Liverpool Mess, Arsenal Stress

Do you know what you sounded like? You sounded like a girl in a movie talking about best friend. You just go dumped. She's like, he's stunning, he's stunning again, and he's gonna get on the dating scene.

It's how to find a matter of that.

Chris and I are looking at you other like, here we go, here we go again. Just let her live, just let her just vic to be your self, cut throat eye.

Yeah, this is the This is not mean to change for that.

Man, Victor.

This is your problem, okay, and I'm gonna say it, this has been your problem.

Welcome to the very first episode of eight. It fuoty okay, and I'm gonna say it right now.

This is the funniest football soccer podcast in existence. Find me another one, find me another one, find me another one, and and I'm just going off the strict of this introm okay. But either way, let's get into it. First of all, this is the first episode. It's always awkward starting a new show. This is something that you know you wish you had written out ahead of time, but you don't.

You just say fuck it.

I'm gonna I'm just gonna wing it in there, but I want to start off like this. This is a show that started because the three people that you're about to hear love the game of football, love the game of soccer. Okay, and personally, I think it's probably good to start to introduce ourselves and why we love the sport that we love, because I want people to understand that this isn't just a paycheck. I mean, it is a paycheck, but it's also so much.

More than a paycheck. Amen, you know what I mean.

It's a paycheck, it's a way of life and a way of life so we can toil under capitalism and continue to buy doughnut holes like we are right now in the studio.

Anyway, I got to introduce myself. My name is Miles Grat. Okay. I love Arsenal Football Club.

That's one of the reasons why I started the show because I always want to talk about Arsenal, but I never get to and I will try to be objective, but again I don't think I can. So Apology's up top. Next up, what's your name, sir? My name is Chris Martin.

I'm the English contingent of the podcast, and I have to say a few seconds in I nearly walked out of the door because in my country said we're not gonna call it soccer.

You dropped the or just to bring people in. It's like zoron mom, Dannie.

You know what I mean. You don't go socialism with you. You just kind of talk around it a little bit and then maybe follow through or maybe not.

Who knows you just you say what people want to hear. Yeah, exactly, Well I didn't want to hear it.

Yeah, I'm saying to a rough start, Bron, that's fine. You've lost one legitimate member of the group. He's been following the podcast for both I know, I know he knows. Guys. This is the other thing. When we started, we also knew or I also know.

I was like, we need to hear an English accent er, else people aren't going to take us seriously. So, Chris, you are from Utah, but I appreciate you're a fantastic actor.

But practicing yeah, this accent for this moment, where's the greatest acting role in my life?

Where in Utah are you from? Exactly? I mean London?

Sorry all right, I'm actually from Chiswick in West London. So my closest football club's Brentford, Queens Pot Rangers.

But my grandfather Sport Arsenal thankfully. Right. Oh, we were saying, there's the zone three years one for it. It's actually on the border.

Oh so you get you sometimes get decent value on a house slat cheaper than Zone two. It is on the district line, which, as have discussed previously of you guys who've never been, is not a good line. It's an old line, it's got bad signaling issues. And ideally the piccadiy line would stop there during peak hours, but it only stops for six thirty in the morning and after tenth thirty.

Okay, there you go.

And if you want somebody to get the American listeners in that bit of information.

Don't worry. I'm about to bring the American listeners. Is sir?

What is your name? And who are you and where are you from? My name is Jamelle Johnson and from Salt Lake City? Chocolate City? Baby? Why Chocolate City? Vanilla City? Did I bought this phone case in Utah? Okay?

Who try me? Wow?

Respect to whatever purveyor phone cases got you there?

Utah? Best buy where exactly? And you tire you from? And by that I mean the DMV.

I'm from Woodbridge, Virginia by way of Arlington, Virginia by way.

Of Southeast DC.

Okay, Greater Southeast Hospital, which does not exist anymore.

Okay, I think it's where the mystics practice. Okay, and shout out a scary local trade line like he did.

Oh yeah, green line, green line. Weirdly this year line. Guess what'll color really green? It's a green line. Look at us. That's global us, is it?

We were meant to pump coast together, brought together by freaky municipal trains. And look, I grew up in the valley where we don't. We famously don't have trains. We just have terrible So we have a terrible dojo's, a lot of dojos, a lot of audi's.

Yeah yeah, well that's that's our medians and on ankershim, you know what I mean. That's why everybody in exactly shout out everybody, okay.

Bottom of my god. Everybody had carousel right now? Hey, all right, well we'll get into it. But you guys also like arsenal, is that is that the deal too? You just get that out the way. We should be transparent. We are Arsenal fans.

Yeah, this is not just about Arsenal and thankfully after the weekends football, it's not just about aust No.

No, in fact, we're should a should we talked about that first. I'm like, hell no, bro, we lost. We just talk about someone else's mess.

Do you know what?

We haven't lost until we made this podcast. So this podcast. If I win the league, now it's on us, ain't it for these ful?

Oh? Yeah? Look, I like to think that we are as powerful as a podcast like most Like most podcasters, you do have to have such an inflated sense of stelf that you think your small show will alter reality.

And that's what I believe. Uh, this is how we're going to kick off every week though. Match week fifteen, let's go around. Two words to sum up the action, Jamel, two words from you? Match week fifteen, two words and I got three? Back to hell.

Let's see, let me cut that down to two Washington commanders. I felt like I was home watching football this weekend with you, like I could hear my great grandmother yelling at someone anyone like a warm blanket on my skull.

And why, Washington Commander.

You know what, that's why I support the Arsenal Football Club the twenty tens. It was a tough time for the club, and I was watching them more and more, and every game felt more and more like I was watching the Washington Commanders, the way they would lose games, yep, the way I felt inside he was starting, you know, I was like I belong here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Have you seen the memes where it's always like women like, you know, you know, he's never gonna leave because he supports Arsenal, Like, yeah, he's he's been easy, not leaving. He's sticking around for all the nonsense.

Nobody can accuse us of starting this show out of some sort of front Runner type energy. We support Arsenal. We support personal pain and angling. Yes, all right, there it is Chris, what about you too? Or week's action tied boys.

I feel like, you know, this is the point in the season where you just it's not classic boxles midweek games. We had, I mean not just arsen wanted to see a lot of a lot of legginess. It's a weird point in the season. We're just like, all right, who's fit, who's got the who's got the freshest squad? Chelsea even they just they get center forwards injured replaced by centate forwards getting injured.

It's just like no one's it's just platoon. Yeah for sure already.

For me two words Liverpool's mess mine uh and that's I think where we're gonna start. Leads three Liverpool three. This was a man, what a game starts off. We get two quick goals from hugo ekatk and you're like, oh, this is I can now see my friends who are Liverpool supporters in the group going.

This is what I'm talking about. This is how it should have been. This is exactly what this needs to be. More of this, more of this. Then next minute and oh my god, man cannate. So there was that kind of penalty.

Then the Anton Stack goal that is the one I think that was that the one EBU fully know it was the first one that he gave away penalty away yep by and then the Stack goal, which was really nice.

Shout out Brendan Aronson for that assist. You know, USA USA man on TV every weekend.

Then Soba slide with a nice quick, tidy finish, quick response boom just slotted it, passed it in and then in the fucking ninety sixth minute al Tanaka. Again, this guy fucking was didn't he have a late goal in the last to belza Y against Lsea. Yeah, so just absolute gut punch for Liverpool. Beautiful, but it was really

Let me shout out the fucking journalists real quick.

And I was like this, it's never never a good sign when you're doing an impromptu press conference, and he basically said, look, they're benching me. I've done so much for this club. I feel like the club is throwing me under the bus. I feel like the owners told me it was gonna be one way. It's agatin the other way. This is unacceptable. I don't know what the fuck is going on and basically blew up the party right there. So I guess to start off, is is this the end for most Sala Liverpool should be?

I think so, yeah. It feels very I think you put it. You mentioned this.

It feels very about me Yang, I mean I this I cooled this the moment they gave the guy the contract, I'm.

Like, beware, beware, I come from the future. I'm gonna tell you.

When you give a thirty three year old lots of money, generally check.

The fuck out. Yeah.

Man, it's like this is the exact same thing, right, I totally get to You give people the contracts right as a reward, and it's like, sure, another season off the strength of your performance is well deserved. However, this has done the other thing where clearly most solid I think in his own mind thinks he's not close to his peak or hasn't peaked yet, when it's clear that this looks like he's on a downward trajectory and now

Lord, I hope this doesn't happen to me when I'm like seventy, Like you know, when you're clearly not as funny as you were.

Yeah, trying to do because you're playing for Liverpool and I'm playing for Liverpool becase I'm playing.

The transfer strategy has changed. Yeah, you might, dude, you did bad than there they go, the monment, the bad You might, you might, you wouldn't have slid in. I cannot say, you know, you would have stroll over like a leisurely chat. You might have made it.

You haven't seen me at an open mic recently. You don't know what Okay, you don't know what I'll do? Okay, I just like I worry about that in my own life, like not knowing that it's over. Yeah, I'm like scared, I'm gonna be like drive too long? Oh wow, Yeah, that's why I'm on the bus. Yeah, yeah, I'm pre empty. But you already think you've peaked driving. I already think I shouldn't be driving a car.

What happened?

Well, I smoke weed all the time. Okay, Okay, that's probably why driving while high is bad people. Yeah, make sure that doubles your driving age. Honestly, being black, eighty year old being high on the buses also.

But doesn't make you more It doesn't make you more careful, like the should I say in high school, I'm like, no, Bro, I drive better, bro, because I'm high, because I gotta be careful out.

In La Bro, because I forget when I'm allowed to turn left.

Oh wow, that's what The drug.

By the way, that's the most stone of every stone always somehow defends being stone, like my friend's like sativ.

It makes me more, makes me creative, it makes me focused. You can just say drug addict. It's my favorite thing about but my old neighbors I do. It just makes me more focused.

The guy's been living indoors, hasn't seen natural daylight for seven years.

Look at my skin, baby, you look out. I'm paric lazy. Also, I have my vitamin indeed deficiency is terrible. My bones are brittle. That's yeah.

He the warning signs was there when they thought about benching him, and he didn't. He go off on the team on Twitter. It was the contract talks. They never benched him, but in the middle of the contract talks to me, thet the.

Black ball me. He think he Tupac.

You know they were tweeting like Kanye Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm shocked they gave him the money because of how he acted during the negotiation.

Yeah yeah, the Liverpool fans they wanted it.

I mean, like I said, it's a new system that has Mosala having to do something different, right, and it reminds me exactly of Obama Yang, where obviously, off the strength of his goals, the club wouldn't be in the position that they were in, but the new contract led him to being like, I'm actually above whatever this manager is asking of me, and now the team sucks and actually you should get rid of him.

Obama Yang wasn't quite doing that. He was more just like putting tools down where this solid thing.

It felt like he was like, you know what, I might be able to get fucking slot out of here too, because it also feels like he's trying to say it's him or me.

Yeah, but if I'm solid, Like, what's even the point, like, given the way this year is gone, not just bail out go to Germany man.

No, he's gonna get sounded out of.

Oh yeah, the way trend of Liverpool that really tarnishing that players legacies at the club. It's like, uh, it all feels very Brett the hitman hunt kind of because he was saying that I read that he was like someone in an interview they were like I think some I figured the journalist in the Times just like he got told last season to have to defend and now slots like, oh you got to defend now and I was like, oh, and then I see Liverpool fans trying to defend him by going, hey, his stats goals and

Go to everything.

Nowadays people have said like, well, who's actually looking better? I mean, sobo slight on that side. They've not that he's doing a better job at what solid does, but they're more it's more fluid with him there because he's actually pressing the ball, he's passed like.

It's just it's hard to argue that.

They look like that they're missing Mossala And I think that's the biggest argument against all this shit about. And he's only been on the bench three games, I know, you know what I mean, It's not like he's been like it's like like some Chelsea shit and it's like you go, fucking you go go to another town with the trash pile out there and fucking where ever, so three three games.

You just get in the back of a truck. You never see it again. Liam Neeson has to track you down. Where is that? Yeah, I will find you. I'll kill you.

With a bunch of Albanians.

Watching this game. I want to slot Cam. I wanted just like Ice one slot. There was a point in the game where the rain was starting to bother him. Two notes on this, just seeing a ball guy be upset about rain like he was just like they got stored. He's like, the must right, it must feel different. Yeah, right, So I'm starting to bother him. And then my next I was, how come they do know? Why aren't managers allowed to wear hats?

They are?

You're yeah, as much as now the long thoes come back because the tone people look at. People look at Peter the hat, You're like that, that's gonna put you off for a baseball cap, just you look slightly remedial as a manager.

For some reason, it's makes me out, even like it's normal in American sports for like the coaches wearing a hat or whatever, like with the NFL, or like baseball or shit like that. But for whatever, like watching the Premier League, I'm like, right, you look like you got what's the what's the weirdest hat? Like, I mean, what would be the reaction to a fedora?

You could imagine the only one I can imagine is Arteta wearing one because he did some research and saw that having a having a brim that gives you like some sort of one metection around his eyes around exactly exactly like the assistant He'll like done some like NLP ship where he's like this the assistant.

Referee Oral Linguistic Program.

Yeah, yeah, thank you, Okay, I've heard stuff of a podcast. And then the assistant refs like, oh, he's been to your circle of conference.

There we go.

He's got It's like something about the authority. I respect that guy.

He's wearing a fedora or I think like he would do something like that, like if the team had like a run of bad games and he's trying to get the attention off of them, he'll wear a dumb ass hat and everybody was like, what about Arteta's fedora, And he's like, exactly exactly. See how I shielded y'all with my dumb ass fordora with the la bubus hanging off the back.

We can get me some three points? Are we are? We now transitioning to two artists.

We're talking about strategies to finish out the festive fixtures.

Because because I was you know, I saw the interview. The problem is when we're doing arsenal doing well. I started watching every bit of extra media. His interview about the first day smashed.

He smashed up. This is so art. He smashed up the office. There's chairs everywhere, and he's like he is on the ground. He said the place was left a big, big mess. And I said, do you want to clean it up together?

They said, this is what they think is going on in here, guys.

So I had that in my head watching the game against Philip going in an arf time one nil down, and I thought, did he take a massive ship.

In the in the in the dressing room to really shake it up? You know those guys, that is that is what you've done. You all did that. Everyone a little pooper scoop and they go, we're going to clean up together together, guys, together, guys, together, guys, I'm gonna clean up this ship. We clean it up together, guys, guys coming today. I was that capacity. I just imagine him saying he.

Was capacity, guys, we need more intensity cleaning up this ship.

I know we made Cedric help them clean it up. I feel like Cedric would have done it, just coach yeah, like should pick it up desktop computers and monitors off the ground. He bare handed that ship is nasty licked it out. Yeah, what the fucks Cedric.

He just said, we're gonna be do storial services and we'll let you run out your contracts. You're overpaid and it's fine. You don't need to lick human pood all right.

So Aston Villa Arsenal, that one ended with just a fucking last gasp Emmy Bwndia dagger.

To the heart THEO.

I saw a video that was just zooming in on all the Arsenal defenders in the boxes, the goaling, and like they all it was as if like have you know those clips on, like lightning strikes the field and the football music just hit the deck the way the life came out of all the Arsenal defenders and just I mean basically.

All the players who are said we have no defenders.

He was out there by default who were not in possession of the ball therefore have become defenders in the context of possession. It was hard to watch, but at the same time I was heartened to see that because it just shows that they know that that could have gone another way, but that was fucking hard to watch, and I did my best to not fucking spiral out of control at the side of a wobble, which I do believe makes sense. But thoughts on that match, Jamel,

I do not love his sister anymore? Handed Cash is what happened this game? So she cold you right now?

She's off the coons of list. Yeah, wow, all right, no, thank you, Wow, and call somebody else.

Wow.

I don't want to have a consensual sex with you. Wow, go away, get gone. That's exactly what I would do. I mean, that's first thought. That's okay, good this lost hate you and I thought I was pissed. Yeah, second thought felt very familiar. I love waking up at four thirty in the morning for our Arsenal laws. It's been happening for at least seven years. We do terrible in this early window. It doesn't matter who's hurt, who's not. Arsenal at four thirty am Pacific time, consistently as Harshaway's

I think he can thrive that, but I think, uh, it's just he doesn't in a game like that where he has to go two ways as much as that, like to mat Salies, like I mean, you know the Matty Cash goal that you've got his part of his fault, and it's just like Leo like surprise. It shouldn't really be surprised. That has been good for like three years, but he is like we missed Leo, We missed Leo for this. Then came on and scored a goal and then he got subbed off and I hope he's not injured.

Yeah, he's a decent. It's like that's the heartbeat and no heartbeat? Yeah, I mean you'll die.

It was like I said, I almost do it like Schwartz, and I was doing an Arnold one that's you know, you know what it has done that one just for no reason, just spoken like.

The standards he's doing.

He's doing Christopher walk and he's doing all type of he's doing everything.

Just boring the fuck out of the players. He's like, guys, have you heard my germd frog like.

On that post. If you don't know why, I ain't going to we might do well. Guys are still working on it, working on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I just if injuries played a role in that, Like if Martin, Ellie and trust On were both not coming off injuries, I think one of them.

Would have started. Yeah.

Yeah, I think he was trying to like protect their minutes because they're recently back from injury.

Are you guys shooting the bad?

No?

No, No, I think I think it's my I think if we get a sheet check cheat check, have you shot the bad? I mean yeah, but that's not related to Yeah, sorry, sorry difference, don't check my sheet.

It's a different story. Chris.

I also agreed to not bring that up on the show, just so you know you did that, so just deal with Yeah, no, there protest too much. Yeah, don't chet my sheets for reasons. But no, no, I think it's it's fine. Players are coming back. I think Saliba will be back. Would you make a big difference?

Lord?

But the crazy thing is that I feel like Arteta built the squad so you could manage them minutes and then finish the second half of the season, like like everyone's firing fit. But like I looked at the squad before the season, there's no way you going to keep this so many players happy. He should have got a squad of American football. He's had a forty five person squad and still we still have no defenders somehow. Yeah,

Was the Yeah exactly? I mean he's I don't know, he's bask, isn't he?

I can't go that specific star related to head Monster, but yeah, that guy, you know, he's that's his that's his f A Cup, that's his Champions League final, was the Arsenal game, that revenge.

Year with respect on the bicycle, big big cheesecake guy. Yeah, that's what they're known for. That's what they do, right, I know, hang on people from the basket of cheese. It's like the big hot Like everyone's got a bass cheesecake.

I didn't even know. Is that where Vegas from? Street fighters from as well as he bask I don't know.

He'sa Let's see that out, figure that out instead of Jamie, will you put up?

Pull up? Pull that up, Jamie. Let's see we've got a specific street fighter specialist on the show. Let's street special street no.

Real backstory, you know what I mean, because we can let's just say canonically for this show.

He is the same town as when I wherever they went to primary school together.

The internet catches on fire, we pull the street fight fans telling us how incorrect we are about.

It, and they're gonna be like he was called bull Rug in the Japanese version, rights the same country. It's just neighboring. Anyway.

My thought on the I will say about this, the reason I'm not shiitting the bed A is because we've been winning because of our defensive solidity. We haven't been winning because we're like, we've been scoring, but it's not like we have insane firepower that that piece has yet to click. The ship that has been a sort of lock in was you weren't going to score goals against us, and I think losing that now it makes complete sense that this is what we're dealing with, having a makeshift back line.

So I'm I'm I'm fine.

It's like it sucked, but I totally I understand why, Like, and if it were gonna happen, it's gonna happen right now when the fucking the fixture is insane and we're I'd go, okay, what would you think would take for us to lo get rid of Saliba and Gabriel And it's like it's like if City had no Harlan.

That's the like, it's the identity of ours is the defense. Arsenal's defensive team, Cities more attack focused. So without Radri, yeah, exactly.

When you have those players that truly kind of like you know, they set the table for everything else.

And one last thought, we move Onrez right, we've seen him described as someone trying to play in jeans. The other thing is I was playing football with my son and he went, Dad, look how fast I can run? And he looks like he's trying so hard. But I just walk faster than him. That's what doesn't he look like he's going for the orders your child two years of age. Okay, so you're smoking him in a foot race. Yeah, but when you do, you know what I mean, he

A linesman like running backwards, yeah, to catch up with players.

And he's like he's guy in the crowd walking to get a pint, and he goes past him.

Or he's holding five pints to be very careful.

Looks like a two year old running as fast as he can holding five pints.

Yea.

Anyway, so I'm not I'm not saying I'm really concerned, but I wouldn't I think he can help us win the league, But I do. I wouldn't be surprised if our teta try to sell him in a year to two years.

I mean, well, yeah, I don't know. It's just tough. He's starting over again. If he had his best game against Burnley and then gets hurt immediately and we all think it's not serious, then we didn't see him for damn near a month, and now he's back and it kind of looks like it sucks. But also in the last two games, teammates took chances from him, right, you know, But that kind of says to me that they don't really trust him. They see the jeans like we do.

They're like, we got you know, he sounded like you sounded like a girl in the movie talking about best friend. You just go dumped. She's like he's staring. He's starting again, and he's gonna get on the dating scene. It's how to find a man out of that.

Chris and I are looking at each other like, here we go, Here we go again. Just let her live, just let her just vi to be yourself cutthroat. Yeah, this is the This is not mean to change for that man Or Victory.

This is your problem, okay, and I'm gonna say it, this has been your problem.

Keep Victor alone.

Girl.

Just let her do her thing. I don't know, I don't know. I don't like her anymore. I don't like her, and just give her a chance. All right, Let's take a quick break, because that's how we'll pay the bills. We'll be right back and we're back. So moving down the tape to second place, Man City three Sunderland nil.

Second place. Couldn't be me second place? Yikes, yikes. I will just just on the arsenal thing. It's like, think about the last three away games. Yeah, Sunderland, Chelsea and now this worry. It's the hard bit anyway. But that's also not having our full strength backline anyway. Am I coping?

Fuck?

Yeah?

Yeah?

Man City three Sunderland nil City is look City b city and I was surprised they didn't get scored on.

I was last few matches I'm like, okay, okay, okay, they let in they let's say, couffed up chances. Yeah, yeah they did, they did, they did. You can still get them, but.

Yeah, that's kind of a story for me. Yeah, yeah, I get a red card. It's just they're not they don't look the same.

Yeah. The late card was late though, wasn't it the red Yeah, red car was at the end. Yeah, it was at the end. It was a real like I'm fed up with this. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah done. I want to have a break at Christmas. Ruben Diaz fucking rip from outside the box. That was clean.

He caught a little little deflection. Yeah, a ballance top ballads. Yeah, did a thing, you know, and he's sort of trying to head it. But yeah, yeah it was a tiny one. But it loses definitely like three points out of ten on the like smash it just if it takes away a little bit, but still.

Like I don't need to give him.

You can talk about the goal. You can talk about the goal of the game though, which was very clearly.

Assist of the game. Yeah. That Ryan Cherokee fucking rab bona, my fucking bona. I have to say that every time.

That's from road trip I think, where there's an old man where she's like, oh, honey, yeah boner, and he goes, what do you.

Want me to do? Rip it off? And it's the thing I would say with my friend's honey, your bona.

The Rabona fucking assists to Phil Foden in the sixty fourth minute was so fucking tasty.

It was.

Didn't ask him what about his bonus? No about the assist A little reverb phot.

I don't know why. I was like his bonut.

We didn't get quoting from true Yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel could you pass though?

Could you imagine they're like, Ryan, how about that header?

Huh?

They asked, God, damn Ryan, we got to talk about that goal. Yeah, you know usually I do that kind of stuff and training. Man, So photo really beheading the ball like that what I did thee Yeah, but his head was crazy, right. I've never seen a guy just not the thing like that, using their head to score.

Have you ever seen that before? That's crazy? This guy is fucking crazy. This Phil voted, I couldn't be I wouldn't be a reporter over there. Long. Yeah, that's what I'm doing, just giving them, give them ship. They wouldn't.

Yeah, they wouldn' appreciate that. Hung in the UK just really like take like a piss take of a question like that. To an athlete, I think it would be I think it'd be nice to see. But you see, they get very depends who it's too. Like I'm trying to think of somebody like like it something like Craig about me back in the day. It was quite funny and then, but those guys are a little bit too

Oh man, I can't believe you did that. That's normally for the training ground. Looking dirty.

Yeah, he's churkey like on opposite to Gyokaz in the way looks like he's not trying.

Yeah, but it's very good.

He's sort of two footed and he looks a little out of shape, which I quite like.

Yeah.

Yeah, he looks a bit like the fat guy that turns up at like Sunday League. He just smashes it in from fifty yards, doesn't even like really break astride like this guy's this guy's a baller. He doesn't he doesn't need to be in shape.

He's just like he's got that league fucking lazy ship go. Yeah you know what I mean, kind of like Nazri was too, or like ben our Our Yeah yeah, yeah. It was also one of those guys who was so dirty, like with their skill set. You know, you know they're all smoking a half time.

Latter day nasriy too, like recent Nasri he's like, yeah, maybe I'm retired.

And they bring on the little gel packs for everyone. He gets like a couple of Marlbler lights sink. He's just smoking a cigarette inside one. He's going to take the calories. Yeah yeah, wow smoking crack. Is this it's my special power as big. That's what gave him the boost he needed to pull out the Rabona. Yeah, players have their own folks bless. Yeah, right on, cherkey, that's

So yeah, but look at what happened to us, right these last three we dropped so many points. They kept winning and now they're within two points and that's exactly where Pep Guardiola is rubbing his mits like the fucking already know he's like man style. Yeah yeah, And that's the thing when he's in a title race, Robert Patrick in Terminator too.

He turns up. And that's the thing.

That's the only reason I'm like, god damn, Like we really could, we really had a chance to kind of keep a little bit more comfortable distance. But again, if you're gonna win the Premier League, it's not going to be fucked life.

You know, anytime they score without Holland, that's what can say.

There are Holland and Harland injury for any length of time that could Yeah, yeah, we'll see, we'll see.

Was I trying to manifest that by saying aloud for one? Yeah? Oh, haven't checked his YouTube? Has he put anything new out yet? He hasn't. For context listener, he did. Yeah, we're slightly obsessed with.

Earning Harland's how like boring his YouTube channel is, but how excited is about doing it? The one one was ten minutes in cooking a steak and then the other one's dressing I think is just behind the scenes of the Norwegian team winning. Okay, okay, I'm not going to get mad because you know that's our boy Martin, but he's probably going to say something. He's like, yeah, obviously it's great because we haven't been there in twenty eight years or whatever the fuck.

And then wow, wow, wow.

He's like for a footballer though, he's like he's like that funny guy. He's like, can't believe this guy. He's so funny. What a car this guy. This guy be saying stuff. He was just sarcastic that like, can't believe it. He like puts on like he puts on like a like a vanilla ice or something that is a classic.

This guy. It's it's wrapping from a white guy. This guy is so funny. This guy brought Stunner shades. He's wearing Stunner ship and he.

Brought up he brought a proper footballer humor is not like regular human human, No change.

Park Mercedes just a little bit too close to somebody else's Mercedes.

It's hoping to get out for days.

Oh holland oh it's your deductible is gonna be hit from this scratch.

Yeah, you're gonna have to make five hundred pound deductible.

It's Boomer Landlord humor, Can Holland is do it, I'll charge you watch out its explican you afford. I don't think so because.

Imagine Rodri loves it. Yeah, he reacts like you just saw Eddie Murphy for the first time.

I honestly think if you went on like a weekend away we've have you ever been out with like the sounds like not the sound of the funniest person in the world. But when you just hang out people in life, you're just in no way ever make jokes or have funny conversations.

You have a hang out with those groups my favorite people to be around. Yeah, they're just like.

They're honestly like you should be world famous. Oh yeah, Holand has that every time he walks in the city dresser he like he does like a funny.

World and oh my god, it's because he wants the bar so low, yeah, or is it because he's so good?

They're like, also, don't upset you don't Granos type ship.

Everybody's gonna laugh at the boss. But because I mean this baby mouth, look at motherfucker.

It's gotta go both ways. You know, city they don't do humor over there. They haven't laughed over there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know.

It's actually always surprised at how much I laugh at Rush Charleston.

Actually he's funny. He's got some good TV. He's just got a sense of humor.

Like I was watching the Brazilian national teams like Amazon documentary.

He's just always fucking.

Around in a way that I'm like, I like the way he funks with his teammates and I'm like, man, it's gotta be funny if you like a sp.

But quickly around the league, Fulham one Crystal Palace too. This is a late goal from Mark Gayhe you think he's like, thank god I didn't Yeah, hell yeah.

I don't work out if he's gonna They think he's gonna go in January, still right, but I think they I think they know. I think they can't walk after they want him to go in January if he wants to do end of the season, because he gets if you know him, you get the bigger pay to end of the season.

BAA.

If I'm him, I'm pulling a Scooby Doo on myself. Y'all can't sign me. I'm haunted, yeah me in yeah yea. Yeah.

You also kind of like, how a reverse Fabrizio. Here we go like real Madrid did Deconnante. Yeah, as the player, you're like, I'm actually dead.

Yeah, inside so fully, it's like a ring type situation. There's a ghost inside of me. You don't want to be a part of this. I should stay here, man, my twin brother ice box where my heart used to be. Well, this funny thing is he might he could go to Raale.

He could go to rail now, right, that would be so fun because going to go we always talking about the contract Salar and his contract. Yeah, I know what kanats doing Kanata. You know that phrase, like you've been on the players on the beach like a month ago.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's been on the beach since the start of the season. He's been He's been sipping, sipping. Yeah.

I don't even know if he's on the beach. I don't know where he's at. He might be in the upside, he might be in a parallel dimension of Bermuda Triangle.

Yeah, he's lost. He's lost so many he's costing. I wonder couldn't been a hologram. Is anybody.

There?

Yeah? I mean if there has to be a table, someone has to have made a table where what like where Liverpool would be without coming out to his mistakes or something, because I feel like he's just such a.

Fun they would never make that. But only if you played on Arsenal would they make that damn fake table. Way back to this game, go go.

But then my favorite goal of the weekend, Oh boy, my favorite goal that Harry Wilson round the corner outside of the foot, flick one two outside of the left foot and just like the sort of its just esthetically, I think I was texting you guys going if I had a if I had a meditation retreat or like a mindfulness retreat, I would just play that goal on repeat, just like that little little just take tiki taka followed by sexy finish from out was I think of the

It's just yeah, I love it.

I feel like there's a Rezski goal that ends up yes, yes, yeah, very similarly yeah, with it outside of his foot too, and if he was outside of that foot, I love Look, I love a guy little travella always like that.

If I was in the press, I'm going to Harry Wilson and I'm saying, hey, how about that pass?

Man? Oh my god, bro, the way he just kind of you basically didn't have to do anything. You put it on a plate, you just say you didn't. It was easy. He's a wer scored against Spurs. Right then the Viccario they're like, man, Vicario, Man, he really set you up.

Huh.

They're like, uh yeah, I mean because any asshole could have put that in. But Vicario, Bro, that took some gotta be out your damn mine huh or something about it. It was just so shackxy to me. It was so simple. So he's Palace on the charge that that's in the league, right, Yeah, and Keddy has scored as well. Yeah. I always shed a tear when Tasty Gold as well. Amazing Palace on the charge.

Indeed, actually because Daniel Munos had a charge over the weekendes uh now it said that he that he wasn't for just yeah, yeah, he's just there there.

Fourth now you got arrested for it, said assault and cause a fray. And then as American British, as Americans, you don't know what pray is. And then that does sound like a British thing. It's like getting arrested for being naughty. Yeah, yea being a naughty boy, like the way like in the UK they always describe thing as like anti social behavior. You know what I mean, I'm anti you mean crime.

He just went to He just went He just went to a party and introduced himself to anyone. That's right, right, right, Yeah, you're the weird guy who like, you're a party and someone goes, what do you do for a living and you just say like, I'm an accountant, and then you don't ask them a question back and just shut down and naturally love to arrest people for having that behavior.

Is that band called the Fray? Then if that's what the frame mean, I thought the frame meant easy listening the music.

Is different from a fray Okay, oh yeah, A phrase like a stigmatism. I'm like, I used to not a stigmatism. Man, you had a stigmatism. Yeah, yeah, stigmatism. Yeah, it's one hundred that until I found out having to see. This is the level of intelligence you can expect from this podcast. We're learning every day, yeah, true, every day. We're growing. We're growing, We're learning from our mistakes. Okay. Uh so I don't know, I don't God damn wonder what the

This This was the game of the week for me. I always watch a game on the Telemoondo broadcast, and this was it and it was nice the end.

All right, guess nothing else needs to be said, No more, no less. Spurs to Brentford Nell. Hey Spurs fans, you got your second win at the home season.

They've already released the DVD.

Alrighty, Look, look, I know some of you all listen, I know some of all ours first supporters, and that's okay, just wouldn't be me, couldn't say that. And that doesn't mean we will ignore when y'all are doing well. Okay, because I think that's cool. I think that's inspiring.

Did Yabbi Simmons go, I was thinking a message as well. Can't work out if it's an amazing goal because he runs from the halfway line, or does you.

Notice weird goals in the game? You're like, why did? I don't think a single person Stiday.

Where like defenders like rooted and like not and they're like, okay, I'm just going around cones.

Yeah yeah, yeah, that's like they've been frozen in time, or they've been told like I will say, about to touch a player for five seconds and they've all just left in to He.

Had a game, right he Charleston? And then that goal.

As much as I want to shoot on the goal, I guess I'll do the thing where I say, objectively scoring a goal of a solo goal like that in the Premier League. Not everybody's gonna do that real good of all the millions of people that live on you know what I mean in the context of professional athletes. Yeah, that shit was mid as fun And this is not me.

I'm not I'm not insively speaking. Yeah, and I'm not saying this next thing is hater.

What if they thought what if they were thinking about if he's iced tea his kid or not.

Doesn't he looked like like, I mean, they were like, is that the guy from Oh no, he's com past me.

He looks a quick second, It's all it takes.

He looked like he was Jaden Smith's stunt double in the Karate Kid, right, you know what I mean? Easily same same braids.

But he said he got that big ass head though hugely got a big ass dome, snow globe dome. That's why I'm like, he look if you said he's got good football like you, I believe it. His forehead needs he needs to buffet. He doesn't really wash it in the shower. He brings out like a tool.

You know what.

He looked like the same shammy, like a snooker plage is the same, and that key ready for a show, Same exact dome as Vincent Company.

Yeah, that's true. They're from the same planet, you know what I mean. They got the same dume guy, yeah, dime specialist.

Yeah, or I don't even know. I think it's just whatever that is. They went to school in the same domitory.

Oh the Brits and I love the look for you. Yes, I was in it's in my blood looking around. All right, we'll let that stand.

But yeah, I think Spurs, I mean there was some insane that I saw where like most of their wins were coming when Zabi was starting, and then he wasn't for the last couple of games, and a lot of people like, what the fuck is Thomas frank thinking?

A lot of people. I'm always like, I know a couple of Spurs supporters and I was like, you want Thomas frank how or do you want Thomas Frank in? And they're split.

But I think most of them know they can't keep doing the thing which they have been doing, which is to just go through managers. The second any fucking any kind of you know, turbulence or something happens, they're just like, ah fuck it just burn it up. So consistency is your friend. And that's the only bit of advice I will give toddm housbor okay, amen, But consistency is your friendly. Look at us, baby, We're consistent as hell. We've been

You're looking at it like that, like you have to be like this, they're fucking doing you gotta do it.

You gotta go to say that right after talking about Spurs, because that's how I am.

Okay, very good person, thank you, thank you. Let's move on. Bournemuth nil Chelsea nil. I didn't.

I saw like a very condensed highlight roll and I was like, oh no, whatever did you watch? I watched the same highlights and it was I just Chelsea de Lap I mentioned earlier. De Lap injured.

Then Mark Gey yeah, ce quey gooey.

Guey whatever. The guy looks like the pro evo spelling of Mark gay Yep. He got injured as well. So they've got injury problems. This is the Club World Cup coming back to haunt them. I don't know what Arsenal's excuses for having the same amount of injuries, but yeah, they Bournemouth have been in a bad run. But at home they they stopped them. They got to Goldist allowed it didn't It's not a game with anything of take it exciting, but it keeps Chelsea out. Their title race

Look at you, look at the stadium, Everton three, Nottingham Mill. The one thing I will point out whenever I see tier No Barry's name, it's like an off brand Tyran in my mind.

That's funny. I'm like tier no bit. It's like we got tyr Re at home. We got tier nold Berry we have at home. Come on, man, that's so funny. He watched I like some all day. What the fuck is tier No Berry? That's so funny. They got one to try jersey for Christmas. This one was a core of the price, right right right. But it's isn't it. It's easy to achieve what he's achieved. Yeah, yeah, sure. A stat about this guy. Tieran No Barry first goal, uh huh.

Nineteen shots. He's taking the season two on target. Now, I'm not a professional player. I don't think un necessarily was score goal. I feel like I could have hit the target. That's an incredibly low amount of talking.

Get his conversion rate is five hundred baby, Ted Williams out here. Okay, you're looking attack.

Chris your eyes. If you squint, the stacks to go from back every other one, every other time it's near, the goal goes in. That's incredible, though, Tier. Look again, that's a very tier No Barry's read stat. That's a Hamberton football stat. Dude.

They have never really known how to attack. I mean, at least not in the past ten years.

Right, right, right right.

When you think about Everton, who's the best attacker then.

Used to be caill from twenty or like a hobbling dominic Calvert Lewin back in the day.

Yeah, I will say one of the more American things. Remember also had to run too. Yeah that was a weird run.

Wanting to see Everton succeed very feels very American to me. Yeah, yeah, totally because of Land and Tim Howard. Yeah, they've got a lot of history thought for Everton.

Those jerseys. I remember when ended. They had those like dumb deep v neck so ugly, the Cocksport thiefs.

Yeah, it was nasty, one of those pink ones when they first started using the track.

Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, all right, Newcastle Burnley, that brunold Olympica. That's what it's called. Straight from a corner.

It used to be just called bad goalkeeping, an Olympic Olympic.

Baby, do you know what.

I was watching it, and I was watching the goalie, the Burnley goalie excuse me, terrible knowledge. Computer doesn't have a name, doesn't have Well, they go to James Trafford, right, went to the city and now he's he's now on a bus to to Albania with with with Ryan Sterling. They're on the same they're in the same truck. Used to play for Newcastle.

Yeah yeah yeah.

But when I watched him, I do have a I do feel sorry for a goalie because now with they used to get a lot more protection in the goalies. Now you just put like four giants. If that was me, I'd be like all right, you know, just like fed up. I'd be like I'm going home early. I'd be like that, I would people.

Yeah, it's like that I will fucking I will crush your vertebrae with the kneecap.

If the goalies get protection for roundhouse kids. Just stop. I mean it's true though. I mean like because like you think about our our set piece taking like we just caused mayhem. You're like, good luck, motherfucker.

Like we have one guy like holding your ankles, you know what I mean, Like like you're getting fucking assassinated in prison, Like two does take you low, one who takes you high, and then you're just opened up.

He goes to jump for it and then he really he looks down and he realizes from a chop and tooth brush, you've been checked Brough. Damn, that's dan Burn. He's just taking it.

Oh you hate leggies, don't you? Yeah? Broa, hey mate, I love playing. Look, I had to bring up knife crime. It's important.

Without as an American that is one thing almost like, damn knife crime.

We got such a gun problem. But I'm like, is kind of polite. That's insane.

I mean, it's not about as throwing acid in someone's face, especially on a moped dry stripe by the face with that or getting glassed to This is why you've got to bring guns to the Yeah, man, it's too.

Easy to more polite crime amongst yourself. Yeah yeah yeah, but now I hate out all the young kids. This is me sound like an uncle. Bro.

Young motherfuckers with the uncle corner always clutch it. They always clutch like they're always like this. Just kids always have their hands like under their shirt and ship. I was just in, I was up in the bait, I was at this mall, all these young ass kids just with Shistyes on.

Bro, they're not really false, that's false nine nine on you because I do that sometimes.

If I get on the train out yeah yeah, yeah, you just never know. Yeah, if I get on the A train and somebody is like smoking myth on the train, I'm gonna make it look like, yeah what I got on me?

I might like myth too.

I have no idea how to make that look realistic. I just look like I'm masterdaying. Like this guy's just jacket.

You're better off. Just keep your eyes low, keep your eyes low, don't get noticed.

Or I just got I'm British and I got this guying a different sports. They got this guy, he's probably got a pocket form of acids. Yeah, hey, watch out for him. Bro's unhinged.

I said, in my right pocket, I got I got machete in the left. He'll get anti socialism motherfucker on this train.

I will not.

I will not ask you a question about you. What you do for a little bit, what you want to say up right?

Ship Damn. I was just there's there's this whole genre of UK meme that I love. That's all puns where it's like I was just at the restaurant and I had leftovers and the waiter asked, you want to box? And I got up and I lumped them. You melt, Yeah, just like boxing shit, Yeah, yeah, we use our brains. I'm not brawn window or isle window ale what you knock him out to melt?

The guy gets punched and that was a really good pun. Actually it is all right. I didn't think about that speech enough taken in a while. All right, Brighton one, west Ham one. I think the one thing what a well that seemed like a handball at the end maybe for Brighton for that last goal.

Did you see that? Yeah, well that was a weird one they did.

If that one was, I mean, if you go back to the Newcastle game two of the funniest hamples I've seen a long time, too clear cup, but that one was a weird one where they were like, I think they were like, let's just I saw them do agree though, when it like touches a bit of your.

Arm off, I'm like, yeah, it gets caught in there.

If you go for the volleyball technique like the bundley lad then I'm like, that's definitely a hamble.

He was just trying to get that now. Bill was not great, not great, but the Jared Boen goal was great.

Darren Bowen, Jared him and Callum Wilson two guys who seem like they're playing football against what they'd like to be doing. It seems like they both would rather be somewhere else pretty consistently.

Jared bon Yeah, he always seems to be like he always seems to be like in a game, I'm just sick inside of playing with his slow he's slow lumps and he goes, I'll do it.

You know that guy in football used.

To if you played as a kid, it's just like the one guys, I'll just run around everyone in the score. He nearly got this amazing assist. He went around like three people he's like, yeah, he's a he's a good player players.

I'm surprised he's still on west Ham, Like, I guess the window has made me passed.

Why why Danny Dyer's daughter is married to him? Oh, Danny Dyer is like he's Art Boots west Ham fan. He's like and he's like he's like he's up there with the King for like British Royalty. Danny Dyer, he's gone full circle. You know, he's been in all the football hooligan movies. Yeah, and you don't want to piss off Danny Dice.

I think he's he's tied in so you Oh, so he's truly like he's worried about the implications about him leaving Steven Jenen. I remember, yeah, I remember to kill his family.

Yeah, allegedly allegedly, we don't allegedly it was that one of those company.

But if you do, I got a lot acid with your name. Yeah, better watch all of these peacoat pop soaked in it. So I'll give you a hug. You better watch the funk out.

And then as of this recording, we haven't seen the United Wolves result, but we're guessing what's going to be.

Yeah, the funniest predictions. I think it's just going to be one of I like that. I could also see hilarious. Yeah, but draw the Wolves Wolves. This Wolves team might be the worst team United. I think they should.

They should be able to this used to I remember many years decades ago, when you saw United versus Wolves, You're like, Okay, well this is going to be a fucking mop job. Yeah, but I think I don't know. I like to think that United is somewhat ascended, but you never know. You never know with them, you never know.

They're they're doing there at that level where Emmerm is just about staying in his job but not doing well enough to be an issue for anyone.

But we'll see. They played on Thursday, so they might si it Tied boys, Tied boys.

He's definitely doing that thing where he's putting together just enough nice moments where the fuckery gets momentarily for god, like a bad boyfriend where it's like he did cheat on me, but he's been making me breakfast on my meals this week, and he trow me to work, he picked me up from work, and he's got a job.

Yeah, he took my aunty to the hospital and put gas in my card. Yeah, exactly, filled up my tires. He's like, but girl, he cheated on you, but I don't know, recently cheated with the tire tech at Costco.

And look and look got me the all new those are all look check the indicators on there, radio and caters are not worn down.

I know last time. Remember he got me those used ass tires of where they were all worn down there? Any girl, you do not need anymore? Okay, I'm sorry, I'm gonna say bicycle leave hell.

All right, let's take one more break and when we come back, let's just round this thing out because guess what the World Cup is this summer, and it might be I don't know. It could be in La unless the President takes away matches from cities, which would be so funny.

Stay tuned to see which one of us was runner up for the FIFA Peace Award. Oh yeah, yeah, yes, did finish.

One of us did, And that reveal will happen right after this and we're back.

World Cup twenty twenty six that is happening in Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterey, Houston, Dallas, Kansas City, Atlanta, Miami, Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia, New York, New Jersey.

But technically that ship is New Jersey time, New Jersey. Shout out to new work. That was very impressive.

I'm reading a list, but you said it, did it really fast, and you said it all correctly, which based on the draw quite everyone.

Can say names of places as well as you do. Oh my god, all right, so yourself from credit. We'll get to that. We'll get to the draw itself, the physical draw itself.

But some of these groups, I'm just curious, anything pop out to you the obviously this is I mean as so many as an England amount of you guys.

You guys got a World Cup. I'm watching it going.

Scotland have gone easier group than England, as they should. That's fair enough as they should, I guess to be fair to England. The qualifying teams we played was so pump. Yeah, like it's you've got to play some good teams at some point. But England crow Shaghana that's going to those three are tough. Panama, you know, is pretty much a gimme.

But it's a pretty bad Ghana squad. Yeah, is it bad? I mean in comparison to the past. Yeah, world class the same. Yeah, you're not dealing with and they barely want to show brothers. They barely want to show up the camp. I do, I forget.

But good thing about World Cups is when you get seeming professions who come and they're like they've already had a massive argument, they've gone full most Salah with each other, like before they get there, and then people leave early.

Yeah. Roy Keane with Mick McCarthy just gets pissed off.

This feels like so I mean, like, I can't believe there's afkhon in January and then they're playing the World Cup.

I'm like, are y'all trying to not win a World Cup?

So I've been trying to decide if it's a plus or a minus. The plus is they get more reps together. Sure, but the bers you guys are.

Going to end up Well you say that though, but again I think the equalizes the weather, right because you know two Chills already talking about England's subs staying indoors. I'm like, that's not a good sign. That's not a good sign. He's like, so they don't get too hot, and I'm like, if you're talking about that and you go, is that smart? Yeah, it sounds if I'm Garner, I'm like these pussys. Yeah, these guys, these guys have got

So that's a tough one. There's I was just saying you all the groups.

It's obviously the biggest World Cup there's been, right, this is the first one with forty eight teams.

I believe it was that. Yeah, I don't know.

Definitely they weren't going all the way to L before. Don't and by the way, don't put me in group L. Yeah yeah yeah right, call it something else. Yeah yeah, group double A.

Just get your last year once you f to start making double letters exactly.

I'm with you. Oh no, this was the last one with thirty two teams. This one was the forty eight teams.

Cutor was yeah, yeah, yeah, so this is what I mean, there's more teams. I thought, but actually, you know, everyone's like true, but he seems don't change anything. In football, but actually it's it's there's a lot of good groups. There's a lot of what do you think is the group of death? What you are like one you've got marked out that aside from from of yalls. Yeah, I feel honestly, I feel like the France group's pretty tasty s because Norway a quality you know what Senegal identity?

What is money? Still play for them?

I know that Norway great, Norway did great and qualifying, but I kind of I'm not I'm not ready to shuck them off just yet.

I'm not question Yeah, I know mine, what do you take for the for the listeners overseas?

I'm using American terminology all right, what it's going to take for me to suck off Norway?

I mean it's Americans, But I think it's very much.

A you.

Specific keeps true, he keeps wiping the corners of his mouth. Bring it back to having a hand, penis.

I just don't know if having two stars is like enough in a World Cup when you got when you're looking at France, you're telling me France's back line can't stop Holland.

I've watched them, Like do you say that?

But I do you think a lot of international teams, Like if you look on the history and then there's a lot of like just solid players and then you have like two two or three guns can get you along way.

So and also there's always going to be some big team that absolutely fucks the bed once they get to the tournament, and that's a.

Good one them. It's usually just normally Holland as well.

Who do you think is gonna yeah, right, brazila Brazil are a bit of a box brazila not.

I think they're just great. They didn't yeah they could, they could be the you know, because no, people don't really watch a meltdown.

I just think they'll just be meddling for how good they can be. I feel like people who are primed for a straight up meltdown don't have.

A tough time with Portugal.

Surely, Yeah, you're now getting his band, like, uh, imagine.

They lose that first game, He's going to be he'll be sucking up everyone's net. He'll just could He's not gonna take that. They're worse when he plays.

Yeah, but you know it's not but it's it's you know, it's weird, but you know, yeah, I'm surprised he didn't get.

The one see one group that I mean in past I thought I would have been would have been interesting, would be the group E with Germany, Knee Ivory Coast Ecuador and Curricle. No, gret skis the brother we just watched, just sawd Kaco. It's Karaco. Why are we? Why?

Why be petulant? Wat's horrible out of for being a white guy. That was by the way, Oh my god. So it was like watching every It was like listening to every white co commentator in the UK try and pronounce a foreign plays.

Oh yeah, or it was like probably that one.

I feel like it was World Cup two thousand and six, where they only had American commentators in the US broadcast of the World Cup. It was for somebody who watched already a ton of European soccer football that hearing those guys. One guy called kept calling Dan Zona dene Zidane, and it was like what Zonadan.

Yeah, they made the college basketball guys do a little too much. They got them out of their depth, man way out of their death.

Like the most they had to do was like maybe like a Dominican guy's name or something make in terms of flavor.

Yeah, once in a while, like maybe one guy's Croatian. Yeah, maybe one. Yeah, but even then he's like, bright, I don't know how to do with the other ones. I just know Sorrich what the fuck?

But yes, Wayne Gretzky, So the fucking draw was such a spectacle. I had to check out an hour in when I was like, what is going on every draw?

Let's be honest though, Yeah, yeah, ridiculous is bad unless it's Rod Stewart being hammered. Do you remember do you ever see no, look up Rod Stewart. He's completely ship faced doing the drawer for the f A Cup. I'm pretty sure does he do his shoulder at any point? Just he gets so excited, told you when he picks the ball out, he just looks. He's that perfect level of happy drunk. He's like, it's probably he's just like he's the guy.

Don't be so excited about this.

That was entertaining, But this was, to be fair to gret Ski him getting all the names wrong made it's highlight.

Is a highlight. Yeah baby did it? Oh he was doing it for the Scottish Cup, the Scottish Cup, that was it? Yeah? It st men. You can see in his eyes of the President of the Scottish Oh yeah, thank you David. Yes, yes, dam the town. Okay, we take time. Yeah, yes, mate, that's what I'm talking about.

I gotta get real close to the Lenz. So the people at home conceded and being married to the Scottish women. I'll tell you that's the cybris Man in Scotch. All right, So the draw though I did. I did catch part of Lauren Hill. I did text the group. I said, Laurren Hill is performing Lost Ones right now.

Lauren Hill for people who don't know, Okay, I don't know what people know about Warrenhill from the Fuji's. In her own career, she's notorious for not showing up to her own performances. I have tried to see Lauren Hill twice in my life.

Yeah. One time fully canceled, the other time late nine she said two times. Yeah, I wish I could time. Oh wow, come on, guys, Wow, British guy knows the Fuji references. He was locked in white British.

Anytime she's one time, you can tell how much money exactly she needs the bread. If you see Lauren Hill at her concert, just know she's nobody and needed that money.

Somebody in her family maybe needed a presidential pardon, right, or it was ten before performance nights and often yeah maybe maybe, but her ass was there. She was doing lost ones great. I was like, can I just can we just see them? Fucking what are the fucking groups? This is where Wayne Gretzky comes in, because my god, they had different people from different countries. Of the host countries do some of the draw Wayne gretz Ski obviously hockey icon, but a lot of people are.

Like, bro, this guy cannot read any of the names. And I gotta say, if you're about to do the fucking televised World Cup draw, maybe go over what you might be reading.

I ask one of them people with the headset. Yeah, but again yeah right, any number of people with sets running around.

The classic that's the classic, like rich famous dudes. Yeah, I'll pull this together.

I go this. I'm gonna smoke to a scene. Yeah you and that ship was just Adina Menzel. That wasn't even a crazy name. But here's Wayne Gretzky saying stuff like Karaco, where I learned how to say. I guess it's cross out. Okay, we got the winner, Denmark north Lord Macedonia. Check, do you know what the macadamis? Right? Yeah, he was hungry Macedami and North Macdonie. Is that what they can hear? The balls? He thought it was Macadamian. Yeah,

Honestly, I'm gonna gi him a pass on Turkey kids. That's that's a new one that we are now calling. Yeah, Turkey put a hair piece on their own country's name. They hair transplanted their own title. They put the light on top.

They said you know what that like that like, we're thriving economy now thanks to bold men.

So the country which Maddy cash cash needs to go to this stand, we can grow bangs now. Yeah, it's Turkey. A yeah, Jordan Jordan. That's the best one, old, the best one. Wayne Gretzky.

Okay, so Wayne Gretzky, as we know, as millennials as you and especially I know, all right, but especially in North America, right there were only like there was an era when it was Joe Montana, Wayne Gretzky, and Michael Jordan.

Ninety two to ninety eight, you know what I mean, be more specific. Yeah, these were a few of the only people on TV. Honible mentioned the junior sayout yes, yeah, he made a lot.

Of appearances, Treykeman in and out of that, but Joe Montana had that aura tour. Yeah, Wayne Gretzky, the great one, Michael Jordan. You know, Wayne Gretzky, what the fuck was he thinking? Why would he call it?

Tell you what he's thinking. He's gone, see's the way Jordan. He guys, well, that's how that's Michael Jordan's name. And he can't there's not waynamic country the same, you know, he goes, Michael Jordan's team have probably been on the phone to them, gone, you can't say it the same.

Yeah, I'll sue you. So you gotta you gotta, you gotta just slightly. Ye, twist on it. I don't even know if you can't country and he's got Jordan. He went Jordan jor Dan okay?

Which is which is a hockey move? Yeah, there's definitely a couple of Jordan's and the.

Because as a britt though, if I heard that, be like, maybe that's just how Americans said. It's nice to know from Americans. Yeah, yeah, no, that's just how Wayne Gretzky says it.

Jor Dan Okay? What else you got? Yeah? I mean uh he He was also given a little bit of Joe Namath, uh coming back football, Susie Colbert, the Susie Colber interview. Do you know about the Susie Colbert interview with Joe Broadway Joe Nama The defense is struggling. Oh, I could care less about the team's struggle. I just want to kiss you. That's an American sports moment. Love. Yeah, I believe everything that anyone else to watch Chad play.

So, Wayne Gretzky, unlike Rod Seer or Joe Namath, doesn't have an excuse of being ship faced. Yeah, he was a sober man trying his best at work and getting it so wrong. I happily have a section on this podcast where we just watch drunk interviews and draws.

Yeah, there's other ones. What else we got? I mean the copa lead, the door has got to be They got to be a little too.

Jennifer Jack grealish after they won the treble. Oh yeah, yeah, then there was that? Was that the one when he was asking if he pulled up on a re asking someone. I was like, oh, do you think you could beat so and so on a foot race? And oh yeah, sucker what?

Yeah that was a back I think Kyle Walker was not that Kyle Henri backs himself against Yeah. Yeah, in any case, you have to be mentally ill like Henri to play like that. So I salute I salute him.
