Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Right, when did we all get this dumb? Almost only
counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and nuclear warfare. I don't
see anybody, so it doesn't count. I'm the chef. I
want to hear one thing. Yes, chef, Come on, man,
here's your brain. The ym Angry Podcast start now. All right,

(00:36):
it's the y Angry Podcast back here in the Freestyle
Man Cave studio. This is the chef, and uh, you
know it's it's been a week. Uh, A lot of
stuff's gone on. Just been one of those those week
and a halfs or so. Uh. My wife had a birthday,

(00:58):
so that took up some time. I had a water
pump issue where I tore down everything and then decided
it was just a twenty dollars switch. Probably spent around
one thousand dollars in parts, and then had to return
them all to find to see that it was just

(01:21):
the the flow switch, so our pressure switch. So learned
a ton save some money in the long run, but
a lot of that money had to be returned to
me after store credits and things of that nature. And
we're just just straight returns. So just one of those

(01:47):
you know deals. Where we we live, we learn we
get get some of those things going on and we
find out what's going on. So with that, you know,
we've got a pretty big show here. We've got you know,

(02:10):
Gulf of America. We got Australians turning themselves into or
renaming themselves. We've got real life Jonah or not a
real life but a modern day Yonah. All kinds of things,
and we'll be getting into that in just a few minutes.

(02:32):
And here's our first break all right, coming out of

(04:14):
the break here, make sure you're getting on follow, liking,
and sharing us. Make sure that if you have any
comments or words of wisdom, anything, that any articles that
you may want us to hit even tonight, have got
the I've got the email, a dress up, hit us

(04:37):
up on the y I'm Angry podcast at gmail dot com,
or hit us in the comments, shoot me a link
so I can at least see the article. I'll try
to vet it through in a in a comment time,
in a commercial break time, I guess, and then and
then from there we'll, yeah, then we'll get it on

(05:00):
here and we'll talk about it and uh, you know,
break it down. So, first thing, it's been really really crazy,
really kind of interesting to see you know, how how
the how Trump is interacting with the the new media

(05:23):
or the media outlets, how the media outlets are are
reacting with Trump, partially because of how they have flip
flopped a bunch and how you know, all of a sudden,
now you know, you got Google, you got Apple, You've
got all these guys. Facebook is now catering to to

(05:44):
the the Trump agenda making making themselves more transparent. And
I don't know whether that's because they're trying to circumvent,
you know, being surprised, you know, being surprised attacked, or
there just trying to and and trying to keep keep
themselves in business, or if they're just you know, in

(06:06):
one of those deals where it's just like they're they're
just trying to you know, stay relevant. I think I
think that that could be part of it. Also is
just you know, look, we cater to who's in charge
and where the money's at and where the where the
where the funds are and we're finding out the funds
are in the us AID but or we're in USAID.

(06:32):
So one of the one of the stories that popped
up that I thought was just I mean, it's it's
not that big a deal, but it it it feels
like it's more than than what it is, I guess,
but it's, uh, the America's new golf. And so there

(06:56):
were now we're now going to call the Golf of Mexico,
We're gonna call it the Golf of America. And I
know that that's like, that's not a that's not a
super new news story, but it's uh, there's some there's

(07:23):
there's been some things like Apple maps there now they
have now changed the Gulf of Mexico on Apple Maps
in America to the Gulf of America. So Americans, Uh,
anyone in the American time zones in the kind of
the satellite zone or or tower zone in America, we'll

(07:48):
see the Gulf of of America. And you might say, like,
isn't there like this process of just you know, changing that,
and there is normally you go through to change names
or whoever. The pre the group that kind of determines

(08:09):
the names is the US Board of Geographic Names, Board
on Geographic Names, and kind of what he did was
just basically the wording was that he would like them
to adopt the change in for federal buildings for federal

(08:32):
talking about I guess for things, things that would mention
the Gulf of Mexico would now mention it as the
Gulf of America. So in Mexico, Apple Maps, Google Maps,
Google has also adopted it. Google Maps would also so
in Mexico they'll say the Gulf of Mexico still because

(08:55):
I guess the Mexican government still still wants to la claim,
which they own just just just about half. I think
we own just about half and then of the coastline,
and Cuba owns about about a tiny portion that that

(09:20):
kind of takes up enough that we don't own a
full half. Mexico doesn't really own a full half, and
so yeah, so Cuba has a little bit, a little
little claim to it. Also, I mean, the Gulf of
America kind of kind of makes it feel like it's ours.

(09:41):
But at the same time it makes sense because it
is the Gulf of North America, like it is. It's
you know, we don't normally call you know, unless it's
fully engulfed in a country. Normally it is you know,
even even the Persian golf isn't you know, that's not

(10:03):
a country. Persia is not a country anymore. It's a
it's a region, and it's not even not even a
continent really, I mean they maybe they should call it
like the Asian golfer or you know, European golf, I guess,
because it's kind of in between, in between that area.

(10:23):
But anyhow, they you know, it is, it is what
it is. It makes sense to call it the Gulf
of America just about the same as it makes some
sense of me it's calling Golf of Mexico. I mean,

(10:45):
they could call the little golf on the other side
the Gulf of like I think is Guadalajara or something
like that. They could call that the Gulf of Mexico
because it is fully enveloped by Mexico. But you know,
there's things. But I mean, at least we're not starting

(11:05):
a war with Panama in this, I mean, maybe Mexico.
But I don't think they care that that much. I mean,
other than the fact that on some maps outside of
Mexico in the US, it will be called the Gulf
of Mexico slash America or Gulf of Mexico slash Golf
of America. So I mean, it's gonna get wordy and

(11:26):
kind of convoluted, But you know what, what can you do.
What can you say? So with that being said, you know,
it's just interesting to see that. You know, if it
were if it, if it would have been Trump saying this,
you know, two years ago, we would have laughed at him.

(11:51):
I mean people would have laughed at him, and Apple
and Google would not have changed anything. I mean, it's
the same thing. Like I don't, I don't, Uh, it
just it just seems like it's convenient that now they're like,
let's listen to him, to the tea, blah blah blah,
let's follow everything he says. And I wonder if that's

(12:12):
if that's a consequence of, you know, the whole Doge
deal where they're you know, jumping into different departments and
making sure that everything's efficient, making sure that we're getting
rid of things that aren't and things like that. So

(12:35):
in other other news, I mean, we've got uh, Trump
and Putin. We're on a call this weekend this week, uh,
I think yesterday. Uh. Basically they're talking about or this
is laying the foundation hopefully for ending the war in

(12:56):
uh in Ukraine. I don't, I you know, I it's hard.
It's gonna be hard for Putin to just set it
down and not in Ukraine not consider this a victory

(13:16):
just because they weathered the storm. And so I see
this as as one of those uh, tough, tough deals
where you know, Putin's either gonna have to keep keep
the land that he's taken to to consider it a
a victory, where he's going to you know, he's gonna

(13:38):
just he's he's gonna end up falling on it and
saying that it was a loss. And and I don't
think I don't think that's I don't think that's gonna happen.
I just don't think that he he sets he allows
himself to be to have lost to a Ukraine, a
country that is like a tenth of the size of

(14:00):
of his of his country, and and it was at
one point a part of the country, and has somehow
convinced their people that they are ardently against being part
of Russia. And I understand it because Russia hasn't doesn't

(14:20):
have a great track record of treating your people right.
They don't have, I meany even with their socialists system.
You know, people stand in lines for healthcare, they stand
in lines for food. There there is a lot of
a lot of of lack there there's a lot of drugs,

(14:44):
and there's a lot of of I guess, uh shady
dealings on the side, and there's mob there, there's different
uh you know, criminal aspects, some bribery. They've got a
history of of bribery and and that, and so it

(15:05):
just you know, just to to you know, just stay
out of that. I mean, I'm not saying that uh
Zelensky is is any better or that the government of
Ukraine is a ton a ton better, because you can
you can point at a maybe less than honest vote

(15:33):
in in Ukraine for for Zelensky. So all in all,
it's a it's a tough situation. It's a tough decision,
it's a tough it's a it's a tough area and
maybe that one is is just as tough, if not.
I mean, honestly, it's it's it's like it's like a

(15:54):
fight with your brother and you and you don't want
to back down, as you know, as the older brother,
the big brother, and say, listen, you did good, you
thought what fought I fought a good fight. We're gonna
pull out and uh we you know, we'll we'll assess

(16:17):
this deal later. Where guy's a stripping all of that.
It doesn't doesn't feel quite as as as easy as that,
It doesn't feel quite as I mean, it's a six

(16:40):
thousand year old battle. I mean, it's a it's a
before Jesus. It's a David fought in this battle. It's
a Saul fought off these people. It's you know, it's
not the same, Yes, it's not the same Israel as
as the as the Chosen Ones, as the Promised Land,

(17:03):
as the the Abrahamites, and and on all of that.
But it is the same same people, you know, it is.
It is the Israelites, and it is the Palestinians. You know,
it is the Israelis and the Palestinians, and and and

(17:25):
maybe those people aren't you know, it's not the Jews
and the Palestinians. It's it's it's the Israelis. And you
know it's it's been it's been around for a long time.
And I always joke that, you know, if the Israeli
Israelis stopped blowing up buildings, then the Palestinians would stop

(17:48):
having rocks to throw at the Israelis, because you always
saw you know, Palestinians or Israelis running through going through
town with tanks and and and things of that, rle
riot shields and things, and you see Palestinians out on
the street throwing rocks, and I don't know whether that's
that's some kind of propaganda two to get people to uh,

(18:15):
you know, just rally behind them. But I, you know,
I just I just don't know whether that's that, you know,
whether that whether that's that's that's the propaganda, or that

(18:36):
is actually what was going on, you know, whether they're
always just you know, throwing rocks out there and then
things like that. So I sorry, I'm having a little
trouble with with switching screens, but so I don't know
whether whether that's you know, but that's always what we saw.
That's always what we saw on the on the news.

(18:57):
That's always the the what they what they were portraying,
And I don't know whether they were trying to portray
it as as you know, we should, we should all,
you know, worry about the Palestinians, and in all honesty,
you know, we should worry about you know, Palestinian people

(19:18):
because people are people, and we you know, we need
to be humanitarians first, I guess. At the same time,
you know, if it's if it's a terrorist you know,
organization hamas that is is out there or has a
law that's out there blowing things up and fighting people.

(19:40):
And maybe they're the military for Palestine, or maybe they're
the military for Iran, maybe you know, whatever they are,
then then that's a different story. And that's not that's
not a bunch of people that are you know, or

(20:02):
just you know, wanting wanting freedom. That's that's an organization
fighting a country and uh, fighting against their sovereignty. So again,
just uh, you know, get on here, you know, make
sure that you're you're following link and sharing. I got

(20:22):
to go into another break here. But you know, while
you're there, while we're on break, while we're you're just
kind of thinking about things, you know, uh, you know,
send us an email, gives shoot us a comment in
the in the comments here, and uh, you know, we'll
get to get some some conversations back and forth and

(20:45):
keep this thing.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Going as assassa, assassa, assassa.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
H All right, let me hit some buttons here, get

(22:42):
some things off my face again. Get on our our
email here, whym Angry Podcast at gmail dot com. Get
your voice heard, and you know, let us know what
you're thinking. Give us anytime we've we missed articles or whatever.

(23:03):
Let us let us know that we missed an article.
There it is, I was looking at the wrong camera
some reason. I had had my a camera up and
it kept showing me all this craziness. I was trying
to figure out why the live programming wasn't wasn't showing
all of the graphics and things around. And so that's up. Now.

(23:27):
Sorry about new music this week so far. We uh,
we got into the music and all of that, and
I got a couple I've got a couple of royalty
free songs and things like that, but we got hit
by royalty things on it. So we're still working on

(23:48):
getting all of that set up. Looks like today they
they approved Robert F. Kennedy RFK Junior for the Secretary
of the Health Secretary nomination. Hit the button come on

(24:10):
and so that starts that that's the you know, he's
gone on and he's they also, oh, they also confirmed
Tulca Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence Intelligence and those

(24:31):
were the two as a fifty two to forty eight vote,
and so both of those have been have been confirmed
now as of the one paper I got, it hadn't
been confirmed yet. RFK Junior hadn't been confirmed yet, but

(24:54):
you know, they're just there. They're two of the most
at risk nominations. You know. Even my father in law,
who was like, yeah, we're getting them, he was a
little worried about RFK Junior. He wasn't quite sure on
that one. So we'll be It'll be interesting to see
because you know, RFK Junior was super against, you know,

(25:15):
even being even though he was like a Democrat, he
was super against, you know, the vaccines, a lot of
the vaccine mandates, especially like all kinds of different little
things in that he's way against the artificial sweeteners. Hees

(25:38):
against a lot of the chemicals that we used to
to keep our food lasting as long as it does,
and just just different things like that that you you
wouldn't think about that, You wouldn't think that our country
was lasadaisical on things. But we've approved a ton of

(26:01):
different drugs, a ton of different additives to our food,
a ton of different different things that other countries have
either not approved at all or have gone back and
said no, this isn't good for you. After you know,
after the studies have come out that it could cause cancer,

(26:24):
or it could cause this or that. A lot of
them have have thought that and have gone gone back
to just saying, now this isn't this isn't good. So yeah,
so there those guys are in. Let me check through here.

(26:46):
I knew there was a couple more Super Bowl pulls
in a record of eight hundred million in AD revenue
for Fox. Shawn Combs one hundred million dollar deformation lawsuit
now against NBC claiming false allegations against him in a documentary.

(27:08):
If you've not seen the documentary, I haven't seen it
yet on Peacock. But yeah, now he's suing them for
a hundred million dollars in deformation. The only the only
thing like this won't go through until his case is
is done. So I mean, because you can't prove it
isn't true or it is true until they prove it

(27:31):
is or isn't true. So one other interesting event, I guess,
kind of making something irrelevant relevant again was President Trump
was named the chair of the Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts in an unanimous vote by newly appointed board

(27:52):
of trustees. The reason that he had that there were
newly appointed Board of Trustees because he fired them all.
Uh he fired a when he comes a week after
Trump removed Democratic members of the board. Like, if you've
looked at it over the last if you've if you've followed,
and I haven't other than from way far. I mean,

(28:16):
I'm like in the nosebleed seats and I've just happened
to glance across it because I glanced across the you know,
all kinds of news. But I mean, they they've recognized
just the craziest of crazy things and just you know,
it's come it's become very you know, just there's there's

(28:41):
no relative worth to it. You know, so maybe with
maybe with a a different set of eyes on it,
maybe with somebody that is actually worried about you know,
it isn't isn't just trying to you know, push an
agenda that that maybe then maybe this will this will

(29:04):
come back to being a prestigious award. It used to
be a prestigious group. To become to be honored by
the Kennedy Center was like a life life achievement type thing.
Or you had one really great year or you just
you just acted you you were just the top of

(29:26):
your field. But it's become an act, an activism group.
If you were the right if you if you were
the right person, you you donated enough money to the
right campaign, if you uh, you know, you told the

(29:49):
right story, then then that was that was getting you in.
So for what it's worth, Trump is now the chairperson
of the Kennedy Center. You know, watch out taking over
the Kennedy Center. Now taking over, you know, calling the

(30:12):
Gulf of Mexico Golf of America. I mean we're we're
a quick slide to uh to uh, you know, him
being a ruthless dictator. Here, quick slide, short, short slide. Here,
underwater observatories detect that the most neutrino uh energetic neutrino

(30:38):
to date, known as the ghost particle uh an estimated
ten trillion neutrinos passed through your body every second. Uh
so extra extra charge uh energetic charged in the underwater
sea turtles. This was kind of funny. Uh. Sea turtles

(31:01):
create them. They've found that sea turtles create a mental
map of the Earth's magnetic fields to help them guide
them to help guide them through foraging areas and studies.
Studies find the animals also dance when sensing food related
magnetic fields. I mean, who isn't super happy when they

(31:22):
find food or when they find the food that they
really like and things. But on the also on that
on their mental maps, will they call the Gulf of
Mexico the Gulf of America? Will they switch to Can Trump? Uh?
Can Trump get a hold of those guys so that

(31:45):
you know the sea turtles know where they're going? I
think they he should get on that and and get
that going pretty quick here. Okay. Eight inspector generals sue
Trump administration for allegedly violating federal law by terminating a

(32:10):
group of government watchdogs last month without notifying Congress. So
Trump fired a bunch of watchdogs, governmental watchdogs. Eight governmental
watchdogs are suing over their mass firing, saying that the

(32:31):
lawsuit filed Wednesday asks a judge to declare the firing
unlawful and resport and restore the inspector generals to their
position at the agency. The watchdogs are charged with rooting
out waste, fraud, and abuse at government agencies and playing

(32:56):
a non partisan oversight role over trillions of dollars in
federal spending and the conduct of millions of federal employees.
According to the lawsuit, the president's presidents can remove inspector generals,
but the Trump administration did not give congress legally required

(33:16):
thirty day notice, something that even top Republicans decried. Well,
here's the deal, Like, he created the Department of Efficient
Government Efficiency, which I think, which I feel like kind

(33:38):
of goes hand in hand with this group. And obviously
this group is missing something because they missed a lot
of what the USAID was doing in and basically, you
know the USAID if you if you follow that, if
you work to you know, go back on that. And

(34:00):
I haven't done a full case study on it yet,
but we're working on doing the research here. It's a
US eight has been a giant money laundering scheme. I mean,

(34:21):
just so this group of watchdogs, they deserve to be fired.
You didn't do your job right, you didn't do your
job well, and it's time to go see you later. Bye.
So anyhow, the firing of the independent, nonpartisan Inspector General

(34:44):
was a clear violation of law, said Michael Massol, the
former Inspector General of the Department of Veteran Affairs. The
IGS are bringing this action for reinstatement so that they
can go back to working to work fighting fraud, waste,
and abuse on behalf of the American public. At the

(35:06):
time of the firing, Senator Chuck Grassei, Republican of Iowa,
said there may have been good reason for the termination,
but the Congress needed to know. So the biggest thing
with Congress. The only reason Congress decried was that they

(35:26):
were they weren't let know ahead of time. Following there
war a warning from his office that the administration's dismantling
of the agency had made it all but impossible to
monitor eight point two billion dollars in unspent humanitarian funds.

(35:50):
The role of the modern day inspector general dates to
post Watergate Washington, when Congress installed offices inside agencies as
an independent check against mismanagement and abuse of power. I mean,
it is a good The inspector generals have been a
good thing. But again, why haven't they found, you know,

(36:17):
the corruption that that that has been there? You know,
I mean, you can't tell me that it doesn't seem
like the FBI or the I R S or things
of that agencies of that of that nature have been
militarized or weaponized against political adversaries. I mean, just just

(36:41):
that alone doesn't doesn't really really speak well for for
what's going with what's been going on, and it doesn't
really speak well for those guys as as a group. Yeah,

(37:04):
that doesn't speak well for them as as inspector generals,
because if you look at what they said in the
very beginning of what they were spoke, you know what
their deal was is they're rooting out re waste, fraud
and abuse at government agencies. I mean, what were the
last four years? Were these guys asleep? Were these guys

(37:25):
just these I know what it is. I figured it out.
Don't worry about it. Don't send me messages telling me
exactly what they do. But if you would like to,
it's uh why I'm Angry podcast at email dot com
right there, right right there, right there, and uh if

(37:46):
if not, I but I figured it out. These guys
were all part of the work from Home group. They
were working remotely. They didn't see it because they weren't
home or they weren't there, they were at home, and
so they've been called back, and they got called back

(38:07):
just in time to get fired, interestingly enough, but you know,
just in time. So I figured it out. It's not
their fault. They were working from home and they got
caught up. They didn't they didn't see it because they
were you know, they just couldn't see it. So the

(38:33):
Course Coast Guard releases recordings thought to be the sound
of the twenty twenty three Titanic submersible implosion. It took
two years to figure it out. More than ninety million
people under winter weather advisories or warnings as snowstorms sweep

(38:56):
across the US Midwest and East. Chicago, Detroit, and Kansas City,
Missouri among other places to be hit by the largest
with the largest snowfall. I don't think we're supposed to
be hit by all that. We're supposed to get some
rain this weekend. But I don't think we're in I

(39:19):
think we're too far south. I know that we have
family in West Virginia that got a bunch, and it
said Midwest. The storm barely skimmed the Midwest, but dumped
more than six inches of snow on Ronald Reagan Washington
National Airport and twice that amount on parts of West

(39:42):
Virginia and West Virginia residents were shoveling portrait. Yeah, we
had we had the snowblower leaf blowers out clearing off
driveways and things of that nature. They were having fun
in West Virginia, some of the family and that they
live up in the mountains and stuff, so they get
a lot of a lot of that snow and so

(40:05):
they were just playing around. So yeah, I guess we're
we're gonna get missed unfortunately. I mean, I like some snow.
It has been kind of a snowy. I mean, we
still got a little bit of snow sitting around in
piles because it's been cold, which is okay with me.

(40:25):
I don't mind the cold too badly. Today I felt
like it was it was cold. Maybe it's just because
you know, it was cool in the house a little
bit down in the studio here and you know, just
kind of gave gave me the chill. So well, I

(40:45):
think next next segment we're going to we're gonna do
a new segment called a a little Exercise in Hooliganism.
We're gonna talk about a little soccer, a little bit,
a little bit of sports. So yeah, it'll be fun.
Let's uh, you know, we'll see in just a few minutes.

(41:08):
And uh, you know, like I said, you know, get
on follow like and share. That helps us, you know,
keep our keep our things going. It helps us get support,
It helps show advertisers and that that we are viable,
that we are getting their names out when when things

(41:30):
go on, and you know, just just helps us out.
And it's free to you guys. All I gotta do
is push the button when you're listening and help us out.
Just hit that button. So another quick break here and
we'll be right back. All right, we are back, and uh,

(43:24):
you know.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Just.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
A little uh you know, little extra sauce for you
to get in some here. We'll talk about some of
the goings on and grabbing the bug in soccer if
if you have a question of you know, rules, anything
like that. I mean, I'm going to try to get
set up and give you guys kind of a tutorial today.

(43:48):
I was having a little issue with uh, you know,
getting everything completely set up and so this is kind
of a work in progress still and uh, we're just
we're just gonna go with it. I really, I mean,
I really enjoy soccer and other sports. Right now, we're
walking into the very beginning of the MLS season. I

(44:10):
think it starts on February twenty seconds. For at least
the Columbus Crew, which I'm a fan of. Obviously, with
Columbus till I die as a chant and with that
we as a Columbus Crew fan, we are obstinate oppit.

(44:30):
I'm not sure. I'm not really sure what we are.
I like to be, you know, I like to be
excited about the season, but I'm slightly pessimistic about the
season because we've lost two of our best goal scorers
in Christian Ramirez and Kucho Hernandez and just and just

(44:56):
like right like that, It's not like we kind of
knew that Kucho was leaving. Probably we were hoping it
was you know, at least we would get the summer
with him and then maybe lose him in August. Just
just fair fact. In soccer, if you don't watch soccer

(45:17):
very often or or whatever, you know, there is kind
of a there are kind of there are windows that
you can trade in, and that's kind of the difference
between like American baseball, where you know, yes, there's a
no trade time frame and stuff like that, but you

(45:39):
can still kind of get around and you got I
think you can still kind of kind of half get
around the windows. Like certain countries have different different windows.
Like right now in the US you can trade anytime.
I mean, it's kind of like the baseball, basketball, football
you don't have like you can trade between the teams
in the country, but to go internationally you have to

(46:03):
you have to wait until Like they have a January window,
which is the month of January makes it easy to remember.
And then you have the summer window, which I think
is August, and I think it's either all of just
all of August or it's part of July and August.
I don't remember exactly how that how what timeframe that is,

(46:26):
but that's considered the end of the season for Europe
because Europe plays throughout the winter and uh we play
throughout the summer. So the the January, you know, is
it's good for us to bring in people because we're
bringing in people who have who are you know, who

(46:48):
are not in season. But it's tough for us during
the beginning of the season the January window to bring
people in because we're bringing them from a team that
is already playing or that wants to keep that player
or the team together. Not too many teams are willing

(47:09):
to you know, unless you got you have that team
that's not really really pushing, and then they kind of
they'll trade it a player off to make some money
or something like that. Or you got a team that
spent a bunch of money who didn't you know, who
didn't end up making the grade, and then they, you know,

(47:37):
they're willing to give up a player or try to
try to sell on a player to make to cover
some costs. Maybe they got a player that's playing really
well or scoring a bunch of goals or something like that.
Tomorrow or today, if you're listening to this Friday morning,
it premier lye. We have Brighton and Cholsea. They're at

(47:59):
eight o'clock. You know Brighton If it's yeah, it's at Brighton.
Brighton has been pretty much. Yeah, they've got a five
game unbeaten against Chelsea and they're pretty much. They're pretty
they're they're fighting pretty good at home. Manchester City and

(48:21):
Newcastle are playing on Saturday at three o'clock. I think
our time their time. I don't know what the time
is on it, but maybe it's their time. It's three o'clock,
so it'd be super early in the morning for us
and man City have they've they've lost just one in

(48:42):
their last thirty four games against Newcastle. But Newcastle has
been on a hey, they've been they've been moving up,
been playing really good. They won their each of the
last four league games on the road. You got Tattenham

(49:03):
and Manchester United on Sunday, so another good, good battle.
Oh and then so the the Premier League is talking

(49:24):
about getting the it's called p s R, which is
let's see if I can figure find out it's it's
an it's a line judge thing. Oh no, that's the sorry,
that's the is a squad cost ratio. So they're they're

(49:50):
trying to do it's it's their fair fair rules so
that they can kind of keep clubs from getting getting
too much bigger than other clubs. They have instead of
having like a salary cap, they only have so much
that they can lose. And so it's related to player costs.

(50:14):
This description of it isn't isn't real good. But they're
they're going to delay the induction of the PSR rules
implementing a squad cost ratio rule which is pretty much
near unanimously implemented, which would limit clubs to spending a

(50:36):
set percentage of their income on player related costs. However,
it was it was agreed that issues must be ironed
out before it's full induction. Right now, the league's profit
Sustainability Rules, which is the PSR, which allows the club

(51:01):
to lose no more than one hundred and five million
in the three year cycle, will remain in force until
next season. And basically what that is is like, if
you spend one hundred million dollars on a player, or
two hundred million dollars on a player, then you have
to make that money up, so either by selling another

(51:22):
player off or by bringing in the tickets winning cups.
I mean some of these some of these cups that
they win, they make you know, so much money ad revenue.
The league gives you so much for TV revenue for

(51:44):
you know, the all the streaming rights on Peacock, all
of the streaming rights that you know, on whatever channels
that they're on in the UK or around the world.
It's it's a pretty lucrative deal. I think the top
so many get a couple hundred you know, get a million,
a couple hundred million or something like that. I did
see that a while back. But they're going to go

(52:08):
to this squad, you know, this squad cost ratio, which
would limit their spending down to a percentage of their income,
which to me, I don't know whether that's that's good
or bad. I don't know whether that helps anybody because
that that it feels like to me that it keeps

(52:31):
small clubs small, where at least with this you could
go out and you could spend a ton the one
season to get yourself going, and then if you made
money the next two years or if you whatever, then
you would never get you know, you wouldn't you would

(52:52):
never hit the uh AN issue, the PSR, and so
you you'd be fine. I mean, there are country there
are are teams like Leicester City, who's who's spent one
hundred million dollars or lost almost one hundred million dollars

(53:14):
every year for the last three years, and somehow, because
of whatever they do to to to you know, flip
the books around or whatever, they figured out how to
stay viable and not end up paying an extra tax
because they basically it's it's it's strange they lost too
much money, so they're gonna find them even more money,

(53:37):
or they're going to take points away from them in
in the season, so everybody gains either three points for
a win or one point for a tie, and so
they're going to deduct points from them. So it gets convoluted.

(53:57):
It gets convoluted quickly. One of the things that the
you know, just to bring it back to the US
and what's going on here, Uh, they the USL, there's
there's there's multiple leagues in the US. Even MLS, if
you don't follow, is the top league right now. USL

(54:19):
has been a league that has kind of gathered all
of the under leagues together. And what they're trying to
do is, uh is build a bigger league. And so
in twenty twenty six, twenty seven, they've applied to be
they've applied to have a top tier league with relegation

(54:42):
coming down. And so I think I don't know exactly
what they're what their their system is, whether like like
the MLS is a fully owned entity, kind of like
the NFL where they're all the owners, they own the
team per se. But if one of the teams wanted

(55:05):
to leave, like they couldn't just they couldn't just leave
the league and join another league like in an NFL.
It makes sense because there isn't really like I mean,
you could join a Russian league or you know, or
Australian football or Canadian football or something maybe. But at

(55:26):
the same time, you don't really own the team. The
league owns the team and that and so that's how
the MLS is, as you basically buy stewardship, you know,
a fake ownership in the team. I mean, they're paying
tons of money to buy into these teams anymore, and
to not one hundred percent own the team kind of.

(55:48):
I mean with baseball, at least at least you own,
you have ownership in the team and then everybody, you know,
it's a collective bargaining deal the owners and and things
like that. Where it's more, it still doesn't make sense
that you're gonna leave, I mean unless you're a minor
league team or something like that and you're trying to
move up or something levels and things. But I mean

(56:13):
they've got some independent leagues and stuff like that in baseball,
so it kind of mimics that a little bit, I think.
But in Europe, if you own the team and you
don't do well, you go down a level or you know,
they you can you can join you join different you know,

(56:35):
leagues and things of that nature. But they is it's
basically a tiered system, and so you know, yes, you
own the team. I don't. It's not as much of
a an entity as as the as the MLS, but

(56:55):
you know, that's where that's where we're at on it.
And so it went to USL. They want to start
a I think it's a seventeen league or twenty league
team or league right off the bat, and then they're
going to do a relegation setup. So I mean, just
think about, if you know, if it's kind of like

(57:20):
if Detroit Tigers weren't good enough this year to be
top or to be out of the bottom two or three,
they would go down and maybe the winners of the
lower league, maybe you know, somebody like Toledo or Columbus

(57:43):
or you know, Birmingham, you know somebody like that, or
Buffalo Strand would would move up and take that spot
and then they would have a major league team. The

(58:04):
thing that get that that makes sense in the UK
and doesn't make as much sense in in any you know,
in the non UK, is that in the UK you

(58:26):
literally have like Everton and Liverpool are from Liverpool, and
then you also have you know, other teams like Manchester
City and Manchester United and those guys are only like
twenty miles from Liverpool. Like all of your all of

(58:49):
your teams, which there's a lot of them. There's at
least twenty per league. And they've got five tiers. So
you've got maybe one hundred teams that are playing within
an area the size of Georgia and part of South
Carolina maybe, And I'm I'm I'm feeling like I'm giving

(59:10):
them some But you know that's that's the space of
the deal. Five six hours total to get to anywhere
in the league. And here, you know, you've got areas
where you couldn't drive in a day, Like I couldn't

(59:30):
drive from Washington, d C. To LA in barely a day.
I mean, I'm sure twenty two hours, twenty three hours,
it's maybe maybe it's doable. I don't I don't know.
I don't think it is because and think about it,
it's ten hours or so to Philadelphia from here and

(59:52):
to like it's like Phoenix, it's like nineteen hours if
you drove it straight, which is you can't do unless
you've got, like, I don't know, a two thousand mile
range vehicle and you'd have to stop at least and
get gas and stuff like that. But if you try

(01:00:12):
to drive nineteen hours, I mean I've done it once
and almost died, you know, almost didn't make it through
because of falling asleep and things. But five hour energies
and mountain dews and and all can only keep you
keep you so long. So but you know, that's that's

(01:00:37):
just you know, you just can't so so that that
makes it tough, especially if you know, like a team,
like a Columbus team went down and then you know,
then you were just you're no longer a major league team.
I mean, you're just that's that's with the deal. In England,

(01:01:01):
you know, a lot of your a lot of your teams,
though you know they still have a good you know,
they still have a good league underneath, Like the Champion League.
Champions League is probably as good, you know, it may
be a step above even the MLS. I mean that
just I would say, you know, some of the MLS

(01:01:23):
teams could could compete to a point in the Champions League,
but I would think that the Champions League overall is
a better league, and I and I think at the
same point in the MLS some of the teams could

(01:01:44):
could compete at the level of Premier League from time
to time, but I think at at the same point
they would struggle to stay in the league. The depth
in in the MLS is not as good. You don't
have backup players as much. And I mean one one thing,

(01:02:07):
one thing I will say, you know, just to just
kind of finishing it out, you know, relegation is cool.
USL will see how this goes over the next few years.
But USU seventeen's playing for US the u U seventeen
World Cup here next next year or twenty yeah, next year,

(01:02:34):
twenty twenty six. I mean, we just crushed the US
Virgin Islands twenty two to nothing, and like I looked
at the score and I'm like, wow, we didn't take
our foot off the gas at all. They do say
like there is a you know, part of the tie

(01:02:57):
is is gold differential. But then then one of the
players from the Columbus Crew, Columbus Crew two, his sixteen
year old kids, scored ten goals. And so that's why
I'm saying bringing a full circle here, you know, Optimism
is what I'd like to be. I'm pretty skeptical about

(01:03:17):
what is going to happen this season. I have a
tough time seeing this sixteen year old kid jump into
the MLS and do what Coucho Hernandez and Christian Ramirez

(01:03:39):
has done. But he is he is a strong, physical
center forward that we you know, we honestly haven't had
for a while. I mean, Cucho was strong and he
could get you, but he was He's that guy that
makes the play. He's the guy that steps back a
little bit, holds it up, keeps you know, keep moves

(01:04:02):
the ball around. He has you know, close to as
many assists as he does goals. He's just part of everything,
and this kid is not not as much part of
everything as he is. Kind of that sent you know,
that central guy that kind of holds up the crowd,

(01:04:23):
holds up the back line and keeps them, keeps them legit.
He's fast, he's he's already six foot tall at sixteen,
so he's got a couple more years to you know,
grow those those couple more inches that gets you know,
gets you to big, imposing forward and honestly, you know,

(01:04:56):
excitement for the twenty you know, the twenty World Cup
and uh, you know the U seventeens. They're exciting. I mean,
they're they're they're stepping on the backs of of these
guys that we call already the Golden generation. And and
you know, watch out, you know, Pachettino gets in there

(01:05:19):
and gives us a a a tough you know, the
American outlook. You know, Argentinians, they they have a a
level that they they play at. They have a swagger
to what the to how they play, and uh, you know,

(01:05:42):
we get some of that swager, We get some of
that back because we at one point we played with
so much swagger. We didn't but we didn't have the
skill level to really keep ourselves in that and uh
and that was it. So that being said, you know

(01:06:03):
we uh, we're just we're just keeping that, keeping that real.
So again, a new new break coming on. Thanks for
kind of putting up with the hooliganism. You know, we like,
you know, this is just an exercise in hooliganism. We're
just kind of starting this out. This will get better,

(01:06:24):
hopefully it doesn't get worse. But you know, it's just
fun for me. I like to talk about soccer, and
I want to talk about the ten goals that a
Columbus crew player just scored and hopefully we see him
at least score goals and Crew two and keep things going.
I mean, just keep progressing. I hate to like get

(01:06:45):
excited about players. I mean it's in any sport. You
get excited about this kid, this phenom, and then you
push him so hard, and then all of a sudden
they don't pan out or they don't get to the level.
I mean, I feel like, you know, if you're if
you're a sock fan, if you followed soccer in any way,
you know, Ronaldinho is one of those like stereotypical, like

(01:07:06):
didn't you know he was great? I mean, like he
was a phenomenal player, don't get me wrong, but he
wasn't as big as Ronaldo number ten Brazilian Ronaldo, where
you know he just scored and scored and scored and
scored and scored and scored and scored. You know, he
wasn't like his footwork was phenomenal, Like he could juggle,

(01:07:31):
he could do like he had this like just ability.
But honestly, when it came down to like doing all
of the work you had to do to stay fit,
to stay you know, just in top level for a
long period of time, you don't want to do it.
He wanted to live life and you know, you can

(01:07:52):
ask You can probably ask Christian or Ronaldo, you can
ask Messi. You know, you can ask even even some
of the or the older guys like Pele and those guys,
which you can't ask Pele anymore because he's gone. But
if you ask them, what did they give up to
be in physical shape? That's Tom Brady. What's he giving

(01:08:13):
up to be in that physical shape for that long?
You can I mean even you watched the documentary on
Michael Jordan, you know what did you give up? He
gave up a lot of life to be the greatest,
to be working, to work that hard. You know, they
said he you know, he had to stay in hotel

(01:08:33):
rooms and be there because he was so popular, he
was so so big, and uh, you know Bernardino, he said,
I he alway said I want to live life. He
wanted to you know, he was. He enjoyed where he
was at. He still plays, He still enjoys being a
soccer player, and he still enjoys the game. But he
enjoys the game. And uh, where he where he ended

(01:08:57):
up is is good for him. I mean a balling
and and all of that. You know, he was excited
about it. He didn't have to win more than that,
and not that he didn't win, but not he just
he didn't have to win any more than he did
to feel fulfilled, and he didn't. You know, It's just

(01:09:20):
where he was at. So with that, this is the
end of our live show. If you want to follow

part of that. All right, we're back with the overtime. Here,
got a couple of quick articles. This is this is

(01:11:36):
where I kind of part way from from the mainstream news,
the big time news. You know, just it has been fun,
it's been real, but is now time to just lighten
things up a little bit. So on in sky news
man who lost six hundred million pounds in bitcoin considers

(01:12:02):
buying a landfill site to search for it. So after
a legal battle, he tried to sue the council in England.
This is all in in the UK. Try to sue
the legal council in the UK and he lost. They
they said no, they couldn't shut down the landfill for

(01:12:24):
so many days for a search. From twenty thirteen, he
claims that his ex girlfriend mistakenly threw out a hard
drive containing thousands of bitcoins in twenty thirteen. With that
he then went onto He's been in a legal battle.
This landfill is about eighty to ninety percent full. He

(01:12:44):
figured over the next few years they were going to
close and cap the site, and that if he just
went in for a few days or went in for
a little for a month or so, they could just
close down whatever. Well, they said no, they could not
close down in a heart production for that it would
have a huge detrimental impact on the people of Newport Wilson.

(01:13:07):
At the same time, now they're planning on closing it
down here in twenty twenty five to twenty twenty six
financial year, and so with that they're closing it down now.
So he's asked. He's searching with his management group or
his investor group to see what they can do about

(01:13:30):
buying the landfill. The judge said he threw the case out.
He said that they have no realistic prospect of succeeding
of finding the actual hard drive. Plus, this hard drive
has been in the ground somewhere in a pile of
rubble since twenty thirteen. That means it's probably not a

(01:13:58):
solid state drive. It's one of those disk drives. It's
got if you've ever opened up what it's got a
little little film disk inside or a bunch of little
film disks inside. You're wanting that to go through eleven years,
twelve years by the time to get to be be sustainable,

(01:14:18):
to be able to work in this in the sludge
that a landfill normally creates. I mean, there's no way.
Like Also, how is his bitcoin wallet not somewhere? Like?
Does he not? He just doesn't know his bitcoin somewhere

(01:14:41):
six hundred million somewhere six hundred million dollars worth of
bitcoin is just chilling six hundred million million dollars in
bitcoin divide A BUYE. Let's say this was he's got
like ten thousand bitcoin sitting somewhere, which is probably worth

(01:15:01):
closer to about nine hundred million dollars in bitcoin now
because bitcoin's around the ninety buck mark. I think I
haven't checked a bitcoin today. Let's go see what it
says real quick. It wants me to sign in, So
ninety six thousand dollars for bitcoin to day, so he's
almost worth a trillion dollar or a billion dollars in

(01:15:25):
bitcoin sitting in the ground. I mean, honestly, if you
could find it and he could get in to it
and prove that it's his. Otherwise there is always going
to be somewhere around ten thousand coins that just sitting there,
never flew, never liquid anymore. And I mean, I guess

(01:15:45):
that's kind of prestige of bitcoin, is that it's like gold.
If you lose it, if you drop it, if you
you know you can't can't find it anymore, then it's
it's gone and gone forever or whatnot, and you're you're
in a in the lurch. So I guess you're one
of those deals where you don't want to be that guy.
You know that you know that guy ten thousand coins,

(01:16:09):
I mean ten thousand coins, even back when you're talking
about hundred thousand dollars or a million dollar investments. I mean,
unless he bought it when it was like nothing, you know,
ten thousand coins, forty forty coins. I was talking about
buying forty coins, you know, back when it was forty bucks,
you know, one hundred coins or something like that, and

(01:16:30):
just spending four thousand, you know, just spending some money
on it, just buying a chunk of it and holding
on to it, even something like that. Had I bought
let's say I splurged and bought one hundred coins at
forty bucks, would have been four thousand dollars one hundred
coins times ninety six thousand right now. I mean I'd

(01:16:53):
be okay with that nine point six million. I would
have sold it a long time ago, though, just to
be honest with you, when it got to ten or
twenty thousand, I probably if I saw the saw it
getting ready to drop or whatever, I would have sold off.
Just to be honest, I'd have taken twenty or thirty
thousand dollars for nine million dollars of coins right now.

(01:17:14):
I mean, that's just this, honestly, is just where at
one point, that's where that's you know that would have
kept my business going for a couple of months or
a couple of you know, yeah, a couple of months
at least, you know, with the food truck. We would
have prepared the truck and things of that nature, so
it would have been gone. I wouldn't have nine million
dollars for the coins, but that's you know, I did

(01:17:34):
see it when it was forty bucks and said, let's
let's do this. And I'm one of those guys that
you know, tells the big fish story, just like the
one that got away, and this is the one that
got away. That's uh, that's that's the sad, sad state
for me. So so anyhow, let's go on to the
next one bitcoin guy. He's talking about buying the landfill,
but they still haven't even approved that yet. An Australian

(01:17:57):
politician decided to change his name to He changed his
name for real, like legally changed his name to align himself.
And this is what was what was funny to me.
He changed his name to align himself. And the article
says he changed his name to align himself with the
former president. This was put out like a week ago.

(01:18:21):
This article was put out a week ago, and it's
still accept Trump as the president. I guess. I don't
know whether it's just a slip or what, but even
align himself with the former president. Well and maybe and
maybe he did it before before he was the president.
Maybe it's just now he's just just coming becoming popular.
As as his name is AUSSI Trump, I mean, it

(01:18:42):
doesn't seem like the most like viable name, but whatever.
I mean, people do stupid things for worst reasons, I guess.
So one of the other crazy articles, Let's see if
I can find it here. Okay, I got that on
my computer. Here, let me click over. So real life,

(01:19:03):
modern day Jonah dude's kayaking in Chile, well off of
the coast of Chile, twenty four year old, and he
was he was swallowed by a humpback whale. Basically he's
just kayaking along in his yellow kayak and with his

(01:19:25):
dad and somehow whale mistakens him and basically comes up
and swallows him whole. He said. Luckily, the whale released
him after a few seconds. The camera caplic captured his
father telling him to stay calm. He said that he
felt like he was I mean, he was worried that

(01:19:46):
he would perish. Uh, and then he was also he
was spit into the water, so then he was worried
he was going to freeze to death. And he was
scared that his dad might get swallowed up too by
the whale of the whale might knock him off, or
something would happen before they got there. But yeah, dude, like,
look at this guy's you know, dude needs to look

(01:20:07):
at his life, think about if God's been telling him something,
if he's been he's gone through anything. You know, this
is this is your wake up call. Man. Maybe you
weren't supposed to be kayaking too Chili, maybe you were
supposed to be going to Peru. I'm just saying, figure
out where God told you to be and then get

(01:20:28):
there because this is this has happened before and it
ended up turning out okay for that dude also, but
that's mainly because he listened to God. So I'm just saying,
modern day, if you ever, if you, if you ever
questioned the validity of whether a man could be swallowed

(01:20:50):
by a whale, boom, you've been proved it right now, Like,
without a shadow of doubt, this guy's been swallowed, been
in the mouth, you got spit back out luckily for him.
