So Cincinnati was very busy. We'll 31 00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:29.080 go over all the all the stuff in transfer window 32 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.639 and get you ready for the weekend in Europe, will 33 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:34.719 get you ready for the weekend with Major League Soccer, 34 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.639 all the things.

Obviously, we are 54 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:37.120 keeping an eye on everything going on after what happened 55 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:42.360 in the Copasuit Americana and with all of the just 56 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.759 the craziness that is going on there. We do have 57 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:50.039 a couple of news and notes kind of things that 58 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:54.599 are attached to that, and right now this morning is 59 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:58.879 probably the bigger piece of news where it appears. And 60 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:04.639 we are still waiting on official word on suspensions and 61 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.599 teams being jettisoned and folks making semifinals and things like 62 00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.560 that following the scenes in the midweek. And this is 63 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:18.000 according to our friend at Galasso Argentino. The Ministry of 64 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.959 Security has ordered Independent play their home game against Platense 65 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.160 in League elsewhere and not at the study of Libertadoris 66 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:29.120 at de America. Could be two weeks before Cono Ball 67 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.279 make their decision on the sud Americana after a strong 68 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.920 aperture independent season has gone down, the drain out of 69 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.120 the Copo Argentina likely out of the Suit Americana and 70 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:41.800 a windlass start to the Klaus Surup. So you look 71 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.600 at that once again. So you're talking two weeks. You know, 72 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.560 aleian Zelima, do they make their way into the semifinal. 73 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:53.079 As we discussed with our buddy, you know Torres yesterday 74 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:54.920 when we were in Valdosta. 75 00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:56.800 It's one of. 76 00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:58.639 Three things that could happen. You sit there and it's 77 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:05.639 a walkover. The team that was the visitor gets the duke. 78 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.279 So it would be uh Whenniversa Dad did. Chile would 79 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:12.319 advance on a walkover, or you play it over and 80 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.680 you see what happens, or you boot somebody out and 81 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.639 then you figure out the semifinals from there. I don't 82 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.240 know how you would have either of these clubs work 83 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:24.959 their way forward. 84 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:25.680 I really don't. 85 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:31.000 And there's a lot of things to discuss. We still 86 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.199 have the number. The last number that we had I 87 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:38.279 think was nineteen injured out of what happened, and frankly, 88 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:43.680 I'm grateful that it was less. But it's right now 89 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:49.439 at nineteen and you're staring at con the ball first 90 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:50.000 and foremost. 91 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.480 Okay, how are you going to respond to this? 92 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:57.519 It was interesting and as you know, you go through 93 00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:01.199 your algorithms, you know, and your timelines and souff and 94 00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:05.600 you have like things just kind of pop up. And 95 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:10.959 there was a a rant that was posted that was 96 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:16.360 attached to one of the big name pundits in Argentina 97 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.680 and it was Mariano Claus and he literally was having 98 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.639 both teams habit with as many as many shots as 99 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:31.800 he could. And what class said on the air yesterday, 100 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.360 he said in an editorial that he wrote for ESPN, 101 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:38.240 he was highly critical of the whole thing. It is 102 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.160 the savagery of the Universidad fans against the savagery of 103 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.720 the Independente fans. So basically he was letting both sides 104 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:49.959 have it, understandably. So article from Redgold Dot Colombia, the 105 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:53.040 renowned Argentine commentator stated quote, I understand the role of 106 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:56.399 the intertwined players the anti racism message. They said, that's positive, 107 00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.319 but let's do something because the conflicts will be back 108 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.240 in the stadiums. Common Ball as Tall talking to national presidents, 109 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.439 city mayor's and security personnel. Then he began detailing the 110 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.639 steps to follow for organizing a match in Argentina. Quote 111 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.240 they tell me that's as far as they go, meaning 112 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.600 Conmo ball, because it's up to the organizers in the 113 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.279 city where the soccer match is being played. So conmo Ball, 114 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:24.279 according to Class, basically says, Okay, it's our tournament, but 115 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:28.120 it's your match. Since you're the local folks, you get 116 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.519 to handle it. You know better than us. We'll leave 117 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:31.839 it in your hands. We trust you. 118 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:35.439 Closs. Quote they tell me that's as. 119 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.319 Far as they go, because it's up to the organizers 120 00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:39.199 in the city where the soccer match is being played. 121 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:40.839 I have the report after the meeting with all the 122 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:46.000 relevant agencies firefighters, security companies, health logistics, municipal transit and 123 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:47.000 stadium management. 124 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:48.560 Continues. 125 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.079 This is the prior conclusion, not the conclusion after this. 126 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.199 In this match, the visitors stand and this is translated 127 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:57.600 from a red goal. In this match, the visitors stand 128 00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:59.800 will be the upper South stand while the lower part 129 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.759 will be the home fans stand. During the meeting, the 130 00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.759 advisability of not having fans in the lower stand was raised, 131 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:07.879 but it was reported that that seat was sold out. 132 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.560 So Closs, in his information gathering, got the pre plan 133 00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:16.639 and the idea was to put the whenever I said, 134 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.560 the Chile fans in the two hundred section like we 135 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.319 were talking about in the in the if you picture 136 00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:26.959 it as a normal US based set up, So the 137 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.600 original plan was to have the visiting fans in the 138 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:32.120 two hundred section in the end zone and no one below. 139 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.039 But the seats below had already been sold out. 140 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:37.720 So you were going to have home fans in the 141 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:40.039 in the end zone one hundred, and you were going 142 00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:42.879 to have visiting fans in the end zone two hundred 143 00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.200 and so that's what that was what Class said in 144 00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:50.519 the paperwork that he was given initially in the pre 145 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:53.399 in the pre meetings, in the pre planning, just in 146 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.519 case anything was missing quote as a preventative measure, police 147 00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.639 and private security personnel were deployed in the visiting stand 148 00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:02.039 to prevent fans from throwing objects are causing any kind 149 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:06.879 of disturbance. It was suggested Class stated something evidently wasn't implemented. 150 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.480 Once again, wrote Red Goal says. On the night of Wednesday, 151 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:14.200 August twenty. Class is clear that Independent's management failed to 152 00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:17.600 comply with safety recommendations for hosting the rematch against Universa 153 00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:20.960 Dad to Chile. He provided an irrefutable piece of information 154 00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.399 to confirm his theory of negligence on the part of 155 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:27.279 the board headed by Nestor Grindetti. Remember Grendetti. We had 156 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:29.679 his quote yesterday on the interview that he had with 157 00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:34.360 Tay Say and Grendetti was discussing that it was all 158 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:36.559 on the universe of Dad to Chile fans. And remember 159 00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:38.759 in our segment with with you know Tores, basically it 160 00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:44.600 was like, uh, he's half right, So there you go 161 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:50.559 with with Grendetti, and so Class has quote Independiente's board 162 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:53.399 of directors doesn't comply with private security or the police. 163 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.720 The problem is why Intependientes's supporters have to act as 164 00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.080 police officers. Remember the conversation we got into about the 165 00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:02.200 bra of the bars. They have to act as police 166 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:04.519 officers and no one stops them. That's the problem with 167 00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:10.360 the leadership. According to Claus, Class also reflected on the 168 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:15.039 videos and at the end of it. At the end 169 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.720 of his rant, Claus basically says it happens in Brazil 170 00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:20.360 where almost everything happens. But here the suggestion regarding the 171 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:25.600 handling of the visiting fans wasn't followed. So that's that's 172 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:28.559 kind of where we are. Like I said, we're still 173 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:35.720 waiting on any kind of news. And according to Pedro Coates, 174 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.519 it looks like it's going to be about two weeks. 175 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:41.840 No real surprise there, that Common Ball is going to 176 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.639 look at all the evidence and we'll see what Comma 177 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:51.159 Baal comes up with. But yes, it does appear, and David, 178 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:55.919 good morning to you and Jordan, it does appear where 179 00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:01.399 that as you're looking at it, you have this you 180 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.519 have a a governing body. It's like, yeah, it's our 181 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.240 tournament and all this kind of stuff. But then when 182 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.759 it comes to the end of it all, oh no, no, 183 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:11.960 we we gave the we gave the response, the local 184 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.080 responsibilities to We give the responsibilities to the local club 185 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:17.600 and the team and the local police. It's up to 186 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.200 them to figure it out. They come up with the plan, 187 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.519 we'll sit there and go okay, cool. But that's about it. 188 00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:31.360 So right now, it gives the appearance that con Ma 189 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.320 Ball is like, yeah, okay, uh cool, great, fine, looks good, 190 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.759 looks good, everybody's in the tournament, everybody's happy, everything's cool, 191 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:42.320 so on and so forth. Oh no, No, it's up 192 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.519 to you all to figure out all the all the things. 193 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:46.639 You know. 194 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.279 We we're just we're giving you the tournament, We're giving 195 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:55.759 responsibility to you. I will be continually intrigued in this situation, 196 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:58.639 especially how con Mabal responds at the end of it. 197 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:02.720 If con Mabal does not. 198 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.320 Blow both teams out and just go ahead and send 199 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:10.960 Alan Zelima into the semi finals on a walkover, then 200 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.120 you know that it's going to be There's going to 201 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:20.919 be hell, absolute hell. And so that that is the 202 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:23.080 the palace intrigue over the next couple of weeks as 203 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:26.200 to what it's going to look like and how many 204 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.679 folks are going to be yelling from the mountaintops on 205 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:36.320 this one. And David, Yeah, it's it is. The the 206 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.000 passing of the buck is what this appears to be. 207 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:44.519 Where you were discussing Copo America, David finds it bonkers, 208 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:48.080 visiting fans knowingly outnumbered started ish with home fans below them. Generally, 209 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.200 I think the setup is most likely best outcome, but 210 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.240 put but put some blank in security up there. Yeah, 211 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:57.720 I mean, that was apparently that was the initial thought. 212 00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:02.840 But we get into the Closs quote and you saw 213 00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:11.480 no security, you saw no police, and they weren't up 214 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:12.240 there at the beginning. 215 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:14.440 They weren't up there. 216 00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:20.480 In round two, we saw them outside. They were outside 217 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.919 in that cordon leading the fans from Universa Diad to 218 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.559 Chile down that one path and out the door and 219 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:29.720 this is how you're exiting, and it's it's up to 220 00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:35.600 you after that. Literally, that's the only video that we 221 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:41.279 have of knowing where the police were. They were outside 222 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:45.360 ground floor making sure that the Universa did the Chile 223 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:50.519 fans had this one pathway out and they lined it 224 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.759 didn't matter what you looked like, didn't matter, you know, 225 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:55.519 you know, if you were, if you were healthy, if 226 00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:58.039 you were if you were bloody or whatever, this is 227 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:04.200 your pathway and this is you see you later. So 228 00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:08.279 that was uh hmmm, yeah, So that was the Uh 229 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.759 that's kind of the latest. So and I say kind 230 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:14.759 of the latest because we don't have like update updates. 231 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:16.320 Give it a couple of weeks. 232 00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:22.120 I'm intrigued what Conabal has to say, and I'm intrigued 233 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:23.279 what they're going to do in this case. 234 00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:26.039 Blow them both out. 235 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:32.679 Find one, find both, you know to what extent. But 236 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:38.559 I would firmly anticipate a statement from ConA Baal after 237 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:41.399 the fact when they come up with their final decision 238 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:47.159 something like this, let's let's let's play, let's play press 239 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:51.519 release here for a second. They come up with the decision, 240 00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:58.360 they say, what it is. We are disappointed that the 241 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:03.480 events of twe August twenty twenty five ended the way 242 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.080 that they did. There is no place in the sport 243 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:09.080 for the behavior of fans acting in such a manner 244 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:14.559 in a tournament that is as well respected worldwide as 245 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:20.000 the Copasuit Americana. We hope that these decisions that Conno 246 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:23.240 Ball makes going forward will be adhered to, and that 247 00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:27.399 local authorities and teams will do their best to make 248 00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:31.399 sure that these guidelines will be adhered to going forward. 249 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:35.759 We have nothing for the to say in this matter, 250 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.240 something like that, you're you're going to end up with 251 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.000 Cono Ball making a decision. It will be three or 252 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:46.320 four paragraphs. You'll have the big quote from folks in charge. 253 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:49.440 They'll say how disappointed they were. You know, we try 254 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.519 to put on a great tournament. We try to do 255 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.360 all the you know, we try to do things that 256 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:59.720 will determine a champion in South America, and so you'll 257 00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:03.559 end up up with opening statement with penalties paragraph from 258 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.240 important person and then they will try and sit there 259 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:09.279 and then you will have after that it will be 260 00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:15.679 statement of statement of effect going forward, possibly mentioned an 261 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:21.360 appeals process something like that. But you have until hang on, 262 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:23.039 let me. This is like I said, this is what 263 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:27.240 happens when you're a device down. Win are the semi finals. 264 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:30.279 So from our friends at odds Portal, and we will 265 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.519 be discussing things with our friends at Odds Portal. Here 266 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:34.879 in a second, we'll go over the MLS schedule and 267 00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:38.240 we'll go over the we'll go over the schedule of 268 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.240 the Premier League as well. So Copa suit Americana playoffs 269 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:48.799 September sixteenth, So you have Lenus of Flemenense, Independente del 270 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:51.519 vall On, Caldas, Bolivar and Atletico those. 271 00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:52.279 Are the three that we know. 272 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.240 September sixteenth, right now, that's kind of that's where we 273 00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:59.799 are in the Sud Americana. 274 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:06.319 As we as we wait for a decision on who's 275 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:06.720 gonna play. 276 00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:11.559 Alianza, Lima and Aleian Zelima made their way through knocking 277 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.519 off Universa dot Katolika at a plus four sixty nine 278 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:18.680 in that particular match. So alean Zelima waits for their opponent. 279 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:23.640 September sixteenth is your date for determining. Okay, who's gonna 280 00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:28.559 play when? But everybody's lined up for September sixteenth. Give 281 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:33.720 it until maybe Labor Day our time, because then you 282 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:35.720 have to have teams figure out, okay, where are they playing, 283 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:38.759 what they do and all that kind of stuff. So 284 00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:40.519 give it to about Labor Day. Then you'll come up 285 00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:42.240 with your statement from connon Ball. Let's see how much 286 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:47.880 responsibility conno Ball takes in this situation. My immediate feeling 287 00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:51.960 is not much, and we'll see what happens. We'll see 288 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:56.160 what happens there. All right, let's get into juice boxes 289 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.279 and our previews for Major League Soccer. Like I said, 290 00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:00.599 we're gonna have Ross Smith in case coming up an 291 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.200 hour number two. They're gonna go over Ross has Nashville 292 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:05.440 and that matchup, so we'll get into that with him. 293 00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:08.119 We get into some Major League soccer, we'll get into Nashville, 294 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:11.559 we'll get into we'll get into his thoughts on his 295 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:16.039 matchup in all of its glory but let's get into 296 00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:19.200 the other matchups in Major League Soccer and let you 297 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:22.640 know what the juice boxes are in this. So as 298 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:26.599 as Ross has Nashville and the Purple Team, we'll get 299 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:29.440 to that one on second seven forty starts. And we 300 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:32.240 also have to get into announced Cruise and ref Cruise. 301 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:33.640 We'll get into that at the end of the show. 302 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:37.359 Montreal and Austin. Montreal is a plus one fifty four 303 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.240 favored at home. Austin FC is a plus one fifty nine. 304 00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.240 It draws a plus two to fifty. I don't know 305 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:49.480 if Austin can score on the road. I don't anticipate 306 00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:52.960 this being a whole lot of goals. I would say 307 00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:55.559 probably that maybe Montreal squeaks out at least a point here. 308 00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:57.920 You end up something goal is something very very tight, 309 00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:01.680 So that would be my guess at the moment, would 310 00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:03.559 be something like that would be. 311 00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:05.759 All of that. 312 00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:09.960 So that's my gut is that there won't be a 313 00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:12.440 whole lot of goals in it, and there won't be 314 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:14.400 a whole lot to talk about in this one after 315 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:14.880 the fact. 316 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:16.759 So maybe one point. 317 00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:19.279 Each crew and the REVS cruise a minus one ninety 318 00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:21.559 two at home draws a plus three forty five. The 319 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:23.640 Revs are a plus four to thirty seven. Carlos Heel 320 00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:26.039 is looking for more offense and more folks to help 321 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:28.839 a man out Crew at home. I'm thinking it's going 322 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:30.160 to be the Crew at home at a minus one 323 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:31.839 ninety two, and I think that it's going to be 324 00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:34.799 a big matchup for Crew to get full points when 325 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.839 they really need it. DC and enter Miami. You don't 326 00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:40.640 know how many of the big guns are going to play. 327 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.400 There's still even money favored at a plus one hundred 328 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:48.440 going to d C. DC's a plus two twenty four. 329 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:50.640 A dog plus two twenty four at the bottom of 330 00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:53.839 the Eastern Conference draws a plus two to eighty seven. 331 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:56.079 This one might be lower scoring ozh and as it's 332 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:57.960 changing right now in front of us, Messi and friends 333 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:00.759 are now plus one oh two. But you don't know 334 00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:03.200 where the injuries are. You don't know who's going to 335 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:05.839 be playing after what happened in the midweek with the 336 00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:07.160 craziness of the league's cup. 337 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:08.920 So do you sit Messy? 338 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:12.480 Probably and folks are going to be disappointed that they 339 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:15.079 got tickets for matchups at Auti Field, And probably the 340 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:16.920 most exciting thing might be the beer snake in the 341 00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:21.200 end zone. So DC plus two twenty interer Miami plus 342 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:23.279 one h two draws a plus two eighty six, don't 343 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.920 touch it FC Cincinnati, and we got to get into 344 00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:28.119 the transfer window. 345 00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:28.400 Two. 346 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:33.400 FC Cincinnati minus one ten draws a plus two seventy eight, 347 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.799 and NYC is a plus two sixty two. Yeah, once again, 348 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.319 the inability of NYC to score goals turns into an issue, 349 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:43.240 and I think that Cincinnati takes care of business at 350 00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:43.960 a minus one ten. 351 00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:45.880 We'll get into standings too as we go. Sneaky good 352 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:46.279 game here. 353 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:49.920 Philadelphia and Chicago probably should take the over in this one. 354 00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:52.799 I'm thinking there might be a lot of goals, so 355 00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:54.960 Philly's a minus one twenty five. I still think that 356 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:58.759 Philadelphia wins. It might be something too one ish somewhere 357 00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:02.119 in there, three to one if Philly's chef, so Chicago's 358 00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:07.119 chasing late. So Philadelphia minus one twenty three. Chicago is 359 00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:09.200 a plus two eighty eight. In your draw is a 360 00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:12.519 plus two ninety six. So that's what you're you're staring 361 00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:19.000 at with that particular matchup Dallas and LAFC. FC Dallas 362 00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:22.200 eight forty kick is a plus two fifty two. Your 363 00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:24.880 draws a plus two sixty eight. Lafc's a minus one 364 00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:28.559 oh three. LAFC picked up a couple of folks in 365 00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:32.079 the secondary window, and we'll see how soon it is 366 00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:35.640 before they all integrate with the yongman Son think an 367 00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:37.799 LAFC is gonna take care of business on the road, 368 00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:39.960 and it's gonna be another three points in the shootout 369 00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:43.279 in the West, Houston and San Jose. Houston favored of 370 00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:45.200 the plus one o two just because you really don't 371 00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:46.839 know what San Jose team you're gonna get. 372 00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:49.039 Draws a plus two eighty. 373 00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:52.440 San Jose is a plus two twenty seven, And because 374 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:54.279 you don't know what San Jose team you're gonna get 375 00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:56.480 on the road, that's why you lean Houston. I'm not 376 00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:00.880 so sure. Probably something draw and a heavy total, that's 377 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.160 my guess. Nashville and Orlando. Like I said, Ross Smith 378 00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:06.039 will be joining us at ten o'clock Eastern. We'll catch 379 00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.079 up with him about this one. Nashville's a minus one 380 00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:11.279 oh nine, Purple Team's a plus two to fifty nine, 381 00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.480 and the draws of plus two seventy seven Orlando. After 382 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:18.319 what happened in the midweek, they're probably gassed, and so 383 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.920 this leans well into Nashville's favor at a minus one 384 00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:26.039 oh nine. So I'm thinking Nashville in this one. RSL 385 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:29.359 Minnesota United. RSL favored at home at a plus one fourteen. 386 00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:32.880 Minnesota is a plus two oh six. Draw is a 387 00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:39.359 plus two sixty nine. So RSL once again you're looking there. Yeah, 388 00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:42.359 probably with Minnesota, you know, on the road, not knowing, 389 00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:46.720 maybe a draw something one one two TWOISHU because of 390 00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:50.200 Minnesota United being clinical as they are. We're keeping an 391 00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:52.640 eye on the tiny Olawi Sai news where he might 392 00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:54.960 be transferred to England for the total of about seven 393 00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:55.519 and a half million. 394 00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:56.359 We'll keep an eye on that. 395 00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:02.559 Vancouver and all Caps. Vancouver a big favorite at home, 396 00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:04.880 understandably so nine to forty Eastern time. 397 00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:07.279 Draw's a plus three eighty two. 398 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:09.799 Saint Louis City is a plus sorry, Saint Louis City 399 00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:11.279 is a plus four to seventy nine. 400 00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:12.799 White Caps. 401 00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:15.960 I'm thinking this one fairly simply that they'll probably take 402 00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:19.440 care of business in that one. Lag in Colorado once again, 403 00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:23.759 with what happened in midweek, How does Lag look when 404 00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.160 it comes to a lineup they go to penalties in theirs. 405 00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:31.960 Colorado kind of waiting. Paxton Aronson had his press conference yesterday. 406 00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:34.079 Don't know if he's gonna have any minutes on the weekend. 407 00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:36.440 If he does, it might be a cameo in the back. 408 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.119 I'm thinking Colorado here at a plus one eighty eight 409 00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:43.039 or a draw to plus two seventy. I don't know 410 00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:45.960 if if LAG's gonna have the legs to go with 411 00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:49.559 Colorado for a full ninety minutes ten forty start out 412 00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:53.640 West and then San Diego also at ten forty, hosting 413 00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:56.680 Portland at a minus one sixty four. Portland is a 414 00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:01.559 plus three seventy and your draw is a plus three 415 00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:04.640 thirty three. I'm thinking San Diego in that one. That's 416 00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:09.119 your matchups for Saturday. Atlanta big favorite at home against 417 00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:12.640 Toronto at a plus three eighty eight and Atlanta United 418 00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:15.400 to minus one sixty seven draws a plus three twenty two. 419 00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:21.839 Charlotte Addlson, Milanda Gone Middlesbrough, so they'll have issues at 420 00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:23.279 the back trying to figure out how to fill that 421 00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:26.039 hole in the short term. Charlotte to minus one nineteen 422 00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:28.039 against Red Bulls, who are a plus two to seventy 423 00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:30.319 six draws a plus two ninety two. I'm not so 424 00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:33.880 sure about that one. I know that the Juice boxers 425 00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:35.920 are kind of looking at the offense for Charlotte at 426 00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:38.880 home going up against Red Bulls. 427 00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:41.119 I'm looking at the back for Charlotte. 428 00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:44.519 I think that might be opportunities for Eric Maximchupemo Tang 429 00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:49.279 and Emil Forsburg. So maybe the total here might be 430 00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:51.680 a higher scoring game than we anticipate. And I would 431 00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:55.920 think that Red Bulls have a puncher's chance. Seattle hosting 432 00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:58.640 Sporting the last matchup, and it is the late game, 433 00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:01.799 and so twenty what's twenty one hundred nine o'clock, so 434 00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:05.880 nine to twenty five Eastern time on Sunday night. It 435 00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:09.160 is Seattle and Sporting. Seattle is a minus two point 436 00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:13.200 fifty at home. After what happened in the mid after 437 00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:17.000 what happened in the midweek, Intrigued about whether Steph Fry 438 00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:19.480 is going to be in net, Andrew Thomas was basically 439 00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:23.279 given League's Cup, Hey, this is yours. And Andrew Thomas 440 00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:26.720 comes up big in PK's with two saves. So you 441 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.759 end up with the Andrew Thomas situation. Do you continue 442 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.039 to run Andrew Thomas out there considering how hot he's 443 00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:35.759 been in net. You have the injury issues with Seattle, 444 00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:38.160 but sporting on the road at a plus five thirty three, 445 00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:42.319 probably Jovilch gets his, no one else gets theirs. So 446 00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:44.920 it's probably two one three one something in there for 447 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:51.559 uh something in there for Seattle. So I'm guessing that 448 00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:55.839 that that's what you're staring at with those matchups as well. 449 00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:59.440 So that's that's my that's my gut. I welcome yours. 450 00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:03.799 Traditionally, when it comes to when it comes to these 451 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.880 kinds of things, take what I say with a grain 452 00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:12.279 of salt. I haven't hit anything since I was. 453 00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:14.680 Thirteen. 454 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:20.640 Really, I was in a I was with my dad 455 00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:23.119 and I ended up. 456 00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:25.839 We went to we went to the racetrack. Michael Parker's 457 00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:26.680 joining us in a second. 458 00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:30.200 And you know, as you do when you go to 459 00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:32.119 the racetrack for the first time, you know, you're thirteen. 460 00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:33.319 You're sitting there and you look at the horses. You 461 00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:34.799 always want to look at the book. You want to 462 00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:37.839 sit there and you're going, okay, so what's gonna what's 463 00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:40.039 the deal? So you always want to bet on the 464 00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:41.920 horses and things like that. So but of course you 465 00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:45.000 know when you're thirteen, you can't quite do that. So 466 00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:49.960 I go and there was a there's one race in particular, 467 00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:57.279 and it ends up as a horse that whose name 468 00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:04.480 I will never forget. Grandma Bojacks. Grandma's Bojacks was the horse, 469 00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:08.559 and I got the perfecta. I literally got one, two 470 00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:11.480 three four in that race. Of course, when you're thirteen, 471 00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:15.160 you can't bet on it, but if but if I had, 472 00:27:16.119 --> 00:27:18.759 it would have been a nice payday. I have got 473 00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:21.279 nothing right since then, when I was thirteen. 474 00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:22.559 Nothing. 475 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:25.200 So literally, if you've got if you've got a favorite, 476 00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:27.119 you've got your you've got your thing favored it out. 477 00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:29.079 You know, it's like, Okay, I'm gonna do this, this, this, this, 478 00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:31.319 and this. I'm gonna go here. I'm gonna hear what 479 00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:35.279 Nelson has to say. That's a bad idea. Don't do 480 00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:41.559 what Nelson says. Go the exact opposite direction, Go fleeing 481 00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:46.279 the other way. Do not trust me under any auspice 482 00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:49.440 or circumstance when it comes to anything having to do 483 00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:50.400 with juice boxes. 484 00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:53.279 Swear to God how this works. 485 00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:55.920 Now we go and check in with our mogul and 486 00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:58.279 training on the Friday free kick find out what's going 487 00:27:58.279 --> 00:28:01.160 on in the life of Parky and what else is 488 00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:02.920 going on? Because you know, he's having to juggle with 489 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:06.920 Yegermeister cup, like the actual cup, not like cups with 490 00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:08.079 Yeagermeister in it. 491 00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:08.519 People. 492 00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:10.839 Come on, now, he's got a tournament. Although there might 493 00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:13.839 be benefits there, I don't know. We'll bring in Parky. 494 00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:14.960 What's up, dude, morning? 495 00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:22.839 What sorry to hear about your scarring from juice boxes at. 496 00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:24.519 The age at the age of thirteen, when I was, 497 00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:28.880 when I was at the horse track. I mean, look, 498 00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:31.759 look when you go through all the juice boxes. Literally, 499 00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:33.359 it's like, okay, here's what I think. 500 00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:35.240 What do I know? What? 501 00:28:35.319 --> 00:28:38.880 How much do any of us know? Virtually nothing? So 502 00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:41.839 literally it's like, yeah, okay, this this, this sounds good, 503 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:43.799 this looks good, this looks good. What does Nelson say? 504 00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:46.000 Nelson gives you numbers? I said what I did? What 505 00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:51.720 Nelson said, you went the wrong direction. By the way, 506 00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:54.119 Greek's from a hotel room in Millgeral, Georgia. By the way, 507 00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:57.480 I'm not in office HD as you can tell here 508 00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:00.519 we go. Yes, No, it's it's that timing or where everything 509 00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:01.400 kind of blends together. 510 00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:02.880 Uh, and you know. 511 00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:04.519 And you know, when you're in a hotel, I'm gonna 512 00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:06.480 go ahead and lean lean to my right a little bit, 513 00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:08.359 you know. So you know, when you're in a hotel, 514 00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:11.319 you always try if you've got if you're stuck with 515 00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:13.880 this in the background, you always try to make it 516 00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:17.559 look like you made your bed. You know, even if 517 00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:19.759 you're a slob like me, It's like, okay, let's just 518 00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:21.240 make it look like it made the bed. 519 00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:21.559 And that way. 520 00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:23.400 So if something happens and I have to look this way, 521 00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:24.799 oh it's a clean hotel room. 522 00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:25.359 No, not. 523 00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:31.480 When you are in with college kicking back in this 524 00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:34.160 as we come screeching and I burned the transmission on 525 00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:38.599 this transition. Uh, college is kicking back in. High school's 526 00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:42.920 back in practice, and everything is ramping up. When it 527 00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:47.240 comes to you and Greg and your men, tees, how 528 00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:48.920 where is the pacing right now? 529 00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:49.839 Is it ramping up? 530 00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:52.200 Did it literally just slam on the gas and everybody 531 00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:54.759 hops back in the door. Is there a transition here 532 00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:57.559 or is it just basically like a light switch on off, on, off, 533 00:29:57.599 --> 00:29:57.960 on off. 534 00:29:58.039 --> 00:30:03.400 When I Commentory, well, we do run a sale in 535 00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:06.400 August because we know seasons are starting back up and 536 00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:13.559 help with preparedness, but not crazy as far as light 537 00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:19.119 switch style, because some players want to or parents want 538 00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:23.079 their players to be prepared as the preseason starts and 539 00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:24.440 get in the right mind. 540 00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:25.599 But often. 541 00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:31.160 History has told us that sometimes athletes wait until things 542 00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:36.200 aren't going perfect to seek us out, and so sometimes 543 00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:41.759 that needs to marinate a little bit within the start 544 00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.839 of a season. So based off of that, it's not 545 00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:47.599 a light switch which is nice for us. 546 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:53.279 Well, and does it you know, if you could and 547 00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:55.480 I don't know, if you could gently do it to 548 00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:59.599 where you're grabbing your mintees by the the lapels, you know, 549 00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:02.279 the the floppy collar from like the eighties and nineties 550 00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:04.599 on the soccer jersey, and it's like, look, it's a 551 00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:06.480 twenty four to seven three sixty five thing. 552 00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:07.599 Pacing is okay. 553 00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:10.799 It doesn't have to be something where it's like, oh, ish, 554 00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:13.960 something's wrong. I need to go check in with mentees. 555 00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:17.640 I mean, do you have to have these reminders? It's like, look, 556 00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:19.640 it's okay to reach out to me in an off season. 557 00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:21.839 It's okay, it's cool. That's kind of what this development 558 00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:23.759 thing is all about. Do you have to remind them 559 00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:25.279 sometimes and sit there and go, yeah, it's cool to 560 00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:25.640 talk to me. 561 00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:28.720 In the off season, for sure, we send out reminders 562 00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:32.119 to families and things because you know, ideally we'd love 563 00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:35.839 to and a big part of our mentoring is trying 564 00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:39.519 to give them the tools to handle the adversity when 565 00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:44.759 the adversity hits, so that they aren't hitting the ish. 566 00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:45.680 You know. 567 00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:50.759 They that's tough, right, It's it's tough for teenagers, which 568 00:31:50.839 --> 00:31:54.359 mostly we work with right to have that mindset right. 569 00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:56.559 They just want to think about the present and what's. 570 00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:57.440 Going on right now. 571 00:31:57.559 --> 00:32:00.279 And I'm sure we were the same way when we 572 00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:04.920 were teenagers, So I get it. It's tough, but yeah, 573 00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:07.559 that's why we try and connect with people a little 574 00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:09.119 bit in the off season. I get, yeah, you want 575 00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:11.440 to get away from soccer and everything, which is great, 576 00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:14.799 but you know, as the season kicks off, we try 577 00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:18.279 and have a session with everyone just to give them 578 00:32:18.319 --> 00:32:21.880 the tools again as a new season starts and expectations 579 00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:26.839 are there, and just figuring out their role, whether it's 580 00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:29.799 a new team or current team, or going into high 581 00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:32.240 school or going into college. It's it's all a challenge. 582 00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:34.799 So some of them do, some of them don't, and 583 00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:35.839 we take it from there. 584 00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:41.200 So when you you know, when you have how many 585 00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:41.960 how many mentees? 586 00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:43.200 Are we talking eleven y billion? 587 00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:47.359 Just under eleven dy billion? 588 00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:49.279 Yeah, that's the goal. 589 00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:51.200 Gets to eleven dy billion. 590 00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:54.359 And you've got you've got book on all of them, right, 591 00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:57.200 you have at least some kind of a whether it's 592 00:32:57.480 --> 00:32:59.160 is it is it a word doc or is it 593 00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:00.680 written down on legal pad? 594 00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:01.839 Or where do you keep your notes? 595 00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:05.440 Yeah, we do wear docs that way we can share 596 00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:07.079 I know, I'm sorry Google Docs. 597 00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:09.319 We don't do work, we don't do Microsoft. 598 00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:15.680 Yeah, so you keep running tally on all of your mentees. 599 00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:18.880 When they circle back to you at the. 600 00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:21.319 Beginning of a season, when that first round of ish 601 00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:22.880 happens and they all of a sudden, it's like, oh, 602 00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:26.240 I got to talk about you know, you've got your 603 00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:31.759 notes there with you. Are you able to process progression 604 00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:35.640 in conversations and even how they carry themselves, whether it's 605 00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:37.200 a couple of months at a time, if they go 606 00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:40.920 away and they handle themselves, they're handling themselves differently when 607 00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:42.640 they pop back in the door. Are you able to 608 00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:44.920 gauge that from the notes that you have and those 609 00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:49.000 initial conversations coming back or or is it one of 610 00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:52.599 those where I've got them. Intee, they're back in here. Okay, 611 00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:54.519 we're picking back up or we left off. I guess 612 00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:57.480 how much is how much is progression a part of 613 00:33:57.480 --> 00:33:59.160 it that you pick back up, and how much of 614 00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:01.119 it is like okay, literally is at the end of 615 00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:03.559 the last sentence when we last we're hanging out with 616 00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:03.960 each other. 617 00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:07.480 Yeah, it's like sixty forty seventy thirty about progression. I 618 00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:11.159 think we all need reminders about things that we've learned 619 00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:13.480 in the past. Right, It's tough for us to keep 620 00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:18.679 tally on everything. And so for sure, especially where the 621 00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:21.719 athlete is, of going back and giving some reminders about 622 00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:25.159 certain things that maybe presented themselves multiple times in the 623 00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:29.320 past or whatever. Or we're big concerns earlier, right, checking 624 00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:32.119 back in see how we're doing there, and. 625 00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:33.199 Then we progress from there. 626 00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:36.840 And you know, progression might be the same topic, just 627 00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:39.400 viewing it a little bit differently and talking about confidence 628 00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:43.960 differently and what it means to them now. And yeah, 629 00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:47.000 that's so it's not all different topics. It's just different 630 00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:49.519 approaches and based off of who they are, where they 631 00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:52.440 are and things. But you know, we're still at a 632 00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:56.159 point where we're young enough that and I don't even 633 00:34:56.199 --> 00:34:57.880 know if this will ever change, but the notes are 634 00:34:57.920 --> 00:34:59.960 good just to give us a friendly reminder. 635 00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:01.880 But usually when you get. 636 00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:04.960 Back on a call, you remember the person and kind 637 00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:08.119 of okay, yes, I remember you and what you were 638 00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:12.360 going through, and you know whether they're easy to talk 639 00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:14.480 to or not, or who's going to run the conversation. 640 00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:17.199 How involved are parents? Like all those little. 641 00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:22.639 Things, and you have all of these these issues. What 642 00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:26.599 what do you think is the biggest issue that you 643 00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:32.239 continue to tackle over time? Is there one that's more 644 00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:35.239 constant than the others, or is it still the variety 645 00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:37.519 of things depending on the mentee, or is there they're 646 00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:39.960 just one big thing that Yeah, this seems to be 647 00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:42.400 a common topic with mentees these days. 648 00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:49.920 Confidence is always one, yeah, But another big one is 649 00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:54.360 just understanding the journey is full of. 650 00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:58.679 Ups and downs, and you know when you when you. 651 00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:03.760 Zoom out, you hopefully see it going up, but when 652 00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:05.880 you zoom in you see some ups and downs, and 653 00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:08.039 up and downs and ups and downs and understanding, hey, 654 00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:13.760 these downs are normal, and just understanding that they're going 655 00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:15.320 to hit and that's okay. 656 00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:16.199 And so. 657 00:36:18.039 --> 00:36:20.320 That's the age of social media right where it's like, Hey, 658 00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:23.440 these people that are having success and these people that 659 00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:25.760 are out there having a great time, right, that's just 660 00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:27.920 how they live life twenty four seven, and that's how 661 00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:28.559 I should we live. 662 00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:29.400 In life twenty four seven. 663 00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:33.679 And then when you're not and challenges hit and adversity hits, 664 00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:37.000 or a bad grade comes in, or a tough training 665 00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:40.000 session or whatever it must be, where you get benched. Right, Well, 666 00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:45.320 everybody on Instagram's not doing that, so poor me type thing, 667 00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:47.679 So that's a big one for sure. 668 00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:53.239 Well, and how much of when you and Greg are 669 00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:57.920 talking to your mentees about the ups and downs do 670 00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:02.000 you try to remember to to have your mentee remember 671 00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:05.400 that it's about trying to stay in the middle as 672 00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:08.840 much as you can, because we all know and I 673 00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:10.639 know that we're surrounded by. 674 00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:13.119 Young athletes and it is. 675 00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:17.800 The extremes seem to rule more than the median, and 676 00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:22.960 success over time, I would imagine comes more from enjoying 677 00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:26.800 this and not locking into the bottom and remembering that 678 00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:29.639 that median is always what you're what you're aiming for, 679 00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:31.719 and not getting wrapped up in the highs and lows 680 00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:34.960 as much. Yeah, I'm sure, I mean, it's just it 681 00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:39.039 seems like something that And like I said, I know 682 00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:42.159 that we were fifteen, sixteen, seventeen. I mean I was 683 00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:45.519 back in the seventeen nineties. But you know, when you 684 00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:49.239 have these kinds of things, how difficult is it to 685 00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:54.239 remind them about being even keeled because of that youthful 686 00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:57.360 exuberance and wanting to sit there and go, yeah, I'm 687 00:37:57.360 --> 00:37:59.239 doing great or no, or no I'm not and I've. 688 00:37:59.159 --> 00:38:01.599 Got to fix it. How difficult is it to remind 689 00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:03.000 them about the happy medium? 690 00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:07.559 Sometimes it can be, for sure, and sometimes it's because 691 00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:12.159 players are constantly getting too high, more often because they're 692 00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:13.960 constantly being too hard on themselves. 693 00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:16.400 So it's all over the gambit. 694 00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:20.440 But regardless, Right, we talk about that median and that 695 00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:24.119 neutral line because it can serve so many benefits as 696 00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:27.159 far as just expectations if you're on the high side, 697 00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:29.920 but also it can serve as a. 698 00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:31.719 Goal if you're on the bottom side of it. 699 00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:34.840 Right, we don't have to get from negative ten to 700 00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:35.519 positive ten. 701 00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:38.719 Right, there's that zero in the middle. That's pretty good 702 00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:39.360 for most of us. 703 00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:42.440 Right, you're living a decent life if you're living right 704 00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:45.320 on that line, or at least you can be if 705 00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:49.000 you're viewing it that way. So you know that provides 706 00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:52.480 hope for people that are struggling with confidence. Right, I 707 00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:56.360 don't have to go from unconfident to super confident. 708 00:38:56.760 --> 00:38:59.000 I can go from unconfident. 709 00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:02.320 To feeling neutral, and from neutral I can play better, 710 00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:05.679 have more success, and gradually gain my confidence. 711 00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:08.159 How hard is that, though, I mean to remind him. 712 00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:11.079 You know, it's like we live in the extremes. Everything's 713 00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:14.440 cool or it's not. How difficult is to remind him 714 00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:17.239 that okay is okay? Because I mean it's like we 715 00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:21.400 live in this idea of everything's great, everything stinks. Everything's great, 716 00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:24.719 everything stinks. Just have a just have a good day 717 00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:28.119 is having a good day and then starting that winning 718 00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:31.400 streak of good days? Is that something that you literally 719 00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:33.159 have to pound in the folks. Sometimes it's like, look, 720 00:39:33.159 --> 00:39:35.519 it's okay to have a zero. It's okay, instead of 721 00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:36.960 being a minus ten or a positive ten. 722 00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:38.960 It's it's it's cool. Don't worry about it. 723 00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:39.760 Mm hmm. 724 00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:40.840 Yeah. 725 00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:43.880 I have to tell myself that even today John out 726 00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:47.280 on the golf course, right, hey, just have an okay day. 727 00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:50.159 Don't have a shocker here, you know, don't put up 728 00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:53.159 a snowman, just get a bogie. It's fine, right, But 729 00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:55.119 when you're in it, that's tough. 730 00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:56.800 Because you want to be good and you want to 731 00:39:56.800 --> 00:39:58.360 be the best, and you want to challenge yourself. You 732 00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:02.199 want to push yourself. So it's it's natural within all 733 00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:04.559 of us. But yes, when you take a step back 734 00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:07.760 and you say, hey, if my bad day was just 735 00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:11.960 okay and it wasn't brutal, right, it makes it really 736 00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:15.039 easier to bounce back. And that's the biggest thing, because 737 00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:17.920 we're all going to have these off days and bad 738 00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:21.199 moments and bad things and whatever, right, but how quickly 739 00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:26.639 can we rebound is usually the differentiator between people. And Yeah, 740 00:40:26.679 --> 00:40:28.920 if we make it easier for ourselves to bounce back, 741 00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:30.960 and we have some tools that are going to help 742 00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:34.400 us bounce back, then we can try and separate ourselves 743 00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:37.039 and then you know, some of those really good days 744 00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:38.360 come a little bit more often. 745 00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:41.760 How hard are you and Greg on yourselves when it 746 00:40:41.800 --> 00:40:45.079 comes to wanting to do right by all of your mentees. 747 00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:51.599 Yeah, it's definitely something we work on because of course 748 00:40:51.639 --> 00:40:54.960 it's only two of us, and it's you know, it 749 00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:58.800 takes time, and nothing's you know, every session that we 750 00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:04.719 have is our time. It's nothing automatic here, and so yes, 751 00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:06.360 we want to be there for everyone and we want 752 00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:08.159 to do everything, but we also have to say no 753 00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:11.639 sometimes and we have to We can't partner with everyone 754 00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:14.400 and do everything, and we have to be strategic about things. 755 00:41:14.440 --> 00:41:16.639 And you know this this summer was a good example 756 00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:19.360 for me, Like I did not have a super productive 757 00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:23.559 summer in terms of work, but I had a super 758 00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:27.840 productive summer in terms of enjoyment and being around the 759 00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:31.440 kids and enjoying you know, one of the last few 760 00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:33.519 summers I have with them in the house and everything. 761 00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:36.760 And so for me, that was the priority this summer and. 762 00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:39.960 Just understanding and having that knowledge of hey, I can 763 00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:42.800 catch up with this work and I can get back 764 00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:45.840 on it and you know, focus more time. But that's 765 00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:49.840 that's always tough because you feel like you're letting someone 766 00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:55.280 down and you hate to do that, especially especially as 767 00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:58.360 a mentor. Right you're supposed to be helping other people up. 768 00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:01.840 And so yeah, it's always a struggle, but we just 769 00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:02.519 do the best you can. 770 00:42:03.159 --> 00:42:06.000 Our resident m I. T. Grad Michael Parkhurst hanging out 771 00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:06.320 with us. 772 00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:09.000 Did you see that, John, You see m I T. 773 00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:11.840 Did you get it?

M I T. 778 00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:19.840 It's not no, then what is it? What is it? 779 00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:23.760 M I T. Mobile and training and training?

I 785 00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:46.679 know that when your mentees are of that age, they 786 00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:48.880 want to please everybody. They want to be they want 787 00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:50.360 to be in the end Click. They want to be 788 00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:52.840 in that group. They want to be that person that 789 00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:55.039 you know they they want to they want to make 790 00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:57.440 sure that, uh, they want to make sure that. Gretchen 791 00:42:57.480 --> 00:43:00.400 Wiener's is is you know, a happy person, so I'm 792 00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:02.239 twenty four to seven three sixty five, and that you're 793 00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:03.719 in part of the end Click and that you're not, 794 00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:06.920 you know, outside of it. Do you tell your mentees 795 00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:08.960 it's okay to say no. Do you have those conversations? 796 00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:11.239 Do they even ask about that kind of stuff? Because 797 00:43:11.599 --> 00:43:13.480 we're in that age group, we always want to be 798 00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:15.159 pleasing to folks and we want to sit there and 799 00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:17.000 be our best. Do you tell do you talk to 800 00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:18.079 them about that kind of thing? 801 00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:19.519 Rarely? 802 00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:21.800 Actually, John, that you mention it, and maybe I should. 803 00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:24.559 Maybe it's something I should kind of institute a little 804 00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:29.760 bit here and there, especially for the more adolescent teenagers. 805 00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:31.719 Right, the older. 806 00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:32.679 Ones here that are, you know, sophomore June and your 807 00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:37.000 seniors having choices of what they want to do sometimes 808 00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:38.840 after school and who they hang out with and what 809 00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:41.719 friends are doing. I mean, for sure, we talk about 810 00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:46.840 saying no in terms of sacrifices and if you've got 811 00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:48.639 a game on a Saturday and all your buddies are 812 00:43:48.719 --> 00:43:50.440 doing something on a Friday night and they're having a 813 00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:53.239 sleepover and you want to go right, and hey, there's 814 00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:55.400 sacrifices to be made in order to have success, and 815 00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:59.119 you can't have everything, so what's the priority? And so 816 00:43:59.159 --> 00:44:02.079 there's there is that, but that's less of the pleasing 817 00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:06.559 thing and more towards sacrificing and dedication type stuff. So 818 00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:10.000 but no, you know, that is probably something that we 819 00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:13.599 should look into and discuss a little bit more. Even 820 00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:16.559 with the younger generation of Hey, people pleasing and what 821 00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:21.760 that what goes into that and you know versus what 822 00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:22.719 do you want to do? 823 00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:25.320 And who are you? And does this make you happy? 824 00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:26.039 Type stuff? 825 00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:29.480 And uh, I mean like and that was literally just 826 00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:31.599 from the conversation that we had. That was why that 827 00:44:31.639 --> 00:44:34.800 popped up into my head. I was like, well, you know, 828 00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:38.119 we we think that we're bulletproof at that age. Legitimately 829 00:44:38.199 --> 00:44:40.199 doesn't matter how many things we got going on. We 830 00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:43.320 think that we can go until two thirty three o'clock 831 00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:45.239 in the morning, go on four hours of sleep, roll 832 00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:47.559 out of the racket seven o'clock, go to dunkin Donuts 833 00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:50.400 and go to the go to the game, and everything's 834 00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:51.800 locked in and everything's fine. 835 00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:53.639 I mean, it's. 836 00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:58.880 Patience, it's pacing, it's understanding. Okay, you can't you can't 837 00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:02.000 go on undred miles an hour all the time if 838 00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:06.519 you want to be better at doing all these other things. 839 00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:09.920 It just to me, I know that I sit there 840 00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:11.920 and I'm looking at all these young athletes today and 841 00:45:11.920 --> 00:45:12.920 they all look bulletproof. 842 00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:17.000 They really do. But I'm just I. 843 00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:21.880 Am in I'm in awe of what you and Greg 844 00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:25.440 do because of the level of patience that you guys 845 00:45:25.719 --> 00:45:28.920 piece together with all of these individuals and want to 846 00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:32.000 make sure that this next generation is approaching it the 847 00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:35.559 right way and that they're not you know, that nothing 848 00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:38.639 gets left out and that they continue to do things 849 00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:41.719 the way that it's supposed to be done. And I mean, 850 00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:43.800 it's just it's just something that's come across from me 851 00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:45.639 that you guys wanted to take this on in the 852 00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:49.400 first place, to do this kind of stuff. Do you 853 00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:52.079 do you feel the impact that you guys are having, 854 00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:53.639 You get I know you may not necessarily get to 855 00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:55.800 see it all the time, but do you do you 856 00:45:56.119 --> 00:45:58.000 kind of gauge the impact that you guys are having 857 00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:00.239 with what you're doing there beyond goals? 858 00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:04.400 Sometimes sometimes yeah, sometimes sometimes we get good feedback and 859 00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:07.360 we see somebody have success. We see somebody commit to 860 00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:10.920 a college, you know, be very happy with where they're at. 861 00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:14.679 You know, talking to a few pros lately that are 862 00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:18.679 in circumstances they want to change, and you know, when 863 00:46:18.760 --> 00:46:21.960 something comes out of that and you know they see 864 00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:25.119 things a little more clearly, that's success in my eyes. 865 00:46:25.159 --> 00:46:29.079 So yeah, you know, there's there's definitely some moments where 866 00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:31.320 we feel good about what we're doing. To get back 867 00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:35.480 to what you were saying earlier, John, about you know, 868 00:46:35.559 --> 00:46:37.239 telling kids that you know it's okay. 869 00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:37.360 To say no. 870 00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:40.559 Sometimes I can just foresee a parent of like a 871 00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:43.360 twelve or thirteen year old saying, well, my kids said 872 00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:45.400 no that I'm not going to do chores this week 873 00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:46.920 because that doesn't make me happy. 874 00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:51.320 Yeah, yeah, you've run that. You've already run that game, 875 00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:51.719 haven't you. 876 00:46:52.079 --> 00:46:55.440 Barky told me I can say no and do things 877 00:46:55.440 --> 00:46:57.320 that make me happy and not feel pressured. 878 00:46:58.199 --> 00:47:03.800 Yes, exactly. My men said this.

Entering our resident 886 00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:27.960 in our mogul and training, I noticed you got a 887 00:47:27.960 --> 00:47:30.000 banner over your your left shoulder in the office. 888 00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:30.960 Now I noticed this. 889 00:47:31.719 --> 00:47:37.519 Yes, yeah, yes, that's from the first inaugural game at 890 00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:39.079 the stadium. 891 00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:40.440 How did that feel? 892 00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:45.440 And this guy over here, I bring this out for 893 00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:50.639 all event the other day.

It's like you're seeing improvement, but 903 00:48:26.760 --> 00:48:28.920 it's not coming into results. I guess that's something else 904 00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:31.360 we could talk about with your mentees. What's it like 905 00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:35.599 to see the current state of affairs with Atlanta United 906 00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:37.880 the way that it is right now, with only a 907 00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:39.519 handful of matches left at home this year. 908 00:48:41.199 --> 00:48:44.000 It's tough. Not going to sugarcoat it. 909 00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:44.400 It's tough. 910 00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:50.840 Thanks. Uh yeah, obviously a far cry from where it 911 00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:52.199 was a few years ago. 912 00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:58.920 But you know, I'm a half glass full, and you know, 913 00:48:59.400 --> 00:49:05.400 I understand there's huge expectations every season, I think, particularly 914 00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:07.800 going into this season based off of the off season 915 00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:12.320 last year and the finances and everything right, And so 916 00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:14.039 I think that's what makes it more frustrating, because it's 917 00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:19.079 not a lack of effort from the front office. 918 00:49:19.079 --> 00:49:20.400 That things haven't gone well. 919 00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:24.239 And you know, it's easy to say, oh, it's because 920 00:49:24.679 --> 00:49:27.000 this guy got injured or this guy was missing, or 921 00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:29.760 oh we just don't have a good striker, Oh this 922 00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:32.880 that or the other thing. It's more frustrating when you 923 00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:36.400 can't exactly pinpoint it and say, hey, we've spent money, 924 00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:38.559 we've got a talented roster, we should be good enough 925 00:49:38.599 --> 00:49:41.039 to be at least a playoff team. 926 00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:43.400 Why isn't it clicking? Why can't we do it? Type thing? 927 00:49:43.480 --> 00:49:47.079 That's where the frustration really lies for probably most people, 928 00:49:47.480 --> 00:49:48.679 and including the players. 929 00:49:48.960 --> 00:49:52.679 I've been there. My last year in Columbus was like that, 930 00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:54.920 why can't we win? 931 00:49:55.320 --> 00:49:59.760 I don't know why? And it's super frustrating. And yeah, 932 00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.280 there's nowhere to sugar go to it. There's no one 933 00:50:03.480 --> 00:50:08.199 that's from players to staff to fans that's enjoyed this season, 934 00:50:08.440 --> 00:50:14.159 and that's frustrating. But I do think that you know, 935 00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:18.639 given the league and Arthur's ambition and the club and 936 00:50:18.679 --> 00:50:21.920 where we're at that, there's no reason why we can't 937 00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:22.960 be a top team next year. 938 00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:25.960 When are you playing golf? When's your tea time? 939 00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:29.440 I wish I was playing today, but I did play 940 00:50:29.480 --> 00:50:32.840 the other day, John, John, I've been playing really well lately. 941 00:50:33.159 --> 00:50:34.039 Yeah. 942 00:50:34.239 --> 00:50:36.840 Yeah, I've got my handicapped down to I think it's 943 00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:41.159 right at eleven. Who I shot at eighty five yesterday 944 00:50:41.159 --> 00:50:42.960 with an eight on the last hole. 945 00:50:43.639 --> 00:50:44.880 Wow, So that. 946 00:50:44.960 --> 00:50:49.159 Was frustrating finish, but I played well, and so for me, 947 00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:50.960 that's really good golf. 948 00:50:51.880 --> 00:50:54.679 The single digit handicap is within sight. 949 00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:57.440 Wow. See. 950 00:50:57.800 --> 00:51:01.719 I play better the longer the gap time between rounds, 951 00:51:02.280 --> 00:51:04.920 Like I play like back to back or like twice 952 00:51:04.960 --> 00:51:05.440 in a week. 953 00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:07.159 That's second round. I'm awful. 954 00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:09.840 If I haven't played in like six months and I 955 00:51:09.880 --> 00:51:13.280 go out cold Turkey, I'm crushing it nice. 956 00:51:13.679 --> 00:51:15.480 It's just it's stupid that way. 957 00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:19.280 I can't explain it. I'm probably in eighteen. I mean, 958 00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:23.800 I'm probably, I mean I break ninety. But it's like 959 00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:26.000 I got I've got a new set of clubs. The 960 00:51:26.039 --> 00:51:27.559 boss was like, we've got to get rid of your 961 00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:31.280 old metal shafts, and I've had to dial everything back 962 00:51:31.320 --> 00:51:34.800 to zero. My yardages are just screwed up because I 963 00:51:34.840 --> 00:51:39.480 now have callaways with the graphite shafts or the composites, 964 00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:42.840 and I'm back to zero. It's like literally, it's like 965 00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:45.199 I'm sitting here and because of my swing speed and 966 00:51:45.199 --> 00:51:48.280 everything everything, you know, I'm two and three club club 967 00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:51.199 links ahead. It's like I'm hitting nine irons one fifty 968 00:51:51.199 --> 00:51:52.360 two with my old clubs. 969 00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:53.840 With the nine iron. 970 00:51:53.880 --> 00:51:55.719 Now I'm back to one ten and I'm sitting there 971 00:51:55.719 --> 00:51:58.360 and I'm piddling around, and I'm going, okay, you know 972 00:51:58.400 --> 00:52:01.760 when it goes one ten, and dealing with new clubs, 973 00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:04.719 especially with new fangle technologies, stinks. 974 00:52:05.039 --> 00:52:06.480 Man, it's awful. 975 00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:11.880 Well, I hope to have that problem someday. But I 976 00:52:11.960 --> 00:52:17.239 told myself, my my Nikes, everyone, everyone's always amazing that 977 00:52:17.239 --> 00:52:18.360 I play with Nike clubs. 978 00:52:18.440 --> 00:52:18.760 I got. 979 00:52:18.800 --> 00:52:23.039 I got the whole thing, you know, Driver Woods, irons, 980 00:52:23.079 --> 00:52:26.840 the whole thing except for a putter and put the 981 00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:31.840 putter John I got from play it against sports like 982 00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:33.440 three four weeks ago. 983 00:52:33.480 --> 00:52:34.599 To be a game changing for me. 984 00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:36.119 But that's the thing. 985 00:52:36.320 --> 00:52:39.559 It's like literally your club and and that's the thing. 986 00:52:39.559 --> 00:52:41.800 It's like your clubs are your clubs.

She's got a couple of games this 1063 00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:02.440 weekend to get into. We'll go over what happened with 1064 00:56:02.440 --> 00:56:05.360 Florida State and the low down, dirty cheaters and Gainesville, 1065 00:56:05.920 --> 00:56:08.960 and we'll, you know, with her call with Jen Hildreth, 1066 00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:12.320 we'll get into that, and then we'll wrap up the 1067 00:56:12.360 --> 00:56:18.480 show with what to watch, gossip, MLS, secondary transfer windows, stuff, 1068 00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:20.199 all of all of those things. 1069 00:56:20.239 --> 00:56:21.039 We'll probably get into that. 1070 00:56:21.039 --> 00:56:24.199 With Ross a little bit too, and we'll find out 1071 00:56:24.639 --> 00:56:27.199 what's on his mind, and we might recap the life 1072 00:56:27.199 --> 00:56:31.400 and times of Brenner while we're at it, because Cincinnati 1073 00:56:31.840 --> 00:56:35.559 making a whole lot of moves and Paxon Aronson coming 1074 00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:38.639 into the league, and so we'll get into the minutia 1075 00:56:38.760 --> 00:56:41.880 of the window, you know, in the last fifteen minutes 1076 00:56:41.920 --> 00:56:44.920 of the show, but probably the bulk of it. We'll 1077 00:56:44.920 --> 00:56:47.519 talk Nashville, talk Orlando, we'll talk that match up, talk 1078 00:56:47.559 --> 00:56:49.920 about it Lanta, and talk about the secondary transfer window 1079 00:56:49.920 --> 00:56:52.159 with Ross when he pops up here in just a 1080 00:56:52.159 --> 00:56:52.599 little bit. 1081 00:56:53.280 --> 00:56:56.119 Apparently the and. 1082 00:56:56.079 --> 00:56:58.199 There have been another couple of moves that were announced 1083 00:56:58.320 --> 00:57:00.440 this morning by the way, that I guess made it 1084 00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:03.320 across the one am deadline, and so we'll see what 1085 00:57:03.400 --> 00:57:07.440 happens there joining us now, Oh, he's got his seat 1086 00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:11.159 belt on, so it is safe guesting with Ross Smith 1087 00:57:11.960 --> 00:57:13.880 and we'll try and get our best Tony husband story 1088 00:57:13.880 --> 00:57:18.280 while we're at it too, So there's ro yes, see 1089 00:57:18.280 --> 00:57:20.360 that's the idea. 1090 00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:25.360 Hi John, Nice, nice to see you. 1091 00:57:25.360 --> 00:57:27.920 You're to be seen. Let's see, so you are safe 1092 00:57:27.960 --> 00:57:29.599 guesting this morning? Where are you, sir? 1093 00:57:30.119 --> 00:57:32.800 I am my apologies. I am actually heading to Nashville. 1094 00:57:32.880 --> 00:57:39.559 Essy's training right now. Okay, so yeah, so whenever, yeah, whenever, 1095 00:57:39.920 --> 00:57:42.440 I mean it's I'm in market, I live in Nashville, 1096 00:57:42.440 --> 00:57:45.360 I'm based out of here. But on the Fridays, I 1097 00:57:45.519 --> 00:57:47.679 love the access we get with Apple to be able 1098 00:57:47.679 --> 00:57:50.280 to get on the training ground and chat with the coaches, 1099 00:57:50.320 --> 00:57:52.719 and coaches have warmed up to it a bit more 1100 00:57:52.800 --> 00:57:55.360 than the first year when they're a bit a bit. 1101 00:57:56.320 --> 00:57:58.440 A bit skeptical of what we're up to coming. 1102 00:57:58.280 --> 00:58:00.519 Onto the training ground, but now it's it's fantastic and 1103 00:58:00.679 --> 00:58:01.760 the insight you get is. 1104 00:58:03.239 --> 00:58:05.360 There's nothing like it to prep for the games. 1105 00:58:05.960 --> 00:58:08.119 So you got BJ Callahan. 1106 00:58:08.159 --> 00:58:09.960 When you get to show up on Fridays, what's it 1107 00:58:10.039 --> 00:58:12.960 like to see the BJ Callahan era in Nashville compared 1108 00:58:12.960 --> 00:58:14.760 to what Gary Smith had, and he had going. 1109 00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:20.239 On a different culture and I would say a different language. 1110 00:58:20.599 --> 00:58:23.400 And bj Callahan from the first day when he stepped 1111 00:58:23.400 --> 00:58:26.519 on the training ground, the words that he was using 1112 00:58:27.079 --> 00:58:30.840 is so different and unique to any other manager, not 1113 00:58:30.840 --> 00:58:33.280 not just Gary Smith. He's made it his own and 1114 00:58:33.320 --> 00:58:35.360 he's believed that the players, they all need to be 1115 00:58:35.440 --> 00:58:37.639 on the same page as part of creating the culture 1116 00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:40.239 that he wants, but the understanding as well. 1117 00:58:40.280 --> 00:58:42.039 So he went when he uses certain. 1118 00:58:41.840 --> 00:58:44.679 Terms and granted that was, you know, a year ago 1119 00:58:44.679 --> 00:58:46.280 when he started out. Now when I'll step on the 1120 00:58:46.280 --> 00:58:49.760 training ground today, everybody's talking the same talk. And I 1121 00:58:49.800 --> 00:58:53.960 think that's it's really interesting to you know, to to 1122 00:58:54.000 --> 00:58:57.039 sort of see that. And then the style of what 1123 00:58:57.119 --> 00:58:59.920 you go into and how he's approached it. He's very 1124 00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:03.920 meticulous with his attacking phase of play and the spaces 1125 00:59:03.960 --> 00:59:07.239 guys get into. It's been, uh, it's been really neat 1126 00:59:07.280 --> 00:59:09.320 to see him operate and how it's come together. 1127 00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:12.320 What unlocked Sam Surage. 1128 00:59:13.719 --> 00:59:18.199 His position, I think his position and I know Gary 1129 00:59:18.199 --> 00:59:20.119 Smith was was looking at that as well. 1130 00:59:20.159 --> 00:59:22.599 And I think with. 1131 00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:24.760 With Sam playing more towards like a left winger and 1132 00:59:24.800 --> 00:59:26.559 that's when he played, That's where he played when he 1133 00:59:26.599 --> 00:59:27.840 was across in England. 1134 00:59:28.840 --> 00:59:30.840 You know, I think that's his sweet spot. You know. 1135 00:59:30.880 --> 00:59:34.000 It's It's interesting because Sam, when I say what stands 1136 00:59:34.000 --> 00:59:36.079 out whenever you have a designated player, I always say 1137 00:59:36.079 --> 00:59:38.760 they have to have a separating feature. And when Sam 1138 00:59:39.039 --> 00:59:41.880 first came in, I thought, I really don't know. He 1139 00:59:41.880 --> 00:59:45.000 doesn't have blinding pace. He's not a beast in the air, 1140 00:59:46.039 --> 00:59:49.039 and it's not as though its back to goal he's 1141 00:59:49.119 --> 00:59:52.719 bullying center backs. So what separates them? And for me 1142 00:59:52.800 --> 00:59:56.159 now it's it's right place, right time. He understands where 1143 00:59:56.519 --> 00:59:58.599 he needs to be. I think bj Callahan has made 1144 00:59:58.599 --> 01:00:02.760 that very clear. And Honey Mooktar also raising his game 1145 01:00:03.000 --> 01:00:05.000 back to the levels that we've always known to Handy 1146 01:00:05.079 --> 01:00:07.360 since he's come into the league. You know, Hani's backed 1147 01:00:07.360 --> 01:00:10.000 as well, and that certainly helps Sam surge. But you know, 1148 01:00:10.440 --> 01:00:13.000 the positioning, the starting position of Sam surg I think 1149 01:00:13.039 --> 01:00:15.280 he feels a lot more comfortable and he's used to 1150 01:00:15.320 --> 01:00:17.400 that position from from when he was at his best 1151 01:00:17.400 --> 01:00:18.039 back in England. 1152 01:00:20.000 --> 01:00:25.679 Traditionally it would be for going up against Nashville. You 1153 01:00:25.800 --> 01:00:29.159 pin in Honey Mooktar you cut off the supply lines. 1154 01:00:29.800 --> 01:00:33.800 Nashville doesn't have that second option. Now under BJ, you've 1155 01:00:33.800 --> 01:00:36.760 got Sam and then there are some other supporting players 1156 01:00:36.800 --> 01:00:40.159 that take advantage of this positional gravity. Who else, in 1157 01:00:40.199 --> 01:00:44.039 your mind, has benefited the most from the unlocking of 1158 01:00:44.159 --> 01:00:49.719 surage and Honey getting back to being Honey. 1159 01:00:48.599 --> 01:00:51.679 It's a great, great question, And you know, I'll tie 1160 01:00:51.679 --> 01:00:53.400 this back in when he said, you know the difference 1161 01:00:53.400 --> 01:00:56.119 with Gary Smith, I would say Gary didn't. He didn't 1162 01:00:56.159 --> 01:00:59.760 have Patrick Gasbeck, he didn't have Eddie tag Seth and 1163 01:00:59.800 --> 01:01:02.599 they make a massive difference. And the style to which 1164 01:01:02.599 --> 01:01:05.000 BJ can play now is that they can press higher 1165 01:01:05.079 --> 01:01:09.880 up the pitch, they can keep teams, teams locked in 1166 01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:12.360 their own half, they can keep their team on the 1167 01:01:12.360 --> 01:01:14.920 front foot in the front half, and so they make 1168 01:01:14.920 --> 01:01:17.559 a massive difference. So there's wave after wave now coming. 1169 01:01:17.639 --> 01:01:19.960 I don't think Eddy Tags Steth John has been given 1170 01:01:20.079 --> 01:01:24.039 enough credit for what he is is done for the team. 1171 01:01:24.079 --> 01:01:26.159 If there was an MVP category in terms of the 1172 01:01:26.199 --> 01:01:29.840 most truly the most valuable player, he's got to be 1173 01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:32.480 in the conversation for what he does winning second balls, 1174 01:01:33.280 --> 01:01:35.719 you know, biting at the other teams their ankles, not 1175 01:01:35.760 --> 01:01:38.559 allowing them to find a rhythm in the game. He 1176 01:01:38.679 --> 01:01:42.039 makes the most difference for guys like Schaffelberg to go 1177 01:01:42.119 --> 01:01:44.199 And I still don't think we're quite seeing the best 1178 01:01:44.199 --> 01:01:48.320 of Schaffelberg. We're seeing it in in glimpses. 1179 01:01:48.559 --> 01:01:49.280 What he can do. 1180 01:01:49.760 --> 01:01:53.119 But Alex Mweel, I think he's the biggest benefactor of 1181 01:01:53.679 --> 01:01:55.960 what we've seen in terms of players off the radar 1182 01:01:56.800 --> 01:01:59.119 to what you wouldn't notice right away. You want to 1183 01:01:59.119 --> 01:02:02.800 talk about Surge and want to talk about Hanimuktar. Now 1184 01:02:02.840 --> 01:02:04.880 we're starting to talk about teg Seth and Patrick Gasbeck. 1185 01:02:05.000 --> 01:02:07.480 I think alexman Wheel has had the best season he's 1186 01:02:07.480 --> 01:02:10.599 had an MLS's the position he takes up. It's the 1187 01:02:10.960 --> 01:02:13.840 role he's been asked to do. And you know the 1188 01:02:13.880 --> 01:02:17.000 guys that are around him as well. I've certainly benefited 1189 01:02:17.000 --> 01:02:21.639 from the quality of of tech Seth and the aspect. 1190 01:02:22.400 --> 01:02:25.400 Russ Smith practicing safe guesting on his way to practice 1191 01:02:25.400 --> 01:02:28.280 this morning in Nashville, hanging out with us year on 1192 01:02:28.599 --> 01:02:29.760 s d H A M. 1193 01:02:29.800 --> 01:02:33.280 It is the Purple team coming to g otis. 1194 01:02:34.559 --> 01:02:38.000 We can't we can't use the word here in an 1195 01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:39.079 Atlantic program. 1196 01:02:39.159 --> 01:02:41.480 Ross so uh. 1197 01:02:41.559 --> 01:02:45.880 They played in the midweek, Gallesse ends up getting the 1198 01:02:45.960 --> 01:02:48.440 same and the shot and the clincher in the PKS, 1199 01:02:48.440 --> 01:02:52.199 which was insane. What kind of a lineup are you 1200 01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:55.559 anticipating for the Purple team coming to the Fairgrounds and 1201 01:02:55.599 --> 01:02:57.599 the Speedway to take on Nashville this weekend. 1202 01:02:59.239 --> 01:03:02.000 I think it's really uh, it's it's interesting. 1203 01:03:02.039 --> 01:03:03.239 I don't know. 1204 01:03:04.079 --> 01:03:06.079 And the one thing is that's helped them is that 1205 01:03:06.119 --> 01:03:09.599 their their game next weekend, which my my partner Tony 1206 01:03:09.679 --> 01:03:12.239 husband and I we were gonna be covering their game 1207 01:03:12.239 --> 01:03:15.960 has been pushed now to October eleventh, and so that 1208 01:03:16.039 --> 01:03:18.639 allows them then to maybe turn out a stronger team 1209 01:03:18.679 --> 01:03:21.000 today to be able to then flip that around and 1210 01:03:21.320 --> 01:03:24.000 turn it turn it around against Miami knowing that they 1211 01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:26.079 have next weekend, you know. 1212 01:03:26.079 --> 01:03:31.000 With without that game. So I it's it's interesting. 1213 01:03:31.039 --> 01:03:35.960 I think Oscaria, that's the one the one standout feature 1214 01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:38.280 to what he's done is depth in this team, and 1215 01:03:38.639 --> 01:03:42.159 he's he's almost got two players for each position. And 1216 01:03:42.159 --> 01:03:44.599 and for me, Oscar Perea, I don't think he's in 1217 01:03:44.639 --> 01:03:47.639 the conversation enough for for being sought manager. What he 1218 01:03:47.679 --> 01:03:50.599 does with players from scattered all over the world, and 1219 01:03:50.639 --> 01:03:53.480 I know that's the league we're in now, but there's 1220 01:03:54.239 --> 01:03:57.000 there's no better example than Orlando, where, you know, I 1221 01:03:57.000 --> 01:03:59.679 feel like you have two players from from each part 1222 01:03:59.719 --> 01:04:01.360 of the world world that have come to his team 1223 01:04:01.480 --> 01:04:05.239 and they found the common thread. So getting back to 1224 01:04:05.280 --> 01:04:09.480 your question, you know, I think it'll be a semi 1225 01:04:09.480 --> 01:04:11.880 strong team, but I don't think it matters because I 1226 01:04:11.920 --> 01:04:13.599 think he's got the rotation, he's got the buy in, 1227 01:04:13.719 --> 01:04:17.000 and he's got he's got twenty players that at any 1228 01:04:17.000 --> 01:04:18.400 point can step in and do the job. 1229 01:04:19.480 --> 01:04:22.840 And I think what we've also seen with Oscar and 1230 01:04:23.159 --> 01:04:27.119 probably like over the last two seasons, it seemed like 1231 01:04:28.599 --> 01:04:32.719 old Oscar when he realized, Okay, I'm safe, I'm in 1232 01:04:32.800 --> 01:04:33.559 the playoffs. 1233 01:04:33.679 --> 01:04:37.000 Everythink's cool. He would decelerate. 1234 01:04:37.679 --> 01:04:40.440 And then it's like, okay, purple teams in the playoffs, 1235 01:04:40.519 --> 01:04:43.679 everything's cool, and then they hit the wall the second 1236 01:04:43.719 --> 01:04:44.800 they get into the postseason. 1237 01:04:44.840 --> 01:04:46.880 That's not the case anymore with Orlando. 1238 01:04:46.920 --> 01:04:49.599 They're just still pedaled down and they haven't taken the 1239 01:04:49.639 --> 01:04:52.400 foot off the accelerator win their late season anymore. 1240 01:04:53.519 --> 01:04:56.119 They know what they are, John, and I mean, first 1241 01:04:56.159 --> 01:04:58.440 and foremost, when you talk about all the stylistic points 1242 01:04:58.440 --> 01:05:00.880 that I think in Nashville will get and you know, 1243 01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:05.159 teams like San Diego, first and foremost, they are horrible 1244 01:05:05.199 --> 01:05:07.719 to play against Orlando, and I think they embrace it. 1245 01:05:07.800 --> 01:05:10.360 Every game they go in. It's a street fight, it's 1246 01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:12.159 a brawl, and teams know it. They have to be 1247 01:05:12.280 --> 01:05:14.199 up for it. They have to be up for the gamesmanship. 1248 01:05:14.199 --> 01:05:17.760 Players like Schlegel, I think he defines what Huscar Perea's 1249 01:05:17.800 --> 01:05:21.239 side is all about. That he will fight and he'll 1250 01:05:22.320 --> 01:05:26.880 he'll go for every little moment to go his way, 1251 01:05:27.480 --> 01:05:31.159 and that is just It reverberates throughout the whole team, 1252 01:05:31.239 --> 01:05:33.480 and that's what they're about. So first and foremost they fight, 1253 01:05:33.840 --> 01:05:35.599 and I think they wear you down. And then you 1254 01:05:35.639 --> 01:05:37.559 get into a long season, you start to step into 1255 01:05:37.599 --> 01:05:40.559 playoffs and you think, oh my goodness, we've got Orlando again. 1256 01:05:40.880 --> 01:05:43.079 You know, the body's maybe a bit tired. We're piecing 1257 01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:45.000 ourselves together and we got to go up against this 1258 01:05:45.079 --> 01:05:47.559 team who aren't going to give us a second to breathe. 1259 01:05:48.360 --> 01:05:49.679 That's where they get at you, and that's where I 1260 01:05:49.679 --> 01:05:52.360 think they become stronger and stronger because every single player 1261 01:05:52.400 --> 01:05:55.199 knows what they're about. Every single player fights for their 1262 01:05:55.239 --> 01:05:58.719 lives for every single ninety minutes, even at this stage 1263 01:05:58.760 --> 01:05:59.239 of the season. 1264 01:05:59.440 --> 01:06:02.920 So then how do you combat that kind of a team. Say, 1265 01:06:03.000 --> 01:06:06.320 say you're on the opposing touchlown, You're going into this 1266 01:06:06.440 --> 01:06:08.480 matchup knowing it's going to be a street fight. Do 1267 01:06:08.519 --> 01:06:10.760 you match street fight for street fight? Do you change 1268 01:06:10.760 --> 01:06:13.760 your mindset a little bit? How do you attack a 1269 01:06:13.760 --> 01:06:14.880 street fight in this case? 1270 01:06:17.400 --> 01:06:20.400 Yeah, it's it's difficult because you can't get sucked in 1271 01:06:20.760 --> 01:06:23.280 because that's exactly what they want is to rile you up. 1272 01:06:23.559 --> 01:06:25.519 But then at the same time, you can't back down. 1273 01:06:25.920 --> 01:06:28.840 So you have to find that that balance of not 1274 01:06:28.880 --> 01:06:31.960 losing your head and and think about you know what 1275 01:06:32.360 --> 01:06:35.039 Messi in his first year, nobody could figure out the 1276 01:06:35.039 --> 01:06:38.639 formula to to to beat Miami until Orlando came out 1277 01:06:38.920 --> 01:06:41.039 along in a ujo in the center of the park, 1278 01:06:41.079 --> 01:06:43.800 God under Messi's skin, you know, and you thought, that's 1279 01:06:43.800 --> 01:06:46.920 the first player to do that to Messi. And Orlando 1280 01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:51.440 turns Miami over. It's impressive. You gotta find the balance. 1281 01:06:51.519 --> 01:06:54.119 You got to find the balance, and you've you've got 1282 01:06:54.119 --> 01:06:57.599 to as best as you can let your quality show through, 1283 01:06:57.719 --> 01:06:59.360 and that's will have plenty of it. You know, if 1284 01:06:59.360 --> 01:07:02.199 you don't have the then you have to grind it 1285 01:07:02.199 --> 01:07:05.000 out against them, but you you have to match it 1286 01:07:05.039 --> 01:07:07.280 to a certain level. But you have to trust that 1287 01:07:07.320 --> 01:07:10.199 your quality and you have to rise above it with 1288 01:07:10.199 --> 01:07:11.239 with your ability levels. 1289 01:07:11.320 --> 01:07:14.159 Okay, let me go through secondary transfer window. Will do 1290 01:07:14.199 --> 01:07:15.880 some of the greatest hits here. As you're on your 1291 01:07:15.920 --> 01:07:21.639 way to practice, Paxton Aronson comes from Europe comes back 1292 01:07:21.679 --> 01:07:25.440 to Major League Soccer. That's another big get for MLS 1293 01:07:25.480 --> 01:07:27.280 three point zero whatever you want to call it. You 1294 01:07:27.320 --> 01:07:30.840 now have players from Europe who are of the US 1295 01:07:31.079 --> 01:07:34.280 M and T quality coming back to play here in 1296 01:07:34.360 --> 01:07:37.280 Major League Soccer. How big a get is having somebody 1297 01:07:37.320 --> 01:07:39.960 like Aaronson come back to Major League Soccer. 1298 01:07:41.920 --> 01:07:45.360 At his age as well the European experience. 1299 01:07:46.800 --> 01:07:49.039 You know, you've seen it with Mahalovich when you know 1300 01:07:49.119 --> 01:07:51.880 coming back to Colorado and then obviously Toronto and the 1301 01:07:52.239 --> 01:07:55.280 amount of money they've paid. So it's it's great for 1302 01:07:55.519 --> 01:07:58.280 It's great for MLS getting guys in their prime and 1303 01:07:58.320 --> 01:08:00.440 wanting to come back to a league that you know 1304 01:08:00.440 --> 01:08:02.280 they were very much a part of before and helping 1305 01:08:02.360 --> 01:08:02.719 to grow. 1306 01:08:03.159 --> 01:08:04.239 And I think that's. 1307 01:08:04.039 --> 01:08:06.599 Important when you hit on that point, is that players 1308 01:08:06.639 --> 01:08:08.480 who want to be here to see the league grow. 1309 01:08:08.880 --> 01:08:10.719 I think you're starting to see more and more of that. 1310 01:08:11.039 --> 01:08:13.280 Yes, you know Paxton being American, but you've seen other 1311 01:08:13.320 --> 01:08:15.400 players from outside the country. They want to be part 1312 01:08:15.400 --> 01:08:19.000 of something and to push it forward. But in terms 1313 01:08:19.039 --> 01:08:21.159 of this transfer, when John is as well with other 1314 01:08:21.840 --> 01:08:25.760 you know, big ticket names coming in, obviously Muller, obviously 1315 01:08:26.680 --> 01:08:28.000 Sun for for l a FC. 1316 01:08:28.920 --> 01:08:30.239 You know, everybody's making a push. 1317 01:08:30.319 --> 01:08:34.560 Columbus crew have gone out and signed a designated attacker, 1318 01:08:34.640 --> 01:08:37.319 designated player attacker, spend a lot of money on it, 1319 01:08:37.640 --> 01:08:39.560 you know, Cincinnati. I don't know if it's over the line, 1320 01:08:39.600 --> 01:08:42.560 but Brenner's coming back. It sounds like who was terrific. 1321 01:08:42.560 --> 01:08:44.680 I don't know if that's over lined by today, but 1322 01:08:44.800 --> 01:08:46.680 it's just the names that are coming back in and 1323 01:08:47.159 --> 01:08:52.279 more and more. The talent is UH is improving. And 1324 01:08:52.279 --> 01:08:54.199 and I'll finish on this with what has stuck with me. 1325 01:08:54.279 --> 01:08:56.399 I sat with Jim Curtin. I think it was the 1326 01:08:56.439 --> 01:08:59.800 start of last season and Jim Kurtin, I'm waiting to 1327 01:08:59.800 --> 01:09:01.800 see where he's going to pop up. But Jim Curtin said, 1328 01:09:02.359 --> 01:09:06.159 what other league overpays for players than MLS? And he said, 1329 01:09:06.199 --> 01:09:08.359 we'll go out and we'll spend a little bit more 1330 01:09:08.439 --> 01:09:10.399 to be able to bring in the talent. And he's 1331 01:09:10.479 --> 01:09:12.479 right when you do actually sit and you think what 1332 01:09:12.600 --> 01:09:15.600 other leagues in the world will pay the money that 1333 01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:16.600 that MLS is paying. 1334 01:09:16.800 --> 01:09:18.600 And you know it's a it's a. 1335 01:09:18.640 --> 01:09:22.439 League now that is taking you know, more investment, further 1336 01:09:22.520 --> 01:09:24.520 pride in the talent coming in and they're willing to 1337 01:09:24.720 --> 01:09:26.399 spend a bit more than other leagues to bring that time. 1338 01:09:26.439 --> 01:09:28.159 All right, what's your best Tony husband story? I know 1339 01:09:28.199 --> 01:09:29.720 you turn into a pumpkin here in a second. 1340 01:09:32.680 --> 01:09:36.439 Oh my goodness, my best Tony husband's story. 1341 01:09:37.159 --> 01:09:41.319 You know what Tony Tony as he's never won for 1342 01:09:41.359 --> 01:09:44.680 a signature goal call. And this one stands out to 1343 01:09:44.720 --> 01:09:48.279 me because Tony to find humor in his own jokes. 1344 01:09:48.640 --> 01:09:50.600 You know, that's that's never won for him. But our 1345 01:09:50.960 --> 01:09:54.399 Saint Louis game last year, we had Nelly, who was 1346 01:09:54.479 --> 01:09:56.960 from Saint Louis going to be He delivered the match 1347 01:09:56.960 --> 01:10:00.600 ball and he was in the stands and he is asked, producer, 1348 01:10:00.680 --> 01:10:03.079 if Saint Louis score, make sure you get. 1349 01:10:03.079 --> 01:10:05.800 A shot of Nelly because I've got a great goal call. 1350 01:10:05.840 --> 01:10:08.520 And that's never Tony Tony's gold calls are always, you know, 1351 01:10:08.560 --> 01:10:11.760 off the cuff, and he had it ready that and 1352 01:10:11.800 --> 01:10:13.840 he didn't tell me, and it wasn't until after the 1353 01:10:13.840 --> 01:10:15.479 game it was nil nil, so I never got to 1354 01:10:15.479 --> 01:10:19.000 do the gold call. But he wanted if Saint Louis scored, 1355 01:10:19.039 --> 01:10:20.399 it was going to be a shot of Nelly and 1356 01:10:20.439 --> 01:10:21.079 he was gonna go. 1357 01:10:21.159 --> 01:10:26.880 Oh, it's getting hot in here. See it's so cheesy. 1358 01:10:26.960 --> 01:10:29.680 John though, it's so cheesy. 1359 01:10:29.720 --> 01:10:31.920 But I thought that's brilliant and it had me in 1360 01:10:32.039 --> 01:10:35.159 stitches because it's so unlike Tony and he was so 1361 01:10:35.239 --> 01:10:36.119 happy with it. 1362 01:10:36.319 --> 01:10:38.760 Well, I would have I would have said that something 1363 01:10:38.840 --> 01:10:40.760 like I'm from the lou and I'm proud. That would 1364 01:10:40.760 --> 01:10:42.399 have been what I would have done if it was 1365 01:10:42.720 --> 01:10:45.680 a Nelly shot in there. Just don't talk plymouth argyle 1366 01:10:45.760 --> 01:10:49.119 with him. I think that's the key with you can't 1367 01:10:49.119 --> 01:10:52.079 talk because all right, full disclosure, Tony's been on with 1368 01:10:52.159 --> 01:10:56.359 us in this time slot before and over my shoulder 1369 01:10:56.399 --> 01:10:58.359 in my studio, I'm in a hotel room about two 1370 01:10:58.399 --> 01:11:01.880 hours east southeast of Atlanta today in my studio space 1371 01:11:01.960 --> 01:11:05.840 over my shoulder, I have the Plymouth argyle AFC Wimbledon 1372 01:11:06.520 --> 01:11:10.760 promotion playoffs scarf over my shoulder because I'm a member 1373 01:11:10.800 --> 01:11:11.640 of the Dons trust. 1374 01:11:11.720 --> 01:11:12.199 I forgot. 1375 01:11:12.239 --> 01:11:15.920 I kind of conveniently forgot to tell Tony that that 1376 01:11:15.960 --> 01:11:18.680 I'm a Don's trust and so literally I just I 1377 01:11:18.840 --> 01:11:20.520 shifted over and I said, yeah, and I've got that, 1378 01:11:20.560 --> 01:11:22.479 and he noticed that I had the plymouth arg gyle 1379 01:11:22.720 --> 01:11:23.439 thing there, and it's. 1380 01:11:23.399 --> 01:11:25.319 Just like, yeah, man, we're just we're not good this year. 1381 01:11:25.359 --> 01:11:27.680 And it's literally, if you get him going on a 1382 01:11:27.680 --> 01:11:30.840 plymouth argyle riff, he's gone and you can't bring him back. 1383 01:11:30.880 --> 01:11:31.920 And it's awesome. 1384 01:11:33.520 --> 01:11:35.640 To me and with Wayne Rooney when he went there 1385 01:11:35.760 --> 01:11:36.880 and he couldn't believe it. 1386 01:11:36.880 --> 01:11:38.199 It was. It was tough times. 1387 01:11:38.199 --> 01:11:40.319 We were having an extra pint at the bar nights 1388 01:11:40.359 --> 01:11:43.880 after games to talk about to commiserate over his time 1389 01:11:43.920 --> 01:11:46.159 with h With Rooney, I've got to ask you before 1390 01:11:46.199 --> 01:11:47.880 I know, You've probably got to cut me loose. But 1391 01:11:48.319 --> 01:11:52.600 so you are Don's Dons, and are you Don's Wimbledon AFC. 1392 01:11:54.439 --> 01:11:55.920 Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. 1393 01:11:56.000 --> 01:11:58.840 You just mentioned you mentioned a team that's a bunch 1394 01:11:58.880 --> 01:12:03.479 of carpetbaggers, sir, that the on the ones that exited. Okay, 1395 01:12:03.560 --> 01:12:05.399 so here here's the deal. And I thought you were 1396 01:12:05.399 --> 01:12:07.600 turning into a pumpkin because you parked. Okay, so I 1397 01:12:07.680 --> 01:12:11.239 got a couple of minutes here full disclosure. When I 1398 01:12:11.640 --> 01:12:15.000 when I started, like a decade or so ago, getting 1399 01:12:15.039 --> 01:12:17.880 back into the EFL and the English Pyramid and all 1400 01:12:17.880 --> 01:12:19.439 that kind of stuff, I thought it would be cool 1401 01:12:19.720 --> 01:12:23.399 to join a trust in each of the divisions. And 1402 01:12:23.520 --> 01:12:27.279 so what I did is I joined Swansea's trust, I 1403 01:12:27.479 --> 01:12:32.960 joined Pompey's trust, I joined AFC Wimbledon, and I joined 1404 01:12:33.039 --> 01:12:36.920 Scunthorpe United. And I'm like, okay, I've got one in 1405 01:12:37.039 --> 01:12:39.159 each and you know, it costs like sixty bucks a 1406 01:12:39.239 --> 01:12:41.760 year to do all four and that's cool and everything. 1407 01:12:42.199 --> 01:12:44.880 And you know, when Portsmouth was being sold, they send 1408 01:12:44.960 --> 01:12:47.359 you this forty page document that you've got to go 1409 01:12:47.479 --> 01:12:50.319 through and you know, approve it to Michael Eisner, all 1410 01:12:50.359 --> 01:12:52.479 this kind of stuff, and I'm like, yeah, great, I've 1411 01:12:52.520 --> 01:12:54.319 got one in each of the four divisions. Then that 1412 01:12:54.319 --> 01:12:57.279 whole prorail thing got in the way, and so literally 1413 01:12:57.399 --> 01:12:59.840 I'm now having teams playing each other that I have 1414 01:13:00.079 --> 01:13:03.479 trusts again with, you know, so it's like AFC Wimbledon's 1415 01:13:03.479 --> 01:13:07.079 playing Portsmouth and I'm losing my hair about what's going 1416 01:13:07.119 --> 01:13:08.319 on with all of this stuff. 1417 01:13:08.359 --> 01:13:10.199 But no, I am AFC Wimbledon. 1418 01:13:10.279 --> 01:13:12.159 I've got the document on the other side of the 1419 01:13:12.199 --> 01:13:13.399 desk back in the office. 1420 01:13:13.840 --> 01:13:14.239 Uh. 1421 01:13:14.279 --> 01:13:17.840 And so that literally was I'm look when AFC Wimbledon. 1422 01:13:17.880 --> 01:13:20.119 And I didn't tell Tony this either. When Ak and 1423 01:13:20.199 --> 01:13:26.079 Finn was scored the penalty to secure promotion, I was 1424 01:13:26.239 --> 01:13:31.159 screaming in the office and the boss back home. Literally 1425 01:13:31.199 --> 01:13:34.560 she comes running downstairs and she's like, what is going on? 1426 01:13:34.720 --> 01:13:37.199 Is everything okay?

But yeah, So that's 1430 01:13:43.560 --> 01:13:45.520 I didn't tell Tony that part about Ak Andfinn won 1431 01:13:45.560 --> 01:13:45.920 the PK. 1432 01:13:46.079 --> 01:13:50.279 I didn't get it.

Thanks so much. 1459 01:14:49.840 --> 01:14:51.840 John the evet that goes Ross Smith, He's going to 1460 01:14:51.840 --> 01:14:56.159 practice and yeah he's in Nashville and so so Ross 1461 01:14:56.199 --> 01:14:59.680 now knows my secrets. Uh, Casey D's going to join 1462 01:14:59.720 --> 01:15:01.520 us in a ten minutes. We're going to talk things. 1463 01:15:01.800 --> 01:15:05.119 We mentioned Brenner and I wanted to get into Brenner 1464 01:15:05.159 --> 01:15:07.640 here for a second, and we'll get into all of 1465 01:15:07.640 --> 01:15:11.279 the moves that happened in the MLS secondary window, and 1466 01:15:12.119 --> 01:15:14.680 Brenner was the one that stuck out to me. So 1467 01:15:15.399 --> 01:15:18.199 it appears, and I don't think I've gotten anything from 1468 01:15:18.279 --> 01:15:22.880 SC Cincinnati in the mail that breaks down. Okay, Brenner 1469 01:15:23.039 --> 01:15:25.159 is now back at FC Cincinnati. I don't think that's 1470 01:15:25.159 --> 01:15:27.560 officially official through the club yet. I'll go back and 1471 01:15:27.560 --> 01:15:29.359 look at my emails or back and look at the website. 1472 01:15:29.359 --> 01:15:32.920 I don't think it's official. But when Laurel Fayler broke 1473 01:15:33.039 --> 01:15:36.079 this yesterday as something to happen before the end of 1474 01:15:36.079 --> 01:15:40.039 the window, I literally was like, are you blanking kidding 1475 01:15:40.039 --> 01:15:44.680 Mete with this? So here's the from Jeff Carlisle parts 1476 01:15:44.720 --> 01:15:48.199 of three seasons with Cincinnati twenty twenty seven goals, seventy 1477 01:15:48.199 --> 01:15:52.479 two league playoff appearances, twenty twenty two, eighteen and thirty one. 1478 01:15:54.039 --> 01:15:56.439 Itching to make a move Overseas, transferred to an Essay 1479 01:15:56.439 --> 01:15:57.960 for a fee of around eleven million in the middle 1480 01:15:57.960 --> 01:16:01.079 of the twenty three season. Struggled to make much of 1481 01:16:01.119 --> 01:16:04.039 an impact in Italy, scoring just twice in nineteen League 1482 01:16:04.079 --> 01:16:06.720 and Cup appearances, hoping to recapture his form back in 1483 01:16:06.800 --> 01:16:10.840 Major League Soccer. Cincinnati and Udinase are looking to complete 1484 01:16:10.840 --> 01:16:13.640 the deal. Like I said, this was last night about 1485 01:16:13.720 --> 01:16:18.039 seven o'clock, and so it was trying to figure out, Okay, 1486 01:16:18.079 --> 01:16:25.199 what's the deal and how it was that Brenner was 1487 01:16:25.239 --> 01:16:29.359 working his way back to FC Cincinnati and so Bogert 1488 01:16:29.840 --> 01:16:34.439 same time last night around dinner time loan from UDINASEI 1489 01:16:34.520 --> 01:16:37.760 working to finalize the signing ahead of one am initial 1490 01:16:37.800 --> 01:16:40.920 loan purchase option in the winner tam signing for twenty 1491 01:16:40.960 --> 01:16:46.399 five while on loan, and so now you would have 1492 01:16:46.560 --> 01:16:51.399 Brenner coming back, Evander den K and them chasing after 1493 01:16:52.399 --> 01:16:58.159 championships in the Eastern Conference. And so with all of 1494 01:16:58.199 --> 01:17:01.720 the with all of the things that we're going on 1495 01:17:01.960 --> 01:17:06.600 with Brenner toward the end of his tenure, you're like 1496 01:17:06.760 --> 01:17:13.640 really coming back, huh apparently? So, like I said, I 1497 01:17:13.680 --> 01:17:16.239 have nothing officially official from the club. Let me let 1498 01:17:16.359 --> 01:17:18.039 me go back and check my email just to make 1499 01:17:18.079 --> 01:17:21.920 sure that nothing happened while we while we were yacking. 1500 01:17:22.000 --> 01:17:24.079 But we do have another couple of clubs who did 1501 01:17:24.119 --> 01:17:27.800 announce some things. As I try and track down my 1502 01:17:27.880 --> 01:17:31.640 notes from FC Cincinnati. Okay, so the only note, the 1503 01:17:31.720 --> 01:17:34.039 last note that I have from f C Cincinnati has 1504 01:17:34.079 --> 01:17:36.359 to do with the Orlando City game getting flex to 1505 01:17:36.399 --> 01:17:39.000 the twenty eighth September to Sunday Night soccer. That's the 1506 01:17:39.079 --> 01:17:41.039 last thing that I have from s C Cincinnati in 1507 01:17:41.079 --> 01:17:47.760 an official capacity. So yesterday LA Galaxy got a million 1508 01:17:47.800 --> 01:17:50.119 and a half dollars from Nashville in exchange for midfielder 1509 01:17:50.199 --> 01:17:55.319 Jonathan Perez cash for player trade straight up, an additional 1510 01:17:55.359 --> 01:17:58.720 three hundred thousand to LA if certain performance based incentives 1511 01:17:58.720 --> 01:18:01.359 are achieved by Perez, he get a sell on percentage 1512 01:18:01.399 --> 01:18:05.800 of Perez is sold to another club. Also that happened 1513 01:18:05.880 --> 01:18:09.600 late last night. Toronto FC adding Jose Sifuentes from Rangers. 1514 01:18:09.600 --> 01:18:14.199 This was rumored yesterday and now it's officially official as 1515 01:18:14.319 --> 01:18:19.760 of nine thirty this morning.

Penning receipt 1519 01:18:31.199 --> 01:18:34.399 of the ITC work permitting medicals.

Toronto FC's GM was it with 1524 01:18:47.239 --> 01:18:51.399 Rangers for the last two years and obviously spent time 1525 01:18:51.479 --> 01:18:54.520 in the league before three and a half seasons. LAFC 1526 01:18:54.560 --> 01:18:57.760 helped lead them to the Pie Plate and MLS Cup 1527 01:18:57.840 --> 01:19:00.960 and the CCL Finals in twenty twenty three.

Like I said, that happened early this morning, 1559 01:21:03.960 --> 01:21:06.880 it was released that it happened, but it was part 1560 01:21:06.920 --> 01:21:13.279 of everything breaking down before getting into the the end of. 1561 01:21:14.079 --> 01:21:15.560 The secondary transfer window. 1562 01:21:16.039 --> 01:21:19.000 So let's roll through what Tommy Scoops has to say 1563 01:21:19.000 --> 01:21:20.239 with all of the transactions. 1564 01:21:21.159 --> 01:21:23.159 No, that it's not what I want.

Okay, So mentioned Brenner. 1569 01:21:32.960 --> 01:21:35.560 Ivon Jime on loan from Porto to c F Montreal. 1570 01:21:35.600 --> 01:21:38.399 Loan until next summer, includes a purchase option.

RSL gets a 1579 01:22:08.119 --> 01:22:10.880 first round Super Draft pick since he gets Mark Schuk 1580 01:22:10.960 --> 01:22:15.279 and his international slot, so Cincinnati gets Marchuk. They signed 1581 01:22:15.279 --> 01:22:17.479 Miles to an extension and it looks like they're bringing 1582 01:22:17.520 --> 01:22:23.279 Brenner back. And so as of eleven hours ago, Bogert 1583 01:22:23.319 --> 01:22:27.279 has the deal being done. Nothing official in paperwork from 1584 01:22:27.359 --> 01:22:30.720 FC Cincinnati in the form of a press release. Loan 1585 01:22:30.760 --> 01:22:32.840 option to an Essa till the winner with a purchase option. 1586 01:22:32.880 --> 01:22:35.640 Brenner hits Cap as a tam less than three hours 1587 01:22:35.640 --> 01:22:36.359 ahead of the deadline. 1588 01:22:36.399 --> 01:22:37.000 Deal is sealed. 1589 01:22:37.000 --> 01:22:41.840 So like ten o'clock Eastern time last night. So Brenner 1590 01:22:42.359 --> 01:22:47.560 Martschuk and so your death chart is this. Den K Doto, Vealezuela, 1591 01:22:47.640 --> 01:22:51.319 aub Jubbari, Sergio Santos, Brenner, Kai Kamara, er Etchiniki and 1592 01:22:51.399 --> 01:22:56.199 U Yakuba are your forwards. Central attacking mid Evander Dotovalanzuela, 1593 01:22:56.279 --> 01:23:02.199 Luca Oriziano, central midfielders Buka i'm Ogidi, U Yakubo, defensive 1594 01:23:02.239 --> 01:23:06.880 mid Todd Bryan and Nounga Giedi, Stephen Hemenez and Obinna Wibodo. 1595 01:23:06.880 --> 01:23:09.560 Who's on the injured list? Your back line of five 1596 01:23:09.960 --> 01:23:14.119 left wing back or Jiano Lucas Ingle, Brad Smith, Gilbuctro, Flores, 1597 01:23:14.159 --> 01:23:17.319 Lucas Engle, Teenage Hedebi at left, center back, center back, 1598 01:23:17.359 --> 01:23:21.239 Miasga and Hagland right center back Miles Hagland, Alvis Powell, 1599 01:23:21.479 --> 01:23:24.359 right wing back, Marc chuk or Ajiano Kubo at Chinik, 1600 01:23:24.399 --> 01:23:28.079 Alvis Powell and in Net Celentano, Evan Laurel and Paul Walters. 1601 01:23:28.119 --> 01:23:33.000 That's your death chart for FC Cincinnati right now. So 1602 01:23:33.520 --> 01:23:37.439 we mentioned some Asiku, we mentioned mart Chuk mentioned Brenner. 1603 01:23:38.880 --> 01:23:44.359 Let's see, uh trying to go back here. 1604 01:23:44.359 --> 01:23:46.880 Minnesota United was trying to finalize a deal signing Greek 1605 01:23:46.880 --> 01:23:51.840 defender at Nectarios Triantis from Sunderland. Deals all set and 1606 01:23:52.119 --> 01:23:55.479 the personal agreement was laid out by Pete Rourke twenty 1607 01:23:55.479 --> 01:23:57.880 two spent last year on loan from Hibbs in Scotland 1608 01:23:58.520 --> 01:24:03.159 and Paxton Aronson had his press conference yesterday with the Masses. 1609 01:24:04.279 --> 01:24:07.159 City was done with the window. FC Cincinnati currently tied 1610 01:24:07.720 --> 01:24:11.600 as they roll through. Okay, last half hour the show 1611 01:24:12.239 --> 01:24:14.760 and it's time to bring in Casey D. And we 1612 01:24:14.800 --> 01:24:17.000 get to find out what is on her mind. We 1613 01:24:17.079 --> 01:24:20.079 get to get a little opposition research going with Toronto, 1614 01:24:20.560 --> 01:24:22.600 and we get to talk about the college game, anything 1615 01:24:22.600 --> 01:24:25.640 else on her mind before we go and lay everything 1616 01:24:25.680 --> 01:24:28.640 out with her. So Casey D looks like you are 1617 01:24:28.680 --> 01:24:29.600 at home again? 1618 01:24:29.840 --> 01:24:30.520 Is that true? 1619 01:24:31.119 --> 01:24:33.560 I am. It's a little surprising that I'm at home, 1620 01:24:33.600 --> 01:24:34.640 but I am. You're right. 1621 01:24:35.840 --> 01:24:38.039 So I'm the one in the hotel two hours away 1622 01:24:38.039 --> 01:24:39.199 from Atlanta right now. 1623 01:24:39.279 --> 01:24:43.479 So the script, well, you. 1624 01:24:43.439 --> 01:24:45.520 Know, it's the time of the year where everything kind 1625 01:24:45.520 --> 01:24:49.079 of blends together and the American high school football and 1626 01:24:49.119 --> 01:24:51.359 I'm out on a shoot in Millgeville, Georgia for that 1627 01:24:51.359 --> 01:24:53.279 that's later today. So I'm doing the show from a 1628 01:24:53.319 --> 01:24:57.920 hotel room and hope that everything happens, you know, the 1629 01:24:57.960 --> 01:25:01.760 signal stays the way that it's supposed to, and we 1630 01:25:01.840 --> 01:25:04.239 get to talk about things. I do want to talk 1631 01:25:04.359 --> 01:25:07.239 Last night, I did have the TV on kind of 1632 01:25:07.279 --> 01:25:10.720 in the background, and it was South Carolina and Ohio 1633 01:25:10.840 --> 01:25:12.680 State that was going on in the SEC. I do 1634 01:25:12.720 --> 01:25:14.239 want to get into that a little bit later on 1635 01:25:14.319 --> 01:25:16.960 everything else in the SEC and the acc lowdown, dirty 1636 01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:19.520 cheaters in Gainesville and your call with Jen Hildreth and 1637 01:25:19.520 --> 01:25:20.239 all that kind of stuff. 1638 01:25:20.239 --> 01:25:20.800 We'll get into that. 1639 01:25:21.600 --> 01:25:26.800 Okay, last MLS match you called was Columbus in Toronto 1640 01:25:26.800 --> 01:25:30.319 with Evan Weston last week. This is where the opposition 1641 01:25:30.439 --> 01:25:33.399 research comes into play with it. Landay United taking on 1642 01:25:33.520 --> 01:25:37.239 Toronto this weekend Sunday afternoon four to ten. 1643 01:25:37.399 --> 01:25:37.640 Kick. 1644 01:25:39.319 --> 01:25:42.520 What did you see in Toronto that folks need to 1645 01:25:42.600 --> 01:25:44.800 keep an eye on when it comes to the Reds 1646 01:25:44.880 --> 01:25:46.840 coming into this matchup this weekend? 1647 01:25:46.880 --> 01:25:47.680 What's stuck out to you? 1648 01:25:48.479 --> 01:25:51.039 Well, first off, if I don't say that Jessica is 1649 01:25:51.079 --> 01:25:53.039 on the call with me, she's gonna get upset because 1650 01:25:53.079 --> 01:25:55.520 she's an OG. So it was Jessica charm. You have 1651 01:25:55.560 --> 01:25:55.960 to say that. 1652 01:25:56.000 --> 01:25:59.399 I'm sorry, John, That's right. It was. It's like Evan was. 1653 01:25:59.439 --> 01:26:02.479 The week before though, Like these games are coming so fast, 1654 01:26:02.560 --> 01:26:05.560 but because of Jessica, because you know her, I've got. 1655 01:26:05.439 --> 01:26:08.720 To say that, yes, she'll she'll shoot me next time 1656 01:26:08.760 --> 01:26:09.920 I see her too. So yeah, it was. 1657 01:26:10.199 --> 01:26:13.640 It was the Wonder Twins calling that matchup. Yes, Oh 1658 01:26:13.680 --> 01:26:14.399 that's hilarious. 1659 01:26:15.199 --> 01:26:19.720 So what's really interesting about Toronto? They are a team 1660 01:26:20.199 --> 01:26:22.479 right now that you do not want to let stay 1661 01:26:22.479 --> 01:26:25.279 in games. The last two matchups that they have had 1662 01:26:25.800 --> 01:26:30.680 with Philadelphia Union with Columbus Crew, they've shown that they'll 1663 01:26:30.680 --> 01:26:33.399 give up early goals. So their start is certainly something 1664 01:26:33.399 --> 01:26:35.239 that Robin Fraser is going to be focused on. But 1665 01:26:35.279 --> 01:26:38.880 they're giving up early goals. The problem for the Philadelphia Union, 1666 01:26:38.960 --> 01:26:42.479 the problem for the Columbus Crew is they almost were 1667 01:26:42.920 --> 01:26:45.159 in this rhythm of it just looks like a goal 1668 01:26:45.279 --> 01:26:47.720 is going to come. They were able to get more possession, 1669 01:26:47.760 --> 01:26:50.640 they were able to move the ball around and get chances, 1670 01:26:51.239 --> 01:26:54.079 but it was not this urgent speed of play to 1671 01:26:54.159 --> 01:26:57.279 put Toronto away. When Toronto has shown that they can 1672 01:26:57.319 --> 01:26:59.560 stay in the games, they figure out something at the 1673 01:26:59.680 --> 01:27:02.760 end to get that equalizing goal. But it's even more 1674 01:27:02.800 --> 01:27:06.359 than that from a possession standpoint and an urgency standpoint. 1675 01:27:06.399 --> 01:27:09.880 They seem to adapt really well at halftime, so you 1676 01:27:09.880 --> 01:27:11.520 don't want to let them get to halftime close. 1677 01:27:12.439 --> 01:27:16.680 Georgia Mihailovich is now in the stacks and he has 1678 01:27:16.760 --> 01:27:20.000 been very quiet offensively the tail end of his time 1679 01:27:20.039 --> 01:27:24.680 in Colorado. Still pretty quiet right now with Toronto. What 1680 01:27:24.880 --> 01:27:27.560 does he bring to the table in a perfect world 1681 01:27:27.560 --> 01:27:30.760 that Toronto is looking forward to unlock with him now 1682 01:27:30.760 --> 01:27:31.720 there north of the border. 1683 01:27:32.680 --> 01:27:35.880 The perfect world is him scoring goals and getting assists 1684 01:27:35.920 --> 01:27:40.760 one hundred percent. But I believe that he draws so 1685 01:27:40.920 --> 01:27:44.840 much attention talking attention about him, whether it's scouting reports, 1686 01:27:44.880 --> 01:27:47.800 whether it's media, whatever it may be. And then attention 1687 01:27:48.000 --> 01:27:51.239 on the field. He plays in pockets of the field 1688 01:27:51.279 --> 01:27:54.560 that might just shift a defender one or two yards 1689 01:27:54.600 --> 01:27:56.640 to open a gap for someone else. So when there's 1690 01:27:57.079 --> 01:28:01.359 a high profile player that's brought into an environment, they 1691 01:28:01.399 --> 01:28:05.520 take attention off and I would say pressure off of 1692 01:28:05.600 --> 01:28:08.800 other players where they're able to step up. So do 1693 01:28:08.880 --> 01:28:11.840 I think that there's going to be more production from him, Yes, 1694 01:28:12.159 --> 01:28:14.520 But what he's doing already is taking that pressure and 1695 01:28:14.560 --> 01:28:17.920 attention off other players, and it's allowing other players to 1696 01:28:17.920 --> 01:28:20.319 step up. On top of just the fact that he 1697 01:28:20.359 --> 01:28:23.800 can play make and he can take that pieces corner 1698 01:28:23.920 --> 01:28:26.920 kicks his service for their goal. He was able to 1699 01:28:26.960 --> 01:28:27.680 have the service. 1700 01:28:27.720 --> 01:28:30.000 So he still is providing, all right. 1701 01:28:30.159 --> 01:28:33.439 So when you got to take a peek at them, 1702 01:28:33.479 --> 01:28:35.159 I know that we're we kind of look at shiny 1703 01:28:35.199 --> 01:28:38.880 objects and we look at starting elevens. If Toronto is 1704 01:28:38.920 --> 01:28:41.199 to be successful, I guess this is almost like match game, 1705 01:28:42.079 --> 01:28:46.319 give me somebody second level below the radar, not really 1706 01:28:46.479 --> 01:28:49.720 one of those names that you gravitate toward for Toronto 1707 01:28:49.720 --> 01:28:52.520 to be successful. Who are some of those foot soldiers 1708 01:28:52.560 --> 01:28:55.159 that have to be a part of the conversation for 1709 01:28:55.239 --> 01:28:55.920 Robin Fraser. 1710 01:28:56.560 --> 01:29:01.279 For me, Kuajo and midfield is probably the most unseen 1711 01:29:01.399 --> 01:29:04.680 hero we've talked about it. I love holding midfielders, I 1712 01:29:04.760 --> 01:29:10.279 love playmakers. And in the first half versus Columbus, he 1713 01:29:10.319 --> 01:29:13.800 would drop between the center backs and dictate play to 1714 01:29:13.880 --> 01:29:17.000 a degree. But in the second half it was almost 1715 01:29:17.039 --> 01:29:19.399 as if a coach went up to him and said, 1716 01:29:19.560 --> 01:29:21.720 I want you to do this every time. We're better 1717 01:29:21.720 --> 01:29:24.199 when you're on the ball. Because the second half he 1718 01:29:24.279 --> 01:29:26.720 got on the ball and Toronto was able to set 1719 01:29:26.760 --> 01:29:29.800 more play. And when Toronto's able to do that, they 1720 01:29:29.840 --> 01:29:33.760 build into the games. They build confidence and with any team, 1721 01:29:33.840 --> 01:29:36.880 when that confidence is going, everyone has pieces up top 1722 01:29:36.960 --> 01:29:40.159 that can generate chances, have chance creation. So that was 1723 01:29:40.199 --> 01:29:42.199 the big difference I saw from the first half of 1724 01:29:42.239 --> 01:29:45.960 the second half was his intentionality to be a playmaker, 1725 01:29:46.039 --> 01:29:48.840 to be involved in the build in almost every time 1726 01:29:49.119 --> 01:29:50.199 that Toronto had the ball. 1727 01:29:50.640 --> 01:29:55.319 Oppo research with Casey d and yes, Casey, we did 1728 01:29:55.319 --> 01:29:57.319 not know that you were a card holding member of 1729 01:29:57.359 --> 01:29:59.359 the Holding Midfielders Appreciation Society. 1730 01:29:59.359 --> 01:29:59.800 We do. 1731 01:30:01.119 --> 01:30:05.199 We do have the h the hmas here on at 1732 01:30:05.239 --> 01:30:05.920 soccer down here. 1733 01:30:05.960 --> 01:30:09.199 So you know why. I'm an attacking midfielder. So I 1734 01:30:09.279 --> 01:30:12.039 loved my holding midfielder to do certain things and it 1735 01:30:12.159 --> 01:30:13.520 just made my life so much. 1736 01:30:13.359 --> 01:30:17.640 Easier that they got your back, that they let you run. 1737 01:30:17.720 --> 01:30:19.760 They've got your back, that's what you're hunting for. So 1738 01:30:19.920 --> 01:30:23.840 it's good to see Kzy remember the Holding Midfielders Appreciation Society. 1739 01:30:24.399 --> 01:30:27.800 That is, that's a look at Toronto. Anything else that 1740 01:30:27.800 --> 01:30:30.119 that sticks out in your mind when it comes to 1741 01:30:30.159 --> 01:30:32.359 TFC that folks need to look at other than shiny 1742 01:30:32.399 --> 01:30:34.079 objects in Kuwajo in the midfield. 1743 01:30:35.680 --> 01:30:38.760 I don't know if there's anything super specific. I do 1744 01:30:38.880 --> 01:30:42.039 think they're gonna have to figure out Brent Hilton up top. 1745 01:30:42.079 --> 01:30:44.439 He was not much of a factor in that game. 1746 01:30:44.479 --> 01:30:46.039 So you've got Kerr coming off the bench. You now 1747 01:30:46.119 --> 01:30:49.439 have they'll sont so watch for Robin Frasier to figure 1748 01:30:49.439 --> 01:30:54.239 out who is that parent partner with Mihailovich operating underneath. 1749 01:30:54.479 --> 01:30:55.720 I think there's some decisions to. 1750 01:30:55.680 --> 01:30:59.800 Be made there, all right, college game. Uh, last time 1751 01:30:59.840 --> 01:31:01.960 you we're on with this. You and Gen got to 1752 01:31:02.000 --> 01:31:05.319 sit through a weather delay. Hey we're shocked North Florida 1753 01:31:05.439 --> 01:31:10.960 Panhandle rain. Oh my god, No, that never happened. It 1754 01:31:11.079 --> 01:31:14.359 was Florida State and the low down dirty cheaters from Gainesville. 1755 01:31:15.159 --> 01:31:18.600 When you look at those kinds of matchups, you want 1756 01:31:18.600 --> 01:31:20.520 them early in the year to kind of see where 1757 01:31:20.560 --> 01:31:23.359 you are. What were some of your takeaways early on 1758 01:31:23.479 --> 01:31:26.239 looking at Florida State and the low down dirty Cheaters. 1759 01:31:27.560 --> 01:31:30.760 Well, when there's a weather delay, I think it's always 1760 01:31:30.880 --> 01:31:33.359 fascinating to see how teams come out of a locker room. 1761 01:31:33.560 --> 01:31:36.199 And that really was the story of this game. Because 1762 01:31:36.560 --> 01:31:39.560 I'll give the Gators some credit. They came out pretty strong, 1763 01:31:40.560 --> 01:31:44.079 and Florida State is a worthy oponent. The opponent they are, 1764 01:31:44.359 --> 01:31:46.479 in so many ways the gold standard of women's soccer 1765 01:31:46.479 --> 01:31:49.079 in the last few years. And to come out and 1766 01:31:49.159 --> 01:31:52.079 keep it really tight till about the thirty fifth minute 1767 01:31:52.359 --> 01:31:56.199 was really impressive. Then the rain delay happens and we 1768 01:31:56.279 --> 01:31:58.720 think we're within a minute of it coming back out, 1769 01:31:59.119 --> 01:32:02.239 we go back in, then it happens again. So when 1770 01:32:02.279 --> 01:32:04.880 you're going through that, what is your leadership doing, how's 1771 01:32:04.880 --> 01:32:07.520 your coaching staff managing things. How are your peers and 1772 01:32:07.560 --> 01:32:12.680 teammates managing those moments is something that's really important. Florida State, 1773 01:32:12.920 --> 01:32:16.800 after that delay showed why they're Florida State. They came out, 1774 01:32:17.079 --> 01:32:18.920 they had made I knew that was going to make 1775 01:32:18.920 --> 01:32:23.399 you happy. They came out with an urgency that they 1776 01:32:23.399 --> 01:32:25.159 didn't have in the first half. Now, it was the 1777 01:32:25.199 --> 01:32:27.800 first game of the year, so there's always going to 1778 01:32:27.840 --> 01:32:30.439 be that little bit of nerves, that connectivity piece. But 1779 01:32:30.520 --> 01:32:34.239 they showed their quality. They showed the responsibility of coming 1780 01:32:34.239 --> 01:32:37.199 out after a weather delay, and they went after it. 1781 01:32:37.239 --> 01:32:40.960 The chance creation was insane that they had after they 1782 01:32:41.000 --> 01:32:41.600 came back out. 1783 01:32:42.760 --> 01:32:48.880 And it's interesting now that the schedule quirk has happened 1784 01:32:49.039 --> 01:32:51.680 where you've got to schedule even more games with the 1785 01:32:52.239 --> 01:32:56.159 calendar of having been expanded, and you're seeing a lot 1786 01:32:56.199 --> 01:33:00.680 of random matchups where D one go five group of 1787 01:33:00.720 --> 01:33:03.319 five clubs or sitting there going, oh crap, we need matchups, 1788 01:33:03.319 --> 01:33:06.199 and you're seeing like D three's showing up against D 1789 01:33:06.359 --> 01:33:07.399 one kind of thing. 1790 01:33:08.560 --> 01:33:11.760 What what do we gain? And this is a. 1791 01:33:11.680 --> 01:33:14.600 Philosophical question, So I answered, as you wish, and that 1792 01:33:14.640 --> 01:33:19.239 was that was not me sending you an email. What 1793 01:33:19.840 --> 01:33:22.800 I guess are there are there benefits to expanding the 1794 01:33:22.840 --> 01:33:26.680 schedule this additional week. Is is the benefit to the 1795 01:33:26.680 --> 01:33:30.479 the lower division club getting the opportunity to play a 1796 01:33:30.560 --> 01:33:33.359 D one with this expansion of the schedule? 1797 01:33:33.840 --> 01:33:34.760 I guess is it. 1798 01:33:34.800 --> 01:33:36.520 Are there more benefits to it or is it just 1799 01:33:36.680 --> 01:33:39.439 kind of the way things are with the system being 1800 01:33:39.479 --> 01:33:40.640 the way that it is these days. 1801 01:33:41.760 --> 01:33:43.800 I think that there could be a benefit in a 1802 01:33:43.960 --> 01:33:48.000 in a multitude of ways. Potentially, one is that you 1803 01:33:48.079 --> 01:33:50.560 just get a little bit more time to be able 1804 01:33:50.600 --> 01:33:54.560 to ease players into things. It starts early, but games 1805 01:33:54.600 --> 01:33:59.119 that maybe aren't as instrumental to what you're doing, so 1806 01:33:59.319 --> 01:34:01.920 it gives you time to see certain things. There were 1807 01:34:01.960 --> 01:34:04.119 some cancelations. I mean, we didn't end that we were 1808 01:34:04.119 --> 01:34:07.359 like four minutes away from getting canceled in Florida State. 1809 01:34:07.640 --> 01:34:09.840 We weren't. But if there are, we've seen some of 1810 01:34:09.840 --> 01:34:12.039 those across the country. Like, you can move on, you 1811 01:34:12.039 --> 01:34:14.960 can get another matchup, whatever it may be. I think 1812 01:34:15.039 --> 01:34:18.600 the one thing that's, you know, interesting, is that we 1813 01:34:18.640 --> 01:34:21.000 want to expand a lot of people want to expand 1814 01:34:21.159 --> 01:34:24.479 the college season because it's so much in so little 1815 01:34:24.520 --> 01:34:28.079 amount of time. So for me. I don't mind expanding 1816 01:34:28.079 --> 01:34:29.720 it to a degree, but when you add in an 1817 01:34:29.720 --> 01:34:33.680 extra game weekend, how you manage that is really if 1818 01:34:33.680 --> 01:34:35.199 it's going to be to your detriment or if it 1819 01:34:35.239 --> 01:34:36.479 can be a positive for your group. 1820 01:34:36.920 --> 01:34:39.800 Casey d hanging out with us here outside of her 1821 01:34:39.880 --> 01:34:42.479 normal Tuesday because she's like one of the busiest people 1822 01:34:42.520 --> 01:34:43.239 in show business. 1823 01:34:43.520 --> 01:34:44.640 So we we. 1824 01:34:44.560 --> 01:34:47.880 Try to hang on, try to try to hang on 1825 01:34:47.920 --> 01:34:51.039 to that comments tale as hard as we humanly possibly can, 1826 01:34:51.640 --> 01:34:54.680 trying to pin you down every week. Traditionally, for those 1827 01:34:54.720 --> 01:34:56.720 that may not know, Casey dbats lead off with us 1828 01:34:56.720 --> 01:34:59.399 on Tuesdays and we go over the weekend and everything there, 1829 01:35:00.560 --> 01:35:03.479 SEC ACC, what has stuck out in your mind? Like 1830 01:35:03.520 --> 01:35:05.479 I said last night, I had in the background South 1831 01:35:05.520 --> 01:35:08.800 Carolina taking on Ohio State. Ohio State came in and 1832 01:35:08.840 --> 01:35:12.479 they're starting eleven. Wasn't They're full blown starting eleven and 1833 01:35:13.039 --> 01:35:15.079 it eventually ended up wearing them down early in the 1834 01:35:15.119 --> 01:35:18.359 second half. When you look at those two Power five Conferences, 1835 01:35:18.359 --> 01:35:20.399 what has stuck in your mind from the last last 1836 01:35:20.399 --> 01:35:21.960 week or so. 1837 01:35:22.039 --> 01:35:25.760 The expectation of the ACC has always been to win 1838 01:35:25.800 --> 01:35:28.680 the majority of games. SEC is now there as well, 1839 01:35:28.960 --> 01:35:33.399 and both of them are coming out very strong. Last night, 1840 01:35:33.680 --> 01:35:39.039 nine out of ten SEC teams won and Texas tied, 1841 01:35:39.319 --> 01:35:42.880 so the one non win was still a tie. And 1842 01:35:42.920 --> 01:35:46.439 then you look at the ACC very similar to the 1843 01:35:46.600 --> 01:35:49.039 two out of the nine lost, including my tar Hills. 1844 01:35:49.079 --> 01:35:52.439 I have to say that, but the reality is both 1845 01:35:52.520 --> 01:35:55.680 conferences are showing that they have the ability to compete 1846 01:35:55.680 --> 01:35:58.439 at the highest level. That's no surprise to anyone. But 1847 01:35:58.680 --> 01:36:01.239 what I like about this year is that, in my opinion, 1848 01:36:01.279 --> 01:36:03.000 and I don't know if this is like true fact 1849 01:36:03.119 --> 01:36:06.079 or not, but there seems to be more ACC SEC 1850 01:36:06.239 --> 01:36:08.960 matchups or maybe there's just more of a focus on 1851 01:36:09.000 --> 01:36:12.600 it because of the SEC's level and how much better 1852 01:36:12.640 --> 01:36:15.119 they have gotten in the last few years. But those 1853 01:36:15.279 --> 01:36:19.479 matchups are making it really hard in non conference for both. 1854 01:36:20.520 --> 01:36:24.279 And you've got one Sunday night Wake in Mississippi State. 1855 01:36:24.319 --> 01:36:28.800 Mississippi State loses their head coach to Auburn, and so 1856 01:36:29.399 --> 01:36:31.439 you try and figure out, Okay, where does the Stark 1857 01:36:31.520 --> 01:36:34.079 Vegas machine go from here? Does it continue to just 1858 01:36:34.119 --> 01:36:38.880 go on the treadmill and everything's fine, or is there shakeups? 1859 01:36:38.880 --> 01:36:41.239 And is it different against Wake Forest. We had Michael 1860 01:36:41.279 --> 01:36:44.399 Parkhurston earlier in the show, and so we know all 1861 01:36:44.439 --> 01:36:47.560 about Wake's pedigree Wake in Mississippi State, what are you 1862 01:36:47.600 --> 01:36:50.039 taking going into this? One Sunday night at seven. 1863 01:36:49.960 --> 01:36:54.520 Thirty, you mentioned James Armstrong going to Auburn. Nick has 1864 01:36:54.560 --> 01:36:58.600 been around for six years. With James Armstrong, he is 1865 01:36:58.720 --> 01:37:01.520 known around the country. Everyone knows he's an emotional leader, 1866 01:37:01.600 --> 01:37:04.960 he's a motivator, and he's definitely not going to lose that. 1867 01:37:05.079 --> 01:37:07.039 But he had the tactical ability to be at the 1868 01:37:07.119 --> 01:37:10.199 highest level as well. So I expect them to hit 1869 01:37:10.239 --> 01:37:12.560 the ground running. They got their first win under him 1870 01:37:13.000 --> 01:37:16.479 last night, or first official win, I should say, so. 1871 01:37:16.760 --> 01:37:18.960 I think that Missippi State is going to continue to 1872 01:37:19.000 --> 01:37:22.920 be this hard working, gritty team with a couple very 1873 01:37:23.600 --> 01:37:27.720 sophisticated players that step up on the other side. I mean, 1874 01:37:28.119 --> 01:37:30.439 Tony deLuce recruited me and I was talking to him 1875 01:37:30.479 --> 01:37:32.920 this morning on a coach call and I said, I'm 1876 01:37:32.920 --> 01:37:34.800 not trying to make you sound old, but like you've 1877 01:37:34.840 --> 01:37:39.840 been around a while, and he started laughing. And I 1878 01:37:39.880 --> 01:37:42.960 was asking him about his group because we know they 1879 01:37:43.000 --> 01:37:47.279 are a fluid, possession oriented program. They play a beautiful game. 1880 01:37:47.840 --> 01:37:50.239 But what I liked about what I saw last night 1881 01:37:51.039 --> 01:37:54.439 was their goals were incisive. They were possession oriented, but 1882 01:37:54.479 --> 01:37:57.439 they cut right through back lines a lot of runs 1883 01:37:57.479 --> 01:37:59.600 forward in the box. But they're a young team. They're 1884 01:37:59.640 --> 01:38:04.199 depending on a lot of freshmen, very few transfers to replace. 1885 01:38:03.840 --> 01:38:08.319 What they lost last year and by that comparison rolling 1886 01:38:08.359 --> 01:38:12.479 it back to Mississippi State Auburn, they have decided to 1887 01:38:12.560 --> 01:38:16.359 go to the transfer portal. They've gone international with a 1888 01:38:16.359 --> 01:38:19.239 lot of their players to try and turn things over quickly. 1889 01:38:20.439 --> 01:38:25.479 Do you anticipate more teams going quick fix and doing 1890 01:38:25.520 --> 01:38:27.520 it that way? Like if a coach goes into a 1891 01:38:27.560 --> 01:38:33.279 situation that's new, do you anticipate the internationals coming over 1892 01:38:33.439 --> 01:38:36.439 that much faster, that much more in bulk? Is it 1893 01:38:36.520 --> 01:38:39.680 going to be transfers and grads? How are you looking 1894 01:38:39.720 --> 01:38:43.560 at the landscape now, especially with nil if that impacts 1895 01:38:43.560 --> 01:38:45.479 it that much, How are you looking at the landscape 1896 01:38:45.560 --> 01:38:48.680 changing now with coaches going into a new situation. 1897 01:38:49.840 --> 01:38:53.640 I don't necessarily think much will change about the international landscape. 1898 01:38:53.720 --> 01:38:56.560 Those that have international pipelines that are looking to recruit 1899 01:38:56.600 --> 01:39:00.399 internationally always have and continue to do so. But I 1900 01:39:00.439 --> 01:39:03.039 do think more and more coaches are going for the 1901 01:39:03.039 --> 01:39:05.880 transfer portal for some of those I guess, like you said, 1902 01:39:05.920 --> 01:39:10.600 quote unquote quicker fixes or immediate impact type of players. 1903 01:39:11.119 --> 01:39:14.359 But I believe the best programs have a mix of 1904 01:39:14.399 --> 01:39:18.000 both in their vision that long term of getting the 1905 01:39:18.000 --> 01:39:21.279 top players coming out of high school, which is vitally 1906 01:39:21.319 --> 01:39:23.600 important for the health of your program, for the health 1907 01:39:23.600 --> 01:39:27.239 and the country of the sport, continue to develop players. 1908 01:39:27.640 --> 01:39:30.680 So if you mix that with getting I believe one 1909 01:39:30.760 --> 01:39:35.199 or two impact players, whether it's internationally or transfer, it's 1910 01:39:35.239 --> 01:39:36.760 a really good mix for success. 1911 01:39:37.279 --> 01:39:39.000 You realize, of course, I've held out one of the 1912 01:39:39.000 --> 01:39:42.279 games that you're calling this weekend on purpose, you have. 1913 01:39:42.479 --> 01:39:45.279 I noticed that, and if I know where you're going, 1914 01:39:45.359 --> 01:39:47.319 I didn't actually bring it to They have a Christmas 1915 01:39:47.359 --> 01:39:51.840 mud today. I know it's dirty. It's dirty. 1916 01:39:53.079 --> 01:39:54.680 How do you not have more? How do you not 1917 01:39:54.760 --> 01:39:56.960 have more than one you and C Mug in the 1918 01:39:57.000 --> 01:39:58.520 house because. 1919 01:39:58.159 --> 01:40:00.720 That one is like vintage and I don't even want 1920 01:40:00.720 --> 01:40:02.800 to like add to it. It's like so old, and 1921 01:40:02.840 --> 01:40:05.199 I just keep it as my Mike you and S Mug. 1922 01:40:05.640 --> 01:40:09.640 Okay, all right, So then secondary we question how many 1923 01:40:09.680 --> 01:40:13.680 of your old jerseys do you have and are they 1924 01:40:13.760 --> 01:40:15.520 framed or are they just on hangers? 1925 01:40:15.520 --> 01:40:18.720 How much of the of your career you have on hangers. 1926 01:40:18.960 --> 01:40:25.079 I have one framed Carolina jersey, but I've moved recently, 1927 01:40:25.119 --> 01:40:27.279 so it's literally like on the ground behind me in 1928 01:40:27.359 --> 01:40:29.399 like bubble wrap because i haven't had a chance to 1929 01:40:29.439 --> 01:40:34.039 do anything with it. So being really honest, but I 1930 01:40:34.039 --> 01:40:36.840 have one of each of my Carolina colors, Carolina blue 1931 01:40:36.840 --> 01:40:41.439 and white, and then with the US, I probably I 1932 01:40:41.439 --> 01:40:43.560 have one from every cap, but I've given a few away. 1933 01:40:44.720 --> 01:40:47.119 I've given to my parents. They're probably on hangers, and 1934 01:40:47.199 --> 01:40:49.760 I've got one framed. So a little bit of a 1935 01:40:49.760 --> 01:40:51.800 little bit of everything. It's a mixed bag to answer 1936 01:40:51.800 --> 01:40:52.359 that question. 1937 01:40:52.720 --> 01:40:56.359 Okay, all right, so you're how do you end up 1938 01:40:56.399 --> 01:40:57.359 with it? Now? 1939 01:40:57.520 --> 01:41:00.760 You and c and Rice Sunday at ten please tell 1940 01:41:00.800 --> 01:41:03.000 me that ken p Eastern and not ten a. 1941 01:41:03.760 --> 01:41:08.960 It's ten a because I think't goas Yes, so that 1942 01:41:09.119 --> 01:41:12.760 is a ten am game and doing that for an 1943 01:41:12.760 --> 01:41:15.920 institutional broadcast, you know, just being in alum being in 1944 01:41:15.960 --> 01:41:19.600 the area and yeah, so I'm doing that there. It's 1945 01:41:19.640 --> 01:41:24.119 for acc X on digital and then I'll do SEC Network. 1946 01:41:23.800 --> 01:41:28.760 That night ten am. Man, that's ten am. 1947 01:41:28.960 --> 01:41:33.079 How do you how on a game day do you 1948 01:41:33.239 --> 01:41:35.199 prepare for that? I mean you've got to be in 1949 01:41:35.239 --> 01:41:39.199 the building probably what eight eight thirty for the broadcast. 1950 01:41:39.359 --> 01:41:41.479 I mean, work backward with me here. How do you 1951 01:41:41.520 --> 01:41:42.920 prepare for an am kick? 1952 01:41:43.720 --> 01:41:46.239 Well, a lot of coffee in the morning, so that's 1953 01:41:46.239 --> 01:41:50.479 the first step. But we arrive at least two hours 1954 01:41:50.479 --> 01:41:54.279 before kick, so I will be at the stadium by 1955 01:41:54.319 --> 01:41:58.159 eight am, ready to go, getting sorted all of that. 1956 01:41:58.399 --> 01:42:02.399 So yeah, so literally I'll be waking up, coffee, eat, go. 1957 01:42:02.600 --> 01:42:04.680 I mean, there's not a whole lot, but and there's 1958 01:42:04.760 --> 01:42:07.840 on cams for this. It's not like you're sitting in 1959 01:42:07.439 --> 01:42:10.119 a booth with no on cams or anything like that. 1960 01:42:10.239 --> 01:42:12.279 So I've got that early and then a little bit 1961 01:42:12.319 --> 01:42:15.119 of a break reset, and then have the SEC at 1962 01:42:15.159 --> 01:42:16.039 seven thirty that night. 1963 01:42:16.560 --> 01:42:19.159 Crazy all right? So you and c and Rice? What 1964 01:42:19.239 --> 01:42:21.399 study hall been like getting ready for that one? 1965 01:42:22.159 --> 01:42:25.560 Well, Carolina losing two out of the first three. I 1966 01:42:25.640 --> 01:42:30.640 haven't actually sat and looked at if that's happened anytime recently. 1967 01:42:30.800 --> 01:42:35.000 That that's definitely different for the program. So there's obviously 1968 01:42:35.039 --> 01:42:37.119 still sorting some things out. But I think what needs 1969 01:42:37.159 --> 01:42:40.479 to be said is the opposition they're facing in Georgia 1970 01:42:40.520 --> 01:42:45.520 and Tennessee they are very good programs. And while North 1971 01:42:45.560 --> 01:42:49.159 Carolina is a story program and has the legacy piece 1972 01:42:49.479 --> 01:42:52.680 and one last year, every years a new start and 1973 01:42:52.760 --> 01:42:55.159 they have new players in they've lost a lot to 1974 01:42:55.199 --> 01:42:58.039 the Pro League. So I don't want to take anything 1975 01:42:58.039 --> 01:43:01.840 away from Georgia or Tennessee and as wins because they 1976 01:43:01.920 --> 01:43:04.680 are of the level to be competing in the NCAA 1977 01:43:04.760 --> 01:43:07.560 tournaments going far in the tournament, and they've showed up 1978 01:43:07.560 --> 01:43:10.640 early in this season. So I think Carolina obviously has 1979 01:43:10.680 --> 01:43:13.640 some things to figure out because the expectation is very 1980 01:43:13.720 --> 01:43:17.239 high and having you know, a win last week was 1981 01:43:17.279 --> 01:43:19.720 good for them. But Rice is going to come in 1982 01:43:20.319 --> 01:43:23.239 obviously hard to play in Chapel Hill, but I expect 1983 01:43:23.239 --> 01:43:25.640 Carolina to be able to handle things this weekend. But 1984 01:43:25.760 --> 01:43:29.119 you just never know how they're dealing with those early losses. 1985 01:43:30.119 --> 01:43:35.079 And Tennessee combines that win with a win against UCLA 1986 01:43:35.199 --> 01:43:37.800 out on the coast and they're hanging out before they 1987 01:43:37.800 --> 01:43:40.079 go play Loyal and Merrimount before they come back with 1988 01:43:40.119 --> 01:43:42.520 the checkerboard and they come back to Knoxville. So it's 1989 01:43:42.560 --> 01:43:48.159 an early good start for Tennessee. As we as you 1990 01:43:48.199 --> 01:43:50.800 are the you are the the last guest of the week. 1991 01:43:51.199 --> 01:43:52.880 I will I will lay this out here on the 1992 01:43:52.920 --> 01:43:56.840 table for you, right. Is there anything from the week 1993 01:43:56.920 --> 01:44:01.680 itself that has stuck in your brain that has driven 1994 01:44:01.760 --> 01:44:07.039 you crazy or that has deserved the plot it's hauzahs 1995 01:44:07.079 --> 01:44:09.960 and hurrahs that it should. Is there anything that is 1996 01:44:09.960 --> 01:44:11.880 stuck in your brain from this week that you want 1997 01:44:11.920 --> 01:44:14.159 to sit there and tip your cap to or do 1998 01:44:14.199 --> 01:44:16.720 you want to sit there and go this really frustrates 1999 01:44:16.800 --> 01:44:19.199 me and blanks me off and all this kind of stuff. 2000 01:44:19.239 --> 01:44:20.920 Is there? Is there anything from the. 2001 01:44:20.800 --> 01:44:26.600 Week that has stuck with you, that that is on 2002 01:44:26.720 --> 01:44:28.920 your mind, that has stuck on your mind this week? 2003 01:44:28.960 --> 01:44:29.920 Is there anything could. 2004 01:44:29.720 --> 01:44:33.319 Be about this? You should because I could probably have 2005 01:44:33.359 --> 01:44:35.640 a list of things, but off the top of my head, one, 2006 01:44:36.359 --> 01:44:39.399 I have not been traveling this week and I thought 2007 01:44:39.439 --> 01:44:41.319 it would be good for me, and I'm so antsy, 2008 01:44:41.399 --> 01:44:43.079 so I have to say that first. I'm like, I'm 2009 01:44:43.119 --> 01:44:45.319 not used to being at home, so that's been kind 2010 01:44:45.359 --> 01:44:49.840 of strange. But I'll say this, I think I want 2011 01:44:49.840 --> 01:44:52.600 to make a comment about what you mentioned about Tennessee 2012 01:44:53.479 --> 01:44:55.520 in the college game, and you're going to nod your 2013 01:44:55.520 --> 01:44:58.640 head with this. Those types of losses that Carolina had, 2014 01:44:58.680 --> 01:45:02.760 whether it's to Tennessee to whatever it may be. Over time, 2015 01:45:02.960 --> 01:45:04.760 you see how good of a loss or bad of 2016 01:45:04.800 --> 01:45:08.439 a loss it is. And Tennessee beating UCLA, it's starting 2017 01:45:08.479 --> 01:45:11.680 to look like, well, that might actually be an okay 2018 01:45:11.720 --> 01:45:14.159 loss if Tennessee is proving that they're going to compete 2019 01:45:14.439 --> 01:45:16.920 at that high of a level throughout the entire season. 2020 01:45:17.000 --> 01:45:19.479 So I think that'll be interesting to and for Tennessee 2021 01:45:19.560 --> 01:45:22.119 to follow up with that was really nice to see. 2022 01:45:22.159 --> 01:45:24.520 I'm a big fan of Joe Kurt and him going 2023 01:45:24.560 --> 01:45:27.239 into that head coaching role, so I'm excited to see 2024 01:45:27.239 --> 01:45:29.399 that just from a personal level, a human level of 2025 01:45:29.439 --> 01:45:34.800 them doing well. Well. We haven't mentioned in WSL, so 2026 01:45:35.319 --> 01:45:40.279 i'll mention NWSL the win for angel City last night 2027 01:45:40.359 --> 01:45:43.960 over the Orlando Pride. They had a huge sighting the 2028 01:45:44.039 --> 01:45:46.840 Orlando Pride. Ovia is going to be coming. They made 2029 01:45:46.840 --> 01:45:51.239 a big splash this week. The Orlando Pride lose to 2030 01:45:51.399 --> 01:45:53.880 Angel City on the road. Angel City has not been 2031 01:45:53.920 --> 01:45:56.239 in the greatest form, to put it, put it nicely, 2032 01:45:56.920 --> 01:45:59.680 and they had a late start with having their coach 2033 01:45:59.720 --> 01:46:02.399 come in kind of changing the way they want to 2034 01:46:02.399 --> 01:46:06.079 play identity and he has so much success and long term, 2035 01:46:06.520 --> 01:46:08.880 I think we're going to see that, but short term 2036 01:46:08.920 --> 01:46:13.439 it's been really tough for Angel City. Angel City winning one, 2037 01:46:13.479 --> 01:46:16.119 it says something about the Orlando Pride of Okay, maybe 2038 01:46:16.199 --> 01:46:18.359 they aren't quite at the top. It allows San Diego 2039 01:46:18.399 --> 01:46:21.520 Wave to potentially get further ahead, the Spirit to jump them. 2040 01:46:21.880 --> 01:46:25.840 But for Angel City, I think that was a marquee 2041 01:46:26.039 --> 01:46:28.399 win to be able to say we want to still 2042 01:46:28.439 --> 01:46:31.039 be a part of the conversation for playoffs because they've 2043 01:46:31.079 --> 01:46:33.960 had such a tough stretch. So I liked seeing that. 2044 01:46:34.159 --> 01:46:36.520 It makes it more interesting or on the playoff line 2045 01:46:36.560 --> 01:46:40.880 for the NWSL. So that's one piece and then two 2046 01:46:41.000 --> 01:46:43.720 teams that I think these are like almost must win 2047 01:46:43.800 --> 01:46:46.960 weekends in my opinion is Gotham and then North Carolina Courage. 2048 01:46:47.239 --> 01:46:50.079 Not because they'll be mathematically out or anything like that, 2049 01:46:50.840 --> 01:46:54.600 but they're in a spot where one win can really 2050 01:46:54.640 --> 01:46:59.000 propel you or one loss now starts to compound things 2051 01:46:59.119 --> 01:47:01.359 because they haven't been in the greatest form and found 2052 01:47:01.399 --> 01:47:05.159 those results. So thinking to Belsala is really interesting this weekend. 2053 01:47:05.479 --> 01:47:08.319 Case d hanging out with us on a Friday, and 2054 01:47:08.399 --> 01:47:11.800 normally she batslead off on Tuesdays because she has been 2055 01:47:11.880 --> 01:47:14.479 flying around the planet and this is why we're catching 2056 01:47:14.560 --> 01:47:16.560 up with her as the last guest of the week. 2057 01:47:16.800 --> 01:47:21.640 Sunday morning, ten am, North Carolina and Rice, you look 2058 01:47:22.560 --> 01:47:24.359 all the caffeine in the world. I give you full 2059 01:47:24.399 --> 01:47:26.439 credits and lining up at ten am on a Sunday 2060 01:47:26.439 --> 01:47:28.479 morning calling a match especially. 2061 01:47:28.920 --> 01:47:29.359 For the all. 2062 01:47:30.319 --> 01:47:33.119 Oh sorry about that. I will say, this is my 2063 01:47:33.239 --> 01:47:36.560 first time to ever call a match at Dorrance Field, 2064 01:47:36.680 --> 01:47:39.199 not Fetzerfield. I thought to say Fetzerfield because I'm old. 2065 01:47:40.399 --> 01:47:44.560 I always wanted to coach against North Carolina when Anson 2066 01:47:44.680 --> 01:47:48.600 was still around, and it's a little personal antidote I 2067 01:47:48.680 --> 01:47:50.359 was supposed to when I was the head coach at 2068 01:47:50.399 --> 01:47:53.680 Xavier University. I scheduled Carolina as my first game as 2069 01:47:53.720 --> 01:47:57.760 head coach of the college team there, and I ended 2070 01:47:57.840 --> 01:48:00.520 up taking a national team coaching job with the YOU teams, 2071 01:48:00.520 --> 01:48:02.800 and so I never got to do that, and I 2072 01:48:02.840 --> 01:48:05.800 never got to coach at the facility that I played at, 2073 01:48:06.279 --> 01:48:08.600 and so this is actually my first ever game to 2074 01:48:08.640 --> 01:48:12.039 be on site in my old stadium, and so from 2075 01:48:12.079 --> 01:48:16.119 a personal standpoint, I just feel very honored and very grateful, 2076 01:48:16.239 --> 01:48:18.920 and I'd be remiss not to bring that up because 2077 01:48:19.000 --> 01:48:21.079 It is something that's really special to me because it 2078 01:48:21.119 --> 01:48:23.560 was a great four years for me and really helped. 2079 01:48:23.439 --> 01:48:27.079 Launch my career, no doubt about it. Ten am U 2080 01:48:27.119 --> 01:48:30.479 NC and Rice. That's on the ACC digitals. So for 2081 01:48:30.520 --> 01:48:33.800 those of you that have the the ACC and net 2082 01:48:33.840 --> 01:48:36.800 ACC network plus, I was about to see ACC D 2083 01:48:37.079 --> 01:48:43.520 n ACCX or whatever whatever, yeah, whatever, whatever the alphabet 2084 01:48:43.520 --> 01:48:45.920 soup is for the digital platform for the ACC network. 2085 01:48:45.960 --> 01:48:47.720 Case is going to be on UNC and Rice and 2086 01:48:47.720 --> 01:48:49.119 then she's going to turn around and do wake in 2087 01:48:49.159 --> 01:48:53.000 Mississippi State Sunday night at seven thirty, and then she's 2088 01:48:53.039 --> 01:48:54.520 going to be back with us batting lead off on 2089 01:48:54.560 --> 01:48:57.760 Tuesday to talk about NWSL and college and all the 2090 01:48:57.800 --> 01:49:00.279 other things that stick in her brain and get to 2091 01:49:00.319 --> 01:49:03.560 add her to the Holding Midfielders Appreciation Society as well. 2092 01:49:03.600 --> 01:49:05.600 That is something that we did not know but we 2093 01:49:05.760 --> 01:49:09.479 now know.

She 2115 01:50:00.560 --> 01:50:03.680 was paired with Evan before doing Minnesota. That's where I 2116 01:50:03.720 --> 01:50:06.520 was getting it all messed up. So she was paired 2117 01:50:06.560 --> 01:50:09.960 with Evan doing Minnesota and Colorado then, And that's the thing. 2118 01:50:09.960 --> 01:50:12.079 It's like, so two times in a row, Casey has 2119 01:50:12.560 --> 01:50:15.840 called an MLS match involving an opponent that is going 2120 01:50:15.880 --> 01:50:17.000 into play at Landy United. 2121 01:50:17.199 --> 01:50:19.640 That's where it was stuck in my brain. So John's 2122 01:50:19.640 --> 01:50:20.680 an idiot? What else is new? 2123 01:50:22.159 --> 01:50:25.680 Did not have not seen the quotes coming out of 2124 01:50:25.720 --> 01:50:28.560 the Chris Henderson press conference, Ricky, I have not seen those, 2125 01:50:28.680 --> 01:50:31.640 so we've been kind of locked in. We talked to 2126 01:50:32.880 --> 01:50:35.600 Ross Smith and talked to a couple of other folks. 2127 01:50:36.199 --> 01:50:39.560 Anything of note. Hang on, let me go and see 2128 01:50:39.640 --> 01:50:46.079 if there was anything from the press conference that is 2129 01:50:46.119 --> 01:50:50.800 in line with anything and everything here. 2130 01:50:50.920 --> 01:50:52.119 So let's see. 2131 01:50:52.319 --> 01:50:54.960 Have not seen anything come out of the Chris Henderson 2132 01:50:55.039 --> 01:51:03.439 presser and. 2133 01:51:00.039 --> 01:51:01.079 I could spell Henderson. 2134 01:51:01.119 --> 01:51:03.479 I could probably sit there and see what's going on 2135 01:51:03.560 --> 01:51:08.239 with the with all of the notes, no current plan 2136 01:51:08.399 --> 01:51:12.520 to change the existing DPS using the same group next year. 2137 01:51:12.640 --> 01:51:15.159 Club is communicated to Brad Gazanne that they're looking for 2138 01:51:15.199 --> 01:51:18.880 a number one going forward and the U twenty two 2139 01:51:18.960 --> 01:51:23.039 slots will be utilized to some extent because they don't 2140 01:51:23.039 --> 01:51:26.119 have any U twenty two's right now. Brad knows we're 2141 01:51:26.159 --> 01:51:30.039 looking for a number one goalkeeper next year, so that 2142 01:51:30.239 --> 01:51:32.000 is from today's press conference. 2143 01:51:32.039 --> 01:51:32.600 So that is. 2144 01:51:34.439 --> 01:51:38.560 You know what you're what you're looking at with with 2145 01:51:39.319 --> 01:51:41.840 probably that's probably one of the bigger quotes from from 2146 01:51:41.920 --> 01:51:44.439 Hindi from this morning. Brad knows we're looking for a 2147 01:51:44.520 --> 01:51:51.119 number one goalkeeper next year, So that's you said Matt 2148 01:51:51.239 --> 01:51:55.319 Edward's training individually, Brooks Lennon training with the team, and 2149 01:51:56.119 --> 01:51:58.520 those look like the early notes. But the early notes 2150 01:51:58.560 --> 01:52:01.239 basically Brad knows we're looking for a number one goalkeeper 2151 01:52:01.279 --> 01:52:06.680 next year. No current plan to change the existing dps 2152 01:52:06.800 --> 01:52:08.920 using the same group next year. Club is communicated to 2153 01:52:08.920 --> 01:52:10.560 Brad they're looking for a number one U twenty two 2154 01:52:10.600 --> 01:52:13.640 slots utilized to some extent. So once again utilized to 2155 01:52:13.680 --> 01:52:16.159 some extent. Like I said, there are no U twenty 2156 01:52:16.199 --> 01:52:19.880 twos currently on the roster. The last one was Edwin Musquitta, 2157 01:52:20.079 --> 01:52:25.760 and Edwin would be a Edwin would be a situation. 2158 01:52:26.640 --> 01:52:28.840 Once again, his contract is over. There is an option year, 2159 01:52:29.960 --> 01:52:31.920 but right now with his situation at ME and AIOS 2160 01:52:31.960 --> 01:52:37.359 do not anticipate Edwin Musqutta coming back. So that's that's 2161 01:52:37.399 --> 01:52:40.560 where I think those are the probably the couple of 2162 01:52:40.760 --> 01:52:42.800 bullet points that you would be looking at from the 2163 01:52:43.000 --> 01:52:46.560 Chris Henderson presser going forward. So we'll see what happens 2164 01:52:46.640 --> 01:52:50.720 there Atlanta and Toronto. Once again, you've got that coming 2165 01:52:50.760 --> 01:52:54.119 up this weekend. It's on four o'clock, four ten kick 2166 01:52:54.800 --> 01:52:58.680 and that is on Sunday. Looking forward to seeing everybody there. 2167 01:52:58.720 --> 01:53:04.560 Remember Saturday night it is. It is at Lanty United 2168 01:53:04.600 --> 01:53:08.039 two and OCB. That is I think it's a six 2169 01:53:08.159 --> 01:53:10.960 thirty pre game. So half hour before kick we got pregame. 2170 01:53:11.279 --> 01:53:14.520 You'll hear from Jose Silva, you'll hear from Ryan Carmichael, 2171 01:53:15.119 --> 01:53:18.079 and we'll get you ready for the weekend and we'll 2172 01:53:18.159 --> 01:53:21.000 let you know what's happened all week long in MLS 2173 01:53:21.000 --> 01:53:24.840 Next Pro and we'll get you ready there. So at 2174 01:53:24.920 --> 01:53:27.880 Lanta United to OCB on the network. That's Saturday night, 2175 01:53:28.079 --> 01:53:31.600 Sunday afternoon. It is Atlanta United at Lanty United in 2176 01:53:31.600 --> 01:53:35.199 Toronto FC. It is five stripes countdown, three o'clock, four 2177 01:53:35.239 --> 01:53:39.439 to ten kick and also it is the unified match 2178 01:53:39.520 --> 01:53:42.640 after So when you go to the match this weekend, 2179 01:53:43.199 --> 01:53:45.520 stay come around to the one hundreds cheer on the 2180 01:53:45.600 --> 01:53:47.399 Unified because this is the back end of the home 2181 01:53:47.439 --> 01:53:50.439 and home for the matchup against Toronto. Remember when it 2182 01:53:50.479 --> 01:53:52.960 was in Toronto, the early morning kick in Toronto against 2183 01:53:52.960 --> 01:53:56.960 Toronto FC, it was a five to three shootout. And 2184 01:53:57.039 --> 01:53:59.359 remember it's only going to go eighteen to eighteen, so 2185 01:53:59.359 --> 01:54:02.680 it's going to be thirty six yards shorter of a field. 2186 01:54:03.600 --> 01:54:05.640 That was the first match that Toronto had played. I 2187 01:54:05.640 --> 01:54:08.600 think in six years as a club, so you've got 2188 01:54:08.600 --> 01:54:10.479 that to kind of look at. 2189 01:54:10.960 --> 01:54:12.520 Going going for the weekend. 2190 01:54:12.640 --> 01:54:17.279 So Atlanta United Unified, if you're there, stay watch h 2191 01:54:17.399 --> 01:54:22.800 o utd dot com, slash Live Atlanta United and Toronto FC. 2192 01:54:24.000 --> 01:54:27.960 That's Sunday OCB Atlanta United to on the network on 2193 01:54:27.960 --> 01:54:29.960 our mix OERD channel, Soccer down here dot mixlore dot 2194 01:54:30.039 --> 01:54:31.600 com and on. 2195 01:54:33.520 --> 01:54:36.159 Soccer down here dot net.

West Ham's 2202 01:54:53.119 --> 01:54:56.199 a plus four hundred Grandpotters already gotten the voted confidence. 2203 01:54:56.520 --> 01:54:57.720 Five matches tomorrow. 2204 01:54:58.479 --> 01:55:00.560 Man City's a minus one ninety six at home against 2205 01:55:00.560 --> 01:55:02.720 Spurs at a plus four seventy one, born with at 2206 01:55:02.760 --> 01:55:04.920 home favored against Wolves at a minus one twenty three. 2207 01:55:04.960 --> 01:55:07.680 Wolves are a plus three twenty five.

Burnley and Sunderland 2211 01:55:15.239 --> 01:55:17.680 an early marker for the teams that are being looked at, 2212 01:55:17.720 --> 01:55:20.600 possibly to just go back down to the championship. Burnley 2213 01:55:20.600 --> 01:55:22.880 a plus one twenty five draws a plus two to fifteen. 2214 01:55:23.000 --> 01:55:25.640 Sunderland a plus two forty three on the road Arsenal 2215 01:55:25.680 --> 01:55:27.560 big favorite at home against Leeds at a minus three 2216 01:55:27.680 --> 01:55:30.840 seventy leads and plus ninety ten draws a plus five 2217 01:55:30.880 --> 01:55:35.720 eighteen three.

Hosting Nottingham Forest at a 2219 01:55:38.560 --> 01:55:41.800 plus two eleven draws a plus two twenty seven. News 2220 01:55:42.000 --> 01:55:49.880 there that it is apparently Nuno is Spirito Santo and 2221 01:55:51.439 --> 01:55:56.960 the admittent of the front office. Nuno's casting doubts over 2222 01:55:57.000 --> 01:56:02.800 his future as his relationship with Angelinas Marianacus sours. From 2223 01:56:02.880 --> 01:56:06.600 Ben Fisher at the Guardian quote casting doubt over his future, 2224 01:56:07.279 --> 01:56:11.079 conceding the relationship with Merinacus has deteriorated and acknowledging there 2225 01:56:11.119 --> 01:56:13.439 is no smoke without fire. Ami reports he could be 2226 01:56:13.520 --> 01:56:17.399 sacked and so you secure European competition for the first 2227 01:56:17.439 --> 01:56:22.159 time in thirty years three year contract. In June pre 2228 01:56:22.239 --> 01:56:25.319 match press conference, Nuno, who tends to be guarded and 2229 01:56:25.359 --> 01:56:28.279 reluctant to overshare, divulge the breakdown of communication after being 2230 01:56:28.319 --> 01:56:31.680 asked whether his relationship with Marinacus has suffered. Quote, I 2231 01:56:31.720 --> 01:56:33.840 always had a very good relationship with the owner. Last 2232 01:56:33.840 --> 01:56:36.680 season was very close, almost daily basis this season not 2233 01:56:36.720 --> 01:56:39.279 so well. But I always believe the dialogue and your 2234 01:56:39.319 --> 01:56:42.920 opinion is always valid because my concern is the squad 2235 01:56:43.000 --> 01:56:44.520 and the season that we have ahead of us. But 2236 01:56:44.560 --> 01:56:47.239 our relations have changed. It is not so close, meaning 2237 01:56:47.239 --> 01:56:50.800 the relationship now, I'm being honest with you, I cannot 2238 01:56:50.840 --> 01:56:52.840 say that is the same because it's not the same. 2239 01:56:52.920 --> 01:56:54.960 The reason behind it, I don't know. My job is 2240 01:56:54.960 --> 01:56:57.159 always to try and anticipate what's coming ahead of us, 2241 01:56:57.560 --> 01:56:59.319 and that's what I said with respect. 2242 01:57:00.279 --> 01:57:01.359 It's not good. 2243 01:57:01.640 --> 01:57:03.520 I think everybody at the club should be together, but 2244 01:57:03.560 --> 01:57:05.600 it's not the reality. The reality is it's not what 2245 01:57:05.680 --> 01:57:07.159 it used to be. It was a good respect for 2246 01:57:07.279 --> 01:57:10.439 relationship but was more based on trust and sharing opinions, 2247 01:57:10.800 --> 01:57:15.960 and now it's not so good. Ask about the quote 2248 01:57:15.960 --> 01:57:18.000 where he possibly could be sacked. He says, where there's smoke, 2249 01:57:18.039 --> 01:57:19.680 goes fires. So I know how things work, but I'm 2250 01:57:19.680 --> 01:57:21.640 here to do my job. I understand because I'm worried. 2251 01:57:21.680 --> 01:57:23.920 I'm the first one to be worried. I'm the first 2252 01:57:23.920 --> 01:57:28.319 one to be concerned. There's no smoke without fire. So 2253 01:57:28.359 --> 01:57:31.920 that's what you're looking at with Nuno Spirito Santo and 2254 01:57:32.039 --> 01:57:37.840 the relationship having changed at Nottingham Forest Everton A plus 2255 01:57:37.840 --> 01:57:40.319 two oh nine.

David Barry, Jonathan 2322 02:01:13.640 --> 02:01:17.960 Johnson are upstairs. Okay, So, Lorenzo Hernandez, let's do some 2323 02:01:19.239 --> 02:01:25.319 Let's do some digging into the kind of style he 2324 02:01:25.520 --> 02:01:32.600 has and what his stats are this season when it 2325 02:01:32.640 --> 02:01:40.920 comes to whistles and such. So according to our friends 2326 02:01:40.920 --> 02:01:42.960 at who scored and this is where we traditionally go 2327 02:01:43.840 --> 02:01:49.640 for these kinds of assignment. So it is Lorenzo Hernandez, 2328 02:01:51.000 --> 02:01:55.760 twelve in the middle, averages twenty three and three quarter 2329 02:01:55.880 --> 02:01:57.000 fouls per game. 2330 02:01:59.159 --> 02:02:00.000 He has. 2331 02:02:01.520 --> 02:02:04.960 Fifty let's see, so he's got fifty seven yellow cards 2332 02:02:04.960 --> 02:02:07.760 and twelve matches, so he averages four and three quarters 2333 02:02:08.560 --> 02:02:12.119 when it comes to four and three quarters when it 2334 02:02:12.159 --> 02:02:15.399 comes to all of the matchups that he has called 2335 02:02:15.439 --> 02:02:19.439 this season. Foulsper tackle about three quarters of a foul 2336 02:02:19.479 --> 02:02:23.039 per tackle, and he does have he's got to penalties 2337 02:02:23.039 --> 02:02:27.680 per game two thirds. Hang on just a second, So 2338 02:02:27.720 --> 02:02:29.199 if he's going to be calling a lot of if 2339 02:02:29.199 --> 02:02:31.279 he's going to be calling a lot of penalties here, 2340 02:02:33.159 --> 02:02:39.800 football statistics, top tournaments, No, hang on, so what did 2341 02:02:39.880 --> 02:02:40.920 we traditionally do. 2342 02:02:42.600 --> 02:02:43.159 Referees? 2343 02:02:43.239 --> 02:02:48.439 Hang on? Yes, I meant referees. What did we do here, 2344 02:02:49.279 --> 02:02:51.880 Lorenzo Hernandez ref stats? 2345 02:02:52.560 --> 02:02:53.960 What did we do here? Hang on? 2346 02:02:57.399 --> 02:03:01.159 He's got twelve, so four two and three's gotta throw. 2347 02:03:01.239 --> 02:03:03.560 So that's a little off. So it's twenty three and 2348 02:03:04.079 --> 02:03:08.359 so he averages two and three quarters yellow cards a match. 2349 02:03:08.399 --> 02:03:11.479 He calls about twenty four fouls a match, so it 2350 02:03:11.479 --> 02:03:16.439 doesn't really give a whole lot of cards. But it 2351 02:03:16.600 --> 02:03:29.359 looks like Lorenzo Hernandez gives us a couple of okay, statistics, 2352 02:03:29.439 --> 02:03:31.600 This was how we did it. I don't want statistics. 2353 02:03:32.640 --> 02:03:36.439 It was not tournaments. It was actually referees. 2354 02:03:37.560 --> 02:03:39.439 But h crap. 2355 02:03:39.640 --> 02:03:41.600 So of course you can't find it in short notice. 2356 02:03:42.960 --> 02:03:45.359 I don't want football statistics. But it was who scored, 2357 02:03:45.439 --> 02:03:47.119 was where we were. So it looks like he doesn't 2358 02:03:47.119 --> 02:03:49.760 really flash a whole lot of yellow cards, averages about 2359 02:03:49.800 --> 02:03:56.720 twenty four fouls a match, and so that's kind of 2360 02:03:56.760 --> 02:03:59.800 where we are. So let's see if stats up can 2361 02:03:59.840 --> 02:04:04.479 get it to me quicker. Not really Okay, so much 2362 02:04:04.520 --> 02:04:07.159 for that idea, all right, But anyway, it looks like 2363 02:04:07.399 --> 02:04:09.600 he's not all that when it comes to the cards, 2364 02:04:10.319 --> 02:04:16.279 and not all that when it comes to all of 2365 02:04:16.319 --> 02:04:18.279 the fouls. It looks like he calls about twenty four 2366 02:04:18.279 --> 02:04:25.159 fouls a match, and it looks like, so let's get 2367 02:04:25.199 --> 02:04:27.720 into the referee section. I don't want to click there. 2368 02:04:27.800 --> 02:04:30.720 I'm going to close it, and so once again I 2369 02:04:30.720 --> 02:04:35.079 apologize for twenty twenty four. I don't want twenty twenty four. 2370 02:04:35.119 --> 02:04:39.039 I want twenty twenty five. So twenty twenty five, all right, 2371 02:04:39.119 --> 02:04:48.520 So Philip Douyitch, referees, etc. So hang on, So referees stats, 2372 02:04:48.600 --> 02:04:54.079 top goal scorer, So match is called U. Lorenzo Hernandez 2373 02:04:54.199 --> 02:04:55.079 is called twelve. 2374 02:04:55.199 --> 02:04:56.039 He has. 2375 02:04:59.159 --> 02:05:02.560 It can't be yeah, So fifty seven yellows in twelve matches, 2376 02:05:03.479 --> 02:05:09.680 So that puts him in I wish we had a 2377 02:05:09.680 --> 02:05:12.520 better layout of all of this, but fifty seven kind 2378 02:05:12.520 --> 02:05:15.079 of puts him in the middle. He called six matches 2379 02:05:15.159 --> 02:05:17.399 last year, had thirty two yellow cards, twelve matches this 2380 02:05:17.479 --> 02:05:21.399 season fifty seven. So that's that's where we are with 2381 02:05:21.439 --> 02:05:26.079 Lorenzo Hernandez as a referee. So twenty four ish fouls 2382 02:05:26.279 --> 02:05:29.520 and he pulls about four yellows in that grouping. So 2383 02:05:29.520 --> 02:05:32.800 that's Lorenzo Hernandez quick stats for us that really weren't 2384 02:05:32.800 --> 02:05:34.319 all that quick because I was trying to find him 2385 02:05:34.319 --> 02:05:37.279 and I didn't. So that is that's what we're looking 2386 02:05:37.279 --> 02:05:41.720 at with Morning Dell and Charleston and Louden. Yes, definitely 2387 02:05:41.720 --> 02:05:45.239 looking forward to that one this weekend in USL Championship. 2388 02:05:45.279 --> 02:05:48.000 Next week at some point our buddy a Keayler Hodges 2389 02:05:48.000 --> 02:05:49.560 will be joining us and we'll find out what's going 2390 02:05:49.600 --> 02:05:52.000 on with him. So MLS, let's see who's calling what 2391 02:05:53.000 --> 02:05:56.039 and see if the announced teams have been announced. I 2392 02:05:56.039 --> 02:06:00.520 thought they had because I thought I saw them and 2393 02:06:00.760 --> 02:06:04.560 it was a layout of who's calling what. We know 2394 02:06:04.640 --> 02:06:09.720 that Tony and Ross are calling their match, So emiless communications. 2395 02:06:09.800 --> 02:06:12.319 Let me go here, and I apologize for not having 2396 02:06:12.399 --> 02:06:15.840 this up faster considering that we had all the guests 2397 02:06:15.840 --> 02:06:18.359 that we had, And once again, thanks to thanks to 2398 02:06:18.439 --> 02:06:21.359 Casey D and thanks to Ross Smith for joining us 2399 02:06:21.359 --> 02:06:25.439 in our number two and thanks to all of you 2400 02:06:25.479 --> 02:06:26.640 guys for hanging out with us. 2401 02:06:26.560 --> 02:06:27.439 Here as well. 2402 02:06:27.560 --> 02:06:30.680 So okay, so it's not an MLS communication all right, 2403 02:06:30.720 --> 02:06:33.760 So I guess we don't have the announced teams set 2404 02:06:33.800 --> 02:06:38.800 up yet anyway.
