People never talked about the 1900’s version of the 'teens when we were kids. Heard about 20’s -70’s - lived through the 80’s and 90’s and then came the ‘Aughts which we called the 2000s, and we never really switched to the “teens” for these past ten years. We called the the 2010’s — which is fine - but the past 7 years were the teens.

Tyler Seguin and two teammates

NHL Players in fancy suits on Bird Scooters saying stuff - that’s a wild confluence of events.

WWE Comes to the US Open w/ Daniil Medvedev playing the Tennis Heel role

Pro Wrestling has come to The US Open:

Places listening - Australia in 2nd place, followed by Brazil, UK, Mexico, Vietnam, amongst others.

#1 City this week, Gosnells Australia which is a suburb of Perth out there in Western Australia.

The introductions of the players on the main court — they now dim the lights and play music when players come out

Star Singles players are now pairing up for doubles and playing before sellout crowds - like Tag Teams

Andy Murray is playing - Coco Gauff is teamed with Katie McNally - they’re 15 and 17 respectively

Kristie Ahn is a local kid born 2 miles away in Flushing hospital. This is storybook stuff.

Naomi Osaka brought Coco out for post match interview - going for the Tear Jerking moment on live TV - whether spontaneous or planned - it was both authentic and made for TV.

Djokovic gets booed because he has to withdraw from the match against Stan Wawrinka. “Joker” is in the midst of a run in which he’s won 4 of the past 5 majors and injury bug finally catches him.

People Booed because they wanted a longer match — but he handled it great.

13th mid-match retirement for Djokovic, 6th in a major

Now openly stating his goal to break Federer’s record - this has got to be killing him.

Stan Wawrinka seeded 23 - finally seeded again after a few rough years of injuries. Two knee surgeries. He’s just 6-19 against Joker but has now won 2 in a row including when he won the US Open against Joker. Stan is a 3 time major champion and the crowd is going to be ALL IN on him in his next match.

Because Stan’s next match is against the guy who we’re actually here to talk about today.

#5 Seed, Daniil Medvedev of Russia. Perfect wrestling heel behavior. He was rude to a ball boy in public. He gave a thinly veiled middle finger during his 3rd round match.

Crowd started booing him and in his post match press conference.

He basically went all Ravishing Rick Rude on them.

Told them in a very sarcastic / mocking tone that the energy they gave him motivated him to keep pushing, and that if they keep that same level of energy for him, he’d have enough energy to win 5 more matches and take the title.

He followed that up against a German Qualifier, Dominik Koepfer, who played at Tulane. Crowd was literally chanting “Let’s Go Koepfer” in unison like it was a Yankees Game.

He got down a set - and then came back to win the match in 4 sets. He again mocked the crowd in sarcastic fashion and essentially is “DRINKING IN THE BOOS”.

But. this is genius. The guy is #5 seed in tournament and nobody outside of tennis circles knew him or was talking about him before this. In a world in which everybody is talking about the Big Three and Serena… he’s a top five player in the world toiling in anonymity.

My take is, he’s seen how much attention Nick Kygrios (sp?) gets for his antics, and he’s like - I’m way more consistent than that guy - I’m as good as pretty much anybody. If they won’t love me, and if they won’t acknowledge me as a really good player… i’m going to brand myself as the heel.

And that’s working this week. The interesting part will be if he embraces this long-term and how that plays out if he does.

Luke warm take - if he wins the US Open - I bet the President congratulates him on twitter, and might even invite Medvedev to White House.

But Stan Wawrinka looks like he’s all the way back - so we’ll see if he even gets to the Quarterfinals. NYC loves a hero, but they also love a villain.

Last thing, How about Nadal and Federer have never met each other in the US Open ever, in any round of the tournament.

Turning 40

To Quote Mike Gundy, “I’m a man, I’m 40!”

Places listening: Turkey #2, Mexico #3, Spain #4 - UK, Russia, Colombia, Philippines, Ireland, Germany, Egypt, India, France, Bangladesh, Switzerland, Dominican Republic, Libya, Senegal, Belgium and more - awesome stuff 

Also - an interesting influx in the amount of downloads in Saudi Arabia lately - that’s interesting timing 

You know the “birds fans” come out when we talk eagles - ambler Pa, cherry hill NJ, and philly were 3 of top 4... Mountain View Ca #3. Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir all rounds out top two cities. Three tukish cities pretty amazing 

Do me a favor and subscribe to the podcast on apple podcast, follow us on twitter @gavinviano and tell 1 friend to check out the podcast 

I’m going to keep grinding on this thing, trying to grow it - and when the freestyle turns 4 this january — Drew Brees (saints QB will turn 40) which means if the saints make Super Bowl, we’d have 2 different 40 years old’s start at QB in consecutive super bowls. I think it’ll happen. Also, why does nobody give Drew Brees the same “ageless wonder” credit they give Tom Brady — he’s also basically 5’11’’ - what he does is amazing 

Biggest issues w jay bilas’ “restructuring of college basketball”

If we take out amateurism- what happens to “max years of eligibility” - if it’s a business- you can’t tell employees they’re too old 

If we downsize division 1 - then many average teams that pad their win totals currently, will be exposed as being bad. Fans don’t flock to see bad teams.

Down sizing also makes it “minor leagues”. Americans don’t like minor league sports en masse. 

College basketball being an “open entry national championship” is the best thing it has going for it. Limiting d1 teams to like 80 is bad Idea. 

Only good way to downsize d1 - would be adopting soccer style promotion and relegation - and March madness would still need to be open entry- in fact it could be like the FA cup. That actually could expand March madness

Players should get to profit from their likeness. Period. Open market decides what they are worth. If they want a salary they should go to the G league or play overseas. If they’re not good enough to get endorsements and/or play in a professional league, then guess what - they’re not professional 

Americans don’t like minor league sports. You remove amateurism ethos- I think you kill the mystique and kill the golden goose 

I hate when 23 year olds on instagram try to give sage drinking advice to their 19 year old selves. Me at 19 vs me at 23. Listen if you can’t find an extra gear at 23, you’re doing it wrong. 

The only thing that should slow you down before age 27 is lack of money and/or having a child - anything else - you’re doing it wrong. 

Instagram

You’re allowed to complain a tad at 27 and then every three years after that. 

Why can’t Biggie say “gats in holsters” w/o getting edited - but anyone can buy a gun. How can a country so in love w guns - allow censorship around talking about guns in  pop song. 

Best rock: pop songs featuring bag pipes. 

Long way to the top of you wanna rock n roll

Shipping up to Boston 

Back in the highlife again

So I married an axe murder version of do ya think I’m sexy (rod stewart) 

Amazing Grace (not fair)

Malibu has essentially burned down and we’re thinking about everyone effected by fires there and elsewhere. 

Thanksgiving is the best holiday to enjoy with your friends and family. Enjoy!!!

Can the Philadelphia Eagles repeat? Mid-term Mania. This Red Sox Parade was more than just Duck Boats!

Was 2018 the first “eff you parade” in Boston sports history? 

Seems like that attitude was pure jubilation and feeling bullet proof as a fanbase. 

Price has his eff you parade for towards then fans. 

The Boston sports fans had theirs towards the philly fans for stealing a super bowl.  

This title was a collective realization that even if Tom Brady is never gonna win another and even if the pats go back to being bad... Boston fans just realized - as long as the Sox have good ownership and tons of 💰- we have a franchise that’s won 4 titles in 15 seasons with 3 diff managers... dozens of different players. Hockey is super random. And Boston Celtics aren depended on outsmarting opponents because it’s tough for them  to get free agents. But the Sox - they can miss and take years off and hit bottom, but they’ll always get it right a couple times a decade

The Sox were our city’s first love and are now our best hope to keep the party going once the pats dynasty is no more 

places listening - Turkey, Ireland, UK, Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Philippines, Slovakia, Germany, Brazil, British Indian Ocean Territory & More 

Philadelphia Eagles What’s the mood right now at 4-4? 

Is getting each team’s best shot week after week what you expected? 

What’s the feeling for the next 8 games? Home & Away vs Cowboys and Skins, at Saints, at Rams, Home Giants, Home Texans

What’s the city’s feelings on your QB situation? 

Can your guys go on the road and get Saints or Rams? What about winning on road in playoffs? 

How was the raising of the banner on the first game of the year? 

Are people still basking in that Super Bowl win or are fans finally more focused on this seasons results? I felt like after Pats first title - i dealt with their 9-7 season in a way of saying well we’re still the champs until the super bowl… i’ve since stopped feeling that way about title teams. 

MID-TERMS!?!?!!? Any hot takes 

Most Overrated Bands of all-time (prep show)

Most overrated bands/performers of all time

places listening: Philippines, Australia, Indonesia, Canada, UK, UAE, Russia (high vladimir), France, Ireland, Brazil, Switzerland, Mexico, Iran, New Zealand, Trinidad & Tobago.

top cities: Ashburn, VA, Seattle, WA, Charlotte, Alingaro Philippines, Dubai, Brisbane, Montreal, Karang Indonesia, Auckland NZ, Carmona Philippines, Monterrey MX and plenty more 

Red Zone Channel is marvelous — there’s no game I’d rather watch on it’s own, instead of watching 7 hours of the Red Zone channel passively. 

Tom Coughlin owns Bill Belicheck like Matt Damon owned Teddy KGB in Rounders.

Rap beef with Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly ( Mac Miller // unfortunate comments made about his demise and a rap beef from Curtis Fingers)

Post Malone, G Easy

people essentially have come in at different periods and ruined genres of music — jazz, the blues, disco (bee gees, are we finally at a point in hip-hop, in which the next generation of performers go to a different genre?

Inherently every overrated artist is classified as “pop” - because you really can’t be overrated if nobody collectively knows who you are. Is that fair? 

So, i’m not sure we need a pop category — but i think 4 quadrants of music are worth placing people in

The Foo fighters are properly rated — I had them as slightly overrated, then saw them live and realized they are so great live that i had underrated them — i think they’re properly rated.

Legends = Includes Classic Rock, Hip Hop, Country, Singer Song writer, Etc:  Pre 1991

The Doors, Bruce Springsteen, Kiss, The Ramones, Pink Floyd, Eagles

Can we quickly discuss the hot take cindy harrington had, related to your disdain for Bruce Springsteen

Steve Perry alledgedly has a new song — I’m shocked and amazed at this news 

Alt Rock and Newer Rock

Stone Temple Pilots are overrated but Scott Weiland is either properly rated or under rated 

What’s your thought on Sublime / Bradley Nowell ? Properly rated 

Limp Bizkit (3 dollar bills ya’ll was ok), Godsmack 

Linkin Park 

Green Day??????

Blink 182? 

Radiohead 

Dave Matthews Band 

U2

Bob Dylan

Hip Hop

Pitbull (as an entertainer maybe not, as a rapper… yup)

Warren G

Kanye? (Not as a producer)

Soulja Boy 

Akon - was replaced in like 20 mins 

Lil Wayne, Beastie Boys??? That’s a hot take! 

Country / Boy Bands / Teen Sensations / Etc 

Britney Spears, N’Sync (Here’s my hot take on this one, no Justin Timberlake, that band would have been less successful than 98 degrees and O-Town. Amy Winehouse, Carrie Underwood, Toby Keith  

Rosco’s list - Dr. Dre. / Mary J Blige 

1992-2015 — anything in 2016 -now is too in flux in my opinion. 

Wine, Wall & Dragons - Season 6, Episode 10 finale show notes

Game of Thrones week 10 notes ( Wine, Wall & Dragons))

Places listening - Japan is 2nd place (Cousin is on vacation there but props nonetheless), Mexico in 3rd, UK and Germany tied for 4th. New places Gambia, Indonesia and Hungary

Top cities listening - Philadelphia, Tokyo, Anchorage, AK, Walpole — can’t really explain who’s listening in Alaksa, but I hope you’re “on the crab”

GV predictions - NIght’s king penetrates wall, Varys kills Kevan lannister, Bran wargs a msg to Jon or Sansa, Brienne dies

DOB’s predictions - Night’s king gets to walls, Cersei blows up kings landing, Catlyn stark appears, Walder Frey dies.

can believe it’s week 10 — KIng’s landing - Cersei awaits trial in the sept 

Tommen, Margery, the whole gang is getting dressed for the “trial of the century” - I haye TOmmen’s face

Lords appears to be a broken man- Margery seems to have an understanding with the High Sparrow - Cersei seems to be dressed in an homage to Prince. Paecelle still hitting the ladies of the evening 

Loras’s trial — he confesses in 3 seconds… to everything. Decides to go “Full born again mode”. Abandons the Tyrell name and Highgarden. Takes a life of celibacy. Tattooing dudes’ heads. Something tells me that Cersei ain’t going out like that. 

On cue the mountain pays Tommen a visit - DOB’s firewater prediction — seems to be gaining steam. Lancel Lannister is “Hip to the sabotage” 

Kyburn has a little kids butcher Pycelle - Didn’t see him winning our sweepstakes — but he just did 

Lancel stabbed by a kid too - Child Soldiers — hitting dudes left and right 

Not sure how i feel about CErsei’s move here ( do i root for her or not) — Margery essentially pulls the fire alarm — Sparrow = hubris 

HOLY COW that stuff is explosive - Cersei drinks wine an gloats — damn! Tommen - speechless - 

Cersei even settles score with that lady septon. Ice COLD. She is the coldest lady in all the realm — and she’s planning to go all ramsay bolton on her 

Ser Gregor took off the mast. Tough look 

The Tyrell’s besides Olyanna are all dead

Tommen just committed Suicide?!?!!?!?!?!?!? Stannis dead? WHO IS KING??? As usual Cersei is winning the battle and losing the war. Son is dead, prophecy is fulfilled.

Frey and Lannisters — at a banquet - Bronn is awesome - Jamie is awesome. Jamie and Frey ( Edmure is alive foreshadowing) - Jamie is calling out Frey a bit — and now he’s calling him out big time - gonna be interesting. 

Sam and Gilly are back — Looks like Old town - home of MIT the Maester Institute of technology - Sam is at the registrar. Registrar is DB - just like in real life. Gilly is looking good - i’m just saying. Sam needs to visit the Archmaester - pretty baller library - Makes hogwarts look like a preschool. 

Up north - Jon Snow / melissandre talking old school. Davos seems pretty hot and bothered about Shireen getting burned (as predicted). Melissandre lobbies to stay alive — Jon sends her south — seems like that’s a bad idea. Davos puts my green onions idea to bed. Not gonna happen 

Sansa shows up — seems pretty cunning and hip to Little Finger. IT’s winter time and Jon and Sansa share the irony of “winter is coming” 

Dorne - and Lady Olynna is in Dorne - Varys is in Dorne too — that’s super interesting (He can’t kill Kevan Lannister, cuz uncle Kev burned alive)

Daneryous and Daarhio Naharas — are breaking up — He’s groveling like the sell sword he is. Bay of Dragons is the new name of Slaver’s Bay. 

Tyrion - drinking wine (like Lannisters do) - talks with Dany — he gives her a bit of a pep talk - Tyrion is the “hand of the Queen” — boom!!! Two time hand on two continents, that’s a record! 

Walder Frey - drinking, eating and talking dirty for serving girls — ohhh boy — the girl cooked Frey’s sons Arya stark — YES!!!!!! That was awesome. Ice cold again. 

Sansa and Little Finger in the Weirwood - Little finger talks about being the King of Westeros —

Bran and Meera are getting dropped off by Benjen — so he’s essentially dead — but a force for good 

Bran - logs on line to the weir wold web - Tower of Joy - Young ned stark - Lyanna Stark — she spills the beans on Jon Stark’s lineage. BOOM!!! 

Jon spills the beans on the NIght’s King - Lyanna Mormont calls playas out. Manderly is in. Glover is in. They are naming Jon Snow the king in the north. Little Finger is NOT IMPRESSED. Sansa and Little finger exchange a glance 

Jamie Lannister arrives back in King’s landing — Cersei is about to do something bad ass that’s apparent — ahhhh she just Sat on the Iron Throne — First female Queen — Mic Drop — didn’t see that coming at all — So maybe she just won the long game 

Jamie looks HEATED!!!

Theon and Yara are sailing with Grey Worm an the Whole Crew of Dangerous’s Army and Navy- VARYS is on the BOAT!!!!! IS that a slip — or did they swing by and grab him in Dorne
