Judge. You know the wages of sin is death. That's what they say. Uh and um you try to you try to r you try to rig a you try to rig a World Cup match. Yeah. You get the justice you get the justice brought right back around on you.
You try and get the long end of the stick, you're gonna get the short end of the stick. That's right.
Um yet uh it kind of kinda felt like um I don't know, it kinda felt like uh the first time we really saw what it looks like when you s put like Premier League guys like uh against a bunch of ML uh MLS guys.
Yeah, right. No, I mean it's pretty uh it's pretty funny when you see a bunch of guys just kinda go out there and really just not have the juice. Mm-hmm. You know? Mm-hmm. Those are some guys not having the juice.
Yeah, just kinda scared, um, tentative, conservative. It was uh yeah, it wasn't it wasn't good.
No, it wasn't good. Not a lot of committing to trying to score.
Like the like the body language was just like just like nervous and and like afraid.
Honestly, like you know, I I'm a big player of the Rocket League, so I I know football well. You know a thing or two about soccer. Yeah. I know car soccer. Yeah. No, but my little brother is always like, um you have to just commit to the shot. And if you miss, then we'll probably get scored on, so don't miss. But y that doesn't mean that you cannot take the shot because then we'll get scored on anyway.
Right, right. That's right. I mean I don't know that much about Rocket League, really or soccer, so I c I'm not sure that I'm w uh.
I don't know much about soccer in or out of cars.
You once said to me that Rocket League is great because it's the only video game that's actually a sport. Correct. That's my that's my read. It's not like uh press square to do a layup, it's just like forward, backward, shoot the ball with your body.
Yeah, it's like manipulate this little car in space and it's a physics simulator. Yeah. Yeah. So like the ball bounces, the car slides. It is what it is. It's a good time.
It's cool.
Um how are you doing? Uh good. Yeah, it's been a big week of uh people making better than expected deep runs in tournaments and then sadly being cut short.
Yeah, I have no idea what you're talking about. Could you could you explain?
Well see the United States men's national team uh did better than expected and made a deep run in a tournament. Uh you could call it a deep run. Yeah. Um deeper than about as deep as we're able to do. Yeah. And then uh ran into a brick wall. Yeah. Similarly, your boy, uh on our nation's birthday, uh spent some time in uh Atlantic City, New Jersey. Um beautiful town, beautiful town, lot of casinos. Um went down there with Charlotte. Uh we saw Stavros Halkias, a great uh comedian.
Friend of the show, Stavros Hawkins.
Friend of the show, Stavi Baby. Um, we saw him perform and then just hung out for the weekend. We've got some friends down there. Um, and I was like, Well, while we're here, let's see if there's a big holiday weekend poker tournament going on at the Borgata. And there of course there was. Um so I threw my name in the hat. Uh and I said, let's get in here, let's see. Because, you know, as you may or may not know, the World Series of Poker is happening in Vegas right now.
Oh right. So all the all the best guys are not there. All the best guys are in Vegas. Wow. Perfect.
I was like, okay, this is a good time for me to get involved, right? All the best guys are in Vegas, all the drunkest guys are in Atlantic City. This seems like a place to get into it. And I am neither great nor drunk. Yeah, I'm neither great nor drunk. So like that's gotta put me in the top 15%. Yeah. Um so anyway, I got involved and uh it's a two-day tournament. So you've got a finish day one. If you Uh get to the end of day one, you are in the money, which means you are like getting a prize.
Okay. Um how and what is the number is uh total number of people end of day one, what's the difference of uh numbers there?
Okay, so there are multiple day ones for this tournament. Oh boy. So there's multiple flights of day one just because they can't like they want to have, you know, a bunch of people.
