This is 0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:10.520 the show that makes the squares sharper. 0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:13.760 And makes the wives. Guys pay attention. I am Chadmilmane 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:14.160 I enjoyed. 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.880 Guys, always buy. My co host might be Ff, my companion, my. 0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:27.240 Confadre professional better Simon Hunter. Hello, Simon, Hello Chad guy. 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:33.919 I'm sick. I'm honestly sick for you. You obviously, as 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:38.080 our listeners know, you were born in England. You spent 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:43.240 ten years living there. You are a passionate, passionate football 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.560 fan for both sides. 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:46.920 Of the pond. 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:54.720 You love this England football team, the Three Lions. My family, 0:00:54.800 --> 0:01:01.800 we've adopted this team. That was excruciating. As someone who's 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.800 become a Socrate expert in the past four months, I 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:11.199 can't even imagine what it means like speak speak your truth. 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.440 For the record, I was born in America. I'm an 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.080 American citizen. I was born in Miami. I have a passport. 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:22.240 Please don't deport. It was horrible, but I told you 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:23.160 this two months ago. 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:23.520 Chad. 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.800 This is the only way it ends. Yes, and this 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.360 is why I don't put money into them. I never 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:33.640 bet their futures. We'll always have sixty six. But it 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:35.520 doesn't matter if we have the most talent in the world. 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:37.880 It's a cultural thing. That's why I try to beat 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.759 in people's brains before this whole thing started, there's it's 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:44.160 all culture. World Cup doesn't matter about the skill. The 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.920 skill does matter in some aspects, but it's the culture 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:51.200 and the mentality. And you know, in England, the way 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.760 we're raised is this, this is coming home. But in 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.520 our mentality is always the guys can't live in the moment. 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.600 And you saw that in the game, right they scored 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.520 the goal. They wanted to prevent defense and it was 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.360 only a matter of time. And Argentina, you know, they 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:08.720 might not have the best players, the best team, but 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:12.000 they believe in their leader Messi. They love Messy with 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.600 such passion and I mean every game they come from behind. 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.880 It's incredible what Argentina has done where it's like they 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.440 don't have the skill, they have the belief and they 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.799 have you know, one of the best goal scorers ever 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:23.440 play the game. 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:24.680 So it just keeps happening. 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:28.600 But yeah, yesterday, it's I mean, you know, the feeling 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.560 right when your team loses, you kind of just sit there. 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.760 You have the whole what the hell just happened? Then 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.560 you have anger and blame. And then I woke up 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:37.720 this morning I felt. 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.080 A little better, just a little better where it's like 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:40.799 it was it. 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.960 It was such a fun run. I love Harry, love 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.560 the boys, loved Jude. It just sucks that it's over. 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.040 And you know, people ask, why do they play a 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.399 third place game? How stupid is this? It's a big deal. 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.320 It's a big deal to be even if you don't 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.360 think it is. To be the third or fourth place 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.840 team in the World Cup, it does matter. So I'm 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.639 not shock they're going to keep playing this out in Yeah, 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.080 I'm I'm not as her as I was yesterday. I 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:09.680 was honestly unconsolable yesterday. I'm just I just can't believe it. 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.200 I really really believe we're going to win that game. 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.480 And yeah, MESSI MESSI had plans for other things. 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:20.000 It was excruciating to watch. It was excruciating to see 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:26.280 the tactics immediately change and for this team from England 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:30.160 to go into some kind of prevent and it took 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.440 all the spirit and energy and joy that we've seen 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.800 them playing with for the past month out of their game, 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.400 and it's almost like they didn't they didn't know who 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:43.280 they were anymore. And it also felt like it just 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:49.760 played exactly into Argentina's hands, which now was untethered to 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.720 play exactly the way they. 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:58.440 Wanted to play. The whole time. You felt like. 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.360 England knew they were going to lose that game and 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.000 was just trying to keep it as close as they 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.960 possibly could. That's what I felt like after they scored. 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:06.840 It's true. 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.960 That's why it's as a fan of England, It's like, 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:12.640 I like that mixer game. I couldn't believe they won 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.400 that game because that would have been on brand to 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:15.040 lose that game. 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.560 So it's that's what sticks is. I kept believing. 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.480 I kept getting sucked in and yeah, they ticked that 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:22.440 one goal lead. 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.200 It's okay, okay, all we. 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:27.040 Need is one more and this is ours and like 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:30.400 you said, they just started playing back. You know, you 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.600 only could do so much when you're putting nine men 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.280 in the box. It's it's just a matter of time, right. 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.960 It's the perfect cross with the perfect header that's going 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.840 to capitalize a perfect shot from eighteen yards out. That's 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:43.479 going to go in. The goalie played out of his 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:47.640 mind for England. Yeah, they just the manager, the team, everyone. 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.000 I hate the way they played. They turtled at the end, 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:54.320 and you know, life, you can't live with regret. How 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:55.760 can you not live with regret if you're one of 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:56.960 those players the rest of your life. 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:58.760 It was there, you could feel it. 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:03.760 You're ten minutes away from going to the finals, and yeah, 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.320 it's it's a little surreal. And Matt Mitchell, like you 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.680 said it best, the whole Buffalo Bill thing. That's why 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:12.800 I try to crush them too much. Bill's fans for 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.279 their love of Josh Allen. I love them too, But 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.960 my god, does it hurt you when you start believing 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.200 in the playoffs and your quarterback of your team lets 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:21.560 you down. 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.200 That's how I felt with England. 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.840 It's just I really started believing and they just they 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.440 totally let us down. So I'm gonna keep repid it 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.200 excited for the third place game. But Chad, it is 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:32.559 in fact and not coming home. 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:40.520 Daily Mirror headline heard around the world, Harry Kane backpage 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.760 Caine not able. 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:45.520 Let's bring in. 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.560 One of our favorite guests, because now we've had a 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:53.120 month of worldwide soccer thrills and chills. There's only one 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:57.240 match left, the final for the FIFA World Cup twenty 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.920 twenty six between Spain and Argentina. It's Sunday, a three 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:05.480 pm Eastern in the Meadowlands. We're gonna bring in a 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:09.559 guy friend of the show, a man who hates weather, 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:14.599 a man who believes all NFL games should be played 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:15.719 in domes. 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:21.320 Mister Tony Debonado. 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.320 So you did have a conversation with Leebov recently. 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:30.240 For people who have listened to the show, know that 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:33.400 Mike Leboff who worked with me and Simon, and of 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:37.000 course this is Anthony Debundo, formerly of Action Network, now 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:41.560 of The Ringer, and Mike Leeboff, who covers hockey, covered 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.520 hockey for Action and is now the gambling writer at 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:48.320 the New York Post. The Action Network diaspora is everywhere 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:54.840 we are, and Leeboff and Anthony are in a text 0:06:54.880 --> 0:07:00.560 chain with a bunch of Leeboff's Long Island gambling scumback buddies, 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:04.640 and one of them cannot get Anthony Debundo's name right, 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:06.760 so he calls him Tony Debonado. 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:08.600 And so Leebov called me, and. 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.720 We were just bullshitting and Leboff calls like every four 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.360 to six weeks. Yep, it's like you're every time he 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.320 Lebov calls, it's like you're you're starting the conversation in 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.640 the middle. And what I love about lebof is he's 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:21.000 one of the few people who calls. 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.360 He doesn't need anything. He's just calling to say hi. 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.520 Yeah, and you had. 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.400 Just been on the show, I think, and we were. 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.080 He was saying, oh yeah, Tony Debonado. 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.360 Uh. Anthony called me. 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.720 At halftime of the game yesterday. I didn't pick up though. 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:36.120 No. 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.440 Now there He's just fucking with you. He wants to 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:42.520 see how how far your friendship can go. Anthony. We 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.760 want to get to the Spain Argentina final. We want 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.160 to give out a brass Balls Better the Week presented 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:51.680 by hard Rock Bet on this game. I'm like Simon 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.440 after the Mexico game for England. I was all in 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:56.880 on England and then they scored that call. I'm like, 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.440 this team is different. They're not going to fade, they're 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.040 not going to check. And then it's almost like the 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.480 switch went on and they were the Manchurian candidates and 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:09.040 they were required to choke what was your take on 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.960 what happened in the final thirty five minutes of that game. 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:16.600 Thomas Tuckle lied he deceived us. The first game of 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.200 the tournament, England went up three to two on Croatia 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.960 and they kept attacking and Tuckle gave this big halftime 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.600 speech where he said, if we're gonna lose, we're gonna 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.040 lose playing our way. We're gonna be aggressive, We're gonna 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.960 play on the front foot. Everybody was just singing the 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:36.800 praises of England after that first game, and I bought 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:38.679 into it. I was like, this team is talented enough 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:39.920 to win it all. I picked him to make the 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.520 final and I was like, you know what, they could 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.199 do it. And then right before Mexico they were ten 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:46.760 to one and I was like, I don't know, Like 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.480 I think the market's overrating Mexico. I think they can 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.960 survive this. This team is different and you could understand, 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.360 like we're gonna bunker in against Mexico. We have ten men, 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.960 we'd gotten a red card, kind of the best way 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:03.079 to play. But to do it against Argentina, did let 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.720 Messi just have the ball right outside the penalty area 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:07.720 and then hope that what he's not going to eventually 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:11.080 have it as sister too. Was crazy. It was ridiculous. 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.679 We all saw it happening. They completed, they had what 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.400 twelve percent of the possession after they scored the goal. 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.959 It's ridiculous for a team like England, who was better 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:22.240 than Argentina at full strength when they were going for it. 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:26.720 So look, I understand why they did it. It never 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:30.840 made sense, it never was going to work, and they 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.880 paid the price. And I will say I've enjoyed listening 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.840 to British talk radio the last last twenty four hours. 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.800 It's been a joy. 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:45.160 How would you compare it to Philly, Boston, New York. 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:49.160 It's the same thing, just with great accents, and it 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:50.880 does feel more personal for the Brits. 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:52.000 I was going to say, I. 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:55.080 Actually feel like there's a little bit of a little 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.640 it's performative in New York and Philly and Boston, like 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.840 they feel that they love it, but they also know 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:03.880 they're doing it because that's their job. 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:05.640 I feel like. 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:09.560 In England, when England loses, this is why I wanted 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.560 England to win or lose. To be honest, you guys, 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:15.560 I like Simon, we talked about this. I am so 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:20.000 in love with social media fan reaction videos, the fan 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:23.559 reaction videos. I just wanted England fan reaction videos if 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:27.400 they won, and the fan reaction videos of them losing it. 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.640 I mean, it's it's such good drama. But I do 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.120 feel like English fans feel it in a way that 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:37.000 is different and English radio personalities feel it in a 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:38.560 way that is different. 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.600 Simon, I think it's one hundred. There are a hundred. 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:42.680 They're all stephen A. Smiths. 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.240 It's a hundred times worse in my opinion than America 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.880 sports media. Like they beat Norway, Chad, they talked about 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.520 the head coach say it's an hour show. They did 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.439 five minutes on the win, five minutes on Harry, five 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:56.480 minutes on June, then forty five minutes on the head 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.680 coach of England because of them remarks he made after 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.120 the game saying the guys didn't play well, and they 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.560 debated if he should do that in house, clubhouse or 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.000 outside to the media. Forty five minutes. If they just 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.240 beat Norway, their media is the worst. They've always been 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:14.320 the worst. I guess it's all culture, though I cannot 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.600 stand a million things about British culture. The biggest one 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.840 is how they treat and talk about their sports athletes, 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.880 how disrespectful they are to their sports athletes. Like Chat 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.920 doesn't even remember this. David Beckham basically had a World 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:30.559 Cup blunder. Yeah, the man had to leave the country, 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:34.400 Like because the media the fans are so mental in England, 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:36.760 where it's like, dude, you're a country of losers, you 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.120 have a once since sixty six, and now you're running 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.640 out your most famous player for your country. I told you, 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.000 I have a whole thing about England media. I can't 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:45.800 even get into it. I hate the way they are. 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.160 I think it's ruined the culture. It's why these players 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.120 get so tight in these games because they know they 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.600 will get judged. And I'm just really cued by everyone 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.160 and destroyed for the next four years if they can't 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.520 overcome and win these games and it gets to them and. 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.360 I hate it. It's like the worst thing in the 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:01.960 entire world. 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.520 I wish a sports psychologist could get their hands on 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.280 these soccer players just tell them it truly does not matter. 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.200 Like you control the outcome, the media does not control 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.240 the outcome. And like we said, you could see in 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:13.920 that second half just way on these players becu. As 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.440 they scored that goal, you could just see them playing 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.960 back on their heels and just being like, Okay, we 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.880 can't lose this, we can't lose this, and it's just 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:21.880 there's no way to play that. 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:23.760 You have to keep playing your stuff, keep attacking. 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.280 So yeah, I really can't hear what antets say about 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.600 the third place game because to me, it's like, is 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:30.840 there a. 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:31.960 Value on betting England? 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:32.200 No? 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.120 Isn't that the easiest fate of our lives? 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:39.000 Right born on France right now, it's like, my god, France, 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:40.440 at least they can own their laws. 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.840 Pissed off, Yeah, Frances, pissed off. England is devastated. 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:49.719 Yeah, well, before we get into it, Anthony, one of 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:54.160 Philly's finest. Uh, You've had a couple issues with your 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:58.000 car in Philly, and yesterday you posted another tragic picture. 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.880 Can you explain to people exactly what happened? 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.200 Yeah? So I live in Fishtown, which apparently is a 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:09.280 hotbed of car theft in Philadelphia, and I drive a 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:13.960 Honda Civic, which I know is a hotbed of targeted cars. Yea, 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.760 So everybody has Hondas all over They're very easy to sell. 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:22.920 The parts. So last year in August, actually the wheels 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:26.600 were stolen off my car. Now this was annoying, but 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.720 really ultimately it was more of a funny story than 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.520 like a tragedy. Insurance covers it. They literally have a 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.240 company that they contract. It's like a pit crew that 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.000 comes and puts new wheels on your car where it's parked. 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.600 So it was like a one day hiccup. I didn't 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:41.079 have a car. I didn't need my car that day. 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:45.679 Ha ha ha, funny story to tell. So yesterday or sorry, Monday, 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.800 I parked my car on the street around the corner 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:50.640 from my apartment where I park it all the time, 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.600 with no issue. And on Tuesday I took the train 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.640 down to Citizens Bank Park to go to the All 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.600 Star Game. Now it's about ten minutes before the game 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.160 is about to start and I get a phone call 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:05.280 from a guy saying, Hey, are you the owner of 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.960 the gray Honda Civic license plate? Blah blah blah. We 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.240 have your car. We found it on the street. I'm 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:16.160 like where, He said, Port Richmond. I said, oh, that's 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:19.040 not where my car was parked. I said, I left 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.520 it in Fishtown yesterday and he said, well, it's missing 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.120 all four wheels, and somebody did a number on the 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.480 steering column, like they got into the car. They obviously 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.520 hot wired it, drove it away, stole the wheels, parked 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.360 it on the street, stripped all like the air bags, 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:38.680 the steering column, all that stuff, and then left it there. 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.880 And the Philadelphia Parking Authority, those great people that they are, 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.440 left a ticket on it too for parking it illegally. 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:46.400 No way it was left. 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.360 So I called the police and left the police report, 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:55.880 And now I'm dealing with like this towing company that 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.600 towed it to their lot, and now apparently like the 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.359 insurance company has to get the car from the lot, 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:04.480 and I have to get a rental because I have 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.000 to figure out if my car is told or not. 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.280 My car is only two years old, but they stole 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.960 so much from it, all the censors, the airbags, you know, 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.200 the wheels, that like it might just be total. Even 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.000 though again I bought the car in October of twenty 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.360 twenty four, so it's been a hell of a ride. 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.440 And this one is actually really really annoying because now 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.240 I don't have a car and I have to deal 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.440 with all this madness when we're trying to enjoy the 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.360 World Cup chat. I'm too busy to be to be 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:28.600 dealing with all this chaos. 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:29.640 So who called you? 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:34.680 The guy who found the car, just like some random 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.760 dude found for a towing company. Okay, I'm sure he 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.040 was like driving around the city and was like, oh, 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.760 here's an opportunity. Like this guy's car is obviously not 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.880 mobile without wheels on it in the middle of the street. 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.200 Let's call him and try to see if we can 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.120 tow it to our yard and then you know, insurance 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.560 will pay us to you know, to do the toe. 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.360 So this guy saw a business opportunity. It is funny 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.120 like these because like the same thing happened last year, Right, 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.000 So the four wheels get stolen off the car, and 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:03.440 when I go to the car the next day and 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:07.000 I see it, I'm like, oh shit, and some lovely 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.320 man from a towing company just left his business card 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.720 right on the window of the window just in case 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.720 I was feeling a little down. I'm starting to wonder 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:16.160 if these tow guys thrown in on it. 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.920 Well, that's what I'm saying, right, And we're getting. 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.880 This person that called me. They're like, you know, we've 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.200 seen this before. Where they work for the toe company. 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.680 They steal the car and they take the parts and 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.000 then they get money for the toe on the back end, 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.200 and it's like a racket. And I'm like, well, please investigate. 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.640 Happy to thank you, officer, Please do please find out 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.240 how this is happening, because you know, twice in a 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:41.360 year is tough. 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.520 It's tough, Simon. I don't even ever have my antenna 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:49.360 up for scams. But I feel like the guy calling 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.800 Anthony to say, hey, I found your car and oh, 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.280 by the way, I run a towing company. 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.480 That all feels very suspect now he. 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:00.200 Sent me his business card, But. 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:03.640 I agree with they're probably all in on it. And 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.760 it's why I always tell people I have a burner car. 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:08.960 I have a very nice car. I think Chad's the 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:10.960 only person I've ever taken my nice car into Philly with. 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.760 It's a nice because Philly is meant for the burner cars. 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.600 It doesn't matter if you're an old city or fish town. 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:17.240 That's the thing. 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.520 They'll they'll find it, they'll get you, especially if you're 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:21.800 an easy target kind of cars. 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.680 So yeah, Condo's and Accuras are the two that they're after. 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:26.840 And it's funny because when this happened last year, I 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.000 got like tweets from three or four other people in 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.280 all different neighborhoods of Philly, from like the nicest neighborhoods 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.040 to like the not as nice to all of them 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.200 were like, Yep, they got me too, they got me too. 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.240 They got this neighbor of mine last week. 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:38.760 Uh. 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:41.560 And my the person who lives upstairs for me, drives 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.080 an Accurate and they had their Accurate stolen and stripped 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:49.240 in a very similar manner last year. So clearly we're 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.040 the target. And if I have a new car, I 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:52.320 don't know that I'm gonna buy a Honda. 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:54.640 To be honest, this is good intel because my kid, 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.000 who just graduated from Drexel and is probably going to 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.240 stay in Philly and wants to move to Fishtown said 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:01.680 for graduation he wants a car. 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:03.440 I'm not by Amahonda. 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:04.919 I'm like, I don't know if we're gonna do that. 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:09.520 My recomndition super that are hooked up for the apps, 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.679 like I had a BMW that literally if my windows cracked, 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:15.360 I get an alert on my phone, let alone if 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.280 my car is in motion. So uh, they definitely have 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.280 come around the technology now where you can just track 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.919 your car all the movements, every little. 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:23.160 Thing like that. 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.560 And yeah, I'm like I said to people at time 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.200 that come to Philly. Philly has improved so much or 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:31.840 last ten to fifteen years. But every time I go 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:33.399 to the city, whether I'm in a parking garage or 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.439 if I'm parked on Front Street visiting my brother, someone's 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:38.320 gonna do my window in, Like doesn't matter if I 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.280 have left nothing out. If I come out in the 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.240 morning my windows broken in, They're just they're gonna break 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:44.600 it in. They're gonna go through your glove bucks, They're 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:46.760 gonna go through your center console. It's just the way 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:49.560 it is in most cities. I've been very lucky. I 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.600 feel terrif for Anthony like that talking about a headache, 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.120 like the whole dealing with all the bs where it's 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.919 like you were literally doing nothing. That's one of the 0:18:57.920 --> 0:18:59.959 worst parts of being alive right now, where it's like 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:02.240 we have so many people struggling. Who knows what we 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:05.000 are going through with that? That sounds like a racket 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.439 through this toning company. This is very very suspicious. The 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:09.440 fact that they called you brother. 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:10.800 I'm not gonna lie listen. 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:16.159 We still love Philly. We love Philly. We do, we do. 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.000 We've gotten distracted here I want to talk about Spader 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:19.439 Entrey Tea. 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:20.959
