if you go to ninety seven ninety seven to one
Theeagle dot com on social media.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Check it out on Instagram.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
You can find us there and you can see what
KT looks like while holding an ac DC album. But
right now, speaking to KT, here's something called sperm Race.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yeah, I'm pretty excited about this one because you know
the title of it, sperm Race. This is happening, and
this is happening in California, but it's really gonna be
it's more of a livestream thing to not have to
worry about where this is happening. And what's happening is
there's this company. It's a startup. They've raised a million
dollars already and the company's called sperm Racing and that's

(00:49):
the name of the company.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yep, yep, and uh.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
In eleven days, the twenty fifth, they're having their first
sperm race. And here's what got the idea going was
the male fertility is declining. So it was actually they're
going for a good cause. So what's gonna happen is
they're going to do live stream and they've got these
really like high resolution cameras and things like that, and
they go on to live stream a scale, it's a

(01:12):
microscopic scale, and it'll be zoomed way in on it,
and then they will dump you know, have a couple
of tracks and they will dump the sperm of a
contestant into it, and the sperm will race through a
track that they've made that is close to what it
would be like.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
It's a fake filopian too.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
It's basically yeah, yeah, that's a good way to put it.
They should have put that on their website.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Can we gamble on it?

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Absolutely? That's the whole point of this. This is eventually
going to be celebrities and athletes. Uh. The first matchup
on the twenty fifth is USC versus UCLA.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
To have these college you get kids will go in there.
Oh yeah, they're very fertile. They're gonna have weigh inst
press conferences.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Oh they should. They'll have weight divisions and weight classes. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Well, like dog racing, there's a little rabbit that runs
to trick the dogs into racing. Or is this a sperm.
Are they just always looking to run? They're chasing an egg.
There's gonna be an egg. You've been an egg on
a conveyor belt in there.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
That's what's very confusing about that is they're really they're
really hammering home the term microscopic track, which again that
means just using my context close heres, uh under a microscope?

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Okay, well what is microscopic track and field? Why not
have like pole bolt and long jump? I don't think
the sperms can do that? Why not bench right can?

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:41):
If you put little tiny poles down in there, microscopic poles,
that sperm will grab it and use it and vault it.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
So what he's talking.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
About, dude, I'm an athlete. My sperm is ready to
compete obviously. I mean you get three kids, you know.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Where that Yeah, you are good at this. You know
where they got the idea for this. Those baby races
and at time out of an NBA game.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Those are wonderful.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Man, the bulls had they had a walker the other
day and they shamed that kid. They stop everything, the
kids now, but he's a walker, and the kids starts crying.
The dad's laughing. It's just getting bullied in front of
twenty thousand people.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
That's like the ped of baby races.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Cork e races are in that's kind of a big
thing and very fun to watch on TV.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Do you realize you know now that we think about it,
I mean, a baby is just an evolved sperm.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
In a lot of ways. Now it had it had
to find an egg.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yeah, and then they But so this is I think
a natural regression, not an extension, because we're going back.
We've seen baby races now we want to go back
to the source. How long before this is on ESPN? Dude?
Helps being serious, I'm not evening about ESPN. I think
this is going to revive the regional sports networks. This

(03:55):
is what Bally had in mind when they hooked up
with a with a gaming company.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
It's not going to go down the route of like
you porn, I don't. I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Because instance, well, okay, now that's interesting. I'm still a
little confused on the track. What the track actually is
going to look like?

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Wait, so, Ben, you're kind of implying a shooter is
gonna shoot type situation.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
He goes to the wall.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yeah, I thought you were talking about more like a
you know, a half marathon. Huh okay, like which one
can travel the greatest distance before it gives up?

Speaker 2 (04:28):
How do you how do they know if they're in
the race or not coaching? Yeah, I don't know on that. Oh,
that's why there's that's why there's talking. What do you
and how do you even start it? Though?

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Like?

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Is it in a gentleman start? Ngine?

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Is it in a cup? And then here's Larry from
USC and here's Billy from u c l A.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, and each guy enternt thousands into it? Right, yeah,
I guess so.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Yeah, a guy can have a lot of entries and
you have to have one separator and then at triple jummy.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
I don't understand how the sea monkeys, I don't fully
get it.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
It is like sea monkeys.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
They're gonna have their own little world down there, track
and field of it.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
This is actually the future of sports. Does I see
Tim Kash the TV behind KT.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
It would like the best athletes in the world have
the best representatives.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
For that race.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
I would think, So, I'm mine are gonna be slow then,
because this is happening in LA, it's getting pretty getting
a lot of traction and I'll say the four main
guys who are behind this all have a lot of
tenure and some big companies.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Okay too.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
You know they're entrepreneurs, but they've worked at some big places.
I do think celebrities and athletes are next.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
I think mine are going to throw the shot put.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
I would love to see Usain Bolts sperm competing now.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
So they're also gonna have some obstacles like cervical mucus
and things like that.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
Sir, he's been sitting on that joke since the second
he found this.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Are ye all right?

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Guys coming up next in Around the Sports, The most
Epic Masters of all Time. We discuss it next on
