0:00

show you how easy it is to file a claim with GEICO,

0:02

we hired a nature show host. In a native

0:04

habitat of a suburban driveway, the poor

0:06

victim of a broken windshield is left

0:08

assessing his vehicle Absolutely helpless. Well

0:10

Not true. If he's got GEICO, he can file claim

0:13

online over the phone or with his handy mobile

0:15

app. suddenly would have

0:17

to fend for himself awaiting his terrible fate.

0:19

Nope. Geico will assign him a designated claims

0:21

team to help him out too.

0:23

Secretariat is car fixed and everything.

0:25

Wow. Nature is so cool.

0:27

GEICO. Great service. Without

0:29

all the drama. This is the Dan Leverage

0:31

Show with the Stuttgart podcast.

0:37

So

0:39

the guys came in guns blazing today

0:42

with the tank I want to burrow

0:44

over everybody -- Yep. -- including

0:46

my homes. Give me that guy. The guy

0:48

just staked his way up to take my and

0:50

then he's like one quarterback for your

0:52

life. I got Burrow. Week

0:55

twelve of twenty twenty two.

0:59

Why? Just because he beat my homes

1:01

by three because Kelsey fumbled and we're

1:03

not used to Kelsey fumbling in that situation,

1:06

And also, I don't know why it wasn't reviewed.

1:08

I felt like his knee was down. Kelsey didn't

1:10

actually fumble. They just kept the play moving.

1:12

And if If not, would your

1:15

answer be different? Because I thought Kansas

1:18

City, I trust that if they're gonna lose

1:20

-- Yeah. -- it's it's like one of the only

1:22

things I know about that sport. they

1:24

might lose, but

1:26

they're they're better than everybody. Except

1:28

Cincinnati and Joe Burrow. I

1:30

mean, Joe Burrow doesn't

1:32

sweat Patrick Mahomes. He doesn't

1:34

sweat Kelsey. He doesn't

1:37

sweat anybody, anything,

1:39

Dan. He's Joe Cool.

1:41

My offensive line isn't very good.

1:43

No problem. No Joe Mixin. No

1:46

problem. Playing the Chiefs. No

1:48

problem. My blind receiver, Tyler

1:51

Boyd, did the worst drop in the history of the NFL.

1:54

No problem. I win the game.

1:56

I've beaten them three straight times. He's

1:58

the gold standard right now, Patrick Mahomes

2:01

at Joe Burrow has beaten them

2:03

three consecutive times, including in

2:05

the AFC championship with a trip to

2:07

the Super Bowl at stake. That's

2:09

what Burrow has done. I'll take that guy. There

2:11

was a very important question being posed

2:13

this morning on morning NFL radio,

2:16

Dan, do

2:17

the Bengals have the Chiefs Burrow?

2:18

Oh, wow. See,

2:21

Jessica, this Stugotz is

2:23

here today longing for a different

2:25

time back when a man could just believe that

2:27

Alabama football was great because he

2:29

knew it was so. Yeah. Stugotz

2:31

his longing for a quarterback to

2:34

rush into the breach here and give him something

2:36

new as the old guys fade out and he's tired

2:38

of homes already. Just question him back when

2:40

Alex Smith was a boy. And

2:44

Stuttgart wants a new quarterback who

2:46

is poised and drops back and

2:48

on third and eighth, the the place covered.

2:51

That's a guy blitzing who's untouched.

2:53

Oh, it doesn't matter. Burrow,

2:55

Joe Cool. He is he's

2:58

making a tepid he's making a tepidistry

3:01

of I'm winter guy. I'm Tivo,

3:03

but I'm actually good. as

3:05

Jamal Chase is another one of these

3:07

astronauts.

3:07

night Like,

3:09

what like, that that guy And they have a great

3:11

offense. They do. In all seriousness,

3:13

and they have they have a well rounded offense.

3:15

They have a good running game with two good running

3:18

backs. They have a second wide receiver

3:20

that a many teams would be a number one

3:22

wide receiver. Not a story. This is what's

3:24

to god's likes. Oh, I love to say. got

3:26

a story. They've gotta order back now

3:28

who knows how to win. Mike Ryan's been questioning

3:31

them since they got to the bowl last year.

3:33

he was saying the cults were the same with the

3:35

wents. They were a bounce away or maybe that was

3:37

Dan doing that. Regardless,

3:41

the bengals have been questioned by this

3:43

show after making the championship round.

3:45

After making it Super Bowl and hardware at

3:47

sport, where it's hard, and

3:49

we were here to question him and Joe Burrow

3:52

wins every game, even it's against my homes,

3:54

even if they're close. And at the end, you trust him a

3:56

whole lot. No. They're a very good team. He does

3:58

have that it factor. He's obviously

4:00

a winner. It's irrefutable to

4:03

look at his career both in the college and pros

4:05

and and and say he's he's

4:07

not a winner. He can't do it. But it's just

4:09

a crazy thing to say about a quarterback

4:11

as the new generation gets made at the

4:13

position with all the old guys going out.

4:16

Oh, that dude is cool. Yeah. It's where

4:18

I get it's where I get the the Brady

4:20

comparisons outside of the the cool

4:22

stuff. It's just Tom Brady was always the

4:24

best quarterback, but he didn't

4:26

really have a skill set that you could identify

4:28

that was It wasn't cool. That was tangible. It

4:31

wasn't cool. Let's just underline that putting bold.

4:33

But Tom Brady never had a tangible skill

4:35

set that you would take over another player.

4:39

Throughout all his contemporaries, you'd take Breeze's

4:41

accuracy, you'd plenty of people had

4:43

bigger arms. He certainly wasn't mobile,

4:45

but he would still be the best

4:47

quarterback. And Joe Joe Burrow kinda

4:49

has that. I'm not really sure what

4:51

his elite skill is. It's

4:53

clearly in It's wonderful. Yeah. No.

4:55

There's something there's something about them. And

4:57

I think the last two wins that they've had

4:59

have been incredibly impressive,

5:02

and I have to walk back some of

5:04

my doubts about them. I still think that

5:06

their run to a Super Bowl

5:08

last year was generally flueke.

5:10

I don't know how they beat

5:12

Tennessee flatly. If you look back at

5:14

that game, Ryan Tanen Hill was disastrous.

5:17

but and he was sacked a million times. His

5:19

offensive line was terrible, but he's winter

5:21

guy now. Yeah. And Well, I still wouldn't say that

5:23

they're locked into the playoffs, although there seems to be

5:25

some breathing room there. They they the

5:27

bingles do have a a tough stretch coming

5:29

up. Regardless, we don't look

5:31

at schedule when stories are more

5:33

fun. Right. We need stories to

5:35

carry from month to month, the new generation of

5:37

quarterbacks who as Rogers fades

5:39

out and, oh, Brady's gonna end like that. That's how

5:41

it's gonna end for Brady. at the top of

5:43

that division, you would take the

5:45

Brady quarterback snake, though. Right? I

5:47

mean, that's that's the wildcats. Yeah.

5:49

Yeah. it's hard to do. We've seen that it's

5:51

very difficult for other quarters back all time. It's

5:53

him and Jacobsen, oddly enough. For

5:55

once Wait. The Jacobsen quarterback,

5:58

I'll take over. He's still in the best because,

5:59

honestly, there's so many things. Like, my home

6:02

scores have touched on yesterday, and it's basically

6:04

a fraction of an inch between I'm

6:06

gonna go in there and forth down and just stick

6:08

the ball in real fast or somebody's gonna chop

6:10

my arms off. One

6:12

of the things about football that is changed

6:14

so much in in ten years was

6:17

what

6:17

happens at the goal line? It is

6:19

just so incredibly difficult

6:21

to score when the poll

6:23

is right there at the goal line. It's so hard,

6:25

which is why I appreciate how Brady does

6:27

it and does it so well and so consistently

6:29

yesterday. Mike White Mike White. five.

6:32

Yeah. Just fall forward, please.

6:34

That was one white one of my bets yesterday

6:36

was Mike White under two and a half rushing yards.

6:38

Oh, that was a pet beat. I

6:40

love, though. And a seven year

6:42

touchdown run. I know. I was I was

6:44

living and dying with it. I love the

6:46

confidence, though, that sports fans have when

6:48

they watch the NFL. and

6:50

someone fails with the yard to go new. I mean,

6:52

the answer is right there. Like, you got you said, just

6:54

fall forward or hand it off to the running back

6:57

stop being in the shotgun or throw the

6:59

ball, run a play action. Everyone

7:01

has the answers when there's a

7:03

yard to go on on third and

7:05

fourth and one. three person in the

7:07

universe. This is so easy. Why is so why

7:09

is this leaning forward? It's so easy. Well,

7:11

the all the the tight end motion really works. Motion

7:13

the tight end. Mark Andrews did yesterday

7:15

and failed. Like, everything fails. We've got a

7:17

unique skill. We've watched Brady do it

7:19

for two decades with ease. I think he's got

7:21

a unique skill. You guys wanna see

7:23

me put light on molotov cocktail and

7:25

throw it at Stugotz? Stuttgart, this

7:27

was a tweet this weekend from

7:29

an NFL player who was watching TCU.

7:31

Oh, you're not actually gonna do that amount.

7:34

QB snake is the single

7:36

most difficult play to stop for one

7:38

yard or less without a doubt, especially

7:40

when you add pushes from behind into the equation.

7:42

We'll never understand taking the ball five plus

7:45

yards away from the line of scrimmage to

7:47

try and gain one yard at any

7:49

level. First of all,

7:50

do you agree with that statement? I

7:53

agree that it's hard, but the way Brady does

7:55

it is not out of the shelter information.

7:57

Totally undone. Your trap, totally I'm

7:59

done by him, not listening to you.

8:01

Yeah. Right now. That's the way it works.

8:04

Yeah. That's how we always win. Yeah. That's how

8:06

we always win then. five yards

8:08

behind the hot and screaming. Just line up behind

8:10

the center. Take the snap to the gun forward.

8:12

That's what he's saying. He's saying. He's shutting.

8:14

This defense defensive NFL player says, QB

8:16

SNEAK is the most difficult play to guard.

8:18

Yeah. Right. Steve Martin was not a

8:20

job. You guys, listen to me. Look at him. No. I

8:22

don't want to. It's not the most difficult

8:24

thing to guard. It's not don't know

8:26

your team try to get too cute. They try

8:28

to do too many things. God damn it. He's

8:31

good. Brenton, he's so good.

8:33

I helped him make his point, and

8:35

he instantly just took the opposite.

8:37

Mastercard. Do you know who the guy

8:39

that said it? Do you know No.

8:41

It's just

8:41

a guy. Did

8:43

they what? You can't He

8:46

doesn't know why he's laughing at. I don't get

8:48

what he says. Even

8:50

if he agrees with me. Oh

8:53

my god. You gotta do

8:55

it. This is what happened. Let for a play

8:57

by play for the for the the

8:59

audio audience. You didn't see it on video. You were

9:01

trying to help my channel. I I lit a molts out

9:03

cocktail. Dude, that's the guts. It bounced off him. Fill

9:05

back on me. I am now in fire. I

9:08

am in blame. Perfect.

9:10

Sorry. Okay. You were supposed to get him to

9:12

agree immediately. Yes. Yes. Incredible point.

9:14

And then you would be like, Hi.

9:16

HJJ what? Yeah. I would

9:18

have been clever. I hate these teams. You try

9:20

to listen. They made much out of you

9:22

be sneaky, trying to do another shotgun

9:24

formation. That's it. Just do what

9:26

Brady does. Tell me what's hard. What are

9:28

you looking at? stands on fourth

9:30

and short. you guys? because I have no clue what

9:32

you're saying. lady does. Hold on. Hold on.

9:34

Let's not please.

9:36

Please stay with me here.

9:39

throw a shot at me. I dare you.

9:41

I didn't know that. I

9:45

want the director's

9:47

cut of this show. I

9:49

hate -- No. -- for

9:52

a second. It's all coming undone. There's too

9:54

much pressure around here. I feel

9:56

fine. Well, that's

9:58

good that you feel fine because I'd

9:59

like to stay here. I don't wanna move. But all

10:02

you did this weekend was golf.

10:03

Totally unprofessional approach to the game.

10:06

Pretty much. Chris Cote

10:08

just said while it was happening

10:11

to you and the funniest part to me is

10:13

that you didn't hear him say it.

10:15

He said, Stuttgart has

10:17

no idea why he's laughing

10:19

right now. Stugotz

10:22

laughed over it, didn't hear

10:24

it. You were doing directors cut

10:26

on Stukats. We'll stay right here.

10:29

So please keep going from right

10:31

there because he

10:33

always wins. And

10:35

you will always lose. Yeah.

10:37

Joe Burrow is the coolest.

10:39

He wasn't listening to anything you

10:41

guys were saying. Burrow? Let

10:43

me You

10:44

will always monitor Dave Montana under

10:47

this guy. He does

10:49

keep two hands on the ball in the pocket. He never

10:51

takes two hands on the ball. Just moxie

10:53

with him. Mhmm. If if

10:55

I may for just a second, given what

10:57

a meme was just saying, I

11:00

am ready to make the claim as someone

11:02

who's been seen as a public douder

11:04

of Tom Brady. Even

11:06

though I just dared to say that at thirty

11:08

seven, hey, what's weird that his deep

11:10

ball is less accurate than how quarterback's age,

11:13

and then he lived. He had another hall of fame

11:15

career after that. And

11:17

it's imperceptible slight if

11:19

I'm saying you can't ever tell how the old quarterbacks

11:21

are actually getting old if they're still in the

11:23

same uniform. It's deep

11:24

ball accuracy. and

11:26

he's still out there. Are you telling me

11:29

that at the goal line where we are now

11:31

manufacturing these machines of muscle

11:33

like A. J. Brown, to collide

11:35

into each other over a very small

11:37

space with three hundred and

11:39

fifty pound people all jammed up

11:41

in there. You guys are telling me that

11:43

forty five year old Tom Brady is still

11:45

the guy you trust the most

11:47

with that half yard That might be

11:49

the most impressive thing on his entire

11:51

resume that has three hall of fame

11:53

careers on it. If you're telling me that the

11:55

inches are harder to come by ever over

11:57

there in the most violent space, and it's still

11:59

a forty

11:59

five year old who knows how to

12:02

sliver through an ass crack to get that between

12:04

the three the two three hundred and fifty

12:06

pounders. You guys are still

12:08

telling me that this guy's the best at that

12:10

too. By a lot. Yeah.

12:12

Jalen Hertz is pretty good at it. Yeah. The

12:14

Eagles have this, like, weird formation where they,

12:16

like I don't know what it's called. It's got a name.

12:18

It's got, like, the two guys right behind the set the the

12:20

quarterback, and that shows coach. It's called

12:22

the two guys right behind the center and then the guy

12:24

further back and they just push. But there I think

12:26

let's look up the numbers. I don't think the Eagles have

12:28

been stopped on that all season. that's

12:30

pretty stupid. What we're doing right now at this

12:32

point though, you need to get a yard. They're hard to come by.

12:34

But what if we just push everybody from behind with

12:36

three hundred and fifty pound people? Football.

12:40

It's stupid. Now and then the games

12:42

are all decided by three points and you need Joe

12:44

Cool to be better on third and seven

12:46

when they need eight yard than

12:48

someone like Jalen Ramsay.

12:50

Not the thing. Not the thing that he was doing

12:52

that game, but you got watching, like,

12:55

this is extraordinary athleticism,

12:57

d k med cast, almost no

12:59

one ever has looked like that in the history of this

13:01

sport. And hey, Jalen Ramsey's the

13:03

rare guy. who's good at covering those guys who can't

13:05

actually be covered. And at the

13:07

end of the game because it's all legislated

13:09

down to the finest of science in the

13:11

salary cap, everything's three points.

13:13

but we don't

13:14

know if Gino Smith is good at any point in the last

13:16

eight years until right now. Good.

13:18

God, the analysis of this sport is

13:20

shitty. Players

13:22

can. Hi, guys.

13:25

Joe Burrow. We're believing that Joe Burrow

13:28

is a quarterback who's got some Tbow

13:30

in him. At the end of games, he just

13:32

knows how to win and you know why because he

13:34

knows just because

13:35

he knows That's what

13:36

you're assigning to Joe Burrow's story.

13:39

Yeah.

13:39

But that offense is incredible too.

13:41

Like, to to singularly assign

13:43

that to Joe Burrow is kind of ridiculous

13:46

because I mean, even even with

13:48

mixing out, Samajai P. Ryan has done

13:50

well running the ball for them. They

13:52

have three really good receivers

13:54

that'll let drop con Boyd suggests all

13:56

evidence of the country. But tee Higgins could probably go

13:58

be a number one somewhere else. Yeah. But he

14:00

just is on this offense that has Jamar

14:02

Chase. That offense in

14:04

totality is really good. And

14:06

Joe Burrow absolutely plays his

14:08

part in it. He's one of the six or seven best

14:10

quarterbacks in the league and you trust him in

14:12

these clutch spots and

14:14

it's sort of a a manufacturing of an

14:16

offensive sort of sprouted out of nothing over the

14:18

last three years. It's crazy

14:20

to watch that it took them

14:22

again thirty years of on the cheap

14:24

not trying to win. The only team in the NFL

14:26

that you can accuse is it was becoming a giant

14:28

business of they're not actually trying. They're good

14:30

with Marvin Lewis, and they don't wanna

14:32

take a next step. They just wanna

14:34

make money, family business, be protect

14:36

the NFL name, as the salaries or

14:38

as the teams go to five billion dollars,

14:40

a cheap football team. But that but the thing

14:42

is is like the bangles is the ultimate

14:44

example of the NFL model

14:46

working. It's it's meant to

14:48

reward bad teams. It's meant to

14:50

draw everyone whether you're Arthur

14:52

Blankew, if he could, would spend a billion dollars

14:54

on his team or Mike Brown who

14:56

had spent nothing on his team if he could, the

14:58

model dictates that

15:00

they eventually get Joe Burrow or Lamar

15:03

Chase. That's the whole point of the sport.

15:05

is that the bad teams get lifted up. The

15:07

the bangle's doing this stuff is not evidence of

15:09

them trying more. It's just getting the

15:11

number one overall pick. in the that Jabbero is

15:13

available and getting the number three overall pick

15:15

in the year that Jabbero is available. There's no

15:17

magic to it. There's no design to it.

15:19

It's just they got lucky. Right. But

15:21

getting Joe Burrow, it's like

15:23

Jacksonville got Trevor Lawrence. He's not one

15:25

of those guys. There are certain guys

15:27

where it doesn't matter. the

15:29

offensive line. Doesn't matter who the

15:31

receivers are. Doesn't matter what you're

15:33

history. since he got there, they

15:35

became good. a guy. We're acting

15:37

like the guy doesn't put up numbers. He's got

15:39

twenty five touchdowns, eight

15:41

receptions, and he's fifth in the NFL,

15:43

like, QB rated. Part that's hard. He's a

15:45

hundred Josh Allen. who's acting like he

15:47

doesn't put up numbers. He puts up numbers. He

15:49

just there there's a there's a huge part to

15:51

play with the Because there's a structure around him. It's

15:53

not just the it factor and Joe Cool

15:55

and knowing how to it under any

15:57

circumstance on the road at home. Doesn't it

15:59

matter? He's also really good.

16:01

Like, he's and you're a lead. They got

16:03

lucky. They were bad. Right

16:05

season. They got Joe Burrow. Oh,

16:07

no offense. It's systemically designed.

16:09

I got that always there, though, man. No. Batard,

16:11

Stugotz, it's not really

16:14

lucky when it's probable that if you

16:16

keep not trying to win, eventually you

16:18

will get Jamal Chase or Joe Burrow because

16:20

you're always picking up there because you're not

16:22

trying to win. They were their grand success

16:24

was Marvin Lewis and Andy Dalton. God

16:26

bless in thirty years. Look how great the bangles

16:28

are. They can win nine games every once in

16:30

a while. No. It's Stegasse's right. It doesn't

16:32

matter. He

16:38

always wins. But if I

16:40

wrong, they got lots of ways constantly.

16:42

Like when you weren't. Right? Well,

16:44

I've

16:44

always been right. But when you're bad

16:46

and you have the number one overall pick,

16:49

sometimes you get Trevor Lawrence.

16:51

Sometimes you get Burrow, and there's a big

16:53

difference between Joe Burrow and Trevor

16:55

Lawrence. I mean, they're they're just

16:57

safer one. Well, my And I'd say Christian

16:59

Kirk is probably not as good even though

17:01

they open the contract. He's tied up to that

17:03

contract. Yeah. No. But not as good as the two guys

17:05

that Burrow has, but Burrow wins

17:07

when he gets SAC nine times on the road

17:09

against Tana Hill, and Stugotz

17:11

believes this is the guy with the magical pixie

17:13

dust, and he'll take him over my

17:16

homes. I

17:16

don't like the Trevor comparison here. What? That's

17:18

that's apples and oranges. Like, the bangles

17:21

weren't as bad as Jacksonville has

17:23

been when they drafted Joe Burrow, like

17:26

organizationally. Yes, they weren't very good, but they

17:28

made the playoffs. The the

17:30

jaguars are completely

17:31

different I mean, it's fair, Lawrence went to Urban Meyer.

17:34

That was a day a disaster, but he is a

17:36

Super Bowl winning coach now. And it's

17:38

like he was great last week, Trevor

17:40

Lawrence. And he was eligible as we. I I

17:42

don't think it's

17:42

a fair comparison to make. That's all. I

17:44

think I

17:44

think, like, you can kind of treat this year as sort

17:46

of Trevor Lawrence's rookie season, but to Scott's

17:49

point, he has not been massively

17:52

impressive, Trevor Lawrence has been okay

17:54

this season. Their offense has looked okay

17:56

at times, and that is sort

17:58

of about the path that you chart rookie quarterback or a

18:00

young quarterback. And at some point,

18:02

you kinda wanna see a bit more from him

18:04

because he was the number one heralded

18:06

traffic for two years in college. I'm

18:08

not saying situation, the team is not important, but

18:10

we're acting like the Bengals are are some

18:12

great organization. Sometimes it's

18:14

Jomarkas Russell. Sometimes It's

18:17

David Carr. Sometimes it's Tim couch,

18:19

sometimes it's Sam Bradford. Right. I'm

18:21

just saying Sometimes it's Sam Bradford. not

18:23

Trevor Lawrence because I'm sensitive But I'm just

18:25

ORROW WAS ALSO LIKE twenty six WHEN YOU GOT

18:28

DRAPPED. ALL I'M ALL I'M SAYING

18:30

IS THAT EVENTUALLY

18:32

YES, YOU MIGHT HIT ON BURO

18:34

OR he might

18:35

be the year that Jack Wilson falls to

18:37

you and you get that wrong as well. But while

18:39

we're sitting here talking about it in

18:42

the analysis, How can we talk that way about Trevor Lawrence

18:44

and ignore that part of the

18:46

Bengel's building of holy

18:48

shit? Those skilled guys are as good as anything I've

18:50

seen is they had to go

18:52

get mixin. They had to go get Higgins.

18:54

They had to go get Lamar Chase,

18:56

and Trevor Lawrence doesn't have any of that.

18:58

He's gotta go pay the Jacksonville tax

19:01

to get to get Christian

19:03

Kirk. So I I you're

19:05

saying that Trevor Lawrence doesn't have the Joe

19:07

Burrow thing. And I yeah. I'd agree with you,

19:09

but haven't we just learned with the way

19:11

Tyree kill and Waddle have made to a totally different

19:13

quarterback that it kind of matters if you have

19:15

two number Burrow. it it

19:17

it matters in the quarterback evaluation.

19:20

if not Christian Kirk and Marvin Jones,

19:22

if it's, you

19:23

know, I've got

19:24

top five talents because the draft brought

19:26

me top five talents. But there are

19:29

and quarterbacks where it just kinda doesn't matter.

19:31

I'm not saying Chase and all that doesn't

19:33

help, but Patrick Mahomes take to

19:35

re kill away. They're

19:38

still good. He's still great. He's one

19:40

of those quarterbacks. He's gonna make any

19:42

team. He's all great. But in the

19:44

Super Bowl when he didn't have an offensive

19:46

line. He lost thirty one nine to break maybe. Like Actually,

19:48

I think I'm not sure about this. Right. But that

19:50

might be the only time I've ever seen Patrick

19:52

Mahomes blown out. Let's see.

19:54

I I so if I remember, it's

19:56

why it up because the only way you beat Kansas

19:58

City is, oh, we beat them by three because Kelsey

20:00

fumbled and we've also got a scan

20:02

in my brain. Higgens and Chase, and it's just

20:04

almost impossible to beat that. I was scanning

20:06

my brain. almost impossible

20:08

to blow that team out. And they played

20:10

one of the more famous games in in

20:12

American sports, a Super Bowl, and they got blown

20:14

out in it and because he's so pissed

20:16

off. He didn't have an offensive line because that

20:18

matters because Burrow got sacked times in

20:20

one of those games and beat Tennessee on the

20:22

road anyway. Also, we It's a really

20:24

small sample. It's happened twice, but

20:26

hosting a Super Bowl appears

20:28

to be, you know, very helpful.

20:31

to a team's chances. But it

20:33

had never happened and then it happened two

20:35

straight years in a row and those teams

20:37

want. Stugats

20:39

is here to bet on the bangles again.

20:42

I am betting on the bangles again. Yeah. I

20:44

won't be fading the bangles against

20:46

the browns. I don't even think I don't

20:48

even think I don't know what it is about the

20:50

Browns. I just think Joe Burrow always

20:52

ends up playing the Browns. when

20:54

it's a good gambling spot for the team he's playing. It's

20:57

been unlucky. But, Mike, you have

20:59

Lamar Jackson now out that

21:01

division. They're waiting for their game behind Kansas City for

21:03

being the best team in that conference. They're they're

21:06

likely gonna win that division. I don't really

21:08

think Huntley is that big

21:10

of a a drop

21:12

off for for Baltimore. God, they did

21:14

nothing, though, yesterday. You're saying?

21:16

But they did enough. He's performed that. He's performed

21:18

that. He's performed that. those

21:20

had their part to play. Can you

21:22

believe what you guys heard of their show

21:24

touch outs again? Can you believe what

21:26

you're watching that Russell Wilson, one

21:28

of the most exciting players any of us have ever seen

21:30

at the position is

21:32

now nine point Russ.

21:35

Is now I'll get you three

21:37

field goals on the road. But

21:40

if you can get to ten points I

21:42

lose. He's Alex Smith. Russell Wilson

21:44

is a caretaker quarterback who

21:47

cannot get to seventeen. And if he

21:49

does in London that one time, then

21:51

says again sheepishly, Bronco

21:55

country. Let's

21:55

try. The Broncos have reached the point where I just judged the other

21:57

team they're playing. I'm looking at the Ravens now.

21:59

Like,

21:59

really? You're playing that game.

22:02

How about bronchos? How about how about this, Chris

22:04

Cody? What the God, it's so good.

22:07

Yeah, bronchos. You

22:07

seem to have a championship event.

22:10

The only thing screwing up the leverage of quarterback's

22:12

things, and I don't know why

22:14

your nine pointed game runs. They gave you

22:16

two hundred fifty million dollars. Could

22:19

you add the end of the game exciting, Russ. But we're so

22:21

bad at quarterback evaluation. That's

22:23

Gino Smith now. They

22:25

traded Bradley Chubb. one

22:27

of their better defensive players and they still

22:29

give up thirteen points a week.

22:31

It's insane, like, how frustrating

22:33

must it be to go to work

22:35

as a Bronco's defensive player. And you see

22:38

what we saw last week. Yeah. Right. You

22:40

see Russell Wilson, like, I I saw

22:42

you in a Super Bowl once. Can

22:44

you do that? Please, like, one week. Just one minute.

22:46

He just looks like he was like, I got you. Like

22:48

like, I'll send him medals. That's right. That's

22:51

gonna work because I'm

22:54

hearing you, brother. I'm looking right at you. I

22:56

got you. It takes all of us. He's

22:59

so regretful. Yes. Good

23:01

passion. I like it. That's He,

23:03

like, punches himself in his face for no reason. I don't

23:05

know. You're right. Good good passion. Good passion. I

23:07

gotta be better. We all gotta be better.

23:10

I'm just shocked

23:13

you may come here. What what is the most

23:15

number of points the Bronco's have scored this season? Is

23:17

it twenty? Is it twenty four? one

23:19

point, if they had scored seventeen points, they'd be they were nine

23:21

and one and, like, yeah, there was one point Yeah. They

23:23

had scored seventeen points. still there. I think

23:25

they're still there at home field if they scored

23:28

eighteen points. From

soccer. WE'LL GET TO MICHAEL. Reporter: A

24:54

SECOND HERE. YES, MY who got his out. You're out now

24:56

that the US is out. Yeah. I mean, what happens if the

24:58

president's for what the regions don't have to say in. I

25:00

mean No more God bless football for us. Yeah.

25:02

I will say. No. to.

25:04

I saw those numbers. You have to keep

25:06

this thing going. I don't know how to keep it

25:09

going. Morally is is

25:11

morally horrent. Is that gonna continue

25:13

even though the the United States

25:15

is out? Yeah. The world companies are saying in

25:17

the world. Yeah. But it means not paying.

25:20

It remains the biggest sporting event. done it?

25:22

Yes. Yes. It still matters.

25:24

I did the I did the Bronco's

25:26

put up twenty three points and they

25:28

lost that game. I'm pretty certain that

25:30

was there. their highest scoring. They

25:32

lost the raiders. You guys wanna

25:34

talk about what happened on Saturday or no?

25:36

Maybe we can talk about it. What are

25:38

you doing? that's all you guys. You become a you become

25:40

a troll. And are you really rooting

25:42

against the US? Oh my god. It was it was

25:44

so glorious. And this is this

25:46

is the best part. the

25:48

ten minutes after they scored that

25:50

goal. Oh, man. I was the best ten minutes in the

25:52

world because I knew everywhere

25:54

around this country. In America, was like we got was all

25:56

gone. Twenty minutes ago. That's all

25:58

we need. I did I did hug my

25:59

Nicaragua and French oil and say

26:02

twenty minutes twenty minutes to get a

26:04

goal. By the way, I

26:06

need to make an an apology, an official

26:08

apology to land in Donovan because

26:10

his analysis at halftime was they'll

26:12

let them score a third goal. And

26:14

I laughed. I cackled.

26:16

I cackled. And yet, That's exactly

26:18

what they did. They

26:19

allowed the third goal of that. He was

26:21

right. Yeah. He was right. A third back post

26:24

goal. Yeah. was you done talking about the

26:26

land in Donovan goal? Was that over?

26:28

What? Like, the the political is

26:30

now the goal we reference. Right?

26:32

No. No. I mean, the political hasn't

26:34

missed Listen to me. I'm trying to learn soccer

26:36

here. I'm asking you guys seriously.

26:39

When when an NFL team has an

26:41

achievement, does that mean that all the other

26:43

achievements are are no longer discussed. Like, we

26:45

no longer discuss John Eloise the

26:47

drive because Payton Manning won a Super Bowl

26:49

or, like, no. Like, it's still a big moment and it

26:51

was a bigger moment because it happened. with essentially the last kick of the

26:53

game against Algeria, whereas politics

26:55

gonna go in the first half. But it feels good to have

26:57

a second goal to reference it. Yeah.

26:59

Of course. You wanna build a And

27:01

also a long tradition of US An

27:03

anonymous go ahead. He was also good to just

27:05

have a There's some trickery around that. I

27:07

don't know. That's trickery. There's a creep out They

27:09

followed up. It was incredibly true to Scott's

27:11

point. Are you doing? To Scott's point,

27:13

he he was saying it was good to have a second goal

27:15

to discuss. I was like, you mean for the tournament?

27:17

Because at the time that was just her second goal in the tournament,

27:19

like a historical goal.

27:21

Right. You could kinda go back and reference. Can I

27:23

give actual serious analysis? No.

27:26

Number zero

27:28

creativity. Zero

27:30

creativity. Everyone's on solicitors.

27:33

You know what? And I'm like,

27:35

The dude stares at the ball the whole he

27:38

never looks up. He has no idea where

27:40

he is. He just

27:40

Dool dool dool. Hey,

27:43

Passback. Oh, none of my teammates are there anymore because I never

27:45

looked up to see where I was and where

27:47

everybody else was. Everybody a pretty good game if you

27:49

look at the the numbers. I'm not looking at

27:51

the numbers. I do agree with you that it

27:53

does seem to be a lack of class, like,

27:55

world, like compared to other teams going forward in

27:57

the final third. What what they

27:59

have is we

27:59

play hard, and then we're really good defensive. I'll

28:02

give them that. I'm like, okay. I was very

28:04

impressed with about the US defense. I would never tweet I was

28:06

impressed by that possession. You guys tell me Mike

28:08

and Chris. I was impressed by their possession in

28:10

the World Cup. It was it was just part

28:12

of the tactics. It

28:14

was to me yeah. Well, I mean, look,

28:16

Holland just played them like a fiddle, but I'm

28:18

just saying in terms of why

28:20

it's not going anywhere is because

28:22

you don't have any talent

28:25

that actually Who's who's

28:26

that They had they had they had two reasons

28:28

that they chose to not play until later in that

28:31

second half. I think Gio Reina and Brendan

28:33

Aronson are also guys that could

28:35

Oh, but they're saying you just started on the Messi of Medford,

28:37

New Jersey. The dumbest nickname ever.

28:39

The Messi of Medford, New Jersey, but

28:41

I think they need a striker. They didn't

28:43

take their best Stryker and Ricardo

28:45

Pepe. I think that there's plenty to build on.

28:47

I thought it was pretty damning that the comments

28:50

from the Netherlands manager

28:52

out there saying the US didn't make any

28:54

adjustments. We kept attacking. If you see those goals one

28:56

of if you see those goals that they

28:58

scored, it's pretty remedial. It's back post. It's the

29:00

same thing that you have to do. Some of these happen on

29:02

set pieces. Plenty of time for you to

29:04

get organized. and there was just nobody

29:06

manning the back post. It's just remedial

29:08

stuff. But Philosic has to bury that

29:10

first ball of the game. Right? He has to.

29:12

Yeah. I miss. Right. I

29:14

miss. Yep. Shoked. That

29:15

one hurt so much. That one

29:17

hurt so much because it looked off sides,

29:19

and you're like, it's fine. He was off sides. And then

29:21

you see the replay and you're like, oh, Damn.

29:23

It's a carbon copy of the Wondo moment from twenty fourteen. Yeah.

29:25

When Chris Wandalowski has that chance because you at

29:27

at the moment, you're thinking, well, he's definitely upside.

29:30

and then he goes in, and he misses, and he's

29:33

like, no. That was he couldn't be Belgium and gone

29:35

to a quarter final shit. Second

29:37

piece

29:37

of World Cup analysis.

29:40

enough already with the bulking

29:43

the pitch penalty kick. Just go and kick

29:45

it. It is so dumb with

29:47

you. It is so and it used to be against the rules that

29:49

change the rule realm. No. It's it's

29:51

still it's still against rules to stop your

29:53

motion, but the players argue that they they're

29:56

still somewhat moving when they do the jump step

29:58

and the jump. jump. And it doesn't seem to

29:59

work by the way. It's

30:01

I I feel like the the the

30:03

score percentage on those is much lower

30:05

than just There's one player who's really good at

30:07

it. Georgino plays for see in

30:09

Italy, although even he has had some They're not in

30:12

the world cup. Peddley is that, frankly,

30:14

could cost them their they're spot the

30:16

world cup. But one person got really good at

30:18

it, so everyone thought they can do it, and it looks

30:20

really stupid. What happened what happened was they

30:22

started barring the keepers coming off their

30:24

line, which was it it's already a situation

30:26

that is stacked against the keeper. And

30:28

now, the longer you wait to kick it, the

30:30

keeper gets nerdy and he realizes, I'm not gonna

30:32

be able to get a jump and time

30:34

this off. And so half the time, like,

30:36

the most recent example, Levandowski

30:38

-- Yeah. -- he got the he

30:40

stopped pretty much. Yep. Hugo Lorese was

30:42

on his hands up in the air. It's like, what do you expect me to

30:44

do when he comes to a stop? And it's all

30:46

just to get the keeper to move so you know where to tuck it

30:48

in. It's incredibly unfair they should back up the pen and

30:50

spot, but more on that later. He will not

30:52

shut up

30:53

about this. Mike Shar is sitting here just

30:55

taking a speed bag to the face

30:57

of Mike Ryan serious

30:59

soccer guy, Chris Whittingham, serious soccer guy,

31:02

Amina Hassan, casual sports

31:05

observer of soccer who weeped casual.

31:07

Who weeped was, sir, I was around when you only

31:09

had two subs a game. None of this. Oh, we

31:11

have five subs. Oh, we had a concussion.

31:13

No. No. We had two subs a game. That

31:15

was it. And

31:16

there thing yesterday. It's like, oh, the

31:18

thirty minute mark. They're tired. They need

31:20

a rally. Tired. Tired of

31:23

the

31:23

thirty minutes in what

31:25

world. It won't World Cup. I mean,

31:27

I mean, you come from a different time.

31:29

Yeah. It listen to me. I we

31:31

don't you've watched the you know, in Brazil,

31:34

my guess, is that you have felt no greater relation than

31:36

the second gold scored in the first

31:38

Brazil game of the tournament.

31:40

I mean, if you greatest goal in the tournament

31:42

is to both team. Yes. Oh, that one on. said

31:44

it's only top twenty. That was

31:46

politics. Mike, no? Mike

31:48

Bryant

31:48

says it's only top twenty.

31:50

At this tournament? No. Top twenty

31:52

all the time. World Cup goals. You

31:54

know what? I I would have to return with

31:57

someone? The yeah. You

31:59

know what? I

31:59

I'm with him. I don't I don't even know if it's top

32:02

twenty. No. That's him, man. could

32:04

have been close. I can't believe Walker

32:06

dried. Okay. I've seen I've seen

32:08

greater bicycle kicks from a twelve year old.

32:10

Okay. in a big car lock. I I will never

32:12

I will never again hear the name walker Zimmerman

32:14

without thinking of him being

32:16

quoted in the daily mail talking about

32:19

the politic penis goal with

32:21

a such Brian Weiner.

32:24

here in America. Mike sure

32:26

is there. Mike, what

32:28

are your general thoughts on the morally

32:30

abhorrent soccer coverage of an

32:33

overzealous Mike Bryant and Chris waiting him. I gotta

32:35

tell you I've

32:35

really enjoyed this discussion you've been

32:37

having, this analysis. I took some

32:40

notes actually. on

32:42

on what you all have been discussing about the

32:44

World Cup. Here's what I have. Tell me if I covered everything

32:46

you've talked about. Stuttgart,

32:49

at one point, said, I'm trying to learn

32:52

soccer. And he was asking

32:54

whether he should now care about politics

32:56

goal over -- Lenny Doderman's goal. -- prior to

32:58

the goal. The way that he the way that he described that was I'm trying

33:00

to learn soccer. Yeah. Also

33:02

very serious analysis

33:04

here, politics nickname is

33:06

dumb. that's important to

33:07

note. Actually, it was Aronson,

33:10

the the messy of mess Oh, Aronson Aronson's

33:12

nickname is devil. The police

33:14

name is dumb because he doesn't pronounce it.

33:17

Politik. Politik joked was another piece

33:19

of analysis. Yep. This hand,

33:21

finally, I what I wrote down here is we

33:23

should get kick penalties faster.

33:25

Did I

33:25

pretty much cover what you guys Yeah.

33:28

That's it. And this is what happens

33:30

when the World Cup appears four years every four

33:32

years to god's immediately starts

33:35

accusing people of choking.

33:38

Well, countries with countries and

33:40

stakes on the line. I mean, Woody and

33:42

Mike are agreeing. You get to that stage.

33:44

You're there. You've been waiting eight years for this.

33:46

You're the best player we have. Berry

33:48

that goal of the game. I mean,

33:50

I just love I just love that it was

33:52

Which

33:53

goal should I care about?

33:55

Landon Donovan's goal or a politics goal is if

33:57

it's this is a I only have room for one, and

33:59

you've got

33:59

room for one for all the carers. Wait

34:02

a minute. There you go. I'm gonna make

34:04

you pick a one. Right? If there is You pick one

34:06

one. Get white right in. Yeah. Decided.

34:08

about that. Thank you.

34:09

Don't you wanna be a great American gold? Do you wanna be a soccer country or not to give me

34:11

goals to choose from the

34:13

Donovan one. The Donovan one was

34:15

more important. There.

34:18

Why? That

34:18

that's that's insane. What are you talking about? It

34:20

was Why are you in the game about like one goal?

34:22

We that the whole

34:23

point of view has mentioned it too. brandy

34:26

chestains. through y'all. Big bite.

34:28

Oh, then I'll go have

34:30

you one back against Germany then.

34:32

I'm not I'm not big on it if you scored

34:34

in a shootout. Like, I'm not I'm not

34:36

as impressed. I'm sorry. I agree. It's

34:39

gotta be like It's gotta feel

34:41

the play. Right. Exactly. Or a PK like

34:43

in the middle of the game, but don't don't give

34:45

me a shout out, kinda like That's why I can't

34:47

be What the world doesn't the world doesn't matter like One

34:49

the world cup. It won the entire

34:52

thing. I'll go from car I'll go for Carly Lloyd for the

34:54

halfway line then. against Japan in the

34:56

final. There you go. There's a seminal moment

34:58

that one we lost him. Three calls and Three

35:00

calls out twenty four minutes, though.

35:02

Regardless took god's is saying he's got room

35:04

for one. And,

35:05

frankly, if he's being honest and

35:08

didn't see a blind spot there, it would have been

35:10

one male goal, American

35:12

goal. It's all he's got

35:14

room for. Yeah. In his mind, it's the it's the way soccer

35:16

look, Stogats' analysis has

35:18

been great and winning today. Alabama

35:21

is great. I know it to be so. Bleep

35:24

off. Yep. Argu with me, I dare

35:26

you. Mhmm. Joe Burrow. Joe

35:28

Burrow is cool. That better than mine. take

35:30

him over everybody. Go ahead. Tell me today

35:32

of all day, you take Patrick Mahomes over

35:34

Joel. I will He's

35:36

won the last three against my homes even though the last

35:39

one was because Kelsey Fumble never mind

35:41

about that. Uh-huh. He's the coolest and

35:43

he wins football games. And

35:45

now

35:45

that he presents, see you. Berry

35:48

that goal. I've got room for only

35:50

one American goal. Give me

35:52

my moment. I'm just saying four years from now, next men's

35:54

world cup. Okay? We don't have to

35:56

talk about the Land and Donovan goal anymore.

35:58

We could talk about Pulex's

35:59

Pulex's Pulex's

36:02

goal. I mean, that's I mean, that's what we'll do. And I don't want

36:04

to think that's that's progress. I do.

36:06

We have a new goal to talk. I mean, can

36:09

we say this I mean has been correcting us at every turn here.

36:11

He's we're we're all pronouncing Qatar

36:14

incorrectly. Only winning him did him the

36:16

courtesy for a brief time to pronounce

36:18

it correctly.

36:20

And if you were here every day, I mean would be correcting us all the time. What

36:22

is the correct pronunciation of Qatar,

36:24

which I pronounce Qatar, which

36:26

is also not right? It's not right, but

36:29

it's closer to what it is with his cut off. Winning him, tried that

36:31

for a

36:31

day, got tired of it after seven months. a

36:34

big boy that you guys were tired

36:36

of me. getting it for it.

36:38

They were. We weren't. But I mean, this is One of those

36:40

keep it moving moments for me. It's just okay.

36:42

Everyone's calling it Connor. guitar.

36:46

So just keep calling it guitar.

36:48

Except if

36:48

you want to honor it the same way, though,

36:50

that you honor the name of Polish, which

36:52

I've pronounced seven different ways since this

36:54

tournament started. and since you began the campaign to make

36:57

him America's greatest soccer hope because you

36:59

interviewed him more than anybody. And you and

37:01

when his penis scored an American

37:03

goal, you guys were moved.

37:04

I was moved because it was

37:06

America.

37:06

And and, I mean, and and it's

37:09

anti

37:09

American. It's what you guys are -- Oh.

37:11

-- whoa. He is. He is and

37:21

you're celebrating -- You have. -- notes that you're celebrating the US

37:23

failing. You're constantly anti America. You don't

37:25

even hide it. Yeah.

37:28

I'm I'm am not anti American publicly anti American. I'm

37:30

not that you should be ashamed of. Your

37:32

anti your anti colonial power, I

37:34

would say.

37:36

Oh, yeah. And yeah. That's the anti anti England,

37:38

anti France, like, if -- Well,

37:40

not anti England or not. --

37:42

because France is kind of, like, this is

37:45

this is the greatest

37:46

dream team of, like, African immigrants in

37:48

the world. Like, oh, you give give me

37:50

the best of the continent and then give

37:53

them French citizenship. and then let's go to work. So I'm not anti

37:55

friends, but I won't I won't say I'm rooting for

37:57

friends, but it's one of those teams like, I like and

37:59

I respect. I don't respect

38:01

England. I don't respect them at all. You don't respect the

38:03

United States either way. It's never a

38:06

reason. I was thinking that because they talk

38:08

so much. but they never had

38:10

to do any they they walk around with

38:12

this feeling of self entitlement, like,

38:14

oh, we're the greatest we invented

38:16

the sport. but you're really not that good. Right? I don't respect

38:18

the US because you're just not

38:19

good. That's how it is. And you're anti and

38:21

you're anti America. Not anti America. I

38:23

love this country. who I

38:25

love

38:25

this country. We're not that good. They made it to the European

38:28

final and and who England

38:30

made it to the European final and the England

38:33

their talent. England like they invented soccer. Do me a favor. What a

38:35

world cup? I mean, what's the last time they

38:37

won one? Nineteen sixty six. Nineteen sixty

38:39

six. Nineteen sixty six.

38:42

invented soccer. you think you win more? Too got me. Nineteen sixty six. I

38:44

mean, nineteen sixty six. And the only reason

38:46

they won was because of a bullshit gold that didn't go

38:48

in. It

38:50

hit the crossbar went down and they they didn't have VAR back

38:52

then. It is a trash country. It

38:54

is a trash country.

38:56

I I don't wanna hear from them. They are

38:58

the New

39:00

York Knicks. Only one in seventy whatever. Who gives us

39:02

shit? Back to and and the thing wasn't even in

39:04

color back then. We're watching the stuff

39:06

in

39:06

black and white. Right. Sure.

39:08

I want you to know that you saw

39:10

in there an an honest moment there, you were delighted by

39:14

Stugotz, delighted

39:16

I don't think Stuttgart knows why you were so delighted. What made you

39:18

so happy there? Oh, the I

39:20

what

39:20

I was laughing at was him

39:24

saying they act like they invented soccer. Mhmm. And they actually

39:26

did. Right. But I don't I don't know what you're saying.

39:28

I I might have missed I might have missed

39:30

something that's

39:31

still got Stugotz. No.

39:34

No. It is what you were laughing at, and the reason I'm finding

39:36

it funny is because you're a comedy

39:38

writer who writes very well and you

39:40

don't realize that he

39:42

didn't realize that he

39:44

said that with no sense of irony.

39:46

They act like the invented soccer

39:48

is how you would write that saying,

39:50

well, but they did. Mhmm. Yeah.

39:52

That's great. You would think they would win more. Right?

39:54

If they invented it? I mean, that's usually Batard work.

39:56

No. The thing here's the thing about England.

39:58

Okay. A team

39:59

I love. they

40:01

first of all, they have

40:03

a a fair number of African immigrants

40:05

on their team as well. I should mention,

40:07

including soccer who scored yesterday, a

40:09

great goal. and who's place

40:10

for Arsenal. Also,

40:12

their as a nation,

40:14

their size, they tend to

40:16

over perform in international tournaments. There's

40:19

a lot of people who live there. They over performed

40:22

compared to nations like friends, why are

40:24

we sharing your head? Germany has a

40:26

hundred and thirty million people or

40:28

something. All of Great Britain

40:30

has, like, I don't know, I don't know the

40:32

exact number, but far fewer

40:34

people, and they given

40:36

the size of their population, they

40:38

tend to perform as well or slightly better than

40:40

the data would suggest that they do.

40:42

So, yes, you're right. They haven't won since nineteen

40:44

sixty six.

40:46

They've also choked a fair amount, including Beckham getting red

40:48

carded against Argentina in the

40:50

World Cup twenty years ago, and

40:53

other

40:53

famous moments.

40:54

famous moment but But Generally

40:56

speaking, they tend to over perform. They're not supposed to

40:58

win. They're not that big a nation. They're not that

41:00

big a population size. What's that thing

41:02

called like at the presidential debates? spin

41:06

alley? Or Spin

41:07

Zone. Spin Zone. That's where I hear

41:09

you. Oh, actually, they're they're honestly doing better than

41:11

than they Man, get out of

41:13

here. You guys keep sixty million views. No.

41:15

I agree with you. I mean, they're a giant footballing nation with giant

41:17

football institutions. The whole country is designed. The whole

41:19

country is designed to produce good footballers. That's

41:21

the best pros

41:24

pro league in the world. In the world. And now and now of a

41:26

sudden, absolutely. And and by the way, in the

41:28

last six years, they have considerably improved.

41:32

They used to they used to be a nation of chokers. They are no longer. They

41:34

comfortably win World Cup knockout round games

41:36

like they did yesterday Batard they

41:39

are just a good team that has kind of gotten out

41:41

of its own way. That was all England needed

41:43

to just get out of your own way and they do

41:45

know. Also have the worst fans in

41:48

the world. Well,

41:48

it's the worst fans of the war. These this is this is the

41:50

the Cleveland thing. Like, you don't want these

41:52

people to win. You don't. They don't deserve

41:54

it. They deserve to be miserable.

41:57

and always be like just be tantalized a little bit, but

42:00

then have it pulled away from them. So can you

42:02

guys give me a lovable team and a

42:04

fan base to to get behind for the

42:06

remainder of the year. possible way to do

42:08

this. He's farming out his allegiance as the

42:10

president. He's trying to learn about his arms

42:12

and learn about it. You can

42:14

try my you saw Japan's going on right now.

42:16

Right? Oh, Japan. Oh, there's a chance

42:18

right here. No. Is that my team, Mike? Is that what

42:20

you're saying? No. I shouldn't be

42:22

a team. You should pick Brazil if you want a winner. Yeah. I'm about to say I

42:24

don't care about a winner. I want a lovable

42:28

team. Japan and

42:30

South Korea. Honestly, I would have said

42:32

Senegal before yesterday. Senegal was very

42:34

lovable too, you know. Saudi Omane man if he

42:36

had played, though. Even if they had a dress

42:38

okay? Oh, man. The dutch are

42:40

not lovable? They're not

42:40

You know? How about that? I don't I don't

42:43

hate the Dutch. I don't know if their

42:45

level. Messi winning isn't I

42:48

got it. Okay. Very good. Alright. I know

42:50

Argentina. There are more

42:52

I know I know you're a hater. I know you're

42:54

a hater, I mean, but he he's got some

42:56

pretty inspiring players. Come on. How Could you

42:58

not want Mincey to win a World Cup? How can you

43:01

Because in Brazil, he's a Brazil man.

43:04

He's talking because I mean, you are right that I

43:06

mean, allegiance is again. He

43:08

wept when they lost seven to one in a

43:10

World Cup final

43:12

against Germany. and he and he wept because he thought

43:14

when they made it from five nothing to

43:16

five one that he was a fool

43:18

for thinking they would come back because

43:20

they are

43:22

beautiful Brazil, the Avengers of the game, not England. That's

43:24

it. made it beautiful. That was that

43:26

was why I get so much joy out

43:28

of the US scoring that one goal

43:31

and watching knowing all of these dumb asses here, like,

43:33

oh, here we go, guys. I was like, oh,

43:36

because I know that feeling where you deluge

43:38

yourself, where you're

43:40

already sure this thing is over. And then that brief moment in

43:42

time where you deluge yourself, like, maybe. And

43:44

then it's like, no. No. No. No. It

43:46

was just It

43:48

existed just to slap it along with a

43:50

hodgey right. He's in behind, but the

43:52

sweeper keeper comes and takes care of it. No.

43:54

What no. But I'm not even wrong. What a

43:56

meme is saying to you is when

43:58

you really care, when you've got the soccer bona fides in your bones and your parents

44:00

have wept with

44:02

these games

44:04

that you guys need to carry

44:06

with you for years in order

44:08

to

44:08

have the room in Stuttgart's brain for one

44:10

goal and one goal only. The

44:14

pain

44:15

of I hoped in that

44:18

moment that the US would be the

44:20

thing I think it is, and

44:21

I'm a piece of shit forever believing

44:24

that I'm I'm just I am

44:26

an asshole. I am

44:28

for having moment moment

44:30

moment moment

44:32

of patriotic identity. What an asshole I

44:34

am because I didn't realize, oh, they're better at

44:36

this than we are, and they're gonna put three in

44:39

the net. Dan, that's the joy of being a US

44:41

soccer fan. Is that in

44:42

of the sports that we've invented and

44:44

the sports that we participate in

44:47

in the Olympics, It doesn't require much effort for the US to be

44:49

good at sports. But in this sport,

44:52

it is a herculean

44:54

effort. You are so far

44:56

away. Your generations away -- Yeah. --

44:58

for being as good, as as

45:00

Brazil, as Argentina, as

45:02

France, as Spain, as England. they this in

45:04

their blood. This is what they do. And we're

45:06

trying to manufacture

45:08

some shit in twenty five years.

45:10

we're nowhere near them. Yeah. But I will see it in four years. But it's

45:13

Valiant in our failure. Failure

45:15

is Valiant. And that

45:21

It

45:25

is a start of the day. Start

45:27

of the day. Start

45:30

of the day. Start of the dead year. Start

45:32

of the

45:34

day. It is the start of the day. Start

45:36

of the day. Start of the day.

45:38

It is the start of the

45:40

day. Start of the day. Start

45:43

of the day. It is the start

45:45

of the

45:46

day. The

45:52

start of the

45:57

day

45:57

is

45:59

presented by Zip recruiter, ZipRecruiter,

46:02

the smartest way to

46:05

hire.

46:06

Jose Alvarado

46:09

of the Pelicans. little spark plug that guy. Mhmm.

46:11

Eight three pointers in the game against the nuggets

46:14

last night. Eight three

46:16

pointers. It's

46:18

very rare. folks

46:18

if someone hits eight three pointers in a game, unless

46:20

you're

46:20

Steph Curry, who also had eight

46:23

in a game this weekend on Saturday

46:25

against the Rockets. The seventieth

46:28

time in his career, he's had

46:30

eight or more three pointers in a

46:32

game. Not only is that obviously the

46:35

most ever, Steph curry has more games with eight

46:37

three pointers, then Damian

46:39

Lillard, James

46:40

james harden Harden,

46:41

Clay Thompson, Trey Young,

46:44

come on. And Jose

46:46

Alvarado, come on.

46:48

To to your point of seeing greatness when

46:50

you're in the middle of it and acknowledging it

46:52

is so one of the marvels of that stat is just, oh my

46:54

god, this guy is by leaps and bounds

46:56

better at this without argument than anyone who

46:59

has ever shot a basketball. That's

47:02

for me what watching Lionel Messi is like at the World Cup, where you just

47:04

sort of watch and go, everyone is trying to

47:06

be the very best at the world of this and

47:09

he is an order of mag tune

47:11

better than everyone on this video. No. No. No.

47:13

No. He's a cheat code. He's a complete cheat

47:15

code, that guy. Order of

47:18

magnitude. IIA friend of mine who knows a

47:20

lot more about soccer than I do,

47:22

said I don't even think the

47:23

team is very good. They just

47:25

have a cheat code. They

47:27

just have messy, and the the rest of them are fine.

47:29

If he played for Spain, he'd be the greatest

47:31

of any region ever. If he just played with And

47:33

they would have they would have won five straight world

47:36

cuffs. If he'd just chosen Spain. He says, all he

47:38

had to chew I mean, could have. He just didn't

47:40

do that. It's an epic failure. See

47:42

you later, Mike Toker. Wait. Before Mike,

47:44

before you leave, I think we bury the

47:46

lead here today because Mike loves baseball,

47:48

and I for one would like to give a

47:50

standing ovation to the crime

47:52

dog, Fred McGriff, for finalizing it

47:54

to his rightful place. Gooper

47:56

tab, the baseball hall of fame.

47:58

Thank you

47:59

very much. Bundling

48:05

car and renters insurance with

48:06

GEICO is so easy. Your neighbors

48:09

are probably already doing

48:12

it. So why not ask? Just say, hey, did you get your hair

48:14

cut? It looks cool. Also, have you saved

48:16

even more about bundling with GEICO? Or maybe

48:20

Hey, did you get your haircut? It looks weird. Not weird.

48:22

Cool. Anyway, have you bundled

48:24

with GEICO? Or try. Hey. Did

48:26

you get your haircut? It doesn't look

48:28

weird at

48:30

all. any who have you saved by bundling with, hey, easy with

48:32

that rate. Bundling is easy with GEICO.

48:34

Just ask your neighbors.
