Welcome to the Bart Winkler Show 888. 710-4-ISN-888 710-4476 I always when I listen to the other shows I always listen to See if anyone says the number differently. Ryder hit him with a triple eight today. I think I caught some of every show on the station today.

Because it was a messed up day. I took my keys off of my... I took my house keys off of my key chain to go for a walk yesterday because I couldn't find the spare keys. And then I took my kid to camp this morning, so my car worked. But then I got home, I didn't have my keys, so I had to go to my brother's house to get my keys.

That's why I was in the car listening to all the fine programs on the Infinity Sports Network. Not that I don't always tell my smart speaker and just have it as background noise anyway. But Ryder hit him with the 888. 888. And I didn't hate it. 888-710-4476. Best high school, not high school moment, best moment. Best sports moment. Could be high school. Could be college. Could have been tonight.

Could have been when you were a kid. Some of the moments people are calling with are actually bad. There's nothing good you can pull from. It's listener appreciation week, so we just ask you questions about yourself.

And make sure that we say thank you for listening to the show. That is a sincere thing. That is sincere. And for the most part, when you guys do reach out, it feels like you're reaching out from a... place of positivity every cup you know i'll get the i'll get the you suck die as much as the next guy but it's very encouraging um then we thank you because if not then Carlos and I are just doing this for no audience at all, except for our own bemusement. And I have that. That's called my podcast.

This, people actually seem to listen to. That's good. All right. Best sports moment that you've ever had in your life. Dino is in.

Alabama. Hit me, Dino. Hi. Hi. Thanks for taking my call. First time caller. Hey, good to have you here. All right. Thanks for the bell. Thank you. All right. So great sports moment of when I was. When I was a kid, like you were talking about, it was a soccer game. And so I was born in Los Angeles. So I was going to third grade, but I was in a military academy.

I really wasn't part of the game, the soccer game, until like late in the game. So basically what happened was I guess the goalie, like you said, you're a goalie, the goalie got hurt. And, I mean, so I really wasn't on the team, but as long as you were a student, you could play. So the coach didn't really have anybody else, so he said, hey, Dino, I need you to play goalie. So, all right, so I got in there, right?

So the school had never beaten this team before. They were like 0-20, 0-30. Never beaten this team at this other school at soccer. So anyway, so I go in there, and we're up ahead, 1-0, and it's late in the game. And so anyway, they come down there, and they try to score. And I freaking saved. I made the save. I got the wind knocked out of me right in the solar plexus. But I held on to it, and everybody mobbed me, and we finally beat this other school. And it was pretty, pretty good.

Everybody was going crazy. Did you use this to parlay this into a long career as a goalie, or was this one and done? No, it was just a one-time thing. I didn't expect it. Coach said, come on, maybe we need someone. Get in there. And made the save, and everybody was going crazy. They finally beat the school. I like that. That's good stuff. How long ago was that? This was a shoot at 69.

I was in third grade. Oh, man. But, yeah. So, yeah, it was fun. I guess I will. Let's see what else. Really quick, I did have a hole-in-one that was very ugly, but it went to hole. And let's see, my best bowling game was a 258. I had eight strikes in a row. And then I freaking, I didn't, sorry, I didn't. What was ugly about a hole in one? No, it was just I didn't hit it great.

But it bounced before the green, and you went up there and went to the hole. But it wasn't a great shot, but it went to the hole. All right, Dino. Hey, appreciate the call. Good to talk to you. Had me scared a couple of times on that one. Hovering over the dump button. Oh, I was. Because I actually, I told him over before I screened him, I was just like, hey, let's keep it PG because, you know, he'll drop something with me.

And you can get away with it with me, but when I hear that you're comfortable with me, you may be too comfortable on air. So best believe that finger was hovering like the sword of Damocles. Larry's in Alabama. Larry.

Hey, Bart. Hey, Larry. I'm a door dasher here in Alabama, and you guys are my go-to for most of my night. So I appreciate you being on. Well, thanks for having us on. How are the tips tonight, Larry? They're doing good. They're doing real good. They're my best and my worst sports moments on back-to-back day. Oh.

Right before my senior year, every year in Huntsville, they have like an opening tournament for high school golf. And all the high school, all five city schools and some county schools are there. There's like 80 golfers. And the first day I got out and shoot like a 65, like everything I hit turned to gold. Wow. Yeah, I just couldn't, you know, I couldn't do anything wrong. And like, I mean...

I'm a medalist by like five or six strokes after the first day. And so overnight, I get the big head, and I go out the next day, and I don't know, I probably shot 110 or something. Oh. It was so bad. I lost like every golf ball I had in my bag and all but one. And every golf ball that...

It was worth anything in my partner's bag. And, like, digging around the bottom, I found a bag that had been in my trunk for too long and kind of too hot in Alabama's sun. It was kind of like egg-shaped. And that's what I finished the tournament with. Yeah. You couldn't get a different ball? I was out of ball. Me and the guy from my school were both obviously out of ball. You couldn't borrow one? Huh? Nobody had one around? Oh, yeah, I suppose. I suppose.

They really weren't interested in winning any golf balls. But I get to the 18th. I get to the 18th ring. and my coach is there, and he doesn't know how bad I'm playing. He's got a big smile because I was killing it. And I get up there, and I got a putt, and he's looking at me strange because I'm aiming, like, way away from where the line should be.

But I've learned to putt this egg-shaped ball, and it kind of went up and then kind of wobbled and wobbled and wobbled and wobbled and went in the hole. And the coach was like, give me that. He was shocked because he picked up the ball and goes. He was not happy with me. Larry, good story. Stay safe out there tonight. Thanks, Mark. Thanks, Carlos. Y'all have a good one. Yeah, Larry. Nobody would give him a ball? Isn't golf supposed to be the game of etiquette?

Sportsmanship? How did that go with an egg-shaped ball? I hope he kept it. Brandon's in Seattle, Brandon. Oh, what's happening, Bart? What's up? Big fan of the show. Yeah, well, I mean... I don't know if I'm really supposed to talk about myself like this, but yeah. No, we're glazing up ourselves tonight. I mean, I've robbed home runs and hit.

Long home runs. I mean, you know, I can tell you my, I think the greatest sound in sports is actually the gasp of the crowd when they've seen you do something that they. didn't think was possible yeah i can't say i ever heard that one some people have heard that um you'll you'll hear it you know when you when you watch you know

Some sports program on television. Oh, I can't say that I've ever, like, done anything to garner that emotion. Well, you're still a young cat. You know, you just get out there and do something. You never know.

I'm 41. Well, I'm older than you. I've been doing this a long time. Okay, okay. But I would say probably the best thing I... ever have done as far as a sports accomplishment is just playing alongside people and inspiring them to want to keep coming out and playing more and more and being less tied to the corrupt.

outside world that it's just really a big distraction oh wow now okay i like it brandon i like where we're going with this yeah Yeah, I think that just seeing the joy in people, seeing them accomplish things that they didn't think they could do, and then getting them to feel like they can do it is the best thing that I can do. as far as a sports accomplishment. Wow. Hey, I like that, Brandon. Thanks for the call. Yep. Anytime, Bart. We should end on that one. That's kind of just like...

There was a similar comment like that. I'm trying to find it on the Facebook page. Bart Winkler Show Facebook. Somebody had commented. Oh gosh, where is it? There's guys, there's just so many comments here. It's like, uh, Patrick says I was part of a men's soccer team. Our team went into the. College Hall of Fame. My accomplishment in soccer were team-based. Playing with amazing players made me better. I'm like, all right, guys. Let's boost. Come on. Brag.

Say you did something good. Matt, I was playing high school ball, laid down a bunt, suicide squeeze. I got so nervous when my coach gave the sign. I was afraid I would pop it up. Got it down. We scored the winning run. Ed says, I once went to a baseball game where I sat fairly isolated. Within the left field bleachers, it was an early season weeknight game. Home run came to us. Jumbotron zoomed in on us. SportsCenter used the same footage the next day during the MLB recaps.

I was on all day. I was on my parents' old DVR, but then it got deleted. Josh says, I won a national chess tournament in high school. And then for 25 years, I've been trying to convince the world that chess is actually a sport. That's really funny. That is a good one. That is a good one. Jeff says 1992 Reedsburg basketball camp, Dr. Dunk. That sounds sweet. Matt's got a hole in one. Okay. That's good.

Let's get to Al in Arizona. Al. Hey, what's up, Bart? Hey, Al. How are you? Good. You? Good. I was actually going to call up and ask about what's Adrian Griffin, but... Carlos, what are you guys talking about? So I would say it's equal to situations where I was playing 12-inch softball. One of them was a game.

It was taking us to the championship, and it was bases loaded. We were down by one, and I got a hit to win the game. We went to the championship, so that was one accomplishment. It was rare for me. And then another one, a friend of mine was in the league, and they needed to fill in. So, yeah, sure, I'll help you out because that game was important for them to get to maybe the finals or the semis or something. And I think I had...

I had a home run, a triple, a double, and like 12 RBIs. It was by far the best game I ever had in my life. He's like, thanks for coming and playing. I'm telling you, this is so far beyond what I've ever done, but thank you for inviting me. It was a great experience. It was. It was like, wow, I can't believe I just did that. And you never got the call back? The next game, they had me in the next game, but I didn't play as well in the next game. Oh, and then they're like, okay. All right.

I didn't want to bring that up. But, yeah, no, the next game I didn't play as well, but it was fine. It was just a good experience to even help them out to get to the final, you know? Well, that's all right. Yeah. Yep, yep. All right, Al. What's your best sport?

part uh i had a couple i had um there was one night at the bar i was really good at shuffleboard One time, the best I've ever done bowling is when I brought a girl to bowling, and everyone thought I would suck because of the girl, and I bowled a 218, which I know is probably low around these parts, but it's my best, and I felt good.

Then I talked about some... I never played. I played soccer. Oh, okay. I like to play hockey. All right, hey, listen. If you're interested, Al, thanks for the call. The... Longer story of those stories can be found at the beginning of our number three on the podcast or the Odyssey Rewind feature on the Odyssey app.

Bert is in Baltimore. A couple more and we'll do guess what they said. Bert. What's up, gentlemen? How you doing? Yo, yo. I can brag with the best of them. That's what I need. So. You ever hear of a guy by the name of Monte Williams? The basketball coach? Yep, and obviously former player. So 400 years ago in 1989. My high school team and their high school team were both nationally ranked in one and two in our region.

We had something called game days where the games would be like 1 o'clock during school and everyone in the school would come to a game. It was one game like that for every sport. But you could, unless you cut... school you had to go to the game so the most people I'd ever played in front of long story short tie game few seconds left Monty misses a jumper with about two seconds left

Our power forward gets it. He's actually shot an air ball, so he catches it right underneath the bucket. I'm the point guard, so I shoot out to the hash mark. and take the pass with one second left, three-quarter court, one dribble, old Bobby Dandridge, one knee. Can the crap out of that thing. The place goes berserk. Best part is it was on our local city cable network. So watching it 400 times afterward, you hear everyone in the school cursing up, you know, talk about the crowd gasping.

Yeah. But that paled in comparison to, as a parent, my daughter's playing Division I soccer now, but her senior year, same deal, number one versus number two, played center attack. packing mid because she was always a distributor. You'll know in about 12 years how many of the same lessons you try to teach your kid that they dead ear you or you think they're dead ear you because they never once...

do what you repeat to them over and over and over. They're down 1-0 on the road, one playing at two, first game of the year, senior year. I told her... to make the run to the far post regardless whether you think you're going to get the ball ever. She finally makes a run to the far post with their strikers on a breakaway. The striker actually passes the ball. She scores with 30 seconds to send it into overtime. The other thing I tried to beat into her head was to follow every shot.

She played with a striker who never passed the ball. So in overtime, 1-1, they're playing golden goal. She's wide open. The striker takes a terrible shot. She actually crashes to the goal. The goalie, I'm getting goosebumps and my forearm hairs are standing up right now. It was normally two years ago. She crashes. The goalie bobbles the ball. She taps it in. Golden goal. Game over. 2-1 winner. Man, that's awesome, Bert. That was a great story.

I love Dad Corner, and I love hearing you talk about the little guy, especially what a little sports junkie he's becoming. Yeah, well, I appreciate that. Yes, sir. Thanks for the call, Bert. Um, yeah. When you see your kid play then, and then they do something like I was coaching mine in soccer.

told this story, but then he had the other team was short players. So we let them borrow some. And I said, you got to go do it, buddy. You're doing me a favor. And then he had his best, his best game of the year. He scored on a breakaway against my team and enough with the Burt. Yeah. All right. We're going to do Guess What They Said. You can still chime in on Facebook. A lot of people getting into some good conversations.

On that one, we will do tomorrow night best and worst stadium you've ever been to or anything off of that. Like, this was disappointing. This was better than I thought it would be. And we'll continue to do questions like this throughout the week. Take a quick break. Guess what they said. When we come back, it is the Bart Winkler Show.

It's the audio of the day you need. Transcript you don't. I'm not laughing about it. You think this is funny. I take this serious. I'm not. Real serious. I put my heart and soul into this every single week. The contestants are ready. You play to win the game.

The Bart Winkler Show proudly presents Guess What They Said. Listen, we're talking about practice. Not a game, not a game, not a game. We're talking about practice. Here is tonight's host, Carlos with a K. I'm a man. I'm 40. In about a week, that's going to be true. Jeez. Seven days and I'll be on the 40 Club. Guess what they said.

Every Mondays and Friday nights here on the Bart Winkler Show. On Mondays, we get you the audio of the day slash weekend. And Bart will attempt to guess what they said. Typically, these are post-game, pre-game. These are interesting comments across the sports world. I will make these as generic as possible in terms of their description. And Bart Winkler will do his best to put on the BS translator.

And accurately, guess what they said. We will play five cuts. We will be a winner. There will be a loser. The loser sometimes is Bart, but the winner is always you, especially on Listener Appreciation Week.

Nothing special about this Guess What They Said. No, it's still Guess What They Said. And we start Guess What They Said, Bart. Let's start with Cooper Flagg. He is the number one overall pick for the Dallas Mavericks. He made his NBA Summer League debut a couple of nights ago.

See the big summer league news tonight. Bronny James, 17 points. How about it? How about it? In fact, it was Cooper Flagg versus Bronny James in that first game of the Mavericks and the Lakers where Cooper Flagg made his NBA. professional debut. So good for everybody involved, but obviously Cooper Flagg has got the pressure of a franchise on his shoulders being a number one overall pick. So I want you to guess what he said on dealing with the hype.

of being a number one overall pick. This one is 15 seconds long. Guess what Cooper Flagg had to say? You just try to not let it affect you. You know, there's a lot of people that... I want to see you play, but you just got to put yourself in good situations and just be with the guys and just not really think about it. You're just trying to go out there and play basketball at the end of the day is all we're trying to do is play basketball. The expectations are fun, but...

Just got to stay focused on the task at hand. I think just trusting myself. You know, I've been through all this before. You know, same thing going into college, same expectations, same people talking about you. So just trusting the work, trusting, you know, all those hours. Just knowing what I can do and just getting to the same stuff that I've been doing. And that's what we call in a business a layup. Typically the first cuts of Guess What They Said.

are meant to ease Bart into the game. You are 1-0 to start this edition of Guess What They Said. All right, let's go to a little bit of college football here. Here is Brian Kelly. Brian Kelly, you might know him. He's had a couple of stops in college. He was the former head coach for LSU where he had a couple of struggles in terms of starting with a good...

Good lead, usually going 0-3 in opening games. He also coached Notre Dame before. So I want you to guess what Notre Dame, I want you to guess what LSU head coach Brian Kelly had to say on how important it is. to perform well in the opening game of a season. Now, this one is 21 seconds long. The LSU will be facing the Clemson Tigers in week one of the college football season for them. Guess what Brian Kelly had to say?

Could you just kind of set that one up again for me, please? Sure. I bet you were caught looking at your mentions. No, I came across something about... AI. Oh, that's your favorite subject. I would love to know about that during the break. Brian Kelly, head coach LSU. Back when he was coaching at Notre Dame, he traditionally got off to a slow start.

0-3 in a couple of opening games that he had there with the Fighting Irish. So I want you to guess on how important it is to perform well at the opening game of the season. Again, LSU will be playing Clemson.

Big game right off the gates for college football playoffs. Guess what Brian Kelly had to say? Actually, it was looking at pictures of Eve. Oh, yeah. From Superman? Jimmy Olsen could never. You know, it's very important. You want to make sure that you get your season started off right. We know what kind of team we're going to be playing. But it's the excitement of that week one. It's a great night.

To be a Tiger. And you got to come out there because it's college football. A lot of people are losing these week one games. Don't rebound. You got to get them starting the right track. Just to get all the work. We did that summer. We don't got a lot of time. We're going to get that work in. I'm here with my family. We open up with a great program in Clemson. We needed to do some things differently this year, and that is embrace this opener and embracing it in a manner that this is a big game.

And it's a tangible goal for our football team to want to be 1-0. We want to be ready for this football game. All right. So you got the meat and potatoes correct, but I'm still going to give you the buzzer. Because your accent was just as bad as Brian Kelly forcing a Southern accent as well. I don't know too much about that. I think a good simple boy reckon you might give me that point there, man. You sound like Boomhauer from King of the Hell. So we're not going to do that.

I can dock you 20 points, but it doesn't really work like that. So we're just going to go one and one. All right, let's go to the Home Run Derby. Let's go baseball the whole way here. I want you to guess what Jazz Chisholm had to say on his Home Run Derby performance now. He didn't do all that well. I believe, if I'm accurate, three home runs was the finer counter for his appearance. That's not what you want. Again, there was one point in the home run derby.

Where while he's trying to do his thing, the camera pans to Aaron Judge and Carlos Rodon and the other Yankee All-Stars and they're like clowning them. They're like laughing like, ugh, glad that's not us. Not exactly what you want for Jazz, but, you know, this isn't an easy event. You know, you don't just come off of the street and, you know, try to change your entire approach. So I want you to guess what he had to say about his home run derby performance.

This one's 17 seconds long. Guess what Jazz Chisholm had to say. Well, he's either going to be bummed about it or he's just going to be like, I think he probably took it in stride, no? Hey, I'm just happy to be here. You know, it's fun. I'm in the home run derby. You know, all these guys watching me playing. It's just a great week. Hang with the guys. You dream about this as a kid. Ah, you know.

Something to remember and laugh about. If I got more than 20 homers by the half next year, I'd do it again. And I actually try to hit homers every swing. Trying to keep my swing. No, it's not that I wasn't trying to hit homers. I was trying to keep my swing and hit homers instead of just trying to hit everything in the air. I was trying to keep my line drive swing and hit homers. But, you know, it gets better. All right, and here's why you're going to get the point.

Because even though you got all the context completely wrong, you got the spirit of the... I don't want to say the spirit of the clip. You got the whole premise of the clip. He brushed it off. He wasn't hard on himself. It was very loose. A jovial mood, even if you will. So 2-1, good for you to get back on track here. I don't even know what to think about your judging tonight. It's all over the board. Well, would you agree you'd still be 2-1 regardless of how I...

scored the clip so far. I'm not sure I got any right yet. Okay, so then you're 0-3. I don't question you as the judge. You know what? Fine, I'll throw this out here on a swivel. Let's see what happens. Listener Appreciation Week, right? You think I suck as a judge? Let's get one of these callers to step up. They can judge you on Friday. If you are following the show avidly,

You know, guess what they said? It's your favorite program, your favorite segment, and you can reach out to me, and I think you're coherent and not drunk, which is probably the number one precursor to this. I will let you judge Guess What They Said on Friday. Just like you get your questions to me on Instagram or on Twitter, let me know what your questions are. If you want to be consideration for the judge for Guess What They Said on Friday, you hit me up.

If you all suck, I still do it. But I'm tired of this nonsense from Bart. You think you can judge better than me? I want to see it. So you got four days to pick it up, people. You're two and one. Let's go to the next clip here. And this one's right up your alley.

Let's go to National League manager Dave Roberts. I want you to guess what he had to say about the Brewers' young rookie Jacob Mizorowski being on the All-Star team. Now, Jacob Mizorowski, the Miz, awesome! Has only five starts, and only four of them were pretty awesome, but five starts, he breaks Paul Skeen's rookie record of getting into the All-Star game.

appearances or whatever have you. He's going to get in. This audio is 10 seconds long. Guess what Dave Roberts had to say about your boy, Jacob the Miz. I mean, we saw him pitch against us. He looked like an all-star to me. You know, it's not his fault that he got in the game, and it's an attraction. People are going to want to see it. They're going to see what we saw last Tuesday.

And they're going to be entertained. It's going to be electric. So the fans, the media, you're going to love it. So for me, it's an easy answer because If it brings excitement, attention to our game, then I'm all about it. Yeah, what was he going to do? Was he going to dog him? It's pretty self-explanatory. Good for Mizorowski. Good for Brewers fans. Good for you. Good for baseball.

If you've got a problem with this, you absolutely suck. That is a 3-1 score right there. So technically, Bart will win the game, but I don't like his attitude, so we're going to pretend this clip is going to count for two. He can either really stick the landing or he can lose right here. And I want you to guess what Rob Manford, the commissioner of Major League Baseball, had to say on the role of the umpire.

with automatic balls and strikes on the horizon. Now, this one's 20 seconds long, and it's courtesy of the Pat McAfee Show because ESPN's forcing us to watch Pat McAfee. Guess what Rob Manfred had to say?

on the role of the umpire going forward. We're always going to have views for them in our game. It's just a modern involvement of how can we get the best out of the situation and make it... as good for everybody that we're trying to do this sport for we want to at the end of the day get these things right and it's just a part of the process and trying to see how that moves ahead going forward

I never call the automated strike zone system robot umpires because one of the things we really do want to preserve is the role of the umpire in the game and you know the way the system is designed he gets the call he makes the call just like he does today in order to that's his role you know that's what he's doing out there well i don't like your attitude but uh A win's a win, so... That's Guess What They Said. We will wrap things up.

Listener appreciation week. Best sports moment of your life was the topic tonight. Oh, we got Eddie on the line. Eddie, I'll get you in here. You got about a minute if you can squeeze it down. What's up? Mr. Bart, how are you doing, man? Thank you for taking my call. Yeah, thanks for hanging. What's up? All right, man. My best athletic achievement is my only athletic achievement. I played one down of intercollegiate scholastic football. Where was that at?

When I was in high school, I was the equipment guy all through my high school years. My senior year coach said, animal, you're getting in. I was known as animal by then. So you were like Rudy, kind of? You were like Rudy. It was kind of a Rudy moment, kind of a Moonlight Graham moment. Yeah. I got in. It was a B-team game. I got in one play, split out at a wide receiver, laid a devastating block. I was supposed to get in for another play. Someone jumped offside.

Cut my career in half. I had to come out. But you got in. I got in. One play. Won my whole career. One play. One more than I got. It was a good block. I played a good block. I appreciate that, Eddie. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Bart. Many more comments you could get in on this again.

On the show's Facebook page, let's wrap things up with a WTF. You don't have to go home, but we have to get the heck out of here. Shut it down! Let's go home! Here's tonight's Winkler's Thrilling Factoid. What? Bro, what are you talking about, man? Your nightly WTF. What did you say? Wait. WTF? What the? Oh, my God. Only on the Bart Winkler Show. All right. It's 2025.

There's a moment I want to talk about, but it's about the president. So everybody, hang on to your seats. We're either going to get mad or we're going to get glad. I don't know. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to just read articles about it. And then if you're mad about anything I say, all I did was read articles. Okay? So you can be mad at that. USA Today.

Because what happened was the Club World Cup, and Donald Trump was at the game, and then there was this onstage presentation, and Chelsea won the World Cup and celebrated it. And Trump was on the stage with them and is in their team photo. Chelsea star Cole Palmer was like much of the world wondering why President Donald Trump was...

obliviously standing, it's close enough, in the middle of their trophy presentation. Wait, what's he doing? Palmer said to Chelsea captain Reese James before the customary celebration soccer clubs perform when commemorating a major title. Are you going to leave? James asked Trump. I knew he was going to be there. I didn't know he was going to be on the stand while we lift the trophy. I was confused, said Palmer, added James. I thought he was going to exit the stage, but he wanted...

to stay. It is a weird moment. It would be like if the United States in basketball won in the Paris Olympics and then they were all celebrating on the stage. And then Emmanuel Macron was up there with them. We'd be like, that's weird. Now, the trophy they were celebrating with at the Club World Cup wasn't even... The right trophy. This is from the Daily Beast. And again, I just Google searched. This is what came up. The actual trophy was brought over.

FIFA president, whose name I can never remember how to pronounce, but he brought it to the Oval Office to use as an ornament. It's a trophy crafted in collaboration with Tiffany & Company. featuring a central disc with three rotating outer rings. It is a 24-karat gold-plated finish and is thought to have cost around a quarter of a million dollars to make. FIFA...

brought it to promote this back in March, said, could you hold this trophy for a while? Trump said, we put it in the Oval Office. And then I told the president. When are you going to pick up the trophy? And then the FIFA president said, we're never going to pick it up. You can have it forever. Trump then revealed to the reporter from DAZN. that Chelsea actually got a replica trophy. They made a new one, but right now the original is in the office.

So this Club World Cup is a great celebration. The lasting image is going to be, I mean, it really is, of the President of the United States. Standing on a stage as Chelsea players jump up and down with a trophy that's not even the right trophy because that trophy is sitting in the Oval Office. So... That is another chapter in soccer in America. Again, all I did was read. I just really got to preface a million times.

I once talked to a guy about the USFL, and Donald Trump was a big reason why the USFL went away, because he kind of forced a move to the fall. That happened 40 years before the political thing ever started. And the amount of hate emails I got for saying something bad was unbelievable. But maybe... Maybe I rubbed someone the wrong way from just even mentioning this or reading the story, but the picture of him up there celebrating with Chelsea was just too damn funny, and I had to take that risk.
