Episode notes

More than 60 million people streamed (or tried to stream) Mike Tyson and Jake Paul's fight over the weekend. Widely panned as a pathetic spectacle, a few things are for sure: even Mike Tyson can't stop Father Time, Jake Paul still draws huge crowds, and streaming platforms are disrupting absolutely every traditional model.

2:00 | Jespo and Johnny recap the Tyson-Paul fight (and the entire Netflix event), Jon Jones presenting his UFC Championship belt to Donald Trump (19:30), Alex Ovechkin inching even closer to Gretzky's all-time goals record (20:50), the 111th Grey Cup including the Jonas Brothers' halftime show (23:15), and Taylor Swift touching down in Toronto (32:20). Just wait until you hear how much Ryan's friend made re-selling her tickets...
