1
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: Helping awake for about a minute and a half. So

2
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: my interview may need to ramp up a little. That's

3
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: why I've got my coffee.

4
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: Greg Greg Cody pre first cup of coffee in the

5
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: morning is a dangerous game, folks. Yeah, so you got

6
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: to get some coffee. Is not good for him?

7
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's medicinal, we need it. There you go, you

8
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about.

9
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 3: One of these mornings, I came on and I was

10
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 3: sipping my coffee and Stu gots go, so what are

11
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 3: you drinking at that coffee? It's no good for you?

12
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 3: And I'm like, this is the guy that rips heaters

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 3: and drinks six espressos again telling me my cup of

14
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 3: coffee isn't good for me.

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: I told him rag.

16
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 4: I told him this as I have had just gotten

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 4: out of Starbucks where I ordered two double espressos with

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 4: two sweet lows in each of them, of course, and

19
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 4: I threw down one and a half of those. They

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 4: know I was on three and a half shots of

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 4: espresso when I told them coffee is bad for you.

22
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: Just touched on a point that I need to make

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: this morning. Bring back the sweet and low people, Judge, No,

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: it's like it's been. It's the pink one is just

25
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: thought of as the least healthiest in this genre, and

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: I don't like it. It's the most tasty. Get these

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: blue packets. Get the equal out of here, Get the

28
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: pure sugar out of here. Give me that fake sweet

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: and low. Wait, get real sugar out of here too. No,

30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: give me the because sweet low apparently is the worst

31
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: for you. It's not like real sugar. It's like very

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: I don't know that. I don't know the science of.

33
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: It, but powder Billy, there are certain Starbucks that are

34
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 4: no longer. I don't know if it's happening in other establishments,

35
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 4: but they're no longer using sweet and low. Now, some

36
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 4: Starbucks still have it because they're stocked up for years, okay,

37
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 4: and they have.

38
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: To get rid of it and then they'll stop using it.

39
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: Buck Chris is right.

40
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 4: They have determined that sweet and low somehow all the

41
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 4: sweeteners is the unhealthiest, and therefore they they stop using it,

42
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: and they have.

43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: It like when they do have it, they have it

44
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: like behind and they give you a dirty look when

45
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 3: you have to ask you.

46
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Deli, I go, I go to this one Deli

47
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: probably three times a month and they have the equal

48
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: and the sugar on the table, the sweet and low.

49
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: You got to ask for it. You gotta say, give

50
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: me the good stuff, and they.

51
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: Give you like a you really want that?

52
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: And then they give me three.

53
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: And then they take ten minutes and come out and

54
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: give you two. They're like, this is all you get?

55
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: Which do you think you get judged?

56
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 5: More? For now at a coffee place, like if you're

57
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 5: if you ask for a straw, or if you ask

58
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 5: for a sweet and low, you're not a straw for

59
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 5: your coffee, but I ges straw, like if you have

60
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 5: an iced coffee or whatever.

61
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: Equal, I think it's a straw.

62
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: What happened to society?

63
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: What happens society? I have to admit, Christ, prove it.

64
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm one of the people you're railing against, because if

65
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: all I see are the pink packets, uh and no

66
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: blue packets, I will use regular sugar in the coffee

67
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: that morning. I do not like the pink packets. It's

68
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: just to me, it has a different taste that I

69
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: don't prefer. It's got nothing against the unhealthiest.

70
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 4: God knows with me. But what do you mean the

71
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 4: pink packets? You're not talking about sweet and love.

72
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah I am yeah, Yeah, I don't like eric.

73
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: There are ones that are fake. It's like, hey, this

74
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: is pink, just want you to think it's sweet low Like.

75
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 4: There are certain packets. I don't know what it's called, no,

76
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 4: but there are certain things it makes. It makes my

77
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 4: coffee or my espresso. It's almost got like an orangey flavor,

78
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 4: if that, If that makes sense.

79
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: And I don't blue.

80
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: There's yellow, there's white, and there's pink.

81
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

82
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: I don't know what they all mean, but that's what

83
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: you can get.

84
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think the yellow is a trouvia or something,

85
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: the one that doesn't.

86
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: Healthy one like my father in law, big truvia guy.

87
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 5: So wait, hold on a second. There's blue, there's yellow,

88
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 5: there's white, and there's pink. But one of them tastes orange.

89
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 4: Well, there's I think there's a few different yellows. I

90
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 4: believe Splendor's yellow, Stevie's yellow. Yes, they're both in the

91
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 4: yellow category.

92
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: Once again.

93
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: The yellow, once again, never really tasted an orange flavor

94
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 2: from any of these, though.

95
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: Stevia tried today. If you want to ruin your coffee,

96
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: I've never even heard of that one. I'm way beyond.

97
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 2: God bless football by the way.

98
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah football.

99
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: Look at us. And then there was two Well, actually

100
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: technically there's four teams left because they play a third

101
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: place game that doesn't count.

102
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, Greg got played a third place game.

103
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm wondering.

104
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 4: I wasn't excited about a third place game until I

105
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 4: posed the question to our show. The loser of the

106
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 4: AFC Championship game versus the loser of the NFC Championship

107
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 4: game is something I would absolutely watch, So.

108
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: That's fair, I guess. Yeah, I'm just wondering, from an

109
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: athlete standpoint, can you really get excited to play for

110
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: third place? You know? That's my I mean, viewing wise,

111
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: it might be Croatia versus Morocco based on how well

112
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: they both played in the semi finals. I could see

113
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: that being a good match. But the players are they

114
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: really into it or are they faking it?

115
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 2: To that point of my dad, the over is like

116
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 2: money in the bank. Historically in the third place game.

117
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: Because of my dad's point, people will care a little less.

118
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 2: The buses aren't parked as much. It's more it's like

119
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl game, like it's kind of just like, hey,

120
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: this doesn't really matter. Let's have some fun. Last World

121
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 2: Cup the under came in, but I believe outside of that,

122
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: it's like nine out of ten overs in the Wow game.

123
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: So you're thinking five to three or something crazy.

124
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: You know, maybe last year started a trend and they

125
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: might be under. But I'm just saying historically, the third

126
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: place game isn't over.

127
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: Chris, what is What is the total for that game?

128
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: Do we have?

129
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: Assuming two and a half, but let me let's.

130
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: Try to look it up.

131
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 4: That's a pretty loving that makes sense, right, Greg, Like

132
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 4: they would play a loser game, not as much defense,

133
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 4: just go out and have some fun.

134
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: That makes sense, right, And again it means nothing. It

135
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: could be. I also like the idea that A, maybe

136
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: you play some of your your second team players who

137
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: you're trying to develop for four years from now, and

138
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: b it is a swan song for certain great, all

139
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: time great players who are making their last bow on

140
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: a World Cup stage, even even if it's a consolation game.

141
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the over unders basically said it two and

142
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: a half On DraftKings. You can bet almost any over

143
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: under and just get the odds for it, But the

144
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 2: one that seems the most is two and a half.

145
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: It's minus one eighties under, so you're getting positive juice

146
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: on three goals scored plus one forty five over two

147
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 2: and a half. Oh, I'm an idiot. I was just

148
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: looking at the Argentina and France game.

149
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 5: Okay, well we were going to get there, so minus

150
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 5: one ten it's over under two and a half in

151
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 5: the other game is minus one ten.

152
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 4: Sorry, time att What is the over under in the

153
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 4: consolation game?

154
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: It's got to be it's gotta be a half. You

155
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: can bet it at three and a half, but then

156
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 2: your odds, like you get positive juice the one that

157
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: it's two and a half. They're both game.

158
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 5: Okay, this is confusing because the DraftKings gives you literally

159
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 5: you can bet over a half a goal over.

160
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: One and a half a flame.

161
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: DraftKings do that, Thank you DraftKings. Ye yeah, saying that,

162
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: it's hard to say what the actual one is because

163
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: they give you every option. But based on the odds,

164
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: it's two and a half goals for both games, that's

165
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: the most.

166
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: That's the over unders two and a half for both games.

167
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 1: Got it? Greg?

168
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 4: I don't know about you, but I think Chris brings

169
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 4: up an interesting theory, and so did you you expanded

170
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 4: on it, young players, old players saying goodbye game is

171
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 4: a bit more open. I think the under the over

172
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 4: excuse me on Saturday at two and a half goals

173
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 4: is a lock. Like I think that's that's a smart

174
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 4: bet right.

175
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: There, you know, yeah, I would think so, articularly for

176
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: the Yeah, for the consolation game for sure, and even

177
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: for the main stage game the France Argentina racked. Those

178
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: are two dynamic offensive teams. Now I don't know enough

179
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: about them to dissect their defense, but I know those

180
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: are Like, France was the highest scoring team in this

181
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: World Cup and the other has Messi. So two and

182
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: a half sounds like an over bet on that match

183
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: as well to me. Yeah, Greg, are you rooting for Messi? Here?

184
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: You know what, It's a dead even pickam game betting wise,

185
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: and I sort of feel like that in my heart.

186
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: You know, if I go to that match in a

187
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: bar or something to watch it, I would not wear

188
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: the jersey of either team, even if I had one,

189
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: because you know, I have French blood a little bit.

190
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: But I admire Messi so much. Imbape is a player

191
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: I genuinely want to watch and love to watch. So

192
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: there's so much about both of these teams. I won't

193
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: be sad no matter the result. I will be happy

194
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: for somebody.

195
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 2: All right. I looked it up. There's been nineteen third

196
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: place games in World Cup history. Yeah, fifteen have gone

197
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 2: over wow. Yeah, and a few of those were like

198
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: in the sixties, so like in the last since the seventies,

199
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: since seventy eight, only one has gone under.

200
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. I look at it like an NBA All Star game. Yeah,

201
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: where it's going to be one thirty five to one

202
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: thirty one.

203
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 4: Well, I'm surprised we're so low based on that, you know. Yeah,

204
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Billy, you say that again? That was so good.

205
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 5: That's a lot of goals. Is there a payoff or

206
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 5: something like it? Do you get something for finishing third

207
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 5: as opposed to fourth?

208
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: You must?

209
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 5: I mean are there medals? I mean there's a World

210
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 5: Cup trophy, but are there like silver medals or something?

211
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 5: What does the second place finisher get anything?

212
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 4: I feel like whenever you get for third place, you're

213
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 4: throw it away as you're walking out of the stadium.

214
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: I mean, if it's money, why would you throw that away?

215
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: Unless it's money? But if it's a trophy, I don't want.

216
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 5: It, so I actually read that when the US made

217
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 5: it out of the group stage because of their new arrangement,

218
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 5: the US women's team made it ton of money as well,

219
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 5: like the players made a ton of money. So I'm

220
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 5: assuming that there is a financial I mean, maybe it's

221
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 5: just the US has its set up that way, but

222
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 5: I'm assuming there's some sort of financial benefit for the

223
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 5: teams the further they advance. So third place must get

224
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 5: something as opposed to fourth. Right, I got it right here.

225
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: Team teams who went out of the group stage earn

226
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: nine million each. Teams who reached the Round to sixteen

227
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: gets thirteen million each. Teams who reached the corner final

228
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 2: get seventeen million each. Fourth place team, so that's the

229
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: loser of Croatia Morocco will get twenty five million. Third

230
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: so it's only a two million thing. They're planning for

231
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: two million dollars because third place gets twenty seven million

232
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: two million more. Runner up gets thirty million, winner gets

233
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: forty two million.

234
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: Here's a thought to ponder at the end of this

235
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: great weekend. There's a chance in my mind that the

236
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: winner of the consolation game feels better than the loser

237
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: of the championship game, because I think, if you know

238
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: how they always there's no team more anonymous than the

239
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: one that loses a Super Bowl. Like everybody you say

240
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: that you're anonymous if you lose a Super Bowl. But okay,

241
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: so I think Argentina or France at the end of

242
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: Sunday are going to feel worse for their performance in

243
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: the World Cup than the winner of the consolation game.

244
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 2: That's probably yeah.

245
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you what. Chris is looking at

246
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: you like you're crazy. I will I saw that look before.

247
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 2: So you've got Croatia. Let's say Croatia beats Morocco. You've

248
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 2: got Croatia, a Croatia feeling like they had a better

249
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: World Cup than Argentina if they lose in the final.

250
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 1: Hold on exactly right.

251
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 4: When you're one of these favorites, the deeper you go

252
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 4: without winning the actual World Cup, the worst it feels

253
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 4: once you lose. I mean one of these two teams,

254
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 4: one of these two teams is going to feel awful

255
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 4: on Sunday.

256
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: And I think Greg might be right.

257
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: I really, but he has to win the World Cup.

258
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: I get it. If he loses, it doesn't matter if

259
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 2: he came in. But he'd still be You've got him

260
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: happier with third, a third place, a second.

261
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're going out on a win.

262
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 5: I mean only two teams in the World Cup on

263
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,359
Speaker 5: a win, Chris, that's true.

264
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: There you go and the first place. That's right. And

265
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: if Messi loses this World Cup, getting this close, he's

266
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: gonna feel worse than any other athlete on earth.

267
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: Maybe for maybe to determine a real champion, there should

268
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 2: be another final where the winner of the third place

269
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: game and the first place get to play again.

270
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 5: No, I don't like that. Okay, it's more soccer. That's ridiculous.

271
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: That more soccer.

272
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: Greg I have a Now.

273
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about it in the NFL, like if that meant, hey,

274
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 4: the Chiefs play the Bills again.

275
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: Come down with that.

276
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 5: There you go, Greg, I have a request from you,

277
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 5: and this is a long term request, so we may

278
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 5: have to write it down to remember. But should Argentina

279
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 5: lose on Sunday, lose the World Cup final and then

280
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 5: Messi does come to enter Miami, I would like you

281
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 5: in one of the press conferences to ask him, would

282
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 5: you have preferred to have finished third in the World

283
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 5: Cup and guitar or second I'm serious.

284
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: You should That was great in all honesty, Guys.

285
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: No, Greg, do it like this.

286
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 4: If I told you you were going to lose in

287
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 4: the finals, would you rather have the opportunity to lose

288
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 4: in the finals or finish third in the consolation?

289
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, a swipbook like that.

290
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 5: I see that I may not be in Ask him

291
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 5: this way, Ask him this way. Say would you, given

292
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 5: the option, would you have liked to have win the

293
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 5: last game that you played in the World Cup, even

294
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 5: if it meant.

295
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 2: You finished third?

296
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 5: Or would you have liked to have lost the game

297
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 5: meaning you finished second?

298
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 2: Can you make sure to do one of those things

299
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: at the beginning? Like this is Greg Cody with the

300
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: Miami Heralds. Yeah you have to do that?

301
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah?

302
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: Can I I can't promise, Billy that I will ask

303
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: that question.

304
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 5: Can you ask you what the intro of this is

305
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 5: Greg Cody of the Greg Cody Show with Greg Cody.

306
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how you started.

307
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: Maybe you drop the dan line you say, I'm not

308
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 2: telling you how to think. I'm just asking you if

309
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: you'd like to.

310
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 5: This is Greg Cody with something to Ponder. I'm not

311
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 5: telling you how to think. I'm just asking if you

312
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 5: want to lion know and then you hit him with

313
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 5: the question I'm.

314
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 4: In the world where Messi lashes out at you, Greg,

315
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 4: What a stupid question.

316
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: You're a fucking moron. What you would get on that podcast,

317
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. Yeah, hey, say, I'm warming up to

318
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: this idea, all right, I'm in dad.

319
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: I was talking to a friend last night and he

320
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: said that he's rooting against Messi in the final because

321
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: he thinks that it's impossible for Messi to win the

322
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 2: World Cup and then join the MLS. That him winning

323
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: the World Cup would push off his potential inner Miami.

324
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: It's just speculating. It's just speculation because he he would

325
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: be rejuvenated in like the you know, because yours. If

326
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: you come to the MLS as Messi, you're taking a

327
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: step down in competition. And it's just I don't The

328
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: guy was speculating that if he wins a World Cup,

329
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: he's less likely to like.

330
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 5: What's your friend's name, Doug, Doug, Okay, so we'll just

331
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 5: talk about Doug, Doug.

332
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 2: My friend Doug. He was just asking the question and

333
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: I was like, actually, that's a good.

334
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 5: I don't know if I should be rooting against Messi

335
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 5: in the final as an Inner Miami fan, like, do

336
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 5: you think that that there's any correlation between winning or

337
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 5: losing this final and him coming to Inner mind?

338
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: I do think this, and what I think is it

339
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: would be exaggerated. If he does win his first World Cup.

340
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: Messi right now is amazingly for his age, at the

341
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: top of his game. I mean, I don't see much

342
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: decline at all. And maybe they're asking him to do less,

343
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: maybe they're asking him to defend less or what have you.

344
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: But he is still at the top of his game,

345
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: and I do think if he wins the World Cup,

346
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: part of him says, why am I relegating myself? Why

347
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: am I going to my retirement home when I have

348
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: maybe two more seasons?

349
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: So you agree with Doug.

350
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm sort of coming around to Doug's way.

351
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: Doug's right, So Inner Miami fans should be rooting for

352
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: France on Sunday.

353
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: Hmm, wow, Yeah, I can be a Doug.

354
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 5: So if Doug is right and Messi comes here, you

355
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 5: should ask your second question after your first question. Greg

356
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 5: should be so before the final, Doug said, then you

357
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 5: tell him what Doug said, yeah, and just be.

358
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: Like bring Doug along and let him ask.

359
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 5: That's actually a good that's a good idea too, because

360
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 5: I was going to say, just to ask, was Doug

361
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 5: Wright had you one would you have not come to

362
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 5: enter Miami, but you could bring Doug along?

363
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: And dougle asked the question. Tell you, guys, I want

364
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: to give you. I want to give you guys some

365
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: Doug bona fides right now, and we get to Doug

366
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: on the zoom right now, Billy, we have to bleep

367
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: this out, but it'll be funny to the audience. Thanks,

368
00:16:54,080 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: he's the Oh oh real, Billy, can we beleeve? We

369
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: need to bleep all this because I didn't ask him

370
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 2: for like, to reveal this information.

371
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: So like, you know, if I asked that first question

372
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: of MESSI, they won't let me ask a second question.

373
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 5: Oh no, I know, like that will be probably your

374
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 5: last question you'll ever ask.

375
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe make it one long question.

376
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, just say I got a two parter and then

377
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 5: athletes those long questions. They can't take your mic away

378
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 5: from you while you're asking. So I got I got

379
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 5: a two parter.

380
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: Pork two is from Doug.

381
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: I'm imagining like Miami heat style. I'm having like those

382
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: long mics that they're putting in front of your face,

383
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 2: just grab onto it. So yeah, exactly, there you go.

384
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: It's the gag.

385
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: I got you, I got you covered.

386
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: Can Doug come on and ask questions or no, No,

387
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: it's fine. I don't know.

388
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: Adonna's would be very jealous of that.

389
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: That is true.

390
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: Back.

391
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 5: I imagine it's hard for you guys to book a

392
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 5: Donna's now after a Donna's got love that he was getting.

393
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: Celebrity handy man.

394
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 4: Reg and Chris, I ask you this because you are

395
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 4: of the five of us, you two care about the

396
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 4: sport the most. And I am I'm actually excited because

397
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 4: I'm excited because I can see the storylines and how

398
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 4: interesting they are with this particular final where generational team

399
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 4: versus generational player, maybe the greatest soccer player ever trying

400
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 4: to win the game's biggest tournament, And so I am

401
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 4: excited for the first time, and so I am excited

402
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 4: for that. And both of you predicted this exact final,

403
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 4: by the way, I will have you now okay, and

404
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 4: only one soccer podcast had the two losing teams playing

405
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 4: for third place, which is a better feeling than coming

406
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 4: in second place.

407
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: According to Grand Coady.

408
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 4: Only this podcast had those two teams in the semi finals. Okay,

409
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 4: and so we've done very well in the audience loves it.

410
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 4: But to be serious for just a moment, this is

411
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 4: the final that most soccer fan, true soccer fans, This

412
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 4: is the one they cover it, this is the one

413
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 4: they crave, right.

414
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: I think, with the exception of the entire country of

415
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: Brazil disagreeing with you.

416
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 2: In Germany, four teams of the final fourteen.

417
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, one hundred picking.

418
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: Tournaments in the teams in the entire tournament. I don't

419
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: know if this is the preemptive final, but it's France

420
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 2: is the top are I think Messi getting there this

421
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 2: year with it being his final, is the team that

422
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 2: they would have wanted Number one.

423
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't beat that storyline Messi going for his final,

424
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: his first World Cup. But in second place is the

425
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: storyline of France trying to become the first back to

426
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: back winter since nineteen fifty eight. In nineteen sixty two,

427
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: and that was Pele. That was Pele's Brazil and now

428
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: you've got Killian Mbappe. One of his nicknames is the

429
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: new Pele. He's twenty three years old. He's just coming

430
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: in his superstardom on this world stage. Uh, contrasting against

431
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: Messi in the still vibrant winner of his all time

432
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: great career. You cannot beat this. Now. I'm rapetizing. I said,

433
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: I'm turning into Ray Hudson. But the idea of Messi

434
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: and and Bope on the same field is soccer magic

435
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: right now? Football magic?

436
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: You say Pele weird?

437
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: Pele pla pelee? Yeah? What did I say?

438
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: I think it's Pele?

439
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: Well play? You say Tomato? I say Tomato? Am I right? Named? Tomato?

440
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: Would be good? You would be all right? Yeah? Listen,

441
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: that is Chris.

442
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 4: That's as excited as I've heard your dad about anything

443
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 4: like four years.

444
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: Man, he is the game. You know what, if it's generally,

445
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: if it's not a US match, I'm not, you know,

446
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: going to a bar and cheering and trying to be

447
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: with an ambient, trying to be with a real atmosphere.

448
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: But for this final, Messi versus Mbope, it's it's just

449
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 1: a sterling. It's far worthy, huh, sports bar worthy. I mean,

450
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward.

451
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 2: I feel like any World Cup final an excuse for

452
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 2: a ten am beer.

453
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean come on, well at ten am, a bloody Mary,

454
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: you know what do you take me for? I'm not

455
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: going to drink beer at ten am? Come on.

456
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 4: It's also scheduled perfectly because you have Saturday night football NFL.

457
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 4: Then you have a little Sunday morning World Cup final

458
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 4: headed right into Sunday afternoon football.

459
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: It's pretty nice. Oh yeah, it's O a weekend we got. Yeah,

460
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: if you football.

461
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 4: In the middle of f O Chris, where would you

462
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 4: send the over under on amount of beers your dad

463
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 4: drinks this weekend?

464
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: Well, I'm saying twenty one and a half. I go over.

465
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: Frighteningly. That's a pretty accurate over under.

466
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 4: Wait, Greg, if you ask, I'm not certain what your

467
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 4: response is going to be here. I'm not certain what

468
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 4: Fox's response would be here. If you told Fox before

469
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 4: the World Cup you could have only one of these

470
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 4: two scenarios, Messi with a chance to win his first

471
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 4: World Cup were the United States and the World Cup final?

472
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: What would they take on a global basis.

473
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: Messi mess I think the Argentina US final would be exciting.

474
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 2: I don't know if you don't have one though.

475
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, that's actually a very good either or I.

476
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 2: Think you got to go Messi this year around.

477
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: I think Fox would would realize that they're a US

478
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: based network and that they would go with the US

479
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: national team being in its first World Cup, going for

480
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: its first World Cup title, but Messi in his final

481
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: World Cup would be a very close second.

482
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 4: Chris, I think United States making it there. Your dad's right,

483
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 4: like to me, that's that's more than fifty percent of

484
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 4: the TV's watching the World Cup in the United States.

485
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: I think, Oh yeah, the curiosity level alone, you know,

486
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you would have millions of soccer

487
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: fans who became soccer fans five minutes ago, you know,

488
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: but they're still watching.

489
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: Stutts would be so rapids.

490
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: And Flag'd be the biggest US fan in the world.

491
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 5: So what I Well, we were the only ones to

492
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 5: believe in them and pick them to make it that far,

493
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 5: so we'd be having a moment.

494
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's actually disappointing.

495
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: Disappointing about it very much.

496
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: So I am disappointed. I don't know, maybe I'm alone

497
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: in that, but you know, you got to do better

498
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 1: than get through the group stage and then immediately lose totally.

499
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 5: Chris, would you give him what we were talking about

500
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 5: before and what your dad said, and maybe we can

501
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 5: ask Doug later. Would you have preferred as a US

502
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 5: fan to be playing for the championship and lose or

503
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 5: win the third place game.

504
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 2: And leave on a high note, get me to the final?

505
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: Really?

506
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

507
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 5: I feel like the US and I could be wrong.

508
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 5: I feel like for the US and American soccer fandom

509
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 5: ending on a high note, people will still watch the

510
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 5: third place game, and if they win that game as

511
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 5: opposed to getting like beat badly in the championship, it'll

512
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 5: have that invigorated momentum, you know what I mean, like

513
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 5: leave like, wow, we did it. Next year or next

514
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 5: four years, next tournament, we can really win this thing.

515
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 2: If you end with a win and getting to the

516
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: final doesn't give you that feeling, no, not if you

517
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 2: lose in an ugly fashion, No, just then what happens?

518
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 5: Then? What happens is Stu gott to myself. Will you see,

519
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 5: like we knew soccer is dead, like they had a chance,

520
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 5: that was it never going to get back there.

521
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 2: Soccer is dead, forget about it? You know, well you know,

522
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: you know, don't they know?

523
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: Okay they say actually they don't say this, but they should.

524
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: They say that you never feel more defeated than when

525
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: you lose the super Bowl.

526
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 5: Exactly saying they say that making these sayings about super

527
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 5: like super Bowl champions are.

528
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 2: Forgotten, like, okay, the super Bowl. I've never heard either

529
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 2: saying well.

530
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,959
Speaker 1: The super Bowl is the closest we have to an

531
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: American World Cup final. Okay, it's the biggest sporting event

532
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: in America. And when you lose the Super Bowl, you

533
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: have you were the biggest loser in sports.

534
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: That's not true, Yes it is. The Bengals were thought

535
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 2: of very positively. No after that game, people were like, oh,

536
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: the Bengals think they're like there were people saying they

537
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: blew it.

538
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody think the Bengals were more highly thought of

539
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: than most Super Bowl losers, only because they were a

540
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: team on the obvious ascent.

541
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 2: What's happened with the side? Why did you just look outside?

542
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: What's my neighbors? The Smiths are driving by very slowly.

543
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: I had to give him a quick glance, you know,

544
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: verify that it was somebody you know, acknowledged to be

545
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: legal in my neighborhood.

546
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 2: I didn't give them a wave, though.

547
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: Warren Smith a good man.

548
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 2: What is the neighborhood wave. What's the Greg Cody neighborhood wave?

549
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: Look like my wave is is very nondescript. I just

550
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: sort of a quick and a quick hand.

551
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: My dad had me convinced, as like a ten year

552
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 2: old boy, that people in corvettes had a wave that

553
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 2: they do to each other. It's true. They do, they do,

554
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: know they do.

555
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 4: I was saying yesterday, people in jeeps they have a wave.

556
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: There's not come out in like three weeks.

557
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: No, they do. They have a wave. Yeah, it's a

558
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: wave wave. It's your hand. Your hand is on the

559
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: steering wheel and you just a couple of fingers. Yeah,

560
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: what the hand equivalent of a nod? What's what's Warren

561
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: Smith up to these days? If you don't mind me asking,

562
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: I think he might be retired. I'm not sure he's

563
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: a he's a man of my approximate vintage. Yeah, and

564
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: he may be retired. Why do you think he was

565
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: driving by so slowly?

566
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 2: I mean they, dude, the Smiths have always driven slowly.

567
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: I mean they're slow drivers.

568
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 2: They respect the neighborhood right and also kids.

569
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: And yeah, and he drives like a like a thirty

570
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: year old Uh yeah, Bronze colored suburban.

571
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and SUV that he bought in like ninety eight.

572
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 2: And I think about this, they've had the same suburban

573
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 2: in their driveway for decades.

574
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, lovely. People have to be honest.

575
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: They are they are people. If they broke, don't fix it,

576
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: you know.

577
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, my wife actually went to UH high school with

578
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: Warren's wife.

00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 2: and they haven't spoken.

582
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: Since that's not true, It isn't true. Your point is

583
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: well taken because it's almost true, but it isn't true.

584

605
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're better people, I guess Suburbia. The Smiths.

606
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 4: They seem like a couple that would, you know, bring

607
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 4: a pie over on occasion, you know, Thanksgiving, Just they

608
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,280

00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 2: Lisa, is it Lisa Smith? Lisa Smith?

610
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: No, but it's something like that text text your mother

611
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: right now and after Warren.

612
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 5: More specific we The more specific we get with their

613
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 5: names and where they live, the less likely it is

614
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 5: that I'm going to ask you if they're swingers, just

615
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 5: so you know.

616
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: I think they can safely say the answer to that

617
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: would be no.

618
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 2: But did I try calling my mom?

619
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 4: You're driving slowly by your house? I mean they're peering

620
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 4: into the windows, Greg.

621
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: Cooking around, what everyone's doing in their homes.

622
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: I'll never forget the first time I met them, when

623
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: they first moved into the neighborhood, their their father. They

624
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: Warren's father lived with him at the time. He since

625
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: left us, but at the time he was very old.

626
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: He was wearing like bib overalls. And I reached out

627
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: my hand and introduced myself and shook his hand. And

628
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: he says to me in this tone of voice, where

629
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: Smith's handshake too? Right? Where are Smith's? And I've never

630
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: known a Smith? The most common surname in America? Still true,

631
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: it is, And I've never known a Smith. Do you

632
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: all know Smith's. I don't think I do now that

633
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it. It's crazy, right, it's the most

634
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: common surname in America.

635
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 2: Still everyone should know a couple.

636
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: Do you know Smith? Chris? Huh?

637
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: Well, I know the Smith's our name.

638
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 4: Other than that, though, there might don't really know that

639
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 4: your mom has.

640
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: And let's make it. Let's make it clear. They're my Smith's,

641
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: not your Smith's, your own Smith's.

642
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 2: That's not two kids that I interacted with. That's their names,

643
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 2: Amanda and Natalie.

644
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, Natalie job Chris well out there infro like I wouldn't.

645
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. Also if I if I was their.

646
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: Address, is your wife a security number?

647
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 5: It sounds like the last time your wife spoke to

648
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 5: the Smiths, Ursula's surname might not have been Smith.

649
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: So Mary Smith.

650
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: Marty Smith.

651
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go into my phone. I was like,

652
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 2: I know Smith, here you go.

653
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 5: We should probably talk about the World Cup final real

654
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 5: quick on the way out.

655
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: Huh yeah about the Smiths though when in Rome. I

656
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: wonder if the Smiths will be watching the World Cup final?

657
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: All right, Greg, what you billy is right? Though?

658
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 4: This is God bless football and people have learned to

659
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 4: enjoy it because we don't talk soccer. We talk about

660
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 4: the Smiths. Chris is Andy Man and Donna's regardless. Uh,

661
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 4: it's Argentina and France. I know, I know that both

662
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 4: of you are excited for this, and you should be.

663
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 4: So what do you think here, Greg? What do you

664
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 4: think in terms of of who's Is Messy gonna win

665
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 4: his first World Cup?

666
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: I sure hope he does.

667
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 4: Because Felika the Bear told us in the first episode,

668
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 4: me and Mikey A billy was there, we were all there.

669
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 4: He told us to take Messi to win the Golden Boot.

670
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 4: And Messi is a win away from winning that Golden Boot.

671
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 4: He might win it anyway, even with a tough loss,

672
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 4: but he is close to mikey A and I took

673
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 4: that the second we let the bear go.

674
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Greg, what do you think is gonna happen here?

675
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:25,479
Speaker 2: You know?

676
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: I think the betting odds are right on. I think

677
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: it's a coin flip game. I think it's a true

678
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: pick a match. I think part of me thinks France

679
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: is the slightly better squad. I would say fifty two

680
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: forty eight. I'm leaning France in my heart. I think,

681
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, as a journalist, I don't root for teams.

682
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: I root for good stories. I root for If I

683
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: were in that stadium writing this, what would I want

684
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: to write? And there's no better story to come out

685
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: of this than Messi finally winning his first World Cup,

686
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: the only major trophy that's eluded him. So I slightly

687
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: want Messy to win. I slightly think France will win.

688
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: If I have to pick, I'm gonna say France, but

689
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: I hope So.

690
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 2: I know it's not sexy podcasting, but I completely agree

691
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 2: with my dad. I think I think everybody kind of

692
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: wants Messy to win. And that's just kinda like, you know,

693
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: that's where I kind of want to lean but if

694
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 2: I think you gotta go the other way, I love France.

695
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: I look for let me just add real quickly. I

696
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: looked at a bunch of different sports books trying to

697
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: find some some somebody who was not even and the

698
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: only sports book I found might have been Vegas Inside.

699
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 2: We only look at DraftKings though, so.

700
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: You know there are no other sports books. But if

701
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: there were, I might have found one that had France

702
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: as a razor thin favorite. Steven A Smith. There you go, Yeah,

703
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: yeah he's a king Smith. That guy, he's he's a

704
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: giant Smith. Yeah he's the king of the Smiths. He

705
00:32:53,760 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: really is. Yeah, Robert Smith. Uh so what do you expect?

706
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: High scoring? Low scoring? What listen, what I'm trying to

707
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: get at is what are we betting here? Okay, that's

708
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: what you got.

709
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 2: I've been kind of on this train the entire World Cup.

710
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 2: When you got a game like this, take the thing

711
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 2: that pays the best hit, that draw, bet the draw.

712
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 4: Chris, No, explain that to me and the audience. So

713
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 4: what is the what are the odds in a draw?

714
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: Here?

715
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 4: The draw I believe or plus two oh five and

716
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 4: that draw and regulation you're setting.

717
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 2: Which which is the best. It's it pays the least,

718
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: so it's most likely to happen, according to Vegas, because

719
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: I think most draws have been in the two fifty

720
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: range to forty. This one's down at plus two hundred.

721
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 2: It's just better odds than picking one of the teams

722
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 2: to win.

723
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: And no, I like it. I like it, And.

724
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 2: Then if you and then so you can also say,

725
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 2: if you want to make two bets, bet them to

726
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 2: draw to get to free you know, extra time, and

727
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,719
Speaker 2: then that's like, who do you got to win the cup? Now,

728
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 2: it's just it's minus one ten for both teams. If

729
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 2: I if I'm betting, are you bet with your heart?

730
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 2: Are you betting with your brain?

731
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 4: I'm betting with you with Greg's heart and Greg's brain

732
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 4: because I don't know anything about the sport.

733
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: So my dad's heart says MESSI his brain says France.

734
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: So what do you think we should bet with?

735
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: Here? So wait, wait, hold on, because I like this, Chris.

736
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 4: We're taking a draw, which means it just needs not

737
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 4: zero zero, No, it just needs to be any form

738
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 4: of tie headed into overtime, right, okay, get to extra time.

739
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,919
Speaker 4: So let's just establish that we are taking a draw.

740
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 4: This thing is going to ot.

741
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 2: Okay, you know what, it's it's Christmas time, it's the

742
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 2: holiday season. Let's go with our heart instead of our brain.

743
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 2: I'm going Argentina to win the Cup, so it's draw

744
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: they get to extra time. I'm taking Argentina to win

745
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 2: the Cups.

746
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 4: Put it in right, So Chris is going Argentina, draw Argentina.

747
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: We're We're all doing the draw.

748
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 2: That's what I'm doing.

749
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm so conflicted here because.

750
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 4: I want to win the money with MESSI winning the

751
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 4: building Boot, but I also want to have the take

752
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 4: still in my tank of MESSI do it in the

753
00:34:58,840 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 4: World Cup.

754
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: I don't to go with France. I'm gonna take France.

755
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take France.

756
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 2: France can win and he could still win your your trophy.

757
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 4: So well, you're right, and I could still and I

758
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 4: get a draw too, so I could still get a draw.

759
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take France to win the game. Greg in

760
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 4: PK's by the way, Greg, who are you going with?

761
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: Okay, this is a prediction. This is not who I want.

762
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: This is who I think is gonna win. Yeah, I

763
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 1: do think France is the slightly better all round team. Okay,

764
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: but you're all right your brain okay, in your.

765
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 5: Heart you picked with your heart. You have French blood,

766
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 5: but your heart wouldn't pick French or France.

767
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: Ironically, not in this spot. No. I like I say

768
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: as a journalist, I root for the best stories, and

769
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: the best story by a lot. And Bapa is twenty three,

770
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna have other World Cups. Lionel Messi is not.

771
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: This is very likely his last World Cup, he says

772
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: it will be, and the best story is him being

773
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: lifted on the shoulders of teammates the final whistle, all right,

774
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: and Billy, who you go?

775
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 4: And we're taking the over in the consolation game. And

776
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 4: in fairness to Greg, if Morocco does win that game,

777
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 4: I think that feels better than whoever loses.

778
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: On Sunday.

779
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 4: I did it just that country winning coming in third place?

780
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 4: That country, Yeah, not Croatia. Croatia's been to the final before.

781
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 4: They're actually good. That country made a run. They weren't
