No, it wasn't flashy, but that golden sparkle in Hidilyn Diaz's Olympic win certainly brought us an emphatic moment to celebrate for the years to come, and that's something we discuss on the show.
On this episode, we also welcome hardcore Packers fan/Lakers Nation PH head honcho, Attorney Bert, as we discuss Aaron Rodgers' discontent with the Packers and the moves the Lakers have made as free agency opened. Also under fire is the NFL's training camp policy, seeing as some players have spoken out about vaccination and what it means to them.

Episode 34: Taking L's Everywhere
Heartbreakers: Team USA lost, the Suns finally lost an NBA Finals game
Happy moment: Conor McGregoverrated took a big fat L
Sure, some people took losses, but sometimes, these losses actually become net positives. We discuss how we feel like the NBA Finals will move forward, how these exhibitions could all be a ruse from Pop, and just had a big ass laugh at McGregor. We also discuss the return of live sports in the Philippines and go at length on how the pandemic response has been when it comes to sporting events around the world.
Lock in.

Episode 33: When Pip Goes Wild
Seems like Scottie Pippen really needs to pay off that yacht he lost by really pushing his new book with a ton of controversial statements, and that's something we discuss at length on this episode. Is he going crazy? Is he only doing this for cash? Tune in and find out as we also talk about the opening of the NBA Finals, with the Bucks and Suns going at it. An NBA Finals with no Dubs or LeBron does seem weird, but definitely is refreshing.
Also on this episode, we talk about one of the best days in sports in Bobby Bonilla Day, the Gilas OQT performance, and players we loved who finally won a big one.
Go get it!

Episode 32: Going Live Like Magic
Not in that way, but the Baks did it in 6.9!
Our first ever episode where we all watch a game live and talked about what was happening, and what a game that was. Game 7 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals was a doozy. While all of that happened, we also talked about the Luka Doncic and Zion Williamson situations, a couple of trade scenarios, and everything that happened in the past week in the NBA.
We also discussed Gilas' sparkling run and, unlike our favorite self proclaimed journalist, we're all in on the hype train, especially after seeing what our boys are capable of.
Tune in, folks!

Episode 31: Hanging By A Booger
We've got the regular NBA talk on this week's episode, the Julio Jones trade, and some UFC talk, but one thing really bothered us...
Pitchers can get inventive when it comes to gaining control on the mound, but it's been an extremely weird year when it comes to how dominant they've been this season in the MLB. We sat down and discussed this at length on the show. We also believe that the power lies in Gerrit Cole eating his boogers.
We also discussed our favorite absolutely dominant runs in sports history. Who's the best? Brady winning Super Bowls? MJ being dominant? The Yankees? R-Truth as a 52 time champion? Listen in and find out.
5 guys, 5 thoughts, all sports (that we know and care about). What started as a parody to clown a former "journalist" has now become a full blown podcast where these 5 dudes get together and just talk sports the whole time.
