"Old friend from our Spotify days. Is that you, JJ? Yes, sir, yes, it is. Oh God, it's good to hear your voice again in 2023. Your question is, I'd say your question is a good one. I think it's an important one. But it's one of those where to begin to answer that, we are just moving into the realm of the imagination and speculation. And it's one of those areas that there is so much more information that needs to come out before we can even delve into that reality. I made a show American fiasco a podcast about what I when I released it full enough. It was coming out before the 2018 World Cup and I did it. It's about the 1998 World Cup, which if you don't know, it's the one where the last truly awful, familial Internet scene, the pressing just human interaction awful occurrence occurred between Eric wynalda and John harks and Eric Wendell's wife had an affair with the captain of the team. And one of the things I will say in this moment that shocked me as I interviewed Eric wynalda and it's worth listening to the podcast, the episode again to understand that I learned a lot and I made the show I was making ahead of the 2018 World Cup. It took me 14 months to make this show. And what I wanted to do, the 2018 World Cup, sorry. And what I wanted to do was show to the American audience how fast how far the American football scene on the men's side had come. And then, of course, the men crapped out and didn't qualify and so the statement that I was hoping to make backfired in my face, but one of the big lessons I learned interviewing Ronaldo was that he talked with pain and of the experience. Obviously, as did, by the way, John hawks, with deep, deep regret and human trauma and life lessons learned from it. That was a different set of lessons I learned from that interview. Barrick Ronaldo talked about how wrong it was that John harks was cut for the team for his awful transgression, and I pushed him on there. I said, are you serious? How can you say that? And he said, you do not understand the professional mindset of professional footballers. We are also hyper competitive, his line. Once we step over the white lines, we do not care about anything apart from who is on our side can help us win. And his point was John harks was the best player on the squad. I wanted him on the field with me no matter what he'd done to help us win. And that's all I can say tonight, but I would say I want to, you know, it's hard. The way also the way U.S. soccer have set this up, saying, you know, we need this investigation to go on, that's going to take a long time. And so what they're asking of us, and it's very hard, it's almost impossible to be honest, is the discipline as fans to now wait. For the tablets to come down on high from the legal investigator, but to stay disciplined. I imagine there will be journalists Paul tenorio, some sexual tenon wolves of this world. I imagine that they will be a Jeff Carlisle will be working their sources. It's just so bloody excellent. Working their sources and trying to fill in some of those gaps, nature of boards are vacuum and so the weight as sports fans and as human beings, but right now the only short answer I can give you is I have no idea I feel for him, I do a feel for him. I feel terrible for this kid in this situation. I feel terrible for all of them, honestly. I don't know if he's not as popular as he once was, but I used to love reading his plays as a kid. Arthur Miller plays where just the past comes back into the present and just driven off and by the need for respect and fear of the erasure of the character's identity, something awful is unearthed from the past and thrown back into the light of day. And what it does is it destroys everybody, it creates agony for everybody. And in this movement, it does feel like we're watching a terrible, terrible live reenactment of an Arthur Miller play and it's only paid.

"This World Cup for the U.S. men's national team. Is geo's body language, given everything that this kid has dealt with in the last week, something nothing or everything. Son, unfortunately, everything. Really? We're not, let me play devil's advocate as always. We're not over analyzing this. We're not looking too much at like a few clips of video. So there are players almost every player that can't hide their emotions. They're incapable of doing it. And then there are younger players like Jill Reina, who are still figuring themselves out. Some older players are a little better at trying to do it. But we're all human. You're stuck somewhere in between being excited for your team. But you're angry and you're pissed off. Is it not just not playing? Is it not just that he isn't playing, but what's happened around him not playing? And it's unfortunate. What's happened around him that's put him, I think, in this weird headspace. Yeah. And that's the worst place to be as an athlete. And at a World Cup, your first World Cup. At the biggest moment of your sporting life to date, you're in this headspace. Whether it's your fault or somebody else's fault, what do you think is just or unjust, here you are. You should be excited, your team just pulled up, pulled off a historic achievement with this very young team, and they're celebrating their singing, their dancing, they're taking videos, and you have your headphones on. You want nothing to do with that moment, you want to just melt away. I know the feeling. I know the feeling. It's unfortunate. That the onus has been put on geo, which I think has put Greg berhalter in a very uncomfortable position. One he created with the incongruence is the inconsistencies. But then it was created in a different way and then magnified in a different way. And we have to point out by Eric wynalda, former U.S. men's national team player because we talked about it. Which puts the onus on Greg berhalter and Greg berhalter is being forced to answer questions about that. In the Iran presser and said, if everything else. So in the back of his mind, he must be thinking, what does geo think? And geo must be thinking what does Greg think? So now Gio is in this weird headspace because I still think there's an opportunity for Gio. Indy's knockout rounds to be a hero. There's too much talent in that player to let it go to waste over some silly, stupid, rumor mill, cheese muscle stuff. Yeah. That's a reality. And just to clear that up, Eric wynalda has since effectively recanted almost everything that he said. It makes it I told you here on this show. Eric went all the love's attention and Eric went all the exaggerates. Let me talk to you about geo Rena. Giorno right now. Should have been part of that game. Jill rayna shouldn't have watched the team suffer for almost 18 minutes. There was a role. Sat back. In a defensive shell suffering, nail biting, praying, hoping. That there's not a play, a penalty kick. There's not a play on goal. So you can advance out of this group. In a very controllable game, a game that you had. Jill Reina could be that man to come on anywhere in the field. Midfield up top out wide, get the ball, keep the ball for you. Do something for you. That wasn't what happened. What had happened was Jill reign of frustrated watching this all unfold. Now doubting himself in this headspace. And this to me is confirmation and can't nobody tell me otherwise. I've been there. I've seen players who are there. Everybody who sees Gio Reina, this body language, it should speak

"More beauty take it away. Hey ryan how are you. This is shaun from philadelphia big supporter of the philadelphia union and also a big supporter of the us men's national team. My question has to do with the national team roster and lessen the caning being back on the squad what does mckinney has to do either on the field off the field or both to regain the trust of his manager and a teammate. Thanks for everything you do courage. Oh sure miss philadelphia. Cheese steaks look western mckinney. Will today. we honestly don't know because let's remind ourselves it's not been made public. Exactly what western did say anyone. Prognosticating is really making up and the truth is and this will not shock football as a human beings as sensitive ones device. No doubt a number of players were burnt by west and in the last cycle westerns behavior in the last cycle in. Us soccer most certainly was football. As i've learned this they are incredibly pragmatic human beings. They want to win. And i learned this interview. Eric wynalda from my american fiasco cost the episode. Where john hawkes started original captain. America is mysteriously booted from the team ahead of the nineteen ninety eight world cup after having an affair with elders partner talking to alexi lalas marcelo balboa and to himself about it well this is what they had to say starting with lawless. I was angry. And maybe maybe i'm being flipped. Maybe i'm i'm not being sensitive to eric or anybody else but i would have said. Get over him all right. Let's go let's go win and you guys can fight later. You can hate each other. I don't care. But i want him on my team because he's a good soccer player and i just wanted to win as a professional. I will forgive you a lot as long as you're going to help me win. I think we all thought the same thing. Marcelo balboa harsher was a good player artsy harks deserve to be on that team knowing. Even what you knew now. It doesn't matter it's sad but it's personal life and had nothing to do the way he was playing. It had nothing to do with the chemistry of this team off the field. That's something that harks you went all the had to work out but once you cross that line it goes away and we become a family again and we play because that's what we have to. That's the competitive we. Have we get our job done and we do a well. You see professional football list. They're the athletes and the way they think the way they behave the code. They live their lives by. It's just different to those of us. Who miss civilian. This is everyone else. I thought that if i can handle it. Steve should have been able to handle it and he to this day. I think that that ripping john off our team was ripped the heart out our team. Was it a situation where you like so angry that you couldn't be in the hall now. Look i don't know never. I think i have a unique understanding of that man and okay. So you've learned a lesson about someone's character learned a lesson about but the game always needs to be paramount. You're you're representing your country. We don't have time for that and in a way when you life is crushing off the field this football. The football saves you and anybody. That's ever Gone through something really sometimes. Horrific we've seen. I've had teammates that have lost. Their wife. teammates have lost a child. I've to to be a teammate. In those moments what you what you realize is the game truly is a great escape. And when you're playing the game you you're able to compartmentalize to a certain extent and some of the issues that are going on in your life. Go away because you get to enjoy the game at a whole new level and it is.

"It's yeah flipping back to burritos again. I think a lot of the. Hey in the rage tweeting. It has a lot to do his influenced by what we traded together if it was a just an swr. And that's it. I don't think a lot of people would be this upset about it but again seeing the way he pitched in. La did raise some eyebrows. At least for me. I was a little bit concerned But then again the washington game other than the first. It was terrible. It really wasn't it wasn't that bad it was serviceable i. I was surprised they pulled him. He's only thing so that's not everybody's saying that it's the five inning thing that that to me doesn't make any sense because it's not only a hundred pitches in five innings. He has to be pulled. They went now had. Yeah yeah because of the heat in the exhaustion. They went up and asked if you could give them anymore. He said he can't like he was done after the five innings there so i just wanna make sure you guys had no worries to that point. He was trying to benefit the team. In that point saying i got did point. I forget who came in right after him. He was fine. But then brad hand obviously happened the inning following that and i know if you guys saw i tweeted out but i had the thing from stepbrothers ray when he walks so puke and then i had after the josh bell home. Run the thing family guy where they drink the application and we're just puking everywhere. Let me see if i can find. I wou i forget who came in right. After burritos. One is the saucedo. Wasn't it don't it. i don't remember to pull it up. I just had a box to but anyway back to the burritos thing. Like i said if that's what happened differences absolute worried about it. This guy's been one of the best up and coming pitchers in baseball for the last two three years. Yeah yeah and we have them against or for another year and if people are going to be upset about it who'll man hold another year just to be upset about something sorry to hear about cyber. We agreed when we acquired them is like yes this. He could be as impactful as david price but not. He's not as good as david price. Like david price expense. You got another level. And i think that's what people expected from berea sin. We summed it up. He's very very similar. Performance wise to marcus stroman. He'll go out there and more often than not he'll pitch six maybe even seven innings of quality baseball but then there'll be times at time where he gets absolutely rocked and those were one of the time he got absolutely rocked. South people got calm down. A little bit goes absolutely rocked. Points are going to be in the next year a lot less than we are thinking like. I said there's something to him and he's put it together and some good stretches over the last two years that it's just it's this close to find that xp's and maybe maybe walkers that last piece. i don't know we'll see it was to meza. That came in was okay. I just remember who came in. After i was like ok. Things aren't too bad yet. We can still do this happen. We're back on top of the world and we have to lead four twelve minutes later. It was it was just when all wynalda shit all right..

"With cooper about that before we get off of this and move to the epl preview. Which i know is why most of you are here. Although i'm guessing all of you who loved the sport are interested in this topic on messy. This is unbelievable what we've been watching Real quick on. Ps g So now we're looking at a team that has messy imbaba neymar as a front three They've brought in. I mean and the fact that they've done all this business on free transfers with ramos and messy and wynalda Who there was. There's somebody else do that. I'm forgetting But at any rate this team is insane. And i've i've kind of heard the narrative put out there. Yeah donald trump that's right there goalkeeper. Who won the tournament the euros. I mean my god. It's madness And so like. I will say credit to ps g. Yeah they gotta pay all this money in wages but they've done a lot on free transfers so You know at least they're keeping their spending in check somewhat in that way the thing i've heard now with regards to the upcoming season and moreover so with champions league is that this champions league now almost feels like a foregone conclusion. I would caution people to pump the brakes on that. I don't feel that way. I'm not saying the. Ps g won't be great and they would probably be my probably. They will be my favorite to win it but a front three. Let me ask you right now. Front three of of messy at thirty four Imbaba and neymar imbaba at the beginning of his prime name. All right in the middle of it is that a more intimidating front three. Then the messi neymar suarez front three at barcelona. And then i mean every year and that team had any esta and other greats. And i'm psg do to but it wasn't a foregone conclusion necessarily that that bar team was gonna win every year saw. I'm not willing to say that. This is any kind of foregone conclusion whatsoever. No and sport has a way of of humbling. The mighty and i think it was only a couple of weeks ago. We were talking about the business. That ps were doing signing donna room by the way signing sergio ram also will now be a teammate of lena. Messy yeah unbelievable but We we talked about this team. And you know. I'm not fully convinced about them. Defensively as good as martinez says as experienced as roma's Compound not convinced by you know. There's there's ways to get them and also you might have to get them because look at their record of the last few seasons. Maybe the changes this season but neymars never be one hundred percent fit for them when it came to the business. End of the champions league on imbaba struggled with injury last season two so i would tend to are on the side of caution before i go pilot money on with them. Yeah and there's a lot of players that are gonna be on this team. The back three that you mentioned martinez compan- day rama's i actually do think highly of those players. But we all know that in this sport. Defending is a team concept. It doesn't necessarily just fall to those players at the back. So i just wonder okay. They've put together outrageously talented. You know all time. Great attack-minded team but do they have players. That will buy into any kind of team concept when it comes to defending having to track back. I don't know so like back. Might be very good. But i just wonder is like like could any back three without help from other parts of the field be able to withstand that. Yeah i know. But i'm gonna correct course at a bit on this like someone like variety is top quality professional and. I don't think you could question him. In that. regard there They've got other midfielders as well. That will do that job. I'm i'm just saying that people shouldn't you know. Jump to to conclusions yet. I i still think. It's gonna be fascinating. The on as much as i hit this project. I can't wait for the book that's gonna promoted. Yeah the ex g philosophy. Jj they tweeted the Expected goals per ninety minutes last season for messy. It was point eight. Two neymars was point. Eight four and bought they was point. Eight seven so the x g per ninety minutes was two and a half goals per game. I mean we're talking. We're sitting here talking about like i don't know if they're gonna be able to defend well if they're tina scoring three goals like at least on a nightly basis like how much i don't know how much defending or you're going to have to do all of a sudden all of a sudden mass. He's going to be on a team. Because i i know i'm not not obviously speaking for everyone in the in the you know the spanish speaking world because i knew it's not the case that there's a lot of rail madrid finds out there fans of other teams to i understand that but where i come from a was such a joy to watch messy that you you root for barcelona unless they were against your team you root for them always and now he's going to be on a team who are the debt star. They are the bad guys. And it's going to be It's gonna be fun to root against them. So keep your eyes open for the The interview that we're going to have coming up probably early next week. I would say most likely tuesday. You'll see that. Come out. With simon cooper the author of this book about messy in barcelona. I can't wait. See i have so many questions. It because again the big thing the biggest question that i have for him that you and i can't answer. We can only speculate on is i. Just keep wondering. Jj if barcelona if joan laporta if if he knew all along because you hear these stats about even if messy had volunteered to play the season for free they still would not have been able to do it within the parameters of lolitas rules and it wasn't even close and so like i know barcelona and laporta were saying that you know what we just got back our financial audit. We don't we didn't know until now bs there's just no way. The numbers are not close. Enough where you couldn't have possibly known until hours before messy was supposed to sign this deal. This felt to me like they to me. I'm saying my conspiracy theory. They always knew they always knew that this relationship wasn't gonna continue but they were trying to save face. Remember laporta basically won this election by we always said a vote for laporta was vote for messy to remain at the club so he got into office on that. I think he knew we can't do this. But i can't i can't make it look like i'm the one who's forcing him out now. After saying that. I want him to stay so i think that this was the way that they went about it. That is my opinion. I can't wait to ask simon if what he thinks if if barcelona always knew that this relationship was going to have to end and they just didn't know how to manage it andrew going to stop you there. I could talk forever about that. That particular wrinkle. You're in in this amazing story You're onto something there but we will save it. We all know otherwise. Who's gonna talk about. Brentford you really have a way of transition. Your master of the transition. I'll tell you what. I'm not even going to attempt a transition from this into brentford or whatever. So let's go ahead. Let's take a quick break. We'll we'll gather ourselves. We'll take off our messy. Jerseys will come back. We'll put on our brentford kits full kit f. k. w. brentford..

"Continuing very important conversation about religious trauma and recovery for those who escaped high control religions and did some real damage to them. We're going to take more of your phone calls in just a second. I let me dive into something else. It's been on my mind now. It's interesting dr analysis I've been doing some research on my own for another project. And i was getting into the efficacy of prayers and you know many people come together and i understand the attraction of prayer. You're calling out. You need assurance there may be a calming meditative effect with prayer but there was a study that was done with cardiac patients who were prayed for than some were made aware that they were being prayed for and some didn't know for sure and and they had all these different people sort of segmented out and it was interesting because the people who were being prayed for the cardiac patients and they knew about it actually had more complications. Statistically in it's the researchers were wondering if perhaps they felt a sense of pressure like oh. I'm being prayed for it. I have to get better like they're relying on me. And if i don't get better maybe i failed in my faith and that's an element of prayer quote unquote answered prayer. That we don't talk about a lot but have you navigated that people talk about prayer like it's always a net positive but that's not always the case. Now get you. I mean there are a lot of studies on africa stiff prayer and usually they come out fifty fifty. They don't it. It makes no difference with the treatment group and the control group. Come out about the same. do you get into meditation. I mean i'm. I'm not a buddhist but there's a lot about sort of that. Mindfulness thing centering yourself. The breathing the calming as a someone who gets into you know the science of the brain. Is there merit to meditation alley. Yeah yeah all the things that you can learn from. That are really valuable like i say. I'm not a buddhist. But there's a lot about the buddhist religion that i i kinda dig like the non-magical parts focusing on yourself and you know trying to prioritize your life and don't sweat the small stuff and that's probably something those philosophies that exists outside of buddhism but i always sort of come back to them. I've got kevin kevin. Thanks for waiting on me. Do you have something. Dr when wynalda dang well seven and dr one l. I i wanna thank of you for providing a semblance of community that you spoke to and sorry for the road noise. I actually live on the road. Full-time in van. And i came into being an atheist in the last year and a half and really just more of a comment about what set set about giving yourself permission. In other words. I came to a place i accidentally stumbled onto a video on youtube with hitchens and My goodness water revelation. That was and then You know. I ended up going down that road of giving myself permission to think for myself. And in dr nell touched on Study in history and that was also something that really opened me up to new ideas and new ways of thinking and i just really I'm grateful to you guys. And i also was quite intrigued. The last caller i believe is name was. Nick was a and so am i. And it's been quite a journey there as well so i just wanted to thank you. Well thank you and safe travels and your greatly appreciate. I'll see you next time all right interesting. That religions have all these protective mechanisms. You know you spoke about the fact that don't trust your own mind remember. There's a verse in the bible. That says god uses the foolish things to confound the wise the the lord works in mysterious ways. It's really a convenient mechanism. Because they say it makes perfect sense until it doesn't make sense and then if it doesn't make sense. Well that's just god using the foolish things to confound the wise and you don't trust your brain and we have to lean on faith. I mean it's really a a brilliant to insulate yourself from challenged criticism. Emily thank you so much for calling. You're on with dr. Marlene went l. What do you have forest today. My friend i will be starting. I decided to start therapy. I'd completely came to atheism in two thousand nineteen and then the pandemic you know. I'm just not being able to get into therapy. And i am quite sure that their best. I'll be working with. Does not specialize in kind of leaving the control environments and so my question is how do i build a good therapy goal. That will be effective. I've i've since i've lost that christ soldier mentality. You know everything you do you do for christ. I wanted to work with someone to learn how to build that motivation for gold again. How do you build the motivation or have you clarify what your goals are. How do you clarify what the goals are with someone who may not have the understanding of what actually goes on with fundamentalism. In how everything is focused on christ and and you do everything for that. First of all you might have to educate your therapists. A little bit. And make sure that he or she understands. What a huge transition. This is because often they don't they don't get it. They think it's like giving up on santa claus and they want to just move on or it's like an immature view of the world. And you're just going to grow out of it. There are some really naive attitudes towards this. I'm in therapy world. And i mean that's what we're trying to change trying to help people understand. No this is complete revolution. You're leaving world for another so there's a lot going on. How much pain is involved varies but still it's a huge transition and maybe bigger than all the rest so make sure your your therapist understand that. And if they don't point them to some resources most therapists are willing to do a little homework. They can read my books. They can read the articles on my website that on artists destroyed a syndrome and understand that a lot of people have done and then basically what. You're you're needing to do is re formulate what your life is about. What you want in What kind of person you wanna be without the religion. What kind of a life you want. What your values are and do a lot of that kind of values clarification. So do you know what direction you're going in. some of. It might be remedial in areas..

I think the netherlands on just the the proportion of chances. They have deserved to win the us. They're not winning that game without the errors of george bush in the in the ukrainian gold who the first goal was his fault. He's got a hang onto that ball or clear it properly do something other than split. Straighter genie wine album. Who finished well to be fair. And then i mean he's got a saved header. The third the third. Yeah you've got a good hand to it. All he did was denzel dumfries right who scored the third denzel. Dumfries off off his head. I was when i wound up in the back of the now oh then scored like it was not one of those that i like right away. It was like this is going in. I was kinda surprised that he wasn't able to keep that out. Would have been a great save but one that probably would wanna make. Don't forget at the start of the move that led to that goal. He kicked the ball away like he gave the possession back. So i hit putting it all on the goalkeeper. Didn't have a great night before we move off of this game. I wanted to ask you about jeannie wynalda just because you know in our group in our group preview we did mention you know. We spoke about how he led the netherlands in scoring during the group stages. But we didn't go too deep on that. And then in this first game of the actual tournament itself. He scores again for the netherlands. And it's just interesting now. It seems like it's this. Conversation is starting to build about like. Maybe he is this guy more than what we've seen liverpool where he's never really called into that position he does. The different does a different roles writer. And so i've seen a little bit of did clocked used him the right way the past years. Now it's hard to argue with look at the results so be kind of handling that narrative would be a little bit foolish. But it's thought it was interesting that you always hear about with the dutch specifically the idea of total football and maybe they moved away from that in some ways but maybe there still players like album. Who who are that guy who can play any number of rolls and play them very effectively. I know exactly what you're saying. But he does a different thing for liverpool liverpool's three man midfield for the past three four years andrew. The goals haven't been common for midfield. Their function is much much was much more different to that. It's not saying they don't score. Has henderson scored important goals. He has has Has went out and himself against barcelona. Absolutely he has generally speaking. Their role is just different for liverpool But i i do take your point And people are always going to when you do something international level it all was reflects back on your club form. Which is what we just did there when we were talking about. Papa i'll tell you what. Jj let's take a quick break. When we come back. We'll talk with jani wochit chalkboard of bt sport out of copenhagen about denmark and the latest news pertaining to chris erickson. We've got a mail bag a little bit later on as well. Don't go anywhere we'll be right back..

"You must be crazy. Use a d. o. g. And if you was my man. I would have been kicked you out of my house by now. This is what had happened all right. Thank you for that and welcome back to the show rectal with you. Coast to coast and around the world on the american forces radio network. It's our pleasure to welcome to the show. Sports writer and author jon finkel. He has a new book which is coming out tomorrow. Called nineteen ninety-six reliving. The legend packed dynasty stacked most iconic sports here ever available from diversion. Books john welcome to the show. And it's interesting. Because when i thought of ninety six i asked dominic here too i what pops into your head first and he thought well the olympics. And it really wasn't i know was they're not maybe a signature moment but just kind of an amalgamation like a combination of all these these great athletes. Is that what you're looking at here. Well what What jumped out at me for ninety six Really is like the icons that were active and having an impact that year. So it's it's the year that Kobe bryant and alan iverson both drafted into the nba. It's the year. The tire woods turns pro out if he's going to be going on tour leaving stanford. Wnba announced its existence. The mls has its first season Last dance hall most of the seventy two. Win season culminates in nineteen ninety. Six can't get junior. Does the whole running for president campaign nineteen ninety six muhammad ali. The torch the olympic. Like it just kind of goes on and on. It's kinda signature year. When i look at you know tennis. That was when america kinda still mattered. At wimbledon you with agassi in in san ras and those guys. You take a look at the tennis too right. Well yeah actually interesting. We we the. Us emphasis was at the top of his his game around there. But you know he was always you know from a star. Standpoint wasn't like a mainstream that the the last big star that we've had agassi and he was having a bit of a down year that year but then he comes out of nowhere and wins the gold at the olympics in atlanta. So it's like every big name star you think of when you think of the nineties jordan griffey gretzky. They all had a signature moment That year in addition to like i said the next crop of really stars and even leagues Coming to well. I remember that year. The The raiders had just moved back to oakland the year. Before and i was at the coliseum there are playing the cowboys and Dion sanders Intercepted i think it was hostetler at the time but i just remember dion. Sanders intercepted a long pass. He held the ball high up over his head like the first five yards of his return. Just to say here it is. I mean it was just the most brash thing and even though i was rooting against the cowboys i couldn't help but admire that type of swag during aim and that team of course all the hall of famers we know from you. Know aikman and emmitt smith and michael irvin. I mean they re the cowboys were pretty unbeatable. There for a while. That year was the third championship. They won the superbowl. They went at the beginning of that year. And it was kinda like obviously. We didn't know at the time that i was going to be the last one. They would all win together but it was it was a triplets plus on plus all of the you know there was i think twelve or so hall of famers on that team Added up. and then you had you know barry switzer. You're coaching them. And the way it ended up working out. You can't go with sunday right now. Twenty five years later without being reminded of that team. Dion has subway commercials. And he's all over the place. Aikman is the signature guy. You know with joe buck you know michael irvin's all over the place and his his his broadcasting and things like that know moose's doing tv. So that team. Jimmy johnson on. What the major morning shows like that teams still in our face. Twenty five years later. You know it's interesting you mentioned mls. Because when i worked at the world cup out here in in at stanford and ninety four one of the stipulations fee forgave us was that we had to have our domestic league up and running. Well it took us two more years. After that. And i went to the first ever. Mls game at san jose state and eric wynalda scoring the the final goal in that game and of course that's when they kept the time on the on the clock and they had a shootout at the end but You know now. Mls is expanding so much now. I think they're kind of watering down but I mean it's it's still going though which is good news. Yeah actually have a chapter on that on kind of went out. A sort of the way they portrayed. I remember the time like the last thing they wanted when they finally launches his league because in addition to soccer not having kind of the the us magnetism that habit like the knock on it was always like boring. It's oh soccer's zero right like and the last thing they wanted in that game to have the first game being zero zero tie so when all this goal like in a way it was like a like the collective sigh from the whole. Us stock universities. huge couple. More questions for jon finkel the new book one thousand nine hundred six. The the ken griffey can remind me a little bit about the president thing. I i think i forgot about that. Yes oh griffey. In nine hundred ninety six with you know obviously. A presidential election and nike put out this humongous like month months several months long ad campaign griffey president. He was talking about how we get rid of the designated hitter like they made these ads. Basically as if they were Political ad but it was all about. You know snarky baseball stuff yet. Reggie jackson and george clinton instead of bill clinton and it was all these cool. Thanks you gave up campaign buttons like you went to almost you know. They made this stadium. They were giving these buttons out And they ran it like a political campaign called griffey and ninety six. And i think you know with baseball having sort of drops in the public consciousness below football blow the nba. It's hard for people to remember that in ninety six like there was jordan and it was griffey and everybody else in junior was the signature. Not only baseball athlete but us. He was on par with jordan for kids growing up And so the campaign with a huge success And for for back then. When there was no baseball packages internet really follow any of the stuff. I mean the most time would see griffey with sportscenter highlights and then these commercials you know when i think about college. Football ninety-six was that's when the pac ten at the time still mattered. So what else was going on in college. Football time mattered but they choke a couple. They choke the that one year Because they had the shoe in To get to the national game and they ended up losing. And that's how florida and getting in after losing the florida state. The first time. But like the the the way i positive thing in the book is the reason. Ninety six is so important is because the teams that had dominated that whole decade brassica. Florida and florida state. Basically tacoma i think six of the ten tiles by european national championships. And we're in all the other games That was the year. Like the one of the last eras where there were still the signature name coaches like single name. Coach was bowed dog more spurrier. You had the legendary offense with you. Know tommy fraser Still over in nebraska. You had body bowden with work done. And before that charlie ward and all those guys just like running it up and then you had the fun and gun like easter. You're basically kind of started. What we're leaving last year joe burrow and all these guys like. Danny danny werfel was the first guy to just like. Set the sec on fire with just all these touchdowns and all these throws and always passing yards and so those three teams kinda dueled every year for the championship through the mid nineties and the end of that year After losing in ninety five championship game to finally came back on ninety six what was going on in the movie theaters sports wise.

Concert account believes that were sort of almost forty years. In forty year. Accidents started in october. Nineteen seventy eight and you assigned by factory records initially and it used to be called the ed. Yes yeah and he plays eric's club. There's a funny story when he was signed over to tony balsam factory records in hundred ninety eight. You're going to support joy division and you needed a name for your band. Come with a story because it's so funny. The thing was because we play jerry without you of us but they also knew the and email did this. Qa thing where we would play all electronic stuff because the it was basically a of approach rock band to be honest. And andy. And i wanted to do something electronic purely electronic and we basically because no one wanted to play with us because everyone. I'm using musician friends. Joe take so. We a coal from eric. Saying we've heard about your experimental electronic thing. Come and try out on stage the slot supporting joy division. This is in the october of seventy eight and they said well.

I don't think his parents really liked it very much older titles with and and we thought well we just gotta pick something mad and it doesn't really matter what called because it's only gonna be one gig anyway we'll just pick something that says the was different wynalda punk rock band and we saw customers in the dark and we thought that will do it. Sounds weird you know. It's a great name for a ban. I mean i love md. And i'm an eighty s. Go myself souvenir. that's what. I grew up with all those particular songs and What was it like supporting joy division at the time. Well it was amazing really because they don't just really started themselves and there was about thirty people in the audience. Either the truck julie song but also red frame white light and did you know that the telephone box greenwood road miles call. It was taken away by world council recently and this like a political storm of arctic now the local council could have taken it for pound for pound and the people at the council new the reference of it did a significant amount of it because it was you know we wrote the song red frame white light which was the second single about the phonebox it just got taken away and now all the funds are up in arms though bt as well it will cost you. Three grand maintain the number six three two three. W yeah yeah was also our office our office so because we come from class by neither of us at a phone so that was basically our office so we used to have to take holes at the phone books we used to hang around the phonebox waiting for the phone to ring featuring kicks weeks as well wait for calls back up the phone book the taste jeff any particular stories that sort of stick in your mind about then what was great about those times was that punk it happened and Before punk happened we decided to take electric route. But what was great about the whole punk scene. Was that all these clubs of fanta around england after punk bands but they weren't in a funk bands to fill the night every night and so so these to do alternative nine for anyone. That's doing anything different. You could get in the punk clubs play and if really if it wasn't for punk we probably wouldn't have existed because the word very many supply. These clubs opened up where funds other than punk bands could also exist so Pretty amazing early influences all craft wet. Your music has influences in. That was the kids we heard also bomb late some crossword big single on the radio and was like the first day of the rest of our lives where we heard that went. That is the future of music we want to do that. But the thing was craftwork had all if this incredible technology and because they were quite wealthy writes the wealthy when they began really comes from wealthy family so they could afford all this technology and whereas we were to working with lots from liverpool. He had no money so we had to kind of beg borrow and steal and make i mean my obvious electric's so as to make our early kind of electronic difficult of noise machine i used to get my aunties old radios k. Used to pull them apart and taller off from of them but make noise. We kind of wanted to be craftwork is technology. We were the budget was. We couldn't sound like craft because we have to use all these other instruments so those kind of a good thing. Because i became the mvp but unique sign wasn't in the early days of about say one or two from sounds but now more technology thousands. I mean we. We call it tyranny of choice. Now you can get lost on your possibilities and forget to write it. Some you know you can just go through. All of these simpson got thousands of sounds on now in the same way. A painter palatal is together. We put a palliative sounds together in order to restrict possibilities. We keep writing songs instead of get lots and it was the age of seven at primary school. I meet realize this year. We've known each other for fifty years. Oh my goodness.
