Episode Transcript
[00:00:04] Speaker A: What's up, everybody? We are recording Wednesday night shortly after 9:00pm Pacific Time. We'll start off well. First we got UFC with Paramount plus and also WWE going to ESPN and their direct consumer app that's coming out later this year, 30 a pop. Let's start with the USC deal was just announced a couple days ago. Paramount plus is gonna be the exclusive home for all UFC events. So basically killing pay per view forever, which is pretty wild, I think. Pay per view events, what they cost like what, 70, 80 each, I think. Aaron, you mentioned off air, there's at least. At least like one or two every single month. So it's gonna save you at least 7 to 800 a year. All dedicated UFC fans. But there has been a lot of criticism regarding this deal. It is seven years and it is valued at $7.7 billion. A lot of people saying almost like a 30 to 40% overvaluation on this deal. Some people say it's smart, some people say it's dumb. A lot of people are trying to, you know, figure out whether this is going to be passed on to the consumers eventually. Ads, you know, there's just a lot of money.
A couple things to think about, too.
UFC going away from espn, and ESPN kind of being. I don't know what's the word for it, though. Once they stop covering sport, they don't really produce much content on that sport anymore. They've done that with NHL baseball times, and if you look at the social media followings on Paramount CVS versus ESPN is. It's quite a big gap and the type of exposure, at least for clicks and viability.
But as of right now, Paramount plus you got two. You got the essential package with ads, 799amonth or $59 a year, and then the premium, which is ad free and includes CBS and Showtime content at 12.9 month. Honestly, I totally forgot they had Showtime involved. And I got to catch up on the show Billions and a few other shows.
So that kind of sounds kind of good considering Showtime by itself is 12.99. But we'll start with there guys.
Aaron, you're. You're the big UFC guy here. You like seeing guys grapple with each other's dicks and, you know, wrestle all over TV.
[00:02:40] Speaker B: You like the deal? That was back in the 90s when, uh, low blows were pretty famous. I mean, that was, that was. That was illegal back then.
[00:02:47] Speaker A: I just, I just, you know, I want to like YC more. It's just, just. It's just so gay sometimes. But some Good fights, though. They always, they always produce really, really good stuff. Dana White. You know, there's also the criticism part. Like, is this going to increase like, like, like the, like the pay for fighters? They've gotten like a lot of slack over not paying their fighters what they're worth, not probably the proper care, etc. Etc. You gotta imagine this should trickle down, but who knows with the TK Group.
[00:03:20] Speaker B: Initial thoughts, though, I mean, Rome, you said it best. I mean, this deal is gonna save me upwards to about 800 bucks.
So, you know, fighter pay should increase hopefully. But yeah, I mean, my, my pay savings increases as it increases. I'm extremely happy. I mean, I'm paying ESPN plus by itself, I believe is 1199, 1099, somewhere in that ballpark. And then the pay per views are 79.99. If you get the early bird special, it's 10 bucks off, but it's almost.
[00:03:51] Speaker A: A thousand bucks a year.
[00:03:52] Speaker B: Yeah, for I believe they were doing 16 pay per view events before. I'm not sure, but now I believe it's gonna be 13.
Okay, which is fine. Plus 30 UFC Fight Nights, which is basically going to be.
You're gonna have a fight like every other week and they have it on the weekend, so about two to three months, you'll have two fight nights and a pay per view.
So that's good. I mean, I'm happy with it. 12.99, no ads. Sign me up, man. I'll be signing up come, you know, January 1st, basically getting ready for that January non pay per view, ufc, whatever number will be when it comes up.
[00:04:32] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm really curious, like it just goes month to month, right? It's not like a year contract or anything with them.
[00:04:38] Speaker C: Yeah, it's just month to month. I mean, I have Paramount plus now for everything. But I will say when this deal starts, and it's already been out there, you know, whether it's Q1, Q2 of next year for Paramount, plus that price is definitely going to go up to pay for some of this too. And then you mentioned commercials. I think part of this, Aaron, too, is like some of this is going to air on cbs, like the main network too. They're going to have stuff on there as well too. So with the rights of that being on CBS now, you're talking about advertising dollars on main TV that pays for. And so you start thinking about UFC and whether it's in streaming or putting it on their broadcast networks. I mean, with cbs, they got the CBS Sports network on terrestrial TV that I'M sure it gives them content for that as well. That probably hasn't been talked about.
So there's just, I think, so much they can do with it. You can talk about overpayment and the people out there, whatever you want. But you think about when these TV deals go for that amount of time, they turn into value. But live sports across the board, this is what entertainment companies need because everything else, you know, people don't watch on demand. You are watching a UFC fight live. Otherwise it's spoiled on, you know, X or anywhere else because it's not going to happen. Appointment television doesn't happen on regular tv. You know, Rome, you talk about watching Billions, man, that thing wrapped two years ago. I can spoil the whole thing for you right now. But no one's going to. No one's going to. And people aren't watching shows like that where live sports is going to get that money. I think UFC put themselves in a position for this and has one central home which I know we'll get into it more is a stark contrast for how TKO is the parent company is operating wwe, which is giving. Which is selling its rights to multiple different companies versus everything going under one roof with. With ufc. And I think there's.
It's probably smart because I'll say at the same time, the other company or sports league that did this was mls. They sold all of their rights to Apple. But then within Apple, even I have Apple tv. Plus I don't get all the MLS games. I have to pay for another package within Apple if I was going to watch all the Apple. So they're not. I think there was something out there. They only have a couple hundred thousand subscribers or something like that for. For like the MLS package. And so I would say MLs on a TV perspective isn't even as widely watched when it was on ESPN and Fox Sports. And so whether that was a smart move them. But I think for ufc, hey, you could put some of these events on main cbs. You're going to have this stuff on streaming and give it in different things to drive to your streaming service. You know, that's a big deal.
And obviously since it's been in the works and Paramount had their merger with Skydance and kind of where that mega corporation was going, like we talked about.
[00:07:19] Speaker A: A couple weeks ago.
[00:07:20] Speaker C: Yeah, so this was something that was probably in the works that they were going to happen.
And then you bring it back to your point on espn Rome, like. Yeah, the NHL thing I think is the most glaring for ESPN's coverage and don't think two different things tying into where ESPN just did too. They just doubled down on football. You know, they just gave 10% of ESPN to the NFL. And so, you know, they may not have as much room for where we're talking about ufc because ESPN owns basketball rights. ESPN owns football rights. Hey, that's where we're pumping into. They're not going to have baseball starting next season for any live sports stuff. Now they're bringing in WWE to a degree.
[00:07:57] Speaker A: And so I, I guess that happened as well.
[00:08:01] Speaker B: Does the ESPN still even really do boxing? Remember boxing Friday nights used to be pretty big on espn. Probably, what about a decade ago. Remember that was always a big event. And I don't think they have that.
[00:08:11] Speaker A: Well, that. Well, that's when we used to have boxing passes as well.
[00:08:14] Speaker B: Yeah. So, I mean, yeah, going back, I mean, I think the UFC is going to have at least four live events on regular CBS cable television a year. So there's gonna be at least four events on cbs. Obviously, the big ones being hyped up next year, Fourth of July, White House. That one will be on cbs. That, that's a guarantee. You can, you can book that, you.
[00:08:35] Speaker A: Can market, take that seriously.
[00:08:37] Speaker B: That, that is gonna happen. So that one might. That will likely be the debut of the UFC on cbs.
[00:08:44] Speaker A: I don't know, we could talk about the NFL thing as well later on because I guess that happened in the.
There's a lot of layers to that.
So do. So this is like so much way more than wwe. And I. And I thought WWE was bigger than.
[00:09:00] Speaker C: UFC from a partnership standpoint. Like they're pretty much a 50, 50 when it came to the, the merger and the buyout from tko. If you're looking at the numbers Rome like it's, it's different because UFC selling their entire slate to Paramount. So 7.7 billion or 7 years. ESPN is just selling. Our WWE is just selling to ESPN the ples, which are the former pay per views. So you get your, you know, dozen, you know, monthly pay per views on ESPN. That doesn't include WWE's tape library. That has all the historical stuff that's on Peacock right now. That doesn't include Raw, that doesn't include SmackDown, doesn't include NXT.
So, you know, WWE has a $5 billion deal over 10 years with Netflix for Monday Night Raw domestically and then some of the streaming rights internationally and in different countries. They got another billion dollar deal with NBC Universal or whatever the parent company is for smackdown and USA Network. They got a deal with I don't even know what the company is, but they have the nxt, which is the third kind of developmental brand on the CW network.
[00:10:07] Speaker A: That's right. Yeah. And so CW network, jeez.
[00:10:11] Speaker C: Yeah. And so WWE's strategy or the way TKO has WWE is like they got shows with multiple partners because they got something with Netflix, they got something with ESPN/Disney, they got something with NBC Universal. And so they, they got other way of billions kind of going across the way. So I think there's a different way you, you know, the evaluations of this can be. And the way they're trying to get it where, like I said, Paramount, they had everything. Ufc, it's a one stop shop. Wwe, you're gonna be going to different places.
[00:10:42] Speaker B: UFC has always kind of been a one place shop. I mean, they were with Spike TV forever, then they went to fo, then they went to Fox. That was like a one or two year experiment. They've been with ESPN for what, the last five, six years and now they got, they're going to Paramont. So that's kind of been the UFC's model. I mean, this depending on what you say. I mean, the evaluation for the UFC, I mean they sold to the TKO Group for I believe it was what, 4 billion. But I believe it's valued anywhere between 12 to 16 billion. Now, the UFC, if they were to resell.
So that's basically his contracts, about half of what their value is.
And I do believe their international rights are still up. Paramount has not got that signed, but I believe it's going to get that eventually signed. That's still on the table, but once that becomes available, because that's under, I think a different kind of contract they've got.
[00:11:35] Speaker A: For who?
[00:11:35] Speaker B: For the ufc, their international stuff that they got. So. But I believe Paramount plus eventually is going to get that once it becomes available.
[00:11:42] Speaker A: Well, yeah, because I, I think it's for everything for ufc.
[00:11:45] Speaker B: There's something international that's not, not yet set in stone.
[00:11:50] Speaker A: I know at wwe, the international is still going to be on Netflix and a lot of stuff will stay on Peacock in USA five years.
How much is the deal worth?
[00:12:01] Speaker C: For who? ESP for ESPN and WWE? Yeah, I think it was like one point.
[00:12:06] Speaker A: Got it. 1.6 billion for five years.
That's so crazy. Like, even if it's not everything, that's.
It seemed reasonable, that price.
[00:12:17] Speaker C: I mean, it's 12, it's, it's only giving them 12 shows. Like it's just what it is. Like, you know, like I said, you're getting. You're in WrestleMania, you're in the Royal Rumble, and maybe SummerSlam that you're as well. Yeah, so you're getting those on probably espn, the actual network, and then on the over the top service, you'll have the other secondary pay per views that they'll talk through.
But yeah, it's just a portion of what they have to offer. Peacock right now has all of those, plus everything from a tape library, historical stuff and everything. So that's, I think ESPN's president said.
[00:12:51] Speaker A: Today, trying to get that right.
[00:12:52] Speaker C: Yeah, that's. They're open to get that too, because that's, you know, it's just tons of more content. You know, we had our, you know, Hulk Hogan talk through in the 96 bash of the beach. Like WWE's main thing is like, hey, they got, you know, hundreds of thousands of hours of like archival wrestling, you know, footage and shows and things like that they've acquired over the years. That, you know, that's just content you can sell, that you can package in bunch of different ways. And a service like that.
[00:13:19] Speaker A: What's crazy is their WWE's current deal with NBC Universal, who owns Peacock, 180 million a year. So they're getting a big boost, almost double by making the switch to ESPN and obviously a bigger platform for sports fans.
Man, ESPN has been doing like a crazy transition and the NFL already did their contract. Last time we were in the pod, right?
[00:13:48] Speaker B: Yeah, I think we talked. I think it closed that day of the pod. But yeah, going back on the ufc, don't kind of reading over it. Basically Paramount, like I said, has all fights that are in the US Coverage too. So obviously the UFC does fights in Brazil, Austria, all that stuff. So eventually Paramount plus will get a deal for that signed as well, from what I've heard.
[00:14:10] Speaker A: That's so much money, man.
I'm really curious how they're gonna make their money back or like, how's it.
[00:14:14] Speaker B: Well, like Jason said, I mean, it's gonna go up from 12.99 and 7.99.
[00:14:18] Speaker A: That price is gonna go up.
[00:14:19] Speaker B: You know, I don't know how crazy.
[00:14:21] Speaker A: It will get, but it says not changing, but like, I mean, I don't.
[00:14:25] Speaker B: Know if it's gonna get locked in for, you know, a year or something, but in the next seven years, we all know all streaming services are gonna go up in cost. That's just. It's a. Give me.
[00:14:34] Speaker C: Yeah, I mean, Paramount plus already, since I've had it, they've increased the cost. Peacock has, you know, it's just increase their costs. And to me, they're losing the WWE content off of Peacock. So I don't know why I'm keeping that. At a certain point when you're looking at. So now, I mean, you. We talked about the, the Cable plus thing where they start bundling this stuff. Like ESPN already offers the bundle with hbo, Max and Hulu and Disney plus all together as a service.
[00:15:01] Speaker A: And then, and then Disney just acquired who or like they, they're shutting down Hulu this year.
[00:15:08] Speaker C: Yeah, I mean it'll just be a part of the Disney plus app. You know, it's as far as like what's on there. But I mean it's just.
[00:15:14] Speaker A: So you got rid of cable?
[00:15:16] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:15:16] Speaker A: Everybody separated their own ways. Now we're bundling all back. It's Cable plus on get cable anymore.
[00:15:21] Speaker C: Now it's just kickstarting. It's just Cable plus. So I mean, that's. But it's interesting. Like we're. Some of these streamers are gonna die. That's the other thing too. You're talking to. So Paramount buys this.
So now, hey, you're gonna get. I don't know how many UFC fans don't have Paramount plus, but you're gonna get them because I'm gonna get all these pay per views and sign up.
But you know, Peacock, what's, what's their value? What's the operating stuff? You know, for them to be profitable with the streaming service. You see, original content isn't what it is. Like Netflix.
[00:15:52] Speaker B: Peacock. Peacock's got the NBA right now.
[00:15:55] Speaker C: They do got the NBA. So that can go on there, but that goes on NBC. So like how much of that stuff is gonna be for basketball fans? Like how much do they. They own? So I mean, it's, it's an interesting like model from original Contact. But again, sports become so valuable because from a production standpoint, it's not like making like, you know, hundred million dollar episodes of Game of Thrones for like six episodes are on there. Hey, I throw these millions behind, you know, hundreds of hours of content of whatever sport we're out there that's available to watch.
[00:16:24] Speaker B: So.
[00:16:25] Speaker A: Well, that's what sucks about tv. Like everything has changed. Like what Colbert, right? They just slashed him because he's losing so much money. But then they're dishing out all these other deals. Like that whole thing look, looks like it's full, full of. But like the, like the cost to produce a TV show, like what we grew up with, right? All these sitcoms we had TGIF I think on ABC it's like a whole lineup of TV of family TV shows from like 5 to like 9 o'. Clock. Then they show like an old movie from 8 to 10, whatever it was.
It's just so costly and all these studios now are just cutting costs. They just could find now they could produce like, like who, who wants to get rich? Who wants to do trivia with some celebrity? And it's like a fraction of that. It's so cheap and it gets clicks and it gets views. People love that shit.
And we already kind of went through the golden era of like TV shows, I guess. And yeah, you still have these expensive productions like Game of Thrones and House of Dragons, but those are like small miniseries and I don't know, man, it's just sports is like the only avenue that you can actually get advertisers in front of consumers eyes because that's it. Because everyone's gonna either.
[00:17:38] Speaker B: Well yeah, because you can pay to skip ads now.
[00:17:41] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, so. And like that's the only time that you can actually natively include ads and no one's gonna blink an eye. So it's, it's pretty wild.
[00:17:51] Speaker C: You'll see in the use UFC broadcast. I mean there's already tons of advertising around a USC event as it is. And like what's going to be more surrounding it? Because you know, Aaron, Aaron pays with the, the Paramount plus without ads. But I'm sorry, between the UFC fight, you know, between on a fight car, between fight to fight, there's all this like time that's just ticking away. You know, there's going to be ads during that time that you can't skip because it's a live event. Like you, you can't skip over stuff in a live event. And that's where avatars can eat set up versus.
Yeah, when I watch, you know, Billions on Amazon or on Paramount plus or I'm watching House of the Dragon on hbo Max. Like, I don't want a commercial in the middle of this like premium TV stuff. And at your point you talk about the production, right? You're exactly right. Rome. The cheap. The cheap TV that's on like our basic networks right now, like, you know, abc, cbs, NBC, Fox, like they don't got two to three hours of original like programming they're gonna watch like they can go all in maybe like with one or two shows for like a TV cycle season. And then maybe they get a hit, maybe they don't. And then they surround it with game shows or cooking contests or Whatever BS sales they put on.
[00:18:58] Speaker A: So sick of it.
[00:18:59] Speaker C: And then like, even on the. The other complaint is for us, on like the premier TV stuff for a show like Game of Thrones or House of Dragon more recently, these things take so long for them to produce. Like, you don't get. You don't get it like every year, like, oh, I'm waiting two years until the next season comes out of this show because we don't even get the turn out of that. And where things, you know, because there's. We don't follow the traditional TV season model anymore with a lot of this stuff. And then they try to do so much with the production value. But yeah, like, it's live sports. You're gonna get it because, hey, I'm gonna sit there. Aaron, how long are these UFC cards? Like eight hours?
[00:19:38] Speaker B: No, if you go in person and actually watch, they start as early as I think 2:30, 3 o'. Clock. So yeah, they'll run about seven hours. The pay per view cards run about three hours, two and a half, three hours if they, if the fights go the distance. But yeah, typically the main event will be over between like 9:45 and 10:15 on a seven, on a 7:00 clock start. You get five fights on the pay per view card and then you get another eight, basically on the undercard, which, which the undercard used to be back in the day on like Facebook or something. The first like three fights and then they would have like ESPN plus will cover like the prelims. So there's four main fights on the prelims, five on the pay per view, and then like three fights that used to be like on Facebook or whatever camera so low mine. Yeah, I don't know. You want me to fix it for you?
[00:20:31] Speaker C: He didn't, you didn't pay attention to anything you just said? He was just staring at.
[00:20:34] Speaker B: Yeah, I guess so.
[00:20:35] Speaker C: He wanted to make sure.
He want to make sure you saw that entire Pete Rose jersey behind him. You know, you don't want to make sure you miss that on.
[00:20:41] Speaker B: You don't, man. You don't.
[00:20:42] Speaker A: You know, you were saying, Jason, to what Aaron said about the podcast, Facebook, all that stuff.
[00:20:48] Speaker C: If there's mad much with prelims and stuff. Again, more advertising dollars downtime between the fights. Like what's going to be to broadcast these things. So there's.
[00:20:56] Speaker A: Especially if it's a knockout, there's like a good 20, 30 minutes at least, minimum. Just advertisements.
[00:21:01] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, I would say there's probably 10 to 15 minutes between fights.
[00:21:09] Speaker A: Minimum.
[00:21:09] Speaker B: And they usually. And how they also fill up time is depending on if the fights go fast, then they do in ring interviews and that can take three to five minutes. It just depends.
[00:21:19] Speaker A: Yeah, if a fight ends fast, like, oh, we got like another behind the scenes interview presented by Celsius, by Nutrigrain Bar, by this and that on Spike tv.
[00:21:28] Speaker B: Gotta get that. You gotta get the blue. You gotta get the blue. Chew ads in.
Those are really hot.
[00:21:33] Speaker C: Back then, I mean even, I mean I don't watch, I mean WWE when they're doing stuff like every event is presented by such and such. I don't know if USC does every.
[00:21:43] Speaker B: Yeah, you.
[00:21:43] Speaker C: Yeah, UFC 350, you know.
[00:21:46] Speaker B: Yeah.
By usually whatever their beer sponsor, Monster Bud Light, Modelo. Yeah, they, they all have that. Yeah.
[00:21:54] Speaker C: So even like the broadcasting stuff is like, you know, I mean Rob, you watch the, you know, oh, you don't wake up for it. But you know, ESPN, ESPN's coverage of Formula One is presented by Mercedes Benz, you know, your girl in the co, Briscoe at the end of the end of the race, you know, letting us know that. So even what those fights are presented by like stuff they could be, you know, Paramount selling there. So there's, there's money to be made in this stuff. Man, these billionaires are going to be okay.
[00:22:20] Speaker A: Yeah, they'll definitely be okay.
[00:22:23] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, let's hope like you said Rome, they start taking better care of the fighters. I mean a lot of the fighters are taken care of pretty well. But I mean, yeah, I mean you're fighting on the, if you're fighting on that under undercard, like the, you know, starting at 230 fight at the UFC, you might be making only 10 to 20 thousand dollars for that fight.
[00:22:40] Speaker A: That's crazy.
[00:22:41] Speaker B: So a lot of those guys, a lot of those guys you see fighting there actually have like nine to five full time jobs working like at a Home Depot or something like that. So yeah, it, it's almost like a tear. Like you gotta move yourself up the tier and be dedicated to it. So I mean, I guess you could say you like that. They just don't want, you know, some guy being a star on a podcast and talking and then getting paid millions of dollars for a fight, you really gotta, you know, work your way up. I mean, CM Punk, who Jason knows very well in the wwe, he came to the UFC kind of, you know, trained for a few years, got in, got knocked out a few times and got out. I mean, it wasn't worth the pay. Getting the all the training and damage you can take going against, you know, fighters have been training for the last five, 10, 15 years on a consistent basis.
[00:23:31] Speaker A: Any other comments on the TV deals?
[00:23:33] Speaker C: No, I think it's not the last of, you know, stuff to come.
I think there's more stuff definitely in WWE's world when we talked about like their tape library, if that's going to stay on Peacock, if there's going to be deal be made, does ESPN go after that? And then I think upcoming, you know, other Formula one. You know, we obviously talk a lot of Formula one on this podcast because of me. Their deal is going to be expiring with ESPN soon and that's pretty low one. So that one's gonna be coming up. Apple apparently is very intrigued in that TV deal. So there's gonna be, I think there's some still, you know, some money on the table.
[00:24:05] Speaker B: Is that is Apple going to get Sunday Night Baseball?
[00:24:08] Speaker C: I don't know.
I think there's basically this one year limbo thing they have right now since ESPN declined that and from next year. But I, I'd assume, yeah, I think.
[00:24:18] Speaker B: I've read like it's either Apple or maybe NBC was kind of poking their head in there.
[00:24:25] Speaker C: NBC had a couple years ago on Peacock they had like the Sunday morning breakfast game or something like that. I remember that's when like the White Sox were actually good. They were on that a few times but it was like it was like a 10am Pacific time like baseball game or even earlier than that. Like that they did. I think Apple may do that now. I don't even know but because Apple's Friday Night Baseball I think right now. So.
[00:24:46] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:24:47] Speaker A: So many streaming services.
I gotta imagine this is eventually gonna affect the consumer. It's getting too costly now. You have to have every subscription basically. Apple, Paramount, Peacock, espn.
[00:25:00] Speaker B: Yeah, because I mean the new app.
[00:25:02] Speaker A: You'Re gonna need NFL Sunday Ticket though. Even though ESPN now owns the NFL like they own Red Zone, it's just like.
[00:25:08] Speaker B: Well I mean YouTube t what YouTube has with the NFL for what, five more years or four more after this season. Because I think they signed a seven year deal, right. And this is year three of the seven.
So I mean you could, you could see ESPN take over, you know, Sunday Ticket once this all kind of ends since the NFL already has 10 stake in them. So that's, that's something you could see here in the, by the end of this decade.
[00:25:31] Speaker C: Really you could. But that's YouTube TV's Google Money. So you know, Disney doesn't have Google money.
[00:25:42] Speaker A: Crazy.
Yeah, I got nothing else. What else you guys want to talk about?
[00:25:47] Speaker B: Well, Rome, your Dodgers just got swept by the Angels.
[00:25:50] Speaker A: Yeah, that's.
[00:25:51] Speaker B: That's six. That's six in a row that the Angels have taken from the Dodgers this season.
[00:25:56] Speaker C: Wow. That's a season series season sweep, huh?
[00:25:59] Speaker B: Sweep. Hitting the Padres in sole possession of first place of the NN west as they get ready for a three game set starting Friday at Dodger Stadium.
[00:26:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Now it's tough.
Life is tough right now.
[00:26:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
I think you might want to retake that misery test because I think he went from about a 22 to about 32 after this sweep.
[00:26:22] Speaker C: Misery test, man. Yeah. Okay.
[00:26:25] Speaker A: ESPN has a misery test for. For sports fandom. Some AI bot thing. It's kind of limited. You can only do pro baseball, football, basketball, hockey, wnba. Because everyone's watching that. And then what was the other one?
[00:26:44] Speaker C: Mls.
[00:26:45] Speaker A: Mls. And with the women's soccer league, nwslsl.
[00:26:51] Speaker B: And it's just the women's soccer league only been not that long, right?
[00:26:56] Speaker C: No, it's been a good amount of time.
[00:26:57] Speaker A: Don't know. I. I do follow Trinity Rodman. That's about the only player I really follow.
[00:27:01] Speaker B: You love the Rodman throne.
You got to get that jersey. If it's still there in circa hanging. I think you got to get that next weekend.
[00:27:09] Speaker A: I should actually.
[00:27:10] Speaker B: I mean it had your name on it.
[00:27:13] Speaker A: I sent you guys a video clip, but I realized it didn't get sent on the chat, which means it just. It just wouldn't send.
[00:27:25] Speaker B: So your daughter was taking up all the WI fi.
[00:27:28] Speaker A: Don't know what happened, but it's a video.
My daughter brought a bag with her from her mom's house. It was my old jerseys that I have not seen in about seven to eight years, if that.
It was my old Jordan Jersey, Kobe jerseys, 8 and 24 for some reason. Gary Payton and Carl Malone that one season there, there with the Lakers. There's also a Carl Carmelo Anthony jersey from the Denver Nuggets. There is a Allen Iverson 76ers jersey, old school champion jersey from when I was in middle school. It's a. It's a kid's size, a kid's large. So it's not going to fit. But it was pretty cool seeing that there was my Red Sox jersey.
[00:28:18] Speaker B: A lot, a lot of jerseys here. Rome.
[00:28:20] Speaker A: And then, and then, and then the Lakers championship hats.
[00:28:24] Speaker B: Are they all in one piece or kind of cut up? You know, they're all in one piece.
[00:28:28] Speaker A: I was surprised. Oh, man. I've been looking for these things, like, wondering, like, where they were, and I get them back, I'm just like, oh, yeah, that's.
I was pretty happy.
[00:28:40] Speaker B: My.
[00:28:40] Speaker A: My daughter's like, you're really happy, huh? I'm like, dude, you don't even know how much these jerseys mean to me.
If your mom saw this, she probably, like, that's why.
[00:28:47] Speaker C: That's why it's funny you bring that up. I actually was going through a lot of my clothes recently and just had to make space in the closet.
Got rid of a couple jerseys.
Got rid of some jerseys. Aaron. One of those we've talked. I got rid of was. Was little Danny and Tomlinson.
[00:29:04] Speaker B: Danny Tomlinson, tcu.
[00:29:06] Speaker A: Where'd you get rid of them, too?
[00:29:08] Speaker C: Well, you know, just donating out to the. You know, to the good people that may need a donation, but friends.
No, the. The Salvation Army.
[00:29:17] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:29:18] Speaker A: Oh, man.
[00:29:18] Speaker B: They leave. They leave a box or, you know, every once in a while.
[00:29:23] Speaker C: Had to. No, just, you know, going through, you know, realizing Rome in the jersey days. And yours are probably like this, too. You know, I got the XL jerseys, you know, so.
[00:29:32] Speaker A: Oh, mine are huge.
[00:29:35] Speaker C: Now, whether you're putting these things on, man, there's. There's a ton of length in those sleeves, and it's going down, and, you know, you just don't wear a jersey like that anymore. And then looking at that ladanian Tomlinson specific. Aaron. Yeah. A lot of food stains on it. I don't remember what was going on in the Padres or the. The Chargers games you were going to, but this.
[00:29:53] Speaker A: You didn't dry clean it.
[00:29:54] Speaker C: Apparently not. And there it also was falling apart, I would say, just a little. So time was. Was getting to it, so the quality kind of just wasn't there.
Yeah. But then I had a bunch of. I. You know, I have. I'm. No, you know, I have plenty of Bears jerseys, but I do have a haul of Bears jerseys from the early 2000s. They're also all in extra large. And I'm like, yeah, I don't think I need, like, multiple Erlacher jerseys in different colors. And I got this extra large, so.
[00:30:19] Speaker A: I would have taken her lack of jersey from you.
[00:30:21] Speaker C: Yeah, my bad. So, I mean.
[00:30:22] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:30:23] Speaker C: To go check it out, but, yeah. Had to clean the closet. We still got plenty of jerseys left in the archives, but, yeah.
Had to depart for a few of. Hey, I just. I'm gonna part down to the largest, because that's the ones at least. I know I'LL wear still.
[00:30:37] Speaker A: Yeah, I, I didn't try try them on because I dressed like a, like a gangster as a kid. I had like the, the extra large colored shirt and then the, then the XXL white shirt to go underneath. Then you fold up the sleeves.
[00:30:52] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:30:52] Speaker A: Look like chingy all the time. I had to do rag in high school with a different colored hats.
[00:30:57] Speaker C: Well, you got the. It was the pro club shirt underneath. Was it the pro clubs?
[00:31:01] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:31:01] Speaker C: Yeah.
You know it's funny you were listening to.
You know, I was going through these jerseys. I was thinking about the throwback jerseys and then I had. I was like, man, you know what, you know what the song was back in the day. I had. I pull up fabulous in the Street Dreams album where he does the throwback song. You know, just bring it. Bringing it back, dude.
[00:31:20] Speaker A: A baggy style started to come back. I. I saw some kids wearing some baggy clothes. I'm like, dude, that's some pretty baggy stuff. It's not gonna be as bad as it was in the 90s, but no chance, no chance now.
[00:31:32] Speaker C: I'll be honest with you, man, I couldn't do it. It's too hot. It's 100 degrees down here, man. I can't be caught wearing no baggy jersey, man. It's too hot.
[00:31:40] Speaker A: Not approaching.
I'm not doing that.
[00:31:42] Speaker C: I'm not getting. I'm not getting the jean shorts out that are down to my mid shins and got everything.
[00:31:52] Speaker A: I would bust out high socks still. I think that that's still in. I. I would still do that.
[00:31:56] Speaker C: But Rome's doing high white socks with slides. You know, he's good rocking out there, you know.
[00:32:01] Speaker A: Do you guys wear slides you do pretty like, like you wear out in public?
[00:32:06] Speaker C: Not as much. Mostly it's around the house and if I'm running, you know, some stuff. I mean I will, but I'm stuff but not.
[00:32:12] Speaker A: I put on sandals when me and my daughter were hanging out by the pool and I just, I haven't wore them in a while. It's been like a year.
And I just feel uncomfortable wearing sandals and, and I mean by the pool is fine.
[00:32:25] Speaker B: At home is fine. I don't know if you like go out public though.
[00:32:28] Speaker A: Like I see guys all the time in sandals and I just lose respect for them for some reason.
[00:32:35] Speaker C: Like regular, like just regular sandals with no socks type thing.
[00:32:40] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:32:41] Speaker C: I don't know, man. I think it's. I think it's a good look.
[00:32:45] Speaker B: There's a time and place for it.
[00:32:46] Speaker C: Romans, it's 100 degrees outside. When I go outside this weekend, thinking I'm rocking, you know, I'm rocking some sandals. I'm sorry.
[00:32:53] Speaker A: Yeah, okay.
[00:32:55] Speaker B: Yeah, it's not. It's not 65 in overcast Rome like it was. It was 105 here, like, last week. Man.
[00:33:01] Speaker A: I. I know that's a SoCal thing. I, I, like, I was thinking about it and. Yeah, that's definitely a SoCal thing.
[00:33:07] Speaker B: You're from the I Romeo.
[00:33:10] Speaker C: All of Orange county. And like, San Diego is just like, what is this guy talking about? Because that's all. They'd be just rocking, you know, sandals out there.
[00:33:18] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. I don't respect them. We'll have to do, like, a little live audience podcast.
Walking up the guys like, hey, I don't know. I don't know how we got into the jersey topic, but also your ex.
[00:33:32] Speaker B: Gave your daughter a bag of it to give to you. That's how we got into it.
[00:33:36] Speaker A: She'll take me to court probably like in another couple weeks. Every time she does a good deed.
[00:33:40] Speaker B: It might have been. It might have been a note at the bottom.
You just didn't see it.
[00:33:44] Speaker A: Another false claim or something. It's just. I'm like, ah.
I was really happy, though. I'm like, ah, that's great.
I should try them on though, because, yeah, they're all like, whatever size it is. Plus two.
That's a little plus two at the bottom.
[00:34:00] Speaker C: Plus two is the length, so you get the little extra. You're getting the extra length, which obviously, since all three of us are like five, eight, you know, I don't think you need. I don't. I don't think you need that. Plus two.
[00:34:10] Speaker A: If I go take them to the tail, you know, the Taylors, and see if I can get them fixed. I don't wear jerseys, though. Oh, I can't remember the last time I wore a jersey.
[00:34:17] Speaker C: I will say I love a good baseball jersey. And so when I go to the White Sox games, I just. I like the good, you, Nike, really great baseball jerseys. And then I had the. I have the Mitchell.
[00:34:27] Speaker A: Do you rep a player's name or just, like, a neutral jersey?
[00:34:31] Speaker C: I rep the player's name. I'm not, I'm not stuck up with these guys that you can't wear somebody else's name on the back. You know, I go to a game, you're going to rep the star that's in front of you.
[00:34:39] Speaker B: You have a current White Sox guy you're repping. Or is this like Old school.
[00:34:44] Speaker C: I, I, I have both. I do have a current 1. The 2000 and 2001 White Sox got me excited, so I had bought and a Luis Robert jersey.
[00:34:52] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:34:53] Speaker C: So it's, it's still, he's still there for now. Yeah. My Tim Anderson jersey. I thought he was not as, not as much. I can't, I can't put that one on right now.
[00:35:02] Speaker B: But the Where's Tim Anderson now is even in the league.
[00:35:04] Speaker C: He's not Angels. Cut him.
[00:35:06] Speaker B: Okay. He's been bouncing around here a lot. Hey, what's, what's, what's with the White Sox wearing the throwback like Chicago Bulls looking like baseball jersey. Every time I see him, they're getting killed in it just like the Bulls do in real basketball.
12 nothing. I'm like, I'm like, geez, just take that crap off.
[00:35:25] Speaker C: That's the city connect. The second version. City connect.
[00:35:29] Speaker B: I don't like that.
[00:35:29] Speaker A: Do we have a, do we have a, a picture of this?
[00:35:33] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:35:34] Speaker B: It literally looks like the Chicago Bulls.
[00:35:35] Speaker A: Like red City connect jersey.
[00:35:39] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:35:39] Speaker A: It's the new.
[00:35:39] Speaker C: It's the second city connect, though. The first ones to me are the best. City connect.
It's the south side one of the City connect. That was the first one, the Bulls one. I can't do, I can't dig the black and red.
[00:35:50] Speaker B: I don't like it at all.
[00:35:51] Speaker A: Every time it looks too.
[00:35:53] Speaker B: They get killed. They're getting murdered every time I see that.
[00:35:56] Speaker C: South side one's great, man. Because I, you see me wear that hat before Rome, the hat was the, the old English writing that said shy on it.
[00:36:03] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:36:03] Speaker C: And had the south side. Actually, you know what I do have? I do have the Southside connect jersey. Someone had gotten that for me. But yeah, the, the City connect. Bulls one's not a fan. But I'll tell you, Aaron, while I wasn't a fan, while I went to these White Sox games this last month, tons of people bought them just really everywhere, like really liked it. And I had friends, not White Sox fans that are, you know, California people. When those came out, they were like, these are fire. So I think, I think what it was doing was, you know, Aaron, you know, you know, being the non from Chicago 90s Bulls fan, I think it was like getting at a bunch of these Bulls fans that are from the 90s probably trying to buy this stuff. And obviously in Chicago, being Bulls fans is where they're going. But, but I grew there and I wasn't digging them. I wasn't gonna buy one.
I'M holding out for. You know, I didn't mention the other jerseys I have. I have The Mitchell and Ness 93 Frank Thomas jersey.
[00:36:56] Speaker A: That's kind of ball.
[00:36:57] Speaker C: That one I like.
[00:36:58] Speaker A: The next is different.
[00:37:00] Speaker C: Mitchell and Ness. I don't know who.
[00:37:02] Speaker B: Frank.
[00:37:02] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:37:05] Speaker C: Yeah. So the next Michelin Nest though. I need, I need the O5 World Series 1 oh, five World Series. Either Mark Burley and Paul Canerco in the gray. I don't got a gray White Sox jersey. Need to add it. I need one of the 05 Mitchell and Nest ones. They're out there too. So that'll be on the doc.
[00:37:22] Speaker A: Look, I'm trying to look at all the MLB City connectors.
[00:37:26] Speaker C: There's some God awful ones, there are some bad ones.
[00:37:29] Speaker B: I definitely, definitely don't like that.
[00:37:30] Speaker A: Chicago White Sox kind of like the Pittsburgh one. Pittsburgh Pirates just like this old school classic yellow.
[00:37:38] Speaker B: Yeah, I think I know which one you're talking about.
[00:37:39] Speaker A: Baltimore Orioles seems pretty chill. They got good colors though.
[00:37:44] Speaker C: Orioles going back to Pittsburgh. I think the one thing I love about Pittsburgh the most is that Pittsburgh black and yellow is just the city color. Like all, all three sports teams. Black and yellow. Like no other city does it like that. From a Pittsburgh perspective, like they own.
[00:38:03] Speaker A: I love it.
[00:38:04] Speaker C: I think, I think that's cool.
[00:38:05] Speaker A: I, I do have a San Diego Padres City connect T shirt. I think me and Aaron.
[00:38:11] Speaker B: Oh, that the one.
[00:38:13] Speaker A: The Juan Soto's. Right. When he got suspended.
[00:38:15] Speaker B: Yeah, I got that.
[00:38:16] Speaker A: I usually, I usually wear that during workouts or just chilling out.
[00:38:20] Speaker B: Yeah, I wear that around here. I like that.
[00:38:23] Speaker A: But it's, it's a pretty crazy neon color.
[00:38:26] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:38:27] Speaker A: Milwaukee brewers have like a pretty cool one. Angels. I feel like they're, their jersey is always like old school. I hate the Houston Astros Daughters have one, but I, I just don't.
I'll see what's different.
[00:38:39] Speaker C: Well, you brought us down a jersey rabbit hole right now, Rome, just because.
[00:38:44] Speaker A: Yeah, I just got really excited. I, I, you know, I don't own any Dodger gear.
I don't know what happened to it. I used to work for the team and I had so much stuff and I gave it all away.
[00:38:56] Speaker B: You got a cap or two, don't you?
[00:38:58] Speaker A: I don't have any, any current hats. No. Because all them got old and you know, Washington Times, I just got rid of them and I mean they just.
[00:39:07] Speaker B: Had, Was it Kobe Bryant bobblehead night?
[00:39:11] Speaker A: They did, yeah, yeah, I think I saw that last week. I'm not too crazy about that bobblehead. Anyways.
[00:39:16] Speaker B: But I heard the jerseys that gave away. Was it last year, the year before weren't very good either.
[00:39:20] Speaker A: The Kobe baseball jersey, I would have loved that one. That would have been.
[00:39:24] Speaker B: The quality wasn't very good.
[00:39:26] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, all the Dodger stuff that I used to get for free, I just give it away for quick for Christmas. Then my family started complaining, like, you just can't give away like the stuff you get from work.
Why not?
[00:39:38] Speaker B: Absolutely you can.
Absolutely. You can dodge your gear if you.
[00:39:43] Speaker C: Worked from the White Sox. And you're giving me like the White Sox bobbleheads that I just like got like, hey, that's. That's an A plus gift, dude.
[00:39:50] Speaker A: I would love bubble. I have a big collection of bobbleheads, but now it's all giant bobbleheads.
[00:39:57] Speaker B: You got the. You got the Anaheim Ducks one we got earlier this year when we went.
[00:40:01] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a cool one. I even got like an old Garrett Anderson Angels one.
[00:40:06] Speaker B: It's a good one.
[00:40:07] Speaker C: I got plenty of crappy Angels ones too. I got a Tory Hunter. I think I got like a Peter Borges maybe around here in the.
[00:40:16] Speaker B: In the garage. Gorgeous. Wow.
[00:40:17] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:40:18] Speaker C: I don't know.
[00:40:18] Speaker A: Maybe it was Toy Hunter's pretty cool.
[00:40:21] Speaker C: Toy Hunter's not bad. I got. I guess they had a Mike Trout MVP one over here too. You know, I know when I was up by you, Roman went to San Francisco. I got the. The late night Lamont Wade bobblehead for the Giants when I went to the Giants White Sox game a couple years ago.
[00:40:35] Speaker B: My way now. The Angels.
[00:40:36] Speaker A: Angels.
[00:40:37] Speaker B: Yeah. He's with the Angels now.
[00:40:38] Speaker A: Yeah. It's crazy.
Is that it?
Any last little shout outs for baseball?
Football.
[00:40:51] Speaker C: Baseball. I mean, Milwaukee brewers, hottest team in baseball, 12 straight.
My guy, Andrew Vaughn, who they traded for Aaron Savali in a bag of baseballs or something, is like the second coming of Hank Aaron over there in Milwaukee right now for.
For the Brewers. So, I mean, they're on a roll. That's probably the biggest story. The Padres, I mean, Aaron brought him up five straight. Dodgers lose four straight. Padres kind of. They went all in at the deadline, man. They went and got every piece available. And so they're trying to make a.
[00:41:24] Speaker A: Six game lead and now it's all gone. Now they're under half a game, I think.
[00:41:29] Speaker B: I think it was not six or nine games July 3rd. I mean, Dodgers been playing bad baseball for a while here. Kind of started with two months. It kind of started on. Once he got hurt on that slide. He's back. He's hitting the ball really well. But, yeah, I mean, Rome, I think we talked about it. The two teams, Seattle and the Padres, since going really, like, all in at the deadline, have been really, really hot right now.
And the Padres, we talked about that bullpen, man. I mean, they've. They've been lights out. I mean, it beat a really hot Boston team. Three in a row. They've beat him out there. Just swept. Now.
The Giants, who we talked about, are one in like 13 in their last 14 home games.
They've. They've just. Since. Since the All Star break, have been terrible. It's gonna be interesting, man. The nl, the National League is really, really deep league, man. A really, really deep league. The Mets are kind of falling apart.
[00:42:23] Speaker A: But Phillies, New York is fine again.
[00:42:27] Speaker B: I mean, yeah, the Braves have come back and rallied in two games against them. And just.
It's both New York teams, the Mets and the Yankees, they're both in trouble, maybe not making the playoffs. The Reds are hot, too, in Cincinnati. That's kind of a shocker. Terry Francona's done a great job year one there.
[00:42:43] Speaker A: He's a good.
He's a good manager.
[00:42:46] Speaker C: I. I don't think. And maybe we're just not. Maybe we are talking about it enough for. Just because baseball's lost it. You mentioned the Yankees kind of falling back here, but, like, still crazy that the Blue Jays are on top of this division right now. And I feel like we're not getting talked about at all.
[00:43:01] Speaker A: You're right. You're absolutely right.
You know, I haven't even looked at the standings. Yeah, I think the Blue Jays.
[00:43:08] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, the Blue jays are at 70 wins.
[00:43:10] Speaker A: They're starting to run away with it. Red Sox hanging on.
[00:43:13] Speaker B: Rangers have kind of hit a tough spill here.
Guardians, they traded guys away.
Royals, Angels just kind of hanging around.500. Baseball.
[00:43:25] Speaker A: That's impressive, actually. I think that's a good season for the Angels.
[00:43:29] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[00:43:30] Speaker A: I mean, three games under, considering what.
[00:43:34] Speaker B: What Ron Washington has been out for probably, what, the last six weeks, and when he left, they were about 500. I mean, yeah, the Angels.
I mean, if you're an Angels fan, you got to be happy with where they're at because they're their team, we would think would be probably about 20 games below.500. Really?
[00:43:53] Speaker A: Yeah.
Geez.
Yeah.
It looks like diamonds and Diamondbacks and Giants are kind of digging their own graves there. So it's just gonna be Padres, Dodgers fighting out for the rest of the year. Bruise separating from the Cubs. Cubs have been kind of col since the ulcer break as well.
[00:44:09] Speaker C: Yeah. Cubs have been pretty awful. I mean, they got ripped for being.
[00:44:14] Speaker A: Passive on the trade deadline.
[00:44:16] Speaker C: Yep. You know, and then the only guy they traded for got hurt right away, as he was not.
[00:44:24] Speaker B: That's Jason's guy, right?
[00:44:26] Speaker C: My guy, my Mike Soroka, man. I mean, he had a glimmer of hope with the Braves, Aaron's Braves. A couple years ago, White Sox traded him for. You know, they got five guys for Aaron. Bummer that were all just expiring contracts, did nothing for the White Sox, and then been getting blown up with the Nationals, but somehow went to a contender.
[00:44:44] Speaker B: Yeah, Soroka, that guy. That guy's gonna. Basically, Soroka is going to have more time on the IL stints than he is going to have wins during a season.
I would take that prop bet any day.
[00:44:54] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:44:55] Speaker C: Just. It's crazy what the Cubs are at right now. Like, I don't know, just the goodwill that team has in the city and, like, they're getting ripped for just being, like, so cheap on stuff right now. But, like, the. The unwilling and where they've been since they won that World Series, it's like, you know, I think the fan base allowed them to rebuild or they got rid of the guys and everything. But now you get this opportunity kind of in front of you, and you're letting you know you paid a bunch of money to steal the manager from Milwaukee.
So say we got the guy. We get Craig Counsel. You know, he's also Milwaukee. And now that same.
[00:45:28] Speaker A: They love stealing other executives, managers from other teams.
[00:45:31] Speaker C: Yep. And then it's smart strategy.
[00:45:33] Speaker B: If it works.
[00:45:34] Speaker C: It just ain't working, you know, just go in.
[00:45:36] Speaker A: Just go all in.
[00:45:38] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, agree. I mean, cardinals, St. Louis has been kind of a mess here the last, what, five, 10 years? But the brewers, like you said, Jason, they took their manager. We're kind of supposed to pit them in the coffin. But Milwaukee, surprisingly, has gotten better.
[00:45:53] Speaker C: I mean, insane run differential. This team just like, plus 159 more than, like, 70, 80 runs. More than anyone else in the National League, really. All just all in baseball. I think that in the American League, plus 93 for the Red Sox is the best. It's like.
[00:46:11] Speaker B: Yeah, but if you look at the brewers, man, what's weird is, I mean, Christian Yellow is just having a great year, but he's been hurt a lot. But they, you know, they got rid of Willie Thomas. They got rid of Burns, who was a good pitcher. They lose the manager and council.
They've gotten Rid of, you know, other guys. A lot of their good players are gone. Hater.
Hater is the best closer in baseball. Like all these guys are gone.
And now they're what, seven games up for the best record in the National League right now.
That's wild.
[00:46:40] Speaker A: Easy, man.
I don't know what to think about the rest of the year. I'm gonna try to catch some games, though.
[00:46:46] Speaker C: You do that. We got the clock's ticking until football starts here and then no one cares about baseball. And so we'll probably try to sneak that in, you know, maybe in the. The off day podcast or when you ever let me have a formula one hour here and we just talk baseball at the end because football is going to be dominating. That conversation. Had a little. Little preseason taste this last weekend. You know, watching.
Watching the Bears Dolphins with the Bears not playing any starters.
[00:47:13] Speaker A: Yeah.
Yeah. I don't know how we're going to balance it out. I'm looking forward to football. We'll. In the coming weeks, we'll do our football preview.
I was also talking with Aaron. I don't know how in depth you want to do it, Jason, but I like to come up with our own rankings for like quarterbacks, coaches, offense, defense, any other positional things you guys want to do.
[00:47:36] Speaker B: I. I told. I told Rome the only. The only list anybody cares about. Drums, coaches, hot seat corner. That's it. That's. That is it.
[00:47:43] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:47:44] Speaker B: There's going to be a warm, wet seat is hot.
[00:47:46] Speaker C: There's going to be the preseason version of the hottest seats right there.
[00:47:50] Speaker B: Yeah, I think there needs to be.
[00:47:52] Speaker A: Yeah. I did one last year. Yeah.
But yeah, if we can do like some F1, we'll still do some baseball.
[00:48:01] Speaker B: Yeah, there's plenty to talk about.
[00:48:03] Speaker A: Yeah, we won't talk about baseball. My Dodgers are losing, though. I can guarantee that.
We got time for that.
[00:48:08] Speaker B: I've been doing a lot of that the last six weeks.
[00:48:13] Speaker A: All right, cool. I'll do it.
We'll be back on next week and then f once the second half get started.
[00:48:22] Speaker B: Right.
[00:48:22] Speaker A: In a couple weeks.
[00:48:23] Speaker C: Still got a couple more weeks.
[00:48:24] Speaker B: Two weeks from Sunday, right?
[00:48:25] Speaker C: Yep. Italian gp.
[00:48:28] Speaker A: Cool. So let's gear up for a second half preview as well and we can get Andrew.
Andrew back on for that one. Yeah.
Source from the sofa. We are out.
