#213 Did FIFA Fix The WORLD CUP?

Did FIFA fix the world cup for Lionel Messi and Lemini Amal? - What do you mean by that? - So the tonight show covered something, Jimmy Fallon, and it gets kind of freaky, okay? - Okay, tell me about it. - You've seen the baby photo of Messi and Amal? - I have. Messi's like weirdly bathing Lemini Amal. Also, like, why'd that happen? Like, did they know he was gonna be a soccer player? - You didn't hear the story about that? - No. I have no idea. Lemini Amal's family won a raffle. It was totally random. Of random raffle? 100% random. I was wondering why he was in the bathtub just holding. I was like, was he born as the prodigy? Like, I had no idea. I don't know what it was for, but he won a raffle for whatever reason to, like, meet Lionel Messi when he was on the come-up, and they took the picture together. I don't know what the picture was for. Whatever it is, you've seen the photo. - You've seen the photo? - Messi in that photo is 39 years old. Correct. Lemini Amal was 20 years old in that photo. Okay. That equals 19, which is how old Lemini Amal is right now. He is 19 years old. That would make sense. He took picture as a baby. That makes sense. What number does Yamal wear now? I'm assuming he wears number 19. He does wear number 19. Coincidence? I mean, I guess. Maybe? Maybe not. I think FIFA fixed this. We're going to go to another one. That picture was taken in 2007. All right. What year is it today, Brian? It's 2026. 2026 minus 2007 equals what? Let me do the math. 19. You are correct. That's 19 years ago. All right. Is it getting weird yet? I don't really see the correlation, but yeah, go on. What was Messi's jersey number in 2007? Well, he's 10 now, but I think before that he was number 19. He was number 19, I think, for Barcelona in 2007. If it wasn't Barcelona, you're going to get ripped apart. I'm probably going to. And the final thing was that the World Cup this year became Spain versus Argentina. Spain versus Argentina. The final took place on what date? Brian. I have no idea. Well, it happened this past Sunday. Spain took over the line. July 19th. It is July 19th. That's insane. A lot of 19s being flown around here. It's pretty ridiculous. So I think there's a conspiracy here that FIFA fixed this World Cup so that all these number 19s aligned. Can I ask you a question? Yeah. What's the meaning of this? I just think FIFA fixed the World Cup. I'm trying to. What do they do? I'm trying to go into a conspiracy. I understand that it's weird that the number 19 keeps happening, but what's the conspiracy? I think the 19s? Well, yes. But, you know, when we say like the Super Bowl, the colors, the matchups and stuff, this is a similar type topic, no? Yeah. Yeah, go with that time. It works. It works. It does. I would have been really freaked out if the World Cup happened and Luminium all scored in the 19th minute. That's where I would have drawn the line. Yeah, I mean, it would have been nuts. I think it's just a weird coincidence. How many shots did Spain have? Definitely not in 19. I don't know. It was a lot though. I don't know. And Argentina didn't have a single shot until extra time. Yeah, I know. 19 seems like a lot of shots on goal for the World Cup. It's also different between shots and shots on goal. Oh, 18. They had 20. Oh, wow. That would have been really freaking. It would have been freaking. Okay. Maybe they scored on the 19th shot. They might have. They might. They might have had. Because they scored late, didn't they? Which shot did they score? They're 12th shot on target in the 106 minute. Conspiracy busted. Yeah. Okay, well, we tried. We tried. Welcome back to the podcast. This is pod two, something, 13. Two, 13. I have a lot of updates. I just want to kind of keep the people where we are. Yeah, run through them. I don't know if you've like processed this. You actually had like a day where you were like, I need to get my life together. Yeah, we've had the probably the busiest two weeks of our life and going into our third busiest week of our life. Right when we thought it was over. And we covered it in a podcast before. We extended. Yeah, we extended it. Okay, so we were in Lake Tahoe from July 7th to the 11th. Correct, with Travis Matthew for the ACC. We hosted the YouTube FIFA Creator Cup on the sideline. We didn't host. We were on the sideline. We were sideline reporters for I Show Speed's team, which was actually really cool. And it was the winning team. It was the winning team. That was on July 12th. Correct. We filmed our podcast and game time on July 13th. We went to the home run derby that night and we stayed at the casino until 5.30 in the morning. Yes, yeah, that was tough. I mean, I had to stay. To be honest, I had to stay because I was down. I had to get back. And our buddy, Pap, was supporting you. He was there. He was up. Yeah, it was a good vibe. We had to keep it going. And then I had to drive back to Connecticut on Tuesday. I drove your car. We drove back up Jerry's city. I went up to Connecticut for a rest day. Correct. Which I wouldn't even really call rest because we were still doing work. We were just hanging out. And then we played in the program for NJ Golf on July 15th. I did not play well. I played horrible. Yeah, he didn't play well. I'm standing too far from the ball. All right, move on. Okay, moving on, no one cares. I hosted a pickleball tournament for the court of legends at City Pickle on that Wednesday night. Yeah, I did not go. I did not attend. We interviewed Luke Wilson and Fortune Femister on July 16th. Did you know her last name? Yeah, I didn't either. I was just calling her Fortune from SNL. Yes, same. We went to Fanatics Fest from July 16th to 19th. Had shows on the 18th and 19th. We had a golf adding on the 20th that I went to yesterday. And now we have a Scotland trip where we're playing St Andrews, the old course, and Jubilee. Yep. I guess July 21st till July 25th. Yeah. And then we have one week off. And then I go to Las Vegas. And then when I get back from Las Vegas, we go to Memphis. We go to Memphis. It's literally not the week after that. I'm supposed to go on vacation for a week. But that's, I don't care about that. I know, that's different. Well, you get to chill out, hopefully, during that time. Yeah, but I'm being Las Vegas for a week. What's trade show? I mean, you're casino kind of stories that have been going on. Yeah. Very up and down recently. Yeah, I'm fine with it. As long as I'm coming out like around even, I'm okay. Yeah. That was a lot of fun. I pay for the entertainment. Yes, yeah. And then we should have some clips coming out from the home run derby. Yes. A few of the events that we've been at. Yeah, we have a lot of outside of the studio coming, content coming to you guys. It's going to be fun. Like, man on the street, we got some skits. We're going to film some, a lot of stuff in Scotland. I think we should film some stuff going to Scotland. Maybe like outside of the golf course and the pubs or something. Just to showcase the culture. Maybe that's where we film the intro for that stuff. That's what I was thinking. Yeah, that's nice. Now we're there. Yeah, yeah. Any other updates that you have? I'm tired. Yeah. But everything's good. But how is yesterday? Did you feel like you're recovered? Yeah, I recovered. I cleaned my entire apartment. Nice. It was nice. I prepped for today. I got a video edited and then I went to sleep. Can I say my theory? Yes. Is that you're going away for another four or five days that you want to make sure the house was in order? I did. Yeah. Plus my dad's prime being a good person. Well, I was trying to make sure when I get back, it's clean. Which it's nice to walk into a clean apartment. And then if my girlfriend goes back and she sees it's clean, she'll also enjoy that. It's a nice clean apartment. She'll appreciate it. So we sacrifice it. I put the dishes away the other day. I got a text being like, it was in the morning. Wow. No, no, no. It was in the morning. He put the dishes away. I woke up early to commute down here yesterday and then she got home and she texted me an acknowledge it. Therefore, I was like, you know what? This was a good thing I did. You put the dishes away. Well, I also put them in there. Oh, my God. Come on, man. We just paused for a second. It was kind of applause. Jesus. Did the laundry? You know, I'm doing all the chores around my house. Worked from a work from a home guy. Yeah, other than that, no other updates on my hands. Shout out to fanatics for having us. We did two live shows. We'll probably post that. We have videos of the live shows. One was with a professor and Chase Coburn. Yeah. And then the other was with an insane Shane Fatt Stafford speed and the last take guys. So we'll probably, I'm assuming we'll post them. We'll post them. They won't be like our numbered podcasts. Yeah. It'll be like a one-off show. They'll come out though. But we have the footage. They were a lot of fun. So you guys, we got some, we got a lot of content coming out. A lot of stuff. That's the updates. But we need time to be able to organize it and like actually get it out. Which is the problem. It's a great problem to have. Yeah. Well, on the flight tonight, if we get out of the storms, we're going to get out. I'm going to try and get all the out of the studio stuff edited and/or organized because I moved up to the first row in economy. I did the same thing. Yeah. What are you going to have? A lot of room. I have a window seat on the right side. Oh, I have the window on the left. Yeah, we're chilling. Nice. Let's go. It's huge. Um, okay. Back to the pod. Yes. You were talking about LaMini Mall and Lionel Messi. Can we take a second? Yeah. How are you doing? I'm good. Okay. I mean. That's our producer, Anthony. It's the furthest you've made it in since you started that you haven't talked. I mean, you guys just aren't getting me involved. That's why I want to pause and ask you a question. What are you going to ask? How are you dealing? Yeah, I just wanted to know how you're doing. I'm checking in. I'm all right. Yeah. That's Anthony from Makeshift Music. Who is the coolest guy that you interviewed this weekend at Fanatics Fest? Coolest guy. Because there was a lot of start. It was a star-studded lineup. We met a lot, a lot of athletes, a lot of celebrities. I don't like, no, I don't not like him, but not the biggest fan of Logan Paul. But super nice guy. So that kind of changed my life thing. Okay, so you like him again. You got to hold the hair. I'm jagged badly. He does need a hair. It looks terrible. Is this like a persona? He's trying to pull off. I don't know, this is the longest his hair has been. You should grow. But I was telling you that he only has like two haircuts left before. Yeah. Because once he gets one, it's not growing. You know what I mean? Like, he's balding. Yeah, he's balding. But those haircuts hanging over. Those haircuts that he had, yeah, they hang it over the wid- like the widow's peak. Put your head back up. My hair, that's bad. Put it back, put back. Shape my head more consistently. Put that back down. It's so bad. It's because you're not bald. You're bald day. Yeah. I'm just taking finaster out. I gotta stop. My favorite person that I met. It's like a drug to like stop your hair from falling out. Yeah. And then he's supposed to mix that with minoxidil which grows your hair. Which I've done the minoxidil and then I moved on to the finaster. Just get a trend. Do you want to get hair back? I don't know. I think I'm out. Then stop taking the pills. I know. Well, why are you still taking that? Because I'm like, because I don't want to lose the opportunity in case I change my mind. Because I change my mind so often. You're an emotional wreck. All the time. I'm having a midlife crisis right now. You really have to try to level. - Yeah. - Can that be your like rest of summer goal to try to level the emotions? - I feel like I'm level today. I feel like I'm coming out steady. - You've been pretty good today. - You are really up and down. - Oh yeah. - And say this all the time. - Yeah. - I'm fully aware, I get it. I wanted to give a shout out to, I forget his name, but the little kid that came up to us after our show that watches every single long form podcast, and he had the facts. Forget his name, but shout out to him. - He let's it out. - Yeah, like niche things from each podcast and our videos. - Did you see that? - Yeah, I know his face. I don't know his name. - The only thing he got wrong was my birthday, but it's because the podcast dropped on my birthday. - Correct. - But he basically listed like 30 facts. It was unbelievable. - So if you want the updated birthdays, mind's April 3rd, his is April 30th. - At a zero. - And he got mine. - At a zero he got his. Okay, my favorite person that I met at Fanatics, I think might have been Kat. - I love talking to Kat. - Freak guy. - Carl Anthony Towns. - Yes, Carl Anthony Towns, New York nick champion. I told him I was like, you made my life. - Yeah, he's not weird. - It's weird. - I didn't say like that. - Just because the next one, the champion. - Yeah, yeah. I was like, you did it. I'm like, you met and he goes, yeah, we really did that. - Did you go up to him and say, we did it? - We did it, man. - We did it. - I was like, I feel like a blacked-out, the entire time. - Yeah. - All right, moving on. - Let's go. Soccer topics. - All right, I have a laminum all topic. - Are we soccer podcast? - Well, this is gonna be like the last real soccer, I think, that we talk about. - Cut it off now. - Then forget about it for four years. We'll be back in four years. Laminum all's life story could be a movie. - And why do you say that? Listen to these facts about how he grew up. Does it start with the baby picture? - No. - Okay. - His mother had him at the age of 16 years old. That's very young. That's just starting off. After that, his dad had to pick up garbage and stuff off the street to put food on the table. And this was obviously in Spain. - Yes, in Spain. So this was like, he started from the slums, he grew up to be obviously a world cup champion now. - Why are they so much better than us? - I don't know. - As a child, Yamal's family couldn't afford club fees so a local team allowed him to keep playing and waive the fees for his family. - Was it because he showed talent? - I think so. And they were trying to do a good deed. He wasn't laminum all yet. And he was a talented kid. - Yeah, okay. So they saw potential where we're gonna invest in this guy. - Correct. - The age of seven, Barcelona brought laminum all into La Maria. Do you know what that is? - No idea. - It's the same youth academy that helped develop Lionel Messi. - Oh. - So this is when he started getting put on the map. - Can I, where is that? Barcelona. - Okay, so Messi went to Barcelona or does it like a worldwide thing? - Well, he went to Barcelona. - Okay. - He went to the. - Just making sure. - At 15 years old, he becomes Barcelona's youngest ever La Liga player and won the league title 15 days later. - Well, I saw something that he's played like 33 like international matches. - Yeah. - And I was like, he's 19. How is that even possible? - He was 15 years old on Barcelona. - Yeah. - That's ridiculous. - Is he, like, he's really that guy though? - He's that guy. - Is he the next Messi? - I think it seems like he is. I don't know. Like, it feels like we're passing a torch here. One year later, at 16 years and 87 days old, Yamal became the youngest goal scorer in La Liga history. - I mean, that's ridiculous. - He was 16 years old when he schooled. - Well, what were you doing at 16? - At 16, I was a freshman in college. I had my first beer. - You were not a freshman in college at 16. - You were a first beer in college. - I was not a freshman in college. - 18, we were a freshman. - 'Cause remember, we drove to school. - Okay. - At 15 years old. - I think we were juniors in high school. - No. - Yes. - How would that work? - I think when it's 15. - At 15, that's three. - That's a three-year difference from freshmen. We got our license. - You're a sophomore. - You're a 15-year sophomore. - Yeah, but 16, you said. - 15. - You said he scored his 16. - That was 16. - Yeah, 16, you're right. - We were juniors then. - Yeah. - That went too far deep into it. - He scored at 16 years old. - Yes. - At 16 years old as well. - We weren't even driving cars alone at that time. - It relaxed. - Sorry. - At 16 years old, he also. - Now I'm lost. - That's how I'm lost. - I'm sorry. - I'm sorry. - I'm sorry. - I'm sorry. - At 16 years old, he helps Spain win the Euros at Euro 20. I don't know what these tournaments are. - I have no idea. - That's too much. - At 16 years old, he helps Spain win Euro 2024 and became the youngest player to ever start at the tournament. - Again, another unbelievable fact. He's just knocking off these milestones and he's not even a legal person yet. - I just want to not like. Is it killing him, Bob A or Yamal? Where are you going? - What is. - Like, who's gonna be better all time? - Well, a Bob A is better now. - Yamal is gonna be better, I think. - Yeah. - We'll see. And then at 19 years old, Lamini Amal led his home. That was a horrible question. - Why? I feel like that was a good question. - At 19. - I didn't know who any of these people are. (laughing) - I know, and Bob A is the black dude, right? - Yeah, it's from friends. - Yeah, I don't know the other guy. - At 19 years old, Lamini Amal led his home country of Spain to a victory over the defending champions Argentina led by the greatest soccer player of all time, Lionel Messi. - Unbelievable. - Do you not think that that could be a movie? - It totally can. - Already. At 19 years old, his life could be a full movie. - Where's the Messi documentary? Like, where's the Ronaldo documentary? Why is there none like. - Out. - I'm sure there are documentaries, but they need to make one after the career's done. - Yeah. - But I feel like a biopic or something. - Yeah, you're gonna see a Messi movie in the next five to 10 years. - Thousand percent. - But I feel like the Lamini Amal movie should be already out at 19 years old, and Messi's 38 and needs one. - It can be, totally. - It can be. - Completely agree. - The Lamini Amal in a movie about himself. - Who's that guy from Harold and Kumar? No, not that guy. - Cool. - Who's that? - No. - Who am I thinking of? - I have no idea. You just said an Indian guy. Let me know all of us from Spain. - I know he is. - You just say Joe Pascal? I have no idea. - The 55-year-old Pedro Pascal. - I don't know any like Spanish people. - No, I'm gonna say Marcelo from SNL. - I got one. - I got that just hosted the. - Marcelo Hernandez. - I don't like that. - But he's too like thick. - What? - Yamal Skinny. - Yamal Skinny. - What's the reason? - What is the regular skinny guy? - No. I had a person in my mind. I forgot about him. Who's that? Oh, I got one. I got another spam call, by the way. - Nice. What's his name? Willow Smith? No, that's the girl. - Willow Smith is one of them. - No, Jaden Smith. - Jaden Smith. - Was. - Yeah. - It's a hit to play Yamini Amal. - I don't think he's acted since karate kit. - I liked him in the pursuit of happiness. - He was like six. (laughing) - I don't even think he was that open though. - He was great. - He was great. - That was my Yamini Amal topic. - No more soccer topics. - Okay. Can we move into other sports? - Yeah, we can move into other sports. - Be comfortable with that. - Yeah, we have a very sports oriented pod. I like it. - Yeah, I feel like we've kind of moved away from it, but like we're trying to bring it back a little. I don't know. - Is this a Legends podcast? - Yeah, why not? - Yeah, let's do it. - And while we're talking sports, you might as well talk about Legends. - Yeah, like we have to. - You have to. - Legends, Casino, and Sportsbook.

Lincoln Bial. - So we're sticking on sports. - We're sticking on sports. - A lot of Mount Rushmore conversation in our earlier podcast. So I kinda wanna bring up multiple in one video. - Okay, let's do it, yeah. - Who is on your Mount Rushmore of sports athletes in these cities? - Okay, talk to me. - This is since 2000. - Oh, so modern day. - New York. - Wow, okay, modern day. I'm gonna put Derek Jeter on the list. - Derek Jeter is completely 100% on the list. - Yo, I'm gonna speed through this. I gotta think real fast. I'm gonna put Jalen Brunson on there. - Jalen Brunson brought a championship to New York City for the New York Knicks. - I feel like you have to. - Has to be on, I'm gonna put Eli Manning on there. - Eli Manning, he's the one that I had too. - And then do I wanna throw a hockey player just to round out all four sports? - I don't know if you need to. I mean, they didn't win a championship since what, 94 of the Rangers? - Yeah, but Lungquist? - That's who I would put on it. - You could also put another Yankee? - I was thinking either a Yankee or, I was thinking either a Yankee or Lungquist. - Okay, there's no Mets. - That was what you're talking about. - Mike Piotta, but no. - Idiotic question that. - Okay, so I'm gonna go Lungquist, just, I would just wanna round out all four sports. - Okay, Mariana Rivera could have been on there. - Yeah, I'm gonna, I gotta show some loves to the Rangers. - All right, what about Los Angeles? - Since 2000. I feel like you have to put Johoy Otani on there. - Show Hay Otani, I completely agree. - I hate to say that. - The best athlete L.A. and probably baseball has seen since, probably ever. - Yeah, I mean, the only rival is like Aaron Judge currently, but he kind of outchines Aaron Judge because he could pitch. He could pitch. I'm gonna put Kobe Bryant on the list. - Kobe Bryant has to be on the list. I completely agree. - Do you consider shacking this? I'm gonna say no. - You're not gonna put shack because you know, he kind of bats around teams. I mean, he won the three championships with the Lakers. - Yeah, I mean, maybe. We'll come back to that. I would put Kobe over Shaq. So I'm gonna keep Kobe in it. We'll come back to Shaq. - I feel like it gets tough here. - Yeah, I mean, the LA Rams did win a Super Bowl. - So who are you gonna put there? - I'm between Matt Stafford and Aaron Donald. - Yeah. - I have Aaron Donald over Stafford. - I mean, Stafford is the quarterback. Usually you put the quarterback in, but I'll put Aaron Donald in there. - But he's like, like his career, at least in my eyes, is as a lion. - No. - What? - Like legacy-wise as a Ram, but like, I don't know. - His career was as a lion. - So you think if you were tired, he would go in, yes. - Like if he was a Hall of Famer. - He's a Ram. - Oh wow. - He won a Super Bowl as a Ram. - No, fair. - He won a Super Bowl. I'll put Aaron Donald in though, because Aaron Donald meant a ton to that team and stayed on the Rams the whole, his whole career. - I love that and you eat one more. Are you going another Dodger? - I'm not gonna go, I'm not gonna go hockey here. - Not gonna go hockey. - Am I gonna go another Dodger? - I'll put Shaq in there. - Okay. Who else would you put in there? - The only other one that I thought of was Clayton Kershaw. - Clayton Kershaw. - Just 'cause he's pitch for the Dodgers forever. - I think Shaq means more to LA than Clayton Kershaw means to LA. - I would agree. - What about the Bay Area? San Francisco, Oakland? - Yes, so Steph Curry. - Steph Curry? - Absolutely. Like I'm trying to think, do you go anybody on the A's? Do you go anybody on the Raiders? - I don't know. - I think you gotta go to the Giants if you're gonna go anyone. And there's one guarantee on here by me. - Okay. I'm gonna put my four athletes, I'm gonna rattle 'em off. - Okay. - Steph Curry. - Okay. Clay Thompson. - Clay Thompson. - Kevin Durant. - No. - And Dream on Green. - No. - You cannot put all four. - Lock it in. - That's my four. - You're gonna, that's my four. - Can we please, can I just say someone? - Sure. - Barry Bonds. What years did he play? - Like 96 to 07. - Okay. - Take Dream on Green now. - Yeah, okay. - You keep Barry Bonds in there, please. - No, you know what? Take Clay out. - Yeah. - Keep Dream on 'em. - Because Clay left. - Yeah, keep Dream on 'em. - I agree with that. - Yeah, I like that list. That's a tough one. What about Boston Brian? - Boston. - Okay. - A lot of good sports teams. - And again, this is since 2000, correct? Do you count the Patriots? - Yeah, you have to. - So Tom Brady's number one. - Yeah, everyone from Boston is a Patriots fan. So Tom Brady is on there. So Tom Brady's on there. I might, I think this might sound a little crazy, but I'm gonna put Jason Tatum on there. - Jason Tatum. - He brought a champion to that city. - Okay, but someone else passed 2000, Paul Pierce. KG, Ray Allen. - That's also in my head too. - You could pick two of 'em. - Yeah, I could. - And I'm not a hockey guy, so I don't really know. - You know, my head's only players. - I think the Bruins did win one, but it just doesn't stick out in my head. - Patrice Bergenon? Is that his name? - Is that a hockey player? - That's a hockey player. - I don't know who that is. - Okay. - And then baseball is the Red Sox. I hate the Red Sox. - You hate them, but you gotta respect it. They've won multiple championships. - Who would you put in from the Red Sox? David Ortiz? - Big Poppy, yeah. - All right, so big poppies in there. - Big Poppy, Tom Brady, Jason Tatum so far? - Take Tatum out. - Okay. - Take Tatum out. Big Poppy, I got excited for a second. - Okay. - I'm gonna put Tom Brady, big Poppy. - Okay. Kevin Garnett. - Kevin Garnett. - Big Poppy, Tom Brady, Kevin Garnett. - I feel like Paul Pierce is more of a significance. - No. - What? - I think KG is like a timber wolf to me. KG is, no, stop that. KG was the best player on that team. You're saying Paul Pierce was better than Kevin Garnett? - I mean, probably definitely now. - I think it's, I don't know. I would go Paul Pierce, personal. Kevin Garnett is in the top 20 players of all time. - Yeah, but that like towards the end of their careers, I think Paul Pierce was more of the guy for them. - I totally disagree. Kevin Garnett was the guy. We're going Kevin Garnett, Tom Brady, big Poppy, and I'm gonna go grunk. - Grunk. - He's the greatest side out of all time. - He means a ton for that city. - What about Philly? Philadelphia? - Yeah, I hate Philly. I hate Boston. - If it kind of picks states or cities that you don't like. - At least favorite cities. Since 2000, I think 2000 baller. - Yeah. - 2000 baller, you go AI? - Alan Iverson. - Alan Iverson has to be for me. I'm thinking, so Philadelphia, do you put a Bryce Harper in there? Ryan Howard? - I wouldn't put Ryan Howard. - I said Chase Utley, maybe? - Yeah. - But I kind of love Bryce Harper. - Yeah, I want to put Bryce Harper in there. - Yeah, why not? - People definitely love Bryce Harper. So Bryce Harper and who'd I say? - Alan Iverson. - Alan Iverson. And then I leaned into football. - Yeah. - They want a Super Bowl, two Super Balls. - Yep. - Put Nick Folls on there? - I'm putting Nick Folls on there. - Are you actually? - Yes. - Yes, let's ask. - He won the Super Bowl for them. Nick Folls is on there. - And then you know what? This one's just for a vibe. Also helped them win a championship, but he's like the most loved person in Philadelphia. - Who? - Jason Kelsey. - Jason Kelsey. - I like that. He means a tons of that city. And even after he retired, he's still riding Philly Hard. He's loved all over that city. - And the graphic I saw, they put Jason Kelsey in there. - Oh really? - Yeah, they did. - Over Jalen Hurts. - Jalen Hurts is a running back. - Yeah, but he won the Super Bowl too, right? - No. - Now Jason Kelsey, sake one Barclay won the Super Bowl. - Okay. - Come on. - And your last city is Dallas. - These are my three least favorite cities. - No, I know, I did that on purpose. I grouped them together. - Oh, I hate Dallas. - Yeah, but you got some great players. - So we have the Dallas Mavericks. We gotta go Dirk. - Dirk Novitz. - We have the Dallas stars. I don't know anybody on that team. - Me neither. - We have the Dallas Cowboys. - Cowboys. - I'm gonna put Tony Romo in there. - Tony Romo, are you leaving? - Or Tio. - Jason Witten too. Jason Witten's kind of like the career guy. - We're going Tony Romo. - Okay. - Jason Witten's the career guy over Tony Romo. - That's a crazy thing to say. - That's crazy. - I just think of Jason Witten as like the staple there. Like he was always like, Tony Romo? - Yeah, but Tony Romo was like, like short top five, quarterback for a few years in the league. But Jason Witten was consistently a top three tight-on. - Oh, I don't know. - Top five. - Yeah, top five. - Top 10. - Yeah, top 10. - He had Gronk and Tony O'Gates and Tony Gonzales. - Oh, that's true. - We played against him, good tight-on. - So we're gonna go Tony Romo and we're gonna go, we're gonna go Tony Romo and we're gonna go Dirk Novitzky. Baseball, the Dallas, they had Adrian Belltry was there. - I don't want Baseball. - Slyphly. - No, these guys just like these guys, I don't even think about these guys. - No, you don't. - So we're gonna go stick to Baseball, we're gonna stick to basketball and football. It was almost Luca. - Almost Luca, but you wanna count it 'cause you got traded. I almost feel like you have to. - He brought them to a championship. I'll put Luca in there. - I like that. And you need one more. You gotta go football, right? - Probably, yeah. - Do you go Dak? - Defensive player maybe? - Defensive player, like who? - Like DeMarcus Ware? - I'll go Jason Witten. - Jason Witten. - It's because I'm a tight-end. - He was the face of the franchise. - He was not the face of the franchise. - He was the reason why I wore half sleeves. - Oh really? - The forearm sleeves when I was a tight-end. - See, you wanted to be him. - I did not want to be. - No, I didn't dress up as Jason Witten. I just wore them because they looked cool. - I think you wore the same number. I feel like it's pretty good there. - I feel like we're doing a sports podcast. - We are? - You want to talk about Pablo Escobar? - Yeah, yeah. - Let's go for it. - All right. - I have no more sports topics either. - Okay, good. I have this crazy topic about Pablo Escobar. - Okay. - Here's six things Pablo Escobar owns that sound made up. - Hold on. - Are you good over there? - Yeah, I just posted. - Everything's okay. - Yeah, okay, just make a joke. He owned these things. - Yes. - The first thing is a private zoo with 200 exotic animals. That would be the number one tourist destination in Colombia. - Do you want to know what he did? - What? - He smuggled elephants, giraffes, rhinos, and hippos into Colombia on his drug plans. - Okay, I thought you were gonna say he used the animals to smuggle in drugs. - No. The hippos escaped and over 100 hippos still roam Colombia. - No, he didn't bring him on. - You can't bring him on a plane. - Apparently he did that. - You put him on like a cargo plane. - I'm thinking of like a rinky dink. It's Pablo Escobar. - No, no. - Over 100 hippos still roam Colombia. And apparently it's a real problem. - A problem? - Like they are vicious hippos. - So can you confirm on this? Is he from Medellin? - I think he is. - So that was Medellin. - Medellin. - I hear different things from Medellin. - Medellin. - Medellin? - 'Cause there's a hill there where you could go visit his mansion. - Yeah. - His man, he has like a thousand mansions. - Yeah, I'm sure. - But Medellin was one of them. - He was born in real renegro Colombia. - All right. - No, I'm a renegro. - Reonegro. - Couldn't pick that one out. - See, that's how I feel like when I laugh at you. - Yeah, that's fair. - That's fair. - I got someone else to pick on now. - Oh, the city of Medellin. - Medellin. - Medellin. - He's not back. - It's not back. - I don't know. - With them five minutes, we just have three and three different pronunciations on it. - Okay, so we had a private zoo. Awesome. He had a personal prison built to his specifications. - And what were those? - Okay. So the only reason that he surrendered, and so the only reason that he surrendered in 1991 to the Colombian government is if they let him build his own prison. - So he built the prison that he got in prison? - Correct, it's called Locatidro. He had a sauna, a nightclub, a waterfall, a soccer field, and a jacuzzi. - It's not a prison. - No. - This sounds like Norway. - It does sound like Norway. - So he built his own prison and he basically living in luxury while in prison. - I guess if you can't leave, you might as well make it nice. - He had two drugs muggling submarines. - That's kind of cool. - Who owns a submarine? - No, I don't think submarines exist. Have you ever seen one? - I have seen one. - Okay, then they exist. - In a, is it a museum? - Pearl Harbor? - Pearl Harbor. - We saw one? - You went to Pearl Harbor? - It's been there. - Oh, yeah. It's actually really cool. - No, it's not cool. It's very cool to see. - It's not cool. - It's like historic. - It's just boring. - I thought it was pretty interesting. I want to get out a little bored. So he actually owned three actual submarines designed to smuggle drugs from Columbia to the USA. They cost him millions of dollars, but they avoided every single Coast Guard. - Okay. - There's no one was thinking about doing that because no one has submarines. - No one has submarines, you're right. - He owned a 7,000 acre estate with a dinosaur park. - I believe that's the one in Medellin. - Probably is. - A dinosaur park? - So it was called Haseyenda Napolise. It cost him about $63 million, and it included a private air strip, a boring, a lake, and a life-sized dinosaur statues made from prehistoric bones. - When you set Dino Park, I thought there was like a slide designed as a dinosaur. You meant like he has replications of dinosaurs in his park. - Correct. - That's awesome. - Yeah, that's ridiculous. - From their actual prehistoric bones. - To be Pablo Escobar. - He owned an entire Caribbean island. - I'm not supporting Pablo because he's a tyral person. - So he bought an island called Norman's K in the Bahamas for drugs muggling, which had its own air strip, refrigerated warehouse, attack dogs, and personal radar system, like Call of Duty. - How do you get into this as like a career? - You start doing drugs. - And how do you become that guy? - Start selling drugs. - I guess you watch Narcos. - Let me figure out how he did it. - Okay. And the last thing he owned was 142 planes and 30 helicopters. 'Cause what, like three wasn't enough? So the authorities seized 142 of his planes, 30 helicopters, 32 yachts, and 141 properties from him in the late 1980s. He had his own private air force bigger than most countries. Am I crazy to say I feel like some people look up to him? - I, oh, yeah. - Well, I feel crazy saying it, but like-- - He just want to be rich. - Yeah, he's living the rich lifestyle and has the cool things that people want. I'm not saying you want to be him, but you kind of admire that he went all out. - He has aura. - Yeah, there you go, aura. - If all of his money was legal money, I think he would be the richest person on the planet. And he'd probably be the coolest. He's got a dinosaur part. - You're saying drugs are cool? - No, that's not what I'm saying. You just said if you didn't have drugs. - Whatever. And then I just have one more fact. He had a burning money problem. You know what that means? - Yeah. - What, he used to, so one fact when he was cooped up, like escaping the cops with his family, he spent $1,000 a month just on rubber bands to wrap his cash. He once burned $2 million as a fire to keep his daughter warm at night. - Oh yeah, 'cause you don't need the money. - He doesn't need $2 million, I mean, just go. - He was literally cooped up because he was running from the cops with his family and he burned $2 million. - Did he just die in prison? I assume so, maybe he's still alive. - I don't think Pablo Escobar is still alive. - No, I think he's dead. - He died. - He died. - In prison? He was tracked to a hideout. - No, it's in Narcos, he dies. - I haven't seen the show. - I think they shoot him. - That's what I was wondering. I was like, how did someone like that not at one point get turned on? And he did all this before they had a 44. He died at 44. - Really? - That's like almost your age. - He would have still been alive. - That's not true. - I mean, that was me. - Well yeah, he obviously would have still been alive. He was, he was 44 in 1933, so what does that mean? He would have been like 70 something. - I'm sorry. - I'm sorry. - Oh, it's like cheese. - He would have been like 70 something. - Yeah, maybe 80. - He would have been a fun hang. - I don't say that. - Zach loves to run. - Zach loves. - I want to go see his dinosaur park. - Exactly. - Okay. I have fantastic news. - I also think that he has money hidden all over Columbia. - Probably. - There's a big thing in Columbia. - So I'm 25% Colombian. My family members all think that they're entitled to a bunch of cash because there's a treasure or oil, like a treasure of oil. - Probably Pablo Escobar's. - That's what I'm saying. You're not wrong. - But they think the Mejia estate deserves it. - That's the X last name. - Yeah. - My mom's made a name. - Yeah, my mom's made a name. - Cool. - And they fight over it. - Well, once they pay it, do I mind? - He also lost millions of dollars 'cause if you don't store money properly, it gets moldy in the climate. So I'm pretty sure a lot of his money just got mold and ruined. - There are rains a lot there. - Millions on millions. - That's crazy. - It's tough to look for Pablo. - I have fantastic news. - Who's the better Pablo? Pablo Escobar or Pablo Sanchez? - Or Pablo from the back yard again. - Yeah. - Or Pablo from the back yard. - Is that the penguin? - The penguin. - The penguin going on a trip. - My favorite rocket ship. - Me xploring. - Zooming through the sky. - That's little line sides. - No, that's the little line sides. - That's a different show. - Damn. - Move on. - Okay, what is it? - I'm very excited about it because it allows me to do what I like to do best. - Okay, so same day. So I'm talking about loud. - A new study says, "Five cups of coffee is good for you." - I just don't believe that. - So the American Heart Association. I don't know other associations. That one sounds pretty legitimate, okay? It says that drinking up to five cups a day can lower the risk of stroke, heart failure, and type two diabetes. - So are we just gonna be ripping coffees now? - I've always felt bad. The fact that I'm drinking so much coffee, but if it's good for me and I'm lowering my risk, I feel like it's solid. But this can't mean like vanilla lattes, like all that stuff. - No. - Obviously it matters what you put in it. - Yeah. - But three to five eight ounce cups can lower these risk. - Eight ounces not that much. - No, like people go to like Wawa, they get like a 16, 24 ounce coffee. - They're lunatics. - It's more like two coffees that you drink. - Well, I guess that's fair. 'Cause you drink 16 ounce coffees now. - Yeah, yeah. - So it's like two and a half. - Well, from Wawa, yes. - It's two and a half coffees for you. - I'm back in on coffee. - You don't need five coffees a day though. - I feel like if it's healthy for you, then it's good. It's basically a superpower. - It's telling me, it's healthy for me. - It's a superpower. - And the kryptonite is the bathroom. That was my punchline. You know what I get? - Sure. Didn't really make tons of sense, but. - No, you ever drink coffee and have to. - Yeah, but do you know what kryptonite is? It like hurts you? - Yeah, but like, it's like your weakness? - Yeah, but that's not like a weakness. That's like an outcome. - Oh. - Like the kryptonite would be like something that, like going to the bathroom would be like your death, like your downfall. - Yeah. - Well, it kinda is, okay, but it is a downfall. So it's not kry, whatever. - The kryptonite is what causes the downfall. - I get it. - Yes. - That makes sense. - So coffee, the kryptonite is the kryptonite. - Zero sense. - That's fine. I'm back in on it. I feel like I could drink coffee all the time and feel healthy again. - No one was stopping you before. - And the fact that it's three to five cups like makes me feel better that I could go within a range, but more doesn't necessarily mean better. - Why does it just do whatever you want? You have free will. Who cares if they say it's healthier on healthy? - You also go out and drink 12 Guinness. That's not healthy for you. - That's not. - Well Guinness is good for you. - No, it's not. - One a day keeps the doctor away. - If you have 12 in one day. - No, yeah. - 12 is not good. - Also fast food or that bacon egg and cheese that you got on everything bagel this morning is probably way more unhealthy than a cup of coffee. - I go through this really bad cycle. - You have a full Italian sub for lunch every day. - Yeah. - Do you think coffee's unhealthy for you? You're eating subs for lunch. - Can I defend myself a little? - No, I can't. - 12 is not that bad for you. - Am I, can I go? - Yes. - I think I go through a cycle where I drink a lot over a period of time. - That's healthy? - No, no, no, just period. Alcohol. We're talking alcohol. - Okay. - And then I feel fat. And then I go, I have to start working out. I go through this like, this is the emotion we're talking about. I'm so emotional. - I know, you're way too emotional. - But then I, but then I recover. I go to the gym a few times. I feel good again for like a week. And then the cycle restarts. - So chill out. So you know what's gonna happen. - But so don't get stressed about it. - I'm identifying the moment now. - Yeah, so don't get it. - Don't get stressed about it. - Not stressed at all. - Just live in the moment. - I did feel fat this morning now. - That's all right. How much do you weigh? - 205. - Did you go on the scale today? - I did. - No, that was today. - Oh, yeah, yeah. - 205. - That's what we're talking about. - It's good. I just feel like it's more fat than muscle. - Probably. - This fear belly and tummy comes out. - It's tough to do it when you're away every weekend. - It's embarrassing. I was in Tahoe. I had to take my shirt off for the boy. - I thought I looked good. - No, no, no, no. - Better. - How do you look? - No, you were fine. - Yeah, I looked fine there. But if I did it this week, thank God we're going to Scotland. I also think that you're a little being a little self-conscious. - Yeah, totally. - Yeah, I think we're fine. - But I think if I go back to the gym three times, I think my body transforms and we're good again. - Okay. - So do that. I'm going to. Fine. Next topic. - Do you want a little riddle? - Yeah, I think and I believe this is our last topic. - I bet I can get you to say the word no. - I disagree. (laughing) - Okay, ready? - Yes. - You're walking down the street and you see an old lady. - Okay. - She's struggling with her bags. - Okay. - She says, "Please don't help me. I'm all good. Do you help her?" Yes or no? - Of course. - You're going to help her. Even if she said no. - Yeah. - Okay. You open the door and let the old lady in and shut the door. - Okay. - Okay. - She says, "I'm really sorry, but can you take me to the store?" Do you say yes or no? - Yes. - You're going to take her to the store. - Yeah. - Why not? - Of course. - She's just the nicest guy of all time. She hops in the car and she starts being a little racist. - Okay. - She's saying things that you don't agree with. - Okay. - Do you scold her for it? Yes or no? Yes, so you're going to scold the old guy. - Oh, lady. - I think so. - Okay, okay. - What is her car color? Blue, red, or green? - You didn't ask me that. - Well, I'm just asking you that. What is her car color? Blue, red, or green? - But you didn't mention that. - But if you had to guess, what would her car color be? - Probably blue. - You've done this before. - I haven't. - Damn it. (laughing) - Damn it, no, do you want me to say no? - Yeah, say no for the bit, just to make it funny. So we can cut it for sure for it. But then the podcast, people will know. - People know what people know. - All right, ready? - You've done this before, haven't you? - No. - Got 'em. - Probably. - Got 'em! Got 'em! (groaning) - Idiot! - Boldity. - That's a boldity. - You took that off too. - I know I did. - I got you to say no. - I don't like you sometimes. - And now back to the-- - Back to the original-- - Did you like that acting? - Yeah, acting. - I think my acting was that. - And people are never gonna know. - I, our new show, that's gonna come out. - I just feel like my acting's not there. I don't think we're not actors, someone told me, and they said to me, in the car yesterday, from golf. They go, "You ever think about getting into acting?" - Oh, God. - I go, "Absolutely not." Try to act something out right now. What do you want me to do? - Your dog just died. You're, you're burying it for the last time. - The last time? - The first time, and the last time. You're burying. His name is spot, spot. I was gonna say Klumbo. - Or Klumbo? - Klumbo works too, yeah. He's got brutally slaughtered. Am I making a speech at the funeral? - Yes. Klumbo. I'm gonna miss you. (laughing) - That's all I got. - I was gonna laugh, so I just handed it. - The mic didn't take off that far? - No, no, I didn't, that'd be far. - But other than that, we have our member shout outs. - What, sorry, if we missed in the last podcast, the member shout outs. - If you didn't know, we have a membership program. You can go to our YouTube channel and click "Memberships" and join our membership program for a shout out from one of us at the end of every single long form podcast. - It's the best thing ever. - It is the best thing ever. - We had some members rejoined, so we're back. - Yay. - We're so back. - We're miss so back.
