[SPEAKER_00]: Cubs and white song schemes actually get pretty like roudy, you know, roudy and mild.
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like that can kind of mimic a little bit of a soccer game.
[SPEAKER_00]: But to be honest, the one thing that I feel like I college football really relates to a kind of what we're seeing with the games going on right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm wondering here on behalf of fan cited in the baseball insiders with Dan's B. Swanson who is here with Buffalo Wild Wings and Pepsi and honor the World Cup of the Wild Wings team up with Dan's B and U.S. wins national team star, Mallory Swanson.
[SPEAKER_01]: Dan's B.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much for joining me today.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't thank you, should I?
[SPEAKER_01]: First of all, tell me a little bit more about how this partnership came to be and the cool things you have planned with Buffalo Wild Wings.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think it just seems kind of like a match waiting heaven from Mallory and I just overflow wild means about especially this time of year with all the big games going on just it's a pretty cool thing to be able to like.
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, sports is a big part of our household to be able to celebrate sports, celebrate good food, celebrate being together, good community, like the whole thing is right up, malanized alley or malanized alley and yeah, when like said, it just made the perfect sense when they brought it up to us, we're like, you know what, this is a rather parodic.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mallory's team has dominated plenty in international competition over the years.
[SPEAKER_01]: They called Friday in Seattle on the other hand, the biggest day in U.S. M. N. T. history.
[SPEAKER_01]: How did you and Mallory watch?
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you're in season that, you know, that's kind of a tough time.
[SPEAKER_01]: How did you watch USA Australia last week?
[SPEAKER_01]: And what are sort of your game day rituals when you're trying to prepare to play and also watch this crazy world cup?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: We actually, we had a, we were playing at the same time.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we weren't able to, I wasn't able to like watch the game live.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I thought upon some holidays after, but, uh,
[SPEAKER_00]: I normally, when I'm, if I'm getting ready for games and watching games, like we have, we have every game on all the time in the locker room, even on too.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's always kind of on whether it's background always or like the main thing that we're watching, just depends on the game, but usually, I mean, for me, when, if I'm wanting to watch a game, like, I want to get locked into the game, like I'm watching it to learn it and understand it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know it as well as I do, like, baseball or basketball or some of those things.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so the more I'm able to learn, like, I find it really cool to just like, watching how people implement strategies and like trying to just figure it out is really cool for me.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I like to watch with a lot of content.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thankfully, U.S. moving on to the knockout stage, plenty more opportunities, and hopefully some that don't conflict with Cubs games.
[SPEAKER_01]: The one thing I think people have taken away, hopefully, from watching all of these countries come to America and take over the crowd is that these soccer crowds are different.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's plenty of insanity in MLB2, but these soccer crowds are unlike anything we've really seen.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you could compare baseball crowds to these crowds, what major league cities have crowds that are even approaching this level of one, you know, Norway and Scotland are doing these takeovers?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a, yeah, I mean, it's, it's really a completely different culture, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, other countries, especially what I think about playing in like some Latin American countries and just the crowds that are into it.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is kind of like a non-stop.
[SPEAKER_00]: It seems to be almost like coordinated, proud, you know, chance or yelling or even dances or noises, like you name it.
[SPEAKER_00]: As far as MLB teams go, I mean, obviously, you know, certain places in team to have,
[SPEAKER_00]: maybe certain chance or even like, you know, seven thinning songs that get saying, you know, things that nature like, the district care line and Boston.
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, so there's definitely some some places out there that are pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think comes in white song schemes, actually get pretty like roudy, you know, roudy and mild.
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like that can kind of mimic a little bit of soccer game.
[SPEAKER_00]: But to be honest, the one thing that I feel like college football really relates to what we're seeing with the games going on right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I was going to ask him, buddy, brought up Cubs White Talks because that rivalry feels like it's back sort of in full force that the upstart socks are taking, you know, giving you a really exciting summer in Chicago with Cubs playing well too.
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you excited to see that intercity rivalry come back a little bit in Vogue or would you rather the White Talks just stay back?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I mean, well, I think it's great for baseball, and they've obviously had a really good year.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, it just makes our games even, that much more fun, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, those games were already fun before, and now they're just even escalating, and fun and competition.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, the war competition in America.
[SPEAKER_01]: You've been a part of a few really iconic robberies both in Atlanta and Chicago.
[SPEAKER_01]: What would you say is fiercer?
[SPEAKER_01]: Cubs Brewers, the way it is right now in 26 or Braves met back when you were in Atlanta.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's a tough one.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say probably, I'd say right now, just because I'm in it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Cubs Brewers.
[SPEAKER_00]: not a huge comparison person because there's always moments in time to like, man, that one was really like the peak of it all, you know, it can 2020 too.
[SPEAKER_00]: We had to sweep them to one of the division and then, you know, that's like yeah, but every game with the birds seems really impactful, meaningful.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a just like right now, by recent sea bias,
[SPEAKER_00]: and geography a little bit closer to, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, it's a pretty, it's a great goal thing to have been able to be a part of SUNY Robbers.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that last series in 2020, see the sort of the peak rivalry series you've ever had?
[SPEAKER_01]: Would you say it's just energy-wise?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I would say so.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, obviously we played.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're like Philly in the playoffs when I was in Atlanta, but we played the reverse last year, obviously in LDS, but in terms of just like a regular season, series, I would say yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: With the tree deadline looming in a couple of weeks, I just want to quickly get your thoughts to you.
[SPEAKER_01]: What are your expectations for the way Jen that comes for it, officer are gonna act?
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you looking forward to?
[SPEAKER_00]: They obviously kind of have a plan of what they want to do, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: I think, at the end of the day, you can never have enough pitching.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's like, it doesn't matter who you are in kind of pitching you have.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's always a definite to me as you can never have enough.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just because, unfortunately, injuries are part of things.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, if you use an abuse guy as it hurts you later in the year.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so it's any most of the time the pitching is always the route
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, the all star game is infilling in a few weeks, but it's coming to regularly next year.
[SPEAKER_01]: And how much does that motivate you and your teammates to kind of enter that season knowing, like, okay, we got to represent our city.
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to put on a show.
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to send as many cuts of this thing as possible.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I think it's always in your mind.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, obviously you want to be the best player that you can be.
[SPEAKER_00]: So with that naturally counts of motivation being all star.
[SPEAKER_00]: But when it's when it's like your home team is hosting it,
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't get the subtle reminders every day because we're usually banners and posters and stuff like that up, but obviously like when it's in Chicago, you want to have as many of your own guys as possible, just to showcase it for all the fans out there of what we're about.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll make this so good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Dan, it's me so much.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for joining us.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be having a bubble of our wings and Pepsi really appreciate best of luck for the rest of the season.
