00:00The world of sports doesn't stop just because it's everyone else's weekend.
00:06Don't worry, H-Town, Clint, Ron, and T-Mill will get you up to speed.
00:12It's weekend's best and weekend's worst on The Drive.
00:18Shout out to the big voice, man. We got a little open for this sucker now.
00:21There we go. This thing's official now.
00:23Got open-end music here, huh?
00:25Yes, sir.
00:26Clint is out today, but Paul Galan is in, and he will hold down his weekend's best, weekend's worst.
00:33I'll start off with weekends. I know Tyler likes to go with the worst.
00:38I'm going to start off with my inner Tyler. I'm going to start off with my weekend's worst.
00:43Yeah, man. You've got to get the bad out of the way so you can really hone in and focus
00:47on the good stuff.
00:48So my weekend's worst happened, and I'm going to put it on myself.
00:54I think I could have made a better decision at the whiskey bar that I was at on Friday.
01:02Great spot. Permissions. Beautiful spot. Enjoyed it. Great drinks.
01:07But I had to use the restroom and got there, went to open it.
01:13Oh, for those one stool. And there's a couple of us kind of waiting out there.
01:19And the guy came in, came out, opened the door, but I could see this guy really had to go.
01:25And I'm like, well, here, man, let me get in here and knock this out real quick.
01:28But I close the door behind me, and I lock it, and I see, Tyler, there's a stall, and there's
01:35a urinal, and a toilet.
01:40A little privacy.
01:41And I thought, wow. I guess I could let him in, but I didn't, man.
01:45I went in. I went in. Just took care of mine.
01:48Yeah.
01:48Beed. Washed my hands.
01:50But I could tell that guy behind me, he had to go.
01:52And I kind of felt bad a little bit.
01:55You let him sweat it out.
01:56After I washed my hands, and I kind of looked at it and made sure I looked all good, I
02:00didn't rush it.
02:01And then I got out, and he was like, oh, thanks, brother.
02:03And I think, as soon as he got in there, he was thinking, damn, man, you're going to let me
02:07pee right here on this.
02:09Yeah, I did.
02:10So I was selfish. I was selfish on that.
02:13You never know if the person who seems to be holding it in is holding in the one or the
02:18two.
02:18And you don't want to be sharing for someone who says, I don't care, man.
02:22You're right.
02:23I don't care.
02:23I wish I was thinking that.
02:25I just think when I closed that door, I said, well, I've already closed it, man.
02:29Let me lock it out.
02:30I think you made the right call.
02:31That's the right call.
02:31All right, what's your weekend's worst?
02:33I'm so sick of soccer.
02:35I'm sick of it.
02:36I'm so sick of it.
02:37We've got to talk about this.
02:38This weekend, my God.
02:41So first off, for anyone who knows me, you've known me long enough.
02:44I am Irish, French, Canadian, Scottish, and from Boston.
02:48I hate the English.
02:49I just hate them.
02:50I don't like them.
02:52I don't like the way they talk.
02:55I don't like their stupid.
02:56Yeah, because they're all janky teeth.
02:59And these people still have a monarch.
03:02I mean, they're the worst.
03:04And I hate that their team is still playing.
03:07And they got a lot of help.
03:09They got a lot of help from something that's driving me crazy with soccer.
03:12And I have enjoyed some of these games.
03:14But please, for the love of God, explain to me why you have VAR.
03:18A ball went off of the effing rope that holds up the sky cam, and you can't VAR to take
03:24a look at that.
03:25But you can take away a Norway goal where some dude flops against Hovland in the box.
03:31I was getting very upset watching that game.
03:34And then the game happens at night, and between the Swiss, famously, who stand for so many things,
03:43versus the people who allowed a certain group of folks to escape their country at the end of World War
03:48II,
03:48between those two countries, the flopping and flopping and flopping some order.
03:52Some guy got tossed for flopping.
03:55Saturday's soccer made me angry.
03:58I'm done with the World Cup.
03:59I'm not done with it.
04:00I just, and I know a lot of it is probably my American ways of watching it,
04:06and I just don't watch soccer a ton and understand the, like, this is kind of the culture of it.
04:12But I've told Tyler this.
04:14I've told this, like, and you continue to watch it, and that Argentina-Switcherland matchup was just the latest is,
04:21like, they just have a lot of things that don't seem to fit, like, the penalty.
04:26Like, I understand, like, James Harden flops his ass off a lot.
04:33Many players flop their asses off.
04:35I don't think that there's any way that we should go to the tape and then kick them out of
04:42the game.
04:42I love that.
04:42That's the only part of this that I like.
04:44You kick them out of the game and make the other team play with the last man.
04:48But this is what I'm watching for now.
04:51And again, like, just the penalties seem to be so severe.
04:55Like, for the United States, nothing about that said, all right, miss the rest of that match,
05:01be down a guy, and then miss the next one.
05:03Now, I know that it got rectified, but just, it just seems like when I watch it, boy, these,
05:08the penalties just don't, or the crime does not seem to fit the penalty, which is just, it's something to
05:17me.
05:17So the officiating and just the culture of things is just, it's just odd to me.
05:21All right, my weekend's best.
05:24Bruce Thornton, old Tank Thornton.
05:27Listen, he had him a nice little summer league.
05:3022 points, four and a half rebounds, four and a half assists, four steals a game,
05:34including 27 in his first game out, six of 14 from three, 43%.
05:39So shout out to Bruce Thornton.
05:41Now, I know Reed Shepard went off in summer league and I think then played like 11 games the next
05:48year.
05:48But, hey, better that he looked like this than he sucked.
05:54So shout out to Bruce Thornton.
05:56They had him a nice little opening two games in summer league.
05:59Ah, okay.
06:00Yeah, he's going to figure it out.
06:02This year it's going to be fine.
06:03We'll see.
06:04Roll it back with Fred Van Vliet's exploded name.
06:06No, I didn't say that.
06:07And Mac is smack.
06:08It's good for him, man.
06:09Get him a 27 in his first one.
06:10Go ahead, Tank.
06:13I will pat myself on the back.
06:15I love to go to T-Bones on Saturday for karaoke.
06:18If you've never been, you do not know what you're missing.
06:22It's a really cool, low-key, casual dive bar.
06:27They have fun karaoke on Saturday and you just see a very wide range of characters.
06:31And Daddy came to the table and he brought himself a little Scott Stapp voice in his pocket and he
06:39belted out my sacrifice.
06:41And I just enjoy it.
06:42We were celebrating the girlfriend's birthday week.
06:45We wrapped it up.
06:46Oh, this is birthday week celebration.
06:48Birthday week.
06:49And we wrapped it up at T-Bones.
06:50It was a hell of a time.
06:51I love karaoke.
06:52The voice is still a little gone from that.
06:55Oh, I...
06:57Me higher!
06:58I bet Paul gives it everything he's got.
07:01I did.
07:02I bet he does.
07:03I went to karaoke with Tyler one time.
07:05Now, he showed up an hour late on his birthday.
07:09But I did go to...
07:09I was wasted, man.
07:10Yeah, I know you were.
07:12He was wasted but kept telling me he was close.
07:15I didn't even know I was late.
07:16I thought I was perfect.
07:17I know you were.
07:18You texted me.
07:19You were close.
07:19Good state of mind.
07:21I will never forget.
07:22I sat in the parking lot watching the Louisville-Florida State ACC championship game waiting for their arrival.
07:31That's what I said there.
07:33But yeah, I bet you a kill.
07:36Karaoke.
07:36Coming up...
