In a weekend of wild results, the continued madness of the Brasileirao reached new heights as Inter stunned Gremio to tighten their grasp on top spot. We discuss the controversial call that gave Inter the win and the continued implosion of title rivals Sau Paulo who were held by strugglers Coritiba. But first, we discuss all of the action from around Europe including Newcastle's cluelessness, Milan's inexperience, and Leipzig's questionable late game tactics. We also suggest that Liverpool will be okay, wonder whether Messi's absence may have exposed a new side of Frenkie de Jong's game, and praise the performance of Thomas Tuchel's former side--PSG--while wondering if the German was the right choice for Chelsea. 

At the end of the show, we discuss Young Dolph's Rich Slave (which I only now realize is actually just a deluxe re-release) and wonder whether too many of today's artists are neither clever nor creative when making music. Finally, we react to UFC 257 including stunning displays by Michael "Bootstraps" Chandler and Dustin Poirier. We also discuss Conor McGregor's future and call for rumors of his demise to be quieted until they have legit reason to exist.
