Speaker 3 (00:35):
I honestly, I have no idea what day of the
week it is. I am none.

Speaker 5 (00:39):
You know we're here.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
I thought Tuesday was a Wednesday, Yesterday was a Friday,
the whole deal because of the holiday.

Speaker 4 (00:46):

that's volleyball night. That's the only day I know.

You know ours manzi blagno s I am Dan Beyer.
But we couldn't do it ourselves. We got our crew,
Christopher Feties here at the news. Ask hello, Chris, it
was Monday.

Speaker 6 (01:03):
Do this to us?

Speaker 3 (01:04):
So coming up? How do you pronounce Cape Verdy? So
you can either say just just how do you pronounce
cape Verdy? I like Cabo Verde, Cabo Verde. Jason Stewart,
our executive producer, how do you say it? How Chris
said it? And Alex ty shirt? What do you go
by cap Verdi?

Speaker 6 (01:23):
Hot day?

Speaker 3 (01:24):
There, I'm cape Verdi. That sounds like very very upper
Midwest of my roots.

Speaker 6 (01:30):
It's gonna say that's very Wisconsin.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yes, but I then try to spice it up with
their day. But I do think it's more Verdi, and
I don't say the cobo like Chris does.

Speaker 6 (01:42):
There's Alex, I think it's French. So that goes from there.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
That's that meme of that guy running up the canyon
in l A doing the jump rope with no shirt on.
Have you seen that?

Speaker 5 (01:52):
And he's France?

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (01:53):
Have you seen I'm sorry Portuguese, not French.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
That's that's that's Mancy right now, when she's doing the pronunciations,
just lapping all of us while jump roping in.

Speaker 6 (02:04):

Two more matches and then we've got the Round of
sixteen which will start tomorrow with matches on America's birthday.
So no stopping the World Cup. But Cape Verde is
in action today against Argentina. We just had Egypt and Australia.
Columbia in action as well against the Ghana as the

(02:48):
round of thirty two wraps up. Manti, you weren't here yesterday. No,
I listen. I know why this can't happen. I understand,
but I said, you know what I want World Cup
every two years, every like this is. This is great,
It's been awesome. I would rather have this one hundred
times than the Summer Olympics. I would, I think. And

(03:08):
I know it's like people love swimming and they love gymnastics,
and I'm not saying get rid of the Summer Olympics.
I'm just saying that in two years, the excitement and
we've got the Summer Games here in Los Angeles. But
I don't know if it's going to rise to the
level of the excitement that this has provided over the
last three weeks.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Right, and the excitement I think anyone who's been tuning
in started because USA, they start and I mean Americans,
Americans here. We started tuning into the World Cup because
USA was winning. But I think now the excitement is
coming from all the matches, all of the If you're
if you're watching a match in the World Cup, you
might be at the edge of your seat by the

(03:45):
end of it.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
It doesn't matter if USA is not playing.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
I when we just had Mark Medina in studios during
the penalty kicks as we're watching Egypt and Australia, and
whether you like it or not, you're watching it. You're
being drawn into it. And I think it was I
think it was great. I thought that what we saw
there tells you the pressure of the moment. I also

(04:08):
find something interesting. Oh, Chris Purfett, you got something, Chris.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
So it's not going to be the World Cup. But
I was just looking it up. And I know the
US was part of the last Copa America in twenty
twenty four, and I think they are going to be
part and will host games for the Copa America twenty
twenty eight. It's not the World Cup, but we do
have these like Interworld Cup years with euro Championship COPA.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
I won the World Cup every two years. Yeah, and
I know it's not feasible. I know that there's qualifying.
I understand that. But my point is is this is
just too good of a thing to have every four years.
And I'm sorry if we sound ignorant in saying this,

(04:53):
because it took it to come back to the United States.
I remember when it was here in nineteen ninety four.
Monzi doesn't again, but I do remember when it was here,
and so it was a so to have this sort
of moment in the see how great it's been in Mexico,
to see you last night, you know, the match in Vancouver,
and all the matches that they've had, the match in

(05:15):
Toronto between Portugal and Croatia, all magnificent, all awesome, and
it's just great. And I'm gonna be really sad when
it is gone.

Speaker 5 (05:25):
Yeah, I'm gonna be really sad that I don't get
to yell that was not off sides. I am on
my TV.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
And that's what leads us to something that I will
I will not miss people wanting to change off sides.
Do you want to change off side?

Speaker 4 (05:39):
No, I don't want to change off sides. If it's
yes or no, the answer is no. I think maybe
is there a way to slightly alter it?

Speaker 2 (05:48):
No?

Speaker 5 (05:48):
You can't. You know what I'm saying, Like no, it
would change the game of.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Soccer completely completely, Alex Teishirt, I think I know the answer.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Do you want to change off side in soccer? I'll
try to do my best version of the drop? Hell no,
hell no, are you kidding? That's the beauty of the
game is tacticality. Imagine if you could cherry pick rinaldo
would be the greatest. Then I don't want that. Yeah,
it builds like this strategy where you have to like
perfectly time your run, like you have to literally look
at your guy across the field, give.

Speaker 6 (06:17):
Him that twinkle and dip as soon as he kicks
the ball.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
You know.

Speaker 6 (06:20):
Great?

Speaker 3 (06:20):
That is to watch uh a big a hold on
a second, yes, mister soccer Fox Sports Radio, which you
could maybe challenge later on in the show. Chris Purfett
took down Mike Lingard in a showdown a few weeks
back on who was mister Soccer and uh Perfet ended
up winning because of the variety of jerseys that he had.
I think was ultimately the decider. But if you'd like

(06:43):
to challenge him, just let let us know.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Well, I have a nineteen seventy two beer Loft Germany jersey.
So this might it interesting? What this might get interesting?

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Chris Purfett.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
I feel like arguing against off sides is like arguing
about like, oh, I should be able to line a
wide receiver up in the neutral zone in American football.
It makes no it makes no sense whatsoever. It's like,
I want to have this guy, you know, be able
to jog in front of the line of scrimmage before
a play is off, Like what do we do? I
think the thing is, though, it's like, because we have

(07:15):
var because we see, oh he's just offside by a
bit of his toe, or or just in the wrong
place of the road, like just a little bit of
the foot, it makes people incensed and weird about it.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
I think Rinaldo's yesterday was a lean right, His body
was leaning a certain way, and so it ended up
being the difference. And then there's no more call in
that same match that made people furious than the offsides
that was called against Croatia, But I want to be fair,
Jason Stewart, do you want offsides changed in the in
the game of soccer?

Speaker 7 (07:47):
Okay, in the World Cup. I do need to qualify this.
I I do not care about soccer. I never have.
In fact, I've always found it an annoying. Part of
our job is to talk about soccer. So I come
from it from that perspective. I'm as we loving the
World Cup though, and I understand, like intellectually.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
Grasp this concept.

Speaker 7 (08:06):
If you took away the like the five second count
in basketball, in the center and the power forward could
just sit in the key or sit down low the
whole time, that would take away the fun of the sports.
So why would you take away off sides. There's a
reason why the rules in place. Right at the same time,
it's a major bus kill. If you have money against
the other team, it's a major buzzkill.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
And that's where we get a lot of the Also,
I don't think people wanted Portugal and Ronaldo to win,
so they felt that Croatia was getting robbed. Yeah, with
how played out like there's there are rooting interests.

Speaker 6 (08:39):
Well, they did get robbed.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
They you thought on the deflection did you think that
that is that the play that you're calling are.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
You're saying that it should have been off sides on
the Portugal I.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Think there was three off side goals Croatia had that
should have probably not totally been called if you think
about it, Like, I think they were the better team.
They dominated. Modrich is like literally the best player I've
seen on a small standpoint besides Messi. I don't know
if he's fourteen or forty, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
But I thought he's fifty eight? Is he? Yeah, it's insane.
Well he looks like a teenager who smokes up.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, and see, Like this is the thing that hurts
Ronaldo the most is like eighty minutes he was on
the field, nothing besides a PK. They take him off
a goal within five minutes. That kind of says something.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
To me that Ronaldo is not needed. We had Eric
Ronaldo on about a week ago, a week or so ago,
and he said that for as great as you know
Ronaldo has been, and as great as Ronaldo has been
to him, he commented that when you were watching Ronaldo
it looked like he was maybe being lackadaisical, and they're like, no,

(09:36):
that's just how fast he can run, now, Okay, that's like,
that's where he was. So that was the point that
Nalda made and.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
That was his thing. He just was outrunning everybody. And
now you can't do it because age.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
But he got his first PK goal of his of
his World Cup career. But Alex's point, the game winner
came with him not on the pitch and him on
the bench. But that's not the play that people are
talking about the most. It's the one on the deflection
on the off side set had Croatia end up losing

(10:08):
their goal. And it's another element of off sides that
I love and it's because, yeah, it is. It is
a game of inches. You don't think, and I'm parafer.
I don't want to. I don't want to put words
in your mouth. Did you think that it was fair?
Did you think that offside should have been called on
Croatia on the goal that they had wiped out because
of the deflection.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
I thought it was not offsides because the defend the
defender touched the ball.

Speaker 5 (10:34):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
I did not see the own Croatian player touch the ball.

Speaker 8 (10:40):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (10:40):
I don't. I didn't see it.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
I didn't see I know now you guys told me
there's a chip on the ball. Didn't even know there
was a chip on the ball, and that that's but
like when I watched the video, I did not see that.
I thought the defender with with his hat, with his
head had an intention.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
He tried to get it and hit it, and so
I didn't think it was offsides.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
I was.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
I was very surprised.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
And not only is there a chip in the ball,
but FIFA even put the graphic up on their social
media page. If you can think of a of a
flat line, and it peaked when the ball was touched,
and so that tells you all you need to know.
And I say to myself, that is awesome like that
that is some people may hate it, and I think

(11:18):
that it is so awesome that I'm on a call
that I don't care how many HD cameras you have,
you cannot see it. But that technology allowed us to
see that there was a deflection, and whether it did
or didn't have an effect on the goal, it still
affects the play and that's part of the genius in
all of it. And I love that aspect of it.

(11:40):
And maybe it is because I'm newer to it. But
to be able to get screwed like that is a
part of sports, sure, and that's the part of it
that I know it's stung for Croatia, and I know
it's going to stick with them forever. But I felt
that it was an awesome play and what awesome technology
to be able to use to be able to make

(12:01):
that sort of call. I want to see it in
the NFL on a chip in the ball. Well, yeah,
there is a chip in the ball now that we know.
But to be able to use that sort of thing,
so like on a pass interference call, you could say, like, hey,
so and so tipped it. Look did the ball move
or not? Did the player get his hand on it?
Did he deflect it? On a field goal kick? You
would be able to get that information from this technology.

(12:22):
Did he missed the field goal? Did somebody get a
finger on it? Look it was touched right at that moment,
Because that's what we got last night. I think that
the NFL should use some of this stuff. How about
the NBA ball goes out of bounds? Did he touch
it last? Who touched it last? At this point? Like,
there's way that that technology could be used, that could
be helpful, and while it didn't side with Croatia yesterday,

(12:43):
it gave a clear answer that in one way or
another it was touched by the player, So you can't
really argue about it. And that's what I think is magnificent.
I think it's great, Dan. I agree with you.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
You do in all sports because we always argue the
human element makes sports sports. I disagree, it's the game
that makes sports. Love the game. How much would it
suck to know Croatia one but they shouldn't have? How
is it awesome to knowe Ronaldo got that PK because
the defender pulled him down and after reviewing it they
saw he infringe the play on the side or the
corner kick. So these things are going to make sports better.

(13:13):
Like we're always afraid of technology, like oh my god,
it's self driving cars. Oh no, what's going to happen next?
But now think about sports in this aspect, literally, the
best team is going to win.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Let me go ahead, Manci, I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (13:23):
Have any of you seen flubber?

Speaker 3 (13:25):
No I did.

Speaker 7 (13:26):
That's a great pull, So we get there. The flubber
that was made recently or the flubber from like nineteen forties.
I saw the original one from the nineteen forties. Recently,
what is recently the last twenty years?

Speaker 6 (13:40):
Right, the last twenty years. They remade it with Robin Williams.
Were put stuff on your shoes and you bounce up
and down.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
But then the ball and they put something on the
ball that was a remake. Yeah, okay, but you're saying
recently it wasn't recently.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
How that's flubber two, rub a dub, rub a dub.

Speaker 5 (13:57):
I'm just like, are we that's Alex.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
You make a great point, you two Dan. It's like
you want it to be right. You want it to
be right. I just think, like technology, how far are
we going to go? And finding this out is like, oh,
so no one's controlling the ball. You're telling me that
there's nothing swaying the ball either way.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
Get out of my face.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
I don't like that there's a chip in it. But
you're right when I when you say you want it
to be the right call. So it's like, I don't
have an argument. I just don't like it.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Can I pull them Medina here and give Manzi credit
on her point, Alex, I'm curious your thoughts, Chris, your
thoughts as well, because I brought this up yesterday, sorry
to take a shot at Mark Medina when he wasn't here,
but I'm going to kind of slide to herself. Mark, Yeah, Mark,
I'm gonna pull the Medina here. Okay. Manzi's got a
point because I think the most famous call in soccer
is hand of God.

Speaker 6 (14:46):
Yes it is, yeah, which was.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
A goal that never should have happened and wouldn't happen
in today's game. So I think, you know, to Manti's
to Monti's point about that that is tough to argue,
but I still would with Alex, and I still would
side with Chris that I think that yesterday's play was great.
It's just that goal is the most popular goal ever scored.
That shouldn't have been a goal, right right, So yeah, Chris,

(15:12):
I may.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
If I may positive Devil's advocate here, if I said,
because there's always I used to believe when I was
a lot younger that like I hated instant replay in
the NFL, I hated twenty minutes or whatever it was
when we would go to the monitors. I think centralizing
has made it better. We opened up Pandora's box trying
to adjudicate pass interference. But I always think about people arguing.

(15:35):
I think I was watching in NFL films about people
arguing on the immaculate the immaculate catch, you know, the
famous Pittsburgh Steeler play, and there were rare I think
there were old Raiders players in there arguing that that
should not have been a real catch, that it was
off the ground or something happened. I just I sit
here and I wonder if we had had video replay
back then, and if that had revealed the immaculate catch

(16:00):
reception themacular reception. Excuse me, if the imacular reception hadn't
been a reception, we just wipe out that piece of
our history. I understand the poll to get it right,
But at the same time, I saw what happened in
the NFL for so long, where it's been thirty minutes
reviewing something. It slows down the game. It kills some
it kills a lot of emotion about a game. And

(16:22):
I wonder, for those one percent of plays that we
argue about all the time, is it worth it?

Speaker 6 (16:27):
Is it worth it? At the end of the day.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
I gotta say this, I actually thought the drama of
the goal was good mm hmm. For that aspect of
it yesterday of seeing it now, does every single goal
need to be reviewed? I'm not sure. But in that instance,
it was so dramatic and it was so heartbreaking, and
I know what breaks up the rhythm, But there's also
I think a dynamic where it does add some drama

(16:50):
to it, which I think is is a positive. So
I would counter those as saying like it just breaks
up the rhythm of the game. But man, when it
goes to that, when the ref comes out and has
to push everybody off and he does his square thing,
that's like judgment day. Bring it, let's hear the decision.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
Which is what's crazy, because I feel like a lot
of Americans here find soccer boring, and that's been the
exact opposite of the World Cup.

Speaker 5 (17:11):
The World Cup has been so dramatic that goal.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
We were I was at the Dodgers yesterday because it
was a wild day. We'll get into that, but we
had the game on and every we instantly started arguing
with each other, whether that was off sides or not.

Speaker 5 (17:24):
And again, we don't care.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
What was Nobody there was rooting for Croatia or Portugal,
you know what I'm saying, And instantly. It created a
conversation within us in the office, and we were split.
We were arguing about it. And I love that because
I feel like a lot of people, a lot of Americans,
associate soccer as boring, and the World Cup has been
the last thing it's been has been boring.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
Imagine if a wide receiver on every touchdown got like
a five yard head start, right, we'd be like, this
is dumb. Yeh, this is ridiculous, Like that's what would
happen if you like got rid of off sides. Essentially,
it'd be terrible.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
And you know what's fun though, I love about this because,
like you're saying, drama now, thing about this, right, we're
playing the biggest game in US history. I could argue
against Belgium without our best score because of the drama.
I love it because everybody, I guess Yvonte in the
back shouts to him. He said, I'm like the only
person saying that was a red card and it was
the way. Yeah, if you really watch everything now, right,
we wouldn't have seen that with Madrick, we wouldn't have

(18:18):
seen the goal, callback we wouldn't have seen half of
these were a guy's toes off sides for it. I
love it, and think about it. If you pods on
that perfect angle, it looks like Belligan snapping this guy's angle.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Did the same thing the other night, and he called
a mumbling thing about it.

Speaker 6 (18:32):
That be the best player in the world ten years,
maybe you'll get better calls.

Speaker 5 (18:36):
We're just don't make it right.

Speaker 6 (18:38):
Yeah, I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
You know, if you look at Messi's side by side
with this, it's completely different. This guy attacks from the back,
steps on his ankle and slides down the back of
his whole calf. That's a red card in any aspect.
Just don't make that challenge. And I love it. I
love they got it right now. America is going into
this next game having to prove who they are and
it's beautiful too.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
So I brought this up because I think, and I
think this is a little different like the part that
I think the the official, the referee in the the
US Bosnia Herzegovina match, he was given once it went
to the review, he was only given two options, either
nothing or he gets a red card. There was no
middle ground on the yellow card portion of it. If
he was given a yellow card in that moment, do

(19:19):
you think there would have been a review for a red.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Probably still you still think so, yeah, because the VR
now whistles in and tells him like, hey, dude, you
have to look at this again. So they probably saw
something and told him like, it's a it's a worse
step he did than we thought.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
Okay, so so fair enough. But then my point is
is if he was already given a yellow at that point,
would that official then say, well, I can't give him
a red. I don't think it would warrant him to
miss another match. I am good with him getting a yellow.
Like So that's so like when we were talking about
changing off sides, it's a or is there a chip

(19:54):
in the ball and should it count as offsides or not?
To me, that's a completely different VRA conver station than
the red card. Because the red card, the official was
cornered into a decision where it was you're in jail
or you're scott free. And if there was any sort
of punishment that was allowed to like if the foul
was called on the field to give him a yellow card,

(20:17):
I think everybody would have been cool with it. And
that wasn't the case. It was two extremes you either
got away with it or you got penalized for it.
And I think that when we look at it, the
penalty was way too extreme for what we saw. Now.
Alex may feel differently, but I think if you gave
him a yellow card and that the rules allowed you
to just keep the yellow card, I think everybody would

(20:39):
have been cool with it.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah, I think you're saying, by letter of the law,
that was the right call.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
But do you think it was a soft call?

Speaker 4 (20:45):
Because I immediately texted my brother, the soccer player, and
he's like, to me, that was a soft call.

Speaker 5 (20:50):
But he didn't say it was the wrong carrime. You
get what I'm saying. He didn't say that.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Well, it's true without VR you could get away with it.
But again, when you pause at that one spot, that
guys ankle could have been snapped if he stepped a
little too hard on it right there, that's a bad
don't you think it?

Speaker 4 (21:05):
If you don't stop it there, it doesn't look like
Baaligan knows that that guy's coming from that.

Speaker 5 (21:10):
Side, Well he's behind.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
I think it's I think it was incidental there, And
to be honest, I feel like it only looks bad
in slow motion, and that's where we keep coming back
to this, and this is the where video will lie
to you constantly, repeatedly, all the time. It only looks
bad in slow motion because we're catching it in this moment.
And now because of that, the US had to play
for ten men for about sixty minutes and now won't

(21:34):
have their best player in the next game. It's a
call that I would never see done to a country
like France or England. It just it's it's ludicrous that
that's the kind of penalty it carries here.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
It is orange card, orange card. You missed the rest
of this stuff, but you can play in the next stop.
How about that? It's the middle of red and yellow. Yes,
orange card. It blends. It's got like a three D
glass and it's like, oh, it's like translucent. You hold
it like a cross across each other. Yeah, there you go.
We don't have him for the rest of this match,

(22:06):
but you do have him in the next snatch. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (22:10):
Imagine the voice too, He's like orange, yes, freaking holds.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Both of them up. Could one go down? Could one
go up?

Speaker 6 (22:16):
Could they cross the Roman thumb in the day?

Speaker 5 (22:19):
Yes, this.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Is where soccer needs to go. Quit with the I
don't understand off side, so I don't want it conversation.
This is where the conversation needs to go when it
comes to uh to uh, the the great the greatest game.
Is that what they call soccer?

Speaker 6 (22:36):
The beautiful, beautiful, the.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
Beautiful game that's so beautiful.

Speaker 6 (22:39):
Yes, that's Lexi.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
In case you didn't know, we get both, you get
Alex Tycher and Lexi.

Speaker 6 (22:45):
So Lexington, Thank you.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Alex is in a couple of hours earlier than before,
Monty's here on weeknights, Chris can be as well. Fox
Sports Areadio weeknights here a completely different animal. Yes, like
it is, it is. There's names that I've never heard
of from people that I've known for years. Oh this
is this is Cavino and Rich here on Fox Sports Radio.

(23:07):
Guys were in for Dan Patrick wrapping up their Dan
Patrick Patrick earlier in the day. So Moncey and myself
are happy to sit along with you as our Chris Prefet,
Jason Stewart and Alex Tyshert.

Speaker 8 (23:20):
Fox Sports Radio had the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox sports
Radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
All right, get in line. That's what they did last
night at Dodger Stadium and it was a long, long
line for a Thursday. That means today is Friday, Friday, Friday.
There is no Covino in Rich because they were doing
the Dan Patrick Patrick. So you've got Mancy Milanios and myself,
Dan Byer, and you've got the big a Alex teishirt.

(23:50):
You've got Jason Stewart and Chris Burfett, who you hear
at the news desk rolling along as we head into
fourth of July weekend.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
Yeah, and Ourgentina and.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
What we're saying, I say, cape Verde, cape Verde.

Speaker 9 (24:05):
No, Well, Chris is a Cabo Verde that just underway
at the FIFA World Cup and the excitement of the
FIFA World Cup is now streaming live on Fox one,
the official English streaming platform to catch every unforgettable moment.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
Fox one brings the action straight to your screen, so
you never miss a goal. Download Fox one and experience
the FIFA World Cup live.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
I love it when people are interactive, and they're always
interactive with Cavino and Rich. We aren't live streaming today,
but it does give me an opportunity to read a
tweet that Nate sent into us. I'm saying, in regard
to the Rory McElroy conversation Jason Stewart, Nate said, I
really thought they were going to compare Phelps wearing his
Olympic speedo only to Wimbledon. And I think that is that,

(24:49):
you know, would be maybe a little bit more apropos
in this case. Where do you really want to do that,
Michael Phelps instead of just the the gold medals speedo.

Speaker 7 (24:58):
I'm guessing there isn't social is an Olympic speedo, right
or the one that he actually wore.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Yeah, I guess that's a weird one.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
That's a stretch at because he wasn't given the speedo
for winning.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
That's true, it's a little different.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
I just like the tweet.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
Tell no, it's great, it's great. And maybe Michael Phelps
is wearing the speedo under his clothes.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
He's got so many medals, right though, I've seen guys medal.
Justin Rose, when he won the Olympic gold as a joke,
would use that as his ball marker on a putt.
I love that, or to bring that out and say
like this is where I mark my ball? Manzi now
has missed golf. She knows what marking the ball is.
By the way, I want to put this out there.
I've done some work behind the scenes, and we're gonna

(25:42):
get to what happened to you yesterday. Manzi's never played
a hole of golf in your life. In fact, the
first time you're at a golf course was with me
last month at the US Women's Open at Riviera. You've
played top golf before, sure have. We're gonna get Manzy
on the course to play a hole of golf, and
I've started to do some of the work. I think

(26:03):
it can be done, so at some point after one
of these days, one of these shows. It can't be
next week, unfortunately, but we will get out there and
we will record you playing a hole of golf and
see what your actual score would be on one hole
for the first time.

Speaker 5 (26:20):
Can't wait to show you how good I am. I
am an athlete.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
The question then remains, will you buy a new outfit
for this? Because you bought a new golf outfit for
the US Opens? Gives you a reason to do something you.

Speaker 6 (26:32):
Have no idea.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
Absolutely, do I get a dressed do I get a
skirt with a top?

Speaker 5 (26:38):
What am I gonna do?

Speaker 6 (26:39):
I'm so excited with so many different options.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
Do I have to get shoes? Do you have to
get special shoes? Do I have to get Jordan's with
spikes in them?

Speaker 3 (26:46):
You can? You can. I don't know if it will
will really help the cause, but Jason Stewart, you're welcome
to attend when this goes down. I think we can
make this work.

Speaker 5 (26:54):
Am I gonna slip if I'm not wearing spiky shirit?

Speaker 3 (26:57):
It would help if you had traction, But then again,
I'm not sure how much of a difference it would make.

Speaker 5 (27:02):
Okay, Okay, all right.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
But if you want to look into a pair, go
right ahead.

Speaker 5 (27:06):
Yeh yeah, I might, I might.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
Maybe what you could do is you could take one
of those Dodger cards that they gave away last night.
If you have one, sell it, and then you can
buy new golf shoes and new golf outfit and maybe
put a down payment on a house if you'd like.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
I was gonna say, I could buy several golf shoes,
several outfits with the one piece card that I got
yesterday for working at the Dodgers because I was not
here with I wasn't here hanging out with you guys,
because it was a mad house Dan like I didn't.

Speaker 5 (27:37):
I've been at the Dodgers for so many years. I've
seen it all.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
I've seen it all year one with Otani and his
first bobblehead. That first day with Otannie's bobblehead was absolutely
nuts because at that moment it wasn't every person gets one.
It was capped at forty thousand. Yes, it's still a
lot now with Otani bobbleheads. Everyone gets one. They just
don't want to deal with it. You get one, you
just have to get there. I believe before the fourth

(27:59):
or fifth th if in case anyone's listening, they do
just take the boxes away after I think believe it's
the fourth inning, So make sure you get there. But
as long as you get there when game time starts,
if it's an no Tony bible head, you're gonna get it.
I was there for Yoshi Yoshi's babblehead for a Yamamoto.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
That was a nutty day as well.

Speaker 4 (28:15):
But yesterday when I got into work, I was driving
in around one o'clock and I've seen a line before outside.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
Of Dodger Stadium built up for these events.

Speaker 6 (28:22):
But This line was different.

Speaker 4 (28:24):
This line was like people have been camping now for
I don't know how long. I mean lawn chairs, I
mean umbrellas, I mean you're watching soccer on a TV
type of situation. They were there for hours waiting to
get a card where they upped the giveaway to fifty
two thousand. I don't know if any anyone went to

(28:48):
the game and.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
Didn't get one.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
If you arrived by the first inning because it was
fifty two thousand, you got a one piece card and
a one.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
Piece hat that looks almost like a gardener hat.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
Sure it's a wicker like.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
Yeah, small brim around Prior to this, I still I
still don't know what one piece is. I'm sure Alex
Tischer can tell us a little bit more about one piece.
But the attention, the the amount of people that really
wanted to get their hands on this was quite impressive.

(29:22):
And I don't know if there's anything I would want
that badly to sit outside for for At this point,
there were a rumors. I don't know if it's true,
but I heard that people were lined up at three
in the morning. It's confirmed that they were lined up
at eight am, because that's when some of the.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Tour guides arrived this it feels like it has a
Black Friday aspect.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
Yes, that's a perfect description for it.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Just instead of saving money, you're hoping to sell and
make a lot of money. Alex, can you give us
a description and then Chris Purfett after But what exactly
is the one Piece? Because Manty explained it, try to
explain it to me when she told me about this,
and I was very unfamiliar with it as well.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
The One Piece is real. It's literally anime's god. Like
we're talking about the goal of goals for FIFA. This
is literally the reason why anime is what it is
in our States is because of One Piece. It is
the biggest falled show, the longest running show still going.
It is one of the biggest fandoms I've ever seen
when it comes to a show in general, Like this
is more massive than Game of Thrones. This is more
massive than anything you can think of globally. One Piece

(30:25):
is that thing. Like they've literally greenlit the guy who's
still running it right now to write as long as
he wants until he's finally completing it. Because it is
so massive and bringing in so much money. It's almost
like the god of anime. It's insane. When I was
making anime content, if you would say anything related to
one piece, your video got traction. If you never had followers,
never had a video with anything you talked one piece,

(30:47):
people would follow it. And it's insane to know, like
it's that big so to collide with Dodgers, I don't
know what they were expecting in all honesty, Like I
was hearing about reports like people were waiting with one
hundred dollars bills buying it from people. I was hearing
people got thrown out and their halls were confiscated. Like
what did the Dodgers think we're gonna happen?

Speaker 5 (31:04):
Okay, I don't. I literally why I told the guys this.
I was walking by center Field.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
Gates opened early for the public right because it was
so they didn't they didn't have space to keep the
lines growing in the parking lot, so they had to
open the gates early for everybody. I walked near center
Field whereas the majority of the people are coming in,
and there was a dude standing with three one hundred
dollar bills flashing them three hundred dollars for your card,
three hundred dollars for your card, right, And then I
walk a little further down and there's a dude holding

(31:30):
two fifty dollars bills and I said to the dude,
you gotta step your game up, bab there's a guy
over here with three hundred dollars.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
What are you doing?

Speaker 4 (31:36):
And then a guy heard me say that with a
couple and the guy was like, yo, the guy with
three hundred dollars. I jokingly said to him, give me four,
and the guy pulled out another hundred and he had
to call the bluff.

Speaker 5 (31:46):
He said, I'm just kidding. You can't have this. I'm
I'll give it to you for a thousand.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
And the guy's like, no, I'm not gonna pay a
thousand because that's kind of what you can sell it
for without.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
Even being graded.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 5 (31:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (31:54):
But like I don't know, I did see that there
was like security that got involved with some people. I
don't know what them went because when I saw the
guy with the three flashing dollar bills, nobody was bothering him.

Speaker 5 (32:03):
He wasn't. He also was he was just standing there,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
And he wasn't getting kicked out or anything something more
must have developed for people to have been pulled away
like it was. I'm telling you people were doing it,
but it was just like how far did you push it?

Speaker 5 (32:15):
You know what I mean? Nuts.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
I think it's sad though, because like the whole concept
of anime and even Pokemon cards right, like this trading
card phenomenon is kind of disgusting in my opinion, Like
kids can't even go to targets by cards anymore, right,
and it's heartbreaking.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Yeah, I completely agree, Chris Prevett. I know you want
it in, but there's something else I want to say
about the sale of it. Chris, go ahead, No.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
I was going to say, like I was actually going
to change. I think you covered basically one piece is
basically this generation like it was Dragonball Z for me
growing up, but.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
This is bigger.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
But like, yeah, no, I know, I talked with bo
ben So some one of our producers on the weekend
and it's you're watching guys online ripping like ten thousand
dollars worth of pack worth of Pokemon card packs. It's
the collectible industry is just kind of out of control
at this point as far as just guys who are
just sharks sharks the water just going hard for this stuff,
and it kills any enjoyment kids can get from getting

(33:04):
any of this.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
I will say this, I think Monty said that you guys,
you ordered something off of Fanatics. That's the only way
that I would I would not buy anything in a
store anymore because I just assumed every single pack was
weighed and the special cards and the inserts have already
been sorted out. So the likelihood of you actually pulling
a special insert from a pack which would have a

(33:27):
different weight. And I know companies have tried to like
combat that in the sports collectible game that tried to
make the weights even, but that's how people would, Oh,
this one is six tens of a you know gram higher,
so it must have a uniform card or jersey card.
And yeah, it's it's crazy to me to think, like
of the craze of it. But when I just go

(33:47):
to eBay right now, and Mancy's not lying when she
says it's one thousand dollars, there's an auction going on
that ends in two days that right now is at
nine hundred and sixty dollars. Is it's not just somebody
posting it up and saying like I want twelve hundred
dollars for it seems like twelve hundred dollars maybe a
sweet spot.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
It seems like it. Yeah, see you need to get more.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Yeah. But now this one here is at about nine
to sixty and it's gotten up that high with thirty
five bids since being posted.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
The last You should look at the last ones they did.
Dan PSA ten's were selling for thousands of dollars. So
imagine going to a game and how much your tickets manzie.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
Well, yesterday Foot in the Door was pushing four hundred,
five hundred bucks.

Speaker 5 (34:26):
Okay, by the here's what I Alex.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
Last year they announced the one piece giveaway with the
promotional calendar a start at the start of the season,
so people could it's with all the stuff, right, but
they never said a card was happening. That card was
done that day and nobody knew. So the hat, everybody knew,
oh we're gonna get a hat, and then you got
the card. This promotion was added three four weeks ago,

(34:50):
and I think they did it on purpose. So the
promotional calendar came out and there was nothing for one piece,
and then like a month ago they were.

Speaker 5 (34:55):
Like, hey, guess well, we're gonna have a one piece promotion.
And I was like, ohh and they're like, so you
need to be working that day, and I was like,
what's on one piece? Is this a band?

Speaker 6 (35:04):
Like?

Speaker 4 (35:04):
I truly was like, I don't know what this is.
And so last year that's how it went down.

Speaker 5 (35:09):
People didn't know This year.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
They did say it was happening with another card, but
they just announced it like a month ago.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
I would have thought one love one piece eeacee if
I would have heard it like that to your point
of not understanding what it was, I.

Speaker 6 (35:25):
Was a fifty year Bob Marley tribute. What were we
doing one piece?

Speaker 5 (35:30):
I literally thought it was a band or like a song.
I was like, I don't know what this is.

Speaker 7 (35:34):
I just know that I've never felt more out of
the note cause I'm I'm a Dodger fan, so my
timeline is filled with Dodger stuff. And all it was
was was this the lines and the news about this thing.
And I tried to read like a paragraph recap of
what it was, and I was still confused. I will
say this, I can rewaate. I once pitched an anime

(35:55):
series in a room with a bunch of directors and
they caught it. One piece of crap. One piece of crap.

Speaker 6 (36:02):
Man, you're so stupid.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
But that was good.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
I think the ramifications of buying a taken out of
the secondary market is a big deal. Like that's crazy. Honestly,
if you had fifty two thousand cards given out, that's
what it was. Yeah, if you bought a pack of
cards and got a one of fifty two thousand, I'd
be like, oh, great, there's fifty two thousand, correct.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
It seems crazy that that's that much of a demand
because like we rip cards at home, you know what
I'm saying, Like they're base we rip them, we rip them,
and it's like, oh, I got a card that's numbered
seven out of twenty five, and you're like, damn, that's
a good one. But this is one of fifty two thousand,
and it's still this crazy.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
What I also find interesting, and I'm seeing this on
a lot of the bids, are the fans who took
the picture at the game last night to show the
authenticity of yes, this is the card, so this is
one like the one that I'm looking at right now
is behind home plate, so it's like, oh, they did
get this at Dodger Stadium instead of just seeing it

(37:05):
on a kitchen counter. Sure help some.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
It also increases your aunts of it being a good
card degrade because less hands touching it, the better the corners,
the ridges, the surface, all that. And that's what these
investors want. Are like a ten card, it came in.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
A little in a sealed.

Speaker 6 (37:19):
Package pree plastics.

Speaker 4 (37:20):
Yes, so like in order free you would have to
rip it open to touch it, you know, like it's
still in a sealed package. And another thing about this
that I forgot until right now is when we have giveaways.
Like there's times where it's been a while, but early
on when I was up the Dodgers, if they were
like short handed at a gate.

Speaker 5 (37:35):
I would go help with handing the giveaways.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
The cards were being handed by by the highest of
high security at Dodger Stadium. They were the ones, and
I think they were all packing type of thing, you
know what I'm saying, Like those were the ones handing
you the.

Speaker 5 (37:48):
Card that hat.

Speaker 4 (37:50):
The hats were given by everyone else. But like that's
the level it went to.

Speaker 5 (37:54):
I literally was like, why are all these.

Speaker 4 (37:56):
Security guards that you normally see protecting the players are
on the field they're the ones that were at the
gates with their box handing the cards.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
Here's a question that I have. How many of those
cards is it evenly distributed at all the different entry points?

Speaker 4 (38:11):
So they are distributed. There's a lot of entry points.
The place that typically has the most giveaways would be
center field, but it's the most crowded, so you don't
necessarily have the best luck there. You actually should go
to another gate like that is the location that gets
the most bits, the most people go there. So sometimes
I'll tell, like I'll text a friend like, no, don't
go to center field, go over here, Like, dude, nobody

(38:33):
was in line over here. Obviously this was a different
type of giveaway. But they are spread out based on
how many people are technically in each location because there's
different levels. The reserve level at Dodger Stadium holds about
twenty thousand people the reserve level alone, and then the
rest are divided, so it depends on which entrance you
go through. Reserve will also have a lot, but the

(38:54):
most is center field because that's most people walk through
in through that location.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Because there are some ballparks don't have fifty two thousand
seats right for sure, fifty two thousand to giveaway, Yeah,
is quite a bit. I had no idea about it,
and I thought it was crazy, and then I saw
the craze. I saw it on the news last night.
I saw the lines. It just it did remind me
of Black Friday, and quite honestly, like I think, like

(39:19):
the Black Friday people, you know, were you had to
be of a certain fabric to be able to do that.

Speaker 4 (39:25):
I didn't want like once or twice camped out. Why,
I didn't want anything, But I just wanted to be
a part of it. I just want to have fun.

Speaker 5 (39:30):
You want to campound? Friends? Sure, it's playmingopoly all night.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
My sister and our relatives getting around looking at like
what we would call like the shoppers to see like
what was going to be on sale the next day,
you know, on Thanksgiving and doing that. But if this
is selling for one thousand dollars, to sit there for
how long? Ten hours?

Speaker 5 (39:49):
I say, I think average, let's say five hours? Like
if you I think five hours, hundred.

Speaker 4 (39:55):
Bucks an hour, Yeah, that's you're fine, You're right, it's
worth it.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
It's pretty good, makes it worth it. I wouldn't even
go to the game A lot of.

Speaker 5 (40:03):
People didn't, and that's what we were saying.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
Look at the seats, it wasn't even full because people
just got the card and left.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
I would they probably would have had another exit lane.

Speaker 5 (40:11):
Right, Oh, we did have one, right, like an extra like.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
Just because of people showing up to leave.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
People purchased tour tickets to get in early and then
just left or early entry, which is so it's like
you paid how much? And the thing was because they
didn't announce this game until like a month ago. It
was against the Padres, so it was not already like
the cheapest ticket. It wasn't like they were playing the
Rockies and you can get in for you know, twenty bucks.
It was already a higher ticket, but once that was announced,
it went even more. So like if you bought a

(40:38):
ticket last minute and then you paid to like get
in early, I don't know how much money you saved,
you know what I mean, by then selling it, or
how much money you made excuse me by then selling it.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Well, I commend the people who turned down three hundred
dollars of a spot.

Speaker 5 (40:53):
Just slashing it. Yeah you want three hundred bucks right now?

Speaker 3 (40:55):
And as it turns out, that was a really crappy offer.
It's just not as crappy as the guy who was
offering one hundred was talking.

Speaker 5 (41:02):
I don't think anyone took his offer.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
She's Mancy Bolago. So I'm Dan Byer, trained to push
past the pain. Not athletes, just people trafficked every day
right here in the United States, sometimes by someone they trusted.
During the World Cup, help us break the silence. Vis

Right now, Argentina and Cape Verde scoreless in the nineteenth
minute of their round of thirty two match being played.
I believe in South Florida. Is that correct, Chris Purfett.

(41:27):
They're being playing in Yes.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
They're playing in Miami, so we're keeping messy in the
confines of inter Miami forever.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
The entire stadium is wearing white and light blue. Yeah,
so then that works out for them.

Have you know it rich here on Fox Sports Radio.
She's Monty Blago. So I'm Dan Bayer wrapping up the
week for C and R, who were doing the Dan
Patrick Haatrick earlier today.

Speaker 5 (41:58):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (41:58):
In fact, I'm wrapping the CNA our shirt, you know,
because we're here for the guys.

Speaker 3 (42:03):
Good job, good work, great job, job, good job, great job.

Speaker 4 (42:07):

Speaker 3 (42:26):
We have a game that we've been playing here at
Fox Sports Radio, and I am owing to I am winless.
I have lost both times to Isaac Longcron and I
don't love my chances today as I'm up against mister
masters Chris Purfet at the news desk. So this is
what we're gonna do. Chris is gonna give us the
update and then I'm gonna try to avoid being skunked
for the week. All right, is that what we're gonna do?

(42:47):
All right, let's do it. Chris give us the latest
of what's going on, not only in soccer, but in
the whole world. Of sports.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
Who'll get you around the world of sports. Yes, we'll
start outside soccer and we'll get to the World Cup
in a second. But first the moves. In the NBA,
the Los Angeles Lakers are trading DeAndre into the Washington
Wizards for Jaydon Hardy in two second round picks. Those
picks coming in twenty thirty one and twenty thirty two,
just in case we need to remind how far out
the NBA loves trading their picks. Restricted free agent guard

(43:15):
Jordan Miller has agreed to a new three year, fifteen
million dollar extension with the Los Angeles Clippers, and the
Boston Celtics are picking up Nimus Quenta's option and signing
him to a fully guaranteed four year, fifty six million
dollar deal. At Wimbledon earlier, Novak Djokovic won his third
round matchup against Arthur Rinderneck in four sets. That is

(43:36):
his one hundred and fifth men's singles win at the
All England Club, time Roger Federer's record. Naomi Osaka defeated
Daria Katsatkina in straight sets and Cocoa Goff advances in
three sets. Trained to push past the pain, not athletes,
just people trafficked every day right here in the United States,

(43:58):
sometimes by someone they trust. Did during the World Cup.
Help us break the silence. Visit blue campaign dot gov
slash World Cup to learn more, paid for by the
Department of Homeland Security. And what a time for an update,
because who else but the Golden Man himself, Lionel Messi
has put Argentina on the board against Cabo Verdi in

(44:18):
the twenty eighth minute, So right now, Argentina up one
nil and we'll see if they can hold onto that.
Earlier in the day, Egypt defeated Australia four to two
on penalties. It's the first knockout round victory in the
Egypt's history at the tournament, and Egypt will play the
winner of this game. Finally, FIFA has decided to add

(44:41):
no more games to Falaren Balligan's suspension, simming from the
red card he got against Bosnia Herzegovina, so he'll be
out against Belgium, but will be available should the US
advance to the quarter finals. All right, Dan, let's do it.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
I'll say this and before we get to the game,
for the story that Cape Verde has been, what's gonna
be great. Is this is likely the end of their run,
but it will be up against Messi Like this would
have been like if they would have faced the US
or Belgium or Spain for that matter, Yeah, even like
one of those, it wouldn't have been the same as

(45:17):
facing Messi and Argentina. And so it's like, what a
perfect way if you're gonna if you're gonna.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
Lose, that's the way to imagine that our first run
and we lost to Messi.

Speaker 4 (45:26):
Right, everyone's gonna be like, oh, you got to go
up against Messi?

Speaker 3 (45:30):
What a what a great like exclamation point to put
what I'm already predicting their demise in this match?

Speaker 6 (45:36):
Sure, how dare you?

Speaker 5 (45:36):
How dare you?

Speaker 4 (45:37):
But there was clearly no offsides in that because Alex,
would you say, you have to give.

Speaker 5 (45:42):
Them the tinkle, the twinkle.

Speaker 4 (45:43):
The little spark, the spark in the ice across I
saw the spark in the eye.

Speaker 6 (45:47):
Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 1 (45:48):
And then he went and what's funny is if you
look at it too, the other player was but it
doesn't matter. He's not involved. It's all where Messi is.
And he waits, pops leans then so then is that is.

Speaker 4 (45:58):
That a tactic where I would be like, Dan, go
be off side, but you're not going to get the bull.

Speaker 6 (46:03):
Sure like that?

Speaker 5 (46:05):
That was incredible. That right there was really you could
see it perfectly.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
That's why the ring number one it's not been incredible
is my performance in these last two games. I handed
over to the host of Americanapolis two fifty, Jason Stewart.

Speaker 7 (46:18):
That's right, Dan, thank you very much. I do you know,
because because my man, we get new listeners all the time.
I want to tell everybody that we've been playing this
game called Americanapolis two fifty and you see the wording there,
Americanapolis two fifty like it's a race. But we're turning
two hundred and fifty years old tomorrow, and I thought
I wanted to give attention to that because I don't

(46:40):
think a lot of people are talking about this, and
you should see the comments on Twitter, and even when
people walk up to me on the streets, they're like,
you know what that game that you're bringing attention to
the two fiftieth birthday. It's taught me a lot about
our American heroes and I appreciate you doing that at
the expense of Dan Bayer. I think our listeners have
had an educational experience in this. The first two stages

(47:03):
were both won by Isaac Lomancron. The first one was
kind of a boat race, but the next day Isaac
Gormcrown got down to nothing and he scored four straight
answers to beat Dan Byer. Isaac has gone off into
the sunset with his yellow T shirt, has his yellow shirt.
We brought in a new opponent for Dan Byer today

(47:24):
and unfortunately for Dan, it's the most educated person on
the staff. And do you know why I know that?
Just ask him. Chris Purfet has the most degrees. He's
got at least one masters from wake Forest and USC and.

Speaker 6 (47:38):
From the USC.

Speaker 7 (47:39):
I dropped out of wake Forest. Okay, but he's kind
of a history buff. Not only is he the biggest
soccer snob on the staff, but he's he's also very
smart and he claims to be a history buff. So anyways, Dan,
you your opponent is very qualified and I think he's
anxious to beat you. Here's the game. Okay, you're gonna

(48:01):
get six American names. But here's the important part, and
it's important to think about as you listen as you play.
This is the game where American culture and sports collide.
All right, I'm gonna do it one more time for
Alex these new heroes. So it's where American sports and

(48:24):
culture collide. So what that means is, as Monsei delivers
these questions, these clues, you're not going to know if
they're athletes or coaches or just great Americans. That's the
very genius of the game, and that's what the listeners
like the most, at least they've told me on Twitter that.
So without further ado, I'm going to bring in our

(48:44):
host for today's game again. It's a who am I?
Style trivia game between Damis guesses right yes, and Chris
prefet as many guesses as you want. Chris, you can
guess as many as you want until you get the
right answer. Take it away, mad See Bolanos for the
Americanapolis two fifty on the Friday.

Speaker 4 (49:03):
Jason, I'll take it from here. All right, everybody, let's
get going. First up, I am an American. I was
born in the Midwest, Aye B.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
Lincoln.

Speaker 4 (49:18):
I suffered significant hearing loss beginning in my youth. My
life's passion was coming up with new ways for people
to do things.

Speaker 6 (49:30):
George Washington Carver Edison.

Speaker 5 (49:35):
Name Thomas Edison.

Speaker 3 (49:38):
All Right, damn, look at you the one the one
advantages I've I have to pay attention to the wording now,
and that Chris hasn't been experienced?

Speaker 5 (49:47):
Sure right, right, right, right? All right?

Speaker 2 (49:49):
Well here here, here's here's the here's the balancing act too.
Is like, you can call me smart as you want,
but I'm also incredibly slow. I am a slow on
the uptake all the time. So this is this I
might just be a jobber here, I do I have to.

Speaker 6 (50:02):
Give Dan credit after four clues? He got it right.

Speaker 7 (50:06):
There were some really good ones in here that it's
a waste of my work because I put a lot
of hard work into this. Did you know that the
conflict with his rival was known as the.

Speaker 6 (50:15):
War of Currents? And you know that was Chris? That
would have been Nicola Tesla nice.

Speaker 3 (50:22):
I would not have gotten that.

Speaker 5 (50:25):
That was impressive. That was good.

Speaker 6 (50:27):
I wish I had watched the Prestige. That's good. I
know that.

Speaker 5 (50:31):
I wish I could give you a point for that.
But I can't. Dan up one nil all right?

Speaker 3 (50:35):
And I hate Tesla's I can't.

Speaker 6 (50:37):
They're awful. I hate driving behind them in here you are.

Speaker 5 (50:40):
The worst drivers, Okay. I am an American. I was
born in southern California.

Speaker 4 (50:48):
I received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the
highest civilian honors the United States. I am a known
Dodgers fan. I was the subject of an Elton John.

Speaker 6 (51:04):
Song, Marilyn Monroe.

Speaker 4 (51:09):
My contest against someone of the opposite sex became a medium.

Speaker 5 (51:14):
Dan Gay Day, yank, well done.

Speaker 6 (51:19):
Dad jumped all over me on that one.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
Sorry, that was what was what was the what was
the song?

Speaker 7 (51:26):
The Elton John song Philadelphia Freeo?

Speaker 6 (51:30):
Yeah, okay, do you know what? Right now?

Speaker 7 (51:34):
The listeners are thinking, wait a minute, Dan, Buyer's up
two to nothing. This is going to be a skunk.
This is really easy. But they don't know that twenty
four hours ago he was up to nothing. On as
a glowing crown.

Speaker 6 (51:45):
Here we go.

Speaker 5 (51:45):
That's right, all right, moving on here you.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
Can Belgium me Chris Purfett.

Speaker 5 (51:50):
All right ready. I am an American. I was born
in Hawaii.

Speaker 4 (51:58):
My father was from ken and my mother was from.

Speaker 5 (52:05):
We're gonna have to go to video reap.

Speaker 6 (52:09):
Are VR.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
Do we have the audio? Jason?

Speaker 7 (52:12):
Do you have I'll get the audio, but I kind
of like the fact that there is a half point each.
That means that we can't tie to right, that would
be half point each, so two and a half to
one half until we can get to the var What.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
Do you mean we can't tie if we both have
a half point then we're both on.

Speaker 7 (52:30):
No, you can't tie all together because there's got to
be a winner, you know. So I think we live
with this.

Speaker 6 (52:36):
Let's go, got it?

Speaker 5 (52:38):
So we're giving a half a halfs.

Speaker 6 (52:39):
Yeah, it was a nice time, all right, it was.

Speaker 5 (52:41):
It was. It was very very on the money. Okay.

Speaker 7 (52:44):
Oh by the way, by the way, the one that
I was most proud of because I put a lot
of work into this and I'd hate to wait waste
work my left handed shoe, I'm a left handed shooter
in basketball.

Speaker 6 (52:54):
Like that would have totally thrown you in the listener's
way off.

Speaker 5 (52:57):
It would have it changes direction a little.

Speaker 6 (52:58):
Bit too bad.

Speaker 3 (53:00):
Oh well, all we do have the audio while Shakira
is at the world coming, what do we have.

Speaker 5 (53:07):
My father was from Kenya and my mother was.

Speaker 9 (53:10):

heead and.

Obama at the same time. But it was like you said,
but like he's starting with Barakia, correct.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
Like he could have been meaning Michelle, you know, so
like so mine is more.

Speaker 6 (53:32):
That's what Ken Jenions would have been, like, could you
be more specific?

Speaker 4 (53:35):
You get three quarters of the point, you get a
fourth one? Okay, all right, next one. I am an American.

Speaker 6 (53:42):
I grew up in Detroit, eminem.

the best of his class for twelve years, became the
first black athlete that was nationally embraced on both sides
of the racial lines.

Speaker 3 (54:14):
You know.

career and loss. Joe Lewis on it. All right, good job, Chris.
