Do people come out and are they like really celebrating? Like, oh, this is so cool. We have this, you know?

It's quite cool. Yeah, I think it's maybe because over here you go, oh, whether you cheer for the same team or not, we almost have to unionize in our support of this thing, because that's what sustains these pubs deciding to even show us these games.

It's almost like, hey, if we splinter off and all hate each other, even though, you know, if I suddenly was like a huge Arsenal fan, I have no ancestral history of like... Here's why, and my dad and my grandfather. I don't have that the way that NFL teams for sure have it. I was a part of a generation that started playing at the YMCA in 1985. And I think now that I'm 44, naturally...

I think we've come to a place where more and more people started playing youth soccer. Like my dad didn't play youth soccer. That wasn't like a viable thing. And then more and more people are just doing it to where now you've got it where, you know, just a couple of weeks ago I was in Minneapolis and I saw a pub that was open. I got up so early to go get a coffee before my flight.

Und ich ging zum einzigen Kaffeeshop, der um 6.30 Uhr geöffnet wurde. Und der Pub war offen. Und ich dachte, oh, es ist ein Fehler. Sie haben das Open-Sign geblieben. Das ist, wo wir alle gestern Abend getrunken haben. Und ich bin einfach aufgewacht, um in die Tür zu schauen. Und jedes Premier League-Spiel war auf der TV. Und ich war einfach so...

Oh Mann, ich liebe das, weil das in meiner Jugend nicht nur unerhört war. Niemand hätte aufgehört. Niemand hätte gehofft. Kein Pub hätte überhaupt gewusst, wie man diese Spiele zeigen kann. Und jetzt ist es wie in B.C. oder so etwas früh in der Morgen. Hier ist, was im Ozean läuft. Genau.

Oh, she kicked me out again, Jeff.

Oh, she kicked me out again, Jeff.

In a depressing way, I greatly miss having a team and I greatly miss going to battle as a team and having that camaraderie and being out there for each other. Because you really get that across the board, I think, in team sports. Jetzt spiele ich sogar in der Männerliga. Ich spiele am Sonntagabend. Ich spiele manchmal am Sonntag.

Ich spiele, wenn ich kann, aber es ist weniger so, als das zu probieren. Das kann nur so lange existieren. Jetzt bist du nur ein älterer Typ, der für das Kardio arbeitet. And if we lose the game, I don't give a shit. I'm like, yeah, great, we lost. Nobody's injured. Everyone can still go to work on Monday.

It's heartbreaking. I want to be in a halftime and I want a couple guys bleeding and somebody having to... Give that cinematic speech. I mean, I was captain of the team on the senior year and I loved nothing more than getting the guys fired up. And I don't know where these things came from, but I knew how to do it.

I knew what to say in the huddle before kickoff and I knew what to say at halftime to get everybody ready to fucking rage. And I miss that so much. Can you remember any of the soliloquies? Anything? I would just say whatever Russell Crowe said in Gladiator.
