- 4:14Speaker 1: US men's national team games. I've covered a lot of
- 4:16Speaker 1: Major League soccer. Um. And so I had a really
- 4:20Speaker 1: a cool, full full circle moment yesterday and I interviewed
- 4:25Speaker 1: the nicest athlete that I have ever met, by a
- 4:29Speaker 1: million miles. And he is the most famous athlete that
- 4:32Speaker 1: I've ever interviewed, and it was Harry Kane. Wow. He
- 4:35Speaker 1: is the captain of Tottenham Hotspur, which was the stadium
- 4:38Speaker 1: that we were in. He's the captain of the English
- 4:40Speaker 1: national team, which is insane. He is an incredibly gifted
- 4:45Speaker 1: football players. He could toss the coin. I asked him
- 4:48Speaker 1: all about it. I asked him if he was nervous,
- 4:50Speaker 1: a big brainy fan, so um, I got to guys.
- 4:54Speaker 1: He I blacked out, like I was so amped. I
- 4:58Speaker 1: was way more excited than I was, like nervous to
- 5:00Speaker 1: talk to Sam. And then as soon as I met him,
- 5:02Speaker 1: he was so nice and like right when he got here,
- 5:05Speaker 1: Andy Greg, my boss and producer that was in LA,
- 5:09Speaker 1: was just like, are you ready to go in thirty seconds?
- 5:10Speaker 1: If we get to you in thirty secs, like literally handsching,
- 5:12Speaker 1: rache banetta, are you ready in thirty seconds? Yes, I'm ready.
- 5:16Speaker 1: I'm ready to go. And so I'm kind of I'm like, Harry,
- 5:19Speaker 1: we're gonna go live like literally right now? Is that
- 5:20Speaker 1: okay with you? And He's just like, yeah, that's totally
- 5:22Speaker 1: fine with me. Let's go, let's do this. And I
- 5:23Speaker 1: was like okay, three two, And then they're like and
- 5:25Speaker 1: we're going to commercial, right, Well, okay, yeah, we're you
- 5:27Speaker 1: guys are gonna actually be there for a couple minutes.
- 5:29Speaker 1: We're gonna go to a commercial break. If you can
- 5:30Speaker 1: just entertain Harry came for a couple of minutes, that
- 5:32Speaker 1: would be great. Oh my god. So I was just like,
- 5:34Speaker 1: oh no, I'm not very good at tap dancing with
- 5:39Speaker 1: people like I can tap dance when I'm just like
- 5:41Speaker 1: talking to myself and like on a podcast, that's fine.
- 5:43Speaker 1: But when it's with somebody who I am like yours cool,
- 5:47Speaker 1: I have hard time being normal. So a couple of
- 5:51Speaker 1: seconds in I was just like, so, Harry, I was
- 5:53Speaker 1: actually at the last World Cup. I was in Russia,
- 5:55Speaker 1: and he goes, oh, how did you like that? And
- 5:57Speaker 1: I was like, well, I ended up in the hospital
- 5:59Speaker 1: and I got like, oh my move because I ate
- 6:00Speaker 1: too many hot bags. And I was like uh. I
- 6:05Speaker 1: was like, that was information that you did not need it,
- 6:09Speaker 1: you did not need, but now you have. And he
- 6:12Speaker 1: was very nice and laughed about it. But I was
- 6:14Speaker 1: just like, ah, you can't ask Ben edit a tap dance.
- 6:17Speaker 1: She's gonna say weird things. Anyways, they came back from
- 6:21Speaker 1: commercial and I got to interview him live on air,
- 6:23Speaker 1: and this is what it sounded like. All right, this
- 6:26Speaker 1: is a man that needs no introduction in this house.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Harry Kane, you are here. What's it like to see
- 6:32Speaker 1: your your home field transformed into NFL football? Yeah, it's crazy,
- 6:36Speaker 1: to be honest. We were just talking about, you know,
- 6:39Speaker 1: the pitch level was like five meters down or wherever
- 6:41Speaker 1: it is, and it's just amazing to see it turned
- 6:44Speaker 1: into an American stadium pretty much. So yeah, looking forward
- 6:49Speaker 1: to the VAMA should be a good ball now. I know,
- 6:50Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, we were here and you
- 6:52Speaker 1: were here, and we asked you are you a football fan?
- 6:54Speaker 1: You support any teams? You said, Patriots, and you specifically
- 6:58Speaker 1: love our guys Tom Brady. Now as we know he's
- 7:02Speaker 1: no longer there, are you still supporting the Patriots. I'm
- 7:04Speaker 1: still a Patriots fan. I'm staying with him. I thought
- 7:07Speaker 1: one eye on Tom. You know, I'm good friends, so, um,
- 7:10Speaker 1: I want to see him do well. But yeah, I've
- 7:12Speaker 1: got to stay with the Patriots, you know, I'm loyal
- 7:14Speaker 1: to them now and hopefully we can turn it around. Yeah,
- 7:17Speaker 1: you said, it's a it's a transition year. Everybody relaxed.
- 7:19Speaker 1: It's a transition year. Okay, so you are doing the
- 7:21Speaker 1: coin toss today, I was asking, or are you feeling
- 7:24Speaker 1: any pressure? Have you been practicing? It's all on the wrists.
- 7:26Speaker 1: How do you feel? Uh A little nervous. Yeah, a
- 7:29Speaker 1: little bit different to what I'm used to, but uh yeah,
- 7:32Speaker 1: I guess it's a flip. It up to you what happens,
- 7:35Speaker 1: and someone's gonna be happy, someone's gonna be sad. You
- 7:37Speaker 1: really can't mess it up. Thank you so much for
- 7:39Speaker 1: your time, good luck at the World Cup, this winner
- 7:42Speaker 1: and calling him back him So those are those are
- 7:46Speaker 1: the highlights of the day. Besides the game. The game
- 7:48Speaker 1: was also very fun, Like I was like, oh, the
- 7:50Speaker 1: games around playing Linen are only link boring, but on
- 7:53Speaker 1: this we gave you a treat, we gave you a snack.
- 7:55Speaker 1: This game came down to the wire, the double doink.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Oh what a bummer Viking take the win? Oh so crazy?
- 8:03Speaker 1: Um okay, And then one more thing happened I was doing.
- 8:07Speaker 1: They asked me to do an in game hit, which
- 8:09Speaker 1: is another full circle moment because that is how that was.
- 8:12Speaker 1: My first job was being the in arena like host
- 8:15Speaker 1: for a Toronto FCA. I was up on the jumbo
- 8:17Speaker 1: tronow it was like, you know, giving away T shirts
- 8:20Speaker 1: and ice cream sandwiches, um. And so they asked me
- 8:24Speaker 1: to do an in arena hit, which was really cool.
- 8:26Speaker 1: There was thousands and thousands of people there, like sixty thousand.
- 8:31Speaker 1: You couldn't even you can't It's so many people you
- 8:33Speaker 1: can't even wrap your mind around it. So I was like,
- 8:35Speaker 1: this isn't real. It's like, this is not real. I'm
- 8:38Speaker 1: not talking to anybody, Nobody can hear me. This is
- 8:40Speaker 1: gonna be great. So I wasn't even nervous. I roll
- 8:43Speaker 1: up and then kept on saying like we we're gonna
- 8:46Speaker 1: talk to you about what you're doing after the game.
- 8:48Speaker 1: And what I was doing after the game is I
- 8:50Speaker 1: was going to a Packers bar and this place is
- 8:52Speaker 1: filled with Vikings fans. I was like, I don't think
- 8:55Speaker 1: you guys should ask me what I'm doing after this game,
- 8:57Speaker 1: and they're like, no, literally, we just wanted you to
- 9:00Speaker 1: talk about going to a like a pub and like
- 9:01Speaker 1: hanging out with London bands. And I was like, I
- 9:04Speaker 1: want to say something dumb on the Serson Dome and
- 9:09Speaker 1: so they're like, right, chill, what are you up to
- 9:11Speaker 1: after the game, And I was like, I actually have
- 9:13Speaker 1: to leave right now because I'm going to a packer bar.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Like it was like, so when we actually have a
- 9:21Speaker 1: clip of the reaction at tottam Hotspor sading to me
- 9:25Speaker 1: telling everybody that I was leaving the Vikings game to
- 9:28Speaker 1: go to a packers bar, listen to this. I want
- 9:31Speaker 1: to so, guys, that was my Sunday. That was my
- 9:50Speaker 1: Sunday filled with chaos. There were so many good games
- 9:53Speaker 1: um after that that. I mean, the Chiefs as much
- 9:56Speaker 1: as you want somebody else to be in the spotlight,
- 9:59Speaker 1: jeeves a really Patrick Holmes is very fun play back,
- 10:03Speaker 1: playing backyard football, Like he's just a blast to watch.
- 10:06Speaker 1: What was that reaction? He just some of his like
- 10:09Speaker 1: plays that he made in the red zone where whether
- 10:12Speaker 1: it was like scrambling away from pressure that was like
- 10:14Speaker 1: a sure sack and then like running around and running
- 10:17Speaker 1: right up to the line of scrimmage and then just
- 10:18Speaker 1: like tossing a little over the heading or this little
- 10:22Speaker 1: he's got like a bowling. It's like he's bowling the football.
- 10:25Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but it's it's it's
- 10:26Speaker 1: as if like he's the flash and everything just slows
- 10:31Speaker 1: down and he can just like analyze where everyone is,
- 10:35Speaker 1: what he needs to do, and he's like, easy, does it?
- 10:39Speaker 1: Chiefs game was fun. The Packers Patriots game was fun.
- 10:41Speaker 1: We're gonna talking about Bill Bellicheck in a second Lion Seahawks.
- 10:45Speaker 1: I don't know, guys. There were ninety three points scored
- 10:48Speaker 1: in that game. A lot of fun. It was messy,
- 10:52Speaker 1: and it was like, I was kind of ridiculous, ridiculous,
- 10:55Speaker 1: Like this game wasn't one that I was necessarily watching,
- 10:58Speaker 1: but dry zone is going and he kept feeling like
- 11:03Speaker 1: it was over and then you're like, wait, here comes
- 11:05Speaker 1: the Lions. You still have a chance. You can get
- 11:08Speaker 1: one stop on defense. They got a lot of fight.
- 11:10Speaker 1: They got a lot of fight, and you can be like, oh,
- 11:11Speaker 1: I played the Seahawks Roland Rachael, but oh that look
- 11:14Speaker 1: on Dan Campbell's face when they lost. He looked like
- 11:16Speaker 1: he was gonna cry on the sideline, and it broke
- 11:18Speaker 1: my heart. I'm a big Lions guy, big Lions guy.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Um what else happened? The Raiders finally got their first win.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Packers Patriots game was so fun. Um, we're gonna be
- 11:30Speaker 1: breaking down the best and the worst thing that I
- 11:31Speaker 1: saw coming up around the corner. And there's some doozies
- 11:34Speaker 1: and there, so don't go anywhere, bast Okay. The best
- 11:44Speaker 1: thing that I saw this weekend was a the ted
- 11:48Speaker 1: Lasso guys up in their booth, just like, can I
- 11:53Speaker 1: tell you that I was there five minutes before that.
- 11:55Speaker 1: I gotta get so sweet everybody, And it was a
- 12:00Speaker 1: full creep. I was a full weirdo, you guys. I
- 12:08Speaker 1: totally melt down in these situations. I'm not able to
- 12:11Speaker 1: talk to famous people. So I just got my little
- 12:14Speaker 1: I got my little snacks, and I just went and
- 12:16Speaker 1: sat by myself. Oh it's okay. I was also brain
- 12:24Speaker 1: dead and tired, so yeah, I'm gonna give myself that break.
- 12:26Speaker 1: And they had some pretty sweet seats, and I wanted
- 12:28Speaker 1: to watch the game. The game was fun. The game
- 12:30Speaker 1: was actually really fun. I'm out of my mind. Can somebody,
- 12:33Speaker 1: if you ever just see me, can you just come
- 12:34Speaker 1: say hi to me? Because I'm probably being a loser
- 12:36Speaker 1: by myself. Um, okay. The best thing that I saw
- 12:40Speaker 1: was that there was two they were singing. They were
- 12:41Speaker 1: having fun. I was there not talking to anybody. Was great.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Uh And then I also saw a massive meltdown from
- 12:48Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. That is two temper tantrums in a row.
- 12:52Speaker 1: We had Ken Dorsey last week, we got Bill Belichick
- 12:55Speaker 1: this week. I can't get enough of it. Nothing makes
- 12:58Speaker 1: me that nothing makes me that angry. Nothing. Belichick's also like,
- 13:03Speaker 1: got a third string quarterback playing the majority of the game.
- 13:06Speaker 1: What are you getting mad? Just take a second to
- 13:09Speaker 1: reflect on, Like, it's not every game has to go
- 13:15Speaker 1: perfectly as planned. Yeah, as Harry Kane said, you know
- 13:19Speaker 1: the revamping, this is a transition year, right, um. And
- 13:23Speaker 1: then the this is not This is equally the best
- 13:28Speaker 1: and the worst thing that I saw all week because
- 13:30Speaker 1: they made me laugh a lot. Um. DK Metcalfe having
- 13:34Speaker 1: to get like carded off, and I was like, oh God,
- 13:37Speaker 1: like what happened? What happened? Um? And then he well
- 13:40Speaker 1: he was getting carted off to use the bathroom. Um.
- 13:44Speaker 1: By the way. And then DK tweeted after the game
- 13:47Speaker 1: that clinchwalk wouldn't have made it so gnarly couldn't walk.
- 13:52Speaker 1: But I love that he owns it at least at
- 13:54Speaker 1: least he owns it, Like I feel like Lamar Jackson
- 13:56Speaker 1: still like, oh I don't have to go and get links. Yeah, totally,
- 13:58Speaker 1: like we all know what happened. We remember the infamous
- 14:01Speaker 1: poop walk um And maybe he should have taken a
- 14:04Speaker 1: page from from Micah Parson's book lesten to what he
- 14:07Speaker 1: said last week that that stuff doesn't phaze me. Sickness
- 14:12Speaker 1: and I could have stomach virus. I could be pooping
- 14:16Speaker 1: my pants and I still want to play. That's dedication.
- 14:20Speaker 1: That is that is dedication. You can either poop in
- 14:23Speaker 1: your pants or you can take a little cart ride
- 14:26Speaker 1: off any use the bathroom. I don't know what's better. Guys.
- 14:29Speaker 1: That is our show. We have one more week left

- 14:49Speaker 1: I fully am almost crossed over to the other side.
- 14:53Speaker 1: But I am having an absolute blast. We got packers
- 14:56Speaker 1: giants this week. I can't believe the packers are rolling
- 14:59Speaker 1: into town on Friday. I don't know how you do
- 15:01Speaker 1: that turnaround. That sounds hard. That sounds hard. But also
- 15:05Speaker 1: you've got to think the Saints were here all week
- 15:07Speaker 1: and now they got to flip back and do the
- 15:09Speaker 1: jet leg all over again going home, right. Um, okay,
