This Energized Show episode from mid-May 2020 is a co-host football discussion during COVID lockdown, not an MMA interview. Ross and Graham react to the Bundesliga returning behind closed doors over the prior weekend, including Borussia Dortmund’s heavy derby loss to Bayern Munich, empty-stadium social distancing, piped-in crowd noise, and how much weaker the atmosphere felt without fans. They briefly compare that experience to the UFC, saying empty arenas bother them less for MMA than for football and mentioning Joe Rogan–style broadcast intimacy. Most of the runtime covers Erling Haaland’s scoring rate and physical style, comparisons to Ruud van Nistelrooy and Didier Drogba, Timo Werner’s rumoured Premier League move and whether Liverpool could guarantee him starts, and Robert Lewandowski’s goal-scoring streak. They also debate whether the Premier League should restart on 1 June 2020 or void the season and begin fresh in August, citing Liverpool needing two wins for the title, fixture congestion, expiring contracts, and Brighton players testing positive for coronavirus. The closing minutes cover Premier League players breaking lockdown rules, mental-health struggles without routine, Marcus Rashford’s community work, and a subscribe pitch for the show on YouTube and Spotify.

[Music] let's go episode of any shows the show Thanks that makes me feel like I'm a guest board the co-host well that's muy taking her inner wolf of Wall Street or the world a little saying take my lead and Ross what's the story when he gave Graham another another day in lockdown yummy although a different day in lockdown and obviously the football is now back by the bones League was back on this weekend obviously very much highlighted boy Brucie Dorman first a shotgun that's actually a derby game Bruce doorman gave him an absolute hide or nil and what did you make we'll get into the actual game in a sec ball what did you make of you know a pretty much the way the soldiers hold social distance there are wearing masks and also it was reminiscent to the UFC like Joe Rogan Sunderman like shaking everyone's hand like go around like basically given rules to make poor are clean so what are some air arms in there watching the football and everyone sitting so far apart from each other wearing masks I'm just making sense to me because they're all done on football pitch attacked each other employable time I know and even in a prayer for free kicks people were standing in walls theater like so I saw it and as good as it was to have the football back I didn't really enjoy and just like the fans the motion that you can hear it's like the music in the background you know it's like watching football on soil and unlike players they get like like when that wind like when the fans Rory on you can feel in the game and everything it's way more life to it you know yeah well the fans play a massive part everything and we've seen it UFC football I'm actually you're very interesting when we match play with but I'm not as affected with the UFC not having fans as it was with the football but I think of UFC it's gonna actually we bit more I think the robe you would be like to UFC as well they actually get that insight as you're watching German football so even the players were talk and you couldn't understand them yeah Constantinian what I'm really you might actually get a bit you know the most evening which therefore you have to hear what's going on I need get a new inside yeah I didn't want the easy I don't want to like totally be like nod apparently like I don't cry m'lady point like be like that because I haven't seen you don't see the German football's different cause you can't understand what I'm doing for corners they sat in the other oh okay yeah so like put the English football like I'm gonna have to see it firsthand and then make response to that well obviously I want to see a back you know absolutely and the operational teams actually home but label or not yeah yeah there we are not good you only saw it in talent I think also seen like sounds fun I'll start as well that was he looking forward to the amount of videos that been able to bear him come when I come to yonce you know it it was like I was really looking forward to us watching some the football and then it's just it was really because it when you see him when you hear like a movies coming out you're like I might see that you go and see him like oh that wasn't great we were actually we had a child about them on the phone yesterday and I was actually named all that like unbelievable players they have I just think of for us to even say Marco Reus actually Don yes a because I think I'm saying they're our top three brilliant you're like ah he was like he was there like start and I was like well I'll see Sancho Holland and I was like things Torian has are obvious Marco Ruiz I mean yeah he either I think if they're çok güzel he's been there for so long bear-bait only such loyalty goes like Bora Munich where Daphne sniffing around his boxers at once edge I think it's cause he got injured remember he got injured a couple times Germany won the World Cup they actually brought a one of his jerseys and celebrated with it as well which is a nice touch but I don't like we may as well talk about the football being back as I said they're like they Detroit the pawns he is back at this like everyone was tuned in to see just exactly what it was like if they hadn't already seen my new game that was Europa League came when that was fine closed doors um overall which may have been being back but no fans cuz I think that's the most important rather than like pointing munich winning appreciate or him winning well I'll try to give that game a arrow ten I mean cars this time the football was quite good yeah and I was when I was watching before the game kicked off I was thinking these Brewster Jordan players are like seriously putting themselves in the shop window for the transfer market because when are you ever gonna have so many people watching bruschi dorm and play a football game another thing the most watched football games in a very long time um you know our future players they didn't really you know failed to live up to the reputation Holland like is an absolute sniper he I think it starts this year incredible it was 14 goals are 14 games in the Austrian age 16 golds I think knowing games in the Champions League and 10 golds and then eight games in the bomb's League and 10 goals but fellow score more than the goal a game I'll tell you here is goals per minute ratio because a lot of them were came on the sorbs as well it's probably about 70 minutes ago and he seems to have all the ROI players around them Julian Brandt pouring hazard Jayden's ha ancho half error Guerrero actually supply him big boards there who does he remind you of Russ well he's in certain aspects of Tom's bit like Ruben is Roy you're like you put him in front of the goal and like you have the almost confidence that he's put in the back of the net yeah he's sort of bigger than root is that six foot four horns up but he has maybe maybe closer to slot time or like whatever flicks well I think the van is Ramones right away he runs it's sort of Donkey ask the wave initially for a while remember if any story ran from the halfway line against Fulham and just like he's years run like a like pennies for a round like a horse he runs like a bit like a donkey yes over a long distance I think you have screams it's like you look or even history and you're looking to go it's not supposed to work out to a toes feet and then it just works every single time I always thought drug was a bit like that like I felt like a chief saying poor like I thought he wasn't that unbelievable of a footballer but defenders Haitians heydo played against a heap so awkward he was big he was physical you could hold you up and obviously drugged the scores from believable girls like it's pretty harsh lately it was my old boy I thought it was as awkward as he was bored yeah good link I mean it didn t really blow up when he's around 25 yeah remember Mourinho got his hands on him because he wasn't like that sought after him I say I think he cost about 15 million pounds which was expensive back then as well where does Holland rage against your cane agüero 11 days key and where is he rate amongst all players because there are sort of like actual strong occurs you know Messi oh now those sort of like play like first haul rolls yeah he has to be the heir to Lebowski strong appoint New York next like that's the way they have to see that force he seems very driven to go on to something bigger maybe around the tree a door or like I'll see Messi is gonna go so it's gonna have to change things will be could go to Barcelona play down the middle as well the Aventis once where now the leaves like the officers are gonna be everything's good he's gonna have ten teams in like today with two years he'd be what 21 yeah 19 so do you think I'm Roy Keane like rayona chance of ever come to mind you know it you know like he cook on a man City here as well if whoever they give him the best option like you can order winning trophies he'll go there so what I did disappoint this weekend don't know how before you want what you see you see Highlands interviews post post game so II am so broke yeah what's that he doesn't know the audience feels what's the story with that it's it's almost like a pulse cold envy you back in the day now there was it's more arrogant than shy oh I feel like he doesn't want to actually do the interview so he just like answers whatever it is over I think because it's not like a slattern sort of funny you know yeah I was probably what the if he was joking you need viewer said it was like oh so we saw you went to into the wall and he hopped wall it was like why is he laughing it's like why not he must have sent a short fuse maybe there was maybe that's what makes him so good you know at the end there's always one of the girls I don't get to show you what he says yeah yeah yeah your hurry there to listen to the interviews to be playing sure yeah yeah so I was only buying all the Gold's gonna say somebody who didn't impress this weekend he was holy link to move to the Premier League was team over in ER Lloyd's a true one all what do you think the big hullabaloo is their team / nur Mabel to the Premier League is very very strong I think whatever Phil for Liverpool are gonna struggle to boy it forward because they know they're not gonna start you have bored when you're at a team right now lipstick they're winning nothing and you're seeing a team they're winning something on your light if you actually are a winner you could be like right I can go there and take their place so anyways sort of more clones and did when he went through Real Madrid he was like I don't care that all like Ronaldo real Mary Ann says someone else their name I don't care there I'm gonna get in okay at my game team over in her like really see when you wouldn't like if he gets in this course but like mine a missus a lot of chances and though he's probably been the best player this year like for me no tools and reuse for at all so Brenner must be sniffing around there and being like you probably dude sort of dog work upfront like again there especially if you're scoring if you do if you wasn't doing the same jobs that don't score on ten golden years for unknown I'm gonna get picked and then like Salah just one was talk about him but if we didn't stay when he go who knows so like a like someone fresh in there which control them all on really and you know once you go there for a year maybe two you could believe as well and go back to point you know I think these German players all have in the head if they go at the bar on a wind-up wouldn't see oh I feel like Timo Bernhard just hasn't showed up sometimes didn't show up the World Cup didn't show up on the we zoomed up he was young though oh we know he's young boy how long's young and he shows up every every week yeoman attend today like Dustin Udall standard like level days he shows up every week and if like team / nur I think it's more the air to levin dosti thrown as I'm like better chances team of a burner and the form unit then how long then the formula and I mean they kind of like or me to kind of forward any passengers yeah but like I think every player gets passed about because everyone's gonna be rusty and I mean going into a game like that but bear Highland below true he scores goals for breakfast for yeah what's called there or to say respectfully the air what's called the defender since the day he was born Zubin like obviously Verner has transfers in his head that's but my me if you have if your transfers in your head now's the time you have to show into you know get that money move I don't know maybe at the end of the day bigger your transfer fee the more wages you can ask for yeah well keep everyone three games and then I mean this is technically appreciation look at Sancho on the bench as well yeah I say if he wasn't linked with a move he would've been starting yeah true yeah I suppose you want to keep the team but you're gonna have my shares up slam yeah so we have a special in both pairs happy especially the way you said with that much talent at Bayern Munich or winning the league 58 points doorman or : second with 54 points emerge and grab back are coming third in 52 and then Ross said or b.lab Sierra come before - 51 points go out there yeah I mean like after watching that game are you like looking forward to seeing it again or you're just like right this is just me checking it out well I'll definitely keep a closer eye on the German league just because it's so tie up the top as well you know I mean I look at the scores I'll watch the highlights I don't know if I'll be watching ya know all the games done off we watching Wolfsburg versus a stalker at the weekend or I'll definitely pan on and obviously if doormen play for Munich or definitely watching that or you know if the top for a plane each other I'll try watch the game where possible yeah I'm sort of the same like I wasn't blown away boy come on and yeah I'll keep an eye on it I think lemon Davis he scorned was a twice greeghan know when he wants a he went over 40 calendar goals or something out in the fifth season where he scored over 40 dogs think only Messi Ronaldo I've done it in five seasons no he's there as well he drove back in the day I think 2012 packing in a black burner yeah is that you're gonna say was that yeah yeah haha yeah but braids he was doing two years since that all the problems me I'm not entirely sure but I'm what a career he's had roster look Premier League let's talk about it for a sec I was trying to bring up with the lads am so suppose you right now like players about training there is talk that this might be coming back on June the first real asleep next season they were planning on starting the league Iran they usually trying to Friday so a lot of it yeah also would've been Freud at Friday August 14th yeah what's the week before that which would be in August the 8th no ok yeah don't yeah come on first first yeah yeah yeah that's it yeah yeah yeah so yeah okay so second the second term we can all go starts probably yeah so my point is do you think they'll get back on June 1st and if not do you think they should just work the league and start afresh then in the second or third week of August or if you know because the transfer window is might be open on June 1st as well all we think they sure would they play a slate clean and start again almost and that's nothing to do with late Liverpool in the league or not I just think they're not gonna get all the games doing but rather they have next season started then trying to restart it and as he said earlier the corona virus pandemic and England that's quite bad it's much worse than theirs and Germany therefore I don't think that have and the opportunity to really get that job done and get the league please could they gather enough games to get relegation promotions or relegation and champion sort of definitely or you know all the spots depending where you functionally redo matter for an antifreeze pub you see I know the seasons not finished I know Liverpool or like I think need to wins to win the league well they kept you bring players back now right yeah so if you bring the family back now and they see Liverpool almost have to leave won't I know all those players are gonna be back from injury board and if they're playing a free games week and that they're gonna over there players gonna get injured like like a whole new percent that's gonna happen and then they're almost getting injured for no reason when they could just start afresh next year and also these Sunni fighters going to company and their contracts if they already in Tercero for a year no one's gonna want to buy them as well it's you know so yeah but also three the broad players apparently have the carnivores and then they can't play so what happens when your players had to get the chromevis are you gonna be like oh well you just have to play with those players there's a lot of like you know don't do fee and Webster all got the crown reversed like three starts had her heart broken I mean whatever like Carl players are from the only 20 warns with a price youth could like my niece Allen Romina Romina oh they got just having a quick chat they all cough and each other than the rent then she carries back in the fold you know they come in and already and the re yeah but I think that the phone call is gonna be made June 1st it's gonna be like on or off or else let them let the transfers just sort of happen and they will stay home and star into them certain August 15 time is these out I thought that I think that's totally know although bit dev say cuz I was actually enjoying the times in this year I know yeah and II Robley well yeah what they're gonna do and it'd be interesting yeah well overall like obviously the premium we're looking at Man City like do you reach out the year so they picked Humber's the Eagles in a play time it's late man you know you gave them Tom Segar to the knock that I was late Joe I actually hate the way we haven't been doing like this because give up I hate hypotheticals I'm just like we'll find you the faster than one let you know yeah yo mean yeah it's interesting talk about it look once a week not every day I feel I feel bad for a football channels that they're just making up these transfers all the time you know it's just who can be linked to who hmm Sancho Grealish Pogba oh my god great for that yeah obviously the Premier League we're looking at the the Bundesliga so I'm sure we're gonna find out soon yeah that's all the players aren't even doing social business unlike apparently Carl Walker's been caught twice like come to Sheffield going somewhere else and like meetings my meeting the sister and then Tommy Abraham was like odd I would on a date with a model and then like Jack he literally crushed his Land Rover it means that he first got even like saying inside their mansions for like a few weeks let alone that universe of bad English we feel they're from wolves something moist keep some white maybe yeah you won't like the World Cup with the under-17 so it was waiting on but he they drove from wolves down to London the party with like people around the world Gregor che were you there well it's weird like it is rear it like these lads like I'm not gonna be like feel sorry for the foot products but like these lads have their lawyers regimented routine every day since probably right majority of them say around 14 15 16 right and like now they don't like free time in their hands and like their meals aren't being made and not being told what to do they're not being told what they're not being taught what to do they've bending that's why those players once a rhetoric they're like the routine like they had actually chosen to hit the drink or go gambling they go off the rails for these last it now actually have to sort of fend for themselves and then like a lot of them are like oh what am I meant to do this and you're there and like the mental health is gone along face so like you can sort of feel sorry for them in our way for the ones who like women's health I feel like a moment out you can feel like oh I I was feeling depressed you just get a list off you mean people really see on the road you're like I'm actual photograph for that there used to like 80,000 people show tonight I wasn't like 20 to 30 to 40 times people shared nothing every week being around people all the time so just Xavier self in a massive gas that was  you somehow yeah but you can't feel sorry for these people like there are two mansions ha I saw Alison's gaff and I was like hell I was like Taiyo Kea is like Museum like that's always the thing yeah I think we tighten up for Santa to where he's turn the ball into attic good night yeah well look if you think I assumed the footballer is like some of them would be happy to marry other ones would be like doing it during the boys like I'm being like happen to have proper conversations like their house now and be like oh you know means like you're like who's Tammy texting yeah it's like oh yeah hubby Abraham like doesn't play well like just like a lot of people just like personal stuff is game they're so big some of these guys are seeing it as well having masses guys like Jesse linger and like mm they gave it for his calf I think he's never even used the oven so like like yeah so many people have all this like huge houses and live there by themselves etc you know I hope someone else's uses old Joe has been brilliant operatives periods about Marcus rush work he's been doing so much stuff on mind so many zoom cause tweet and loads people making those people's day he's one person yeah I think he's probably are these provide like skilled launchers for the entire country yeah I'm sure what the players have done the same but he just keep popping with my timeline for just doing a lot for community and more because I you don't follow Jimmy boiler all right pay for a whole Jimmy wall net is there any way anyone over for polish this to Tokyo well I'm pretty sure Slaton donated quite lovely towards her and here's some great I'm sure and although has like he's the constant you doing that sort of thing um yeah but look I'm sure I'm sure there's plenty don't better I doing there with coz what we can set up for they were like taking wages and stuff either taking pay cuts and really seems like some people are very very generous and some people like not what I get it it's irrelevant like that's what they're contracted to pay you so like they should pay yeah yeah it is a business and it's in the football Rosco's like overall it was good to have a back because that means sofas getting back to normal I think I think a whole lot more in the later housing for now it was it was good to see another sport bra do you see back the good see teams for back
