How can listeners call or text the show during the broadcast?

Bob Stauffer 2:34

Okay? And I am going to make an analogy to something. And I've spoken about it a couple times over the last couple of years. You ready for this? So you and you can educate our listeners here. You are from where, Big Bad Joe? From the Netherlands. From the Netherlands. A lot of people do not realize where did Barcelona's Tiki Tac originate from?

Big Bad Joe 2:57

Johan Kruev, the best soccer player ever to play on this earth.

Bob Stauffer 3:01

Johann Creiff, the dominant player of the nineteen seventy four World Cup, let's face it, West Germany, stole that World Cup that year against Holland. Um and at that time Ajax was one of the best international sides in the world. And then Kreiff went from Yaia Ajax to Barcelona. And here's where I'm going. For all of the success that Krife had as both a player and later the manager in uh Barcelona, The greatest successful run Barcelona had was when Lionel Messi was there. We can agree on that.

Big Bad Joe 3:37

Yes, I can agree on that, but Johan Clover still the better player though.

Bob Stauffer 3:41

Okay.

Big Bad Joe 3:41

And that is not because I'm Dutch.

Bob Stauffer 3:43

Okay. Well what I would say about Lionel Messi is who is he famously always compared to out of Argentina?

Big Bad Joe 3:52

I think Diego Maradona.

Bob Stauffer 3:53

Diego Maradona. And what did Diego Maradona always have on until a couple years ago on Lionel Messi? He had a World Cup, right? He had the World Cup. Yeah. Yeah. So I see this piece written and Lionel Messi finally ended up winning the uh the South American championship. And Argentina raised a whole bunch of really good players to support him. Before, you know, Brazil always had more depth than Argentina. That's why they couldn't win that uh what do they call that? The Copa? Cope America, right? They couldn't win it. They'd always come up short in that event.
