Hey, L. Cheaters, welcome to the iOS Stream podcast. My name's Josh. I'm here with Brandon.

Brandon, how are you?

I'm good. I feel like there's a special energy in this episode, Josh, because you're recording minutes after the Chelsea Spurs match.

Yep. I'm glad we're not in the same room to try and like reenact the Conte Tuchel handshake.

Yeah. The moment at which Conte looks down at Tuchel's hand, like, is this really happening? I just lost it. Like, it's, I can't, I can't tell where I stand. Like, many people would say this is the drama that we love, but also, I'm a grown up. There's no, there's no, there's no there's no, but necessary. This is sports. This is not important. And you should, you should enjoy it

because like, they're not going to go like beat each other up in a back alley. Like, it's, it's fine. You know, are they not? Like, maybe, I hope they do. That'd be even more drama. It was great because you had, you know, you had the initial play, which, you know, fair enough.

I mean, ultimately had the initial play, which, you know, fair enough.

I mean, ultimately, I think, like, yeah, did that, like, start the series of, you know, passes that ultimately did the goal?

Yes, but there was, like, the play didn't get interrupted enough.

Like, it was a full minute after that.

So I think that, you know, and they did lose possession, win it back, score the goal. So, you know, I think enough things changed, I think,

for that to be not utterly responsible for what happened, you know. Yeah, I, I like really dislike

groaning about refereeing decisions because, you know, I'm more of a fatalist,

sort of like what will be will be if you leave the result of the match and the fates of the

ref, then you're actually Calvinist. It was all, you think it was all rewritten. So yeah.

Yeah. So I do though think that match was riddled with a few more errors than one would like to see.

I think that Richarlason standing in an offside position was probably interfering.

The hair pulling was, you know, certainly something that should have been called for a foul at the very least.

But anyway, I...

And I'll evens out, right? That's what they always say.

And I tend to think that's true. You know, you're going to get your share of calls on either side.

On balance, Chelsea was the better team, I think. And that was... Especially in the first half.
