00:00Real quick on FIFA, for those of you that are paying attention to what's going on with FIFA,
00:04it's, we should cancel the World Cup, shouldn't be allowed to be played on our country's soil,
00:09considering this corrupt international body known as FIFA is now making all the rules,
00:15and we're just sitting by going, thank you FIFA for bringing the soccer,
00:18thank you for bringing Europeans into our country to spend their hard-earned money here.
00:22FIFA is like the Gestapo, so obviously there's a bunch of sites around the country
00:28for the World Cup, and the championship game will be in New Jersey at MetLife Stadium.
00:32First off, MetLife Stadium is not allowed to be known as MetLife Stadium during the World Cup.
00:39They have to cover the sign, and now it's being renamed according to FIFA rules,
00:44because they can't allow the endorsement to be a part of the broadcast or the telecast and whatnot.
00:50So now it's being called the New York, New Jersey Stadium.
00:55I mean, why?
00:56And we just sit back and we go, okay, FIFA, we'll do that.
01:00Then you have an issue both here and in Boston and other markets where they're price-gouging people
01:06who take a mass transit to the game.
01:08So here in New York, there's a place called Penn Station.
01:10It's right near Madison Square Garden in Midtown.
01:13It is a 15-minute train from Penn Station to MetLife Stadium.
01:17The normal cost round trip of that is $12.90.
01:21That's how a good majority of New Yorkers get into and out of the city during our workday, okay?
01:27Park in New Jersey, get on the train.
01:29It's essentially $13 a round trip.
01:32It's a 15-minute train ride.
01:34Easy peasy, okay?
01:36During the World Cup, it's a $100 ride, okay?
01:40So that's a 8x, 8.5x increase in the price to ride the train.
01:46Number two, if you normally take that train, you are not allowed to take that train starting four hours before
01:54the kickoff of a game
01:55unless you have a World Cup ticket.
01:57So for the millions of people that commute into and out of New York City to do their jobs,
02:02they don't have to find alternative transportation because we're protecting those trains for World Cup ticket holders.
02:09And then you have what I think is the coup de grace.
02:12Number one, the average fan does not get access to the parking lots at MetLife Stadium.
02:19Yeah, they can't drive.
02:20There are no parking spots available.
02:22Even at an absurd price, you cannot park there.
02:25But the real coup de grace, FIFA is outlawing tailgating.
02:33Meaning you cannot go to the game three hours early, set up your little hibachi grill.
02:39It's what I do.
02:40Bring a couple cases of beer and some snacks and appetizers and all the stuff we love to do.
02:45Right.
02:46And maybe kick a ball around with your buddies.
02:48Mm-hmm.
02:48They are going to police it.
02:50And tailgating is now banned from all stadiums coast to coast by FIFA.
02:57So they're going to force you to go inside, hypothetically, and spend more money there.
03:01Yes.
03:01Because they get a huge percentage of the consent.
03:03So you and I and our friends go to the game.
03:05We score tickets.
03:06They're very expensive.
03:07And hard to get.
03:08The tickets you buy, there's a ruse on that, too, are not where you think they are.
03:13No.
03:14They're randomly changing sections of your tickets, which I don't know how that's legal, right?
03:18And then when you get there, and you're like, let's beat the traffic, Tyrone.
03:23Tell your wife, tell my wife, we're going to go two hours early.
03:26We're going to have a nice little grill set up.
03:28We'll have some drinks.
03:29We'll have a nice afternoon.
03:30It's in the middle of July.
03:31Right.
03:31Not allowed to do it.
03:32And if you're caught doing it, you will be shut down and evicted from the premises.
03:38Why are we allowing this?
03:40Why are we allowing FIFA to come into our town, our country, and our state?
03:45I live in New Jersey.
03:46I work in New York, of course, most days of the week.
03:49And we're just saying, yes, sir, no, sir, thank you, sir?
03:52It's so true.
03:53I want a hot dog on the grill.
03:54Of course you do.
03:55In a parking lot before a sporting event.
03:57Fourth of July, yep.
03:58Yeah.
03:58And they're not allowing us to do it.
04:00It's ridiculous.
04:01And the price gouging gets worse.
04:02They have not sold out everywhere.
04:04Now, MetLife, they have sold out the tickets.
04:06The demand was very high.
04:07But we know they're in a lot of cities.
04:09Yeah.
04:09They have not sold out everywhere.
04:11The prices haven't come down.
04:12They're now artificially price gouging people on seats that aren't even sold out.
04:17Right.
04:18In other words, FIFA sucks.
04:19Yeah.
04:19And then you have to say, like, New Jersey, I think it's the same for all the other states
04:23that are hosting the World Cup.
04:25You've got our Fregazy Governor, Mikey Scherrer, coming out saying,
04:28we're doing a special tax for the World Cup because we know we have a lot of foreigners
04:34coming into our city and our state, New Jersey, and everything you buy while the World Cup is
04:40happening is going to be 10 times more expensive from a tax standpoint.
04:44It's like, why even have the event?
04:46It's like, you know, it's the same for all the other states that aren't going to be the same for
04:46all the other states that aren't going to be the same for all the other states that aren't going to
04:46be the same for all the states that aren't going to be the same for all the states that aren't
04:46going to be the same for all the states that aren't going to be the same for all the states
04:46that aren't going to be the same for all the states that aren't going to be the same for all
04:46the states that aren't going to be the same for all the states that aren't going to be the same
04:46for all the states that aren't going to be the same for all the states that aren't going to be
04:46the same for all the states that aren't going to be the same for all the states that aren't going
04:46to be the same for all the states that aren't going to be the same for all the states that
04:46aren't going to be the same for all the states that aren't going to be the same for all the
