  Speaker 1: Yeah, that Chuck Norris was chasing the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The

  Speaker 1: You love sandwiches? Huh, let's go to eighty.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: He was bo.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Wow that Prime Time. Maybe I had a crush on
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Betty Rubbell. I honestly, until after the segment ended and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: we went to commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Coachman was black. He caught them the game last night,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: although they won the game. You're listening to stegattson company.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: It is stegotsa company presented by Fandodle on the FanDuel sportsbook.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Is He before we got started today was just going
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: in a million different directions about Leo Messi, and so
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I just want to start there because he is passionate
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: about what happened yesterday. We have a World Cup final.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: It is Argentina taking on Spain. They are playing it
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: in Secaucus, New Jersey, which is an absolute joke. We
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: are the host country and the best we have to
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: offer a World Cup final is where the Jets play.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, are you kidding me? Secaucus, New not Ala,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: not Dallas, not Chicago, not Boston, not Philadelphia. We are
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: going to send the biggest soccer game in the history
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: of soccer games to a dump in New Jersey. Absurd.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mikey, do you know how bad football has gotten
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: in New York?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Right now?
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: The Buffalo Bills will be on ESPN New York in
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: New York City. Like, that's how bad the Jets and
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Giants are that they are putting the Buffalo Bills in
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: New York.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: It's it's a joke.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Are you telling me? The flagship radio station for Buffalo
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Bills football is ESPN Radio in New York City ten
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: am because they're tired of carrying the Jets games. They
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: want a winner. It's unbelievable.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Just a small correction. Mettlife Stadium is in East Rutherford,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: not so caucas.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I don't care. They're both done the same thing a couple.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: There is no differentiatings. You should play championship games wherever
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the Jets play. That's all I'm saying. I don't care
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: where it is.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's not where my passion was for it.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: But I will say this much. I forget which match
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: it was, but the announcers were saying Sofi Stadium in
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: LA was literally the best stadium they've ever been in
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: and these are like World Cup, but you know these
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: are soccer announcers who've been all over the world. So
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: in LA like in terms of scenics, in terms of
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: you know, scene and be seen.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: How do we not pick LA for the final? Yes,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: because we're gonna do that thing where we come in
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: with camera shots of New York City and realize we're
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: thirty five minutes away from New York City in a
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: dump in New Jersey.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Wait a second, isn't the third place match? I didn't
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: think about this till just now. It's in Miami, right, Yeah,
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: so that's England coming back to absolutely die in this heat.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: That's because a lot of people say, I mean, look,
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: they looked worn out in this game, and that you
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: know that game, the quarterfinal game in Miami was definitely
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: something that drained the heck out out of them, and
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: to have them come back is just gonna be hilarious.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: How many starters are just gonna be like, no, I
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: don't need to play this one.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah for a chance at third right, Yeah, let's just
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: bypass that game altogether. I think everyone would be happy.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I think England be happy. I think everyone would be happy.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It's a win for everyone.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but man, what a game. I don't think, Taylor,
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: can you think of a better just definition of like
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: a superstar or like a great teammate, like all sort
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: of wrapped in one that is Leo Messi because this
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: dude was absolutely getting beat up in that first half
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: like that Anderson dude was just a goon yesterday. He
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: was out there to get physical with Messi and this
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: is not a first right, obviously a lot of people
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: do this, but he was doing some stuff and that
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: was that one play where it looked like he was
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: going in to like break Messi's leg, and yet he
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: sort of sloughs that off. He has, you know, arguments
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: with Jude Bellingham or whatever and gives that fame this
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: look like, okay, you want to mess with me, And
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: it was a very Robert de niroll you're talking to
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: me face and then just seems to do everything right.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: Like when they talk about not poking the bear. You
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: can see a difference when Messi plays pissed off like
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: it's it's it's an it's an entirely different approach. He's
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: just more aggressive and the last thing you want is
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: the best guy to ever do it to constantly be
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: on his game to give his teammates chances, and he
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: does it over and over and over again. It seems
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: to make all the right decisions and seems to handle
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: the physical play, and then it's just like the perfect
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: teammate to all his guys. And it's just I don't
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: know anybody who's done it better than this guy in
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: any sport.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: It feels like when we went into this World Cup,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: the narrative around this World Cup was it's gonna be
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Messi's last World Cup. It's gonna be Rinaldo's last World Cup.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be all these aging superstars last World Cup.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: It's it doesn't even feel crazy to say that this
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: doesn't feel like it's Messi's last World Cup because he
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: comes in at nine, but he's leading the Golden Boot
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: race heading into the final and looking to repeat as
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: champions in the World Cup.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to tell a superstar how to go out,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: but if he wins it here and wins back to
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: back World Cups, it's pretty good way to go lay. Yeah, exactly.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: It is crazy, Taylor, because as much as you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: I've watched every minute of their games in this World Cup.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: I didn't watch every minute of their games in the
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: last one, but he looks better now, Like the stuff
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: that you see him doing in MLS where people are
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: just like, oh, it's only because of the competition, Nah,
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: it feels like he can do that in this competition
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: as well. And you know, like you said, it's thirty
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: nine years old, so I mean, what was Ronaldo forty
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: one in this World Cup?
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: So you know, I don't think it would be crazy
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: for Messi to just chill for four years and come back,
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: you know, and maybe play a lesser role.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: But I could see it happening.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: To Stue's point, though, it doesn't feel like it feels
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: like Ronaldo was always going to go outside. Ronaldo has
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: way too big of an ego. He was always gonna
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: be the guy who drags his team down at the end.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: It doesn't feel like Messi necessarily would do that to
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: this Argentina team. But if he wins the final on
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Sunday and they're back to back World Cup champions as
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: a country, if you're Argentina, you've lost the right to
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: ever say when when Leo Messi could hang it up.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Because Leo Messi at that point is retiring When Leo
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Messi says, if Leo Messi wants to be playing in
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: the World Cup at age sixty up top for Argentina,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: he's earned that right at this point.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, But if you if you went back to
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: back World Cup victories and you won that stupid boot,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: what you retire? Is there a better way? For honestly,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I know, and you're gonna tell me a third right,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: but I'm not certain he's gonna be forty one when
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the third one comes around. Is there a better way
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: for him to retire? With back to back then with
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: back to back World Cups and a stupid boot?
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: It'd be great for a number of reasons, But the
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: one that I think of mostly is because before this
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: run of you know, Copa Americas and the World Cup,
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: like Messi kept finishingishing runner up in all of these
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: major events, and that's when people called him, you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: some version of a fraud, you know, they called him,
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: you know, he could only really star with his superstar teammates.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: I was one of Barcelona. And then now he's doing
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: this right, and if he were to sort of let
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: the conversation happen. Answer answer, answer, answer, It's just the
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: perfect sort of arc for him, right because he comes
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: back and loses and it's like, oh, he gave it
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: one more try the old man, and it just doesn't
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: feel the same.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of with Stu.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: I feel like he should retire from international play if
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: he if he wins this one, but I would not
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: be shocked if he just keeps going.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Stu.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I have the stat from Zach Kram that kind of
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: highlights Argentina. We've never seen a team like Argentina, maybe
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: not since the Knicks in the finals.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Actually a team that has played.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: With so much. We haven't seen a team like this.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: So we've gone about six weeks a team like like.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: You don't give me that face. I thought about what
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: I said, and I said.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: He did. He's corrected on the fly, he did.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I've been there correct me.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, that was the only one who didn't say anything.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: You call me out, Well, you made a face.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Face was the strongest out of everybody's face.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: We were gentle compared to the face you made.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Argentina.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Every match is playing with fire, but they come out
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: of every match on top where it's like, yes, they're
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: playing with fire, but they do have this team of
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: destiny vibe to them. Where this stat from Zach Kram
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: the timing of Argentina's winners in the knockout rounds versus
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Cape Verde one hundred and eleventh minute, first Egypt ninety
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: second minute in stoppage time, verse Switzerland one hundred and
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: twelve minute, versus England ninety second minute in stoppage time.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: They haven't led after ninety minutes of any knockout game,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: and they're four to zero in the knockout round.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: And that's what makes Argentina so good is because, like
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: we talked about yesterday, they kind of like compartmentalize, you
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. It's like, all right, if they're
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: on the rush, we we'll focus on defense until they're
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: worn out. All right, it's our turn now. And they're
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: just you know, it's the precision with with Messi and
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: finding his teammates. It's just it's amazing. But my favorite
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: part about this match was the rivalry.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Like it felt.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: I felt like I was watching like Duke Carolina on steroids,
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: Like they were so like they hated each other. You see,
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Like when England scored its goal, Pickford feel like he
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: grabbed his crotch and sort of yelled at the Argentina
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: side the fans behind him, and then who scored Argentina's
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: first goal.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I'm Sorryes, it's escaping me right now.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: But after he did that, just yelled right in Pickford face,
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: and it's just like, wow, I love this stuff. And
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: then you know they're going back and forth and the
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: arguing and all the physical play, and it's just like
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: for that guy, the smallest, probably seemingly the smallest guy
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: out there, to just lead them back and for them
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: to win the way they did, it's just it felt
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: like and then they had that they had a flag, Taylor,
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: which they're not allowed to have, which FIFA should probably
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: find them for or penalize them for. That said the
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Falkland Islands are Argentinian, so here they are referencing a
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: war from decades ago, and it's just like, wow, I
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: already knew the history of this matchup, but you never
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: really understand it sometimes until you watch it and can
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: feel those that hatred.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: For each other, the Falkland Islands, right like Marshall funk,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I just want to make sure Land Islands wait is
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: he did you hear what Taylor said? Which they haven't
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: won a game in the bounce out, they haven't won
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: a game in regulation. It'd be like a team going
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals and winning all the games in overtime.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Well, except it goes back to your rule, like it's
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: just because the official has that extra minutes in the
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: whole have the extra minutes in their pocket. Argentina would
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: have been out a long time ago.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so Stu today is he He's coming in and
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: he's saying credit Argentina, credit Messi. Let's talk messy, Let's
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: talk messy. I was prepared to come in today with
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: the topic that is sweeping sports radio across countries right
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: now in England specifically, did Argentina win or did England lose?
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Because I've I think it's without question England lost. England
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: goes up one nail with Anthony Gordon's goal and Thomas
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: tucle just goes into retreat park, the bus mode for
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: thirty plus minutes against a team with Leo Messi, where
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: it's like, Okay, let's sub off all our attackers, let's
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: sub on more defenders, and what we're gonna do is
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: just give Argentina the ball. A Messi led attack to
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: just pepper our box for thirty plus minutes, where the
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: average possession between Anthony Gordon's opener and Martinez winner from
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: the fifty fifth minute to the ninety second minute, Argentina
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: had possession for eighty eight percent of the match.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: That's where I would argue Argentina won it because England
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: could have parked the bus against a lot of teams,
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: against a lot of teams and been successful. They screwed
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: up against Messi, even that first goal that Messi set
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: up Anderson screwed up. Why because of the presence of Messi.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: He went to go another defender at Messi, leaving a
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: dude wide open for what was a difficult shot from distance,
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: but he made it. And that is not something that
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: might happen if that, you know, attacking midfielder or that
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: number ten had been wearing a different jersey. And so
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: it's just I find it funny because you still have
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: those guys out there that are absolute superstars for England
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: and you should be able to counter. You should be
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: able to do something when you defend, and not only
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: have twelve percent of possessions and not only complete like
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: what single figure maybe double figure passes barely in the
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: second half. So it's just yeah, if I'm on a
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: round the horn, I say, I always I tend to
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: credit the winners instead of, you know, blaming the losers.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: And this one, like the precision of that pass from
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: Messi for the second goal.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: It was amazainst an English.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Team that brought in their six foot seven dude, and
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: it's like they won with a headers.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: It's absolutely insane. Yes, with all that said, and it
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: was well said, Lynn lost that game, you think so, stude.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: They had all the momentum in the world once they
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: scored that goal, and the second they scored they just
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: retreated like like a little turtle, going back into their shell.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: I have this stat too, England's number of accurate passes
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: against Argentina in the eighteen minute stretch from sixty six
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: minute to the eighty fourth minute. Anybody want to guess
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: how many accurate passes England completed?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Give me the times again. I want to hear that again.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: The sixty six five and eighty four four to two,
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: So it was an eighteen minute and thirty seven second stretch.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: How many accurate passes did England?
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Completely accurate passes? I like that stat ap, I mean
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: how about that I'm accurate twosses. It should be a
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: quarterback stat accurate passes.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I think that's just what completion percentage is.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm not certain because sometimes a god just makes
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: a great grab and it's not accurate at all, and
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the quarterback at all the credit and the money. You
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, I'm going to guess zero.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: No, I mean is he was right?
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: It was two passes and both of the accurate passes
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: were between it and gets.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: That that's the level of quarterbacking play that you had
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: for England. Both of the accurate passes were between the
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and the center back Johnstones. Where in
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: a semi final match when the teams are as evenly
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: matched as England and Argentina should be on paper, to
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: go an almost twenty minute stretch where you're completing two
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: passes is about as bad as it gets. That's why
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: That's why I think today in England, when you turn
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: on Liverpool Radio today in your car, England lost.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: They should have won, right, Yeah, they.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: Have that reputation, right, they have the reputation of choking
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: when it matters most In the World Cup it's been,
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: you know, a million years since they've won it.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I was excited.
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: I thought we were going to get a tailor foreign
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: radio show again, like during the World Baseball Classic and
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: Italy work on that.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: The problem with that is I didn't mind doing a
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Italian accent because I'm Italian. I am seven percent English,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: so theoretically I could get away with doing an English accent.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: Also, I'm gonna go ahead and say that the world
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: is okay with British people being offended, like it's okay
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: to mock their accent.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I think that's okay.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: They've run the world for so long the English that
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: it's okay. If he just mocked the accent.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: A little bit, I didn't care, So you're gonna do this.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I mocked them, and they deserve to be mocked. I mean,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: they lost the game. They let it get away. If
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: they had it, they had Argentina, they could have ended Messis,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: they could have ended Messi's on World Cup and they
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: and they let it get away and extend Harry Kanes,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: by the way, but I guess it's extended anyway because
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: he plays in the third place game in Miami, which
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: is patently absurd. That game should be played in selcaucas.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: Also, that game should not count toward the goal stats
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: because if Embape just goes out there in a meaningless
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: game and scores four goals, that counts for the what
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: is it the golden ball, right? The boot, the boot, boot,
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: the golden boot. Excuse me, but anyway, I thought, I
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: don't know if you guys saw, but like, what is
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: it about soccer that they just allow this silly like jabbing?
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: I guess it's kind of like hockey, right where they
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: just allow people to just hit each other all the time,
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: because like Jude Bellingham after the game, just smacking that
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: one Argentinian player on the back of the head, like
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: what are we doing? Like you already lost and now
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: you're going to be more of a sword loser.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: What the hell did that guy say to you? Who knows? Listen,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I'm tired of soccer. I gotta be honest with you
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: really now. The whole thing is acting. It's made up.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I mean the referees it says plus nine. You know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: when we get to the ninetieth minute, at ninety nine minutes,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I want the game to be over in one hundred
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and four minutes. We're still playing soccer and it's boring.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I mean enough, Jesus Weird, come full circle, welcome back.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I'm in this where this sucks again. I can't believe
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: he called we have the greatest final in the history
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: of the world.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Come per apps, he's gotten this far.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: It's it's like leading leading the horse all the way
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: to the water, and then the horse is looking at
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: the water and saying, you know what, Actually, I just
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: walked all these miles. I'm not really that thirsty right now.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Before before this grade of a final.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was so excited for it, and then I
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: saw it, I drank it and it was you know.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: But it's like, you know, is he's asking a question
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: about Bellingham after the game. The entire thing feels like
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: an acting job. It feels like they're just begging for
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: calls the entire time. There were no rules. Everyone is,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: including FIFA, is making this stuff up, whether it's the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: red card with us, whether it's in games stuff with
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the calls, with the time, it's unbelievable. I was praying,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: praying that England would score a goal after the ninth,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: ninth minute, because can you imagine sports radio in Argentina today,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: if they had scored one hundred and second minute and
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: it said plus nine in your television the entire time,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, that would be a show. Oh my god.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I don't like it. Area, That's all I'm telling you.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I don't like things that are made up as we
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: come along. Hey says plus nine, But I'll make it
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: plus thirteen. Why because I feel like it.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Do every the end of every game. Anthony we were
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: watching and Anthony's like, man, this should blow the whistle.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: It says right there, plus nine. What's ninety plus nine?
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: It's ninety nine. It says an hour plus And I'm like,
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: it's got some time in his back pocket.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: He's just holding on to it. Yeah, but he shouldn't.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: That's my point.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: I was really hoping that this World Cup would sweep
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: stud goots up in soccer hysteria. Yeah, for a moment,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: and then the USA team came crashing out. And ever
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: since the USA team came crashing out, he's been looking
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: for his way off this boat.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: I was hoping that Stu Gotts would join me and
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: picking an EPL team and the support an EPL team,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: and then we're doing god bless football in Saturday mornings.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you feel free to do it. I'm down.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I just won't be there.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Dexter Fowler try to convince us to be borne with
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: guys in Lake Tahoe.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: He did, Taylor, I am telling you, I've come around
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: to the game. I see the World Cup. I see
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: it as a great event. I see the importance of
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the World Cup. I understand. It's not that I dislike soccer.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I don't like when we don't have a set amount
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: of time for a game and we're trusting a referee
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: and an organization in FIFA to get this right. That's
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: all I'm saying. That's that's it. That's the only thing
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: that bothers me about the game. I'm okay with the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: low scoring. Goals mean more in that sport. Scoring means
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: more than in that sport than just about any other sport.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I get the sport. I understand it. I like it
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: more than I used to. But can we stop acting
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and stop making up the rules and the time as
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: we go along? That's all I'm asking.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: And also on the topic of stopping things in stock
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: in soccer, stop me. If you heard this before, there's
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: a there's a US wonder kid that's starting to get
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: a lot of hype.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Kevin Sullivan, I don't want to hear about that.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, first time.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: Let me know when there's about four or five of them,
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: because that's when we'll actually have a chance to compete
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: with anybody else. By the way, does anybody think that
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: Argentina is actually gonna win this thing on Sunday? Because
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: it is scary how good Spain has looked, and even
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: though Argentina scored two or more in thirteen consecutive World
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: Cup matches, the Spain team's giving up what a gol?
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, but the world wants Messi to win, right?
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Is that fair? Outside of Spain, everyone wants Messi right.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: I do know Lemina mal is kind of a superhero
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: these days. This guy is pretty popular.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: So to lift a cup on FanDuel, Spain is the
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: favorite minus one fifty, Argentina is plus one thirty. But again,
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: this is kind of how many times do you have
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: to learn this lesson? If you keep betting against Argentina
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: and you keep betting against Leo Messi this again. I
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: I hate to drop team of Destiny, but this is
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: starting to feel like a team of Destiny.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: They feel like the I know they're not the most
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: tradition rich or you know, team of this World Cup.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: Obviously you've got Brazil's one more. You know, you've got
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: countries that have won as many. But they just feel
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: like they have such a rich tradition. They feel like
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: they have the best tradition, not just the uniforms. You've
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: got Maridona, You've got three World Cups, You've got the
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: greatest of all time. They just feel like it just
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: means more to them.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: And I don't know, I.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: Just it feels like not necessarily team of destiny. But
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: it's one of those other cliches like wanting it more.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: It's just Argentina has that all the time.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: They also have the greatest player to ever play the sport. Yeah.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Once I heard is he say it just means more
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: to them? I love soccer. The second I heard the
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: phrase it just means more, I started thinking about SEC
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: football on Saturdays.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: It does. Oh God, I can't get there soon enough, please, Argentina.
• 22:00

  Speaker 1: Is he has some thoughts here? As we get out
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: of here to go to a more serious topic here.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna get out of the way because I'm
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: terrified of this topic and I'm terrified what's gonna come
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: out of his israelkudy ers his mouth. I'm literally going
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: to back away from the microphone. I might leave. I
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: have a fire I'm playing to catch. I might leave.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Is he here to his own devices? Taylor, let him
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: go as long as he wants. I'm just gonna say
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: her name and then get out of the way. Okay,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: here's your assist, Caitlin Clark.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: I don't think it's as bad as you think it's
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: gonna be.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I'm still here.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: Uh yeah, It's just it's one of those times, right,
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: It's it's a it's a bad time in the calendar,
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: the sports calendar, but pretty damn good time to be
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: a w NBA fan. Like, there's two players in particular
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: that I can't keep my eyes off of, and one
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: of them I did.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I loved her in college.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: The other one I didn't really know her in college.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: But Olivia Miles has been absolutely phenomenal from Minnesota, and
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: Paige Becker's for Dallas is just like so good. I'm
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: telling you right now, she's going to retire as the goat.
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: Like I'm telling you right now, she's that good. And
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: yet everybody is so hyper focused on Caitlyn Clark that
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: it's frustrating. Right look at her stats. It's not like
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: you know she's she's not even the best guard on
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: her team right now. But then you know, I'm not
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: going into all the congress stuff. I'm not going into
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: all the race stuff. I'm just going into on the
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: court stuffs too, So don't get too scared about that.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: You take it wherever you want to go, buddy, I'm
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: just teasing, calmbing your nerves a little bit.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: But she's just so unlikable on the she's she's just
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: so unlikable, and she whinds like crazy. Yesterday, Stu, there
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: was a play where she went up for a layup okay,
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: and the defender, a taller woman, was in legal guarding position,
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: and as Caitlyn is going up for a layup, she
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: basically offensive fouls no call and misses the layup, ends up.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: On the ground.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: She was complaining that she got fouled in the leg,
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: got knead in the thigh and it should have been
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: a foul, and then she complained vehemently after the following
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: play down the court, and then in the post game
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: just said I had a contusion on my leg and
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: had to play the whole game with that. You can't
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: miss that call, Stu. If you watch the replay, the
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: defender was in legal position. The only reason her knee
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: contacts Caitlin's is.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Because she's taller. She's taller, so her.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Knee contacts Caitlin's thigh, but again, legal guarding position, just
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: standing there, and she just whinds about it the whole
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: entire time. And it's just who do you think you are? Like,
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: you think they're here to protect you. I mean Congress
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: is already I know I said, I wouldn't say Congress
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: is already trying to protect you. You think the whole league
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: is there to protect you. Look at the replay, we
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: all have eyes. And for you to just be so
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: whiny about it and so unlikable, it's just like, good God,
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: I don't like it. And then of course it's where
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: all the attention goes. It's where all the attention goes,
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: even though she's not the best player in the league.
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: It's like if everybody was obsessed with and I hate
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: to do this to him, Trey Young, and every time
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: you turned down Sports Center, like Lebron did this and
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: Steff did this. But Trey Young is leading your highlights
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: because he's you know, I don't know, the most liked play.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: It's just so annoying. And it'd be one thing if
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: she was like a player you can't take your eyes off.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: But that shit has sailed. Her game is just not
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: that exciting anymore. And she is, like I said, bad defender,
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: a lot of offensive fouls, super whiny. It's just get them,
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: just stop it, like it just drives me crazy.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but those Charlie horses, have you ever gotten one?
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Because that's all the time. Yeah, I mean, they hurt.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: They'll put you in a foul mood for a long time.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: It will stop crying to the refs. It wasn't a foul.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: Look look up at the replay.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Look up at the replay. There's nothing I understand but
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: lose her. But you agree she did take a knee
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: to the thigh. Whether it's a foul or not doesn't matter, right,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm just trying to explain. I'm trying to
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: explain how she was behaving because those trolley horses. They
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: will stay with you for a lot. They hurt, that's
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: all I'm saying.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: They hurt, and it's still not a foul. Like you
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: if your answer to oh my leg hurts is the
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: referee should protect me.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a foul.
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: Go watch the play. It's you almost have to like
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: stare every frame to see when that contact happens. It's
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: not everybody thinks she's talking about the contact up here
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: when she says you got to call that foul. That's
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: how sort of nondescript that contact was down low. It's
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: just so aggravating. And then you got loud mouths defending
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: her and saying that she should play in another country
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: because she's not appreciated here. Get out of here, like
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: this country is what made her.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: So where are we at in the face of the
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: w NBA conversation because I saw Korea Abdul Jabbar weighing
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: in where he said it's disrespectful for Caitlin Clark to
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: be the face of the WNBA because of those who
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: paved the way.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: We need a face of the league.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: I think right now, to Mikey's point, in the face
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: of the face of the League of the NBA, probably
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Jalen Bronson. If if I had to pick a face
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: of the NBA, but who is the face of.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: The W Wilson, it should be w Wilson, multiple time MVP,
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: multiple time champion. She is just the queen of the
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: league and most respected player. Probably, I would say in
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: the feast of Colliers up there. I don't think she's
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: as well known, but I think in terms of respect
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: within the league, I'd say she's up there. Maybe Brianna
• 28:38

• 28:56
  Speaker 4: used to be like January first, when the calendar year
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: turned over, I would find out when the SPS were
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: and I was going to circle on my calendar. It
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: was gonna be one of the first things I circled
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: on my calendar. I used to love the s used
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: to have a moment.

  Speaker 5: in sports. I hate it, absolutely hate it. It's so stupid,
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: so contrived. I just I don't like it.

• 29:36
  Speaker 4: they were talking about what team was going to win
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Best Team and they asked Karl Anthony Towns if you
• 29:42
