Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Jalen Carter’s Ejection & The Dak Prescott Incident

• Spitting Controversy: The show opens with Jalen referencing the headline-worthy moment where Eagles’ Jalen Carter (mistakenly called out as the instigator) allegedly spits on Cowboys’ Dak Prescott.
  • “Jalen Carter's wearing 98 in green. He just did something terrible. Or so it seems… Spitting on that Prescott, kicked out for spitting on that Prescott, spitting on that grass guy and kicked out the game.” — Jalen [00:44]
• The exaggerated storytelling sets the comedic tone, as the group loosely debates sporting etiquette but quickly pivots.

2. Pat Benatar and Musical Blind Spots

• Childhood Crushes & Music Generational Gap:
  • Chris admits his wife caught him jamming to Pat Benatar, illustrating personal nostalgia and generational differences in music knowledge.
  • “I'm like, yes, Childhood crush...You're making fun, Mike, that Chris didn't know who Pat Benatar was.” — Chris [01:24]
• Mike's Shaming:
  • Mike ribs Chris for his ignorance, expanding the conversation to TV series soundtracks and claiming Chris also missed "Mobland’s" catchy music [01:33].

3. Mobland vs. The Sopranos: TV Gangster Debate

• Comparing Legends:
  • The discussion escalates passionately as a guest argues that "Mobland" (referencing the Guy Ritchie project) could surpass "The Sopranos" given enough seasons. The group debates TV excellence, the role of iconic actors (Helen Mirren, Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan), as well as the signature style of Guy Ritchie.
    • “If I give Mob Land six seasons of Guy Ritchie, it'll be better than the Sopranos. The first season… is not as good as what I saw from Mobland...it's five Guy Ritchie movies.” — Guest [02:05]
    • Dan pushes the guest to get louder with his hot take, fueling comedic chaos.
• Baseball Analogy:
  • Mike draws a parallel between "Mobland" and MLB player Mike Trout, noting that greatness is proven over time:
    • “It's Mike Trout. Oh, my God. This guy could be Willie Mays. It turns out Mike Trout. Not Willie Mays. That's like what you're doing right here…” — Mike [03:15]
• Persistence of Style:
  • “Guy Ritchie is one of the few directors, as soon as you see his movies, you know who made the movie. He's cornered the market on British gangster stuff.” — Guest [02:46]

4. Fontaine’s D.C. & Body Shaming in the Studio

• Music Recommendations:
  • Dan plugs his favorite new band, Fontaine’s D.C., and touts their track “Starburster” as last year’s best.
    • “Fontaine's dc. That's one of my favorite newer bands out there. Great album. Starburster. That's like my favorite track of last year.” — Dan [03:46]
• Candy Confusion:
  • Mike humorously mixes up “Starburster” with the candy Starburst, prompting banter and a joke about Mike’s slimmed-down look.
• Studio ‘Body Shaming’:
  • The group pokes fun at their own and others’ body images, referencing how earlier segments featured body-related jokes about Steve Ballmer, Jim Defiti, and Dak Prescott.
    • “We body shamed a whole bunch of people today.” — Chris [04:03]
    • “Did you know that Jeremy was fat? Put that on the poll. Did you know that Jeremy was fat?” — Dan [04:20]

Transcript

[Host]

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.

[Ad Voice]

Cuervo.

[Host]

What are you doing here?

[Chris]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Host]

Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

[Chris]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Host]

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.

[Ad Voice]

Cuervo.

[Host]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo.

[Jalen]

Jalen Carter's wearing 98 in green. He just did something terrible. Or so it seems. Turns out he wasn't first to do it, but that's who they saw, and so they booted him. Foreign. Spitting on that Prescott, kicked out for spitting on that Prescott, spitting on that grass guy and kicked out the game.

[Chris]

The other day, my wife caught me turning up Pat Benatar again. And I know what that is. Asked me a couple of questions.

[Mike]

It's the artist who sings that song.

[Chris]

I'm like, yes, Childhood crush.

[Ad Voice]

Of course.

[Chris]

Childhood crush. You're making fun, Mike, that Chris didn't know who Pat Benatar was.

[Guest]

First of it. I don't know if it's a first.

[Chris]

Of its kind because I guess Joan Jett was before that. But for me, I had never seen someone like that doing rock and roll. And Chris has no idea who Pat Benatar is. Welcome to the club. On not knowing things musically, because Mike really shamed me because I hadn't heard the introduction to Mobland music that is very catchy. The music on that show is good in general.

[Mike]

People are mad at you about that. Soprano. Sopranos.

[Chris]

Well, so listen and bleep them. Like, bleep them several times over.

[Guest]

Because what I'm saying is, if I give Mob Land six seasons of Guy Ritchie, it'll be better than the Sopranos. The first season of the Sopranos is not as good as what I saw from Mobland. It's just not the acting. It's. It's five Guy Ritchie movies.

[Host]

You are indignant right now.

[Guest]

It's like, yeah, I don't care who's mad about this? I love the Sopranos. It's one of the top 10 shows of all time for me. And. And this, if I gave it seven seasons, would be better than the.

[Mike]

And that's a big if to just be like, you're going to do that seven times at this standard. That's what makes the Sopranos in all of these other all time shows.

[Guest]

So the first season of the Sopranos.

[Host]

Get louder and start yelling even more.

[Guest]

First. Yeah. The first season of the Sopranos is not Helen Mirren, Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and again, I'll say it again, Guy Ritchie. Guy Ritchie is one of the few directors, as soon as you see his movies, you know who made the movie. He's cornered the market on British gangster stuff.

[Mike]

I feel like Mobland is Mike Trout.

[Host]

Louder.

[Mike]

Mike Trout. It started the first, like, I'm gonna call it his first four.

[Host]

I'm being so chill for a season.

[Mike]

It's Mike Trout. Oh, my God. This guy could be Willie Mays. It turns out Mike Trout. Not. Not Willie Mays. That's like what you're doing right here. Like you're like saying his. The first couple seasons of Mike Trout.

[Host]

This is Willie Mays.

[Mike]

This is better than Willie Mays. And we're like, what makes a great show great is being able to continue.

[Jalen]

For season after season.

[Guest]

It's goddamn Richie. It's Guy Richie. It's five Guy Ritchie movies. I haven't seen it.

[Chris]

But the music.

[Host]

But I do know the band and I wish I knew the band. Fontaine's dc. That's one of my favorite newer bands out there. Great album. Starburster. That's like my favorite track of last year.

[Mike]

I love Starburst.

[Host]

I didn't know that. No, not Starburst. The candy. Although you've been having fewer of those nice little svelte look that you got over there.

[Chris]

We body shamed a whole bunch of people today.

[Mike]

We talked about building three different bodies in the. In the first like 20 minutes of this show. It was what? It was Steve Ballmer, Jim defiti, and it was Prescott. Yeah, we did.

[Host]

On both ends.

[Mike]

You know, we're doing good. I saw a clip of Jeremy from six months ago where he looked really fat.

[Host]

Yeah, I didn't know that Jeremy was fat.

[Mike]

Yeah, me neither.

[Host]

Did you know that Jeremy was fat? Put that on the poll. Did you know that Jeremy was fat? Now's a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo, what are you doing here, Cuervo?
