• 0:21
  Speaker 3: and I want to start with NHL free agency and
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: the moves that are made by the Avs. Mos what
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: do you got for Jayden Schwartz.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Well, the big dog in all of this, fellas is
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Jaden Schwartz, and he's been around for an awfully long
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: time and he's basically he can still score in this league.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: In fact, two years ago he had twenty six goals
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: for Seattle, which is terrific, had forty nine points overall
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: eighty one games, injured a lot last year twenty six
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: points and fifty fifty games, So you're looking basically at
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: a half point a game guy still at the age
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: of thirty four, not the biggest guy in the world,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: but he's a well built guy. Vic He's a five
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to ten to one ninety kind of guy. Okay, So
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: he's he's uh yeah and.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Jack juryish right yeah about his yeah.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: But he's he's shifty, and he's water bug like and
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: He's a total and absolute total pro. So he's going
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to be a good addition to this club. Yeah, I'm
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: looking forward to it. He's obviously a Stanley Cup champion
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: when he played with the Saint Louis Blues. So that's
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the big dog in all of this. If you're talking
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: about other guys, Joel Seventh, y Okay, Beckman, minor leaguer Henestroza.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Vinnie's had almost five hundred games in the league. Just
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: a energy guy. But but again it's spent time.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: In the A and then fences the other guy.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Uh, well that's a These are minor league players now
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: we're talking about like I'm going through the five that
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: that happened Christian Land and just just got signed to
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: the defenseman. These are organizational depth kind of players.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, gotcha?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: So the rock set that is correct. If you see them,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: that means something happened on the big club. They got
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: a call up to take a look at him.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Why don't I see you?
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Oh I don't know why, Nelly, because he had a
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: live read.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: So he constantly turns his camera off when he has
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a live read.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Coward.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah take that healthy.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Way now, second gave in his press conference It had
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: a tone of like, we're done now. I know that
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: doesn't mean like if a trade opens up or something
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: like that, something can't happen, but it feels like the
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: big ticket so far is gonna be Jaden Schwartz.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: That is cool and I think that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Look, whether you agree or disagree with this, this has
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: been the entire tone and tenor of the AVS offseason.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: It has been one of we liked what we had
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: last year. It just went wrong in a short burst.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Like that's everything they have said to you. Every action
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: they have taken has pointed to one thing. They believe more.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And I did the math earlier.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Let me go back and figure this out. Four games
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: the first round, five, in the second four, and the
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: third thirteen. They believed more in the ninety games previous
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: to the ninety one through ninety five. They thought that
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: was the representation of their team, not the final four
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: games of the season.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I would agree with that, because there are mitigating circumstances
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: as to what happened against Vegas. Not saying the Abs
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: were at fault, because they were, but they're mitigating circumstances
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: regarding that particular loss. In that particular Swite that's so. Yeah,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: when you look at this, let me let me run
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: down this lineup for you, all right, Lucky McKinnon, Natchius,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Kadrie Nelson, Landy Schwartz, Wa O'Connor, loc your boy Kelly,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: let's say Sketchkoff.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: LaRue.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's pretty good, Taves, mccarr, Kulock, Malensky,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Manson Burns.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: It's pretty good.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: And then you throw in the Jennings winners in your
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: two goaltenders in Blackwood and Wedgwood. That's a damn fine
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: hockey club. Boys, I don't I know it hurts it.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I know you're mad. Still, you're they should have done
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: this and that. I and what I say to you,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: that club that I just read off, yeah, is a
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: damn fine hockey club. That being said, there's no doubt
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: in my mind that if something comes up in the
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: season or at the deadline to make this team better,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Joe Sakik will absolutely make this team better.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't think there's any doubt that they will
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: be players again in trades if trades become available. But
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: we all kind of know they didn't have, you know,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: fifteen million doalvers to work with this offseason. They were
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: pressed up against the cap because you have good players,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: and so Jayden Schwartz is probably your big ticket item.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: That's what it's gonna be. Now.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I will say this, I do you want to shift
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: over to something else that happened over the weekend, which
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: is two trades Jaylen Brown trade from Boston which seems insane,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: But does anybody else find it really odd that Kawhi
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: is traded to Toronto. They're discussing now a long term extension.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: What happens if Kawhi if aspiration stuff goes down.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Well, it's obviously it's not going to go down. What
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: that means, right, it's not.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: It means it means that they're sweeping it under the
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: rug and they're just getting him out of La. It
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: could be a joint effort by the Clippers and the NBA.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Who knows, Just get him out of La. That way
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: you can avoid anything, any fallout. The aspiration thing will
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: never get prosecuted. It's not happening, not gonna happen. He's gone.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Everybody's fingerprints are off it now. It's their way of
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: just dropping dropping the gun, dropping a loaded gun and running.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: That's the NBA saying that there is no punishment to
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: come out of this. And they've been trying to do
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: this from the beginning. This story broke and it's like,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: all right, we'll look into it. And then like four
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: months later, so how's the looking into it going? We're
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: still looking into it.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, where a.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Guy now is north of the border. He's fleeing understood.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Well, all I'm saying is that they're just being like,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to so quit ask.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he wasn't going to go to jail or anything.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're not gonna arrest Kawhi first. No, but
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: he said he fled, Well he yeah he did, but
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: he fled north.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Of the border. I'm not going to so quit ask.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: So the deal is that it's just he's gone now
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: and so there there's no more there there, there's nothing
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: to see, there's nothing to look at, there's nothing to
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: pay attention to. How about all we couldn't find anything
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the guy's doing time were our hands are clean of it?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: The whole thing stinks, But what are you gonna do?
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: How about the reports out of Boston that the Celtics
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: were very much entertaining Denver's offer, but they wanted Jamal
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Murray and Denver did.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Not offer Jamal, they offered ag or Cam Johnson.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: They were they were gonna try and get Jamal, Jalen
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: and Joker together.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, would have been pretty cool to watch.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: It would have been kind of eat.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: I'm reading that what they ended up doing is getting
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: fleeced by Philadelphia. What is Boston thinking? They took on
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Paul George's contract, and Paul George, I don't know if
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: you've watched him of late, remember he missed like twenty
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: five games for substance in his body last year that
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: he took. I think Boston was so down on Jalen
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Brown that they, at the end of the day just
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: said take him.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: It was almost like a salary.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah what, I don't know what happened there, Okay, I
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: mean eventually they started putting his name out there. Then
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: there's no way. Once that happens, there's no way you
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: can bring that guy back into the fold. Despite Brad
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Stevens what a week and a half ago, going oh,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: he's valued, we value him as value and valued so
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: like that's a bunch of crap.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Two things and what Vic just said, Number one, I
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: don't get I've never understood this fascination. But I'm being
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: dead serious. I've seen, you know, when they go to
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: like a kid's camp, like maybe that's like young high
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: school kids in some basketball camp, and they all throw
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: the cameras in the face. Who's your favorite player? There's
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: two people on earth that think Paul George is like
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: the greatest thing to ever exists. It's fourteen year olds
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: for some raising and anybody running a basketball team.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Any GM in charge.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: The amount two trades have gone down for Paul George
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: now that I think are seen as absolute atrocious disasters.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: It's this one in the Thunder trade to the Clippers
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: that got them Shay in like six first round picks.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: And I just don't get what people seeing Paul George
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: to make them think he's worthy of this time.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: And don't forget that he was taken from that OKC
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: to the Clippers was on the behest of Kawhi Leonard.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Kawhi Leonard said he wasn't going to the Clippers unless
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Paul George came with right, correct.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't understand what it is about this
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: guy that executives still see.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: He's been a consistent twenty plus point scorer in his career.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: He's fine.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I know he's a good player. He's pretty out of.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: The backboard against the Nuggets in a knockout game.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: He's pretty old now though, I mean he's in his
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: upper thirties. In terms of of you know, basketball life
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: left in him, I don't know. I don't know. There
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: was a time though, well, Paul George was public ennemy
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: number one for me because the Nuggets, what one point,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: wanted Paul George and they tried to acquire him from
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: the Indiana Pacers, and he told them to go get bent.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: He told the Nuggets get I won't sign, get out
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: of my face. And that that that that's.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Stun Okay, But hang on, Vic. The other thing you said,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't want to downplay this. If the
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: offer was we'll do this trade if you give us Jamal,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: and the Nuggets said no, then is Jamal when they
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: said everybody's on the table, is Jamal truly on the table?
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Well, they value Jamal more than they value Jalen Brown.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: The Nuggets did, So who do they value less than Jamal?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: The table?
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: No?
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: No, I'm saying around the league, Jalen Brown was an
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: MVP candidate. Well, he like, there's only a few guys
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: in that finals MVP. He's a finals MVP. He was
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: an overall MVP candidate this last year. How many guys
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: do they have Jamal above that?
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: I I think that should see if.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: The Bucks said, will give you Giannis for Jamal, what
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: would they do?
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Great question? I will say this, Vic, and you correct
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong. This sends a hell of a
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: message to Jamal Murray.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: It's like, this sends a hell of a message that Listen,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: they wanted you and we said no for Jalen Brown.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: That's how much we value you. Now, Jamal, you better
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: play your ass off for the rest of your Nuggets career.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: You know what's funny.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that he hasn't. I'm saying that that
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: they had a chance to make an earth shattering deal.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Earth shattering and.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: One that I think everybody in the league and their
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: own fan base would have been. Like, whether you liked
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: it or not, you'd have to say.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I get it, I get it, correct you. I may
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: not be thrilled with it, but I get it. I mean,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: you're trading for It's.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Certainly not what Bomb feels right now? How do they
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: feel after that trade?
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: They don't get it? He went for less than Walker.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Kessler went, Yeah, it's it's insane.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: So what's crazy? What's crazy? That whole deal or the dude?
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: What that dude that Philadelphia signed as a restricted free
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: agent the Flyers? Oh, can you explain where that came
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: from and.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: What that does to the arc of salaries in the NHL.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Well, there's some bad blood in there, Vic, what it's
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: gonna do? I I am I am bad blood with
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: what with Cutter Gautier? That that bad blood he was
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: with the Philadelphia Flyers. Uh, they finally ended up trading
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: his rights to the Ducks. It just the way the
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: whole thing went down, in the way that that Gautier
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: is like, I ain't doing this here in Philly because
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Torch was there at the time and so on. It was,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: it was. It was very mess So Danny Brier basically goes, oh, yeah,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: watch this now making Leo Carlson, who's a fine young
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: he's still a very young guy. He's got amazing potential.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I think he could be one hundred point guy in
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: this league. But to make him at this point, the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: highest paid player in the National Hockey League blows my
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: doors off, do you know? I mean, it absolutely blows
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: my doors. And by the way, I got an update
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: on the salary cap this year. It's one hundred and four.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: We're looking at one thirteen next year and the following
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: year one twenty three.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: So it's sizeable.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: It's going up, I mean big time. But to fit
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: eighteen million bucks a year for this for this one player, vic,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: it does a lot.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Quick question, quick question, Do you guys know what Anaheim
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: receives in return if they don't match this offer?
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Four number one picks, four.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: First rounders, that's what they get in return?
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Yep. And the Ducks are petitioning the league to get
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: some clarification that since this offer sheet would make him
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: the highest paid player in the league, they believe the
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Ducks believe that if they don't match it, that they
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: should get a compensatory fifth first round pick because he's
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: now the highest paid player in the league. That it's
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: like the total acceleration clause.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Guys, I have an idea. What's that work with me
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: on this? We still have a lot of show left.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: We have a whiteboard there in the studio. Correct, Kevin
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: has that whiteboard?
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Okay, erase everything Kevin's got on there, superfluous information.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Nobody follows it. Sorry, Kevin, Well, there's.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Nothing on there except for me, my def Leppard. All right,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: let's take that whiteboard.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Le's put it behind you. Guys.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Can we put a whiteboard together on what the nuggets
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: options are? With what a week left in this game?
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: There's a week left basically before decisions have to be made.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Nelly has the best writing. I think Nelly should write it.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: Boj I have the handwriting of a doctor with none
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: of the other knowledge or skills of a doctor.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: I have the writing of a left handed monkey.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: That leaves you, Brent, I guarantee you.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: It's the worst handwriting you've ever seen in your life.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Okay, since I'm not there with the whiteboard, Otherwise I
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: would take over pout this.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Can you recruit somebody?
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: You gave me?
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: If you gave me the marker and said write this
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: with your mouth, it would look better with my hands.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Where's go get somebody? Find somebody? Find someone. How's this
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: for a whiteboard? No, doum and I want a pointer.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Uh So we'll get to that in a little bit.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: But Moje, can you tell the people what they can
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: do this weekend?
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: This weekend? Oh my goodness. One of the largest cigar

• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, I'm here. I've been here all weekend. I've
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: had an amazing time in Seattle. It's been the Epcot
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: Center of soccer because I'm going to like, I'm not
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: going to any big sports places or big viewing parties.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: I'm going, as you know, small bars that cater to
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: exactly one team or the other. So I was at
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: the Skull Beer Hall UH in Ballard, and yesterday I
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: was at the UH Dragon George and Dragon for England,
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: and I'm not rooting against Mexico, but I had to
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: make a choice, and I chose England. Queen Anne Beer
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Hall for Argentina, which was insane, and then the French
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: were the most obnoxious watch party of all time. They
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: had room for like fifteen people at the Millennium, which
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: is in the you know, the big public fish market area.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: They went too, like fifteen people and we drank wine
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: and tail getting root for France. We've done in a
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: standing time here and now we're ready for the United
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: States of American boys. Well, here we go.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I envy you. I have so many questions.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: I want to get into that watch party last night
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: with the English crowd. But before we go there, Yeah,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: the ticket prices, the get in prices for the US
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Belgian game are astronomical, like twenty five hundred bucks. What
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: are the chances that dmac wiggles his way into that
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: stadium tonight?
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: Got to be under one thousand dollars And I can't
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: even believe I'm saying that it's at seventeen hundred this
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: morning that I saw for one ticket. My wife already
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: went back some on my own. I don't know. Vic.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: I'd love to go. I would absolutely love to go.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: But I'll tell you this, man, I don't know if
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: there's a better communal sports watching experience than watching with
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: soccer fans where to God and I've kind of done
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: it all. And it's not like we don't love the
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: Broncos and as Douggets all that stuff. There's nothing like this.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: I've never experienced anything in my life like it. So
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: if I don't get a ticket, I'm gonna be all
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: right bucking near the stadium. There's a million places to watch.
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: But I would love to go. Don't get me wrong,
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: I would love to go.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: I love that we have national pride going into this game,
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: and with the news yesterday with Baligan and all that business,
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: I'm just curious how many of those Belgianese people are
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: hanging out there.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: I've seen one person from Belgium. I don't know how
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: I would recognize them. I think because they don't speak
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: the same. I mean, they're all over the place. They
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: look like one of us, but they're not, so I
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: don't even know how to I mean, I look for
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: somebody with a big waffle, I have no.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Idea in their hand I guess right, Yeah.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you this. I can tell you who's I
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: can tell you who Norwegian, and I can certainly tell
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: you who's English. Oh my god. The English, listen, man,
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: they are kind of like they're fun though, you know,
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: like the English people are wise acts. They're really fun
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: to hang out with because they're funnee. They're funny people.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: They think it's a joke. What's going on with the
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: US and Baligant? Oh my god, it's.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: The first thing that I said this morning, appetizer to
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: start this show.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Whatever.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: I think the best part about Baligan getting the red card,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: us being told there is no appeals process, and then
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: him being able to play twenty four hours before the
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: game is that we got our hands on a little
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: feefa corruption. We must have arrived as a soccer country.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: Quick to let Americans know that Brett, that's not a
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: snecret around here. I mean, it is kind of a
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: crazy moment. Guys. You got to it. We were on
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: the air together on Thursday. They're like, Oh, there's no way,
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: there's nothing that I remember. I looked it up and
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: I was like, oh, this is ridiculous. What it would take.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: Like it's impossible. So while Maugan didn't deserve it in
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: the first place, Guys, come on, man, I mean, it's
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: a weird, sort of weird.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: It was weird, But it was weird that the that
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: the play the way it happened, when it happened live,
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: having to go to var for slow mo. You have
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: to admit that was weird because I think we can
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: both acknowledge or that the red card at that time,
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: that was a mockery in itself.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: There's no reason that deserved a red card. It was
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: purely accidental.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: Well, the world's against us now, fellas when it comes
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: to this stuff, that's for sure. By the way, I'll
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: let you know this, the FIFA president is hated by everybody.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: Every single watch party I've been to. I've been to
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: five of them, every single one of them. When they
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: show him, he is mooed relentlessly. So this ain't gonna help.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: So but by the way, the Belgians are appealing you
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: guys know that.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, they wrote they wrote a very sternly awarded letter.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Good good luck with that, dorks. Hey, we just had
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: a guy, by the way, we just had a guy
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: from Belgium on last hour.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I heard him. Yeah, yeah, so he was useless.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah he didn't give us, he didn't give us any
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: any of yeah, any jam at all. But he did
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: say that, yeah, everybody thinks that this Red Guard overturn
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: is a bunch of crap. So what I don't care, hey,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: but for you as a sports guy, yeah, how cool
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: is it? I mean, how cool is it to be
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: able to be in an environment where you have the
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: world coming together and you know, and and it's it's
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: like fun right, like it's it's just it's gotta be
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: an awesome environment all the time.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: I would have never put this on a bucket list
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: of we were we were thinking about coming to Seattle anyways.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: We've never been here, never been to Seattle, Vancouver. My
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: wife and I were thinking about coming here anyway. So
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: when the US came was like, well, no doubt about it,
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: We're going. I can't believe how great this trip is.
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: As a sports fan, cannot believe it. I mean, if
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: you're into sports, you don't even have to like soccer,
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: if you just like sports, I would do this trip.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: I would go to a city for three days where
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: the World Cup's being played and go to these little
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: neighborhood places. I mean, it's outstanding, incredble experience.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: D Mac. I tell people this.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: I put top three things I've ever witnessed in my
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: sporting life in my career was the World Cup ninety
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: four when the US last hosted it and I got
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: to go to a couple of games with the Bulgarian team.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: For those even those soccer.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: Haters out there, if you don't like the sport, go
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: to a game and just witness the culture, witness the fandom,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: witness You're gonna sit there with mouth agape because it's
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: so different than the kind of games that we're used
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: to going to.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you this. Argentinia Argentina, Sorry, Argentinia Argentina, Holy cow,
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: unbelievable fans man Queen Anne beer Hall did not stop
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: at nine drums and tambourines, did not stop for two
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: and a half hours, singing and dancing. And never mind
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: me when I heard you guys talk about Messi's on
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: a different thing. Messi is on such a different thing, guys,
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: I don't think there's anybody we could compare him to
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: in the world. Michael Jordan, forget about it. Uh Lebron James,
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Know you guys name Tiger Tiger Tiger Beck in his heyday.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: Nothing that nothing dies, Nothing is like MESSI nothing, and
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: you gotta be around it. I think to sort of
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: really really feeling it's insane.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Hey, d Max, I want to get your thoughts.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Last night, you're in that bar is surrounded by all
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: the English soccer fans. They're watching again that I thought
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: was gonna turn into a brawl.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: It got ugly.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: What was the intensity? What was the feeling like in that?
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: Were there any brawls in the bar?
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: Every while? They would be fighting each other, So.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: He hasn't stopped them before.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: Right right, So here every every experience I've had, here's
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: what's happened. Because all these games have been relative close.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: Never mind that Cape verdet Argentina game that was that
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: was unreal. Last night was crazy too, because hey, Jude
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: scores two goals within like what two minutes each other.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: Place the place goes bananas, Mexico comes back. It gets interesting.
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: Every place I've been to. In about the sixty fifth minute,
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: you could hear a pin drop because the anxiety pucker
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: level is rising up with the soccer fans, so they're
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: all into it. And getting drunken hammered and saying then
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: around the sixty fifth minute, it gets a little serious.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: So that's what it was kind of like. And then
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: at the end of the day, ultimate jubilation. By the way,
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: I was at the Angry Beaver in Greenwood there watching
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: Canadian soccer and very polite people, and they got their
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: ass kicked, and then their coach who's American, like, we're
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: the better team, all right. I had some poutine and
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: a Molson, but other than that, they really don't got
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: much going on. I'm sure it's a great place to
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: watch hockey. A guy like from the Trailer Park Boys
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: was the MC for the thing. But that was a
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: great experience too. And there's a part guy same the
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: Angry Beaver. Can you not love a hockey place called
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: the Angry agreed?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I've experienced anyway. The point is the point. The point
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: is this is that, uh, I'm glad that it just
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: seems and this warm is my heart. And I know
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: some of it's anecdotal, but it seems like the us
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: DMAC has been a really good host, like a lot
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: of good experiences, you know. I was reading I was
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: reading the Ecuadorians and other people coming out of Mexico
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: and the English that were down there, and like it's
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: pretty hostile. It's not. It's not like that friendly, fun
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: banter type of thing. It's it's like mean and it's
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: you know, it's maybe a little bit scary at times,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: that kind of thing. How how tense it really is
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: between the host country and the other teams that are there.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: But it feels like here, hey man, hey, come on in,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: have some bruise and enjoy life and welcome to the US.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: And it just feels like the US has been a
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: pretty damn good host.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: Oh I can alway speak for Seattle, but it's been incredible.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: First of all, the weather, guys, has been unreal and
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: game time. I think it's gonna be in the mid seventies.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: It's sunny. We're in Seattle. It's fairly been cloudy. It
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: hasn't rained. I could see Mount Rainier clear as day.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: That was insane. I'm staying in queen Annmark, right near
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: the hockey arena, right near the space Needle, which is
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: a it's a city. Okay, so there's quirky stuff in
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: the city. There's some good areas, there's some bad areas.
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: But the public transportation system here in Seattle is it's unreal.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: Didn't get a car, don't need one, could take a bus, yeah,
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: anywhere you want to get.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: We're just we're so far behind the times here.
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: There's there's so few cars here in Seattle because you
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: don't you'd be stupid to take a car in Seattle, guys,
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: and you don't even need Uber Swear to god. The
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: bus system is unreal here. So they got it figured out.
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: It's absolutely gorgeous. It's been great and I'm looking forward
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: to watching the game for sure and hopefully kicking Belgium's
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: ass right, whether we're cheating or not. Is you know
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: what FIFA is? Ridiculously corrupt? Why do you think the
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: FIFA head guy gets booed every time they put his
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: base on TV? They shouldn't have got a red card anyways.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: Is it weird? And will we be pissed off if
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: we were any other country? Ye? So you take it
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: on and you put it in a big pot, and
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: you play soccer tonight in Seattle.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Hey beat some of that Belgium ass. That's all I'm saying.
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: You can find somebody, hold on, can find somebody from Belgium.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Before you leave. I'm gonna use this as my two
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: minutes of Rocky stock for today.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: Gotcha.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: I like him, I think the fun They are very good.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: But but thank you, they aren't the worst in baseball
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: ass of right now?
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: How about that who's worse right now? Because it's win
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: and lost percentage? She was actually worse.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Those categories Angels and by win percentage it is the
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Angels are the worst, followed by the Royals and then
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: the Rocks.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: Hunter Goodman is completely legit. TJ. Rumfield is a Rookie
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: of the Year candidate. Mickey mo sadly, Moniac and McCarthy
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: are probably both gonna get traded, which kind of sucks
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: because they are a blast to watch. But that's just
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: the way it goes. Hey there, listen, man, I'll tell
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: you this. If you don't like the Rockies now, you
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: just don't like baseball, that's all. And if you don't
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: like baseball, that's fine, But that's it. That's the only
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: reason you don't like the Rockies right now.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: They're they're fun, in chaotic and bad all at the
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: same time. Like it's all of it kind of put together.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Just say one thing, Kyle Carross coming around is really
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: making me happy too. It's another guy that's starting to
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: turn that bat on.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a real player. I've heard that, like they
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: don't have real players. Kyle Carros is a real player
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: who had a clutch home run in a real situation.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: And it's funny when people say, oh, the Giants are bad,
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: the Rockies are the worst team in baseball. Don't give
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: me like another team is bad. Everybody theoretically until today,
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: I suppose, is better than the Rockies. So they've won
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: four on the five games they beat the Giants that
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: came from behind. I mean, give me a break, guys.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: And let's see, they'll probably win a game from the Dodgers,
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: which would be amazing. And you get it from there. No,
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: I like watching this Rockey team. They're on the right path.
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: And look what the White Sox are doing. Guys. By
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: the way, three years after being the worst team ever.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Yep, uh, de mak have some more fun in Seattle.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Good yeah, good.

  Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Uh he will be later.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: He I don't not so much better than your Belgian friend.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Well he's de mac. Wait, yeah it is true.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: We just kind of picked the guy out of Belgium
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: and we said, can you give us a breakdown like
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: your professional soccer analyst.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: That was unfair what we did to that man. What
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: was his name, Robbie Robbie Beers.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: That the problem is too, is that there's a bit
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: of a delay, so we're talking over him and you
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: know how it goes.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just don't have friends that can handle the moment.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: You just don't have them.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: If not so uh three oh three, five oh four
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: nine two five shot maz to text line one price,
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: one person, one hour. Oh, by the way, next, I
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: want to backset. Oh, by the way, stories around sports
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: in the world, we feel like you should be aware of.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Here's one that just came out recently on the subject
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: we were just discussing. The Belgian federation was quote astonished
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: by FIFA's decision to suspend Baligan's one game ban and
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: has appealed. Their head coach Rudy Garcia says, I didn't
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: know that the World Cup July fifth is actually April first,
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: because it's April fools.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Someone scared.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Rudy Garcia says Belgium is not just defending itself or
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: the national team. It is defending football in general.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: See ball in general. So rinaldo suspension is reduced and
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Messy doesn't get jack squat and blah blah blah blah blah.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Ain't nobody defending the integrity of the game then, But now.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Bs On behalf of all the world.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: We will take this on with FIFA.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: I do think it is there's one thing that this
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: screams to me, and it is whether you like it
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: or not.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: It's fair.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: It's fair.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Like this is what's so funny to me. Everybody said
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: when the USB Paraguay or early in this World Cup
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: that the US was nothing to worry about and they
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: aren't going to do anything in this tournament. Now, all
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, you got people panicked.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh by the way.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: And I wanted to respond to this because there are
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: a lot of people jumping on board the soccer bandwagon
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: now and it's been fun, right, this is all we're doing. Hell,
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: we just had a live report from a soccer site tonight.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: There's a big difference, guys, and I want you to understand.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: You'll notice it. Soccer fun. I played soccer, I love soccer,
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: but World Cup soccer is like a different sport.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: It's like a different sport. It's not the same thing.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: It's never been the same thing.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: World Cup soccer introduces cultures and countries and national pride.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: It's like the Olympics, it really is.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: It's like anything else that involves country versus country, the WBC, whatever,
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: pick a sport.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: So don't confuse or conflate World Cup soccer to soccer.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: They're like completely different deals and for those that are uninitiated,
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: you will see the difference. You can go back to
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: watching soccer, but it won't feel the same. It won't
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: be the same. It doesn't carry the same I don't
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: know weight. It's just is what it is. This is
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: as good as it gets. I've always been a World
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Cup Soccer fanatic, not a fan, a fanatic because it
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: is different.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: It is culture.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Over the weekend, Joy chessnut Nathan's hot dogg eating contest
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: one again, disgusting, eighteenth time, I think right, eighteenth mustard belt.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: So what's amazing to me? Dude hord down sixty six
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: hot dogs and buns, his world record seventy six, and
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: he said, dang it. He says, dang it, man, I
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: got so much room left after it was over, Okay,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: that's fine. What I'm more surprised at, and what blows
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: my mind is Mika Miki Pseudo. You know who that is?
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: It's the women's champion.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: What'd she get?
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: She won her twelve belt, thirty eight point seventy five dogs.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: You just gave You just gave that thirty seconds of
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: much thirty seconds more of promo and hype than I
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: would ever understand.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: What this blows me away.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: She's just this little five foot four thing. She's just
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: a little thing. How does this small I did a
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: wing eating contest one time, and the person who won
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: wasn't the big, old, big old guys. It was this
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: little blonde gal with her kid. She had to be
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: like five to three and one hundred and five pounds,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: and she blew their doors off. And I'm like, stee,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: what hold do they do?
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: This?
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: I do to Mosuer's credit for bringing this up, I
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: have one thing to ask. Joey Chestnutt has won I
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: believe eighteen of the last nineteen of these things. Whether
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: you think it's disgusting, and I do, I think it's
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: abhorrently gross, it is really impressive that you're the best
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: in the world at something for almost two straight decades.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: No matter what the thing is, it's impressive that it's.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Still disgusting and unwatchable and it's not a sport, and
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: the fact that it's just.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Stupid, it's stupid.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: It is pretty gross.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: It's stupid. It's stupid that here on a sports show.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: Today, we're putting that on the same stage as actual
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: sports when they're not even close.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: This is this could be about anything, though, and I'm
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: telling you, it blows my mind that this little five
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: foot four gal can hort down thirty nine hot dogs
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: in ten minutes.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Oh by the way, did you guys see that the
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: win over Bosnia or Togovina peaked on Fox at thirty
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: one point eight million viewers thirty.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: One point eight wait is see tonight's numbers.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: It's the most watched soccer telecast in English language US history.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: I think you're right vic that this will do an
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: even bigger number. But there's here's the difference.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I think that.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: Anybody, if you put their red, white and blue on
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: on somebody's uniform and say that they're competing in something,
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: you'll get people to watch. The fact that you feel
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: like you got an actual shot at doing something fun.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Makes this one different. It's not like, Okay, we're here,
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: but we're gonna get bounced to, you know, before group
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: stage or whatever. You're like, I don't know how far
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: they're gonna go. I don't think they're gonna win the
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: World Cup, but could they get to the final eight teams,
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: that'd be remarkable. It'd be their best finish I think ever.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Really they made quarters back in like nineteen thirty or something.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: But and rightfully so, we said from the beginning when
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: they beat Paraguay and the way they looked beating Paraguay,
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: and everybody said, oh, that was a fluke, right, Really,
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: did you see what Paraguay did since then?
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know they're out of the tournament now,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: but do you see who they beat? Yeah?
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: On the way, I mean it almost took France out
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: exactly right, So there's no fluke. This is a legit
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: team with legit goals and the goal tonight is to
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: shut down Belgium. Oh, by the way, I don't know
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: if you guys notice this, but no one has made.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: A bid yet on Peyton Watson.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: No teams have offered him a restricted free agent contract,
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: and there are said to be like two teams.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Left that have the salary cap space to.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: Do so, Brooklyn and the LA Clippers. Now the LA
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: Clippers have their own restricted free agent. They're dealing with
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: Benedict Mathern, so they may not have the time nor wherewithal.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: I like mathrom By the way I think, But what
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: happens fellas if nobody makes him an offer, then what
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: then you hold the cards?
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, then you can make whatever bid you want
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: on Peyton Watson. Now I think the Nuggets would be fair.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: You need to do right by the guy, right by him,
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: otherwise you'll have an angry player on your roster.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: But what is right?
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Did you guys hear from the camp on Peyton's side
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: that he wants over twenty five million.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true, that he wanted more
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: than what Christian got.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me, but his body of work
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: is still so small seventeen games.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think any offer around the Christian Brown market
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: is probably fair.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Did we overestimate though other teams GMS, yes, ability to
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: get crazy?
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what I was saying at the beginning of
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: this is like everybody feels like they're saying that there's
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: some bidding war for Peyton Watson. I'm like, maybe there's
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: gonna be He's played a real, really a month of
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: basketball at the level of what he's going to be paid.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know how many teams like I feel like
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: this is us over valuing him because we see it
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: every day.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, I gotta get back to this topic.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: Go by the way, from Dame Damn Carebert, thank you
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: for all your Twitch followers.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: By the way, all the people on twitch are the best.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: You're there every day.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: Regarding my commentary on how gross and ridiculous the food
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: eating thing is, Damn Careber, Hright's and vic it is gross. However,
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: if you watch the ESPN thirty for thirty thing they
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: did a few years ago, tell you is a sport
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: because they train. So if you train for something, that
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: makes it a sport.
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: No, So it's a competition, So that doesn't it's disgusting.
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: It's not a sport, it's it's it's a joke. So
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: if I trained every day to stab myself and just
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: accept I'm gonna stab myself in the gut and just
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: see how much pain I can take, is that a sport?
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Is that a competition?
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: What is that? But if there were other people stabbing
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: themselves in the stomach in your garage and you did it,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: I tell you what.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: Every day I'm gonna train, I'm gonna pull a tooth
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: out with plyers?
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Is that cool? Stupid? Stupid people gorging themselves with hot dogs.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: It's disgusting and it's stupid.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Can we be honest, though, we be honest? Yes, you
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: could use it on your bottom, bottom jaw, you could
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: use one. You could use one of those.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: As we're looking right now, a video of our own
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: little I mean, this wasn't even the competition. This was
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: a voluntary, willful act by Mark Boser during a commercial
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: break at training camp last year, downing fourteen donut holes
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: in a span of two minutes.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: I do think, well it was. It might not be
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: a sport, but Mosher was competing. He was racing against time.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, against the clock's the commercial.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Break, Yeah, here's one more. Oh by the way, Ovechkin
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: is not retiring. No, he's coming back to the Caps
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: on a one year deal at four point twenty five.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: They also got Alex Tuck, they got Cairo. The Caps
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: have done some stuff man, the capsure. The caps are
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: basically saying we want to be back in business. Pretty impressive,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: I'm I guess I'm surprised, pleasantly surprised. I don't know
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: what's they They all of a sudden looked like a
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: formidable team again.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: You just know, by the way, just quickly, what the
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: attendance was for the Rockies over the weekend three game
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: homestand Friday, Saturday Sunday.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: It's well, they had fireworks. You think they're the only
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: ones that had fireworks, right, so sellouts.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: They had to be one hundred and twenty thousand people.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Well it's fireworks weekend.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course one hundred and twenty thousands.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: I've done that before the wh I was in here.

  Speaker 2: What were the rules?
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Could nobody like set off fireworks?
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Is that?
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: What the wrong?
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: We couldn't We usually have a fireworks show up here,
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: and we couldn't do it here on no Jefferson County fireworks.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: I heard a lot of them got canceled.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well around my neighborhood, we got that here to
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: that I live in the cuts.
• 41:49

• 41:55
  Speaker 3: our ring update thing neighborhood and thing the park was
• 41:59

• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Okah.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: Can I defend dogs for a second. You guys cast
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: me as anti dog and I'm not. I don't know
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: how your dogs react to fireworks, But are two dogs bad?
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: I mean it's nasty. What it's bad, it's torturous. Do
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: we really have to do fireworks until two or three.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: In the morning?
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Insane? Am I am? I gone? Have I gone full bloomer?
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: The last ones I heard were about eleven fifteen at night.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: My wife went on our back patio.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: There's someone that lives right behind us here that was
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: throwing fireworks up into the wee hours of the morning.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: And don't want to get the queen mad.
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: She went out there and went ballistic on these people,
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: yelling at them.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: So I am somebody like you know how they responded
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: more fireworks? Yeah, I'm not somebody that's I'm actually against this.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: Don't be the neighbor who goes out and starts yelling
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: at people about fireworks when it's the fourth of July
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: and it's nighttime and it's like this is this is
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: what this thing is. Okay, if it's nine o'clock at night,
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: there's gonna be happening.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Just the thing.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: There is a limit that you gotta hit, though, there
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: is like you start to get into the am hours,
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: it's like, all right, time to put them away. Take
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: out your sparklers if you want to. Those are fine.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: By a snake.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: Do a strobe light for all I care. You don't need.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: You don't need, especially those ones that sound like a bomb.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know what those ones are, but the ones
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: that you see the flash first and then it's.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Like those one.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm not a big drone show kind of guy.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: In place of fireworks. I'm really not.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: Midnight it's a good time for a drone show though.
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. I saw the drone show in Boston this weekend.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: It's cool, man, that was flipping amazing.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: You were in Boston.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: No, I saw the video online of the drone show
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: in Boston. It was incredible. Yeah, I'll send it to you.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: It was amazing.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, every day at eight forty five
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: get back to uh. Some of the biggest stories here,
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: including the red card that wasn't.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: You know drones don't expe well, some drones explode, but
