What If America Treated Soccer Like Football

The World Cup has us doing something we never do: watching full soccer matches from start to finish, then arguing like we’ve been fans for years. That obsession turns into a bigger question we can’t shake: if the United States has endless athletes, why can’t we consistently build a great soccer program that actually scares the top countries?

We talk youth sports access and the quiet “gatekeeping” that keeps city kids out of the pipeline, then compare it to how other sports scout and develop talent. From there we get into the stuff every new soccer fan wrestles with, like flopping, video review, and the offside rule that can wipe out a goal by inches. We’re learning in real time, but we’re also calling out how media narratives and marketing decide who becomes the face of U.S. soccer.

Then we shift to the WNBA, where the conversation around Caitlin Clark has gotten loud, messy, and sometimes unfair. We debate physical play, “earned calls,” roster cuts, expansion, and why league PR choices can backfire when the spotlight is this bright. We also get into NIL money, the transfer portal, and what it means when schools profit while players fight for freedom.

Tap in for the jokes, stay for the real takes, and if you rock with the show, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review. What’s the biggest thing holding U.S. soccer and the WNBA back right now?

Getting Hooked On The World Cup

SPEAKER_00 7:55

Hey, I want to know how many of y'all have been consumed. I want the floor just to let everybody know that I have not watched this much soccer. Maybe I said this on another one.

SPEAKER_04 8:12

Football.

SPEAKER_00 8:13

Dude, I've not watched this. I think I've watched eight or maybe nine from the very beginning to the very end. Now, I mean, you might change the channel once, but I'm right there with you.

SPEAKER_02 8:29

I'm all looking at my phone. What time is it game? What time does that?

SPEAKER_00 8:32

Yeah, my bad. I've never watched that much soccer ever in my life. Time this match started, man. And I'm still locked in. Some people, they figured they wouldn't be locked in because the USA lost. First off, uh I mean, we all knew the US.

SPEAKER_02 8:46

I mean, yeah, that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_00 8:49

I was just hoping that they would. And another question that I have, I want people, shout out to uh Dan Patrick. He had Kevin Frazier from uh Entertainment Tonight on. I know a lot of people don't realize Kevin Frazier has an extensive uh sports background, and I guess he's tapped into soccer. If y'all can go find Kevin Frazier's uh interview when he was on Dan Patrick, he went off. And I don't even know that much about soccer. I'm learning, but I can tell you the way they play over there in Europe, and I can tell you the little academies and stuff that we have here. Hold on, I got it right here. Hold on.

SPEAKER_07 9:38

Oh, is we gotta stop Alexi Lawless, man. What's going on? What's happening? Alexi, slow down, bro. Slow down. I mean, I've been listening to some of his things that Dr. Terry on the first time.

Soccer Gatekeeping And City Kids

SPEAKER_07 11:48

Something weird going on. It's like what's happening? Uh soccer is gatekeeping and they're keeping all these kids out of the city. The best kids we have, they're not getting through.

unknown 11:58

Listen, man.

SPEAKER_00 11:59

Hey, shout out to DP.

SPEAKER_04 12:01

Soccer's not the only one that's doing it.

SPEAKER_00 12:03

No, but but no, but this is what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_04 12:06

It's even baseball damn sure did it.

SPEAKER_00 12:10

Yeah, but see, the the one good thing with with baseball, like they have black people. They but they're the Afro-Latinos.

unknown 12:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:19

So that's playing.

SPEAKER_02 12:20

Yeah. So ML MLB, they actively go to these Latino countries and scout players. Actively go there. Right? So that's why there's so many Afro-Latinos.

SPEAKER_04 12:34

They don't actively go down the hood and scout no damn body. No, they don't.

SPEAKER_02 12:37

They don't. No, right, exactly. Because they actively go, because overseas.

SPEAKER_04 12:42

You one of them gatekeepers, too. No, I'm not defending these mothers.

SPEAKER_02 12:45

Listen, listen, listen, let me finish. It's because they know down there, those kids want to play. Like they, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:52

We really don't want to play.

SPEAKER_02 12:53

They don't really want to play other than football.

SPEAKER_00 12:56

We back football, basketball, and track. At least that's what I did.

SPEAKER_04 13:02

That's what the high school coaches tell them to play. They reserve that for the problem, right?

SPEAKER_00 13:08

They either reserve that for the the or they sit up there other ones. And they have you, or they just have you playing uh like just one sport. I couldn't I could not imagine playing like just one sport. From all the time. Yeah, yeah. From eight to you gotta do something else. Yeah. I mean, you sit up here, you play football. Football is over, you play basketball, basketball, champions and shit. We've had guys that, okay, if they ain't play basketball, they wrestled. If they ain't run track, they play baseball. And it was encouraged. Yeah. A couple guys played.

SPEAKER_04 13:47

The only bad thing about that was them football players when it came to basketball, they used to hold a spot for them because they couldn't come. If they went to the playoffs, yeah. Right. They couldn't come to tryouts, they couldn't come to practice.

SPEAKER_00 13:58

But if they're the best players, if they're the best players on the team, that was me. I mean, I'm not the best player on the team. I'm just saying. I mean So they basically automatically had a spot. Yeah, we ain't had to try out. I mean, if that was.

SPEAKER_04 14:12

So you're unless you was you wanted to bump one of them motherfuckers, you had to be good. Yeah, yeah. So but a lot of good kids got bumped because they had to make room for the football players. Yeah. Well, then they weren't that good. No, they weren't.

SPEAKER_00 14:26

Oh, they were real good. Maybe at your school.

SPEAKER_04 14:28

The coach, the coaches is fickle. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 14:32

Well, anyway, back to soccer.

SPEAKER_04 14:35

All right, back to soccer. We didn't have soccer down there. We didn't know what the fuck that was.

SPEAKER_00 14:39

Listen. Football. All I know is living here in Phoenix, obviously y'all know we're based in Phoenix, Arizona, and listening to Kevin Frazier that lives in California, where there's a big uh Latino community here in Phoenix and California. And do we even have any uh Latino players? I was surprised to see as many black players as I saw in the USA. I was like, there's a couple of things.

SPEAKER_02 15:10

I mean, I know there was a kid, there's a guy from El Paso, because I remember him. He's from El Paso.

SPEAKER_00 15:15

Everybody knew when they found out that he was an MLS goalkeeper, which is, you know, for us, we'd be like, okay, hell yeah, MLS. But you know, you need a goalkeeper from over there. Now I'm just speaking as being an average fan because I don't know nothing about soccer.

SPEAKER_04 15:54

Because you know, we don't really, I don't even like tearing people down. But I'm just gonna give you what I thought, because I heard about this kid when he was what, 17, 18? So I'm like, oh, America got a Messi or Mbappe. I'm just saying. When I heard about Mbappe, when I heard about Vinny Jr. and Ronaldo or Ronadinho, and you did watch, even though I didn't watch a full game, even when I watched these people, they still jumped off the page. You can tell, like Randy Moss jumps off the page, T.O. jumps off the page, Antonio Brown. And I watched this dude, and I'm sitting up here like, oh damn. Oh, so this is the best player for the United States. And analytically, since people want to talk about analytics, they say he really isn't the best player. He's probably the seventh or the eighth best player.

SPEAKER_02 21:01

He's got the most value of all the players on the plus, let's just say it, he's white.

SPEAKER_00 21:06

So they're gonna push, they're gonna push the white person. I mean, I'm just gonna call it what it is. But hey, they don't push that.

SPEAKER_02 21:14

Especially for the U.S., yeah. Yeah, U.S. don't push that, do they?

Then you got the Norwegian or the dude from Norway. This dude like 6'5, 210. Running over everybody. He looked like uh Ivan Drago. Out there, man. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:03

So the question was like, how do you claim where you're from? So like I can say I'm from Texas.

SPEAKER_04 26:12

You're from nowhere.

SPEAKER_02 26:14

Why not?

SPEAKER_04 26:14

Because you from nowhere.

SPEAKER_02 26:16

Why can't I claim Texas? That's what my point is.

SPEAKER_00 26:18

So where do you claim? I claim Texas. I tell you, this is how I look at it. Where did you say that?

SPEAKER_02 26:26

But we spent more than half our lives here.

SPEAKER_00 26:28

You're from the but you're adult. You were an adult.

SPEAKER_02 26:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 26:32

So yeah. That's why when I tell people, I've been out here 23 years. They'd be like, oh, you're a native. No, absolutely not. No, I'm not a native.

SPEAKER_04 26:41

You're not a native.

SPEAKER_00 26:42

I was born and raised in Ohio. So uh elementary school, high school, college. I moved out here as an adult. Now all my adulthood has been spent out here. But the way I look at it is you're from where you went to high school.

SPEAKER_04 27:03

That's how it is where you're from, is where you get all your values, pretty much. Which is where you raised.

SPEAKER_00 27:11

Yeah, well, my hey, I got mine from Macron, Ohio, then.

SPEAKER_04 27:14

See what I mean? Like because I spent I was.

SPEAKER_02 27:16

That's why I couldn't be no native. Okay, give us your years. Give us your year reality. So I spent half my use in the Texas.

SPEAKER_00 27:24

What year were you born? 77, 78. So you were 78 and you were born in Colorado. So you were born in 78.

SPEAKER_02 27:34

I was born in Colorado.

SPEAKER_00 27:35

And how long did y'all spend in Colorado? Not that long. And from Colorado, where did y'all go?

SPEAKER_02 27:40

I want to say we probably lived in. So you got to throw Colorado out. So Texas for a little bit, then I lived in Maryland, back to Texas, New York, back to Texas, Germany, Germany to Washington. And then Washington. Because I always say that y'all from Washington.

SPEAKER_00 27:59

You're a refugee.

SPEAKER_04 28:01

You're a refugee.

SPEAKER_00 28:02

Did y'all go to high school? We went to high school in Washington. Ninth through twelfth grade? So yeah, that's why I just say that y'all are from Washington.

SPEAKER_02 28:09

But I don't really claim Washington like that. Yes, I live there, but I don't have no family there. You don't want to claim I got family in other places. No, it's just that I like my roots is Texas. I spent a lot of my youth in Texas, so that's why I claimed.

SPEAKER_04 28:23

See, well, I look at it as where you're claiming what the fuck you would claim from.

SPEAKER_00 28:29

Well, I'm claiming I'm from Compton. Shit.

SPEAKER_04 28:32

See, I got relatives in Compton. I have relatives in the Company. But the thing is, I I I see I grew up in Alabama, so my mentality, my values, everything is Alabama. Alabama. Mannerism.

SPEAKER_02 28:45

Hospitality. Actually born and raised in Alabama to you as an adult. Yeah. So that's why. And that's what the conversation I was having with them is like. You know, people. Who asked you that fuck a question? It was a listener. You know who it was. Hey, we get we get little emails. That's a co-worker. Oh, it's a listener question. How you claim? Because it was asking about the show. Because we always say, like, where we from.

SPEAKER_04 29:08

It was a female. Where's she from?

SPEAKER_02 29:10

She's from Washington. It's your biggest fan. It's your biggest fan.

SPEAKER_04 29:13

She claimed Washington.

SPEAKER_02 29:15

Yeah, she's from Washington. She out of Washington. Sonora. Washington State. So it's your biggest fan.

SPEAKER_04 29:23

It rains a lot up there. It does rain a lot up there.

SPEAKER_00 29:26

Hey, Bruce Lee is buried in uh Seattle.

SPEAKER_04 29:29

That's probably why it's raining a lot. Probably. But if you're super.

SPEAKER_02 29:34

But I'm just saying, I mean, it's like for me, it's tough because I'm a military bat, so I've been a lot of places. See, that's why I always wonder. I know.

SPEAKER_00 29:41

How do they claim where they're from? So that's why I always say it is where you went to high school.

SPEAKER_03 29:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:51

Did y'all ever play little league football or y'all started playing in high school?

SPEAKER_02 29:54

I played little league football. But see, I played little league football in Germany. Right before I moved to Washington. Oh, damn.

SPEAKER_01 30:01

I know that's running over the little German kids. I know that's right. It was American.

SPEAKER_00 30:05

Was it? It was all basic. It's all basic kids. Oh, okay, okay. I won't, I won't, I won't talk crazy.

Would We Ever Play Soccer

SPEAKER_00 30:11

No, it was all basic. I will. Did you ever think about playing soccer?

SPEAKER_02 30:14

No.

unknown 30:15

Never.

SPEAKER_00 30:16

That's a lot of running. Never. You know, they run like nine. They jogging. They run nine to ten miles.

SPEAKER_01 30:23

After the ball passed them up, they started walking. Then the ball comes back to them. Then they run. You look at soccer players. They sprint. Man, they legs as big as hell, dog. Yeah, they run a lot. They run a lot. I'm not saying they don't. I'm just saying they do a lot of walking too. Hey, that's what that's games I was watching.

SPEAKER_00 30:37

Now, here's our next challenge. Okay. We're going to go out to one of these little uh fields with the Mexicans. Hell no. And we're going to play in the game.

SPEAKER_01 30:46

Nah, no. I can't even kick right now. I like my ACLs.

SPEAKER_00 30:49

We're just going to play goalie. I'm just going to be like, let me play goalie.

SPEAKER_01 30:53

I'm going to be played, I'm going to play coach. I'm going to be on the side like taking notes. I'm going to stay in one spot. If I'm off sides, I'm going to go.

SPEAKER_04 31:00

We got to run, Joe. Can we just go back and play at Canto uh softball? We can drink. We can drink over there. Hey, the fans.

SPEAKER_00 31:09

I thought he was talking about the listeners today. They want us being more active. I know. Be active and drink over there.

SPEAKER_02 31:15

I mean, I think watching soccer, it looks fun to play. Oh, yeah, it does look fun to play. Just like my kids play hockey. It looks fun to play. Right. Right?

SPEAKER_00 31:27

But I don't think hockey looks fun. You mess around with that pup.

SPEAKER_02 31:32

If you watch enough of it, it looks fun.

SPEAKER_00 31:34

They be out there moving. I do soccer. Hockey, they're moving too much for me. And it's cold. I mean, I know you're going to be warm from all that moving, but it looks fun to play like I was.

SPEAKER_02 31:45

I wish I had an opportunity to play. It's cold in that stadium. Yeah, it is cold as well. Hell yeah. You be sitting there. Yeah, when you're just sitting there, but you ain't ice. You ain't jumping. You ain't jumping.

SPEAKER_00 31:56

You go watch a game right now in the ice den. You gotta sit up here and you gotta dress. Well, right now, you're fine because it's 120 degrees outside. I don't know. But what I'm saying is, no, when you go into the ice den, can't you? You see how hot it is outside? Yeah. But you're still good. Because once you go in there, it's cold as hell. Then you sit in there and no. But that'd be fine. Hell no.

SPEAKER_02 32:22

This time of year, it feels good. I'll tell you from experience, because like when my kids would play summer hockey, going from outside to inside, I can wear shorts and t-shirt during this time of year. But in wintertime, man, I'm freezing my ass off. I have to put on a I have to put on a food. I don't know. I run cold, boy. Yeah, no, it's it's I can't. I get cold quick. I'm like, now if they play like two games or something, no, no, I need a sweatshirt. At least a hoodie. But yeah, but yeah, like I said, it does look fun to play.

Offside Rules And Flopping Anger

SPEAKER_02 32:50

Soccer looks fun to play. I hate some of the rules. I can't stand the flopping, but it does look fun to play.

SPEAKER_00 32:56

I think I see why they do it, but I was like, that's terrible. They admit they. I think if you flop, you should be able to get a rare card.

SPEAKER_02 33:04

I don't like listen, I like the offsize rule, but like if I don't like it.

SPEAKER_00 33:09

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 33:10

If they're even it's too critical.

SPEAKER_00 33:14

It's too critical. See, y'all know you easy gone. I told y'all we didn't got in it, dawg. They had the damn video. Dude's toe was barely offside. And they called him offside. Offside. Because he was offside. Yes. But it's stupid. No exception to the rule. Close. That's how it is. It's that like the goalie.

SPEAKER_04 33:34

I know, but there's no exception to the rule.

SPEAKER_00 33:36

If the goalie, I think soccer would be better if they got rid of it. The goalie. Off sides? No, what I'm saying is the goalie is. So I guess you're supposed to have a defender, I'm assuming. We need to get a soccer expert. But I guess you're supposed to have a couple defenders to help the goalie or defend the goalie. Is that why they call it?

SPEAKER_02 33:59

So they're defending, yeah. You have the back line defenders, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 34:02

So if Steele, if Steve is the goalie, me and you, we on the we on the same team. And Sherrod is the defender. If you kick it, if you pass it to me, and I kick it, I'm off sides, right? Because remember, we're going, we're going, we're going to Steve. No, you're the defender. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm right here. We're going right where Steve is. Okay. And Joe is over here, and Joe passes to me. Yep. You're off sides. But if I'm behind you, you're on side. That dude.

SPEAKER_02 34:39

When the ball, when the ball leaves his foot, where you were at when his the ball leaves his foot, that's controller. So if it if you're if you're here, I'm here.

SPEAKER_00 34:52

I'm good.

SPEAKER_02 34:53

You you break and the ball leaves my foot right here, you're good.

SPEAKER_00 34:56

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 34:57

But it's after.

SPEAKER_00 34:59

So what does that mean?

SPEAKER_04 35:00

You just can't touch it?

SPEAKER_00 35:01

You can't touch it. Yeah. You just you just have to let the goalie. Or just hope. See, that's that's what the part is.

SPEAKER_02 35:08

See, I think it should be like a line, like in hockey, off size is when you get past the blue line. So that's how you got the puck has so so when you look at a hockey. Well, you as long as you have the puck. So so in hockey, you got the the red the red center line, you got the two blue lines, right? So if say a player passes the puck, and the and the players on the other side of the blue line before the puck is, that's considered off sides. Huh.

SPEAKER_01 35:44

So it it's it's and they've been doing this shit for thousands of years. They ain't gonna change those things. They ain't gonna change it.

SPEAKER_02 35:50

Man, because you know why they're not gonna change it is because the players would you just gonna put it all you're gonna do is put speed on on your team. Yeah, hell yeah. You're just gonna put speed. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_00 36:02

And just you're just gonna kink the ball and go. And it's gonna make it so that most of the times when it's one-on-one, yeah, with you in the goalie, the person that's kicking the ball is gonna win. Probably 80-90% of the time.

SPEAKER_02 36:18

So you if you got people just flying up the field, they want they like they want to be able to shift the the field.

SPEAKER_00 36:26

So, I mean, I get it, but I get it too. I still don't like off sides. I told you, Joe. I got tapped in, man. You gotta try it. I can't wait. What time of the game? Come on tomorrow. I'm looking it up.

WNBA Teams And Caitlin Clark Heat

SPEAKER_02 36:42

What you doing during the offseason, Joe? What you watch?

SPEAKER_04 36:48

What do I watch? Yeah. I told you, I'm watching WNBA.

SPEAKER_00 36:52

Okay. Who's your favorite team?

SPEAKER_04 36:56

My favorite team? I like uh the Aces.

SPEAKER_02 37:00

I like Atlanta. Who's the who's the best team in the league, right? The Aces.

SPEAKER_04 37:07

Uh no. That's uh which one with the actually the the best team in the league is the I think it's the Mystics or something.

SPEAKER_02 37:20

Or the Lynx. Minnesota Lynx.

SPEAKER_04 37:22

So they're expanding the thing. I think the Lynx, because the Lynx is uh that's the one with uh Yeah, next year, the next few years. They're not expanding. Which colour is moving?

SPEAKER_00 37:30

Connecticut is going back. It's gonna be the Houston Comics.

SPEAKER_02 37:33

Oh, they're going back to Houston?

SPEAKER_00 37:34

Okay, and then the Cleveland Rockers.

SPEAKER_04 37:36

The team with uh Olivia Miles, that's probably one of the best teams.

SPEAKER_00 37:40

She's good.

SPEAKER_04 37:41

Yeah, she is.

SPEAKER_00 37:42

I I heard she's getting a little flat because they I guess I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 37:47

Can she wear that fro?

SPEAKER_02 37:49

I think it's no no no they say like her attitude. What you think about the whole Caitlin Clark thing?

SPEAKER_04 37:56

And that it's a lot of trolls out there that just just making a big deal out of. They try to sit there and say everybody's against her and everybody trying to hurt her. I don't think that's true. I don't think nobody's trying to do that. Basketball is basketball.

SPEAKER_02 38:09

Yeah, but they do they they do get rough. They do that with everybody, they get rough in the WNBA.

SPEAKER_04 38:14

They do that with everybody. I mean, no matter like what sport you play, when you coming in your first and second year, you're gonna catch her, bro.

SPEAKER_02 38:22

But she's getting a little extra.

SPEAKER_04 38:24

You don't get a free pass.

SPEAKER_02 38:25

You don't get a free pass. Right? Mike didn't get no free pass. You don't think she's getting a little extra because she's Caitlin?

SPEAKER_00 38:31

Hey, remember when Michael Jordan used to get all beat up?

SPEAKER_04 38:34

She don't get she don't get these calls. Everybody thinks she should be getting the calls and shit that she be won, but she don't get them. That's the problem. Okay. But she don't she haven't earned the motherfucker.

SPEAKER_02 38:45

I don't watch enough. I just see it kind of. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04 38:48

Like they expect her to get the calls that uh Asia Asia Wilson get.

SPEAKER_02 38:52

But Asia is a prenant. Asia don't cry though. Asia's the go in there and play. Asia's the best player in the NW NBA right now, right? I don't know about that. Who's the best player? Who would you consider the best player in the WNBA? Brittany Griner?

unknown 39:08

No.

SPEAKER_02 39:10

Don't get him started. Don't you get me started on that? Don't you get me on that? Why are you poking?

SPEAKER_00 39:15

Why are you poking the bear? Joe's Sacred Crush.

SPEAKER_01 39:22

Man, stop.

SPEAKER_02 39:23

I thought he was about to say, oh, he's trying to come back in the NBA.

SPEAKER_00 39:27

Vera De Milo. All right, yeah, that's all right. So now let's talk about uh Vera De Milo. So how many teens are playing next year then in the WA? Connecticut is moving. I don't think Cleveland comes in until 2028.

SPEAKER_04 39:44

Right. I think they do need to expand because there's a lot, a lot of female basketball players out there. That's really, really good. And they and they're getting cut. I know. They cut them. They cut uh Latanya Latson last week. Who? Uh Latanya Latson. She was uh came from South Carolina. Oh uh who was it? The Sparks? Sparks cut her.

SPEAKER_00 40:05

I saw one of the cards.

SPEAKER_04 40:06

But see, but they they they cut her and they put Kate Martin on the the practice squad.

SPEAKER_00 40:13

Oh, the white girl from Iowa?

SPEAKER_04 40:15

Yeah, and they put her on the practice because she got cut from uh the aces, right? No, the she went, she ended up over at the vaccine or somebody. Oh and they and the aces cut her, then she went to the vaccine and then they ended up cutting it.

SPEAKER_02 40:27

Which is crazy because you can be a top 10 pick in the day. And get cut. That's nuts.

SPEAKER_04 40:33

You might not even make the team. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. But the thing about it is that I think the the I think is when they practice the the WNBA game, it might not look like it, but it's a little faster than college.

SPEAKER_00 40:46

Oh no, it is. No, it is, yeah, it is.

SPEAKER_04 40:49

So they're not they're not adjusting that well. So they don't have no they don't have and then they don't feel their roster either. So they have a 15-man roster, but they only have like 11 players.

SPEAKER_02 40:59

Well that tells me there's not enough. 12 players, because they don't want to pay nobody. Well they need to add more teams, but then they need to market.

SPEAKER_04 41:05

They can have a they can have a large roster, they just don't feel it. It's just like college. Like college, you can have 15 players, but they only usually run like 10 or 12.

unknown 41:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 41:17

Well, yeah. Well, that's in the WMB.

SPEAKER_04 41:20

Hey they only add 12 players. South Carolina's adding 15 players, is that what they see? They whole roster squad is full. South Carolina. How much are they paying out in L? I don't know. But they got out, they all in the top, they all in the top 20 almost. Every single one of them.

SPEAKER_02 41:39

So they they supposed to run shit this year. Back to promise prominence.

SPEAKER_00 41:44

Yeah. Hey, do they uh they they won last year, right?

SPEAKER_04 41:49

No, they got beat by uh UCLA.

SPEAKER_02 41:51

UCLA, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 41:52

Oh, UCLA.

SPEAKER_02 41:53

Oh yeah, UCLA won, that's right. And then um, what's it what's her phase? Juju's supposed to be back this year, right?

SPEAKER_04 42:00

Ain't gonna make no difference.

SPEAKER_02 42:02

USC.

SPEAKER_04 42:03

Well, USC in the last three years they had the number one high school person coming out.

SPEAKER_02 42:07

Oh, so then they should be able to get the biggest.

SPEAKER_00 42:09

Joby tapped in to the one's basketball.

SPEAKER_04 42:12

They had Juju, then had that Jazzy Davis, and now they got the one that's coming out this year. So the last three years they had. Well, they should be stacked. They stacked. But they ain't got enough though. Oh, really? Nah. Because see, like they have they have some transfers come in and all that. So they probably got like a 12-man roster at that. I'm telling you, South Atlanta got a 15-man roster and every fucking one of them play. Because nobody transferred out of there. I know man. Nobody left that shit.

NIL Money And Transfer Rules

SPEAKER_04 42:54

So they're changing the transfer rule. Nah, that's nick saving them. You don't like the transfer rule? No, I don't like that. I don't like that they're trying to cheat them kids out their shit. Hold on. So they made the shit. So they made billions off the kids, and now they don't want the kids to have a dime. I don't think it's that. Yes, it is that.

SPEAKER_02 43:15

Okay, well, explain it to me. Huh? Explain it to me.

SPEAKER_04 43:18

Well, they don't like the fact that what it is, they gamble on a motherfucker and then he bail on them. Yeah. And they want their money back. But that's no that's no rule against that. Well, take him to court. Well, okay. But they ain't gonna win. You gambled on the motherfucker.

SPEAKER_00 43:34

Yeah. But you I think you should sign a contract.

SPEAKER_04 43:37

Yeah, you should sign a contract. Yeah, it is.

SPEAKER_02 43:41

But a lot of schools are are making these kids starting.

SPEAKER_04 43:43

Well, if they sign a contract, then see, but a letter of intent is not a contract. I I understand that. But see, what they're trying to do is make a letter of intent in a contract. I don't think it should be a contract.

SPEAKER_02 43:53

It shouldn't be. Why not?

SPEAKER_04 43:54

Because you might just change your fucking mind.

SPEAKER_02 43:57

They're still getting paid.

SPEAKER_04 43:58

They're not getting paid with a letter of intent.

SPEAKER_02 44:00

They only get paid when they get on the getting they're getting paid before they sign the limit.

SPEAKER_04 44:03

That's the NIL shit. That ain't got nothing to do with the college. The college don't pay them that. Until they get to the collective.

SPEAKER_02 44:09

Well, yeah, but a lot of kids don't sign the letter. A lot of that shit.

SPEAKER_04 44:13

Until they know what they're getting, right? Right. That's endorsements and shit.

SPEAKER_02 44:16

But yeah. Then they then they sign the limit. If you're an athlete, other than the top 10 or 100 athletes, if you're an athlete, you're a three-star going to a school, you know what you're going to get paid before you go to that school.

SPEAKER_04 44:31

If they really want to do something about it, they should allow every school should have a certain amount of money that they can spend on it.

SPEAKER_02 44:37

I agree.

SPEAKER_04 44:38

And that's all they should. Yes. I think it's no, I'm saying, that's what I'm saying. That should be a certain amount of money they spend, and every player. It should be across the board. No, no. Every player on that team should get the same amount. No, that hey, I agree. Listen, I agree. That that now see because see what they're doing now is like with the NIL and the transfer and all that shit. If you're coming out of high school, you ain't gonna get no looks.

SPEAKER_00 45:03

No, that's true.

SPEAKER_04 45:03

You ain't gonna get shit.

SPEAKER_00 45:05

Now, I I think because it should go as far as like if you're a freshman, you get a certain amount, sophomore, junior, senior.

SPEAKER_04 45:17

So you do a status quo then. So, but the thing is, you you it's it don't do anything for the transfer because you when you have that transfer port order, it's just like and another thing they should do if you fucking 29 years old, you got no fucking business plan against no guy. Oh, you you should anyhow after 24? After 24 years old. After 24, they should cut that shit off. See what I'm saying? Like you could transfer and got eligibility and transfer and got eligibility.

SPEAKER_00 45:43

Injury elevated, and then they should they should go back to they should go back to uh if you go to JUCO for two years, you got two years left. Hey, you ain't got four years. That dude, that's listening. I mean the money the money's changed the game.

SPEAKER_04 45:59

Well, they've been doing that, but the thing is they've been paying players, they've just been doing it on the table. Now they're just trying to make the bullshit they was doing all these years legal. So what they're trying to do now, but I don't think the thing about it is what I'm looking at is kids don't want to go to fucking high school as it

School Tech And Parenting Reality

SPEAKER_04 46:16

is. And what in the fuck I'm gonna go to high school for that's no future.

SPEAKER_00 46:20

No, they guide the advising kids.

SPEAKER_04 46:23

No, you're saying to get an education. Education system is fucked. All they do is teach you to be a worker, they don't teach you to they don't teach you to they don't inspire you to do anything on your own.

SPEAKER_02 46:32

I mean the high school kids.

SPEAKER_04 46:34

They just tell you, look, it just just look at it like this. You go to you you go to school, right? It's just like going to work. That's all they do is grooming you to be a fucking worker. Well, that's because you go to fucking school, you get there at eight o'clock, you go to fucking lunch at 10 30, you get out of fucking lunch, you go back to class, and then you go home at 4 30. Yeah. Just like a fucking job. Only then the shit they teach you, you know, it just teach you to behave. They're not teaching you to fucking, they're not teaching you that the won't rejoice on podcasts. They're teaching you to fucking behave. You need to behave yourself and obey the man. That's what they're telling you. That's all they tell you.

SPEAKER_00 47:18
