Unexpected Victory & Key Performances
00:03:15
Speaker
streaming from the car off a hots spot absolute incredible scenes folks. And it w we witnessed tonight at B. C. 3-0 aggregate lead. No, I guess I'll start with you because you said when when when this matchup got finalized a couple weeks ago, we were talking about how we felt about it, our confidence levels,
00:03:36
Speaker
ah how are we how we were feeling. And you said you were very confident. You said, I think that ah the Seattle Sounders can take this team. I'm not really that worried that they were one of the best teams, if not the best team in MLS for a lot of last year. I'm not that worried about Tommy Mule. And, you know, I was kind of a little more cautious, a little more apprehensive about it. But when we were first talking about it, I was saying, like, I agree with, ah I'm more towards your confidence level than I am terrified. But then as the center back situation devolved and more injuries popped up and I kind of looked at this Whitecaps team more, they have been absolutely balling the last couple of games. I did not think a 3-0 was anywhere in the cards for this match tonight. ah
00:04:23
Speaker
what You did have Paul Arreola scoring a brace. you definitely do not have that. Paul Areola gets on the score sheet twice. All Paul goals tonight. But Noah, why were you so confident going into that game? And what do you think about this performance tonight? Kind of validated what you what you predicted. I didn't give you credit. Like you called this. you know I am a vibes guy, right? Like I'm a vibes guy through and through. It's less about tactics. It's less about, it's just how I feel about matches.
00:04:52
Speaker
It was hard for me to feel this this was a game to be scared of. We're good on the road. They're road dogs. The Sounders are always road dogs. And you have a bunch of guys who, like I said, are wanting to prove themselves. Paul Oriola getting a start. I saw that happening and I was like, dude, this game's over.
00:05:10
Speaker
He's going to, he's like, this game is absolutely over. He is going to make some magic happen. So I don't know. I just was never scared. It was just a feeling.
00:05:20
Speaker
It's sometimes you get a feeling and sometimes you need to be in the right lane to turn. And that's what I'm doing right now. Yeah, and you trusted your gut with your prediction for the game, and you trusted your gut with the lane change right there. I was absolutely masterful as we get on the correct course to the Canada-US border. But yeah, I think Paul Rothrock, we were at his scrum after the game, and he told us, that the kind of thing in the locker room right now is the Seattle Sounders Roadshow. Yeah. Because they're playing so many road games. Seven straight away from Lumenfield. Seven straight away is crazy. Seven straight away from Lumenfield, the Seattle Sounders Roadshow. And they came through tonight. Maybe Jeremiah should sit in the middle seat. Paul Areola, let's go through the shout-outs. There's so many shout-outs to get to from this match. But Paul Areola, one year and one day since he did his ACL in CONCACAF Champions Cup, and he comes back. We've been saying how excited we are to see what he can do with this team. We've been watching him for years on FC Dallas, DC United, and in Liga and Mackey. So we knew what type of player this guy was. But the fan base didn't get to see it last year because he was injured so early in the year.
00:06:32
Speaker
That's what Paul Areola can do, guys. i but i I was telling you, he looked in that cameo, that last cameo, he looked like he did when he was playing for FC Dallas, when he's playing for Cholas. He is a man possessed. ah A lot of people in chat are asking for the Jackson Reagan update. He's alive. Per Brian Schmetzer, he is a tough kid and he's fine. So that was the extent of Schmetzer's update. But I can tell you that when we were down by the locker room for the interviews, I did get visual confirmation of Jackson walking around. Looking pretty much normal. He wasn't limping. He didn't look woozy. He looked fine to me.
00:07:10
Speaker
And there was no, there was nothing. Original reporting. There was, yeah. Breaking news right now. I visually saw Jackson Reagan by the, by the locker room, walking around, talking to people, looking fine.
00:07:21
Speaker
So I don't know if that means anything as far as like severity of the injury or if he's going to miss time. There's seven lanes. What is Canada, dude? I don't understand. We got no green arrow. So yeah, just, you know, get out there in the intersection, take command of the intersection. Driving in Canada, folks, it's ah this country. We've had an absolute adventure, but up Paul Areola, I mean,
00:07:47
Speaker
J.O., what do you what do you think of ah Paul Areola's performance tonight? I mean, I think that's the easy man of the match, but what do you think are the implications of what he can bring to this team now that he's back and looking like Paul Areola?
00:07:58
Speaker
i I do think it's he's going to be able to bring a level of veteran savviness. You know, one of the things I will notice that he did on all – Well, he did it three times.
00:08:09
Speaker
He made the run that you don't, you know, he made a hard run to the middle of the pitch. He got the ball all three of those times. The first one was, you know, a little shaky. He he collects ah a misplayed ball with a chance right in front of goal. Takeoka comes up with a big save.
00:08:26
Speaker
But then he does it two more times, and both times he's rewarded. And I think that's what the Senators sort of need is they need someone just making those hard runs off the left wing. and That's also not so dissimilar, to that I guess, than what Rothrock's been doing from that spot too.
00:08:41
Speaker
So that's going to be a good battle. I did assume that this was going to play as a 3-4-2-1, but it really did play as ah as a 4-2-3-1. He was an out-and-out winger, I would say, on the left side.
00:08:55
Speaker
there It was nothing but good things, I think, coming out of this. JL, was 3-0 even on your radar? Because it really was not for me. Like, I would have considered 0-0 a pretty good result tonight. would have considered 1-1 an actively good result tonight. I would have considered 2-2 an actively good result tonight. 3-0? Like, wow. No, I jokingly said, think, 2-1. Yeah, we all said, you said 1-1.
00:09:19
Speaker
think I said 1-1. I said 0-0. But, yeah, 3-0, that's much beyond what my expectations are. Well, and let's be clear about something. Like, I know that the Seattle just worked that team. That team is absolutely – They hadn't – it's conceded one goal. They conceded one goal all season.
00:09:35
Speaker
They have been absolutely destroying teams for the last two weeks. They were absolutely destroying teams for all the last year. That is –
00:09:44
Speaker
teams in Major League Soccer right now that yeah Seattle Sounders just did that too to run through their resume. They won the Canadian Championship last year. They went to both the MLS Cup and CONCACAF Champions Cup finals.
00:09:56
Speaker
They finished they finish tied for the most points in the Western Conference. And then they were lead they were tied for the most points in MLS this year.
00:10:06
Speaker
So this is a a team that is coming off a historically great season and was off to a very good start this year. And the Sounders just boat raced them. They made them look infantile. Like, Thomas Muller was not even...
00:10:20
Speaker
and He wasn't even a thought in the brain of Kalani. Until the end when he hit that ball off the crossbar. Yeah, yeah. But ah even, like, I didn't think Seb Berhalter, who, you know, we love Seb Berhalter. We're big subby things. We're Seb heads. But he did not really do all that much tonight.
00:10:34
Speaker
The Whitecaps had a couple of – there was the one – Steph Fry. Let's talk about Steph and Fry. Yeah, that's a good, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Schmetz announced that Stephen Fry was the starter for this tournament. I was talking about it on ah Under the Lights this week.
00:10:47
Speaker
I was, you know, I wasn't like anti that move. were just hesitant. Well, hesitant, but also, you know, my thought was like, you know, if you have a number one, then you have number one. And like what they did last year, starting the number two in leagues cup.
00:11:01
Speaker
I think leagues cup for me is a type of tournament where like you, I'm i'm more inclined to like rotate, I guess. Whereas CONCACAF champions cup, I guess I personally value more. And I figure like the, the number ones, all the number ones should be playing in these games. And also it's like, Andrew Thomas is, he's the future. He's going to be the one who's going to be the goalkeeper in these games for the foreseeable years coming up. So what what's, like, to be gained, really, by not having him be in the tournament? I said all this stuff. But then, you know, Stephen Fry makes – that was the best – that was one of the better Steph Fry saves I think I've seen. Like, that was – He had a couple of absolute dime saves. Like, he looked –
00:11:42
Speaker
you the one um The one in particular I'm talking about. The i head her up the header off That is an unbelievable save. And that, you know, that very easily could have been a ah goal that could have changed the complexion of that of the game. At that point, I think it was already 2-0, but if they make it 2-1 right there, ah that could change things. So Steph Fry steps up. and let's
Player Highlights: Roldan & Ferreira
00:12:05
Speaker
all rate before the That was the play right before they scored the third goal. yeah Yes, yes. You're right, yeah.
00:12:10
Speaker
So, like, big-time stuff from the goalkeeper. Like, I got nothing to say about him starting the rest of this tournament, really. Like, I think he showed tonight that Steph Fry still got it. He still got it. Age 40, going strong. ah Alex Roldan. All right, I said – going into this that if they were able to pull off like a positive I said if they were able to win this game with Alex Roldan starting at center back that it would be one of the most impressive accomplishments in club history but like and he his lights out well but like I think i think we got to give Alex Roldan center back a little bit more that's I've been saying this. That's what I'm saying is like watching how the game actually played out. It's like it's not even that crazy or impressive. That's just like what he does. He might just be a really good center back. He might just be better at center back than he is at wing back. I'm telling you people. I've been trying to evangelize this.
00:13:00
Speaker
Alex Roldan.
00:13:03
Speaker
I don't know. Maybe maybe permanently leave him there. That's all I'm going to say. That's all I'm going to say. I mean, like, it's kind of hard it's kind of hard to argue. just Like, they have been just ripping clean sheets since last year with a right back playing center back. I want to say they are 4-0-1 when he starts at center back.
00:13:21
Speaker
And they just never – like, the defense was great tonight, but he – like, he I don't think I've seen him make a really bad glaring mistake. And that's what I'm worried about every time is it's like – There was one play early in the game where he got the ball taken off of him.
00:13:37
Speaker
but they they recovered just fine and it wasn't that big of a deal. Yeah, like ah my my whole worry with a someone playing center back, especially out of position, is it's like, you know, all it takes is one minor lapse in positioning of where you're at on the field. And it's really hard to make it through these games without that happening to people who play center back.
00:13:59
Speaker
And he doesn't really play center back. I mean, he does now. Jackson made that lapse and he bailed him out. Yeah, so it's like I really – I think this has put me at the point where when they have to run Alex at center back, I'm not going to be scared of it anymore. Like he can just do that. Like the fact that he was able to do that against this team who has Tommy Mule out there, Seb Berhalter out there, all Brian White. Did you guys notice Brian White at all tonight it all? No, he didn't start, but he came in the second half and didn't do anything. It didn't do anything.
00:14:31
Speaker
So you got to credit the whole defense. What a performance from the back line. But Alex Roldan, center back is quickly, it's becoming the stuff of legends. I just love my agendas hitting. I love my agendas hitting.
00:14:43
Speaker
At the very least, I think he's got to be your third choice. He's got the he's got to be the first center back if Yamar and Reagan is part it. playing better than Kim Keehee. That's what i'm saying. Exactly. that's why I'm saying that he is a better third option than anyone else on the roster. Yeah.
00:15:00
Speaker
right now. yeah He gives me the same confidence that John Bell did, honestly, even a little bit more. Maybe more. more I think more. yeah Which is crazy to say, because if we all love John I mean, if you have to play him in the middle of a back three, i would feel much better about Alex than anyone other than Absolutely. reagan The Seattle Sounders just whooped the Vancouver Whitecaps so badly that Pete Kingston and andinno lopez Tino Lopez was out there at the end.
00:15:26
Speaker
You had Pete out there at the end. That almost felt like kind of just like – It was a little – Like rubbing it in little. Yeah, like bullying. And I know it it was in reality more with an eye towards ah San Jose on Sunday. Schmidt said that he put Tino out there at the end because Tino's going to have to start. He is going to have to start on Sunday, which, you know – You kind of emptied the tank in this game. We'll see what the lineup looks like on Sunday. I don't really care about that game that much, to honest with you. If you throw Pete and Tino Lopez out there against the Quakes ah and they lose that game, whatever. like you're
00:15:58
Speaker
CCC is real now. yeah like This was always going to be a very like one of the better opponents you were going to have to play in this tournament. Now you've got three role goals on them, yeah kept the clean sheet, and up next – you get the winner of an FC Cincinnati Tigris series, who since he beat them three to zero tonight, I believe. yep so if you get FC Cincinnati up next, that FC Cincinnati team is good, but they're not better than like this Whitecaps team. And so at this point, we're talking about like this result tonight, this performance tonight, this gives this team a real chance to make a run in this tournament. They have put it all out there.
00:16:35
Speaker
for them to like go actually go and get this thing, which is a, it's a great place to be after leg one. I mean, you really, i don't think you could have drawn up a better performance or result than this three road goals in the bag.
00:16:49
Speaker
You keep the clean sheet. I was at the point when they were up to zero where I was like, I feel like so I still feel like shutting the Whitecaps out in this game is a big ask. But 2-1 I would take, man. I mean, at one and halftime you're up 1-0. I was thinking if they could just take this result home, that's a great response. Yeah, just sit on it. Just sit on it. like you knowt But then I did have the thought at halftime, guys, like, all right, you have a Whitecaps team that just got punched in the mouth. They are not used to this.
00:17:16
Speaker
they are going to be rattled and they are going to be desperate coming out in the second half. And that is actually going to provide you a chance to get this second goal. And then, and then if you get that second goal, you'll see, we'll see what happens after that. But ah just the extent to which they were able to kind of throw this white caps team off their game and, and, and,
00:17:37
Speaker
rattle them like that not easy to do but also it's like that's the thing about these series is the the more the other team gets in the hole the more desperate they get and that's when these things can kind of spiral like that i think that's what you saw happen in the second half the whitecaps were so desperate to get that equalizer that they were leaving all kinds of space at the back for seattle to uh counter let's uh let's shout out to osaze de rosario all to play in KKR. What a team goal that was.
00:18:06
Speaker
But give Osaze his credit for, – He's been a good playmaker. Well, and – And had some good hold-up play in this game. Exactly. The dirty work, man. like Especially early on when the Sounders were struggling to get – like, hold possession.
00:18:20
Speaker
He was doing a lot of the the dirty work to to gen to just kind of keep the ball and – And allowing the Sounders to settle down a little bit when, you know, I thought – Even Schmetzer said he thought they their position was good in the first half. I really thought the Sounders were under it a little bit, and the score was probably flattering in terms of the run-up play. It was a very open first half. Way more than I expected. So I guess shout-out to both teams for that because a lot of times – It was a really entertaining – Yeah, and a lot of times in these games, like, it gets it's real cagey to start it off.
00:18:52
Speaker
And both of these teams were like, no, we're just going to play our game. That's what Jesper Sorensen said that his team was going to do at his press conference this week. I feel like that's pretty much what Seattle always does. So that was, ah that was, it made it a much more fun game to watch. And obviously we had a lot of fun watching it.
00:19:08
Speaker
ah But you know what we haven't talked about yet? And I'm just shocked. Jesus Ferreira. Oh my God. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Have we, my preseason take was Jesus Ferreira will be an MVP caliber player. All right. He doesn't have the goals yet. I don't, I don't care. And you're got fried for that by the way. And I don't care.
00:19:26
Speaker
Four assists. Four games. Four assists. And then let's let's talk about this assist. Let's talk about this assist because that that play is Jesus Ferreira, I think, in a nutshell. He was fantastic tonight, especially in the first half, man. He was running and pressing and working hard like he always does. He had he had the cross on the almost Paul Areola goal, the first one that he ended ended up missing.
00:19:53
Speaker
But he made a great play on that. But then for the the positions that he wins these, he wins possession in guys. Like this team gets so many dangerous opportunities and so many goals because of that work that he puts in.
00:20:07
Speaker
And he has not during his time on this team always been rewarded for that on the stat sheet. He is not the type of goal scorer on this team that he was earlier in his career with FC Dallas. But what he is, is a demonic, high pressing playmaking winger. That is rack and assist like no one's business right now. He played incredible tonight. You're right. and and And dude, I think he's a big reason for this result because they needed someone to step up and make the play to get that breakthrough opener. And who did it? Jesus again, like he's been doing every game to start the year pretty much. So. hey Honestly, anyone who's still on the anti-Jesus Ferreira agenda, I got nothing for you at this point. Like, I don't know what to tell you.
00:20:48
Speaker
Like, I don't know what else you need say. You don't i don't know never knew ball. You never knew ball. If you were against Jesus Ferreira at any point, you didn't know ball. You were you were bad. You were dumb. You were stupid.
00:21:00
Speaker
Because... Yeah, okay, maybe, maybe oh, well, he he doesn't put up enough goals. for but Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up. Watch his play. If you can enjoy pure football class, then stop watching.
00:21:13
Speaker
the the remote Switch the remote. Turn it to football. Turn it to basketball because you clearly, you have no eyes for the match. for The only equity that I will give to it is no at the beginning of last year,
00:21:25
Speaker
It did not look great. But we I did a whole video at the time and got fried for it. Like, people are calling this guy bust way too early. I've watched him enough to know. Also, he is producing as a playmaker. He's not scoring goals, but, like, he's been producing as a playmaker the whole time. And I think where I'm at with it is just, like, that's his role on this team. He's not the carry-the-load goal scorer. He is a carry the load playmaker and assist provider. And what, like on that, on that, ah on that goal too, what a play to win the ball, but also the unselfishness, man. We saw this team lose a goal in the, in the last game. I don't think it was,
00:22:04
Speaker
selfishness from Snyder. I think he just made the wrong decision on the on the one to Moose that he could have laid off to Moose at the end. Snyder shoots it and they don't get a goal on that play. So again, credit to Jesus for not being like, oh man, people have been talking for a year about how I haven't been scoring enough goals. I got an opportunity right now. Should I take this shot for myself? He could have done that. No, he makes the right play. He makes the unselfish play like he does every time. He does not care about his own goal scoring at all.
00:22:32
Speaker
He cares if the ball goes into the back of the net, whatever means that is. If that's him making the play and getting the assist, he's just as happy. If he's getting the secondary assist, he's just as happy. That's what I love about the guy. Such an unselfish player, such a team guy, such a hard worker. I mean, I can't say enough good things about how he started off this season. And ah just, a man, like Paul Areola, I think you give a man of the match just for getting the two goals a year and a day after doing his ACL. But Jesus Ferreira is right there. he was
00:23:02
Speaker
He was on fire in the first half, and that was a great assist to Paul Areola. I mean, anyone else want to gush about Jesus more? Because I could do it all night. I'm just, b Brian said in the post-match press conference, he said he has the vision of a 10.
00:23:17
Speaker
He is one of those smart, smart, smart players. And How can you not want someone like that on your wing? Like he is, you ah you you effectively have two DP level number 10s on this team right now. Yeah, one just how to you playing at the same time.
00:23:37
Speaker
One who just happens to be playing on the wing.
00:23:42
Speaker
I literally, i don't know what more to say. He is, It is, you know, because, like, he is listed as a winger on the lineup graphics. But I think the reality of how this plays is it's my like, yeah, you got like. Brian had a whole thing about that this week, too. You got two tens. What did Schmetz say? i didn't catch that. Brian, we he was, someone was asking him about Senator Brunel playing right wing. And he's like, how many times I got to tell you, right-sided midfielder is more of a central, more of a pocket player than they are. Cook Schmetz. That's true. like i I mean, I think we've kind of figured that for a while, but like a common thing you hear is like, oh, well, he's you know he's not he's not playing it like a traditional winger, but that's just that's not...
00:24:25
Speaker
That's not not what they're asking him to do. That's not what they're asking him to do. And what he is doing is not like traditional winger stuff, but it is very, he is very effective at it. And I'm glad that he is getting on the stat sheet because I was tired of that.
00:24:40
Speaker
I was tired of having to be like the, the stat sheet doesn't tell the whole story guy. Now the stat sheet is telling the story. This guy is one of the leading assist guys in the league right now, all comps at least. So ah great stuff from Jesus. Also, I'm sorry. Jesus is doing it against the best clubs.
00:24:58
Speaker
Yeah. He's not doing it against like I don't want to hear about how none of this counted. That is one of the best teams in the league. Everything we just saw counts. It should count double.
00:25:09
Speaker
I think we could also give a shout out to Kalani Kosarianzi. Please. You know, he was he was a two-way player tonight. They were asking a lot of him to get up and down the line.
00:25:20
Speaker
And he was, you know, the the play that he makes that sets up the the second goal is absolutely massive. He makes a great run. And then he puts, you know, he it's not the prettiest. He doesn't get an assist on it, but he puts the ball exactly where he needs to put it.
00:25:36
Speaker
It creates all kinds of chaos. And the Sounders capitalize on it. I said on kickoff this week that I felt nervous about what the back line was going to be in this game, but I qualified it by saying that I thought there was a genuine possibility that they would find out that a back line of KKR at right back, Alex playing CB, and then Jackson and Nuhu could be absolute absolute gas. Wait, we didn't even talk about Nuhu yet.
00:26:01
Speaker
Great game from Nuhu. Talk about Nuhu. A couple really good tackles. Like, some amazing tackles. And he was clean all match. His head was in the match. I literally have nothing but good things to say about his play over the last matches. is making the haters look really silly right now. Like, I really think Mark Kastner should call in because what the fuck do you have to say about that from Nuhu? Because, like, dude, I...
00:26:27
Speaker
Listen, I've been very critical of Nugu at times. You were anti-Nugu Brigade for a while. It's it's impossible. he is he is genuinely playing well. he is playing the best soccer that I think I've ever seen him play.
00:26:41

Technical Challenges & Content Creation
00:27:48
Speaker
know it was a longer wait for us to fire this up. Apparently, kawkacat we've been told that CONCACAF not only does not let you...
00:27:55
Speaker
live stream from any part of any of the stadiums for their games, but you also are not even allowed to stream outside with the stadium in the background. That's how much they don't want you covering. They don't want you to cover their tournament. They are against them themselves getting press coverage and people covering their tournament. What,
00:28:16
Speaker
um I mean, I could do a whole soapbox about this, but I'm not going to. I'm not going to. we're going to keep We're going to keep basking in this Sounders win because this really – Should take calls? Should we just take some calls? I just don't know if it's going to bust the mainframe, but we could try. could try. think we should just take calls because, like, fuck it. All right. I'll toss the link. Until we get to the border, at least. I'll toss the link in. Then we are not – We are not streaming at the border. It's true. All right. All right.
00:28:46
Speaker
a Okay, okay. Copy. All right, Chad, I'm going to try this. I'm going to try this. I'm going to throw the – Make sure you don't want to use the wide layout. I wanted to share one more anecdote from tonight. okay I was sitting next to some guys who cover the Whitecaps for the third sub, which is a a quality Whitecaps blog.
00:29:06
Speaker
And they were saying they could not remember a single time during the Yes vs. Sorensen era that the Whitecaps got this badly outplayed at home. just Just add a new comment to the screen and then take it off and shit. This has just not been the Whitecaps MO in the last season plus under Sordinson. No, this does this does not happen to them. no At all. Not even just ah at at home qualifier. like I guess they they did have a couple games last year. Inter-Miami worked them pretty good in and MLS Cup. Cruz Azul. Cruz Azul did. and i they I mean, they were competitive in MLS Cup, but they got worth it today.
00:29:41
Speaker
Yeah. and the em in the but like So, like, there have they had there were a couple, like, outlier games for them last year. But, like, generally speaking, what we just saw tonight does not happen to that team. No. It doesn't.
00:29:53
Speaker
All right. We have got Kenny and Smoke in the queue. So let's see if this works. Adding Kenny to the stage. You'll have up audio on your computer. Okay. Okay. Adding Kenny to the stage right now.
00:30:05
Speaker
ah Wait. Just. i don't think. Okay. Add to stage. It's not working. Just, I don't know. Do this. but Do this?
00:30:16
Speaker
Just start clicking buttons. What could go wrong? Oh, there we go. Yeah. We'll just have a trio. We just have a trio. Kenny, can you hear us? I don't see you. Uh-oh.
00:30:30
Speaker
Oh, shit. I missed the exit. Guys, werere never we're never leaving Canada. Where was that exit? It's taking us to the border. It's okay. Okay. Let's get up to the next one. all right. See, I don't think the calls are working. All right. Well, it's calls are chalked.
00:30:44
Speaker
Calls are chalked. Sorry, chat. Smoke, can you hear us?
00:31:09

Honestly, I'm like pretty happy that the stream is actually still going and that we're actually getting this show out. and I'm not gonna lie, there was a second where I thought that it might not work.
00:31:46
Speaker
So- Ask your questions in the chat and then we can actually answer them. Yeah, yeah. it's ah The tech did not seem to work. We got, we got ken okay, we got Kenny. Let's try Kenny one more time. Okay, yeah.

00:32:46
Speaker
Okay, for accumulation. Okay, I'll take that easy. Yeah, so it's weighted. It's weighted, brother.
00:32:53
Speaker
Kenny, what did you think? dying to get a chicken teriyaki tattoo. What did you think of the match tonight? 3-0, leg one at Vancouver. Were you expecting that or are you a little caught off guard right now? Yeah, I was i was super surprised. You know, we played well. Defense was really like lights out, man. Everybody did their job.
00:33:11
Speaker
And knew who, clearing it off the line, playing goalkeeper with his feet. Love the kick trade. We didn't even talk about that play. or I was talking about the one of the tackles he had at the end. But yeah, he had a goal line clearance. yeah And then yeah if he connects with that bike, if he gets off the ground and buries that bicycle, it ends world hunger.
00:33:33
Speaker
ah it abolishes ice. it That would have been insane. ends conflict in the Middle East, everything. life would have been Life would have been a dream.
00:33:44
Speaker
who else Who else you want to shout out? Either of the Pauls, Snyder? Kalani. okay Kalani Kocirianzi. He loves his pace on the flank. um He doesn't make cheap crosses. He doesn't take those easy crosses, and he looks to get to the end line and cut it back and get him behind his man, with beat his man with pace.
00:34:05
Speaker
um Really, really impressed, and I want to see more of him. um And Alex, so I mean, you guys already gave him his flowers, but I mean, I don't know many other players in the league who can play like that at three different positions like that.
00:34:21
Speaker
and yeah and and like, remember when he had to play goalkeeper? Like, I mean, this guy just does it all. It's crazy. He does it all. Okay, I got one for you guys. I'm just thinking about this right now. when If you had been told that Christian Roldan would be the maybe the last player we were going to shout out tonight because he did not have necessarily a great game and that the Sounders would win 3-0. Yeah, I would not have believed that.
00:34:44
Speaker
I would not have believed that. yeah Yeah. You're crazy. I think Christian's not had his best start to the season, but it hasn't really slowed down the team around him. no Which is, that's that's a good thing because we were really feeling like he was this make or break piece to the team. Especially in the midfield, you lose Obed, Snyder V steps in, he looks great, but you don't necessarily need Christian to have his best match and you're you're still fine. Snyder had a very Obed-like game today where he just consistently was able to break their press with a dribble and and sort of provide some breathing room.
00:35:26
Speaker
uh very i thought it was very very good performance right snyder tonight uh all right kenny we're gonna uh we're gonna get aiden in the queue up next but thank you for calling in man appreciate you uh yeah uh composed new who composed new who is here i'm not getting no more tattoos uh we'll see you down the line noah he's turning over a new east leaf leaf uh all right we got we got aiden in the queue up next no one else in the queue behind him you guys can try and still tap in but uh We'll see if this tech keeps working. That actually did work though. Aiden, going to add you to the stage. here We're not going to be able to see you, but we're hopefully we're going to hear you. Adding you right now. Aiden. Can you mute our stream?
00:36:07
Speaker
Let's go. here ourselves talking a you Okay, Andy just exited the studio.
00:36:19
Speaker
All right, we're going to try and get Aiden back in here when he gets his tech figured out. Spam the link again. No one else in the queue. I'm going to spam this link. but ah Guys, I missed the exit. We're, you know.
00:36:30
Speaker
6.7 miles? we're We're going to the next exit. Okay, all right. It didn't add any time. We're just going to be driving around Canada streaming in Noah's car all night. Guys, we're never going going home.
00:36:43
Speaker
were never going oh What us is there anything that we have in time? Logan, what was your favorite part of the game tonight? Oh, here you go. Debut.
00:36:53
Speaker
Yeah, Logan, debut. Lobbing Scorchers video. Favorite part of the game? ah good least Okay, least favorite part of the game, not being able to shoot any video. Yeah, that was on the field. That was on the field. Kalka Kapp hates.
00:37:09
Speaker
Anything. Can't do anything. con least You get there to cover the game, and they're like, you can't cover the game. What are you doing? Why the song why it why why did you guys come here Why did you not pay for your rights? you're not Yeah, you're not a broadcast rights holder. Get the fuck out of here. but ah Yeah, that was that was a rough start to the match for the content. But ah yeah what about the what about the game itself? did you like?
00:37:30
Speaker
No one's ahead of yet. Alba Rusnak had a great game. He had a great game. Love it. Love it. So it was Rusnak that almost had that stuck in the free kicker. Yes, yeah and that was – oh, I wanted that. yeah I wanted that because that was one of those heady plays where it's like you catch the other team napping, and he made a really smart play. Because a lot of the times I feel like when they try to do that, the ref is always like, no, you can't do that. Bring it back. Bring it back. But that ref, who I thought – The ref had a good game. I thought the white and i know Whitecaps fans will disagree, but all the penalties that they were trying to merchant, he wasn't given. Like that one that AZ Jackson tried to get at the end, like I loved how the ref – No, that shoulder shoulder. But there there are a lot of CONCACAF refs who just don't care and just give that. So I appreciate it that this guy did not do that.
00:38:15
Speaker
But, yeah, no, I think Rusnak did have a really good, really clean game. He almost got once got a couple goals. He almost gets that free kick goal. Shout out, toasty.
00:38:28
Speaker
tota lotez Shout out to the Toastalotes that we got on the way. Those are actually pretty good. I'm not going lie. like I've never had a Toastalote before, but I liked it. so Shout out to them.
00:38:40
Speaker
I think we've shouted out every member of the... Let's let's talk ah Snyder a little bit. J.O., He – I mean, i've been saying him I've been saying that I feel just as just as confident with Snyder out there, honestly, as anybody. But, like, what do you make of just the fact that you got another homegrown midfielder that can throw out in a game like this, in a team – against a team like this? And not only did he hold his own, but he i thought he was excellent. No, he he didn't have a – I mean, I don't think he had a bad – I'm struggling to think of when –
00:39:14
Speaker
he didn't, he looked at all overwhelmed or like he was a plus, he was an added, he was additive. You know what? had better game than Christian rolled on. He had a better than Christian rolled on. You know what I like about him is it's like, well, he's so good in possession. Like you, you, he doesn't lose the ball as much as some young players, but he's also always being proactive. He's always going forward. He's so good at like getting these attacks going.
00:39:37
Speaker
Like nick he reminds me a lot of Obed in that exact way. They play kind of similar in that with that attitude. Like, So just more great stuff from him. i'm I might be more excited about him than, like, anyone on the team right now, honestly, just because he has looked so good dating back to last year. He already has two MLS goals, and he helps this team a lot in attack, like, in a way that, like, that yeah. I've been reluctant to – I know there's been sort of this low-key – um campaign to have him start over Hassani.
00:40:11
Speaker
And personally, I've just been like, eh, I kind of like, I still am willing to give Hassani some time. But on a game like this, it's hard not to connect how good they looked at times with his inclusion.
00:40:25
Speaker
And I, again, I'm not ready to to send Hassani to the bench, but Games like this make you think maybe like ah it could happen. It definitely could happen.
00:40:35
Speaker
He's at the very least going to have to be playing a lot, I think. I mean, so, like, say Hassani is healthy and good to go for the Spokane leg on – Whatever day that is.
00:40:47
Speaker
Wednesday. Wednesday the 18th.
Strategic Player Rotations
00:40:51
Speaker
Are you starting Snyder? Are you starting Hassani? I mean, I think you probably start Hassani because my assumption he's concussion protocol so is that won't be able to play on Sunday against San Jose. So Snyder has to play that. So Snyder's probably to have to play. So just from a rest perspective, you're probably going to want to do some rotation there.
00:41:12
Speaker
But that's the only... If not, if that was not the case, I think I would rather, you know, if Hassani could play on Sunday, I think I'd rather play Hassani on Sunday and Snyder against Vancouver. Yeah, that's kind of where I'm at as well. Noah, what do you think?
00:41:27
Speaker
I just want him every day, every minute, every second, every hour. i crave. I crave him. I crave his presence on this page. Okay. I also want to shout out Paul Rothrock for recognizing the effort that this crew took to get to Vancouver. No one else did that. He did. He said shout us out. He shouted ah he shouted out Lobbing Scorchers and Sounder at Heart for making the trip. Thanks for coming out, guys. yeah i know no He said, I know it's a hard trip. right I was like, Paul, is it, though? It's not really. No, but that's the, you know, that's...
00:42:01
Speaker
Paul, you know, it's it's a bit. He does it real well. he Listen, he we know he acts like he cares about you. They're watching right now. He's watching right now. Yeah, definitely. Definitely. Thank you for tuning But honestly. Paul Rothrock hits the like button, have you? Shout out. ah Yeah, like the video. Shout out to Paul Rothrock, though, for like a lot of a lot of these goals that this team is getting right now and honestly that they got last year, too. They come down to effort Hustle plays. Hustle plays. yeah And that's what happened on the ah on the first Paul Ariel Olegal, that the hustle from Jesus Ferreira is just awesome.
00:42:33
Speaker
And then Paul Rothrock, like, you know, not every player is busting it to the far post like that when it looks like the cross is coming in for Musovsky. You know, he collapsed. One of the easiest goals he'll ever score. And I guess from the finish and technical perspective, yes. But the run he makes to get into that spot, because there was no reason really to think that ball was getting through.
00:42:55
Speaker
He just makes that run because he knows in the back of his head, if I don't make this run and the ball gets through, going to feel like an idiot. Yeah. yeah And so he does he just does it. He just does it. And then he gets rewarded for that type of stuff time and time again. Exactly. It's a classic, classic poly prime time. This match was Jesus Ferreira and Paul Rothrock duo at their absolute finest. This was the Seattle Sounders at their finest. Yeah. Yeah, it was.
00:43:18
Speaker
A relentless pressing team. The press was excellent. That is able to absorb genuine attacking pressure from talented team, frustrate them enough to open them up,
00:43:31
Speaker
and to finish off the game in the second half. It was a master class. All right, we got Disc Golfer in the queue. We are going to get him on stage right now. Disc Golfer, we can't see you, but talk, and we'll see if we can hear you.
00:43:44
Speaker
Yo, what's going on? Can you guys hear me? yeah that's an absolutely clear Thank you for the invite, by the way. we yeah We got the car stream set up. so i don't know yeah no i but I figured I'm just up in Canada. You know, I'm in enemy territory.
00:44:00
Speaker
Thought I would at least throw the offer out there. but ah are you You're like kind of near the border, aren't you? Yeah, i'm I'm in Bellingham, but ah my partner lives up in White Rock, so I'm up here for the weekend. Got it, got it, got it. Well, ah what did you think of the match tonight? 3-0 for the Seattle Sounders at BC Place against one of the best teams in Major League Soccer. What did you see? What did you think?
00:44:22
Speaker
Man, I needed this one. I feel like even with the results so far this season, I haven't been like like crazy optimistic necessarily, um especially after seeing a lot of talent leave the roster in preseason. And this was just that match that just gets me so hyped up for the season, man. I'm just I'm feeling so much better now.
00:44:41
Speaker
Hell yeah. What was your what was your favorite part of the game? Oh, my favorite part was ah probably ah texting all my Canadian friends as it was happening and counting down each goal. It was great. I told them Sounders were going win 15-0.
00:44:57
Speaker
um I was off, but ah I was closer than they were.
00:45:02
Speaker
Their fan base was feeling very confident about this series. But honestly, rightfully, that team has earned confidence right now. And so I think that's what makes this performance from Seattle all the more impressive is that that was a team that has not only been playing really well, but is feeling themselves. And now Seattle's going to be feeling themselves on the whole ride back. But what else did you see out there, disc golfer? you I was happy with Snyder B. Very impressed with how Snyder B rocked in the midfield there. Looked super composed next to Christian, who, you know, didn't have the best game, but I'm not that stressed about that. We have a big enough sample size of Christian Roldan being awesome. He's had enough good games where I'm willing to give him one. Exactly. Especially where they win 3-0.
00:45:46
Speaker
yeah Yeah, yeah. Just everything. It just, you know, the Pauls. Jesus looked great. The def defense. Alex rolled on, man. I know you guys were talking about it earlier, but my God. Talk about him more.
00:45:56
Speaker
He's just he's just a stud. He just comes in out of nowhere. um You know where he's played everywhere on the field now. Has he played striker or left winger yet? I think they got to put him up there. they They asked him about that the other day and he said, you know, I haven't played striker yet.
00:46:10
Speaker
Okay, so Alex rolled on at Stryker some point this season. Make it happen. um Just so he's played every position. No, that guy's incredible. New Who was a blast to watch. Just everything. Just the vibes are good right now. I'm stoked. I don't have much to say. Just wanted to call in and just, you know, have the good vibes.
00:46:29
Speaker
Absolutely. always We are always encouraged to call in Disc Golf, or one of our favorite callers. So thank you for tapping, and we'll ah we'll talk to you on the next one. Sounds good. Have a good one, guys. Peace out. Bye.
00:46:42
Speaker
All right. That's it for the queue right now. So if anyone else wants to tap in, I'll go ahead and and there I'll hit this link one more time. then maybe read some chats. And then, and yeah, we got a couple more super chats.
00:46:55
Speaker
those and then maybe you look at what else you guys talking about chat what are you cooking on I honestly haven't not really been looking but let's ah let's hit these supers We got a new YouTube member, Parker Jackson. Thank you, Parker. Appreciate you.
00:47:07
Speaker
And we got a five from the Butzel, 9752. Wasn't able to watch, but I see a Paul's hat trick, and I'm happy. Go MFing Sounders. A Paul's hat trick. Every goal scored by a Paul. Two of which. All Pauls. All Pauls. Two of which were scored by ah Paul Areola. I'm very happy for Paul Areola. You could tell, like, we were talking to him after the game. Like, he was so happy.
00:47:33
Speaker
He was stoked. He was stoked because, I mean, you know, actually I think he probably and you know he probably felt like last year he was just about to show what he could do for this team and for the city. Then he didn't get a chance to because he did his knee. Now he's back, and then he has a game like that.
00:47:47
Speaker
i really think that, like, his emergence and just kind of re reintroduction to the bold here. Now let me reintroduce myself. It has big implications for this for this team. This is a very, very high-level player.
00:48:03
Speaker
There's a reason they signed him. There's a reason that – and he was kind of thought of as the kind of afterthought, I think, of the Asus Ferreira trade, but, like, he shouldn't have been. That was – that trade – He any McDonald's. That trade was a – I would definitely – Was a cook. Okay, let's go through the drivers. chat we're gonna go through on the stream yeah we're gonna yeah we're gonna stream the uh we're gonna stream the trip through the mcdonald's drive-thru canadian mcdonald's i'm about to hit a canadian big mac right here it's gonna go crazy we got we got a and w oh and w no aw instead okay okay all right all right i gotta make ui though all right all right wait now can do this

Yeah, totally. Chat. Don't worry. Keep reading them. Keep reading them. We got another super here from SJ0762. New signing Paul Areola. People laughed at that.
00:49:22
Speaker
People laughed at the at the new signing Paul Areola narrative. they so They called it Cope because this team is broke and doesn't spend any money. But it kind of low-key is looking like that right now. Look at that. Look at that.
00:49:38

00:55:22
Speaker
Just like chewing into the mic. I don't know. I don't like that. I think that's fine. Jeremiah was just doing that the whole of the stream. Exactly. I don't like it. I have a thing with that. No, that was, what do they call it?
00:55:34
Speaker
ah and ASMR. ASMR, yeah. Yeah. They go like. Yeah. And then they eat the food. This is really, ah this is honestly exactly what I always thought this channel would be.

Speaker
I got to say, I did not expect us to be streaming from an A&W tonight. i cut of as an under bingo car I want to do a road trip and just stream the whole thing. whole thing? Like, go to a road game and stream the whole thing. see these IRL streamers right now, and I'm like, that looks lame as hell. But we we're kind of doing that. We're kind of doing that. We're those guys right now.
00:56:41
Speaker
Yeah. What's IRL streams? It's like the streamers that literally just stream. Have you heard of iShowSpeed? They am i they' yeah stream their entire day. Oh, like their whole day. Like 24 hours?
00:56:54
Speaker
I mean, not 24. Well, whatever. Like their waking hours? Yeah. Like they get up and they're like brushing their teeth. And they're just streaming. Yeah, pretty much. And people are into this. We have 213 people doing that right now. It's like the big brother of streaming. Yeah.
00:57:08
Speaker
It's a thing. It's a thing. What are you going to do? And now we're kind in that game. got this is a like They got a lot going on around here. They got Mucho Burrito right there. yeah where or i I literally don't know, but there's a McDonald's right here and a McDonald's right there. No. Did you see that? yeah Mac does? macck do I mean, we do that with Starbucks. Also, we're in some random place.
00:57:31
Speaker
There's nowhere open in Seattle right now. I took a wrong There's literally no place open in Seattle right now. We're and just in some random place. right okay The bell's open. yeah but We're in some like random place and there's like five open restaurants.
00:57:46
Speaker
There was a pub around the corner. i mean America. America, what's wrong with us? why isn't well that's ah That's a deep question that I don't think we have enough time to answer. I know Katie's watching this right now.
00:57:59
Speaker
She's got to bring back the nightmare. ah oo i do i do miss like This is a total aside, but... there's just not good late night food. There needs to be good. We were talking about this. We need more food trucks in Seattle. We need trucks. We more food trucks in Seattle. so I learned recently that one of the reasons we don't have the same proliferation of food trucks in Seattle as like Portland is that in Portland, they're allowed to, they're actually allowed to make their food in the truck. Whereas in Seattle, you have to use a commissary kitchen.
00:58:31
Speaker
That makes sense. And just basically reheat Well, the guy who makes my breakfast burritos is definitely cooking eggs on that grill. So... Yeah, maybe there's certain items you can cook. Yeah, it's probably no meat. Right.
00:58:43
Speaker
Game's gone. Did you guys know the make eggs that – who said it? dean smith Dean Smith, Charlotte FC coach, literally said the game is gone at his press conference. Yeah, because his guy got a handball for hit for scoring off of his arm. I was just like, does he listen to Lobby the Squirters? Like, that's what we said. That's what we said, dude.
00:59:04
Speaker
But the thing that he was, did you see what he was upset about? I did not actually. he was upset because they disallowed a goal that came off of his player's arm. And it's like, that's not allowed. Yeah, dude, you can't. That's just not a game. That's a pretty basic rule. No, the game is actually, the game is actually intact. Yeah.
00:59:21
Speaker
The game is thriving. It's intact. And you know who is thriving? The Seattle Sounders. Okay, we got another super chat. Thank you guys for all the super chat. We appreciate you guys. You're definitely going to have to on screen. You're going to have to eat on screen. All right. I mean, I was trying to like, please eat. Look. I was trying to be considerate. Ari, you think any one of these freaks that are watching us right now want consideration?
00:59:47
Speaker
I mean, this is good. This is good. This is good. This is what I needed. I just hope my kids haven't stayed up late to watch this. i know I know for a fact my mother is watching this right now.
01:00:00
Speaker
Hi, mom. Yeah. can I wanted to talk about, I was going to ask you about this. Are we running out of content? Is that what you're saying? no, no. No, we're not. No.
01:00:11
Speaker
What is your favorite away day? Because I love the Vancouver away day. I really like this one. ah Portland is like fine. i like the Portland one. What are we saying? What are even the nominations? Portland and Vancouver and what else? l LA.
01:00:26
Speaker
okay. i've done i've done i mean I've done a lot of them. like I did Minnesota once. i did Okay. oh yeah we You're not saying like road trips. You're saying... Away day. like yeah the whole yeah yeah Fair enough.
01:00:38
Speaker
We did Toronto a couple times. I do like LA. I like doing this trip right now. Our galaxy trip was really fun. But the LA trip was good. I love staying down. If you go to LA, you've got to stay downtown, though. That's the whole Yeah, they don't like it down there. Like, actual LA people don't like it. People in LA do not like downtown. But it's like, downtown feels normal to me.
01:01:00
Speaker
Downtown's like an actual city. Yeah. Like a real place. that's Right. And I think that's what throws her everyone off in LA. It's like, i yeah i need somewhere to park. I got, i I have to park my car.
01:01:12
Speaker
The thing about the Portland ones is the games themselves are usually, like, i pretty lit. Yeah. I like Portland. I don't necessarily like the away days. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I agree.
01:01:23
Speaker
I just i don't like Portland as a city. oh really? You've never made that stance clear. I'm not a fan of the Portland as a city situation. really no it's No, you're good. Thank you so much.
01:01:36
Speaker
Yep, you as well. Thank you. i like that they name all the burgers after age kind weird. Here we go, chat. Okay, should we dole this out before we get on the road here? Yeah, I think not streaming and eating. Well, it's illegal to do that. Streaming, eating, and driving the same time. Yeah, that seems like maybe just a little over the top. Welcome to the Lobbing Scorchers Mokban! Okay, Ari's going to eat.
01:02:02
Speaker
What is that one? I have no idea what is what. Hold on. This is the the booth burger. Wait, it's got it's literally got a kid on it. Wait, it's got it's got a person on it. It, like, says it by person.
01:02:15
Speaker
What's this one? This is like the Unk Burger. Who got the Unk Burger? I got the... Yeah, the Unk Burger. You got the Unk Burger. Look. It's actually called the Burger. Take That looks... The Buddy Buddy.
01:02:28
Speaker
I got the chicken one. This one's mine. I got the chicken. I got the team. This looks like chicken. That might be the team. might be the Oh, no. this i think this is mine. This mine. Is that bacon on it? No. No?
01:02:41
Speaker
Oh, it does. Wait, is that bacon? this one yours? Oh, that's got to be you. That's the biggest one. Did you get the unk one? Oh, there's bacon on this one. Okay, see as CB. All right, this is mine. This is mine. All right, all right.
01:02:52
Speaker
Fry? Fry check? Who wants to fry? wants to try the fry? Get in there. Get in there. I'm hot.
01:03:00
Speaker
That's fresh off the fire. Unsalted. CB. Kind of mid. Pretty bad fry. It was too hot, though. i Hold on. I'm going to give for another chance. Right. Okay. doesn't make any sense but these are not labeled all right i meet my burger chat by your quest oh i see oh there's no no no no this is that one mine no i bet you that one's yours because this is teen this is definitely ten i didn't even get a mark i'm not a fan of those fries i think those are kind ass oh those are not that good yeah not very salty all right here's my chicken burger
01:03:41
Speaker
Yeah, I... We're finally sacrificing... Finally sacrificing your shit. That's okay. That's fine. This is where the sickos... Why is there a whole fucking head of lettuce on here, though? Do you see this?
01:03:54
Speaker
this is... It's rounded. That's excessive.
01:03:58
Speaker
That's too much lettuce.
01:04:03
Speaker
The chicken patty is, like, fine. I mean, good. It's, like, fine. Like, I would not – I'm not to – I'm going to be honest. I'm not going to crave this. No. It is kind of hitting the spot right now. It feels like a good late-night situation, but I can't say that we got really good ramen before the game. I like that. we did, yeah.
01:04:23
Speaker
I can't say that I would – I get the root beer, though. yeah The root beer is fire. It's honestly, i think, the best root beer. Like, with the vanilla in there, it's so good.
01:04:37
Speaker
All right, let'
Soccer Away Days & Stadium Experiences
01:04:38
Speaker
smashed my burger. Do we have any questions in chat? Just start scrolling. All right. Yeah, do you guys got stuff you want us to talk about that's, like, soccer-related? Or not.
01:04:49
Speaker
We got people giving their away day takes. What's some away day takes? Let's see. Let's see.
01:05:04
Speaker
Only done Portland, want to do Nashville and St. Louis. is I'm not in Nashville. would do Nashville. Nashville? I've never been to Nashville. J, have you been to Nashville? RBW did invite us to come out, so. Did he?
01:05:15
Speaker
yeah He wants us to come out. Which RBW almost scored in CCC the other day. And Jeremiah got it incorrect that he thought it was his first start because clearly he's not tapped into the RBW agenda. i I got corrected.
01:05:29
Speaker
i got corrected. I mean, I expect nothing less from a woke, false, and and fake news reporter. I know. We got a Columbus shout-out? Nah. Have you ever been? nah Don't want to go. Okay.
01:05:42
Speaker
What won? What won?
01:05:46
Speaker
a way to have you not done that you want to do? Honestly, Nashville's on there. i want to see Miami's new stadium. Yeah, that's where that, that's one. I actually, i went to Miami for the first time. I like a um couple months ago.
01:06:00
Speaker
So I'm not a fan of Miami as a city, but wasn't that great of a city, but it was, I don't like do Coke. um Yeah. You have to have like a lot of money and do drugs to have fun. there I meant Coca-Cola, but yeah, sure.
01:06:15
Speaker
i'm more of a root beer guy i've done both the uh i've done both the new york stadiums that's pretty that's really yeah i've done the new york the the bowl stadium i hate that stadium i hate that location uh i agree but i like the press box because it's not in the press box they they moved it i know which is tragic because it was actually like so so it was like the highlight of the stadium right in the middle of the stands i think it's more fries yeah
01:06:46
Speaker
RBW had a header that St. Clair saved point blank off a corner. Yeah, DSC decided to turn up, of course, against the one former Sounders player. he's like, oh, done this before. Fucking idiot.
01:06:59
Speaker
He was looking shaky, but he made some good saves. ah These are not we're not good, I'm telling you. Fry's kind of bad. kind Kind of bad, but I think that the how good the root beer is has me not that concerned about the fry.
01:07:11
Speaker
aye I think that's a very serviceable fast food place. It's serviceable. I think that's ah i'm um probably beat McDonald's, although Canadian McDonald's, who knows? move I think it's the same level for me.
01:07:24
Speaker
But we didn't try their breakfast. heard their breakfast is good. Oh, then they do it all day. Should have gotten fucking. Let's go back. Back through the drive-thru. Give me a couple of bad fries.
01:07:37
Speaker
They're in desperate need of some sort of dipping sauce. Yeah, they need some, like, ranch. jeremiah Speaking of ranch-pilled. This is what we should close on.
01:07:47
Speaker
Jeremiah's ranch-pilled argument. Unless anyone else has questions. Yeah, give your ranch-pilled. I have a whole theory about how... You know, Americans love to snack, but for some reason, like especially all the Latino cultures have much better snacks because all their snacks are chili forward and all of our snacks are like ranch forward.
01:08:08
Speaker
okay Oh, that was probably not sounding good.
Caller Logan's First Away Game Experience
01:08:11
Speaker
And I think we've become a ranch-pilled society. As a ranch-pilled society, how do we progress? you know Yeah, it's too dairy. I think it's too dairy-focused. Do you think it's big dairy? Yeah. Or big chip?
01:08:24
Speaker
No, definitely Big Dairy. Big Dairy, yeah. there's way ah America has got to be the only culture where you've got grown-ass adults drinking glasses of milk. what the Logan, did you just call in? No. Okay, someone else named Logan, I think, called in.
01:08:41
Speaker
Yeah. all right, we got Logan in the queue. We're going to bring him to the stage right now. Can you imagine? I think I might be getting trolled right now. Is it you? No.
01:08:52
Speaker
Gary? gary Yo! We got you on now. Logan, what's guys. Hey, I am just driving back. I popped my away game cherry tonight.
01:09:05
Speaker
So super pumped. ah Did not have a passport 48 hours ago. Got the passport. that Secured. it was It was a crazy 48 hours. But i was up in the ECS and just the vibes were great.
01:09:20
Speaker
lot of fun. Can't wait for this season. ah It's going to be a good one. tell us about the ah Tell us about the vibes with ECS and at the stadium. what What was it like watching that performance and that result in the heat of the away fans?
01:09:33
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Well, we have about like 50 people up there. um And it was it was fun. It was a good crew up there. um the We were like right on the touchline I don't know where the broadcast was, but like our, our defended goal on the first half.
01:09:52
Speaker
um And so it was, you know, we had a really great view up there chanting the whole time. it was just good vibes, good, good time, good people up there. So yeah.
01:10:04
Speaker
Yeah, I got no complaints. I did the salmon burger with the salmon bannock burger. it it was It was okay. I don't know how the Junior Burger or whatever y'all are eating for A&W are, but I wouldn't go back for the salmon burger. Okay, they had to say I didn't even see that on the menu.
01:10:21
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. They were doing like prime rib and salmon. and i was they They got a wild menu down there. That is insane. Well, good to know. what was your ah What was your favorite part of the game? Favorite goal or favorite favorite anything?
01:10:35
Speaker
Ooh, I mean, I think that second Paul goal just has to be that. That was great. And I was so sure they were going to VAR that shit. I was not, I thought there's no way. Cause
Fast Food Comparisons
01:10:46
Speaker
I thought Kalani was offside when I like alllanie was on my like, and I could not believe that they didn't, the flag didn't come up. I was like, there's no way they just let that stand. But then I was like, well, i don't even care because I know for a fact, they're going to delay the game for 45 minutes and, they are at off. where I get like, I always go to the place of like, they're going to wave it off, but then they didn't. And I was like, Yeah.
01:11:08
Speaker
is that Yeah. through Yeah, from my angle, I thought he was off sides and I was just getting flashbacks to the home opener where we were like sitting there for so long with all the VAR. But I mean, it was a quick check and that was nice. It didn't like in harsh the vibes up there.
01:11:25
Speaker
But yeah, that one was really tight. It was nice to be on the side of that finally where the goal does not. I feel like this team has lost so many goals. over the last like year on stuff like that so it was nice that it was nice to feel like it was going to get waved off and then be like oh no that's a goal no that's a goal that counts like sure all right let's go yeah
01:11:45
Speaker
Yeah, but anyway, it was a you know long-time listener, first-time caller. Glad you all stopped at A&W. I do think you made the mistake. If they had cheese curds, you should have gotten cheese curds. Yeah, we did. think Logan gave that Your fellow Logan was trying to make a point on that, we ignored I was definitely not. I missed that. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so next time we go to A&W, get the cheese curds.
01:12:11
Speaker
Yeah, I'm from Wisconsin, so I always default to a good cheese curd. I need Culver's right now. Put Culver's, oh my, for for anyone who knows Culver's in chat, it's literally the greatest fast food place in the whole world, I think. It's incredible.
01:12:29
Speaker
What is Carl's Jr.? Doesn't Carl's Jr. have like a, that's Hardee's. That's Hardee's. No, no, no. This is like, think of like, like a Midwestern mom kissed your burger with all of the love in her heart and gave you fried cheese curd that tastes like they have been brought down from heaven above. It is wow one of the greatest restaurants of all time. That's some lofty praise. Their burger is called a butter burger.
01:12:57
Speaker
That's how you know it's like on a different level. Is there butter in the burger? don't know. There's around it. I don't know. They just, like, it's just vast in it. They had commercial when was growing up, a new, like, a tongue twister, a better brand of beef makes a Butterburger better.
01:13:14
Speaker
I have a five-minute border crossing because the other – that was 25. He searched for 20, yeah. All right. Well, Logan, thank you for calling in. Appreciate you, man. And call in again. We'll catch you on the next one, all right? cause that yeah Sounds good. Get home safe, y'all.
01:13:29
Speaker
See you well. Take care. Bye, Logan. Apple Maps and Google Maps doesn't don't account for the border weight. That's true. That's true. So how close are we to the border? right Very, very. Very close to the border. All right. So we're probably going to wrap it. We're probably going to. Yeah, should I just wrap
Closing: Team's Future Outlook
01:13:43
Speaker
it? Yeah, let's wrap it. All right, we're going to wrap it. You're not going to do any feed stuff, Larry?
01:13:47
Speaker
No. That's for the members only. Members only. feed stuff. All right, yeah, we're going to we're gonna wind it down here because we are coming up on the United States border. And honestly, while I think, like, kind of covertly trying keep the stream going while we're crossing the border could be good content, we probably... yeah Yeah, exactly. We should not... I don't... You you think the U.S. Border Patrol would take kindly to us live streaming the... I don't know. They're pretty cool, usually. they Actually, yeah I've never had issues at this exact crossing, which I've used a lot in back to my days development, so...
01:14:24
Speaker
But I mean, it's still probably not the greatest idea that I've ah that i've ever heard. But I guess let's go let's go around
01:14:33
Speaker
Final thoughts just either on this performance or just how you're feeling about CCC in general after this emphatic 3-0 victory at BC Place. Noah, how are you feeling? What do you think? Let's go win the whole thing. What the hell? Why not? Dude, FC Cincinnati put it on Tigris. Liga Mekis is chalked. Yeah, your brother is true. They are dying as a league right now in front of our eyes.
01:14:55
Speaker
Toluca was up two men against San Diego FC, and they couldn't even get out of there with an aggregate draw.
01:15:05
Speaker
That league is down bad. That's their best team. And also, team isn't team... but Again, we're ah we're done. We love you guys. Bye.
