• 0:24
  Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio. Of all the auction erin Torres that
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: happens is the US and Australia. Yeah, so just seconds
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: underway in the Pacific Northwest. Great time to be in,
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: Great time to be back.
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: We appreciate ste guys giving us this platform and like
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: I said, just a heck of a time to be
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: in this chair. I heard Colin say this coming in,
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: this might be literally the most important US World Cup
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: game in three to four World Cups because obviously, if
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: we win this, we essentially advanced to the round of sixteen.
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: I know there's math involve that we don't have to
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: get into right now, but man oh man, fun times.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Well, and here's the thing, and we'll get to this later.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: It'll be the round of thirty two. Because of the
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: expanded field, this year.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Don't worry.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: It's all a part of the conversation that we'll have
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: over the next two hours. But the US in Australia
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: just underway. You know how we've got the audience covered.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Aaron Torris, I should have said knockout round, but yeah,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: that's just flushed your luck.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: That's all right, it happens. By the way, it feels
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: like every team that made the World couple make it
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: to the knockout stage. It's kind of it's this weird feeling.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure that expansion was necessarily great for the
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: World Cup.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I can understand the.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Reasonings and why they expanded to forty eight teams. However,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: when it comes down to the play, and they've also
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: changed some of the tie breakers as well, could make
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: some of these group stage matches meaningless. But we'll get
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: to that later in the show. If at any point
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Aeron Torres during the next two hours, the United States
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: scores a goal and we are on the air and
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: like we're not in a break, We're not in a timeout.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: You're gonna hear one of the most patriotic, one of
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: the most spine tingling songs, a song that just oozes
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: red White and blue. It will immediately start playing here
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: on Fox Sports Radio. You ready to hear what song
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: that is? Iowa Sam? So if you hear Haul Cogan's
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: theme music, that means the United States is on the board.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: So that's when we rely on Chris Purfett, who's going
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: to be watching one of our soccer experts, Jason Stewart, Sam.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: They could give us all the details of what would
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: have just happened in that match we should have should
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: we have one for Australia too?
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Should we play like I don't know, men at work?
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Men at work? Yeah? Right, I figured that's the that's
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: the right one.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: In excess, if you if you hear I think men
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: at work works, if you hear men at work aeron Torres.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, and you'll know there you go.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: This, by the way, will not be a lot on
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: the podcast, but if you hear this, you'll know that
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: the United States is down or just allowed a goal
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: to Australia. All right, that's how we will tell you.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Those are our warning signs today here on Stuve gottson
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Company Live on Fox Sports Radio.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: It is so great to be on right, as you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: it's not often that you could be on in a
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: moment that you know that everyone that is listening to
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: us is you know, like wants the minute by minute updates.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: Now everybody can be in front of a TV. It's
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: just a very cool moment, especially middle of the day, summertime.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: Very cool to be on it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Ihearts the home to the World Cup as well, so
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: I know that you can catch the matches there. But
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: if you're listening to us, we appreciate it, and it's
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: just it's awesome because we're gonna be riding along with
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: you with this match and it is important and there
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: will be a lot of eyeballs on this match here.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: But I think like as the stakes get bigger, if
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: it is to the round of thirty two and the
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: round of sixteen, There's been a recent trend Aaron Torres
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: where the biggest events in sports have just drawn crazy
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: numbers over the last year or so, and so like
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: when we're entering this World Cup, I know you kind
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: of wanted to make not an apology in any way,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: not maybe a mia culpa, but some of this excitement
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: I know caught you off guard a little bit. But
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: I think we're going to see because we're in this
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: time where the Knicks are coming off of a championship,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: and we've had the best ratings of an NBA finals
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: since nineteen ninety eight. We've had other great events. We're
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: on the heels of a US Golden Hockey and the
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Winter Olympics that had crazy numbers. But I think that
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: when you see the US and if they're able to
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: advance with this being here domestically in our country, I
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: think we're going to see crazy numbers for these matches,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: and a crazy number for this match today.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you mentioned Ama culpa. You mentioned an apology sometimes,
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: you know, you were very nice about how you frame that.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Sometimes you just need to give America an apology. And
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: I think one thing not enough people do in this
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: business is just admit when they're flat out wrong. And
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: I said on my weekend show a few saturdays ago,
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: you know, I said, is are we feeling.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Buzz for the World Cup?
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: Is this thing gonna land the way that a World
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Cup normally lands. I just didn't feel like there was
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: as much excitement as I was anticipating a week ten
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: days out. Well, we are now what eight nine, ten
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: days in, and it has exceeded every logical expectation we
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: see all the stuff on social media, the visitors enjoying it,
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: but as also somebody who was you know, on vacation
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: for you know, earlier this week. The number of people
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: that you would just meet at the pool, at the
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: at the bar wherever, saying you know, either one, you know,
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: everybody's circling around the TVs to watch the games, what's
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: going on? But two also just the number of people
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: that I met who you know, I'm from Houston, I'm
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: going to the game on Sunday.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I'm from Seattle. I got to get back early for
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: this game.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: It was really cool to see, uh, the excitement about
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: this event, which again has totally exceeded my expectations as
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: far as how involved people are. I think there's some
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: other stuff I can get to in a minute, but
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: want to give you back there the opener.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: The opener that the US had against Paraguay had twenty
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: five million viewers across the English and Spanish speaking broadcast.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Last night, my son wrapped up sports camp. He's five
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: years old. They didn't have sports camp today, so yesterday
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: was the last day. He loves Buffalo wild Wings and
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: I said to my wife, we should take him. We
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: should take him for a treat for finishing sports camp
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: this week. Then dawned on me that we're on the
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: We're in the West coast and at six o'clock local
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: time it was niney some at six o'clock local time,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Mexico and South Korea.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: We're going to play their match.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: And I said to my wife, I said, I hope
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: you didn't say anything to him, because it's probably going
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: to be super busy. She goes, I did say something
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: to you said all right, well, let's go now. So
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: we showed up at five o'clock, showed up an hour
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: before the match. And I'm not kidding Aaron Torres that
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: there there was nobody. When you check in, you walk in,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: you put your name in, they say, you know, five
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: ten minutes to get your table ready. There was a
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: line of people that came in over the next ten
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: to fifteen minutes, whether filling into the bar. There was
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: a party of ten, there was a party of fifteen.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: The entire the entire restaurant last night was filled with
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Mexico fans.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Every TV.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: I kid you that every TV except one which still
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: had the golf channel on it, every TV had the
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Mexico in the entire Buffalo Wild Wings. It was standing
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: room only.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: When they started to play the Mexican national anthem, my
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: wife started to cry, Okay, like in this like we're
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: getting emotional in this Buffalo Wild Wings And again, this
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: isn't our team, this is our So there is something
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: organic about it and bringing everybody together and you know,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: people and listen. I don't know how much people get
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: together anymore to watch Super Bowls at places like that
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: or the NBA Finals, But I went to a Lakers
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: playoff game at the same establishment about two or three
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: months ago and nobody was there in this town in
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Los Angeles. But everybody was there last night for Mexico.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: So I don't think that. I think it's everything around it.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: So it's even bigger than I would have guessed. Aaron
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: I would have said, I think it's going to be
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: pretty big for the United States, but I'm not sure
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: on how it's going to carry about well Mexican. You know,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Mexico fans were going crazy last night. There was standing
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: room only. We left near the end of the first
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: half and there were people still waiting to just get
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: a table to eat last night. So it is just
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: completely off the charge charts, whether it's the US or
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Mexico or whoever in watching this World Cup.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: Well, and I think too the other place that you
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: can see it is just in ticket prices. And I
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: was thinking about this. So my father in law is
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: a big soccer fan. He spent a great majority of
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: our vacation, not by the pool, not by the beach,
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: in the room by himself watching soccer. And you know,
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: it's his vacation, He's allowed to do what he wanted.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: But we were really hoping to kind of try to
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: get him to one of these games here at Sofi
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Stadium during the World Cup, and unfortunately there was a
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: few that were obviously happened while we were away and
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: weren't possible. But this coming Sunday is Father's Day, and
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: I had kind of eyed the game on Sunday at
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: Sofi Stadium, Belgium versus Iran, and I could tell you
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: the third I guess. The World Cup technically kicked off Thursday.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: It was the Mexico I can't remember who they played,
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: but Mexico played South Korea played the late game, and
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: tickets on that day for the Belgium Iran game on
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: June twenty first, which is obviously two days from now,
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: We're about three hundred and fifty dollars, and I almost
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: pulled the trigger and said, you know what, I'm gonna
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: hold off, wait another day. They are currently sitting at
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: nine hundred ten dollars as a get in price, so
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: they've essentially tripled in a week. And I only bring
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: it up because one thing that I'm seeing and I
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: think what you said, we've become an event culture, and
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: I do think there is something too, There is something
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: to the big events, the impact that they're having. Go ahead,
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: oh oh, oh oh. We were going to go over
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: to Chris Burfet at the news desk. We've got a goal, Chris,
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: what what just transpired in Seattle? Do we have Do
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: we have an update?
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: There is one in the back of the net as
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: the United States is celebrating.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's one in the back of the net right now.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: I'm trying to see who got it in real quick.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: It is going to be counted as an own goal
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: on Australia off Cameron Burgess. I'm trying to see who
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: the last American was to touch it, because officially.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: In Australia, yeah, that's going to be on Australia.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: That's on you man. Sorry, should we play network backwards?
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: If it's an old goal? Is that the Is that
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: how it works?
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Oh? Oh, it is an old goal in an own goal.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: All right, here's the you know, Chris, before you make
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: your point, I mentioned my wife crying.
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: This is I will say real quick it was Peppy
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: closest to it, so he might get some credit. And hey,
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: the man who came in for the injured Pulisic in
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: the starting eleven.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Ricardo Peppy got the start for Polisic who's out
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: today with that calf injury. My wife has cousins in
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Australia and so we're like, oh, us Australia. By the way,
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: this is just as inconvenient for Australia watching this match
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: as it is for most of us here in the States.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: If they would have put it at eight o'clock at
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: night Eastern time, sure, it's it's five am right now
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: in Sydney, you know, at five twelve am it's noon
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: for us here on the West coast, three on the
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: East coast. Like if this was just five hours later,
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: it would have been in the prime window for everyone.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: But they put this smack dab to start off the
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: day just a little bit weird?
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Can I ask a question?
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: Yes, we'll get back to my ticket price rant in
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: a second, but one nothing usay. I did see as
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: I was getting ready to travel back yesterday a lot
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: of people with the tangent about how unfair it was
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: the US that this game was at noon Pacific noon
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: local time three eastern?
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Is that like an American thing?
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: Like?
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: Are we being too greedy and too selfish with that one?
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: I do know that we are the host, and I
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: think the US might actually pay more to broadcast the
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: World Cup to FIFA than any other country. I'm not
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: one hundred percent sure on that I know that had
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: been true in past World Cups. Is that just American
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: elitism at worked there? Or do you think there's something.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I don't think that. I don't think. So.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Scotland and Morocco will play after this match, So that's
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: six o'clock Eastern time. That is, Scotland is five hours
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: ahead of the East Coast, eight hours ahead, so they're
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: going to be playing at eleven o'clock at night. So
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: like it would have been better for Scotland and Morocco
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: to play now this win and in fact, this match
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: is in Seattle. How many times do we have an
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: NFL game where there's West Coast game starting first or
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: a week never happens, never, never ever happens. But here
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: they put it on it at this point. So I
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: don't think it's anything about American greed. I think it's
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: more just for maybe they thought that this was going
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: to get the biggest, the biggest rating that they could
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: for their TV partners, and that's why they put it
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: in the spot.
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: Sam back to the own goal topic. Didn't we start
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: against Paraguay with an own own goal?
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: I believe so. Yeah, And I believe the first goal
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: was an own goal for the US. And then I
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: heard that, like the the amount of own goals this
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: World Cup is like far exceeded like last last World
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: Cup in Qatar.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know, it's kind of a phenomenon with all
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: these own goals. Yes, the own goal the United States
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: scored seven minutes in. You are correct, good memory. I
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: completely a little free boost for the US.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: I know that Chris Purphfett wanted to jump in on
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: our soccer talk, but I'll also say this. Jason Stewart,
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: our executive producer has never been one to shy away
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: from buying interest into anything. Okay, we have, We've had
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: conversations about this. I'm in three World Cup survivor pool.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: No, you didn't call me. Come on, you know, I'm
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: mister Survivor pool. Now, I know. I know. It's but
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: it's it's crazy. How many are you? And Jay? How
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: many did you get in? I think seven? I'm in
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: seven in seven.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: But I feel like I don't even need to buy in,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: like I would be bought in watching it without buying interest,
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Like I don't feel like looking back on it, I
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: didn't need to buy in and compete in a survivor
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: pool to be interested in.
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: The World Cup. But the format is this. In our
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: survivor pool, you pick four teams to advance out of
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: this opening stage. So it's kind of a it's definitely
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: a slow roll for me. I think I'll have most
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: interest in the survivor pool in the next elimination stage.
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: Right now, it's just kind of a I don't know,
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: it's just really slow for me. But I will say this,
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: you know how, I'm typically the prolonged agony guy. You know,
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: I usually root for for like Canada, not to win
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: a Stanley Cup. I like to prolong It's a better
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: story from our perspective, The prolonged to agnity agony of
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: America just not doing well in the World Cup would
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: be an interesting narrative. But I can't really talk myself
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: into that. I am the I am the consummate kind
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: of I guess negative guy when it comes to those
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: kinds of takes.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: But I'm actually all about USA. So that speaks a
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: lot to this.
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: Can I jump in? Because Dan, there was a rant
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: that I did. I don't remember what year it was.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: I don't remember if it was the last World Cup,
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: if it was some summer event that we were part of,
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: where I just said, the US will never be good
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: at soccer and we have to accept this as a country.
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: Stop blaming the coach every time we lose. Okay, I
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: remember that rant vividly, and so I bring it up
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: because I am the ultimate team USA pessimist and I
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: am one hundred percent with Jay stew on that in
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: that if the US were first of all, if the
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: US were to get knocked out in the group stage,
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: this would be obviously be a disaster. Given the draw
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: of this that the other thing. But I do think
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: there is only positive with them advancing, no real negative,
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: and I don't think it moves the story along for
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: like the continued Team USA agony, because I don't want
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: to speak for most fans. I might be in the minority,
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: but I've always been of the belief, like you know,
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: I've always been the Team USA fatalist of everyone gets
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: their hopes up every international tournament. We never live up
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: to expectations. So I think that that there is no
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: negative to US advancing, And to your point, Chase too,
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: I don't think it moves the story along at all
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: or makes it a more interesting World Cup if it's
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: a disappointment.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like when the US didn't qualify eight years ago
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: when it was in Russia, like that really stunk, like
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: that like that was it was just there was. Yeah,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: you can follow it along, but I mean, I think
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: what happened at least here in the States least what
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: I do when it comes to the Olympics. If the
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: United States isn't good at anything, I'd go to my
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: heritage and what I'd say, I'd be like, oh, I'll
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: root for them, but not with the interest of the
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: United States in you know, and having it. So I'm German,
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: I'm Norwegian, So like if the US wasn't in, I'd
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: be like, oh, it's see how Germany does later, right, right,
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: But it wouldn't rise to the level of the excitement
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: and them just not participating eight years ago, just it
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: really stunk. And the good thing is now, like it's
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: really going to take an epic fail for them not
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: to qualify with forty eight teams. But it's I'm with
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: both of you guys in this of just and I
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: like to see these things come to an end. And
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: I like to see the best players to never have
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: won a major win a major in golf. I like
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: to have that, especially when it comes to like individual events.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I think that's we're we're all on one
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: side here, and that's why the ratings I think are
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: going to be interesting as well. Just to give a
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: couple of numbers and we'll take a time out, but
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: the US and Canada gold medal game that was earlier
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: in the morning for US in the Winter Olympics, that
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: averaged eighteen point six million. We're coming off of an
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: NBA Finals where more than twenty million people watched the
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: average of game five was twenty four and a half
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: million people. The World Series averaged fifteen point seven but
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: Game seven between the Jays and Dodgers twenty seven point
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: three million people watched that one. That was more than
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: That doesn't include the Canadian aud anything. No, if fifty
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: one million watched that Game seven of the World Series
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: between the US, Canada and Japan.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: So so those like those are some of the numbers
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: that we're talking about. And obviously the NFL numbers are huge,
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: but I would expect that the NFL. I think the
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: College Football National Championship had thirty million between Indiana and Miami.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: I would expect the US to top that number today.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: Just to add on to your point, Kse Dallas Thanksgiving game,
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: we looked it up the other day.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: It was something crazy like forty plus million.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: It was like the highest rated regular season game in
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: like thirty five years or something like that.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: So he's Aaron Torres, I'm dan by our Chris Perfetts
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: at the news desk. I want to we don't have
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: another goal, but we're gonna get a bit of a
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: recap from what just happened earlier.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so we'll do more than that.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: We actually have the call from TV on Fox Flaren
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: Balligan got the goal. I got the ball and everything
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: after this is what happened when he had it. They
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: couldnverge on it very quickly.
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: All again, it's a step on Hircati Palagan to the piline,
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: Ballagan into the battleton.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: It's the United States once to get on the board.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Only Riccardo Peppy was in. Was it perhaps last off
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: the defender? Who cares?
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: It's one LUs.
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: Well, we do care about it being right. It was
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: off Cameron Burgess the Australia and yes Ricardo Peppy in
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: front of the goal. But Balligan the one making it happen.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Did you have a point to make earlier that we
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: got interrupted by the goal?
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: I just I share an extremely similar story to Aaron
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: Torres on ticket prices. I think I was also looking
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: at one of those Bosnia games, and I think I
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: was also looking at like Iran New Zealand, which went
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: up I think in the span of three days from
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: maybe two hundred dollars to four hundred and fifty.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Wow, Yeah, it's crazy.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: I looked as well, and then at some point I'm like,
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: all right, I'm not gonna look anymore for no reason too,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: all right, Chris Purfetts at the news desk keeping us
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: up to date of all the happenings. We've got the
• 19:56

• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Cogan's theme, just like that. If Australia scores, you've got
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: this and if we have another own goal, we'll just
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: play them both at the same time. Right, That's the
• 20:08

  Speaker 4: Company live keeping our eye keeping you fully updated on
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: what is happening at the World Cup. And we are
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: at the half in Seattle. You heard Chris say at
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: us up on Australia to nil, and whenever the United
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: States has scored a goal, which has been twice in
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: the first half, you heard this song on the program.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: Even after a var we were able to cash it in.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: So if you hear this again, you know the United
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: States has added another goal to their total at some
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: point here within the next sixty minutes. We do want
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: to give fair play to Australia as well, so if
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: the Aussie's end up scoring and putting one in the net,
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: I was sam we got. Of course we do in
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: excess was an option, but we decided men at work
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: is the at least I decided men at work was
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: the best option.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: I will tell you you're not a music guy, by
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: the way, now I'm not.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: I will say this though, as you know, my mother
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: has a time not time share a condo in Vegas.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: Australian Beg's very popular show in her age group. I
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: don't know much about them. I don't know if we
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: have any Australian Beg's Easy did Access she just like
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: once a month. Is like, yeah, me and the girls
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: just went to the Australia. I'm like, you've been eleven times.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: I've seen clips, Okay, I'm impressed. I think it's it's
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: pretty good. I haven't I haven't seen it in person.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: I'm a fan of the Beg's Love Barry Gibb, Love
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: the Brothers GiB Maybe.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Next time I'm in the she can get you tickets.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: She knows a guy apparently because of goodness, she's there
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: a lot. I swear to go Jason Stewart.
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: I'm guessing I'm like a lot of our listeners. I
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: thought you were going in a totally different direction. There
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: about a time Sharre in Vegas, the Men down Under.
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: I'm sure there is more famous.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, if she does go to Thunder from down Under.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: She has kept that one to herself, thankfully. I'm not
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: saying she has or has not. I'm just saying I'm
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: very grateful she has.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: I'm glad her son doesn't know, yeah, that's that's fair.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm happy with.
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: The spots in Vegas. Maybe a tough day to play golf.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: I'm sure it's boiling hot, but still there are people
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: who will go out there at one o'clock in the afternoon,
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: maybe discounted rates. Go ahead, have some fun. If you
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: think playing golf is fun. I absolutely love the sport.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: There are some who love it and end up hating
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: it by the time it's over. Jaqe Neeman, who currently
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: plays with Livgolf, one of the better players in the world,
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: A young star coming up throughout the ranks making his
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: impression on the world of golf. Joaque Neeman had a
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: tough time yesterday when he shot seventy eight. Jaque Neeman
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: recorded not an eight, not a nine. He recorded in
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: eleven on the Power four sixth hole, and that was
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: because of a two shot penalty that Neeman got for
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: throwing his club. It is a newer rule when it
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: comes to professional golf, but there was a rule put
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: in in twenty nineteen by the USGA, basically a Code
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: of Conduct rule AARON that said players could be docked
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: strokes for unbecoming kin on the course. Now this was
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: not fully adopted until this past year, and the I
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: guess the irony in all of this. I think there
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: were a couple of incidents last year at the US
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Open at Oakmont that forced this to be put into
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: play this year. Rory McElroy chucked the club about fifty
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: yards last year at the US Open after a bad shot,
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: and Wyndam Clark, who is currently in the lead, also
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: destroyed a locker at Oakmont Country Club, actually two lockers,
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: with his frustration in the clubhouse. There was a picture
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: taking it went viral. It was not a good look
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: for Wyndam Clark, and now he's leading the US Open
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: at seven under par. But the fact of the matter
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: is like the golf course is a place where you
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: want to get away, and very rarely can you because
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: it is such a frustrating sport. And I feel safe
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: in saying that of this crew that we've got here,
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: I'm the one who loves golf the most, I don't
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: have I have a desire to throw a club. However,
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: I am not at the level of one walking Neeman
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: with so much at stake. He didn't get a great
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: ruling that he liked, but still you can't act like
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: a petulant child. And now the hammer is starting to
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: come down on these players that do.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it sure seems like it. And I don't know,
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: do you play? Do you play golf? So I really
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: stopped playing because I was so bad, And I've this
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: part I've told on air. I don't know to you personally,
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: but fun fact about me. For three years in college,
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: I worked at a golf course during the summer, and
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: one there were two reasons I stopped playing. One one
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: time there was a barter situation where I went out
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: with the club pro for about twenty minutes and he
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: fixed my swing and I was hitting it straight for
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: like four days straight, for like four you know, yeah, yeah,
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: four day straight, and then by day five it was
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: just a train wreck again. And I realized, I'm never
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: gonna be good with good at this without a lot
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: of time and a lot of money, especially when you're
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: in college.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: More so the money than the time. Situation just didn't
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: have a lot of it.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: But I I literally got worse at golf every single
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: summer that I worked at a golf course and decided
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: that maybe this wasn't in the future for me.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: This is this is the This is the interesting dynamic
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: because I think people who are really really bad at
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: golf shouldn't get mad at being really bad at golf
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: because they should just go out for the walk and
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: understand what is what. It's the player and I'm and
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: I'm Jauki Nieman obviously has goals and aspirations to win
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: a US Open and plays at the highest level, and
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: it doesn't go as why Now, granted, he's an adult,
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: so he shouldn't act like a child. But I do
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: think that there are there are levels too on whether
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: you should be able to throw a club or not,
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: because there's like if you're if you're that bad, you
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: know kind of what you're dealing with right, Like to
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: your point, like you took less for four days and
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: then the swing goes away and it's not there on
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: day five. On day five or six, I could say,
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: all right, Torres had it going the last couple of weeks,
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: it's not happening.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Now he's mad because he can't figure it out. But
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: at some point it's a foregone conclusion that you stink
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: at the sport. Yes, So the worst thing that you
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: can do is just damage the equipment or just stop
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: playing if it's going to be that miserable for you,
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: if you're not good and you don't want to play,
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: just stop playing the sport. Don't chuck clubs and make
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: it uncomfortable for everyone else.
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I do actually kind of remember during the
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: stretch immediately after where I was, where I was progressively
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: getting worse every single time after being half decent for
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: like two days. I do remember like smashing a club
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: on the ground, and I think breaking it because it
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: is it is a very frustrating thing. And I think
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: I speak for a lot of people. I think I
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: speak for a lot of former athletes, you know, probably
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: a lot of people in our business. Like if you
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: ever played sports at any sort of competitive level, even
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: high school. I mean I never played beyond high school,
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: but it's like you play to be good at stuff,
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: like I am not. And maybe maybe I'm wrong on this,
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: but I am not the type of person that can
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: just do much for like much competitive things for fun
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: without actually being good at it. Now you go to top golf,
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: that's a little bit different something like that. But like
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: if I'm going to commit a day to you know,
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: getting up early, going to the range, renting clubs, borrowing clubs,
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: like I don't want to go out there and stink.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: So I might be in the minority on that, but
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: I'm just.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: Call it the former competitive athlete and me no big
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: deal high school football, class of three. But I'm just saying, like,
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: I can't. I can't just be like, oh, I got
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: three hours of sunlight, like that's a win for me,
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Jason Stewart has such an interesting perspective on his own game,
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: and one that I really appreciate, not just as the
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: executive producer of the show, but someone who does tee
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: it up on two to three occasions a year.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Jason Stewart, Yeah, I'm awful at golf.
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: I don't know if I'll ever be good, but I
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: have golf with people that are good, and it is
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: always when stuff like this happens on the pro level.
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: It's interesting to me because I always think that it's
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: part and parcel. If you're going to elevate to that
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: level of being a professional, you need to have a
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: this the threshold of losing it, the threshold of rage
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: has to be so high. So when these guys do
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: reach that threshold, it's very interesting to me because, yeah,
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: if I've been golfing with guys and I see them
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: they're throwing their clubs or the most common way to
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: release rage is to use the F word and just start,
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: you know, stomping around. But like you see that on
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: the golf course because we're amateurs and this is how
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: we react when we think we're good at something and
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: something goes wrong. But when you're a pro, when you
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: reach that level of rage, that those moments to me
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: are very interesting.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: And again Nieman got a ruling that he didn't like.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: He was looking for relief from what he said was
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: like a patch of fire ants. I'm not telling you
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: this because I'm trying to justify what he did. There
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: was just a build up to it. He also the
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: volunteers there that sit along the edges of the fairway
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: to find golf balls. They'll take a flag if your
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: ball is in the rough and mark it down so
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: you see where it is, so the players know where
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: it is. And he apparently kicked that and then chucked
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: his club. Yeah, so there's a lot, so he was.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: He was given that two shot penalty. But Jason, you
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: said that you play golf with people who play golf. Well,
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: but when you play and you don't play well like
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: your what is your thought? You explain this before the show.
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean, I'm always aware of I've learned a
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: certain amount of etiquette tour. I don't want to slow
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: up anybody's game. I don't want to be the guy
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: that creates the eye roll for people that do take
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: it serious just because I'm not taking it serious. I
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: don't want to be that guy that slows things up
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: or makes your experience worse. So me and you of
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: golf Dan along the way, I will with you to
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: make sure am I doing that? Do I not do that?
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: I just want to make sure that I'm not ruining your.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: Experience, Yes, and that I think that that's very considerate,
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: because you know, I want to know what happens when
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: somebody chucks their club. There's there's two seconds of this
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: awkward silence, and the third second is usually somebody who
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: can't control their laughter, and then that makes it worse
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: for the guy who just checked this boy. But there
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: is this awkward sense. I was playing with a cousin
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: of mine and he teed off on a short part four.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: It wasn't an awful shot like It wasn't like it
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: didn't go ten yards, It just didn't go where he
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: didn't want it to. And the next thing, you know,
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: he chucked into the pond, you know, like a helicopter
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: like you know, it's a hipher and it was just
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: the two of us, so there was so it was
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: super awkward.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: What do you say at that point? It's the only
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: person you've got a chance to talk to. It is
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: super awkward. Should he have checked this club?
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: No?
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Did I have the story to tell on radio years later? Yes?
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: So I guess I'm now glad that he did it,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: but it was awkward. I was gonna say, how did
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: you handle it?
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: What do I say down the fairway? If if my
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: ball's in play? Here? There's there's nothing you can say.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: You almost have to let them have the serve, Like,
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: just let them whenever they want to talk and they
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: want to say something, just let them say it. I
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: don't want to say, do you just want to drop
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: it by mine? Where do you want to drop it?
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Are? Yeah? Are you gonna play? You're gonna play this whole?
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: What?
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: There's nothing that you could say, but it's completely awkward
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: joaking Neeman, It's a bad look for golf. It's a
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: bad look for a professional who does that. But I
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: also do have an understanding of what's at stake. John
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: rom today dropped an F bomb that was so loud
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: you almost thought it was on Mike like it was
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: of what he said when he missed the butt on
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: the night told their kids around the whole. I'm sure
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: that they heard it. If you go to a golf tournament,
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: you're gonna bring kids at times, right, they're there to
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: get autographs. I don't know if they're already hear John
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: ram yelly F word, but that's what he did. And
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: if Joaquin even's throwing clubs, I sure sec wouldn't want
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: my kid to see it. But it just makes it
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: awkward for everybody, completely awkward. And now golf's putting a
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: crack down on it.
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's it is a bad look and it
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: does make it awkward. I think the the more interesting
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: part is the reaction of everybody else and how do
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: you react and is there a proper reaction? And then,
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: like you said, you know, if it's a foursome somebody
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: who cracks the first joke, and then do you laugh
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: at it? Do you not laugh at it is it
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: does the guy who threw the club or broke the
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: club laugh at it.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: It's a hole.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: When you're in a foursome and that happens, you have
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: two other guys or two other people that are in
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: the same boat. So like you're all kind of together
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: on this.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: What do you do? What do you do with Chuck?
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Get twosome?
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just one on one talking about Lonely Island.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: That's where it is. That golf cart can get quiet.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: He is erin Torres. I'm Dan Beyer. They are underway
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: in Seattle, US and Australia Group D. In the second
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: half fiftieth minute, US continues to lead by a score
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: of two nil. Again No Christian Polisic today out because
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: of his calf injury, and if the US holds onto
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: this lead, he may not play in their group finale
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: against Turkey as so that's something to something to watch
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: to rest him for the knockout stage.
• 34:30

• 35:20
  Speaker 4: When you walked in today, could you sense the tension?
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: Could you sense the tension in the building? Vibes felt
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: a little off.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: I thought it was about Team USA, but then I
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: learned there are much bigger stakes than just Team USA
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: advancing to the round of thirty two.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Jason Stewart, Iowa Sam, you guys are here every single day.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Today felt a little bit different.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: With Chris Purfett and Mike Lingard in the same building,
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: in the same studios.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: Did you guys get that sense.
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: There was eerie quietness attention like a duel at high noon?
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I sense peacocking. There was visual peacocking, the raising
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: of the chests as they walked through the hallways, just
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: kind of daring you to test their soccer knowledge and fandom.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: That's what. That's what. That's what that peacock and is
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: I I.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: We all we all love them, and we love these
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: two guys right here, But do you all know the
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: soccer fan that wants them to let you know and
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: make sure that you know that they know about soccer?
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: The question is with you two, and I'll start with
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: Big Mike. Who do you think like is more soccer
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: guy here at Fox Sports Radio? You are Chris Prefet.
• 36:28
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and give that to
• 36:30
  Speaker 9: Chris Purfet. Oh, even though I'm older and I have
• 36:33
  Speaker 9: been a soccer fan longer, I think he might pay
• 36:36
  Speaker 9: more attention.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, well we'll find out, Chris Door you wait.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's me that the old bait
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: and switch.
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: Well, if I need really musty old names of players
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: long long ago, I will go to Mike. Otherwise I'm
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: gonna hold myself about what's going wrong right now soccer.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: Let's let's see who knows more at Fox Sports Radio
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: about soccer. Is it Chris Burfett at the news desk
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: or is it Mike Lingard Mike who doesn't run this
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: place but they say he does on Cavino and Rich
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: Aaron Torres, Jason Stewart, Iowa, Sam and myself just have
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: some questions for you guys. I'm just gonna start it out.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna start it out with Chris. Chris outside of
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: the twenty twenty six World Cup, what's your favorite World
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: Cup memory?
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: My favorite World Cup memory would probably be the two
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: thousand and six World Cup where Italy won it all,
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: including my favorite player who I watch on his club side,
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: Francesco Toddy, the eighth King of Rome.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: The peacocking is strong out of the eighth the clubs.
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: I watched him on the club side. So for us
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: who don't understand that, that means you watch him during
• 37:51
  Speaker 7: the regular season of this regular.
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: Teamyah, which is Syria as Roma. Who's jersey I am
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: wearing right now?
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Oh? All right, Mike, what's your old Cup meant most
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: that would.
• 38:02
  Speaker 9: Be the World Cup final nineteen eighty two, Germany versus Italy.
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: I was I was literally in this West Germany. I
• 38:13
  Speaker 9: was literally in Germany at the time, playing soccer with
• 38:19
  Speaker 9: the team, the youth team that I was playing on,
• 38:22
  Speaker 9: and we watched the game in Germany. There were literally
• 38:26
  Speaker 9: riots in the streets on our way back after the game.
• 38:30
  Speaker 9: But yeah, being in Germany to watch the German versus
• 38:34
  Speaker 9: Italy final in nineteen eighty two, that would be my
• 38:38
  Speaker 9: World Cup.
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: The humble brage there, the humble brag in that description.
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: There's no humble about youth team plane in Europe. That
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: means you must have been pretty damn good in nineteen
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: eighty two. What you would have been? What eighteen? I
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: actually I was twelve. He was wow the Germans. I
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: wasn't getting paid. It wasn't a professional league or anything.
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: But I was in international soccer at twelve.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: I was not a terrible soccer player.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: Oh Man Torres, you want to you want to get
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: to know these soccer fans.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: I think the tape measures already. You know, we've already
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: been able to pull it out to you.
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: So I have two tangential stories that I'll say for
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: another day. What Chris already semi got to the question.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: That I was going to ask.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: Okay, in true soccer fandom, how many individual soccer jerseys
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: or kids as they call them, have you used your
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: own hard earned money to purchase?
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: Chris, you go first, Oh, so it's just the ones
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: I've been Okay, because I had a friend in the
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: Netherlands who sent me about three different jerseys of his
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: team international friends. No, No, another one. I was running
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: a Lions podcast. He listens, He knew I was into
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: soccer and sent.
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: Me I was a slow Flori circies that have been
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: gifted to you as well, because obviously if it's a gift,
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: it's something that another would deem to be very important.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: To from the Dutch. Get from the Dutch.
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so I have a Team USA jersey, the Waldos,
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: but those were from twenty twelve, not the ones they're
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: wearing right now. I have three of those ones from
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: the Netherlands. Do not ask me to remember which what
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: the name of the club is. I've got this Roma jersey,
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: I have a Team Italy practice jersey. I have a
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: Leonel Messi Argentina jersey and a Lionel MESSI sorry, not Messy.
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: I forget the player, but it was real Madrid. I
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: have one of those hanging up in the closet as well,
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: and then I think I have one from Venetsia as well.
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: They had some fantastic jerseys for a while when they
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: came up to Syria.
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: I want to let the listener know that you can
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: weigh in at Dan Byer on Fox, at Aaron Underscore Torres.
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: You can tweet at us who you think is winning
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: right now in this soccer showdown between Chris Burfett and
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: Big Michae Lingo.
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: By the way, I counted nine kicks, okay, I prefer
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: them as jerseys.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: Sorry for me, make that ten.
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: I forgot. I have a Detroit City FC jersey as well.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Got to wrap a t right, got a rep a
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: dynastic all right, Michael Inguard.
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: And by way, not jerseys from your club days that
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: were given to you as part of your team issue.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Sure, I understand purchased or gift to you. What does
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: it count if I purchased it or gifted to somebody else? Yeah,
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: well no, because that's a reflection how big of a
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: fan they are.
• 41:19
  Speaker 9: So just for me, Yes, Okay, that's zero. I believe
• 41:25
  Speaker 9: it or not, I'm not and I'm not a jersey guy.
• 41:28
  Speaker 9: That's just not my my it's not my deal. I
• 41:31
  Speaker 9: don't even I've got one jersey for the Panthers that
• 41:34
  Speaker 9: was purchased for me. I don't have a Dodgers jersey.
• 41:37
  Speaker 9: I don't have a Lakers jersey. There are people I'm
• 41:40
  Speaker 9: kind of like that I'm not a jersey guy, but
• 41:43
  Speaker 9: I I mean, I am a Byron fan. If somebody
• 41:46
  Speaker 9: bought me a Bayern Munich jersey, i'd wear it.
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: And if I get to go over there for the
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: Lions game in November, I'll find you one.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: I'll take it. I'll pay you back for it. Look
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: at that per fat Jason Stewart.
• 42:02
  Speaker 8: By the way, I was going to say, Mike, I'm
• 42:04
  Speaker 8: gonna tell Steve Coveno you're not a jersey guy.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: I think he might be offended. That's fair, not cool, Jason.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: You got any exams you want to give these two so.
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: You know they say brevity is the soul of wit.
• 42:16
  Speaker 7: I want your elevator pitch, Chris. I just want your
• 42:19
  Speaker 7: elevator pitch. You walk into a room, maybe somebody is
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: contemplating having some kind of a soccer commentator.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: What are your credentials? I know that not the jersey
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: number of jersey.
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: I just want to know, like how, when where did
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: you start your soccer passion and what what made you?
• 42:39

  Speaker 6: everything is deliberate. Everything is for a purpose and when

  Speaker 9: They never had more than two goals scored against them,
• 44:27
  Speaker 9: and they never scored less than two goals in a game.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Those are talking about that team all these years later.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: That's right. You guys do like reunions. Yeah, actually we
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: have done a reunion. My little brother was not bad either.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: Oh so pedigree. He's talking about pedigree that I don't know.
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: Is there?
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I didn't.
• 44:47
  Speaker 8: I didn't exactly play this your robust, well, sir, I
• 44:49
  Speaker 8: just all right, I was Sam. All right, the last
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: round here, it's going to be a trivia if you
• 44:55
  Speaker 8: have a follow up. But okay, yeah, so I got
• 44:57
  Speaker 8: one more. We got one more. Let's do a training
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: question for of you. All right, I'm gonna start with
• 45:01
  Speaker 8: Mike Linguard. You've been around a little longer, You've seen
• 45:03
  Speaker 8: more World Cups. Mike, tell me the last Middle Eastern
• 45:07
  Speaker 8: team or country to win the World Cup.
• 45:11
  Speaker 9: Oh, this is Middle Eastern. I don't believe there's been
• 45:18
  Speaker 9: a Middle Eastern team to win the Cup.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: You are correct. They have got a trick question. It's
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: only South America and Europe yep ORACE has tried to.
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: Very good Mike, trick question, I'll tell you all right,
• 45:35
  Speaker 8: let's go to Chris Purfett here. If scoring three goal
• 45:39
  Speaker 8: goals is a hat trick, what is the term for
• 45:41
  Speaker 8: scoring two goals?
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: It's a brace?
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: You got it? They've both got it correct. Wow, this
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: is neck and neck. I have a few trivia questions
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: that I looked up before this. You want to lay
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: them on them? Do you want to?
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: I have a jet I don't have a trivia question.
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: I just have more of a general Okay, you go,
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: you go.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: Reo Is it a brace? What is a brace?
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: Comes from hunting? Yes, it comes from hunting. If you
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: come back with two pheasants, it's a brace. It's a
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: brace a pheasants, so to there's a brace.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: Look at that.
• 46:09
  Speaker 8: When I looked up what the like the origin of
• 46:12
  Speaker 8: that term was, I couldn't even find that explanation.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: That's amazing, well done for both of you.
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: I've I've never heard that term up until now. In
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: this World Cup it's always been so and so scored
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: two goals.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: Nobody ever said he had a brace.
• 46:26
  Speaker 6: It's much more of a British thing. I've noticed, like
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: English commentators it is.
• 46:30
  Speaker 8: I saw it in an article for Mbappe and for
• 46:33
  Speaker 8: uh Holland when they both had the two goals on Tuesday.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: I just want to I just want to get this
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: in here and then, and I know Aaron has one more.
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: Is we decide who had Fox Sports Radio is the
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: bigger soccer head.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: Is it Chris Parfed or is it big Mic Chris.
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: I'll start with you, have you gone out of your
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: way to correct someone here at Fox Sports Radio with
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: a soccer term that they maybe said wrong or pronunciation
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: or anything in that regard?
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: Uh sometimes you know what not here at Fox. And
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: to be honest, my rule when it comes to terms
• 47:03
  Speaker 6: like pitch and whether it's nill or zero is I
• 47:07
  Speaker 6: don't care. I would rather Americans enjoyed. If you want
• 47:10
  Speaker 6: to call it the field that they're on. If you
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: want to call it, say two zero, or do the
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: winning score first instead of who the home side is,
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: be my guest because I want more people in on
• 47:19
  Speaker 6: this sport.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: Same question to you, Big Mike.
• 47:21
  Speaker 9: Yes, I have and I will continue to do so
• 47:23
  Speaker 9: on a regular basis. Don't screw it up if you
• 47:26
  Speaker 9: don't know what you're talking about. I'm going to help
• 47:27
  Speaker 9: you out. And I'm not even talking about on the air.
• 47:29
  Speaker 9: I'm also talking about just in casual conversation. Correc wouldn't
• 47:32
  Speaker 9: affect anyone else. Yes, all right, your trivia question, Aron Tory.
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: Let's get the trivia question because I want to get
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: to the panel here, the distinguished panel of Me, You, Dan, Iowa,
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: Sam and Jason.
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: Back to the kit question. The jersey question.
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: Does it make you a bigger fan to have purchased
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: ten like Chris Prefett although three were gifted, but that
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: I count it because it means somebody loves you or
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: are you? So that's a big fan that it is
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: implied and you don't have to wear a kit for
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: everyone to know just how big of a fan you are,
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: Like Mike.
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: Listing, this is interesting. There is a culture in Gulf.
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: It's called the logo culture. People want to wear logos
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: of the courses that they've played, and a lot of
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: the top courses are private courses, so you're not a
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: member of that course. Like, if you play it, you
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: get an item. I'm guilty of it as well. I
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: have I have hats and shirts from clubs I don't
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: belong to, but I've been fortunate enough to play.
• 48:29
  Speaker 9: I think I actually bought you a hat once from
• 48:31
  Speaker 9: a club you did, and it's a public course, so
• 48:34
  Speaker 9: I'm free to wear that. But like it's there's this
• 48:37
  Speaker 9: there's this weird sort of like level to it. I'm
• 48:40
  Speaker 9: almost to the point now where I'm like trying to
• 48:42
  Speaker 9: go logo less because I don't to what Aaron.
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: Is saying, I don't want to be that guy. Yeah,
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: I don't want to be that guy with everything. So
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: I'm almost thinking less is more because I'm just gonna
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: wear what I'm gonna wear.
• 48:54
  Speaker 6: Okay, so I would say to that A there was
• 48:59
  Speaker 6: a point where I think soccer jerseys have become part
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: of fashion, and for me, who usually wears just playing
• 49:05
  Speaker 6: T shirts, they are pretty much like if I want
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: to be fashionable or have something unique wearing on, I
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: will find a soccer jersey. The other thing is I
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: do have a friend who works with Adidas, and uh yeah,
• 49:16
  Speaker 6: no I I I do root for the three stripes
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: over over the swoosh.
• 49:19
  Speaker 7: Again, just bragging about kind of the international ties, like
• 49:24
  Speaker 7: if you if you didn't realize that a couple of
• 49:25
  Speaker 7: minutes ago, Chris had said that I don't I want
• 49:27
  Speaker 7: Americans to enjoy soccer. In other words, I see soccer
• 49:32
  Speaker 7: from more of the international viewpoint. But if Americans will
• 49:35
  Speaker 7: enjoy this, and then he just basically in America, not
• 49:41
  Speaker 7: in Germany.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: I German.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: Chris has got some work to you. Got a last question,
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: one quick one. We'll convey our ruling.
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: Okay, do either of you own a soccer scarf? And
• 49:48
  Speaker 8: how many I do own one?
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: It's an IX Amsterdam scarf.
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: Okay, I really want to get one of these bolloguan
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: ones that are going around.
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: I do not have a scarf right now. Because I
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: don't wear scars, I thought to hold him up. I
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: bought one when I was in Barcelona for FC Barcelona.
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: Fun fact about me, So I don't know where that
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: puts me into this mix here.
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: But well, the fact that Big Mike pronounced it correctly
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: and not Ajax as you will. I think that's another
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: another point. You know, our decision is going to have
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: to come up on the other side. It truly is
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: who was the biggest soccer head. There was a lot
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: of topping I think there. I will say this. I
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: think Chris Purfett weaved in some toppers. Big Mic came
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: over the top with him. It's right now, it's too
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: close to call on my mind.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: Unlike Team USA matches, this is neck and neck.
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: Yes, still to nil, seventy fifth minute in Seattle, US
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: up on Australia. No goals so far in the second half.
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: But if there is a goal, you're going to hear
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: haulk Hogan's steam. I go from the Americans right here
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: on Fox Sports Radio
