Hey, pardon my take listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. On today's pardon my take, we have a full sports weekend. Holy shit, a lot of things to recap. We have the NBA Finals.

We have Conor McGregor going out on a stretcher. We have USA Basketball. We have the Euro Finals. We have our good friend Troops on the show to break down the Euro Finals. He was at Wembley. He saw the scenes. He talks to us about everything that happened there.

We have some segments. We have a lot. Oh, the water dogs were good. A huge packed weekend to get you going on a Monday. So we're brought to you by our friends at New Amsterdam Vodka. Make sure you head to your local liquor store and pick up the new summer co-branded New Amsterdam Vodka bottle.

That was terrible. I had to clear my throat. The same extra smooth 80 proof vodka. And now with custom barstool labels made from some of the finest quality grain forms from, sorry, America. It says form, but it's from America's Heartland. New Amsterdam Vodka is five times distilled

for unparalleled smoothness and filtered three times for a clean, crisp finish. Also, you know our friends at Pink Whitney. New Amsterdam Vodka. Pink Whitney is the drink of every summer for the rest of the forever. It is a great drink. So shout out to the guys at Pink Whitney.

New Amsterdam Vodka though, the new, the brand new custom barstool labels are out there. It is the smoothest vodka out there. New Amsterdam Vodka. Maybe get yourself a little vodka soda. That's the perfect summer drink, especially wedding drink. Keeps you loose on the dance floor, keeps you hydrated. Also make sure you have a good time.

New Amsterdam Vodka, the official vodka of barstool sports. Okay, let's go. Boy! Boy! Now in the street there is violence and then a lot of soft work to be done. No place to hang out or wash in

and then I can't play all on the sun. Oh no, we're gonna rock down to electric high venue and then we'll take it higher. Oh, we're gonna rock down to electric high venue. It's part of my take presented by Barstool Sports. Welcome to part of my take presented by New Amsterdam Vodka, the new barstool branded New Amsterdam Vodka bottle

is out for the summer. Go check it out. Today is Monday, July 12th and guess what? We've got ourselves a series. The Bucks made sure suns and four didn't happen. They beat the suns pretty soundly and I think a series is on.

Well, it's not a series till the home team loses the game. So series hasn't started yet. The gentleman's sweep is still in play. I still think it's gonna be four one suns but Giannis is I think healthier than he's ever been in his entire life at this point. He's going out there dropping 40 points like it's nothing.

Back to back 40s. Just jamming on people. He does look like the healthiest person on the court and it was also a little bit of an anomaly in terms of the J Crowder game. He shot six for seven from three and they still got their asses kicked. Well, it was what we said on Friday's show

that if the Bucks, Giannis can't do it all himself. He had 40 plus on Thursday, game two. He has 41 tonight, 41, 13 and six but you can't do it all yourself. And we said if Chris Middleton and Drew Holiday could just hit a few more shots, the game is different for the Bucks and that's exactly what they did.

They shot 50% combined. They hit a few more shots. Drew Holiday especially shot well and that's the difference. Like they had, he had his supporting cast around him chip in. It also probably helps that Devon Booker had a horrific, horrific shooting night. He was three for 14.

Pretty bad. I do think that the Bucks, like playing back games one and two in my head, I think this is gonna be a series. I really do. I think the Bucks, like they have enough guys to make this a series. I do still think the Suns are gonna win

but that was a great performance to come home. Game three, backs against the walls. Shout out to our guy, Ryan Russel who said you can't fake desperation because that's what it felt like. They had Dana Beers in the crowd, Juggin' Beers, that probably is why they won but the Bucks.

That's what happened at the last game that he went to. He chugged a beer and then they went on a roll. I'm officially calling it this is a series. The Bucks, this was a very good game for the Bucks and I think they can compete. There's nothing that I've seen in the first three games that it's essentially who can play their top level ball because when the Suns, like we said,

when the Suns have their guys going, Chris Paul and Devon Booker hitting shots and Deandre Aten, they're impossible to beat and the same is for the Bucks. When they have Yanis throwing in 40, is that, oh, I just saw the stat. First player with back-to-back 40 point games. He needs, what's the terrible saying

that everyone keeps saying on, fuck, like ESPN SportsCenter use it, give them his flowers? Is that what they say? Yeah, give them their flowers while they're still here. Give Yanis his flowers. I just know that I've seen it enough. As soon as Bleacher Report in the SportsCenter account does it, it's crossed the line.

So give Yanis his flowers ironically. Okay, but not really give him his flowers now. No, we're gonna mock it, but also do give him some flowers. Before he retires, give Yanis his credit. Give him some flowers right now. So we should also, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention Frank Kaminski's stat line tonight. He had four rebounds, two assists, six points.

The triple single, he had the triple single. Listen, they should have been playing them longer because he kind of dominated the fourth quarter. Also, the coolest highlight of the game without a doubt was Cam Johnson and the dunk on PJ Tucker. The look on PJ Tucker's head when he, on his face, when he was like picking his head up off the ground, he looked like he had just been born.

He had no idea what was going on. He was amazed. He was like, there's no chance that that dunk actually went in, right? What would you say, big cat, to the conspiracy theorists that say the NBA brought in Scott Foster to get eight in foul trouble because they know that playing Kaminski

will help the Bucks win? Well, I disagree because I'm looking at it right now. I'm looking for a stat that would pack up what I'm about to say. Well, here's a fun, Scott Foster fact. I don't think there are any stats. Frank dominated the fourth quarter. Chris Paul is 12, or 12.

12 straight playoff losses. 12 straight playoff losses when Scott Foster has been officiating a Chris Paul game. Okay, so let me make him officiate. No, be serious. There was one different one. I think the value game was Scott Foster. So it's like 12 out of 13.

And that one was improbable. And he didn't play that game. Yeah, yeah. So then my point stands, it's a series as long as they keep Scott Foster around in Milwaukee and then we can go seven. Give Scott Foster his flowers. Yeah, give Scott Foster his flowers.

I love it. There's, you know what though? People, this is what we need for the NBA. The NBA will be like, oh, this is rigged. I used to carry, oh, I can't watch this anymore. I like that the NBA, when it needs a series to go a little bit longer, will send a guy and you'll make sure that it goes a little bit longer.

I like that. Something that people need to quit doing is complaining about shit being rigged. They rig it to make it better. It's Buffalo Wild Wings. They rig it to get us to as close to seven game series as possible. I want more sports.

Right, like a sweep in Milwaukee would have been, besides Sons and Four Guy, who he now, he lost so much money tonight. Yeah. Like he lost, his entire brand is gone. We said it, if the Sons had swept the finals, he would have, I think I said he would, he'd be like a multi-millionaire

and I actually kind of stand behind that. But now it's done. He would be. He would be the guy, at the very least, he would never buy another beer in Arizona again. He's probably gonna try to get into another fight. That's really the only way I, if you're the Sons and Four Guy,

you have to get into a fight, have it be filmed and then you have to make a new declaration afterwards and then have that go viral. Then now you're the Sons and Six Guy and if that hits, boom, you're back on the gravy train. I don't think he wins the next fight. If he went looking for a fight, especially against Milwaukee fan,

I think he'd get his ass kicked because everyone's looking for him. Well, he should just beat the fuck out of Dana Beers. Yeah. He would beat up Dana. Dana cannot handle himself. He just got his second Vax. Yeah. So he's probably a little weak in the arms.

No, I'm excited though, I want this to be a series. I do think the Sons are still gonna win but I'm happy for the box. I do too. I do kind of like, I feel gypsy sometimes when I watch these games. You can't say that. I feel screwed.

There you go. G-worded. I feel G-worded sometimes when I watch these games and Aten fouls out early because he gets in foul trouble early. Aten has become one of my favorite players to watch just because he's always dunking. He's just always above the rim.

And so when he's out, it's like, it becomes a different game. Less fun for me. Yeah. Yeah, no, I mean, I always think that there should change the following. You should get unlimited fouls. You should get unlimited fouls

and then it gets more punitive as you go along. I think your, yeah, your center should get unlimited fouls. But you get like, if you get to six, now you get three free throws and four free throws and you keep going up and up and up. But I still want to watch the guys play. Yeah, yeah. I always go back to the Joe Kim Noah, Greg Odin final

when they both got in foul trouble. I was like, well, this fucking sucks. So series on, is everyone agreeing series is kind of on? It's kind of on. It's low key on. Wednesday is going to be game four. If the Bucks win that, then it is high key on. It's very funny that during tonight's game,

Major League Baseball had its draft during the final game. And it was also supposed to be game seven of the Stanley Cup. If it had gone seven, I fucking love Major League Baseball. They're so dumb. They are genius. How do they not? How do they not have the draft tomorrow

when there's no sports on? And it's the home run derby. Yeah, I don't know. You just do the picks in the middle of the home run derby. Do the first 10 picks before the home run derby starts and then start the home run derby. And there's always downtime during the home run derby. Start announcing the picks live while people are watching that.

Baseball, it's almost like they try to do everything wrong as a joke, which is what I've kind of learned to appreciate. Yes, I'm going to give Rob Banford his flowers and be like, listen, this guy, he fucks up so much that he's almost become kind of endearing to me. Yes, yes. OK, so anything else on game three? Series low key on.

I'm seeing right now the Deer District is popping off. The dojo. The dojo. They've got fireworks going off. Looks like it's a good time. Everyone's going to party. Oh, oh, I had one other point. I'm done with the fans in 8K.

I'm over it. Milwaukee's not really in 8K time. Well, no, it's not even Milwaukee. Here's why I'm over it. Milwaukee is it. They should never have gotten HD television in Milwaukee. That's the standard definition of the US state. Here's the problem.

It's not that it's like so high definition. It's that the best fan moments that you have is when the fan doesn't know the cameras on them. With 8K, they have to get close enough so that you know that the camera's on you. So it's everyone going crazy for the camera. It's basically like watching a jumbotron. I want to see like the Euro final, which we'll get to.

I want to see Mario yelling at his girlfriend who's dressed up like a pizza. Yeah. Like that's what I want to see. They need to disguise the camera somehow. They need to have it like in the mascot who's just walking around instead of people don't know that it's happening.

Because they do start to show off for a little bit when you see a camera in front of you. Throw in a dab. Yeah. Maybe then you bring me back. I'm just so I'm over it. I think it was cool for a minute and now I think I'm done. Maybe I'll change my tune when they go to game five back in.

Yeah, so I think in Phoenix, the 8K definitely plays. But in Milwaukee, no, give me those people and as standard definitions, you can find. All right, so we had a crazy, crazy sports weekend out of nowhere to this is this was one of those weekends when everyone's like, we'll just get through COVID because then all the sports will be happening at once. This is one of those weekends because we had all the sports

kind of happening at once. So UFC, Conor McGregor, his career is probably, well, it's not over as a legitimate fighter. It is definitely what they're already talking about the fourth installation of this rematch. So that's already tentatively been scheduled. But it does. It does feel like it's over.

He was getting his ass kicked in the first round. I don't think that Conor McGregor really feels pain because he just he stepped on his foot and it bent. It bent at a 90 degree angle and then he he looks at it while he's on the ground and he just like calmly diagnosis himself with a tib fib fracture while he's on the ground, continuing to fight back. Doesn't really wince in pain whatsoever.

And then he's he has a presence of mind after that first round's over to just insist that they call it a doctor's stoppage. Yeah, he was pissed about that. Yeah, I think he eventually got that. They got that right because he made it to the end that first round. But I mean, he was like, he was so cool, calm and collected

as his foot basically fell off. He yeah, he was. Well, afterwards he was, he was the Rick James sketch in the Chappelle show where he had no leg and he was saying how he was going to beat Dustin Poirier's ass. It's like, dude, you just, you just had a fight with it. It's the Monty Python.

It's a flesh wound. Right. It's like, what are you talking about? You just lost the fight. I, so I will keep buying Conor McGregor fights forever because he's electric and part of whether you like it or not, guess what? Like the fight business, paper views. It's about the characters behind him.

It's about promoting the fight. It's about your mic work just as much as it is about like what's going on in the ring. So him, him as a legitimate fighter, that is over. He hasn't won. He's won one fight since 2016. And the guy he beat had, has lost or has not won a fight in his last six fights.

So he, he's not, he's just not going to be able to fight at a high level. He had a great run, but it, it enough is enough in that respect, like he's not a legitimate title contender. I'm still going to watch all the fights. I'm still going to buy all his fights. He was getting stretchered out of the ring and then telling the guy like your wife was in my DMs.

Which that one hurt though, because he said all week that he was going to put, he was going to make sure that Dustin Poirier left in a stretcher. And then he left in a stretcher and it's like, come on dude. But back to the- The world's cheapest ankle brace, by the way. Yeah, well, yeah. It was basically like two pieces of cardboard.

There's a Capri Sunbox. Do you think there'll ever be a day where we normalize like people liking to watch injury videos? Because I watched it so many times. I wanted to talk about how many times I watched it. But I knew that people, because you know the instant reaction when someone gets injured, like stop showing the replay. Don't show the replay.

I want to see the replay as many times. I mean, I've said, I've professed this side of me many times and I like to watch the injuries and it's gross and it's disgusting, but it's like fascinating. I figured out that, so I can watch these injury videos, but what I really like to do is I like to go find somebody that hasn't seen it yet and then watch that person's reaction. Correct.

To the injury video. So I got to do that like three times and said, I would bring somebody new into the room and be like, you got to watch this injury. And then I just watched their faces and then I'd laugh. I'd be like, yeah, you saw what I just saw. I love it. It's, I mean, I don't know.

I think something's a little bit wrong with me. You think so, Hank? A little bit. Do you think there'll ever be a time where people will be like, yeah, you know what, you're right, like show the replay again? Yes. Okay, good.

So I'm ahead of my time. Yeah, it's like what we're still saying in the day. It's like, say it now and then in 15 years, like oh, there was no problem with that. Yeah, like now, like half of every... There will be an injury replay show. Yeah, right. We still have a channel.

Yeah. The red zone channel. I'd watch it. The red is just blood. By the way, shout out to our guys, Scott Hansen, re-upping, thank fucking God. So we don't have to listen to stupid... Oh, no, I just took one of Billy's.

Billy's, who's back? Nice, nice. Well, we still have Direct TV, so there's... No, fuck, damn it. But there should absolutely be a red zone channel for injuries or just play like highlights. Two things the internet's killed. One is, well, really the main one that comes to mind

is like watching football following videos, like bloopers. That's probably... There are too many bloopers out there now. There was, the NFL used to just sell a video that was just CTE in a can. Yeah. It was like, look at these guys getting knocked out. This is crazy.

There was a blooper reel and it was just players being concussed. Yeah, oh, by the way, Scott Hansen, why he's the goat? I saw one of his tweets today, gave me chills down my spine. He said, in nine Sundays from now, I'll be with you folks. That's it? Yeah, that's what he said.

I was like, holy fuck, you are, I want to kiss you on your lips, Scott Hansen, and I want to punch Cicely on it. Well, no, what would I do to his balls? He's so short, I would probably like, I would actually just trip into his balls, right? Step over, just step over while he's standing up. Yes.

All right, back to the fights. Yeah, UFC, I really enjoyed watching these fights, mostly because I feel like one of the things that America can do now, we can come together around very small. There's only like a handful of things that make everybody happy to do it together. One of them is watching Greg Hardy get his ass kicked.

Correct. And it was amazing what he, that dude is soft. Yes, he would probably murder me, but like he got caught. UFC hard-os all over the place being like, try Greg Hardy on the streets. No, thank you, absolutely not. I will gladly watch other big people beat the fuck out of him. He should be on every part being like, watch here,

pay $50 at the bare minimum, you're gonna watch Greg Hardy lose. Yes, give me like the, have him fighting out of his weight class, if that's even possible. Have me just like a guaranteed Greg Hardy gets knocked out event, every single fight. I'm in 100%, like he is the world's biggest scumbag

and nothing gives me more pleasure than watching him get punched in the face. And on top of all that, the guy who did it, Bam Bam from fucking Australia, who did a Shuey after, what a legend. I, there's something about the heavyweight division when you get a guy who comes in and he's visibly kind of sucking in his gut.

And he's an incredible athlete. He's about to just do damage in the octagon, but he still has that in the back of his mind, like fat kid, like, all right, there's cameras on me, like just, you know, tighten it up a little bit, but you can see it. I've instantly loved those type of guys. He was electric, he was doing Shueys on the way out

with the hot sauce, which was disgusting, but awesome. That guy, you could have picked a better guy to beat Greg Hardy's face in. Agreed, when I first started watching that fight, I was like, oh, I think I may have bet poorly on this, because he wasn't even sucking in that much. He was just kind of out there like, yeah, I've got a couple of rules.

I got a spare tire on either side. But yeah, that was, it was just really cathartic to watch Greg Hardy get punched in the face. That should be a sport of its own. Yeah, it never gets old. And he should do it if Greg Hardy had an OnlyFans, but every video, like you could pay $5, like punch him once in the face.

I think he'd become a millionaire that way. I had a question coming out of these fights. So is Conor McGregor a sore loser? That's what people are saying. Like, hey, he mentions Dustin Poirier's wife. Dustin Poirier, to his credit, I love when guys, after a fight, the bad blood doesn't stop.

That's when you know it's real. He's like, fuck this guy. I fucking hate this guy. But is Conor McGregor a bad sport, or is he just the greatest heel who just keeps selling fights? I tend to lean latter, but I did see like the sentiment that,

hey, you're laying on the ground, you just lost, you broke your ankle, and you're saying, you're talking about this guy's wife. He's not a bad sport. He's just Conor McGregor. That's just what he is. And yes, Conor McGregor is a bad sport, but he's just being Conor McGregor.

Like that's his personality, and the reason why people watch the fights, and the reason people get excited to tune in and watch him talk shit in a press conference is because he's Conor McGregor. And he does have that like, I'm a heel personality. So I think it's like, it's too on brand form to be like, oh, you're a sore loser.

Yeah, no shit. He's Conor. Well, and people sometimes get confused with the fight game because I did see also Dustin Poirier afters, like, listen, I like to fight. I don't like all the other bullshit. Well, unfortunately, all the other bullshit gets people to watch.

Like Conor McGregor, you might say, oh, asshole, scumbag, all these things. Guess what he does do as well. He fucking breaks pay-per-view records all the time. That's why we're sitting here right now saying, hey, he's not a title fighter anymore, but I'm still gonna buy every single one of his pay-per-views. Just like Tyson at the end who,

they were giving him good opponents, but Tyson was the same where it was like, he sucks now, but guess what? He's still Mike Tyson and one punch could do it all. Like that's- Yeah, you might not like the entire package that goes into it, but you have to, so like for us, the reason why we're able to get paid

to do the show is because we have Glinnie Ball's turn out burger reviews. Correct. Putting lights on, putting money in our pocket. In the engine or whatever, in the fern. Exactly, so that we get to look good doing this podcast. That's true. So yeah, it's part of the fight game.

You have to have somebody that's willing to stir the pot like that, and it was very funny to listen to the interview with Conor McGregor while he was on the floor of the octagon, right afterwards. I don't think I understood more than two words that he said. Conor McGregor, I don't think speaks, is it Irish? He doesn't speak- It's Irish.

He doesn't speak, he just- He's Irish. I don't know if he saw- He just makes up words. He's got the Irish flag. He makes up words as he goes along. I don't think that's an actual, it's like a language he invented.

He also, it just shows how tough UFC guys are because his ear was bleeding. Maybe brain, ear, maybe just cauliflower ear popping. And that's like a total secondary afterthought injury. Like nah, he's fine. His ear's bleeding, let's worry about his leg. Last thing I had about the fights, I actually wanted to ask is, you know, I'll admit it,

I'm a UFC casual, like I buy, I don't know, probably like eight to 10 paper views a year. They are on like every single weekend. Do people like Daniel Cormier? That's my question. Because I love- Yeah. I think he's awesome.

He's the best. But I don't know what the sense of it is. The entire broadcast crew is perfect actually. Joe Rogan sitting down next to Conor was fantastic. But I love, Daniel Cormier is one of those broadcasters where I feel like I'm learning something. Like there was that moment, I can't remember which fight it was,

but it looked like someone was about to get choked out. And Cormier was like, no, he's good. Look at where his like arm is. And then two seconds later, he was good. Yeah. And I was like, holy shit, how did he know that? I'm always amazed- Because he's a fighter, but he's awesome.

Right, he'll be watching two guys just wrestle on the ground and he'll instantly be like, okay, he needs to put his right shoulder here at this time and then he can get out with a reversal. Right, right. Which is something like, unless you've done it for years and years and years, like I don't, it doesn't even comprehend

how you're able to just look at two guys and like mentally untangle them in your brain from afar. So we obviously do knock broadcasters from time to time, Andrew Cisleano, but so when they do well, I want to say, hey- I love that guy. John Anik crushes it too. John Anik best friend of the program, yes.

So I think it's a great booth. It's a great night. I love watching big fight nights. That's the other thing, the last thing with Conor McGregor. Whether you like him, hate him, whatever you want to feel about him, he brings the big fight vibe where you just know it when you feel it.

When you buy the pay-per-view, when you sit down, when the main event starts and you are so locked in, it's one in the morning, chills down your spine. There's something that you can't replicate whether it be boxing or MMA on a big fight night. There's no other thing in sports like it. And Conor McGregor does that.

He does. Asses and seats. He does, he really does. So it was great. It was just fun to watch a full card. All right, let's talk some other sports before we do that. Shady Rays are a fantastic sunglass sponsor. Are you wearing your Shady Rays right now?

The only other thing I had that we missed with troops. Well, England heartbreak was, it was exceptional. Yeah, I mean, you knew it was coming too. Knew it was coming.

And it is very funny watching the horny cameraman try to find the one hot person from England in the crowd. Still haven't found him yet. They're still working on it. Well, the chick who had- The 69? Yeah, Mrs. Grealish 69. I mean, she wants to fuck.

Yeah. Like there's something about that. Yeah, there's something about like somebody being horny. That's sexy. I've always said that. There's also the Italian dude with the necklace and his shirt off. The fan cam is unbelievable.

The pizza and Mario was so great. Cause I know that the conversation leaving that house could not have been going great when Mario turns to his girlfriends like put on this pizza costume and it's not flattering whatsoever. You don't think that that's probably part of their vows when you get married in Italy.

It's like having to hold sexy Luigi. No, you can't like take your wife to a soccer game and then have her dress up as your brother. I think that would be hot. You think that's- That would be hot. Pizza. Well, the fan cam to me was so entertaining today

because every fan there was crying by like the fifth minute either out of nerves because you were at Italy and you were behind and you're like, oh, fuck, we're going to lose this. Or because you're British and you're like, fuck, I've seen this movie before. We scored too early. Everybody was crying.

Everybody in that setting was so, so nervous. But I don't know. After like the 20th, 30th minute, I felt like Italy had it in hand. Even though they were losing at the time, this was a one one Italy victory today. They scored too early, Italy scored too early. Italy got the waggle, which is why they won.

They did. Yeah, that on aggregate, they won the Euro final. I also credit to me, we're a huge soccer podcast. Everyone knows that. I finally figured out that Gareth Southgate is the name of the English coach because for the longest time, when they would reference Southgate,

I thought it was like a Scotland Yards situation where it was like the head of English football on Southgate Street. Okay. And they're like, Southgate says this. No, I thought- Doesn't it kind of play? I thought Gareth Southgate was like the name

of the stadium in like Liverpool. Yeah, right. Like it sounds like that. Like, oh yeah. The word out of Southgate is that we're going to have to start soccer today. Yeah. So Southgate was on the British side.

Who was the, who's the coach of? Fabrizio. Manager. Fabrizio? That's another thing that we should discuss at some point. At what point do you no longer become a coach? Now you're a manager. Roberto Mancini.

Roberto Mancini. I was close. Because if you're a college baseball coach, you're a coach, but then you're a major league baseball manager. Yeah. And if you're a soccer coach. I think you might be a manager at college baseball.

Really? Yeah. No, I think it's coach. I think it's college baseball coach. I guess it's coach. Yeah. But yeah. Roberto Mancini did a great job with the guys

out there today with that 4-3-3. It's the little things in life. Like whenever they announced the whole Italian lineup, I just look at all the names. I'm like, damn, that guy's really Italian. They all look so Italian. Which makes sense, because they are literally from Italy. But I don't know why.

Whenever you see a Luigi in the wild or Roberto or Fabrizio, I think, is maybe a guy on the team. Give us a couple of guys on the team. There was, well, Immobilé is one of them. Like I just laughed. Ciesa. Ciesa looks so Italian that he starts to look French. Yeah.

A little bit. He's the most Italian-looking person in the entire world. We got three goalies. Salvador Sirigou, Gianluigi, Donnarumma. Gianluigi. Wait, wait, wait. Gianluigi, yeah. Gianluigi.

I don't know. It's very stupid. I admit that it's very stupid of me. But I see them in the wild. I'm like, oh, fuck, that guy's Italian. Yeah, so the last goalie for Italy was also named Gianluigi. I think it's like number 10.

They give that to the best player. Yeah, that guy's. The starting goalie for Italy always has to be named Gianluigi. And then if you win a major title, that's him. Yeah, yeah. Gigi Buffon was Gianluigi Buffon. Got it.

So it's with the Pope. Yeah, then before him it was like, I want to say Gianluca. Gianluca. I love it. I love it. Yeah, that guy was really good. Give me a couple other names.

Give me a good couple. Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Giorgio Cellini, Leonardo Spinazzolla. Emerson. Just Emerson. No last name. Francesco Acerbi, Leonardo Benucci, Alessandro Bastogna. Leonardo Benucci? That's a fucking fire name.

Yeah. I don't know. Matteo Piscina, Andrea Bellotti, or Bellotti Lorenzo Insigne. I love these names. They all sound like they'll come over your house, smoke all your cigarettes. I just fucking love them.

I don't know. Frederico Bernadeschi. Yeah, so shout out Italy. It's coming, Rome. All right, what else do we have? Oh, the water dogs are good. Yeah, well, they're solidified in the middle of the pack right now.

Yeah, they played a log jam. I watched the entire game on Friday, skipped the entire game on Sunday, but I watched the entire game on Friday and they played very well. They kicked the shit out of Paul Ravel's team. They're beating some inferior opponents right now. Yeah, the only problem I had with them on Friday

was they just stopped playing for the over, which we got to talk to the coach and figure that out. I had Billy crunch some stats. Give it to me, Billy. So our strategy is simply just shoot more. The water dogs shot the most out of any team in their game against the cannons.

There it is, how many shots? 50 shots. Boom. Versus the cannons shot 28 times. That's all you gotta do, just shoot the ball. And they also had the second highest total with 48 shots in their other game. So wait, so we had first and second highest total.

Tied for second with the archers. So this works. Yep. The results are there. There was a curveball shot that one of our guys had. Did you see that? No. It went off the ground and it bounced to the side.

Did it happen on Sunday's game? Yeah, it was today. I didn't watch the second one. Well, I just saw the highlight. I didn't watch the second one. I didn't even watch any highlights. I was watching Euro. I was watching the global game.

Yeah. The beautiful sport. Actually, no, I did turn it on for a second. It was 005 minutes in and I turned it right off. Yeah, so we won. That didn't happen. We won, that's all. Listen, we're a results-oriented management company here.

Good dogs, good boys this week. Very good boys. Yeah. They get to sleep back inside. No more out in the doghouse. All right, let's do our who's back. Then we have troops. Then we have some segments for everyone today.

Much appreciated. Tung Tung. Big Tungy. We are back. Great to be back. Hank brought back a sickness. Are you sick, Hank? Not a sickness.

Just a little hungover till a vacation hangover. You got the beach flu. Yeah. Did you get sick on vacation? Well, I made it, you know, I went really hard out of the gate and then I think I got the beach flu like halfway through. And I'm on the back end of that.

I also, yeah. How many days is this beach flu on? Is this a two day hangover? Well, it was like, you know, it was a long vacation. So it was like the first four or five days I went hard and then I got sick after that. Yeah. And then I'm feeling better now, but.

Two more vacation questions. How was the shaming like curbed a little bit? People were respectful of your vacation time? Yes, somewhat. Good. For the most part. Two, did you see Barry Alvarez retired and he accrued 31 weeks of vacation?

Yes. He got a fat check. But I don't know that I would do that because he didn't take the vacations. You gotta just take the vacations. I think he probably did and just, you know. I mean, his whole life is a vacation. Yeah, right.

He came back to take a job that is essentially what he would be doing in his free time anyways. $300,000, he's been banked. He's probably fucking sick. One other question. Hank, did you fuck? No, what?

Okay. Just curious, just curious. Jesus Christ. Just curious. All right. Just curious. Not gonna scratch you. Okay.

Jose Altuve and the Astros are back. How so? And DK Metcalf. Jose Altuve's back because of that game against the Yankees. Yep. Yankees blew a six from lead the ninth. Altuve had to walk off, take a shirt off. I really...

They got the easiest punishment of all time. That was the only thing I wanted to note. We talked about it in real time with COVID. They got let off more than anyone's been let off the hook in the history of anything. Because the fans are back now, but it's so long ago that they don't care. I don't think I...

It's not right that he's able to take his shirt off and like play into that joke without having ever really been punished for that. Correct. Right? I will not laugh at it. It's also very funny and sad for Yankee fans that they got the ultimate punishment of all of this

by signing Garrett Cole for a shitload of money who is only good. Well, he had a great game on Saturday night, but seemingly is only good when he can cheat with Spider-Tac. That really sucks, right, Jake and Billy? Small sample size. Of just Saturday night, him being good?

Of what? He had three bad starts and one good one, so it's not enough yet. Okay. He'll get a grip. I like you, Billy. He's back. Okay, and then what was the other one?

DK Mechav. For what? He did like a one-legged box. Oh yeah, that was pretty sick. 42 inches. It was insane. I was holding a 12-pound medicine ball. David and I can't even do a one-legged without any weight.

I would imagine most people can't. Yeah, like 20 inches. I think it's a lot. Maybe. He's a beast. Yeah, but he also struck out twice in the celebrity All-Star game tonight. He did?

In slow-pitched softball. Yikes. Tough one. That gets aired tomorrow or today? Well, I don't know. There were people at the game that were giving me reports on his box. Yeah, I think they like aired,

or they might have aired after the home run derby or something, it's super weird. I need to see his two strikeouts though. We need those. All right, PFT, your who's back? My who's back of the week is Shark Week. Shark Week's back. It's Shark Week, boo, Shark Week.

Although I do have kind of a shot that I'm kind of pre-calling on this one, I think that we're overdue for a summer of the shark. The media hasn't really had anything to keep us in fear about after COVID has kind of started to become an afterthought. The media, they are overdue for another summer of the shark. You weren't scared about the story of the shooting

that was planned in Denver? That was pretty scary. Oh, that one? Yeah, that one was pretty scary. That one wasn't really, they were saying that they found a shitload of guns and it could have been like a drug deal that was going on.

It was very scary. They were selling guns, maybe not necessarily like a planned massacre. Yeah, but that's how the media, they started, the media definitely got me scared on that one. Exactly, when you find, Can't go out of your house.

If a reporter finds a room that's got seven guns in it, they're gonna be like, crisis of verdict. Yeah, right. But I do think that we're overdue for a summer of the shark. Like there might be one shark attack on the East Coast in the next month. And then everybody will just freak out

and be like, some of the sharks back. Sharks are back. Shark Week sucks. Shark Week does suck. It doesn't take a genius to figure out how to make, yeah, how to make Shark Week good again. And that's just give us an eating. Yeah.

That's a feeding frenzy. I don't even have, like don't make someone die just for Shark Week. Just get more cameras out in the ocean. So when someone does die naturally, we can put it into Shark Week. I'd like to say, if I get eaten by a shark and it's on camera,

I want you to use that for content. Correct. Correct. Don't let me die in vain. Tease it up on Shark Week. All right, my who's back is the goats because it was a big weekend for the goats. Messi wins his long eluded international trophy

with the Copa America. Is that what it's called? Yeah, sure. Why doesn't he play in the fucking Euro? Yeah. Cause he's South Africa or South America is in South America. South America.

Not Euro. True. Was that? No, no. That was real? No, that was a joke. I'm back. Hangs back.

Just kidding. You had us going for a second. Come on. Hank. You're confused cause he plays for Barcelona, which is in Spain. No, it's like everyone's like, it was a big tournament and yeah.

It was South America instead of Europe. Yeah. So Copa is like, and then they all play in the World Cup. It's basically the World Cup except not Brazil and Argentina. Right. And Colombia.

It was totally a prank. Yeah. Yeah. But he won. He, we won't, we'll just pretend that the ending didn't happen when he just totally missed from like two feet away. Argentina won.

Argentina won. Messi. They carried him off the field. My goat. So now Ronaldo and Messi have the same amount of trophies, international trophies, I believe. And that's really the only thing that was separating them at this point because Messi's kicking his ass

and everything else. Everything else. And then Djokovic, it's over. He won his 20th Grand Slam title, Wimbledon. It's over. He's tied Federer and Nadal. He's slightly younger than those guys. He's going to win.

He's going to win at the US Open. That's the counter year Grand Slam. Actually they were saying it might be the gold slam if he wins at the Olympics as well. He's the goat. Jake, what do you say to this? Because you've been on the wrong side of history and I'm wiping the floor with you.

You're Federer guy. We all know that. You're Federer guy. Three-way tie for 20 is great for the sport. You're a Federer guy. We need all three in the semifinals. Kiss my feet and say I was right. Billy Jean King, 10 to center in two months.

All in the semifinals. There's no chance that Federer comes back and has to add to that. Nope. The 20 has a period next to it. He had a good run in this tournament. Not really. He lost in the quarterfinals.

Yeah, he's not getting 21. What are you doing right now talking about Federer? Could you imagine five years ago being like he had a good run, he lost in the quarterfinals. Yeah, you're right. You're right. It's over. It's over.

Is he in Queens? No. Actually, we were talking about it. We might go to one. A game. Is this the one that he got kicked out of a couple years ago when he tried to kill a ball? Defaulted.

Yeah, whatever. Shouldn't have been standing there. I don't know. People like, it's very funny when I hop into tennis for, I would say, I'm a tennis. Four times a year. Well, I'm adding it all up. I'm probably a tennis fan for an hour and 15 minutes a year.

Yeah. And people are like, dude, what do you say about all his controversy? Like, I don't fucking care. He's the goat. I'm not a huge Djokovic fan. However, if he pulls off the joke slam this year. The golden slam.

No, the joke slam. Yes, the joke slam. The joke slam by winning an Olympic gold medal. And then the US Open. And the US Open. That's something that we'll never see accomplished again in our lifetime. Ever.

I choose to appreciate greatness wherever I might find it. That's exactly right. No matter who you root for, someone's doing something great. You appreciate it. We should just sell joke slam t-shirts. Yes. Whether he wins or not. He could also become the first player to get disqualified

one year from the US Open and win it the next year. That's true. That's true. That's a great fucking thing. And that's not confirmed, but without doing research, it's probably. Why did he get disqualified? He's got to hit the neck.

He hit a judge with a ball. In the neck? Yeah. Adam's apple? Was she OK? If it was a female, probably. Probably not the Adam's apple. Was it a she or a he?

Was it a she? Was it a she? And it was just, you know, tennis ball, whatever. Oh, it was an older woman. Yeah. Fuck, I forgot about this. Yeah, they had to call over. No, he put his hand up.

I'm watching it right now. He did the, hey, my bad, immediately. Then it's all good. If you put your hand up right after you hit someone by accident, hey, my bad. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Just do like six sorry's in a row. It's all good.

You have to just say, after it hits him, you got to go, heads up. Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, are you OK? That's it. That's good. That's enough punishment. All right, Jake, you're who's back.

Did she die? Yes, my who's back. No. OK. Billy is chomping at the bit to grab the mic. Who's back is Nigeria basketball. Yeah. They took down USA in an exhibition,

so I don't think it's time to panic at 90 to 87. But they have some solid players, like a lot of them are in the NBA. I don't think it's as embarrassing as people are saying. I have a take. Exhibition. I have a take that people are not going to like. And they're going to twist against me and say

that I'm anti-American. You ready for it? This is good for basketball. I like, I love those people. No, no, no, no, I don't care about basketball. You know what, it's shown all the good that the United States has done on an international level. The global reason.

The fact that these teams, who used to just look up to us and get autographs from our players after the games, are now able to compete. It really goes to show you what a great job United States basketball has done in spreading the game. Right, right. No, I think that David versus Goliath, Trump's all like fandom and nationality and everything.

When there's like a true David, you might say, hey, Nigeria is way better than David. So it's not David versus Goliath. I would say, hey, these are a collection of the best NBA players. They're the best. We're the best. We should win every game.

We beat Nigeria by like 80 points six years ago. Any David versus Goliath is so much fun to watch that I didn't really care. Like I know that even if it happens in the regular tournament, I think I wouldn't, I want US to win. But if they lost to a team, they should, like, when they're 28 point favorites, there's part of me that's just like, that's incredible.

It's almost like Appalachian State versus Michigan. Like if a division, like if Coastal Carolina played Alabama and they beat them, that would be such an incredible sports. Army, Oklahoma game. Yeah, UMBC, Virginia. There's something about that where you have this like, hey, this team has no shot.

And then they pull it off. It's so fascinating to watch that I wasn't even, I wasn't bothered by it. I was like, that's fucking cool for Nigeria. You're rooting for humanity at that point. You know, as a journalist, you're rooting for the best storyline. It just dawned on me that I was like,

I think that I would always, if a David versus Goliath event happened like this, I would always kind of sit there and be like, that's fucking cool. Hypothetically, Big Cat, if it was Appalachian State versus Wisconsin. Of course, it'd be terrible. But I would understand that everyone else would be like, that's incredible.

Exactly. I completely understand where people would come from. Yeah, so yeah, in this circumstance, I'm like, yeah, good for Nigeria. If it's in the Olympics, I'm USA all the way, baby. No, I'm USA all the way, but if it happens, it's like, I still would step back and be like, you know what? That's fucking, that's crazy and cool,

because we should beat the fuck out of everyone. I also think that Pop is doing some nice little behind the scenes chess moves here. This was the best thing that could have happened to the USA basketball team is to lose before the Olympics. Yeah, just don't give up 50% of the 20. And then I'll have the full team, because they have guys in the finals.

Yeah, that's true. That's true. Also shout out to Louis Scola. He's still playing for Argentina. Hell yeah. My favorite European. That'd be awesome. Yeah, Euro finals.

Well, Hank, a lot of those people in Argentina, they do have German ancestry, if you know what I'm saying. That's true. Yup. Billy. My who's back of the week. Billy's back on who's back. He's just through a sheer force of will

has got himself back and who's back. My who's back of the week is football guys. Kevin Zeitler was doing pass pro footwork. Badger. While his wife was giving labor. Yeah. Giving birth in labor. Actually, the best part of that was someone,

I think a teammate of his replied, it was like, if you know Kevin, he does this everywhere. Like if you're, he's waiting in line at Chipotle, he's doing some pass pro. I also like how it's referred to as, like I'm getting a couple of sets in. A couple of sets of pass protection. What that really means is like you're just shuffling

your feet to the side real quick. No. That's one set done. See, mentally, he was critiquing his own form. No, you do the set. You do the shuffle to the side. You bend at the hips. You get your arms in tight.

And you're ready to punch. It's a set. It's definitely a set. It's just very funny that it's got its own term. Like doing that one specific dance move. It's actually a set. And yeah, if you're an office alignment, you just find yourself doing this all the time in places.

Just like if you're a golfer, you just work on your swing everywhere that you go. You just take air reps. Right. It's an art form. It is. All right, so Billy, welcome back to who's back. Good who's back, Billy?

Yeah. Hank, he was like, can I say my who's backs right now so that no one steals it? And I was like, oh, okay. So he's just powered through. And I like it. I thought one of you guys was going to take that. You captured it back.

We did take. Which one did we take? Scott Hansen. Scott Hansen is back all the way fucking back. Or you're a Scott Hansen guy, right? Oh, and wait. Hardo Jernos? No, we're doing that in segments.

Okay. Let's get troops. PFT. You have a quick word from our friends. Yeah, our great friends are bird dogs. We love bird dogs. I wear bird dogs every single day. Got the beach house cooking right now.

What I do in the morning is put on a fresh pair of bird dogs, wear them down to the beach. They're perfect. You can take a dip in the ocean. Then they dry off super fast. You can wear them out. You can go out for lunch in them, go back to the beach.

They're actually the perfect summer shorts. I love wearing them. I've got about 10 different pairs. It's all that I'm wearing this summer. It's peak summer. And that means that bird dog shorts are back. Big time. If you're not wearing bird dogs all summer long,

what are you even doing? They're the best and most comfortable pair of shorts that have ever existed. They have super soft built-in underwear. They're perfect for doing literally anything. Beach, golf, brunch, pool. They are the short shorts of the summer. Bird dogs stole Lulu Lemon's designer.

They're just doing it better. And bird dogs' new summer styles are all out on their website. Check it out, bird dogs. You will not regret it. Once you start wearing bird dog shorts, the worst thing I can tell you about them is you're not going to want to wear

any other pairs of shorts besides your bird dog shorts. And they've got a great deal for you. You remember, they sent the nun shucks. They sent you the crocs. They sent charcuterie boards when you ordered their shorts. And now, if you go to birddogs.com and you enter promo code take, they're going to throw in a free Bird Dogs whistle tip football.

He was at the game, England versus Italy Euro final. You can listen to his podcast back again with troops AFC. He will have an extended breakdown

this week on his podcast. He's also got a bunch of videos out, so go follow him. He was at the game. So troops, you joined. We can tell that it's not exactly a great moment. I have my first question is, well, it's not a question, your haircut looks great.

Then the question comes in. When did you get that haircut? My boy, man, you're getting me. He looks after me. There's only really two people I trust with my hair. One's in New York and one's over here. So if I'm in London or New York, the trim and fade is always on point, but you get me.

But what day? Literally today, we'd like to- No, true. So you got it thinking like, I need to look good for all the pictures that are gonna come out when it finally comes home. No, how could you? Nah, but it's a big game, so man has to come correct.

You get me. I can't be going in there and flipping. I'm looking like a madman. I'm in the trove and you get me. It's a final, man. You have to go there looking correct. Okay, all right, so before we talk about the game, I wanna actually ask you about the scene.

It looked insane all day in England, in London. Like what time did you get up and start going to the game? Like what was the scene like outside of the stadium? Because I think one thing that everyone just loves, like I always talk about the big game feel. When you wake up in the morning, you're like, today is different. That's such a great feeling to have as a sports fan.

So what was it like walking to the game and beforehand and outside of the stadium? From I woke up, I was nervous. So far, I know anything can happen. You get me, but the excitement is there as well. So when I'm in the shower, I'm playing Free Lions. I'm playing Vindaloo. I'm playing fucking the streets.

Like I'm playing part-life. I'm on the keys of the team today. You get me. And like went to the ground, literally, from I got to Wembley Way, I couldn't move. Like I could not fucking move. I've been Wembley a lot of times. I've been there for FA Cup final with Arsenal.

I've been there for England games. And today, I have never seen it like that in my life. In my fucking life. It was like Corona didn't exist, blood. There was no masks. There was nothing, blood. It was just like, it was like 2019 vibes. You get me?

It was like everyone was just up for it. Like it was literally like, if when you come London, I want to bring you like August times, isn't it? So I could bring you to Carnival. Carnival was like the Caribbean carnival. You get me? And then we go around, you walk around West London.

They got floats. You follow the floats. You could just walk around. They got food selling, jerk chicken. You could just smoke your weed, drink your drink. Your vibes in. Girls would just jump on you. You get me?

Like they would just jump on you, bro. Like you're popping a girl would just jump on you. You get me? It was that kind of, it was that kind of vibe, bro. You understand? Like people had their flares out. There was fucking, people were throwing beer in the air

to like make sure you don't get licked out because they're like fresh cans, blood. They just throw them in the air. Like you just catch the cans and be like, boop. You get me? Like it was crazy, bro. Like, you know the English man there, the football man there,

they love the white stuff. They was bare of that blood. Like yo, troops, you want to take you? And I'm like, yo, brother, you might know me. Like you get me? I'm a member, blood. Like I bond my team. Then I, when I snort my team, you know what I'm saying?

So I'm just there roasting my Zubis. And then like, when we went up to go in now, cause like I never see the ambush, when people ran up and was moving to fucking stewards and they broke in into the actual stadium. I never saw none of that because I was vibes on a runway rate because I got my ticket and got worried about that.

So I'm just cooling. So when I've gone up there now, obviously because the man names gone up there earlier and everyone's just like, don't give a fuck. Jib gang, everyone's doing a jib thing. It took me like, I literally, I left my spot at like six o'clock here.

And it literally will take where I was on a normal date to get to where I wanted to go. Like up the stairs at Wembley, it would take me a minute, blood. Yeah. And it took me 45 minutes, blood. I never got to the fucking turnstile until 6.45, blood. Then when I got in, I got upstairs,

everyone's on the Concourse game, mad, beers are flowing, beers are flying again. You get me like, it's just scenes. Everywhere you go, it's just scenes. Like everyone's up for it. It's a feel, good vibe. Like I never saw no madness. You get me like at the start of the game,

I never saw no madness. At the end of the game, boy, that was a different team, blood. You get me. Yeah. Did you feel like a little bit of a sellout having a ticket to the game instead of being one of the, you know, a man of the people breaking into Wembley Stadium?

That sounds like it would have been more fun if you didn't have a ticket. Nah, you're just a mad man, blood. You understand that? I've got fucking, I've got fucking thrown out of there with fucking jet ski. For vlogging. Right, yeah, what happened?

Vlogging? You were vlogging? For vlogging. Bro, so we were vlogging, yeah? That's what you do. You get me? But vlogging, blood. You understand?

I heard all you fucking pricks from walking around the next day in the office saying, for vlogging, blood. For vlogging. For vlogging, blood. You might have dick cats, I swear to God, blood. So like, even that situation, like, they threw man out,

because I think it was the size of the camera. Yeah. Because the worst thing is, yeah, I even told Jets, I could tell, I told Jets, obviously, I spoke to you a lot. The man that threw man out, I saw him at the semi-final, blood. He's come up to me with seven of them, blood, yeah?

I'm chilling there. Two of my man there, I'm chilling with, and there's that couple fans that fuck with me, innit? Like, supporters, they're there, I'm just chilling with them. There's like a group of us. He's come in front of me, yeah? And he's like, you all right, mate?

And I was like, I looked at him, yeah? And I was like, this pussy-hole. Like, in my head, I was like, in my head, I was like, this pussy-hole, it's him. And then I looked here to the side of me, I just see, like, at the corner of my eye, I just see bare, like, orange. Like fluorescent orange.

So I turned, yeah? And I just see seven of them, like, there. I'm like, right now, I've turned to him, yeah? I said, big man, what the fuck is your problem now? I said, you're gonna throw me out again? I said, what are you throwing me out for this time? Like, he said, nah, nah, nah. They notified me on the camera that you were here,

so I just thought I'd come up and see you and just apologize and say it was nothing personal when we were telling me in my ear to get you out, your friend was rude. You try to blame it on Jetty, like, these times I'm telling, these times I'm telling him, bro, when he was throwing out my diet, he was filming the floor.

So we've got all what you said, blood. We've even held back certain shit you said, blood, yeah? And released what we wanted to. We could have made you look even worse, blood, yeah? I said, what it is now is nobody fucking, I said, you don't feel sorry. I said, what it is, is you feel pressure, blood, yeah? You feel the heat, blood, yeah?

You realize, blood, because your friend was telling you, yo, this is troops, like, this is what he does, like, he's not filming the game, he's filming his reactions. That's what he does, like, you, man, even what you're saying on the, on the vlog, oh, he's arsenal, oh, we've got a problem. I said, so what, are you talking to him? Is that the problem?

I said, is that the problem, blood? I said, what, my car sack was running right, and came, came what, doing fuck all at that time. I said, this is what you're jealous or something, blood. You understand? He's like, nah, nah, nah, your friend was rude, dreaded. I said, whatever anyway, man, then he goes to me, oh, where you sitting?

I said, a seat. You get me? Yeah. Then he's like, then he's like, what seat? And because Wembley's full of red seats, I said, I said, a red seat. You get me, look, you don't know me, blood, you understand?

I'm saying, fuck this man, blood, I'm saying, I'm in a red seat, blood, what, what do you mean, what seat am I in? I said, why do I know what seat am I in? He's like, oh, I want to come, I want to come next to you, I might want to come in your vlog again. I said, move from me, bruv, then he's like, you know I can ask you for your ticket.

I said, say please, and I might show you, blood. And then he's like, and then he actually, he was actually like, please, can I see your ticket? I said, he's a steward, I have to show him in it. I said, all right, cool. So I don't know if you thought I jibbed, and I never had a ticket,

and when I back up my ticket now, he's like, oh, okay, and then he's walked off, blood. So you're a wanted man, so you had to get a ticket. So for vlogging is a great, we should sell shirts for vlogging. Vlogging is not a crime. Yeah, vlogging is not a crime. You can't arrest me for vlogging. All right, so let's talk about the game.

Do you think, and this is no troll, but it did feel, England scores so early. It was actually, they said on the game, on the telecast, fastest goal in Euro final, right? Do you think that that actually ended up like, I mean, it kind of hurt them because they played to, you know, like a defensive game after that,

they didn't keep attacking. Were you, did you see it when it was happening? Like, oh, this might actually be a problem because we're just waiting for the game to end, hoping that nothing bad happens. That one, you know, I was saying to the people around me in the crowd, it was all talking as you do. I'm saying to them, yo, you can see that,

yo, Rice is getting tired. We need to throw on Henderson because we need speed in the midfield now. The midfield, we're kind of getting overrun. You can see that Mount 1 getting on the ball. They were controlling the game. I'm saying, yo, we take off Mount 1 on Grealish. We need to have a man that can hold the ball

and give us control of the game. Because you could see they were coming. You understand? Pause, they were coming, every fucking angle, blood. It was a game of two halves. And an extra time, it could have gone any way, blood. You get me? First half, we had it.

Second half, they had a man pinned against the wall, blood. You understand? And we couldn't get out. And I think Southgate, I think he took too long to make the changes, blood, because when he brought on Saka, is when they equalized. He straight brought on Saka.

You understand? When Saka weren't even the one to bring on, because when he brought on, I hear what he's doing though, because when he brought on Saka, he went to a four, because we were playing a five. So when he brought on Saka, we went to a four. So then, boom, you get me?

You've got Sterling on the left, Saka on the right, came down the middle. But then you've still got Phillips, Rice, and Mount as the three in the midfield, blood. That's two defensive, blood. You understand? You need to be off, you need, as you lot see, as you lot say, you need to be offensive.

You need to be on the attack, blood. Because at 1-0, 1-0 is a day, they say the most dangerous scores in football are 1-0 and 2-0, because 1-0, 1-1, 2-0, 2-1, they're back in the game, they could get the ascendancy, bang, 2-2. I'd rather be 2-0 up, loud. Yes, yes, I disagree.

I'd rather be, it is funny when people say 2-0 is most dangerous, it's like, I'd rather have 2-0 than 1-0. If you're 2-0 and then you lose the lead, then that's worse though, than if you're just 1-0. But still, I still would take up 2-0. There's a saying in American football that all a prevent defense does is prevent you from winning.

And that's kind of what England did. They got too conservative with it in the first half after that early goal. And you do get out of a rhythm. You have to be able to establish the connection between your midfield and your attackers. And if you're not even trying to, if you're only just trying to counter attack,

then you don't have that rhythm already established to fall back on later in the game when you actually do need a goal. And I was curious to know what you thought about the substitutions. They put on a lot of subs, essentially four penalty kicks. That to me always feels weird when a player gets in and maybe they've only been on the field for a few minutes

and then they're expected to go out there with the weight of their team on their shoulders and score a goal on a PK. Do you kind of feel that same way? Like if you're gonna put a guy in who's gonna take a penalty kick, let him get his legs loose a little bit. Let him play a little bit of football

before it's time for him to go up there and score. With me, yeah, if you're good at pennies, then you're a set piece man. You can come on, you don't really need time to get into the game, to hit the ball in the back, to hit the ball from 12 yards block. You understand? You're seen as a specialist in that position.

So I understand when it's been 20, when it's like the 29th minute in extra time and you see a man like, yo, you're like, yo, we're getting them on now. We're getting them on now. Fuck, fuck, there's a minute left. We'll just get them on so we can take a penny. It's like you even see certain games

where they would bring off the goalkeeper and just change the goalkeeper because the goalkeeper on the bench is better at pennies. Yep, right. You understand? I love the way that you say penalty. Can you say penalties again? Penalties.

Penalties. Yes, fucking guy. I love it. Do you think Sterling should have kicked though before or Grealish because it did feel, I mean, to PFT's point, you had guys who had no flow of the game taking penalties there and you're right.

Like the specialist aspect, I don't really fully understand that, but it's similar to having like a guy pinch hit at the end of, you know, an extra inning game. It's like, all right, he might do something, but it also might be really hard because he hasn't been, he hasn't had any flow of the game. But when you come into the penalty situation as well,

you don't really need the flow because you just literally walk it up from the halfway line to the pennies. It's literally you and the goalkeeper. It's not like you against, you understand? This is a bit more different when it comes to pennies. So when it went to penalties, did you, were you like, it's over, we're fucked?

Nah, like anything can happen in pennies, isn't it? Well, yeah, anything can happen, but it always pretty much ends up in English heartbreak, right? Yeah, that's true, but we broke that, but we broke that in it. We broke that in Russia when we beat Columbia on pennies. So, you understand, we kind of have that voodoo off our back.

We haven't beaten Germany since the fucking 66 final. We beat them in now, you understand? Croatia knocked us out of the fucking Russia semi-final. We beat them first game. So there's things where, you understand, we have improved on what we did in previous years, but you can't blame the players, like, you have to blame Southgate

because we shouldn't have got to pennies, like. Right, so all right, it took too long. So my question is, so it seems like, obviously devastating loss, but do you feel, is it different than other English devastating losses? Cause it does feel like England's building something for the future and like things are going in the right direction.

So does it, is there optimism even in a terrible, terrible loss like that? Yeah, this time, even like Russia and it was optimism because we knew what, who was coming through the ranks, who would come into the Euros. So there was optimism from then. So right now, I'm even more like confident, you get me, that we could go on and do,

we could do bits of the World Cup, you understand? Might not win it, but maybe we could get to a semi-final again, you get me. But in previous years, it was a bit different because when we lost, we were like, yo, this is the end of like the whole Beckham, Gerard, Lampard era. This is bullshit.

Like, the next one we're gonna be shit cause we're building. Right now, we've built, you understand? And we just need to continue. The only fuck he is, is that we're fucking free black players missing. You already know what's gonna happen at full time. And before, as soon as Saka missed his fucking penalty,

you go to his Instagram, you see a monkey emoji, you see him black this, black that, you understand? Yeah, I see, fuck, I see a video of a fan being thrown into the River Thames, which is the equivalent of the fucking, of the Hudson River, you understand? Being thrown into it, I don't know. Like somebody said it was,

somebody said it was an Italian fan. Somebody said it was a black guy. That like, there's been fucking people saying that people are running around with knives in fucking Chad. Well, he forced certain chasing black people trying to stab up black. Bro, there's a matting going on right now in London.

Like, it's like a race war, blood. You understand? And I'm like, why are you doing this, bro? Like, this is like, come on, bro. It's 2021 now, you understand? We need to stop all this bullshit. You get me, like, booing the fucking knee and all this bullshit, like, you're booing the knee,

but then starting to bang the top beams and you're fucking there, like, oh! That's the point, yeah, yeah. You're saying fucking, you're saying Saka's a child, Saka's a prodigy. We need to start Saka, Saka misses eyes, a black cunt, this, that, you know, you're begging for Sancho to be played.

Sancho comes on, oh fuck, Sancho fucking, this, that. These motherfucking deluded, blood, they pick and choose when they wanna like us, blood. You understand? And it's got beyond, it's gone beyond that point now, man, I don't know, nothing is shit now, blood. You understand? It's fucking bullshit, blood.

You have to look at the majority of this team as well. Majority of this team is black. You understand? But the best players are black, black. Yeah, if you wanna get technical. And then you, you understand, it's the black players that kinda carry this team to get to the final black.

And now you wanna turn them in because we missed the team. But then where's the experienced players? You understand? Why are they making the kids take the team? How you making a 19-year-old take the final 20? How can you make a 19-year-old take the final 20? I know, was either the youngest player to take a penalty in a Euro Cup final?

I think I saw that somewhere. And he's your favorite player. Yeah, so do you feel like- One of my favorite. Do you feel, I'm curious to know how you feel when you're watching the English national team play because there's so many players on the team that play for your heated rivals.

And you know, you have to be, you're an Arsenal fan first and foremost, I think, but you also support English national team. Do you feel bad? Like, do you feel like a traitor to yourself when you're cheering for Harry Kane? No, because he's playing for England. He's playing for the country.

Who's the guy who made the other penalty kick? Well, who scored? No, yeah, yeah, who scored. No, the Maguire, that guy was similar. He looks the most English caricature guy of all time. The guy that put a top shelf? Yeah. He couldn't get a tan if he sat out in the sun

for five years straight. Ooh, truth. Do you think that maybe Pickford should have taken your advice and gotten a haircut today before the game? Oh. Because his hair sucks. Yeah. Now, but he made two saves or was it one?

I think he saved two shots. Yeah. Two penalties. Yeah. Oh, one was missed, right? I don't know if it was a miss. I think he had two saves. Yeah, he might have been two saves.

Yeah, yeah, two saves. Two saves because they won. Yeah, they won three, two. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, yeah, he saved the first one and he saved the last one. The last one. Yeah.

And then Zach missed. How many times in the last two weeks have you said it's coming home? A lot. Like, are you sick of it? It's not coming home now, boy. No, I know. Can you know?

OK, we're smart. We're big football fans. We know everything about the history of the game. But we have realized that a lot of our listeners don't really, they don't follow football as much as we do. We do, yeah. And I do. So what, for them, can you explain to those people

what it's coming home means? It's coming home, like, football was founded in England. You get me? It's not like, oh, we're bringing, yeah, the trophy's coming back home, like, you know what I'm saying? That's what we say, like, football's coming home. You get me? Football's coming back home where it started.

You understand? That's where it's coming home comes from. You get me? Obviously, other people will have their other analogies of it. But for me, it's because football was made in England. So if we win a trophy, we're bringing football back home. I got it. You understand?

The sport's coming back home to the place of its birth. Yeah. So that song was made in 96 for the Euros when we got to the semi. And then Southgate, Mr. Penny, and we got to Germany. And that song's been around since then. What, so after the game, was it just everyone was as sad and terrible as it could be?

I don't want to sound like I'm, but this is really, like, what sports are. Like, they obviously show people in the crowds who are, like, dying a million deaths for a reason, because it's the, you know, thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. So how truly miserable was it in the stands? I wouldn't say miserable.

I'd say heated. OK. You get me? These men are so lucky that I don't film what they do. I swear to God. Oh, my God. Yo, man's also mad at us tonight, bro. Yeah, I'm watching this.

I'm watching this video right now of the person being thrown into the into the Thames. Yeah, it was a little fast and toss. Yeah, the Thames. Bro, it's like, there's two of them, there's two men, and they literally just dash you into the Thames. Maybe it was celebration. Yeah, it could have been Italian.

Nah, that's not us. They were English men, and they threw in a person. Somebody said he was Italian, and somebody said he was black. I don't know because you can't tell from the video. Well, maybe when I came out. The English aren't known for bathing. Maybe he was just getting a little quick bath in. Boy, we started just whole hooligan thing.

You get me? So, you understand? Yeah, I did see. Here's what I'll say is that I do think, and obviously, we have no idea because we're not on the ground. We're not at Wembley. But from the reaction in the media, I do think that in 2021, people are getting in front of it

being like, you can't blame these guys. Like, blame the coach and also penalty kicks. Actually, this is a question that I want to know your take on. Ending a game in penalties. Are you for it or are you against it? Because there's a lot of people who think it's terrible. Terrible way to crown a champion. It's obviously thrilling.

You get some of the most incredible moments in the sport from this. But where do you side on that? Now, I'm with it, man. It's part of the game. You get me? If you can't win it in 120, then it's got to go to a penalty shootout.

Yeah, yeah. At some point, the players just get too tired. You can't keep playing forever and ever and ever. Well, I always thought. Yeah, because they're playing at high intensity, blood. Yeah, I thought what they should do is. They walk around a lot. They should, at the start of extra time,

take two men off per side. Yeah. And have it just be nine a side. And then maybe if it goes to the second overtime. Keep going until it's one on one. Then you go seven on one. And then you end up just one on one, full-sized field. And then first to 10 goals wins.

Harry Kane's just tapping it in over and over and over. This is why you might do NFL and basketball. You can't be off sides if there's only one guy on your team. People love to say their retort is always like, could you imagine if you ended an NFL game or a college football game? Well, college football, over time, kind of is that. They both started at the 25, and then you score and score

and score. It's awesome. It's fucking awesome. The only kicks is shooting a ball and then saving a ball, which is a pretty big part of soccer. So it's not saying it's completely unrelated to the rest of the game. It's a pretty big part of the game

that you're doing to crown the champion. I do understand why people are like, it's not. There's no passing. It's not a team sport at that point. It's just an exhibition. But those people, Mike Greenberg, I'm looking at your direction, need to figure out a better way to solve it.

Besides, I think we just did with our one-on-one. They need to have a smart person to take a look at it and see, is there a way that we can do this a little bit different? Because it does, when you have a team like Italy that wins a couple of games and penalty kicks, it does feel like a little cheap, right? You're able to defend, defend, defend, stretch it out

until overtime, stretch out into PKs. And then all you have to do is make three shots from 12 yards out, and you end up winning the game. Yeah, but if that's your tactic, that's your tactic. That's how you're going to go at it. It's a tactical game. In tournament. You understand?

It's who wins the tactical battle. I have some silver linings for you, if you'd like to hear them. Number one is, 2016 Euros, France lost in the final at home and then went on to win the World Cup. So England just lost at home in the 2020. They're calling it the 2020 Euros. So they'll go and win the World Cup, I think.

I think that's pretty much a lock, guaranteed in the desert that no one's going to watch, because it's going to be in the middle of football season. My other silver lining is your haircut looks great, even though you probably shouldn't have gotten it right before the biggest game of your life. And then three is the mini car.

The mini car. What do you think about the mini car? Pretty cool, right? The mini car that brings the ball out? I feel like they got that idea from an American. That's something I can see. That's something I can see a lot of fucking Super Bowl. Yep.

I wish. It's just coming out, and then Brady just picking it up like, oh, hey. I want everything on a mini car. Like, that is the coolest way to start a game, is to just have a mini car driving the ball. Blah, blah, I knew you would like it. Yeah, of course.

Why wouldn't you like it? What's not to like? What do you have against the mini car? Nothing. It was just. Sounds like you don't like it. It sounds like you really don't like the mini car. You think that it's one of the corporate American innovations

to sport? Yeah. Which it is, I think it's one of the DHL. If something bad happens to the mini car, I think troops would be the first person I'd look to. You can blow the mini car up? I ain't going to. Whoa, are you mad?

Dude, you better not. I'd be so mad. I fucking love that. I'm trying to get back in the country. Yeah. So all right, so your back again is his podcast. When are you coming back? I'm back on Thursday.

Whoa. You coming home on Thursday? Yeah. Wow. OK. Well, I feel bad for you. I really do. I do think that I was rooting for the most pain,

because why not? And then when it happened, I was like, damn, the fact that it was soccer and it was, you know, you're there, I felt really bad for you. I just want to tell you that as a friend. I truly did. I still liked enjoying watching like England lose and watching the pain.

But I did feel bad for you in that moment. Thank you. That's nice of me. It is. I think we did say over the last several weeks that we're rooting for England to get to the finals and then lose in penalty kicks. Yeah.

I think we actually, we may have manifested that into happening. Because it's, I mean, it's a good storyline. And it's good for ratings, truth. And when you finally win it all, it's even better. And let me just say, fuck Gazza's world, blood. Oh, what did he do? What did he do?

Fucking talking about a soccer, blood. Oh, no. Fucking dickhead. So what Dave, so what Dave let him out the pocket. Oh, last question. Do you think Harry Kane's a ball hog? Because I do. What do you mean a ball hog?

He just, he like intercepts other people's passes that are directed to someone else. He dribbles too much. He did it to fucking, he did it to, he did it to Grealish in the STEMI's. Yes. He's a ball hog. In the 90s of a minute.

Yes. The ball sterling whipped it and it was for Grealish and then he come and tried to, and then he done some bullshit with it. But like, he's a striker in it. Like I remember all of me used to do it as well. Like I remember fucking Pires would whip it in and only would take it off Burkham.

Because it's just that striker mentality when the ball comes across your natural instinct is to go. You're not going to let it go. That's how you've got all these goals. Because when it comes to you, it's just, boom, when you see it, you just brass it. So I want to really say it's a ball hog. OK.

I have one last, last question. It seems to me that maybe the biggest champion of all in this Euro tournament was VAR. Because I feel like VAR got it right for the most part. There were no, there were no VAR controversies. Are you starting to come around on VAR? VAR was very good in the Euros. But I've never had that.

My problem with VAR is the people that use it. Not actual VAR. Because VAR does what it's supposed to do. You know what I'm saying? It's the people that make the decisions that fuck up VAR. It's like guns don't kill people. People kill people. You know what I'm saying?

So the people that was running it in the Euros should run it in the Premier League. Then it would work. Yeah. I actually thought it worked really well. I was shocked at how seamless the VAR experience was in this tournament. I'm just surprised that soccer's,

I was surprised that when Chilini pulled soccer that I never went to VAR. I'm a big VAR should just get a thicker line believer. If they just made the line like three times as thick, it would make the game a lot better. Because a lot of the goals would go in. They said they was looking at doing something like that. And they were going to, and what they would do is,

the decisions would favor the striker, not the defender. Yeah, just make it a little bit thicker. That way when you look at it, you're like, OK, well, it's harder to figure this out. Boom. Goal stand. Because some of the decisions are mad tight. Like even the amount of each goal that was scored against it,

that was disallowed. That was literally like, that was like a fucking nose hair. Yeah, I think that when they show the replay of the offsides call where they have like the different colored lines for each player and like where their shoulders, that's too confusing for me. Just turn like the offsides position. That entire side of the field should be like bright red.

And if the offensive guy is standing in like what appears to be a giant lava pit to the right behind that last defender, that's how I can tell if it's offsides. I don't like the whole like tiny yellow line, tiny red line. That's too, it looks too much like math for me. So it gets me confused. That's why they do it because it's tight decisions.

So they have to do the two lines like that and then they pull it. I'm just too dumb, I think is my problem. All right, well, troops. We'll see you on Thursday, safe flight. Sorry again, three lines coming home. We'll just wait till you go to the desert in the AC. Where is it? Cutter.

You'll get them in cutter. You get them in cutter, dude. Qatar. Oh, also just a little heads up because I know you care. The US is actually about to win a trophy. So are we in the Gold Cup final? This is, I think, the opening round of the Gold Cup. Well, that's close enough.

But you got it, step one. Gold Cup. Well, you did see our Conca Calf Champions League final cup that we won against Mexico a couple months ago. You remember that? So our trophy case is full and yours is, I don't know what, I mean, you guys haven't won anything. They were doing it like if you're 65 years old

and English guy is 65 years old, you've never seen a major trophy win. No one cares what you won. Were you happy for Messi, though? I think some people do. Were you at least happy that Messi was able to accomplish something? The goat.

F**k, Messi. Oh, f**k you. Why do you hate Messi? Is this Falkland Islands beef still or what? Pinaldo, you're a big Pinaldo guy? Rinaldo. No, his name is Pinaldo because he only hits penalties. Oh, Pinaldo.

Connor McGregor has released his statement. Should we listen to it live on the show? Yeah. Let's listen to it. Let me get it on. How many times is he gonna say, fook? All right. Here we go.

This is Connor McGregor. He released this 20 minutes ago. We're going to react a lot. What's up, FyFy, and Atari is here, just out of the surgery room. Everything went to plan. Everything went perfect. I'm feeling tremendous.

We've got six weeks on our crutch now, and then we begin to build back. And, you know, I want to thank all the fans all around the world for your messages of support. I hope you all enjoyed the show. I want to thank all the fans and attendants at the T-Mobile Arena, 21,800 fans and attendants. The place was absolutely electric. And it would have been, it was a hell of a force round. It would have been nice to get into that second round.

And then, you know, to see what's what. But it is what it is. That's the nature of the business, a clean break of the tibia. And it was not to be, you know. Dustin, you can celebrate that illegitimate win all you want. But you do nothing in there. That second round would have shown all. And, you know, all we do know is we go team.

We dust ourselves off. We build ourselves back. And we come back better than ever. Let's go team. That's it? Okay. I mean, I was kind of, I was expecting something bigger. I'm a little disappointed actually from Connor.

Yeah. I wanted to just say something about Dustin Poirier's wife. Yeah. Just check my Instagram DMs and there she is again. Yeah. I was also hoping. Well, I really liked the great spin zone. You like that one?

That was good. That was Northern Irish. Yeah. I don't know if you picked it up. That was more where Rory McElroy's from. Yeah. It's Belfast. Yeah.

But not Dublin. How awesome was that guy who just walked and grabbed that club from Rory? In this respect to that guy. He just he's rolled up there and then Rory. I got to take Rory's man card on that one. Rory was just like, and you know what? It's Caddy too. What really shows is that you can do anything that you want as long as you do it with enough

confidence and people will think like, oh, maybe there's a chance he's supposed to be taking my club and doing a practice swing with it because he certainly looked like he was meant to be there. But I like what Connor was saying like, if you'd only gotten to see the second round, that's when I was going to kick his ass. I didn't want to come out the gate too quickly and beat him up in the first round. Real young. That's real life.

Yeah. It's Vince Young. Like I would have matched. Yeah. If something had happened that never ended up happening. Totally. What was Vince Young's? I'd chill out in the first half and go the fuck off.

The second half go the fuck off. Yeah. He was about to go the fuck off. All right. So a couple segments. We have a respect to Biz. So this is MMA journalist getting very upset because Addison Ray, TikTok star, people are saying she's not a celebrity.

She's got like 38 million Instagram followers. I think she's a celebrity. That counts. She posted a tweet being like, LOL went to three months of journalism school and now look at me here. And people got big mad. They got very upset. Journalists got very upset that they were being mocked, that someone else was getting

an opportunity even though they went to Syracuse or Northwestern or Missouri and they don't have the same opportunity. So where do we land on this? And the respect to Biz. I feel like we should ask Jake about this. It hit him hard. As somebody who spent money going to college to get a degree, to do this professionally, do you think that she should have been banned from the arena?

I don't think she should have been banned from the arena, but it's the way life works. You gotta, there's a lot of, you gotta get lucky in the business too. There's, that's how it works. There are a lot of different ways to get into the business. And I think it was just mostly the fact that she said that she spent three months in journalism school. She should have just been like, I didn't go to journalism school and look, I'm here. But the three months is really twisting that knife a little bit.

I do think that journalists kind of miss the point sometimes when it comes to sports journalists. We're not talking about another, you know, big Jays. Yeah. She, she gets people to watch. Like she's also fucking around. Yeah. She's fucking around. But she also, like when, when people will criticize her and be like, she doesn't have

any talents. Like, well, she has 38 million Instagram followers. Like if people care about her, right? Like you can't do that guy who's sitting there, who's got a Syracuse degree, you know, gathering dust. You should have been hotter and, and had people care about you more. Yeah. Does this hurt?

No, I understand. Well, it's that. And it's also like the UFC isn't really a bastion of journalists and integrity to begin with. You don't have woodward, you don't have Woodward and Bernstein covering Dana White. It's the fight game. It's just all about getting eyeballs on as many things as possible. Correct.

Yes. I don't think that you necessarily have to have a J school degree to ask Conor McGregor, like, Hey, Conor, are you going to let your family watch you in this guy's life tonight? Right. Robbie Fox, our guy here. Great UFC journalist. Yes. Not really.

I wouldn't say that he's the hardest hitting question to ask her of Conor McGregor. He's a fan and he treats the sport like it's fun, which I think that a lot of times people have gotten sick of watching sports like it's something bad that they're watching on. If Addison Ray is breaking down, like if there is a big controversy in the UFC, money embezzlement or some like dark, you know, side of the UFC and you're asking Addison Ray to do the investigation on it, then yeah, I would probably be on your side. You're probably right. Addison Ray is not the person for that job.

A red carpet where you could probably get actually better answers when you have an attractive celebrity tiktokter. Well, I mean, she is. That's why she got. Are you going to say she's not bonk me? How she she's definitely over it. Right. I hope.

How old is she? What do you think she was going to college when she was 16? Oh, yeah, good point. Thank you. 20 years old. Thank you. My point is I would actually argue that she probably can get more out of some of these guys than if you have like a guy standing in a suit, a frumpy guy standing in a suit

who went to Medill with a mustard stain on his tie being like, Hey, before you this big fight of your life, like I want to ask you what's what's your grappling strategy? Yeah, the second round going to be like, yeah, listen, she's not she's not going to be getting into like the ins and outs of performance enhancing drugs and like how certain fighters may or may not be skirting those tests. I'm looking at her Instagram page right now just for research. I followed her. I think that she's I did.

She looks to be more than qualified. Good job to get a white to get Robbie Fox. I guess is as the success story himself and he's interviewing Dana White. He didn't go to journalism school. Robbie's also hot as fuck. Yeah, is that long hair and say, yeah, people were saying he should get a haircut. No, wrong. Big time wrong.

All right. I had one more respect the biz for you, Jake. We're going to put you on the hot seat. What do you think about Colin Coward as a broadcaster? Like as a talk show host? Yeah, like, yeah, his career. Like, do you have respect for what he's been able to do? Yeah.

All right. So he had a tweet over the weekend. I said, if you're offended by golfers dropping F bombs on a hot mic on TV, we can't be friends, non-negotiable. If I ran a network, I would demand six F bombs per round. Totally authentic and how guys talk on a course. What do you think about that? I think the way to think that things are going, you're going to see a lot more

alternate broadcast options spread zone. Like you've talked about multiple times. I feel like there's going to be an option one day. Yes, the injury zone. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Red bone. Yeah, red bone. Me and you on the spread zone.

Spread zone. The I love that Colin Coward said this is how guys talk and he still did F bomb. Instead of saying he didn't say fuck. How guys talk. Respect. I also think that if you just say how guys talk, then you're not a guy. Like you just already broke guy code. It's literally like saying man card.

Yeah, right. What the fuck do you guys don't actually we don't sit around taking each other's man cards off besides on this show. Don't fucking tell everyone how we talk on the course. Come on. That's me, dude. Colin, they're chicks that follow you on Twitter. Yeah. What the fuck, bro?

Wait, this was over. Oh, was I started money. Oh, so it was from the last time the match happened. I think it got resurfaced because it was the match last week. So I just grabbed it and I was like, I wanted to bring it up, you know, to your attention when he came back. Colin, I think that there's actually a better idea than this is you're only allowed to cuss on this channel.

Yes, yes, yes. Just fuck fucking pussy. Yeah, fuck shit. Colin, you have a podcast now. You can you can fucking swear and let the see it. Let the cunts fly, Colin. Yeah, do it. All right.

Last one thoughts and prayers to Lamar Odom. So Courtney Kardashian or sorry, Chloe Kardashian posted an Instagram picture of her looking attractive. She was in a bikini with outdoor shower. How was she followed her to I don't I don't. But she. Listen, you can follow people. Instagram's there for a reason, buddy.

What do you mean? You follow, follow. No, I'm just saying you brought up acid, right? You brought the story and you were like, I started following her. No, I don't. Actually, we were like, I fall. I'm going to start. All right.

I get I get all I'm trying to get in here. Yeah, I'm trying to get your journalism strategies. I get all my news through Kim. But anyway, she the Lamar Odom said, Hottie in the comment section. And Tristan Thompson said, God brought you back the first time. Play if you want different results. I just fucking love that. Tristan's like, I'm one phone call away from OJ.

Yes, I will absolutely. And I actually do think that Christian has probably killed seven or eight thousand people. Yeah. What was the car? More. Oh, I think he did. I think he's OK. Lamar Odom, though, it's actually the other. Tristan Thompson doesn't realize the other way around.

Like if you come back from the dead, you should be, you know, shooting your shot everywhere. House money at that point. Yeah. What do you care? Yeah, also, it's Lamar Odom. Like he's unbunkable almost because like everyone knows he's the horniest person maybe ever. He died at a fucking cat house.

Yeah. That is you. You can't. That's the that's a final boss of horny. Yeah. All of the blood from his heart went to his dick and. That became his heart stayed there. Yeah, that's where his head is now. And then when branders and then when his boner died, he died.

Yeah, that's exactly the science behind all I say. Let Lamar shoot a shot. He's probably going to break it anyways. Yeah, that's true. All right. Anything else, Billy, do you have a recap? Colin Coward also posted a weird photo with his daughter where he said he was in Wyoming. But the background looked like a green screen or like a picture.

The plot thickens. So just so you don't have a recap, though, because that was something we just talked about. You just popped in your head about that. But the other stuff. Got it. That's cool. Can I discuss everything? Yeah, OK.

All right, I'm looking at this picture changing. OK, all right, that's fine. You think that's a green screen? Yeah, something weird. Yeah, the lighting is off there, isn't it? Wait, what is this picture? Wyoming. He's just trying to put mountains in the background.

He just heard a podcast last week. Say fuck out on the golf course. Am I the best part about being in Wyoming? Oh, he follows me. I don't follow him. He'll. Oh, how he refollowed you? No, on Instagram.

Oh, yeah, he did unfollow me. Wait, which picture are you talking about? Because he unfollowed me on Twitter. Really? Yeah. Fucking pussy. All right, numbers. By the way, what was the number?

Oh, 69, Billy. You missed it. I know. That was a bummer. 19. 61. Last time it was 69. 18 followed.

Squirrels can survive terminal velocity. Oh my god. Fuck. Oh, what is that? Oh, fuck yeah. Are you kidding me? 69. What?

Back to back 69s. That's unbelievable. Bonk on the lottery machine. Am I the first double winner? No. Maybe. Fuck, he is. Damn it.

Still got it. It sucks, too, because you just didn't do your job the entire show, and then you get 69. Now you're the winner. Damn it. Love you guys. I'll be your dream. I'll be your wish.

I'll be your fantasy. I'll be your rock. I'll be your love. Be everything that you need. I'll love you more with every bet, truly, madly, deeply, I will be strong. I will be by your foes. I'll have your love.
