American Anguish in the Land Down Under
Manage episode 373901418 series 2859272
TV missed the usual recording time to attend a conference in his neck of the woods, so we had Commissioner Comic Book sit in and join EstoBro on the podcast. The first episode of the month focuses on sports-related topics, and CCB is ready to kick off the Premier League (2:30) with the cold open of the show. EstoBro is reluctant to discuss the topic because then he has to carry on the conversation about Manchester City winning the Treble last year. We are more than halfway through the baseball season, and CCB wants to tear the New York Yankees a new one for having an abysmal season (12:00), especially not 'blowing it up' at the trade deadline and at least starting brand new. Meanwhile, EstoBro's Chicago Cubs are one of the hottest teams coming out of the All-Star break (30:00), with a decent chance to make a run at the playoffs; the Gents also break down the favorites that will be present in October. With football still on the brain, the pair discuss the Women's World Cup that is going on this summer in Australia and New Zealand (40:00); and it is rather unfortunate that the United States had an early exit in the first round of the knockout stage. However, there is optimism for this national squad, for they truly have some potential with how young this team is. The other football in discussion leads to the first fantasy football discussions on the podcast (49:05), as CCB and EstoBro participate in numerous fantasy leagues that take place over autumn. They have some early discussions on who they might draft first overall with their first draft taking place this weekend. Finally, the show wraps with the scandal that has surfaced surrounding pop artist Lizzo (59:20), and the controversy she is currently facing after being served a lawsuit.
