All right welcome back The Trilateral Podcast Episode 104 How are we doing guys? How's it going? Going So we had a World Cup wrap up. We had a race go on to the Belgium Grand Prix. Yeah Belgium Grand Prix was this past weekend. Pretty interesting first 10 laps. Really the first lap was quite exciting. I believe it was turned four. Everyone had a pretty decent start. Russell struggled off the line. He got gobbled up by the Ferraris, Max, Max actually as they were going up the incline took the lead momentarily. By the time they got down to that fourth turn, Russell was pretty well gobbled up. He tried to defend. But in the end it was all for nothing. The ended up I feel they were both just taking their turns. They were both committed to their lines. Russell ended up colliding with Hamilton that kicked Russell out into the gravel. That was the end of his race. If I noted it as the race went on that came out safety car came out for that. I think it took a few laps. They finally decided, oh Hamilton's going to get a five second time penalty for that. That kind of called bullshit on that. It was a racing incident. I think it was only maybe a handful laps after that. I think lap nine. Paster was coming up trying to get past LeClear. I think it was the same turn also. They ended up colliding pretty good. Nothing came out of it. There was a little damage. They reviewed it. Didn't award any penalties for it, which I felt I don't know. I felt it was a little more of an action there by LeClear that caused that moment. I think they had enough space between them as they were approaching the turn. The announcer was even kind of like, "Okay, they were a little unsure of it too." The only conclusion they came to was the end result that was caused. Russell's race was ended. No one's race was ended after the other one. In the end, the five second didn't really affect Hamilton when they were able to pit under a BSC, which played into their factor quite well. The only thing was when Hamilton went to release, he ended up catching one of the pit crew slightly, kind of almost random over. Obviously his words were like, "Fuck, is he okay?" They didn't give him a penalty for it, but there was fines after the race for it. You got five? Yeah, the team got fines for an unsafe release. No, not really anyone's fault. He was out of position. The driver's not going to be watching everyone's wrong in the car. He's watching the release light at the top, which I don't think anyone would blame him. It's all about time. But the guy was fine. He didn't get hurt or nothing fully. After that, the race went on that those pits under that BSC allowed the Claire to come out ahead of Kimmy. Who at the point was the net race leader. Prior to that, Hamilton was in second. The Claire was not quite in first at the time. The Claire was leading for maybe, but I want to say it was about 20 laps, maybe not quite 20. Kimmy ended up, because Norse actually got ahead of him because Norse led for a moment. Will Claire got past him? Piaf Street, I think the damage he took from him and Claire's little struggle affected him. He was a non-factor. Lando flopped back from his 10-place grid penalty for taking a new power unit. I think he probably could have finished in the top five, but when he finally went into pit, they ended up having issues with the left rear tire. It would not come off. So there was almost an 8-second pit stat for him, which threw his chances off pretty good. The tire guy's... Hamilton was a little further. What was up? He's tire guy's stuck. Yeah, I wouldn't. I think they had to try it two or three times before they finally got it off. So, probably he, I imagine, that was too hot, was kind of seizing probably, or maybe the gun this wasn't firing properly. It could have been that. So he got back out there. At that point, Hamilton was, I think, fifth or sixth. He fought his way back up to fourth. Kimmy, after he got past LeClaire pretty much held it. LeClaire tried to fight back, but just couldn't... Hamilton probably, if there was maybe a few more laps, might have challenged or stepped him for a third. Now, I would say probably the best overtake of the whole damn race was mid-pack, a little back. They were... They didn't do a replay on it, which I thought was kind of a bummer, but they did have it in the highlights. It was Lawson and Gazzley were battling over the tenth tenth place for the last point, and they're going through this turn, they're kind of battling. All of a sudden, you see out of the far right of the screen, Gazzley's team in Calipinto just boom, past both of them, three wide into that turn. It was freaking wild because they kind of had it in the small screen down the left, and the announcer was talking about it, and all of a sudden, you see this third car just come into screen and just rip past both of them. They just were like, "Oh, that was real good overtake." End result, Kimi was first place, look, Claire Second, we're stepping third, followed by Hamilton. P.I. Street rounded up at the top five, and then it was Hajar, Norris, Bordeaux-Lato, Lindembalm, the Rookie, and Calipinto on the top ten. Russell, obviously it was a DNF. Sergio, I think, something broke in his car. So he was a DNF, and then Stroll had to come in. I don't know if it was a power unit or something else. 17 cars on a leading lap, which for this track, I would expect most of the cars to be on the leading lap. It's such a long track in general. I think it's like 4.5 miles. The alarm track, but yeah, it definitely is outside of that. Obviously, Kimi extended his lead pretty well. I think he's almost got a two, almost a 50 point buffer now. Yeah, just under 50, or just over 50. So yeah, Kimi with 204, Lewis 159, George 154, are your top three for the championship. And then your team Mercedes is just way ahead, 358 Ferrari 285 and then McLaren at 195. So looking ahead to the next race, we got the Hungarian, Graham Pre, practice in nine hours, race time will be 90m Sunday for us. Some speculation that Ferrari should be pretty strong at this track. Outside of the van, I know, I think Cadillac is probably going to have about one of their last upgrade packages for this season at this race. We'll see what that does for them. Outside of that, I think that really covers up one at this point. So it should be a decent race. Looking forward to it. Nice. Nice. Man, I feel like some of the calls that they make in F1, some of these penalties, they assess, or some of those. It's, some of them just take way too long. It's ridiculous. That lap one was definitely a racing incident. And even Russell, after the race, said that it was not Hamilton's fault. That was a racing incident all the way. Unfortunately, he was just in a bad position. His battery power was zero. And he got gobbled up and he was just trying to hang on to what he could. And they picked their lines and unfortunately, once you commit it, it kind of played out. Because either one of them, if they were to slam brakes on it, would have been a pile-up, like no other. So just, I think it's interesting the way they're, how they fucking assess that shit, make some of them make no sense. But it took them a good handful or more laps to finally fucking decide something, which I think is going to be a longer time. Maybe it should review it a couple more times and make sure they're making the right decision. Yeah. Yeah, I was, even the answers were kind of like, okay. Because as soon as, you know, the club they had their little squabble him and pastry, they were like, oh, that's going to be a dime penalty and then nothing. It's like, all right. Those are like, you know, they're probably different people every race, right? That decide those. Yeah. It should be the same crew. It's the same crew. It's like the same video reviews. It's kind of like the head, the head refs for NFL, you know, they might have a handful of them, but it's usually the same crew kind of making those calls. I'm curious. Whether there's a little bit of illusion going on. I always like that factor. I've been notorious for that in the past for bullshit, like especially with the FAA or some famous ones in the, you know, back when Adrian Sonno was racing in Mahanako, that one, that was his race, but they called the race before, supposedly, and he didn't get to win. So, yeah. No, it's possibility. Yep. Looked at the VAR crew and fucking son. Moving on to the World Cup. We had the last two games, England, and the fuck was it? France. France. France. France. France. I mean, yeah, Argentina and Spain, for the championship. What a game. Probably the bus game. I don't want to say it was the bus game. It was just definitely the most amount of goals in the game, but the England and France game was just insane. It was what? It was six four, wasn't it? Yeah. It had those six. Yeah. That was wild. That was, it was crazy, crazy back and forth game. Obviously, we all like seeing a lot of goals scored, so it was pretty electric in that standpoint, but makes me wonder, I don't know what had been a different championship was one of those other teams in it, like almost seemed like whether right teams in the championship, but yeah. Good game on that one. France is definitely, I don't know, I think France is that team. France is really good. They're super consistent. It's like, well, but you know, can't pull it together for one game in this tournament. That's just how it goes. So, yeah, they look pretty defeated in that game. Anyways, yeah, they were scoring goals, but I just thought the opposite. I didn't think that obviously they were 10 goals scored in this game. I mean, then you really think about it, like, are they playing any defense? Like, you're playing for a third place team or a third place game. So, playing for a third place, I mean, which I'm still I'm sure that's still some sort of money, money pool getting that third place. Yeah, that's wouldn't have thought of been that many goals, but any means, I wonder what the overunder was the goals for that game. I mean, it probably like probably three, four and a half. It's probably high to begin with because the players and everybody on those teams, you know, there's a lot of good players on that team, a lot of good players in the Premier League. So, yeah, yeah, that was a third or fourth place teams. And then the championship Argentina and Spain, I mean, good game. They kept, they stayed with them the whole time. Obviously, just got down to those last little bit. I think they were also down a man. Argentina was when they had a goal scored on them. So, the thing is though that like, if you don't like look at the last game and be like, wow, Spain, you know, didn't the Argentina score goal on them? Yadda yadda, isn't that? Spain only conceded one goal, the entire tournament. Every game they put, they were only scored on one time. Holy shit. So, like, that was, you get, that's a pretty dominant performance. Every game was one besides one game. And that was against Cape Verde where they drew zero to zero. So, Spain played a dominant World Cup. They deserved it. Definitely, obviously, it wasn't team I was expecting to win, but they were up there top five team for sure to win it. So, I want to say, were they below America though? Were they like, no, I think I think I'm going to have more of a long shot to win it. Yeah. Because what is this, just Spain's second World Cup, right? I think it is. Second, yeah. Second overall. Yeah. Which I think it'd been a while too, honestly, if I recall timeline. Interesting. I think I think was since the 90s. Very. I think it was. Yeah. Didn't realize it was that long since they won? Was it a nice, something like that? Yeah, we'll soon. Do you guys know where the next World Cup is at? Where the, what areas are hosting it? So, it'd be... 20, 30? Yeah. I don't, I thought they were already picked up. I thought I read something, that it was up between... Oh, they haven't picked yet. Yeah, I thought it was between Spain and Morocco. Where was it at? Oh, four years ago. Where was it at then? Hmm. Trying to remember, wasn't it? Historical, eternal. Oh, that'll be celebrating 100, 100 year anniversary of the World Cup for real. You know, in 2030. Let's make it all over the world. So, it looks like it's primarily co-hosted by Morocco, Spain, and Portugal. Okay. That's why I'm reading, but... Hmm. Shit, some of it's gonna be in Portugal and fucking, where the hell is not gonna be there? Sense. Huh. We got automatic qualifications. Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay are all automatically qualified. Hmm. They automatically qualify for the World Cup. Yeah. Because they're hosting? Yeah, it's supposed to span 21 stadiums across six hosting nations. Damn. That'll be electric. Yeah, Spain, Morocco, Portugal, Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay, are your primary locations. It'll also be the longest World Cup in history due to the variety of hosting locations because of travel. Yeah. So, that'll make it interesting. That's gonna play a factor. All the traveling back and forth? Yeah, bouncing down from like Spain to Argentina. That's the way I'll get the travel that fuck fuck. Wait. It's between Spain and Argentina. Argentina was on that list. Mm-hmm. Jesus. That is a far-frican travel. Yeah, Buenos Aires, multivito, and Uruguay, Estonian, and Paraguay, Lisbon, and Portugal. Costa Blanca are about Marclass, Aguidar, Faisantangier, Maracco, Madrid, Barcelona, Sivu, Vila Bo, San Sebastian, Zagarazza, Las Plamos, El Hinccio, and Vigo in Spain. Yeah. So, there's still talks. This is something that hasn't been formed out. So, I've expected to feature 48 teams, but there's discussions regarding potential expansion to 64 teams. Wow. Everybody's expanding their tournaments. Fuck. More games equals one more. People are going to like-- That would be interesting. I think there's really any football news. Yeah, what happened? Look at football news there. There's nothing really else. Season four for Battlefield is live. No update in the NFL world. Anything going on? I think there was some minor signings or con justments, but nothing. I haven't seen anything. We're in problem. Not heard much. We should have-- They should have trained. I'm going on right now. So, we're just getting close to it. They have to feel like they're getting close to it because we got pre-season in less than a month. So, yeah. There was a kind of a hype commercial after the conclusion of the soccer tournament. It was Jerry Jones, like an airplane, and they're pulling the tarp off the AT&T signal in the stadium. And then he said something like, "It's time for football," or something like that. Jerry Jones, that it? Yeah. Yep. No, football can start. Yeah, I'm ready for football. So, that's the next exciting thing, so. Let me interest in here. Yes, it will. A lot of teams with unquestionable starters for quarterback, especially. We're always thinking that we could be getting a year. And there are some teams that have some possible starters like the Falcons with Tuha and Penex and Psykings with JJ and Elymeri and all of them. So. Yeah, that's great. Carlyler's up there now. We're going to start for Cleveland. Yeah. They'll probably draft-- Oh, no, they're the rest of the way over. They're probably going to still pick up another few quarterbacks. Joe Flacco is still there? No. He didn't even retire still? I don't know if he would have finished. He's probably, I thought, right? Yeah. He might still be hit Cleveland. I don't know. No price still bounced around and win four or five games. I thought they were going to play like Shadore. Yeah, maybe it's going to be Shadore. I think Gabriel, doing Gabriel still there, so. Yeah. Yeah. Like, interesting to see if Raiders will give obviously-- Mendoza's got to start being their bone overall pick, so. Yeah, but I know Flacco just-- he was in the quarterback season three on Netflix. Yeah, I saw, I saw they released that. I've watched it, but I saw that he wasn't, that's pretty cool. Still has his quarterback from the Super Bowl. I'm just sitting in a barn.[laughs] That's definitely Joe Flacco like. He's still a sexy. Always that's sincere, that's what it is. Yeah, they got to keep him with Joe Burrow, if it can go down again. Yeah. It's been every AFC North team besides Pittsburgh still, so. Come back for his 19th season. He is. Might as well stay no one after that and do 20, but we'll see. Yeah. Well, Flacco, how much money he needs? I have to. I don't know if I'm fucking making a few millions sitting in the bench, I'd fucking stay until I'm 50. Oh man. A-A, Brian. Yeah, he's going to be doing the same shit probably. Fuck. Yeah, that'll be an interesting thing. He was then in my car. And in my car, we'll see how he does with his old coach, so. Yeah. It's going to be off the top ones, not there this year. It's really going to fucking throw me off. That's going to be different. It's going to be something to get used to. Hopefully it's not for long. I just want to do good, but fuck. I didn't like that ours left either, but at least it's a familiar face, where we're used to seeing. Yeah. Yeah. We shall see. Oh, I'm optimistic, but this season could be a shit show, boys. Yeah, honestly, right now, if I had to pick a team, the only team that looks promising that has actually done a lot of shit on the offseason, be the Rams. Well, the Rams are team at the top right now that I feel like have the most yeah, like opportunity or drive or, you know, they're actually doing a lot of shit to win the Super Bowl because like, you know, Stafford's time is. That could be his last season, or you could have two more after this only, so he's got plus people's fucking contracts are coming to an end over there too. A lot of those big rookies a few years back, so they got to do something because they have to be able to forward all of them. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I know how you got to do it, man. You got to win when you got the team. You got to win when you got the team for cheap. Yeah, we got to get lucky with no injuries and just keep doing good. I think the Rams are good. Sure. I think the Rams will still be good. I think Seattle will still be good. We shall see. We shall see. In the next couple episodes, we'll start putting together our regional winners and surely that you said the pre-season is coming up soon. Yeah, we got one, two more weeks till pre-season. I believe so. Sounds about right. Yeah, maybe that first week of pre-season or second week of pre-season, we can do our predictions for the divisions. Get there at least one game. Yeah, let's see all the injuries and freaking training camp and all this shit to go to happen. Seems like there's always one or two big injuries during the pre-season, but hopefully there's none. Somebody who's the first pre-season game is August 6th. Yeah. Yeah. The week. No, the last thing I have to say is if you haven't seen it yet, go watch the Odyssey. That shit's good as fuck. So two this week can. Hope two this weekend. It's definitely movie the year movie of probably the 2020s, I mean 2020s. Definitely the movie. I'd say it's his probably first or second best movie, No one's. You do this hell, it's worth the three hours, so that's for sure. It goes by quick. Want to go watch that. I think that might be it, boys. All right, guys. Episode 104, try that one podcast. Catch you guys in the next one. Thanks for listening. Later.
