Behind-the-Scenes Discussions
00:00:59
Speaker
Did the pod before the pod. That's right. That is a key piece of our podcast. It's 15 minutes before we start recording where we just preview everything that we have going on. Maybe we should just do like a behind the scenes episode where we just like hit and record, but we don't change anything different. We just do our normal, like messing around the pod before the pod type of thing. I'm not getting cancelled. Got him.
00:01:27
Speaker
Maybe we should release it on the Patreon. Oh, yeah. this case shout out page running Maybe that way the pod before the pod gets released on the Patreon account.
Censorship and Marvel

Thank you to all of you who got to listen to my baby crying for a good bit of the episode off on on Friday. If you missed that one, go check it out. It was a really fun episode talking about some Marvel stuff ah today.
Diving into Olympic Events
00:02:12
Speaker
Olympics only come around once every couple years, you know, so we we're going to cover some stuff that's happening. We have a snake draft at the end talking about some Olympic events. So I'm looking forward to to all of those things.
00:02:25
Speaker
All of them. Yeah. It's been watching any Olympics, the Olympic content. Yeah. Morgan and Macy are very big fans of the, um, Olympic gymnastics team. Morgan Morgan's big fan of Simone Biles watch the documentary and all that. So it's on at my house a lot. Um, Macy is in the world of dance and wants to start doing gymnastics stuff. So we're, we're got a lot of gymnastics going on over here. She'll like run into our room and do a flip onto our bed and she'll yell Simone Biles. It's like the new Kobe. Yeah, exactly. something That's funny. I feel like I'm well prepared for this draft. ah YouTube does this thing where it's like a split screen and it's like four different boxes like what they do for and NFL or NBA. ah So all of a sudden I'll have swimming, gymnastics, and then I'll just have like the most random like
00:03:25
Speaker
table tennis and like shooting on or canoeing or some type of random. So I've been watching all the the random ones as well, which we'll talk about, I'm sure in the near future, but then just throwing it on because on a random like Sunday morning, I'm like, what am I supposed to watch? I just throw, I just throw that on. So there you go. Yeah. The women's US s team is playing right now. Yeah, actually on this Sunday kind of afternoon. So that's pretty cool. Uh, I've been watching a good bit
Olympic Performances and Highlights
00:03:58
Speaker
of it as well. I, I was like the summer Olympics. I've, yesterday I watched a good bit of track and field and I was like, Zach had some takes. I do have some takes. Uh, you, you guys underperformed. There was a couple that we were highly favored in that we, that we ended up dropping the mixed four by 400 relay team that set the world record loss to the Netherlands, uh, the next day in the finals, which the Netherlands hit like the second best time of all time.
00:04:26
Speaker
and kind of put on a miraculous performance there at the end. So you can't fault them too much, but then also Sha'Carri Richardson, who was the big favorite in the 100 meter. ah She's actually in college, I think. I think she runs for LSU. Is that right? That sounds right. And she was a big favorite in the 100 meter, also got beat out by someone from St. Lucia, which is pretty cool. I think I've been in St. Lucia on a cruise before. They, it was the first ever medal by St Lucia. They're a country of like 280,000 people. Uh, and to have an Olympic gold medal is crazy. I mean, it's like, I'm trying to think of a context for that. There's like 30, 33 million just in New York city alone. Right. We're a country of 280,000 to produce an Olympic athlete. Gwen's gold is pretty cool. Shout out to St Lucia.
00:05:23
Speaker
taking away U.S.'s gold dreams once again. Still losing to China. No shout out. No shout out. At least it wasn't China or something like that. So. True. True. And listen, when Zach was dogging ah USA, I made a good point of, I did a preview at the very beginning before the Olympics started of the over, under, under total gold medal, or not medals, gold medals, but total medals. And it was like in the forties. You guys remember exactly. I think it was like 42 was the over under. Was it really 39? Okay. We hit the, we hit the over in seven days. We are currently at 64. I'm sure this will change when you're hearing on a Monday. So we are still not in the lead for gold medals. That is China, but we are second in gold with 14. They have 18. We'll get there. As you were listening, uh, probably different.
00:06:20
Speaker
They have 18. Oh no, they won more. They had 16 yesterday. Oh, this is a disaster. We've got to catch up. I will say the, the one sport that did not disappoint easy dub shot put. You guys see those guys are some of the most like, cause you know, they're not juicing or anything. You know, they're not on steroids. They are just because they get tested all the time. They are humongous. Those guys are. The US shot put people are just the most some of the largest humans I've seen that are Not on steroids ah pay mani and interviewed though the winner. I forget his name. Sorry everybody if you could find out everybody yeah um He was like, have you are you interested in football? We could we could get you on a field and he was like I played quarterback and they showed him when he was like in high school time to now and that he was like, no, I wasn't talking quarterback. I was talking like offensive defensive line because he is huge and
00:07:17
Speaker
But um I will say another pretty funny story. There was a one of the guys from the U.S. beach volleyball team used to play in the NBA. He was in the NBA for a couple of seasons, and basically it was like he could go to the G League and can or go with like Europe and continue playing, or he could start pursuing volleyball where he's using a lot of his jumping and some of the similar skill sets than he did. And now he's in the Olympics. So show us that guy. Shout out. Just James. It's his name. is His name is Bronnie James. Ryan Krauser was the shot put winner at six, seven, 320 pounds. Pause. Yeah, it's a big guy. And he looks at it, too. His arms are just massive. And that they the concrete pad was like it was pouring rain. And so it was just slick like ice and he they were all sliding all over it.
00:08:17
Speaker
it It's pretty entertaining. U.S. got gold and bronze and shot put, I think. Pretty good stuff. He's a Arkansas assistant coach. For what? I believe so, yeah. Track and field program. Yeah, a lot of these they have like jobs on the sides because it just this doesn't pay enough just to have this as their full on job. So pretty interesting. I like to learn about that
Athletes Beyond Sports
00:08:46
Speaker
as well. So yeah, for sure. I think that it is, it is wild how some of them like the, all of our team USA basketball team is like multi-millionaire, just ultra rich alongside some of our gymnasts or pole vaulters or bad mitten. Yeah. Bad mitten. He were just pretty, pretty much every day. People probably have second jobs or are just coaches.
00:09:13
Speaker
And. Our same in the same Olympics. Pretty crazy. The guy that was going viral that he had like glasses kind of nerdy, but he's a gymnast that won bronze for the first time or like US hasn't won a medal and gym and gymnast. I'm like forever. Yeah. But he looks like an average guy until obviously he like took a shirt off and then you can tell.
00:09:46
Speaker
index No idea what you're talking about. That's the average guys. My favorite story of these Olympics so far are of the guy who almost finished his pole vault. I'm just kidding. We're not talking about that guy. Look it up if you don't know what I'm talking about. Maybe don't look it up. But the other actual favorite story was the Turkish shooter. Yep. I was going to bring that up. One of my one of the funniest stories, he he is kind of taking this. So if you're not familiar, you should look this guy up and just watch him because it's very funny. He.
00:10:25
Speaker
is going so in the shooting competition that a lot of them have these special lenses on to help them focus on the target because it's it's so precise. They're trying to hit these targets down to like the millimeter and the point differential is crazy depending on how close you are. all the accuracy, so they're using all these different things. And he just rolls up and he has a hand in his pocket and he has he just has his regular glasses on. He just rolls up and just starts shooting. And he went silver, silver. So he just looks so casual compared to everyone else.
00:10:56
Speaker
And it was already 45, 45 years old gray hair is like, it was very funny on the internet to talk, hearing people talk about him. Like maybe he's like a hit man in Turkey, uh, or someone, they just called him up for this for the Olympics. Uh, because if and so he only got second, so he didn't draw too much attention to himself. He didn't want to win gold. You know, yeah there's a lot of very funny things going around about him, but he's, there was a rumor that, I got debunked, I think, but there was a rumor that there was a ah press conference with him and he he shouted out his ex-wife and told her to give him his dog back. Did you hear that? But then I know that I don't think it actually happened, but it was very funny.
00:11:41
Speaker
um There, he also posted a picture of him and with his cat like on his shoulder. And it's like, what do you think happens to that cat? there is This guy's going to go to killing spree. Like a John Wayne situation. yeah Oh, it's so funny. But that's that's probably my favorite story of the Olympics so far. It's been a fun week just knowing that there's, ah knowing there's stuff going on during the day that you can just tune on, tune in, and kind of watch if you got some free time or during lunch or whatever. You can watch some, watch some events happen. It's fun.
00:12:17
Speaker
Agreed. Okay. I know we're going to do some Olympic talk later. We're going to do a draft. Do we do we want to do our some press releases first? Want to get some news out of the way? Food for thought? Let's do it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Okay.
Early Seasonal Food Trends
00:12:33
Speaker
what Do we want to do food for thought first? I'm down. ten i don i dont I don't have a press release, but I do have food for thought. Okay. Food for thought. Let's hit it. This is more of a, in general, this is me and my thoughts on food in America. And I just want to know what we're doing. What are we doing? We got pumpkin spice everywhere. Shout out our guy, Snack was that he's announced all the pumpkin spice stuff that's coming as of August 1st. So it's already here, but we've got, we've got pumpkin spice
00:13:04
Speaker
Pillsbury Doughboy products running around we've got creamer in the coffee aisle back like Why why why do we have pumpkin spot? It's still a hundred degrees outside Save it. Yeah, I'm saying it's a Halloween I'll let like it's I don't like any of it anyway, so I'm never gonna eat it I'll let you enjoy your pumpkin spice in the right time frame. There's also Halloween candy starting to come into grocery stores. Yeah, I know. It's crazy. What are we doing? Can we not enjoy the season we're in? Enjoy summer. You should be selling water balloons and like water guns and popsicles.
00:13:43
Speaker
Bomb pops are fine bomb pops not from maybe we should spice flavored bomb pops We should be blaming america for this because obviously they would not be putting it out soon if they people weren't buying it So this this is on you the people there seems to be someone on us though that has Historically not very high on the pumpkins. not Very high on the pumpkins, but I've never I've never said this early. I was changing Listen food for thought this time last year. Someone was hyping up some pumpkins. I was not hyping it up. I just brought it to the the people i speaking of ah You brought it up. You brought it up I wanted to go ahead and chime in Starbucks is dropping their fall menu on August 22nd. What are we doing?
00:14:26
Speaker
it does include the pumpkin spice latte pumpkin cream cold brew there's two new ones i'm not going to go through all of them but the iced apple crisp cream chai uh you had me until the chai part yes go ahead I just, we're getting pumped we're getting the fall menu at Starbucks before football is back. Last time I checked, everyone says football is fall, right? That's that's what we're doing. we're We're getting pumpkin spice two weeks before I see NFL kickoff. What is happening? Should we send this into Congress and and have this be made as well? Isn't that what they're for? like I don't know what else they do. like Should we start writing in our congressmen and women? like
00:15:04
Speaker
We need to stop this. This is egregious. I know there's a lot going on right now, but this is the biggest problem in our nation. The biggest. Number one, someone much should write put it on put it out on their ballot. They'd get my vote. Yeah. lets America. We need to put a timeline set on celebrating holidays and stores and stick to it. Make seasons great again, like let's stick to the season. We're not even there yet and I know I'm already be mad at people skipping over Thanksgiving. We're going to start seeing Christmas stuff right after Halloween. I'm going to get mad about it.
00:15:38
Speaker
Pre-traded. We almost jumped the gun. Yeah, we jumped the gun on every ah like holiday season. Yeah, to be honest. We can't even enjoy the one that we're in. ah Speaking of what things did you have anything else to that or did you just want to talk about pumpkin spice?
Thanksgiving and New Flavors
00:15:56
Speaker
Fun fact, but Thanksgiving might be the biggest holiday in our house because I think ah Tatum's like do that week. So Thanksgiving is back. It is back. Well, Thanksgiving may be running around. Speaking of fall flavors and pumpkin spice, I'm just kidding. It's not pumpkin spice, but honey bunches of oats. I actually like this cereal. What's it what's your old's take on honey bunches of oats? I'm a big fan. I like it. Yeah, I think it's good. And you can kind of say that it's healthy, so I'm like, hey, I'm here for it. It feels a little healthier, but maybe not. New fall flavor. It's not pumpkin spice. It is salted caramel.
00:16:34
Speaker
which like uh tens likes to say caramel that's how you pronounce it the salt the honey bunches of ah are we in or out on the salted caramel for everybody that can uh not see this because we're listening to a pod i'm throwing it up here on the on the screen i need some salted caramel honey bunches of oats We need, we actually need to do a poll on if it's car more caramel or caramel. I don't know how you put that on writing, but we need to figure it out. Orange dream sickle, honey bunches of it. now or Send that in. You know what?
Sonic's New Menu Critique
00:17:08
Speaker
We've, we've sent stuff in during the pod and we've actually got hit. So we might have to just send this as a request to them. Oh, tens is literally doing it right now. I'm headed there.
00:17:20
Speaker
but Okay, so while he's doing that, and we're going to get make sure that we get credit for this, we want 3% of the share, maybe more than that actually, we just came up with that. date Okay, Sonic has a new burger on the menu. i'm ah Pulling a little snack. Uh, I didn't get this from him. He might have already put this out, but i'm pulling a little snack with zack over here Uh breaking some food news. It's already out. It came out july 29th And it is sonic is getting into the smashburger game
00:17:51
Speaker
Um, we've already seen their new crinkle fries. They have dropped a um Value menu as we the 199 value menu, which we have seen across the board. I feel like everybody is now noticing that america But also the world is fed up with how high fast food prices are and everybody's throwing out the value menus so the new smash burger Let's see, I did find the description somewhere, but it looks like they're even going to do a triple smasher, which will have three patties to it. um But here is the picture. So it's basically two patties with two layers of cheese and pickles and a sauce. And then you can also do the triple, but i mean that is already out. So if you're a smash burger,
00:18:40
Speaker
Fan pickles and onions so if you're not if you're not a onion fan is starting at 649 seems kind of high it's all I'm gonna say about that, but I Don't I don't know that doesn't say that is combo. I hope it is But it's 49 for a smash burger. Yeah, so I will not be getting that i'm just gonna say right now if it's that prize by itself I'm not getting that because also smash burgers are like thinner patties. So I feel like it's not that much food It's just like a different I could be wrong How do you guys feel about the ah sonic food menu? I feel like sonic is like 80 drinks 20 food
00:19:19
Speaker
I every once in a while I'll get a craving for like a chili dog and we don't really have anywhere in cookfield that's like good for a chili dog, so I'll hit it up. And then after about two bites, I'm like, oh yeah, this kind of sucks. I like their breakfast stuff. Their breakfast stuff's good, but I don't really like any of their burgers. Macy loves their popcorn chicken, which sucks because it's really expensive. It is expensive. Everything. That's my biggest thing about it. The food is expensive. I really like tater tots, and I like the fact that they have tater tots.
00:19:52
Speaker
But their food is super expensive for what it is, I feel like. I agree. So high school and college me and probably still Naomi would either do the a happy hour, which is like two to four half price drinks or the morning drink stop and only get drinks like that. Maybe when they used to back in the day when we were a country do the 50 cent corn dogs, I would do those. but that was like cheap me like nope I just want my dollar large like blue coconut slush and a 50 cent corn dog like that's what I didn't get any other food there because it it is very hot and it's it's decent I would pay the money if I was like wow this is the best burger I've ever had but yeah
00:20:30
Speaker
Um, my family, we used to do on Tuesdays after five, they did five burgers for $5, which is the crazy, probably one of the craziest deals of all time. Yeah. Do you remember that tens? You were shaking your head. Yeah. um Yeah. My family did that on two. We always got excited for Tuesdays. That's awesome. Five by himself. Not surprised. Who ate the fifth burger, Mason? Oh, wait, you know, you have, I guess you had, Your sister, I always forget that you have many sisters. Yeah. So it was, a yeah, there's an one for each. Yeah. For everybody. So that's a pretty good deal. It is. And then we usually did, we didn't buy the fries there because the fries, that's how they got you. Then you get extra stuff. Like the fries cost more than the burger, which is funny. So we just had like the frozen bag of fries that we would throw in the, the, that was like a way of doing it. Mm. That's a good idea. We talked about checkers before in here. Mm.
00:21:24
Speaker
i'm not Yeah, I do. I sometimes they have the they do have like the soft pretzel now there. Yeah, I am a pretzel fan. Dairy Queen also got into that game as well. Have you tried the pretzel from subway? The like footlong? Yeah, I've tried it. haven't sure How they? ah The pretzel is very dry. True. Tough break. True. True. Sometimes I have to pull off sometimes. Sometimes I'll just go to Sam's Club and get a pretzel. See, I always love Costco does not have pretzels. Mm hmm. That's an email Costco right now until the intense get on that real quick. on the I'm just kidding. I think it's I'm just kidding. Change your old business model. I know that's the one thing that you're like, we're not changing is our food stuff, but.
00:22:16
Speaker
Yeah. Cool. I was just kidding, but you fun thanks about the ad actually on if you, if you have the app for Sonic, it's 50% off drinks all the time. Yeah. They're, they're app solid. They do. They do try to do some promotions and like get some cheaper. So like the 50 cent corn dogs, they run those kinds of things every once in a while. So their app's worth it. forgot about that doing Saving us money. That's right. OK, that was it on my food for thought. Zacharoonie. I've got two good
Innovative Food Products
00:22:50
Speaker
ones. Oh, not really. First one. Oh, um a company released called Boost Noodle. Mm. Caffeinated ramen in a pouch. It kind of looks you know that the the protein shakes that come in the little like paper pouches with like the nozzle and stuff. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, it's like that.
00:23:14
Speaker
Uh, so apparently you're like heated up and you eat ramen out of it. So it sounds pretty terrible, but it's a thing. It's, it's, it's, it's, they're marketing it towards gamers, especially apparently. So of course, these gamers caffeine ramen while you're gaming, you don't have time to go make any, get some coffee. You can just take it both at the same time. We should do this on the pod. We should all each get one and do this while we're recording the pod. Hmm. I like it. Or. i I agree. How much? I wonder how much caffeine's in one. I don't even know if it's like released yet. I need to look into it more. I just saw the headline. Maybe he's like the headline to it. I am a headline. merchant He just reads the headline. And then I asked the follow up question. He's like, I don't know. I didn't read past that. This is not this press release, not does that for followers?
00:24:13
Speaker
It says. The product comes in a 16 millimeter pouch and cut noodles as well as roast pork and bamboo shoots mixed with a jelly like rich seafood and pork bone soup. Mmm. That sounds horrible. I think I'm good on that, but could be something other people like. Okay. My second, my second one here is chilies. ah First of all, they were they made a post that was responding to a McDonald's Ad or a apparently McDonald's is testing out the big arch a new burger set to rival the Big Mac. Oh Head on on Twitter more bread So in response chilies the official chilies account Responded back boring. We just launched Nashville hot fried mozzarella. See you soon, baby
00:25:10
Speaker
ah to Chili's Twitter account. And so it looks very good. It's their mozzarella stick, but it's like a big mozzarella kind of and then it's breaded and it's Nashville hot flavored. I could eat it. I would try it without a doubt. So can I draft that in my in my draft or? Yeah, you can't draft that 100 percent. That's what if it's what if it's with two other items like chicken tenders and okay we agreed never to talk about this again. Well, too bad.
00:25:47
Speaker
Yeah, it does look very good, though, not really. And so I'm going to try it. I eat that. No, I don't think you could eat it, Mason. o It's a little red. Because of Nashville hot. Oh. How do you guys feel about Nashville hot flavor? It's another very trendy flavor. little bit do you done When it's done right, it's very good. But if you do it wrong, it's burnt oil. so like it's not natural hot is is oil that you make with like a red pillow red pepper chili flakes and um things like that. So paprika and other seasonings. So it's not like a sauce that is like just spicy. It's just, it's hot. But when it's done bad, it's burnt. Like if you burn the grease before you add all that stuff into it, it'll make your sandwich terrible. Mm-hmm. Risky. Tough break. I've made it. I think that's a natural hot.
00:26:45
Speaker
I feel like I've but i'm always been scared to make it at home because I'm afraid I'm just going to jack it up. It's going to taste horrible. I feel like it's kind of tricky. is it's It's a little hard. You got to nail it because it's either good or it's bad. Like there's no like in between where it's like, Oh, that was just okay. It's it's fine. I mean, I've either been like, Oh wow, well that was really good. Or, Oh, I could tell they burnt that oil before they mixed it. um Okay. Well, there's your food for thought. Do we have some press releases then too? I can kick off press releases here. I've got four just two of them. um And they're pretty, they're pretty short and sweet. ah Number one.
Entertainment Highlights: Tom Cruise and Movies
00:27:21
Speaker
Apparently Tom Cruise is going to do a stunt to end the Paris Olympics. the leaked I don't know that he's going to rappel down from like this tall building carrying an Olympic flag and skydive off of onto the Hollywood sign.
00:27:40
Speaker
Like he's going to, it's going to be like a video part of it, if part of it's going to be live. Tenz is not a fan of the Tom Cruise now. I'm over Tom Cruise. What a take. I love him. He's down on Tom Cruise as a whole. I'm over him and all his own stunts. We get it. We get it. Wow, we get it. Name me a movie he's been in that was great in the last 10 years. Top Gun.
00:28:09
Speaker
all of the Mission Impossible movies. Not in there. Those are all bad. You don't like Mission Impossible? They're the same movie over and over again. Mission Impossible movies are very good. can we Can we just stop here for a second? If I would have said that, I would have got roasted for days. Tinsley's going to be able to get away with this, and I don't know how we're going to allow this. This is a bad take. Mason, do you like Mission Impossible movies? Yes, and the Top Gun Mavericks, one of my top movies. There you go. Me and Mason are on board, 10s bad take. It's nice to be on the other side of this. I don't think I ever have been before. It's usually me with the bad take and you two roasting me for it. Listen, you two are always welcome to team up on me and tell me my take is bad as well. We all have bad takes every now and then. It's fine. It's fine.
00:28:55
Speaker
Uh, and they're just more often than the others. good I don't know. What do you, what would you like about Tom Cruise? You just tired of his face or you just a little bit of that. Yeah. okay and No, I just felt all the mission impossible movies are the same to me. They fall into the fast and furious mold of it's the same way. Fast and furious though. I kind of see that. I'm not going to hate that. Are they way better? They're not that because the stunts are way more interesting. It's not just like, let's jump this car off this thing. Let's, Rob this place. Tom Cruise is significantly better actor than all of the people in the Fast and Furious franchise. Take that back. I will not. I'll say it by that take. The Mission Impossible movies like don't take themselves too seriously, which is Fast and Furious don't either. But I was going to say, wait a minute. The conspiracy spy thing I just find more interesting than the like, let's jump off this thing with the car. A lot of people like Fast and Furious, so.
00:29:55
Speaker
If you like those movies, that's good. But Mission Impossible, I've always been a pretty big fan of. I just always feel like I know what's happening. Like 10 minutes in the movie, I'm like, all right, so that's the bad guy. This person's good. Like, I don't know. I can just predict the whole thing. And it's normally like, yeah, I was pretty right. You can wear each other's faces and stuff. And they always come up with all the cool new spy gear and things like that. Climb on buildings. It's a bad take, but everyone's got that one actor that they're just not a fan of that everybody else loves. And that's my guy, Tom Cruise. How do you guys feel about Colin Powell? See you next time, Cruise.
00:30:36
Speaker
i'm not silence I'm not even... What has he done other than just be attractive? He's the new middle-aged attractive guy everyone likes for some reason. Is he middle-aged? He's probably like 40. Don't do that to us. i'm confused So I'm 10 years away from being middle-aged. I don't think he's 40. No way. Let's look it up. Let's all guess. only We all had a machine that could look stuff up. He is. I'm going to say 38. 36. That was close. 1988. Glenn Powell. I like him. I don't know.
00:31:13
Speaker
What has he been in? Top Gun Maverick. Maybe he doesn't hate that movie. I don't like that movie that much. Swisters. He was in Hitman, which I watched on Netflix. I also watched it. He was. That's good. That's okay. Anyone but you pretty recently. He's been, he's been all this stuff. Oh, successful movie that was. Anyone but you. He was in Hidden Figures.
00:31:36
Speaker
Oh, yeah, he was the astronaut that was supportive of it all. He was in a Dark Knight Rises. It was. Bane slammed his head into a computer. That's true. I didn't even know that. Good memory. Maybe he is a huge Glenn Powell fan. He's over here. No, I saw a video. You remember the 25 seconds of him in that movie. I saw someone was talking about Tom Hardy is like how he method acts. And he's like, yeah, ah he was supposed to just come over and like push me. But he actually just came over and slammed my head into the computer and everybody laughed. He said, All right, let's run that one again. That was good. If you're tired of Gloom Pal, I'm sorry, but you're gonna see more of him. It is what it is.
00:32:22
Speaker
He is the next big guy. He's the next guy up for sure. wow i don't know in hollywood Okay. That was, oh, I have one more take. Sorry.
College Football: Prices and Games
00:32:37
Speaker
My other, uh, my other press release for this week is, um, They dropped some average. I saw, I saw a thing. It was like all the average ticket prices for college football so far, like the biggest games that had the highest ticket. This is interesting. I'm ready. Um, I'm gonna, we're gonna play the guessing game and see if you guys can get any of them.
00:33:04
Speaker
I know you guys probably aren't super familiar with the schedule so far for all of college football, but. Oh, these are specific games. Correct. Which games on the schedule are have the highest average ticket price. Did you say Texas and Oklahoma play each other? They do. That's number four. That always is a big one, but Texas, Oklahoma is an ACC game now. $445. I bet you a Tennessee game is on there. There are three of them. In fact, often Tennessee plays Florida and Bama back to back in Newland. Those are both on the list, $340 and $250. And that's true. If you had taken master, I was looking yesterday and it's yeah. And then Tennessee at Georgia, $350 average. UT and Vandy's not on there. I'm i'm shocked. The Vandy prices are actually always higher than they should be because Tennessee fans. It's like that way you get the best in middle Tennessee just is cheaper than going to Newland. So.
00:34:02
Speaker
You get to see Tennessee play. Number one, Texas, Texas A and&M. They haven't played in a couple of seasons. and they're Yeah, they used to be big rivals. Yeah. $625 average. Shoo, we.
00:34:17
Speaker
Georgia Bama. We have Army Navy. $527. What are we doing with that? That's crazy. Georgia, Bama. I believe is on the list. I'm looking for it. Yeah. $300. A lot of Texas games, um, Texas, Michigan, they play in the pre in the, uh, before conference play $469 Michigan, Ohio state, Michigan, Ohio state. I'm confident is on this list. Hang on. I'm trying to search through it as we go. Oregon, Ohio state is on the list for sure. That's a big time, big 10 game now. Um,
00:35:01
Speaker
Notre Dame, Texas A&M. there So Florida also plays Florida State this year. That one's $300 average price. Weirdest one on the list is Indiana Northwestern. $275, apparently. I wonder if there are plenty. Is that a Wrigley? Maybe. That might make sense. I don't know. Northwestern plays like one game a year. That's a weird one.
00:35:33
Speaker
Yep, but that is my other press release for today.
Madden NFL Game Insights
00:35:37
Speaker
A bonus one is that ah college football 25, the game has made like, estimated like $500 million so far. They have blown past with the goals that they made for themselves. Apparently, I guess there's some sources on the inside that said if they made $150 million, dollars they would feel really good about that. And they've apparently made $500 million. Congratulations. An overwhelming success to everyone involved. So good great work out there. I'm not shocked whatsoever.
00:36:08
Speaker
OK, so that's a good transition there, Zach, because ah speaking of we took when we talked about the NCAA game, we've also slightly bashed Madden. ah They need to pick up the pace if they're going to keep up with the hype of NCAA. So every single year, the ratings come out of the players, the teams. So I thought it'd be fun to break down the the Madden rankings. For the first time since 2001, no defensive player is in the 99 club with Aaron Donald retiring last season. He would have probably been the only one, so that's pretty wild. Who's the highest defensive rated? We will do that. Okay, sorry.
00:36:57
Speaker
I'll look at your segment. No, no, you're good. So some of the 99 overall club you want. This won't be a surprise to you. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, Christian McCaffrey, Trent Williams, Tyreek Hill. um Some of these top rookies. What's the take? What we putting Trent Williams in the 99 club for? like He's great. He's one of the best left tackles ever. But like the 99 club used to mean something. Oh, he's taken a slight at the 99 club. All right. you to mom Rookies. Can we, can we guess the top overall rookie? There's a tie. Sorry. Between two. Um, Malik neighbors. No, no. Oh, he's not even on this list.
00:37:47
Speaker
Wow. malic first or second or I guess Marvin Harrison Jr. Marvin Harrison's number one, Joe Alt is tied, so they're both tied 79 overall. Rookies are not getting the... Where's Caleb Williams? I'll have to look and see what his overall is. He's on else list of he's over So he's not 78 or he would have been on this list because the 79 and 78 78 is Brock Bowers and a couple offensive line offensive tackles Dallas Turner JC lanth Lantham from the Titans 78 so I think I said that correct. So um Yeah, interesting stuff. I don't see maybe we can get to that a top duos
00:38:31
Speaker
I already said it my homes and Kelsey's 99 Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews 98 94 to 88 Tyree kill 99 So I guess they're like taking the two overalls and like combine them together together Joe Burrow 93 Jamar chase 93 Dak Prescott Prescott 90 CD lamb 96 So those are the top ah so Fastest player. I want you all to take some jabs at what's the fastest speed player overall rankings? Hi rekill 99. Yep What about the different Texas they just got drafted by the Chiefs like Xavier worthy 98 Which is kind of a given for him getting the fastest 40 time Oh He's not on this list
00:39:19
Speaker
He's not in Williams. No, that's jaylen Jalen Jalen waddle and reek woolen wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks. turry he seven yeah Yeah. Okay. He's very fast. Strongest players. Tinsley already took a slight at Trent and Williams, but he had a 98 on strength. Derek Brown, Vida via for the bucks. Uh, Jeffrey Simmons. Yeah. Thank you. Uh, for the Titans and Tyler Smith ah offensive tackle for the Cowboys. so The ah strongest quarterback. Do you want to take a guess?
00:39:57
Speaker
um Strongest quarterback. Strongest. so strong is deep right So it's a deep pass. Yeah. on string Deep pass. drum your boy, Josh Allen 10s. And then Patrick Mahomes, Joe Milton the third, which has been getting a little bit of controversy in the training camp here. Yeah. Joe, Joe, Joe Milton is one of the greatest practice players that's ever lived. He, he got two big time college universities to fall in love with him and let him be a starter. And then now he's going to have an NFL team who's like, wow, he's just performing really well.
00:40:33
Speaker
Should we saw this coming though with a with the strength? I should have like i told them I've been getting into some sports card stuff, should have invested in some Joe Milton stuff because I should have saw this coming with a strength. We saw it in ah the combine, so I should have saw this coming with his... Anyways, Justin Herbert and Anthony Richardson, I didn't know his arm strength was that. So top offenses, and then we'll we'll kind of wrap it up, offenses, defenses, and then overall. Offenses, ah the Chiefs at 92, Ravens 91, Eagles 90, 49ers 89, Bengals 89, any surprises there? The Jags are not in that list, 10s. No comment.
00:41:12
Speaker
I'm gonna give I'm gonna give tinsley two minutes to give to give us jaguars Madden. Well, let me finish top defenses 49ers 92 Ravens 90 Steelers 90 dolphins 89 Browns 88 No jags on that list and then top overall 49ers 92 Chiefs 92 Ravens 91 Dolphins 89 I'm surprised that dolphins are getting us much high and then the Cowboys and Lions are tied at 88 and And that is my rankings list. Tinsley, take the floor.
00:41:44
Speaker
No, I just, uh, Trevor being 78 is a disaster. That is a guy who was playing at a very high level before he sustained three different injuries that affected his last five games of the year. Sorry that he decided to play through an AC joint sprain, uh, an MCL sprain and played one game, half of a game with a concussion. Sorry. Sorry, Madden. That wasn't good enough for you. Um, So that's whatever and then ah Josh Josh Heinz Allen only being ranked 91 when he was second in the league in sacks last year Sorry, that's just that's egregious It's uncalled for Trayvon Walker our other defensive end who had ten and a half sacks last year was like what was he like a 75 like what are we doing? Those are my main three gripes
00:42:38
Speaker
Main three. Can you give us a can you give us Calvin Ridley numbers really fast? I'm just curious. Oh, yeah. Go ahead. Like his Madden ranking. Let me know what his catch rating is. That's what I want to know.
00:42:52
Speaker
Yeah, I'm looking it up right now. Should be wild how um I feel like the Jags are being very undervalued this offseason. I love to have a lot of hype going into last season. You know who we were last season? We were the Texans of this year. We won the 83. On catching? No, 83 overall. um That's fair for Calvin. Catching to 86. That's why way too high. It should be about a 79.
00:43:23
Speaker
Oh, it's funny. Nobody, I know the Jags. So the Jags won the division the year before last summer. This time the Jags were very hyped up. Everyone talked about us on ESPN being some dark horse team that everyone should look out for. And we were eight and three and had did well and then injuries happened. You know, who's talked about like that now is the Houston Texans have fun with the first place schedule. It's really hard when you have to go play teams. The chiefs, the other division winners, the 49, the Ravens, like you're going to have to go play those teams. You don't get to play the Panthers and the Saints and the bad teams anymore. yeah Do you realize, do you realize what just happened? Zach knows what he's doing. He was like, he's like throw, poke in the bear a little bit. He's like, let me just get them hyped up. this like kind I like to give tens. He, it's not like this is not normal. we We hear this all the time is these are talking points that have been.
00:44:13
Speaker
Echoed many times through text messages and things. So it's just I like to get like 10 skitties. It is takes off for a little bit. But the world I'm trying to check to segment. I'm not doing it every every episode. I'm not talking about the Jags every every episode. ah That was two minutes. But yeah, no, I agree. I think we're being slept on. I like it better that way. I don't want everybody hyping us up. I think we read our press clippings a little too much last year and thought we were better than we were both on board. That's right. Plenty of bulletin board material this year. Mason, I'm sorry for stealing your segment there. I need to be mad about Trevor Lawrence's number. That's why I wanted to give him give him his time. 778. What a joke. How do you guys feel about the the Cowboys? They're pretty highly ranked, right? 88? They were, yeah, up there. I was shocked.
00:45:06
Speaker
They're one of those great teams for the game, my regular season. Yeah. A team that all Madden is, do you put up a lot of stats? Then you'll be good in Madden. That's why the dolphins are really good on there too. Interesting. I feel like a lot of times that I'm playing Madden or college football, I like to just pick a team with a, with a quarterback that can run. So I can just like, that's always, I always go ahead. Yeah. So I think that makes sense. Yeah. It's less fun if you have a quarter by super slow, just can get sacked out all the time. Yeah.
00:45:42
Speaker
Mason, are you mad? Are you going to play the new Madden game? um I keep telling myself I'm not. I think I'm going to focus on trying to get the new Xbox and and play NCAA before, i just because I feel like Madden just disappoints me every single time. So why why do that? If I get bored with NCAA, which I don't think I will, but if I ever did, then maybe I'd go back to Madden. Nothing beats because we're, we're so tuned in to fancy football. I do and embedding and just watching NFL in general. I like to play as those teams, but it's just not, the game's just been disappointing itself. So it's got a lot of, a lot of people don't like it. Yeah. Madden has gone downhill for a lot of people for sure. I'm a big Madden hater.
00:46:29
Speaker
It's because they don't change anything. So you're just buying the new game just to have your, the players change from different teams. So it's just like the same thing. So and so um that's all I got to say about that, but I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready for this draft. I'm ready.
Olympic Event Draft
00:46:42
Speaker
I'm ready to go. He's ready. I'm ready. The fire fired up Mason for a draft. That's exactly right. I hope you've ah pulled the wheel up 10 minutes ago to get it. Get it. Hey, we got it right. We got we got it all up. It's good. OK, we do have a draft, everyone. We're drafting Olympics, the Olympic events. um I'm trying to remember every Olympic event that we are drafting here.
00:47:14
Speaker
I got it pulled up. You want me to do it? Yeah. What do you got? Okay. So we're going to do four different categories and it looks like five. Five categories. Oh, did I miss over one? Okay. So we're going to do, oh, five. Yes. Most random Olympic game. The most entertaining to watch. Best chance of sneaking into Zach. You want to clarify what that means? That's a good question. This is kind of a wild card. I think it's, ah Every Olympic event in my brain, I'm like could like, how long would I last doing this event before everyone knew I just do not belong here? yeah like how Like how long would it take for people to for me to end up on Twitter as like, what is this guy doing in this event? So it's basically like, which do you have the best chance of just sneaking through and not becoming a same on Twitter? I like it. And then Lee's entertaining to watch and one event you like to see added?
00:48:13
Speaker
Hmm. So. Yeah. I like these categories. We were we were cooking and we did this like three days ago, so that shows how prepared we were. Yeah, we're we're playing the head here. OK, OK. So we'll the wheel was not playing to head the wheel. No, the wheel is always on. on He's on lock. Don't you worry about that? Do you want one on one here? Do you want? I don't think I want one on one. OK, we'll we'll time. OK, I think I do. First up.
00:48:46
Speaker
Zach. Zach. Ta-da. Here we go. Second. Mason. All right. And on the turn. Ten said he won a one to one and now he gets three. Last time I ever expressed what I went to the wheel. Okay. Um, I think I'm going.
00:49:13
Speaker
How specific do we need to be? Do we need to classify men's versus women's? I think if you drive one, you get both of them. Okay. I am going to go with most entertaining to watch. I knew it. I think I'm going with the overall gymnastics. Okay.
00:49:40
Speaker
That's not what I thought he was gonna do. What if I have that on a different line? Okay, so if you can't use it, so I know that the overall it is it's a little bit of because you get you a little bit of everything So if you wanted an individual event, I think that this fair Because you do get it there is a gold there is a medal for overall But I know it I don't want to eliminate every other gymnastics discipline because that's feels like a lot. I just see how I sticky this gets. I'm going with the team final where you get multiple competitors. It's like this. You are the overall team champion. I watched it this year. Women won the gold. It's a pretty electric because you get to see a little bit of everything. I like what I like when they're a team because they get to support each other and they get to hype each other up. And so you get done and you get to go back and celebrate with your team versus like the individual where you should go back and sit by yourself because you're competing with all of your other team USA. Yeah.
00:50:38
Speaker
It's more of like a full country thing. So I kind of like that. So, okay. I don't know how broader specific, I feel like this might cause a little bit of, but I like what Zach went with because everybody becomes a gymnastics fan during this time of year. Something that you don't and it gets a lot of hype. We talked about Simone Biles, tends to just give a thumbs down. I'm gonna go with most entertaining as well. And he just talked, I just talked about how you're, you're a fan of this during the Olympics. And I think swimming has caught like on, like nobody ever since Michael Phelps. I feel like everybody becomes a swimming fan. There's different events. So I like to just draft all swimming, but you got the butterfly, you got the backstroke, you got the freestyle. So and it's just, and they have the relay. So I feel like everybody becomes the biggest swimming fan and I enjoy watching it. So I'm going to go with most entertaining as swimming.
00:51:37
Speaker
For swimming. Okay. Uh, are you, are you going to pick any specific swimming? See, I didn't know how we wanted to do this. I thought if it was just doing it broad like that, if so, I'll probably do the team relay as well, because it's them as a whole group. But I, I liked the thought of us just drafting super, cause we have so many games. So I didn't want to do like, we'll have five different people or we have three different people all getting swimming. Like I didn't want it like that. It's whatever you guys want to do.
00:52:07
Speaker
Yeah, I think we can do that. That's fine. Because there's only 20. We have so many other things. Yeah. Okay. So there's like hundreds of different changes. We can change it. So I took gymnastics. Yeah, that's fair. I was just gonna say I don't like watching gymnastics. That's all. Well, I hope it was a yeah, I didn't know if it was okay to to show the fact that you gave a thumbs down or not That's why yeah tins hates gymnastics. He hates America So I will say I did not pay gymnastics We'll go ahead tens. I'll let tens have the floor and then I wanted to say something It's just the floor routines the floor routines I don't understand because they'll do all the flips But then they just walk around and they're just like they do like this. I'm like, what is that?
00:52:49
Speaker
Why would you do the flips? That's all that matters, right? or All of our listeners tend to doing some dance motionsing it motions. like I don't know what what the point of that is, but it's like very, so I don't know. With swimming, you know who the winner is. With gymnastics, I feel like it's all subjective of who the judges are, and I have to have them explain what's good and what's Except for if they fumble when they land, I know that's not good. But if they're like, oh, this quadruple half spin with the turnover flip, I'm like, I don't know what that means. So that's where I was like, I did not decide to go that route. And when we got a list lease entertaining, I do have one that's similar to that where I just don't understand it. And maybe it's just on me. It's very talented. I know for a fact that they're the best athlete in the world. I just don't understand how it all works. So that's just me being incompetent, I guess.
00:53:40
Speaker
But I'm going to stick to harder to watch. Like you can watch it and be like, oh, that was cool. Like seeing them flip a bunch. But then when it comes to all the deductions and point values, there's youre like, I don't know. There's a lot of in the weeds of that where swimming is more cut and dry. It's like this person finished first. Congrats. You can tell. Yeah. Yeah. You got the back to back here. All right, I'm going to go with most entertaining the watch and I'm going to get men's basketball. I think it's fun to watch. us and At least in the past, dominate everyone by 40 points. um Yeah. ah know's on righthandedly They did. So we're we're back on track.
00:54:15
Speaker
Um, so I'm going to take the men's basketball and then best chance of me sneaking into that being noticed. I love this category. I'm going to go handball. Yeah. I played in school. Yeah, exactly. It's, it's soccer, but with your hands, I've watched it. They don't look like world-class athletes. They look like regular dudes out there. So. i'm gonna I think I could sneak in there, run around for a little bit. It's a team event. You can hide in the crowd. like you're you're yeah yup Some of these individual events, you mess up once and everybody's like, that guy wasn't supposed to be there, I don't think. It's true. Very so i like I like those.
00:54:56
Speaker
i am also going to go with best chance of sneaking into because i feel like that's the that's one of the more like i feel like there's a very few amount because of the athletes i'm gonna go with one where the uh some something else does more of the work than you do i know that there's a lot that goes into it but equestrian i think the horse I've been on a horse, if you can i feel like and I feel like the horse could be the fault. Like, oh, you could blame the horse. It wasn't me. It was the horse that like didn't make the jump correctly.
00:55:28
Speaker
And I feel like that's the doing more of the work. If I could just get out take that if I could do a well, if I could get a well trained horse to do all the work for me and I just have a couple like pulls and tugs and I'm just sitting on this horse. So I know there's a lot that I don't know about that probably goes into it. But I feel like that does more of the work and I can blame the horse if I don't do well. So I was going to take that in another category. So I was so the dressage was on TV yesterday. I was like, what are what is this? I cannot. Um, okay. I did want to say, uh, real quick, this isn't a real, uh, a real game, obviously, but the one that would dominate at exactly would be professional sleeping or just like laying in bed all day. If there was a game for that, I would, I would dominate. So, all right, go ahead, Zach. Okay. Least entertaining. I'm going with fencing.
00:56:20
Speaker
So now fencing, I watched a little bit of it each. It takes like three seconds per little joust. You you have no idea what happened because you can't even see it. Yeah. And then it seems like they all understand what happens. And then you just are like, oh, somebody just won something. Yeah, I'm sure those people are very talented, but it just does not show very well on TV screen. ah Fencing very much. And then I will go. um Most likely to sneak into this might be a little bit of All right, you're gonna hear me explain it I'm going with I'm going with soccer oh my gosh that on our soccerfield or eleven people on the field at once right it's it wasn If you just stand in the corner and and run back and forth
00:57:15
Speaker
Like, imagine me doing diving or something. everywhere As soon as I step on the diving board, everyone will know it's not what I do. Soccer is, that they're all very athletic, so people would look at, but if it comes down to, worst case, people are just like, wow, this guy is pretty bad at soccer. No one's gonna be like, this guy does not even belong here, where I think almost every other, it's like, there's some other ones on my list. If it's hockey, I'm surely because of the size of the of the team, If you can just sneak back and try not to touch the ball at all throughout the course of the game, I think that's how you. Zach, I know you made improvements with the fat to fast, but you think you can keep your running up with these, the amount of running that i definitely I'm not going to, but are you going to be the goalie? It was a goalie hilarious. Goalies on film too much to be, um I'm trying to get by. You're going to be like in the midfield. He's just standing in the corner. Bingo. That's it.
00:58:12
Speaker
Okay, I don't hate it. Um, so is it my turn? Did I get lost on a snake? He did the backtrack. Okay. and He just brought up diving. I'm going to go. So I brought this up a minute ago. You don't know what's going on. Least entertaining to watch for me is going to be diving because they do basically I'm just looking for the least amount of splash, but they're like, Oh, and this like synchronized or this, like they did the double whatever flip. I don't know what, I don't know what's good or bad. And then they just throw the score up there and these people are judging.
00:58:44
Speaker
So I, I was worried about diving going after him bringing that up. I felt pretty confident about the the other two. Um, so I wanted to go ahead and take a diving just because Least entertaining. Least entertaining. I don't know. I think the diving is kind of fun to watch. good Just, I just don't know what's going on. It was just because you can, you can visually see if it's a good or not. Even if you don't know what's going on, if it's a bad dive and there's a big splash, even if you don't know anything, you're like, Oh, age well,
00:59:15
Speaker
yeah And if there, if you get the one that's like no splashing, it looks like they're perfectly in sync. It's like, Oh man, that's, that's pretty impressive. Even if you don't really know anything about the sport, I didn't mean by who's a diving fan. Like, Oh yeah, I'm huge into diving. Not a lot of diving fans. How many times do you, and we'll get into the most random, which I'm thinking of us as touch, but. half the time i'm like how did someone decide when they were a kid or a teenager that yes this is what i want to be the best at in the world like ah some of it's so random even diving for me is like how did somebody decide hey i just want to be the best in the world at diving into a pool pretty wild stuff now the talent level has to be insane like they're very talented i just think it's not very entertaining so all right tens with the back to back all right um i'm gonna go with most random
01:00:05
Speaker
I'm gonna go with breakdancing. This is new this year. Yep. Yeah, I don't i don't know. It's not been on yet. I don't know how you judge it. I don't know how they're gonna judge it. So yeah, I don't know. We're gonna go breakdancing because it's very random. They just call it breaking apparently breaking us. Yeah. No, that's a good call fires start late this week. It's like at the very end. of yeah And then, all right, I'm going to save my one event um to add. I'm sorry. My allergies are destroying me today. Apparently. um I'm going to save that because I don't think you guys are going to pull what I got on my list. So I'm going to go least entertaining here and I'm going to go with rowing. I find rowing to be pretty boring.
01:01:00
Speaker
It's a race on the water. In a canoe. There's a movie. Didn't you say you watched that, Zach? Boys in the Boat. Boys in the Boat. It is a movie, but did you guys watch any of the canoeing or the slalom and the kayaks and stuff? That I find interesting. Some of it was when they have the man-made river where they're trying to go through the two poles for points and stuff. It's cool, but rowing is just... It's five dudes in a canoe or a robo, just racing. Just racing. Just racing. I do have a little more appreciation after reading that book about the US team, but it is, if you're just watching it on TV, I agree. It can be kind of slow. Okay. Is it Mason? It's Mason. It is me. Yeah.
01:01:54
Speaker
Um, I, I'm torn between, I think I'm just going to let that one slide ah slide. Cause I'm not sure yet. I want to go ahead and get the one event that should be added. And I'm going to go with not the, whatever everybody thinks. I think there's an obvious one. I hope there's an obvious one. I will see. I want to go with professional eating. because we have Joey Chestnut. and Oh no, that was the one he didn't think it was going to take. ah yeah we got different we've had We've had a lot of controversy in the professional eating and I just want to know if we, because you know,
01:02:35
Speaker
America likes to eat. Do we match up with like everybody else or are we dominant or I would I would truly want to know if other countries are better at like eating competitions than we are. It just would be really entertaining. I would tune in. I tuned in 4th of July. Well, Joey Chestnut wasn't, but i've I've tuned in just to watch Something that I don't think anybody really wants to see, but you watch it anyways, or just somebody dipping a hot dog and water and trying to eat that as fast as possible. It could be anything, but I think that the eating competition would be really fun. one And I didn't think that was going to be that popular. Got him. Got him. Snapped him. Sorry, gents. Sorry, not sorry. Okay. To me, yeah I'm going to go with thing. I've liked, I was actually thinking about this. Um,
01:03:21
Speaker
whenever we, they first started announcing Olympic games. I think three versus three basketball cut it. I think I don't know. It's not very entertaining. It's like, if you were actually good at basketball, you would just be on the Olympic team. I think typically, I don't know. It's just because the US s three on threes teams are terrible. Like they're just horrible. But what I think I would add that could overlap with the US basketball team is a, it kind of is a more artistic dunk competition. o Every country's got a couple guys who I think, and even if you're not in the NBA, like if you're not a pro level, you've got athletes that can jump out the building. You could even put track and field guys in there who are like professional jumpers. Could you imagine what some of those guys could put together dunk wise? Um, so it would be that's good more to basketball, but I think a a global,
01:04:16
Speaker
But could you imagine LeBron trying to go for gold or whatever? I mean, maybe not anymore, but it would be pretty cool to see him, see what he came up with for the Olympics for a gold medal on the line. What players we actually want to see? Yeah. The dunk competition for the NBA, we don't see. Or Greece. Yeah. I mean, the dunk competition for the NBA has become kind of a joke. It's in the middle of the NBA season. A lot of our best dunkers don't actually participate anymore. but I think if it was for a gold medal, you would see some of the stars kind of roll back out and be like, I'm about to put on a show for the world. That's a great idea. I didn't think of that one. Yeah, I think that'd be cool. And for my last pick, I have, I'm trying to remember what my last category is. Did you do most random? I did, I did. Oh, I didn't do most random yet. I think that is it. Most random,
01:05:11
Speaker
I think I'm going to go in this. I just talked about it earlier. I think it is maybe I didn't even know it was party Olympics until I saw it. No, actually not. I'm not going. I was going to go shooting. I'm going away from shooting. I'm going with artistic swimming. ah Synchronized swimming. Yeah, they call it artistic swimming on this Olympic website. OK. Synchronized swimming is I think maybe somehow It's like dancing while swimming. Um, I think there is a place for it. Maybe, uh, there's another one where it's like, how did you get into this? Who's coaching this very odd kind of situation. I'm sure they, it requires a lot of talent and skill. I cause as all of these Olympic sports do, uh, I just, it's very weird one to me. Actually six women.
01:06:05
Speaker
Okay. No, that's good. I didn't even think of that one. um I also have least random left, or most random, sorry. Most random left. Least random. Most random left. Tennis. i'm I'm torn between. Are you done with your most random tennis? I'm done. We're done. Oh, tennis. Everybody's done with most random. Okay. Can I just go ahead and what um was torn between then? I think I'm going to go with sailing, but I wanted to go badminton very badly, but I think sailing I see it and I'm like, what? This is a sport. This is really random, but it's literally a sailboat and they do like an obstacle of like a sailboat. ah But badminton, there was a commercial forever ago of like some way that spiked a badminton and it ended up in somebody's leg and it was like a fate. It was like advertising Doritos chips or something like that. It was a Super Bowl commercial.
01:06:53
Speaker
Anytime I see bad men, it's just such a funny like looking sport and it's very random But I'm gonna go sailing here because if somebody said oh, yes aliens Olympic sport I'd be shocked in my opinion. So that's the one I'm going with Thanks to wrap us up got sniped I got sniped hard. I was going to put on a whole big talk about how I feel like this would be the one thing I could actually try and become an Olympian in. And it was eating. Shout out to Mason for taking that from me. So now I'm on. Do you know what you want to do here? No. So I think I'm going to go. I'm going to go bowling. I feel like that's something America would dominate on.
01:07:40
Speaker
let's get Let's get this gold medal count up. Some bowling. um I so for sure thought you were going to go football. and we've got three on We've got flag football coming, so. Yeah, but legitimate like tackle football. It would just be the same thing where you get bored because we would dominate because it's not really popular in any other country. any country won have a I guess they just did the World Cup, right? Or whatever they called it of. America. It was flag football. but That was, no, what, which team was it where the US s just smoked by Japan? Yeah, we smoked by Japan. Under 20. That's because none of our best players were actually there. Yeah. There are some, there's like a German professional football league and oh canada had like Canada. Canada um and is, is like a big program that does that. A lot of those guys are American that play in Canada, I feel like. Yeah. They come from America to play there, but
01:08:38
Speaker
Interesting. But there are more programs like the NFL, this one thing they do with their whole international like games is they're they've started creating these like programs for kids to start getting into football younger and you're starting to see in the draft, there was a guy who was drafted like in the fourth round this year that has never played in college football, but he, you know, good size, good everything else. And he did one of these academies and so he got drafted.
01:09:08
Speaker
Pretty cool. There you go. But yeah, but no, I didn't go that route. I'm going to go bowling just because I feel like we would we'd wreck everybody. How do you guys feel about the international sports that are already international coming to the Olympics? Sometimes I feel like golf in tennis and soccer. soccer it's No one really cares about them because they're such bigger. Like every week on the PGA tour, the live golf tour is like an international company Yeah, in the tennis is like you go to the US Open and everyone's there from that's the best in the world. So I know I haven't really kept up with the golf at all, just because it it just it feels like a PGA event. I know it's all the same day less than the PGA event would pay as well. Probably. They probably definitely. Definitely less than a little bit.
01:10:01
Speaker
Stacks of cash doing those. OK, is that a part everybody? It's a lot of guys. Well, we appreciate you guys for listening today. We hope you all have a great week. Be tuned in with us. We're going to be back here on Friday talking about some stuff. We're back into our we're back to our sports review of the of the football season. Yeah, we're going to be talking about features. Future Fridays. There it is. All right. We'll have a great week and we will see you then.
