Excuses. Excuses. Let's go.
It's not going to matter because I'm going to win.
So then there's no point. So you don't have to worry.
I don't have to worry. I'm going to -- it's fine.

Before we start, Abigail,
I'm going to need to tell you your penalty
for when you lose the quiz.
This month, when you lose the quiz,
you're going to have to eat some mayonnaise, orange juice,
relish, and sriracha mixed up all together.
Eat it? How are you going to eat it? It's juice.
It's mixed. It's mixed. You'll enjoy it thought. Don't worry.
Arjun, that is disgusting.
I'm going to need some time to think about mine,
so I'll get back to you later in the show.
Last month me and Arjun did a highlight blitz challenge,
but, let's just say, it was awful.
So to save us from embarrassment this month,
we have something new we're going to try.
This month, we're going to be trying to call
one highlight at a time.
Baby steps, guys. Baby steps.
Let's check out our first highlight.
What the heck is that? And we have an animal here.
Oh, it's a horse and he gets it in.
Oh, he's about to score. Oh, my God.
This is amazing. I've ever seen this before.
[laughing]
Is this a sports show, man? Seriously?
Not what I signed up for, OK.
It is a what I think is a moose with a soccer ball
and he's kicking it all on his own.
That's it?
That was weird.
But let's move on to something more productive.
I am very excited to announce
that we had our very first interview guest.
We had the privilege of interviewing Akim Aliu,
professional hockey player and current star
of
Akim, welcome to the show.
So happy to be on with you.
You know, you're going to be on
That's amazing.
How did
I started the conversation with PJ Stock.
He convinced me that it was a good platform
for me to try to spread my message and
what I'm trying to do in the game of hockey and just helping
people in society with racial inequalities.
You had mentioned in the first episode of
that you like to give a voice to the voiceless.
What do you mean by that?
Well, I think a lot of people in the world don't have a platform
to speak on some of their issues.
And I just want to be somebody that inspires people to speak on
what they believe in and in some of their struggles of life that
nobody really knows about.
Do you think that athletes deserve the type of power
to share their opinions and to share
their thoughts on various issues?
Because there are numerous people that may think otherwise.
There's probably not many people on Earth that are more popular
than the high profile athletes and people follow their lead.
So I think it's important that if an athlete is speaking out on
positive change in society and the world for
people to take it seriously and to listen
to what they're saying.
The
to postpone games during the
Do you think that that did anything?
The message that was trying to be conveyed
obviously from my group, the Hockey Diversity Alliance and
players in the game was that there is
more important things in society
that are going on than the game of hockey.
And I think obviously other sports
felt the same thing and the
But I think at the end of the day they did the right thing.
And like I said, we need to shine a light on
bigger issues than sports.
And like I said, obviously the hot topic of racial equality
and everything that's going on
should take priority over playing a hockey game.
Thanks so much, Akim, for coming on the show.
It was definitely an important, great conversation.
Arjun, guess what?
What?
I have a penalty for you.
So you're going to put some chocolate in a bowl,
put a couple chips,
and you're going to put some ranch dressing.
And then because I know you love it,
you're going to have some ketchup, mustard, and relish.
So just going to be like a big bowl of salad,
complimentary of Chef Abigail.
This isn't even a sports show anymore. This is just torture.
Yeah, these penalties are really getting out of control.
But one thing I can control is
nailing this random highlight call.
A player from Colorado is taking it,
and then a moose with a soccer ball again.
He is on his own again, kicking it.
What an incredible moose.
I don't even like you anymore.
Wow, producer Jamie.
Colorado attacking Dallas in the defensive zone.
Oh, but the moose comes back and hits the --
hits the soccer ball.
Oh, my God, they're about to score.
This is the greatest play I've ever seen.
And the moose has officially won the GOAT battle.
He's the greatest of all time.
I have kind of lost faith in producer Jamie,
but the one thing I haven't lost faith in
is me beating Arjun in this month's quiz.
Sure, Abigail. But remember,
this is a tie breaker.
Abigail won week one, I won week two.
So the stakes are high and stop showing that sign.
It's really making me mad. Let's get right into it.

Man, I am not excited to do this penalty.
Anything to delay it, so let's do our random highlight call.
Murray drives in about to go for a layup,
LeBron up, oh, goes for the reverse. What is he doing?
Oh, and he manages, and here's the moose again.
Oh my God. He kicks it in. I've seen this so many times,
I already know what's going to happen.
It's beautiful. Great. Great job, man.
You should feel very proud of yourself.
This is great. Why am I here?
Jamal Murray with the basketball.
He is taking the jump to the basket.
Oh, he is reversing. Oh, the lovely moose.
Feel like we're best friends now.
He is doing incredible with the soccer ball.
Someone should sign him to a contract.
I have no words for...

but let's take a look at our Highlight of the Week winners.
For week one's winner we have Rodgers' amazing
one hundred and one yard kickoff return.
He takes it all the way for the touchdown.
Next up, Mookie Betts' incredible leaping catch
won week two's votes for highlight of the week.
Look at that hang time.
And finally, we have the Tampa Bay Rays'
game winning play against the Dodgers.
I mean, look at all the things that go wrong on this play.
But it ends up going right for the Rays.
Wild stuff.
OK, without further ado, here is October's
Highlight of the Month.
There's nothing quite like an end to end touchdown.
You agreed, voting in Isaiah Rodgers'
one hundred and one yard touchdown
as the Highlight of the Month.
What a run from Rodgers.
OK, Abigail, this was just the worst one yet.
I'm really going to have to think hard for next month.
