This is Beer thirty Sports O'clock. I don't know. Why was I gonna clap there? I don't know why I was gonna clap there. Because you usually clap to start. Start? Yeah. Yeah. Action. And then I just said fuck it. And this episode's beer is from Tufts Beer Company, and it is Galaxy Hoppin'. It is a hazy IPA with Galaxy Hops, and it is 8.2%. My God, man. And it's I don't know. I really like this design with the spaceship or the astronaut reaching for the hops. I'm not I'm kinda jealous. I should put this on a shirt somewhere. Low key. Oh, that's what I didn't do. That's what I meant to do. Yeah. I know. You're doing great. That's what I get for getting up at 04:30 this morning. Mhmm. Oh, that's good. Definitely on the heavier side of all the hazies I've ever had. Obviously, with the 8.2% goes without saying. But it's, it's it's a strong aftertaste if you're not a hoppy kind of person. I don't know if the Galactica hops or whatever they're galaxy hops or whatever they're trying to say there. I don't know if those are, yeah, if you're not a hoppy person, just that aftertaste is gonna deter you away from this. But if you're like me and you like IPAs and you like Hazy's, this is a pretty good one for you. I suggest this is not I suggest you slow in your roll. Mhmm. But it is good. It is good. And we're gonna do the show a little different. The show, usually has like, you know, a little bit of craziness to it. I was sick last week so I didn't feel like, there hasn't been a lot of things going on in sports so let's just let's let's just get to it. News, you can boost to yeah. So the World Cup, finally over. Yeah. Kind of a dud into the game. I enjoyed it. The game or the performances? The game. Really? Why did you enjoy A little bit because I was working and we were Obviously, you were just working. We were packed. Well We were slammed. Everybody wanted to watch Messi do it again. I don't know about that one. Most of the people in my bar did not want Argentina to win. Really? Okay. Three So people were, like, for Argentina. The rest of the bar was for Spain. Which is crazy because there's a lot of Argentinian fans in the Metroplex, so I was expecting it to be a lot more people that were like, just I'm here to see winning it. Mhmm. And it wasn't. It was about a fifty fifty. It was a lot of people that especially after they lost, like, all the haters came out. Like, all the haters came out. But even my son who was a Ronaldo and Mbappe fan, he was kinda like, yeah, I mean, I'm cool I would be cool with Messi winning it. Yamal's really young, you know, Lamine Yamal is really young. He's only 19. So for him to win already is kinda kinda crazy, but, yeah, it was, you know, it was it was crazy to see Spain's defense the way that every like, the way it was played, everybody was, you know, it was a it was kind of a boring game, not a lot of action. Like, the third place game was, like, it was just nonstop action. Like, you turned you turned away from the TV and somebody scored, type of time, and it just seemed like we were gonna get that kind of craziness in, the World Cup final, and we just didn't get it. I don't think people really understood that Spain was really really good defensively throughout the entire entire entire championship or entire run, and it just man, Spain is gonna be a problem because a lot of them are young. A lot of the players on that team are young. Spain plays very good defense, and they just needed one goal to win it, an extra time. It was a long drawn out game. I was watching in the car, because I had a birthday party that I had to be there for at the studio, and it was just like a lot going on and just You sound so tired. Bro, it was it was such an so my sleep schedule's fucked. Right? So first I got I'm gonna tell you, I got sick last week, right? Yeah. So I can't sleep through the sickness. I'm taking Mucinex night, Mucinex day, Theraflu night, Theraflu day, like I'm just drugged up halfway asleep throughout the day. Thank God my day job allows me to do like work from home type shit because I was making phone calls and then taking naps and phone calls, taking that, like I was shit, I was absolutely bad. And I'm still kind of like, I don't wanna say I'm still sick because I'm not still sick, but I'm still feeling the aftermath of it because I still feel kinda stuffy. You know what I mean? But I don't have a fever anymore. I don't have a cough. I don't have I don't sound like I don't have the drip, if you will, from, Jesus, that sounded terrible. I don't have any drainage, there we go, from my nose or anything like that. But I do feel still stuffy. You know So what I always get this. It's probably gonna happen again, knock on wood. I'm probably gonna get a sinus infection as But my week was shit as far as sleep schedule. And then a buddy of mine is, who I run the studio who I run a studio with, he went on a cruise this weekend. Mhmm. So he's like, hey, I need you to step up and help out with the studio. I don't really ask you to do much in the studio except for at night. You know what I'm saying? Stuff like that. This weekend's kinda big. We got a lot of things going on this weekend. I kid you not, Saturday, I'm like I'm like, alright. Cool. So Friday night, we kinda set up for Saturday. Saturday, there's like a one year old christening, and it's from, like, 05:00 to like one in the morning, 5PM to 1AM, which is insanity. Like, I've never in my life ever ever heard of a christening, a baby. One year old, two year old, whatever the case would be christening party being that like long. Spanish, not gonna be racist here, we all know that this party ain't for the baby, it's for the adults. As we're finishing setting up, I knew what type of time they were on because the Pacificos were already being drunk. As we were setting up, I see motherfuckers cracking cans, cracking bottles and drinking beers and I'm like, this is gonna be a long night. Because I had to come back because we had a birthday party the next day, but they wanted to set up and change the entire studio. They wanted like it completely empty, so I had to get like a truck and store all the furniture that we have into the truck and in the storage closet and then park the truck, whatever. And then luckily the U Haul's down the block, so I was like walking and going up and down on a scooter and shit like that. Shout out to fucking Urban Boulevard because the scooters are scattered everywhere. But yeah, so then we go, I come back, you know, after helping set up whatever the case would be, I think it was like four something, almost five, I leave, I leave them alone, I'm not that type of guy, like I'm out and I go to sleep. I immediately try to take a nap because I know I gotta be up early or up late at 01:00 and make sure that we clean up before the other crew gets in there because they're getting there at 2AM to set up and change the entire studio, right? They changed it also a child's birthday, This is the wildest shit. The shit we do for children's birthdays is crazy. This is again why I say like, hell no. My son got one great, like, phenomenal birthday where we went all out for his first birthday, which was for his mother, not for him because he don't remember it. Every other year or any other what do you want? That's what you're getting. We ain't not big on parties. We'll do main event. You know, you go to his part. Whatever. His birthday's in December, so he don't get to go outside in summer and stuff, all that. But anyway and he's not a cold fan. They come we come back around 01:00, cleaning people are there, and it is demolished. Food everywhere, liquor bottles everywhere. I'm talking and I'm like shocked because I'm a drinker, I'm duh, right? I'm a drinker. There's Pacifico bottles, there's Modelo bottles, there's Corona bottles, there's Miller Lite bottles and cans. And then there's like probably about 15 bottles of tequila and It's for a baby. The baby's been asleep. The baby was The baby left. The baby was asleep probably by 07:30. Yeah. So you know, and here's the thing, the cleaning lady got there, the cleaning crew got there before I did and she was like, Yo, they were still going to 12:50. What do you mean they were still going to 12:50? She was like, oh, they had to speak. Like at 12:50, we heard the garage open because they had a bounce house apparently. Oh. Well, they did, not apparently. They had a bounce house and the bounce house people came and got their stuff at like, I guess like 12:45, 12:50. Mhmm. And then once they broke it down, pretty much everybody left. So I'm like, so they didn't even try to clean up. Yeah. They was like, owie out. Or they were too drunk to do it. Mhmm. Throw up in the bathroom. Ew. Yeah. And then there's for my Spanish listeners, for my Spanish video watchers, please someone explain to me what is the cucumbers and orange spicy sauce that I don't know what it is. I didn't taste it, but it was everywhere. And they had a whole tray of it that no like a second or third tray that nobody touched that they had on top of the garbage. And I'm like, I don't even I thought it was throw up. I thought it was like throw up with cucumbers on it, but it was like a sauce with cucumbers on it. I don't know, shit was everywhere. My cleaning lady and crew deserve a fucking they got I almost like fell down on my knees and like just was praising them. And I don't do this for nobody because you do your fucking job, you do your fucking job. But they finished that shit in forty five minutes. Hell yeah. Crazy. The 02:00 crew shows up thirty minutes early though. Oh. Hey fam, Y'all can't come in till 02:00. Go away. Get the fuck out of here. Yeah. Then, of course, to set up I'm sorry. This is this is got long and drawn out. But they're needy as fuck. Mhmm. And I get it. It's some it was I I don't wanna well, fuck it. It was Anthony Davis' kid's birthday party. Shout out to Anthony Davis, he didn't have nothing to do with all this. He just, you know, he just paid somebody to event planner, take care of it. Mhmm. This is what we want, this is how we wanna do it. Or his girl did, This is how we do it. This is blah blah blah. Cool. No. It is what it is. I ain't mad at it. They changed the entire studio to like a golf theme. Oh. Fire. I'm not gonna lie. Was very, very fire. I don't It was toddler. I had toddler ass. Okay. They set up a fucking golf simulator in the back where the bounce house was. Mhmm. So they took the bounce house out, then they set that up. They had a golf cart. They had like, I mean, it was a very good theme, but the problem was someone unplugged the wifi box and I'm getting back to originally where we started. Someone unplugged the wifi box, then the drape guys that set up to make it all green and dark, which was really dark for a kid's birthday party, because I'm like, can we make this a little more light? I would want my child's birthday party to be light. Able to see. See them. Yeah. See what's going on. And they also had like like a ring around, like a a what do they call it? A merry-go-round? Merry-go-round, but it was like and then they had like a bunch of balls, little plastic balls everywhere, like golf ball type thing. It was a dope event. I did see AD there and he was at the golf simulator. He's tall as fuck. Mhmm. But yeah. So long story short, didn't get a chance to sit down and watch the game because I had to go up to the studio, plug in the WiFi box, whole another story. Explain why the AC is not blowing that cold because they took all day with the garage open to set up. Well, yeah, you're the heat, it's a 100 degrees outside. Then on top of that, the drapes are covering the vents. Mhmm. Yeah. It's not gonna get cold in there. It's gonna be hot. Yeah. AC was on, like, 55. Oh. And it still was like 75. And I'm like, look, 75 is the best you're gonna get. Yeah. Unless y'all all stop moving. Which I hope y'all don't stop moving. But last night, I stayed in the vicinity because I was like, they've been calling me back two, three times now. So 02:00 it ends. I go back and obviously there's a lot of shit to break down and I gotta move this fucking U Haul out the way and I can't until they get all they shit out. So I'm sitting there waiting on them to break they shit down, sitting in the truck, just waiting and I'm like, fuck it, I'm just gonna watch this shit on my phone. Fell asleep for about ten minutes. Was like, oh shit, I'm like watching the game. It was such a I ain't gonna say boring. It was such a defensive game plus I was tired, my sleep schedule was all fucked because I had to get up, then went back to sleep then got up again and it yeah. It was just all crazy. And then, you know, because I'm healthier, I'm feeling not sick anymore, I gotta get up four in the morning to go run and work out because I'm just a fucking moron that way. It's like, you don't have to. You choose to do that. I do. But but anyway, back to the World Cup, moving all down that rabbit hole for essentially a lot of people I heard were not happy with the performances. Or they were, but they were, like, a lot of, like, meme moments. Did Bieber have a good performance? Because, you know, you'd be killing Bieber. It was so it started I barely paid attention. I didn't even realize it was halftime until all of a sudden I heard the Muppets. I was like, what? Is this a commercial? And so I think it was like Madonna first. Yeah. Madonna's first. I didn't even notice that hers. So don't Madonna's honestly, I saw I saw alright. So I've seen highlights since. Right? I've seen, like, clips and shit. Yeah. And, like, Madonna brought out Ronaldinho and did a tribute kind of to Pele. Mhmm. Think he's the guy who passed away from Brazil. And you know, my voice cracked there. But, like, I heard it was good. I heard that like, I've watched clips of that and I was like, alright. It seems alright. So I remember that. Like, I didn't I don't remember that part. Mhmm. And then I see the Muppets doing Seven Nation Army and I was like, you know what? Okay. Yeah. Here we go. Here we go. Sure. Okay. And then it was BTS, which I I enjoyed that part. Who's BTS? BTS is a Korean boy band. Very famous, very famous Korean boy Okay okay okay. I was like, what do mean So it's them. Mhmm. And then it was, I hear Ted Lasso. Yeah, like I And I was like, I looked up and I went, yeah, I know them. So again, I've heard very mixed reviews and like, I heard it was a good show. Mhmm. Then I heard it was like, it was it was over the top, like it wasn't necessary to have these many people out here. I understand why they had that many because it's different people from different Different countries. Countries representing. Yeah. Yeah. And so all the way up until Ted Lasso, it was pretty high energy, I would say. Okay. Because the fucking Muppets. Then Yeah. No, thanks. BTS who were primarily, like, dancers singers and they were singing a very loud Loud. Song. Ted Lasso and then Justin Bieber singing his Hallelujah song about his wife, like, praise Hallelujah, love you, like, and it really on on a on an acoustic guitar, and we like, everyone in the bar was like, Yeah. Yeah. Like, this really brought it down. Yeah. So And then he ended. And then Shakira came out and we were like, okay. Wow. Okay. So yeah. And and again, I didn't watch I I didn't watch the halftime show because I was like, alright, y'all finish the mirror moving and shit, you know I'm saying? And then when I came back, I was like, alright, you know, halftime's over and I'm sitting in the truck again. So I'm like, alright, this is getting good now. Like towards the end, was thinking, we're gonna get some fucking goals. The ball's moving back and forth, you know, blah, blah, blah, time. I'm like, oh shit, we're gonna get penalty kicks again. Because those of you that watched understood that four years ago we got penalty kicks, that's how Argentina won. Mhmm. So I'm thinking, shit, we're gonna get penalty kicks again and the fucking goal happens. And I kid you not, I almost threw my fucking car in fucking drive by accident because I was sitting there like fucking, oh, he's about to oh, because I have it on the dash. I'm, oh, he's about to Yeah. And yeah. So good game for soccer fans. For Spain fans, good game. For everybody else who are haters, y'all didn't really watch the game. Y'all just know that Argentina lost. Mhmm. And that's all they really cared about. I I've seen so many fake ass videos where it's like, oh, we celebrate. Fuck, Messi, you know. I'm like, bro, it ain't that serious. And what I realized is that people really hate winners. I mean, they were cheaters for prime for a lot of They didn't cheat. FIFA cheated. FIFA allowed them to cheat. They didn't cheat. FIFA cheated. And I am glad that they did not win because the no goal call was some bullshit. Yeah. And that would have further I think that would have ruined the entire world cup because it would have been like, oh well, you know, Argentina won and they're so great and Messi did it again back to back. And it's like, yeah, but y'all cheated for them so that this storyline could be pushed. Yeah. And yeah, it wasn't. I'm glad it didn't happen but I mean the the tackling, the taking out, the punching, was after the well, the an extra time, I guess, somebody somebody did get a red card towards the end or after the the beginning of the game. That was towards the beginning of the game. I thought it was at the end. No. Oh, jeez. Pretty sure that was at the beginning. Probably when I fell asleep. But again, like It was the same guy that did the The the the neck then punched the No. No. No. From from the other game, from the England game? Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. See, and and don't get us lying. Like, we're such soccer fans that we're gonna fucking say their names and I don't know who they are. I don't know. I can't probably pronounce half of them. I just learned how to pronounce La Minamal. Mhmm. So which by the way, for being 19 and all the chaos that was had did you see the video where he was like was praying. Praying and being all in grit. The background. The team is over here fighting and shit. We like, bro, like. 20, 30, 40 year olds are fucking Yeah. Like how is this going on behind you? And my man is just like, just not even paying attention to this shit. And I'm like, that's yeah. So when I say I do think though that Argentina has been the bad guy of the tournament. Mhmm. And I think it finally boiled over where it was very childish, you lost, get off the fucking field. But it was also like, I think they couldn't fully under so Argentinians, although they everybody speaks Spanish, Spain, Mexico, also I don't think Argentina has really played against the Spanish country. Mm-mm. So they couldn't really, this is a theory, they couldn't really understand all the shit talking that they was getting. Maybe a little bit with England. Mhmm. Which, you know, whatever. But I think they finally understood and that's why the brawl broke out. It was like, hold on bitch, what you say about my mama? And then it just went like left. And I'm again, theory, complete theory, me watching all this shit that's going down and watching all the clips of the fights and shit after, it's like, they finally understood what motherfuckers was talking trash. Mhmm. I'm glad they didn't win because of the way FIFA was interrupting or the narrative would have been pushed on them being cheaters and shit. It wouldn't even been about Messi. Would have been about cheating, FIFA's corrupt and blah blah blah blah blah. So I you know, listen. It is what it is. I'm I'm really excited to see what the hell Yamal's gonna do because he's got a Euro, I don't know. He's got a Europe cup already and now he's got a world cup. Mhmm. And it's like, he's only fucking 19. Yeah. He got plenty of time to get another one, plenty of time to pass everybody. I mean, hell, he might even pass Mbappe. You know, it's just, it's a, like, it's a lot. So the protege won, which everybody was showing the picture, which is a really weird ass picture. It is a weird picture. I, like When I first saw that picture, was like, what what's what's happening? And I Why is he bathing a child? That is not his child. That he's not family to. And that is the worst haircut I've ever seen before. And then yeah. Like and that and, like and then it's the it's just such a creepy haircut. Mhmm. And then it's like a creepy background. This is all black it's just all red. And then on top of that, on top of that, I know it's Europe, I know it's like, you know, in other cultures, Argentina, South American, I know sex is not like, it's not sexualized until you're a certain age and they think about they're free over there and this, that, that, that's a creepy ass picture fan. Very weird. Like, and people kept sharing that picture and I was just like, this is really fucking weird. Maybe we shouldn't. Yeah. Like, I was like, this feels weird. I was like, I didn't want to share it because I was like, nah, that shit feels really fucking weird. Like, why is he bathing? Why are they taking a picture of him bathing him? Like Mhmm. And then there were more babies. Apparently, there was he wasn't the only one. That's so weird. Very fucking weird. Like yeah. I have so many questions. Was he did he have a pull up on at least? Like, did he, like No idea. You know? I'm just saying. Anyway, France and England had the best game of the world cup though for the third place. It was very entertaining. I felt like they gave up on defense and just said, fuck it, we about to try. We're just gonna keep scoring goals. We're gonna keep scoring and going and going and going. And I really feel bad for England because like, and well France- France lost. France lost, but I feel like France kind of didn't really even care. At the beginning they were- Yeah, they were kind of, we're just here, we don't give a fuck. And you could tell by the body language, everything. But then once they saw England start scoring, were like, oh, you're trying to be disrespectful. They're like, oh, you're actually trying. Yeah. Like, oh, oh, okay. It's time to go. And like, so yeah. Most entertaining game to me, if you like goal scoring and the offense and all that stuff like that, most entertaining soccer game besides maybe Cape Verde and Argentina, that was probably like yeah, that was probably number one because that was crazy. Alright. We off World Cup. It's over. It's officially over. Crown Spain. Trump, get off the stage. Literally, were, like, waiting for him to move and they didn't. And they edited him out of their picture. Well, I mean, we're just standing around like, I mean, this is This isn't your country. Move. This is this is oh, it's his country. It's his it's not his country that won. Mhmm. It but it's just this is a great stadium. I've never been here before looking ass. Like, he was just like, and it's like, hey bro, move. Again, again, I think that some people just don't know how to read the room and he is like, gotta be number he's gotta be top five, dead or alive. He doesn't know what room he's in. I was just saying read the room. I'm that's that was Brie. I didn't say that. Just saying. At any rate, UFC happened. I didn't even know. It wasn't much to to for the Fairweather fan that I am because I don't follow UFC fights entirely. Like, mixed martial arts fight entirely too much for me to keep up, but if there's a good fight on, I'll watch it. Conor McGregor was coming back and had a fight and I really feel like I knew this was gonna happen. I didn't order it. I didn't even I just watched Twitter explode that night. Excuse me. And he scammed everybody in thirty seconds flat. He did some type of he tried to do some type of kick, fucked up his leg and forgot that he was 40 years old or whatever the case may be and everybody was upset with the fight. Like everybody. This was terrible. It was a bad idea and Dana White of all people couldn't think of anything other than to be upset upset with announcers mistaking the professional boxer Sha'Keur Stevenson with Jamil or Jaylen Williams. See, almost fucked up. Jaylen Williams, on the broadcast, and he was just pissed going on about it. I'm like, nah fam, talk about Conor McGregor and that weak ass fucking fight that he had to fucking get TKO'd because his bitch ass tried to do a drop kick that he ain't like, come on man, you out of shape ass bastard. Horrible fight, horrible UFC card. It was just blatantly disrespectful. And then announcers, I know like we'd be in the heat of the moment, but not all black people look the same. Pharrell Williams does not look like ASAP Rocky. ASAP Rocky does not like Pharrell Williams. And then obviously, Shaqur Stevenson does not look anything like Jalen Williams. And I need y'all to fucking get y'all shit together, announcers. You don't have to know who they are, but damn it, that's what you got the earpiece in for. That's why you supposed to wait for the the team to tell you who that person is. Otherwise, just be like, hey. That's somebody, hey, everybody's up in an uproar for him or figure out a better way to fuck it up, to say it without saying you don't know who the fuck that is. Because miss saying these people, like, you could read off all the stats in the world, but you don't know who the fuck Jaylen Williams is. You don't know who the fuck Pharrell. I'm happy. You don't know who Pharrell is? That hat's a giveaway. You don't know who Pharrell. Louis Vuitton. Pharrell. Clips. Louis I'm happy. The biggest song, like probably of all time. Your children know who Pharrell is. Your wife knows who Pharrell, your grandparents know who Pharrell is, but you don't know who Pharrell, like it's almost blatant like I feel like it's on purpose. Disrespect. It is blatant disrespect, but it's I feel like it's on purpose though. You can't even apologize for that stupid shit. Shaqur Stevenson and Jalil are shit. Jalen Williams, I might be able to give you a pass if you're not a boxing fan, which most UFC fans are not boxing fans and most boxing fans are not UFC fans. Completely understand that. But like, you have someone in your ear giving you stats because I know y'all don't remember all these fucking wins and losses, heights, stats, and all this shit like that. You don't remember that off top. Why is it that the stat person or the the people in your ear can't tell you, the producers can't tell you, hey. That's Shaquor Stevenson. Oh, look at Shaquor Stevenson. You don't have to say what he's a champion or he's a middleweight class. You know what? Just, hey, there's Shaquor Stevenson. Like, that's all you gotta say. I just I don't know, bro. NFL news. Mister Swift got married. Yeah. This guest list was crazy. This guest list was absolutely insane. Everybody. Except for Charles Barkley. Charles Barkley didn't go. Yeah. That was But it was everybody. It was This guest list was insane. Yeah. It was a lot of people, but it was also really funny for the Swifties because we not we, them. I was not that invested. I was like, you're a Swiftie? Wait. What? Yes. I am. But, like, I was not as invested, but I was reading Twitter. So there were a lot of so Taylor has always said that when she has a wedding, she's inviting everyone For sure. That has ever been a part of the relationship that she's getting married to. So, like, she invited the person that made her ring to the wedding. She invited the florist. She invited I mean, that's that's not crazy. For normal people, it is. But I wouldn't invite someone that made my ring to my wedding. I mean, I guess I mean, the florist technically should be there. Well, yes. But, like, they Like, We're not gonna guess. Not the florist for the wedding. The florist for The engagement? When he would send flowers to her in different cities. That might have been on Travis though, because Travis might owe that man a bag and he'd be like, hey, you invited. It's it's a woman. But yes. Oh, her. Alright. Whatever. But like they invited That might have been invited everybody that's ever been a part of their relationship. That's crazy. But, like, Taylor Lautner wasn't invited and they're friends. Who's Taylor Lautner? Oh. You fucking kidding me? No. I'm sorry. Yep. Yeah. Moving on. Taylor Lautner? Have you ever seen Twilight? I feel like fucking eyes are burning. Have you ever seen Sharkboy and Lava Girl? Yeah. That's Sharkboy is Taylor Lautner. Maybe they're not friends no more. Anyway, need to move I need to move past the fact that you don't know who Taylor Lautner is. I mean, what has he done for what has he done lately? Okay. He did Twilight. He was Jacob in Twilight. Okay. Yeah. I'm definitely not inviting Jacob from Twilight. He sucked in Batman and he fucking He wasn't in Batman. I thought Jake from was That's Edward. Oh. That's Robert Pattinson. I didn't watch the movies. Robert Pattinson was Batman. Obviously, I'm was like, wait. Shut Look. No. No. He was not. He was. Robert Pattinson. That movie was terrible. It was not. Oh my god. We have our first official argument on movies besides greatest of all time, football and sports movies. That movie was fucking abysmal. It was a good movie. Fuck no. No. It's just he was the dark Batman. That's what he's supposed to be. That shit was terrible. Christian Bale was way better. Woah. Way better. Woah. That's crazy. It's true. Fuck. I would give who was the guy that played Birdman that played Batman? The older God, I'm not gonna remember that. Ben Affleck might have been better than Robert Patton. Seems Pat what'd you call him? Robert Patton? Robert Patton. No. Patton. Richard Patton. What is his name? No. Is it Ed from Ed Ed from Twilight? Edward. Robert Pattinson. Anyway. Anyway. I'm be keeping on with these people. Lot of people were invited to this wedding. And I mean, maybe he had conflicting schedules. He's inactive. There were a few of Might be filming fucking another horrible Batman. Like, Robert Pattinson doesn't know Taylor Swift. He didn't go to the wedding. We were talking about Taylor Lautner. Maybe he was filming something else. Maybe he was filming Shark Boy and Lava Girl reunion. Anyway. So who else wasn't invited that Swifties thought should have been invited? This is interesting. Joey King, which you don't know who that is, but I definitely don't know that name. Yeah. It's it's an actress. She was in a she was in two of Taylor's music videos, and then was really close with some of Taylor's friends. Were they not invited or they just didn't go? We don't know. No one knows. I think probably they were invited and they just probably couldn't go or type shit. Or maybe they just you know, because here's the thing too, like, did you know that Method Man actually has anxiety and does not like big crabs? Did you know I don't know who that is? Jesus Christ. See? See? See? You can't get mad at me when you don't know who the fuck Method Man from Wu Tang is. Not gonna lie, I thought you're saying Minute Man. Oh, Method Man. No, Method Man. What? Minute Man. Woah. Anyway, Method Man admittedly on several podcasts and interviews has said he doesn't like crowds, which is crazy as a, he's a performer, he's a rapper. He's like on stage and on sets now because he does like films and stuff. So you're around a lot of people, but he gets anxiety about it. Like, so maybe these people don't like being around a bunch of people and they knew it was gonna be a fucking circus. That shit was I a mean, it's possible. I don't know. Jake from State Farm or what is his name? Jake from what? I don't know. Whatever. Taylor Lautner. Whatever. Anyway In other news, because we don't I mean, I'm glad they got married. Mhmm. It was such a great thing for them. I heard it was there was a lot of NFL sports. Mhmm. Like, the thing I will say about the married them getting married, it was, like you said, everybody was invited, right? Yeah. So it made everybody's world collide. Mhmm. Like, literally, you would have, like, sports writers next to actresses or singers, and then you would have, like, the not regular Joe Schmo, but, you would have the florist or the jewelers or assistants sitting next to football celebrities and their wives and it was just People like compared it to the Met Gala. Yeah. Like, no. For real. Like it was like a Met it was like the Met Gala, but I'm sure they had more fun than they did at the Met Gala because they were I heard they were cutting up. There was pictures of people dancing and shit like that that has been crazy. That's our They weren't allowed phones. Rumors. I'm sorry. Rumors. Sorry. Rumors. That was about the rules. They weren't allowed to have their phones. I mean, listen. That that's even more Met Gal than anything. But, yeah, I don't know. I just it is what it is. Finally, Kelsey's married. He's still gonna play one more year. Who cares? Chris Johnson, who we talked about last show, is being inducted into the ring of honor for the Tennessee titans. Big shout out to him. They are bringing back the ice challenge. Brie, would you like to do the ice bucket challenge? It's for ALS. You donate money to ALS. You don't wanna do it? Okay. If I let you would you pour the bucket on me then? Oh, no. I don't I don't trust you nor do I trust Ashley. Alright. In NBA news, Golden State won the Summer League championship. Yay. Nobody cares. During the summer league, there was a fight that everybody wanted to see. Everybody wanted to know what happened. There was an altercation between two don't I wanna say superstars, but two stars. Tyler Hero, who just got traded from the Miami Heat to the Milwaukee Bucks, and Bam Adebayo, who was on the Miami Heat, where Tyler Herro just left. And apparently this whole thing stemmed from like a Twitter or ex excuse me, an ex was it fake account? What do they call them accounts? Burner account? I don't know. Something like that. Where Tyler Herro was talking shit about Bam and Bam found out it was his burner account and they got into it. But in the year of the Lord Jesus 2026, not a soul got a video or picture. Not a video or picture. I wanted to see who swung first. I wanted to see if there was like a knockout punch and there was nothing. And the league is not handing down punishment and they just wanna move past it. I felt like that was kinda whack. I thought I thought they were gonna have some video, but apparently there's nothing out there. So at least there hasn't been anything revealed lately. I was hoping that there would be. And with the WNBA booming right now, I know baseball season's going on, but lord have mercy. Did you see the all star game? Our all star break home run derby on Netflix launch? Everybody's talking about the home run derby and all that shit like that. And I'm not gonna lie. I did end up going back and watching the home run derby on Netflix, which I'm glad it was on Netflix because I could go back and watch it. But it was the home run derby. It's the same kinda shit over and over again. I the amount of home runs that were hit were kinda dope. The the crowd being into it and Philly fans being Philly fans and just booing every fucking chance they got and cheering. You know, it was it was it was a very good second round, I'll say, or whatever, but I didn't watch the all star game. I didn't even really know what was going on. Like, the World Cup drowned out baseball. Yeah. Like, completely. I only knew it was happening because of the little, like I don't know if it was their halftime show, if it was before the game started or what, like that video that looked like Sandlot. Oh, that was don't get me lying. I don't know. Mhmm. I think it was before. Yeah. I think it was before. Yeah. Where it was like They did like they're doing like scenes Scenes or or under. Yeah. Again, I didn't watch the game. I just watched the home run derby. I didn't even know what was happening. Facts. Which is crazy to me because Netflix usually does a really good job as far as advertising goes. I did not see that shit anywhere. And I was like, oh shit, it is all star break. None of that shit. I was talking to my parents and I was like, so what sport do we get to watch now? Like, soccer's done. It's taken up all my time. I got nothing. 52 until the NFL. Yeah. And then they were like, oh, there's baseball. And I went, oh. There's WNBA. Okay. Which there is some drama in the WNBA. Excuse me. Man, that shit is making me hiccup like crazy. Toronto Tempo, those of you who don't know who that is, Toronto has a WNBA game. Their coach in a sideline mic'd up situation or I don't know if she was mic'd up. She got picked up saying something about Angel Reese calling her a protected species. She was about, she was upset with the rest for not calling her foul or something like that and saying that I know she's a protected species or something around that, that was basically the gist of it, but call it fair or whatever. At first when I heard it I was like, Then I thought about it again and I was like, wait, bitches, you should call a black woman a species? Are you crazy? Yeah. When I read I was like, I don't think she meant anything to be rude, but But like maybe not the best choice of words. That wasn't the but again, it wasn't the best choice of words. She's been so those of you who don't know, her name is Sandy Brondello. She's been in women's sports apparently for a while, right? And like, I think she was upset and she wasn't even mic'd up. Actually, she wasn't mic'd up. She walked across the court or walked towards the referee's table where actual announcers are and the mic picked her up. Now, granted, doesn't excuse what she said, not excusing what she said, not in any shape or form, don't get it fucked up. Black women, I love y'all. Y'all are not a species. Y'all are one of the greatest things on this earth. But, but I think she was just saying like, we know y'all protect her, her, Angel Reese, and I know she's a star quote unquote type thing, but call it fair. And of course, Reese hears about it, says something on X. Somebody actually tweeted, did Brondello call Angel a black woman a species? And then Angel quote tweeted it or quote replied and said, are we surprised? Tagged the coach and put the clown emoji behind it. Yo, say what y'all want about Angel, that motherfucking gangster shit because it wouldn't have happened, any other player wouldn't have happened like that. Any other player would have been like take the high road type shit. Angel said, nah, I'm tired of taking the high road, fuck y'all. Which I agree with because like she's been compared to an ape, she's been taught, she's a flopper, she's bad, know, they just do a lot of like RG3 in that whole situation. Like they just do too much when it comes to her and it's because she's a star and they hate it because she doesn't do conventional, you know, whatever. And she also went against their darling Caitlin Clark, which we all know which was crazy because it wasn't even that serious. And it's still And it's not that deep. If we wanna be real, Paige is the star of the WNBA right now. And then on top of that, Olivia Miles is probably one of the best players that we've ever seen grace the WNBA so far. Kelsey Plum also has had a lot to say about that. But anyway and it was an uproar. And the coach has later since apologized, and I wanna read the apology because I want y'all's opinion. I want your opinion, Brie. As a woman who, if you were called a protected species, crazy, would you accept this apology? Because it was also done on x where Angel replied Angel said something about it and she's been suspended. By the way, the coach was suspended before the coach was suspended for a game with no pay and then apologized after, I believe. I got the timelines right. And, basically, she said, Angel, comma, I'm sorry. Last night in the emotion of the moment after Naira's, hopefully I'm not butchering that, injury, I used a phrase that I shouldn't have used, and I take full responsibility for that. My frustration was with the officiating, but my words unfairly put the focus on you. Next tweet or next whatever, I also understand that my words carried on impact beyond carried an impact, excuse me, beyond what I intended particularly for black women in our league, and I'm deeply sorry for that. I've spent my career competing with, coaching, and learning from incredible black women. I regret that my words caused hurt to a community I respect so deeply. I have a lot of respect for you as both a player and a person and I sincerely apologize to you, your teammates, and the Dream organization for my comment. Is it enough? Is it enough? As a white woman, I have no comment because That's valid. That's valid. But as someone that has no stake in the game at all Uh-huh. I think it was a good apology. I think it should have been in person, but I understand why it was on Twitter. Yeah. I mean, because it hap every the whole fandom uproar and all the shit that happened, it was on Twitter. So like I think I think she did it. She whoever her PR person did that right. Yeah. I think what she said was genuine. Now if other stuff comes out later from her making some racist comments, then it's a it's not just a one time thing. Yeah. It's a habit. It's a It's habit. Yeah. And then that's a problem. But if it's really, like, I did not mean for what I said to be taken that way Yeah. I think it's a good apology. Whether or not she accepts it is a completely other thing, that's on her. As a black man, I think she should have been fined. I think I don't I don't like getting in women's business because I'll be tell I'm told on a regular basis they had a women's business. But fuck. The the shaking head, yes, was not necessary. But I do think, though, one, the refs should be the refs should have said, that's a tech. If you wanna stop it from happening, the suspensions and the apologies aren't as heartfelt after the fact because you're only ups because it looks it looks like you're only upset or apologizing because you got caught. But then if she said nothing, then she's not apologizing at all. True. So it's a double edged sword. It is a double edged sword, it's a slippery slope. But also, it's if the WNBA wants to create a safe and and expressive because this this is what the WNBA has lived off of for years now and and WNBA has all the eyes on it now with all the contracts and all the the the bargaining agreement and like all everybody is take lacrosse, women's soccer. Like, a lot of sports are taking note of what the dummy NBA did and they are watching. You're setting it's it's it's hard now. You're setting a precedent for the leagues that are coming up. And for women that wanna be in sports coming up, the refs have to be better. To me, the ref should have said, woah, Tech. One more word and you're out. Then if the league suspends her and she apologizes, then it feels like, okay, the league is the knee jerk reaction I feel like is why most of the community probably feels like, yeah, we know you apologize now because it hurt your pocket. But if she would've got a tech right then and there by a referee, either woman or man because there's, you know, whatever, there's ref. I don't know, I don't remember the refs for the game. And it's like, if they would've got if they would've teched her up and then she got suspended later on, why why'd she get teched up? This is what because she said some flagrant shit. Now the WNBA looks like they are taking the proactive rate instead of our actions, excuse me, proactive actions instead of the reactive knee jerk, oh, shit. We got caught. You know what I'm saying? Like and not to say that Brundello is is a racist because she might not be. Again, she's been in women's sports maybe I I wanna say I wanna say women's basketball for decades, like maybe two or two or three. I'm not sure. But I can't remember. WNBA fans don't beat me up. But she clearly has been involved with women's sports for a while. You can't be in women's sports without crossing paths or doing certain stuff and it's never come out that you're a bigot. Like, there's a lot of women that are disgusting and nasty when it comes to women's sports. It in this year and era of Internet, every nothing nothing you can't hide anything. So it would've came out by now, I feel like. But also, again, like I said, I think they should've gave her a tech just off the fact that it's like, because if they would have been like, if she would have said that bitch this, that, and the third, they would have teched her up. And on top of that, it probably would have been fighting words. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, would've which would've been a t. I don't think anybody on the dream team dream team heard her. Otherwise, I think that would've and then again, don't know. I don't know how that would've reacted. Species is crazy though. That's crazy. She probably minced her words for sure. But anyway, now it's time for the beer flight of the night. First up, we have Garage Beer. It is the classic lime beer and it is a small batch brewed, 4%. It's Kelsey's beer. Yep. It's a light American lager. What should I say Mr. Swift? Kelsey Brothers. Should I say Mr. Swift now? Well, it's both brothers, so no. Ah. We like Jason. It is classic like beer with a hint of lime, small batch, crushable, 95 calories. Really light. Smells like a Sprite lime kind of vibe almost, and it tastes like I say this, it's crushable, but it tastes like almost like like a little bit of it it's deceivingly lime water. And I know it's not water. I'm sure I'll get drunk drinking about 12 of these, but, maybe not 12, maybe like 20. But very crushable. Smooth though. I'm not gonna lie. It's very clean. Didn't have any issues. No aftertaste. So if you're trying to get into beer or you don't really like beer, whatever, try, you know, and you like lime, this is for you. Yeah. Next up, we have I'm gonna ruin this. VBCDK? VBDCK. Yeah. VBDCK, Carole Paradise Ale. It is a whopping 5%? Mhmm. It is a golden blonde ale, fruity, light bodied. It's made in Belgium. Belgium. Just because the World Cup is over, doesn't mean we can't respect the overseas beers. Smells fruity. Tastes kinda fruity, but not like overpowering. It's very light on the fruit, very light in general. It's kind of a yeah. It's really light. Just a really light Just a blonde? Just a light blonde. Next up, we have nine zero three Brewers, an American Pastry and London Stout. It a Pastry Stout. Of course. 13%. Oh, yeah. Toffee, graham cracker, peanut butter. Okay. Smells like like you ever had like the you ever had the marshmallow pop tart? No? Yes. I had to think. I haven't had a pop tart in forever. So I was like Damn. Like, that was a long ass pause. Like, Jesus Christ. Because I was like, okay. When was the last time I had a pop tart? And then I started thinking. Because when you first said marshmallow, was like, yeah. And then you said pop tart, but I zoned out for the word pop tart. Let's oh. It's actually really good. So I was expecting more coffee roasted taste. Not at all, really. A little roasted, but it has more of like a it has the pastry. It has more of it to me, if you've ever smelt or had the s'mores pop tart Mhmm. This is what it tastes like in I'm more of and cream Pop Tart. I'm a brown sugar cinnamon Pop Tart kinda guy. Mhmm. But close, close second is the green apples and cinnamon. Ew. What? Oh, you have not tried it. You have not tried it if you say ew. Exactly. I haven't had a pop tart. Yeah. That's true. That's true. But yeah, if you like s'more pop tarts, s'mores pop tarts, you'll really like this. Or yeah. I think it's s'mores. It's like the marshmallow s'mores or whatever the case would be. Really good. Definitely gives pastry. Definitely gives style. It is a little bit of roast on the very, very, very back end. Next up, we have Collective Arts. I said it right this time. And it is New England hazy IPA. Galaxy two ways? Mhmm. It says NEPA on here. It's 6.6%. What is NEPA New England IPA? Yeah. New England IPA. Yes. It is 6.6. Feel like a Inspired jackass by Kid Cudi's timeless words. Up, up, and away. Sure. Those are timeless words. First off, those are not only Kid Cudi what? Yeah. Okay. They lost points for that. Citrus, pineapple, I fuck with Kit Katty. Kit Katty's one of my favorite artists before he started wearing a dress. But, yeah, I fuck with Kit Katty. But what? So Sorry. Earthy pineapple citrus.

It's it has very it's you can taste the fruit. Don't get me lying. I don't know if it's actually pears or not. Don't get me lying to y'all, but you can taste the the the fruit. Almost maybe it's giving a little bit of a hazy with fruit. Like, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, yeah, I know it's New England, but it's given more of a hazy. Excuse me. Not gonna lie, beer of the night tonight was gonna is gonna be hard because I'm thinking pastry style, but I'm also thinking fruit, tropical haze, collective arts. The up, up, away kinda gave like minus points for real. Alright. We're going pastry stout, nine zero three Brewers. Listen, I'm not a stout guy. I've said it again and again. I'm not a sour guy either, but here we are converting ourselves one beer at a time, learning our flavors. Beer of the night goes to nine zero three Brewers. Shout out to nine zero three Brewers. I gotta get my ass out there to East Texas. Man, nine zero three? Anyway, is there anything you would like to talk about tonight, Brie? No? Alright.
