You are listening live to the program. Your teams, your town, your program. As night falls in the loudest stadium in the world, it is bathed not in red tonight, but in white. Right up the gut. What a ball that is. Messi on the turn. Options on his side. Lino Messi. There's your goal. There's the magic man again. Alexis McAlister. The Dixon on the save. The rebound is Messi's second goal.

And now, wondering how good Landell Messi would be if he knew about CBD, Soren Petro.

0

We are located right near Chatham Road in the Northland, 6302 North Chatham Ave. Is it Chatham Road or Chatham Ave? I've got both written down here. Ave? Oh, okay. By the way, I'll ask you something else, Kyle.

108.035 - 124.447 Petro Siebel

Am I in Parkville or Quivira? Okay, good. Good to know. I think I'm in the Parkville location here in the Northland. You can stop on by. You know, when we're live at a CBD American Shaman, it means it's buy one, get one free.

Chapter 2: What challenges did fans face getting to the stadium?

183.106 - 191.458 Petro Siebel

You also can get some great products for your pets. Dogs. You got a dog that, you know, Curtis's dog hated the thunder.

0

191.679 - 193.001 Dax Shepard

Oh, my God. Right. Fireworks.

0

They have high quality CBD products designed to support your wellness, your pet's wellness, I should add. You'll find balance if you are looking for that. Topical oils.

0

220.151 - 240.516 Petro Siebel

We tell the story. Our buddy, his dad was a mason. And was basically going to have to give up the... The gig, he was going to retire because his hands hurt so bad, and the topical oils took away the pain, and he was able to work for another five years. So if you've been experiencing pain and you want to try one of their topical oils, come on in. It would be a great time.

240.536 - 257.992 Petro Siebel

They've got great folks here that are happy to answer any and all of your questions here at CBD American Shaman. Just stop on in. We will be here until 6 o'clock. Like I said, free samples every day and today only at the Parkville location. Buy one, get one free. At this location, we're in Parkville.

258.032 - 278.109 Petro Siebel

I'd call it, if I were to describe it, I've given you the GPS, the street address, 6302 North Chatham Ave, KCMO 64151, if you really have to go that far into it. If you do, you probably need a new phone. I can't help you with that here. But just something to think about, you know. Just saying. But I will tell you, yeah, just saying. I'm just saying.

278.65 - 290.733 Petro Siebel

But we're basically, I would call it the southwest corner of Chatham and 64th. just west of I-29. That's the easiest way, don't you think?

291.015 - 291.921 Dax Shepard

Absolutely.

Chapter 3: How did Lionel Messi perform during the match?

0

374.875 - 378.919 Dax Shepard

That was one of the recent addresses you looked up. That does that to me all the time.

0

378.959 - 400.099 Petro Siebel

That would be great. If that was the case. Yeah, but you're giving me too much credit. I'm sure I was screwing around with something, thinking I was really efficient and hit the wrong thing. So, scrambled to get everything plugged in. But now, we're all plugged in. We're ready to go. And we know that coming up in a little bit, Todd Lebo will be with us in the 3 o'clock hour. We'll play the feud.

0

400.56 - 416.801 Petro Siebel

So, we'll talk about that $25 gift card we're going to give away to Nick and Jake's here. At CBD American Shaman, you can win one by playing the feud. You can bump that to a $40 gift card to Nick and Jake's if you can win the feud. Tim Grunhardt's coming up in the 4 o'clock hour. Is Timmy coming up here, or is he going to the studio?

0

418.383 - 419.124 Dax Shepard

I think he'll be here.

420.145 - 420.486 Petro Siebel

Okay.

420.506 - 423.85 Dax Shepard

Kyle was pointing to me, and I was like, I don't know what to say.

424.319 - 452.648 Petro Siebel

Whatever Tim wants, Tim gets. You know? So no Timmy up here. And then Pete Sweeney joining us in the 5 o'clock hour. So a lot of Chiefs talk coming your way. Chiefs football for you to enjoy at this time. So, you know, that's the rundown. We start with Lionel Messi. Brilliant. Not bad. Remember the guy that had that thing? He was like, brilliant. You know, I would always say that.

452.668 - 454.771 Dax Shepard

That's right. I can't remember what the product was.

Chapter 4: What impact does Messi's performance have on soccer fans?

527.952 - 547.945 Dax Shepard

Went right to it, never left. Never left the couch the whole time. Amazing drama. Just amazing drama. And the views. I'd heard a lot of people mentioning that they weren't showing the shapes of the stadiums with a lot of shots, and so it kind of didn't feel like it was U.S. We even talked about this, I think, yesterday or the day before.

0

548.686 - 555.333 Dax Shepard

There were enough shots where you could kind of see the shape of the stadium. You could tell it was Arrowhead and the early shots.

0

555.393 - 576.761 Petro Siebel

I think local fans can pick their stadium out. I don't know that somebody in Dallas went, oh, It's definitely Arrowhead the moment it came on the screen. But to your point, but listen, it was historic. It's the greatest soccer player in the world's most popular game having – You know, I mean, he's probably had, let's be honest, better games.

0

576.801 - 594.259 Petro Siebel

I mean, you can see at 38 years old, he is not the blur all over the field for 90 minutes. One, they subbed him out. But he is, and they play based upon the fact that, you know, he doesn't have quite as much in the tank. But I remember talking to Peter Vermees about this. I said, what do you think when you see him? What has he said?

0

594.48 - 613.88 Petro Siebel

I said, you know, what percentage of the best Messi are we seeing? And the way he put it, and I really saw it in watching this game last night, I think Peter was absolutely 100% right. The way he put it is he said he's 100% of what he's ever been. He's just not that 100% of the time.

614.501 - 615.562 Dax Shepard

Ah, that's perfect.

615.582 - 634.689 Petro Siebel

Right? He said, you know, and I said, so what, he can't do it? He said, no. He said he can't go for the 90 minutes like he used to. And so he kind of just drifts around. And so I would really watch where he was when he didn't have the ball. And because I had this planted in my head from Peter Vermees and and he's like, you know, he'll just kind of drift around.

634.709 - 653.758 Petro Siebel

But even when he's walking, he's always walking in the right direction. And he goes, it's kind of interesting. It'll be kind of a jog or a trot. So then all of a sudden he starts sprinting and you're not sure why. And all of a sudden, it opens up, and he is taking off at just the right time, and he's in just the right spot because he saw it two moves beforehand.

653.778 - 664.272 Petro Siebel

Like, he is playing kind of like the way I think sometimes Patrick Mahomes looks playing quarterback. He is two moves down the board before anybody else sees it. Yeah.

Chapter 5: What are the logistics issues surrounding major events like this?

729.679 - 755.896 Dax Shepard

It still didn't stop it, though. And there's a video out there. I reposted it on my on my Twitter profile of like referee cam who he follows the ball. And you kind of see the speed and the quickness with which he makes that move. And on the third one, and maybe it's, you know, an old hat to people who watch that game a lot at that level, but you see the difference between the best and others.

0

756.837 - 781.785 Dax Shepard

When the pass comes to them, their ability to control it and then fire. Yeah. His ability to control that ball with his left foot, get his balance, and then fire the shot. And it's just like... You don't have to understand soccer really very much to appreciate how good he is and how good the game is itself, but him in particular, just a ridiculously skilled player.

0

782.474 - 804.763 Petro Siebel

Yeah, it was, you know, I mean, you see the brilliance. Even as a casual fan or even as not watching the game, you can see the brilliance of what he does out there. And so, you know, the moment, packed house, it's the World Cup, it's in Kansas City. I mean, I'm sure it was a really big moment for people all over, certainly in Argentina. But I mean, even other countries, soccer fans everywhere.

0

805.103 - 822.114 Petro Siebel

It was a big moment to see the greatest player. You know, arguably the greatest player. Many people now, I think everyone now is going to say that, but I'm sure there's an old crowd that's like, shut up, Pele. You know, there are other names you could put out there, but he's no doubt one of, if not the greatest player of all time.

0

822.695 - 840.791 Petro Siebel

And to, one, tie the record for goals and to do it with a hat trick, his first hat trick, It is an amazing moment. Yeah. And then wrapped around it are Argentinian fans celebrating in the stands, around your city, leading up to the game, after the game, everywhere.

840.831 - 847.023 Dax Shepard

The spiral ramp. Just hanging out. I would have loved to have been there.

847.143 - 847.243

Yeah.

848.354 - 874.546 Petro Siebel

It is an iconic moment in the history of this city. And I just don't know how you could watch that. First of all, I don't know how if you are a fan of competition, right? People like to say, I'm a huge sports fan. And then, oh, but I hate golf. All right, so you're not a fan of competition, right? Like, I would rather watch – we've talked about this before. Danny and I have talked about it.

875.047 - 893.802 Petro Siebel

I'll watch poker. It's competition. I'll watch cornhole. OK, and especially if it's the best in the world at it. I mean, you watch Cornell and they put it in the hole every single time. Right. And then once just on the edge and then they managed to go over the top of it. It's like you said about curling. What the hell do we know about curling?

Chapter 6: How can Kansas City improve its transportation for events?

996.01 - 997.212 Dax Shepard

Yeah, I'm finding it here.

0

997.748 - 1021.68 Petro Siebel

If you take that at its essence, it's not a competition, right? I just stated I love competition. Every statement by somebody is not a competition, and it's not an insult to you. Let me tell you what I just have. Like, the jar is completely empty on blanks to give. For the people that got to tell me they don't like soccer...

0

1021.913 - 1035.428 Petro Siebel

Any time the word soccer is mentioned or especially the people that when soccer is not mentioned, feel a need to go ahead and tell me that they don't like soccer.

0

1035.448 - 1044.698 Dax Shepard

What was Nate's tweet? He said Kansas City has never quite partied like this. Absolute scenes. And it was a series of scenes from the party down at PNL.

0

1044.982 - 1067.612 Petro Siebel

Okay. And so they've never quite partied like this. Yeah. Not this is the greatest party. Kansas City never has. Because when we had the Royals parade, when we had the Chiefs parade, there were not tons of people from other countries there celebrating. It's a different celebration than Kansas City's ever seen.

1067.672 - 1093.232 Petro Siebel

And thank you to everybody who worked so hard and continue to work so hard to put this event on in Kansas City. It's amazing. Okay. And just enjoy it. Every statement that is a positive about the World Cup is not somehow a negative about a Super Bowl. It's not a negative about a conference championship game. It's not a negative about Patrick Mahomes. It's not a negative about football.

1093.252 - 1124.551 Petro Siebel

It's not a negative about baseball. You stiff. You absolute stiff. Things can be good. I cannot comprehend. Listen, I don't like beats. I don't eat beets. I don't want to smell beets. But you know what I don't do? Everyone who meets me, the third sentence out of my mouth is not, I don't like beets. Beets are terrible. When somebody brings up beets. Maybe it's spinach.

1124.591 - 1140.797 Petro Siebel

I'm trying to think of something that's more mainstream. Beets don't come up a lot. But my point is, can you imagine if every day I came into work... especially if I worked in a restaurant, because soccer comes up when you work in sports. And I'm like, oh, yeah, by the way, I hate beets. Oh, God, I hate beets. I don't know why people eat beets. Beets suck. Beets don't smell good.

1141.118 - 1168.675 Petro Siebel

Like, how many times would I have to tell you I don't like beets before you're like, get the blank away from me? Okay? Hey, anti-soccer guy, I got it. But shut the blank up. You don't have the bandwidth to like soccer. Okay. I'm not the biggest soccer fan. I'm not Nate. I'm not Jake. I'm pretty big. My passion for the game really seems to grow every year.

Chapter 7: What changes are needed for better event accessibility?

1168.715 - 1190.793 Petro Siebel

It's definitely going to grow from watching this. But I'm not the biggest guy. And I don't go around telling everybody, oh, man. I love F1. I probably say it enough times that a few people are annoyed. I'm a huge F1 fan. But I also don't tell everybody I hate this. It will drive you crazy if every day I come on the show and tell you I hate Beats. Oh, we're getting some food?

0

1190.853 - 1217.481 Petro Siebel

Just don't get me any Beats. Because I hate Beats. Beats are awful. Listen, all you... We got it. We now know who you are. That you don't like soccer. Now shut up about it. There are movies that come out that I know I'm not going to like. Okay? I don't really kind of get it. I'm sure it's funny. But the little yellow guys... What are the... Minions? They make a movie every six weeks? The Minions.

0

1217.922 - 1237.359 Petro Siebel

Every six weeks, a new Minions movie comes out. I watched one with my kids. I was like, eh. But you know what I don't do? I don't drive down to the local AMC theater and stand outside going, you know, I hate the Minions. The Minions, I don't get it. It's annoying. The Minions suck. The Minions, I don't get it. I get the yellow guys. Go, hey, have you heard that new big movie's coming out?

0

1237.679 - 1255.566 Petro Siebel

Boy, can't wait to see it. It's going to be awesome. Oh, yeah, it should be good. As long as it's not the Minions. Because I can't stand the Minions. I don't like the Minions. Do you know how insufferable that gets? That is you people out there. This is not the time. I will ask you this. How much freaking attention do you need? Did mommy not love you enough?

0

1255.987 - 1279.075 Petro Siebel

Did daddy not hug you when he came home? What is your psychological issue that in the midst of others having a good time, that's fine that you don't have the bandwidth, the interest, the ability, the I don't know what to where you could look at this moment and go, maybe I'll give it. I'll suspend my hatred of soccer for five minutes. First of all, I don't know how you could hate a sport.

1279.679 - 1291.82 Petro Siebel

I don't know anything about it. Nobody makes me play it. I don't have to buy it. I don't have to spend any money on it. But I've chosen to hate it. You know what it is? You're insecure. Others are having fun. It's FOMO.

Chapter 8: What is the overall reflection on the World Cup experience in Kansas City?

1292.581 - 1317.291 Petro Siebel

I'm missing out. But I've always said it sucked. So I'm going to stay with it sucking. It's the most insufferable, annoying. I'm so tired of that. And I'm not even the big soccer guy. Right? Like, it just... I don't understand. Great. The world's most popular sport. You don't want in on it. Fine. Don't get in on it. Don't get in on it.

0

1317.572 - 1332.325 Petro Siebel

But stop running down to the venue or stop when a conversation's going on. This is when I hear it. Other people are talking about soccer and it's like... Oh, you're talking about soccer? Well, hang on. No one's paying attention to me because I don't know anything about soccer. So let me tell you, I don't like soccer.

0

1332.566 - 1355.277 Petro Siebel

Let's make it the same tired-ass debate that it's been for 20 years that I don't like soccer. Soccer's not good. I mean, how can you like it? They don't score enough. They don't do this. They don't do that. Shut up. Shut up. You're the dork. You're the loser. And we're all tired of hearing it. Even other people. I had a buddy who goes, yeah, I can't stand so-and-so because I don't like soccer.

0

1355.497 - 1372.606 Petro Siebel

It's not my thing. But he goes, you know what I really don't like? I don't like the people who really don't like soccer because they talk more about soccer than people who like soccer. Because people who like soccer find out that I'm not really a soccer fan. You know what they don't talk to me about? Soccer. But people who don't like soccer find out that I also don't like soccer.

0

1372.847 - 1392.79 Petro Siebel

You know what they talk to me about constantly? Soccer. I was like, you know, that's an amazing perspective. He's like, he goes, I don't get it. It's not my thing. I go, are you going to watch any of the World Cups? He goes, I'll probably check it out. But he goes, I'm not anticipating liking it. Okay. He goes, but yeah. He goes, you know, because we were having this discussion several weeks ago.

1393.131 - 1413.858 Petro Siebel

He goes, oh, there's nothing worse than a guy who hates soccer. He goes, I'm not a soccer fan. He goes, but I've learned to differentiate myself from the people who hate soccer. He goes, because I can't stand those people. Because when they find out that I'm not a soccer guy, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't take it either. It's good. No, no, no, no, no, no. For God's sake. Enough. Enough.

1414.779 - 1437.751 Petro Siebel

One of the most iconic moments in the history of competition. One of the most iconic moments in the history of sports took place in your backyard last night at one of the more iconic stadiums this country has ever known. Ever. Has ever known. With arguably the most famous, maybe greatest player in the history of team sports. And you didn't like it. Well, blank off. Enough.

1438.091 - 1457.168 Petro Siebel

I don't want to hear from you. That's fine. The rest of us that either casually or intensely enjoyed it are going to have a chat over here. You go over there and find something else to talk about. 9133-810-810, 9133-810-810. We'll take a break. We've got a lot of Chiefs football we want to get into. We'll talk some more about the World Cup.

1457.951 - 1474.126 Petro Siebel

I do have a number of things we want to talk about here today beyond soccer. And, of course, as I said, a lot of Chiefs football coming your way. Tim Grunhardt's going to be with us. Pete Sweeney's going to be with us. Lebo. Will be with us. We'll play the few. Todd was out at the match. We'll talk about the match with him coming up.
