Speaker B:I saw that.
Speaker A:I saw that.
Speaker B:I saw that.
Speaker B:And I was like, damn.

Speaker A:No ring jokes with?
Speaker B:Just when I feel like, you know, it's needed.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Shame.
Speaker A:Arsenal has been trusting the process all these years.
Speaker A:They've been really trusting the process is.
Speaker A:I don't know what to say.
Speaker A:I don't know what to say to my Arsenal friends out there.
Speaker A:Wait, I have no Arsenal friends.
Speaker A:I don't.
Speaker B:Leave Arsenal people alone.
Speaker B:Leave Arsenal people alone.
Speaker A:You know, Arsenal, the only fan base that only talk about football is if they know everything about football.
Speaker A:That's the only fan base.
Speaker B:The Gunners.
Speaker A:Yeah, the Gunners.
Speaker A:Yeah, the guns.
Speaker A:Pierce Morgan, right?
Speaker B:Ah, he's an Arsenal fan.
Speaker A:He's an Arsenal fan.
Speaker A:Did I say more?
Speaker B:Ah, there's a reason.
Speaker B:He's the reason they haven't won.
Speaker B:Ah, he's the reason they haven't won, bro.
Speaker A:Tierra Henry has got a lot of blood in his hands because a lot of people started supporting them when Arsenal has still had Terry Henry and they were just competitive, like, really competitive.
Speaker A:Now, you know, they haven't won the league title in 20 years.
Speaker B:What's the League title?
Speaker A:It's like the Premier League, you know, you've got the different leagues.
Speaker A:You haven't won that in 20 years.
Speaker B:Damn.
Speaker A:Yeah, 20 years.
Speaker A:Damn.
Speaker B:They haven't trained.
Speaker B:When was the last time they touched a trophy?
Speaker A: rophy was the FA cup final in: Speaker A:17.
Speaker A:Where they beat us in the final.
Speaker B:We're pushing 10 years.
Speaker A:Chelsea, you better do the right thing with the Conference League.
Speaker A:You better do something with the Conference League, man.
Speaker B:You're pushing 10 years out.
Speaker B:What?
Speaker A:Oh, man.
Speaker A:They always come second in the league for the past three seasons.
Speaker A:They always come second and they always lose on the first.
Speaker A:On the last day, of course.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:Same with Liverpool.
Speaker A:Liverpool's winning.
Speaker A:But anyway, so we are here to talk as a sequel to last week's Discussion.
Speaker A:We are talking about the greatest sports wins.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:That we've experienced.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:Those that made us happy.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:Made us cry.
Speaker A:Joy.
Speaker A:I'm a crier.
Speaker A:I'm a crier.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:I'm a crier.
Speaker A:I'm a crier.
Speaker A:I'm a crier.
Speaker A:Because.
Speaker B:In tears.
Speaker A:Because success and failure are great teachers.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:And they both.
Speaker A:Both of them are not permanent.
Speaker A:But sometimes the enemy of success is success.
Speaker A:Sometimes we'll have a team that really does well.
Speaker A:They don't do well for a long time.
Speaker A:Like Arsenal, they were hot and then now they're not.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Anything titled 20 years.
Speaker A:It's something.
Speaker A:It says something about a team that can win and just keep on winning.
Speaker A:Like Real Madrid, like with the.
Speaker A:Comes to the Champions League, they win and they just keep on winning.
Speaker B:5.
Speaker A:No, they're 15.
Speaker A:They have 15 Champions League trophies.
Speaker A:They won three in a row.
Speaker A:20, 16, 17, 18.
Speaker A:They won those in a row.
Speaker A: And then they won: Speaker A: then they just won now again,: Speaker A:Need I say the last two they wanted with no Cristiano Ronaldo.
Speaker A:So it's in the.
Speaker A:It's in the cultures in their DNA.
Speaker B:Culture.
Speaker A:What we're talking about culture.
Speaker A:The culture within the.
Speaker B:How many coaches have.
Speaker A:They've been quite steady with the coaches.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:They'll swap some over, but then, like, they've been Iconcellotti, the Italian with the.
Speaker A:Who raises the eyebrow and they just go and win.
Speaker A:Yeah, He's.
Speaker A:He's.
Speaker A:He's been there for quite a span.
Speaker A:So they don't rotate them like Chelsea does or Manchester United has done the past couple of years.
Speaker A:So they're.
Speaker A:They're.
Speaker A:They've got the culture of winning.
Speaker A:So there's something about you when you win, you go back and you beat yourself again and you win again.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:That's why I think in the NBA, it's hard to three peat.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:No, no one's done it since Shaq and Kobe.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:But it's hard to repeat in any sport, bro.
Speaker B:Yeah, it's hard to repeat in any sports.
Speaker A:I mean, Pat Mahomes tried to do it.
Speaker A:Didn't get done.
Speaker B:Didn't get it done.
Speaker B:Because when you three peat, Steph Curry.
Speaker A:Tried to do it and then Kay Thompson went down.
Speaker B:Kawhi went beast mode.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Like, it's really, really, like it's diffic to three people.
Speaker B:But if you do, there's nothing that establishes and asserts dominance quite like that.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:It's like.
Speaker B:Yeah, y'all couldn't, you know, Many.
Speaker B:You know how many years.
Speaker B:You know how long three years is, dog?
Speaker A:It is quite long.
Speaker B:Three years.
Speaker B:Of winning.
Speaker A:Of winning.
Speaker B:Of winning.
Speaker B:You are the person who's winning three years.
Speaker B:Mamelodi Sundowns.
Speaker B:How do you do it?
Speaker A:11 years.
Speaker A:I think you win like 11 years.
Speaker B:Eight in a row now.
Speaker A:Seven.
Speaker A:Eight in a row, dog.
Speaker A:Pep Guardiola and Manchester City, they won four Premier League titles in a row.
Speaker A:They're not going to win now, but like, you know what I mean?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Manchester City.
Speaker B:You left the locker room.
Speaker A:Let's try again next season.
Speaker B:Locker room.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:So what is the one.
Speaker A:Listen, name your 1 sports win that had you elated.
Speaker A:And it's any stage of competition.
Speaker A:It could be just a normal league game.
Speaker A:It can be like a semi final.
Speaker A:But we all know that finals have a lot of gravitas and importance when it comes to.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:Winning.
Speaker B:That's what I was thinking.
Speaker B: That, that: Speaker A:Take off my list now.
Speaker B:I gotta take that off my list.
Speaker A:I gotta take that off my list.
Speaker B:Yo, yo.
Speaker B:Ah, that, that championship holds a lot of weight.
Speaker B:It holds a lot of weight, bro.
Speaker B:First of all, when are you gonna get the finals mvp?
Speaker B:Steph?
Speaker B:Card.
Speaker B:Oh, and now you're gonna get the right.
Speaker B:What?
Speaker A:That was a narrative.
Speaker B:That was a narrative like you, you've got three rings, zero finals MVPs.
Speaker B:When are you going to get the finals MVP?
Speaker B:Well, got it.
Speaker A:He got two MVPs that season.
Speaker B:Do we count it?
Speaker A:Yeah, let's, let's count it like that trophy official accolade.
Speaker B:Might as well throw in the All Star game MVP as well.
Speaker A:I mean, hey, hey, he won.
Speaker B:He wanted that season.
Speaker A:Hey, I, I.
Speaker A:Listen, listen.
Speaker B:He wanted that season was not the.
Speaker A:Best player in the All Star game.
Speaker B:See how I can't even answer that now?
Speaker B:We can't even answer that.
Speaker B:But yeah, that ring, bruh, just the warriors, they didn't even make the playoffs the year before.
Speaker A:Didn't make the playoffs.
Speaker B:They didn't even make the playoffs the year before.
Speaker B:They lost to LeBron in the play in.
Speaker B:And they were in the play in tournament.
Speaker B:Yeah, they lost to LeBron the play in tournament, dog.
Speaker B:I'll never forget that shot that LeBron hit over, over Draymond in the fourth quarter and he, and he got, he won them the game and he just.
Speaker B:After Draymond poked him in the eyes and he, he says he couldn't see anything.
Speaker A:Why would you do this?
Speaker A:But there's a men's society but anyway.
Speaker B:But Steph, what he.
Speaker B:What the warriors had to do because already we didn't expect that from them.
Speaker B:We didn't expect to run from that team because they just gotten back into the playoffs.
Speaker B:They're still trying to get back into the groove of things.
Speaker B:But sure enough, Steph gets hot defensively as well.
Speaker B:Steph gets hot.
Speaker B:Jordan Poole gets flaming hot.
Speaker B:Andrew Wiggins starts balling well.
Speaker B:Draymond starts balling well.
Speaker B:They're all firing on Kavan Looney is just Dennis Rodman out there getting 20 rebounds a game.
Speaker A:20 rebounds a game.
Speaker B:Kavan Looney, that stretch of playoffs.
Speaker A:Did he get 20 rebounds a game.
Speaker B:That stretch of playoffs?
Speaker B:Kavan.
Speaker B:Kavan Looney was getting rebounds galore, bro.
Speaker B:Dennis Rodman numbers.
Speaker B:Kavan Looney.
Speaker B:Looney.
Speaker A:Is it L, double O, N E.
Speaker B:Y20, 22 playoff stats.
Speaker B:Rebounds, rebounds, career stats.
Speaker B:Now it's.
Speaker B:Man, why is it.
Speaker B:Why is it giving me.
Speaker B:Why is it giving me this thing?
Speaker B:I'm sorry I'm taking so long, but.
Speaker A:20 rebounds a a game.
Speaker B:20 rebounds a game.
Speaker A:Rebounds a game.
Speaker B:Kid you not okay.
Speaker B:Golden state in the first round against Sacramento.
Speaker B:He got first round against Sacramento.
Speaker B:He got 21.
Speaker B:21 rebounds.
Speaker B:Game one.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:21 rebounds.
Speaker B:13, 22, 14, 20.
Speaker A:I don't even know.
Speaker B:He's not even seven feet tall.
Speaker A:So do you think it was just them being destined, right?
Speaker B:It was destined.
Speaker B:It was Boston's inexperience as well.
Speaker B:It played a very.
Speaker A:What.
Speaker A:What they just did.
Speaker A:They choke.
Speaker B:Boston choked.
Speaker B:Because Golden State had no business beating Boston.
Speaker A:What?
Speaker A:Did Golden State have any business be getting.
Speaker A:Getting to the finals?
Speaker B:Not even that.
Speaker B:Nah.
Speaker B:Because they beat Denver.
Speaker B:No, they beat Luca, I think.
Speaker B:I don't remember who they had to go through.
Speaker B:That was like years ago.
Speaker B:Now you're taking me back.
Speaker B:And now all I remembered was the finals.
Speaker B:Golden State had no business being there, like at all.
Speaker B:Yeah, because that, like I said, the previous season they hadn't even.
Speaker B:They didn't even make the finals.
Speaker B:And besides, Steph, they didn't really have a proper co star.
Speaker B:Clay was coming back from a two year hiatus because his ankles are shot.
Speaker B:And even then he.
Speaker B:He couldn't shoot.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And then Jordan Poole was still young and doing his thing, but shout out to him.
Speaker B:He got hot at the right time.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:And same thing with Andrew Wiggins.
Speaker B:Number one pick, Andrew Wiggins finally lived up to that and he carried the warriors to that championship.
Speaker B:Iggy was given the right amount of veteran experience off the bench.
Speaker B:It's just everything clicked at the right time.
Speaker B:And then Steph just lost his mind and was one of the best basketball players on the planet for that stretch as well.
Speaker B:And then.
Speaker A:Oh, and.
Speaker A:And there was no KD on that team, right?
Speaker B:There was no kd.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker B:That's the thing.
Speaker B:That's the thing.
Speaker B:What are y'all gonna do now that KD's gone and they went and they won.
Speaker B:They went and they won.
Speaker B:KD hasn't won a thing since.
Speaker A:Oh, shame.
Speaker A:Poor Katie.
Speaker A:Easy money, stipend state.
Speaker A:Let me just go back there.
Speaker B:Nah, nah, nah.
Speaker B:He's not gonna go back.
Speaker A:Why?
Speaker B:He's not gonna go back.
Speaker A:Why?
Speaker B:It's a legacy thing.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker B:And so he doesn't really.
Speaker B:He doesn't really.
Speaker B:He doesn't really rock with Steve.
Speaker B:With Steve Kerr.
Speaker B:It doesn't really rock with Steve Kerr, does it at all?
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker A:I thought you knew.
Speaker A:I thought you had them against guys.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker B:I don't know the extreme gozzi like that.
Speaker B:All I know is KD and Steve.
Speaker B:KD doesn't rock with Steve Kerr.
Speaker B:And it's part of the reason why he left, don't you think?
Speaker B:Because think about it this way.
Speaker B:Why would.
Speaker B:Why would you have left that team?
Speaker B:You are guaranteed to win every season.
Speaker B:Why would you have left.
Speaker B:Why would you leave that team?
Speaker A:Ego.
Speaker A:I want to prove I can do it on my own.
Speaker B:I don't think he cares about that.
Speaker A:Do you know he cares about that?
Speaker B:I don't think he cares about that.
Speaker B:If he did, then he wouldn't have signed with Golden State to begin with.
Speaker A:Well, he got his two days.
Speaker A:Now he's like, now I'm out.
Speaker B:If he did that, then he wouldn't have recruited James Harden and Kyrie in Brooklyn.
Speaker A:Okay, fine.
Speaker A:So probably he didn't rock with Steve Kerr.
Speaker A:Maybe that's why.
Speaker A:Maybe that's what happened.
Speaker B:Maybe he just doesn't want to be coached by Steve's because he got Steve Nash fired in Brooklyn as well.
Speaker A:Like, what did you ask thieves do to Mr.
Speaker A:KD?
Speaker B:What did they do?
Speaker B:Yeah, I bet they did that thing to him.
Speaker B:The thing that they do to skinny people.
Speaker B:They're like, listen.
Speaker A:That'S evil, man.
Speaker A:That's evil.
Speaker A:Yeah, and I think that that that ring cemented Steph Curry.
Speaker B:That ring puts deaf top 10 for me.
Speaker B:Yeah, that ring puts stuff in the top 10.
Speaker B:And if you don't have Steph in the top 10 after that ring.
Speaker B:Let's not talk basketball.
Speaker A:Katie's top 10.
Speaker A:I was over Steph Curry.
Speaker A:Okay, Katie is top 10 of Steph Curry.
Speaker B:Are we talking on court abilities or just.
Speaker A:I'm just talking all time.
Speaker A:I'm talking about all time list.
Speaker A:He's.
Speaker A:Do you not listen to what Stephen A.
Speaker A:Smith said?
Speaker A:That's Stephen A.
Speaker A:Smith has his top 10.
Speaker B:Is that who we're listening to?
Speaker A:Hey, he's the Michael Jordan of sports broadcast.
Speaker B:Is that who we're listening to?
Speaker A:That's who we're listening to.
Speaker B:I'd rather listen to Max Kellerman.
Speaker B:Fate of the universe.
Speaker B:The aliens have the beam pointed on Earth.
Speaker B:I want Igu Dala.
Speaker A:Oh, man.
Speaker A:Steph is definitely.
Speaker B:Do you see that they're retiring his jersey even.
Speaker A:Oh, Stephy number nine.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:Well, well, why are they retaining.
Speaker B:Exactly, exactly.
Speaker B:No matter how you look at it, retiring Iggy's jersey.
Speaker A:Well, how low are the standards or how high the standard?
Speaker A:Like what's the standard to retire a jersey?
Speaker A:What do you need to do?
Speaker A:Steph?
Speaker B: I understand: Speaker A:2022 finals he won that put a Golden State.
Speaker B: et a jersey beside before the: Speaker A:But that made it no doubt.
Speaker A:I think that that.
Speaker B:Ah, that was no doubt.
Speaker B:I think there was no doubt the minute they won the championship.
Speaker A:We just said that the retiring east jersey and there was a doubt there.
Speaker A:So clearly there are some doubts.
Speaker B:Are we really?
Speaker B:Nah, Doc.
Speaker B:Steph Curry is not Andre.
Speaker B:Andre Godala is not Steph Curry.
Speaker B:He's not?
Speaker A:No, he's not.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker A:But that's Kellerman.
Speaker A:What's IGA$?
Speaker B:Yeah, well, this is why.
Speaker B:This is why Max shouldn't talk basketball.
Speaker A:That's why he should talk basketball.
Speaker A:So I'm gonna Stephen A.
Speaker A:Smith.
Speaker B:But no, Iggy played important minutes on championship teams.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:Steph made them a championship team.
Speaker B:That's very true.
Speaker A:That's very true.
Speaker B:We look at expectations of the Warriors.
Speaker B:Why?
Speaker B:Because Steph is on.
Speaker A:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker A:Like, you hear what Aries Spears had to say.
Speaker B:What do you say?
Speaker A:Like there's a difference.
Speaker A:Like, like you guys bring up Robert Ori versus Michael Jordan and say Robert got seven rings and Michael Jordan has six.
Speaker A:Like I have to cut up your food and make you eat it.
Speaker A:That's what.
Speaker A:Like he said, there's a difference between winning for a reason and being the reason that you win.
Speaker A:Like there's a difference between the two.
Speaker A:Like for real, one for a reason.
Speaker A:He won the reason that he won.
Speaker B:So exactly what's the reason?
Speaker B:Yes, yes.
Speaker B:Even though he was robbed of a finals mvp.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:For playing defense on the brand dog.
Speaker B:That's.
Speaker B:That's mad.
Speaker B:You know how good you have to be for the dude to get finals MVP because he guarded you.
Speaker A:That's the narrative.
Speaker A:Actually.
Speaker A:That is what the narrative is.
Speaker B:What, what else could.
Speaker B:Could it be?
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A: It's a Kawhi Leonardo: Speaker B:But Kawhi was young and he played meaningful minutes alongside an old Tim Duncan, an old Manu, and an old Tony was guarding LeBron, and he was guarding LeBron.
Speaker B:But let's not act like he still wasn't the best player on that spurs team.
Speaker A:He was the best player on the spurs team.
Speaker A:The best.
Speaker A:The best.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A: So: Speaker B:Oh, yeah?
Speaker B:What else?
Speaker A:Oh, I, I got two great sporting events.
Speaker B: lse happened that happened in: Speaker A:I'm gonna start with tennis.
Speaker A:Say that before you, you guys.
Speaker A: Like before: Speaker A: even being at the tournament.: Speaker A:He got covert as well.
Speaker B:Oh, damn.
Speaker A:We didn't even know he was going to play tennis ever again.
Speaker B:Okay?
Speaker A: He starts the: Speaker A:He wins a very A2 ATP 250 level tournaments, like a fourth tier tournament.
Speaker B:Okay?
Speaker A:Novak Djokovic gets banned from Australian Open final.
Speaker A:Australian Open.
Speaker A:That's the only reason.
Speaker B:Because Novak no vaccine.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:So then I, I'm not, I'm not even going to act like Nadal wins that if not Novak is there.
Speaker A:It's not happening.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker B:Was he on form that time?
Speaker A:Djokovic is always on form, okay?
Speaker A:Like, he's undeniable.
Speaker A:It's undeniable.
Speaker A:You Nova Cater.
Speaker A:Stop it, stop it, stop.
Speaker A:He's always on form, especially Australia.
Speaker A:Straight Open.
Speaker A:He's won that event 10 times.
Speaker A:That's his event.
Speaker A:That.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker A:That.
Speaker A:That is his event.
Speaker A:If I win an event 10 times.
Speaker B:10 times is mad.
Speaker A:That's 10 years, dog.
Speaker B:That's what I'm saying.
Speaker A:That's 10 years.
Speaker A:So Nadal is 35, going on 36.
Speaker A:And tennis, unfortunately, is a young man's game.
Speaker B:Those legs gotta move, yo.
Speaker B:Those legs gotta work, yo.
Speaker A:Even Djokovic now for the time I think has started to catch up with him.
Speaker A:He's not winning as much as he used to.
Speaker B:Gotta slide them puppies, bro.
Speaker B:Slide them puppies, boy.
Speaker A:So he.
Speaker A:He plays a five setter in the quarterfinal, four setter in the semi final.
Speaker A:And then in the final, he's playing against Daniel Medvedev, who beat Djokovic in the U.
Speaker A:S.
Speaker A:Open.
Speaker A:Prior in straight sets.
Speaker B:Oh, damn.
Speaker A:Dominated.
Speaker B:Oh, damn.
Speaker A:So I'm like, this is not.
Speaker A:It's not gonna go well.
Speaker A:The first two sets.
Speaker A:Daniel is killing it, okay?
Speaker A:Two and a half sets.
Speaker A:He's killing him.
Speaker A:He's two.
Speaker A:And he has literally, I think, two or three more games to win, okay?
Speaker A:And then Daniel wins.
Speaker A:Ah, the dog comes back.
Speaker A:He wins that set, okay?
Speaker A:We're like, hey, it's a fluke.
Speaker A:Then he wins the second set.
Speaker A:The.
Speaker A:The fourth is.
Speaker A:I'm not great.
Speaker A: ,: Speaker A:He's up a break, and then he loses the advantage.
Speaker A:And I'm like, no doubt.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:I was watching this.
Speaker A:I was watching.
Speaker A:You're like, let's turn it over, okay?
Speaker A:I had pitch ptsd.
Speaker A:I like.
Speaker B:You could.
Speaker B:You could see it now.
Speaker B:You can see Andy Murray just celebrating.
Speaker A:And then Chovich is over there.
Speaker A:I'm like, no, no, no, no.
Speaker A:Then here's what happened.
Speaker A:He gets the advantage again.
Speaker A:And then he serves for the match, and then he closes it out.
Speaker A:Five hour ten.
Speaker A:Five hours, ten minutes.
Speaker A:That match.
Speaker A:They call it the miracle in Melbourne, okay?
Speaker A:They call it the miracle in Malborne because it's.
Speaker A:It's the greatest comeback in all of Tennessee.
Speaker A:All of tennis is the greatest comeback ever.
Speaker A:Ever.
Speaker A:No, ever.
Speaker A:Because of the narrative around it, okay?
Speaker A:He's not the first person to win a grand slam from Tuesday style, okay?
Speaker A:But he's facing someone who's 10 years younger than him, who's better on a surface.
Speaker A:On that surface than him, and who just wiped the novak off the court.
Speaker B:Previously, touche.
Speaker A:And Nadal had been to six of these finals.
Speaker A:He lost four of them.
Speaker A:All of them heartbreakers.
Speaker A:So I was like, I'm gonna have my heart broken.
Speaker B:I hate.
Speaker A:I hate the Australian.
Speaker A:I hated the Australian Open because of that.
Speaker A:I hated it.
Speaker B:It's heartbreak.
Speaker A:Nah, it's just heartbreak, bruh.
Speaker A:It's like division rivals against division rivals.
Speaker A:Match against the Steelers.
Speaker A:You hate those.
Speaker A:Those matches already because they're heartbreaking.
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:What?
Speaker B:I can't tell you how stressed I was when I found out that we had the Steelers in the first round.
Speaker A:You beat them, right?
Speaker B:Beat them.
Speaker B:But I was still like, yo, yo, yo, imagine that.
Speaker A:Stress.
Speaker A:Every time the Australian Open comes around.
Speaker B:I'm like, yo, I.
Speaker A:When you won, yo, my wife Zama was there.
Speaker A:My mom was there.
Speaker A:Natal one, and I fell down on the floor.
Speaker A:I'm like, ah, this is beautiful.
Speaker A:My soul is free.
Speaker A:My mom is like.
Speaker B:Have you started going crazy?
Speaker A:Yeah, My mom knows.
Speaker B:My mom knows.
Speaker B:And she.
Speaker B:And she's telling you always, standard procedure.
Speaker A:Standard procedure.
Speaker A:I was like, had Nadal retired, then my soul would have been free because of all the heartbreak that happened there.
Speaker B:Would have been worth it.
Speaker A:I would have been worth it.
Speaker A:That.
Speaker A:That was a very, very.
Speaker A:That was.
Speaker A:That was.
Speaker A: t was more emotional than the: Speaker A:I said emotional, not better.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:No, no, no.
Speaker A:Because that final.
Speaker A:That.
Speaker B:That's.
Speaker A:We'll get into that.
Speaker A: So Rafael Nadal,: Speaker A:And to be the first and only man at that time to have 21 Grand Slam titles, beating Roger Federer's record of 20.
Speaker B:I don't want your beef with Roger.
Speaker A:As I said, I don't know what you're with Roger Federer.
Speaker B:I don't know what your beef with Feder.
Speaker A:I beef with the Federal fans.
Speaker A:Isn't it?
Speaker B:Oh, man.
Speaker A:Oh, man.
Speaker A:Give us another one.
Speaker A:What's.
Speaker A:What?
Speaker A:Another one of your.
Speaker A:Your.
Speaker A:Your great sports victories that you can recall.
Speaker B:2020.
Speaker B:Super Bowl 20.
Speaker A:20.
Speaker B:2020.
Speaker B:Super Bowl.
Speaker A:Denada TV 12.
Speaker B:Yes, yes.
Speaker B:Okay, picture this, all right?
Speaker B:You're 43 years.
Speaker B:You've won a championship.
Speaker B:At 43 already.
Speaker B:It's like.
Speaker B:Okay, okay.
Speaker B:Yeah, we get it.
Speaker B:You really good.
Speaker A:No, like.
Speaker B:Like, like, remember when.
Speaker B:When Tom Brady retired the first time that before he came back for a season, when he retired, even Shannon Sharp was like, I hope the NFL.
Speaker B:I hope y'all ashamed of yourselves.
Speaker B:Y'all better be ashamed of yourselves.
Speaker B:None of y'all could beat this, man.
Speaker B:He had to leave.
Speaker B:He's literally leaving.
Speaker B:He's not retiring.
Speaker A:He's right.
Speaker B:He's retiring.
Speaker B:He's leaving.
Speaker B:I hope all of y'all.
Speaker B:For 20 years, no one could beat this dude.
Speaker B:But fine.
Speaker A:That's a lie.
Speaker A:Because Eli Manning.
Speaker B:Oh, wait.
Speaker B:Yeah, there we go.
Speaker A:It doesn't matter.
Speaker A:Eli, man.
Speaker A:Tom Brady, he's.
Speaker B:Yeah, your mama's watching.
Speaker B:What you say?
Speaker A:He made him his slave.
Speaker A:There we go.
Speaker A:He owned him.
Speaker A:Eli Manning is Tom Brady's father.
Speaker A:Father.
Speaker B:Yo.
Speaker B:Ah, for real, Doug.
Speaker B:That one.
Speaker B:That one still hurts.
Speaker A:Why?
Speaker B:But let's.
Speaker A:Let's get.
Speaker A:Let's finish with the victory.
Speaker A:We talk about victory.
Speaker B:You're 43 years old.
Speaker A:43.
Speaker A:You should retire.
Speaker B:You're 43 years old.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:You are playing against who?
Speaker B:Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker B:Oh, in the super bowl.
Speaker A:The bad man.
Speaker A:Patrick Mahomes, the future goat dog.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And this is a team you just left the team you've played 20 years for and this is your first year with this team.
Speaker B:Now it's a whole new system, new coach, new co stars, everything.
Speaker B:The only player on that team that you've played with is Rob Gronkowski who you had to get out of to who you had to convince to come out of retirement to come join you in Tampa.
Speaker A:Rob Gronkowski was on the the Buccaneers for three years.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Oh wow.
Speaker B:Rob Gronkowski came out of retirement just to go play with Tom Brady at the buck on the Buccaneers.
Speaker A:So that that super bowl final or super bowl.
Speaker A:Yeah, right.
Speaker A:Was the so D and as true to form one anyway car Chiefs.
Speaker A:They lost yesterday.
Speaker A:They lost yesterday.
Speaker B:Of course they did.
Speaker A:Nobody.
Speaker B:Of course they did.
Speaker A:Rob Karkowski.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Rob Gronkowski came out of retirement and that's the only other player that Tom Brady had played with.
Speaker B:So news coach, new system, new coach, new system, new town, new conference.
Speaker A:You went to a different conference.
Speaker B:Tom Brady, the patriots are in the afc.
Speaker A:He went to the nfc.
Speaker B:He went to the nfc.
Speaker B:Mind you.
Speaker B:Mind you.
Speaker B:Who did he beat in the wild card round?
Speaker B:The New Orleans Saints.
Speaker B:They beat the Saints in the wild card round.
Speaker B:That's very important because the Saints had the Buccaneers number in the regular season.
Speaker B:Swept them both games.
Speaker B:As a matter of fact, the one game was on Christmas.
Speaker B:I'll never forget.
Speaker B:I think they beat them 20 to 3.
Speaker B:20 something to 3.
Speaker A:20 something to 3.
Speaker B:All I know is that they got what they got blown out the building and then the second game was a bit tight, but they still lost to the Saints.
Speaker B:So when they went to the Saints for the playoffs, it was personal.
Speaker A:Oh my.
Speaker B:It was personal and they handled their business.
Speaker B:I'm trying to remember who we had in the division or in the second round.
Speaker B:Are we now in the divisional round?
Speaker B:No, no, me.
Speaker B:I was a Tom Brady fan before as a buck.
Speaker B:Before as a Baltimore Ravens fan.
Speaker B:Like let's.
Speaker A:So if Lamar and braid are going at it, who you supporting?
Speaker A:Brady.
Speaker A:Dr.
Speaker A:Umar's watching.
Speaker A:I'm just saying.
Speaker B:Thing is I've watched Lamarche play longer now.
Speaker B:So I've had.
Speaker B:I've grown more attached to him.
Speaker A:Just saying hypothetically, we've got the Ravens versus the Buccaneers or Patriots with TB12 there.
Speaker A:Who?
Speaker A:You?
Speaker B:Is it a playoff game?
Speaker A:Huh?
Speaker B:Is it a playoff game?
Speaker A:Finals.
Speaker B:Oh.
Speaker B:Then how will Lamar get there?
Speaker B:Let's start.
Speaker A:I said this is hypothetically.
Speaker B:Okay, fine.
Speaker B:In any, in any playoff game, I'll take Tom Brady over the next guy.
Speaker A:No, no.
Speaker A:Who do you want to win?
Speaker B:Who do I want to win with?
Speaker B:With their present resumes.
Speaker A:How many caveats do you want me to throw in here?
Speaker B:With their present resumes?
Speaker B:Because losing one wouldn't hurt for Tom Brady.
Speaker B:But.
Speaker B:But Lamar losing.
Speaker A:Which one would hurt most?
Speaker B:Which one would hurt most?
Speaker B:Lamar not getting a Super Bowl.
Speaker A:Oh, let's say you had a Super Bowl.
Speaker A:You don't have that emotional baggage to be like, oh, can you at least get one?
Speaker A:Because you look prettier with the Super Bowl.
Speaker A:I'm just.
Speaker B:Yeah, I think I'd still rock with TB12.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker B:He's the reason I started watching football.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:That'll.
Speaker B:That'll never go away.
Speaker B:It's tough.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker B:Yeah, I forgot who we played in the divisional round.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:But in the.
Speaker B:Cut in the, in the conference championship game, who did we play?
Speaker B:The.
Speaker B:The one and only.
Speaker B:The one man to have the first seed three seasons in a row and not even make it to the champ and not even make it to the Super Bowl, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker B:Do you realize Aaron Rodgers has been to one super bowl and won one?
Speaker B:And he won one with the packers of Green Bay.
Speaker B:With the packers of green.
Speaker A:Back in 20.
Speaker B:Okay, 11.
Speaker B:Yeah, I think not 10 was Drew Brees.
Speaker B:I think.
Speaker B:Okay, 11.
Speaker A:So that's the most useless first seed ever.
Speaker B:Ever.
Speaker A:This is why I was saying this.
Speaker A:Ever.
Speaker B:He had a.
Speaker B:He did that for like three seasons in a row.
Speaker A:That's why the first C doesn't matter.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker B:It does.
Speaker B:Low key.
Speaker B:It does.
Speaker B:Where is it in football?
Speaker B:It doesn't.
Speaker B:Because football, like I'll always say, the finality of everything, you have one game in basketball, you have a series.
Speaker B:It's a seven game series.
Speaker B:And unfortunately, in a seven game series, the odds are stick.
Speaker B:Are stacked against the lower seed.
Speaker B:The lower seed.
Speaker B:Because at the end of the day, you give any teams that many chances to play against each other, chances are the better team will win.
Speaker B:Because it's not even a case where even if the best team does scrape out a win.
Speaker B:Bro, we gotta do that three more times.
Speaker B:We gotta do that three more times.
Speaker A:True.
Speaker B:We gotta do that three more times.
Speaker B:In this, in the NFL, we scrape out this one win, our job is done.
Speaker B:Our job is like Guys, we know.
Speaker B:We know we're going against these guys.
Speaker B:All we need to do is beat them tonight, bruh.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:In the end.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:Falcons.
Speaker A:All you had to do was God them.
Speaker A:Like, I told you I was gonna do some.
Speaker A:Like that.
Speaker A:That's an atrocity, actually, dog.
Speaker B:That game, that game, that game.
Speaker A:That was an atrocity.
Speaker A:That was an atrocity.
Speaker A:I was on the side of the Falcons.
Speaker A:No, you melted down in the end.
Speaker B:There's no way to describe it.
Speaker B:It's a meltdown.
Speaker B:It's a meltdown.
Speaker B:There's no other way.
Speaker B:No, there's no other way.
Speaker B:Not like that.
Speaker B:Not like that.
Speaker B:Not when the odds were stacked in our favor.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker A:Because.
Speaker A:Because like there, it was harder.
Speaker A:Daniel Medvedev, he had.
Speaker A:It was harder for him to keep that lead than what the Falcons had to do against Tom Brady.
Speaker A:I did some analysis on and I'm like, guys, all you have to do is defend.
Speaker A:Score one more point.
Speaker B:Like get one more touchdown.
Speaker A:Anyway.
Speaker A:TB12, Rob Gronkowski.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:TB12, Rob Gronkowski.
Speaker B:Cool.
Speaker B:And so new system, new city, new new team, new conference, new everything.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And who, who are you playing against in the Super Bowl?
Speaker B:Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey.
Speaker B:This is when Taron Matthew was still on the team and he was one of the best defenders in the league.
Speaker B:This was a Chiefs team that was designed to win.
Speaker B:And then who did he beat to get there?
Speaker B:The Saints.
Speaker B:Who had his number the whole season.
Speaker B:Divisional round.
Speaker B:I'm forgetting who they had still.
Speaker B:And then they had to go against Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker B:Still Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker B:And they won a championship all at a.
Speaker B:As a 43 year old quarterback.
Speaker A:So he beat Aaron Rogers.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:On the way to get there.
Speaker B:Yeah, he beat Drew Brees to get there.
Speaker B:I don't know if.
Speaker B:I don't know if you know who Drew Breeze is.
Speaker A:No, no, don't.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:What does Drew Brees do now?
Speaker B:I, I, I love.
Speaker B:I love AI Because.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:It, it gives us.
Speaker B:I want you.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:Now, where are the headphones?
Speaker B:Put these on.
Speaker B:Put these on.
Speaker A:Do I have a jacket?
Speaker A:I got the jacket.
Speaker A:I don't need that.
Speaker B:Right here, bro.
Speaker B:Right here, bro.
Speaker B:Do you think, Bro.
Speaker B:Now I want you.
Speaker B:Hey, Google, what are Drew Brees achievements in the NFL?
Speaker B:Can you hear a thing?
Speaker B:You can't hear it?

Speaker A:Let me.
Speaker A:Let me reach out myself.
Speaker A:Let me.
Speaker B:Fine, fine.
Speaker B:Let me open his resume.
Speaker B:Let me open his resume.
Speaker A:And this is the person that TB12 beat, right?
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker B:Out loud.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:Super bowl champion, Super Bowl MVP.
Speaker A:Only one.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A: Offensive Player of the Year,: Speaker A: L Comeback Player of the Year: Speaker A: First Team All Pro: Speaker B:Yes, sir.
Speaker A: -: Speaker A:Seven times NFL passing yards leader.
Speaker A:What position does this guy play?
Speaker B:He's a quarterback.
Speaker B: Tom Brady broke his record in: Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Drew Brees retired with the most Passing yards in NFL.
Speaker A:NFL passing yards leader.
Speaker A:NFL passing touchdowns leader.
Speaker A:2 NFL passing rating leader 3 times NFL completion percentage leader.
Speaker A:New Orleans and Orleans Saints hall of Fame, Arduino Ward.

Speaker A:Oh, Drew Brees is.
Speaker A:Is legit.
Speaker B:Drew Brees is.
Speaker A:And Tom Brady beat that guy in.
Speaker B: A new year, Tampa: Speaker A:And that was amazing.
Speaker B:It was.
Speaker B:Doug.
Speaker B:In my opinion, thus far, it's the greatest Super Bowl I've had to see.
Speaker A:Thus far.
Speaker B:Thus far.
Speaker B:I mean, Tom Brady, it's twin.
Speaker B:It's Tom Brady and then it's Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker B:It's the Rams.
Speaker B:No, it's Tom Brady, the Rams, Mahomes back to back, and now the Eagles.
Speaker B:I don't see anyone else having a better campaign thus far.
Speaker B:Jeez.
Speaker A:TB12 is him.
Speaker A:So why was that so great for you?
Speaker A:Because of all the reasons you just listed.
Speaker B:Yes, yes.
Speaker B:A 43 year old.
Speaker B:Come on, dog.
Speaker A:And he's.
Speaker A:He's.
Speaker A:That's mad.
Speaker B:Come on, dog.
Speaker B:That's a 40.
Speaker A:TB 12.
Speaker A:Can we.
Speaker A:Can we, can.
Speaker A:I think we're to have a challenge.
Speaker A:Can we have a podcast talking about greatness and not.
Speaker B:In the first round, we beat the Washington football team, then the Saints in the divisional round, packers in the championship game, and then the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
Speaker A:Yeah, that was.
Speaker A:That was stacked.
Speaker B:And these were.
Speaker A:That was stacked.
Speaker B:This was what a big run.
Speaker B:So for me, 20, 20.
Speaker B:2020 Super Bowl.
Speaker B:For me.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:That's one of the best wins, personally, that I can say.
Speaker B:Yeah, good.
Speaker B:Yeah, Good job.
Speaker B:Well done.
Speaker A:Well done.
Speaker B:Like.
Speaker A:Right, we're Gonna fast forward not.
Speaker A:We're going to rewind time to eight years before the pandemic.
Speaker A:2012.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Want to go to football?
Speaker A:I was tempted to say the.
Speaker B:We just talked football.
Speaker A:It's not my podcast today.
Speaker A:Like I thought.
Speaker A:Like, I'm just asking.
Speaker B:I did.
Speaker B:I did not.
Speaker B:I did not mean any hostility.
Speaker A:I'm kidding.
Speaker A:Fine.
Speaker A:Soccer for you Americans out there.
Speaker A:I was.
Speaker A:I was tempted to talk about the World cup, but I think we've talked about that at length already.
Speaker A: The: Speaker A:That's far down.
Speaker A:And I cried because I would find I saw someone finish the game of football, of soccer.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker B:And it doesn't help that that game was just.
Speaker A:That was lit.
Speaker A:Lit.
Speaker B:I'm not a soccer fan, but, like, it was.
Speaker A:It had everything in it.
Speaker A:Penalties, everything.
Speaker B:I keep telling people, let go.
Speaker B:You don't need to be a fan of the sport to appreciate that was.
Speaker A:The greatest football match, Soccer match ever played, in my opinion.
Speaker A:So I'm not gonna be.
Speaker A:I'm gonna get off my knees over that.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:This is.
Speaker A:That's the game.
Speaker A:Got this, this and that.
Speaker B:Hey.
Speaker B:Really?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:I was like, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker A:You look back at my videos, this is.
Speaker A: Only made an appearance after: Speaker A:Another one.
Speaker A:2012.
Speaker A:That night in Berlin.
Speaker A:No, not Berlin.
Speaker A:Munich.
Speaker B:Okay?
Speaker A:Champions League final.
Speaker A:Bayern Munich were unbeatable that season until they came against Chelsea, Chelsea fc.
Speaker A:We had no business.
Speaker A:The Champions League quarterfinal, semi final, or final.
Speaker A:No business whatsoever.
Speaker A:That is the greatest Champions League campaign by people who had no business being there at all.
Speaker A:No business.
Speaker A:Think about it this way.
Speaker A:Majority of the team is over the age of 30.
Speaker A:Ah, majority of the team.
Speaker B:So who was doing all the running?
Speaker A:Them, them, them.
Speaker A:So for context there, I think it was tb.
Speaker A:Joshua came out and said, I prophesy that Chelsea's winning the Champions League.
Speaker A:I was like, ah, we're doomed.
Speaker A:We are doomed.
Speaker A:We're not winning.
Speaker A:We're not winning.
Speaker A:So in the semi final, to give you color, semi final, we play Barcelona.
Speaker B:With a prime message.
Speaker A:You know the Messi that scored 91 goals in the season.
Speaker A:Yeah, that Messi.
Speaker B:That's what I'm saying.
Speaker B: Like, I know: Speaker A:Scored 91 goals in the calendar year.
Speaker A:And at that point, I remember Didier Drogba told the story.
Speaker B:Can we just also talk about how Prime Messi was 12, 13 years ago.
Speaker B:And he's still a bad man.
Speaker A:He's still a bad man.
Speaker B:Now he's like, what the hell?
Speaker B:Like, what the hell, dog he's an alien.
Speaker A:He's an alien.
Speaker A:He wants to go home.
Speaker B:He's in the same group with LeBron.
Speaker A:No, he's better than LeBron.
Speaker B:Yeah, but LeBron and Steven A's beef, though.
Speaker B:Such a weird beef, by the way.
Speaker B:I will say, such a weird.
Speaker B:You know what?
Speaker B:Episode 32, I Talk Sports.
Speaker A:Please talk about it.
Speaker B:Like, I have to.
Speaker A:What do we.
Speaker B:The beef that no one wants and.
Speaker A:No one cares about.
Speaker B:What kind of beef that no one wants?
Speaker A:No.
Speaker A:LeBron.
Speaker A:Let's go beef with people.
Speaker A:He's got business beefing with.
Speaker B:Stephen A Says, you don't like me because I don't think you're the goat.
Speaker B:I'm like, like, bro, maybe.
Speaker A:I think maybe what they're doing is that whole rap battle thing is like, guys, for ratings, we're gonna give people something to talk about.
Speaker A:I think that's.
Speaker A:That's the only thing that makes sense, man.
Speaker A: Anyway,: Speaker A:And then Deirdre tells the story that.
Speaker A:And also, we had fired our coach mid season.
Speaker B:Of course you did.
Speaker A:And now we've got an interim coach who hadn't coached head coach a day in his life.
Speaker A:Roberto Di Mato, man.
Speaker A:So I'm like, we're cooked.
Speaker A:So the week before that, we go and you win the FA cup against Liverpool.
Speaker A:We're going to win.
Speaker A:But they were like, we were just lucky.
Speaker A:And we were six in the league, by the way.
Speaker A:We were like.
Speaker A:We were an atrocity of a team.
Speaker A:No, no, we were.
Speaker A:We were.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Okay, so it tells the story.
Speaker A:Like, before the matches, they'll, like, put up a board and say, okay, right, here's the top scorers for the other team.
Speaker A:They look at all the other team members who had scored, and then they're like.
Speaker A:They all just burst out laughing.
Speaker A:They got to Leonard Messi.
Speaker A:68 goals.
Speaker A:68 goals at that time.
Speaker A:So we play home in a way.
Speaker A:At first.
Speaker A:We play them at Stamford Bridge.
Speaker A:Drogba scores a goal.
Speaker A:One, nil.
Speaker A:And the miracle of that game is that Barcelona hit the post six times in the first game.
Speaker A:I'm like, we got lucky because now we're going back to the Lions.
Speaker A:Damn.
Speaker B:I don't believe we're going to the camp.
Speaker B:I don't believe.
Speaker B:T.P.
Speaker B:josh.
Speaker B:T, T, Josh.
Speaker B:I don't believe.
Speaker B:Six times, dog.
Speaker A:That's just the one match.
Speaker A:Then.
Speaker A:Then the next match in the.
Speaker A:The away game, we're playing in the camp where Barcelona is.
Speaker A:We're like, it's tickets for us in the first half, John Terry, you know.
Speaker B:The guy who slipped that guy, he.
Speaker A:Gets a red card.
Speaker A:I prime.
Speaker A:Barcelona.
Speaker B:John.
Speaker A:John.
Speaker A:John.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:John.
Speaker A:John.
Speaker B:Why valate?
Speaker A:Why Valate?
Speaker A:So then what happened after that is they score.
Speaker A:Now it's 1:1 on aggregate.
Speaker A:Five minutes later they score again.
Speaker A:Now it's heat check.
Speaker A:Now it's 2:1 on aggregate.
Speaker B:Okay?
Speaker A:And then for whatever reason, they.
Speaker A:Because they were playing a high line, we get a goal back.
Speaker A:Lampard passes to Ramirez.
Speaker A:Ramirez chips the goalkeeper.
Speaker A:It's two.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:It's two one, but two two on aggregate.
Speaker A:And because we've got more away goals, we will go.
Speaker B:I don't know how this aggregate thing works.
Speaker A:I'll explain it to you later.
Speaker A:So what?
Speaker A:It used to be this case.
Speaker A:So if I play you at your house.
Speaker B:Sure.
Speaker A:And I score a goal, and then you come to my house and then you score another goal.
Speaker A:Put it like this.
Speaker A:So if I score two goals at you away at your house, and you score two goals at your house, we play at your place, it's 2:2.
Speaker A:Because I've got more.
Speaker A:I've got away goals.
Speaker A:I'm going through because they have like, whoever's got more vehicles, wins.
Speaker A:So then you come to my house and you don't score and the game ends.00.
Speaker A:They're gonna count the away goals that were scored, even though it's 2 2.
Speaker B:That's a scam.
Speaker B:That's a scam.
Speaker A:But didn't work for it didn't matter why, bro.
Speaker A:So, yeah.
Speaker B:Now what if you come to my crib, you come to my house.
Speaker B:To my house.
Speaker B:And you.
Speaker B:And you beat me three one.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker A:And then I got three W goals.
Speaker B:You got three vehicles.
Speaker B:Three one, Right?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And then you pull up and then I beat you two.
Speaker B:Two.
Speaker B:Two nil.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:On aggregate.
Speaker B:You still.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker A:So if we are playing at your place, it's three one.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:You come to my place.
Speaker A:Three one.
Speaker B:Three one.
Speaker A:You come over and you win two.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker A:So now we're equal on aggregate and on score.
Speaker A:Then we go to extra time.
Speaker A:They did away with that rule.
Speaker A:Now they did away with that rule.
Speaker A:But anyway, so then.
Speaker A:Now in the 20th semifinal, the second half was on your disaster.
Speaker A:Drogbug gives away a penalty.
Speaker A:Messi misses the penalty.
Speaker A:Oh, he missed the penalty.
Speaker A:Oh, they were.
Speaker A:They again, they hit the post many times over.
Speaker A:And then we were.
Speaker A:We were through because of the away goals goals thing then.
Speaker A:Because remember, Torres was in a trusty at that time.
Speaker A:So we were defending.
Speaker A:The ball goes to Ashley Cole, the defender, and he kicks it.
Speaker A:And the Tour is there by himself.
Speaker A:And Torres runs, goes around the goalkeeper scores.
Speaker A:We beat Barcelona.
Speaker A:That was.
Speaker A:That was beautiful.
Speaker A:But then the finals, the final was.
Speaker A:Was not as dramatic.
Speaker A:So we were literally 1 nil down in the 88th minute.
Speaker A:Drogba scores a corner.
Speaker B:African.
Speaker A:African.
Speaker A:He gives away a penalty in extra time.
Speaker A:I'm like, I'm in.
Speaker A:Really?
Speaker A:And then the goalkeeper saves it.
Speaker A:Oh, Peter Cash saves it.
Speaker A:Okay, Right.
Speaker A:I'm like this hope.
Speaker A:Then.
Speaker A:Then what happened?
Speaker A:We go to penalties.
Speaker A:We missed the first penalty.
Speaker B:Ah, of course, over there.
Speaker A:Then they score for the next three, and then they miss one.
Speaker A:And then we score again.
Speaker A:Then they missed that.
Speaker B:Then the goalkeeper says, so you guys just knew.
Speaker B:So no one wanted to win that match?
Speaker B:No.
Speaker A:Chelsea refused to lose.
Speaker A:We just refused to lose.
Speaker A:And then now Dra is the one who can score the winning penalty.
Speaker A: mber, he got sent off in that: Speaker A:John Terry slipped.
Speaker A:He goes and he scores.
Speaker A:Ch.
Speaker A:Chelsea, champions of Europe.
Speaker A:Greatest moment in my life.
Speaker A:Personal.
Speaker A: k that we had gone through in: Speaker B:Vindication.
Speaker A:Vindication.
Speaker A: Those wins, Madame win in: Speaker A:Chelsea.
Speaker A:2012 were great for me because.

Speaker A:You had no business winning that at all.
Speaker B:You know when you say that.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:You remind me of.
Speaker B:I don't know if this will count as a win.
Speaker B:They.
Speaker B:They got to the finals.

Speaker B:It's not telling me everything.
Speaker B:But is this.
Speaker A:Is this your next pick for a great sportsman or is this a sidebar?
Speaker B:I think I wanted.
Speaker B:I wanted it to be.
Speaker B:I was actually gonna go to the.
Speaker B:To the combat sports world now.

Speaker B:The much anticipated rematch anticipated between Amanda Nunes.
Speaker A:Rematch, baby.
Speaker A:And Juliana.
Speaker B:How is this a great rematch?
Speaker B:The first fight, Amanda Nunez walked into that fight.
Speaker A:Nunez is the goat.
Speaker B:Right, Exactly.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker B:She walked in as the goat.
Speaker B:Double champ.
Speaker B:Two divisions.
Speaker B:Yeah, she walked in as the goat.
Speaker B:That fight ended in the second round.
Speaker A:Eyeball.
Speaker B:If she got as she.
Speaker B:She caught hands that day.
Speaker A:I'm laughing at what he said about catching hands.
Speaker B:Like, the thing is, here's what happened.
Speaker A:What happened?
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:I passed out, right?
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker B:I passed out in the ams and I didn't get to watch that fight.
Speaker B:My phone rings.

Speaker A:What's good?
Speaker A:Really?
Speaker A:31 of them.
Speaker B:30, 31.
Speaker B:So she lost badly, right?
Speaker B:And then she said, I came into the fight injured.
Speaker B:I didn't have.
Speaker B:I didn't have a.
Speaker B:Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Speaker B:But I Was willing to believe that.
Speaker B:Hey, hey, hey.
Speaker B:Because I'd never seen Amanda Nunes looking like that.
Speaker B:Is it looking as out of shape as she did?
Speaker B:Looking as bad as she did?
Speaker B:Looking as.
Speaker B:Just coordinated?
Speaker B:Is that the word?
Speaker B:Is that a word?
Speaker B:Uncoordinated.
Speaker B:There we go.
Speaker B:Disoriented is the word.
Speaker A:I was disoriented.
Speaker A:Is that what you're looking for?
Speaker B:Yes, but she just didn't look like herself, right?
Speaker B:And Juliana Pena was on a high, which granted.
Speaker B:Fair enough.
Speaker B:You just beat the goat.
Speaker B:So you can go ahead and feel yourself, girl.
Speaker B:And she did.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:Yo.
Speaker B:And A year later, 20, 22, Amanda Nunez walks in.
Speaker A:She looked like a person on a mission.
Speaker B:She walked in.
Speaker B:She even left the other title at home because she was still two time, two division champ.
Speaker B:So she left at the title at home.
Speaker B:She walked in, titles came in ready.
Speaker B:She walked in empty handed.
Speaker B:Empty handed.
Speaker A:Space for someone's heart.
Speaker B:Empty handed.
Speaker B:With nothing but those hands to serve, boy.
Speaker B:Yo, yo.
Speaker B:She walked in empty handed.
Speaker B:Cool.
Speaker B:Juliana Pena walks in.
Speaker B:Fight.
Speaker B:Fight starts.
Speaker B:Wait, my dog, my dog.
Speaker A:What happened?
Speaker B:My dog.
Speaker B:We need.
Speaker B:I'm gonna need you to put these pictures on the video.
Speaker A:You need to.
Speaker A:You need to give me the pictures.
Speaker A:I'll put them on.
Speaker B:Okay?
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:Because if I were to show you both of them after the fight, you'd be like, there's no way.
Speaker B:There's no way.
Speaker B:Amanda Nunes won the fight by unanimous decision.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker B:Which we all say, she could have finished the fight such a long time ago.
Speaker A:Oh, she kept her.
Speaker B:She even.
Speaker B:She said, I could have finished it, but I didn't.
Speaker B:But I didn't.
Speaker B:Now, that was her after the fight.
Speaker A:Who caught the ass whooping.
Speaker A:Auntie.
Speaker B:Clean face.
Speaker B:Right?
Speaker B:That's her.
Speaker B:That's Amanda Nunez.
Speaker B:But she has blood on her, though, after the fight.
Speaker B:Whose blood is it?
Speaker B:Is the question, my brother.
Speaker A:Oh, okay.
Speaker B:Whose blood is it?
Speaker B:Is the question.
Speaker B:Because Juliana Pena.
Speaker A:Is that the one on the right?
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:From her head, she had a gash, like straight up cut.
Speaker B:They opened her up.
Speaker B:I just can't find the picture right now.
Speaker B:Yeah, there we go.
Speaker B:Look at that, look at that.
Speaker A:Look at that.
Speaker B:Look at that.
Speaker B:So that's.
Speaker B:That for me, is a great win because it.
Speaker B:You know, when goats do goat stuff.
Speaker B:Yeah, that's exactly what it was like.
Speaker B:It was just proof that even these athletes that we consider the ghosts, right, they still human.
Speaker B:That's why Amanda had a bad training camp.
Speaker B:She was injured.
Speaker B:All those factors she listed, and she didn't look like Herself in the fight.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker B:The first fight, she didn't look like herself at all.
Speaker B:And she was like, nah, guys, let me.
Speaker B:Let me get right.
Speaker B:And then I'll.
Speaker B:I promise you, I'll show you what should have happened.
Speaker A:And then we saw that.
Speaker B:Hey, dog.
Speaker B:That fight was bad.
Speaker B:Brad.
Speaker B:Like, I'm not saying it.
Speaker B:And he just, like, you know, when the.
Speaker B:When at some point you feel like you remember.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:You're the youngest, so even me.
Speaker B:But remember when your young cousins would come to visit back in the day?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And PlayStation.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And you play.
Speaker A:I did that to my nephew.
Speaker A:I'm sorry.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker B:And you show no mercy regardless.
Speaker A:10 nil.
Speaker B:Pretty much what would have happened.
Speaker B:What happened there.
Speaker B:Pretty much right there.
Speaker B:Julian was playing with the disconnected controller.
Speaker B:That's dog.
Speaker B:So I like the fact that it's.
Speaker B:It's a story of just coming back from adversity and believing in yourself and just showing them that, dog, you are you.
Speaker B:Regardless of what bumps you may encounter on the road, if you know what you're capable of something, sometimes things will happen that are out of your control, and it's not going to be your day.
Speaker B:But on any other day, you need to show them why you are who you are.
Speaker B:Exactly.
Speaker B:And that's exactly what she did.
Speaker A:I think I should write an article about Amanda Nunes.
Speaker B:Oh, it doesn't help that the next fight she.
Speaker B:She had.
Speaker B:The next fight was her last fight, right?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And she defended it against.
Speaker B:I don't remember her name right now, but same thing.
Speaker B:I didn't even watch that fight.
Speaker B:I knew.
Speaker B:I went to the.
Speaker B:I went to play basketball, and then I heard dudes talking mma, and I was like, yo, did y'all watch the.
Speaker B:Did y'all watch the fight?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:They're like, yeah.
Speaker B:I'm like, how'd it go?
Speaker B:You know, the dude said, what?
Speaker B:It's Nunez, dog.
Speaker A:That's when you know.
Speaker A:That's when you know.
Speaker A:That's when you know it's Nunez, dog.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:That's like.
Speaker B:Because the thing is, I think.
Speaker B:But I've had this chat with you as well when we're talking the goats.
Speaker B:I was telling you why I think Nunez is the goat as well.
Speaker B:She's beaten the other goats.
Speaker B:She beat.
Speaker B:She beat Cyborg?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:She beat Ronda Rousey.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And she beat.
Speaker B:Actually, those are the only two goats.
Speaker B:Those are the only two goats.
Speaker B:It's just unfortunate we never got to see her and Zhang Wei Lee hit it off, because Shanghai Lead, in my opinion, is the best female fighter in the world right now.
Speaker B:But, like, hey, hey, things happen.
Speaker A:Hey, it happens.
Speaker A:We couldn't see Mess and Maradona play together.
Speaker A:I mean, we couldn't see that Jordan.
Speaker B:Retired a year before LeBron.
Speaker B:Do you know, I just found out that because Jordan was forced to play for the Wizards.
Speaker A:Yeah, we all know that.
Speaker A:Who doesn't know that?
Speaker A:No, you know that now, but who doesn't know that he was.
Speaker A:He was forced to play for the Washington business because he wanted a controlling stake.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Said, like, in order for you to get the ratings up, you need to play for us.
Speaker A:He's like, I don't want to do it.
Speaker A:But then he did it.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker B:Hey, man, you gotta.
Speaker B:You do what you gotta do for the money.
Speaker B:But.
Speaker B:Yeah, Amanda Nunez, for me, she had the other win that made me say, yeah, no, okay.
Speaker B:And these are, These are all I'm talking.
Speaker B:These are things.
Speaker B:Matches and wins and games or whatever that I've experienced.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, that you've experienced.
Speaker A:That's what the conversation is.
Speaker A:That's what the conversation.
Speaker A:For example, like, I heard the rumble in the jungle was good.
Speaker A:I was there.
Speaker A:You know what I mean?
Speaker A:I've seen the documentary.
Speaker B:Ah, Lee Boomer.
Speaker A:I mean, like, you know those gay fights.
Speaker A:I saw.
Speaker A:Like, I heard of the.
Speaker A:The late, great George Foreman beat Michael Moore.
Speaker A:Like, I heard about that.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:I heard.
Speaker B:I heard.
Speaker B:I heard Mike Tyson losing to Buster to Bust Douglas was, Was.
Speaker B:Was a great upset.
Speaker B:I'll take your word for it.
Speaker A:I wasn't there.
Speaker A:I take your word for it.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A: ll that's ever reached at the: Speaker A:I just was not there.
Speaker B:Who knows?
Speaker A:Is this why I wasn't there?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:No, I wasn't there.
Speaker A:So just other honorable mentions.
Speaker A: ona beat Manchester United in: Speaker A:It was beautiful.
Speaker A:It was just, like, wonderful.
Speaker A:Like, you know, when you.
Speaker A:You go show up and you just see another team, just.
Speaker A:Just go there to watch the other team play.
Speaker A:They had no choice whatsoever.
Speaker B:Like, zero.
Speaker A:They scored a goal, but War knew, like, yeah, I sure scored a goal.
Speaker A: mean, like, you scored a fine: Speaker A: The: Speaker A:Federer, when Federa was supposed to win with two championship points.
Speaker A:Federative flopped that match.
Speaker A: The: Speaker A:Djokovic.
Speaker B:How many of these were mild in finals?
Speaker A: Open final where the: Speaker A: No, the other one is: Speaker A:That.
Speaker A:I'm joking.
Speaker B:Honorable.
Speaker B:Honorable mention for me.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B: sanya beating Alex Pereira in: Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:That had to be a long time ago, right?
Speaker B:Actually.
Speaker B:Actually, that was his last wish.
Speaker A:Win.
Speaker A:That was his last win.
Speaker B:That was Adesanya's last win.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:He.
Speaker A:Is he still active?
Speaker A:Is he?
Speaker B:Yeah, he just lost.
Speaker B:To.
Speaker B:To.
Speaker B:He just lost.
Speaker B:I was.
Speaker B:I was talking about it a few weeks ago.
Speaker A:No, I'm saying after that he's still active.
Speaker A:I'm just.
Speaker B:Listen, it's.
Speaker A:Yeah, man.
Speaker A:But also honorable mention.
Speaker A: this to actually happen, the: Speaker A:Come on.
Speaker B:Ah, now you have to.
Speaker B:You have to listen.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker B:All listen.
Speaker B:Nah, nah, nah.
Speaker A:That was a.
Speaker A:LeBron James deserves his.
Speaker A:All his flowers for that, though.
Speaker A:Even the way he was feeling himself.
Speaker B:Afterwards, it was warranted.
Speaker B:And it was warranted.
Speaker A:That right there made me go to.
Speaker A:Of greatest of all time.
Speaker A:He had a.
Speaker A:He was starting to build a case, though, like that.
Speaker B:You can't look at that stimulus package.
Speaker B:And I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker B: I always say: Speaker B:Actually, LeBron in his entire second stint with the Cavs was.
Speaker B:Was the best version of LeBron we will ever get.
Speaker B:Because now he still has some athleticism, but IQ, IQ.
Speaker B:IQ.
Speaker A: He led the entire series in: Speaker A:Not in the game, but the entire series in every major statistical category, not just his team.
Speaker A:The entire series.
Speaker A:Points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks.
Speaker B:Everything.
Speaker A:No, no, that right there.
Speaker A:Maybe this is.
Speaker A:This is.
Speaker A:This is.
Speaker A:This is why He's.
Speaker A:He's top five.
Speaker A:Definitely top five.
Speaker A:Definitely top five.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:Jordan, Kareem, Magic, Kobe, LeBron.
Speaker B:Okay, I'm just being disrespectful.
Speaker B:That's my top five in a different.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:The reason is because after that stance he pulled against Stephen A.
Speaker A:Smith, my guy, I'm.
Speaker A:I'm knocking him down on my list.
Speaker B:I still don't understand that beef.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker A:Like LeBron LeBron 2 or 3.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:Some I sometimes wake up on this side, Kareem.
Speaker A:Sometimes I wake up on that side.
Speaker A:LeBron.
Speaker A:But yeah, fair.
Speaker A:But that.
Speaker A:That, that.
Speaker A:That Finals, that was beautiful.
Speaker B:Yo, LeBron.
Speaker B: Now: Speaker B:There's no one like top shelf.
Speaker B:There's.
Speaker B:There's no one like top shelf, top of the line.
Speaker B:Probably mid to late 80s Jordan, late 80s to early 90s.
Speaker B:Jordan is the closest ever, like, to that ever.
Speaker A:The difference is that Jordan 3 Peter.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And he got MVPs too.
Speaker A:Yeah, you got him.
Speaker A:Defensive player.
Speaker B:But people were already tired of voting for LeBron by 20 by that time.
Speaker A:Ah, he was not gonna make any more than four.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Because also Jordan set the standard with five.
Speaker B:So it's like, no, now you're gonna.
Speaker A:I was watching a video on Nicola Jokic and Shay Gil.
Speaker A:Just Alexander and how this is a very tight MVP race.
Speaker B:Are you watching Jimmy High Roller?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:On it as well.
Speaker A:Jimmy High Roller Journey Arnett as well.
Speaker A:Scat Attack is the funniest guy, you know.
Speaker B:You know, I've been watching Jimmy High Roller since I was 18.
Speaker A:You've been watching since you're 18?
Speaker B:That's 18 seven years, dog.
Speaker A:That's around about when I started.
Speaker A:Like, what Jimmy I wrote.
Speaker B:You see, that's why we friends, the.
Speaker A:Graphs that he puts up.
Speaker B:I don't know where he gets those metrics, dog.
Speaker A:Like, yo, the one, he looked like a penis.
Speaker A:I'm like, why did you shake it like that?
Speaker A:Anyway, so what I was saying is that the people who are voting for Jordan, they wish they had given him like these eight MVPs.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Because now everybody else has to suffer for that.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Like, you are not Jordan.
Speaker A:So we can't.
Speaker B:Why can't.
Speaker B:Why should we give you five?
Speaker B:Kareem has six.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker B:Like, that's mad, by the way.
Speaker A:Like, LeBron should have eight.
Speaker A:Jordan should have 10.
Speaker A:10.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Tim Kobe should have three.
Speaker A:Should have three.
Speaker A:Or four.
Speaker B:Shaq should have four.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:But Steve Nash.
Speaker A:Anyway, we're gonna.
Speaker A:We're.
Speaker A:We're going to wrap up here.
Speaker A:Thank you very much for joining us.
Speaker A:And basically the lesson that we learned is that success can be the enemy of success.
Speaker A:And then also.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Do you know who's suffering from his own success right now?
Speaker B:The coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Tomlin.
Speaker A:Why is he suffering from his own success?
Speaker B:Mike Tomlinson has.
Speaker B:Mike Townlin has won super bowl, which was from back in the day.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:But we don't care now.
Speaker A:Now we don't care.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:However, Mike Tomlin has never had a season where his team was under 500.
Speaker A:What is that, man?
Speaker A:And listening out there, who are under what is under 500.
Speaker A:Let him explain.
Speaker B:500 is basically 50.
Speaker B:50, 50.
Speaker A:You've won.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:If you're under, you've won as many games as you've under 500, you've lost more games than you've won.
Speaker B:And then if you're.
Speaker B:If you're over 500, you've won more games than you've lost.
Speaker B:And if you're a 500 team.
Speaker B:It's 50, 50, 50.
Speaker B:You've won as many games as you've lost.
Speaker B:Now Mike Tomlin's teams have never been under.500.
Speaker B:He's been the coach of the Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Steelers for at least 18 years.
Speaker B:Now that's a problem because Mike Tomlin hasn't been to the super bowl since then.
Speaker B:And they haven't won a playoff game in seven years.
Speaker B:They, they are currently on a six game losing, which is what is becoming.
Speaker A:My chat with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens and Chelsea FC is.
Speaker A:What have you done for me lately?
Speaker B:Nothing.
Speaker A:Nothing.
Speaker B:But with Mike Tomlin, it's also a case of him making the best with what he's given.
Speaker B:He hasn't had a quarterback in years.
Speaker A:Mike Thomas is the Arsenal FC of the NFL.
Speaker B:I won't let you do that.
Speaker B:I won't let you do that.
Speaker B:You know who Mike, you know, Mike Tomlin was.
Speaker B:Mike Tomlin was like when Jose Mourinho was on Man United.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah, you, you parked a Lamborghini.
Speaker A:But here's the chat.
Speaker A:Jose Mourinho won a European trophy with Manchester United.
Speaker A:He won the FA cup and he got, he placed second behind Manchester City.
Speaker A:And now competitive.
Speaker B:Now I will give you a re.
Speaker B:I will rebut that by saying, yeah, there's multiple trophies to win in soccer.
Speaker B:There's only one to win.
Speaker B:That's in American, that's in American football.
Speaker B:And with that, I think just being an above.500 team is a trophy in itself.
Speaker B:Is a trophy in it.
Speaker A:Arsenal FC win the fourth place.
Speaker A:No, I'm joking.
Speaker A:I'm joking because I want, I want the.
Speaker B:But now they're saying, should the Steelers get rid of Mike Tomlin, it's like if you get rid of Mike Tomlin, who are you gonna get?
Speaker B:Because he's still one of the best coaches in the league.
Speaker B:It's not, it's not his fault you haven't given him a quarterback.
Speaker A:You know, he didn't give him Lamar Jackson.
Speaker B:You didn't give him resources.
Speaker B:Cuz look what he's done with an aging Russell Wilson.
Speaker A:What did you do?
Speaker B:He almost won the division.
Speaker A:Okay, so Russell, not Russell Wilson.
Speaker A:What's, what's this guy, Mike Tomlin?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:I don't think success is any more success there.
Speaker A:He is successful.
Speaker A:What the people are putting around him is leading him to not be successful.
Speaker A:When you did win, did he have the right pieces around him for him to win?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:All right, so if you like, I, I can't win a competition with no culture like it's like I must go beat Lewis Hamilton.
Speaker B:True.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:All right, cool.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:So with all these sports wins, luck does play something in it.
