[SPEAKER_01]: Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-d
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm chon That's that's America that's celebrating.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's America celebrating 250 years which a colleague of mine today said they didn't realize it was the 250th birthday of America And I said where have you been?
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a podcast I've been listening to that has mentioned every ad that plays because it's just like the dynamic ads that play so every single episode that I've heard has a 250 it also has a Sephora ad where the
[SPEAKER_00]: woman doing the read who's another podcast host could not sound less excited about everything but the the copy that she's reading suggests other what's like she says something like she's obsessed with this lit blotter thing that is like sounds like she's got you know she's reading like a hostage negotiations like just no no change in tone or anything it's just not it's not
[SPEAKER_01]: You could like, there's so many, I'm looking at other country's flags.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's so many red wine blue countries.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, the world cuts going on, we're celebrating America 250, and like, it's supposed to be wearing red wine blue, but you could be rooting for any team.
[SPEAKER_01]: We were rooting for France, pedagoguat, paradise.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't wear colors just today.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's just like your best.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just have red and blue on it and they were like who you're rooting for because you got the whole, uh, but, uh, but yeah, like everything's, uh, how could she not, like I was the target this weekend, there's like red and blue Eminem, red white blue napkins, where white and blue, uh, whipped cream, uh, like open to my crumble that they have a red white and blue cookie, like how do you not know this is coming up.
[SPEAKER_00]: Unclare.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I appreciate the blissfully.
[SPEAKER_00]: The last couple times I've gone traveling.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've really avoided news Which has been just such a great treat.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've really I've really enjoyed that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe yeah, maybe just somehow need to
[SPEAKER_00]: adopt that to daily life.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's hard to do though.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not really possible.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's it's pretty tough, but I We were talking about this before Sean.
[SPEAKER_00]: I neglected to mention we're three minutes into this episode already and I Was gonna say how I the normally nice podcast microphone I have just inexplicably not working today.
[SPEAKER_00]: So on the edit when this voice sounds
[SPEAKER_00]: I crumb your, speaking of crumb will be too many.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, Sean, you also sound great to me, and then in the post production, we both sound fine.
[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a not great book fun.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's, that's half the battle sometimes, especially on an audio, only podcast.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but we also don't have the backing of like a dozen people that produce the largest bodgats You produce it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, every time we're we're having to produce or chime in.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just me That's some room of four other people who get all chime in at the the drop of a hat and research things all at once.
[SPEAKER_00]: So
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think we're doing quite swell around with our 250 episodes now.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, we're not close But I mean we're not we're in between 200 and 250
[SPEAKER_00]: And speaking of milestones, Sean, yes, we talked about the World Cup.
[SPEAKER_00]: We've had some thrilling games already that as we're We're learning this for in the first day of knockout stage.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and both games so far have come out of the wire We never went to Morocco playing right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're kneeling early, but yeah Brazil and Japan, you thought
[SPEAKER_01]: Japan got an early goal, and from that moment, I'm saying, man, Japan's never going to get the ball back again.
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't from that moment.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Brazil had possession over a 90% of the time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like they're never getting the ball in Brazil.
[SPEAKER_01]: They did that, and then they scored.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the second half extra time, some stoppers' time, at the death, the final kick of the game.
[SPEAKER_01]: Brazil wins and avoids the major upset that Japan would have...
[SPEAKER_01]: that would have accomplished if they had held on or even had just gotten the extras and just held on and didn't get the penalties.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the next game, where Germany took on Pettawey, and that game went to actually penalties because
[SPEAKER_01]: Germany scored in the first half of extra time, after overtime is two 15-minute periods.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no gold and gold, not first gold wins, so it's someone's scores in the first overtime, it's still second overtime.
[SPEAKER_01]: Germany scored, but then there was a foul called on a keeper, which is, you know, maybe a little flop, but it's it's soccer.
[SPEAKER_01]: So Germany's goal was taking away the guy that had scored, what's it was a clean header.
[SPEAKER_01]: and uh... germany mitson's then next mitson's two out of four so i'll probably have to do the score one more they got two chances the score one uh... or get one more saying they got the kick guy mitson's it low to the left germany comes up they kick and they score so the pair of nuggets another chance to win
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, uh, it gets saved kicking to the right, like, oh, I got those back tied again.
[SPEAKER_01]: So now Germany, all the more, all the momentum, the guy that scored the header, they got taken away is up to kick.
[SPEAKER_01]: And when he goes up to step me, like, oh, no.
[SPEAKER_01]: He kicks it and it looks like, you know, in Madden where you have the kick meter where he can move it from the gopods, but it was not seen at all the way to the left.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was no work, it was one of the work for another kick driver ever seen.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like he was aiming for the upper deck, forgot the kickers name that he used to play for the Vikings.
[SPEAKER_00]: That, uh, Blair Walsh.
[SPEAKER_01]: Blair Walsh.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't worry, Sean Vikings fans will always remember that.
[SPEAKER_00]: And apparently me too, just by not being a Viking fan.
[SPEAKER_01]: Blair Walsh in that period in that, uh, that caught it up for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Play on game against Seattle.
[SPEAKER_01]: Where the chip shot, he just kicked it all the way to the left.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that ended the, the, Teddy Bridgewater range of hope in Minnesota.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because he got hurt in the next house.
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyways, so yeah, he put a Blair Walsh in, um,
[SPEAKER_01]: Paraguay got another chance to win and they kicked it in me scored the goal and they stormed a field and a major upset in the world cup knockout round today Just wild to see we'll see if I we I'm sure there's a clip of that last kick from Germany and we can you drop it in the show now.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's too because we It was we enjoy a good while I like when an I mean I feel bad for them as the individual athlete especially Any setting like that it's really just you up there
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, you buy yourself.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just take so long because they put the ball down.
[SPEAKER_01]: You got to walk up there all slow from midfield, which is not a short walk.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you got to go there, the whole world.
[SPEAKER_01]: Their entire country is looking at you.
[SPEAKER_01]: You got this big ass net and as little as dude, compared to net, you don't get close to the net.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if he wasn't there to go in with the net, he still would've kicked him so far.
[SPEAKER_01]: If the nets were stacked on top of each other, he still would've missed.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, who is it now?
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen this happen multiple times.
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Hold on.
[SPEAKER_00]: Vamp for me.
[SPEAKER_00]: We pretend for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: We pretend for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you have like three rows of nets at the bottom and three rows of nets at the top.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think he scores that.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was so bad, and it's just, it sounds like lots of leftist foot.
[SPEAKER_01]: You just like, how does it happen?
[SPEAKER_01]: It's mentally like, I've missed penalty shots.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've missed breakaways where I didn't hit the net.
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's hockey, where the net is little, and you have a deep focus in it.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you're just trying to pick a spot and if it's a millimeter to the left on your stick, you're missing a whole thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: But in soccer,
[SPEAKER_01]: You've taken straight because he couldn't dive somewhere.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I don't know how you do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've missed uncontested layups as well, and I feel the pain, but yeah, I think it's just, even that, that's a smaller basket.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sean, I was thinking if Diana Ross, I've seen this clip several times during the World Cup.
[SPEAKER_00]: She, in 1994, she was kicking a ceremonial, kind of first goal for the World Cup as in Chicago, and she,
[SPEAKER_00]: She's lines up, it's an empty net.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's a goalie that I would have like, the goalie is very quickly like you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Fall again, her song, I'm coming out, comes up.
[SPEAKER_00]: She kicks the ball, misses the goal entirely.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the goal was rigged to like split in half when she made it so that she could then run up onto the stage and perform.
[SPEAKER_00]: Except,
[SPEAKER_00]: She kicks it horribly Mrs. the Goli like Docs anyway just to be like, I tried and that What is this the goal still splits up in a few runs.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's not sure.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the that as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very hysterical.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never heard about this.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my goodness.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just a very full soccer Yeah, show notes here but shot
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not the only thing that's been going on.
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, when this episode launches, that'll be the start of NBA free agency.
[SPEAKER_01]: Officially, June 30th.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Officially, despite several players already signing long-term deals, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, what does this, like, what's the point?
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the point?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, free entity starts.
[SPEAKER_01]: He, like, you know, how does the
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, this doesn't happen in NFL.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't understand how the NFL has to so lock down to where, like, it's not like when free agency starts, like midnight, like Adam Shepter is on it, midnight.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, all right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I could be wrong.
[SPEAKER_01]: I could be wrong, I could just be short-sighted.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, no, he announces deals way before.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they just, but like, I feel like NBA, even the draft picks, like, the draft, like,
[SPEAKER_01]: The job picks get picked by a team, and as they're walking to the stage, they know that not getting going to play a single minute for that team, so why are they even putting the hat on for that team?
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's going to be some sort of collector's item at this point now, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, there's a rookie card where it's them with the wrong, the wrong head, do you ever remember, I'm sorry, we're taking a quick tangential aside to basketball card collecting back a minute.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you remember?
[SPEAKER_00]: When I can't remember if it was upper deck or tops or so, I think it was upper deck had this, where it was, it was three players in one card.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like a tri fold, but just one card, you didn't fold the card, but it was like three split screens of players.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I remember having one that I think was three different draft picks in the, yeah, I got to see.
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember John Wallace was one of them, so whenever he was drafted, which I believe was 1990.
[SPEAKER_00]: six.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, 1996 and be a draft.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Sean, the 96 and be a draft.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure you remember.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, the players.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I do.
[SPEAKER_00]: 96 draft.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it was.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, do you still have this card?
[SPEAKER_01]: Because, I think, right, what's it look?
[SPEAKER_01]: A.I.
[SPEAKER_01]: Kobe, Steve, Matt, who all the Marcus Gavey, who's on this Ray Allen?
[SPEAKER_00]: Those, yes, those are all draft picks.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I believe, I believe on Michael, it was none of those players on that card.
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe it was gone wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe it was, as I'm looking through this, I'm pretty sure Walter McCarty was also one.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the 18th and 19th pick of this draft, out of Syracuse and Kentucky, respectively.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then maybe, Jerome Williams, maybe what's the other one?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, but I don't believe it was pre-slaughterdale, who has one of the greatest news.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there's the photo.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me look up this photo.
[SPEAKER_01]: The 99, like the only person in it that the only person that's not in his AI because he's probably busy.
[SPEAKER_01]: But a draft photo, like all these superstars in it, and none of them are on the card that you have.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right, I don't worry.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's your reef.
[SPEAKER_01]: Upduring.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ends one walker.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mingian, that's ours.
[SPEAKER_01]: We stay out of that card.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if it's, if it's out here and the, I, the binders at home in Chicago and the childhood home, but I got to dive through.
[SPEAKER_00]: I also have some Michael Jordan card from, I don't know when, or what, but I remember that one, because everyone had COVID when like everyone got super into training basketball cards and like buying and selling cards.
[SPEAKER_00]: And maybe, maybe there's still some of that going on, but I feel like it's not as crazy as it was.
[SPEAKER_00]: But,
[SPEAKER_00]: I took a quick peek.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have like one or two binders out here of cards and I, and maybe my mom even brought me some.
[SPEAKER_00]: shortly before then like on a visit she's like I don't want this in our house come on take it take it and I remember some Jordan card in there where I looked it up and these were like you know how how sometimes you'll see like a Buzzfeed where they'll say oh Mario Kart 64 is selling for $800 you know like who is buying that no one's no one's placed him just because someone puts it on eBay for 40 grand does not mean it's worth 40 grand
[SPEAKER_00]: is trying to rip someone off and the chances are they're not going to be successful in it.
[SPEAKER_00]: So
[SPEAKER_00]: Similarly with this Michael Jordan car I look at like actual prices of this card being sold and as far as I could tell It wasn't like this was like a misprint or a special edition or anything this card sold anywhere from between 25 dollars and like 600 And so it's just like what's the more accurate one because it was a mess at a mix of several different versions of this card selling We closer to the 600 yeah, it's like what I listed at that We get some sweet sweet the cheddar
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think that's my greatest MBA draft card.
[SPEAKER_00]: I really didn't, I don't think I had a lot of super valuable cards, but I also as a child, I really stopped collecting cards, I would say, even by high school, I was probably not doing it very often, but I always liked the skybox cards where it would be, like a player in front of a metal background, or the ball would have a flame coming out of it, like things that are not,
[SPEAKER_00]: really valuable to anyone accepted eight to ten-year-old boy and that I was the peak audience for that there.
[SPEAKER_00]: There were some excellent cards that we'll see if we can try and find some of these ones.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think also I enjoyed Metal Mario and the...
[SPEAKER_00]: specifically Mario 64, but other Mario games as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so those skybox cards kind of remind to me of that as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think a lot of those are not worth anything.
[SPEAKER_00]: They are worth less than the paper or the cardstock it costs to print on them.
[SPEAKER_00]: But really great cards.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then a couple other ones I remember is there's one where it's penny hard away is I think he has two pennies on like in his hand as well and he's operating a
[SPEAKER_00]: I go stout of the out of a hat or something.
[SPEAKER_00]: I being very, because he's on the magic as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's also a double eye now.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then there's one where it's like the entire Charlotte Hornets roster and outer space is a great one.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's one Elliott Perry who wore Nehaisox.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's him sitting in a like a big laundry tub of socks.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, like a living up just like that and perhaps my ultimate favorite Wesley person.
[SPEAKER_00]: How's that for a nice throw about that man with a name he's under water making a pass and The capture to something corny about He's always very good to get splashed on the court or something despite not actually making a splash in the video And so I was very curious.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like did they get him in full uniform to go underwater and make the pass or is that some sort of like weird effect So hopefully it's an effect.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah
[SPEAKER_00]: So this was feeling like a lot of effort because he was like, we're in shoes and stuff too.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's like, he's fully present.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's fully dressed for this silly card.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not well.
[SPEAKER_01]: But yes, NBA.
[SPEAKER_01]: NBA free agent action.
[SPEAKER_01]: We've had some news.
[SPEAKER_01]: We've had.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm sorry, Sean, can I can I one other thing from the draft.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, sorry.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, you're totally fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you, you said you turned off after the Mavericks made their picks.
[SPEAKER_00]: You probably missed this area, but you've gone a onyenseo from Virginia.
[SPEAKER_00]: Big seven footer.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Drafted, I, in the 50, or I'm sorry, the second round, the 53rd round.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was round with a 53rd pick.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and the second round, he is on the, I, pistons.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, drafted by the rockets via a pick they got from the next.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my God.
[SPEAKER_01]: So.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wait, no, no, you just started a rabbit hole for me, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold
[SPEAKER_00]: This pick was from Detroit via the NICS, the NECS, the Suns, the Magic, and the Clippers.
[SPEAKER_00]: So just about 25% of the NBA.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's right.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is too complicated.
[SPEAKER_00]: Over 25% even.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I can't.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why is this fun for them?
[SPEAKER_01]: Like this in aprons.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I never heard of a apron outside of a kitchen and tending in the internet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, this is too much.
[SPEAKER_01]: I had to look up.
[SPEAKER_01]: The middle ball was traded to the Minnesota Turbo World for Nazarene and Picks.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I had to look up how he picks.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a first round and three second rounds and some pick swaps, which I don't know how those work either.
[SPEAKER_01]: It all goes back to Nico for me, fam.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, look, it was creative for what?
[SPEAKER_01]: So, do you want to guess?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm going to take a look at this.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's creative for Jack.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you want to guess how many second rompix in this draft?
[SPEAKER_00]: We're made by the team that originally
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I have the pick.
[SPEAKER_00]: They were not traded at all.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the list of picks with the team, but then you had the via whoever on the right side of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, yes, it's either via or they were traded that night.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I started teams and then BA, uh, I'm going to say less than half.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, 14.
[SPEAKER_01]: Coach on one.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's creative Bradley out of Arizona taken by the Toronto Raptors, who've had the 50th pick.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that's the only
[SPEAKER_00]: from the 2026 and the draft two was drafted by and kept by the team that originally was picking from that position and Sean to finish the on yet so story he was at the draft he was just attending it I think for funsies he and they they realized he was in the crowd so he gets to come up he shakes Mark Tatham's hand and they interview him afterwards and his whole speech we should see if we can find a clip of this as well to add to the show notes because
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, you're doing laundry.
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got other things going on.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just kind of on in the background.
[SPEAKER_00]: But he is getting interviewed.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's so ecstatic.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, I can't believe this.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so excited.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said something like, you know, I even told my mom, like, don't bother watching.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I like that honesty though, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw I think what somebody got drafted and I think Lisa Sultre's was a person doing interviews and she said, all right, come over, what does this mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just like, come on, Lisa, come on man, come on man, what do you mean what does this mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: It means I got drafted.
[SPEAKER_00]: It means I'm in the NBA and now making millions of dollars.
[SPEAKER_01]: What does this mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: That would never not annoy me.
[SPEAKER_01]: But apparently, it's just me that I'm the problem because everybody asks, and they give a genuine answer, they don't say,
[SPEAKER_01]: The fuck you mean, what is he doing?
[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody who has an editing video training yet.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like, that's a dope.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Russell, let's work on it, did that.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, kind of does do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's great.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a great time here.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he just, he just rusts.
[SPEAKER_00]: He could be like the player, the 2K, my player.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, it's just... Whose voice acting was that?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's so bad.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh Eric Gordon's is the one that's terrible, where he's just like,
[SPEAKER_00]: Better call the weather station because it's raining three's out there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at what you show me they got into a fight and like you got texting throwing out the game until you have to talk to the PR guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I forgot who the flair was that had you back.
[SPEAKER_01]: You had a choice to be either like apologize for you like oh no I still don't bid this coach.
[SPEAKER_00]: I forgot to.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then his whole it's so press conference it goes on like a tirade.
[SPEAKER_00]: He stands up for his team.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just like, I'm the god of rebound.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, sorry, that's right, I forgot.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not that fast.
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, this game's got real weird.
[SPEAKER_01]: Trying to be realistic.
[SPEAKER_01]: We want to immerse a video game.
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't want to just shoot green splash all day.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I want micro transactions in my game.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no.
[SPEAKER_01]: This episode's not even about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the whole video games are done.
[SPEAKER_00]: Off shoot.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, we could probably do a lot with that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Kyle football, 27th coming out soon, man's coming out soon, and it's just, I don't even know if I want to pay money.
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to pay money by the game, and I don't want to pay more money just to unlock stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just like me, play the game for 100 hours and tell unlock the things, but no, you got to keep the money flowing, America.
[SPEAKER_00]: Especially with how much games are now?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: GTA gonna be a hundred dollars.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's great to follow up on tarfots the re the remake and that's a $50 game of a game that came out in 1997 But yeah, for it's back to sports basketball.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're talking about basketball workup
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a lot of happens a lot of happening a lot of you're going to see a lot of people in different uniform the Photoshop machine is already Now it's not Photoshop.
[SPEAKER_01]: I won't even notice like I saw Andrew Witton's re-up with the heat and he still had heat jersey on some like was he with the heat or did he get traded to the heat who can remember
[SPEAKER_01]: They're like, I saw a drama rate in Portland Trailblazer, Jersey, didn't need to read that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I could see it was from Cham, so we're good to go.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's those other sites that we'll just do it, but then they'll have rumors in the corner, and something like, wait, that's not real, they're not over there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Or the classic Shaq photo, where he's been every color of the rainbow, because he's been on so many teams.
[SPEAKER_00]: But one of those, I think it's the Lakers one.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like a yellow Lakers and a purple Lakers.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they just have to make them, they have to make them look like lies, like.
[SPEAKER_00]: Think the Chris Paul chief it like maybe Chris Paul did it or maybe ish Smith the deep play on all the I don't know I mean was that Jim Jackson was one of the players that was on like 12 teams right like he probably I think that's still the record most most teams for a player.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, is it?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and did you see the note the
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, first off, Kauai still hasn't been the Kauai Clipper situation.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's obviously, uh, salary cap, circumcision, nobody in Kauai will come back to Raptors.
[SPEAKER_01]: So like, because the NBA just weighed it long enough to wear nobody cared and then they're not going to punish the team that circumvent the salary cap, which is that time that happened, like, the timber was off multiple drafts, but also the other news that a Malik beastly,
[SPEAKER_01]: indicted for uh, for uh, for uh, doing some shenanigans, gambling-wise, and uh, affecting the game.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, uh, gambling's done, uh, whether you're a brilliant source bee, uh, our, bleak beastly or, uh, at Davis, weirdly, indicted as well, which I, that is the name haven't heard it long time, but with these, these were,
[SPEAKER_00]: This is just indicted on like the previous charges.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and these weren't like new.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think they were were they ever charged though.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's still dumb.
[SPEAKER_01]: We like games in general officially and died it now.
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess they were like accused and did nothing happen.
[SPEAKER_01]: And now they're indicted.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was just like, whoa.
[SPEAKER_01]: In trouble.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's wild.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's do that shit.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just going to keep happening.
[SPEAKER_01]: A sports gambling scheme.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is what it's only Jante Porter had got in trouble, but now the others are joining in.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Terry Rosier, the Terry Rosier getting died too, and Chelsea Bimmelts.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's maybe still under investigation, maybe.
[SPEAKER_01]: But Chelsea Bimmelts was playing poker.
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't affecting
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was an effect in games he was actively participating in.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was just dealing with perhaps crime families at high-6 poker games.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, don't get the kneecap slow though.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, always a shame, but on the plus side show, we're just mere days away from NBA Summer League.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of these little sports are done vacation to... We say they're doing lots of Vegas, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm back on the face!
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you're going to go to a Dodgers game because I haven't seen show hey play yet and there's an injured turtle pizza shop in LA now
[SPEAKER_01]: and they didn't intend to, we don't have to go, but I'm just saying, I had to fix the pace for something in my car that was 18 to the, it came out to have about $2,000.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I would not be traveling.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that thing was a big racing decal.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I wasn't.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was a racing decal.
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, I would do that, but none was not available to me.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not available to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: What would your racing decal be?
[SPEAKER_00]: Would it be a branded like TMNT or Zelda or would it just be your own face?
[SPEAKER_00]: Or maybe a musical cigar.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not the critting cigar.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a car creator like I and I think you should live.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, go ahead.
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't know that one I don't know that one.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure you'll send it to me I've never thought about my racing decab maybe I could do like Jeff Gordon here at the rainbow and I was like that's why I liked his card and maybe I do like an inverted rainbow But with shack on it with his jerseys
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll be just slow as car out here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like people drive by you.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not even bad.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're just confused.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like looking inside.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why the checkters in a rainbow?
[SPEAKER_01]: Why they're making some of their twigs?
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I, I should, um, speaking of a, a cash money straight, what was the straight cash homie situation?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: I took the jersey.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Past by a man, as I was walking into a pet smart wearing a pavogasal Memphis jersey.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I, I just guessed based off the number.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I asked, is that a gosal jersey?
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think he was thrown off for a second thinking I was talking to someone else.
[SPEAKER_00]: The realized I was talking to him got a huge smile.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd said, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't even a Marko song, let's say that's awesome.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, a huge throwback.
[SPEAKER_01]: So Bob, I wrote Vancouver.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just one big country.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, power was on Vancouver.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, oh.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not a grizzly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I think they'd moved by the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they'd left.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to say they left the year before.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: They moved.
[SPEAKER_00]: They started playing as the Grizzlies in the O102C, maybe two years before actually.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because then the, um, because all was an O3 selection, if I recall correctly, no, I'm wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm dumb.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was an O1 selection.
[SPEAKER_00]: He played the first year they moved.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he was never.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[SPEAKER_00]: I concur and shut you might actually appreciate this you you've mentioned 4th of July morning Also the day of the Nathan's hot dog eating contest.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, God where people slam hot dogs down their goal it I feel like I got a little taste of it this weekend did a little hot dog crawl Austin went to three places.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never been to two places.
[SPEAKER_00]: I honestly didn't really know existed
[SPEAKER_01]: What are those three places?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, for our Austin listeners, one of them is Ditty Dog.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to go with you.
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't go with you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Very good.
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't go with you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can park right by it.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're right there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: The second one was low, low, a wine bar.
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, the dog place is its own thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's called Z's Weener Circle.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a hot dog cart in the back.
[SPEAKER_00]: We tried.
[SPEAKER_00]: They had three options.
[SPEAKER_00]: Try it all three.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, I was with two other people.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we collectively eight seven hot dogs.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we each had like two and a third hot dog.
[SPEAKER_00]: Which did you, you know, Lating to trim the hot dogs or did you I thought we could lady in the trim three way style, but we didn't we just yeah, we just trying to cut it up.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think one place didn't have any kind of colory.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we had to kind of just rip it and that was.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you didn't karate chop that much.
[SPEAKER_00]: A questionable karate chop would have been great.
[SPEAKER_00]: But we, yeah, we had the three dogs and then the guy told us that the menu was changing tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_01]: So we were like, well, what's it, he was lying.
[SPEAKER_01]: He just told you to come back to work.
[SPEAKER_00]: I just come back again in a second, a second time.
[SPEAKER_00]: magical and then the third place on I actually enjoyed the spot I'd go back on a non-hot dog excursion as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's called Saturn.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's downtown it's on Congress Street.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a place I'm sure I've walked by dozens of times without realizing it and has a nice little vibe inside I've learned my new karaoke on Sunday, so if I'm ever downtown on a Sunday for some reason, maybe pump in there Do a little swing in a little bit and just a lovely time there three different hot dogs With four different hot dogs actually the one we didn't get was a Chicago dog
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I said, I've had that before and then he came over and we were chatting a little bit and we asked what his favorite was and he said that he eats the Chicago dog the most because he's doing it's the easiest to make, but also I think he said it was his favorite ones.
[SPEAKER_00]: We were like, well great, we picked the other three, but I enjoyed all of them.
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought they're all pretty good.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we had a nice cream sandwich as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sean, you want to hear these toppings that you probably will poo poo or the contents of this ice cream sandwich.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's peanut butter cookies.
[SPEAKER_01]: in a sandwich?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it was an Elvis sandwich.
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you know your Elvis, yes, very good, very good, that was.
[SPEAKER_00]: Peter Barcook is with banana cream custard.
[SPEAKER_00]: as the center and then the ice cream had candied bacon and crushed up nutterbutters in it.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's too much.
[SPEAKER_01]: Too much is happening.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was honest, I was very nice.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not, they blended them nicely.
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't like, it was like sticking out.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like nutterbutters jutted out.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like a very blended, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's two things so, quite delightful.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I mean, Ditty Dog is still on the list.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ditty Dog is inside or is it outside?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's outside.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going in December.
[SPEAKER_00]: There are a few tables that are in the shade.
[SPEAKER_00]: So December, if you think that one of those.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, otherwise, peace out.
[SPEAKER_00]: Otherwise, call them collective soul because December.
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is a song I heard during the hot dog call.
[SPEAKER_00]: Very fitting, Sean.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how we bring it full circle.
[SPEAKER_00]: with songs from the 90s.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, it's always for listening to another of the sports or death.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, he's, you can follow the show on Instagram, at Sports or Dumb, leave, rave reviews, Sean, I saw someone left a review for me for my book on Goodreads, said it was a fun read with good characters and like quirky situations.
[SPEAKER_00]: Three stars, five, I'm like, what are we doing?
[SPEAKER_00]: What is this, what is this, this is ridiculous?
[SPEAKER_00]: That's another that's another call for action.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you already given sports for them five stars go on over to goodreads Look up my book kind but kind of weird It's by Joey you'll see it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I Not to be confused with another art author.
[SPEAKER_00]: I learned about today named joy.
[SPEAKER_00]: E Middle and initial E And then same last name I've helped so I
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, wow.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, it's going to get that, get that rating back up over for, I think it's dipped below 4.6 now with this three star review.
[SPEAKER_00]: So get it, crank it back up there with a soothing five stars and say, I disagree with this other reviewer.
[SPEAKER_00]: These stories are five out of five.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's specific for viewers.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, everyone just comes here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just that kind of federally, I get busted for collusion.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying, independently, they all criticize her.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how I'm doing it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because ganging up on someone for making a bad review, not enough.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: People can have their own opinions.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's fine.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, man.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's me, folks.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not dumb!
[SPEAKER_00]: Sean posing hypothetical questions as we sign off.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not dumb, sports are dumb.
