00:00All right, rundown, August 7th, any birthdays jump out?
00:08It's seven days away from my childhood best friend Chris Maschentauer's birthday.
00:11Okay.
00:12Well, seven days away from my birthday, but good for Chris.
00:14Oh, 14?
00:15Oh shit!
00:16Damn.
00:17Well, that makes sense.
00:18I haven't talked to Chris in 15 years, maybe.
00:21Well why would you know...
00:22Six days away from Frankie Borelli's.
00:23Oh shit.
00:24Oh.
00:25Happy early birthday, Frankie.
00:26Yeah.
00:27How do you like having a Wednesday birthday?
00:30I love it, dude.
00:32I'm okay.
00:33Every year.

01:14Olympics.
01:15A couple of different stories, obviously a mixed bag of different things.
01:17USA has taken over the gold medal count with 24, we lead China by one as of now.
01:22I feel like we should have that all the time.
01:23We should.
01:24I think we pretty much do.
01:25I think it's close between us and China usually, right?
01:27And maybe is Russia up there?
01:29Russia's usually up there, I would imagine.
01:30Yeah.
01:31I would think during the winter.
01:32Yeah.
01:33I don't know how much-
01:34Yeah, true.
01:35... they're doing in the summer.
01:36But yeah, I don't know.
01:37But I feel like we win comfortably every time we win medal count as a whole.
01:45And then golds, I think we're usually pretty neck and neck with China.
01:49Yeah.
01:50And I am not an Olympic historian, so I don't know.
01:51Australia and France are the next two.
01:54Oh, but we have the old time.
01:55We have the total medal count by-
01:57By a ton.
01:58That one we always win.
01:59Always win.
02:00Yeah.
02:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:02Donnie was saying yesterday how we're the only country that counts that at all.
02:06Like total medals.
02:07Really?
02:08And Europe hates that.
02:09We try to claim, like, oh, we have 88 total medals, but everyone else just goes by-
02:12That surprises me, because the whole Olympics, they celebrate bronze, they celebrate silver.
02:16Yeah.
02:17In other countries.
02:18Why would you-
02:19No, in other countries they do, because we win the gold every time.
02:21But then we don't know what happens to that.
02:23They get off the stage and they take it away.
02:25Yeah.
02:26They're building them tough.
02:27Yeah.
02:28They're building them tough.
02:29Men's basketball plays Serbia in the semifinals, beat Brazil yesterday by a million, 122-87.
02:33Final four is now us versus Serbia, and a tale as old as time, France versus Germany,
02:37folks.
02:38Oh, yeah.
02:39Yep.
02:40In the final four.
02:41We've been rivals for a while.
02:42Yeah.
02:43Yeah.
02:44British swimmer Adam Peaty claims athletes are finding worms in the fish being served
02:47at the Olympic Village.
02:48This seems like standard.
02:49It seems like the Olympic Village seems like the worst place on earth to live.
02:52Yeah.
02:53Just every single time.
02:54I love this Adam Peaty dude.
02:55I saw him race the other night.
02:57He just looks like such a fucking British hooligan.
03:00Really?
03:01Yeah.
03:02He comes out with his hood up, sunglasses on.
03:05He's just like, he's a thick boy.
03:07He doesn't-
03:08Oh, okay.
03:09He doesn't really look like a swimmer.
03:10Yeah.
03:11He looks like he could be playing fullback at all times.
03:12Yeah.
03:13Yeah.
03:14He's jacked.
03:15Oh, my God.
03:16He's way thick for a swimmer.
03:17Yeah.
03:18I thought you had to be real skinny, aerodynamic for that.
03:19Yeah.
03:20But I guess not.
03:21He's got the power.
03:23When he walked out, I was surprised that he wasn't in a Stone Island jacket because he
03:25just looks like someone who's going to go fight someone at a Man United game.
03:28Yeah.
03:29Bucket hat, parka, whole thing.
03:31Yeah, but Olympic Village basically seems every four years or two years, whatever it
03:36is, it feels like an entrapment camp, an imprisonment.
03:40Nobody could have sex.
03:41Nobody can do anything.
03:42When did that all start?
03:45The sex thing?
03:46Mm-hmm.
03:47And why?
03:48It had to be recent.
03:49Don't we want to reproduce massive athletes?
03:50I just found out Simone Biles' husband is a corner for the, or a safety for the Bears.
03:54Packers.
03:55Oh, I didn't know that.
03:56Bears.
03:57Oh, he was Packers.
03:58He might have been traded offseason.
03:59I did, but you can only play for one team at a time, so he's on the Bears now.
04:01I didn't know he was on a new team.
04:02I know you only watch the Patriots.
04:03I just know him as a Packers guy.
04:06He's Bears now.
04:07The only reason I know he's on the Bears is because of hard knocks, so fair to both.
04:12She in it?
04:13She's in it, yeah.
04:14Oh, wow.
04:15FaceTime, but she's in it.
04:18What were you saying before that?
04:19I was saying something.
04:20When did it start?
04:21No sound.
04:22Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:23Because they got the cardboard beds and stuff.
04:24But, like, it's proven false every, I feel like it's been at least three Olympics in
04:27a row with, like, the anti-sex beds, and then the Olympic, the athletes get there, and they
04:32jump on the bed, and they're like, fuck on this bed.
04:34Yeah.
04:35Like, it's never, it's never real.
04:37Do you think there's anything in the Olympic athletes that are like, let's see if we can
04:41break the bed fucking?
04:42Oh, yeah, they're competitive.
04:43You think they're trying to break the beds?
04:46I bet they are.
04:47I bet there's a badge of honor to, like, bring in your fucking wet cardboard bed the next
04:51day and be like, I need a new one.
04:57So apparently it was lifted at this Olympics.
04:59I don't think it's ever been real.
05:01I think it's just an internet rumor.
05:02That's the thing.
05:03How do you enforce it?
05:04Yeah.
05:05Like, even if they try, even if they try to say there's an intimacy ban, you can't enforce
05:07that.
05:08Right.
05:09Unless you're, like, a college dorm where you're, like, no girls and boys in the same.
05:11Well, I guess in most countries that Olympics are in, they can't enforce it.
05:14Well, yeah.
05:15Like, China, Russia.
05:16Murder.
05:17I feel like, yeah.
05:18France.
05:19France is a little harder to enforce the...
05:22France still owes us a couple of favors.
05:24Where the French kiss was invented, they're definitely doing it.
05:27Yeah.
05:28But you're right.
05:29I feel like it's a rumor.
05:30I don't get why they want to ban it, but it is what it is.
05:33Oh, Wonton Don jumped into the river.
05:35Is that the river that got shit in it?
05:37Yeah.
05:38Yikes, Donnie.
05:39Dude, Donnie is...
05:40Oh, and part five of the hottest Olympic athletes in Paris history.
05:46There's now...
05:47We've now hit Rocky V.
05:49He is the weirdest guy.
05:54Yeah, Donnie just loves jumping in water.
05:56Donnie...
05:57Crazy.
05:58He's a...
05:59Doesn't matter if there's hippos in there.
06:02It doesn't matter if it's the Hudson River.
06:04Didn't he swim across the Hudson?
06:06Yeah.
06:07He came to my...
06:08Him and Pat came to my parents' house over Fourth of July.
06:11And my parents live on a river.
06:12And he was like, can I go swim in that?
06:14It's like 10 minutes from the beach.
06:15And he was like, you can, I think.
06:19No one's ever done it, but you can.
06:21And Donnie was out there.
06:22Jumped right in.
06:23Loves water, too.
06:24I loved it.
06:25He's a simple dude.
06:26Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey, or Marlon Humphrey, I apologize.
06:30Marlon Humphrey called Simone Biles and Suni Lee's behavior on the podium
06:33disgusting after showing praise to a Brazilian gymnast
06:36who won the gold in a floor routine.
06:38I mean, I get where he's coming from, but I...
06:41What are they supposed to do?
06:42They lost.
06:43Yeah.
06:44It's like...
06:45Oh, okay.
06:46You know what?
06:48You're not into that?
06:49I don't know about that.
06:50I don't know about that.
06:51I mean, you lost.
06:52It's the first time I'm seeing the picture.
06:53I don't know about that.
06:54I think it's better to accept what they lost.
06:57Bro, I think you can go like this, and it's just as effective.
06:59You do not bow down to somebody else who...
07:01There is part of it.
07:03Simone's won so many medals.
07:05Is it like she's patting her on the head and going like,
07:07oh, this is cute, you won one?
07:09That's how I think of it.
07:10I don't know, man.
07:11Like Brady, the old Patriots quarterback,
07:13another team went to the Super Bowl that year,
07:15and he's like, congratulations.
07:17He went to the Bucs after that.
07:19He went to the Bucs.
07:20Yeah.
07:21Right.
07:22Yeah.
07:23No, I saw that picture.
07:26I had a different problem with that picture.
07:28We're like...
07:29I talked to Casey Ray the other day.
07:31We're like, everyone saw it, at least on my timeline,
07:34like the viral tweets I saw of it,
07:36were like, this is the most iconic picture in Olympic history.
07:39And I think everyone has that now on Twitter,
07:42where like everyone needs to make predictions.
07:44Yeah.
07:45Projections about like...
07:46I don't know, just say it's a cool picture,
07:47or say it's a non-cool picture.
07:48Right.
07:49You don't have to like make a...
07:50We're not talking history 24 hours.
07:51I don't know.
07:52Right.
07:53I'm kind of on the Ravens' side here.
07:55Let's...
07:56Hold on for the thumbnail.
07:57Let's recreate it.
08:01All right, I just wanted that screenshot.
08:05That's unbelievable.
08:07That was a good one, Robbie.
08:08People are mad.
08:09Navy head coach, Brian Newberry,
08:11for not letting player skip practice
08:13to watch his sister win the Olympic gold.
08:16Thea LeFond of Jamaica won gold in the triple jump.
08:21Oh, this is...
08:22So the Navy head coach, this is for college football?
08:25Yeah.
08:26Oh, you got to let him.
08:27If you're training for another Olympic sport, I get it.
08:30It's like, no, you got to have your gold on your mind.
08:33Fuck this.
08:34Yeah, early days of training camp.
08:36Navy, he's already living hard life as it is.
08:39Oh, it's kind of cool to be told like that, though.
08:41To be fair.
08:43That's a sick moment.
08:44No, I'd rather watch it.
08:45I think I'd rather watch too, but that's a pretty cool moment.
08:48It's not as cool as watching it.
08:50Who are these people who...
08:51Does this fucking tweet say he was not allowed to watch it?
08:54That's what I was going to say, too.
08:56So everyone's mad about it.
08:57It's unclear whether the kid...
08:58Like, this doesn't say we kidnapped this kid
09:01and made him play football.
09:02Like, he might have wanted to go practice with his boys.
09:04Yeah, you think he's like, fuck, I'll watch it later.
09:07How is it coming out that he wasn't allowed to go?
09:09I'm sure it isn't.
09:10I'm sure fucking people are just being dumb.
09:12Yes, exactly.
09:13Whatever you see, people are mad.
09:15It's fucking made up.
09:16Oh, okay.
09:17It's not true.
09:18So we're not sure if this guy banned this kid from going.
09:20No.
09:21As far as I know.
09:22Bad rap, yeah.
09:23Got it.
09:24They saw this cool moment and now are trying to shit on it.
09:26Yeah.
09:27Welcome to the...
09:28People are mad is fucking never true.
09:30It's like five people, five tweets embedded in a blog.
09:32People are mad.
09:33People are mad.
09:35People are mad.
09:36Juan Tan Tan jumped in.
09:37Dante Adonis now published part five of the hottest athletes in Paris.
09:40The series which we touched on.
09:42Chicago White Sox won.
09:43Chicago White Sox beat Oakland A's 5-1,
09:46snapping an AL record-tying 21-game losing streak,
09:49set by the Baltimore Orioles in 1988.
09:51Eddie and White Sox Dave were in attendance.
09:53That's a hell of a fucking game to go to.
09:55They went there, I guess, just to see that.
09:57If you're White Sox Dave,
09:58do you want your team to break the record because it's embarrassing?
10:02Or to snap the record because it's embarrassing?
10:04Or do you want to break the record for history?
10:06No, I think you don't want the record.
10:08I think you're not rooting against your team to lose that game,
10:11but there's part of you that's like,
10:12especially because they're going for content,
10:14I think it almost would have been better if the White Sox lost.
10:17Yeah.
10:18For content, 100%.
10:19Yeah.
10:20MLB record is 24 straight losses,
10:22which would have been set versus the Cubs on Friday.
10:24That would have been good.
10:25That would have been good, yeah.
10:26They at least got to it.
10:27I was kind of rooting against them.
10:28And there was fireworks scheduled.
10:29White Sox now 28-88.
10:31Most losses in MLB modern era is 121 by the New York Mets.
10:34The White Sox would have finished the season 13-33 to hit that mark.
10:39I think they can do that.
10:41Yeah.
10:42I think they very much could go 13-3.
10:43Definitely.
10:44So, we'll see.
10:45The White Sox are crazy, dude.
10:47I mean, the A's as well.
10:49The White Sox are one of those franchises that have been around forever,
10:51and they just have no, like, footprint on the…
10:54They have that one world series.
10:55I was listening to talk radio today.
10:56Like, when you jump out, like, all-time greats for the White Sox.
10:59You have Frank Thomas.
11:00You have Canerco.
11:02And then, like, I'm sure there's a bunch of guys in the 80s
11:04or a few guys in the 80s.
11:05But, like, no one here is correcting me on that.
11:08That's clever.
11:09Clever.
11:10How many greats are for the White Sox, like, off the top of your head?
11:15We got one.
11:16Billy Pierce.
11:17Billy Pierce.
11:18How many since, like, 75?
11:22Carlton Fisk.
11:23Carlton Fisk.
11:24No, not Carlton Fisk.
11:25Harold Gaines.
11:26Harold Gaines.
11:27Frank Thomas.
11:28Founder of Wendy's?
11:29Yeah, Frank Thomas.
11:30Oh, you're an asshole.
11:34Not a good franchise, boys.
11:36Yeah, not a good franchise.
11:37I just don't.
11:38I mean, it's something I'll never be able to understand.
11:40Like, an owner who does not want his team to win, why do you want it?
11:46Because he's not penalized and you can keep the money.
11:48But, like, what good is that money if a fucking entire fan base hates you?
11:53Money's still green.
11:54I'm not defending it.
11:55I'm just saying.
11:56No, I know.
11:57It's still money's green, man.
11:58Fact.
11:59And then every once in a while you could, like, you don't have to actively win,
12:01but you can stumble into a World Series, which he did.
12:04So he's going to go down as a World Series champion owner.
12:07Just need the one.
12:08You know what I mean?
12:09I'm not saying it's right.
12:10When did they win?
12:11Like, oh.
12:12Five.
12:13Oh, five.
12:14Five.
12:15Oh, back-to-back Sox years.
12:16That's weird.
12:17White Sox, non-White Sox.
12:18Yeah, yes, yes.
12:19It's so weird when I hear Sox.
12:20I don't even.
12:21I mean, it's a nothing franchise.
12:22Yeah.
12:23No, I hear Sox.
12:24I say, right.
12:25I agree, I agree.
12:26I was shocked that when I started working here and, you know, the Chicago guys came
12:31on and, like, just seeing tweets about the Sox, and I was like, you guys call them the
12:35Sox?
12:36For some reason, it obviously makes a lot of sense.
12:38Like how people from Boston call their arena the Garden.
12:40Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:41Oh, that's incorrect.
12:42But not anymore.
12:43No?
12:44No?
12:45I mean, I know I don't call it the Garden.
12:46Oh, I think people do still.
12:47Which one do you think is more iconic?
12:50I guess.
12:52You guess?
12:53Well, I guess it's this one.
12:55This one, obviously, all the stories I know are from the Garden.
12:58I call it TD Garden.
12:59Yeah.
13:00Fair.
13:01But the...
13:02I mean, just to walk through the way that they did that rotunda now in Madison Square
13:06Garden, they have something significant every single day of the year.
13:09Every day, that's good.
13:10Every single day of the year.
13:11I like looking at that.
13:12But I would argue that our significant moments are sports related.
13:18You guys are like, yeah, we have Taylor Swift.
13:20We got concerts.
13:21Yeah.
13:22Yeah.
13:23We could hang up fucking banners and signs for...
13:25Willis Reed walking back out of the Garden, Messier winning.
13:28There's been some sports moments as well.
13:29Oh, yeah.
13:30Few and far in between.
13:31I was going to say, that's two?
13:33And the Willis Reed, like, didn't even get two points.
13:35Hey, hey.
13:36Four.
13:37Bro, they wouldn't publish that one.
13:38Wrestlemania 1, Wrestlemania 10, Wrestlemania 20.
13:40You heard about that?
13:41They wouldn't.
13:42The day he died, I wrote Well, Actually.
13:43It was my first part of a series of, like, debunking sports myths.
13:46And they wouldn't publish it because they were like, he just died.
13:48I'm like, but he only scored four points.
13:50It's just not the time.
13:51Both things can be true.
13:52It's just not the time.
13:53They also banned, there's a blog that's banned about Jim Valvano's
13:55recruiting violations on Jimmy V Day.
13:58They will not publish it.
14:00They will not.
14:03I would joke with them, but they have no sense of humor.
14:05Literally, the moment that Tom Petty died, they were doing the rundown.
14:09It was Dave, Big Cat, and Karabas.
14:12Someone walked over, and they said, hey, I hate to break the news,
14:14but Tom Petty just died.
14:16And Karabas went, well, John Mayer did a way better free-falling.
14:20Not the time.
14:21It's just not the time.
14:22Hey, Mike, did you hear Stan Lee died?
14:25Who cares?
14:27Unbelievable.
14:28Second half of the rundown brought to you by Pardon My Cheesesteak.
14:30Football is finally back.

15:17They didn't mention it on there, but the Max 2 Soda Special is also
15:20an awesome little wrinkle in it.
15:23Pitbull has purchased the naming rights to FIU Stadium.
15:26Surprisingly cheap.
15:27Five years, $1.2 million.
15:29It's going to be called Pitbull Stadium, FIU Florida International.
15:32What other athletes or athletes off the top of your head work like this?
15:36I feel like it only works.
15:37This doesn't work for, like, I don't know, Faison Love or
15:42he was a role actor.
15:44That name just jumped on me.
15:45Faison Love?
15:46Yeah.
15:47Crazy name to bring up.
15:48Or, like, uh...
15:50I'm trying to think.
15:51Pitbull, like you, like...
15:52Bobby Cavallari.
15:53Bobby Cannavales.
15:54Cannavales.
15:55It doesn't really work if it's the Bobby Cannavales Arena.
15:57Glennie Ball says he's the hottest guy in the world.
15:59Yeah, he probably is.
16:00Yeah, that was great.
16:01But the Bobby Cannavales Arena doesn't bump as much as Pitbull.
16:03No.
16:04You know, there's only a certain amount of guys who it works.
16:06Pitbull sounds, like, cool.
16:07Like, even if it wasn't associated with Pitbull, like, you're coming to
16:09the stadium, the dog pound, if they want to call it that.
16:11Like, that sounds kind of sick.
16:13I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.
16:16Like, Dave.
16:17If it's 1.2 mil, Dave is making that on a bet.
16:20On a college stadium.
16:21Why doesn't he fucking rename college stadiums Portnoy Stadium?
16:23Well, the...
16:24I think it's...
16:25I think we've talked about it before.
16:26Like, I'm 99% sure we have.
16:28Like, the Varsity Sportsbook was looking at...
16:33The Bills Stadium, right?
16:34Bills.
16:35Yeah.
16:36And, um...
16:37I believe New Orleans.
16:38Is that the other one?
16:39And Superdome was really expensive for the same reason MSG is,
16:42because they also have concerts.
16:44Yep.
16:45But the...
16:46But Bills was...
16:47Bills, when I heard the price of the Bills,
16:49I want to say it was 6 million a year.
16:51Maybe it's 8.
16:52Maybe it was a million per game.
16:53You would imagine more.
16:54That seems like less.
16:55That doesn't seem as much as I would have thought.
16:57No.
16:58No, maybe...
16:59And it might have been...
17:00I'm obviously not totally sure what you're talking about.
17:02Savage.
17:03Like, it was...
17:04It might have been 8 million total for, like, a five-year deal.
17:07Or I was like, oh, fuck.
17:08That's all it cost?
17:09Right.
17:10I remember hearing about it and thinking,
17:11oh, that's, like, very attainable.
17:13It was more about, like, getting approved.
17:15Who has the Bills now?
17:16It's a harder obstacle to get over.
17:17It begins with an A.
17:18Like, Ameritrade or...
17:2317 million a year for the Levi's Stadium.
17:27Levi's.
17:28I've been there.
17:29Yeah, but that's, like...
17:30The stadiums that get a lot of things outside...
17:32Yeah.
17:33The Bills have 8 games a year.
17:34That's all you get.
17:36At least not that I'm aware of.
17:37The...
17:38Like, I'm sure AT&T, like they said,
17:40the Superdome was more expensive.
17:43But they're...
17:45To have the naming rights to a stadium,
17:46it's not crazy.
17:49No.
17:50That can't be...
17:51That has to just be, like...
17:52It says Heinz Field is 2.5 million a year,
17:54but it has to be because they signed a 20-year contract.
17:57But they just signed that.
17:58They just reopened it.
17:59Well, because it's not...
18:00Because it's not Heinz.
18:01This must be old, because it's not Heinz Field.
18:02Yeah.
18:03I'm trying to find most expensive stadiums.
18:05Heinz Field blown up by Bane in The Dark Knight Rises.
18:08Yeah.
18:09Spoilers.
18:10That's crazy.
18:12Yeah, I guess it's just not that expensive as you expected.
18:16Ben Affleck is going to play...
18:17This is a head-scratcher.
18:18Ben Affleck is going to play Hulk Hogan
18:19in a movie about Hulk Hogan suing Gawker.
18:21Why is that a head-scratcher?
18:22I don't know if Ben Affleck can play him.
18:24I think that's weird.
18:25I think it's weird casting for sure.
18:26Like, I'm not saying it can't work,
18:28but I'm saying, like, my brain can't imagine that.
18:31I can kind of see him.
18:32Gus Van Sant is directing?
18:33Affleck's a big dude.
18:35Affleck's, like, 6'5".
18:37But can you picture him with a leathery skin,
18:39that tan, walking around going,
18:41What's up, brother?
18:42And if it's a movie about Gawker,
18:43he might be saying things much worse.
18:45Yeah.
18:46We used to have a guy here
18:47who did a good Hulk Hogan impression.
18:49Who?
18:50Doesn't matter.
18:51Okay.
18:52Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:53It took me a second.
18:54Also, this is written by the guy who wrote the big short.
18:58Oh, okay.
18:59I'm all in on that.
19:00Adam McKay?
19:01No.
19:02Adam McKay wrote the big short.
19:03He wrote it, like, with a guy.
19:05If you look it up,
19:06someone won an Oscar with Adam McKay, I think.
19:09Not him.
19:10Who was it?
19:12Richard something.
19:17Maybe.
19:19But, yeah, the only other thing
19:21that they're crediting the writer of Killing Gawker with
19:23is he won an Oscar for the big short.
19:25So I'm like, Charles Randolph.
19:27That's his name.
19:29I can see.
19:30I don't.
19:31I'm an Affleck guy.
19:32Oh, big time.
19:33So am I.
19:34Love Affleck.
19:35So am I.
19:36Love him.
19:37Like Casey as well.
19:38Who's that?
19:39Like Casey Affleck as well.
19:40That whole crew.
19:41Damon's my guy, too.
19:42Yeah.
19:43I can see him pulling this off.
19:45I can see him being.
19:46He is a big guy.
19:47He's a big strapping guy.
19:48Yes.
19:49There's also rumors that there's a Hulk Hogan biopic
19:51in the works from Todd Phillips right now.
19:53No, I guess not rumors.
19:54He's confirmed it.
19:55Todd Phillips did the Hangover, the Joker movies.
19:57He has cast Chris Hemsworth as the Hulk Hogan character.
20:01I can certainly see that as well.
20:02That one I could see a little more.
20:04Still, it's weird for me to picture anyone as Hulk Hogan.
20:08Yeah.
20:09He's just one of those guys.
20:10It's almost like they should just have Hulk Hogan do it.
20:13I would love if whoever they cast to play Hulk Hogan.
20:17What about Jeremy Allen White?
20:19Because he was really good in.
20:20That's too short.
20:21He was good in Iron Claw.
20:23He can't play two wrestlers either.
20:25Yeah.
20:26Why not?
20:27I would love if someone gets.
20:28Kevin Costner has played 11 baseball guys.
20:31What if they get stuck with the accent like Austin Butler?
20:35They go on Jimmy Fallon, they're like,
20:36let me tell you something, brother.
20:38That's got to be it.
20:40It's unbelievable.
20:42Masturbating in public at an all-time high in New York City.
20:45According to the NYPD, the number of people
20:48masturbating publicly has been seeing a significant rise.
20:51There have been 378 complaints filed from the start of 2024
20:55to June 30th, up from 251 in the same time period last month.
20:5951% rise.
21:00Public is upset because masturbating in public
21:02is a non-ball eligible, non-bail eligible offense.
21:06Sorry.
21:07Non-bail eligible offense, meaning the culprits
21:09are almost always back on the streets within a few hours,
21:12yanking it back out.
21:14At a Manhattan community board meeting for an area
21:17covering Tribeca and the financial district,
21:19residents were furious over cops' failure to respond
21:21to complaints about a grime-covered serial
21:23masturbator with a marine corpse tattoo on his back.
21:26I mean, he served the country, folks.
21:28Where do we draw the line?
21:30He stolen valor, who knows?
21:31Right, yeah.
21:32Like, you know.
21:33This is, this is, uh...
21:34I don't know, it does, it's...
21:35That doesn't seem like a big number to me.
21:37How many people are in New York?
21:39It's more than one a day.
21:40It's more than one a day that you see publicly doing it.
21:43Out of nine million people?
21:44But you're telling me in all of New York,
21:46the five boroughs, there's only about one a day jerking it?
21:49That's pretty good.
21:50Those are good numbers.
21:51Those are good numbers.
21:52Those are good.
21:53That's a good point.
21:54Because I feel like you come into New York,
21:56maybe once a week I'll see someone doing something insane.
21:59I feel like all these complaints and stuff like that
22:01are city-based.
22:02Like, none of this stuff is touching the island,
22:04Brooklyn.
22:05Yeah.
22:06Now, Brooklyn for sure.
22:07Yeah, Brooklyn.
22:08I think Staten Island's safe, outside of that.
22:10We got our own problems.
22:11I think it might be touching the island.
22:13Illegal prescription pads.
22:14I wouldn't be shocked.
22:15Got our own problems.
22:16Yeah, gross.
22:17Yeah, a lot.
22:18It's crazy.
22:19After show, Frank the Tank threw out the first pitch last night.
22:22Mets-Rockies game, he wore a Rockies jersey.
22:24Now listen, there's a lot that goes into this.
22:26You have to get the jersey a couple months in advance.
22:28You want to play nice.
22:29He's got this thing where he does want to do a lot of first pitches,
22:32so he wants to show he's like a team player.
22:34Doing it against the Mets is kind of hard.
22:36Against the Mets is.
22:37It's a tough look.
22:38And they wore it the whole game.
22:39Against the Mets is a tough look.
22:40He's done this before.
22:41He's trying to set the record.
22:42FDR has the most first pitches ever.
22:44I think he did the Indians, right?
22:48Guardians.
22:49Guardians.
22:50He wore a Guardians jersey for that.
22:52Which I think is, like, in baseball more than any other sport,
22:55I would say is understandable, and you can do that,
22:58unless they're playing your team.
22:59Yes.
23:00I agree with that.
23:01And you guys didn't say anything about Marty.
23:03Marty specifically said he wasn't doing it against the Yankees.
23:05Yeah.
23:06I agree with that.
23:07I saw White Sox David get mad at Marty, and I was like.
23:09Particularly.
23:10White Sox David gets mad at everybody.
23:12Interleague.
23:13Exactly.
23:14Interleague.
23:15They're different.
23:16Way better.
23:17Interleague.
23:18American League.
23:19You're good.
23:20Yeah.
23:21When I was, like, wearing a lot of hats,
23:22I'd wear Red Sox hats and NL teams.
23:26Okay.
23:27See, I had a phase where I was trying to get all 30 teams
23:29minus the Yankees, Braves, and Phillies.
23:31Minus the Yankees, Braves.
23:33Yes.
23:34But actually, you know what?
23:35Because I had an A's hat.
23:36I had a Mariners hat.
23:37So maybe I would give the West Coast some leniency as well.
23:40I think it's a cool hat.
23:41But I agree with you.
23:42Baseball, for some reason, feels different with the interleague play.
23:47162 games.
23:48Yeah.
23:49This game don't really matter.
23:50Also, like I was saying, hats.
23:53Jersey is different.
23:55Pull that up.
23:56What did FDR do?
23:57He had 11 during his presidency, it said.
23:59But I don't know what his total number is.
24:01Because obviously, like, you have Tom Willis throughout the first pitch
24:05at 29 different stadiums.
24:06Haley Dawson throughout the first pitch at 30.
24:08Oh, really?
24:09So maybe Frank Shiner gets all 30.
24:10Who's Haley Dawson?
24:11Should I know who that is?
24:12She was on that show about the creek.
24:14Why?
24:15Oh, nice.
24:16Why does she have the most?
24:19Oh, little girl.
24:21Did she have, like, a –
24:22This is whose dream Frank wants to shatter?
24:24I was going to say, did she have the same dream as Frank?
24:26Like, can I do all 30?
24:28I got to beat this little seven-year-old girl.
24:32Robotic hand.
24:33With a robotic hand.
24:34Oh, okay.
24:35That's badass.
24:36You fucking insensitive bastard.
24:37That's badass.
24:39Like Luke Skywalker.
24:40Yeah.
24:42Go get her, Frank.
24:43Frank is like Darth Vader.
24:45This poor young girl with a robotic arm deserves to be taken down a notch or two.
24:49Yeah.
24:50Robbie's got a new series bullying bulls.
24:52That's the new series of Arsenal.
24:54I just saw Glennie.
24:55He was just messing with his Cheetos yesterday.
24:57He kept, like, shaking his Cheetos up and shaking them.
25:00The other guy for most first pitches is a guy with no arms.
25:06Attaboy, Frank.
25:08Way to steal their joy, Frankie.
25:11Yeah, speaking of joy.
25:12You heard about the guy with no arms who wanted to ring the bell at the church?
25:15No.
25:17Set myself up for this one.
25:19He's got no arms, and there's an ad out in the paper.
25:22He wants to ring the bell at the church.
25:23I think it happened in, like, Wisconsin.
25:25And they put the ad out, and he gets there, and the priest is like, dude,
25:28like, you got to be kidding me.
25:29He's like, Father, I need the money.
25:30I need the money.
25:31He's like, all right.
25:32Takes him up to the thing.
25:33He backs up, runs face first into the bell.
25:35Doesn't ring.
25:36Falls down.
25:37Priest is like, I'll just give you the money.
25:39I can't.
25:40He's like, no, no.
25:41I want to earn it.
25:42I want to earn it.
25:43Backs up again all the way.
25:44Buries into the bell.
25:45The bell rings.
25:46He goes down the stairs, out into the street, dead.
25:47The people are like, people come in.
25:48The cops start gathering.
25:49They're like, does anyone know this guy?
25:50Priest goes, no, but his face rings a bell.
25:53That's good.
25:54That's good.
25:55I like that.
25:56I didn't know where I was going for a second.
25:58But, yeah, this video is very simple.
26:00Glenny's eating Cheetos.
26:01I smack him out of his hand.
26:03Classic comedy.
26:08Classic comedy.
26:13It got a big, fat lull out of me the first time I saw it.
26:17Well, Glenny's, I love his hands are the only thing in frame.
26:21You just see him go like that.
26:23Very Italian.
26:25Very funny.
26:27Just so, yeah.
26:29Great.
26:31Speaking of very funny, Donnie and Jerry.
26:36Oh, Jerry last night.
26:37It was very funny.
26:38That fucking clip.
26:40Both of them burning each other's hands.
26:42Jerry made a sound I've never heard him make ever.
26:45He's like, ah!
26:46We're good.
26:47We're good.
26:48We're good.
26:49It's on fire, Donnie!
26:50Why is it sticking?
26:51Why is it sticking?
26:52That looks good.
26:53Why is it stuck?
26:54There's a little cheese.
26:55Oh, no.
26:56But we're in a good spot.
26:57Okay.
26:58We're in a good spot.
26:59Okay.
27:00Donnie, it's on fire!
27:01It's on fire?
27:02Yes!
27:03Yes!
27:04Pick it up!
27:05Pick it up!
27:06Pick it up!
27:07Donnie!
27:08Donnie!
27:09Donnie!
27:10Stay right there!
27:11Stay right there!
27:12You're good.
27:13Hold on.
27:14You're good.
27:15You're in a good spot.
27:16Is it on fire?
27:17No.
27:18It's done now.
27:19The fire went out.
27:20Okay.
27:21Okay.
27:22Behind you.
27:23Donnie.
27:24Donnie.
27:25Yeah, right there.
27:26Grab the handle.
27:27Bring it back a little bit.
27:28More.
27:29More.
27:30Perfect.
27:31Was it actually on fire?
27:32I can't.
27:33What?
27:34Yes.
27:35Holy shit.
27:36Maybe Mincey...
27:37We're in a good spot.
27:38Maybe I was too harsh on Mincey.
27:39It must be easier than I thought to light it on fire.
27:41Okay.
27:42Good spot.
27:43You wanna flip it?
27:44Let's flip it.
27:45Okay.
27:46What do you want?
27:47I'm just gonna use my hand.
27:48Hold on!
27:49Donnie!
27:50Donnie!
27:51It's aflame again!
27:52It's aflame again!
27:53Grab the handle!
27:54Pick it up!
27:55Pick it up!
27:56Pick up the pot!
27:57Okay.
27:58Stay right there.
27:59Stay right there.
28:00It's definitely burning then if it's on fire.
28:01We gotta flip it.
28:02We gotta flip it.
28:03Holy shit!
28:04Yeah, I don't know how to flip it though!
28:05Give me the spatula!
28:06Wait, hold on!
28:07Fuck it.
28:08Yeah, flip it!
28:09Nice!
28:10It's hot!
28:11It's hot!
28:12Give me the spatula!
28:13I don't know where the spatula is!
28:14You have eyes!
28:15You can see!
28:16It's gonna be in the spatula!
28:17Come here!
28:18Come here!
28:19Come here!
28:20Right!
28:21Right!
28:22Right!
28:23Right!
28:24Right!
28:25Right!
28:26Right!
28:27This'll work.
28:28This'll work.
28:29What were they actually making?
28:30The clip I saw, there were a couple because I think there was one...
28:31You saw bacon in one?
28:32Yeah, bacon and cheese it seemed.
28:33And then I definitely saw Donnie stick his hand in a pot of boiling water.
28:36Made me think it was some kind of pasta.
28:38I think I saw Jerry cooking a steak.
28:40It seemed like they had a variety.
28:41I think they tried a few different things maybe.
28:45I saw people who were saying Donnie didn't know his lefts from his rights all night,
28:49which made for a much more entertaining story.
28:51It reminds me of years and years ago we did...
28:56Me and Dan went to the Demolition Derby in Brockton, Mass.
29:01And one of the contests we participated in was blindfold driving.
29:07Oh my god.
29:09And I was blindfolded.
29:10You had a passenger in the car with you.
29:12I was blindfolded and I had the mayor of Brockton with me at the time.
29:15And then Dan was blindfolded with Hank in the car with him.
29:18And the one instruction Dan gave to Hank was just make sure you tell me to turn.
29:25And for some reason Hank just pointed the whole video.
29:30And Dan kept crashing issues.
29:32That's funny.
29:33You've got to say it out loud, Hank. You've got to say it out loud.
29:35I noticed that last night during the stream.
29:37There was a few times where Jerry was blindfolded and Donnie just kept pointing,
29:41being like, no, here, no, here, no.
29:43And then he was like, oh, no, left.
29:44So it was like he got in his head.
29:46Unbelievable.
29:47Speaking of hands, we touched on Glenny's hands.
29:50Rough and Rowdy, Friday, 25th.
29:52Rough and Rowdy, 25, Friday, August 9th.
29:55Robbie on the call, very excited.
29:57Abel brother fighting for his Rough and Rowdy livelihood against Mikey Betts.
30:01So it is just one.
30:02Yeah.
30:03Both Abel brothers are fighting.
30:04They're both fighting, but not at the same time.
30:05No.
30:06Okay.
30:07I thought Mikey Betts was fighting them both.
30:08Wait, is the other Abel brother fighting?
30:10I believe he's fighting our transgender fighter who he called out.
30:13Okay.
30:14Devlin, both Abel brothers are fighting?
30:18Yes, confirmed fighting the transgender.
30:20Got it.
30:23I wouldn't mess with her, though.
30:24I wouldn't mess with her.
30:25We put out this 10-minute video, too, that's like a Rough and Rowdy, almost like HBO 24-7.
30:30Okay.
30:31Very well done.
30:32Shout out the editors that worked on that.
30:33The Abel brothers are, they're different.
30:41What was it about the ropes that you wanted to go over so much?
30:45I don't know.
30:46It's just when you're in there, shit happens.
30:48But that's literally never happened one time.
30:50They have accents that I describe as birth control.
30:54One of my boys texted me saying I'm getting a $500 accent bonus.
30:58They're like cockroaches.
30:59They're going to keep coming at you until you kill them.
31:02Mikey has a lot of pressure on him, so he better step up.
31:05I joined Rough and Rowdy because of Frank.
31:07I need to fight for Frank.
31:08I don't like the Abel brothers.
31:09Look into Mikey Betts' eyes.
31:11It's going to be darkness.
31:12Pain.
31:13Feel the pain.
31:14Nobody wants to be the guy who loses to an Abel.
31:16They're characters.
31:18I don't know how else to put it.
31:19I mean, you guys know them.
31:20The Abel brothers always bring it.
31:22It does go to Zachary Abel, the assassin king.
31:25Oh, good left from Abel.
31:27Oh, Abel comes running out.
31:28The crowd is loving the action.
31:30What did I tell you?
31:32What did I tell you?
31:33Do you agree with the decision?
31:35I mean, I thought it was an early stop.
31:37Look at these warriors.
31:38I'm not even hurt, dude.
31:40Yeah, I mean, no introduction needed, honestly.
31:43The Abel brothers are classic.
31:45Whether you love them, you hate them, you want to tune in,
31:49you want to hear their voices, might be the last time we ever see them.
31:52As you mentioned, fighting for their rough-and-rowdy livelihood,
31:55while Mikey Betts fighting for his job at Barstool.
31:57It's a loser-leaves-town match.
31:59I mean, one of the best scenes in the history of Game of Thrones.
32:03Pedro Pascal versus the Mountain.
32:05Fighting as a champion, right?
32:07We have someone fighting as Frank the Jank's champion for the second time.
32:10We had Janks do this, now Mikey Betts.
32:13Harrison might be up next.
32:15We'll see.
32:17I'm excited, though.
32:18For the first time, me, Dave, and Dan are on the call since January.
32:21We've got Ronan and Nick Tirrani on interviews.
32:23I think it's going to be really funny.
32:24It's going to be really good, as it always is.
32:26Rough-and-rowdy.
32:27Buy R&R.com, check it out.
32:28That's the rundown.
32:29We'll see you tomorrow.
