Speaker 2: Oh, you guys are the most entertaining sports program in
0:11
Speaker 2: the world. Boneb No, no, stop talking. You and I
0:15
Speaker 2: are a couple eating a lady in the tramp. You're
0:18
Speaker 2: the lady on the tram. Yeah, come on, come on, baby,
0:22
Speaker 2: I wish I was Boopy Boopy McLean Man's name.
0:25
Speaker 3: On the bud.
0:35
Speaker 1: Oh.
0:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, the tramp is here, the lady is not here,
0:38
Speaker 2: and the champs here. That is Fitty Morrow. We are
0:41
Speaker 2: here all week. As Mac is on a well deserved cruise,
0:46
Speaker 2: we will hold it down in his absence, although there
0:48
Speaker 2: are rumors that Mac may be on assignment talking to
0:53
Speaker 2: FIFA as well. Here before the cruise ship died. So
0:57
Speaker 2: we've got that. We've got a sport full of corruption
1:00
Speaker 2: and larriors. That's not college football. The Hornets add yet
1:04
Speaker 2: another role player. We have word on what the Celtics
1:09
Speaker 2: wanted for Jalen Brown from the Hornets and Joey Chess.
1:12
Speaker 2: It is to Wieners what Wilt Chamberlain is to rebounce.
1:17
Speaker 2: I am t Bone Hancock, Fitty Moral alongside you here,
1:20
Speaker 2: fit dog. I know you're doing a lot over there,
1:21
Speaker 2: but just wanted to stay. Good morning. You have to
1:24
Speaker 2: you have to greet the Godfather when you're sitting in
1:26
Speaker 2: this chair, right.
1:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's certainly an expectation that comes with that. I
1:33
Speaker 3: was concerned where you were going with the Wilt Chamberlain comparison.
1:37
Speaker 2: I kind of halfway through realized that that could go
1:39
Speaker 2: a number of ways there, and I don't look, I
1:41
Speaker 2: don't want to. I'm a man of class and prestige.
1:43
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna just, you know, throughout the word wienar
1:46
Speaker 2: just for the sake of saying it, you know what
1:48
Speaker 2: I mean.
1:49
Speaker 3: I'm glad you not because the God that is usually
1:52
Speaker 3: sitting in that chair would most definitely would. But I
1:59
Speaker 3: guess we'll miss this week. I'm kind of glad that
2:02
Speaker 3: he's I'm kind of glad that he's not here today.
2:04
Speaker 2: How is the How's first of all? How's it? How's
2:07
Speaker 2: the homestead? You're taking care of the dogs again? Always?
2:09
Speaker 3: Yep, I'm back at the McLean household. I got to
2:11
Speaker 3: experience his dogs like the first time I've built him.
2:16
Speaker 2: During a thunderstorm, oh boy? And fireworks right.
2:19
Speaker 3: Well, no, there was. There was a little bit of
2:20
Speaker 3: fireworks last night, but we had some big thunder rolled
2:23
Speaker 3: through God's Country about five thirty six o'clock last night,
2:27
Speaker 3: and Bacon would not leave my side the remainder of
2:30
Speaker 3: the night, to the point where when I went to
2:32
Speaker 3: go to the bathroom, he followed me into the bathroom,
2:36
Speaker 3: oh man, and sat on the floor while I was
2:38
Speaker 3: doing the business in the bathroom. So we've we've really bonded.
2:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, once the dog. Once the dog sees that you're
2:46
Speaker 2: basically the owner of the dog. Now he's he's seeing
2:48
Speaker 2: your kibbles and bits here. You own the dog now.
2:51
Speaker 3: And I feel like, you know, I'm there till Friday afternoon.
2:55
Speaker 3: I very well could be at Max House on Friday
2:57
Speaker 3: night when they get back, because if the US men's
3:00
Speaker 3: national team does advance. They played Friday at three, and
3:04
Speaker 3: the mcclains are expected back about five point thirty or
3:07
Speaker 3: so on Friday. Hey, man, I want me to leave.
3:10
Speaker 3: I've just become a permanent resident household member of the McClain.
3:13
Speaker 4: Man.
3:14
Speaker 2: You're like you're like a You're like a yard nome,
3:16
Speaker 2: you know, or a garden dome. Now I'm not saying
3:18
Speaker 2: that because your size. I just mean like you're part
3:20
Speaker 2: of the the fabric of the u of the dwelling there. Look,
3:24
Speaker 2: you and I I think we're kind of similar with
3:28
Speaker 2: this World Cup here we're not the biggest soccer guys,
3:31
Speaker 2: but how how are you not into what we're seeing
3:35
Speaker 2: here with the drama of the of the US yesterday
3:39
Speaker 2: off the field, with you know, the president it might
3:42
Speaker 2: be involved and all that goes into that and then
3:45
Speaker 2: the flow into the flow situation. We're gonna get into
3:48
Speaker 2: all that, but first fitting I think we have to
3:51
Speaker 2: talk about the games that were played yesterday, because it's
3:55
Speaker 2: a World Cup that just day after day after day
3:59
Speaker 2: it wivers in the on field drama and now of
4:03
Speaker 2: course off the field. But yesterday Brazil's out to Norway.
4:08
Speaker 2: This is not the same Brazil team of certainly when
4:12
Speaker 2: I was younger, the last five or stakes World Cups
4:15
Speaker 2: have kind of ended in the same way. Erowing Holland
4:19
Speaker 2: really becoming maybe this is his World Cup if this
4:22
Speaker 2: run continues and he carries them to the very and
4:25
Speaker 2: almost Fidia Carmelo Anthony Krun, I'd say of Syracuse, a
4:29
Speaker 2: guy that's just taken a country that's not been there
4:32
Speaker 2: for twenty eight years, and he's got him on the
4:34
Speaker 2: doorstep of greatness beating Brazil yesterday. So certainly that was
4:38
Speaker 2: eye opening. But last night's game, the Three Lions, England
4:42
Speaker 2: going to the Azteca, where only Mexico has only lost
4:46
Speaker 2: two of ninety games at night in that environment, they
4:50
Speaker 2: go down a man and for a team that's known
4:54
Speaker 2: to fold in the past, you gotta tip your hat
4:57
Speaker 2: to England in what they did last night. I saw
5:00
Speaker 2: someone tweet out I think this sort of helps us
5:02
Speaker 2: along the ways people ask soccer people, hey, explain this
5:06
Speaker 2: maybe in other sports terms. Someone said, last night England
5:09
Speaker 2: went to Death Valley in Baton Rouge and won a
5:12
Speaker 2: night playoff game last night. And yes, Harry Kane is
5:15
Speaker 2: the headline player, but Jude Bellingham and all he does
5:19
Speaker 2: that that play where he got his foot in there
5:22
Speaker 2: and saved the goal. Book. Man, we're not England fans obviously,
5:27
Speaker 2: but you can't do anything but tip your hacket. Their
5:29
Speaker 2: performance last night, it was.
5:30
Speaker 3: It was incredible resiliency that they displayed. And I thought
5:34
Speaker 3: the Death Valley comparison was very appropriate because that's what
5:38
Speaker 3: that's what I thought every time they would show a
5:41
Speaker 3: crowd shot after a big moment is what you see
5:44
Speaker 3: from a big game at LSU during you know, during
5:47
Speaker 3: their heyday at nighttime where it's just I mean, there's
5:50
Speaker 3: just chaos ensuing in the stands. They go down to
5:55
Speaker 3: ten men and then they they were able to get
5:57
Speaker 3: back up by two goals and then they can see
6:00
Speaker 3: eat another goal. I thought, I thought the referee was
6:03
Speaker 3: as close to like losing control of the match as
6:06
Speaker 3: he probably could have been. At one point, you hear
6:09
Speaker 3: the play by play guy talking about what's going on
6:11
Speaker 3: on the sidelines. We weren't seeing what was going on
6:14
Speaker 3: the sideline.
6:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, yeah, give us a little peasy perhaps, I
6:17
Speaker 2: know we've got the uh the worldview there, but can
6:20
Speaker 2: we can we maybe see a little bit of a
6:23
Speaker 2: little hay Bakers what's going on there?
6:24
Speaker 3: But it was tremendous theater, incredible drama. And that's what
6:30
Speaker 3: this World Cup has been since it started in the
6:33
Speaker 3: group stage. It's carried over into the knockout stage. And
6:37
Speaker 3: with the Norway Brazil match, I don't know how you felt, Bone.
6:42
Speaker 3: I felt like the later the game got and the
6:46
Speaker 3: later that it stayed tied, I thought it favored Norway
6:49
Speaker 3: because at some point, you know, Arling Holland is going
6:52
Speaker 3: to do.
6:53
Speaker 2: Something exactly what I was saying eventually if you don't score,
6:57
Speaker 2: he's going to score at some point.
6:58
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, So it's kind of like me at the
7:00
Speaker 3: Golden Corral buffet. He is inevitable, like me going back
7:03
Speaker 3: for second and thirds at the at the.
7:07
Speaker 2: That's a self stress, self stress.
7:10
Speaker 3: And sure enough, you know, he gets he gets two
7:12
Speaker 3: goals and then they have very you know, very chaotic
7:16
Speaker 3: ending as well with the penalty. They played almost four
7:18
Speaker 3: minutes past the extra time that was added.
7:22
Speaker 2: It felt like that was a lot of uh, stoppage time,
7:26
Speaker 2: didn't it It did. I thought we were going for
7:28
Speaker 2: three or four minutes, which is kind of where we
7:31
Speaker 2: usually fit. I didn't realize I was trying to calculate
7:34
Speaker 2: in my head. I didn't realize we had that much
7:35
Speaker 2: to stapage time that.
7:36
Speaker 3: It's one of my favorite things to do when I
7:40
Speaker 3: parachute in usually to a World Cup event. Of course,
7:43
Speaker 3: now you and I where you are, the Premier pre League,
7:47
Speaker 3: Premier League fans at the station, we be.
7:50
Speaker 2: Hard to find two guys that care more than we do.
7:52
Speaker 3: Exactly. I always try to play a game with myself like, Okay,
7:55
Speaker 3: what do I think the stoppage time is going to be?
7:58
Speaker 3: You know what this World Cup because of the hydration breaks.
8:01
Speaker 3: The bare minimum is three minutes. Yeah, like that's kind
8:04
Speaker 3: of like the standard, the standard stoppage time. But you
8:08
Speaker 3: had was it seven minutes in that match, and then
8:11
Speaker 3: we had double digit minutes in the England Mexico match, which.
8:14
Speaker 2: I felt with all the different stoppages in eleven minutes.
8:17
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, but yesterday was phenomenal. Yesterday was fantastic, and
8:23
Speaker 3: it set the stage for today, which is, in a
8:25
Speaker 3: lot of people's opinion, the biggest day in the history
8:28
Speaker 3: of US men soccer.
8:29
Speaker 2: Look, I know, like you said, we parachute in and
8:32
Speaker 2: it's easy to complain about some things. The fact that
8:36
Speaker 2: we don't know when the game is going to end
8:38
Speaker 2: is I mean, can we perhaps update that a little bit.
8:41
Speaker 2: Imagine watching a Duke UNC game, fitty just trying to
8:44
Speaker 2: figure out when the game might end. Imagine watching an
8:47
Speaker 2: American football game where they're winding up for a field
8:50
Speaker 2: goal and they're out of timeout and you don't know
8:52
Speaker 2: if they can get that off or not because we
8:53
Speaker 2: don't know when the games It just it is a
8:55
Speaker 2: little bit. It's different, right, I've heard Michael.
8:58
Speaker 3: K Rant about this. The entire World Cup and you
9:02
Speaker 3: would think maybe in the year of Our Lord twenty
9:05
Speaker 3: twenty six, there would be a way to just stop
9:09
Speaker 3: the clock and they would adapt. We've seen baseball eventage.
9:12
Speaker 2: The hydration breaks, which you know you're gonna do.
9:15
Speaker 3: Yes, because what I think what it's hard to do
9:19
Speaker 3: is explain it to someone that has no idea what's
9:22
Speaker 3: going on. But because it's the World Cup, and because
9:25
Speaker 3: it's been on now for a month straight, at some
9:28
Speaker 3: point your TV's gonna land on that, and like with
9:31
Speaker 3: my ma, Ma watching the other night, has no idea
9:33
Speaker 3: why we count up, has no idea why the clock
9:36
Speaker 3: doesn't stop. Didn't understand why we came back from break
9:40
Speaker 3: from the halftime while we were back at forty five
9:42
Speaker 3: minutes when they played to fifty two minutes. So I
9:45
Speaker 3: do think there could be a way that they could
9:46
Speaker 3: do a better job explaining it. But if they're not
9:49
Speaker 3: changing now, bone when we've seen other sports adapt with
9:53
Speaker 3: the times, with the increase of modern technology, I don't
9:56
Speaker 3: think there's any any reason to think that when we
9:59
Speaker 3: get to the next World Cup in twenty thirty, we'll
10:02
Speaker 3: have clock stoppages in soccer.
10:04
Speaker 2: So the World cub delivered on their double header yesterday,
10:07
Speaker 2: which we kind of knew that it would based off
10:09
Speaker 2: the brackets and the mashups yesterday Sunday Monday fell like, okay,
10:13
Speaker 2: those are two days of back to back games. Today
10:17
Speaker 2: Portugal Spain. Then of course US Belgium. We're gonna do
10:21
Speaker 2: full segment. We're gonna do a lot on the Baligan decision,
10:25
Speaker 2: but I do need early perhaps ninety two can just
10:29
Speaker 2: tease what's coming up today with flow Baligan.
10:31
Speaker 5: Well, I said when I became president again, it was
10:34
Speaker 5: gonna be America first, and I think I proved this
10:39
Speaker 5: weekend with the largest fireworks display in the history of
10:42
Speaker 5: mankind and getting Flow Balligan back on the pitch.
10:47
Speaker 3: I am a man of my word.
10:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's coming up in this seven. As I
10:53
Speaker 2: heard Big Calf from part of my take, say today Belgium,
10:56
Speaker 2: and I'll paraphrase, but Belgium said, all like men, we
10:59
Speaker 2: don't do courtrooms and injunctions here and all that in
11:02
Speaker 2: our sports world, do we. That's the thing about this
11:06
Speaker 2: fitty we have. We have drama, we have angry fan bases,
11:11
Speaker 2: we have country's lawyered up. But we got college football
11:15
Speaker 2: early this year.
11:16
Speaker 3: Mat Yeah, well that's while we're missing mac for our
11:18
Speaker 3: annual six forty five injunction function, something that we have
11:21
Speaker 3: been doing about all the different lawsuits in college football. Obviously,
11:26
Speaker 3: bone as Americans, we are going to side with the
11:30
Speaker 3: decision that FIFA made yesterday and understand that they that
11:35
Speaker 3: it benefits us, and there's no denying that it benefits us.
11:38
Speaker 2: And it hasn't always benefited America when it comes to
11:40
Speaker 2: FIFA and decisions of the past, it has not.
11:43
Speaker 3: But I do think at at the end of the day,
11:48
Speaker 3: they got the right result here. And I thought Mauricio Pachettino,
11:53
Speaker 3: I pulled the audit, we'll play it later on in
11:55
Speaker 3: the show. I thought his answer was very blunt when
11:58
Speaker 3: he said we were honest enough having to play with
12:01
Speaker 3: ten minut against Bosnia, like we suffered enough for that
12:05
Speaker 3: red card. We're not should be without our striker in
12:07
Speaker 3: a at this at this stage in the World Cup.
12:11
Speaker 3: And so look, I know there's all the reports about
12:14
Speaker 3: the President getting involved, but whether they got pressure to
12:18
Speaker 3: or not, the right decision was come to. Like flow,
12:23
Speaker 3: Baalagan deserved to be on the pitch tonight, come hell
12:26
Speaker 3: or eye water, and I'll be glad that he is
12:28
Speaker 3: when we sit down at eight o'clock as a nation
12:30
Speaker 3: to watch this team play. Well.
12:31
Speaker 2: I know that soccer purists will explain it to me,
12:34
Speaker 2: and Mac did on Thursday when I was last on
12:37
Speaker 2: the show. But it also is a little bit odd
12:39
Speaker 2: of Hey, you're gonna play a man down for whenever
12:43
Speaker 2: that penalty occurs in a game, and then you're gonna
12:46
Speaker 2: miss the whole next game. It is, yeah, because it
12:49
Speaker 2: is a lot of it. I get it, like you're
12:51
Speaker 2: trying to stop from extreme behavior. That is a lot
12:55
Speaker 2: of time. Like I don't know, maybe at least like.
12:57
Speaker 3: With football and targeting, that player gets ejected, but you're
13:02
Speaker 3: not down a man in football, Yeah, you're just replaced.
13:05
Speaker 3: Like if if you had the opportunity.
13:07
Speaker 2: The guy misses a half, right, yeah.
13:09
Speaker 3: Like if you had the opportunity that had Balligan been
13:11
Speaker 3: red carded ejected from the match, but America could have
13:16
Speaker 3: replaced him and played eleven on eleven and then he's
13:19
Speaker 3: still suspended. You still maybe not agree with the process,
13:23
Speaker 3: but you you had to play an extended period of
13:26
Speaker 3: time in a knockout round match with ten men, and
13:31
Speaker 3: it's incredibly difficult to do.
13:33
Speaker 2: Basically, the other like Mexico last night was essentially on
13:37
Speaker 2: a power They on a power play for how long
13:39
Speaker 2: they they possessed the ball at one point I think
13:42
Speaker 2: it was like eighty eight minutes of a fifteen minute
13:44
Speaker 2: strect last night. That's another reason why I was insane
13:47
Speaker 2: that Engramand was able to hang on there. We'll get
13:50
Speaker 2: more in the World Cup next segment and throughout the show.
13:54
Speaker 2: Chicago Land yesterday, Chase Briscoe wins Fitty. I will fully
13:59
Speaker 2: admit here to me that was kind of a race.
14:03
Speaker 2: It was there, it was on, but me personally, I
14:09
Speaker 2: I know that the it wasn't as good as the
14:12
Speaker 2: first time around. But I did miss the Chicago Street
14:14
Speaker 2: Race yesterday a little bit. I wasn't as into that
14:17
Speaker 2: one yesterday. I don't know if it's a come down
14:19
Speaker 2: from the street race. I just I don't know that race.
14:21
Speaker 2: Didn't it might have been all the World Cup stuff
14:23
Speaker 2: going on as well yesterday too. That might have been
14:25
Speaker 2: my attention yesterday.
14:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I was fully invested. Maybe just make
14:32
Speaker 3: it a full blown night race, because I did think
14:35
Speaker 3: the racing as we got more grip onto the track
14:39
Speaker 3: was a lot better.
14:40
Speaker 2: It is an odd time because there's not many. I
14:42
Speaker 2: know it was six o'clock our time, five pm sexral.
14:46
Speaker 2: There's not many five pm local start times for races.
14:49
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest with you, Bone, I thought the
14:50
Speaker 3: race was at three o'clock.
14:53
Speaker 6: Like.
14:53
Speaker 3: So I got to Max a little bit, a little
14:57
Speaker 3: bit after two, and my whole thought process was, let
15:00
Speaker 3: me get there, get situated. I'll get my I had
15:05
Speaker 3: a pizza day, yes, some good.
15:06
Speaker 2: What did he leave on the cruise?
15:09
Speaker 3: They leave this morning?
15:09
Speaker 2: Okay I thought he was gone, alrighty okay, yeah.
15:11
Speaker 3: No, they drove down last night. But so, like I'm getting,
15:14
Speaker 3: I'm getting to the TV direct. TV streams a little
15:17
Speaker 3: bit different than YouTube, so you gotta go a little
15:19
Speaker 3: bit to find the NASCAR race. And I'm sitting there
15:22
Speaker 3: at three o'clock and there's no NASCAR cover and I'm like,
15:26
Speaker 3: where the hell's direct?
15:27
Speaker 2: Thought it was possibly rained on like it was projected, and.
15:30
Speaker 3: Then it shows that the race dend start till six o'clock.
15:32
Speaker 3: I didn't quite understand. I loved them going back to
15:35
Speaker 3: Chicago Land, and I thought the racing was really really good.
15:39
Speaker 3: You had two grooves, you had the marbles on the
15:41
Speaker 3: track that I thought made a difference on certain cars.
15:44
Speaker 3: Why are we racing at six pm? I guess because
15:47
Speaker 3: it's a holiday weekend. I was kind of confused by that,
15:51
Speaker 3: But hats off to Chase Brisco being able to hold
15:55
Speaker 3: off Christopher Bell. Had had that race gone one lap further,
15:58
Speaker 3: Belle would have gotten his to win and said he
16:00
Speaker 3: had to settle for us fourth straight runner up. The
16:03
Speaker 3: biggest thing for me was the way that race started.
16:06
Speaker 3: I thought we were in for a Denny Hamlin parade,
16:09
Speaker 3: and his car was not nearly as good the back
16:12
Speaker 3: half of the race as it was the first half
16:14
Speaker 3: of the race. You had some drama SVG Austin Hill,
16:19
Speaker 3: Jostavar involved in another accident with was Zane Smith.
16:23
Speaker 2: Zilwich lasted about thirty seconds. Oh my, At this point,
16:27
Speaker 2: I just feel bad for the poor kid. This poor
16:28
Speaker 2: kid is the lamellow of the NASCAR circle because you know.
16:31
Speaker 3: What's gonna happen, you just don't.
16:33
Speaker 2: And I knew the second ready every time.
16:36
Speaker 3: Like I knew it, Like they were trying to figure out,
16:38
Speaker 3: like Junior is already yelling, oh my god, who is that?
16:41
Speaker 3: And I'm like it's Zilich, Like I knew immediately when
16:44
Speaker 3: I saw the car, I was like, there goes Zillich
16:46
Speaker 3: lat one turned two of the race.
16:48
Speaker 2: He's really young and we know he's a talent. Does
16:50
Speaker 2: he have his license yet? Is he too young to drive?
16:54
Speaker 2: What's going on here with this guy? I don't know, Man,
16:56
Speaker 2: I feel bad. I mean, he this is I've lost track.
16:59
Speaker 2: How many races has he not finished this year? I
17:01
Speaker 2: had to look it up. It's in the double titch
17:03
Speaker 2: Josh right. I thought it was like already eleven or twelve,
17:05
Speaker 2: but out the look every that toe jock driver for
17:09
Speaker 2: him is on retainer. Like it's ridiculous there, Baseball this weekend,
17:12
Speaker 2: Fitty's still going on? Actually right now for your Mets
17:15
Speaker 2: and Braves. Uh, for your Mets against the Braves today?
17:19
Speaker 2: Can you properly or positively or I've lost I've lost
17:24
Speaker 2: my words. I clean up player plays clean me up here.
17:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Mets were up ten to.
17:28
Speaker 2: Three, insane game yesterday.
17:30
Speaker 3: I looked down at my phone because admittedly I'm kind
17:34
Speaker 3: of checked out. I cut them on.
17:35
Speaker 2: I get it.
17:36
Speaker 3: But when other stuff I came to, you know, like
17:38
Speaker 3: when the when the when the World Cup comes on,
17:40
Speaker 3: when the NASCAR comes on, I gravitate towards that. I
17:44
Speaker 3: got a notification that Devin Williams was pitching, and the
17:48
Speaker 3: game was suddenly ten to eight, and I'm sitting there
17:51
Speaker 3: just asking myself, what the hell happened? How do we
17:53
Speaker 3: go from ten to three to a game that now
17:55
Speaker 3: it's ten to eight and Devin Williams is having to
17:58
Speaker 3: come in and save the game. The Mets win ten nine.
18:01
Speaker 3: Saturday Night was an absolutely embarrassment. That Braves won fourteen
18:05
Speaker 3: to three. Just when the Braves were starting to go sideways,
18:08
Speaker 3: they got the best dose of medicine any team in
18:10
Speaker 3: baseball can get. Right now, They got the New York
18:13
Speaker 3: Metropolitans to come into their home park. They've taken two
18:16
Speaker 3: or three of the wrap around series ends today. At
18:20
Speaker 3: this point, Bone as a baseball fan just wanting to
18:24
Speaker 3: get to the All Star break so I have a
18:26
Speaker 3: week off to not worry about this team and get
18:29
Speaker 3: me to the trade deadline so I can find out
18:31
Speaker 3: how many of these useless, overrated excuses of baseball players
18:38
Speaker 3: can be traded away. That's where I've gotten to.
18:41
Speaker 2: Besides that, you're happy with the sport in general. There
18:43
Speaker 2: oh sports a great show. We will on the way back.
18:46
Speaker 2: We'll go through some of the all stars that were
18:48
Speaker 2: announced this weekend, including I thought a pretty big stub
18:52
Speaker 2: for the Brave side of things yesterday and one of
18:54
Speaker 2: their better players. We'll get more in the end of
18:56
Speaker 2: the World Cup. Also fitting you don't know this yet,
19:00
Speaker 2: but I had a little I had a problem at
19:03
Speaker 2: a restaurant this weekend. You know me. I don't really
19:07
Speaker 2: complain too much about whether it be service or restaurant stuff,
19:11
Speaker 2: but I feel like I'm justified here. I want your
19:14
Speaker 2: opinion on a week come back. It's the Mack and
19:17

Speaker 2: uh of the sports calendar are are kind of upon.
20:05
Speaker 2: That's all the World Cup changes that, but Fiddy is

Speaker 2: putting in uh a tremendous amount of works though. Shout

Speaker 2: out to you, Fiddy. I mean they're not a serious
20:12
Speaker 2: no you uh, you're You're always here for the for

Speaker 2: the people.
20:15
Speaker 3: They say, thank you for the kind words, Bonia. The

Speaker 3: Young Guns will be on today from ten to twelve, Fiddy.
20:22
Speaker 3: I guess myself Flounder and Troppy Bag from vacation be
20:26
Speaker 3: interested to get him back after a week off, and
20:30
Speaker 3: maybe throughout the show. I'll kind of explain to you
20:33
Speaker 3: Flounder came over to the pool for the first time
20:35
Speaker 3: over the weekend and it was.
20:37
Speaker 2: Oh boy, it was quite the experience. All right, Well,
20:40
Speaker 2: what's let's save that for the main audience. I'm sure
20:43
Speaker 2: they can't wait to hear that in the UH in
20:45
Speaker 2: the in the eight o'clock hour this weekend. Fifty Stop
20:48
Speaker 2: me if you've heard this before. The Hornets have added
20:51
Speaker 2: a role player and Dorian Finney Smith from the Houston Rockets,
20:56
Speaker 2: who I've always liked. They get him for a number
20:59
Speaker 2: of second pace. He signed a pretty decent deal with
21:04
Speaker 2: Houston fifty three million dollars not long ago, got injured.
21:08
Speaker 2: Was never the same. I don't have anything against DFS.
21:13
Speaker 2: I believe as a kid, say, but are we not
21:16
Speaker 2: reaching our limit here of role players? We may have
21:19
Speaker 2: every role player right now in the National Basketball Association,
21:22
Speaker 2: from Grant Williams to the guys drafted last year to
21:26
Speaker 2: the guys we got from the Suns to the guys
21:28
Speaker 2: this year. We have a ton of role player. There's
21:34
Speaker 2: no we can't fit any more role guys. Fitty Morrow
21:37
Speaker 2: on this Hornet squad right.
21:39
Speaker 3: Now, and with that LaMelo ball here, you don't have
21:42
Speaker 3: what I would label as an established star, right You
21:45
Speaker 3: have established players. I think Brandon Miller went healthy as
21:49
Speaker 3: established player.
21:50
Speaker 2: You have four really good players counting Nasred in the
21:54
Speaker 2: perimeter guys. But you're right. The amount of pressure, I think,
21:58
Speaker 2: and we'll talk about it later on the show, the
22:00
Speaker 2: amount of pressure I don't know how you feel on
22:02
Speaker 2: Brandon Miller this year to be yeah, CON's got to
22:05
Speaker 2: be that guy too, but based off years in the league,
22:08
Speaker 2: Brandon Miller's got to go to that that twenty five
22:12
Speaker 2: points are more level this year. I think for them
22:15
Speaker 2: to sustain what they have, it.
22:16
Speaker 3: Almost feels like to me Bone they're setting this up
22:18
Speaker 3: as a way to evaluate what they think Brandon Miller
22:21
Speaker 3: is and what Brandon Miller can be. And let's say
22:25
Speaker 3: that the evaluation comes back and he's not a one
22:28
Speaker 3: on one dude, a future multi time, multi time All Star,
22:32
Speaker 3: a guy that's going to be, you know, in the
22:34
Speaker 3: running to be All NBA consideration. He could be the
22:37
Speaker 3: next guy that Jeff Peterson ships after we thought he
22:40
Speaker 3: was in line to be here for an extended period
22:43
Speaker 3: of time. So it's nothing quite frankly from from the
22:49
Speaker 3: since the LaMelo ball trade, outside of trading away Miles Bridges,
22:53
Speaker 3: has made a whole lot of sense. Like where we
22:56
Speaker 3: are now is to where I thought we were going
22:58
Speaker 3: to be. We're what ten days of roofs as LaMelo
23:01
Speaker 3: got traded is not where I thought. I thought they
23:04
Speaker 3: were setting themselves up to become a player, to bring
23:08
Speaker 3: an established top fifteen player in the NBA to Charlotte,
23:13
Speaker 3: and that's not where they are right now, and I
23:15
Speaker 3: don't see that happening anytime soon.
23:17
Speaker 2: I mean, something has to give, right with the amount
23:20
Speaker 2: of roster spots that they have for some of these guys,
23:22
Speaker 2: because don't forget Trey Man is also still here. I mean,
23:25
Speaker 2: look at the guard, it's Kobe White and then behind him,
23:28
Speaker 2: is Trey Mann at Christian Anderson. I'm this is all
23:31
Speaker 2: the top of my head because I don't see this
23:33
Speaker 2: updated depth target in front of me because it's pulling
23:35
Speaker 2: up last year's. But you got mellow Anderson, Man, You've
23:40
Speaker 2: got Miller Kahn, Grayson Allen, Seon, James Musa, Kok, Brenner Steinbach,
23:49
Speaker 2: Dorian Finney, Smith, Grant Williams. I'm sure there's someone else
23:52
Speaker 2: in there that at some point you're you're, first of all,
23:56
Speaker 2: you're not going to play all these guys? Are they
23:58
Speaker 2: are they setting up for something? But that's also a
24:01
Speaker 2: lot of throw ins to deals more so than the
24:04
Speaker 2: primary players. That's a lot of guys that can play.
24:09
Speaker 2: But you're not gonna play all those guys either. That's
24:11
Speaker 2: uh something. They're not all gonna make this team. Man,
24:15
Speaker 2: I trade Man definitely. I don't know about him, but
24:17
Speaker 2: they're definitely there's more roster spots than guys they need
24:21
Speaker 2: being used right now.
24:22
Speaker 3: No, You're You're absolutely right, And I don't know what
24:26
Speaker 3: these other guys's values are around the league. If Jeff
24:30
Speaker 3: Peachs is wanting to try to ship them out, I
24:32
Speaker 3: guess you can continue to acquire second round picks. He
24:35
Speaker 3: loved those as much as I love the McDonald's drive
24:37
Speaker 3: through on a Friday morning. But I just right now,
24:41
Speaker 3: I don't I don't see I don't see the vision.
24:44
Speaker 3: I don't I don't see where this is going. I
24:47
Speaker 3: thought after the LaMelo trade, I thought I had an
24:50
Speaker 3: idea of where they were going. I thought they were
24:52
Speaker 3: going to get Jaylen Brown. I thought they were going
24:55
Speaker 3: to get that that guy and looked, you know, the offseason,
24:59
Speaker 3: I guess officially comes official today that what's that? Where
25:03
Speaker 3: the momatorium that they we're.
25:05
Speaker 2: Looking for the league year becomes official today? Yeah, and
25:10
Speaker 2: Jeff Peterson in the Hornets brats can talk now, right,
25:13
Speaker 2: and that I think we go for so long of
25:16
Speaker 2: trying to figure it out. Not that we're gonna get
25:18
Speaker 2: the full answers on stuff, but when you don't hear
25:21
Speaker 2: from those decision makers for nearly two weeks because this
25:24
Speaker 2: is what they do with the league, that doesn't help either.
25:27
Speaker 3: I also wonders what's the time frame before JP talks
25:31
Speaker 3: because Brad Stevens is talking today in Boston. Now. Granted,
25:35
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown's a much as a much more accomplished player
25:38
Speaker 3: than LaMelo Ball, but that's the pretty significant trade. Stevens
25:43
Speaker 3: for the day the new league year begins, is gonna
25:46
Speaker 3: be behind the microphone. Is Jeff Peterson gonna talk this
25:50
Speaker 3: week or is he gonna maybe delay this until maybe
25:53
Speaker 3: he makes a big move before he can kind of
25:56
Speaker 3: explain why they trade a LaMelo ball to get where
25:58
Speaker 3: they're getting.
25:59
Speaker 2: You traded two star orders and mellow and bridges. I
26:01
Speaker 2: think that today or today or tomorrow, he's he's and
26:07
Speaker 2: their their summer league starts on Thursday.
26:10
Speaker 3: I thought it was tomorrow, maybe Thursday.
26:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to double check. I thought it was
26:14
Speaker 2: maybe Thursday, but I'll double check. Yeah, So at some
26:16
Speaker 2: point he's going to have to talk. And you mentioned
26:19
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown there. Jake Weinbach had to report this weekend
26:26
Speaker 2: that the Celtics were asking for Brandon Miller and three
26:32
Speaker 2: uh first for Jalen Brown. Is that's I know you
26:36
Speaker 2: haven't been big on Jalen Brown. And then you'd have
26:39
Speaker 2: to maybe do a little bit of finagling there because
26:43
Speaker 2: you'd be kind of small if you wanted to start
26:45
Speaker 2: nas Reed and Jalen Brown, you'd have a rather small lineup.
26:49
Speaker 2: But I gotta tell you, an offensive lineup of Kobe,
26:53
Speaker 2: Brandon Kahn, Nas and Jalen Brown, you can do some stuff,
26:57
Speaker 2: although you'd have to manipulate some things there would you
27:01
Speaker 2: would you have done that? Or no?
27:02
Speaker 3: No, I would not because as much as I got
27:06
Speaker 3: why Boston it was willing to move off of Jalen Brown,
27:10
Speaker 3: like I understood it, like I know him and Jason
27:14
Speaker 3: Tatum accomplished a lot, they won a lot. I don't
27:17
Speaker 3: know if they necessarily fit all that well?
27:20
Speaker 2: Was really I thought Thursday seven Thursday, Okay, So I
27:24
Speaker 2: understood why Boston was willing to move off of him,
27:27
Speaker 2: and and look, if you want to add an all
27:28
Speaker 2: NBA player, a former Finals MVP.
27:31
Speaker 3: I don't think Hornet's fans are in a situation to
27:34
Speaker 3: complain about it. But I wasn't willing to see another
27:37
Speaker 3: starter be shipped out in the process, cause you already
27:40
Speaker 3: traded away Lamelow. You traded away Miles Bridges, which which
27:43
Speaker 3: made a lot of sense from a basketball perspective. They
27:47
Speaker 3: were looking to trade him really since they signed that contract.
27:50
Speaker 3: But if I was bringing Jalen Brown here would have
27:53
Speaker 3: been to add Jalen Brown to to a Brandon Miller,
27:57
Speaker 3: to a Conker Nipple. So if the ask price was
28:01
Speaker 3: three first rounders and an established wing player, I would
28:05
Speaker 3: have said no. I'd have been willing to give up
28:07
Speaker 3: more draft collateral, more draft capital to keep Brandon Miller
28:11
Speaker 3: here alongside Jalen Brown as opposed to have to trade
28:14
Speaker 3: for him straight.
28:14
Speaker 2: Up inadferdently, when I was doing that lineup, I threw
28:17
Speaker 2: Miller in there. Obviously he'd be traded for Brown, so
28:20
Speaker 2: it'd be Kobe Kahan, Jalen Brown, and Nas Reed as you're.
28:24
Speaker 3: For, which would still be a fun lineup.
28:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, but now you're I. I if you could have
28:30
Speaker 2: gotten away with because I know Boston wanted naz Reid,
28:34
Speaker 2: if you could have given him and the first to.
28:37
Speaker 3: Me that I would have made that deal.
28:39
Speaker 2: That to be because you can't look, we like Nas,
28:43
Speaker 2: but you can't value Nas over Jalen Brown. I know
28:46
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown's name has been sullied a little bit here,
28:50
Speaker 2: but I'm not. I'm not taking Nas over over Jalen Brown.
28:54
Speaker 2: But again, the guy that knows Jalen Brown well is
28:57
Speaker 2: Charles Lee. So we don't. Maybe Charles Lee know something
29:00
Speaker 2: about Jaylen Brown where you never know, right, Maybe Charles
29:03
Speaker 2: Lee said uh, either he was going to be all
29:06
Speaker 2: in or not. Need don't you get to said so
29:08
Speaker 2: that if Charles Lee was all in on Jaylen Brown,
29:12
Speaker 2: that he would probably be here, that he would probably say, hey, no,
29:16
Speaker 2: that is absolutely he would make it a known thing
29:19
Speaker 2: that we need to do whatever we can to get
29:21
Speaker 2: that guy here. The fact that they weren't like fully invested,
29:25
Speaker 2: I wonder I wonder about that a little bit there.
29:27
Speaker 2: What was what was Charles Lee saying behind the scenes, Yeah, we'll.
29:30
Speaker 3: Never Unfortunately we'll never get to know just because or never.
29:33
Speaker 2: Well, no, I am going to ask Charles Lee's pickleball partner,
29:37
Speaker 2: Sam Farmer to get us the info.
29:39
Speaker 3: If there's a guy that would know that be willing
29:41
Speaker 3: to share, I think it would be Sunshine Sam. But
29:43
Speaker 3: I think I think it's fair to assume that. But
29:47
Speaker 3: how much how much of us, say, does Charles Lee
29:50
Speaker 3: have in those types of decisions, Like like we see
29:53
Speaker 3: with Dan Morgan Dave Canalis right when they go through
29:57
Speaker 3: the draft process, the guys they've attacked in free agency,
30:01
Speaker 3: there appears to be a synergy where they're both in lockstep.
30:05
Speaker 3: It's not it's not Dave Canal is pressuring Dan Morgan
30:08
Speaker 3: to draft for sign a player he doesn't want a
30:10
Speaker 3: draft or sign. And it's not Dan Morgan doing the
30:13
Speaker 3: same to a guy that Dave Canal doesn't want to coach.
30:16
Speaker 3: It feels like they're they're married. There where they they
30:18
Speaker 3: they're on the same page. Is this situation where Jeff
30:22
Speaker 3: Peterson as symbles a team and Charles Ley has to
30:24
Speaker 3: coach the team the best of his abilities.
30:26
Speaker 2: I don't know more hornets as the show goes along.
30:30
Speaker 2: Who knows they may sign a role player here within
30:33
Speaker 2: this hour. We'll find out. Fitty. I don't know if
30:36
Speaker 2: he saw it or not, but there was a quiet
30:38
Speaker 2: wedding this weekend between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. They
30:41
Speaker 2: had a nice quiet wedding at Madison's Square guarded. I mean,
30:48
Speaker 2: I couldn't get enough of the random guess photos that
30:52
Speaker 2: were popping out. I tweeted out the other day jokingly
30:57
Speaker 2: if wedding Greg greg Golson's not there? We right, And
31:00
Speaker 2: then a picture of Greg Olsen popped up at the
31:03
Speaker 2: wedding wearing one of Cam's hats. I think, an incredible
31:06
Speaker 2: fit from Greg Olsen, but in the photo it was
31:10
Speaker 2: Greg Olsen an NFL rules expert from Fox, Dean Blandino.
31:17
Speaker 2: Did you have Paul McCartney and Dean Blandino hanging out
31:21
Speaker 2: together at the wedding?
31:22
Speaker 3: I did not have Dean Blandino on the Sravis Kelce
31:27
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift marriage event. I also did not have I
31:33
Speaker 3: wasn't surprised that Mike Grabel showed up. I could see
31:36
Speaker 3: Mike Rabel showing up to that type of event. I
31:39
Speaker 3: was not prepared for to see Mike Grabel and the
31:41
Speaker 3: missus and the misses not being Diana Russini at MSG
31:45
Speaker 3: on Friday for the occasion. Man, can I tell you bone,
31:49
Speaker 3: I am glad this is over. I am glad this
31:53
Speaker 3: is behind us. So maybe at some point we can
31:57
Speaker 3: quit talking about this couple. Like the next time we
32:00
Speaker 3: talk about them better be when they're getting divorced and
32:02
Speaker 3: she's running her hate album.
32:04
Speaker 2: Well, Mike Vrabel went viral for what he did getting
32:06
Speaker 2: into the car. Did you see that whole thing? Did
32:08
Speaker 2: he hold the door? No, he says, she was walking
32:13
Speaker 2: behind him. He opens the door. He opens the door
32:16
Speaker 2: and just jumps in and other people are like getting
32:19
Speaker 2: her in the car. Of all the people in America
32:23
Speaker 2: that need to hold the door for their woman right now.
32:27
Speaker 2: I have a list door holders needed immediately. Mike Rabel,
32:32
Speaker 2: there you go. No one needs to hold a door
32:33
Speaker 2: more than Mike Rabel does. And this guy just jumped her.
32:36
Speaker 2: He is the definition of a meat head.
32:38
Speaker 3: So you're telling me that that weekend rehab facility treatment
32:43
Speaker 3: in Utah did not do him? Wonders on how to
32:46
Speaker 3: be a better, loving, caring husband.
32:49
Speaker 2: She should have wore that sweater that he bought her
32:51
Speaker 2: to the wedding. How about the other really kind of
32:56
Speaker 2: shocking thing was who officiated the wedding?
33:01
Speaker 3: I saw it.
33:02
Speaker 2: Mister Adam Sandler was the wedding of vision.
33:05
Speaker 3: That's right. I saw that.
33:06
Speaker 2: I look, I did not bet on that one. There's
33:10
Speaker 2: also reports that he may have sang a song also.
33:13
Speaker 3: So basically this was a Adam Sandler movie coming to
33:16
Speaker 3: real life.
33:17
Speaker 2: They was Dan Patrick there at some point, I mean,
33:22
Speaker 2: and the photos keep rolling out. I mean, it's a
33:25
Speaker 2: it's a who who of randomness? Did she? As people
33:29
Speaker 2: were saying online, does do they know all these people?
33:33
Speaker 3: Like?
33:33
Speaker 2: Are they are they friends?
33:35
Speaker 3: Like?
33:36
Speaker 2: Do they do they all hang out? Like Paul McCartney,
33:38
Speaker 2: Joe went with Travis Kelsey, like, what's going on here
33:41
Speaker 2: with this?
33:42
Speaker 3: I don't know if she knows all of them. We
33:44
Speaker 3: know how reclusive she can be. I bet you Kelsey's familiar.
33:49
Speaker 3: And how much of this was just for people to
33:51
Speaker 3: say I attended that wedding. Because if the let's say
33:55
Speaker 3: they go on to have a happy, long marriage and
33:58
Speaker 3: they have you know, beautiful children, and she's writing love
34:01
Speaker 3: albums about Travis as opposed to hate albums, these people
34:05
Speaker 3: will be able to tell their kids and grandkids that
34:07
Speaker 3: they were able to attend, you know, the American version
34:10
Speaker 3: of the Royal wedding. I don't think it's gonna happen,
34:12
Speaker 3: but I could see the intrigue for one to be there,
34:15
Speaker 3: because everything she does is an event, and it was
34:19
Speaker 3: an event. The fact that it was held of the
34:20
Speaker 3: world's most famous arena, the Mecca, on the Friday before
34:23
Speaker 3: the fourth of July. So I think my invitation got
34:26
Speaker 3: lost in the mail. But had I been invited, I
34:28
Speaker 3: would have respectfully declined.
34:30
Speaker 2: Well, we went to a bigger wedding a couple of
34:32
Speaker 2: years ago, and that was the Willie Pea wedding. That
34:36
Speaker 2: to me, I would rather be at the leases at
34:39
Speaker 2: the Willie p wedding watching you harass will Conkle with
34:44
Speaker 2: Joe person rather than you know, hang out with Dean
34:47
Speaker 2: Bandino and random NFL referees. I would love to know.
34:50
Speaker 3: The over the over under on how long the wedding
34:54
Speaker 3: ceremony took for Kelsey and Swifty, because there's no way
34:58
Speaker 3: it lasted as long as Willie's. I've been to my
35:01
Speaker 3: to a fair number of weddings, not your own, yet
35:05
Speaker 3: not my own, not my best friend zone. I've never
35:08
Speaker 3: been at a wedding ceremony that lasted longer than Willy's wedding.
35:12
Speaker 3: And if there's one reason why, I I guess I'm
35:18
Speaker 3: glad I'm not Catholic. That might be one of the
35:20
Speaker 3: reasons why, because I don't know if I could get
35:22
Speaker 3: on my knees as much as we had to in
35:24
Speaker 3: that in that service.
35:25
Speaker 2: Well we not me, but uh well one of us.
35:29
Speaker 2: It might have been me. We we started watching Awake
35:32
Speaker 2: at State at the back.
35:33
Speaker 3: If you recall that that did happen, it was a
35:35
Speaker 3: pretty big bubble game there in late January. With that
35:39
Speaker 3: being said, Willy Willy had the best reception I've ever
35:43
Speaker 3: been to outside of when my dad got remarried. That
35:45
Speaker 3: was a really fun like dance.
35:47
Speaker 2: Floor awesome Willie's.
35:49
Speaker 3: The ceremony was worth the bear to get to the
35:52
Speaker 3: party where we had open bar, great DJ, the best
35:56
Speaker 3: chicken palm I've ever had in my life. And I've
35:59
Speaker 3: told Willy that if if I'm not married in five years,
36:02
Speaker 3: he needs to renew his vows and just have another
36:05
Speaker 3: party so I can have excuse to get drunk.
36:07
Speaker 2: Again when we come back here in the Mac and Boho.
36:09
Speaker 2: It sounds of the weekend, including the Canadian coach after
36:13
Speaker 2: their oustar on Saturday going full Kenny Atkinson. You're gonna
36:17
Speaker 2: hear that in more on Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
36:27
Speaker 1: What a privilege our fans have had to root a
36:30
Speaker 1: team out like this that goes after the game, that
36:32
Speaker 1: doesn't play defensive, that shows that they can be better. Right,
36:36
Speaker 1: of course, we have to be in these situations more
36:39
Speaker 1: and more, and then we have to find ways to
36:40
Speaker 1: succeed and then we have to build from that.
36:42
Speaker 3: But what a great team. I'd rather be.
36:44
Speaker 6: Us than them.
36:45
Speaker 1: As good as Morocco is, I'd rather be us, right, Like,
36:49
Speaker 1: I'm really proud of our guys. We went after the game.
36:51
Speaker 1: They're hurting right now. But my goodness, I couldn't be
36:55
Speaker 1: proud of Canada. Thanks you, Jesse, I thank Canada.
36:59
Speaker 2: Oh we say thank you, coach. We thank you for
37:01
Speaker 2: being on Sounds of the weekend. That right there is
37:04
Speaker 2: not Kenny Atkinson. That is the Canadian men's national coach.
37:07
Speaker 2: His name Randy Marsh, Jesse Randy Marsh. I'm thinking of it.
37:11
Speaker 2: That's South Park, right, I get the wrong guy there, Okay,
37:14
Speaker 2: I think that's correct. That's Jesse Marsh, not Randy Marsh.
37:17
Speaker 2: Randy Marsh would have sounded better there. You lost the game,
37:20
Speaker 2: and I get being proud of your team, but you
37:23
Speaker 2: lost a game and you're more and you'd rather be
37:26
Speaker 2: the team that lost in the team that won. Please
37:30
Speaker 2: help this make sense. That makes no sense at all.
37:32
Speaker 2: I know Jesse Marsh says some crazy things. His reputation
37:36
Speaker 2: is out there, but my god, almighty, why would you
37:38
Speaker 2: rather praise your team? But there's no way you'd rather
37:41
Speaker 2: go home than continue in the World Cup? Why here?
37:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, you wouldn't think so. But that's why Canadians are
37:46
Speaker 3: known losers.
37:48
Speaker 5: And that's why they'll always be little brother, They'll never
37:52
Speaker 5: be on tap.
37:55
Speaker 3: And I got, like at the gist, I got what
37:59
Speaker 3: he was getting at, like an incredible run for Canada.
38:03
Speaker 3: They the way that they think about perceive soccer is
38:06
Speaker 3: different now after this run then then than before it.
38:10
Speaker 3: But your team got beat three nil, like you would
38:13
Speaker 3: not rather be going home as opposerstill having the right
38:15
Speaker 3: time place.
38:16
Speaker 2: Know how this operates, Hey, we'd rather go You don't
38:18
Speaker 2: see an NCAA tournament coach say, you know what, we'd
38:21
Speaker 2: rather be knocked out in this round, and uh, we
38:23
Speaker 2: don't want to go to the elite days, so we don't.
38:25
Speaker 2: We don't have time for that.
38:28
Speaker 3: I saw that in the y'all both sent that audio
38:31
Speaker 3: to the group chain. It was one of the first
38:32
Speaker 3: things I pulled this morning because I was like, we're
38:34
Speaker 3: gonna play and and and expose this agreed, egregious comment.
38:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, it didn't, it didn't make it. It didn't make
38:40
Speaker 2: a whole lot. I mean it made I mean, yeah,
38:42
Speaker 2: I get you're proud of your team, but you went
38:46
Speaker 2: too far. You just you went you went a step
38:49
Speaker 2: too far there, Fitty, what's next here? In our Sounds
38:53
Speaker 2: of the weekend.
38:53
Speaker 3: I mentioned it in the first segment we were talking
38:56
Speaker 3: about the flow Balligan red card being overturned, which I
39:00
Speaker 3: saw on Twitter. There was a news outlet reporting that
39:04
Speaker 3: Belgium has been granted the right to protest this decision.
39:08
Speaker 3: So this could be a whole day's worth of drama
39:11
Speaker 3: leading up to the match tonight at eight o'clock on Fox.
39:14
Speaker 3: But here is US men's national team manager Mauricio Pochettino
39:19
Speaker 3: and oppressor yesterday saying that he felt like the US
39:22
Speaker 3: was punished enough not having ball again against Bosnia last week.
39:26
Speaker 4: The Belgian coach said he thought it was April Fool's
39:28
Speaker 4: Day and I thought he might get a reaction from you,
39:31
Speaker 4: and that as well. My reaction, I think is like
39:35
Speaker 4: everyone that I really loved at the sport and trust
39:40
Speaker 4: on the ethic and integnity, you know, I think we
39:44
Speaker 4: celebrate all that decision. We will punished enough again bosniar
39:49
Speaker 4: Segovina to play with ten men thirty minutes in a
39:54
Speaker 4: decision that goes complete unfair. But it's not only because
39:58
Speaker 4: I am the head coach of the main national team
40:00
Speaker 4: I need to defend my my site. Is only because
40:03
Speaker 4: I seen he's a ninety nine percent because always some people,
40:08
Speaker 4: you know, but ninety nine point ninety percent that we
40:12
Speaker 4: all you know, agree that was an unfair red card.
40:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not his it's not his fault or the
40:18
Speaker 2: player's fault. They have nothing to apologize for there at
40:21
Speaker 2: all this. You know, a decision was made, and we
40:24
Speaker 2: can talk about maybe how that decision ended up being
40:28
Speaker 2: made there, but he's he's got nothing to apologize for.
40:31
Speaker 2: He's getting ready for a game. He's got one of
40:33
Speaker 2: his best players in there and they're ready to go.
40:35
Speaker 2: And also it needs to be said here, well it
40:38
Speaker 2: flows a really good player. Beligan's really good and he's
40:41
Speaker 2: really important to the cause, no question about it. But
40:44
Speaker 2: Belgium and the non US fans are acting like they
40:47
Speaker 2: got Holland or Messi or a Bape in this game. Look,
40:50
Speaker 2: he's good, but Belgium, if you're good, go go play man,
40:54
Speaker 2: help go play like this is not this is not
40:56
Speaker 2: paylight here. He's good, but Belgium's acting they you know,
41:01
Speaker 2: the world's greatest player got ruled eligible for this game.
41:04
Speaker 3: Well maybe they know something that we don't, and that
41:06
Speaker 3: they know that he is going to become the next
41:08
Speaker 3: Messy the next and bopping the next holand he's gonna
41:10
Speaker 3: score dozens of dozens and goals on the World Cup stage.
41:14
Speaker 3: What I took away from that comment and all the
41:16
Speaker 3: different audio that I listened to Po Pacino yesterday. We
41:21
Speaker 3: talked about this last week. Bone. We don't know his
41:23
Speaker 3: future with the US men's national team, but we know
41:27
Speaker 3: that that he's left a lasting impact. And it's easy
41:30
Speaker 3: to say this has happened because they're making a historic
41:33
Speaker 3: run in the World Cup. He's really, I think, embraced
41:38
Speaker 3: the American culture and kind of like engraved his way
41:42
Speaker 3: into the US soccer fan's mind.
41:44
Speaker 2: Great stuff to.
41:45
Speaker 3: Where like I think, I don't know where a lot
41:48
Speaker 3: of people were going into the World Cup if they
41:50
Speaker 3: wanted him here for the next one, if they want
41:52
Speaker 3: him to move on. But as someone that's you know,
41:56
Speaker 3: just coming back into the sport, I'd like to see
41:59
Speaker 3: this guy be here from the long haul because I
42:02
Speaker 3: like seeing my manager on that stage defend my player
42:06
Speaker 3: when a decision that was out of his out of
42:08
Speaker 3: his control as being questioned and criticized.
42:11
Speaker 2: Can we hear and I apologize? I couldn't find his
42:14
Speaker 2: name I saw Barstool tweeted out, it's the European soccer
42:18
Speaker 2: analyst from the from the Sun. Can we I'm sure
42:23
Speaker 2: Willie Pe knows this guy. I'm sure Willie Pe knows
42:25
Speaker 2: all these guys. But can we hear my man here
42:27
Speaker 2: that is very unhappy with what happened yesterday in the
42:31
Speaker 2: in the ruling of Ploe Balgan.
42:33
Speaker 6: It is quite simply the most shameful decision in the
42:35
Speaker 6: history of the World Cup, No questions cool. To allow
42:41
Speaker 6: USA striker fellow In Balagan to play against Belgium after
42:44
Speaker 6: he was sent off for a violent conduct red card
42:47
Speaker 6: following a var intervention defies belief, defies integrity, defies everything
42:54
Speaker 6: the game is about. FIFA's darkest day, they say, was
42:57
Speaker 6: when the FBI raided their head call's hotel in Zurich
43:01
Speaker 6: in twenty fifteen. This is worse. Whatever you thought about
43:06
Speaker 6: the people who ran football, the game itself mattered. The
43:10
Speaker 6: integrity of the game was what counted. Football was played
43:15
Speaker 6: according to the rules, not anymore. The rule book has
43:21
Speaker 6: been destroyed. It's a despicable, disgraceful, shameless, outrageous decisions. Whatever
43:28
Speaker 6: happens this World Cup has now been stained irreparably. I
43:34
Speaker 6: don't have a dog in the race. I don't care
43:35
Speaker 6: who wins. Between Belgium and the USA. But I care
43:38
Speaker 6: about football. I care about the image of the game.
43:42
Speaker 6: I care about the integrity of the game that has
43:45
Speaker 6: all been destroyed by this decision.
43:48
Speaker 2: City isn't FIFA one of the most corrupt organizations this
43:52
Speaker 2: side of the Olympic Committee? Like, let's not act like
43:55
Speaker 2: this is something new here, but it just happens to be.
43:57
Speaker 2: The US is now on the side that got the
44:01
Speaker 2: ruling on this one, So let's not act like FIFA
44:04
Speaker 2: was high up on the pedestal of the High and
44:08
Speaker 2: Mighty for goodyear this whole way through. Look how of
44:10
Speaker 2: the last World Cup got the word got like the
44:13
Speaker 2: location wise right.
44:16
Speaker 3: Bone. If the US falls tonight and then this this,
44:20
Speaker 3: this comes to.
44:20
Speaker 2: An end, all we better not.
44:23
Speaker 3: Is this gonna be the main talking point when the
44:25
Speaker 3: World Cup comes to a conclusion in less than two weeks,
44:28
Speaker 3: Like let's say in Bape gets you know, gets France
44:31
Speaker 3: back to the World Cup final. Let's say Messi repeats
44:34
Speaker 3: at his age. Let's say erling Holland carries Norway all
44:38
Speaker 3: the way to a World Cup title and it goes
44:41
Speaker 3: on one of the greatest individual runs. I think those
44:44
Speaker 3: will be the main storylines that emerge when this event
44:48
Speaker 3: is all setting over. Now, granted, if the US wins
44:51
Speaker 3: tonight and they advance and let's say they get to
44:53
Speaker 3: the Semis, God forbid, they were to get to the final,
44:57
Speaker 3: this would be a talking piece about it. This be
45:00
Speaker 3: a conversation around what enabled their run. But look at
45:04
Speaker 3: all the different soccer pundits that we pulled audio of
45:08
Speaker 3: last week after the red card, whether they were American
45:13
Speaker 3: or non American, disagreeing with the red card decision, and
45:19
Speaker 3: for four days later, the red card gets rescinded, like.
45:23
Speaker 2: A red card that probably shouldn't have been read in
45:26
Speaker 2: the moment, Yes, like.
45:27
Speaker 3: Was it was it a was it a foul? Was
45:30
Speaker 3: it a yellow? Sell me on that you could convince
45:33
Speaker 3: me of that was it? Was it a red? No?
45:37
Speaker 3: And so I think that's what's at the root of
45:41
Speaker 3: this of this decision. But when you have the corruption
45:44
Speaker 3: that exists within an organization like FIFA, and then you
45:48
Speaker 3: have the reports coming out that the the presidential office
45:52
Speaker 3: of the host nation got involved with this, it's not
45:54
Speaker 3: going to help the claims about corruption being involved.
45:57
Speaker 2: Once again, No, it's just it Usually the US doesn't
46:02
Speaker 2: matter enough to be involved in the corrupt nature of
46:06
Speaker 2: of of the World Cup, especially at this stage. But
46:09
Speaker 2: right now we are and if you want a lawyer up,
46:13
Speaker 2: you want to go to courts, Fitty, you want to
46:15
Speaker 2: do all this? Hey, that's what we do, baby, That's
46:18
Speaker 2: our sports world, isn't it. You want to go to
46:20
Speaker 2: the courtsman, let's go bring it.
46:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, the US will just hire the Carolina lawyers. I
46:24
Speaker 3: got them off for after twenty five years of academics wrong.
46:28
Speaker 2: We'll do the old sores be Alabama basketball trick. We'll
46:31
Speaker 2: find it. We'll find a judge. We'll find Judge Mathisle
46:35
Speaker 2: on this. Judge Judy will rule on this. On the
46:38
Speaker 2: text line. Right now, it feels like a lot of
46:40
Speaker 2: people are telling uh, the European analysts to shut up.
46:44
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of pro American support right now.
46:47
Speaker 2: Fitty even bebop is it? Except for one man? Fitty
46:52
Speaker 2: Bagel Guy is upset that America has benefited from this.
46:56
Speaker 2: So it's official Bagel Guy. Now, I believe rooting against
46:59
Speaker 2: some go tonight. I think I think that's what's going on.
47:01
Speaker 3: What not surprise me in the slightest did you see
47:05
Speaker 3: and I said a sweet out about this last night
47:07
Speaker 3: did you see the number of Sopranos memes that came
47:11
Speaker 3: out after this, after this decision, where you got like.
47:14
Speaker 2: I saw a stone called Steve Austin was gonna ref
47:16
Speaker 2: this game. I saw that meme come out.
47:17
Speaker 3: There were so many a Pauly Walnutch or Christopher Multasanti
47:21
Speaker 3: or like he's on the phone calling it's it's done,
47:24
Speaker 3: t Battlegan. I mean the amount of Sopranos memes I
47:28
Speaker 3: saw yesterday. I retweeted at least fifteen to twenty of them.
47:31
Speaker 3: It was great, and I mean great social media kind.
47:35
Speaker 2: It goes without saying, though, even more than before, we
47:39
Speaker 2: better win this game tonight. We we if we're gonna
47:43
Speaker 2: get the benefit of that decision, and we're gonna run
47:47
Speaker 2: with this with the confidence that we now have would
47:49
Speaker 2: flow in there as a country. Let's let's not let's
47:54
Speaker 2: not disappoint tonight. What's and let's not even make this
47:57
Speaker 2: very I know it's probably gonna be close, but let's
48:00
Speaker 2: make a statement tonight that hey, we were beating no
48:02
Speaker 2: matter what tonight. So when we come back here on
48:05
Speaker 2: the mack and bow shoe more on flow being in,
48:08
Speaker 2: we're gonna read reaction. We're gonna ask the audience, how
48:11
Speaker 2: do you feel about this development and how it went down?
48:15
Speaker 2: You okay with Flow being in there, or do you say, ah,
48:18
Speaker 2: little shady for my needs. A bagel guy did Sports
48:21
Speaker 2: radio ninety two seven WFNZ
