had that kind of money, I'm out, dude. I'm playing golf the rest of my life. Sure. He was close. You could tell he was headed to the first tee box before deciding to play. When my boy, J.R. and him were over in France. just celebrating that 2016. I didn't think they were ever coming home.

Yeah. Almost text J.R. I was like, dude. Dude, bring Braun back. Yeah, like, dude. I do like him in Philly from a basketball standpoint. Does he instantly come like Philly's most recognizable person? Like.

Fresh Prince of Bel Air. So they up there. You're kidding, right? Invincible. You're kidding. Rocky? Philly. Most, most recognizable basketball player?

Would be Dr. J. No. Alan Iverson. No. It would be... Kobe Bryant. Sure. Yeah, lower Marion high.

I forgot about that. Yeah. Philly, I don't want to give them too much credit because I cannot stand the Eagles. I love the greats, but man, I mean, Philly, if you're not putting Kobe Bryant, the hometown kid at number one, you're wrong. You know who they do put at number one, though, actually. It tells you everything you need to know about Philly. A fictional character. Rocky.

It's not even real. It makes me mad. In the Liberty Bell. Hey, this isn't taking show. This isn't taking shots at the Philly fans. I am. I'm not fond of them. I do think they come out of the East this year.

And I do, I thought the Knicks were going to get swept by any of those teams and they ended up winning. So who knows? If they make it out, it's going to be between the Spurs and OKC and. I think the balance of power, like East West, that helped a lot. I think the East was trailing the OKC's in Spurs a little bit. They got nasty. So they got Maxie? Yep.

Brown. Jail them Brown. LeBron. Embeddeedged comb. Who else did they add? Is there- Such a thing as too much talent in one spot? Oh, 100%.

It's gotta coexist. I'm a firm believer in like it has to coexist and people have to be unselfish. That's why I don't know if it works in Minnesota with Lamello and Anthony Edwards. They're both way up there in usage. I think that's why it made so much sense is that Jalen Brown's shown that he can be

either Batman or Robin. And then Joelle Embed is not going to dominate the basketball as much. as much, you know, so that's why I thought it made a ton of sense for Bron. And the golf, to Garrett's Point, man, it's a heck of a golf place. I mean, Pine Valley, Trout National, Marion, Philly Cricket Club, Aronimic. Hang on, did I just put this together? Trout is a Philly president. Yeah, if Trout's a Philly guy.

Is Trout National his golf course? Yeah, dude, he designed it. I didn't even know that. That's so bad. Yeah, Tiger Woods did it. I just put that together. brand new dude brand new it looks spectacular but when do we get Hilbert national created by tiger that'd be sick

and where would you put it where would I put it that's such a great question because everyone goes for the for the natural sand dune because it's the best place to like play golf so I feel like that would just be jumping on a bandwagon where would I put it I would put it along the coast somewhere of Italy coast of Italy sure let's go coast of Italy

I was thinking like a New Hampshire Or Spain Or New Hampshire I don't have much going for them man Nobody ever talks about them Should we get into the Almost athletes One last thing

What's your early prediction Way too early prediction For LeBron Oh I think they make it I told Make it or win it No just make it And losing the finals

I said that about the Knicks So like But I just I think the I think the Spurs Are gonna come out of the West again I do think

them LUCC losing Dort. It's kind of hurt them. Yeah, I completely agree. And so I think, and Wimby, I think it's just going to get better and bigger. So you're saying Spurs, Sixers. Spurs, and I think the Spurs get it done. They have the experience now. They have experience. No, you're exactly right. Sometimes you have to fall in the finals.

I'm going to go Spurs to win the NBA next year. Way too early prediction. Okay. Over the Sixers. You guys did predict LeBron where he was going. Yeah, we did thank you, Jared. I don't want to say like I predicted it because like there was. We advised him, and I'm pretty sure that means he's an almost athlete fan.

So, LeBron, if you're watching, you're more than welcome to join both Dude Perfect and Almost Athletes. You know what? We'll come to you, Braun, and we'll play Marion East, Marion West. And he's just an Almost Athletes the whole time. He's going to want to lock in on his golf, though, too. We'll post around it. We also might start, should we start a Dude Perfect Golf Channel and then make him the face of it? I think that's up to them.

I think that's up to them. Would you like to see LeBron James to face of DP golf? Hey, dude, is a great pitcher. right now. It's like, hey, as we grow the channel, you finish out some rings in Philly. When that's done, you're going to need something to do. Face a DP golf. So he just appears here and there early in its tenure? Yes. We only need them for a couple videos a year right now. It's easy.

Okay. Actually, I have a follow-up question now before we head on to Almost Sports. Who lasts longer in the NBA? Brani or Braun at this point? From today? From today. That is a fantastic debate. I just thought of that. Thank you.

But what was Bronny's, not that it matters, but what was his contract terms? Four years, 7.8. Do you think that was a good father play? Do you think he did it on purpose? So it's fully guaranteed. So, yeah, no, he's going to last longer than his dad. Unless they just eat that eight million, which they could. It's only eight million.

Yeah, I think one of the most oppressive parts about LeBron in the, like, goat debate, is the longevity aspect, man. Like, the fact that this guy is his age. He's taken care of his body. He's avoided the big one. and I know he spends an absurd amount of time and money on his body. But I will say to give Brony credit, like, I mean, what I read is that the Lakers, regardless of the Bronn, like, wanted him as a piece. Do you think they said that because the contract became guaranteed?

I don't know, man. I think he did okay last year. I don't think he's as bad as. I've always said this. I thought Brani took too much heat. I do think he would have been much more well-rounded basketball player if he spent about two. more years at the college level. It felt early. It's just, it's unfair the expectations we put under great kids.

Like, I mean, Charlie Woods, he's a great golfer. But like, he has a bad round and we're like, this kid stinks. I'm like, bro, he's a, he's a kid. I can remember back in the day, like SportsCenter opening up with Marcus Jordan's game at UCF when he was, it's, it is unfair. It's so unfair. It's so unfair. And, you know. It's too much.

Let them be their own person. I agree. That's tough. You're living in the shadows of. but it's of greatness. Do you think your kids are going to be able to handle it? Mine, oh. They got nothing. Can they live in the purple hoser's shadow?

They got nothing. They're already better than their dad. You lived up to William Henry Harrison. No, that guy changed. That guy was good, good president. But yeah, Ty's kids, though, it's a lot of pressure, man. He's a good outdoorsman. Yeah. He's a great shot. That's why Jackson's under so much pressure. And that Ty's kid?

Oh, you're crazy, dude. All right. Final prediction? Spurs over 76ers. I'm going to say 76ers make the finals, but lose. No, give me actually 76ers to win over the Dallas fireworks. The Minnesota Timberwolves. Why not? All right. I like it.

Kelsey, I feel like if you're going to be here, you have to intro something. Let's go. Just take a deep breath. All right. Yeah, fairway. You're just trying to find a fairway. Go ahead. Sorry.

It's time for almost sports. This segment is brought to you by Apple Gift Card. The World Cup may be over, but I'll, Our producers claim that they found an almost sport to quench our soccer thirst. So coming to us from Russia, we got footbox combining football and boxing. So let's check out that clip, J.B. Great job. That was phenomenal.

That was actually, I actually kind of did too well. You're showing us up. Easy, though. I actually, I actually saw this clip, dude. This is unbelievable. Actually, this looks more like a combination of moitai. And soccer. That's a red card.

Look this little kid. Oh my gosh. Yeah, that's Moitai. That's not boxing because you can use your... Legs and... Yeah, they call it like your seven limbs. They're just scrapping. Like, nobody's going from the soccer ball at that point.

They were just throwing. I love the fact that this is just in Russia, dude. Oh, whatever. Should we bring this to America? I was not saying. We could bring it to the squad games tour next year. So I saw insane Shane who's on tour with us right now. He did a almost sport of

full pads of football but playing basketball. So going up for a layup and just form tackling the guy. That's good. Do you have pads to land on? No, no. You're just landing on the court. These guys went out of it. It's kind of like this.

So what do we think here? Is this an almost sport or just a sport in general? It's an almost sport. I don't see this flying. It's just another combination, right? Yeah, it's a combo play, which it's two really good sports combining into one solid sport. That kid's lethal. Oh, helmet came off.

Time out. Hey, ref, time. Helmet came off, dude. If you're their parent, you're like, all right, little Johnny, have fun today. Where are you going with the helmet and the... Would you allow your kids to play the sport? I mean, this builds character, no doubt. But boy, you're going to lose some brain cells during it, too.

But you're going to build character. I mean, dude, America at soccer, you can't even do a header till... Oh, that was two hands. I mean, you can't even do a... You can't even do a... You can't even use your head in soccer until like 14. These kids look like, some of them look like they're nine. You're also likely to jam a toe.

Oh, yeah. They're all bearful. Some are wearing no shoes and some are wearing shoes. I mean, this is just, there's no regulations in this sport. No, no, I don't think any of them are wearing shoes. Yeah. No, they're wearing the shin pads that have foot protection over there. Oh, there was a guy that tennis shoes.

Man. Yeah. I will say this is kind of refreshing in the sense that like the faken, injuries in soccer. You know, it's nice to see it right. This is a real injury. If you were falling to the ground, there's no flopping. I actually can't believe there's this many kids participating.

Yeah, that's, uh, that's a attraction. That's crazy. That's almost sport. Oh, what World Cup team would, uh, would this help the most? I would probably say like, um, Japan. Well, they're kind of small. That's what I'm saying. They're small.

They need to get a little bit more physical. Okay. And, you know, if they're going, if Holland's going up in the thing and they can just sucker punch him in the gut. Right. See, because the Japanese wouldn't do that. Okay. Does Thailand have a soccer team?

Yeah, they didn't make the World Cup. Yeah, but maybe they could make the World Cup if they got to do their Maiti in the World Cup with soccer. That's actually really good. Well, guys, it looks like it was my last week on the podcast. Yeah, because you're making really good points right now. Same vein, Brazilians for the Jujizu. Yeah. And just the Americans, because they're red-blooded Americans.

We know how to scrap when our backs against the wall. Or Argentina already kind of plays dirty, so. Oh, yeah, that's true. Wow. They already were playing footbox. It's an almost sport. No helmets and pads, though. It's an almost sport.

All right. Bubble soccer. Oh. Yeah. Oh, yeah. This is fun. This is fun. We should play this as like a team bonding at the office.

This seems exciting. Yeah, it's, yeah, this is to get dangerous. So you do not want to go up against Ty. you just would get decleted. But speaking of decletes, he's been bumper decleted. Remember when AO put a tie on his rear end? You don't see that much. But yeah, dude, I could see a accountant Amy running down the sideline and just getting

pummeled over the pads. That's good. See, I would be more inclined to do bubble soccer than I would the one before. The one before, you're right. This just feels like... This feels fun. The other one just seems like a way to get your aggression out. Yes, I would let my kids do this all the time.

Sure, for sure. Mandatory, actually. All right, next up is kind of the same thing. We got one more. Whoever invented bubble soccer might have invented this one, bumper basketball, which is, again, the same apparatus? Is that what you would say? Same.

Same gear. Oh, this is going to be tough. How do you grab the ball? There's going to be so many dribble violations. He's trying to catch it. Oh, no way. He makes this. No.

Is that a travel? He's running with it. It's okay. Lay them out. It's the NBA. You get nine steps. Great. Cleared.

Perfect. Yeah, I think your bumpers need a little modifications, maybe a little hands out. So here's how I think this would be better is if the, yeah, bumpers were a little bit smaller, but you wear a helmet. Or if you just had armholes for the bumper and then you just called your arms on. Or if you had armholes. I'm in on this too. I'm in on this too. This would be fun.

I think we, I think, yeah, this should be our next to all hands. I love it. Staff meeting. Heck yeah. What about almost athletes all sports battle on main channel? And we take the best almost sports moments. It's actually, guys, y'all have come up with two brilliant creatives today. Let's do it.

It's great. I think we should probably sleep deprive ourselves more coming up for videos. Yeah, some people say. I haven't come up with one, but you guys, I'll get sleep, you guys. You came up with something. What was it? I didn't. No, it's just, yeah, you're just going to Italy.

Yeah. Sparks, what do we got next? The twins joined me a little bit ago to watch some hilarious almost athlete moments that you sent us. These were truly some epic fan fails. And they're coming up right after this. What do you say? Let's talk cats, gee.

How we doing more? Come on, Al. How we doing? It's good to be here. Doing great. Good ovation. too for the twins. I know, like vibes up.

I didn't get the memo, I guess. Shorts, really. Yeah. And I literally was just in the car on the way here watching the segment where the interns were getting blasted for their paleness. And I am too, dude.

This is me. I'm playing into it. I'm sorry. If I had pants at the office, I would have switched. Kind of double negative. Pale and shorts. You were asking for comments.

I know. I think it's inexcusable. It's okay. I think you look horrible. It's fine. So we need to kick them out, court? Yeah, I think we should.

It's fine. You can do it again. We're going to have to send you to time out, Kobe. We have been talking about relegation recently. And the fact that we have tears now of channels, main channel, outdoor, athletes, interns. Supposedly Josh had struggled on the outdoor video. And this is like his third in a row where he almost drowned. And now it's adding up.

And Tyler threatened to send him down to AAA with the interns. Oh, that's funny. Well, I'm sure you guys know this, but I got relegated in our fantasy football league this year. So I'll be playing with Amy the accountant. Props to you, though, dude. Next season, so it's fine. Amy, I love you. It's going to be awesome.

Is there a level below that? Not that I'm aware of. I'm pretty sure. I think there is you don't want to know about it, though. No way. There's zero guarantee you climb your way out of that. What are we here for again today? We are here for my favorite segment.

The fans' favorite segment, unless they're in it, it's time for fan fails. Yeah, baby. We're going to watch some almost athlete moments submitted by the fans. They're basically fan sports fails. We're going to give each one a score, one through 10 on our whiteboards. If you'd like to submit yours, that's the fan fail, not your vote. Go to almostathletes.com and you might get a 10 next time. Yeah, this is one of those ones.

It's tough to, you know, incentivize people to send them in because you don't want to be a part of these almost fan moments or almost athlete moments. If you captured one on camera, you might as well. You might, I mean, it's like when I shave my eyebrows, I mean, at least it made someone else laugh. Totally. You know, like that's a brutal situation. That's probably someone else got joy out of it. So if you have a fan fail, send it in, all right?

This is by far my favorite segment on the. show. Especially if you've already lived through the misery. Yeah, you might as well broadcast it for the world. Realistically, these people are past the injury. They're past the heartbreak of it and the embarrassment. So let's just let it let it go. Y'all, I all like it when we share hours. I'm for you all to reciprocate. Well, first up, we have Noah doing some basketball. Come on, Noah. That's one of those turn in. You never know who to look at. A lot of games going. Oh! Oh, yo, truck stick. No, no, no, no, no. Is he conscious? Oh, even the ref can't even look. The ref had to like turn away. Wait, I need to see that a hundred more No, poor guy.

Oh! Dude, a perfect storm. He jumped high. That dude is big. Shoulder to the shoulder to the face. He broke his fall with his nose. Oh, this should definitely have been on ridiculousness. Dude, that was scorpion.

Did you say that? 100% scorpion. We got a little face drag right there at the elbow too. Can you tell what the ref called? Does that matter? He calls a hold here. So tell me he goes to the line. Does he shoot it with his feet?

because I don't think his hands are functioning right now. The ref went to the eye cover, the George Pickens' eye cover. He couldn't even watch. Is Noah the kid that got hurt? I would hope so. He's the one who deserves the credit for riding his face. I'll have a really bad injury in person. Oh, yeah.

They never get any easier. I'm trying to figure out what went wrong here. It's like on his dismount. I think his feet got... I think the guy guarding him in the black jersey pulled down on his shoulder. Like he reached up and came down. Can we zoom in?

Is it possible to zoom in? Here's what I'm going to, walk you guys through what Noah's thinking right now. Before Noah starts to take off, he's legitimately, you're about to see this when he zooms in here. He's about to think, I'm Megatron. I'm about to do this. Watch this. He like

plants and he's about to think this is about to be special. I'm going to go up in Odell Beckham this ball. Yeah, he's trying to one hand this sucker. Yoink! I mean, he literally, he starts to take off and he's like, this is going to be sick. And then he gets truck staked. He gets yoinked instead. Poor Noah, dude.

Oh, no. At this point, I really want to know what happened to finish this game. We don't have that kind of intel, do we? No, we don't. And of course, like an almost athlete Mike, this has to happen on a Saturday morning while the whole public is out watching basketball. Well, and I got another point for you, Spark. Nobody

even notices, right? There's so many games going on in this gym. So you actually think that you, as Noah, you think that the whole world has stopped and they're checking on you and you wake back up here, and there's 15 other whistles going on in this multi-purpose gym. And you've been replaced by some other guy in the team. Yeah, and somebody else

shot the game winning free throws in. Your whole face is in an ice bath. Are they winning or losing right now? It's 33, 41. The white, so I'm thinking they're up eight, which is the good news. The bad news is clearly at the bottom, first half. No.

This isn't even late in the game. Oh. Dude, I can't stop watching it. He reaches for his face because he slid on his eyeball on that fake court. No, appreciate you sending this in. I'm going to need you to let us know what happened. Okay.

Mad respect for sending this in. It doesn't to me feel like this was your fault. This is just one of those things that happen. Can we ask in the future with submissions for just a quick one paragraph? Yeah. One paragraph explanation about what happened next. If it's not clearly obvious

what went down in the aftermath of these moments. We don't need to know what happened because we saw it. We need to know what happened after the camera cut. Like Tyler the other day going through the drywall and the basketball court, I've told everybody that's asked, he did get that ball back in bounds. Like he dove out, ran through the drywall.

And then Cody missed the lay. He did the ball back and bounce. It's important to know that the ball was saved. Also important to know Ty still lost. that game does. Yeah, you know, I just want to make sure

people know the details on that, come on. But to his credit, he saved the ball. So the broken drywall was not for nothing. But this extra

whiteboard that I have is for nothing. All right, I got it. I'm ready. Yeah, I'm ready too. Three, two,

one. That's a nineer for me. Nine for me as well. Right off the bat. Noah absolutely earned that. A hard nine. 8.9.

8.9. I liked it. He landed on his face. Yeah. Yeah. Good for you, Noah. the faces involved. That's the moneymaker. Good for you, brother.

Next. What do you call these? The uneven bars? Oh! Honestly, that could have been worse. He took it on his shins. That could have been his face. I think there is some facial. Dude, y'all, no, his legs.

What's the stretchy doll where, oh, y'all? Hey, Gumbied. Gumbie. Hold on. I need it in slow mo. Do your best to drag it. I'm trying to see what contacts here. Shins. Okay. I think he's supposed to be...

His head could have absolutely crushed that. He catches right on the shin. I actually do think he clipped the back of his head first. It was subtle. A grazer? I think it's his hair. Right there. His hair hit his head hits there, but then he goes full knees.

Thighs, reversal. The question is, was that... Face bomb. Dude, what's this guy's name? This is Caden. Caden. The question is did... Elite move.

The question is, did Caden retire? right then. No, I would. I bounced back, dude. He's a gamer. I'd throw in the towel. Props to the spotter for trying to get a little mad out there. Can we zoom in on this guy kind of flexing in the background? No one that's cared. No, he laughs. No, he laughs. Zoom in on this guy. He gives a chuckle. Yeah, dude, he is laughing. That's a chuckle, dude. He's laughing at Caden. It's almost like he flexed. It's almost like he flexed because he knew this clip's going to be on the internet and I'm going to be on the internet. Caden, when he finds himself on the ground very much is like gathering everything that just happened.

You can tell he's processing like, oh my goodness, what just happened? That could, yes, that could have gone significantly worse. You know what I bet he saw is he was doing the flips? Kind of what I saw in the chair in New Zealand going backwards. Totally. Where you're just, it's that, you know, you have no idea where you are. What was supposed to happen?

Grab it with your hands? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Gymnist score. This is narrowly escaping a disastrous. Well, the funny thing for me when you're judging gymnastics is they're literally trying to get a tent. You know what I mean? Yeah. Perfect scenario for them is a 10.

This man in competition would not have scored much. But good news, this is not an official competition. I can't get over the guy laughing at him. For this show, for what this is and what we're expecting out of these clips, from just regular random people hitting us up. Sure. I don't think it gets any better than that. Oh, really?

This is my personal opinion. I had a 7. Oh, I had a 9-2. I do think that's pretty up there in terms of what you're looking for for these submissions. This is up there, dude. The fact that he bounces twice off the bar, very satisfying. The fact that he was, he didn't know where he was afterwards. Sure.

Got to get some points for that. Disorientation. I go almost completely on how big of an immediate laugh did I get. And, I mean, you can roll the clip back. I got a pretty solid laugh from that. Oh! And to me, the point two came from the guy in the background. I mean, additional real-time laughter has to count for something.

Yeah, adds to it a little bit. Yeah, he was just. doing his best head, shoulders, knees, and toes there. He did hit like every part of his body on the way down. That was pretty good. Good work, Kaden. Next. What do we have here? Oh, they're going too fast. Guys, guys, guys.

Oh. Uh-oh, the immediate runaway. Yep, we see it all the time. Oh, no. Trying to escape the pain. Oh. Trying to think what the game plan here was. This is Azariah. I think he thought he was going to jump it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He definitely thought he was going to bunny hop this. He didn't. Give you a little volume on this.

Please. Come on. Famous last words. The audio adds a lot. Dude, the air leaves his body in a hurry. And also, can we get that sound again? You could just hear the oxygen run away from him. Dude.

I think I want his sound of thumping to be the text message noise when Cody texts me. Just like. Oh, that's Cody. It's kind of texting me. Man, that was the noise I made on... Oh, which arm? Longest dunk with WWE the other day. It was bad.

It was a tough fall into the foam pit. One of the more helpless feelings in life is when the air gets knocked out of you. You don't think you're ever getting in a full... When is oxygen going to come? Yes, you don't know if your lungs are ever going to taste oxygen yet ever again. This one's really bad pre-planning. Makes for a good fan fail. But I don't know what the mission was here, boys.

No. Well, it's just really bad execution. He didn't even get the wheels up. You know, it just got taken out from under him. But again, I want to give huge credit for submitting it because it really brought joy to my day. To me, that's a seven and a half. That's a seven for me.

I also went seven. He 100% broke his arm. I don't know. He might have survived. Maybe risk. I have broken things from far less. So credit to you, Azariah. So he did break his wrist on it.

No way. Yeah, that didn't surprise me. Dude, I can tell a good risk. He held it immediately. I can tell the wrist grab when I see it. Immediate broke. Father time and Mother Earth. Both can be very unforgiving.

I got hurt falling off of a pool table, so that's a low point for me. Yeah, you did. I mean, that was three feet in the air. Do you guys have like the dumbest injury you've ever received? That's the one for me. I mean, I,

I tore part of my labrum in the middle of a fight scene scene, rolling on purpose off the pool table in HQ2. Was it Star Wars? I believe it was. It was honestly pretty good. good scene. Derek choreographed the whole thing.

I don't know how it's possible to get hurt in what I did. You guys could roll the clip. It was not a huge distance. And then we had to sub in Corey because I couldn't finish it. That's when it's beautiful to have a twin. Yeah, that's kind of sweet. Anyways, not about me, about Azariah, had a kid. I have a lot. We'll get there to another segment one day. Next up, Benjamin. Adult indoor playground. This looks like a barc fails happen. Oh, no. No. Boing? What do you think he's in search of here? Dude, his legs go way more than parallel.

He didn't even try to stop his face from hitting the ground. This feels like a bet. Like, Dad, I bet you can't jump up on that. Watch me, son. Well, there's no kids. Those are just two friends. Dude, his neck bent all the way. He needs a sleep number.

Watch this. Another scorpion, dude. To Scorpion City. I have questions on where we are. why an adult playground exists. People would say that about our entire office. Totally, but I just get the sense that they paid to be there. Are there kids present?

There's a park core practice facility, I think. Okay, that's fine. Yeah, but the backstory's important here. Calling it an adult? Is this just dad going... There's a kid in the bottom left. It's all fine. I saw the kid in the bottom left. We're fine now.

You know what this is like, you know the trend where people do the like, I'm just going to see if I have a hidden talent and they sing a song real quick and most of them are like kind of bad at it and they like look around first. This is this guy. He's like, you know what? I have a talent moment. I think maybe I'm a parkour guy.

Ready set this. Yeah. Also, look at everything else in that gym and he chose like a two-foot step to stand on and that took him out. What was he trying to do anything?

I guarantee he blamed it on the fact that it wobbled a little bit. I don't know, but that's funny. I don't know what the involved here. His buddy also didn't care. Very nonchalant reaction from his blue shirt friend. Blue shirt's expecting it. Dude, zero reaction.

Zero. It looks like they've been doing it over and over because they just circled back. You know, like they're on a loop. Like, all right, your turn, my turn, your turn. I want to know what happened before this and after this. Like, did he almost do it correctly the first time? And he's like, dude, just one more.

Just one more. I think they're trying to step on the top and jump over it. But like, what's he trying to do? Plan and hit a front flip? Like, no chance. Yeah, you're right. No chance. Again, poor pre-planning there.

I don't know if that was Benjamin's birthday, but if it was, it got ruined. Do it one more time so I can say parkour right as he does it. I've always wanted to do this. parkour the belly comes out that's a tough place to be especially when you consider you're surrounded by kids

you know it's funny because you just think back to all the million Instagram reels you've seen of someone doing the most insane parkour thing ever looping around a parking garage and you're like you should not have survived that and they did and then this is what takes this guy out let's give it a score. That's an Ocho

for Benjamin for me it was a six for me I think I'm struggling with why they're there in the first place. It would be easier for me to give it a higher score. The fact that there just weren't very many people present, only one child barely in the corner. It affects my score, I think. Sparks and I are on the same page today.

I think it's an eight. It was a seven, but I think the public display of fan fail on this one gives it a bonus point. For sure. For sure. Again, props for sending it in. That's legit.

The fact that Parkour gave you an opportunity to say it. Yeah, gave me an opportunity to say it and Corey's Parkory, Parkour. This one's anonymous. Oh, did he tear his ACL? I think his knee's gone. Did he think he was going to take off?

What? What are we doing out here? I think he's supposed to let go and the plane's supposed to fly away. Dude, I can't tell if his foot is still attached to his leg. Can we zoom in at the... Yeah, thank you. Yeah, I'm not sure what happened there. Ghost hole, as Rob Deerdeck would so confidently say, ghost hole.

Ghost hole to a slippage. I mean, neither the plane nor that human took off. I love how this one came in and on. too. That's tough, dude. That's tough to watch. That's funny though. Looks like he avoided serious injury. It's a long runway. I agree. The foot comes out sideways. I think he's fine. I think he's more embarrassed than hurt. And more embarrassed than hurt, which is always fine. The airplane okay. I was going to say, did the airplane survive? I think he rolled on top of it.

The following. They never got to see that plane fly. That's tough. The next three hours are ruined. Gone, dude. They had to go immediately home. Yeah, for that to ruin your day. Not only is it a fan fail, it also is a dayender. makes that really tough. Yeah, they took off I think you could argue too that if you need a running head start for the plane

you might should have spent a few more dollars on the plane. Yeah, that's probably well said. Also needs to be said that John Doe here, Mr. Anonymous, probably doesn't need to go to like flight school in the future. You know? I think it rolls them out of any like future piloting classes. That's a great clip.

That's a great clip. Just a heads up to anyone else that has a plane like this. You're supposed to throw it. Well, you just throw it in a little. I remember 100% overhold. You just throw it. We would build the whole airplane. for the video and Ty would throw it and it would bomb straight into the ground and explode and it was sad

So maybe the thought process was like they would say back to me Kobe it's not about the extra speed We're just trying to get to a smooth glide, you know? Cool Didn't work out for you didn't work out for mr. Spirit airline there Good effort buddy Let's score it up Three two one it's six for me I started hot and I've gone downhill since we're five Again that one's a public display of embarrassment more than anything avoided serious injury we

which is nice. I bet old Noah wish he could say the same. Yeah, I think in terms of score for me, I'm looking for serious injuries. Yeah. If you want to land a high score, there needs to be some ramifications. And I think he came out pretty unscathed.

Fair. Last but not least, Charlie on the baseball diamond. Come on, Charlie. Show me something. I already like it. We got a pop up behind the play. No. Oh, get out of the way, Blue.

Did he make the play? I think he might have caught that, too. If he caught that, that's phenomenal. He also would be really funny if he didn't I think he might have snagged it No he didn't it's right there on the ground No he did

Hold on I'm looking for a ball I don't see one I mean is that the ball Is that that was what I thought Jaby No it's already there No I think he got it wasn't there No it wasn't there

I think that's the ball I don't want to take the credit away from him If he did catch it Yeah Didn't catch it I think it bounced off of him Man he almost disguised that as a catch What an effort do you think the ump gave it to him

Because he didn't mean to run into it He didn't see it, that's for sure. He can as much as he'd want to. That's just wrong place. You want to get away commercial right there. Are you allowed to shove the ump like that sparks? Not in that scenario, no. That's just wrong place, wrong time.

Should the ump have moved? I believe the ump probably shouldn't have looked up for the baseball and more or less worried about getting out of the way. I'm wondering, is Charlie the umpire here? It's a good question. Charlie, Charlie's the umpire. Charlie Mottor baseball knockover is the title. Does our audience know that you went to umpire school and we're considering that as your

career? If they didn't, they now do. Because I think that's one of the greatest facts about you. I would have out of the way. I think you would have for sure. That's why I asked. Yeah, but see, I envision myself at a big league level, not so much Little League. With all due respect. You got to start somewhere. Little League is, you could argue tougher than being an MLB-ump. How? Did that point being right here. More unexpected things happen. More unexpected things. You'd be a fire-ump, dude. You would have been Banana Ball before Banana Ball. Man, maybe it means to be my quest. The ref looks like he's trying to play the game.

He looks like he's playing the ball. He's like, red, he's like, He like reverted... He's gonna catch it in his ump mask. I think the ref used to be a catcher and he just like can't... He got in the moment. He got in the moment and he's calling him off.

I got it. I got it. Oh no. It's a big boy too behind the plate. Both of them are. Yeah, he is. He is. Two big dudes, man.

I like how the catcher, like he felt contact from the ump and stayed with the mission. Yeah. Somebody's in my way. Doesn't matter. Go for the ball. He makes the play.

I know. He makes the play. It's special. We're sniffing double digits on my board. It's a fan fail, but I like to Keep it pretty easy on the youth sports umpires. It's a tough gig.

I'm locked in. I am two. It's a five. Oh, really? I actually really enjoyed that one. I just felt like... You're hard to predict. Yeah, I know.

Maybe I'm not very good at this game. Maybe there's a reason they haven't invited me too often for the fan fails segment. But I felt like that was pretty entertaining to watch that guy push the ump over. The comedic relief provided. And knock himself out on the baseball. He lost the air, landing on the baseball he dropped. If the baseball comes down on the umpire while he's on his back, That more points.

Extra special for sure. Mega pointage. That's a fun for me. I love that you guys are sending these in. Fans, next time we do this segment, it is our goal to show you the current highest rated worst fail yet so that as we move forward,

if we see one that could possibly de-thrown it, we can talk about it. Yep. I think people would like to go back and see maybe the top three from the past. Mount Rushmore fails. Mount Rushmore fails so that we now know this is what we're trying to dethrone.

I just think it'll give the fans more. more motivation to submit. Because if they could become the new number one. Sure. That's something to chase. It's cool to be shown, but if you're on Mount Rushmore or fails, I'll submit that. Wow. Gives the kids some incentive. Yeah.

That's good. Thanks. Well, today we know who it is. Top score from today was Noah. Faceplant basketball Noah. That was incredible. Yeah. 26.9.

Well, yeah. 26.9. Wow, that's high. Was that higher than gymnastics? What did gymnastics? Yeah, that was a 26. 9 out of 30, that's high. That's really high. 26th only got... 262. That's close.

Genesis was in the 26es, but it's not Noah. No, it's not Noah. I know it deserved a higher score. Whoa. That's our two-minute warning, boys. That means the show's coming to a close. Anything we just want to air our grievances about? Man.

You have something cooking in the kitchen? Has someone brought up the excessive tipping situation recently? Because I am absolutely... over it. You got to be careful here. I'm one hundred. No, I don't need to be careful. This is a public blast to anyone that ever serves me know that I will tip you and I will do it reluctantly. I cannot stand when someone specifically types in their little thing and they go, this is what gets me. Not, hey, if you appreciated my service, feel free to leave a tip. That would be at least honest. No, the line that I keep hearing from people recently is, it's just going to ask you some

kind of question, just whatever you say. You get that a lot. Like you don't know what it's showing on the screen that you've flipped 5,000 times. It's going to show you something. Frankly, it's slipped my mind. To be clear, you're not talking about at a restaurant where they actually serve you. I'm talking about at a drive-through or when you walk up to a counter and you're like, hey, I'd like this bottle of water.

And they're like, sure, that'll be, bitt-and-you scan your phone. And then they're like, it's asking you some kind of question. Frankly, I don't know what it's saying, but feel free to it. Put 25%. And then I thought that they didn't know what your answer was. And then recently, Oh, they know. I pressed the button.

Of course, I tipped because people are like, oh, hey, thanks. Corey from Dude Purve it. You have to tip. It is what it is, right? It's like a 1% problem. I admit it. Okay. But I pressed the button.

And up until this moment, I thought they didn't know. And they looked down at the screen and they said, thank you for that. which now makes you feel like yeah they do know the worst was if you press zero and they give a thing well that's what i'm saying that's tough look i will say this to piggyback that i did uh we did pizza for mom's day weekend sure something cool just picking up pizza and it was a pickup order yeah you know to ghost tough and asking for the tip when it's a pickup not even delivery it's pretty

outlandish i know a dry-through a pickup window we're going on a cruise next year as a family, and you can buy the gratuity package. And I'm like, but those people who still service us aren't going to realize that we purchase the gratuity church. You know, of course. So you have to give a $250 deposit for gratuity, but you're still going to feel obligated in the moment to add on to that.

So I don't know. It's just the whole thing's a game. They do built in whatever, and then they always say, extra tip, and you're like, when is this going to stop? I don't know, but I would suggest that it stops today. I think on tour we should start asking for tips. Ooh, that's good after meeting greets? Just a quick message.

I have literally no idea what this is saying, but if you can just answer a couple questions, that'd be great. Preferably 20. I don't know what it's saying. We should have Jackson do that in line. Ask for tips? I just see what people say. They probably make some decent money.

Don't give him that idea. He'll love it. I'm over it. Corey's over it, and this show is now over. Looks like our time's up. If you like this video, be sure to check out a dude perfect judge's slam dunk fails here. We'll be back next Wednesday with an all new web.

We love you guys. Pound it. Noggin. See ya. Please choose. I don't know what this is saying. I'll give you a 6 on the sign off. Whatever it is.

6% or 25%? I don't know what it's asking. Wave.
