Speaker: Hey, two beans in a podcast.
Speaker: Hello, everybody.
Speaker: Welcome back to two beans in a podcast.
Speaker: It's been a while, Miguel.
Speaker: It's been a while.
Speaker: It has.
Speaker: It has through soccer championships and MLS games and, you know, schedule-wise, it just hasn't worked out.
Speaker: Little mini vacations, you know.
Speaker: Too busy.
Speaker: It's just... Too busy.
Speaker: We do not have enough time in the day to get everything done.
Speaker: Well, yes, we are.
Speaker: After a little break.
Speaker: We'll call it a break.
Speaker: I mean, we'll call it a week and a half.
Speaker: That's not too bad.
Speaker: We'll call it a thinking brainstorming session.
Speaker: Just kidding.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: So what you been up to?
Speaker: What's been going on?
Speaker: So much.
Speaker: So much, man.
Speaker: Like girls, soccer.
Speaker: I picked up a new hobby.
Speaker: Messi just came.
Speaker: Man, just just came in the light.
Speaker: He's coming to the MLS.
Speaker: That's crazy, bro.
Speaker: Let's talk about that first.
Speaker: Tell me about that.
Speaker: What do you think?
Speaker: You called it, bro, a minute ago.
Speaker: I told you.
Speaker: I told you.
Speaker: A minute ago, dog.
Speaker: I know.
Speaker: And you never believed me.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Ever believed me.
Speaker: Never, ever, ever have you ever believed me on that.
Speaker: Let me tell you that the stars aligned with
Speaker: The stars aligned, bro, because... I don't think so.
Speaker: There was a big chance that he couldn't do it, bro, that he wasn't going to do it.
Speaker: Like, Barcelona, bro, had a 99% chance to sign him.
Speaker: But because of the way they handled it back when he left them, like, he didn't leave under his terms.
Speaker: He left because of the financial fair play rules.
Speaker: Correct.
Speaker: So you think he's going to trust them, bro, to be like, oh, yeah, we already got our ducks in order.
Speaker: But, like, Barcelona gets so much crap from the president of La Liga.
Speaker: Like, historically, that guy has been against them.
Speaker: And he, like, messes with the deals.
Speaker: Just stuff that, like, you don't usually hear about.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: But he approved this.
Speaker: But they said he approved it, but it wasn't in, like, writing.
Speaker: So Messi was like, you know what, bro?
Speaker: I'm not going to be left, you know, like last time.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: And he's like, I'm just going to.
Speaker: You saw the interview, right?
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker: I saw the interview.
Speaker: And he was also like, the way they were also going to do it was they're going to cut a bunch of players' pay, too.
Speaker: And he didn't want to be.
Speaker: He actually wanted to be a decent human being, which is weird for an athlete, right?
Speaker: I mean, bro, he turned down 1.5 billion in three years.
Speaker: I know.
Speaker: That's crazy.
Speaker: That's pretty amazing, bro.
Speaker: Like...
Speaker: That's the thing where, like, you think he didn't learn from Ronaldo going over there to that league and being like, I don't know, you know, maybe I don't want to go over there.
Speaker: Oh, 100%.
Speaker: I'm sure he did.
Speaker: But he also, he wasn't happy in France.
Speaker: Like, he felt like the people in France didn't like him.
Speaker: He did not feel welcome for the past two years.
Speaker: And Mbappe said, like, yeah, he hasn't felt like he was welcome or anybody who wanted him here.
Speaker: No, he wasn't appreciated, bro.
Speaker: It was, like, his worst two years of his life and with his family, and they hated it and everything.
Speaker: So, I mean, yeah, it made sense to leave.
Speaker: And then I knew he was coming to MLS.
Speaker: Once that rumor broke, it was happening.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: David Beckham was there like two months ago hanging out with them.
Speaker: Where?
Speaker: Paris?
Speaker: At Paris, yeah.
Speaker: He was at PSG practice and stuff, training and a couple matches and stuff like that.
Speaker: Just, you know, spitballing, as they say.
Speaker: And then, bam, here comes the GOAT.
Speaker: So do you think he got the same deal as Beckham?
Speaker: Beckham's deal, I think he got more than he got back than Beckham got.
Speaker: I think he's getting more because the contracts that I've seen, right?
Speaker: The contracts that I've seen is Apple TV or Apple is going to pay him so much percentage of subscriptions to the MLS pass.
Speaker: Adidas is going to pay him so much percentage to shirt sales.
Speaker: Then he gets a stake and or a opportunity for an expansion team at the end of his career in MLS.
Speaker: Mm-hmm.
Speaker: So it's always been rumored that he was going to get like 35% of Miami if he came as part of his contract.
Speaker: Then it was rumored that they were going to try and get a giant pot from each team in the MLS to pay him to come.
Speaker: And everybody was clearly on board because it's like ticket sales have skyrocketed.
Speaker: It's sold out already.
Speaker: Miami matches are sold out.
Speaker: That's a messy effect.
Speaker: It's crazy.
Speaker: And it's like the resale on all the matches have been like $800 to like $4,500.
Speaker: I told you what happened to me, right?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: About the LAFC match?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Let me retell it real quick.
Speaker: Well, let me tell you what I told you.
Speaker: I said, you better buy those tickets right now.
Speaker: Bro.
Speaker: Okay, now go ahead.
Speaker: There was a rumor that Messi was going to Miami.
Speaker: There was still a chance for Barcelona to sign him.
Speaker: But I was like, I don't know.
Speaker: I'm going to look at these tickets.
Speaker: Messi's going to be playing about an hour and a half away from me September 3rd.
Speaker: Maybe.
Speaker: If he, like the contract goes through, a lot of ifs.
Speaker: Tickets are 85 bucks a pop.
Speaker: That's already a little steep.
Speaker: I'm like looking at four tickets.
Speaker: I'm like, oh man, for an if, you know?
Speaker: Well, I mean, an if, but you're still going to go to a match.
Speaker: Yeah, but LA, Miami, without Messi, I don't know.
Speaker: You know, like for me, it was a purposeful purchase if I was going to make it.
Speaker: Right, right.
Speaker: Not like on an if.
Speaker: So anyway, five hours later, it's confirmed, you know, but it's still not confirmed, you know.
Speaker: It's not inked, I guess you could say.
Speaker: Because I'm not sure if he can ink until the end of the month.
Speaker: Until the 30th, right?
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: So it's still not.
Speaker: But five hours after I checked those tickets, they went up to $350 for the cheapest.
Speaker: Just like that.
Speaker: Now they're at $500.
Speaker: Resell, I'm sure.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, I'm sure.
Speaker: It's crazy, bro.
Speaker: Yeah, it is wild.
Speaker: I mean, but it's, you know, there's so many like different things.
Speaker: It's like it says it's a two year contract, but is he going to come?
Speaker: Is it going to be like a two and a half year contract?
Speaker: Because technically he can't come and start playing.
Speaker: Until after the transfer window opens, which is July 8th, I believe.
Speaker: And then the transfer window closes in August, right?
Speaker: August 3rd?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: So he can't play until August, right?
Speaker: No, no, no.
Speaker: It opens like beginning of July.
Speaker: So he would be eligible for whatever first match is in July if he's coming over this season.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Like everything's inked at the end of the month and the transfer window opens, then he can come.
Speaker: Just like RSL just signed a striker.
Speaker: Finally.
Speaker: We just signed Chicho Arango, Colombian player.
Speaker: He's badass.
Speaker: Scored 31 goals and 57 appearances in the MLS when he played for LAFC.
Speaker: Scored on us right in front of my face with a beautiful back heel.
Speaker: Like just a beautiful little back heel flick.
Speaker: Boom.
Speaker: It's like, cool.
Speaker: But now we got him.
Speaker: Nice.
Speaker: But he's not eligible.
Speaker: His first match won't be until July 8th.
Speaker: That'll be his first match that he has eligibility to play.
Speaker: So it'll be the same with Messi if he comes this season.
Speaker: Which, I mean, everything's sold out.
Speaker: Everything's banking on it.
Speaker: So...
Speaker: Either people are going to be disappointed when they're going to matches or they're going to be super happy.
Speaker: One of the two.
Speaker: Yeah, nah, bro.
Speaker: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker: You wanted me to pull the trigger on a big if?
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: I would have done it.
Speaker: Huh?
Speaker: I would have done it.
Speaker: You would have done it?
Speaker: If I was that close, I would have been like, yeah, we're going to do it.
Speaker: What can I sell?
Speaker: Hmm.
Speaker: He said, what can I say?
Speaker: No, I mean, yeah, it is a big if.
Speaker: But, you know, now it's, now I might be able to see him in September.
Speaker: Here, at home, in Utah.
Speaker: What match would it be?
Speaker: It would be the Open Cup Final.
Speaker: So, RSL made it to the semifinals.
Speaker: And we play Houston, August 23rd, in Houston.
Speaker: And we've been on a roll in the Open Cup.
Speaker: We've been killing it.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: All road matches until last Wednesday when we played the Galaxy.
Speaker: So we won first priority to the final.
Speaker: So if we win the semifinal coming up in August, we host the final match, the cup match.
Speaker: Nice.
Speaker: And the other two teams is Cincinnati, who's on fire.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Top of the league, top of the East, everything.
Speaker: They're like, I think like 10 points ahead of the first place team in the Western Conference.
Speaker: So they're just crushing it this year.
Speaker: And it's at Cincinnati and they're unbeaten at home.
Speaker: So, I mean, it's a tough call.
Speaker: What if Miami plays with Messi?
Speaker: I mean, that's it.
Speaker: They've been doing well in the Open Cup, but they haven't been doing well in MLS play.
Speaker: They're in last place in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker: Yeah, I saw that.
Speaker: And then I also saw the other rumors that...
Speaker: Barcelona's own Busquets that just left Barcelona.
Speaker: And Jordi Alba might join Miami.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Which then it's just like, okay, game over.
Speaker: That'll flip the MLS, bro.
Speaker: Messi alone is already flipping the MLS.
Speaker: Bro, I'm going to buy the Apple subscription.
Speaker: I already have it.
Speaker: You have it already?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Well, yeah, of course.
Speaker: I had to get it because, I mean, how else was I going to watch matches when they're away?
Speaker: That's the only thing it streams on, you know, now for the next 10 years.
Speaker: So the final, when was it?
Speaker: October?
Speaker: September.
Speaker: September?
Speaker: So it's August 23rd for the semifinal in Houston, and then I think it's like September 20-something here if we win.
Speaker: Aren't you going to be in Montana?
Speaker: No?
Speaker: Mm-mm.
Speaker: You said you were going to go?
Speaker: All those got canceled.
Speaker: Canceled.
Speaker: Cancel culture.
Speaker: Canceled.
Speaker: Stamp it.
Speaker: Canceled.
Speaker: I'm going to Montana for like a week in September.
Speaker: Montana?
Speaker: When?
Speaker: Brother?
Speaker: What's up, girl?
Speaker: Smart baby.
Speaker: What's up?
Speaker: What you doing?
Speaker: Say hi to Nate.
Speaker: Say hi.
Speaker: Hi.
Speaker: You gonna go get your sister?
Speaker: Yeah, I need to get my sister.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Scooter.
Speaker: Need to get my scooter, she says.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: When are you going to Montana?
Speaker: Like, I haven't written down.
Speaker: It's the end of, like, September.
Speaker: The end?
Speaker: All right.
Speaker: So the final will be September 27th in Sandy City, Utah.
Speaker: And you have priority tickets, right?
Speaker: I will, yes.
Speaker: We win the semifinal, and once the tickets get released, season ticket holders get first dibs.
Speaker: You said the 27th?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I'll be in Montana.
Speaker: I'll be in Montana.
Speaker: It's not good.
Speaker: Know where I'll be?
Speaker: Sandy, Utah.
Speaker: Sandy, Utah, baby.
Speaker: Watching Cincinnati versus RSL.
Speaker: Maybe.
Speaker: Maybe.
Speaker: Which still.
Speaker: Maybe.
Speaker: I don't care.
Speaker: We have a chance to win a trophy.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: After the terrible start to our season that we've had.
Speaker: Great.
Speaker: Let's do it.
Speaker: Let's work on that.
Speaker: Let's get that going.
Speaker: Do you think that Messi – so we were talking about like –
Speaker: The whole, is Messi going to get stake in a team?
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: Included in the contract, right?
Speaker: Yeah, that is part of it.
Speaker: What if he gets stake in San Diego's 2025 MLS expansion team?
Speaker: I mean...
Speaker: That's a possibility, right?
Speaker: I think it could possibly be, but I think that's already set up.
Speaker: So you don't think... I don't know if they'd give up.
Speaker: You think they'd give them a new team?
Speaker: Yeah, that was the talks.
Speaker: A whole brand new team in a different city.
Speaker: It's either in Miami, from what I understand, like a 35-something like that percent share of Inter-Miami, or an expansion team.
Speaker: Because I believe that's why David Beckham was able to get Miami, because in his contract, he also had that clause.
Speaker: Yep, I saw that.
Speaker: So, yes, it should be.
Speaker: It would be.
Speaker: If it's not Miami, it would be a new one, which I would imagine would be Vegas.
Speaker: Oh.
Speaker: My personal thought and theory.
Speaker: Mm-hmm.
Speaker: I would love it.
Speaker: I honestly thought that this announcement here was going to be, or this last announcement that we had was going to be Vegas and not San Diego.
Speaker: I was kind of surprised at San Diego, to be honest with you.
Speaker: But Vegas doesn't have a stadium.
Speaker: They got Allegiant.
Speaker: Football.
Speaker: Atlanta United plays in the Mercedes-Benz Dome.
Speaker: Yeah, but ownership is a thing.
Speaker: Oh, well, I'm sure.
Speaker: Well, I'm sure they would either one, start there in at Legion and then build a soccer-specific stadium.
Speaker: Yeah, I think it has to be soccer-specific because I believe, I don't know, don't quote me on it, but
Speaker: I think SoFi can't host a World Cup match anymore because of the size of the stadium.
Speaker: The size of the pitch?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: You heard that?
Speaker: No, I haven't heard that.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: I heard that one of the stadiums didn't qualify.
Speaker: I'm surprised by that because it's such a new stadium, obviously.
Speaker: Like Raiders stadium, Allegiant, they have like five different types, five different fields that they switch out.
Speaker: Like on a, like on a carousel thing, like one comes up, like they bring the real grass.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Like they bring the real grass outside to water it.
Speaker: And like, you know, the sun.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Like to keep it alive.
Speaker: Basically, I guess you could say, obviously.
Speaker: But I mean, well, that's weird because Seattle plays in the Seahawks stadium.
Speaker: Yeah, I mean, it depends on the stadium, I think.
Speaker: That's crazy that SoFi wouldn't be wide enough.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: But no, I think that's what they would play.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: They would play at Allegiant for sure, the Vegas team when it comes.
Speaker: I wonder why they didn't want to do it in Vegas then.
Speaker: We have a big soccer culture here, bro.
Speaker: So maybe it could be that it could be very well.
Speaker: Could be that like Vegas has so much of everything already.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: And their sports culture obviously is growing.
Speaker: like crazy now.
Speaker: But that's the thing.
Speaker: They got football culture.
Speaker: Like right here, we just lost the football team, the Chargers.
Speaker: Like that's still fairly recent, you know?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: We only have Padres and, you know, the San Diego Wave.
Speaker: It's a pro team, the girls.
Speaker: Right, right.
Speaker: Yeah, which –
Speaker: Those games, they get sick.
Speaker: That stadium just hosted the last match of Mexico versus Cameroon.
Speaker: It was a 2-2 drop.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: They played, like, Saturday, I think.
Speaker: Yeah, last Saturday.
Speaker: I remember seeing that.
Speaker: Last stadium, bro.
Speaker: I like it.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I mean, that's what you've been saying.
Speaker: I mean, brand new.
Speaker: It damn well better be nice.
Speaker: It's like...
Speaker: So spacious.
Speaker: Like, you know how in a lot of stadiums you're like knee to knee, like knee to share?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: These, bro, like you can chill.
Speaker: Like there's a, I don't know, there's a section that's right behind the goalie that we were sitting at.
Speaker: And it's just got so much space.
Speaker: You could stand and sit.
Speaker: Oh, so it's like, it's kind of like they built almost safe standing.
Speaker: They have poles.
Speaker: Bars.
Speaker: Yep.
Speaker: They have the bar.
Speaker: Bro, it's sick because, like, you have your own space.
Speaker: You don't got to be worried about, like, you know, your surroundings.
Speaker: I mean, that's how all the new soccer-specific stadiums are getting built, with safe standing.
Speaker: That's cool.
Speaker: With the poles in front and the seats.
Speaker: So, yeah, it definitely gives you more room, for sure.
Speaker: Like, I agree.
Speaker: More leg room.
Speaker: But...
Speaker: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker: I think that'll be the next expansion team, personally, is Vegas.
Speaker: I mean, they're already trying to get rumors about rumors of them trying to get a NBA team.
Speaker: You know, Seattle wants to get their NBA team back.
Speaker: So once they do some kind of expansion there, they'll probably do Vegas or Seattle in the NBA.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: And then you got those beautiful Golden Knights winning the Stanley Cup last night.
Speaker: I saw that.
Speaker: I knew you were going to be happy about that.
Speaker: Fastest team and fastest franchise to win a Stanley Cup.
Speaker: How many years?
Speaker: They should have two.
Speaker: They've been around, what is it, six now?
Speaker: Six seasons?
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: But their first season, they were in the Cup Finals and got beat by Washington.
Speaker: That would have been insane if they would have won.
Speaker: I wonder how much money they put into that team, you know?
Speaker: I mean, they put in quite a bit.
Speaker: But, you know, when they were an expansion team, it's all players that – pretty much players that nobody wanted to protect wanted off their team.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: So I think they were definitely playing with a chip on their shoulders.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And they almost won the cup that year.
Speaker: That would have been the ultimate rub in the face to all of their ex-teams for sure.
Speaker: You know?
Speaker: Would have been crazy.
Speaker: That was how many seasons then?
Speaker: Their first.
Speaker: That was their first?
Speaker: First season, yeah.
Speaker: Brand new team.
Speaker: Brand new team.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: They made it to the Stanley Cup final.
Speaker: That's wild.
Speaker: So...
Speaker: Yeah, but no, that was cool to see them get the cup last night.
Speaker: And I mean, they were dominating throughout the whole playoffs.
Speaker: Like, I mean, when they won the game, they won the game.
Speaker: Last night's score was like 9-3 in a hockey game.
Speaker: That's ridiculous.
Speaker: That's like a soccer match going like 6-3 or something.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I mean, I've seen hockey a little bit here and there.
Speaker: We got the SD goals here.
Speaker: And it gets pretty sick.
Speaker: But, like, you'd be surprised how hard it is to, like, score on, you know, that goal.
Speaker: But it's tough.
Speaker: Oh, I know how hard it is.
Speaker: Yo, you play hockey?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I used to play hockey all the time.
Speaker: Yeah, it's tough.
Speaker: Yeah, I didn't know.
Speaker: And then you can fight.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Dude, it's just, it's crazy when they get, they score in like the smallest of spaces.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And you're just like, how did that like scientifically, physically go in?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: That doesn't even make sense.
Speaker: I see some crazy tricks.
Speaker: Crazy tricks by these guys.
Speaker: Crazy tricks.
Speaker: I love the crazy tricks, bro, where they, like, move it with the puck, you know what I mean?
Speaker: And then spin around them.
Speaker: Spin a rooney.
Speaker: It's crazy.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: But, yeah, back to the whole Messi thing.
Speaker: I mean, it's going to change the way that the U.S. has looked at soccer-wise, for sure, finally.
Speaker: For real.
Speaker: I mean, if...
Speaker: The Inner Miami Instagram gained 6 million followers just by announcing.
Speaker: They haven't even said anything either.
Speaker: No, they haven't said anything.
Speaker: That's just all he say, she say.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: That's crazy to me.
Speaker: It's wild.
Speaker: It's ridiculous that one person, one human being can cause...
Speaker: So much to change in a matter of minutes.
Speaker: Hasn't even played a match.
Speaker: Hasn't even been announced by the team or the league that he's coming officially.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Like, that's the crazy part.
Speaker: Yeah, man.
Speaker: But, I mean, I'm going to buy a Miami jersey because I have to.
Speaker: Are you?
Speaker: Oh, yeah, dude.
Speaker: I got to buy a Miami Messi jersey for sure.
Speaker: No, man, dude.
Speaker: I did not know you could do such a thing.
Speaker: Oh, of course.
Speaker: Mr. RSL.
Speaker: Yeah, but it's messy.
Speaker: Come on.
Speaker: Like, hello.
Speaker: It's messy.
Speaker: That's crazy, man.
Speaker: You know, your homeboy is going to hook us up from some China ones.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Oh, yeah, for sure.
Speaker: I already put the order in.
Speaker: I'm not going to wear it.
Speaker: Oh, no?
Speaker: I'm going to frame it on the wall.
Speaker: Hey, man, that's the thing.
Speaker: Look, you think they're going to look at the MLS...
Speaker: like they did before because you know so many times it's been said to be the retirement league but messy i think he has a lot in the tank i still think he's gonna play in the next world cup bro he's gonna come to break some records oh yeah
Speaker: Like, not just shirt sales, not just, like, you know, how much money they're going to make, how much he's going to make, what he's going to get.
Speaker: I think he's got enough to, like, do some damage, break some records, and, like, it's going to be tough, bro.
Speaker: He will definitely break records.
Speaker: I mean, he already, if he comes in this season, he already has a chance to lift a trophy, another trophy.
Speaker: And then become the all-time leading player in soccer history to have 45 trophies for club and country.
Speaker: Who's up right now?
Speaker: He's tied with... I can't remember his name.
Speaker: He's tied with Danny Alves.
Speaker: Is that his name?
Speaker: Last I heard, Danny Alves had the most...
Speaker: Let me see.
Speaker: Let me see.
Speaker: Yes, he's tied with him.
Speaker: 44 trophies, I believe it is.
Speaker: Oh, they're tied now?
Speaker: Yep.
Speaker: Because of the World Cup?
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: Sick.
Speaker: So, yeah, he is tied with old Danny.
Speaker: And so, I mean, he has 43 trophies.
Speaker: So, he has a chance to come in this season and win
Speaker: a trophy within the first four months, two months, because we have leagues cup coming up too, which is a new, uh, thing.
Speaker: And leagues cup is, uh, a new tournament between the MLS and Liga MX.
Speaker: Yup.
Speaker: All 29 MLS teams and like 18 Liga MX teams, I believe it is.
Speaker: And so that starts July 22nd and goes through August 21st or something like that.
Speaker: So he has a chance to win that tournament too.
Speaker: There's a chance that the Cholos play Miami then, right?
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: Ooh.
Speaker: I mean, let's look up who they are lined up against.
Speaker: Philly.
Speaker: No, Miami.
Speaker: That's the Cholos.
Speaker: Cholos got Philly and Querétaro for the two matches over there in Philly.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Let's see.
Speaker: So, yeah, I mean, he's coming in right now.
Speaker: Okay, so Miami plays Cruz Azul.
Speaker: And... Yeah, I read something that said... Atlanta.
Speaker: That the first game that Messi could play is Cruz Azul versus Miami.
Speaker: And... Get this.
Speaker: That one ticket to that one game
Speaker: was costing more than an NBA Finals game.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker: For like game five or game something like that, game four.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker: That's crazy.
Speaker: Yeah, bro.
Speaker: And this is his potential debut.
Speaker: Yeah, potential.
Speaker: Like, not for sure, for sure.
Speaker: Not for sure.
Speaker: But he could possibly start playing in July in the MLS.
Speaker: Possibly.
Speaker: You think so, though?
Speaker: You think that can happen in July?
Speaker: I don't see why it wouldn't.
Speaker: I don't see why it wouldn't.
Speaker: So, I mean.
Speaker: Who does Miami play after?
Speaker: Atlanta United.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: So, they play in Miami the first match, and then the second match they play in Atlanta.
Speaker: So, I'm sure tickets for that are crazy, too.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I mean, it's going to be a cool tournament.
Speaker: It's crazy.
Speaker: That's why it's been so busy with the MLS schedule and like Wednesday night matches and stuff is because they're trying to squeeze all of those matches that they would have during that month period before and after.
Speaker: Mainly before.
Speaker: Because it kind of just goes to regular schedule after.
Speaker: But yeah, I mean... I'm for it.
Speaker: Oh, it's cool.
Speaker: It's more soccer.
Speaker: It's getting more... More...
Speaker: stardom, I guess you can say, coming over.
Speaker: More potential RSL cholos, right?
Speaker: There could be.
Speaker: There very well could be.
Speaker: Could be all kinds of potentials.
Speaker: All kinds.
Speaker: Might have to go down to the PJ.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: That's where I'd get killed, wearing an RSL jersey.
Speaker: Nah, bro.
Speaker: We respect over here.
Speaker: Come on now.
Speaker: For real.
Speaker: One time, bro, I seen this regular fan, Cholo's jersey or whatever, beating up a guy that was actually wearing a Cruz Azul jersey.
Speaker: Mm-hmm.
Speaker: And one of the La Masacre members, which is the equivalent to, what do they call it?
Speaker: Like the group?
Speaker: The supporter groups?
Speaker: Yeah, the supporter group.
Speaker: They went, like two or three of them went and beat this guy up.
Speaker: They were like, hey, we don't do that here.
Speaker: Right, right, right.
Speaker: They didn't beat him up.
Speaker: They punched him twice, told the security to take him out.
Speaker: Told him to get out.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Oh, that's good.
Speaker: So you come down with your RSL shirt and you come sit with me and we beat each other.
Speaker: It's going to be good.
Speaker: It's going to be cool.
Speaker: It's exciting to see the second half of the season play out how it is.
Speaker: I mean, it's exciting.
Speaker: Messi's coming.
Speaker: You know, it's exciting for me personally with my RSL club, with the new signing we got with Chicho, because, I mean, he's just a goal-scoring machine.
Speaker: Is RSL looking to sign more dudes?
Speaker: I think we're looking to sign, I mean, I fucking hope so, but I think they're looking at, rumor is they're looking at another,
Speaker: Defensive back and then possibly a midfielder.
Speaker: Defensive midfielder.
Speaker: But I don't, I feel like our team is very heavy in the midfield.
Speaker: Maybe we don't have a true defensive midfielder like we did when we had Kyle Beckerman back in the day.
Speaker: Oh yeah.
Speaker: But I think we need another striker.
Speaker: Like maybe a little cheaper striker, maybe an up and comer that can learn from like Chicho and stuff.
Speaker: But
Speaker: You know, your boy Rubio, he's back on the scoring sheet finally, thank God.
Speaker: He scored two goals two weeks ago.
Speaker: Cholo's ex-cholo.
Speaker: I mean, I'm glad he's scoring, okay?
Speaker: Wherever he came from, I'm glad he's scoring.
Speaker: That's all I care about.
Speaker: He's had a dry spell for like a year.
Speaker: Dang.
Speaker: He's a striker, bro.
Speaker: Come on.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: We'll see.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: I'm excited.
Speaker: I'm excited to watch the rest of the season play out.
Speaker: I'm excited to see just what happens, period.
Speaker: I'm excited to see Messi, bro.
Speaker: Messi first play and what weapons they're going to put around them.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: Because they're not just going to sign Messi and be like, okay, let's just leave it up to him.
Speaker: Nah.
Speaker: Nah.
Speaker: They going to put someone in there.
Speaker: They have to.
Speaker: And, I mean, rumor has it that DeAndre Yedlin, who plays for Miami right now, will probably be getting sent to LAFC.
Speaker: In exchange for what?
Speaker: Allocation money, I'm sure.
Speaker: A room to bring one of those other guys over.
Speaker: Oh, they don't want him anymore?
Speaker: I mean, they do, but when you can get two more Barca players...
Speaker: You got to do what you got to do, you know what I mean?
Speaker: Right, right.
Speaker: Which sucks, but that's the name of the game, I guess.
Speaker: Yeah, man.
Speaker: When it comes to that stuff.
Speaker: Sometimes, like, you have to be a really, really good professional player to, like, be able to pick where you go.
Speaker: A lot of these guys, bro, like I've got to know a few of the guys that play for the Cholos.
Speaker: And a lot of these guys, they're not like sure where they're going to be in the next eight months, you know?
Speaker: Like sometimes they get a contract for a year and they're just like, you know,
Speaker: They keep moving teams and, you know, because they're professional players, but they're not, like, top tier where they're getting, like, four-year contracts or, you know.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I mean, that's the crazy thing.
Speaker: It sucks.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: You know what I mean?
Speaker: To be, like, bouncing around, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Speaker: With the family, too, bro.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: It's just...
Speaker: That would be the worst part of it.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: The worst part.
Speaker: But, I mean, I guess that's just the business they sign up for in some cases, which tough business.
Speaker: Tough business, tough business.
Speaker: Tough business.
Speaker: So, check it out, bro.
Speaker: I found myself...
Speaker: A new hobby.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: So as you know, we've mentioned my Achilles a few times here.
Speaker: So I was like, I've been going to the gym already.
Speaker: Side note, I have been forced to get a gym membership.
Speaker: From the gym that you were going to?
Speaker: Nah, but that's where I got it.
Speaker: But I wasn't forced, really.
Speaker: It was just that my buddy, he got a new work schedule.
Speaker: So now, yeah, now it doesn't work.
Speaker: But on the plus side, I get a buddy pass.
Speaker: And I could take Melissa, who's on summer break, and, you know, she's trying to get strong.
Speaker: Get that conditioning in.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: You know, that sock already.
Speaker: She's got the Alex Morgan camp next week, so...
Speaker: Very nice.
Speaker: She's trying to work.
Speaker: But anyways, back to my new hobby.
Speaker: New hobbies.
Speaker: I'm going to give you a guess.
Speaker: It's something like, because I don't want to hurt myself, but I still want to be active, you know?
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: It's, you know, I guess it's a popular hobby.
Speaker: Pickleball.
Speaker: Huh?
Speaker: Pickleball.
Speaker: Ooh.
Speaker: I heard that's very popular, but no.
Speaker: It's close.
Speaker: We'll come back to that.
Speaker: Badminton.
Speaker: Isn't that pickleball?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: Oh.
Speaker: I never played pickleball, by the way.
Speaker: Check it out.
Speaker: This is what it is.
Speaker: Frolfing?
Speaker: This is disc golf.
Speaker: Yeah, frolfing.
Speaker: Huh?
Speaker: Frothing.
Speaker: What?
Speaker: Frisbee golf.
Speaker: Frisbee golf.
Speaker: Combining golf and frisbee together.
Speaker: Frothing.
Speaker: Over here in America, we call it disc golf.
Speaker: No, this is the real America over here, son.
Speaker: Oh, so you use a French word, frothing.
Speaker: Frothing.
Speaker: Nah, bro.
Speaker: Hell yeah, that's cool.
Speaker: Yeah, so I went for the first time, what, like,
Speaker: last, like, I don't know, like, last week or two weeks ago.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And I was like, this is pretty rad.
Speaker: Like, I could throw it and do the little, you know, like, I'm not bad at it, you know?
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Like, I went par on a few of them, and one of them might went under one, you know what I mean?
Speaker: That's a birdie.
Speaker: Yeah, look, this is a birdie right here.
Speaker: Yeah, look.
Speaker: Look, this stamp right here on it says J-Star.
Speaker: This is a mid-ranger from Innova.
Speaker: Did you get a whole set?
Speaker: Wait, check it out.
Speaker: I was like...
Speaker: This is pretty sick.
Speaker: 19 holes.
Speaker: We're right there drinking some beers, like playing something and drinking something.
Speaker: Come on now.
Speaker: Of course I was loving that.
Speaker: I was like, for sure.
Speaker: So I get there.
Speaker: I don't know what I'm getting myself into.
Speaker: Right?
Speaker: My homie was like, let's go play disc golf.
Speaker: I'm like, all right.
Speaker: Meet me here.
Speaker: All right, cool.
Speaker: I'm going there with my coffee.
Speaker: With my coffee.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I go to the pro shop.
Speaker: I'm like, oh, reservation under blah, blah, blah.
Speaker: Puts a thing on.
Speaker: He's all like, would you like to rent a disc?
Speaker: I'm like, how much is a disc, Randall?
Speaker: He's like, oh, like seven bucks.
Speaker: I was like, eh.
Speaker: I was like, let me buy one because the purchase was like a couple bucks more.
Speaker: Right?
Speaker: So I was like, all right, cool.
Speaker: I bought it and I bought this one right here, which is the Champion Roadrunner or whatever.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: So, hold on.
Speaker: This thing is...
Speaker: All right, you hear me?
Speaker: Yep.
Speaker: All right, cool.
Speaker: Anyways, so I bought this champion Roadrunner, and I was tossing this thing like crazy, bro.
Speaker: The Roadrunner one?
Speaker: Yeah, this one right here, bro.
Speaker: I was just like...
Speaker: My buddy from Boston, he went with me and he's all like, oh, so you've never done this.
Speaker: It's your first time.
Speaker: I feel like at first he was kind of like, oh, man.
Speaker: Like, you know, like he thought like, dang.
Speaker: Like, cool.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Oh, it's your first time, huh?
Speaker: It's going to be a while here.
Speaker: So he was like, I'd throw it like a baseball.
Speaker: Really?
Speaker: And he goes, and it just like curves.
Speaker: If you throw it inwards, it curves this way.
Speaker: If you throw it with your thumb, it curves the other way.
Speaker: So I'm like, cool.
Speaker: Because I cannot throw it like this.
Speaker: Like a regular way?
Speaker: Like a regular, yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Why, though?
Speaker: Why?
Speaker: Because you got to put your pressure on your right foot.
Speaker: Oh, okay.
Speaker: With the Achilles.
Speaker: So I did it one time.
Speaker: It was terrible.
Speaker: And also I felt the pressure.
Speaker: I was like, mm-mm.
Speaker: I was like, let me see how you do it.
Speaker: Show me the way.
Speaker: I did it, bro.
Speaker: Like, zoom.
Speaker: And then, like, it was, like, super cool.
Speaker: I was like, whoa.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I like this.
Speaker: Whoa.
Speaker: What the hell?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: So I was like, we finished.
Speaker: It was cool.
Speaker: It was three of us.
Speaker: I came in second place.
Speaker: Very nice.
Speaker: So first time.
Speaker: First time.
Speaker: And I wasn't a drag like I thought I was going to be.
Speaker: Right, right.
Speaker: So now you got to get a whole set.
Speaker: I went home.
Speaker: Primed it up.
Speaker: And then I'm like, boom.
Speaker: I got the Katana.
Speaker: Because it looked cool.
Speaker: They're different weights, right?
Speaker: So, yeah.
Speaker: I was like, this looks cool.
Speaker: I grabbed it.
Speaker: And then I'm like, no, I got two.
Speaker: And then I'm like, oh, this one over here looks cool.
Speaker: So I'm like, oh, and now I got three.
Speaker: But yeah, each one of them is like different weight.
Speaker: And then it's got like different numbers.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Speed.
Speaker: And I guess if like it's a zero on the third number, that's like how stable it is.
Speaker: Well, okay.
Speaker: And like this one is like negative four.
Speaker: So this one's a little more unstable.
Speaker: That's why when I threw it this way, it would like, you know?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: So I've barely been reading about it, but I'm already like, I got this one in today.
Speaker: And I already scratched it.
Speaker: Anyway, so I got four discs because I was like, I'm only going to need four.
Speaker: Cool.
Speaker: I got the four ones I want.
Speaker: I'm like, that's cool.
Speaker: And, oh man.
Speaker: So check it out.
Speaker: This is kind of funny.
Speaker: The first time I go,
Speaker: Man, I'll probably get offensive people.
Speaker: So the first time I go, I see this dude with his backpack, and he opens the backpack, bro.
Speaker: And he doesn't have beers or snacks or anything in there.
Speaker: No, he's got full-on 10 discs, right?
Speaker: Like 40 discs.
Speaker: And I was just cracking up.
Speaker: This dude looks funky, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker: And I'm like...
Speaker: That's going to be me now.
Speaker: No, no.
Speaker: I'm like, I'm never going to do that.
Speaker: Like, I'm going to have like four discs and that's it, you know?
Speaker: And so like, I tell my wife and she, she had a bag.
Speaker: On Prime.
Speaker: On the way home already.
Speaker: What?
Speaker: She had ordered a bag, a funky bag like that.
Speaker: And I was like, no.
Speaker: A disc golf bag?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Oh, damn.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I was like.
Speaker: Like, she just did it randomly or what?
Speaker: She ordered it because I told her it was cool, like the sport or whatever.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And she saw that I bought, like, these discs or whatever.
Speaker: But I clearly remember telling her that it was like, I was like, this guy look funky, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker: You know?
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker: Like, I would never wear a bag like that.
Speaker: So I don't think she hurt me.
Speaker: Because she ordered a bag like that.
Speaker: That's you, man.
Speaker: And then I told her, I was like, no way you are.
Speaker: She was like, yeah.
Speaker: I'm like, oh, man.
Speaker: I'm like, I'm never going to wear that, bro.
Speaker: Yes, you are.
Speaker: No way.
Speaker: I got four discs.
Speaker: Right now.
Speaker: Right now.
Speaker: What do you mean?
Speaker: Nah.
Speaker: When was the first?
Speaker: When did you play this?
Speaker: Last Tuesday.
Speaker: Tuesday.
Speaker: Okay, it's been a week.
Speaker: And then I played it again this past Tuesday.
Speaker: Okay, so it's been a day.
Speaker: And then I'm going back tomorrow.
Speaker: Okay, so we're playing Frisbee Golf.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Three times within two weeks.
Speaker: I already have four discs.
Speaker: You are that guy.
Speaker: That's all you need.
Speaker: You're going to be that guy.
Speaker: That's all you need, bro.
Speaker: You're going to be that guy.
Speaker: And that's okay.
Speaker: No.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: Look, these four are heavy enough.
Speaker: Right now?
Speaker: I need a six pack, four discs, and I'm good.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: I will never, ever be carrying 20 discs.
Speaker: Mark my words.
Speaker: Mark my words right here, people.
Speaker: Timestamp it.
Speaker: Timestamp it.
Speaker: 8.30 p.m.
Speaker: Mountain Standard Time.
Speaker: Miguel will be wearing the backpack and he will have more than four discs within the next three months.
Speaker: Nah.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: By the way, y'all got this over there?
Speaker: Yeah, but we don't have to.
Speaker: You have to pay.
Speaker: There's one course that you have to pay.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: No, yeah.
Speaker: They're all over the place.
Speaker: Oh, that's not bad.
Speaker: They're all over the place.
Speaker: No way.
Speaker: Hmm.
Speaker: Let's go.
Speaker: All over the place, man.
Speaker: Let's go.
Speaker: All right.
Speaker: Come on out.
Speaker: Bro, we only have like four courses.
Speaker: Dude, we have.
Speaker: I already went to two of them.
Speaker: I've already put, I've already almost played the whole course structure we have here.
Speaker: San Diego.
Speaker: So now I got to go to Utah and check off the courses.
Speaker: You have to.
Speaker: You have to, too.
Speaker: You ever played it?
Speaker: I've played it once.
Speaker: It's fun, bro.
Speaker: We have 122 courses in Utah.
Speaker: Beautiful.
Speaker: Well, I mean, that's all in Utah.
Speaker: That's all in Utah.
Speaker: What about Salt Lake or Kearns?
Speaker: I know there's one where is it?
Speaker: 20 minutes away.
Speaker: There's a Jordan River one that's probably like 25 minutes away.
Speaker: There's one in Rose Park that's another 30 minutes away.
Speaker: I mean, they're all over the place.
Speaker: Where we went camping over the weekend, this last weekend.
Speaker: Tell me about it.
Speaker: Sand Hollow.
Speaker: Sand Hollow has a course.
Speaker: Sand Hollow has a course.
Speaker: Nah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: How's that?
Speaker: It was fun.
Speaker: It was good.
Speaker: It was cool.
Speaker: It was fun.
Speaker: It's cool.
Speaker: You got like, you know, red sand.
Speaker: Bro, I saw the picture of your baby in the water and it looked like he was playing in clay.
Speaker: Yeah, it's the red sand.
Speaker: Oh, dude.
Speaker: On the beach.
Speaker: Does it feel nice?
Speaker: Yeah, it feels like sand.
Speaker: Like really soft sand.
Speaker: That's awesome.
Speaker: It looked really soft.
Speaker: It looked clean.
Speaker: It's like super soft sand.
Speaker: I brought some home in my truck.
Speaker: Why?
Speaker: From people's feet.
Speaker: Oh.
Speaker: Not on purpose.
Speaker: Oh, okay.
Speaker: It's getting detailed tomorrow, and I'm sure it's going to be a little expensive, but I wasn't about to clean it.
Speaker: That bad?
Speaker: Yeah, it's pretty bad.
Speaker: And the dog hair, it's just, yeah.
Speaker: I'm like, I ain't got time for this.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker: But no, it was fun.
Speaker: We want to do it again next year for like a week.
Speaker: Like we're going to rent this big group campsite.
Speaker: For a week, it's like $800 for the full week.
Speaker: And then the other thing is, like Jasmine came up with a plan, like we want to do that for a week, and Zion's is only an hour away.
Speaker: So one day we go to Zion's, check it out, blah, blah, blah, and then come back.
Speaker: Basically, Sand Hall is like base camp, and then...
Speaker: The Grand Canyon's only an hour and a half.
Speaker: Ooh.
Speaker: So do that one day.
Speaker: That's not close, huh?
Speaker: Yeah, it's like right there.
Speaker: So do that one day, then get a boat for one or two days out there, do some wake surfing, wakeboarding.
Speaker: Did you guys get to do any of that, or what did you do?
Speaker: No, Justine and Ricardo rented a side-by-side.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: But since they rented the side by side and everybody was kind of most of the people
Speaker: that were leaving on Sunday, so I didn't want to get a boat because they were leaving.
Speaker: So that's why it's like boat for sure next time.
Speaker: And you guys were there for three days?
Speaker: We were there from – we got there Friday night, left – we left Sunday night and drove halfway to Fillmore and then camped in Fillmore and then drove home Monday.
Speaker: You took the – Trailer.
Speaker: You took the trailer?
Speaker: Yep.
Speaker: Nice.
Speaker: Took the trailer and little baby boy doesn't really like car rides too much right now.
Speaker: So we decided to split it up and he slept both ways when we split it up.
Speaker: So that made it much more nice of a drive on the way home.
Speaker: But no, it was fun.
Speaker: How far is it?
Speaker: It's like four and a half hours or so from us.
Speaker: Oh, okay.
Speaker: So it's like an hour and a half from Vegas.
Speaker: That's four hours for real?
Speaker: Nah.
Speaker: I went and a half to two hours to Vegas from San Holo.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: The Vegas for me is like five to six.
Speaker: Really?
Speaker: It took, well, it was a snowstorm.
Speaker: You were driving in the snowstorm.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: January.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Not used to it.
Speaker: Spooky.
Speaker: Bro, how do you get used to it?
Speaker: That was one of the worst stores they had the whole year.
Speaker: You just drive, baby.
Speaker: No, it was not.
Speaker: That's what they said.
Speaker: Who, Vegas?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: Or us?
Speaker: It was between you and Vegas.
Speaker: It was a little bit north of St.
Speaker: George.
Speaker: No.
Speaker: They had worse.
Speaker: Bruh.
Speaker: Either way, I know.
Speaker: You're not used to it.
Speaker: I felt like those tornadoes behind me and I was dodging them.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And I didn't stop.
Speaker: I didn't stop because I was just scarred.
Speaker: Not once did I stop.
Speaker: My neck was just stiff.
Speaker: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker: I get it.
Speaker: I understand.
Speaker: You don't get used to it.
Speaker: Yeah, it's a little freaky.
Speaker: I totally understand.
Speaker: California, bro.
Speaker: We don't see that.
Speaker: We don't see the slurry.
Speaker: We don't see the slurry.
Speaker: You did once last year.
Speaker: I'm pretty sure it snowed in LA.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker: I mean, it was like a McFlurry.
Speaker: That wasn't too bad.
Speaker: That's funny.
Speaker: But yeah, they have a disc off there.
Speaker: So if you guys come up next year, don't forget all your discs.
Speaker: Probably about the same time.
Speaker: Beginning of June-ish.
Speaker: It was a good time.
Speaker: Beginning to middle of June, yeah.
Speaker: Like right around here.
Speaker: Yeah, it was pretty warm.
Speaker: It wasn't like overwhelming, like warm.
Speaker: It was nice, warm, comfortable.
Speaker: Yeah, man.
Speaker: We'll do some disc golf.
Speaker: I'll probably be a pro by then.
Speaker: Maybe we'll be doing tournaments.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: No, I got a pickleball net.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: I made a pickleball court in the middle of the circle.
Speaker: You made one?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Painted the lines.
Speaker: How do you play pickleball?
Speaker: Pickleball is... I've seen the... It's a paddle, right?
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: It's a paddle similar to... Similar to... To tennis.
Speaker: To tennis and badminton.
Speaker: I guess you can combine the two in a way.
Speaker: You have an area where you can't go in until each team has a hit.
Speaker: has a bounce in their court.
Speaker: You cannot volley in set.
Speaker: It's called the kitchen.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: So in the kitchen, it has the bounce off the ground before you can hit it.
Speaker: If you step in the kitchen, you can't hit it out of the air.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: You can't hit it out of the air until each team has a bounce in their court.
Speaker: So, like, you serve, bounce, hit, bounce, hit.
Speaker: Then you can start volleying.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: But if your body, like, let's say you're coming in hot and you try to do a volley and your body goes into the kitchen.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: That's an end of play.
Speaker: So you have to really like be, I mean, what if the person's like, no, I didn't go to the kitchen.
Speaker: Or is it very like.
Speaker: You'll know.
Speaker: You can't miss if they go in the kitchen.
Speaker: It's a seven foot area.
Speaker: So it's big.
Speaker: But it's like, yeah, it gets intense.
Speaker: It's a fun time.
Speaker: And where did you put this?
Speaker: In circle.
Speaker: What circle?
Speaker: My circle.
Speaker: What do you mean you circle?
Speaker: Where we live.
Speaker: You know the circle that you drive around when you come up the hill?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, we painted lines on the asphalt of pickleball court.
Speaker: We got to redo it because we moved it a little too far to one end, so one side's kind of almost in the gutter.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: So we're going to get black spray paint, spray the current lines, and then we're going to get – Matt got us some –
Speaker: upside down marking paint from his work.
Speaker: Sick.
Speaker: They were so gracious to donate it.
Speaker: Did you have to like talk to your neighbors?
Speaker: Well, I first bought some tape because it said it would stick to the asphalt.
Speaker: So I'm like, okay, if I have to take it up, tape's easy, whatever.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: So we go out there.
Speaker: And my neighbors, we were having like a little cookout or something that my neighbors were having a cookout.
Speaker: They're like, oh, shit, here we go.
Speaker: They're like, what the fuck are you guys doing?
Speaker: Tape and just paint that shit.
Speaker: I'm like, you're right.
Speaker: Let's paint that shit.
Speaker: I was going to paint it.
Speaker: But then I was like, OK, I'll try this route first.
Speaker: But if it doesn't work, it's painting.
Speaker: And bam.
Speaker: So they're all out there helping us paint.
Speaker: Sweet.
Speaker: So now it's ready.
Speaker: It's legit.
Speaker: It's called the cul-de-sac, by the way.
Speaker: The circle.
Speaker: Cul-de-sac.
Speaker: Circle.
Speaker: No.
Speaker: It's called Halford Circle, not Halford cul-de-sac.
Speaker: If you say, like, in my circle, 99% of people aren't going to know what you're talking about.
Speaker: In my cul-de-sac, according to my good friend Miguel, is where we have the pickleball court set up.
Speaker: Yeah, so the whole circle is almost a quarter or what?
Speaker: No, it's 22 feet on each side, so 44 feet total, 20 feet wide.
Speaker: You guys are all in on this pickleball, huh?
Speaker: Yes, sir.
Speaker: Does it have a net?
Speaker: Yeah, I have a net.
Speaker: I have a pickleball net.
Speaker: How do you put it on the floor?
Speaker: It's a movable net, so it's got its own stands.
Speaker: It's got its own stands on each side, one in the middle to hold up the middle.
Speaker: I better learn pickleball before I go over there.
Speaker: You ready to go, baby?
Speaker: Y'all professionals over there?
Speaker: It will be.
Speaker: It sounds like it.
Speaker: You know what?
Speaker: Pickleball has been like a craze over here, bro.
Speaker: They have in certain subsidies or subsections or whatever.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: They've taken out half of the tennis courts to put pickleball courts, bro.
Speaker: Same here.
Speaker: Because they're so popular.
Speaker: Dude, and if you try to get on one, good fucking luck.
Speaker: What you mean?
Speaker: They're always packed.
Speaker: We went Memorial Day.
Speaker: That was the last holiday, right?
Speaker: Memorial Day.
Speaker: Y'all go to these pickleball courts.
Speaker: Try.
Speaker: You go and look for people to play.
Speaker: No, I haven't yet, but I will.
Speaker: Jasmine hasn't really played too much.
Speaker: Who do you play with?
Speaker: I've been playing with Matt, Hyro, Evan.
Speaker: Team of what?
Speaker: My neighbors.
Speaker: Me and Evan have been a team pretty much every time, and Matt has been.
Speaker: Two and twos?
Speaker: Two and two, yeah.
Speaker: Or singles, but two and two, yeah.
Speaker: Oh, singles, okay.
Speaker: But, no, we went to the.
Speaker: We haven't lost.
Speaker: Oh.
Speaker: Nasty then.
Speaker: And I just got my new paddles.
Speaker: Oh, okay.
Speaker: Bro, I showed you my new hobby.
Speaker: I didn't know.
Speaker: I didn't even know.
Speaker: Exactly.
Speaker: That's crazy.
Speaker: When did this happen?
Speaker: How long have we not talked?
Speaker: I mean, I've been playing.
Speaker: I've played pickleball in the past, but we've just recently got into it.
Speaker: It sounds like it.
Speaker: It sounds like maybe you were like, I can't podcast today because I have pickleball.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: No, I'd let you know on that.
Speaker: And I'd be like on the sidelines.
Speaker: I was about to lose right now, but I'm not going to lose.
Speaker: Give me 30 minutes.
Speaker: No, man.
Speaker: We were like, no, we went to the park and it's just like the pickleball courts were packed, packed full and nobody was leaving.
Speaker: Dang.
Speaker: So it's like just,
Speaker: A heavy rotation all day long.
Speaker: Boom, boom, boom.
Speaker: So I'm just like, I'm going to buy my own.
Speaker: There's not like, oh, I got next.
Speaker: I think there is.
Speaker: I haven't really gotten that deep into the external pickleball courts because now that I just made my own, it's kind of like.
Speaker: Who cares?
Speaker: But what about competition?
Speaker: That's why I got to practice in the streets.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Makes me better.
Speaker: Nice.
Speaker: In the streets.
Speaker: Do you dive?
Speaker: If you have to.
Speaker: Oh, in the concrete, in the asphalt.
Speaker: It'll hurt, but if you got to do it, you got to do it.
Speaker: So that's why you did it right there, huh?
Speaker: You trying to get like your stripes in, huh?
Speaker: I'm just putting a spin on that shit.
Speaker: Put some English, as they call it.
Speaker: What kind of, what do you call it?
Speaker: Paddle?
Speaker: What kind of paddle you got?
Speaker: Yeah, like, do you get a special one?
Speaker: I just got a couple RSL paddles.
Speaker: Wooden?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: What are they made out of?
Speaker: Plastic.
Speaker: What about the ball?
Speaker: Is it like a plastic ball?
Speaker: The ball is kind of like a wiffle ball.
Speaker: So it doesn't go, like, super hard?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: But it can go decently hard, but it doesn't go, like, super, super hard like a tennis ball.
Speaker: Do you got, like, your spin on it?
Speaker: Mm-hmm.
Speaker: Oh.
Speaker: So that's the difference.
Speaker: So, like, the paddle I have now, before the paddle I was playing with, was just, like, a wooden, like, smooth paddle, so you can't really, like...
Speaker: get a good spin on it.
Speaker: But with my new paddles that I got for the RSL ones, it's got like a textured, textured, uh, like face on both sides.
Speaker: So it kind of lets you, you know, get that spin on there and stuff like that.
Speaker: And they're made by, I can't remember salt, something paddles or something like that.
Speaker: Um, you got it customized.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: No, they just sell them in the RSL store.
Speaker: So I got them.
Speaker: I'll probably end up upgrading to a Ghost Pickleball Paddle soon.
Speaker: What does that mean?
Speaker: Probably next season.
Speaker: It's a brand.
Speaker: It's a sick brand.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: So, yeah, you better be ready to play some pickleball.
Speaker: I better get on it, bro.
Speaker: I want to see.
Speaker: I'll have to look up the place we're going to in Laughlin to see if maybe they're putting in a pickleball court recently since it's so popular.
Speaker: I'll bring down my pickleball here.
Speaker: I'm pretty sure we can find a pickleball court.
Speaker: Oh, I'm sure.
Speaker: I'm sure we could.
Speaker: I'm sure.
Speaker: Pickleball is just blown up in Utah.
Speaker: I got about a month to get nasty.
Speaker: You better start.
Speaker: You better practice.
Speaker: I got this, dog.
Speaker: Bro, I'm telling you, bro.
Speaker: I picked things up quick.
Speaker: Yeah, but from the store.
Speaker: What?
Speaker: I'm going to play this pickleball probably like two, three times, and I'll be ready, dog.
Speaker: I'm not saying you won't be.
Speaker: And I'm not saying I'm very good.
Speaker: Who's your toughest opponent, you said?
Speaker: Matt and Hyrule were pretty tough, actually.
Speaker: Matt and Hyrule?
Speaker: All right.
Speaker: All right.
Speaker: I'm going to have to practice.
Speaker: They were pretty tough.
Speaker: Alexis don't play?
Speaker: They haven't come over for a while.
Speaker: Oh, no?
Speaker: Uh-uh.
Speaker: Maybe they'll play this weekend if they come over.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: They've been in, like, Arizona and who knows.
Speaker: Oh, traveling too, huh?
Speaker: Yeah, they went to Arizona Memorial Day weekend.
Speaker: So that's why they didn't play that weekend.
Speaker: You got your own pickleball circle.
Speaker: Gotta think of a name for the court.
Speaker: Are you gonna spray paint a name for the court too?
Speaker: Hell yeah, I'm gonna spray paint a name on the court.
Speaker: Shit, my neighbors ain't gonna say nothing.
Speaker: I guess not, brother.
Speaker: I'm going to be like, hell yeah.
Speaker: I'm like, damn.
Speaker: Hell yeah.
Speaker: I kept trying to tell my one neighbor that lives in the brown house, he's got the biggest backyard of all of us.
Speaker: And I'm like, dude, let's just put a sport court in your backyard and we'll just play back there.
Speaker: Oh, yeah.
Speaker: What do you say?
Speaker: He's like, maybe.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: I'm like, yeah, let's do it.
Speaker: You don't know what I got back there.
Speaker: Probably true.
Speaker: But it's crazy.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: It's good times.
Speaker: Good times.
Speaker: Good times.
Speaker: He might have his missile silo down there, bro.
Speaker: He might be messing with his stuff, you know?
Speaker: I can make it so it opens.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: But yeah, all right, well, you know, it's good talks.
Speaker: Good talks today.
Speaker: Good talks.
Speaker: Good excitement.
Speaker: Yeah, man.
Speaker: I'm ready for the next couple weeks and ready to see what happens with the whole announcement and

Speaker: So here we go.
Speaker: Yeah, here we go.
Speaker: He's going to have his backpack on.
Speaker: I'm going to crack the haze.
Speaker: You know, you don't fuck with it.
Speaker: Just kidding.
Speaker: This guy with this, but like, man,
Speaker: I didn't drink Bud Light before.
Speaker: It was cool not to drink Bud Light.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: That meme was hilarious.
Speaker: They pull him over and he's like, DUI or whatever.
Speaker: He's like, drunk and angry.
Speaker: Oh my God.
Speaker: That's hilarious, bro.
Speaker: That shit's got out of control.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: But Modelo is now the number one beer in America.
Speaker: Really?
Speaker: It's the number one beer sold in America.
Speaker: It's Modelo.
Speaker: Doesn't Constellation Brands own Modelo too?
Speaker: I have no idea.
Speaker: Oh.
Speaker: But they're the number one selling beer now in America.
Speaker: Now Bud Light's number two.
Speaker: Two decades.
Speaker: They can discontinue Bud Light.
Speaker: Two decades.
Speaker: They can discontinue it and still be okay as a company.
Speaker: Oh, yeah.
Speaker: I just watched the Hot Cheeto movie.
Speaker: No, I watched that on Monday.
Speaker: Is that it?
Speaker: Yeah.
