Transcript
Good morning, it's Haystack and we may be a day late because I took a sick day yesterday.
Speaker A:But we're not going to miss out on our chance to have a conversation with my dear friend Bama down in rural Alabama.
Speaker A:She's going to join us on the phone now.
Speaker A:And Bama, thanks for shifting the schedule back a day for me.
Speaker A:I appreciate it.
Speaker A:I was kind of wondering, have you you noticed all this hubbub about the World Cup?
Speaker B:Oh, hey, Stack.
Speaker B:Yeah, I've heard all about it and I don't understand a single dadgum thing that's a going on.
Speaker A:Okay, well what part of it's confusing you?
Speaker B:Well, all of it.
Speaker B:One person told me it's football, another person said it's soccer, then Verna told me that FEMA was involved and now I don't know if it's a sporting event or an evacuation plan.
Speaker A:Bama, I can assure you that FEMA has nothing to do with the World Cup.
Speaker B:Well now see, that's exactly what FEMA would want me to think.
Speaker A:No, that's not what.
Speaker B:And why do they call football football when they barely use their feet and there ain't hardly no football?
Speaker B:Meanwhile, soccer is over there being called soccer when everybody's kicking stuff, it's all backwards.
Speaker B:Hey, Stack.
Speaker A:Well now you're not entirely wrong about the naming thing.
Speaker B:Well, thank you.
Speaker B:Finally somebody is making some sense around here.
Speaker A:So have you learned anything about the players?
Speaker B:Well, yeah, apparently there's some famous feller in it that they call Messi.
Speaker A:Oh, you're talking about Lionel Messi.
Speaker B:Yeah, that's him.
Speaker B:And honestly, same buddy.
Speaker B:Same.
Speaker A:Same?
Speaker B:Yeah, same.
Speaker B:That's what people called me after my drunken incident at the Planet Fitness.
Speaker A:Oh no, I'm afraid to ask.
Speaker B:Well, let's just say the hydro, massage beds, a family sized chili dog and poor decision making are a dangerous combination.
Speaker B:To this day I am not allowed anywhere near that lunk alarm.
Speaker A:Now that sounds like a policy written specifically because of you.
Speaker B:Yeah, it absolutely was.
Speaker A:So are you planning to watch any of the World cup matches?
Speaker B:Well, maybe, but what I am interested in is the fact that there's apparently a bunch of European fellows in town for this thing.
Speaker A:Oh boy.
Speaker B:Oh Haystack, I am officially on Speedo watch.
Speaker A:I don't think that's an official World cup activity.
Speaker B:Well, it is in my house.
Speaker A:I had a feeling you were gonna say that.
Speaker B:Well, anyway, I gotta go.
Speaker B:I need to figure out if olay is a greeting or a pickup line.
