52.467 - 83.129 Todd Leabo

Right you are. Very exciting morning in Kansas City with the Dutch fans marching down Grand. And now... It kind of stinks because it's going to rain. It's going to mess up some of this stuff. They are going to clear the FanFest out right now, okay? They hope to open it later today. But a lot of these folks just got down there, and they're going to be – this is early game tonight.

Chapter 2: How is the weather affecting the FanFest experience?

92.337 - 118.283 Dax Shepard

Maybe later. Stay tuned. But the pictures and videos have just been amazing. There's one high up shot of the entire length of the march. And it's just incredible. It's just incredible. By the way, that song, I actually kept hearing that song for those wondering. That was an artist called Snolobolicus. If you want to put that in your playlist, spell that for me.

0

118.383 - 130.486 Dax Shepard

I think it's S-N-O-L-L-E-B-O-L-L-E-K-E-S. Traditional spelling. Yeah. And the song is called... It's, I just looked it up. No, I forgot what it was.

Chapter 3: What unique aspects characterized the Netherlands' march in Kansas City?

131.569 - 145.46 Dax Shepard

It is linksrechts, L-A-N-K-S-R-E-C-H-T-S, in Dutch and German, and it just says left, it's just left, right. So that's when you hear them going, nar links. Now Rex, they're just saying now left.

145.58 - 146.401 Todd Leabo

Links is left?

0

156.197 - 175.024 Todd Leabo

So, you know, you've seen on social media and you've heard about this thing coming. We've been talking about it for nearly a year that this group of fans was going to come here. This big bus that they have, they shipped it. from the Netherlands to Galveston, and they had their first couple matches down in Texas, so it was down in Texas, then it drove up here.

0

175.445 - 195.858 Todd Leabo

I saw a picture of it the other day at the Gardner Walmart, you know, so it was coming up, 35, and then it's been here, and, you know, so it's a wild scene. So tonight, hopefully everything weather-wise will work out with... The Netherlands and Tunisia in the third match here in Kansas City in the group stage. So it's been a fun day already.

Chapter 4: How did the Royals perform in their recent games?

196.059 - 217.097 Todd Leabo

Right now, like I said, don't go to FanFest right now. FanFest is closed for now. We have some weather coming in. My prediction is it's going to rain a lot. I hope it's not going to be severe. And this might be actually a better match to have at 8 o'clock instead of 6. Yeah, no kidding. It is what it is. It is what it is. We'll deal with it. But there's only, I think, been one weather delay so far

0

217.077 - 239.799 Todd Leabo

here in this and that was in philly the other day they had a couple hour rain delay in the french match so we're going to talk to bethany bowman our own bethany bowman she's been down there at the march we're going to talk to her here this hour find out what she thought About the March, and we will talk to Blair Kirkhoff later of The Star.

239.819 - 254.948 Todd Leabo

He's going to be covering the match. We will also play There Can Be Only One. Kyle, you have all the questions, right? You got that all worked out? I do, and I've got Petro's answers. Petro's answers. Did you send them today or did you send them before? I sent them about noon today. But did he send you his answers before or after he started drinking beer in New York with his German friends?

0

254.928 - 263.956 Todd Leabo

After? All right. We like these answers, then. This will be fun. Look around. So Petro's in New York with his buddy George, who is a big fan of Germany.

He's interviewed on Sky TV.

0

267.359 - 277.709 Todd Leabo

Did you see the video of New York City? Times Square looks like the Orange Army, but it's the Germans. Very cool. And they're up there dancing and singing as well. So this is a pretty wild day.

0

277.729 - 281.412 Dax Shepard

Yeah, the place they're at is about three blocks from the heart of Times Square.

0

281.732 - 284.935 Todd Leabo

Yeah. And so it got wild there.

284.915 - 290.124 Dax Shepard

Empire State Building. Yeah, everything's about a couple miles away from wherever. Everything's a couple miles away.

290.144 - 296.154 Todd Leabo

So we'll have Petro's answers on that. We're going to play Stump the Chumps, and Darcy is going to be our guy.

Chapter 7: How does the World Cup impact local events and community spirit?

296.454 - 312.556 Todd Leabo

Darcy? He's never done this before. True. And he came to me. He said, is it all right if I have like eight or ten answers? I said, that's okay. It could be better. Just not two. It's okay. Not two or three. It'll be all right. So we don't know. I've got 20 on the one I've got right now. Kyle, what are your guesses? You know Darcy.

0

Chapter 8: What are the future matchups for the Netherlands and USA in the World Cup?

312.756 - 327.399 Todd Leabo

Are these going to be some silly questions? No. It'll be okay. I think these will be all right. Okay. We're going to be all right. So we'll have that, and we will talk to David Leske in the 5 o'clock hour, if we must, to talk about these Royals, who yesterday we were talking about how the Royals have been playing pretty well and all this stuff.

0

327.419 - 334.851 Todd Leabo

And I said, you know, by the time we get on here tomorrow, they could have lost two games. And you know what they did? They lost two games. They lost two games, and it wasn't particularly good in either one of them.

0

334.871 - 336.373 Dax Shepard

Not close games either.

0

336.573 - 344.806 Todd Leabo

No. So the only thing, good or bad or whatever, that happened today with the Royals is they didn't get no hit, but it wasn't pretty.

0

345.447 - 354.46 Dax Shepard

Preview my sports center lead, L-E-D-E. When the best thing happens to you in a game is that you didn't get no hit, you've had a rough day.

354.58 - 378.011 Todd Leabo

Yeah, yeah. They had to resort to Tyler Tolbert pitching. He threw a 48-mile-an-hour pitch. That was hit 480 miles. Yeah, it was hit, blasted off some sort of structure there before it got to the seats. They have a ring of lights that's around the stadiums. There's some odd rules, ground rules at that stadium.

378.571 - 387.363 Todd Leabo

And they have got this net up or something that holds their banners up from their division championships, and it hit off that thing. And I don't think that happens all the time.

387.584 - 393.733 Dax Shepard

No. I mean, when the ball lands, it's a home run. And it lands. About 80 feet in front of the wall?

393.993 - 394.254 Todd Leabo

Yes.
