And I was out of the wrong. It's spring forward. Yeah. I said spring back. That was a mistake.

Spring forward. It's fall back. But it's this weekend. It's always screwed up. We do it. It's the

“weekend. And then the next weekend, that's selection Sunday. Yes. Hey, you ready to spring forward?”

I am. Yeah. You don't trust us? Nope. That's bullshit. It's going to be the it's going to be getting sun setting at like 6/30 this time next week. That's awesome. Yeah. We're there. We're here. Well, Max, why are you looking at me like that? You don't believe us? No, I do believe you. But I'm just now real. Never mind. Oh, time zones. It's just now I don't know. I have a flight. I have a flight this morning. So now I just realize I'm losing an hour. Yeah. You got to get there an hour

earlier. Because they don't airports don't do this. No, the airports switch it up on Monday morning. That's the fact. Because they don't want to screw up anyone on the weekend. It sucks that you have that that's taking away an hour of bar time for you, and Saturday night. Yeah, no, I'm also thinking about that. That kind of stinks. But I am happy about it. It's time travel. Yeah. You're time travel.

“Okay, boys. We got a lot to get to. But NFL pre-free agency. What off season? What off season?”

DJ more traded to the Buffalo bills for a second rounder. And then the bears. So the bears get a second rounder this year. They give also a fifth rounder next year to the bills. I'm sad to see DJ more go a little bit. Because he actually did kind of when you look at the history of DJ Moran Chicago. He took a team that sucked in terms of why receiver rooms made Justin Fields look pretty good at times. Justin Fields feel really good. Feel really good. He loved Justin Fields.

Had some unbelievable moments this year, especially the Packers walk off game in week 16. We'll always

hit my mind. And some not great moments, but it doesn't matter. He was a good bear. But it was I love this trade. I love this trade because you clear up money. He's got a big, pretty hefty contract. So you clear up money to maybe go get a max crossbee or a lender bomb. You get a pick. And you make the bet that Luther burdened in Roman doomsday are going to be taking leaps forward,

Rome now. Yeah. And Luther burden showed enough. Yeah, it was awesome. But you don't get rid of DJ more if you don't believe that Rome can step in that role. Yeah. And DJ more, when he's playing and when he's not doing bad body language, it's an awesome player. And he does do bad body language.

“He, I think he's first team, maybe Mount Rushmore of current NFL bad body language guys.”

But when he's on like that game, the game against the commanders in DC, where he had like 200 yards receiving, probably should have had 400 yards. Yeah. But the reps took away some for bullshit calls. Like you can take over game. Yeah. And so he's really good player. I like it for the bills too. I think that this is, uh, I don't think he's going to be powdering too much with Josh Allen. No, I, I, I think he's, uh, he's perfect for the bills because the bills needed a real receiver. And they

also couldn't take the risk of doing it in the draft again. Because if you, if you, if you miss on a draft pick and you have Josh Allen in his prime, it's like what the hell you're doing. So it's good for the bills. It's, again, a good for the bears as much as there, there's a small part of me that's like he's there going to be a moment during the season where it's like Roe Medunes a hasn't come on how I taking the step forward. Luther burden wasn't as good as his, you know,

rookie or showed and it's like where really could use a DJ more right now. Yeah, that could possibly happen. But again, it's trust in Ben Johnson trusted Ryan polls. And now you have money to go get another player, whether it be Max Crosby, Linda Bomber, someone else, and you have a second, an extra

“second round pick, which the bulls have to be like, how did you do it? You got another second round pick?”

We have all the selected malls. Yeah, this is like a Chicago way. Yeah. Uh, yeah, I think it's a,

it's kind of a win-win. There's never win-win. Somebody got fleece. So I think the only win-win trade

in the history of the NFL might be the McDuffee trade. Yeah. The one that just happened. Yeah. With the, the chiefs traded McDuffee to the Rams, the Rams don't give a fuck about first round picks. They got a great player. And they still have their better first round pick from the Falcons. Mm-hm. They gave up their worst first round pick. They still have it for now. For now. They still have one first round pick from the Falcons. That's the top 10 pick I think. That's to me is the

first win-win trade in the history of the NFL. This, this is close. Yeah, because I can see like, I can talk myself into it if I'm a bills fan. And if I'm a bears fan, it's one of those things where it's like kind of a bummer, but also big picture good. It was, it's good, big picture. You had to make a move like this. The, the reason why it's, it's the, the, the, the contract of D. J. Morris

“is the big thing here. He, I think he's owed, he's like 28 million dollars a year, which is a lot.”

Mm-hm. And you got two guys playing Wider Sever on the rookie deals that you hope can be good. Uh, I will miss D. J. More like he did have kind of a knack for the big moment. The Packers game, like I talked about actually both both the Packers wins, because he had the game winning touchdown and gets the Packers in the playoffs. I won't miss some of the powdering, but again,

I also was never, D. J. More got a lot of shit. I was always kind of on the side of like,

I think he, I think he's better than people realize. And I'm happy for D. J. More that he got traded to a good team because last year with the bears was his first winning season in college or professionals. Mm-hm. So he, he went through a lot of shit to get to finally be in the playoff and play for a winning team. If he had then gotten traded to maybe the Raiders, that would have probably been a bummer for D. J. More. He's going to do a good situation, Josh Allen, and he's going

to, he's probably going to light it up. His touches got, his targets got reduced because of all the weapons because of Colson Lovelin. I bet you he's going to have big time numbers this year with the bills. And that's part of the, like, I have no problem with it because Josh is going to force the ball to him. Yeah. Josh is going to make sure that he's happy because finally they have, they have somebody that can make a play. But he's going to be on D. J. More's hands and he can go.

He could have a thousand yards of, like, wow, how can you trade him? He wouldn't have had a thousand yards in this bear's offense. He's also a guy's. He's also the king of, like, he gets tackled on a play and then you think he might be out for the season. Yes. And he's back out on the field to play his latest. Toughest shit. Very tough. Toughest. He has like nine season ending injuries every season. Yeah. So you mentioned the Rams, the Trent Medoffee trade, which are the Rams is doing it correctly.

And we all think about it wrong. That, like, we, we think about how important first round picks

are. And they have been consistently good. And I know they only have once who will show for it. But they've been consistently good. Well, they've got an awesome head coach. And they've got Hall of Fame quarterback for sure. But that was also part of that was trading first round picks. So here right. Fun stat. They draft the Jared verse in the first round. Yep. It's 2024. Before Jared verse, who is the last guy that the Rams drafted in the first round? Jared golf. Yes, has to be.

Jared golf is the last guy. But seriously, they basically say, hey, instead of taking a risk on and I actually think the Jared verse one, because what was Jared verse drafted was he nine? I can't remember. I know his number is eight. His number is eight. So how I should actually put it is

10 don't matter as much. Because I think that was the telling thing where Jared verse, I don't know who's 19th. So that throws my whole theory out. I just think that if you have Sean McPhay and you have Matt Stafford, then you're able to do a lot with that. But they were doing it before then. Yeah. And they also did it to get Matthew Stafford. So it's like they basically have

realized I do I just I'm always interested in sports when there's one team that's doing things

differently. You already mean like the they're everyone is trying to hoard draft picks and be like draft draft draft draft. How do you build a team? You get a you know, rookie quarterback on the on the rookie deal. You have a five-year window and the Rams are seem to be doing the exact opposite where they're like instead of taking risks on a bunch of 21 year olds, let's get the known commodity knowing it's a crapshoot and just keep punting that down the line being like we don't

care we'll just get the really good players that we know are really good players. It's also a very dangerous strategy for teams that that don't have their shit together. Yes, because you'll see like the Rams will be successful doing this. Then other teams will be like we should try the Rams don't care about first round picks. So now I'm just going to trade for a bunch of veterans every year and

“then it just it's a disaster. I think the difference too is that a lot of teams have had these type of”

trades where they've tricked. I mean last year the you know Green Bay Packers trading for Mike Parsons. So teams take these like singular shots and big players. The Rams just do it every year. So I think it's they don't get scared off by yeah. Right. It seems like it less need has a formula of every single year. We know how much the rest of the league covet's first round picks. It's maybe the market hasn't corrected. It's overvalued so we can then go get an awesome player and

try to meet up for you for our first round. So 2017 they traded to the Titans to get up and get Jared golf in the first round. 2018 they traded their first round pick to the Patriots for Brandon Cooks. What pick was that? Don't know 2018 they traded first round pick to the Patriots for Brandon Cooks. 2019 they traded first round pick to the Falcons for Morpix, X-Pix 2020 and 2021. Both those first round picks went to the Jaguars for Jalen Ramsey. 2022, 2023 both those first round picks

went to the Lions with Goff to get Matthew Steph and then 2024 they finally used a first round pick

on Jared golf. Yeah just you know yes. So here's here's what the picks would have ended up being.

2017 Core Davis he's not in the league anymore which I always thought he was going to be awesome Western Michigan. 2018 I say when he wasn't very good right. 2019 Kill McGarry 2020 Jason 2021

“Travis at the end 2022 Lewis seen who's out of the league I believe. Yeah or maybe he's never”

enough but I know the Vikings moved on from him. Paris Johnson it seems like whatever they whatever teams have picked in the Ram's spot have not gotten guys they just know yeah that maybe the Ram's know like hey the guy that's slotted to us right now actually sucks was straight out. I just I'm always fascinated again it's you can't say definitively like the Ram's are doing it better than

everyone else because always on the Eagles or whatever actually played. Yeah never I split so that was

but you can't say definitively they're doing it better than everyone else because the only one once you roll but outside of the one year where the wheels fell off because of injuries they're in it every year they're doing something. I do think that this is a win-win trade I think that the Chiefs are happy yeah obviously McDuffie's a great player but getting getting back a first round pick and the other picks that they got for it too like that's a the Chiefs have a lot of holes. Yeah and

the Chiefs have to do kind of like a full rebuild and then the the Ram's getting a great player and while they're still in the Super Bowl win and still having a first round pick and still having the Falcon thanks to the Falcon so they've got a great first round pick. Yeah Stefan takes being cut Hank yeah money saver give him a chance early before free agency he was a good leader good player I guess we're I don't know I'm sad to see him we go tough couple weeks he got engaged

lost a Super Bowl dumped fired that's rough yeah hard goes out to I feel like it's one of

“those moves that it's a probably of a fine move as long as you then get someone you have to get”

someone yeah and he was in like in like six days it was gonna be a six million dollar hit so okay that's what I did it yeah it makes sense who do you want besides AJ Brown which which how he is said definitively it's gonna cost a one yeah no way the Eagles are trading AJ Brown unless it's a one and even then I don't he doesn't think it's likely okay so no way anything less than a

I believe like I wish they would just do all the trades and all the free agents signings

“in like a one hour window because I don't know you you guys are probably dealing with similar”

things where your your specific teams Twitter fan base like people like fallen bears Twitter just every night being like keep yourself home close everybody ball's emoji like is Max Crosby is gonna happen it's gonna happen Johnson eyeball emoji yeah two Max Crosby yeah the fuck was that is that tampering that should be tampering I don't know what tampering means but if you're like the ownership if you are the head coach of the team you can't like

reach out and talk to another player I don't know I saw that and I immediately bet on Max Crosby the Eagles on the draft like big big Dom for example is not allowed to reach out to Max Crosby as a part owner of the team partner that'd be that'd be an actionable offensive if you did that I don't believe there's a chance in hell that the Eagles would move AJ Brown

unless it's unless it included a first round pick even then I don't think they're all that

interested in moving on from him that is a quote from Adam chef chef there's just dropping bombs everywhere when I want on silly day said that he doesn't think the bears would get Max Crosby okay won't want that sucks but wouldn't it be wouldn't be very NFL to be like hey you know what the Sunday before conference championship we said Sunday before selection Sunday so this Sunday from noon till 10 PM all signings and trades have to happen and we just treat like an NFL

Sunday and we just sit we sit down and we just maybe make all the GM's being one room and they have to go up and announce it and we just sit and have an NFL Sunday if they do it like the draft where you go out on stage yeah and you announce it and every five minutes there has to be a trade I do it NFL will watch or sign every five minutes yeah and if there's not Roger Gidell like starts finding you yeah I like the idea of like people running to this like I'm signing

first yes we you it would be a spectacle and imagine just getting juice up for an NFL Sunday even they're not playing football and they have to have like at least 10% of the signing bonus in cash in a suitcase that they then award to that now we're talking Mr. Beast live maybe maybe Mr. Beast hosts it so it's like you know who's who's the biggest free agent signing

“that's going to be this year like who's who's I think I sure speech should should host it”

nobody knows I sure speak but let's just say let's just say Max Crosby is a free agent and they're like Max Crosby comes up and Mr. Beast standing there he's like you just signed a

$40 million deal and with one coin flip you can double it that'd be good anyway like they

we just play those games and if my guy actually doesn't try to double it then I know I'm not signing yeah you don't have you don't have that it factor you don't have belief in yourself I think I think Alec Pierce is about to get paid too I think don't get on Alec Pierce is going to be crazy patriot possible patriot I think he's just a little bit in them will be possible commander I think Alec Pierce is going to stay with the the word is that he and Daniel Jones

love each other hmm I think I think he likes money too and he hasn't gotten paid for sure so for sure if they're able to offer him he's going to get paid I hope he gets paid too yeah definitely for sure for sure okay any other football related thoughts anything I got a lot of football related we all do but like we all the time we're we're going to do our our Chuby rankings for free agents and the next Sam Donald but is there anything else oh Miles Gier got a speeding ticket

oh you think I like that that's good that's good again yeah good for him given back to the community get paying fines and Cleveland yeah he's probably he's probably built a school like everyone gives Lebron James all the flowers in the world because he built a school in Cleveland and Miles Garrett has sped enough times to pay for a school and nobody says shit about him yeah thank you Miles Garrett for everything you do in the community our guy Ohio State had a funny

he said the Miles Garrett is still trying to get Kirby smart attention from from Georgia not offering

“him yeah just kidding he I think it's his seventh speeding ticket hmm stop speeding Miles Garrett”

he probably has really fast cars probably really hard it's just be safe yeah just speed but do it safely yeah so we had the there's debate that is sparks like intensity back here okay I won't say what side anyone is on but I will ask you the question big guy you're the only one who has not been prior informed with this question okay who do you believe is more famous globally right now right now who is more famous globally I show speed Donald Trump Donald Trump

when we had the debate about John Summit versus ludicrous it's not it's not even there's one person in this room that believes that it's that I show speed is more famous than Donald Trump around the world how's that I'm just here for fair and impartial debate I'm not saying one guy thinks one thing one guy is another I do think that I show speed is globally more famous

“than Donald Trump how many people do you think in a ran know who I show speed is I think I think”

a lot of I think a ton of people in a ran know who Trump is for sure I think all of this a hot way yeah as a hot week for Trump in a ran yes I think 50 less people than yesterday yeah yeah a lot of people do that's a super sensitive thing that's a I mean that's a great talking point there I think a lot of people on a ran also knew who I show speed is so I think that if you look around the world everybody like in the demographic of like 12 to 16 or 12 to 18 so I know like you might be you might

be right but there's a lot more people that are not 12 to 18 I think it's like between age of five and like 37 is four makes up 48% of the globe but and I think I'm an over one majority of them definitely know who speed is they also know who Trump is think about America I think they single person in America you're by I think because you're American we're in America I understand that and I understand that but I that's a big country yeah that's a huge country but we're talking the globe also

like they teach Trump and all sorts of schools and talk about it like it's a good language as well yes they definitely talk Trump outside of the USA right but for every textbook open talking about Trump there's a cell phone in the bottom corner with Isha's speed video but they're not teaching them that's books not every kid has has a cell phone though also not every country has internet but the country is without internet no speed too but they also wait wait wait wait wait wait

how how do you know Isha's speed if you don't have the internet so Isha's speed travel sees countries he'll go live and you'll see crowds of hundreds of hundreds if not thousands of people behind of they know speed but I've got some videos those are countries that don't have the internet they don't have the internet but they know speed they might or they have dial up they have slow internet you

“might be win me over no I I think I think everybody in the United States knows Donald Trump I think”

every like half the country of China probably knows Donald Trump I think you're also saying that like Australia Brazil everybody in Brazil knows Donald Trump do you know that Donald Trump is on their their cell phones too like you do the cell phone textbook thing yeah definitely Trump's on their yeah he's on the phone yeah they're both they're both on phones they're both on Instagram uh Instagram's a terrible metric speed does have more falls on Instagram bad metric very metric terrible metric

but Charlie does but Trump also has so many people that hate him that right following them and so many

people that aren't on Instagram that know who he is like if Trump has 45 million followers he's probably

that's 45 million haters would we say what are the things that will follow him but they feel the profession is social media no but what are our thoughts on soccer as a sport how big is that it's a big sport pretty big we say Christian Ronaldo's maybe like one of the biggest names in the world yeah what he can beat with Trump no because Trump won the first ever FIFA piece price yeah outside which is the most prestigious word in soccer also taking that trophy to the crib

would we I mean Trump or speed straight out the Ronaldo pipeline well if you know the message Ronaldo debate you know speed he's step by by creating that no but he's he's a figurehead of the Ronaldo debate side in that argument he's a he's becoming we call me uh Ronaldo dick writer okay you know he's a kernel in that army but how does that be saying that if Ronaldo has whatever

200 million fans and speed as 200 million fans but it's more like Ronaldo's way more than 200

million fans but still whatever he's saying that that all goes to speed which I'm just saying

“if you know Ronaldo you're there's a 95% chance you know i think so i know there i think there's a”

lot of old people that know Ronaldo that have no idea what streaming is oh definitely i think we'll speed transcend streaming how he's an athlete like he'll show up your country of history he'll racially streaming that but he's not an athlete he's like a pretty good he's pretty athletic but he's also a very athletic guy as far as guys go people don't know him as an athlete that don't stream like the there's no one's like oh i show speed is he an athlete no that they're like

he's a streamer who does athletics i think he might be an athletic guy with a cam on too that you could look at it both ways but he's not like Ronaldo where it's like if you watch sports you know who Ronaldo is if you watch sports you don't know who i show speed i think if you watch soccer you know speed no a lot of soccer fans do but like if you watch soccer they're doing it they're there in trumpets if you're doing like a pre-show for like the world cup we can say that a big

sporting event yeah if they're doing pre-shows for a world cup they're inviting speed don't know what was literally invited he was at the FIFA he was hoping it was at the trump

Kennedy center was getting the first ever i think you're kind of forgetting this part that's yes

he is the first and only recipient of the FIFA peace prize for accomplishments in the field

like i said trump's a huge name transit he's a global name right what i'm hearing though is that

if trump decided to start streaming he could put up some numbers a_i_ says don't trump is significantly more well known than i do you think that's american a_i_ global yeah that's a rock no i'm using Microsoft copilot it says significantly significantly more well known yeah you guys familiar with that anime or manga i'm familiar with those words the uh so one piece is a manga series the biggest manga series of all time as far as excels goes he bridges the gap between soccer and manga

soccer and anime okay we're just talking about two massive audiences that all knows speed okay um trump kind of bridges the two massive audiences of uh the nation of the united states and the nation of china and all's the nation of india and all sorts of india knows them too every nation comes huge think you think you think who knows trump more uh who if you go Mexico okay

“do more Mexicans know trump or i should speak i think i think uh a lot of people”

Mexico know both of them for sure they made no thanks so i think yeah oh did you more here why i think i think someone who knows trump just passed away and some oh and a kid just click the speed video oh okay i think yeah i think the graphics changing i think i have a changing god

second god it oh wait oh i got an update a kid just uh passed away because he was looking at his

phone he got hit by a car wall watching and i show speeds video who rest in peace really sad maybe we should have speeds he recovers a funeral what he i have no idea who do you think Canada uh in Canada who knows trump or speed i'm trying to find them this is not a touch screen i know that's my bad what are we looking for? Canada but this is crazy it is crazy is that you think you have a bias do you or a streamer oh no i think trump is huge i think trump's

“massive what are you saying well he's probably is the same way as little mark is trump bringing”

out this kind of crowd can you oh my goodness speeds in Kenya speed transcending the demo of people in this crowd right now age between 12 and 55 is actually 12 and 75 but this is a country that has like can you has the internet they've got their uh developed content for sure access to the internet everywhere yes i just want to show some crowd works and people some boots on the ground okay uh this is just speed going around us house you're making sound like we're speed haters which i

i don't want to put myself in that camp i don't want to sound like i'm just i'm trash in the gap no i don't think you're hate or whatsoever we're talking numbies yeah i just strictly from a dad what are you what what are his videos get how many how many watches like you mean average watch we quick pull yeah is he what's his main thing is he on youtube what is he on he's got thirty seven thousand we're watching him right now you have

thirty thousand people watching you do fucking fast food eating yeah we were eating we were eating the dug dug that's that's fair but this is just him kicking in his bedroom with his brother you guys just did assemble the Avengers okay but it was good group it was not the Avengers it was fun to add the fellow the Avengers i enjoyed watching you too i was really in view that's so much fun youtube's not as number one platform it's twitch right i was saying he streams you just probably

biggest platform oh so then this is a blowout yeah thirty come on what was it well the final

views on is one of his streams and his last stream three million that's a credible number

and sixty six incredible numbers come on Zach you're saying incredible numbers but come on

“i think globally like it's a little bit skewed here in the United States but below i don't”

think that you understand that people know who Donald Trump is no i got outside of america Trump is you you just are you you know what you are you're wild by the fact that there's like a crowd in Kenya for speed or a crowd in China for speed those are massive countries yeah that's true we're talking to the ambia indonesia every country in south america yeah globe oh just how globally yeah but like if trump rolled up to yeah like tomorrow and he was wearing the outfit he was after the

moody and he's like all race anyone yeah but crowd to massive but that's the thing it's not even fit it's just people it's yeah so many haters as well but those people also know him they know who we are they won't show up to he they won't show up in like the crowd in the crowd but it's like oh yeah i know Donald Trump yes everyone knows Donald Trump Trump's huge speed might just edge amount just like Trump's so big Trump has Trump's so shoes watches but it's just a tiny like

you're not talking blow out no it's it's oh speed beats about fractionally well let me ask you this that has has speed ever had any success like selling a Bible spoken word on those speed

how many buildings is speeds name on it uh again not sure if he's on any architecture at all

this i don't know if he shows shoes or watches either trump does both those things i stay

“stakes too i was he is good at playing to the core i think i think speeds core might be bigger”

oh here's oh here's an article that hurts your case it's right there's a lot of those people 1325 internet icon speed meets chinese celebrity trump impersonator all the people who are watching speed that day are like that's true yeah wait wait do you think that Donald Trump whatever like hang out with a speed in person i don't know they did invite speed to the White House maybe add a roll yeah no i i don't think that that's i think big yeah yeah use in your argument that

they that's trump's house yeah yeah i think he went like a starting value we're like here like yeah they invited trump or they invited speed to trump's house yeah that makes speed more famous and trump yeah he's just checking out his house i was like i think i might have been the second or third invite though i don't think he won on the first one i like i like that you're taking the tape i need more zactakes this is your good takes to just throw out

there whether be right or wrong this one is very wrong the takes it's part of my take if i were

“to guess i would i would say that i think three billion people know who Donald Trump is yeah”

maybe maybe four maybe four maybe more i think speed might four point one do let's be four point one

“last show last not a lot to talk about until like july i'll tell you i'll tell you why i think legal”

tampering starts on monday yeah so right now we're we're in the thick of illegal tampering season which is the new legal tampering max crossbie hopefully got to be traded at some point everyone's getting tampered with i did you read that article in the athletic that michael silver wrote

i did so there's a mid-tressing stuff in that article what's interesting basically it said uh like

max crossbie his only crime well two things one his only crime is that he he tries too hard he practices too hard and he's sick of practicing on teams that won't allow him to practice super hard um he hits quarterbacks in practice yeah which is against the rules but um i think if he was playing on team with a good quarterback he'd probably be less likely to hit them correct that'd be a guess and then the other really interesting part um tom Brady he's uh the

answer on fox he's done a great job in proving his game on fox in terms of uh color analyst recently

“uh he's also a part owner of the last vagus raiders and i think he owns what 4% of the team”

something like that the mark gave us it has pretty much given him like act like you own the entire team yeah i'm sure he is the uh the shadow president of football um it's a soft benching on mark gave us his part he soft so self yeah yeah and um so since tom Brady's got that full time job working with fox did he go have you read the article do you know where we're going with us i'm rating okay so tom Brady former quarterback the new in the patriots uh he's working

with fox like full time so he can't be a practice all the time he can't be at the facility wait if he can't be at the facility if you have tea who is at the facility form hey do you want to guess like a surrogate form i don't know if someone probably like a trainer or

something yeah yeah yeah pretty much yeah pretty much a doctor basically doctor basically a doctor

Alex Guerrero is his eyes and ears uh the story that Michael Silver wrote it outscrew just pop it up what's wrong with i don't i don't what what's the like well he's nobody really trust Alex Guerrero and no one really knows what he does and he essentially he goes to the practice in narks to tom Brady and also tells people uh they're getting cut or the job is at stake but he doesn't he's not an owner he's not a coach he just is he sounds messy he sounds like a messy bit

he is a messy bitch like he's he gets he gets the news from tom and he's like oh I got some gossip I got he he like sits down in mark gave you he's like mark you want the tea what what what what what part of this is not weird to you what do you mean what do you mean is is outscrew making decisions or is he just watching practice he's kind of everything he's and everything and nothing all at once he's announcing decisions like if you're an owner of a

team and you can't be there once you want someone that you trust to be there like that's not that's reasonable yeah you're other the other owners is that not reasonable yeah the coach or the GM yeah all these guys are like worked in football their entire lives Guerrero's been around football for a while yes listen Guerrero's been kicked out of more facilities than you and I have ever been admitted that's true he's uh yet he does how messy though by that was part of the the frustration his outscrew

was just walking around being like oh like basically yeah her time doesn't like you taking note

if the readers were good that's that's just my silver ones clicks oh you're okay if the

“raiders were good that would not be an issue I think then if like the issue is that the raiders”

fucking suck what if there's not so much cross do you want to be out the region max cross do you know that's not because that's actually not true max cross do you want to be out because he was benched last year as raiders were trying to tank and he is such a competitor that he thought that was like the ultimate sin against competition and everything that he stands for let me ask you a question make if there were someone here who um now Austin is here now but like

let's say Dave hired someone who has no idea how the blog game works and he has no idea how podcasting works is no idea how the content game works we've hired people like all the one yes we say everywhere yeah you don't have a lot of hired like iron people like that but over time but let's let's say that that's that's Dave's highs and years and you don't really have a relationship with

a free lunch Tuesday I know it was you I didn't get any sandwiches every time you do that this shamed it yeah shamed took two yeah before anyone else I was the one that was like trying to get the tape release but time I got there there was like one shitty sandwich left I I almost got some tapes released on Hank yesterday oh but I but I'm admitting that I could see the air of my ways potentially so I didn't I want to hear that but just for this this and then I want to hear the

tapes but let's just say you're on the golf simulator and this guy walks up and has a note pad and he goes huh okay and then walks away takes a note and then Dave you know every like maybe a week later it's like oh Hank all he does is golf you would like that guy be around the facility

that's basically what you do okay I said allergies and hitting I need some help no basically

“Tom Tom has his eyes and ears and acting as a surrogate and I think people are if you”

read between the lines of what Michael silver wrote it seems like there's a lot that he did not write there's a lot more that he can write about things about the stuff he didn't write yeah I want to talk about that I mean Michael says that Michael silver is of that he knows that Tom Brady gets clicks he's this is a Florial special Florial did write aggregate Michael silver's right and and I'm sure it was Tom Brady I'm sure Tom Brady was somehow like the lead focus of

the article by the means where you shake your head yeah the athletic just prays on on these bad things either way I I it is weird that they write so many articles that paint bad teams are bad yeah as you had the I do like that Max Krosby is like I'm not going to publicly ask for a trade

out of respect to the Raiders fans even though then this article gets written it's basically

saying I want out yeah I'm going to I'm going to publish all the blackmail that I have on the Raiders it's great it'll be a slow drip that comes out over the spring what what was the tape she almost released on hand no no so it Hank was somewhat vindicated but what happened yesterday we had we had a nice lunch that was catered for the office it was delicious and I went I got in line and I'm waiting my turn in line and there's a group of people that are in front of me picking their

sandwiches out and I'm waiting to have my turn to select my sandwich the people leave I'm looking down on my phone so I'm I'm walking at a very slow pace but then Hank who was standing right behind me just passes me on my left you cut him cuts in line right in front of me gets the sandwich the very last of the good sandwiches and then he keeps walking and then I just look around like did that did that just happen right now so then I went I got the tapes I reviewed the tapes

in Hank's defense I was looking at my phone and moving slowly in the line which is why I did not release the tapes it might have been a situation where just a simple like hey under laughs you can move hey they're done getting their sandwich like one of those like a little nudge what a help

“like a little tap on the horn when you're buying you want me to hold your hand no no that's why”

didn't release a spoon feed you yeah it does sound I like to see the tape but it does sound like you had bad line etiquette I did which like I think that there's room in the middle it's like if somebody is at a red light the light turns green for about a full second and instead of just like giving him a boop you just like speed around him flip him off but that's cool in their face yeah and then he did also be on you then he did sandwich so it was it was the link goes green and

you don't move like what are you doing yeah it was at least 51% you should have peaked it was 51% my fault I'll take the line share the response bill wow that's huge yeah 51% Hank you can have 4% like Alex Guerrero let me find but yeah there was also no sandwiches left so I was I was it was like if there was a bunch of sandwiches I might have been like hey but it was like oh shit oh so did factor in your mind that you wanted the last good sandwich no it didn't I well I

“I was like that's what you did literally what you said I was saying like if there was there was like”

literally two sandwiches left in the entire board because Shane ate them all what did you pull up here Zach or Matt I was I didn't mean to pull that up oh you're just looking at Alex Guerrero I yeah I was just a certain search I was just weird guy now for the record I would retract everything yeah no where's guy he is a weird guy and I think have the weird guy do think it's like again it's like Tom Breeze grace quarterback of all time

level my life greatest person I've ever known or never wished to know

what he's also kind of a weird guy right but but he Alex Guerrero did take him to the next level okay what Alex Guerrero did for Tom Breeze career it makes sense that Tom Breeze trust them so much and if you're Tom Brady and you're not able to be a practice you want someone that you can trust it be there so it's like yeah he's a weird guy but Tom Breeze a weird guy and it's like it makes sense that he Tom Brady has earned his weirdness though when Tom Brady you see him being

weird you're like but he's a winner Alex Guerrero you see him being weird and you're like who is this guy

but again and put yourself in Brady's position yeah who else would you want there who else would you have there Alex Guerrero yeah no I'm sorry I'm not sure I mean this it's a Jordan situation it's a little bit what are you talking a little bit of a Jordan that's taking a one to lick right now it would be Jordan is to bella check as Alex Guerrero is to I said that those exact words behind this boot you get to start this conversation no sense zero sense it's not without the with out the crazy

good sex do you think Alex Guerrero is in charge of doing Adobe Photoshop's for Tom Brady no

“he's a trainer I think he's just the jack of all trades I think it's just like high ability”

Max has never heard of that oh no he actually max is Max is flexible super flexible

max is one of the he's by far the most flexible in the podcast you know who's very pliable somebody that does adult competitive cheerleading good point they are Alex Guerrero is a cheerleader it's insane actually he's a great cheerleader like you're doing great Tom good job keep on not eating those tomatoes I bet you he knows some shit about peptides probably does and listen I will say that if if he comes on the Jordan cast not I would listen to whatever like fake

medical advice he gave me I love fake doctors yeah but he's a fake doctor that's the important part he's a real doctor he's a trainer yeah okay we're going to do our list we have a list

we're going to make a list of top quarterback free agents I think we should make two lists one is top

quarterback free agents one is top quarterbacks that might be on the move okay that's like the Kyler the genome that that group so let's start with top quarterback free agents this is going to be the part my take official Bible because we know that there are certainly some

“scouts and maybe possibly GMs that listen to this show so if you want to just take this scouts and GMs”

you guys that you can sell yourself on we will be fully on board all right here's the list I'm going to give you the list I it's obviously longer than this but this is the list that I've come up with and then we can sort it through Aaron Rogers Russell Wilson Marcus Marriota

Zach Wilson Tyrod Taylor Joe Flacco Kenny Pickett Jimmy G Mitch and Phil Rivers

where do we want to start who's the one one on Russell Wilson not there Russell Wilson is on there is it also Malik Willis Malik Willis is yes so he's number one Malik Willis my number one Daniel Jones technically Mary Ota but Daniel Jones transition tag yeah team can offer him a bag all right Malik Willis one I like that a lot I think that's that makes sense I think you got to go Phil Rivers too right who would you rather have Zach Wilson or Phil I'll though I'm still I'm not

done with Zach Wilson you're still bleeding I'm still believing in Zach Wilson I mean he got in Quintier Rod wedge in my last year all right so you I mean who would you want for this next year

“is Aaron Rogers if you want to win or if you want to win or if you want to win or if there's one obvious pick”

trade lands nope who Jimmy G Jimmy G he wins football games he's been to more Super Bowls than like anyone in the history of the league it is kind of weird how Jimmy Grappler just kind of that's not true kind of stock kind of stop being a starter and no more Super Bowls than anyone in the league he went from going to Super Bowls it's a lot of Super Bowls to Larry Super Bowls he went to I think like seven has he actually he's been to a lot I guess streets are saying he's a

cardinal yeah yeah because Michael for was his guy from from the ramp so that would make sense Jimmy Jimmy G Super Bowl appearances Jimmy G on the streets of Scottsdale would be a weapon he's played in one right he's played in one and he was in the 2015 and 2017 Max is looking it up back up how many times is he a backup on a Super Max just go to his go to his Wikipedia and you can just see how many rings he has and then we can and then we need appearances yeah I know but

then you just add in the to you have enough of his loss and in the 49er but he's lost he's lost the Super Bowl because he you know the Patriots no he's lost a lot of Super Bowls how many is he have he has three so he's probably been to five right the Eagles loss and then the losses the Niners quarterback oh wait yeah and he was with the ramps he wasn't with the ramps when they went to the Super Bowl was he no I don't spit the ramps in 2024 yeah so he's not with it so five so close to the

most ever decent amount of Super Bowls more Super Bowls than a lot of people pretty good like that's a fact in terms of people who have ever lived yeah he's up there right so we want to put him three I think goes Belique Willis Aaron Rogers Jimmy G I think I would maybe I would maybe go

he's been to more Super Bowl than anyone in the history of the game what about Mary I like Mary Oda

“listen Mary Oda is a great backup quarterback yeah I think Mary Oda over Tyrod yeah I think”

Marcus Mary Oda. Oh wait did you see that Falcons game all right he might be the number one backup

quarterback all right here's what I have right now you could tell me if we want to switch anything I have

Malik Lewis one Aaron Rogers two Jimmy G three Mary Ota for Tyrod five I think this is where you got to put in Joe Flacco and Phil Rivers okay Flacco Phil Rivers then then the question is Mitch but there should also be a caveat on this that if if we're talking about a one game replacement midseason at the last second Joe Flacco number one on the rivers rivers would be good to be in win yeah it's true all right but you need you need Flacco on four days notice and he will go out there

he will give you a win okay here here's here's where I have for the whole list if we're filling it out

“you guys tell me if you want to switch anything we have Malik Lewis one tell me tell me just say”

something if if you don't like where they're at Malik Lewis one Aaron Rogers two Jimmy G three Mary Ota for Tyrod five Joe Flacco six Phil Rivers seven Mitch eight Kenny nine Zach Wilson ten Russell Wilson 11 wins 12 got to put one I would put him 12 I'd personally have him 12 of my list okay I haven't 10 we should put once 12 Brett Farve 13 got to wait so we're not including Kyler has not been released yet he will he will be released yeah he shall be released all right so

to the second list I feel like that was a good list right there the second list the names that we could

have so this is names that are possibly being traded released whatever it may be there but they're currently on a team Kyler Murray to a Derrick car Mac Jones Anthony Richardson Tanner McKee Spencer Ratler Genosmith let's talk it out Kyler Tyler Tyler one Matt Jones Max Jones is under

“the yeah but he could be traded that's what I'm saying like there's rumors I like I think”

Mac Jones is not Jones is the next I'm Donald I think there's going to be four four different teams that talked themselves hard into Kyler Murray we actually and the the matter of fact is Kyler Murray if he goes to the Rams and chooses to be a backup with Sean McPhay and stick around their Kyler Murray's going to go into the whole family so that's just how this is going to work out Sean McPhay is going to be like I got my guy for the next 10 years well when one more Super Bowl

Matt Stafford then it's Kyler he'll be back to being elite again but if he goes anywhere else I think it's nice so this list actually should technically just be the next Sam Donald that should be the name of this list okay next Sam Donald next Sam Donald because I got another one for you Kyler Murray on there what Anthony Richardson no he's on the one yeah yeah so Kyler's won you want to do you want to do Max Jones or Anthony Richardson too you like Matt Jones the next Sam Donald I like Matt Jones won okay

and then Booth you want to break the tie Matt Jones or Anthony Richardson or sorry Max Jones or Kyler Murray no Kyler alright just too small I would rather have Kyler Matt Jones is too Anthony Richardson three yeah that arm Anthony Richardson three that arm don't quit Daniel Jones he could be on that list too where is he gonna go who Anthony Richardson I don't know but he could be the next Sam Donald he could he could be better than Sam Donald I think Gino for

is G it can is it possible for Gino to be the next Sam Donald if it was before Sam Donald yeah I mean he's got they share a couple teams too because it's like on Sam Donald might have been the next Gino yeah but he took it to the next level no but then he and then he became Super Bowl it becomes

it takes out the Gino then he becomes the first Sam Donald right and then now we we're looking for the next guy

alright so Gino for Derek R memes Saturday Saturday Jets signing Derek R or Tua Paul that's a good debate I think Tua helps Derek R is better but it would be such a bummer just in general but the Jets haven't had an interception in a while so Tua helps that and practice oh true good point okay good point scout team scout team picks Derek R kills you ride receivers so I think Joseph feels to be in this list too Tua yeah I think

Tua will be the Saturn okay all right so I'm gonna throw Justin Fields in there again another one yeah

eligible just because he was good at one point like really good he was very good yeah I mean at one point

okay have a Kyle Trask Kyle Trask to be the next Sam Donald next Sam Donald he's got to make a team memes at this I keep telling them to say it saying and they're like we'll love us oh good one let's go we'll love us five okay and then Tua all right I'm gonna read this off to you guys you tell me I'm taking out the 10 I'm taking out Tanner McKee and I'm taking out Derek R just because they don't really apply to the next Sam Donald Tanner McKee that's a high draft pick Derek R was good

here's the next Sam Donald list we got one columnary two Mac Jones three Anthony Richardson four Gino Smith five will love us six Justin Fields seven two I feel good about that list I think we're gonna get Sam Donald out of that list there's going to be one I feel like she does not in that list either yeah Gino I don't think he counts in that list okay I'll take them out I would I would remove him for that list okay I mean Tua has had good years does Malik will

us count on that list yeah Tua is also not Malik was because he's always also free agent so we're

gonna yeah but he was good this we do a bad job of our list it's really just once once you make the graphical look good yeah for sure all right one one more name for the next Sam Josh Johnson what if this is the year for Josh who what about you might put it all together how about this seven from this list should Arkansas seven on this list should be Sam Donald for those that still don't believe in Sam Donald he can do it right like he could still be the next Sam Donald

like yeah this is this is the year where Sam Donald can get himself off the list of guys like Trent Dilfer and get himself onto the list of guys like Aaron Rodgers or Ben Rothlissberger yeah okay well that's fun fun list making yeah what else we got Max we were talking briefly before the

show are you getting nervous about the bubble the bubble uh if they'll know the loss last

“night I would have been nervous about the bubble but now I think we're I think we're firmly good”

and firmly firmly good um firm good firm firm there's something hit me last night in the badger game one obviously no one went through getting uh hurt was not good and that seems to happen Johnny Davis or Chuck Eeper and late in the season two we really the NIL and transfer portal which is a lot of handering losing the seat like the true senior day moment socks because Isaac guard Greg guard son hit a three and it was electric yeah electric moment

yeah you don't have as many of those moments of guys that have been there for a really long time and stayed at one school because everyone's transfer you've got the yeah the mom's walking out on the court with just the the biggest button that you've ever seen on their sweatshirt the roses it is that is a nice moment it was nice it was nice so I I think we need we've lost

“that a little bit and we need it I saw some tweet yesterday I can't find it but I think there's like”

then there's but there's like 24 seniors that participated in senior year yeah they're only 22 high major scholarship players who celebrate senior night this week having played it just one place that's pretty crazy that's insane as you know how many two out of how many schools yeah a lot like 60 as you see as one once single singular season senior who stayed for the whole time that's not that's it I like my idea of if you stay at a school if you don't transfer you get

an additional year yeah eligibility or you get you know what you just get a PhD automatic that's all you don't have to go to class you just get a PhD yes doctor doctor marshal hinders that would be great yeah yeah doctor I secured you might be here this week yeah that's week yeah how do you tell you there's an interesting debate we can embrace debate if you'd like to I would one more college basketball then I want to embrace the debate the one last college

basketball credit to Bruce Pearl because he has been you know the thing that he said about my of Ohio on over the weekend everyone coming after him he did have a quote that I appreciate he said in my rooting for my son to make the incidentally tournament of course I am did I help my son get the Auburn job nepotism of course I did um credit to he just went out and admitted it well you I didn't know I was cut 50 50 like how did this guy how does he even pro get this job and why

is Bruce Pearl so so enamored with Auburn this year and then he was like hey guys that's actually

“my son and I got him the job that's why I'm rooting for that's um I think his hand was a little bit”

for like there's no chance that he could ever say anything besides that it was so obvious that he was like I listen they got me dead to write yeah I think I mean I might not know what I can't quite just say I got to take a plea deal they're sniffing around yeah they're starting to connect too many dots yep they got me but yeah that was um and yeah we started conference championship week we have

I used to go to games there so it's in Brooklyn um like island university it's it's a mile from my old apartment in Dumbo so he just take my son to the game she just walk in it's free and I'm so mad I miss fins up shout out fins up because it's for people who didn't see it

“long island university has a gym looks like they're in dolphins uh yes I believe so that makes no”

sense I know there's the shark sharks with the sharks I think there's the shark or there's dolphins the sharks they kind of look like the Nick and Ulti fake team from blue chips yeah the duck I thought that was I didn't know what that was in the sharks when I saw the gym I was like what is what is it's a gym that is smaller than most high school gyms you could just walk right in and then they are in at the time of your listening they might have been eliminated but I think

they're in the semi finals of the NEC and they have a new thing at the free throw line where their fan base yells fins up and then everyone goes like the safety symbol and it's like six people I was gonna say my fan base you mean it's like the size of the shark sharks probably the hardest place to play in the country they bring an intensity in that gym if you hey Hank I'd like to see you go I bet you couldn't go four for ten from the line in that gym easily you almost went to this school

well it used to be L.I.U. broke there used to be L.I.U. Brooklyn and L.I.U. post and then they merged into one school but I was talking to the L.I.U. Brooklyn baseball coach for a while it about potentially going it is a very funny color scheme and nickname because this school is in downtown Brooklyn essentially like downtown Brooklyn like it's not too far from where the nets play and having a turquoise shark like it seems like this should be a team that's playing in Southern California it does it does

but the thing I love the fins up guys fins up is intimidating as fuck fins up yep bang it is a lack of it is like you can hear the fins reverberating off the back wall

it's so good it's so good I'm mad that I've never got to fins up yes so it's a new thing

to this guy start I don't know it was I took I took my son who a couple games one of the games the the vibe of these games are so lacks and like I said it doesn't cost to get in there that one of the games where I said was probably like two and a half he was essentially like sitting in the coaches lap by the end of the game he had gone all the way up and what's like it was was on the court because it's just like whatever and they got it's great fins up shout the fins up

crew were big fans I love them I hope they get in the turn of it will be fins up in the whole time

“okay so it was your bracelet brace debate this was actually discussed this morning on I believe”

it was on first take but Steven A Smith and Jay Williams got into it so I I curious honestly

to hear your take on on this question it's regarding the NBA okay are the Boston Celtics Jalen Browns or Jason Tatum's team discuss discuss amongst yourselves I could give how it's I can give points for either side if you'd like some some cheat sheets but who's who's team do you think they are I think they're Joe Mazulos team that was not the option Celtics Browns or they Tatum's team I don't understand the question you need five players on the court at all times

yeah but who's I guess another way to think about this is like who's Batman and who's Robin but it's a that's two people out of five yeah well there's also bags like just to see get Alfred if we're talking just as league then it's like who's your favorite superhero you know right in pictures the flash right so when like the page how you could say it's Tom Brady's team right Tom Brady was a quarterback you could say his bill belt checks him okay

really depends which which way I just thought it was an interesting new twist on a debate

“that I I hadn't heard before what do you think pft I think it's ridiculous concept for a debate”

and I think it's beneath the integrity of the show to even discuss it but you're you're entertaining it which makes me think that on your own clarification is I think it's Derek White's team is there a date for Jason Tatum to come back like if now we're just on uh we're on injury report watch okay they said wasn't three four team did you guys see I think it's pain preacher for did you guys see SGA's outfit I I have to assume he was

doing this as a troll and I loved it he looked like uh yeah I've got one of those zip-up ones like the one firm it's a great coat it's a great coat but him doing the interview in that coat was even funnier where it's like you can't even see him talking I think you only are able to do that

if you win MVP if he was like second place yeah last year I don't think you can wear that that coat

all right so Carmella that he says Jason Tatum needs to be very mature when he returns

yeah you can't come in midstream and be like hey it's going to be exactly the same and also

“getting to come back from the killies going forward in my change but this season is jailing brown's”

I agree with that I mean in the in the episode of his last I come back episode it was like you

know I mean I come back to be a role player but that Robin's you know he can be the second second

option and they can still want to change I see I don't like that because everyone's a role player you got to be willing to even the the biggest start on the team has to be able to embrace becoming a role player true do we care last thing before we get to graduate do we care at all about the WBC I think I care once we're in the semi finals or finals I care about what time of the games gonna be we're playing Brazil on Friday at some point it's early at some point I don't care about

the world cup it's in three full woods yeah personal history it's an incredible history of English

failure yeah true yes like that's fully that's where it begins and ends American big dreams yes is there a chapter in here that's like England and it just says missed pk there is actually a history of English football that I use my research it's called 40 years of shit which is one of my favorite and yeah it's one of my favorite tomes I mean England are and I support American out for your audience I know a sound like I'm a citizen yeah thank god yeah I mean I love this nation like

Kenny Powers loves this nation our women kick ass and take names that are men you know that we love a dream team we're trying yeah we do try we've won one knockout game in our entire history going all the way back to George Washington said this work to do it's like a dream on to yeah is that true

so we beat Mexico yeah we've never beaten a team in the entire planet other than Mexico yeah

and we always beat him does this arrow we do we bless it and you can bomb us in like March when it's snowing it's we've beaten them in the knockout you know good knowledge man and that's it I mean that team we put a man on the moon we invented the crew no yeah all of this crown we can I said that's say those two things English failure and American big dreams that's kind of the world cup baby yeah the 2002 team I still maintain that like that that team was special and that

you're love yeah I mean there's number of times they had like fresh clear water in front of them 2010

the London Donovan moment yeah which I turned so many people onto football and every single world cup has made America more and more of football loving nation 1994 world cup was here right before it jack camp the course about the Rams course back here's a congressman he went on to the floor of congress any other nation would be like we got the world cup the biggest thing is going to

“ever happen to our nation jack camp ran to the floor congress and he said I think it's really”

important that we tell American children the football is where you rush with it and it's growing you catch it and use your hands and not where you kick it and he said this is real words he said one is American capitalism the other is European socialism you guys hated it was there was a study before the last world cup 94 where soccer was found to be America's 67 to most favorite sport and track supporting was 66 you like taking the piss and that's the other story

is that yeah where America is now a football loving nation which is hard to interact with like a younger audience it's got bigger world cup to world cup I just did a rod show which was like a great honour and he essentially asked me 10 questions all of which would the same like when are we going to

like football yeah and I was like a rod like the economist just found out that soccer is the third

biggest sport in America popular why he said where's baseball I said it's fourth now a rod no

“and it was like telling it a flatter the you know the world is round baby but that's that that's”

where we all and I you ahead of the curve man I mean yeah I love the world cup it's it's probably my favorite sporting event every four years and the fact that's that man I don't know there's just some I don't I don't really care much for like European football or European soccer I don't really care about the EP I don't care about the Champions League don't really care about the MLS but when it comes time for the international competitions for some reason it's just like it's the

pride that goes into it's the people from all around the world it's the stupid things that like little pop culture icons that pop up every four years that you you learn about and you care about very deeply for a four-week span and then you completely forget about them till fans in the stands so you like what you're in this people just fire yeah fire rockets have very yeah cavity yeah it's like you guys I don't know I'm into this yeah English guys with with tattoos everywhere

like just you don't think this guy yeah but they've been in the sun for five minutes and they look

like a lobster all the stuff I like the there's always like one hot chick that just gets yeah

uber famous yeah she's she's shown on camera for about like two seconds and then her life changes yeah and she becomes a millionaire yeah that's some like guy prime number the president of the guy yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I like saying it's coming home I like saying that and then not really believing it or knowing what it means um is it actually is it coming home that's the deepest

“question I think there's anyone is it ever coming home so it's coming home is a song of English”

longing like England invented football we think we should win it by right we win it once 1966 on home turf like every English school kid it's like you know 1985 1986 in Chicago it's like that was the year 1966 is like the year everyone dreams of it and English football there's nothing like it the whole nation I mean it's what's a joy of sports man is that you make yourself believe when all evidence points to the country unless you're in New York Jets fan and you're just like

you're just like in it and they dream and they make themselves believe and then they shit the bed yeah most self sabotage I watch in Charlie Brown run a football the whole nation is Charlie Brown with Lucy kicking apart from like the whole nation's been like Lucy do that thing again yeah thing where I effort where I fill in agony where I fill a national trauma and it's the most English thing that ever English so all right so I want to talk about the book but I want to keep

going down this line of like the big dreams of America the shit of England and Charlie Brown can we do a couple other countries like what's what's what's Brazil what it was Brazil historically broke obviously they've won world cups they played beautiful football they also flop a lot a lot yeah flipping so what is that like you know in terms of you know it maybe it's this tournament or just in general in history we could say we used to this show last night in Houston with JJ

what where he's like he went off on the flopping humans a team in the Premier League this child of Wisconsin who grew up playing hockey and gridiron like fell in love he came on our show like did a football thing it was fine he kind of knew his stuff kind of didn't and then he asked to come on like a couple of months later and I was like cool and my head I was like we kind of did yet you know we did it we did all we could he goes none it he goes up and down a YouTube wormhole

and there we go and he came back on and he knew I mean it's not that hard to know more than make you knew a lot more than me I said what happened man he said I've just fallen in love with

JJ what this child of Wisconsin living for like this for Burnley it's like the Alan town pencil

“venue of England football club we've kind of got everybody yeah no JJ also like he jumps all the way”

I mean look what he's done is a commentator like on games he's so good at it and he's like yeah it should be illegal to be able to beat up pretty well anybody in the United States of America and then I would think them yeah that's the University of Wisconsin education so what let's talk about this let's talk about this world cup who who are the teams do the Spain still do Tiki Taker or whatever the hell it's called oh Brazil oh yeah you know Brazil yeah yeah

but it's like you walk down Cooper Kibana Beach you know they're they're they're very

mentally they're really all in on that man name of beach after never like hundred thousand

people playing football keypf's and like you're looking at you like oh my god like any one of those people man woman is dogs that can do like keypf's there that can probably get into the U.S. team and you're like wow like this scale the passion the way it's just woven in it's like

“high school basketball in Indiana and it's just where it's impossible to tell the solar the”

place about football is a freedom of expression and so you kind of there and you're like wow we've got ways to go I mean Spain is I don't know what the American equivalent is they have such a tactical discipline they develop like little e-walks they bred that e-walk playing football is who are just so comfortable it's like they wear the the ball inside their boot it's like the way what they can do of it it's just a totally transcendent I don't know what the they're

playing on the you know for the level yeah yeah would do they still do the tick because the tick attack is kind of maybe a little bit like west coast offense where it's like hey it's short passes a level control like you know the and then we'll just kind of you will just keep doing it and you can't stop it and then eventually we'll break open the big one and it's just woven into the fabric of their society the thing they do that we don't is that they don't give a crap

whether their kids win or lose like in America you guys you guys love to win yeah more winners you win I don't know if you saw the gold medal game more winners I know but if we lose we just pretend it didn't happen you can't win it yeah yeah yeah but under seven soccer under eight soccer no one really cares yeah so to win at under eight under nine under ten soccer in America

you just put the big kid in yeah and he just moves everybody down there's always someone who's

like William refrigerator Perry just mowing down under the six seven year olds and that's how you win it under seven under eight under nine in Spain I like sought the score leave the little kids in let them enjoy let them destroy or come as whether they're little you know origami passes and they don't ever give a crap about the results until they play for the big boys yeah when they do they destroy all of us in America sometimes you're impulse to win or impulse to win

is that to the hold in the spec yeah it is I've I've always thought that with with America and

“this is true I think with soccer as a whole if you want to win a world cup first you have to actually”

believe that you can win a world cup because if you don't have that that true belief that you can do it there's so many like the entire game is just it's a constant fluid game you're not going to be playing as passionately as hard as somebody that truly believes that they can win a world cup and we need a crazy mother fucker we need one guy on our team who's absolutely fucking insane that really believes that we can win a world cup and then that gets contagious for the rest of the

team so I don't know how much you know about what the projected US men's team roster is going to be but do you know if we have a crazy mother fucker like the old like brim busworth kind of mentality yeah tying these ripping his shirt sleeves off like that around the head wait but are you nailed it man the world knows that we know that they know that we know that they know the we're crap at men's level and it's the last thing America's crap out and the whole world the

soccer thing like in England by the way they call it soccer the the biggest show on English television is soccer Saturday no one laughs at it but when we do so and they see soccer like the whole world laughs at us for calling it soccer mostly because we're so insecure about it we kind of back off when they laugh at us so the world loves the we are still inferior there and when you speak to players from like 2006 2010 when they played that big team for the first time and you asked

them did you really think when you took the Philippines Belgium in 2014 that you guys looking each other been like we're going to win this game and they'll tell you off the record the really and that's really what it takes but the funny the odd odd thing is that 1994 team that took the field you were a baby you're like eight nine they took the field in like stone wash

denim jerseys they had mullets football were the never seen mullets at that point it was like

what is that ginger hair you know swaggering on they were these kids were like college players they were not very few of them had played in Europe and they didn't know what they didn't know

that 1990 was the first time the US men got back into the world cup since 1950 we've been like

off the off the you know just like reduced to a rubble we got back in 1990 they were like tourists were really good tickets they got their ass kicked by everybody 94 they did the thing like they didn't crap their pants with the nation watching they got renewable valiant defeat and then what um they all said here what we believed is 90 we showed the world we could qualify 94 we showed the world we belonged and the most American thing ever so like 98 we were going to

show the world we could win it yes and they were so waiting and they gave place they'd last place they got beat by around with the nation watching and they you know barely schooled to go so that American mentality yeah I mean we're far away I think we have in that human being

“we also like the max crossbie kind of like yeah we need to you need to team yeah you need to see”

we need to need more grit like that that was the thing when watching the gold couple as a two

years ago we were soft so if we suck at soccer that's fine we can't be soft and suck and that was what I hated watching we got to get you in the locker room we just got to be we got to be a little tougher we got to be rough them up we got to get there's a you know future for you get dirty with him can we can we can we not be soft because in my right with the gold cup the gold cup was the one that we were just looking at your right there yeah the best

U.S. teams I can think of looking back we had a couple players like I'll go back to 2002 that's when I think that the U.S. actually had a chance we should have beaten Germany we should have been in the semi-files of the world cup we got fucked by a handball we got screwed in that game I'll go to my death thinking that we should have beaten Germany but that team had like two guys

“that were just fucking mods a Gucci on Yahu who was like 220 pounds six foot three and we like just”

push people over no one and then a guy named Big Cat Tony Santa the Big Cat he was like a role player on defense but he was also a guy that like didn't take any shit we need those guys on this team you know that that would be at the love of your knowledge is breathtaking just it's only about the U.S.man's life it's working with it working with this one's he own it's like yeah working with this man I don't know if I see one anymore this one's you know like

I did you think I saw you like I saw you I don't know I gotta look it up you'll let it

head at the curb yeah you're like way it was like you were in that moment the first massive

global superstar to buy into well Welsh football and I would get I would get blamed for things and that was a message board and now 2026 yeah Snoop Dogg is going to your team yeah which is he's he's investing in Swansea he heard you own the little bit okay you want it to dip his every goal do you don't see this this is so madman this is why we don't I can't say yeah listen I got three kids now I I got into Swansea I don't have kids they've given the gift you

broke you broke the seal now everyone's all these all these all these you know these followers like Snoop following in your pathway I'm just trying to grow the game Snoop and then you care my you do if it's here it's here in terms of Snoop went to Swansea Swansea is like I can't even think of what Swansea's American equivalent I'm like scratching my head oh maybe you will be able to note because you know the yeah well you know the town the people the fan base

he went down they gave out Snoop towels before the game they've not sold like hardly anyone goes again Snoop was there the whole city was there it was mob this is 2026 how surreal football is you did a lap of honour before the game the place went utterly berser and so we may not be very good at football right now and please god that would change in my life time like I don't I just want the chicago is to win more Super Bowl well in my life I'd love the U.S. men to win a

World Cup in Russia you actually did we can in our lifetime the bears or no I hope the bear said the U.S. men's team like this country can do whatever I agree with that but it feels like the one thing we can't do is soccer what we need you in the locker room you know we've already sold that problem and we send you in there you give the team to a knees dirty what was it you said it you said it when you go to Brazil every the dogs are playing soccer but they're so good

“the dogs are so good honestly I would watch Brazil that's only that's a league we could build”

Brazilian dog soccer still in dog soccer I'd be like a better one I'm absolutely watch that yeah if I can get more than I'm in the dogs would not do it unless you could gamble and they're like we don't really need this enough but the gambling's very interesting pulling it back we may not win but we own everything like this is the crazy thing is that again 1991 no one cared you all hated it you protested too much and moved here and moved to Chicago you had everything man that wanted

against the radio to follow along the team now every Premier League team the majority of Premier they're owned by Americans you've got Boston Red Sox they're in Liverpool Chelsea everyone by the Dodgers you've got the Buccaneers family yeah do in there it's you know slightly curious munchies you know is crocky arsenal right so we're going to win the league and

held their third seven points up right now and they've got show McVay just like giving

a little late change everything do you want me to do a side as a little side off World Cup how's Everton doing I mean Everton or Everton or like the bears I don't know where my bears end and where Everton begins yeah with dreamers they're not going to get relegated though there's a in my book I wrote there's a poet Edward O'Galley on and I'm sure a lot of people come on your show and quit Edward O'Galley. Yeah yeah no we know him well he's a gorgeous man

“you should have him on pop me's there yeah and he's had Edward O'Galley. He went football is a pleasure”

that hurts is like his thing and that is at Everton or a pleasure that hurts I like that and that's where I mean the bears have been the same way yeah and the bears have been very much the same way so Everton are kind of in that in that Lucas in that look again I wouldn't know what to do if they did start winning right I get confusing would you want your team like when your team lose and that's what they that's your identity it's hard don't take away my losing yeah it's hard

it's hard it's hard I had I struggled I had one good year with the commanders and then I I just kind of lost my mind and I was like if you don't say the Jane Dales is top five quarterback I will kill you and I like you get you feel yourself a bit too much you enjoy the winning

grasp on to that that that brief moment where you think that you're never going to lose again

and then right back I find that I find like supporting teams that are self-defeating

“and heart-breakingly shit I do I think if that is the worst part of your life you're doing pretty well”

that's your good point if your sports team are absolute bullets and everything else is okay it's a good perspective but I don't I would not want to take away my losing is the honest yeah that's the English people wouldn't know what to do if then if they won in right United States 250th anniversary and they became I don't even think about that you probably take a lot of joy in watching your rivals lose like if you root for a team that's not successful

Shaton's the best you can do is just like I'm I'm so glad that the New England Patriots lost the Super Bowl yeah with the English people which I'm not anymore obviously American I by the way we need to have you just be like maybe you're just be our president because the way you talk about like American Swagger and that we own everything it doesn't feel as like in your face when it has the English accent it works you know what I mean like

we own everything we can do it is because you've got the words of Swagger but the English coating of self-loving but we say it were assholes you think about Shaton for either like if you do there's a saying if you gave an English person the choice between his own success and your failure he choose your failure every day of the week yeah that's genuinely like how England like lives it's why most football fans would I mean bite your arm off to be able to

“lot of that you know at their enemies failure far more I think than you do winning that joy is”

kind of fleeting yeah well then you got to do it again yeah it's stressful I'm not getting those expectations he wants him precious to lose you've been more yeah I mean they can only be one way done but endless joy out of your enemies paying yeah quick break from Roger Bennett talked about twisted T twist it T's refreshing heart ice T made with real brood T and 5% alcohol twist it T's the perfect drink to keep the good times going all

season it's gonna be 70 degrees on Monday and Chicago spring is here and we've changed the clock so get it grab a refreshing twisted T today and now back to Roger Bennett I got a question about

the book so what's your first World Cup memory and what was the one that's like crystallized like

hey this is 1978 okay Tina and what what was it about yeah we we didn't have live television in England's a tiny island this is kind of mental like the people around the football teams wouldn't allow any life football because we were about as big as like Indiana and so if they were terrified if they put live games on no one would go to any you know 92 teams

it was played by kind of dumpy man building mostly who try and kick the crap out of each other

“on muddy pitches they'd run in scurry into the locker room half time for a cigarette and a pint”

and a pie and then the whole crowd would beat the shit out of each other and it was pretty you know it was fun but it was also deeply miserable when you actually thought about it and Argentina had the World Cup and they had these incredible stadium and like the the first thing I saw is seven it was like the sun it took me a while to realize what the hell it was I was like what is that orange thing in the air my mum said it's the sun I was like oh because we're like a nation

a moment I'm looking at this thing everyone's beautiful they're all in like shit and then hundred thousand people the two teams take the field and the whole stadium just explodes in confetti and like toilet thousands of toilet rolls are throwing from their bleachers my mum said they should go take a toilet roll to a football game certain I was like oh show mum this is amazing

and I realized in that second football could be joyous and sports could be I'd never

you know sports was punishing sports is about having someone you didn't know from behind urinate down the back of your legs to a rolled up program and I was like I was hooked for that moment but in all seriousness the joy of the World Cup and this is I think kind of what you were saying is when two teams take the field like their nation's history their nation's politics their nation's culture takes the field alongside them and it's just a depth of all of it you know

when you play Germany like the levels of storytelling there like you know when you play well when people play America this will curve it's going to be I mean it's going to be super

“multi-dimensional in the that's why Panama tried to kick the craft out of us they didn't the canal”

crap Canada yeah that's why we need you talking shit for us yeah maybe he's that month have you thought I'll feed it me I'm just just delivering I'm just his breath loving piece baby yeah I feel like you might be next in line for the future peace price oh yeah I don't know from worthy I don't know if you could pay enough for it you know getting the fee for podcasting price I mean the wifey fee for stuff for the peace price for a guy passing prize for peace yeah

they don't give a price for like music so like yeah kid rock you know they should just expand well it doesn't give you hope that maybe we could win a world cup if you know the the tournaments put on by such a nakedly corrupt organization like FIFA we could just briber way to it why haven't we done that well I gotta say this conversation for the past 30 minutes I think

we've solved a lot of football problems and ultimately we need your action you need to

follow through on all of these things the dog football leader the get your knees dirty team to get in there I mean the FIFA thing it's I mean it's like Roger Gidelbert global man right so you know they do the thing they think about different things and we do when we go to sports and it's like it's just difficult so another another team that's had a lot of success in the past not recently is Italy is Italy ever going to play another world cup again

did you find they don't need to pick up some of your memories the memory they could live off those for forever the Italian thing is very strange man what happened countries detect on

“it plates the economy bombs out the you know I think some time after Rome felt things went down”

the toilet for football is about money and the teams that do really well have tons of it and you're seeing like you're you can tell a team that's not going to do well when you go to their nation and then nicely you know they need tourists dollars you know I mean and so that's really it the Italian the I mean it's in a tough place as the economy's from crumble more opportunity for you and the American team so they missed the world cup again they're very there's a very

very large the playoff there's a playoff oh yeah we still don't have all the teams we don't have them all they can play their way in still okay it's like the playing game for March madness so

they're in there but I do think the nation's brace but they won they won stuff yeah and ultimately

surrounded by that winning is this more failure and rebuilding here would you take like I mean you don't have drugs you don't have it man you don't have like relegation yeah that's the craziest thing real getting countries yeah yeah you go they're not a country anymore you're mad it is mad though America you love like cut through capitalism in sports you don't have any punishments for in fact you get rewarded yeah it's like your sports are like socialism for rich going yeah it's

very yeah yeah absolutely so you know hey you can put out the worst product ever and you'll still get a big check at the end yeah you do know and it's for parents are gonna make money what you can do yeah is it right you're right surface figure it out he's a genius

really not framing like that the man there's a business genius for that's the dog in this man is like in football if you crap the bed you get punished for it and that is a debate there's a team taught them hot spot who are historically a warehouse they have like just completely an utterly destroyed a team culture the fans hate the players the players hate the fans the players hate the but everyone and that they're in deep deep deep danger of being relegated they were up one

nothing on crystal power so I just walked by the gambling I love you if you'd walk back and it's lazy you'd see they were three one down and the fans were looking out we're off time but they're still in the the champions the they can still win something and their fans are debating whether they would love to win something and actually get relegated oh you weren't lying they're down three one oh they still down there they go flat the darkness they are the chicago guys of London

I mean so that's it we can't have that in American sports whether you would accept like a dark punishment and one yeah we would drive down the prices of the team so much that nobody would know owners no one really pay like that's

“$1 billion for a team that there's a chance and that's what we've thrown out the idea that would be great for”

especially baseball because everyone's like how do you fix baseball the idea that we came up with was if you have if you can't go over 500 for five consecutive seasons you automatically have to sell the team like immediately five seasons you do not guys get to dictate who the buyer is as well as you know it's just goes to sale you have to sell it five seasons is crazy like to not be over 500 for five seasons based on when are you really gonna be the commissioner is it before we have some you it's that was

our best idea there's a lot worse it's like a nice perk you don't want to go down you don't want to see what's underneath with some of our uh I told you're gonna say you won't relegation you know move the poor took it red soaks up for the major league I think it would be unbelievable yeah

it's just it's never gonna happen the way that they they write in I love the bailoss you're going

to math it's like you've just defended why it doesn't happen here because the team's value is with you yeah I don't hate it but it's I mean I do hate it but it's the reality and it's never gonna change like the one thing that I always say is European sports fans haven't figured out but if we do they don't take any shit if the teams like try to fuck them over if they try to raise ticket prices if they're in the middle of a dry spell like the fans will they'll do the

walkout they'll do a walkout you think I mean like any of you do any any self-respecting fanbase would go to the training ground and threaten the players with crew boss yeah that's what you do now in America we're just saying hey we're taking this awesome but anyway when I first watched the NFL it was a newly and saint bad season it was 85 and and I watched the saints put the

fans put people back on the head to be the eight and I'd never seen like fan I was like I looked

to it I thought oh my god like they are just they've still got the beer they've still got the hot dog life's not that bad but they were making a joke out of it yeah I was like why are they not ripping their shirts off jumping onto the field and trying to kick the crap out of the players that pulley would not have ended well for the fans like there's nothing but like you get that's the biggest difference between all of this yeah it's uh and the American owners

of the Premier League teams um you that's crazy you let your owners move teams right yeah but you're like so compliant you're like yeah course yeah they own it they can do what they won't man yeah well no we hate it but it's just a but it's can't do it it's a reality that we've kind of accepted like the owner of the athletics John Fisher like fuck that guy yeah we did we literally we was like once where we said every podcast like fuck that bad bad human being

“I don't care about like he's making a lot of money good for his family I guess but you have to”

realize that the one thing we don't have in America the owners of these teams they don't they don't really care about the communities that they buy teams they just they want and that's why you would I don't understand why you would like cheer for the Rams it's like when you've cheated when you've moved to another city they could happen again I don't know why the Raiders like the Las Vegas but that's also an NFL problem because the NFL wants the big markets the NFL is the one that

push them to do that but like the American winters go over to England they buy the Premier League teams and when you speak to them they'll be like okay we see them as vastly under developed Emily's and what does that mean they'll be like they've essentially content platforms we're gonna yeah they know really content platforms this is our is our this is the reason why our bears are looking for new stadium it's not because the McCaskee I don't think the McCaskee

is like necessarily want to do it the NFL says hey you got to get a new stadium so now you're

worth nine billion dollars so we're worth seven billion dollars rate everyone goes up that's all

they're trying to do it's bullshit what are we coming for it's tradition at this point it's just right I went here when I was a kid I saw I used to watch the games of watch these games of my

“parents so I'm gonna continue to the same thing but hey the dog league does it yeah I think the dog”

will make it every better I think I'm delivering I got a question nearly like an NFL PA in the

it we know it's all over the union and it's so I just might be a movie this might be a new

“movie that we just created or but yeah it's a single generation maybe it's a border dogs I”

did I went to I went to Spain over Christmas and I took a tour of the stadium that they have there the new real Madrid stadium so the the crazy thing about that place and it's beautiful

I went inside I looked around I was like this is an amazing stadium and I couldn't put my finger

on why I liked it so much and then after about like three minutes it dawned on me there are no visible advertisements anywhere in this they spend like 1.8 billion dollars upgrading and they put a lot of money into it but you look around in the states and if you're at like any ballpark doesn't matter what sport there's the giant banners everywhere it's your eyes they're drawn to it everywhere you look advertisement advertisement billboard and this giant giant brand new stadium that

cost $2 billion or whatever it is to upgrade there's just no advertisement it looks clean it looks beautiful and I thought to myself like how how is this even possible how why why are

“the owners of this team not concerned with making money like in America what's the difference”

there because it's an awesome experience to go to a game and not have to look at all that stuff wait till she they come over here on their tour and they see the Jacksonville jaguar stadium with the jacuzzi's and they're gonna go back careful they careful don't talk about it I'll draw look at that yeah don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't work with the Jaguar's pool of it no no no no the pools the best I'm gonna yeah god that'll be the that we've been in a lot

but it is the Americans are like it's content platforms it is so unbelievably crazy I don't know what we're cheering for dog leagues you can ask me something but yeah all right oh I was going to ask you in the history of the world cup because this is the book I love it I love the history in the world cup for me best champion ever what's the team where you're like that was the team you know it's states 234 238 the best I mean the world cup ended 2022 I mean it's quite a cliffhanger

“for what's a television series you did like you know wow I can't wait for the next one”

we have little messy Argentina my goat uh that's fighting tool why yeah oh we're now those bigger and stronger than everyone the human beings there's a Ronaldo kind of human beings and there's a little little messy kind of thing yeah I'm here Donna yeah I'm but he did hate it everything messy did on cocaine yeah and he was fatter yeah yeah and um I just live life yeah just live that's one way to put it just live life so the mammoth on the thing that meant to messy in and back it that was

like I don't know what what super bowl that would be that was just like please don't stay football that was just like what I don't like to be hyper ball it was like watching whom is obviously like acted out live every I mean that was they were just trading goals the biggest moment this human being that little little messy tiny little man looks like he's wandered out of super cuts but it's like oh my god just transcendent football star

four times he'd failed the marathoner thing lingering like marathoner in heaven you're not as

good as me you can never be as great as me until you win he's on teams that are crazy like

reckless I mean just insane all they wanted to do was just you know eat the beef drink the beer hang not win the football everything was on him loses his first game to Saudi Arabia which was just like oh my god it's happening again and the stud digs deeper and ends up winning it was like watching Cicifus like roll up rock up the hell mob leavey would have been looking down from heaven being like respect you got there marvely he's still alive is he really yeah

hundred you know the hundred how makes me so happy I know is he really alive yes oh go fleshy mob leavey yeah yeah isn't that great he actually lives in Chicago hundred now the wind in me I actually went into the radio remote and like seven years ago he was still sharp as could be I'm so unbelievably happy yeah if you won't wind him in and I'm not I would not joke I want you to know if you're doing it if I find out he's dead

I am going to be crushing the only reason I bring up is because Eddie who you met uh before the bear's package game we saw let's go on the sideline Eddie texted me other day he's like hey do you think we should see if Marvel leavey will come in I was like

pick him yeah I hope I'll pick him up yeah by the way the first time we ever came to Chicago again

1986 after the super after the first American bull a stayed with a Chicago kid in Norsebrook and he taught me to see his grandma we were going out to Carson's ribs that was very fancy back in the day when to pick his grandma if I was just like this 15-year-old kid in a tower block on lake shore drive and she goes she should introduce him to my neighbor I was like who's your neighbor she goes sit look when that's like what um and genuinely I've rang his doorbell this beautiful lovely

I got to spend enough the new and we've sit look it's incredible and now garden I mean he was like

half more of leavey yeah we're gonna get yeah we're gonna get Marvel leavey if you do the gauntlet yeah

“all right so anyway messy does that work up yeah that's why we still look hang up yeah”

but let's hang up on oh by the way the other one there would be married on the man 1986 there's six Diego Maradona on the terrible team this incredible player who I mean would not joking he'd like did the blow some Monday choose they wins they Thursday sweatered out Friday football Saturday then repeat repair I mean that was who he was he didn't even use a squat impudent like huge it was like it was like a running back he was built

like the thighs he really shot straight um exactly you couldn't knock him off the ball played England shadow of the foreclam wall like these were my heroes and are still rooted for the English team and Diego Maradona this five foot six little man first goal he punched there's this family yeah yeah a big band of god yeah he jumped he but jumped him to the goalkeeper like punched it I don't know why the television commented he didn't actually say it like it was pretty

“good yeah yeah no VAR the referee didn't say it and afterwards an incredible line man like”

out of a man madali asked man that he said there said did you handle it and he said it was a little bit the head of Diego a little bit the hand of god just in kind of a random one for then a couple of minutes later what we're just reeling in agony like genuinely like I was trying I was borderline gonna disembowel myself it was just like my heroes being absolutely ingested he destroyed the whole team he picked the ball up deep and beat all 10 of them and

one of the English players later said it was all it was a goal so breathtaking it was all like a dude to not applaud it myself and so one goal like bastard second goal and when it was over when outside and I don't know if you've ever felt like this after watching a team you love crap the bed with the world watching I've got a soccer ball and just drove it through the window of the house like just in agony just like you know too many team movies are probably watched and my

dad who was a bit of a you know he's a bit of a disciplinary invested the glass was tinkling down and he just looked at me I was like panting like desperately sweaty like young young James Spader and he goes he just goes son I understand I understand he's been there yeah so that's it those two 86 yeah last one please god this one yeah the world needs a bit of joy the world needs a bit of connectivity the world needs a bit of fit of coming together and feeling good about it itself

assist coverage options are selected by the customer availability and eligibility vary by state and now here's more Roger Bennett what what are your thoughts on the different groups of like to group 59 states is in I feel like we got a good draw and then England that felt like they were group of death are they group of death everyone's gonna get out every team you care about will get out so we need to very very large woke up every like three teams out the full will get out the thing

about America that's amazing is that we were like yeah we got these teams we didn't get any good ones

when we could have got Argentina we could have got England and all like when Shak drew when Shak put his hand into the ball and pulled out Australia he did the Lord's work it was one of the great moments in American history but away you know they only use balls in drawers when they're trying to fix

them now and this day and age I have all the technologies that are but the amazing thing is

how Shak because some of those balls are hot I imagine yeah some of those balls are very cold and the amazing thing is because Shak the hand is how we like I mean it would have been like micro little dots for him that was incredibly death yeah it was one great job he should get probably what's the metal that they give out the thing of honour purple heart yeah metal boner yeah then yeah she put that work alone it was incredible but yeah we should get out the group

yeah we have to get out of that group right if it's what Australia paradigm why and then to be determined probably turkey okay turkey's pretty good though right the other ones that we don't want they're annoyingly good but we'll get out we will get out and god i've got to say

“London Donovan that goal 2010 at the do we even remember that yeah they were on the brink of”

crap in the bed again two two it was they needed to yeah they needed to be Algeria it was like the best the best distribution ever from ten hours on that play right it was it was I mean it was it was it was like QB won't ask yes I mean it was Friday night light through out it evolved to do a bit of density London Donovan a two two by the way was Portugal that was the biggest win of all time that was the the best win was the one we're being a little less

than you that face we win one one yeah yeah I mean that was amazing that that was a 2010 the Algeria

thing we were like out in the opening where we shot the bed again we'd failed and when the America fell with England shit the bed no one really cares you know the Premier League comes back on everyone forgets they all find different regions to hate each other the if America fails it sets the game back like a decade that's the crazy thing about your what's it stick yeah like every time they shit the bed it's like ten years off and so they scored and it

was beautiful but it was like dodging a bullet I mean they lost in the next game anyway but it gave

“you a sports sentiment that's what football that's what the Americans need to do they need to”

give you moments that you register man you're the threshold big cap yeah you have to know what they've done yeah and people need to see and but this will cut will be massive whether they do well or don't do well because there is an enormous audience now there is like this young huge footballing audience who you have the US do well it's magic if they don't

they'll 19 94 World Cup was like OJ did this thing on the first thing so like it kind of

blind it's a good way put yeah he did this thing yeah he did this thing yeah he did the same what you want about OJ yeah he did it like a hundred percent OJ yeah he did the student himself he did the thing he did so like no one was talking about the World Cup there's a rocket we're playing the next one they went like and then then then three days later island played Italy in the Medellan and like New Jersey showed up like half of them it was like Angela's ashes and half of them

looked like the cast of the soprano they said they were all there and it was a delirious thing it showed America that you can all just like dig into your roots like your hybrid identities and so whatever happens like it will be you guys that World Cup is still the biggest World Cup in terms of attendance oh wow we exist our stadiums dude this one will smash all the records I assume yeah you guys love a circus you love daytime drinking excuses and you love

light loop productivity in the on dates yeah it's a part of madness yeah you know what I we don't like is the the time waste we got you something about the time waste yeah I can't we just do like what can't the clock just stop when the ball goes out and the flop which is worth the flopping the time waste the flopping is bad but it'd be it'd be better if it wasn't also time waste and they also feel like they've kind of figured out the like they fixed it a

little bit a little bit like there's a problem yeah but like I think refs have gotten a little bit better being like it's so clear why don't we have a clock because electricity's only just been invented in England I think it's part of it but PFC's right when you have a game and there's like everyone said 80 minutes left or sorry it's in the 80th minute and a team is up one nothing or two one and they just sit on it it's soft

arsenal did that shit the other day right we're talking about it's so what are you talking about I think it's not from you no you still don't you still got it they get that from you when

“you get when you run in the clock out but you're still got it the first thing you need to do”

that in the football we learn that off you know we did not tell you how it's happening it's

and pet guardian jumezula've got this deep deep friendship they've come on our show to talk about each other and they're like begging and burrowing sure McVey and cronkeys team arsenal Mikkel Latetta they become very close so like our coaches who used to exist in their own little world where the only things that matter but like great haircuts, clothes, driving lambs into lamppost walking out by another lamppost that was what was important about football and now

they're getting your wily American way now learning to run out the clock you watch the end of the end of the day you're going to get first that Chris Cummins with he's just telling us how they're going to like that in the middle of the road you think that way because I guess you grow watching

good then you watch English football so they never had late leads yes they never had to do that

oh it's it's it's it's top American I hate it I hate it so bad like it's if it's the second half I saw a stat that it might have been arsenal but there was like 50 minutes of gameplay in the

“90-minute game yeah oh that's a lot that's a lot yeah that's how it definitely might have gotten”

for us because the NFL I think it's like 11 minutes but in soccer it's like you come to expect more than that like yeah yeah it's it's borderline like you're not watching that sport well you don't watch it for that do you watch it to see the players speak behind the hands that's like you know there's many many reason why we have to crowd shots of large belly man with new castle around there for you in there bits off in there I mean there's lots of reasons

you watch this crap I mean it's the culture it's all a bit what about good what about soccer with

no off-site how awesome would that be um skies cherry picking I think you know what I'm realizing football needs a commissioner is what it needs it needs more invention needs more I'm vibing on a couple of these things I mean the the time of the thing is I don't understand either you are not wrong why the referee is such a prick these are I and only I yeah no I mean it is

“it's like it's a very in England we don't have much man we used to have an empire right we”

had the royal family and it was kind of a yeah that's like all great we might have had a hand in screw in that one up here you start you started it but they definitely they definitely they definitely I'm not I don't I can't but we had the we had that we had downtown I beat it over right the Beatles yeah still got the Beatles still got the Beatles but we don't have much and so in England like when you have a tiny bit of power in life you'll find it the whole time like

you know if you like people who have jobs just love effing other people over when they have a tiny little bit of leverage it's like a tiny it's like a petty and that the referee why is the referee the only one who knows how many minutes a left and doesn't tell anybody who has a moral in the dumb it's like it's like one of the great vests is like he's like a bouncer or a mal security car yeah it's like all right I relax man yeah I don't have to tell you I'm a prick I can be a friend

I'm being a prick where everybody watching we have no power we have no control I mean it is remarkable

“man I think yeah I think just if you made a rule last 20 minutes of the game the clock stops and the”

ball goes out of bounds yeah clock stops on every foul every penalty it was wrong with habit have a tense like the like in in basketball where you can have a five set you know what I mean like if you're just standing in the corner trying to shield the defenders and not moving these you got to give the ball the other team we are about to enter an American century of football like you guys are only just turning your mind to it in every way like JJ what last night

there's the virus the the where they kick the refereeing decisions it's like when the NFL guy is into the side it's still very bumpy it takes forever it takes a long long time JJ's team was just FDA over at the weekend and he just belted out live on tight the owners in England

say nothing they never speak they never do any JJ's so far as terrible the rule should be

if it's not clear and obvious it shouldn't take longer than the 60 seconds uh the virus should be 60 seconds no and it's all over the English papers today they're just like Burnley owner JJ what has new idea all of this stuff well this is what America is what we do as Americans if we can't win we're going to change the rules yes we have to change the rules yes sports stupid we have to change on force until we win and then we take so much pride once we did it yeah it was not I have never

felt more to miss think about if we lose it's unfair then when we change the rules we win and then we just rub it and yeah we tell everyone else get better we're the best we're going to we're going to ruin the game but we're going to win I've got to tell you the excitement I would bite your own off for that absolutely all right we'll Roger has been awesome I got one last question again ever go by the book is out now we are the world you are supposedly human being

all this interview go buy it right now get excited for the world cup it's going to be World Cup

fever my last question rowback question RHO back dot com promo code take 20% off your first

purchase coups it's polo's hoodies jogger shorts rowback dot com promo code take US out England out who's going to win the what so I'm not you're not picking against the you don't care about England you don't you're not paying you care about England's yeah you can't you not just won't be clear yeah you're not making it to us because I'm a mum yeah yeah that's nice yes you're not paying it to US so we're taking him out of it yeah yeah

who's going to win the world cup if I was a betting man and I still had money left over after

“all the dog you're talking to bedding men right now so I think I would put all of my money big”

cat oh responsibly all of it yeah on I love no way man shut off no way I just love it do it why don't we don't think about it you know the best that's a just impulse right you know wait they've not been in the tournament for generation oh that's great um they've got a talent so squad and they've got there's a word early in haul I mean other things yeah yeah big big Thor yeah yeah big bloody thought or wishes man he's like

he's like remember when Shaq came into the NBA and he just like was just different and he was breaking backwards and every night it was just like what did he do? early in haul and is that

is that man he's like just it's like chat GPT created a football it's um I mean he is just so powerful

so dominant he's quite funny too he's the the longer he's gone on the most developed

“of persona and with him leading this talent the squad the only 25 to one it's not yeah I thought”

it was like crazy that's not there okay well by the way it's a very good five six seven don't think best odds don't you think that's not don't even think please if they win you if I put your kids to college big cat it's all I can do to like repay you yeah generosity of spirit and enjoy in a lot of crap or way best bet it's just impulsive month go on he doesn't help the Italy sturdy to one and they're not even in it yeah they could be though they

might be in a no way Spain France anyone but England baby anybody any bit a US is 65 to one the other we gotta know because like when we just hop into sports we have to know like what's the narrative around again is there a guy that hasn't won the big one is there a guy in soccer that's that's been like annoying all of this one of the greatest players in the world yeah but for whatever reason what they've choked in the world cup there is one the one man only in his name is christian

holistic no it's an album yeah yeah yeah we can't but yeah yeah yeah I mean he's like I was in in the euro's european tournament in Ukraine in 2012 and I couldn't get a hotel room I had to sleep in the in the street overnight and then the next day the hotel came out and said hey we've got a room for you I was like cool the good Portugal just lost the whole team of left the hotel and I got Ronaldo's room and I walked in and like the air was like dangerously it was dangerous there

it wasn't like just a tiny hint it was like thick with a track on the wall and I slept there for two nights and genuinely for about 40 months after that I smelled unbelievable and everyone I sure cans with smell to christian Ronaldo they too and I was just like putting his vibe out into the world he said I mean he's a preening Portuguese like his showpapers he hasn't won the big one he's not in it destroy you know if you ask him get him on the show man yeah I'm on the show because you

“when you're in like really fit mode that's what you remind me of man oh really I think you have”

a lot of preening shop on yeah like eight abs man yeah and he's like I wonder when you do get him on this couch on your casting couch then you uh if you ask him what would he like what pisses him off

more that he's never won it as a hyper-competitive person all that Leonardo Messi just did yeah

and I bet you genuinely yeah he'll tell you that it's he's never won it but it will be oh yeah like the thing that makes him scream into the abyss and like angry in extra almond at night sometimes is that that little bastard and he's better than him yeah well yeah yeah Ronaldo's not even the best Ronaldo no he's like the third best Ronaldo yeah it's what you must feel like about calling coward right it's like that kind of like that it's like that level of like

yeah I mean you got you got Ronaldo then you got fat Ronaldo then you got Ronaldo then you got Ronaldo and then you got christian or he's the fourth best Ronaldo um god this is real knowledge and rolloutini had another name a common board it was he got jargon banks he got do you talk

god you got incredible knowledge you know I love this much doesn't like football no

but does he like conspiracy yes yummy yummy yes that would it is yes so by the book yes it's all in so good I am so I get to the bottom of it good theories about the 98 World Cup it was the man on the grassy note oh you did it that's too much Nike um yes it was actually well Roger thank you you're the best and we'll have you back on during the World Cup big cat you were gorgeous human being what you do for football is oh man all right thank you Roger Bennett was brought to you by Microsoft 365

I I don't know I was it was just they were like it was just it was two it was like it's gonna take two hours

they're like all right it's 10 minutes left pretty much done they just have to put this little crown uh temporary thing in and she tried like four times and then I could tell that she was getting flustered and it was one of those awkward moments where like she was trying to put it in she was like she couldn't put it in she couldn't she failed like four times like she was putting it in and then had to pull it out and she put it in again put it in again she getting there pulled it out

at any point no she wasn't talking either like she was it was silent there was a silent kind

of it was just like she didn't give you like if this never happens to me and she wasn't yeah

she was like this should have been quicker but I just can't do it and where you like can you tell it's not like don't worry I got time like I can I can wait but it was it was awkward and then eventually the dentist had to come over and just do it oh so somebody else had to actually finish the job oh the dentist was a woman the dentist was a woman and so was the other dentist yep assistant yeah but yeah it was just I mean it's not like breaking news the dentist's fucking sucks

ideas that we got to put dentists on on airplanes so you just kill two birds one so it's like hey I have to go somewhere I'm gonna be trapped in an airplane let me just do the dentist stuff now what do you think about just a dentist where they knock you out I'm down for that actually I'm sorry yeah I actually don't think they do that unfortunately they might I actually I still have to go back I just it was my left side I

still have stuff to do on my right side and can you can ask and they're like there's there's something you can do to get taken out the she also said I was like the bravest strongest boy she's ever had wow that was nice she doesn't sit and it's all now no chance she says that's everyone's like why you're so brave she'll give you a lollipop after the sticker did you look at the you look at the mission to take him in the lobby oh this you're the bravest boy we've had oh you

get the sheriff's bad yeah yeah dentist sucks dentist sucks it does I'm happy you got the spiders figure out that's in prayers we'll see I'm not I'm not speaking to students not it's not spider she's gonna wait for the warm when do you like it's there or maybe I don't know where they are but they're not you gotta get to where they're probably be like when we come back from Arizona and then like once it's like you know a week or so of warm weather but I'm saying you got to go

bomb their house you got to get them like they got eye atola yeah no the problem is there is just parts

there's parts that I can't access I've talked about this before we need to point us way too much there's cracks that you can't get to know there's just yeah there's like I have a balcony where I can I can just secure the perimeter but then there's like a window in my bedroom that I can't get to the outside and I can just see them I've got one yeah can you look up like what spiders love to build their nest and well then you can create like a spider or a fly from across the lake they fly from

Indiana spiders fly across the lake you got the Indiana spiders that land on your balcony yes

“look I've looked it up is the thing yes those are the things I want to make that's why”

there's so many spiders are on the lake it's impossible it wouldn't be in the end of but yeah like Michigan they're flying from Michigan it could be in the end it did a little bit but that's not more that's not crossing I mean we got we got bears to the sky yeah we can have spiders moving back to the ground that's that's why because I've like why the fuck are there so many spiders it is common all across like what are these spiders called I'm not sure flying spiders

I'm just Googling spiders flying across like Michigan okay the balloon spider yeah that's oh balloon spider they might balloon fly two balloons spiders fly spiders use silk to get spray fly by a process called ballooning young spiders usually balloon chiefly to spurs after hatch wow

never knew that yeah so it's not out because it's scary it's all it's all buildings like

within proximity to the lake because so they're like little drones yes you're gonna drone straight yes so yeah the you know there's always there's always a threat like it's not the war's never over

They also did you notice they make waterproof cast now that have to get wet Oh, so you don't even you don't even have to give up the pool in the summers. I'm not that that rock He it actually is bad if he doesn't get it wet every day that rock isn't that insane Come a long way with cast worst part by far of breaking your leg or your ankle or your foot

It's trying to figure out how to take a bath or a shower. Yeah, it cuz it's impossible and I just smell It's not so bad when you take it off like you would eventually like we just put like a fucking

“Garbage bag over my cast and like shower. Oh, yeah, definitely it was it was still getting wet. Yes. You should have the doctor like”

When he's he going to get surgery? No, you should have the doctor do a surgery and be like tighten up the ligaments So he can throw fast. Yeah, the it was also his office. He's a lefty.

So the other thing my kids are in that age where they're like start to learn about death and everything and it's you know a lot of questions about death and We were in the car the other day my whole family so it was me my wife and my three kids in backseat and

My my I've talked about it a little bit before my wife's mother passed away a few years ago from ALS really sad Please support ALS research But either way we were talking about it and what in my son's like hey, so so your mom when she died how old was she My my my wife was like 67 and then my daughter's goes 67 right interface like God damn it. It was just a perfect timing

Couldn't help but laugh. Yeah, the 67 of the dead mom is crazy. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, it's our grandmother Yeah, it's you six seven or death. It's it's like the most possible and appropriate usage of it put the fact that it was so I'm 40 such an innocent place makes it the fall we both cracked up very hard They were just like why are you laughing it's like forget it don't worry about it. Zack My preference this week is uh, so we spent we spent a significant amount of time in the golf simulator for the stream last week

Because me Hank and Max. I'd never been more frustrated at a day here since then there's a most frustrated ever been

So I spent this last week probably three different YouTube sessions just kind of Googling how do you swing a golf club? How does this work? There's got to be a way to do better than we did there because I know similar golf These are the regular golf so I can't even imagine what those swings look like in real life IRL and I'm cooking the conclusion that like I know you got to be golf's an adult thing to be an adult male

“You need to be semi competent on the golf course and I don't think I'm ever gonna be able to do that and it's ever been more infuriating”

I just think I'm cooked isn't it don't mail. I don't think I'll ever have the opportunity to be golfer I've never seen Zack as angry as I saw him and like we we took a little little sidebar at one point Yeah ice cream break He he was legitimately furious of like how poorly did we're doing this in so Zack here's the positive spin zone It's not like you joined a golf podcast

That's true, but I feel like you did we frequent a lot of golf that's a thing. That's not true Zack have you thought about maybe Mayo socks just curious everything We put Mayo socks on the table the other day via Twitter didn't reach what we needed for the for the Mayo feet I'll dip my feet into anything probably to get like it's the most emasculate I felt

I felt small in the golf so I've never felt that small my life

You're not small and and also the beauty golf is you don't have to be you don't have to be good at golf You just have to be good at hanging like if you can if you can be an enjoyable and enjoyable Hang while you golf poorly. It's still gonna be a good experience right now. You got it as a bad golfer You got you got it not terrible. You got to be a little good. Yeah Feel like a fucking asshole right out there and everyone else is moving down the course and you

“I that's why when I golf with my friends are good”

I just don't even play half the holes because that's yeah, that's that's fine, but like you're not fun But yeah, you got it it depends on your attitude to nuts and you suck anger energy vampire Yeah, you can't be in it. You can't be the guy if you're the guy that sucks You have to know that you're the guy that sucks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't play half of my shots Yeah, I'm just like I'm not going to get that max you you don't have a great time when you hit the bad shots

More the more people I talk to that play golf at a high level. I genuinely think the sweet the best golfer that you can be Is like if you shoot a 90 That is the most fun you can have golfing possibly

Because all the good shots feel amazing the bad shots are just like whatever I suck

So who cares if you shoot a 90 that's the most fun if you shoot in the 70s consistently You're miserable when you play golf because you miss so many shots or anything that anything that's like borderline Not a great shot you beat yourself up over. Yeah, like if you could shoot the 70s new shoot like an 81 You had a terrible day and then you're what's the fun in that but you shoot if you usually shoot like a 95

“And you should a 90 you had the best time ever playing golf that day. I agree”

I would just like to break because that's exactly where I'm at. It's already when it's break Realistically break 50 on a on a on a nine hole because I'm more of a nine hole guy. Yeah, we're nine hole guys I don't know even though if you can get excited about the good shots when you're bad golf or because you know Yeah, you know it was an actually what if you do that You know it was an accident like I'm not I didn't really mean do that

No, but you get it now. You get like maybe this is like every time I hit a good shot on a golf course

I'm like I have I'm never hitting a bad shot again like that's it something something clicks

You're like you figured it out. Yeah, I told it out. I'm I'm one step away from the pros The go the YouTube searches you went so poorly my last search was like how do you cheat in golf? The easiest sport to cheat. Oh, yeah, actually Zach we should get I meant to order that club a while ago The one that's just the one that you hold up to it and you press a button ask Kittle and it'll get those been used

“I meant yeah, yeah, because he's hurt we got to get some carbon. I'm gonna just had one of those”

The one that shoots it. Yeah, I'm gonna do it right now. Yeah, we'll get you one of those Maxes you have a firefest from Tuesday night. So we did the dug dug challenge second year in a row Max and I did it. We went nine of us went to 13 restaurants and I had to order the thing right before the order the exact order the person right before us was in the drive-through and it was doubled doubled and we had so much food puked everywhere. How are you feeling?

Yeah, I am my firefest about that is that ice I thought like okay I shouldn't have I ate so much food and I was like I should feel worse Then I did like I ate so much food that night and it hasn't really like if I just miss I had a normal day yesterday

I missed a camaraderie at the boys. It was fun. It was fun. It's also like just moments that you never like we got

It's a taco bell and we got discovery boxes which are there it's like two chalupa's a burrito chips and all this stuff And I eat ate the chalupa's no problem. I was struggling with the burrito because it wasn't I didn't like it And Max just looked at me. He's like you're full. Give me that burrito and he just took it off my hands like a fucking Just just a great teammate. I got this. Yeah, because I you could see to my face like I don't like this burrito Can't have it. He's rather wet

wasn't good. I mean last one do you have firefest No, I would be sick. You sure. Yeah nothing you tweeted maybe a little didn't let anything settle a little bit settle yeah like uh Luholt's dying. Oh Yeah, my bad Luke All right, I I I proved this. I proved the tweet. Okay. What was it? What was well for the people who missed it the the tweet was

Luholt's just passed away and then memes tweeted the meme of the guy stopped by my biggest haters funeral They said this is from Ryan day Yeah, Ryan day right now Little quick look quick on the draw. It's probably like five seconds after he died. Yeah, but memes and I had a little discussion And we just ran through a bunch of simulations about like you know they have people that write a bit of worries

That haven't ready to go just in case people pass away. Yeah, like we did some some simulation drills

“I'm like celebrities at die memes quick. What do you tweet out of this guy and he was doing really really good?”

And then Hank came in and Hank actually Hank beat memes at the simulated a bit you wear a meme game. That's crazy. Yeah You see some some a little bit your eyes. I think it was maybe Robert read for the ill bituary writer had died 10 years prior a long time ago Yeah, but this one was I think what do we simulate cadelle like Roger cadelle passes away and then Hank times and immediately goes NFL players right now and it's all the soldiers reading the magazine that says Hitler dead

Just fucking beast on memes right in his face Good one out memes them. Yeah, okay good show boys Numbers so we're gonna get it eight you know two 23 I'll go 85 56 up is pretty decent comment. A lot of the people people in the comments are defending you be like this shit's hilarious

I think it was that no, I also think that anybody 86 he's kind of a dead for a couple. I know he said it wasn't that. I said 80 plus like you had a great run

Two for two so 85

Someone's got a turn on the shoe

It's

“45 anyone anyone one more one more eight one more same numbers two 23”
