00:00So remember last week we were talking, Scott, about how the Whitecaps lost 5-0.

00:03And I said, I swear to God, Scott, it looked like they were drugged to me.

00:07Well, it turns out they feel that they were.

00:09There's accusations that they were literally poisoned.

00:13Dude, they've got guys, like nine guys, violently ill still.

00:17And they brought their own food.

00:18They drank their own water.

00:19They played in Mexico City like four times, Scott, in the last six months.

00:23And they never had a problem.

00:25Last year in the CONCACAF Champions Cup game, same thing.

00:28Columbus crew went there, and they think they got drugged and poisoned.

00:33Like two years in a row.

00:35Yeah, yeah, two years in a row.

00:37It's not like in my head.

00:38It's two years in a row.

00:39Like the coaches are basically saying, listen, we can't prove it.

00:43So, you know, we lost.

00:45It is what it is.

00:46But we were drugged.

00:47They were like, we were drugged.

00:48And so much so that the nine players, Scott, were seen by the Federal Disease Agency and stuff.

00:54Like they're sick, sick.

00:56Like not like they are like, we don't know what's wrong with you.

00:58Like we think you were poisoned.

01:00Like you don't have.

01:01Like, yeah, you don't have.

01:02Like you're not this sick.

01:04You don't have food poisoning.

01:05You don't have this.

01:05They're like, we don't know what you have.

01:06We think you were poisoned.

01:08Yeah, like we think like we don't know what it is.

01:10Something's wrong with you.

01:11So did they lose on Sunday?

01:14So this is wild.

01:15They lose 5-0.

01:17Dude, half their team is good.

01:19So they're on like the international window, the Whitecaps, right?

01:23So you got a bunch of guys playing all over the world.

01:25The other guys were sick.

01:27They literally played the bottom of the bench.

01:31They were plus 300 underdogs at home.

01:34They wanted to cancel the game.

01:36They beat Seattle Sounders 3-0.

01:39They still won.

01:40Won 3-0, Scott.

01:42I guess it's just, you know, they're going to roll through the MLS, man.

01:45Forget about the CONCACAF, but we can kill everyone in the MLS, evidently.

01:49So, you know, the Club World Cup is coming.

01:54Are they allowed to play in that, or is it just?

01:57No, they didn't qualify.

01:59What?

02:01The Whitecaps didn't qualify for that.

02:03If they would have won the CONCACAF Cup, they would have qualified for the 2029 one.

02:09And this tournament.

02:12Does that do me in four years?

02:14Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

02:15So who cares that we didn't make it?

02:16I'm like, yeah, whatever.

02:17And, like, this FIFA World Cup thing is just a dumb idea.

02:22It's too much.

02:23Like, nobody likes it, Scott.

02:24It's not like you think, like, Chelsea fans are all excited about this.

02:27They're like, this is the first tournament.

02:29I'm going to like it, though.

02:29Isn't it going to be good games?

02:32Well, they're sending their top players.

02:35Like, so it's not like, you know what I mean?

02:36Because at first I'm like, well, is this going to be like the exit?

02:38You know what I mean?

02:39Like when Real Madrid comes and plays against whoever and they play,

02:43they don't really send their top guys here.

02:45They are sending their top players.

02:47So, like, you know, PSG, like, you know, they're all playing.

02:51You know, like Mbappe is going to be here.

02:53And a lot of the top world's players will be playing in this tournament.

02:56But it's very manufactured.

02:59And the thing is, like, we've got the World Cup coming up as well.

03:03There's the Gold Cup.

03:04It's basically just a FIFA cash grab.

03:06And it's also sort of a precursor to the World Cup.

03:09They're in a lot of the same stadiums and stuff.

03:11But it's a disaster.

03:12They haven't sold any tickets for this guy.
