00:00right now it's time for our official world cup preview we have many many things to start with
00:10would you like water bottles school good players economic impact or uh rating the kits um water
00:22bottles all right fifa has done a u-turn declaring now that water bottles will be allowed at world
00:32cup stadiums this summer except for mexico as of last night i have not seen if there's an update this
00:40morning but for some reason of which i didn't totally get the answer mexico was not cleared for
00:47this policy as well yet i know the athletics said they were following up with fifa to get an answer
00:53to that question so you can take water bottles in correct in mexico empty in mexico you cannot though
01:01right as of now wow okay so that could change so i can take a water bottle into dallas stadium
01:08now
01:08as long as it's empty and then you fill it up in the bathroom or whatever okay so you just
01:15save money
01:15right how much how many quarter slots do you think jerry installed on the water fountains
01:20or the bathrooms man like hey guys we're gonna make sure we get our cash it's interesting that
01:26you say that don't worry we don't want them using any of our sweet sweet water believe it or not
01:31not as much of that money is gonna go to them as you would think well i'm like in the
01:38midst of telling
01:39you my point jerry if you'll just hold on a second dude so whenever you sign a contract with fifa
01:46to be one of the host cities you have to it's kind of super bowl-esque where you have to
01:52give
01:52all of these things over to them from facility usage to all these different services and everything and
02:00then the city itself spends about a hundred million dollars to accommodate the world cup now that's
02:08especially tough if you're arlington knowing you have to spend a hundred million dollars for the
02:12matches to be played at dallas stadium so that is unfortunate now the other thing that's really
02:19interesting about this is fifa won't let you sign deals with companies in an industry where fifa
02:27already has its own sponsor like mcdonald's and coca-cola so there are food chains drinks sportswear brands
02:36cars airlines a whole bunch of other stuff that you cannot sign any sort of marketing deal with
02:42because fifa already has their own marketing partner and that will not be challenged which begs
02:48the question and this is going to tie back into something that you talked about with the baseball
02:52tears just a second ago why in the world would you want to host the world cup because there are
02:58many
02:59stories about cities losing money now on the flip side i'm sure there's plenty of businesses and stuff
03:04like that then end up doing well this is an actual quote from the host committee ceo of kansas city
03:12quote there is a united collective belief that this could be transformational for the way people think
03:19about kansas city so they're saying we think being a host of a world cup or one of the host
03:26cities
03:26can like maybe make us more of a destination or just change the way people think or perhaps don't
03:33think about kansas city okay i'm going to compare this to a tv show i'm watching widow's bay and anybody
03:43out there that's checked out widow's bay so far let us know it's a very good show but the concept
03:50is
03:50the mayor of the island wants to be the next martha's vineyard you know he wants people coming
03:58to this island because it's an adorable little island it's boutiquey it's got all these little
04:03fun things even though the highlands haunted oh it is everybody on the island's like why would you
04:09invite people here they're all gonna die um and so like this is the concept behind it is
04:16behind his mindset though is it once they get here like we're gonna turn this island into something
04:23you've never even seen before so like that's the the concept i see where they're saying for a place
04:28like kansas city dallas and arlington does that do they need that i don't think they do however
04:35jerry jones loves the idea of the biggest event was played in my stadium and that's the thing when he
04:41says he would write whatever check for a championship i don't necessarily believe that i think that has
04:47been proven out but if he has to take part or eat a little bit of money for him and
04:52his stadium to be
04:53the focus that that i do think he would do now wfaa has put together kind of their own i
05:01think in
05:02cooperation with places like front office sports and forbes to put together a determination of the
05:08economic impact for specifically the metroplex okay so the thought is that the economic impact
05:14for our region will be between 1.5 and 2.1 billion dollars there should be more than a hundred
05:21thousand
05:22visitors per day in the metroplex with total visitors over 2.7 million these visitors will use
05:3142 000 airbnbs with those hosts earning approximately 24 million dollars during this world cup run and so
05:42one of the local businesses around there is going to earn 24 million dollars as a total why didn't we
05:47invest in a business so we definitely should have so the trickle down effect whether it's that or you
05:53look at the hotel industry rental cars or of course all the restaurants and bars i'm sure they're all
06:00super stoked about this i'm i'm interested too i know we have a lot of uber drivers out there
06:05oh that too is that are y'all expect if you're an uber driver out there are you expecting to
06:10cash in
06:11over the next month and i wonder if you were an uber driver who like maybe didn't live in the
06:17metroplex but lived close you come to the area yes or like just spend your time around exactly now
06:23to the actual matches themselves how many u.s players do you think are in the top 50
06:32how many players are on the team uh 20 oh no that's baseball i was about to say 26 all
06:39right so
06:39half yeah uh no half the half the 50 of them they that's too many they have zero and i
06:46think they
06:47probably have zero in the top 100 you know what kevin it's because we play as a team you know
06:52we're
06:52not into this isn't soccer is not an individual sport never has been it's always been a team sport
06:57and uh it really does take a team to go out there and and do this all right alec let
07:04me ask you a
07:05question would you rather go with the team dynamic that cory just described or would you rather be
07:13france who has two of the top three players and three of the top seven players in the world cup
07:20or spain they have two of the top six or england they have two of the top nine hand me
07:27the baguette
07:28and call me french it's uh it's a good point right there all right he comes in he's got white
07:37makeup on
07:38one of those black and white striped shirts you don't have to be a mime if you're from france i
07:43think you do okay i think they like that's the school that they start that's like elementary and
07:47then you learn it all the way up i don't know how much it would cost but could we get
07:51that glass
07:51pane taken out and then alex just like pretending that he still can't get out of the box i'm showing
07:57up friday and i'm not saying a word yes i'm gonna be face painting everything so oh my gosh i'm
08:03stuck
08:03behind this glass wall all right so teamwork aside oh that's but you're right i'm works that's
08:08exactly teamwork aside and that is important you'd you'd rather have three of the top seven
08:14absolutely dude like wouldn't you like it if christian pulisic you're like i don't know he's
08:19like our fifth best player yeah and that might be high for these that probably is like who for this
08:26team who is their best player i mean obviously for the fc dallas connection i'm gonna say ricardo peppy
08:31but i i can see how other people would say pulisic but the fact that you don't have anybody in
08:37the top
08:3750 or the top 100 you'd be glad to know that the united states coach essentially said hey we can
08:44win
08:44despite that being the case so he's all aboard strategy and teamwork yeah the teamwork yeah because
08:51if there's anything the united states is known for it's this amazing soccer strategy so just something
08:56to keep in mind whenever you hear the calci spots and cory tells you that the united states is trading
09:01at
09:011.6 or whatever that's why i did one this morning and i was like all right i'm gonna put
09:08down
09:0840 on the u.s oh not to win all right not to win so like a cleveland browns super
09:16bowl thing
09:17it would have paid out 55 cents that's how they feel about that so stick it goly moly uh from
09:25the
09:25817 i'm an uber driver from dallas in the playoffs in 23 went to houston i drove there and when
09:31they
09:31came back to arlington i came back uh then drove for the world series money was great oh yeah see
09:36and i can see obviously the pre and post matches are gonna be just for here's free 972 i drive
09:43uber
09:43overnight i expect a lot of party goers much better than fighting traffic at the matches okay so like
09:50maybe the official the official you know norway watch party is down the block at the arby's and then
09:57i don't know where they want to party and so you just go pick them up i don't know what
10:03norwegian
10:04people want to do here in america i'm not norwegian if you're from norwegia uh whatever you get here is
10:12arby's your first stop yeah what's the they've got the meat that horseradish is so great yeah you ever
10:18get confused about the horseradish whenever you're growing up you didn't know what do you mean put it
10:22on something oh no it's just white ketchup and then you're like that's not white yes and it's
10:27really hot right it's a little spicy not really hot oh okay that's just your child's palate yeah that's
10:33just what i had heard now is mexico doing the right thing they're the mexican president she announced
10:42that school in mexico city would be suspended during the nation's world cup opener on tuesday
10:52okay that seems really nice right except it's not to help out the uh excuse me tomorrow did i say
11:00they're in school right now what are they doing i you know again much like i'm not familiar with the
11:04food pallets of norwegian people i do not know enough about the mexican school system but school
11:11is out tomorrow not to help out the kids but in order to ease traffic all right so they're like
11:16hey
11:17kids you didn't stay at home didn't unt aren't like colleges don't they do that sometimes too
11:23are they doing that no no no not for this specifically but for other things we've seen
11:27that before the 817 i went to mime school recently i can't say enough about it
11:33alec do you get it
11:36because mimes don't talk
11:39yeah uh our boy latret says i'm uber uh lyft driver working events like games a concert doesn't
11:46always translate to making more money many rides take you away from the event and you never make
11:50it back over there oh and by the way somebody asked what if you put 10 million dollars down on
11:55the u.s to not win the world cup 137 500 all right i need to take out a loan
12:01to make a net profit of
12:05137 i would like to go to the bank with you when you tell them your plan for the loan
12:12like guys really this is guaranteed money and they're like they're gonna try to sell you government
12:18i was like you're getting your 10 million dollar back but i can't pay you any interest like there's
12:24you're not getting anything else i need that that really sounds like a great deal but the bank is
12:30getting right there all right so we're gonna give you an interest-free loan of 10 million
12:34money you can't guarantee i'm guaranteeing that i'm getting money off this okay the u.s is not
12:40winning the world cup uh i think you're probably awesome would it be though if it was rigged all
12:46the way up and the u.s really did get that opportunity you wouldn't think it was awesome
12:51going into the finals you'd be like son of a gun i think i would trade out you know oh
12:57you
12:57you okay all right now my values got way up i don't know exactly where i land on this but
13:04could try to do that if you wanted now if you care about you know what's sad we haven't even
13:10really gotten in like knit into the nitty-gritty of some of the matchups and stuff but i'm gonna
13:16tell you one more nonsense thing the kits the athletic ranked all of the kits for the world cup
13:23coming in dead last croatia no love for the checkerboard pattern right there canada is 47
13:32because what the hell is canada gonna do about it and then coming in at number 26 almost exactly in
13:39the middle of the pack which is pretty much where people project them in the world cup itself it is
13:45the united states of america if you want to know the top five morocco germany is for england which
13:55definitely won't make it past the semi-final is three followed by brazil and ghana is number one
14:01and the ghanaian or ghanaan uh kit is really awesome kevin those are the home kits correct that is
14:09correct you know they just released the the away ones does it look cool for america you'll get that
14:15in the world cup segment tomorrow oh do i have to come up with names for these every day you
14:21don't
14:21have to we can just come up with one name okay two teams one cup stop it no that's we
14:30don't want
14:30there's gonna be because there's more teams that there's at least 48 teams can the one for the final
14:35what do you mean at least 48 team uh for the final could it then be two teams one cup
14:41yes you can
14:43change it for that one all right right now we need to incorporate at least 48 okay oh man i'm
14:50not have
14:50that many names so you know we'll talk i guess more about this tomorrow but you know spain is the
14:57favorite france is right up right there next to him dude and the united states much like the cowboys
15:02this year after year after year england's right behind them too they're middle of the pack that's
15:06a stupid bet don't bet on england to win the world cup england last made it past the semi-finals
15:13of like a major world event i think one time in the last 60 years and it wasn't the world
15:18cup is
15:19is that then is that the hype on england is that the cowboys tax when it comes to that soccer
15:26was in
15:27our yeah always let you down bracket yeah so england would be that team that a lot of money comes
15:32in
15:32on them so that kind of makes the market do what it does gotcha my that's where you should take
15:37advantage of calci is by letting people play up england and be like no i'm gonna keep playing
15:42against them i'm gonna keep shorting okay all right
15:45you
