POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Houston Dynamo (Again)

hello and welcome to Happy Foot sadf foot your LFC gateway drug and we are here right after what we can all agree was one of the most exciting games of soccer Major League Soccer has ever seen I'm Travis Helwig I'm Darren Miller the players are done warming up and they should be starting this game any minute now I think yeah I um I need to start by saying this it's time for Steve tundo to leave he didn't Tommy must a second of playing time in a game that should have been all must all the time yeah and I'm I'm at my Breaking Point Doo out officially if we don't see mro uh in El if must doesn't start for El traffico I'm no must goo must go that's what I say there that's the ring cry we should be saying that on the streets look it's great to be here on a Saturday night with a bunch of other people who chose to do this on a Saturday night um it look Vince isn't here it's his birthday everyone say happy birthday uh to Vince so you're not going to get a lot of in-depth soccer analysis on this one Darren what did you see in the game any happy feed or sad feed wait I'm interrupting myself thank you so much Greg gager uh for uh the 99 cent Super Chat you're the best um what did you see any Happy Feet or sad feet uh first Happy Foot to that point uh this is a great game to not have any in-depth soccer analysis on the table uh there was n to be had anyway uh I guess Happy Foot this is this is a little mixed but I know I think on paper I'm supposed to be happy with a tie in this match uh and given our roster situation I'm supposed to be happy with a tie in this match I'm having a hard time doing that that said it felt like the way that we dealt with the fact that this was our lineup and this was our game plan and this was our uh uh formation it it did seem to work and they did hold it together long enough to uh not do anything super inspiring or exciting but like it didn't break it felt like we could win that game at a lot of times right like even though we had what we can all agreee is maybe the worst roster we've fielded since the US Open cup like two years ago um it like the bench I saw someone post that uh uh Martinez was the oldest player oldest field player on the bench at 21 um so we had a bench that was full of people who could not play we saw full game from gerud which we haven't seen yet I don't know I I don't leave that game feeling bad if we lost I wouldn't have left that game feeling bad obviously you want three points we wanted some Revenge but I thought I saw some like pretty decent stuff and I felt like Jude was more involved in this match than he's been involved in any match uh previous and that was nice to see finally yeah I thought had uh he was definitely more involved he had some like really great small moves some great small passes that were impressive and you could kind of tell if it wasn't him it wasn't going to happen that way like he kept plays going that wouldn't have otherwise kept going really great pass to hulings head obviously was called off when uh for Jud being offside but I thought he had a great pass and then later in the game he had a really great pass to Tilman and Tillman outstretched diving header just missed it um it was just nice to see him be more involved making plays yes uh another Happy Foot there are no more regular season matches against Houston let's [ __ ] go baby uh that's as good of a happy foot as you could hope for in a game like this part of the reason why we have this thing with Houston is exactly what we saw like they're just the most boring [ __ ] team like I would rather them have beaten us convincingly and and shown anything worthwhile in I disagree I would not have wanted them to beat us but from like a watching a game like having something worth talking about standpoint there just like I can't think thing that's been worth talking about with them since we've been doing this show there it there would just like oh it's hot in Houston well that's why we don't [ __ ] do the preview episodes anymore the the the uh what was I going to say oh if they beat us we would have been like like oh two years in a row back to back they beat us we can say is it is it a curse you know we could have at least [ __ ] around and called it a curse but now we just have a boring game on a Saturday night I think um I also want to shout out Palencia who I think quietly has maybe become our most important Defender um he is so consistent I mean shano I would still maybe say is our our most important Defender at the moment but Palencia is so solid all the time and um like he doesn't just make those smart plays sometimes he makes big plays um and he like you notice how how important he is back there and I think that um he doesn't get enough credit from the fan base people hated Palencia for a long time I totally agree with you uh yeah I love him uh oh I'm in I'm I'm Greg gager back again with another Super Chat thank you so much uh this time with a comment does Vince have stronger legs than Drew I don't think so I think Drew I mean I've never seen Vince's so I can't say yes or no Greg honestly and and that's me being 100% legit right now could be Vince could have stronger legs on his birthday maybe on his birthday the thighs are are juicy like shuds um another Happy Foot I want to make sure we get to um Romero doing us a solid out there in Columbus giving us our first win against the Columbus Crew by getting a red card he was so for those of you who don't know the backup goalie that we released um a while back Romero was picked up by I believe uh the columbus' second division team was called up because both of their Keepers were uh sent away for international Duty and then they didn't have a backup keeper on the bench Romero got a really stupid red card he did something really dumb um got a stupid red card they didn't have a backup keeper to put in so they put in a field player and Seattle I believe won four to zero against Columbus so here's how the math works we will beat Seattle every match Columbus will beat us every match Seattle will beat Columbus every match and I want us to remember that that's the math of Major League Soccer also I to go back to your point about Palencia I think you can stand you can expand uh what you're saying like all of the players that this season have become reliable have continued to be reliable and maybe only getting even more so reliable I would put Tilman in that same category I would put lce in that same category and this season the commentators were [ __ ] horny for tman they wouldn't stop talking you know what they had a good reason I I would also uh introduce long into this category this season and I'm proud to do it you know we haven't heard Jeff to say anything negative about Aaron long in a while and I I just want to point that out um although he might be serving a match suspension from our last live stream the um I'm trying to I'm just going through some of my other notes some sad feat ordaz getting beat on a fast break right like just fully he's the youngest person out there should not be getting beat on a fast break I think it's just once the ball got to his feet he didn't have uh have the speed anymore saguro with a really bizarre decision to let the ball go out of bounds when we had possession in the 18 of Houston late in the game do you remember that it was off a corner it was clearly us that had headed it and he had the opportunity to stop the ball from going out of bounds and decided uh instead to lie to the ref and try to pretend like we didn't hit it last when we could have had another open Play sigura Always seems so uh iffy once he's out of the the the defense area like once when he's at home he's okay except so sorry to interrupt Darren ephon bonitz says sounds like I made the right decision in choosing to watch wrestling over this game also happy birthday Vince one drink is on me our biggest Super Chat of all time I think maybe it's either this or one of uh Mikey's from uh back when he was on a bender but the uh thank you so much uh Efron I I just want to also say remember we're getting half we're we're splitting this in three yeah we're not gonna so YouTube is getting 40% YouTube gets 40% YouTube get 50 uh 45% I think YouTube gets 45% then of that money the three of us are splitting so I just want you to know Vince is not getting a drink from that he might get half of a drink from that but thank you so much we will get him the money for a drink from you of course um I had a couple of other uh sad feet um atuesta man you that my last to made a big uh stink about getting taken out I get it he wants to play had a pretty decent game I do think if it was the only time I've seen him do that I would not think it's a big deal I've seen him do something like that in a lot of games now at this point and he's sort of annoying me he's got he's got some Martinez energy actually lately yeah uh he also was like he was whining after like the he had just completely thrown water on the fire on the play right before that yeah like they had just gotten out of the box and he was just kind of messing around with it and just kind of killed all the momentum of the play and the the one takeaway from the way he played in that play right before getting taken out was like man he's exhausted and then he gets taken out and it's like what come on man for what give us a reason to keep you in I mean it must be hard to return to the club where you were like so good for so long and know you're not doing it anymore and know that the fans sort of feel that way too right like it's it's got to be hard to come home and be like oh I didn't just suck in Brazil I also suck here um Dam he doesn't suck he's better than me at soccer let say that um uh also another sad foot Louis O'Brien I love I I'm very excited about a lot of what I'm seeing from him I have noticed he turns the ball over quite a bit like some of his passing is is a little weak yeah he does seem to be everywhere you need him to be but then maybe sometimes like it it maybe the fact that he has the ball is because of his good effort but like then I'll just leave it for yeah it's honestly not super different from like um DS when he's in except D we saw a good classic dous foul where he sprinted into someone for no reason um a real Latif blessing uh vow from dwas D is is a real teeth blessing to the team um and then final uh B foot I have before we can just go back to all the great things that happened this game um Jude like I said very happy how involved he was Ryan Hollings had had an open header in the box at the end of that game and Jude really wanted it to be his and he headed it out of the range of Ryan holling head yeah I that maybe was a miscommunication but that was uh that was a rough one especially when it's the same situ like he also is the reason why his pass to his assist to huling said didn't work out last time and I was just like leave it to him again it will work out this time uh try to interrupt Darren nut has given us $435 did the math $1 per host now with Google's cut included you Google there's a chance I guess there's a chance they give us everything on the on the Super Chat we don't really know how the Super Chat thing the Super Chat thing really did just happen I I don't know if maybe they don't take a cut on those or something but that's the cut they I thought they do they take they take any any monetization they're taking a cut yeah I think it's all monetization is is the same and that's what their cut is like across the that's what people are here for is to know the what percentage Google economics yeah my last sad my last sadot was that I uh Vince is the one who would know better than me why this happened but I think dorsy on their side got was getting through us and getting great crosses off all match uh and it was uh pretty frustrating to see that happen it seemed like huling head was on him pretty frequently it seemed like toward the end of the first half holling had decided to just start hitting him which was nice so sorry to interrupt Darren Greg is back again would you guys take talk in One V one defending cooo um you mean would we are you saying in soccer no I would not take T that seems like an easy too easy do you mean like in him I'm trying to figure out what you me defending cooo I would take cooo over most people who are play soccer in the United take most people over talk and I would take cooa over most people yeah I would say that's like you know how you do blind rankings on Tik Tok I would put cooo probably at like one or two and I would put talk easy at 20 um we've had a caller waiting to come on for a little bit I feel bad making him wait uh because he actually knows about soccer and we're here talking about Jeff talk a lot for a man who hasn't been been here and the YouTube split um yeah and the YouTube split um please welcome to the show our good friend lafc Luke on a walk how you doing lafc Luke are you I love that you think that I know about soccer I mean that's great I that's like that's the biggest compliment ever man uh you I mean you know more than us NOS about soccer is as good as it gets on this show look all I gotta say is I we were basically like all right we're gonna lose this game so we'll just go to the bar and watch us lose and we didn't and like you know I'll take it I'll take that's a Happy Foot the that is my happy foot is unlike and now my my husband just got me some ice cream so I'm gonna be going I know handles ice cream in those FES it's delicious what is it called is it the new place yeah handles I've heard all about this new place people are very into it it's very it's very well there's a reason for that because it's good good ice cream um and it's gonna melt because it's [ __ ] hot out yeah um by the way Houston much cooler than LA today yeah this is the first time we've played them where it's a benefit to us to have played in Houston right it was still like 100 degrees look after after they bossed us around last week with most of our starters in there to have six guys out for international play and to basically hold our own and actually like you were saying earlier Travis like looked like we could have won it a few times yeah that's great I'll take it yeah I I don't I feel pretty decent about this game I obviously it's it was boring um we didn't have our best lineup but all that [ __ ] considered um I feel pretty good about uh walking out with z00 I I thought we should have just thrown the game so uh that shows you what I know so sorry to interrupt myself nut again says talk hypotheticals are better than walkable cities talk um yeah I guess so I guess [ __ ] by the way my I have a bone to pick with you guys it's can it's not nut it's Cano the K is silent the K is silent I don't know what you're talking about K is very loud the K is there it's very it's a very loud K wait like a real person and it's also not ephra it's ephen epine I say that come on now I I always get it wrong I just don't even I'm getting a sugar high so you'll excuse me I'm like this this is as graphic as as uh Danny coming on um any other happy feater sad feet Luke I I think it's l tman was [ __ ] amazing love tman look great first start since mid July there is good reason the commentators were loving on him he earned it uh you know sigura probably my saddest foot in a few sort of like Wayward touches I was like what are you doing dude what are you doing yeah um yeah yeah he he also was shooting for a like it it's just a nice reminder that we have Defenders that can score and he's not one of them um but thanks so much for hanging out go enjoy your ice guys I'm myce back soon bye um sorry Travis uh you might have had a great Segway lined up there but uh Lisa Kush gave us a Super Chat she says happy birthday Vince thank you so much uh that's really nice of people that people are doing that for Vince's birthday this makes me so happy um now the chat is just let us know in the chat what your I is LC has really sparked quite the ice cream debate in the chat which is great because there's not much of a game to talk about so dri ice cream for life people talking about sraw sraw is good but sometimes you don't want the salt right sometimes you don't want the salt Thrifty is is uh it's like nostalgic good right you go and you're mainly eating ice thrifties is like it it's a certain typ type of ice cream in a and for a certain circumstance so if that's the thing if that's the circumstance you're in and you want like that also like it's a much better deal than any all these other things that people have throwing at are like 20 bucks for a few scoops of ice cream it's kind of insane so that's like thank you so much for the super again Greg uh thank you for all of them you're a good friend um the oh people are still throwing it in Afters Afters is near me in Highland Park it is quite good um uh oh we got another one W where the hell's that we don't know La is too big La has a lot of ice cream and Scoops Scoops is also near me in Highland Park look we have someone waiting to come on but this is very important that we talk about ice cream um please welcome to the show uh you know very very um a good friend in the chat always please welcome tiny Donuts tiny Donuts great to see you hey hey how's it going um welcome to the show thank you nice to see you Travis stepped out last week just prior Darren nice to see you as well always good to see you thank you for joining in with your handle on the uh the dessert chat oh yeah I I'm a great topping I'm a topping for ice cream exactly yeah uh Happy Happy Peter sver oh yeah go ahead oh yeah no uh I had listed it just right as you said it but sergy Palencia is yeah I don't know I mean this is just like to me this is thorington finding these guys and some of these like Barcelona products like Ilia I mean it's just like these guys know I don't know they're they're helping our team a lot and I felt like tonight they were goofing on everyone being old but I was like young team does not get a Zer Z tonight it was like yeah true smart play like that made a big big difference you know and I I think we all can agree 37 anything older not that old that's I feel like really right before the prime of your life I would say I think you're totally right you're totally right and I mean with I mean if we send these guys to Turkey in the in the off season to just fill in the spots that are showing we're good to go you know yeah know Palencia I agree with you I just feel like Palencia has sort of gone onto the radar for our team for a long time people didn't like him last season and I think they're reluctant to admit that they were wrong about him but pen is just consistent um for our team and and in ways that I think I I don't see other Defenders making some of those more athletic plays that he makes I think it was someone just noted on Richard here it was like there's so much love for cheeky you know with with the big moments that it was just like and I think it's very similar to what you're describing to like how we were hesitant to love Sanchez after losing to Testa because they played a similar role it was like oh okay how you know now we're bringing this guy and so yeah yeah and sad foot I mean I don't you know nothing sadly sad Latif blessing can't just be on our team you know hang around I would love for him to like there there should be like a Vibes uh DP slot where just like a guy who brings yeah that's good no 100% 100% And if we if we could move sigura to loved you like always been a great guy but um you know head to the parking lot um is he the longest 10e player at this point he's been on the team for so long I think so I mean I mean he been injured for two of those Seasons yeah he probably you know my guess is he arrived right before Vela in the parking lot that day and then they're just like well we can't get rid of so yeah but yeah no I mean uh I I was like not a great game to watch but I was like very pleased with this game just settling down giving J even just giving Jude time to play and kind of own the team I'm sure like out there it was like okay find him find him yeah and that's good you know you want him to like like be confident because it's going to be hard for the team to figure out do we pass to Denny do we pass to J you know what do we do yeah because we're not in pra you know I'm not at the practice field you know as much as I'd love to be I've set up cameras and I think I have some notes and it's all they all revolve around Tommy mustow um oh yeah why isn't Hawaii in there where's Hawaii we need him yeah we need him King's Hawaiian the king himself absolutely the yeah no he is he is that sweet role you know what I mean we need him out there um but anyways well y'all great show as always so I'm happy to pop in but uh thanks for thanks for coming by always come back yeah appreciate you thanks guys see you in the chat um look there's some people in the chat right now arguing that jerud is washed and I just want to say I think you're wrong I think we haven't figured out how to play with him yet um I want to remind everyone it took Kai Kamara a long [ __ ] time to get his rhythm with our team and for us to learn how he plays and I think I mean jerud seems like he really wants it and he played 90 for the first time today he's got the he's finally got the legs I don't know I just feel like um I've been worried when we didn't get Jude involved and Jude felt very involved in today's game I don't know how you feel about that d yeah I think we're just maybe it's happening slower slower than people would like and I get it but this is exactly what's going to happen he's going to ramp up he's still ramping up this was a good step in the right direction just like you said he's gonna start to catch fire I'm not worried at all it's Jude yeah he's I mean a wash Jude maybe it's just semantics aash Jud is probably still one of the best players in the league there's not a single team that would be excited to see him come on the pit he also just scored a [ __ ] ton of goals for AC Milan I think he was the he scored the fourth most goals in Sera obviously he had better people Distributing to him yeah maybe he's watched as of like the last couple months yeah the plane he got really tired on the plane over um we did have a super chat again my sister and brother-in-law are thinking of coming from I didn't say the name this time because now I'm in Paris epen uh my sister and brother-in-law are thinking of coming from Fresno to watch from ra traffic go should I let them I believe they came to the Houston game yes and we remember how that went uh so I don't know did we send those stickers to them yet he's asking no I I gotta get him in the mail that's on my that's on me it's not Travis's fault it's my fault uh so you're asking from like a like a JuJu perspective from a curse perspective yeah that's a great question and I think we should get more questions like this on the show I think not that we should be in any place of authority to judge this but I think this is an important type of discussion to just give you a a sense of what type of game this is the person talking to the media right now for our team is Nathan oraz we have Nathan oraz doing the postgame interview and honestly I think I want him shirtless I want him like cursing at it's a rotated postgame pressor roster um we had some other comments I wanted to get to while we were chatting um I don't remember what they Vargas is in the chat CH saying he wants to come on I've posted the link in the chat I don't know what to tell you come on we'd love to have you the oh Lindsay says it was nice to see jarud directing players to play to his feet in our defensive half we couldn't be a transition team with our Personnel so we had to play to feat more from the back um smarter take than I have just about to say I thought we said there was not gonna be any actual soccer announcement on the show today um I'm I'm uncomfortable I during tiny Donuts I was remarking that it's so silly that we've gotten people to say Happy Foot and sad foot and it like isn't weird it's like and my sad foot is this like what the [ __ ] does that mean just created a thing it's cool thank you guys for playing along we're happy um also oh I do have a happy foot at one point they showed a man in the Houston stands with a popcorn bucket on his head uh and that was a big a big Happy Foot for me was popcorn bucket head did we just decide that it's okay to come down from Fresno or not did we did we reach a verdict on that oh I um I would say yes I think they should come I would say yes they should come they should come yeah also it is a let's talk about traffico for a second it is we've already won the traffico series uh this year right we've won two of the three games that takes a little bit of the pressure off um we beat them at the Rose Ball which was technically a home game for them so we already won away um the the reason this game matters is it could decide the West right it could decide who gets home field advantage if there's a traffico in the playoffs and that's a pretty big um I would much rather play at bimo than I would want to play uh in Carson but outside of that I don't we've had their number all season if we lose this game it I'll be mad because it's a bad run of games but I don't think I don't know what are are you stressing about this traffico I I I haven't really thought about it because I Lo and then the tie like yes I think what what the point that you're proving is important but I think it's really just speaking to like the banter of it all and the bragging rights of it all more so sorry to interrupt Daren nut says I hereby nominate Lindsay for the role of Vince thank you nut uh yeah she knows more than both of us so she could be Vince this episode yeah thank you for the Super Chat uh go go ahead uh I think for like the bragging rates of it and like the overall rivalry of it then I agree some of the pressure sweeping them would be huge that would be cool oh for sure I agree that some of the pressure is taken off uh and some I'm like a little bit n less nervous about that but I think the circumstances of the Season call for us to be very uh nervous about not I don't know if nervous is the right word but like this is a huge match now like we just lost one then tied one we're still fighting for them for the chop of the West uh I am the only one left but uh I still feel like supporter Shield is not uh completely dead because you're delusional yeah but Columbus might even be out of the race now I don't think it's a good situation to be in to uh be to not have won three matches in a row after leagues cup and then figure out what to do next and the last one's against Galaxy like that that would be a terrible situation I agree that it would be yeah I guess I'm scared now I wasn't scared when I asked the question and now I'm scared about the game you're thank you D you're welcome You' filled my um already anxious body with more anxiety um I just want to point out this comment from burnt to death I love when Hao safo fills us up with their delicious podcasts you know we got our own bot I I it's not sexual on paper right but the vibe the vibe is horny right there's and also good way a way it's just something something is off there but feel like respectfully horny yes there's something it's it's nice but like the words delicious and fill up in the same sentence you're gonna get a vibe from it so burn to death we appreciate the sentiment it could be a reference to the beer I usually drink what which is I usually drink a beer that's called delicious and it says delicious on the can that often ends up on screen if we have fans that are that dedicated that they're making that joke and think we would get it there's no possible way I take a lot of [ __ ] in the chat for always drinking that beer um do you yeah people are saying like how come you haven't gotten a sponsor yet wa honestly we just didn't do the work aie a pizza and Glendale offered to do it and I forgot to follow up so everyone go eat it I think we have both eaten there since then at least once it's like you don't want to business relationship with a place you like you want a business relation with a place you don't [Music] like uh there's zero good ice cream in Carson yeah it's all got um what toxic chemicals in it oh we got to come up with a segment for that Herbal Life ice cream um look respectfully horn respectfully horned there it is um front of the foot can we do a live match preview for o traffico oh we weren't planning on it well I would love to know why why well I yeah people seem to like the live match preview when we did it but I'm curious what are you like what are you looking for we only hear feedback from people who are on the live stream the people who listen can't tell us what they think hey if you listen uh throw a review up on Spotify or apple podcast or something we ask these people to do enough oh I don't mean like for to help us I mean to give us like oh we will use the feedback but don't make sure it's five stars of course don't don't we're for us I guess there's no way to do it um I don't know if I'm going to be able to watch the traffic okay so sorry to interrupt to you Travis uh we got another Super Chat from Alberto Lopez oh thank you I as he says I asked chy T who unhappy foot s foot is the best and it said Darren is analytical and Travis is the comedy the combo makes them both great a agree AE this well what I kind did you have to tell them what our names were or was it able to pull our name is Chap GPT scraping our show I mean it might BEP scraping like show descriptions or something um well thank you for the Super Chat first of all I would say that um neither one of us are funny and we're both annoying I would say that's the style of this podcast I think we're bothal we're both here to tea up [Laughter] Vince um and we're golfing with te's and no balls tonight so here here is why I don't think I'm going to be able to watch El traffico and it's a good I might still be able to do it the Emmys are Sunday and my wife created a show that got nominated by a B for a bunch of Emmys and the big Emmy party is the night before and that's Saturday night when Al trafico is and wow I'm a supportive husband I will be there as her bagman as she talks to important people and I stand a few feet behind her and and uh afterward she Whispers to me why the person's important and I'm like great thank you I'll get her drinks uh so I great I think that's fantastic I would but I did while I was watching that game I did have the impulse of like should I just go to El traffico instead I I I would would love to know if anyone watching or listening can band together and drum up a pressure to rival that of uh a spouse uh yeah and she's real mean she's real mean um yeah every uh I don't think watch the Emmys and roof for hacks is what I'll say it would make my life better she's not mean I'm joking I'm joking uh that's says Travis Darren travin uh has Vince ever been in that position to do that he did storylines when my dad was sick but I don't know if we established the Daren Vince D you weren't you weren't there so oh you're right next time my dad gets sick I won't I I'll ignore him and stay on the uh Richard Martinez says El traffico is more important uh uh CH chbt didn't mention Vince good question I think I mean Vince came on halfway through last season so there's a world in which he scraped the bio information of the podcast he I just gender chat gbt um he's a man that's why he's wrong all the time am I right see the comedy that is the comedy yep and I yep and I'm I I I analyzed the the the Dilemma of obligation that you had in your life for the party it's not super far off uh I am a good tropy I love being a trophy husband there's nothing better than being I I do the laundry it's great um yeah I don't know it it's I probably will find a way to watch the game at the emy's party though I might not even go to the Em's party there's a world in which I'll be watching maybe there's a way for the emy's party to be El traffico you have any connections to anyone who can help make this happen and you're you think Jeremy Allen White's going to Carson no way the cast of the Bears going to the going to car it's a watch party emy's party watch party uh yeah the bear is pro the bear do you guys think the bear is a comedy let us know in the chat I person have no opinion uh that uh that that conversation has a has had a lot of legs I have heard that being discussed an unbelievable amount of times in the last few years I I yeah I am not saying anything else the comedy drama yeah I guess so it makes me the episodes I've seen make me very anxious and then I have to go why is this show so intense when it's just about making a sandwich like it's about the seriousness so much more than that now now the sandwich is just a window on the side now it's about making home meals oh he gentrified the sandwich shop he gingeri the sandwich we knew that's what he would do right when he when he came in we knew he was gonna do that that wholesome sandwich um uh yes chef yes chef uh no good ice cream on the bear I the show is the anti-ed lasso and I will say my wife Travis up in a knot has had to had to compete against two Juggernaut Juggernaut see I can't say any word right Juggernaut shows Ted lasso and the bear and so it's it is tough when you have to face Ted lasso the most Pleasant show on the air and the bear the scariest comedy ever read that's true P seems like a no Briner um yeah what else is there uh Steve Clark a lot of Steve Clark discourse in the chat tonight uh which is a great thing as always I yeah Steve Clark I've said before he looks like he sells your drugs and the new Steve Clark I would say if he sells you drugs you should test it for fentanyl 100% the drugs that Steve Clark sells are cut with something and I'm I want to be clear about allegedly we have a caller Brian Brian welcome to the show any Happy Feet or sad feet um can you hear me okay we can hear you loud and clear Brian thanks for coming on um long time listener first time caller so excited you're here was it was a very boring game I'll say my two happy foots are he's been doing it for a while but I haven't commented on it and that's Ila has been wearing like a headband for like a month or two now and he reminds me of snake from the Metal Gear Solid games 100% agree 100% agree Solid Snake vibes okay second Happy Foot was just seeing blessing go up to uh Doo after the game a little hug yeah yep that was it yeah I I think the I thank you for pointing out the headband because we haven't talked about this enough pretty big change from the braids he had at the beginning of the season do ever again yeah he but I do think he he wears it well and it makes me it makes him seem scarier I would say and laa seems so sweet it's nice when he seems scary that's a point that's a good point I he has done the headband in previous Seasons before it it is a like it's a thing we knew he had in his bedroom somewhere but he's almost doing it like with it he it looks it looks more um scary I [Music] I think I think it's the five o' Shadow too with the headband the five o'cl Shadow 100% it completes the the Snake look yeah he's a little more grizzled he's seen a few more things yeah he definitely has a gun on him he definitely has a gun on it the Brian before we let you go an important question what's your favorite ice cream in Los Angeles I was hoping you asked okay you should already know this one because it's in Highland Park it's uh magpies magpies is great like soft serve pies basically and it's awesome that yeah those those like um yeah the soft sered pies are so [ __ ] good sometimes I'll order that delivery it's so good um and they have uh they have like corn ice cream too there that's really good great great pick thank you love it all right Brian thanks for calling please call back all right we do thanks for joining us he's right I didn't make the connection to Solid Snake but it I I watched a lot of metal gear solid as a kid I didn't play it but my friend a lot ofal my friend I think his name was Jeremy Jeremy Tierney I would go to his house because he had a PlayStation and I just had an N64 and I would watch him play Metal Gear Solid um he was good Jeremy TIY was good at met Metal Gear metal I I can't remember Metal Gear Solid I'm having a hard time saying it too actually uh I can't remember I can't picture the game for some reason all I think about is Twisted Metal oh Twisted medal I did play that's more up my alley that's like a rocket League that's a fortnite twisted medal is like a game anyone could play and participate in but I Metal Gear was too you had to be good at video games to be good at metal gear and I'm not I was good at sports games and that was about it if there was a gun involved I was not good at it I just I downloaded Fifa today I didn't know they changed the name of FIFA it's fc24 now yeah cuz they lost the license the the the name rides or something or tried to take it away and they were like all right fine the game's established enough people are still going to buy it yeah I did yeah it worked um it also made my I said my favorite team's lafc and then they were like do you want to play as lafc I'm like of course not I play as I want to play as a like a good team damn see that's the difference that's really what chat gbt if you're listening that's the difference between us I will play as the team I root for every time oh I mean knowing it's the wrong choice to make wanted to start like a man go ahead I was a guy stuck playing my friends who were playing as like Barcelona in their Heyday and I was like I'm the revolution as a little kid I want to play Taylor twellman [Laughter] yeah but I yeah meanwhile like the original Ronaldo is ding fat Ronaldo before he was fat um Messi oh a lot of good video game chat going on uh corn ice cream yeah it's delicious Miss bones I like that you changed your name too from Amanda to miss bones embracing the nickname beautiful happy to happy to be here uh or happy you're here um rocket League the best game of the last decade I do think rocket league is up there right every time I play it it's fun Darren have you played no you had to quit video games because you quit video games yeah I was I was addicted to what was then called fifah uh so is this like is this hard for you is this like when a when like a drug addict sees someone do cocaine I don't know how to say this in a way that comes off as sincere as I mean it yes 100% I think you spend long enough you could dip your toe back in right you can follow the wagon a little bit nope it's not gonna work it's not gonna work I want I the amount the amount that I want to play is like oh to me a red flag my wife has encouraged me many times to to play again I'm like I don't know if it's a good idea she wants a good reason to divorce you that's she's like I need I need something that'll work law yeah I I want this stuff this needs to be your fault it was actually uh yon friend of the foot he hasn't been on the show for a while but I would play with Yoni and our friend KK yeah y really gave up us I used Blast and then left yeah Yoni get back on the show the uh yeah you and Yoni would live together and you just played FIFA all day is that what you were saying yeah uh him and our friend uh Kirk who's been on the show a couple times and uh my wife uh we all lived together uh when we first mov to New York College yeah when we first moved to New York after college uh and our our bedrooms surrounded the living room in a way that was like you just like wake up open the door walk into the living room and there's FIFA and that then you play until you go back to bed you could either in that apartment you could either be in bed or play FIFA and those or you could do Salvia on the roof those are the that's the period of time neighbors we had we had real weird Neighbors in that building what happened at the roof yeah there's a lot of stories we can get into that that's a patreon only episode I feel like I don't want to bore everyone with that but there's a lot I can say about that that era of time uh um I mean within the MLS you should probably play as lafc Pedro I agree and I would if I played MLS and what I was gonna say is if I I wanted to do like a new career or whatever and so I wanted to do it with the best teams but if it was like an MLs season of course I would play with lafc or Chas USA because we all know that's what we started yes oh maybe that's honestly uh maybe that should be our second segment for the for El traffico I have a rant long enough for an entire segment about what is frustrating about that whole shivas thing maybe you should just be pet peeves about the disc the the banter between us and other and Galaxy it'll just be seen as like as a complaining yeah complaining I mean we've said it before the Chas thing doesn't bother me because I didn't follow the league or the team so I'm like it doesn't have any effect on me it bothers me be the reason it bothers me is because they think it bothers like I don't understand why you think it's an insult like no I just didn't want to follow a team to another team like what do you think you're saying it's also been long enough where we could be like yeah of course it was like sort of a Rebrand but the team's much better now and we keep beating you right like if if we are Chivas USA we're Chas USA is better than the Galaxy for the last seven years so it's not an insult anymore I just don't even understand yeah I I don't think it I don't care whether I don't understand why if being a Rebrand or not a Rebrand is even an issue like who gives it like what how is it consequential in any way I guess the point though is that all none of the [ __ ] is consequential right like it if you break it down why are we watching sports right oh no we went too far oh no we've lost Mike gray the B's he's agreeing with us oh oh oh I thought com what you said I'm commenting on what you said saying we went too far now Sports don't matter anymore um people are pointing out that I'm wrong we have no connection to Chie USA Chief USA was racist I don't know that I look I I the only reason it doesn't bother me is because I legit didn't follow the league lafc became a team and I followed the league and that's what [ __ ] happened so like whatever B past baggage there is with like I think there's like one or two supporter groups that switched over um it just doesn't affect me uh I wish that they hurt my feelings more because I like feeling bad I have a I have a bit of a masochistic streak Darren knows this we all do Mike gray not know this always so happy to see you here Mike Mike's a great journalist uh for soccer in Los Angeles go follow him on all the platforms he's a great guy one of people covering both teams really like well and thoroughly and without it being yeah without it being like taking a great hair great hair as well great hair I mean we we High we put a high value onr hair on this show as as we know that's the one sponsorship we had right um yeah right the the hairloss supplement yeah oh no it wasn't a supplement it was um topic which is like the it's like it's like dust you put in your hair that makes your hair your bald spot go away uh the fact that we've gotten 50 minutes out of this game is wild we I at this point I feel like we've we had more meat on the bone on the show than the game did um almost as much [ __ ] the Sharpie is begging to be used I I hold this every time we do it and I don't know why it's just here it brings me Comfort some other stuff like you're about to like you're about to do something like on a whiteboard or something not that you can do that with a sharpie but it gives you a certain amount of like sports uh podcast host Authority I think there is something I'm makes me feel confident right I feel conf whereas if I'm like this that feels like I'm bored here I am I'm David Letterman I'm gonna throw it at the camera oh that's good yeah yeah did he do that yeah that he was going through the pencil but yeah you guys like David Letterman in the chat yeah tell us what you think about David Letterman what do you think about the evolution of late night comedy um I want in-depth on the tapestry have we shown the full tapestry the the reason I liked this tapestry is that it's a man being run away the dog is taking control of the situation oh I never saw this part of it and then there's a guy here that's like doing I don't know what this guy's up it's a weird thing I I do want to note for everyone that uh Travis I correct me if I'm wrong had this tapestry before this exact kind of tapestry was the uh what you would see in the beginning of uh White Lotus right oh yeah you're right it is yes I've had this for a while I just is like that kind of tapestry increasingly more and more [ __ ] up as the opening sequence continue Mike White a huge listener to the show of course Mike White front of the foot um yeah I don't know man this show lindsy Moss ratio of the show has become 20% soccer 80% non soccer pretty accurate to say we saw the game tonight too I look when Vince is not here what do you want from us you want us to pretend like we understood what was happening no neither team scored Lindsay what a Vince comment oh Vince would have loved it NE team scored he would have been like all over it honestly the fact that we all said it was boring he would have been like I disagree zero zero it's like they did it for his birthday I classic z z Vince way it's a gift it's a gift to Vince on his birthday yeah I I love Vince because he when he's a technical chess match as he's explaining what's happening in the game he knows how people are going to be mean to him on Twitter and responds to them ahead of time he's like so far ahead of people being mean to him on and he's right both in the point that he makes and the response that he anticipates but he's paid by the league and we need to remember that he's being paid of course aill yeah he is he vany sartini propaganda Steve trelo um Can someone say XG for Vince XG XG XG uh lfc's XG tonight was uh a number now Daniel I gotta stop you right here with this comment right Letterman sucked balls and Conan was king um now I love Conan O'Brien I I was very upset when The Tonight Show was taken away from him Conan O'Brien would say that he couldn't have done what he did okay we don't that we'll talk about it later Daniel the uh Joey AF says foot mob has 08 uh for their expected goals and ours were 0. 25 that didn't feel that doesn't feel right I know that they had possession but I feel like we had more dangerous chances than they had yeah uh they they had a few non-dangerous chances that must have gotten factored into that now Joey great Point wasn't JN Stewart the one who threw the Sharpie Maybe took it from Letterman Letterman did it first and then John Stewart would throw it at the camera um I would say letter were both King uh and Letterman was King first and conen was the was suc John St did something different John St does something or did something different I don't John Carson was the original King sure yeah we all know the basic history of late night we don't need to do this and we don't need to dive into what was or wasn't bad about what David Letterman did in his personal life but as a host he's a great no we should we yeah let's get into it so there was a mattress I want bail um I what are we doing I mean you guys are still hanging out like yeah uh what do people want we're down to talk about anything we're having fun we're having fun and we will keep doing this as long as you're also having fun I have a couple more we will have fun regardless and that's the problem that's what we're trying to avoid is because we will have fun in a situation where you stop having fun I I have some notes that I didn't say from the game and I want to just point it out whoa uh no sorry we're past the expiration um but they're they're stupid notes does that helpful yep we're good one Houston's to Orange we've said it before yep those jerseys are too orange tone it down a little bit um totally agree wait hold on let's real quick so they're at about a 10 or 11 they should be at what like a even like an eight is fine I think I guess the problem with orange is that when you dull it down it looks so much worse like that orange does pop but it's kind of hard to watch right it was hard to see in person and it's hard to watch on TV it sort of burns your eyes it's like that it's the reason traffic cones are that color right like you see them uh Texas Texas can do a good or the right orange where it's like not too light but not yeah the Astros right Astros is like that's about as high as you can take it I think it being too much it's not this radiant Texas University is it UT or Texas UT UT UT then you got Astros and then I think you've got like a creamsicle situation Tennessee that's all good too uh yeah I Jay Leno is a snake I agree look uh wait who's saying who's saying Lindsay saying now now this is their our fault like oh that because we're do we're not talking about soccer and we're blaming it on them the oh did we blame it on them we we were saying you guys here oh yeah this is all our fault um it's our fault yeah I there was a brief moment where um a player on Houston was on the ground bleeding and he was on the ground bleeding for a while and it was clear it wasn't a bad injury but he was bleeding from his head and I just want to say if you're an announcer and that's happening please stop laughing about whatever you're laughing about it was just so bizarre for a while to hear these two guys like joking around and then there's just like blood on the side of this guy's face uh that's true I'm a man who believes in respect uh and most people know that about me there are there are things here we go this country used to mean something Dar oh God and um and then I have one last note which is that um this game was a scrimmage this wasn't a real game it was a scrim that's the problem with the orange it was pennies yeah they were practice vests um that's what it was we have one final prompt that I think we need to get to and it's from j140 that's right I know exactly what you're talking about and I'm putting it right up on the screen so okay this one's pretty to we're not talking about the location of their Stadium right we're talking about the city itself how walk for those listening and not watching he says rank each MLS franchise by city walkability now this is a good second segment for a preview episode but we're just going to blow it now so I'm going to pull up I'm going to pull up uh the what team says we used to be a proper country just kidding we're going back to MLS walkability uh so let's just do the Western Conference because there's too many no but they all the walkable cities are on the East Coast well let's do top five because we can't do 30 [ __ ] teams and most cities are not walkable in America Darren what would you say is the most walkable interrup you Travis uh Greg ganger again with the Super Chat says can Vince come up with a game model to stop Messi oh wow Hard left turn here H I guess we have to answer it it's a super chat it's a super chat okay I guess we're gonna talk about soccer here we go um yeah he wait no there's a way out yes Vince could come up with that thanks for asking Greg that's great oh yeah I agree so I think getting back to what's most important uh oh let's find that comment GS franchise by city walkability let me bring up it's got to be New York right New York's got to be number one we're not talking about where the stadium is we're talking about the city itself New York is the most walkable city in America most people take public transit it's the only city in America where the majority of people take public transit it's a the more it's the most populous city and the most dense city um it's got to be number one right for sure for sure do we want to specify the team uh yeah nyfc because the Red Bulls are in Jersey great uh let me pull up the I'm gonna pull up the table here we're doing this number two what Chicago Washington DC yeah DC is pretty walkable DC is small enough that you could call it walkable right yeah I think we should also put like a weight on this I'm looking at the supporter Shield race I think that's a good way to put a weight on like we should rank teams that are higher up in the supporter Shield race should be talked about first year I haven't been to Vancouver but I believe it is pretty walkable someone uh correct me in the chat if that's wrong Chicago for sure but they're pretty far down there Portland's walkable that's what Scott says in the chat I agree bur says Miami Miami is not a walkable City Miami the for they play in like an hour away I know that we said not the stadium but like Miami is I've been stuck in traffic a lot in Miami you I say Miami does a thing that a lot of cities do which is just like there's a little part of the city that everyone that the city is like here's the walkable part of the city the city's not walkable but this area is for walking I would say we can we can cut out everyone on the west except for Seattle Portland and Denver right I feel like we could we could make an argument for those cities then um just to remind everyone this is an lafc podcast yeah um Austin is walkable Austin no it's not no it's not there's parts of Austin that are walkable like the Sixth Street area good point where you live you would never walk from where you live to a bar in Austin you just wouldn't um La is not walkable at all we're we're not going to entertain that it is um what's number two Chicago it's got to be Chicago right yeah Chicago's pretty walkable although there's a lot of suburbs people live in the suburbs of Chicago same with Washington I feel like Washington maybe is DC is is maybe number Chicago in that okay we'll go with Chicago I think we got to go DC Philly or Portland for for four or for three oh Philly Philly's got to be yeah I would say Philly you think yeah do people take public transit in in Philly right SEPTA sepa is a thing yeah okay is that it's called SEPTA is the name of their yeah it's not a great name that's bad oh Boston do we count New England as Boston uh okay I I'll do the tight rope walk Travis just give me a little bit of leeway here Boston is very walkable uh New England is not uh they play in Foxboro which is like one of the least walkable parts of the country like we've said you can walk from your car to the stadium and it's not a good it's a long walk uh also like a notoriously terrible traffic getting to that Stadium it's like a two-lane Street even though it's only used for tens of thousands of cars at a time so yeah I I would give Boston's very walkable New England is not especially given that they're called New England and they're playing Fox bro that that diplomatic enough yeah so we're not going to count Boston the I think we go I mean we both lived in DC should we just give it say born and raised in Vancouver it's super walkable I didn't even think about Vancouver I just said it earlier I didn't think about it I don't listen when you talk guys this is chat gbt are you listening are you taking notes on the differences between us um I've never been to Vancouver so I feel like I can't give a good have you been to Van Miss bones is Canadian people the lore around Miss bones is growing the legend of Miss
