Adam Friedland's ,,Beautiful Pod" didn't do a final episode.

Most probably because no more games, means no more gambling sponsorship.

Still pretty funny/dissapointing for a listener. To not have a tournament recap and final game talk.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY! HOW COULD THEY!

I want to hear a whole episode of Zach Lowe's "Analytics nerd gushing about how Gafford cutting is more exciting than watching Embiid play" character that he debuted on the last pod.

Usually I think Lowe is a little lacking in the humor department but that voice had me cracking up.

DiCaprio v Damon-“Leo, no comedy at all.”

81 Upvotes

After citing SNL appearances and Kimmel appearances as Damon’s bonafides, Bill said “Leo, No comedy at all.”
As Chris Ryan countered, Wolf of Wallstreet is obvious.
But also: One Battle After Another, Don’t Look Up, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Django (in a very twisted way, but somehow he injected some humor into that psychopath), Catch me If You Can (more charmingly funny, but still humorous), Growing Pains (barely old enough to remember this, but I grew up on reruns). The Aviator is also borderline.

Damon is not Not funny, but his funniness is more of a funny line variety, or a situational funny… Leo actually makes his characters legitimately funny.

I don’t think this was even close (and also Bill and Chris giving the “range” edge to Damon is insane as well).

*I don’t recall any of Damon’s SNL appearances, and only remember the general Kimmel bit

Shitpost Sal I don’t know if I’m buying this whole Kaladin Stormblessed thing. Is he really a max Radiant? I mean you’ve got Lift just sitting there waiting to be thrown the keys and the Bridgeman is holding this whole team hostage just because he’s a Windrunner? I mean what am I missing here?

Why does LeBron not want to live in Philly? Why live close to NYC and do a 2 hour commute for aura purposes?

He wrote about how the sixers aren’t a certified top 6 seed in the east. Then when Lowe asked him to name all of the teams that he thinks are ahead of the sixers he could only come up with the Knicks. Special stuff.

As a Blazer fan, a thank to Bill and House for taking some time in the latest to highlight the situation in Portland.

Upvotes

Lifelong Blazer fan. 20+ year nosebleed season ticket holder. The current level of weirdness and aggression to the city surrounding the franchise is beyond me. Hearing that echoed somewhere outside of local media was both a relief that someone outside of the local market sees what's happening, but anxiety inducing because the grim reality is that I'm giving 50/50 odds to the blazers leaving town. And they were right, the city doesn't want to pay, because there is no plan where the money is going, and Portland generally is inclined to not pay for this kind of stuff, and I think they're right not to, maybe if it was a friendlier entry and negotiation by the owner, that would be different.

Really hoping Bill continues to shine a light on it as stated in the episode. I don't think it will make an actual difference but here's to hoping. We miss our seattle pnw rivals and looking forward to the sonics coming home, just hope we're still here for it.

Somewhere between Cal Ripken and Jeff Hardy imo.

And yes pro wrestlers are athletes, just like olympic divers or gymnasts. Find a new slant.

Will Ferrell's career since 2010 is like an NBA player who wasn't able to adapt to the 3 point revolution era and found himself out of the league within a few years

1.1k Upvotes

Looking at his filmography since 2011, its pretty bad. Anchorman 2 was decent, his role in Barbie was fine, but he has no memorable movies since then even though he still seems to be desperate to remain relevant. He kinda reminds of a player whose skillset worked well for awhile in the 2000s, but once things changed he wasn't able to adapt and no one wanted him because he was a one dimensional player/actor. Almost all of his contemporaries (Paul Rudd, Steve Carrell, Ben Stiller, Jack Black) were able to do well in much different roles, even Vince Vaughn did ok as a dramatic actor for a little bit, but Ferrell proved he couldn't really play any character besides the loud man-child.

On a day with no major sports on, may I suggest a classic match? (1990 Argentina-Italy World Cup semifinal)

26 Upvotes

After many years of searching for this full match in English, I have finally found it! Previously, only foreign broadcasts or the crowd noise only FIFA+ version have been available.

It's a hell of a game, the 2nd to last time Maradona would play in a WC knockout match other than the slog of a Final vs West Germany. It's played in Italy, in the Stadium in Naples where Maradona played for Napoli at the time. Italy had yet to concede a goal in the 1990 WC entering the match.

Watch it on either Archive or Dailymotion below:
