Hey My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. It's been a hell of a few days for us. It's been a very fun, certainly a very fun Sunday. Tiger obviously won the Masters, which is something I've been looking forward to since he won his last major almost 11 years ago. And then we rolled that right into Game of Thrones, coming back after, I think, 595 days. So it has been certainly one of the best Sundays of my life, if not the best.

A Sunday of returns. I was nine the last time Tiger won a major. How crazy is that? That's insane. Nine years old. That is a long time ago. That's a long time ago. So take me through.

I was on a flight all day. When you woke up this morning, are you like kind of shit in your pants did you wake up with a knot in your stomach like tiger might actually win this thing well it's interesting because this year they did the um they had the early tee times and split teas because there was bad weather approaching augusta so the leaders teed off around 9 20 this morning when they would normally tee off around 2 30 in the afternoon so during the time normally when i would wake up and i would have to wait if tiger was in the final group i would get nervous but i basically woke up at 8 30 went to the office and met up with the foreplay guys and then he was teeing off so sort of the early tee times not

only did it give us a chance uh to kind of get ready for game of thrones but also it just puts you right into it and it's happening and tigers in the final group and he's playing well and so you don't have the time to get those types of nerves that you usually have was he in the lead going into today or no no he was two shots off of uh francesco molinari and i saw that guy just kept hitting balls in the water. Well, yeah, but if you follow golf at all, you'll know that he's been on a pretty spectacular run. He won the British Open, and then he really

gave it to Team USA at the Ryder Cup. He's been playing some of the best golf in the world, so he's a guy who doesn't make mistakes. And it's tough to go into a Sunday when you're two shots off the lead and he's the leader, and you don't think he's going to make any mistakes. But you're right, and then he did end up making mistakes.

He put it on the water on 12, he put it on the water on 15, and then Tiger blood in the water, and he just wins the whole thing. Unbelievable. He had to see that red shirt. I saw you guys posting, like, he saw that red shirt in the corner of his eye. That had to be what it is. Dude. When Tiger's approaching, about to win his fifth Masters, you got to be shitting your pants like oh my god dude he tiger

did this thing tiger did this thing that we talked about on the podcast not even borderline unsportsman like it's just unsportsmanlike he was on the t-box on six and normally the guys who are not hitting a ball they just kind of stand behind and they wait whether their turn is next or they're about to go get their balls. Tiger stood off to the right of the tee box and three feet in front of it. And Molinari is a right-handed golfer. So when he's looking down at that ball, in kind of the tops and the corners of his eyes, he had to see the red shirt, which like we said, you just can't do that. I love the move. I love it.

And I'll be honest with you. I'm not a Tiger guy. Don't't do that i love the move i love it and i don't i'll be honest with you i'm not a tiger guy don't like tiger i love that move and today was actually like i watched the i watched the win on the plane i had a hellacious travel day it took me seven hours to get from chicago to new york not interesting but i watched it and i even got a little like lump in my throat as a guy that doesn't like tiger when he's hugging his son was there any point where you were about to cry i thought there was going to be a moment when i was going to cry and when he hugged his son you're right that would have been the moment where i was going to but it just it didn't the tears didn't happen it was too i saw your videos and you could go check them out if you haven't

seen them yet they're all over twitter the foreplay guys went as bananas as i went for a star wars trailer and that was that was my half of the weekend. That's why I was so over the moon. We got so much awesome Star Wars content and trailers and teasers for video games, The Mandalorian, The Rise of Skywalker. Feels amazing to say. You're a Star Warrior. You coined that term. I did.

I think it hasn't caught on as much as I would have liked. It's in my Twitter profile. People were buzzing about it at Celebration. Everywhere you walked, people were like, Star Warriors. I would get beat up at the Star Wars Celebration. I know that it's probably people who aren't ready to fight, but if I was like, yeah, I'm a Star Warrior,

I think people would get physical. It is the nicest place on Earth. I got some nasty, nasty looks because what I was doing, I bought an X-Wing helmet and I was walking past people dressed as stormtroopers or like imperial troops and i was going fighting for the wrong side man and they were like what do you mean and i was like you're fighting for the wrong side if you want to hear more trent reacting to to tiger and the masters you guys did an emergency foreplay and it's out now it's out we started recording right after about 25 minutes after he made the

winning putt we all jumped in the studio did a uh instant reaction so yeah that's up on foreplay that's up on foreplay go check it out Frankie Borelli was also that kid cracks me up so much and I hate that he makes me enjoy Islander goals now yep because his emotion Islander score second after Tiger wins the Masters, and he just lost his mind. He had to black out. Like, that's a blackout moment. I blacked out when I heard the Emperor laugh in the trailer.

Frankie absolutely blacked out when everything in his life came full circle in that moment. But I brought you on the podcast today to talk about Game of Thrones. We just got back from the office. It's about 10.30 p.m. We watched it with the gang, the squad. It was my first time ever watching Game of Thrones live. I was one of these people that caught up. Thanks to you, pretty much, you were like, you got to do this.

In between the last season and this season, actually in January, we did it in two weeks. You rewatched it for your second time. Yep. I watched it for my first time. And I'm all in. I love it. I don't claim to be an expert of any sort, but I just love the show. And it was a thrilling experience to see it for the first time, I'm all in. I love it. I don't claim to be an expert of any sort, but I just love the show. And it was a thrilling experience

to see it for the first time knowing like anything could happen because I had a few things spoiled for me, you know, the Red Wedding and the Ice Dragon stuff and whatever. Oh, by the way, spoilers, if you don't watch Game of Thrones. Oh yeah.

Skip forward. I'll put, look at the timestamps of the podcast description. I have Dylan Danis on the show. So you could skip forward to that if you're not interested in Game of Thrones talk or don't want to be spoiled. Look in the podcast description i have dylan dennis on the show so you could skip forward to that if you're not interested in game of thrones talk or don't want to be spoiled look in the podcast description but we got the the first episode of the final season today real quick before we get into like breaking things down initial thoughts initial reactions i enjoyed it

thoroughly me too i've been seeing some reactions on twitter which is always not a great place to go if you're like excited about something like oh I want to see what other people are saying the things that happened in that episode I expected them sort of to happen at some point during the season and I thought we got more in the first episode than we were going to get in the first episode I agree I I don't want to say I had low expectations going in but I didn't have like battle of the bastards expectations going in because we know that that's coming a little later on. We know there has to be a ton of setting up to do, and I thought the setting up was cool. The episode opening like gave me chills because we saw a little boy running, and he looks over like finally after a few minutes of running, looks over a kind of mountain type cliff or ledge, whatever.

And he sees the armies forming and i was like oh that's such a brilliant way to start the season because that little boy is us like all of us being like oh shit what's going on over here yep um and then it opens like the first actual piece of dialogue in the episode is tyrian making a eunuch joke to varus which i loved it was like so classic game of thrones is back Tyrion's making dick jokes. Varys is making midget jokes. It was amazing. Yes.

I thought that was really cool. And then we saw John and, as Dave calls her, Tenarius. I was going to trip up on that too because we just watched that video on the ride back. Yeah, we saw John and Khaleesi. Khaleesi wearing the flyest coat she's ever worn. There's part of me being like, you know those shots of supermodels cleaning up, doing community service for stupid crimes, and they wear Gucci outfits? The people in the North have to be like, this asshole had the white outfit made for this trip. But you've got to stunt when you're in the North because they have, in my opinion, the best outfits.

They've got the fur coats. She's seen John john she knows what he wears she's got to be like all right i'm gonna wear something awesome and it was that jacket that coat that thing was fly it was so awesome but i i couldn't help but think like the people in the north bad first impression of like oh rich girl's here and she owns the place now good point uh john and bran reunite which at this point i'm all in on brand and it's not just because i look like the kid when he wears glasses this guy cracks me up more than anybody he's just a little stoner sitting in his chair doing edibles every time they cut to him like there was a bunch of us in the office we laughed out loud every time they cut it felt like a sitcom when we were in there there were so many

of us in there watching it and every time they cut to brand weird ass brand he's just sitting in his chair just staring and what is the first thing he said to john like weird-ass Bran, he's just sitting in his chair, just staring. And what is the first thing he said to Jon? Like, Jon runs up to him. He's like, oh, my God, I haven't seen you since you were a boy. I left. Now you're all grown up. You're a man.

That's what he says when he says, you're a man. And Bran sits there and goes, almost. Which is not an appropriate response to that. Not at all. Nope. I still don't know what that means. I don't either. I have no idea. Is he, like, waiting for his balls to drop? He seems too old for response to that. Not at all. Nope. I still don't know what that means. I don't either. I have no idea.

Is he like waiting for his balls to drop? He seems too old for that to happen. It makes no sense. The response of almost to you're a man is ridiculous. I might just start incorporating almost into every declarative statement anyone says about me. I might just hit him with a almost. Almost. Like, man, you had a great weekend this weekend, huh?

Almost. Almost. And it's like, what? And they what they're like all right you fucking weirdo yeah and then yeah he just did that the whole episode every time they cut to him verbal out loud laughter from everyone in the room yeah um they they start like convincing the kingdoms to you know unite or i guess kind of follow uh denarius as queen because they elected Jon king of the north but then he stepped down I was so with Jon Snow I saw so many people calling Jon Snow lame for bending the knee and doing what he did sacrificing the title who gives a fuck about the titles at this point that's the whole point that's the whole point everyone is like oh no we she's not our queen you're our king you bent the knee this is bad this is horrible she's no, she's not our queen. You're our king. You bent the knee. This is bad. This is horrible. She's an outsider.

She's got dragons. They're really scary. Dude, it doesn't matter who is what. The fact of the matter is the Night King is coming. The dead are coming. We can't. Who said that already? Oh, Bran said it.

As weird as he is, he's like, when Sansa meets Daenerys and they're like, oh, she's Lady of Winterfell and I'm the queen, Daenerys. They immediately kicked off the Mean Girls drama with those two, by the way. They hate each other. They hate the fuck out of each other. But Bran is like, we don't have time for this. The exchange of titles and who we are and what we mean to certain sections of the map do not matter. The only thing that matters is the shit that's coming from the north down to the south. I was laughing so hard at the initial couple problems that Jon and Daenerys are having because it's like

Jon's sister hates Daenerys. Daenerys feels uncomfortable in Jon's home. She's like, I don't know if we should live here. The dragons can't eat. And he's like, oh my god,

the fucking dragons. He's like, where can we... What do you want me to do about the dragons, lady? We're at war here. And then the only time they kiss, they sneak.

They have to ride literal dragons up somewhere out of nowhere. Which here's my thing. You have sat next to me watching every episode of Game of Thrones with me, and I've said this multiple times. When are we going to get some fucking saddles for the dragons? Because it makes me like I have a little poop turtling out of my butthole every time someone steps onto a dragon because they just hold on to those horns like, horns that aren't even horns.

And Jon, like, made a joke about it. He's like, what do I hold on to? And she's just like, anything you can. And I'd be like, bitch, this is not the time for jokes. You can't saddle a dragon, bro. You can't put a saddle on a dragon. Why not? They're wild creatures.

I know, but if it's Khaleesi, they love her. She loves them. She's like, hey, I don't want to die. Also, that dragon scene was very cool when they had Jon Snow riding a dragon, Khaleesi riding a dragon. It went on forever. Where I was like, oh, is this the rest of the episode? We're just going to watch them travel in real time to wherever they need to go?

I would have been big on that. I would have been in on that. That was one thing that I knew we were going to get was Jon riding a dragon. I did not think we were going to get that in the first episode. That felt like a bonus thing to me. Yeah, that was cool. Like, him riding a dragon is a huge deal. That was very cool.

Because then he obviously later finds out, jumping ahead a little bit, but he finds out that he's a Targaryen. He's a Jon. He is a person who can ride dragons. That's why they're allowing him to do it. Yeah. So I have some notes.

This is the next note I wrote down. Euron is such a horny pervert. This guy is the worst. This is, now that I wrote down. Euron is such a horny pervert. This guy is the worst. This is, now that Littlefinger is dead, now that Joffrey is dead, now that Ramsay is dead, I have to say, Euron Greyjoy is my least favorite character on the entire show. Not only is Euron Greyjoy definitely one of my least favorite characters, but the entire Iron Island storyline, which includes Theon and Yara.

It stinks. It stinks. Yeah. Every time they're on the screen i don't care theon should have died three seasons ago he should have killed himself he went through too much not to kill himself not only that but he has been in situations where he should just be dead there there better be some sort of huge payoff with theon or some sort of a huge lesson that we're going to learn because to keep him around and to keep the gray joys around and to keep the iron islands around it's just it's too stupid and too it's a waste of time we got six

episodes we are we're wasting it on yara and theon like hanging out in the bottom of a boat i will say the one of the coolest scenes for me was the like boat ambush when you just start seeing people take bows to the face yeah and i was thinking about this and i wrote it down there's nothing cooler than a boat sneak attack you see it in like james bond movies sometimes uh captain america winter soldier he has a boat sneak attack like rolling up on another boat and then like sneakily like everyone on that boat's sleeping let's sneak on that was cool but i actually just don't care about those characters so as soon as it's over i was like oh i wish that was like i wish they saved that for like cooler characters to do. Right. And then, yeah, Euron is very annoying.

He definitely just wants to have sex with Cersei, which he did. Shout out to you. What the fuck? You know what? You know what, Cersei? He should have gotten you those elephants. If you're going to have sex with him. She wanted the elephants real bad.

She wanted those elephants so goddamn bad. They brought it up maybe three times. They did. And it was getting to the point where I was like, is this show going to end with Cersei taking like an elephant trunk to the chest? Is this going to be some kind of poetic justice? They brought it up too many times for them not to do something with it later. And also, her being like, oh, we don't have elephants,

now we can't beat the dragons? What are you talking about? This is the first time elephants have ever been mentioned on Thrones, without a doubt. Why don't you want the woolly mammoths that we saw earlier? Yep. She's like like i wanted those elephants she has she just never seen an elephant and she was just like i would i would love to see

she's picturing an elephant we know what elephants and what size they are she thinks they're 10 times that size she thinks they're like godzilla she thinks they're huge she wants them so badly um i i just kept writing down uh i love brand i wrote i i cannot believe twice that cersei fucked you on great joy that was such a weird scene because i thought brand i wrote i i cannot believe twice that cersei fucked you on great joy that was such a weird scene because i thought he i thought she was going to kill him when he was like he kept prodding her to be like hey i kind of owe me a fuck huh and she was like no like what are you talking about and he's like i don't know i gave you a lot and she's like let's just win the war he's like it could take years let's fuck and then she was like all right their relationships

does seem like on the line of we're gonna to fuck or we're going to kill each other. And then the hardo was like, how did I compare to your dead husband? She's like, that's a little insulting. And then he's like, how do I compare to your brother? And she's like, wow, that's very insulting. But she likes it. She's so fucked up. And then he and then he rubs her belly and he's like, I'm going to put a little baby in you.

And she's like, oh, son, guess what? That's been done already. Yeah. We got a ton more Bran. Every time they cut the Bran, he's just sitting in that wheelchair. I want to know how he gets around. Is he Professor X-ing that thing where he's like moving it with his mind? Or does he have someone moving him?

And he's like, okay, by the time the person that I'm going to see makes it to me, you've got to be out of there like Batman. I mean, when Samwell finally sees him,'ve got to be out of there like Batman. I mean, when Samwell finally sees him, he had to be sitting there for four hours. He's like, I know Samwell's... I can see things that are happening. Samwell's going to come run out of there, but I've been sitting here for four hours.

Yeah, so Samwell comes running out because Khaleesi reveals that she killed his dad and his brother, who were complete assholes to him, like some of the most hateable characters in the last season. Certainly his dad, yeah. Yeah, his dad was his brother who were complete assholes to him like some of the most hateable characters in the last season certainly his dad yeah yeah his dad was the worst his brother was kind of like followed him uh she she roasted their asses with the dragons yeah she reveals it he's pretty distraught and then he walks out brent's in there and he's like it's time to tell john he's like why don't you tell him you're his brother he's like i'm not his brother and brother. And he's like, oh, you know what I was fucking saying, Brad. That's another one of those weird things where he's just like, no, you're right, but can you just stop being a weirdo for one second?

Yeah, so we get a pause before he goes and tells John. We deal with Bron a little bit. I saw a lot of people predicting that Bron was going to eat it in this episode. He was a favorite to die in the first. I didn't think we were getting a big death in the first. I don't think I would have liked it. don't waste no don't waste a death on the first don't waste the death this is it's a setup episode i'm gonna be real sad if braun eats it he might he does seem sort of like one of the characters on the outside but i love braun well

now that he's got the the bow from cersei and they said he uh she she has a thing for poetic justice and she wants you to kill her brothers he's too close to Jaime to do that yep there's no chance that he would kill Jaime in my eyes and same thing with Tyrion even so I think he's gonna have some kind of like sacrifice for them he does seem like one of the guys who could go yeah because like he he's always been that rogue scoundrel like Han Solo type character yeah I could see him eating it. And then finally, Samwell has to tell John that he's related to the woman he's been fucking.

And it's kind of a weird scene, but John took it better than I thought he would. Really? Yeah. I thought John was going to punch Samwell in the face. And John loves Samwell more than anybody. For sure. But I honestly thought he was going to punch him in the face when he started walking towards him because he's like,

listen, your mom is Lyanna Stark. Your dad is Rhaegar Targaryen. And he's like, it is what it is, man. You're the king. And he's just like, my father, Ned Stark, was the most honorable man I've ever known, and you're telling me a lot. And he's like, yeah, but to keep you safe.

And then I thought he was going to punch him in the face, but he didn't. And he, he just kind of, a lot of people are doubting Khaleesi in this episode. A lot of people are like worried that John has just fallen, whatever she says, because he's fucking her.

That's certainly what Sansa's worried about. Sansa's worried about it. I feel like Samuel was worried about it. Cause he's, he was saying like, would she bend the knee to you? And, and Arya is very worried about it because when they finally meet up again they hug out in the courtyard or

whatever that is which was a nice scene that was that was actually yeah they were they were great pals growing up so see them together and then like comparing when he took out his sword of the valerian steel and he was like jealous like that was like very cool it felt like we went back to season one for like a second and then he asked oh and she brings out needle he's like have you used it and she was like once or twice yeah she's just a full-blown like the best killer probably in the world at this point she's probably killed more people than john it's got to be pretty close i would say and then when they hug he says like i'm your sister i'm your brother and she's like don't forget that so aria is very much on satsa side like i get that you are having sex with your aunt,

unknowing to me and you at this moment, but, like, you're a Stark, and you got to stick with us. Yeah. The episode then kind of reaches a peak when we meet up with the Tormund group. Tormund, homeboy with the eyepatch, Geddy Lee from Rush, that whole weird misfit squad.

They're like the band of brothers. They're the brothers without banners. Yeah. I mean, I've watched this thing through twice, and I don't know their names. Yeah. You don't need to. I feel like you don't.

Tormund. You just need to know Tormund. Tormund is definitely the one you need to know. And now at this moment, I didn't think anyone was going to die, but here I was like, oh, Tormund eats it. I thought he was too. Because they follow down this like dark hallway and they find fucking so creepy like

a little boy kind of pinned to a wall like dead with limbs all around him in the shape of like i don't even know what that well if you'll remember if all the way back to episode one of the entire series the when the white walkers fuck people up, they do that. They make, like, crazy designs. I think you see it a couple times throughout the series, but definitely in episode one, when they first, like, stumble upon a White Walker camp or a camp that got fucked up by the White Walkers, they do put it in that circle type thing. I figured it was something we've seen before, but I must have just forgotten it. And then they have this amazing horror movie moment where Tormund has his – he's kind of facing the camera. And the boy is in the background of the shot, and you just see his eyes go blue. And he screams, and it is an awesome, awesome jump scare.

That was maybe the coolest part of the episode for me because I was like, man, that was just so well executed. Yes. Where it was like you felt like you were in that fucking room terrified and i was so scared they they burn his body it burns the whole symbol up like the crow which was awesome yep and then uh they kind of meet up with braun and that's that's pretty much the end of the episode oh and jamie has kind of made his way as well we forgot to mention that that was yeah that was pretty much the last thing we saw was him arriving in winterfell. And then our fucking guy, Bran, is sitting there in his wheelchair. And Jamie looks at him and he's just looking at him like,

he's like, I don't even need to use my powers. Remember what happened between me and you? Yeah, he's like, hey, motherfucker, you remember me? You're the reason I'm in this chair. Threw me out of a building and now I'm the three-eyed raven. And Jamie's like, this kid's on drugs. Who is this kid who took mushrooms and now you're letting him near me somebody stop letting the crippled boy take drugs because he's losing his

mind it's i just i brand brand moments may be my favorite part of the season despite everything else yeah it i i loved every brand moment i'm all in on brand if you want to put him on the throne by the end of it and just have everybody confused i'm in i will say so you're a you're a night king on the throne guy right that's like what your court sort of aiming towards you know i i've been rethinking that recently because i don't know if it's that interesting the only way it would be interesting is if there's a motive behind what he's doing because there's two ways of thought with the night king the one thought is that he is just doing what he's doing. He has no motives. He's just

in his mind. He's not like a sentient being where he has a goal. The way is he's just, I'm going to kill everything and I'm going to keep killing and keep killing until there's nobody left to kill. Almost zombie-like. Almost zombie-like. The flip side of that, which I would be much more interested in, is I would love to find out why.

If he has a reason if there's a brain up there and he's like this is why i'm doing this because if you remember he is like a man yeah we saw him kind of not turn into the night king but we saw his sort of origin the kids of the forest yeah they put that in him and they're the reason he was created so that's if there's a motive behind what he's doing i am rooting for that if it's just like a zombie brainless murdering machine i'm far less interested in that i am rooting for that if it's just like a zombie brainless murdering machine i'm far less interested in that i would agree with that and when you originally pitched me on the idea of that i was out on it until i saw the game of thrones poster that they released before

this season with him sitting on the throne yeah it looks so pimp i was like god damn it if this series ends with him like walking up the the aisle sitting on the throne, and then the whole thing's frosting over. I was like, if that's the ending of this show, and they're going by the Ramsey Bolton, if you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention, that would be awesome. I'm still rooting for my girl Khaleesi with Tyrion Hand of the King. I think Jon Snow is definitely going to die. I don't see a world in which he makes it out of this series alive. I think he has a noble sacrifice for Khaleesi of some sort sort danny or john has to go like it can't end it's not game of

thrones if it ends with danny and john happily running uh the world it'd be wild if she went that would be yeah it would be that would be the most shocking death in the show's history yeah what is now what would you say the most shocking death is other than john snow doesn't count because they resurrected him. Robb Stark will always be number one, I think, for me. True. Just because they did the thing again where they groomed this guy. They did it with Ned Stark in season one where they groomed this person who you think is, all right, they're going to carry this show forward.

And then they just kill him in cold blood. He was so awesome, too. He really was. He was the fucking man. I'm trying to think of other deaths. And then they set up the cool happy ending for him where they were going to name the kid Eddard. And it was like, oh, my God. Things are really looking up.

And things look real far down. My girl Ygritte was shocking for me. Oh, yeah. That was the one I took hardest. That was really tough for me. You guys can't see Bob right now, but he's just staring off in the distance. Yeah. And that little fucking shit, Ollie.

That was, ugh. Yeah. That little shit. that little fucking shit, Ollie. That was, ugh. Yeah. That little shit. I will say this as well. We watched the, we watched a little bit of the last episode of season seven bleeding into this.

Littlefinger needs to be dead. I've seen a lot of theories that he's alive. I've seen a lot of theories that he's working with the Faceless Man because that's where his ancestors come from, whatever. That, I think,

is my favorite death in the show, the most satisfying for me. It's either that or obviously that Ramsey and Jo favorite death in the show the most satisfying for me it's either that or obviously that Ramsey and Joffrey are the three but I hated that pervert so much the way he dealt with Sansa he it was just like bro what the fuck is wrong with you and if you remember when it's when he's in Winterfell with the Stark sisters you think that um he's playing them and you're like no he's because you put them against each other. And you're like, no, no. And you kind of start to,

I don't know if everyone did, but I kind of started to hate the Stark sisters in that moment. Because I was like, why are we arguing with each other? Littlefinger obviously put you up to this. And then they just slit his throat and it's glorious to watch.

He better be dead. I would be highly upset if he comes back. I haven't really read the theories about the Faceless Man. I sort of really read the theories about the faceless man. I sort of get, I understand it. He's dead. He's dead.

He better be dead. That's pretty much all we could say about episode one. I think. Yeah, I think so. I think we covered pretty much all of it. I enjoyed it. Like we said,

it was slow as a setup episode, but that's what it needed to be. And now we have five episodes left. I want it to reach a peak where like set everything up in the beginning. And then once you go balls to the wall do not do like just lay on the gas and stay on it you got john snow riding a dragon that's not a slow thing yeah you got every reunion you wanted those these are united with the entire stark family which we've been waiting for right i'm saying we've been waiting

for forever but people that have watched the show forever have been waiting for. I'm saying we've been waiting for forever, but people that have watched the show forever have been waiting for that since season one when he went off to the Night's Watch. What was it, 595 days since the last episode? And in this episode, we get a bunch of reunions. We get Cersei. We get Jon, Rhyne, and Dragon. We get Khaleesi in the north.

We get all these things. I mean, that whets my whistle. I'm fine. I'm not going to complain about that. Yeah. No way. I thought it was a ton of fun the teaser for next week looked cool oh and we got no night king no night walkers and i love that white walkers because this reminds me to bring it back to wrestling certain people are reserved for like a few times a year to keep them special and i love

that we're keeping the night king special gotta do like do not there's six episodes don't give them to me in all six give them to me have them appear for the first time in three yeah or something like that and weren't they saying that's when the battle's going to take place or something the third i believe the third episode is battle of winterfell which is going to be wild but you are right i like that we didn't see the night king but we did see like the he's working his way down yeah and the intro is new as well, which was cool. That was one of the coolest parts, too, where everything's kind of chilled over. They show the hole in the wall. I think it's going to be a shocking moment the first time we see them.

Even though we know how big their army was, we saw it in the finale of Season 7. This is Season 8, right? Yes. We saw it in the finale of Season 7. I think it's going to be one of those like characters gonna look over the wall and be like oh my god just huge army i couldn't be happier i didn't expect you know like i said the battle of the bastards or anything like that i expected a setup episode we got a setup episode like you said we got to see john riding a dragon john now knows he's agon targaryen fifth of his name that's

that was those are two huge things. Yeah. There's going to be people. I love that we got that out of the way right away. Me too. It's not like people are dancing around Jon

like, oh, fuck. That had to happen early. I'm totally with you. Glowing reviews. If you're out there and you think it was great too and people are like, oh, that was a boring

set-up episode, don't be scared of them. They're wrong. That was a great episode. Game of Thrones is back in our lives. It's going to be in our lives for the next five sundays enjoy it don't have a negative attitude about it yeah which is amazing so hopefully you'll be on at some point to talk game of thrones again maybe we'll do finale maybe we'll do episodes in between we'll

see what the people want let us know follow trent at barstool trent on twitter go listen to foreplay the tiger woods won the master special. I still cannot believe that is the world we live in. That Tiger Woods won the masters this year of all like tournaments to come back and win. He had that one, like it wasn't a major, but you know,

it was a, he won the tour championship. Yeah. That, that was huge. And then for him to just come back and win the masters, that is fucking crazy. He just won the masters.

He won the math. He won the masters. It's that, that really is crazy. Obviously, people always said that he'd have to win a major before he was back, and there's varying degrees of majors of which one you want to win. The Masters was number one on the list, the first one of the season, and he just won it.

He did it. So congratulations to you. Thank you. Tiger Woods is back. The Emperor is back. Emperor Palpatine, which, by the way, I tweeted this. Did you know his first name was sheev i'm not gonna know that s-h-e-e-v the worst first name of all time which explains

why he's such a genocidal space terrorist i'm so out of my depth right now all right follow trent on twitter at barstool trent um coming up next i have an exclusive interview with the man that habib nurmagomedov attacked after UFC 229. Maybe the most hated man in all of mixed martial arts right now, Dylan Danis. And, uh, it's a fun chat, so enjoy. Okay, welcome back to the show. We have a guest that I've been looking to get in here for a long time.

A friend of the show, I feel like I can say. Yeah. Is that accurate? Yeah, I would say that was accurate. All right. You're part of SPG, like an adopted SPG member. Wow, adopted member of SPG. The voice you're hearing is the one, the only Dylan Dannis,

the infamous Dylan Dannis at this point. Dylan, how are you? Doing good, man. Excited. Fighting in MSG, so, you know, just taking everything in, so I'm happy. That's right. You got Max Humphrey, MSG, June 14th. As a guy that grew up in Jersey, I'm sure you were going to MSG your so, you know, just taking everything in, so I'm happy. That's right. You got Max Humphrey, MSG, June 14th. As a guy that grew up in Jersey, I'm sure you were going to MSG your whole life for events and fights and whatever.

Is this, like, way extra than what you could have ever imagined? I feel like it's kind of, like, a bad thing fighting there because I'm never going to want to fight anywhere else. I drive past it every day when I'm going home. I walk past it every day when I'm going to train. Growing up in Jersey, obviously. Living in New York, it's surreal. All the fighters that fought there, all the basketball players that played there, it's super cool.

What's the first thing that comes to mind for you when you think MSG? Is it the Conor win? Yeah, obviously. That's one of the most recent ones. Obviously, Conor's a legend and one of my close friends. Growing up, I really liked Prince Azeem. He was one of my friends. Oh, yeah?

Yeah, and he's fought there before, and I thought that was pretty cool. And, yeah, obviously Conor, Prince Azeem, Tyson. There's been so many people that have fought there. And now Danis. Throw Danis on the list. That's right. Are you training at SBG for this fight? I think so.

I'm not sure. I haven't talked to John yet about it, but I'll probably go there for a couple weeks or something like that. But I've been here training, you know, because I like to be to John yet about it. I'll probably go there for a couple weeks or something like that. But I've been here training because I like to be in my own bed sometimes. It's a little bit easier. I have to take care of my dog and stuff. So it makes stuff a little bit easier. But I think I will go out there. I know you've been over this a thousand times. I'm sorry I have to put you through it one more time.

You had a long layoff between your last fight, your first professional fight, and this one. Due partly to a seven-month suspension you received for what I like to call defending yourself at UFC 229. Habib jumped the cage. He had a little coup de grace on you. It was a whole thing. Suspended seven months. You're back. Take us through that night one more time.

You don't have to go through the whole thing. But just Habib's jumping at you. And what's going through your mind when he's in the in the air like an actual eagle so when he's in the air in my mind he was like he had his arms up and his feet up so then i was thinking like what the hell is he gonna throw at me so i didn't know i was like where do i like block because i was like is he gonna kick me or is he gonna like it was like the weirdest attack ever and and then i was thinking like when he lands like what are we gonna do you know we're gonna throw at him we try to take him down i'm not gonna pull guard um so you're to pull guard? You were going to pull guard on the floor outside the octagon?

I could have. It would have been easier than trying to strike with him, I'll tell you that. But, yeah, in my head, I was just like, how do you block this? Like, you know, where is he coming from? And then after that, it was just like flight or flight. I just got into it, you know. Some people would have probably shied away, but I was just right into the fire and right after him.

But, yeah, it was just – I couldn't believe it. I just looked up, and all of a sudden he's in there. I was like, holy shit, what the hell is going on? I've heard you say this many times. You say, like, where I'm from, we just fight. That's what we do. Yeah. That confuses me a little bit because you and I are from pretty similar areas of New Jersey,

and I'm like, people don't fight in that area of New Jersey. Are you talking about just, like, in the gym or something? or something no I mean that's actually how I started fighting was street fights in Parsippany and I grew up a little bit younger in Dover so I've been all over the place but I did used to fight a lot in Parsippany how was your street fighting when you were a kid I'm undefeated undefeated in street fights but then it got too bad where I was trying to get I was I was gonna get jumped a lot so I had to learn how to really fight is this pre-jiu-jitsu yeah that's how that's how I started training jiu-jitsu was I got into a street fight So I had to learn how to really fight. Is this pre-jiu-jitsu? Yeah. That's how I started training jiu-jitsu. I got into a street fight and I beat the kid twice.

And the kid was kind of popular. So all his friends would come and try to jump me. And I was like, fuck this. I need to learn how to fight either. I'm going to get killed or I'm going to have to learn how to fight. So that's actually how I started training because I wanted to be able to defend myself against a bunch of people or even one or two people. Were you like sort of, were you rustling feathers back then in the same way you are now,

where you would just kind of talk shit to talk shit, like, just for the fun of it? Yeah, I mean, I was a good troll back then, too. I mean, mostly with my teachers, and I'm pretty sure they all hated me. I used to get kicked out of class a lot. I used to get a bunch of write-ups and stuff like that, so I kind of feel bad. But, yeah, I was like the class clown, I could say. I used to love doing stuff to get people bunch of write-ups and stuff like that. I kind of feel bad, but I was like the class clown, I could say. I used to love doing stuff to get people mad, trick the teachers and stuff.

I used to do the same in high school, but I would defuse it right before I get punched in the face. I'm not about that life where I'm like, I'll talk shit, and if you've got a problem with it, fight me. I'll talk shit, and if you've got a problem with it, I'll apologize as many times as you want me to. That's my thing. The teachers the teachers are more my thing though so they couldn't hit me so it was

even funner so speaking of trash talk another question that i know you've gotten a hundred times over the past few weeks but i have to bring it up do you think this trash talk between habib and connor is going too far in a bit of a scary way going towards a scary direction um i don't i don't think so but i mean a lot of people are telling me this and i begin this question a lot but i honestly don't think so um i was saying this yesterday some kids like you know so sometimes you have friends that could take banter you know you can go back and forth and you know like i was saying this like i could talk a lot of shit but someone talks shit back to me i i could take it it's not going to keep me up at night it's not

that's just who he is and when you're younger you kind of respect the kid that's like could take it. It's not going to keep me up at night. That's just who he is. And when you're younger, you kind of respect the kid that's like, take it and give it out, you know? So I think in his head, he can't take it and give it back out. He just takes everything very personally. I agree with that because you, much like me, we've received probably many death threats. Probably you way more than me. But in like the lead up to 229, you know, making videos, talking shit, the death threats come in. They're always super detailed, super scary. Yeah.

Does that change things where you're like, okay, these guys can't take it. They can't throw it back. So maybe we should tone it down? Because clearly, like, Team SBG, great sense of humor. Team other side, no humor. But this is no humor but this is the this is the sport this is the you know fighting that he's i mean this is what he signed up for so i mean you can't care about his feelings it's not it's not our problem now moving on to people that you trash talk yeah there's a long list of them there's a thousand of them one that interests me because this is just i go into

the brain of dylan dennis and i'm like this guy's a genius. It's Jake Paul. Because you've had this feud with Jake Paul, Logan Paul, talking about boxing them. Did you see the thing last night that he said? No, what did he say last night? He just went back and forth last night because he commented on my picture like, you're garbage. And I was like, you get like my ball sack. But it was just a little thing that went back. Jake or Logan?

This was Jake. He commented on my picture I posted on Funny at Madison Square Garden. So he came at you first, correct? Yeah, he did. He just, like, posted, like, he called you, like, Paul O'Connor's best friend or some shit. No, this was, I was in L.A., and one of my friends put a picture up of me, and then he wrote to him, like, I'm going to fight him and box him.

And then the kid was like, yo, look what he said. And I was, like, a little bit drunk, and he was like, say something back to him. I was like, yeah, I'll fight him, whatever, I don't care. And then after that, he posted, and it just started there. there so but yeah he's the one that wanted to do it is this a thing that you want to do are you is there ever a point in your mind where you're like actively like i should pursue this yeah i want to i do want to in the beginning i didn't want to be huge for clout like you knocked out jake paul but the thing in my head was like okay he's not i'm gonna fight or he's a youtuber and all this and i was like i don't want to do it but then the amount of shit

that he's talked like you can't be saying stuff to that like like that to a fighter. He's a YouTuber and all this. And I was like, I don't want to do it. But then the amount of shit that he's talked. Like, you can't be saying stuff like that to a fighter. He needs to learn his lesson. I feel like I should give him a lesson. So I kind of want to do it and just beat the shit out of him. It's a thing that could happen. It's a lot of money, too. When I was talking, they were offering like $5 million each and stuff. Holy shit.

It's only that him and him. I don't know. I was supposed to talk to Nars. But they made a lot of money. So it's a lot of and him I don't know I was supposed to talk to Nars but they made a lot of money so it's a lot of money for him clearly they sold

out that arena and there were like 800,000 people watching and Deji is the kicking forward yeah I mean he's not even close to as good

as promoting as I am so imagine the numbers it would be well clearly yeah that would be huge I would like to see Bellator let that happen even if we could get

it in a cage Jake Paul talks all this shit I talked to him in person and I was like he was like no he would tap me in a few. Jake Paul talks all this shit about being a wrestler. I talked to him in person. He was like, no, you would tap me in a few seconds. I can't. It was just box.

He knows. He's not as stupid as he comes off as. He's actually not. He's a turd. So you called yourself a great troll, I would agree. You're like a master troll. Yeah. You said you were a troll all growing up, trolling teachers, this, that, the next thing.

Did you get anything from Conor in a business sense? Have you ever had a sit-down with Conor and he kind of like not shows you the ropes, but he's the greatest to ever do it as far as I'm concerned, as far as promoting fights? Does he give you advice in that way? You're so good at promoting fights. This is your second professional fight, and it's the fight that everyone is talking about on this card, even though Machida and Chael sonnen is the main event yeah so like do you have talks with connor about that kind of stuff i mean yeah obviously i mean i've been friends with him for so long so we had talks about everything and you know obviously marketing

and everything like that um but one thing i try to like steer away from because he's so good at it and i want to you know take his head but the way he does it is his own way you know like it's hard for anybody else to kind of be like how he is and you know so i like to do it my like he's not a troll like me you know that's kind of my style and he has his own style so obviously we talk about the like you know certain things intricacies but not like that kind of stuff because obviously he has his own style of it you know maybe we'll go back and forth about certain things are funny that we think is funny um but uh you like run tweets by him sometimes? You're like, oh, I think that's this. Yeah, I mean, I have, obviously, I'm like, who do you think this is funny, right?

And obviously, you know, I mean, he's one of my close friends, so everybody does that with their friends. Yeah. But yeah, I believe he has his own style, and I have my own style, so it's kind of like good yin and yang, and obviously we pass ideas through each other, mostly me. On the flip side, on the non-talking shit side what modern fighters are you looking at and you're going i like to watch them fight because i see you live tweet ufc events sometimes you know you're tweeting about masvidal uh pettis like who excites you and as a fighter that

is coming from the jujitsu world transitioning into mma is like i would like to emulate like take a few things from them them them um more like who do I like to watch and who my fans are. Some people obviously I don't have the same style as, but I do like Stylebender. He's very good. He's very cool to watch. Who else? There's a bunch. I was always a big fan of Overeem.

I like watching Overeem fight. Oh, yeah? Yeah. He told me that. He said some people just don't know how to fight about me. So I wrote him off for good. Yeah. Because I, you know, Caitlin Shukagian trains in New Yorkork yeah of course bonfire yep yeah we had a fight um she tapped

me 19 times in four minutes and uh over him said i couldn't fight so he was bullshit no he watched the video i mean you should probably fight him probably a better fight me versus over a better fight than you and bonfire i take his head off i'm putting it out there right now i take over him's head off like Francis Ngannou. Like that knockout, that kind of knockout, I'd just come way up. Were you and Francis? Oh, yeah, but there's, I mean, obviously there's tons of people. How many times do you think you'd tap me in four minutes?

Just curious. A lot. A lot. Triple digits? Probably. All right. Probably more than that, to be honest. Damn.

Another guy that could tap a lot of people, Krohn Gracie. Yeah. Another thing that I spoke to Max Holloway about his eyeball earth theory have you heard about this no he said the earth is flat

no so kind of I saw you tweet that the earth is flat recently I couldn't tell if you were trolling if that's something

you're into when you fly why don't you just go off what when you're flying if it was round you would just go

straight into the atmosphere I think the plane also curves with the earth did you watch the flat earther documentary so here's the thing the the crone gracie theory that i wanted to discuss with you because i think it's the funniest shit in the world i think it's super interesting he thinks we live on an eyeball so if you picture like an eyeball looking up he's like there's a flat line in the middle of the eyeball yeah so it looks like a circle from the outside but we live on a flat surface within the eyeball and i like to say it's crone's eye and we're all living in it but you're actually you're actually a flat earth guy yeah not too much but i have thought about a couple theories but i never thought about

the high pole theory i never heard that before i i didn't know if i didn't know if it was like a jujitsu thing like a bunch of jujitsu guys are just like, yeah, earth is flat, of course. Like, why are we on the ground all the time rolling around? He's the conspiracy theory. Eddie Bravo is a wild man. You talked to Eddie Bravo? You guys cool? I've trained with him before.

We still text here and there. I mean, he's always been nice to me. Have you done the EBI stuff? No, I'm not a fan of it. No? I was supposed to do it a long time ago, but I don't like the rule set. But you are going back into jiu-jitsu coming up. Yeah, I want to.

But this money hasn't been right, and then the opponents, I want someone to be like. Has the weight been an issue? Dude, not an issue, but. No. I could make any weight. I mean, I'm just, I've been eating good because I've been suspended for seven months, but I could make any weight. You used to not eat good, though, right? Yeah, no, no, no.

Just like cheeseburgers all day? I mean in the sense I'm eating good in that sense. Like, I'm still eating good, but in a bad way. When I mean eating good, I'm eating pizza every day. That's eating good for me. Oh, oh, oh. When you say eating good, I figure you're finally eating healthy, but you don't need that. You just have to go out.

Yeah, I don't either. No plans to eat healthy. I mean, when I have to diet, I have to, but after that, I'm going to go back to eating when I want. I mean, if you lose a fight because of a cheeseburger, you know, you shall also fight anyway. You know, who was it? Mayweather used to do Burger King before every fight. That's what I'm saying. It doesn't matter about the food.

I mean, if you train hard enough, it'll be fine. All right. Something that I don't hear you speak about often is your tattoos. Yeah. I think you got some of the coolest tattoos in the MMA game. Thank you. Your whole sleeve. Is that a whole stick and poke sleeve? Yeah one with this side is yeah yeah it's all

stick and poke it's terrible where did you get that done invisible in new york no no i have one on my arm that's from invisible i should have two i have one here and then one here but this guy's like a kind of like independent contractor you know he does his own thing he's from japan how long did the whole sleeve take stick and poke style still not even done but it's been like two or three years it takes forever i regret it once i went i was like man this takes so long the first time you did it were you like i should have just gotten needle because apparently if you do it with the the machine it's like a week so it's been two three years at this but it that the color does pop and i really liked it because like uh the yakuza used to do it and like that

was like their thing and and and i don't know mentally i was like man i felt like i was like and this guy used to do yakuza and like and i thing and I don't know mentally I was like man I felt like I was like and this guy used to do Yakuza and I felt like a fucking samurai or something like you know back in

I don't know it just made me feel like a certain type of way so I actually do like it and I actually wouldn't change for anything but it does suck and it's so painful

and so long I was gonna say isn't it more painful than getting a regular tattoo because they're just like hammering that shit in it's terrible that sounds horrible

it is like I would you have one video of it on your Instagram yeah and i watched that and i was just like this guy's a fucking lunatic yeah i mean the pain is and i never like i had people say like take take the cream or like there's creams that you don't feel the test like anything numbing yeah and then there's obviously people get drunk and stuff and i was like no i'm not gonna do it because like when i have it one day i want to be like i felt it all so this whole sleeve is is pretty traditional japanese style like that's because you thought it was cool that the yakuza had it yeah i like When I have it one day, I want to be like, I felt it all. So this whole sleeve is pretty traditional Japanese style.

Like, that's because you thought it was cool that the Yakuza had it. Yeah, I like the backstory on it. And, like, they said, too, back then, like, if you don't feel the pain, you don't deserve it. And I remember hearing that, and I was like, okay, you have to, you know, you have to deal with it. And then what's the other sleeve? Is there just cool stuff? I like that. Connor, all Connor's tattoos, when people are like, what's the meaning?

He's like, it looks cool. Some of them I have like that. Yeah, I dig when people are just, what's the meaning? He's like, it looks cool. Some of them I have like that. Yeah, I dig when people are just like, it looks cool. Girls are like, are you crazy? It just looks cool? There's no meaning? Because they get one little thing and it has a meaning behind it. Yeah, they get an infinity sign on their wrist.

They can't understand getting a tattoo. They're like, oh my God, it represents everything about me. A lot of people can't understand having a tattoo. They get freaked out. That's crazy, man. I mean, I dig him. So finally, to wrap things up, lay out your ideal 2019. I know you want to be more active in the cage.

If I'm saying Dylan Danis at the end of the year, looking back at 2019, what did you want to accomplish? What did you want on your resume? What was this year for you? I want to get at least one or two more fights in. We'll see. It depends on the damage I take. But, yeah, I just want to keep fighting.

After New York? Yeah. I would say after, but you just never know with whatever happens. But I just want to keep fighting more because being off seven months was terrible. I've got three or four fights in those seven months. You never know. So I just want to keep fighting. I want to keep pushing forward know, just pushing forward.

Maybe get that Jake Paul fight. We'll see what happens. That Jake Paul fight. That's the fight that I want to see, honestly. I want to see you against a lot of people. I just think it would be very interesting. I would honestly want to see it in the octagon because I would like to see how quickly you could tap him.

Coker said he would do that. So it is possible, but I don't think he has the balls to do it. Neither do I. Did you see Artem Lobov's bare-knuckle fight? I did. Crazy. Crazy fight. That was a word.

I just had to touch on that before we get you out of here because his face is still mangled from it. I'm not going to understand how guys are going to keep doing those fights. Your skin, it's just... Yeah, I don't get it. The scar tissue on your knuckle. It takes a certain kind of breed to do this. Obviously, you've got him versus Pauly.

I'm so excited for this. It's going to be a good promotion for the fight and everything because they both can talk. You got to get in Artem's corner for that. You and Artem going up against Pauly would be trash talk city. Yeah, it would be awesome. All right. Dylan Danis, thank you for coming on the show.

Thanks for having me, man. Dylan Danis, the greatest troll in all of mixed martial arts, probably the greatest heel as well. Conor McGregor's teammate, one of the greatest jiu-jitsu artists in the world, and a fighter in Bellator who will be fighting at Madison Square Garden on June 14th. You could buy tickets to that now. Thanks for coming on the show, Dylan. Before I get out of here, I do want to touch on a few things, have a few notes. One is UFC 236, which took place over this weekend. I got a bunch of you hitting me up and saying, you better touch on this on the podcast, and how could I not?

Because we had two instant classic fights, one of which, Stylebender Israel Adesanya versus Kelvin Gastelum, the co-main event of this weekend's fights this was one of the greatest fights i've ever seen and i'm not using hyperbole or exaggerating in the slightest it was an absolute war we had you know stylebender getting dropped in the first dropping kelvin in the second dropping him four times overall kelvin coming back and just having like this vicious vicious left hook that was terrifying every time he threw it stylebender finding his groove along the way, showing the heart that he has, showing his takedown defense, showing his ground game, which was light years above where I thought it was, and winning the interim middleweight championship.

It was like an emotional fight. It was one of those fights where I was shaking. I had goosebumps by the end of it. It reminded me a little bit of my favorite fight of all time, which was Robbie Lawler versus Rory McDonald 2 from UFC 189. It was just an all-time classic, and everyone knew it immediately after it was over. It was like a fun thing to experience on Twitter with everybody, just all virtually looking around at each other and being like, we just watched one of the greatest fights of all time, and it's not even the main event.

The main event was then Max Holloway versus Dustin Poirier for the interim lightweight championship, another fight that went five rounds, another war where it looked like Max Holloway was going to be finished in the first by Dustin Poirier, who he was honestly just so much bigger and so much more powerful, where both of them were teeing off on each other at different points in the fight. And by the end of it, Max Holloway looked like he had been through hell and back, and Dustin Poirier wasn't even that banged up.

It might be a case of Max Holloway just being a smaller guy. It was, I believe, the first time in a match where we could have seen a double champion where the smaller guy didn't lose didn't win usually the smaller guy is faster and crisper we saw McGregor move up to 155 to challenge Eddie Alvarez we saw um Daniel Corneille move up to heavyweight to challenge Stipe Miocic we saw Henry Cejudo versus TJ Dillashaw TJ Dillashaw actually moving down and the smaller guy was faster and more powerful. We saw the opposite of that, where it was just a game of size almost, and Dustin Poirier, man, what a stretch he's been on. One of the greatest stretches ever, his last few opponents, Eddie

Alvarez, Justin Gaethje, Anthony Pettis, and finally Max Holloway. And I tweeted this, after the fight, the two competitors, the two warriors in involved in the main event showed each other so much respect. It was a beautiful thing to see. And I know I was the biggest Conor guy in the world in the build up to UFC 229 and the aftermath of it and all. But seeing this really reminds me why I fell in love with this sport in the first place, why I think this sport is more than just barbaric human cockfighting, and I would love for things to very much lean in this direction as opposed to the crazy hostile direction that McGregor and Habib have gone down. McGregor afterwards tweeted that Dustin would get Nate next and he would get Habib next. That should not

happen. It should absolutely not happen. I don't want to see McGregor versus Habib too. I don't think it should happen. I don't definitely don't think it should happen next. I think Dustin Poirier versus Habib, September Abu Dhabi. That's the fight to make. Make McGregor versus Nate if you want to do it. Make McGregor versus Gaethje if you want to do it. Do something with McGregor if he does want to fight that does not disrupt the title picture, which he does not deserve to be in right now. That's just me calling it down the middle. But yeah, fantastic, fantastic weekend of fights and fantastic weekend overall at Star Wars Celebration. It truly is my favorite place in the world. If you haven't listened to our trailer breakdown podcast we did with Clem and Ken Jack,

please go back and listen to that because I had a blast and you could really hear it in all of our voices that it was just like that insanely joyous, hopeful optimism about Star Wars that I love so much that I always have. And some fans, you know, go in and out of, but I was on, on cloud city about the whole weekend. And so many people came up to me and mentioned my mom's basement. I got so many people on the celebration floor, which shocked me. We were saying like, I think my cameraman, John actually said to me, he was like, do you think people will recognize you at Star Wars celebration? Cause it happens, you know, here and there. But I was like, I don't know about Star Wars celebration. I said, I don't know what the crossover is between stoolies and Star Wars

fans. I figure everyone is a Star Wars fan, but hardcore enough to go to Celebration I didn't know and there were a ton of stoolies at Star Wars Celebration and those who came up to me and mentioned My Mama's Basement mentioned that they enjoyed the show and and they were excited about future episodes and stuff like that that meant the world to me it was the first time where I really got to experience all the people talking to me about the show the show that I've been building in the back of my mind for over a year that I finally get to do. And I'm finally so fortunate and lucky and just very happy to do this show. So that meant the world to me. Thank you so much. Thank you to Trent for coming on, breaking down Game of Thrones with me, talking about his amazing weekend with Tiger Woods, his favorite

golfer of all time, winning the Masters for the fifth time, breaking down Game of Thrones season eight premiere. And thank you to Dylan Danis for joining me and talking all things MMA in his world. That's it for me this week. I'm going to get some sleep because it has been some day of travel and some exhausting weekend and emotionally exhausting weekend because I just couldn't stop crying at how much I love Star Wars.
