You probably think that pulling sumo is the biggest variation between deadlifts, but there are many more. It can even be challenging to tell the conditions of a particular lift, let alone compare them. Is it wrong to “game” the system to get a deadlift record?

Similarly, should major sports all-star teams have standards – beyond just being a popularity contest?

1
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:12.400
So we've got deadlift issues, and I've had this issue

2
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:14.839
for my whole goddamn life. You know, we got the

3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.519
used to be multiply versus raw, and then raw got

4
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:22.800
confusing because there's classic and the non classic, and knee

5
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.000
raps and not knee raps. And then you know, the

6
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.440
origination of powerlifting issues is how many federations all have

7
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.280
different rules. That it seemed like we were coming together

8
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:34.640
a little bit. People are starting to walk out their lifts.

9
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:36.520
Not that a care. I'm not a purist, but I

10
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.039
just want standard. So everyone's walking out their lists. And

11
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.000
then the only differentiation seemed to be untested and tested

12
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:43.439
in deadlift bar and stiff.

13
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.200
Bar and.

14
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.119
Yeah, but at least there's not argues about it. That's

15
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.479
through every FED. That standard.

16
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:53.520
It's not yeah standard and everybody can do it.

17
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.000
Yeah, you can do it every FED besides Homeboys strong

18
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.719
lifts or whatever the fuck you can't sumo there beside

19
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.159
the point. So Brandy Terry, one of the strongest human

20
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:08.719
beings to walk the planet, a homie of ours, talked

21
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:12.599
to her earlier this summer, and I've complained about it

22
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:14.959
in strong Man too, because people say, like the biggest

23
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:19.200
deadlift ever, but then they're using straps, they're using equipment

24
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.000
often not always, but a lot of those guys will

25
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.359
throw on a suit and then they have these elephant

26
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.000
bars that are eight thousand feet wide, and they're clearly

27
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.000
gonna whip more. Right, So we just I just want

28
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.760
to compare apples to apples, That's all I want to do. Again,

29
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:33.519
I'm not a purist. I'm all for an evolution, but

30
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.640
if we could, if we could just kind of figure

31
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:40.560
out Yeah, I think she pulled six eleven. So Brandy

32
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:45.480
was aheading to fucking Ireland because there's a championship fed

33
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:51.040
there that I believe is untested and they use a

34
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:54.719
stiff bar, which is probably the first that I've heard of.

35
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:58.000
Yeah. I know when I'm untested, my bars very stiff. Yeah,

36
00:01:58.040 --> 00:01:59.319
whoa yeoh hello.

37
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.280
Yeah. So she was heading out there because I think

38
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:06.719
she's just trying to obviously, and Brandy is very competitive

39
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.439
and shout out to her for that, like she wants

40
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.439
to legitimately show that she is yeahes in the conversation,

41
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:17.080
you know, she wants to be equal to and show

42
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.840
what she can do everywhere where most people don't. Right,

43
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.680
old school powerlifting is actually the opposite, which most people

44
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:26.680
don't know. But it was so snaky how many teams

45
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:31.000
and lifters and people would wiggle through federations and wiggle

46
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:36.120
through rules to try to get elite right, or win

47
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:40.560
or lift in a get a fake record, or it

48
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:41.280
was all ego.

49
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.520
Yeah, get an elite in a different weight class.

50
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.439
Yeah, motherfuckers are cutting this and that twenty four hours

51
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.840
and just bullshit ways they're cheesing the system, which is

52
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:54.719
like just so foreign to me, and after you know,

53
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.560
living on this planet for thirty six years.

54
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.000
But if you're not cheating, you're not winning.

55
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.759
Yeah, you're not trying. I just never understood that. Like

56
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.919
even like basketball, there's guys that are trying to pull

57
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.159
jerseys and pinch you in the posts and stuff like

58
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.360
I just never understood that mindset, Like I just want

59
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:12.759
to be better than you and I want to prove

60
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:14.919
it and I want everyone to know it. If I'm

61
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.080
pinching you and doing stepping on your feet in the post, like,

62
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.240
I fucking hate that shit. I'll talk a little shit,

63
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.400
but even that, I didn't talk that much shit until

64
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.199
you know, someone would started me. I just hate that energy.

65
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:27.840
And there's a lot of people with that energy. And

66
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.479
I remember even the first couple of times, I was

67
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.439
probably like a kid playing video games, and I could

68
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.159
feel one of the homies had that energy, like do

69
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.560
anything to win, And to me, do anything to win

70
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:43.199
isn't the right mindset, right, Like people say that's Kobe's mindset,

71
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.560
but it's not. Kobe would do the right things to win.

72
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:47.919
Like Kobe's putting in the work to get to where

73
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.360
he wants to be. He's not fucking cheesing the system

74
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.479
to fucking win. And a lot of powerlifters historically have

75
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.680
been like that, probably still are for whatever reason. And

76
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.800
so shout out to Brandy to not do that. She's

77
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.719
competed in a monolift, she's competed walked out, she's competed sleeve,

78
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.120
she competed wrapped, and now she's like, well, there was

79
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.919
another lady who's pulled the biggest poll ever on a

80
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.039
stiff bar, and Brandy's a wal I'm going to go

81
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:14.960
chase that. So she went all the way to Ireland

82
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.639
to do that, and I think she succeeded. I think

83
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:18.680
she not only won the meet, but I think she

84
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.199
has the biggest deadlift ever by a woman. On a

85
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.160
stiff bar now, I believe at six eleven. I think

86
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.319
the other one was usapl right, and she was the

87
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.160
one that did the tour on like Ellen Degenerous and

88
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.079
all that shit. I think she pulled six hundred on

89
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:35.199
the dot stiff bar. I forgot her name, but that

90
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.800
was a couple of years ago. But I think Brandy

91
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.560
just pulled yeah, six eleven stiff bar, and her best

92
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.759
pole ever is like six forty five I think on

93
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.439
a deadlift bar, which shows the discrepancy, which is just

94
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.600
is what it is. But so now I don't think

95
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.000
she has the biggest poll on a deadlift bar currently,

96
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.120
but she's definitely in the conversation she had it at

97
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.839
one point. Someone might have taken it.

98
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.319
There's no way to tell that from open pier listing.

99
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.680
No, I think so is there. Yeah, if you go

100
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.399
to the top of the probably just it would probably

101
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.360
be if you go all feds, it'll just likely be

102
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:11.360
a deadlift bar rather than a stiff bar. So I

103
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.600
think she had that at one point, and then if not,

104
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.839
she's definitely in the conversation. It's within like ten pounds,

105
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:18.360
and so now she has a stiff bar, So shout

106
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.199
out to her. Shout out to Ireland for doing it.

107
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:23.600
I mean the support has been pretty European for a while,

108
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.399
you know. Shout out of boy Mumby. Like I know,

109
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.720
there's a lot of folks in London and shit that powerlift,

110
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.399
which is cool. Same week I saw a bunch of

111
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.439
really big deadlifts and the other thing is people don't

112
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.680
note it. That's even snaky to me, So shout out

113
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.360
to Brian Shaw, old friend of ours. Brian had the

114
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.000
Shaw Classic, which has turned into a huge strongman event

115
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.319
soon too. If not already equal the world's strongest man,

116
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.160
he has the best competitors. I saw pictures of the facility.

117
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.160
It looks fucking sick. He's got everything going for him,

118
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.079
And shout out to him because I know how hard

119
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.399
events are to pull off like that, and he's grown

120
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.199
it from literally I think, being in his garage to now.

121
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.040
It looked insane. It looks sick, so shout out to Brian.

122
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:05.639
But those guys are pulling giant deadlifts.

123
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:05.800
You know.

124
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.040
I saw Hooper on those guys pulling into the high

125
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.120
nine hundreds. But I don't know what fucking bar it's

126
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.000
on one. They have straps, so we already got to

127
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.639
eliminate it from my opinion of the world's biggest deadlift,

128
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.639
because at least the standard's got to be with your

129
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.959
goddamn hands. Not that strong men aren't strong or their

130
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.399
deadlifts don't count, but if we got to have some

131
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.160
standard here, and if we're adding too much equipment, you're

132
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:31.240
fucking out. So but I saw those guys pulling well

133
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.319
into the nines. I don't think someone pulled a g

134
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:36.600
which makes me think it was a regular deadlift bar.

135
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.000
Possibly. I can't actually figure this out.

136
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:42.120
You haven't used a websit a long ast.

137
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.920
Yeah, I'm sorry, guys, I don't understand how your stuff works.

138
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:47.839
I'm very I'm very confused.

139
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.839
Dot org means you're smart. The more orgs you're on,

140
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:51.920
the more GUVs you're on.

141
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.800
Well, yeah, dot com is like open, like want to

142
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.399
buy it. It's like I could figure out what but that's

143
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:00.959
I'm trying to be in records.

144
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.519
Maybe go rankings, try rankings.

145
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:05.600
You see this is me, this which is everything.

146
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:08.160
But I think you can click deadlift and it'll short it.

147
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.279
Well, maybe somebody can, but I can't.

148
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.120
Yeah, I thought maybe deadlift sorted. I haven't been on

149
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:19.079
the website a long time.

150
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:24.959
No, I'm just kidding. Christy Hawkins is forty three, No.

151
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:29.079
Idea a lot of strong buckos.

152
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:30.000
Yeah, I don't know.

153
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.920
Denise Herbert actually, I think is the one that had

154
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.480
the stiff bar deadlift. There six she had the stiff

155
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:39.120
bar deadlift and yeah, right there it shows her overall

156
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:43.120
deadlift at six forty two. I'm trying to see another number.

157
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.519
That's so crazy. That's that's that's a big deadlift. Yeah,

158
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:47.560
that's you know.

159
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.120
Yeah, Brandy might have it all time.

160
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.360
Then forty pounds above my.

161
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:58.439
Equipped Yeah, yeah, Brandy's there at six forty one. Wraps

162
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:02.959
one sixty five to be RPF. Either way, the sport

163
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.519
is moving. People are getting stronger, faster.

164
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:07.199
Better.

165
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:12.879
I do uh, I do wonder. Yeah, the the show

166
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:15.759
Classic look very cool. It did, and I mostly only

167
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:17.959
saw clips because there's too much sports going on for

168
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.839
me to keep up. I was watching the jiu jitsu

169
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.279
tournament that went on shout out by Boy Nicki Rod

170
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:28.480
the first ever winner in the Craig Jones Invitational million

171
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:32.679
bucks for choking out Man's which is dope man. Nicki

172
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:38.000
was one of the coolest guests we we've probably ever interviewed. Yes,

173
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:41.159
shout out to Nicky. Huge, huge for the sport, for

174
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.919
jiu jitsu. I mean, if jiu jitsu can do that,

175
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.159
there's no way powerlifting can. Like it's just a brain

176
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:52.000
behind it jiu jitsu. The more I do dive into

177
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:53.960
it and have friends in it, I do see the

178
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.600
parallels with powerlifting. One of the biggest comments in an

179
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:00.399
interview I saw there, which is maybe the guy who

180
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.360
runs ADCC, which is like the World Cup of Powerlifting,

181
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:08.480
a very prestigious and international competition, which was also this weekend.

182
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:11.240
I think it was him, but it might have been

183
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.720
somebody else who was speaking about people who watched jiu

184
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:17.360
jitsu and saying that nine out of ten are jiu

185
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.879
jitsu practitioners or participants, and I was talking to said

186
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.039
about off air, which is very similar to powerlifting. You know,

187
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:27.399
anyone who's watching an online powerlifting meet is either like

188
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:31.240
your mom or probably ten out of ten someone who

189
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:34.799
did lists in squats, which is a limiting factor of

190
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:37.279
the growth of the sport. So how do you how

191
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.440
do you change that? I think adding money changes it.

192
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:42.480
I was watching that jiu jitsu thing because I knew

193
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.799
a million bucks were on the line. Obviously my homie

194
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:46.919
was in it. I wanted to watch Nikki and there's

195
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.159
a couple classic UFC champs in there. Luke rock Hold

196
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:51.840
and some other people were in the tournament, which made

197
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:53.919
it cool. There were names that I was familiar with,

198
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.840
but UFC is probably the opposite. If you watch the UFC,

199
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.039
it's probably one out of ten of them actually practice

200
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:04.440
a martial art. Most of them are just drunk, fucking honkys,

201
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.279
you know. Most of them are just people like me,

202
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:10.399
just wanna bees watching people beat the fuck out of

203
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.440
each other, you know, And so I do wonder what

204
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:17.639
that switches that changes that you know, like obviously stand

205
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:21.159
up basically bare knuckle, you got eight ounce gloves on

206
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.440
is very interesting because you know, some crazy shit can

207
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:27.519
happen versus a deadlift, even a choke out, like a

208
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:31.759
really dynamic match in jiu jitsu is still just not

209
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:34.320
the same as you know, a flying fucking Superman punch

210
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:36.480
and all this stuff. It's just visually not the same

211
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.639
and powerlifting right the same thing. There's another really interesting

212
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.200
interview that got like tense between I forgot that guy's name,

213
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:50.399
but he's basically kind of a fringe sports commentator in

214
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:52.919
Dana White were sitting down chatting, and the guy was

215
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:58.279
basically telling Dana how power slap's so dumb and and

216
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.320
and his argument was actually the same as mine, but

217
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:04.200
I don't think you voiced it that good. So Dana

218
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.759
kind of won the exchange where he was basically just

219
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:10.879
saying that He's like, dude, it's just like not variable enough.

220
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:14.240
You know, guy goes up, he swings his right hand

221
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:16.320
and the other guy gets knocked out or he doesn't.

222
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:18.399
And that is true.

223
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:19.799
It's true. That's very binary.

224
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:21.559
Yeah, right, And same with powerlifting.

225
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:23.120
You either get the lift or you don't.

226
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:24.840
You're gonna load the weight up and you're gonna load

227
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:25.879
they make it.

228
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:27.840
They give you the weight or they give you the

229
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:28.799
lift that they don't.

230
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.480
And that's it, right. Where again, like and Dana's argument

231
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.159
is like, well, mma is the same. I was like, well,

232
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.759
it's just not you know, like way too many things. Yeah,

233
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:38.000
and I'm not a practitioner by any means, but there's chokes,

234
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:39.919
and there's kicks, and there's punches, and a guy could

235
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:41.519
get knocked out or he could just get t ko

236
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:45.879
and how it happens is different. Everything literally every single time.

237
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:47.679
How it happens is different.

238
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:49.799
Yeah, UFC, I mean to make it the same, it

239
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.960
would have to be just takedowns, or even even then

240
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:54.120
just one part of it.

241
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:55.639
Yeah, but even then, I think it's gonna be different

242
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:57.320
because you're gonna grab an ankle different, you're gonna grab

243
00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:00.399
a kne different. In power slap, you're literally using your

244
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:03.759
dominant hand and you're only allowed to hit like six inches. Yeah,

245
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:06.639
there's only one place you can hit. It's kind of

246
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:09.399
like the most variance of powerlufl thing is like sumo unconventional,

247
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.039
like yoah, who's what's it gonna pull? Where again? Like

248
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:14.960
yeah basketball, Yeah, you're putting a ball through a net,

249
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.759
but the amount of ways that it happens literally has

250
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.279
never been replicated. The variables are a trillion. Sure someone

251
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:24.279
shot it from the corner, but how that ball ended

252
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.759
up in the corner, how exact trajectory of the shot,

253
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.480
like visually is different every single time. And same with

254
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:35.000
m A. Yes, multiple guys have been knocked out with

255
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.600
the left hook, but how that left hook got there,

256
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:42.519
how it visually looks is different every single time. Where again, Yeah,

257
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:46.919
power slap and powerlifting are just so stagnant in every

258
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:47.559
sense of the word.

259
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:49.559
Yeah, we like every home run was not hit the

260
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:51.360
same way because.

261
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:52.679
The pitch is different. Who's an outfield?

262
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:54.320
Every touchdown did not happen the same.

263
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:57.679
The score of the game and the pressure of the game,

264
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:00.519
whether it's middle the season or a playoff or lay in,

265
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:04.480
all of it matters so much. The dynamic between the

266
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.279
brain games of the batter and the picture, Like, there's

267
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:10.559
so many more things going on rather than yeah, ball,

268
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.320
Sure we could break them all down ball make contact

269
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:17.840
with bat, but the externals are crazy. Where I agree

270
00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:19.960
power Slap isn't And I still have watched Power Slap.

271
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:22.000
I watched it live, I've watched the clips. I don't

272
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:25.799
mind watching it, and obviously I watched powerlifting and jiu

273
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:30.159
jitsu is much more dynamic than those. But still, I mean,

274
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.000
it got a lot of views. Bro I was watching

275
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:36.360
Saturday Sunday Nicky Rod's first match had one hundred thousand

276
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:45.039
live viewers. Good lord, you know, and jiu jitsu has

277
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.840
grown for multiple reasons. UFC guys like Nicki creating YouTube content.

278
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:53.039
Craig Jones his coach Gordon Ryan, although he's their enemy,

279
00:13:53.120 --> 00:14:00.559
has gained a lot of popularity. Rogan, obviously, Joco, will Nick,

280
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.879
all these all these big podcasters and faces are into

281
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:06.320
jiu jitsu, so that's helped the sport grow as well.

282
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:11.480
But but the rocks on on Instagram squatting and squatting

283
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:14.080
hasn't gotten more popular necessarily, you know what I mean. Like,

284
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.399
so there's something else missing for sure, I just don't

285
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:17.039
know what it is.

286
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:21.159
My daughter in law admitted to me yesterday that she

287
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:23.879
had no idea that Joe Rogan did anything, but the

288
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:26.919
podcasts like did not realize she was that he was

289
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:29.200
a stand up. It's like, yeah, no, I've I've actually

290
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:32.639
like seen Rogan in person a couple of times. I've

291
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.559
met Rogan. He's a stand up, Yeah, it'd be the great.

292
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:37.559
He's not a very good stand up anymore, but.

293
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:39.960
No, I think his stand up's always been a nice

294
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:40.679
seven out of ten.

295
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:42.720
But being kind of mid yeah, like he's.

296
00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:44.519
Funnier than most, Like he's funnier than I would be,

297
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:47.279
but in the comedy realm, he's not that fun. Now,

298
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:49.039
that same thing happened to me in the gym, and

299
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:50.600
I'm not going to throw you under the bus. But

300
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:52.399
they had no clue it was a comedian either. I

301
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:53.320
thought he was whatever you.

302
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:54.320
Use to see generation.

303
00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:58.120
I don't know though, because his Netflix special got a

304
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.360
lot of promo. Yeah, and it just dropped this month.

305
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.840
I haven't watched it. I'm sure it's okay, but yeah,

306
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.240
I've seen some of his old stuff.

307
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.080
Like I've seen people comment today it was trash a

308
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:07.440
new one.

309
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:10.159
Yeah, we saw him live. He was all right, he

310
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:13.279
was all right. His live This Last Would We Seem

311
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.320
last year was one of his better sets I've seen. Like,

312
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.399
I've seen probably all whatever eight of his biggest specials,

313
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:22.879
and some are decent. I once sticks in my head.

314
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:26.200
I forget the stick. But he had a bit on

315
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.960
like uh Noah's Ark that was pretty funny, and this

316
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:32.440
last time he was decent. But but the other guy's

317
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:33.039
on the Yeah, I was.

318
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:34.720
Gonna say that. Other people like overshadowed that.

319
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:37.399
Yeah. Yeah. Even David Luke is our buddy, like we're

320
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:40.919
crushing it, and he is funny. He's like a funny guy.

321
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.039
But I'm a funny guy too, And I'm not a

322
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:45.320
stand up comedian, you know, Like there's there's so much

323
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:49.360
difference and what comedy is as entertainment is changing, though,

324
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.960
you know, shout out to Tony Hinchcliff, like kill Tony's

325
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:56.600
a phenomena. Like that's a live ad lib show basically,

326
00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:00.720
and and it's kind of like the modern day raunchy

327
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:01.960
who's lines it anyways?

328
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:05.320
And Yeah, but at the same time that that's not new,

329
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:08.440
that's been around no time. It just kind of caught

330
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:09.720
the guys more lately.

331
00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:11.960
Yeah, over the last four years, it's just taken off. Yeah,

332
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:13.720
but he's done it. I think as long as Rogan's

333
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:15.039
been podcasting, like twenty ten.

334
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:15.879
Yeah, long long time.

335
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:17.480
Yeah, which is really cool to shut out to them.

336
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:19.759
And David Lucas, our buddy's a big part of that show,

337
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:21.519
and I think he was even found on that show

338
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:24.720
and then it's now like a regular It would be

339
00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:28.639
fun to see live. But even that there was a

340
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:31.440
Rogan on that is almost even funnier because like just

341
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:34.600
it's kind of like the uh cliffs and movies where

342
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:36.039
you see an actor can't like hold it and they

343
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:38.360
laugh like Saturay Night Live used to be a sh Yeah. Yeah,

344
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.360
that's fun to see when comedians are genuinely laughing at

345
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:44.039
each other. Yeah, that shit's good. And I think they

346
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:47.080
just did a big show in Madison Square Garden. Yeah,

347
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:49.399
live kill Tony, which is pretty cool. Yeah, because we

348
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:51.600
saw Yeah, we met all those guys. We met Hingecliff,

349
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:54.519
we met Rogan, we were there and even Hingecliff live.

350
00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:56.679
You know, no offense Homeie, Like he's just funnier off

351
00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.279
the tip than he is like a set.

352
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.039
That's why some comics crowd work is better than any

353
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:04.680
of their material.

354
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:07.880
Yeah, half of his set was just crowdworking. It was

355
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:09.519
hilarious and then he goes into his beds and they're

356
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:14.680
they're good. Yeah. But I've been into comedy since forever,

357
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:16.279
but especially when I was in high school, I got

358
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:19.400
really into stand up comedy. And it is cool how

359
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.039
it's gotten more popular. Like back then it was rare.

360
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:25.160
I would go rent the DVD from Hollywood and you

361
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:26.559
had to like go on the corner to find it

362
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:28.799
to find like an Eddie Murphy or Chris Rock or something.

363
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:29.079
Is.

364
00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:33.640
Yeah, they're very not popular. But if if Hollywood was

365
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:35.519
a thing right now, you'd probably walk in. It'd probably

366
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:36.319
be on the main stage.

367
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:37.240
Yeah maybe so.

368
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.039
Yeah, like Netflix, it is Netflix, you click on it,

369
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:41.759
and some of those stand ups when they're new.

370
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:43.279
Yeah, when they're new, they're.

371
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:45.640
Right on that front page. You're clicking on whoever Joe

372
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.680
Coroy or whoever the fuck's going on. You just even

373
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:51.200
have them as household names. I feel as rare, right,

374
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:53.279
because Eddie Murphy and them weren't really household names. So

375
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:57.240
they got into the movies. Yeah, yeah, or they got

376
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:02.480
the household names because they did both, Yeah, Pryor maybe Saturday.

377
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:07.000
Night Live, Eddie Murphy also Steve Martin Saturday Night Live

378
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:08.400
as guest host.

379
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:10.519
Yeah, but not because of their stand up stand up

380
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:11.400
because not because of.

381
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:13.559
Their stick because people hadn't seen that. It wasn't until

382
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:17.440
Delirious came out. It wasn't until you know, Steve Martin

383
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:19.880
is a wild and crazy guy. Yeah, that one and

384
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:24.079
one before that when we that one he was in

385
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:26.240
the jerk and then they go crazy with that movie

386
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.119
that went that went pretty pretty big.

387
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.599
Richard Pryor I think the only one that was like

388
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:32.200
a stand up guy. But even that you could probably

389
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:36.880
argue from his his appearances on movies. Carlin, Oh yeah,

390
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:39.880
Carlon o g obviously, but a lot of those guys

391
00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:42.559
that Adam Sandler's and whatever, like even still people don't

392
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:44.519
know Adam Sandler's a stand up comedian. They think of

393
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:47.920
him as Happy Gilmour. Right, but he started. I think

394
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:50.079
he had a He just dropped a special, right. I

395
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:52.000
think Adam did too. I should watch it. I haven't

396
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:53.920
watched any lately, but I think Adam Sandler just dropped.

397
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:57.480
I think Say and Arthur doing a sequel with the water.

398
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:02.039
Boy Happy Gidmore Happy. And I was getting an ad

399
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.079
for extras.

400
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:06.160
Oh really, Yeah, I should have.

401
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.480
That would just be sooo vegas. I don't know. I

402
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:11.880
think it was here I got to add this weekend,

403
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:13.400
but I don't know why I got it. Maybe age

404
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:15.359
group or something. Oh maybe I don't know what.

405
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:18.000
It was like like a like an email or was

406
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:18.319
it like it?

407
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.519
No, it's like Instagram ad. It was an Instagram ad

408
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:26.119
and it was like, you know, fucking two days worth

409
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:27.799
of work for two hundred bucks if you weren't in

410
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:30.599
SAG Yeah, I saw my god, I'm good.

411
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:35.039
You gotta you gotta talk to get Yeah a sad card.

412
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:36.640
Yeah. Maybe they would have just snuck me in for

413
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:39.920
a couple of jokes, but it would have been worth it. No,

414
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:41.240
I don't know where this all went.

415
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:41.720
Jiu jitsu.

416
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:43.519
Oh so much sports going on. That's where it went.

417
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:47.880
College sports are in PAC twelve is no more. You

418
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:49.039
probably don't even know what that is.

419
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:53.359
So goddam I didn't watch sports growing up. Broke my

420
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:53.880
little heart.

421
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:57.759
The PAC twelve is our league. It's our league. We're

422
00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:59.759
supposed to be the guys, U C, L, a USC,

423
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:04.799
UC Berkeley, Oregon, Washington, Washington State, Oregon State. It's the

424
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:08.640
West Coast League. Gone gone, just like that, just like that.

425
00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:12.759
Why why the big business shit? I don't understand. So

426
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:16.319
other leagues absorbed them. I think the Big twelve, which

427
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:18.599
is my favorite league, Ohio State and all them absorbed

428
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.880
a ton of them. So I think ucla USC went

429
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:23.640
into that league.

430
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:26.240
Are they gonna start playing like across the country.

431
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:28.359
That's kind of cool though, yeah maybe maybe Financially they're

432
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:30.279
just more able to now, right because when these leagues

433
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:34.319
started eighty years ago, it makes sense for Berkeley not

434
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:37.319
to go play Ohio, yeah, because they didn't have the

435
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:40.759
billion dollar Budweiser sponsor. But now they do and so

436
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:43.400
the Nike sponsorship. So now it's much easier for those

437
00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:46.839
schools to yeah, go play, you know, yeah like Obama,

438
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:49.680
you Penn and whatever, yeah, so that'll be good, and

439
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:52.079
it does make it more competitive. I have wondered why

440
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:55.480
they haven't just made it a national college league, right,

441
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:57.000
like why don't why don't you run it like the

442
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:02.000
European soccer where say you have twenty teams. Football is

443
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:04.079
obviously a little bit harder because they just played less games.

444
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:07.519
But let's say you have twenty teams and the bottom

445
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:10.400
five of that league go down to the other league

446
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:12.799
next year, and the top five of the bottom league

447
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:14.759
whatever that is, gets to go into the next.

448
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:17.759
Yeah, it sort of makes sense. Like in the A

449
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:20.359
few years ago, Major League Baseball made a change where

450
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:23.680
now they call it the balance schedule, where every team

451
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:28.799
plays every other team during the regular season. Sure they don't,

452
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:32.400
it doesn't you know, it doesn't doesn't wait until like

453
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:34.319
playoff season before people.

454
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:38.279
Go dision all right, right, right, yeah, yeah, I think

455
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.000
it's good and bad. I think it's good for competitiveness,

456
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:43.559
but then it's maybe bad for like rivalries.

457
00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:46.119
Yeah, it does. It cuts down the number of games

458
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:49.400
in natural.

459
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:51.519
Yes, and so NBA similar You play every team I

460
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:54.119
believe in the in the season for sure, but you'll

461
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:55.880
play your division more.

462
00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:00.240
Yeah. Then and they still play their division a bit more. Yeah, yeah,

463
00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:02.880
but it used to they cut down the number of

464
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:06.279
number of games by like I don't know, six or

465
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:09.599
nine or something total games no versus your versus your

466
00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:11.359
your division.

467
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.359
Yeah, I think there's plus and minuses there the Yeah,

468
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:16.319
a lot of sports have like changed, I feel like

469
00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:18.839
pretty drastically over the last like five years, where like

470
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:22.720
even the NBA having a play in a seasonal tournament.

471
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:25.799
They have a tournament every Christmas. Now that's cool though,

472
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:28.079
I think it's really cool, and baseball should probably try

473
00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:30.440
to do something same because the season is so long.

474
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.079
They used to Yeah, like why do you there used

475
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.759
to be, well, there used to be two All Star Games. Yeah,

476
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:39.160
like there's still there's one and in the middle of

477
00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:40.720
the season, sort of in the middle of the season.

478
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:43.519
Yeah, but like you don't care about baseball games in June.

479
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:46.319
But I think that and the players probably don't either. Yeah,

480
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:48.440
And that's the issue. And and the.

481
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:52.640
All Star Games back to being just a just an

482
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.400
exhibition and it is only it's a popularity contest. It's

483
00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:58.920
only yeah, it's it's fans that I don't think that

484
00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:02.480
that's maybe the right it's way to choose.

485
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:05.319
I think it's not the right way with the amount

486
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:08.359
of weight we put on the term All Star. Yeah. Right,

487
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:10.359
then it's the same with the basketball like when you

488
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:12.680
say like, oh he's a like, they'll still say like

489
00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:15.200
Kobe Bryant sixteen time All Star, Like that's part of

490
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.119
your thing. And then if it's only fan voted, now,

491
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:21.799
now you got to run a funny Twitter right now,

492
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:23.880
You've got to do some extra curriculars to be funny

493
00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:26.200
to get some fan base. And then it's obviously just

494
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:28.680
by city, Like no Kings player was in the All

495
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:30.359
Star Game last year and you're like, well, I don't

496
00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:33.759
know about all that. Ye, it was just fan vote. Yeah, right,

497
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:35.559
and it probably should be more like a Hall of

498
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:39.200
Fame vote where they have like selected committee, whether it's

499
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:42.640
like ex players and ex coaches or current coaches even.

500
00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:44.400
Or you've just run it purely on stats.

501
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:49.000
Yeah, stats can be a little baseball maybe baseball, Yeah,

502
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:53.079
it's just so statistic. Yeah, one, it's just so stats based.

503
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:55.119
You either hit the ball or you don't. Or basketball,

504
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:58.720
there's just so many other minutes. Football, there's more minutes.

505
00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:00.519
You know, you gotta have shit staft and still be

506
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:02.200
like the guy or not the guy. But you know,

507
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:05.680
and then yeah, what if there's ties.

508
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:10.319
Put them both on you. I mean most most players

509
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:14.599
don't play more than two or three innings in anyway.

510
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:17.480
Yeah, that's for sure. Yeah. I mean that's a lot

511
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:22.319
of controversy over the men's basketball US program for similar things,

512
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:24.640
which is the opposite. It's not fan base. And now

513
00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:27.240
they're calling politics and they're yelling at Steve Kerr and

514
00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:29.680
and a lot of the ex players are coming out

515
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:31.759
and saying stuff too. So I do wonder if there's

516
00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:36.039
some vendetta. You don't know, because they're human. It's not

517
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:39.920
everyone's gonna like everybody, you know. Yeah, I don't know

518
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:40.680
if it.

519
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:47.720
Was purely based on popularity popularity among other players, would

520
00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:51.720
a Pete Rose or a Barry Bonds ever have been

521
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:52.559
in an All Star game?

522
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:55.000
Yeah, you don't know. Yeah, And people say the same

523
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:57.640
thing about Yeah, Isaiah Thomas from Detroit Pistons. Everyone says

524
00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:00.680
that everyone just hated him. Yeah, everyone just says they

525
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:00.920
hit it.

526
00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:01.920
Yeah.

527
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:03.319
I wondered with the Hall of Fame stuff too. That's

528
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:06.079
a big conversation obviously, still floating around with the Pete Roses,

529
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:10.000
and I think they just gave Reggie Bush's heisman back.

530
00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:12.599
Maybe I'm wrong. I think that's correct, you know, And

531
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:15.640
then there's still, yeah, the Barry Bonds Hall of Fame argument,

532
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:19.480
the Pete Rose argument. I think those are the still

533
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:20.279
the biggest.

534
00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:23.920
I think that that because the Giants are having so

535
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:26.079
much trouble this year with hitting, I think they should

536
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:28.960
just bring Barry back for the rest of the season

537
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:33.440
and reset his retirement because he never actually formally announced

538
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:37.000
his retirement. Reset it give him another five years to throw.

539
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:39.119
What is he forty five? No, he's probably older. He's

540
00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:40.240
probably fifty, you know.

541
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:41.799
I don't think he's well. And I think maybe he

542
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:44.799
just turned fifteen. He gets still hit? Why not?

543
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.599
He could try? For sure, it definitely gets asides in seats.

544
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.240
I believe he could. Yeah, I mean their home park

545
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:53.720
is one of the hardest to hit a home running.

546
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:55.880
And he did it. You know, he did it before

547
00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:56.519
he was ju step.

548
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:01.079
So, yeah, what's the oldest six like elevant baseball player,

549
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:03.599
not right now, but like through time, like how old

550
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:06.440
are and oh yeah, what was he early forties?

551
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:07.240
Forties?

552
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:09.079
Because you would still think if you're not a pitcher

553
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:11.920
in baseball, And maybe this is my bias to get to.

554
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:14.359
You would think you'd be able to have a pretty

555
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:17.400
fucking long career. Yeah, if you took care of yourself

556
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:18.359
and you played outfield.

557
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:21.599
Yeah theoretically, as long as you didn't crash into the

558
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:23.519
wall too many times or right to one of your

559
00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:24.799
other outfielders. Yeah.

560
00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:27.599
Yeah, like pictures, I understand, Like you're just putting where catchers,

561
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:28.759
I understand you're putting where.

562
00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:32.839
Yeah, shortstop, first base, third base. Those are hard positions

563
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:36.240
you start. If you lose a step, it's very difficult too.

564
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:37.839
I just don't on top. But that's my point is

565
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:39.519
I don't think you lose a step if you keep going.

566
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:40.559
Yeah, maybe not.

567
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:43.160
Like look at Lebron and obviously he's a specimen and

568
00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:45.319
a half, but guys in the MLB or specimens too.

569
00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:48.119
There's specimens all over the place. But I just feel

570
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:51.079
like maybe they get laxed like Lebron. I mean, they say,

571
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:53.319
and who knows, right that he spends millions on his

572
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:57.240
like and he's obviously doing it, but who knows what

573
00:26:57.440 --> 00:26:57.880
he could be.

574
00:26:57.880 --> 00:26:59.359
A place by a robot at this point.

575
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:01.519
That's what they say. They say he spends millions on

576
00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:04.960
like his health, you know, but that's chef. You know,

577
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:08.240
that's the trainer, but still like just to see him

578
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:12.119
do that and in the dynamic, in the minutes that

579
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:15.400
he plays, there's just no way a baseball player can't

580
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:18.640
do that. Or Tom Brady was what forty three? Yeah,

581
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:23.359
like that's insane, that's actually insane. Lebron's forty This year,

582
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:25.160
I was looking through like oldest players all time. I

583
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:27.400
think Kevin Willis and Robert Parrish were two the oldest.

584
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:29.400
They played in the NBA and played minutes when they're

585
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:29.960
forty four.

586
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:32.599
I can't remember who it was. I was watching pitch

587
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:35.519
the other day who was forty and he's a right

588
00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:39.720
handed pitcher, and that just this is something that doesn't happen.

589
00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:40.079
Yeah.

590
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:42.960
Yeah, again, left handers kind of can kind of go forever,

591
00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:44.799
but right odds.

592
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:48.039
Yeah, yeah, I understand pitching because it is just reps

593
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:50.720
and wear and tear, but like you're playing fucking third

594
00:27:50.839 --> 00:27:54.599
base or outfield, just stay in shape. You should be

595
00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:55.880
able to rock to your forty five.

596
00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:59.359
Yeah, I mean, I agree it doesn't play out like that,

597
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:01.599
but I I do agree. I just wonder why it doesn't.

598
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:04.160
And if you're like if you're a minor leaguer and

599
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:05.720
you haven't made it to the majors by the time

600
00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:07.440
when you're twenty six to twenty seven, you're not good.

601
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:09.559
That's rough because you've got to be fast and you

602
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:11.480
obviously need your step, but you don't have to be

603
00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:14.559
the fastest. It's different than a wide receiver. If you're

604
00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:17.119
a wide receiver, you have to be the fastest or

605
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:19.480
you're just not good. That twenty five year old's going to.

606
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:21.920
Come grab you. They're playing around and they'll and they'll

607
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:23.640
have to do it in the minor leagues first. So

608
00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:27.640
if they do it at all with saying that a

609
00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:31.519
pitcher has to stay in for a starting pitcher has

610
00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:33.000
to stand for six innings.

611
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:34.720
Interesting, that would change the whole game.

612
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:37.640
Yeah, I would dramatically change the game back to the

613
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:39.400
more the way it was to go for So they

614
00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:44.680
would change the conditioning for sure, dramatically, and change your off.

615
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:47.400
Season a little bit, change our trade, your draft.

616
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:50.920
Yeah, and it would it would affect the length of

617
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:52.039
careers in a big way.

618
00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:52.279
Yeah.

619
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:53.559
I think the only way you do that is if

620
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:57.319
you shorten the schedule, and then I think I think

621
00:28:57.359 --> 00:29:00.200
you would definitely see more home runs and yeah, just

622
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:05.440
more yeahentage goes up or whatever, because you know, either

623
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:07.680
that or we figure out how to make it possible

624
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:10.839
for more pitchers to go past six or ages of

625
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:11.400
the sixth inning.

626
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:14.039
Yeah, I don't mind that rule changes. But then for

627
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:16.680
the longevity of the athlete, you just need to shorten

628
00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:19.519
the schedule, and so does the NBA, Like eighty two games.

629
00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:21.920
I know it's a money they're talking about adding more, right,

630
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:23.319
I know, yeah.

631
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:25.279
Potentially, I don't think they will though, It's just none

632
00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:27.240
of it makes sense. All of it's just money driven

633
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:28.440
because athletes don't want it.

634
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:29.000
Yeah.

635
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:30.880
I remember going from high school and if you make

636
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:32.920
a run in high school, you're doing you know, twenty

637
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:35.480
to thirty games, that's like a playoff run. And then

638
00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:38.200
college like the baseline's thirty games, and that felt like

639
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:42.079
forever bro Let alone, going from college thirty forty fifty

640
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:45.799
games to eighty two games, like there's it's just not

641
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:48.839
fun and it's not good on your body. It's literal

642
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:51.759
only good for the owner's wallets. That's all it is.

643
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:55.480
And baseball is the same. It makes the games boring,

644
00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:59.720
players are checked out. Yeah, like there's just no reason

645
00:29:59.759 --> 00:29:59.920
for it.

646
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:05.599
I don't understand the economics of any of the major

647
00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:08.680
league sports, how they're just millions and millions and millions

648
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:10.640
of dollars, and how they're going to continue to be

649
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:13.200
because it is the way that TV's changed.

650
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:17.440
What was the big one this year? NFL to Netflix,

651
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:21.799
NBA to at Netflix, Netflix, snag somebody NBA. Yeah, next

652
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:24.079
year than twenty twenty five to twenty six. I think

653
00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:26.759
this is a This is the last year of TNT.

654
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:29.680
Last year in TNT, so it's twenty five twenty six, Yeah, which.

655
00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:32.720
Is huge for Netflix to I mean, yeah, that's a

656
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:35.920
billion dollar investment and it will pay off, I think

657
00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:39.240
because like Hulu's been the sports place for whatever, but

658
00:30:39.359 --> 00:30:40.640
they don't really own.

659
00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:44.839
And more more internationally, Disney Plus has internationally been a

660
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:46.720
big sports think.

661
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:49.000
That they had they own ESPN. It makes sense they had.

662
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:51.480
Soccer, but it wasn't on ESPN, it was on Disney Plus.

663
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:52.880
I know, I'm just saying they own it all.

664
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:55.920
Yeah, Like I don't know why. I don't know. ESPN

665
00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:59.039
is more of a Western for sure brand.

666
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:01.400
Yeah, I don't even know ESPN's popular in Europe.

667
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:02.240
I have no idea.

668
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:05.359
I'm sure it does something, but yeah, it's definitely American, Yeah,

669
00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:08.640
because all the talk shows, I mean even yeah, yeah,

670
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:11.400
Netflix doing that's huge because even Hulu having sports was

671
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:13.599
more like that. Like it's because they had a relationship

672
00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:16.839
with ABC. It's not like they bought it. Amazon Prime

673
00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:18.799
is the only one that I know bought it bought

674
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:20.799
it first because I think they had Thursday night football

675
00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:22.799
games like every other week for a while. Now they

676
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.440
might have every Thursday. But it is changing the landscape

677
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:27.680
of all of it fast.

678
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:31.240
And they put together this bundle that's like forty nine

679
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:34.279
bucks a month, But the question is, like who are

680
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:35.319
they going to sell it to.

681
00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:39.160
None of that's really worth it. Like YouTube TV, in

682
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:42.119
my opinion, really is still just like the best. It's

683
00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:45.880
seventy bucks and you get literally everything besides like HBO

684
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:49.000
and Netflix exclusives. But otherwise you're gonna get literally everything

685
00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:52.079
where again, yeah, if you want to watch that, otherwise

686
00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:56.079
you got to get ten different packages of twenty bucks. Right,

687
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.880
And Netflix and HBO are obviously probably the leaders and

688
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:06.640
like independent stuff, right, they're making their own their own production.

689
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:11.759
But everywhere else you're just getting regurgitated shit, right Disney sure,

690
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:14.519
but a lot of that stuff you're going to get

691
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:16.839
on a random replay on YouTube. It does. It does

692
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:18.880
kind of like make it difficult. You're gonna end up

693
00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:22.480
spending one hundred and fifty bucks if you like movies. Yeah,

694
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:24.759
yeah it sucks. And sports like I have don't. I

695
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:27.680
literally got out of watching sports because of that, Like

696
00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:29.240
you just can't find them.

697
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:31.079
Yeah, you know, more challenging.

698
00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:32.720
Yeah, you need to get like three different systems if

699
00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:35.640
you want to watch soccer and basketball and football.

700
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:37.759
Right, which is what they're trying to address with this bundle.

701
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:41.799
But I don't think. I think it's like who who

702
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:45.039
is interested in all of those? Number one? And it's

703
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:46.759
going to pay that much for it. It's just like, yeah,

704
00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:49.759
I don't know, it's a lot. It's they're just streaming,

705
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:51.480
is trying to recreate cable and I don't know.

706
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:53.599
Yeah, it's literally just turning into cable, which is what

707
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:54.519
YouTube TV is.

708
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:54.839
Yeah.

709
00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:56.519
Yeah, and there's nothing wrong with it.

710
00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:59.720
Yeah, but totally unrelated note, And this is going to

711
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:02.160
be like because we're we're doing a whole batch recording

712
00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:07.000
this week because we've got travel stuff coming up. I

713
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:08.880
saw Alien Romulus.

714
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:10.519
Oh yeah, did it come out this week or came

715
00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:12.960
out last week? I came out from I saw the previews.

716
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:16.519
It does look kind of scary. It's good. Yeah you

717
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:18.480
saw too. Have you seen the old ones out?

718
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:19.119
Oh?

719
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:21.200
You gotta go, Yeah, you gotta go check in.

720
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:26.000
Oh no, I remember you talking about like last week's podcast, Yeah,

721
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:28.400
talking about the rebugs and I was like, I was

722
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:29.440
waiting for it. I was like, we are they going

723
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:31.880
to show the rebu Yeah? Yeah, she was like going

724
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:32.400
down the ladder.

725
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:34.559
I think I might have there. Uh yeah, you should

726
00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:37.960
watch for sure. Alien and Aliens Okay, like the first

727
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:40.279
Aliens one and two, Yeah, one and too, Yeah, one

728
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:42.279
and two. They're gonna be like boring for you, but

729
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:44.000
if you'll like them, if you like dive in look

730
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:45.960
at it from like a cinematic storytelling.

731
00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:48.720
Yeah, I like how like the whole thing was shot.

732
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:54.640
Yeah that's fire. Yeah, beautifully shot. Yeah, it's amazingly shot.

733
00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:58.759
And the budget was less than I was expecting based

734
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:03.160
on you know, based on how it looks. H It

735
00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:08.039
is chronologically between the first two movies. Okay, so it's

736
00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:14.280
twenty twenty years after the first movie and it's little

737
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:19.440
thirty four years or thirty seven years before the second one.

738
00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:20.360
Oh seven years.

739
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:22.360
You can probably find the other ones on like Amazon

740
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:26.000
Prime or sure they're yeah classic Classic, Yeah.

741
00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:28.599
Yeah, there are. I think they're on Max, but I

742
00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:31.079
think that you can get them with commercials on some

743
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:36.360
of the other But the look is very similar. But

744
00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:40.119
it also it literally incorporates pieces of all of the

745
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:44.480
movies except for the Alien Versus Predator stuff.

746
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:46.440
Yeah. I like those two, but those are like a

747
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:47.920
Guilty Watch or whatever, you know.

748
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:50.000
They're like it's they're like watching a video game.

749
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:53.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, mashup. You know what you're getting into. Yeah, no,

750
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:54.960
it is. It's the crossover, that's all.

751
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:58.239
It's non cannon. But but they made a Predator movie

752
00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:01.199
that went straight to video that it was incredibly popular

753
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:01.920
called Prey.

754
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:06.559
What's the one is it Adrian Brody or who's a

755
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:09.320
Hella famous cat that was in one of them maybe

756
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:14.119
ten years ago. It's a predator Predators. They're on the planet,

757
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:17.719
I don't know, spoiler alert. They're on the planet being

758
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:22.199
hunted by the young predators. That one was solid actually,

759
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:26.480
because I can at least differentiate when something's like I

760
00:35:26.679 --> 00:35:30.239
like it, but it's trash, you know, yeah, Predator, the Predator.

761
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:31.800
Maybe maybe Swiss is actor.

762
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:35.760
I don't think this is it? Who is in Prey?

763
00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:40.559
Kegan Key is in fucking this one. This is not

764
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:43.559
what I'm talking about. What's he doing in there? Twenty eighteen,

765
00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:51.079
twenty twenty two. There's so many it is Adrian Brody. Really,

766
00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:57.079
Predators twenty ten, that's just not a good name. Predators, Predators,

767
00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:01.880
that's like fucking eight. I play Epex, everything's about being

768
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:03.079
a pread Pray.

769
00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:03.880
Is uh.

770
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:09.320
Aali And Covenant. I don't think I saw that. There's

771
00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:09.760
so many.

772
00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:09.880
No.

773
00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:13.320
Covenant is the second one of the prequels that Ridley

774
00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:18.199
Scott's returned to the franchise. I hated the first one

775
00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:21.119
so much that the second one seems better, but it

776
00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:26.000
wasn't any good, just the amount of hate. First Ray

777
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:28.440
I see it twenty twenty two, Yeah, twenty twenty two,

778
00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:31.760
Like it did. It was very well reviewed. People loved it.

779
00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:36.480
And it's a Predator sequel.

780
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:37.519
You haven't seen this one?

781
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:39.519
Yeah, it's supposed to be really really good, but a

782
00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:39.880
lot of them.

783
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:43.760
I kind of like Predators is the only okay one

784
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:46.880
twenty ten, But the other ones are just like, yeah,

785
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:50.519
they're like not even john Wick, because john Wick, at

786
00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:52.639
least the first one has like a decent like story,

787
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:54.239
you know, but like they're kind of like that, like

788
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:56.639
it's like you just pure shoot them up. Okay, so

789
00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:59.880
you're just going in just yeah, yeah, yeah, they're fight

790
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:02.239
and then they're invisible and the news shit, you know,

791
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:05.199
we're like that is the basis of those movies. Like

792
00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:08.719
have you seen the original Predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Like

793
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:11.159
it is a shoot them up, but there is a

794
00:37:11.199 --> 00:37:13.519
lot of slow parts, kind of like Aliens, Like it's

795
00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:15.800
kind of actually slow, like there's build up. But that's

796
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:18.039
the beauty in it, right, It's like fucking edging all

797
00:37:18.079 --> 00:37:19.880
the time, so to speak.

798
00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:25.159
I actually just rewatched Alien, and I'm in the process

799
00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:27.320
of rewatching Aliens, even though I think I watched it

800
00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:30.039
a couple of months ago. I've seen that movie a bunch.

801
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:32.039
It's just so good.

802
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:35.559
They're just so well done, Like they're they're both nearly

803
00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:36.480
perfect movies.

804
00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:39.559
What started the crossover not same director?

805
00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:42.760
Oh you mean Predator? Yeah? Oh, I think it was

806
00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:43.239
just money.

807
00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:43.960
It was just like.

808
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:48.000
I think I think it started actually as a video game.

809
00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:53.679
Oh actually and then and actually Romulus is based the

810
00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:57.719
first versions of the script were based off of Alien, Isolation,

811
00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:00.840
which is a video game, and then it evolved away

812
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:01.239
from that.

813
00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:04.920
Yeah, you know, have you seen it now?

814
00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:06.880
You just I just know what it is, Dylan, your

815
00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:07.400
son up a bit.

816
00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:12.840
Yeah, Yeah, it's good. It's good. That's probably my favorite.

817
00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:14.519
I'm not a huge like Arnold guy. That's probably my

818
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:15.480
favorite Ronold movie.

819
00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:19.880
Praise on Hulu, by the way, but it's it's a

820
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:23.639
skilled warrior of the Commanche nation fights to protect her

821
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:27.440
tribe against one of the first highly evolved predators to

822
00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:30.559
land on Earth. So very different premise. And I think

823
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:38.400
that this one, Romulus is a very different premise because it's, uh,

824
00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:42.360
they're trying to Actually it's similar to the premise of

825
00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:45.119
Star Trek Prodigy, to be honest with you. It's like

826
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:51.960
people who are somewhat captive slaves who are trying to

827
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:54.960
escape from their situation.

828
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:57.559
That's kind of like, uh, the one with Adrian Brody.

829
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:01.119
I like, I think, I don't know if there's prisoners,

830
00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:03.960
but they all just end up on a random planet

831
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:05.400
together and then they're being hunted.

832
00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:10.679
This one, they're they're they're forced it's forced labor miners.

833
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:15.440
They're miners, and they're miners at least they have been

834
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:16.400
since they were miners.

835
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:19.239
Yeah, it's definitely worth the watch. And I mean, like

836
00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:24.360
Alien is like the Suspends suspense thriller.

837
00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:28.320
Yeah, Aliens, but the gold standard of the Aliens a

838
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:33.239
horror movie. Aliens is a an action movie with horror

839
00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:36.480
and romulus sits right in the between those.

840
00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:41.079
Yeah, all with like sci fi shrinks and the.

841
00:39:43.199 --> 00:39:48.280
The synthetic the Android and it's probably you know what,

842
00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:51.039
probably one actually I don't know, one of the best

843
00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:55.000
performances in the movie, for sure, Andy, Yeah, one of

844
00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:57.320
the best performances in the movie, for sure, and just

845
00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:02.559
an outstanding performance. And Android in one of these movies.

846
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:04.800
Yeah, I think the way he switched, he went from

847
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:10.239
like child as yeah, yeah to like full blown yeah Android.

848
00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:17.400
Yeah. And yes, and the pawn character, the guy the

849
00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:21.760
guy that yeah yeah, yeah, that is there is a

850
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:26.039
digital recreation of the same actor from the first movie,

851
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:31.960
who also was a synth Yeah. That's kind of cool. Yeah. Anyway,

852
00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:32.800
highly recommend.

853
00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:35.000
I haven't seen any movies this summer.

854
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:35.400
It sucks.

855
00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:37.199
Should go see something I just didn't.

856
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:38.880
I think I said this before, Like if a new

857
00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:41.119
movie comes out and it's at the Imax, I go

858
00:40:41.239 --> 00:40:43.760
on Friday Yeah, it's fun Friday two o'clock to thirty

859
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:47.159
whatever going. There's ten to fifteen people in there. I

860
00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:48.719
don't have to deal with, you know.

861
00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:50.280
Yeah, that's what I used to do. I used to

862
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:52.880
do is like a Tuesday deal all alone, like Tuesday

863
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:56.639
late mornings. That's when I saw like Endgame, when the

864
00:40:56.719 --> 00:41:00.440
world's on fire, everyone's buying tickets, but like Tuesday at eleven,

865
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:03.679
they aren't. Yeah, exactly, you know, i'd see all that shit.

866
00:41:03.800 --> 00:41:05.719
But I mean this summer was actually probably the first

867
00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:09.559
decent summer movies, right, Yeah, like Deadpool everyone said was good,

868
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:12.840
like some of my homies. Yeah, I liked it. Even

869
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:15.719
Bad Boys got really good reviews, really good reviews.

870
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:18.000
I think more business than the last one.

871
00:41:18.159 --> 00:41:20.679
No, the last one was the last one is just like, uh,

872
00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:23.920
the fanfare stuff, you know, they're just feeding you. But

873
00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:25.880
that everyone said this is the best one since the

874
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:29.079
first one. Obviously the inside out to everyone says it

875
00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:33.239
was good. Aliens people say it was good. There's like

876
00:41:33.320 --> 00:41:35.480
four or five movies that people say are legitimately good,

877
00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:38.400
which I feels like the first time it was twenty nineteen.

878
00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:42.079
Yeah, that that we're getting summer blockbusters that feel like

879
00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:43.119
summer blockbusters.

880
00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:45.159
Yeah, but people enjoy movies.

881
00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:49.559
There's still is not and nearly as many movies available

882
00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:50.199
to go see.

883
00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:52.440
Yeah what it used to be. Yeah, I scroll Fandango

884
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:54.719
and there's like three movies that you stater yeah, yeah,

885
00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:57.199
which is funny because it used to be like seven. Yeah,

886
00:41:57.400 --> 00:41:59.360
and they would last longer, right, they stretch them out,

887
00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:02.840
but the contracts different. Right. Netflix is knocking on fucking

888
00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:05.159
Aliens door right now saying, hey, how soon can.

889
00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:07.719
We do There's a there's a series coming. Yeah, there's

890
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:10.800
a serious coming Alien Earth. Yeah, that's what it's called.

891
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:13.719
Right there. There, there's and and there's a spinoff series

892
00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:18.760
from The Batman called The Penguin Penguin.

893
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:19.880
I think I saw.

894
00:42:21.599 --> 00:42:22.880
Colin Farrell Yeahengin.

895
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:23.960
Yeah, I've seen all that.

896
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:26.280
And there and Dune has a spin off.

897
00:42:26.639 --> 00:42:29.119
Batman like when you Zoom could when you zoom out

898
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:32.800
of Batman. It probably has the lamest uh bad guys,

899
00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:38.360
Like the Penguin's pretty bad. The Riddler, Yeah, the Riddler's

900
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:38.840
pretty bad.

901
00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:39.320
Yeah.

902
00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:42.320
Arnold Arnold obviously ruined it. But like mister Freeze could

903
00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:45.239
be cool, but Arnold kind of made a corny corny

904
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:47.440
in a fun way, how did your face is creepy?

905
00:42:48.039 --> 00:42:48.840
Jokers creepy?

906
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:52.280
Kind of the interesting thing about all the they called

907
00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:56.079
the Rogues Gallery, the Batman Villains, they're all mentally ill.

908
00:42:56.320 --> 00:42:58.960
That's why you have Arkham Asylum right right right there

909
00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:01.400
on every single freaking one of them, is that none

910
00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:01.800
of them is.

911
00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:03.760
Just the penguin's fucking quacking and.

912
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:07.800
Ye, whereas when you if you go over to Superman,

913
00:43:08.119 --> 00:43:12.320
they're all aliens, like Luthor is just an evil businessman.

914
00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:13.840
Right, and Spider Man is kind of like that. King

915
00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:15.920
Pin was the big one and yeah, and the other

916
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:19.880
ones are all experimental fails like he is. Yeah, you know,

917
00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:22.199
they all got sapped or bit or fell.

918
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:24.920
Some kind of mutant in human whatever.

919
00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:28.679
Yeah, it is funny. I think there's a new Villains World.

920
00:43:28.840 --> 00:43:32.119
Is it Disneyland, disney World, Disney World, I think, or

921
00:43:32.239 --> 00:43:34.599
Universal Buck I get it mixed up. But one of

922
00:43:34.639 --> 00:43:36.719
them is building like the first ever like Villain Park,

923
00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:39.239
which is kind of dope. Yeah, it might be universal.

924
00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:42.280
I think it might be universal. Yeah, the best is

925
00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:42.760
checking for us.

926
00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:45.000
Yeah, I think it's universal, which is fun too.

927
00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:45.599
Yeah.

928
00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:47.599
That world seems to be doing good business wise too.

929
00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:47.840
Yeah.

930
00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:49.599
The world's picking up. We're doing okay world.

931
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:53.480
He's building a bunch of new ships in uh, for.

932
00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:56.119
Sure in Florida. But that's been like the overall plant.

933
00:43:56.159 --> 00:43:58.599
I think they have like hundreds of acres that they

934
00:43:58.679 --> 00:43:59.719
own that they haven't touched.

935
00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:03.159
Oh yeah no, but I'm in building like cruise ships.

936
00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:03.920
Oh that for sure.

937
00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:06.199
Disney's building a two or three news cruise ship. I

938
00:44:06.280 --> 00:44:08.880
just saw the biggest Like hell, to me, that sounds

939
00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:10.960
like the place I never want to be.

940
00:44:11.159 --> 00:44:13.440
Well, I love Disney and theme parks, but yeah, like

941
00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:15.360
when you go to that, you know it's only for

942
00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:16.119
like eight year olds.

943
00:44:16.159 --> 00:44:17.880
Oh, Disney's making a villain's land.

944
00:44:18.039 --> 00:44:21.079
Maybe they both are, Yeah, that's probably a world. Yeah, yeah,

945
00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:24.159
I think both are opening shit up. I think the

946
00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:29.280
world's biggest cruise ship currently just stocked up in Miami,

947
00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:30.920
and I saw a video of it pulling in, And

948
00:44:32.679 --> 00:44:34.239
part of it's my brain, but part of it's also

949
00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:37.280
like CGI and AI and Shiit like it looks fake.

950
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:41.079
It's literally like thirty hotels just moving down the water.

951
00:44:41.199 --> 00:44:42.320
How many fingers does it have?

952
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:45.519
It looks insane? Have you said I think they saw fingers? Though,

953
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:47.280
I think they saw fingers fucked.

954
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:48.480
Some, yeah, some of them.

955
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:50.360
That was the beginning. Yeah, that was the beginning. We

956
00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:53.320
weren't univers was doing monster Land. Monster Land. All right,

957
00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:55.559
that'll be fire too, because yeah, either way they'll be fire.

958
00:44:55.599 --> 00:44:58.639
But this, yeah, this cruise ship was insane. Well that's

959
00:44:58.679 --> 00:45:01.039
cool though. I'm glad, like one, things are getting money

960
00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:03.840
too rather than just the bullshit that bogs down our world.

961
00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:06.239
Yeah, alright, that's all I got.
