| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the total sucker show.. My name is Daryl Grove and I'm joined by a man whose balls are always correctly inflated. His name is Taylor Rockwell. Hello. You got to. I would say overinflated sometimes. That's what I've been accused of, Mr. Grove. None of this Tom Bradyness for me, sometimes too hard, not too soft. You noticed this, right? In the Champions League final, which is a rather important game, they put it on television and everything. Some of the balls were underinflated. Yeah. But this has happened in a couple other games in the Champions League restart tournament such as it's been yeah like I've |
| 0:54.8 | seen players go to take a throw and then stop and then drop the ball on demand the one that had been |
| 0:58.7 | in play so maybe just those ones on the sidelines are like they're from past Champions |
| 1:02.8 | league games and they've just been sitting there for months and have lost a little bit of the air a |
| 1:06.5 | little bit of that tightness that they need to be true Champions League balls is someone not not doing their job? I mean, I would assume so. That's what it's got to be, right? Yeah. I think they were all busy in the stands cheering today instead of doing their job, making sure everything was properly inflated and ready to go. I did enjoy the cheering. We encourage our team to do that from the sidelines, right? To take advantage of what is always like 10 subs that we have, we encourage support from the sidelines. We do. We don't then try to bill it as like the first time we've had a big atmosphere in the stadium the way they did at halftime a little bit. It was like, guys, come on. It's still like maybe 100 people cheering. That does create a little bit of volume bit of volume though you could hear the cheers it just maybe wasn't quite as loud as it would have |
| 1:47.2 | been on a real day but still that was a nice touch yes i think alec Scott does a really good job of shepherding |
| 1:53.4 | peter smike yeah through those moments i kind of think she makes sure that he doesn't pet the rabbit |
| 1:59.1 | too hard you know what I mean? I do, which is why I'm laughing so hard. I know exactly what you mean. I'm like, uh-huh, okay, yeah, that's great. That's great, Peter, please talk about it. Oh, he is often another thing. They're about to kick off, Peter. That is literally what happened today, isn't it? |
| 2:19.5 | All right. I will say, good job all around from everybody at CBS because I haven't watched. |
| 2:25.9 | I don't watch a lot of pre and post-match stuff. I don't know, I don't know why. |
| 2:29.6 | But I was really impressive what I saw from Jamie Carragher and Maker Richards and all those guys today. |
| 2:34.0 | I think they got the analysis and made really good points really quickly to the point where I was almost kind of cursing them. |
| 2:40.0 | Normally the situation is that we get to have the insights on this show and an American audience won't hear it until they come here. |
| 2:46.9 | They're sort of giving our game away on television here. |
| 2:49.3 | I had that a little bit with the commentators as well, Germaine Janus especially, but who the play-by-play commentator was. |
| 2:55.9 | Do you remember? |
| 2:56.6 | I can't remember. |
| 2:57.6 | At one point, I remember thinking, like, okay, PSG have done a really good job so far. |
| 3:01.5 | This is like 33 minutes in. |
| 3:03.2 | I was like, PSG have done a good job so far. |
| 3:05.0 | They're containing Byron. |
| 3:05.8 | They're really kind of frustrating them. But I wonder if they're going to be able to do this throughout the game. |
