You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. I want to ask the group Stugatz because we were talking about mixed martial arts before and Conor McGregor hasn't won a fight in a really long time, but he's still that sport's biggest star just in terms of name power and how he can fill an arena if he decides to fight but Chael Sonnen has just casually thrown out there hey McGregor's in rehab and this is Chael Sonnen talking and he's not citing sources and he's a wrestling villain and he says reckless stuff but he also has been right on a handful of occasions and people have been thinking from video that they've seen that Connor villain and he says reckless stuff, but he also has been right on a handful of occasions.

And people have been thinking from video that they've seen that Conor McGregor is totally partying out of control for years now. They're also mysterious about what the actual injury is here, which is leading to some, you know, speculation. It's leading to a ton of speculation. Greg is nodding vigorously and I cannot stop staring at that mustache. It's a beauty. It's going to come in great because I grow them low and slow, you know. I don't know, I'm not like these guys who can go from clean shaven to nothing in a matter of a week.

Low and slow I grow mine. In about, give me two months. In two months two months This is gonna be lavish and luxurious. It's not gonna be lavish It will be lavish and luxurious. I can grow a goatee. I'm taking away the goatee and just doing the stash It's gonna be a goatee. Yeah, that's right a goatee. I may need to dye You know give it a little help on the color, but it's going to come in lavish. It's going to be a thick bushy mustache in a couple of months. It's not the worst thing in hair, but only because Landon Donovan had what happened to him yesterday where a lot of people were pointing out that the left side of his head, it just

looked like the state of Florida, the peninsula of Florida in terms of hair. It was not a look he was going for, and it's now being reported by one of his friends that he's mid-hair transplant, is that what it is? Mike McGee, an MLS legend, that never really got a fair shot with the national team, I should say, texted Landon Donovan. I thought I had seen this out of the corner of my eye,

the first assignment that Landon had, and I was like, my guy, the first assignment that Landon had, and I was like, my guy, he's finally doing it because he's really holding onto those 11 hairs on top of his head. Who goes for that look? Yeah, really. According to this text is,

they said it wouldn't be shown on television. I'm having a hair transplant procedure. Oh my. But dude, if you're gonna, you just do the entire head, you shave the entire head in advance of the transplant How would that not show up like? I don't understand how it is that he thought he was gonna go on television looking that way and no one would notice Like what does he think they can do television wise with graphics for me for a moment forget about showing up on television

That is a psychotic hairstyle to be just walking out of the house with. Just shave your head, like entirely? Yeah, you would shave. Instead of trying a thing, and then you like, you put the seedlings or whatever? I would shave my head entirely at that point. Can they put it on the other side?

Well, the other, no. There's a horseshoe all the way around. It goes all the way around, because that's where they take the flap of skin. To me, it's always interesting. I know that Michael Jordan made a bald cool, but I cannot respect you athletically if you have the cul de sac. Like if you're hanging on to just the Jimbo Fisher haircut, like for those listening along in the podcast, I don't know exactly how to articulate it, but Landon Donovan looks more bald like this

than if he were actually bald. Do you understand what I'm saying? I can't take you seriously as an athlete if you are somebody who has the cul-de-sac of hair. Yeah. Who's the greatest athlete- Terry Bradshaw. We've ever had, that's a good one.

Well, it's just, that's why Manu Janobili's Euro-Sep was always unguardable. of hair. Who's the greatest athlete we've ever had? That's a good one. That's why Manu Janobli's Euro step was always unguardable because he's like barreling down on a dude and he's like there's no way this guy's got to move. But he was just bald spot in the back wasn't he? Yeah, the receding hairline, the male pattern baldness. World Be Free. World Be Free is also a good one. He also made it, it seemed less dorky than what it is that Landon Donovan has, working in his prime, not now. This is one of the worst things

I've ever seen done with hair. Baseball hats are always like a cool cheat code too, because you're like, yeah, fireballer, Nolan Ryan, oh man, John Smoltz, what a man, I got no shot there. And then they take off their hats and you're like, really? You mentioned that. Dan Hurley joining us in a baseball cap looked about 30 years younger than he actually is on the sideline.

Great cheat code. Mm-hmm. God bless hats. The baseball cap does help there. Matt Hasselbeck. It's not a long list. Jim Furyk. Speaking of the baseball hat, I am telling you,

Bryson DeChambeau became popular once he ditched the Kangol and went with a baseball hat. I am telling you, Bryson DeChambeau became popular once he ditched the Kangol and went with a baseball hat. I am telling you, it helped. It helped everything for Bryson DeChambeau. Wow. People forgot that he's taking all that blood money from South Africa. Didn't even care.

South Africa? I mean, Saudi Arabia. I mean, he may be involved with the diamond trade, I guess. Same in the Shrevegs. Different atrocities. Same in the Shrevegs. Get your atrocities right, would you please?
