pkn 316 so woody you know that i was unironically after the blues got out i was like please philly please stay in it i really was pulling for them i like i like that yeah of course like they're in the eastern conference easy peasy i can root for them we don't play that much and i like kata hot you know he's great the new goalie he's fantastic jer he's fantastic. I want to see him succeed. And I saw so many Philly fans pissed. So, Kyle, Philly made it to the second round against the New York Islanders, and the Islanders beat them game seven neck and neck series. Could have went anyone's way. The winner of that has to play the Tampa Bay Lightning,

who's an absolute buzzsaw right now. The Islanders lost 8-2 last night in game one against the lightning and the light so you watched a hockey game players tend to miss the net not every shot hits the net that's absurd the lightning didn't have a shot go wide until 58 and a half minutes in and by that point they were taking extra passes like their coach was clearly being like don't get them too wound up for game two. Don't a real fire under him kind of stop scoring a little bit. And I saw like Philly fans on the peak or not the hockey Reddit and onto the hockey Twitter being like, you know, guys, this is for the best.

This is for the best. Think about what a Philly made it. We're leaving with confidence. We went further than anyone. Who's better next year? The Islanders getting absolutely raped four games to nothing? Or us feeling good going further? And I was like, that's a really good mentality. That's prescience for the Philly fans.

You don't want the young players on the Philly team getting absolutely bullied by the Tampa Bay Lightning. Drew's their star player, right? How old is that guy now? He's my age. No, he's older than me. He's like 31, which is getting up there in hockey years. Right? That was where I was headed with that. I'm worried that... Look, it's time to make a run at the Cup or trade him for some younger players or something because you're just going to ride him out to first and second round exits. That's true. Maybe. I mean, he's still

in the age, though, where he's got a lot of playoff experience and i think that's helpful for your young guys where they're like they can kind of look to him and voracek and be like okay these guys they never won it but they know what the fuck's up they've been there and they've you know they've granted the philly team has ground against one of the best pittsburgh teams of all time every year for how long now like philly really got fucked with that malcolmin and Crosby. I feel like you're implying that Pittsburgh was good. They were very good.

Three cups in, what, nine years? That's pretty good. That's not how I remember it. A third of the time. But anyway, I got a real kick out of that with like, because I didn't picture Philly fans getting a lot of retweets and likes for being like, you know, let's keep a positive attitude. And I was like, okay, well, credit where credit's due, Philly fans.

Keeping your head up high. They've gone soft, Taylor. I don't like it. I guess. Yeah. I like how you always say that. You're like, this is bullshit. How come people aren't afraid to play the Flyers anymore?

They should be frightened. afraid to play the flyers anymore we should be frightened i just want like five fighters and a tough goalie out there they're just an awful team but they they entertain you their policy of hiring ex-ufFC champs has really paid off. I'm not focused on skating. Daniel Cormier waddles out there on his skates. Dude, how big is he going to get? Daniel Cormier, while he was a professional athlete, had an embarrassing physique in his heavyweight run, right?

On fight night, he had a bad bad physique but like 12 weeks before that on weigh-in day he had a bad physique he cut 10 pounds to weigh in did you know that yes i knew that he was on a diet with like lots of cardio and dieting for weeks and not two weeks or three weeks like 12 weeks or something of dieting and cardio leading up to that fight. He only lost 10 pounds in 12 weeks? No, no, no. He had to cut 10 pounds. That means dehydrate 10 pounds.

He dehydrated 10 pounds so that he wouldn't look so terrible on weigh-in day. And then on fight night, he was 10 pounds. Heavyweights don't cut. Maybe this isn't clear. Heavyweights don't cut. This isn't clear heavyweights don't you know this guy weighs you have to weigh 265 or less he weighs 250 but he's like oh my god i'm gonna take my shirt off in front of all these people no fucking way i'm gonna stop drinking

i'm gonna cut i'm gonna they bring out they bring out the fucking rings and the curtain but he's he's still got all the clothes on they're just for shame he's 15 pounds underweight but they cover his body so you don't see his boobies that's hilarious he's he's even saying he's like oh i gotta cut out drinking and beer like that kind of stuff no i imagine that's like a standard boiler plate thing for it's about weight right cake and fried chicken like those are his he's not really it's all about he made a music video once it's it's it's him dancing in his underwear it's like it's all about that cake about that cake and chicken it's all about that cake about that cake and chicken and he's like we watch a moment of it oh i i watch the whole fucking thing it's only a minute and a half i

feel like it's worth yeah link it up let's watch the suit got it half. I feel like it's worth it. Yeah, link it up. Let's watch the suit. Got it. I watch it frequently. It's great. I know for a second. I like it too. I feel like it says something good about him in kind of an able to laugh at himself sort of way. Are you guys ready? His facial profile looks good here. We'll see though.

This is when he was much lighter. He was a 205 pounder in this thing. What are you guys doing? Even this, you will get to see him. This is like fight shape for him. And this is not what you even this like you will get to see him this is like fight shape for him and this is not what professional athletes look like ready set play because you know i'm all about that cake about that cake and chicken i'm all about that yeah this is the best dc you'll find that's the best dc i've ever that you ever saw this is prime dc I mean, you gotta go back to his collegiate wrestling

to see much better than this. I mean, he looks strong as shit, but why does he express himself? And I can throw you. I got that boom boom that all the fighters chase. All the right punches in all the right places. He is literally one of the best fighters

in history. Yeah. He's an incredible skill set. His low center of gravity, the fact that he is this heavy, are honestly, no joke, huge assets. But on top of that, one of the top two or three wrestlers who ever fought in the UFC and probably top, definitely top ten hands boxing skills that was ever in the UFC.

He was incredible. And he fought at least one, maybe two weight classes above his prime weight. Dude, this Popeye's looks so good. Just watching him eat essentially. Look, he's got the fun fetish. Those aren't my weaknesses. Oh, I really indulged on fried chicken, fried fish, fried frog legs this past weekend at my grandma's house. God, the amount of meat I ate.

You know those rancid lots of meat shits? No, I don't know those rancid lots of meat shits. You know when you go to your grandma's house and you know that there's limited real estate in your stomach and so you can't waste it on fiber. It needs to be ribs and fried chicken and fried fish and fried frog legs. They usually run me out of there because she's been dead for almost a decade. My grandparents died when I was a teenager. Well, one, I never met any of the grandfathers, and the grandmothers didn't live that long. It's my retirement plan.

Short lifespan. You guys didn't have to deal with the pounds taylor is the true victim in this scenario and she cooks way too much yeah yeah i've ate so many ribs last night, and I've still got so many more in my fridge. I just need to throw them away at this point. I just need to throw them away. I love ribs. Are there any other professional athletes who were clearly, like,

overweight like that and never, like, did anything about it? I can't think of any off the top of my head. All right. All right. UFC specific? Skip baseball. I was actually going to go to football but a lot of times you know those guys are they're in pushing contests and oh is it a negative i'm

thinking of a qb recently was it it was one of the black qbs not too long ago like like within the last five or six years i remember was a big boy um i can't think of his name. A big... It's a fat quarterback. Like, yeah. A big, fat, black quarterback. Like, not as overweight as DC, but still, it was like, whoa.

Ben Roethlisberger got pretty big by the end, I think. He's still going, I think. I don't watch a lot of NFL anymore. I used to watch – like, I do things like that in spurts. Like, there's definitely been NFL years where, I don't know, I watched 30 games, something like that. I'd watch all of the Falcons games, and plus, like,

I'd pick a second team, watch almost all of theirs. But that hasn't been me of late. I was talking about it before the show. I'm pumped for college football this year. I hope there is a college football season, and I'm looking forward to the Georgia Bulldogs. You feel like Georgia's a strong year for them, potentially? They're ranked fourth going into the preseason.

Their schedule is one of those schedules where it's not an easy schedule, but you don't want an easy schedule. You end up like Hawaii winning every single game and not getting to play for a title. In the SEC this year, I believe there are four teams in the top 11. UGA, Florida, Auburn, Alabama are all top 11. Is anyone higher than four? Yes.

Alabama's three. Clemson is ranked number one. ACC. ACC. Clemson, Ohio State, and Alabama. And then Georgia. Okay, that's a different poll than I was looking at. I may have been looking at AP.

Are you looking at Coach' poll for us? The first four are the same on AP and coaches. Alabama is three and Georgia is four, it sounds like. It may have updated in the last hour or something. I looked at it earlier today. Anyway, Georgia was fourth last time I looked. But the teams that are ahead of them are the teams that we traditionally lose to, like

Alabama. But Alabama's on our schedule this year. Week two, we play Auburn, who are ranked 11th. And like week four, I think, off the top of my head, I think we play Alabama. And then we play Florida, who's ranked ninth.

Maybe like week six or something like that. Week seven. And you got your real challenge. Week seven, Mizzou. Coming off that Florida undoubtedly win. But every year by the time we get to Mizzou, it's like, alright boys, let's get our

butt fucking shoes on. Georgia is my favorite position for a sports team right i don't like being the favorite that's not my favorite i like being a contender you know and where they could win the favorites don't always win the favorites don't even often win you know it i keep saying it if you gave me i don't know at the start of the um bubble bringing back probably the bucks were favored to win it all. Bucs are not going to make it to the championship.

If you give me every other team against the best one, I'd take every other every time. Georgia is one of those teams. They're in it. They're in it. They're a contender. And if there's a – I'll make it up. The best quarterback prospect coming out of high school,

Georgia's a school he'll consider. You're in it. You don't even know. They have four five-star quarterbacks this year. Oh, good. Yeah, I did not know that. They have four five-star quarterbacks. Georgia is on the top of the list for prospects.

They're on that very short list of people that might win the championship. They're fun to watch. NC State is that like, I hope we get our number next to a name at some point this season 23rd baby and then we lost that's where mizzou is it'll be like 21 all right we lost exactly 21 is a little ambitious but i get the idea what a game if you want to know what rank NC State is,

you typically have to start counting in that other teams receiving votes area. That's how we know. Yeah, that's our world. You're right about one thing for sure. It is really nice being a Georgia fan because perennially, every single year we begin the season in the top five and you know in recent memory it seems like maybe we might lose a game in the first half of the year maybe drop to just out of the top 10 but then rally by the end of the year and end up right

back in the top five and it's like oh man if this team loses then we might have a chance of getting into like the top four or maybe even in the championship game. You never know if people lose and this and that happens. But they always have a fighting chance, for sure. I like that. I would love to see a nice Georgia Bulldogs championship banner making that trio behind you.

But, I mean, good news for Mizzou, season opener versus Alabama. I wonder if Mizzou gets paid for that yes i was about to say god knows what they paid mizzou for that do they get paid because mizzou's sec i would imagine they're just like nope you got to do it bitch you got to just let alabama run over you all they can hope is like all right guys it's been a long off season they might have forgot how to play football. They might have forgotten how to play football. We're hoping they were counting on the season getting canceled. That's called a flying V.

We're borrowing it from Mighty Ducks. Dude, Alabama just has this team every single year that is just a slobber knocker of a fucking – just so fucking good. And so does Clemson since dabbo sweeney took over i i i was i was listening to a lot of clemson um uh sports radio back in the day when dabbo took over and and i can still remember on the what is it marked out the humus show or something like that i can't think of his name it's something silly but they were just like we don't know about

this guy you know we don't know if he's gonna be able to do what we want like fucking seven eight years later they're every just national titles and every year they're just right there top one top two top three team and again this year preseason number one in the country yeah clemson went from maybe in the top 25 to like yeah we're gonna win again this year the acc always has one team that we hang our respectability on like if it's not them sometimes the seminoles will get it done um and if it's not them then they're like hey duke's good though no no no i tried it i feel like there's a third team that's sometimes competitive. I'm not coming up with it, though.

Florida? Is Florida ACC? FSU. Oh, that's the Seminoles. Yeah. That was the first one I came up with. Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, Miami.

Not lately, but they can be good sometimes. Yeah. I'm really looking forward to it, though. I hope that COVID doesn't fuck up the season for those guys. I don't give a fuck about professional sports because, like, they're grown men. They can come back next year, play again in almost all the cases. They've probably got insured contracts or something like that. They're probably still getting fucking paid.

But, you know, with college football, if it's canceled, I don't know what that's doing to high school recruits who have had their entire childhood dreams vested on getting the scholarship to this school or that school. And then some of these guys are really great collegiate athletes, but they're never going to play in the pros. So they might be a Hank Hill, you know,

where like, what, what, what we do tonight echoes in eternity. Well, we're not doing anything tonight because of, of a real bad flu. No,

no, no, I don't, I feel like it's not even the football team so much as it is the ncaa or what like the the ecosystem saying this is an expensive production to put on we can't do it without fan money you know they don't want to do it normal or did i maybe i heard something bad i thought the nfl was planning like yeah yeah, we're going to, for now, we're planning on doing it normal.

People can come. Yet my suspicion is that that's kind of a game time decision, right? So I have been wrong on every Corona prediction I've made thus far. I said that it would die out over the summer because you don't get the flu much in the summer. And, you know, duh, right? Turns out the worst months seem to be july and either june july or july and august like you know that was and now it's like sort of trending

down a bit now i'm hearing that it's going to get bad come flu season that like november and october are going to be bad and i'm like wait i could have sworn you told me the opposite we were just in flu season yeah so i i don't know what to expect um but i would guess that if we've had one flu season yet my guess is if it starts to spike again football's canceled but we'll see yeah i don't know we'll do it like nba nhl you mean like well like no for pro maybe because they maybe i don't know i don't know because i know the tv contracts are a big deal in college too but it's been my observation they seem to really care about like the ticket sales and stuff you I don't know. I don't know. Because I know the TV contracts are a big deal in college, too. But it's been my observation.

They seem to really care about the ticket sales and stuff. They have 60,000 seat arenas. 80,000. 80,000. Okay. Yeah. College football. Ticket sales are a big deal.

Whereas when hockey loses it, it's... Yeah. It's like three times as many people as you can fit in a hockey or basketball stadium so yeah it's they usually share it's deafening when when sanford stadium is full of people like you drive by it and you just hear oh i bet it lights the sky too i bet they do oh yeah it's like a beacon yeah it's a and and like forget the 70 000 people who are in the stadium i don't know what sanford holds i know some of the college stadiums hold 80. but um like it it springs up these parties outside like there's so many people tailgating who are like watching on tvs in the parking lot that's where the phone is and then just like in every bar in athens is full of people like right

then watching the thing it's a horrible idea to have a college football season it's a horrible idea but i don't care i'm watching it from right fucking here i so right now the state's doing the worst are like the dakotas and the ones that had sturgis and i had heard that like daylight outdoor is not a super bad environment for covid that like the sunlight kills it and and but it turned out it was a big spreading event so like football especially night games like it seems like the science says that's bad, but we'll see. Hopefully it just keeps downtrending. We'll see. Everyone's cheering. You're so right. I don't know.

Oh, man. And you're packed in there too, like fucking sardines. And it's just, it's such a bad idea to have a college football season, but I don't care. I want it anyway. I'm not going. I wouldn't go. I want it on my TV.

I want it on my TV. And I don't care if they don't have fans. If they can afford to put it on without fans, then I'm happy to watch it. It's not like they're paying any of the student athletes. I mean, they would recoup some of the losses by doing it without fans. I'd like to hear your thoughts on

hockey, but in basketball, no fans has changed things a bunch. So what happens is when basketball players shoot normally against this backdrop of people waving noodles and screaming and heckling and stuff basketball scores have gone up a ton three point percentages have gone up notably like the offenses are hot in the bubble um it's basically practice like even these like shack bad free show through to right like 50 you hit 80 and 90 in practice these guys are shooting like it's practice because there's no

hecklers no waving noodles they're dead games totally easy now every game is in the same place and apparently like you know that helps them right instead of like going to some road game where everything is kind of foreign to them they practice on the courts they play that night and so has hockey been impacted by the lack of fans in a way like that uh they do the like they have like fake fan sounds the way they do but yeah that's dope there have been a couple goalies where like goalies probably the most mental position in hockey where like you let up a softy and it's just like oh my god i fucking suck everybody's mad at me like your own like fans aren't aren't pleased with you there have been a couple goalies that never had like

breakouts our backup jake allen we traded him to montreal now but he had such mental problems one of the most athletic goalies in the league for years and years could like all the physical promise of it, but like he would let up a softy and suddenly you could see him kind of shut down and get panicky. He had never played better than when he played in front of no one. Like even when he would let one in, it bounced right back. And so I imagine everybody's known for the longest time that Jake Allen's

problem was mental, not physical. And so having no fans for some of these players has helped a lot. Some of these like fourth line grinders, you know, it always happens during the playoffs where there's like hidden heroes. But some of these people are getting like their first sniff of the NHL. They've never played in front of crowds that size. And so I imagine it's almost like a buffer period where it's like, OK, I'm it's kind of nice not having to deal with a roaring crowd and a playoff game when I'm used to coming from an AHL game where nobody really gives a shit unless it's the playoffs.

And so, yeah, I think that same thing is happening. Like those unexpected players who are usually intimidated. Like imagine, I don't know how the NBA works, but like NHL, it's like,

Hey, this guy hurt his ankle. He's out for two games. You're up. It's like, fuck. Okay. I'm 24.

If they send me back down after this my career is over like you know it's the playoffs like what am i gonna do i gotta make but i can't be getting fancy i can't be trying to create plays or they'll get me in trouble and think that i'm fighting off more you know like balance and all that i imagine at least for me i would be able to handle it way better without a crowd so it is interesting to see how that's all working it's a similar thing in basketball but it's usually just more minutes you know like uh taylor's down they're gonna put woody who normally plays nine minutes a game is gonna get 22 okay who's how far are they in the basketball right now are they in the quarter finals semi conference finals i think it's the conference finals now who's the favorite is it

lakers one before i think it's one before their conference finals on the west the lakers and clippers were the favorite uh the lakers are kind of struggling the clippers are crushing it in the east the bucks were the favorite they're getting their asses kicked and um i guess there was really just one favorite in the east it's a fun story this uh so jimmy butler he was a sixer last year and uh he's like not i don't know how to call him like a second tier superstar like he'd be the best player on a not good team and like they're like oh so you go to the heat how do you feel like you know most of the other guys of your caliber are partnering up with stars miami doesn't really have a star and he's's like, motherfucker, I'm right here. What do you mean Miami doesn't star?

I just got here. And all season long, he did fine. You know, maybe not even a great Jimmy Butler year. And then the playoffs come. Oh, my God. He's on fire. He is just wrecking what could be the best team in the league who's probably going to be two-time mvp

this year and jimmy butler is butt fucking them and like almost single-handedly like taking over fourth quarters and stuff it's uh it's neat to see and i kind of like him he has a youtube channel so you get to know him a little bit and uh he's a it's been a good playoff season good yeah i mean it's not the same without the fans, obviously, but better this than no sports. It might be. I might think it's better. I don't know. It's maybe just different.

I was hoping that some of the lesser sports, the stuff you see late night ESPN, would step forward. Bowling or darts. Billiards, darts billiards darts bowl yeah yeah bowling uh stuff like that that people will be like ah yeah i could be a bowling fan that's my bowler i'm team whatever a bowling company is i don't know big man the driving sports maybe

yeah what do you say driving or riding i said driving like formula one it gets on my reddit all the time so it's in my head i don't know why it is so does soccer i think it's the european audience of uh of reddit you know like like pumping it up like during the nighttime hours when when they're when the when the cats are asleep on the in north america or something like that because like i don't have any interest in those things but i recognize they're globally massive but like formula one especially doesn't appeal to me i don't know something about nascar is kind of cool to me just going in those fucking circles over and over and like i i kind kind of like that. They're like a lot of them anyway,

like traditionally, especially that they're all a bunch of hillbillies. And, uh, you know, it's, it just seems like sort of like a tough guy sport a little bit. They just seem like good old boys who have way too much money.

And, uh, and I kind of like that. I just like to go fast. I kind of like that about it. Whereas like you hear one of these F1 drivers speak and it's like, ah, then me and this guy wouldn't get along.

I'm in between. I like that. NASCAR's NASCAR cars are more equal, right? So they're supposed to be stocked. They're supposed to be all the same, but obviously they're not actually all equal, but they're at least the intent is that everyone drives the same car and the best driver wins

that's the idea there did i say the best car everyone drives the same car and the best driver wins in formula one that's not the case this team has all the budget you know like i'll exaggerate woody could win in this car it's so much better than the than the next one along and i wish we could combine them i wish it was a road course which to me is a more interesting watch and stock cars well those exist they do that they do road courses in nascar oh yeah they do but i it would you call it 10 of the the races? Yeah, maybe. I haven't watched in years. I always liked Jeff Gordon.

Everybody else hated him. I'm surprised. Okay. Everybody hated Jeff Gordon. He's not popular in Georgia. He's gay. Because he drives the rainbow car. The rainbow warrior, he called himself.

Meanwhile, he's got his badass wife. He lives in California, and his car is sponsored by DuPont paint. You assholes. Of course, it's rainbow. What's that, French? Oh, la-di-da. Bear's not good enough. I need DuPont.

Not house paint. That's why it looks so terrible. I tell people I got the shiniest house. It'd be funny. Oh, enough reflection on the garage doors enough to startle you. Pearlescent white, they call it. Yeah, I always liked Jeff Gordon.

You know, he was really good. He won a lot. He seemed particularly good at the road courses. uh you know he he was really good he won a lot he and he was he seems particularly he seemed particularly good at the road courses if he could be like guys look they're all picking on me for the rainbow thing could could i not be the black warrior right doesn't that sound cool to you the red warrior it's got to be rainbow now i wanted to show off that paint job man it wasn't carl i liked it i like the paint job on the car i like that he was the rainbow just to show off that paint job, man. It wasn't good. I liked it. I liked the paint job on the car. I liked that he was the rainbow warrior.

Was the car just to show off all the ways you could paint? Like all the different colors? Not necessarily, but the car was just a bunch of different colors. I'll show you a picture of it. It's just called the Jeff Gordon Rainbow Car. That'll do it. Yeah. Oh, this isn't as bad as i was thinking that's very bright yeah the traditional

one is the one you know it's got the big dupont oval in the on the front of the hood and uh you know it's just rainbows it's red and yellow and blue and green and shit um yeah that's not bad looking i mean it's i mean i don't know shit about racing sports but i feel like they're supposed to be really bright really kind of everybody and you know the fan favorite was dale earnhardt jr because his daddy died and he was so good and he was dale earnhardt was great darn jr always sucked he always sucked he was always this mediocre fucking driver that everybody liked because he was good looking and his father did it and they liked a story he was mediocre i'm glad you said that okay i thought it was the only one that thought that they're all they always act like dale arnold jr was this i don't know like he was at the top of the game he was the most marketable nascar driver yeah name recognition sure sure but and i

agree with you good looking young he had a cool he had the story with his dad uh the legacy all that stuff uh but i didn't have the wins no not at all not at all and i mean kyle petty was in a similar situation with his dad was a great uh richard petty was a great race car driver and then kyle petty was but kyle petty looks like this goober of a hippie with a ponytail and shit it's like ah we can't sell anything with that guy when i was a kid there was a nascar driver his name was dick trickle yeah dude i fucking love espn would always tell you how he did they'd be like you know dale leonard first rainbow warrior second this guy there and in 27th place dick trickle and like

they wouldn't cover all 20 they would just be sure to include how dick trickle did every race it was funny good for dick yeah i remember when dale yeah i remember when dale leonard died it was like a national tragedy in the south it was a big deal everywhere it was a big deal it was a big fucking deal and meanwhile i was just like you know like i mean i've never watched the nascar race i've seen that accident so many times and like one of my takeaways is i'm not very good at recognizing which ones are the bad ones and which ones aren't i know it's about the sudden stop like i'm not, but I see guys flip in the air 17 times, and I think, yikes, that seems kind of scary.

I know, but that accident that killed that, that Dale hurt, it didn't look that bad. It doesn't look that bad until you'll see, like, zoomed in and a little slow-mo on the angle he took when he hit the wall. Right. You know, he's going, like, close to 200 miles an hour, maybe 200. like zoomed in and a little slow-mo and the angle he took when he hit the wall right uh you know he's going like close to 200 miles an hour maybe 200 and uh they also now after that that really got everybody to start using the hans device uh that that you know it's a safety device inside

the car so it's almost got you like in this little suspension thing it's got your head sure it sort of keeps your head where it belongs so you don't whack it and break it. What car was Dale Earnhardt in? He was in the BF Goodrich number three. Oh, I just watched where he kind of goes whoop, whoop and then hits right in front of a different car that's like pushing him now into the grass. Yeah, I wouldn't have guessed this would be a fatal crash. Yeah.

Are you watching the right one he hits the wall yeah yeah he like he hits the wall in front of the yellow m&m guy and then the m&m guy like keeps going and just like they end up in the middle of the grass now the m&m guy's popping his head out but i guess dale earnhardt's dad yeah yeah like yeah that's not nearly as cataclysmic as i would have guessed right like there are like i get it i understand it's about the hard stop and the hans device like it but still on the surface there are safer accidents that look so much worse yeah it wasn't even an entertaining wreck that he died it's like yeah what insult to injury that was a boring wreck i wouldn't have even gotten called back from

the kitchen for that one and he died yeah i was bored by his death video i hated when i remember at some point they added these like flaps on the back of the car maybe they always had them but they just made them better or something there's these flaps on the back of the car taylor that when the car turns backwards, like if it's spinning and it starts moving with the rear going forward, these flaps pop up. And of course that slows the car down and gets it to sort of turn the other way.

I hated those. I hated those. Those prevented so many flips. There haven't been nearly as much fucking flipping crashes as there used to be since they introduced those. Back in the day, dude, these cars would start tumbling

and it was like Hot Wheels cars. Just like something out of a video game. They'd tumble eight, nine times before they came to rest. That's what you want. Was Lance Armstrong using training wheels? No, he was using performance enhancing drugs.

Idiot. And that made him a better biker. Still still you don't want to watch people bike that's ridiculous no no you don't yeah do you like racing sports how about the slowest mobility device at least with even horses it's like all right well it is a big animal it might get fucking spooked it might get spooked that's a good way to cut there was a clip on twitter I saw of like you know how people do like street painting and stuff there were these like two cops you know how in urban areas cops will ride horses like near parks

and stuff and it was like a gay flag on a crosswalk with like very vibrant rainbow colors and like you see these two cops just on the horse and like the horses are just doing they're like i look six feet ahead and wait for food or being told to stop move and it like gets up there and they're both walking together and they see the beginning of that rainbow and it scares the shit out of them we're like neither they're both like

i don't know i don't know about this it must be like fucking with their depth perception and they have to like winny and settle them down as they try and trot around the outside edge. So you never know. A horse could get spooked, and that could be entertaining. Jockey could get kicked in the head on the Kentucky racetrack. Their tiny little head. Yeah.

I like sports that are dangerous. I like sports that are dangerous where people... Look, I hate to say it, but if somebody dies occasionally, I'm going to watch. I'd watch a roulette on ESPN2. Oh, my God. That'd be so dark. But we'd watch it, right?

I would absolutely watch that. You know another thing that has potential that never gets tapped into? Demolition derbies. It's too safe. No, no. There's one guy on a bike. There's one guy on a bike it's like a rodeo riding he has to survive not eight seconds two minutes and then whoever kills the biker it wins taylor i have an idea it's yours but combine that with the movie running man right where the bicycle dude is a convict fighting for his life and if he survives the demolition derby they set him free we got a sport gentlemen i was literally about to say something very similar what i love

the idea that's good i was like i don't know if kyle's gonna like my convict idea i love the idea death row inmates and giving them a chance to both entertain us and potentially get some sort of freedom out of the whole thing you know you send them to to madagascar. Sure. Friends. That's not a real place. That's just a movie. It's true. That is true. Also, but dealer's choice. They get to pick the country. As long as it's not the United States of America.

Yeah, well, that probably wouldn't be legal. Well, this whole thing seems I don't think we're writing a whole lot of laws as we go. I would like that, though, if there was like, you know, multiple sports that used death row inmates. The Running Man, for one, I think is an amazing idea. I should read that book next. Who wrote that?

Is that Stephen King? I think that's Stephen King. I think it's Stephen King. I think it's Stephen King. I think I'll read that next, actually. I'm reading Salem's Lot right now, which is also Stephen King. It's the vampire. Do you read it with

a printed book or an audiobook? Audiobooks. Do you finish whatever you start? Yeah. I think I also do almost every time. I think it might be a mistake like if you give a book four hours and it sucks i should just be like all right what is this an endurance test there's 18 hours left why do i have to do this i'm better at finishing physical books than the audiobook because like if i start an audiobook there'll be times like i'm working out

and it's like oh there's a nice two-hour block it's like i don't want to listen to that i want some visual stimulus whereas like with a physical book it's it's it's relegated to that time you know it's like oh i'm gonna take a bath i'm gonna sit on my couch and read and i i don't know it's a mindset for me i get sidetracked on audiobooks. I listen in bed as I'm falling asleep. So I get in like an hour every night, something like that. Do you turn it off? Yeah. At some point, I start like drowsing and like falling out.

And I realize it. And so I pause the book. And at that point, I'm like in the zone to actually go to sleep. So I just go to sleep then. I don't think I have that skill set. I'm almost positive. I'd be like, all right, Woody, what's the last thing you remember? It honestly just works out because like it's almost like my sleepy mind is still taking in the book and processing it.

Even if I do get to like that point where I'm kind of unconscious, like I'm never out of the loop. I'm like, I press play again. And within five you know five seconds i'm like yeah that's what was happening okay we're back we're back have you guys been watching the boys i'm i'm gonna start friday i wanted four episodes instead of three so the first three episodes taylor of season two came out at once and uh it comes out every friday so what you've watched a bit of it? The first three episodes, I've seen them. Good, bad, drop off from last season? I heard dark.

I would say it's good. I'm thinking before I talk so there's no spoilers. Cool. You see Starlight in her underwear. I was down for that. I got her nude somewhere if you want to. You don't if you did you'd put them in the discord i was pretending like he's looking for it he's just control screen capping his

uh yeah anyway i'm really liking it i don't know where it's going i don't i haven't looked to see if it tracks with the comics still. There was some small diversions in the first season, but I don't know that it well enough for the second. Gift Delivery Network. Ooh. What is this from? Driven.

Mine's still loading. Yeah. It'll take a moment. She's not bottomless but i'll accept it it's better than you get from the boys so far i remember her boobs being bigger in the first season am i crazy i guess i mean they just look bigger because they're in a you know a top they it seemed like first season they wanted the viewer to think she was busty and in the second season they popped that balloon there's even a brief thing where they uh they like take the pad she's like getting undressed and you see her like put her bra on and then put like the pads that you know like boost her up and fill out the bra and it's

like oh they like they they laid that out on purpose her boobs are not what they say they are whereas in the first season i felt like they were saying they were a terrible episode it's just a flat i think i'm not even watching way too much attention to her boobs i don't think anyone else is like what is this there's more to the show my follow as well um but yeah i'm digging it uh it's a really good show i'll stop i i really like season one uh it seems like it hasn't even been a year yet and here season two is and uh that ties into something i was i'm sorry did i cut you off i was gonna say i'm you know excited to start i i feel like entertainment at least big movies

have been shut down like the maverick that's what they're calling the new top gun right would that be out by now oh yeah like they're just james bond would have been out by now um a lot of movies got either pushed and uh they got pushed because of either release or production right there's some that are just sitting in the can right now and they're like And they got pushed because of either release or production, right? There's some that are just sitting in the can right now. And they're like, we spent $175 million fucking dollars on this. We're going to lose $100 million if we release this to like on demand. Like we don't have the distribution like Disney does.

We're hanging on toney does we're hanging on to this we're hanging on to this we'll we'll do february of some year is there an at-home business model like i might pay five dollars to like louis ck did it that's where that's where my head was i didn't say the words but louK. is like, look, what can we do with this special? I can sell it to Netflix. I can own it myself. I can keep all the rights. I can put it on my own website.

And you pay $2, $5, et cetera. I am sure that Louis C.K. isn't getting, we'll make it in the middle, like $3.50 a watch off of Netflix. There's no way. Absolutely not. Yeah. So if he's getting that off his own website it's it's insanely profitable oh yeah he did really well with that like i remember when that was a big story that everybody was so paranoid metallica style of being like everybody's gonna steal my

music everybody's gonna steal everything and i'll make 60 on my special and he said no and he was really the first one the first huge name to do that and he made it went gangbusters like so many people ended up being like you know what that's that's pretty stand-up move of you the distribution is the thing woody because like uh i mentioned like the the studios might say oh what you know we don't have the distribution that disney does disney can do that and make money because they've already got their own network they've already got already got they don't have to pay anyone else no one else gets a chunk of that yeah they can remake anything well like what they're doing with mulan for example like mulan is this huge production that would have gone to theaters and instead they're releasing it on demand to i saw that

to huge controversy because the star uh had said those things in support of the hong kong police and uh it's it's it's a whole thing oh i don't give a shit about that but i did watch that movie and you saw mulan yeah yeah wow with uh what a scab one to ten it for me one to ten uh it wasn't as good as the cartoon one was okay you know i haven't seen that one since i was a kid but uh honestly the total lack of eddie murphy is like it it doesn't have the vibe yeah he's the dragon oh they took it i think there's no dragon but there's a phoenix the donkey and shrek too right yeah yeah he is i only heard about mulan and it's a little darker and they sucked away any elements of like fun and lightheartedness now it's more of a darker serious action type plot would you say yeah yeah and it's not there's

no let's get down to business let's get down to business there's no eddie murphy don't turn to be a man the they they they do that thing instead of committing to the silliness out of you the people I was watching with were like this is bullshit there's no there's no dragon there's no song but they you were saying it's like a little grittier and darker

I would say like a five four four five the most average forgettable thing to me like there's no there was no scene to me at least through i was like wow like they do something where they were too far away from the silliness of eddie murphy that they missed any kind of comic relief stuff and they were too far away from any sort of actual action sequences to get you to feel that anything was at stake

you know it's it's not like they they're going into a battle and mulan's like slitting throats and shit and so it's like they're on this weird razor's edge where they're not achieving either goal and they're just kind of in a silly middle where at no point are you laughing and also at no point do you feel that anything serious is at stake and so i use a war without hurting anybody. The safest war of all time. One of her friends has got a sword and some bad guy from the Chinese

militia, whatever the hell, the Mongols is coming at him. Then he'll punch him in the face and get him on the ground. He's like, and then he does that kid movie thing where he's like, oh, he's dead now. And then they have a big battle and they're gone

and you're like, oh man, I hope all of Mulan's friends. And then you pan back to it and every one of her friends survive. And you're like, of course, it's a children's movie. Also, the whole pretending this Asian woman is passable as a man only works in the cartoon. She has tiny little asian lady hands there's one scene where she's like in the the cot or whatever with all the guys

and they're retarded and so they're like mulan great job at practice today you smell terrible you need to take a shower though and because she hasn't showered the whole time she didn't want everybody to see and so she goes i guess she's the only person who goes to this beautiful lagoon to bathe everybody else stays in this terrible little prison shower and so she goes there and she's her little tiny feminine body is like up to here in the water and then one of her like buddies you know the big guy that she kind of likes it's like ah mulan you are out here bathing, are you? Good job at practice. And she's like, oh, don't come in here. And he's like, shut up.

Just gets in there. And then you see him earnestly asking, what's wrong? Are you OK? And then in a back shot, you see a man's shoulders with traps, shoulder definition. He's a lean guy, but he's got a man's body. then in the foreground is hurt the tiniest little woman and nobody gets it nobody's putting the pieces together he gets out i guess and she just keeps hanging out in the lagoon no no no seeing her tits or pussy but uh yeah that part was the most ridiculous it was like this only worked

they needed a more mannish woman. They needed a mannish woman. Mulan, you understand about shrinkage, right? That's a lot of shrinkage, Mulan. You have tits, Mulan. There were some really fucking dumb parts of that movie. Pull off Mulan, they should have picked a real manly woman. They almost should have

picked a feminine man rather than a manly woman. Yeah, the voice is over the top too. It'd be like me trying to pretend to be one of the women. That I would love. I'd be like, oh, I'm just doing Asian woman things.

Yes, I see you are shaving your beard. Take it on. Oh, tee hee. I got a fan. Full beard. You're really dulling that razor. Oh.

Your hands are so rough and feminine and it's literally like the equivalent of this movie would be like some like british guy and some bullshit opium den being like now you pick your prostitute he's like walking up and down all these beautiful women and he comes across me and he's like, my word. I don't have this beauty. And then there's a whole scene. And then like 50 minutes later, he finds out that I'm a man.

And that's the level of silliness. Now, she is a superhero, right? She just sort of pretends not to be. She's mastered her chi. Do I have this right? And this whole time she's mega strong. She's basically a Jedi. Yeah, she's...

And that's another thing. They're not committing to any kind of magic. It's just like they give her ninja skills. And so it's like she can kick swords and spears in different directions. She's super strong. Like they're doing a thing where they walk up a mountain with five-gallon pails of water with their arms extended straight out. That'd be hard for us to do, anyone on this show.

None of us can do that. That would be impossible. A five-gallon pail of water is 45 fucking pounds. Yeah, I can't do that. I was pretending, but I was worried you guys could. No, no. That is the scene where it's like, hurry. pretending i was worried you guys could walk up there just like gripping these these buckets and if it were mulan just powering up there doing it you'd be like wow she's a superpower a superhero whatever no by the end of the montage

even her fat friend is able to do it. All of them can do it. It's more of like, you know, hi-ho silver, like where Ross yells at you to go up the mountain. And it was absurd. So they never, they just, and that, your little line there, Woody, is about all the details they gave. You have mastered your chi. There's no explanation of what she is don't dig into it

at the end she gets a sword yeah you know it's so like if i'm gonna i've done this before but like if i'm gonna suspend my disbelief and i'm gonna believe that any character is like a superhero or like a badass whatever like like daredevil's a great example, right? Because he's just like as strong as a man can be, essentially is what the comics say. Like a regular human man. Like you figure, all right, this guy can probably bench press 450, no problem.

This guy probably squats 850 pounds, no problem. His vertical is probably 40 fucking inches. That's his fucking baseline also he can hear really well and echo location and shit that doesn't get you to the point where you can beat up endless people now it gets you to the point where if you are really determined and well trained you can beat up five and it's hard it's hard that's not what daredevil does and that's what he did that's why daredevil's so good there's that famous hallway scene that that like has it's shot so it appears to be no cuts but in reality it's maybe only three on this long cut and he beats up maybe

five six seven guys or something like that but at times there's four on him at a time and it's like all he can do it's it's literally everything he has and most of the time he's just sort of redirecting their blows and just trying to get out of the way of them and and what but when he does attack it's brutal there's none of this like bullshit jabs and stuff it's like he's just throwing haymakers and just he finishes them off that's what i really liked about daredevil when he gets them down you know we've watched enough ufc to see like what happens when you punch somebody like you gotta hit somebody so hard and so cleanly in the perfect spot for them just to go lights out and all right he's done

most of the time even in the ufc like when a when a seriously strong guy hits another one in a in the jaw he's still there a little he's and if and if you don't put him if you don't close the door on him you give him 10 seconds he's gonna be up and at it again he would finish him he'd be just ta ta ta ta just till the guy's completely unconscious and perhaps brain damaged and then he moved on move on to the next guy i loved it i like um ask me about i think the predator does this do i have his name right and john wick neither of them are prone to speeches neither of them monologue before they kill their final guy they're just like uh-huh done that's it that's it that's what the oh you mean the

punisher okay okay the punisher i think you're right that is what i'm going for yeah the punisher and john wick have that trait in common where they don't really monologue and i like it you don't see it enough uh i forgot about one character you guys don't care if i spoil this movie no i don't give a fuck so uh there is one over the top magic witch character for the first, most of the movie. It seems like her primary power is turning into bats and bothering people. Cool. You know,

not a thousand. Yeah. And there was like one point where Mulan and she's like, over the titties, the wizard assistant to the main con or whatever, the, the hun guy or whatever, the Hun guy. And she goes to talk to Mulan, and Mulan's like,

you got to join me, don't you see? You're doing everything wrong. And the wizard lady's like, you don't get what's going on, lady. Like, it's more than that. Like, no, you need to come on our side, and then we're going to take everything. You know, it's already over. You thought you were beating

the the main hun force now the hun force they said a little contingent distracting you they're going to take over the emperor right now like it's over join the winning team mulan's like i must get back to my camp in my lagoon and then like goes back and and informs everyone and then with no more character development they get to like try and protect the the emperor and the wizard ladies there as as she's fighting the main hun the the mulan on some spinning beam very dumb and like a construction site and then no more discussion between this wizard lady and mulan they left off the wizard lady basically being like you'll be sorry you didn't join the right side she she flies in as like bats or some dumb shit. She can also be a bird of prey.

Yeah, and he harms her boss. And the fact that she does that out of nowhere is the only reason Mulan wins. And it's like... And then the wizard lady dies to protect Mulan after that. So it was just so dumb. It was so bad. And it was like, wait, but just nine minutes of screen time ago

she was reaffirming that I bet they love it in China. Probably. This is their Rocky Balboa. I will say there were decent parts throughout that movie where I was bored and not paying attention. Yeah. I have no intention of ever seeing mulan i i liked the cartoon when i was a kid um like like

i haven't seen that i haven't seen that shit in 20 fucking years and those songs are still in my head the let's get down to business and i'll make a man out of you and all that shit those two in particular some of the better disney songs like like all so many they have a lot of good disney songs but those two have to crack the top 10 top five yeah yeah maybe i don't know lion king has has some great stuff like like that elton john stuff i like let it go it's a little gay it goes really good i'll let you back me up on that because i got some i got some high E musical tastes. I'm sorry. The one we're talking about is Let It Go from Frozen. Oh, I've never seen that. Isn't that new?

Wow, you didn't see Frozen? Frozen's really good, dude. It's seven years old. Yeah, Frozen's great. Frozen sort of upsets the sort of like traditional princess being saved by the knight in shining armor gimmickick and they

do something new uh which is pretty cool you know i don't are the songs good and catchy they're good yeah there's a there's an aspect so the one of the main characters it's female meets this prince and she instantly falls in love with him and they're like what's wrong with you you've known him a week this is insane and that's like it's's wrong with you? You've known him a week. This is insane. And it's kind of a, you don't see that at Disney much. Usually there's this lot of first sight narrative and not in this one. It's a good movie. You should check it out.

Before I'm putting that in the same league as I'll make a man out of you and whatnot. I liked the Aladdin stuff. And, um, oh, there's bangers in aladdin aladdin's great i watched my vhs of aladdin and jungle book so much that like they went bad they just they would wasn't a big jungle foot uh jungle uh book guy you know i saw it probably blue's great i've probably seen it three or four times or whatever um i'm trying to remember the song from Jungle Book. You know, it's at the... It's the Bear Necessities.

Yeah, Bear Necessities. I love Bear Necessities as a kid. It didn't hold up for me as an adult. That's a great one. Have you ever seen the gif where they show how they copied the... They didn't copy. They reused the animation from Jungle Book and Robin Hood.

Yes. It's crazy. The bear is the same in both fucking movies. He's doing the same dance and everything. The blue is Little John? Yeah. The blue is Little John. They show him doing this whole dance routine side by side.

And it's the same bear doing the same dance and both things mouth moving the same way and they just put a hat and a green jacket on him in one of them and they changed it from the chat to me i don't know from jungle to fucking england and that's it i don't know enough about animation to understand why that saved them time if it was like that is hand drawn i know but they're not the same people. If it was like, wait, draw this with a bear. Now do it again as Little John. I'd be like, how does that save me any effort? No, no, no, no.

They took the same frames and put them over here. They used the same work and just slid it over. Yeah, they just superimposed the hat on him. I need to see it again. It's layers. The way that traditional animation is working it's layers they didn't just redraw they didn't have to draw anymore they've got little john now it's like taking a recording of of you know someone in a movie and just sliding on into

another movie it's they're not having to draw that bear again i'm searching for jungle book versus who's the other one do you remember uh robin hood jungle book and robin hood similarities there it is yeah they didn't redraw it they didn't like copy the work of the first uh movie they just slid it on over oh there's rob's Robin Hood and Aristocrats. That's another one. Yeah. I'm on Snow White and Robin Hood. Do you see this? It's at 20 seconds in.

Do we have a different... Yeah, 20 seconds in. If you could go there. Yeah. It's not clear to me how that saves them time. Like, I can see how it's a match, but it's... Obviously, they didn't get to just reuse the whole thing like they traced over it i guess is everything slightly bigger on the left one than the right but like do you see i don't know exactly how this animation works but i'm pretty sure that like they're not redrawing they're able able to take some elements that had already been created

and just slide them over into Snow White. Go to a minute 30 and it's the exact same dance, yeah. Yeah. They're not having to do all of the work like it's an original. Did it just save them on choreography? Maybe. I think maybe that's having to do all of the work like it's an original. Did it just save them on choreography? Maybe. I think.

Maybe that's hard, you know, to do choreography well. Maybe it. Well, each frame is hand drawn. So, like, you know, it took years and years. It took years in some cases to make these things. Like the Lion King took a year and a half, two years to fucking draw. Dude, this is the same as my Nazi zombie gameplay level of double dipping. A lot of dance similarities here.

But hey, I never caught any of this as a kid. I like the Aristocrats too. Aristocats. Everybody wants to be a cat. I'm with Taylor. I did not. That was one even as a kid. I was like, okay, one or two watches.

What's the one with the mice run away? Oh. Homeward Bat? No. It's animated. Five-Wheel Goes West? Oh, that's the American story is the first one and then Five-Wheel Goes West is the sequel. But that's not Disney. I think that's

one of those bootleg situations. It was cartoony enoughony enough to come off as you're talking about the rescuers i am talking about the rescuers yeah rescuers down under well that's a sequel i know that was a good one i like the rescuers down there so the rescuers came out in 1977 four or five year old woody was prime for that shit i thought it was great i was their demo when that dropped that was perfect yeah i haven't i i really loved that disney animation when i when i was growing up we had so many of those vhs's just probably most of the collection i don't know everything that mattered that i wanted to see from snow white my favorites were probably lion king and Jungle Book, though. Or excuse me, Lion King and Aladdin.

And my sister liked 101 Dalmatians. Yeah, my age equivalent of your rescuers would have been Toy Story because I was obsessed with Toy Story when that came out. I was growing out of cartoons by then. You know what worked for me? I was too old. I think I had a child. But Shrek dropped. I was watching X-F by then. You know what worked for me? I was too old. I think I had a child. But Shrek dropped.

I was watching X-Files, bro. I was a man grown. I was nine. I was so inspired by Shrek. I'm like, how can I get a career change? I need to start working in computerized animation. This is so much cooler than e-commerce. Sorry. There's animated. characterized animation this is so much cooler than e-commerce like i started there's an animated when you step on grass and shrek that grass pushes the next grass which slightly pushes the next

grass and that stuff is all like done with algorithms and i was like man i get i want to be a i want to be a part of this i loved it i. I watched it so many times. I never did it. Shrek is such a good... Shrek holds up. Such a good movie. I really enjoy Shrek. I have found that about CGI movies in general, like CGI live action.

I was even watching like Civil War, maybe the first, whatever, some older Marvel stuff, thinking, ah, I'm seeing it, right right it's jumping out at me is not as good as the latest ones which are probably not as good as the ones we haven't seen but i can watch a shrek from like 1990 or something that's too early from you know 2000 or something and i'm like yeah this looks great i don't look at old like uh fucking what's the one with the clownfish finding nemo and say ah this animation blows no i think that's what they were going for so i mean yeah that was a good one that was a

little that was definitely later that was my younger youngest brother liked that a lot yeah i was too old for that one yeah if you had younger siblings you'd know more yeah i was gonna say you know no i'm aware of it i've seen it maybe not kyle but you can take another lap on this stuff when you have kids too you know it's like yeah you know this was a good family experience if i kidnap some or something i need to keep them docile no you will watch x-files and you will like it this is a good episode all right just watch just cry check guy he's gonna turn he's gonna turn trust me this is it this is a good episode all right just watch this cry check guy he's gonna turn trust me this is good this is good you have to spit up again

hundreds of years of inbreeding have created these scary people living in the tall grass that's my favorite episode that one yeah i don't know that there's another x file that like legit had me scared of the dark like that one are we talking at home the one they're inbred uh freaks in the house i think we are yeah there's some other ones too where they're like almost vampires underground maybe there are a couple good x files there's one with like a bat man creature that that was later on that's like one of the like final seasons with it's it's when dog it was there played by robert patrick uh and and molder had left the show for a year or two and in the show he was like missing

it's perfect when you're on a like a like a spooky mystery sci-fi show and you want to like go make movies for a year or two and they're like oh yeah molder's on a secret mission boys he'll be back two years should have been abducted that that you know they didn't know what had happened to him you know they know if he's been abducted or the government killed him or what he done you didn't really he didn't say when he left. He just disappeared. Good shit. You guys want to call it a show?

Yeah, I think so. BKN 316.
