Just going back to the World Cup, I can feel the Pinder disgust in, you know, obviously in Jack.
And then there was some towards me.
Just look at the look at his face.
It's just kind of, well, the biggest sporting event in the world.
It is that.
I've never watched it once.
I don't do so.
Why, you're busy.
I like the cavalry.
I like the cavalry.
Is Tommy coach in Canada?
Should.
Nope.
There is a Cavs player on the roster.
Joel Waterman was here year one for the Cavs.
I coached the goalie.
Peter, Bill.
There you go.
Peter, man.
Elaine.
Elaine.
I'm kind of in between here with this because I actually really enjoy the World Cup.
I can't decide what your take on this is.
If you're doing it to annoy him or if you, I know that you're not.
No, I could just see how annoyed he is.
I know.
That's what I mean.
I'm okay with you not liking the World Cup.
That's okay.
It's just that you like to really lean into not liking it.
where you can just the other choices respect that it is the most popular sporting event
in the history of mankind bigger than the summer Olympics 10fold the Super Bowl
this one event will bring in like five billion it's crazy
that doesn't oppressor I know but it's just you know there's other parts of the world
yeah no it's it's that attitude because I'm not saying anything about it no but you're
deliberately don't say anything about it because if I didn't say something about a sporting thing
it'd be like, well, that's your job.
You should do that.
That would be your reply.
I mean, we talk a lot about soccer?
No, but the world comes around.
Do we talk about the Olympics?
Yeah, the World Cup should transcend sport.
Right?
And how much Olympics?
Like, were you on people for not watching bobsledding?
We fricking live streamed from hockey.
Hockey.
Like, people watch the Olympics.
It transcends sport.
It is more than just sport.
But if trying to argue,
no, I'm just saying if you don't watch the Olympics,
you don't get chastised for it.
But if you don't, you know, oh, well, it's the biggest event in the world.
How are you not watching?
I think you're cherry picking.
I think you're cherry picking.
I'm not cherry picking.
Oh, that's your opinion, but I think you're wrong.
You're 100% because it's quite a bit bigger.
It's every four years.
Right.
I appreciate the size and the magnitude.
You can't.
So you didn't watch the Olympics.
We were to get, you saw how much.
That was not the question.
Don't go into.
No.
When you were at home, you didn't turn on the Olympics.
No, I did not.
I feel sad for you being a sports.
It's not, but it's, it's, it's a sports fan.
It's different things.
It's two different things.
This is one sport.
I find the Olympics, it's like,
you didn't watch the Olympics.
And there's curling and there's down,
there's skiing and all this sort of thing.
It's, it's, it's soccer.
And I get it's huge.
I'm just, I'm not, I'm not, I,
I'm never into soccer.
And then when this happens, I'm still not into it.
It's like, well, fuck.
It's the biggest thing in the world.
How are you not?
Well, I'm never.
like it's the opposite.
I'm not cherry picking.
I'm not now bandwagon hopping.
I was like,
it's just not my thing.
This is the biggest event.
And it's still not my thing.
And it's okay.
You're making a great statement about it.
That's good.
No one's forced to be your thing.
I don't care.
Olympics don't have to be your thing either.
It's just when you start dragging other people that are into it.
That's when it gets in.
No,
I just the look on your face.
Like that's just annoying.
Is that people are legitimately excited about it and you're the wet blanket at the party.
See?
You're being pooped.
poopy pants about it. Rather than a lot of people enjoy it, you're dragging them down.
We're not trying to rope you in. We know you don't give a shit. We're fine with that.
You are the king of not giving a shit. No one makes it easier than you. But like when we try to get
into it now, it's like little poking and ripping. It's not what I'm doing.
Who beat, who beat Bosnia? Yeah, like playing dumb. That's exactly what it's on. I didn't know.
I didn't know they were not playing. I did not know who. So in qualifying a European team would
have played the host. I don't know anything about it, Ryan. That's correct to. I don't know anything
about it because I'm not into it.
I don't know Cutter from Boz. I don't
fucking know any of it. I don't know who they've played.
I don't know what 0 and 6. Like I have
no clue.
Oh and 6.
What their record? You said they're 0.6.
It's like, okay, that's the first I've heard.
It's first. They've been to two ever.
So it's a big deal for this country because this is every four
years since ever. And they made it before
I was born once. I think it was 1980.
And so once as a grown adult, they've made it to this tournament.
And that was the first time. That was a great achievement.
this time they're actually a club that's, you know,
you could argue as a top 30 club in the world that's got a good chance to do things.
Come out of group,
play, win their first World Cup game.
If you're a fan of sport in this country,
it's going to swallow up most of you because it is unprecedented ground
for this country in the sport.
Like how many games will they play?
They have three in group and then they probably come out of group
because it's every first and second place team plus eight third place teams will move along.
So they're really going to have shit the bad.
They're not going to have a shit the bad.
And then they'll have an elimination game.
We'll see the caliber of their opponent.
So I would say you'd set the over at four.
And that's going to take a month.
You play every six days.
Lazy, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, and then your elimination games.
Getting out of group's not as crazy as it, or oppressive as it was before.
When you're out of group, 32 teams would be left.
That was the original size of the World Cup last time we played.
They added half the field.
It's 48 teams now.
It's insane.
Too many.
However, you'll see later,
on the show that I'm very excited.
I was literally begging you would throw to that in the middle of the I don't give a shit rant.
I want to stretch it.
I want to put them off in between that.
Yeah, that's probably fair.
And that's coming up.
Jack.
We're just to give a quick wardrobe change and have a drink.
Yeah.
Let's go.
We're going for a drink.
I also enjoy the activities.
Ryan.
You've got to change the topic because we're going to be arguing.
Look, I'm excited.
It's today.
This is,
it's all this show is about,
What are we, what do we think?
I beat up Kevin McKinman,
because he was a soccer player when we were kids at Silverwood
High School. He said that soccer was a,
no wonder he's so back and done.
So he was a fully tip. Like to be clear,
by my, there's no mission here.
I know. Try and suck the fun out of it.
It might not be the mission. I don't care. It may be happening.
I don't play it off as you, but you do like to suck a little bit.
It's more pender than anything.
Listen, whatever. He does the Pinder report and he deliberately
says, you know, Dean, you know,
like, Jack, this is your way
of, kind of, like, if it was any
event, if they was pole vaulting,
like, I'd be like, twice a pole vaulting.
Hey, it's, you know, it's a Pinder
thing. It's not a World Cup. Have you seen?
Go on YouTube and
punch in pole vaulting.
Gorgeous. Yeah, yeah.
Absolutely.
Good. That's an a little bit of
spend the afternoon watching Pole Vault.
The Rockets per capita and pole vaulting is,
it's insane. Jack, find us some
Pole Volt.
Oh, Jack.
I and, okay, let's change the topic.
Did you watch any of the games yesterday?
I went to the ship for a half of the South Africa and Mexico.
It's rammed.
People sing in the anthem.
I didn't.
I was an idiot.
I totally did nothing.
I talked to another guy that's played in the game for a while.
He's retired.
Yeah.
And we were talking on the way in about.
Is this a paleo?
No.
Hockey player about doing stuff.
Well, I don't want to get a serious, too serious.
job because I want to do stuff I don't do yeah so I said well what do you do well if something comes
up right I went not gonna keep an option open yeah just to yeah don't get all if you want to
work for 40 hours a week yeah well some days I might come up it's a few years now or you know
