Can USA Become a Soccer Powerhouse?
00:02:46
Speaker
Let's kick this bad boy off, shall we? First up, the World Cup. Yes, I know we got a lot of y'all watching from around the world.
00:02:56
Speaker
So, as we we know here in the United States, we hosted the World Cup. And this is the first time that the United States men's team in particular, obviously, because it was the men's World Cup, has performed very well.
00:03:13
Speaker
As we know in the past, in the United States, the women... have always been the ones to lead the way in soccer, including back in the ninety s and all the way until now, when they've won championship after championship after championship. That being said, though, the men have never held up their part of the bargain.
00:03:35
Speaker
And there is one thing that was consistently bantered about during the World Cup this year. And that was, can this World Cup that took place in the United States turn the USA into a soccer power?
00:03:52
Speaker
Will it boost us? Will more kids want to get involved because of the World Cup being here? Jake, what are your thoughts? I absolutely think so. And let me tell you why. Let me explain this to you, Omar.
00:04:05
Speaker
Give yourself, open your head up a little for this. Yes or no? Are we spending the most money ever before in the U.S. s right now for soccer players?
00:04:16
Speaker
putting the money up. We're doing that. Okay. Second off, is there a sport in particular that people are going to be hesitant about in the next X amount of years to let their kids play?
00:04:30
Speaker
ah ah Football. Football. well Exactly. Yes. OK. Yeah. yeah Oh, I see where you're going. OK. I see what you're cooking. I see what you're cooking. In the end, overall, I think with that, with those two things in mind, you're getting paid more as soccer players.
00:04:48
Speaker
And there is a sport that will usually, i think, a lot of. Parents, especially in these next eight, bro, I'll tell you this. Shout out Chris Johnson. So sorry. I know we were gone during that time.
00:05:00
Speaker
So sad. Prayers up for the guy. We saw that. I'm not saying that football was a cause of it, but it could have been. We don't know. But we've seen too many head injuries, too many of stuff happen.
00:05:10
Speaker
CTE, other things like that. yeah Exactly. In the next six to eight ten years, I believe soccer takes a boost. I think we see exactly what happened.
00:05:22
Speaker
Who did we lose to? Belgium? Yeah, mean shit. What should I meet then? No, Belgium's a very good team. Don't do that. Belgium is great at soccer, much better than us. And look, while I completely agree with you that the football is which has been America's most popular sport.
00:05:40
Speaker
um As we see with the TV ratings, you're right. A lot of parents are turning away from sending their kids into tackle football because of the head injuries, because of other potential injuries, which has led to an increase in flag football being played. And as you mentioned, an increase in soccer being played or football, as you all call it overseas. We still call it soccer here. But canteen is right.
00:06:08
Speaker
Other countries pour way more money into soccer than we do. And just because the soccer was here, that doesn't mean anything. The soccer was here last time, the women won, and it still didn't carry over into our kids. Now, granted, that was 30 years ago. It's a new society. Maybe things have changed. ah We know more about head injuries. Maybe that will partake. But the fact of the matter is that soccer is still not as popular as football, baseball, basketball, even hockey for a reason.
00:06:45
Speaker
Well, probably more important, more more popular than hockey probably, but not football, not the big three, for a reason, because those sports are more exciting. Look, I love soccer. I think it's a beautiful game.
00:06:56
Speaker
But if you're only going score one goal a game or have 0-0 championship games, the only reason watched that whole thing with intent is because I was at a party with a bunch of chicas and I was getting some numbers and I was trying to flirt about the soccer game. Other than that, I wasn't really paying attention because that shit was 0-0 and I was talking to some girls. What do you guys say to that?
00:07:19
Speaker
um What I'll say to that is you have to understand. You have to understand yes that soccer is the premier sport. One thing you have to know. The premier sport in the world, not in the United States, in the world, not here You know what I've noticed, Omar?
00:07:37
Speaker
The Olympics, when the Olympics come, we're head on as a society trying to make sure we got the best them. And then what happens? Thank you. Because that was my point. If you take it back to the 90s when the women and Brandi Chastain took her shirt off and had the sports bra and did the slide. And that shit lasted four years. And we were back to every other sport aside football.
00:08:01
Speaker
root bowl So I don't want to hear shit. Soccer ain't never going to be the biggest sport in this country. We are never going to be a power in the world of soccer unless you're talking women, you not men. can it can they Can it not overcome at least baseball basketball?
00:08:18
Speaker
No, not at all. I know football will be tough. Not at all. What? Baseball is America's pastime. And even though it may not be as popular as the other sports, it is starting to get more popular. Now, the strike that will happen after the season may hurt that a lot.
00:08:34
Speaker
That being said, no, soccer will never overcome baseball or football or basketball. as popularity in America. That doesn't mean we won't have more people play. That doesn't mean we won't get better. But when your main player, Christian Pulisic, sits on the sideline and it's not his fault he got injured, he had a torn, he had a messed up leg. So obviously not his fault.
00:08:57
Speaker
But if he's your best player and um Bless you as I see you sneezing there. And Donald Trump, the president, has to go out and beg for the other best player to play just so we have a chance. And then we still got our ass whooped.
LeBron James' Next NBA Team
00:09:12
Speaker
This is one of my first hot takes. And I want to say this and I know it might be looked at. Other than QB, I believe playing soccer and being a goalie is probably the hardest position in sports right now.
00:09:26
Speaker
Because you have to deal with so much. No. they goal no yeah um let me let me tell let me Let me tell you from a former all-star goalie. Let me tell you from a... I was a former all-star goalie.
00:09:39
Speaker
Back in my younger days when I actually played soccer, I was a little fatty. So I couldn't run very fast. So I couldn't really run the field. So they made me play goalie.
00:09:51
Speaker
But it turns out my fat ass could get across the goal pretty quickly to block goals. And I turned out to be an all-star goalie. So no goalie. Now granted, I wasn't stopping Messi. I was stopping some dude named Charlie from down the street. But still, that's not the point. Charlie was eating Hershey's kisses on the weekends. Stop it.
00:10:13
Speaker
That's my first hot take. No, here's my dad's hot take. LOL. I remember when hot take Jake got busted wearing his wife's hat. Here we go. The hate.
00:10:25
Speaker
The hate is real. Oh, shout out to my props. The hate real. Shout out to Pop-Up on Seca. So what were you going say? what were you saying now? I was just saying that's my first hot take of the day. I believe goalie is.
00:10:37
Speaker
It's harder than hitting the bat. At the highest level, it's probably It's harder than dunking. It's harder than dunking. It's harder than hitting a baseball. Dunk, so i don't knows That's what I'm trying to tell you. Playing goalie one the toughest things in the world. It's harder than baseball, dude.
00:10:50
Speaker
You're hitting a 90-mile-per-hour. Tell what? What the? No, bro. I'm to put you out there with Jacob Mizorowski and watch your ass wo you looking like a dumbass as a fastball. I was just going past There's a softball, bro. I hit that ball every time.
00:11:07
Speaker
Softball? What are you, a girl? You play softball? You ain't even play baseball? was in softball league. That's wild. That's so wild, bro. Grab your man card. Grab your man card, bro. We ain't beer law wein chuck beer league softball, bro. We talking real baseball. We get underhand softball.
00:11:25
Speaker
Underhand? You won't get any more girly on me here? Why don't you take that tampon out and go take that shit to the softball field with you? You're such a hater, bro. That was tough. ah That was tough.
00:11:40
Speaker
You're bummed. Jake's decent head. I take my self. This guy, man. That is great. All right, let's move it on to the next topic.
00:11:53
Speaker
We got NBA LeBron James free agency. I have heard it's down to three. So I have heard ah Miami, Cleveland, and Golden State.
00:12:06
Speaker
But apparently Jake says it's only down to two. So I will let you go first. Where will LeBron end up? Nothing better sources than me himself. I got good sources around me. i got good sources around LeBron telling me
Best NBA Point Guard Debate
00:12:22
Speaker
that he has got it down to two. It's either between Golden State.
00:12:27
Speaker
and Cleveland Cavaliers. Canteen. Canteen, you remember when Jake i got my sources? Scotty from up the street. His neighbor Scott, who's a Cleveland Cavaliers fan. You're a hater.
00:12:42
Speaker
You're a hater. As for legacy. yeah As for legacy. My goal would be to go to Golden State. You've done there, been there, done that in Cleveland.
00:12:54
Speaker
And I do believe they would really try. agree with that I do agree with that. I believe doing something in the East, which is the weaker conference, they would just clown on it. Yeah. If you do it in Golden State, you win a fourth, a fourth champ, well, fifth championship, but four different teams.
00:13:12
Speaker
Four different organizations, right. Let me tell you something, guys. That's never been done before. This goes into that GOAT debate that we talk about a lot. As for, he would also carry Steph Curry to be the best point guard of all time if he would help him overshadow that. Stop saying yeah that! For the love of everything that is holy, please stop saying Steph Curry is the best point guard of all time. He is not.
00:13:36
Speaker
I love Steph Curry. He changed the game, especially with three-point shots from way deep. He is not the best point guard. He will never be the best point guard as long as there is a man named Magic.
00:13:52
Speaker
Irving. I got the money that I got rid of AIDS. Johnson. All right. Until he is gone, which is not going be anytime soon. He is the best point guard of all time.
00:14:04
Speaker
You promote both of those guys. First off, you are such an a hater. You need to stop living in the past. I mean, a Celtics fan, you should respect that because I shouldn't be saying Magic Johnson, but he is the best ever.
00:14:16
Speaker
It's a fact. I think you say that because he was- You can say John Stockton. You can say John Stockton stock is better. That idiot didn't win a championship. Don't do that. He's the leading assist man in the and NBA history.
00:14:29
Speaker
Oh, my gosh. Congrats. You passed it to the guy that was open. Congrats for that. All right. Look, Cantine says LeBron's going to Miami, and he has a great cast there.
00:14:41
Speaker
says the Warriors are the old big three. And Cantine also says you ain't got no damn insider ESPN show. I want to add this in. let me Let me fight that back real quick. Miami is a bad spot. Here's why.
00:14:53
Speaker
The one thing I know about LeBron, he loves the floor spreaded out. One thing that we know about Giannis, that boy can't spread for shit. Man cannot shoot from damn 10 feet off. I can be a better shooter than Giannis.
00:15:07
Speaker
So I'm not hearing that bullshit. Sorry, Giannis is one of the most overrated players we've had in the past decade. So I'm just calling a spade a spade canteen. I'm not buying that crap, bro.
00:15:17
Speaker
That's not worth it. Bam might be able... If you had it without Giannis, I agree. But having Giannis, my gosh, bro. That guy can't do nothing except dunk. He's not that great.
00:15:29
Speaker
So I'm just being real. And and Omar knows that too. So legacy-wise, go to the Warriors. You do something that's never been done before, winning four championships on four different teams. That's something that's never, what's it called?
00:15:43
Speaker
All right, y'all. So we clearly did not plan this out properly before the show by seeing who was picking who, because we are supposed to be contractually obligated to argue every point on this show.
00:15:57
Speaker
But I can't argue that point because I think LeBron should go who Golden State as well. I completely agree that going back to Cleveland will do nothing for his legacy other than possibly hurt it if he were to go and do nothing with Donovan Mitchell and James Harden, which, by the way, is the other reason I think he won't go to Cleveland because I think that he would get so pissed off with James Harden before the season even started. defense ass. He would punch James Harden in the face before game one.
00:16:30
Speaker
He'd get pissed off like when I get pissed off at Jake here and want to punch him in the face. right, so. So you agree wholeheartedly that they could be the greatest one-two punch of all time then with the whole Steph Curry being the greatest point guard, him being the greatest player of all time? No. No, but I do not. I told you, stop calling Steph Curry the greatest boy guard ever. And LeBron James, you bronze sexual ass, as our boy Tony would say. Shout out to Tony, you bronze sexual. Look.
00:16:59
Speaker
All right, now you got to follow him to a fifth team. How do you like that? You got to follow your little legend, your king around.
Celtics' Trade Decisions Critique
00:17:07
Speaker
Well, if he was a king, he wouldn't have had to go to five in teams to win five titles. You know where the real goat, Michael Jordan, won all his titles? In one place, Chicago, six of them, and he was undefeated in the finals while LeBron has gone in and got his ass whooped on multiple occasions.
00:17:30
Speaker
How'd that wizard's trip go down? We don't talk about that. We we don't talk about that. Of course not. Oh, I got you. I got you. I forgot about that. That never happened. We don't need to talk about that. But look, yeah, think Miami would be a good place for him to go to because I think Giannis, him, and Bam could get it done as well.
00:17:53
Speaker
But you've already been there two and one. Why do you want to go somewhere where you've already won before? I agree with Jake. Go somewhere you haven't won and win there. And the final reason I say Golden State is because he's always talked his whole career about how he wanted to play with his friends before he retired.
00:18:10
Speaker
Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony, so on and so forth. And Steph just happens to, and Draymond happened to be two of his really good friends. And I think he would have the best season or the most fun season of his career if he went to go play in Golden State with his buddies.
00:18:27
Speaker
But I will add this real quick. And this is just me being a LeBron fan and not one wondering why he took this team off of his radar so fast. Philadelphia? Hmm, yeah. I don't understand that. think Philadelphia would have been a choice. think Jalen Brown got to leave that set squash of a place in Boston.
00:18:46
Speaker
You got Joel Embiid who spreads out the floor like no other. I mean, man, that is an all-time team right there. You had LeBron in there.
00:18:56
Speaker
My gosh, he practically can... i yeah Yeah, don't hate. Don't hate. You know it's true. You know it's true. Of course, he's... Oh, get at it. That fraudulent ring...
00:19:07
Speaker
My first hot, shut your bubble ring ass up, you Mickey Mouse championship ass mofo. I got my first hot take of the day. And you know who this goes out to?
00:19:19
Speaker
Brad motherfucking Stevens. And it ain't in a good way, buddy. The nerve, the nerve, the absolute gall, unmitigated gall of you, Brad Stevens, to trade one of the best players in the history of the Boston franchise. And may I repeat, as you see the NBA championship,
00:19:47
Speaker
Boston hat on my head. We are the best and most winningest NBA franchise in history. 18 titles, count them and weep.
00:19:58
Speaker
And one of the greatest players in that history has been Jalen Brown. And we traded him for booking down playoff gooner Paul George and a bucket of peanuts. Four second round draft picks, a Chili's plate of fries, a 24 ounce Modelo from Dollar General, and maybe $20 to give to the bum on the street, because that's where you're going end up when you get fired, because this doesn't work out.
00:20:30
Speaker
Because I can guarantee you right now, Philadelphia, if Joel Embiid can stay healthy, is a much better team than Jason Tatum and a bunch of white bums. No offense, I'm not being racist, but there's just a bunch of white people on the team now, and they're all role-playing bums, okay? What you want him to do?
00:20:48
Speaker
Jason is going to be like white men can't jump. Jason Tatum and a bunch of white guys. And Philadelphia is going to be much better. and yeah I feel so bad for you. I love all my white friends. You have nothing to look forward to for the NFL season, nothing to look forward to the um MLB season, and now nothing to look forward to in the NBA season.
Personal Sports Fandom
00:21:08
Speaker
Bro, everything's fucked, man. Everything's fucked, bro. If you want to be a Broncos fan, I know August is here soon. Don't you ever, ever,
00:21:15
Speaker
ah ever, in my Chris Jericho voice, ever say some bullshit like that again. Let's never Kanteen says let's make plans to hit a tech game, bro.
00:21:28
Speaker
Definitely, bro. Definitely. I know you're looking down here. You know what? i think I think if we can find a good enough game, it might not be this year cause I'm already traveling a bunch. We may be able to, but maybe next year. right.
00:21:40
Speaker
Let's move it in. Do you have another hot take of the day? Well, what was the last topic that we had? The NBA LeBron. Was that the last topic did we answer that we had today?
00:21:52
Speaker
And the World Cup. No, no, no. We got one more. You to wait till after that? Yeah, wait till after that one. Okay. Last topic of the day, MLB baseball. Who is the best team at the All-Star break?
00:22:04
Speaker
We just had the All-Star game last week. If you watch Ball and Buds, you will know because we had our All-Star game preview. Shout out to my brothers Amul the Agilist and AP Alan Perales for joining me there. But we had a great show preview in the All-Star game.
00:22:19
Speaker
And we looked at the standings. We looked at players, teams, divisions. One thing that stands out and one thing that Jake and I were talking about before coming on air was how much better the National League is this year than the American League.
00:22:35
Speaker
That being said, leading at the top of your standings are the Dodgers, the in the NL tied with the Milwaukee Brewers for the most wins in the league.
00:22:48
Speaker
So I take Jake. I don't know where you're going to ask you, but you were kind of wishy-washy before the show. So I hope we don't agree again, because that would be fucked. This program isn't for that. Who is your and MLB's best team?
00:23:02
Speaker
I hate to say this, Because my wife is a huge fan of this dumbass team. oh She's been a fan of twenty since 2024 when they started winning, of course. Shocker, they're bandwagon at best.
00:23:15
Speaker
ah ah ah But the LA Dodgers look scary as ever. and I don't know how they're going to be stopped I don't know who can stop them and how they'll be stopped the scary thing is their kryptonite Aaron Judge himself is out for the time for for a formidable future yeah and you got hurt more he hurt himself more while he was on the DL so now he's out for like four more weeks at least it it scares the shit out of me I'll be honest with you Omar um Yes, Yankees. Come on with the Mets. Come on down. Come back. Come back to Earth, baby. come So as of right now, I do think the Dodgers are the most dangerous team right now.
00:23:55
Speaker
I'm worried that they can honestly three-peat this season, and I'm scared shit. this Because if I have to deal with my wife getting a brand new ring that she betted me on, a new wedding ring that she wants, because they won a three-peat, and I betted this two years ago.
00:24:12
Speaker
Why would you something so stupid? I didn't think that this was an um ah this was an opportunity chance, Omar. I didn't believe in this. When they won the first one, I said, there's no way they'll ever three-peat.
00:24:24
Speaker
Bro, you're going to be out a couple thousand dollars because you thought the Dodgers wouldn't three feet? What wrong you? might have to go to Pandora and lie to her and say it's a bling ring whenever it's fake or some shit. You might have to go to the little candy store and get it out the little 25 minutes. Something, bro. I'm rooting for the field this year. I'm rooting for the field.
00:24:43
Speaker
Hopefully the field beats them. i caret who As long as the Dodgers don't win, I'll be happy as hell.
MLB's Best Team Analysis
00:24:49
Speaker
This is scary right now, Omar. I'm scared shitless. You might see torn shirt.
00:24:54
Speaker
can A torn shirt? A torn shirt? I'm going to see more than ripped shirt. You're going be outside a panhandling on the on the corner because you ain't got no money left. You're going to be out there. Hey, and then ICE is going to drive down and be like, look at this little spick on the side of the road. We're going to pick his ass up and take him to Fort Bragg and throw him in the Montana detention center, which is the worst place in the United States. Can y'all please close that place? Y'all are treating these immigrants inhumanely, and it's fucked up. Y'all need to stop and close that place down. That being said, no more politics on the show.
00:25:31
Speaker
Canteen says the Atlanta baseball team says nobody's beating that baseball team. I don't call them their name because they need to change it. The Atlanta baseball team. And he says Philly's playing book good ball. You're right.
00:25:42
Speaker
Look, in the NL East, it's the Braves and the Phillies. And that's what they're going to be at the end of the season. I don't cheer for either one. I hate the Atlanta baseball team and I hate the Philadelphia fuck-ups.
00:25:53
Speaker
Either way, I got no choice. They're going to be there at the end of the season. He also says no team is going to catch the Dodgers. So, canteen, here's where your boy is at. Because, again, we are contractually obligated to argue on this program. I didn't want to choose the Dodgers, but to be completely honest, the Dodgers are the best team in the league because not because of the record that they have, but because of the record that they have without the people they are missing.
00:26:23
Speaker
They have like five or six of their key players on the disabled list, which means once they're fully healthy, they're going to be even better than they are now.
00:26:34
Speaker
That being said, I'm not going with the Dodgers. Oh, no, no, no. I am going with the Milwaukee Brewers. Oh, yes, indeed. The Milwaukee Brewers are only a half game behind in the loss column to the Dodgers. And They beat my Mets the past two games, probably going for the sweep today. i'm about to go turn it on in a second and see how bad we're losing.
00:27:04
Speaker
I'm going to say the Brewers, because they're looking really, really good right now. But I also want the Brewers so I could give you my hot take of the day.
00:27:16
Speaker
Because my hot take... for this one is not just that the Brewers are the the best team in the league at the present moment, but also that, and hold on, let me show you what I got going on here so y'all can see it.
00:27:33
Speaker
The Brewers have instituted the most stereotypical at the very least, and Or sorry, stereotypical at the very best and possibly racist at the least.
00:27:53
Speaker
Sausage race in the history of Major League Baseball, y'all. Last night, I was watching my Mets get the ass whoop 8-3. Steve Gelbs, what a tremendous sideline reporter he is for the Mets, pointed out.
00:28:08
Speaker
that the Brewers instituted a new sausage to their sausage race. And it happened to be the chorizo. And everybody knows I love a good chorizo. Jake loves a good chorizo. The Hispanic people love chorizos. Fine.
00:28:27
Speaker
We understand that. What I did not expect to see next Was the actual chorizo to be Hispanic? This is some bullshit, Frank.
00:28:39
Speaker
All right. Fuck this Milwaukee Brewers. What is this bullshit? what Why is the chorizo Mexican? Why is the chorizo Mexican?
00:28:52
Speaker
Why is the bratwurst German? ah Why is the pierogi Italian? Okay? This is as shit, and I don't appreciate it, to be completely honest. it All right?
00:29:05
Speaker
I don't even know who the other two are on the end, but I guarantee you it's some kind of country out there that now hates the Milwaukee Brewers because they didn't know they were being paraded around like a damn mascot to to to disparage their country of origin.
00:29:24
Speaker
Why couldn't the chorizo and all the sausages, by the way, just be regular sausages that all look the same? Why did chorizo got to have a goatee and a damn got handkerchief on?
00:29:37
Speaker
The bratwurst got a damn German mustache that looked like he from the age of nineteen twenty s The damn Italian pierogi has a chef hat on like the Muppet.
00:29:48
Speaker
What the fuck is happening, Jake? Please get me off my ledge. I am so pissed off right now. I agree with you. Whenever you told me that before behind the scenes, I could not stop laughing. I could not stop laughing, man. What the hell's going on?
00:30:03
Speaker
Oh, what what a day, Omar. Brewers, bro this needs to be fixed, Brewers. This needs to be fixed. I better not come on and see that chorizo as a Mexican last week. At the very least, take the fucking sombrero off, you assholes.
00:30:18
Speaker
Damn it. And the German guy. i don't need to see him in some suspenders and a big-ass mustache, all right? We get it. That's just stereotypical to say. Anyways, Canteen says Cubs don't say you right.
00:30:31
Speaker
Cubs are playing very well. If Pete Crow Armstrong can keep it up, he is in the lead of MVP right now tied with Shohei, it might be good. AP, shout out, my brother, says Brewers actually have the best record. I know. I know. I did that on purpose.
00:30:46
Speaker
I did that. I knew the Dodgers were half game behind on the last comment, but I did that so I could talk about the Dodgers first and and act like I was going to pick them. But I had the Brewers to pick. So you're all right. The Brewers are sixty three and thirty seven The Dodgers are 63-38. That being said, before we get out of here, the last hot take of the day.
00:31:04
Speaker
Jake, what do you got for him This one's more of a sad take. i'm I'm hurt right now, Omar. Omar, it'd be like, who's the team that i don't like in the NFC?
00:31:17
Speaker
It'd be like the Cowboys making the Super Bowl. And the Raiders made the Super Bowl as well, and I have to pick between the two.
00:31:29
Speaker
And I hate the Cowboys so much, would have to... I would have to go to y'all. You know what I mean? This is how painful this hot take is to me. But as much as I tell you a complete truth, there was a sneaky truth in there, and I have to agree with this. oh There is one team, I believe, that is on a hot streak, and I think they're only going to get hotter, and it makes me want to throw up right now. oh oh In fact, they're 10-0 in the last 10 games that they've played.
00:32:00
Speaker
Oh, I know what you're talking about. Amor the Agilist showed And I want to throw up, Omar, but I do believe this team will win it all this year. I was watching them. oh And it's that's why I'm saying it's making me want to throw up as I'm saying this.
00:32:18
Speaker
But I believe those nasty ass, they stink as shit. I can tell if the shoes smell because the socks are red as fuck.
00:32:30
Speaker
But something just tells me the only way to stop the Dodgers is these damn Red Sox. And don't know how they got hot. Wow.
00:32:41
Speaker
But it makes me want to throw up right now, Omar. I think the Red Sox will end up winning the entire MLB this
Closing Remarks and Audience Engagement
00:32:50
Speaker
season. I think they're going to do it.
00:32:52
Speaker
i think they're the only team in the AL standing in the way. I think with Aaron Judge gone, there's no chance. I think he comes back too late. He doesn't get back on the right track in time.
00:33:03
Speaker
And it's so nasty. i I'm throwing up in my mouth. I know I will be probably puking when I get off of this this show. But yes, the Red Sox look like they're the only team that can stop me from spending money on a damn diamond ring, new diamond ring for my wife. have to root for the Red Sox and you don' have to pay thousands of dollars for a new wedding ring, you big dummy. You big dummy. That's what you get. That's what you get. I'm already choking right now. yo and shut up hey shout out to Moo. We talked about it. The Red Sox came into the break.
00:33:37
Speaker
on 9-1 in their last 10, and now they came out of the break, and I think they've won four or five in a row. Dude, they are the hottest team on earth right now, are those Boston Red Sox.
00:33:52
Speaker
It's nasty, Omar. That being said, Canteen does have a question for us. And I did not read about this yet. I saw pictures, but I didn't look into the articles. But apparently a lot of changes at yeah ESPN have happened.
00:34:04
Speaker
um Apparently Cam Newton is gone. Ryan Clark is gone. Bart Scott is gone. Tom Pellicero is gone after yeah ESPN merger.
00:34:15
Speaker
um I don't know what merger this is. Is this when they took on NFL? I don't understand what that They went with NFL. I think they're going to merge a lot of the NFL guys with. Yeah, but they incorporated the NFL. They didn't have to merge with them. They bought ifl out.
00:34:27
Speaker
But anyway, I think there's a cheap way of doing it. I feel bad. I think we're going get some bunch of bums, probably a third string quarterback from the Jets three, four years ago that are now going to talk to Stephen A on Friday night, Friday morning.
00:34:42
Speaker
Yeah, I don't agree with this. i was my Look, I mean, I can't say I don't agree with it just because of the fact that they do this all the time. they road threat They rotate through people all the time. ESPN does. They hire you. And then once you start making enough money where they don't want to pay you anymore, they get rid of you for somebody cheaper. So it's not like this is a surprise that they're doing this. And also Ryan Clark has had a lot of controversy lately. um I'm not, to be completely honest, I'm not much of a...
00:35:11
Speaker
Cam Newton fan when it comes to his analysis. I don't really care for Cam's analysis. I don't find it to be that good. um He's like got a great personality. He's got great style, fashionable, probably a cool ass dude.
00:35:23
Speaker
But I just don't like his analysis when it comes to football. Well, who are they going to put in a spot, Omar? What do you think? Yeah, I mean, I don't know. i think I think you have to go back to a permanent host. but I mean, I know he and Max kind of got off track there at the end, but that was great when they had just one person coming on because you had consistency.
00:35:44
Speaker
um You could bring back Shannon Sharp. That is something you could do. was pretty hot then. And I would accept that. I do like Shannon Sharp's analysis. I think I like his personality more because he just gets kind of crazy with it. um So yeah, maybe Shannon Sharp, maybe you bring back Woody Page.
00:36:00
Speaker
Woody Page and Stephen A have been talking a lot again now as friends since they made up. So maybe you bring Woody Page. i mean, not Page. You know what? I think Underdog fell through. Woody Page. Not Woody Page. um Skip Bayless. Skip Bayless. Thank you, Skip Bayless.
00:36:14
Speaker
Yes. you might be right You might be on to something. I think they let go of some of those guys because that underdog who Aqib, Skip Bayless was with, they fell through too after the Gills Arena fell through.
00:36:27
Speaker
See, I didn't even know where he went. i wouldn't even pay attention. Yeah, he was over there on underdog. And I'll tell you this. I think that's what's sneaky going on. I think ski Skip cut makes his way back this year.
00:36:37
Speaker
to yeah ESPN, I think they add a key. but I think they add add a lot of them. I agree that Cam was doing a decent job. The only thing with Cam is, boy, that dude didn't do shit himself in the damn league whenever he was playing. He had one good year.
00:36:51
Speaker
I mean, first of all, shut your mouth. That is wild, bro. Cam Newton for the Panthers was freaking awesome, bro. i have no clue what you're talking about. You're just upset. You're just upset because your bum-ass team barely got by in the Super Bowl.
00:37:08
Speaker
bare if If Cam Newton wasn't so scared of jumping on a football Anyways I don't agree I like Cam but I just think that his analysis wasn't that great Yeah he got scared like it was a live grenade That he was going to die if he jumped on the fumble Jump on the fucking fumble bro Your team is depending on you. and but That ship was crazy. He was scared. NFL Live is going to tank? don't think so. I like NFL Live now. Marcellus Wiley, Mina Times, Dan Orlowski, and an old girl. Bring back the slut. What was the girl's name?
00:37:41
Speaker
Wowzers. What's her name? The one that was messing around. I'm not even. What's her name? What's her name? You know her name. Say the damn name. I'm not saying. No, no. That's what you're saying. First of all, you know that's Canteen's girl.
00:37:53
Speaker
Second of all, I just want everybody to know, remember, this show is all jokes. Not that you would ever watch this, but a um yeah, I think Ryan Clark is good, and I think he'll be just fine. you know he has ah He has a career after, and so does Cam. I think Cam should go coach football. He's good with kids and stuff.
00:38:11
Speaker
um Yeah. Yeah. Except that fight he got into at the football camp. but Hey, whatever. ah He says, get off my girl, bro. Kick your ass, Jake.
