For a while, for a couple years, we didn't seem to have any storms. We've had a lot of them blow through. One a week now. I had to get the chainsaw out. That's right. I got a power tool. Kyle, make it. I had the chainsaw out and was divvying up a big old branch that was down. There's some pride in that, you know, when you get done with that. Yep.
I did something. Yeah, I felt good. Make sure you don't get passened.
Well, yes, absolutely. You don't want to get passened because then you've got to sit front row, courtside, you know. A little Seth Lugo got passed on. Wow, I can't believe that.

Chapter 2: How does Danny Clinkscale analyze the World Cup?
A throw-in header. Throw, header, goal.
Well, you also don't see somebody crash from, I don't know what the yardage is. Oh, yeah. But he crashed from outside the box all the way to point blank on the goal to head that in. Because usually the throw doesn't come in with enough velocity to redirect it in. And then the South Korean goal, their first goal was a lot of fun because it was like a little dink.
And it's like, you know, just looped up over the goalie, and it's just dribbling, and you can see the Czech defender starts running for it. It's like, oh, is he going to get there? And it's like, oh, it looks like, oh, I should be able to get there and stop it. And it just dribbles in across the line. It was great.
Yeah, he was the one who scored the goal, too, so it was yin and yang for him. But, yeah, I wanted the Czechs to win, so I was disappointed, too, and they had a flurry of great chances at the end, but...
It was a great game. I wanted Czechia to win because you go to Europe all the time, Mr. World Traveler over there. I only got to go because my daughter had a choir trip. It was like a Mozart trip. We were basically tracking Mozart's life. And Czechia was one of the places we went. We went to Prague. So I was like, I've been there. Let's root for them. So I had a rooting interest.
So it sucked when they lost.
Well, the thing that's good for me is because I watch so much Premier League soccer, there's players all over the place that I'm familiar with. Right. Like Suchek plays for West Ham. Well, they're not in the Premier League next year. They got relegated. But that's my sister's favorite team. So she's rather bummed out right now. She doesn't have a team for next season.
So anyway, Sutec on that team. So I like watching him and I love his goal celebration. It's gleeful, gleeful.
You and Nate are the biggest soccer fans that I know. Joe's up there. Joe Spiker. He's a giant soccer fan, too. So I'm curious, do you watch the show, the Wrexham show? I forget what it's called.

Chapter 3: What are the highlights from recent World Cup matches?
They did promoted, promoted, promoted. He's at Newcastle now, but... Yeah, they're great stories. The next time I go to England, I don't know, we go to Europe quite a bit, but I haven't been to England in a while. I want to go to like a League Two game, you know, where there's 5,000 people there. Because you see that during the FA Cup, they play, you know, everybody's in it.
Every team in England is in it. So you'll see like Millwall play England. Manchester United or something. And the game's at Millwall sometimes, you know. And you're sitting there, and the pitch is kind of crappy looking. And there's 4,000 people there, and most of them are standing. And, you know, it's cool when one of those teams wins, and there was a huge upset this year.
Some team from League 3 beat Man U this year in a game. Well, yeah, I saw that. And they got, didn't they get to the semis? No, I think they made it one more. No, they lost in the next round, but it was a good game.
Yeah, they played a good game. They almost won again. I think that's, you know, that's something for American sports to take a look at. You know, I mean, I know you can't play tournaments in football and we don't have rounds and rounds of football, but for baseball to do like an open cup the way soccer does, some kind of, you know, deal like that. And I think, you know, also I would,
Put it to college football as well. Now, college football rides the coattails of the NFL. But, you know, the best of the best play lower levels. And the sport is the most popular sport in the world. Like the idea that, no, we can't go if we play down, that will somehow harm our sport. I mean, I would think that that's one of the things that like I wish the NCAA would
and the schools that were in it would be all in it for football and basketball. I think it's great. When Roy Williams would go play, tell a kid, we recruit you, you come here, we're going to go play near your home at least once. And he'd take Kansas or North Carolina to some little school and play there. It's electric. And he got burnt once or twice where he lost because of it.
But it's so good for the game and to grow the fans everywhere. And I think there's a little bit of the NFL model is a little bit of a slow burn of boxing going to pay-per-view. We can make more money right now, today, if we put this fight on pay-per-view. And now, God bless Steven, I don't know anybody else that's a boxing fan.
Like, I used to have everybody over for the fights to my house all the time. I haven't done it in... I did it, like, once when the two... Was it the last time the fat-ass champ... Oh, he's got a Netflix show now. Anyway, he's making a comeback. Anyway, I've done it like once in like the last 10 years. And I think it's because no one knows who the hell any of the boxers are anymore.
Well, look at the NBA keeps searching high and low for ways to avoid tanking. I got one for you. Relegation. You get relegated. Yeah. They could come up with a 10-team second league, no sweat. Yeah. And create, you know, if they wanted to make it bigger, fine. But if you had ready-made teams sitting there waiting to play, and, you know, for instance, you could have, say you had 10.

There have been three. The Cardinals did it one year, right? They were just barely over. The Mets were close. The Padres went one year, sub-500. 82-80. They were 82-80, the Padres? Yes. Oh, so they weren't sub-500.
Nope. And the Mets were barely over 500. Marlins back-ass in there a couple years ago? Nope. Only three have done it. All have been done in a shortened season. Two happened in 2020. Oh, well, that's not bad. But they were sub-500. They were 50-53. There's a reason why I ask this question.
Yeah, because right now 81 wins would be in the playoffs.
And it's something, if you live here locally, you might remember. The 1981 Royals were 50-53. The MLBPA strike began on this date in 1981. They did the first half and the second half. Yeah, they won the second half under Dick Hauser. That's asterisk crap. I don't think it is.

Chapter 5: What challenges are the Royals facing this season?
What was the first 500? I'm not saying it's a bad question.
I think the question sucks. No, I don't think it sucks. Who asked you? Right now, what we can say is that no sub-500 team has ever made the playoffs in a full season. Which is what I thought. That's why I was confused. Anyway, but right now, 81-81 going into today would make the playoffs in the American League.
Yeah, well, the American League stinks.
It does stink, and the Royals must feel even worse because, lo and behold, the American League is wide, wide open, and the White Sox are in first place.
From 121 wins to first place. How bad do you feel?
The Royals were in the playoffs two years ago, and the White Sox lost 121 games. And they're in first place.
Yeah, this year is ā I don't know. And just when they start to bring you back in 6-2, then they ā they just lost yesterday. That happens. It's baseball. But they are ā it's just so frustrating when they lose them when they're up late. Like the bullpen is killing them right now.
It is killing them, and their offense is still scattershot. And the problem is, you know, they couldn't have a hotter player right now than Jack Haglione. And what does it add it up to? Nothing. Nothing.
Well, I mean, they're 7-4 in their last 11. Which, I mean, I know, I'm not asking everyone to do a cartwheel over it, but when it starts to look like they're going to get some traction, it just, whoop. Yeah, and if they sweep the Astros, I mean, that's pretty much what it would take for you to be like, okay, they still have momentum.
