- 0:07Speaker 1: our friends the early risers in SOMNIAX and sociopaths who
- 0:10Speaker 1: belonged to the five o'clock Club, and we welcome the
- 0:12Speaker 1: six o'clock a risers, Welcome in. I'm Drew Wilson, joined
- 0:16Speaker 1: by Arman Sorry and Billy schmid is on vacation today.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Scott Dolphin joins us for halftime about twenty five minutes
- 0:22Speaker 1: from right now. Hunter Bombgart will join us at seven
- 0:25Speaker 1: to twenty five. Chop it up about those red hot
- 0:28Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers who won again last night four to two.
- 0:31Speaker 1: If you're just waking up, Garrett Mitchell game. Mitchell had
- 0:34Speaker 1: four hits on the center of everything, almost hit for
- 0:37Speaker 1: the cycle. He doubles, he was a homer away, and
- 0:42Speaker 1: he missed a homer by just a couple of feet,
- 0:44Speaker 1: was right there. He was called out on replay at
- 0:47Speaker 1: a controversial play at home plate, or it could have
- 0:49Speaker 1: been a five to two instead of four to two.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Speaking of replay, the United States men's national team is
- 0:56Speaker 1: through they've gone. They're through through is the correct ye,
- 1:00Speaker 1: the round of sixteen. That's a soccer term. They didn't
- 1:02Speaker 1: win there. Through England is through Belgium is through Belgium
- 1:07Speaker 1: is through in the game of the tournament so far,
- 1:09Speaker 1: we'll try and go through Belgium next. That's right, And
- 1:12Speaker 1: that is uh, there you go. That's that's one of
- 1:15Speaker 1: those Wonka ticket things. Which would you rather attend the
- 1:18Speaker 1: Major League Baseball All Star Game in Philadelphia or the
- 1:23Speaker 1: US men's national team playing Belgium in Seattle.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Well, it's hard for me to answer this because I've
- 1:29Speaker 2: already been an All Star Game. However, not the flex
- 1:32Speaker 2: i was working, No, I think really it's it's the
- 1:35Speaker 2: USA Belgium World Cup game. And for the main reason
- 1:37Speaker 2: that this is this is real competition at its highest
- 1:41Speaker 2: level for one of the most important prizes in the world.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Obviously it's still a round of sixteen, but you're getting
- 1:46Speaker 2: into you're getting into all time you know, memories, territory
- 1:50Speaker 2: with with with a deep run here.
- 1:52Speaker 1: When you get to this round.
- 1:54Speaker 2: US has not been able to achieve success like this
- 1:57Speaker 2: in this tournament. Historically, this could be a moment for history.
- 2:02Speaker 2: While All Star Games are fantastic and fun. They're they're
- 2:05Speaker 2: usually not the height of competition. Now, the MLB All
- 2:07Speaker 2: Star Game does better than any other major sport, isn't
- 2:09Speaker 2: that yep, But we're talking about through what we're talking
- 2:12Speaker 2: about the probably the most intense level of the sport
- 2:15Speaker 2: and the most intense competition. The guys will be playing
- 2:19Speaker 2: for their lives, like everything depends on it.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Life and death.
- 2:22Speaker 2: It's gonna be one of the most amazing things probably
- 2:25Speaker 2: to witness live that we've seen here in some time
- 2:27Speaker 2: in terms of an international event.
- 2:29Speaker 1: So it's gonna be awesome. The All Star Game is
- 2:31Speaker 1: a great event. I'm a big fan of it. It
- 2:33Speaker 1: is the best All Star game in sports without a
- 2:35Speaker 1: hands down, closest to the actual competition. However, I don't
- 2:40Speaker 1: ever remember them blocking off streets. No, it is not
- 2:44Speaker 1: having parties the Nomad in Milwaukee. There's bars like outdoor
- 2:47Speaker 1: watch parties, Zokolo, the food truck Park, the Morans on
- 2:52Speaker 1: the south side, shout out Moran's on the south side
- 2:55Speaker 1: had a big blot on South Milwaukee. Uh My buddy
- 2:57Speaker 1: Bert Lauderdale was doing weather reports there and stuff, so
- 3:01Speaker 1: kind of cool, A cool gathering there there's all kinds
- 3:04Speaker 1: of gatherings for these US kids.
- 3:05Speaker 2: This team has captured the excitement, the imagination, and the
- 3:08Speaker 2: spirit of Americans and you can and internationals. I think
- 3:11Speaker 2: there's a lot of people that came to visit to
- 3:14Speaker 2: watch their teams play that are probably also sort of
- 3:17Speaker 2: rooting for the Americans too, because they had a great
- 3:18Speaker 2: time here with America as the whole country.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Who's had a great run with that.
- 3:22Speaker 2: So it's fantastic, Drew, and hopefully it continues to be
- 3:25Speaker 2: as the US moves on here. Unfortunately, because of this
- 3:30Speaker 2: controversial red card about goon got last night, nonsense card,
- 3:35Speaker 2: nonsense nonsense card.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Yeah, watching that in real time, I just didn't see
- 3:39Speaker 1: any malice. It was almost a bad injury because of
- 3:42Speaker 1: the way things went down, and is when you watch
- 3:44Speaker 1: it in slow motion or you watch still photos, you
- 3:47Speaker 1: see his cleat scraping down the back of the guy's
- 3:50Speaker 1: calf and then stepping on the ankle. Now, had that
- 3:52Speaker 1: been intentional red card, sure, maybe criminal charges, but you
- 3:56Speaker 1: can't you can't analyze it that. You can't analyze intent,
- 3:59Speaker 1: and there was clearly no intent. That was an incidental
- 4:03Speaker 1: like a bad luck offshoot and that's challenge.
- 4:06Speaker 2: That's a challenge, that's more contact. Context matters, not just
- 4:10Speaker 2: looking at a still frame in VR. Well, context matters
- 4:13Speaker 2: that they're both competing for a ball. It's not like
- 4:15Speaker 2: he you know, just because the foot touched the ankle
- 4:18Speaker 2: means nothing.
- 4:19Speaker 1: You can't because it's not like.
- 4:20Speaker 2: The ball touching the ground and replay you can't use
- 4:22Speaker 2: it still.
- 4:23Speaker 1: No, and that's where the virtual Assist referee is. Yikes.
- 4:29Speaker 1: They had an expert on For those who did not
- 4:32Speaker 1: watch the telecast and haven't seen the follow up, and
- 4:37Speaker 1: let's take a listen to what a rules expert has
- 4:39Speaker 1: to say about what happened and where it goes from here.
- 4:43Speaker 3: Talk to our very own Fox Sports rules analyst, Mark Flattenberg.
- 4:48Speaker 3: You're the analyst here, you're the expert here. What can
- 4:51Speaker 3: you explain to us this foul and this red card
- 4:53Speaker 3: that was given to him?
- 4:54Speaker 4: Yeah, when I watched this in real speed, I didn't
- 4:57Speaker 4: think it was much. I thought it was just to
- 4:59Speaker 4: come into together of two players.
- 5:01Speaker 1: And what you do see is.
- 5:03Speaker 4: The Baligan's challenge does catches o ponent on the back
- 5:06Speaker 4: of the leg and then when it comes down it
- 5:09Speaker 4: catches his angle and that's when the twist of the
- 5:12Speaker 4: bosnia hits Naguvia player's foot twists underneath them. The problem
- 5:17Speaker 4: we've got is to reach a criteria of the red card,
- 5:19Speaker 4: it has to be some speed, there has to be
- 5:21Speaker 4: some force, and there has to be some malice.
- 5:23Speaker 1: This lacked that.
- 5:25Speaker 4: But what it does have, which is what the element
- 5:27Speaker 4: of the VRS hiding behind, is it endangers the safety
- 5:31Speaker 4: of the opponent because if that foot on foot challenge,
- 5:34Speaker 4: which could have acted and ended with a broken ankle.
- 5:38Speaker 4: So what they've done is the look at the consequence
- 5:40Speaker 4: of the challenge. However, in my opinion, this didn't endanger
- 5:45Speaker 4: the safety of the opponent. Baligan doesn't even look for
- 5:47Speaker 4: the foul. It's one of them where it happens in
- 5:50Speaker 4: a split second, he puts his foot down and catches
- 5:53Speaker 4: the ponent. It was an accidental challenge and for me,
- 5:55Speaker 4: this did not reach the criteria of a red card
- 5:58Speaker 4: and it shouldn't have been a VARR intervention.
- 6:00Speaker 3: Well Mark, thank you so much for explaining that, and
- 6:03Speaker 3: I think we are all in agreement with that. Is
- 6:06Speaker 3: there a way to appeal this? Is that think can
- 6:09Speaker 3: they appeal this going into the second into the next game.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Everything's for an appeal.
- 6:14Speaker 4: However, it's up to us to make that appeal to
- 6:18Speaker 4: Fife Disciplinary Committee.
- 6:20Speaker 1: And the problem with.
- 6:21Speaker 4: This is FIFA set such a high bar, especially when
- 6:25Speaker 4: it's a VR intervention. This was a VAR intervention. Therefore
- 6:29Speaker 4: the bar is set so high and it's not clearly
- 6:31Speaker 4: wrong by the referee, it's a doubt that they would
- 6:34Speaker 4: win the appeal and the unfortunately FIFA have a tariff
- 6:38Speaker 4: of an automatic one match suspension and if they deem
- 6:43Speaker 4: the challenge sufficient, they're gonna upgrade this card from one
- 6:47Speaker 4: match to anything that they face it they decide that.
- 6:52Speaker 1: For example, we saw.
- 6:53Speaker 4: In the Canada guitar match where player broke his leg,
- 6:57Speaker 4: he got a one match and he got five further suspension,
- 7:00Speaker 4: So they can upgrade this, upgrade this red card from
- 7:03Speaker 4: one match.
- 7:04Speaker 1: I doubt it now.
- 7:06Speaker 3: Mark is that only can they upgrade it only if
- 7:08Speaker 3: they appeal or they can just analyze it and continue
- 7:11Speaker 3: to upgrade it if necessary.
- 7:13Speaker 4: So even if it's not appealed, FIFA Disciplinary tomorrow will
- 7:17Speaker 4: look at this challenge and if they deem this a
- 7:19Speaker 4: dangerous challenge which could have endangered the safety opponent, they
- 7:23Speaker 4: can upgrade this challenge. I doubted in my opinion, because
- 7:26Speaker 4: I believe that this was an accident and they believe
- 7:29Speaker 4: that was worthy of a red card. That's where it
- 7:30Speaker 4: should steer the red card.
- 7:32Speaker 1: It shouldn't be upgraded.
- 7:33Speaker 2: We need to talk to there you go there, you
- 7:36Speaker 2: have a good, thorough explanation, even with that beautiful ax
- 7:39Speaker 2: at all. Yes, say so, thats like an Irish or Scottish,
- 7:44Speaker 2: wasn't it?
- 7:44Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah?
- 7:45Speaker 2: But what what a what a good stop organization FIFA
- 7:49Speaker 2: that can walk around and say, yeah, you want to
- 7:51Speaker 2: challenge it, you want to question my authority? Kim John
- 7:54Speaker 2: Lula is like, I can give you five more, five more.
- 7:57Speaker 2: So basically they're trying to scare off teams. What the
- 8:00Speaker 2: explanation They want to scare off teams from questioning their authority,
- 8:03Speaker 2: which is a little bit bombastic and ridiculous. Drew, However,
- 8:07Speaker 2: I understand the motivation from the US and say let's
- 8:09Speaker 2: not let's not try and ruffle the feathers.
- 8:12Speaker 1: But if you believe in yourself, and if you believe.
- 8:14Speaker 2: In your in your uh you know, challenge or what's
- 8:20Speaker 2: the right word appeal, then you should say we're standing
- 8:22Speaker 2: up for what we believe is right, and we're not
- 8:23Speaker 2: going to be afraid of your direct conian furthermore overhanded, uh, penalizing.
- 8:29Speaker 1: To the guys. There's like one guy. Maybe there's a committee.
- 8:32Speaker 1: I don't know how it works, but FIFA is you know,
- 8:35Speaker 1: it's like corrupt, like the US Olympic or the FIFA
- 8:38Speaker 1: like the Olympic.
- 8:39Speaker 2: The IO is the most corrupt organizations. Yes, I mean,
- 8:42Speaker 2: don't you don't you.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Get vibes like it's Vice Principal Vernon from the breakfast call.
- 8:47Speaker 2: You know, they just want to mess with the ball.
- 8:49Speaker 2: The horns just want to prove a point power trip.
- 8:53Speaker 1: I get that. Now. The thing is will The question
- 8:57Speaker 1: is though, and you have to be judicious about it.
- 8:59Speaker 2: If you're U S a men's team, will the as
- 9:03Speaker 2: they mentioned, it's gonna already be a review on this.
- 9:07Speaker 2: So is it worth a t even trying to issue
- 9:09Speaker 2: another review? Or do you do it based on principle?
- 9:11Speaker 2: Do you do it saying we don't believe what you
- 9:13Speaker 2: did was right. This is a miscarriage of justice. The
- 9:15Speaker 2: United States men's national team. We're going to put on
- 9:18Speaker 2: record for history that we've issued an appeal and and and.
- 9:22Speaker 1: And an argument is showing you like you were wrong. Yeah, absolutely, dude,
- 9:25Speaker 1: this is that's the equivalent. That's the equivalent of it's
- 9:28Speaker 1: the ninth inning, and it's a borderline call. And you
- 9:30Speaker 1: got a challenge. Left got a challenge.
- 9:32Speaker 2: You have to use every recourse in your measure within
- 9:35Speaker 2: the system. Now, the fact is, I don't think they
- 9:38Speaker 2: have the marbles drew to give the US more games
- 9:42Speaker 2: on this, because it's already a clear miscarriage of justice
- 9:45Speaker 2: to give him one game and a red card at
- 9:48Speaker 2: the risk of being biased, which I am, it seems
- 9:51Speaker 2: like a miscarriage of justice.
- 9:53Speaker 1: This was a great explanation. There was clearly no ill intent.
- 9:56Speaker 2: He wasn't even looking at the at the angle, at
- 9:59Speaker 2: the at the players, at the ball. There's nobody that's
- 10:03Speaker 2: intellectually honest with themselves that will say they should.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Have been a red card.
- 10:07Speaker 2: So I say you, you shouldn't make FIFA have to
- 10:11Speaker 2: issue a statement on it.
- 10:12Speaker 1: You shouldn't make them have to do it.
- 10:13Speaker 2: And if they actually give more games, if they actually
- 10:16Speaker 2: do this, shame on them. There'll be an embarrassment to
- 10:18Speaker 2: the world and at least everyone will know who the
- 10:21Speaker 2: real emperor with no clothes on is. And it'll be
- 10:23Speaker 2: FIFA and will overcome anyway. That's the approach you have
- 10:27Speaker 2: to have in the locker room. We're gonna overcome this anyway,
- 10:30Speaker 2: no matter what adversity they throw at us, no matter
- 10:32Speaker 2: what they do. And that's how you place the chip
- 10:34Speaker 2: on the shoulder, right, Drew, this is coaching one on one.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Right, spitting hot nails of truth. Ladies and gentlemen. Rack that.
- 10:42Speaker 2: It's got me fired up last night, and that's why
- 10:43Speaker 2: I was so impressed with the way they handled this
- 10:47Speaker 2: situation in game, and.
- 10:48Speaker 1: We talked about in the first hour.
- 10:50Speaker 2: I think prior US men's national teams in soccer they've
- 10:53Speaker 2: disappointed us, they would have crumbled. This team used this
- 10:57Speaker 2: as fuel to stay even more mentally tough and more
- 10:59Speaker 2: focused and to say we're a man down. We think
- 11:02Speaker 2: what they did to us was wrong. This is a
- 11:04Speaker 2: miscarriage of justice. We're not gonna pop, We're not gonna
- 11:07Speaker 2: feel sorry for ourselves. We're gonna circle the wagons. We're
- 11:10Speaker 2: gonna reorganize, We're gonna dig in and play defense on
- 11:13Speaker 2: a string together, yes, and stay mentally tough and overcome
- 11:16Speaker 2: this adversity. Not only did they do that, they took
- 11:19Speaker 2: momentum away from Bosnia, who was constantly getting frustrated that
- 11:22Speaker 2: they couldn't get any sort of real, real, seriously good advances,
- 11:26Speaker 2: even a man up.
- 11:28Speaker 1: And then the counter attack started. The US got more
- 11:30Speaker 1: and more control.
- 11:31Speaker 2: Our legs were fresher, we were faster and tougher, We
- 11:34Speaker 2: got to their net, eventually got the free kick that
- 11:36Speaker 2: gave us the second goal that put it away. Drew,
- 11:38Speaker 2: it was so inspiring to see that. It was so
- 11:41Speaker 2: we'll see what happens now with Belgium.
- 11:42Speaker 1: The question is was that a reflection of the evolution
- 11:46Speaker 1: and the growth of the US men's national team reached
- 11:49Speaker 1: the point was a function of playing a tournament with
- 11:53Speaker 1: the home field advantage.
- 11:55Speaker 2: So you remember in ninety four, Drew, I mean I
- 11:57Speaker 2: was only ten, but there was excitement, and I remember,
- 11:59Speaker 2: like we it through. This is America's time, this is
- 12:02Speaker 2: the nineties. Every kid in America's playing.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Soccer is the dipping dots. It's the ice cream of
- 12:06Speaker 1: the future, It's the sport of the future.
- 12:08Speaker 2: Now and Drew, you and Billy had a spirited debate
- 12:12Speaker 2: about hockey with this.
- 12:13Speaker 1: When the US I think I won that one? I
- 12:16Speaker 1: do I think I won that one because well, Billy's
- 12:21Speaker 1: thing was that that inspiring US Hockey gold medal was
- 12:24Speaker 1: gonna spur interest in the NHL and the Stanley Cup.
- 12:27Speaker 1: I don't think the ratings went up considerably as.
- 12:29Speaker 2: Real, but I think the idea is you have to see, like,
- 12:32Speaker 2: will more kids want to play in all the Well, sure.
- 12:35Speaker 1: But there's never been a bigger moment in sports in
- 12:37Speaker 1: my lifetime, and I'll never see one than the nineteen
- 12:39Speaker 1: eighty miracle on ice game, right, and that was something
- 12:42Speaker 1: of a jump start. This was not that again, maybe not,
- 12:48Speaker 1: but I'm just saying, but I knew it wouldn't because
- 12:51Speaker 1: everything's so fleeting now and you know how much bigger
- 12:54Speaker 1: soccer's already. It's reached a level in the States and people,
- 12:58Speaker 1: like we've said, more and more people are following it
- 13:00Speaker 1: and the Premier League. And what happened with soccer was
- 13:04Speaker 1: for years it's been like the most popular youth sport.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Your daughter is going to be playing in two years
- 13:08Speaker 1: because it's the law. I absolutely not. I'm not even
- 13:11Speaker 1: kidding you.
- 13:12Speaker 2: I look last night to see what the what the
- 13:14Speaker 2: first Greenfield youth program it's three years old.
- 13:16Speaker 1: Yeah, you can play it. Three, of course, and a
- 13:18Speaker 1: lot of kids run out there and it's a great
- 13:20Speaker 1: base for other sports and it's a great running and
- 13:24Speaker 1: just getting them out there and let them run around.
- 13:26Speaker 1: It's fantastic. But a lot and then a lot of people,
- 13:29Speaker 1: you know, the thing was like the thing always was
- 13:32Speaker 1: with soccer a little bit where lacrosse is now. Go
- 13:35Speaker 1: back thirty years like lacrosse. Yeah, kids playing lacrosse whose
- 13:39Speaker 1: parents didn't play and like you ask a KB will
- 13:41Speaker 1: tell you those are the quietest sidelines because no one
- 13:43Speaker 1: knows the rules and they don't know how to bitch
- 13:45Speaker 1: at the ref. They don't know anything about tactics and stuff.
- 13:47Speaker 1: Now the next generation, you're gonna have kids who play
- 13:50Speaker 1: lacrosse passing it on to the you know, to their children, right,
- 13:53Speaker 1: And that's where we are with soccer. Though it didn't
- 13:56Speaker 1: translate into mass popularity, but it's the world's game. It's again,
- 14:01Speaker 1: I'm not anti soccer, you know, to their children, right,
- 14:04Speaker 1: What are you doing, arman? What am I hearing? I
- 14:09Speaker 1: was hearing a little slap back there. But uh so
- 14:13Speaker 1: that that again, it's it's found its place and it
- 14:16Speaker 1: doesn't have to be if you don't like soccer fine,
- 14:19Speaker 1: Like you know, there's plenty of other stuff to watch.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Some people don't like baseball. They think it's too slow.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Some people think the NBA sucks and college basketball is better.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Other people think the college basketball sucks and the NBA
- 14:29Speaker 1: is better. By the way, we got to talk about
- 14:31Speaker 1: the NBA trade that Rock Bull. We'll get to that.
- 14:33Speaker 1: With so much to talk about. But when it comes
- 14:37Speaker 1: to soccer, though, I don't know like we've reached evolution where, yeah,
- 14:43Speaker 1: the US should be better and you know, we've got
- 14:45Speaker 1: guys playing internationally now and that's the way to get better.
- 14:49Speaker 1: It's it's a little bit like we're catching up to
- 14:51Speaker 1: soccer in the States the way the rest of the
- 14:53Speaker 1: world caught up to basketball. Yes, right, yes, absolutely, and
- 14:57Speaker 1: so there will come a time when some of the
- 14:59Speaker 1: top play in the Premier League or the Bundesliga or
- 15:02Speaker 1: La Liga are going to be from.
- 15:04Speaker 2: The States, kind of what the Dream Team did for
- 15:06Speaker 2: the world basketball and something exact exactly.
- 15:09Speaker 1: So that's you know, that's all. It's it's all evolving.
- 15:13Speaker 1: It just hasn't come as quickly as some had hoped. Well,
- 15:16Speaker 1: and how you measure it to when I was growing
- 15:17Speaker 1: up they told us that soccer was the sport of
- 15:19Speaker 1: the future and we were going to have the metric
- 15:20Speaker 1: system in five years. Well we're not get to the
- 15:22Speaker 1: metric system. I'll tell you that happened that neither neither
- 15:25Speaker 1: has come to Dippin' dots. Is the ice cream in
- 15:27Speaker 1: the future for thirty years?
- 15:28Speaker 2: I will say this. They don't put that on there anymore.
- 15:30Speaker 2: You can just buy Dippin' Dots. I know it no
- 15:31Speaker 2: longer says ice ice cream in the future.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Future is now. Yeah, well it's been to ice cream
- 15:35Speaker 1: in the future is their tag for thirty years? When
- 15:38Speaker 1: is the future? Yeah, the future is now. But again
- 15:41Speaker 1: soccer though, and now we have generations who have played
- 15:44Speaker 1: it and people grew up playing it. And if you
- 15:46Speaker 1: if you play through high school, because a lot of
- 15:48Speaker 1: people play it and then they give it up.
- 15:50Speaker 2: It's like we're more popular, more lucrative sports. Well, most
- 15:54Speaker 2: kids want to play sports that they dream about making
- 15:56Speaker 2: it big at and and right now in the soccer
- 15:59Speaker 2: we don't.
- 15:59Speaker 1: But that might change that. I don't know, man, I
- 16:01Speaker 1: think that, you know, I think we.
- 16:03Speaker 2: Still like other sports too, So yeah, especially it's just
- 16:06Speaker 2: part of the menu the time.
- 16:07Speaker 1: It doesn't take first place. Yeah, it's part of the menu.
- 16:09Speaker 1: But it's a great sport for kids. The cardio. My
- 16:13Speaker 1: daughter played soccer and select soccer through like junior high
- 16:17Speaker 1: and that was her springboard and it gave her a
- 16:19Speaker 1: base to be in cross country and track. Although, yes,
- 16:21Speaker 1: because the aerobic capacity that she developed.
- 16:24Speaker 2: I will say this, it sure does seem like every
- 16:26Speaker 2: twelve year old kid are an under now. For like,
- 16:29Speaker 2: when they're wearing a jersey, it's a soccer jersey. They
- 16:31Speaker 2: know international stars. Yeah, we didn't know that in ninety four.
- 16:34Speaker 2: We were excited about the World Cup, but I was
- 16:36Speaker 2: still wearing and now.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Like the it's the bar culture of bars that open
- 16:41Speaker 1: for soccer matches for the Premier League and stuff and
- 16:43Speaker 1: for early mornings. That helps. It's and the World Cup is,
- 16:47Speaker 1: but the World Cup is different. The same way people
- 16:50Speaker 1: get fired up about speed skating every four years. They
- 16:53Speaker 1: don't watch it in between, but every Olympics they're into it. Right,
- 16:57Speaker 1: So that's kind of the World Cup And that's okay,
- 16:59Speaker 1: that's all right, there's nothing wrong with that. It doesn't
- 17:02Speaker 1: have to be. Yeah, and it's people thought, oh, soccer's
- 17:05Speaker 1: being forced down our throats. Is it really like you
- 17:07Speaker 1: can't find something else to watch on Netflix or Hulu.
- 17:10Speaker 1: It's not being forced on, not at all.
- 17:12Speaker 2: It's just that people are excited about it, and you
- 17:14Speaker 2: didn't want to be excited about it forever reason, so
- 17:17Speaker 2: you get annoy other people are excited about it, so
- 17:19Speaker 2: you have to come back. Here's another thing that fires
- 17:21Speaker 2: me up. Before we get the Dolph. I've had enough
- 17:23Speaker 2: of your remedial thirty year old takes everybody out there.
- 17:26Speaker 2: If you're gonna come out with this, I don't get
- 17:27Speaker 2: the time. I don't understand why stoppage works works this way.
- 17:30Speaker 2: Why do guys are fake falling? Give me a break.
- 17:34Speaker 2: The sport of basketball is one of the most popular
- 17:37Speaker 2: sports in America right now. Still NBA is super popular,
- 17:40Speaker 2: and it's based on falling. So don't give me this
- 17:42Speaker 2: crap anymore about it. You don't like guys falling, and
- 17:44Speaker 2: you don't get the times. The time is very easy
- 17:47Speaker 2: to figure out. If you can't figure out the time.
- 17:49Speaker 2: But this is no offense. A thirty year old remedial
- 17:51Speaker 2: take that I don't want to hear anymore. It's garbage.
- 17:54Speaker 2: Go somewhere else if with this take, but don't be
- 17:58Speaker 2: around people that actually care about the sport, want to
- 18:00Speaker 2: watch it, and are enjoying it. All right, we should
- 18:02Speaker 2: just want to say I don't like soccer because of
- 18:04Speaker 2: the way it makes me feel about the sports I
- 18:06Speaker 2: grew up with.
- 18:07Speaker 1: Then just say that and get out of here. Nobody
- 18:09Speaker 1: cares anymore. Nobody cares about your immedial take.
- 18:11Speaker 5: You got me stoppage time, Now you got me considering
- 18:14Speaker 5: because it's one of the biggest cliches is the the
- 18:18Speaker 5: summer sports talk radio Mount Rushmore debate, the Mount Rushmore
- 18:22Speaker 5: of cliched sports takes.
- 18:24Speaker 1: Baseball's unwritten rules are so stupid. We go again, same stuff.
- 18:30Speaker 2: Just somebody thinks they're coming up with something brilliant by
- 18:33Speaker 2: by saying, oh, I don't understand why they count up
- 18:36Speaker 2: and then there's extra time, but it's forty five minutes.
- 18:38Speaker 1: It's a pretty and the only person who knows is
- 18:40Speaker 1: the referee.
- 18:41Speaker 2: It's a pretty simple concept. There's stoppage time because there's
- 18:43Speaker 2: a running clock. If you can't understand it, you can't
- 18:46Speaker 2: do basic math, and you have no basic level of
- 18:48Speaker 2: understanding and logic.
- 18:49Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's on.
- 18:50Speaker 2: You love it, and I think people like being able
- 18:52Speaker 2: to sing country Roads and a little John Denver together.
- 18:56Speaker 1: How great was that? I think they do that was exciting.
- 18:58Speaker 1: I think you're right. All right, Armand's off. Armand's on
- 19:01Speaker 1: a heater today. I can't wait till Monday when Billy
- 19:04Speaker 1: gets back and we get we didn't have to rack
- 19:05Speaker 1: some of these and play them for Billy.
- 19:07Speaker 2: But Derek from Whitewater's right. I couldn't believe when they
- 19:09Speaker 2: put up ten minutes of stoppage. I've never seen ten
- 19:12Speaker 2: minutes of extra time in a match, but there was
- 19:14Speaker 2: a lot of extra time.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Yeah, there was, did you yeah? That review? I get it.
- 19:19Speaker 1: I just thought it'd be like eight or seven. Yeah, whatever.
- 19:21Speaker 1: Then we won anyway, we overcame anyone. I mean, Belgium
- 19:25Speaker 1: used all of that to its advantage. Craziness. All right,
- 19:29Speaker 1: when we come back, Dolph is going to drop in
- 19:30Speaker 1: it's halftime of our last show of the week before
- 19:32Speaker 1: the holiday weekend, we'll talk to Dolph about Summerfest, about soccer,
- 19:37Speaker 1: about Garrett Mitchell. Oh, in the big NBA trade, the
- 19:41Speaker 1: Jalen Brown trade to Philadelphia was shocking, and it makes
- 19:46Speaker 1: me feel better about the way the Bucks are being
- 19:48Speaker 1: run right now. We'll discuss that as we move forward.
- 19:50Speaker 1: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, Virginia. Drew
- 20:00Speaker 1: and Arman huddled up. This portion of the program brought

- 20:24Speaker 1: So much to unpack, Dolph, starting with the US men's
- 20:27Speaker 1: national team. Just stay up watch the game I did.
- 20:29Speaker 1: I did. That was exciting, It was fun. Kind of
- 20:32Speaker 1: a bummer of a red card. We've been talking about that.
- 20:35Speaker 1: Our former colleague Elbaldos so anti replay, and I was
- 20:40Speaker 1: thinking about it, Like Arman, you're our tennis expert. Tennis
- 20:43Speaker 1: seems to have that figured out, and the ABS system
- 20:46Speaker 1: in baseball seems to be figured out, though though some
- 20:49Speaker 1: would say, why don't they just use it for every pitch?
- 20:51Speaker 1: Get every pitch right.
- 20:52Speaker 2: I don't think you want to do that because it'll
- 20:53Speaker 2: really change the nature of the game, right every yes,
- 20:56Speaker 2: And it's the same with tennis. You still want to
- 20:59Speaker 2: keep lines, people in there and all stuff. So what
- 21:00Speaker 2: I would say is tennis does it. Tennis has the
- 21:03Speaker 2: system that's done it right, and ABS has kind of
- 21:05Speaker 2: mimic that where it can be quick, it can be
- 21:08Speaker 2: a part of the thing that's exciting for fans, and
- 21:10Speaker 2: it can be accurate beyond its computer So it's it's
- 21:13Speaker 2: not no one can really debate it.
- 21:15Speaker 1: It's not like still a human decision. Does that make sense?
- 21:18Speaker 2: It does, And in tennis people get into it because
- 21:20Speaker 2: it's like, all right, there's a challenge. Everyone starts clapping
- 21:22Speaker 2: and see where the ball goes. And we do the
- 21:24Speaker 2: same thing now with ABS. And we pointed this out
- 21:27Speaker 2: Drew that that has some of the most crowd energy.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Sometimes the ABS reactions is anything Billy and I love
- 21:33Speaker 2: this because it kind of disrespects the player, especially if
- 21:35Speaker 2: it's a road team and he gets it wrong and
- 21:36Speaker 2: everyone can make fun of that guy. So I think
- 21:39Speaker 2: baseball has done great with ABS. It's mimic tennis. I
- 21:42Speaker 2: think those two sports kind of lend themselves to the
- 21:45Speaker 2: most perfect kind of replay times.
- 21:47Speaker 1: I love how fast abs that's the best thing about it.
- 21:50Speaker 1: It's like, right now, have to wait around that call.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Last night. I got thinking a lot about college football
- 21:55Speaker 1: and you'll say, no, way, that's targeting. But yet the
- 21:57Speaker 1: ref will go under the hood or whatever, and he'll
- 21:58Speaker 1: go back and still say it's tart getting that players
- 22:00Speaker 1: out for the rest of the half. Still a human decision,
- 22:02Speaker 1: it is, And the guy just made the bad call
- 22:05Speaker 1: last night, even the Premier League expert official that was
- 22:10Speaker 1: with Fox last night. So yeah, we just played that.
- 22:12Speaker 1: You gotta watch that in real time, man, Yeah, you
- 22:14Speaker 1: can't watch it. And so that's there. That's the grounds
- 22:18Speaker 1: for their appeal is that procedurally they shouldn't have used
- 22:21Speaker 1: like slow motion to look at that right, and it
- 22:24Speaker 1: made it look worse. It always looks worse. But man,
- 22:26Speaker 1: so Garrett Mitchell out at the play last night on
- 22:29Speaker 1: a play that should have been he should have been safe,
- 22:31Speaker 1: and then the US getting a red card that's going
- 22:34Speaker 1: to hamper them as they move forward against Belgium. The
- 22:37Speaker 1: more I watched the Garrett Mitchell play, I thought, oh,
- 22:40Speaker 1: they might not just because you couldn't see exactly where
- 22:43Speaker 1: the contact was being made at such a bang bang call.
- 22:46Speaker 1: But I thought they would overturn it. But then the
- 22:48Speaker 1: longer they took, I thought, no, this.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Is funny because both of those things took place around
- 22:52Speaker 2: the same time.
- 22:53Speaker 1: Yeah, in real time. I'll go and listen. Both of
- 22:56Speaker 1: our teams overcame that. Elbaldo calls it the false Scott
- 22:59Speaker 1: of replay. I think replay on balance is positive, but
- 23:02Speaker 1: it has its works. Like everything else, well it does,
- 23:04Speaker 1: and for me, especially in the NFL, is the length
- 23:06Speaker 1: that it takes sometimes to get a call right sometimes
- 23:09Speaker 1: and even in Major League Baseball, it takes forever sometimes
- 23:11Speaker 1: in the NFL, it just defies logic sometimes, like we
- 23:14Speaker 1: can all see that ball hit the ground and then
- 23:16Speaker 1: they're like, well that's a catch, Like what I all
- 23:19Speaker 1: saw it.
- 23:19Speaker 2: That's kind of what everyone felt last night with the
- 23:21Speaker 2: red card, and it's like, I don't know anyone. I mean,
- 23:24Speaker 2: it's based on someone's opinion the way the rule is.
- 23:27Speaker 2: So I understand why it happened because someone could have
- 23:30Speaker 2: the opinion, but no one can understand how someone could
- 23:33Speaker 2: have that opinion even though it's a bad But people
- 23:36Speaker 2: have bad opinions in the world all the time, so
- 23:38Speaker 2: it is what it is. But someone that's professionally charged
- 23:41Speaker 2: to make that call makes that type of call, It's
- 23:44Speaker 2: it just seems unconscionable.
- 23:45Speaker 1: I don't understand it.
- 23:47Speaker 2: And also the penalty seems over overhanded, like to say, like,
- 23:52Speaker 2: you you have to lose another game.
- 23:54Speaker 1: It's a one and a half.
- 23:55Speaker 2: It is.
- 23:56Speaker 1: Well, it's just I think it's a flaw because usually
- 23:58Speaker 1: the red card is ac I mean, it's usually it's
- 24:01Speaker 1: something nasty enough to get you kicked out, clearly intentional,
- 24:05Speaker 1: trying to injure something was pushing a guy in the back,
- 24:08Speaker 1: or SI wasn't even looking at the guy who was
- 24:12Speaker 1: looking for.
- 24:12Speaker 2: The ball when it happened quite obviously too, so the
- 24:15Speaker 2: fact that he's going to be out a game and
- 24:16Speaker 2: a half because.
- 24:17Speaker 1: Of that, And you can make the case the US
- 24:19Speaker 1: was already penalized by having to play thirty five minutes shorthanded,
- 24:23Speaker 1: and they ended up getting a wonderful goal at in itself.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Even in college football, you only lose a half, that's right. Yeah,
- 24:30Speaker 1: put somebody in in your place that was messed up.
- 24:33Speaker 2: It's designed I guess a heavy handed penalty like that
- 24:36Speaker 2: has designed to deter So that's ridiculous.
- 24:38Speaker 1: I saw a lot of people on social media. This
- 24:40Speaker 1: is why Americans don't litch sock. Yeah, right, like that
- 24:44Speaker 1: either that's just somebody that doesn't want soccer. Yeah, it's
- 24:50Speaker 1: I don't know what. I don't know all about this,
- 24:52Speaker 1: so therefore it sucks right right think with music and
- 24:55Speaker 1: everything U speaking music? Do if I got a double
- 24:57Speaker 1: header today, I'm gonna do Brewers Reds Miss against Chase
- 25:00Speaker 1: Burns and then Summerfest at night. You got a day, man,
- 25:03Speaker 1: get your free T shirt. Right, it's Miss Day at
- 25:05Speaker 1: the day it is. It's a miss Day. It's dollar
- 25:07Speaker 1: hot Dog Day. Oh that's right. Uh yeah, getaway day.
- 25:11Speaker 1: Brewers with a chance with a four game sweep. We
- 25:13Speaker 1: also found out last night that mis likely isn't pitching
- 25:15Speaker 1: in the All Star Game because he's scheduled to pitch
- 25:17Speaker 1: that last Sunday against Pittsburgh. I enjoyed that interview he
- 25:20Speaker 1: did with Boog Chamby and the crew from ESPN, but
- 25:24Speaker 1: he said he would love to start the All Star Game. Yeah,
- 25:26Speaker 1: it's gonna be a scheduling thing. By the way, we
- 25:28Speaker 1: are predisposed to hate most things Chicago and especially Cubs adjacent.
- 25:32Speaker 1: It's impossible to hate Boog Shamby. He's one of the
- 25:33Speaker 1: best guys. Book is amazing, Such a good dude. I
- 25:38Speaker 1: met him when he was with the Marlins as a youngster. Wow,
- 25:41Speaker 1: he was He and Lenny Casper were broadcasting for the
- 25:43Speaker 1: Marlins in the late nineties. Hid. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry
- 25:47Speaker 1: the two thousands. Yeah, so that was cool. Then caster's
- 25:49Speaker 1: great too. He's White Sox now, yep, yeap, white Sox guy.
- 25:52Speaker 1: So are you gonna go to summerfesternights? Yes, we'll be there.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Are you there with your rat pack? Yeah? Absolutely, We'll
- 25:58Speaker 1: be there probably mid afternoon. I was thinking about this
- 26:00Speaker 1: because I've seen your boys without you, your crew, the
- 26:04Speaker 1: Cozy the Coozy Crew, Coozy crew, Yeah from shankll We're
- 26:07Speaker 1: all we're normally always there together, but we have you know,
- 26:10Speaker 1: I might be at a different stage you guys. You
- 26:12Speaker 1: guys zip around and I've seen you guys independent, so
- 26:14Speaker 1: it's not like you totally move in a pack. No. However,
- 26:18Speaker 1: where are the wives? Where are the significant others?
- 26:21Speaker 2: Oh?
- 26:21Speaker 1: They realize they really well, some don't have significant others
- 26:24Speaker 1: via either divorce or have just never been married choice,
- 26:26Speaker 1: but uh, our other wives just know that during Summerfest,
- 26:30Speaker 1: we're probably gonna be me. That's awesome because you probably
- 26:34Speaker 1: hear this a lot too. And my wife like, I
- 26:37Speaker 1: go on vacation with my boys and like, your wife,
- 26:39Speaker 1: lets you do that? Like my wife doesn't let me
- 26:40Speaker 1: do anything. She's like and we we can do what
- 26:43Speaker 1: we want. And we've done those trips to to Nashville
- 26:46Speaker 1: Packer Games. Yeah, Madger Games. You know, we do that too.
- 26:49Speaker 1: But yeah, at Summerfest. And now my wife goes to
- 26:51Speaker 1: Summerfest occasionally, but for the most part, she doesn't want
- 26:56Speaker 1: to be down there all day. Every day I do it. Yeah,
- 26:57Speaker 1: Like that's your thing. She's happy there, it's your probably
- 27:01Speaker 1: are does your wife play golf a little bit? She
- 27:04Speaker 1: started in the last year or that's another thing where
- 27:08Speaker 1: the couples who golf together. I'm like, whoa really? Like
- 27:10Speaker 1: that's where I go to get away. Yeah, we've only
- 27:12Speaker 1: done the par three things. And I think if we golf,
- 27:15Speaker 1: if we start golfing regularly, maybe after retirement, we'll probably
- 27:18Speaker 1: you know, have our own little thing where we go
- 27:20Speaker 1: out during the day and hit It's good to be
- 27:23Speaker 1: together and it's good sometimes, Yeah it is. And we
- 27:26Speaker 1: also just got a dog, so that's going to be
- 27:28Speaker 1: a big part of our life. I did not know this, Okay,
- 27:31Speaker 1: a few days in got a poppy rescue or two
- 27:34Speaker 1: months old. Puppies are tougher than toddlers. It's been a process.
- 27:38Speaker 1: It's like having our kids all over again. And it
- 27:40Speaker 1: will eventually talk. That's the problem. Yeah, it doesn't matter
- 27:44Speaker 1: if you have a bad day or they have a
- 27:45Speaker 1: bad day, you're still best friends. That's why people love it,
- 27:48Speaker 1: right because there they'll never be upset at you. But
- 27:50Speaker 1: my wife has always been extremely allergic, to the point
- 27:53Speaker 1: where she got allergy shots and all of that stuff.
- 27:55Speaker 1: But this is a it's a golden doodle, so it's
- 27:57Speaker 1: like allergenic. I had one of those for years. They're awesome,
- 28:00Speaker 1: very very popular dogs. At two months old, this has
- 28:02Speaker 1: been a great dog so far. Yeah, that's amazing. That's
- 28:05Speaker 1: so cool. Yeah, it's funny because last night, again my
- 28:08Speaker 1: wife went out with her girlfriends. What did I say?
- 28:10Speaker 1: She said, I'm going to know with the girls, have fun,
- 28:12Speaker 1: have fun. So I took the dog on a walk
- 28:14Speaker 1: and stopped at a couple of bars and had some
- 28:15Speaker 1: pops saucy, exactly beautiful summer deal. Love that so I
- 28:20Speaker 1: had my companion. Yeah, that cracks me up. Who've seen
- 28:23Speaker 1: a summer fest, Uh, Armond, I'm gonna watch armand watch
- 28:26Speaker 1: the gin Blossoms. No, I'm just gonna watch it. I
- 28:28Speaker 1: will be there, arm Up. We've got uh you kidding me.
- 28:32Speaker 2: We've got a great lineup for Arman and my zeitguys,
- 28:35Speaker 2: Sister Hazel, Spend, Doctor Hazel Spin Doctors and gin Blossoms.
- 28:38Speaker 2: Why ever have anything but a nineties act? I'm sorry,
- 28:41Speaker 2: that's what I want to see.
- 28:43Speaker 1: You know. Uh in nineties acts still frindle box.
- 28:47Speaker 2: That's all elder millennials like me that I have time
- 28:49Speaker 2: and and well, I want to say money some of
- 28:51Speaker 2: us I don't.
- 28:52Speaker 1: But you know, some people have money and they go
- 28:54Speaker 1: and they want to indulge in these acts.
- 28:56Speaker 2: Why do you think the Backstreet Boys is more profitable
- 28:58Speaker 2: now than they were you in back in the you know,
- 29:02Speaker 2: back in.
- 29:02Speaker 1: The you know business. They can charge more MTV days
- 29:05Speaker 1: because they can charge more, and for the most part,
- 29:07Speaker 1: nineties acts are still bringing it. There's eighties acts that
- 29:10Speaker 1: are hit or miss at Summerfester anywhere else as we
- 29:12Speaker 1: found out with people like David Lee Roth or yeah,
- 29:16Speaker 1: over the past couple of years. But you take a
- 29:18Speaker 1: bad like Jim Blossoms.
- 29:19Speaker 2: They've been a great professional pro touring ban for a
- 29:22Speaker 2: long time.
- 29:23Speaker 1: They still are together, they still sound good. I've never

- 29:32Speaker 1: I'm excited to hear Sister Hazel. Haven't heard them in
- 29:34Speaker 1: all well. They did a country project, you know, they
- 29:36Speaker 1: were working on in Nashville for the last couple of years.
- 29:38Speaker 2: They were like a jangle pop type group always, you know.
- 29:41Speaker 2: So that's pretty cool. Yeah.
- 29:43Speaker 1: All Time Low is another that's a kind of nineties.
- 29:45Speaker 1: They're playing on the next stage tonight. So Jim Blossoms,
- 29:49Speaker 1: All Time Low, I got mums on the main stage. Yeah,

- 29:55Speaker 1: Summerfestors always big. It's you can't go wrong there. I'll
- 29:58Speaker 1: probably go all three days. Hard for me not to

- 30:16Speaker 2: So?
- 30:17Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, like Summerfest is going on, Yeah, Dolph. I
- 30:20Speaker 1: was telling Armand before my wife pointed out that we
- 30:22Speaker 1: have no concrete plans for the weekend and it's blissful.
- 30:26Speaker 1: We can do whatever we want, whenever we want. We
- 30:27Speaker 1: have nowhere to go, no obligations.
- 30:29Speaker 2: Like that's nice, amazing how in your twenties you you
- 30:32Speaker 2: could have You could get a little anxiety about a
- 30:34Speaker 2: weekend with no plans, like a I foa moment missing out?
- 30:37Speaker 1: Are people kids out partying? Like what am I doing?
- 30:40Speaker 1: But now it's the it's absolute nirvana. You just want time.
- 30:43Speaker 2: They have nothing to do but wake up and start
- 30:46Speaker 2: cooking bacon, and like it's just nirvana.
- 30:48Speaker 1: I was telling Arman that that's the way I like
- 30:50Speaker 1: to go on vacation too. Some people are planners. We're
- 30:52Speaker 1: doing this, we're doing this, we're doing this excursion. I
- 30:54Speaker 1: don't like signing up for the excursions, like if we
- 30:55Speaker 1: want to go jet skiing or we want to go parasailing,
- 30:58Speaker 1: or we want to go on a cat around. Let's
- 30:59Speaker 1: do it decide, you make the decision. I don't like
- 31:01Speaker 1: having stuff locked in on vacation. I just want to
- 31:03Speaker 1: let the day happen and let it unfold. I'm with you.
- 31:05Speaker 1: I'm more of a beach guy now. Now, my wife,
- 31:07Speaker 1: we're doing Iceland in a couple of weeks with Feminal
- 31:10Speaker 1: six and we've got we've got a lot of excursions
- 31:13Speaker 1: locked in over there.
- 31:14Speaker 2: Pretty well, that's one one thing. So you can argue
- 31:16Speaker 2: about us a couple sometimes, but it's dolf.
- 31:18Speaker 1: I got to ask that. We got to get to
- 31:19Speaker 1: a nuts and bolt sports thing right now. The shocking
- 31:23Speaker 1: trade and the NBA last night, Jalen Brown to the
- 31:26Speaker 1: rival Sixers for Paul George and a raft of picks.
- 31:28Speaker 1: I can't figure that out. What Celtics fans are going crazy? Yeah,
- 31:31Speaker 1: they think it's the worst trade. It's Luca two point zero.
- 31:34Speaker 2: They must have been the only thing I can think
- 31:36Speaker 2: of is the Celtics must have been desperate to get
- 31:38Speaker 2: rid of him for the best offer, which some people
- 31:40Speaker 2: think are pennies on the dollar. But they get picks
- 31:43Speaker 2: and they got Paul George. It would be one thing
- 31:44Speaker 2: if he wasn't under control. Right, he's got a year
- 31:47Speaker 2: or two left. He's just been so he's just been
- 31:49Speaker 2: so upset with the win that they've treated him. And
- 31:51Speaker 2: he was obviously in the honest dealings, and he's outspoken
- 31:54Speaker 2: about it. They just think that, I think the relationship
- 31:56Speaker 2: they figured can't be repaired. And if you don't think
- 31:58Speaker 2: he's gonna have big game against Boston, forget Andrew Tony.
- 32:02Speaker 1: This is the next Strangler. Okay. Well, and the Celtics
- 32:06Speaker 1: are they following the Bucks path of winning a title
- 32:08Speaker 1: and then dissolving into nothing with injuries and just you know,
- 32:12Speaker 1: like maybe maybe because if Tatum ops out.
- 32:15Speaker 2: The Bucks tried at least I would say, yeah, this
- 32:18Speaker 2: doesn't seem like the Celtics quote un well.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Paul George and Paul George is not the answer. But
- 32:25Speaker 1: now now the Sixers are their fans are like, let's
- 32:27Speaker 1: go get Lebron. Now we're next, right, that's embiid Lebron,
- 32:31Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown, keep em beat healthy.
- 32:34Speaker 2: So don't forget about Maxie and Maxie That's what I'm
- 32:37Speaker 2: saying about.
- 32:40Speaker 1: They have young guards, so they're like that. Now they're like,
- 32:43Speaker 1: let's load up and get Lebron. They're contenders now. The
- 32:46Speaker 1: Raptors are contender with Quiet. But the whole thing with
- 32:48Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown makes me feel better about the Bucks not
- 32:51Speaker 1: making that trade with the Celtics to get Jayleen Brown
- 32:53Speaker 1: and make you feel good that you got a star player.
- 32:54Speaker 1: He'd have been pissed, he'd have been out of here
- 32:56Speaker 1: on the first thing, smoking, and the Bucks would have
- 32:58Speaker 1: been left holding nothing. That's a great point, and it
- 33:01Speaker 1: was according to reports, it was Jimmy Haslm who said, no,
- 33:04Speaker 1: we're taking the heats offer. We're not taking Jaylen Brown.
- 33:06Speaker 1: He ain't gonna stay, and that was the whole Miles
- 33:09Speaker 1: Garrett Lesson. You know, maybe maybe Jimmy Haslm's evolving as
- 33:12Speaker 1: an owner after giving Deshaun Watson the bag, thank you, Jimmy.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Has anybody ever said thank you to him?
- 33:18Speaker 2: No?
- 33:18Speaker 1: Has anybody ever said he made a shrewd move? No,
- 33:20Speaker 1: I might have to stop by the what is it
- 33:22Speaker 1: the pilot flying Jake today and get gassed. You'll stop
- 33:25Speaker 1: a quick trip like the rest of Yeah, stop a
- 33:27Speaker 1: quick all right on the way out. Speaking of Bucks,
- 33:30Speaker 1: it's not game balls and kicks of the balls, but
- 33:32Speaker 1: a permanent kick to the balls to whoever tagged the
- 33:34Speaker 1: frickin Yiannis mural, Yeah that was ridiculous. And but what
- 33:37Speaker 1: shout out to the artist who immediately came by and
- 33:40Speaker 1: fixed it. Yeah love that by the way. Yeah, put
- 33:43Speaker 1: a camera on that day, and I feel like that
- 33:46Speaker 1: wasn't even like ay honest thing.
- 33:47Speaker 2: It's just some jerk trying to exactlyize it wasn't a protest.
- 33:51Speaker 1: I was not at all. I said on TV last week.
- 33:53Speaker 1: I don't see anybody burning Yannis jerseys or anything. It's like,
- 33:56Speaker 1: it's not, it's not. There's a couple of voices out
- 33:58Speaker 1: there trying to, I think, run that up, but it's
- 34:01Speaker 1: some jack waffle tagging that that that should be sacred
- 34:04Speaker 1: and better not anybody mess with that.
- 34:05Speaker 2: You.
- 34:06Speaker 1: Oh, no that. I don't think that will ever. If
- 34:08Speaker 1: that happen, unless the same guy does it.
- 34:10Speaker 2: That happens, you'll see millions of fists ready to fight
- 34:13Speaker 2: to find that person and.
- 34:15Speaker 1: To string them up like absolutely sound. And the location
- 34:21Speaker 1: of that is cool too, because it's right by the
- 34:22Speaker 1: Fister and uh you know, it's where teams stay and
- 34:26Speaker 1: they'll get to see you. It is. It's what it's
- 34:27Speaker 1: just right around the corner on the wind Trust. It's
- 34:30Speaker 1: pretty cool. I think it's cool that public ard. And
- 34:33Speaker 1: we're not the City of Festivals anymore. Where the city
- 34:35Speaker 1: of murals. Who's next? Why not Garrett Mitchell after a
- 34:38Speaker 1: Forehead night? Maybe who's Who's mural worthy? Why don't we
- 34:43Speaker 1: have a mural? Let's put mez up on the side
