There's a thing when you watch like a guy win a world title fight
Yeah, there's a thing when you watch two of the best in world fight
Where everyone gets to watch right and these guys who are there the wildest and
craziest of our population
Yeah, yeah to do this thing which is akin to combat fully just it's like
physical combat with no weapons
But your own body yeah use that as a weapon and then see who knows how to do
that better and you do it in front of the world
Yeah, I mean that's that is the ancient shit of like single combat, right?
Yeah, it's like each culture or if you wanted to avoid a war we pick our best
guy and we fuck each other up and
There is a feeling of that definitely with especially when it's like when it's
clashes of cultures
Right when it is like could be but it is fucking you know
Conor whatever it's like these guys from completely different places and it
almost feels like like that's what's cool about the World Cup
Obviously, it's not it's not combat sports, but there is something sick where
you're just like these countries
Yeah, so much so much and these people like they got eliminated but Japan and
Korea if they had won
They would have played each other in the fucking World Cup, but it's like
Korea would know Japan like they have so they're so mad. I mean, that's their
oppression
You know what I mean? Like Japan fucked Korea up, right?
I mean, it's like those ancient rivalries like England and France fought each
other for thousands of years
You know, it's like there is it's just so there is something fucking awesome
About and whenever whenever like a third-world country plays in America, you
don't think they want to fuck America up
Of course fuck you you got all the money in the world. We don't give a fuck. We
know you put our dictator in power
My uncle was his fault was the democratically elected guys fucking minister of
the press. He got he got assassinated, too
You got to go motherfucker. Yeah, this is for the CIA take this goes for the
CIA. Yeah, I mean, it's like war proxy. It's cool
What was that article with would you highlighted something?
It's a tradition of it. I don't know that it was a like an official mmm says
later
A deeper connection was claimed during both world wars football as a training
ground for soldiers and officers the game as a mimic war
Requiring cool thinking self-sacrifice and physical courage
So at least in some ways it's cut obviously from that it's like a proxy. Yeah
It's like a thing that you can do you could do that instead of war or maybe can
help you practice for sure
But that's especially back then when they really world wars could pop off at
any time at any time
Maybe you can't you know, that's the thing with combat sports - it's it's all
of it is it's the same thing
It's like it's it's just a way there's a thing that people have inside of them
They want to conquer yeah, and the men women want to do it - they want to do it
socially for sure
You know and it's in and some women physically the ones you want to fuck
It's a weird thing that we have in us and it makes you wonder if people hadn't
figured out sports and hadn't figured out games
Yeah, yeah, how much would we be fucking each other up?
It seems like that's what people are designed to do and all these are the
things that we do that all the other animals
Don't do are probably the thing that has allowed us to become what we are right
It's probably the things that have allowed us to figure out civilization you
blow we figured out ways
Yeah, to get along like let's play with a ball, right?
Let's uh, I'm gonna hit this ball instead of your fucking head
Right, right, right. I'm not gonna sneak in think about it a weapon a bat is a
fucking club
It's a total weapon like instead of your fucking head was I want to hit this
ball use coconuts
I'm gonna pretend it's the coconut. I'm gonna pretend you're fucking nuts with
this coconut. Yeah, and they said back to them
There was this no, I think we researched this too, but god damn that marijuana
is ruining my memory
Respect by the way. This is such a great racket
We were talking about
What was that fucking meme I saw was that an article in the Mayan that Mayan
football game they used to have a football game
Oh, yeah, yeah, and which is like football and a little like lacrosse. It was
like kind of
Yeah, you had to like knock it through like a hole. Yeah, and there was also
talk that sometimes they used a human head
Yeah, that I don't know if that was
Folklore or true and then there was another thing that I read that I never
could remember if this is accurate that the winning team would be sacrificed
Whoa, that's fucking sick
Go to the gods and win our sacrifice
That'd be a long-ass game where people keep missing the ball
Whoops!
What is it Jamie?
There's an article about it says for instance that the game's winners and
losers get sacrificed at the end of the game
The answer to both questions is no. No, so it's all bullsh*t
Players are likely but what if they were?
You know that'd be cool. It wasn't meant to go through the hoop. Dude, it wasn't?
What is the hoop for? But that game was really violent. Oh, fuck
What is that? Uh, there's like a hoop, right?
It doesn't really likely happen from time to time
That's not what it was for. Oh, okay
So it's like extra points?
Yeah, it's like yeah, it's like Harry Potter
It's all about catching the little gold thing
It's all about catching the little gold thing
It's all about catching the little gold thing
It's all about catching the little gold thing
It's all about catching the little gold thing
It's all about catching the little gold thing
