on you know I just picked it up he's like oh you watch soccer I said yeah so and we chatted about like the World Cup and everything real quick I don't think you just realized this if you unlocked a whole nother group of humans what could I be wearing my jersey yes we get that's one of the reasons why like I wear my um Juventus land yeah for uh work and I have to go in places yeah it's an easy like oh man you watch this sure do hey my name's Austin yeah that's been cool I wear my jersey out and get little little nods like oh yeah I know I see what you watch like how's that like a Chipotle

out of there right no two two okay yeah howling in france yeah that group is gonna have nobody it's it's yeah that's crazy yeah the France and Norway but yeah it's gonna be a tough that's yeah I'm I think it's gonna be France is gonna gonna win it all and then or what shit that's my that's my team to win the whole thing France Synag I'll go with Norway damn that's that's tough all right Argentina Algeria Austria and Jordan Argentina and Algeria I'm thinking the same hey man the Tara gonna be cooking that's all I know I was thinking I was like I was thinking the other day I was like what what Argentine strikers do they have this was Alvarez I think or or Alcarez yeah than Lutaro and that's that's the only people I can think of you said Messi playing or he no he clearly nah nah retired he's playing but I mean but he's but he's more of a cam or a or a or a wing player well nah nah he's yeah he's more of a cam now because he can't move yeah yeah but yeah um get it done I don't know what other strikers got but I think they I think they can get it done let's go with um there we go group K two more groups Portugal Congo Uzbekistan and Colombia peso cup portugal colombia I think congo congo will be fun to watch but yeah yeah if y'all want to have some fun wherever Colombia goes go to that game okay it's gonna feel like a party a violent party portugal colombia for me yeah I'll say that Portugal Colombia and Michelle uh we got Croatia England Ghana and Panama England and Croatia you said who Croatia England Panama who ghana Ghana England Croatia Ghana Panama yeah it's gonna feel real racist too it is what is what is this group this group yes England and Croatia yeah England Croatia I got England and Ghana if you say so brother I haven't watched the African teams this this year so I don't know I'll tell y'all something about that Senegal game after uh but uh NBA playoff show how y'all feel about it oh everybody was and myself included was just happy that OKC was knocked out I'm actually I'm happy and I'm unhappy

SPEAKER_01 22:00

Because now I was so ready to if OKC won to adamantly be rooting against them. But now that it's the Spurs and um New York, I don't really, I'm not actively really rooting against anybody. I can just watch. New York wins. I don't get to watch the world burn. Spurs win. I watched this, I just see another legend born in uh Wimbuyama. Um so yeah, but I thought that last series with the the Cleveland and New York series was kind of pathetic. I don't even I don't even know what happened there.

SPEAKER_04 22:36

I I can tell you what happened. What they ran pick they they did um they did picks to switch harden on Brunson and Brunson just destroyed Harden because Harden don't play defense. Yeah they kept oh yeah I kept they kept I kept seeing the memes of him as a as a as a cone as a traffic cone and he yeah yeah man uh damn well I guess good news uh I only get to watch 60 of the people who I don't like wait sixty percent yes oh if the thunder would have wanted to eighty percent because that's right because two you what you're talking about out of the five yeah two so two of the five or plant three of five because it's cat cat and who the other three oh no you underestimate it number five Carl Anthony Towns number four PJ Washington number three Carl Anthony Towns number two SGA number one Carl Anthony Towns okay so the 60 is there one person yep that's terrible yeah man um who you know who you think's gonna win um uh I think well I'm I want to say maybe the Spurs I say Spurs in a good series Spurs in so I'm a conspiracy theorist and I always think they're gonna drag it out regardless of who should win because that just tends to happen like you don't see a lot when's the last time we saw like a straight sweep in the finals but outside of like LeBron and uh go to state because the even because Cleveland had no business even being there but that was the last one the last sweep I think so yeah so they're not that's not something and think about all the money they lost with that sweep the NBA was like nah bro nah we can't do this look all the money we left on the table we could have stretched this out for at least a a week and a half but um so I will say at a minimum of six games uh wait no that would mean four two I think it'd be four three yeah four two I'll give it four two six games six spurs and six yeah spurs and six barn injuries because because I feel like last year should have been closer well no last year went to game seven heidi burn just got hurt that's right spurs and six I think it goes full series I mean I think Spurs because my conspiracy theories Spurs and seven all right or mom don't stand wins oh no is that what they call in New York mom don't stand yeah wait who so like yeah no I was telling awesome so you know the mayor mom don't right yeah so people well before he was elected people was like trying to be racist and like oh he's gonna turn it into he's gonna turn it into like socialist and bring sharia on and it's gonna become mom donastan but then he won and then people started running with that shit the hell like his supporters call it mom donastan now so I actually saw a mom donastan New York Knicks shirt for sale money all because that man is doing never mind me this another podcast that man's doing what everybody else could have did yeah anyway damn uh for me I got uh hey mineral water sparkling water house water spurs and five no what it what did somebody put it as a New Yorker he said wimbayama Barack Obama uh uh llama pajamas uh New York in five oh no your baby mama that's what it is it was wimbayama Barack Obama your baby mama New York and five but nah um watching the little bit of the game I've watched so far it's such a big difference when Wimbayama's not out there and when he's out there it yeah it's crazy looking because he's just kind of ridiculous the whole floor is different people attack the bat tip people attack the basket different like just him being there you can see not the intimidation but it's just it's gotta be a little startling no mat no matter who you are to just you turn around and you see just limbs flailing you know I mean like that's yeah because I've seen it a couple times just then watching as I look up while we were talking like as soon as somebody has a ball and he's there they're like you can see that little hesitation so I feel like if he can take advantage that because they're gonna take at least this game to get used to it because I feel like that's something you gotta get you got to get used to just seeing him but if they can adjust to it they like by game two I think it'll be different but just seeing it now it's just crazy but Spurs haven't run out run away with it but just watching the back and forth and then watching what happens when he's on the on the uh court versus off it it's just one of those I think Spurs stay healthy they win it and let Barn like something crazy I think I don't think it's just oh that's funny the uh New York has Abu Dhabi on their shirt that's funny just just for just uh just for the visual downstand rocking Abu Dhabi logos on their jersey hey it's better than Kajakistans come on man or fallacious D is that where he's from that's where he's from that's that's the street uh anyway what is who else who got 712 front street come on man 69 Fallacious Avenue no um but other than that yeah it's gonna be I think be a good season series New York is gonna go crazy though because tonight they're playing in the in the in in San Antonio I cannot imagine yo it doesn't it doesn't matter yo if they lose the finals they're gonna burn it down if they win the finals they're gonna burn they're gonna burn it down well if they win the finals they're gonna bring that bing bong thing back bro oh right all right I gotta see him in a minute bing bong uh anyway but I think that's pretty much the only thing we're talking about at NBA yeah it's the NHL y'all been watching that yes sir as a uh well i haven't been watching because you know how I feel no I might I can't I can't watch it I might try to watch the final just because oh okay last time I watched it they're in the finals right now right the the Panthers uh Panthers the uh hurricanes are down one right now yeah that was a tough game yeah but um yeah last time I watched the hurricanes game it went 17 overtimes and I I ain't doing that again but um but they looked good through the the eastern conference leading up to it because they swept one team then I think they won the next one like 3-2 or something um yeah hurricanes looking like a solid squad what happened that first game though I didn't get I didn't I didn't see it I just know they got out early uh yeah yeah they got out early it's the thing is like they didn't take advantage of breakaways that they had and then yeah I thought they could have easily just kind of because what was this final score four to three no no five five to four golly they let five four what happened they've been well like what is the thing too vegas been destroying people too it is like two evenly matched teams got you Vegas won last year didn't he or who was who won last year uh not sure I thought it was Vegas because they beat the Panthers the Panthers are win back to back who was it the Panthers again looking it up oh yeah yeah the Panthers oh so Vegas because Vegas lost in 2023 no they oh vegas won in 2023 then the panthers won the last two years and then Vegas is back okay champion pedigrees so we'll see what happens but it should be hopefully a good series yeah hopefully I have a feeling the hurricane's gonna win in five though you think so okay or probably six well get to it man NFL news man hey that happened uh a random Monday in June yes let's see well no what you got what'd you lead with I guess the dub the biggest trade thing is um oh dude uh Miles Garrett yeah oh dude is cooked yeah the best uh what they call the best football player in the week I love how that title swaps around but anyway yeah man that that was kind of crazy to me um what they said that trade wouldn't have it wouldn't even have gone through in Madden because they it would because they showed a screenshot where it's like nobody would have believed that trade because it was what is it two picks they got curse and two wait no yeah curse and two picks for and they gave up miles gear right first round were they I'm assuming they were first round picks and what's funny is like they showed the the draft list for um they showed the draft list over the last like five six years for Rams how they've had like no first round picks because they've given them all the way but I feel bad for Curse going to Cleveland though that steaks because he's a solid lump young player well he here's I don't I don't think it's bad though but you don't think it's bad for him why not I mean because it's oh shit my bad um just because Cleveland's defense is already dope right right right so I don't when he goes there it's not gonna be his problem well no no I understand that oh wait you mean like winning yes I mean okay yeah I mean like as a as a program he went from a super contender to a perennial nah they're super bowl contender cereal bowl yeah no super bowl what contender to host the party the host the massage party because that's all they're gonna be doing but no um because yeah I've just I don't know that's the that's the part says I'm like because he's really good they're basically swapping out for younger Miles Garrett but now they're gonna keep that man in in purgatory until he can get out of there hopefully he doesn't make the mistake miles Garrett made and stick around there too long because Clinton yeah get out of the Clinton but who else um what's the other big trade that was going down um AJ Brown to the uh Patriots yo I'm like saw that shit coming everybody saw it coming like it was so many uh memes about uh what's her name Diana Diana Rossini Rossini yeah and uh Vrabel it was one where it's like shame McMahon when he like powerbomb Steph not Stephanie but the other chick when he was done with her they were like this is gonna be um this is this is Braven Rossini like he done with her now he got everything he needed oh shit damn damn you know what rainbow through so less scrutiny than other coaches who've had the same issues oh you mean black coaches yep who've lost their job when in doubt play Xbox it'll be fine stay your ass in the house yeah see and Travis Hunter just chilling man and getting all the slander you think he'll play um how about say you think he'll play both ways you think he'll play offense and defense in the uh next season um I don't think he will no well no no no I think they're gonna do what we oh my bad two knees just went up for a dunk at the same time that was about to be terrible um I think they might make some packages because of his skill set but I don't think um he's gonna really legit play both ways like that you don't think he's gonna he's not gonna be one of the ones that stay on the field the whole time right right right because what they they they're moving him to primarily cornerback right yeah that's a good movie you think he would have been I mean what the thing is a good move I yeah I I think it's a better corner than wide receiver like is is he is he better than Brian Thomas at the moment I can't I don't know my problem is uh if he goes strictly to corner you're gonna mess up my fantasy because he was a cheat code he was oh my gosh he was that man he was a cheat code boy that man had three catches for like for 10 yards then he had four tackles and the interception I didn't even think about that yep yeah I was like oh nobody's nobody gonna get him you serious I'll try I'll try this experiment out that's perfect because you don't even need the yardage just give me the catches y'all right catches that man have five little jump off catches four tackles and what maybe 25 yards and you already got your diff defensive player in double digits and you're like yeah so don't let him get an interception well damn so yeah man uh Drake London got paid I think four years a hundred and something 160 164 million and I'm thinking look you gotta pay me that much to catch these invitations to heaven from two or two catching them shits for free oh no Wimby's limping no he good I don't know why you're so far behind though come on man that's crazy oh you're watching on Hulu or something crazy just getting a breather I think it's just because he we think he's limping but that's just how he has to walk because he's oh yeah because he got two sets of knees yeah he experiencing more gravity than everybody else what the hell is that wait wait what you say Lawrence he's experiencing more gravity than everybody else he does he got he has all of them he said he spends so much gravity no experiences oh experiences okay I thought you said he spends so much gravity but still experience yeah he does experience more gravity than anybody else yeah his alien muscles cannot take it are they using AI for these things anyway I'm chipping um football football football hey do you think this is a make or break year for um Trevor Lawrence uh yes yes especially after last year like because they had so much potential and then it's just like what happened I think this is years like listen I don't know what's next year's draft class and what's out there not sure is uh I'll put it this way being playing for Jacksonville has saved Trevor Lawrence I think I guess make a break but it won't be a real break because they'll probably just keep somebody keep bringing him on the team well you're right because of who he is so yeah someway he's don't he you know what if he does let's say so for some reason the Jaguars do drop him he'll end up one of them he'll stand up end up being at the minimum a journeyman backup that that gets major contracts for no reason he'd be like a he he's gonna be like a Kirk Cousins where he's gonna have them paying him buttloads of money not even expecting him to start for real so he's good now as far as being a contender yeah because he had a pretty decent season last year he just he just kind of crapped the bed when it came to uh playoffs I guess we'll have to is it make a break is it make a break I don't know I don't know make a break Trevor Lawrence what year is he what year is he Austin I'm not sure but he's on the second contract do you think this oh he's on the second one yeah so okay so do you think that if he played in New York it would be a make or break year yeah if he played anywhere else besides Jacksonville besides like any other major market only other market he'd be safe is in um is if he played in Carolina oh yeah he'd be safe in Carolina but I'm talking about like San Diego he'd be safe yep San Diego he'd definitely safe not San Diego you know what I mean the charges shut up a Los Angeles Chargers he'd be safe um Arizona he'd be safe probably Carolina he'd probably be safe Tampa maybe oh he did hit the inside of his knee he probably just holds do you think okay um justin herbert trevor lawrence are they would you say they look the same caliber jeez you know what yeah I I would honestly I've seen Herbert at his like on a higher level than and uh I don't know I've seen Herbert play better than Lawrence I've seen it I'm like yo herbert just needs to be more consistent and he if that man was more consistent he would probably be right up there with like he'd be consensus top three or top five every single time now when you talk about it he's always out right outside but he'd be consensus top five if he's more consistent.

SPEAKER_01 43:50

He might even be top three because he when he when he's on he is he is on But yeah, I put I put Herbert over Lawrence. Like I think you put Herbert. I think you put Herbert in in Jacksonville, he does better than Lawrence. And I think you put Lawrence in I think you put Lawrence in San Diego. Not San Diego, gosh. You put Lawrence on the Chargers. He does, I don't think he does as good with Herbert they gun. But that's the thing. Who's out there? Who's out there? That's what I'm saying than Lawrence. I think right now we're at a point in the NFL where it's like if you have a competent quarterback, and you're here, here's what it is.

SPEAKER_04 44:50

If you have a Kirk Cousins, stick with him.

SPEAKER_01 44:52

No, no, yeah. Here's what it is. You remember when unless you're a team like the Rams, where you know you're a quarterback away, and the quarterback has not quite been performing, you can get somebody to take you over the hump, you gotta stay with what you got.

SPEAKER_04 45:07

It's crazy because they just went from Jared Goff to Mass Stafford.

SPEAKER_01 45:11

Exactly. That's what I'm saying, though. They had golf is fine, but they realize, hey, we could do a little better. So unless Jaguars in that position, one day where their team is like, hey, we're it's all good except for Lawrence, but they're not like that. So right now they I think that I think they stay. I think they keep them. Anyway, what makes you think that?

SPEAKER_04 45:42

You just no, I was just thinking, no, I'm I'm they to I'm I'm really nervous about Bryce Young season.

SPEAKER_01 45:52

Does it make a break for Bryce this year?

SPEAKER_04 45:58

Financially, I think it is because nobody wants to be like the Dolphins. You know what I'm saying? Because they were unsure about Tua, but they started to put stuff around him too late. Panthers did it early. I don't know who else is better than Bryce right now, but the Dolphins aren't gonna recover anytime soon. So that's what makes me a little nervous. Like, alright, we got all these pieces. Yeah, I don't think he can afford to do like a small, like you know, like a slow start. Like previous years. So it makes me think, like, alright, who else is in like the hot seat? Him. Um, well not hot seat, but just like this is like a like last chance, type or last chance, but before people start looking at stuff like alright, this is this is what he's gonna be because this is what this fourth year. So you got him, Trevor Lawrence, people looking at CJ Stroud now, too. Um, yeah, stuff like that.

SPEAKER_01 47:15

Oh Stroud, I forgot about Stroud. I think Stroud's in good shape.

SPEAKER_00 47:19

See, I don't know. I think Bryce is gonna be okay. I don't think it's I think this past season was gonna make a break for him.

SPEAKER_01 47:32

I think yeah, I think Bryce, yeah, I feel I agree he doesn't need uh he needs to not have the slow starts he has. Yes, because he's proven like what's weird is he regularly proves like the moment when a moment gets big, he's built, he's good. But it's just when the moments ain't big.

SPEAKER_04 47:51

That's the yeah.

SPEAKER_01 47:53

Like, oh, what's what's happening?

SPEAKER_04 47:54

Like if if he can do I think if if he doesn't have one of those Saints games, he'll be he'll be fine. I think it was against the Saints, they lost to the Saints, but he didn't throw for over a hundred yards, something like that. I forget, I think it was the first or second one. But yeah, it's one of those like eh. And you know how impatient that the NFL is. They would they want to know now and want to give you all the money up front. Here you go. Or not pay you at all. So yeah. Yeah, we'll see, man.

SPEAKER_00 48:48

Hopefully.

SPEAKER_04 48:50

No soul starts.

SPEAKER_00 48:51

Um I mean that whole team, they're about to play terrible. Yeah, but they're always they're always gonna look at Bryce. Yeah, Rico lay rushing with 53 yards.

SPEAKER_02 49:02

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04 49:08

Who else is on that? Uh Kyler Murray. I mean, he's already, I mean, what's uh he's competing against uh JJ McCarthy right now.

SPEAKER_01 49:20

Okay, nah, okay. Anyway, so this is you think this is a make or break for him? Like, yeah, do I become is this when I become a backup? Am I in my backup phase?

SPEAKER_02 49:29

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 49:30

Right. I see that. Like if he doesn't show out in Minnesota, especially with weapons like I mean Justin Jefferson, like if you can't show out there, what um, yeah, that's when he starts his journeyman to Jacoby Purset phase.

SPEAKER_00 49:51

Yeah, yo, back to the Panthers real quick. I saw a comment on one of the pictures on one of the videos that said it was somebody saying give Will Greer a real a real shot. At what at the bar? No, it was like give him a real shot at the starting position, I guess. What starting? What? Yeah, I was like, bro, get don't start this. Wait, they're saying give who so the Panthers picked up or re-signed Will Greer as a backup quarterback, like they redid the whole quarterback room, basically, or the backups, they brought in new young people behind them, so they brought Will Greer back, and they're they had a it was a video of uh Canales talking, and one of the comments was like, Give Will Greer a real shot, don't bring him out in a losing week 16. Something I was like, what do you what do you what do you mean give Will Greer a real shot? They're gonna you think they're gonna like start him again for I don't know, it's just it's one of those weird things. It's like why he's a backup. That's what he's brought, he's brought in to make Bryce better, but he's not gonna be competing for the starting job.

SPEAKER_04 51:14

Yo, no, it's while I think he's more of a camp body than anything else. He could be. What the hell? There's a new Wolverine game coming out. Oh, yeah, I need that. Oh, yeah, I need that. Oh, they oh, what that shit is gory as hell. Yep. I need it. Uh anyway, uh yeah. You love it. When does preseason start?

SPEAKER_00 51:54

SPEAKER_01 51:56

Interesting.

SPEAKER_00 51:57

They said that those uh Tootles trades made the Panthers uh schedule easier.

SPEAKER_04 52:05

Yes, because now we don't have to uh play we have to play the um the Browns at Miles Gare. But we have to play the Rams though, right? No, we don't have to play the Rams. Because they didn't win their division. Well, if nothing else, I guess that's it, people.

SPEAKER_03 52:33

SPEAKER_01 53:00

SPEAKER_04 53:00

I thought he was already retired.

SPEAKER_01 53:03

I think somebody else has thought that at the beginning of the season, but yeah. Russ has officially retired from the NFL after 14 seasons. He's probably uh is he a hall is Russ a Hall of Famer? He's probably a Hall of Famer, right?

SPEAKER_04 53:15

I mean, yeah, I mean in his house, yeah. He can walk down the hall. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 53:23

I don't think so. Yeah, it's it's a tough call. Yeah, I don't know. Um I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 53:40

I can't call it yeah, more likely he's down the line. Down the line, maybe when I first ballot, I feel like in like 15 years, they'll be like, hey, rest is still available.

SPEAKER_04 54:04
