- 0:00Speaker 1: Yeah, that.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Chuck Norris was chasing the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
- 0:05Speaker 3: The rex was not chasing the jeep.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Murray, Murray, you there. You love sandwiches. Huh, Let's go
- 0:11Speaker 2: to eighty.
- 0:13Speaker 3: It was bo wow that Prime Time.
- 0:17Speaker 4: Maybe I had a crush on Betty Rubble.
- 0:19Speaker 2: I honestly, until after the segment ended and we went
- 0:22Speaker 2: to a commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan Coachman
- 0:25Speaker 2: was black.
- 0:25Speaker 3: He caught them the game last night, although they won
- 0:28Speaker 3: the game. You're listening to to Gods in Company.
- 0:32Speaker 2: It is To Gods and Company presented by FanDuel and
- 0:34Speaker 2: the Fan Duel Sportsbook. My apologies to Israel goody Eras,
- 0:37Speaker 2: who's at studio with me today, because I smell like
- 0:40Speaker 2: an airplane.
- 0:41Speaker 4: Oh that's what that is.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Smell that, man, You're in Connecticut. You could smell it
- 0:46Speaker 3: from there.
- 0:46Speaker 4: I mean it stinks.
- 0:48Speaker 3: It does I stink? I feel like I stink? Do
- 0:51Speaker 3: I smell?
- 0:51Speaker 4: Azzie I hasn't reached me yet. I will prepare my
- 0:55Speaker 4: old factory glands for your stinch.
- 0:57Speaker 2: I wonder here Taylor has a tear for the World Cup.
- 1:01Speaker 2: I am all over this. Lebron James possibly going to
- 1:05Speaker 2: the Golden State Warriors. We will get to that in
- 1:08Speaker 2: just a second, but I want to talk to two
- 1:10Speaker 2: Yankee fans and see how they experience their team being
- 1:14Speaker 2: swept by the Boston Now, the Yankees are having a
- 1:16Speaker 2: good season. They're plus one oh one in run differential.
- 1:20Speaker 2: They're a good baseball team. But my guess is Taylor
- 1:23Speaker 2: and mikey A had a very difficult weekend? Is he
- 1:26Speaker 2: because the Yankees were swept by the Red Sox for
- 1:29Speaker 2: the first time since twenty eighteen, So Taylor had you
- 1:33Speaker 2: absorb that over the weekend.
- 1:35Speaker 5: By far, my least favorite Yankee team of all time.
- 1:37Speaker 5: It's been established it is the worst forty eight and
- 1:41Speaker 5: thirty five baseball team in baseball history. Stu, you say
- 1:44Speaker 5: this team is good, Yeah, this is not a good
- 1:46Speaker 5: Yankee team by by New York standards. They're good because
- 1:49Speaker 5: the Mets are that big of a mess right now.
- 1:52Speaker 5: This Yankee team is a mess, and once Aaron Judge
- 1:55Speaker 5: goes out, you kind of see all the flaws this
- 1:57Speaker 5: team has. I don't want to. Why'd you bring me here?
- 1:59Speaker 5: I don't want to. I wish the World Cup could
- 2:02Speaker 5: go till October so I didn't have to watch this
- 2:04Speaker 5: Yankee team.
- 2:05Speaker 2: So I have preshious few opportunities to uh to do
- 2:08Speaker 2: this to you, and so I am taking the opportunity
- 2:10Speaker 2: right now to do it to you.
- 2:11Speaker 3: Mikey A had you experience it this?
- 2:16Speaker 6: They didn't just get swept by the Red Sox. They
- 2:18Speaker 6: got swept by the last place Red Sox. They were
- 2:21Speaker 6: getting beaten so bad. Not only that Sonny Gray had
- 2:25Speaker 6: them no hit into the seventh. That is not only
- 2:28Speaker 6: a Red Sox no hitter, that is not only a
- 2:31Speaker 6: mediocre pitcher, but that's a former Yankee has done nothing
- 2:35Speaker 6: but shit on the Yankees since he left about how
- 2:38Speaker 6: bad they are no hitting you into the seventh.
- 2:41Speaker 4: This is a This is a Yankees.
- 2:42Speaker 6: Team that if Derek Jeter were dead, he'd be rolling
- 2:46Speaker 6: over in his grave because this is I got an
- 2:49Speaker 6: email from the Yankees saying enter now for a chance
- 2:52Speaker 6: to win a Delan Betansis autographed ball. Who the fuck
- 2:57Speaker 6: is Delan Betansis And why the hell do I.
- 3:00Speaker 4: Want to win an autographed ball from him? What happened
- 3:03Speaker 4: to the stars of this team? See when you get
- 3:06Speaker 4: why did you bring me here? And who the hell
- 3:08Speaker 4: is Dylan Btantis or whatever the hell that is yea,
- 3:11Speaker 4: that means Stu Gatz pressed the correct button. It's nowhere
- 3:14Speaker 4: on the topic sheet anywhere these Yankees. And yet that
- 3:17Speaker 4: is the most passion we've got out of Taylor and
- 3:19Speaker 4: Mikey on a Monday Uh probably ever, thank you.
- 3:22Speaker 5: So, just to answer Mikey A's question, Dylan Betances used
- 3:25Speaker 5: to be a Yankee reliever.
- 3:27Speaker 4: I know who Dylan Betantas is. He was supposed to
- 3:29Speaker 4: be the right handed Randy Johnson.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Taylor put it on the pole. Who the hell is
- 3:33Speaker 2: Dylan Betansas?
- 3:34Speaker 3: Yes or no?
- 3:38Speaker 2: And why are we doing an autograph ball for a
- 3:41Speaker 2: guy we barely know. I'm with Mikey on that.
- 3:43Speaker 3: I mean, I.
- 3:44Speaker 5: Believe he's on the S network. He's part of their
- 3:46Speaker 5: coverage of the pregamer post game one of those things.
- 3:49Speaker 4: Really, for an autograph, don't you have to know exactly
- 3:52Speaker 4: who it is by looking at the autograph? Like you
- 3:55Speaker 4: can't just have three or four letters and be like, wait,
- 3:57Speaker 4: who was that again? Who is dB? Did I get
- 3:59Speaker 4: Doris to sign my ball for some reason?
- 4:01Speaker 7: Unless it's not only that, yeah, well yeah, to send
- 4:05Speaker 7: it out to Yankee fans like this is some big
- 4:08Speaker 7: thing that Jay could win like, hey, hey, hey, we're
- 4:11Speaker 7: not going to give you front row seats.
- 4:13Speaker 6: We're not gonna give you dugout, We're not going to
- 4:15Speaker 6: give you access but to the field beforehand. We're gonna
- 4:18Speaker 6: give you a delan but Tantas signed ball. No thanks, Stu.
- 4:23Speaker 5: I texted Adnin yesterday. Adnan was doing Sunday Stretch. I
- 4:26Speaker 5: was giving him notes and telling him how great a
- 4:28Speaker 5: job he was doing. I texted him, season is over
- 4:32Speaker 5: if the Yankees lose tonight.
- 4:33Speaker 3: Yeah, so the season's over.
- 4:35Speaker 2: This coming from the guy who closed his eyes once
- 4:37Speaker 2: and couldn't see carlating them.
- 4:40Speaker 5: I'm not officially eliminating them. But Adnan then replied, four
- 4:44Speaker 5: games sweep to the team with the fewest home wins
- 4:47Speaker 5: in the majors would be horrific. Yeah, And then I
- 4:49Speaker 5: texted him after team is dead. It hurts to be
- 4:53Speaker 5: this right about a team I care about, Stu.
- 4:56Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a very good time to dance on
- 4:58Speaker 4: the grave if you assume they're dead. But I just
- 5:01Speaker 4: glanced at the standings. First of all, Marlin's pretty good. Yes,
- 5:05Speaker 4: pretty good. Yes, thank you for that.
- 5:06Speaker 2: And this Yankee team that they can't stand is one
- 5:08Speaker 2: game back in the AL East.
- 5:10Speaker 4: No, not only that's too run differential. Yes, guess who's
- 5:13Speaker 4: better than them in the American League? Nobody, nobody, nobody
- 5:17Speaker 4: buy a lot. In fact, the whole American League seems
- 5:20Speaker 4: to stink, is he?
- 5:21Speaker 5: This is the exact problem with the Yankees right now,
- 5:25Speaker 5: because everybody holds up like the Yankees all they're doing
- 5:28Speaker 5: well in the AL East, they're doing well in the
- 5:29Speaker 5: American League. This is the exact problem and why the
- 5:33Speaker 5: Yankees are in this position in the first place, because
- 5:36Speaker 5: everybody says all the Yankees are just gonna walk their
- 5:38Speaker 5: way to the World Series. Brian Cashman doesn't really have
- 5:40Speaker 5: to make too many moves. They're gonna get Max Freed back.
- 5:42Speaker 5: They're gonna get Garrett Cole back. News flash, Garrett Cole
- 5:45Speaker 5: since he's been back, has stunk.
- 5:47Speaker 3: Yeah, terrible. You guys still wondering why I brought it up.
- 5:50Speaker 3: I mean, I was never wondering.
- 5:53Speaker 4: I told you guys. That's good karma for Garrett Cole
- 5:55Speaker 4: for plunking that minor leaguer for hitting a home run
- 5:57Speaker 4: because he's petty.
- 5:59Speaker 8: They lead the league in run differential, third and third
- 6:04Speaker 8: in the game, and congratulations, you beat up on the
- 6:07Speaker 8: White Sox thirteen to nothing and then lose to any
- 6:11Speaker 8: good team by two.
- 6:12Speaker 4: That's how you get the best run differential.
- 6:14Speaker 2: I know, but I can't take what Taylor saying seriously. Again,
- 6:17Speaker 2: he closed his eyes once and he couldn't see carl
- 6:20Speaker 2: Land and he towns raising the Larry O'Brian, probably because
- 6:22Speaker 2: his eyes were closed.
- 6:23Speaker 5: Yes, I also said the Charlotte Hornets were going for
- 6:26Speaker 5: and I said Jalen Bruns and changed my life.
- 6:27Speaker 4: So two there ain't bad.
- 6:29Speaker 2: The Hornets are no longer going for it, that's obvious.
- 6:32Speaker 2: What do you mean, Well, I don't feel like they are.
- 6:33Speaker 2: I mean they're trading everyone.
- 6:35Speaker 4: They're trading. It feels like Conk Nipple is making these
- 6:39Speaker 4: decisions for the Hornet. He's trading away lamellow Ball, who's
- 6:44Speaker 4: the type of player you can just tell he doesn't
- 6:46Speaker 4: like to play with. And then Miles Bridges, You've had
- 6:48Speaker 4: a little bit of a history there. Not the greatest
- 6:50Speaker 4: guy when it comes to you know, if you just
- 6:51Speaker 4: look at what he's done. And so it's just like,
- 6:53Speaker 4: let's get Grayson Allen's available, Let's bring him on to
- 6:56Speaker 4: the Hornets.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Yes, Taylor put it on the ball as Conk Nipple
- 6:59Speaker 2: making all the decisions for the Hornets. It sounds absurd,
- 7:04Speaker 2: It really does. What caught your attention here over the
- 7:07Speaker 2: weekend with the NBA.
- 7:09Speaker 4: Look, what I'm not gonna do is allow Draymond Green
- 7:13Speaker 4: opting out of his contract to ruin my prediction, my
- 7:19Speaker 4: projection that Lebron James not only will be with the
- 7:23Speaker 4: Miami Heat, but absolutely should be with the Miami Heat
- 7:27Speaker 4: next year. Okay, if he is any sort of a
- 7:31Speaker 4: decent father, what better place to bring your second round
- 7:36Speaker 4: pick of a son to complete his development than the
- 7:39Speaker 4: team that is known for developing these talents. And a
- 7:45Speaker 4: team that not only will bring Bronnie James with Lebron,
- 7:49Speaker 4: but needs Bronnie James like this Miami Heat team needs
- 7:53Speaker 4: what he does defense and three point shooting. That's it, really,
- 7:57Speaker 4: And you bring Lebron James onto this team he does?
- 8:01Speaker 4: I mean forget the nostalgia like you immediately usurp is
- 8:05Speaker 4: that the right word? Jist Kompo and his joining of
- 8:08Speaker 4: the Miami Heat. By reuniting with the Miami Heat, Giannis
- 8:12Speaker 4: becomes almost a secondary right story. You got everything you want.
- 8:16Speaker 4: You become a championship pressure team and your boy gets
- 8:19Speaker 4: to participate and probably extend his career beyond you in
- 8:24Speaker 4: the place that his dad won his first two championships.
- 8:27Speaker 4: That story is way better than him playing with Steph
- 8:31Speaker 4: and getting knocked out in the Western Conference finals.
- 8:33Speaker 5: So Kevin O'Connor's report from Yahoo Sports Do was the
- 8:36Speaker 5: Warriors are looking to trade Jimmy Butler's contract for Anthony
- 8:40Speaker 5: Davis and then sign Lebron James.
- 8:42Speaker 3: Oh wow, I mean Golden State more like Olden State. Yes,
- 8:46Speaker 3: that's it.
- 8:47Speaker 4: So they're gonna break back the most fragile player in
- 8:50Speaker 4: the NBA with the oldest player in the NBA and
- 8:54Speaker 4: then say, hey, Steph Curry, maybe you can still carry
- 8:57Speaker 4: us in the time that these two guys can't play.
- 8:59Speaker 4: I don't think that's the way to go. Lebron.
- 9:00Speaker 3: What is is he doing here? He wants Lebron back
- 9:02Speaker 3: to the Heat. Huh?
- 9:03Speaker 4: Where else does it make that much sense for this? Yes,
- 9:07Speaker 4: Warriors second place, second place for places that make sense
- 9:10Speaker 4: for Lebron James number one easily, Miami Stude.
- 9:14Speaker 5: Don't even get me started with the heat in Lebron
- 9:16Speaker 5: James right now, because all the Heat reporters are tweeting
- 9:20Speaker 5: things like the Miami Heat are gonna consider Lebron James
- 9:24Speaker 5: with that fifteen million dollar mid level exception. Ethan Skolnick.
- 9:29Speaker 5: I hate to single out anybody, but Ethan Skolnick is
- 9:32Speaker 5: who I saw. Ethan Skolnick was like, the Miami Heat
- 9:35Speaker 5: will consider Lebron James. First off, Lebron taking the mid
- 9:38Speaker 5: level exception from anybody would be a massive discount and
- 9:42Speaker 5: something that kind of goes against everything that Lebron James
- 9:46Speaker 5: and Rich Paul kind of stand for in terms of
- 9:48Speaker 5: the players Union and Lebron getting a fair deal. But
- 9:52Speaker 5: stop making it seem like Lebron James is this charity
- 9:55Speaker 5: case where you're mentioning guys like Klay Thompson or you know,
- 10:00Speaker 5: Dean Wade, and then you're just slipping in Lebron James's
- 10:04Speaker 5: name like he isn't one of the top thirty best
- 10:06Speaker 5: players in the NBA still the and three oh five stands.
- 10:08Speaker 3: For old of that.
- 10:11Speaker 4: You're one hundred percent correct here, But listen, he's never
- 10:15Speaker 4: been or he's always been the pay me every dime
- 10:18Speaker 4: except for that one time with Miami. Pay me every
- 10:21Speaker 4: dime that I'm worth, because I'm worth more than that.
- 10:23Speaker 4: But this isn't about the money, Taylor, are you really
- 10:26Speaker 4: gonna go to Bronnie and say, hey, Bronnie, I would
- 10:29Speaker 4: have taken you with me to Miami, the best place
- 10:32Speaker 4: for you to develop, the best possible place for you
- 10:34Speaker 4: to get the rest of your career going, and you know,
- 10:37Speaker 4: made you put you in the best possible position and
- 10:39Speaker 4: still possibly won a championship. But Daddy needed another twenty
- 10:43Speaker 4: million dollars. Daddy needed to go to this team because
- 10:47Speaker 4: they had more money for me. I'm sorry, Bronnie.
- 10:50Speaker 3: I apologize. Guys.
- 10:51Speaker 2: There were a lot of words spoken there, a lot
- 10:53Speaker 2: of good points made. I'm certain I didn't hear one
- 10:55Speaker 2: of them. The only thing I've been stuck on since
- 10:57Speaker 2: it was said is that Ethan Skolnick is still doing
- 10:59Speaker 2: it like.
- 11:03Speaker 4: He's still at it. Huh, never stop always with the
- 11:05Speaker 4: insightful reporting. I mean, listen again, huge news If lebron
- 11:09Speaker 4: James takes a mid level exception, Taylor's looking at it
- 11:12Speaker 4: from the team perspective, but Ethan's reporting, hey, could happen.
- 11:16Speaker 4: Huge news.
- 11:17Speaker 3: The essen skull Knick stands for still doing it. I mean,
- 11:20Speaker 3: it's unbelievable, but.
- 11:21Speaker 5: He's not so much reporting that it could happen. Right,
- 11:25Speaker 5: Let's just be clear about one thing. Lebron James would
- 11:28Speaker 5: be considering the Miami Heat. The Miami Heat are not
- 11:31Speaker 5: considering Lebron mayeo potato.
- 11:34Speaker 2: They would still be married. Who cares who proposed to whom?
- 11:38Speaker 2: It takes two to tango, Taylor. I mean he is
- 11:40Speaker 2: right about that only one side is interested.
- 11:43Speaker 4: I mean, yep, I've been married before. I get very
- 11:47Speaker 4: very rarely do I get asked who proposed to whom?
- 11:49Speaker 4: Doesn't matter?
- 11:52Speaker 2: Up twenty five years in and there's still only one
- 11:54Speaker 2: side that's interested.
- 11:55Speaker 3: How about that?
- 11:57Speaker 2: Anyway, the World Cup is going on, so you want
- 11:59Speaker 2: the bron and Bronny to come to the Heat because
- 12:01Speaker 2: you think it's a good hit. I've never heard somebody
- 12:04Speaker 2: says it's Bronnie out to the league before we get
- 12:06Speaker 2: to the World Cup. I've never heard somebody say, and
- 12:11Speaker 2: is he you know as much basketball as anyone.
- 12:13Speaker 3: I know that a team needs something that Bronni brings
- 12:17Speaker 3: to the table.
- 12:18Speaker 4: I'm going to say, because the only thing he brings
- 12:20Speaker 4: to the tables is father. I'm gonna say it as
- 12:22Speaker 4: clear as I can say this. If Lebron James is
- 12:27Speaker 4: a good father. He will sign with the Miami Heat.
- 12:31Speaker 4: It's clear as day. It is what is best for
- 12:35Speaker 4: Bronnie James right, and Lebron James Hey as a secondary opportunity, Hey,
- 12:40Speaker 4: maybe you can win a championship with you?
- 12:42Speaker 5: Honest is he the basketball fan in you doesn't want
- 12:45Speaker 5: to just consider the possibility of the Steph, Lebron, A
- 12:49Speaker 5: D and Draymond Green and what that looks like.
- 12:51Speaker 4: I mean, Jesus, nowhere is Draymond Green in that? But
- 12:54Speaker 4: nowhere do I dream about watching Draymond Green do anything? Okay, secondarily, no,
- 13:00Speaker 4: I've seen it in the Olympics. I've seen In fact,
- 13:03Speaker 4: I don't want to ruin that like that was you
- 13:05Speaker 4: remember when we were watching it, It's like, Wow, it's
- 13:07Speaker 4: so cool, KD, Steph and Lebron. Now they're going to
- 13:09Speaker 4: play a year together and I'm going to tell you
- 13:11Speaker 4: right now spoiler alert, end up in disappointment. I don't
- 13:14Speaker 4: want to see that.
- 13:15Speaker 2: It's like a sequel to a movie you don't need.
- 13:17Speaker 2: No one asks for exactly. I mean, I'm with you
- 13:20Speaker 2: on that. What if the sequel, Well, the sequel could
- 13:23Speaker 2: be better In some cases, it is Rocky two was
- 13:25Speaker 2: better than Rocky I mean Rocky four.
- 13:28Speaker 4: We wanted.
- 13:32Speaker 3: You want clambering for it.
- 13:33Speaker 2: Yeah, but Taylor makes a good point. It is intriguing
- 13:38Speaker 2: to see if those four guys, if put together, if
- 13:41Speaker 2: they can make some sort of run of the West.
- 13:43Speaker 4: But this is Thank Godfather three because the first version
- 13:46Speaker 4: was before KD. The second version was KD. Oh you're
- 13:49Speaker 4: saying the Olympics was the first one and this is
- 13:51Speaker 4: the second one. Got you Okay?
- 13:52Speaker 5: It feels like there's two ways for their careers to end.
- 13:55Speaker 5: They kind of just go out said the Warriors don't
- 13:58Speaker 5: really add any pieces to Steph curR. Steph Curry ends
- 14:01Speaker 5: his career on a team that's fighting for a play in.
- 14:04Speaker 5: Or the Warriors could kind of push all the chips
- 14:06Speaker 5: that they have. Jimmy Butler included, Like Jimmy Butler when
- 14:09Speaker 5: he hears the names like Lebron and he's like, oh wow,
- 14:11Speaker 5: I'm gonna play with all these stars. I know, Jimmy Butler,
- 14:13Speaker 5: I hate to tell you, you're gonna be on your
- 14:16Speaker 5: way out and probably a buyout candidate for a contending team.
- 14:20Speaker 5: Or you could build a contender around or maybe a
- 14:23Speaker 5: contender like that team is old, but maybe they have
- 14:27Speaker 5: one last run in there.
- 14:28Speaker 4: But here's here's what the basketball fan and me wants
- 14:30Speaker 4: to see. Not you know, let's say sixty games of
- 14:33Speaker 4: Lebron James and Steph Curry playing together. It's one more
- 14:37Speaker 4: final series of Lebron James versus Steph Curry. Lebron James
- 14:40Speaker 4: with the heat he comes with giannis Steph Curry. They
- 14:44Speaker 4: build their other team around whatever. Let's say, Kawhi Leonard,
- 14:46Speaker 4: Kawhi Leonard, even though he's probably going to Toronto. They
- 14:49Speaker 4: build a team they get to the finals. Think about
- 14:51Speaker 4: that as a sequel like that is Part four, Part five,
- 14:55Speaker 4: and that one would be pretty dang good. Lebron versus
- 14:58Speaker 4: Steph in a final.
- 14:59Speaker 2: I think answers are increased by joining forces, though, don't you.
- 15:03Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to see those two guys
- 15:04Speaker 2: playing an NBA finals again, not against each other, just
- 15:07Speaker 2: playing an NBA finals again. The best chance they have
- 15:10Speaker 2: is with that team.
- 15:11Speaker 4: Statistically speaking, Lebron James in the Eastern Conference has a
- 15:14Speaker 4: far better chance of making the finals than he does
- 15:17Speaker 4: in the Western Conference. And so yeah, I think they
- 15:19Speaker 4: have a better chance of facing each other than it
- 15:21Speaker 4: would of going building or that super team around really
- 15:24Speaker 4: old and in one case and in one specific setting,
- 15:27Speaker 4: person rather Anthony Davis, super fragile Taylor.
- 15:30Speaker 2: If Lebron wanted to join the New York Knicks, would
- 15:32Speaker 2: you take him? I mean, just if he wanted to on.
- 15:35Speaker 5: The cheat, he would have to sound like a vet minimum.
- 15:38Speaker 5: We just brought back Jose Alvarado. I'm kind of worried
- 15:41Speaker 5: about the second April brought back Alverado, like a three
- 15:44Speaker 5: year deal, like fifteen million. If Lebron wants to take
- 15:47Speaker 5: that kind of deal, then yeah, I guess I guess
- 15:48Speaker 5: he could.
- 15:49Speaker 3: He'd have to beg you, right, he knew you personally.
- 15:51Speaker 5: Yeah, he could come back up Josh Hart and Bronny.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Don't forget Bronnie, right, Bronny in his defense, Yes, put
- 15:57Speaker 2: it on the poll with Lebron. James back up Josh
- 16:02Speaker 2: Lebron James on the Knicks?
- 16:03Speaker 4: Does he back up Josh Art? That is funny, man.
- 16:06Speaker 3: I'm not even certain Josh Art is good.
- 16:08Speaker 4: I still don't know if it's gonna makes sense. You
- 16:12Speaker 4: really want this that happen, No, it needs to happen.

- 18:15Speaker 2: Cup teams we've arrived at elimination rounds.
- 18:17Speaker 3: I like this. I'm tired of the group stages. You lose,
- 18:21Speaker 3: you go home. That's it. That's the deal, moving forward.
- 18:23Speaker 4: Less of the USA.
- 18:25Speaker 3: Yes, stay home, and we have music for the seven tiers.
- 18:27Speaker 2: By the way, you know what let's get to him
- 18:29Speaker 2: is he let's do it not you're thirty two Taylor seven?
- 18:34Speaker 3: Wow?
- 18:35Speaker 5: The first tier clock struck Midnight Cinderella.
- 18:39Speaker 3: Oh wow, so we're going for the ooh all right,
- 18:42Speaker 3: I think I can guess one here.
- 18:44Speaker 5: There's only one team in this tier, cap Verde.
- 18:47Speaker 4: Day, smaller than Rhode Island.
- 18:52Speaker 5: What they play Argentine in the round of thirty two.
- 18:57Speaker 5: It's uh, it's not gonna go well for them, but
- 19:00Speaker 5: it's a fun story.
- 19:02Speaker 3: I mean they made it.
- 19:03Speaker 4: How many goals for Messy in that one, Taylor? I
- 19:05Speaker 4: got a tea up like at least four to four.
- 19:07Speaker 5: It's it's a name, it's a name your goal game
- 19:09Speaker 5: for Messy.
- 19:09Speaker 4: I think he's got to build up that that resume,
- 19:11Speaker 4: build up that record.
- 19:12Speaker 3: You get a goal off the bench the other night.
- 19:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I know needed it too, because is coming.
- 19:18Speaker 3: Put it on the pole tailors and bope coming. Yeah.
- 19:22Speaker 4: He wants to win that balloon, doesn't he?
- 19:23Speaker 3: Yep, balloon door? You know that's all? Yeah?
- 19:28Speaker 4: Is he?
- 19:28Speaker 5: You're right that I was starting from the bottom. I
- 19:30Speaker 5: think I'm going to go back to the top now.
- 19:31Speaker 4: Okay, so that was the bottom, right, Okay?
- 19:34Speaker 5: The Contender Tier?
- 19:36Speaker 3: Oh wow?
- 19:38Speaker 4: Yeah, good question.
- 19:39Speaker 5: Three teams in the Contender Tier?
- 19:42Speaker 4: Wow? Only three?
- 19:45Speaker 3: Wow?
- 19:45Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 19:46Speaker 3: We guess or what do you want to Argentina.
- 19:48Speaker 4: I believe Argentina or the other half of CAP obviously, yep.
- 19:53Speaker 4: I mean you got in France. Spain's a questionable one.
- 19:57Speaker 5: France I believe, yeah, Mike, My, he hit it. France
- 20:01Speaker 5: is my overall one seed in this tournament. Spain is
- 20:03Speaker 5: the other one. Spain. What's floating between contender and pretender?
- 20:08Speaker 5: I like what I seen with Lamina mal whenever he's
- 20:11Speaker 5: out there for Spain. I think they're a different team
- 20:13Speaker 5: with him. So now I'm going to upgrade them to contender. Okay,
- 20:17Speaker 5: the pretender tier. The pretender tiers loaded.
- 20:20Speaker 4: Can I just say, since we mentioned Argentina, I'm so
- 20:22Speaker 4: glad they finally got to these kids, like they sold
- 20:25Speaker 4: them up for us right before the World Cup for
- 20:27Speaker 4: months and being like, hey, hey, these kids look great,
- 20:29Speaker 4: and they started the group stage and the ones from
- 20:31Speaker 4: last time didn't make any sense.
- 20:33Speaker 5: There's four teams in the pretender tier.
- 20:36Speaker 2: Okay, I think I have one of them.
- 20:41Speaker 5: Who's that.
- 20:42Speaker 3: United States of America.
- 20:44Speaker 4: I don't get that high. I think Brazil's in there.
- 20:47Speaker 3: I put him too high. Huh, Now I've got too far?
- 20:50Speaker 3: Is he bang on?
- 20:51Speaker 5: Brazil's in here?
- 20:52Speaker 4: All right, there's one might be guessing the rest of.
- 20:56Speaker 5: The the other three teams. I'll tell you Norway, No, Germany.
- 21:00Speaker 5: Germany is in the pretender because if they win this round,
- 21:04Speaker 5: they go against France in the round of sixteen. I
- 21:07Speaker 5: think that's kind of them.
- 21:08Speaker 4: I think I got your other two teams.
- 21:09Speaker 5: Who is it?
- 21:10Speaker 4: England and Portugal?
- 21:11Speaker 5: Bang on, Wow, I don't I don't trust this Portugal
- 21:15Speaker 5: team with Ronaldo. I think I think Ronaldo is just
- 21:17Speaker 5: a distraction at this point to the Portugal team and
- 21:20Speaker 5: then England. It's all about it's coming home. It's coming home.
- 21:23Speaker 5: It's spoiler, guys, It's not coming home.
- 21:26Speaker 3: Team.
- 21:27Speaker 4: Not if I'm playing against Portugal, you would get me
- 21:30Speaker 4: on so many goals just by faking it to Ronaldo
- 21:34Speaker 4: and giving it to anybody else because they are so
- 21:37Speaker 4: desperate to get that man the ball near the in
- 21:39Speaker 4: the box. It is effing embarrassing to watch.
- 21:42Speaker 3: How many tiers Leftier Taylor, We.
- 21:44Speaker 5: Have one, two, three, four, So I'm gonna go back
- 21:47Speaker 5: towards the bottom.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Confusing, all right, Okay, so the bottom tier was what again?
- 21:52Speaker 2: It was Cinderella's clock struck midnight and that was just one.
- 21:55Speaker 3: Team, just Cape verdet right, Okay, got it.
- 21:57Speaker 5: So the second bottom tier is called pack your bags.
- 22:01Speaker 3: Pack your bags tier.
- 22:02Speaker 4: Okay, the pack your bags I got one team in
- 22:04Speaker 4: this Okay, Bosnia.
- 22:07Speaker 5: One thousand percent Bosnia, pack your bags because America is
- 22:10Speaker 5: coming for you.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Wait, but if the clock struck, I feel like, is
- 22:13Speaker 2: he here if the clock struck midnight? Technically aren't they
- 22:16Speaker 2: packing their bags too? I mean they're in two tiers.
- 22:18Speaker 4: No check out if you can pack your bags the
- 22:20Speaker 4: next morning, yeah, okaytup midnight? Just mean, hey, sorry, is
- 22:24Speaker 4: a good question.
- 22:25Speaker 3: Thank you?
- 22:25Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna go. I love the follow up?
- 22:28Speaker 4: He does?
- 22:28Speaker 5: Who is that my key?
- 22:30Speaker 4: Ivory Coast?
- 22:31Speaker 5: No, every coast is not in this tier.
- 22:34Speaker 4: I gotta say, as a lot of people call it
- 22:37Speaker 4: doctor Congo, that's gotta be in this tier.
- 22:44Speaker 5: No, no, doctor Congo is in this tier.
- 22:47Speaker 4: Oh wow, they're packing their bags to later.
- 22:50Speaker 3: Doc.
- 22:52Speaker 4: Who Australia has to pay packing their bags?
- 22:55Speaker 5: No, they're not packing their bags. So this tier is one, two, three, four,
- 22:59Speaker 5: five sixty teams Paraguay, Sweden, right, doctor Congo, Austria, Bosnia.
- 23:06Speaker 5: I wrote Sweden twice.
- 23:08Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's five.
- 23:09Speaker 4: So Sweden's got to pack twice. They're they're overweight. They
- 23:15Speaker 4: gotta spread their stuff out into different bags. They got
- 23:17Speaker 4: to pack twice.
- 23:18Speaker 3: What are they doing? Sweden? They're packing, unpacking, then packing again.
- 23:21Speaker 4: I mean, yes, judge.
- 23:22Speaker 5: Sweden has France in the round of thirty two. That's
- 23:25Speaker 5: why they're double packing their bags and BOPA is packing
- 23:28Speaker 5: their bags and and.
- 23:29Speaker 2: Of course they stands for packing your bags exactly.
- 23:33Speaker 4: France is gonna beat them so bad they're definitely not
- 23:35Speaker 4: qualifying for the next Cup.
- 23:37Speaker 5: So we have three more tears here. Jesus, it's dark Horse, yes,
- 23:42Speaker 5: could make noise right. And then just happy to be here.
- 23:45Speaker 5: I think we have to go just happy to be
- 23:47Speaker 5: here and just get those teams out of the way,
- 23:48Speaker 5: because right.
- 23:49Speaker 2: Now I feel like Cape Verde feeling they belonging every tier.
- 23:53Speaker 4: They're just happy to be here. The clock struck, man,
- 23:56Speaker 4: I'm sorry, smile off your face once the clock's midnight,
- 24:00Speaker 4: go to sleep tomorrow morning, back your bag, get out
- 24:02Speaker 4: of here.
- 24:04Speaker 5: Just happy to be here.
- 24:05Speaker 4: Canada, Canada, My goodness, they're so happy to be here.
- 24:09Speaker 4: What a terrible game to stand alone.
- 24:11Speaker 2: They have no business being here, so they by extension,
- 24:14Speaker 2: they're just happy to be here and they're in the States,
- 24:17Speaker 2: So really they should have won their group and still
- 24:19Speaker 2: been playing in Canada.
- 24:21Speaker 4: Somehow they're here in La Austria.
- 24:24Speaker 5: Austria is just happy to be here. Interesting, No, Ausha
- 24:28Speaker 5: was in pack your bag? Sorry, love these tears.
- 24:34Speaker 4: Somehow I've got this all organized in my head perfectly.
- 24:36Speaker 3: Were they in there twice or just so?
- 24:39Speaker 5: What happened there?
- 24:41Speaker 3: I thought?
- 24:41Speaker 5: Mikey said either Australia or Algeria. Both of those teams
- 24:45Speaker 5: are in the just happy to be here, right, there's
- 24:47Speaker 5: too many teams with too many similar sounding names. Egypt,
- 24:51Speaker 5: Australia play each other, the winner plays Argentina. That's why
- 24:54Speaker 5: both those teams just happy to be here.
- 24:56Speaker 4: I like that. Any teams we miss so far and
- 24:58Speaker 4: the happy to be here.
- 24:59Speaker 5: U Egypt, Australia, Canada, Ghana, Ecuador, Croatia, Switzerland, Algeria. Now
- 25:07Speaker 5: I consulted Chris Whittingham with this you did, He said,
- 25:09Speaker 5: Ecuador is more than just happy to be here. He
- 25:12Speaker 5: says he thinks they can make some noise.
- 25:14Speaker 3: Right, Well, he would have this way more organized. I
- 25:16Speaker 3: must tell you.
- 25:17Speaker 4: I would argue Croatian give it to us in some
- 25:19Speaker 4: sort of order. Yeah, No, Croatia definitely is more than
- 25:23Speaker 4: happy to be here.
- 25:24Speaker 5: In my opinion, I hate to do this again. I
- 25:28Speaker 5: accidentally had Ecuador and could make noise.
- 25:29Speaker 4: Oh Jesus Christ, you know I was starting to like
- 25:34Speaker 4: soccer not gonna lie Sometimes I confuse Ecuador with Columbia,
- 25:38Speaker 4: so do I.
- 25:40Speaker 5: So Mike couldn't make noise, Tier, Mike couldn't make noise
- 25:44Speaker 5: Tier Morocco. We talked about this Morocco team seemingly every
- 25:48Speaker 5: World Cup to where it seems like they've been making noise.
- 25:50Speaker 5: But this is just another World Cup where they could
- 25:52Speaker 5: reemphasize the fact that they're making noise.
- 25:54Speaker 4: I'm part of Moroccan.
- 25:55Speaker 2: Morocco oddly sounds like a country that would make noise, right,
- 25:59Speaker 2: just like MoCCA.
- 26:00Speaker 4: It's a Morocca. Yes, yes, yes, one very specific.
- 26:03Speaker 3: Yes.
- 26:06Speaker 4: So Ecuador Mexico the team the ways baby.
- 26:13Speaker 5: Morocco Ecuador Mexico are both and could make noise because
- 26:18Speaker 5: the winner of Ecuador Mexico has England on upset alert.
- 26:22Speaker 9: Next round, Okay, gotch then Belgium, what about them? Belgia
- 26:28Speaker 9: category Belgium could make noise? Yeah, Belgium and Senegal play
- 26:34Speaker 9: each other. In the round of thirty two, and the
- 26:35Speaker 9: winner of that plays the winner of United States Bosnia.
- 26:39Speaker 9: So I think both those teams could beat the USA.
- 26:41Speaker 9: But speaking of the USA, they can make some.
- 26:44Speaker 4: Noise really really not a dark horse make noise and
- 26:48Speaker 4: make noise very exciting.
- 26:49Speaker 3: Some would say they've already made noise. No I mean no, no, no, no,
- 26:52Speaker 3: no no, I've got to Yeah.
- 26:54Speaker 5: Full learned baligan has come out and then like we
- 26:57Speaker 5: we know, we we have to raise our expectations now
- 27:00Speaker 5: that we're getting we have to raise our level.
- 27:02Speaker 4: Couldn't make noise is below dark horse?
- 27:05Speaker 5: Correct?
- 27:05Speaker 4: I feel like dark horse is more of a pardon
- 27:09Speaker 4: my terms here, because it might be confusing, more of
- 27:11Speaker 4: a dark horse than couldn't make noise. I feel like
- 27:14Speaker 4: if you couldn't make noise, people are aware, Hey, that
- 27:16Speaker 4: team might be good, but a dark horse should be
- 27:18Speaker 4: worse than that.
- 27:19Speaker 5: Yes, So Riccardo couldn't be shaking his head more emphatically
- 27:22Speaker 5: right now, And I agree.
- 27:23Speaker 4: With thank you, because I don't know what people mean
- 27:26Speaker 4: when they say shaking their.
- 27:27Speaker 3: Head, and who was speaking when he was shaking his head.
- 27:29Speaker 5: He couldn't disagree more with the disagree dark horse means
- 27:34Speaker 5: you could win. We could see you winning the title.
- 27:36Speaker 5: Could could, couldn't could make noises like, hey, this team
- 27:41Speaker 5: could go on a little run, but realistically, so many
- 27:44Speaker 5: things have to break their way for them to Okay,
- 27:46Speaker 5: all right.
- 27:47Speaker 4: I don't even know where in the tears we are
- 27:49Speaker 4: right here, Yes, I have no idea.
- 27:52Speaker 3: I'm more confused about this thing than ever.
- 27:54Speaker 7: Right.
- 27:55Speaker 5: Also, Japanism could make noise, but their game is about
- 27:58Speaker 5: to play against Brazil. But I think Japan, if Japan
- 28:01Speaker 5: could win this game against Brazil, well, if they beat Brazil,
- 28:04Speaker 5: I mean they're already making noise.
- 28:05Speaker 4: They've made noise, They've made noise, but they wouldn't be
- 28:07Speaker 4: a dark horse because they probably can't make that much noise.
- 28:10Speaker 4: Ye moroccas.
- 28:13Speaker 5: So there's one more tier? Is everybody following so far?
- 28:15Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 28:15Speaker 3: You got it wrong?
- 28:17Speaker 5: Yes, go ahead, there's one more tier, dark horse. These
- 28:20Speaker 5: are teams that I could see winning the title.
- 28:22Speaker 4: Second tier for the trophy, right, Okay, this is the
- 28:26Speaker 4: third tier, correct, So all the teams you haven't named
- 28:28Speaker 4: left are in it, but just please tell me it's the.
- 28:29Speaker 5: Last tear, the last tier. The first team up Columbia this.
- 28:35Speaker 4: Time Columbia took over your neighborhood. Yes, this weekend.
- 28:39Speaker 5: Yeah, they took it over in Fort Lauderdale.
- 28:41Speaker 3: What do you mean.
- 28:41Speaker 5: The team was staying at the uh the hotel right
- 28:45Speaker 5: next to me, and Colombia had a rally. Nobody in
- 28:48Speaker 5: my building told me that this rally was happening. By
- 28:50Speaker 5: the way, they absolutely took over the street where I'm
- 28:53Speaker 5: walking my dog, and there's like a couple guys out
- 28:55Speaker 5: there selling Columbia jerseys, and I'm like, oh wow, this
- 28:58Speaker 5: is a nice little, a nice little cute rally. There's
- 29:00Speaker 5: like one hundred people here STU. In an hour, the
- 29:04Speaker 5: entire street was filled. You couldn't see anything besides a
- 29:08Speaker 5: sea of Columbia fans. And if I had a guess,
- 29:11Speaker 5: there was like tens of thousand people stude in downtown
- 29:15Speaker 5: Fort Lauderdover.
- 29:15Speaker 4: Heill needed a Goodyear blimp to get a good photo
- 29:18Speaker 4: of how many fans were celebrating, like taking over blocks.
- 29:22Speaker 4: I was getting gas at some point way far away
- 29:24Speaker 4: from there, north of there, not like let's say, five
- 29:27Speaker 4: six miles from there, I saw a giant Colombian flag
- 29:30Speaker 4: on the back of a truck and I'm like, there
- 29:32Speaker 4: are games not for like two days, where are they going?
- 29:35Speaker 4: And then too, you know, two hours later I got
- 29:37Speaker 4: a text from Taylor It's like the Ecuadorians have taken
- 29:40Speaker 4: over Fort Lauderdale and yeah, I saw a photo and
- 29:43Speaker 4: it was like, that is the great I mean, the Scotts,
- 29:45Speaker 4: you know, the Tartan Army, they get, they get a
- 29:48Speaker 4: lot of a credit for what they've done. Yeah, but
- 29:50Speaker 4: the Colombians, what did I say? Did I say something
- 29:52Speaker 4: else before Ecuadora? I dug it, I knew it.
- 29:54Speaker 3: Well, you confuse them all the time.
- 29:55Speaker 4: Yeah, but the Colombians, that party was more impressive than
- 29:58Speaker 4: anyone I've seen where else in the World Cup.
- 30:00Speaker 2: Fist European and South American sports fans, they make our
- 30:04Speaker 2: sports better.
- 30:04Speaker 3: They do well.
- 30:05Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the only.
- 30:06Speaker 3: Sport they like.
- 30:06Speaker 2: I mean, they showed up our boy Victor Hovlin yesterday
- 30:10Speaker 2: going against Scottie Scheffler, and you know, his whole country
- 30:13Speaker 2: showed up to cheer him on.
- 30:15Speaker 4: And it made golf excite, It made the travelers exciting.
- 30:18Speaker 4: I got a whole top I got a whole fifteen
- 30:20Speaker 4: minutes on that topic. Let me get there. But that's finish.
- 30:22Speaker 4: Taylor's teers.
- 30:22Speaker 3: By the way, Hobland won.
- 30:23Speaker 4: I know, yes, it.
- 30:24Speaker 5: Did have a bit of a Ryder Cup feel to it,
- 30:26Speaker 5: where every time Hobland did something, yes, the Norway crowd
- 30:30Speaker 5: was going crazy, and anytime Scheffler did something, yes, you
- 30:33Speaker 5: were getting the USA chance.
- 30:34Speaker 2: When do you hear at a tournament like the Travelers,
- 30:37Speaker 2: you know, the crowd chanting USA USA.
- 30:40Speaker 4: Speaking of Hobland, have we figured out Norway in these tiers?
- 30:44Speaker 5: Perfect segue? Is he Norway dark horse?
- 30:47Speaker 4: Wow? Because of that horse early Holland.
- 30:50Speaker 5: Yes, he's really the only reason why they're in this
- 30:53Speaker 5: category because he could score. Stu you've been putting in
- 30:58Speaker 5: any time to score bets with your boy Harry Kane.
- 31:01Speaker 5: Switch that over to Holland. Holland is probably like minus
- 31:04Speaker 5: three hundred every game to score because he just stands
- 31:06Speaker 5: around the goal and just poaches goals left and right.
