Episode 57 - The 2nd Annual Blue Hawaii Sportscast (#KyleGuyFieri)

The Blue Hawaii Podcast

Back by popular demand! After such a positive reaction to last year's epic sportschat (Episode 20 - Let's Go Bows!), we brought back friends of the show and UH aficionados Peter Boylan and Danny Cup Choy to help us do a review of the truly epic (and distressing) year it's been in the world of sports (and politics). After friend of the show Jon Schoenfeld makes Josh say nice things about the New England Patriots (shudder), we each share our greatest sporting heartbreaks of 2018-19: Auburn basketball in the final 4, the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game, Liverpool in the Champions League final, and the Detroit Lions... existing. We also discuss some of this year's key questions: What the hell happened to LeBron and the Lakers? How many Nancy Pelosis would it take for you to do a "Pete Rose?" Dirk Nowitzki or Hakeem Olajuwon? Can Rolo take Cole McDonald (EIEIO) and UH football to the next level? How can UH basketball coach Eran Ganot get better recruits and more Eastern European wonderkids? Why is Max Holloway so much better at 145 pounds than at 155 pounds? When will meathead human thumb Dana White bring the #UFC to Aloha Stadium? Why does Conor McGregor insist on validating every toxic stereotype about the Irish? And WHY THE HELL AREN'T WE PAYING COLLEGE ATHLETES??? Finally, we host our first-ever award show, and hand out some trophies for Human Achievements Of Legendary Excellence, (also known as H.A.O.L.E.'s). Honorees include: Golden State Warriors Giannis Antetokounmpo Bruce Pearl Tiger Woods Pete Buttigieg Clay Travis Diego Maradona J.R. Smith Gritty Rand Paul's neighbor Attorney General William Barr Tom Brady kissing his kids on the mouth Patrick Mahomes Zion Williamson and many more! PS: Congrats to the UH Rainbow Warriors Men's Volleyball team -- after our recording, they beat Long Beach State to win the Big West Championship and punch their ticket to the NCAA tournament!
