Ronda Rousey and Odell Beckham Jr. were at SXSW a few weeks ago and while they were there, they sat down and recorded a series of conversations for fantasy sports league DraftKings. And these talks weren’t with some stiff internet reporter in a cheap suit, either. Instead, Rousey and Beckham basically interviewed each other, asking amusing jump-off questions from a series of cards provided by the daily fantasy gaming site.
Past videos have the UFC star and wide receiver discussing their respective nude photos in Sports Illustrated‘s Body Issue and Swimsuit Issue. Another devolves into a heated debate over sharks vs dolphins. This time things get geeky as they ask each other the important questions: Would you rather find yourself in the world of Game of Thrones or the zombie apocalypse of The Walking Dead?
Beckham actually has to ask for confirmation that The Walking Dead is “the one with the zombies and all that?” before choosing Game of Thrones… and then admitting he’s barely watched that either. Rousey hasn’t seen Game of Thrones at all, but she has read all of the books and knows no one ends up having a particularly good time.
“I’d wanna be in The Walking Dead,” she says. “Because I’m really into post-apocalyptic stuff anyways. I wanna shoot things all day, it’d be kinda fun.”
The two then get into a pretty heated discussion over the question “Would you rather have a dragon or be a dragon?” Beckham really breaks things down to the brass tacks while Rousey refuses to be second fiddle to a dragon, even one she controls. Personally, I wanna know what kind of dragon we’re talking about here. If it’s a Game of Thrones dragon, screw that. But if we’re talking about a Lord of the Rings dragon, then sign me up.
The questions are all kinda offbeat like this, and I found myself really digging the chemistry we get out of watching these two play around with various answers. It’s certainly more entertaining to watch than most standard SportsCenter style interviews. More of these videos please, DraftKings!
