This shit ain't nothing to me, man. This is Boxing
Before Dark. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Back. Back.
Back. Back. Back. Before. Before. Before. Before.
Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing Before Dark. This
is Boxing Before Dark. Alright. Shall we? Yes.
Well, well, well. Boxing before dark. Back up
in your ears. A whole lot of shit to talk about.
Not a whole lot of fights to talk about. That's
a little saddening. That's what we're here for.
We're here for the fights. Yeah, it's just a
really slow time right now. Everybody's gearing
up for end of October into December. Yeah, seems
so. But there is something interesting coming
up in November that you're going to get to see.
Yeah. Nabil Anan versus Jonathan Haggerty for
the Bantamweight Muay Thai title. That is exciting.
That's a really good fight. I'm more excited
for some of the undercard just because they're
more famous and I actually know who they are.
What's his name on it? Rod Tang's on it. And
is it Super Vaan? Yeah. Yeah. Those two I actually
know. Not going to lie. I don't know who Aneen
and Hagerty are. It's still going to be Lin.
Yeah. I was going to say, I'm expecting Anon
to put it on him. Because he's got free... He's
like a Fundora build. Oh, is he? He's the crazy
tall guy with like... The long limbs? Yeah, that's
him. Nice. Okay. I do know who he is. I just
didn't know his name. Yeah, he's really good
to watch. That's my problem with one is I have
a hard time remembering the names. Oh, yeah.
Because they're from all over the place. Yeah,
and they're just like so different. Yeah. But
I'm super excited for that. I think it's going
to be great. And it's going to be like nine hours
long. I'm going to have to leave my house in
the morning, pack a lunch, sneak in a half dozen
beer, pack a supper. It's going to be like eight
hours of fights. Yeah, you're going to be there
for quite some time. Yeah. And since it's Japan,
I have no idea if the concession stands are even
going to be useful. I think one... we'll make
we'll have them i think they'll have them but
when i went to ryzen the lineups were like half
an hour 45 minutes long to get to the front and
twice i got to the front and they were sold out
of everything except beer by the time i got there
that's not good so yeah but this time i'm just
gonna be smart and pack Like, maybe not a full
lunch, but at least some snacks and a sandwich.
Yeah. Not going to be sitting there with my Tupperware
and a spoon eating, like, fried rice or something.
Just finger foods. Yeah. Yeah. Still, that's
a long time to be there. I'm still excited. Doesn't
matter. I'm trying to think if there's anything
on the same day. What's the date? This is November
11th? I wanted to say 24th, but I don't know
why. I'm trying to think if there's any boxing
on at the same time. That's not useful. What
number is it? 173. Typed in 1 in Tokyo and it's
just... Oh, shit. That's the day before my conference.
I have to have my shit dialed in. Oh, well. Conference
is also in Tokyo. Double travels? Nah, I'll probably
just come home. It's not that far. Well, speaking
of Fundora build, Fundora Thurman postponed due
to injury. I had not heard about this. I am disappointed.
Breaking news. It was a hand contusion is what
I'm seeing. On Fundora? Yes. When you said postponed,
I assumed the sermon was heard. Yeah, that's
a safe assumption, but not this time. Crazy.
That's just bad luck. Gotta be. He's never had
an injury before, or at least never one that
was public. Well, and contusions is just like,
he split his knuckles open hitting the bag or
something, right? Um, contusion is bruising?
I thought it was, yeah, like, or fight bite.
I don't know what the real terms are. Like, when
your skin splits open. Let's see what a contusion
is. Nope. Oh, yeah. Bruising. Bruising. Bruising.
That's gotta be a really bad bruise if he has
to cancel the fight. Yeah. Bone bruise, maybe?
Crazy. Well, speaking of crazy, Arturo Gaddy
Jr. What the fuck? Found dead? Yeah. Yeah. So,
I had misremembered, as I usually do, I thought
Arturo's kids were both with the first wife,
but apparently the son is with the second wife.
Um... The one that I am pretty sure killed daddy.
And the kid was also a boxer. And he was starting
to travel and go to training camps and stuff.
And there's a bit of a theory out there that
he had been really sheltered. Like, he wasn't
allowed to have his own Instagram and stuff.
His mother ran all that. Wow. So, yeah, it's
why I didn't follow it. Because it was well known
that it wasn't actually him. It was his mom.
And so there's a bit of a theory that once he
got out in the boxing world, he found out about
the rumors and the controversy and stuff. And
that his mom had been hiding from him the whole
time that she'd been arrested and investigated
for his dad's death. Whoa. Yeah. And the reports
are that he hung himself, which is... how gaddy
died too or gaddy senior died so i don't want
to stir any conspiracy theories but that's that's
making the rounds the also crazy conspiracy theory
that i think is much crazier is that the kid's
set to inherit his dad's money next year but
i had oh yeah and she she did it again i don't
think that's true But that's the crazy conspiracy
theories going around. Yeah, that is... The way
it lines up is... It's a little too neat. Yeah,
I don't know about that. I mean, finding out
that your mom probably killed your dad and hid
it from you your entire life and is now probably
kind of... I don't want to say forcing, but is
really encouraging you. To box and make money.
She just seems like a horrible person. Is this
the same one that fought Mayweather? I think
in an exhibition. If Gaddy's son fought Mayweather
in an exhibition. But are you mixing up Gaddy
and Gotti with an O? Yes, I am. That's exactly
what I'm doing. I was going to say, I don't think
Arturo Gatti's kid has done any exhibitions and
stuff. He was on one of the youth teams and doing
quite well. I think he was looked at to go to
the Olympics soon. It's really sad either way.
Yeah, it is. He was in Mexico. They found him
in his, I guess, apartment. I don't think he
lives there, but he was down there for training.
Gonna follow in his father's footsteps, style
-wise. Yeah. It's really, really sad. No matter
how it happened. This next one you're gonna have
to set up for me, because I have no idea what
is going on here. Okay, we're gonna talk about
minimum weight for a second. So... Tataran and
Marvin Jerusalem are both Filipino minimum weight
champions. So Jerusalem fights next week. I don't
know what the fight dates are, but they're really
close together. There's one week between the
two fights. So Tataran was fighting Val Yunan,
is fighting Val Yunan. applied for it to be a
mandatory defense of his belt, which would free
him up to fight whoever the hell he wants, which
was, I was hoping, was Jerusalem. But it's been
announced that he's going to fight Kalazo. Jerusalem
is? Sorry, Tataran. I got the names all mixed
up again. I think Tataran is. That's the rumor.
I had been hoping for a Filipino super fight
unification of minimum weight, which would have
been fucking baller. But that's not going to
happen now. Because whoever fights Collazo is
going to get iced, I think. Would it have been
better for them to unify their titles? That's
what I wanted. I wanted an all Filipino unification
in the Philippines. I think it would have been
the biggest. crowd that minimum weights hold
in a long time i think the filipinos would have
showed up and showed out but the the rumor is
that tataran's going after kalazo next which
is a bigger name and a bigger payday probably
but i i was hoping for the filipino super fight
that would have been better for like the for
the story of the whole thing yeah but it sounds
like kalazo's moving up soon so i guess they're
trying to get the money while they can i mean
it's minimum weight i don't think any of them
are making a whole crazy money yeah although
i guess for the filipinos like if you fight in
america and get paid in u .s bills probably goes
a lot farther in the philippines yeah probably
but then getting paid in I don't even know what
the money is in the Philippines. Pesos. They
are a peso? Yeah. Yeah. So, anyways, minimum
weight is good right now. Like, Kalazo's on top,
but he's going to be moving soon. And the people
that are left behind are all at a comparable
talent level. I know everybody says they're tiny
and it's no fun to watch them, but it is fun
and you're all wrong and you should keep an eye
on minimum weight. They throw so many punches,
Leo. Yeah, I know. So many punches. Why do I
have at the top of mind that Knockout Freshmart
is doing something soon? He's coming back, but
he's moving up. Okay, that's what it was. BP,
Freshmark, yeah, because he held a belt for eight
years at minimum. I forget how many times he
defended. I think it was like 10, maybe. He lost
his 10th defense. It might have been more than
10 defenses. Anyways, he lost his belts, but
he's coming back at 108. Old man deserves to
eat a sandwich. I have no problem with this.
Small guy deserves to get the large value meal
for once. How old is CP Freshmart now? 30s, I
believe. Which is old for being 105 pounds. It
is. It is indeed. He is 35. That's really old
to be 105 pounds. That's a small person. I love
CP Fresh Mart. Well, there's like four of them,
but they're all fun. Yeah, well, like in 1FC,
there's a bajillion Fairtex. Similar situation.
Yeah, yeah. What's the yellow and red trunks
that all the Thai guys wear? Like SSR? M80 or
something? Oh. They all wear the same shorts.
Thai colors. It's not, though. It's just whatever
company that pays for them. Anyways, minimum
weight's on fire right now. People need to stop
being weird about watching small guys. not sure
how i can segue that one to david allen training
fighters i didn't know about this apparently
everyone else did but uh i saw an interview he
was talking about how he can't corner his guys
that are fighting on the same card as him and
how he was leaving very specific instructions
for the the guys that were stepping in as trainer
in the corner is he not allowed to corner them
or Does the timing not work out? He doesn't want
to corner people the same night he fights. I
see. I don't think it's that he's not allowed.
He doesn't want to. I don't think Dave Allen
likes to work that hard. Interesting. Interesting
methodology from Dave Allen here. He has won
me over in the interviews I've seen before this
fight. Someone was like, a lot of guys have trouble
after retirement. And Dave's like, fuck that.
I'm so excited to retire. I can't fucking wait
to be done with this work bullshit. Good. And
he was also talking about how he knows what level
he's at. He's like, but if I win this one, I
get like... He's been... Orally promised some...
That sounds bad. That's not how you say it. Verbally.
Verbally promised. That if he wins this, he gets
some... Some... With Eddie. Yeah. Oral promise.
Whatever. You know what I meant. Yeah, I did.
I wasn't gonna say anything. Yeah, I would expect
that if he wins this, that he gets something
bigger. This is pretty winnable. It's really
50 -50, I think. The bookies have it 50 -50.
Dave Allen's paying 2 -1, so I put down a hamburger
bet on Allen. Nice. Yeah. My illegal betting
site that I've been using forever changed their...
style on the thing. And they also seem to have
downgraded their boxing. When I move back to
Canada, I'll have to get one of the normal ones,
I guess. What, like FanDuel or something? Something.
See, I started betting on boxing before it was
legal in Canada. And I just kept the same website.
Why don't you sign up now? You're still a Canadian
citizen. Yeah, but it's illegal to place bets
in Japan. Oh. Well, that's dumb. Yeah, you can
bet on three things in Japan. You can bet on
horse races, boat races, and bicycling races.
That's the only three things that's legal to
bet on here. Stuff where people don't get hurt.
I don't know if that's true. Have you ever watched
those boat races? I have not. They flip real
bad. Is it the mega speedboats? These are...
They're not the drag race boats. They go around
a course. They're like F1 boats. Oh, okay. It's
pretty cool. Fun. Oh. I got nothing on this one
as well. Zerto on Vogue. Another fashion magazine.
Did you see it? No, I haven't. I feel like I'm
out of the loop on this one because I don't think
Zerto's that good looking. He's not bad looking,
but they are some nice pictures, so whoever the
photographer was set him up well. That's an interesting
picture. Yeah, he got set up nicely, but I don't
know, he's... He's kind of chubby. Well, yeah,
this is a dude who enjoys his food. I'm just
saying. Yeah, these are all pretty basic, but
that's still really cool. I think it's pretty
cool. And the clothes are really nice. Like,
they did dress him well. I couldn't read the
articles because I don't read Spanish, but...
I use Firefox. It just offered to translate the
whole page for me. Okay. I was lazy and did not
read the article. Yeah, no, I could translate
it if I wanted to. I didn't care that much, to
be honest. I don't have to translate it, and
I still don't care that much. It is kind of cool
that boxing's getting popular enough that boxers
are getting into other things now. I don't remember
the last time I saw a boxer in a fashion magazine.
That actually is something. Because those types
of magazines do have their finger on the pulse.
Yeah, like, the last person I can think of, and
I'm sure there's somebody since him, but it would
have been De La Hoya. I'm sure somebody else
has been in a magazine that I just didn't know
about. I'm sure, yeah, there has to have been
someone else. I just, I can't think of anyone.
Call in and tell us. Yeah, 833luckspots. What
fashion magazines have we missed? I know Tsutsumi
is just fucking loving it. That's all his Instagram
is right now. It's just him in fashion magazines.
And restaurants. Food and clothing? That's pretty
trendsetter. It's not a bad thing. Yeah, pretty
trendsetter. If that's what your out -of -ring
activities are, I can fully support that. Zerno,
too, if it's just clothes and food, you're winning.
Oh, speaking of winning, I don't know who's going
to win. Probably, I'm going to be backing Badu
Jack against Noir Mikhalian. In their rematch.
Yeah. You gotta back. You gotta back Jack. Yep.
Bad dude. Jack. I still. Every time I see his
name. I think of that awful fucking cut. Split
his entire face in half. Pretty much. Opened
his third eye. Gross. But Badu Jack is not fun
to watch. And he's not that good. But he always
just barely wins. Well, not always, but usually
just barely wins. But he is getting old. I think
he's on the other side of 40. Is he? I think
so. Let's make sure of that. Yes, he is 41. Fucking
ancient. Fucking ancient. For cruiserweight,
though, he's not that old. Yeah, I guess. I'm
not used to watching the heavyweights. Oh, speaking
of heavyweights, Frank Sanchez vs. Daniel Dubois.
IBF Eliminator. I really, really want Frank Sanchez
to win because I do not want to see Usyk Dubois
3. Yes, I can agree with that. Nothing against
Daniel. Also, like, Frank Sanchez always shows
up. Eh. I mean, he could win. He could. He does
have the style to give Dubois trouble. Think
like a Diet Usyk. He is Cuban, so... Yeah, he
could be older than he claims. And he claims
to be 33. He does not look 33. He certainly does
not. I mean, some people just look old, but...
Do you think this will be fun? Or do you think
it's going to be like a punch -punch -clinch
heavyweight slop? I think it'll be heavyweight
slop. Not Daniel Dubois' fault. Fair enough.
I guess that's okay. Yeah. I don't know. Nobody
listens to this podcast for heavyweight talk
anyways. How about Ryan Garcia talk? Ugh. Calling
out Mario Barrios. Ugh. I did notice that...
He could. Barrios is ass. This is kind of an
ass off, though, isn't it? Yes. Yes, it is. Like,
I don't know if anybody's gonna win. It's just
who's gonna lose. I don't know. Fucking garbage.
I did notice Ryan Garcia was doing interviews
again, but I didn't listen to any of them. They
all have clickbaity titles, like... What was
his last take? Terrence Crawford is in a Hall
of Famer or something. Oh, yeah. Come on. Triple
G shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame. That's a
very special take to have. Anyways, I fucking
hate Ryan Garcia. I hope Mario Barrios beats
him. I have no strong feelings either way about
Barrios. I agree. I don't think he's that good,
but I don't hate him. So we're going to back.
What's Barrios' nickname? He's the Aztec, right?
Yeah. We're going to back the Aztec, or I'm going
to back the Aztec on this one. Fuck Ryan Garcia.
I do not want Ryan Garcia to win. It's just,
man, Barrios is booty. Straight booty. Yeah.
But it's not like Garcia's good. No. He's the
one trick pony. So as long as Barrios can keep
his right hand at home. Perhaps. Garcia's pretty
fast. Yeah, but he's also stupid. He is, though.
His ring IQ is fucking seven. Room temperature?
No, that's too high. In Celsius, even? Maybe
in Celsius. I don't know. I don't want to see
Ryan Garcia anymore. I'm sick of him. It's bullshit.
Ryan Garcia as a welterweight champion? Are you
fucking kidding me? Roley will have to come beat
him again. Unified. That would leave Crocker
and Brian Norman. That is not a very good division.
Brian Norman. really stands out in that. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, 147 is not good right now, hey? It
is not. And it's one of the... It's usually one
of the showcase divisions. Yes. There's... Devin
Haney's moving into it for whatever that's worth.
Who's he fighting again? Brian Norman. I hope
Norman ices him. Me too. I really, really am
hoping for that. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to
see any more Devin Haney. Roley's fighting Pacquiao?
It's looking like it. Yeah. Ugh. I forgot to
put that on the outline, but yeah. Roley's not
that good either. Nope. Like... I do hope he
beats Pacquiao, though. Put the old man to rest.
Like... If he keeps winning, he's gonna get hurt.
Because let's say he beats Rolly. Awesome. He's
got a title again. What do you do now? Do you
fight the other Titleist? Yeah, like... I don't
want to see Pacquiao get hurt. Yeah, it's long...
He should have stayed retired. I'm not sure what
compelled him to come out. I think he just gets
bored. Could be. Because he didn't get re -elected
to the Senate either, did he? I don't know. I
don't think so. Yeah. I don't know. That whole
division is just kind of trash right now. Well,
speaking of a division that's not trash, 140.
Yeah. Gary Antoine Russell versus Andy Hiraoka
in November. This could be fun, actually. I'm
excited for this. They're two very athletic,
and they have good pops. Two very athletic fighters.
It's gonna be fast. Yes. Like, I think there's
gonna be a lot of crazy combinations going on.
It's either gonna be really fast or really, really
slow. Because nobody wants to go first. Yeah,
I know, but no. We don't want that. We want them
to... We do not want that. Because this is the
younger... G -A -R, right? Yes. Okay. I get them
mixed up. Yeah, because they're all G -A -R.
Yeah. I like the older brother the most, but
the oldest brother the most. But this could be
a big stepping out for Hiroyuki. He's not very
old, is he? Do I have the right guy? He's in
his 20s, I believe. Yeah. If he can beat Gary
Russell, like... That's a big step up for him.
Yeah, this is a big step up. I think he's leaving
Japan for the first time. Yeah. Apparently he
fought in the bubble. Oh, interesting. And he
fought in Las Vegas in 2019, just scrolling through
his box rec. Yeah, I'm looking at it now too.
That bubble one, I think, was on the Inoue undercard.
When he fought... Who did he fight? Maloney?
During COVID? Jason Maloney. Yeah. But I... I
think it would be... I think it would be kind
of cool if Hiroyuki took off. He's not my style.
He's definitely not the typical Japanese... Like...
He's more slick than that. Yeah. That's what
I appreciate about him, is that he breaks the
mold. Yeah. I don't know where his dad's from,
because his middle name is Justice. So stupid.
He's African. Is he? Yes. Okay, that makes sense.
They like to give virtue names. Anyways, I think
that should be a fun fight. I'm actually looking
forward to that one. Yes, I am very excited for
this. I'm glad to see Andy's getting his shot
finally. Yeah, he's kind of been on the brink
of a shot for quite a while, hey? Yes. Oh, speaking
of being on the brink of a shot, Deontay Wilder
signed a fight in January. It's a different use
of brink of a shot. But we're going with it anyway.
Yeah. I don't know, man. I don't really want
to see Wilder anymore either. Yep, I don't want
to see him anymore either. And it's unfortunate
because I really liked him. Yeah, but it happens.
Do you know who he's fighting? Haven't seen,
just that he's set to fight. He's fighting. Yep.
There's rumors that the big fight Dave Allen
is promised is a Wilder fight. I don't think
that's true at all, but I've heard it in multiple
places. That would be interesting. That's kind
of the level that Wilder is at these days. Which
is unfortunate. Yeah. I expect this would be
a situation where the chat will say, dave allen
has more experience being washed of being a b
-level fighter yeah yeah i don't know how i didn't
really know about dave allen before because he's
funny as fuck yeah he is always he always does
silly stuff at weigh -ins yeah with his uh white
rhino shtick yeah Can we do a speaking of Brits,
I guess, leading into the next one? Yeah, speaking
of Brits, Callum Smith vs. David Murrell. It's
not set, but it's targeted for early 2026. Sometime
in Q1. Nice. So that's fun. I like Callum Smith.
Yeah, I like Callum Smith well enough. I like
David Murrell. I gotta look at who David Murrell
is, just so I can see his face. Yeah, I have
no opinion on David Murrell. I'm going to back
Callum Smith. I don't have too much. I don't
have a negative opinion of Callum Smith, but
I'm riding with David Murrell. That's fair. Yeah.
That's it for the news, though. Man, rest in
peace, Arturo Gatti Jr. Yeah, that one actually
made me really sad. He's only 17. 17? Yeah. Holy
shit. You still had your whole life ahead of
you, man. Yeah. Nah, that one's really sad. Yeah,
him being 17 is what has sparked the rumors that
it wasn't an accident. Because he inherits the
money next year. Or he would've. 18th birthday.
Yeah. Goodness gracious. It's crazy. But. Yeah.
I'm going to keep an eye on the story because
I want to see what develops out of that. I think
the story is probably finished. He committed
suicide in his house in Mexico. Damn. Yeah. It's
crazy. That was a little moment of silence for
him. Rest in peace, buddy. Let me put some notes

Speaking of silence, there's nothing to recap.
Fucking dire time. I had to dig down. To get
something to preview. And it's. Farewell to Brooklyn.
Brought to you by. Swift Promotions. Yeah I was.
Well I think we kind of talked about this a while
ago. I was shocked that Danny Garcia. Is doing
a farewell fight. I guess. I think he's doing
a farewell tour. That's crazy. You've been retired
for like. Four years. Yeah. I like Danny Garcia,
but it's weird to come out of retirement to retire.
Well, there are some interesting fights that
he has on here. He has Gabe Rosado. I do like
Gabe Rosado, but he should also be retired. Fighting
Vaughn Alexander. Who is Vaughn Alexander? I
don't think you'll remember him. I just remember
that one time he had these very bright salmon
pink shoes. Nice. Yeah, I don't recognize this
guy. He does not look like he's going to hurt
Rosado, which is good. No, he's not. I don't
think he's built for that. Chris Colbert is back.
He has fallen so far. Yes, he has. Back to the
eight round level. That's crazy. Quite the fall
from grace. And Joey DeWitchko. You probably
don't remember him. I just remembered his name
because it was funny to... Figure out how it
was pronounced. He had a problem with his...
He fought Richard Torres. Oh, he's the mouthpiece
guy. Yes, exactly. He had the mouthpiece problem.
He had one of those boil and bite type of pieces
of junk. Which is crazy work. For a professional?
Yeah. Don't do that. The guys had 45 fights.
And... Doesn't have a real mouthpiece? Yeah,
that's kind of strange. Crazy. Other than those
four... Let me see if I know who Dominic Crowder
is. I do not. Yeah, I don't recognize. It's just
the order of caring. Quincy Williams sounds like
a name I should know, but I don't recognize this
kid. I think Nahir Albright is supposed to be
on this card. I don't know. He fought Keyshawn
Davis. That was the one that got turned to a
no contest for the cannabis use. Then he fought
one of the other Davis brothers at the Norfolk
homecoming card where Keyshawn Davis blew weight
by like five pounds. Yeah, he's the guy that
got assaulted in the locker room, right? Yeah.
He doesn't have anything listed on BoxRec coming
up. That is fucking dire recaps and previews
though, Leo. Jesus Christ. There is a most valuable
promotions card on the same day. We want to talk
about that. There are two title fights on it.
Women's title fights. Lourdes Juarez versus Jessica
Plata for the WBC Light Flyweight title. It's
108. And Desley Robinson versus Logan Holler.
Oh, Lourdes Juarez, I recognize. Her pitcher.
IBF WBO middleweight titles will be on the line
for Robinson and Holler. Shredda Metcalf is fighting
on that one. I just recognize her name. Metcalf?
Yes. Metcalf's pretty good, actually. Or are
there two Metcalfs? Because Shredda doesn't...
That might be a different person. I think this
is the one. Is it? That's a bad picture if it
is, but that happens. Happens a lot on BoxRec.
It does, it does. Fought Mio Yoshida for the
IBF title. Won. Then fought Sharnika Johnson.
And lost. Yeah, okay, this is the same person.
Yes. That's a bad pitcher. Not ideal. Yeah, I
don't recognize very many people on this one.
Omar Juarez. is fighting omar rosario which makes
me laugh two omars yeah is omar that common of
a name yeah i think so oh okay i i've never i've
never met an omar two losses is there no pro
box this week either the pro box If there is,
I didn't track it. But I can check. Their next
card, I think, is on the 7th of November. That's
so long. And it's not on a fucking Wednesday.
I do miss the Wednesday night fights. Me too.
That November 7th card, I'm excited for though.
Yeah, it has some good fights. Flas is good.
Erdenbot. Dominic Valle. Akitsugi. Next by a
million cuts. Astrolabio is good too. That's
the fight I'm excited about. Akitsugi and Astrolabio.
That's a good one. That's it. Dire Straits we
are in. Good band though. Good what? Band. I
like Dire Straits. Oh. I was wondering what the
hell you meant. Alright. Dire Straits. That can
be our outro music this week. Yeah, if we wouldn't
get copyright strikes. Yeah, I know. I actually
have parting words this week. Let me do something
real quick. Pop quiz hotshot. What's tiny, fuzzy,
and responsible for a large portion of the food
we eat? If you guessed bees, well, you nailed
it. Seriously, one out of every three bites on
your plate depends on bees. So there's a bit
of bad news here. These little heroes of our
gardens and dinners are struggling. Between habitat
loss, climate change, and pesticides, It's a
fucking bummer. Without them, our world would
look a lot different and it would be a lot less
delicious. But there is good news. Support for

Uh, Yankees lose. Oh, that's right. It's baseball.
I fucking love Vladdy. Did you see? He called
in SportsCenter, and it was Vladdy and Big Poppy.
And they just did that in front of Jeter for
literally five minutes. Yankees lose. Well, just
back and forth with their accents, which made
it even funnier to me. And it's just, the Yankees
lose. One more, one more, one more. Yankees lose.
Fucking great. I really hope the Jays win it
this year, actually. And I think they can. They're
a really good team this year. I have a very diehard
Yankees fan friend. I'll have to record myself
doing a Yankees lose. Yeah, you should look up
the clip so you can do the accent. I'm sure you'd
be much better at it than I am. Fucking great.
The Yankees fans crashing out and the Blue Jays
fans being insufferable has made my entire week.
I fucking love it. Yeah, yeah. There's some bad
accents in Canada coming out when people get
excited and a little bit of drunk. That makes
it more fun. Yeah. The Ontarians all sound so
fucking stupid. But anyways, go Jays. Let's see.
I'm going to throw one in here from Earl Nightingale.
All you need is the plan, the roadmap, and the
courage to press on to your destination. Nice.
So if your destination is the World Series, the
roadmap. The roadmap includes the Yankees losing.
The whole world loves when the Yankees lose,
let's be honest. Yeah. The Jays are getting Bo
Bichette back too, which is one of their big
players that was out for the first series. Oof,
good timing. Yeah. Hopefully he doesn't fuck
everything up somehow. Alright, that's it. And
that's it for this edition of Boxing Before Dark.
My batteries are getting low. And it is getting
dark. Let's get the fuck out of here.
