- 1:24Speaker 3: thank you appreciate that. Yeah, that's I stuck the landing.
- 1:29Speaker 3: I'm not even gonna try to attempt that again. That's
- 1:31Speaker 3: just too much going on right there. But I came
- 1:33Speaker 3: to a realization, Okay, I came to a realization after
- 1:39Speaker 3: this group stage that Team USA one. Team USA one
- 1:42Speaker 3: their group. Great shout out to them, and the lot
- 1:46Speaker 3: knockout stage begins for them on Wednesday, eight pm Eastern
- 1:49Speaker 3: against Bosnia and h I'll just name it H from
- 1:53Speaker 3: now on. I tried it once, got it no more.
- 1:57Speaker 3: I came to the realization that I am rooting against
- 2:01Speaker 3: Team USA. I actually hope Team USA gets throttled. If
- 2:05Speaker 3: they lose twenty six to nil, I would be a happy,
- 2:08Speaker 3: happy man. I'd be un American of you. You might
- 2:12Speaker 3: but after this, after this take I'm about to lay
- 2:15Speaker 3: out for you, Lorena, you might say I've reconsidered, or
- 2:22Speaker 3: or you might say, ah, I at least understand where
- 2:26Speaker 3: you're coming from. You know, I don't know. I want
- 2:28Speaker 3: to put words in your mouth. You might at the
- 2:30Speaker 3: end of this say you know what, Blake Lively is
- 2:32Speaker 3: hotter than Anne Hathaway. I don't know what you're gonna say, right, likely, Okay,
- 2:39Speaker 3: that's the one. There's no pushback about Team USA. You're like,
- 2:42Speaker 3: you know, maybe bring up a point I hadn't considered.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Anne Hathaway. Nope, not gonna happen. Probably not gonna happen. Unlikely. Okay,
- 2:48Speaker 3: So here's why, here's why I'm rooting against Team US. Say,
- 2:53Speaker 3: first things first, we start with the disclaimers, all right,
- 2:57Speaker 3: and we'll get to the reasons. I have three hard
- 3:00Speaker 3: hitting reasons with the pillars of my distain for Team
- 3:04Speaker 3: USA and men's national team soccer. I love America. I
- 3:11Speaker 3: love the United States of America. There has nothing to
- 3:14Speaker 3: do against the country. I'm watching these games and I'm
- 3:17Speaker 3: thinking about the people that I know. I've got friends,
- 3:20Speaker 3: I might have girls that I've dated from these countries.
- 3:23Speaker 3: They are living and dying with these moments. You know.
- 3:26Speaker 3: I was just watching Mexico. They're at home at Mexico City,
- 3:31Speaker 3: and they win their game. They played great, they're actually
- 3:34Speaker 3: they've had four clean sheets. They've pitched shutouts in all
- 3:39Speaker 3: four games, all three in the group stage. Also on
- 3:43Speaker 3: Tuesday night when they won their game to nil, and
- 3:47Speaker 3: I'm just watching the crowd and I'm like, man, these
- 3:49Speaker 3: people are going crazy. They're just loving every second. Mexico
- 3:53Speaker 3: beat Ecuador on Tuesday. And so the last girl I dated,
- 3:58Speaker 3: you'll say she's from Mexico City. I know she's going nuts,
- 4:02Speaker 3: and I'm like, that's cool for them. I don't feel
- 4:05Speaker 3: the same way, you know, Like I know a couple
- 4:08Speaker 3: of Colombian girls, just friends of mine in Vegas. They're
- 4:11Speaker 3: going crazy for Colombia. I date a Brazilian girl, she
- 4:15Speaker 3: lives in La I still stay in contact with her.
- 4:17Speaker 3: Every time Brazil wins, I'll send her some Brazilian flags
- 4:20Speaker 3: with soccer ball emojis. She's like, I know, it's amazing.
- 4:23Speaker 3: She loves it going crazy. I don't feel like that
- 4:25Speaker 3: against Team USA. About Team USA, and that doesn't make
- 4:29Speaker 3: me I don't know, an American or not patriotic. It
- 4:33Speaker 3: doesn't mean any of those things. It just means I
- 4:36Speaker 3: don't like this team, and I also don't like the
- 4:40Speaker 3: potential consequences. So we go piece by piece. Right here,
- 4:43Speaker 3: Reason number one, I'm rooting against Team USA. I don't
- 4:47Speaker 3: like the manager, I don't like Mauricio Pochettino for a
- 4:52Speaker 3: couple of reasons. One, he's got a ridiculous theory that
- 4:57Speaker 3: US soccer players are complacent because we don't have relegation
- 5:01Speaker 3: in this country. That's his theory. He's like, man, why
- 5:06Speaker 3: do these guys seem so complacent. He's like, you know what,
- 5:09Speaker 3: I think I got a theory about that. I think
- 5:10Speaker 3: it's because we don't have relegation. You look at all
- 5:14Speaker 3: these other countries and you play overseas, you got relegation.
- 5:18Speaker 3: If you lose the most, you get relegated, you get
- 5:21Speaker 3: knocked down to another lower league. You're not in the
- 5:24Speaker 3: top upper echelon league anymore. And he's like, that's not
- 5:28Speaker 3: what happens here in the United States. So it's just
- 5:32Speaker 3: like a shoulder shrug. If you lose, they fire the coach.
- 5:34Speaker 3: But what do you care? That was his theory. It's
- 5:36Speaker 3: such a dumb theory. I'm like, hey, moron, our best
- 5:40Speaker 3: athletes don't play soccer. Okay, that's why the US has
- 5:45Speaker 3: sucked forever in US men's national soccer. That's what it is.
- 5:51Speaker 3: It's really that simple. It's not about a lack of relegation.
- 5:54Speaker 3: We have relegation in anything, College football, NFL, NBA, go down.
- 5:59Speaker 3: We got relegation in nothing. Does that mean everybody's just
- 6:03Speaker 3: going through the motions. Everybody's complacent. Everybody's like, we missed
- 6:07Speaker 3: the playoffs this year. Who cares? We're not relegated. It's
- 6:10Speaker 3: all good. Yeah, it's not like that. It's just such
- 6:14Speaker 3: a dumb take. It's bad. It's a sucky theory right there.
- 6:18Speaker 3: And also, his other theory was America American sports reward losing.
- 6:26Speaker 3: It's his other theory right there. It's another awful take.
- 6:31Speaker 3: Awful take by Mauricio. American sports does not reward losing.
- 6:36Speaker 3: You get far more negativity than positivity. The one thing
- 6:42Speaker 3: that is rewarded is you get a high draft pick.
- 6:45Speaker 3: That's the one thing. Nothing else like, look at the
- 6:50Speaker 3: onslaught of negativity if you lose. Wemby just lost in
- 6:55Speaker 3: the finals to the Knicks. Now, I know that he's
- 6:59Speaker 3: not he's from France, right, but he plays in American sport.
- 7:03Speaker 3: So this does work. Did Wemby get like rose petals
- 7:07Speaker 3: after losing? I thought we were reward losers, right. Wemby
- 7:11Speaker 3: was universally clowned. The entire basketball world was talking trash
- 7:18Speaker 3: about Wemby. What was his reward for losing. There's no
- 7:23Speaker 3: reward whatsoever. This take that we ought. We just reward
- 7:27Speaker 3: losing in this country. It's one of the dumbest things
- 7:30Speaker 3: I've ever heard. Look at the rewards for winning. Think
- 7:33Speaker 3: about the NBA finals the last few years. Jokic, he
- 7:37Speaker 3: went to title with the Nuggets at the time, bouquets,
- 7:42Speaker 3: flowers galore for Joker and deservedly so. Best player in
- 7:47Speaker 3: the world another MVP. Wow, look at this guy, maybe
- 7:50Speaker 3: the best offensive player as a big man in the
- 7:53Speaker 3: history of the NBA. Points, assists, rebounds, great distributor, not
- 7:59Speaker 3: great on defense, but offensively unbelievable. Yannis. Fortunately, when he
- 8:04Speaker 3: took down Breeze Sons right there, Yannis, when he fell
- 8:08Speaker 3: down and looked like he injured his knees, I thought
- 8:10Speaker 3: he was done. And all of a sudden, he was
- 8:12Speaker 3: a maniac going crazy against the Suns. Bucks win a title.
- 8:18Speaker 3: He was outstanding, and he got all the accolades, all
- 8:22Speaker 3: the love, all the praise. That's what we do. We
- 8:28Speaker 3: reward winners. We praise you for winning. We talk trash.
- 8:32Speaker 3: If you can't win a championship, it's like, oh, you
- 8:35Speaker 3: can't you can't win the big game. You can't win
- 8:37Speaker 3: the big one. Charles Barkley never won a championship and
- 8:40Speaker 3: is reminded of that on every other episode of Inside
- 8:43Speaker 3: the NBA, like they're constantly throwing it in his face.
- 8:47Speaker 3: Never want a ring, never want a ring. They're capitol
- 8:49Speaker 3: ie commercials of him never winning a ring. Like you're released,
- 8:53Speaker 3: you're traded, You're called a loser, you're doubted, you're branded
- 8:56Speaker 3: as someone who can't win a championship. Airs far more
- 9:00Speaker 3: negativity toward losing than positivity. So this idea that American
- 9:05Speaker 3: sports rewards losing is brain dead. So I don't like Mauricio.
- 9:11Speaker 3: That's reason number one I'm rooting against Team USA against
- 9:13Speaker 3: Bosnia and this other thing where he just said US
- 9:18Speaker 3: soccer players are complacent because there isn't relegation in this country.
- 9:23Speaker 3: And also the American sports reward losing. That that's his theory.
- 9:27Speaker 3: Right now, we're just kind of going through the motions whatever.
- 9:30Speaker 3: Keep that in mind as we bring it to the
- 9:32Speaker 3: here and now. After a Team USA lost to Turkey
- 9:36Speaker 3: A last week, Mauricio didn't like some of the questions.
- 9:41Speaker 3: The questions weren't crushing Team USA They weren't like, man,
- 9:45Speaker 3: why does your team suck all of a sudden, Mauricio,
- 9:47Speaker 3: what's up with that? It was just like, hey, what
- 9:50Speaker 3: does this loss mean going forward for Team USA? That's
- 9:54Speaker 3: the gist of it. Nothing scathing. Here's what Mauricio had
- 9:57Speaker 3: to say.
- 10:00Speaker 4: Was to finish first, and we are first. For you,
- 10:04Speaker 4: not to say congratulations that we want the group That
- 10:08Speaker 4: is a little bit sad, but only only that I
- 10:13Speaker 4: need to remember you and everyone that we won the group.
- 10:16Speaker 5: So real ice, we won.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Okay, So this to me is the hilarious twist. After
- 10:22Speaker 3: Team USA lost to Turkey the final game of the
- 10:25Speaker 3: group stage, it really didn't matter. Team USA already won
- 10:29Speaker 3: the group. They didn't have to win that game. They
- 10:32Speaker 3: rested nine of their starters, right, so they didn't need
- 10:35Speaker 3: to win the game. But our boy, Mauricio, he was asked,
- 10:39Speaker 3: you know, various questions about the loss. He couldn't take
- 10:41Speaker 3: the heat. He could not take the heat, you know,
- 10:45Speaker 3: and Mauricio just, you know, it's pretty sad that you're really, dude,
- 10:50Speaker 3: you're gonna call our our athletes, you know, the US
- 10:54Speaker 3: soccer players complacent. We wereward losing. You're gonna point the
- 10:59Speaker 3: finger at US and you can't take the heat after
- 11:02Speaker 3: one loss? Are you kidding right now? This dude is
- 11:05Speaker 3: soft soft soft. I don't like Mauricio at all. Reason
- 11:11Speaker 3: number one, I'm rooting against Team USA. Reason number two
- 11:16Speaker 3: the conversation. The conversation drives me crazy. You might be like, well,
- 11:21Speaker 3: what conversation you talking about, Brian, Like what were we
- 11:25Speaker 3: talking about? Like, you know, Sammy Hagar against David Lee Roth. No, No,
- 11:31Speaker 3: the conversation about the US men's national team, especially when
- 11:35Speaker 3: they won two games in a row in the group stages.
- 11:38Speaker 3: The conversation was could the US win it all? And
- 11:42Speaker 3: the reply from some was, yeah, the US could win
- 11:47Speaker 3: it all? And I'm looking at that and I'm like,
- 11:49Speaker 3: what are we talking about right here? Can we go
- 11:52Speaker 3: down the laundry list of reasons why Team USA can't
- 11:55Speaker 3: win it all? Can't c a n apostrophe t can't
- 12:00Speaker 3: cannot z annot if you like that was spelling today
- 12:05Speaker 3: filling in for Big Ben Meller. Team USA won two
- 12:09Speaker 3: consecutive games in the World Cup this year for the
- 12:12Speaker 3: first time since nineteen thirty. Okay, as almost a century
- 12:19Speaker 3: two games in a row. They gotta win five to
- 12:23Speaker 3: win it all. Against the best of the best. Meanwhile,
- 12:28Speaker 3: keep this in mind his way as well. The US
- 12:31Speaker 3: men's national team has lost ten straight games against European teams.
- 12:35Speaker 3: They've lost ten straight. They have a twelve match winless
- 12:39Speaker 3: streak against European teams. The last time they beat a
- 12:43Speaker 3: European team it was Bosnia and h our friends that
- 12:48Speaker 3: were facing on Wednesday. Last time they beat him was
- 12:51Speaker 3: a one nothing friendly back in December of twenty twenty one.
- 12:55Speaker 3: So last time team USA beat a European squad and
- 12:59Speaker 3: we're just gonna waltz through this year's World Cup. Okay, okay,
- 13:03Speaker 3: So the conversation is nauseating to me. It'd be like
- 13:06Speaker 3: this the best comparison I can throw at you. It
- 13:10Speaker 3: would be like a musical discussion, right, we have a
- 13:15Speaker 3: round table discussion about music, and the question is thrown
- 13:20Speaker 3: out there, Hey, is uh is Green Day the best
- 13:22Speaker 3: band of all time? And they're really kicking this around.
- 13:26Speaker 3: There's some people like, you know, yeah, yeah, they could
- 13:31Speaker 3: be the best band of all time, and it's like,
- 13:34Speaker 3: what what what are we talking? Green Day? Green Day
- 13:39Speaker 3: the best of us? We got the Stones, so you
- 13:42Speaker 3: have the Beatle, we got legendary bands. Green Day, Get
- 13:47Speaker 3: out of here. But that's how I feel about Team
- 13:49Speaker 3: USA and this conversation. Could they win it all? Yeah,
- 13:53Speaker 3: they could. Get the hell out of here. Man, it's
- 13:57Speaker 3: a waste of time. The conversation drives me crazy. It's
- 14:02Speaker 3: just like what we saw from the Spurs. Really, it's
- 14:05Speaker 3: a legitimate comparison. You gotta crawl before you walk. You
- 14:09Speaker 3: gotta walk before you can run. Team USA Men's national
- 14:14Speaker 3: team soccer they are in the crawling stage right now.
- 14:19Speaker 3: They're gonna go from crawling to sprinting not happening. You
- 14:24Speaker 3: gotta take steps toward that. That's how it goes.
- 14:27Speaker 1: Man.
- 14:28Speaker 3: They're not winning five in a row. Shut up anybody
- 14:31Speaker 3: who's saying they could. No, no, can't. So I'm not
- 14:35Speaker 3: against the country, I'm against the conversation. That conversation drives
- 14:40Speaker 3: me crazy. That would be like saying, Hey, could the
- 14:44Speaker 3: New York Giants win a Super Bowl this season? It's
- 14:47Speaker 3: like this season and you have legitimate things to point to. Hey,
- 14:49Speaker 3: John Harpa is there right now? You got a real
- 14:51Speaker 3: head coach? Hey, Jackson Dart show some promises a young quarterback?
- 14:55Speaker 3: What if this? What if that? What if?
- 14:56Speaker 1: What if?
- 14:57Speaker 2: What?
- 14:57Speaker 1: Baby?
- 14:57Speaker 3: Maybe you talk yourself into yeah, a couple of legitimate
- 15:00Speaker 3: things to point toward, and you start talking yourself into
- 15:03Speaker 3: something where it's like, yet, No, they're not gonna win
- 15:06Speaker 3: a super Bowl this season. Maybe they build, maybe they
- 15:10Speaker 3: have some success, maybe they make it to the playoffs,
- 15:12Speaker 3: maybe they win a playoff game, but winning it all, no,
- 15:16Speaker 3: stop it. That's how I feel about Team USA. Last thing,
- 15:19Speaker 3: reason number three, I'm rooting against US. I personally some
- 15:25Speaker 3: might agree with this. I don't want to lose any
- 15:30Speaker 3: of our best athletes to soccer. I don't want to
- 15:33Speaker 3: lose one. If Team USA, the men's national team is
- 15:38Speaker 3: like Brian, Let's say I'm the gatekeeper of all the
- 15:41Speaker 3: best athletes you know, and they're like, hey, how about
- 15:46Speaker 3: CANUI get our hands on that slot receiver? Over just
- 15:48Speaker 3: one slot receiver for Team USA the national can't we
- 15:53Speaker 3: I'd be like, no, no, and they hit me with something.
- 15:58Speaker 3: How about just a shooting guard? Can we have one
- 16:02Speaker 3: shooting guard? Can we have like the Devin Booker type?
- 16:06Speaker 3: Can we Can you have him on the US men's
- 16:08Speaker 3: national team? No, you can't have him. You can't have anybody.
- 16:12Speaker 3: How about that nothing you get nothing? You get none
- 16:14Speaker 3: of our best athletes. That's so, I don't want Team
- 16:18Speaker 3: USA to have this brilliant, deep run in the World
- 16:24Speaker 3: Cup that captures the hearts and minds of the nation,
- 16:28Speaker 3: and you would, you would have a ripple effect. You
- 16:31Speaker 3: absolutely would. As much as I don't want it to happen,
- 16:35Speaker 3: it would, it would begin to happen. You would have
- 16:38Speaker 3: young boys and girls like, man, I want to play soccer.
- 16:42Speaker 3: You have young boys like yeah, I don't. I don't
- 16:44Speaker 3: really want to get my head kicked in playing in
- 16:46Speaker 3: the NFL. I want to play soccer. You know, maybe
- 16:51Speaker 3: the NBA is not for me. Maybe I gotta I
- 16:53Speaker 3: gotta dive into the soccer thing, right. I don't want
- 16:56Speaker 3: that to happen, So I don't want to take any
- 16:58Speaker 3: chances over here. That's just maybe you want your NFL
- 17:01Speaker 3: and NBA diluted a little bit year after year. I don't.
- 17:04Speaker 3: I don't, not me, not me personally. So yeah, go Bosnia.
- 17:09Speaker 3: Long story short, That's where I'm at right here for THO.
- 17:13Speaker 3: Those are my three main reasons I don't like Mauricio.
- 17:17Speaker 3: And he's got some idiotic theories about sports in this
- 17:20Speaker 3: country and how Americans reward losing. It's ridiculous. I don't
- 17:28Speaker 3: like the converse that could Team USA you win it out?
- 17:30Speaker 3: Yeah they could shut up. They can't. They're incapable. They're
- 17:34Speaker 3: not ready yet, not ready yet. And reason number three,
- 17:40Speaker 3: I don't want to lose any of our best athletes
- 17:42Speaker 3: to soccer. That's just me. Some would disagree, someonet to
- 17:45Speaker 3: see who has spread the wealth. They'd love Team USA
- 17:48Speaker 3: to be awesome in soccer. There plenty of people listening
- 17:50Speaker 3: that would trade in a heartbeat Team USA being awesome
- 17:54Speaker 3: in men's soccer compared to the NFL just swimming in talent.
- 18:00Speaker 3: That's them, not me, not me. I don't want to
- 18:03Speaker 3: lose anybody. So for all those reasons, go Bosnia. That's
- 18:08Speaker 3: what I say. Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
- 18:11Speaker 3: is your phone number. I'm sure some people want to
- 18:12Speaker 3: check in, I don't know on that or something else.
- 18:15Speaker 3: We got to have a breakdown of Brie has found
- 18:20Speaker 3: her strengths and weaknesses as a gym goer. I feel
- 18:24Speaker 3: like that's very relevant. And I have found a group
- 18:30Speaker 3: of people I highly dislike at the gym, highly dislike.
- 18:35Speaker 3: So we'll get to both of those things. We'll have
- 18:37Speaker 3: some fun over here, absolutely have some fun. For over
- 18:40Speaker 3: forty years, tirek has been helping some helping customers find
- 18:43Speaker 3: the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
- 18:45Speaker 3: ship fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection
- 18:48Speaker 3: with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tireraq dot com.
- 18:52Speaker 3: The way tire buying should be alrighty, we'll get to
- 18:59Speaker 3: the militia right aroun on the corner. Brie right around
- 19:01Speaker 3: the corner. I also call her Brioche. I do like
- 19:04Speaker 3: that nickname. She suggested. I put my PBNJ on some
- 19:07Speaker 3: Brioche bread. Wasn't a huge fan. Too bretty for me personally.
- 19:14Speaker 3: And I don't know if I bought the wrong Brioche
- 19:16Speaker 3: but had a little a little kick to it. I
- 19:19Speaker 3: don't know, like a little cinnamon glazer. I don't know.
- 19:21Speaker 3: Maybe I've brought the wrong stuff. I'm not sure what
- 19:23Speaker 3: happened right there, But we'll have some fun right around

- 22:00Speaker 2: No, I mean, I get it. It's kind of like
- 22:02Speaker 2: people give me a lot of slack because I don't
- 22:04Speaker 2: have like other than the Dodgers, I don't really root
- 22:06Speaker 2: for any other LA teams, So I get like, you know,
- 22:10Speaker 2: you kind of have your feelings of why you don't
- 22:12Speaker 2: root for what you really should be rooting for. So
- 22:16Speaker 2: even though I live in Los Angeles, I could give
- 22:18Speaker 2: two s's about the Clippers or the Lakers, and like
- 22:22Speaker 2: you live in LA. Okay, well you're you know you
- 22:24Speaker 2: you're an American citizen and you have.
- 22:26Speaker 3: Your reasons on why.
- 22:27Speaker 2: So I yeah, I definitely I can understand it now
- 22:31Speaker 2: better than before you gave your reasons.
- 22:33Speaker 3: So sure enough.
- 22:34Speaker 2: Sure I don't agree with them, but I believe I understand.
- 22:37Speaker 3: Okay, you understand, but still disagree whole art.
- 22:43Speaker 2: I mean, you know, honestly, and I only have so
- 22:46Speaker 2: much skin in the World Cup anyway, Like Germany is
- 22:48Speaker 2: out and I was rooting for them because I've been
- 22:50Speaker 2: in love with the goalie since I was like fifteen.
- 22:52Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait a minute, So you're rooting for Germany?
- 22:56Speaker 3: You giving me Ai It doesn't matter now, who cares?
- 23:00Speaker 3: Now they're unbelieved. The truth comes out, breathe, the truth
- 23:04Speaker 3: comes out Holy.
- 23:05Speaker 2: No matter, because Germany is eliminated. So it's it's a
- 23:08Speaker 2: mood point now, right, Well I.
- 23:11Speaker 3: Guess now, I guess. But you were rooting for Germany
- 23:14Speaker 3: more than the US.
- 23:15Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I was in love with the goalie and
- 23:16Speaker 2: I've been in love with them since I was like
- 23:18Speaker 2: it's been like twenty years, so you know, loyal.
- 23:21Speaker 3: What if the German goalie also listened to three oh three.
- 23:26Speaker 2: Oh my god, soulmate, there it is there.
- 23:29Speaker 3: It is match made in heaven right there? Okay, all right,
- 23:33Speaker 3: let's get out to the phones here, all right, we're

- 24:16Speaker 3: we lost him. No, this is right where we want him. Yeah,
- 24:22Speaker 3: this happens every now and then. It's okay, very soothing.
- 24:28Speaker 3: It kind of is that was a long pause.
- 24:33Speaker 8: Yes, sleep opening and give him a minute.
- 24:42Speaker 3: What what other sound does that remind you of? Hold on,
- 24:56Speaker 3: give it a second. All right, he's warming back up.
- 25:05Speaker 2: It's kind of like a like a car that is
- 25:08Speaker 2: like getting.
- 25:09Speaker 3: Revved, okay, car getting reved like.
- 25:13Speaker 8: Hurrying, hurrying.
- 25:19Speaker 3: It kind of reminds me of wind. It kind of
- 25:23Speaker 3: reminds me of someone just farting. Really, there are certain
- 25:26Speaker 3: snores where it just sounds like that. Right then, that
- 25:31Speaker 3: sounded like I don't know that's what I hear. We'll
- 25:35Speaker 3: go with Brett, We'll go with the kiddie cat I liked.
- 25:41Speaker 3: All right, let me uh, we can check back on

- 25:51Speaker 2: Hey, right.
- 25:53Speaker 5: Here, I'm glad you heard. Everything's going doing good. And
- 25:56Speaker 5: listen to your show on Sunday. It could drop on that.
- 25:59Speaker 5: But here we're gonna be doing the work up picks.
- 26:02Speaker 5: Perfect guy. I'm on a hot streak last night. I
- 26:05Speaker 5: went three and on the picks on Mexico.
- 26:07Speaker 3: Right, you fading Team USA, Please tell me you are well.
- 26:11Speaker 5: Well, you'll have some news on that, Okay, Brian, you're
- 26:16Speaker 5: gonna like like you're.
- 26:17Speaker 3: Gonna just wait for that. I like that. It's good,
- 26:19Speaker 3: good radio tactics by you, Poppy. Don't give us that
- 26:22Speaker 3: what we what we need right away? Just you take
- 26:25Speaker 3: your time. He's us into that. I like that. It's fine.
- 26:27Speaker 3: What do you got for us, Poppy?
- 26:29Speaker 5: All right? The first game up, it's gonna be a
- 26:31Speaker 5: nine am. We got England right versus the Republic of Congo?
- 26:36Speaker 5: Is that right, Brian? I can't see the name KNGO right,
- 26:40Speaker 5: keep for sure?
- 26:40Speaker 2: Right?
- 26:41Speaker 5: Yeah, so so on on that game, but go teams.
- 26:45Speaker 5: But you know, England should have dominated against Binam Mop.
- 26:49Speaker 5: But it's okay. They weren't having the good day. They
- 26:52Speaker 5: were a little bit underweather and Congo has been doing
- 26:54Speaker 5: amazing this World Cup. On this one, I see England
- 26:58Speaker 5: winning Brian so I know it's a big money line's
- 27:01Speaker 5: not too good, but that's okay. We're going to do.
- 27:03Speaker 5: We're gonna do a three way parlay on this one.
- 27:07Speaker 3: Okay, all right, So first leg is England, big money
- 27:10Speaker 3: line favorite. We're around like three forty or so minus
- 27:13Speaker 3: three forty ish right around there. Okay, add that to
- 27:16Speaker 3: the parlay. What else we got here.
- 27:17Speaker 5: Poppy, So we're going to add that into the second game.
- 27:20Speaker 5: We're gonna have Belgium. It's going to be coming at Senegal.
- 27:24Speaker 5: So you know, Belgium is a good team that don't
- 27:26Speaker 5: think go Senegal is very strong on their defense, very good,
- 27:30Speaker 5: so they're gonna be playing countertack. But on this one
- 27:32Speaker 5: we're going to be checking Belgium. Let's go with Belgium
- 27:36Speaker 5: on there on. That's a one o'clock game for you.
- 27:38Speaker 3: Okay. I got them at plus one ten, so we
- 27:41Speaker 3: add that to the slip. So far we're at right
- 27:43Speaker 3: now as we speak, plus one seventy four of those
- 27:46Speaker 3: two legs. What are we doing with USA versus Bosnia?
- 27:49Speaker 5: Here and say the best for last Brian. Team USA
- 27:55Speaker 5: is going to be playing at Bosnia. That game's at
- 27:57Speaker 5: five o'clock. They're playing at Levice in the Bay Area
- 28:01Speaker 5: forty nine and fans, Right, I've said it before, the
- 28:03Speaker 5: United States teams, I've seen it. There's a bet United
- 28:06Speaker 5: States soccer team that I've ever seen.
- 28:08Speaker 3: Like what you're saying here, I don't unless there's a curveball.
- 28:11Speaker 3: I don't like this here, I don't like this.
- 28:12Speaker 5: Poppy Okay, And then this is the best team that
- 28:16Speaker 5: I've ever done. They're very good in the offense and defense.
- 28:19Speaker 5: The plank gets posting on positive. We're gonna give them
- 28:21Speaker 5: respect words, dude, They're really good on the Woke Cup.
- 28:24Speaker 5: What they've been doing, you know, Europeans down everything like that.
- 28:27Speaker 5: It seems like you're gonna be a close game. But no,
- 28:30Speaker 5: we're going to go Team USA winning on this one.
- 28:33Speaker 5: And they're gonna look different with police Key hopefully I
- 28:37Speaker 5: say his name right right right?
- 28:39Speaker 3: Politics, Yeah, polifics.
- 28:41Speaker 5: So we're going to add that one that tripack. Then
- 28:44Speaker 5: how's our partly going to be looking at? Now?
- 28:46Speaker 3: Wow? So we're going minus two fifty with the US.
- 28:49Speaker 3: So if we go if we go to extra time,
- 28:51Speaker 3: we're screwed here, Poppy. We got to win in regulation
- 28:53Speaker 3: with all these three you're okay with that?
- 28:56Speaker 5: Well, you can put isn't there a certain way you
- 28:58Speaker 5: can put a bet just winning? And it is that?
- 29:00Speaker 5: How about that you don't feel too compt on that
- 29:03Speaker 5: ninety minutes which I feel comfortable on this or ninety minutes,
- 29:06Speaker 5: we could just put them under in ninety minutes like
- 29:09Speaker 5: them in advancing right, just winning the game.
- 29:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm looking you know good.
- 29:14Speaker 5: The numbers are not going to be good.
- 29:16Speaker 2: That's why.
- 29:16Speaker 3: Yeah, let me see there's a method of victory. No,
- 29:20Speaker 3: you don't want to do that. Both teams to score,
- 29:23Speaker 3: first team to score. There are a million things to
- 29:25Speaker 3: bet on here, Poppy. It's crazy, man, But I know
- 29:28Speaker 3: there's a way that regardless it goes to extra time,
- 29:30Speaker 3: if it goes to PK's whatever happens, doesn't matter. You're
- 29:33Speaker 3: just betting on the US to win. But the payout
- 29:35Speaker 3: would be much less. I'm trying to find it to
- 29:38Speaker 3: get you the exact one. If I scared you off
- 29:40Speaker 3: the USA, I don't want to.
- 29:42Speaker 5: No, No, we're not scared. We'll go in ninety minutes. Team,
- 29:45Speaker 5: you have to say it all the way that we're
- 29:46Speaker 5: going to go ninety minutes on all these games because
- 29:48Speaker 5: there's going to be a crowded, you know, crowd for
- 29:52Speaker 5: USA local games. We're gonna go with USA. All the
- 29:55Speaker 5: three local teams have to win, so that'll be a
- 29:57Speaker 5: history for the World Cup. So we'll do that.
- 30:00Speaker 3: Man, what happens, Poppy, what happens if the final leg
- 30:03Speaker 3: is Team usay and they let you down.
- 30:06Speaker 5: No, they're not gonna let it down. They're not gonna
- 30:08Speaker 5: let me down. So we're gonna make it.
- 30:10Speaker 3: They could win, but it's in uh extra time where
- 30:13Speaker 3: it's in pks. You know, they didn't win in those
- 30:15Speaker 3: ninety minutes and they let you down. They let you down.
- 30:19Speaker 5: They won't let me down. I'm hot at my World
- 30:21Speaker 5: Cup pick, Brian, trust me, they will not let me
- 30:23Speaker 5: know an obit good. So I want to make you
- 30:26Speaker 5: money and everyone money. We're gonna make you guys, bling blink.
- 30:28Speaker 5: They won't let me down.
- 30:29Speaker 3: Very nice. Well, it is plus on BETMGM. It's plus
- 30:32Speaker 3: two eighty four. The three picks you laid out for US, England, Belgium,
- 30:36Speaker 3: USA all to win in regular time. If we're tied
- 30:39Speaker 3: at the end of regular time. We're screwed, tighty screwed. Yeah,
- 30:43Speaker 3: we don't want that. So about three to one, three
- 30:45Speaker 3: to one for you, Poppy right there there you go.
- 30:47Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm confident, Brian, we're gonna win and we're gonna
- 30:49Speaker 5: make that blink bling and you could sock it to
- 30:51Speaker 5: your pocket. Brian, We're gonna make money. You'll remember these picks.
- 30:55Speaker 5: We'll make money.

- 31:09Speaker 3: got some winners for you right there. I tell you, man,
- 31:12Speaker 3: the couple of pks, the PK shootout's been really good.
- 31:16Speaker 3: You see some of these guys just buckling, buckling after
- 31:19Speaker 3: under the pressure. Man, it's just like, oh my gosh,
- 31:22Speaker 3: it's you know, it's just air mailing some of these things.
- 31:27Speaker 3: So it's been entertaining. I've had a good time with it. Hey,

- 31:56Speaker 3: got to get the gym festivities going in this. I'm
- 31:59Speaker 3: gonna be in over teaser right here, over teasing. I'm
- 32:03Speaker 3: normally a very harsh grader, but not when it comes
- 32:07Speaker 3: to this athlete. I'll lay that out for you momentarily.
- 32:10Speaker 3: I'm Brian no In for big Ben Malor. Hang with
- 32:12Speaker 3: us right here on Fox Sports Radio. It is Fox
- 32:15Speaker 3: Sports Radio. I'm Brian no In for Big Ben Mallor.
- 32:19Speaker 3: The excitement of the FIFA World Cup is now streaming
- 32:22Speaker 3: live on Fox one, the official English streaming platform to
- 32:26Speaker 3: catch every unforgettable moment. Fox one brings the action straight
- 32:29Speaker 3: to your screen, so you'd never miss a goal. Download
- 32:33Speaker 3: Fox one and experience the FIFA World Cup live. Oh,
- 32:38Speaker 3: I just checked it out. It took me a while
- 32:40Speaker 3: to figure it out, but man, it is quite the difference.
- 32:43Speaker 3: So Poppy has Team USA beating Bosnia, which could happen.
- 32:48Speaker 3: I'm rooting against it. I laid out my reasons at
- 32:51Speaker 3: the top of the hour. But Team USA in ninety minutes,
- 32:57Speaker 3: just regular time, they are our moneyline favorites of minus
- 33:01Speaker 3: two fifty, meaning you would have to wager two hundred
- 33:04Speaker 3: and fifty dollars to win one hundred dollars. They're a
- 33:08Speaker 3: pretty heavy favorite.
- 33:10Speaker 1: Now.
- 33:11Speaker 3: They could be tied at the end of regulation. At
- 33:14Speaker 3: the end of ninety minutes plus stoppage time, they're tied up.
- 33:18Speaker 3: If you had Team USA to win in the first
- 33:21Speaker 3: ninety minutes, you would freaking lose. If they're tied, your
- 33:24Speaker 3: bet is dead. They could go on and win the match.
- 33:27Speaker 3: They win the game ultimately, but it doesn't matter because
- 33:30Speaker 3: you're betting on them in regular time in those first
- 33:32Speaker 3: ninety minutes. Now, if you do just to win the
- 33:36Speaker 3: game and it's draw, no bet, right. If there's a draw,
- 33:40Speaker 3: then your bet is no action. Right. If you're betting
- 33:45Speaker 3: Team USA with a no draw bet, it's minus seven hundred, right,
- 33:51Speaker 3: So you would have to risk seven hundred dollars just
- 33:54Speaker 3: to win one hundred dollars. They're a massive favorite to
- 33:59Speaker 3: win the match. You know, outside of a draw nullifying
- 34:05Speaker 3: your bet in the first ninety minutes. I hope that
- 34:06Speaker 3: makes sense. I hope you didn't confuse you on that one.
- 34:08Speaker 3: So Team USA to win in regular time like ninety minutes.
- 34:13Speaker 3: Just keep ninety minutes in mind, it's minus two fifty.
- 34:17Speaker 3: Team USA to win like draws, no bet. If a
- 34:22Speaker 3: drawn and regular time happens, it doesn't matter. Right, Team
- 34:27Speaker 3: USA wins an extra time, great, it's minus seven hundred,
- 34:30Speaker 3: So it hikes up quite a bit, quite a bit
- 34:34Speaker 3: right there. If you're trying to get a result, right
- 34:39Speaker 3: if it's if it's drawn regular time, you still get
- 34:42Speaker 3: a result if you bet. If you bet, draw, no bet.
- 34:46Speaker 3: So there you go. There are a couple of things, hopefully.
- 34:48Speaker 3: I'm sure a couple of people are just kind of
- 34:50Speaker 3: like wobbling in their chair, just like what just have that.
- 34:54Speaker 3: It's I just put you in the sauna for a second,
- 34:56Speaker 3: right there. But long story short is the draw I
- 35:00Speaker 3: would screw you if you've got Team USA like they
- 35:03Speaker 3: could be tied at the end of regulation. Happened in
- 35:05Speaker 3: a couple of matches, right, we just saw it a
- 35:07Speaker 3: couple of times with the Netherlands were involved in a
- 35:11Speaker 3: PK shootout. Let's see, my memory is fading me Germany, Yeah,
- 35:17Speaker 3: Germany and Paraguay in the penalty kicks, and then it
- 35:21Speaker 3: was just followed by the Netherlens in Morocco. Oh man,
- 35:24Speaker 3: the Netherlands in Morocco were just melting under the pressure.
- 35:29Speaker 3: It's who you have so much real estate with that goal.
- 35:34Speaker 3: But I get it. You know, you're you're playing mental
- 35:37Speaker 3: gymnastics with the goaltender, like is he gonna go right?
- 35:40Speaker 3: He's going left? All right, well I gotta go right.
- 35:42Speaker 3: At the last second, they just either airmail it or
- 35:46Speaker 3: it's wide. They're just like, oh no, I just royally
- 35:52Speaker 3: screwed this thing all up. Man. So yeah, the pks
- 35:56Speaker 3: are pretty pretty intense. It's fun, but uh yeah, I
- 36:01Speaker 3: don't know. Like those those matches right there, Germany, Paraguay, Netherlands, Morocco.
- 36:07Speaker 3: If you picked any of those four nations to win,
- 36:11Speaker 3: just win you know the match regular time? Wrong, You
- 36:14Speaker 3: should have bet draw draw was the right answer. If
- 36:17Speaker 3: you're talking about just regular time, it gets confusing. It
- 36:20Speaker 3: took me a second to understand, like, wait a minute,
- 36:23Speaker 3: I thought they won. What do you mean I lost
- 36:25Speaker 3: my bet? I was betting on whatever I was betting
- 36:27Speaker 3: on the Netherlands or no, I was betting on I
- 36:31Speaker 3: was betting on Morocco and they won. What do you
- 36:34Speaker 3: mean I lost my bet? And it's like, oh, okay,
- 36:36Speaker 3: regular time got it? I guess. I guess that'd be
- 36:41Speaker 3: the thing for football. You got equate it to a sport,
- 36:43Speaker 3: you understand, right, if you could bet in football. Let's
- 36:48Speaker 3: take an NFL game. We got an NFC East tilt.
- 36:51Speaker 3: Cowboys are taking on the Eagles, right, if you could
- 36:55Speaker 3: bet Cowboys money line, Eagles money line or tie if
- 37:00Speaker 3: the game went into overtime, tie would be the right answer. Like,
- 37:06Speaker 3: that's basically the equivalent of soccer.
- 37:09Speaker 8: Okay, So whatever it is by the end of the
- 37:12Speaker 8: before the extra time that they act, so like that
- 37:14Speaker 8: extra seven or nine minutes, that's what the final score is.
- 37:18Speaker 3: That's that's what the bet means. That's what's a bet. Yeah,
- 37:21Speaker 3: goes towards okay. Yeah, that's like the standard way to
- 37:24Speaker 3: bet soccer, and you could get to the more like
- 37:26Speaker 3: exotic ways, Lorena.
- 37:28Speaker 8: I would feel cheated though, Like if the game was
- 37:30Speaker 8: added on another seven minutes and I didn't win, even
- 37:33Speaker 8: though my team ended up doing what, Yeah, I would
- 37:37Speaker 8: be like, right, EGYP, I don't know how.
- 37:38Speaker 3: Oh, completely. This happened to me, Lorena, I have a
- 37:42Speaker 3: soccer story for you. Oh no, and I got screwed
- 37:45Speaker 3: out of a win right here. No. Yes. So it
- 37:50Speaker 3: was the last World Cup. It was Argentina against Poland,
- 37:55Speaker 3: and I'm watching this match. I'm watching the game and
- 37:58Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, man, Argentina. I feel very strongly Argentina
- 38:03Speaker 3: is going to score the first goal. They're just more aggressive.
- 38:07Speaker 3: They had the ball in there, you know, in enemy
- 38:09Speaker 3: territory consistently. I'm like, they're gonna score the first goal.
- 38:13Speaker 3: And so I went on the app bet on Argentina
- 38:17Speaker 3: to score the first goal. Then I looked at the
- 38:19Speaker 3: fine print and it was like Argentina to score the
- 38:22Speaker 3: first goal of the first half, and I'm like, oh no,
- 38:27Speaker 3: I don't want to get screwed by that. I don't
- 38:28Speaker 3: know if they're going to score in the first half
- 38:30Speaker 3: or not. I was just betting on them to score
- 38:32Speaker 3: the first goal period.
- 38:33Speaker 1: Ah.
- 38:34Speaker 3: And so what happened. There's a penalty kick and Messi
- 38:40Speaker 3: is taking the penalty kick. I'm on the doorstep of
- 38:44Speaker 3: a win here, Lorena. You'll say who you've met before?
- 38:47Speaker 3: The girl I was dating last She's like you're ready
- 38:50Speaker 3: to win. I'm like, I'm ready to win. Let's do
- 38:52Speaker 3: this thing. MESSI steps up airmails it just over the
- 38:58Speaker 3: goal and not even klooneh not even remotely close. No
- 39:03Speaker 3: score in the first half, and then right away in
- 39:06Speaker 3: the second half Argentina scores. So it's like what I
- 39:10Speaker 3: was intending to bet was totally correct, but because of
- 39:15Speaker 3: this weird little technicality of oh it was, I didn't
- 39:20Speaker 3: realize it was the first goal of the first half.
- 39:22Speaker 3: I was just betting on them to score first. What
- 39:24Speaker 3: do you o? Brutal? So yeah, you can get absolutely
- 39:28Speaker 3: hosed by the soccer fine print right there. You got
- 39:32Speaker 3: to be very very careful about what you're betting on exactly,
- 39:34Speaker 3: because you'll learn the hard way in soccer. Man, there's
- 39:38Speaker 3: ever a sport where you're like, wait, it's that. That's
- 39:40Speaker 3: the way it works with football. If you bet on
- 39:43Speaker 3: the Cowboys to win and the Cowboys win, get you
- 39:45Speaker 3: on your bet. Okay, Like that's you bet on the
- 39:48Speaker 3: Eagles to win, the Eagles win, you win your bet.
- 39:50Speaker 3: It's like, wait, it went to overtime and I didn't
- 39:54Speaker 3: realize we're just betting on regular time. Oh, welcome to
- 39:58Speaker 3: soccer betting. That's just it's a different animal right there.
- 40:01Speaker 3: So I do like corner kicks. I like betting over
- 40:06Speaker 3: or under corner kicks because some of these teams are
- 40:09Speaker 3: just aggressive, man, and they end up with a lot
- 40:11Speaker 3: of corner kicks. I do like another play. I didn't
- 40:15Speaker 3: know we were talking soccer betting here. I like when
- 40:18Speaker 3: a team like Mexico, Mexico had a two nothing lead,
- 40:22Speaker 3: and I like betting in game on the team trailing
- 40:26Speaker 3: to have over their corner kick total. That's what happened
- 40:31Speaker 3: this match with Mexico. Their opponent went over there because
- 40:36Speaker 3: they have to be crazy aggressive. They got to keep
- 40:39Speaker 3: going and go. Ecuador was over, and you bet Mexico
- 40:42Speaker 3: under their live in game number right there, you go
- 40:44Speaker 3: under right there, all right, coming up next. It's such
- 40:47Speaker 3: a weak move and it gets a free pass every time.
