- Malcolm: We are unfortunately in that great period where there is no sports on. Actually, the World Cup has been fire. I'm about to say, let me rephrase it before they before they jump in. The World Cup has actually been fire. Thomas: For this is no sports. Malcolm: I I just don't typically follow I I really only kinda like what's happening with with with with football or soccer, I should say. you know, during the during World Cup time. I'm not gonna lie. The best like players in the world have been playing like at peep like Mbappe has been killing, Messi's been killing, like Ronaldo been singing it up, but it's like Holland has been like I ain't gonna lie, every like top like dog has been playing like a top dog. So I've been I've been enjoying it. it's like it's a different level of competition, I think, like just like Thomas: Mm-hmm. Malcolm: hunger when you playing for your country on your back, bro. So I'm gonna be excited. Definitely watch this round of 32. yeah, we'll we'll be tapped in. I personally, I got I lucky thing is about I got I got France winning it all, bro. They got too many dogs on that team. But we're gonna see, bro. We can revisit this in a couple weeks, but Thomas: Yeah, yeah. I haven't seen I mean, shout out to the nine African teams that made it to the knockout rounds. Nine out of ten. Cape Verde, shout out. I think I'm saying it right. I think it Cape Cape Verde. K Verde People know what I'm talking about. They had the smallest nation by population and they're the smallest team to make it. So good for that or smallest nation by population to make it. I haven't really been watching much. I mean I've seen the fans, like I've seen a lot of people are traveling. Malcolm: Yeah, nine out of ten, bro. That's insane. Thomas: to the US for that, which I mean, hey, that's crazy that they got the money for that, bro. I mean, I know like the US, depending on where you're coming from, it's cheaper. Like if you're coming from the UK, the US is cheap. Well, cheaper. Like their money's worth more. But it's still like those flights, bro. And then you get here, especially the ones in Seattle, bro. I mean, stuff is tax. But Malcolm: Mm-hmm. yeah, for sure. Mm-hmm. It's crazy 'cause I I know that Iran it's so stupid 'cause bro, I think after every single game they have to fly back to Mexico because they they're not they aren't allowed to stay in the country. And it's like I get we have beef for the country started on behalf of Israel, by the way. But it's just like Thomas: Okay. Malcolm: I mean, you're gonna take it out on I mean y I I think like I think I saw sat like we were the first country we we hosted a World Cup team and bombed their country. they had a game and then we bombed their country in the same day, which is insane to read. Yeah. Thomas: Ridiculous. It's like, hey, hospitality while we blow up your home. Malcolm: Yeah, bro. It's Yeah, yeah. Iran they played a pivotal World Cup match hours after the country got bombed by the US. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Thomas: What what happened to like I could have sworn events like this were supposed to be like peaceful like I'm not saying that all the violence stops, but I thought like, you know, in these times when it is like international competition, like Olympics and things that it's almost like a peace treaty for a little bit. But I guess the powers that be never sleep. Malcolm: Yeah, brother. Thomas: It's it's unfortunate, man. People people at home in some of these countries can't even watch can't even they don't they don't have power lines to even watch the games if they wanted to, bro. It's insane. Malcolm: Nice man, That's where we am, bro. That's all I got today, bro. Thomas: yeah, yeah. a lot, a lot going on. Everyone stay aware. I mean, I gotta ask you what you I saw bro, obsession had had was was great, but they fantastic. And I've been watching guy Skits since then. He's been putting out stuff for some years. I think he started YouTube years ago. Malcolm: Mm. I saw you got contracted for something else too.
