Quaker, official sponsor of FIVA World Cup twenty six You are listening to the Dan Lebatar Sh in partnership with the Draftin Sports A, now live in all fifty states az from the World Cup and you took Somerville's name and just made him buddy earlier. So you might not be the perfect person to ask this question, but the last thirty minutes of that game yesterday, they had two touches in Morocco's penalty box. They got zero shots on goal in the last thirty minutes, they had the ball seventeen cent time So they went to a conservative style. They should have all been wearing Cedric Coward's jersey running around back there and they're getting crushed for it today. I want to talk about penalty kicks for a second because I think they're perfect in the attention deficit disorder era. It's perfect to just make it maximum stakes and just have guys kicking the ball at the goie and it's just a lot of fun. But I wouldn't want to be the favorite and have the game decided by the other team trying to just get me to penalty kicks because then whatever advantages I had before are eliminated and we are now doing something that as I said before, is no longer actually soccer. It's just there's no way there's no movement involved. it' It's It's asinine as a concept, even though there are no better ones in all the time with this very primitive game. we haven't figured out a way. You can't have them go seven over timimes. The bodies can't handle that. So you have to have something that decides the game and while it's entertaining, you'd agree with me that it's not a great metric for who's deciding who's better, right No, of course not, but're you're saying this as if this is a new strategy. Wouldn't a strategy like this where you got one team who is significantly better than the other They're trying to avoid going to penalties because that winds up leveling out the differences between the two teams likeike this can't possibly be a new strategy. No it's not. It's not This has been something that on the international level they've been dealing with since the the nineties. There's no way to stop it. right And I actually like that part of the strategy of the game and you want to say that it's not reflective of what the sport is Well, there's a reason why they went to this because long drawn out golden goal type competitions were also bastardizing the sport. And that was before possession had such an emphasis on it where you see a team like Japan chasing the ball being dog tired hoping against hope that they can just get the penalty kicks because they are being run out of a Buing. That's not a true way to determine who's best either. The penalty kicks, I've got to assume wherever it is that you are, you will stop and watch that. Oh ye If you are somebody who doesn't care even for the sport, the idea that you're watching, as I've said before of the World Cup, We have all the sports here. We have fifty teams in just New York play a bunch of different sports, but so many of these countries, those colors are what they wear around because it's their only thing. They don't have anything else. This is so much bigger than the Olympics in terms of patriotic pride is the greatest thing that you have in sports, but especially in these, I can't even imagine what it's like in Morocco. I can't imagine what it's like in these small countries where they're looking at things and they're knocking off giants. Dan, this is the biggest rift between me and Whitty and Mike is that put so much emphasis importance on club play and I keep telling them. you guys can say that. you guys could say, all the best players in the EPO whatever. But if you poll every single one of those players and say, what is the greatest accomplishment you can have, they will all say to a man to win a World Cup. That is the number one thing on everyone's mind who plays this game, whether you're barefoot in a vacant lot Salo Paolo or you're playing in an academy with manicured grass and all that stuff. Everyone's dream is this thing. It happens once every four years and it is man, I was getting into this last night with my co host on the radio. I was doing freency radio and NBA radio. He just couldn't understand.' like what do you mean Messy iss more popular than LeBron And I was like, buddy, you're putting me in a horrible situation here where I have to be the guy who defends Messy and has to stick up for him. but I'm likei It's not on an NBA radio. But it's not even close. It's not even close. And so I said, this is one metric and it's just a rough one. I said, how many Instagram followers do you think Libron hats' like a hundred billion, it's a hundred and fifty. one hundred and fifty million I said, how many things Messy has? So he probably has more? was like two hundred fifty? I was like, It's four hundred fifty five hundred eleven million followers. Dude, half a billion people follow this guy. and his response, I swear to guys is like, Yeahah, but how many of those are bought? I love the international game. I think the point that you're referring to is maybe the quality isn't as good, but even the quality of the international game were was compompared to the club game not as good. That's changing too. because of all the data afforded to these coaches and coaches that have Okay, getting to be a credential coach In Europe is a process. You have to go through training. It is an education. You go through teers, you get your medals and you go through an academy to become a coach These coaches are so smart. They have so much data available to them. I was always like, man, let's counterattack for the USA. Let's dig deep We don't have these guys in Camp for long and kick it deep and use our athletes and we changed our style because Training methods are different. The science is different and we figured that that was a best way to use our athletes. So the international game I think is becoming way more appealing into your point about PKs that transcends. You can get someone that hates actively hates soccer And if they're walking past a bar television and they see PKs on, they're going to stop Whereas if it's golden goal, they'll just keep moving on with their day. How did Ted Lasto get the job How How would you guys feel about the Super Bowl being decided in overtime by all of the players coming out and having to kick the football through a swinging tire I'm asking the question. Yeah. now I'm not I'm no longer making it a the quarterbacks throwing you through a swing tire because I think we'd all like that I think all of us would enjoy both quarterbacks going at each other with a swinging tire, but now I'm just making it five guys from each team have to come out here and they have to kick the ball they have to kick the ball through a swinging tire. How would you feel about the Super Bowl being decided that way by some sort of skills competition? But then when you said, oh, I have to switch it from the quarterback because that would be too fun. That's the point That's what PKs are. It's like, this isn't football, but it's like it's fun. And so that's that's the idea there. I think People would actually like it more than just interminable overtime period after overtime period after overtime period The dolphins winning the Super Bowl from throwing a ball through a tire be a little bit of a letdown. And I imagine most of these games without the penalty kicks probably end on a penalty kick as we saw with Japan who is so disciplined when you get fatigued, you make mental mistakes uncharacteristically so as Japan made one in their own end. you get tired And what will happen is you'll have someone dragging their leg inside the box and a game ends on a PK anyways. Juju put it on the poll. Do fatigue make Cedric cowards of us all at LeBotard show? I wanted to talk about something here that has escaped a lot of attention even though I think it deserves more. Clintast Sood is retiring has retired Now there seems to be some conjecture in his own family about this. He's ninety six years old And one of his sons says he's retired and another one of his sons says I have not heard that come out of his mouth, but Clint Eastwood has worked for seven decades in Hollywood Take a break That has to be one of the most prolific careers there have been. People in Hollywood talk about the way that Clinn Eastwood was directing movies at the end. Have you guys heard about how Clinn Eastwood directs movies? It's like he's running out of time. Like he does not go and do the perfect shot, the perfect shot, the perfect shot. And this may explain why so many of his movies recently have been bad. Ridley Scott's doing the exact same thing Just doing it as quickly as he can, but ninety six years old is an incredible retirement age. ninety six is nuts. I think jur number two is the last movie that he made. You know what I think about when I hear Clint Eastwood.? I always think about him talking to the chair. Like You know, I'm sorry, like, I know we're supposed to be honoring this guy right now. L what a great career and all that. Get out of here, man. Dude talk to a chair, tryry to tell us the chair sell us that that's Obama or whatever. I think of how he became a comedic actor in Grand Torino That movie is hilarious. I think of trouble with the curve with Amy Adams and Justin Timberlake I think of the good and bad and the ugly A yeah what's that Million dollar baby So he's won I think he's won a couple of best picture awards as a director and I think he has won a couple of Oscars as the lead as well. Can you look that up for me, Jeremy, please lookook up for me what Clin Eastwood's resume looks like and Roy. You should find the sound. We play it all the time. We played it all the time on wild Billy Wednesdays. the Good, the bad and the ugly and the spaghetti Western is where Clinastwood made his initial fame. If I if I ask you guys though to take one of his movies and make it the thing that you remember him by, not talking to a chair, not some of the other stuff thats that's apart from that, the Westerns are so long ago Like they they're where it is that he broke in in my top one hundred movie sounds of all time. A topop fifty probably I done this before.t Well, you just can't do a lot better than that. Hopefully top fiftyies a lot. Are you saying like what's his signature role? You'll have some people say dirty Harry, but this might be a generational thing. I know Jeremy hasn't seen it, but you guys have seen the good, the bad, the ugly, right You haven't, Zaz? I don't think I have. ThatZ ain't about movies, and come on. Have you se dollars? All right, Roy Tell me you have.. That's why you're a trivia pick every single time. I mean? Of course, I've seen it. It absolutely holds up. I It is an incredible classic film. Unforgiven is his and that's the nineties, right? That was bringing back the Western. That's among the best modern day Westerns if indeed we can I don't think we can call nineties modern day. It's oldies Did Unforgiven? what were the movies that he won Oscars for? Mystic River Unforgiven and million dollar baby were the only things he won. He won best picture and best director for both of those. He never won a best actor Academy awward. He wasn't that great of an actor. We could say that right? He wasn't that great of an actor. I don't know that was a really good actor. No he wasn't. That was Joe Biden I think I'm all right. That was Joe Biden, Nlin. It really was Joe Biden. You're a good boxer I think you're gonna You're going to be all right. What else did he win best picture B picture for because he's got two of each. Does he not? Does he not have perpetually nominated? It's B Picture and Best director for both of those movies for Unforgiven a million dollar baby. He was nominated For Best Picture and bestest director for Mystic River. He did not win. S won for letters for Iwojima And he was nominated for B Picture for American Sniper, which You know, love that one That's a good one By the way, John Marin fits in perfectly in Portland. Yes, he does. He did win the Golden Globe for Best Director for Bird for unforgiven for million dollar baby and he won best foreign language film for letters from Iojim.ice Thats Iachim is in Japan Were you saying C like is S EA that there's a C near Japan? Like sureurely you were not you were not using Spanish for what what think he was Wh Wh Why did whyy did you what I didn't hear the title of the film. I just he said foreign language and I was Where did you think it was? Right in a roocky point. I know. I'm not gonna to take a quest.

At the end here, about a year ago, Gene Hackman was fairly unrecognizable. in his nineties, no longer looked like the human being that he used to be. Clinieswood retiring at the age of ninety six is fairly extraordinary because he's made a movie When was juror number two made, Jeremy. So he's That one sucked. Yeah, But he was doing movies late into his nineties and I genuinely wonder if you're a Hollywood person in charge of giving out budget Do you give it to the ninety five year old? L Because it seem it seems fairly dangerous for a number of different reasons that I'm hoping don't sound agist. But once you've gotten to ninety five years old, I would think that there would be dangers in giving a movie project over to somebody who might not be able to complete it. You're bartering off of his name and his name recognition within a certain demographic All the older people who remember Clint Eastwood movies still come out. mayaybe it's not for a younger demographic, but for the people whose name his name resonates with because of the great movies that he's directed and slash or produced come out and that's what all Hollywood is now is just like, Do you have a fan base? Do have a following that will come out and support your product? Jurn number two was twenty twenty four. So he' ninety four years old at the time. Man, he deserved a better. He did Sully. You deserved a better goodbye. When you mention I mean, what Hollywood is doing right now, I assume that's what Hollywood and Netflix were doing with that God fororsaken Tony Hinchcliff special, which has it been taken down because it's so bad because it was popular because he's got a following, but it's an affront to stand up comedy and the specials And I think I think they just removed it. I'm stunned that he even put it out. I'm assuming it was part of his kill Tony deal Kill Tony is very popular. but the stand upp special was an abomination. It's one of the least well done things and lazy on top of that. like spectacularly lazy. It was just really bad. I couldn't get through it. H hisis explanation is that he owns the rights to it and so the license with Netflix expired and that's why it was taken down because He owns the rights, He can sell it or lease it out somewhere else. He could put it on his own platform and charge people. A again, this is his explanation. I'm not I know I don't know anybody. I haven't talked anybody. That's a guy. I mean, he should be embarrassed by that. Like that being put out with his name on it is something that he should be deeply embarrassed by. It is so spectacularly lazy to be offensive to anybody who's ever tried comedy or knows what the honor of getting a special is, but it is it is what Netflix is doing some of just grabbing people who have social media followings and throwing them on there because you can Bring their audience over even if it's lazy and dumb what you're doing. So what was your favorite joke to? Yeah. I mean, really, we're gonna to do chicken jokes on black people. That's what we're gonna do. Like that's really what we're gonna do. That's what we're going to do in twenty twenty six Oh Yeah The term spaghetti Western is because a lot of Italians produced and directed those movies. Yes Yeah.. Are you just learning now? you let me ask How old are you? Yeah. Are you a dumb person? What's wrong with you? Are you a dumb person? Dan normally asked me for the origin of stuff. I was just Dumb person. Yeah Yeah, my specialty. Your Clincewood is Joe Biden and those two people Joe Biden's right here, man. He said Domo Origama we're supposed to hear the end of you pay away from the mic. T or mis. Roboto. For those of you who want more Chris Cody, Pablo Tori findinds out features him today. Super smart. He stole the show Chris Cody did on Pablo Tori findinds out in an episode released today where he cops to lowering Pablo Tori standard because I have to be One of the few people in charge of anything who is demanding that his employees lower their standards because Pablo's going to fry if he keeps going at the pace that he is going at. He m wor shows. He's going to short circuit. So I'm actively telling him to lower the standard and he does so today by featuring prominently Chris Cody is right there on Pablo Torere finds out rightight at the center of everything, although you will be denied his Clinesewood Joe Biden impersonation. That's exclusive to this show right here. We will not farm that out to anybody. No one else can have Chris Cody's Clinesewood as Joe Biden. You give him the milk. You can't give away the cow Yeah Yeah. cows and hogs kill more people than sharks. I cannot believe that' so. You guys are not surprised by that at all. I'm assuming that when these polls, when we update these polls with Juju, I'm assuming that the American people and internationally, they will side with me, they will be surprised that cows and hogs kill more people than sharks. We need to start making Cow horror movies. We need to start making a movie like Jaws that is instead mooz. I mean, well, you gott to think of it as a crime of opportunity, Dan, right? Like cows and hogs are around people mostly. You very rarely find a wild cow. It exists, right? But like they're there, right? Meanwhile, sharks They're in the ocean. Often way, way, way, far away from any of us. We don't see them the most of the time. When they come to shore, it's like a shark., Oh my God, a shark's here. And then you add on to that, they don't have a taste for our flesh. They really don't like it. L this is gross. I thought you said this was seal, this doesn't taste like seal. It tastes like, w, I don't know what that is. That's the shark, right? when they taste us. So they don't really attack humans Interested, meanwhile, Hogs They've got a taste for the flesh. They like it I saw a video the other day, maybe they can find it for us of a guy on a kayak who was clearly being trailed by a greatreat White shark. L the Great White Sark was curious about him and he's on a kayak and the Great White shhark is bigger than the kayak. and it's just following him And that guy was paddling terrified with his GoPro just saying, o my go, oh my god, for almost an hour, just trying to get away from a shark that you know, just was super curious about what was happening with that kayak and the size of that kayak because it probably looked like the shape of a seal. That's what it is. So they attack surfers the most because surfers lie on the surfboard and then they paddle. And so for a shark that doesn't have great eyesight, it's looking up the sunlight is coming down and you see a shadow something very wide and long and then little little appendages on the side kind of flpping around. I was like oh, that's a seal. They go up there and oh, that's not. What is this? That's what they do. kayak probably doesn't look quite as much like a seal as a surfer on a surfboard would, but enough for the shark to be like, what is that? Why does the show always make apologies for the shark It's sickening. I have I have a deal with the fgs.y You spit those facts to the the people that lost their lives tragically on the USS Indianapolis. All right, Th sharks seem to like human flesh plenty That's a Nicholas Cage vehicle, right It's a historical vehicle. It's something that actually happened. But yes, there's a movie starring Nicholas Cage that documents this tragedy. Thank you It's actually pretty good And that is why Chris Cody is starring on today's Pablo Tory findinds out, which begins the lowering of Pablo Tory's general standard. Bye, Chris Let's let's go watch Trigger the elevator Let's go to the video, grab some video for me while you guys are looking up that kayaker who's being trailed by a great white shark so that I can show it to everybody because it's horrifying. Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell has been somebody who has not been doing very much lately that has resonated, comedy aging, it usually ages poorly and on top of that Comedy Huge breaking news out of Washington, DC. What This one affects every sport includcluding the World Cup, The Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship Rejecting Donald J. Trump's proposed letter. Yeah That is massive We You UA U We did it Thomas is definitely going to be retiring And that that was done apparently in a backroom deal and Donald Trump is going to get another young Supreme Court justice. That's that's probably the bad news. that and He was awarded the power to fire any independent evaluator that he sees fit in the government. Well let's be happy today. But this' right now. Yeah. lookook give us our thirty minutes. Floe Balligan birthright citizen I really thought we were could get more Bronnie James news. I was looking forBA news. Also, Christopher Morerell has signed with the New York Mets. Yeah Sam Mar's brother. As I was saying about comedies in general have the last ten years of movies. I guess people aren't in the mood to laugh or comedy is harder to make in movie form. I don't know what you guys would say is the best comedy made in the last ten years you had to make a The one that people were talking about together at a time, you know was Hangover and Adam McKay made an assortment of movies from Anchor Man to Step Brothers that were very popular and responsible for funny for a generation. But it's been about ten years since any movie like that resonated. Will Ferrell was at the center of many of these What is he advertising for here? Do you know what this is a commercial for? Well, it's I think it's actually a commercial for his new show, but it's through Sims, which is Kim Kardashian's underwear brand Apparently they do men's. and he is here what looks to me like a speedo, but apparently it's some skim's underwear And he's just look looks I mean, who are we kidding here? He looks good Well, no kidding does not. You must be kidding everybody because his face look's an old man. Look at him. Well, we can all hope. How old is hes Is he approaching sixty? I hope I look like that at sixty. He has to be sixty has to be. No, is he? I think he's in I would guess the mid fifties, but those are tidy whities or ty whitey adjacent and he's doing physical comedy there. hisis face is as thin as it's ever been, but those are not flattering. that That would be fifty eight Dan So he's my age and he's got that belly button you want to avoid. There's no doubt about it. So he's your age. All right Let's compare and contrast. Yeah Silar, G getting your tidy awayite. Yeah great farmer's tan gu. I would rather have Wolfarrow's body than my bodys. So you think that that's what my stomach looks like ' it's not what my stomach looks like, but now you guys for me to do this. That's not a great look for the audio in tomorrow showow, that exact outfit. I the of death. that's for sure. Dam, he loves the costume. I wouldn't love that costume. He's done it before though Yeah. I have, but I trained for that by juicing and by doing an assortment of body paint and stuff.' on pep tides. Distracting techniques and stuff. never want to do it again. I mean, a speedo is aggressive. I don't think there are not a lot of hiding places in a speedo. I didn't think there was any chance I was going to lose that bet. It was LeBron and Waydon Bosch against Durk Novitssky and Deshaun Stevenson. How did I lose that bet How did I didn't think there was any circumstance in which I would lose that bet I didn't think there was any circumstance in which Charles Parkley would pay that bet because he was going to be in the speedo if he lost that bet allegedly. But there's just no way that he would have ever been caught in a speedo. although maybe now, maybe now Charles has lost a ton of weight. Charles Y He he in fact you found it Why was that delivered in Zagaki's voice? You know why I don't know why I don't know why you just did that. Sorry, I'm upset at this ruling. callall it that. Birth citizenship is what you're upset about. I'm happy about it, man. But is that Clinise? No, I'm Joe. His impersonation is just his hand. Like if he doesn't I't know why. If he doesn't do Joe Biden with a hand. comeome on, man, we gotta come together. Hands up, It's Biden. Hands down l D Lbatar. World Rar three. Mike Ryan. We're gonna get that off. World Rar three, Colon. Our group chat has a pretty good feeling about this one. This is the D Leabatar show Papo has on the show again. What do you find out together? Rge Pablo Torory finds out features Chris Cody today and I urge you to listen to Pablo on nexte steps because he's actually this one's interesting to me and I don't think it was it would be something that would afflict any of us here. One of the things that I was talking to Pablo about is the idea of ambition, how lonely ambition can be, and how insatiable ambition can be Immediately after winning the Pulitzer, a prize that not many people in America care about anymore. Pablo cares about it. I care about it, and some select journalists care about it, although I heard from none of them when we won the Pullitzer. Not a single one. I did not hear from a single disappointed you the most I mean, it's just there's so many so many like there's not hear from Corny. There's not a good work. There's not a journalism friend of mine who reached out, not one. Not Michael Ke me in that movie? No but the list of friends They all I guess they all hit me up. I wasm supposed to tell you. Nody reached out, but the winning of a Pulitzer, Pablo's immediate reaction to that, and I found it so curious and it's why I'm in the weird position of urging him at all times to lower his standard slightly so that he can be having more fun and so that he can turn that into the equivalent of a radio show that is personality driven doesn't require all of these deep dive investigations that take so much time. He's doing the hardest thing, the hardest way. And upon winning the Pulitzer, his immediate reaction is Now what are the expectations? Now what's the pressure? And I'm like, what are you talking about behave like you've arrived because you have arrived, you have an audience. The hardest thing to do, the hardest thing to do in this business, an audience that trusts you to take them where you're going. There's nothing harder. You can go ahead and live the rest of your life. You'll find nothing harder than finding the audience that trusts you so much that they'll be loyal to you because they believe that the things you're making are things worth listening to. I can think of something that's a little harder winning a Pulitzer I disagree a lot less pulitzer winners than there are people with audiences They're not Not even Dave Berry. Nobody I heard from nobody. Wow. zero. It really chapped you, huh? I was just surprised by it and it just taught me like a hurt. No, it taught me that people don't care about this thing anymore. likeike it's an obvious to me it was more sad for the industry than it was sad for myself because when I called Pablo to congratulate him, he had to remind me that I had also won a Pulitzer because that we had won a Pulitzer because We're funding everything that Pablo is doing until it has now become a viable business. And I'll tell you guys here, everyone I talk to, everyone I talk to, all of here's another group of friends, my financial friends, my financial advisor, friends. added to the list. All of them said to me before the Pulitzer was one, they're like, Dan, banks don't take awards As a company, you have to make sure that what you're interested in the most is profit, not awards. This award though is a bankable award, but it's not a bankable award that most people who are listening to this care about in any way. And I would argue, I mean, an audience that trusts you and will go wherever it is that you are in sports. I think there are fewer of those than you think there are when every year there are many Pulitzer winners, but there are not many audiences in sports that trust their host to to wherever that host goes, they will follow that host because they trust that the things being made will be good things. I don't know. I mean D you talk about obviously I did a lot of research when it happens like how many times does a sport story win a Pulitz? because again When Pablo told me the news, I said, wow, that's cool. We won the sports Pulitzer He said, No, no. There's no such thing as a sports pulliter. It's just the pullitzer And so when you look at that, the number of stories that are sports related I have one are very limited and they're usually again, stuffed that speaks to anybody, any citizen, regardless of whether they know or care about the sport or not. So a lot of them have actually been local reporting and kind of things of that nature. So I don't think when you talk about a sports a sports story winning a pulitzer, it's comparable to The number of people that we know have audiences and we know it because they find themselves getting all types of deals and stuff because of those audices fair enough, which do you think is more valuable? Let's ask the question that way. whichich do you think is more valuable? An audience that trusts you or a pulitzer thenen The virtue of having something excellent is payment enough N Jeremy Shappy Bob You dont You don't think, Dan thats there's a value that's not I know we live in in a capitalist society and we have to monetize everything. But isn't there a value in there that, hey, I don't get an extra dollar out of this But you're gonna have to call me pullish surprise winning Amino Hasson for the rest of my life Charles' Bricker. Oh The hell sound was that You remember Charles Brger? I don't think you know Charles Brger is? I don't think anybody is going to be calling you Pulitzer Prize winner Amino Hassen for the rest of your life. They have to What do you mean they? They have toe. I correct them Heyy, I'm at a cocktail part. Hey, you got to me my buddy am mean That's not my name. My name is Pit surprisee winning I ammino hat. Are you guys going to come up with a comedy in the last ten years that everyone is everyone who's listening to this would say, yes, that's the one. Yes, that's the one. That's the That's the movie that was made that is funny because that that's a fairly startling thing to have happen, don't you think the fact that we all kind of want to laugh and Movies are an escape, so I would assume that during these particular difficult times, people would want that escape even more. And yet Hollywood is having all sorts of trouble making movies that are funny. I don't know if it's classified as a comedy but I think Barbie was a comedy. No Yeah And And everyone saw that. That's a great one, I mean. Thank you. Pulitz sururpre winner. Thank you. See? Yeah. When I think of Barbie, though, I put comedy a distant second to of our times and about female empowerment making fun of men. So wait, so comedies can't have a story a message in it? Yes, of course, they can When the message is a serious one about our times, it's generally not what I associate with Why are you doing that? I think comedies are empty calories. What do you mean? Why am I doing that? I believe it was nominated by the Golden Globes as a best pictured comedy. You know what, Dan? it was the Martian, by the way. Oh That's not a comedy. It was a real knee slapper. Why are you tearing it down, Dan? I mean why do you always May I give you some feedback, Har Yeah You often do this where you're like, can someone answer this question for me And we like we are like let's get in this question answer. Let's do our very best. Let's put our minds together. Let's give him answer that'll make him proud. Yeah you know what he does? What That's not good enough. I'll try. Let me move the goal post. Barbie's a comedy. Put it on the poll. W Barbie a comedy at Lebotard show And then put it on the poll as well. Was Barbie first and foremost a comedy. There you go You're literally picking up the goal posts and moving them to the next county You know what's funny about that saying you can move the goal posts and the scoring place still becomes the same. The goal posts like you can move the goal posts all you want, but the goal line stays where it is. That's where the touchdown is. moveove the goal posts back and forth all you want. the scoring is the same at the goal line. Why don't you ever get a piece of helpful information from us and say guys don't Yeah What is it that you said Do you remember what it is that you said? Ogama So how would you feel about the Super Bowl being decided by just bringing the kickers out and kicking field goals Many of them are so many Super Bowls are decided this way. so many huge games are decided You a sumo wrestling match between your biggest players in the middle of the field, you put a circle suumo. If you're if you're arguing whether like soccer actually has it right because you'll have the moment where Messio Ronaldo step over the ball in the NFL. It's not Tom Brady It's Gastowski What if what if the NFL had penalty shootouts with field goals, but not with the kickers. You got to like so I gott to see what kind of lake my homes has Zach Seler out there trying to kick a field goal. They could be a little bit like Greg Cody, Terz Quad. Why were you on NBA radio arguing pro messy when I think you are America's foremost messy critic? I Well, I host the show. That's why I was on NBA radio. But so as I was mentioning earlier, my co host just could not believe that Messy was a far bigger deal than LeBron. And I said, it's not even close. And so he's like,, what about this? What about that? And so I said to him What's the second biggest sport in the world And he says, cricket. I said, okay. yeah. Cricket's number two Then I said, name He couldn't. I said, that's my point that you can acknowledge that there's something massive out there, massive that is completely out of your purview. So yes, it is possible that the most popular play player, the most popular athlete in the world is Leo Messi, even though you exist in this bubble where LeBron is the biggest thing ever. If Messi is the most famous person in the world, who's second Do you go into entertainment to grab second or is it gonna to always be an athlete like If Messy is indeed
