Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Lemonade Stand. We have the thin yellow line of podcasting that keeps all of us safe. Hard at work here. Wolfing down a gigantic sandwich as we start recording. Thank you for your service.
Thank you.
I feel like you're making fun of me.
No, I'm not. I think podcasters are the hardest workers in the world. I think your hat represents that. Also, for the record, it is July. It is 90 degrees. Safety first, though, Doug. You're right. It's hot out in the sun. It is hot out there.
I picked up another job. I've been busy. And I barely have time to eat.
And you are making fun of me right now. I shouldn't make fun of you. I do know that times are tough at mogul moves here and the yard collectively. So you needed a fourth job.
So I started doing a little construction like two days a week. Because you know my history in construction. Not to mention the thin yellow line. This right here? That's the fucking edge between society falling apart. You got a thin yellow line right here.
No, no, don't touch it. That's American grit right there. I know you can't handle seeing a true blue-collar American sitting in front of you.
I know, it does make me uncomfortable. My hands are so soft.
People like you are why we don't win the World Cup.
Yeah, that's exactly right. And so I wanted to ask you as a true blue-collar worker, have you been watching the World Cup at all? Is that something you've been keeping your eye on?
I was not watching that gay European sport.
Crazy, because you've been absconding every weekend to fly to matches and watch them in person.
You've been near every match. You are like those Republicans who are homophobic yet on Grindr.
No, I went to Dallas. I flew to Dallas. Yeah. And I went to hang out with my old boy, Todd, who works on the ranch. I went to Filthy McNasty's. Okay. I skipped the game because, again, I hate that sport. Yeah. I hate that sport.
Based on photos, you're hanging out with your Swedish doctor friend and went to a World Cup game. It's hard to pin down the truth here. But I like where your head's at. However, this is a World Cup-themed episode, so you're going to have to keep up a little bit. This is our bracket with the current World Cup. I know a lot of you have either been watching or paying attention or at least know about what's going on in the ether. And we have realized a stunning truth. You can use the news from each country to predict the winner of the soccer matches. So far, this has been true. So far, this has been 100% accurate.
Because Belgium famously has a lot more news happening than America.
Exactly. America had a news drought. Just torched us. And they 4-1'd us on that. And so we're going to keep this theme going. We've each brought pieces of news from all of the round of eight teams, one of which has not happened yet. That will happen live as we're recording.
It is literally. currently going on. So we are going to give news stories about the seven confirmed teams in the round of eight World Cup. And then at the end of the episode, we'll tell you who's going to win, who's going to win, but also who just won. This is your live news for the World Cup tomorrow when you hear this.
So we prepped, you're telling me. Yeah, we prepped. We prepped stories for all these countries. Yeah, you were assigned some. I think I misunderstood. Because I got, I'll be honest, I got three news stories, but it's Texas, Louisiana, and Florida.
I got three big stories. Just swap the name out. No one will know the difference. I'll just pretend. I'll just say it was Spain. Just say it was Spain. I'll swap out the Morocco story with Louisiana and see if people think it's real.
