Did you watch that Hot dog No You didn't. I'm over it. Yeah. I think I am too, but I also think I say this every year. I think this was my last year watching it Well, because last year was my first year even really discovering it. And I was like, wow, this is so interesting. And like I was watching it The allore is gone Yeah. it's the two hot dogs at a time for me Joey Chestnut won, we should say the sports of it all. He won his eighteenth mustard belelt sixty six hot doogs in ten minutes And while that is impressive, and it is seventeen thousand eight hundred and twenty calories, But who's counting ten off of his world record. He beat the next guy by a bunch and didn't set a new record. And so for me, it was sort of when I realized like I was just watching a guy eat way too many hot dogs to be worth watching, but not enough for it to have set Gird And so I was just like, what What am I doing? I should just go outside And so I know I say this and I'm still probably going to watch it next year. It's just so. Yeah, and especially in this heat wave. A ye. So one of the guys ate like six hot dogs. I was like, that's the move. Just like just take the free hot dogs. What stood out to me this year was that they make these like beautiful young women. standand right behind these guys shoving again, two at a time and then dipping buns in water. And these poor girls are like look over their shoulders and are like, okay, that's eight. I'm not have to hold this They're like clearly choking back vomit. Let's get just like set those girls free. Why Why do they are they getting paid to do that? you think probablyrobably not. Certainly not enough I think we need to find him competition to make it watchable. I think twenty twenty seven needs to be chestnut versus a bear. Brady train. You said if you get a year, Yeah. You can train to be good at something. here's your chance. Step up and start eating hot dogs. You think you could do it? I think I might not make it to a year and a day Right, but that's okay. It would be we need it from you and then we would send you after Vahalla Dug on your chest. I think I'm already over conffident that I could do like twenty right now I love this. Wh did I even throw that on? I don't want to prove that. I don't want to prove that. all the oddgs next year. Let's make a podcast. This episode is presented by EXinity.

Conggratulations to them, by the way. We get the Jalen Brown trade. I've been avoiding talking about this, but the time has come. Chris and I will have to address what the Celtics are up to. Hopefully Chris has some answers because all I've got are questions. We've got a special little Isabella segment. We're going to Isabella Corner to hear what's going on with Wimbledon. And we'll get to all of that in just a little bit. But first here up top, obviously World Cup fever We've all got it We're all watching more soccer than we've ever watched. I'll say, I had a clip go a little bit viral. Are we still saying that Mhm I had a clip go a little bit viral from the radio show, fan service, which you can listen to every day, noon to one Eastern on Mad Dog Sports radio on SirusXM. And it was about, you know something. It doesn't matter was what it was about. The comments have now taken over and every single day, my notifications on Instagram are just a number of people telling me that it's football not soccer. And I am so sick of hearing this from people. haveave we passed to the point where you check the comments and if the thing you wanted to say has been said You don't bother to say it. Are we past that as a society? The amount of people acting like they're the first person to say it startarting to really It started to really surprise and annoy me What The type of person who will check the comments is usually not the one that has a loud comment to make. Yeah. those ships do not intersect in the It's crazy No one goes, you know what? I'm looking and I'm seeing a lot of the same. I guess my comment isn't necessary. No one's doing that. They're all just continuously telling me that it's football not soccer. And so I feel it necessary to say here at the top of this podcast, we call it soccer here And I understand that in other countries, it's an international game. I understand it's not even that popular here in the United States, but like football is we already have football, and I'm not going to call that American football. That feels little insane. So we're just going to call it soccer. and I I'm so bored with the discussion about what to call it. and I have a hard time believing people are still this offended by it. But I guess if you are, I gave you the contact info reach out, flood my other channels with it because I just, whatever, we're calling it soccer and we're fired up about it. Now, listen, the round of thirty two concluded on Friday. and what a thrilling slate of games it was. Here's the thing. The World Cup previously was just thirty two teams. It used to be thirty two teams got in. and so the round of thirty two, I'm doing air quotes, was like the group stages. This was the first time we got this round of thirty two that had a lot of teams that don't normally make it this far. That's why you may have heard in the coverage of these games. a lot of people say this is their first knockout win in a while Um becausecause the tournament expanded this year to forty eight nations, we got this round to thirty two after the group stage. And I just wanted to make sure that we remember each and every one because we had some great games in the round of thirty two. So to commemorate The round of thirty two, I have ranked All sixteen matches From sixteen to one And we will go through and discuss each. Now some weren't You know are going to be quick. But there's a lot of really good ones in here and Isabelle is going to help me out. All right. I don't know if you want to like put on a fun voice or anything. You're going to just help move the list along by announcing the numbers. So before we go, without further ado, this is all matches from the World Cup round of thirty two ranked from sixteen To one All right and starting off with Number sixteen Great, Fantastic. Number sixteen, Switzerland beats Algeria Two nil Algeria obviously barely squeaked into the round of thirty two. They had that three three tie in the last match of their group against Austria. So they they barely made it in and then to nothing This was a fine match Number sixteen Um, o, what's before sixteen? I think it's fifteen Bane versus Austria. Ag, Austria barely squeaking in. They had that three three tie against Algeria. Spain w three nil Um retty decisive, not exciting. I only ranked it above the first one because Spain has more interesting players that I guess I care about a little bit more. Next. Ky, let's do some math. What's seven times do u I'm not supposed to say the numbers, so I don't wantan to say. you say D't be boring. fourteen Okay. Fantastic. How made this work? This is wild. This is a wild way to do this, but I look forward to it continuing. Number fourteen, Columbia Beat Gana one nil. This was the this look, it's not really this match' fault, but this was the last match of the round of thirty two and it came on Friday after some incredible matches. And so one nil Kind of it dud. I was also feeling kind of over it, ready to move on to the next. And so this one gets ranked at number seven times two, I guess Ono the next. All right, number thirteen. What are you mad now? Prime number, thank you. Okay, number thirteen, She's not excited anymore. The bit has been exploded. number thirteen, France, beating Sweden, three nil. againgain, three nil, pretty decisive from France. This is actually Sweden's earliest elimination in the World Cup since nineteen ninety. So there's that headline, but we were as an apartment rooting for Sweden here because Dan Soder Suder is technically from Sweden. And so it was a bit of a dud, kind of a disappointment. I ranked it higher than the others before it because Didier D Champ Francis Coach came back. In this match, he had left because his mother passed away, so he left the team during the group stage, but he came back during this match and there was like a sweet reunion with the team and they celebrated with him. So that's why I ranked it here at number. Bus points on this one. If you are one to just show up, you would just want to see stars play like stars You do get that with France, like France has Like Embopepe has showed up and played like the dude. He has played like the best player in the world, which is what we expected. If that's what you're here for You just w to see one man take over. I will give credit to any France game. They can make a three, nothing game exciting. It's not just Ebape, it's also other guy. Dembe Dembe Oiseman Dembe. great. name, a lot of great names, a lot of fun names to say. Killian honestly as a first name is so underrated. I don't feel like enough people are talking about his name being Killian veryy sick. So anyway, that's why France is at number thirteen. Number twelve. Oh now this is what I was looking for. at number twelve in our ranking of every match from the round of thirty two, we have Canada against South Africa. Canada beat South Africa one nill It was zero zero for most of the game. The reason it's ranked pretty high when that sounds rather boring is that Canada finally did score in stoppage time. It was the ninety second minute and it was thrilling. Canada went. Absolutely nuts. They've got an American coach who who's just very animated. It was like a huge release when Canada beat South Africa. But it's but still it was nil, nill for most of the game. so that's why it doesn't crack our Congrats to Canada on that Um The Jalen Brunson match, it's number eleven Sports crosssover. att number eleven, we have Mexico beating Ecuador T Nil. Mexico scored in the twenty second minute and the thirty first minute in this. So if you're looking for drama. There wasn't necessarily a ton. It was they had two goals for most of the game and that's how it ended. but I rank this one higher and this is where maybe the integrity of the rankings gets called into question. I rank this one a little higher because for me, Mexico fans have kind of been one of my favorite stories of this tournament. Mexico, obviously one of the host nations, the United States, Canada, and Mexico And u, you know We've been talking about them quite a bit. There was before this match against Ecuador, the Mexican fans, we played this for you last time and I promise we won't play it for you again because if you were driving or you know doing anything peaceful when we played it last episode, I'm sure that wasn't enjoyable for you, but they went outside of Ecuador's hotel and made a ton of noise the night before the match to try to keep the players up all night. And I'm not saying it worked. But Ecuador did lose two Nil U so I'm sorry you meant this song? I said it was. Katie said she wouldn't. I didn't. Damn, this is Isabella's heel turn in this episode. Isabella is becoming the enemy of pod listeners today and I kind of like the evil energy. Also Mexico, we talked about them chugging tequila with South Korean fans. They've been throwing people up in the air a lot Um, did you guys see the story about the dog There was this dog Gorda A six year old dog who belonged to, I believe it's Ale Garcia. And Gorda disappeared from the Garcia's home on may twenty fourth And three days later, she put out a message that was like, I can't find my dog. Somebody please help me. Gorda is missing.. The dog was gone for about a month. And no sign of him, her him her her until a live stream of Jubilant Mexico fans celebrating their win over Cechia nine miles from where the dog was last seen, you see somebody in the in the crowd pick up a dog and is celebrating with this dog in the streets and the woman's brother saw and recognized the dog and reached out to the woman and they were like, I think I found Gorda And they did. and Gordon wasn't she missing. I think she ran away at a part. Gordon was like, I gotta go be with my people. I gotta celebrate these winds. W Evidence number one that that may not have been the that coule They named her Lag Gorda That dog is just named Fatty. Oh is that look So is a gordita just a little fatty? Little fatty. chuby. So every time I eat my cheesy little fatty crunch, that's what I'm eating. I like it even more now. S show up and ask at the window. Can I get two little fatties? Two little fatties, please? I have never tried the gordita crunch I have you ever been a taco Bell? Yes, of course. Well, don't yes, of course, mean you've never tried a cheesy gordita crunch. Beacause I'm kind of like I like the same things. And what is it what's the things? I love a chalupa suupreme. Ver tasty. beef. Yes, everythingvery with beef. I don't have any other meat at taco bell. Yeah. The only time I'll have the chicken is when I have that new taco that they have, the chicken cantina, no I like the beefy five layer burrito. okay I do like a soft taco supreme is pretty good too. Okay, but here' lo tacos a soft taco and a it's like a I'm not going get it. I just haven't done it. You gotta try it. Okay That's my order is two cheesy Gorditas crrunch. That's what I get at taco Bell because there's no lettce though, D don't be gross, you know? And I'd also like to take this time to apologize to Mexico for discussing Taco Bell while talking about's not what we had to do at all. That was not at all the plan It's just where we happen to find ourselves. And if you'd like to blame someone, may I recommend Bella She calls it soccer She calls it soccer and it's been her all day, you know, len She walk out of this studio right now. You can't Lgally you can. You have a whole segment today comoming up in just a bit. Okay, we've reached the top ten. Okay, this is where things start to get interesting. Now if you guys take serious issue with any of these rankings, let you know casualties. you can you can hit me with a red card and we can call any of this into question. Okaykay? You have the ability. You don't have to Make eye contact with me when I say that You don't have to Can because I struggled with where to rank some of these, but let's jump into them, Isabella, where are we at Ten. That's right att number ten. we have Brazil, Japan. Brazil obviously beat Japan. Two to one Japan scored in the twenty ninth minute So they were up one nil. They took that lead to the half. Some of us Wearing our Japan kits really thought This was going to be it. Japan was going to win with an upset But then Brazil scored the equalizer in the fifty six minute and then at what felt like the last possible moment The ninety sixth minute Martinelli scored the game winner and Brazil goes on to win. I've got it at ten because while it was very exciting, it didn't go the way that I wanted it to. So that's where I put it It's at ten And we said goodbye to Japan, a place where again, my father Born Shout out. Beautiful. Isabella? N nine. Number nine, we have Norway beating Iivory Coast two to one. Norway had a one mill lead and then in the seventy fourth minute Against all odds. Ivory Coast Tar I was with my family. We were watching at my apartment. We were very excited. This became a game. It was one one And then that was only for like ten minutes because in the eighty sixth minute, Erling Holland scored the game winner. That was his fifth goal in three games. Holland is another one of the stories of this tournament so far He's been so exciting. He looks like a Viking Isabella, you know what he looks like, right? You've seen Erling Holland? Yes, I have. veryer striking man. blonde hair that's, you know with the undercut. Yes And they've, you know, Norwegian fans have been very exciting. People have been loving the The row Chris youwgian team is staying or was staying were they were stationed out of Greensboro. rightight near us. So all of Greensboro and the surrounding, you know Cows are all going for Norway in this world cup along with USA, of course, but of course. everyone around these parts have sort of adopted Norway. you see Norwegian flags all over the place. It's been pretty cool Your self included, would you say Absolutely. and I like watching you know, Ho in playlay so that helps Did you notice Holland has two names on his his kit on the back of his? Nice that. I don't know the story behind it. I do It's his mom's maiden name. So his dad was a famous soccer player. He played in the Premier League and everybody knows that. obbviously he's Holland His mom's last name is Brout. She was a famous en Taflete. And so he goes by Brout Holland because he gives his mom credit as well For how nasty of an athlete he is, isn't that awesome? Oh cute. Yeah, I love that. And literally that is why I ranked this higher. This is that was your number nine match in the round of thirty two isabel Number eight. Number eight, we have England beating the Democratic Republic of Congo, also affectionately known as doctor Congo, two to one Um o had to the lead for a while One mill. they scored in the seventh minute shocking and everybody was like, What's gonna happen? And it took A whileild For England to score. Harry Kaine scored in the seventy fifth minute to even it and then Ten minutes later in the eighty sixth. to win, but that match had an incredible performance from DR Congo's goalkeeper M Posse. He had an incredible save of a shot by Jude Bellingham and then he also He scored Harry Kan he saved Harry Kaine's goal with his penis He took it right, He took it right off of his This lame should be high. Oh, I saw that with the one where they jumped in the air. And then like the ball hit his penis. It hit his penis. Yeah. Yeah ye ye. Brady is that you pulling out a red card on this? Red card in this game should be higher. This game got to we were at halftime. It was one, nothing Dr. Kongo. and this look like this year's version of the inevitable moment in every World Cup where Team England shifts its pants. Like this looks like this was The one where they had everything on paper and just kept firing every shot directly into the penis of the goalie. They kept doing everything they could to just not score a goal. They were like one percent away at every chance and you look up the scoreboard, it was one, nothing in half. It they weren't quite getting there. Um, I I was like you know, I thought this game was going to come out. This is classic where England comes out slow. I' bet they'll be tied at half one, notothing. Congo was up. Congo was in a position to take this thing home And you ended up having the stars had to come out and play like stars to get this thing done in the end. like Harry Canain had to go be world class. He had to go place two. almost was the upset of the tournament. This really like England looked like they were about to get sent home and had to claw back. Like this one was a thrill ride. Okay, so I have it at eight But Brady, here's what we'll do as I go back up as we keep going on the list. You can let me know when you go, this is where I think England should be and that that would have to move that other one to eight. I can still veto it because as we've learned and will get to There aren't really any rules when it comes to the cards. you can suspend suspensions te for you because that match is coming up in a little bit. I will say England winning this match did give us one of maybe the matches of the tournament in the round of sixteen, but we're not talking about the round of sixteen today. And so but we will eventually at some point So that's number eight, Isabella? Nber seven. Number seven. We have Chris, I'm really sorry, but it is your time. att number seven, we have Egypt beating Australia R healty kicks Hey numberum sixteen should have been sixteen. Overruled This was exciting. This is our first instance of penalty kicks in this ranking from the round to thirty two. It wasn It wasn't the like chronologically first, but it does allow me to ask the question, how do you say The score. when it's penalty kicks You say they beat them one one for three in penalty kicks? likeike how do say beat them for two They beat them four two in penalty kicks. Yeahah. But then you never acknowledge out loud what the score was when it went into PK. Ites't matter. And nobody cares. it matters to me score I don't know. I'm the wrong person to The score was one one. The score was one one going into penalty kicks, which you would think means that Australia scored a goal and Egypt scored a goal. But what actually happened was that Egypt scored a goal and then Egypt scored an own goal on themselves that obviously they gave to Australia. Now, did you watch this whole match, Chris Of course I haven't missed an Australian game since two thousand six. Oh What happened? Do you remember the exact date? Well becausecause Australia first made the World Cup in two thousand six for the first time in a lifetime? So I watched every single Australian World Cup game. Gorgeous. Beautiful. Really beautiful. I agree. A abbsolutely stunning. So did you see the own goal from is it Hani? Mohammed Hani? There was a great cross though from the Australian player so if The Egyptian player didn't get his head on it. I think maybe it still could have gone through from another Australian that Yeah So I'm still giving us credit. That was that was a wicked cross Yeah, that guy also had been like knocked out moments before. So it was possible he probably sh have a b. That was crazy. It's crazy. and it's exactly what you don't want to happen when you let a guy like that stay in the game is that like on the next play, he scores his second own goal of the tournament By the way, we are now at a record of own goals in this tournament Um But again, it's an expanded field. So I felt like that was probably bound to happen Um Egypt won this game. It was their first knockout win ever. They obviously got their first World Cup win ever in the group stages against New Zealand. seemeems like they've really got it out for Oceania So you know? although in the end I felt like Australia we did it to ourselves. Okay. so let's talk about what happened in penalty kicks. I have a lot of questions across soccer Uh penalty kick strategy And I'm sure we willll get into it a little bit more as we get into more PK games. Australia, what was interesting here is that after extra time Right in that last minute Australia subbed out their goalie who had played the entire match brought in another goalie. only played the entire match played the entire tournament played every single minute for Austraya leading up to that moment then with a minute to go in extra time. they subbed out speach and brought in Matdie Ryan who Before the tournament, I think was widely picked to be our starting goalie. He has been our starting goalie for a long time So it was sort of a surprise when Tony Popovic selected Beeach to start instead of Ryan. But Beach had a fantastic tournament. He had given up three goals for the entire tournament, I guess four, including that match. had a terrific save a couple of minutes before I got subbed out. One of the saves of the tournament Sub team out. brought in Matdiey Ryan as the what happened Penalty specialist and then Matdie Ryan proceeded to not touch the ball for the entire duration of the penalty kicks He saved none None of themone Why What was the post game commentary which it would have been fine had Australia actually score their penalties brought in Harry Sutar to take the first penalty defefender. Then you had another couple We scored the second and third. Th then we brought in eighteen year old Lucas Harrington eighteen year old Lucas Harrington, also another defender to come in and take the fourth kick alsoso missed So two defend is coming in, two defend is missed. sure why you would do that. Again, I amm not a soccer expert. I don't know if this is a regular thing to bring in defenders to take penalty kicks, but from an Australian perspective who watched this game and saw two defenders miss penalties, doesn't seem like a great from my end Hm Yeah. there was a lot of this throughout the tournament where I was like, well who decides? because these are sort of crazy decisions. Another crazy decision I heard a woman on the BBC was telling everybody what happened. and you know, the Australian team affectionately referred to as the Soccers I think she thought that was the name of somebody who missed a penalty kick because she pronounced it in a way. I have never even conceived pronouncing Sakarus No goals in extra time took it to penalties But then Scurus missed Allowing Egypt Foram Abdul Magid to slu. Searas. Itsearus. And then Sekaras missed the I thought that was pretty funny. Okay, that's number seven Number six, number six. Okay, this is where I put the United States, Bosnia P Cavina This is, you know, obviously we're biased as United States men's national team fans. But I do think this was a good game and They won two nil The big story was the the Balligan Rd card, which we'll get to in a secondc because there's been some development since, but he missed the he had to leave the game. We had to play a man down for the last what? Brady twenty minutes. And he had scored the original the first goal. So it was one mill when he was taken off And then I mean, the one of my favorite goals so far this tournament was that Malike Tilman free kick Beautiful, gorgeous. one of those paths that the ball takes that like only it could if it was any way left or right up or down, it would have missed. But it just perfectly sliced its way into the net. Absolutely stunning and gorgeous. And I did like to see the way the United States responded to adversity. somethingomething we had learned in that last match of the group stages against Turkey was like our subs don't really necessarily have it and that maybe when everything isn't exactly right, we can't succeed. And so it was nice to see the United States respond and respond powerfully and look like a good team that did what they had to do to win the match. A Should we talk about the Flow Balligan red card and the situation that has unfolded since. So it's so much more complicated than just just seeing the red card. I know. So Balligan was given a red card that a lot of people thought Soccer experts far and wide and then also us. And then also us losers who just like watching soccer every now and then. thought maybe red was a little bit strong, especially because we had seen Leenel Messi, one of the stars of the tournament Do something similar to someone and go completely uncarted earlier in the tournament. but basically he stepped on the back of someone's leg And they went to VAR and reviewed it and decided, yes, this was in fact a red card and as a red card. That means that you have to come out of the game now and also you're suspended for the next match. So that meant that Flowbeallion who every game that he has started in this tournament, he has scored, correct? Y. And he that meant he was out for not just the rest of this game. The next game as well. And like I said, While it was nice to see that the United States could rise to the occasion here, we're not trying to play without the guy that scores the goals. We need that guy. And on a BS Rd card, people were pissed. Now people were people were pissed and not soccer fans. So then of course the United States fans got a little loud about it. But I'm with them. I agreed. I think it was a crazy call. and I think a everything looks so much more intentional in slow motion, When you go to when you go to the bar, like every once you slow it down, it looks like he's very slowly smashing down the back VR is not supposed to use slow motion. That's FIFA's own rules. You're not even when they go to VAR to review it, they're not supposed to slow the footage down because of exactly what Brady's saying. It makes it look a lot more intentional, a lot more serious, a lot more dangerous where In the actual moment, he had to put his foot somewhere and the guy's leg got in the way. That's my official statement. It was not on purpose. It was not malicious. It sucked. was it was bad. It could have caused injury, but the guy kept playing, correct And and so it was it felt like a not fair red card. So of course, after the match, United States fans were like, hey soccer people who know stuff, helpp me out. Can we appeal this? And in general, it was kind of a complicated answer, but it boiled down to no. notot really. There's not really anything you can do. And so we all just kind of accepted it because what they said was, if you go to VAR, VAR is kind of treated like the appeal in the first place. So it's basically already been reviewed. So the odds that they'll go back and review it. So we all just sort of accepted it And that was until Sunday Sunday You wake up and find out I stopped what I was doing. I said Dam like noon, Katie So you wake up, you eat breakfast and then an hour later You find out That uh that I said, damn Magan's going to play and he was like, what? he came out. He put down his video games. That's right. We wake up, we eat breakfast. That's around eleven. And then at noon he's already in there playing video games and I was playing my video games and playing a Star Wars game going pretty well for me. Anyway I said, Phlobalan's going to play. Come to find out FIFA announced on Sunday that they would suspend Balligan suspension. and that's not even the craziest part of the story. So they said in line with Article twenty seven of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, the implementation of the match suspension is suspended For a probationary period of one year, if Valeron Balligan commits another infringement of a similar nature and gravity during the probationary period. so if he does this again while he's being allowed to play, the suspension shall be revoked, which I assume they mean is the suspension of the suspension. Y. And if you revoke the suspension of a suspension, that just means you're suspending someone, I understand how this is quite complicated The suspension would be revoked and the sanctionforced without prejudice to any additional sanction imposed for the new infringement. They didn't explain why They didn't say anything about why. They just said we're going to put that on hold and Belgium not thrilled about this. And I get why even just because they practiced and game planned And then this was announced on their day off before the match. So Sunday was their day of rest and relaxation. I'm sure they're not at the spa. They're supposed to be resting and getting ready for the match, and now they're finding out that what they had game planned for was not the case And so Belgium's coach came out and gave what I think he thought was a banger of a quote I'm not much of a fan. He said, I didn't know that at the World Cup, the fifth of July is actually the first of April It's April Fools bars Tato, tomato, toato It's like I don't get. Why we focused on the date? Also you say fifth of July, An Americ's brain is going to go fourth of July, likeike we're not. thinking about to see is Is April Fools a bigger deal in Belgium? I actually didn't even know that was an international holiday. I assumed April Fools was a purely American thing. Didn't we find out last year that it originated in England Oh maybe and guess what? I forgot that. I quickly forgot that. Also anything that originated in England that I like is ours and anything that originated in England I don't like, that's theirs In the French speaking regions of Belgium, it is known as Poisson'rial April Fish. April Fish But celebrated July fish. He could have made a joke about that It It has origins to sixteenth century France, actually. Interesting It's an incredibly French holiday, if you think about it So Rudy Garcia says that. he drops that banger, he drops that bar. Then we hear from President Trump on Truth Social Sunday. againain, anybody else using that site The White House just screenshots what he says there and puts it on the platforms where people will actually see it and usually sets it to the music of a pop star who then has to come out and go, Can you know what? I don't want you to do this So on trrue Social Sunday, Trump said, Thankk you to FIFA for doing what was right and reversing a great injustice. President Donald J. Trump always caps on his own name att a press briefing on Monday. this was on Monday He admitted he called giant baby, Gianni Infantino to ask for a review. He said, all I did was ask for a review. I didn't say you have to do this. This man is a smart, tough man, Gianni Infantino. He's a smart, tough man who looks like a baby. and his stock has gone through the roof. What does that mean? Because the job he has done has been great. I feel like we have to have all the best players on the This is where we just went I know it pains me I was like, amm I going to have to say? Q President Trump because I think we've all seen that clip that goes viral online of of a guy talking about cororruption Rereesite corruption is only bad If it doesn't involve me. If I am a part of the corruption, I defend it And that's how I feel lookook, the United States has been trying to get into the Soccer world for so long that we've been wanted to be taken seriously by these other countries for so long And I think finally This does it We got we dipped our toe in and we said we're going to swing our power around. And the recipient of the FIFA Peace prize Donald Trump the horn and said, Listen, giant baby here's what I want to know. I would love to hear audio Trump trying to pronounce Falerin Balligan. I would just like to hear just that part clipped so that we could play it. There's no chance he nailed that first try, right There's no chance he even tried. Yes He's just the player Yeah the big beautiful player. O big beautiful player our scores goals our goal scorer, you must let him play. I also saw a report that they had put together a bunch of lawyers to try to lobby for this. And and Infantino issued a statement on Monday confirming he spoke with Trump, but insisting So let the record reflect. I know I joked that this was corruption. Gianni in Fantino says FIFA's judicial bodies are independent. and that Infantino had no influence over the FIFA decision regarding Balligan We don't know if Trump had any influence over Infantino, but that doesn't matter because Infantino had no say The Belgian Federation appealed on Monday. they asked for an explanation. and then and then later Monday they got word that FfFA had dismissed the appeal. They weren't going to anything out of it. And so Balligan will play in the round of sixteen Now there is precedent for this. FIFAs Dciplinary Code Sction twenty seven states, quote, the judicial body. The judicial system. Who is that? that Dana K Carve The judicial system Anyway, the judicial body may decide to fully or partially suspend the implementation of a disciplinary measure. By suspending the implementation of the sanction, it's so many words The judicial body subjects the person sancted to a probationary period of one to four years. Now we saw it recently this year. This has already this rule affected this World Cup Christiano Ronaldo received a red card during Portugal's final World Cup qualifier back in November for elbowing an Ireland defender in the back According to disciplinary code, that mandates a strict three match ban for violent conduct. I love that it says strict. Because really that word doesnn't mean anything So he got this three match ban, which would have ruled Ronaldo out of the opening match of the World Cup. Instead, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee issued a suspended suspension and allowed Ronaldo to serve his one match suspension in a pre World Cup friendly, and then the remaining two matches of the suspension have been held for a one year probationary period. Strict where But that is precedent. They gave no rationale and nobody really said anything because we weren't paying attention before the World Cup. This happened in the World Cup. Um Also in the World Cup previously in nineteen sixty two Garina. from Brazil received a red card in the semif final and was allowed to play in the final B then suspension after a red card was not automatic in nineteen sixty two, a disciplinary committee would meet the next day and decide to suspend or not. and I guess they had decided not to suspend. after both the Peruvian and Chilean presidents, the World Cup was in Chile that year. intervened on his behalf The referee that was set to testify as to what he saw in front of the disciplinary committee also coincidentally left the country that day Reportedly, there was a ten thousand dollars bribe involved, but Brazil, went on to beat Czech Republic three one in the final with that guy playing. So u There is precedent for it technically And I choose to say It's out of our hands It looks like we'll just have to accept what FIFA has decided and this is what FIFA has decided. I couldn't possibly have any other. things to say What number are we on, Isabell Number five. Okay, number five. I have Belgium up against Senegal. Belgium beat Senegal three two. a disappointing final result that you might think why is this rank so high? I could not believe the way that this went. Senegal had two goal lead Senegal was beating Belgium to nill. They went up one nothing in the twenty fourth minute. They scored again in the fifty first minute It was getting down to like the eightieth minute. It gets to the eighty fifth minute. And I'm like, this game is over. Senegal's going to win two nothing. Belgium scored in the eighty sixth minute. And then they scored again three minutes later to tie the game and send it into extra time And then in stoppage time Time at one twenty five ty kick Belgium won on real. Absolutely unreal result. I mean jaw was on the floor. From the eighty sixth minute on my jaw was on the floor. I could not believe. It was devastating, very sad for Senegal. that was Awesome game until it wasn't. And so I ranked it at five Um Number four. number four I have Morocco beating the Netherlands in penalty kicks. This was one of the shockers in PKs, Morocco eliminating Netherlands, a team with a lot of big talent on it, a team that has a soccer history. The Netherlands took the lead. They scored in the seventy second minute. That was the opening of scoring. Nobody scored until the seventy second minute and then in the first minute of stoppage time. Morocco Ti shhocking, thrilling, exciting. They go to the end of extra time, one hundred and twenty minutes and it's still tied one one. So they go into penalty kicks. Netherlands is up first. they score Morocco steps up crossbar. So Netherlands is up one nil Netherlands then hits the post and then Morocco scores. So it's tied one one. Then the Netherlands score it's two one, Morocco scores it's two two The Netherlands miss Morocco misses. and I'm watching these going, what who's going to step up? What is going on The Netherlands steps up, they kick. it is saved by the keeper and then Morocco steps up and scores the game winner, the place goes nuts. Morocco wins and eliminates the Netherlands in the round of thirty two. a shocker. Did you guys watch this one? This one was crazy I watched Morocco in Canada M or not Okay, I'm sorry. . talking with the round to thirty two today. I was sad to see the Dutch branding go down. Because the bright orange is just is fun. So catching. Yeah, it's very fun Um, I'm going to save this because I have other negative things to say about the next team the penalty kicks of it all. For penalty kicks. Yeah Katie Nolan lines up. Oh boy for World Cup penalty kick. Like everybody in their mind. you always see the data It's like the last five penalty kicks that this guy has taking of going here here here here and here And then some keepers you see them run over and they get the data from the coach And some keepers are like, don't tell me anything. I'm just going I'm just going on vibes Where are you going Where am I going take it? Where are you going? Are you a Run up and just hit it. Are you doing a stutter step? Are you getting fancy? I don't need to know the M I know a mother. Is No Isabella and I both are doing the Moszala Panenca. We're going to go straight down the middle, right up to the ball, kick it right down the middle as the goalie dives off to the side.. How I know it wasn't for your team, Chris, But how thrilling of a penalty kick is that It was petrifying when he was doing it at the time I like man, there's no chance he's missing this And stairs down madebe Ryan afterwards too Egyptian king The little bloop down Broadway though, if you if if the goalie doesn't, if he stops it is the worst Yeah because you have just hit the little soft one down center And it just gets delicately stopped. Yeah. that would be embarrassing. would I would make sure to not kick it over the net. That's what I would be my All my brain would be saying is like, do not miss the net. Like put it on goal down G to lean over the ball Although I'd keep my head up because sometimes guys are fully head down and they kick it and the keeper jumps before they kick it and they kick it to where the keeper jumped I would have my head up, so he if he dove to the left, I'd go to the right. I don't know. surely it's harder than I think it is, but I still think I'd be fine at it. Anyway Moving on, what number are we on Isabella We are at number three. Number three England would go. Yeah. this Okay, so you think England goes here I think England, o no, no, these three would have been ahead of England. I think these three games I would have put ahead of the England Doctor Congo game. Okay, so you would put it at four. Okay I don't know. Take a vote. Do you guys agree Sure, Isabella is just sayitting shit, Chris U I took where you kept it where you had it. Thank you. Okay, so it stays where it was. Sorry, Brady Your red card is revoked and I'm suspending your suspension for the third suspension. So you'll suspend outside of the suspension and we'll talk about that after. okay Um What were we at Isabell State again Number three. Number three, I have Paraguay beating Germany in PKs This was an elimination nobody saw coming. They tied one one after extra time. They went to penalty kicks. I didn't write these ones all down the way I did for the last penalty kicks I went through. It's trying to keep the audio interesting. but I will say the guy who ultimately missed the penalty, Tah for Germany should not have been taking penalty kicks. This is where I first started to go, Wh decides who takes penalty kicks? And the story that was at least reported the next day was that people on Germany were actively saying, I don't want to be the on And you hate that. I didn't know you could do that either and I hate that. and that would make me dislike you as a member of my team because in that moment I want you wanting that. I want you going like, I want to be the one who wins it not approaching it with the same frame of mind that the NBA seems to approach the dunk contest where they go, Oh, I don't want to embarrass myself Ohh, this could go worse for me if I don't do well But That's not the mindset of an elite athlete. I want you go and give me the ball. I'm going to score. not I don't think so. Everyone will be really, really mad at me if I miss I honestly didn't know that you could say no, which is why it was strange when I heard people saying that Lucas Harrington was so brave when he said yes to tak it. I'm like, what do you mean Everyone takes it. So Having this context, I'm like, oh Good for him then ail have to say, yell, do it I gu. whyy not Yeah, it's kind of wild, Brady. Is this where you wanted to go into stuff about penalty kicks Yeah. I mean, theyre not wanting to take it having the kid end up and just Ending it on just missing the goal rather than having the keeper make an amazing save is always tough. I'm just so soured on Paraguay Yeah I know it's for a game you don't want to talk about. Yeah. I this is the this is why I ranked them. third and the next game at second because Paraguay, while they are an underdog and it's crazy. they eliminated Germany and nobody saw that coming. They're such an unlikable underdog. They are the inverse the spiritual inverse of a team we will talk about shortly. They are the way that they play the attitude that they have They just are like, okay And again, we're not talking about the next round, but it did affect my, you know, they have kind of played that way throughout the tournament. And so while this was a crazy underdog story, they're not my favorite underdog of the tournament. And so I ranked them at three, which I felt dirty. It's complaint after complaint. It's dive after dive. And I know that sounds like a lot of soccer if you're not watching a ton of soccer. that sounds like most teams Paraguay is that turned up to like a million. So they beat Germany, eliminated Germany, Crazy shocking, but only ranks number three for the round of thirty two. Isabella Number two. Okay. now this might be controversial. I thought you guys would take issue with this one, but I've got at number two, Portugal beating Croatia two to one. Now on paper, this was this all happened within regulation. time, isn't that absolutely insane. This game had the most devastating ending I think I've ever seen in a soccer match that I've been watching live and that I remember. I know it's a lot of qualifications. But this was a devastating end to this game for Croatia tootal goals in this match were called back because they were ultimately ruled offsides. So there was like so many moments, especially in a game that's two one where like leads seemed to be changing and then they actually were called back. So there was a lot of that in this game. Croatia scored first. they took a one mill lead in the fifty third minute Then there was a goal call back, I believe for for Portugal and then eventually Ronaldo gets a penalty kick and scores in the sixty eighth minute. This was the first goal in the World Cup knockout stage for Ronaldo whichich was a shocking if you don't pay close enough attention to know that, but B hilarious because if you do pay close enough attention, Ronaldo's derogatory nickname among people who don't think he's as great as he seems to think he is is Penaldo. And the um It has nothing to do with penis Isabell I saw you per cop like that might be. But it was that he gets a lot of his points and his he scores a lot of his goals on penalty kicks that he gets from calls that he gets And so for him to finally score I saw someone say it was as if God went here, damn. like fine. takeake this. And so he scores in the eightieth minute, Croatia appears to take the lead, but that gets rolled off sides. Then they sub off Ronaldo and In the ninetieth minute was when we find out how much extra time we're going to get and it's ten minutes because there's been a lot going on in this game. So it's ninety plus ten in the ninety fourth minute Portugal A guy who subbed on Ramos scores a goal And so they take a two one lead. againgain, that's the ninety fourth minute And as we've discussed before That means because they scored and there's a celebration, that yes, it was plus ten, but it's going to be a little bit more than that because now there's like more stoppage time being added So the game the clock is ticking. It gets to one hundred, which would be ninety plus ten, easy math for you. and the game is still going. It gets to one and two and change And you're like, okay, this must be like the end of it. This has to be the last possession. Croatia has the ball This is their last chance. If they score here, it's going to go to extra time if they don't It's over for them. They go home They score It was the most exciting goal. The crowd Absolutely nuts. The commentators are like the ball had come from somebody further away and and then it might have hit a guy in the middle might have touched his head and and then it reached the guy who scored the goal and they're like it wasn't off sides because when the ball actually made it, but they go to VAR They go to VAR because someone alleges that the ball did hit that guy on the head Ball hit that guy on the head. then the player that scored it was offside. If he didn't Then he would have been onside and it would have counted And they reviewed it We only saw one angle that I didn't love and they decided that yes, in fact Touched that guy's head so briefly. It didn't change direction. It was not consequential except for the fact that you can't do that And just touched hair game. I was just touched hair. was. crazy. It was also crazy b Yeah. I guess technically. But bald man would have incurred no penalty to have scored on the very last possible second where they go if they score here. you how many matches I've watched in this World Cup where it's like if they score here and they don't didn't. And so it was so exciting and then it wasn't exciting at all. Maybe I overranked it because I was so upset about that, but I rank that game. it. It was an intense because the Croatian fans also show up I know the Croatian fans went from so high to have to sit and watch, Oh, wait, maybe this is going to get reviewed. I know. it gets turned I crushing. I know. We've been going for so long Isabella has to plug her laptop in, but not before she lets us know we are at Number one. Number one and if you disagree with this, take it up with someone else. I don't want to hear from you. This so far, probably my match of the entire tournament. There's a lot of games left to be played, but I've got Argentina Num one in the world, defending champion up against Verd Cabo Verde number sixty seven. This is their first World Cup. They are the smallest nation by population to ever make it this far. theirir population is something like five hundred and sixty five thousand. They are a tiny island off the northwest coast of Africa Oh, you have it in here, five hundred thirty thousand people. Argentina, forty six point six million people. Cpe Very iss like half of Jacksonvill Crazy U Argentina wins the match. Ultimately three two. in extra time. It was tied one one after regulation. Here's how it went down. Cape Verd was down one nill. Then they tied it. one one Oh my God, it's tied between these two teams Then Argentina scores again, it's two one. Then o my God, Cape Verd ties it again to to. That was the goal That had the craziest celebration. It was like the craziest goal I've seen. It was the craziest celebration. The guy who scored it ran up into the crowd, waited, I believe was that his girlfriend? I asse was trying to Isabella. He ran up into the crowd. his all the fans were like, getet back out there because I didn't want him to get in trouble He's way he's looking for someone. l comes down and they kiss and she's like, go. No Tars in my eyes. I was like, this is so sweet. That's totally what Dan would do if he was an equalizer against Argentina. I know it. I know for sure You would wait to kiss me in the crowd This is the goal of the tournament two that shot from outside of the box far I just curled across the face of the keeper into the upper ninety Insane Sidney Cabral U Absolutely incredible. Vosina, the keeper who we've been talking about forty years old had eight saves in this match. He's a free agent, by the way. Do you think this is is that just wishful thinking that something like this is going to increase his value? I mean, he's forty. So I don't know the keepers can play Kepers can play older. like he's probably got a couple years playing A this level, if for nothing else, somebody cut this man a big check. He's got twenty seven million Instagram followers now. The world wants more Vzenia. bring him in. That's more than Tom Brady by the way He has more Instagram followers than Tom Brady, I believe. That's Br's going to take that person very person. And we'll see what he does about it. More on him in a second. After the game, seeing Messi and Vazinia, it was very sweet. Messi congratulated him. Voini said, I went up to Messi. after the game, he hugged me and said, You are great. Y people should be proud of you. That was incredible for me hearing words like that from someone like Leo Messi means a lot to me. I thanked him and said, Thankk you, Leo, you are the best. I asked if I could swap shirts. Leo said, he would give it to me in the tunnels after the interview. No word on if that happened, but I would hope he's a man of his word. But that is exactly what I would say if I didn't want to give you my shirt. I'd go, yeah, ye Find me in the tunnels. G great job again. Re really good job. Andy you walkking into theunnel? it was just inflatable lows, Messy waiting for him And you can't take the shirt off that thing. I asked. Here. you get this giant inflatable version of the. It's even bigger than the real thing. Congratulations. An incredible When they scored that second goal to tie it again, I was like, I cannot I can't believe this is gonna to happen. It was also wild the sky was opening up here in New York. I was heading home from a buddy's house where we'd been swimming all day and the sky was opened up and there was a rainbow I saw both ends of, which never happened I saw fully arr and I'm like, this is it They're gonna do it and like watching it, streaming it on a phone in the back seat of a car and then they didn't. ultimately end up winning They were the opposite of Parguay and that every time they went down a goal All they did was just bust their ass clean, play hard getet down the field and get another scoring chance. It's like every you could not keep them down. They got knocked down by the number one team in the world and kept getting back up. Wash I wanted that game to never end And it felt like five more minutes they score a goal One more minute. they score goal because they had them on the ropes the whole way and just the game happened to end when Argentino was up three two. He was crazy seeing Messi react when they scored. He was just like He was like, laughing. He wass like, And Vazine is stopping messy on the free kicks too like Yeah, throwing their best punches at them and Cape Fertdie, you could They had an answer for everything. They sure did. An incredible scene as the team returned home on Sunday, cars were lined up to watch the team lay. I feel like the whole country was there. um welcoming them home on the tarmac. Pretty awesome That's it. That is the round of thirty two ranked sixteen to one, an incredible round of soccer. I know there was a lot of commentary about the expanded field for the World Cup And what does my opinion mean? but it is my podcast, so I will share it I thought it provided some really great storylines. I thought round of thirty two was awesome. Round of sixteen is off to an incredible start and we will get you caught up on everything going on in that on our next second episode of the week because I believe that they take the day off Wednesday no matches at all. so we'll get you caught up on everything that happened in the round of sixteen in our next episode. and They also announced his ability to see this at the World Cup final halftime show is going to be Shiakira. Oh Madonna BTS. Ooh, interesting, okay So the South Korean coach who was already in a world of hurt for getting knocked out of the group stage must be, I think I heard he like He's hiding out in the United States because Imagine if they could have made it and BTS performing That time show K pop band and you got not Group stages Is Kid Rock also doing a halftime show?

Wlcome back Wimbledon's going on right now, notot just the World Cup. We also got tennis and you guys know tennis is Isabella's favorite sport, fair to say? Yeah. Yeah. And so I figured we would give Isabella chance to let us know some of her favorite things that have been happening in Wimbledon. It wraps up on Sunday Yes, Sunday. And so it's still ongoing Here are some superlatives that Isabella has decided from the action at Wimbledon so far. First up We have most likely to follow all the rules. So this one, I tried to find the nicest way to describe this superl And I chose Rory Mclrooy. Why? Because he wore his master's jacket to Wimbledon. Now I don't know if this is a thing Brady, I don't know if you want to You wears it anywhere.'s like, it's your trophy, but you don't wear it outside of the grounds of Augusta. I was like, imagine if Jayen Brunson once the US open and just had the Lry on his lap. Yeah. But low key I may like that. But lo you should do that. But loi Jayalen Brntson, you should probably do that. Apparently back in January on a podcast stick to football, he had said that there's like rules on what you do when you wear the jacket, like you have to sign a document to take it off the premises. You have to wear a certain shirt, a club tie and certain trousers. And apparently you can't be seen like have a shot of you drinking alcohol in it either Damn So he wore this to Wimbledon knowing that and he wouldn't be able to drink. That's And probably followed all the rules because we haven't seen any, you know, news headlines of him breaking any. So man. That's crazy that he said all that in January, which means It's deffinitely not the first time he's worn the jacket. Yeah, right? That's crazy. He's just out here wearing it to everything. The rules clearly they want you to not wear it anywhere el Exactly. He said the rules is don't wear this. He did say he said the only person that's allowed to bring the green jacket off the premises is the champion for a year. It then stayst club. It stays in your locker. And hasn't he been winning almost every year so far so He's wun Yeah. Chris, it feels like you wanted to take the opposite. You're fine with it. You would wear the jacket. Yeah. if I won the jacket, I get to do whatever I want with it. I can wear it I earn that right. Yeah. You're right Stanley Carp. I mean, I don't care. Yeah, Chris is like I'm wearing it's bed Chris is the heavyweight boxer that's just wearing the belt everywhere. Do you think you'reowed go? People don't know. You think you'd have to take the jackie off to go to the bathroom? That's kind of great. When you return it, they're like s quet how it looks. Sir, you pooped in this and we can tell. All right, next up for Isabella' Superlatives from Wimbledon, we have most likely to never give up. Alexyala. Oh my god. Okay, so she's from the Philippines Filip fines love her right now. She's number twenty nine and she justust recently got eliminated Um But she Ega Sotic Wh who's the number three and defending champion of Wimbledon Incredible, which is insane. But the thing that reason why I chose most likely to never give up is because in this match, She had an insane return where during the rally, she like fell on the ground and then she still somehow like crawled to the ball. And if you see a picture of it, she's literally in a plank with her hand like slightly holding her up and returns the ball over the net. Absurd. Insane. I'm too lazy for that. So That's why I't never give up. Can't relate. so she gets most likely to never I love that. I think That's fantastic. She's awesome. I can't wait for her to do more. Yeah, we'll be looking forward to seeing her in the future. Okay, and lastly, we have Biggest serve because I got two reasons for this. One is Well First of all, this goes to Naomi Osaka. U Her outfits are insane. I mean, we've been seeing her do like these like walk on fits where it's like super elaborate, but this time because obviously Wimbledon, you wear all white She had this like white ensemble that was inspired by like, I believe it was like a Japanese ceremonial dress That was designed by I have that name here. Hana Yagi I think that's how you say it. And there was like cherry blossoms on it. and if you when she took it off, like her tennis dress also had cherry blossoms kind of like poking out of it, I think in like mesh too. It was so pretty. And that's ser cool. is a complete serve. She was serving. And then another reason why is because her serve during her match, her serve in general has been fucking insane But recently she beat Sabalena, who's the world number one, which we all know, right We all knew that. We all knew that. Yeah, totally. She beat her in straight sets, right? straight sets. And her ser was just incredible. And I think that's what also really helped her in the tie brereak, which was in the second set. So Shout out her, shhout out her for bigiggest Serve. And then I got my little honorable mention, if I may, tack on to the end of your segment.ure Best hair for a romantic pair I was watching the coverage of the of, you know, of Wimbledon and I keep seeing, I didn't know Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro are dating. Yes, yes. The two of them have maybe the best hair couple Yeah ever seen. They're both just like with these gorgeous Lowy, It's like stunning And so it's got nothing to do with the tennis, but I did want to shout them out for best hair. I mean neither did Exactly. Best hair in a romantic pair. I cign that. Hell, yeah, thanks, Isabella. You're welcome. Okay, let's move on to sad stuff. Jalen Brown, Jesus Christ. This happened right after we recorded. We did all this stuff on NBA free agency last week and then find out, o, Jaylen Brown has been traded from the Celtics five time NBA all star twenty four NBA Finals MVP. Jalen Brown in case you're going, there must be another Jalen Brown. No, it's that one was traded to division rivals, the Philadelphia seventy sixers in exchange for thirty six year old Paul George. W! T first round picks in twenty twenty eight and twenty thirty one. I'll be dead by then Two second round picks Bucket of ass what they were received Um Brown, of course, coming off his wasn't this like one of his best seasons? Second teamA Whatas his best season statistically?. Yeah. fourth in the league in scoring No we haveixed in the league in VP voting. Crazy about him maybe being traded as part of that Yanis deal when the Celtics were maybe going to get Yanis. It was a tough pill to swallow. Some people didn't like it because they said it put us in that same situation where you'd have two big contracts that you have to pay. And some people liked it because it was like, you gott to pay whatever you got to pay to get Yanis into the And but so we didn't get Janest, just to recap. The Celtics did not get Yanis. you went to the heat and then still got rid of Jaylen Brown and in return got some picks. Paul George Very underwhelming However, okay. This is what I need Trust Brad Stinkins. I don't know if there's another move to be made for the rest of the summer where we can flip poul George and those picks to get something else. I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know all of the information but from initial you know view of what we got for Jalen Brown. That ain't great. Now the twenty twenty eight first round pick could potentially be really good because it's going to be the most favorable pick between a clippers pick, a spurs pick, a seventy six' pick or a Celtics pick So conceivably if the clippers end up being pretty poor over the next couple years, which is relatively likely, this could end up being a top five Oh then o great P prettyty good. And that twenty thirty one pick is an unprotected Philly pick and by then they wouldn't have ustalian Brown the team, you would think they wouldn't have Joellen Be on the team. So again, that could be another potentially top ten pick. So those are somewhat valuable Met in your calendar guy who is thirty years old. Oh, thirty ty and who has now gotten accustomed to the lifestyle of being the number one guy on a team He said this year was his favorite year in the NBA so far, a year in which the Celtics did not win the NBA title, a year in which we fell in the first round to the Philadelphia seventy six s in seven games, but a year in which he was able to be the number one player on the team because Jason Tatum was out for ninety percent of the season So This it was sort of the time for the Celtics to trade him to get something back for him to get a Um, contract in Paul George is that expires one year earlier than Jayalen Brown, so you have a little bit more flexibility in your cap Um, Yeah, it's this is sort of me just trying to grasp at straws and to make myself feel a little bit better. but there are you sound like you believe it. so' I'm happy. I what they are doing. I don't think it's as bad as a lot of publications are making it out to be, but it's still not great. I love Jayen Brown. I want to Boston love Jalen Brown. We've talked about this before with like Ray Devers. I know Mookkey Bts is the bigger teams looking at the numbers in a balance sheet as opposed to You know, the the full whatever a player brings to a team. like Jayen Brown meant a lot to Boston. He was he did a lot of charitable work around the city. He was like really beloved by the city of Boston and that means Absolutely nothing when you've got this second apron or whatever called where they've got to figure out how to be under this cap that is And it just sucks. It's just a bummer to a casual fan or a fan that just likes players for who they are as people to have to go like, Ohh, well, if you run the numbers, it actually could maybe make sense. Inead, it's like we lose Jayalen Brown and we get ul George who I know had a pretty decent performance in the playoffs last year. I remember specifically going o, playoff P went off had a great game. Anyway, it just the whole thing is kind of a mess. I did want to bring up Did you guys see the six year old boy who loves Jayen Brown reacting? Can we please play this clip? Be it's the cutest, saddest thing Well be so much than you are Cid you be that? He A you are thank you. Thank you Thank you I genuinely am not like playing it up that genuinely brings tears to my eyes. He's so sad And to be six years old and to have the presence of mind to say thank you at a sad moment is so like it really struck me like I cried the first time I because he just purely is feeling his feelings. He's like so much for everything You are my favorite player. His name is Go. he's six And I don't know if you saw this as avail, but Jaylen Brown commented on the video and said, It's okay, little bro. we will always be friends. Not with that jersey no. That's right. And then I think Gio responded it basically was like, Ohh, I can be a fan of both. And now GO, we can talk about that later. I don't know I don't know if you can be a Sixers and Celtics fan, but we'll make an exception for you. We can suspend your suspension on that one. I'll talk to to FIFA and I'll let them know Um, ust it's a it's a bummer. It's sad. It's sad for the city Sure, maybe there's more to come. Maybe we should trust in Brad Stevens. Maybe there's something else that's I just can't see it yet LeBron What what if what if this is all a way to bring LeBron in for a year And then, like, you know what I mean? And dropics I likeous dropics. I don't like the people are now saying like this proves that Jayen Brown and Jason Tatum don't like each other And they pulled up Tatum's statement and they said it was like very boilerplate because, you know But I think he said like, you know, nice stuff We also don't know what he said in private as well. He could have rang him immediately and said, Mate this sucks hate that you're leaving I mean, what could you possibly say other than what Go said? Like shhort of that What can you say that would make people go, wow, they really liked each other So it's a bummer. And Jaylen went on and as he does, he streams a lot and he went on and said that he doesn't feel like they he said I wasn't thrilled with the amount of respect that was shown during this process So Whatever that means, we'll keep an eye on it, but Jalen Brown training into the seventy sixers and Paul George and Mitchell Robinson to the Celtics. So Everything's coming up slty You never know. Met just wasn't there for him. I don't know why I just wasn't there. You never know U All right, the big news from the weekend, something that you've probably heard so much about and look, in the era of misinformation, it was so hard this weekend to parse what was real and what wasn't when it came to this royal wedding at Madison Square Garden between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. Leading up to the event, people were Dumb struck off foundounded. Dumb foundounded off dumb struck Dumb foundounded and awestruck that they were confused by the fact that it was happening in MSG. A lot of people were like, No, she wouldn't. This is a ruse. This is not real. It's just going to be something else. The real wedding happened in Rhode Island or the real wedding will be taking place The Penn station trains will take all these famous guests away to the actual ceremony because she would never have her wedding at Madison Square Garden. she gotarried Madison Square Garden. They got married Madison Square Garden this weekend. Congratulations to the beautiful couple One thousand Chris is not clapping. Let it be noted. Chris did not clap. Ch cannot care. Why do you hate love? You couldn't care any less No. All right, well, they got married in front of a an intimate ceremony of one thousand A lot of people reported on who was there. We've got a master guest list in front of us here and there were look, like I said, a lot of headlines about this wedding. But for the sake of time and also for the sake of, it's hard to verify most of this stuff. I thought we could discuss this wedding through the conceit of a bit And that bit is one that rings relatively true to me as someone who eventually is going to plan a wedding. O. And you'll realize how fast you can get to a thousand people if you want to. Really Interesting the listening you're like You know, you put somebody on there like that person needs a plus one. Well, what about his brother? Well, okay, well also, you know, we have family everything speed so fast. I mean, I did it did look like George Kittdle's parents were invited, which I was like, that's But anyway, outside of the friends and family of it all, we've got a list in front of us of all the big names and there are a lot Big celebrity names Brady, Can you just read off randomly from the list a couple of the big names? Baking section here we go Patrick Mahomes, Paul McCartney, Paul Rudd, Pete Wentz, Peayton Manning Reese Witherspoon, Rich Eisen. likeike that's just the P to R section and that's starting after Pat McAfee and Pat Monaahan from trarain. Okay, Pat Monoghan from Train. What the fuck was he doing there? That was crazy. And he got a plus one. I was like, excuse. Anyway, there's a lot of people that got invited. so I thought it would be fun for us to, you know, typically wedding tables Seat about eight So I wanted us all to build our ideal table using the confirmed relatively confirmed list of guests that Brady compiled for us, the master list of eight people at a table, who would you have? Going first is going to be the guy who clearly cares about this the least It's our master editor, Chris, Chris, who would be your table? and why of eight at Taylor and Travis He's wearing jeans, by the way, clear Me. Adam Sama because Aama U Adam Scott We assume that this is the Adam Scott the actor and not the Australian golfer. Either way I'd haveam either of those Adam Scottts on my table. Adam Scott love Parks and recck can talk about Parks and record day. Beck was heavily in Tuebec in the late two thousands. when I was W he Dicko? Isn't he like famous? a horrendous hang? Could be. Okay. You don't care. I don't know. but you'll find out for sure We'll find out a repash Jolly day. I was I was from studying first. I was actually the first person in my school and perhaps in all of Melbourne to really get into it's alwaysways suunny It was like the third episode of thir season. What a mster time My dad showed me it was the second or third episode and my dad showed me episode because he' like I saw episode one I think you'd like it Check it out And I told all my friends about it, they told all their friends about it. I don't know if it's always Sny would have made it to Australia had it not been for me. Wow. So I gota tell Charlie Dave that. Okay, knows. Fantastic.'d say, Hey, thanks Yep then not talk to you for the rest of the night That's fine. Greta Gowig Okay L lot of Greta Girwig movies I love. I want to talk to her about filmaking.'s phen filmak Stehven Spielberg Spelberg. Stehven Spielberg. Wow. sameame reason. Practice before you sit down at the table I probably should I just get nervous and I'd probably just mumble like that. And then Steven Colbet as my number right Okay, no plus one for Chris at the table. I guess Chris is rolling so low to the wedding so he could fit more famous people for the guy who said he couldn't care less. All right, Isabella, your turn. Who is your table at the Taylor Swift Travis Kelsey wedding extravaganza? Yeah, one we got me. We got Bay, My bay. That's right. a plus one. I'm bringing my plus one. Next up, we got Ethan Hawk Wellat man? just because I like him. I like his acting. One of my favorite white guys. So far. So I'll have Zoe Kravz I think she'll be a good time. I think she And then like we'll have a corner. I have like subgroups. You know how at some point you create a subgroup at a table? Totally. So my subgroup will be like me, my partner, Ethan Hawk and like Zoe Kravitz when we want to have like a more serious conversation about art And then also have Donald Glover there to kind of come in and out, maybe do a little bit of a serious conversition, but then also have some funniness. And then we also need some more funny people. So I got Conan O'Brien and I got Paul Rud Great. loveove those two guys. And then a fun, interesting one will be Dakota Johnson. Oh, I think she's a sneaky fun time. Yeah Interesting Interesting. I had her as a dark horse for my table, but I'll let you have her, but I am gonna also take Conan. Brady. what's it's your turn now through very hard Full disclaimer, I don't hear very well, so half of this table at the wedding is going be completely useless to me. I'm just gonna see you and that's it. Great. So I got me, I got my wife who would be ecstatic and wondering who I killed to get an invite to the Swift wedding Proably my only chance to ever sit and hang with Tom Hanks. So Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are going to be with me. It's nice you to include their date as well. Obviously, I'm not inviting these people to this table andm not giving them a plus one. Yeah, I am. so anyway, keep going. Um, Kind of out a left fld, but this one, maybe for my wife, maybe for me, I feel like we have to have somebody from the Swift verse because she's gonna want that experience. Cam Saunders would be at my table Cam is one of Taylor Swift's daners He is. Possibly the greatest vibe on the planet. He also his brother plays on the chiefs. They are both about the same size as defensive linemen Um, he's just like Ball of energy, having seen like the Erist Tour documentary and stuff, he just seems like the best hang Cam is my Cam and his plus one would be in my table. and then seats seven and eight Lana Del Ray And the alligator guy. because goddamn do I have questions for them? And he got invited If she's got a plus one, I assume her she' got to be on there. Does she have a plus one? Well, I do have a contingency. if L Lana Del Ray doesn't get a plus one. Th then Kevin Burhartt gets that HC because you know what? sometometimes I need a safe pick and I know Kevin Burkhart and I can just be like Kevin, I can't believe we're here. You want to just talk baseball for a while I cannot a solid eighth and I have something to do with' very solid. That is very solid and I appreciate it, which means it's my turn. Now I didn't necessarily do this ahead of time. but let me just go off top ahead. So it's going to be me and Dan, obviously because I got to laugh at this whole thing with my plus one. So Chris, I just want to reiterate person who didn't you know what? I'm getting rid of Beck in It's too late you'd rather you a bigger w. You horious dickhead. Iszzy Beck. You your daughter, she should be the only child at this wedding. That's al right.. I found a way to be a bigger asshole at this wedd. She was She was the only she was the only kid Jordan Shustum's wedding. she stole the show. Thank you very much Okay. All right, so it's me and Dan to start off our table. Next I'm really tempted to bring Ashanty just so I can tell her how much it meant to me that she was representation for girls with sideburns. Growing up, nobody had sideburns. I did, she did. Representation matters. shhout out Ashanty, I love you forever U, Not at my table But we are going to be making fun of Dean Blandino. how the fuck did Dean Blandino get invited to Taylor Swift's wedding Dean Blandino, failed stand up comedian who became the rules analyst. He used to be the head of officiating for the NFL. And now he's like the guy who pops in and goes like, Yeahah, here's how that works. Here's the rule and what was He got invited T' to Taylor Swift's wedding that's absolutely absurd. You don't need to have him at your table. You just bring him in via satellite like four times a rule on whether or not that last piece of bread goes to me or if it goes to who else is sitting at my table? Okay, so it's me and Dan, I said And maybe Ashanty, but I reserve the right to go back on that Conan O'Brien, I know Isabella took, but he would be at my table because like that would truly be the person I genuinely most wanted to meet and talk to and hang out with at this wedding. So I'd be hanging out with Conan O'Brien and laughing with him, which would be just a dream. Um I am really tempted to choose Emma Stone, I also like just love Emma Stone. She's a big Jeopardy fan. She has shit on celebrity Jeopardy and said that it doesn't count if you go on celebrity Jeopardy and that she would never do it and would only want to do real jeopardy. So maybe that would sour our relationship, but I think maybe I just wouldn't bring up that I was on it and instead would talk to her about Jeopardy in general as a San Then I would have Michael Straayhan at my table. Now, I don't know if he's on the list here, but if you watch Good Morning America They all got invited. George Stefanopouis, Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan and when they were talking about it the morning after, Straayhan appeared to be the only one who was a little critical of them all being invited and confused about why they were there. He was very nice. He was like, and thank you to them for inviting us to this but it was A little weird that the entire cast of Good Morning America was invited to the And so I'd have him there just as like a skeptical person to laugh at stuff with. How many am I at at this point? You're at six. Okay. we're getting we're kicking sorry, Ashanti actually kicking her off. and that's fine because she'd want to be with Nelly anyway, and we don't have room for both of them. So sorry to Ashanti But I would bring in u With my next member of my table, Mike Vel and Nice. I thought about him too Because I have a lot of questions. And I think between me and Conan O'Brien, and since my table would be near Isabella's table, I could probably get Dakota Johnson to She seems like the kind of person who would be unafraid to go like what happened with you and your Did you see the video of Mike Rabel, who again was invited to this wedding? and I'm not really sure why. Did you see the video of him and his wife getting into the car to come to Taylor Swift and Traisell'sedding I did not. What would you think if it were Mike Rel and his wife after all that has happened in the off season, the allegations of infidelity, etceta What would you think if you were Mike Rabel's PR? How would you have advised that the two of them interact? It's the two of them leaving a hotel and getting into a car? Oh, you know, walking out, hands holding. Then he opens up the car door, lets her in, then falls, goes back into the car with her. like that? Yeah I also would have advised that. That is the that is not what happened. Oh It was giving Justin Bieber Haley where he he just skates away. He walked ahead of her. He goes first, beelines for the car, opens the door, gets in. And then she's just like, okay, and then she gets in. Now Dan did point out to me, Hey, he gets in and goes to the back car, which I was like Okay, Yeahah. better than I guess getting in and sitting in the first available seat making everybody cry over you. But I mean, Vel, what the fuck? And so how many am I at now? that's six? That's seven. you had the option to have his But I kicked out her sh. No, she's not She's not six I'm at six And then I would, I mean, there's so many all the cl on sit at one table. Yeah, they got included. They got to sit away from me. Then I would at seven I'm having spice because I got questions. I don't know if you guys saw Michael Rubin from Fanatics who has a white party. Usually that's the day that it was fourourth of July weekend, But he moved it because he said, quote, he didn't want people to have to choose between the Fanatics White Party or the Taylor Travis wedding.' right Right He didn't want them to make that choice. Because what do we think that choice would have been Nobody would have gone to the White party. So they moved it up a couple days and two stories came out of it that caught my that caught my eye. One was reported by a gossip mag about Tom Brady. They said that he spent most of the party talking to Tiana Taylor And then at the end of the night disappeared for a little with Alex Earl. So questions there, but more important questions is that we saw a picture Buzz Sice Kissing Be McGuire Aw What do you mean A Well, doesn't MJ have orange hair like some like? Okay, so you're alleging he's got a type. Yeah. Well usually the type is like Yacht girl from what I understand. Didn't Toby get in trouble at the last one of these for leaving with a twenty one year old or something? who I believe is fifty two. Very old, very old and looks it, but rightight after the White Party last year was, I think when he did that pap walk with his children and he was like, me and all my kids out at the store to be like, I'm a family guy instead of the narrative that was running around him, which was that he left with a really young lady from the D not spy how fast Icepiceices publish is mobilized What do you mean, storory What did they say? They came out and said, no, no, no, no, they weren't kissing. It's just a bad camera angle. All they were doing was talking and sharing a vape. Fair enough. I mean, I guess that's a good explanation, as good as any unless you've seen the photo. where they're clearly kissing. Yes. No kissing. She was just exhaling the vape smoke. You can't waste a vape sm You can't waste vape smoke. You gotta blow He doesn't know how fruit flavored bullshit right into his mouth. that's I mean, if you're gonna to kiss Spidererman, at least do it upside down.ice spice. All right, your're seven, pressures's on. Oh, it's my last pick It's like, do I take it seriously or do I goof off? I think my last pick, I think I'm sitting with Lena Dunham because Did you hear what she said in her speech? In her speech the night before they had like a smaller gathering the night before of I don't know, one hundred people, I think, was their rehearsal dinner. And she gave a speech in which she said that American football is just straight guys reenacting gay porn. And apparently the room did not like it. And I think that's veryny. I would kill for an audio. Yes. I want an audio. Yeah. And so I just want her there so that she can say something that would make Mike Fel uncomfortable. It mainly seems to be the thesis statement of my entire wedding table. Um A lot of incredible guests, sorry to Simone Biles who I would love to sit next to and see all the different ways that she can sit on a chair. What was Sasha Baron Cohen doing there? I feel like is the biggest question mark for me? I mean, if you're just a fan and you're like, hey Do think Sasha Baron Cohen to show up. Do you think it's so they can say my wife You think it was so that Travis could have him go My wife. Fuck, that sounds like a real scenario. That's exactly what it was. I also heard The fact that he hadam Adam Sandler officiate the wedding. and it's very possible that he had Sasha Ber and Co in there just to say my wife. Adam Sandler officiating. and I heard twenty minutes each for vows No, he doesn't know twenty minutes worth of words. Well, I was going to say Travis was just four sentences. It just took him a minute, you know? Taylor had a lot of interesting and eloquent and beautiful stuff to say. Travis just struggled to get through to say squirrel. He didn't run how to pronounce squirrel. Um Congratulations to them. inccredible. defefinitely a spectacle. I heard they recorded it guuests were informed that they were recording the whole thing. So if it is being released for content, like moths to a flame, we will watch. I'm sure and there will be plenty, hopefully put the drama out there. An drama that happened I do want to see it's going through twenty rounds Yeah, Well, maybe what if they didn't instead? I know. I want the mess. I know, I want all the mess. Okay, And then the last thing we have is a fun little segment here. I don't know if you guys saw this last week, Jorge Pisada, a Yankees legend, who famously Isabella, I know you weren't around for this, but I do feel as a Rd sox fan, it is my responsibility to tell you, Jorge Pisada was the most famous with me for reportedly pissing on his hands all the time treat his calluses. in the field? No No. Sorry, I should's right, she's right I should' have specified. I was like, baseball was once different. No no. But as a child, if your name is Pissada, which sounds enough like piss and you're a Yankee and I hate you and that story comes out, Jorge Pisada, That's backstory for you But he's a Yankees legend He went on a podcast. We can't play you a clip of it because he says it in Spanish. but he says, here's the English translation of what he said on Ariando spports He said, I can't watch today's baseball Watch it. Kirk Kirb Street of football and dog fame agreed, retweeted, went on some rant about how he also finds baseball to basically be at this point Watchable. Now you, dear listener, might think that we at casuals disagree with that. We talk about baseball a lot, and I love baseball But actually I agree is unwatchable. And I I've got three pieces of evidence here present to you to prove it. exhibit A Fourth of July game between the Chicago Cubs and the Stain. Louis Cardinals A fog so so thick descended upon this game Infielders said they could not see the ball Conditions were so bad that when the Cardinals attempted to challenge a pitch The Umpire announced that the call stands because the ABS system was quote operational at the moment. The fog was so thick that if you look at pictures, you can't see anything I'll do it. Watchable Literally unwatchable unwatchable. They ended up delaying the game for fifteen minutes in the sixth inning and then the Cardinals go on to win three nothing, but still Unwatchable Exhibit B The Omaha Storm Chasers. That's a minor league team They are the AA affiliate of the CaseC Royals. Last I check They postponed one of their games recently, the Omaha Storm Chasers did because of a storm And You can't to watch the storm chasers, you couldn't because they were chasing a storm. Exhibit C off why Jorge Pisada is right and baseball is unwatchable. During the Mariners's hot doogs from heaven promotion over the weekend, which I'm sure you all know, but in case you don't is when hot dogs fall from the sky with little parachutes on them. One of the onene of the parachutes and hot dogs got caught on the camera, temporarily blocking the camera so that you could not watch The baseball game There glizz in everyone's face. Git. Oh my Godd, Isabella That lens was blizzed out Budny aboard. sayaying I'm bored during a podcast I'll wrap it up. We'll wrap it up. Oh I fanics on what to say. I'm sorry. The hot dog did eventually fall, prompting huge cheers from the crowd at the game, but still that crowd agrees with me If a hot dog is blocking your camera, unwatchable. And for those three reasons, I think they're right. Sometimes baseball truly is Unwatchable But obviously we love it But now that now jokes aside, we do love baseball. One thing did happen that fuc piss me off in baseball this weekend and I know Brady knows what it is Okay This was when was this? Was this Sunday This was Sunday. Yeah. S Sunday because I was on I was listening to it on the drive home from the women's Lacrosse League all star gameapolis. All All Brady was at women's sporting events live supporting team is Ssaye. Okay, who want to around for the second half Brady? I did not make it to the end Extreme hot. It was a back the men's game It was very hot And now I'm sure that was a callback to when Brady incorrectly said the score of a WNBA game, but funny that it worked out for you Ch. Isn't that delicious? was. So the Marlinons played the As, right? The As this team without a city, but they played in Sacramento against the athletics and through seven innings Yuri Perez had a perfect game Isabelle, do you remember what a perfect game is? Yes So it's no walks, no hits, no errors, Nobody from the other team gets on base to have that through seven innings is very difficult You might be thinking was his pitch count really high? Not really. Brady, what was it? ninety three? ninety two. ninety two when suddenly The Marlin's manager comes out and takes him of the game Absly saf So I guess the reasoning would be he had recently had I think a season ago or two seasons ago, he had Tommy John surgery. and his third start off the IL Third start off the IL. He was ninety something pitches in. and so that's the I guess reasoning, but still The fuck. A guy's got a perfect game going. somethingomething that has only happened twenty four times in baseball history. twenty six if you count Ernie Sharan Amano Galaraga. I don' twenty four times in baseball history. In baseball. History somethingomething that baseball takes very seriously that has gone on for a long time It rarely happens. He had it through seven They take him out Best part of the story. The Marllands rep ate nothing when he came out Reliever, Lake Baker and I'm sorry to this man gave up the perfect game The no hitter and the shutout in only three batters The batter he faces, he walks them. There goes the perfect game Batter Hits a single. there goes the no hitter Third batter RBI double They've now scored a run There goes the shutout. Then He walks another guy. the bases are loaded, Ne batter, Grandlam That's really annoying Absolutely insanely poetic ending to taking your pitcher out when he's got a perfect game in the seventh inning for the guy to come in and just completely blow it almost to the point whereere they lost. They almost lost. They scored again. thank God because they ended up winning nine eight A fans, again, the team that was being Perfect game, no hit was not allowed on base Even they were upset with the decision. Do we have that clip Here we go They're saying shame right now. Yes They shamed the Marls take a guy out in the seventh inning. I understand his arm might explode. but that to the theater of it all. He had a perfect game through eight when his elbow exploded. We'll remember him for that forever Take a shot at being absolutely legendary. Like when you have that chance Those things that ring out for the entirety of baseball history takeake a chance at it Yes, it's a team game yes we're trying to win a worldld series to minimize the opportunity
