Born a day matters and welcome to this bonus episode of the International Reefer Report, with me Michael Twentyman, the Grimraver. And the reason I'm bringing this episode is just without the schedule drop for the common season and we now know who's going to be playing, who, and what dates. So I just want to drop a little episode and let you know what's going on with the International Games and say where we're at. Yeah, so regarding this, literally just as the schedule's dropped, I'm warning you, just in from seeing Greenlow tonight, I was brilliant. It's just fantastic. A room full of sweaty, airy men all listening to pig and do metal, what mod you want on a Wednesday night. So yeah, you know this pop band was a interesting band, the band I'd never heard of, you know what was it called, it typed in me for lowing, lowing this band was called and it's a genre of doom metal that I've never heard of before in my life, really, there were clusters, middle east and progressive doom. You know, take out that way you want, but really interesting, bit much. You know, by the time I got to the end, I think I was a bit sick of middle east and progressive doom, but you know, when it first died, quite good. But anyways, this is just a quick episode, just to give you the breakdown, so I'll get into this. The fixtures have been announced, well, it's morning and literally just now in the last 10 minutes or so, and staff with the first international game of the season, which will be on the 6th of September and that will be in Brazil, in San Paolo, Brazil, coming from the Corinthian stadium and it will be the Philadelphia Eagles versus the Green Bay Packers. No, you look at, give the record of the Eagles and the Packers abroad, you know, internationally, the Eagles have only played once, ever, and the one in 2018, and let's see, that was against Jacksonville Jaguars, the 124-18 at Wembley Stadium, and the eel cheese heads, they have played once and lost once in 2022, and let's see, that game was against the Giants, 27-22. So yeah, that should be a good opening week of the season. The thing about it, Packers versus the Eagles, I'm still a bit confused as to why the Dolphins aren't the home team, you know, the way this international thing works, each country has a designated home team, and the only team that's designated to Brazil is the Dolphins, but the NFL actually mentioned that for some reason, they weren't going with the normal way of choosing, and that's why they've got the Eagles, but they never actually really, like, explained why. You know, they've done a Brock Lesley in WWE that he comes back and just destroys somebody for no reason, they don't tell you why, and over the weeks, you think we're going to get an explanation, and eventually everyone just forgets about it, but yeah, so, anyways, the Eagles versus the Packers is going to be a good game in Brazil. So the next game that we are going to get internationally, where we're going to find a new list, is the on October the 6th, which would be the New York Jets versus the Minnesota Vikings, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. I've already booked my hotel for this, I've got my hotel booked, I haven't booked the trains because the train tickets don't come out yet, and well, the game tickets, they won't come out for another couple of months, I'm going to ticket-sill there, but yeah, the record for the Minnesota Vikings abroad is the one of one, two, three, four, the one of four teams that has a perfect free-and-all record, and yeah, they share that free-and-all record with the Giants of 49ers and the Chiefs, and the Jets have played twice in overseas, and they have a one-on-one record, hopefully Aaron Rodgers will be fit for this, I would like to see Aaron Rodgers against the Vikings in real life, that would be a good match, I'd probably like to see, and either way, actually, you know, the fella in the NFL, the pack is fun, is he a pack as fan or is he an Aaron Rodgers fan, is the fella who is the spitting image of Aaron Rodgers, and I think he's known as the not Aaron Rodgers guy, a bit like the green share guy in wrestling, who always appears at like front-row pay-per-views, this dude appeared at a load of Packer's games, look at the spitting image of Aaron Rodgers, even one Aaron Rodgers jersey, but I remember last time when the packers came to the yoga, he was actually there in the crowd, if I remember right, so yeah, I wonder if he follows Aaron Rodgers, I wonder if he'll be in Brazil for the packer's game, I wonder if he'll follow Aaron Rodgers and be at Tottenham for the Vikings game, the next game on October the 13th is the Jacksonville Jaguars, sorry the Chicago Bears hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, now the Chicago Bears have played internationally, there's a roster again, it is twice with a one-on-one record, and the Jacksonville Jaguars, yeah they've played more than anyone, they've played a total of 11 times with six wins and five losses, so these series of games will actually be the Jags' 12th and 13th game in London over the past few years, which will then lead us into our next and final game in the UK for the international series and that will be Jacksonville Jaguars hosting the New England Patriots at Wembley Stadium, so again the Jacksonvilles had like 11 games but the Patriots, you know they were the only ones really that were pushing to have more than three wins, but last season I covered the game which was in Germany and it was the cost versus the Patriots, it was a day again if I remember right I don't think there was 10-6 but I think there was only one touchdown maybe, but yeah because of that loss they were they have a record of three and one internationally, three wins and one loss, which then will lead us into the last game which will be in Munich, Germany in the early Anserina and that will be the Carolina Panthers hosting the New York Giants, now the Carolina Panthers have only played once internationally and won and that was against the book and he is in 2019, now the Giants, the Giants actually won the first ever game in London back in 2007 they beat the Miami Dolphins 13-10 but they also hold a free to zero win record internationally and that is sort of all the information that we're getting at the minute, so yeah ticket information, if you're interested in getting any of these tickets as you know usually you have to be quick to get them because they go really fast but if you are wanting to get them all my advice is just sign up to the team that you want to go to, mail and list and they will let you know as soon as they're coming up because each game comes, tickets go on sale on different debt, it's not like they say it's going to be this debt in June, I think last time I bought tickets was the end of June but I know people have bought them the second week in July you know when the tickets have been released so you know just sign up to wherever and keep an eye out and they'll let you know as soon as they go on sale, so just a quick recap on what we've got air coming internationally and for the international river report we will have on the 26th of September the Eagles vs. the Packers on the 6th of October the Vikings vs. the Jets on the 13th of October the Bears vs. the Jags on the 20th of October the Jags vs. the Patriots and we'll find the Germany section and on the 10th of November the Panthers vs. the Giants, now every one of these I think it's actually going to be, he's calling games with like you know quite a bit of drama the last season you know the the Kansas City Dolphins game was exciting but the Patriots and Colts game was a bit flat you know hopefully we're not going to get that for the international games this year but yeah all the stuff to win say well me so with that being said I will be back with the international river report on the 6th of September but I will also be back next week with another reefer's rivalries which she was doing candles and rams candles and rams next week on the reefers and rafflers so have a good rest of your week everybody and I'll speak to you shortly stay flat stay flat
