The Beer Brothers proudly present the.
Speaker 2:Best Of A podcast about the best of everything, from the mundane to the ridiculous Just three buddies sitting around the card table talking about things that absolutely matter to no one.
Speaker 1:If you were expecting three guys around the table. It is three guys around the table, but we're doing another Best Of episode.
Speaker 2:Are we really considered around the table if we all sit toward one side?
Speaker 3:Well do we really? We're not surrounding the table. It's not a round table, is it?
Speaker 1:That's true, it's rectangular, it's not square, and we're not all sitting on one side, like you just said. Well, we're sitting toward one side, right, happy I mean you're over closer to me, and of course.
Speaker 2:Greg is sitting right next to me. Do you have to sit right next to me? I mean so close like this? Happy.
Speaker 3:I'm getting my blanket out too.
Speaker 2:All right, all right, it's cold in here.
Speaker 1:Happy Cinco de Mayo.
Speaker 2:It is Happy Cinco de Mayo.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what did you guys do to celebrate?
Speaker 3:I had some Mexican corn. Yeah, oh, I didn't eat it. See you later. We made it you know what else is.
Speaker 2:We had a surprise birthday party for my oldest child today, who will be 25. On Tuesday Went to Topgolf in Louisville. How about?
Speaker 1:that had a great time I like.
Speaker 3:Topgolf. It's a good time. Soon to be.
Speaker 2:Happy birthday, Taylor.
Speaker 1:Wow, happy birthday, topg. It is Cinco de Mayo. It's also the Sunday after the Kentucky Derby, which here in Kentucky obviously is a very, very big deal, and we know we have listeners all around the world.
Speaker 2:Including Oceania. Very strange. We will find you one of these days.
Speaker 1:Yes, Is it near Lima? I think it's somewhere south of there.
Speaker 2:Okay, everything's my guess again south of lima.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying so banned. Um, since we did have the kentucky derby yesterday, I think it would probably be a good time to talk about the best of overall sporting events. What are the biggies? What do you think is if we just had to say this is our one, this is the thing that we think is the best big time sporting event, whether it's kentucky derby, something dealing with with racing, it is not nhl.
Speaker 1:I can tell you that oh, the stanley cup's going to come into play, my friend who is stanley, lord stanley, what's up with this? Cup, yeah only the greatest trophy in all of sports but that's okay, oh.
Speaker 2:I think the Holman cups better.
Speaker 1:Oh, my God, all right. So, uh, I think that'll be a spirited discussion. From the sound of it, uh, because we've got some people here that know a lot about sports and some maybe that, if they don't even know what, lord the Lord, stanley's Cup is all about.
Speaker 3:I don't know how many beers can fit in Lord.
Speaker 1:Stanley's Cup. Well, the great thing to do is to eat cereal out of it All of them, from what I've been told. So let's begin, chris, since you obviously are the most opinionated.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I would say it's the Mega Bowl that was hosted by the Flint Tropics in Flint, michigan.
Speaker 1:I don't understand the crickets but I don't hear crickets.
Speaker 2:Do you hear crickets? I don't hear anything. It's so terrible. So the Mega Bowl hosted by the Flint Tropics in Flint, michigan semi-pro basketball team Do they drink the water? They don't now. They don't now. They don't now they bring it in.
Speaker 1:I mean that in and of itself, I think, is a disqualifying event.
Speaker 2:So I'm making a reference to the movie Semi-Pro.
Speaker 1:Yes, If you don't know it's a fantastic movie.
Speaker 2:If you've never seen it, you need to watch it. Will Ferrell it's great. Woody Harrelson give a little shout out there to those guys Because, because they are two of our listeners, we know this. We do know that for a fact. That's right. So I've got a lot of mixed feelings on this, because I've had the very great fortune of attending a lot of the big sporting events NBA playoffs or NBA finals Playoffs. I attended one time it was the Miami Heat and the Indianapolis Pacers. I bet that was riveting. Playoffs, okay, I attended one time it was the Miami Heat and the Indianapolis Pacers. I bet that was riveting.
Speaker 3:Playoffs.
Speaker 1:Okay, and I'm going to go ahead and tell you guys being there live not worth it.
Speaker 2:It's just. I don't know If you're a huge NBA fan. I don't think. I don't like NBA basketball.
Speaker 3:Well, I'm just not a fan. I haven't been since the 80s.
Speaker 1:Well, 90s.
Speaker 2:I think the only way you would get into a the playoffs is if your team is in it, because I gotta tell I didn't care who won it was. I was there but there was nothing special. It was like going to any other nba game.
Speaker 1:It was just and blah when you when you grow up, watching bird and and magic and then transitioning into michael jordan? That era that. I mean that was the house of the odd days.
Speaker 3:What about the ABA era? Well, I was a big fan.
Speaker 1:I was a big fan. You know when you're talking. David Thompson and Julius Irving. They used to play in the ABA before he went to the Sixers. Yeah, aba was awesome.
Speaker 2:However, so anyhow, no, nba is not even nowhere on the list. I've been to the Indianapolis 500 a lot.
Speaker 1:This is the best of all the ones that you've been to.
Speaker 2:I'm narrowing it down.
Speaker 3:I am narrowing it down. Can you pick one?
Speaker 2:So here's where I'm going. I believe, regionally speaking, if we're going across the board, in the United States nothing beats the Super Bowl. I mean, there's so much. Nobody watches NFL games until the Super Bowl. Everybody watches it, for the commercials Are you crazy the money.
Speaker 3:Well, you know what I'm saying. Nfl gets watched a ton.
Speaker 1:The NFL's the highest rated sporting event during the year.
Speaker 2:My mother does not watch pro football and she watches the Super Bowl. Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1:That makes a little more sense so the commercials the halftime show.
Speaker 2:you know they announced the halftime show way before the Super Bowl and to me the Super Bowl is unsurpassed as far as the largest spectacle in sports.
Speaker 1:So this is a good place for actually a serious question what makes one of these sporting events the best? What makes it the best of? Is it the spectacle? Is it the players and all they have to go through to earn, whatever they're doing? Is it the number of people that show up? Is it the number of people that watch it? What is it? I think, those are important questions I think it's less about the players.
Speaker 2:I think it's less about the game itself. I think it's the entire immersement into the atmosphere, everything else, the Kentucky Derby is a prime example. Here in Kentucky, it's the biggest thing going, yep.
Speaker 1:There were 160,000 people there yesterday. The pomp, the circumstance, the history.
Speaker 2:It is the greatest two minutes in sports. But everybody has derby parties and everybody does this kind of thing. But I don't think it reaches outside of Kentucky as the Superbowl does.
Speaker 1:I think if you look at the ratings yeah, if you looked at the ratings there yesterday it's probably a bigger bump than their normal Saturday afternoon programming, but I don't think it would get anywhere near.
Speaker 3:And the race yesterday was unbelievable.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, unbelievable, what a nasty track they had rolling all for two days and it wasn't bad at race time.
Speaker 3:I couldn't believe it. I mean, when you've got two horses within a nose, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's pure excitement and thank God no horses were injured and you know that can cast a pall.
Speaker 3:It can.
Speaker 1:That'll really put you down. Oh nice pun.
Speaker 3:That's two.
Speaker 1:I'm going to count how many crickets show up for him today. All right, mark, you're up To me. The reason I ask those questions is because I agree with Chris in terms of the spectacle is really, really important. However, I think, if you're talking about just the, if you put aside the spectacle, because I don't think anyone could argue with the Super Bowl, maybe across the world, the World Cup, world Cup, right the final, the World Cup finals are huge.
Speaker 2:I agree and the.
Speaker 1:World.
Speaker 3:Cup finals are huge. I agree. And the Germans always win.
Speaker 1:Yeah, how many Super Bowls can we look back on and say, oh my God, that was just amazing, that was so exciting. A lot of them are blowouts, some of them have been pretty good, but I think, for the sheer excitement of the actual event, I'm going to be very, very specific and say a game seven in the Stanley Cup Finals. If we're ever fortunate enough to get a game seven, much like the one that's on right now, that's in the first round of the playoffs between Vegas and Dallas Playoffs Exactly.
Speaker 1:They're in a game seven. Game sevens are completely different than anything else that you'll ever see, and uh just the sharing.
Speaker 3:They don't try in games one through six.
Speaker 1:I say that the level of of pressure is so increased because, like, okay, there was a game seven last night between, uh, Toronto and Boston. Boston got out to a three one series lead. Toronto wins the next two. Boston last year blew a game seven in the first round of the playoffs to Florida. So they're in the same predicament last night and it goes to overtime. One to one, it goes to overtime, Boston wins it in overtime. And you almost could feel the relief of every single fan in TD Garden last night.
Speaker 1:So I think for me, if you're looking at just the game itself, if you're lucky enough to get a game seven in a Stanley Cup final, it doesn't get any better than that, greg.
Speaker 3:I'm more of a college fan, yep. So I would say I personally think the NBA or NCAA basketball tournament's the best event in sports. I don't think there's a whole lot of debate about that, because it's truly a playoff For the totality. Correct, the totality. I mean look, you could have a championship game, like I had this year, and it ended up being a blowout, but it's the one way to prove you've got a champion. I mean, the, the champion of the nit is not going to beat the nza champion.
Speaker 2:I mean they're just not, but it's the champion of the nit, the 67th best team, probably not.
Speaker 3:They're probably more like the 25th or something like that because, because you got teams in there who, if you were ranking the top 68 teams, they wouldn't be in it, but they won their conference tournament so there you go.
Speaker 1:I think that's a really good point.
Speaker 3:Again, when you think about the totality of the event, you can throw in Well and I'll tell you this I think the college football playoffs has the potential to be in that, now that we're going to have 12 teams in, it's going to be really interesting. This year There'll be 12. I mean, there'll be eight SEC teams and then four. That's funny 100% If you finish in the top half of the SEC. You're in, that's right.
Speaker 1:It may be six and six between the Big Ten and the SEC.
Speaker 3:There's no power five anymore, it's a power two.
Speaker 1:That's right yeah.
Speaker 3:There's no Power 5 anymore, it's a Power 2. That's right.
Speaker 1:I mean no question about that. I like that, though. I like that discussion about the totality of the event, because you know the Kentucky Derby is like you said, chris two minutes.
Speaker 3:It's regional, yeah, it is yeah, but it's two minutes. I mean the NCAA tournament's four weeks Exactly, and it's a spectacular four weeks.
Speaker 2:That is my most favorite four weeks.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's the reason why I think they see it.
Speaker 2:Because I'll watch anybody play basketball Right, and I do the same with football, so I'm excited about the football playoffs.
Speaker 1:And I think a lot of it has to do with what you're drawn to For me. I love the Stanley Cup playoffs. I mean I have no rooting interest here in Vegas versus Dallas.
Speaker 3:But why do you keep saying you hope Vegas wins? I'm not, because we all do.
Speaker 1:Vegas won last year.
Speaker 2:They won the cup.
Speaker 1:So I'm all about let's get some fresh blood in there.
Speaker 3:Don't mess with Texas.
Speaker 1:But, man, I'd watch every one of these games that's on Because, again, it's the totality of it that I do enjoy.
Speaker 3:What's the best sporting event that you personally enjoyed, Not whether you were there whether you watched it. Yeah, I mean a specific game or something like that. I mean, I can pick mine like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know what yours is.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no question.
Speaker 1:Yep, I know what yours is. Yeah, no question. Yep, I know what mine is.
Speaker 2:Do you have?
Speaker 1:one.
Speaker 3:Chris, I'll have one in a second, I've got a couple.
Speaker 2:I've got to figure this one out like always.
Speaker 1:I've got four. That I've got really kind of way through.
Speaker 2:Yep, I've got one.
Speaker 3:I've got one and it's higher than any other one and it's not close for me.
Speaker 3:I wouldn't think about this one, I mean mine was 18 minutes of rain in Game 7 of the World Series. That ended the 107-year drought for the Cubs. Yep, I mean, I can get in chill bumps on my arm just saying that. Yep, I mean, whenever I walk into Wrigley Field, janie always takes a picture of me because I get chill bumps on my face and on my arms and things like that. It is the most memorable. I can almost tell you every at-bat what somebody did. It was just after they got down 3-1 and then came back.
Speaker 3:No question, it's my most memorable.
Speaker 2:Not close. 1996 NCAA Finals Kentucky versus Syracuse. I was a senior in college.
Speaker 3:We've not won it since 1978.
Speaker 2:And we I was living in a house just off campus and we had some people over and watched the game and as soon as we won what? 76-67,. As soon as we won, of course. As soon as we won, of course, we had just beaten john calipari and umass to get to the deep, to get to the final game, right?
Speaker 2:yes, and when we won it was pandemonium, and I lived on the corner of oldham and columbia, literally just off woodland avenue, and that's when all the students gathered at woodland and euclid and you've seen the posters and the pictures of just thousands of kids. And we didn't flip cars or burn couches, it was just you weren't on State.
Speaker 3:Street, that's true.
Speaker 2:But everybody was just yelling and cheering. I mean it was just so much of emotion because, number one, we'd not won since 78. You know, being in school and being a part of it and knowing some of these players, it was just really, really really.
Speaker 1:I have a really tough time but I have one, and I'll mention the other honorable mentions, but the one was during COVID.
Speaker 3:When masks were working.
Speaker 1:The 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs that were in the bubble All of the teams, they all had to go to Toronto. They all were in Toronto and they battled for the Stanley Cup and the Lightning won. And when the Lightning won it was their second of three cups and the other two were two of my honorable mentions, but when they won that Stanley Cup it was the first one that I got to enjoy with.
Speaker 2:Ava that she got to.
Speaker 1:We were watching it in that other room in there and I remember, as the time was ticking down, it was they're gonna do it, they're gonna do it, you know. And again, chill bumps, yeah, sure, uh. So tears of joy. That was uh, because you know that that's uh to to beat. Uh, you know, when you're one of the, there are 32 teams that are fighting and they're bleeding and sweating for this thing, getting broken bones. That don't get announced until after it's all said and done. So that one definitely Honorable mentions. I'd say the 2002 and the 2014-15 Ohio State Football Championships were both very special the 1990 World Series for the reds, when they went wire to wire yeah, and I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 3:You all know I'm not a reds fan. I thought oakland was just gonna smack. Oh, everyone did, we did.
Speaker 1:I mean I thought I thought oakland was invincible. They were a super team. Yeah, and the reds I Just destroyed them.
Speaker 2:But the pitching was so dominant for the Reds that year.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if you got to the sixth inning it was over, it was over, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Let's talk about some other things we've done that really mean a lot to us sporting event-wise. Yeah, Something else that was cool. Let me just throw one last one, because this was one of the earliest Best of three.
Speaker 1:Yeah sorry, but when I was a kid, 1980.
Speaker 3:I was four.
Speaker 1:I was nine. When? What do we got out there? We got someone waving. It's one of our fans.
Speaker 3:We got two ladies and two dogs Walking by.
Speaker 1:Are they waving?
Speaker 3:Yes, they were Great.
Speaker 2:But they're only waving with one finger.
Speaker 3:It happens.
Speaker 1:It was in the afternoon and was on a tape delay. But watching the US men's hockey team beat the Russians, I still remember that that was one of the most shocking obviously miraculous wins, so that one was special just to remember that.
Speaker 2:But you know what's so unique about that? And the movie Miracle is a Disney movie. It's great, don't be stunned you never.
Speaker 3:Haven't seen it. Kurt Russell is amazing. Kurt Russell is amazing in that movie. It's her.
Speaker 2:Brooks yeah, but the ironic thing about that is Kurt Russell is amazing. Kurt Russell is amazing in that movie. It's Herb Brooks, yeah, but the ironic thing about that is I vaguely remember my dad watching that but what's ironic about it is?
Speaker 1:that's not the game that they won the gold medal in. They had to play Canada after it. It was Sweden. They had to play Canada right at the end. No, it was Sweden.
Speaker 3:I believe Sweden? Okay, Sweden has a huggy demon.
Speaker 1:They Eaton has a hockey team. I didn't think were competitive. They actually got the lead on the United States in that gold medal game. But yeah, you're right, that was the. This is to get to the gold medal round.
Speaker 2:Yep, so yeah, but there was so much going on with, you know, the Iron Curtain and all that going on, the politics with Gorbachev and Reagan.
Speaker 1:Oh, and they had played. Look, these were, this is. They were not professional hockey players, they were college hockey players. That's a big difference. And the Russians were pros and had beaten the pros. And they played a scrimmage like a charity game before the Olympics against the Russians in Madison Square Garden and just kicked the living crap out of the United States. It was like 10 to 1. I mean, that's as that's as bad as you can get beat, and for the united states to just a few weeks later knock them off.
Speaker 1:It was, it was pretty impressive, impressive. Now you wanted to talk about yeah, other things.
Speaker 2:I like you know the regional things. Like I mentioned the indy 500, which is awesome. You go to that.
Speaker 1:It's of course, it's such a what's bigger, indy or daytona, two different kinds of racing, obviously I think, I think daytona in its, I think in its prime daytona was big.
Speaker 2:I think there's a bigger following for nascar period than it is indycar right, I agree, or formula one. So now, on a grand scale, formula one's the biggest it's the biggest right, but IndyCar is just.
Speaker 2:I started going to time trials and Carb Day, then the 500 when I was in. Well, I'll tell you, I was 13 when I started going and it's just for a local thing. There's so much going on and so much to it. But you know what? It's not something you sit down and watch on Memorial Day weekend, it's just not. What about NHRAA? Nhraa finals.
Speaker 3:Well, the biggest race of the year is the US Nationals on Labor Day weekend in Indianapolis. It's cool. Look, it's something that you should experience when you're sitting there and there's two cars that have 11,000 horsepower and they take off at the same time and the stand shake a little bit and they go a quarter mile in about three and a half seconds at 330 miles an hour. Nice, it's. It's pretty impressive. I mean, that always draws a huge crowd, but, but nothing like but it's not something.
Speaker 2:The average person sits at home and watches. Right now something we've not mentioned that Greg and I have both been, and we're both fans of yeah this was going to be what I was going to say. I'll let you have it, man, I'm going to tell you one, just a second. You brought up something you did with Ava, something that Logan and I got to do that was so awesome is when we went to the Field of Dreams game. Yeah, that was good with Logan and the whole deal.
Speaker 2:It was so cool, the whole experience, but I think and I'm going to let you take yours because I just gave you the tee off on it. Opening day for the Cincinnati Reds is a local awesome thing.
Speaker 1:It's not just the game, it's the whole, it's nothing like anything else.
Speaker 3:The game never, really matters, no the family market parade and the whole deal, man.
Speaker 1:I've been to opening day in Tampa, right Not?
Speaker 2:even the same right? No, yeah, no, it's a game At the Reds. They shut down the city.
Speaker 1:I mean it is shut down, they call off school. I mean, you know, it's a big deal. All right, Greg, what was the Masters? Yes, sir?
Speaker 3:Yeah, to me it is, is it? Don't you think it is to everybody, though? All the players? Don't you think the Masters is the thing? I think that if it's the Open Championship and it's at St Andrews, I think it's up there, like when it's at Royal Troon or something like that. I don't think it is.
Speaker 3:Phil Mickelson would say the US Open is the most important one. Of course he would. The PGA Championships it's fourth on the list, right, but the Masters TV doesn't do it justice. It's way more beautiful than what TV shows and on TV it looks fantastic and the amount of attention to detail that is done at the Masters Golf Tournament is second to none. For example and I know I've told you two guys this we were there with some friends of ours and TV doesn't show how hilly it is.
Speaker 3:I mean because the clubhouse is up on top and everything goes down to Rays Creek at the bottom, and I mean, and it's downhill and the ladies were in sandals. Janie and this other lady were in this. Our friend took her shoes off. While we're standing at the 12th t guy comes over and says you can't put your bare feet on our grass, and that's just the way it was. I mean he wasn't rude about it, but I mean that's, that's the kind of detail, that's the kind of detail they pay attention to there, and I mean everything is manicured perfectly, yeah.
Speaker 2:And I agree with you on all that, especially being an LE, because I've walked 18 a bunch. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 3:I mean TV doesn't do it at all justice it just shows you Like the 18th green. It's the long rectangular green. It's got three different levels. When I say three different levels, it's six feet from top to bottom.
Speaker 1:As someone who's never gone. Let's say, you go to the Masters, you get in, you just go to one spot. No, how does it work? Honestly, I don't know.
Speaker 3:You can do whatever you want. My PGA Tour watching experience is I start on hole one and I walk the entire course and then I go pick a spot. Okay, but I go. Even at Valhalla I did the exact same thing. I go start on hole one, I walk the whole thing and then I go pick a spot. So, like the last time the PGA Championship was there, walked the whole course, went to 17.
Speaker 2:I've done it both ways. You can take seats in it at the Masters, but you have to take in their folding chair.
Speaker 2:Correct you don't have to have it, you have to buy it, set the chair on 14, which is a par 3. And then we'll walk 18 and we walk it backwards, or we'll start off. Once they start off, sure, yeah, and we'll see the start and then go that way, but kind of wrapping this whole thing, not wrapping it up. Yet. No-transcript draws a large crowd on television, no question. Huge, that tells you how big the Masters is. The football, playoffs, playoffs, super Bowl, huge NCAA basketball, huge Derby, huge Indianapolis 500, I still think it's regional right. The Reds games, I would tell you we watch them all. Regional, yeah, but there's things we're not mentioning, like Wimbledon. Huge On a world scale, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Wimbledon's huge. Nobody cares about it. But it's unless you're right you should have said it, though it occurs over a fortnight, which is Fortnight, that's a video game you know how much a fortnight is? Well, I would, because it's a Fortnite.
Speaker 3:It's. Wimbledon Is Fortnite a video game.
Speaker 2:It is yeah, hello, eat your strawberries and Koi cream eh, so the World Cup in soccer is past. I'd say most people would say on an international level that's the greatest sporting event in the world. Yep.
Speaker 3:Yep, I agree, I've watched it. Germans always win. 22 guys chase the ball, germans always win.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no one mentioned WrestleMania.
Speaker 2:I was waiting for you.
Speaker 1:What about OVW Double crossed? I would think that's probably A little regional. So did you, did you?
Speaker 3:Well, just a minute they had some issues With their Pay per view cast, and so they give refunds To everybody. And it's going to put it out for free, oh really yeah they said it wasn't up to their standards of their productions.
Speaker 1:Wow, they must have very high standards wow, they have standards now, when that happened so we can all then agree that it's the stanley cup playoffs great but.
Speaker 3:But wrestlemania draws in 100 000, I mean 97 000 two nights, 97,000 two nights in a row Two nights in a row?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it is a spectacle.
Speaker 3:But who would sit in the top of a football stadium to watch WrestleMania? And look, I like wrestling as much as anybody, yeah, but I'm not sitting there where it looks like two ants down there.
Speaker 1:I saw an interview with Hulk Hogan actually today where he was talking about how, back in his day, you had the wrestlers were the attractions, whether it was Monster man or Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair or the Rock or Stone Cold, those were the attractions. Now, who's the attraction? It's not the wrestlers, it's the actual spectacle, it's the wrestlers. It's the actual spectacle.
Speaker 3:It's the event and it's the production that goes on.
Speaker 1:You know like when Cody Rhodes wears the big helmet and comes out to the song, Everyone talks about the song as soon as you say Cody Rhodes Great song oh great, great song Right now. They don't talk about. You know the wrestling.
Speaker 2:Well, it's just like when the road dog Jesse James and the badass Billy Gunn came out and you heard oh, you didn't know.
