Intro

SPEAKER_01 0:04

Hello there, everybody! Welcome back to the Objectively Bad podcast. It is your boys, your favorite little lads on this blue and green planet we call Mars, Chad and Dan. This is an alternate universe where Mars is actually the planet that humans live on, and Earth is a barren wasteland full of Arsenal supporters. Welcome back. The worst planet I could imagine. I know, yeah, that would be tragic.

SPEAKER_03 0:34

That would be pretty bad.

Back Into The Manosphere

SPEAKER_01 0:35

Yeah, and and oh, you know what's worse than Arsenal supporters, Chad?

SPEAKER_03 0:41

No. Alpha males. Oh, you're so right. Yeah, uh, last week we talked about the Manosphere, which is a documentary that came out on Netflix. I didn't watch almost any of it before I uh we started filming, and then I watched more of it and I have more opinions, which I'm gonna shorten. Um, but essentially, I watched it. Anything good that we said about these people, I take it all back. I don't think we said much good about them, but they suck. Um I think some of what we were getting at was like they're terrible people, but like somewhere in there, there's a good message. Honestly, for a lot of these people, I take it back. Mainly like Myron. Um, I feel like especially the people that I never thought Myron had a good one. We never said Myron was good, but like I feel like there were some points where we're like, you know, like somewhere in there, there's a good message about like being good for yourself and doing all this. I I you know, maybe, but I take it back. Myron is just straight up sexist and just terrible as a person. Like, I don't even see the good he does for people outside of because everything he said that was supposed to be empowering was in relation to taking power away from other people, especially people from like other groups of changes. He's a parasite races or whatever. He is a parasite. I also think a lot of I touched on it a little bit, but I think a lot of like the quote unquote good empowering stuff that a lot of these really terrible people bring up is really manipulative instead because they're they're like, yo, you got like there's nothing wrong with being like it's good to work out, it's good to like you know empower yourself and like put yourself in a better situation and like you know work hard and study and do all these things. That's great. I don't even think a lot of these people are really saying that. They're saying, like, if you don't do this, you're losing, and the people are out to get you. And it's like it's weirdly it's manipulative, but that's not the word I'm thinking of. It's like you're you're trying to almost take these people who are clearly like impressionable or in a bad place, maybe, or you know, they're looking for like some sort of guidance, refuge, yeah. And you're going, okay, you come to me because everyone else is out to get you. No, they're not.

SPEAKER_01 3:10

Yeah, they're it's almost it's almost like these people are trying are holding them hostage, like it's Stockholm Syndrome. Yeah, like they get it's kind of a cult, to be honest.

SPEAKER_03 3:20

It pretty much is, yeah. It's a weird cult of like, look, everyone's out to get you, I'm not out to get you, I'm here for you. Those people that say they're here for you, they're not, or at least the these people on like the manosphere and this type of person, they're not there for you, they're there so that you watch their content and you pay for their I don't know, teachings or subscriptions or whatever, and then they make a ton of money off of you.

SPEAKER_01 3:42

I mean, we saw that already in the documentary because HS Tiki Talkie literally said, like, oh, I preach not watching OnlyFans and porn because it's bad for you, but then he promotes OnlyFans Girls to his viewers. It's like he's yeah, it's a they're just profiting off you, they don't they don't actually give a shit. Maybe they believe the stuff they're spouting in, but I don't think they would care who's listening to it or whatever songs they're getting money, like whatsoever.

SPEAKER_03 4:07

Because at the end of the day, most of these people, outside of being bigoted and sexist and terrible and all that jazz, are salesmen. They are guys who are trying to make money and they are selling to you the idea of a lifestyle by going, you give me a ton of money, and then I can teach you how to have this lifestyle, but their lifestyle comes from selling this idea to you and making money from it. So it's not a thing that you like, sure, I'm someone can replicate it, but the average person is not going to replicate it. Yeah, the average person is going to lose their money on this and be a worse person.

SPEAKER_01 4:46

Well, there was there was one of them in the documentary, I think it was HS, uh, when Louie asked them, like, what's the most important skill? They said sales. So like they they know that the most important thing of getting rich and keeping wealth and everything is selling to people. And you can't the whole thing about like selling a lifestyle to people is if if the lifestyle selling is easily attainable and all these people get it, then they won't need them anymore. So they wouldn't be they wouldn't be doing it because then they'd just be losing all their all their followers, all their money. So they're obviously going to sell you something that's incomplete or they know is pretty much unobtainable. Um, it's basically like if you were if you could give out lottery tickets that were guaranteed to win, the lottery would make no money. So they give out tickets that give you the hope and the dream of uh this beautiful life and win an amount of money, but then make it extremely difficult to win. Still possible, but like just like just possible enough that some stupid people might be like, oh yeah, it's gonna be my turn. Uh, but then it usually never is.

SPEAKER_03 5:45

Yeah. Yeah. It was definitely interesting because I was like, no, these guys, I like what the more I watch them, like, they're just manipulative, and they try to convince you that they're trying to teach you something good. And I think that's really what where it is, is like they're trying to be like, no, like I'm here for like to empower men and to empower them to, you know, be stronger and and make more money and you know do more for themselves. But a a lot of their successes come from very superficial standpoints of like the only way that there's the quote on like high value man. Yep. Um, the only way that they see you as a quote high value man is a literal monetary value, but like you're attractive, you're extremely fit, you make a ton of money, you have a ton of assets that are worth money, you know, like your Lamborghinis, your your penthouses in Miami. And it's like, I don't think that makes you a better person. There some of like the greatest people out there are necessarily attractive because there's more to like I don't know, being a complete or whole or good person, having a good personality, making other people's lives better.

SPEAKER_01 6:57

Yeah, and like I value much more attractive and wealthy can never hurt. It's always gonna be helpful in some ways, but it's not the whole picture. It's like if if your if all life if your life is a big circle, the health, wealth, and fitness of it was maybe like, I don't know, like a third or a fourth of the whole thing. It's you're also gonna have like your own personal happiness, which doesn't come from those things. It can help for sure. It's like it's like the whole quote of like money doesn't buy happiness, it helps attain it, but it doesn't like Sure. Anyone who's gone from poor to rich will be it's not that they're happier, it's that they're less stressed and worried, which takes away it money, takes away the negative things in your life. It doesn't necessarily add the positive things that you have to sort of get yourself more so. Like, obviously, you're gonna be less stressed and worried if you have a roof over your head and you can pay for food, but you're not necessarily gonna be happy if you're sitting in a penthouse alone, sad, no friends, no family. Yeah, although, but like that's why I do like the quote. I would rather be crying alone in a penthouse than out on the street, but I'd also rather not be crying at all. So yeah, right, you know.

SPEAKER_03 8:04

I I remember I don't know how accurate the statistic is, but I saw when we were in high school, and it was essentially this graph that was like happiness in comparison to money. I've seen this as well. As you went from zero to about 70,000 at that time, I'm sure that number's changed since then, because this was probably like 2018. It did go up as you gained more money, your general happiness, because things like worrying about rent, worrying about food, making sure that you can save some amount of money, like all of those things that are like actual survival thing, like real stressors in life that are like survival. Like, I have to live, I have to have shelter, I have to like you know, make some like allowance for myself, I have to like do these things. All of that, taking that away is good, but once you hit a certain threshold, which is not necessarily that high, it's it's attainable by I think you know, most people in life, yeah. Um it like your level of happiness doesn't necessarily go up as your money does. It could maybe to some degree, but also there's there's the other quote, mo money, mo problems. Sometimes you just create more problems for yourself, or your issues aren't a monetary thing, it's a social thing. Yeah, maybe it's you hate your work, maybe it's you're having, you know, I don't know, you're having a hard time with a love life, or maybe you know, you're your parents and you aren't getting along very well, or whatever it is. Money isn't solving that problem.

SPEAKER_01 9:36

And the people think it is because the people who think who think it is, like there's there's a lot of people out there that's like, oh no, my relationship's failing. Let's just buy my girlfriend an iPad or a new car. And like that may work for a little bit, but it's not gonna last forever. No, it's and also they're not gonna be staying for you, they're gonna be staying because they want that new Porsche, like Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:58

Um, I mean, one thing I think a lot of these guys are like that. Yeah, like these super rich guys, they just buy friendship, but it's not real.

SPEAKER_01 10:07

Yeah, I mean, why else would all the attractive women go hang out with them? It's because they have a nice villa in Marbella or a penthouse in Miami or a nice yacht or something. But about the more money, more problems things, IG find, and this might be this will be different from individual to individual, IG find the more money I make, the more scared I am of losing it. Yeah. Or like the more like the more like monthly income I get, the more I'm like because I guess for a YouTuber it's different because like some months you could like double then half your income the next month, because it goes up and down based on what videos you upload and ad rates. Um if I have a month that I've done really well and then the next month I do really bad, it's like I I'm I'm more terrified to like lose what I've made now rather than if you make like a lower amount just more consistently, then maybe you're more comfortable with like the average or being closer to zero, because then it feels it feels less because if you say you're making 50k a year and you lost everything, it's less of a grind to get back to that than if you're making 500k a year and then lost everything and then had to get back to that point somehow.

SPEAKER_03 11:08

Yeah. So I think part of the argument comes from consistency as well, of like you don't technically have consistent pay, and that it's it's not you make this set amount a month.

SPEAKER_01 11:18

Yeah, but even if you were like if you were like I guess it's different because you could have job experience, but say you were like a uh a CEO of a company and you got fired for sexual misconduct and you lost all your money. That could never happen. Never that would never happen. Uh it's it'd be way more difficult to get back to that than if you're making 20 grand a week working at a burger place or something.

SPEAKER_03 11:39

You just go to a restaurant 20 grand a week working at a bigger one.

SPEAKER_01 11:42

Sorry, sorry, 20 grand a 20 grand a year. 20 grand a week in a burger place or something.

SPEAKER_03 11:47

20 grand a week? That would be that that's so much money. That would be that's like the owner of the burger place kind of money.

SPEAKER_01 11:56

Probably owner of the chain. Yeah. Yeah, that's nuts. Uh um, watch what don't know if my points are exactly perfect, but basically, money's nice to have. You'd rather have more of it than less of it, but it's not gonna be the only thing that solves your your issues. You need to be happy in other areas of life. I always think like I always say, I do say to people, like, if your life is a if you have like nothing going for you, I would make your first priority making enough money to get off the roof of your head and food in your stomach.

SPEAKER_02 12:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:26

Once you get that done, then sort out your other shit. Um, because it's it's pretty difficult to like hang out with friends or work out if you literally can't eat food or don't have a house or can't go on the bus.

SPEAKER_03 12:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:39

Um, but once you get those things, then you can then you can branch out a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 12:44

Yeah, but that was my my little snippet after watching more of it of like, no, these guys are just they're just scumbags who are they're manipulative salesmen, essentially. They're not really what they say they are. I mean, because they're putting on a facade.

SPEAKER_01 12:59

Yeah, the thing I said last time, and I've mentioned like you can get all the same positive messages they give about like working out and finances from people who don't have all the negative associations with them. There's so many great people on YouTube, or there's probably people in your real life you can ask. There's so many great results out there that tell you how to work out, that tell you how to pick up woman, that tell you how to get a job in a healthy, normal way. That's not you know that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:31

And when I say pick up woman, I mean physically, because you're strong because you're gonna because you're so strong, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:36

Because you're going to the gym. Exactly. You can pick up anyone, really.

SPEAKER_01 13:40

Yeah, whoever you want.

SPEAKER_03 13:41

With consent, of course.

SPEAKER_01 13:43

Yes. That's also important.

Chad Won Something HUGE

SPEAKER_03 13:45

Yeah. Yeah. Um Dan, today we're gonna we're gonna talk a little bit about sports. We got a couple topics here.

SPEAKER_01 13:52

Awesome. We just lost our entire viewership. Let's go on.

SPEAKER_03 13:56

Yeah, yeah, sorry. Uh, we're not gonna talk about the technical end of sports. We're gonna I'm well, I'm gonna start by talking about going to live sports, and I'm gonna segue into I got this shirt, and that's actually that's it. No, I'm kidding. Um, I want a shirt, it's a fine shirt. But you want a shirt or you born a shirt? Uh, I guess neither. I got a shirt for free. Okay. You know when like okay, so I'll tell you why I specifically got this shirt. So I went to a Nuggets game, which for people who don't know is a basketball team in Colorado. Um NBA specifically.

SPEAKER_01 14:36

Such a weird game of the nuggets.

SPEAKER_03 14:38

Like what um Colorado has an old history when we started of gold. And so it's gold nugget. It's not chicken nugget. Um that'd be better. Yeah, it's gold. Is because we have a large history of like gold mining, um, especially when like it was being discovered by the whites. Um, so anyways, I went to a Nuggets game and I was sitting at like not like the lower like the higher end of the lower section. Yeah. And while I was there, there was anytime someone would shoot for three points and successfully make it. Well, mainly when a Nuggets player would shoot for three points and successfully make it, they would they they put a little chant out and it would go one, two, and then you know, they get everyone to be like three, because it's like, oh, we just scored three points. Um there was this lady that was walking around that would kind of get people to chant it, and then she would throw a shirt in the air. It'd be all wadded up, but she'd throw a shirt. So I'm sitting there. I wasn't really trying to get a shirt because I was like, whatever. Um, and the shirt comes to a bunch of like I don't know, like like a middle school to like high school age kids. They all try to catch it, they all miss. It bounces down, down the stairs, lands right next to me. I like wait a second or two because I'm like, do I want this? And then I'm like, yeah, I'm just gonna take it. There was a small part of me where I was like, Did I just take a shirt from children? No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, they're a middle school. If they can't catch that, they don't deserve it. Yeah, I feel like they were like middle school aged. I will also say this is an XL. This would not have fit them.

SPEAKER_01 16:35

I mean, they're gonna they're gonna grow up eventually. Yeah, the I presumably, you'd think so, unless the world ends. You'd think so. No, honest, honestly, in that situation, uh I feel like if you don't catch it, it's fair game, man.

SPEAKER_03 16:52

Take it. Yeah, the guy behind me was funny because he just he just goes, That was that was an easy win for you, or something like that. Well, like it wasn't condescending, um, but he was just like, that was oh, I think he was like, that was the easiest snag, and I was like, Yeah, it was. It really was really easy. Um, I did say I I I I looked at my girlfriend and I was like, if this doesn't fit me, I'm gonna throw it back to the kids. Um, because they also they didn't make like any fuss at me or anything. Um, that lady also threw a ton of shirts, so yeah. But I was like, if this doesn't fit, I'll give it back. But it was an XL, and like, if anything, this fits me and it doesn't fit them. Yeah, for sure. Um I remember when I was a small child, I went to a Jacksonville Sons game, which is was sorry, was a minor league baseball team, and I won a Jacksonville Jaguars jersey, like the like the football team, and it was like a double or triple XL. I remember I think I tried I put it on, and I'm like six by the way, so it went to the ground.

SPEAKER_01 18:00

So the average size in Florida, correct.

SPEAKER_03 18:04

Um yeah, pretty much. Uh they I think when they give out shirts, they just give out really big sizes because they're like, well, if it's big, it'll fit on any.

SPEAKER_01 18:13

Yeah, exactly. You can always shrink it in the wash if you really want to.

SPEAKER_03 18:19

Yeah.

unknown 18:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:20

To to a degree. I don't know. There's a certain point where you can't shrink a shirt a whole lot, but well that's what I was gonna segue. Big win for you. Dan. Yeah, big win for me. Um, I got a free shirt. It's a fine shirt, it's nothing too special. It's definitely very specific to the situation I was in. Because it's not like it's just a nugget shirt and then. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:45

Uh okay, I don't know if I'm being stupid here. Sorry, really off topic. Not really off topic. I feel like I'm being dumb. Can you score one point in basketball? Is that what a free throw point is? Or is that two points as well? Okay. No, that's one point.

SPEAKER_03 19:00

Um, although this is more this is more of a chant rather than a show of like getting one, getting two, getting three. Yeah, I guess a free throw would be one point.

SPEAKER_01 19:09

I was just I was just making sure because it was like they have two and three. Surely they'd have one. They have one. Okay, I was just misremembering.

Live Sports in the US vs Australia

SPEAKER_03 19:18

That's alright. Thank you. Um, but yeah, uh, that brings up my topic where I was gonna ask you. Dan, how how do you feel about live sports? Like going to games.

SPEAKER_01 19:29

Uh, I've been to a few games in my time. Off the top of my head, I have been to more recently, uh like I say recently, like two years ago, three years ago, uh, went to an AFL game. I think I've been to two AFL games in Australia. I have been to I've been to a Manchester United versus Everton game in 2016 or 2017, where De Gea saved a penalty and we won, so good match.

unknown 19:52

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_01 19:53

Uh I've been to a Orlando Magic basketball game, can't remember who they were playing. Okay. What else? I've been to a I've been to the the the the the the the the the Harlem Globetrotters, which is technically live sport.

SPEAKER_03 20:09

I have too. It is technically live sport. Uh they do win every time. Oh well. That's what it is, but it's pretty fun.

SPEAKER_01 20:19

And then when I was a lot younger, so this was before I moved to Germany, so I was like under 12. Uh I probably went to like 10 or so uh NRL games, rugby league in Australia. That was that's probably the sport I've been to the most live um in my time. And overall, I so I haven't been very recently, and I've only really gone with my parents to games. I think it'll be more fun if I go with friends who like a bit more into it or support the teams the same as me or whatever. Sure. Um, I do like them. I do really enjoy live sports. I am tall, so the seating can often be very awkward and painful for me. That's fair. So I do get a little bit uh sore and fidgety at times. The experience is often good though. Like I know in American sports you have a lot more like entertainment outside the sport that you have like halftime or like quarter time like cheerleading dances and shows and little like game events where like someone tries to score like a halfway shot for like$5,000, all that type of stuff. You don't really get that in Australia or England, that with any sport you just kind of have the game, then halftime, then the game, and you get food in between. I think the experience is fun though. I don't think I could ever be a person that like goes to a game every weekend. I think it'd be too much for me. Sure. I like the comfort of being at home.

SPEAKER_03 21:37

That's just too expensive.

SPEAKER_01 21:38

It's expensive, yeah. It's also just like I don't hate crowds by any means, but like there's a lot of people there. Like the getting in takes ages, getting out takes ages, getting food takes ages. It's just a lot of shit. You you often run into people that I mean, one of my biggest pet peeves is people that just don't have like spatial awareness of what's happening around them and just like bump into people and just. Have no like regard, and you get so many of those sport games. Like it's painful. There's people that will just stand in the middle of the stairs. It's like, brother, I am trying to get past you and you do not move. Um, there's ups and downs. I think overall it's a fun experience if you go like every so often. Obviously, more fun if your team wins. Uh sure. Did the nuggets win?

SPEAKER_03 22:22

The nuggets did win. Yeah, they played Portland. I don't know why. The Trailblazers. I kept wanting it to be the Timberwolves. But it's not. Um here's a good game. Uh the first the first quarter was like I oh gosh. I think it was like like 80 points total had been scored between the two teams. Like it was just like shot after shot after shot of just like making it a lot of threes as well. And then it got more defensive as the game went on. But yeah, it was a good game. It was like first two quarters is pretty close. Third quarter, the nuggets like kind of just blew ahead, and then it kind of just like coasted from there. But it was fun. I definitely agree. I I think the biggest way to explain the like problems that a lot of people will have with sports outside of like money, is they can be incredibly overstimulating. There's so many people there, there's so many crowds, which is really annoying. There's so many, like, especially in like, like you said, kind of American sports. There's usually a lot of little entertainment in between like breaks. Yep. Um, there's a lot of stuff going on there. There's people moving around, there's people going to the bathrooms, people grabbing a hot dogs, people grabbing a beer. Like, there is a you're you know, people are shuffling in front of you to get to their seat. People, if you're on the aisle, people are going past you up and down the hallway. Like there's a lot going on.

SPEAKER_01 23:54

Almost every single sport game I've been to, and also concerts are quite similar. If you go to concerts in a stadium, there's a similar vibe. Almost every fucking game, I swear to god, there's been like a guy behind me that spilt beer, like down like near my seat, and bags get wet, and like you get just it's just always happens. Every because like usually, especially in like sports where it's a bit slower, like a baseball or cricket, American football, people are just getting drunk there, they're barely watching the game, they're just they're just drinking and and they just end up spilling shit on you. Uh, that's yeah, I think you just gotta be mentally prepared that something's gonna get wet or sticky by the time you're home.

SPEAKER_03 24:31

Yeah. Yeah, I'd agree. I think all that being said, I A don't mind over being stimulated. I like being well stimulated. I don't mind having you know music playing and buzzers blaring and people talking and like having a bunch of people around me. That does not bother me whatsoever.

SPEAKER_01 24:50

Well, it doesn't bother me enough to turn me off from the event at all. I I enjoy it. I mean like I love concerts, and concerts are like that.

SPEAKER_03 24:59

It's a good time. Yeah, I um it is a good time. I the things I like about live sports is A, I think live sports are fun. I I do agree, it's something that like I go to a couple games a year of multiple sports, and that's kind of it. Like, I don't I don't even know if I go to one a month. So it's partially like if you don't go that often, the novelty is there every time you go. Whereas like if you went every weekend, I feel like it wouldn't you'd have to be a diehard fan at that point.

SPEAKER_01 25:27

You would like I think I could probably if I lived in Manchester, I could probably go to a United game every weekend, but also I feel like the comfort of watching a game in your home on your TV, get your own snacks, have a friend over, or even going to the bar to watch a game, switching it up like that is nice. I don't know if I could go every single week, especially like away games. Like, I'm not ever traveling to an away game, unless it's like super big, I guess. But like the people who do that are especially that's like maybe a one-a-year kind of a thing, yeah. But like that's that's insane commitment and money to do that all the time.

SPEAKER_03 25:59

That's the other thing. Like, like tickets aren't cheap, and then once you get in, food is so expensive. And here's the deal you don't need to get food, you don't need to get a drink. But you gotta do it.

SPEAKER_01 26:10

I will say though, you gotta do you gotta it's like it's like going to the the cinemas, man. I can't go into a movie without my Coke and popcorn. It's not happening.

SPEAKER_03 26:20

I also find I do a decent amount of like screaming with like chants and stuff, and then my throat starts to hurt. So a little beverage is really fucking nice. So, like, there's that part. Um yeah, again, I guess in Australia you probably don't get this a whole lot. I love all the little entertainment things within sports. Like, I think eat like the basketball game I went to yesterday. Even if there was like a timeout and there was like two minutes, they're like, fuck it, put some people on the court and just do something. Uh maybe it's like cheerleaders doing a dance.

Sports as Entertainment Over Competition

SPEAKER_01 26:53

When I did go to the basketball game, I also think I went to a basketball game. Uh, I can't can't remember what I think it was the Lakers. I think we went to a Lakers game when I was like 11 or 12 when we went to America for a couple of weeks. And I do remember coming from like Australia, not really having that, it was like a spectacle. It was really entertaining having all this stuff going all the time. I don't know if I'd want it all all the time every week. So again, I don't know if I could go all the time, but like going once a year for the experience, um, I it definitely helps. I think the one good thing about all the extra entertainment that American sports do have is that if it is a boring game, you at least have that to look forward to. Whereas like if you go to a match of football and it's a nil-nil boring ass game, it kind of just is a boring ass game, and there's like nothing you can do about it.

SPEAKER_03 27:37

Yeah, it's definitely it does make it, it's also it makes it different from just watching on TV. Because like when you watch on TV, especially for a sport like basketball, like football, baseball, when they can cut a whole lot, they're cutting to broadcasters talking about it, they're cutting to replays of stuff, they're cutting to commercials. Whereas when you're in there, they're like, Well, we gotta fill this time, and they throw out some like kind of fun, entertaining stuff. There was one, so the game I went to, it was um the mascot for the Nuggets is called Rocky. Um, he's a cougar, and it was apparently his birthday. I don't know if that just means when he was started, or I don't know, they designated that he had a birthday, so and it was his birthday game, and honestly, it was really fun. They got all the other mascots from all the other Denver-based teams um to come out, which was really fun. Uh, there was one point where there was a two-minute timeout, and for a minute and 30 seconds, Rocky attempted to make a backwards half-court shot. He didn't, he got close, but everyone just watched him try to do that, and I'm like, it's such a simple thing to do, but it's so much fun.

SPEAKER_01 28:53

Yeah, I agree.

SPEAKER_03 28:54

Like, they just had a ton of little things, and I really appreciate that because then it's like going to the game isn't just the same as watching it on TV. Obviously, like the atmosphere and seeing it live and all of that is like different, but I like the little things where like the mascots were out for like a good amount of time during the game. I would just watch the mascots, would just kind of walk around and like high-five kids and like mess with people and like not in like bad ways, but you know, yeah, no, I get more funny ideas.

SPEAKER_01 29:24

I think it's a similar sort of argument to the people who say, like, oh, why would I go to a concert when I can just listen to their music at home? It's like it's a completely different experience. Really, like really bad uh artists will kind of just sit there and perform their songs, and that sucks. But really good artists will go out there, interact with the crowd, they'll change up their songs based on where they are, what's happening. Like all time low, which is our like favorite band. Um, when they came to Australia, they were doing shoes on stage, like drinking beer out of their shoes. Because all the the crowd, they didn't want to, but the crowd was like pressuring them to do it. They're like, fucking do it, you bitches. And they they would do it. That's really funny. And like they're into like they uh and they also sung um there's a really famous Australian TV show from the 80s or 90s called Round the Twist, where it's it's a family that lives in a lighthouse down um in like the Victorian Bay. Not it's not the bay, it's bit. I've drive past it. You drive past it to go to Lawn and the Great Ocean Road, very famous like area of Victoria.

SPEAKER_03 30:25

Um whatever you say.

SPEAKER_01 30:26

Yeah, cool. Uh and there's a theme song called uh for Round the Twist called I think it is just called Round the Twist, I might be wrong. Um but very famous theme song, and all time lovers like sung that song in Australia because they know, and the whole crowd fucking like loved it because it's like such a well-known famous thing. And like you don't you don't get that stuff if you're just sitting there listening to an album, really. It's not it's not personal to you. Um and even if you watch like the a fucking like recording of the concert, it's even still different because uh it may not be from your city, you weren't there in the moment, you know, there's so many things that are different. Um and while I watch it listening to the music is like 90% just as good while watching on TV a sport game is 90% just as good. There is that little bit extra you get from being there live in person that you can't get anywhere else.

SPEAKER_03 31:14

Yeah, seeing someone hit a home run or dunk a basketball or score like a really nice shot in person is so cool. It like the crowd goes wild, you got to see it, you know. I baseball isn't a fun sport to watch on TV, in my opinion, and most people's opinion. But I love going to a baseball game, a because they're cheap in Colorado, because the Rockies suck, but also because it like it's just such a fun atmosphere. You go, you get a hot dog, you get a beer, you sit there, you kind of chit chat with your buddies, but then like when something cool happens, you're like, Whoa, like I saw that. Like you hear the crack of the bat as they hit the ball so hard that they score a home run. Like that's awesome. Yeah, that's a that's a cool like experience to have. Like, um it's I don't know, it's just it's it's fun. I but I do think that that plays along with the idea of like I don't want to go see a baseball game every week because then I feel like then the live aspect kind of loses its touch. Yeah, it doesn't like make it worse, but it like doesn't make it as much of a spectacle or as much of like wow, this is such a cool thing that I get to do. It's like, oh no, this is just the norm. Um but yeah, I don't know. I I enjoy going to sports. I think you kind of rattled off some. I've been to I've been to football games, I've been to basketball games. I guess one. I was gonna say games. I've been to this and the Harlem Globe Trotters. Nice. Which is kind of a basketball game. For people who don't know who the Harlem Globetrotters are, they're a basketball team, but it's more of a show than it is a basketball game because it's rigged. They win every time, and they're more I don't want to say circus-y, but like it's more showmanship.

SPEAKER_01 33:08

You know, they're they're like very they're very skilled, they're very fucking good at basketball, they're very skilled. It's kind of like watching a football match if the whole entire team was a bunch of beach Brazilians that just like joggle the ball and do tricks the whole game and score ridiculous goals and and joke around.

SPEAKER_03 33:24

And they also do little fun things where they're like they'll be going up against someone, they'll do like a point, and then they bounce the ball off of them back to themselves. Like they'll kind of fuck around, and it's like it's kind of like wrestling where you're like, well, that was scripted. Like, they didn't just like fully believe them. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:40

Um and they have like another one I was watching, they had a dude that was like 5'4 but could dunk for some reason.

SPEAKER_03 33:46

Yeah, yeah, like insane. Um kind of similar, something new that's coming up, which I think is really, really cool. Is have you seen the Savannah Bananas? No. Oh my god, okay, you do need to see this. So basically, baseball, unless you're an MLB, just doesn't really make money because nobody watches baseball anymore and it's a dying sport. However, there was a team that was probably an independent league team called the Savannah Bananas. Uh as of uh Savannah, Georgia. Georgia. They decided nobody is watching them and they're not making money. So they decided to make their shows way more theatrical. Now, like it's grown so much. I think they even have like their own league where everyone is doing theatrical points. They changed a lot of the rules of baseball to make it more interesting. I think they had a rule where like if you hit like a foul ball and s and a person in the stands catches it, it's an out. That's like they added that's good. They added a ton of they added a ton of things to speed up the game, they added a ton of things to make it more interesting. Like anything that wasn't interesting, they were just like, fine, we're changing it. Because it became more of a spectacle than like a sport, if that makes sense. Like it's still athletic, it's still a sport, but it's more of a performance than it is like the best of the best competing to be the best of the best. They have a guy who pitches on stilts. Or I guess he bats on stilts, right? Um, and then runs on the stilts. They're do they're like catching the ball, like doing backflips, they're doing little like dances on the field. Um, they have rules for like different innings. It's awesome. You should you should look it up, even just like clips.

SPEAKER_01 35:37

Honestly, half the time I I I do find that people having like one of the reasons why is you know the the sidemen, the the YouTube group. The their new their next charity matches coming up, and they've been doing football soccer charity matches since like 2016. They had a few years off during the pandemic, but they've done like I think this is their seventh one or something. Um, and I think the Cybemen charity matches are almost more entertaining than real football games because like yeah, there's there's always uh something fun about watching the best of the best in the world going up against each other, but there's something just as fun about people playing a sport, having fun and doing dumb stuff. It's like in the Cybeman charity match, you have like you have like speed, like pulling down the referee's pants and getting a yellow card for it. You have KSI rugby tackling people, like it it's obviously not it's not high quality football, but the games end like seven to six or eight to five. Yeah. And there's goals everywhere. The goalkeepers are terrible, so any shot goes in. It's it ends up being like a way more entertaining one-off match than like any nil-nil or one-nil Premier League game could ever be. Yeah, so like I I I like that.

SPEAKER_03 36:50

I mean, it's a weird thing because like any athlete that is playing, it's probably on their mind a little bit, but like they're not sitting here going, oh, I'm here to put on a show. They're they're there to go like I'm here to do the best athletically, intelligently at this sport and attempt to win in order to win a competition. And it just happens to be televised, where it's like it's kind of fun when you take some of these sports and you make them entertainment focused, yeah, in a way that doesn't feel like capitalism, like like you know, they're just trying to make money, but like they're trying to almost make art out of sport.

SPEAKER_01 37:27

Well, I think there's there's one sport that has done that to the maximum and have been extremely successful because of that, and that's WWE. The whole thing is a performance, it's a sport, it's yourself to be insanely fit, and you have to know your shit to not get you know killed because it is dangerous. Like it WWE is a fully like performance-based sport. They they make scripts, they have storylines, they have different characters, and it's super entertaining.

SPEAKER_03 37:55

Yeah, it yeah, it is incredibly entertaining and incredibly not real. I'm sorry to anyone that we just broke to you that the that WWE is not real. Yeah, well if if if you don't want to believe it, it's real to you, and I'm okay.

SPEAKER_01 38:10

So I always had this misconception of it when I was younger. When people told me that WWE wasn't real, I thought they meant like it was just like completely fake somehow. Like, but like when they're doing it, when someone's punching someone, they're still kind of punching them. It's just not as brutal. When someone's like taking them off the high roofs and slamming them, they're still slamming them. It's just that WWE like stage is like kind of rubbery and elastic, and like isn't it's not like they get the falling on a hard floor, but you see WWE stars still get injured like crazy by doing it. Yeah, it's just that it's scripted off on like who's gonna win, what moves they're gonna do, people trained together so they know how each the other wrestlers work. Uh it's like Harlem Group Globe Jotters, basically, but as a sport. Yeah. But like no one really watches real wrestling.

SPEAKER_03 38:56

Yeah, it's it's a lot less popular than WWE for sure.

unknown 39:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 39:02

I don't know the last time I watched a live wrestling match.

SPEAKER_01 39:05

No, I never. The only type of wrestling I think I'd watch is sumo, because that's more interesting. Sumo's pretty entertaining, yeah. Yeah.

The World Cup Song Is The Worst Thing We've Ever Heard

SPEAKER_03 39:14

Yeah. Uh well, kind of speaking about soccer. I'm kind of speaking about things that are that could be considered entertaining. What if we what if we spoke on a topic that's related to soccer, but weirdly not entertaining? Dan, I think you know where I'm going with this. Yep. Um, it a I don't know if they're making a playlist. I don't know if there's just songs that are relatively related. But uh FIFA has put out a song called Lighter for the upcoming World Cup. It's got Jelly Roll and I'm gonna mispronounce it with Karen Leon.

SPEAKER_01 39:51

No idea.

SPEAKER_03 39:53

I don't know. I don't recognize the artist. Um give it a listen for like 10 seconds. You don't really need to listen all of it. You kind of get the idea pretty quickly. Um this is like official FIFA, like they paid these people money to make these songs, and then they are now advertising these songs.

SPEAKER_01 40:14

It's everywhere. Uh this one to come.

SPEAKER_03 40:17

It's bad. It's everywhere. It fucking sucks. I don't I'm sure there's an audience that does enjoy this, but I I it's it well it sucks. I think John Do has a really good voice.

SPEAKER_01 40:31

He's a good singer, but I don't care for the music he makes. Uh, for context, I've been listening to this song not by choice, by torture, I guess, just through social media for the past few days. Chad has not listened to it until about 50 minutes ago when I told him to listen to it. Um, and he already hates it more than Arsenal fans.

SPEAKER_03 40:54

I don't know if I'd go that far, but there it's you know, give me another hour and maybe.

SPEAKER_01 41:01

It is just the most like there's so many things it's been compared to. People say it's like a do perfect intro song, people say it's like a Ford commercial. I think it sounds like something that would have been played at the MAGA halftime show for the Super Bowl. It is just abysmal, especially like for a World Cup song. Like, we we we know World Cup songs, the the classics. We got Shakira, we got Jason Darula made one, we got the Waven Flag. I can't remember the names of any of them, but uh I you know all of them. Like they're very iconic, very good songs. They usually a lot of the World Cup songs have like sort of like Latin African vibes to them, because like they're meant to be more global songs, and like some of the biggest footballing nations are in like South America or do have like African roots, some like or like are in Europe. They're usually a lot more like interesting. This is like the most American southern country, uplifting Christian weird mix I've ever heard for a World Cup song.

SPEAKER_03 42:02

It's a really good like explanation of the most incredibly basic capitalistic like stadium country, yeah where it's like if you compare this to like real country, you're like, this isn't because real country, like going back, is there's no electronics in it, and I'm not saying things can't evolve and things can't change. I like adding electronics to music. I'm a big fan of like synth music, but like you know, a typical classic uh country song is gonna have a singer, it's gonna have probably drums, guitar, like a mandolin, maybe a fiddle, uh, maybe like a stand-up bass. Like it's gonna have that sort of stuff. Um I don't know if an instrument was thought of in this song. Like it feels it the the first comment, the very first comment on FIFA's official YouTube um like hosting of this is AI generate me a generic uplifting coworker song. That's exactly what it sounds like. It's it just it it just sounds like slot.

SPEAKER_01 43:10

Yeah, and it's so disappointing because not only is this the first song never released, and the first song sort of sets the tone for the tournament.

SPEAKER_03 43:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 43:18

On top of all the other stuff surrounding this World Cup that's already so negative, the fact that some teams might be pulling out due to the wars that are happening, Iran almost definitely will have to pull out. There's like no chance they're gonna get in unless things resolve very quickly. Um, there's talks about other countries, maybe even Spain, Germany possibly pulling out. I don't think they will, but it's just the negative aura and discussion around this World Cup. The fact that every single non American is like, oh, the American, like, I know we were talking before about how the entertainment in American sports and the live thing is like very different but very cool. But it's also not football. And a lot of people are very worried about um like about football being too Americanized and getting ruined. Like, if if like if they end up doing like Well, what one of the changes they've already made, they've said they're gonna make, is that in all of the World Cup games, it's gonna be half time as it is usually, but there's also gonna be they're basically making football into quarters because they're gonna have like two-minute to five-minute water breaks halfway through the first half and halfway through the second half. They've already said they're gonna do that. And if they go ahead and put like little events or songs in between them, they've basically just made football into American football. That's not gonna go well with a lot of fans at all. And then on top of that, you have this abysmal song as like the first representation of the vibe of this World Cup. And music's a very powerful thing. Music is like an extremely powerful thing that brings people together, and this is not a good start at all. It's just like I don't know who is in charge of the advertising, promoting for this World Cup, but they've just done such a terrible job so far.

SPEAKER_03 44:54

Yeah, I it's it's also like I like I'm listening to the lyrics and it's talking about like it's like unshackle yourself and rise up. It's like I it it doesn't even feel related. No, I don't I don't know what it has to do with the world cup. But I'm like, again, it just is like generic country song.

SPEAKER_01 45:16

It doesn't even make sense to it, it doesn't like add up to anything, like it doesn't make any like most of the big World Cup songs are like talking about like bringing people together through love and sport and all that. You've like the I it's like waving flags or something, or whatever that song is. It's about like all the flags of the world coming together. Like I know it's not directly tied to football, but the fact that we're having a World Cup, what one of the most probably the single most unifying event we have on this earth that brings everyone together happening in a country that's actively taking part in a war currently, it's just uh it's so it's upsetting.

SPEAKER_03 45:57

But um but Dan, we're called the United States. How could it be more unifying than that?

SPEAKER_01 46:03

Yeah, it just it does feel like we're bringing the World Cup to America for America to make it all about themselves again, especially with this song. Because the world we need to remember the World Cup's not just in the US, it's the US, Canada, and Mexico. And like they do seemingly have a I don't know if the the artist on this song is Mexican, but they have seemingly a Latin singer on this song. I haven't I've only heard clips of the song, I I haven't heard a single Spanish word in there.

SPEAKER_03 46:27

I I also haven't finished the song because I had a hard time listening to it. I'm a minute in and I haven't heard it yet. I'm sure he's in there somewhere. That or it's like he produced it or something like that. Yeah. Um but like I couldn't, I would if you just told me it was jelly roll, I'd been like, yeah, that makes sense. And they'd be like, Did you sense the Latin influences? And I would have been like, What? Yeah, not at all. Uh we were kind of talking about before the podcast. I think one that would go hard in that you get a a Latin person, you get a Latin person who is American, and then a Canadian person, a bad bunny Justin Bieber song. Yeah, I think could go hard. A people fucking love Bad Bunny, and especially especially for like soccer, a just the world, a lot of people speak Spanish. Yeah, basically the entirety of South America. The rest speak Portuguese, it's similar to Spanish. Fight me if you want to, I don't care. And then all like a lot, all of like Central America, and then Mexico, and then honestly, a lot of the United States speak Spanish. Spanish is a pretty big fucking language, and especially a lot of those countries are known for being good at soccer. If you give me a Spanish song, it makes so much sense. Bad Bunny is massive, he just played the Super Bowl, he's really big on Spotify, he's multiple billion like stream songs.

SPEAKER_01 47:55

Yeah, it would have been the perfect moment to do it after the Super Bowl success and all that.

SPEAKER_03 48:00

Yeah, and he's American he's Puerto Rican, which is a territory of America, so he's American citizen, so it counts within that. And then you throw Justin Bieber, Canadian citizen.

SPEAKER_01 48:12

Yeah, I it does it does feel weird to throw a one Mexican uniting three nations for this first big song to not be uniting those three nations. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 48:21

Like, is Jelly Roll Canadian, uh part Canadian or something? There's no way that Jelly Roll is anything but like Texas. Let's let's let's see. Let's what does it say? He says he's American. Says he's American. I kind of want to see where he's born. Uh Nashville, Tennessee. Yeah, that's about what I would expect.

SPEAKER_01 48:46

That makes sense.

SPEAKER_03 48:49

That makes a lot of sense. Yeah, he kind of has post-malone vibes as well. Because he's got because I think he's stats. Him and post Malone, I think, are really similar because he's it doesn't say he's a he's a country artist. It says Jelly Roll, American rapper, singer, songwriter. Yeah, also an occasional professional wrestler.

SPEAKER_01 49:10

Oh, yeah, I don't think he's necessarily country, he just sort of has that voice that comes off that way.

SPEAKER_03 49:16

Well, I kind of think he probably started rapping and then it didn't it wasn't successful, and then he tried country and then it worked.

SPEAKER_01 49:25

Possibly, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 49:25

I mean postmone wasn't successful at rapping, but like he moved to country because I think he found he had a really good voice for it. Um, also, I I like Postmone, he seems like a cool guy. He is like the definition of white trash aesthetically, and that fits country. I mean he used to I have nothing against postmone.

SPEAKER_01 49:43

He used to hang out with Minecraft YouTubers, so you know. Did you know that? It's like it's pretty well known that he used to hang out. I actually didn't know that. He used to hang out with you can see him in photos with like Skydow's Minecraft and his Minecraft crew, he was a part of their friend group back in like the early 2010s. Huh. I did not know that.

SPEAKER_03 50:02

And no Minecraft YouTuber has ever been known for doing anything bad.

SPEAKER_01 50:07

Right, Dan? Of course not.

SPEAKER_03 50:10

Stand up citizens. There's other uh every single one of them, none of them done wrong. Don't check the criminal records. For sure.

SPEAKER_01 50:16

Yeah, so I just I mean, maybe they can redeem it, but I always feel like the first song or the first big like announcement of an event like this should you need to stick the landing, and they just miss the mark completely. Like the fact that there's not I have not seen I've seen multiple different clips, I've spoken to multiple people, I've seen multiple comments, I've not seen a single person write a positive thing about this song. Not one.

SPEAKER_03 50:42

Yeah, I don't think we're necessarily in this the social circles of people that like jelly roll, but like we're in the social circles of people who like soccer.

SPEAKER_01 50:51

I mean, it's not even that it's not even that I hate jelly roll. I have like I said to you before, I have two songs of his on my playlist with like 2,000 songs. Therefore, he's I think he's a really good voice. I think he's a talented singer. It's just not the right vibe for the tournament whatsoever.

SPEAKER_03 51:05

No, it it doesn't it doesn't work. Um FIFA in their comment when they posted this, the track marks the first chapter of a groundbreaking album created for the most inclusive FIFA World Cup in history.

SPEAKER_01 51:21

The most inclusive was it's not gonna be the most inclusive.

SPEAKER_03 51:24

Oh, is this the most inclusive? I technically speaking, there's more actually I see the argument. There's more teams, so it's more inclusive in that way. Um it's a weird but thing.

SPEAKER_01 51:38

There's more Chad. There are more teams, but most of those teams fans won't be able to come because they're barred from entry to the States.

SPEAKER_03 51:47

That is sadly true. That is sadly very true. Uh yeah. Yeah, you're not wrong. I'm curious with them saying it's an album. I'm curious to see what other songs come out. Maybe they surprise us and we start getting some Mexican artists.

SPEAKER_01 52:02

I'm sure we will, I'm sure we will get some like good songs in there. It's just that it's the first one, it's the one everyone's gonna remember.

SPEAKER_03 52:07

Yeah, it's a first impression, and it's they've kind of fucked it.

SPEAKER_01 52:11

Yeah, they've kind of fucked it already.

SPEAKER_03 52:12

Yeah. Yeah, I'm just reading these comments and uh let's let's see. Truck driving simulator main menu ass song. Um, the dude perfect comment was honestly super accurate of like it's the kind of and it's again, it's nothing against Dude Perfect. I like Dude Perfect, they're entertaining. Um, but it is they put generic mu generic like hype music on in the background.

SPEAKER_01 52:36

Epic sports moments volume five are opening.

SPEAKER_03 52:39

Yeah, yeah. Which is like for dude perfect, dude perfect's purpose, a little tongue twister for you. Um, it makes sense because they're doing epic sports things, and also their focus isn't on their music, it's on the actual act. So you add some like kind of hype music behind it. This is literally just a song and nothing else. So the entire point is the music, and it's not great. Another one that someone wrote was the type of music that your PE teacher will play to motivate you. Uh that it's it's accurate. Um, I also like the first we foot, then we ball. Let's football.

SPEAKER_01 53:22

Yeah, I I just I'm just very cute because it feels from the outside, it feels like a very American thing. But like FIFA's body isn't American. So I don't know who's like behind the marketing for this specifically.

SPEAKER_03 53:37

I don't know. It's also funny because I'm like, America has so many incredibly talented artists in various different genres. So they definitely think that's a good thing. I don't even think Jelly Roll's untalented. I think he hits a more of a niche. I think he has an incredible voice, but this song is also like not his best work either, is the thing. It does kind of sound like AI wrote it. I'm not gonna lie. It does. Or it sounds like they hit him up and they're like, yo, Jelly Roll, you have a day.

SPEAKER_01 54:09

Just honestly, I think I think someone wrote it and they were like, what artist can we get to sing this? They got jelly roll and he just sang it and left.

SPEAKER_03 54:18

Yeah. Like, I wouldn't be shocked if he wasn't that involved in this. Same. It does sound as long as anything. It kind of sounds like that.

SPEAKER_01 54:28

And it wouldn't shock me if it is.

SPEAKER_03 54:31

I wouldn't shock me whatsoever. And I I guess I'd I guess I'd hate it more, but I just still hate I just don't like it. No. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 54:45

I think we're just gonna get Shakira back, run it back, man. She always kills it. Just have Shakira every year.

SPEAKER_03 54:51

Everyone likes her. Shakira's great. Everyone likes her. Honestly, she kind of looks the same as she did like 10 years ago. She's aged incredibly well. Um Shakira's great. She was married to a footballer who for some reason decided to cheat on her, which is the wildest thing. Yeah, she's awesome.

SPEAKER_01 55:12

I think he cheated her with another player's mom or something.

SPEAKER_03 55:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 55:17

I feel like that was the that was the thing.

SPEAKER_03 55:19

What are you doing, PK? What are you doing, bro?

SPEAKER_01 55:22

What are you doing? Shakira. I know right. Crazy fumble.

SPEAKER_03 55:28

Absolute terrible fumble. If he was playing a different sport, he wouldn't have made that mistake because he'd be like, ah, fumble's bad. Wrong football.

SPEAKER_01 55:40

No.

SPEAKER_03 55:44

Do you have fumbles in in do is it ever called a fumble in like rugby or like Ozzy rules football? Uh you could drop the ball, but I don't know if fumble is terminology that you guys would.

SPEAKER_01 55:58

I don't I I don't I'm I don't I'm not in the sport enough to know, but I don't think so.

SPEAKER_03 56:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 56:04

I don't think so. Usually in AFL, because in AFL you have to dribble it like a basketball. And but and it's the shape of an American football kind of. You can also just touch it on the ground, but it's obviously much faster to just bounce it. Um it sounds more difficult than it is. It's actually not too too bad. Um yeah, I think it you can you can I don't know if they'd use the term. The only thing in AFL that's similar is that if you kick the ball, it has to be over a certain distance. I'm gonna guess like 20 meters or something. I don't know. If you kick the ball a certain distance and your teammate catches it, what happens if they catch it? It's almost like it goes into like a free kick where like no one can attack that player, they get time to like reset, players can move around, then they can kick it again. If they drop it, that doesn't happen, and the play just continues and people can come try and steal the ball and everything. So, like, in a sense, if you fumble that, you you miss a chance to set yourself up to play on better. I don't know if it's called a fumble though.

SPEAKER_03 57:01

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_01 57:03

It just you didn't catch a random interjection. You just didn't catch it, I guess. Yeah. I mean I can do a quick Google search.

SPEAKER_03 57:11

I mean it doesn't matter. I you can. I won't stop you. Um but no, maybe okay. I didn't I didn't think so. Um either way, uh I think we're gonna get it.

SPEAKER_01 57:26

Okay, no, there are. Yeah, so the thing I was describing before is called catching a mark. It's when you catch it the ball over a certain amount of distance, if you drop it uh you basically you fuck up. Um and you just play it on basically. That's kind of it, really. Okay.

GTA VI News?

SPEAKER_03 57:45

Okay. Well, everyone has more wisdom now. Unless you already knew that. If that's if that's the case, fuck you. Nah, that's too harsh, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_01 57:55

Uh, one quick thing I do want to talk about. Uh there's been some leaks recently about the GTS 6 trailer 3 when people are predicting it might come out. First of all, there's a there's a leak that apparently it might be coming out on Switch 2, which I'd be very shocked if it did. But that's a different thing. Um, but there's been rumors, there's initially rumors there might be trailer three out start of April. That might happen. But then the other rumors are trailer three might come out in like August or September, which would be really strange to me because I don't know why they wouldn't want to promote it at the World Cup. I feel like that'd be like the perfect marketing opportunity to have like a big trailer come out during the World Cup when everyone's all watching the TV together already, and to have like marketing, you could have marketing throughout the stadium, throughout the stands for GTS6. It'd be really in Miami. Exactly. Like it's where the game, it's where the game's gonna take place. It'd be really weird for them to wait until after the tournament. Maybe there's something about the fact that because it's 18 plus they can't promote it, but they promote gambling sites at sports all the time and BL. Yeah, but that's because gambling is fine.

SPEAKER_03 59:05

Yeah. Um, yeah, I don't know. It could also maybe they just don't want everything to be I maybe because there'll be so much going on during the World Cup, they don't want it to like get lost in the crowd of like advertising. Maybe I don't know that, or maybe FIFA's just difficult to secure deals with and GTA just didn't get there in time. Because like they were supposed to have the game released by now. So maybe FIFA like locks their sponsors in early and GTA just didn't get to it, or maybe GTA just wasn't feeling it. But you're right, literally everyone watches the World Cup. So seeing GTA ads would be big. I could see maybe they wouldn't want to drop big ads if GTA wasn't coming out soon enough. That's the only thing for ads in June and the game comes out in November. It's like maybe they don't want to confuse people on accident.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:00

That's the only thing. It's about like how short do they want their marketing campaign to be. But the thing is, they could release a trailer three and then they could do a trailer four later.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:12

Yeah. I mean Todd Howard announced Elder Scrolls 6 like eight years ago or some shit like that. Hell yeah. My ghost. So you can do whatever you want. Yeah. I don't know. I I'd be curious to see, but also, I don't know, until I have a really until it's like out almost. I I mean I'm looking forward to trailers, but like I don't know, until it's out, speculation, speculation to me.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:39

Yeah, I I usually stay away from speculation because like it doesn't change anything. It's not gonna me reading the fucking newest Reddit post on leaks from some fuck ass bumble McGee is not gonna make it come out any faster. Like it's it's just gonna make me more annoyed that it's not here. So I just try and stay away from it usually. But since we talk about the World Cup, I thought that'd be an interesting little point.

Outro

SPEAKER_03 1:01:00

Yeah. No, I I I'm always I'm always looking forward to GTA news. We haven't had in a while, so. No, we have not. Time will tell. Uh well, Dan, I think this is a good place uh to stop. And if you guys liked what we talked about, let us know. If you didn't like what we talked about, let us know. We will cry. Uh if you have any comments on live sports on the new jelly roll song, let us know. Leave a little comment below and uh we'll we'll try and get back to you.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:28

Yeah, if you could sing the entire jelly roll song and send it to our DMs so we can listen to it as we sleep, that'd be great. Thank you.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:35

It's the only way we'll be able to fall asleep. Dan has a hard time sleeping, and this is actually the only way he can do it.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:40

Well, I've actually had the song stuck in my head like every night trying to fall asleep because as bad as it is, uh these people know how to make it catchy. Like it is sure.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:48

And if you hear it enough times, it's just in your brain.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:50

Yeah, it's bad.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:51
