0:00.0	From Relay FM, this is Upgrade episode 434, today's show is brought to you by Text Expander,
0:15.3	Memberful, and Fitbot. My name is Mike Helian, I'm joined by Jason Snow,
0:19.2	High-Japan Snow. I'm Mike Hurley, how are you? I'm very good, I have a hashtag
0:23.0	snail tool question for you, comes from Dude Akku, asks, who are you rooting for in the World Cup,
0:27.6	and who do you think will win? Oh, the World Cup. Just started. This is Soccer, American Soccer.
0:34.0	It's the biggest sporting event in the world, and the US is in it, so I'm going to
0:40.5	root for the US, because I'm an American. I will also be cheering on England, I think,
0:48.6	because I always do that. And who do I think is going to win? Oh, you know, I had a prediction,
1:00.4	and now I've forgotten what it was. It's, I'm going to say, just to do them, I'm going to say
1:09.2	England. Why would you do this? To do them. That's fun. It's part of the doom. You got to set

1:18.2	It's going to be a rough day, a few, few on Friday. I mean, I could go to Argentina if you like,
1:22.1	but Friday's going to be a bad day, you know, because in England versus the US, well,
1:28.3	the good news. Good to crush you. The good news is, Mike, the good news is, I can't watch that
1:34.8	match, because Fox, the TV network that's carrying the World Cup in the US, has decided that they need,
1:42.3	they want to keep it rolling. That's Black Friday. After Thanksgiving, they need to keep it rolling
1:47.5	with the sports after the World Cup is over. And of course, the World Cup is over fairly early
1:52.4	here in the US, because it's in Qatar. So they decided months ago, probably like six months ago,
2:00.8	that what they would do is they would schedule a college football game right after England versus
2:06.0	USA. So they could keep the sports rolling. And they thought, fans of international soccer,
2:10.3	what would they want to see more than UCLA at Cal. And so I will not see that World Cup match,
2:16.7	because I will be driving to the stadium for the college football game that follows the World Cup.
