Hello, audio listeners. Happy Monday to you. This isn't sexy, Bo. This is, uh, hello, audio listeners. No, but it's like Monday morning, Bo. Charlie Kohler. They don't know what that means. I don't think they get the premise of you doing that. You don't think that the people who subscribe to our audio feed who are getting this shove down their throats as extra content are aware of your fascination and the show fascination with Charlie Kohler. The fact that you're doing it ASMR style. Well, if they've listened to one of these before, they understand it. That you try to put on, treat your, treat your audience with respect. That's our audience. Yeah. Don't treat them like they're broken feelings. Blazing started. All right, you have a couple of things you've just been itching to get off your chest. Yeah, I thought a fun, a fun conceit for this would be to, you know, we both have things that we probably feel strongly about over the weekend. Non-eagles relate to yourself. I've got at least two. I've got one. Okay. First one for me is actually a sports take.

They're both sports takes. We need robots on the world baseball classic pronto. I spent like three and a half hours watching that game last night. Really enjoyed it. Unbelievable that it ended that was so stupid. It's such a great game. You know, like the the quality of both teams, you know, like guys are doing cool things for it to end with like just terrible strikes and balls. Not even close. Yeah. I feel like it invalidates the whole game, you know, like not not invalidates and like the result is now tainted, but just like it would have been nice to have the game not go down to like an umpire making a bad call, you know. Yeah, this is a very tepid tick. Yeah, I'm just disappointed. I needed to express my disappointment. Okay. Yeah, that sucks. Everybody thinks that sucks. It's terrible. Yeah. Okay. And there was a bad call in the eighth inning too. Yeah. No, there were several bad calls. I it was a great game. I wish that I didn't I wish I could not have. I mean, it was to the point that it was as if Rob Manford had orchestrated the whole thing as viral

marketing for the for ABS. Well, you know, it is like in soccer. They'll I think they try to make sure that the nationalities for the referees aren't the same as the country's playing. Yeah. Maybe that's something for them to consider. Also, they should have done better with the name. I mean, it's either it's either abs, which okay. Yeah, I guess that's fine. But I mean, ABS sounds like I mean, it's anti awesome battle syndrome. It sounds like a braking system. I think that's what it is in your car. Yeah. Yeah. It's terrible. Yeah. I'm gonna put something better. Agreed. Totally agreed. It was a good game though. What do you got to get off your chest? No, what's your other one? This is soccer related. Okay. So like maybe 20% of our listeners will know what I'm talking about. Okay. So have you seen I wonder if you've seen it. Chelsea players now they do this thing where they they huddle around the ball. Do you see the pictures? No. Of the Chelsea players huddle around the ball and then the referees in the middle. No. So Chelsea started this against Ascent Village in my knowledge, which is why I'm so worked up about it. Before the game, before the other team kicks off, they huddle around the ball. And they don't let anybody,

you know, get to the ball. So it's definitely like a power play. It's like, you know, like they're trying to get in your head, trying to assert dominance over the field, stepping on the star. Yeah, but it's like whatever. That's annoying, but whatever. But their manager came out after the game and was upset that the ref wouldn't like concede the space so that they could do this thing that's stupid and probably against the rules. That's silly. And his argument was my players decided to do this on their own. And they wanted to do it as a way to show respect to the ball. And like that really bothers me because like, you know, our listeners will know I hate an intellectual dishonesty. And that is intellectual dishonesty at its peak. If you're going to do it, stand on it. Be like, we want to assert our dominance on the ball, on the field. We want to show the opponent what we're about. He's like, we want to show respect to the ball. What does it even mean? Bring the ball a gift. Yeah. Yeah. How about you show respect to the ball? Like giant shoes. Yeah. It means it means nothing to show respect to the ball by huddling around the ball. It just I've been worked up about this all weekend as you can tell.

You need some hobbies. These are my hobbies. These are my hobbies. Unfortunately. Okay. Here's my take the the in memoriam segment from the Oscars. Yeah. I knew you'd have asked your stuff. I thought they did. I thought they did a great job with the Reiner part. Hmm. Crystal comes out. They, you know, the full scope of his career and then the hurt and opens and it's all these different people from all of his different movies. That was great. That hit that hit very well. There's a butt kind of little tears. Yeah. And this was a tough year. There's some really big losses. So they do three breakouts. Okay. So they start with Reiner. Do a little montage and they do Diane Keaton and it's Rachel McAdams, you know, going on on Diane Keaton. And that was good. Not bad. I like that Rachel McAdams, but that means they don't do one for Catherine O'Hara. I think we could I think we could have had a little extra time. Maybe get you get kulken out there. Yeah. That's surprised me. I didn't hear anything. And then they do another little montage and then they get to Robert Redford now. Okay. First, that means that they they don't

do a breakout for Robert DeVol. And that is Robert DeVol. He should have he should have been on that level. Yes. That's disappointing. Frantically googling. But I know what Robert DeVol is. Robert Redford. I mean, movie star of all movie stars, one of the most handsome men who's ever lived. Big Robert Redford fan. And the whole thing just becomes Barbara Streisand naval gazing, talking about only herself. The set up her singing. I'm sorry. Like we get the whole we get the whole scope of Rob Reiner, but we are diminishing the entire scope of Robert Redford's career to just one movie with Barbara Streisand. Yeah, but say I know her fans. She thinks that's funny. She doesn't realize it. That's what everybody calls her. Very bizarre. That is weird. I know who Robert Redford is. So therefore, I feel like he deserved a better eulogy. I didn't watch the Oscars. I didn't even job. Is it how bad on a scale of 1 to 10, how much of a Red Flag is it

that I didn't know the Oscars were last night? Well, it's a Red Flag because I said it on the emergency podcast yesterday. That's when I found out. No, that's when I knew it means if it means you weren't listening and that's a red flag. No, I knew you telling me I don't care about it. It's fine. Yeah, I just I'm not a big movie guy as we've established, but I know Robert Redford RIP. Yeah, there you go. All right, three takes for your audio feed that could not have happened in bovertime. Oh, I wasn't going to be able to go after Lee and Rossinia like that on and on the show. This is audio only. This is the deep. That's the thing that the people on audio don't know is that neither of us is wearing any clothes. That one tomorrow at two o'clock on PHY. Thanks for listening.
