We're gonna get you 16 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:18.599 ready for the weekend once again at Lanty and I 17 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.840 did in their last preseason home game, and it's a 18 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.560 preseason home game behind closed doors, but nevertheless it is 19 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:30.079 a preseason home game. So all of y'all's once again, 20 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:32.959 it's great to see you here today. So I didn't 21 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.959 realize that I was Jason test for a second, So 22 00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:37.959 spot me a second and a half here, So there 23 00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.840 we go, all right. So there, I'm me, I'm i'm me, 24 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.439 you're you all right, So here's the deal. We're gonna 25 00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:47.000 go over everything this weekend. I know that we kind 26 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.959 of had on the table the breaking news that kind 27 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.799 of broke yesterday involving the USL and what was going 28 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:58.640 on there. We've got that to talk about and just 29 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.959 kind of put a bow on it anything else and 30 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.079 just kind of once again look through the whole thing. 31 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.960 We did go into stadium sizes and things like that, 32 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:12.039 and the economics of it all. 33 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:14.960 Is it just me? And it's probably just this computer. 34 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:16.879 I'm gonna have to take the I'm gonna have to 35 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:22.080 take the laptop into the geek squad and figure it 36 00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:25.080 out because there's one particular app that is one particular 37 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.000 website that is fritzing all over the place on the desktop. 38 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:32.520 So anyway, all right, so I know that yesterday we 39 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.680 talked about stadium sizes and things like that, I talked 40 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.719 about travel. I mean, we probably can put a bow 41 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:41.479 on it more than anything else. Right now, I'm intrigued 42 00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:44.319 with the next steps. I want to see if they're 43 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.759 looking at different markets, if they're looking at the same markets, 44 00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.000 if they're looking at expansion. My biggest thing is the 45 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:55.319 economics involved, both inbound and outbound. And I want to 46 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.560 see who might be interested in something like that from 47 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.159 a sponsor perspective, what's the TV package going to look like? 48 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:01.400 Is it going to be the same thing that it's 49 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:01.800 there now? 50 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.080 So, like I said, twell to fourteen team league that 51 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.639 we know, we yesterday went over the stadia and we'll 52 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:09.400 go back over it again real quick for those that 53 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.000 missed it yesterday as a part of the discussion, and 54 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:16.360 we'll see what everybody else, you know, may think about 55 00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:20.360 all of all of that issue. So, like I said, 56 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.560 we'll put it, we'll put a bow on it, and 57 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:26.759 we'll see what's on everybody's mind involving that really quickly. 58 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.039 I mean, like I said, we pretty much went through 59 00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.919 the release yesterday when Paul McDonough said what he said, 60 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.840 and we'll uh and and uh, Nick Papadeka said what 61 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:40.199 he said, the interview with the McDonagh with UH the 62 00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.280 Athletic and then the release that came out with Nick 63 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.680 Papadeka saying the things that he said. We went through 64 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.919 the Louisville version of it because lou said he was 65 00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:52.000 the first one that got into my inbox. So that's 66 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.680 where that's where we are with all of that. So 67 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.599 let's see So whatever whatever else is on your mind, 68 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.439 we'll get into that this some stuff overseas to get into. 69 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:03.280 We've got big matchups and things like that. We've got 70 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:07.560 to get into the revisiting of the Premier League now 71 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.319 that we're out of the FA window, all the big 72 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.879 matchups that are coming up this weekend, and we may 73 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:14.680 we may have another guest coming up at ten thirty 74 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.959 to break everything down on your weekend and what we've 75 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:22.279 seen so far. So Opening Kickoff rought to is buy 76 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.639 our friends at Kickoff Coffee and Kickoff Coffeeco dot Com. 77 00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.360 I've still got to figure out when to make sure 78 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:33.360 that I can grab the QR code and flash the 79 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.759 QR code on the screen, so what blocks out my face? 80 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.600 Oh and the other thing I know that we'll do 81 00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:39.800 as a part of Opening Kickoff as well. 82 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:41.920 At your there's no piano here. 83 00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.319 For those of you that were here yesterday and you 84 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:48.439 got to see the end of the show where Nico 85 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.160 and I were discussing what we always discuss. You saw 86 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.000 the piano movers, so it's it's odd not having an armrest, 87 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.519 so it's just a it's an odd situation. But yeah, 88 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.920 we're getting the new piano brought in fairly soon, so 89 00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:05.319 we'll see what's what what's on the mind up By 90 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.879 the way, when they moved the piano yesterday, we all 91 00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.199 remember what happened over the last couple of days. But 92 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.079 it was it was a mud bog in the backyard. 93 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:21.519 It was a mud bog, a guarantee, so uh, it 94 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.360 was it was an experience trying to get the trying 95 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.759 to trying to get the how do we say this, uh, 96 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.199 try to get the piano out of the out of 97 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:39.600 the backyard. So that was that was very very interesting yesterday. 98 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:41.680 I give the piano movers a great deal of credit 99 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.279 for what they were able to pull off yesterday in 100 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.120 removing the piano. In removing the piano yesterday, they get 101 00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:51.839 they get massive credit for what they were doing yesterday. 102 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:57.439 So big ups to them as as we got a 103 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.079 piano move. And it's only half the battle, so we'll 104 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.680 see what's on. We'll see what happens there as well. Okay, 105 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.920 opening kickoff brought to is by our friends at Kickoff 106 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:11.240 Coffee and Kickoff Coffeeco dot com.

It was a tight game at the 143 00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.000 half it was one nil, then Walton put the pedal 144 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.639 down in the second half. A lot of credit I 145 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.920 give to Northview and a very very young team. They 146 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.399 had as many as five ninth graders out there at 147 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:21.519 any time.

So when you thought it 500 00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:57.880 was busy, it is busy high school season for US 501 00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:01.759 Pro season for US Julige soccer kicking in. I know 502 00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:05.960 you guys are ready, So everybody's getting all antsy and everything. 503 00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:06.960 So that's where we are. 504 00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:09.039 But this morning, this morning, this morning, as we head 505 00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:12.400 into that last preseason game with FC Dallas, I want 506 00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:13.160 to know what's on your mind. 507 00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:14.160 I want to know what you've seen. 508 00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:16.680 I want to know what has happened and progressed over time, 509 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:19.519 and I want to know what's on your mind when 510 00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:22.000 it comes to Atlanta United. Is we get ready for 511 00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:26.720 the twenty twenty five season. My natural inclination, by the way, 512 00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:28.400 has been to call them the four Horsemen instead of 513 00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:31.279 Slam and then. But I do know that that would 514 00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:33.359 mean that we would probably have to play Onyx in 515 00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:37.200 Mercedes Been Stadium with one of them scored, so in 516 00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:41.759 addition to what we traditionally play, or at least you know, uh, 517 00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:44.640 maybe Mike makes a lyric drop or something. 518 00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:45.400 We'll see something like that. 519 00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:47.599 But once again, I want to know what's on your 520 00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:51.279 mind with it Landy United this morning, what's on your 521 00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:53.039 mind with the team going through all the other news 522 00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:58.480 and all the other things. So that's where that's where 523 00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:00.480 we are this morning, and we'll try and preview as 524 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:02.359 many teams as we're out there. 525 00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:04.160 Harry, you have an excellent point. 526 00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:09.000 If you have it, well, actually I'll give you a 527 00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:11.799 contender in a second. Harry says he's not sure anyone 528 00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:13.039 is beating the RSL kit. 529 00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:14.920 It is. 530 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:17.519 It is without a doubt some some money that a 531 00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:19.599 lot of folks are gonna spend RSL is at a 532 00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.880 home run Seattle in the sale Ish s A Sea 533 00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:25.640 kit would be a second for me, all right, nine 534 00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:29.240 thirty Ish nine thirty or so, and we get to 535 00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:31.880 talk to our mogul in training and we get to 536 00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:35.799 find out what's going on as he's looking at multiple 537 00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:39.359 divisions and looking at multiple teams getting ready for the 538 00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:41.920 starts of their season.

What's it 547 00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:14.000 like handling all of these different personalities of yours heading 548 00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:14.960 into a season for a. 549 00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:21.440 Chain no different than last year? You know, I think that. 550 00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:26.359 What no, no, no comment about Well, expectations are higher 551 00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:27.920 on both sides considering what happened. 552 00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:30.440 Come on, where's my expectations or higher? SoundBite? 553 00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:34.839 I mean, naturally, expectations are higher year two than year one. 554 00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:39.119 That doesn't mean that we're going to go further. I 555 00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:42.480 mean we could only win one more game at the 556 00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:47.160 end of the season at least. But yeah, to be honest, John, 557 00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:49.759 all this d one talk is confusing to me. I 558 00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:54.720 don't US is in a good place right now. MLS 559 00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:59.559 is a behemoth compared to USL, and I'm not privy 560 00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:01.880 to all the information. I'm not on all these Board 561 00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:06.279 of Governor's calls with USL and owners calls, so I'm 562 00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:10.680 not sure what the thinking is, But i just don't 563 00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:12.960 think it makes sense to try and go up against MSS. 564 00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:18.480 MLS is buying and selling players intra league now for 565 00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:23.119 ten plus million dollars, and you know our budget for 566 00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:28.680 players is like one point five million, So yeah, we're 567 00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:31.039 on different levels. So you know, for me, it just 568 00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:35.680 doesn't make sense. That being said, if things do do 569 00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:40.039 do progress, Rhode Island will be in the top bracket 570 00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:41.000 of USL for sure. 571 00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.880 Okay, since you since you mentioned everything going on with 572 00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:48.279 Lanty United and getting ready for multiple seasons in multiple 573 00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:54.200 places as a player, how much did you look forward 574 00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:57.160 to the preseason in and of itself or did you 575 00:30:57.200 --> 00:30:58.920 just want to get out there and start knocking guys 576 00:30:58.920 --> 00:31:00.839 around and have things go on for real? What was 577 00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:03.480 your what was your thought about preseason and getting ready 578 00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:04.400 for the regular season. 579 00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:06.200 As a player, I. 580 00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:09.200 Enjoyed preseason for the most part. I think that there's 581 00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:11.519 obviously aspects of preseason that you don't look forward to, 582 00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:16.079 mostly the fitness, but I enjoyed it just because it 583 00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:18.279 was a time to get to know each other and 584 00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:23.839 set the foundation for the season. There was no you know, 585 00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:28.359 pressure yet as far as you know, games and seedings 586 00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:30.759 and all that stuff. So it was like, Okay, you know, 587 00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:32.720 this is a good time to just train. And I 588 00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:35.640 liked the process of training. I liked, you know, the 589 00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:41.000 the daily routine of it. So yeah, for me, I 590 00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:43.680 really enjoyed it. But yeah, I think that there comes 591 00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:45.599 a time in preseason, even though you're enjoying it, where 592 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:47.880 you're ready to start the season. And I'm sure they've 593 00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:49.000 hit that point. 594 00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:52.640 When it comes to your mentees these days, and this 595 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:54.799 might even play into how you were when you were 596 00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:55.480 their age. 597 00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:57.160 There you go get ready. 598 00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:59.359 Literally, it's the flipping of the switch, like it wasn't 599 00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:01.519 over the top stallone, you get the hat on backwards, 600 00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:05.440 You're ready to go. H when you were of a 601 00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:08.119 young and impressionable age starting out in the game. 602 00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:11.839 So basically, last Tuesday, what did you. 603 00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:16.279 Think about all of the conditioning and the preseason and 604 00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:18.880 all of these things and getting acquainted with new teammates 605 00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:22.880 and everything. You know, do you find that your mentees 606 00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:26.640 understand the importance of a build up and a preseason 607 00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:29.400 and staying as ready as possible, or do you have 608 00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:31.359 to explain to them, Yeah, I know, you got you've 609 00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:34.079 got games. Those are important, but at the same time, 610 00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:37.799 you have to maintain the self going into those games. 611 00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:42.279 Do you have to have those kinds of conversations at all. 612 00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:44.000 Yeah, a little bit, And for sure it changes throughout time, right, 613 00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:47.960 I mean as younger players, the preseason is more important. 614 00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:50.440 These these minutes that you get with the first team, 615 00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:54.720 and these games are super valuable and super important because 616 00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:58.799 you don't know how many opportunities you'll get sometimes right 617 00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:01.000 where for me as a veteran and later in my career, 618 00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:04.240 it was like health is the most important thing, Like, Okay, 619 00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:06.000 you know, I want to get going and I want 620 00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:10.000 to you know, get sharp and stuff, but like this 621 00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:12.519 preseason game, I don't really care about as long as 622 00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:16.240 I you know, feel good and stay fit and get 623 00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:18.759 healthy coming out of it all, like that was the 624 00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:21.720 most important. But I do remember being younger, it was like, hey, 625 00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:23.200 you know, every time you're out there, it's like I 626 00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:26.440 got something to prove you, I got something to earn. 627 00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:31.200 So you know that that is definitely a different situation 628 00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:34.839 for younger guys versus some veteran players. And yeah, I 629 00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:37.720 think that it's important for the younger players to understand that. 630 00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:43.119 And it's it's different now where players come into camp 631 00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:48.839 ready to go, and it's so much different than when 632 00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:51.960 I first started. So in that regard, these younger players 633 00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:54.920 are in a much better place than I was probably 634 00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:57.839 when I was younger. But I think that they also 635 00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:02.000 sometimes put too much emphasis on one game, one play, 636 00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:04.279 where it's like, hey, that's the beauty of preseason, that's 637 00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:07.960 why we got six weeks together, right, especially if you're 638 00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:10.320 training with the first team the whole time, like you know, 639 00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:12.159 you can you can go out there and it's okay 640 00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:15.519 to have a stinker or have a bad training session. 641 00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:19.559 It's more important the response to it and getting back 642 00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:20.159 on the saddle. 643 00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:23.840 Well, and you you mentioned that it's okay to have 644 00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:29.519 a stinker. I would think that, I mean, is pressure 645 00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:35.840 that much different these days? Where because I remember Beckuld 646 00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:38.920 buy a day, you know when I actually had more hair. 647 00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:43.960 You had that pressure from the the generations inside your 648 00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:47.000 home that you know, like the scene in Breakfast Club 649 00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:49.800 at the end when they're having and Emilio Ostevez, you know, 650 00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:52.719 he has the big speech. We I'm sure that we 651 00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:55.559 either had parents like that, we had family members like that, 652 00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:58.519 or we knew folks that were like that, and you know, 653 00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:02.320 pressure was there and your attitude is for ish and 654 00:35:03.119 --> 00:35:05.199 I'm sure we experienced a lot of that growing up. 655 00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:12.199 How different is parental influence and family influence on players 656 00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:14.360 today and on your mentees than it was maybe when 657 00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:16.320 we were growing up. How different is it? Is it 658 00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:19.079 different much? I know I'm asking like a four part 659 00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:20.760 question here, but I guess it has to do with 660 00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:23.840 parental influence and pressure that's put on from the family. 661 00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:26.000 How different is it from your observation. 662 00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:32.079 Yeah, I think it's I feel like back in the day, 663 00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:39.280 it was more pressure of winning and just playing well, 664 00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:42.519 and now it's a different type of pressure where it's 665 00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:48.519 like pressure to play your best, be the best, make 666 00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:51.519 sure that you're in a good spot to get a 667 00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:55.280 scholarship or you know, played on your high school team, 668 00:35:55.400 --> 00:36:00.719 played in college, get a scholarship, you know, it's that 669 00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:04.360 type of pressure is much more we're back when we 670 00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:06.239 were growing up, it wasn't like I didn't have pressure 671 00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:08.920 to go play in college or anything. That was just 672 00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:13.480 like yeah, parents just freaking out trying to win each game, right, 673 00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:18.519 So I think it was just more short term pressure 674 00:36:18.719 --> 00:36:21.119 like game to game, where now I think it's like 675 00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:25.280 a sometimes it's an overarching pressure of like getting to 676 00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:28.280 a certain level or a certain place by a certain time, 677 00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:33.159 just because of year round the money that the parents 678 00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:37.239 are putting into sports, all the extra training, So the 679 00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:41.679 pressure is still there for sure. And I'm sure it 680 00:36:41.719 --> 00:36:43.079 was like this back in the day, Like not all 681 00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:47.880 parents are like that, but you do have some. And honestly, 682 00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:53.800 I've been pleasantly surprised. And maybe it's because that the 683 00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:56.920 families that come and work with Greg and I obviously 684 00:36:57.119 --> 00:37:02.440 have a an open mind frame of how we can 685 00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:06.719 help their athlete. But most of the families that we 686 00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:10.039 work with, the parents are hands off. They put the 687 00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:12.480 they set up the kid, and it's just us and 688 00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:14.920 the and the kid working together, which is awesome. 689 00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:15.559 Uh. 690 00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:20.320 And every now and then we'll have the helicopter parent 691 00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:24.119 that's answering the questions and sitting right there and everything. 692 00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:27.280 But I'm honestly been pleasantly surprised in that regard. 693 00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:29.000 Well, and I know that we've talked about it in 694 00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:35.079 the past about the helicopter parent, and thank I'm thankful 695 00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:37.960 for you to you and for you for what you 696 00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:41.639 and Gregor are doing to where those instances seem to 697 00:37:41.719 --> 00:37:44.920 be few and far between, where the parents, even though 698 00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:48.000 they seem to be wanting to play this long game, 699 00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:51.599 however long it is about getting their their athlete to 700 00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:54.920 the next level and next levels whatever those are, that 701 00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:58.599 they seem to be laying off because I mean, once again, 702 00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:01.960 going back in mind, hey days of black and white television, 703 00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:05.039 you had the family members yelling at umps, you had 704 00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:07.639 them yelling at kids through dugouts, you had all these 705 00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:12.559 kinds of things. And you know, I'm glad that it seems, 706 00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:15.719 at least through your prism that for the most part, 707 00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:18.360 they're laying off. And I think that that speaks a 708 00:38:18.360 --> 00:38:20.679 lot too. I guess what the parents are looking for 709 00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:23.000 and what they hope to see out of their out 710 00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:24.000 of their kids. 711 00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:28.159 Yeah, for sure, I do think it's good. And don't 712 00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:32.119 get me wrong, Hey, you go to any Saturday soccer 713 00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:36.960 youth tournament and go on a sideline You'll be like, yeah, 714 00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:40.079 you know, holy smokes, what is going on in society. 715 00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:43.280 Don't get me wrong, But it was like that back 716 00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:46.800 in the day too, and I so I do think 717 00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:49.320 that there's a lot of parents that have realized, and 718 00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:51.559 you know, I think social media can help in this 719 00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:53.480 regard where it's like you get called out a little 720 00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:55.920 bit and there's more information out there about like, hey, 721 00:38:56.960 --> 00:39:00.360 this is not good for our athletes and there's so 722 00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:04.199 many benefits from losing, so stop freaking out on the 723 00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:10.320 sideline after every game or during every game. So yeah, 724 00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:12.960 there's always going to be some that don't get the message, 725 00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:15.840 and you know, are living through their kids and it 726 00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:18.639 means more to them than their kids. But honestly, I 727 00:39:18.679 --> 00:39:22.760 think for the most part, it's getting a little bit. 728 00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:25.559 Better Michael Parkhurst than the Freddy Freekick, hanging out with us, 729 00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:29.559 answering all the questions about being an owner, being a player, 730 00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:31.800 getting ready for the season, being a mentor. But that 731 00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:34.840 is that's where our focus traditionally is here with what 732 00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:37.440 they're doing at beyond goals, mentoring at BEG, mentoring on 733 00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:41.639 the twitters, at beyond goals minoring dot com. 734 00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:42.119 When it comes to social media. 735 00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:44.800 Since you mentioned social media and how it can be 736 00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:48.079 a good influence, it can be a good it can 737 00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:50.440 be I was gonna sayhen is the reinforcement ever bad? 738 00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:55.800 It can be a reinforcement to activity and behaviors, or 739 00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:58.800 it can be an absolute negative And if you pay 740 00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:03.159 too much attention to the negative, then it could take 741 00:40:03.199 --> 00:40:06.880 everything and make it all haywire. Do you have conversations 742 00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:12.320 with your mentees about social media and how it can 743 00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:15.000 be that that double edged sword sometimes? Do you have 744 00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:17.679 those kinds of conversations with them about the power social media? 745 00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:20.440 Yeah, for sure, especially the players that are trying to 746 00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:23.280 play in college, because if I was an assistant coach, 747 00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:26.599 I would absolutely be checking out their social media to 748 00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:28.559 see what type of content are they putting out there, 749 00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:31.000 Who are they as a person, what are the people 750 00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:32.760 they hang with, what do they do off the field, 751 00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:37.559 like all that stuff. It's it's super important. So yeah, 752 00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:39.639 you want it to make sure that your social media 753 00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:44.079 is a good representative of who you are and know 754 00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:50.519 that nothing ever gets deleted, and it can cost you 755 00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:53.159 if you're not smart with it. It can cost you 756 00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:56.480 a place at a university. It can cost you a 757 00:40:56.559 --> 00:41:00.440 job in the future, right, And yes, people will give 758 00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:02.559 you a pass if you post something silly when you're 759 00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:08.039 fifteen or sixteen to a certain degree, but that doesn't 760 00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:10.920 mean it won't hurt you at some point along the road. 761 00:41:11.079 --> 00:41:14.000 So yeah, we absolutely talk about that and it can 762 00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:19.239 be a great tool as well. I've got a couple 763 00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:22.440 of kids that post all their highlights there, which is great. 764 00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:24.400 Right If a college coach is all of a sudden 765 00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:26.599 looking at their social media and see some of these 766 00:41:26.679 --> 00:41:29.400 highlights like fantastic, that's a great way to use it. 767 00:41:29.679 --> 00:41:31.480 And obviously you can make money off it if you 768 00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:34.239 get to a certain level, right. So yeah, of course 769 00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:37.360 social media is important. You know, nil deals in college 770 00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:38.920 and all that stuff. A lot of it is social 771 00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:43.440 media based. So yeah, there's such benefits to it, for 772 00:41:43.480 --> 00:41:47.519 sure if it's used the right way. But yeah, we 773 00:41:48.039 --> 00:41:50.440 definitely talk about what the negatives could be as well. 774 00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:54.039 Is it eye opening to a mentee when you talk 775 00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:57.360 about the negatives because they may just sit there and say, well, 776 00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:59.760 it's social media and I'm just putting things out there 777 00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:03.480 trying to be social. Do you and Greg ever sit 778 00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:05.519 there and have you know, call a time out when 779 00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:09.360 you see something on a social media platform that's attached 780 00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:11.800 to a mentee and sit there and go, okay, this 781 00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:14.280 you need to learn from that. You need to either 782 00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:16.400 take this down or learn from it, or say something. 783 00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:19.440 Do you do you have those warning conversations with mentees 784 00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:19.719 at all? 785 00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:23.599 We haven't had to yet. We haven't. I've never come 786 00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:29.320 across a mentee who's posted something where I thought, you know, 787 00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:32.199 that's crossing a line, or you gotta be careful here, 788 00:42:32.320 --> 00:42:38.760 or things, and so no, I haven't, which is great. Yes, 789 00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:43.079 will it happen, probably yes, but not yet. 790 00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:45.440 That's that's always a good thing. 791 00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:49.639 But the thing is, but but you acknowledge though you 792 00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:54.519 and Greg both acknowledge it hasn't happened, it's probably gonna happen. 793 00:42:54.679 --> 00:42:59.000 So at least there's that preparation level of Okay, at 794 00:42:59.039 --> 00:43:02.880 some point, this is coming, and we've got to be 795 00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:03.639 ready for it. 796 00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:05.840 We have to, meaning you and Greg have to be. 797 00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:09.440 BGM has to be, and you have to be prepared 798 00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:11.639 to say the right things to a men tee in 799 00:43:11.679 --> 00:43:13.760 a situation like that and sit there and go, Okay, 800 00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:17.239 you know, saw something the other day and whatever it 801 00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:20.320 was is whatever it was. But this is the kind 802 00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:22.400 of stuff that will come back and hurt you. And 803 00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:25.199 explain why it could come back and hurt you from 804 00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:28.360 that perspective, I'm not trying to jam on you, but 805 00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:31.960 I'm trying to give you advice as to why this 806 00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:34.760 can hurt you long term. 807 00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:38.000 M Yeah, no doubt about it. It's absolutely part of 808 00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:42.800 the journey. It's part of the pathway, and mistakes will 809 00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:45.559 be made. I mean, shoot, we've all made mistakes, so 810 00:43:46.559 --> 00:43:48.880 you know, it's more about the knowledge and growing from 811 00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:52.840 it and understanding it. Because I think that there's a 812 00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:55.840 false sense that you know, I'll just delete something, I'll 813 00:43:55.920 --> 00:43:56.639 just get rid of it. 814 00:43:56.880 --> 00:44:00.880 Yeah. No, there's no such thing as fully deleted. 815 00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:04.440 If you were to tell a mentee how to set 816 00:44:04.519 --> 00:44:08.239 up a social media account. Because there are times on 817 00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:11.239 in other sports when I when I look at recruits 818 00:44:11.239 --> 00:44:13.599 and things like that, or high school student athletes trying 819 00:44:13.599 --> 00:44:16.079 to get to the next level, they will lay out 820 00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:19.519 all the information in their their bioblast like on the 821 00:44:19.559 --> 00:44:28.880 two hundred and eighty character app. It is literally like name, positions, year, GPA, email, contact. 822 00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:30.639 Info, all of these things. 823 00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:34.239 Is there such a thing as putting too much information, 824 00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:38.519 you know, at the front of some kind of identification 825 00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:40.880 for a coach or something like that. Or is this 826 00:44:41.039 --> 00:44:43.199 where we are right now, you think where I got 827 00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:44.880 to put all this information out there and make it 828 00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:48.400 just as easy for the next level to get in 829 00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:50.840 touch with me. Or do you still hold some information 830 00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:53.519 back just because of how social media can be these days. 831 00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:59.840 That's a good question. I definitely when we talk to 832 00:45:00.239 --> 00:45:04.199 mentees about creating videos to send to college coaches, we 833 00:45:04.320 --> 00:45:09.519 always say, either in the email or the front picture 834 00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:13.639 before your video starts, have some of this information because yes, 835 00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:16.679 GPA is super important. And a coach says sees that 836 00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:18.519 you've got a one point something, he's probably not even 837 00:45:18.519 --> 00:45:22.000 gonna watch the video. No, right, it's not waste my time. 838 00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:25.880 So you know that that is important. I don't think 839 00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:28.800 it needs to be front and center, like in your 840 00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:31.559 face all the time. So that's that can be a 841 00:45:31.599 --> 00:45:35.000 little bit information overload, because that's you don't want to 842 00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:36.760 do that either, right. I think we all OI all 843 00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:39.880 can be like, oh shoot it get bogged down. That's 844 00:45:39.920 --> 00:45:42.159 how I feel at the grocery store sometimes, especially coming 845 00:45:42.199 --> 00:45:44.119 back from Europe, where I was like I was in 846 00:45:44.159 --> 00:45:46.519 the Cereal Aisle. And you know, just after being in 847 00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:48.320 Europe for five years, it was like I came back 848 00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:51.760 and was like, oh my gosh, there's seven hundred cereals 849 00:45:51.760 --> 00:45:56.480 to choose from. I'm overloaded. That's also how I feel 850 00:45:56.480 --> 00:46:01.800 when I go to Golly it's the name of the restaurant. 851 00:46:03.079 --> 00:46:05.599 It's got a whole menu. It's like a book. 852 00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:08.599 I mean that I. 853 00:46:08.519 --> 00:46:10.960 Can't remember that. It's a huge chain. 854 00:46:11.480 --> 00:46:13.880 But if there's a restaurant that's got like seven hundred 855 00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:16.679 things and their menus like an inch and a half thick, 856 00:46:17.559 --> 00:46:18.559 you kind of get lost. 857 00:46:18.760 --> 00:46:21.760 It's like, that's what I'm saying, you get too many choices, 858 00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:25.639 too much information a shutdown. So that's that's what I'm 859 00:46:25.639 --> 00:46:28.079 saying too about information about you know, on the front 860 00:46:28.159 --> 00:46:35.559 right it's cheesecake factory, Thanks Ricky. Too much information right 861 00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:36.719 in your face right away. 862 00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:39.320 Can also be a shutdown, I think. So, yeah, there's 863 00:46:39.360 --> 00:46:41.079 a balance there, but I do think, you know, you 864 00:46:41.119 --> 00:46:45.360 do need to provide some information right of like yeah, 865 00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:47.800 GPA and contact info is probably about it. 866 00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:52.840 Though, when it comes to mentees trying to get in 867 00:46:52.920 --> 00:46:59.119 touch with coaches or whomever at the next level, have 868 00:46:59.239 --> 00:47:02.400 you had the chants to help them navigate those kinds 869 00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:07.239 of things. It's like, okay, initial conversation, it's like what 870 00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:09.639 they see in a relationship or a business relationship. Don't 871 00:47:09.679 --> 00:47:12.719 call on Monday, don't call on Friday. Best business is 872 00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:16.000 always done on Tuesday. Have you gone through those steps 873 00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:19.079 in trying to help your your mentees and the families 874 00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:22.119 navigate Okay, if you're going to reach out, reach out 875 00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:24.800 in this way to this person at this time to 876 00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:27.960 do these things, or is it just kind of like, 877 00:47:28.159 --> 00:47:30.360 all right, we'll just put the information out there and 878 00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:34.000 then let the contacted individual come back to me. It's 879 00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:35.519 like I want the coach to talk to me. Here's 880 00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:37.280 my first piece of info. I'm going to leave it alone. 881 00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:41.559 Or do you encourage mentees after that first contact? Hey, 882 00:47:41.559 --> 00:47:43.519 did you get my tape? How long do you wait 883 00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:46.400 before you get my tape? Those kinds of things Navigating 884 00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:48.360 the next level, I guess is where I'm trying to 885 00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:48.679 get at. 886 00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:55.360 Yeah, we're actually putting together in the very early process, 887 00:47:55.440 --> 00:48:01.039 John putting together a whole playbook for such things. 888 00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:04.199 I interviewed the size of the cheesecake factory. 889 00:48:04.239 --> 00:48:11.760 A menu, I hope not. I hope we can dissect 890 00:48:11.840 --> 00:48:14.519 it a little bit and get down to what's most important. 891 00:48:14.559 --> 00:48:20.400 But I interviewed a D one assistant coach yesterday actually, 892 00:48:20.559 --> 00:48:23.400 and so it's part of the process of like helping 893 00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:28.760 out with what information is important, when to contact, who 894 00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:32.519 to contact, and you know, how to get in touch 895 00:48:32.559 --> 00:48:35.920 with some coaches with the benefit of going to id camps. 896 00:48:36.360 --> 00:48:39.760 You know, this type of information that I think a 897 00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:43.360 lot of people are are looking for and could use. 898 00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:49.480 So that is definitely one of our goals probably for 899 00:48:49.559 --> 00:48:51.599 the first half of this year, is to try and 900 00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:53.880 get more of that information out there. I mean, yes, 901 00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:55.719 we do it right now on a one on one basis, 902 00:48:56.159 --> 00:48:59.079 but to have this information available for those that you know, 903 00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:01.360 we're not meant during full time or something like that, 904 00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:02.679 I think is valuable. 905 00:49:03.039 --> 00:49:07.679 The BGM Handbook for contacting I get it, and I 906 00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:10.440 mean that's a valuable piece of information that folks can have. 907 00:49:10.639 --> 00:49:10.800 You know. 908 00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:14.440 It's like, okay, not all coaches like to be contacted 909 00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:17.599 by email. They like to you know, they like carrier pigeon, 910 00:49:17.679 --> 00:49:19.599 they like to have things in a PDF, they like 911 00:49:19.639 --> 00:49:22.239 to have things mailed, and literally you're having to navigate 912 00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:27.119 individuals who have complete and totally different character traits about contact, 913 00:49:27.519 --> 00:49:31.039 and it's got to be something that you know, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, 914 00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:34.239 eighteen year old athletes they got to know and it 915 00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:36.079 has to be a case by case basis, because you 916 00:49:36.079 --> 00:49:39.639 can't just blanket assume that everybody wants to be contacted 917 00:49:39.679 --> 00:49:41.599 the same way at the same time. Because you get 918 00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:44.639 you get a coach at the wrong day, at the 919 00:49:44.679 --> 00:49:47.239 wrong time. He might have been interested in you as 920 00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:49.960 a talent, but because you took that misstep, that might 921 00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:51.920 be something that pulls them back from any kind of 922 00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:53.079 further contact or interest. 923 00:49:53.679 --> 00:50:00.480 Yeah, for sure, absolutely, And there's still so many college 924 00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:02.920 coaches that have been around for a really long time 925 00:50:03.880 --> 00:50:09.159 that they see things differently than possibly a college coach 926 00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:14.239 who's in his thirties or forties. Right, So, yeah, it's 927 00:50:14.360 --> 00:50:18.800 dealing with these different coaches. It's not all it's not 928 00:50:18.840 --> 00:50:19.360 all the same. 929 00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:23.880 No, before we get you out of here, it is 930 00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:26.320 the last week of the preseason, and I know that 931 00:50:26.360 --> 00:50:27.920 folks just want to get out there and then have 932 00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:28.760 games for real. 933 00:50:28.840 --> 00:50:29.280 They want it. 934 00:50:29.280 --> 00:50:31.480 It's like, look, man, they can see they can see 935 00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:33.800 this first finish line. They're like, can we go ahead 936 00:50:33.840 --> 00:50:37.280 and just get games to play in whatever tournament you're 937 00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:40.079 talking about, are multiple things. When you're getting close to 938 00:50:40.119 --> 00:50:43.239 that finish line and you're getting ready for games for real, 939 00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:45.199 what was the anticipation level like for. 940 00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:52.559 You, Yeah, really excited, but also like, hey, a little 941 00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:55.440 bit more serious and a little bit more okay, this 942 00:50:55.519 --> 00:50:58.360 is crunch time. This is real, Like these points are 943 00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:02.199 just as valuable as points and set so you want 944 00:51:02.199 --> 00:51:06.599 to start off well and be prepared. And you know, 945 00:51:06.719 --> 00:51:10.239 so much of the focus the whole preseason was just 946 00:51:10.880 --> 00:51:14.199 US US US US, and and now all of a sudden, 947 00:51:14.519 --> 00:51:18.000 you know, leading soon leading up to week one, you 948 00:51:18.039 --> 00:51:19.599 have a little bit of focus on the other team 949 00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:21.559 and how are we going to play against this specific 950 00:51:21.639 --> 00:51:25.360 team rather than just us working on our own thing. 951 00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:29.039 So it changes a little bit, but I think it's 952 00:51:29.159 --> 00:51:32.760 it's it's awesome that change and change into the routine 953 00:51:32.760 --> 00:51:35.679 of like, okay, now we're prepping for a game, a 954 00:51:35.719 --> 00:51:38.760 real game that matters, is really cool. 955 00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:42.599 I know that before the next time that we talked 956 00:51:42.639 --> 00:51:44.519 to you, there will have been a home opener down 957 00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:47.119 here in a Jersey that you previewed a while back. 958 00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:54.440 The anticipation for an opening night and a crowd that 959 00:51:54.480 --> 00:51:59.320 you know, that is as ravenous as the seventeens are 960 00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:02.119 look looking forward to a season in general, regardless of 961 00:52:02.119 --> 00:52:05.440 what you were talking about, But what was it like 962 00:52:05.639 --> 00:52:08.480 for you on an opening day and an opening night? 963 00:52:09.519 --> 00:52:13.000 Knowing that the anticipation is there, Knowing that the what 964 00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:15.039 the fans are looking for is they're knowing. 965 00:52:14.760 --> 00:52:16.119 What the players are looking for. 966 00:52:16.280 --> 00:52:24.440 What is opening night like for someone who's never experienced it, Yeah. 967 00:52:24.239 --> 00:52:27.719 You're nervous, you get the goosebumps, you you know, tough 968 00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:29.840 to sleep the night before, Like all that stuff is 969 00:52:29.920 --> 00:52:32.920 normal no matter what age you are. I think that 970 00:52:33.039 --> 00:52:35.679 you really look forward to that first one just because 971 00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:39.079 it's that unknown, right, the anticipation of like, you know, 972 00:52:39.239 --> 00:52:40.679 is it going to be a full house? Is it 973 00:52:40.719 --> 00:52:44.679 going to be so loud? You know? Are we prepared? 974 00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:45.679 Are we ready to go? 975 00:52:46.480 --> 00:52:49.639 You know, there's just so much unknown, and so I 976 00:52:49.679 --> 00:52:51.960 think that brings a little bit of extra nerves. I 977 00:52:51.960 --> 00:52:55.400 think that just those that have played in front of 978 00:52:55.039 --> 00:52:58.079 the crowd before know what it's going to be like, 979 00:52:58.199 --> 00:53:01.719 could be, like, will be like. So they want to 980 00:53:01.719 --> 00:53:03.719 feel that energy, right. That's one of the best parts 981 00:53:03.760 --> 00:53:05.840 of being a professional is playing in front of that 982 00:53:06.039 --> 00:53:09.880 environment and having the people cheer for you, and it's 983 00:53:09.960 --> 00:53:13.000 just amazing. So I think that everybody will be really 984 00:53:13.079 --> 00:53:14.840 looking forward to that. The nerves will be a little 985 00:53:14.840 --> 00:53:19.320 bit high, but that'll be a fun night for sure 986 00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:19.800 for all. 987 00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:23.079 Are you the kind of guy that you know once 988 00:53:23.119 --> 00:53:25.760 the whistle goes you're locked in or is it that 989 00:53:25.800 --> 00:53:29.440 first tackle that you create a moment going the other way? 990 00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:30.280 What kind of a. 991 00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:33.480 Player were you when it came to Day one and 992 00:53:33.679 --> 00:53:36.320 whistles and getting into that zone? 993 00:53:36.920 --> 00:53:42.840 Yeah? No, whistle, whistle blow, because for me, I think 994 00:53:42.840 --> 00:53:46.360 that was important because you don't know that first touch, 995 00:53:46.519 --> 00:53:50.519 the first tackle, the first moment that you're involved could 996 00:53:50.519 --> 00:53:53.360 be super important. So they have to wait for that 997 00:53:53.480 --> 00:53:55.519 moment to then get into the zone. It could be 998 00:53:55.519 --> 00:53:59.119 too late. So you know, for me, it was the whistle, 999 00:53:59.239 --> 00:54:01.519 and it was like, you know, you hear the noise, 1000 00:54:01.559 --> 00:54:04.599 and you hear the the horn, and then you know 1001 00:54:04.639 --> 00:54:06.880 you got the whistle and then it's like, okay, I 1002 00:54:06.880 --> 00:54:10.480 don't hear anything anymore. I just hear like I just 1003 00:54:10.519 --> 00:54:16.519 hear noise or just a background noise. So yeah, opening whistle. 1004 00:54:16.960 --> 00:54:19.320 I was going to ask, it's like, once that whistle goes, 1005 00:54:19.639 --> 00:54:22.800 do you know, like Costner said, and for love of 1006 00:54:22.840 --> 00:54:24.559 the game, you know, it was it released the mechanism 1007 00:54:24.599 --> 00:54:28.119 and then you just heard yourself and then everything else 1008 00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:30.480 was in the background. Was so that was It was 1009 00:54:30.519 --> 00:54:33.639 that way for you, literally whistle and then like white 1010 00:54:33.679 --> 00:54:35.280 noise and focusing on the game. 1011 00:54:35.920 --> 00:54:36.920 Yeah for sure. 1012 00:54:37.159 --> 00:54:40.599 Okay, yes, I didn't know how certain athletes go certain ways, 1013 00:54:40.599 --> 00:54:44.000 but for you it's just whistle goes white noise, locked 1014 00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:48.000 into everything. Are you coming down in eight days or 1015 00:54:48.000 --> 00:54:49.559 are you going to stay up there? What's your plans? 1016 00:54:50.079 --> 00:54:53.360 I'm not getting down for the opener, but I definitely 1017 00:54:53.400 --> 00:54:54.719 will be down to catch a couple of. 1018 00:54:54.719 --> 00:54:58.960 Games because I know you gotta go to the games 1019 00:54:58.960 --> 00:55:01.239 in Rhode Island also in early March, and I know 1020 00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:01.679 you got to. 1021 00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:04.400 Sit there and balance.

I want to know about your club. 1079 00:57:42.400 --> 00:57:43.960 I want to know about what you've seen. I want 1080 00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:45.960 to know about what you're looking for in this last weekend, 1081 00:57:46.199 --> 00:57:49.920 because next week it's on getting ready for the Sprint 1082 00:57:49.920 --> 00:57:53.079 with multiple competitions, the Triple C for those who are 1083 00:57:53.079 --> 00:57:56.880 in it MLS regular season, League's Cup, which will be 1084 00:57:56.960 --> 00:58:01.280 concurrent with what's going on in the regular season. It's 1085 00:58:01.320 --> 00:58:03.559 not just going to be that gap in the schedule 1086 00:58:03.559 --> 00:58:08.400 where it's an hour of nothingness a month of nothingness. 1087 00:58:08.840 --> 00:58:11.679 So everything's concurrent games in the middle of the week 1088 00:58:12.199 --> 00:58:14.639 and we'll see what goes on from there. Okay, now, 1089 00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:16.679 time to say hi to everybody who is in this morning, 1090 00:58:17.239 --> 00:58:21.639 and let's see. So we got to let's see Alex 1091 00:58:21.719 --> 00:58:28.679 and Ricky and four card ropes. Let's see. Okay, so 1092 00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:33.000 Ricky with his thoughts. Ricky thinks that sleash is the 1093 00:58:33.079 --> 00:58:35.000 lynch pin to the team if you can hold it 1094 00:58:35.039 --> 00:58:37.480 down in the middle, especially in transition from defense to 1095 00:58:37.519 --> 00:58:39.920 offense vice versa. Going to see something special. This year, 1096 00:58:39.960 --> 00:58:41.960 we caught up with Kevin Egan. Kevin Egan crashed the 1097 00:58:41.960 --> 00:58:46.079 party yesterday before rehearsals up at the Old up at 1098 00:58:46.119 --> 00:58:50.639 the Old Haunt for him where they're now in Stanford, Connecticut, 1099 00:58:50.679 --> 00:58:54.880 at the w at the WWE studios for this season 1100 00:58:55.039 --> 00:58:58.159 for MLS three sixty and all of the Apple TV programming. 1101 00:58:58.199 --> 00:59:03.079 But the six was where Kevin was looking. And you 1102 00:59:03.079 --> 00:59:05.599 can catch that in our shorts on all of our 1103 00:59:05.639 --> 00:59:08.519 social media. But Kevin Egan was saying the six, and 1104 00:59:08.599 --> 00:59:12.239 so Ricky's saying it's Bartik Sleish and so that's what, Uh, 1105 00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:15.639 that's what everybody's hanging out, Yeah, with the kit with 1106 00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:18.400 the Kit release today, David, take the little one and 1107 00:59:18.440 --> 00:59:21.079 hang out of Atlantic Station for the KIT drop. You know, 1108 00:59:21.159 --> 00:59:23.760 getting first in line wouldn't be a bad idea. Uh, 1109 00:59:24.119 --> 00:59:25.960 maybe you can go to publics and get some shopping done. 1110 00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:29.000 There are some pretty cool restaurants. Uh, there is some space, 1111 00:59:29.159 --> 00:59:31.840 you know, team storage where you can kind of hang out. 1112 00:59:31.840 --> 00:59:33.719 But it literally it just depends on how cold you 1113 00:59:33.760 --> 00:59:37.920 want to get. So uh, that for me is the 1114 00:59:37.920 --> 00:59:42.039 big thing I would be, you know, in in that 1115 00:59:42.079 --> 00:59:46.360 particular vein. I don't know, but the thing and this 1116 00:59:46.559 --> 00:59:49.719 was the thing for me. And I learned this the 1117 00:59:49.800 --> 00:59:50.239 hard way. 1118 00:59:51.119 --> 00:59:53.639 Uh. I picked up and I had and. 1119 00:59:53.599 --> 00:59:55.719 I've got to get I have to get the the 1120 00:59:55.800 --> 00:59:58.760 Miguel almeroon T shirt because I bought that, but I'd 1121 00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:02.800 also bought the Fea before the season was over. 1122 01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:07.559 And I learned that at the store. 1123 01:00:08.360 --> 01:00:10.199 And you can't just uh, and this is something, this 1124 01:00:10.239 --> 01:00:12.800 is a public service announcement for everybody that goes to 1125 01:00:12.840 --> 01:00:15.800 the store. You can't just if you're gonna go pick 1126 01:00:15.800 --> 01:00:23.119 something up at the store, have your transaction number ready 1127 01:00:23.239 --> 01:00:26.159 with the with the store. And it's like traditionally is 1128 01:00:26.199 --> 01:00:30.360 like a four to four number transaction I went with. 1129 01:00:31.079 --> 01:00:33.039 I went in the first time and I was like, okay, 1130 01:00:33.079 --> 01:00:35.880 it's me and here's my idea. And they're like, well, 1131 01:00:35.880 --> 01:00:38.960 what's your what's your transaction number? Look, I don't know, Okay, 1132 01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:40.719 we need that. We don't do it with names, we 1133 01:00:40.719 --> 01:00:43.679 do it with transaction numbers. So take your transaction number 1134 01:00:44.360 --> 01:00:49.159 with you in these situations. Took me two months literally 1135 01:00:49.199 --> 01:00:52.519 to find my transaction number to get my FEA T shirts, 1136 01:00:52.679 --> 01:00:55.360 which I now finally have and now that I know 1137 01:00:55.440 --> 01:00:59.039 how the system is, and I still don't get the 1138 01:00:59.119 --> 01:00:59.840 return email. 1139 01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:02.719 I don't know. That's probably a glitch in the system too. 1140 01:01:03.239 --> 01:01:06.679 They tell you when your item is in, and I've 1141 01:01:06.880 --> 01:01:09.280 not gotten those emails in the path. But if you're 1142 01:01:09.280 --> 01:01:11.679 going to get something at the store, take your transaction 1143 01:01:11.920 --> 01:01:15.719 number with you so you're not just freezing and standing 1144 01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:21.880 waiting for a pickup. Transaction number, transaction number, transaction number, take. 1145 01:01:21.719 --> 01:01:22.239 Those with you. 1146 01:01:23.159 --> 01:01:25.599 If you're going to go and put do anything at 1147 01:01:25.639 --> 01:01:29.079 the Atlanta United Store Atlantic station. So David, if you're going, 1148 01:01:29.159 --> 01:01:33.880 take the handwarmers and just be warm. And Ricky absolutely 1149 01:01:34.639 --> 01:01:37.320 is jacked up about seeing everybody. And that's the other 1150 01:01:37.360 --> 01:01:41.039 part too, And that was one of the things that 1151 01:01:42.840 --> 01:01:47.960 with this club, and frankly with what we've been doing 1152 01:01:47.960 --> 01:01:52.719 here at the network, going and seeing the seventeens, going 1153 01:01:52.719 --> 01:01:54.280 to see each and every one of you, going out 1154 01:01:54.280 --> 01:01:57.039 into the community, seeing each and everyone again, saying hi, 1155 01:01:57.480 --> 01:02:00.679 not just during the season, but when you out casually 1156 01:02:00.679 --> 01:02:03.639 and you run into somebody, when we go to other 1157 01:02:03.719 --> 01:02:06.760 towns and we have the events there, and they are 1158 01:02:06.800 --> 01:02:09.480 thankful that you know that you come and see them 1159 01:02:09.480 --> 01:02:10.960 when you go to a high school game, and you 1160 01:02:11.000 --> 01:02:14.639 go to a town outside the Atlanta area and you 1161 01:02:14.679 --> 01:02:17.519 come and you visit and you say hi, and everyone's 1162 01:02:17.599 --> 01:02:19.280 great with conversation, happy to see. 1163 01:02:20.079 --> 01:02:21.719 Those kinds of things are really cool. 1164 01:02:22.639 --> 01:02:26.800 Along that point to what Ricky is saying, that it's 1165 01:02:26.840 --> 01:02:29.159 just really cool to see everybody, and for me, it 1166 01:02:29.280 --> 01:02:31.760 is evolved into something that's twelve months out of the year. 1167 01:02:32.679 --> 01:02:34.639 Run into somebody at the store, high you talk Atlanta, 1168 01:02:34.719 --> 01:02:38.280 knighted for a while, run into you know, somebody you 1169 01:02:38.320 --> 01:02:41.000 know at a random concert or something like that, and 1170 01:02:41.000 --> 01:02:42.400 then you'll sit there and they'll get way. 1171 01:02:42.719 --> 01:02:44.639 You're walking one way there, walking the other. You wave. 1172 01:02:44.719 --> 01:02:47.760 You know, those kinds of things. The interaction that starts 1173 01:02:47.840 --> 01:02:52.840 during soccer season, that evolves over twelve months, that to 1174 01:02:52.880 --> 01:02:54.760 me has been the cool part of all of this 1175 01:02:54.920 --> 01:02:58.599 since we were getting close to your number eight for 1176 01:02:58.679 --> 01:03:01.719 the State Network. So just the interaction that has started 1177 01:03:01.719 --> 01:03:04.400 with soccer season and evolved over a twelve month period, 1178 01:03:04.400 --> 01:03:07.760 that's been cool. Ropes is saying, put Mickey on your 1179 01:03:07.760 --> 01:03:13.719 fantasy team. Nico said, Pedro de la Vega be an 1180 01:03:13.760 --> 01:03:17.119 interesting midfield for fantasy, and we got to figure out 1181 01:03:17.199 --> 01:03:19.519 if in fact, there is going to be a fantasy 1182 01:03:19.559 --> 01:03:22.199 team this year, if anybody has gotten a note from 1183 01:03:22.280 --> 01:03:25.079 Jason Right and the Jason Right Agency about fantasy or 1184 01:03:25.119 --> 01:03:26.639 if we have to figure out how to start it ourselves, 1185 01:03:26.679 --> 01:03:30.760 because remember we're eight days away. So Jason Right and 1186 01:03:30.760 --> 01:03:33.079 the Jason Wright Agency have done really cool work with 1187 01:03:33.159 --> 01:03:35.400 us in the past about the fantasy league here at SDH. 1188 01:03:35.559 --> 01:03:37.480 We got to figure out if we're doing one because 1189 01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:41.440 we only got a week that kind of thing. So Rich, 1190 01:03:41.480 --> 01:03:45.039 Happy parade day, even though it's very cold out, so 1191 01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:49.320 he's going to go watch on his television, Absolutely true. 1192 01:03:51.079 --> 01:03:55.199 May your parade be safe, May everybody stay warm. What 1193 01:03:55.360 --> 01:03:59.039 day is prediction Day? Aren't they all prediction days? 1194 01:03:59.119 --> 01:04:04.079 Ricky? They are all prediction days. I think with. 1195 01:04:04.159 --> 01:04:07.880 Everybody that I'm aiming to have on the show next week, 1196 01:04:08.000 --> 01:04:11.320 it might end up just being a week of addressing 1197 01:04:11.400 --> 01:04:15.920 predictions as folks drop by. So that might be the 1198 01:04:15.960 --> 01:04:20.159 way that it goes with predictions, and such might be 1199 01:04:20.239 --> 01:04:24.519 just it might be prediction week, might be prediction week. 1200 01:04:25.320 --> 01:04:26.639 So we'll keep an eye on all of that. 1201 01:04:27.400 --> 01:04:31.599 Ricky digs the Galaxy kit as the ones that are 1202 01:04:31.599 --> 01:04:35.639 being released. Ricky had does admit However, Seattle and RSL 1203 01:04:35.639 --> 01:04:38.400 are very strong. I don't know Ricky was talking about 1204 01:04:38.440 --> 01:04:41.559 Parky and what Parky was talking about with the USL, 1205 01:04:42.280 --> 01:04:45.440 and so it's gonna be something over the next couple 1206 01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:48.159 of years. And like I said, we probably once we 1207 01:04:48.159 --> 01:04:49.920 say hi to everybody and get into the rhythm, we'll 1208 01:04:49.920 --> 01:04:52.840 go back over who's in the championship and what the 1209 01:04:52.880 --> 01:04:55.239 capacities are, and who has to do some building, and 1210 01:04:55.239 --> 01:04:57.119 who would have to be prepared and who might have 1211 01:04:57.239 --> 01:05:02.159 to move those kinds of things. Harry admitted yesterday in 1212 01:05:02.199 --> 01:05:04.079 the twitch pitch the DAYA San Antonio would have to 1213 01:05:04.119 --> 01:05:06.119 either expand it would have to expand their building at 1214 01:05:06.119 --> 01:05:10.320 Toyota as we know at Toyota, or they might have 1215 01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:14.199 to move intoors of the Alamodome. So I mean that 1216 01:05:14.199 --> 01:05:15.880 that's these are things that are going to have to 1217 01:05:15.880 --> 01:05:21.440 be considered by this league going forward, Stadium capacities, possible 1218 01:05:21.480 --> 01:05:28.639 expansions and where you're play, adding to the infrastructure questions 1219 01:05:28.760 --> 01:05:35.199 of the capacities that you have. Now actually, shoot, since 1220 01:05:35.239 --> 01:05:37.440 we're here, hang on, let me get into the let 1221 01:05:37.440 --> 01:05:41.079 me get go back to the stadium capacities. And this 1222 01:05:41.159 --> 01:05:48.039 is another thing, uh that you have to consider about 1223 01:05:48.280 --> 01:05:55.559 all of these venues and the capital outlay that would 1224 01:05:55.639 --> 01:06:01.079 have to be there just to become compliant with Division 1225 01:06:01.159 --> 01:06:08.159 one standards. You're talking fifteen thousand and so right now, 1226 01:06:08.679 --> 01:06:10.880 And I'm gonna go to our friends at transfer Market 1227 01:06:10.880 --> 01:06:14.599 and we'll see if they have the intel in one place. Yes, 1228 01:06:14.679 --> 01:06:18.840 except and continue. It's like my computer rebooted overnight. Uh okay, 1229 01:06:20.559 --> 01:06:26.559 Protective in. Protective is in obviously with a capacity of 1230 01:06:26.599 --> 01:06:33.880 forty seven to one. If the MIAMIFC continues as a franchise, 1231 01:06:34.400 --> 01:06:38.440 I have no information to say otherwise, but they're not drawn, 1232 01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:41.960 and they've played games on the campus of FIU at 1233 01:06:42.000 --> 01:06:44.840 the FIU Soccer Stadium and not at Ricard what used 1234 01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:46.719 to be Ricardo Silva the football stadium. 1235 01:06:48.280 --> 01:06:51.320 They would work. It's twenty thousand. 1236 01:06:52.239 --> 01:06:56.480 Lynn Family has seating at eleven seven, but a capacity 1237 01:06:56.480 --> 01:06:58.880 of over fifteen, so they could add seats if they wanted. 1238 01:06:58.920 --> 01:07:06.199 To the coliseum for Oakland Roots, You're fine, And I 1239 01:07:06.239 --> 01:07:09.360 personally hope that the Roots sell out every game that 1240 01:07:09.400 --> 01:07:11.920 they have there because of how but they've got to 1241 01:07:11.960 --> 01:07:15.559 take care of the raccoons at the coliseum. But I 1242 01:07:15.599 --> 01:07:18.800 love the idea of the Oakland Coliseum still being a 1243 01:07:18.800 --> 01:07:21.599 part of the fabric of sports there in the Bay. 1244 01:07:23.199 --> 01:07:25.840 Isotopes Park needs some extra seats, but they're only at 1245 01:07:25.840 --> 01:07:27.760 thirteen to five. They can make it to fifteen easy 1246 01:07:28.679 --> 01:07:33.480 cash men seats ninety three capacity twelve five, so they 1247 01:07:33.480 --> 01:07:35.599 have standing room. That gets them there. They might have 1248 01:07:35.639 --> 01:07:38.159 to add something. And this is where from here down 1249 01:07:38.599 --> 01:07:42.599 folks are going to have to add seats. Indianapolis just 1250 01:07:42.639 --> 01:07:48.320 over twelve, Sacramento eleven and a half, Phoenix Rising, and 1251 01:07:49.280 --> 01:07:54.880 of WAKEMD, they're at ten. El Paso ninety five hundred. 1252 01:07:54.960 --> 01:07:58.519 That's with standing room. Toyto Toyota Field, Harry, you had 1253 01:07:58.519 --> 01:08:03.239 it yesterday, eighty three, eighty two ninety six, Colorado Springs 1254 01:08:03.239 --> 01:08:05.280 Widenerfields at eight. They'd have to double their size if 1255 01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:09.400 they were interested. Keyworth seventy nine thirty three. But you 1256 01:08:09.480 --> 01:08:11.519 know that they are looking to build a new stadium 1257 01:08:11.519 --> 01:08:13.920 on the old hospital property, so they probably could make 1258 01:08:13.960 --> 01:08:17.920 it fifteen and may be fine. One ok is halfway 1259 01:08:17.920 --> 01:08:21.199 there at seventy eight hundred, lex SC seventy five hundred. 1260 01:08:21.239 --> 01:08:25.000 They'd have to double capacity. Al Lang seventy two twenty seven. 1261 01:08:25.000 --> 01:08:29.960 They'd have to double Cardinal at at you see Monterey 1262 01:08:29.960 --> 01:08:34.039 Bay six thousand. You're playing on a college campus, you're 1263 01:08:34.039 --> 01:08:38.119 probably gonna have to find your own facility. Burn right 1264 01:08:38.119 --> 01:08:40.279 now at fifty two to fifty two, but Tidewater Landing 1265 01:08:40.319 --> 01:08:41.840 is on its way, and I think it is slightly 1266 01:08:41.880 --> 01:08:46.239 more than that. Patriots point five thousand, high Mark listed 1267 01:08:46.239 --> 01:08:49.960 at five, Irvines listed at five, Segra's listed at five. 1268 01:08:52.159 --> 01:08:54.239 So even if those and. 1269 01:08:54.159 --> 01:08:58.880 That's if those clubs were interested, if any of those 1270 01:08:58.880 --> 01:09:03.840 clubs were interested, half of that run, you'd have to 1271 01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:12.760 either expand your building, tripling your capacity, or find another venue. 1272 01:09:13.000 --> 01:09:14.479 So there's capital outlay in that. 1273 01:09:15.760 --> 01:09:17.520 It's a lot of things that folks have to consider 1274 01:09:17.560 --> 01:09:20.479 when it comes to this idea that the USL has 1275 01:09:20.479 --> 01:09:26.279 announced yesterday through Paul McDonough's interview in Nick Papadekus's press release, it's, 1276 01:09:26.359 --> 01:09:30.920 like I said, it's all of these things that we've 1277 01:09:30.960 --> 01:09:33.600 seen right now in the USLLL announced what they announced yesterday, 1278 01:09:34.960 --> 01:09:39.359 even looking at it from a capital outlay perspective, for 1279 01:09:39.439 --> 01:09:43.680 the teams that are currently USL Championship, if they want 1280 01:09:43.720 --> 01:09:46.600 to take that step to Division one, that's what they'd 1281 01:09:46.640 --> 01:09:51.720 have to do. Just from a stadium perspective, and we 1282 01:09:51.800 --> 01:09:53.319 know how stadiums ain't cheap. 1283 01:09:55.319 --> 01:09:56.159 I'm intrigued. 1284 01:09:57.119 --> 01:09:59.479 They said a twelve to fourteen team league, twenty six 1285 01:09:59.800 --> 01:10:01.800 seve twenty seven to twenty eight I think was what 1286 01:10:01.920 --> 01:10:02.960 was said in the release. 1287 01:10:04.319 --> 01:10:04.920 So we'll see. 1288 01:10:05.600 --> 01:10:07.560 But there's a lot of there's a lot of money 1289 01:10:07.560 --> 01:10:14.119 that has to be found trying I'm trying to figure 1290 01:10:14.119 --> 01:10:17.359 out the right way to say it. To expand your footprint, 1291 01:10:18.000 --> 01:10:19.359 it's going to have to be a lot of capital 1292 01:10:19.399 --> 01:10:23.600 outlay if you're going to have any of those teams 1293 01:10:23.640 --> 01:10:26.199 that we talked about in the lower half of the 1294 01:10:26.239 --> 01:10:28.960 capacity table, if they were interested. 1295 01:10:28.640 --> 01:10:30.439 In going into the new D one League. 1296 01:10:31.600 --> 01:10:32.880 There's a lot of thought that's going to have to 1297 01:10:32.920 --> 01:10:38.079 go into this by the USL, by its franchises. What 1298 01:10:38.119 --> 01:10:39.560 do they want to do and do they how do 1299 01:10:39.640 --> 01:10:42.159 they want to be, how do they want to be 1300 01:10:43.439 --> 01:10:46.640 in that Division one. So, once again, like I said, 1301 01:10:46.680 --> 01:10:48.840 I'm intrigued. I want to see the next steps. They've 1302 01:10:48.880 --> 01:10:53.560 got a runway. But you know me, I always sit there. 1303 01:10:53.720 --> 01:10:56.319 My first thought is, okay, I look at the investments 1304 01:10:56.800 --> 01:10:59.520 and what you have to do to invest into something 1305 01:10:59.560 --> 01:11:03.399 to get it, to get it to an endpoint, and 1306 01:11:03.479 --> 01:11:06.920 even just from getting people to sit down. We just 1307 01:11:06.960 --> 01:11:11.359 went through the challenges of the current USL Championship rosters 1308 01:11:11.800 --> 01:11:14.840 and positions, and maybe Memphis comes back in if they 1309 01:11:14.880 --> 01:11:18.079 want to go back and play at AutoZone. If Santa 1310 01:11:18.119 --> 01:11:20.319 Barbara was engaged, they could be because they're playing I 1311 01:11:20.359 --> 01:11:25.399 think at a twenty seven thousand seat stadium. So there's 1312 01:11:25.520 --> 01:11:27.840 a lot to think about here and I want to 1313 01:11:27.920 --> 01:11:29.760 see how the USL proceeds. 1314 01:11:30.840 --> 01:11:32.560 So that's basically it. 1315 01:11:32.640 --> 01:11:35.239 Like I said the McDonough interview with Tenorio yesterday in 1316 01:11:35.279 --> 01:11:38.119 The Athletic, plus the press release that was put out, 1317 01:11:38.159 --> 01:11:40.760 So your favorite club in USL Championship, I'm sure has 1318 01:11:40.760 --> 01:11:44.600 put out a version of that press release. And we 1319 01:11:44.680 --> 01:11:48.960 know where the USL wants to go. So we'll see 1320 01:11:48.960 --> 01:11:50.800 what the USL has in mind over the next couple 1321 01:11:50.800 --> 01:11:52.000 of years. 1322 01:11:52.560 --> 01:11:54.800 Harry, Oh, actually, wait a second. 1323 01:11:54.840 --> 01:11:59.720 Alex says that Seattle's Salish Sea kit number one underline 1324 01:11:59.720 --> 01:12:02.239 three times RSL is at number two. So we're going 1325 01:12:02.319 --> 01:12:03.680 to be going back and forth. What's on your mind 1326 01:12:03.680 --> 01:12:05.640 with Atlanty and ied are your favorite club hanging into 1327 01:12:05.640 --> 01:12:11.640 the last preseason game. What's going on in your mind period? 1328 01:12:11.800 --> 01:12:15.560 And obviously Jerseys concerns for your club, what you've seen 1329 01:12:15.560 --> 01:12:17.600 from your club, what you're anticipating from your club, what 1330 01:12:17.680 --> 01:12:20.079 you look forward to here in this last weekend. Everything's 1331 01:12:20.079 --> 01:12:22.880 on the table here on a Friday. And speaking of 1332 01:12:22.920 --> 01:12:26.920 everything being here on the table, we welcome in Jared Smith. Jared, 1333 01:12:26.960 --> 01:12:29.680 it's a Friday, so that means that absolutely everything is 1334 01:12:29.760 --> 01:12:34.279 on everyone's mind and we're going everywhere from the USL 1335 01:12:34.319 --> 01:12:38.079 announcement yesterday to the Jersey releases and now we're debating 1336 01:12:38.079 --> 01:12:40.439 whether it's Seattle who had the best one, LAG who 1337 01:12:40.439 --> 01:12:43.079 had the best one, RSL who had the best one, 1338 01:12:43.439 --> 01:12:45.960 and Atlanta United heading into this last weekend. So where 1339 01:12:45.960 --> 01:12:46.880 do you want to start, sir? 1340 01:12:48.279 --> 01:12:50.479 What were you talking about most recently? We just started there. 1341 01:12:50.920 --> 01:12:53.319 I'm very flexible in this. I have my opinions on 1342 01:12:53.359 --> 01:12:54.359 the shirts, so. 1343 01:12:54.359 --> 01:12:58.279 Sure, Okay, Well, I was just discussing briefly yesterday the 1344 01:12:58.319 --> 01:13:01.600 announcement from USL about wanting to start and go Division one, 1345 01:13:02.279 --> 01:13:05.279 and basically I was looking at it strictly from a 1346 01:13:05.319 --> 01:13:08.399 financial standpoint and a stadium standpoint, because half of the 1347 01:13:08.439 --> 01:13:10.239 clubs would have to get to fifteen thousand in their 1348 01:13:10.279 --> 01:13:13.039 current points. Half of the clubs would have to expand 1349 01:13:13.039 --> 01:13:16.640 their capacities to literally twice the size of what their 1350 01:13:16.640 --> 01:13:18.920 stadiums are, if not three times, just to get to 1351 01:13:18.960 --> 01:13:21.720 that fifteen thousand markers. So me intrigued by the economics 1352 01:13:21.760 --> 01:13:23.039 of it all. I want to see where it goes. 1353 01:13:23.600 --> 01:13:24.119 I do too. 1354 01:13:25.680 --> 01:13:33.479 It's a noble idea, being like being a division one 1355 01:13:33.760 --> 01:13:39.520 doesn't doesn't change anything for me. Like I think it's cool, 1356 01:13:41.760 --> 01:13:46.560 but it's not like it's not the bollendo, right, this 1357 01:13:46.880 --> 01:13:50.319 shouldn't be like this isn't a you made it game 1358 01:13:50.399 --> 01:13:52.359 that you have won the game, you know, please play 1359 01:13:52.359 --> 01:13:57.800 on new game. Plus, Yes, there's layers to it, man, Like, 1360 01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:01.560 how are like can the stadium? Can you get the 1361 01:14:01.600 --> 01:14:02.760 stadiums to that level? 1362 01:14:02.840 --> 01:14:03.119 Can? 1363 01:14:03.680 --> 01:14:05.880 Is the funding going to be there? Is the support 1364 01:14:06.000 --> 01:14:09.359 going to consistently be there? And I don't mean just 1365 01:14:09.479 --> 01:14:15.960 the very loud people who d e t as we 1366 01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:18.319 spell his name backwards as not as to not beetlejuice 1367 01:14:18.359 --> 01:14:19.439 his existence. 1368 01:14:20.600 --> 01:14:25.199 Warning, not like the very. 1369 01:14:25.079 --> 01:14:27.279 Loud people who want to yell about pro rail and 1370 01:14:27.319 --> 01:14:31.439 anti melas like I'm all for competition on this as 1371 01:14:31.479 --> 01:14:33.840 long as you're going to be able to do it sustainably. 1372 01:14:33.880 --> 01:14:36.760 And that's always been the problem is sustainability. Like it 1373 01:14:36.800 --> 01:14:38.760 took MLS a long time to get where it is 1374 01:14:38.840 --> 01:14:42.439 right now. It's not perfect, but any stretch of the 1375 01:14:42.520 --> 01:14:48.840 imagination and I'm sure USL won't be either. Like I 1376 01:14:48.880 --> 01:14:53.399 think Louisville is the easy like layup here like that 1377 01:14:53.439 --> 01:14:55.800 can be one of your crown jewels easily. I think 1378 01:14:55.840 --> 01:15:00.960 Oaklham would be an interesting one. Can you get the 1379 01:15:01.000 --> 01:15:02.840 funding in place? Can you get disability in place? Can 1380 01:15:02.840 --> 01:15:05.079 you get this this, the not this that? Can you 1381 01:15:05.079 --> 01:15:08.920 get the facilities in place? And go back to apparently 1382 01:15:08.920 --> 01:15:11.920 the other day, uh the Dex McCarty was sitting at 1383 01:15:11.920 --> 01:15:13.399 an airport and decided to do an anima. 1384 01:15:13.760 --> 01:15:16.439 Yes, yeah, Kevin was right next to him. Yeah, yes 1385 01:15:16.479 --> 01:15:16.760 he was. 1386 01:15:17.920 --> 01:15:19.640 And one of the things he talks about is facilities. 1387 01:15:20.319 --> 01:15:22.159 And when we're talking about facilities, we're talking about training, 1388 01:15:22.239 --> 01:15:26.000 we're talking about recovery, we're talking about the building. 1389 01:15:26.079 --> 01:15:27.319 Basically, infrastructure. 1390 01:15:27.880 --> 01:15:30.359 Is your infrastructure going to be good enough? 1391 01:15:31.680 --> 01:15:32.960 I don't know, mm hmm. 1392 01:15:34.199 --> 01:15:36.399 Is your infrastructure gonna be good enough to lure people? 1393 01:15:36.399 --> 01:15:38.359 Are you going to be paying guys enough to lure 1394 01:15:39.039 --> 01:15:42.840 people and to keep them? And do you have the 1395 01:15:42.880 --> 01:15:46.960 structures in place to continue in again, lovels the outlier 1396 01:15:46.960 --> 01:15:52.319 here levels, but a machine to continue to develop players. 1397 01:15:52.760 --> 01:15:54.720 That is that is That is where my brain is 1398 01:15:54.760 --> 01:15:58.800 at with this, because there's there's layers to it. Can 1399 01:15:58.840 --> 01:16:03.520 they do it at Absolutely? They make it work. Absolutely, 1400 01:16:04.680 --> 01:16:07.960 It'll be tricky, Yeah, it will be. That's okay. Again, 1401 01:16:08.000 --> 01:16:12.079 they're gonna go through growing pains, and as they go 1402 01:16:12.119 --> 01:16:18.680 through growing pains, I don't think that we should damn 1403 01:16:18.760 --> 01:16:22.159 them for going through growing pains. When they get things 1404 01:16:22.159 --> 01:16:23.800 wrong or where they get things right, it doesn't mean 1405 01:16:24.960 --> 01:16:26.840 everyone else sucks and they're great. And when they get 1406 01:16:26.840 --> 01:16:28.399 things wrong, it doesn't mean that everyone else is great 1407 01:16:28.439 --> 01:16:30.960 and they suck. It will be La, there's gonna be 1408 01:16:31.920 --> 01:16:33.880 It's gonna be a grind man. That's all I got 1409 01:16:33.880 --> 01:16:34.239 for it. 1410 01:16:34.439 --> 01:16:38.039 Yeah, next thing on the board, we'll build to Atlanta 1411 01:16:38.079 --> 01:16:41.640 United for the rest of the program. Jerseys, And we 1412 01:16:41.680 --> 01:16:45.439 seem to have a debate among RSL L A G. 1413 01:16:46.399 --> 01:16:52.840 Seattle and anybody else that's out there. Atlanta's because yeah, 1414 01:16:53.119 --> 01:16:55.880 I like the Sailors Sea kid and we do have 1415 01:16:55.920 --> 01:17:00.479 some Salis sea gear here in the house. So it's 1416 01:17:00.680 --> 01:17:03.760 RSL It's Seattle L A G. Atlanta said at the 1417 01:17:03.800 --> 01:17:06.479 end of their promotional video two dot one four two five. 1418 01:17:06.560 --> 01:17:08.960 So I imagine that that is when the release date is 1419 01:17:08.960 --> 01:17:10.359 going to be for theirs for this year. 1420 01:17:14.159 --> 01:17:16.560 Happy Jersey Release Day. 1421 01:17:17.079 --> 01:17:21.239 Yeah, Happy Jersey Release Day. Let's see what it looks like. 1422 01:17:21.680 --> 01:17:26.960 We have a general idea. I'm a firm believer that 1423 01:17:27.159 --> 01:17:29.600 you know, like I'm a firm believer that you have 1424 01:17:29.680 --> 01:17:33.560 your home kit that is generally tried and true. Your 1425 01:17:33.640 --> 01:17:36.359 road kit is where you get a little you played 1426 01:17:36.399 --> 01:17:39.600 with it, you color within the lines, but maybe you 1427 01:17:39.640 --> 01:17:42.800 are changing a couple of colors up here. The third 1428 01:17:42.920 --> 01:17:46.680 kit is where you have taken all of the old 1429 01:17:46.720 --> 01:17:50.960 records off the shelf, you have broken them, covered them 1430 01:17:50.960 --> 01:17:53.760 in gorilla glue, and molded them into some sort of 1431 01:17:54.840 --> 01:18:03.840 like Lovecraftian monstrosity that you slap on everything. Commit Well, 1432 01:18:03.880 --> 01:18:05.319 that's how we end up with the Foal four kit. 1433 01:18:05.840 --> 01:18:09.119 And it was beautiful, and the Foal four kit grew 1434 01:18:09.159 --> 01:18:11.760 on everybody as it damn well should have. Its great 1435 01:18:12.479 --> 01:18:14.439 But that is what the third kid is for. 1436 01:18:15.399 --> 01:18:15.880 Mm hmmm. 1437 01:18:16.600 --> 01:18:18.960 So let's see what it looks like for Atlanta in 1438 01:18:19.000 --> 01:18:22.439 the finished product, like the details of it. As my 1439 01:18:22.479 --> 01:18:25.560 wife would always say, Uh, the sports is just like 1440 01:18:26.119 --> 01:18:28.199 so many of what we do in sports is just fashion. 1441 01:18:28.680 --> 01:18:29.199 Mm hmmm. 1442 01:18:29.960 --> 01:18:32.399 And and and you all be a lot happier if 1443 01:18:32.439 --> 01:18:34.000 you'll just admit that it's just fashion. 1444 01:18:37.159 --> 01:18:39.720 Yeah, considering all of my all of the things that 1445 01:18:39.800 --> 01:18:42.600 I buy, You ain't kidding, brother, Yeah. 1446 01:18:47.479 --> 01:18:51.319 Yeah, So yeah, that's I. I liked the R S 1447 01:18:51.439 --> 01:18:55.039 L one just because there was a cool little First 1448 01:18:55.039 --> 01:18:56.680 of all, not enough people do the checkerboard, and the 1449 01:18:56.760 --> 01:19:01.039 checker boards are risky thing to do, but to do 1450 01:19:01.079 --> 01:19:05.039 the checkerboard there is interesting because if we don't know 1451 01:19:05.319 --> 01:19:08.119 salt the and go find go find the old episode 1452 01:19:08.119 --> 01:19:09.960 of ninety percent of Visible where they talk about the 1453 01:19:10.000 --> 01:19:15.399 layout of Salt Lake that it was designed with unique dimensions. 1454 01:19:15.399 --> 01:19:20.000 So like your city blocks are huge, so you have 1455 01:19:20.039 --> 01:19:22.479 these big checkerboards that kind of represent the weird city 1456 01:19:22.520 --> 01:19:25.079 blocks that they have in the grid in the downtown area. 1457 01:19:25.199 --> 01:19:27.479 So it's it's kind of a cool. It's cool somebody 1458 01:19:27.479 --> 01:19:30.279 in an integrated checkerboard because we need more checkerboard, just 1459 01:19:30.319 --> 01:19:35.079 like we need more sashes. Demark Crawlock should have gotten 1460 01:19:35.079 --> 01:19:38.439 a chance with that. You need more checkerboards the same 1461 01:19:38.439 --> 01:19:41.319 we need more sashes. And it works for them because 1462 01:19:41.359 --> 01:19:44.039 they have a unique checkerboard layout as a city in 1463 01:19:44.079 --> 01:19:44.720 and of itself. 1464 01:19:46.000 --> 01:19:46.520 Yeah, so. 1465 01:19:48.439 --> 01:19:53.239 I am intrigued, and I will probably end up buying 1466 01:19:53.319 --> 01:19:56.079 something and the boss will probably wear it long before 1467 01:19:57.479 --> 01:20:00.439 I do or anything like that. So, uh, I'm now 1468 01:20:00.439 --> 01:20:06.520 officially clicking on the Okay, so five stripes, one kit. 1469 01:20:07.800 --> 01:20:14.399 We have people running around and people cheering and looking. 1470 01:20:14.600 --> 01:20:16.640 I'd love to know where they shot this as I 1471 01:20:16.640 --> 01:20:18.239 sit here and look at it for the first time 1472 01:20:18.720 --> 01:20:22.439 that extra little session. And by the way, Emory Healthcare 1473 01:20:22.560 --> 01:20:25.600 was named as a founding partner for a MBS and 1474 01:20:25.640 --> 01:20:28.199 they it looks like they're going to be on a shoulder, 1475 01:20:28.880 --> 01:20:30.399 so we'll see what it looks like there. 1476 01:20:32.640 --> 01:20:34.239 We got a lot of a lot of folks. 1477 01:20:34.319 --> 01:20:36.680 What I wanted to do going into the last exhibition, 1478 01:20:36.720 --> 01:20:40.079 last exhibition plus preseason game of the year. I wanted 1479 01:20:40.119 --> 01:20:43.680 to just kind of gauge where folks were and what 1480 01:20:43.720 --> 01:20:46.880 they've seen and what they're looking forward to in this 1481 01:20:47.000 --> 01:20:49.359 match outside of everybody getting out healthy with FC Dallas, 1482 01:20:49.439 --> 01:20:51.079 what they've seen, what it has impressed them, what still 1483 01:20:51.079 --> 01:20:54.359 concerns them, all these kinds of things. So Ricky says, 1484 01:20:54.920 --> 01:20:57.800 I don't want to get caught up in thinking that 1485 01:20:57.920 --> 01:21:00.000 just because past Atlanta teams had some level of hype 1486 01:21:00.039 --> 01:21:02.039 and didn't mean it, I should temper my expectations and 1487 01:21:02.079 --> 01:21:02.880 excitement or whatever. 1488 01:21:02.920 --> 01:21:06.600 But this year just seems different. I really think something good. 1489 01:21:08.079 --> 01:21:11.640 What's the What has been from your interactions, not necessarily 1490 01:21:11.680 --> 01:21:14.279 from yourself, Jared, but have you been able to gauge 1491 01:21:15.079 --> 01:21:18.520 the excitement level for folks coming into this last weekend 1492 01:21:18.560 --> 01:21:19.560 heading into the regular seas? 1493 01:21:19.880 --> 01:21:24.439 It seems like people are excited and I'm glad. I'm 1494 01:21:25.119 --> 01:21:28.359 not trying to temper excitement personally. By philosophy on this 1495 01:21:28.640 --> 01:21:34.399 is that enjoy things. Life is too short and too chaotic, Uh, 1496 01:21:34.479 --> 01:21:39.880 not to enjoy things. There's already enough negativity in the 1497 01:21:39.920 --> 01:21:43.199 world without bringing it into sport. And the beauty of 1498 01:21:43.199 --> 01:21:46.880 sport is uncertainty, always is, always has been, always will be. 1499 01:21:48.239 --> 01:21:54.199 Like you don't get the storybook Juggernaut, Uh, you know 1500 01:21:54.399 --> 01:21:57.359 goes undefeated all the way through. We just don't see that. 1501 01:21:57.920 --> 01:22:01.000 Yeah, And so. 1502 01:22:01.039 --> 01:22:03.399 It's it's it's okay to be I think it's okay 1503 01:22:03.439 --> 01:22:08.720 to be nervous, but it's also okay to be excited 1504 01:22:08.800 --> 01:22:11.840 by things. And I'm like, I'm excited about it, about 1505 01:22:11.840 --> 01:22:15.119 this season just because you have you you have the 1506 01:22:15.199 --> 01:22:18.840 heartwarming story of the gael Haman on back, you have 1507 01:22:18.920 --> 01:22:23.720 lot of lots coming in, you have core pieces in place. 1508 01:22:24.199 --> 01:22:30.560 This really, for me, is the the the attempt for 1509 01:22:31.680 --> 01:22:35.640 Garth especially to for it to for him to put 1510 01:22:36.199 --> 01:22:38.359 this is a new passport, trying to find the right 1511 01:22:38.399 --> 01:22:40.760 metaphor for this, this is a new passport. He was 1512 01:22:40.800 --> 01:22:43.199 putting his stamp in other past, in a past passport, 1513 01:22:47.880 --> 01:22:51.520 so that when he was putting stamps in making changes. 1514 01:22:52.800 --> 01:22:55.079 There's a book that had other stamps in it, obviously 1515 01:22:55.840 --> 01:23:01.520 from Carls spokenager, from Daniels. As of the end of 1516 01:23:01.520 --> 01:23:03.680 the season, he got a new book in the mail. 1517 01:23:05.000 --> 01:23:07.159 Everything that's going in this book right now is on him. 1518 01:23:07.720 --> 01:23:09.920 This is his and this is not a this isn't 1519 01:23:10.279 --> 01:23:13.319 I don't mean that in a you know, he better 1520 01:23:13.359 --> 01:23:15.399 watch out because of everything's on him and he's going 1521 01:23:15.479 --> 01:23:17.159 to be to blame for everything. No, I mean that 1522 01:23:17.279 --> 01:23:22.000 in that because of the changes they've made. This is 1523 01:23:22.119 --> 01:23:22.800 his club. 1524 01:23:22.840 --> 01:23:23.000 Now. 1525 01:23:23.079 --> 01:23:25.800 These are all of his finger princesses, his rash passport 1526 01:23:25.800 --> 01:23:27.680 book and all the stamps are going to be from 1527 01:23:27.760 --> 01:23:30.800 his hand. And as it stands right now, everything going 1528 01:23:30.800 --> 01:23:33.840 forward it's going to be his stamps, and that's that's 1529 01:23:33.920 --> 01:23:35.119 part of what he's trying to build. 1530 01:23:35.399 --> 01:23:35.520 Ye. 1531 01:23:35.960 --> 01:23:37.960 You know he did it out West, two different clubs. 1532 01:23:40.319 --> 01:23:42.960 You we'll see what it We'll see what it ultimately 1533 01:23:44.760 --> 01:23:46.840 what it ultimately looks like this year, and there's going 1534 01:23:46.920 --> 01:23:49.279 to be there with every team.

We'll 1614 01:28:17.600 --> 01:28:22.119 go backward. That championship game was just shy of the 1615 01:28:22.119 --> 01:28:27.279 bosses and my first anniversary. So our common opinion is 1616 01:28:28.000 --> 01:28:33.439 that if our marriage could survive that game, and for 1617 01:28:33.479 --> 01:28:36.079 some strange reason, the tickets ended up in the Auburn section. 1618 01:28:36.159 --> 01:28:39.199 I don't know how this happened, but if our marriage 1619 01:28:39.239 --> 01:28:45.920 could survive that national title game, then I think our 1620 01:28:45.920 --> 01:28:48.720 marriage could pretty much survive everything, and and it pretty 1621 01:28:48.760 --> 01:28:52.319 much has to this point, I continued to tell her 1622 01:28:52.479 --> 01:28:55.560 after that long pass down the sideline that created the 1623 01:28:55.600 --> 01:28:58.760 first and goal, I'm like, look, just keep pi in 1624 01:28:58.800 --> 01:29:01.000 and knocking time off the clab Just literally, what are 1625 01:29:01.000 --> 01:29:02.880 they going to do? Move the ball forward like two inches. 1626 01:29:04.199 --> 01:29:07.399 You've been stopping the run all day. Just keep pieing 1627 01:29:07.439 --> 01:29:10.119 and inch the ball forward, eat time off the clock. 1628 01:29:11.439 --> 01:29:16.039 There is a picture that I have here in office 1629 01:29:16.159 --> 01:29:18.560 HD and the boss will probably know where to find 1630 01:29:18.600 --> 01:29:19.279 it faster. 1631 01:29:19.079 --> 01:29:21.399 Than I will. Of the two of us. 1632 01:29:22.279 --> 01:29:27.359 After that game, and because I was wearing a garnet 1633 01:29:27.760 --> 01:29:32.199 golf shirt, I had to wear something different and I 1634 01:29:32.239 --> 01:29:35.399 had a miserable look on my face and I was like, 1635 01:29:35.479 --> 01:29:36.800 get me the blank out of here. 1636 01:29:38.000 --> 01:29:39.039 And so Jason is. 1637 01:29:39.000 --> 01:29:44.279 Here, what in the blue hell are you talking about? 1638 01:29:44.880 --> 01:29:48.279 We ended up so all the crux of this was 1639 01:29:48.319 --> 01:29:52.319 I mentioned, you know, enjoying the good times in terms 1640 01:29:52.359 --> 01:29:54.119 of the vibes leading up to the seats. I said, 1641 01:29:54.119 --> 01:29:55.640 you enjoy the good times, and I brought up in 1642 01:29:55.680 --> 01:30:00.880 Florida State, you had good times, Yeah, like your coach, 1643 01:30:00.920 --> 01:30:03.119 but you got a title, and then we spiraled off 1644 01:30:03.119 --> 01:30:05.920 into like the Auburn Florida State national title game, and 1645 01:30:05.920 --> 01:30:07.920 how that Auburn team had a horseshoe up its asshole 1646 01:30:07.920 --> 01:30:09.119 a year and it was beautiful to watch. 1647 01:30:09.720 --> 01:30:12.319 Did you remind John to enjoy the good times when 1648 01:30:12.359 --> 01:30:15.479 he was wanting his coach to be fired here recently? 1649 01:30:15.560 --> 01:30:18.439 Who actually had a really good season last year until 1650 01:30:18.439 --> 01:30:21.239 they d a little bit shorter ago two years ago. 1651 01:30:21.560 --> 01:30:23.239 It all runs together at this point, come. 1652 01:30:23.159 --> 01:30:27.000 On, because they had more inches of snow on campus 1653 01:30:27.039 --> 01:30:28.760 than they did wins in. 1654 01:30:28.680 --> 01:30:29.439 Twenty twenty four. 1655 01:30:29.920 --> 01:30:32.159 Yeah, but you didn't like the guy before when they 1656 01:30:32.159 --> 01:30:34.560 were actually good, so you missed the good times because 1657 01:30:34.600 --> 01:30:37.399 you were complaining about Norvelle before and then when he 1658 01:30:37.439 --> 01:30:40.359 got bad, you tried to justify your complaining, but he 1659 01:30:40.399 --> 01:30:42.439 had been good before that. No, you have to put 1660 01:30:42.479 --> 01:30:44.600 your hands down and you have to listen to Jarrett 1661 01:30:44.600 --> 01:30:47.279 for once and enjoy the good times when you have 1662 01:30:47.359 --> 01:30:49.720 the good times, because you never know when you're gonna 1663 01:30:49.760 --> 01:30:52.800 have more snow than wins in your season. You never 1664 01:30:52.920 --> 01:30:55.840 know what's gonna happen. You complain and you whine and 1665 01:30:55.880 --> 01:30:59.680 you cry about not getting into the national championship situation, 1666 01:30:59.720 --> 01:31:02.520 which probably should happen anyway, and then you got blown 1667 01:31:02.520 --> 01:31:06.640 out by Georgia and it broke your club's whole everything, 1668 01:31:06.960 --> 01:31:08.000 everything was broken. 1669 01:31:08.359 --> 01:31:10.439 Man. So anyway, that's my rant for today. 1670 01:31:10.479 --> 01:31:12.520 Anyway, my whole point was to enjoy the good time. 1671 01:31:12.600 --> 01:31:15.239 So enjoy the good times exactly. John enjoyed the good times. 1672 01:31:15.319 --> 01:31:17.239 And this is this is about like this season of 1673 01:31:17.279 --> 01:31:20.199 like most people, I talked to her side and that's good. Yes, 1674 01:31:20.680 --> 01:31:23.119 And I also said, you know you're you're you're never 1675 01:31:23.159 --> 01:31:27.000 gonna have an an indentible team in MLS. It's it's 1676 01:31:27.119 --> 01:31:27.960 it's not happening. 1677 01:31:28.079 --> 01:31:32.560 There's too much in MLS. Absolutely, it's it's even more difficult. 1678 01:31:32.640 --> 01:31:34.159 But yes, you don't have it anywhere. 1679 01:31:35.239 --> 01:31:38.039 Yeah, I mean you're like, enjoy the arsenal. What what 1680 01:31:38.079 --> 01:31:41.439 it was that one magical time? You're not like man like. 1681 01:31:41.479 --> 01:31:47.920 Look Celtic and Rangers. Celtic did once. Even though this 1682 01:31:48.039 --> 01:31:50.319 only happened. I think Rangers did in League a couple 1683 01:31:50.359 --> 01:31:55.000 of years ago because Neil Lennon was like huffing paint 1684 01:31:56.039 --> 01:31:56.640 for half a year. 1685 01:31:57.479 --> 01:31:59.880 That's like the usual m upen Anyway. 1686 01:31:59.760 --> 01:32:03.560 Yeah, future empty coach, I'll see it, boy, was that you. 1687 01:32:03.600 --> 01:32:06.840 Haven't stop turn no no at all. 1688 01:32:07.720 --> 01:32:09.279 But you're not gonna get that. So, yeah, you have 1689 01:32:09.319 --> 01:32:11.159 good times, you go on bad times, and so it's okay, 1690 01:32:11.479 --> 01:32:12.039 we'll work through it. 1691 01:32:12.439 --> 01:32:16.159 When it's good, enjoy it. Don't constantly wait for the 1692 01:32:16.199 --> 01:32:20.359 other shoe to drop, and when it's bad, want it 1693 01:32:20.399 --> 01:32:24.239 to be good rather than I hate everything. I'm never 1694 01:32:24.319 --> 01:32:26.880 supporting this again, I'm never coming back open. And then 1695 01:32:27.000 --> 01:32:31.279 you come back and oh, magically appeared. Crazy how that happens. 1696 01:32:32.640 --> 01:32:35.800 Enjoy and that's Look, this is something that you want 1697 01:32:35.800 --> 01:32:37.680 to get really deep. This is something that we talk 1698 01:32:37.720 --> 01:32:40.800 about a lot in this game because I feel like 1699 01:32:40.880 --> 01:32:45.279 it's super easy in this country especially, and look, maybe 1700 01:32:45.279 --> 01:32:49.199 it's because of the way that England covers the game 1701 01:32:49.359 --> 01:32:53.119 and there's a healthy dose of cynicism on a regular basis. 1702 01:32:53.199 --> 01:32:57.600 There's a healthy dose of tabloidishness and always looking for 1703 01:32:57.680 --> 01:33:01.000 controversy and all these sorts of things. Soccer in this 1704 01:33:01.119 --> 01:33:04.560 country is by far, it's not even close. It's not 1705 01:33:04.920 --> 01:33:09.640 even close. It's healthier than it's ever been, it's better 1706 01:33:09.680 --> 01:33:12.279 than it's ever been, it's more sustainable than it's ever been. 1707 01:33:12.640 --> 01:33:15.920 It's not perfect, because nothing is, but it's in such 1708 01:33:15.960 --> 01:33:18.520 a good spot. And yeah, clubs come and go in 1709 01:33:18.680 --> 01:33:22.239 terms of being contenders and not contenders, and you can 1710 01:33:22.319 --> 01:33:26.039 never guarantee that, even if you outspend other people, you 1711 01:33:26.079 --> 01:33:31.680 can't guarantee it. But the idea that we're constantly looking 1712 01:33:31.800 --> 01:33:34.560 for negative right now when we talk soccer in the 1713 01:33:34.640 --> 01:33:37.960 United States, whether we're talking lower divisions, mls, your club, 1714 01:33:38.359 --> 01:33:42.119 national teams, whatever, the idea that we're constantly doing that 1715 01:33:42.279 --> 01:33:46.439 is crazy because you are having to look for it. 1716 01:33:46.760 --> 01:33:50.159 There are so many good things going on right now. Literally, 1717 01:33:50.279 --> 01:33:53.439 just enjoy your time, because man, don't we need a 1718 01:33:53.479 --> 01:33:56.319 break from real life. This can be that at this 1719 01:33:56.520 --> 01:33:58.239 point and it's much needed. 1720 01:34:01.119 --> 01:34:03.760 We were getting into we were getting into that, Oh 1721 01:34:03.800 --> 01:34:07.760 the Jersey releases. That is uh too well. 1722 01:34:07.800 --> 01:34:09.880 It sounds like you might need to uh, I think 1723 01:34:09.920 --> 01:34:11.760 most of you've already seen it because our friend Michael 1724 01:34:11.760 --> 01:34:17.399 Parkhurst might have accidentally on purpose spoiled it. Possibly you 1725 01:34:17.479 --> 01:34:21.720 might want to keep your ears open and uh notifications 1726 01:34:21.720 --> 01:34:25.199 on because there has been a teas at pretty specific teas, 1727 01:34:25.279 --> 01:34:26.439 so you might want to be ready for that. 1728 01:34:26.640 --> 01:34:29.199 Yeah, we we were looking at that on threads. 1729 01:34:29.199 --> 01:34:32.399 Prepared to drop the minute. 1730 01:34:32.600 --> 01:34:34.960 Why were you looking for it on threads John because 1731 01:34:35.359 --> 01:34:38.800 Ricky posted that particular link and that's where it was. 1732 01:34:39.800 --> 01:34:42.720 Because his live journal doesn't update yet. 1733 01:34:42.880 --> 01:34:48.600 The Tumblr page is not updated yet. Yeah, well yeah, 1734 01:34:48.640 --> 01:34:54.960 it's I mean, I guess a little bit. What corners 1735 01:34:55.000 --> 01:34:57.840 is Tumblr alive in. I mean, I'm not, it's not dead. 1736 01:34:58.000 --> 01:35:04.000 But where this among like the fantasy sci fi got 1737 01:35:04.079 --> 01:35:05.640 it it is?

I usually go through web and 1797 01:37:36.520 --> 01:37:37.640 log I'll go no. 1798 01:37:37.640 --> 01:37:41.119 No, So okay, let's go back to the beginning. 1799 01:37:41.279 --> 01:37:44.079 You were very excited about having the Apple TV app 1800 01:37:44.079 --> 01:37:48.319 on Android. Yeah, so yes, to use it, you would 1801 01:37:48.319 --> 01:37:49.119 have to download it. 1802 01:37:49.239 --> 01:37:50.800 Okay, So I can't go on like the web and 1803 01:37:51.079 --> 01:37:53.239 type in you know, Apple TV and then go in 1804 01:37:53.279 --> 01:37:53.640 that way. 1805 01:37:53.920 --> 01:37:56.920 Oh my god, Jared, are you hearing this? 1806 01:37:58.359 --> 01:37:58.560 Yeah? 1807 01:37:59.039 --> 01:38:00.479 Like broke?

No, no, this 1811 01:38:11.039 --> 01:38:13.760 this should not be difficult. This is really upsetting. This 1812 01:38:13.840 --> 01:38:17.039 should be very simple. If you want to use the 1813 01:38:17.399 --> 01:38:22.000 any app, you use the actual app, not the browser 1814 01:38:22.039 --> 01:38:25.199 on your phone. You had to use the browser on 1815 01:38:25.199 --> 01:38:26.760 your phone in the past because you didn't have an app. 1816 01:38:27.840 --> 01:38:31.960 Now you can download an app. Okay, all right, does that 1817 01:38:32.000 --> 01:38:32.520 make sense? 1818 01:38:32.960 --> 01:38:37.840 It does?

Well, 1821 01:38:41.359 --> 01:38:42.680 that's what I was going to do. It's like, there's 1822 01:38:42.680 --> 01:38:44.279 this thing called place, There's a thing. 1823 01:38:44.159 --> 01:38:45.359 Called pl No. 1824 01:38:45.359 --> 01:38:47.319 No, we know. You don't have to explain it that way. 1825 01:38:47.359 --> 01:38:48.239 We know. We know. 1826 01:38:50.199 --> 01:38:52.960 So what So what I will do and do it? 1827 01:38:53.000 --> 01:38:54.520 Do it while we're sitting here. I need to. 1828 01:38:54.600 --> 01:38:55.720 I need to make sure you can do. 1829 01:38:55.680 --> 01:38:56.680 This because I'm not bad. 1830 01:38:56.800 --> 01:38:58.239 I'm actually Okay. 1831 01:38:58.800 --> 01:38:59.880 We know about Android phone. 1832 01:39:01.079 --> 01:39:06.079 I know all about androidloading. Unfortunately, so does a sidewalk 1833 01:39:06.079 --> 01:39:06.680 in Montreal. 1834 01:39:07.640 --> 01:39:10.960 It's probably still smoking. Okay, so uh ooh okay. 1835 01:39:11.000 --> 01:39:14.600 So Apple TV on Android right now is only grading 1836 01:39:14.600 --> 01:39:17.760 at three point one stars with more than fifty million download. 1837 01:39:17.600 --> 01:39:20.640 Okay, John, there's a bunch of Android people who hate Apple. 1838 01:39:21.119 --> 01:39:22.760 I was one of those people in the past. I 1839 01:39:22.800 --> 01:39:25.000 saw the light or joined the cult, whichever way you 1840 01:39:25.000 --> 01:39:25.479 want to put it. 1841 01:39:26.119 --> 01:39:28.560 You took you took a step into the walled garden. 1842 01:39:29.239 --> 01:39:31.760 Yeah, Montreal tried to kill me and my phone tried 1843 01:39:31.800 --> 01:39:33.199 to kill me as well, so I had to switch. 1844 01:39:33.920 --> 01:39:37.479 So I'll worry about the reviews. John, Just download the app. 1845 01:39:37.560 --> 01:39:40.439 It's new. I think I just did. 1846 01:39:41.079 --> 01:39:43.119 There was If there was anything in Montreal that was 1847 01:39:43.159 --> 01:39:45.159 going to kill you, I just assumed it would be 1848 01:39:45.199 --> 01:39:45.800 the poutine. 1849 01:39:46.039 --> 01:39:48.039 No, it's always now if you go to the right 1850 01:39:48.079 --> 01:39:51.239 place in your poutine's okay. All right, So I've logged 1851 01:39:51.239 --> 01:39:53.119 in through the boss's account and she's gonna look at 1852 01:39:53.119 --> 01:39:54.079 it and go verification. 1853 01:39:54.479 --> 01:39:55.359 What are you trying to do? 1854 01:39:56.560 --> 01:39:58.800 So gonna leave all of that alone. But it was 1855 01:39:59.000 --> 01:40:01.039 downloaded the app. That's step in the right direction. 1856 01:40:01.560 --> 01:40:01.840 There we go. 1857 01:40:02.000 --> 01:40:04.880 Good job.

You had a Golosso match ender 1879 01:41:08.399 --> 01:41:10.960 last night. Yeah, it was good games last night. Both 1880 01:41:10.960 --> 01:41:16.960 were three two. The first one, Walton jumped out to 1881 01:41:17.000 --> 01:41:19.359 a two zero lead. Sekoya came back with two from 1882 01:41:19.399 --> 01:41:22.920 the penalty spot, both good penalties that they earned, and 1883 01:41:22.960 --> 01:41:26.399 then a late scramble ends up in the back of 1884 01:41:26.399 --> 01:41:29.920 the net. Walton gets the win. Their second game, more 1885 01:41:29.960 --> 01:41:35.880 back and forth with North Atlanta and Campbell North Atlanta 1886 01:41:36.800 --> 01:41:39.800 maybe was the better team in general, but Campbell scored 1887 01:41:39.840 --> 01:41:41.520 two goals from long throw ins. 1888 01:41:42.239 --> 01:41:43.199 They're right back. 1889 01:41:43.520 --> 01:41:46.000 Had a throw where he could get it from and look, 1890 01:41:46.000 --> 01:41:48.680 we're talking about high school fields, but he's getting it 1891 01:41:48.720 --> 01:41:51.760 to the back post from even twenty yards away from 1892 01:41:51.760 --> 01:41:52.479 the corner flag. 1893 01:41:52.640 --> 01:41:53.000 Wow. 1894 01:41:53.079 --> 01:41:56.680 The problem was he probably took about twelve throw ins 1895 01:41:56.800 --> 01:41:58.760 as the night went on, and by the end he 1896 01:41:58.760 --> 01:41:59.960 couldn't get it at the back post. He could get 1897 01:42:00.119 --> 01:42:03.640 the near post, got two goals out of it. But 1898 01:42:04.239 --> 01:42:07.079 the finale was a great ball over the top and 1899 01:42:07.359 --> 01:42:11.000 Max Rody with really nice composure. It's a freshman goalkeeper 1900 01:42:11.279 --> 01:42:13.239 for Campbell, and he was really good. 1901 01:42:13.680 --> 01:42:18.119 But he was also I don't even know where to 1902 01:42:18.159 --> 01:42:19.119 put him on the renee. 1903 01:42:19.119 --> 01:42:23.159 He geat the scale pretty high. He dribbled past a 1904 01:42:23.199 --> 01:42:27.000 couple of players. Wow, he juggled the ball at one point. 1905 01:42:28.279 --> 01:42:29.840 But he also was very good coming out at the 1906 01:42:29.840 --> 01:42:31.720 top of his eighteen. He made a couple of really 1907 01:42:31.760 --> 01:42:35.920 big saves. This one he came out and Roady was 1908 01:42:35.960 --> 01:42:40.039 able to keep his composure and kind of chip it 1909 01:42:40.199 --> 01:42:42.920 around him. It wasn't like straight over him, a little 1910 01:42:42.920 --> 01:42:45.319 more around him, and it was a really good goal 1911 01:42:45.399 --> 01:42:48.039 second of the night for Roady and North Atlanta got 1912 01:42:48.039 --> 01:42:50.920 the win. So they'll play Walton on Saturday. That's an 1913 01:42:50.960 --> 01:42:54.800 eight o'clock game. The other two will play at four o'clock, 1914 01:42:54.840 --> 01:42:56.640 and then tonight we'll decide who plays at six o'clock 1915 01:42:56.640 --> 01:42:59.399 in the final. It's been a really fun tournament. You're 1916 01:42:59.399 --> 01:43:02.960 gonna be very today with three games as Greenbrier comes 1917 01:43:02.960 --> 01:43:04.600 over with their boys and their girls to play. 1918 01:43:04.760 --> 01:43:07.119 YEP, that's gonna be fun. Green Brier was looking forward 1919 01:43:07.199 --> 01:43:09.000 to being a part of this tournament. The coach is 1920 01:43:09.039 --> 01:43:12.920 really excited and to be able to have teams. You've 1921 01:43:12.920 --> 01:43:15.199 got two teams coming up from Alabama for you, Dothan 1922 01:43:15.239 --> 01:43:19.119 and Tucker playing each other. And not Tucker Alabama, it's 1923 01:43:19.159 --> 01:43:21.359 Tucker Georgia. Oh it is Tucker High School. Yeah, okay, 1924 01:43:21.399 --> 01:43:23.640 so I don't know if the Tucker Alabama. It's Tucker Georgia. Okay, 1925 01:43:23.640 --> 01:43:25.039 so it's Tucker. So it's a Tucker. 1926 01:43:25.079 --> 01:43:26.800 Tiger's playing. That was a typo. 1927 01:43:27.000 --> 01:43:29.920 Then they're going against Dothans, So Dothan's making the four 1928 01:43:29.960 --> 01:43:33.680 hour drive up. Greenbrier is making the probably three hour 1929 01:43:33.800 --> 01:43:37.520 drive over from Columbia County, just north of Augusta and 1930 01:43:37.640 --> 01:43:40.079 we're going to see them today and so it's fun 1931 01:43:40.079 --> 01:43:41.960 to see all of these. Murray County is going to 1932 01:43:42.000 --> 01:43:43.800 be a part of this as well, So seeing all 1933 01:43:43.840 --> 01:43:47.520 of the the wide range of geography that's in play 1934 01:43:47.560 --> 01:43:49.359 here in this tournament's been really cool to see. And 1935 01:43:49.399 --> 01:43:53.279 it anticipated obviously with North Murray playing and Greenbrier playing twice, 1936 01:43:53.560 --> 01:43:55.479 those kinds of things, in Dothan playing, it's going to 1937 01:43:55.520 --> 01:43:55.880 be fun. 1938 01:43:56.159 --> 01:44:00.720 Yeah, it's been really good college coaches out scouting as well. 1939 01:44:00.880 --> 01:44:04.319 I'm getting messages from college coaches like, he know what 1940 01:44:04.319 --> 01:44:06.399 you're saying, let me know who's who's shining, let me 1941 01:44:06.399 --> 01:44:09.079 know what's what's good out there. So it's been really good, 1942 01:44:10.039 --> 01:44:12.520 good celebration of the game, really fun tournament. Big thanks 1943 01:44:12.520 --> 01:44:15.479 to John's Creek and Kelly Bowler for putting everything together 1944 01:44:15.560 --> 01:44:18.399 and having us as part of it. It's been really 1945 01:44:18.520 --> 01:44:21.960 a good time. And in Jared, we have a really 1946 01:44:22.000 --> 01:44:26.560 interesting game that we're calling tomorrow. I've never called a 1947 01:44:26.600 --> 01:44:29.560 game like this. I've never called a game that will 1948 01:44:29.600 --> 01:44:34.359 be formatted this way or just the sheer run time. 1949 01:44:35.359 --> 01:44:38.680 We are calling Atlanta United and FC Dallas from the 1950 01:44:38.880 --> 01:44:43.199 Children's Health Care of Atlanta training Ground. Kickoff is at noon, 1951 01:44:43.560 --> 01:44:46.560 and I didn't know it was possible to play three 1952 01:44:46.600 --> 01:44:52.800 halves of anything, but they are going to play three halves. 1953 01:44:51.159 --> 01:44:54.520 Okay three feel like in Brestlmania and split it into 1954 01:44:54.600 --> 01:44:55.520 day one and day two. 1955 01:44:55.680 --> 01:44:58.560 I feel like we're basically there. It's gonna be three 1956 01:44:58.720 --> 01:44:59.960 forty five minute segment. 1957 01:45:00.279 --> 01:45:01.199 Huh. 1958 01:45:01.520 --> 01:45:03.640 This is gonna be broadcast on nineteen nine, the game 1959 01:45:03.800 --> 01:45:07.000 and a stream, so it's gonna be really interesting.

We're gonna be pretty close to the action. 1964 01:45:21.640 --> 01:45:26.880 It's gonna be a really interesting, long marathon of preseason soccer. 1965 01:45:27.279 --> 01:45:29.720 Apologies in advance for anything you hear that is not 1966 01:45:29.840 --> 01:45:30.520 radio friendly. 1967 01:45:31.279 --> 01:45:33.399 Yes, yeah, there's a few guys. 1968 01:45:33.680 --> 01:45:35.520 We're gonna want to try to find a dump button, 1969 01:45:35.520 --> 01:45:36.399 but I don't know if we will. 1970 01:45:37.319 --> 01:45:38.920 I I can go back to in my head, and 1971 01:45:38.960 --> 01:45:40.359 I was telling the story the other day when we 1972 01:45:40.359 --> 01:45:45.439 were playing pickup. Was the infamous twenty nineteen Open Cup 1973 01:45:45.479 --> 01:45:49.319 game behind doors against the Battery where you could hear 1974 01:45:49.439 --> 01:45:52.760 Brad we're Kennesaw. You could have heard Brad at the 1975 01:45:52.760 --> 01:45:53.319 Big Chicken. 1976 01:45:54.119 --> 01:45:55.920 Yeah, well, I mean that's and you could hear. 1977 01:45:57.640 --> 01:46:00.640 You've never heard of talk. LGP had a very extinct, 1978 01:46:00.800 --> 01:46:01.640 raspy voice. 1979 01:46:01.760 --> 01:46:02.199 Yeah, I did. 1980 01:46:03.520 --> 01:46:07.880 And you could hear everything. He was yelling in multiple. 1981 01:46:07.520 --> 01:46:11.119 Languages, and it was probably foul in multiple languages. 1982 01:46:11.359 --> 01:46:13.520 Well, yeah, it was, it was. It was. He was 1983 01:46:13.560 --> 01:46:17.359 working at profanities. Uh, the way an artist would work 1984 01:46:17.399 --> 01:46:23.239 in Clay's or oils to jack a line from Christmas story. Yeah, 1985 01:46:23.239 --> 01:46:25.399 there's a non zero chance you could sign that tomorrow. 1986 01:46:25.399 --> 01:46:29.880 But yeah, man, three forty five minute halves should get 1987 01:46:29.920 --> 01:46:34.279 a good look at a bunch of people. Thank god, 1988 01:46:34.279 --> 01:46:37.800 it won't be hot, it'll be actually cold. Yeah, we'll 1989 01:46:37.840 --> 01:46:40.920 see how they management. We'll see how guys push and 1990 01:46:41.079 --> 01:46:41.640 are pushed. 1991 01:46:42.279 --> 01:46:46.000 Yeah, my guess is guys play around sixty. I would 1992 01:46:46.000 --> 01:46:49.720 think so, kind of in various permutations, Ronnie Diela spoke 1993 01:46:49.760 --> 01:46:51.680 to the media yesterday and said that he hopes that 1994 01:46:51.760 --> 01:46:56.039 Latte Laugh will be able to take part one. And 1995 01:46:56.319 --> 01:46:58.520 I'll give you guys the behind the scenes here and 1996 01:46:58.520 --> 01:47:04.840 everybody listening, we are going to go with lat lat 1997 01:47:05.399 --> 01:47:08.840 and the last part is a little tricky. When we 1998 01:47:08.880 --> 01:47:13.199 get into pronunciation, it's not exactly like it looks. It's 1999 01:47:13.279 --> 01:47:16.560 more like lat, like a hard t than a th 2000 01:47:16.800 --> 01:47:21.319 h at the end. It's a little tricky, so we're 2001 01:47:21.720 --> 01:47:24.079 I'm working on getting that perfected. 2002 01:47:24.520 --> 01:47:26.720 It will not be perfect straight away. We're getting there. 2003 01:47:27.159 --> 01:47:32.279 But he will go by Latte Lat and not Latte 2004 01:47:32.399 --> 01:47:33.399 as a first name. 2005 01:47:33.920 --> 01:47:36.640 It's you don't call him late. That's not his first name. 2006 01:47:36.960 --> 01:47:41.119 It is the combined name at all times. And the 2007 01:47:41.279 --> 01:47:44.720 nickname because Immanuel is his first name. He's not choosing 2008 01:47:44.760 --> 01:47:47.520 to go by that. His nickname is Manu like that's 2009 01:47:47.520 --> 01:47:50.760 what you'll hear everybody calling him when players speak about him. 2010 01:47:50.800 --> 01:47:53.039 When when Ronnie will speak about him, I'm sure they'll 2011 01:47:53.079 --> 01:47:57.079 say Manu a lot. But yes, lat Lat, and he 2012 01:47:57.239 --> 01:48:02.479 is expected to take part in some capacity tomorrow. Visa's good. 2013 01:48:02.520 --> 01:48:05.039 Everything is good. He was training on the side yesterday. 2014 01:48:05.039 --> 01:48:07.119 It was pretty much a side session for everybody. It 2015 01:48:07.159 --> 01:48:09.000 was a regi in session as the team came back 2016 01:48:09.399 --> 01:48:13.039 from Florida. So my guess is he will be taking 2017 01:48:13.079 --> 01:48:17.119 part in training today and be ready to roll maybe thirty, 2018 01:48:17.159 --> 01:48:21.000 maybe sixty tomorrow. My guess is nobody plays more than 2019 01:48:21.039 --> 01:48:24.159 sixty and you'll see pretty much everybody that we've seen 2020 01:48:24.199 --> 01:48:25.119 in preseason so far. 2021 01:48:28.119 --> 01:48:32.079 Three minute halves. You might see everybody in the damp 2022 01:48:32.159 --> 01:48:34.279 system tomorrow. Same with Dallas. 2023 01:48:34.560 --> 01:48:35.680 Yeah, you could see. 2024 01:48:36.159 --> 01:48:37.920 You could see a few players that we haven't seen 2025 01:48:38.159 --> 01:48:41.640 in the preseason so far, like Javier Armas joined the 2026 01:48:41.680 --> 01:48:44.279 group down in Florida, so you know, could he play 2027 01:48:44.520 --> 01:48:46.039 thirty or sixty minutes? 2028 01:48:46.079 --> 01:48:50.640 Sure? Other twos guys coffee you don't want to do that. 2029 01:48:51.039 --> 01:48:51.880 I don't anyway. 2030 01:48:53.039 --> 01:48:56.199 Other Two's guys who have been around and have started training, 2031 01:48:56.239 --> 01:48:59.039 you could see a few of them as needed. So yeah, 2032 01:48:59.199 --> 01:49:02.279 I think it will be a very interesting cornucopia of 2033 01:49:02.359 --> 01:49:05.479 preseason soccer tomorrow from Marietta and Jared and I will 2034 01:49:05.479 --> 01:49:06.239 be at the Helm. 2035 01:49:06.359 --> 01:49:08.079 So sorry in advance. 2036 01:49:08.560 --> 01:49:12.800 Ohologies, no worries. So, Jason, as you've been keeping an 2037 01:49:12.840 --> 01:49:15.800 eye on things from absolutely zero here in pre season, 2038 01:49:16.600 --> 01:49:19.439 what has what has impressed you and what have you 2039 01:49:19.560 --> 01:49:22.640 been looking forward to the most with this last preseason 2040 01:49:22.680 --> 01:49:25.359 three haves making up one day to get us. 2041 01:49:25.319 --> 01:49:27.039 To the regular season. What's impressed you so far? 2042 01:49:27.119 --> 01:49:31.600 The progression? I mean, it's been better each time now. 2043 01:49:31.600 --> 01:49:34.279 I didn't get to see anything from Wednesday against Cincinnati 2044 01:49:34.279 --> 01:49:37.600 when they switched fields, so and it looked like just 2045 01:49:37.640 --> 01:49:41.560 from the lineup, it was more of a second group 2046 01:49:41.600 --> 01:49:43.800 and guys coming back from injury, like Steven Gregorson who 2047 01:49:43.800 --> 01:49:48.239 played forty five. That's what he told us yesterday. But 2048 01:49:48.359 --> 01:49:52.560 the progression generally has been really, really good, and that's 2049 01:49:52.600 --> 01:49:54.359 what you want to see. I don't care about results. 2050 01:49:54.560 --> 01:49:58.760 I'm not worried about the specifics in production. I'm more 2051 01:49:58.840 --> 01:50:03.159 about how is the overall group looking. Are they getting 2052 01:50:03.159 --> 01:50:06.560 comfortable with the way that Ronnie Dilo wants them to play? 2053 01:50:06.880 --> 01:50:11.199 And I think we're seeing that. Defensively, they've gotten better 2054 01:50:11.199 --> 01:50:13.199 and better and better, and that's gonna be the foundation 2055 01:50:13.319 --> 01:50:16.560 of anything for this team. I know we're all gonna 2056 01:50:16.560 --> 01:50:19.079 talk headlines, and we're all gonna talk highlights, and we're 2057 01:50:19.079 --> 01:50:21.680 all gonna talk Miggy, and we're gonna talk Lat Da 2058 01:50:21.800 --> 01:50:24.720 Lat and we're gonna talk Moranchuku, I think has been 2059 01:50:24.920 --> 01:50:25.960 very good in preseason. 2060 01:50:26.000 --> 01:50:28.520 We're gonna talk Saba. That's where the headlines are gonna be. 2061 01:50:29.199 --> 01:50:33.479 But this team has to be at a very good 2062 01:50:33.680 --> 01:50:36.800 level defensively to do what they want to do this year, 2063 01:50:36.800 --> 01:50:37.640 which is win trophies. 2064 01:50:38.159 --> 01:50:38.680 They have to. 2065 01:50:39.520 --> 01:50:43.119 You're not gonna be able to purely just go out 2066 01:50:43.119 --> 01:50:46.319 and outscore teams. I think we saw Miami do that 2067 01:50:46.439 --> 01:50:49.479 up to a point last year. But you've got to 2068 01:50:49.600 --> 01:50:55.239 have defensive stability to win things. There's gonna be a 2069 01:50:55.279 --> 01:50:59.000 game where you're just not firing and all cylinders offensively, 2070 01:50:59.800 --> 01:51:02.680 or you know, the passing isn't isn't clicking, or you've 2071 01:51:02.720 --> 01:51:05.159 got to manufacture your luck and you've got to go 2072 01:51:05.279 --> 01:51:07.560 press and create a turnover and go win a game 2073 01:51:07.560 --> 01:51:10.680 that way. You're going to have to have that defensive ability. 2074 01:51:10.800 --> 01:51:14.119 And this team will be defined in twenty twenty five 2075 01:51:14.520 --> 01:51:17.840 by how well they defend. It'll be talked about by 2076 01:51:17.880 --> 01:51:21.239 how well they attack, but it will be truly defined. 2077 01:51:21.319 --> 01:51:24.239 Success will be defined by how well they defend. And 2078 01:51:24.479 --> 01:51:26.600 I like what I've seen so far in preseason on 2079 01:51:26.680 --> 01:51:27.279 that department. 2080 01:51:27.920 --> 01:51:30.880 What about the younger players. I know that there's a 2081 01:51:30.880 --> 01:51:33.800 lot of confidence in a player like Noah Kabb, but 2082 01:51:33.880 --> 01:51:37.640 we've also seen Evan Morales get minutes, Matthew Edwards get minutes, 2083 01:51:37.680 --> 01:51:40.479 Dominic chong Qui has impressed since absolute zero, and you 2084 01:51:40.520 --> 01:51:44.680 have to I believe say Dominic to Ronnie to Ronni Daila, 2085 01:51:44.920 --> 01:51:47.640 because if you ask about Chanqui, it's like who, But 2086 01:51:47.720 --> 01:51:50.239 it's Dominic to to Ronnie. But the younger players have 2087 01:51:50.319 --> 01:51:51.920 shown up as well, especially. 2088 01:51:51.600 --> 01:51:52.079 At the back. 2089 01:51:52.960 --> 01:51:56.319 Yeah, they have. But here's the thing. I mean, as 2090 01:51:56.359 --> 01:51:59.239 good as they've been, and they're gonna push for playing time, 2091 01:51:59.279 --> 01:52:02.640 don't get me wrong, but they're going to have to 2092 01:52:02.920 --> 01:52:07.000 stay motivated to support when needed. And that was something 2093 01:52:07.000 --> 01:52:10.399 that that Ronnie mentioned yesterday. He's been very happy about 2094 01:52:10.439 --> 01:52:13.000 the overall group. He feels like it's not eleven guys, 2095 01:52:13.039 --> 01:52:16.159 it's twenty two to twenty five guys that are able 2096 01:52:16.199 --> 01:52:18.720 to contribute and play at this level. But some are 2097 01:52:18.720 --> 01:52:20.399 going to be asked to do more than others. And 2098 01:52:20.720 --> 01:52:22.640 I think, you know, I went through it on Atlanta 2099 01:52:22.640 --> 01:52:26.079 Soccer tonight on Tuesday night. I feel like we kind 2100 01:52:26.079 --> 01:52:27.760 of know what the starting lineup is going to look like. 2101 01:52:29.079 --> 01:52:31.239 There'll be some rotations. I think central midfield you'll see 2102 01:52:31.279 --> 01:52:34.039 some rotations as the year goes on. But I think 2103 01:52:34.039 --> 01:52:36.920 ideally you want to see Bartoschleish and Matteo's click together 2104 01:52:37.399 --> 01:52:39.439 in that holding midfield behind Maranchuk. You know what the 2105 01:52:39.439 --> 01:52:41.000 front four is going to be you know what the 2106 01:52:41.000 --> 01:52:44.039 fullbacks are when they're healthy in Pedro, Amador and Brooks Lennon. 2107 01:52:44.560 --> 01:52:46.680 I think a center back, you want to see Steian 2108 01:52:46.720 --> 01:52:49.279 Gregorson and Derek Williams as you're starting center back duo. 2109 01:52:49.399 --> 01:52:52.920 So the starting lineup in a way picks itself. That 2110 01:52:52.960 --> 01:52:57.439 doesn't include Cobb, it doesn't include Morales, it doesn't include Chonkqui, 2111 01:52:57.520 --> 01:53:00.840 who's on a tuesdaal this year. Remember that doesn't include Brennan. 2112 01:53:01.239 --> 01:53:03.600 It doesn't include a lot of those young players. But 2113 01:53:03.680 --> 01:53:06.000 there will be moments, whether it's from the bench or 2114 01:53:06.039 --> 01:53:08.920 in a midweek game or when there's an injury, they 2115 01:53:09.000 --> 01:53:12.159 will be called upon and it's going to be on them. 2116 01:53:12.279 --> 01:53:13.479 And this is the hardest thing. 2117 01:53:14.760 --> 01:53:16.680 You never know when that opportunity is going to come, 2118 01:53:17.399 --> 01:53:19.960 but you have to be ready to take it with 2119 01:53:20.039 --> 01:53:21.880 both hands. And I think we saw that last year 2120 01:53:21.880 --> 01:53:24.479 with Jay Fortune when Tristan Mihambaal went down with an 2121 01:53:24.520 --> 01:53:27.319 injury after not playing well, Jay Fortune kept him off 2122 01:53:27.319 --> 01:53:30.760 the field after that. Now, I think Matayo's click comes 2123 01:53:30.760 --> 01:53:32.800 in and he can make this team better in that midfield. 2124 01:53:33.079 --> 01:53:36.920 But Fortune will be ready when that moment opens. Itself 2125 01:53:37.000 --> 01:53:38.720 up again and he showed last year that he can 2126 01:53:38.760 --> 01:53:41.079 handle that. Brennan has to be ready for that. I 2127 01:53:41.079 --> 01:53:43.079 think Cobb showed that he can do that last year 2128 01:53:43.119 --> 01:53:45.720 as well. He has to be ready again. Morales has 2129 01:53:45.720 --> 01:53:47.520 to be ready and when he was called upon last year, 2130 01:53:47.520 --> 01:53:49.600 he did well. But you're going to have to have 2131 01:53:49.720 --> 01:53:54.239 those guys be ready in reserve roles, and whether it's 2132 01:53:54.279 --> 01:53:56.319 ten minutes at the end of a game or it's 2133 01:53:56.319 --> 01:54:00.680 a spot start, they have to make it count because 2134 01:54:00.800 --> 01:54:04.560 this group has a different level of expectation than they 2135 01:54:04.600 --> 01:54:06.239 did by the time you got to the middle of 2136 01:54:06.319 --> 01:54:06.920 last season. 2137 01:54:07.000 --> 01:54:09.760 It's different. This group's expected to win trophies. 2138 01:54:10.199 --> 01:54:14.279 And if that means Luke Brennan plays in fifteen games 2139 01:54:14.640 --> 01:54:18.359 and starts three and plays about three hundred minutes, those 2140 01:54:18.399 --> 01:54:21.279 three hundred minutes need to be impactful. They have to 2141 01:54:21.319 --> 01:54:23.880 be and that's going to be the trick for this 2142 01:54:23.960 --> 01:54:26.840 coaching staff and for those young players to be constantly 2143 01:54:27.640 --> 01:54:29.399 ready when their number gets called. 2144 01:54:30.159 --> 01:54:33.479 Jared for Jason as we wrap up getting toward the preseason. 2145 01:54:33.039 --> 01:54:34.880 Land, No, Jared, I'm not gonna let you ask me 2146 01:54:34.880 --> 01:54:36.520 a question, because actually I have another call here in 2147 01:54:36.560 --> 01:54:39.159 just a second, Oh. 2148 01:54:38.239 --> 01:54:41.359 Yeah, I got.
