Transcript

00:00:01What is happening, guys? Welcome in. Friday, Wake Up Barstool. It's time to set the tone for the weekend, and

00:00:08it's time for some U.S. footy. That's right, U.S. men's national team getting underway today against Paraguay.

00:00:14USA! USA! USA! USA! We also have the Bears stopping by, giving you some gambling advice for this World Cup.

00:00:22We got Megan's Money Corner coming up. We got Chief with us all throughout the World Cup. And look at

00:00:27that, dude. John Calpart is going to stop by the show as well. What a day here on Wake Up

00:00:32Barstool, and it all starts now.

00:00:58Let's go! T-Bob Aber, Michael Koedick, Dana Beers, we got Chief, we got Megan Making Money here in the

00:01:05studio.

00:01:05So, and once again, guys, at the start of today's show, I think it's important. I've been trying in my

00:01:12life as I get older, you know, and, you know, experience more time.

00:01:16You got a time, it speeds up, right? We're just hurtling towards death. So I'm trying to be present. I'm

00:01:22trying to be present, Dana. That's the point here.

00:01:24We're hurtling towards death. Exactly. We're accelerating towards it. Good morning. Good morning.

00:01:30I'm trying to be present. I'm trying to give thanks and be gracious when we get good things and feel

00:01:37and bask in that gratitude.

00:01:39And look at the sports right now, guys. We got Stanley Cup Final that kicks ass and is a back

00:01:44and forth torrid affair.

00:01:46Last night, Hurricanes getting it done. They're now up three games or two. We'll get into that.

00:01:50We got the NBA Finals featuring one of the most legendary franchises on the planet.

00:01:54Looking to break a 50-year championship drought going against the alien, the prince that was promised.

00:02:00We got Omaha College Baseball opening up today to decide national champion with a bunch of teams that have never

00:02:05been there before.

00:02:06They might struggle to break in today. And then we have the World Cup, guys. Gets underway yesterday.

00:02:12It's in North America. And the home team, the U.S., plays today in a massive opening match against Paraguay.

00:02:20So, again, guys, here on June, we give thanks. How are we feeling, boys?

00:02:26Feeling so patriotic today.

00:02:28Yeah.

00:02:28Dan and I are heading to D.C. We're going to be in the capital of the United States watching

00:02:34the USA.

00:02:35It's going to be awesome.

00:02:36A few beers.

00:02:38A few beer.

00:02:39A few snacks.

00:02:40One, ten, ten, twenty-five beer.

00:02:41What better way to honor America than drink as many beers as your body can physically handle getting ready for

00:02:48this footy match tonight?

00:02:49T-Bub, I just want to say on this morning sports show, sports are the best, man.

00:02:53Yep.

00:02:54I agree.

00:02:54So many sports.

00:02:55So many sports.

00:02:56I love sports.

00:02:57I am sad that basketball is coming to an end soon, and hockey is as well.

00:03:01But it's okay, because we got footy.

00:03:03Well, it's cool, too, because, like, specifically this weekend, whatever your favorite flavor is, there's something for you at the

00:03:11sports bar.

00:03:12That's right.

00:03:12Like, everybody's getting served this weekend.

00:03:15Chief, what's up, man?

00:03:16How was your, as a resident in-house footy lover, one of, how was your opening day World Cup experience?

00:03:22I loved it.

00:03:23I thought the atmosphere in Mexico seemed great.

00:03:26The game last night.

00:03:27I don't know how you do this, T-Bub.

00:03:28I had to stay.

00:03:29I was up until, like, 11.30 last night.

00:03:31Up early.

00:03:32I'm exhausted.

00:03:33I'm going to be honest.

00:03:34I fell asleep.

00:03:35Okay.

00:03:36That makes me feel better.

00:03:37That's how I did it.

00:03:37I fell asleep and then caught up on the game this morning.

00:03:40I mean, yeah, I record a lot of things on, you know, whatever, like my TV and then watch it.

00:03:46But, yeah, fantastic game last night.

00:03:49I'm kind of bummed that I fell asleep.

00:03:50Yeah, awesome game last night.

00:03:50Incredible game.

00:03:51Awesome game last night.

00:03:52Korea gets the win.

00:03:53So I feel like now we're, like, we're up and running.

00:03:56We're in it.

00:03:57Now we get USA Today.

00:03:58To me, that's when the tournament really starts.

00:04:00So, and then it's just basically every day, multiple games a day for six weeks.

00:04:05It's going to be great.

00:04:06Jadick, have you ever heard of DVR?

00:04:08Like the, you stick the thing in?

00:04:10What?

00:04:11That's a DVD.

00:04:12What?

00:04:13That's called a DVD.

00:04:15DVR, is that you can rewind and stuff?

00:04:17Or a DVR come and go so fast is a concept.

00:04:21No, no, no.

00:04:21I know DVR.

00:04:22I was thinking DVR is like you rewind, you put the thing.

00:04:26Do you even TiVo?

00:04:28Do you know what TiVo is?

00:04:29Yeah, dude, of course.

00:04:30He doesn't know what TiVo is, dude.

00:04:31You're so young.

00:04:32Wow, unbelievable.

00:04:33You're so young and naive.

00:04:34Hey, what's up?

00:04:34Our wonderful princess of the Fridays, how are we feeling today?

00:04:39I'm feeling great.

00:04:40I also stayed up late to finish those games.

00:04:43My son is a humongous soccer guy.

00:04:45Hell yeah.

00:04:45We stayed up late watching it.

00:04:47That Mexico game was really entertaining.

00:04:49Got a little chippy.

00:04:50Lots of cards being thrown around.

00:04:53So really enjoyed that.

00:04:54Hit my first soccer bet yesterday.

00:04:56A little parlay, like plus 178.

00:04:59Take it.

00:04:59Why did I go with you?

00:05:01Instead, I'm riding with Chief, and Mexico doesn't want to play aggressive enough to get enough

00:05:04shots on net, even though they're sitting there up two men.

00:05:06I gave you a bet for the price of a stamp that's going to pay a quarter million dollars.

00:05:10That's true.

00:05:11That's true.

00:05:12We have a 32-cent bet to win 250K.

00:05:14Yeah.

00:05:14It's totally going to hit.

00:05:15So when me and Chief are super rich, guys, I'm going to buy everybody a ton of beers.

00:05:20Don't forget about us, boys.

00:05:21It's going to be great.

00:05:22It's going to be great.

00:05:23I'll hold you to that.

00:05:24And look, and there's regular season baseball.

00:05:27Yeah.

00:05:27Like, I imagine when we go to the Money Corner later in the show, we're going to be putting

00:05:32together a baseball parlay.

00:05:33So again, guys, a ton to get to.

00:05:35But let's start on the ice.

00:05:37Last night, you know, the always critical Game 5 series tied two-piece, incredible twists

00:05:45and turns, record-setting performances, seemingly night in and night out.

00:05:49And although the script kind of changed in this one, where I thought it was such a good

00:05:55omen for the Knights when Eichel and Dorfeev team up for that goal, because both of them

00:06:00have really been struggling.

00:06:01Like, oh my God, okay, if they come alive, like, Vegas is going to be fine.

00:06:04And yet, instead of Vegas in the second period, Chief, the Canes absolutely took over in that

00:06:09second frame.

00:06:10That building is rocking when the Canes are good.

00:06:12The Caniacs were out in full force.

00:06:14Erling Haaland, superstar from Norway in Manchester City, was there.

00:06:18It seemed like he was having a great time.

00:06:20But yeah, the Canes at home, they just play that suffocating style.

00:06:23They've been so close over the years.

00:06:25And you mentioned Eichel and Dorfeev.

00:06:27Sveshnikov showed up.

00:06:29So he had not really been the superstar.

00:06:32He came through big last night for them.

00:06:34Two big goals.

00:06:36He was really the difference.

00:06:37And then Jordan Stahl.

00:06:39I don't know how old he is.

00:06:4137, bro.

00:06:4237.

00:06:42Let's go, our age.

00:06:43I remember when he was with the Penguins back in 07.

00:06:46He was my favorite player.

00:06:47Yeah.

00:06:47And then he's been in Carolina forever.

00:06:49He teamed up with his brother.

00:06:50His brother's long retired now.

00:06:52And he's holding on.

00:06:53It feels like it would be such a fitting end to start his career with the Penguins, with

00:06:58the cup, and then put the last little bookend on there with Carolina.

00:07:01So it's a great story.

00:07:03They're going back to Vegas.

00:07:04Did you guys see the quote from Tortorella, the coach of Vegas?

00:07:07No, what he said.

00:07:08Like, I'm leaving my luggage here.

00:07:09I'm leaving the suits here.

00:07:10We're coming right back here.

00:07:11Oh, okay.

00:07:11So he's, like, predicting, being bold.

00:07:13He's a great coach, great quoter.

00:07:17So that game six is going to be great in Vegas over the weekend.

00:07:21I think that's Sunday night.

00:07:22And, yeah, it's been an awesome, awesome series.

00:07:25Yeah.

00:07:26I mean, how about Stahl, though?

00:07:28Oh, yes.

00:07:29I was going to ask, Chief, as kind of the hockey guy in the room right now, did you expect

00:07:35this series to be what it is right now?

00:07:37I mean, you can't expect a series that's this wild with, like, teams blowing leads left

00:07:43and right, the overtimes.

00:07:45I thought it would be a tight series, but this has been wildly entertaining.

00:07:49Typically, I hate watching Carolina play.

00:07:51They play this kind of man-to-man defense.

00:07:53It gets so, like, kind of bogged down, and they just wear people down.

00:07:56And I'm worried that that's happening to Vegas, because it did kind of seem...

00:08:00Last night was the most regular game that we've had yet.

00:08:04And I wonder if they're starting to wear them down a little bit with their D-zone and their

00:08:09four-check.

00:08:10But, yeah, it's been great.

00:08:11I thought it would be a six- or seven-game series, but how do you predict something like

00:08:16this?

00:08:16This has been an all-time Stanley Cup final.

00:08:18I feel like people aren't paying attention, because it's Carolina and it's Vegas.

00:08:22And there's, like you said, so many other sports going on.

00:08:25The Knicks are in the finals.

00:08:26Yeah, Knicks are taking up a lot of the oxygen in the room, for sure.

00:08:29But it's been...

00:08:30If you're, like, a real hockey fan, like, this has been must-watch TV.

00:08:33It's in...

00:08:34You know, you mentioned Stahl and kind of his career arc.

00:08:37Yeah, his last Stanley Cup final goal is coming when he was 20 years old, 17 years ago.

00:08:44A goal.

00:08:45A goal.

00:08:45He now has six goals in five games.

00:08:48He's scored in every game.

00:08:49It's...

00:08:49The consistency is...

00:08:51And he's a cat.

00:08:52Like, it's just...

00:08:53Yeah.

00:08:53My question to you, from...

00:08:55Because, like, I watch these games, and I can understand the storylines.

00:08:58I can understand the general feel.

00:09:00But what I cannot understand from, like, a schematic standpoint is how all of a sudden

00:09:06the Hurricane special teams have just completely taken over this series.

00:09:10Because it was hapless for a lot of playoffs and hapless for a lot of this series.

00:09:13And then ever since...

00:09:14I think it was when Vegas had that 2-0 lead.

00:09:17They kind of had their first power play breakthrough, and since then, Vegas looks completely discombobulated

00:09:23when they're trying to shut down Carolina's power play.

00:09:26Well, T-Bob, your guess is as good as mine.

00:09:27Yeah.

00:09:27Because it's not like they've made any real changes, personnel, or anything like anything else.

00:09:32Sometimes it just clicks.

00:09:34Yeah.

00:09:34And, you know, Goss is out there, and they do have...

00:09:37They do have a ton of talent.

00:09:38They got guys that can rifle the puck.

00:09:40We saw Svetlakov last night.

00:09:42Also, Vegas gave them a ton of chances, and you felt like Vegas might start to be crawling

00:09:47back into that game, and then they get the double minor, and then it was like, you know,

00:09:51that kind of sucked all the momentum out when you give up a four-minute power play.

00:09:55So it was...

00:09:56It was...

00:09:57You just can't take...

00:09:58You can't spend that much time in the box.

00:10:00I had the split screen going between Korea and Czech Republic.

00:10:05Hell yeah.

00:10:05And the Vegas-Carolina game, and it just felt like every time I looked over, I'm like,

00:10:11oh, Carolina's on another power play.

00:10:12So you just...

00:10:13That's got to be an adjustment for game six.

00:10:15Like, you have to be more disciplined.

00:10:16You can't keep taking these penalties.

00:10:18And Vegas has got to...

00:10:19It's been a little bit of puck luck going against them, too, where it's like they have these

00:10:23like seemingly golden chances.

00:10:25They're just like a centimeter away from either being on the guy's stick.

00:10:29Game four, we saw Eichel rifle one off the crossbar, missed the crossbar by that much

00:10:34later in the game.

00:10:35So it's like they're right around it, but they're just missing.

00:10:40So I don't know what the secret sauce is for Carolina's power play.

00:10:43Maybe it's just reps, and Vegas got to stay out of the bar.

00:10:46Yeah, they're getting a lot of opportunities, and kind of my final note in the game would

00:10:49just be talking about Brandon Bussey.

00:10:51And it's not like we're seeing like...

00:10:52Bussey.

00:10:53I knew that was coming.

00:10:54Brandon Bussey.

00:10:55I knew that was coming.

00:10:56Of course.

00:10:57You know, it's interesting because all of my...

00:10:59The first thing I've said.

00:11:00All of my hockey...

00:11:01We got Calipari coming up soon.

00:11:04All of my hockey references just kind of go back to my childhood, right?

00:11:07And he's not putting together like Patrick Waugh or like Martin Brodeur, like 30-plus save

00:11:13performances.

00:11:13But to be a first-year player, I know that technically word, first-year player in this

00:11:20situation, on this stage, and to look so composed.

00:11:23Like he doesn't look overwhelmed.

00:11:25He looks like he's in complete control.

00:11:26Well, the 6'4 lefty, Bussey, very impressed with him, and now just one game away from

00:11:31closing out a Stanley Cup final, dude.

00:11:34Yeah, and look, he gets a lot of help.

00:11:35Carolina defensively, they're so good.

00:11:38Jacob Slavin, probably the best defensive defenseman in the league.

00:11:41Condren Miller, also very good defensively.

00:11:43They really buy into Brindamore's system as a whole unit.

00:11:48You know, 21 shots against, 25 shots against.

00:11:51Not like insane.

00:11:52But like, it's the old hockey cliche, like you got to make the stops you're supposed

00:11:56to.

00:11:57He's doing his job.

00:11:58He's doing that.

00:11:59So he might just lead them right to the promised land.

00:12:02Absolutely insane.

00:12:03So again, that'll be potentially decided this weekend.

00:12:07Coming up tomorrow night, you could have the NBA finals potentially decided.

00:12:12All right, Dana, here we go.

00:12:14We haven't got to talk to you since the hand of God, OG Ananobi.

00:12:17Very appropriate that Maradona honored on the day when the World Cup started with the most

00:12:22insane one-handed tip that we've seen since Maradona.

00:12:26Maybe a championship winning tip.

00:12:27What was your reaction to that Game 4 comeback?

00:12:31I mean, honestly, it's truly one of the greatest games I've ever watched.

00:12:36And it's unfortunate because as a Celtics fan, you don't want to see the Knicks in this

00:12:41position, but you got to give them credit.

00:12:43That was truly the greatest comeback I've ever witnessed.

00:12:47And I've seen 28-3.

00:12:48I will give 28-3 to Nod because I think it's harder in football.

00:12:53From a basketball perspective, that's obviously the greatest comeback of all time.

00:12:58But listen, the thing with the Knicks is all four of these, all five of these games, it

00:13:05feels like, or four of these games, it feels like the Spurs have had the chance to put them

00:13:10away.

00:13:10Yeah.

00:13:11And they just haven't done it.

00:13:13And you can see that that's the youth and inexperience against the more experienced team.

00:13:18And you saw it in Game 4.

00:13:20It's just, they were up 29 points.

00:13:23That's insane.

00:13:23I mean, 20 points with eight minutes to go.

00:13:26Even yet, they did a great job of cutting to 15, going into the fourth, and you're kind

00:13:29of like, okay.

00:13:30You kind of had the feeling.

00:13:31But then you're middling through the first quarter of that fourth quarter, and all of a

00:13:34sudden, the Spurs are back up 20.

00:13:37But that's the thing.

00:13:37The rhythm was against the Knicks.

00:13:39They were dead.

00:13:40That's the thing with the NBA.

00:13:41If you watch any regular season NBA, you will see 20, 25-point comebacks all the time.

00:13:47Because teams get up early, and they get a little comfortable.

00:13:50Maybe the second quarter, they're up 25 points.

00:13:53You'll see these comebacks pretty consistently in the regular season.

00:13:57But for it to happen in the NBA Finals is unheard of.

00:14:01I know the Celtics did it back in, I don't know, 2000.

00:14:04Yeah, look at that.

00:14:05They didn't just come back.

00:14:06They came back with, like, the NBA completely gifting Wimby, like, every single thing possible.

00:14:11Yeah.

00:14:12I mean...

00:14:12Like, they were trying to stretch that game out.

00:14:15They didn't...

00:14:16That call, whenever he pushed Brunson, like, that should have been a flagrant.

00:14:20Like, that's insane.

00:14:21Yeah, they even reviewed and said it wasn't.

00:14:22I kind of like...

00:14:23Yes, yes, Michael.

00:14:25Basketball question.

00:14:26Yes.

00:14:26Was that De'Aaron Fox who had the breakaway with 13 seconds left?

00:14:29Yeah.

00:14:30Yep.

00:14:30So, I mean, usually you're supposed to just hold that thing, right?

00:14:33Yeah, I mean, I can...

00:14:34Bounce it out and...

00:14:35I can see it in the moment being such, like, a fast play, and his momentum's going towards

00:14:40out of bounds.

00:14:40So, I can see him maybe trying to draw a foul real quick, but the smart thing...

00:14:45He said he thought he was just faster.

00:14:47Okay, yeah.

00:14:47He said he thought he was just faster.

00:14:48He said he normally is.

00:14:49Yeah.

00:14:50Yeah, but I'm not...

00:14:50It's easy for us sitting on...

00:14:52So, is that not a backcourt?

00:14:53Yeah.

00:14:54No, it's not a backcourt because the entire body and ball has to come across.

00:14:58That was actually good situational awareness by Alvarado there.

00:15:00Sorry.

00:15:01It's easy for us sitting here in our seats on a Friday morning to be like, oh, I would

00:15:05have dribbled that ball out, but it's...

00:15:08The game is fast.

00:15:09You know, he thought he was making the right play.

00:15:11It wasn't, but it happens, and it's unfortunate for the Spurs.

00:15:14I think...

00:15:15I mean, I would have liked to see the Spurs win this series somehow.

00:15:20I hope they come back, but it's just the situational...

00:15:24It's an experience that, you know, you're playing with 22-year-old kids, and that's

00:15:28your leader there.

00:15:29He's your point guard.

00:15:30He's supposed to make the right play, and he didn't.

00:15:31And he is your vet, really, on that team.

00:15:33Yeah, he is your vet.

00:15:35And to me, though, it's like, I hate focusing on the De'Aaron Fox factor there because,

00:15:39to me, that's about OG Ananobi and the chase-down block.

00:15:42Yeah.

00:15:42Because, again, like we said, everybody talks about the tip, and why not, of course.

00:15:45But, like, the fact that those two plays happened in a single sequence may be the greatest

00:15:51championship sequence that we've ever seen when you look at the stakes and everything

00:15:55that was on the line.

00:15:56And, like, those are the type of plays that you look back on that win championships.

00:15:59But the Knicks have to finish.

00:16:01Do we think...

00:16:02Yes, Matt?

00:16:02I was going to say, let's not forget that, like, missed layup was going to be a dunk by

00:16:06heart.

00:16:07Like, that would have put them up those two points that they need, or the point that they

00:16:10needed.

00:16:10And so, it was like, again, I am not an NBA girl, but this series has been so incredibly

00:16:15entertaining to watch for me personally.

00:16:18Like, that game probably has now, like, catapulted me into watching the NBA.

00:16:24Well, and what I loved about the Josh Hart, I loved the Josh Hart, I'd say, after the game,

00:16:28we didn't get into it on the show yesterday, though, I wanted to, but he straight up was

00:16:32thanking OG for basically saving him a lifetime of infamy.

00:16:36Yeah.

00:16:36Because, like, when he comes up with that steal, it's in perfect momentum with the

00:16:41comeback.

00:16:41It's finally going to give them the lead, and then he absolutely blows it.

00:16:45Like, if they go on to lose that game, I don't know if he's exactly Bill Buckner's status,

00:16:50but, like, he's not far off.

00:16:51He had a tough stretch, not only that missed layup.

00:16:54Yeah.

00:16:54He had a bad foul.

00:16:56He didn't box out on a Stephon Castle rebound, but you're right.

00:17:01If it didn't go their way, he's probably the GOAT.

00:17:05And he acknowledged it.

00:17:07Like, he, after the game, which I thought was pretty cool.

00:17:09Dana, do you think the Spurs come back here?

00:17:11I think the Spurs actually get game five.

00:17:13I think they get game five, and luckily for all the New York fans, they can win in New

00:17:19York City and go beat up more people on the streets in New York City.

00:17:21I want them to win game five.

00:17:23I want the Knicks to win because Che and Memes and Zach are going to be there.

00:17:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:17:27Like, that's a murderer's row of, like, people at our company.

00:17:30I need to see those three together, like, watching the trophy being hoisted.

00:17:35Seeing our best boy memes crying when he got gifted the tickets was very nice.

00:17:42And let's not forget OG Ananobi Hoosier.

00:17:45There you go.

00:17:45Let's not forget.

00:17:47I did forget that.

00:17:48From the caveman in the glasses.

00:17:51The guy that went to Purdue couldn't have made that play.

00:17:52Coming up next, we're going to talk footy, baby.

00:17:56USA, Paraguay today.

00:17:57And look, we've got our best soccer guy, Michael Kadik, on the case here to break down what

00:18:01you can expect on the pitch today.

00:18:03Let's go.

00:18:04More Wake Up Barstool on the other side.

00:18:06USA!

00:18:08USA!

00:18:09USA!

00:18:10USA!

00:18:11USA!

00:18:12USA!

00:18:17The biggest World Cup ever is here!

00:18:20The U.S.

00:18:21Men's National Team kicks off their World Cup dreams tonight in Los Angeles.

00:18:26Pregame at 6 Eastern with the match getting underway at 9.

00:18:30And you already know, it's only on Fox.

00:18:33All right, boys.

00:18:34Here we are.

00:18:35It's time!

00:18:37It's time!

00:18:38A massive, massive game for the U.S.

00:18:41Men's National Team.

00:18:42The oft-labeled golden generation.

00:18:46Everything on the line tonight.

00:18:48The stakes, the storylines, the country itself.

00:18:51We have a tweet that they're in my ear about.

00:18:54Look at that.

00:18:55Imagine all the international footy fans in America for the World Cup turn to TV in their

00:18:58hotel slash Airbnb.

00:19:00And FS1 is on.

00:19:01And you get this hype crew as your morning hello.

00:19:05That's true.

00:19:05We should.

00:19:06Welcome to all of our wonderful international travelers.

00:19:10We have thoroughly enjoyed watching your journeys to America from afar.

00:19:17I agree.

00:19:17You see that Freddy guy?

00:19:19I was watching his.

00:19:21I mean, he's all the way by everything.

00:19:23Tiago, Freddy, Thora.

00:19:24Yeah.

00:19:25It's overwhelming positivity.

00:19:27In fact, as we celebrate, you know, 250 years of this country right now, and a lot of times,

00:19:36you know, nowadays, we're always at each other's throats.

00:19:38You can be very cynical.

00:19:39Like, in a weird way, viewing this country through the lens of these international travelers

00:19:46has made me more proud and more patriotic than almost anything else in my life lately.

00:19:51It's like, wait, is America sweet?

00:19:53Yeah.

00:19:53Wait, no, we are good.

00:19:54Yeah, we're good.

00:19:56America's sick, dude.

00:19:57And he's just on the, and Freddy, I've just been watching him, he's just on the East Coast,

00:20:01kind of.

00:20:02Yeah, well, I mean.

00:20:02I'm like, you haven't even gotten to the Midwest.

00:20:04You haven't gotten to the West Coast.

00:20:05Who is the guy that's going through the South, I believe?

00:20:08Yeah, that's the guy where he did, like, the inner tube on the Chattanooga River.

00:20:11Yeah, he was on the Chattahoochee, bro.

00:20:14I grew up on the Chattahoochee.

00:20:15It's crazy.

00:20:16That's just a hilarious, like, visual.

00:20:19Just anyone not from America being on the Chattahoochee.

00:20:22They're out there eating Waffle House, dude.

00:20:24They're going, I mean.

00:20:25Buckees, they're going.

00:20:26They saw a soccer game at Jordan-Hare.

00:20:27There's nothing better than floating down a river with a 12-pack.

00:20:31Oh, it's the absolute best, dude.

00:20:31Yeah, that's facts.

00:20:33It's the absolute best.

00:20:34All right, so, welcome to America, guys.

00:20:36And we are sweet.

00:20:38Love you, guys.

00:20:39But are we sweet on the pitch?

00:20:41No, we're coming at your throats on the pitch.

00:20:43That's a bigger question.

00:20:45And I want to be clear about this.

00:20:47First, when it comes to cheering, I am, you know, fully giving myself over.

00:20:53I'm going to be a rational belief.

00:20:54I'm going to be balls to the wall.

00:20:55When it comes to analysis, though, Chief, I'm getting pretty concerned about this Paraguay game.

00:21:01About Paraguay?

00:21:02Yes.

00:21:02Okay.

00:21:03Yes.

00:21:03Now, tell me why you should not be.

00:21:05Because I'm just reading about the team, and I'm reading about La Garagrani and what it means to the country.

00:21:11And, you know, they haven't been here in 16 years.

00:21:13Last time they hear they go to the quarterfinal, they're finally back.

00:21:16Ever since their new coach arrived, only one defeat in 12 games.

00:21:20Yeah.

00:21:20And that's what stood out of me.

00:21:21One defeat in 12 games, and along the way, beating Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil.

00:21:26And yet, I'm supposed to believe that, like, we're the better team here.

00:21:31I think we got them.

00:21:32Okay.

00:21:32I think we got them.

00:21:34I think we got them.

00:21:35This is one of those things where it's like, I have – I'm forgetting the analysis.

00:21:40I was so worried about this team and this golden generation that felt like it was really falling flat.

00:21:46And then the two exhibition games against Jeremy and Senegal, I'm like, oh, like, we can actually –

00:21:50They were kind of sweet looking there.

00:21:51Yeah.

00:21:51That's true.

00:21:52So it's like, all right, maybe Pochettino, who's by far the best, most accomplished manager the United States has ever

00:21:58had.

00:21:58It feels like we don't have, like, the perfect players for this.

00:22:03So we're playing a system with a back three that's not ideal.

00:22:08But they're kind of making it work.

00:22:10And, like, the wingbacks are flying up.

00:22:12And it's just like, Pulisic's got a goal.

00:22:14I feel like we're going to have enough to get a W tonight.

00:22:17Dana, would you and Mikey like to share with the class?

00:22:20I was just laughing at Canada versus B.

00:22:23Can versus B.

00:22:25Can versus B.

00:22:26Can versus Cade's cousin on B.

00:22:28Yeah.

00:22:29Yeah.

00:22:29Oh, my God.

00:22:30That's all – that's the only soccer intel I got for you right now.

00:22:34Canada versus B.

00:22:36So you mentioned Pochettino.

00:22:37I was going to ask you, like – so this is his World Cup debut.

00:22:40This is a man whose man is Chelsea, PSG.

00:22:44Like –

00:22:44He's played in World Cups for Argentina.

00:22:47Yeah.

00:22:47Is this – like, does he have legacy on the line here?

00:22:50Like, how much do you think this means for his career?

00:22:52Or since we had to lure him here with so much money, is this kind of like an –

00:22:56I mean, he's already going to be gone.

00:22:57He's going to AC Milan, it sounds like, most likely.

00:22:59But this is one of those things where if he takes America on a run in a World Cup that's

00:23:05here,

00:23:05his name will be remembered forever.

00:23:08Yeah, that's a good point.

00:23:09So I don't know if it's – I think it's a legacy domestically.

00:23:11I think internationally he's more than fine.

00:23:15Yeah.

00:23:15So –

00:23:15So I have a question.

00:23:16Yeah.

00:23:17So what is his, like – what's his nationality?

00:23:22Argentinian.

00:23:22He's Argentinian.

00:23:23So how –

00:23:23Actually, a couple Argentinian coaches going toe-to-toe tonight.

00:23:26So coaches don't need to have –

00:23:28No.

00:23:28They can just buy them?

00:23:30They can just –

00:23:30Yeah.

00:23:31Come on over.

00:23:32Aaron Klinsman back in the day.

00:23:34Aaron Klinsman was Germany.

00:23:36Ancelotti, who's the head coach for Brazil, not Brazilian.

00:23:40So it's, like, a very common thing in soccer to have – you just get a coach.

00:23:44But players have to have some sort of –

00:23:47Mikey, I did just get an interesting stat from the control room, though.

00:23:51No coach has ever won coaching a country that's not the country of origin.

00:23:56Correct.

00:23:57So they've had success, but no one's ever managed to get all the way across the finish line.

00:24:02Interesting.

00:24:03That'd be actually interesting to look at all the favorites and whether or not –

00:24:06like, I know Duchamp, obviously.

00:24:08Yeah.

00:24:08He's –

00:24:08Okay, but –

00:24:10So like you said, in the friendlies here in the run-up, the form is pretty good.

00:24:14When we talk about styles, traditionally the U.S. is going to play great defense,

00:24:17great goalkeeping, they're going to counterattack.

00:24:19Which is interesting, that's Paraguay style.

00:24:21It's built into their culture from the ground up, representative of their kind of history even.

00:24:29And that was always what we latched onto, too.

00:24:31But now we're kind of framing ourselves as more of an offensive threat.

00:24:35Is this a bad matchup stylistically here for the U.S. to start?

00:24:40See, I think you play defensively and scrappy when you don't have the guys to go forward.

00:24:46Like, France and Argentina and Spain, like, they want to have the ball.

00:24:49They want to spray it around.

00:24:51They want to create chances because they have all the best players in the world.

00:24:57Paraguay plays this style because they don't have other options.

00:25:00And they know it.

00:25:01And they don't try to mess around.

00:25:02Like, they're very honest and straightforward about that.

00:25:05And that's what we used to do, too.

00:25:06And that's what, you know, the United States would always get in trouble.

00:25:09And they would play well and get, you know, they're in the game against Belgium.

00:25:13They're in the game against the Netherlands.

00:25:15They're competitive without really ever touching the ball because it's like, we'll just play defense.

00:25:21We'll hit them on the counterattack.

00:25:22Hope we get one.

00:25:23Maybe we get two.

00:25:24And then they would struggle against, like, these CONCACAF teams, you know, Panama, Costa Rica,

00:25:30where it's like, all right, now we're the better team and we're going to have the ball.

00:25:34But we can't break anybody down because we're not used to playing that way.

00:25:37So now that we have some, you know, guys like Weston McKinney plays for Juventus and Christian Pulisic,

00:25:42we have some genuine kind of star players playing the bigger leagues.

00:25:47Like, we do have the offensive talent to go forward.

00:25:50Jedi Robinson, who had that insane goal against Germany.

00:25:52Yeah, the screamer.

00:25:53Here it is.

00:25:53Yeah, great look at it here.

00:25:56It's amazing what a single goal can do for your confidence as a fan.

00:25:59This was so nasty.

00:26:02Wow.

00:26:04Let me tell you, I played goal.

00:26:05I did not think that was going to go in off of his foot.

00:26:07I played goal in the stream we had the other night.

00:26:09That's true.

00:26:10He had, like, 80 saves.

00:26:10There's nothing scarier than that thing coming at you.

00:26:12Tell us about it, T-Bob.

00:26:13Yeah.

00:26:14Took one right off the face.

00:26:15Yeah, yeah.

00:26:16Oh, yeah.

00:26:17I can finally chew again, though.

00:26:18I tweeted.

00:26:19I tweeted.

00:26:21I'm super happy I don't have to play tonight.

00:26:23Someone's bound to get hurt.

00:26:24Within an hour, I saw your face just blow.

00:26:27Yeah, bloody nose.

00:26:28Vicky Smokes went down.

00:26:30Smokes with a faking an ankle injury.

00:26:32Okay, but no, no, hold on.

00:26:33We're not here to talk about Barcelona.

00:26:34So, this game night, I want to get, we'll get into it more a bit later on.

00:26:38We'll get into the players that you should watch and everything else.

00:26:40And we got Bear coming on, talking best bets and stuff like that.

00:26:43But yesterday, day one of the World Cup, Mexico opened it up on home soil against South Africa.

00:26:50Pedestrian 2-0 win for Mexico.

00:26:52I was just really unimpressed with the form of South Africa.

00:26:55Like, kind of both teams.

00:26:56Yeah, I mean, Mexico left a lot to be desired as well.

00:26:59Especially if you had the shots on goal bet.

00:27:01But, you know, I mean, it is what it is.

00:27:04But just, and Landon Donovan talked about it, but like, the body language from South Africa the entire time, even

00:27:11in warm-ups.

00:27:12Just a team looking discombobulated here to start this thing.

00:27:16Which is kind of surprising, because they have a ton of guys on this team who all play for the

00:27:22same team professionally in South Africa.

00:27:24So, it's like, if anybody's going to have cohesion, they play together more than anybody.

00:27:31It's different levels, obviously.

00:27:32Yeah.

00:27:33But I would have expected them to look a little bit cleaner.

00:27:35But they were awful from the jump.

00:27:38And it is, again, this kind of brings me back to the Paraguay thing, where at some point, you know,

00:27:43you could have the system.

00:27:45You could have the familiarity, but you've got to just have talent.

00:27:48South Africa doesn't have it.

00:27:50Mexico.

00:27:51Had to feel good for Jimenez to get that goal.

00:27:53Jimenez, who fractured his skull five years ago in a game.

00:27:56That's why he wears that weird little headband.

00:27:57I thought it was an eye patch.

00:28:00Why is he wearing the eye patch on the side of his head?

00:28:03I know.

00:28:03I thought he maybe fell or something.

00:28:04But he was, like, knocked unconscious on the field.

00:28:06So, great moment for him.

00:28:07This is going to be his last World Cup.

00:28:09I think he's 34, 35 years old.

00:28:12So, he gets the goal that really puts the game away.

00:28:15Along with the red cards.

00:28:16And then, once South Africa went down to 10 men.

00:28:19The goal differential is such a big thing in this tournament.

00:28:23For tiebreakers, always.

00:28:25But now, with the third place thing, that you have to give yourself a chance.

00:28:28And if they were to lose 4-0, their tournament might be over.

00:28:33So, this one should have been a penalty.

00:28:35That should have been our third goal.

00:28:38But that, when they're going down to 10 men, they're like, alright, let's just try to lose by as few

00:28:44as possible.

00:28:44And it just took all the life out of the game.

00:28:47So, the red card actually hurt us.

00:28:48And the second one almost made it worse.

00:28:50So, it was an ugly game.

00:28:53Mexico got their big win.

00:28:56They've been in eight opening games for the World Cup.

00:28:59They've never won one.

00:29:00So, that was a weird stat to break yesterday.

00:29:04But good for Mexico as the host nation.

00:29:07Getting a big win in an ugly game.

00:29:09And now, the way it works is that it kind of feels like if you get a win in this

00:29:13group stage,

00:29:14you're probably going to end up getting to the knockout round.

00:29:17Yes, because of the expanded tournament.

00:29:19And to that point, for the U.S. tonight, as we had to break,

00:29:22and it's a bummer that we ran out of time here because we'll get back to it.

00:29:25But, again, the Czechia-Korea match, absolutely fantastic.

00:29:28A wonderful palate cleanser after this one.

00:29:31But the U.S., with a 97% chance of advancement if they are to win today.

00:29:37That's what's on the line, guys.

00:29:38We'll get the dub.

00:29:39That's what's on the line, guys.

00:29:40You're going to watch it in the balls.

00:29:41We've got more Wake Up Barstool coming up next.

00:29:43It's time for Wub at the Club.

00:29:58What's happening, y'all?

00:29:59Welcome back to Wake Up Barstool.

00:30:00It's the weekend.

00:30:00It's Friday.

00:30:02Europeans love clubs.

00:30:03Many of y'all are going to be ahead of the club this weekend.

00:30:05We're going to tell you who's in and out from this week of sports news.

00:30:08Chief, first off, Chief's never been here before, boys.

00:30:10Are we letting him in?

00:30:11Yeah, we're letting Chief in.

00:30:13Come on.

00:30:14Come on in the club.

00:30:15Breaking, we broke the seal.

00:30:17All right, Meg, who's on the guest list today?

00:30:19All right, first up, we're going to go with Nadia Ferreira, which is Paraguay Miss Universe.

00:30:23Yes.

00:30:24Oh.

00:30:24Um, yeah, I don't even have to say what she's in.

00:30:27No part.

00:30:28No.

00:30:28What?

00:30:29She's from Paraguay.

00:30:30No, guys.

00:30:31She can come in.

00:30:32She can come in.

00:30:32She's in.

00:30:33Guys, you're going to lay yourself prostrate before our enemies just because she's a little sexy?

00:30:38It's like Helena of Troy.

00:30:39Helena of Troy.

00:30:41How about we do this?

00:30:42Give her a green card.

00:30:43How about we keep her outside until after the game and then we let her in?

00:30:48She's bad, though.

00:30:48Okay.

00:30:49Okay.

00:30:49I agree with Meg.

00:30:50I'm voting out.

00:30:51I'm voting out until the game is over.

00:30:52Bro, we got to think of the ratio here.

00:30:53What do you say?

00:30:54You're in.

00:30:55Ratio.

00:30:55Where are you at, Chief?

00:30:56She can come in.

00:30:57What about you, Dana?

00:30:59Only because if my boy Kadek has a chance with her.

00:31:03Oh, my God.

00:31:04Okay.

00:31:04I guess she's going in.

00:31:05U.S. going to lose tonight.

00:31:06Thanks to these horny boys.

00:31:08Congrats, guys.

00:31:09What are you talking about?

00:31:09I hope she's mad.

00:31:11No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:31:13I'm married.

00:31:13I'm looking out for her.

00:31:14She's married to Mark Anthony.

00:31:16You're not getting late.

00:31:17This is about hospitality.

00:31:19You'd be surprised, dude.

00:31:20You'd be surprised.

00:31:21She's probably already in the country in the club, dude.

00:31:23All right.

00:31:23Next one.

00:31:24Up next, we have Serena Williams.

00:31:26She won the first match and returned to the pro tennis

00:31:28and had to withdraw due to after 19-year-old partner getting hurt.

00:31:33Yeah.

00:31:34Let her in.

00:31:35I mean, Serena's always in the club.

00:31:36I don't care about the story.

00:31:37Legacy play.

00:31:38Yeah, I don't care about the story, but she's always in the play.

00:31:42Ratio's looking better.

00:31:43All right.

00:31:44Up next, we have UFC Freedom 250.

00:31:47Are we going to let UFC in the club?

00:31:49I think it's going to be cool.

00:31:50We're going to be in the same city.

00:31:52Yeah.

00:31:52I got invited to it for the after parties.

00:31:54I don't know, dude.

00:31:55I don't think a UFC fight on the White House lawn is a good celebration of 250 years.

00:32:02I think it's lame as hell.

00:32:04I think it demeans the august nature of the country.

00:32:07What do y'all want to do?

00:32:08Teddy Roosevelt used to box people himself in the Oval Office.

00:32:12Actually, that is something I could give you a point.

00:32:14That's a pretty bad point.

00:32:15Pretty badass.

00:32:16I'm going to say no to it, only because we don't need any fights in the club.

00:32:20We have you guys, but you guys don't need to be bouncing.

00:32:25Dana, you're the deciding vote once again.

00:32:28And T-Bob's just going to be soft.

00:32:28You sold me, Megan.

00:32:29I don't want people fighting in the club.

00:32:31That's right.

00:32:31No fighting in the club.

00:32:33Get out of here.

00:32:34Get out of here.

00:32:34I'm lame and soft.

00:32:35All right.

00:32:36What do we got next?

00:32:36Up next, we have Anton Robinson, who's a U.S. soccer player.

00:32:40Anthony.

00:32:41Oh, Anthony.

00:32:42Jedi Robinson.

00:32:43My fault.

00:32:44I said that before.

00:32:44He's in the club.

00:32:45Yeah, open it up.

00:32:47Open it up there, Mikey.

00:32:49Because after that goal, you're always in.

00:32:51Oh, he did the backflip?

00:32:52He was the one that did the game?

00:32:53Oh, yeah.

00:32:54He set the tone.

00:32:55Oh, yeah.

00:32:55Got a backflip off his face.

00:32:57Whoa.

00:32:58Whoa, how many times have you been letting him in?

00:32:59Get out of here.

00:33:00I'm trying to move him under these.

00:33:01It kind of looks like Albert Einstein.

00:33:02Okay, you like that?

00:33:03Okay, yeah, there we go.

00:33:04It kind of looks like Albert Einstein a little bit.

00:33:06All right, next up, Taylor Swift.

00:33:08Yes.

00:33:09Yeah.

00:33:09Yeah, always.

00:33:10Again.

00:33:11Yeah.

00:33:11I love to tell you.

00:33:12She's going to bring a lot of her hot friends.

00:33:13I'm too afraid to slander, Taylor.

00:33:15Yeah, I would agree.

00:33:15I don't want any of the Swifties after me, either.

00:33:17Again, shout out Mariska Hargitay.

00:33:20Or no, shout out Taylor Swift.

00:33:22Living every millennial's dream, getting to hang out with Mariska Hargitay.

00:33:25We all grew up watching SVU.

00:33:27What a moment the other night.

00:33:28Okay, who's next?

00:33:28He doesn't even know who that is.

00:33:29All right, up next.

00:33:30No idea.

00:33:31No idea.

00:33:31Sad.

00:33:32Sad.

00:33:32Hey, get an ounce of culture, Mikey.

00:33:35Chief said me neither.

00:33:36I never saw SVU.

00:33:38You know Mariska.

00:33:39How?

00:33:40I don't know who it is.

00:33:41It was on TV 24-7.

00:33:43It was on my style.

00:33:44When we were in college, any time you put on USA.

00:33:46Okay, sorry.

00:33:47Reel it in.

00:33:48Sorry.

00:33:49Up next, I'm going to go ahead and just say that he's getting in no matter what.

00:33:52I don't really care about y'all's opinion.

00:33:54We're going to go with Larry David.

00:33:55Need a funny guy.

00:33:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:33:57Larry David's coming in.

00:33:58I need to see him funny guy.

00:33:59He's going to hate it, but he'll be funny about it.

00:34:01I want to see him in the corner judging people and making faces.

00:34:06That's what I'm going to be looking for.

00:34:07But is the funnier Larry skit, him getting left outside of the club for some reason he can't get in?

00:34:15That's what he would want.

00:34:15That is what he would want.

00:34:16No, we're not letting him in.

00:34:18Where do you want to move him to?

00:34:18I want to put him down here.

00:34:20Okay.

00:34:21Little Larry.

00:34:22Tiny Larry.

00:34:22Little Larry.

00:34:23Little Larry.

00:34:23He's going to be there for a little bit, but he's so funny.

00:34:25His reaction to Josh Hart, the shot is unbelievable, if you haven't seen it.

00:34:32All right, who's up next?

00:34:33Up next, eggs, because of Wimby getting an egg thrown at him.

00:34:37I want to go ahead and say, look, I know that it's not a great look for the Knicks fans.

00:34:44However, eggs don't hurt.

00:34:46Bring them in.

00:34:46I think eggs are silly, and I think they're fun.

00:34:49It's the thought behind the egg.

00:34:51You don't throw eggs at people, especially NBA players.

00:34:54It doesn't hurt.

00:34:55Yeah, so if we're talking to eggs in general, of course, they're an internal club member.

00:34:59But we're talking about it in relation to Wimby.

00:35:02Also, are these people that stand there outside the hotel, are they security screened or anything?

00:35:07They're losers.

00:35:09Whoa, Dana.

00:35:10Oh, you think the people throwing eggs at NBA players are losers?

00:35:14Yeah, they're losers.

00:35:14They're losers.

00:35:16We hold these truths to be self-evident.

00:35:18Those are losers.

00:35:19There could be some lunatics out there.

00:35:21All right, up next on the docket, we got Mr. Busy.

00:35:25Brandon Busy.

00:35:26Buffy, he in the club.

00:35:27Yeah, bring that Buffy in the club.

00:35:29Bring that Buffy in here, baby.

00:35:31More Buffy.

00:35:32Buffy in the club.

00:35:33Always welcome in the club.

00:35:35Is he cross-eyed in this?

00:35:36I don't know.

00:35:37Maybe.

00:35:38He's so cross-eyed.

00:35:39He's focused.

00:35:40He's focused.

00:35:40He's got tunnel vision on the puck.

00:35:42Yeah.

00:35:42He's straight at his nose.

00:35:43Look at him.

00:35:44That's that mincey focus for you guys.

00:35:46And lastly, we have the Seahawks Super Bowl ring.

00:35:50Let's see them.

00:35:51Okay, here, I'll give you this.

00:35:52Look at these.

00:35:53Look at these, guys.

00:35:54What do you think about this?

00:35:55Yep.

00:35:55I mean, I'm in the club.

00:35:56I'm going to say no.

00:35:57It's just, I mean, it's nice, but like it's a Super Bowl ring.

00:36:00It's standard.

00:36:00Like, what's a, like, get it out.

00:36:03All champions get in.

00:36:05All champions get in.

00:36:05Yeah.

00:36:06Okay, that's, you know what, actually.

00:36:07Great point.

00:36:08In the club.

00:36:09And that's all the club.

00:36:10Well, well, well, well, well.

00:36:11What about our weekly guy now going to be on CBS, a former champion Seahawks himself.

00:36:16Russie Wilson, baby.

00:36:18No, he got his one week.

00:36:18Yeah, he got his one week.

00:36:20Yeah, he got his one week, dude.

00:36:21He got his one week, dude.

00:36:22Poor Russ.

00:36:23Look at that graphic.

00:36:24Poor Russ.

00:36:25Oh, man.

00:36:26I don't even want T-Bob.

00:36:27Russ with the A's.

00:36:28No, what do you, what do you, what do you want to do?

00:36:30Are you going to draw?

00:36:31Okay.

00:36:33All right, guys.

00:36:34There it is.

00:36:35That's who's in.

00:36:36That's who's out.

00:36:37You're out of the club.

00:36:37May all of you get in your club tonight when you try to go.

00:36:41Coming up next, we head to the money corner.

00:36:43Mega making money.

00:36:43Going to give you another one.

00:36:45More Wake Up Barstool on MS1.

00:37:02I want to revisit the World Cup real quick here as we exit outside of the money corner.

00:37:08We're talking U.S. men's national team.

00:37:10Names to know.

00:37:11I've been thinking a lot about Balogun.

00:37:13He's been playing great in the attack.

00:37:14He could have been on Team England.

00:37:16He chose the U.S.

00:37:19But in your estimation, what is, maybe like outside of Pulisic, who are the names that

00:37:24people should be locked into tonight on this U.S. men's national team?

00:37:27For goal scorers?

00:37:29Just in terms of, I think, in terms of importance to the result.

00:37:33Tyler Adams and Weston McKinney, they should be playing next to each other in the midfield.

00:37:37They're the engine of this team.

00:37:38They're going to make it go.

00:37:39They go box to box, so they have to be great defensively and hopefully crash the box to

00:37:44get a goal at the other end.

00:37:45And then it's the wingbacks.

00:37:47I mean, we're leaving out Pulisic and Balogun.

00:37:50Balogun might not even start.

00:37:51It might be Pepe.

00:37:52Oh, really?

00:37:53Pochettino.

00:37:54It doesn't matter.

00:37:55Those guys are basically even.

00:37:56But Destin Robinson on the outsides, they're going to also be responsible for creating

00:38:02a lot of offense, getting forward, whipping balls into the box.

00:38:05So those are probably the four names that if we win, those four are going to be creating

00:38:10a lot and having the ball a lot.

00:38:12Now, we talked earlier about the U.S.'s traditional identity.

00:38:14When we didn't have the ability to push, it was defense, but it was goalkeeping, right?

00:38:18We've always had great goalkeeping.

00:38:19A couple of Matts in play.

00:38:20Who gets to start tonight, do you think?

00:38:22Feels like it's going to be Matt Fries, Harvard guy, MLS guy.

00:38:25Matt Turner, I mean, since he went over to England, he played for my favorite team,

00:38:30Nottingham Forest.

00:38:31He's been a disaster basically ever since.

00:38:33So he lost his starting job for the United States.

00:38:35So I think it's going to be Matt Fries.

00:38:37But again, like you said, that's always been, we've had the only world-class position we've

00:38:42had for the last 30 years has been in net.

00:38:45This is the first World Cup, I guess last time too, where we don't have like a guy who

00:38:50can be a starter for one of these big clubs in Europe.

00:38:53So that's, it is a weak point, but I think we'll be okay.

00:38:55All right, now let's get outside of the U.S. as a team here, Chief.

00:38:59And I want to, in honor of the money quarter, we have our golden boot odds here.

00:39:04You got Mbappe up top because of course he is plus 600.

00:39:06Harry Kane's still there.

00:39:07Our guy Erlen Haaland coming in at plus 14.

00:39:11Who jumps out on, who would you play on this list?

00:39:14I mean, if you think Norway can make a run, it's Haaland.

00:39:18So, because he's going to score so many goals in the group stage.

00:39:21Like I think they play Iraq in the group.

00:39:23He might have four goals in that game.

00:39:26I really do like Harry Kane.

00:39:28It feels like Tommy Tuchel built the entire team around Harry Kane.

00:39:33He just scored like 50 goals this past season.

00:39:37So, I think Harry Kane at plus 700 is a good bet.

00:39:41I think Kylian Mbappe always.

00:39:42But they're going to be a little bit more balanced, I think, this time, France.

00:39:45Instead of just being just about him.

00:39:47We see Dembele's on there, too, for them.

00:39:49So, I'd probably say Haaland or Kane.

00:39:52Okay.

00:39:52And then, again, this is a name to watch here, guys.

00:39:55Okay, Mikey?

00:39:56Lamine Yamal.

00:39:57Yeah, we were talking about him yesterday.

00:39:58The prince that was promised.

00:40:00Babe.

00:40:00How many princes are promised?

00:40:01I was just going to ask that question.

00:40:03That's how prophecies work.

00:40:05That's how prophecies work.

00:40:06You have a lot of candidates.

00:40:07And one rise is the top.

00:40:08So many princes.

00:40:09That's how this is or it's hot.

00:40:10It's only two for this show.

00:40:11And you keep promising French princes.

00:40:14I'm saying he's Spanish.

00:40:17He's the chosen one.

00:40:18Well, you're weird, dude.

00:40:19Messi gave him a bath when he was six months old.

00:40:23You're obsessed with these minors, dude.

00:40:24Messi gave him a bath when he was six months old.

00:40:27You're obsessed with these guys that are, like, under 21 years old.

00:40:29Mexico had a guy who was 16.

00:40:31Mike, you like college football.

00:40:33Your entire life is based on a hard-bodied team.

00:40:36Have I ever promised the prince?

00:40:38No.

00:40:39No, you haven't.

00:40:39I could have promised Fernando Mendoza the prince.

00:40:41All right, we got the bear coming up next.

00:40:43Give me the best place for the World Cup.

00:40:45We love you.

00:40:45Thank you, Megan.

00:40:47Megan.

00:40:57The biggest World Cup ever is here.

00:40:59And the U.S. men's national team kick off their World Cup dreams tonight in L.A.

00:41:04Pre-game begins at 6 Eastern with the match at 9.

00:41:07And it's only on Fox.

00:41:09Fox.

00:41:10From Fox to Bear.

00:41:13Our guy, Chris Fleek, coming on the show once again.

00:41:16Best friend of Wake Up Barstool.

00:41:19Bear, what's happening, babe?

00:41:20How are we doing today?

00:41:21We're doing as good as someone who did not catch a single ticket on Belmont Day could be doing.

00:41:29But other than that, we're pretty good.

00:41:30Happy to be back to watch some soccer.

00:41:33Redemption.

00:41:34Redemption in the World Cup, Bear.

00:41:35Minor setback for a major comeback.

00:41:39There are about 18,000 different ways you could bet this tournament, right?

00:41:43Whether it's futures, results, props, everything's in play.

00:41:50What are your betting strategies?

00:41:51What are you most intrigued by?

00:41:53Where are you kind of looking to find an edge?

00:41:55I think the most intriguing thing is trying to kind of figure out who's going to wind up finishing first

00:42:02and second in each of the bracket, each of the group play matches, group play brackets, I should say.

00:42:08Just trying to figure out who's going to draw who on what side of the bracket.

00:42:12Like, there's a really good chance France and Germany, or France and Spain will be able to France and Germany,

00:42:17too.

00:42:17France, Germany, Spain will all be on the same side of the bracket.

00:42:21If you like a dark horse, people may like Uruguay, but there's a good chance they're going to draw Argentina

00:42:27in the round of 32.

00:42:28You can go through the bracket and figure it out based on how you think the matches are going to

00:42:32play out.

00:42:33So, all of that comes into play when you're looking at who's going to win, who may reach the quarters,

00:42:38golden boot.

00:42:39All of your bets kind of come off of your projection as to how these group play matches are going

00:42:45to turn out.

00:42:46How locked in are you generally to footy, Bear?

00:42:50Very.

00:42:51Very?

00:42:52Very, yeah.

00:42:53That was going to be my question.

00:42:54Bear, I know you like to bet everything.

00:42:57So, where would you put the World Cup?

00:42:59Where would you put footy as far as, like, your top favorite things to bet?

00:43:04I have always been, people always ask, like, what's my favorite thing or what would be my go-to bet?

00:43:10I've always told people that if I could make one bet, one bet only for the rest of my life,

00:43:17it would be under two and a half in a high-stakes soccer match.

00:43:21Because, you know, it's two teams that aren't going to want to make a mistake, and they're going to play

00:43:25defensively and not very aggressively.

00:43:28And that would be the way I would go.

00:43:31So, I am more of an under guy, which usually people who were watching soccer for the first time, that's

00:43:37not the way that people want to.

00:43:39They want to see goals.

00:43:39They want to see 2-1 like you did last night with South Korea and Czechia.

00:43:43They want to see that, but not opposed to the slop that South Africa put forth early in the afternoon

00:43:48against Mexico.

00:43:49But, yeah, I'm an under guy.

00:43:51I like looking at that.

00:43:53I like looking at team totals for overmatched teams and going under on that.

00:43:59I am, if I am someone who I can be miserable at times, so I like rooting against human achievement.

00:44:05So, if humans can do nothing and they can't score, I'm all in.

00:44:09Sign me up.

00:44:10You mentioned the golden boot in passing there, Bear, and it's an interesting list.

00:44:15And it's great because there's, like, pretty long odds on everybody.

00:44:19So, it feels like you can convince yourself there's a lot of value we had in a lot of different

00:44:23spots.

00:44:24Who jumps out to you as maybe a potential value play there?

00:44:28I have made three wagers in the golden boot market.

00:44:33For one of the guys, the price is no longer available.

00:44:37Well, Mikel Orzabal from Spain is someone who I bet back in January at, like, 36 to 1.

00:44:45And now you see his prices.

00:44:46He's very – yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

00:44:48So, we know what's going to happen with that.

00:44:5011 to 1 now.

00:44:51He's going to score ones, get subbed off with an ankle knock or something.

00:44:56He will be back.

00:44:56But two guys that aren't on this list that are a little bit further down, Nick Voltemata from Germany is

00:45:05someone that's kind of finally found his position.

00:45:08And he's been very good in the last few friendlies and the tune-ups for this match.

00:45:12You can probably get him somewhere around 40 to 1 as well.

00:45:16And then even further down is Jeremy Doku from the – not the – that's from Belgium.

00:45:22I'm going to yell that.

00:45:22I'm losing my European geography and order there on the west coast of Europe.

00:45:27But, yeah.

00:45:27But Jeremy Doku from Belgium is someone who played really well for Manchester City late in the year.

00:45:32He really picked up the scoring slack.

00:45:34And with Romelu Lukaku, he's the guy who's going to take penalties for Belgium.

00:45:39So, you always worry about that a little bit, that if you can get those penalty goals, penalty kicks, you

00:45:44can kind of tally add up to your total.

00:45:46But Doku is someone, I think, on the wing with Belgium's group.

00:45:50They play a bunch of teams.

00:45:52They should rack up a bunch of goals.

00:45:54They get a draw on that lower left side of the bracket if they win their group, that they have

00:45:57a good path to the quarter.

00:45:59So, you can be looking at six games from Doku.

00:46:01And if he can maybe get five goals, I think that would put him in the mix.

00:46:05So, 80 to 1 on him.

00:46:07Those are the three guys that I have for Golden Boot.

00:46:09So, Bear, I used to host a radio show with somebody you know very well, our guy Jacob Hester.

00:46:14Oh, yeah.

00:46:15And a degenerate gambler in his own right.

00:46:19Really?

00:46:19Yes.

00:46:20Oh, he's just moved up infinitely on the ladder of respect.

00:46:24Oh, well, you're going to love what I'm saying.

00:46:25I always loved him as a player, but now forget it.

00:46:28Now he's, we're going to have to connect now.

00:46:29So, you're going to love what I'm going to say next thing because his favorite thing to bet are just

00:46:34random soccer leagues from around the world.

00:46:36And he had this whole system where he'd, like, look at the table and he would bet it live, like,

00:46:40after the 75th minute.

00:46:41And if, like, the, if the favor was winning, whatever.

00:46:44So, he had a whole system play.

00:46:46And the reason I bring it up is there's a great chance that if you're going to be betting this

00:46:50tournament, you haven't seen a lot of these countries play.

00:46:52So, if you don't have, like, boots on the ground, like, eyeballs experience, do you have a system for kind

00:46:59of how to judge these things or any kind of guidelines or rules that you follow?

00:47:04I don't really have any guidelines.

00:47:07I hate betting overs.

00:47:09Usually, I don't like betting both teams to score either.

00:47:12However, I do like both teams to score in Morocco, Brazil.

00:47:17I like, usually for the most part, I think the first halves of matches tend to be a little bit

00:47:23more defensive because you've got teams that, if they've done their scouting, they've done their game plans.

00:47:29They just kind of, the first few minutes of the match, they're just kind of working themselves into play.

00:47:35And then maybe you're going to halftime nil-nil or one nil.

00:47:38Then the second half can tend to be a little bit more wide open.

00:47:41So, if you're looking for a first half under, no goal scorer first half, you have to also know style

00:47:52of play for a lot of these teams.

00:47:54But you need to know that Haiti is, I just wrote up my Haiti bet for FoxSports.com the other

00:48:00day.

00:48:00You have to know that they're basically a defending counter type team.

00:48:04So, like, under three and a half corner kicks for them against Scotland is something that I like.

00:48:09A team like Czechia that doesn't, they're really rough and physical and they're good in the air.

00:48:14Like, which of these teams that really rely on set pieces?

00:48:17So, yeah, it does take a lot of, I don't admit to knowing everything.

00:48:22And I don't certainly watch all these international leagues in Croatian football in Serbia and everything.

00:48:31But I do know, I pay attention, I read, I know certain players.

00:48:36And then once you preview these teams, you can get a little, you have half the battle or more than

00:48:42half the battle of just knowing where to go to get the information that you don't.

00:48:45That's a great insight, Bear.

00:48:46Mikey?

00:48:49Bear, do you have, like, a long shot group winner?

00:48:54Yes.

00:48:55He's bailed you out, dude.

00:48:57He's bailed you out.

00:48:58I was trying to throw to Mikey to mess with him and he's bailed you out with a long shot

00:49:02Cinderella winner.

00:49:03You're lucky.

00:49:04Sorry, Bear.

00:49:05No, you're good.

00:49:06See, it's always good to have something in the file, a crutch question.

00:49:11Yep.

00:49:11You can always fall back on.

00:49:13Like, remember, like, if you guys are the same probably as me, like, you'll meet someone, like, years ago when

00:49:20you'll forget them.

00:49:21And you always say, oh, good to see you.

00:49:24Not good to meet you.

00:49:26Yes, yes, yes, Bear.

00:49:27Good to see you.

00:49:27That way they can feel like, oh, wow, he remembers that I met them.

00:49:31But anyway, that's my, like, crutch introduction.

00:49:34Is that what you did to me, Bear?

00:49:35I thought we were friends.

00:49:37Yeah, that's exactly right.

00:49:39Good to see you.

00:49:41Good to see you.

00:49:42Yeah, but be careful.

00:49:43Well, don't tag it again on there.

00:49:44Because then what if you haven't met me?

00:49:45So, yes, you've got to be strict about it.

00:49:47Good to see you.

00:49:48I am.

00:49:49I just don't.

00:49:50It's good to make people feel good about themselves.

00:49:52But anyway, Mike, your long shot group winner.

00:49:55I mentioned Germany before, but they're in a group with the Ivory Coast.

00:50:00And here's a sentence that probably has never been muttered on Wake Up Barstool.

00:50:04The elephants are low-key loaded.

00:50:07Oh, thank you.

00:50:08Yeah, that's what the Ivory Coast.

00:50:09This is an elephant panel today, too.

00:50:13I was going to say, that's why I'm at home here and comfortable.

00:50:17But the Ivory Coast, they have a bunch of young attacking stars.

00:50:23Evan Gasson.

00:50:25Exactly.

00:50:26He might be winding up in Liverpool, which I hope he does.

00:50:29It's Liverpool or PSG.

00:50:30Evan Gasson, who's kind of been their first choice striker right now.

00:50:33Diallo, who plays in the Premier League.

00:50:36And then they have a mix of, like, youth and, like, veterans on the back line in midfield.

00:50:43Germany's going to be in a bunch of high-scoring matches.

00:50:46I actually made a bet.

00:50:48You're talking about, like, some of these obscure bets that you can make.

00:50:50I bet this group to be the highest-scoring group because you're basically just going to look at these teams.

00:50:56Germany's going to score goals.

00:50:58Ecuador won't really allow.

00:50:59But Ivory Coast and Curacao is just going to be, like, open for business.

00:51:03That's going to be the team that allows all the goals there.

00:51:06But the Ivory Coast, if the elements are, if it's warmer, obviously playing in AFCON, that will help them.

00:51:13They're used to playing in warmer weather.

00:51:14I am not sold that Germany are head and shoulders above everybody in this group.

00:51:19Ivory Coast, you could probably get around 9 or 10 to 1 to win this group.

00:51:24So that would be a long-shot type play if you're looking for something that probably had a lot of

00:51:29people.

00:51:30Morocco is a team in Brazil's group, which is a possibility for a price play.

00:51:34But very few people, I think, out there are touting the Ivory Coast to win that group.

00:51:39Yeah, it feels like they'd be a fun team to cheer for, too.

00:51:41You mentioned kind of the youth and the excitement there.

00:51:43Great uniforms.

00:51:44Yes.

00:51:45Yeah.

00:51:46Really good.

00:51:46Okay.

00:51:47So, Bear, I'm going to pull a weird kind of whiplashy turn here, so I apologize in advance.

00:51:52Okay.

00:51:53But we've been talking a lot of gambling, and as always.

00:51:56I know where we're going.

00:51:57Yes.

00:51:57I'm ready for it.

00:51:58Yes, yes, yes.

00:51:59As always, we should gamble responsibly, right?

00:52:01And, well, it's been in the news.

00:52:03With the Brendan Soresby saga, Texas Tech yesterday releasing a 22-minute video, which is, you know,

00:52:09me thinks the lady doth protest too much.

00:52:11Sometimes it's better to just stay quiet.

00:52:15I'm sorry that happened.

00:52:16No, I'm happy for you.

00:52:17You think I'm watching that?

00:52:18Yeah, yeah, exactly.

00:52:19No, exactly.

00:52:19I ain't reading all that.

00:52:21So, Bear, but what's your thoughts on the overall Soresby situation, the injunction granted

00:52:26by the judge, and kind of what it means?

00:52:31It's ridiculous.

00:52:33I just don't know how a rogue local judge in Lubbock, Texas can overrule, like, what is

00:52:40clear.

00:52:40I mean, this is not a gray area.

00:52:42This is black and white.

00:52:43Like, the number one taboo, not only as a college athlete to have you bet, and you bet

00:52:48on your sport.

00:52:50You bet on your games involving your team.

00:52:52Like, I don't know how this is possible.

00:52:55I have a great solution, though.

00:52:57I think all of the teams that play Texas Tech this year, especially your Northwest, Nichols,

00:53:05Abilene, Tech State, the teams that have, like, no money at all, they should just, you

00:53:11know what, we're going to go into this game, we're going to bet on Texas Tech, and they're

00:53:16just going to go in there and lay down.

00:53:20Oh, we don't have any money for our players, so it's okay to bet on these games.

00:53:23So, we said, yeah, you know what?

00:53:25Let our players bet on this game, and we'll bet Texas Tech to win by 90, and then they

00:53:29can line their pockets by betting.

00:53:32Clearly, it's okay to do it now, right?

00:53:33So, that's clearly my tongue-in-cheek response.

00:53:37It's really, really sad, and it's really a shame.

00:53:40I don't know who is advising Texas Tech, but everything, there was a map, and there was

00:53:47a path, like, what you should not do in response.

00:53:52Like, that's the PR plan, like, they've done right now.

00:53:55If you need a 22-minute video to explain why Brandon Sorsby should be playing, he probably

00:54:01shouldn't be playing.

00:54:02Yeah, yeah.

00:54:05It's, and I get people, hey, Bear, T-Bob, Megan, you guys like to bet?

00:54:10How can you be against this?

00:54:12We're not anymore, well, you were or not anymore, though.

00:54:17We're not playing quarterback at a top 10 team in the country.

00:54:20Yeah.

00:54:23It's mine, and then the Texas Tech response, like, oh, they're afraid.

00:54:27No, it's not that you're afraid.

00:54:30Here's the ultimate irony in all of this.

00:54:33Texas Tech ceiling with or without Brandon Sorsby is the exact same thing.

00:54:3912-1, Big 12 champs, and maybe you win a playoff game.

00:54:43So why are you going, why are you dying on this hill?

00:54:49There's a kid from Western Carolina, Teron Jenkins, I think is his name.

00:54:55He was at UNC.

00:54:56He could be a really good insurance package right now.

00:55:00Will Hammond, I think, will be back at some point.

00:55:03He's someone that Texas Tech can count on.

00:55:05Like, I don't get why you're putting your reputation and all of this on the line for this kid.

00:55:12Yeah, I mean, I get going to bat for your guy, but again, as you said, 22 minutes.

00:55:17But also, you can go, like, the thing is, you can go to bat for him, though, and still be

00:55:23like, but we understand why he's not playing.

00:55:27You still want to support him.

00:55:29Addiction's a very real thing.

00:55:30I do believe in the disease model of addiction and getting support to overcome it.

00:55:35But yeah, there are consequences as well.

00:55:36My mom's still in GA.

00:55:37It's okay.

00:55:38And look, I want to be clear.

00:55:40Bear, I'm a bit biased here because we love Coach McGuire.

00:55:44He's a great supporter.

00:55:45Yes.

00:55:46And I love what Texas Tech has done in terms of being like, no, we can pay players.

00:55:49We're going to do it.

00:55:50We're going to invest in these guys.

00:55:51But we're just maybe a bit at odds with this issue.

00:55:54Bear, cannot thank you enough for the great insight.

00:55:57As always, we love you.

00:55:58We miss you.

00:55:58We will talk to you again soon.

00:56:01Well, you guys know where I am.

00:56:02I'm always here.

00:56:03Let's do it again throughout the tournament.

00:56:05We have golf next week, too.

00:56:06We got some U.S. Opens.

00:56:08Hey, send him my way, Bear.

00:56:09Send him my way.

00:56:10I will.

00:56:11Have a great weekend, everyone.

00:56:12Bear's fan with.

00:56:13His ability to.

00:56:15He's got it all.

00:56:16To maintain all this information is so impressive.

00:56:19He's just the best.

00:56:20He is the best.

00:56:21I love him.

00:56:21You know what else is a lot of fun?

00:56:23Smash or pass.

00:56:24Yeah.

00:56:24So we're doing World Cup edition of Smash or Pass coming up next here on Wake Up Barstool.

00:56:35We're time to welcome back to Wake Up Barstool.

00:56:37It's time to play a little Smash or Pass.

00:56:39World Cup edition.

00:56:41We're going to be putting some countries' cuisines against one another, and we'll choose

00:56:44who wins.

00:56:45All right.

00:56:45First up, Canada versus Bosnia-Herzegovina.

00:56:50Never mind.

00:56:51What's up, babe?

00:56:51Argentina.

00:56:53Argentina for sure.

00:56:54First, Algeria.

00:56:56We got Argentinian steak versus couscous.

00:56:59Argentina.

00:56:59It's a tough matchup for Algeria here.

00:57:02Yeah.

00:57:02What is that?

00:57:02They're getting smoked.

00:57:03It's a little chimichurri.

00:57:05I mean...

00:57:05It doesn't look good.

00:57:06It's delicious.

00:57:07You don't like chimichurri?

00:57:08Whatever that is.

00:57:09Green?

00:57:09You would like...

00:57:10On the right.

00:57:12Yeah.

00:57:12No.

00:57:13Argentina in a blow-up.

00:57:14Algeria...

00:57:14No, but like couscous is good, but like you can't...

00:57:16I mean...

00:57:17You're going up against Argentinian steak.

00:57:19I would love to eat both, but I'm taking Argentina.

00:57:22I will say Algeria.

00:57:23I think I would rather...

00:57:25It looks like a beef stew, and I think I'd rather a different country's beef stew than

00:57:29with the couscous.

00:57:30Okay.

00:57:31Okay.

00:57:31What do we got next here, guys?

00:57:33I'm not going to call it anymore.

00:57:35Brazil versus Morocco.

00:57:37Can we explain what these are?

00:57:38Feijuara versus tagine.

00:57:41I don't know.

00:57:42Is that quinoa in Morocco?

00:57:43I think I'm going to call Morocco.

00:57:44So, the Brazilian dish here is a rich, slow-cooked stew made with black beans and a variety of

00:57:52pork and beef cuts.

00:57:53So, we're talking like sausage, bacon, ribs.

00:57:56Yep.

00:57:57Yeah.

00:57:58Okay.

00:57:58Now, this Moroccan dish is named after an iconic clear ceramic pot that's cooked in,

00:58:03but it's chicken, lamb, beef with like lemons, olives, honey, dried fruits, aromatic

00:58:07spices, something like cumin, saffron, cinnamon.

00:58:09Again, Moroccan dish sounds incredible, but the meat mixture coming out of South.

00:58:14I mean, look, I mean, South American meat is going to be hard to beat.

00:58:18I'm going to go with Morocco.

00:58:19I will say, aesthetically, Morocco's looks nicer, but Brazil sounds better for me.

00:58:25I mean, again, we're talking sausage, bacon, and ribs.

00:58:29Brazil.

00:58:30With beans and rice.

00:58:31Brazil.

00:58:32I love beans and rice.

00:58:32Listen, man, I'm healthy.

00:58:34I do love beans and rice, too.

00:58:35Come on.

00:58:36All right, what do we got next here, guys?

00:58:38Come on.

00:58:39Oh, Putin.

00:58:40This is Canada versus beans.

00:58:41Easy, my gosh.

00:58:43Putin, Putin, Putin.

00:58:44I love Putin, Putin, Putin.

00:58:45So, anything soaked in gravy, give it to me.

00:58:48Tell me about this.

00:58:49Hold on now.

00:58:50Yeah.

00:58:50Tell me about the Bosnia Herzegovina sausages there.

00:58:52Let's be clear.

00:58:53Poutine's whatever here.

00:58:55This savapi.

00:58:57Grilled, hand-rolled sausages made with beef, lamb, a mix of both the flavored garlic and

00:59:02mild spices.

00:59:03I'm going beer.

00:59:04Hey.

00:59:05Beer.

00:59:06Beer.

00:59:07Beer.

00:59:08Look at me, boys.

00:59:09Canada.

00:59:09Look at me.

00:59:10I thought you were healthy.

00:59:12Nope.

00:59:12Leave that.

00:59:14Yeah, one.

00:59:15Look at me.

00:59:17Shut up.

00:59:19Shut up.

00:59:20Kane.

00:59:20Kane, shut up.

00:59:24I love poutine so much.

00:59:25My mouth's watering.

00:59:26Shout out to old me.

00:59:27So good.

00:59:27All right, next up, we got Colombia versus Uzbekistan.

00:59:30Oh, is that a Ticharon?

00:59:31Let me dive in the notes here.

00:59:34Where was this?

00:59:35There's a garlic on the right.

00:59:36It does look like roasted.

00:59:37Oh, I got it.

00:59:38Okay, Uzbekistan, plov, hearty one-pot rice pilaf, lamb or beef with julienned carrots,

00:59:44onion, spices, a layer of long grain rice.

00:59:46The Columbia dish, bendella paisa, it's the unofficial national dish.

00:59:51It's a massive platter with red beans, rice, fried pork, ground beef, plantain, avocado,

00:59:56fried egg.

00:59:57Give me Colombia.

00:59:59Is that a cheese or wrong?

00:59:59I'm going Colombia as well.

01:00:00Is that a cheese or wrong?

01:00:01I think I'm going Uzbekistan.

01:00:02I am too.

01:00:04Plov.

01:00:05Colombia.

01:00:06They both look really interesting.

01:00:07Lay hotter chicks, too.

01:00:08These are both my exact style of plate.

01:00:11I love, uh, what do I love, Dana?

01:00:15Alformation?

01:00:15Yep, there we go.

01:00:16Alformation, dude.

01:00:18It's a great word.

01:00:19I like, I want to, I want to take that Colombian plate and I just want to mix it all

01:00:22up, dude,

01:00:23and it's just a pile of slop, dude.

01:00:26Dana doesn't like gooey eggs.

01:00:27Is that a blood sausage there?

01:00:29I love a good blood sausage, dude.

01:00:31Underrated.

01:00:33Dipping the bread egg.

01:00:34That's what my Cajun grandma used to call those.

01:00:36Ew.

01:00:36Uh, okay, in Germany, we have the schnitzel versus kashiena.

01:00:41Schnitzel.

01:00:41The schnitzels.

01:00:42The schnitzels are so good.

01:00:44What is, what is this burger?

01:00:45So, kashiena is stuffed cheese.

01:00:47Heartier rich casserole made from hollowed out, melt-in-your-mouth bowl of gouda or Edam cheese.

01:00:53Stuffed with spice meat, vegetables, olive raisins, capers, spices.

01:00:56Oh, man.

01:00:57Dude, give me, give me curacao.

01:01:00Curacao.

01:01:00Give me curacao.

01:01:01If you watch the Barstool Cup on YouTube, I just got kicked out of a soccer match for eating schnitzel

01:01:07on the, on the pitch.

01:01:09Yeah, it's crazy.

01:01:09Don't do that if you're a soccer player.

01:01:11Yeah.

01:01:12But schnitzel is the answer.

01:01:13Dude, stuffed cheese.

01:01:13The cheese looks really good, though.

01:01:15I'm not going to lie.

01:01:16But schnitzel, cheese, guys, stuffed cheese with, like, some of the sausage.

01:01:20What are we talking about?

01:01:21I think they lost me off the olives inside, though.

01:01:23I do love olives, but not in the cheese.

01:01:25Oh, I think around the olives.

01:01:26All right, what do we got next?

01:01:28We got the Dutch versus the Japanese.

01:01:31Struples, struples, struples, struples, struples, struples.

01:01:35Struples are the best.

01:01:37They are literally so good.

01:01:39I just like saying struple.

01:01:40And Chaps, did you see Chaps had one, like, in Amsterdam?

01:01:43He got, like, one made while he was there.

01:01:45It looks so good.

01:01:46A fresh struple.

01:01:47Oh, my God.

01:01:47It goes great in coffee, too.

01:01:49Oh, yeah.

01:01:49Like, a little one for you to dip.

01:01:51Oh, yeah.

01:01:51I love struples.

01:01:52Matcha's good, too, but.

01:01:53Nah, no.

01:01:54Struples rock.

01:01:55I almost pulled a Dana with the struples.

01:01:58I think production did Japan dirty with giving them matcha ice cream as their food.

01:02:03That's true.

01:02:03We were looking for two desserts, but you're right.

01:02:06Like, Japanese cuisine's normally winning 99% of matchups.

01:02:10Yeah, for sure.

01:02:10They got a bad draw here.

01:02:12All right, the best one yet, guys.

01:02:15The United States versus Paraguay.

01:02:18Burger and fries versus Sopa Paraguay.

01:02:21USA.

01:02:22USA.

01:02:24What even is that Paraguay corn?

01:02:25It's a solid soup.

01:02:27It's corn with cheese, onions.

01:02:30Get Paraguay out of here.

01:02:30Served with barbecue meats.

01:02:32No.

01:02:32Get them out of here.

01:02:33It looks like a stuffed polenta.

01:02:35No, it's like a cornbread.

01:02:37Okay, let's be clear.

01:02:38Well, I don't know what a polenta is.

01:02:39It's like a grit cake.

01:02:41Okay.

01:02:42I was just going to say, like, let's not sleep on Paraguay here.

01:02:45This is basically a cornbread stuffed with, like, meats and cheese and onions.

01:02:48I love cornbread.

01:02:49I love meats and cheese and onions.

01:02:50But that's...

01:02:51America.

01:02:52You can build an empire on that burger.

01:02:53It is.

01:02:54That is our entire country distilled to a single image.

01:02:56You could have gotten a better looking burger.

01:02:58I'm not going to nitpick too much here.

01:03:00You could have gotten one off Dan's, like, Instagram or Facebook.

01:03:03Well, I would say the problem is that looks like a big cat burger.

01:03:08Like, we're looking for a step up.

01:03:11Either way.

01:03:11Nothing wrong with a pub burger, though.

01:03:13Shut up, Mikey.

01:03:14Shut up.

01:03:17Mute.

01:03:17Mute Canix Mike, guys.

01:03:19Jordan, what are we doing?

01:03:21Mute Canix Mike.

01:03:23Yeah, burger and fries are always in.

01:03:25All right, coming up next, Coach John Calipari.

01:03:27Joining the show.

01:03:28Don't go anywhere.

01:03:29Don't go anywhere.

01:03:31Don't go anywhere.

01:03:32Don't go anywhere.

01:03:37Another day of Wake Up Barstool and another Pinch Myself legendary guest.

01:03:43This time, it's Arkansas Head Coach John Calipari.

01:03:46I mean, the absolute.

01:03:48Yeah, again, we don't even need the intro.

01:03:51A man whose name precedes him, Coach Cal.

01:03:53Cal, what's up, man?

01:03:54Thank you so much for waking up with us today.

01:03:56How are we feeling?

01:03:57I'm doing good, guys.

01:03:58I'm doing good.

01:03:59That was, I had an unbelievable weekend.

01:04:03And so, I'm still kind of pumped up about it.

01:04:06Yeah, so let's talk MSG.

01:04:08And there's a million different angles that we could ask you about.

01:04:10I mean, you got former players on the court in front of you.

01:04:13You got former players in the stands with you.

01:04:16Celebrities everywhere.

01:04:17But as a man who, again, whose name precedes him, who knows this game inside out, has spent a lifetime

01:04:24in this game, give us some context.

01:04:26Like, where does that environment rank?

01:04:28You're talking Adam Sandberg.

01:04:30Is that who you're talking about right there?

01:04:32I'm just talking, like, in your experience, as a man who's experienced so much, does this still stand out as,

01:04:39like, a fever dream?

01:04:40Like, what was that?

01:04:41Yeah, there's, there's, I was in one game as a coach.

01:04:47UMass, we're number one in the country.

01:04:49Go to West Virginia.

01:04:50We're down 20 or 18 with four minutes to go.

01:04:54We come back and win that game as a coach.

01:04:58But as a fan and being in that building here, let me tell you what amazed me.

01:05:02They never booed New York.

01:05:05Yeah.

01:05:06They were down 30.

01:05:08They never booed that.

01:05:11Now, they killed the officials.

01:05:13You know, they killed, they were going nuts about that.

01:05:16And, and, but they stayed into it.

01:05:18How about this one?

01:05:20Their coaching staff and their players to adjust from what happened.

01:05:25Were you guys watching the game?

01:05:27Or do you guys just do the show?

01:05:28Oh, yeah.

01:05:28Yes, no.

01:05:28So, we watched the game.

01:05:29But I, I would say, like, I'm watching as a layman.

01:05:32You know, I'm just kind of taking it in.

01:05:34So, so, the Knicks must play through Carl Henry or Carl, Carl Towns, Carl Henry.

01:05:43How about this?

01:05:43That's a name for my Kansas days.

01:05:47But Carl Towns, you have to play through him.

01:05:52And they foul, they give him two fouls.

01:05:55Yeah.

01:05:55And now they have to totally adjust what they planned on, how they were going to play.

01:06:01And the Knicks are down 20, 25.

01:06:03They were down 30.

01:06:06And then they got back into the rhythm of how they played, made the game of it.

01:06:11The fans never left them.

01:06:13They were there the whole time.

01:06:15And, and that, that three by Carl and another one by Jalen, the three he made.

01:06:22And then the layup, all of a sudden it's anybody's ball game.

01:06:25And it was unbelievable to watch.

01:06:28Unbelievable.

01:06:30I can't even explain what happened.

01:06:33How they, I don't know how San Antonio lost.

01:06:36And I don't know how the Knicks won.

01:06:38And I was sitting there.

01:06:40Well, and so let's explore your coaching hat for a second then, Coach.

01:06:45Like, if you're the Spurs, you're up 20, nine minutes to go.

01:06:51And hindsight 2020 here.

01:06:52But like, how would you have handled it?

01:06:54What do you view as the key errors that they made that kind of opened the door for New York?

01:07:00Let me just say this.

01:07:02The job that Mitch has done with that team, they're crazy to say one moment in time,

01:07:08they have built an unbelievable team.

01:07:12I mean, Ronnie Harper's son is way better.

01:07:15When you see him in person, way better than I thought.

01:07:19Steve's cast way better than I thought.

01:07:22These guys are, they're like middle linebackers.

01:07:25They're huge.

01:07:25Yeah, yeah.

01:07:26And so, but they're young.

01:07:28So what I would say is when you're coaching or playing, it's the life you chose.

01:07:36So whatever you do, if you lose, was wrong.

01:07:43And if you win was right.

01:07:45So I'm going to give you two situations.

01:07:48De'Aaron Fox is playing with a high ankle sprain, which everybody's saying, why did he?

01:07:54Normally, he would have dumped that ball.

01:07:57So why didn't he dribble it out?

01:07:59Well, if he makes the layup and they win, he's a hero.

01:08:01Thank God he didn't dribble it out.

01:08:04He probably got fouled.

01:08:05Let me just say that.

01:08:07If you watch this, he probably got fouled.

01:08:09But he dribbles it out.

01:08:11Maybe he misses a free throw.

01:08:13Something happens.

01:08:14But let me just say this.

01:08:16Just watch.

01:08:17Now, maybe that's a foul.

01:08:20Okay?

01:08:20Maybe.

01:08:21They don't call it because the officials want the players to win the game.

01:08:25Yeah.

01:08:25So if he makes that, he's a hero.

01:08:28If not, they're saying all these decisions.

01:08:31Let me give you on Mitch.

01:08:33Mitch has got this team, a young team, playing loose, which is incredible in that environment.

01:08:41Now, the last play he ran on the baseline out of battle.

01:08:47That was perfect.

01:08:48It was perfect.

01:08:50Yeah.

01:08:50I watched it.

01:08:51I went, oh, my God.

01:08:52He's got a layup.

01:08:55And Carl Anthony Towns put his little finger on it.

01:09:00His little finger.

01:09:02Game of inches, coach.

01:09:04And it changed the whole.

01:09:06You're like, what just happened?

01:09:08And now all that happens are those kind of plays.

01:09:12Here's what I'm going to tell the fans of both.

01:09:15How about we all just enjoy this?

01:09:18This shit is crazy.

01:09:20Excuse my goodness.

01:09:22But I was, they have a picture of me.

01:09:26My staff went crazy.

01:09:27You look like you're, you're, well, I was standing there going like, what just happened?

01:09:34Yeah.

01:09:34This is nuts.

01:09:36And I'm sitting next to Adam Sandler and his wife, Jackie, who, by the way, would never go on this

01:09:43show.

01:09:43But they are unbelievable.

01:09:48They're regular.

01:09:50Adam engaged with the fans, the people behind him.

01:09:53He took pictures.

01:09:54He grabbed cameras.

01:09:55This guy's a regular guy.

01:09:57And I am sending him gear.

01:10:00Yes.

01:10:01Sorry, Rico.

01:10:02No gear for Bosco.

01:10:03Sandman gets the gear.

01:10:05Bosco, you got nothing.

01:10:08He's going to hate that.

01:10:10You made a powerful enemy.

01:10:13There's video of Adam Sandler playing basketball.

01:10:17He's pretty good.

01:10:18Yeah.

01:10:18He's not bad.

01:10:19He's dropped passes.

01:10:20I was laughing with him.

01:10:21But we all just were like, what?

01:10:25This, it's crazy.

01:10:27And when Marcus Camby and I, I coached him, some of you older people, I coached him at UMass.

01:10:32We came up to each other.

01:10:34I said, what happened?

01:10:34He looks at me and I look at him and he said, we almost say it together.

01:10:38West Virginia was our game at West Virginia.

01:10:42He was on that team.

01:10:43So it's been amazing.

01:10:46And the only thing I would tell you guys, if I'm in that situation now, you understand the Spurs because

01:10:55it could easily be three to one for the Spurs.

01:11:00They could have won two games in New York, which means Mitch goes down as one of the great coaches

01:11:07of all time.

01:11:08Now you lose a game.

01:11:10It's like the guy, what is going on?

01:11:11But here's what I would say.

01:11:14I've been in this boat before.

01:11:17How about Alvarado, by the way?

01:11:19I was going to say, you got to love what Jose did, dude.

01:11:21I grabbed him after the game and said, man, I am so happy for you.

01:11:26And what about Mike leaving him in the game?

01:11:29Yeah.

01:11:30Wouldn't you be scared to death and say, I got to take him out.

01:11:33He can't keep doing this.

01:11:34There's no way.

01:11:35May two, geez, get him out.

01:11:36Hurry up.

01:11:37He's good.

01:11:38He left him in the game, which is incredible that he did it.

01:11:42But if my team loses a couple games, and I've done this many times, not many times because we don't

01:11:48lose many,

01:11:49but I've done this a few times where you lose a couple in a row, and you've got a big

01:11:55game coming up.

01:11:57And the couple you lose, they're close games, and you easily could have won them.

01:12:02I tell the team, let's have a mindset that we won those two games.

01:12:06How would we feel going into this game?

01:12:08How would we sleep the night before if we had won both these games?

01:12:12What would our mindset be?

01:12:14Are we like, we're winning this game?

01:12:17Versus you lose a couple, it rattles you.

01:12:19And so my thing would be, hey, man, we won two in New York.

01:12:24Now we've got a home game.

01:12:26I'm going to be honest.

01:12:27I sat there when it was 30 and 26 and 24 and said, oh, my God, they could lose down

01:12:34in San Antonio because of this.

01:12:37They just lost two at home.

01:12:38Now it's 3-2, and it may go to game seven.

01:12:42Where's the game played?

01:12:43In San Antonio.

01:12:45But the Knicks, let me, again, I keep going because sometimes I'll forget, so I got to say stuff when

01:12:52I'm thinking of it.

01:12:54But here, they were two teams built different ways.

01:12:59No one's talking about it.

01:13:03San Antonio did this through the draft and did a great job through the draft.

01:13:09Trading for De'Aaron Fox, who's an all-star.

01:13:12Stop it.

01:13:13He's playing with a high ankle sprain.

01:13:15Stop it.

01:13:16Stop it.

01:13:17He made huge shots in that Knick game that I sat there and watched, and plus he came up and

01:13:24hugged me prior to the game.

01:13:25But I'm telling you that don't do this, but they build it different.

01:13:31The Knicks have three, and I called Jay Wright, three of his players that won two national titles, stayed in

01:13:38school the entire time, and have been in the league eight years.

01:13:42You know how much of a veteran team they have?

01:13:44Yeah.

01:13:45Cat is the only one that went to school one year, but he's been in the league now, been in

01:13:52all-star games, been, you know, and now OG was in school a bunch of years.

01:13:56They have more of a veteran team.

01:14:00So when everybody says, well, down the stretch, New York plays better, what do you expect?

01:14:07What do you think's going to happen?

01:14:08That's a great point.

01:14:09And it's not like coaching stuff.

01:14:12It's they're young, and they're experiencing things for the first time.

01:14:16I've coached freshman teams.

01:14:19Yeah.

01:14:19You don't know what they're going to do.

01:14:21They haven't experienced some of this stuff.

01:14:24Coach, that was really what stuck out to me was the just difference in experience there in the second half.

01:14:31And you have these guys on San Antonio, you know, 22 years old, and it's clear that they haven't really

01:14:37been here before.

01:14:38So I just actually want to switch gears a little bit here and see just from your perspective, you know,

01:14:44us, we're watching on TV.

01:14:45We can't really see just exactly how physical and fast the game is when we're watching on the couch.

01:14:51Can you explain from just sitting courtside or not even courtside, but just right there, you can see the seven

01:14:57-foot-four freak and all these guys playing so fast.

01:15:00What is it like through your eyeballs to see such an intense, fast game in the NBA Finals?

01:15:06Well, I'm yelling to the Knicks to go because when they play fast, they're going to score 130.

01:15:14Yeah.

01:15:14And when they bring it up slower, unless they play through Carl, it's not the same game for them.

01:15:21But here's what I will tell you.

01:15:23And I was talking, I was down in Rock Hill yesterday watching young kids, and they had some of the

01:15:28former NBA officials, Bennett and Mark, and the guys are all down there, Joey.

01:15:35And I said, the game was so physical.

01:15:38I was at San Antonio, Oklahoma City, and that game, they grabbed Shea.

01:15:45Like, he couldn't get up.

01:15:46He had to kick the guy's chest with his foot to get open because they have two arms around them.

01:15:53If you drive and think you're going to shoot a layup and you're going to try to flop, they call

01:15:59them flops.

01:16:00You better get fouled and try to make it.

01:16:03The game is so physical.

01:16:05And then the Knicks, again, are older.

01:16:09They're just grabbing and pushing.

01:16:11How about a ball screen is not you have to come to a stop and let the guy run into

01:16:18you.

01:16:19You're nuts.

01:16:20They are going up.

01:16:22It's like a lineman in football.

01:16:25Boom.

01:16:26Just hit them.

01:16:27I mean, that's what the game is.

01:16:29And you're like, okay, now can I say this to you guys?

01:16:32Yeah.

01:16:33I'm kind of enjoying the game that way.

01:16:35Oh, I'm loving it.

01:16:36I'm enjoying it.

01:16:37I agree.

01:16:38Let the boys play.

01:16:39I'm saying in college, let them play more.

01:16:42Yeah.

01:16:43Yeah.

01:16:43You ready for this one?

01:16:46Replays.

01:16:47I want more replays where you can challenge fouls.

01:16:53As long as they're quick.

01:16:54As long as they're quick.

01:16:55I agree.

01:16:56They're not quick in college.

01:16:57That drives me nuts.

01:16:58Sometimes in college, the guy will say, you know, I'm challenging and I'll say, give it

01:17:03to him.

01:17:04I'm saying give it to him.

01:17:06I'm fouled.

01:17:06I'm going to ruin the momentum.

01:17:08Come on.

01:17:08You know, so I, but I wish we could challenge some because they're big and you know what?

01:17:16Officials want to get it right.

01:17:18Yeah.

01:17:19Yeah.

01:17:19They want to get it right.

01:17:20They're going to, they're trying to stay out of the way of these.

01:17:23I like the fact that they will call a play late.

01:17:26If a guy shoots a layup and he gets whacked pretty good and makes it, they'll let it go.

01:17:32If he misses it, then they blow the whistle and say, well, you know, you caused him the

01:17:37mission.

01:17:38I'm going to give him the fouls.

01:17:39But it's physical and getting open is hard.

01:17:44Yep.

01:17:44Think about that.

01:17:47Coach, I have a question for you.

01:17:48Well, a statement and then a question.

01:17:50So your guy, Kat, you know, he's taken more three-point shots in this NBA finals than he

01:17:57did his entire 39 games in college.

01:18:01You know, eight threes.

01:18:03Why didn't we let him shoot, coach?

01:18:05Yeah, coach.

01:18:05Why didn't we let him put it up?

01:18:07All right.

01:18:07Not to question you.

01:18:08I mean, you are the coach.

01:18:09Well, and then you got Devin Booker saying, I never started him.

01:18:14And so I hold all these kids back.

01:18:17But here's what I would say to you.

01:18:20I went to watch him play in high school.

01:18:22I was recruiting this kid.

01:18:24He was 16 years old.

01:18:27He shot more threes than two guards on his team that were division one players.

01:18:34And I said, you're not doing that with me.

01:18:37You want to be the number one pick.

01:18:39You have to be the best rebounder outside your reach.

01:18:45And you will make free throws.

01:18:48You're an 85% free throw shooter.

01:18:51They'll know you can shoot.

01:18:52Let them deal with it.

01:18:53You're going to be great in pick and roll defense.

01:18:56You're going to be able to guard guards.

01:18:58And he said to me, do you really think I could be the number one pick?

01:19:01I said, yes, I do.

01:19:02And there were guys that were always from, this kid's going to be the number one.

01:19:07The guy's not even in the league right now.

01:19:09This Carl, one, is really coachable.

01:19:12And, yes, I did not let him shoot threes.

01:19:14And the eight he took, I said, you better make them.

01:19:18If you shoot one, you better make it.

01:19:20Well, hey.

01:19:21Two for eight.

01:19:22I was going to say, the step back the other night was unreal, dude.

01:19:28And at that time.

01:19:30I know.

01:19:31Think about it.

01:19:31Yeah, textually, absolutely insane.

01:19:33And then Jalen's three.

01:19:35I mean, those two threes were like, what is going on?

01:19:38I'm sitting there like, this is nuts.

01:19:40And then, how about this?

01:19:41Yeah.

01:19:42When he missed two free throws.

01:19:44I know.

01:19:45And I'm not saying it's on him because when he walked by me, I look at Adam and I go,

01:19:51oh, my gosh.

01:19:52And he made some ridiculous plays normal humans cannot make.

01:19:57Oh, yeah.

01:19:57And I sat there and watched.

01:19:59I'm like, what in the world?

01:20:01But that's why I'm saying, please, fans, just enjoy.

01:20:05Don't be mad at a coach, mad at a player.

01:20:08You're getting to see something that's going to be from 50 years from now, this series is going to be

01:20:15talked about.

01:20:16That's right.

01:20:16Enjoy it.

01:20:18The play where Wimby tips it to himself is just something like, you can't do it.

01:20:23You should not be physically capable of doing that on an NBA court.

01:20:27Coach, you tweeted about this, right?

01:20:30The atmosphere and you're hanging out with Adam Sandler like he said, he's your guy.

01:20:33You were too nervous.

01:20:35Chris Brock.

01:20:35Can I name some names?

01:20:36Yeah.

01:20:37Drop him.

01:20:38Drop all the names.

01:20:40I went down and saw Patrick and Larry and Marcus and I hugged.

01:20:44I saw Latrell.

01:20:46You see all those guys sitting there.

01:20:49And the last time I was at the game, the Knicks put me with them, which I was kind of

01:20:54embarrassed because it's all Knicks and me.

01:20:56I didn't play on the Knicks.

01:20:57I couldn't, but I didn't play on the Knicks.

01:21:00And so then I'm sitting where I am, but it was crazy to see.

01:21:07John McEnroe came up to me as he walked in and I said, hi, I'm John Calipari.

01:21:11He said, I know who you are, coach.

01:21:12And I was like, you know, so it was kind of neat.

01:21:16Wait, but you were too nervous to say what's up to T-Swift.

01:21:19I was scared to death.

01:21:21I was scared to death.

01:21:22Look, we were in the dugout where everybody that's sitting on that road comes down and they have food and

01:21:29drink and all that at halftime.

01:21:31So I'm there with Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld.

01:21:38He was, these people, I could touch everybody.

01:21:40And I see you're coming over to the table.

01:21:45I'm like, oh man.

01:21:48And I, but here's what I figured out.

01:21:51She had no idea who I was.

01:21:53None.

01:21:54She would have looked at me like, is he the weatherman?

01:21:57I don't have any idea who this guy is.

01:22:00So now I could, she's six feet from me.

01:22:04And she's talking and, and, and then I, I'm staring.

01:22:08So then I started looking at my phone, nothing on it, but I didn't want to act like I'm just

01:22:12staring.

01:22:13You know what I mean?

01:22:14Yeah.

01:22:15And then I'm thinking, I got to go say hello to her.

01:22:18And I'm going to say, no, I talked myself out of it.

01:22:21I'm too nervous.

01:22:23I'm not doing it.

01:22:24I didn't ask anybody to introduce me.

01:22:26She didn't know who I was.

01:22:28And, and if Travis was there, maybe I had a chance if he was there.

01:22:34Cause I think maybe he would go.

01:22:36Yeah.

01:22:36Kelsey knows coach Cal a thousand percent.

01:22:38For sure.

01:22:39A thousand percent.

01:22:39I got to ask one question before we get out of here.

01:22:42This is a, it's a long running thing in my friend group, coach Cal.

01:22:46I, I went to Stonehill college.

01:22:47I graduated in 2015.

01:22:49And at one point or another, you were either around in Brockton or Easton or something for a camp.

01:22:56And I tweeted out, I was just, I was the basketball manager at this D2 school at the time.

01:23:01And I tweeted out saying, coach Cal, come to Stonehill college and drink beers with me.

01:23:07The coach pulled me aside and said, you can't be tweeting that coach is saying, saying that type of stuff.

01:23:12I got in trouble.

01:23:13I need to know, would you have drank beers with me if you saw it?

01:23:18No.

01:23:24Hold on now.

01:23:25Before we go off, I got to tell you, I got three guys in the draft.

01:23:30Okay.

01:23:32Darius Acuff is ridiculous.

01:23:35Ridiculous.

01:23:36Okay.

01:23:37I'm saying he's top four, maybe even lower in a better position.

01:23:43If people pass on him and he gets to six or seven, remember me saying they will regret it because

01:23:53I coached this kid.

01:23:54I coached some pretty good players.

01:23:55Yeah.

01:23:56You got Malik Thomas, who's a bucket, a bucket, hard work.

01:24:01He's going to go in the first round.

01:24:03Now, Trevin Brazil, you know what's going to get Trevin Brazil in the first round?

01:24:07The Knicks.

01:24:08You know why?

01:24:09What?

01:24:09Because they took older college players who could help them.

01:24:15That is Trevin Brazil.

01:24:17And I'm looking at it saying like, you know what?

01:24:21We got a chance to have three in the first round, which would make me really happy.

01:24:26Acuff is unbelievable.

01:24:28I think whoever gets him is going to get an absolute star.

01:24:31Yeah.

01:24:31All right, so I got to give you one.

01:24:33There's only been four players in the history of college basketball, 18 points, 10 assists, no turnovers, zero turnovers.

01:24:45One, R.J. Barrett did it.

01:24:48Pretty good player.

01:24:49Yeah, pretty good player.

01:24:51Darius Acuff did it.

01:24:53Pretty good player.

01:24:55Third player.

01:24:55You ready?

01:24:57Yeah.

01:24:58Darius Acuff did it.

01:25:02The fourth player, though.

01:25:05Darius Acuff?

01:25:06Yeah.

01:25:08There we go.

01:25:09How do you pass on this kid?

01:25:11But you know what?

01:25:12I've seen crazier things.

01:25:15Coach Cal, I mean, it goes without saying, but I cannot thank you enough, man.

01:25:19Just incredible insight.

01:25:22So generous with your time.

01:25:23So sincere in your answers.

01:25:25Woo pig.

01:25:25Oh, we didn't mention Kelton Johnson.

01:25:28I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.

01:25:31And he's too many players.

01:25:34He's part in Carl Towns.

01:25:35Sue, you're too good of a coach.

01:25:37Yeah, you have too many players, coach.

01:25:38You have too many players.

01:25:39There's too many guys.

01:25:40We should have won a mortgage.

01:25:43Thank you for all the money you did win me, though.

01:25:45I appreciate that, coach.

01:25:47Coach Cal, thank you, man.

01:25:49Thanks, guys.

01:25:50See you, coach.

01:25:51God, what a legend, dude.

01:25:52The best.

01:25:53The best.

01:25:53I love it.

01:25:54Great energy.

01:25:54I mean, well, that's the thing.

01:25:55And that's how you, I mean, that's how you become the recruiter that Cal is.

01:25:59That's how you just create stars.

01:26:01It's like, before I go, my guys are awesome.

01:26:03Yeah, yeah.

01:26:05Shout out, Coach Cal.

01:26:06We love you, man.

01:26:07Wrapping up the show next.

01:26:08I think he would have.

01:26:08I'll drink beers with you.

01:26:09Yeah, all right.

01:26:10He said, uh, no.

01:26:13He didn't say.

01:26:18Welcome back to Wake Up Barstool.

01:26:19Shout out, Coach Cal.

01:26:21Absolute legend.

01:26:22Let's close out a little World Cup here.

01:26:24And if you are European, you're watching this show, you're South American from anywhere in the world,

01:26:29I want a tight shot on Kadic here.

01:26:31I want you to focus on this face right here, guys.

01:26:34Can I get a tight shot on Mikey?

01:26:36Full screen.

01:26:37Because this is what you have to contend with here, folks, okay?

01:26:41This is it right here.

01:26:43This is America.

01:26:44And this is what's coming for your ass tonight, Pargwai.

01:26:47Get ready.

01:26:48I wish this fucking...

01:26:49The mountain.

01:26:51Anything to say?

01:26:53Chief, how do you feel about the environment tonight?

01:26:54Yeah, okay.

01:26:55Wait.

01:26:55I'm a little...

01:26:56USA!

01:26:57Love it.

01:26:58USA!

01:26:59USA!

01:27:01USA!

01:27:02USA!

01:27:03USA!

01:27:05We need 50,000 Mike Kadics at the game tonight.

01:27:08Yeah, we do.

01:27:09It's true.

01:27:10It's true.

01:27:10I am a little bit worried about that.

01:27:12I feel like we don't have the best fans, especially when we're in L.A.

01:27:16So hopefully we come out in force.

01:27:18Like I said, 50,000 Mike Kadics.

01:27:20We can conquer Rome with that.

01:27:21But we need the fan support on home soil.

01:27:24It is, you know, this is not a good thing.

01:27:27But it is a tough trip for Paraguay to get all the way there.

01:27:30It's a long trip.

01:27:31So we'll see.

01:27:33We'll see their send-off.

01:27:35Yeah.

01:27:35Yes.

01:27:36No, I mean, again, that's why I'm a little freaked out.

01:27:38Yeah.

01:27:39This means everything to them.

01:27:42We are a bit of the evil empire, Johnny Calino.

01:27:46It's fun, but it's not like life or death.

01:27:49We'll see.

01:27:49I think we're in like a – it never happens for America where we're kind of an underdog

01:27:53for the tournament in general.

01:27:54So I think if we start fast, we'll be fine, but we've got to start fast.

01:27:59I think if the pressure mounts when you're not getting results, it could turn ugly quick.

01:28:03Balls on net.

01:28:04Here we go, guys.

01:28:05Balls on net.

01:28:06All right.

01:28:06Hey, massive thank you to K&A, Fierce, Chief, Megan, making money.

01:28:10Hey, coming up next, guys, you're not going to want to miss it.

01:28:14These guys spend endless hours in the lab.

01:28:17The most – I mean, unbelievable amounts of research, the most well-researched show on television.

01:28:22First things first.

01:28:23Coming up next, shout-out Wiggy Barstow back on Monday.

01:28:25Post show coming up next.

01:28:27We love you guys.

01:28:30We love you guys.

01:28:32We love you guys.

01:28:33We love you guys.

01:28:34We love you guys.

01:28:35We love you guys.

01:28:36We love you guys.
