01:19employee's cottage. We should do that in other venues. You can hang out at Mintz's apartment.
01:25Yeah. What would you do at Mintz's apartment? Stand? Get tanseled? Stand? Look at corners?
01:33I don't think he has furniture. I think he has his dirty clothes pile acting as his mainstay.
01:39And it's still growing. You think he sits in it? Yes. Is his TV off the ground? I think he
01:46looks at a reflection of a TV next door. I don't think he has a home base here. It's just a roof.
01:55I think this is it. Yeah. I think he subsists mainly on the upper level of the Barstool gym.
02:02So, the Olympics started this weekend. Yeah, sure did. The Olympics, the number one story coming out
02:07of the first night of the Olympics was the opening ceremony. Yeah, the disgusting bitch. Which was
02:12absolutely... It was, you know, a lot of pomp, a lot of circumstance. A lot of pomp. A lot of body weight.
02:18Yeah. It was a well-rounded cast. It really was. Was there a testicle in there? There was a
02:25balls that snuck into it. There was balls? There was a blue guy? A blue guy in a diaper maybe?
02:31Yeah. Was he earth? I don't know why he was blue. He was blue. I don't know.
02:38Religious people got very, very upset. Yeah. Because they mocked the... They appeared to mock
02:42the Last Supper of Christ. They wanted to be upset about anything? That's fine. I still don't
02:49understand what they were going for. Because if you go online, people say, they weren't mocking
02:52Christ, you idiots. They were recreating a third century play based on... Learn history. Like, no.
02:58Just don't get mad over it. It was goofy. Yeah. And, I mean, if you don't want gay in the Olympics,
03:03there's diving. So, I mean, it's going to be gay no matter where or what the ceremony is.
03:10Rugby maybe? Is that the straightest sport? Rugby is the straightest sport. Yeah. That's
03:16as straight as it gets. I don't know. Women's rugby. Women's rugby. Oh, the contraire.
03:21We should have just stopped doing opening ceremonies after 08. I feel like the Chinese,
03:25they perfected it. That was horrifying a little bit. I want to be scared of the country
03:32after the ceremony. Yes. The French just continued to be a laughing stock. They did.
03:37They said, we're weird. Here's some weird shit. Yep. They also did it on boats.
03:41They brought them in on boats. Yeah. It was like pouring down rain. I like the people walking.
03:45Yeah. I like them walking around the track. Same. I don't really like the boats. I'm not going to
03:50lie. I didn't watch it at all. You didn't watch any of the ceremony? I didn't watch a second of
03:54the ceremony. So, everybody who's getting mad probably didn't watch it either. Yeah. They're
03:59just mad at what they see online, which is fine, I guess. You can get mad at whatever you want to
04:03get mad at. But I didn't watch a second of the opening ceremony. No, I do watch the Olympics.
04:06I like the Olympics. Yeah. The opening ceremonies, though, they're not a thing anymore.
04:11It's not a moment. I think that is like a monoculture thing has come and gone.
04:19If you were French, would you be embarrassed? Oh, I think they're all about it. The French are?
04:24I think they're all about just weirdness and sex. Yeah. See how weird you guys are. I don't
04:29know. When the Olympics are in LA in four years, if our opening ceremony is so gay,
04:34if they're goofy as hell, all of us in America are just going to shit on LA.
04:39We're not just LA. We're not going to be like, damn, I'm embarrassed to be an American. You're
04:42going to be like, what the fuck do you have in LA? Blake Travis is already pissed about the
04:462028 opening ceremony. Yeah. There better not be a gay in sight for Blake. Yeah. I think I'm already
04:52upset about it. In the Olympics, we've had we've had several events go on. And I'm going to go and
04:59tell you, John Rich sent me the topics, and I just don't think he sent me enough topics.
05:03What did he send you? What did he send you? So basketball. Kevin Durant was was brilliant. He
05:06had eight of nine shooting, 23 points hit every three. Team USA won by 26 over Serbia. There were
05:13some slow start. They were down 10 to 2. Joe Allenby was a bum. I guess the biggest stories
05:18coming out were number one, Kevin Durant was incredible. Right. And number two, Jason Tatum
05:23didn't play at all. Didn't play at all. Not one second. Didn't even get the pity. No. Didn't even
05:27get the. When they're up 26 with two minutes left, he didn't say empty the bench. Did you
05:31see what Kerr said about it? What did he say? He was just like, yeah, I'm an idiot. Yeah. Okay. You
05:35had, you could have done something about it. I'm so stupid. Damn, I did it again. I forgot to play
05:42the first team. All NBA guys just won the NBA championship. That's crazy. Yeah. It was weird
05:48though. Cause him and Halliburton didn't play and we won by 26 as an Olympic team. Like nobody's out
05:53there. You can play all 12 guys. You don't have to have a 10 man rotation. Right. But also, I mean,
05:57I do, I do like it only in the sense that like, I don't think there's, I don't think you have to
06:03play all 12 guys. I think like if you're trying to send the message that like, fuck it, this isn't a
06:07participation trophy type deal. Like we're trying to win these games, but to your point, Brandon,
06:11we're up at 26 points. The game was over. You could have, what a risk to put in Jason.
06:18Would you rather have played two minutes at the end or not played at all?
06:21Not played at all. I probably would have rather not played at all. I just love it because we won
06:25easily. You know, you had Kevin Durant, you had all these guys playing well, but now every piece
06:29of shit Boston fan we have in this company is pissed because Jason Tatum didn't play. And that
06:33delights me. I don't know if they realize this, when they find out they'll be so excited. There
06:36was a Boston Celtic that started in the game. Drew Holliday plays for the Celtics. I don't think
06:40they noticed. Derek White played big minutes. I don't think they noticed that either. Boston
06:45fans will notice White. More Team USA. So Jason Tatum, you got Team USA playing. Victor Wiminyama
06:53was a freak. I don't know if you saw some of his highlights. He did some freaky things. Joe
06:56Ellenbead is a bomb. Is that a, yeah, Joe Ellenbead is a bomb. Is that like the doomsday scenario for
07:02us is we lose to France in basketball? Like what's the, how does this Olympics for America go wrong?
07:09Losing. Losing men's basketball to Victor Wiminyama. Losing the gold medal count, right,
07:13would be, I don't think we're doing great in gold medals yet. We're leading in overall medals,
07:17but we only have three gold medals. Overall medals is kind of a cop out. Is it? I think
07:21we use that as a crush. We beat the fuck out of Russia though. Yeah. They got nothing. China's
07:25a problem though. Russia has zero. Zero medals? Zero. Are they in Russia this time? They're
07:31usually, what were they last time? They were something different? Yeah, I don't think they're
07:34in the Olympics, that's what it is. No, okay, they have zero. Oh, they're not in the Olympics
07:36at all. I don't think they're in the Olympics. Well, that's, he didn't. Come here. He didn't
07:40walk through the camera. Did you guys do this? You're wearing a Garfield shirt and you have
07:43him dressed up as Garfield. No, I don't. I did not. I had nothing to do with this. Walk, walk
07:47over here. You're wearing a Garfield shirt. I just wore it. It's Monday. I wear it on Mondays
07:51often and I had, Ibo did this. Ibo, hello Blutman. Would you be friends with Garfield in real life?
07:59I think so. I think we're similar. Although is he friends with anybody? I don't know.
08:02Is he even friends with Odie? I, a lot of my friends have Odied, so I don't, I would, I think
08:08I would be more comfortable around that. I don't know if I'd be tight with Garfield.
08:16Keep that on all week. You should wear that all week and you should, you should get progressively
08:21happier as the week goes on. Do we have a camera? Well, no, so here's the debate. Is he on camera
08:25right now? I don't know. Garfield, John Rich wrote that. What would be Garfield's favorite day?
08:30Um, many would say Saturday. I think it is Saturday. It's gotta be Saturday. Why wouldn't
08:35it be Saturday? He likes being lazy all day. I think he likes the furthest day from Monday.
08:39Thursday or Friday. Thursday is the furthest from Monday, right? Well, once three days after and
08:45four days ahead, once four days after and three days ahead. Yeah. Right. So Friday, Friday is four
08:51days after. What would Garfield's favorite day be? I think he, I think it's Saturday. It's Tuesday.
08:57Why would it be Tuesday? Cause Monday's over. Monday's over and now you have almost a full
09:01week until next Monday. I think he's been quoted as saying Tuesday's awesome. Is there a national
09:05lasagna day? What if that fell on a Monday? I feel like Garfield's just like us and he, he,
09:10he hates Monday. Tuesday he doesn't like. Wednesday's getting okay. Thursday's a little
09:14fun. Friday's the best. Look at this. National lasagna day is on a Monday. How funny.
09:20Huh? Imagine, imagine how perplexed Garfield would be. July 29th. That's today. Today's
09:27national lasagna day. What the fuck? Today is national lasagna day. That's why you're wearing
09:32it. No, that's just coincidence. Holy shit. Today can't be national lasagna day.
09:40So look at that. Imagine how perplexed Garfield would be. This is national lasagna day? Yeah.
09:45Why don't we leave with that? I didn't know. I just looked up when national lasagna day was.
09:50You have to go get lasagna. You have to, you have to go right now.
09:54Go get lasagna. Wait, what are the fucking odds of that? I don't know. That's crazy.
09:59Does Ibo know? Ibo just got him, bought it. Ibo said he drunkenly bought him a Garfield
10:03costume. There's no way, but that Garfield costume looks very used. It really does.
10:09It doesn't look new. What are the, that's crazy odds. That's crazy. That's crazy. Well,
10:14happy national lasagna day. Are you guys fucking with me? Is that the right color of Garfield,
10:17by the way? I feel like he's more orange. He's yellow. Yeah. Look at that. I guess there's
10:22reference. Yeah. It's right here. No, I wear this on Mondays often. And I guess Ibo and saluted that
10:29bought him a Garfield costume. Yeah. There's a U S soccer, Canada, women's soccer controversy.
10:34USA men's soccer beat New Zealand. Women's soccer started out two and O trying to redeem themselves
10:39after upset loss last Olympics to Canada. This year, Canada's women's soccer team has been busted
10:44for spying on opposing practices drones. Yeah. Canada, Canada drones. Uh, who's the star of the
10:52Olympic so far for you? Because I got one. Her name is Alona Mar. Do you know who that is? No,
10:56she's big on Tik TOK and she's the rugby player. Who's stiff arms, but she on Tik TOK. She's,
11:03she's very good, but it's gotta be Simone still Simone after the scare with the warmups. What
11:09about the guy who dove into the pool to get the swim cap, Bob, the cap getter. Right. I had him
11:13next. I didn't see him. Here's Bob. The cap catch. Is that a good name for a guy that jumps in a
11:17pool or a guy who retrieves swimmers caps from the bottom of the pool when they fall off their
11:21heads? Is that his actual name? Also unnecessarily in a speedo. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He could. He's,
11:27I don't know if you've seen Bob the cap catcher, but all he does is when the swimmers vacate,
11:31he dives in, goes to the bottom, gets it. And he's in a skimpy pink speedo. Yeah. Pink. I,
11:36let me see if there's a Google image of Bob the cap. Yeah. It's unnecessarily tight. Um,
11:41but is he European? Cause I think that's the default uniform of the European.
11:46And is it pink? Because are there no country flags that have pink?
11:49So this, this Bob, the cap catcher right there, get him off. There's no reason.
11:55What's the speedo doing for him? He can wear shorts, but it's, I also feel like if you lose
12:00your cap, you are one of the greatest swimmers on planet earth. You should just have to jump
12:05back in and go get your cap. You're a good swimmer. Go get it.
12:13Oh, look how deep that is. Um, there's some controversy with the pool. What's going on
12:18with the pool. So France, this is a shallower pool than normal. Oh, it's meaning it's a slow pool
12:24because the deeper the water, the less resistance you're going to have at the top. It's I had no
12:28idea that science is crazy. So, so, so we think cause America traditionally does well in the
12:34deeper pool. We think France went to a shallower pool to fuck with us. And they did. They did. I
12:38know that. You didn't even know that existed. It doesn't matter. Their swimmer is fantastic. Yeah.
12:46He won the four, 400 meter individual medley. Yes. Yeah. It sounds delicious. A 400 meter medley.
12:55I'll take the medley. What's your, what's your follow up with something here? No, got nothing.
12:59Okay. All right. Uh, let's see. Chase Budinger is in the beach volleyball games in the Olympics.
13:05So you got a former France this morning. Yeah. Snoop dog is fucking everywhere. Yeah. Like
13:11did you see him with Caleb Dressel's wife? He's like, fuck her. Did you see Caleb Dressel's wife
13:15is the question I'm asking. She beautiful. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Like tip wise tube top tube top.
13:23And it was, it was hanging on for dear life. Snoop dog would be Shaq. If Shaq weren't Shaq,
13:29he, he endorses everything. It's just everywhere. Our Snoop dog and Shaq basically the same thing.
13:35Yeah. They kind of are. Yeah. If it weren't for Shaq doing all the Snoop dog is waiting in the
13:41wings. It's weird. Cause I bet Snoop dog wanted to be a basketball player and Shaq wanted to be
13:49a rapper and he wasn't very good at it. They're both testing the limits of how much we, we love
13:53them. They're both just, I don't think there are limits though. Yeah, I know. That's what I'm
13:56saying. They're both, they're both like, if boy, it feels like it feels like these white folk love
14:00us. Like, is there any amount of like endorsements that'll turn? But like Snoop dog has admittedly
14:07killed man. And now he's doing stuff with Martha Stewart. There's nothing that there's nothing that
14:12warms the heart like that. Yeah. Now he's hanging out at swimming in the Olympics. Yeah. It looks
14:17like he's having the time of his life. Flava Flavs there, uh, support the water polo. Women's
14:21water polo. Does he pay? I think so. He supports them financially. Yeah. Which the men's water
14:27polo has got to be like, what the fuck? Cause I don't think he supports them. He only supports
14:30the women. Yeah. So he likes water polo pussy. He likes water polo. Yeah. We should support
14:37water men though men or pick another. What would be the cheapest sport for us to support? Synchronized
14:42swimming. They don't need any equipment. But that's like two. That's just them. That's pool
14:46time, dude. That's a lot of pool time. Um, cheapest sport, break dancing. You just give
14:51them a cardboard box, sir. Yeah. But the music's too loud. Uh, surfing to surf by like a board.
14:57That's pretty expensive. You got to have them live by the ocean. Cause they're surfing's
15:02competing in Tahiti. That's true. Yeah. Why is Tommy facetiming me? I don't know. Probably get,
15:06get that. I'll get it later. Um, cheapest sport that we can. Yeah. How do we, how do we get at
15:14the Olympic skateboarding? How do we get all the praise for supporting this? Correct. Yes. And
15:21financing it. We don't have to do that. Huh? I don't know. When you do it out of your pocket
15:28has to be, it has to be expensive, right? Yeah. It feels like it wouldn't be expensive. It's
15:32primitive of a weapon as you have, but then if all the fancy as hell though, modern bow and arrow is
15:38fancy. Yeah. If all the Olympic sports fought each other and death combat, hunger game style,
15:42would archery win? Yeah. If you're allowed to use the equipment, um, judo,
15:50hollow bread. I mean, equestrian, it's going to be tough to take down. Yeah. Yeah. Cause I don't
15:56know if those arrows don't have the really sharp points on them. Right. So I don't know if you're
15:59taking down, although the fencing could probably handle the horses. No, I think those things,
16:06I think the equestrians got a good chance of survival here. Wrestling. I mean, you just don't,
16:10I mean, javelin javelin. Oh my God. Just launching. That'd be a good fucking movie.
16:15A death match of, of Olympians. Like this is the last Olympics ever. You guys are all trapped here.
16:20You're seeing what this board is. Did they used to do the Olympics naked or is that just like a
16:24myth? We've all accepted that. Like the ancient Olympics used to just be guys hanging dong and
16:28think we assume they all, they did everything. I think, I think naked was just common. That was
16:32just how it was. Yeah. Cause that's how far back in history do you have to go where everything is
16:38performed fully clothed? Is that like 2000 years? That's still not happening. Yeah. Like
16:44well, sex not withstanding. Uh, yeah, I don't know. That's a really good question. Like the
16:51agents or something. It's a really good fucking question, man. Uh, that's a real head. All right.
16:58All right. You made your point. Uh, so we have, uh, the Marvel cinematic universe now you're
17:05nerdom. I'm not in on Marvel. The last Marvel movie I watched was the, when fucking, um, um,
17:13the, the, that I don't know. Yeah. It was the movie called end game, which was, I thought,
17:19no, I thought, I thought, yeah, probably end game. What was infinity war? Infinity war was
17:24setting up the one right before that. Yeah. Okay. I, yeah, that was the last time I watched a movie
17:28called end game and I was like, Oh, the game's over. This is it done. So I didn't need to watch
17:31anymore. And then like six months later, they're like, it's just begun. Well, spoiler alert at the
17:35end of end game, Tony Stark played by Robert Downey jr. Dice. That's right. That's what happens. And
17:40this was 10 years ago. Right? So you've had time to watch it now. They're going to the next phase.
17:45And on Saturday night they announced it at comic con. I believe it was comic con in San Diego.
17:50They've got a new guy. Some of the play dr doom. They had the big reveal. It's Robert Downey jr.
17:55What? So, I mean, comic books, deaths don't matter in the actual books, right? They're always
18:01turning somebody else. Do they? Uh, well, I think he's still going to be a, like a Tony Stark
18:07universe, but still like, isn't that lazy writing just to go to another universe and
18:12pluck, pluck another, that's what's happening in every one of these movies. Now it's it's,
18:15there's too many of them. They suck. I haven't seen one since that, whatever that end one was
18:22a Marvel. I think the last one I've watched all the guardians of the galaxies,
18:26but I haven't watched any of the other like Marvel's. I never saw
18:29you. I didn't watch. She Hulk attorney at law. I didn't watch. She Hulk attorney at law
18:34does sound like something I'd be. What is, what is Dr. Doom's thing? Dr. Doom is like
18:38the strongest bad guy. But what about Thanos? Wasn't he? Thanos was the strongest. Dr. Doom
18:42kills Thanos in the comics. Easily. Easily. Dr. Doom, I think is these the bad. Well,
18:47where has he been the whole time? I guess it's been too hard. The fantastic four movies have
18:51always flopped. If Thanos has been fucking around the whole universe, why didn't Dr. Doom at some
18:56point speak up and say, Hey, stop Thanos. Or like I do have this issue with Marvel too. It's like
19:00the bad guy, if the bad guys just got together, right. They come at us one at a time. They always
19:05come one at a time. And if they just like talk to each other and compare notes, they would fuck us
19:08up. So bad guys, they don't work. They're stupid. Yeah. They're stupid. Bad guys always have
19:13underlings and whatnot. Yeah. The silver surfer is an under like that. There was a fantastic four.
19:18That's another, they can't get together. And, and, and I don't know. Yeah, they should be. But
19:23Robert Downey jr. Is back in the Marvel universe playing a different character that seems to kind
19:28of, uh, destroy. Is that Goochman trying to get a tent? Goochman come explain Tony Stark.
19:37Dr. Doom. Did you see him like just walk around the corner?
19:40I think he dropped something on the floor. So we looked up. Yeah.
19:45All right. Now he's taking his pick up the pace. I wasn't going to, but since you asked,
19:55is this good or bad? What's happening to Robert Downey jr. Uh, it's great for Robert Downey
20:02jr. He's probably making like a hundred million dollars to come up with a question. We asked,
20:06is this good for the Marvel cinematic universe? No, no. You're, are you in a retreat? It's like,
20:11it's like, uh, when a college football program goes like from like pretty good top 15 every year.
20:17And then they kind of start falling on their faces after coach leaves that coach sucks at
20:22their new program. And then they just bring that coach back. It's like when Louisville brought back
20:26Bobby Petrino. Yeah. That's what it's like. They're like looking for the glory days again,
20:31but it's probably not going to work. Okay. All right. So the resolution for this,
20:35is he going to turn back into Ironman? I have no idea. They could either do,
20:40he's going to be Dr. Doom who becomes like an evil Ironman or a Tony Stark who becomes an evil
20:45Dr. Doom. But in that moment, were you excited when he revealed his face? Uh, I would just,
20:50I would just kind of like, what the fuck did he look happy to be there?
20:55I don't know. He's had so much work. I'll be honest. His face looks very strange right now
21:00to me. Okay. All right. There we go. Uh, and lastly, yeah, that, that, I mean, I don't care.
21:08That's my final. Yeah. He just won an Oscar and now he's getting back into the, the MCU stuff.
21:13They should have the bad guys win some of the, that would, that would help. I think that happened
21:17in the infinity war though. And then they had, and then they fucking undid the whole thing.
21:22Two astronauts, Anita Williams and Butch Wilmore plan to visit the international space station for
21:26eight days. They've been there, uh, for 54 days now with no, and it's indefinite. So there's two
21:31astronauts stuck in the international stuck in it. Yeah. Why are they stuck? Um, cause we,
21:36we don't know how to get them due to thruster failures and helium links. The astronauts have
21:40been stuck in the starliner for 54 days with no immediate end in sight. That's a movie too, right?
21:45Are they safe? Like, is there enough oxygen in that thing? Or is there food I'd imagine,
21:50or else this would probably be more, do they have a peacock subscription to watch the Olympics? I'd
21:54hope so. I would think so. Uh, the work is being done to fix the starliners being done remotely
21:58with no engineer sent to space to work on the actual craft with no plan in place to get the
22:02astronauts home. NASA is considering Elon Musk's space X to go get them. Elon would never shut up
22:07about that. No, he wouldn't. But that kind of something that you shouldn't shut up about. Like
22:11if you had to bail NASA astronauts out with your own space shuttle. Yeah. Didn't Elon help save
22:16like a trapped minor and then call him a pedophile immediately after he tried. And then another guy,
22:22how can a minor be a pedophile? That's the thing. That's the thing. All right.
22:27That's the rundown. Oh, come on. Give me an after show. Kirk Minahan show. Lost producer. Coleman.
22:33He's gone. And all he did was leave a handicapped man on a bar stool for two hours. Yeah. Yeah.
22:41Well, let he who has not done that cast. Honestly, like if I had a nickel every time
22:47I left a small handicapped man. All right.
