Chapter 1: What time did Luis wake up thinking he was late for work?
Football is back, Jack The beautiful game is on a roll And we'll have an eye on every goal Shouting magisterial, no need to back down Just park the bus, stop the attack With the hand of God, put your header back on track Football is back, Jack Mbappe's flying through the air Ronaldo's here for one last prayer. Will Messi come out to play? Or is it victory for the USA?
It's corner kicks when the box is packed. That's how you know that football is back, Jack. Let me hear you say, football, football, football. Football is back, Jack. The time is here, open the gates. The long wait is over, so we'll yell, let's go, States. No need to back down. Just strike the ball, start the attack. If you say this game's the best, I'll say it's a gag. Football is back, Jack.
All right.
Chapter 2: What are the highlights of the USA World Cup squad?
We did it, everyone. Give it up for Friday. Everybody, give it up for Friday. Good job. Come on now. How about that? We made it through the week. Look at this crew. We got Roy and we got Chris and we have Mike and Tony. And out on the West Coast is our pal Dave Damaschek. Hello, Dave. How are you this morning? No hands. It's soccer season, everybody. I'm doing great.
Chapter 3: What are the latest updates on Giannis trade talks?
How are you? How about that? They play the World Cup games out there on the West Coast, too? You're into it? That's right. I believe, if my sources are correct, there's a soccer game this evening in SoFi Stadium involving these United States. It's Los Angeles Stadium. Is that what they're calling it? Important correction. Yeah, you can't call any of the stadiums by their unapproved sponsors.
Is that true? Yes, that's true. MetLife is New York, New Jersey Stadium. Hard Rock is Miami Stadium. Really?
Chapter 4: How are fans reacting to Jalen Brown's tweet about neighbors' rice?
Yeah, you didn't know that? They cover up everything. All the sponsors. All the sponsors have to be covered up. Mercedes-Benz, there's just a big banner that covers the Mercedes-Benz logo, and it just says World Cup. You know how Hard Rock Stadium has the Hard Rock signage in each end zone? You have to put a sign over that. Why is that exclusively a World Cup thing?
Like, when the national championship is here, they don't cover up Hard Rock Stadium. No, because FIFA is its own government. Pablo did a fascinating episode of Pablo Torre Finds Out, and they get into that specific detail. Zaz, it's not just the window dressing of covering up the signage on the stadiums.
internally your local governments have to refer to that stadium as miami stadium so you're telling me on the broadcast when i'm watching the game you know whenever the first game on television is here at hard rock stadium they're going to call it miami stadium that's correct in fact if you live in an area that has road signs that point to the corporate sponsor that don't just say stadium but say you know hard rock stadium it'll have to be changed to
Miami like on the turnpike I drive here I take the turnpike every morning driving here I pass Hard Rock Stadium every single morning you're telling me that on Monday because I didn't look today when I look at the signs it's not going to say Hard Rock Stadium it's going to say Miami Stadium that's Everybody in internal comms, your local government has to.
Chapter 5: What insights were shared about the Stanley Cup Finals?
This was a ridiculous detail because I knew about the stadium itself and the stadium grounds and how FIFA takes over and how they are with sponsorships. I didn't know written into the contract that your local government has to fully assimilate and give itself over to them. And if the announcer slips up and says the hard rock, they just get killed. No trial, no jury. On the spot.
And then Chris Whittingham gets tagged in. Oh, all right, so there's something to root for. He says, brilliant, I'm here now. Yeah, yeah, he's on the sidelines. He's signed an agreement that when they execute, because it will happen, when they execute Ian Dark, he just gets slotted in.
That's exciting.
What if he slips? Then he's dead. Then we'll watch the game in silence, and no one will make a mistake. Speaking of mistakes...
Chapter 6: Why is Mariska Hargitay considered a big winner in the NBA Finals?
Chris Cody, what happened with Lewis this morning? Oh, my God. It was last night. Lewis, our video guy. Shout out to Lewis, by the way, for everything he does around here. Just love Lewis.
All right. But last night at 745, I get a panic text. Well, I get a missed call. And I'm like, oh, my God, why is Lewis calling me right now? And then I see a text of him saying, dude, I'm running late. I missed my alarm. I'm so sorry.
And I'm like. At what time is this?
Chapter 7: What challenges did Mariska face to attend the Knicks game?
At 745 p.m. last night. I'm like, oh, my God, we have a nighttime recording. Like, I'm late for something. I start freaking out. And then I like right back. I'm like, what meeting? What alarm? That is, by the way, it's I think I've told you guys this. I have recurring dreams. I have like three or four recurring dreams. And that is one of my newer. Well, no, it's not even newer.
But that is one of my recurring dreams that I am late to work and just this panic that washes over me. You may continue.
Chapter 8: How does the episode wrap up with reflections on sports fandom?
So he realizes that he he thought he woke up at 745 last night from a nap.
thinking it was 7.45 in the morning and that he was absurdly late for work. He went downstairs.
He's mad at his wife for not waking him up. His wife's sitting there feeding their kids dinner. And what he thought she was feeding them breakfast. He thought it was breakfast. He said that it was 7.45 p.m., so it was like that time of day where it looked similar to early morning. It's like dusky, like twilight. And I was honestly cracking up at my house at the idea of Louis.
He said he brushed his teeth. That's happened to me once before when I was in high school. I put on my uniform. I started having breakfast, and I was like, why the hell is PTI on? Brushed his teeth. That happened to me once in high school as well where I went to sleep, probably like 10, 30, 11 p.m., and I woke up thinking it was morning. I gathered my clothes. I went upstairs. I showered.
I put my clothes on, I brushed my teeth, I did everything. I went through my entire morning routine, and then I went into the kitchen, like, maybe to grab some orange juice or something, and I saw the time on the kitchen microwave, and it said, like... 1220 AM. And I realized what happened. You know what happened here? I realized what happened.
At some point during that day, the power must have went down in my house. And my alarm is on. And what happens with those electronic alarms when the power goes out? It resets to midnight, to 12 AM. So my alarm was now set instead of 530 in the morning, was set at midnight. I was probably asleep for an hour My alarm went off. I went up. I showered. I brushed my teeth. I'm fully clothed.
And I'm like, what the fuck? Yeah, yeah. Mine was just a really good nap. And I was like halfway through my breakfast of two Entenmann's rich frosted chocolate donuts and a tall glass of milk. And I was like, why are Wilbon and Kornheiser on? Dave, that's never happened to you. By the look of your face, I can tell it hasn't. No, that's bizarre.
I mean, the closest thing I've had to that was once I was sitting in an airport at the gate waiting to board the flight, and I was on my laptop and doing it, waiting and waiting, when are we going to board? And eventually I got immersed in whatever I was looking at online, and eventually I picked my head up. I'm like, when are we boarding this, and where is everybody else?
And then I went up to the gate agent, and they said, that thing boarded like 20 minutes ago, and everybody – is on there and the flight took off already. And I said, how... What the hell? How did I completely miss the entire process of calling? It's now your turn to get on the flight. And the entire 45-minute long process somehow eluded me while I was sitting right there.
