- 4:54Speaker 3: And coming up later on we'll have Mallard to the
- 4:57Speaker 3: third degree.
- 4:59Speaker 1: That'll be ex Yeah, time.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Shifted for ratings purposes, Mallor to the third degree, time shifted. Okay, Now,
- 5:07Speaker 3: we were going to attempt something that has never been
- 5:09Speaker 3: done before, Well, I shouldn't say that I did this
- 5:11Speaker 3: last World Cup, so it's I guess every four years
- 5:15Speaker 3: or so, I do this, and we're gonna see how
- 5:17Speaker 3: this goes. We're beta testing this. We're beta testing this.
- 5:20Speaker 3: So our lead this hour is from the aforementioned World Cup.
- 5:25Speaker 1: That's right, lickety split. So this is not a test.
- 5:27Speaker 1: We'd like to learn all the affiliates. This is not
- 5:29Speaker 1: a test. We're actually doing this.
- 5:32Speaker 3: So the story that I thought was the most interesting,
- 5:37Speaker 3: and maybe I'm the only one that believes this as
- 5:40Speaker 3: we begin the World Cup and actually began on Thursday.
- 5:43Speaker 3: So Mauricio Pocatino, I am told that is the head
- 5:48Speaker 3: coach of the US men's national team, and he has
- 5:53Speaker 3: thrown a haymaker at the FIFA mandated World Cup hydration
- 5:59Speaker 3: break rule that is now a thing at this event.
- 6:04Speaker 3: He argued that the stoppages are unnecessary when conditions are
- 6:09Speaker 3: not extreme, and the World Cup has introduced a kind
- 6:15Speaker 3: of a different rhythm, if you will, before teams have
- 6:20Speaker 3: even settled into the tournament, and so they're all worried
- 6:24Speaker 3: about player safety out of an abundance of caution. Remember
- 6:28Speaker 3: that from the pandemic you could literally do anything you
- 6:30Speaker 3: want in the world if you say out of an
- 6:31Speaker 3: abundance of caution, any ridiculous for gayzy rule you can
- 6:35Speaker 3: put in there as long as you say out of
- 6:36Speaker 3: an abundance of caution. So they're really worried about player
- 6:39Speaker 3: welfare and the logic.
- 6:42Speaker 1: How can you disagree with the logic the forced pause.
- 6:47Speaker 3: According to this coach of teamsa Pokatino, the force pause
- 6:52Speaker 3: in each half changes.
- 6:54Speaker 1: The way that the match kind of.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Plays out right, but the way it breathes. So that
- 7:00Speaker 3: is a good jumping off point. It's very similar to
- 7:04Speaker 3: taking into other sports, like in baseball they added the
- 7:08Speaker 3: pitch clock, which fundamentally changed the game. The Ghost Runner, like,
- 7:13Speaker 3: there's a lot of dumb stuff that man fraud put
- 7:15Speaker 3: in there. When soccer, everyone's bitching about this pause, this
- 7:19Speaker 3: mandatory hydration break. So let us discuss the question are
- 7:25Speaker 3: you buying or selling the USA men's soccer coach Mauricio
- 7:32Speaker 3: Pocatino complaining about mandatory World Cup hydration break.
- 7:36Speaker 1: So I've got NASCAR, sun kissed and psyop and we
- 7:41Speaker 1: will combine.
- 7:41Speaker 3: All of these things together, and we are in the
- 7:45Speaker 3: eye of the storm, the eye of the storm.
- 7:48Speaker 1: So, first of all, as you.
- 7:51Speaker 3: May or may not know, we are what's known as
- 7:54Speaker 3: casuals when it comes to the sport of soccer. We're
- 7:56Speaker 3: not hard ohs. We don't obsess over soccer like everyone else.
- 8:00Speaker 3: We wrap ourselves in the flag. Every four years when
- 8:03Speaker 3: the World Cup comes around, there's a little extra rasthmatas
- 8:06Speaker 3: this year being that it's in North America. However, on
- 8:10Speaker 3: this one, the comments by Mauricio Pocatino, the guy that
- 8:15Speaker 3: coaches the USA team.
- 8:18Speaker 1: I am guzzling the red, white and blue kool aid
- 8:21Speaker 1: on this grievance.
- 8:23Speaker 3: And let's be very clear, Pokatino is not anti water
- 8:28Speaker 3: or anti safety. He's all about common sense. He's against
- 8:32Speaker 3: nonsense and the problem.
- 8:36Speaker 1: And I saw an interview.
- 8:37Speaker 3: I was on one of those dopey websites and when
- 8:39Speaker 3: I saw this online, I wasn't on social media.
- 8:41Speaker 1: I was on a website and they wrote this whole
- 8:43Speaker 1: big thing, the problem is the rigid nature.
- 8:46Speaker 3: Like that there's no wiggle room apparently on this that
- 8:49Speaker 3: the people over at FIFA mandatory hydration breaks.
- 8:53Speaker 1: And you know, I played.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Ayso when I was a kid who played soccer, and yeah,
- 8:58Speaker 3: I didn't like it because all you did was running around,
- 9:00Speaker 3: didn't score that much.
- 9:00Speaker 1: But I played it as a kid, and it's a
- 9:03Speaker 1: fluid sport.
- 9:05Speaker 3: And they are stopping matches when the weather does not
- 9:09Speaker 3: demand it, like, for example, the game tonight in SoCal
- 9:15Speaker 3: at six o'clock. It's likely going to be in the
- 9:18Speaker 3: mid seventies if that hot in Inglewood where they're playing.
- 9:23Speaker 1: The game, and so it's gonna be fine.
- 9:26Speaker 3: It's perfect conditions like that's you don't need a hydration break.
- 9:31Speaker 3: So why does every safety measure conveniently create new ad slots?
- 9:37Speaker 1: I wonder why.
- 9:38Speaker 3: So they're not protecting players, they're not worried about the electrolytes.
- 9:42Speaker 1: The players are getting people at FIFA.
- 9:44Speaker 3: They're protecting the stream as in the revenue stream. Hello,
- 9:50Speaker 3: FIFA has essentially engineered a clever way to squeeze those
- 9:54Speaker 3: lucrative AD dollars on the broadcast because this has always
- 9:58Speaker 3: been the complaint. And I've been in a world where
- 10:01Speaker 3: I know some people who do TV.
- 10:03Speaker 1: I did a TV show for a couple of years,
- 10:05Speaker 1: not anymore.
- 10:06Speaker 3: But the thing about the TV world in Soccer Week,
- 10:10Speaker 3: the reason that it didn't really get a lot of
- 10:12Speaker 3: traction on TV is because they can't put enough commercials.
- 10:16Speaker 3: There's not enough pauses, so this is a way for
- 10:20Speaker 3: them to make a little extra money. And it's masquerading
- 10:24Speaker 3: as player welfare, which is bullshoy. Think of this like
- 10:28Speaker 3: NASCAR sponsored pit stops. If you will, you know on NASCAR,
- 10:33Speaker 3: you get the pit stop, A're gonna go to pitt row.
- 10:36Speaker 3: FIFA calls it crucial hydration. And if you smell with
- 10:42Speaker 3: your nose, you can smell that does That's not good,
- 10:45Speaker 3: that's rotting, that's that's moldy. That's moldy. And obviously the
- 10:49Speaker 3: TV people are very excited.
- 10:50Speaker 1: That's prime inventory. It's a beautifully cynical puzzle, and I
- 10:56Speaker 1: love cynical. And so the coach here again, the guy from.
- 11:02Speaker 3: A Temosa Pocatino, he's completely right in my analysis here
- 11:08Speaker 3: to call out their charade. You should never have a
- 11:12Speaker 3: rule with no wiggle room, like common sense should apply.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Here, and it's not. And the reason it's not.
- 11:19Speaker 3: He's calling out these charades because they're sacrificing the natural
- 11:25Speaker 3: flow of the what do you what do you people
- 11:27Speaker 3: call soccer? The beautiful game you call I think you
- 11:29Speaker 3: call it that, right? And so you have mandatory not
- 11:33Speaker 3: hydration breaks, commercial breaks, like they're not playing in Death Valley,
- 11:37Speaker 3: They're playing in.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Inglewood, which is much different.
- 11:41Speaker 3: Right, And FIFA could sell I'm telling you, if they
- 11:43Speaker 3: could sell oxygen, the people at FIFA, we would have
- 11:46Speaker 3: mandatory breathing pauses so they could sell you more oxygen. Secondly, wait,
- 11:53Speaker 3: there's more, believe it not more from the World Cup.
- 11:56Speaker 3: So this story has been bouncing around and this involves
- 12:00Speaker 3: you and I and it's the people at FIFA getting
- 12:04Speaker 3: roasted for these high priced tickets, like the whole strategy.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Let me explain, I'm not explaining this well.
- 12:13Speaker 3: So, the people at FIFA have been accused of holding
- 12:15Speaker 3: back tickets to artificially create scarcity.
- 12:19Speaker 1: On the ticket market.
- 12:21Speaker 3: They launched their own resale platform with a fifteen percent
- 12:26Speaker 3: fee for both the people buying tickets and the people
- 12:30Speaker 3: selling the tickets, which means, if my malord math is correct,
- 12:34Speaker 3: they're making thirty percent on every ticket sale because they're
- 12:37Speaker 3: taking fifteen percent from the seller fifteen percent from the buyer,
- 12:41Speaker 3: that works out to thirty percent. And now, as a
- 12:43Speaker 3: result of this brilliant strategy that some bozo came up
- 12:48Speaker 3: with in a boardroom, somewhere they're.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Still I saw the number.
- 12:53Speaker 3: I think there's one hundred and eighty thousand tickets available
- 12:57Speaker 3: for purchase for the World Cup.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Our already started. Hello, one hundred and eighty.
- 13:03Speaker 3: Thousand tickets have not been sold yet for the World Cup.
- 13:07Speaker 3: So the question, why are we pretending that this FIFA
- 13:12Speaker 3: price gouging is some kind of surprise.
- 13:14Speaker 1: That's what it is. Call what it is. I do
- 13:16Speaker 1: the old duck test.
- 13:17Speaker 3: If it walks like a duck, it makes noises like
- 13:20Speaker 3: it there's a duck of coause we are not surprised.
- 13:24Speaker 1: We are not surprised.
- 13:25Speaker 3: However, it seems like many of the media elites out
- 13:29Speaker 3: there seem absolutely gobsmacked and thunderstruck that this could happen.
- 13:35Speaker 3: And it's artificial scarcity. It is not a glitch. It
- 13:41Speaker 3: is not a problem with the what you might call it.
- 13:43Speaker 3: It is the system that they came up with. They
- 13:46Speaker 3: created the FOMO and figured, hey, people will pay top
- 13:51Speaker 3: dollar because the fear of missing outs, like once in
- 13:54Speaker 3: a lifetime type situation if you're in North America and
- 13:58Speaker 3: these things come that off. And so they're like, okay,
- 14:01Speaker 3: so FOMO will limit the amount of tickets and then
- 14:06Speaker 3: we'll sell the antidote at a markup because of the FOMO.
- 14:10Speaker 1: And honestly, FIFA's been.
- 14:14Speaker 3: Fifa ing, if that's the right way to say it,
- 14:17Speaker 3: since before they even existed.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Like the math on this is just great again.
- 14:22Speaker 3: Fifteen percent fee for the buyer of the ticket, fifteen
- 14:26Speaker 3: percent fee for the seller.
- 14:28Speaker 1: That is a classic shakedown, is it not? Am I
- 14:31Speaker 1: wrong on that? That seems like a shakedown?
- 14:33Speaker 3: And FIFA created scarcity the way Universal Studios in Hollywood
- 14:38Speaker 3: create superheroes.
- 14:39Speaker 1: Out of finnair, just out of thin air.
- 14:42Speaker 3: They held back tickets like they were releasing a limited
- 14:45Speaker 3: sneaker drop. And at the very end of this and
- 14:49Speaker 3: we're not even at the end, but at this point
- 14:50Speaker 3: in the story, FIFA they didn't sell enough tickets. They
- 14:54Speaker 3: thought they could pull this off. They squeezed the fans
- 14:58Speaker 3: like sun a sunkiss, you know how they squeeze the
- 15:01Speaker 3: orange just to get that nice juice. So that's what
- 15:04Speaker 3: they did. And they want you to think that this
- 15:05Speaker 3: is like a victimless crime, except anyone that bought a
- 15:09Speaker 3: ticket and overpaid for the ticket, You're like, well, wait
- 15:11Speaker 3: a minute, what did I do?
- 15:12Speaker 1: Get zooks? All right?
- 15:13Speaker 3: Final thought from thirty thousand feet in the sky. So
- 15:18Speaker 3: the soccer hustle is obviously not over. They have a
- 15:21Speaker 3: ton of tickets they still have to sell. So let's
- 15:23Speaker 3: look up the Thomas Guide map on how this is
- 15:26Speaker 3: going to play out. The question where is this FIFA
- 15:29Speaker 3: ticketing skullduggery headed? And I'll tell you where it's headed
- 15:34Speaker 3: to a courtroom near you. FIFA, as we said, they
- 15:39Speaker 3: did not sell the tickets. They thought they were gonna
- 15:42Speaker 3: be able to sell, and they didn't just sell the tickets.
- 15:45Speaker 3: It's this whole thing feels like a CIA style psyop.
- 15:49Speaker 1: It's like a.
- 15:49Speaker 3: Psychological experiment of scarcity. And they're not alone. Now I'm
- 15:56Speaker 3: ripping FIFA. This goes on in a lot of the
- 16:00Speaker 3: major sports operations called dynamic pricing, which is a way
- 16:03Speaker 3: to f over the customer. And we call it let's
- 16:06Speaker 3: see how much we can shake out of.
- 16:08Speaker 1: The roubs, that's what we call it.
- 16:10Speaker 3: And you don't get to hide inventory and call it
- 16:14Speaker 3: a phased release. That's called deception. And so this is
- 16:19Speaker 3: not again, it's not a misunderstanding the fans that bought tickets,
- 16:24Speaker 3: the soccer hardcore people.
- 16:27Speaker 1: If you ended up paying top dollar for this.
- 16:29Speaker 3: You were you got missile, right, that's what happened, right,
- 16:34Speaker 3: you got missiled. And that's just the way it is, pressured, manipulated,
- 16:41Speaker 3: whatever you want to say. It's a multinational corporation, FIFA,
- 16:45Speaker 3: and you know, testing how far they can push the
- 16:50Speaker 3: And this is really about screwing over Americans, right, you know,
- 16:52Speaker 3: ain't our friends in Canada.
- 16:54Speaker 1: I don't think about Mexico as much.
- 16:56Speaker 3: But from what I've read, FIFA's defense is essentially, as
- 17:00Speaker 3: I understand it, we didn't mislead customers.
- 17:03Speaker 1: We just didn't tell them everything, which I.
- 17:06Speaker 3: Believe is still a lie. Right, a lie biomission is
- 17:10Speaker 3: still a lie. And it's like, don't urinate on my
- 17:15Speaker 3: leg and tell me that that's market driven pricing. So
- 17:19Speaker 3: FIFA wanted dynamic pricing, and they're about to get dynamic subpoenis.
- 17:28Speaker 3: Multiple states attorney generals, places like Jersey, California, New York
- 17:34Speaker 3: and other places are already pressing FIFA, and this is
- 17:39Speaker 3: going to end up in a courtroom. You're apparently not
- 17:42Speaker 3: able to run a global ticket scam and then act
- 17:45Speaker 3: shocked when some attorney generals are like, hey, we have
- 17:50Speaker 3: a nice invitation to come to our little speakeasy it's
- 17:53Speaker 3: called the Courtroom, and we can figure out this little
- 17:56Speaker 3: cat and mouse game that you've been playing.
- 17:59Speaker 1: It is the Bad Mahlor Show.
- 18:01Speaker 3: As we are getting the party started, and what better
- 18:05Speaker 3: way to continue the party.
- 18:08Speaker 1: And we have Cooper. Let's get to the big third
- 18:11Speaker 1: degree time ship for ratings. How about that to the
- 18:14Speaker 1: third degree. This is one big Ben gets grilled Coop
- 18:21Speaker 1: dal loop.
- 18:23Speaker 4: Ben that Seattle Seahawks are not favored to win the
- 18:27Speaker 4: Super Bowl, They're not even favored to win their own division.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Are you trying to upset no strudenus. Is that what
- 18:32Speaker 1: you're trying to do.
- 18:32Speaker 5: Look, I'm just stating the facts.
- 18:34Speaker 1: That's right, that's a fact.
- 18:35Speaker 3: No strthenas put that you go pipe and smoking, no
- 18:38Speaker 3: Struthenas with Bigfoot.
- 18:39Speaker 4: They're actually three teams that have better odds to win
- 18:42Speaker 4: the Super Bowl than the Seattle Seahawks.
- 18:44Speaker 1: You know why, Sam Darnold, that's what.
- 18:47Speaker 4: Well Seahawks defensive lineman Leonard Williams said.
- 18:51Speaker 5: I think I'd be lying if.
- 18:52Speaker 4: There wasn't a little extra motivation from hearing that type
- 18:54Speaker 4: of stuff. So there's extra chips on their shoulder. Ben,
- 18:58Speaker 4: Do you think this dish suspect by the odds makers
- 19:01Speaker 4: is actually a good thing for Seattle.
- 19:03Speaker 3: No, it doesn't matter because they're not as good as
- 19:06Speaker 3: they were last year.
- 19:07Speaker 1: The roster's not as good.
- 19:08Speaker 3: They also coop a loop, had the winners curse the
- 19:12Speaker 3: championship hangover, and they're not gonna.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Be able to get it done. Sam Donald's gonna revert
- 19:17Speaker 1: into Sam Donald. The defense won't be as good.
- 19:20Speaker 3: And more importantly, they're not gonna get an extra two
- 19:23Speaker 3: points from the referees like they did against the Rams
- 19:26Speaker 3: in Seattle with that Fugaysey two point play, which the
- 19:30Speaker 3: play was over and they just went back and gave
- 19:32Speaker 3: Seattle two points, and I crunched the numbers. Seattle's gonna
- 19:35Speaker 3: need a whole touchdown now. They forget two points in
- 19:38Speaker 3: order for them to get back to the Super Bowl.
- 19:40Speaker 3: They're gonna need a full touchdown next.
- 19:43Speaker 4: According to recent reports, the Chicago Bulls have narrowed down
- 19:46Speaker 4: their head coaching search to four finalists. They are Micah Nori.
- 19:52Speaker 4: It's an assistant head coach for the Timberwolves, Thiago Splitter,
- 19:56Speaker 4: Ryan Schmidt, another assistant head coach with the Hawks and
- 19:59Speaker 4: wes Uns.
- 20:01Speaker 5: Ben If you were Chicago's Bulls fan. Would you be
- 20:03Speaker 5: excited about any of these names?
- 20:05Speaker 1: Hell? No, at least Unseld. I've heard of you. I
- 20:08Speaker 1: heard his dad obviously back in the day. I like
- 20:10Speaker 1: that guy, Norri.
- 20:11Speaker 3: Didn't he fill in for Minnesota a couple of years
- 20:13Speaker 3: ago in the playoffs?
- 20:14Speaker 1: Mur their coach? He had a bad back or something?
- 20:17Speaker 5: That is that George's son, George?
- 20:22Speaker 3: That's right, Yes, he talks about kem trails in the huddle.
- 20:25Speaker 3: When I go with I never heard of any of
- 20:30Speaker 3: those people. But I'll go with that guy because I
- 20:32Speaker 3: remember he gave us a good SoundBite when he filled
- 20:35Speaker 3: in his.
- 20:36Speaker 1: The Timberwolves coach a couple of years ago. So I'll
- 20:37Speaker 1: go with Nori. Al right.
- 20:38Speaker 4: Next, all right, Ben, we have conflicting reports about what
- 20:41Speaker 4: Lebron James wants to do. We have one guy saying
- 20:45Speaker 4: that he actually prefers to stay with the Lakers because
- 20:48Speaker 4: his family is settled down in Los Angeles, And then
- 20:51Speaker 4: we have another guy saying that he has curiosity about
- 20:54Speaker 4: playing with Steph Curry.
- 20:57Speaker 5: Which way would you lean, Ben?
- 20:59Speaker 1: I believe he's going to Cleveland. I'll end on you.
- 21:01Speaker 5: Still you're still on the Cleveland.
- 21:03Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the you know, that's the Disney story. Lebron's
- 21:06Speaker 3: all about making movies and all that. So the storybook
- 21:09Speaker 3: is you go back to the caves, you win a
- 21:11Speaker 3: championship again, fade the black.
- 21:13Speaker 1: That's it, game over. So I'm going with Cleveland go.
- 21:15Speaker 3: Why would they there was a rumor that the war
- 21:17Speaker 3: is gonna get Kawhi Leonard and Lebron James to why
- 21:22Speaker 3: they want to make sure the doctors are busy, Like,
- 21:23Speaker 3: what are you doing anyway?
- 21:25Speaker 1: I don't know. How do we do cool?
- 21:27Speaker 5: How passed it is?

- 28:33Speaker 6: Hey Ben.
- 28:34Speaker 7: I bought a hybrid this month congratulations, thank you. It's green.
- 28:42Speaker 8: And uh but don't.

- 28:59Speaker 3: So all right, lame jokes are actually there about ten
- 29:05Speaker 3: minutes not now?
- 29:07Speaker 7: So you say you played ayfl soccer and prorection, I
- 29:13Speaker 7: did not play baseball in high school, but I did
- 29:16Speaker 7: grow up playing soccer. I have this thought, Ben, Okay,
- 29:20Speaker 7: you know pot is legal in Amsterdam, right, so my
- 29:23Speaker 7: question is in how many countries around the world is
- 29:27Speaker 7: pot legal? Because in the United States, and is it
- 29:31Speaker 7: legal in Canada? Is it legal in Mexico? Because in
- 29:34Speaker 7: the United States many places it is.
- 29:38Speaker 3: Andrew, I feel like they have this machine for this.
- 29:40Speaker 3: It's called the Google or AI or something like. You
- 29:43Speaker 3: can have all those in like what are you doing here?
- 29:45Speaker 3: Like you're wasting our time age. It's bad job by you.
- 29:48Speaker 7: Okay. So they come to imagine because Steve Doreno and
- 29:53Speaker 7: Davis were talking about foreigners coming to America, visitors people
- 30:00Speaker 7: and talking about taco bell and loving it and all
- 30:03Speaker 7: that stuff. I thought to myself, how awesome would it
- 30:06Speaker 7: be to go to California and you know pot's legal.
- 30:11Speaker 1: But yes, I'm sure all the tourists from Iran are
- 30:15Speaker 1: very excited.
- 30:16Speaker 7: And they're very happy that they can have some weed
- 30:21Speaker 7: when they come to La.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, Andrew.
- 30:23Speaker 3: Andrew's really going for that worst call of the year,
- 30:25Speaker 3: and he's really trying to settle in on that.
- 30:27Speaker 1: He's got some.
- 30:28Speaker 3: Tough competition with Dorko and Poppy and San Diego.
- 30:32Speaker 5: He doesn't even touch dorco A.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Dorko's next level. He's serious, though, he sent me, I
- 30:37Speaker 1: haven't looked at it. I have a bunch of email
- 30:39Speaker 1: I got to get to. But he sent me something.
