Yeah, I got a bro

Wes Castelhano (02:27.79)
I mean, that's very, that's a very Italian thing. Just, you you tip everybody.

Hey man, look I might be down the line somewhere bro. Just you never know as far as I know, you know, I'm 100 % Would you Italian? That's my number one cuisine. I was gonna say that's my number one cuisine that I love so Like see we had bolognese on the boat boy and whoo Trish went crazy on that. Hey, I'm just saying bro I remember like I was sitting there and she was like I did make extra if anyone wants more Everybody else turned it down. I took some of Zo's

foods.

Trey Ballard (03:02.792)
And I was like, Trish, if you don't mind, can I get another bowl? Because I'm telling you right now, bro, don't play around with me with some Italian food, man. I'm just saying.

Speaking of YouTube, you should have showed her the clip of you talking wedding. The wedding? That's one of the most watched-

man, that was crazy.

He was like, no one else is seconds with me.

I, man, I for the first person to go back up there and I said, look, cause once everybody sits down, cool, that's your first play. Everybody got their first play, everybody's fed now. Now I don't feel bad about going back up there, but I just do need to see one more person either, you know, get up and go to the back. I just need to see somebody get some extra movement that way, you know, I'm not just a center of attention. I'm like, I'm going back. They're like.

Wes Castelhano (03:24.512)
I was raised to double back.

Trey Ballard (03:47.968)
I also want to make sure that I'm not just getting looked at like, what, what's going on here? I'm like, yeah, I'm, this is, bro, we, this is good.

Cause also too, like your first trip, you're not trying to, depending on where you are in the line, you're not trying to like take too much food. Thanks man. What an asshole, just like really just mobbed everything. So you gotta wait and let everybody get their first plate and then-

The

Trey Ballard (04:04.308)
Exactly, because then you get to go through, you get to walk through, everything that you want. I know you might have in your mind a second plate and all that extra. Cool, but you already made your first round. Exactly. So when I go back through... That's on you. Yeah, that's on you. Straight up, that's on you.

get a kill.

I get a little taste of everything at a buffet and you know what I like and then go back and just...

You're talking about like, like you're a buffet sommelier, That could be a set of things.

Wes Castelhano (04:33.302)
I would hate to see you a Chinese buffet.

call it in curb and he was like I loved your your chat and cut when you go and pretend like you know somebody like that's closer to the front and then you just like when the conversation is done you just gotta friend him Larry's like uh-uh he's like I just want to say that's a foul I completely respect the the chat and cut but you need to go back to the end

I actually fuck with the chatting. I've never done it before, but that is actually a great, I'm remember that. I've never even, because I haven't seen all of Curb Your Enthusiasm, but I can tell you this, you telling me that that is something that's in that show, I know it's A1.

Cause that's one of the things that Larry doesn't even get mad. He's like, let me just start off by saying I completely respect the chat and cut. He's like, having said that, let go back to the end of the line. Then she tries to do it again. He's like, you just did it again.

That's valid.

Wes Castelhano (05:15.331)
There

Trey Ballard (05:18.766)
And it's like you're doing it without even knowing you're doing it. Well, yeah.

no, she knew what she was doing though. Dude, I made a ton of pasta and stuff on Christmas. So good. I made two trays. I baked the chain-culled so I didn't fry them. I made two trays of that and then I made a big thing of-

Give me

I was just trying to be a little healthier because we also bought, we also bought sirloins and strips. I didn't even get to this.

That's what I'm saying. That's valid, Like, however you want to cook it, god damn it, you can grill that shit, bake it. I don't care. I'm going eat it regardless.

Matt Travaglione (05:54.552)
Come over sometime, I'll watch some football. I'll make enough for you and Zo to take some home.

because we didn't cut like anytime it's like in my community we don't call it chicken cutlets so I knew when I went to a place with Italian food and they mentioned chicken cutlets on top of my parmesan or you know right I was like nah like okay no no I'm just saying it was my first experience with it being called chicken cutlets gotcha see I was never saying even because I never yeah I never really

your first experience with it?

Trey Ballard (06:26.984)
I was just, didn't really, the terminology really didn't matter too much. Right, I need more so to taste and food.

chicken breast and pound them. I just bought chicken thighs. So tasty and I just, what are you doing?

Chicken thighs a lot. Yeah. And you know what, man? See, I normally... I you. This is the thing. I see you. I do, because we get the chicken thighs to make... I make street tacos or Zo will make a... We do chicken bowls, rice and corn, all that sort of stuff. And I'm sitting here thinking, I'm like, my goofy ass can get some pasta and make some goddamn cheese.

And then I made shrimp scampi on top of some like pasta and barrel-

Matt Travaglione (07:07.596)
But by the time I was done and sat down, everyone was just like...

Like y'all puttin' on more food.

They're like, honey, eat something. I'm like, I gotta cook. What are you talking about?

I had to ask Trish, I said Trish please stop feeding me. Really? I said please, I can't eat anymore.

Yeah, then we had, and then Vic threw in like a apple pie that she didn't make it, she just bought it, but everyone was like, the only person that wanted it was Dean's friend, know, Betty. I was like, hell no, I'm just eating the

Trey Ballard (07:28.738)
Yeah.

Trey Ballard (07:35.884)
Yeah.

Trey Ballard (07:39.502)
I think I know who Betty is. West, didn't Zo try to help Betty find a spot to you? Yeah, I know who Betty is. Yeah, she's on. Yeah. What's up? Oh yeah, but here also. So did you watch any of the quarterfinals for Conchalbone? Or just keep up with it little bit? I was saying, I didn't get to watch it all because believe it or not, fucking, can still ESPN it. I can even watch YouTube TV out there because it's not American. But did see some highlights. From what I got to see,

She's super nice.

Trey Ballard (08:06.846)
Watching well, obviously I made sure to watch the Texas game. I found a way to do that but Found a way. I made sure I watched text game but and a little bit of UNT but yeah, no, I I was very I Was not surprised with the Miami Ohio State result. I actually was telling people including my friend Jaylin shout out to Jaylin who's an Ohio State fan He's obviously in shambles still and can't believe what happened, but I told him before the game. I said, bro

Miami is built to beat a team like you. The way the conference that you play in, Caleb Downs already said it, you've only got two or three games a year that you really need to be on your A game in. And to beat a team like Ohio State, throughout history, how they're built as a team, they're built in a conference full of teams that do like to run the footballs, colder weather, a little more physicality. Them being the team that they do is recruit the way they do.

you know, try it out the teams they do, you have to be able to match said physicality in the trenches. And I said, Miami with Mario Cristobal, that's the type of coach he is. I was like, that's a matchup. Like styles make fights. You are a UFC guy. We keep up with boxing as well. you know, make fights. And going into that game, I was like, bro, they match up well with you just based on how they play. Like when it comes to teams that are gonna try to sit here and be like, you know, let's try to go.

bombs over Baghdad and throw it over, know, and I've been just saying, like, let's just try to launch this, you know, try to keep up with Ohio State. Say, go for skill. You're not gonna be able to do that with them for the most part. You gotta go punch them in the mouth early and often and make them go beat you physically.

Trey Ballard (09:49.204)
that's all good,

Trey Ballard (09:55.118)
which is crazy. That's hard, but I just didn't, I nowadays it's gonna be some shit that might get you shot. I mean, still obviously we got shot last time. Oh yeah, that was hard. When he started killing us other things, had to see, bro, hey, Mike was getting busy. I don't think people realize that, like, it ain't no disrespect. Like we know Mike was getting busy, bro. Like ain't nobody gonna sit here and deny that. It's just like, your average.

was awesome when they played it in the last day.

Trey Ballard (10:19.022)
Role player now is way better than your average role player then it's just that simple and again them dudes at the top of their crowd or you know top of the Day heat back then too like you got to be the best player in your city best player in car You know you was the guy everywhere you went to you know, it's just boy Bro you're not gonna sit here and try to tell bro if you put KB in the 90s they go that might hang him They don't be like bro. What you can't be doing this shit out here against us what you're doing

talent and then I guess.

Matt Travaglione (10:44.674)
And everyone's excuses, well, well, they would have beat him up. What?

Bro, you can't beat me up if I'm across you and you can't even touch me. Like you can't beat me Hey, come on bro. Thank you. Like you can't do- That's what I'm saying. And I'm like, it's no disrespect.

Okay cool, you're gonna fell out in the second quarter.

It's a dumbest argument.

Well, they would have knocked Steph Curry on his ass. Okay, cool. Good thing he pulls up from half court. Charles Oakey would have been like, huh?

Trey Ballard (11:08.934)
What what a Katie say in the the quarter go document and he said yeah, I'll let all that teamwork camaraderie shit cool What you trying to go until you try to got the guards step? Yeah, I'm just telling you row is a different ballgame Hey, what it what the markets cuz it's a Britney Grande. She said you be the one-on-one a BG I love you to death. Yeah, it's a different ballgame over here. It's a different ballgame

It's so weird and she goes with her deep voice. She's like, I'm let it slide.

I said look man, this is Brittany Garnier.

Who's this chick?

we got back from Russia where we could have got like two Navy SEALs back but they're like, you know what, let's just get back a good college play.

Wes Castelhano (11:35.854)
Trey Ballard (11:40.206)
You know

is that the one that got caught with weed? Yeah.

Also though they did say that she had been like they had been letting her go back and forth with it before but once we started getting into a rush of days like we're gonna make a example out of her. Look that was, that ain't had shit to do with me. I wasn't a motherfucker that got caught but I mean.

She's strange one for sure

Wes Castelhano (12:02.542)
I mean, I feel like that's like, I think that's like traveling 101. Just check your bags.

If it was mad both ways, said, I mean, I'm not the motherfucker that got arrested, so I don't really care.

I would have listened to the entire Rocky 4 soundtrack coming back from Russia. I would have been playing Hearts on Fire on repeat.

And then Roger Tepper, no easy way out.

Yeah, we do got the two NFL games today. The Panthers, if they win, they cleanse the division and are in the playoffs. Or if they lose, they also, I'm pretty sure, need the Saints to lose to the Falcons, which the Falcons are eliminated anyway, but they just need that to happen to get in. And like I said, one of my close friends, shout out to Quinn. He is in Tampa. He lives in Tampa. He's at the game, boots on the ground, him and his girlfriend. So shout out to them. Hope the Panthers win. Obviously, you know, my Cowboys are eliminated.

Trey Ballard (12:51.468)
been eliminated. Don't really give a fuck to be honest, because quite frankly, they ain't deserve to get in no way because of the way we've been playing football this season. And so, you know, as a sports junkie, I am, I will still tune in to other playoff games and whatnot. So I can't even, I can't be too mad about it. I'm honestly glad I get to just watch football.

Well, Giants play those Cowboys tomorrow though, right?

Wes, you gonna have to put the bottle down. Come on, dawg. Like, how many times on your head can you count that y'all have beat us in the past five?

I'm just saying we're playing each other tomorrow.

thought you said y'all was going, wait, I'm like, wait, you gotta put the bottle down.

Wes Castelhano (13:30.026)
After we lost Scataboo, you know?

I want to Skadaboh come limping out like bro. Yeah, like Daniel's son and Karate Kid didn't everyone just like start clapping with his little bum leg

at

Wes Castelhano (13:39.554)
What was that thing we were watching? We were watching Night's Tale the other night and we're like, yo, Scatterby would be really good at this. Just getting the fucking joust to the bass.

Scat pack man. I fuck with scat pack. No, this is the thing I saw was going on ESPN They was talking about this they made a headline that y'all tight end Theo Johnson. It was like he out for the game, but he was at the Knicks He's at the Knicks game. Yeah But I'm like also bro you ain't playing for shit whatever matter If he want to go enjoy this game, he had to play tomorrow. here

They said he had like a undisclosed eunuch

Matt Travaglione (14:09.71)
Thank but really alright.

What would Lawrence Taylor do?

First off, Lawrence Taylor was on cocaine.

He was late for warm-ups!

was on cocaine dude, was on crack.

Trey Ballard (14:20.884)
I that too.

Yeah, I was reading like he would show up to like Phil Simms house as for his golf clubs go play like nine holes and then still be late and then still have a fucking Four sacks again

Three and a half sacks and ten tackles.

Loaded in this game that you don't wanna play tomorrow? Aye, some people are gonna look at you sideways. I'm not.

No, it was a team's decision. It wasn't like him being like, I'm not playing, it was the coaches. It's not like he didn't want to No, he wanted to play. He was like, I don't understand why they're not letting me go.

Trey Ballard (14:44.492)
I'm glad because people's crowd.

Trey Ballard (14:49.26)
to let him play either. You was one of only bright spots on this team. I trust. are going, we are going.

Now they're saying there's rumors that the Giants might actually take another quarterback this year. Which is wild. I think give Jackson Dart some time, Yeah.

That was crazy that you're saying I did not know that you saying that out loud. Yeah, mom. Why would you drive another quarterback? Like the one you got yeah, yeah, why don't you worry about trying to protect him first? Let's see what he does behind an offensive line that will actually give him time to throw and make decisions Versus you looking at the bad decisions he was making because he was running for his life and be like, well Let's just go take another month. We're gonna have to do the same thing

What's I'm saying? Give him a little time to develop-

Matt Travaglione (15:27.79)
Well the thing too though like the other criticism about him is he just needs to learn to slide or write about because he likes he likes to get hit and he likes to like get aggressive

Some dudes, honestly, Archman is the same way. Some dudes, until they get that first hit of the custer, like you go out there and if you don't really touch anybody, like if you're not an offensive lineman or a tight end or anyone, running back obviously is not going to be necessarily engaging physically with a player from the beginning of the game. You want to know those people, you need to get hit to wake up a little bit.

Wasn't one of those people I knew what the fuck's going on. I was like, yeah, I have to go hit him like I already knew I don't need you to hit me first and know I'm in a football game I knew what's going on. It's like No, I don't need you to hit me first I don't need you to hit me

Eddie Murphy and Riley's like, keep that shit the fuck away from me.

Yes.

Matt Travaglione (16:14.764)
Yeah. For Jackson Dart gets it once he's like, get that shit the fuck out of here. I'm done with that.

I don't need, I didn't need you to hit me first. I looked at the scouting report. Trust me, I know exactly who I need to be watching out for. You right there in the backfield. We saw you on film. Trust. Right, hey, your shins and your knees, all of that's mine. All of that's mine, but all of this up. You know what I'm saying? I don't need, I know exactly what you on, so we don't temper that a bit. But yeah, nah, bro, you don't go draft another quarterback just to be like, well, let's provide him for some competition. Fool.

a Parsons cracksy once or like I'm gonna stay in the pocket.

Trey Ballard (16:50.03)
They couldn't block for him. You think they could block for him either?

I think I beat him to the edge. Nope! Should've s-

You must have thought you had Michael Vig. You must have thought Lamar Jackson was your quarterback. No, you cannot be into the edge. I watched you run your 40s.

Move on playoffs though. mean, playoffs are basically set. It's gonna be fun.

Yeah, bro, so Seahawks and the 49ers. Right, but see the 49ers were uniforms they were wearing tonight. They got an all black look. It's kind of hard. That's for the rivalry. It's apparently some rivalry shit that the. No, see these is. Let me see, these is these is crazy. They got the they got the black helmet with it, too.

Matt Travaglione (17:15.758)
I've worn those before.

Matt Travaglione (17:19.66)
the black ones with the red numbers? I said, I've seen those before.

Matt Travaglione (17:30.314)
I you just watched the 49ers just for they zoom in on Olivia Coppo. Who? Christian McCaffrey, his wife. let's see.

awesome.

The girl that we grew up with, she's married and McCaffrey's brother.

I guess the ODA do got the red D's right here.

Yes, I'm saying they've used those before.

Trey Ballard (17:48.256)
I ain't never seen it.

Yeah, the Dolphins

rivalry uniform or something. Yeah, see, they call it the rivalry uniform. Yeah.

Those are cool though.

Keeping up with NBA.

Trey Ballard (18:03.886)
Of course. I'm still sick of the fact that what Luke could be out there doing, you know. I mean, I can't cater to the truth, Bro, my thing is, and I feel like I said this before, even when he was on the, obviously when he was on the mass, but even after the Lakers got him, I just can't, like, I can't get past this whole,

can't the Pistons are in first place.

Trey Ballard (18:29.848)
During the play, while the play is going on, a team is running a fast break and you still bitching and complaining to the ref about a foul you think you should have gotten. Dead balls at the free throw line. Anywhere that there's a stoppage of play, let's talk to the refs.

It's even crazier like he did it after LeBron got failed or like or LeBron go call for fell like he went and talked to him

And I'm just like, they don't give a damn. Luca, like, we know you, you then all these damn step backs and, and one legged fadeaways and shit that he was doing back in the, like, all that's cool and all.

You know, JJ hates it. Me too. You know he's like sit there and he's just like this guy. I can't stand it. Then he'll make some crazy shot and be like, all right, well, at least I went in.

That's one of them times too where I'm sitting, I feel the same way. Cause then he'll hit a motherfucker with a nice little tween tween step back and drain that hole. And I'm like, that's cool and all. But when you had him beat and you can put them on your hip, I know you're not the fastest player or the most athletic player in the league. Everyone knows that. But what you're great at is being able to create enough separation to get them on your hip, go to the paint and or set your teammate up for a basket. Why are we not doing more of that?

Matt Travaglione (19:40.664)
I don't think you trust gender eating that much.

And that's cool, but when it comes to the offensive kind of fulcrum that you have kind of built yourself into being throughout your career and what you were when you were with the Mavs and all this sort of stuff, you are the person that sets up. I'd guarantee you LeBron didn't always fucking, didn't always trust Anderson Varigele and Zdronas Ueauskas, but he still made sure to set them up for the look.

He said the drunus was like his favorite teammate

Maybe because of how he was in the locker room and preparation and whatnot. But in terms of pure skill level and talent, I'm sure there's times out there on the floor where I don't know if I can trust Z. Like, it's just one of those things like you gotta get over that and you gotta realize that if you are gonna be the player that you sit here and pretended you wanted to be the first seven, eight years of your career, you gotta continue to do that and not blame the fact that, I don't trust this guy. Well, guess what?

He's out there on the floor with you and you're as great a player as you are. At certain points you gotta elevate the guys around you, period, point blank. And he showed he could do that on the Mavs at certain times, but all of a sudden it seems like now it's one out of 10 possessions. I'm like, why is he doing this?

Matt Travaglione (20:53.538)
they are coming back.

He was supposed to be out like four weeks, because it's half. So we don't want risk it with the Achilles.

Again, that's another thing too, is the three of them haven't played that much together.

Cause LeBron is like Latin. He had James Harden.

And then they had that serious play on in the head play on shit that boy. Yeah, she'll yeah, but I just It just gets on my nerves, but I you know, I'm enjoying watching, you know, some of the other teams as well I mean obviously the pisses like we said with Kay the Knicks and my son I like okay now the Knicks one shit I mean, I like fucking Jay. I like Jalen Bronson game like OG and I'm like, yes I mean, it's just a lot of they have a great

Matt Travaglione (21:23.47)
It's been fun.

Matt Travaglione (21:33.71)
They may have the most well-rounded starter.

I've in terms of how they complement each other and fit. agree. And on top of that, like, OKC is OKC. know, shade getting to it. Rock. Yeah.

It looks scary though. Look, they're young and long and then you just...

He can ever figure out a jumper. He's one of them players. I'm in Thompson if he can ever figure out a jumper he one of them guys is like if they're

they're able to keep Dillon Brooks, they would be... and I really can't stand Dillon Brooks. It's like you just need something like that on your team.

Trey Ballard (22:01.166)
No, he need that edge bro. You need as much as cuz honestly there I actually watched Dillon Brooks play when he was in high school in the EYBL and He cuz when he went to Oregon, that's what I'm saying. He Not just some sorry like he's not he's never been like

You can play like- You can shoot him or just-

Matt Travaglione (22:19.192)
We're on our test, it's just like a lockdown.

Balling. Hey, but running, I was scoring that bitch back in the day though. St. John's? Shit, Indiana and goddamn the Rockets, he was scoring that bitch. But yeah, the latter part of his career he had to lock in more on defense and it didn't provide as much offensively. He was getting to it. Yeah, he was getting to it.

When he was on

You seen his son? Yes, bro.

Yes, literally look in the face. That's it. He wanted to be look just like your dad. Yes, all they can do sound like them look like them Yeah, yeah, no, there's there's been there's been a lot of things early season like Yesterday the warrior said Draymond Steph cominga The graphic was Shae versus motherfucking Brandon presents. Yes it all hell nah How y'all gonna run from that? Okay, see smoke like that, but you know

Matt Travaglione (22:45.966)
I was just like...

Matt Travaglione (23:05.944)
They're gonna make a big trade, I think.

Warriors that's what I'm thinking. They say they've been monitoring AD but I also saw earlier in the season where they was maybe gonna do a Sabonis for Kamiga because they got a move Kamiga because they're not using him so He's a good player. needs opportunity. Exactly. He don't fit this

And he's a good player.

Matt Travaglione (23:23.47)
think can that, but coming in. And then they were talking about possibly going after Trey. Yeah, and just having him and... Like, do really want two of them though?

Try y'all.

Trey Ballard (23:30.222)
I don't like that. I don't like that for them. I think Trey needs to...

Goh is such an underrated player, just plays on Sacramento that he doesn't get enough... I mean the NBA players know but yeah.

Yeah, I think if you could get away with it, I would think that the Hawks would need... I think that they could pull off, if the Hawks could pull off Sabonis or AD and keep trading, they could be cooking with something and get up off of Riz Ashe. At make it top seeded. Yeah, and get off the number one pick. He don't fit their timeline to me in the order play style. think Sarr that went to the Wizards afternoon...

There are.

Matt Travaglione (23:51.736)
keep.

Trey Ballard (24:07.564)
He fits, and made sure, and SARS people made sure to get him to the Wizards because they knew he could go there and get his shit off. That's the number one thing you gotta do with a player like that. When you're picking guys in that high, they also gotta be able to go and get their shit off. Like, ultimately.

I feel so bad for Wizards fans. Yeah. I mean granted it outweighs because the Capitals are always in always have a solid team.

Yeah, contention. And I mean, mean, as I and the Nationals are the Nationals, but they got a good young core. The Nationals. Yeah. I talking about.

I'm not talking about Washington sports.

I mean, yeah, because we're just fans of Tibly going to be, but yeah.

Matt Travaglione (24:46.862)
I mean, they had a fun two, three years with Bradley Beal and John Wall. And then they had that, I forget that Slovakian, whatever his name was, Zuvik or whatever, forget his name. But yeah, they had a fun little run for a little bit.

John Wabba's

Yeah, Zizitz

I don't

Trey Ballard (25:17.422)
Watch that. No, I was just glad that Anthony Joshua won. praise up to Anthony Joshua. That was crazy. They did. I saw that. Yeah. I his trainer and his. thought. The people sit. people. Wasn't it? No, his his trainer and his coach. His trainer and his coach, they were with him. Yeah, they were in the front seat or in the passenger seat in the seat next to him. And apparently.

His driver got arrested.

Matt Travaglione (25:28.608)
Like two people on the front diet.

You all parked on the road.

Trey Ballard (25:46.444)
They're saying that the driver, that Anthony Joshua was originally sitting in the front, but the driver told him to move to the back because he couldn't see the rearview mirror before that. The side mirror, yeah, before they even left.

The scene was crazy. It was just all Nigerian people just taking pictures.

And he's like, yeah fucked up and when this is it was that's why I prayers up there man. That's tough to

That's really sad. Losing two of your best friends. You become an... I I don't think he was a household name. Everybody in England knew who he was.

In boxing, boxing fans, but yeah, in terms of casual, one's saying in terms of like, cause we knew who he was cause we're boxers, know, European or, know, UK people and boxing fans. we knew, but like, it's like, and so that's why I said, that's people

Matt Travaglione (26:21.422)
I was

Matt Travaglione (26:30.008)
Casual and like an iron good no there Bed I bet on Jake Paul. They're like we can beat him. I'm like

You you can't, and he...

They look like at the way and everyone is like calling Vegas back like we took get our money back

Because most people were like, yeah, because a lot of these people were the same thing as anything with Jake Paul. They're like, who is Anthony Joshua? I said, boy, look.

Gold medalist, dude, I'm everywhere champion. Good luck.

Trey Ballard (26:57.262)
Put shit to sleep.

I was watching

You got about 90 and I think Jake got like 98. mean, when it's that much like.

Well, so you can tell that they're, I found out they finally found that. You know when Jake does that fucking stupid thing. That's actually, that's a signal.

To life,

Matt Travaglione (27:13.934)
tongue thing? It's not. It's really just him when he gets hit and he's just kind of showing like the other guy like you didn't hurt me. It's the same thing like when Floyd used to get hit he would smile just like shake his head like I know exactly what you're talking about but I don't

A lot of lot of boxes do that.

You gotta keep both.

No, but they probably like good points because that's when like he looks over at like Jake's cameras like dude fuck this

this is a game out there, Like, if we boxing and you get me with a good one, bro, the number one thing I'm looking for, like, you're me, like, what you're looking for is any sort of me showing you like, that one got me. Yeah. You don't want to show like that hurt me because then, yeah, now I got you. And I'm finna just start turning up. OK. You know what mean? That's what it, no, that's really what it is. Like, you got to let your opponent know, like, you don't have any sort of mental, because that's a mental edge over you at that point. It's like they know and I could hurt you because you go into a fight not thinking.

Matt Travaglione (27:49.422)
You just

Trey Ballard (28:06.444)
that you can get hurt and stuff like that and the motherfucker hurt you, like, shh. You like, yeah, it's a rap for you now. Now that know I can touch you, you think you can, yeah, it's over.

Yeah, I don't No, no, I like that all makes sense. there there's some very good points that you could just tell.

That's what I'm saying, like for the talking heads and people that are working, like, talk about, like, conspiracy theories and stuff, like, I get it because, like, I have seen it before. Yeah, they're like, that's a signal for him not to, even in the Tyson fight, I'm like, no, that just means you got caught in the champ.

G.

Trey Ballard (28:35.502)
watch a real, yeah, you watch a real boxing match. Like when Canelo was catching, when he caught Crawford a couple times, Crawford was smiling. You gonna let him know like, hey, you might've got me right there, but I'm good. Like, know I mean? Yeah, that was a good one. That's gamesmanship. Like, okay, yeah, you got me with that one. You're like Canelo was making, you gonna make a face. Oh yeah, you know.

Face canela made face canela made when he countered that straight right canola. Yeah Doing Jake Paul to and he was on the ground. He just went wow.

He's like, the fuck? Like, the fuck?

Look, Canelo was the one that was like, I didn't see that on film. You know what mean? Like, that's what it is, bro. You didn't see that on film. And it's the same thing. It's anything in a competitive environment like that in football. It's the same sort of thing. Like, you'll see guys sitting here, jawing at each other back and forth, lining up during the play. And then one dude, you you might get pancaked afterwards. And you got a little note, like, hey, next rep. Like, you know, you got me on that one, but cool. Like, we're going go back and we're going to do it again.

Do you think Bud's gonna stay retired?

Matt Travaglione (29:34.094)
He's got no reason to come back unless the Cali Unless they throw him like Jake Paul money like yo, we'll give you a hundred million but I mean he does have like fucking eight kids, man So like what Tyreek and fully

It was just been the same man. I was in like

Trey Ballard (29:46.962)
That's why I was saying I don't see a reason for him to until you know them check that shit start to add up but that's what I was gonna say but he's always managed his money to the point where I think I think he's content. I think he'll get more into like the analytic side and you know a commentator on one of the networks or something and that sort of thing because that's just an easy way for you to just

Yes,

Matt Travaglione (30:12.803)
Sharp boxing man, I never really noticed that until I was watching this like Timothy Bradley interview

I was just gonna say he can be another, I was, I immediately thought of Tiffy Brad.

Well, but he like found him or he was one that like mm-hmm got him like because he was just I think he only had a few pro flights and they brought him in to be Timothy Bradley's sparring partner or I forget like one of his last couple fights and he was like Who is this guy like he's yeah, he's like ought to start off a little bit He got me with a shot. He's like I'll turn it up Hit him with a couple combos and then the next day Bradley like watched film on him and then he was countering that shots and he was like The dude didn't have a TV like he just came in the next day and adjusted in his round

And that's when he called someone and they're like, you're sending back home. He's like, no, I want him. Yeah. So that's how he like got it. Because people don't want to fight.

Yeah, I could see him being a Timothy Bradley type. but he's Because Bradley knows boxing. That's why, I mean, any fight that he normally comment or commentates on is always

Matt Travaglione (31:02.583)
He's a sharp dude.

Matt Travaglione (31:08.59)
Tim Bradley is good. I like red Jones. Obviously Max. I think is the best Max is just so good I don't know if Lampley does it anymore

haven't seen or heard. That's I'm saying. So it's like.

Well, cause it's a box. Showtime is gonna call up and be like, hey, Joe Tessitore, you're outta here.

Yeah, that's right. you.

Tessera is doing, he's ever, man, he's doing WWE, he's doing UFC.

Trey Ballard (31:33.263)
He's a good voice. I do. I fuck with Joe Tessitore. He's not that bad. No.

Good boy.

Matt Travaglione (31:40.078)
What else?

Vince, shut the fuck up. That's me and my friend. the fuck up. That's the way, cause like, me, my homie, I'm finna go eat at Tortoise with George. Like he's been in plenty of situations where we're arguing about supporting somebody and he'll say some shit that damn near is gonna piss him off and I'll have to, George.

Shut the fuck up and let me figure it out. We are having a conversation.

Larry David does the best, shut the fuck up.

We have that shut the fuck up. That's why actually that's actually one of our best YouTube shorts, too

Trey Ballard (33:08.078)
I actually have you, do you remember the Chappelle show episode with John Mayer on it? When they went in the barbershop and the black dude pulled the fucking blacken mouth out. He said, hey yo, shut the fuck up.

I forgot about that, they were

Yeah, all of the Latin bars

Wes Castelhano (33:54.638)

It hasn't landed anything though.

Matt Travaglione (34:13.848)
Do you not want the job anymore?

Matt Travaglione (34:18.752)
No, you wanna get fired?

He been trying, he been saying, bro, I'm not gonna resign, but if y'all could fire me, that'd be nice. And they are just like, no, Brian, you've been here since 94. We're good. We do not wanna change anything.

Every ESPN alert I get is, someone's like the Japanese stud just went to the Blue Jays.

Saw that. I said, n***a, Brian Cashman got damn GM since I was born, was, I was in my, n***a, I wasn't even born.

Wes Castelhano (35:04.238)
Alright so that trays like thank you

I'm just like sitting here like, I get every notification in the world other than one that's got our name in it. And I'm just like, I said not a trade, not nobody getting related.

It's never anything with the an-

All these Japanese stars are coming over to Blue Jays and

Where do J's get all this money from?

Trey Ballard (35:25.198)
I don't know. just signed Vladimir, they signed Bo and them. How the hell did they get all this money from? Why is it that every time I look at a motherfucking payroll sheet, the Yankees always got this much revenue coming in, but we always down there with the goddamn Orioles and the goddamn Nationals and shit when it comes to spending money. And I'm sick and tired of hearing people always talk about how much, how the Yankees do this and do that. And I'm like, well, shit, maybe I need to trade lives with your daddy there because they're the only motherfuckers that actually saw I spent some damn money. Because I ain't seen it.

$30 hot dogs and we can't get

The chicken tenders is $35 for fries and you don't even get a drink. And you won't talk to me about being cheap and not spending. See, I knew I shouldn't have got started. It's the 30th of July or January. Listen, not even, I should have even brought up baseball. It's my fault. you. That's my bad, y'all. I didn't even mean to bring that up. but, I was, man.

Cause all I hear is the Yankees disyjecting that, why ain't I seen them spending that money then? Shit, you, hell, if you just gonna give it away, then why don't you let us go over there?

was reading something, it showed all four teams from the AL East and they're like, this is who the Red Sox

Trey Ballard (36:33.614)
