LeBron Leaving LA? SGA’s $285M Deal + WNBA’s Big Moment | 7/5/25

Wes Castelhano (00:01.1)
Alright, so I'm going give you a little slappy, slappy high five.

Thank you. That's whatever. No, was for visual cues. But anyway, what's going on? Welcome back. It's another fantastic, amazing, happy Fourth of July weekend from the Strikes on the End Zones podcast with Trey Ballard, our host. He's the parmesan to our, I don't know, chicken. Yeah. Literally everything. He's the secret sauce.

What that's like saying the salsa to our

Yeah, kind of chips were they? God damn it. Anyway, he's the one that ties this all together. My God, just let me do this. What's going on, buddy?

It's like peanut butter and jelly. You know what I mean? Here we go. You can be the bread. Oh, the bread. Oh, OK. Thanks. Me and Matt will be the people.

Wes Castelhano (00:57.144)
You're the special sauce.

You know what the difference is between jelly and jam, right? Let's keep this PG.

Since when? The last thing we've ever done is made this piece.

Thank you.

Trey Ballard (01:11.182)
Yeah, that's valid. That's super valid. Yeah. What's been going on man? What's up? What's up? I'm watching sports like usual. Like since everything is, since it's only baseball right now, mean, trying to find some track and field here and there, a little bit of UFC like we talked about last time. So trying to get my fix.

What's been going on with you, man?

Well yeah.

Wes Castelhano (01:30.698)
So wherever I, the thing I sent you guys, I think it was yesterday about the Lebron.

That was a Pornhub link.

Was it? Yeah. Might as well have been because I literally understood about half of it. So what's going on? Is he talking about jumping ship?

Damn it. It might as well.

Trey Ballard (01:46.526)
No, he signed it's the summertime was you got a lot of stuff is clickbait, which it works obviously so but

I-

If he didn't sign the extension, if he went to be a free agent, then he could go to the next, but.

Well, he f***ed with last year or so. But, I mean bro, I'm not, he's not, I'm not.

but they just got DeAndre in which could be a hit or miss. mean, apparently he's a dick.

Trey Ballard (02:06.072)
I'm going go on beyond her. He's not he's unmotivated already and then you put him in a liquor jersey. That seems to put that sort of shit in the overdrive for the

Every time I see him, just looks like an anorexic Greg Oden.

Yeah, right. He just doesn't. I don't just don't think he give a fuck about the game anymore.

Yeah, I mean, I always forget he was a number one overall pick.

Yeah, yeah, I mean one of the leading number three, yeah He was he was he was that what they thought three and five back to think that was what I was Marvin Bagley doing yeah But I mean, yeah, no, I don't think I mean all these gonna go nowhere I just at this point bro Like what they were saying was when they put out the report of him wanting to monitor the situation because he still wants to win yada yada

Matt Travaglione (02:29.903)
Three of them. Was Trey Young two?

Trey Ballard (02:53.326)
That's just them trying to put some pressure on Rob Pauline could actually make some moves Which what did I say before with? He this is his job to go out here and build a championship team right around Luca and whoever else is on the team obviously man Luca But LeBron obviously since he's on the team he counts for that So I think he's just trying to get him a kick like give like to be like bro Like what do you like even if like LeBron is also saying like even if he wasn't here Do you not want to build a championship contender around your best player? Like in general, know, I mean just in general whoever it is whether it's me or anybody else like but the thing

is to like, if that's really the case. And again, I'm always been a LeBron fan, but that's really the case. He could have opted out signed a lesser contract. mean, but again, that's so easier said than done than turning around $50 million. Like, I'm just saying because, and I don't want to say like holds teams hostage every summer, but it's always like,

Seems to be a thing though.

Yeah, like he's like, I'll extend when I know the team's gonna be better and they're like, bro, you're gonna want a half a, you know what mean? Like you're gonna want 40, 50, like are you in it so we know what to do with our cap?

Yeah, we need to know what your cap is gonna look like.

Matt Travaglione (03:53.634)
You kind of got to him halfway, but I think Rob Plink has all in all done a pretty good job.

He's been all right. We just gonna see how much he what he gives up cuz he's trying to go get Andrew Wiggins right now To get that athletic wing and you know, I we gonna see what to give up cuz I was seeing somewhere It's like a Rui Dalton connect and a first rounder and I'm like I Mean I wouldn't mind him. I'm just not trying to give up that much for him Obviously, I feel like I know we're gonna have to give up one of those two But wait, I mean I'm sorry we can throw us and feel like a filler player versus one of like we got to keep either Rui or Dalton and then the first rounder you can have I mean

Andrew begins being a good pick.

Trey Ballard (04:29.326)
That's gonna come with it, but I don't know. I don't feel like I should give up those two guys for Andrew Wiggins at this point, but we'll see.

Yeah, I mean they're saying the Durant trade is like gonna like they're adding like four more teams. So it's gonna be seven. or something

I saw that, which I think I saw where for the Lakers part, it was mainly just them being able to acquire their draft pick that they got in the second round. But other than that, yeah, I think there's a couple of other teams that it could.

I'm almost as curious about what Yannis is gonna do, man.

Yeah, cuz that's still kinda well, I mean, apparently he likes the mouse turner moves.

Matt Travaglione (05:00.234)
I give you that Pumdo Mouse turn right there.

I was a little skeptical, I was like, really?

And then they were saying, like, how can you do it to the Pacers? I'm like, dude, they blare out. I'm like, I would have done.

And they lowballed the shit out of him. I think they said they offered him like three years 80

Yeah, and you got what was it? got a hundred plus.

Trey Ballard (05:18.926)
Yeah, he got a new place.

Well, speaking of contracts, let's talk about SGA's. 285 million.

man.

leave Indiana go to Milwaukee they're like it's kind of like

And also West yeah a lot of people been talking about how he's probably had the best year of anyone in the world He might have a year ever SGA like you go from MVP Yeah fucking Tarzan's father scoring title MVP conference finals MVP finals MVP record-setting contract He gets over 70 million year like I can't name too many years a singular person has had has been better than that

Wes Castelhano (05:35.694)
I'm he deserves it.

Matt Travaglione (05:58.412)
All just assign Paul George.

Is that bad?

I mean, in hindsight, in the time, bro, you got to think because remember, they broke it down to where you was actually getting Kawhi and Paul George for that package. But it obviously was mainly Paul George. But since Kawhi said he wasn't going to go there unless they got Paul George, you pretty much got it was a huge package. Like at the time, it looked like it was crazy because for one player, technically, but it also technically wasn't. So it was just like, well,

that he was also like he had leverage because Maddick was trying to bring him to the Lakers so he was like if you don't just do this I'm going next door and I'm gonna be with LeBron and

And he was trying to fight it any like like Kawhi he was trying to fight it anyway Yeah, he was he really wanted to be in LA and if he really didn't want to do the Lakers and build the team with LeBron and AD but he was like I want to be at home that bad

Matt Travaglione (06:49.667)
from what I remember he wanted to be on the Clippers. He didn't want to team with the Burbs.

That's what I'm saying. He wanted like if the Clippers didn't weren't able to make that move he would like again He didn't want to go to the Lakers because you know, he wanted to go against LeBron But that's what he wanted to be at home that bad. That's what I'm yeah, I was in the end for a second team

The could have been higher either. He just came off one of the finals.

Matt Travaglione (07:07.702)
Such a another one of those like what ifs to even though he does have two rings and two finals MVP's like if he doesn't have that Just all those leg issues and everything. Mm-hmm Or if he stayed with San Antonio and just like got all that BS behind that around him

I'll be an actor.

Trey Ballard (07:22.424)
That would have been so crazy

At least four more years of-

Easily easily, bro

Yeah, because they still, I mean, they still had a solid team when he left, but then they saw him leave and then Tony Parker was like, I guess I'm going to Charlotte.

Going to Charlotte like he's just sitting. I'm sure he was just like I'm really finna just go keep playing this game that I love. Yeah

Matt Travaglione (07:45.294)
just gonna make some money in Charlotte.

Apparently Russ it hadn't been confirmed but they some about on Jeff T's podcast that Russ got offered a Like a two-year like 150 million dollar deal overseas Money in like Tel Aviv and that man Jeff T was like shit. Hey, if he don't want to go out Can we split it 50-50 I'll go seriously if y'all need American former officers. You just need to promote some shit I'll do it for 150 m's. He's like look I'll leave my family behind for

He got off.

Matt Travaglione (08:14.33)
a jeff t needs to be on a bigger platform. He's so funny, man But the stuff that comes out of his mouth because he's like focus they say a b a insider But he's one of the guys he like tells like they behind us like behind the scenes stories and stuff

And like, you know, they from Indianapolis, so like it's like

When he pushed LeBron into the stands and he was like, he was like, know how fucked up he dropped 30 on me after that. Right.

I was tripping bro. Remember he said, he said, that's why I had to get off the internet. He said, that's why he said I got the messages. He's like, if he had got hurt, I would have killed you bitch. That's what he was saying. Shout out to Jeff Nambi and DJ Moog and Malcolm. Man, shout out all y'all. Eventually, man, we're going to be able to come alive on some shit, bro. That's hilarious.

You

Matt Travaglione (08:55.264)
He's so f***ed. Yeah, so Miles Turner, who else? Bane just messed up his toe. He's got turf toe now after his first day after signing. No, doesn't Bane.

Yeah.

Trey Ballard (09:05.218)
Who, Triple J?

That was Jerry Jack

Let me look it up. Yeah. You call it turf though. Is that what you call it?

Thought it was Jen Jackson cuz he just signed He just signed and he got it and he might have to get surgery and shit Which is so crazy to me because him miles Turner like for being as big as they are How you only averaging six and seven rebounds a game? Goddamn, that's what Josh Giddy average

Yeah.

Wes Castelhano (09:35.982)
Again, for the uninitiated, Josh Giddy is... You're seven foot. that's it. that's it. I'm saying Josh Giddy is you.

he play on the bulls bro. He's this dude. He was the dude. I got accused of what underage underage girl that lied that

college too like he he could play yeah I think he was only a thunder for a year or two and then yeah he got in trouble for allegedly like diddling some teenagers

Well, it did come out, they lied about the A-Storm, but you saw the shit with Wanda Franco. He actually got convicted. And the mom was in on that. Man, did he out, He sent us in October, he beat the big charges. I mean, I was calling for it. I said, if the stuff is true,

Speaking of diddlers...

Wes Castelhano (10:12.568)
I'm

Wes Castelhano (10:16.63)
It's jail.

Trey Ballard (10:25.826)
Throw him under the jail, but if it ain't true, can't I mean shit if that ain't if they don't rule

He's disgusting human, but...

It was not a Rico You gotta see the videos of these people actually just like they don't and Johnson all over each other

Bro, I'm not playing.

How many pornos do you think are already out by now?

Trey Ballard (10:47.431)
It's finna be about the streets, It's the middle of the summer, bro. The streets is finna be hectic. Dude, I think the streets is finna be hectic.

Last time when I told you that he had he filmed a porn with a guy wearing a wearing a Jordan jersey he had a check the guy and a girl fucking where it's crazy

Yeah, where does

Trey Ballard (11:06.956)
like

We're crazy for Diddy out, man. I can't even cap.

And then 50 Cent said he's the gay Teflon Don.

It's so crazy so

Wait, what? He said he's the gay Teflon Don?

Matt Travaglione (11:26.71)
said he's the gay John Gotti. He's like he's dodging the feds again.

Nothing sticks except

Wes Castelhano (11:35.758)
Well, no, multiple levels. Nothing sticks to him because of all the baby oil too.

Yeah, that's true.

Right? That's Lickle Wesley with the zinger. Yeah.

I know, just saying it works on multiple levels. That's what I do.

You have the big brain on, bruh.

Trey Ballard (11:47.63)
Nice little one-liners.

I know right? So he basically beat the man act. So what we were talking about, it's funny that they charged him for having sex with a prostitute outside the place where they're from. So that was like the trafficking.

Which he beat the beat the

Matt Travaglione (12:09.454)
That's like where the purchase or transaction goes through your nuts across states.

So that was a it's an extension of the man act what they've got Jack Johnson the boxer with back in 1910 because I remember seeing this because he was fucking this white prostitute. Oh, he traveled across state lines. So they use this act to It's basically it's supposed to be a sex trafficking but they put it to word like oh you paid for a prostitute and then he crossed state lines there that was but I'm like the way you guys make it sound is that

The prostitutes okay, just don't bring it over state lines. You fuck our... That's real though. You gotta pump that money back into the economy.

Bitches.

That's what you saying the other day, they're like leave Manhattan, they're like no!

Trey Ballard (12:52.366)
Oh, I mean, I don't know that I don't know the intricacies of prostitution, but that was pretty much what it is.

Alright.

Wes Castelhano (13:02.894)
Yeah, it just to me is just funny because it's like, dude, you know, we got we're trying to like, keep our hookers safe and have them pump money and come back into the into the system, you You know. Got to keep them safe. If we're going to kill them, we'll let our people kill them. OK, like, know, that's that's a Dallas bitch right there. What are you doing? Cross state lines.

I mean, that's really much, that's pretty much.

I keep them safe.

Man.

Trey Ballard (13:25.024)
That's pretty much that's that's that's really

You know Cassie's crying at home like Woody Harrelson in Zombieland, which is hundreds just like.

You

She said that sediment wasn't I saw that video, and I mean, again, it's one of those things, there's two sides to the coin where they always are like, when you're in a situation like that, just leave, obviously it's hard. then obviously the people that- was trying to get on the elevator and caught I'm about to say, and then the people that say, know, she was trying, and she was, I mean, we all saw the video. just, that one-

No, nothing could be

Trey Ballard (14:00.942)
And that's just one particular instance that was caught on camera. But honestly, it's one of those situations though, you can't help but think, if that was what they caught on camera, what about the stuff that you didn't see on camera? He didn't even give a fuck if his chick came out. While he was grabbing her shit and her to take her back down the hallway. That's crazy.

towel imagine if he was in some strong

Wes Castelhano (14:25.762)
Crankhunter, yeah.

Bren, take that, take that.

Matt Travaglione (14:32.783)
On the Hallows until I Need a Girl Part 2? Man. Yeah.

Always just always just laugh that that his like apology video quote I say that in quotes because he never Said I'm sorry. I fucked up And he's like I fucked up

He's like on a cabana or something. Cause like, remember it was like four days before he was like, this is, he's like, I can't wait to prove everybody or not show everybody like that. I have good intentions. Then he came out and he was like, all right, here's the thing.

Yeah, I fucked up. The deal's this.

I mean, yeah, I keep it a bandit. Yeah. All right, so this has went down

Matt Travaglione (15:04.396)
He's like, be nice to your females, go out, get some sorok, take them out tonight.

I forgot that's how he really made his money was with Siroc and yeah, it wasn't really the music producer part Back in the 90s

Sean, Sean,

mean, he did a lot of big songs.

Yes. boys bro. Wreck or company? Bad boys.

Matt Travaglione (15:20.718)
Bad boys everything. But, and then he did, I mean, he worked with so many artists.

Yeah, but he lost that minus touch, kind of dropped, you would say.

Yeah, just because he wanted to be the star and they're like no man just in the

And remember when Suge Knight was like, come to Death Row if you don't want people all in your video. Someone shot Sip Puff. And then what did Biggie's mom say in the movie, in Notorious? Who names himself Puffy? Never forget that line in that movie because I was too young to be watching it, but I remember that line. Who names himself Puffy?

There you go.

Matt Travaglione (15:53.804)
movie was so it was I won't say it was bad no I feel like they could have done a better like the all eyes on me Tupac won I was just like what are you

I didn't even watch that. I saw the trailer and I was like, I'm out. I know, that's what I'm saying. I was like, don't.

They just force that.

Yeah, cause like once straight out of Compton came out like, all right, cause what? Yeah, cause it was done right.

Straight outta Compton was great.

Trey Ballard (16:13.39)
Cause was all eyes on me, was that not, was that not, was that before or after the Tupac hologram shit out there in California at that concert? That's what saying, but that started a lot of that Tupac shit coming back. But that's what I'm saying, remember that started a whole avalanche of people doing Tupac shit, you remember?

I cook

Matt Travaglione (16:25.496)
They came out in like 2015

Matt Travaglione (16:33.118)
He's like hell. He's a I saw two poxacore

Yeah. For years. Right. And everybody kept trying to capitalize on two parts here. 12 minutes. But it was.

Yeah, it was just like bad acting. They just cast that dude cuz he looked like him He was on like Jimmy Kimmel and he was like, yeah, it's like my dad used to produce for Tupac and everyone was like I think he was banging your mom, right?

That's exactly what it was.

Wes Castelhano (16:52.216)
Did what?

Matt Travaglione (16:59.02)
Seriously, no they actually, I think they actually did. I think he's good.

What was the movie? Was it He Got Game? No, not He Got Game. With, that Tupac was in?

and above the rim and Jews.

Yeah, was gonna say just watch above the rim that feels more like a two-pock what's that? Yeah, I was gonna say that's

Above the rim. Above the grew up on him. He has one of Chippawks best songs ever.

Trey Ballard (17:17.25)
Yeah

Trey Ballard (17:22.862)
Peace out.

That's I think that's best song in the soundtrack. You can say, but

No, no, I'm with you. I'm just writing down literally mark that I'm going to do a little cameo song in that.

Listen to pain later. yeah box song

Matt Travaglione (17:38.99)
Thomas Shepard goes out there and khakis and bucks and they're throwing elbows and he still drops 15 in 10 minutes, right?

I mean,

How can you get nutso?

How can you get? to him. Talk fucking to him.

Dude, Above The Room was so good. Kyle Watson was Alan Irofis and Stuff on a Marbury before they were. If you go back and watch that, like the moves he's doing and stuff.

Wes Castelhano (17:57.046)
I mean, it's no blue chip.

Wes Castelhano (18:05.378)
Yeah, that's what that was fun watching like, it wasn't 30 for 30 with and one watching all those guys.

man, had the M1, I had some of the M1 tapes in the VHS back in the day bro. The M1 was crazy.

I used to love those shirts. Yeah, fucking no fear shirts.

Or when we play, I think it was JV. They made us, for some reason, they made us all get the same shoes. Right. they picked, yeah, and they made us get N1s. And I remember they were the most uncomfortable things ever. My pinky, like my sock was like Kurt Schilling's after every practice. It was disgusting. Yeah.

I am home.

Wes Castelhano (18:41.343)
They look cool, but yeah.

Like the outside were cool stuff just the inside was just yeah

Yeah, built for performance. Yeah. So.

Like John Rambeau's like dipping his hands shit. Glad.

Alright man, that's a brief shit.

Wes Castelhano (18:57.408)
It wasn't in hot shots where he has where he's doing that, but he's

Yeah, he's like making a sundae.

Yeah, nah, that was crazy.

So, I was going to say, another big thing in speaking of basketball, Caitlin Carr calls out WNBA pay after commissioners cup win. she said Indiana fever, Sarkeet, even while sidelined by injury use the spotlight of her teams.

Hey, right, I mean.

Trey Ballard (19:23.968)
They gotta keep doing speaking out, but bro like you can't fund you can't fund it without any fun

Yeah, she criticized the pay structure.

Matt Travaglione (19:30.766)
If I'm her people, I'm just like, shh, like you're gonna make so much money. like, keep shut. Just keep me in the face.

What the fuck?

And just keep, be patient. The game is growing. People like, if you look from a couple years ago at these games to where they are now, it's night and day. Just keep grinding though. can't, like, it's not going to be an overnight process.

Like I want to punch her in the face. He's complaining about pay right now We got paid like kindergarten teachers like

It's an overnight, it's not an overnight process. Like it's just how it goes sometimes. different, like comparison, but for college athletes previously, like now they're getting paid guys in the eighties, nineties, you know, early, like they weren't getting paid. It is what it is. It's just kind of the role you got to take on and trying to leave it better than where you found it. Where you got into, you know what mean? It's just what it is. 20,000 people watching y'all's games, man. Dude, I got on.

Matt Travaglione (20:15.118)
I mean it looks see product is a lot better

Wes Castelhano (20:22.382)
The Dallas wings the WNBA are paid for here they sold out. Yeah last Friday. Yeah. Yeah, they sold out American Airlines

I telling less the other day I was like because he was asking like, know, like what's her deal? Good as she knows like bro. She didn't tear ACL. Well, she could have she probably was a whole thing on her and ESPN like when she was coming to high school, dude, she's I don't say she's just as good as Kate and Claire because you're couple years behind her but she can play

He

It's just

Trey Ballard (20:46.934)
the truth

Yeah, I was just saying, like, just can't believe when you guys have been calling it for the past two months, like women's sports, you've been calling it, you guys have been calling it for the past two months, like women's sports, but especially like the fact to sell out American airlines. I'm not saying it's not.

They nice bro. Women's game, they getting nice. They for real getting like, they finna start cooking for real. Like it's getting to that point, like athleticism is catching up. Just the modern, you know, the way athletes are now bro and it's helping.

Even my Jersey girl Liv Morgan from WWE, man. She's the best.

Oh man, she cold bro. She cold. Like I was saying bro, wrestling. I'm not playing bro. Women's wrestlers, what are you doing this type of shit? Bro, they're going crazy. They going crazy. You think this a joke, They out there doing some shit I ain't never seen before. like Trish wasn't doing no shit like that. Trish wasn't doing no shit like that. was like, she was out there trying to look pretty. These hoes looking pretty and they doing back flips on people. Yes bro, it's crazy.

Matt Travaglione (21:29.71)
I'm just like this guy

Matt Travaglione (21:36.642)
Right.

Matt Travaglione (21:41.998)
Girls are like, Libby Dunn doing it.

Yeah, so what would tray what what what makes you say that like what is like the move that you saw that really? Was like oh fuck how did you do?

Everything bro. It's just like watching a gymnast in a wrestling ring, bro. That's like I'm not even kidding. Like you just athleticism on this

busted out the razor's edge the other day from razor amon when he would just put you on top and yeah

Yeah, you're picking his mouth. There's so many motherfuckers that would not even dare do some shit like that in 2000s.

Matt Travaglione (22:09.816)
Wes is cracking up because I'm dropping all his wrestling knowledge.

None of the women none of the women's roster would have did nothing like that back in 2000s bro. Yeah exactly bro. It was was good it was crazy whenever they would like hit a bit hard like that was it that was exciting.

Also there were the Divas. It was the women's champ.

Wes Castelhano (22:27.502)
Oh you just heard like a little slap or-

That's when like Stephanie would come out just like when she was in and they're like, alright Shane like tongue kiss your sister and pass it on

like for real. Like it was some nut shit, bro. Now they actually have storylines and whatnot with the women's game. Like a lot of the women's shit before was just like mainly, like obviously, you know, we got to live with dom. But mainly that's what it was back in the day. was stuff to do, it was beefing with the dude, you know, with stuff they had to with the dudes. Now they have their own storyline.

Like who's the macho man?

He's so funny man. Dirty Don. He always calls his dad Ray Mysterio the deadbeat dad. Yeah. And they're like, he was doing some interview and someone was like, so what's your father's best something like this? And he was like, which one? Because he always claims that Eddie Greiro is his real dad. Which is why he has the mullet and the mustache and everything. Right, He does the frog splash. Yeah. He's hilarious.

Trey Ballard (23:21.058)
Right,

I just, I, I like, knew you liked wrestling, but I didn't know like you that into it.

loved it when I was like in my probably up and through like middle school and into watching high school college or anything. I just got back into it like three years ago.

I had the ring, had everything, but I had the rock, the coat, I had my favorite.

I was a macho man and still cold. I think I just got tired of people doing the DDT.

Matt Travaglione (23:45.282)
Ludline thing.

Nah, bro, we were WWE versus Raw and shit. Before y'all, was getting hectic. It was so many controllers, bro, because then they got choked slam through a table out of nowhere.

WrestleMania 2000.

Yeah.

Matt Travaglione (24:00.91)
We can set up our science fair boards just to powerbomb each other into it.

Matt Travaglione (24:09.934)

Wes Castelhano (26:03.63)
okay, so let's see his name's cn punk his real name is philip jack brooks. Yeah. All right

Yeah, he's in this like weird horror movie where he like hooks up with this girl who's like the neighbor I don't know how many movies he could be in dude

Revival? No, that's a series. Well, no, he's in a lot of series, but I don't see anything. Rabid?

I'm pretty sure I to razz you for it Whatever if it's movie where he bangs young girl and monsters come out of a wall, that's it It's like the stupidest plot ever. But yeah, he was in that cuz he left for a while He he left them and he like walked out and then he went to AEW but he's been gone for 13 years and just came back like

Yeah, because he hit all this just to go back for a while.

Matt Travaglione (26:45.582)
He was the guy. mean, I didn't ever like that's part where I wasn't watching that time period But yeah, apparently he was like him and Cena like where the guys in Orton. I love Randy Orton

One of my old co-workers, Hunter, still fucks rest like super duper.

It's entertaining me and West watched it Saturday morning because they're there in Saudi Arabia I watched it and glued his eyelids open so he had to yeah

yeah, was...

Wes Castelhano (27:09.814)
Like I felt like I was fucking clockwork orange. No, no, I

It's not that bad. It was entertaining.

in the Saudi Arabia. I'm pretty sure is that not? No, I thought that was where the fight night was at. No, there's a fight in Tennessee. Yeah, I'm just not. No, Porynium is in the world. Yeah, that's what there's. Oh, there's a fight now on the 26th that's in Abu Dhabi.

Louisiana.

Wes Castelhano (27:34.708)
who like boxing fight or.

I'm just not at the upcoming schedule.

Yeah, you see our favorite guy Jake Paul now qualifies, right? For the

even know if that's true. I I saw the headline but...

So going off of CNN.

Matt Travaglione (27:48.878)
He's fought one rank, or not one rank, like, also, he hasn't fought one ranked person, but he hasn't fought a legitimate-

So this is from CNN Sports, so somewhat.

He found some loophole, I believe, where if you'd fight enough fights in the weight class and beat guys, like, yeah, but he's not ranked.

Yeah, because he's he's at number 14 in the latest edition of its rankings W

Well technically everybody's right, but when ranking your At least in your division. Yeah. Yeah, like I'm ranked. I'm 1 millionth and 10

Trey Ballard (28:12.44)
You need to be top.

Matt Travaglione (28:23.694)
Yeah, and think everyone, I didn't watch that, but I'm pretty sure everybody saw that was going to go the way it goes, but I don't think anyone really cares about boxing until September.

Yeah, exactly. Also, there is a early line out right now already for UFC 319, DuPresia, Chimaya, and Kamzat. And Kamzat is a minus 180 favorite right now. Really? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm over here. I was just trying to look and just like see.

Like he just keeps getting overlooked, man. I mean, Cosmos is a beast, dude. Like what he did to Robert Whitaker and what he did to... I mean, I will say this though, Usman gave him a good fight on two, three weeks notice before he... I think that was the last fight he had before he won his last one. But yeah, I mean, he's still... It's going to be a good fight, dude. I'm excited for that because they've been building him up for a while.

That'd be crazy. Yeah.

But I'm excited to see, dude, I hope the UFC gets, I don't say selfish, but impatient and just books Patty versus Toporia.

Trey Ballard (29:29.742)
Yeah, got to like just skip over the qualifier for Patty. Right, you lose a little bit of the lust. Yeah, Patty's going to bring.

Because if Gagey wins, then you kind of lose that.

And then Gagey gets what is third, fourth title fight. again, it's kind of the whole of everything in party. Like how many times, I get it, like the three or four biggest names in the division, but you got these two young guys.

Yeah, they're ready for their shot to try to, you know, establish themselves.

It's close, like you do it in either Wembley or do it in Spain, because I think I was reading UFC's never done one in Spain. so either do it in Spain or do it in Wembley, because Topori doesn't give a shit. No. Like he'll go wherever. His entrance song was awesome, too. Yeah. That was the Matador thing. That was really cool. Let's say for argument's sake, it's even close. Then you do a next one of Knockout, then you do a Trillake. Bro, those are two of the biggest stars right now.

Trey Ballard (29:58.927)
that would be crazy.

Trey Ballard (30:18.702)
They're doing no cha UFC in San Antonio. I didn't know that for Hispanic Heritage Month in September. They're doing it in San Antonio this year. That's crazy. I didn't know that That it's crazy. Actually, I didn't even think about that. Oh Fuck I won't be able to go I'll be at a wedding I mean it's in Texas and Carol

I'll be down for that.

Wes Castelhano (30:34.028)
LAME

cake.

Ha

We're in Texas. Dude, that's 20 minutes. Might as well be.

But yeah, I guess that's what I'm saying, man. I just think they should start. And obviously, Danny White knows what he's doing. He's arguably the best promoter ever next to my boy, Vince McMahon.

Wes Castelhano (30:58.2)
Really? You're gonna say Vince? I did. No, your boy.

Dude, look at what-

Yeah, yeah

He's a f***ing f***ing f***ing boy, am I talking about like him? Yeah.

I was like the guy's a piece of shit

Trey Ballard (31:10.222)
He is a fucking piece of shit.

Yeah, no he's

Yeah, he tried to be like all humanized on that Netflix documentary.

When I was like kiss your brother when he When they were doing the whole thing when her because her and triple-h her husband Paul of egg who runs the creative now Back then like before they actually like got together in real life. They there was a storyline with them, right? And then the storyline was gonna be she gets pregnant and then Vince pitched what if we make it my kid and they were like

What?

Wes Castelhano (31:40.652)
No, dude.

They were like, you're wild and wild.

that's like, get stiff and he's

Yeah. You're you're wild and wild and wild.

They did do like a date rape thing of how they got married apparently like triple the f***? This storyline triple H like she was supposed to get married to somebody and then he gets her like drugs or champagne or something puts her in a convertible in Vegas and like brings it to one of those like quick things in Vegas so they had some stuff crazy back then but anyway

Wes Castelhano (31:54.114)
Fuck!

Trey Ballard (32:09.026)
Yeah, wrestling back in the day was nuts, bro. We ain't had no biz, like as young as I was seeing this shit and not realizing what the fuck was going on.

Well that's what that's why the South Park one is so good. just just had just had abortion I just got addicted to abortions. I've had so many she's had seven abortions. She's not even 12

Oh, there he goes. But anyways, back to UFC. think they pushed that. No, I'm good.

Lord.

Wes Castelhano (32:36.046)
You don't want to talk abortions?

We got to leave that alone. Nah bro, we gonna leave that one alone. We gonna leave that one alone, Brody.

Definitely not looking at your history now. Yeah.

Prayer's gonna come back and then we gotta see what they do with John Jones if they're gonna, again, if he's gonna wait and see what happens with Tom Aspel.

Because I think he's supposed to Ghani right? That's what sucks about the heavyweight and really in both sports in boxing and UFC it just gets tougher and tougher for guys that big.

Matt Travaglione (33:01.676)
I mean,

Matt Travaglione (33:12.576)
Yeah, I mean, but that's the thing, man. It's just generations too, because you think like late 90s. They had like Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Holyfield Foreman, Michael Moore, like they had so many heavyweights back then.

Yeah, I

Matt Travaglione (33:27.456)
And then it went back to the middle weights. that's when Oscar was the big guy and then Chavez Jr. and then Floyd came up. it just comes in waves. yeah, the UFC, again, they used to have the UFC division or the heavyweight division used to be it. now again, kind of same thing, went to 155 for those years where Poirier, Conor, Olivera, Islam, Khabib, mean, he just... So it's interesting.

Keep the name in peace. Yeah, cause literally the only thing I'm seeing coming up next for fighting boxing wise is Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano, Shaker Stevenson. Both of those are going to be next weekend. Manny Pacquiao the weekend after that. Then you got the heavyweight Alexander Yusek and Daniel Dubois for titles on the night.

I could see Yuzik retiring if he wins. Or if they just throw some stupid money at Fieri for another one because he claims he wants to come back.

I think he wants to play Jake Paul.

that money bro and then Alvarez

Matt Travaglione (34:30.734)
The brakes up like that would thank you. They would sanction it

I think he would have to wait a little bit because he's still in too good of shape to do that right now.

Jake's what, 27, 26? He's probably 10 years older than him or something. So he'd still beat him with one arm.

So what was I going to say? So I feel like we got to ask Trey this one question. The question I asked you in the car on the way over here. So Trey, I really want you to think hard about this one. This is a real... No, it's an awesome question.

All right, I was like all these and take a shirt off man

Wes Castelhano (35:05.716)
I mean, cameras are rolling. Trey's like, yeah, especially now, dude. He's like, pop, pop, pop. All right.

I wish. Not there yet.

Okay, so it is the game aside Super Bowl, right? Yeah. Forrest Gump wants to go home and Bobby Boucher thinks Forrest said something about his mama. Who's the Who's the winner?

winning that is winning one on one

I my opinion, but I'm curious to see what yours is.

Trey Ballard (35:32.524)
who's winning one on one.

So if Forest is running the kick return, it's just Bobby Boucher and him.

Not necessarily one on one, like, who do you think's like if they come?

Yeah, like if it comes to one on one in the hole, mean just in the hole is what I'm saying.

No, well, he has to catch four. So I don't think I think if it's like open field just one on one

Trey Ballard (35:50.752)
Okay, wait. Yeah, so he has to catch him

Bully, is Bobby Boushey gonna tackle?

Like is he gonna make the play is what you're saying. Or score gonna get by him and just book it down?

yeah. mean, I would probably go with Bobby Boucher because Forrest didn't really have a whole lot of wiggle. He has straight line speed, but he really have a whole lot of wiggle. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Once he get going. Yeah. He wanted to do is like once he that's why he's preparing for kick return because he's like Josh, like you see those guys that once you get going, like you mostly got to go straight. You know, you've gone. You know, have a whole lot of with he run this way. Yeah. So he don't he have a whole lot of wiggle to want to make nobody miss.

Yeah, tech mobile.

Matt Travaglione (36:22.242)
He's just like...

Yeah, that's what I in the car. was like, I don't know, man. was like, if it's just them, but like, if you bring his mom into it.

Yeah, he might

Well, wait, but force could actually you know, he is very linear but remember when he told the turn he does like a hard 90

Let me throw a curveball to you. Yeah, what if Bobby says something about forest mama? No, no, we got something good

Wes Castelhano (36:43.278)
I mean he did jump off a boat immediately when it's like for his mom is sick and he just jumped off the boat and swam immediately And he did drag seven guys In Vietnam, that's all I'm saying. I'm just playing devil's advocate

Yeah. And he was like...

Trey Ballard (36:57.198)
That's That's valid. just, mean, like I said, Forrest just ain't got a whole lot of wiggle in his game. I mean, the straight line, like, I mean, if Bobby Boucher takes the wrong angle, Forrest is gonna, I mean, it's over with, you know I mean? He's gonna take that to the crib. if, you know, if he takes, it just all depends on the angle that Bobby gonna take, man. Cause once Forrest gets it going, he got them strides, bro, from a distance. It don't look like he moving fast until you get close and then he right by you and you just like,

I just think if Bobby was in Vietnam, the war would have been over in three days. I he would have been like the big tall blue guy.

They might have money. He would have been he would have. Dr. Manhattan. He would have said they would have. Oh, another language. He said, I don't even understand what you're saying, but you got me fucked up, bro. Dr. Manhattan. Great. I don't realize.

hanging everywhere.

You

Matt Travaglione (37:39.778)
You got me.

Light logic

I'll see you next time.

My grandma bought me that movie on DVD. I watched that movie like all the time

I saw it in theaters. when the series was better than

Trey Ballard (37:54.222)
Is it mainly following Roy Shack?

It's mainly following, what's her name, something Washington. She's been in so much stuff, I'll look it up. But it mainly follows her and she plays the daughter of someone, but it follows Worshack and it follows, it's got so many different storylines, you have to see it. But it starts off taking place back in slave days and stuff like that, so they tie that in and then.

Mr. or Dr Manhattan's in it too, but I don't want to give it away, but there's a twist with that as well. So it, it all builds up, but everyone for the most part is in it.

He's a crazy character.

I mean if you like blue penis, then that's the way to go. That's all I can stare at. I'm sorry. That was like overtook the fucking screen. I'm like why? Yeah, why is this happening?

Trey Ballard (38:50.169)
He did a lot of he does a lot of cool shit that's There's a whole lot of I was like that's what you took from that

gonna bother me now I gotta look this up. Blue penis I mean talking about that.

Wes Castelhano (39:01.166)
Yep, 100%. So your answer is Bobby Boucher.

I'm gonna say Bobby just because like I said, I'm assuming he take the right angle and if he does he gonna close the deal but if he don't...

Regina King. That's who it is.

Well, somebody just threw a curve ball into it. What if Shane Falco is the quarterback?

Matt Travaglione (39:23.598)
They're going to the championship. Yeah, see that thing where they the Ravens actually ask Keanu Reeves to come try out for the team because he threw the ball so naturally and so well in the replacements

I read that. Yeah, dude, that's fucking nuts and I believe it too. Yeah. Yeah, cuz he's awesome. It's Keanu Reeves. He's also Duke Kaboom in Toy Story. Yeah.

John Wick.

Matt Travaglione (39:42.702)
I can just keep going, but.

Wes Castelhano (39:47.406)
Alright guys, this was a pleasure. hit our 40 mark. Trey's gotta go out to the lake. You got the fresh fade, you got the 4th of July fade. You're looking good. You look real good, man. Don't make all the girls...

I ain't

Trey Ballard (40:00.43)
Man, look, chill out.

Hahaha

All right, guys, it's a pleasure as always. We'll see you next week.
