0:00 And do it to Americans, dude. So, like yeah. >> kiss a man in that stadium if they told if they were saying this ████ >> Even if [laughter] you're straight? >> Absolutely. I don't give a ████ dude. That's not how Americans roll. >> They'll organize a big kiss-off? >> I think it's going to get worse, to be honest. Welcome to another episode of the Carol >> [laughter] >> of the Careful Boys. Oh, man. So, um do you guys know Oh, man. Oh, man. Do you guys know about the World Cup uh the way they do draws for different matches and stuff like that? One location of which like the World Cup series will be played and then also like who's playing who at what time. >> cuz it just happened. Yeah. So, this is a this is a kind of good case of irony and uh let's just talk about it, you know? That's what we do
0:51 here. We just talk about it. So, the World Cup uh is going to be played in Seattle in terms of certain uh parts of There's a bunch of different host cities, but one of the host cities is Seattle. It's one of 16 cities. Uh and ironically the World Cup draw was just brought out. But, before that draw was made, Seattle had made a decision because the World Cup series uh in Seattle starts on the Pride Week the the beginning of Pride Week. Seattle obviously has a very very huge LGBTQ+ community. Uh so, they thought, "Hey, why don't we tie in the first game of the series with like Pride Week and like that's how we're going to celebrate World Cup events, inclusion, yada yada yada yada yada." Um but, there's a a really unique irony because the first game uh that's matching up during
1:42 the Pride Week version of the World Cup in Seattle is the two countries are Iran and Egypt. Oh, boy, that's not good. Where in Iran homosexuality is illegal. No, he uh Ahmadinejad said we don't even have no gay people. If you remember. >> even frown upon it. No one's there. He's like, "They don't No one's here." And uh with Egypt, it's not quite illegal, but like you can you can go you can get arrested for like indecency, especially in things. Yeah. For for How do they prove it? Like if you're holding hands with a dude? If you got a gay shirt on, they're like, "No, dude." The shirt's too tight for you, brother. >> A Volcom on. The shirt's a little shiny, dude. >> [laughter] >> Man wearing a sequin shirt? Gay. Yeah. There's not There's no particular plans for Pride activities inside the stadium, so to speak, uh which would fall under
2:33 FIFA's direct control, but Seattle World Cup 2026 says plans for outside the arena and throughout the city Pride things will be going on. >> So, that's so perfectly hilarious. It's Yeah, it's it's Seattle of all cities, Pride Week, and these two countries. That's amazing. So, obviously a lot of people were kind of just going at each other online because it's it's a it's Yeah, it's a it's a weird one. >> You think it's a marketing thing? No, because it's a it's a World Cup draw. I understand Seattle wanting to do that. Do you think Trump really drew USA? That was all fake. What do you mean? What do you mean? What do Trump drew USA for like the World Cup, right? Like you saw that clip? >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like of all the countries he could have picked, he picked USA out. Like it's all fake to me. It's like the NBA lottery, dude. >> Okay, I see what you mean. Give me a break. That's funny that we even have it here
3:24 when no one really watches it. What do you mean what we call it soccer here? >> Yeah. Yeah. It We're having the World Cup here like >> And and I thought like isn't it somewhat difficult to come to the US if you want to watch this game? Isn't it probably Getting here not as easy right now? Probably. Getting through like customs and immigration? Right. Especially from those countries. How it feels weird to be the host country. And some of those countries can't even Only the ballers. I think the ballers Yeah. Kind of weird, right? For sure. Well, if you think about F1, right? It's supposed to be like the billionaire like circuit of like you just follow that and you're hella rich. >> Right. But, I don't think it's I think it's the rich-ass people of those countries. And then you know that they don't even They're probably like educated and they're not like homophobic. And they're just So, they're like barking up the wrong tree, I think. Well, I mean it's it's
4:14 They have to bark up a tree, though. Like this is this is kind of a an affront to their Again, I'm Hey, man. I'm American. I'm proud to be here, but you know, where homosexuality is still illegal in Iran and punishable by death uh death penalty like um even the Egyptian FA released a lengthy statement on its website earlier this week confirming they had officially complained in a letter sent to FIFA. Um it says the planned celebrations directly contradict the cultural, religious, and social values in the region, especially in Arab and Islamic societies. >> He said the That's the worst thing you could do. Now [clears throat] all the gays all over America's going to join and say, "We're going to be extra gay Yeah. >> because you're trying to stop it." They're going to be in the soccer stands like two dudes making out and stuff like that defiantly. >> [laughter] >> The refs are going to make out. Damn, dude. That's freaking funny, man. You can't tell Americans to be decent
5:05 and stop. >> No. Like Dude, they'll start sucking a dick in front of you. >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah? The the president of Iran's Football Federation, Mehdi Taj, criticized the decision to hold the game in Seattle on that weekend. "Both Egypt and we have objected because uh objected because this is an unreasonable and illogical move that essentially signals support for a particular group, and we must definitely address this point. It's It's kind of crazy." That is crazy. Why If you don't have any gay people in your borders, like what the president of Iran said, why do you have a law about it? Didn't Russia say they don't have gay people, either? Really? Yeah, that's pretty That's a big claim. That's a big statement. Yeah, it's massive. >> We don't have gay. They for sure have gay people. I've looked up Russian gay porn. But, what if they're not talking about homosexual? What if they're talking about like how South Park calls bikers and wannabe
5:57 They don't have any Harley riders. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, they're like, "We don't have gay." They're like, "Oh, yeah, we have homosexual, but we don't have gay." >> [laughter] >> Like they thought They're like, "We don't have lame dudes." Homo. >> [laughter] >> Like people who are on their phone when the the light's green? >> When the light's green, yeah. Dude. Gay. You're gay. No. You're absolutely gay, dude. Yeah. >> [laughter] >> We don't have these people. Believe that in in Iran if they were to do a survey and be like, "Everyone who's gay, let us know." Nobody would speak up. Well, by death penalty, that's crazy. Even if there's no If they said there's no penalty. They're like, "We just want to know. We just want to know if anyone's gay." So, then they're like, "Yeah, legally they're allowed to say no one's gay in Iran because look, we got the figures." Makes sense. Their census? Yeah, it makes sense. The best. You see? Nobody signed up. Nobody said gay.
6:47 >> [laughter] >> If you lie, no problem. >> Yeah. Nothing will happen. To you or your family. >> Yeah. It's true. I mean, I get Iran cuz the religious thing, right? But, what about Russia? I thought they were atheist country. >> [laughter] >> Atheist? I think they're hella Christian, aren't they? I don't know. I thought they were communist and they wiped all that ████ out. >> They They They didn't completely wipe it out, I guess. Yeah. I don't know. The main religion in Russia is Orthodox Christianity. There you go. With the Russian Orthodox Church being the largest denomination and considered significant part of Russia's history and culture. >> They have crazy churches over there. So, yeah, didn't get fully wiped out. Mhm. Nice. Does Iran have gay people? >> too. There's got to be a little underground That's really risky, huh? I think that you can be openly Christian, though, there. A little bit. Yes, gay people live in Iran despite facing severe legal
7:38 and social persecution. Same-sex sexual activity is criminalized and can be punishable by flogging, imprisonment, or the death penalty under the country's Islamic penal code. >> Well, you think sex is more exciting when there's like rules and stuff? >> When like when you could die? >> [laughter] >> No, no. When you don't If you don't get caught. >> Dude, for sure. Imagine Imagine if uh The idea of forbidden fruit, yeah. Yeah. Imagine how exciting it is to have straight sex in San Francisco. Oh, yeah. It's got to be breathtaking. >> [laughter] >> Getting caught. Imagine that's how it feels. >> [laughter] >> Hey, are you guys straight? Weren't you from San Francisco or something? Some gay like that? No. He's from Taiwan. I'm from Taiwan. They don't really get too. >> [laughter] >> Were you born in Taiwan? Yeah. You ████ immigrant. You might get kicked out, dude. Do you think there's Are there gay people in Taiwan? Yeah, we're we're
8:29 really progressive in that way. Yeah, very We have our first woman president and everything. No, I mean the whole country's gay, so that's why you can't stop the majority. Dude, you even calling Taiwan a whole country right now is going to get you in trouble with, you know, the best number one nation in the world. >> Oh, that's true. Wait, so I wonder if China number one I wonder if it's okay then because he's he said Taiwan was a whole country, but he also said it's all gay. So, maybe it's like a It's a cancels Yeah. Cancels out. >> [laughter] >> It'd be like having straight sex in San Francisco. You're supposed to be inclusive. >> [laughter] >> Dude, what's going to happen with this? Are people Is there going to be a riot? I mean, like like like they said, if you tell them that they shouldn't do it, they're probably going to do it five to 10x. >> And do it to Americans, dude. Yeah.
9:19 >> I would kiss a man in that stadium if they told if they were saying this ████ Even if you're [laughter] straight? >> Absolutely. I don't give a ████ dude. That's not how Americans roll. >> They'll organize a big kiss-off? >> it's going to get worse, to be honest. Americans just don't like to be told what to do, man. And I don't We like to be raised to to do what they want us to do, what the government wants us to do. Yeah. But, not being told. >> I I do really like anything that happens where it helps certain Americans see how big the world is and that like American customs don't apply to the Earth. And I do I do like when that happens. It gives people a reality check. And it's okay if they make out in the a stadium and then outside. >> I also understand that like if, you know, a country It's like this, we we are tourists when we go to other countries. We're supposed to understand, follow your customs, cultures, and rules. Yeah. If not, then we shouldn't go there. That's true. So, if if Iran
10:11 and Egypt object to a certain point Yeah. Granted, they don't want to get fully like disqualified from the entire World Cup series, but if they object to a certain point like, "Hey, look, we just can't go there. So, reshuffle the deck or something. Like, give us give us an alternative." I think that's more of a conversation versus like if they go like, "Look, we complained as much as we could, but we we want to win the World Cup, and this is the only way." If they go there, they just they better know that like, "Hey, you you just walked into that spot." You can't You can't get mad. >> It's like that cat Remember the the cat who went to the the uncontacted tribe, the Sentinelese people, and he went with like a bunch of Bibles, and he was going to teach them about Christianity, and they just marked him. They killed him, yeah. >> Marked him right away because it's like And they said, "Don't go there. It's dangerous." Or You can't bring your ████ You're the tourist, dude. Or they're just saying that because the government wants them to say that, but
11:02 the Egyptian and Iranian soccer team can't wait to get their ass drilled cuz they're so gay. Cuz soccer's gay. Soccer's That's really true. That could [laughter] be. That could be. I mean, all options are there, for sure. >> Cuz soccer's gay. [laughter] Wait, they're saying stuff though? The countries the the teams are saying stuff like, "Hey, we don't want gays?" Formally, yeah. They're No, no, they're they're saying, "Please don't do this debauchery bullshit." >> Don't Oh, they're saying that. Don't be gay. Yeah. >> In front of them. The argument is that like things like this have no place in world sports. Like, don't bring your religion into this. Don't bring your gender ideology, politics, whatever. Like, we're just We're playing sports. We're connecting humans through like athleticism. >> That's what it's supposed to be. Sports is supposed to bridge like Which is why on FIFA's behalf, they're not specifically organizing these things.
11:53 Seattle's just doing Pride Week around. >> Landing on the same timing as like, yeah. Well, they can't control the city. It's not Iran. There you go. That's how it is. The whole shut up and dribble thing is dumb. Like, it's like people are people. If you have like a If you want to, you know, after you win a game talk about something that you care about, like I don't care about that. Like, I don't Except except for those the gas people. Like, if If someone like wins a game, and then they're like, "Don't use fossil fuels." I would ████ slap. Shut the ████ up, dude. Don't use fossil fuels. Those people suck. They start blocking roads and ████ Go ████ Oh my god. Gluing themselves to the Louvre and ████ Like, come on, bud. Like, you're really proving something, dude. People can't go to work.
