And and I think everybody at the 196 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:48.679 time was kind of stunned because generally when you're in 197 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.080 the locker room and guys are done, you know, they 198 00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:53.759 turn around and they look at their phone and get dressed. 199 00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:54.679 They want to get out. 200 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.879 Yeah, but it was, yeah, it was. It was very 201 00:08:57.919 --> 00:08:59.919 enlightening and I remember that that those are those are my. 202 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:02.639 It was always when's the last time you were in 203 00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:03.279 a locker room? 204 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:09.440 Oh, very long time, because it had to have been 205 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.799 an NBA playoff game, because the college football playoff in 206 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.559 theory has open locker rooms, but they don't really like 207 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:17.919 when I was down at the Rose Bowl for Oregon 208 00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:23.399 Ohio State, Oregon just brought out a few guys and 209 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.679 just had them speak outside the locker room, like you 210 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:28.679 didn't go in there. A lot of these guys find 211 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:32.519 a way to wiggle around the quote unquote rules. Generally, 212 00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:35.840 in a professional setting it's more open. I don't know 213 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:38.519 if Arcel does it anymore. That's where I spent most 214 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.519 of my locker room time when I was on the beat, 215 00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:43.600 was just going in there after you know, games, and 216 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.080 talking to guys. But I think they've changed it up 217 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.320 a little bit as well. But the locker room dynamic 218 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:49.279 is fascinating. 219 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:53.639 It was always interesting in kind of awkward where because 220 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.320 I was a pr intern for the Jazz for two 221 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:57.200 years and so I go in and make sure the 222 00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.679 guys were ready before you let the media, and then 223 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:01.639 the media would come in and guys would come out 224 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:06.000 of the shower, take their towel off, sit down, start 225 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:07.879 to get dressed while the media is like awkwardly standing 226 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:09.679 there waiting to ask them questions while these dudes are 227 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:10.159 buck naked. 228 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:11.799 It's not a weird thing. 229 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.559 It is. I mean, we could spend an hour. 230 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:16.919 We've got forty eight minutes you can. 231 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:21.320 I feel like most organizations have figured it out. I 232 00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.799 mean there is. It all starts with the communication. You 233 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:25.840 have to communicate with the PR staff who you want 234 00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:30.559 to talk to. You know, a unique thing in the 235 00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:35.200 world of IF pro locker rooms. Excuse me as the sidling. 236 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:35.600 You know. 237 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:37.559 Brian Curtis the Ringer did a great story a few 238 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.559 years ago about reporters that kind of stake out for 239 00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:44.600 one on ones after the throngs have moved on from 240 00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.399 one player to another. It's an interesting dynamic. I find 241 00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:51.120 it very fascinating. It's the inner workings of interpersonal communication 242 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:54.399 at its both like finest when it works, but also 243 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:56.360 like it could be its worst at the same time, 244 00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.440 because it could be awkward if you're not good at it, 245 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.159 and we've seen often how bad some people are at 246 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.559 I mean, like at least once every six months. One 247 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:08.679 of my best friends sends me the Russell Westbrook clip. 248 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.879 Oh yeah, the Jazz winner. Did you lose this one? 249 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:12.240 Yeah? 250 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:16.720 And Russ just delivering an all timer. Like that's one example, 251 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.159 and there is a litany of them. So just basically 252 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.320 advice to folks who are coming up or who are 253 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:23.799 doing it, just be prepared. 254 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:23.919 And be good. 255 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.320 You know, we have one of the biggest idiots that's here. 256 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:32.559 Actually ruined was one of the reasons locker room dynamics 257 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:36.480 in the NBA changed, and it was the origin story 258 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:40.960 of nightlife with Golden State. You remember this, So Golden 259 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:45.080 State in town and this was before the media was 260 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.559 supposed to be allowed in to ask questions or whatever. Like, 261 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.320 all the players were talking off record, and this idiot, 262 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.799 this clown, starts tweeting out a private conversation between Draymond 263 00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:59.120 Green and his teammates and Draymond said something about the 264 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:03.320 nightlife and Sali and this loser sends it out via Twitter, 265 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:06.320 and that's how the nightlife thing exploded. 266 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:08.720 Draymond was not on the record knocking on Salt Lake. 267 00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.200 It was an off the record conversation he was having 268 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.440 with teammates and this bozo It isn't really a media member, 269 00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:16.519 but claims that he is at times decided to send 270 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:17.840 out these tweets like an idiot. 271 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.360 Well, and the irony of it all is the Warriors. 272 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.720 A lot of Warriors staffers and players say that their 273 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.919 favorite restaurant in the country is Steve Kerry Alters Alters 274 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:30.440 Yet so rest in peace? 275 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.600 Yeah, okay, well we could keep going. Oh wait, I 276 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.200 wanted to tell you because you brought up ourselves. I 277 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:36.799 ever told you about the time that Tray yelled at 278 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:37.200 me because of. 279 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:40.279 Eddie Pope what No, but I want to hear about it. 280 00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:41.320 Locker room tie. 281 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.840 Okay, so this was year one Rice ecles locker room 282 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:51.559 RSL players in that old University of Utah, Yeah, which 283 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.399 is just a dump when they've obviously redone it. It's 284 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.960 great now. And KSL rolls up and they wanted to 285 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.240 do a vignette on Eddie. They wanted Eddie to come out, 286 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.440 and they were gonna do this vignette and put. 287 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:03.919 It on the news. 288 00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:06.720 And so Trey says, hey, Spence, go grab Eddie poke 289 00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:09.440 ks els here. So walk in the locker room and 290 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:12.879 I find Eddie in a towel, said, Eddie kassa El's here. 291 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:14.279 They want to do a vignette on you. You know, 292 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:16.200 can you roll out? And Eddie said, yeah, I'm about 293 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.480 topping the shower. It's okay, we'll just come out after 294 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.320 you're done showering. So I walk out and Trey's standing there, 295 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:28.080 suit credential, very serious, you know, little general as there were, 296 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.720 and he says, where's Eddie. I said, uh, he's showering. 297 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:33.639 He was in this tower. He's about to do top 298 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:35.120 in the shower. He's gonna come out after a shower. 299 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:38.240 And he goes, You've got to learn to be a professional. 300 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:44.919 And I said, calm down, lord, far quad, chill out. No, 301 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:48.200 he came out after the shower. But Trey was mad 302 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.639 that Eddie wasn't following me. What Here's what Trey was doing. 303 00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:53.879 He was flexing in front of the media. He was 304 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:55.000 preparing you. 305 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:57.879 He wanted Rod Zundel to think he was cool. He 306 00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.360 wasn't preparing me. I didn't need to be prepared by Trey. 307 00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:03.759 He just wanted to flex in front of people, like, hey, 308 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.000 this is covered a match. 309 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:08.399 Zippy was there? Got zippy? 310 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.200 So yes, that was when and Trey and I used 311 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.480 to go at it. We still do occasionally. But he 312 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.919 was upset that I could not drag Eddy Pope, who 313 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.559 was in a towel outside to do a hit with KSL. 314 00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:20.000 Life's Hard Man. 315 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.120 That's all you got on that. I mean, he was 316 00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.840 showing off, you know, Trey, he was getting chesty. 317 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.960 He had his fourth quad shot vanilla latte from Starbucks 318 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:33.960 in his hand from that day and he just wanted 319 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:35.080 to show. 320 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.279 People who twenty years ago. 321 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:38.519 You know what I think? 322 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:43.440 Actually, quad shot is less than I think Trey liked 323 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.320 six shots in his lattes. You know, Elliott's first job 324 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.320 with the club was fetching tray coffee. 325 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.559 Text from Trey. Yeah missed the life shot. 326 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:53.559 Yeah yeah, well we didn't know, we didn't. He came 327 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:55.360 out after the shower, everything was fine. 328 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:58.399 It was because of his damn caffeine addiction. He was 329 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.480 mad at me because he had his sixth after training 330 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:04.720 or after a game. It was after training, okay, is 331 00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:06.720 maybe if it was after a game and you know, 332 00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:09.879 emotions were running high. No, no, no, there's no what 333 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:11.279 was I supposed to do? 334 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:11.639 Eddie? 335 00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:13.200 Take the towel off and get dressed. 336 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:13.480 Eddie. 337 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:15.480 You need to get out there, and you need to 338 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:20.919 get Nicholas Bassanio under your wing, because he is the 339 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:21.799 future of the club. 340 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:25.039 Nick Basano, who John Elager once told me the only 341 00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:26.840 danger in drafting him is he'll be in Europe in 342 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:31.559 three years and he was backpacking, not playing soccer. Speaking 343 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:33.039 of ourselves. We're gonna get a nine. We're going to 344 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:34.679 get an addition, they're going to make some signings. We 345 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:35.720 had problem on earlier. 346 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:36.320 What do you say? 347 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.120 He basically said, we need help, and he did drop 348 00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:42.960 four to five days. 349 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:44.759 He thinks they'll get a couple across the line. 350 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:47.159 Well, four to five days if you get it across 351 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:50.360 the line, meaning you get documents signed, which is the 352 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:52.559 problem right Well, and then you have to file for 353 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:56.960 visas and all of the international travel stuff, which I 354 00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:00.320 would imagine is a little more difficult right now depending 355 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.759 on where some of these players play good points and 356 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:08.399 the window closes the last or second last to yeah, second, 357 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:09.879 so we're about the last week of eight. 358 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:11.279 Last we're less than a month away, man. 359 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.039 Yeah, And I think this was my my biggest concern 360 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.320 going into this thing was these things take time. They 361 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:22.240 take a very long time often, and oursel could find 362 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:25.360 its could find itself in a place where they don't 363 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:28.759 get a player over until late April early May. I 364 00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:31.440 don't know when the last time that player played got 365 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:35.639 to acclimate to the league, altitude, team whatever, and suddenly 366 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:38.480 this team that's already kind of behind the eight ball 367 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:39.759 is even more behind the eight ball. 368 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:45.000 Good points, depressing points were good points, so well. 369 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:46.919 I mean, no, you're not wrong, No, I know. 370 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:49.919 I'm just saying, like, this team isn't good enough right 371 00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:53.120 now to rely on being able to stack up points 372 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:56.600 late in the season. Last year, if they were able 373 00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:01.440 to maintain an Andrasco miss, if Chicho Wrong's RSL career 374 00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:04.279 doesn't go south, that team was good enough if it 375 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:06.839 was up against it. This team's not. It's not even close. 376 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:10.279 So you tell me what's fair to say about the following, 377 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:14.200 because I've heard this and there's also a club span. 378 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:14.839 On this as well. 379 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:17.519 And I don't really know what the numbers, okay, because 380 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.839 it's not dollar for dollar. It's not Hey, you receive 381 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.000 sixteen seventeen million or whatever it is in exchange for 382 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:26.119 the players you moved off of. 383 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:27.200 I don't know what the number is. 384 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:28.960 You're talking about the Gomez sale, I'm. 385 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:29.720 Talking about all of it. 386 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.200 Gomez sale, you move off of Crooks you sell cheat 387 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:34.920 Show for pennies on the dollar, but probably the bulk 388 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:38.640 of it comes from selling adres and from the fan perspective. Okay, 389 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:41.880 good job, proof of concept, tie five, reinvest the funds 390 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:42.279 and talent. 391 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:42.880 Is that fair? 392 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:43.640 It's not how it works. 393 00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:43.960 Okay. 394 00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:45.519 So in MLS, help me understand. 395 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.880 You sell andres for I guess at its top amount 396 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.200 was like maybe fourteen ish. But if you think about 397 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:57.839 how MLS works as a structure, it is a umbrella league. 398 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:01.400 The reason why RSL can bring in designated players is 399 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:04.759 because the league takes a majority of that budget hit 400 00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:08.279 per player salary. It is a very unique setup. It 401 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:12.480
