6-19: World Cup Fever! Can We Keep The Scots And Deport The Libs?! · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:04
Speaker 1: Here we go. We need some Friday fun. No more
0:06
Speaker 1: stories about you know, Iran deals and bombing plots foiled
0:09
Speaker 1: and all this other crap. Although very important, let's talk
0:12
Speaker 1: about something that I think, in my little pea brain
0:14
Speaker 1: is just as important culturally. This whole World Cup thing.
0:17
Speaker 1: I didn't expect it either. No did a whole thing
0:19
Speaker 1: on this the other day about all the different fans
0:21
Speaker 1: loving America. I did not expect these foreign fans and
0:24
Speaker 1: what they've realized about our own country with their eyes
0:26
Speaker 1: to realize how great we are. I did not expect this.
0:29
Speaker 1: And as one fan group in one culture in particular,
0:33
Speaker 1: we need to keep here. Don't let them go, don't
0:35
Speaker 1: let no keep them here, don't don't don't even let
0:38
Speaker 1: them leave. Grab the visas if you have to. We
0:40
Speaker 1: need these Scottish fans here, possibly forever. Can we make
0:42
Speaker 1: like New England and maybe the northeast just West Scotland
0:47
Speaker 1: because they've been amazing. But it's more than that, though,
0:49
Speaker 1: it really is. There's something deeper to this whole thing.
0:51
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about the drinking and the party and in
0:53
Speaker 1: the No Scotland, No party, and they've been amazing. But
0:57
Speaker 1: this whole World Cup experience thing. Honestly, I mean this,
1:00
Speaker 1: This has shown a lot of us me anyway, I
1:02
Speaker 1: can't be alone in this exactly how alike a lot
1:07
Speaker 1: of us are. It's been fantastic and we've got to
1:10
Speaker 1: get into that whole thing. We'll get into it in
1:12
Speaker 1: just a little bit here, by the way, World Cup stuff.
1:14
Speaker 1: If you're into watching the games, it's still a lot
1:16
Speaker 1: about soccer. I don't understand, but the fans I get.
1:20
Speaker 1: I get one hundred percent USA, Go Team USA. It's
1:22
Speaker 1: not just gonna be about Scotland today. We're playing Australia
1:24
Speaker 1: this afternoon, so hopefully you're talking about and thinking about
1:28
Speaker 1: a win if you're watching or listening to this later on.
1:30
Speaker 1: And Scotland itself has taken on Morocco. That means this
1:33
Speaker 1: is why it's relevant. They're back in New England. They
1:36
Speaker 1: arrived in Boston, they drank the town dry, They ventured
1:39
Speaker 1: out in New York, Rhode Island, some of them went,
1:42
Speaker 1: you know, a little further out into the country. But
1:43
Speaker 1: then they came back for the game and they're partying
1:46
Speaker 1: even harder than before. We'll get into it. Thanks for
1:48
Speaker 1: finding Wicked Radio Friday fun like I said live stream
1:51
Speaker 1: and replay ex YouTube and Facebook, and the audio podcast
1:54
Speaker 1: as always posted shortly thereafter wherever you like to get him.
1:57
Speaker 1: You can't talk about this group of people without talking
2:01
Speaker 1: about the drinking. It's part of it. Just is no Scotland,
2:04
Speaker 1: no party. It's a hashtag, it's a saying, it's a
2:06
Speaker 1: chance they've had there. I'm learning for decades they've said
2:09
Speaker 1: this forever. Now the rest of the world because their
2:11
Speaker 1: team happens to be in this tournament, we're all learning
2:13
Speaker 1: this whole thing. But this is a part of our culture.
2:16
Speaker 1: We've had in America for centuries. It's been a big
2:20
Speaker 1: part of this entire thing. Now we all know about
2:22
Speaker 1: it and it's well documented. And even though all of
2:24
Speaker 1: the fans have been great, the Japanese have been amazing,
2:26
Speaker 1: the Dutch, the Germans have been a lot of fun.
2:29
Speaker 1: I guess the uh the all the English people have
2:33
Speaker 1: been fantastic as too. It's their game. They love it.
2:36
Speaker 1: There's something special about this group of people. We're gonna
2:38
Speaker 1: key in on here and you all know what it's about.
2:40
Speaker 1: When others drop off, the Scots just keep on going.
2:44
Speaker 1: And now the beer's disappearing in Boston. You guys are
2:47
Speaker 1: drinking this whole city dry.
2:48
Speaker 2: You know that? Ah?
2:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, we need three assurances from the Mayor of Boston
2:53
Speaker 3: now that will be sufficional alcohol.
2:54
Speaker 4: We were in Cheers Bar yesterday for two pints. I
2:58
Speaker 4: misstayed for twenty Now obviously, now any other culture, what
3:02
Speaker 4: will we do as Americans if we went to any
3:06
Speaker 4: of the town Munich, London, Glasgow, anything, right, if we
3:11
Speaker 4: could get away with it, we would cause disruption and
3:13
Speaker 4: fights and they'd be problems and all this other stuff.
3:15
Speaker 1: Find me, dig deep into the stories, into the archives
3:17
Speaker 1: and find me any stories of arrests, fights, vandalism, mayhem
3:22
Speaker 1: and either Boston, Providence or New York where they've been
3:25
Speaker 1: for their entire time in the journey. For the ones
3:27
Speaker 1: they haven't gone home, find them because I can't. It's
3:29
Speaker 1: been unbelievable. And as far as the drinking part of this,
3:32
Speaker 1: this is where it affects the local economy up there
3:34
Speaker 1: as well. How about this, they've literally the reporter wasn't kidding,
3:38
Speaker 1: they've drunk Boston dry. Well, what do you mean? You're
3:42
Speaker 1: talking about a big metropolitan city, what are you talking about?
3:46
Speaker 1: They're the dublin Er, famous Boston bar ran out of kegs.
3:51
Speaker 1: They tried to tenants. I guess it's a big Scottish beer.
3:54
Speaker 1: They tried to provide as many kegs as they possibly could.
3:57
Speaker 1: An emergency order had to be put in. There's a
3:59
Speaker 1: famous bar in Boston called the Black Rose, which has
4:01
Speaker 1: been around since ironically nineteen seventy six, it's just about
4:05
Speaker 1: fifty years old. They ran out. In a fifty year history,
4:09
Speaker 1: that bar, in particular, the Black Rose in Boston has
4:12
Speaker 1: never ever, ever run out of beer ever. And it happened.
4:17
Speaker 1: They drank Boston dry. And if you talk to any
4:21
Speaker 1: of the and they've done a bunch of interviews with
4:24
Speaker 1: obviously you saw the local cops, but the local bartenders,
4:26
Speaker 1: they've been fantastic. And I go again is part of
4:29
Speaker 1: the story here. Where are the incidents where the incidents
4:32
Speaker 1: of violence and spend problems in disruption. And compare that
4:35
Speaker 1: to the Knicks celebration parade that just happened yesterday for
4:38
Speaker 1: their World championship fights in Mayhem and this and that.
4:41
Speaker 1: Note no, not with these folks. They just want to
4:44
Speaker 1: come enjoy and party. And there's another part of this
4:46
Speaker 1: thing why we need to keep them here they're cleaning
4:48
Speaker 1: up after themselves. This is different, something we're not used
4:51
Speaker 1: to listen to. This Boston sanitation worker so apparently in
4:54
Speaker 1: I think he's in Boston Common And this was from
4:57
Speaker 1: the weekend. It's a couple of days old. But they
4:59
Speaker 1: gathered up all of the extra bottles and they put
5:00
Speaker 1: them in neat piles and for the people to clean up.
5:03
Speaker 1: When they got to work Monday morning. They deep man,
5:05
Speaker 1: and they could drink too.
5:06
Speaker 5: What are you kidding me?
5:08
Speaker 2: Man?
5:08
Speaker 5: They must have gotten the water over there, scholar. After
5:12
Speaker 5: they're gone, I'm one person cleaning up after them.
5:15
Speaker 2: Man.
5:15
Speaker 5: And it ain't that bad. They came conducted theyself, man,
5:18
Speaker 5: with class dingdity man, and they lack our city, so
5:22
Speaker 5: I'm happy they came.
5:23
Speaker 4: Man.
5:24
Speaker 1: So obviously in Boston's just one example. And you see
5:27
Speaker 1: in this here you are with other cultures and different
5:29
Speaker 1: fans in different cities, Like the people in Dallas are
5:31
Speaker 1: loving the Japanese and the Japanese are loving them. There's
5:33
Speaker 1: a I don't know what's going on here, and maybe
5:36
Speaker 1: I'm maybe my antenna is up to it because most
5:39
Speaker 1: of my heritage is Scotch Irish whatever, So I'm just
5:42
Speaker 1: aware of this, but there's an appreciation for them coming
5:47
Speaker 1: over here and not believe in the media stories they
5:49
Speaker 1: were told about about the United States, and then the
5:52
Speaker 1: welcoming arms of Americans welcoming them the real people, you know,
5:56
Speaker 1: not the not the elites, not the people that think
5:58
Speaker 1: they're elites, and not the media stories about it. It's
6:01
Speaker 1: been a beautiful thing. Listen to this fine lassie now,
6:03
Speaker 1: I can't understand half of what she's saying, but I
6:05
Speaker 1: love her already. They had to put subtitles because she's
6:09
Speaker 1: got such a such a thick accent, but basically what
6:12
Speaker 1: she's saying is she's loving the Americans and her experience
6:15
Speaker 1: over here.
6:16
Speaker 2: Lordon, guys, boss, it's about half past eight. I'm sorry
6:22
Speaker 2: outside my apparently bother. I just had a coffee and
6:24
Speaker 2: I just wanted to do a video while the sheets
6:27
Speaker 2: are quiet every once obviously sleeping and hanging us off.
6:30
Speaker 2: I just wanted to do a video to the people
6:33
Speaker 2: who Boston, just to say thank you. Honestly, I've spent
6:37
Speaker 2: the last twenty four hours quite emotional. Won't lie. The
6:40
Speaker 2: America and that we are experiencing right now is the
6:43
Speaker 2: America we were promised growing up the American dream, you
6:46
Speaker 2: know that I did, and being fully honest, that was
6:49
Speaker 2: not the America.
6:51
Speaker 1: Okay, three quarters of it I can't understand, but basically,
6:54
Speaker 1: basically the tone of it is, it's not what she
6:56
Speaker 1: was told growing up what America was going to be.
6:58
Speaker 1: And it's been just absolutely amazing so far. And I
7:00
Speaker 1: would bet you a little bit different because cultural culturally,
7:03
Speaker 1: I think it's just so similar and there's things they
7:05
Speaker 1: could recognize in Boston and Providence, even a little bit
7:07
Speaker 1: of New York. But I think she would probably say
7:11
Speaker 1: the same thing if the tournament was in Chicago, if
7:13
Speaker 1: their game was was there, or if they went to
7:14
Speaker 1: la Maybe not to the extent of which the in
7:16
Speaker 1: the in the Northeast, but probably the same thing because
7:19
Speaker 1: the other fans of other cultures are saying the same thing.
7:22
Speaker 1: And then they've just been going through these towns and
7:24
Speaker 1: these cities and and and assimilating them. And they brought
7:26
Speaker 1: their freaking bagpipes and they're joining in with the guys
7:28
Speaker 1: who were the drummers on the you know, the empty
7:31
Speaker 1: plastic carts. It's like I said, they're back in They're
7:42
Speaker 1: back in New England region for their game. That's happening.
7:45
Speaker 1: I guess tonight with Morocco. You know again, I'm not
7:47
Speaker 1: in Nex's and those guys when it comes to soccer.
7:49
Speaker 1: I'm just following the cultural stuff. But they did do
7:51
Speaker 1: a little day trip. They took some day trips to
7:53
Speaker 1: New York. What they think of that?
7:55
Speaker 2: A few hours in New York City?
7:57
Speaker 3: How's it been?
7:58
Speaker 2: What have you notice?
7:59
Speaker 1: First?
7:59
Speaker 4: As good as?
8:04
Speaker 1: Whoops? Sorry New York? All right, But there's another element
8:07
Speaker 1: of this whole thing which is just awesome. This is
8:08
Speaker 1: why we need to keep Scotland's famous Tartan Army has
8:12
Speaker 1: set Boston a buzz with its World Cup spirit and now.
8:15
Speaker 3: The group's passion. It's making an appearance off the pitch.
8:18
Speaker 3: The fans visited Horizons for Homeless Children in Roxbury Tuesday.
8:22
Speaker 3: They tore the center, played bagpipes for children on the
8:25
Speaker 3: playground and made a twelve hundred dollars donation.
8:28
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what other group of people I've never heard?
8:32
Speaker 1: Maybe it is, Maybe it's a thing I don't know,
8:34
Speaker 1: another World Cups, maybe like the Dutch go to their
8:37
Speaker 1: city and they put together a charitable effort or whatever.
8:40
Speaker 1: I've just never heard of that. Ever, these aren't This
8:42
Speaker 1: isn't an organization. This isn't like a whatever nonprofit you're
8:46
Speaker 1: talking about. These are dudes who showed up, They asked
8:49
Speaker 1: around where the local children's hospital is, showed up and
8:53
Speaker 1: they said, hey, can we play our bagpipes for them?
8:55
Speaker 1: And we've raised some money at the bar where we
8:57
Speaker 1: just came from, probably the Black Rose. Can we make this?
9:01
Speaker 1: Would she say fifteen twelve hundred donation I don't know
9:03
Speaker 1: what it was, and donate money? Who does that? And
9:06
Speaker 1: they planned to do that. It's just amazing. We need
9:10
Speaker 1: more of this and we're capable of it. It's fantastic.
9:13
Speaker 1: And then I thought this was fascinating as well. If
9:16
Speaker 1: you look into the culture of this whole thing, it's
9:17
Speaker 1: probably fascinating only to me. So maybe this is why
9:21
Speaker 1: this particular group of people with the Scots and the
9:23
Speaker 1: fans coming over here are taking so keenly to the US.
9:26
Speaker 1: Maybe so maybe they got here and they said, oh,
9:29
Speaker 1: that's not what we were told at all, that's not
9:30
Speaker 1: what like what the media reports of the US are like.
9:33
Speaker 1: And maybe they felt something some sort of a kinship
9:35
Speaker 1: to it, because this is actually part of our history,
9:38
Speaker 1: you know, the whole West Virginia area and the Appalachian
9:41
Speaker 1: mostly the Scots went there. They did that. I mean,
9:43
Speaker 1: that explains the Appalachian accent. It was. It was like
9:46
Speaker 1: a from a thick Scottish Gaelic accent. It was. That's
9:50
Speaker 1: a little too deep, but still doesn't it make sense?
9:52
Speaker 1: They would start hitting the bars in and around New
9:55
Speaker 1: England and even outside of New England a little bit
9:58
Speaker 1: and start singing Country Home, Own, Country Roads, the John
10:01
Speaker 1: Denver song. Somehow this fits fits guys, it just does perfect.
10:19
Speaker 1: But there's something else did is And this is what
10:20
Speaker 1: I'm getting at. This is why I kind of, you know,
10:22
Speaker 1: put that in the cheeky headline. Can we just keep
10:24
Speaker 1: the Scots here and deport the Libs? Okay? I couldn't
10:28
Speaker 1: think of anything else to say, because basically that's the
10:30
Speaker 1: whole thing of it. That's not the only song they
10:32
Speaker 1: started singing. And if you've paid attention to this, so
10:34
Speaker 1: you've seen some of the news reports of these bar
10:37
Speaker 1: songs that break out, it's not just no Scotland, no
10:40
Speaker 1: party in the chant. It's not just country roads. This
10:43
Speaker 1: has been happening too. Word for word, loud as hell,
10:48
Speaker 1: enjoyous voice. You know what they're doing, and there are
10:51
Speaker 1: there are documented videos of this happening in New York too.
10:54
Speaker 1: It wasn't just in bossedon no providence. They're singing our
10:57
Speaker 1: national anthem? Perfect what hand over heart? Our national anthem?
11:21
Speaker 1: At the bar, probably waiting for them to import more tenants,
11:25
Speaker 1: but still, who does that? They do that? Fantastic again,
11:29
Speaker 1: beating a dead horse. Where are the reports that you
11:32
Speaker 1: see all kinds of reports of that, and the singing
11:33
Speaker 1: and the dancing and the party in the streets, and
11:35
Speaker 1: the charitable efforts, where the fights And these are people
11:37
Speaker 1: that can fight, trust me on this one, that will
11:40
Speaker 1: if you push them and back them into a corner.
11:42
Speaker 1: There's none of that. They came to this country to
11:44
Speaker 1: party and drink and have a good time, spend money,
11:47
Speaker 1: enjoy the local economy, help out with charitable efforts, have
11:51
Speaker 1: some high jinks, fun, put cones on, you know, local statues.
11:54
Speaker 1: You're seeing that happen too. When was the last time
11:57
Speaker 1: you went to any kind of a bar and randomly
12:00
Speaker 1: country anywhere, anywhere in the country, at a sports bar,
12:02
Speaker 1: any kind of bar, and you had a bunch of
12:03
Speaker 1: people just randomly break out in the national anthem. Maybe
12:07
Speaker 1: you had a big championship game you're watching, maybe the
12:09
Speaker 1: big big event, whatever it is, this is, this is
12:13
Speaker 1: something special. Now, this reason why I bring this up,
12:16
Speaker 1: and I put that in the headline. Let's keep them
12:18
Speaker 1: and deport the libs. By libs, I mean not your
12:20
Speaker 1: traditional bleeding heart you know, hippie libs that still love
12:22
Speaker 1: this country. I mean the ones that and you know
12:24
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. They're looking at all of the
12:27
Speaker 1: America two fifty celebration stuff and going, oh, it's just
12:31
Speaker 1: how ugh, how can you celebrate this country with that guy?
12:35
Speaker 1: How can you? Oh, we have so many problems. Oh,
12:38
Speaker 1: it's just those people, right, you know who I'm talking about.
12:41
Speaker 1: That's who we need to get rid of. All right,
12:42
Speaker 1: we can't get rid of them. But still, now juxtapose
12:46
Speaker 1: the Scots singing perfectly our national anthem while hammered in
12:50
Speaker 1: the bars in and around New England. And this story
12:53
Speaker 1: that popped up on CNN before I saw it on CNN,
12:56
Speaker 1: and I think this is actually where they got it.
12:57
Speaker 1: I happened to see this and you may have to.
12:59
Speaker 1: It was a quick little headline New York Post. They
13:00
Speaker 1: picked this is two days ago, and I went, huh,
13:03
Speaker 1: I can't really be that can't be that accurate. And
13:06
Speaker 1: it said this, only twenty seven percent of Democrats will
13:09
Speaker 1: display American flag in July fourth. The first thing I
13:12
Speaker 1: thought was, that's a little all right, let's dig deeper
13:15
Speaker 1: into that. That can't be right. And maybe you're talking
13:17
Speaker 1: about and I can't you know, maybe you're out of
13:18
Speaker 1: town in July fourth, you can't display your flag. Maybe
13:20
Speaker 1: you don't have one right now, maybe it got ripped
13:22
Speaker 1: and you want to you don't want a crappy looking flag. No, no,
13:26
Speaker 1: it's CNN followed up with this Believe it or Not,
13:30
Speaker 1: and they found the.
13:31
Speaker 2: Meaning of the fourth When we asked voters about this,
13:34
Speaker 2: what do most of them say at this point?
13:36
Speaker 6: This to me is one of the most stunning divides
13:39
Speaker 6: that we have seen. You know, we're talking about polarization
13:42
Speaker 6: and politics. It even comes down to what you believe
13:45
Speaker 6: July fourth actually is like, what is July fourth meaning
13:48
Speaker 6: you celebrate America, friends and family time? Among Republicans, what.
13:52
Speaker 1: Do you see?
13:52
Speaker 6: You see the clear majority say it's a time to
13:54
Speaker 6: celebrate America, sixty five percent among Democrats. How are the
13:58
Speaker 6: plurality this It's a great look at that what do
14:01
Speaker 6: you see friends and family time at forty two percent
14:04
Speaker 6: versus just twenty four percent who say that what it
14:06
Speaker 6: means most of them is to celebrate America. So even
14:09
Speaker 6: on the basic question of what July for means to you,
14:12
Speaker 6: we are Republicans on one end saying celebrate America more
14:15
Speaker 6: of them say that, and Democrats on the other end
14:18
Speaker 6: saying that it means more of them to have time
14:20
Speaker 6: with friends and fams.
14:21
Speaker 1: All right, that was long, Sorry about that, but he
14:22
Speaker 1: got to the point at the end and made a
14:23
Speaker 1: good one. So that's so, even at America's two hundred
14:26
Speaker 1: and fiftieth birthday, you can't find them to say it's
14:29
Speaker 1: about celebrating this country. So again, compare that people who
14:40
Speaker 1: aren't even American singing our national anthem in perfect pitching harmony,
14:43
Speaker 1: handover heart in bars. Why is it they can appreciate
14:46
Speaker 1: our country better than we can as a whole? Why
14:48
Speaker 1: is that? I don't know. That's been my experience with
14:52
Speaker 1: this so far. I couldn't tell you a lick about soccer.
14:54
Speaker 1: I have no idea what's happening there with the game.
14:56
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't think I've sat through
14:57
Speaker 1: an entire one, although I will go USA play in Australia.
15:01
Speaker 1: But this is what I'm paying attention to. This is
15:04
Speaker 1: what it stopped me. There are once you get into
