We finish off a great week in Tahoe with our chill week finale and the vibes are high (-). Gregg Berhalter is out as USMNT head coach and soccer has been saved (-). Team USA plays Canada and Jaylen Brown thinks Nike is keeping him off the team (-). We answer the dumbest hypothetical and Paul Skenes gets pulled during a no hitter (-). Mt Rushmore of sandwiches (-). Blake Griffin and Josh Allen join the show together as we create a new bromance, what it takes to win a title, the last name game and tons more (-). We finish with Fire Fest of the week because we had the best week ever (-).

USA soccer is back and will win the World Cup now that Gregg Berhalter is fired

Greg Berhalter has been fired yet again. We did it guys. Congratulations. USA soccer is back on the map. We're so back now. We're gonna win a World Cup.

While Berhalter was fired, the USMNT did not immediately win a World Cup; the next one is in 2026.

The USMNT will never be great until the players care enough to fight fans in the stands

The United States will never be great at soccer until our players care enough to go into the stands and fight people from other countries. It just means more. That somehow a Malice at the Palace situation... these guys just fucking care about soccer.

The take is inherently subjective as it links greatness to fan-fighting, which isn't a standard metric.

Nike is likely behind Jalen Brown and Kyrie Irving being left off Team USA

And I do think there is probably some truth to the Nike thing where Kyrie is also, you know, if Jalen Brown's a snub, Kyrie's a snub... They're both very outspoken against Nike. Coincidence? Probably not. I think not.

While Jalen Brown himself suggested this, USAB managing director Grant Hill denied it. It remains an unproven conspiracy.

Kyrie Irving and Jalen Brown are clearly better basketball players than Derrick White

If we're talking on pure talent, Kyrie and Jalen Brown are better than Derrick White.

Pure talent is subjective, though individual accolades generally favor Brown and Irving.

Taking $30,000 is better than playing one week in the MLB

Would you rather get handed 30 K right now or play a week in the big leagues? 30 k all day... If you put me on an MLB team for a week, I think it'd be the most miserable week of your life. Every single play just being a disaster for you.

This is a preference-based hypothetical.

A Chicken Club sandwich is much better than a Turkey Club

I'm gonna go with chicken club. Much better than a Turkey club. Oh, much better.

Preference for meat types in clubs is subjective.

Pimento cheese is an overrated sandwich filling

I think pimento cheese is overrated... The problem with pimento cheese is there's absolutely no crunch or hard factor in there. It's just soft. Just soft.

Food ratings are subjective.

I would retire from football if it guaranteed the Bills a Super Bowl win

If that's what it took, I would do it. [Big Cat: You guarantee it?] I would do it. I feel like I would have a part whether I played or not.

This is a hypothetical sacrifice that cannot be literally tested without a magical guarantee.

I do not want a championship ring from the 2024 Boston Celtics

I greatly appreciate that sentiment, but I am truly so happy for those guys and you know, they deserved it. And again, did your part though... but I don't want the ring. I think that that equals no ring.

This is a personal decision about receiving an honor.
