Click timestamps to jump to that momentArgentina is up two to one. First to
three goals wins. It's the 2026 Kings
Cup. This is pool play. It's twoon one.
Well, two on two and the goalie. And
we're going to get a little pause here.
Commit to me. Commit to me. I'm going
psych. I'm passing open net. No goalie.
Makes the save, stands up, boots it all
the way across the arena into the net.
And that is how Argentina won. And that
is how Japan lost. Unbelievable finish
in the Kings Cup. This was being played
in Brazil. This is something you missed
that you never planned on watching. Take
another look. Made the save. Gets up
boots. And I got to be honest, we've got
a doozy of an episode for you guys
today. Thank you very much to DraftKings
for sponsoring and for you guys for
tuning in. Once again, this is
everything you missed that you never
planned on watching.
To the bobsled World Cup we go where
team USA is looking to do some damage in
the fourman bobsled.

said the crowd. They're going crazy.
Okay, we got Chris Horn. That's the
driver. That's the guy in front.
Everyone knows he's the most important.
He's in the bathtub at night while the
other guys are partying. We've all seen
it. Oh no, the second Oh my goodness
gracious. They're all out. The other
three riders do not get in the sled. Our
guy Chris Horn is going down solo. The
weight distribution is all wrong. It's
kind of like when you go to a water park
and you would you would miss the tube on
purpose. One time I did that, me and my
sister went up top and I wanted to go
down no tube, but what happened? I
jumped off the back top of the tube,
flipped because the way she busted her
face, came down. My mom was at the
bottom. She came down just crying her
eyes out. I came down laughing. She was
like, "Oh my god." Anyway, he's doing
great. Turns out he doesn't need him. I
mean, it's bumpy and rickety and they
got disqualified, but why not give it to
her? Only problem is, did you see that?
He turned to look right here and he's
like, "Oh, no one's in this thing with
me." The breakman Sanka, he's in the
back. He has to get up and he shifts to
the back seat of the bobsled to pull the
brakes. He's a one-man band. He was in
the twoman race earlier and his breakman
got injured in an accident and he that
that guy was also in the fourman but had
to get replaced by, you guessed it, the
second guy who botched it all. This guy
I mean he hits the netting and just gets
spun, dude. Like I hope he's okay.
If that was a real wall, that would
stink. Luckily, it was like a net. I
don't know. Still looks bad. And did the
guy in the very end just bail? Was he
like, "I don't want to do this." Looks
like they're having much more fun. Get
me out of here. Anyway, that sled gone.
Junk it. Next, let's head to the
Venezuelan Professional Baseball League.
Luis Anel Akunia, Mets infielder,
brother of Akunia. He had himself a day.
First pitch of this atbat hits a bomb
into the empty seats in left. Turns a 34
deficit into a 6-4 lead. That ball was
inside. He opened the hips up, went and
got it. His next at bat, or I don't know
if this next at bat, can't be, but later
in the game, first pitch again from a
lefty. big deficits 15 to7 now. Now it's
16 to7. So they're just running away
with it. But he's got two homers on the
day. This one was a bit of a hanger over
the plate. Hits it with the end of the
bat. Knew it right away into the night.
Sky. Okay. And now here he comes in the
seventh inning. There's two outs. He's
hit two home runs. Both of them on the
first pitch of the at bat. Is he going
to get another juicy one? Or do they
know maybe make him chase? Let's not
just give him a pitch in the zone. The
kid's hot. There you go. Fast ball up
top and then fast ball up and away. Gets
the strike. He says, "It's all right. I
wasn't going to hit that anyway. I'm
trying to pull the ball." And that was
high and away. So, why don't you just
throw some lazy off speed and let me
yank it into them empty seats again?
That's three homers on the day. Nobody
in this league has ever hit four home
runs in a single game. Can it happen?
Well, this is the ninth inning. The
batter before him in a 10-run game, they
throw at him once. They throw at him
twice. And the batter lets him know
that's twice now. Twice you threw at me.
I didn't appreciate it either time. And
then bench is clear. It's a lot to do
about nothing. They eject that pitcher.
That batter goes to first base because
like he says twice. Twice now. Uh once
and then twice. And now we're counting
and the manager saying let's all get out
of here. Come on. Let's get out of here.
Which brings up our next batter and
brings in a position player and the
first pitch of the at bat. Absolute
ephus ball. And he smashes it. I don't
care if we're up 10. I want to be the
first player in Venezuelan professional
baseball to hit four homers in a single
game. And that I have. Out of my
brother's shadow, I bloom.
I don't know if he thought all of that,
but it was cool. And it he hit four home
runs. And there three of them came on
the first pitch. So that's nice. Look at
that.

The crown is Jake. And now for the real
deal, the highlight of the show, the
Ohio Botchi League Championship between
the Wickliffe Barbarians and Youngstown
Flash. Youngsttown Flash. They were six
seed out of six teams going into the
playoffs. They find themselves in the
championship. And look at this. flashing
their feet down the carpet, watching
that ball gently roll. And he says, "All
right, we've got that one. Let's see if
they can counter. See if they can do a
little banger." And the barbarians say,
"We're barbarians, baby. That's all we
do. Bangerang your ass." Knocks him out.
Now, this old guy in the hat, he wants a
high five. He's gonna go down the the
line and that means he's going low, but
the guy up top thinks it's coming to him
and he gets he falls for it. He almost
hits him in the head. He he just it was
they weren't on the same page with the
high fives. But what they do know is
they're barbarians and we will bully you
off this carpet. Look at the replay.
Look at that. Look at Bam. And now who's
up? Us. Old man Flash says two can play
that game. Young and he knocks his ball
away. He gets high. Hey, they're banging
on the dang glass. The opponent is
high-fiving him. Nice roll. This guy,
I'm all fingertips. I'm on the
barbarians, but I'm kind of the gentle
soul of the bunch. I'm just going to get
inside you. I'm going to get inside the
ball. I'm going to get inside your head.
Boom. Look at that. But one sleeve
rolled up, the backhand, the bounce, the
stare, the form. The barbarian closer
knocks him away and gives them the
victory. Unbelievable.
How about that? That's botchi. That's
what it does. The Wickliff Barbarians
become the first ever Ohio Botchi League
champions. And we witnessed it and we
enjoyed it and we were impressed. Here's
a hockey goal you will remember forever.
kind of like everyone remembers the
first Michigan that was done and that's
seared in your brain, the grainy
footage, you remember it. Well, this
goal, this play by Abby Murphy on
Minnesota, you're going to remember as
soon as you see the slow-mo replay cuz
you saw it right there and you're like,
I think I saw something cool. What
happened? What was it? Just wait. This
is the goalie is like, I don't care.
Whatever. You're going to remember this.
And sometimes this makes you think they
credit who got the goal wrong. Oh my
god. Okay. flips it up. Defender pulls
her hand up, pulls her eyes up, bats it
underneath between the defender's leg,
backhands it to a teammate who nets it.
And like 97 gets credit for the goal.
Bella Finale, I think, is her name. But
I mean, this is Abby Murphy's goal. We
got to rework how we give credit for
goals. I think we don't have to. But
who's the playmaker here? I mean, look
at this play. I If you watch this,
you're going to remember. You're going
be like, "Oh, yeah. Yeah, cool play. I
saw it. Let's call it the Abby Murphy.
Is it called something? Hockey
community, please don't tell me this is
already called something. Let's call it
the Murphy. Call it the Murphy. Call it
the Abby Murphy.
That was everything you missed that you
never planned on watching. Thank you
very much for tuning in. Appreciate you
guys as always. I got to say this was a
banger of an episode. This was a good
episode. This is an episode you share
with your friends and your aunts and
your uncles and that cousin who you
don't talk to but you know they like
sports.
Goodbye.
