Messi In The Flesh!

Messi was in Nashville and Lunchbox got to see him in person. Was Messi as amazing as advertised? Was it worth every penny you paid to get in? The crowd was going bonkers over an hour before kickoff and the game lived up to the hype. Ray gives his account of watching his first MLS game of his life and talks about the generational change he's experienced with soccer. Plus we have to draw more names for The Sore Losers Fantasy Football league.

a brunch man. Let me tell you. I'm ready to go, man,
I'm ready to rock and roll. I'm fired up. I'm
coming out of this weekend. I had a good weekend.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I'll tell you at first, before you even get to it,
that's bullshit. The way they all went down is complete bs.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I disagree.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
That's horse pucky.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
I don't even know what you're talking about, So we'll
just we'll just get to it.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Well, be right out of a cannon when you do
start talking about it.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
All right, Hey, your posts were funny for the sore losers.
I laughed about the soccer game or about soccer game.
When you said messy I might be taller than him,
I laughed out loud didn't know the guy was that short,
tiny dude. Wow, short guy.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
That was shocking. So Giannis on the field and then
I saw Messi right after that. Yeah all right, Arnold,
Oh he's got Monday off. Yeah, yeah, he took it off.
We give these guys around here three day weekends, especially
Arnold only making two hundred dollars. I'm gonna hit this.
It all started win a dumbass met another dumb ass,
and they became the dumb Ass Trio, the End Duo,

(01:39):
the End Duo. We need to update that. I'm gonna
do that. Ah the what two three sore losers? What up?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Everybody? I am lunchbox. I know the most about sports,
giving the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty
much a sports genius.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Y'all it says. And I'm from the North. I'm in
Alpha male. I live on the West Side in Nashville
with Baser. White Picket Fence Fantasy Football Division was named
after it, the Suburban White Picket Fence Division. And we
have two point five kids in a freezer somewhere and
they'll die of a heart attack in my seventies, most likely.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Coach over to you do you have any terergy today
you Okay, now.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Dude, I'm telling you, it's just a weird morning. Sometimes
we never know the time we're gonna get released. Okay,
I'll tell you this. At the lumber mill, every damn day,
we're out of there at three thirty.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Okay, well, i'll tell you what. It's Sam's Club. You
didn't know what time you were getting out of there,
he says. You work three to close. Okay, here's the problem.
When you're closing, you don't know if you're gonna take
forever an hour, twenty minutes. You don't know what kind
of wreck the store is gonna be. So sometimes you're
there during Christmas hours, even though you picked up all
the carts, they make you come in and help do

(02:56):
returns full close because it is absolute chaos. Sometimes at
Christmas time.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
How do you fold the brawl?

Speaker 1 (03:02):
You stay for two and a half hours after Sam's closes,
cleaning everything up.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
That's a lot, but it's paid.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
It is paid. But that's what I'm saying, is so
not knowing your hours. I'm kind of used to that.
As a delivery driver at Jason's Deli. I didn't know
my hours. You want to know why, because hey, one
day there's one hundred deliveries. Next day there could be
ten deliveries. You're done real quick, all right, I guess
we're gonna cut you. We don't need any more, buddy, anymore.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Well, I'm not complaining. I'm explaining. It's completely different. I know.
I'm just explaining too, lumber Mill. I'm telling the people
in their trucks and all that, in their tugboats, lumber Mill,
you can just be brain dead. Three thirty that's when
you leave here. I mean, dude, it could be ten,
It could be ten thirty. Sometimes it's noon. Sometimes it's two.
If we have a listener lunch, it's three. It just

(03:49):
takes sometimes in the brain. You gotta be like, all right,
is there something I'm supposed to be doing, because it
feels like right now I'm naked.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Hey, hell, it mentally messes you up, right, But I'm
gonna tell what what a weekend, dude, Messy Mania took
over Nashville, and it was absolutely fantastic. It was phenomenal.
The environment, the intensity, the atmosphere, everything you could want

(04:16):
in a high profile game was exactly what we got.
High profile criminal, no, not high profile criminal but guys,
I splurged. I bought tickets. I went on Ticketmaster and
I bought tickets. I said, I am not missing messy
in town.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
So splurge. It's disgusting.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well it's what I did. I had to say, you
know what it is messy. It is for a championship trophy.
It is in our city. I need to be there.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
I need to secure the bag.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
And so I bought the tickets and I said, let's go.
We had some friends going, they had already got tickets.
I needed my tickets. I told the wife. I was like,
we can do this. Let's splurge. Let's get the tickets.
We didn't take the kids. No way were we taking
the kids. It's gonna be way too expensive to take
the kids. And we heard you've splur Who went me?
My wife, Dana and Brian.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Okay, I did their names. You can just say John
and Jane Doe.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Well basically is what I did.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
I made it up ray on the fly John and Dana.
Dana is a porn star.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
So we are like, all right, let's do this like
we're going. So we go eat beforehand, have some drinks,
like we are ready to go. We park about three
quarters of a mile from the stadium, and we walk
and I mean we are walking an hour and fifteen
minutes before kickoff and there are already droves of people.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Okay, and ticket whack Master, what time did you buy
the tickets at, because that'll tell me how much you paid.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
We bought them Saturday morning around eight am.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Then that was the cheapest. Yes, well, you told me
though in text messages it'll be cheaper around game time.
And I go, I didn't know you're a back alley
ticket scalper.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yes, I said that right and right during the national anthem,
tickets dropped to three hundred dollars. So if you were
standing right out the stadium and you waited till they
were singing the national anthem on the Ticketmaster app, three
hundred bucks got you in the lower bowl section one
oh five. I don't know, I looked, I was looking
at it.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
I was on game time and Ticketmaster the entire day
that and you porn ray.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
So we go eat, we go drink, and we start
walking to the stadium and there are people everywhere. It's
crowded people. You can twenty thousand to be exact, thirty
thousand to be exactly was Yeah, thirty thousand people. I
don't know if there was thirty thousand there, but there
was thirty. It was a sold out thing.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Don't worry. We heard if you watched the broadcast on
TV twenty thousand, we heard it ten times.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Guys, we get it. Thirty thousand, thirty. It holds thirty thousand.
And there was quite a few messy jerseys everybody, and
they're stupid messy jerseys. Messy, messy, messy. I don't want
you there if you're cheering for Messy. I want you
there cheering for NSC. We need this place to be loud.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Let's go look car.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
And I was worried it wasn't going to be loud.
I was worried there was gonna be so many messy fans.
But was Boy was I wrong?

Speaker 2 (06:58):
See, I don't know why you'd be worried about that.
I watched the YouTube video of the game before our
crowds were going. Asked Gorilla why right?

Speaker 1 (07:06):
But a lot of these people getting on him, buying,
spending the expensive tickets are there for MESSI. They want
to see MESSI.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
They're in the suites. Those are the messy one.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
They're messy fans.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Beckham, he was there.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Beckham was there.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
My doctor got a picture with him. Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute. Damn,
they have a suite doctor Hunger. He was in with Beckham. Yea,
I must must be nice, I mean, but whatever.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Hey, So we bought tickets in the supporters section. So
we're in the standing room. There's no seats. You stand
up the entire time.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
I brought a folding chair ray one of the ones
you take camping.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
No, And I was like I would. I don't want
to have my season tickets there because the kids would
hate it. But that game, that atmosphere was the place
to be. That is where I wanted to be because
I was worried other parts of the stadium wouldn't be
as loud, wouldn't be standing up. But by the looks
of it, from what I was seeing, most of the
stadium stood up the entire game, at least the lower bowl.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Well, I know how much you paid now, so no
lower bowls sad at times?

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Did they?

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yes? They did?

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Okay, I like game, not the supporter section. And we
get there about forty five minutes before kickoff.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Nice, forty five minutes the same as halftime. I see
what you did there?

Speaker 1 (08:13):
No, I didn't even think about that. Okay, And we
get to we get to the sport section, find four
four standing room spots together. Boom uh. But to Dick,
Dana and John and we are there and we are
We're in it, and Giannis is out on the field
kicking soccer balls.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
He made a great one.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Oh dude. He had a yacht, he had a messy kick,
he had muck tar, he had some amazing but he
also looked like an idiot. Dude.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's like, I didn't know he was a minority owner.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yes, when were they gonna tell us that he's announced
it before? But he it's like eighty five degrees and
he's in a full sweatsuit.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, he was on. He went private. You know, you're
not feeling a lot of the outside air.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
I understand he flew private, But yo, Jannis, you're a
my minority owner. You think you'd slap on a national
sc jersey when you're out there kicking soccer balls.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yeah, that's him saying it's an investment. Do you wear
a shirt that says Enron No? Exactly? Bad example.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, because I'm not a part owner of Enron. I
was never associated with Ron.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
But you're a stock owner, do you wear shirts with
the stock on it? I'll hang up and listen on
that one.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
So anyway, he's out there in full sweats, kicking balls,
sweating his ass off, and I assume that his brother
was with him. And Giannis is a massive dude, like
seeing him on TV's fine. Dude is so tall, yeah,
so freaking tall. And I thought, oh, he's gonna come
over and high five some fans do something pictures. No,
didn't even come near the stands.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, why if you don't have to?

Speaker 1 (09:39):
This way from afar okay?

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Cool? Cool.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Then he talked to his brother about doing his little
jump celebration boom, and then.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
They did that forever. Oh so you guys were there early,
early because they were showing those highlights on Sports Center
on the app, and that was the crowd was almost
not there yet.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
No, no, no, the crowd was there. They were, Oh well
in the supporter section. It was pat okay. And so
he's doing that kicking balls, kicking balls, and they go
out and then here come the teams to warm up
and he here comes messy, here comes everybody, and it
is just I mean people. Every time he kicks the
ball and warm up the stadium, whoa like you'd miss them?

(10:17):
I mean it was great, boo. It was so fun.
Everybody was into it.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
From warm ups getting goosebumps.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Not goosebumps, I don't. I didn't get goose pumps.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Jordan's game five had goosebump.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
No, never had goose pumps. And so they come out
and they play, and let me tell you, Nashville I
felt like was the better team. They played better.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
They did, and Miami ain't as good as I thought
they were. After watching that game, they it's it's really
kind of the Messy Show. It is the Messy Show.
And here's the crazy shouldn't even have scored the goal
that he had. He went through seven people not to
jump ahead, Ray, go back to No one.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
No no. But it was back and forth. It was fine,
but MESSI really had no effect on the game. They
controlled Messy very well. Whatever their game plan was, whatever
the strategy was.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Well, don't worry. The announcers loved talking about it. They
were just whacking them. Man. I tried to say something
not bad there, dude. They were on their knees talking
about each to.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
All the defense.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Oh my gosh, this coach oh three four three four
seven eight nine defense. Haw, this is beautifully played. Shut
the hell up. All you do is line up, square up,
nut up, play some soccer bitch like they're acting like
it's the most genius. That looked like zone. I mean
you guys, ever watched the basketball game. Oh my gosh,

(11:32):
this coach Oh, I couldn't have even dribbled up a
better Blue brit Dude. These announcers are on Apple Plus.
I was about to go punch him in the face.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
But were you But when you saw when you saw MESSI, yeah,
what did you think?

Speaker 2 (11:47):
I mean, he there's a lot of walking, man. I
watched the Women's Cup because I watched the Women's Cup
the next day.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Oh, you watch Spade in England. They're constantly running.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I will say, props the MLS and MESSI that's the
first time I've watched any minute of an MLS game.
I watched everyone all ninety or one hundred, whatever the
case was. Oh, and it was penalty. But I'm telling you, dude,
I didn't know there was that much walking. There's a
MESSI walks until he doesn't have to, and then he
grabs the ball and he scores a goal.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
A lot of downtime, though, I will say we. I
don't know if we did it or if he was
just they. I felt like Messi was not involved in
the game very much. I don't know if that was
because of the way Nashville played defense or whatever. Their
their their strategy, their plan. It worked because Messi was
not on the ball like I'd seen the games past.
But what little he did touch the ball, holy as.

(12:37):
Like the first half we were talking, we were like, damn,
Messi hadn't been involved. Messi hadn't been involved. He got
that ball. He had the ball, I would say for
ten seconds total, Like I felt like the first half
and it.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Was whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop. What goal? Holy hell?

Speaker 1 (12:53):
The shot was amazing.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
He scored. He scored in the first half.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, he was like the twenty fourth minute or something.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Around the twentieth minute, I was like, I gotta be real.
I'm gonna be real on this podcast. I was bored
as hell. I was like, damn, I thought this is
gonna be more entertaining. At the twentieth minute, I went
in the other room and started doing some laundry okay,
and I had the TV up loud enough so I
could hear a roar or whatever. There was, dude, No
less than two minutes later, when the water's running, I'm

(13:20):
putting detergent in. I hear booze and ah, I'm like,
what the hell? I go to the TV. Messy scored.
I freaking missed Messy's score. I hit the rewind, bro,
what are the chances? I sat through twenty minutes of
boring crap, and then the five minutes I was away,
Messy scored. I've watched it like thirty times after that.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
It was interesting because I mean the shot. I mean
because I'm at the opposite end. But I watched it
and you saw it just bend and it was like damn.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
I mean, hey, if I was gonna get tickets, I
was scalping them the entire time. I was gonna get
three hundred and fifty dollars tickets. I was the lowest.
It went right where he scored. The goal would have
been up in the second deck. But but that's okay
right there.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
And I got a text him from the before the game,
from random kid Cody, and he was like, dude.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Hey, man, do you ever want to go see his
soccer game? Hit me up?

Speaker 1 (14:07):
He said, are you cheering for Messi to score? Or
do you want to shut him out? And I said
shut him out. I was like, I want Nashville I
see to win and I don't want Messi to I
don't want him to score. I want us to win.
And then after he scored, and I was like, everybody's ah.
And I looked at the people I'm with and I'm like,
that was beautiful.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Dude. He knucklebucked it aboutout five feet. He puts some
English on that, dude.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
I mean, he made it look so easy.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
If you were in this the fifth row, you thought
you're about to get hit by a soccer for real.
And he bentet like Beckham in front of Backham into
the net.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
If you are sitting outside that goalpost, you're like, oh
my god, it's gonna oh damn, that hit the upper night.
Oh okay, all right, well cool, we're down one nothing.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
He hit it past the water polo player. Who's that guy?
Our goaliea Panico, the only guy that wears a helmet
in soccer.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Well that's because probably he I bet you no, I
would bet he got concussed. He got concussed by the
poll at somebody. I'm sorry, and he's our backup goalie.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Uh so you go to the half now one nothing,
and I mean the air kind of went a little
bit out of the stadium. When Messi scored, it was
just like oh, but it was still raucous and we
still felt good, still felt good going into the half,
good ending.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
I mean, I think Nashville almost should have scored a
couple of times, right, oh bakeaways with Mooktar.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
We should have scored a few I felt like we
had the better opportunities.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
And for the love of God, would somebody on this
podcast or told me that Mouktar is the best player
in MLS and we have him.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
He's the MVP. The dude's phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
I've rarely heard you say his name. He's awesome.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
He's really good.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
I would go watch a game because of him.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, he's really good. The only thing I don't like
about him is whenever he gets any contact, he falls
a lot. He doesn't really fight for the ball. That
bugs the hell out of me and fight hard. But
that's okay. But then we come out in the second
half and my wife is just into it. She's like, yeah,
she is kind of drunk and she's like, listen, guys,
I have not been this into a game since Vince

(16:06):
Young was at Texas.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
I what random events did you?

Speaker 1 (16:11):
She was in college when at UT when Vince Young
was at Texas, and she was like she was telling
you know the couple we were with, and she was
just like, guys, I am so this is so intense
and she was like, it is awesome. The being in
the fan section was great, and she's just going nuts
and she's like, but I just feel it. We're gonna score.
We're gonna score. And then the fans section with a
supporter section. When you score, everybody throws their drinks in

(16:33):
the air. That dude and I looked at her. I said,
we are not wasting the drinks. Like, if we score,
we are not wasting our drinks.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Trust me, I'm keeping my mark.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
And we score, and boom, I get nailed by a beer.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Dude, what if you were wearing good stuff? The cost,
it doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
And here's the funny part in pregame, Like there's no
you're not allowed to have the other teams jersey sitting
in the supporter section and someone's I guess, had a
shirt on and then took it off and had a
messy jersey under it, and everybody like turned to this
one person and started chanting, get the fuck out, Get
the fuck out, Get the fuck out, get the I mean,

(17:17):
the whole section was chanting it at this one dude, This.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
One poor soul sixteen year old kid.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
He thought he was gonna get away with wearing a
shirt and then taking it off and having messy underneath,
and everybody, I mean it was just like on top
of him. Get the eff out, get the eff out,
Get the app out. And it went on until he
walked out of that app Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
He got the f out and he got the f out.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
It was awesome. So we score it, and everybody's going
but Nana's, Butanana's. I'm trying to think where when was
that going? At like the seventy third minute.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Maybe it was the it wasn't it. It was a
random it was.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
It was a corner kick. Well, it was a corner kick.
I couldn't see exactly it was down. There's a lot
of bodies.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
And uh I was in the other room for that.
I miss out. Oh my god, bro, I have the
worst timing with soccer goals. I'm telling you right now.
I was. I was a good boy for another twenty
minutes into the second half.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
And please don't say you were a good boy. It
sound like a little friend like you, I'm gonna spank you.
And then I just was a room how do you
go in the other room?

Speaker 2 (18:22):
But I rewound it, watched it on a hundred times,
but I'm just saying it socks soccer. The timing of
the goal.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
No, it was awesome, and so then it is like,
oh boy, edge of your seat drama, and it's back.
I mean, Nashville had so many chances, so many chances,
and I'm like, please please bury one because.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
They drilled one in the goalie goal of after.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yes, I mean the goalie made some great saves. It
was it was an entertaining game. And then with like
ted seconds left, ten seconds left.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
I don't know what the happened. I still don't know
if that guy was off sides, but the announcers at
first thought he was off side, like oh, it was
a crazy paw, so oh he's on sides. And so
the guy was miraculously on sides and broke away.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
He broke away, Shackmore gets turned around, he falls down,
and so it's one on one with the keeper and
then he flicks it over the keypper and he's going,
I'm like no no, And this is right where I'm sitting,
right behind that goal, and I'm going, no no, and
he slides and Shackmore's coming again. He falls his ass

(19:26):
down again and I'm like, no, no, and the guy
slides hits it off outside of the posts, out of bounds.
Thank god, thank god, thank god.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Dude, I'm from the TV angle. Honestly, it never looked
like it was good because he did the flip over, which.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
When he flipped it over, I thought it was over.
I thought, oh my god, that's going in.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
The flipover really did in real in real time, looked
like a flipover. And then you just seem like he
pushed it too far out and he never could catch
up to it. The announcer said, he really should have
just stayed standing, bring it into himself. Had time.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Oh, he could have just felt like he rushed it
a little bit. Yes, he probably thought, you know, someone's
coming going.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
I mean, this team's always been bad. Now messy. I
mean that's that shows what that team was before mess.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
But think how cool it is to go from being
terrible to playing with the best player to ever play soccer.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
And they got more pieces they got they yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
But anyway, so then we go to p K's.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Dude, oh beautiful, we didn't have to sit through overtime.
We went immediately to p K's. Well, here's awesome.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
When when when it's like regular time ends, right, everybody
is sprinting for the pisser at the soccer game. Everybody
has a piece. So you just see people hauling ass
who because I don't want to miss Peak's and I mean,
everybody's flying into the bathroom and people are going, no
need to wash hands, boys, no need to wash hands.
We gotta get back, we gotta get back. It's Peak's

(20:50):
it's Peak.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
We'll say. The audience shots they did do interesting crowd
of those games. Man, I don't know. So one guy
who was dressed up like Jesus.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Yeah, he does that every game. I don't understand it.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
A couple of I mean, i'd say majority of the
fans look like they're in their parents' basement or they're
like I T students like you have glasses on. They're like,
look like they're reading a book while they're at the game.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
I will say that the guy that dresses like Jesus,
he probably did that one game, thought it was funny.
He got interviewed, don't worry, no, no, no, and then now
everybody loves it, so he has to do it every game.
He probably hates it by now.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Dude. They interviewed him, they're like, you guys were chanting
we want messy. Did you really want messy? And he's like,
we wanted the idea of playing in the big game.
We didn't necessarily want mess That's.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
What I said. And then in the game they're chanting
Massy sucks, Massy sucks, and I look at the people
I'm with, I'm like, but he's really actually kind of good.
He's actually kind of good.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
And uh, do you the fans for Nashville, there was
about five guys pregame shirts were off, Like, that doesn't
get you booted out. You can just take your shirt off.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
You can take your shirt off to supporter section, supporter section,
you can do whatever you want.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Yeah. Then I got to go to a Zager game.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
The supporter section it's a bunch of drunks like it's
just crazy. It's so fun, and there's flags flying. It
was awesome.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
See one person just had a six to one five flag.
I'm like, you're celebrating the area. No.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
No, there's different supporter groups, like there's what's.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Another one gonna be Wes Nashville over by the target
where sis and lives. Like what the fuck? The flags
were bizarre? I mean, I want to see a US flag?

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Can I be honest? If I sat where the flags were,
I'd be pissed. Yeah, you can't see because they're waving
the flags the whole game. I might get that flag
out of my face. Go fly your flag somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Man, let the freak flag fly? Where do I fly
that one?

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Right? Well, I'm gonna talk you about the pks right
after this. The pks were something I have never seen
in my life.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
They were gas man.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
No, they were phenomenal. They were awesome. They were phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Like MESSI said, set the tone with the penalty kicks. Dude,
he just does the slow walk, slow walk, slow walk.
Let's see you bite you go left, I'll dribble an
old righty. I mean, why does it? Everybody? Do? I
know it's a timing thing and it's a strength of
leg and it's almost like where his eyes were looking
and he just does it last second. Why doesn't every
player just kind of walk up to the ball because

(23:09):
you just have to keep forward momentum.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Yes, there's no reason to run. I think a lot
of it. Some of them make up their minds before
they go up there where they're going, because I don't know.
I would love to ask someone.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Oh, I'll tell you, yeah, they don't do it before
because some of the guys hit in the very middle.
There's no way in your head that's where you decided.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
I do believe that may have been a strategy that
Miami had because a lot of the Miami players were
doing the hesitation, slow walk up and they wait for
our goalie to dive, and they would kick it right
up the middle numerous ones. So they must have done
film study on he dives. He never stays right in
the middle. I don't know. Fascinating to know, because I
believe some of them make their mind up before they

(23:50):
go up there. I'm kicking it upper corner, left side,
but dude, and they could go.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
For hips like you could almost have the golf yips
and you just like don't kick the ball, Like I
could see does who's one of brother Does he have
the yips? Who's one of our friends that have the year?

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Probably we all get it? Brother?

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah, brother, I dude, I could see him almost just
like pitdling the ball and almost missing it because you
get the yip.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Well it's like Rappino in the World Cup, she kicked
it over.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yeah, but that's just a high. I could almost see
myself like getting so much anxiety. You just literally just
don't kick.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
The ball, maybe.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Like you don't know which way you're gonna go.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
That's why I think you have to make your mind
up before you.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Got That's why I kind of agree with you, because
if it's a last second thing and they dive the
way you're about to kick it, you have to I
don't know you almost I don't know.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
I So anyway, we Messy makes it boom, Mouktar makes
it boom. Le Ale misses, and then it comes down
to their fifth kicker. We have to block it or
he has to miss or the game is over and
our goalie blocks it, and I mean beers go flying,
everybody's going crazy, and then we still have to make

(24:54):
it to force the you know, extra pks, and then
it becomes sudden death and we make it and I
and then it's sudden death from there on out. If
they make it, we have to make it. I have
never in my life seen it get all the way
to elevens. So were the eleven And it's only the
players on the field that can kick penalty kicks.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
So it was goalie on goalie. It would have gone
to MESSI again, it would.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Have gone back to MESSI would have gone back. But
I'd never seen goalie on goalie where they're both required
to take a penalty kick.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
It was awesome. That's when the water polo player came out.
He had his head on, he had all the knee
pads and crap the guy for Nashville.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yeah, Panico.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
It looked ridiculous, dude, and he's gonna be the most
pivotal player. He had it because he had to block
it and then he had to kick it.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Himself, and their goalie stepped up and buried I mean
buried it, dude.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
They're goalie buried at the top of the net. You literally,
if you jumped as high as you could, couldn't touch
to where he touched it.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
That's that's what I mean, how much precision and how
awesome those penalties were taking. It wasn't like they were
barely making them. They were baring them upper ninety side
net like almost impossible to stop. So it's not like
they were getting lucky on these penalties. They were bare
each team. It was so fascinating. So their goalie buries
it and then our goalie, Panico steps up, he goes

(26:08):
right side, not a very good penalty kick. God drums
over blocks it. Miami wins, and I mean that.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Was a devastation. Did you see what the Miami goalie did.
He faked with the hand into this way so maybe
his eyes would think he was gonna dive that way,
and then dove the opposite way.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Oh I didn't catch that real time.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
He did a little hand action.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
And Miami wins, and it was it was it was
sad to lose.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
We should have won Man of the Match.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
But it was a phenomenal game. It was so entertaining,
so worth the money. Yes, the Nashville didn't win, but
that kind of game worth it, absolutely worth it, dude.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
The crowd is going nuts.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yes, and the sadness is walking out though. It was
just everybody was sad. If we would have won, the
hysteria of everybody walking out would have been high five
and would have been going crazy. Instead, it was just
like crap.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yeah, man, it was too much money. Man, I just
couldn't go. Its way too much. Baser said, if it
got down to two hundred and fifty, I could have gone.
And it never the threshold of three fifty never got broken.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Yeah, it was just it was like wow, man, it was.
But now my question is.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Then we went to our parking lot. Did you guys walk?

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah, we had to walk. That's a bull grap And
my question is if you would you have rather lost,
Like if you're a fan, because you're not really a fan.
On that last second where that guy almost knocked it in,
you know what I mean? Where that the last play
or the penalty kicks.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
No, the penalty kicks were bad ass. It added more
to the game, added so much more. Drop penalty kicks
are awesome. That's the best way to end to any
sporting event. I mean, not in football on him, but
if imagine that's how it's decided, It's just such a random, sudden,
immediate thing. It's way better than that guy drilling a
random ass kick at the very end of the game.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah, it was. It was so fun. And then I
stayed to watch the trophy presentation. All that and Messi.
Messi's classy dude.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Last act ray when he handed the trophy over.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
To Yedlin because Jedland was the captain. Before Messi got there.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Somebody told him in his ear, Hey, this Nilin guy. No,
he's just like kind of a bullshit player. No he's not.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
He Yedlin plays Team USA. Dude, he's not bullshit. He
is he used to. Yeah, he used to be one
of our stars.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Well this isn't an early nineties coach, not the early nineties.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
I'm talking a couple of years ago.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Messi knew that he needed to hand over the trophy
to that guy.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
I thought it was such a class act. Messi was awesome.
Then here comes David Beckham down on the field, all
the families, here comes Messi's wife, Messi's kids, They're all
down there on the field celebrating. But I did not
understand was when they scored their first goal. When when intermami,
when Messi scored, they shot the fireworks. Uh yo, bro,

(28:48):
this is our home stadium. What the are you shooting
fireworks for?

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Interesting? But did they play it as a championship? No?

Speaker 1 (28:54):
No, when they scored their first goal, right, oh, as
a neutral super Bowl? They play it as a neutral. Well,
it's really truly a neutral. This was actually at our
home stadium. National plays right here. Whose other home stadium.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
We got to see. When I heard the fireworks, I
was like, oh, it just must be a neutral state.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
It might they may consider that. But when it went
off on the in the game, we all went like,
what was the guy?

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Was the guy doing laundry in the other room and
he just heard a goal and he assumed it was whatever.
And as we walked back to the car, I like
to do stupid stuff, so I vandalized it. No, like
when I'm in like before the game, I'm walking, I'm
in the bathroom and I was pissing. I was like, oh, man,
I can't believe mess. He pulled his hand. He during
the warm up, just yelling and out loud just for

(29:37):
people to hear. Right, And I'm walking and you know,
everybody's just walking and I just like, out loud to nobody,
I want to come out. I go man, I've never
heard of that guy messying a number ten. I've never
heard of him, but he looked pretty good for enter Miami.
And this dude, big dude, Big dude goes you've never

(29:59):
heard of I see. I mean, come on, bro, what
the is wrong with you? Do you even watch soccer?
He was like geez, and they kept on walking. He
got so mad at me because I threw out this
dumb comment saying, man, I don't know, I've never heard
that messy guy, but number ten from Miami he looked

(30:21):
pretty good, dude.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
The one the warm up comment is really good. It
gets people all the time, all the time. I always
name whatever game you're at star star players say, I
can't believe they got injured in warm ups because most
people haven't been able to check their phone in the
last fifteen minutes, have no idea that happened. You can
f with people the whole time. Be careful.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
You don't want to be out numbered, dude. When I'm
at concerts. You've done that before. I walked through all
the time and I'm like, damn, I can't believe Dustin
Lynch got the flu, or Damn, I can't believe Chris
Dableton has Laryn Jynson can't sing to night and people
will turn their head like what what.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
But you say it as just loud enough so they
can hear. But you actually you're talking to your right.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
You just add like you're in a conversation walking with someone,
and then they It's sort of like in Vegas. We
were walking out of a restaurant one time.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Man, I can't believe they ran out of the black
black black jack they were.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
There was a line because it was breakfast. It was
brunch time. Lining out the door. You know what, any
people waiting to get in.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
You could do it in food.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Dude, Dude, I'm walking out and I'm like, gosh, I
can't believe they ran out of eggs. And these two
ladies I'll never really go what And I was like,
I got you.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
That's I was gonna say. You then tell them that
they were the Dustin Lynch Chris Stables.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Oh, I just keep going because because everybody no one
says that. They just kind of look around like what what.
But these ladies actually visibly and audibly reacted their heads
turned and they go, what.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
I got you?

Speaker 1 (31:53):
And my wife and Ryan and Garrett and missy. They
were all like, damn, dude, you're so mean. But it
was so freaking funny.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
I want to act like I'm I wouldn't get dude.
I think if you told me, I'd be half hung over.
Like they ran out of eggs.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Fuck dude, Like how did they run out of eggs?

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Like you know? I mean, like, come on, and that
just jojo. I mean, you can get any person. People
don't know.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
What the hell the like, they're they're just in a
mind frame. They're in their conversation. They hear something and
they don't have time to think like is he being serious?
It's just the natural reaction, like what But dude at
number ten for the other team MESSI I never heard
of him, but he looked pretty good.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Bro, bro, are you serious? Yeah? Come on, man, we
should have got him.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Do you even do you even watch soccer? I mean,
dude was so pissed and then he just went storming off.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Was our guy?

Speaker 1 (32:46):
I think he was our guy? Yeah, I think it
was our team. But yes, and that was the end
of the messy. It was so worth it, bullshit.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
I got no invite. I was texting you ticket prices,
no responses. I was considerate going.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
But then I was like, you just said you didn't
consider really going.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
No, logistically, I'm not gonna drive to the game by myself, trying. Hi,
there parking for one what eighty dollars? Awesome? Let me
pull that out of my ass.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
We pay twenty bucks for parking. Well, oh cool, I'd
love to walk in the dark.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Get ready to be sodomized.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
I mean, it's a bad Are you a twelve year
old little boy? You remember that part of town? No,
I've never been telling me about it. There's a lot
of buggery because I guess what, I go there all
the time. Well, I'm just telling you me walking by myself,
that's the last thing I want to do. Guess what,
There's thirty thousand people you're gonna be walking with.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
To be grabbed from behind.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
There's thirty thousand people. I mean, got you. Guys, shouldn't
hold on, hold on. We just gotta look into Ray
scaredy cat. Ray is scared to walk to his car
after a game by himself. Dude, I'm being funny. My
wife would not she would not let me go by.
But here's the funny part that you say that. So
the couple we went with They park at the same
spot every time, and they're like, oh, one time, we

(33:58):
went to Santa's Pub afterwards, because you know, there's a
bunch of people walking back to the car and they go,
and we had a couple of drinks and they go,
and then we walked back to the car that time
and there was no one.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
She goes.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
It was a little scary, guys. It's a little sketch.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Grab your pocket.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Hey, it was a little sketch where they park, you
know what I mean. But when you're walking out of
the game, most people are walking that way too.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
You don't really see them.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Yeah, but you wait thirty minutes and go to the
bar and have two beers. It's cleared out and you're
the only one walking in this desolate area. Then it's like,
now I see how it's sketchy. Yeah, but that was messy, man,
it was really good. I didn't tell the kids I
was going. We wore a fake shirt. On the way
out of the house.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
I wore a polo We're going to dinner tonight, reviving
our marriage.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Wait, we told them we were going somewhere with friends,
which we were, but we did not tell them where.
So we had the shirts in the because they would
have balled. They would have balled, they had been upset,
they would have been sad. So you guys never have
told them about the game. No, we never told them
about the game.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Gosh did they know it was on TV? Yeah, but
it was a if they want to, I showed you.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Oh man, I'd have been bad. But at eight o'clock.
Hopefully they're in bed by that point because eight pm kickoff,
really eight fifteen was supposed to be laying down for
bed at that point, and so we just we didn't
feel like it was worth the fight, the disappointment, the
sadness in their eyes to tell them we were going
to the game. Yeah, so we literally said, hey, you're
gonna have a babysitter.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
We're going out drinking, me and your mom.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
And they're like, okay, where are you guys going. We're
going with friends somewhere.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
I'm gonna try and get lucky.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
And the great part is it's my three year old's
his best friend's parents. So we didn't tell him that
because then he would have been upset, like, come, I
don't get to go over there because we were meeting
at their house. So it was this whole you know
song and dance about wearing fake shirts and then having
the shirts in the car, then changing in the car.
I mean, I.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Know it sounds crazy, but like, what was the fake?
Sure your wife wore a dress and then she undressed.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
No, No, she was wore a T shirt because she was
wearing a national shirt T shirt at the game. She
was in her panties and and so I was in
just a red T shirt and I had hidden the
jersey under the seat in the card.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
But you never wear red. You were wearing a red
T shirt out? What is it? Scarlet lady? Night? The hell?

Speaker 1 (36:12):
I wasn't gonna wear it to the game. I was
just wearing it in the car.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Well, what if your kids saw you'd be like, Dad,
where are you going the fire department? They know, coach,
who the hell? Where's a red shirt? My kids don't
know did you see dad in red tonight? That was
a weird color on it.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
My kids don't know about like what you're supposed to
wear when you go places, so they don't know dress etiquette.
If you're not dressed up enough, they just know I'm
leaving the house. If they see me in a Nashville
se Jersey. They know I'm going to the game, So
you sometimes have to lie to your kids about where
you're going. You can't tell them the whole truth was.
You know, you'll know with your two and a half

(36:52):
kids in the freezer.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Thank you, coach. Was the eight o'clock call time? I
mean I was a little I took a nap before
or to prepare for it. Oh, I had the fight
on after that.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
I did take a nap in the afternoon before the game.
You have to get ready for the game because I
knew we were in the standing section, no sitting down.
Had to be prepared. I'm forty two years old. I
am not as young as I used to be. I'm
not as surprise as I used to be. And I
wanted to be in it and I didn't want to
be tired. And I did it and we crushed it
and it was an amazing night. And my kids still

(37:23):
don't know.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
And it was a hell of a fight. After that game, I.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Didn't watch it, but O'Malley and O Joe All Joe Ray,
did you watch it?

Speaker 2 (37:34):
Yeah? I watched the whole name how was it? We
had all Joe and we also had him as part
of about three of our other fall parlays, which all
came crashing down first round all Joe won it. Second round,
O'Malley just caught him. Al Jo like reached out for
sorry spoiler alert.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
No, it's over, you can spoil it all.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Joe gives him some little bitch tap on the face,
and then O'Malley's like, what your face is right here
in front of me? Boom knocked in.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
The fuck out sleeping dude.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Come on, I mean, dude, he just straight up caught him. Like,
what the hell was all Joe fucking thinking? Just got caught? Caught?
Ref did stopped a little early, I mean too a
couple of hammer punches on the ground, and then ref
jumped in, and I thought it was kind of like boxing.
I don't watch a lot of these ufcs. I've seen
my fair share. I thought the ref does a count

(38:22):
or something. Dude, Ref just jumps in and says peace out,
fight over.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
No, No, there's no count. There's no count.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
Hey, Ref, we couldn't have at least given it another
couple of seconds.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
But he was done right, Like he wasn't fighting back.
He took the hammer fist and.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
He was fighting back. He was still on his back,
hammer hammer twisting, hammer ref jumps in h ref. I
mean you couldn't have given it at least two point
five more seconds.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
Oh, did you have the over and rounds?

Speaker 2 (38:48):
No, we had All Joe. It went from minus two
fifty to minus two forty minus two thirty, and then
I think a graphic comes on the screen. Somebody betting
bet eight thousand dollars to win thirty six thousand.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
Thanks. I love the kiss of dead there, but you
know when they put that on screen, it usually doesn't
work out.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Really, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Half the time they put a big bet up for
one person, then another person, so one of those people
are gonna lose.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
But I had bet bad Mojo. The second I saw that,
I was like, great, eight thousand dollars. Somebody had inside
info O'Malley's gonna win. Here we go. And also I
should have watched updated footage of O'Malley. That dude is
big jacked. He's taller than him. He's a big old boy.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
Yeah, I didn't watch it. I have no idea. I
was too busy in my depression.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
And they had to drop to like one thirty five
and all Joe then posted on Twitter. Oh, I'm already
up to one forty four in counting, making O'Malley think
that he'd gained a bunch of weight. Yeah, then O'Malley
got on a scale and had a case of beer
and goes, I'm already up to one fifty five and
just showed the weight, and then they zoomed up to
him and he had a case of beer, just fucking
with him.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
That's fun.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
That's when you should have known.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
That's really funny. That's having a good time. I like
that a lot, oh man, But you know what, you're
not gonna like a lot. These people didn't pay for
Fantasy football either. The deadline has passed. When we come back,
it's time to redraw, folks. It's time to redraw. Your
dreams are not over. We'll be right back. Let me

Speaker 1 (41:43):
I did get your venmo? I saw it. I saw it.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
I'll tell you what that one hundred and fifty sending
it over. I'm like, we were sure that's them out right,
or we just talk about that in the podcast.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
No, No, that's for sure the amount. So let's go to
this wheel.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
I literally used to get paid four hundred dollars when
I first started this industry. That'd be half of a paycheck.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Well, guess what, it's no longer the standard, so you
have a little bit more money to pay. You bought
a house, you're okay.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
Inflation right, you know that kind of stuff. You got
a loan, so that means you're rich.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Now, okay, Stacey Rodgers, depression den. You have been marked off.
You were the first person selected the depression den. You
are the first person out of the depression den.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
You avoided better help.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
Yep, here we go. It's time to spin the wheel.
Let's see who gets Stacey Rodgers' spot. Stacey Rodgers spot
is gonna go to there. It is Gregory mulla Fosky.
Gregory Mullafosky.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Is that my cousin?

Speaker 1 (42:41):
I don't know, But Gregory.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
Mulofosky cousin is Gregory Westenberger.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Then that is not him, That is Wastinbagamus Foster. Now,
Xavier Sanchez, you are out. You are the second person
out of you that it did not pay.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
So let's go ahead and Xavior, you've been ax.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
Let's go here we go someone right now your dream
is about to come become true because Xavier Sanchez doesn't
know how to work Venmo and it is Depression DIN.
Joe IM very generic name. There's a lot of Joe
EM's out there. Joe EM, your email address is Tots

(43:24):
for Troy forty three, Tots for Troy or Tater's for
Troy forty three. I don't know Joe EM, but that's you.
You're on the clock. You're on the clock.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
Tator names making fun of.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
Some Venmo radio lunchbox next to go. A lot of
people in depression, A lot of people didn't want better help.
Depression Din had a lot of people not paid.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Also, I don't even know if there was that much
of an urgency that they had to pay right away.
Oh there was.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
It was set on the pod. They just didn't listen
to the pod, right. They don't go against I mean
every single person that heard it, they knew they had
to pay. Jose Gonzalez nineteen eighty nine, you've gone, you gone.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
Oh and he's he's only.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Thirty three yep, And in his place. Is you gotta
be kidding me? What was your cousin's name, Gregory Weston Bargin?
Oh no, it's Brian Myrick. Brian Myrick and I struggled
with this ray. It's like I'm doing all this over

(44:25):
the weekend. I'm checking who's paid, who hasn't.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
Paid Jackson balances.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
And my debate is, at some point do I need
to email these people and be like, hey man, just
so you know, the deadline's on Monday, you haven't paid.
Do you still want to play? Or is it like
you know what? We're grown ups. We do a podcast.
I said your name on the podcast on Friday. You
had three days to listen.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
It's on you, right, they can get pissed. Zip fizz
That is awesome. If you're drinking, guys, look it up.
I can't believe they actually have a commercial now, Sorry squirrel.
I wanted to say this, we can lose the six listeners.
I don't give an ass, but I will say this also,
Venmo one hundred and fifty hitting you up the callers

(45:08):
the listeners fantasy, but totally lost my train of thought
over to you, coach.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
But am I spot? Oh wait, you know what I
just noticed, Jamie. Oh did pay Jamie? Oh, I'm sorry
for calling you out.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
You led me to my point. So I was looking
at it. What if they're Venmo, doesn't match, their name
doesn't match their email? Oh? Bro, how confusing as hell
is that? Bro? I thought about for you.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
Just check this out. I had Martise No, let me see, yeah,
Maurice Spencer. Yes, right, well, Larry, there ain't no damn
Maurice Spencer on the whole list. I checked it five
freaking times.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
Sounds like a good use of time.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
There is no Maurice Spencer. Who knew that's Moe and
Tampa's Nate No idea.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
Ah, because I'm pretty sure my Venmo is Sissan Ray Mundo,
like legit.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
I literally had to go back to the email, go
to the Gmail and type in Maurice Spencer into the
like search bar, and that's when mow and Tampa popped up.
And I'm like, good God, do you don't think if
your name doesn't match, you could at least say, hey,
I'm Mowen Tampa. And I thought his name was like
Rudy do Fold like something like that according to his email,

(46:31):
But no, he has six different names he might be
a serial killer and.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
That by forty eight. So that's what it was like
for every one of them.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Yes, So I don't know, but I said, I asked
my wife, I said, so, should I email these people
and be like, hey, you haven't paid, are you still
interested in playing? And she told me no, I think
they should have listened to the podcast. And I said, Okay,
if that's how you feel, that's how I feel, let's
do it.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
Executive decision.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
Yeah, do you agree with that decision?

Speaker 2 (46:58):
Yeah, I don't really care. I mean, I know you
don't care. I feel like, since it is one hundred
and fifty dollars, that's a steep little hill to climb.
So I feel like even if they didn't make the league,
they could be like, oh, I mean one hundred and
fifty dollars, dude, if you don't know a lot about football,
I mean, that's a toss away of one hundred and
fifty dollars. I understand you need to know a decent amount.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
And I would like to congratulate the suburban white pick
of fences. Every single person from that division paid.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Yeah, and that's because I reached out to each and
every one of them made sure everybody was going to pay,
got their venmos lined up constant correspondence in the White
Pickett division.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
Yeah, I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
I didn't do any of that.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
Hey, where's Shane Bray? All but one paid, I mean,
Roger A paid, Dre from Chicago, Martin Moran, Martin Moran,
Moron Moran, whatever, Zach Woodebinweeker, Peter Castill, they all paid.
Tony Suck did not pay. So, Tony Suck, and we
were removing you right now, let me check my venmo
again as we do this.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
I just I really don't think that it that the
actual drawing needed to be on the podcast. I feel
like we could have done a better use of a podcast.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
Well, how else would people know? You know how exciting
it is to hear your.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
Name Facebook Live.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
Now that's too much, Tony Suck, You're out? Who's in?
Who is in? Shane? Hey, where's Shane Bray? Added to
that division is going to be Ben Davis, Ben Davis.
Get him, Bennie, Ben Davis.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
I'm mayor Benny. Hey, Benny, why don't you get off
that tractor boy? You come on over.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
Here, Hey, Ben Davis born in nineteen fifty.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
Holy Benny boy, you organize and retired.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
Now, boy, I didn't realize. Boy, yeah, we didn't know.
I didn't realize we had someone from nineteen fifty listening
to this show. So Ben Davis is in. All right,
let's see, let's go over to depression Den. We have
everybody now, yep, now.

Speaker 2 (48:59):
And if I win, I'm gonna pocket three grand and
I'm gonna get Boomer twenty bucks for his help with
the team.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
That's not a bad move. One last refresh of the
ole Venmo Legally I'm covered. Okay, there we go. Next
to go lose Preston Lukovich. The Russian bot did not.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Pay, Ai says denied.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
Russian bot did not pay. Here we go, one last
spin of the wheel.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
We're losing listeners.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
No, we're not right. We're gonna this is the last name.
We're gonna spread this over a third podcast. Wow, Sears
gets in again. Mike, guess you're back in and craft
dude job Mike never Jay Sears is his email? You
know who you are, Mike guess I think he was
in before unless I just recognize the name from something else.

(49:53):
But that's it. That's all of them, folks.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
You have all this pet Talk. I didn't even know
who Mike Guess was. Has he hit us up before?

Speaker 1 (50:00):
I think so? But yeah, all those other people that
are still waiting. Wyatt Craig, you didn't get in. Weed Bomber,
you're not in again. Dang Weed he never paid, no way,
he just never he would. Austin Boggs, your name did
not get drawn. Justin Schwab didn't get drawn. Oscar Villane
Wava did not get drawn. Did you see that one person,
Arnold Bailey the me Arnold did I get drawn?

Speaker 2 (50:22):
I believe it was a guy and his brother, maybe
his cousin. He goes. Both our names got mentioned on
the podcast, and neither one of us got in the league.
It was ones you mentioned them and they then said
that you guys did not make it in.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
I feel bad. I feel bad. I did see someone saying, dude,
if they don't pay, do I get in? Because I
was the name that got I would have been the
next person. That's not how it worked. We got to
spin a random wheel on my computer on the website. Yeah,
and right now we're gonna take a break. Ray, what
did you do this weekend? I oh, dude, your post Bennery, Yes,

(50:59):
just that was the casino that didn't have the Women's
World Cup on.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
Yeah, I know, Encore looks really nice.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
No, no, it looks just like Encore in Las Vegas,
like exactly the same pretty much.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Okay, because there's some restaurant that Menory was eating at
in there, Frenetti's or something, some Italian spot looked phenomenal.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
So did you hit up Justin and say, dude, Memory's
at the casino right now?

Speaker 2 (51:23):
Trying to think how it went down. I did definitely
hit him up, and I go, hey, Memory's in Boston partying,
all right, go hey, you got to get to It
wasn't like then because Memory posted him getting his haircut,
and so I think I said, hey, Bob Menery, remember
he was on the podcast that badass dude. Oh Justin
loves Memory too. Okay, I didn't know that, so I
didn't have to explain it to him, but I go, hey,
he's getting his haircut, ha ha, are you going on

(51:43):
Encore this weekend? And then Justin had some time off.
I believe it doesn't work till Tuesday, and so he
goes to Encore and I go, that's funny. You bumped
into that, dude, he's frigging there. But I mean, I
knew Menory, goes vip. He's probably a high high end
slot machine, you know, not necessarily going to bump into him.
Justin goes. I wish I would have saved the text.

(52:04):
Oh my god, good dude, we go.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
These are important though, like these moments are important to
have the dialogue.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Oh, Memory is at Granite Links, badass course where Jessica lives,
one hundred and eighty round. I hit the range up
there somehow only sixteen dollars for a large bucket, and
I said, for Telly's an encore looks amazing, per Bob Menory.
And he goes went back lost my ass on Roulette,
wondering what the fuck I've done? What are he's talking about?

(52:34):
But I told him, I go, hey, you got to
go bump into Memory. And so he goes to the casino,
let's say Friday night, because I posted on Saturday. And
he said, I see Menory, but I'm way too sober.
And then he said Memory's got his two goons with him.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
Oh, he can't talk to him because hes sober. He
doesn't have the balls, is a little nervous.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
And he said he had a couple of security guys
kind of with him. Okay, So then he finally got
into the circle and took the pic and you know,
he was just liquored up enough. And what did the
Balmer effect?

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Did he talk to memory, did he have a conversation,
did he say anything?

Speaker 2 (53:02):
You guys look it up. Balmber effect. It's when you
operate your best under a certain amount of alcohol. If
you go above that, you will operate worst. If you
go below it, you operate not so well either. Balmer effect.
He just went up to him and then got the
picture really quick, and it was DAPs and it was
quick and it was out.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
That was it.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Yeah, he said his haircut guy was with him. And
did he say he was talking to the haircut guy
at first? I think it was quick that dude, you know, Mentory,
he's on zippies, zapped. He's not trying to sit around
and have a conversation for an hour with somebody. It's
just what's up, man? Yeah, Yeah, he's at a casino.
He had it. Oh and justin thought he's with his
ex girlfriend, but he's with some new chick. So it

(53:39):
was it was quick. Bob was with his people.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
He's not kind of sit in. I thought, whoa you?

Speaker 2 (53:44):
You know me from the Sore Losers podcast that I
didn't even post about. You don't know.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
I don't remember those guys at all. There was terrible.
There was some dumb asses.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
The picture, there was more. There was less to the
picture than actually the fact of the picture.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
Picture was great. Yeah, picture was great.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
And then I wake up Saturday morning basers like get up,
get up, get up. Justin bumped into Bob. He found
Bob Berry and I was like, Justin, can I have
exclusive rights to this picture to post on Sore Losers?
And Justin said, no, I'm kidding. I don't care.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
That's funny. And by the way, we are working on
a new logo. I mean, I know people have been
calling for it. We really need it. We're trying. We're
working on it T shirt. I told the company it
was terrible at awful bad. And then we just got
a design like gear because we need new gear and
also need it.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
This is real. Remember our design lady said less is more.
The more you do to something, the more it costs.
You got to keep something simple. So I get you're
trying to do some crazy graphic that's like three d
and has rainbow shooting out of it, but that costs
us more. You realize that.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
Didn't realize that, man, Ray, We're gonna lose money. Didn't
realize that. But I was gonna give you a team
snacks update. Season got started this weekend, but I will
have to do that on Wednesdays.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
Thank God. Way too much soccer that I will say
is probably the only MLS game I'm ever gonna watch.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
National Ce plays inter Miami in a week and a half.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
I know, I saw that, and I did remember this.
I wanted I thought about this bit, not even a bit,
just a statement I wanted to make, and I thought
it'd be good on the podcast. My grandfather's generation. My
grandfather never watched a minute of MLS. My dad, my
dad never even watched a split second of MLS. Me

(55:23):
I have watched ninety minutes of MLS. That is progress
in America, and I will hang up and listen. That's
what I want to say. Congratulations soccer, you have grown
by ninety minutes and three generation only How what will

(55:46):
my eggs watch a whole match and a half. Holy shit,
So help me. That's all I had to say. I
thought that would up on the patio.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
Damn, that was kind of rude.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
Man.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
I watched the Women's World Cup final yesterday. I guess
I wasn't watching it live. It's probably the replay, but
I didn't know who won.

Speaker 2 (56:09):
It was early. Oh.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
I watched it like one o'clock in the afternoons. It
was a replay, but I watched it. I watched Spain win.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
And makes me think it was freaking two teams that
were at the very top of the betting, and it
was USA and next one, not Spain. We just listened
to our USA hopers.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
I listened to USA because I believe in USA.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
Man, we were so bad starting the tournament. You said
there so bad.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
Oh, they loved terrible against Vietnam. I told you they
were terrible. They just won that game ten nothing. When
they didn't, I was like, we can't win at all.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
And guys in the next week, I know we're not
recording anymore. But you have got to get your fall
parlays in in NFL, NBA. If you want to do
a rookie bet and then college football once it starts,
you can't do those foundation parlays for the whole fall. NFL,
college football, MLS, NBA L Premier League. Liar, you gotta

(57:01):
bet in the next week. I'm telling you guys, and
if you want to do NLSA young, it's down between
two guys at Strider from Atlanta and Blake Snell in
San Diego.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
H
