We Can't Wait For Football: We Talk ESPY's, WNBA Valuations, Days of Thunder, Movie Reviews, and Random Sport Rumors

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Foreign. [00:00:05] Speaker B: Welcome back. This is Source from the sofa. Tuesday night, July 22nd. Not a lot going on, to be honest with you. In the world of sports. There was the. The British Open or the Scottish Open or whatever it was for golf this past weekend. [00:00:22] Speaker C: Rum. Rum. It's the Open Championship. [00:00:25] Speaker B: The Open. My bad. Yeah. The Open Championship. [00:00:27] Speaker C: It's. It's like Ohio State. It's the Open. [00:00:30] Speaker B: I. I hate that about Ohio State. I really can't stand that at Ohio State. [00:00:34] Speaker A: I like that. I like that about Ohio State. [00:00:36] Speaker B: Do. [00:00:36] Speaker A: Yeah. Just like you have the U for Miami, so. [00:00:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:00:41] Speaker A: I mean, the. [00:00:42] Speaker B: Going on the Open, I didn't really watch that. It's like one of the few. It was so on. It was on so early. [00:00:48] Speaker A: It was just. Plus, it was dominated, too. [00:00:52] Speaker C: That's what happens when they play them, you know, in Europe. You know, it's a little bit earlier. [00:00:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:00:57] Speaker C: Rome doesn't know the Formula One races start that early, too. He generally misses the start of those two because they start a little early. [00:01:04] Speaker A: I think he knows. It's just. He's preoccupied of other things. [00:01:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:01:09] Speaker A: And he can't get around to it. You know, he might jump in, like, lap 30 to 40, and then he kind of dozes back off and you watch some highlights afterwards. [00:01:18] Speaker B: It's been like that for, like, the second half of the first half, for sure. [00:01:22] Speaker C: Second half of the first half. [00:01:24] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:01:26] Speaker B: 100 of the time. [00:01:27] Speaker C: Yeah, there you go. The Open was dominant, though. Scheffler, man, he's just. He's. He's a step ahead of everybody else right now. I mean, he's. He's got some comparable stats to kind of prime Tiger right now during that, like. Oh, like 2001 run where tiger won, like, the Tiger Slam and just utterly dominant. I know there's some stuff out in the golf media about that, but I think even Rory had quotes basically saying, like, yeah, there's him and everybody else below that. [00:01:55] Speaker B: He dominated Roy. Rory came back. He made it. [00:01:59] Speaker A: He played pretty well. [00:02:00] Speaker B: I only saw highlights, so not too much. The Demby ABA finals that happened. Or not finals, All Star game that happened. There's, like, a lot of chatter on. We're just gonna. This whole episode, basically, whoever's listening, it's a. It's a wild card. It's a wild card episode. I don't think we've ever had one of these. [00:02:19] Speaker C: It is that time of the year, you know, that's why they put the SBS on. Right. The day after the MLB All Star, because there's nothing going on in the world of sports. [00:02:26] Speaker B: Was that on after we did our pod last week? It was, huh? [00:02:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:31] Speaker B: Dude. Did you guys watch the sps? [00:02:34] Speaker C: I did not. I saw some Shane Gillis, like, highlights from monologues and stuff was pretty funny. I like the Norm MacDonald callback. I'm a big Norm MacDonald fan. [00:02:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:42] Speaker C: Like, his hosting of the ESPYs is up there, which is making people, just everyone, super uncomfortable. And there's some good stuff that Gillis was doing. [00:02:49] Speaker B: Dude, it was so uncomfortable. Like, nobody laughed. It was all deadpanned. The WNBA joke where he panned to his friend's wife. Like, that was great. And just like, that was like a joke for himself and all comedians. It was like an inside joke. That was. That was awesome. [00:03:05] Speaker C: Honestly, it's a joke for people who just, like, Like Rome, you seriously do watch the wnba. But, like, when I looked at her, I'm like, I don't know who that is, but she could be in the wnba. Like, I don't know. Like, but that's probably people talking about all this great WNB stuff you don't watch. [00:03:18] Speaker B: You know, I thought she was, like, too refined, too pretty to, like, no way. And then, then, then it came down. It's really funny. [00:03:25] Speaker C: It was. It was well executed, though. And like. And then the call out, the timing of. [00:03:29] Speaker B: He got some flack over, like, the Caitlin Clark joke. I don't know if you heard that one. [00:03:33] Speaker A: I think. I know you're talking about Rome, but I thought. I thought it was pretty funny. [00:03:37] Speaker B: Did you? Yeah, it was iffy for me. I. He got flack for the Carl Anthony Towns, more or less calling him gay on public tv. That was pretty funny. I guess. The SGA joke, he was calling people out in the audience. You guys hear that one? [00:03:56] Speaker C: No, I didn't hear that one. [00:03:56] Speaker B: And he's like. And there's sga. So everyone around him now is in foul trouble. SJ did not smile at all in that one. That was. That was great. Yeah. It was just so uncomfortable. It was awesome. [00:04:09] Speaker C: I. It's an audience. Like, I don't know. Like, I think sports at a lot of times take themselves way too seriously. And I. So when you get. When you get to these athletes, Lyle, they, like, I. They're not used to probably being the butt of the joke. They're used to being, like, the coolest person in the room at all time. And, like, it's one thing when you do, like, award shows to celebrities, because a lot of times, like, actors and actresses and stuff, like, when you do in the Academy Awards. Like they play into self deprecating a lot in their career. So it's like they'll play along with most of the time with what's going on. I guess unless you're. You're Will Smith or Chris Rock or whatever it's going to be. But, but, but I think when you get to athletes though, like these are, these are the coolest people for their entire lives because they were athletes wherever they're at and no one ever said anything. So you get into these, these things. They don't. They just, they're not built to be made fun of in that kind of this public setting. It's just, it's a way different audience that I think when you get like award show type of stuff. [00:05:08] Speaker B: Where do you guys rank it? Like from what you saw? Shane Gillis 1 through 10, 10 being classic instant. [00:05:16] Speaker C: The thing with the SP is honestly there's not many memorable moments for me when you think of the history because like, like I think back to the norm MacDonald one is up there because it was so uncomfortable and the jokes he was telling that were up there. The Jamie Foxx one was one. When he sang to Serena Williams, they did like the. Okay, there was one that was, that was pretty good. I mean it was, it was okay. Maybe give it like a seven. [00:05:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:05:40] Speaker C: Like, and what, what's gonna be. Because he'll probably get called for some of the memorable joke. Like there was more of the cringe jokes and the callbacks. But yeah, it was okay. Like the SP0. It's a weird show because it's like, like you get whoever wants to show up. You don't get everybody. [00:05:57] Speaker A: It seemed like it used to be pretty popular, but now it just kind of just pops up. Like it used to be advertised for it. I thought. I didn't even know it was on until like I saw like, dude, I. [00:06:06] Speaker B: Did not know it was going on or it was coming up. [00:06:08] Speaker A: I feel like it used to be hyped up like at least a week before. Like get ready for the ESPYs hosted by, you know, like they were kind of like, like the Grammys. They would kind of hype it up and now it's just like happens and then you got to watch like replays on YouTube and stuff. Instagram. [00:06:22] Speaker C: I mean that's where most. I mean a lot of these, I mean award shows overall, if you look at ratings of the Academy Awards and the Emmys and the Grammys and all these type of things, like from their heyday, like the, the ratings are steep decline because people aren't as interested in, in the whole like presentation and what these are. And every year like, like I, I like the, I like movies, I like watching the Academy Awards. It's always kind of funny because generally it's a bunch of movies like most people haven't seen which is always the rub against the Academy Awards. But like, I mean just overall like interest drop because there's so many different things. And when it comes to sports it's like okay, we're giving away awards for a bunch of athletes that play for awards to begin with. So we're giving like secondary awards in. So it's always, always kind of like a weird concept. But like back in the day when ESPN's the Biggest Thing on the planet when it comes to like sports and they're the worldwide leader and like everyone's trying to get their espn. Like I think it was, I think it was a different because it was, it was a, it was a highlight of where things are at. But now like, I mean ESPN is just so, so much more of a different network now because now it, there's less personality driven stuff and it's literally just you need to ESPN because they're going to have the NBA and the NHL and the NFL and like they're just going to have the games. We're not really making like, we're all not waiting to watch Sports center and have like the personalities and that be like, you know what we find funny because we would have been saying like hey, we got Dan Patrick and Stuart Scott and Rich Eisen and Keith Doberman and like Craig Kilborn and stuff. They're going to be like bouncing around at the, at the sbs like telling jokes and stuff like that where you know, those guys were stars. Like I don't, I don't watch Sports center like I used to. But that was part of our, part of our like man you were watching SportsCenter three times a day. Man you watched it before school. You watching the, the 3:00pm here on the west when he came home and then you're watching it at 11 o' clock after everyone kind of goes to bed. But now at this point you're like, ah, go online. I'm on Twitter, you know, go on Instagram reels. They're going to have something up. That's, that's where I'm going to get this information. [00:08:19] Speaker A: Yeah, you had to, you know, Sports center late night baseball tonight. That's where you got all your baseball inside information. That was like back in the day 10 to midnight, right there. Boom. Baseball Tonight, Sports Center. That's how it was back then, but, yeah, not no more. [00:08:33] Speaker B: You know what? I don't really remember who's hosted the SPS in the past. I just. I'm just drawing a blank right now. [00:08:39] Speaker C: Which is why you asked me. [00:08:40] Speaker A: I'm like, yeah, didn't Pat McAfee get some slack a few years ago when he did it? [00:08:47] Speaker B: I. I'm sure he did. I'm sure he did. I wanted some funny ones that passed. I'm just. [00:08:54] Speaker A: LeBron. Didn't LeBron host it, like, when he, like, was in the last five, six years ago? I don't know. I don't like you, Rome. I don't really remember a lot of the guys that hosted it. [00:09:03] Speaker C: Yeah, there's been 29 different hosts in 33 years. So Serena hosted it last year. Okay, don't remember that. Steph Curry hosted it in 2022. Anthony Mackey. So the new Captain America hosted it. I don't remember. [00:09:22] Speaker B: Well, the new Captain America just shaking her head. [00:09:24] Speaker C: Well, he was. He was. He was Falcon. [00:09:27] Speaker A: Yeah, I know who you're talking about, but I don't remember anything special about that. [00:09:32] Speaker C: You had Russell Wilson and Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird host the virtual ESPYs during the 2020 pandemic year. [00:09:39] Speaker B: That's not gonna be funny. [00:09:40] Speaker C: No. Tracy Morgan in 2019. [00:09:43] Speaker B: That's probably. [00:09:44] Speaker C: That may have been a good one. [00:09:45] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:09:47] Speaker C: Danica Patrick. No one cared about that, probably. I don't. I don't know. In that setting. Peyton Manning. I think that was post retirement. [00:09:56] Speaker B: He's funny. [00:09:58] Speaker C: I think he did some. Yeah, yeah. John Cena, hosted in 2016. [00:10:03] Speaker B: He's kind of goofy, but I. I can see that going. [00:10:05] Speaker C: Well, Joel McHale probably was funny. [00:10:09] Speaker A: Yeah, probably so. [00:10:11] Speaker C: Drake in 2014. Don't remember that. I'm assuming he was just, like, you know, kissing ass to all the. All the athletes out there trying to. [00:10:20] Speaker B: Get courtside seats everywhere. [00:10:21] Speaker C: Yeah. John Ham, interesting choice in 2013. So that was. That was the height of Mad Men. [00:10:28] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm a big John Hamm guy. [00:10:30] Speaker C: Okay, Rob, I. I like John Ham, too. Have you watched the new show, John Hamm's new show on Apple TV Plus? [00:10:35] Speaker B: No, I don't got Apple tv. I got. I gotta sign up for it. [00:10:38] Speaker C: Okay. [00:10:38] Speaker A: Which one is that one? [00:10:40] Speaker C: Your friends and neighbors? [00:10:42] Speaker A: I think you mentioned that. Where he's like, an out of, like, job and robbing people or something. Yeah, yeah, you mentioned it on one of the pods, maybe four or five Months ago or something like that. But yeah, it's a good, good show. [00:10:55] Speaker C: Rob Riggle in 2012. [00:10:57] Speaker A: That's probably funny. [00:10:59] Speaker C: Yeah, that's when probably Wriggle was doing the Fox pregame show and everything like that. [00:11:03] Speaker B: When he's like hit or miss for me. [00:11:06] Speaker C: Yep. Seth Meyers did two years in a row. 2010, 2011. I do remember that. [00:11:12] Speaker B: You remember that? Yeah, A lot of people didn't like him. [00:11:15] Speaker C: I think Seth Meyer's got. It has got an interesting comedic style. [00:11:19] Speaker B: He has a punchable face. He just like the way he comes. [00:11:21] Speaker C: Definitely has that. Yeah, definitely has that. I do like. I do. I do like Seth Meyers, though. He did Weekend Update and different things like that on Saturday Night Live. His late show stuff, he does pretty good. Samuel Jackson hosted it for the fourth time in 2009. [00:11:38] Speaker B: Wow. That's probably decent. [00:11:40] Speaker C: Justin Timberlake in 08. So here's your LeBron one. LeBron and Jimmy Kimmel in 2007. [00:11:48] Speaker B: All right. [00:11:49] Speaker C: But yeah, there's her, I guess. Dennis Miller in the first two. Probably your standout. Probably there too. [00:11:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:58] Speaker C: 93, 94. [00:12:01] Speaker A: So I don't think it's Miller, man. [00:12:03] Speaker C: Yeah, an interesting lineup of different SB hosts there going back through the years now. [00:12:08] Speaker B: It's great. They actually got a big comedian there and he delivered like his own style. Didn't appeal to anybody. It was so uncomfortable. It was great in that aspect. Pretty comedic. Yeah. Speaking of late night, lots of rumors going around. I don't know if you guys are keeping trap track of everything. [00:12:31] Speaker C: The Late Show. [00:12:32] Speaker B: Yeah, Late shows being canned. A lot of people saying like it's like the conspiracy theories, like him talking the whole Trump thing and then all of a sudden he's getting canned the next day or so. Trump's trying to take credit for it as well. He went on a rant, I think today on X, calling out Fallon and, and Kimmel and everybody else. [00:12:53] Speaker A: Trump's been going a little crazy, man, calling out that and then calling out the commanders and guardians about name changes and stadium permit hold up. [00:13:03] Speaker B: So he literally posted on X that no president should be, you know, dealing with name changes for teams. And it's a verified tech, you know, post. Then here he is years later doing the exact same thing. It's comical, man. It's. It's just these things just strike themselves. [00:13:22] Speaker C: I don't think we need to get no political here. But it seems to be. There's a. There's a lot of conversation because he doesn't want us talking about something else. [00:13:30] Speaker B: Oh, I've seen files. [00:13:33] Speaker A: What files? [00:13:34] Speaker B: What files? I did like that Gillis joke. That was, that was perfect. That was perfect. At the FC's, he's like, I wrote a Epstein joke but just disappeared. I guess we'll just ignore it like a whole country. It's like just move on with our lives. [00:13:52] Speaker C: Yeah, we're just, we're just talking mile, mile a minute on different subjects so we don't talk about that stuff. [00:13:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:58] Speaker C: But, yeah. Late, late, Late show getting canceled. That is, that is wild. [00:14:02] Speaker B: I call bullshit though. Them losing 40 million a year and like finally them talking about it. [00:14:07] Speaker C: Paramount Global as the parent company has been in financial, bad financial trouble. It's just crazy to me that it's the number one show in late night and you just straight up cancel it. You don't talk about like, you know, reducing costs or anything like that. You're, you know, you're, you're merging with something else and you're like, hey, we're giving up on late night after 30 years and we have like the number one. It just, there's a lot of BS, I think, involved in that decision. I mean, Late Night overall, I think is a failing model from a ratings perspective. But the, the ones that do it right. It's not about us staying up till 11:30 watching late night. It's about are you going. Yeah. Are you Clips and going viral through different social aspects. And I don't think that's something that. It's not something people talk about now how you monetize that Rome. You're, you're the entrepreneur of the show. You know how you monetize viral stuff to advertisers and, and to buy in who pays for these late night shows. But, you know, it'd be interesting. I, I don't know if you caught John Stewart's Yesterday, which, you know, he's on Comedy Central, who's also owned by Paramount Global as well too. So he had some pretty strong words around, around that. Obviously, you know, Kim, he was, him and Colbert were together on the Daily show back in the day. They're obviously good friends and so yellow and interesting stuff. I mean, I don't, I don't watch late night TV like I used to, but I mean, there is plenty of good stuff that, you know his show, Stephen Colbert's done and just his overall rise is crazy because you know where he was in the Daily show doing kind of the Colbert Report that was like this spoof type of thing that like kind of they swept the country changes a little Bit of his style. It goes to 11:30, the 11:30 time slot, the Late show to replace Letterman, who had his own kind of cult following and then. And then really adapting his style because he really didn't lay into like the politics stuff early on when he took over and then kind of leaned into it. And it's, it's not even like getting political. It's just like, it's, it's funny. The sensitivity of some of that stuff now too because like back in the day, like they did what, 10 years of Jay Leno doing Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky jokes and like no one was caring about that. But we make fun of anybody else nowadays. Like, it's just, it's just crazy. I mean, I don't know how many, how much mileage they got out of 90s. You know, politics jokes about the same thing over and over again. [00:16:29] Speaker B: A lot. [00:16:30] Speaker A: Yeah, we become very, very sensitive culture wise. Everybody, if you say one thing, everybody gets all in it uproar now. So. [00:16:39] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, wnba. I guess we'll jump to that. You guys see those T shirts? [00:16:47] Speaker C: I did I A lot of pay. [00:16:50] Speaker B: Us what you owe us. [00:16:52] Speaker C: Yeah. And I think it's fine. They're going into a labor dispute. I think Dave Portnoy, it's. Which is shocking, is not probably one of my, you know, favorites I listen to. But I think he had the most accurate take on what's going on too. He basically said that people said that we. That people that are arguing that you shouldn't be paying them and trying to cling to this thing that the WNBA is a losing product. Well, if it's such a losing product, why are they continuing to have expansion? Why do people wanting to buy into it? Why are the finances so murky within the NBA that you can't really understand what the asset like there is something to this product that people want and it's getting hot and live sports in this medium continue to go there. And so the arguments about early NBA and how profitable it was, but it continued to grow and continue to grow. And now you're kind of reaching a little bit of a golden era right now with Caitlin Clark and some of the stars that they have. And it's starting to get maybe the most popular the league's been Rome. I would, I mean you watch it more than me is like I would say right now it's the most popular the WNBA has ever been in its 25 year history. And so it's on a momentum thing. So I think Portnoy's point was like, they're going to get paid and they should get paid because, like, there is value behind this asset that's going to continue to grow. We're continue to do expansion teams and you know, there's interest. TV networks are going to want this contract. And so I, I, the people saying they shouldn't be paid, like, why do you, why do you care? And we talked about the salaries before. Like they make like what, 70,000 a year or something. [00:18:30] Speaker B: A rookie contract. Yeah, yeah. [00:18:33] Speaker C: I mean, yeah, which, which is crazy. And so, and you're going into labor negotiations and obviously, hey, you're going to make a big stink about things going into, I mean, there's going to be this, you're going to see the Major League Baseball potentially have a lockout here in the next year and a half or so when they get into those collective bargaining agreements. You're talking about Rome's lakers potentially worth $10 billion overall in a value. And what did the Rays just sell for the Tampa bay rays, like 1.7 billion or something like that, or 1.5 billion? [00:19:07] Speaker A: Yeah, I thought it was like 1.2 or something, but yeah, something like that. One point something. [00:19:11] Speaker C: So $1 billion for a team that doesn't have a stadium right now. And so they got a stadium. [00:19:17] Speaker A: It's just not functional right now. [00:19:20] Speaker C: Yeah. So a team is going to need a new stadium as part of the ownership agreement. So when you look at the ownership and like what these teams are worth, what the revenues they're bringing in. And baseball is not even the most healthiest of sports. So what you can buy in a WNBA and get this thing on the ground up because you're, look, you know, business people are probably looking at these as an undervalued asset that's going to have tons of appreciation. Like, I don't know, getting into the NFL is the best buy right now because it's going to be 7 to 8 billion dollars. I don't know if an NFL franchise is going to double its money, but I think a WNBA franchise over the next like decade, 20 years, to get in the ground up, you could be seeing, hey, this is going to, this is going to triple my, my investment. [00:19:59] Speaker A: Well, what is, has a WNBA franchise even been valued yet? Has anybody action? What is, what is it at right now? [00:20:07] Speaker B: So I think the Valkyries already are, are so it, it was. They paid 50 million expansion fee to join the WNBA and I think it increased to like a hundred or like a little bit more. Jason, if you can double check this, I could have sworn I read something like 250, which is like wild. But Valkyries are allegedly already the most expensive or high Highest valued at 500 million. [00:20:31] Speaker C: If you go, there's an article by Forbes that was published about a month or so ago. The Liberty are the most valuable team at $400 million. The Fever at 370. [00:20:46] Speaker A: What's the least one? [00:20:49] Speaker C: The least valuable one is the Atlanta dream at 190. [00:20:57] Speaker A: Okay, yeah, I mean, like I think you were saying, Jason, I mean, right now they're kind of going in their golden age. They've got, you know, TV ratings are up with Caitlin Clark and everything they've got. You know, they are going to get paid regardless of whether or not you think they should get paid, how much they're going to get paid and more. I don't know, are they asking for 10, 25? I don't know. Maybe you guys do know that information. But yeah, I mean, the franchises are only going to go up in value. I mean, if the. Right now you're saying some franchises were 3 to 400 million within. Yeah, within 20 years, you're probably looking at double that. You might get a WNBA franchise worth about a billion. So. Yeah, but I mean, you just had the lakers valued at 10 billion. Touching, touching on football. I mean, the Dallas Cowboys. What are the Dallas cowboys worth? Maybe what, 16 billion? I mean, what can they, what can they get for them? [00:21:50] Speaker C: So, yeah, yeah, the one thing you t. TV is the one, the one thing that really influences all this stuff. Like what does the WNBA get for a TV deal? And I think they just got a new one. But what's the next TV deal going to be? As our viewing habits change, we're talking about streaming and you know, networks and companies. The content you start bidding for have a 24 hour news or 24 hour sports channel. Hey, I have a streaming service that needs sports. Like this is where sports has its ultimate value because it's live and you know, this is what draws people in. You know, we roam. I think you brought up like a couple weeks ago like how much money it would cost to watch every NFL game this year and how many different streaming service you would need to buy. You know, what is, what is like an NBA like fan need to get like the NBA package and like other things. But you know, whether it's ESPN or Fox Sports or if it's one of the majors in these streaming services, like, hey, no, I need, I need things to drive like Apple. Hey, we just bought the MLS TV deal. That's the most unique deal out there for mls. Some argue it hurt MLS because it's not as accessible to get because you have to have Apple TV plus and then buy the. The MLS package. The MLS package on top of that instead of like unless you have T. [00:23:11] Speaker B: Mobile, you get it for free. I just saw on Tuesday deals. [00:23:16] Speaker C: Didn't know that. [00:23:16] Speaker B: MLB tv. Yeah. [00:23:18] Speaker C: Okay, well, it's good. Good to know if you're looking for the second half of the MLS season. Yeah, the San Diego expansion franchise down here, I think they're tighter for first or second in the Western Conference of the mls. [00:23:29] Speaker B: I have no clue, dude. I didn't even know it was in season. [00:23:33] Speaker C: Ah, you know, I mean we're in the midst of the. Yeah, you had a showdown in San Diego recently with, with Vancouver and San Diego, it was a 1:1 tie because it's soccer. So, you know, we can only get. We can only get two goals in, so. [00:23:45] Speaker A: Interesting. Yeah, you can catch that on T Mobile, by the way. [00:23:48] Speaker C: I, I couldn't catch it. I just saw the highlights. The only, the only thing I caught that night, I lost a little bit. I, I think it's one of the great names. We're not a soccer podcast, but the LA Galaxy vs LAFC Rome. Do you know what the rivalry between those two is called? LA Galaxy vs LAFC? Okay, so in Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain they have El Classico between the co. LAFC versus the LA Galaxy. It's El Trafico. And I don't know who thought of that. Genius. [00:24:20] Speaker B: Pretty funny. [00:24:21] Speaker C: But I was out there. But yeah, going back to the wnba, I mean they're gonna live. Sports is gonna be there and I think the value is going to go through and what are these networks willing to pay and that's where it's gonna be at. Like, yeah, okay, they're not Gonna sell out 2530,000 in all these games that they do during the summer. But you know, they're going to more markets. They're gonna. There's gonna be some things need to do during the summer. Like, hey, you know, your, your daughter's off school Rome, you take her to a Valkyries game or you bring it down here to go to a Sparks game. Like it's. There's some things to do, but they don't need to sell out because hey, if they get a good TV contract that funds the league because we need content for Fox Sports too. [00:24:59] Speaker B: Yeah. Some people are like saying how they're arguing that they should be bing. Get paid as much as NBA players. I'M not sure if they are, but at least they do account for 10% of the NBA's revenue. So it's not about profit, it's just about revenue. So I think that's what they're trying to get, you know, at least a little boost in there. Like, Caitlin Clark's definitely worth more than 75K. She's worth, you know, 100 times. [00:25:26] Speaker C: 100. But you could say the same. Like maybe like LeBron for the longest time. Like, how much, how much would LeBron would have been working in the open market. But you're gonna have, you're gonna have the limiters on, on what the salaries are gonna again be overall for the league. And they put that cap in place because, you know, you'd have owners going crazy trying to pay for LeBron or somebody else out there. [00:25:45] Speaker A: That's like Jordan, I mean, Jordan was getting paid what, $5 million a year in his prime. It wasn't till like towards the end of his career that he was getting 25, 30 million dollar contracts. [00:25:55] Speaker B: He's the one that broke the ceiling. He. He was the first 30 million dollar guy. [00:25:58] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, he was, you know, getting 5 million here a year. I mean, I think Scotty Pippen, I remember the Last dance, whatever it was. [00:26:09] Speaker C: It was the worst contract of all time. They told him not to sign it, man. [00:26:14] Speaker B: You know, the fact that they offered it to him and told him not to sign it, but then he signed it. Like they knew how, like he just wanted, like, the security and they were like totally underpaying him. I think that's what he's so pissed off about still. [00:26:25] Speaker C: I guess. [00:26:25] Speaker A: I mean, I mean, considering how good Scottie Pippen really is and was, and considering what guys are getting paid now that aren't even, you know, a quarter of the player he is. Dude, it stings. Every day you wake up. I guarantee you that. [00:26:39] Speaker B: Do like Scotty. [00:26:41] Speaker C: Yeah, it probably, it probably killed our Bulls and then my White Sox, Aaron forever. Because now Jerry Reinsdorf just thinks he's gonna get away with paying one of the 50 greatest players of all time, some bum contract. [00:26:53] Speaker B: 100. [00:26:54] Speaker A: I'm not gonna lie. If I had pulled that scam on somebody and they'd signed it, I'd be offering it every time. [00:27:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:03] Speaker A: Remember when Scotty signed it and how many championships he won? [00:27:07] Speaker B: Once a cheap bastard, always a cheap bastard. [00:27:09] Speaker A: Hey, that's how they get rich, man. [00:27:10] Speaker B: That's how they get rich. That's how they stay rich. That's how they stay rich. God, I got nothing really to talk about besides that. [00:27:18] Speaker A: I got something. [00:27:19] Speaker B: Got something. Did you watch Poirier's last fight, by the way? [00:27:22] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, we can go into that. We'll go in there right now, and then I got something after that. But, yeah, I mean, I did watch UFC over the weekend, Poirier's last retirement fight against Max Holloway, you know, the BMF title on the line. And it was a good fight, entertaining fight. Don't know if you saw some of the highlights, but I didn't. [00:27:44] Speaker B: There was a bar. I got out early that night, and I was gonna go watch the fight, but it's just so many people there. They're. They had all the screens, though. [00:27:52] Speaker A: They cover. They charge you a cover charge or. No, no, that's good. No, they. They show the fight. I haven't ever gone. I don't know if you've seen it, Jason, but they show the fights at Dos Lagos. You seen that? Always advertising UFC fights at those Lagos. You can get in for 20 bucks. [00:28:05] Speaker C: I guess, at the theater. [00:28:07] Speaker A: Yeah, that's kind of. [00:28:09] Speaker C: They've advertised that. They've advertised WWE events there. So I think they. TKO is getting out to the. The theaters. I mean, those Lagos got a lot of going out. They got. They got a 98 degree concert apparently happening at Dos Lagos here upcoming, too. So any of you, if you want to kick it back to the 90s and see Nick Lachey, they got 98 degrees, I think, live. Live in concert here. [00:28:29] Speaker A: Wow. There you go. [00:28:31] Speaker B: It wasn't my kind of boy band, but okay. [00:28:33] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, yeah, you can go. You can go there and reserve a seat for UFC for like 20 bucks. 20, 25 bucks, whatever. How many seats they got there in the theater? I don't know. And watch it. I used to go sometimes to Buffalo Wild Wings. You can go there, watch the fights as well. They used to. They usually have those. I don't know if they. I think they probably still do. I haven't been there in a minute. I usually go during March Madness, but yeah, it was an exciting fight card. I mean, if you were betting underdogs, the underdogs were. They were barking. Big underdogs winning. You had a couple plus 500, 400 underdogs. Every underdog won on the main card, except for Holloway, who closed as a slight favorite over Poirier. So if you were betting the underdogs on that pay per view card for the ufc, you were cashing big in some big, big underdogs, like I mentioned, plus 500 plus 400, a couple plus 200 guys. And then going back to the Poirier fight. First round didn't look good. He got hurt a couple times. Thought maybe the fight could end round two early. He got knocked down, was a bit dizzy towards the end of round two, hurt Holloway pretty bad. Went for a choke and then started some ground and pound the. The bell kind of saved Holloway there with about 15 seconds left. If there had been about another 30 gets to a minute, I think Poirier would have been able to finish him. He had him rocked. He had him hurt. But Max Holloway regained his composure and got the unanimous decision and retained the BMF title. And Dustin Poirier goes off into the sunset. [00:30:11] Speaker B: Nice. [00:30:13] Speaker A: Another interesting thing there, Rome, from that card that was very interesting in the fight before. You know, we've all heard that song back in the day. Goes down in the dms. Apparently one of the fighters is DM and another fighter's wife. That guy called out post fight with. The guy won the fight. He wasn't too happy about it, let's put it that way. Really. He said, hey, I'm coming for you. I'm no more dodging me. We're gonna fight, we're gonna settle it, and we'll see if that fight gets booked here in the next six months or so. But, yeah, he basically called him a coward, a few other things, a hole. The list goes on and on. But he said, hey, don't be DMing my wife. The guy then returned later and said, hey, check the messages. It wasn't me, it was your wife. DM me. So we'll see what happens there. As we got some trauma going on in the UFC behind the scenes. [00:31:10] Speaker B: You know, when there's, like, not a lot of sports going on, there's like a lot of funky shit that's, like, happening. You know, you got Trump spill spilling off about the commanders. Yeah, like that little astronomer CEO drama. That happened as well. I just realized that that happened. That's been blowing up on socials and every baseball team is reenacting it with their mascots, and people are. I feel really bad for the guy. The guy resigned, and I don't think anyone's career should be tanked under a. An affair. But I don't know. Do you guys feel bad for him? [00:31:42] Speaker C: I don't know. [00:31:43] Speaker B: I mean, I don't know. [00:31:46] Speaker A: Hey, you're asking the wrong guy here. Pin him on me before he gets himself in trouble here. [00:31:53] Speaker C: I just think it's hilarious. I think just like, well, that was. [00:31:56] Speaker B: Your job over affair. Come on. That's a little rough. [00:31:59] Speaker C: Yeah. But the visual of, like, I'm having played it cool. But yes, that's. That's everyone's criticism. But, like, the idea I'm having an affair and we're going to go to a Coldplay concert together, and then, like, you're so, like, outwards about it. Like, there was other people around in this suite that obviously know what's happening too. So it's. It's not like they're trying to be stealth at all. And so, like, that's why. I don't know how bad I feel bad for him about it. [00:32:26] Speaker B: That's true. [00:32:27] Speaker A: It's one thing to be having an affair. It's another thing to kind of have an open relationship. [00:32:32] Speaker B: Yeah. I thought, like, kind of like, let's sneak to a hotel somewhere. [00:32:35] Speaker A: I mean, it was a little too out in the open, where everybody I think, is kind of like, yeah, this just is. It's not a good look. So, I mean, stupidity is kind of more. So I would lean as far as losing your job. That's kind of a tough call. But, yeah. [00:32:49] Speaker B: Stupid idiots, for sure. Yeah. That was hilarious, though. Like, everybody. It's been like the meme of the summer. [00:32:56] Speaker C: Absolutely was. I mean, it was. It was everywhere. It was my entire Twitter timeline. [00:33:00] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Pretty hilarious. This is like the most random pot we've ever done, dude. [00:33:08] Speaker A: And then the other thing Rome, like, speaking, you know, rumors and stuff spreading. You know, there was a rumor of Nick Saban. Nick Saban rumored to be maybe interested in getting back into coaching again. That was. [00:33:20] Speaker B: I heard about. I heard about that. [00:33:23] Speaker A: Picking up steam on a lot of different networks, but the NFL, though. They say the NFL, but we don't know. We don't know. [00:33:28] Speaker B: Also at lsu returning home. [00:33:33] Speaker C: Is that home, though? [00:33:35] Speaker A: I. I started at Tulane, Michigan or Michigan State. [00:33:40] Speaker B: Michigan State. Yeah. There was something before that. I don't remember. [00:33:44] Speaker A: I want to say it was too lame, but I could be wrong. [00:33:47] Speaker C: I can't, like, just imagine, like, I. [00:33:51] Speaker B: Thought he hated the nil stuff. [00:33:53] Speaker C: That's what I thought. Like, it's only getting, like, it's only. And worse. And what he's gonna be able to control. [00:33:57] Speaker A: Well, you do. You do have that settlement now of the house that kind of creates somewhat of a salary cap. [00:34:04] Speaker B: It's a salary cap. Yeah. [00:34:06] Speaker A: It's not a hard cap, but it's kind of a. A foundation bridge to kind of get things started and rolling. [00:34:12] Speaker B: But, yeah, foundation bridge. Yeah, I heard that. [00:34:15] Speaker C: To me, I. I'D imagine just the pros, like, if, I mean, obviously Saban's a little bit unpredictable, but, like, he's done everything he can in college. Like, he's pretty much the goat. Like, no one's going to touch him on what he's. For college, the pros, like, you can say he was a failure, but, like, at the end of the day, like, they weren't, they weren't terrible. [00:34:33] Speaker B: I thought he did pretty good. [00:34:34] Speaker A: Was he 500 in his two years? [00:34:36] Speaker C: I think, I think he was like 500 or maybe a little bit below. And really, it was all like, hey, the doctor told him Drew Brees shoulder is shot. [00:34:44] Speaker B: Yeah, there was like, a few things also, like, with, like, the running back, there was, like, some injuries. It was like, a lot of tough breaks over there. [00:34:50] Speaker C: So I, I, I think, I think there's a way that Saban could do the NFL if he wanted to. Like, but, but where, but where? [00:34:58] Speaker A: What team? I mean, obviously he's going to have to go to a quarterback. I don't, I don't think I'm see him starting over. I mean, there were some teams mentioned. I, I like both the teams that were mentioned. Possibilities. Buffalo if McDermott kind of fails again. Yeah, mine, mine, mine. In Rome, especially Rome's top hot seat coach, Zach Taylor with the Bengals. [00:35:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:35:20] Speaker C: The only reason I would say that is, like, just the resources that, yeah, Paul Brown just does not provide. Like, Saban's gonna want. Like, I think that was the lure to, like, the Dolphins when they were going at him, because it was like. [00:35:31] Speaker A: Stephen Ross will pay. [00:35:32] Speaker C: Steve Ross was like, hey, what do you want? Like, we'll give it to you. And like, and it's not resources. Like, when people think, like, it was funny that you bring up the Bengals because I think there was, there was some interview I saw with, with Paul Brown talking about this where it's like, people call him for being cheap, and it's like, oh, we, we pay these. Yeah, but it's not, it's not even about, with NFL teams about being cheap with player salaries. I mean, that could be part of it, but it's small. But there's salary floors and salary ceilings. And the NFL makes so much money. Like, you have to spend the money. The thing is, like, where do you put the outside money into, like, scouting, player development, like, like nutrition, like, medical staff, like, all these, like, things on. [00:36:11] Speaker A: The outside that, like, these teams now get graded and that's become public. Right. I believe they get graded on an A to F. And then, you know, Facilities, nutrition, doctors, all that stuff is now out in the open. [00:36:23] Speaker C: So I just, I just imagine like Saban's going in, like, hey, I get unlimited resources or I'm gonna need X, Y and Z. That's there. And it's, it's gonna be a level of control that he's gonna want. And if he's gonna come in and he's not the gm, which he probably wouldn't be because it's a little too much for one job now. But like, hey, I'm bringing the guy I want for picking player personality, so who's going to give him that type of control? It's gonna, like Aaron said, it's going to be a very limited things of like, hey, I have the quarterback I believe in and I get an element of total control. [00:36:53] Speaker A: But what, what NFL team or ownership group would do that? I mean, honestly, actually, I mean, dude. [00:36:59] Speaker B: They'Re building a nice stadium right now. [00:37:00] Speaker A: Yeah, they got the stadium. [00:37:02] Speaker B: They got Josh Allen. The guy's a stud. [00:37:05] Speaker A: So you have that. I mean, there's not a lot of teams, NFL wise, that you can come in, like a college program. And Sabin, LSU has a ton of money. I mean, I saw something about Alabama's not even in the top 10 in nil spending right now. Maybe that's. People are mentioning that's one of the reasons why Saban got out, because he saw this coming and didn't want to fall behind the curve and start losing at Alabama. Kind of save grace. [00:37:28] Speaker B: Yeah, why not? [00:37:29] Speaker A: So, yeah, I mean, if I'm losing. [00:37:32] Speaker B: At a football game on college football, on the Xbox, I'm turning it off before it finishes. [00:37:38] Speaker A: This is what you do. You just press pause and go change it to the easier setting and get back in the game. And then you just, you know, there you go. [00:37:44] Speaker B: You could do that. [00:37:46] Speaker A: You used to be back in the day. I don't know about now. [00:37:48] Speaker B: You can't do that now. [00:37:49] Speaker C: Yeah, I can't. Yeah. [00:37:50] Speaker B: You can't be cheater. Aaron's big cheater. Dude, look at this. Look at this guy. [00:37:54] Speaker A: That's like back in the early 2000s, man, when I won like 30 national championships with like UNLV and stuff. But you got to build the program up somehow. [00:38:03] Speaker B: God damn. [00:38:05] Speaker C: Yeah. I think it's limited options. I bet I. I just, I just can't see it happening. I feel like he stepped away. I think he makes probably a killing doing his GEICO commercials. [00:38:15] Speaker B: I think he's funny on college game day. [00:38:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:18] Speaker B: Him and Pat McPhee. It's a great combo. I think it's like a new era for college. Game day two. I think it's gonna be pretty fun to watch. [00:38:24] Speaker C: Yeah, no, I, I absolutely agree with you. I like, too. [00:38:27] Speaker B: Like, I like this cool Saban. [00:38:29] Speaker A: Yeah. But I think, like, I think he likes it. But I think, like, Belichick, he still has that burning desire to compete and coach at the highest level. I mean, Billichek had it sweet. He had a great deal. Everything looked good, and then now he's at North Carolina. [00:38:44] Speaker B: He still has a sweet dude. His girlfriend's 24 years old. She's smoking hot. He's getting paid lots of money to go coach to college to find other interns for the next one, you know? [00:38:54] Speaker A: Yeah, he's got to be careful with those interns, man. I mean, lawsuits there in college can get you in trouble pretty quick. But, I mean, yeah, now you got to go coaching. You got nil, like you said, going back to college. Belichick's never been there. What is Belichick, 73, 74 now? [00:39:12] Speaker C: What, what do you. Aaron, I didn't see that. What were the teams on the list, you know, for Saban, you just mentioned. He said. [00:39:21] Speaker A: No, I mean, I, I, I, I'd heard, I'd heard Buffalo. What was the other one you just said? [00:39:26] Speaker B: Bengals. [00:39:28] Speaker A: I, I thought the Bengals would be, I mean, some team of a quarterback. I mean, somebody brought up the point, too, that Andy Reid's kind of getting old. Would he step away and then that would open up the door for him. [00:39:37] Speaker C: To get an older guy? [00:39:39] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. No. Well, I mean, anyway, he's going to stick around for another four or five years, possibly. [00:39:44] Speaker A: If they keep winning. Yes. If not, I think he walks away. [00:39:48] Speaker C: This is, this is very unlikely. I think McDaniel might be on the hot seat for the Dolphins. [00:39:54] Speaker A: He's out. He's done for sure. [00:39:56] Speaker B: I called out last year, guys, and. [00:39:58] Speaker C: You guys, would he go when he go back to Miami? He's got tua. It was his guy. [00:40:04] Speaker A: I don't think he wants to. [00:40:06] Speaker B: Yeah, you don't want that protocol. [00:40:08] Speaker A: He's got a, he's got one hip and a half a brain left. He don't want nothing to do with that. [00:40:13] Speaker C: I don't know. He's kidding. It's his guy. [00:40:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Who? I mean, listen, I mean, who else we got for teams right now or teams that coaches could. [00:40:23] Speaker C: No, Patriots? Jets just got a new coach. [00:40:26] Speaker A: I mean, Cowboys. Cowboys was mentioned. [00:40:29] Speaker C: Cowboys are always mentioned. But, like, yeah, yeah, Jerry Jones is calling, calling out his Quarterback and his. And his best defensive player over the weekend. [00:40:37] Speaker B: Like how many back press conferences this guy can. [00:40:40] Speaker A: I think people mentioned the Browns, obviously he was a defensive coordinator there back in the day. [00:40:47] Speaker C: I guess they have a lot of quarterbacks. [00:40:49] Speaker A: He's on his way out. Yeah. I mean, if you like Shador, whoever, maybe here's another team, historic team. I'm going to throw it out there. What if Tomlin steps aside, Pittsburgh opens up. [00:41:02] Speaker C: I thought about that too, but I'm like, he's got no quarterback. [00:41:05] Speaker A: Yeah. Got the greatest defense in the NFL with most spending, and he's been a defensive guy. [00:41:10] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't know. [00:41:11] Speaker C: Cleveland's. [00:41:12] Speaker B: Cleveland's. [00:41:12] Speaker C: Interesting. I. I don't know if I don't know his relationship with Dion, but they do the guy the. The Aflac commercials together. [00:41:20] Speaker A: The Giants. Yeah, Giants. The Giants will open up probably. They both get quarterback. [00:41:25] Speaker C: No, they have a rookie quarterback, right? [00:41:27] Speaker A: Yeah. They got dart. Yeah. [00:41:29] Speaker C: Yeah, it was dart. Did he throw the ball to his friend in a jet ski? Was that him? [00:41:35] Speaker B: No clue. [00:41:36] Speaker C: Ah, I have to find it. [00:41:38] Speaker B: No clue. [00:41:38] Speaker C: Yeah, there was somebody like one of these draft guys. I can't remember. I think it was dart. They're like, throws like a bomb to his front of the jet ski. Hits him dead in the hands like for who knows how often. The kid dropped it. [00:41:49] Speaker A: Yeah, I did see. I think it was Yesterday I saw Mr. Mayo, man. Will Levis out for the season. [00:41:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:56] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:41:58] Speaker B: It's from that. [00:41:59] Speaker A: Ward's gonna get the start now. [00:42:01] Speaker B: It's from that same game. I remember watching it when he died for that first down. I'm like, oh, that was a tough fall. It's that same shoulder. That's crazy. Tough loss. That's it, man. We should just hop off and hop back on next one next week. [00:42:16] Speaker C: Wow. We got Formula one coming up. Rome. You talked about it? [00:42:20] Speaker B: Yeah. You want to talk about it? [00:42:21] Speaker C: Well, they're in Belgium this year. We got. We got two races before the summer break. So even though we had a mini three week break between the British Grand Prix and the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa francerchamps, I. Rome. I said historic. Track. Track. You said every. Every track in F1 is. Is historic. [00:42:44] Speaker B: Yeah, but spies. [00:42:45] Speaker A: They kind of all sound historic. I'm not gonna lie. [00:42:48] Speaker C: Wow. You know, just this one does the. The E rouge, which is like, it's. I'm probably pronouncing it wrong. I mean, you're probably mail on that. But like the track itself, when you go through this is one of like the. The I think visually some of the best like photographs you'll see in the years of Formula one and different, different things. Like you come out of like turn one and make this like straightaway that turns into an uphill to the left and to the right where you go down a big stretch. It's a DRS zone. It's one of the more dangerous tracks in history. There's been recent deaths in the lower formulas for this track. Just some of the, some of the, just the great racing, high speed track in different, in different areas or the faster circuits. We'll see. Man, we're getting to the half. It's the duel of the McLarens. A lot of drama with F1 too. I mean we could be talking about that for days. Been a little quiet lately. Nothing about Verstappen the past couple weeks on him going to Mercedes, but I did see a, I think last time. [00:43:55] Speaker A: Jason and Iran it got lost. It got lost in the shuffle. I think Rome's still trying to edit it. But you mentioned that Verstappen was meeting with Mercedes in Italy or something. [00:44:05] Speaker C: He was him in total roll for room to meeting off island in Italy to discuss, to discuss a contract. Allegedly. And still Toto, it's the one that got away that Toto wants and he wants to bring Max in. And is Mercedes gonna pony up the money? What are the escape clauses and Verstappen's contract with Red Bull? I saw a, I saw a tweet from an insider F1 account today talking about like there's not a lot of confidence in Red Bull's powertrain next year that they're making in conjunction with Ford. So how weak is the, is the power engine going to be in the Red Bull and the new 2026 reg regulations. So is that, you know, leading to stapping for being out? They fire Christian Horner. You know, there's all sorts of new leadership. I mean there's just a lot going on there. And then you got poor George Russell who's having the best year of his career right now, sitting top four in points. [00:45:05] Speaker A: Yeah, he's number four. [00:45:06] Speaker C: Is he four? I can't remember if he passed. [00:45:09] Speaker A: I think he's 18 points behind Verstappen last I heard. [00:45:11] Speaker C: Okay, so I mean, but George's having his career year being the number one driver in Mercedes and you know the potential and the rumor is they offered Georgia one and one and he refused. So basically, you know, one year deal with an option and that was probably. [00:45:27] Speaker A: He didn't want the LeBron deal. Give him the long term deal man. [00:45:30] Speaker C: He wants the longer deal. [00:45:32] Speaker A: Yeah, I think Russell, I think Russell doesn't mind playing, you know, devil's advocate being the hey, you don't want me, cool. I'll go somewhere else. I'll race for another team where I'm wanted and appreciated. And we've you've talked about it. Jason, he could swap places and go to Red Bull. He could join a new team. So we'll see. I think George Russell does not mind that he's contracts up or not. I think he's just having a good time. [00:45:59] Speaker C: I saw I, I, I floated this in a pod. I can't remember if this was one of the great my was the last pod that, that disappeared from my Formula one segment or for was a previous one. But I, I floated to you that if totals Toto's gonna be a madman and he's gonna try to sign Russell and Verstappen and then temporarily loan out Kimi Antonelli to a team like Alpine who basically can't find their second driver because Franco Cala Pinto has been pretty much a disaster since the beginning after they replaced Jack doing with him is. [00:46:36] Speaker A: Doing coming back or no. [00:46:39] Speaker C: Rumor is Valtteri Botas who's his Mercedes Versure driver that they want to bring over and do the remainder of the year. So there's there I saw that in some other websites getting floated around about like hey we'll give Kimi a chance because Alpine switching to the Mercedes engines next year and they're moving away from making their own and so did they become a Mercedes partner where you give Kimi a temporary, you know, slot where he can continue to develop and you know his, you know when he's 19, 20, 21 until he gets some more F1 experience under his belt. And then you run a mad insane drama combination of having Verstappen and Russell on the same team in Mercedes. Like I mean you think, you think Lando and, and, and Piastri got some problems week to week right now. Like you got, you got these two guys that can't stay in the sight of each other and in the same garage. [00:47:30] Speaker A: Haven't watched the movie yet but this sounds a lot like team Apex there from the F1 movie. Maybe a little bit of that I haven't watched a little bit. It sounds like that's where you're leaning here towards Jason a little bit. [00:47:41] Speaker C: Just it's not 60 year old driver coming out of retirement to, to race with it. But yeah, I think there'd be some Dr. I mean, we, we talked about the way Norris and Piastri are, but you think back to, you know, for the F1 historians with, with Senna and Prost and those guys fighting for a championship and two very unique styles and, and how. What kind of drama there was between them. This I think would take it to like another level given the on track heat between these guys. But it'd be interesting. I don't, I don't know if there's enough in it for Toto to give up on his guy Kimi, who's been the prodigy. I mean, he basically got his own Netflix movie based on him getting the Mercedes ride this last year. So you'd be cutting bait pretty early F1 done. But I don't know. We got drama. But I'm looking forward to the Belgium Grand Prix room. I hope you wake up for it. [00:48:31] Speaker A: What time is that one? Let me look here. That's six. Bright and early 6:00am Sunday. Sunday, yeah, Sunday. [00:48:39] Speaker B: Why not? Yeah, yeah. [00:48:40] Speaker A: We've got, we've got four. We've got four straight 6am before a 4am gets mixed in there. So I don't know if I'll be. [00:48:47] Speaker C: Up for that Singapore race. [00:48:49] Speaker A: No, Singapore is at 5. [00:48:51] Speaker C: Okay. [00:48:52] Speaker B: I haven't had one of those late. [00:48:54] Speaker A: Night guitar airways1:04am so Rome said we're. [00:48:58] Speaker C: Not waking up early, we're just staying out late Saturday night into the start of the race. [00:49:02] Speaker B: I haven't had one of those in a while. It's been, man. [00:49:05] Speaker C: Well, I'll be honest with you. [00:49:07] Speaker A: Did you just have one like 3 weeks ago Rome, where you're on a train for like an hour or something. [00:49:11] Speaker B: Train shuts down at 2. I got, I got on the wrong train, end up in the wrong city. [00:49:16] Speaker C: He, he was almost in Oregon at that point. [00:49:18] Speaker B: It's like I was so pissed. I was so pissed. I'm like, how drunk am I? [00:49:22] Speaker A: He woke up in a different time zone. He didn't know where he was at. [00:49:25] Speaker B: And the police lady's yelling me. I'm like, hold on. Jesus. I'm just trying to look my phone, trying to get it right home. She was big. [00:49:32] Speaker C: You got a big sprint weekend, Rom. You got the sprint on Saturday and you got the race on Sunday. So, you know, plenty of, plenty of great racing coming up. And we had some great IndyCar and NASCAR this last weekend too. [00:49:44] Speaker B: I gotta be honest with you. I tried watching some NASCAR this past weekend and I already told you would. [00:49:50] Speaker A: Handle it for you. [00:49:51] Speaker B: I'm like, you know what? But Tropic Thunder is on. So I got to see that. Not Tropic Thunder, Thunder Runner or Thunder Thunder Mountain, the Tom Cruise racing movie. [00:50:03] Speaker C: Days of Thunder. [00:50:05] Speaker B: There you go. [00:50:05] Speaker A: Rome, I don't know what you're watching in your spare time, but keep those titles to yourself, buddy. [00:50:10] Speaker C: I was like, he's watching the thunder from down Under. Was this like a personal recording you. [00:50:14] Speaker A: Did when you went to Bay Vegas? [00:50:15] Speaker C: Or was it. [00:50:16] Speaker A: Hey, I, I, I, I. Hey, I don't know what you know. Hey, Rome does sneak off from time to time in Vegas. So you know, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Wrong. Your stories are safe with me, pal. But you know, keep, keep those titles to yourself. [00:50:28] Speaker C: You better be careful when you guys take these like two man trips out to, to Vegas, Aaron. But Days of Thunder, Rome, we're hanging. [00:50:35] Speaker A: Out there at the D bar, Canada. So that's where I'll be. [00:50:39] Speaker B: God damn. Yeah, just I just asked in the allegations here. We'll be hanging out Bar D guys, all night. Big D. Big D in the house. [00:50:51] Speaker C: Days of Thunder with Tom Cruise's Cole Trickle. [00:50:54] Speaker B: Not that good. [00:50:56] Speaker C: Wow. [00:50:57] Speaker B: Not that good. [00:50:57] Speaker A: Whoa. [00:50:58] Speaker B: Not that good. [00:50:59] Speaker A: Oh, that's a good one, man. Whoa. [00:51:02] Speaker B: You know, I'm sick of like all these Tom Cruise movies by the way, are all the same. [00:51:06] Speaker A: We got like, he's like, we saw your. He's like doing well a couple weeks ago. [00:51:10] Speaker B: You know, he's hot shot top Gun. Looks like Mission Impossible gets into like a little stumble, loses confidence in himself. [00:51:20] Speaker A: That's like every man in real life. [00:51:23] Speaker B: Young, 25 year old doctor. Go figure. Nicole Kidman, right? Was that Nicole Kidman? [00:51:29] Speaker C: Nicole Kid Kidman, yeah. [00:51:31] Speaker B: With the accent. [00:51:32] Speaker C: Brain surgeon. [00:51:33] Speaker B: By the way, I, I've always liked Nicole Kidman. Like God damn it. She's underrated. [00:51:37] Speaker A: She's underrated. [00:51:38] Speaker B: Yeah. Gorgeous redheads. I don't know. But then one of the great, one. [00:51:44] Speaker C: Of the great accents for a doctor in Daytona. Let me out of, Let me out of the car. [00:51:50] Speaker B: Wait, is that how she talked? [00:51:52] Speaker C: Oh my God. You watch back there's just. There's some insane accent stuff going when she's like when she do a Boston accent. [00:52:00] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:52:01] Speaker C: I don't even know it was a boss. It was like an Australian Boston accent or something. I don't know what the accent was. [00:52:05] Speaker B: She from the U.K. she's from Australia. Is she? [00:52:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:52:10] Speaker B: Okay, that's weird. Just saying. [00:52:13] Speaker C: Still great. [00:52:14] Speaker B: I'm about to rewatch it. [00:52:15] Speaker A: It's a good one, man. [00:52:16] Speaker B: You got to watch was commercial on tv. I'm at the Watch without commercials. I was getting frustrated. [00:52:21] Speaker A: Who watches. Who watches stuff of commercials? [00:52:24] Speaker B: It was on, like, AMC or something like that. [00:52:26] Speaker C: Yeah, it was on amc. I've seen it recently, too. You know, you gotta. You know, you gotta appreciate the moment when Robert Duvall's characters in the garage talking to the car. You know, the. The early scene when he's building the car and just describing what he's needed to make the car. And then the later scene and right before Daytona when he's in Rowdy's car and he's giving a talk. You got to take care of Cole. [00:52:50] Speaker B: You know, Robert Duvall is a great actor. How many car movies has he's done? Because Eric smiles. Watch him in that. [00:52:55] Speaker A: I just gone 60 seconds. Right? [00:52:58] Speaker B: The whole time. [00:53:01] Speaker A: I do agree. What the hell? It's the same part three, man, 30 years apart. [00:53:05] Speaker B: Same part. [00:53:06] Speaker C: Listen, down in. Over in Aaron's bachelor pad, we just need to start writing in, like, in, like, Invisible Anger or whatever. Just cars that, you know the crew is gonna steal. Just so you can only see under the black light. [00:53:18] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:53:18] Speaker C: Oh, what a great movie. [00:53:20] Speaker B: And that. And that black guy that plays the movie, like, I don't. He hasn't done enough movies. I thought he was really good in that. And gone 60 seconds. [00:53:27] Speaker C: He does a lot of t. He does a lot of TV shows. [00:53:29] Speaker B: Is he. [00:53:30] Speaker C: I thought, yeah, he looks like LeBron, just older LeBron. This is what. This is what LeBron looks like. [00:53:37] Speaker A: You know who LeBron looks like? Go back. Or I was watching, because I was. I. I don't know. I just got, like, on. Was watching the old Lethal Weapons. Yeah, but go look back at, like, dad. Go look back at Danny glover. And that's LeBron, dude. I swear. I swear. If you go look at, like, if. Go check it out. Like, when he's just chilling there, like, on. In the bathtub, just chilling. They like, show him, like, oh, yeah. It's like, so LeBron, dude, I gotta get right. [00:54:06] Speaker C: Yeah. I gotta find. The thing, though, is, like, Danny glover is, like, 41 years old. And Lethal Weapon 1. When he says, I'm too old for this. [00:54:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:54:16] Speaker C: And he looks 60. And he's like. [00:54:19] Speaker A: I think he's. I think he's 50. He just turned 50 because I just watched it. So in the first one, he turned 50 in the. In the movie. [00:54:26] Speaker B: That's crazy. [00:54:27] Speaker A: And now they're talking about possibly making, like, a number five, but that would put him at 90 years old. [00:54:32] Speaker B: Now he lives up here in San Francisco. You can catch Him. He drives like a. Like his green. I saw him one time at a gas station. Drives like a green Toyota. Nice guy. No one bothers him. [00:54:42] Speaker A: I like Danny Glover. [00:54:43] Speaker C: Talking about from Ghana, 67, I couldn't think of. The name is Delroy Lindo. [00:54:47] Speaker A: I like that guy. He did a lot Surprise back in the 90s. [00:54:50] Speaker B: I'm surprised he didn't do more though. Like, I thought he was a pretty good actor in that. [00:54:53] Speaker C: He's got such a good one. There was. [00:54:54] Speaker A: You can catch him in the new movie Sinners. [00:54:56] Speaker C: He's in Sinners. There was a good show. Short live, obviously you, me, Shaki was in a. He was a show called on the Chicago Code. He was an alderman that was kind of like a villain. It was. He was kind of good in that brief front. Only like 13 episodes, but he was good at that. Yeah. [00:55:11] Speaker B: He has a good voice. [00:55:13] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:55:14] Speaker B: Played a good part. [00:55:14] Speaker C: Yeah. But you go back to Days of Thunder R. You got to give it a chance. And yes, there's a formula to it because, you know, right now, okay, I got on Jerry. Jerry Bruckheimer in the promotion of the Formula One movie, said Days of Thunder 2 is in development because, you know, Tom Cruz. So Tom Cruise couldn't live to watch Brad Pitt driving around that Formula one car and said, nope, I need to get into a. A stock car and I'm gonna start, you know, get me with Hendrick Motorsports now. I'm gonna be taking laps around Daytona. [00:55:47] Speaker B: I should go racing. [00:55:49] Speaker C: You know for a fact. [00:55:50] Speaker A: Speaking of Delroy Lindo, he was in the movie Congo. Remember Movie Congo back in the day. [00:55:54] Speaker B: I haven't seen it in a while. [00:55:55] Speaker A: I haven't seen him in a while. But he's in that movie. I don't remember him in it, but he's in that. [00:55:58] Speaker B: No. [00:55:59] Speaker A: Kind of looking over the movies. He was in Get Shorty. He was in Get Shorty. [00:56:03] Speaker B: I don't remember that either. [00:56:06] Speaker C: Oh, Broken Arrow. [00:56:10] Speaker A: So he says good movies back in the 90s. Yeah. Ransom. [00:56:12] Speaker B: I need to catch him on whatever movies you guys are watching. [00:56:15] Speaker C: There's so many good movies, Rome. But you're dismissing Days of Thunder and I don't know if I could forgive you today. [00:56:23] Speaker B: Speaking. Speaking of LeBron, really quickly, you guys hear that story about him wanting to join the Dallas Mavericks. [00:56:29] Speaker C: Why he misses Anthony Davis that much. [00:56:32] Speaker B: He was really contemplating it. [00:56:33] Speaker A: I think. I think he does join him, but not this year. [00:56:36] Speaker B: He did not want to sign for a mid level exception. Instead he really wanted that full 56 mil. Whatever he's getting from the Lakers and now he's bitching about it. You know, I think he's. [00:56:49] Speaker A: I think he's going to get that money, and then I think next year he's going to join up with Dallas because he'd have. [00:56:52] Speaker C: They'd have Kyrie back. [00:56:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:56:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:56:56] Speaker B: It's gonna be too old, too late. All these teams are just getting too old, too late, too late, too old. [00:57:02] Speaker C: I mean, the, the. The Clippers getting the band back together. [00:57:05] Speaker B: Oh, Jesus, dude, Twitter, we called that on the pod. [00:57:09] Speaker C: I pretty sure we called it. [00:57:11] Speaker B: Yeah, we were choking around and then they signed more old fucks. It was great. [00:57:14] Speaker A: Now, now I got. Since I went to that Clippers game, I got him like emailing me like, hey, man, they got Bradley, Bill and Chris Paul. I was gonna just email the guy and be like, yeah, that made me a Lakers fan. Don't bother me anymore with that crap. But it's like, dude, all these old guys, man. [00:57:29] Speaker B: Yeah, probably. Bill's like, I. I do like the Marcus Smart signing with the Lakers, though, but he's a shell of himself. I don't know. He's been injured. Hopefully he. He's healthy. We'll see how that goes. [00:57:39] Speaker A: They still got Gabe Vincent or is he gone? Because it kind of remind me of the same player. Smart's a little bit bigger, better defensively, but they're kind of the same. [00:57:48] Speaker B: We'll see how healthy is. [00:57:50] Speaker A: He's only played what, 50 games the last two years? [00:57:52] Speaker B: I think I read combined. [00:57:54] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. He sees the best player of the. [00:57:57] Speaker B: Year ever since he won that defensive player of the year. [00:57:59] Speaker A: Well, it takes your toll out, man. Look at. He got beat with the. The Blazers. Now you play defense in this league, you. You don't last long. That's why guys don't play defense anymore. You can extend your career by not playing defense. [00:58:12] Speaker B: You really can. [00:58:13] Speaker C: Hey, look at LeBron tap half the time. [00:58:16] Speaker B: Look at LeBron. [00:58:19] Speaker A: By the way, good defensive player. [00:58:21] Speaker B: He's okay. I don't like that bleacher report top 100 NBA players list disagree. With so many listings there, I didn't. [00:58:29] Speaker C: Know there was one as it was. [00:58:31] Speaker B: Chopped it up. When we get to the new NBA season. [00:58:33] Speaker A: This is about the. I. Last time we were in Vegas, I think, is when you dropped your NBA top 25. [00:58:38] Speaker B: Top 20. Yeah. [00:58:40] Speaker A: So that's coming up here in, in a month, really. [00:58:43] Speaker B: We'll do a collective one and we'll put up. Put on the channels on the socials. [00:58:47] Speaker A: Who was. What was a quick breakdown, I guess. Of the top five or 10 in the NBA, because I did not see the new list. [00:58:55] Speaker B: I think it was Michael, then LeBron. [00:58:58] Speaker A: Then, like, all time. [00:58:59] Speaker B: All time, dude. Okay. [00:59:00] Speaker A: All the time. Not current players. All time. Okay. [00:59:02] Speaker B: And they had Kobe at 12. It was just. [00:59:05] Speaker A: Well, there's always a debate. Who would you rather have? Who's better, LeBron or Kobe? It's. It's a. To me, it's a debatable one, but. [00:59:13] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a tough one. I think we're good. We'll just jump on next week. [00:59:22] Speaker C: Yeah, we don't have any more random. We don't have any more random topics we want to get into. I mean, we're. [00:59:26] Speaker B: We still pumped out an hour. I think we should just go out, I guess. [00:59:30] Speaker C: I didn't even talk about. I saw the new Superman Roam. You know, we can. We can talk. [00:59:34] Speaker B: How was it? [00:59:36] Speaker C: I really enjoyed it. [00:59:37] Speaker B: You did? [00:59:39] Speaker C: I really enjoyed it. I give it. I give it a 7.5. [00:59:43] Speaker B: 7.5. [00:59:45] Speaker A: I'm curious, since we've got Jason here, is there any movie recently that you do not like or give a negative rating to? Because you're always giving positive ratings to a lot of movies in Rome, and Rome's given the negatives. I don't agree with a lot of the negatives Rome's given, but I haven't seen the movies. You've rated Jason, but is there any movie out there you would not recommend to the audience, you know, you've seen in the last six months to a year? [01:00:11] Speaker C: It's a very interesting question. [01:00:14] Speaker B: Mellow Yellow. I don't think I made it to the end of the movie, to be honest with you. I don't think I passed out. [01:00:19] Speaker C: See, he's talking about that. Aaron. It's a great question. I don't have one on top of the head. I will say I did not go see the new Jurassic park movie because I was pretty much sure I wouldn't like it because. [01:00:33] Speaker A: One in the trilogy they last had. I didn't watch that one. I heard it sucked. I didn't watch it. [01:00:37] Speaker C: It sucked. And that's why I did not go see the new one. [01:00:39] Speaker B: It's just got Chastain in it. [01:00:42] Speaker C: She's not. Scarlett Johansson's in the new one. And it's not. [01:00:44] Speaker B: She's actually. She's actually a good actress. [01:00:47] Speaker C: It's Bryce Dallas Howard. It's not just. [01:00:50] Speaker B: I. I still like her. [01:00:51] Speaker C: Yeah. Scarlett Johansson's in the new one. The reviews weren't great. It didn't look good. I didn't understand what the story was going to be given the events of the. The end of the second trilogy. And so I was not. I'm not invested in the Jurassic World. [01:01:04] Speaker A: Yeah. What island are they on? The one from the second trilogy or the first trilogy or first. From what I. [01:01:09] Speaker C: From what I gather, it's a completely. Another island that they were doing other dinosaur stuff with that we hadn't talked about the preview. [01:01:16] Speaker A: They were going back to an original island where it all started, but now it's something different. [01:01:21] Speaker C: The original island that it all started blew up in the Fallen Kingdom one, which is the second one. [01:01:26] Speaker A: Yeah. When everybody started flying off and swimming off. That's right. Okay. [01:01:30] Speaker C: So that, that was, that was there and now the one from the Lost World, I think is still out there, but I'm told it's not this island. [01:01:36] Speaker A: Okay. [01:01:37] Speaker C: But yeah, did. I didn't see it, but I'd say that's the one. I thought Superman was good. I'm gonna go see Fantastic Four coming out this weekend as well too. I'm looking forward to that. Marvel getting back in the swing of things with some good stuff here. So I only go and see movies that I'm gonna enjoy. Aaron. It's about, it's about the theater experience. Seeing it, seeing it in the big. [01:01:56] Speaker A: I get that. I get, I get that. Going to the theater, seeing something. But what about just at home, Home entertainment? Anything. Not anything a little bit boring or anything that's like an actor, say like an actor actress you like. But the reviews of a movie weren't good, but you thought it was better or worse than people did. You know, there's always like those movies like you're like an actor but that they get a bad rating in a movie. And then you watch and you're like, oh, it's better than I thought it was going to be based off, you know, what people were saying. [01:02:24] Speaker C: I will say it's not a recent critique, but I, I do love, I do love a lot of Martin Scorsese movies. He's one of the great directors of all time. I did not particularly like Killers of the Flower Moon, his last outing. And I really did not like the Irishman, which came out prior, which. [01:02:58] Speaker A: Isn'T like three and a half hour movie. [01:03:00] Speaker C: Yes. And honestly it's the complaint about it as I think as Scorsese's got more creative control over this stuff. He doesn't have an editor and we just shoot for days and everything's in the movie. [01:03:12] Speaker B: So Irishman. I couldn't get past like all the makeup and stuff like that and these old guys acting like they're 40 years younger. It just, it couldn't do it for me. I think we, we, you know, you eventually lose it at a certain point. I think we talked about this before. We like owners. It's like right when he hits 75, Scorsese, everybody. [01:03:31] Speaker A: Everybody hits the wall, man. Everybody hits the wall. [01:03:33] Speaker B: I'm not watching any more movies. You know, he should have won the Oscar for Good Fellas and a few others, but Irishman was bad. I, I couldn't get past an hour. [01:03:45] Speaker A: Yeah, I didn't watch the Irishman. I heard a lot of. I heard a lot of negative stuff about it. And I haven't seen the, you know, Flowers of the Moon movie, so. [01:03:53] Speaker C: Yeah, I mean, and the thing is, hey, I'm not saying neither of these movies are bad. I'm not saying these are bad either. Bad movies. I think there's a, there's a level of this level of greatness and storytelling and what these movies do for me to rome say it's three hours and 29 minutes. The Irishman, there's a lot of that story that didn't need to be told and how you make this a concise, like, you know, movie. And is it going to be like the cinema quality and the storytelling being there and still. And still get your point across without sitting through, like, what could have been a miniseries? And so, and it's less about the complaints about a lot of those. They put them on streaming is, oh, you'll binge a TV show. X, Y and Z. I'm like, yeah, but you, you put this as a movie and it's got three acts, but it feels like this has got seven acts inside of a three and a half hour movie. And they just weren't as great as I was expecting them to be. So I think that's there, but not bad. Aaron, I'm gonna let you know when I watch a really bad movie. [01:04:48] Speaker B: Let us know. Actually, I'm really curious so we can watch it. No one can top the shitty movie that I've seen with Aaron. It's something about Million Dollar Hotel that's been popping up. Movie I've seen in my life. I remember it we saw with your dad, your mother. [01:05:04] Speaker A: And we only watched it because Mel Gibson was in it. [01:05:06] Speaker B: And, and we're like, we're like, what the G. He's like, oh, sorry, guys, that was pretty bad. Blah, blah. [01:05:13] Speaker A: I think, I think he tried to give us some booze and some extra popcorn. To shut up about that bad review. [01:05:17] Speaker B: Feels rough, man. I. That has stuck out. [01:05:19] Speaker A: I gotta go back and watch it again. Honestly, I don't. [01:05:22] Speaker B: We should have back. We should have a bad movie. [01:05:25] Speaker A: Pod Rome. It's been popping up on my feed here on Amazon. I'm not gonna lie. [01:05:29] Speaker B: Really? [01:05:29] Speaker A: I don't know why. [01:05:30] Speaker B: Is it on there? [01:05:31] Speaker A: Yeah, it's on there. [01:05:32] Speaker B: It. It was bad. It was bad. [01:05:33] Speaker C: What's it called? [01:05:34] Speaker B: Million Dollar Million Hotel. Look it up, Jason. [01:05:39] Speaker C: You saw this in your kids or something? [01:05:40] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. It's Mel Gibson's in it. But it's not like you would think. It's not like your typical Mel Gibson movie. Like, I think that's why we watched it because my dad thought it was gonna be. It's got Mel Gibson and the chick from Resident Evil. [01:05:53] Speaker C: Yeah, it. I see it. Mila Jovovich. [01:05:57] Speaker A: Yes. [01:05:58] Speaker C: It's got Jimmy Smiths. Jimmy Smith's. And it's. [01:06:04] Speaker A: It's an interesting flick. I gotta go back and watch it. What year was it? Because that's the year we watched it. What year did the movie come out? [01:06:09] Speaker B: I feel like it's at 99. [01:06:11] Speaker C: 2,000. [01:06:12] Speaker A: Yeah. So we were close. We were 13, 14 years old and that movie came out. [01:06:16] Speaker B: It makes sense. I was pitching your Corona house. [01:06:18] Speaker C: Yeah, I can't say that I've seen that. I watched the movie on Apple TV plus called Tetris, Kind of story of Tetris. I thought that was pretty good. [01:06:27] Speaker B: You know what? I don't watch like these gimmicky video games turn into movies. But I did watch the Minecraft movie with my daughter. It's actually pretty funny. [01:06:39] Speaker C: Okay. [01:06:40] Speaker B: Not my kind of movie. But like I would watch it again. It was actually pretty good. Like them kidnapping. [01:06:45] Speaker C: It had terrible reviews and made like a billion dollars. [01:06:48] Speaker B: I don't know. I haven't read the reviews. I would typically not watch it. But she's like, Minecraft, let's watch him. Like, cool. But it was actually pretty decent. Surprisingly decent. [01:06:58] Speaker C: So the Tetris movie is not a. Like you're in the world of Tetris. It's a movie behind the story of how they got the gaming rights to put it on a Nintendo arcade. Breath the US because it's originally a Russian game. [01:07:15] Speaker A: Wow. [01:07:15] Speaker C: And they had to. And they had to go through all these hoops and you had competing companies trying to get the rights to publish and produce the game. So. Pretty good. Pretty good. [01:07:27] Speaker B: I did finish watching Celtic City. [01:07:29] Speaker C: Okay. Any. Any. We're bringing it back to sports here in the last few minutes of the pod. So it would. Was any good? [01:07:34] Speaker B: Really good. Got me motivated. I forgot I didn't know a lot about the history of the Celtics. Beyonce, like, you know, you. You know names. But they actually had like, great footage of all these players from, like day one. How it started. Red, you know, just like how he built that and just continued on until like the early 2000s. Pretty amazing, man. This guy, like, really built like a family. It was all about the Celtics, not about Boston. It was like that. I think that that was like the most interesting part about it. Got me motivated to do some stand up comedy on Wednesday and Thursday. And I was like, you know, the. [01:08:09] Speaker A: Celtics, you got a booking now on for a stand up comedy, right? Rome, you got booked now? [01:08:15] Speaker B: I do, yeah. This Thursday. All right. Fucking amazing. [01:08:21] Speaker C: Got it. [01:08:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:08:23] Speaker C: I did see a bad movie this week. [01:08:25] Speaker A: Okay. [01:08:26] Speaker C: On Netflix. The Old Guard two. [01:08:31] Speaker A: Old Guard two. [01:08:32] Speaker B: They Yelp this thing right here. [01:08:34] Speaker C: Charlize Theron. It's the sequel to a movie that was a Netflix original. It's. It's a good bad movie. Like, it's bad, but it's a cool action movie. It's about a. A group of immortals that have lived for thousands of years and they don't age and stuff like that, actually, but it's bad. [01:08:54] Speaker B: I love Charlize. [01:08:58] Speaker C: Yeah, she's great in it, but it's a bad movie. [01:09:01] Speaker B: How old is she? 49. [01:09:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:09:03] Speaker C: And I'll give you. [01:09:04] Speaker A: I'll give you another one in August. [01:09:06] Speaker C: Not. Not a recent movie, Aaron, but another Netflix original, Heart of Stone with Gal Gadot. Awful movie. Heart of Stone. [01:09:17] Speaker A: Yeah, I haven't seen those. I haven't seen those ones. I mean, Netflix does have a lot of. [01:09:21] Speaker C: Not a bad movies on Netflix. They. [01:09:23] Speaker A: Yeah, they just a lot of turnouts. [01:09:25] Speaker C: They churn out some content and it ain't good. [01:09:28] Speaker A: Yeah, like, you'll watch something that's good and then they'll send you some like, Path that's like, oh, if you watch this, you'll like that. And it's. There was always the case they're going. [01:09:37] Speaker B: Through a weird transition right now. [01:09:38] Speaker C: Well, there's like nine Bruce Willis movies that I never heard of that are on there that were just all awful. [01:09:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:09:44] Speaker B: You saw them all? [01:09:46] Speaker C: No, I watched them. Like, I'm like, oh, I didn't hear this, man. What was up with this movie? Oh, my God, this is terrible. Like, the editing on this is terrible. Like, they. They made this thing in 13 days. Definitely. [01:09:57] Speaker A: The good thing is Bruce Willis doesn't remember making them, so that's a good thing there. [01:10:00] Speaker B: That's up. Feel bad for him. [01:10:04] Speaker A: I did too. [01:10:05] Speaker B: Yeah. Classic. [01:10:11] Speaker A: I was watching something. They had Die Hard in the background. I forget what show I was watching. [01:10:18] Speaker C: Me every Christmas Eve. Die Hard. [01:10:20] Speaker A: Yeah, I watched. Yeah, it's a classic Christmas. [01:10:23] Speaker B: Die Hard, not a Christmas movie. [01:10:26] Speaker A: I disagree. It is a Christmas movie, yet all. [01:10:29] Speaker C: The music is Christmas. And it takes place at a Christmas party on Christmas Eve, ends on Christmas Day. He uses rapping paper to put his gun on his back. [01:10:38] Speaker A: And Die Hard 2 is basically during Christmas too. [01:10:41] Speaker B: I gotta rewatch the Die Hards. I'm drawing a blank right now, But. [01:10:44] Speaker C: Die Hard 3, definitely a summer movie. I rewatched that two weeks ago. Die Hard with a vengeance. Jeremy Irons. Simon says great movie. [01:10:55] Speaker A: Rome. Simon says watch Die Hard. [01:10:58] Speaker B: All right, let me finish Tropic Thunder first. Days of Thunder, Rose of Thunder. [01:11:04] Speaker A: Hey, no, he's watching Tropic Thunder. Jason. He's watching that. He's watching something totally different than what you're thinking. [01:11:11] Speaker C: We're way off the Tropic Thunder dip. [01:11:16] Speaker B: It's a funny movie. [01:11:17] Speaker A: Yeah, it is hilarious. [01:11:18] Speaker C: I. I watched that about a month ago. I'll say. For the first time in probably like five. [01:11:22] Speaker B: Stiller wrote that movie. [01:11:24] Speaker C: He did an all time Robert Downey Jr. Performance too. That was like the Ascent of Robert Downey Jr. But like, I. I'll remember the. You remember the start of that movie, guys. Tropic Thunder. No, it has fake trailers. Yeah, like fake movies that all these guys did. I'll never forget sitting in the theater, like, watching these like. Like, what is this trailer? It was like just insane, hilarious stuff. I forget which actor it was, but it was like, it was the one that was a rapper and he was like, selling like some like, Booty Juice or something like that. It was going. And then you get into Jack Black doing like the. His, like, version of like the. The Clumps characters was all these. I think it was called the Farts. And then the Ben Stiller anthology of his terrible action franchise. And just. Oh, my God, like, just kill. You're sitting in the theater, you're thinking, watching previews, and all those things pop up like it was. There's so many great things about that movie. They can never make that movie now at all. But, man, like, there's a generation of people who haven't seen that and how, like, how crazy like, that movie was for its time. [01:12:30] Speaker B: What kind of movie is that? Like, what. What kind of category would. Would you fit that In. It's like a guy movie. Is it? Does it fit like in that, like that weird, like comedy meets Rambo cross section? [01:12:41] Speaker C: I think so, man. It's like. I mean, it's definitely like. It's definitely like. It's definitely comedy. [01:12:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:12:46] Speaker C: But the action in it too, because of like how they're. They're like shooting this in the jungle. [01:12:51] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [01:12:53] Speaker C: And one of the great Tom Cruise performances too. Like, I was talking to somebody the other day about like, I was like, tom Cruise as Les Grossman in that movie was like one of the most shocking things like you've ever seen. Like no one knew he's in the movie. And he comes in like in like a fat suit and a bald cap, just like cussing people out on the phone and dancing to hip hop music with a chain. Like, like they still talk about making a movie like based on that guy just because of like iconic. That performance was like. I mean, that was when Tom Cruise was kind of going like off the railings a little bit and he comes out and it's like one of the funniest performance of the year. Great movie. Tropic Thunder. [01:13:31] Speaker B: Yeah. All right. Hell of a pod today. Hell of a pod. A little bit of everything. Politics, women's basketball, movies. Gotta love it. Guys. Got anything else to say? [01:13:46] Speaker C: Well, I really wanted to talk about the undefeated White Sox since the post break, but they did lose to Tampa today, so they're 4 and 1. I'll be heading to Chicago, Rome for this weekend. White Sox, Cubs cross down series at the rate I will be there. [01:14:02] Speaker B: I love that, dude. Wait, is the rate your guys's thing? [01:14:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:14:07] Speaker C: Yes. It's not called guaranteeing rate fields now it's just rate fields, which I would. [01:14:12] Speaker B: Say it feels that. Not that way, Wrigley. I was like, get me a hat there or something. [01:14:18] Speaker C: And not a regular. I'll be it. What used to be new Comiskey park or U.S. cellular Field. My favorite nickname was the Cell. And I hate that we went against that. But you know, I think I was. [01:14:29] Speaker B: Trying to go to a. A regular game a couple years ago. [01:14:32] Speaker A: Yeah, we were trying to go Rome. We were trying to go in May, sometime in May, but fell apart. [01:14:41] Speaker B: Fell apart. Is that when I got pulled in? Back into family court. Good times, dude. [01:14:48] Speaker A: Probably gotta love it. [01:14:49] Speaker C: It's probably because you didn't open that mail. [01:14:53] Speaker B: From this lady. [01:14:55] Speaker A: You got Mel Jason. [01:14:57] Speaker B: You're lucky guy, dude. Really happy for you. [01:14:59] Speaker C: Thanks, man. I am blessed. [01:15:01] Speaker B: It could have.
