00:00Matt and Mike, what's up?
00:02Those guys, they're all full of energy.
00:04I see Mike is crazy.
00:07Mike said it was the best three days of his life.
00:11He's running clearly off of zins, adrenaline, and very low sleep.
00:16He got an hour of sleep last night.
00:18An hour of sleep, but I am literally hot to the touch.
00:20I am changing the temperature in the room right now.
00:22It's white hot.
00:23All right.
00:24That was the best weekend of my entire life.
00:26I don't even know if it's close.
00:27Quite a superlative for you.
00:28Well, we're going to hear all about it.
00:30I know that.
00:30Just imagine if you had gone instead to the engagement party.
00:33Yeah.
00:35Great point.
00:36Yes.
00:36I mean, that was your key decision.
00:38Aren't you glad we talked you out of that?
00:39Not driving to North Carolina over the weekend.
00:42That was your pivot point.
00:44If we didn't talk him out of it, he probably would have gone.
00:45Probably would have.
00:46I think, I don't know.
00:47I mean, do you want to start with Friday night?
00:50Are you guys going out Friday night?
00:52Yeah, I want to hear better.
00:54I mean, first of all,
00:57unbelievable performance by the American team.
01:00Oh, yeah.
01:00Pop it up for a team.
01:01Can you imagine if it was like a 1-0 clunker?
01:04If it was a dud.
01:05What a game.
01:06I kind of figured it would be like a 1-0 dud.
01:09I didn't expect that.
01:11At halftime, Alexi Lalas said it was the best half ever in the history of the World Cup for Americans.
01:16They were throttling Paraguay or Paraguay, whichever one it is.
01:19I'm not sure which, but I mean, it looked like just we completely outclassed in that game.
01:25Yeah.
01:25So you remember when we did the World Cup parties?
01:29Like, yeah.
01:30Yeah.
01:31Like midday.
01:32Dude, you have to go out to watch these games.
01:33Yeah.
01:34Like you have to go to Hyde.
01:35You have to go somewhere to watch these games.
01:37Yeah.
01:37Because the energy is so electric.
01:40Oh, I bet.
01:41Like everyone is just so pumped, full of patriotism.
01:45Well, especially when a bar, I can't remember the name of it, where they'll comp your entire
01:51bill if I think they scored three goals, and I guess they hedged it on Kalshi, and they
01:58hit the number, and the complete bar erupted.
02:01I mean, just pandemonium.
02:04That bar said, like I said, if the USA won by three.
02:08Is that local?
02:08Yeah.
02:09Local place?
02:09If they won by three, your tab was covered.
02:11Yeah.
02:12And then they scored that goal in like the 95th minute.
02:14Just a full-on scene.
02:16The place must have gone berserko.
02:18Where did you guys meet up?
02:20Did you guys just meet up at the bar, or did you meet up somewhere before?
02:23We met up at Hyde.
02:24Yeah.
02:24You did?
02:25Yeah.
02:25We just met at Hyde.
02:26And it was packed?
02:28Oh, my God.
02:28Yeah.
02:29Yeah.
02:29Everybody wearing red, white, and blue?
02:31Let's do a check around.
02:32I did.
02:32About ease?
02:33I did.
02:34Everybody?
02:35Good.
02:35Solid.
02:37I mean, if you weren't wearing American colors, you stuck out like a sore thumb.
02:41Yeah, you have to.
02:41I actually can't wait for Friday to go back out and do it again.
02:45I'm sure.
02:46I mean, it's going to be a fever pitch for the Friday game.
02:50Especially because it's at 3?
02:52It's not at 9?
02:523 p.m.
02:53Much better.
02:533 p.m.
02:54Much better.
02:54That's going to be a long day.
02:56That's a day off, too.
02:57Did you guys pre-game before the game?
03:00Not really.
03:01Not really.
03:01I mean, I golfed before, but you did.
03:03And then, so you get there, and then you guys have special little setup.
03:07Yeah, Chuck set it up.
03:08Chuck set it up.
03:09You had, like, the sofas in the middle.
03:11You had a little private area.
03:11Perfect.
03:12Well, it's right in the middle.
03:13Oh, right in the middle.
03:13Yeah, I mean, it's not private.
03:16Well, that's true.
03:16That's true.
03:17But it was reserved, and, like, the couches are facing each other, so you definitely have
03:21your own little block in the middle of the bar.
03:23And then you had buckets of surf sides.
03:24And it worked out, even though, you know, you didn't have any friends, and Drabb brought
03:28all his friends.
03:29Hey, Drabb's friendly.
03:30He's awesome.
03:31Okay.
03:32Yeah.
03:32You know, it was a good call from him.
03:35Okay.
03:35He's just a good time.
03:36Yeah, he's a good time.
03:37Yeah.
03:37All right.
03:38So what time did you, game was it, or a match was at 9?
03:40What time did you guys get there?
03:427.30?
03:43No, I got there around 8.30.
03:45I got there around 8.15 or something like that.
03:46Yeah, I got there at, like, 8.30.
03:48And it was just packed.
03:49Packed.
03:50It got really packed close to kickoff.
03:53Oh, I bet.
03:53And then they're doing the national anthem, and then everyone's standing up with their
03:57hand over their heart.
03:58Beautiful hat off.
03:59And lids off.
03:59Yeah.
04:00Perfect.
04:00Normally, I wouldn't like to take credit for something like this, but I kick-started a
04:04USA chant.
04:04I looked at, when they're, like, home of the...
04:06I look at Drabb and Valdez, and I'm like, watch this.
04:08And I just stand up on the table, and I'm just, USA!
04:13And next thing you know, everyone at the bar chant USA.
04:15That's the least surprising news of the weekend.
04:18Marr was acting reckless.
04:19He was.
04:20But it was hysterical.
04:21Was he already hammered when he got there?
04:23No, no, no.
04:23It was just a fever pitch of patriotism.
04:28Just a lot of energy.
04:29American pride just bursting through.
04:31I was running so hot.
04:32I was in my flow state.
04:34I just thought I couldn't do wrong.
04:35Like, when we scored the first goal, I was thinking, I was like, this could be a tarps-off
04:38situation.
04:39We're five minutes into the game.
04:41Yeah.
04:41Marr would have taken his shirt off after the first goal.
04:43He thought you were in a Nats game all of a sudden.
04:44So then we...
04:45Tarps off.
04:45When we hit the second and third goal, I literally had my belt off, and I was doing
04:48belt to ass on the air.
04:50And I was just like, ah, come here, Paraguay.
04:53Come get this ass whooping.
04:54We got a video.
04:55Yeah, yeah.
04:55We got a video.
04:56We're definitely going to oppose that.
04:57He was definitely slapping the belt against, like, the sofa at high.
05:00This is his kind of scene.
05:01This is where Mike Marr really shines.
05:04Did you bring a crew, Mike?
05:06So one of my roommates came with me there, and then one of my other roommates met us
05:10there, like, an hour later.
05:12So I always just brought two buddies.
05:13Do your roomies match your intensity, or are you, like, are you the alpha there?
05:18I'm definitely the alpha there.
05:19Yeah, okay.
05:19Yeah, they're not as wild as me.
05:21They're just chillers.
05:22I don't know if I'd say that, but he's the jester.
05:25Oh, okay.
05:25Okay?
05:27Yeah.
05:28He's a great...
05:29Wild word.
05:30I'm the vibe.
05:31Yeah.
05:31That's what I'll say.
05:33Vibes guy.
05:34Well, you know who's the vibes guy in our group?
05:38LT, Caps Goldie.
05:40Yeah.
05:40Oh, he came.
05:41Logan Thompson.
05:42Logan Thompson came.
05:43Oh, yeah.
05:43Very nice, dude.
05:43Very nice.
05:44Oh, yeah.
05:44We're hanging out with him.
05:45Oh, you're hanging out with him.
05:47It was like silly.
05:47I know.
05:47He's in Logan, and yeah.
05:50By the way, I like him a lot.
05:52Very nice guy.
05:53Yeah.
05:53He gets a little points taken away because he went high-five for USA goals.
05:58Why?
05:58Oh, he's Canadian.
05:59He's Canadian, right?
06:00He's Canadian.
06:00Yeah, he's Canadian.
06:01I mean, we were just racking him up.
06:02Yeah, but even in this matchup, he's still better than his boys tied earlier in the day.
06:06I don't know.
06:07We didn't really get into it.
06:08We were just laughing about it.
06:09Must be.
06:10Because he elbow-bumped or fist-bumped, but he refused to high-five.
06:15Yeah, I mean, he's got to get swept up in the moment.
06:17He plays in the nation's capital.
06:19I know he's not American, but you've got to get swept up in the fervor.
06:22That's a lot of points against.
06:23It's the opposite of swept up.
06:25Yeah, yeah.
06:25That's a lot of points against him.
06:27Well, he was probably bummed because his boys, they tied Bosnia earlier in the day.
06:33Yeah, he probably was in a bad mood.
06:34Why'd he even go?
06:35If he was just hanging out, he was a party pooper.
06:38No, no, no, no, no.
06:39He wasn't a party pooper.
06:40He just wasn't.
06:40You wouldn't acknowledge our goals.
06:42How did you guys get introduced to him?
06:44Like, just Chuck.
06:45Chuck.
06:46Okay.
06:47Got it.
06:47Drab, this is Logan.
06:48Very nice.
06:49Did he come by?
06:50Was he by himself?
06:51No, he had some friends with him.
06:52Oh, he did?
06:52Yeah, yeah.
06:53So he was hanging out with you guys pretty much the whole night?
06:55He actually was.
06:57His friends went elsewhere at some point.
06:58I don't know.
06:58For a while, it was just him and us.
07:00Mm-hmm.
07:00He's like, the vibes are good here.
07:02I'm hanging with the boys.
07:02Cool dude, huh?
07:04Very nice guy.
07:05Definitely a good guy to root for.
07:06No problems with him at all.
07:07Did you lose any zeal?
07:08You know, second half, you know, not as exciting as the first half, or no?
07:12No big...
07:13No, because they actually gave me a raffle ticket when I led the USA champ, and they were
07:18raffling off like a brand new Team USA soccer jersey, official FIFA World Cup one.
07:24Yeah.
07:24Your guy won the raffle.
07:25Did you feel it?
07:26No.
07:26I won the raffle, got the jersey, so for me, I was like, without vibes, just skyrocketed
07:31to basically the pre-game vibes.
07:32And so, yeah, threw the jersey on, and it was just, it was chaos.
07:35Yeah, you all got it hot this weekend.
07:37It was so funny because we're all hanging out, and then this blonde smoke show just like
07:43comes up to our couch, and is like trying to hang out and trying to talk to everybody
07:47and trying to talk to Mar, trying to talk to Logan, and everyone's ignoring her because
07:53everyone's just hanging out with the boys and high-fiving, and she had this sourpuss look
07:58on her face.
07:58She couldn't get any attention?
07:59Yeah, she couldn't get any attention at all because everyone was just high-fiving, watching
08:03the game.
08:04It was hysterical.
08:05That's great.
08:07Yeah, we weren't really locked in on the soccer in the second half, I'd say.
08:12We were, it was getting a little loose.
08:13A lot of green tea talk and white teas, and so I don't, if you tell me it was boring,
08:19I
08:19guess it was boring.
08:20I know Gio scored the goal in the 90th minute or whatever that was, but yeah, we weren't
08:26really locked in on the game in the second half.
08:28By halftime, they're all outside smoking six, and then they didn't come back until like
08:31the 80th minute.
08:33You know what?
08:33That's great.
08:34I saw Mara smoking a Virginia Slim at one point.
08:37I don't know what that was.
08:38They still make those?
08:39I didn't know what that is.
08:40It was, I actually don't even know what that is.
08:42I mean, you clearly bummed that off a woman.
08:45It was the skinniest cigarette in America.
08:48It was definitely unmanly.
08:50It's a good joke.
08:51I do like that.
08:51How'd you get it?
08:52Do you even know how you got it?
08:54I guess from someone.
08:56Yeah.
08:56Because I had Barbaro Lights.
08:58Yeah.
08:59I did like a double take.
09:00I'm like, what?
09:01When you're out drinking, do you go through a pack?
09:03No.
09:03No, no, no.
09:04Not even close.
09:05A guy can't smoke a skinny cigarette like that.
09:07That's up with you.
09:08As soon as I crack out the pack, it's like moss to a flame.
09:10So whenever people see it, they're like, can I get one?
09:12I'm like, of course.
09:13You know, I'm just, you know, it's like Halloween candy.
09:14I'm like, you know, you get a car, you get a car, you get a car.
09:17That pack costs you 10 bucks.
09:19Yeah, exactly.
09:20It's all right.
09:21Cigarettes are not cheap.
09:22They're not cheap.
09:23He's the vibes guy.
09:23He's the vibes guy.
09:24Yeah, you got to have them.
09:25All right.
09:25I can't wait to be back at Hyde on Friday.
09:29Run it back.
09:30Three o'clock.
09:30Is it 100%?
09:32With our Aussie.
09:33100% you guys are all going back.
09:34Well, why would we go?
09:36I mean, I'm open to taking it on the road.
09:40Well, I'm not saying go anywhere else.
09:41I'm just saying you're definitely watching the game with people.
09:44Oh, they're definitely going out.
09:45Yes.
09:45Oh, I think so.
09:46For sure.
09:47Especially because it's three o'clock.
09:48Taking the show on the road.
09:49Uh-huh.
09:49Let's do it again.
09:50All right.
09:51Well, we've got a lot more because, obviously, the Knicks was the next night, right?
09:55Yeah, the Knicks.
09:56I want to hear where you guys watch that.
09:57And then, you know, Mar still on one hour sleep from the UFC adventure.
10:03What a weekend.
10:04UFC, the best sporty event I've ever been to.
10:07I'm not even sure it's close.
10:08It was chaos over there on the South Lawn.
10:11I want to get a whole breakdown.
10:13The card, I mean, I don't know how good the card was, but everybody got knocked out.
10:17Yep.
10:17Clean sweep.
10:18All seven knockouts.
10:19Americans won undefeated in the main event.
10:21Justin Gaethje, he was a plus 450.
10:23The guy had no chance, basically.
10:25Well, I'm aware.
10:26He whooped to pour his ass.
10:28Oh, did you?
10:28You had money on the other guy?
10:30No, I did not.
10:32I did not wager on the event.
10:34But you know someone that did.
10:36I know somebody that did.
10:37Oh, yeah.
10:38Yeah.
10:38And they wagered a lot.
10:40It was a big, I'm just going to say.
10:42It was a big number.
10:42It was a big bet.
10:43It was a big upset.
10:44It was a huge upset.
10:46It was a massive upset.
10:48I'm sure that person's not happy this morning.
10:50But what are you going to do?
10:51That's what happens sometimes when you wager.
10:53All right.
10:53That's crazy.
10:54I want to hear all about it.
10:56I want to hear all, especially last night.
10:57So, hold on.
10:58What time did you guys get home Friday night?
11:02Well, I left right after the game.
11:04Yeah.
11:04So, you left around the game.
11:05That was disappointing from Val.
11:06I know.
11:07I had golf the next morning at a match.
11:09Well, I mean, I know.
11:10I was tired.
11:10I went to bed in the middle of the second half.
11:12So, I mean, I was out of there before midnight.
11:15I was out of there at like 11.40.
11:17Yeah.
11:17So, like, as soon as the final whistle happened and then they started playing music.
11:20That was like 11.10 or something.
11:23Were you ready to go to the next spot?
11:27No, I was just more ready to move it to the patio and socialize out there and hang out
11:32and have a few more McAltras.
11:34Trust me.
11:35They were better.
11:36Chuck was better.
11:36He said, you're leaving?
11:37I was like, dude, it's after 11.
11:40The party rolled on.
11:41I mean, with or without Val.
11:43I'm not the party starter.
11:45Trust me.
11:45Hyde was bumping with or without me.
11:47Was Logan still there when the game ended?
11:49I don't remember.
11:51I didn't say bye to him.
11:53But again, hopefully he's there on Friday.
11:55Was Matt Cahill a little bit housed?
11:57No, no, no.
11:57No.
11:58He had a Pacers.
11:59Because you don't drink a lot.
12:00I mean, you drink a couple.
12:01No, I paced myself.
12:01He was fine.
12:01He was nursing his beers.
12:03He avoided the shots.
12:06Avoiding the shots.
12:07More like talk.
12:08Oh, by the way, Valdez got so embarrassed.
12:11Because?
12:12Should we talk about that when we come back?
12:15No.
12:16A very cool, smooth black guy came up and elbowed Valdez out of the way to say hi to me.
12:22Valdez is just the third man standing there.
12:25So he's going to take some shots.
12:27He elbowed Logan out of the way.
12:29I've never seen a bigger Drav fan in my life.
12:32Yeah, AJ, the smooth brother.
12:34All he wanted to do was something to Drav.
12:35So many muscles.
12:36Yeah, I know.
12:37He was wearing a cut-off shirt.
12:38Yeah, good-looking guy.
12:39Yeah, he was scythe.
12:41Yeah, he was just the biggest Drav fan I've ever seen in my life.
12:44And you loved that.
12:45You loved every second of that.
12:46I mean, I was trying to talk to him and everything, but all he wanted to do was just look
12:51at Drav's
12:51new hair.
12:52It's like you weren't even there.
12:53I know.
12:53It was kind of weird.
12:55All right, so it was a massive weekend.
12:57We'll be talking about that and more throughout the show.
13:00When we come back, we'll get into the Knicks winning their first NBA title in over 50 years.
13:05We'll break that down when we come back here on The Junks.
