Welcome back everybody,

Yes.
So we've got, if you can't decide between American football,
the Lions, and then football
or soccer, as some of us call it,
you don't have to choose today because there's a big
party.
Let's introduce everybody.
So we have Keith Baldwin,
you are the founder and owner of Detroit Soccer and Sports Bar.
It's called the Regal Eagle.
That's right.
Welcome.
Big Red, Big Red's Barbecue, where are you located?
We are in Farmington Hills, we just opened a brick
and mortar about a month and a half.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
And people are raving, by the way, behind the scenes.
People are raving about the barbecue already.
They are- In front of the scenes too.
In front, behind.
This is incredible.
And then we also are joined by a guy
who knows a lot about the game of soccer.
You've got a podcast.
Yeah, tell everybody about your podcast.
Yeah, so we talk about soccer from around the world.
We focus a lot on here in Michigan,
all the local games that are going on.
We do a lot of events down at the bar, the Regal Eagle.
So, yeah, it's a soccer bar, and we're happy
to be partnering with them.
All right, Craig,
I've got to ask right off the bat that big soccer news.
The U.S. men's coach, he's out.
He left?
Today?
Yep.
Officially today he signed with Manchester United.
Incredible.
He'll be out of the job in 18 months at Manchester United,
which is unfortunate, but yeah, US
got a big task on their hands, finding a new manager.
Okay, so Sunday morning you're hosting a Lions party,
and what's that going to look
like?
Like this, right?
Yeah, kind of.
We have a special German beers
and a lot of European beers that we have for the soccer
games.
I came to the States with soccer,
but I'm a big Lions fan, season ticket holder as well.
Nice.
We go to the games.
We're opening early.
Big Red's got his food truck down there.
Where are you from, Keith?
South London.
Okay.
South London.
Very nice.
Big Red, what are we eating right now?
This is delicious.
That's our brisket in front of you.
We got our Wagyu dino ribs and Wagyu back ribs.
So make sure you get a bite of them.
Habibi, it's the seasoning, the juiciness.
Thank you.
That I just want to indulge right now.
I'm trying to control myself now.
No, don't.
Okay, lose control.
Try the burnt ends, the new baked meat, the burnt ends.
Oh, the burnt ends, okay.
We gotta get one of those.
They're great.
Get us one of those trays with the fancy ribs.
Okay, let's talk beer real quick,
because you did pour us a nice little flight here.
All right, the ones to your left,
this is a special German beer we have.
It's from Bavaria.
It's right by where the Lions are playing.
It's been brewed since 1455 by monks.
Really?
Those monks are really good with the booze, aren't they?
The monks know how to make a beer.
All right, how do we do a toast in Germany?
I think Prost is that one.
All right.
All right.
Very good.
Let's do it.
Mm-hmm.
To a lion's victory.
Mm-hmm.
Go Lions.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, that's quite nice.
That's a great beer.
That's very good.
Those Dunkels have a lot of flavor.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
And the other ones, this is an English one.
The toasted oatmeal stout.
And we're playing Spain,
so I have a Spanish lager and the English Old Speckled Hen as
well.
Cheers.
But this is the oatmeal stout from England.
Oatmeal stout.
A lot of these beers people drink
when they watch soccer, Modelo, obviously,
Michelob Ultra, Heineken, and then
some more specialized European beers.
Yeah, if you want a regular American beer, you can get that too,
but it's fun to dabble in this, isn't it?
Yeah, and there's a couple of great Michigan ones.
We work with Black Rocks a lot.
Some of their beers are great.
I don't know.
These are all really good.
So what time are you opening?
We'll be open at 9 and have food available,
and then we've got the game, and then we'll
have obviously lunch available,
then at 2.45 in the afternoon, England play Spain in a
big soccer game.
So it's football and football all day.
Craig, as a soccer podcaster,
what do you enjoy about watching both forms of football,
so to speak?
Both forms are so different from each other, right?
Absolutely.
I was a Lions season ticket holder for years.
I love the Lions.
I think, I hope, and I can see everybody out there
in Germany having a great time, all
the fans and all the great, Gray Sanders, tapping kegs.
That's great.
That's great.
And then, we got to see that.
Sanders is tapping kegs?
Yeah.
I mean that's you know the local football here
but a lot of people forget about the
other sort of football right soccer
which brings everybody together and that's what
Keith's Bar kind of does it's everybody comes
in there it's a brand new place.
That just people from the soccer community
are gravitating to because they're different
beers and just watching games.
So the fact that you can be there all day Sunday watching
the Lions and then watching
some of the big games from around the world, it's incredible.
Oh my God.
And then the food is even better.
It is cool.
As we send our American sport to Munich,
we're trying to fully celebrate soccer, Europeans,
really the world's favorite sport here.
So good stuff, guys.
Thank you so much.
Big Red, people can find you, your brick and mortar in Farmington.
Yes, ma'am.
Which you'll be hanging out at his place on Sunday.
Oh, yeah.
We'll be at his bar on Sunday.
And where are you located?
One more time?
Farmington Hills on Orchard Lake and 696.
Beautiful.
Thank you, brother.
This is great.
We'll be right back.
