Wherever you are, we hope it is good.

00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:17.644
Welcome to another edition of geeks who like sports.

00:00:17.644 --> 00:00:23.725
As always, I am ray carcillo in beautiful los angeles, california, to have the best for the entire world over in Philadelphia, pennsylvania.

00:00:23.745 --> 00:00:25.829
Beautiful Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Say it right.

00:00:25.850 --> 00:00:26.370
It's all right.

00:00:26.852 --> 00:00:27.993
Beautiful Philadelphia.

00:00:27.993 --> 00:00:29.786
You had an earthquake today.

00:00:29.786 --> 00:00:31.283
Don't tell me it's beautiful.

00:00:31.283 --> 00:00:31.946
Oh, that's right.

00:00:31.986 --> 00:00:32.969
Actually, we did have an earthquake.

00:00:33.140 --> 00:00:34.569
We've been having earthquakes the last couple of days.

00:00:34.569 --> 00:00:35.844
I took a nap.

00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:38.389
I napped yesterday through our earthquake.

00:00:38.389 --> 00:00:40.027
It was like at this point, earthquakes right.

00:00:40.027 --> 00:00:48.189
Oh, the oh, the room is shaking whatever beautiful los angeles where the earth shakes and not in a good way.

00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:49.456
I'm in philadelphia stable philadelphia, pennsylvania.

00:00:49.456 --> 00:00:51.746
Well, stable is not a good word either for here now I'm thinking about it.

00:00:52.069 --> 00:00:56.429
No have fun with your blizzards in the winter so we haven't had blizzard here in years.

00:00:56.729 --> 00:01:01.283
Give me a break, I'll take a blizzard over an earthquake you know what you get you.

00:01:01.323 --> 00:01:06.430
The earthquake lasts only a couple of minutes I'd rather shovel snow than rubble it's.

00:01:06.430 --> 00:01:07.971
We haven't had a rubble.

00:01:07.971 --> 00:01:09.995
Don't don't, no, no, don't do that.

00:01:09.995 --> 00:01:10.674
Don't do that.

00:01:10.674 --> 00:01:10.775
What?

00:01:10.796 --> 00:01:11.600
are you doing?

00:01:11.661 --> 00:01:12.742
right, right.

00:01:12.742 --> 00:01:23.888
It's been 30 years, at least this part of la yeah, yeah, right, shut up now let's go big one, baby, let's go.

00:01:23.909 --> 00:01:25.971
The guy has a 4.5 earthquake.

00:01:25.971 --> 00:01:28.242
He's like we haven't had a big one, like dad shut up.

00:01:28.242 --> 00:01:29.986
Man, that might have been the opening choir.

00:01:29.986 --> 00:01:39.644
That was the preamble to what's about to become 2012, where that movie with the rock, the san andreas movie, which was really ridiculous, but it was very rocky ray today.

00:01:39.644 --> 00:01:42.962
Uh, we're not doing a door dash dash of the week, we're back to, uh, non-sponsors of the week.

00:01:42.962 --> 00:01:51.010
I'll tell you you why I have a special guest here, ray, I have a special guest with me today, oh, I have a little baby pool with me here today.

00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.221
Compliments of Regal Cinemas Ray.

00:01:54.221 --> 00:02:05.960
Not only can Baby Pool hold a drink and I'm not going to shave it, there's a place here for this to seat the drink but Also a popcorn bucket.

00:02:05.960 --> 00:02:06.067
I'm going to open it for you, hey Greg.

00:02:06.067 --> 00:02:06.772
Guess what's still inside Popcorn?

00:02:06.772 --> 00:02:07.177
I'm eating the popcorn from the movies.

00:02:07.078 --> 00:02:07.418
I saw last Friday.

00:02:07.418 --> 00:02:11.531
I was going to say stale popcorn, I'm telling you it's fresh, it's delicious.

00:02:12.681 --> 00:02:17.251
But babe, this baby pool, you might look at this and go, I wouldn't get that.

00:02:17.251 --> 00:02:20.042
And I was in the theater, I was looking at it.

00:02:20.042 --> 00:02:21.485
I'm like I'm not going to get that.

00:02:21.485 --> 00:02:22.326
And I was looking at it.

00:02:22.326 --> 00:02:24.131
I was like, nah, I'm not going to get that.

00:02:24.131 --> 00:02:25.554
And the guy goes what do you want?

00:02:25.554 --> 00:02:28.251
I'm like I'll take a baby pool please.

00:02:28.251 --> 00:02:31.348
That's how that went and I don't regret it because of the show.

00:02:31.460 --> 00:02:32.866
For those of you watching, you can see it.

00:02:32.866 --> 00:02:34.782
For those of you listening, you can't Listen.

00:02:34.782 --> 00:02:39.701
The craftsmanship on this For a toy, it's really good.

00:02:39.701 --> 00:02:41.443
I mean I'm going to put this up to the camera.

00:02:41.443 --> 00:02:44.405
You can see like it's got the, the gray, you know what's it called?

00:02:44.405 --> 00:02:47.127
The texture on him, like the suit texture.

00:02:47.127 --> 00:02:47.907
He's got two bottles.

00:02:47.907 --> 00:02:55.853
He's sitting in a car seat and on the way home from the theater, ray, I saw it with our producer Caitlin and she just put in the back seat, clearly doesn't have kids.

00:02:55.853 --> 00:03:02.638
I said you got to put the seatbelt on Right, them both in um, and they got here safely.

00:03:02.638 --> 00:03:07.704
But baby pool, regal cinemas with your delicious popcorn that does not go stale in the baby pool.

00:03:07.704 --> 00:03:08.907
I'm gonna have a little bit more right now.

00:03:08.907 --> 00:03:11.140
Uh, you are a non-sponsor of the week.

00:03:11.181 --> 00:03:20.606
Thank you so much oh goodness, we are gonna get into deadpool and all the other fun stuff later we have a big show for everybody.

00:03:20.606 --> 00:03:24.044
We got obviously some a handful of announcements out of comic-con.

00:03:24.044 --> 00:03:25.109
We've got some.

00:03:25.109 --> 00:03:27.026
We've got more strikes going on.

00:03:27.026 --> 00:03:29.276
We've got deadpool, and wolverine is going to lead the geek way.

00:03:29.276 --> 00:03:32.467
We've got all kinds of tv and video game news.

00:03:33.108 --> 00:03:35.032
Hmm, was that the deadpool wolverine come out?

00:03:35.032 --> 00:03:35.962
Nobody's talking about it.

00:03:35.962 --> 00:03:38.555
So yeah, yeah, nobody's talking about it, I'm just trying to get.

00:03:39.016 --> 00:03:41.362
I'm just trying to uh really quickly.

00:03:41.402 --> 00:03:48.335
I want to look up the box office, oh it's top first off top 10 all-time ever releases, not just rated R.

00:03:48.335 --> 00:03:51.622
I believe it is the number one rated R release of all time at this moment.

00:03:52.205 --> 00:03:53.068
Yes.

00:03:53.348 --> 00:03:53.889
Yeah, no, okay.

00:03:54.481 --> 00:03:54.963
I wanted to be.

00:03:54.963 --> 00:03:59.400
Yeah, I wanted to be sure, I thought that's what it was, but we are in the opening weekend.

00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:12.620
We're going to get into the more of this later, but in the opening weekend, worldwide, just under half a billion dollars worldwide, quarter a billion here in the states alone and another quarter of a billion worldwide.

00:04:12.620 --> 00:04:15.408
Yeah, I think a few people went and saw this movie, lee.

00:04:15.408 --> 00:04:17.375
I think r-rated marvel works.

00:04:17.375 --> 00:04:20.564
Anyway, what we're gonna get into, we're gonna get into that later.

00:04:20.564 --> 00:04:25.192
Uh, because we're actually gonna kick things off with some baseball talking.

00:04:25.192 --> 00:04:28.124
Baseball, baby, we are talking, talking about things heating up.

00:04:28.124 --> 00:04:29.105
It's hot.

00:04:29.146 --> 00:04:38.600
So if I, we, oh folks, we are two hours away popping we are two hours away from the trade deadline coming to a close and everybody's making moves.

00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:44.192
This is one of the most frantic baseball trade deadlines we've seen in a while.

00:04:44.192 --> 00:04:47.918
Um, goodness gracious, I mean, I, I we're.

00:04:47.918 --> 00:04:50.524
There's still tons of rumors going on.

00:04:50.524 --> 00:04:59.192
The dodgers have been super hot, the mets have been hot, the yankees, the phillies, the, the diamondbacks, uh, cleveland, a lot of t.

00:04:59.192 --> 00:05:00.637
It is clear who is we.

00:05:00.836 --> 00:05:05.024
I thought the picture was gonna be very muddy, who was gonna be buyers and who was going to be sellers.

00:05:05.024 --> 00:05:12.956
Oh no, it came pretty quickly, very clear who's buying, who's selling, and we've got moves being made.

00:05:12.956 --> 00:05:16.141
I mean, lee, we can start with your Phillies.

00:05:16.141 --> 00:05:23.449
You guys sent Sir Anthony Dominguez to Baltimore for Austin Hayes, baltimore, of course, making a bunch of moves.

00:05:23.449 --> 00:05:29.949
But you guys currently holding the best record in baseball, uh, second game of three against the yankees tonight.

00:05:29.949 --> 00:05:32.416
Uh, yankees will warren.

00:05:32.416 --> 00:05:39.552
Uh called up emergency start because garrett cole late scratch, which only is going to heat things up.

00:05:39.552 --> 00:05:42.127
We're gonna folks, this is gonna be coming hot and heavy throughout the show.

00:05:42.127 --> 00:05:48.257
Yankees are in the starting pitching market now, maybe because of the call injury suddenly, yeah yes, alex cobb.

00:05:48.416 --> 00:05:55.100
Just literally as the show was starting, alex cobb traded from the giants to cleveland to help their starting pitching.

00:05:55.100 --> 00:05:58.187
Uh, we've got yankees making moves to the bullpen.

00:05:58.187 --> 00:06:02.021
We've got, uh, baltimore making moves to the bullpen.

00:06:02.684 --> 00:06:28.588
Uh, I really don't even know where to start I'm looking at the tracker right now, we might have some stuff happen here on the show, literally as the show goes on, we are going to have moves being made, but Yankees just got Mark Leiter Jr from the Cubs for a pair of prospects to help out the bullpen, also supposedly trading now to make room for that move, sending the awful, awful Caleb Ferguson to Houston for what's sounding like cash considerations.

00:06:28.629 --> 00:06:29.209
That's official.

00:06:30.730 --> 00:06:31.279
That is official.

00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:37.384
So, lee, what are your thoughts on the trade deadline so far, with two hours to go?

00:06:39.060 --> 00:06:43.848
You know it's interesting, ray, I'm going to go a little bit of a different direction with this.

00:06:43.848 --> 00:06:55.067
It's just, it seems like we know the teams that are going to go for the World Series a little too much, and I don't know if I like that from a parity standpoint, keeping in mind my team is leading the pack.

00:06:55.067 --> 00:07:00.310
I'm saying that, but, look, I understand bolstering a roster right now.

00:07:00.310 --> 00:07:05.670
What I always wonder about is the chemistry and the team cohesiveness that comes with changing a roster.

00:07:05.670 --> 00:07:07.735
It can be devastating if you're not careful.

00:07:07.735 --> 00:07:13.007
Yes, you know, and it was funny, rob thomas the, the phillies manager, was talking the other day.

00:07:13.007 --> 00:07:15.062
You know we, we had to, we had to release some players.

00:07:15.062 --> 00:07:18.134
Um, yes, we talked about the difficulty.

00:07:18.134 --> 00:07:20.521
He's like I, this guy's a great locker, locker room guy.

00:07:20.521 --> 00:07:22.105
Talk about a walker, I believe.

00:07:22.105 --> 00:07:25.471
Um, and just, you know, he's like we, like the guy.

00:07:25.471 --> 00:07:29.014
It just doesn't fit and we got to do it and everybody here's got to understand the mission.

00:07:29.035 --> 00:07:30.180
Yeah, you know what I mean.

00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:34.478
Yeah, and rob thompson is good about keeping people on in line for that's his role.

00:07:34.497 --> 00:07:37.505
Yeah, I mean, I mean arguably the best manager in baseball at the moment.

00:07:37.505 --> 00:07:41.242
So it's uh, it's tough, right, but look, when you want to win, you understand.

00:07:41.242 --> 00:07:44.548
I mean, I know the phillies like the example, because I hear about them a lot.

00:07:44.548 --> 00:07:47.093
But the idea is now you're coming here, we're here, we're here to win a world series.

00:07:47.093 --> 00:07:48.983
So if you're coming or going, that's, that's the thing.

00:07:48.983 --> 00:07:54.966
And the incoming players have said that, like man, I'm just happy to be here, right, yes, um, but we'll see.

00:07:54.966 --> 00:07:56.730
I, I, two hours is plenty of time.

00:07:56.730 --> 00:08:06.666
Um, my guess is, the deals that are going to be done are already done, but we don't know about them yet yes, yeah, or they're just hammering out details, and, of course, the other thing, too, is look for the phillies again.

00:08:06.687 --> 00:08:07.791
I'm just using that as an example.

00:08:07.791 --> 00:08:11.629
Yeah, top team in baseball, bats are a little cold at the moment, which happens.

00:08:11.629 --> 00:08:14.281
Yeah, you really want to mess with that lineup right now.

00:08:14.281 --> 00:08:16.533
You really want to mess with the lineup too much right now?

00:08:16.533 --> 00:08:19.302
That pitching is always something to mess with on any team.

00:08:19.302 --> 00:08:20.466
Sure, I don't.

00:08:20.466 --> 00:08:20.685
You know.

00:08:20.685 --> 00:08:21.709
Okay, bats are cold.

00:08:21.709 --> 00:08:24.475
Yeah, it's it's July, it's almost August.

00:08:24.475 --> 00:08:26.079
They'll keep back up again.

00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:28.127
Just you know, you got a nice 10 game, nine game.

00:08:28.980 --> 00:08:31.187
Yeah, you got plenty of room, you got plenty of a cushion.

00:08:31.187 --> 00:08:32.243
Right, you're going through.

00:08:32.243 --> 00:08:33.687
You swept, you're going through a stretch.

00:08:33.687 --> 00:08:39.407
Right now You're four and 10 in your last 14, to be fair, I mean as a Yankee fan, obviously we know we've.

00:08:39.407 --> 00:08:43.871
I were 12 and 23 in our last 33 or 35.

00:08:44.192 --> 00:08:45.514
Yeah, coming back it's all in front of you.

00:08:45.514 --> 00:08:48.418
Right, it's, but that's the problem.

00:08:48.418 --> 00:08:56.701
That's what the problem is is that, again, I hate our manager more than anything and I, I, I hate, like I want you to hold these guys accountable.

00:08:56.701 --> 00:09:01.524
Be like yeah, we're not hitting the, but we're not swinging well right now.

00:09:01.524 --> 00:09:02.044
We got to be better.

00:09:02.044 --> 00:09:04.086
Like, not, it's right in front of us.

00:09:04.086 --> 00:09:05.687
It's right in front of us.

00:09:05.687 --> 00:09:07.229
I give you more bubble gum.

00:09:07.229 --> 00:09:08.470
I'm giving you more bubble gum.

00:09:08.470 --> 00:09:09.410
That was right in front of us.

00:09:09.630 --> 00:09:12.153
I'm going to change up the lineup for the ninth time in nine days.

00:09:12.153 --> 00:09:17.197
I'm Aaron Boone, right at the coattails of a home run I hit 20 freaking years ago.

00:09:17.197 --> 00:09:27.769
But I will say this Very excited to get Jess Chisholm from the Marlins, who immediately says because Aaron Boone's like, can you play third base?

00:09:27.769 --> 00:09:32.535
And he's like I've never done it, but I'll play it because I want to be a Yankee and I want to win.

00:09:32.535 --> 00:09:39.841
By the way, I thought it was funny that he took a Rod's number and then started playing and played third base for us, but which also, by the way, like Glaber Torres.

00:09:39.841 --> 00:09:44.547
Talk about a guy who at this point now needs to go just because of his locker room.

00:09:44.547 --> 00:09:47.730
This when the Yankees went to Glaber Glaber.

00:09:47.730 --> 00:09:48.712
Do you think you could play third?

00:09:48.712 --> 00:09:50.794
I'm second baseman, I play second.

00:09:50.794 --> 00:09:51.416
I only play second.

00:09:51.535 --> 00:09:51.596
No.

00:09:52.539 --> 00:10:10.788
And, by the way, glaber Torres is categorically the worst second baseman in baseball, leads the league in errors and since starting it, since becoming the second baseman in 2018, gleyber Torres is categorically the worst defensive second baseman in all of baseball and has been for a long time.

00:10:10.788 --> 00:10:17.624
Please trade him for a bucket of baseballs and a plate of nachos, please, please, get rid of him.

00:10:17.624 --> 00:10:18.927
I hate him so much.

00:10:18.927 --> 00:10:20.049
He's awful.

00:10:20.871 --> 00:10:21.572
Here's one for you, ray.

00:10:21.572 --> 00:10:26.679
Paul DeJong just got traded to the royals from the white socks.

00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.928
The white socks are playing the royals right now, so he has to go to.

00:10:29.948 --> 00:10:30.951
That's fun, he just goes.

00:10:30.971 --> 00:10:35.916
He walks across the blade hey guys, good to see you well, that's a bit.

00:10:35.936 --> 00:10:40.816
That's a good pickup, for that gives kansas city some infield depth that, uh, they've been having.

00:10:40.816 --> 00:10:46.634
They've been looking to fill second base for a couple of years, ever since whit merrifield went up to Toronto and then to Philly and now he's in.

00:10:47.020 --> 00:10:48.306
We just released him, didn't we Merrifield?

00:10:48.306 --> 00:10:49.068
And now he's in Atlanta.

00:10:49.068 --> 00:10:49.923
Yeah, when you released Whit.

00:10:49.943 --> 00:10:53.946
Merrifield and now he went down to Atlanta to replace Ozzie Albies, who is likely out for the rest of the year.

00:10:53.946 --> 00:11:00.447
Atlanta made a splash bringing back former World Series MVP Jorge Soler, for basically nothing from the Giants.

00:11:00.447 --> 00:11:05.855
Speaking of guys who left, I thought to your point.

00:11:05.855 --> 00:11:11.365
The Yankees released Jemai Jones, who was a utility man who the Yankees need to make room for.

00:11:11.365 --> 00:11:24.629
When they signed Jazz Chisholm, they traded for him, I mean, and Aaron Judge hit a home run up in Fenway and did his celebration with Jemai that he used to, with nobody there in the dugout because he was like my buddy got cut.

00:11:24.629 --> 00:11:27.004
But it happens.

00:11:27.024 --> 00:11:29.426
That's how it goes, especially that's how it goes right now.

00:11:29.783 --> 00:11:30.778
It's like they didn't have a spot for him.

00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:35.885
Yeah, they didn't have a spot for him and they unfortunately had to let him go, and that's the way it works.

00:11:35.885 --> 00:11:38.970
But yeah, yankees have won three in a row.

00:11:39.299 --> 00:11:47.745
Not ready to say we're back just yet, but obviously it's big that we took two or three from boston up in fenway.

00:11:47.745 --> 00:11:49.513
You went tonight with that situation you're back.

00:11:49.533 --> 00:11:50.176
I think that's fair.

00:11:50.176 --> 00:11:54.369
Yeah, I think that's fair, especially because we have a and after tonight, even if we lose tomorrow.

00:11:54.389 --> 00:11:58.860
Yeah, if we take the series from the phillies I don't, I don't think you win tonight, but if you do, you're back right.

00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:02.245
And then the thing is is that then the yankees have a very soft schedule.

00:12:02.245 --> 00:12:16.653
The next nine games, because we have the Angels, the Blue Jays, who have been one of the big sellers so far has been Toronto, and then the White Sox, who are on a historic losing pace right now.

00:12:16.653 --> 00:12:18.166
They've lost 15 in a row.

00:12:18.166 --> 00:12:21.831
They are almost 60 games under 500.

00:12:21.831 --> 00:12:27.471
The White Sox folks, this is a disaster for for the south side.

00:12:27.471 --> 00:12:31.659
Uh, I mean I get it's great that they're selling everybody so they do have a bright future.

00:12:31.659 --> 00:12:42.908
They have a stacked minor league system but as of right now, white socks fans are suffering like this is historically bad at this point of the year.

00:12:42.908 --> 00:12:46.214
Um, I can't remember the last time I've seen it.

00:12:46.214 --> 00:12:55.942
I mean there was a detroit tigers team about 20 years ago that it was about this bad and obviously they turned it around and with verlander for there for a while and scherzer, and made a couple of runs at the world series.

00:12:56.001 --> 00:13:04.971
But right now the white socks are going through it and that paul de jong trade yeah, it's a big deal for them to send to Kansas City, kansas City, cautious buyers.

00:13:04.971 --> 00:13:08.009
They made a move for a pitcher, they got Lorenzen from Texas.

00:13:08.009 --> 00:13:10.460
They got the obviously backup infielder and Paul DeJong.

00:13:10.460 --> 00:13:12.525
Maybe they can provide some second base stability for them.

00:13:12.866 --> 00:13:14.451
But Kansas City knows where they're at.

00:13:14.451 --> 00:13:15.722
They're building towards the future.

00:13:15.722 --> 00:13:17.668
They have a wild card currently.

00:13:17.668 --> 00:13:21.524
Currently they are a game up on Boston for the final wild card in the American League.

00:13:21.524 --> 00:13:30.524
But they also don't want to trade away future, knowing that they are on the up and up in what has really historically been a soft division, even though Cleveland going all for it.

00:13:30.524 --> 00:13:42.288
Getting Lane Thomas from Washington yesterday, wow, solidifying that lineup, a guy who has 28 steals on the year, obviously a little pop good fielder as well for the outfield.

00:13:42.288 --> 00:14:02.159
But yeah, lee, like you said, the buyers are buyers, the sellers are sellers and this very clearly shook up more clearly than it has in years past, because there are teams that are right in the bubble that are like no, we're usually who are buyers, like the Diamondbacks, and who are buying, but a lot more sellers than I expected.

00:14:02.220 --> 00:14:10.764
Well, here's the thing in Major League Baseball and this is what's interesting about this time of year is, like you know, a lot of copycat stuff that goes on and it's an arms race.

00:14:10.764 --> 00:14:12.166
Right, you get this guy, you got to get this guy.

00:14:12.166 --> 00:14:16.586
But then last year you see, the Diamondbacks kind of come out of nowhere and they're there.

00:14:16.586 --> 00:14:28.904
So I think decisions like this are tough, like you have to look at the long-term success of the team.

00:14:28.904 --> 00:14:32.373
Um, honestly, like the phillies, the orioles, the yankees, yeah, I mean, does anybody else in the nl scare you right now?

00:14:32.373 --> 00:14:33.481
Like the phillies, if they're hot?

00:14:34.884 --> 00:14:35.687
I mean the dodge.

00:14:35.767 --> 00:14:43.947
If the dodgers put it together, sure like like so let's just go with those four teams like yeah, from a decision, big, big time buyers too at the deadline.

00:14:43.967 --> 00:14:51.606
Yeah, from a decision making standpoint, purely from that standpoint, those are world series ready teams.

00:14:51.606 --> 00:14:54.562
And you do have to and again, this is where fans get lost.

00:14:54.562 --> 00:14:57.591
Those teams I just mentioned are world series ready.

00:14:57.591 --> 00:14:59.485
They could win the world series this year.

00:14:59.485 --> 00:15:00.408
Not guaranteed to win?

00:15:00.408 --> 00:15:02.625
Yeah, probably a little bit of a higher percentage.

00:15:02.625 --> 00:15:14.730
So, yes, there is an equation that you have to make of okay, if I sell the farm or I make a bad move right now, it could hurt us in five years, right, but if you win the world series, it will have been worth it a hundred percent.

00:15:14.770 --> 00:15:17.292
These are, that's the type of decisions these gms have to make.

00:15:17.292 --> 00:15:20.222
And I'll be honest with you people out there most of you couldn't make these decisions.

00:15:20.222 --> 00:15:25.052
Yeah, most of you would splurge everything, destroy, destroy your organization or you'd be too conservative.

00:15:25.052 --> 00:15:28.500
Yeah, you have to have some guts to to to make decisions.

00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:33.881
They're going to help you win and there's no guarantees, right, if you run into a team where someone's hot that you didn't expect that you can lose.

00:15:33.881 --> 00:15:36.109
But you have to have the guts to make the decision.

00:15:36.109 --> 00:15:41.506
And that's why those four teams are super aggressive, because they know it's in play this year.

00:15:41.567 --> 00:15:45.321
Yeah, yeah play this year?

00:15:45.321 --> 00:15:47.609
Yeah, yeah, I mean the orioles and the phillies trading with each other was very interesting.

00:15:47.609 --> 00:15:58.068
Yes, it's very much a they are the favorites to win their respective leagues right and it's the attitude with that is look, let's you know, we're gonna block the other teams in our leagues and we'll meet you in the world series.

00:15:58.068 --> 00:16:04.008
Yeah, that's actually pretty interesting because you don't typically see that happen right now and both teams got better.

00:16:04.067 --> 00:16:24.966
Baltimore needed bullpen help and you guys needed an extra, a more solidified outfield, and moving marsh to center and haze the left I think is going to pay off for you guys in the long run yeah, and like again, the phillies won't make any more, uh, fielding trades, but they may make another bullpen arm because you guys end up with another reliever here, yeah.

00:16:25.427 --> 00:16:26.607
Yeah, but yeah no.

00:16:26.607 --> 00:16:27.549
It's very interesting to see.

00:16:27.549 --> 00:16:30.594
And then some interesting moves between sellers.

00:16:30.594 --> 00:16:50.695
Right, the Cubs and Tampa Bay really been selling at the deadline but then the Tampa Bay sends Isaac Paredes to the Cubs, who was a very coveted piece, and then the Cubs sends Christopher Morrell back to Tampa along with prospects and both organizations say we think this is going to help both of our respective organizations in the long run.

00:16:50.695 --> 00:16:51.799
But it's interesting.

00:16:51.799 --> 00:17:05.094
It takes interesting pieces off the board for possible buyers as those two teams as sellers sell to each other, similar in a way to the way Baltimore, andimore and philly, two buyers, bought from each other.

00:17:05.540 --> 00:17:06.663
Everyone's trying to get better.

00:17:06.663 --> 00:17:11.227
Just because you're a seller doesn't mean you're gonna give everything to a better team, right?

00:17:11.227 --> 00:17:14.700
Especially if those teams are in your division yeah, no, for sure.

00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:25.029
And then, that's why, too, it's a safe trade, because it's interleague right right, you know um so but you know, very interesting to see and and definitely going to be fun.

00:17:25.029 --> 00:17:26.492
Be fun Last couple of hours.

00:17:26.492 --> 00:17:40.259
If anything breaks here on the show as we're recording, we'll give you our thoughts in the last hour and 18 minutes before the deadline, or, excuse me, 118 minutes, hour and 58 minutes before the deadline.

00:17:40.259 --> 00:17:43.467
It hits here for baseball.

00:17:43.527 --> 00:17:44.348
I mean, I'm watching it.

00:17:44.348 --> 00:17:45.391
That's why I keep looking away.

00:17:45.932 --> 00:17:46.373
No, me too.

00:17:46.373 --> 00:17:52.028
I'm refreshing every couple of minutes because it literally could be.

00:17:52.028 --> 00:17:54.067
It could happen at any second.

00:17:54.126 --> 00:17:57.282
Folks, that the quote-unquote that big earthquake could hit California.

00:17:57.644 --> 00:17:58.144
That's right.

00:17:58.184 --> 00:17:59.847
The 10.0 the trade to the Dodgers.

00:18:00.569 --> 00:18:01.431
Yes, uh-oh.

00:18:01.592 --> 00:18:02.353
Trade alert.

00:18:02.353 --> 00:18:02.913
Trade alert.

00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.807
Trade alert yes, trade trade alert trade alert, trade alert deal.

00:18:06.826 --> 00:18:13.681
The new york mets the new york mets are going to get right, a very solid right-handed starter from the oakland athletics getting involved.

00:18:13.681 --> 00:18:20.267
We were talking about this earlier on my stream on tiktok, about how the athletics have been unusually quiet for a team that is oftentimes sellers.

00:18:20.267 --> 00:18:20.888
That the deadline.

00:18:20.888 --> 00:18:27.928
But the mets looking to shore up their rotation, especially with the injury to Senga, who looks like he's going to miss the whole rest of the year.

00:18:27.928 --> 00:18:39.373
Now Paul Blackburn looks like he will be heading from Oakland to Queens for a trade that is breaking as we are recording.

00:18:40.221 --> 00:18:51.165
Look, the Mets have been buyers and honestly I hate the Mets, but the moves they've made are very good and if they're going to get one of those wildcard spots, they've done what they had to do.

00:18:51.165 --> 00:18:53.645
They've shored up their rotation, they've shored up their bullpen.

00:18:53.645 --> 00:18:57.928
They added a right fielder in Jesse Winker, who's having a nice year overall.

00:18:57.928 --> 00:19:00.547
This is an interesting move.

00:19:00.547 --> 00:19:09.183
Now, as they got themselves a nice middle of the rotation starter in paul blackburn.

00:19:09.183 --> 00:19:12.632
The return has not been, uh, finalized yet, but again, we will talk about this throughout the show.

00:19:12.632 --> 00:19:18.088
As it happens, um, fascinating, fascinating.

00:19:18.088 --> 00:19:22.969
Completely forgot about paul blackburn in oakland, because he's he is a good starter.

00:19:22.969 --> 00:19:24.214
He's just his number.

00:19:24.214 --> 00:19:27.684
His wins and losses aren't there because he plays for Oakland um.

00:19:27.684 --> 00:19:30.089
But yeah, great, great moves there.

00:19:30.190 --> 00:19:38.063
So right, let's talk about how Simone Biles just became the most decorated gymnast in US history and Olympic history yes, the Olympics.

00:19:38.182 --> 00:19:45.253
The US women's team just won the gold, uh, in the gym in gymnastics.

00:19:45.253 --> 00:19:48.118
Uh, us, of course, winning the medal count.

00:19:48.118 --> 00:19:58.703
As of right now, there are, I think, a couple behind japan for the gold medal leader, but, um, us, I know it's not surprisingly going out very strong.

00:19:58.703 --> 00:19:59.484
The us ladies.

00:19:59.484 --> 00:20:07.231
And yes, simone biles uh, leads the us women's gymnastics team to olympic gold, kicking off their quote unquote redemption tour.

00:20:07.231 --> 00:20:14.583
And yet she is now the most decorated American woman in gymnastics with eight medals.

00:20:14.583 --> 00:20:17.651
That's her eighth medal, congratulations to her.

00:20:18.051 --> 00:20:19.304
Yeah, yeah.

00:20:19.304 --> 00:20:20.848
So, ray, here's a question for you.

00:20:21.280 --> 00:20:23.328
And she's only going to add to it as this goes on, most likely.

00:20:23.579 --> 00:20:23.740
Agreed.

00:20:23.740 --> 00:20:24.726
Here's a question for you.

00:20:24.726 --> 00:20:26.086
It's something I was debating the other day.

00:20:26.086 --> 00:20:27.343
This should be for our audience too.

00:20:27.343 --> 00:20:29.308
Medal count.

00:20:30.111 --> 00:20:30.271
Yeah.

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:40.134
You know the way they do the medal count is it's total medals and the way you quote, unquote win that tally board, win the Olympics is most medals, right?

00:20:40.134 --> 00:20:44.001
I don't know how I feel about that.

00:20:44.001 --> 00:20:55.067
So I was saying the other day to my wife we were having a conversation is it, should it be medal count, which is one that is a chart, don't get me wrong or is gold medals what we should be counting?

00:20:55.067 --> 00:20:57.148
And I went back and forth on that.

00:20:57.148 --> 00:21:04.913
So I'm interested in your thoughts on this Ray of what is more important in terms of keeping score, if you will.

00:21:04.913 --> 00:21:06.314
Is it total medal count?

00:21:06.314 --> 00:21:17.526
Because I'll tell you right now if a country led the medal count and had like two golds, 12 scissors, 12 silvers and like eight bronze.

00:21:18.827 --> 00:21:20.810
I'm not taking anything away from the medals.

00:21:20.810 --> 00:21:22.934
I don't want anybody to think that that's where I'm going with this.

00:21:22.934 --> 00:21:30.145
There's certainly something to be said to being second or third best in the world, plus four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten.

00:21:30.145 --> 00:21:34.221
I mean like that's an amazing accomplishment to even be at the olympics.

00:21:34.221 --> 00:21:46.250
But the competitor in me is like well, gold means you want right silver and bronze, you want something right, but you didn't.

00:21:46.250 --> 00:21:47.071
You didn't, you're not.

00:21:47.071 --> 00:21:50.153
You're not the best, you're not number one in the world.

00:21:50.153 --> 00:21:54.267
You're definitely number one in your country, most likely, unless it's like the us gymnast team that it's like right.

00:21:54.287 --> 00:22:00.872
Yeah, I think the us slimmers, I think went one, two in a competition the other day or whatever so what should we be counting, ray?

00:22:00.892 --> 00:22:01.681
I want to know your thoughts.

00:22:01.681 --> 00:22:03.365
I mean and again, I know the answer is both.

00:22:03.365 --> 00:22:07.392
But what is a more important count to you total medal count or gold medals?

00:22:07.573 --> 00:22:15.705
one, because we're not leading in the gold medals one right now no, I think it's japan right now, as of as of this moment of recording, I just I, I don't I.

00:22:15.826 --> 00:22:17.148
I go back and forth on this one.

00:22:17.148 --> 00:22:18.112
I wonder what you think.

00:22:18.112 --> 00:22:20.222
I wonder what the audience thinks uh, I think it's.

00:22:20.864 --> 00:22:25.272
I think I think the total medals is the consolation prize, like I think it should be gold medals.

00:22:25.272 --> 00:22:26.213
I think it should be gold.

00:22:26.501 --> 00:22:28.719
See, I think I agree with you on this, right?

00:22:28.719 --> 00:22:40.833
Yeah, it's like the reason I say this, ray, is because, like I don't, I've never looked at my second and third place trophies and medals as like success.

00:22:40.833 --> 00:22:41.574
I mean no.

00:22:42.785 --> 00:22:43.086
I recognize.

00:22:43.086 --> 00:22:54.031
I look at them, them as like, like there's a little hint of regret like I could have done, yeah, a little bit more, almost like I'm gonna say this again it's not that I'm not proud of them and I'm not saying that something wasn't earned there.

00:22:54.031 --> 00:22:56.046
All right, I don't have anything beyond third place.

00:22:56.266 --> 00:22:59.461
I am not a fan of participation trophies yeah, no, it's top three.

00:22:59.541 --> 00:23:02.268
It's top three above the age of uh, I'll say eight.

00:23:02.268 --> 00:23:05.834
Yeah, I'm not a fan of participation trophies.

00:23:05.834 --> 00:23:07.246
I'm not even sure you need them before that.

00:23:07.246 --> 00:23:10.308
So I acknowledge the second and third place things that I have.

00:23:10.308 --> 00:23:19.569
I'm not the type to throw them away like we earned them, but I don't look at them like I have a gold medal.

00:23:19.569 --> 00:23:21.094
Let's be honest, I have a gold medal.

00:23:21.094 --> 00:23:23.227
It's probably displayed in my office.

00:23:23.227 --> 00:23:28.023
I wouldn't look at the silver one if we came in second.

00:23:28.023 --> 00:23:29.689
Right, right again.

00:23:29.689 --> 00:23:30.451
You lose silver.

00:23:30.451 --> 00:23:31.800
You can only win bronze and gold.

00:23:31.800 --> 00:23:44.883
So I don't know, I I believe that gold medals is the count that I want to look at and I, yes, I always feel like it's like a, it's like politics, like they're lying to us, right, it's like, oh no, us is leading the medal count, we're 22.

00:23:44.883 --> 00:23:52.271
And I'm like man, that country has more golds than us, yeah, so I feel like I'm hitting the eight ball on a pool with this a little bit.

00:23:52.772 --> 00:23:54.295
Yeah, no, I agree.

00:23:54.494 --> 00:23:55.155
What's our motto?

00:23:55.155 --> 00:23:57.666
Ray, Go for the gold.

00:23:58.228 --> 00:24:00.401
Yeah, no, exactly yeah at no.

00:24:00.401 --> 00:24:04.366
So I mean, and sometimes too, I mean like it also depends on the situation, like I think what was it?

00:24:04.366 --> 00:24:13.788
The men's team, I think, got silver yesterday, which I think was was it's their first medal in 16 years and they're in four olympics again, it's an accomplishment.

00:24:14.150 --> 00:24:15.680
I guess I want to make sure this is clear.

00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:21.710
I am not poo-pooing on the silver or bronze medal or even being an Olympic competitor.

00:24:21.710 --> 00:24:23.952
Yeah, I am not in any way.

00:24:23.952 --> 00:24:30.759
But I'm talking about winning in the in the literal sense of winning a competition.

00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:31.926
I'm not talking about moral victory.

00:24:31.926 --> 00:24:38.204
That's a great moral victory for the men's team and being second in the world is fantastic.

00:24:38.204 --> 00:24:39.469
There's no shame in that.

00:24:39.469 --> 00:24:45.144
But you're not first in the world and that's what I'm trying to say that always bugs me a little bit.

00:24:45.625 --> 00:24:51.190
Yeah, no, I mean, there were some great stories, like even this weekend, like I watched the women's team archery, which was really fascinating.

00:24:51.190 --> 00:25:00.772
And Mexico, the Mexican women got the bronze, and it's a great thing because it's the first time the country has ever meddled in women's team archery.

00:25:00.772 --> 00:25:05.637
Right, that is a huge accomplishment for them, right they?

00:25:05.637 --> 00:25:08.645
I think they knocked off the Dutch, I think, in that bronze medal match.

00:25:08.665 --> 00:25:09.719
Well, here's the other thing too.

00:25:09.719 --> 00:25:10.743
You're bringing up a good point.

00:25:10.743 --> 00:25:13.666
Like we're Americans, we're also very used to winning.

00:25:13.666 --> 00:25:15.807
All right, we have a massive population.

00:25:15.807 --> 00:25:19.286
Historically, we win at the Olympics, right?

00:25:19.286 --> 00:25:26.721
If I was from St Lucia, trinidad and Tobago, you know Jamaica.

00:25:26.721 --> 00:25:32.661
If I was from a smaller country, I imagine this conversation is a little bit different.

00:25:32.661 --> 00:25:36.459
Sure, right, because of where you know, not your place in the world.

00:25:36.459 --> 00:25:43.328
I'm not trying to say that, but like we have the odds in our favor with our population, not to mention we draw people from all over the world, I mean we get resources?

00:25:43.388 --> 00:25:45.096
Yeah, no, I almost have an unfair advantage.

00:25:45.237 --> 00:25:47.138
We don't, but we always do that's just.

00:25:47.138 --> 00:25:49.922
That's part of having the ability to come to this country.

00:25:49.922 --> 00:25:52.163
But yeah, I thought it was a question I want to ask you.

00:25:52.163 --> 00:25:53.765
It's an interesting yeah no for sure.

00:25:54.165 --> 00:26:04.593
And in that competition by the way, this was a fascinating stat the south south korean women uh team archery women's team archery has been a sport since 1988, so there have been 10.

00:26:04.613 --> 00:26:07.016
This is the 10th time it has been a sport at the olympics.

00:26:07.016 --> 00:26:16.452
South korea has won the gold every time and listen to the broadcasters like this is the kind of this is the kind of interesting.

00:26:16.452 --> 00:26:18.642
This is when color commentary is at its best.

00:26:18.642 --> 00:26:24.499
They're like archery in south korea, which I would never have known, is like basketball in the united states.

00:26:24.499 --> 00:26:27.462
Like these women are paid and like the men and for the team career are paid, and like athletes like basketball in the United States.

00:26:27.462 --> 00:26:32.789
Like these women are paid and like the men and for the team career are paid, and like athletes, like basketball athletes are here in America.

00:26:32.789 --> 00:26:53.638
Like it's insane, but like also that's amazing and good for those women continuing what is basically a dynasty where South Korea and, by the way, literally by a millimeter they beat china in the tie-breaking set by a millimeter to continue that domination 10 straight olympics for the south korean women.

00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:54.701
That's the difference.

00:26:54.701 --> 00:26:56.692
And again, look, that's the difference.

00:26:56.692 --> 00:27:02.630
That's how I would say that that's an accurate portrayal of how close these things are.

00:27:03.190 --> 00:27:11.513
Yes, again if you want to look at track and field, which usually is on the later half of the Olympics, yes, look at the difference between first, second and third place.

00:27:11.513 --> 00:27:13.255
It's like that quick.

00:27:13.255 --> 00:27:15.516
Yeah, like that's the difference.

00:27:15.516 --> 00:27:18.237
I always like to equate that to people.

00:27:18.237 --> 00:27:25.601
Can you imagine operating in your job where that was the variance you had to perform at between you and somebody else to keep a job?

00:27:25.601 --> 00:27:29.001
Yeah, you would lose your mind, right.

00:27:29.123 --> 00:27:32.243
No, the pressure, the gap is much bigger in the workforce.

00:27:32.243 --> 00:27:39.446
But yeah, it's an amazing thing, the Olympics I've always appreciated them, obviously both sets, and yeah, I was looking too at the like.

00:27:39.446 --> 00:27:41.567
You know, most countries pay for a gold medal.

00:27:41.567 --> 00:27:53.811
It was actually funny because America's on the much lower side side of that.

00:27:53.811 --> 00:27:54.114
But that's also.

00:27:54.114 --> 00:27:56.808
It's also economy of scale, where we have so many gold medalists that can only pay like 30 40 000 per gold medal, where some countries are paying close, close to a million.

00:27:56.808 --> 00:27:56.942
But yeah, but how they can pay?

00:27:56.942 --> 00:27:58.365
Well, they're not going to win the gold.

00:27:58.365 --> 00:27:58.865
That's that.

00:27:59.586 --> 00:28:00.848
That's why it's up to a million, it's.

00:28:00.848 --> 00:28:02.411
So yeah, so yeah it's.

00:28:02.411 --> 00:28:10.481
It's why it's a big deal when, again, mexico gets third place in women's team archery, like you win something nice, yeah, yeah for sure when it's trip to america.

00:28:10.521 --> 00:28:13.653
I'm just kidding, yeah, um go to beautiful los angeles.

00:28:13.653 --> 00:28:15.641
They can get a beautiful los angeles in a few years.

00:28:15.641 --> 00:28:16.484
Ray they'll be there.

00:28:16.484 --> 00:28:19.453
I can't wait to see track and field when the ground is moving.

00:28:19.815 --> 00:28:25.920
It's gonna be great I will say this, though at least la I can say.

00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:33.708
I will confidently say this, and I don't usually say something like la is cleaner than paris oh, at least the water is at least the water is.

00:28:33.728 --> 00:28:41.694
I don't know if you guys will do the triathlon in the la river no, I think they will use the pacific ocean wisely.

00:28:41.734 --> 00:28:45.667
They will use the pacific ocean, uh, and I will say this, folks, this is this.

00:28:45.667 --> 00:28:48.715
There's been some, really there's been a lot of great stories coming out of the olympics.

00:28:48.715 --> 00:28:57.710
There's also been some bad ones, and one of the top ones, top of the mind today, is, uh, the sane river, sign river, however you want to say it, the river sane.

00:28:57.710 --> 00:29:10.586
In going through paris, the men's triathlon was delayed to due to high e coli levels in the water and general toxicity and contamination.

00:29:10.586 --> 00:29:23.679
Basically, folks, france paid a billion dollars, $1.5 billion, to clean the water over the last year and it's still so dirty and disgusting that they don't want the athletes to swim in it.

00:29:23.679 --> 00:29:25.556
It is filthy.

00:29:25.630 --> 00:29:30.038
And if you folks, you've never been to France, I can tell you I've been to France many times, all up and down France.

00:29:30.038 --> 00:29:34.017
I've been to Nice, I've been to Lyon, I've been to St Raphael and I've been to Paris.

00:29:34.017 --> 00:29:38.289
It is one of the dirtiest countries I've ever been in.

00:29:38.289 --> 00:29:39.852
And I've traveled the world.

00:29:39.852 --> 00:29:41.253
I'm not tooting my own horn here.

00:29:41.253 --> 00:29:45.940
I've been to Australia, I've been to Japan, I've been all over the us and all over canada.

00:29:45.940 --> 00:29:52.288
I've been to eastern europe, I've been with belarus, I've been to germany and italy and spain and england.

00:29:52.288 --> 00:29:56.093
France is filthy, it just is folks.

00:29:56.093 --> 00:30:05.733
And boy, oh boy, they are seeing it firsthand right now, as they delayed the triathlon because they're still cleaning the water.

00:30:05.834 --> 00:30:08.597
Tell us what you're really, that you're not wrong, I'm sorry.

00:30:08.597 --> 00:30:18.349
It's not filthy in the garbage, like people aren't picking up the garbage, sense, it's just it's out of control.

00:30:18.349 --> 00:30:21.849
You know littering, I mean, it's a little different.

00:30:21.849 --> 00:30:23.837
It's like that like garbage bags on the side of the street.

00:30:23.837 --> 00:30:28.260
I've been there too, but yeah, look, it's interesting that you know I garbage bags on the side of the street.

00:30:28.260 --> 00:30:30.342
Um, I've been there too, but yeah, look, it's interesting that you know I was the mayor.

00:30:30.342 --> 00:30:42.083
The mayor of, uh, paris was like swimming in there the other day and then, just a few days, because it rained, they, the e coli is filling up the river, so it's, it's a interesting situation, a little bit embarrassing, but um, oh yeah, it's definitely a bit of a black.

00:30:42.170 --> 00:30:43.732
I mean, look, I'm gonna say it's not gonna be.

00:30:43.732 --> 00:30:45.056
I'm sure there's.

00:30:45.056 --> 00:30:48.541
There's going to be problems in LA in four years too, but this was not good.

00:30:48.643 --> 00:30:49.063
Other issues.

00:30:49.063 --> 00:30:51.976
It's embarrassing, yeah, but, like you said, there's more good than bad.

00:30:51.976 --> 00:30:54.021
But that's not the only thing we're going to talk about.

00:30:54.569 --> 00:30:56.153
Oh yeah, because there is also.

00:30:56.153 --> 00:31:00.102
There's a food shortage in the Olympic Village.

00:31:00.102 --> 00:31:04.594
Whoops, they were like, oh, the athletes don't eat that much.

00:31:04.594 --> 00:31:09.762
No, meanwhile, michael phelps, a few years ago, was telling us about how he ate 40 000 calories a day while he was in the olympics.

00:31:09.762 --> 00:31:11.025
Right, but no, we're gonna.

00:31:11.025 --> 00:31:15.443
The french, they could survive on baguettes 1500 calories a day.

00:31:15.443 --> 00:31:18.291
They'll be fine croissant, we'll give them a croissant.

00:31:18.291 --> 00:31:19.934
Give them another croissant.

00:31:19.934 --> 00:31:33.335
The uk is flying emergency rations into paris for its athletes, and other countries are going to follow suit soon, because there's not enough food in the Olympic village.

00:31:33.335 --> 00:31:39.185
You Unbelievable.

00:31:39.185 --> 00:31:45.816
The beds are bad, there's no curtains in the rooms, there's no air conditioning.

00:31:45.816 --> 00:31:47.111
Paris, what are you doing?

00:31:47.111 --> 00:31:47.612
This is always the rooms.

00:31:47.612 --> 00:31:48.313
There's no air conditioning Paris.

00:31:48.333 --> 00:31:48.733
What are you doing?

00:31:48.733 --> 00:31:50.636
This is always the case, like every four years.

00:31:50.636 --> 00:31:57.069
It just seems like the village is just not adequate for these athletes and I don't understand.

00:31:57.069 --> 00:31:58.588
And you know that you think you'd learn by now.

00:31:58.588 --> 00:32:00.376
Well, you know, the French athletes are taken care of.

00:32:00.376 --> 00:32:03.619
I wonder if this is just bad gamemanship at some point.

00:32:13.210 --> 00:32:15.295
Like you heard about, when Sochi uh, in those winter olympics and other russian, it was horrible.

00:32:15.295 --> 00:32:17.942
Like yeah, just well, in rio a few years ago too, like it just yeah, it's like it's every olympics.

00:32:17.942 --> 00:32:20.890
We hear about the disasters in the olympic village and nobody seems to learn.

00:32:20.890 --> 00:32:23.596
And, like you said, is it just bad gamesmanship?

00:32:23.596 --> 00:32:28.230
Is this gonna happen now, in four years, where the us athletes are perfectly taken care of?

00:32:28.230 --> 00:32:30.596
Meanwhile we put all the other athletes down in skid row.

00:32:30.999 --> 00:32:50.653
I don't know, we'll see what happens, but it just it doesn't seem like the best way to put your best foot forward in the eyes of the world right when the eyes of the world are on paris right now, and mostly what we're talking about is how dirty the water is and how there's no food in the village not good no, it's not a good look.

00:32:50.653 --> 00:32:56.467
Um, yeah, so it just it just unbelievable, uh.

00:32:56.467 --> 00:33:02.147
I will say this though uh, the beach volleyball in front of the eiffel tower is really cool it's really awesome.

00:33:02.410 --> 00:33:05.315
Yeah, I like the way they set that up a hundred hundred percent.

00:33:05.394 --> 00:33:06.276
I hope we do something.

00:33:06.276 --> 00:33:11.003
We probably won't do something as cool because we actually have beaches here in LA.

00:33:11.003 --> 00:33:16.480
Yeah, you'll be on the beach, you'll actually be on the beach, but it might be cool because you can see the Ferris wheel in the background on the Santa Monica Pier.

00:33:16.990 --> 00:33:18.857
Yeah, keep telling yourself it's cool, that's awesome.

00:33:19.973 --> 00:33:20.817
It's not the Eiffel Tower.

00:33:27.589 --> 00:33:28.693
I know it's not these little hiccups, man, they don't.

00:33:28.693 --> 00:33:32.526
They don't make a lot of sense no, it just seems like again.

00:33:32.546 --> 00:33:37.239
It feels like the fact that this happens every four years and like nobody's.

00:33:37.259 --> 00:33:49.461
Everybody's caught with their pants down again look, you got to remember this, ray that the olympics are always a financial hole for these cities, like they do not make money on the Olympics ever.

00:33:49.461 --> 00:33:51.074
That's true and you can look at.

00:33:51.074 --> 00:33:51.856
You can look at the.

00:33:51.856 --> 00:33:55.496
I mean, I sound like a dork, I studied this, but you can look at the historical data.

00:33:56.069 --> 00:34:06.994
Every city loses money in the Olympic games, the only city the only city, ray, not to lose money, it was Los Angeles.

00:34:06.994 --> 00:34:11.000
Yeah, and it's because they're not creating venues for the event.

00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:12.416
They're using existing venues.

00:34:12.416 --> 00:34:14.476
Now, with that said, that Olympics was in what?

00:34:14.476 --> 00:34:16.471
The 80s, 84, yeah, yeah.

00:34:16.471 --> 00:34:25.340
So different time, different media coverage, different spend, all right, I think the spending on the next Olympics in LA is going to be a little more than it was in 84.

00:34:25.340 --> 00:34:27.063
But you're still going to save money spending on the next Olympics in LA, or it's going to be a little more than it was in 84.

00:34:27.063 --> 00:34:27.498
Yeah, you're still going to save money.

00:34:27.498 --> 00:34:28.905
You're not building a new Coliseum.

00:34:29.407 --> 00:34:30.110
No, and that's the thing.

00:34:30.110 --> 00:34:33.820
We have all the arenas here.

00:34:33.820 --> 00:34:36.559
We have all the horse tracks for the horse, the equestrian events.

00:34:36.809 --> 00:34:39.659
So we have the ocean, you know like that's again.

00:34:39.659 --> 00:34:45.297
That's why it's a good place, cause, with that said so, everybody's probably thinking now, well, okay, leave, they don't make money.

00:34:45.297 --> 00:34:45.998
What's the point?

00:34:45.998 --> 00:34:52.836
The point is, paris is now in the eyes of the world and you're talking about Paris Right and long-term, over 20 years.

00:34:53.489 --> 00:34:53.871
The tour.

00:34:53.871 --> 00:34:55.597
It'll be a boon on tourism yeah.

00:34:56.190 --> 00:35:05.172
Someone's going to go to Paris because they're seeing Paris, like that's Right, like when's the last time you talked about Paris, I Paris, but when's the last time you talked about Paris?

00:35:05.172 --> 00:35:07.673
Yeah, that's very true, it's in your mind.

00:35:07.673 --> 00:35:09.213
When's the last time you talked about Rio?

00:35:09.213 --> 00:35:13.797
Right Right, by the way, salt Lake City, utah, just awarded another winner Olympics.

00:35:13.797 --> 00:35:16.318
When's the last time we talked about Salt Lake City 2002.

00:35:16.318 --> 00:35:19.699
The last time there was an Olympics there, yeah, was it 2002?

00:35:19.699 --> 00:35:23.201
I think it was 2002, right so was it Something like that?

00:35:23.240 --> 00:35:24.141
It was a long time ago now.

00:35:24.141 --> 00:35:27.043
Yeah, but that's why they do it.

00:35:27.043 --> 00:35:30.824
But, yeah, why would they spend money on the athletes when they know they're losing money?

00:35:30.824 --> 00:35:32.545
That's where they cut the cost, which is amazing.

00:35:32.545 --> 00:35:36.766
Right, you can have a beach volleyball court next to the Eiffel Tower, but you don't have any food.

00:35:37.887 --> 00:35:46.096
Yeah, it's just kind of mind-boggling you know what's also going to be interesting.

00:35:46.115 --> 00:35:46.637
Kind of mind-boggling, what.

00:35:46.637 --> 00:35:46.858
How much.

00:35:46.858 --> 00:35:47.784
I want a baguette and a croissant right now.

00:35:47.784 --> 00:35:48.969
Thanks, ray, I would love a croissant.

00:35:48.969 --> 00:35:51.215
I would go to Les Bouts and get a chocolate croissant.

00:35:51.215 --> 00:35:52.860
Croissant, Croissant.

00:35:52.860 --> 00:35:54.356
We're not being funny.

00:35:54.356 --> 00:35:56.114
That's how French people speak.

00:35:56.255 --> 00:35:57.036
That's how they say it.

00:35:57.036 --> 00:36:10.253
So anyway, next year is going to be something interesting the official Olympic esports event Video games, olympic esports event video games.

00:36:10.253 --> 00:36:13.085
For the last couple of years, the olympics have been looking to incorporate video games more and more to the events.

00:36:13.085 --> 00:36:19.117
The official olympic esports event will be taking place next year in saudi arabia.

00:36:19.117 --> 00:36:22.661
That was like I'm all for.

00:36:22.661 --> 00:36:27.199
I I think obviously like olympic esports is is an interesting thing.

00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:29.757
I think obviously like Olympic esports is an interesting thing.

00:36:29.757 --> 00:36:31.335
I think obviously there's a competitive aspect.

00:36:31.335 --> 00:36:33.862
Obviously it's not the.

00:36:33.862 --> 00:36:38.793
Obviously esports is great and it's obviously it's getting its fair share of attention.

00:36:38.793 --> 00:36:48.659
I don't know if it should be labeled as an Olympic thing, but like, especially because the Olympics are basically not doing most of the games that are considered the most competitive games.

00:36:48.659 --> 00:36:50.456
They are going to be doing Street Fighter, they said.

00:36:50.456 --> 00:36:54.097
They are going to probably be doing Rocket League, but they're not going to be doing Call of Duty.

00:36:54.097 --> 00:36:59.998
They're not going to be doing over, like anything that's a shooter probably will not be featured, which.

00:37:00.018 --> 00:37:01.682
I think is it makes sense.

00:37:01.750 --> 00:37:12.025
But it's also interesting because, like you're not, it also means you're not doing fortnight right, which is like these are the biggest competitions, typically in esports or counter-strike or rainbow six, um.

00:37:12.025 --> 00:37:21.913
But it's interesting and I think it's also interesting the venue that they're going to go to saudi arabia, which saudi arabia has been trying to get into video games for a long time, but not usually.

00:37:21.913 --> 00:37:24.597
And again, this is kind of like we've talked about this before.

00:37:24.597 --> 00:37:41.822
It's usually interesting how countries we talked about it last week with Latveria, a fictional country in our mashup Sometimes countries that don't have the best standing in the world but getting a chance to host Olympic events and kind of what goes into that behind the scenes and the money and whatnot.

00:37:41.949 --> 00:37:45.641
But Lee what are your thoughts about video games getting their own Olympic-branded event?

00:37:46.490 --> 00:37:59.777
I just think it's going to be really interesting when a guy's about to win and then logan paul comes out of nowhere from the top rope at the crown jewels event it's also simultaneously taking place to take out whoever it is playing whatever game, and he's just going to say I'm the us champion.

00:37:59.777 --> 00:38:01.240
You know that's going to be fun.

00:38:01.240 --> 00:38:02.751
Uh, no, look it's.

00:38:02.751 --> 00:38:03.172
It's.

00:38:03.172 --> 00:38:04.014
There's a lot of new.

00:38:04.014 --> 00:38:11.500
Um, there's more sports that come to the Olympics, and I think people realize, like, for example, we didn't talk about it Break dancing is now an Olympic competition this year.

00:38:11.500 --> 00:38:14.197
Right, first time break dancing has ever been there.

00:38:14.197 --> 00:38:17.610
Um, there's also other things that are there, like you know, three or three basketball.

00:38:17.610 --> 00:38:19.672
I don't think it's new, but it's newer, right?

00:38:19.672 --> 00:38:22.014
So, uh, something to think about.

00:38:22.014 --> 00:38:22.213
It's.

00:38:22.474 --> 00:38:23.815
I mean, should gaming be in the Olympics?

00:38:23.815 --> 00:38:24.815
Yeah, there's competitions.

00:38:24.815 --> 00:38:26.056
It's been around for a long time.

00:38:26.056 --> 00:38:26.717
Why would you not?

00:38:26.717 --> 00:38:28.018
It's about competing, right?

00:38:28.018 --> 00:38:29.780
Sure, I mean, that's what it's about.

00:38:29.780 --> 00:38:31.422
It's about competition, you know.

00:38:31.422 --> 00:38:34.264
Is it about athletic prowess all the time?

00:38:34.264 --> 00:38:36.065
I don't know.

00:38:36.065 --> 00:38:38.007
We'd have to have a conversation about that, right?

00:38:43.338 --> 00:38:44.181
Like you know there's some.

00:38:44.181 --> 00:38:45.664
It's also getting its own event right.

00:38:45.664 --> 00:38:56.681
It's not part of the actual summer or winter Olympics, it's getting its own officially the the e-sport, the Olympic e-sports games that will start in 2025.

00:38:56.869 --> 00:38:58.115
There you go, so when are you signing up?

00:38:59.992 --> 00:39:00.673
I can be a coach.

00:39:00.673 --> 00:39:01.317
I'm too old.

00:39:01.416 --> 00:39:04.528
now there's a 61 year old ping pong player in the Olympics.

00:39:04.528 --> 00:39:05.672
Right, I don't want to hear any bullshit.

00:39:05.713 --> 00:39:06.255
I saw that from.

00:39:06.255 --> 00:39:08.081
I don't want to hear any bullshit from you.

00:39:08.081 --> 00:39:09.045
She's from Chile.

00:39:09.045 --> 00:39:10.932
Yes, okay, I could.

00:39:10.932 --> 00:39:13.090
Maybe I could be an Olympic athlete.

00:39:13.552 --> 00:39:15.277
I mean, what if they do something like GoldenEye?

00:39:21.797 --> 00:39:22.978
Like the kids can't play GoldenEye today.

00:39:22.978 --> 00:39:23.980
Sure, sure they can't do that.

00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:24.420
That's the thing.

00:39:24.420 --> 00:39:27.623
Rocket League, to be perfectly honest with you, it's soccer with cars.

00:39:27.623 --> 00:39:28.664
It's a fun gimmick.

00:39:28.664 --> 00:39:29.826
It's a fun gimmick.

00:39:31.989 --> 00:39:32.996
I don't understand why people keep playing it.

00:39:32.996 --> 00:39:34.889
It's a fun gimmick, but hey, to each their own right.

00:39:35.512 --> 00:39:37.735
No, no, I'm not ripping on it, I'm just saying I never understood it.

00:39:37.735 --> 00:39:38.996
I never understood why that was a thing.

00:39:39.829 --> 00:39:48.711
Yeah, no, for sure, for sure, but no, but no, I get it.

00:39:48.711 --> 00:39:51.079
It's a fun game, but yeah, I got out of rocket league a while ago, but good to the people still playing it.

00:39:51.099 --> 00:39:57.873
you know what else is is, uh, changing next year 2025 yes, I do right, because I have a rundown in front of me that tells me what you're about to talk about, but the audience doesn't, so why don't you let them know?

00:39:58.355 --> 00:40:07.704
yes, so it is official now we've talked about this a couple times but it is official that warner brothers will be losing the NBA after next season.

00:40:07.704 --> 00:40:14.038
So, starting in the 2025-2026 season, nba is going back to NBC.

00:40:14.038 --> 00:40:22.956
Abc, espn will also have NBA games and now Amazon will also be getting NBA games joining their.

00:40:22.956 --> 00:40:28.802
Obviously, their deal with the NFL, as Amazon is starting to become more of a place for sports, 're starting to see the streamers.

00:40:28.802 --> 00:40:29.726
We talked about this a lot.

00:40:29.726 --> 00:40:33.882
Obviously, you get live sports traditionally.

00:40:33.882 --> 00:40:34.423
That's the only thing.

00:40:34.423 --> 00:40:35.929
Reason why I have any sort of traditional.

00:40:35.929 --> 00:40:36.972
I have sling.

00:40:36.972 --> 00:40:38.496
I think lee's got youtube tv.

00:40:38.496 --> 00:40:41.282
The only reason why I have this is because of sports.

00:40:41.282 --> 00:40:44.576
Once that's gone, goodbye, bye-bye.

00:40:44.576 --> 00:40:47.521
Cable Cable becomes an internet company.

00:40:47.521 --> 00:40:48.061
That's what it is.

00:40:48.061 --> 00:40:49.804
That's all cable will be anymore it already is.

00:40:50.710 --> 00:40:52.697
People on cable still are over 60.

00:40:52.697 --> 00:40:54.795
Yeah, look, it's an amazing deal.

00:40:54.795 --> 00:41:00.577
Also, we should note and I'm going to give my support props here the NHL did something similar to this a few years ago.

00:41:00.577 --> 00:41:01.735
This is just following suit.

00:41:01.735 --> 00:41:05.201
The NHL switched from NBC to ESPN.

00:41:05.201 --> 00:41:14.431
So the funny thing I saw this the other day was charles barkley saying I'm not going to be with a company that has to sue to keep us around like you know what I mean.

00:41:14.431 --> 00:41:18.911
Like, if they don't want us, then we're not going to stay right because they tried to match that offer.

00:41:18.911 --> 00:41:21.001
It's time for a changing of the guard, like I.

00:41:21.001 --> 00:41:22.567
I love charles barkley and I.

00:41:22.708 --> 00:41:25.114
That panel is great, but let's be honest, it's dated.

00:41:25.114 --> 00:41:30.661
They're overpaid, um for announcers at this point, um, and you need to bring in some fresh blood like that.

00:41:30.661 --> 00:41:36.239
That is the 90s generational panel there and it's like that's 30 freaking years ago.

00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:38.532
It's time to bring in the guys from the 2010s.

00:41:38.532 --> 00:41:40.576
They're much more affordable.

00:41:40.576 --> 00:41:45.831
It doesn't mean chuck can't can't do broadcasting still, it's just like it's.

00:41:45.831 --> 00:41:47.476
This is one of the reasons they're making the change.

00:41:47.476 --> 00:41:50.371
No one's talking about that is how much money they're going to save on their new panelists.

00:41:50.371 --> 00:41:53.318
Sure, it's gonna be a lot of savings right there.

00:41:53.318 --> 00:41:55.202
But um, look, here's the deal.

00:41:55.202 --> 00:41:56.331
This is this story.

00:41:56.331 --> 00:41:56.733
I was that.

00:41:56.733 --> 00:42:03.873
I always think stories like this are a little bit dumb because people like, well, they're gonna bring back the the song and you're gonna have that song again they are gonna bring back the song.

00:42:03.932 --> 00:42:09.576
Yeah, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-.

00:42:09.576 --> 00:42:10.255
Streaming services.

00:42:10.255 --> 00:42:15.418
And I think we're, yes, just three to four years away, like so this deal is going to be in 2025.

00:42:15.418 --> 00:42:15.960
It's probably what?

00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:17.860
A 10-year deal, it's probably something like that.

00:42:17.860 --> 00:42:31.771
Yeah, and there you go.

00:42:31.791 --> 00:42:35.139
So 2035 yeah, it's gone.

00:42:35.139 --> 00:42:36.041
It's a big.

00:42:36.041 --> 00:42:48.329
Yeah, it's a bigger deal that amazon, like you said, it's bigger deal that amazon is getting streaming games, now more than the tnt games are going to warner brothers games are going to go over to nbc universal.

00:42:48.329 --> 00:43:03.001
Now, right, like I mean that's still a big deal because obviously it continued, it shows the continued collapse of warner brothers under zaslav right, like because he doesn't know, he doesn't know, the first thing of what he's doing, aside from from all he knows, is how to tear things down.

00:43:03.001 --> 00:43:04.836
But this is a big deal, right?

00:43:05.057 --> 00:43:16.402
so warner brothers continues to suck yeah, warner brothers continues to suck, which we'll get into more of that later like even the boys is making fun of warner brothers at this point, who happens to be an amazon run show.

00:43:16.402 --> 00:43:18.992
Yeah, I said this to you without giving away anything.

00:43:18.992 --> 00:43:22.059
They literally said in an episode of the boys they had this.

00:43:22.059 --> 00:43:26.318
I'll just say they had this film coming out and the film gets canceled because the tax write-off would make more money.

00:43:26.318 --> 00:43:30.253
That and they say it in the show and look right at the camera yeah, it was like oh my.

00:43:30.273 --> 00:43:30.614
God.

00:43:31.570 --> 00:43:33.617
Brilliant, yeah, no, it's so.

00:43:33.617 --> 00:43:36.403
So good on the NBA go and get more money for the league.

00:43:36.403 --> 00:43:39.076
And bad on Warner brothers and good on NBC.

00:43:39.076 --> 00:43:39.416
Who want?

00:43:39.416 --> 00:43:44.514
Who realizes that this is a chance for them to get back into, get back into basketball.

00:43:44.514 --> 00:43:45.889
So, and kind of continue to look, get back into basketball.

00:43:46.349 --> 00:43:48.963
So and kind of continue to Look, nbc lost hockey and it was bad, oh yeah.

00:43:49.510 --> 00:43:50.574
Hockey did really well.

00:43:50.730 --> 00:43:57.000
They realized they had a huge hole in their lineup without hockey A huge hole and that ESPN did a better job with it.

00:43:57.000 --> 00:43:59.893
In spite of everybody hating on ESPN, they did a better job with it.

00:44:01.117 --> 00:44:05.793
Yes, yes, except for Sean McDonough is one of the worst play-by-play men in sports.

00:44:05.914 --> 00:44:06.215
Again.

00:44:06.215 --> 00:44:10.882
Broadcasters aside, more people watch Game 7 of the Cup Final than had in like 20 years.

00:44:11.284 --> 00:44:14.094
Yes, they did a better job, better job of promoting it.

00:44:14.094 --> 00:44:15.278
100%, yeah, absolutely.

00:44:15.278 --> 00:44:19.056
You know who else was making fun of Warner Brothers this weekend?

00:44:19.056 --> 00:44:29.516
I do Pretty directly Deadpool, baby yeah, lee.

00:44:29.516 --> 00:44:31.501
I'm going to go right into the big questions.

00:44:31.501 --> 00:44:34.398
Are we going to get Henry Cavill as Wolverine?

00:44:34.398 --> 00:44:35.813
No, we did already.

00:44:37.077 --> 00:44:38.760
Ah, yeah probably not Listen, obviously.

00:44:39.791 --> 00:44:42.340
It's like Krasinski as Miss Reed Richards it's a one-off.

00:44:42.909 --> 00:44:47.315
Spoiler alert if somehow you have not seen this film yet, although if you have not seen it.

00:44:47.315 --> 00:44:55.275
I don't know how it hasn't been spoiled for you, because, as we predicted good ray and I saw this film within probably 24 hours of it coming out.

00:44:55.315 --> 00:45:00.818
Thank goodness we did, because the spoilers are everywhere, so this is where spoiler alert spoiler spoiler.

00:45:00.818 --> 00:45:02.461
It's our turn now to talk about it.

00:45:02.641 --> 00:45:07.724
We gave you 96 hours oh no, we're within our own spoiler rules here.

00:45:07.724 --> 00:45:13.396
What was amazing to me is it wasn't just spoilers like oh, this person's in the film, it's the, it's the clips from the movie.

00:45:13.936 --> 00:45:23.670
Yeah, all over social media yeah, how all these people have not been flagged by tiktok, how these people did not get caught to have their phones in the theater.

00:45:24.472 --> 00:45:32.351
Like it's bad folks, like it's real bad I mean it's still made and it's still made it's still made almost half a billion dollars.

00:45:32.351 --> 00:45:33.871
Yeah, it is what I'll say.

00:45:33.871 --> 00:45:37.434
I've seen it, so I don't mind seeing these things.

00:45:37.434 --> 00:45:41.518
It's kind of fun to watch those scenes again, but the problem is, if I haven't seen them, you've ruined the movie.

00:45:41.518 --> 00:45:43.619
You've ruined the movie.

00:45:43.619 --> 00:45:44.300
I'd say.

00:45:44.300 --> 00:45:51.467
It took 24 hours before I started seeing things everywhere, and to me this was a week-long embargo.

00:45:56.929 --> 00:45:58.474
Yeah, everywhere, and to me this was a, this was a week-long embargo.

00:45:58.496 --> 00:45:58.956
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it's.

00:45:58.956 --> 00:46:00.382
It's but top grossing r-rated film opening weekend all time.

00:46:00.382 --> 00:46:14.242
Uh, I think it's in the top six all-time opening weekends in history, yeah, which is saying something yeah, it's unbelievable how, how much money it's making and honestly and it's well deserved because it was.

00:46:14.422 --> 00:46:16.032
It is a hysterical movie.

00:46:16.032 --> 00:46:17.336
It is very well written.

00:46:17.336 --> 00:46:19.902
It breaks the fourth wall brilliantly.

00:46:19.902 --> 00:46:27.869
I would have like maybe a little more stakes into terms of how it ties into the larger mcu, but at the same time.

00:46:27.889 --> 00:46:30.561
We got that and I don't think that we've picked on it yet.

00:46:30.561 --> 00:46:32.550
I'll tell you my thought on that too, in a minute.

00:46:32.851 --> 00:46:35.289
The big thing I think we get is anchor beings.

00:46:35.791 --> 00:46:39.056
I just wrote that down because that that is the key to the whole thing.

00:46:39.056 --> 00:46:41.659
We're going to talk about Dr Doom in a minute.

00:46:41.659 --> 00:46:43.516
I'm sure that's going to play into that.

00:46:44.291 --> 00:46:54.253
And also the fact that Deadpool, as basically has, with a couple of lines, been like I can go from universe to universe because I'm deadpool.

00:46:54.253 --> 00:47:06.519
Um, basically because he, he has the device he took cables time hopping device at the end of of deadpool 2 is basically how he explained it and he can kind of go wherever he wants, whenever he wants, and break the fourth wall however he wants.

00:47:06.641 --> 00:47:09.552
I doubt he will very often, I don't think we'll see him again.

00:47:09.552 --> 00:47:10.614
To be honest with you, I don't.

00:47:10.614 --> 00:47:14.583
I don't think we'll see him or wolverine anytime soon everybody's oh they're gonna make a wolverine hulk film?

00:47:14.583 --> 00:47:23.056
No, they're not, because there's absolutely no plot to that film and if they are, it's not gonna be with you, jackman yeah and it.

00:47:23.056 --> 00:47:28.612
Even if it was, it's not gonna be good, because I have read wolverine versus hulk ray has read it.

00:47:28.612 --> 00:47:33.916
There's no storyline, it's just them fighting and ripping each other apart.

00:47:33.996 --> 00:47:37.871
It could be a cool 20-minute sequence in another movie maybe, if you figure it out.

00:47:37.871 --> 00:47:38.373
I agree with that.

00:47:38.373 --> 00:47:41.047
Yes, that's true, but we also got that sequence.

00:47:41.068 --> 00:47:42.916
We got that sequence already in this film.

00:47:42.916 --> 00:47:45.155
Look long story short.

00:47:45.155 --> 00:47:52.391
Deadpool and Wolverine was a love letter to the Fox universe, while also nodding to the MCU in the best way possible.

00:47:52.391 --> 00:47:56.813
It was fantastic, completely lived up to the hype.

00:47:56.813 --> 00:47:57.735
I know that cause.

00:47:57.735 --> 00:47:59.556
I couldn't stop thinking about it after I saw it.

00:47:59.556 --> 00:48:08.041
Unbelievably funny, unbelievably thoughtful, unbelievable fan service, unbelievable story and it was great.

00:48:08.041 --> 00:48:08.581
I mean it was.

00:48:08.581 --> 00:48:15.847
It was exactly what they advertised and you got to give Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman a lot of credit for understanding the audience and doing this the right way.

00:48:16.786 --> 00:48:22.032
Yeah, no, it's absolutely unbelievable.

00:48:22.032 --> 00:48:23.715
They did it right.

00:48:23.715 --> 00:48:25.597
Yeah, like you said, lee, there's nothing else to say they did it right.

00:48:25.597 --> 00:48:26.278
You know what else?

00:48:26.278 --> 00:48:30.003
I can't stop thinking about how much I want a Channing Tatum Gambit movie now.

00:48:30.164 --> 00:48:33.048
Yeah, how much I want a Channing Tatum Gambit movie now.

00:48:33.048 --> 00:48:37.878
Yeah, yeah, that was acknowledged today by Channing Tatum that he was really thanking Ryan Reynolds for going out of his way to allow him to play that character.

00:48:37.878 --> 00:48:42.358
For those who don't know yeah, this was a green lit movie that Channing Tatum was going to play Gambit.

00:48:42.358 --> 00:48:45.815
It got, if I'm not mistaken, get extremely close to production.

00:48:46.117 --> 00:48:52.422
I mean, yeah, the script was basically done like and it just died in development hell yeah, and and he showed why he should be the guy.

00:48:52.422 --> 00:48:54.184
I mean, he did, he nailed that character.

00:48:54.184 --> 00:49:03.893
He didn't just it wasn't that, wasn't just a cameo like that was a well done character, that in fact I'll say this to all the cameos in this film were they had purpose 100 right?

00:49:03.893 --> 00:49:07.161
They weren't just there to be there right, they, yeah, they were.

00:49:07.181 --> 00:49:08.351
There were no throwaways.

00:49:08.351 --> 00:49:13.023
Everything had a reason and it was really brilliantly done.

00:49:13.023 --> 00:49:18.838
And again, channing Tatum's Gambit, his action sequence.

00:49:18.838 --> 00:49:27.099
He stole the show man and this is the most comic, accurate Gambit we've ever had in live action.

00:49:27.099 --> 00:49:29.275
And Tatum was good.

00:49:29.275 --> 00:49:32.039
I know a lot of people are making fun of his Cajun accent, but I was all for it, it was fine.

00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:32.300
It was fine.

00:49:32.320 --> 00:49:34.208
I don a lot of people are making fun of his Cajun accent, but I was all for it, it was fine.

00:49:34.208 --> 00:49:34.449
It was fine.

00:49:34.449 --> 00:49:35.896
I don't know what you're making fun of.

00:49:35.896 --> 00:49:37.518
It sounded just like Gaben.

00:49:37.518 --> 00:49:39.416
He sounded like Gaben in the cartoon.

00:49:39.416 --> 00:49:43.396
Yeah, it's only weird to you because it's a human being and it's him, and you know who this guy is now.

00:49:43.489 --> 00:49:44.876
You know who Channing Tatum is right.

00:49:47.398 --> 00:49:47.717
Right it.

00:49:47.717 --> 00:49:52.280
I think, like you know the way he said it, he was spot on he took it a hundred percent serious.

00:49:52.440 --> 00:50:08.972
He and honestly, like the way and again you mentioned it, like I mean, and ryan reynolds even said too, like I, I know the pain that channing went through, because if I didn't leak the deadpool footage I would have been in that same spot we wouldn't be here, we wouldn't be here.

00:50:09.532 --> 00:50:14.311
So like it was kind of his way in a weird way, almost like leaking the gambit footage.

00:50:14.311 --> 00:50:15.233
That never was.

00:50:15.233 --> 00:50:38.391
But I, I demand, and here's the thing, we know that he there's, they hinted at him and blade and electra, and we know definitely for sure x23 did at them all surviving right I demand the channing tatum gambit movie or at least have him be Gambit in an X-Men movie, I think a lot of people are going to be wanting that and look.

00:50:38.411 --> 00:50:41.360
the beauty of Secret Wars is they can kind of do whatever they want.

00:50:42.030 --> 00:50:42.954
They can have him come back, yeah.

00:50:43.711 --> 00:50:46.483
Yeah, we're not going to discuss every little thing that happened in this movie.

00:50:46.483 --> 00:50:48.077
There's enough people on social media doing that.

00:50:48.077 --> 00:50:53.519
But I do want to talk about the implications of the movie with anchor beings, which we'll use that to transfer to rdj in a minute.

00:50:53.519 --> 00:50:57.739
But the other thing too is that it seems like they've consolidated the multiverse a little bit.

00:50:57.739 --> 00:51:02.101
In fact, they kind of joke about it in the film of like that's, that's enough of the multiverse, like you guys aren't doing it.

00:51:02.101 --> 00:51:07.657
Well, um, they're still going to use it, but I think there's going to be a little bit more of a concise storyline within it.

00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:10.525
The problem with the multiverse is that it's infinite.

00:51:10.525 --> 00:51:20.317
It's infinite and if you play in that playground too long, everybody, the stakes go away, right, because there's always another person, there's always another thing, so you have to have something singular.

00:51:20.317 --> 00:51:37.932
So the introduction of an anchor being and this is brilliant, okay, it's saying that each universe has one person, that if that person is gone, it was they joked that within a few hundred years yeah right and paradox who's the bad guy from this was like oh, I don't want to wait, I'm just going to do it now.

00:51:37.952 --> 00:51:43.219
Which, but again, yeah, fun character a little bit of a week week, uh story, also another character from the comics.

00:51:43.239 --> 00:51:46.592
He's a little known character from the comics but they did a good job with them yeah, they really did.

00:51:47.173 --> 00:51:52.481
But now the idea is that, okay, who's the anchor being for the MCU, was it?

00:51:52.561 --> 00:51:53.903
Iron man, was it Iron man?

00:51:53.903 --> 00:51:54.324
Who was it?

00:51:54.324 --> 00:51:58.519
We don't know If he said he's not Iron man from 616.

00:51:58.599 --> 00:51:59.161
And there you go.

00:51:59.161 --> 00:52:02.059
So that's now the congruence.

00:52:02.690 --> 00:52:05.932
Everyone's speculating now that it's Tom Holland, that it's Tom Holland's.

00:52:05.972 --> 00:52:06.516
Spider-Man?

00:52:06.516 --> 00:52:15.597
Sure, look, my point is this that's the important question that Deadpool and Wolverine brings to the larger MCU Before we close the loop on Deadpool and Wolverine.

00:52:15.597 --> 00:52:18.679
It was just wonderfully fun, exciting.

00:52:18.679 --> 00:52:19.800
It lived up to the hype.

00:52:19.800 --> 00:52:21.340
It was a brilliant movie.

00:52:21.340 --> 00:52:26.545
I do not think we will see Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds as those characters again outside of Cameo.

00:52:26.925 --> 00:52:28.286
Outside of Cameo sure.

00:52:28.347 --> 00:52:29.027
Yeah, there's no need.

00:52:29.027 --> 00:52:31.733
There's just no need to bring them back again.

00:52:31.733 --> 00:52:32.958
Yeah, um and again, there's a lot of speculation.

00:52:32.958 --> 00:52:33.641
They can make this movie.

00:52:33.641 --> 00:52:34.706
They can make that movie they can make.

00:52:34.706 --> 00:52:35.873
Yeah, just calm down.

00:52:35.873 --> 00:52:37.235
We got told they're gonna make another.

00:52:37.235 --> 00:52:40.012
Uh, andrew garfield spider-man a few years ago.

00:52:40.012 --> 00:52:41.278
I haven't seen anything about that.

00:52:41.278 --> 00:52:42.907
Stop, stop spreading things like that I.

00:52:43.007 --> 00:52:48.317
I have heard that toby could be part of secret wars, but I think a lot of people will be in secret wars.

00:52:48.356 --> 00:52:48.617
It's just.

00:52:48.617 --> 00:52:55.708
It's going to be like an avengers assemble moment, though it's not like the whole movie is going to run around the whole movie's going to revolve around them.

00:52:55.708 --> 00:52:58.213
But um anger beings right.

00:52:58.213 --> 00:53:02.733
Let's transition here, ray, unless you have anything else on deadpool and wolverine I'm ready.

00:53:02.733 --> 00:53:12.458
I'm ready to move on, for sure yeah, so obviously it was announced um at comic-con that robert downey jr is going to play dr, and of course the internet is erupting in conversation.

00:53:12.518 --> 00:53:13.019
How can he?

00:53:13.079 --> 00:53:14.382
play Dr Doom.

00:53:14.382 --> 00:53:15.344
He's Iron man.

00:53:15.344 --> 00:53:16.434
You can't have him play.

00:53:16.434 --> 00:53:18.257
You can't do that.

00:53:18.257 --> 00:53:23.978
First off from Ray and I, both from our hearts shut up, yeah, shut up.

00:53:23.978 --> 00:53:26.835
You don't know the storyline, you don't know how they're going to do this.

00:53:26.835 --> 00:53:32.918
If there's anything we have learned, ray, if there's anything we have learned Ray gave this example, but we all know it is Heath Ledger as the Joker.

00:53:32.918 --> 00:53:35.181
You could use Michael Keaton as Batman.

00:53:35.181 --> 00:53:38.585
You don't know, something's going to be crap until it's crap.

00:53:38.585 --> 00:53:42.210
There's also a lot of actors.

00:53:42.210 --> 00:53:43.193
We thought that's going to be a great.

00:53:43.193 --> 00:53:43.733
Jared Leto is the Joker.

00:53:43.733 --> 00:53:44.215
You put that on paper.

00:53:44.215 --> 00:53:46.219
Sounds great, sounds really great.

00:53:46.219 --> 00:53:48.403
Guess what Wasn't great Not?

00:53:48.443 --> 00:53:48.623
good.

00:53:48.623 --> 00:53:54.860
I don't think he was as bad as people think, but it also just didn't work all right.

00:53:54.860 --> 00:53:55.463
I thought I thought he was.

00:53:55.483 --> 00:54:02.148
I thought it was pretty freaking, god awful personally, it just it was the, the portrayal as it was written versus what we got conflicted in my mind.

00:54:02.148 --> 00:54:03.913
All right, that was his worker, all right.

00:54:03.913 --> 00:54:09.384
So I don't know what the story is of how rdj is going to become dr doom.

00:54:09.384 --> 00:54:10.496
I don't care, you know why?

00:54:10.496 --> 00:54:15.496
Because rdj is a fantastic actor and he deserves a chance, just like leto did.

00:54:15.496 --> 00:54:17.739
He deserved the chance, yeah, okay.

00:54:17.739 --> 00:54:24.530
Also the other thing I tell people get this question is there any comic book history where that could even be possible?

00:54:24.530 --> 00:54:30.239
Yes, it has happened in the comics a couple times yes, all right.

00:54:30.639 --> 00:54:31.260
The first time.

00:54:31.260 --> 00:54:33.083
Uh, very short is.

00:54:33.083 --> 00:54:38.923
Dr doom actually transfers his consciousness into tony stark and vice versa, so he literally becomes tony stark.

00:54:38.923 --> 00:54:41.572
I possible, I don't know if that's going to happen.

00:54:41.572 --> 00:54:47.655
And then there's the other one, where dr doom takes on the iron man kind of name for a bit of time.

00:54:47.655 --> 00:54:49.800
He has all his magical powers and he's iron man.

00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:53.059
They may use those, they may not, it doesn't matter.

00:54:53.059 --> 00:54:55.376
Give it time and see what happens.

00:54:55.918 --> 00:54:56.400
yeah, and there's all.

00:54:56.400 --> 00:55:05.813
There's also earth 5012, where tony stark becomes dr doom and then it comes to the mainline universe and becomes the iron maniac and gets a cool purple, purple suit of armor.

00:55:05.813 --> 00:55:12.275
But like, anyway, like there are so many variations, they could do so much with this and you know what?

00:55:12.275 --> 00:55:23.480
You could just have it where, like the dude happens to look like Tony Stark, he could be Victor Von Doom and it just so happens to be, who knows, maybe they're going to scar his face up, like in some versions, dr Doom.

00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:27.121
The reason why he wears the mask is because, he was Hittles hideously scarred.

00:55:27.969 --> 00:55:33.657
You don't know, and if you're going to get one of the best actors of all time, then like yeah, this could be roll the dice.

00:55:33.938 --> 00:55:36.079
This could be like a Josh Brolin thing we talked about the other day.

00:55:36.079 --> 00:55:36.661
He was cable.

00:55:36.661 --> 00:55:40.025
He's also famous, yes, okay, so so we don't know.

00:55:40.025 --> 00:55:41.146
The point is this we don't know.

00:55:41.146 --> 00:55:45.851
We can speculate all we want.

00:55:45.851 --> 00:55:47.833
All what I do know is R.

00:55:47.833 --> 00:55:58.516
I highly doubt, highly doubt he would have taken this role if it did not amaze him and challenge him.

00:55:58.657 --> 00:56:00.998
He doesn't typically do things like that for money.

00:56:00.998 --> 00:56:04.380
He likes to challenge himself, he likes to push himself.

00:56:04.380 --> 00:56:07.260
And the other thing, too, is this he's smart enough.

00:56:07.260 --> 00:56:15.085
He would never try and compromise what he created with Iron man, unless this was an amazing story the way they pitched it to him.

00:56:15.085 --> 00:56:22.367
So look, if it's crap, we'll be on here in 2026 telling you it's crap, but I'm not going to tell you that today.

00:56:23.047 --> 00:56:24.369
Yeah, no, we'll wait and see.

00:56:24.369 --> 00:56:29.170
By the way, breaking news Tanner Scott closer for the Marlins going to the Padres.

00:56:29.170 --> 00:56:37.599
That's what's in that is what's happening as of this moment, with an hour and 20 minutes left before the deadline.

00:56:39.731 --> 00:56:42.159
You got any more of those relievers there on your team?

00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:43.474
We need some relievers.

00:56:44.489 --> 00:56:49.130
Yes, as also JT Charjois, another Marlin reliever going to Seattle.

00:56:49.130 --> 00:56:53.266
So the Marlins selling heavy their bullpen, charjois can also be a spot starter, but he's a long reliever going to seattle.

00:56:53.266 --> 00:56:57.260
So the marlins selling heavy their bullpen, uh, charge walk, can also be a spot starter, but uh, he's a long reliever mostly.

00:56:57.260 --> 00:56:57.862
Uh.

00:56:57.862 --> 00:57:03.175
So two arms out of the marlin pen, one going to seattle, one going to san diego.

00:57:03.175 --> 00:57:06.021
Uh, the returns not yet in, but we will.

00:57:06.021 --> 00:57:09.755
We will see if that comes in before we wrap up the show here today.

00:57:09.755 --> 00:57:10.356
Folks, folks.

00:57:10.356 --> 00:57:20.780
But as it also looks like, looks like the Tigers are sending left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin to the Rangers.

00:57:20.780 --> 00:57:22.336
That's an interesting move.

00:57:22.336 --> 00:57:28.657
I thought the Rangers were going to be sellers, but they've picked up a couple of pieces from Detroit.

00:57:28.657 --> 00:57:31.378
Now they also got Carson Kelly in a different move.

00:57:31.610 --> 00:57:33.177
Well, ray, I thought the Rangers were going to win the Stanley Cup.

00:57:33.177 --> 00:57:35.094
It just shows you don't know what the Rangers are ever going to do.

00:57:35.094 --> 00:57:36.516
Different Rangers.

00:57:36.516 --> 00:57:39.322
I know that, ray, but that was the point I know.

00:57:39.322 --> 00:57:41.697
Don't ever sigh at me like I'm some dolt.

00:57:41.697 --> 00:57:43.635
I am a geek who likes sports.

00:57:43.635 --> 00:57:47.501
I make jokes like that on my show and my podcast, sir Kneel.

00:57:47.501 --> 00:57:53.684
Before it's on it just felt like to say that I don't know why I did it, but it felt right yeah, that was it worked.

00:57:53.764 --> 00:57:55.625
It would have worked, we didn't have one more story.

00:57:55.625 --> 00:57:57.827
We didn't have one more marvel story to talk about.

00:57:57.827 --> 00:58:03.697
That would have been good, but rdj as doom, take it to the banks, wait to the internet.

00:58:03.697 --> 00:58:10.338
Uh, the other thing that also kind of leaked out of comic-con I'm sure we'll get it in full, like 4k and all that fun stuff in a couple of weeks.

00:58:10.338 --> 00:58:24.081
Uh, the fantastic four first trailer, for now officially the title fantastic four first steps and very much getting a captain america first avenger vibe from it and I am all for that.

00:58:24.302 --> 00:58:34.021
I imagine at the end of the film the the fantastic four will be frozen in stasis or sent forward in time or something like that, but clearly taking place in the late 60s, early 70s.

00:58:34.021 --> 00:58:38.548
We got a first glimpse at galactus um and just digging the vibe.

00:58:38.548 --> 00:58:44.001
The trailers seem to more heavily focus on reed well, there's no trailer yet, right?

00:58:44.021 --> 00:58:47.434
this is leaked footage from comic-con.

00:58:47.434 --> 00:58:48.815
Leaked footage from comic-con.

00:58:48.835 --> 00:58:57.539
Yes, but, uh, yeah, all looking forward to and I think that, yeah, I think this will be a good setup and then they'll eventually bring the Fantastic Four into the main universe.

00:58:57.539 --> 00:59:03.057
Cannot wait for that, because they also did some stuff for Thunderbolts.

00:59:03.057 --> 00:59:04.041
We know that's coming.

00:59:04.041 --> 00:59:08.500
Yeah, I think the Marvel Universe is turning a corner.

00:59:08.500 --> 00:59:09.976
I think they're getting back on track.

00:59:09.976 --> 00:59:16.815
Yeah, all for it.

00:59:16.815 --> 00:59:22.012
Um, absolutely, my phone continues to blow up because of the trade deadline trades, those trades happening oh my god.

00:59:22.072 --> 00:59:27.192
So I think, I think I, I, yeah, I think I mentioned already my one friend's like, oh man, we traded caleb ferguson.

00:59:27.192 --> 00:59:29.177
Like, yes, you don't, that happened an hour and a half ago.

00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:42.097
Um I'm live broadcasting on a podcast right now, simultaneously doing this, and you're texting me, you dare text me, stop texting me old news anyway, um, but yeah, so fantastic four.

00:59:42.277 --> 00:59:48.295
Cannot wait to see that, and it's all its glory, uh, but the leaked footage from comic-con has me excited.

00:59:48.295 --> 00:59:53.023
So, yeah, lee, any thoughts on fantastic four?

00:59:53.951 --> 01:00:00.257
I feel like the MCU feels a little bit back on its game here, Like it was feeling lost there for a while.

01:00:00.257 --> 01:00:05.523
I think that Deadpool and Wolverine gave us the feeling we had been missing for a while there.

01:00:05.523 --> 01:00:22.693
I feel like some of these decisions of changing Kang dynasty to doomsday, to consolidate things, to kind of say, hey, look this, these are the, these are the things you should be focused on, it feels like the MCU of the past a little bit more right now.

01:00:22.693 --> 01:00:32.052
Again, the one thing about RDJ whether you're bitching or love it, you've I don't know anybody who's uncomfortable with him Like, oh, it's good to have him back, it feels good.

01:00:32.052 --> 01:00:35.721
It was good to see Chris Evans in Deadpool and Wolverine.

01:00:35.721 --> 01:00:40.599
Other things too Remember what's it called?

01:00:40.599 --> 01:00:41.059
It's coming up.

01:00:41.059 --> 01:00:44.472
What's her name all along.

01:00:45.556 --> 01:00:46.077
Oh, Agatha.

01:00:46.338 --> 01:00:46.818
That's what I said.

01:00:46.818 --> 01:00:47.862
Agatha, all along is coming.

01:00:47.862 --> 01:01:02.400
Also, thunderbolts was very clearly represented at Comic-Con, which is good, because they're basically saying look, you're going to be rewarded now for all the stories that you've been following, we're consolidating, all right.

01:01:02.400 --> 01:01:12.804
I appreciate the Thunderbolts thing right, because that's six or seven shows and movies coming together and as a fan, it's like look, you're going to be rewarded, look, you're gonna be rewarded.

01:01:12.804 --> 01:01:14.052
Okay, you will be rewarded here.

01:01:14.052 --> 01:01:16.679
I have no idea how they're gonna get away from kang.

01:01:16.679 --> 01:01:18.525
All right, that I think.

01:01:18.606 --> 01:01:23.713
I think they should have robert downey jr kill all the kang, the council of kang's in the first, the first thing he doesn't I?

01:01:23.773 --> 01:01:25.382
think that that's what's gonna happen.

01:01:25.382 --> 01:01:27.610
The brilliance of that scene now is they're all in one place.

01:01:27.610 --> 01:01:31.835
Yep, you just have to zap away and that's the end of that.

01:01:31.835 --> 01:01:34.559
Don't beat up a lady next time.

01:01:34.559 --> 01:01:38.503
Yeah, fantastic Four looks like a lot of fun.

01:01:38.503 --> 01:01:42.914
It looks like a lot of fun, but they did a good job here, man.

01:01:42.914 --> 01:01:44.400
And, like I said, just the reorganization.

01:01:44.400 --> 01:01:47.416
They needed a big Comic-Con this year and they needed it to work well.

01:01:47.416 --> 01:01:49.081
Yes, and they totally did.

01:01:49.081 --> 01:01:56.313
Surprisingly, ray switching out of the mcu.

01:01:56.313 --> 01:01:58.657
We have some not negative dc kind of stuff here.

01:01:58.697 --> 01:02:20.840
By the way, dc, before we jump into it, before we jump into it, redid their logo again and they did it right they're the movie studio logo is now the dc studios logo is now the logo that was on the comics for basically our lives from like the 60s through the 90s, until they were like you know.

01:02:20.840 --> 01:02:23.112
We need to do new, we need to add a swish to it.

01:02:23.132 --> 01:02:34.641
We need to do this, we yeah no don't fix something that's not broken yeah, marvel, never did that marvel's logo has been the same for 70 years yeah, they might have gotten rid of the big m, but the marvel was always there, look.

01:02:34.641 --> 01:02:41.081
So, yeah, they went back to the classic kind of I'll just say the death of superman logo, because that's probably the focal point for everybody.

01:02:41.081 --> 01:02:51.684
Yes, yeah, um, and, by the way, for those who don't know, the old logo was kind of the d with the page kind of turn, which I, you know, I, that was the old movie logo, right, the D, and then there's like a little bit of a P.

01:02:51.704 --> 01:02:52.847
I think that was also in the comic.

01:02:52.847 --> 01:02:56.460
It's DC in a circle with like four stars.

01:02:56.599 --> 01:02:57.101
Real, simple.

01:02:57.101 --> 01:03:01.400
I'm saying the old DCU logo was the D with the P, oh, yeah, yeah.

01:03:01.400 --> 01:03:01.740
Okay.

01:03:02.362 --> 01:03:04.534
That's right it was mildly clever.

01:03:05.697 --> 01:03:07.822
but it's like what the hell are you doing, right?

01:03:07.822 --> 01:03:14.612
Like that's not dc comics?

01:03:14.612 --> 01:03:15.434
Well, we're not dc comics, we're dc movies.

01:03:15.434 --> 01:03:16.277
You're the same thing, you morons?

01:03:16.277 --> 01:03:18.646
All right, that's the one thing the mcu has always, always understood.

01:03:18.646 --> 01:03:25.161
Even in their misses, even in marvel's misses in the mcu, they are somewhat comic accurate.

01:03:25.161 --> 01:03:31.440
Yeah, all right, like like eternals, which they're never going to go back to, somewhat comic accurate.

01:03:31.440 --> 01:03:33.123
They still didn't screw that part of it up.

01:03:33.123 --> 01:03:44.498
Dc, let's give Batman guns and let's have him have guns, and then he can shoot at Superman, and well, he'll have guns.

01:03:44.498 --> 01:03:47.456
What are you thinking?

01:03:47.456 --> 01:03:48.581
Now we're past that.

01:03:48.581 --> 01:03:54.561
I do believe that this logo coming back is heavily being influenced by our friend who's making the new movies.

01:03:55.503 --> 01:03:56.063
Oh, James Gunn.

01:03:56.329 --> 01:03:57.173
I think James Gunn was like.

01:03:57.496 --> 01:03:58.130
Oh yeah, this was his.

01:03:58.130 --> 01:03:59.675
I think this was 100% his decision.

01:03:59.675 --> 01:04:00.778
You want to get people excited.

01:04:00.778 --> 01:04:01.621
This is a starting point.

01:04:01.769 --> 01:04:02.916
Put that logo back up there.

01:04:02.916 --> 01:04:05.378
But Batman Caped Crusader came out.

01:04:07.795 --> 01:04:09.398
It is coming out later this week.

01:04:09.639 --> 01:04:13.592
Thoughts Ray coming out later later this week.

01:04:13.592 --> 01:04:13.954
Thoughts right, uh.

01:04:13.954 --> 01:04:16.744
So they had a panel at comic-con and the whole series will be dropping on amazon prime.

01:04:16.744 --> 01:04:18.469
I'm still very excited for this series.

01:04:18.469 --> 01:04:20.458
Everything I'm seeing from it makes me excited.

01:04:20.458 --> 01:04:23.871
Uh, there was a lot of backlash on the internet over this.

01:04:23.871 --> 01:04:51.500
Of course, because and again, my approach is wait and see, wait and see, wait and see uh, basically, they announced that mini driver, the legendary actress, is going to be playing the voice of the penguin and that it will not be oswald cobblepot, it will be oswald uh, and that the penguin will be a female penguin this is multiverse this is I mean, yeah, this is infinite.

01:04:51.519 --> 01:04:53.344
I mean yeah this is Infinite Crisis.

01:04:53.344 --> 01:04:57.077
This is a different universe, right the Caped Crusaders taking place yeah.

01:04:57.251 --> 01:05:08.099
So anybody who complains about that, anyone who complains about that, you have to immediately say that you don't like Miles Morales' Spider-Man Sure, Because Doc Ock is a woman in that.

01:05:08.099 --> 01:05:10.458
So you can't complain about this and not about that.

01:05:11.170 --> 01:05:14.356
Yeah, it's a different universe, completely different take on the characters.

01:05:14.356 --> 01:05:17.782
Um, yeah, I mean, I think you could have gone.

01:05:17.782 --> 01:05:21.226
You could have gone, I don't know, I only had to call her oswalda.

01:05:21.226 --> 01:05:23.092
I think you could have come up with something better than that.

01:05:23.092 --> 01:05:27.885
But, um, yeah, whatever, let's see how she does.

01:05:27.885 --> 01:05:37.161
Like again, maybe, maybe, maybe, look, maybe there's a whole lot, a lot of aspects that are gonna suck and then we can definitely tear apart, but, like, we don't know yet all we know about, just need a win.

01:05:37.431 --> 01:05:45.938
We need a win for batman right now yeah, definitely, and, like I again, we're talking about all the wrong things with this show right now, and that's not good.

01:05:45.958 --> 01:06:09.173
Um, I mean the the fact that some of the things and again, this is me being 40, but like I'm starting to see stuff from like 90s batman films, like happy meals and clips, and even like batman and robin batman forever like has a little bit of rosy color to it now, like oh yeah, I kind of miss that yeah I mean, I mean look, I will say this I get it.

01:06:09.273 --> 01:06:30.514
It does feel like an unnecessary change for the penguin, well, like it just but it's one of those things where it's also like if you get mini driver to do something and she wants to do it right, yeah, like so I don't know it doesn't it doesn't bother me either way, like I don't know, I'm just gonna say on the note I just said too, this is totally off the side, I, I do believe.

01:06:31.842 --> 01:06:34.192
Right, actually, let's do a little sidetrack here real quick.

01:06:34.192 --> 01:07:08.237
Of the original four batman movies, that's batman, batman returns, batman forever, batman and robin right, I've maintained that batman forever follow me here from a story only standpoint was actually the best film, not by portrayals, not by actors, not by uh, the crazy 90s, you know, gotham city, but the story of batman forever to me was the most complex and interesting story of the duality of bruce wayne and batman.

01:07:08.237 --> 01:07:14.110
My second pick would be the original batman, but that's a pretty 89 it's a pretty black and white.

01:07:14.170 --> 01:07:15.012
You killed my mother.

01:07:15.012 --> 01:07:16.376
My name is ignacio montoya.

01:07:16.376 --> 01:07:18.581
You killed my mother prepared to die.

01:07:18.581 --> 01:07:21.858
You killed my father prepared to die, like that's what that story was right.

01:07:21.858 --> 01:07:27.179
It didn't really dive into who batman was to the city and you know well, that's the thing.

01:07:27.260 --> 01:07:28.181
But it's also like.

01:07:28.181 --> 01:07:32.739
It's also like very in a weird way, almost year one where he's still kind of establishing himself.

01:07:32.739 --> 01:07:33.461
It's an origin story.

01:07:33.690 --> 01:07:38.438
But look, I maintain this too, like Rocky III is actually my favorite Rocky story, right I?

01:07:38.498 --> 01:07:44.378
agree with that, rocky, I is great I agree with that but it's an origin story, right, rocky III is actually, and everyone loves Rocky IV.

01:07:44.378 --> 01:07:48.039
But Rocky IV is kind of a crazy story.

01:07:48.039 --> 01:07:54.835
Right, rocky III is actually the most realistic boxing story they had.

01:07:54.835 --> 01:07:56.481
Yes, right, he's a champion, he loses, he's scared, like that.

01:07:56.481 --> 01:07:57.202
That was a good story.

01:07:57.202 --> 01:08:01.775
But I love batman forever, um, because of the, the duality I mean he has a therapist in that movie.

01:08:01.775 --> 01:08:16.176
Um, and that, that, the decision that I am both bruce wayne and batman at the end, right, I was like wow, this is like really deep, but it's it's the 90s, so we can't be deep because everything's hunky-dory, right.

01:08:16.176 --> 01:08:18.079
So here's jim carrey.

01:08:18.079 --> 01:08:21.315
Oh, yeah, we changed, uh, two-faced to another actor.

01:08:21.355 --> 01:08:23.304
That happens to be a different race no big deal.

01:08:23.304 --> 01:08:28.207
Uh, that was miscast horribly that was that, like I love tommy lee jones, but I do too they should.

01:08:28.207 --> 01:08:30.715
They should have just stuck with billy d williams, they should with him.

01:08:31.055 --> 01:08:36.654
Yeah, but do you disagree with me that Batman Forever one of the best stories Batman's ever had?

01:08:36.654 --> 01:08:38.560
Story only Again.

01:08:39.893 --> 01:08:41.365
I mean it's not original.

01:08:41.365 --> 01:08:44.597
Right Like the duality of Batman is not an original idea.

01:08:44.597 --> 01:08:45.520
I'm not saying original.

01:08:45.750 --> 01:08:56.618
I'm talking about just in the films that were made Right and keep in mind too, robin is is introduced in that film too.

01:08:56.618 --> 01:08:57.943
That was well done, really well, sure, like I don't.

01:08:57.943 --> 01:09:01.554
I don't think chris, whatever his name is, I I think that movie tried to do too much I think there was again.

01:09:01.573 --> 01:09:07.278
I mean, this is the problem with the last two movies is they jammed way too much stuff not to say there were bad ideas.

01:09:07.278 --> 01:09:11.095
I mean there were bad ideas in batman robin, but it was not to say they were bad ideas in batman forever.

01:09:11.095 --> 01:09:13.118
But I think they tried to do too much.

01:09:13.118 --> 01:09:22.779
Sure, one film and it got bogged down by the robin origin story, the duality of batman, the riddler origin story, two faces do I mean?

01:09:23.100 --> 01:09:23.320
again.

01:09:23.320 --> 01:09:24.530
Just ignore two face.

01:09:24.530 --> 01:09:33.463
They didn't do the lack of duality for two face yeah, like what happened he put a manila folder on his face and became two-faced.

01:09:33.463 --> 01:09:37.619
It's like what uh anyway, uh, batman needs a win.

01:09:37.739 --> 01:09:41.652
That was the point we were making yes, and again, I think we're talking about the wrong thing here.

01:09:41.652 --> 01:09:44.480
With the cape crusader show, I hope it's good it comes out later this week.

01:09:44.480 --> 01:09:46.855
There's a good chance I will binge it over the weekend.

01:09:46.855 --> 01:09:47.738
Yeah, me too.

01:09:47.738 --> 01:09:52.293
Um, I'm curious to see what they do with this female penguin I I see here's.

01:09:52.293 --> 01:09:59.104
My thing too is like they could have avoided all of this, because you knew, they had to know that there was going to be this backlash.

01:09:59.104 --> 01:10:07.402
Right, you could have avoided all of this if you had just kind of gone, maybe more, and been like well, the penguin is a title and it's a completely different character as a woman, as the penguin.

01:10:07.402 --> 01:10:07.782
That's brilliant.

01:10:07.782 --> 01:10:09.244
You just said that Because they've done that before.

01:10:09.244 --> 01:10:11.007
They did that with the vent different character as a woman, as the penguin.

01:10:11.028 --> 01:10:11.347
That's brilliant.

01:10:11.368 --> 01:10:13.435
You just said that like because they've done that before.

01:10:13.435 --> 01:10:38.658
They did that with the ventriloquist in the comics, with the original ventriloquist, arnold wesker dies, and then somebody else finds scarface and she kind of goes crazy and she becomes the ventriloquist, like it just feels like I don't you could have had I think that would have been a better idea where, like you have a capo or a don as a mafia boss, well, now you have a penguin, right, and you could have had a female penguin, but it's a title and it's a completely different character and I think you could have avoided the people getting.

01:10:38.658 --> 01:10:44.114
You know, because, again, it's not like it's because there are we've had alternate universes where there is the what would they call?

01:10:44.170 --> 01:11:10.572
you know, the gender bend right, where you've had all of the female characters are male right we've had that before the boys does a really good job with that, by the way they've they've transitioned a lot of male characters to female, perfectly, yeah yeah, yeah, and like you could absolutely have done that, I feel like my fear is that this could be just lazy right, that this could be just a oh, we just made her a woman and that and that's it.

01:11:10.591 --> 01:11:10.931
We'll see.

01:11:10.931 --> 01:11:12.175
It all comes down to performance.

01:11:12.175 --> 01:11:13.677
It's an opportunity for me to drive her.

01:11:13.677 --> 01:11:14.740
We'll see what happens.

01:11:14.740 --> 01:11:17.154
And look, I like what you said about the penguin being a title.

01:11:17.154 --> 01:11:21.390
But I'm gonna be honest with you, ray, like I just don't give a shit.

01:11:21.390 --> 01:11:21.970
I, I don't.

01:11:21.970 --> 01:11:27.231
I don't know why people give a shit, like it was like when the mermaid was like black and people like she can't be black.

01:11:27.252 --> 01:11:27.612
I'm like she's.

01:11:27.612 --> 01:11:30.557
It's a, it's a mermaid, it's a fictional mermaid.

01:11:30.557 --> 01:11:39.095
There's no racial and that's the problem and that's really the core of the issue is that all the folks who are getting mad on the internet are wait, really just wasting their life, energy.

01:11:39.114 --> 01:11:42.791
We don't have to make everything about race and gender.

01:11:42.791 --> 01:11:44.476
It's like just shut the f?

01:11:44.476 --> 01:12:00.106
Up and enjoy you live in a country the culture war, everything would be a fight the reason I say that too is because there's actually legit things with gender and race to discuss that we ignore in the face of an animated film.

01:12:00.568 --> 01:12:05.621
Yes, shut up the penguin is not real, ladies and gentlemen.

01:12:05.661 --> 01:12:14.942
What I know it took I'm gonna call benny devito and we're gonna it took me years, me years to realize, to understand that my life was illusion.

01:12:15.002 --> 01:12:16.024
You've been the penguin.

01:12:16.024 --> 01:12:21.060
I'll say this I like Minnie Driver, but I should have been cast as the penguin.

01:12:21.140 --> 01:12:25.961
I just don't understand the anger.

01:12:25.961 --> 01:12:29.717
I don't understand any of the people being disgruntled about it.

01:12:29.717 --> 01:12:34.018
I honestly don't look at that and go like I don't do that.

01:12:34.018 --> 01:12:34.921
It's like I don't, I don't.

01:12:34.921 --> 01:12:35.944
I honestly don't, don't care.

01:12:35.944 --> 01:12:36.969
Yeah.

01:12:36.988 --> 01:12:41.662
Well, again we're at a point where we know that our energy is better spent on things that actually matter.

01:12:42.130 --> 01:12:48.497
So this is a great time to remind all of you to vote Yep.

01:12:48.497 --> 01:12:55.145
It's the most important election of your lifetime, until the next one, and you need to go vote this November 5th.

01:12:55.145 --> 01:12:56.105
God bless you all.

01:13:00.569 --> 01:13:02.203
Speaking of voting, sag-aftra has voted to go on strike again.

01:13:02.203 --> 01:13:03.009
Yeah, that was an easy one.

01:13:03.009 --> 01:13:04.493
Thank you, sir.

01:13:04.493 --> 01:13:05.975
Basically, sag.

01:13:06.015 --> 01:13:17.539
I'm surprised they didn't do this when the other, the original strike was going on against the film industry, but sag after has started a new strike against the video game industry, and understandably so.

01:13:17.539 --> 01:13:22.481
Yeah, because they have been taking advantage of voiceover and voice actors for a long time.

01:13:22.481 --> 01:13:28.802
Um, and there really isn't a general agreement for video games and new media in general.

01:13:28.802 --> 01:13:35.819
And also, partially, this is also because the video game industry in itself hasn't really properly unionized.

01:13:35.819 --> 01:13:43.399
You're starting to see it bits and pieces here or there, little by little, but again, unions are good.

01:13:45.649 --> 01:13:47.096
Protecting people is good.

01:13:47.096 --> 01:13:55.033
Billion dollar companies should pay people more money for services rendered, and that's what this is coming down to.

01:13:55.033 --> 01:14:02.159
Obviously, it's more, you know, making sure voice actors have breaks, make sure that there's safety precautions when they're forced to do mocap, things of that nature.

01:14:02.159 --> 01:14:06.819
And uh, yeah, I mean I feel bad, for I have a lot of friends who are doing video games right now.

01:14:06.819 --> 01:14:13.350
They can't talk about the games because of the strike, but at the same time, I'm also also extremely jealous because they got her.

01:14:13.350 --> 01:14:18.061
They are in video games but um and yeah, but this is a gaming industry's loss.

01:14:18.101 --> 01:14:21.257
My friend believe me yeah, it's, this is a good thing.

01:14:21.257 --> 01:14:27.679
This is a good thing in the long run and, uh, yeah, the video game industry needs to.

01:14:27.679 --> 01:14:50.578
You know, the ceos at the top of the video game industry need to be punched in the mouth and they need to understand that the again we talk about this a lot, the unprecedented growth they had in the pandemic is over now because the pandemic is over and they need to grow up and they need to understand that, like A stop wasting money on dumb stuff and pay your people what they're worth.

01:14:50.578 --> 01:15:03.542
Because in the long run, at what nintendo's doing, when things go bad for nintendo, their ceos take pay cuts, they don't fire people and then, oh, and then nintendo comes out of it and now they're making record profits again.

01:15:03.542 --> 01:15:08.247
Oh, because the people they invested in now are making these amazing video games that everybody loves.

01:15:08.287 --> 01:15:19.976
I don't know what you're talking about what a concept I would never do that ray take care of your boy, what a novel concept taking care of the people that take care of you what an idea, holy shnikes.

01:15:21.359 --> 01:15:22.000
Oh, but yeah.

01:15:22.000 --> 01:15:22.942
This is a good thing.

01:15:22.942 --> 01:15:25.372
I stand with sag after a video game industry.

01:15:25.372 --> 01:15:28.661
Get your head out of your collected asses yeah, well, look, here's the other thing too.

01:15:28.710 --> 01:15:34.363
I'll say this, right, and this is what's funny this is after they're doing this, after the film industry, right.

01:15:34.893 --> 01:15:36.447
Again, they should have done it together, in my opinion.

01:15:36.466 --> 01:15:36.810
Whoa, whoa.

01:15:36.810 --> 01:15:39.257
I like to bring this up to our audience, ray.

01:15:39.257 --> 01:15:40.996
They're doing this after the film industry.

01:15:40.996 --> 01:15:47.476
Ray, please tell people this stat once again the size of the gaming industry versus the film industry.

01:15:54.729 --> 01:15:55.551
This actually is being done backwards.

01:15:55.551 --> 01:15:58.360
Yes, the gaming industry last year made 181 billion dollars.

01:15:58.360 --> 01:15:59.203
What was that number again, my friend?

01:15:59.203 --> 01:16:01.328
181 billion dollars with an m, billion with a b.

01:16:01.328 --> 01:16:12.277
So uh, and that's more than the music, movie and movie, music and movie industries and every major sports league combined.

01:16:13.177 --> 01:16:13.818
Combined.

01:16:14.298 --> 01:16:25.686
It's MLB, nba, nfl, nhl, mls, music pro archery Throw archery in there.

01:16:25.707 --> 01:16:27.448
You can throw a few more sports in.

01:16:28.471 --> 01:16:31.751
WNBA I'm sure you can throw a few more WNBA, and the gaming industry still made more money.

01:16:31.751 --> 01:16:38.778
Wnba I'm sure you can throw a few more things in there, and the gaming industry still made more money last year than all of those combined Yep.

01:16:39.018 --> 01:16:42.881
So Sega Africa doing it right, but hopefully this starts to right the ship a little bit buddy.

01:16:42.881 --> 01:16:45.043
That industry is not going anywhere.

01:16:45.043 --> 01:16:45.984
They are losing people quick.

01:16:46.505 --> 01:16:48.407
Yes, including me.

01:16:50.069 --> 01:16:58.150
I want to say it, man, deadpool andverine was one of the best films and most fulfilling experiences I have ever experienced in a theater and I'm so thankful that that lived up to the hype.

01:16:58.150 --> 01:17:01.658
Yes, I, I probably will see it again.

01:17:01.658 --> 01:17:08.378
Uh, because there are so many holy shit moments in the film that it's almost tough to sit still and like see everything that's going on.

01:17:08.378 --> 01:17:13.518
But even in watching some of the clips again that are being leaked, it's like, oh, that's really like you see it again.

01:17:13.518 --> 01:17:18.421
We've, with even more reverence, and like the last film that I remember doing that right was probably endgame.

01:17:18.421 --> 01:17:20.230
Like obviously the avengers assemble scene.

01:17:20.230 --> 01:17:25.192
Like I've probably watched that a few hundred times that scene oh yeah, you know, I mean you, and it never gets.

01:17:25.192 --> 01:17:26.413
I still watch it when it comes on.

01:17:26.413 --> 01:17:32.925
Yeah, all right, like like this movie felt like that, especially when wolvieie and Deadpool are fighting all the Deadpool core.

01:17:32.925 --> 01:17:34.153
I mean that was pretty amazing.

01:17:34.354 --> 01:17:36.239
That was brilliant, Absolutely brilliant.

01:17:36.239 --> 01:17:44.216
So yeah, the music, how they used the soundtrack, I mean from the beginning to the end, it just it was nearly perfect.

01:17:44.717 --> 01:17:47.177
Yeah, it was paced well, unlike Acolyte.

01:17:47.177 --> 01:17:48.675
So what's next?

01:17:48.675 --> 01:17:52.617
Right Before we close up, what is the next thing coming out?

01:17:52.617 --> 01:17:53.398
Is it Agatha?

01:17:54.581 --> 01:17:56.063
For Marvel, it's Agatha.

01:17:56.082 --> 01:17:56.543
It's in general.

01:17:56.543 --> 01:17:59.037
Star Wars doesn't have anything coming anytime soon.

01:18:00.270 --> 01:18:04.645
Well, I'm not going to see it in theaters, but the Borderlands movie, which, of course, is based on a game.

01:18:04.645 --> 01:18:05.609
I'll wait for that to hit Netflix.

01:18:06.011 --> 01:18:07.176
Yeah, that's not big enough for me.

01:18:07.990 --> 01:18:09.054
The Beetlejuice sequel in.

01:18:09.073 --> 01:18:10.176
September.

01:18:10.176 --> 01:18:11.859
That's exciting.

01:18:11.859 --> 01:18:13.222
I'm excited about that for sure.

01:18:19.931 --> 01:18:23.940
I think September, october you're going to see some big stuff.

01:18:23.961 --> 01:18:26.747
starting with that, for sure, you got the new Aliens movie in a couple of weeks.

01:18:26.787 --> 01:18:27.989
I wonder what happens in that film.

01:18:28.591 --> 01:18:29.921
It's the exact same thing as the first Alien.

01:18:29.921 --> 01:18:30.283
I wonder what?

01:18:30.304 --> 01:18:34.301
I obviously Face huggers, hatch and then attach to people's faces.

01:18:34.489 --> 01:18:37.640
The humans will be the main characters that you really really care about.

01:18:37.640 --> 01:18:42.854
This time you're going to care about them and the alien is going to be kind of like a sideshow.

01:18:42.854 --> 01:18:46.680
Yeah, no, no, no, this one is different.

01:18:46.680 --> 01:18:47.582
No, no, it's not.

01:18:47.582 --> 01:18:49.765
No, it's not, no.

01:18:49.765 --> 01:18:58.393
No, they changed this thing and it's different.

01:18:58.393 --> 01:18:58.694
No, it's not, no.

01:18:58.694 --> 01:19:01.220
All right, I look I'm a fan of xenomorphs, like anybody else, but you haven't changed anything.

01:19:01.220 --> 01:19:09.002
The only the only film that ever was fun to watch was prometheus, because it's interesting and it's not really aliens, it just is a prequel to aliens.

01:19:09.002 --> 01:19:10.993
I was like oh, this is interesting, I interesting.

01:19:10.993 --> 01:19:14.761
I appreciated that film, but since then no.

01:19:16.975 --> 01:19:18.331
No, nope, no, yes.

01:19:18.331 --> 01:19:25.140
I guess the big thing would probably be yeah, I mean, I might binge Caped Crusader, but yeah, movie-wise it's Beetlejuice, beetlejuice, yeah absolutely.

01:19:25.329 --> 01:19:26.770
For those of you who don't want to say Beetlejuice twice.

01:19:27.372 --> 01:19:31.034
Yeah, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.

01:19:31.034 --> 01:19:31.916
Looking forward to that.

01:19:31.916 --> 01:19:33.117
Yeah, and then Agatha.

01:19:33.117 --> 01:19:35.498
I feel like there's a couple other things coming out.

01:19:35.498 --> 01:19:38.542
February is Captain America 4, Brave New World.

01:19:38.560 --> 01:19:39.521
That'll be fun.

01:19:39.521 --> 01:19:41.323
Thunderbolts is coming too, so we'll see.

01:19:41.623 --> 01:19:45.247
Yeah, but that's basically it.

01:19:46.970 --> 01:19:47.831
That's basically it for us this week, folks.

01:19:47.831 --> 01:19:50.913
Oh my god, we'll see you next time on Deadpool and Wolverine, like Sports.

01:19:52.314 --> 01:19:53.155
They might like sports.

01:19:53.155 --> 01:19:54.256
Wolverine likes sports.

01:19:55.497 --> 01:19:57.720
Here's a question for you, Ray, before we close this out.

01:19:57.720 --> 01:19:59.662
Yeah, you and me.

01:19:59.662 --> 01:20:01.443
Who's Deadpool and who's Wolverine?

01:20:01.443 --> 01:20:05.346
I think that's a harder to answer question than you might think on the surface.

01:20:07.250 --> 01:20:08.891
I feel like we're both Wolverine.

01:20:08.912 --> 01:20:10.172
I feel like I have a lot of Deadpool in me.

01:20:11.215 --> 01:20:12.235
I have some Deadpool too.

01:20:12.235 --> 01:20:14.037
Yeah, it's the problem.

01:20:14.118 --> 01:20:16.020
I talk too much.

01:20:16.020 --> 01:20:20.024
I make a severe amount of pop references from my day.

01:20:20.024 --> 01:20:21.065
I do too.

01:20:23.576 --> 01:20:23.756
All right.

01:20:23.756 --> 01:20:26.515
I mean I literally crack jokes now I literally get to go on stage.

01:20:27.832 --> 01:20:28.777
I feel like I'm pretty witty.

01:20:28.777 --> 01:20:30.997
I mean, I have the Wolverine body.

01:20:32.039 --> 01:20:36.734
Yeah, I have the Wolverine, berserker rage Berserker barrage.

01:20:36.734 --> 01:20:37.519
Yeah.

01:20:38.323 --> 01:20:39.529
Yeah, right, I don't know.

01:20:39.529 --> 01:20:42.219
Will you grace us all with a Berserker barrage?

01:20:42.219 --> 01:20:44.993
Berserker barrage, thank you.

01:20:44.993 --> 01:20:46.695
Thank you, it's worth it.

01:20:46.695 --> 01:20:47.756
Okay, goodbye.

01:20:48.417 --> 01:20:49.099
All right, yeah, goodbye.

01:20:49.099 --> 01:20:50.381
All right, yeah, no, let us know what you guys think.

01:20:50.381 --> 01:20:51.082
Who's more Deadpool?

01:20:51.082 --> 01:20:51.863
Who's more Wolverine?

01:20:51.863 --> 01:20:53.405
Comment below.

01:20:54.371 --> 01:20:55.636
I'm a little bit Deadpool.

01:20:55.636 --> 01:20:57.092
He's a little bit Wolverine.

01:20:57.092 --> 01:20:59.479
You should have done that.

01:20:59.479 --> 01:21:00.521
Let's go viral.

01:21:01.671 --> 01:21:02.438
Oh, my goodness.

01:21:03.524 --> 01:21:05.930
Well, on that, that's a Deadpool thing that I did there, that's a Deadpool thing On that.

01:21:05.930 --> 01:21:07.292
No, that is a very Deadpool thing.

01:21:07.351 --> 01:21:14.979
And my reaction was very Wolverine, like, oh God, all right for Babypool, for Lee, I'm Ray.

01:21:14.979 --> 01:21:21.046
Stay tuned for the mashup later this week, folks, it'll be fun, but until then this has been Geeks who Like Sports.

01:21:21.046 --> 01:21:21.926
Good night, everybody.

01:21:21.926 --> 01:21:22.106
Bye.
