0:34
SPEAKER_00: First and foremost, welcome to class.
0:36
SPEAKER_00: If you've never been here before, this is the classroom where we talk about all things sports, but the girls, the gayest of days, and the straightmen who don't know that they're not knowing they don't know anything about sports.
0:44
SPEAKER_00: And I have here my handy dandy notes of all the things we're going to be discussing.
0:49
SPEAKER_00: And spoiler alert, it's a lot.
0:51
SPEAKER_00: All right, so let's just get right into class.
0:54
SPEAKER_00: Somebody asked, will this be recorded?
0:56
SPEAKER_00: Yes, all the Hoops for Hardy's live shows are recorded and posted on YouTube at 7 p.m.
1:00
SPEAKER_00: Eastern on the same day that I record, as well as post it to all podcast audio platforms.
1:06
SPEAKER_00: So if you're driving to work or whatever and you want to listen to our class session, then you can do so.
1:11
SPEAKER_00: Someone said my skin is glowing, y'all.
1:13
SPEAKER_00: Um, I use road today for the first time.
1:16
SPEAKER_00: I use Road Hailey Bieber's makeup line, and it's literally like a highlight milk and a blush.
1:23
SPEAKER_00: And I like feel so good about myself right now.
1:26
SPEAKER_00: Like, period.
1:26
SPEAKER_00: I I recorded a whole video about my road experience for my Mariah Off Duty page.
1:31
SPEAKER_00: If you follow that and you want to see my get ready with me's and stuff, follow me there.
1:34
SPEAKER_00: But anyways, y'all aren't here for that.
1:36
SPEAKER_00: Y'all aren't here for my beauty.
1:38
SPEAKER_00: Let's get into the sports.
1:40
SPEAKER_00: Okay, first and foremost, we have to go through our hot girl headlines.
1:44
SPEAKER_00: To be honest, there is so much going on right now.
1:46
SPEAKER_00: Just off the top of my head, the NBA finals were what a time to be alive.
1:53
SPEAKER_00: I mean, one of the best NBA finals experiences I've had since 2016.
1:58
SPEAKER_00: No, no, like it was one of those finals that felt very, you couldn't miss a game.
2:06
SPEAKER_00: And from Jordan Wood's bag to Carl Anthony Towns' incredible performance in game one to Jalen Brunson's incredible performance in game five, throwing up 45 points, bitch.
2:19
SPEAKER_00: 45 points to win the series.
2:22
SPEAKER_00: It was just incredible.
2:23
SPEAKER_00: And I saw a crazy stat that the New York Knicks were leading in like 27% of the series.
2:29
SPEAKER_00: Like the Knicks were barely winning.
2:31
SPEAKER_00: They only won when it counted.
2:33
SPEAKER_00: And those fourth quarters, and I think Jalen Brunson went so crazy in game five because game five is like one long fourth quarter.
2:42
SPEAKER_00: Like a closeout game is just one long fourth quarter.
2:44
SPEAKER_00: So, like that entire scenario is made for him.
2:47
SPEAKER_00: This team, I I not to pat myself on the back, but I said that the finals were going to be Knicks Spurs, and I also said that the Knicks were gonna win in five.
2:59
SPEAKER_00: So I'm feeling good today.
3:01
SPEAKER_00: I'm feeling good today.
3:03
SPEAKER_00: Coming out of the finals, Victor Wabinyama, Victor Wabinyama, Victor Wapinyama has an interesting little reputation on him coming out of the finals.
3:11
SPEAKER_00: He didn't shake hands of any of the Knicks players after the game, and then he told the media, see and ever.
3:19
SPEAKER_00: Like, excuse me, like, look, the see and ever, I think he was just being sassy and childish, but they're not shaking hands.
3:27
SPEAKER_00: I've seen a lot of people say, why should they have to shake hands during sports?
3:32
SPEAKER_00: Like, it's so unnecessary.
3:33
SPEAKER_00: Shaking hands in sports is ridiculous.
3:35
SPEAKER_00: I don't have to shake your hand.
3:36
SPEAKER_00: And I just think shaking hands in sports is one of those gestures that yes, we can compete.
3:41
SPEAKER_00: Yes, we can, you know, but like there's a certain level of respect there that I think that we should hold against our competitors, and shaking hands is just one of those things.
3:48
SPEAKER_00: On top of that, the season wasn't a failure for the Spurs.
3:51
SPEAKER_00: Okay, the season wasn't a failure for the Spurs.
3:53
SPEAKER_00: Second youngest team to ever be in the NBA Finals.
3:55
SPEAKER_00: Victor Wominyama is in the NBA Finals in his first playoffs ever.
3:58
SPEAKER_00: It wasn't a failure.
3:59
SPEAKER_00: I just don't see I understand being mad.
4:01
SPEAKER_00: I don't think you should be happy when you lose the finals, but what is there to be so fucking pissed about?
4:06
SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't understand.
4:09
SPEAKER_00: Like, you went farther than any, like a lot of people expected y'all to lose earlier.
4:12
SPEAKER_00: You guys are way ahead of schedule.
4:14
SPEAKER_00: You in certain terms aren't supposed to be in this position this early, anyways.
4:18
SPEAKER_00: It's not like you were wronged.
4:20
SPEAKER_00: You guys had a 29-point lead in game.
4:22
SPEAKER_00: What was that game for?
4:24
SPEAKER_00: And blew it.
4:25
SPEAKER_00: That that's no one's fault but your own.
4:27
SPEAKER_00: I say put your head up high, shake the hands, be mad, but I just thought that that was a little, I thought that that was immature and unnecessary, in my opinion.
4:35
SPEAKER_00: And he could have shown respect to his fellow competitors and teammates.
4:39
SPEAKER_00: Speaking of respect, we'll get back into the mix in a minute, you guys.
4:43
SPEAKER_00: So don't cuss me out, okay?
4:44
SPEAKER_00: Like, we have to talk about the World Cup, right?
4:46
SPEAKER_00: I mean, bitch, we have to talk about the World Cup.
4:48
SPEAKER_00: I wasn't locked in to start off at first, like I wasn't fully locked in.
4:53
SPEAKER_00: The finals really took up a lot of my space and my brain.
4:58
SPEAKER_00: Honestly, these NBA finals were so addicting to me.
5:00
SPEAKER_00: But I do, for those who aren't paying attention to the World Cup, want to give you guys a little bit of rundown of what the hell is going down.
5:07
SPEAKER_00: So the favorites stumbled a little bit in round one.
5:10
SPEAKER_00: Brazil, Spain, and Portugal all dropped points and draws, two of them against massive underdogs.
5:16
SPEAKER_00: Congo DR held Ronaldo's Portugal to historic one-one draw.
5:23
SPEAKER_00: Tie.
5:23
SPEAKER_00: A tie.
5:24
SPEAKER_00: Messi did something he'd never done.
5:26
SPEAKER_00: He scored a hat trick, which means, guys, which means three goals.
5:32
SPEAKER_00: Let me know, chat.
5:33
SPEAKER_00: Let me know, chat, if I let me know, chat, if I didn't fuck that up.
5:36
SPEAKER_00: You know what I'm saying?
5:38
SPEAKER_00: He scored a hat trick.
5:39
SPEAKER_00: He's three goals.
5:40
SPEAKER_00: Listen, bitch.
5:41
SPEAKER_00: I did a whole episode last week.
5:43
SPEAKER_00: If you didn't see my episode last week, go tune in.
5:45
SPEAKER_00: What are we doing?
5:46
SPEAKER_00: I did a whole episode last week breaking down the World Cup.
5:48
SPEAKER_00: Okay, bitch.
5:49
SPEAKER_00: I broke down the teams.
5:50
SPEAKER_00: I explained it as if it were a beauty pageant.
5:52
SPEAKER_00: So I broke down the World Cup already last week.
5:54
SPEAKER_00: We're not we're not getting into that right now.
5:56
SPEAKER_00: But to score three goals in a World Cup game is crazy for one person and very GOAT-like.
6:04
SPEAKER_00: Um, Argentina, where Messi plays, all right?
6:06
SPEAKER_00: The blue and white, the light blue and the white for my girlies who don't pay attention, right?
6:10
SPEAKER_00: They are trying to repeat in the World Cup.
6:12
SPEAKER_00: They won it last time in 2022, and nobody's repeated, I think, since like the 50s or something crazy like that.
6:18
SPEAKER_00: Like it's very, very difficult to repeat in the World Cup, and they are making a run for that.
6:23
SPEAKER_00: Um, so shout out to Messi.
6:25
SPEAKER_00: And a win against Algeria.
6:27
SPEAKER_00: This is wow! He tied a record of 16 World Cup goals in his sixth World Cup.
6:35
SPEAKER_00: 16 World Cup goals for Messi.
6:37
SPEAKER_00: I know that's right.
6:38
SPEAKER_00: Listen, for those who I guess we'll get into this a little bit later in the show, but actually, fuck it.
6:45
SPEAKER_00: Fuck the plan.
6:46
SPEAKER_00: Let's talk about it right now.
6:48
SPEAKER_00: My thing is when it comes to Americans in football, obviously we don't have a culture for the sport.
6:54
SPEAKER_00: And it is not Americans' fault that we are hosting the World Cup in the Americas, okay?
7:00
SPEAKER_00: In Canada, Mexico, and the United States of A.
7:04
SPEAKER_00: I it's not our fault.
7:06
SPEAKER_00: I think football, aka soccer is like the sport that you try first.
7:11
SPEAKER_00: You know, ever everybody's parents puts them in football slash soccer first just to see if they're good at it.
7:16
SPEAKER_00: And if they're not, they move them on to something else.
7:18
SPEAKER_00: That's like that's kind of like our experience with the sport.
7:21
SPEAKER_00: And honestly, for me as an American, until I took a trip to Paris and I went to PSG versus Man City with Nike, I had my first experience at a European football game and a European football atmosphere, and it sits down, pulls down its pants, and takes a giant shit on our sports environment.
7:43
SPEAKER_00: And I think there's a lot about the sport that a lot of us aren't privy to because we have a very different culture around sports in America.
7:51
SPEAKER_00: And again, you guys who know a lot about football, correct a bitch if she's wrong.
7:57
SPEAKER_00: But football is a working class sport in other countries, and it contributes to the environment being so good because the people who are there are actually fans.
8:06
SPEAKER_00: And I don't know how true this is, but it seems to be that they don't price out real fans of the sport.
8:13
SPEAKER_00: And somebody in the chat is talking about American college football being comparable, but I would disagree.
8:19
SPEAKER_00: As someone who went to an SCC school, I went to Georgia.
8:22
SPEAKER_00: Sanford Stadium is fucking buzzing, and that is the closest thing I would compare it to with.
8:27
SPEAKER_00: But I don't think you guys understand.
8:28
SPEAKER_00: These people are on their feet going, oh, like the entire fucking game.
8:34
SPEAKER_00: Like they have songs that they sing the whole game that they sometimes rehearse at like bars and stuff beforehand, and sometimes they just make it up on the spot.
8:45
SPEAKER_00: And also to make things crazier, bitch.
8:47
SPEAKER_00: No liquor.
8:47
SPEAKER_00: Ain't no liquor in that bitch.
8:49
SPEAKER_00: Yep.
8:50
SPEAKER_00: Sit on that for a second.
8:52
SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
8:52
SPEAKER_00: Chew on that for a second.
8:54
SPEAKER_00: No lick.
8:55
SPEAKER_00: There was like beer.
8:57
SPEAKER_00: And no one's getting out of their seats to like go get a beer, really.
9:01
SPEAKER_00: Everyone's in their seats the whole time.
9:03
SPEAKER_00: I felt awkward and I don't drink beer, so I didn't drink.
9:05
SPEAKER_00: I was very sober and I still had the greatest time.
9:08
SPEAKER_00: I felt weird getting up to like go pee because nobody was getting up the whole time.
9:14
SPEAKER_00: Like, and I'm not saying you need to have fun, you need to drink to have fun, but I do think a lot of the crazy sports environments we have in the USA are due to being off the lick.
9:23
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
9:24
SPEAKER_00: And they're not even off that lick, and it's still better, right?
9:27
SPEAKER_00: They genuinely love their teams.
9:29
SPEAKER_00: And to be supporting a sport where they might score one time the entire game, if if at all, I don't think our P our little P brains in America can can take that, or our short ass attention spans can take that.
9:42
SPEAKER_00: I don't, I don't, I don't.
9:44
SPEAKER_00: And I think a lot of tourists have come to America and are upset that Americans aren't as excited about the World Cup as they are.
9:52
SPEAKER_00: And I saw a video of a European man in America, I think he was in Atlanta actually, talking about how he was in a store and he was asking the people about do you even like the World Cup, the World Cup?
10:03
SPEAKER_00: And they're like, what?
10:03
SPEAKER_00: Like, girl, cool.
10:05
SPEAKER_00: Like nobody's really gaggy about it, and it's probably very disappointing.
10:10
SPEAKER_00: I think, bitch, hold on, I have it in my notes.
10:14
SPEAKER_00: Just to break down how big this shit is, the World Cup is the biggest sporting event on the entire planet.
10:22
SPEAKER_00: It's like over a billion people tune into the World Cup and like 12 million people watch the Super Bowl.
10:29
SPEAKER_00: Bitch, in Brazil, they literally get out of school to watch the fucking World Cup.
10:35
SPEAKER_00: Like it's it's crazy, it's tea.
10:36
SPEAKER_00: And I'm not gonna get into everything I've learned about the World Cup yet because I'm not supposed to be talking about that yet.
10:40
SPEAKER_00: So I'm not doing too much.
10:42
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, it's Americans just don't care.
10:44
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I because this is my job, I could name a player on the team on Team USA.
10:49
SPEAKER_00: Otherwise, I wouldn't.
10:52
SPEAKER_00: And and even though I could probably name them, if if a USA soccer player walked down the street, I mean I wouldn't.
11:00
SPEAKER_00: He's not getting the same reaction as LeBron.
11:02
SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's not.
11:05
SPEAKER_00: I mean, if you're at a bar and LeBron James and a USA national men's team soccer player walk in at the same time, who who are you taking a picture with first?
11:14
SPEAKER_00: You can only take a picture with one.
11:16
SPEAKER_00: Like, who cares?
11:18
SPEAKER_00: Who cares?
11:19
SPEAKER_00: So I don't know.
11:19
SPEAKER_00: I I understand that the other countries are upset that we, you know, aren't fucking freaking the hell out about football being in the US, but baby, we got that big ass orange man at office.
11:30
SPEAKER_00: People can't afford eggs, things are crazy here.
11:33
SPEAKER_00: In case you can't tell the by the conditions here, it's ghetto.
11:36
SPEAKER_00: Actually, don't be fooled by the conditions.
11:38
SPEAKER_00: If you're if you're a European tourist in America, don't be fooled by the conditions.
11:41
SPEAKER_00: They cleaned up because company was coming over.
11:43
SPEAKER_00: It ain't usually like this.
11:44
SPEAKER_00: All right, bitch.
11:45
SPEAKER_00: All right.
11:46
SPEAKER_00: Now, we'll talk more about the World Cup and all the tea.
11:49
SPEAKER_00: I've learned about it a little bit later, but I'm I'm catching you up still.
11:52
SPEAKER_00: Okay, the other superstars of the World Cup showed up too.
11:54
SPEAKER_00: Mbappe scored twice against Senegal and broke France's all-time scoring record.
11:59
SPEAKER_00: I also want to talk about Cape Verde.
12:04
SPEAKER_00: I mean, did you guys see Cape Verde?
12:06
SPEAKER_00: A nation with just over 500,000 people in it, and their first World Cup tied Spain a favorite to win the tournament.
12:16
SPEAKER_00: Cluck that, bitch.
12:18
SPEAKER_00: And it's not like they tied like 1-1 and they let Spain score.
12:21
SPEAKER_00: They didn't score at all, bitch.
12:23
SPEAKER_00: They didn't score at all.
12:24
SPEAKER_00: And they're in their goalie, him.
12:27
SPEAKER_00: We'll talk more about that in a minute.
12:28
SPEAKER_00: England looks scary.
12:29
SPEAKER_00: Harry Kane scored twice in a 4-2 win over Croatia and Team USA.
12:34
SPEAKER_00: Bitch.
12:35
SPEAKER_00: So I know we talked about the fact that Team USA, you know, we don't know those men.
12:40
SPEAKER_00: Sorry to that man.
12:41
SPEAKER_00: I don't know you.
12:43
SPEAKER_00: I may not know what they look like, but one thing I do know about Team USA, men's soccer, is they weren't gonna win the World Cup.
12:50
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I mean, we all know that soccer in America, I think even the trumpy misogynists that like hate my existence because I'm a woman and I just so happen to be black as well.
13:00
SPEAKER_00: Like, God, they like when I walk across the street, even those people can agree.
13:04
SPEAKER_00: Soccer in the USA, leave it to the girls.
13:07
SPEAKER_00: Leave it to the girls.
13:09
SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay, leave it to the girls.
13:11
SPEAKER_00: That's been the case for a long time, bitch.
13:14
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I remember Megan Rapino and them fighting for equal pay, and they like, don't nobody even buy their fucking jerseys.
13:21
SPEAKER_00: These niggas are so ass.
13:23
SPEAKER_00: They don't win nothing, nothing, nothing.
13:26
SPEAKER_00: Pay us what you owe us, ho.
13:28
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I I I'm very aware of the impact of the women in this country when it comes to the football world.
13:34
SPEAKER_00: So, whenever I'm talking about football being mediocre in the US of A, I am not referring to the ladies.
13:41
SPEAKER_00: Know that.
13:42
SPEAKER_00: Check that.
13:43
SPEAKER_00: Never referring to them.
13:44
SPEAKER_00: It's net it never gave men's sport.
13:47
SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry, it never gave men's sport.

17:05
SPEAKER_00: Welcome to Tea Time where I spill the tea on all things going on in the sports world.
17:10
SPEAKER_00: And today I am going to be talking about the World Cup and all of the tea surrounding it.
17:17
SPEAKER_00: Because, bitch, here's my thing.
17:18
SPEAKER_00: When it comes to learning a new sport, okay, and I do want to address this for a second.
17:22
SPEAKER_00: I want to get a little controversial for a second.
17:24
SPEAKER_00: Start screen recording.
17:26
SPEAKER_00: I might get myself canceled.
17:26
SPEAKER_00: I'm just kidding.
17:27
SPEAKER_00: I do want to say I told you guys I was going to be covering the World Cup.
17:31
SPEAKER_00: And I am, okay?
17:32
SPEAKER_00: To be honest, I am suffering from severe burnout from the NBA finals.
17:37
SPEAKER_00: I had the stomach bug and a kale salad coming out of both ends of my body through the set the NBA finals.
17:43
SPEAKER_00: And I'm also covering Love Island USA on my second page.
17:46
SPEAKER_00: So I was literally talking all day long.
17:49
SPEAKER_00: I was making like 10 videos a fucking day.
17:50
SPEAKER_00: I'm making 10-minute long Love Island recaps.
17:53
SPEAKER_00: I'm making finals debriefs.
17:54
SPEAKER_00: I'm making pre-show finals things.
17:56
SPEAKER_00: I'm making finals videos every fucking day.
17:57
SPEAKER_00: I got sick of talking.
17:58
SPEAKER_00: So this week I had my like hiatus from speaking, right?
18:01
SPEAKER_00: But I am gonna be covering the World Cup.
18:03
SPEAKER_00: I announced this on Instagram, bitches are like, you we don't follow you for soccer.
18:07
SPEAKER_00: Isn't this hoops for hotties?
18:09
SPEAKER_00: We follow you for basketball.
18:10
SPEAKER_00: Stay, shut up and dribble, bitch.
18:13
SPEAKER_00: And here's my thing, okay?
18:14
SPEAKER_00: I understand that football is a sport with a rich tradition that people really love, and it is super incredible, and it's super popular outside of the USA, and we are so stupid in American and we don't know anything about it, and whatever.
18:31
SPEAKER_00: And I understand Europeans are in the USA and they're pissed that people don't care, and they're pissed that people don't know, and they're pissed that people can't learn.
18:37
SPEAKER_00: But here's the thing: I started my page purely out of a love for sport.
18:43
SPEAKER_00: And when it comes to the biggest sport in the fucking world, okay, the biggest sporting event in the fucking world, over a billion people watch this shit.
18:52
SPEAKER_00: 10 to 12 million watch the Super Bowl.
18:54
SPEAKER_00: But try to imagine that comparison in your fucking mind, okay?
18:56
SPEAKER_00: When it comes to the biggest sporting event in the world, as a person who loves sports, no, I may not know a thing or two about the football world.
19:04
SPEAKER_00: Last time it was the World Cup, I was 22, which means I was in college and I was probably drunk.
19:09
SPEAKER_00: I was probably drunk for most of the time.
19:12
SPEAKER_00: You y'all were talking about the World Cup, so I don't, I didn't fucking know what was on the TV.
19:16
SPEAKER_00: And then the time before that, I was 16.
19:19
SPEAKER_00: I was b, I might as well have been a baby.
19:21
SPEAKER_00: And before that, I was 12.
19:22
SPEAKER_00: So the World Cup has never come at the right time for me to really give a fuck.
19:27
SPEAKER_00: And I look, I'm not gonna lie to y'all.
19:29
SPEAKER_00: I'm never gonna come on here and lie to y'all and pretend I gave a fuck about something that I don't.
19:32
SPEAKER_00: I've never given a fuck about the World Cup at all, ever in my life.
19:35
SPEAKER_00: I I I I I rub my friends back when Brazil lost.
19:38
SPEAKER_00: That's that's okay, that's about it.
19:40
SPEAKER_00: However, now that it's 2026, I'm 26 years old, my full-time job is to talk about sports and to teach women about what's going on in the sports world and make sports more accessible for other people.
19:51
SPEAKER_00: I am not going to sit by and just allow the World Cup to pass and I don't get involved.
19:58
SPEAKER_00: I'm very interested.
20:00
SPEAKER_00: I have a thirst for knowledge about it.
20:02
SPEAKER_00: I want to learn the football world, and especially after attending the PSG Man City match that I attended with Nike in Paris, I really am understanding how big this is and what a beautiful game it is.
20:12
SPEAKER_00: And I really do appreciate it.
20:14
SPEAKER_00: I also went to the um the professional women's soccer league championship uh with that Trinity Robin was playing in, Washington Spirit, and I had the time of my life.
20:26
SPEAKER_00: Like I genuinely enjoyed watching the game.
20:29
SPEAKER_00: It like almost felt relaxing like watching them kick it back and forth.
20:32
SPEAKER_00: I always thought I'd be bored by the fact that they don't score much, but it's almost like it makes it that much sweeter when they do.
20:38
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
20:38
SPEAKER_00: I did I got bit by the football bug.
20:40
SPEAKER_00: What can I say?
20:41
SPEAKER_00: And now I have an interest in learning about the sport.
20:43
SPEAKER_00: So, no, when I talk about the World Cup, I am not coming from a place of thinking I'm a fucking expert or know it all or like I'm holier than that.
20:50
SPEAKER_00: No, I'm not coming from that place at all.
20:52
SPEAKER_00: But what I will not do is box myself into just speaking about one game because that's what you guys are comfortable seeing me talk about.
20:59
SPEAKER_00: Because at the end of the day, this is my creative lane, okay?
21:04
SPEAKER_00: My social pages.
21:05
SPEAKER_00: And what makes me feel creative is learning about new things.
21:08
SPEAKER_00: When I first started covering the NFL, the first video I made, I didn't know shit fuck all about football.
21:13
SPEAKER_00: And y'all were like, yeah, you're so wrong, you're so wrong, you're so wrong.
21:16
SPEAKER_00: And I just kept doing it and practicing.
21:17
SPEAKER_00: Now I fucking love the NFL.
21:19
SPEAKER_00: Fucking love the NFL.
21:21
SPEAKER_00: So I will not allow the gatekeepers to keep me out of the football world.
21:26
SPEAKER_00: I am going to kick the gate down and I am going to learn, bitch.
21:29
SPEAKER_00: And the way I learn and I take an information is by being messy, ho.
21:33
SPEAKER_00: It's by being messy, hoe.
21:34
SPEAKER_00: I like drama.
21:35
SPEAKER_00: I like drama and I like mess.
21:37
SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry.
21:37
SPEAKER_00: You're not gonna get me into the game at first by telling me stats.
21:40
SPEAKER_00: I the stats come later.
21:42
SPEAKER_00: Okay, you're gonna get me, you're gonna get me involved by telling me who's fine, who's wearing what, who's who, who's does this, who's got a story.
21:51
SPEAKER_00: That's what I'm gonna care about, bitch.
21:52
SPEAKER_00: So right now, if you're anything like me, if you're anything like me, and you learn about the sports world.
22:00
SPEAKER_00: Through the lens of the tea, bitch.
22:03
SPEAKER_00: I am going to give you the World Cup tea.
22:05
SPEAKER_00: And this is just everything that I've compiled that has been on my for you page and my timeline that I've taken in about the World Cup that's been interesting to me.
22:14
SPEAKER_00: And please let me know in the chat if I forget anything and I leave anything out because you know I'm new to the sport.
22:21
SPEAKER_00: So I might not have seen all the stories in the tea.
22:23
SPEAKER_00: So, first and foremost, I want to talk about the USA World Cup opener.
22:28
SPEAKER_00: So, what I've learned is these World Cup openers are like very drama, right?
22:34
SPEAKER_00: It's like very the the famous people from that country go, and it's like there's a performance and it's a whole song and dance and the national anthem, and it's very beautiful, honestly.
22:45
SPEAKER_00: It's very beautiful.
22:46
SPEAKER_00: And something that really pissed me off is I believe during the Mexican uh homeowner, or not home opener, but oh I guess home opener.
22:52
SPEAKER_00: But they're in the Mexican opener game when match.
22:56
SPEAKER_00: You see that?
22:56
SPEAKER_00: You see that?
22:57
SPEAKER_00: How they would try to get me.
22:58
SPEAKER_00: They would try to get me, bitch.
23:00
SPEAKER_00: Not a game, a match.
23:02
SPEAKER_00: During the Mexican match, they like cut to commercial.
23:06
SPEAKER_00: They like cut to commercial when they were doing their like Mexican ceremony whole situation.
23:16
SPEAKER_00: That shit is so grimy and slimy and nasty and dirty.
23:18
SPEAKER_00: What the fuck?
23:19
SPEAKER_00: I wanna see the ceremonies.
23:21
SPEAKER_00: I wanna see every part of it.
23:22
SPEAKER_00: One of my favorite Aw shit.
23:25
SPEAKER_00: Somebody said the Knicks are going to the White House.
23:27
SPEAKER_00: I I need to do further investigation.
23:30
SPEAKER_00: I'll get back to that.
23:31
SPEAKER_00: Uh, chat, can we look into this Knicks going to the White House situation and let me know what's tea?
23:36
SPEAKER_00: Because I yeah, we're gonna have to talk about it.
23:39
SPEAKER_00: You guys talk about the Knicks and the I'll tell you about the tea from the World Cup.
23:43
SPEAKER_00: Alright.
23:43
SPEAKER_00: So they cut the commercial break during the Mexican ceremony.
23:46
SPEAKER_00: I didn't like that.
23:47
SPEAKER_00: Very grimy, very slimy, very not cute.
23:49
SPEAKER_00: However, one thing that really gagged me from the USA opener for the World Cup, Katy Perry performed at the open ceremony.
24:00
SPEAKER_00: Damn, I ain't seen her since she's gone to space.
24:02
SPEAKER_00: Katie, Katy Perry still, Katy Perry still released some music.
24:07
SPEAKER_00: Last I heard from Katy Perry, she was Republican and then she went to space.
24:11
SPEAKER_00: Okay, and now she's in a relationship with the Prime Minister of Canada.
24:15
SPEAKER_00: That's all I know about what Katy Perry got going on.
24:17
SPEAKER_00: Okay, performing at the opening ceremony, I mean the most watched sporting event in the world.
24:22
SPEAKER_00: We couldn't find anybody the fuck else, bitch.
24:26
SPEAKER_00: Anybody?
24:27
SPEAKER_00: Come on, America.
24:29
SPEAKER_00: Other than Katy Perry?
24:30
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I don't know.
24:32
SPEAKER_00: I don't know how I feel about that.
24:33
SPEAKER_00: But that's neither here nor there.
24:35
SPEAKER_00: Let me let me leave Katie alone because Katie did have hits back in the day.
24:38
SPEAKER_00: Listen.
24:39
SPEAKER_00: Katie did have hits back in the day.
24:41
SPEAKER_00: You know what I'm saying?
24:42
SPEAKER_00: I hopefully she performed Teenage Dream, but she didn't.
24:44
SPEAKER_00: She performed some song called Wonder, I think.
24:47
SPEAKER_00: Whatever, bitch.
24:47
SPEAKER_00: Katie Perry performed at the opening ceremony, and then she watched the match in the stands with her boyfriend, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
24:55
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
24:58
SPEAKER_00: Doesn't Canada have an opener too?
25:00
SPEAKER_00: Isn't Canada also hosting the World Cup?
25:03
SPEAKER_00: Are there any Canadians in the chat?
25:05
SPEAKER_00: Because is that not weird?
25:08
SPEAKER_00: Like, shouldn't you be in Canada?
25:10
SPEAKER_00: Like, could her mama have not come to her to that?
25:12
SPEAKER_00: Because here's my thing.

25:21
SPEAKER_00: He came to watch his partner, he's a supportive partner.
25:23
SPEAKER_00: But I'm just like, I could have brought my home girl with me to the World Cup performance, and you could have gone to your own countries.
25:30
SPEAKER_00: It is it's different, it's different when you're just like if it were Justin Bieber and Haley Bieber were a singer and she was performing at the World Cup opener and he were there to support her as her husband, whatever, because he's Justin Bieber.
25:45
SPEAKER_00: He wasn't the fucking prime minister.
25:47
SPEAKER_00: That's like Barack Obama going to the opener in Canada because Michelle was Canadian or something.
25:52
SPEAKER_00: Like that just wouldn't.
25:53
SPEAKER_00: I just don't, I just don't, I just think that that was weird.

26:24
SPEAKER_00: I it reminded me a lot of when Tate McCrae.
26:26
SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you guys remember this.
26:27
SPEAKER_00: Tate McCrae is also Canadian and she very much claims Canada.
26:31
SPEAKER_00: As far as I know, like I knew she was Canadian.
26:33
SPEAKER_00: You know when you don't really know if somebody's Canadian?
26:35
SPEAKER_00: But like I knew that Tate McCrae was Canadian, and I don't even know her songs.
26:38
SPEAKER_00: So, but she did a commercial for the Olympics.
26:43
SPEAKER_00: What was the commercial for again?
26:45
SPEAKER_00: Oh, it was a Team USA commercial.
26:48
SPEAKER_00: Duh.
26:48
SPEAKER_00: She did a commercial and she's like talking to an owl and she's like, I need to get to Team USA.
26:53
SPEAKER_00: And then she, well, I will, you know, I will give her the bitch is bad.
26:57
SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry.
26:58
SPEAKER_00: In that commercial, you like usually Tate McCrae, I'm like, you know, cool.
27:02
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, unless she's dancing, I'm like, all right.
27:04
SPEAKER_00: But in that commercial, I was like, bitch is bad.
27:08
SPEAKER_00: Bitch is bad.
27:09
SPEAKER_00: She was glowing, she looked stunned, she looked stunned, she was eating the hoes up, she looked gorgeous.
27:14
SPEAKER_00: But doing a team USA commercial as a Canadian is just a little much for me.
27:20
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I don't want to, I don't want to hear y'all say nothing if Brazil wins the World Cup and I'm on a float at the parade butt naked.
27:26
SPEAKER_00: But if I when I'm in Brazil celebrating the World Cup badong, I don't want to hear nothing.

28:37
SPEAKER_00: Let me not piss, let me not piss the football fans off.
28:40
SPEAKER_00: But I thought Justin Trudeau being at the USA opener was fucking weird.
28:43
SPEAKER_00: I don't care.
28:43
SPEAKER_00: I don't fucking care, bitch.
28:44
SPEAKER_00: I thought that was weird and OD.
28:46
SPEAKER_00: And I think Katie Perry is weird too.
28:47
SPEAKER_00: And I think the whole thing is weird.
28:49
SPEAKER_00: Sorry, nothing against multicultural relationships, but that was an avoidable situation.
28:53
SPEAKER_00: She could have brought mama to sport, okay?
28:54
SPEAKER_00: She could have brought Bessie's to sport.
28:56
SPEAKER_00: She could have brought anybody to sport.
28:57
SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry.
28:58
SPEAKER_00: I thought that was a little OD.
28:59
SPEAKER_00: Now, Tyla sang, I think she sang the National Ant, South African national anthem, right?
29:04
SPEAKER_00: And she had like a nice little custom outfit down.
29:07
SPEAKER_00: You know, the World Cup song started a lot of beef and a lot of drama and a lot of a lot of tea.
29:13
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
29:14
SPEAKER_00: And I personally, you know, I think it's hilarious that we heard that god-awful Jeep commercial.
29:23
SPEAKER_00: I have a Jeep.
29:24
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so I'm not like being rude, but it did sound like a Jeep commercial.
29:27
SPEAKER_00: Jelly roll song.
29:29
SPEAKER_00: Never felt this free before.
29:32
SPEAKER_00: What?
29:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
29:34
SPEAKER_00: You're white in America.
29:36
SPEAKER_00: I'm sure you've never felt this free before.
29:38
SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
29:39
SPEAKER_00: Side eye.
29:41
SPEAKER_00: That was weird.
29:41
SPEAKER_00: And then they called him the big guns.
29:43
SPEAKER_00: Shakita, Shakita.
29:45
SPEAKER_00: And she she ate the bitches up.
29:50
SPEAKER_00: Well, Burnaboy, yeah.
29:52
SPEAKER_00: And then Tyla was rapping with Future.
29:55
SPEAKER_00: And I'm I'm not gonna lie, I really liked the snippet that I heard on Instagram.
30:00
SPEAKER_00: And then I was like, this is a little corny.
30:02
SPEAKER_00: This sounds a little bit like you know when rappers make music for a movie soundtrack and the rap sounds like Netflix music?
30:11
SPEAKER_00: Like it's like, yeah, I'm the guy, and I'm gonna beat your best, and I'm gonna kick the ball in the net every time.
30:18
SPEAKER_00: That song kind of gave me that.
30:20
SPEAKER_00: I don't know, like the head of Tyler's verse.
30:22
SPEAKER_00: I think she said, You don't want to see me go beast mode.
30:25
SPEAKER_00: Isn't that what she said?
30:26
SPEAKER_00: She was like, You don't want to see me go beast mode.
30:28
SPEAKER_00: I was like, that was a little, I don't know, it was a little carny, and I like Tyla, so not too much, but but but still better than the other song.
30:36
SPEAKER_00: But the World Cup songs, ever since that fucking, I don't know, Confederate leader ass World Cup song that came out of America, they they they definitely improved, improved, improved, improved, improved.
30:50
SPEAKER_00: Also, uh, David and Victoria Beckham shared a VIP sweet moment with Tom Cruise.
30:54
SPEAKER_00: David and Victor Victoria Beckham.
30:56
SPEAKER_00: I mean, Victoria Beckham, the original WA, the most iconic, never wore his fucking jersey, bitch.
31:02
SPEAKER_00: You would literally never catch Victoria Beckham in you would never, y'all would never catch Victoria Beckham in those jeans with it with his name on the butt.
31:13
SPEAKER_00: You know what I'm saying?
31:15
SPEAKER_00: Like with the name on the butt, with the number.
31:16
SPEAKER_00: Like Victoria Beckham was not doing it.
31:18
SPEAKER_00: She was not having that shit.
31:20
SPEAKER_00: She was not.
31:21
SPEAKER_00: And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the jeans, the with the painted name on the butt.
31:25
SPEAKER_00: I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the Wags wearing that, okay?
31:28
SPEAKER_00: I'm not.
31:29
SPEAKER_00: But but Victoria Beckham wouldn't be goddad.
31:32
SPEAKER_00: That she wouldn't be goddad.
31:34
SPEAKER_00: So shout out to the original Wag for being at the game.
31:36
SPEAKER_00: Also out, some celebrities, Paris Hilton, Toby Maguire, Superman, or Spider-Man.
31:41
SPEAKER_00: Hold on, Spider-Man.
31:43
SPEAKER_00: Hold on.
31:44
SPEAKER_00: Spider-Man, Sophia Vergara, Owen Wilson, Sophia Vergara and Owen Wilson.
31:49
SPEAKER_00: That sounds like a rom com is about to come out.
31:51
SPEAKER_00: And Tom Brady at the Brazil game.
31:53
SPEAKER_00: Another thing I want to talk about.
31:55
SPEAKER_00: Speaking of World Cup songs and performances, another piece of tea I want to discuss, Shakira's opening ceremony performance.
32:02
SPEAKER_00: Was that Shakira?
32:04
SPEAKER_00: I mean, let's keep it above.
32:04
SPEAKER_00: Was that Shakira?
32:05
SPEAKER_00: Because it looked like a body devil.
32:07
SPEAKER_00: It looked like a body devil.
32:08
SPEAKER_00: And and the hips weren't lying, but they were like getting around the truth a little bit.
32:13
SPEAKER_00: Like the hips weren't lying, but they were definitely not sincere.
32:18
SPEAKER_00: No Love Island.
32:19
SPEAKER_00: They they definitely I was like, is I know that ain't my girl.
32:23
SPEAKER_00: And I know she looked young, but I was like, it gave clone.
32:28
SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry.
32:29
SPEAKER_00: It really gave, it really gave clone.
32:31
SPEAKER_00: Another thing I want to discuss from the World Cup is the tourists visiting the United States.
32:37
SPEAKER_00: I I've fallen in love with watching tourists visit the United States for the World Cup.
32:44
SPEAKER_00: Like Freddie from Germany specifically, he went, he he went everywhere.
32:49
SPEAKER_00: Fredd from Germany was outside.
32:51
SPEAKER_00: When I first saw Freddie from Germany, I was like, this is AI.
32:54
SPEAKER_00: This is not a real person.
32:55
SPEAKER_00: This is AI.
32:56
SPEAKER_00: This is some fucking, they're messing with us.
32:58
SPEAKER_00: What is the Twitter AI shit?
32:59
SPEAKER_00: Grok, like, this is not real.
33:01
SPEAKER_00: Like, I didn't believe it at first.
33:03
SPEAKER_00: And then I kept seeing it everywhere.
33:04
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, oh my god, Freddie is so outside.
33:07
SPEAKER_00: He rated Waffle House a 10 out of 10 restaurant.
33:09
SPEAKER_00: And for that, I have respect for him.
33:12
SPEAKER_00: Because I also think Waffle House is a 10 out of 10 restaurant, bitch.
33:15
SPEAKER_00: Like the fact that people from Europe come to the United States and their first stop is a fast food joint in Walmart is hilarious to me.
33:26
SPEAKER_00: It's just like that is so American culture.
33:29
SPEAKER_00: And you know, I as a raging liberal saw a lot on my feed of other people like myself saying it's because of capitalism and and it is.
33:38
SPEAKER_00: It's all capitalism, baby.
33:39
SPEAKER_00: That's all we got.
33:40
SPEAKER_00: It's all capitalism, baby.
33:41
SPEAKER_00: But something about it just made me feel real American.
33:45
SPEAKER_00: Because you know, when you go to Europe, what do you miss from the United States?
33:48
SPEAKER_00: I mean, me personally, I miss AC, I miss ice, I miss unlimited water refills, and I miss fast food.
33:54
SPEAKER_00: And I don't even eat fast food like that.
33:56
SPEAKER_00: But something about spending too much time in Europe, maybe it's like the fast food chemicals infiltrating my brain as like I'm an addict or something, like being like GMOs, where are the GMOs?
34:07
SPEAKER_00: But I start, I'm like, I need a touchdown in the A and I need to hit Chip-A-Mediately.
34:12
SPEAKER_00: Like, I I came back from Mexico craving Chipotle.
34:15
SPEAKER_00: Because I and you would think that you've been eating Mexican food for a week.
34:20
SPEAKER_00: Why are you craving Chipotle?
34:22
SPEAKER_00: Because I don't want real Mexican food.
34:24
SPEAKER_00: I don't want I don't want real Mexican food.
34:27
SPEAKER_00: I want I want Mexican food that tastes like a McDonald's, a McDonald's chef made it.
34:33
SPEAKER_00: Let me not do Chipotle because I'm Chipotle gang down.
34:35
SPEAKER_00: Throw up you big C's.
34:36
SPEAKER_00: But you know what I mean.
34:38
SPEAKER_00: I start craving the genetically modified chemicals.
34:41
SPEAKER_00: I start throw craving a chicken thigh that was made in the lab.
34:44
SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry I do.
34:46
SPEAKER_00: And unfortunately for these Europeans visiting for the World Cup, y'all all gonna go back to your country's big, big as hell, bigger than bigger than Charles Barclay.
34:54
SPEAKER_00: Bigger than Charles Barclay thinks the women are in San Antonio, big, giant.
34:58
SPEAKER_00: Y'all all gonna go back home big, eating all that damn food.
35:01
SPEAKER_00: We don't even eat all that damn food.
35:03
SPEAKER_00: I mean, gosh.
35:04
SPEAKER_00: Why why does no one come to the United States and want to try Joe in the juice?
35:08
SPEAKER_00: Why does no one want to come to the United States and want to try tropical smoothie?
35:12
SPEAKER_00: Y'all all running straight to the fucking to Ah Wendy's! Oh my god, it's Wendy's! Whoa! Have some decorum, bitch.
35:19
SPEAKER_00: Have you tried sweet green?
35:21
SPEAKER_00: Fuck! I mean uh somebody take somebody take Freddie from Germany to sweet green.
35:28
SPEAKER_00: Shit.
35:29
SPEAKER_00: Damn.
35:30
SPEAKER_00: I mean, all that Waffle House for breakfast, Wendy's for lunch, and a chili dog for dinner from fucking the varsity.
35:37
SPEAKER_00: I don't nobody eats that.
35:39
SPEAKER_00: Nobody eats that.
35:41
SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
35:42
SPEAKER_00: Somebody in the chat said, I'm from Toronto and we drive across the border just to go to Chili's.
35:46
SPEAKER_00: Very valid.
35:47
SPEAKER_00: I mean, it is really beautiful that in America you can get a 35,000 calorie meal for seven dollars and eat it all in one sitting and still be hungry.
35:59
SPEAKER_00: Right?
35:59
SPEAKER_00: It is beautiful that as soon as you sit your butt down, this is my favorite thing I saw from a European coming to visit for the World Cup when they went to a Mexican restaurant because I love Mexican food.
36:13
SPEAKER_00: And just to hear the beauty of the Mexican restaurant experience from someone who doesn't get that every day.
36:20
SPEAKER_00: I mean, you sit down chips and salsa for free.
36:23
SPEAKER_00: As soon as you sit down, you don't have to do anything to earn that food.
36:26
SPEAKER_00: They just give it to you.
36:27
SPEAKER_00: They just fill you up with all those calories.
36:31
SPEAKER_00: I love America.
36:33
SPEAKER_00: And I wonder how they feel about the water just constantly being refilled.
36:37
SPEAKER_00: Because in Europe, if y'all haven't been to Europe, they don't refill your water or put ice in it.
36:40
SPEAKER_00: They give you a cup this big, they give you a cup this big, they fill it up about this much, and then you have to literally like chase your waiter down the street to get them to refill it.
36:51
SPEAKER_00: Like it's really, really odie.
36:54
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
36:54
SPEAKER_00: Um, another World Cup moment that really sent me to the moon was when Speed was sitting next to Mayor Mondami and had no idea he was the mayor, and his chat had to tell him.
37:03
SPEAKER_00: Mondami was like, I listen to your World Cup song every morning, dude.
37:06
SPEAKER_00: And he was like, and you are?
37:10
SPEAKER_00: Lord, oh my gosh.
37:12
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
37:13
SPEAKER_00: Another, another thing I wanted to talk about that I learned from the World Cup is guys, can we talk about Japan?
37:20
SPEAKER_00: Can we just like can we talk about Japan?
37:23
SPEAKER_00: So if you didn't know, the Japanese, when they come to the World Cup, they wave these like blue bags in the air while they cheer, okay?
37:31
SPEAKER_00: Like they wave these blue bags in the air, like woo woo woo.
37:34
SPEAKER_00: And one could look at them and be like, Why are you waving those bags in the air?
37:36
SPEAKER_00: What's going on?
37:37
SPEAKER_00: I'm scared.
37:38
SPEAKER_00: Bitch, they stay after the game to clean up.
37:43
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna cry.
37:44
SPEAKER_00: They stay after the game to clean up after themselves.
37:47
SPEAKER_00: They take their trash bags and after the game, they stay after to clean up the stadium because they feel so grateful to be here.
37:55
SPEAKER_00: They're like, we are so it's it is that it's such an honor to be here that we would never leave trash behind.
38:04
SPEAKER_00: Talk about leaving every place you go better than you found it.
38:07
SPEAKER_00: The Japanese, I mean that bitch, that is classy.
38:12
SPEAKER_00: That is classy.
38:13
SPEAKER_00: When American tourists make make headlines in other countries, it's usually because like they killed their best friend or something, or like something crazy happened.
38:23
SPEAKER_00: Like it's like something embarrassing and sick and like twisted and gross and sad and causes mourning and depression, and leaving that place worse than we found it.
38:32
SPEAKER_00: And the Japanese said, we won't even leave trash behind in a stadium.
38:35
SPEAKER_00: Do you know how much trash Americans leave behind in a stadium?
38:39
SPEAKER_00: And they also have their team write a handwritten thank you note and leave it in the locker room at the stadium they play in, in the native language of the place that they play.
38:49
SPEAKER_00: Do you know how classy that is?
38:53
SPEAKER_00: Like, I I I thought that that really ate.
38:56
SPEAKER_00: I thought that really ate.
38:58
SPEAKER_00: I like that.
38:59
SPEAKER_00: I do really like that.
39:00
SPEAKER_00: And you know, another beautiful part about the World Cup is seeing the reactions to our stadiums because we do have some really amazing stadiums in the United States.
39:07
SPEAKER_00: I do love our stadium in Atlanta, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, that they're calling Atlanta Stadium because they can't like the rights and blah blah.
39:14
SPEAKER_00: Like they literally covered the Mercedes-Benz logo up with like a FIFA World Cup thing.
39:18
SPEAKER_00: But the best gotta be SoFi.
39:20
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I can only imagine coming from Europe and going into SoFi Stadium and being like, what the fuck is this?
39:27
SPEAKER_00: Like, our stadiums really are incredible and we are spoiled.
39:32
SPEAKER_00: We are spoiled.
39:33
SPEAKER_00: Us and our Red 40 and our calories and our fast food joints and our Mexican food where we get chips and salsa for free, we we can be very raggedy on America.
39:44
SPEAKER_00: Myself especially, not myself included, myself especially.
39:47
SPEAKER_00: I lead the club of shitting on America.
39:49
SPEAKER_00: And while we do have a lot of problems, I mean, if you if you're gonna take into account the political and economic state of the world right now and shit, while we do have a lot of problems, we do have a lot of fast food joints and beautiful stadiums.
40:01
SPEAKER_00: So ain't that the beauty of capitalism, baby?
40:04
SPEAKER_00: I love that for us.
40:05
SPEAKER_00: I love that for us.
40:06
SPEAKER_00: They definitely ate with that, and I thought that that was really classy and sweet.
40:10
SPEAKER_00: Now, we're gonna move on to our next segment: the hot girl lesson of the day.
40:14
SPEAKER_00: And we are going to keep on the theme of talking about the World Cup because I have to talk about Cape Verde.
40:19
SPEAKER_00: I have to talk about this.
40:20
SPEAKER_00: I have to talk about this because I can't stop thinking about this shit.
40:25
SPEAKER_00: So we have to talk about Cape Verde.
40:27
SPEAKER_00: So Cape Verde pulled off the shock of the tournament so far.
40:31
SPEAKER_00: In their World Cup debut, okay, their first World Cup ever, they tied Spain, the European champions, and one of the title favorites, to a zero to zero draw in their group H opener in Atlanta.
40:45
SPEAKER_00: It's being called one of the biggest shocks of the World Cup.
40:49
SPEAKER_00: This is like a David and Goliath story, which I think is like a theme in the sports world right now, as Spain is like one of the favorites to win the tournament overall, and Cape Verde is in the tournament for the first time.
41:01
SPEAKER_00: Like, one of their players got recruited on LinkedIn to be on the team.
41:07
SPEAKER_00: Like, it's this is crazy.
41:10
SPEAKER_00: But what makes it even crazier is Spain took 27 shots, okay?
41:14
SPEAKER_00: Like they tried to score a goal 27 times to Cape Verde's six, okay?
41:19
SPEAKER_00: They put seven on target, which means that they put seven at the net and hit the crossbar, but couldn't get a single one past their 40-year-old goalkeeper, Vozinha.
41:33
SPEAKER_00: He made a string of brilliant stuff.
41:35
SPEAKER_00: You guys gotta watch the video.
41:37
SPEAKER_00: Like, you gotta watch the video.
41:38
SPEAKER_00: You've got to watch the video of him like blocking all of those shots.
41:43
SPEAKER_00: Absolutely insane.
41:45
SPEAKER_00: This man is 40 years old, and I think a lot of times when we hear these like really incredible sports stories where we have like a new person in the sports world to fall in love with, it's like a 25-year-old.
41:56
SPEAKER_00: And as somebody who is 25, and honestly, like I think allow age a lot more than I used to, thinking that he is accomplishing his biggest dream at 40, and the world is just getting to know him, is really inspiring to me personally.
42:12
SPEAKER_00: But on top of that, okay, just put this in perspective for you Cape Verde is a nation of just over 500,000 people.
42:19
SPEAKER_00: They are the third smallest country by population to ever qualify for a World Cup.
42:23
SPEAKER_00: The goalie, Vozinha, for Cape Verde had 45,000 followers on Instagram going into the World Cup.
42:31
SPEAKER_00: He currently has, and the story, listen, a lot of the stories you hear say 8 million, 6 million.
42:36
SPEAKER_00: As of this current moment, right now, he has 13.5 million followers.
42:42
SPEAKER_00: He has 13.5 million.
42:45
SPEAKER_00: He went from 45,000 followers to 13.5 million followers in like less than a week, bitch.
42:54
SPEAKER_00: Do you know how many people that is?
42:56
SPEAKER_00: There's 500,000 people in K for a day.
43:01
SPEAKER_00: I mean, that has to mean every single one of them follows him on Instagram, and then he still has 13 million more followers.
43:08
SPEAKER_00: That just shows you the gravity of the World Cup.
43:11
SPEAKER_00: Just to put it in perspective for you, Jalen Brunson has 1.8 million followers.
43:16
SPEAKER_00: Okay, he's not global enough.
43:18
SPEAKER_00: Let's let's do Victor Wimanyama.
43:19
SPEAKER_00: Wimby has 6.2 million followers.
43:22
SPEAKER_00: This man has double, double, double the followers that Victor Wimanyama has after one great game in the World Cup.
43:32
SPEAKER_00: What an incredible story.
43:33
SPEAKER_00: And to take it a step further, the reason I call him Vozinha, and sorry if I'm pronouncing any of this wrong, I see something in the chat.
43:38
SPEAKER_00: It's not Verde, it's Verde Cape Verde.
43:42
SPEAKER_00: Let me know if that's right.
43:43
SPEAKER_00: But one of my favorite parts about this story is that he said he was emotional after the game and was basically saying that like he would love to have his grandparents here, that and blah blah blah.
43:54
SPEAKER_00: His name, Vozinha, is it means Granny's boy or something like that.
43:58
SPEAKER_00: It's like it's like granny's boy, it's like a mama's boy.
44:00
SPEAKER_00: But like for your Grammy.
44:01
SPEAKER_00: Um, because the kids used to call him that and like to make fun of him, and now it's his nickname and Instagram handle that has 13.5 million people following it.
44:09
SPEAKER_00: And on top of that, he was upset after the game that his mom couldn't come because they couldn't afford it because of like visas and all that drama, you know?
44:17
SPEAKER_00: Bitch, his mom is gonna get to come to the World Cup.
44:20
SPEAKER_00: His mom is gonna get to come to the World Cup.
44:23
SPEAKER_00: His mom is gonna get to come to the World Cup now because of all of this.
44:28
SPEAKER_00: Tell me that's not the power of sports.
44:32
SPEAKER_00: Like, that is like bringing families together, bitch.
44:34
SPEAKER_00: Someone in the chat said he said he was going to retire after this year, also.
44:38
SPEAKER_00: Hope well, I think we all hope he doesn't because what a beautiful, beautiful, and positive story.
44:43
SPEAKER_00: This man has 13.5 million followers.
44:45
SPEAKER_00: And you know what, bitch?
44:46
SPEAKER_00: Do I follow him?
44:47
SPEAKER_00: Because maybe I should.
44:48
SPEAKER_00: You know what?
44:49
SPEAKER_00: Maybe I fucking should follow Vosina.
44:51
SPEAKER_00: This is so crazy because no one I know even follows him.
44:54
SPEAKER_00: I don't have any mutuals with him.
44:55
SPEAKER_00: And he still has 13.5 million.
44:58
SPEAKER_00: Just insane.
44:59
SPEAKER_00: Just absolutely insane.
45:00
SPEAKER_00: And they earned it.
45:01
SPEAKER_00: And so what a what a beautiful first World Cup to experience.
45:05
SPEAKER_00: Now, you guys, lastly, before I go, this would usually be the time that I take calls, but I've already been on here for like an hour.
45:12
SPEAKER_00: Let's talk about the Knicks winning the championship.
45:14
SPEAKER_00: Um, the New York Knicks won the NBA championship, and it's fucking insane.
45:19
SPEAKER_00: I've been seeing a lot of drama about whether or not they're gonna go to the White House, and I need to look into that because are they going to the White House?
45:25
SPEAKER_00: Like, Knicks.
45:27
SPEAKER_00: Okay, here's what's tea about the Knicks and the White House, all right?
45:30
SPEAKER_00: The Knicks, this is according to the New York Times.
45:32
SPEAKER_00: The Knicks accept an invitation to celebrate their title to go to the World Cup.
45:37
SPEAKER_00: Or, bitch, I got too much yucking going on, bitch.
45:42
SPEAKER_00: Okay, the Knicks accept a White House invitation to celebrate their title.
45:46
SPEAKER_00: James Dolan, the owner, who is very controversial in and of itself.
45:49
SPEAKER_00: I could do, I could do a whole deep dive on James Dolan and the controversy that surrounds the Knicks, but I won't do that right now and yuck their yum.
45:55
SPEAKER_00: He's very proud.
45:56
SPEAKER_00: James Dolan said he was very proud to bring his championship team to Washington.
45:59
SPEAKER_00: It'll be the first NBA team to visit the White House with Trump as president.
46:04
SPEAKER_00: Wow.
46:05
SPEAKER_00: Did you guys know that Adam Silver donated thousands of dollars to Kamala Harris in her when she was running?
46:12
SPEAKER_00: Wow.
46:13
SPEAKER_00: James Dolan got married at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Resort.
46:18
SPEAKER_00: Bitch, he's a drop, he's a Trump dick rider, basically.
46:21
SPEAKER_00: And he said he knows he's known him for 30 years and he's so excited.
46:24
SPEAKER_00: The players, I don't think the players will go.
46:26
SPEAKER_00: I think Mitchell Robinson has been dying for this moment for his entire life because he is a Trump supporter.
46:31
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
46:31
SPEAKER_00: So Mitchell Robinson, I could see going.
46:33
SPEAKER_00: Uh Carl Anthony Towns, I don't think he'll do that.
46:36
SPEAKER_00: I just don't think he'll do that.
46:36
SPEAKER_00: I don't think he'll do that.
46:37
SPEAKER_00: I have faith in him that he won't do that.
46:39
SPEAKER_00: I hope Jalen Brunson doesn't go.
46:41
SPEAKER_00: I hope Josh Hart doesn't go.
46:42
SPEAKER_00: He's already tweeted about Trump being a dumbass.
46:44
SPEAKER_00: I I would hope any husband of mine wouldn't go.
46:47
SPEAKER_00: Shit.
46:47
SPEAKER_00: Sorry.
46:48
SPEAKER_00: Like, and on top of that, like to be the first ones to go is is kind of more of a statement.
46:54
SPEAKER_00: Like at this point, it's like, let's just not, you know?
46:57
SPEAKER_00: So I don't think that and they only the only game they lost was because he brought his ass.
47:01
SPEAKER_00: Actually, wait.
47:02
SPEAKER_00: Oh my fucking god.
47:03
SPEAKER_00: Oh my fucking god.
47:04
SPEAKER_00: James Dolan, you fucking suck.
47:06
SPEAKER_00: You invite Trump, you invite Trump to the finals, a sitting president, the first sitting president ever to go to an NBA finals game.
47:15
SPEAKER_00: You wreak havoc over the whole vibes and energy energy of the game.
47:19
SPEAKER_00: I interviewed Monica McNutt on Wednesday, who works for MSG and she covers the Knicks very closely.
47:25
SPEAKER_00: And she talked about she had trouble getting into the game because security was so tight and her entrances were blocked and her credential and it was a whole drama.
47:34
SPEAKER_00: Like she really talked about how it did throw off the whole routine of the players, of the staff, of the people covering the game.
47:42
