[SPEAKER_00]: Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-d
[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, no, we're not taking that and I'm Sean.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh no, we're not.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're standing up right Sean.
[SPEAKER_01]: You'd be very proud of me.
[SPEAKER_01]: I kicked off another basketball season this year.
[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't think of that stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: Did not take a doubt, I really don't think any single player in the game, whether on our team or the other team.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't recall anyone.
[SPEAKER_01]: taking a dive.
[SPEAKER_01]: There were a couple of questionable calls and several questionable non-calls, but I didn't see anyone flailing their head back falling to the floor.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just very, very well done.
[SPEAKER_00]: We also drew a fall two seconds into the game, which I think is a black record of the ball or somebody immediately tried to steal the ball from after you won the tip.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, was a R team got one the tip, got one pass, drove to the basket, no dribble.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, pass one step, lay up, followed, made both free throws.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he made a three after, but I can't remember either in between or right after that.
[SPEAKER_01]: He threw a pass.
[SPEAKER_01]: eight feet high.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was the scene.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was the scene from space jam when Patrick Ewing shoots the ball over the backport.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like that far away from its intended target.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was pretty good.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was too a very tall guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: We started a huge lineup.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm six two and I we started I started on the bench because I don't know any of these players.
[SPEAKER_01]: These are all people who have played together.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know like three of them.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we are average starting height was probably like six five.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like just a team of giants and one sort of guard.
[SPEAKER_00]: My favorite part about that space gym scene is like, I think what it happened is like The ball bounces off Patrick's head when the when the referee throws it to him at the free throw line And then they showed a replay unlike sports center that night in a ball bounces off his chest I'm like, did nobody play editing room come on
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, but yeah, if there's one thing now, we struck me as a kid, like, oh, people mess up and move it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not.
[SPEAKER_01]: Continuity, what?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually just heard speaking of space jam.
[SPEAKER_01]: But brief sidebar for my favorite part of that scene is when Charles Barkley loses his talent, because the nicks are playing.
[SPEAKER_01]: the sun so Barclay loses a talent and then Danny Ainge takes the worst shot.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like a mid-air like he jumps to catch the pass and just turns and fires before he lands.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's just a terrible shot.
[SPEAKER_01]: I see.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not even close.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's a great scene.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I just saw a mugsy bugs.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember.
[SPEAKER_01]: where this was, but it was a recent interview and he was saying that he was almost not in space jam because he was recovering from knee surgery.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so the scene right at the end, sorry, we're spoiling a 30 year old movie.
[SPEAKER_01]: I assume you've seen space jam.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, there's that scene, but at the end, Michael Jordan comes back and he has that the funky looking ball that they all touched to get
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I, Mugsie has the best line in the scene where he's just like, guys, we suck.
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe Charles says that actually I should do.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've seen this movie 5,000 times I should.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I watched this movie every day for a month is a child one time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like a full month of February.
[SPEAKER_01]: I watched Space Jam every single day.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I can't remember who says that line.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's Charles Barkley actually.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now that I'm saying it, but Mugsie.
[SPEAKER_01]: They all get out.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're all sitting on bleachers and then they all get up to greet Michael Jordan and and Muggsy's kind of like hobbling over a little bit.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he said it was because he was recovering from knee surgery, but given the context of the movie, it just looks like he's lost his power.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's like, yeah, he's slow and decrepit and so it worked out great.
[SPEAKER_01]: But it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I never knew.
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he was just doing great acting, but apparently he was just in extreme pain.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was recovering.
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember Clay Thompson at the... Well, he was in space gym too.
[SPEAKER_00]: I only seen space gym too once, but like he was barely in the movie because he was supposed to be in it excellently, but he told his ACL in that Raptors warrior series.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's funny.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not funny,
[SPEAKER_00]: people having their talent taken away.
[SPEAKER_00]: I absolutely had their knees taken away.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the space jam curse seems like the new mat and curse perhaps.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've also only seen space jam two as well.
[SPEAKER_01]: And someone told me, or I remember seeing something around when it came up, that it's a full hour until the actual basketball game, which feels like a long buildup.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, oh, well, I guess I can't dispute it.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's for those that have a scene spaceship to it's basically the Brown and it's three kids like in real life, but they renamed them all.
[SPEAKER_00]: So yes, Brownie has playing basketball, but then there's Bryce who at the time, I guess he wasn't playing basketball, but I think he's playing basketball now, but like he wanted to do something else like make video games, whatever, and then there's a jury.
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are the real kids name.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what his kids name is in the movie.
[SPEAKER_00]: What's I don't remember, but like it was said is sitting around the middle child and him wanting to do something else other in the basketball.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a you remember more of the plot than I do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I just remember like, oh, this is price.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's not going to play basketball in real life.
[SPEAKER_01]: This must be like the bronze real life for me and like no price is going to Arizona and play the only thing I remember from that movie is the sorry to to spoil a five-year-old movie to come out after covid was it pre maybe 2020
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's say Space Jam a new legacy, 2021, baby.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Five years, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry to spoil a five-year-old movie.
[SPEAKER_01]: This really doesn't even spoil anything, but it's a joke where they bring Michael Jordan, but it's Michael B. Jordan, who happens to be watching the game from the crowd.
[SPEAKER_01]: Michael, who does play a little basketball if I recall correctly in Friday night lights?
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, actually maybe he doesn't.
[SPEAKER_01]: They recruit someone who's playing basketball, who is clearly not a basketball player.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like he's a tall guy who I believe they use as a tight end and why we're safer when he's on the team, but when they're trying to recruit him, he's shooting hoops and it's just, it's bad.
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks bad.
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like he has not shot a basketball before.
[SPEAKER_00]: What's it like that Disney movie double team with the twins?
[SPEAKER_00]: The girl that like there's only like three seconds left and she's just like traveling.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's not that bad.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just shitting around at a park.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's still traveling less than this girl at a live game to win the championship.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and she gave her her signature move.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like this elbow shit.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, boy, that's almost as bad as the sportsmanship commercial.
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, I know we've talked about this on the podcast.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is just, this is a best out of episode.
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll replay it again.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, shouldn't later.
[SPEAKER_00]: But well, it's just, it's, he doesn't even touch the ball.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the biggest thing is no one touches the ball.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he admits to touching it.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_01]: You've all seen this commercial.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's wonderful.
[SPEAKER_01]: dare I say Sean that the acting and that commercial is still better.
[SPEAKER_01]: the acting of seeing during the World Cup.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice transition.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the World Cup.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been in throttling, riveting.
[SPEAKER_00]: What are some big words that are, uh, attenuous arising, mesmerizing, mesmerizing, mesmerizing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, oh, my door is back there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, we all do.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even have an adjective.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're both leaving.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_01]: Two minutes of dead air in the pocket.
[SPEAKER_00]: We got the final for the semifinals for soccer.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry for football Coming up.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be France versus Spain Argentine versus England very chalk because those are the top four teams ranked in the world And we get the top four teams in the semifinals for the World Cup The World Cup has not been
[SPEAKER_00]: Without some controversy, I think the referee has been good, but of course, every time Argentina wins, there's allegations of corruption, because FIFA deserves it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not defending them, like the Argentina Egypt game where messages took over, they called a foul going to enter replay,
[SPEAKER_00]: two minutes later after it happened and after each of scored a goal so you took the goal away like like man that's just a bad way to do things like it okay yeah you thought them but like you don't see that like it's been a change of possession like a bunch of things has happened so it's wild that they can do that I don't know how I feel about that but I mean
[SPEAKER_00]: everybody's like, oh, he just scored immediately after that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they got there.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was definitely a ball built-in situation where they got the ball back and ran down the field and scored again.
[SPEAKER_00]: One of two well against Argentina.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they would have been up to the zero already and then message us to go over in Argentina.
[SPEAKER_00]: They can play defense for 11 minutes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's why each of us, like, come on.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was wild.
[SPEAKER_01]: That game was happening in our our company goes into the offices on Tuesday.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: And some most of us were in the office and I kind of saw one of my co-workers had it on and I was kind of peeking.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I'm like, oh, there's only like, you know, 15 minutes left.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go watch.
[SPEAKER_01]: Which is a perfect time to sit down.
[SPEAKER_01]: What does this come back at?
[SPEAKER_01]: And she was reading hard for Argentina.
[SPEAKER_01]: So she was thrilled.
[SPEAKER_01]: A literal leap out of the seat, which this is a dangerous move with rolling chairs sometimes.
[SPEAKER_01]: But literally at one point left out of the seat, but like, was almost like an uneven bar, or a parallel bars, and then gymnastics.
[SPEAKER_01]: fully off the seat, but her hands were like holding down onto the sides and just for a quick jump, it wasn't like she was doing advanced gymnastics up there, but it was very entertaining to watch.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we have a English coworker who she was written home for Egypt because she felt that would be an easier matchup.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, especially they played.
[SPEAKER_00]: So our team didn't even win, they didn't even meet extra time.
[SPEAKER_00]: They won on regulation, but down to go, this scored three goals, it was quite the comeback.
[SPEAKER_00]: The other games, the other controversy, I think it's just today, Norway versus England happened.
[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently, and I can see it, because I can't
[SPEAKER_00]: wires in on the screen, but apparently, you know, uh, the work up there, you to that sky cam that the NFL often uses on Fox, that, you know, that gives you kind of like that mad interview, uh, I'll play, well, apparently on a gold kick, the gold he kicked it and he hit a wire, it came down and England caught it, like, I mean, they got possession and dribble from
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't tell if I hit the wire, but still, this shouldn't be happening.
[SPEAKER_00]: It happens, what does it like we've had this for like over decades now?
[SPEAKER_00]: Why does this wire or the sky?
[SPEAKER_00]: It happened in the Cowboys jet scheme.
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember specifically, Cowboys would have had a pick.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe a pick six.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't ask me why I remember random week two.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was going to say you might be the only one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember interesting.
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the few cowboy wins, but like, I feel like the Skycam gets hit a lot and like nothing has been and they always claimed like, no, it didn't hit the Skycam.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, yes it did.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's dumb.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like Foxy's to get on that, like this keeps happening a lot here.
[SPEAKER_00]: But and then the last controversy, which totally worth it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it is the the crux of my,
[SPEAKER_00]: my catch-in today.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yesterday, a very bad stop-and-game, Argentina versus Switzerland, Argentina scored early.
[SPEAKER_00]: Messi's having a bad game.
[SPEAKER_00]: In the second half, Switzerland pretty much takes over.
[SPEAKER_00]: They score a goal, they draw even.
[SPEAKER_00]: and they're keeping possession and they're going to get another one because Artikina can't do anything and it's guy who I learned the same name in Bolo.
[SPEAKER_00]: He got a yellow in the first half because I'm very unnecessary tackle.
[SPEAKER_00]: Guy was clearing the ball and he just ran through his legs like that's a yellow don't do that shit.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then yesterday it was okay I understand the rule and people like are like
[SPEAKER_00]: getting mad at people defending the rule because like a lot of people are doing against Argentina for a geopolitical reasons, which I understand, but if you know the players like you, you root for the players and then if you don't know the players and you root for whatever country that you hate, or you don't, just for a country you hate less.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the only way to say that they were feeling- This was Switzerland's game before this one, but they said they were feeling neutral about Switzerland's victory.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not done this pretty good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, I get it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, this guy- Their flag is also a big plus.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, go ahead.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, I said that.
[SPEAKER_00]: This guy who's already on the yellow is dribbling ball towards the sideline and a guy's coming running up to him And you see him take a hard hit and he like rolls into the bench area like holding his knee And it's like oh dang and it looked bad because he went flying and so the the rest thought it was really bad too So he gave the Argentina player a yellow for like it was so unnecessary It looked like he just just ran and took him off the feet without even trying to get the ball
[SPEAKER_00]: And so like, are you doing a player like, no, no, no, no, and then he's like, because he's making a dive motion, so they're about to begin play.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're about to begin play, and the reference is standing there.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can see, you can kind of tell he's talking to somebody, and then he makes the square motion with his fingers, he draws a little rectangle.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a BAR review, and the commentaries are like, what?
[SPEAKER_00]: would have said it reviewed like this doesn't make any sense.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so you see the replay and then you see the most shady glitches Alexander flap of all time.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, oh no, and like so the rule is from multiple angles.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like it's like it's him.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's running with the ball.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I guess he knew the guy was coming.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he like just junks and like dives forward and the thing that kicked her for me is he like whips his head back.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like whenever someone's like doing way, like everybody NBA pretty much, anybody that drives in it, if they feel a little bit of contact, they'll whip their head back to try to draw a foul.
[SPEAKER_00]: It does this in mid-air and he kind of swings the only contact from the players when he was in mid-air He kind of swung his leg into the defender and so like you see that happening and then you start the commentator starts in
[SPEAKER_00]: They're like, oh no, because since his dive, Jua Yellow on the Argentina player, that's gonna, the rule is, that's gonna be reversed, and that's gonna be yellow on him, which would be his second yellow, which means he would be kicked out of the game, which, and the referee throws a card from a Uno deck.
[SPEAKER_01]: He pulls a Uno reverse card.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the show.
[SPEAKER_00]: The show.
[SPEAKER_00]: The show too.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're only.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so like, and it hasn't happened, like this record still in the review, but like that's where the players are saying they're like, why would see so stupid?
[SPEAKER_00]: He was on a yellow, why do you do that?
[SPEAKER_00]: But then they also don't like the rule because it's automatic because like you could have said like, oh, it's not worth another yellow to do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But since he was so good at doing it, if the rep hadn't had just called a foul on the Argentine player and not given him a yellow, then the Swiss player would have been fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: But since he gave a yellow to the Argentine player, then a yellow has to go to a Swiss player for faking it.
[SPEAKER_00]: He gets kicked out the game.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody's hollering, like, oh, it's corrupt, it's corrupt.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's rigged for Argentina again.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm just saying they're like, not dog.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all that dude's fault.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what we're doing, that's stupid shit.
[SPEAKER_00]: In a course, playing with Tim and Argentina, eventually, they had to get go to extra time now.
[SPEAKER_00]: What's with the penalties?
[SPEAKER_00]: But they had to wait for extra time to get their game.
[SPEAKER_00]: They got two more goals in Argentina one, and just... That was the breaks.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I know FIFA deserves all of the suspicion for Australia after the Trump-Balligan thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: But this one was legit, and it just, that's what happens to be the rules.
[SPEAKER_00]: If that dude just doesn't do stupid shit, maybe Switzerland advances.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and and shout out to Gregor Cobble to the Swiss Goli who man, some of those shots that he was blocking, yeah, they showed the replay and I'm like, you've got seven people in front of you, how are you even seeing the shot and there was one where he's he's running left and then the shot is behind him and he stops on a dime.
[SPEAKER_01]: blocks the shot, just fantastic.
[SPEAKER_00]: He had a great game, and it just, you know, you own a penalty kill in hockey times where, you know, the rest of for like a, for like 50 minutes same words.
[SPEAKER_00]: So like this tough.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you've got to be tired all the time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, exhausting.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're, they were playing in Miami, yeah, or was that the other game?
[SPEAKER_00]: They may have been in Kansas City.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they did because they made some chiefs reference.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: They were in Kansas City because England was in Miami.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was at OK. Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because like I remember the coach, the coach was shitting on him on his England team because he said they played bad even though they won.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll the commentary was like, hey dog, it's hot.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're in Miami.
[SPEAKER_00]: What do you mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Turns out it's actually valid when people are complaining about how hot dolphins and hurricanes games are later in the year when the summer in Miami.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Sean, that was not the only dive we saw.
[SPEAKER_01]: We also got a great one from Harry Kane.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, who?
[SPEAKER_01]: I missed that one.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's it's quite the treat.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was wild Norway was scoring their goal.
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, and You can make a push down.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he got he got pushed on.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's he's by his own goal trying to salvage a penalty.
[SPEAKER_01]: Meanwhile Norway is scoring the goal.
[SPEAKER_01]: I also saw
[SPEAKER_01]: I come out where someone was like, I can't explain why, but Harry Kane is the most British-looking man.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've ever seen, like, no man looks more like he's from the country, he is.
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then Harry Kane.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's quite accurate.
[SPEAKER_01]: I enjoyed it.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I liked with this one.
[SPEAKER_01]: He, and there was a little bit of contact, but not enough to go fly.
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, he's a big dude, and he's grabbing one leg as he's in the air falling down, and then as he's hitting the ground is grabbing the other leg.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I'm like, what's what is it now?
[SPEAKER_00]: And so it's just like, and I know people ask like, why don't they all get the others for flopping?
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you get contacted, even a little bit, and you go to the ground, it's going to, it might work out in your favor.
[SPEAKER_01]: But we, nobody has to literally touch you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, go fly into the bench.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why that one was a yellow.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, yeah, I remember hearing about that controversy.
[SPEAKER_00]: And everybody's put, like, one of the most, I'm famous American, not American.
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the most famous athletes in America in the past couple of months, early in Holland.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody fell in love with Norway and boy, he was just on fumes the entire game.
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess people in Norway are not used to my aiming weather because the boat was tired and he got subbed off actually in the aim because he's had nothing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he had a wide open shot that his teammate did not pass to him.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I need to find that replay because so I missed the first half of the Norway England game because I was playing hockey myself.
[SPEAKER_00]: We couldn't get into our own personal sports or my hockey weekend later.
[SPEAKER_00]: But so I missed that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then I kept hearing like I listened to like some YouTube shorts and they've talking about how Holland's teammate didn't pass in the ball when his wide open.
[SPEAKER_00]: It should have been 2 to 0.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it was I saw an alternate angle from the frog like from what you saw on the broadcast and it's pretty bad.
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll find We'll find I I got to find the clip for the show notes, but yeah, he's like Like why don't we on the broadcast it look like maybe oh, maybe you didn't have an angle to make a pass or something, but from the alternate angle it's
[SPEAKER_01]: pretty substantially wide up even if he kicks it a little beyond him like yeah there's no one else that it's wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's an a little bit of an easy oh that sucks man that sucks all this to say we got the top four teams
[SPEAKER_00]: But so far, France has been obviously the best team in their turn.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's not even the quality that they're playing with right now, which is unmatched, even after the Paraguay lady.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that still makes me so bad, but like, it's, I don't know what Spain's going to do, like, they got some good, I don't know if they're having a less scoring, or I don't know if they're attacking the,
[SPEAKER_00]: France, there are defense was questionable coming into the tournament.
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't need defense, because their attackers are still turned out when you score a million goals again.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're going to be, I think that's right now they're going to call it a win to work up just because they don't, they look too good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Sean with a bold prediction, they're not bold at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do want to, I very, greedily want to see a France, Argentina, rematch in the, in the work of final, rematch of the 2022, which some regardless, the greatest sporting event of all time, I can't argue against it, because that was,
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, like my soccer fan that was in his infancy at that time, and I'm like, I'm watching the best sport.
[SPEAKER_00]: I went to Pilates, Argentina won, but it's a great comeback from France.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sean, during some of the group stage games, when there were a lot more countries in the game, I would find myself rooting in matchups for a country.
[SPEAKER_01]: If I had visited there and had a good time this, so for an example, Chetchi of our South Korea, I've never been to South Korea.
[SPEAKER_01]: Short, it's lovely.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I was like, let's go, let's go checks.
[SPEAKER_01]: They ended up not winning, so, I'll clearly I have the curse, but-
[SPEAKER_01]: What country would you most like to visit of the former men in teams?
[SPEAKER_00]: The former men in teams It's either English or France.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would guess England, but because I wouldn't have to worry about a language barrier.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, because that's that kind of one of the things that, uh, hesitate on traveling, uh, overseas, I'm like, man, if I don't know language, I'm gonna get lost.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I know we have phones, and I know I could just translate on my phone like where I'm trying to go.
[SPEAKER_00]: But, uh, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I've seen a lot of, uh, London growing up, watching television, you know, be actually cool to see some of the places that I see on TV.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then Paris, I do want to go to Paris, um,
[SPEAKER_00]: But apparently they have a major heat wave right now, and people are dying, so maybe not right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'd say, hold off, I'm going right now, we will plan, we will plan a sports or dumb international trip.
[SPEAKER_01]: I will not let you get lost overseas, Sean, we will find.
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, but I, you know, occasionally you wind up on the wrong train or something, but it's like you're, you know, have you terrified now will be terrified, but I friend, I meet your friend Taylor's like she lived in London for a little bit, and so she made it sound great, and so I like to visit I think London's fun because there's so many different
[SPEAKER_01]: areas to it, where it's you know, you can get the very touristy vibe.
[SPEAKER_01]: You can go to Buckingham.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Sean wants double decker buses.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll go running for the platform of nine and three quarters.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been to all four of these countries on fun fact, but in London, you can you can ride a ride.
[SPEAKER_01]: You run into nine and three four platform nine and three fourth.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's
[SPEAKER_01]: is to hold your scarf, you put the scarf of the school that you want.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's to hold your scarf and then throw it in the air for the picture.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it looks like you're running.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm sure that I'm sure these people won't.
[SPEAKER_01]: Swat.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, there's someone else kind of monitoring the line and everything.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like obviously the photographer.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure these people swap.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a long line.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're different jobs.
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't too bad.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was probably.
[SPEAKER_01]: 10 to 12 people.
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't remember if it was something.
[SPEAKER_01]: This was pre-COVID so could all have changed.
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't remember if it's something that you booked in advance.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think maybe you did.
[SPEAKER_01]: You booked like a time to go.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you didn't do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, I didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you book it, did you book it time?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we have pictures.
[SPEAKER_00]: I can show you.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I know you book it out there.
[SPEAKER_00]: You just showed up.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe we have, I don't know, maybe.
[SPEAKER_00]: If the reserve turned into a wall like Harry Potter.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sean, I was 10 years ago.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't remember.
[SPEAKER_01]: You make it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe it's, maybe it's walk up.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then if it's super busy, maybe they start taking a reserve.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember.
[SPEAKER_01]: But if I, if I were rooting for these based on the enjoyment level of the visits, I have.
[SPEAKER_01]: The most recent place I've been to is England.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was three years ago, and I had a great time.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was during Christmas, went to the Christmas markets.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think I would have put Spain number one, architecture in Spain, phenomenal.
[SPEAKER_01]: I speak Spanish so I can, or, I mean, every year, I feel like I speak worse because I just don't practice regularly, but I was able to get around.
[SPEAKER_01]: Also,
[SPEAKER_01]: Everyone speaks English because English is taught in all these schools as a as a mandatory class It's not like an elective like we have here and I'd say second is England I like the variety of places around the country and then third I think I'm gonna go I didn't want to go France, but I remember
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not like a terrorist that much.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, oh no, sorry, my Parisian friends.
[SPEAKER_01]: I would like to go back though, I went with my family.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I was a teenager, so I probably would enjoy it more as an adult and quite honestly, French food though is the best out of all four of this.
[SPEAKER_01]: So really, French food is phenomenal, and I would love to go back.
[SPEAKER_01]: to other parts of France and try that kind of thing and then Argentina I also think I did not give the fairish shake of it because I was sick for part of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I had gone with two friends.
[SPEAKER_01]: You've met both of them.
[SPEAKER_01]: They stated our house where you won't give them shadows.
[SPEAKER_01]: But we did the Inca Trail which was phenomenal in Peru.
[SPEAKER_01]: You are just climbing through mountains and then you wind up at Machu Picchu and it's
[SPEAKER_01]: amazing and you're struggling so much but then you just pause and muck in your like this is this is glorious that's wonderful and then you'll see one of the guides who does this like three times a week just sprinting down the hill carrying like 40 pounds on their back and in flip flops
[SPEAKER_01]: Just working out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just just carrying other people's stuff because some of these some of these trips Which this is not the way to do it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I am fully of the belief that if you're gonna do something like this You should you should actually do it, you know, maybe maybe train a little bit do some hiking beforehand Get used to the acclimation or the elevation.
[SPEAKER_01]: I But some people I want real bougie experiences with their Inca trail ask experiences, so
[SPEAKER_01]: You see some people who are not caring their own equipment, because...
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got guts to do and so it's that's whatever, but that was great.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Argentina was one of the one of my travel compatriots had an aunt down there and so we were kind of going based off of her recommendations and I I feel like at at the time we were all mid-20s and I feel like a 55-year-old woman's recommendations are probably not going to drive with the kind of stuff that we
[SPEAKER_01]: We want to do so.
[SPEAKER_01]: They ended up doing some boat thing while I was sick and I went out to get gatorade and like some cold medicine and could not get back into the apartment.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a place with like a real dungeon master-esque key that you would put in and I was struggling so much, the woman who lived across the hall came outside.
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably this 70-year-old woman.
[SPEAKER_01]: With, you know, we had a brief conversation in Spanish where I was trying to convey that I couldn't get the key working and then she tried it.
[SPEAKER_01]: She couldn't get it working.
[SPEAKER_01]: And she just kind of shrugs like, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what the issue is and I'm like, great, no one does.
[SPEAKER_01]: No one knows why this key won't work.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I took my Gatorids with me, thankfully, I had a little back.
[SPEAKER_01]: So my Gatorids and my medicine with me found a, I think it was actually a French restaurant.
[SPEAKER_01]: And just had some good French food while I was hanging out in random Argentine and kind of walked around.
[SPEAKER_01]: And this was,
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably the the closest I could have been to getting lost because I didn't really have I had a phone with me But I think at a time I didn't have one that in card so it was yeah battery was like running low and then I got to a point where it was Within three percent of die and I texted the friends.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like I'm just gonna be at this place, but I think is near our apartment and
[SPEAKER_01]: Please find me and then I saw them walking by maybe 20 minutes later.
[SPEAKER_01]: So work that great We all caught up and then we went to some like one of our greatest good Yeah, but it was like it was it was fine.
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that good food I think I think windows out ice has I fun Sites and I'd like to go back again with my own kind of You know not be beholden to Other people's full-iters
[SPEAKER_01]: But all lovely, all great travelings the best, please do it.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all the listeners as well as Sean, who's going international, Colin Pitbull.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's 27, he's going to my Mr. Worldwide, or at least to one continent.
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's not worth a merit.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, that'd be cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see, I mean, I'll be 40 next year, decide what they do for my year 40.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I guess that's year 41, 40 years old.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what I'm going to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: People guys, what are you going to do when you turn 40?
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, dog.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, that sounds like ask me when I'm 40 too.
[SPEAKER_00]: I can tell you what I'm asking me when I'm dirt.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's gay.
[SPEAKER_01]: 41.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was an accurate response.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sean, do you have a note worthy hockey update?
[SPEAKER_01]: I would say our basketball league.
[SPEAKER_01]: We started off great, started losing by a bunch, and then really turned it on at the end and won.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was very much those, uh, Argentina.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was like a class.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was basically Argentina.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was going to say it was a classic like 13, four March Madness upset where the, it looks like it's going to be an upset the entire time and then the favorite.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we were definitely the better team and it took a while.
[SPEAKER_00]: to get we also missed forty seven lay-up say that it was bad or missing a lot not me though I made my lay-up did I do lay-up by some start sure down don't I picked up two wins this weekend a game on Saturday game on Sunday we I didn't score any but I think I was involved
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I think I've hit my peak as far as how good I'm going to be that was in my early to mid 30s.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm I think I'm getting old.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't have the, uh, quite the stem or burstler used to, but I'm not bad.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not bad.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying I'm a bad hockey player, but I, but I was, I was able to contribute to, uh, to well played wins this week, which is, uh, the, so the Friday night league, which we had a game inside of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the normally got played the game on Sunday the day we're recording this that is the higher league and I've been played in the higher league in a while and boy is fast all me.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was good the first period like all right I got I was just catching up to the speed of it but then by halfway through the second I was like oh my god so time here
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't help that I played the day before, and I went on a quick 15-minute run this morning on the treadmill.
[SPEAKER_00]: I just loosened up the legs after the last night, and so I didn't want to be too tight during the game today.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I had that whatever they call it, whatever animal that hops on your back when you're tired, it was on top of me.
[SPEAKER_01]: monkey.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a monkey.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's something parasite.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe if we'll go parasite.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, 300 pound kangaroo.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: How cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, well, Sean's googling that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you as always for listening and for dropping fun little reviews and comments.
[SPEAKER_01]: I commented on a podcast the other day, an independent podcast.
[SPEAKER_01]: And
[SPEAKER_01]: And in a, we're promoting sports or dumb actually in the, this network, but in part of a podcast challenge from well it depends labs shout out to my podcast connoisseur guru.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what how many titles she has, but Ariel Nissen Blatt, who's like one of the podcast experts, but she's putting together this thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: She's,
[SPEAKER_01]: And part of it Shawn is there's there's discounts on all these different kind of platforms and stuff So maybe we'll have a whole sports or dumb website with a line of merch should everything who knows who knows there's lots of good options to explore you could wear Shawn's face on your Body maybe on your own face.
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe we can make Shawn masks
[SPEAKER_01]: How good was Sean like N95 masks be where it's your entire face just on their their like mouth I'm here for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a library.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, we'll say we can get with that there's some good ones in the meantime
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you find out what animal this was?
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a bear bear.
[SPEAKER_00]: The bear is on your back, but maybe like when you're running track and you're running like the 400 meters in that home stretch and they're all tired, there's a bear jump.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's depending on the type of bear you should play dead, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Or like don't you make yourself big?
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's, I don't want to say one of them.
[SPEAKER_01]: One of them gets you killed.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, one of them get you killed.
[SPEAKER_01]: What?
[SPEAKER_01]: Which probably looked up for due diligence.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, there was a, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not funny, I think he's alive, but like there's this bison at Yellowstone that I do this running away This older gentleman running away from a bison at Yellowstone park and the bison changes him and he just He catches up to him and just like hurt and like flipped him up in the air and like the still shot It's just like the guy like 20 feet in the air doing like a cartwheel It's just like what
[SPEAKER_00]: he survived, but he did suffer some injuries.
[SPEAKER_00]: I can tell you that photo later.
[SPEAKER_01]: Excellent.
[SPEAKER_01]: We can't wait to see this very gord-up mammal.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sean, as it is true with many things in life, could be solved by a simple rhyme.
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually also saw a very fascinating
[SPEAKER_01]: description.
[SPEAKER_01]: Someone was trying to say how they, they were mixing up new hamster and Vermont, or I'm sorry, new hamster and Delaware, which are not that close to each other.
[SPEAKER_01]: But you might know Vermont and new hamster are next to each other on a map, and someone was saying that they didn't remember
[SPEAKER_01]: like they always forget where New Hampshire isn't where Vermont is comparatively and this person who at the end of this said I wasn't a horny teenage boy when I came up with this I'm a middle-aged woman but she said that for a month is I think where the grand t-tons are and so she was saying how That can't be right there right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's not that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it is it is
[SPEAKER_01]: But anyway, anyway, so it's too tough.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's not.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's in Wyoming.
[SPEAKER_01]: What I don't remember.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: They have something that must be called two tons and Vermont.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a great.
[SPEAKER_01]: Great ending to this podcast.
[SPEAKER_01]: Won't even ask for five stars for this one because it's not.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a winning episode, but
[SPEAKER_01]: Something that Vermont is like top, bigger at the top.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's like TT's at the top, and then New Hampshire is thicker at the bottom.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then in parentheses, she put Miss New booty and then explained that Miss New booty was a popular song when she learned this track.
[SPEAKER_01]: And
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you ever forget, that's how you move to booty.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how I remember it because Vermont is like it's it's Vermont New Hampshire Maine is in descending alphabetical order.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how I remember where they are, but perhaps it'll be helpful to you.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're looking at a map and you say this one's a little thicker on the bottom, remember it's New Hampshire.
[SPEAKER_01]: And there you go.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I, for our bear, because I was saying everything in life could be deduced to a rhyme or in this case, I guess, to a song from the mid 2000s.
[SPEAKER_01]: If it's black fight back, because black bears are smaller and less aggressive, you could probably scare it off.
[SPEAKER_01]: If it's brown lie down, Grizzlies are too big for you to scare off and more aggressive, so playing dead will help it decide you're not a threat.
[SPEAKER_01]: And leave you alone assuming it's not after a meal, so I would say probably also don't lie down next to food.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's probably not the best of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, and then if it's white, say good night.
[SPEAKER_01]: Polar bears are bigger than you, faster than you, stronger than you, and hungry.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that sucks, if it's light-shooted, like I don't know, like, if it's light-shooted, that does it rhyme, Sean.
[SPEAKER_01]: So unfortunately, you can't follow that advice.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because respecting advice that you remember via rhyme, not dumb, sports are dumb.
