Transcript of Postgame Show: Roy Can't Find The Sound

It took Roy a minute, but he has now located the three sounds from the prodigious Zaz library of mispronounceifications. Let's go with sound number one.

Shit, do you want to know what were the kids doing?

One of the greatest of all time. Shit, do you want to know? Just to play this again, this is Zaz's description of the movie Weapon.

Shit, do you want to know What were the kids doing?

Give me another wonderful zaz sound from the library of mispronounceifications.

I don't think strange for me, but like...

Oh, boy.

The rare Mike Ryan pity instead of bouncing on you. It doesn't happen very often. Finally, we played the other one where he got all of the results wrong and had the packers winning a game they lost and the bears losing a they won. Why would you pick the net?

It was an inspired effort.

That is totally different, and it is from a different part of the library. Roy, I don't know where you've been the last few weeks. It's clearly not around the sound. Now play Roy, now play Tony's sound of him messing it up.

Would you wather? See, I knew that one. I was like, I got to go.

It's not that bad, though, compared to some of these as others. Compared to his? No, this is nothing. But you quit early, though.

No, it was a two seconds of you just giving it.

No, I knew because the moment I The wather came out. I was like, I'm done. I felt Mike going like this.

Yeah, I was there. I was just like, I was right there. You'll get the note later.

Yeah. No, I've already written it down. Got one for Roy. I've got a ton for Roy today. Oh, come on, man. The UFC this weekend, a couple of surprising results. But what's not surprising is that that sport is more prone to the gambling issues where Dana White had to this time, now that he's learned the lesson, had to pull a fight that had suspicious activity in it. The reason I say this sport is more prone to gambling corruption, it's because it's not only an individual as opposed to a team that you have to buy in order to contaminate the result, but it's an individual in a sport that does not pay well. And so the athletes are more vulnerable to this thing because Dana White, famously, does not pay these people well. And so your thoughts were what, Tony? You covered this weekend from Dead Flamingo. You covered a couple of surprises this weekend in the sport. There were a handful of upsets, betting upsets. But I am unsurprised to see that Dana White's got a problem on his hands when it comes to suspicious gambling results because of that combination I'm telling you about.

You can get a vulnerable individual. You don't have to buy a team. College basketball, it can be pretty easy to infiltrate college sports in general. Before, recently, now that we're actually paying athletes, well, I think UFC more susceptible than tennis or anything else because of how poorly they pay the- Months ago, we told you to keep an eye on College Basketball.

There have been five things that have happened since then. The early odds in College Basketball, a toxic wasteland of that stuff. But continue with the UFC conversation.

So, Dan, we'll start with the fight that got pulled. Yeah, there was increasing pressure pressure from sportsbooks and the gambling agencies that told the UFC, Hey, something's going on here as far as the spread is concerned. So Dana learned from the last time, pulled the fight from the card. And that's part of what you You're good. When you're seen as a professional athlete and not paid like a professional athlete, not unionized like a professional athlete, you have more incentive to maybe do things to get more scratch. When maybe if you're on a 25 show, 25 win, where you're going to make 50 grand. Yeah, but if I can make 100 doing something illegal, but nobody knows about it, it's more incentive for that. So yeah, Dana did the right thing. That's going to happen. I feel like that's the only thing you could do is pull, because if not, you might get somebody killed.

No, he learned the lesson. He learned the lesson from the last time. He's going to pull those fights every time now that he gets a call about suspicious activity. You have to learn this stuff as we go because it's still a relatively new sport, and the normalization of gambling is something that is also new.

I saw they're giving out a lot more money for bonuses. Is that a good thing? Or is that some phony baloney? No, no, no.

Absolutely.

It's in part because of this, I would say. I mean, it's been a complaint for a long time. They are giving more bonuses, but the pay- And the $7.

7 billion that they made from the Paramount deal, which is also nice. But from 50K up to 100K fight of the night bonus. And if you finish somebody without getting the fight of the night bonus, you make 25K also. So that's a little bit more of an incentive there. But we'll go with the biggest up to the night, which is Justin Gece beating Patti Pimbley. Patti Pimbley, a super huge fan favorite. People were wearing the wigs. They do the dance. He's a very personality-driven fighter.

He had never lost in UFC.

Hadn't lost in the UFC. I've been finding a couple of old guys in tomato cans on the way up. This is his true first test when it came to fighting somebody that has Championship caliber like we've seen Justin Gece wear the interim Golden Lightweight division before. But Justin, at 37, 38 years old, absolutely battered and beat down Patti Pimbley. But again, scousers don't get knocked out. Dan, there was a couple of times where Justin had him dead to rights with elbows, with hammers, with fist, and Patty just kept coming up.

More of a chin than I thought, went immediately to the hospital. Way more. Afterward, and Gachee's like, No, I've been in a ton of these. I don't need to go to the hospital. I'm good.

Dan, did you see during the weigh-ins the day before this guy Smotherman, where he weighed in and they cut weight and they're crazy the way that they do this. It can't be healthy. It's not. Did you see this where he passed out? But the part that really stands out is the commentators who are talking over it, specifically Michael Bisping. Watch this. Give us a listen. It's a dog, but he's been on the wrong side of a couple of decisions. One thirty five and a half for Cameron.

Oh, no. Oh, no, bro. Oh, no.

Oh, my God.

Oh, gosh. What happened? Oh, no. He fainted. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, that's not good. Okay, right before that, I'm sorry. I should have said it a better maybe. Right before that, Michael Bisping literally says, because they see that he looks not well. Frale. Michael Bisping is saying, I don't feel bad for any of these guys. You only have one job. That's to cut weight. And then, dude, face plants.

For the audio audience, what you just saw is a guy during the portion of the telecast where you're doing the way in, you're standing in front of people wearing only your shorts, you're shirtless. He looks a bit sedated and not totally there. Then as he walks off the stage to just leave after making taking weight, literally falls right on his face because of how unhealthy it is to cut that amount of weight in a short period of time. If you're not familiar with how they do this in terms of just wrapping yourself in saran wrap and then jumping rope in a sauna while not drinking water.

They're chewing ice in towels.

No, but not even. Not even being able to chew ice because you're trying to lose water weight.

Right, but apparently, they chewed in the towels because apparently, it tricks your brain into thinking that you're drinking water. So by chewing it through the ice, you're not actually getting any of the water.

It's terrible. It's terrible. It's the worst thing in professional sports when it comes to any training or any getting ready for either a game, a match, whatever it is that you're going to do. Nothing is worse than cutting weight. And a lot of these guys, Alex Paneta, famously, who walks around at 235 pounds, would have to cut down a buck 85.

But why do they do this? I mean, isn't it like cheating? Because they all cut the weight and then they put 25 pounds on before it cuts.

Yeah, but it's about getting down to the weight.

So that you can be strong enough in the octagon to fight at 205 or a higher weight. 20 pounds heavier is an advantage.

He's saying, why do they allow that? Why cut the weight? They should be at that weight for the fight.

That's We're in a conversation of there should be more weight classes so people don't have to drop as much, right? Because Alex dropping from 235, now he's a 205 champ. From dropping from 235 to a buck 85, you're talking about 40 pounds, 50 pounds. It's a lot of weight.

Zazlo is not wrong, wondering ethically, why does the violent sport not do more things in order to have people be healthier? Why is it so violent? Why is it so crazy? Why is it so crazy? Why is it so crazy? Why is it so crazy? Why is it so crazy? Why is it so crazy? Why is it so crazy? Why is it so crazy? Crazy unhealthy things, fighting others for money.

By the way, UFC 325, live from the Dead Flamingo, Alex Wokunowski versus Diego Lopez, too, on the way.

What did you think of the Paramount debut?

I thought it was good. I thought it was clean. Obviously, watching it from my perspective, doing the show, I didn't really notice as much of the commercials. People were saying there was a lot of ads, a lot of commercials. Dana White came out and said, Hey, it's 19 bucks a month. You're going to get commercials. They got to get their money, too. Compliant about. It is what it is. But from the perspective of the show itself, production was amazing. But that's a UFC thing.

That's UFC producing, not Paramount. Paramount badly, badly needs young men. And that is why they got into that investment, because it's all murder, she wrote, and Matlock, and a bunch of- That's Taylor Sheridan shows, Dan.

You got 19 Taylor Sheridan shows in UFC. They got me, baby.

They have to get young men. Jeremy, update the polls, please, for us That Lebitard Show.
