NY Boom and Big Daz take listeners on a wild journey through ancient brutal sports and modern athletes' financial disasters. Their raw, unfiltered conversation explores fascinating cultural phenomena while delivering cautionary tales about wealth, responsibility, and consequences.

• Calcio Fiorentino: an Italian combat sport dating back to the Middle Ages that combines elements of football, soccer, MMA, and rugby
• The game allows head-butting, punching, and choking with 27 players per team and is so brutal they only play three games per year
• Players compete for free on behalf of their local communities, creating a powerful cultural tradition
• Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavier Howard signed a $90 million contract but faces losing half to child support and lawsuits
• Howard allegedly impregnated four women simultaneously and faces additional legal troubles for filming without consent
• The hosts debate the difference between being "rich" and "wealthy" using Nick Cannon as a case study for financial responsibility
• Discussion of how child support percentages increase with multiple children, potentially taking up to 50% of earnings
