Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be one of those days, all right.
Speaker 1: Since it is a Friday, that means one thing. Well,
Speaker 1: it means one thing at the beginning of the show,
Speaker 1: and it means one thing at the end of the show.
Speaker 1: Since it's the beginning of the show, that means we
Speaker 1: start off this way.

Speaker 1: and Sophia were down at Whitewater for our resident alum
Speaker 1: Sophia Coupertino alumna Sophia Coupertino for that match up involving
Speaker 1: a Cony County who's chasing after three in a row.
Speaker 1: Now with there went over Whitewater, I was up at
Speaker 1: Jefferson for the craziness that was the Jefferson Cherokee Bluff
Speaker 1: match finished up five to Jefferson and a Coney County,
Speaker 1: and I guess I should put out the bat signal
Speaker 1: for head coach Judson Hanby for Tuesday, as these two
Speaker 1: will score off against each other and so it'll be
Speaker 1: a Cony County and Jefferson Triple A Girls Final and
Speaker 1: that is going to be on Wednesday, I believe, and
Speaker 1: we'll catch up with Molly McCarty, the head coach of
Speaker 1: Jefferson on Tuesday, because we figured that out during the
Speaker 1: postgame show. While we were waiting to figure out if
Speaker 1: Cony County one and Maddy Cone had another big night,
Speaker 1: she had a brace for a Coney County troublesome. She
Speaker 1: is she is a problem quoting Derek Whittenberg. Paraphrasing Derek Whittenberg,
Speaker 1: she is a problem for defenses as a freshman at

Speaker 1: obviously you know one of the big stories that broke
Speaker 1: out about eight o'clock this morning our time. Shabi Alonzo Yes,
Speaker 1: Ricky Yeah, Shabi Alonso as the uh as the the
Speaker 1: Price is Right version of everything. He has confirmed he's
Speaker 1: leaving bayer lever Cusan at the end of the season
Speaker 1: news conference today. Three years at levercs and had the
Speaker 1: undefeated league campaign in twenty three twenty four as part
Speaker 1: of the domestic double. He's going to depart after the
Speaker 1: final two Bundesliga matches At year he said he's not
Speaker 1: going to discuss his future. This is from Alex Kirkland
Speaker 1: and Rodrigo Phis at the Four Letter, saying it was
Speaker 1: not the moment. It's not the moment to talk about
Speaker 1: my future. Yet he kind of half opened the door
Speaker 1: by saying he's not coming back. So I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: talk about the future. But in two matches my future
Speaker 1: won't be here.
Speaker 4: Ah. But yes.
Speaker 1: A real Madrid source told the Four Letter on Friday
Speaker 1: that Alonso is close in quotation marks to becoming the
Speaker 1: club's new coach, with Carlo Ancelotti expected to leave after
Speaker 1: the last La Liga game against ral Sociodot. Shabi said
Speaker 1: in the presser this week, the club and I agree
Speaker 1: these two games will be my last Tobyer lever Cus
Speaker 1: and it's always about the moment. Now is the right
Speaker 1: moment to announce. It also had good We've always had
Speaker 1: good direct communication with the club and now we have clarity.
Speaker 1: We want to have a proper farewell on Sunday at
Speaker 1: home against Brusha Dortmund. It's emotional to talk to the
Speaker 1: players this morning. Unbelievable, fantastic three years now, It's a
Speaker 1: moment to share with the fans on Sunday. I think
Speaker 1: we can be proud of what we've achieved. We've been
Speaker 1: taking the club in the right the right direction. They
Speaker 1: ESPN obviously and a bunch of other folks have reported
Speaker 1: that the former Real Madrid midfielder, who began his coaching
Speaker 1: career with the academy, has long been their clubs preferred
Speaker 1: candidate to succeed Ancelotti. He's come under pressure, obviously after
Speaker 1: Madrid's elimination in the Champions League quarters defeating the Copa
Speaker 1: del Rey. They go into Sunday's classic caught Barca still
Speaker 1: with a chance of winning the La Liga title, Alonzo
Speaker 1: said after Mix. Once the season is wrapped, it'll be
Speaker 1: the moment for the next thing. Not clear whether Alonzo
Speaker 1: would take charge of Madrid immediately to coach them in
Speaker 1: the Club World Cup, or whether Madrid will'll point an
Speaker 1: interim coach for the tournament. Club will make their debut
Speaker 1: in the competition against Al Hilal at hard Rock on
Speaker 1: the eighteenth of June, so thirty nine days from now.
Speaker 1: Alonzo said he had no idea when a journalist jokingly
Speaker 1: asked if he possessed a US visa. ESPN's report and
Speaker 1: Santi Solari, who is currently Madrid's director of football, is
Speaker 1: one of the options on the table, with the names
Speaker 1: of under U nineteen of A unineteen coach Alvaro Arbeloa
Speaker 1: and Castigia coach Roald Gonzalez have not been ruled out.
Speaker 1: Shabi took charge lever Cues in first top flight gig
Speaker 1: after coaching at Royal Sociodot's reserve side in October of
Speaker 1: twenty two, and they had the unbeaten domestic double in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, second place in the Bundesliga and in
Speaker 1: the Champions League.
Speaker 4: They were beaten by Byron in the round of sixteen.
Speaker 1: Also revealed that his behind the scenes relationships at lever Cusan,
Speaker 1: including with CEO Fernando Caro, had been a part of
Speaker 1: his decision making when he opted not to leave the
Speaker 1: club a year ago. It's one of the quote, it's
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why last year I decided to
Speaker 1: stay because I felt really well here and he said
Speaker 1: that hasn't changed, but maybe the moment is different. So
Speaker 1: in going to be one of the one of the
Speaker 1: non surprising surprises going to have, You're gonna have Shabi
Speaker 1: Alonza leaving and perhaps heading over to Real Madrid. Most
Speaker 1: law was the named Footballer of the Year Alessia Russo,
Speaker 1: who wins the FWA Player of the Year, and you
Speaker 1: now have Arnad Slutz saying that he was disappointed by
Speaker 1: the Trent Alexander Arnold exit mentioned that publicly in his
Speaker 1: pressor Beth Lindoff at the Four Letter Disappointed Trent Alexander
Speaker 1: Arnold decided to leave the club this summer, but has
Speaker 1: backed the Reds to adapt following his departure. Once again
Speaker 1: expected to join Real Madrid on a free announced the
Speaker 1: decision back on Monday. Sources told The Four Letter back
Speaker 1: in March, Madrid or quote very optimistic about signing the
Speaker 1: England international, although in agreement has not been finalized. Alexander
Speaker 1: Ardol once again joined Liverpool's academy at the age of six,
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty appearances with the club eight major honors.
Speaker 1: Defender rejected a new paid deal at Anfield would have
Speaker 1: maybe one of the best paid fullbacks in world football.
Speaker 1: Slut at his press conference today like everybody quote, like
Speaker 1: everybody who likes Liverpool and who's a fan of Liverpool,
Speaker 1: we're disappointed for him leaving because not only good human
Speaker 1: being is leaving, but a very good full back is
Speaker 1: leaving us as well. I also worked at clubs like
Speaker 1: az Alcmar and finin Ard where every season good player
Speaker 1: is left, so I'm a bit more used to it.
Speaker 1: The experience I have in this club as well is
Speaker 1: if a good, a good, very good player is leaving,
Speaker 1: the next very good player will step up, and that's
Speaker 1: what probably will happen again. Sources told the Four Letter
Speaker 1: around Madrid want to Alexander Arnold to join him for
Speaker 1: the Club World Cup, playing the whole talks with Liverpool
Speaker 1: to negotiate the early release. Remember that Liverpool, well, Real
Speaker 1: Madrid was kind of like yo, fam, how about fifty
Speaker 1: fifty grand and Liverpool's like no higher. So they're gonna
Speaker 1: they're gonna do the prices right and figure out Trent
Speaker 1: Alexander Arnold's escape, and Slit said, do you know where
Speaker 1: Trent's going?
Speaker 4: He hasn't said anything about it himself.
Speaker 1: The only thing he said is that he'll leave the club,
Speaker 1: so it's impossible to comment in where he's going. And
Speaker 1: if that is a club, they'll play in the Club
Speaker 1: World Cup. You see, by my smile, we both know
Speaker 1: where he's going. But it hasn't been said yet. Asked
Speaker 1: about the reaction to the departure, Slut said that people
Speaker 1: have an opinion about us, whether it's Trend or me
Speaker 1: or someone else that works in this industry. It's not
Speaker 1: new for anyone. Fram it's a bit more negative than
Speaker 1: he's used to. But I don't follow all of this,
Speaker 1: not here to tell the fans how they should react.
Speaker 1: I'll see Trent a bit boys had a few days
Speaker 1: off his wall. I'll wait and see how he feels
Speaker 1: abou him announcing he's going to leave the club. Connor
Speaker 1: Bradley is likely to start Liverpool's Premier League clash Old
Speaker 1: Arsenal on Sunday. Twenty one year old needs more game
Speaker 1: time after an injury plagued year. Slut said, we're not
Speaker 1: going to compare him to Trent, two different types of player.
Speaker 1: With Connor, we see all the potential, very talented player
Speaker 1: hasn't been fit throughout this entire season. To become a
Speaker 1: very good player, you have to be available every single week.
Speaker 1: That's the first step he has to make for next season.
Speaker 1: But we have a lot of confidence in Connor for
Speaker 1: a very good fullback in Liverpool. That's what he's already
Speaker 1: shown so uh Connor Bradley. So if you have Trent
Speaker 1: Alexander Arnold and your fans see Ben, you might want
Speaker 1: to look at that and change it. Opasta Coglu has
Speaker 1: hit back on anyone who says that he's trying to
Speaker 1: diminish his side's achievement of reaching the European Final, adding
Speaker 1: quote he couldn't care less about the club's Premier League form.
Speaker 1: Spurs stood up to Bodo Glimpt on Thursday, winning to nil,
Speaker 1: taking the tie five to one on the aggregate, booking
Speaker 1: a place in the Europa League Final against Manchester United.
Speaker 1: And remember at the beginning of the season it was
Speaker 1: Pasta Coglu who said, yeah, by year two I start
Speaker 1: winning things. So he could he could be heading into
Speaker 1: possibly Champions League or the Spurs, sorry, Spurs could be
Speaker 1: heading into Champions League if one Pasta Coglu knocks off
Speaker 1: Manchester United. That screaming herd was Ardrew Dickinson. So Spurs
Speaker 1: Manchester United just hagging above the relegation fight in the
Speaker 1: Premier League for most of the year and they're fighting
Speaker 1: for the Europa League title. Rubin Amerim has been a
Speaker 1: keen to stress that winning Europa League would not save
Speaker 1: their season. Pasta Coglu took directly the opposite due after
Speaker 1: Thursday's match, saying winning a trophy will be for more
Speaker 1: successful and just finishing high in the table. Pasta Coglu said,
Speaker 1: quote that is going to upset a lot of people.
Speaker 1: There'll be debates now raging in neither of us, meaning
Speaker 1: United in Spurs. We'll be able to get a trophy
Speaker 1: if we win. We're just going to take a team
Speaker 1: photo because we're not worthy. Who cares if we're struggling
Speaker 1: in the league. Why is that important? If it's so
Speaker 1: easy to get to a final, then why doesn't everyone
Speaker 1: who finished in the top three do it? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a separate thing. It's got nothing to do with
Speaker 1: league form. We understand our league form hasn't been great
Speaker 1: under Sell. We understand the struggles we've had, a lot
Speaker 1: of them are because of the situation we've been in.
Speaker 1: But how does that diminish the achievement of getting to
Speaker 1: a final? Like I said, this club and others have
Speaker 1: finished first, second or third in the Premier League and
Speaker 1: have it made finals, So why should that be diminished?
Speaker 1: I couldn't care less about who's struggling and who not.
Speaker 1: I think both us and Man United have earned the
Speaker 1: right to be there. I think we're probably beating teams.
Speaker 1: It'll be in the Champions League next year on our
Speaker 1: road to getting there, so looking forward to it should
Speaker 1: be about game and so Spurs rivals Arsenal ending the
Speaker 1: season trophy list. Despite being involved in the title race
Speaker 1: and the prim and the Champions League semis, Spurs have
Speaker 1: not won a trophy since lifting the League Cup in
Speaker 1: eight first European final. They felt the final hurtling is
Speaker 1: Liverpool in the Champions League in twenty nineteen. It's exactly
Speaker 1: what everyone would be saying. Of course, this making a
Speaker 1: European final is massive, so Anchipasta Cooglu is like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's massive.
Speaker 4: Rubin a mariem not so much.
Speaker 1: Shoot, I mean come on now and sorry, Alex, I
Speaker 1: have to bring this up as we kind of tour
Speaker 1: the Premier League here before the bottom of the hour,
Speaker 1: it appears it appears Newcastle is gonna scrap their crest
Speaker 1: for a new version. Process of creating a new badge
Speaker 1: has begun, as the club announced quote the need to
Speaker 1: keep pace end quote. With the symbols growing global status.
Speaker 1: Sorry alex it appears Newcastle is. They have concluded the
Speaker 1: current design, released back in eighty eight, is too complex
Speaker 1: and intricate for modern branding needs. The club have decided
Speaker 1: to start the process of creating a new badge, in
Speaker 1: a move that will provoke conflicting emotions among supporters.
Speaker 4: That's why we bring this up.
Speaker 1: Wonder what Dylan Butler thinks about this club statement today
Speaker 1: quote as our club grows in the global stage. I
Speaker 1: feel like I should read this differently. As our club
Speaker 1: grows on the global stage, the subull that represents us
Speaker 1: needs to be able to keep pace, needs to show
Speaker 1: up clearly and confidently across everything from kits to screens
Speaker 1: to merchandise. Look, actually, I'll save it. So we've been
Speaker 1: asking ourselves how well does our current crest represent the
Speaker 1: club today and how well would serve us tomorrow. It's
Speaker 1: time to update our crest. This isn't a decision we
Speaker 1: take lightly. We love our crest. It's iconic and it
Speaker 1: stood us through unforgetable triumphs and testing times. But it
Speaker 1: was created in a different era. Its intricate design doesn't
Speaker 1: always translate well in today's digital world, and it's difficult
Speaker 1: to reproduce it clearly and consistently. As football in the
Speaker 1: world changes, so too must assembly that unites us.
Speaker 4: End quote.
Speaker 1: Fourth time since nineteen fifty that Newcastle have redesigned the crest,
Speaker 1: currently heavily based on the city's coat of arms and
Speaker 1: includes the motto triumph through Defense written in Latin, nod
Speaker 1: to Newcastle's importance first as a Roman outpost part of
Speaker 1: Hadrian's Wall and then the city on the frontier of the
Speaker 1: border with Scotland. Citi's crest reflects the maritime heritage, drew
Speaker 1: two sea horses and also it has a small line
Speaker 1: with the flag of Saint George atop, sitting a castle turret.
Speaker 1: New Crest in the seventies, focusing on the Norman castle
Speaker 1: which gave the city its name in a magpie. Relaunched
Speaker 1: again in the early eighties with the sleek NUFC design
Speaker 1: on the shirt worn by Paul Gascoyne and Chris Waddle,
Speaker 1: which looks like something rather avant garde as I'm seeing
Speaker 1: it for the first time. Club returned to the coat
Speaker 1: of arms theme in the late eighties, remained the badge
Speaker 1: ever since. Survey has been sent out to supporters asking
Speaker 1: for feedback understood. As many as four different designs will
Speaker 1: be created and shared with a public vote to determine
Speaker 1: which option is the preferred one. Different options will be designed,
Speaker 1: with the internal preference to focus on refining and reviving
Speaker 1: the current rather than a reinvention, spoke to the Fan
Speaker 1: Advisory Board. Refine and revive as the recommended approach won't
Speaker 1: be designed in time for next year, but the intention
Speaker 1: is to have reached a decision on the new look
Speaker 1: in time for the twenty six twenty seven campaign. I
Speaker 1: don't know how many of you know this story, so
Speaker 1: I guess this is story time with John When how
Speaker 1: many of you show of hands? Remember when June Jones
Speaker 1: became the head coach at Hawaii and Lee Steinberg was
Speaker 1: his agent at the time. Show of hands? Anybody, anybody,
Speaker 1: those of us of a certain age, anyone.
Speaker 4: They decided to go away.
Speaker 1: And you see this now in retro and things like
Speaker 1: that when you go to retro gear stores and things
Speaker 1: like that. You remember the UH and the Rainbow because
Speaker 1: they were the Rainbow Warriors at the time. June Jones
Speaker 1: when he came to campus and Lee Steinberg decided that
Speaker 1: they wanted to change the design of the uh rainbow
Speaker 1: logo and they caught holy hell for it. They they
Speaker 1: redesigned it and it ended up with the Polynesian design
Speaker 1: with the H and the rainbow was the rainbow disappeared
Speaker 1: from the design. And this was part of that run
Speaker 1: when they had Colt Brennant quarterback and they went to
Speaker 1: the Sugar Bowl and got you know, and got completely
Speaker 1: destroyed by the University of Georgia. That was that time
Speaker 1: frame with June Jones. What folks on the island told
Speaker 1: June Jones at that time when they were redesigning the
Speaker 1: logos that you're messing with the islands ali e al
Speaker 1: i apostrophe eye and you know, like Hawaii is in
Speaker 1: true spelling h a w a I apostrophe I Hawaii
Speaker 1: to give that pause in between the two eyes. So
Speaker 1: you're messing with the island nations.
Speaker 4: Ali E what the short version of ali e.
Speaker 1: Is like your juju, your mojo, your your identity, A
Speaker 1: couple on a couple of different dimensions. And they were
Speaker 1: told by those on the island who are firm believers
Speaker 1: in ali E and what it means to you know,
Speaker 1: to the heart and to the philosophy on the island.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, and I'm paraphrasing, bruh, don't do it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's bad juju. Shortly after the redesign of
Speaker 1: the U H Rainbow Warrior logo was when June Jones
Speaker 1: got into the auto what he got into the automobile
Speaker 1: crash on the island where I think he was. He
Speaker 1: had a Lincoln Town card that time, and it crashed
Speaker 1: into an abutment under an overpass. So a lot of
Speaker 1: folks sat there, and those who are those who are
Speaker 1: firm believers in uh, superstition and guidance of higher powers
Speaker 1: and things like that, they they were like, you know,
Speaker 1: that's that's what happens when you, you know, when you
Speaker 1: mess with the islands.
Speaker 4: Ali E. I fear.
Speaker 1: That this might end up being the same thing if
Speaker 1: Newcastle goes down this road, like I said, and I
Speaker 1: am a person that believes in history and believes in
Speaker 1: uh those kinds of things, and you know, ali E
Speaker 1: and juju and all of that stuff.
Speaker 4: So I fear.
Speaker 1: Just that part of me that is superstitious or ritualistic
Speaker 1: or whatever that you have a situation like that where
Speaker 1: Newcastle's deciding that why can't you technologically, you know, do
Speaker 1: why why can't you?
Speaker 4: Why can't you? It's kind of hard, Well why can't you?
Speaker 1: I mean technology over the last thirty seven years, I
Speaker 1: think has improved a little bit. Oh, it's too hard.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can reproduce that on merch
Speaker 1: And that was the key. It's like all these different
Speaker 1: things in merchandise. I'm like, oh, okay, you want something
Speaker 1: that's easy to turn on merch in the catalog as
Speaker 1: a part of your rebrand the Utah Mammoth. They did
Speaker 1: a hell of a job. You got an m and
Speaker 1: a mountain and a mammoth and Utah and all those
Speaker 1: things in the logo and the black sweater is awesome,
Speaker 1: But that's because you're new as you were trying to
Speaker 1: figure something out. This is the fourth redesign of the
Speaker 1: Newcastle logo and crest and you're like, yeah.
Speaker 4: You were.
Speaker 1: Look, it's kind of you know, we kind of need
Speaker 1: to look at things here to make it easier to reproduce.
Speaker 1: It needs to show up clearly and confidently across everything
Speaker 1: from kits to screens to merchandise, so gear that you wear,
Speaker 1: gear that you buy, and screensavers, among other things. That's
Speaker 1: what they're hunting for. Something that's easy to flip. What's
Speaker 1: wrong with what you have now? Maybe modernizing it, yeah,
Speaker 1: but going completely off the rails, like the the avant
Speaker 1: garde in UFC that I saw in the photographs from
Speaker 1: Luke Edwards at the Telegram. That's out there, man, that's
Speaker 1: like bubble letters on Saturday Morning cartoons in the nineties.
Speaker 1: So Newcastle is undergoing the idea of redesigning their crest.
Speaker 1: Don't want no sea horses, don't want no Latin, don't
Speaker 1: want no lion holding the flag on the top of
Speaker 1: a castle.
Speaker 4: We're redesigning, Okay.
Speaker 1: Like I said, man, you're messing with the alie of
Speaker 1: Newcastle by doing That's my gut, that's what my gut
Speaker 1: is telling me here.
Speaker 4: I mean this is I don't think it's like the.
Speaker 1: Whole Coke New Coke Coke Classic thing, But we haven't
Speaker 1: gotten to what New Coke looks like in Newcastle yet
Speaker 1: right now anyway. But at the same time, we don't
Speaker 1: know what it's gonna look like with Coke Classic coming out.
Speaker 1: On the other side, we haven't gotten New Coke with
Speaker 1: Newcastle yet. I want to see what New Coke looks
Speaker 1: like then I want to see the outrage that's attached,
Speaker 1: because you know that some folks are gonna like it,
Speaker 1: some folks are gonna hate it, some folks are gonna
Speaker 1: kind of be like, Eh, it's the three Bears of
Speaker 1: logos in merch. That's what you're staring at Newcastle. So
Speaker 1: Newcastle's gonna design stuff. Okay, So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I still think they're messing with the
Speaker 1: ali E, the Juju and all of that. Speaking of
Speaker 1: ali E and Juju, we bring in our mogul and
Speaker 1: training and find out what it was like to have
Speaker 1: a full Barn. I feel I feel like Michael, I
Speaker 1: feel like you had you got to have your proud.
Speaker 4: Father moment in the open copy. Am I wrong?
Speaker 5: I mean I no, You're not wrong. Would have been
Speaker 5: prouder had the result gone our way. But the performance
Speaker 5: was good. It was a little unlucky and uh, but
Speaker 5: all in all a tremendous week for the club and
Speaker 5: the stadium. So no complaints at all.
Speaker 4: So when you got up there walk me through.
Speaker 1: It was going through your mind as you're seeing everything,
Speaker 1: It's like, oh wow, this barn is really you know,
Speaker 1: fricking awesome. And then you have New England come to
Speaker 1: town and everything that's attached to all that.
Speaker 4: Walk me through your weeks.
Speaker 5: I got to the stadium Friday at about seven forty
Speaker 5: five in the morning, and two things. One, pictures don't
Speaker 5: do the stadium justice as far as like, it's much
Speaker 5: nicer in person and really cool right there on the
Speaker 5: water and you know, weather helps. Number Two, I was
Speaker 5: stunned at oh my god, there's eighty million little things
Speaker 5: that still need to be done around here. Oh yeah,
Speaker 5: so it was all hands on deck. I was at
Speaker 5: the stadium from seven to forty five until about nine
Speaker 5: to thirty pm all day, left for an hour and
Speaker 5: a half for lunch. And yeah, it was incredible the
Speaker 5: amount of work that people put into that stadium. I
Speaker 5: mean obviously for weeks leading up, but just even the
Speaker 5: last twenty four hours before the game just amazing. So yeah,
Speaker 5: definitely a huge team effort. But yeah, so that was
Speaker 5: all day Friday. We had an event there Friday night
Speaker 5: for some VIPs and that went really well, and then
Speaker 5: Saturday got their around twelve thirty, attended a tailgate party
Speaker 5: for a little bit, walked around the stadium, did the
Speaker 5: march to the match, helped out around the stadium with
Speaker 5: just some little things with people helping out, and then yeah,
Speaker 5: I went inside, enjoyed the game.
Speaker 1: And eighty seven eighty seven, this is Saturday.
Speaker 4: There is a Saturday Zeroso. I was thinking Open Cup.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we had, you know, huge chances to win
Speaker 5: the game. They had a couple of big chances that
Speaker 5: coldly made some stays. It was a good game. We
Speaker 5: were down a few starters against a very good team
Speaker 5: in San Antonio, so a draw going into the game
Speaker 5: I would have taken. I would have rather have been
Speaker 5: three to three than zero zero. But no, it was
Speaker 5: a it was a great, great day. And it absolutely
Speaker 5: downpoured in like the eighty eighth minute, eighty ninth minute,
Speaker 5: like a southern storm that rolled in for about five
Speaker 5: six minutes, just absolutely downpourd and the fans that stayed
Speaker 5: out and didn't go undercover, they got louder and they
Speaker 5: really enjoyed themselves, and then a nice rainbow came over
Speaker 5: and that's how the game finished. And we had a
Speaker 5: huge chance in like the ninety second, ninety third minute.
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's just a really really good day.
Speaker 1: And ten thousand and seven hundred at at the bank
Speaker 1: at you know these listed is listed in the official
Speaker 1: notes in the League as the stadium at Tidewater Landing,
Speaker 1: but the bank is now there. You mentioned all the
Speaker 1: little things this. I have this vision of you like
Speaker 1: chasing after things. It's like you're looking at paint and
Speaker 1: you're edging with paint with a toothbrush, and you've got
Speaker 1: the painter's tape out, you know, all these kinds of things.
Speaker 1: Am I far off here? It's like, what were you doing?
Speaker 1: What were you doing to make this happen?
Speaker 5: Sir? I had a a few different jobs on the day.
Speaker 5: One there were chairs that meant to be like on
Speaker 5: our four corners of the stadium we have loges and
Speaker 5: the chairs that belong in the lojes where some for
Speaker 5: some reason, like on ground level off to the side
Speaker 5: of the stadium. So all those chairs needed to get repositioned.
Speaker 5: We had to bring a one of those big beverage containers,
Speaker 5: you know, it's like a five foot beverage container thing.
Speaker 5: We had to bring that up into the press box
Speaker 5: trash here and there. I didn't pick up a paintbrush.
Speaker 5: That was good.
Speaker 1: Please tell me that there's video or pictures of you
Speaker 1: doing all this stuff.
Speaker 5: I hope not, I hope not, but just pitching it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 4: There was.
Speaker 5: There was a whole list of things on a big
Speaker 5: whiteboard that you know, the staff was constantly just crossing
Speaker 5: things off all day. And you know, our comms direct
Speaker 5: or sent me emails at like three point thirty in
Speaker 5: the morning on Thursday night, so you know him. You know,
Speaker 5: everybody was just working hours and hours to get this going.
Speaker 5: Incredible sounds.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you all crashed the second you got
Speaker 1: back to the to your respective rooms late Saturday night.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I got back to my house at like one
Speaker 5: o'clock in the morning on Sunday night, Monday morning, and
Speaker 5: you know, I was up with the kids at six
Speaker 5: and I was exhausted when they went to school. I crashed,
Speaker 5: So that was needed. I can't imagine those people that
Speaker 5: you know have been grinding and then you know, turn around,
Speaker 5: we had a rugby match on Sunday, we had to
Speaker 5: open Cup on Wednesday, We've got another game tomorrow. It's
Speaker 5: just crazy. First week at the stadium.
Speaker 1: Does it Does it feel like it was X number
Speaker 1: of years ago when you decided you were diving into
Speaker 1: this venture with Rhode Island f seat to carry it
Speaker 1: to this past week where you've had ten thousand and
Speaker 1: seven hundred, you had, you had the game with San Antonio,
Speaker 1: you had Open Cup, you've had rugby, you had all
Speaker 1: these things going into this venue. Does it seem like
Speaker 1: it was long ago? Or does it seem like it
Speaker 1: was yesterday? And you're like, damn all this happened all
Speaker 1: of a sudden.
Speaker 5: In just respect to this project, it seems it seems forever. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it seems long, just because there are so many ups
Speaker 5: and downs and so much bs along the way and
Speaker 5: red tape and like, oh my god, is this project
Speaker 5: going to die right here in front of us? But
Speaker 5: you know, when I think back to other things that
Speaker 5: have gone on five years ago, six years ago, I'm like, gosh,
Speaker 5: I can't believe it. Like my retirement, I'm like, jeez,
Speaker 5: I can't believe it was already that long, you know. So,
Speaker 5: But no, the project itself has seemed like a long
Speaker 5: long time just because of some of the stresses that
Speaker 5: have come along with it. But yeah, it's it's been incredible.
Speaker 5: And now my complete focus is a training ground.
Speaker 1: So I mean that's you know, I give somebody with
Speaker 1: a startup idea massive credit for trying to piece something
Speaker 1: like this together, having the idea to do it in
Speaker 1: the first place, and then you're going, yeah, let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and do it. And then all you really you
Speaker 1: realize that there's all of this work that goes into
Speaker 1: this idea of whatever that idea is that you're trying
Speaker 1: to germinate from, and then finally seeing that first step
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, that's a great first step, and
Speaker 1: then you got to dust off and it's like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: now the real work begins. We got to this point
Speaker 1: of the beginning, and now it's sustaining going from going
Speaker 1: from that moment.
Speaker 5: Forward totally totally, and we've said that to the staff,
Speaker 5: like this is amazing. But now, how do we take
Speaker 5: advantage of it? How do we turn people that just
Speaker 5: want to come to a game every now and then
Speaker 5: into fans who want to be at every game no
Speaker 5: matter the weather or the opponents or the time of
Speaker 5: year whatever. So that's the challenge now, and that's a
Speaker 5: great challenge. We should have almost a sold out stadium again.
Speaker 5: On Saturday, we basically sold it out against the Revs
Speaker 5: on Wednesday and that was fun and exciting and awesome
Speaker 5: opportunity and but yeah, it's it's yeah, it's never ending.
Speaker 5: So yeah, the training ground is definitely a big priority
Speaker 5: of mine.
Speaker 1: And where where are your schematics and all of your
Speaker 1: drawings and your to do list when it comes to
Speaker 1: the training ground. Where where's your notebook about? Okay, is
Speaker 1: this this, this?
Speaker 4: This?
Speaker 2: This?
Speaker 1: Does that hidden away? Well, where's your notebook on the
Speaker 1: training ground?
Speaker 5: Not even at that point yet, John, It's more big
Speaker 5: picture stuff. Does it have to be o z Land
Speaker 5: like an opportunity zone which affects taxes and all this
Speaker 5: other stuff?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 5: So does does it have to be that? Can we
Speaker 5: be outside of that getting partners and finding land and
Speaker 5: basically how big of a space do we need and
Speaker 5: who can partner with us? And you know, those types
Speaker 5: of things before I go in and say, okay, bare minimum,
Speaker 5: what do we need? Best case scenario? What do we want?
Speaker 5: You know? And thankfully we've got a very very very
Speaker 5: good team admin guy who's been around for a long time,
Speaker 5: so he could he could tell me what we need
Speaker 5: and want very quickly.
Speaker 1: All right, time to take the left turn and talk
Speaker 1: about what happens with at landy United and how we
Speaker 1: can apply that going forward. I know that we have
Speaker 1: we talked about quicksand a lot we talk about those
Speaker 1: kinds of things. How how much passive with everything going
Speaker 1: on in Rhode Island, how much passive interest to you know,
Speaker 1: looking at scores and things like that. Were you looking
Speaker 1: at with at Land United in Nashville last time out?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I didn't see the game, but I saw the highlights
Speaker 5: followed it a little bit to have read a little bit,
Speaker 5: and yeah, disappointing, especially in the second half where you
Speaker 5: know you're tied and it's a home game and we're struggling.
Speaker 5: You'd think that we would have been the aggressors and
Speaker 5: been on top. So to see that, you know, we
Speaker 5: were second best in the second half and you know,
Speaker 5: honestly fortunate to get a draw rather than you know,
Speaker 5: really unlucky that you know, and they've had a couple
Speaker 5: unlucky results during this run. But yeah, I think that
Speaker 5: was disappointing for sure.
Speaker 1: So when you have a when you have a lead
Speaker 1: and you're trying to not make mistakes and preserve that lead.
Speaker 1: With everything that has happened in recent history, when you're
Speaker 1: talking to your mentees about, you know, trying to preserve something.
Speaker 4: It's like, Okay, something good.
Speaker 1: Happened after a run of bad has happened, however you
Speaker 1: want to phrase bad something good happens, and trying to
Speaker 1: build off of a good thing after a run of
Speaker 1: bad things. When you have these conversations with your mentees,
Speaker 1: how do they respond about that moment, that one moment
Speaker 1: of good and you're trying to get them to build
Speaker 1: on it and trying not to be have them be
Speaker 1: afraid of that good moment, which I think at times
Speaker 1: sometimes during this run you might be afraid of success.
Speaker 1: Do you talk to your mentees about dealing with a
Speaker 1: success and not being afraid of it when you have
Speaker 1: that one moment?
Speaker 5: Yeah, totally. And even as you're talking, I'm thinking about
Speaker 5: injuries too. It's the same thing of not being afraid
Speaker 5: to be healthy, and that is a thing. Yeah, that's
Speaker 5: really tough because you know, when I'm thinking about it,
Speaker 5: I'm like at LENNI and Ida has never really been
Speaker 5: built to just win one zero, right, That's not the
Speaker 5: identity of the club. So I get that it's difficult
Speaker 5: when you haven't won and you get a lead to say, okay,
Speaker 5: can we just and win one.
Speaker 6: Zero, because man, I'd want them to have the approach
Speaker 6: of like, hey, we're playing at home, you know, with
Speaker 6: all due respect to an average Nashville team, like let's
Speaker 6: pound them.
Speaker 5: Let's set it and set the standard here, get back
Speaker 5: to it and win this game three zero. You know
Speaker 5: it's there for the taking. You know, Nashville obviously is
Speaker 5: a decent team, but no one's going to say that
Speaker 5: they're one of the best in MLS. And I know
Speaker 5: that they just put seven on Chicago the week before,
Speaker 5: so you know, it's probably not right for me to
Speaker 5: say that, but it's the truth, and you know, so, yeah,
Speaker 5: just unbelievably crazy right now they're in Atlanta. But as
Speaker 5: far as with mentees, yeah, you we definitely want them to, hey,
Speaker 5: focus on our positives and definitely to your point of
Speaker 5: not being afraid of success, because it takes a lot
Speaker 5: to have success and they put in a lot of
Speaker 5: work and so we want to celebrate those successes when
Speaker 5: we have them and know that you've earned them. These
Speaker 5: successes aren't lucky. But you're right, teams players can be
Speaker 5: scared of success and scared of health when they're not
Speaker 5: used to it.
Speaker 1: How do you get in your messaging and in the
Speaker 1: conversations that you have with Greg, how do you how
Speaker 1: do you guys sit there and kind of grab them
Speaker 1: into by the shoulders or whatever and point to the
Speaker 1: empirical evidence. It's like, look, you can do this, We've
Speaker 1: seen it. I know that with peer pressure and a
Speaker 1: lot of things that you know that are environmental, it
Speaker 1: sometimes is really difficult to push through and accept that
Speaker 1: first good moment and sit there and it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: we can add to it. You know, how do you
Speaker 1: how do you impress upon a mentee? You know, it's like, look,
Speaker 1: you've done this. How difficult is it to impress upon
Speaker 1: a men tea to build on success these days? Because
Speaker 1: you know, the whole put some dirt on it, rub
Speaker 1: it and get back out their generation. That's you know,
Speaker 1: that's when I was in school back in the late
Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds. But I would imagine it's different. But when
Speaker 1: you have these kinds of conversations, what are they like about,
Speaker 1: you know, perseverance and pushing through?
Speaker 5: Yeah, we say, you know, if if it seems too big,
Speaker 5: you know, then the first step just needs to be smaller. Yeah, right,
Speaker 5: take a small win, right to take a take a
Speaker 5: good half and be happy with that and then start
Speaker 5: again fresh second half. Okay, get a win the second half,
Speaker 5: you know that type of thing when when and if
Speaker 5: you're somebody that get subbed in summed oubt, like, just
Speaker 5: win that time period that you're on the field, right,
Speaker 5: feel good about that win, reset, and go win the
Speaker 5: next one when you're out there, right, So we just
Speaker 5: try and chunk it a little bit to try and build.
Speaker 5: Like you said, build upon successes is definitely an easy
Speaker 5: way to gain confidence and to grow into it. So
Speaker 5: helping them just reframe of what is a win and
Speaker 5: how can I feel good about myself? Because those things
Speaker 5: can change right from player to player and within a game,
Speaker 5: those goalposts are always changing. And you know, if we
Speaker 5: need small wins, we can create small wins to feel
Speaker 5: good about that, to build up and hopefully build upon
Speaker 5: bigger wins.
Speaker 1: How difficult is it to have them focus on a
Speaker 1: small win because I know that they want to focus
Speaker 1: on the big picture and the finish line and all
Speaker 1: these things. You know, it's like, okay, we gotta lead
Speaker 1: and you know, winning and all this kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: But sometimes sequential is the best way to go about it.
Speaker 1: But I know that we're all into the instant gratification
Speaker 1: these days, and it's like the quick result, and it's
Speaker 1: like focusing on the end instead of focusing on everything
Speaker 1: in the middle to get to the end.
Speaker 4: Is it? How different is it to sit there.
Speaker 1: And remind them about the small stuff to get to
Speaker 1: the larger stuff when we all want to jump to
Speaker 1: the end of the book find out who committed the
Speaker 1: murder anyway.
Speaker 5: For sure. And what we try and tell them is,
Speaker 5: you know, if you start a big picture season, right,
Speaker 5: it's all a bunch of smaller games. And a game
Speaker 5: is all a bunch of smaller moments. So these small
Speaker 5: moments matter. Every small moment within a game dictates how
Speaker 5: the game goes from there on out. And so yeah,
Speaker 5: we want to win our little moments. And you know,
Speaker 5: every moment doesn't necessarily mean a winner or loss, obviously,
Speaker 5: but they can be small things that we can build
Speaker 5: upon and they set the tone for the game. And
Speaker 5: so yeah, you know, and we also talk about we
Speaker 5: can separate team performance from the individual performance, right, So okay,
Speaker 5: focus on the individual performance here for a minute, and
Speaker 5: win your battles, do what you need to do, and
Speaker 5: if everybody on the team is doing that, the team
Speaker 5: is going to be able to do that as a group. Now,
Speaker 5: of course, there's times where okay, we need to focus
Speaker 5: on the team and what's best for the team, and
Speaker 5: you know as far as like oh do I need
Speaker 5: to pass this ball or shoot this ball, or do
Speaker 5: I go for my hat trick? Or do I play
Speaker 5: like a good teammate and things like that, But those
Speaker 5: are you know, different times, and you know more of
Speaker 5: the time we have to say, okay, how can I
Speaker 5: help my team? What are the small wins that I
Speaker 5: can create? Because again, small moments that's what leads to
Speaker 5: big moments.
Speaker 1: How difficult is it to separate being afraid to fail
Speaker 1: and understanding that failures can lead to successes because I
Speaker 1: know at times they seem like there are one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty degrees from each other, but I think that
Speaker 1: there are times when they can blend and you can
Speaker 1: learn from one to the other. How do you get
Speaker 1: them to understand that there's a blend here, that bad
Speaker 1: can lead to good. Instead of having the bad way
Speaker 1: you down and turn it into more things that could
Speaker 1: be bad.
Speaker 5: It's tough. That's one of the toughest things. And what
Speaker 5: makes it even tougher is parents on the sideline freaking
Speaker 5: out out over every play and over every loss and everything,
Speaker 5: because then the kids are picking up on that, saying, well,
Speaker 5: losing is so bad. And yeah, of course we want
Speaker 5: to breed some competitiveness and the desire to win, for sure,
Speaker 5: But no doubt, you can't have success without losing. And
Speaker 5: we say athletes, they lose the most out of any
Speaker 5: person and job out there.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 5: If a person that didn't have an athletic job lost
Speaker 5: and didn't have success as much as an athlete did,
Speaker 5: they'd get fired, they'd lose their job. But we as
Speaker 5: athletes can lose, and we lose a lot, and you're
Speaker 5: going to lose a lot, and that's going to happen.
Speaker 5: And so how can you learn from it? How can
Speaker 5: you get better from it? Right? Is it poor me?
Speaker 5: Why me? It's not my fault, coach's fault? This that right?
Speaker 5: Or do you take ownership? And if you can ownership
Speaker 5: of things and grow from it, you'll lose a lot
Speaker 5: less in the long run.
Speaker 1: Michael Parker is hanging out with us here at m
Speaker 1: F Parker's on the two hundred nighty character app at
Speaker 1: BG mentoring on said two hundred and eighty character app
Speaker 1: beyond Girls Entering dot Com here on the Friday Free Kick.
Speaker 1: You know, when you discuss failure and being in a
Speaker 1: funk and snapping out of it and all these kinds
Speaker 1: of things, I would imagine, I mean you mentioned failure
Speaker 1: and athletes. I mean what Tony Gwinn was a failure
Speaker 1: seventy percent of the time, and he's a Hall of Famer,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's I don't think that folks may
Speaker 1: necessarily look at it that way. Yeah, Tony Gwenn, he
Speaker 1: was a career, you know, three thirty five hitter, he
Speaker 1: failed two out of three times, and he's one of
Speaker 1: the best that ever performed in his sport. When you
Speaker 1: got into a funk as a as a professional athlete,
Speaker 1: how did you shake yourself out of it? And do
Speaker 1: you get to apply those same kinds of principles today
Speaker 1: as a mentor to the next generation to get them
Speaker 1: out of funds?
Speaker 5: Yeah, getting into funks is challenging and sometimes it can
Speaker 5: happen quick for whatever reason. And you know, for me,
Speaker 5: there were definitely some moments where I just felt like
Speaker 5: I wasn't playing great, was I playing terrible? Like no,
Speaker 5: I wasn't playing terrible game in and game out, But
Speaker 5: you know, there were moments and runs where it was like, man,
Speaker 5: I'm just not playing up to the standard and that,
Speaker 5: or it was like every mistake I'm making right now
Speaker 5: is leading to a goal Versus when things are going well,
Speaker 5: as a defender, you could trip over the ball and
Speaker 5: give the guy a breakaway and he shanks it or
Speaker 5: the goalie saves it or whatever. But when things aren't
Speaker 5: going well, you make one half bad pass, they pick
Speaker 5: it off, one pass in the back of the net.
Speaker 5: And it just seems like there's moments and there's runs
Speaker 5: that you go on and that happens. I don't know why,
Speaker 5: it's just the way it is, and really nothing can
Speaker 5: get you out of it other than staying the course
Speaker 5: and continuing to show up at practice and do the
Speaker 5: small things, and you know, get back to enjoying the game,
Speaker 5: because when you're in these moments, it's easy not to
Speaker 5: enjoy it and just complain about anything and everything. But
Speaker 5: that becomes really contagious within the locker room that I've seen.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I hope that the environment at Elani and
Speaker 5: Aida right now is not that and maybe that's why
Speaker 5: they brought the therapy dogs in the other day.
Speaker 1: Hey, look, I mean you know what Deacon does for
Speaker 1: you inside the Parkhurst household?
Speaker 5: Am I right? Sure do?
Speaker 4: Uh huh.
Speaker 1: So it's like Deacon's the boss or a boss b
Speaker 1: and it's like it's the whole there you go. I
Speaker 1: don't think Deacon has moved since the last time we talked,
Speaker 1: but I And that's the thing. It's like, you know
Speaker 1: when you are when you're surrounded by or when negative
Speaker 1: energy is around you. I think that. So then let
Speaker 1: me ask this. We know what negative energy can be.
Speaker 1: What is more contagious these days in the conversations that
Speaker 1: you have with your mentees, negative energy spreading or positive
Speaker 1: energy spreading.
Speaker 5: Well, it's proven that negativity spreads a lot faster than positivity. Okay,
Speaker 5: so that has the power to be more contagious, much
Speaker 5: more easily. But positivity can also affect other people and
Speaker 5: be contagious, no doubt about it. It's just that that's
Speaker 5: why it says, you know, one bad apple, right, and
Speaker 5: one bad apple can really affect quickly group a lot
Speaker 5: faster than one positive person can bring positivity with them
Speaker 5: throughout a whole group. So that's that's a challenge, and
Speaker 5: that's why you try not to have too many of
Speaker 5: those guys around. Yeah, but speaking of that, I really
Speaker 5: like the question Emilio put out there when we're talking
Speaker 5: about positivity, because you know, he asks about a home crowd,
Speaker 5: can it be too much at times and cause anxiety?
Speaker 5: It's not a stupid question at all, because I literally
Speaker 5: think that's what's going on in Manchester United and when
Speaker 5: I watch them play and I hear the crowd, and
Speaker 5: you know, especially when you see Anthony do so poorly
Speaker 5: for Manchester United leave and then all of a sudden
Speaker 5: go back to the player he was at where it
Speaker 5: was PSV, you know now that he's in Spain. And
Speaker 5: I definitely definitely think a home crowd can play a
Speaker 5: factor in this. And I'm not blaming a home crowd.
Speaker 5: I think players need to be able to stand up
Speaker 5: and put their shoulders up and you know, stick their
Speaker 5: chest out and bring it on and really rise above it.
Speaker 5: But you know, you don't want to disappoint a crowd,
Speaker 5: and you know that, oh shoot, if we don't play well,
Speaker 5: they might boo us, and you know, they have high
Speaker 5: expectations and so that's why sometimes teams play a little
Speaker 5: bit better on the road where they don't have the
Speaker 5: pressure of needing to win or expecting to win in
Speaker 5: front of their home crowd. So, yeah, it's tough, but
Speaker 5: every player would rather have a huge home crowd than not,
Speaker 5: so they need to be able to deal with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you look at the idea of We've been
Speaker 1: talking with Greg, and Greg has been mentioning about competitive
Speaker 1: stress and things like that. I would think that competitive
Speaker 1: stress is multiplied at home, especially as things are not
Speaker 1: going well and everybody talks about, you know, hey, getting
Speaker 1: away from home, and it might be you know, something
Speaker 1: to to flip the switch and have you go the
Speaker 1: other way when it comes to you know, competitive stress
Speaker 1: and in a in a home arena environment, did you
Speaker 1: want to break did you want to get off the
Speaker 1: schneid more at home or just get off the schnid
Speaker 1: wherever it happened and then build on it from there.
Speaker 1: Did it mean more when you when you snap a streak,
Speaker 1: you know, personally at home or just whenever I did it,
Speaker 1: I did it and then the build out it from there.
Speaker 5: It didn't matter didn't matter at all home or away,
Speaker 5: you know, own goal or five zero performance, literally take whatever. Honestly,
Speaker 5: sometimes I think it a little bit more away from
Speaker 5: home because it's tougher to win away from home, and
Speaker 5: sometimes I can bond a group a little bit, right,
Speaker 5: and then usually the next games at home, Okay, can
Speaker 5: we build on this versus you know, you're supposed to
Speaker 5: win your home games, especially against most teams. Right. There's
Speaker 5: very few teams in MLS where they come into the
Speaker 5: benz and you're like, we might not win this one. Yeah, right,
Speaker 5: But most teams that come in you you expect to win.
Speaker 5: So that's where the expectations can lead to more pressure
Speaker 5: and more stress.
Speaker 1: Nothing like all all right, So let me go with
Speaker 1: Dell here. What was the What was the favorite time
Speaker 1: of day to play matches?
Speaker 4: Or midday?
Speaker 5: I disliked the most A one pm game.
Speaker 4: The first one out of the blocks, uh huh.
Speaker 5: Uh huh or earlier, and those those were rare usually
Speaker 5: for some reason, Canadians like those, so every now and
Speaker 5: then we had them. And the reason why I disliked
Speaker 5: it the most is because your pregame meal you're having
Speaker 5: at like eight o'clock or nine o'clock in the morning,
Speaker 5: and it's just weird. You know, You're used to having
Speaker 5: you know, chicken and pasta and that type of stuff,
Speaker 5: and so then all of a sudden, you know, are
Speaker 5: you waking up at six o'clock to have breakfast so
Speaker 5: then you can have a normal pregame meal or you're
Speaker 5: just having one meal. You know, it's weird. So I
Speaker 5: really disliked anything before like three o'clock. That said, I
Speaker 5: really like like anywhere between a four and a six
Speaker 5: pm kickoff most of the time.
Speaker 4: Most of the time, he says.
Speaker 5: It gets there's different factors that go into it, because
Speaker 5: I love the early kickoff because a seven thirty game,
Speaker 5: it's really difficult after the game to eat, you know,
Speaker 5: hydrate and get a good, nice sleep. It's very very
Speaker 5: difficult home or away, and so that was a challenge always.
Speaker 5: But if it's hot out, I'd rather kick off at
Speaker 5: nine pm. I don't care. Yeah, you know, so you know,
Speaker 5: if you're playing in Orlando basically anytime of year, seven
Speaker 5: thirty great, But if you're playing at the Bends, yeah,
Speaker 5: give me a nice five o'clock kickoff.
Speaker 1: Perfect, And so Dell kind of answers that it brings
Speaker 1: another question in that would kind of relate to your
Speaker 1: time there in Rhode Island and getting tied water landing
Speaker 1: off of running Genius sleep. But all after an intense game.
Speaker 5: It's tough, especially in the late game, right. You just
Speaker 5: you get on this high and it's very difficult to
Speaker 5: come back down after the game, right, So yeah, there's
Speaker 5: it's not uncommon for guys to be up until like one, two,
Speaker 5: three o'clock in the morning after a game, just because
Speaker 5: you're wired and you just can't. You just can't rest, right,
Speaker 5: You're physically tired, but the brain won't shut off of
Speaker 5: the mind, and you know, it's difficult. So yeah, it's tough.
Speaker 1: So after you got to move chairs and move drink
Speaker 1: machines and everything, and the match againt San Antonio. Did
Speaker 1: you crash immediately or were you still up until two
Speaker 1: or three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 5: No, I mean it was a four thirty game. So
Speaker 5: I went out to dinner with some people afterwards, and
Speaker 5: you know, we actually called it. I was expecting maybe
Speaker 5: we'd have a kind of a rowdy night, but everyone
Speaker 5: was so tired that I was asleep by ten thirty.
Speaker 5: I think I ye.
Speaker 1: That does not surprise me one bit because everything that
Speaker 1: you've invested to that particular point makes perfect sense. Okay,
Speaker 1: last time you were on, we had a guest collision,
Speaker 1: and so I have another guest collision, and it is
Speaker 1: time to bring in, uh, someone that you that you
Speaker 1: may know. And as we start our number two, we
Speaker 1: bring in Ozzi Alonzo to the show. And so, Ozzie Parky, Parky, Ozzie, and.
Speaker 2: Are you good? Man?
Speaker 5: Everyone's doing really well. How about yours? Are you living
Speaker 5: down in Atlanta?
Speaker 2: Still? I still hear? Ye?
Speaker 5: Okay, fantastic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nice to see you man.
Speaker 1: And so, uh, Michael Parkers, your question for Ozzie Alonzo
Speaker 1: now that he is on this side of the camera,
Speaker 1: what is your first question for Asie Alonso on A
Speaker 1: on A on a Freestyle Friday.
Speaker 5: I'll ask the same question I did Brad Bradley, Right, Philip, So,
Speaker 5: what's the toughest part of your new job, right of
Speaker 5: being on the other side in front of the camera
Speaker 5: and working games and things like, what's the toughest part
Speaker 5: of that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 7: It is different hard, you know, being decided talking about
Speaker 7: the gang. But the more difficult part for me was
Speaker 7: like the camera, you know, talking on time, you know,
Speaker 7: but there they're moving, but everything else. Talking about the
Speaker 7: gang is more easy. But the comera when they're talking
Speaker 7: in the in the are.
Speaker 5: Just distracting. What about what about this? I think I
Speaker 5: would have trouble doing this a little bit. Guys that
Speaker 5: you know, guys that you played with whatever, and they
Speaker 5: don't have a good game or they don't have a
Speaker 5: good performance. Is it difficult to point those things out?
Speaker 2: And that's when I say, yeah, it's high.
Speaker 7: When you play with some guy and you play for
Speaker 7: many gay and he's a friend of you, and you
Speaker 7: want to say something, you have to be careful, you know,
Speaker 7: because you were there, you play the gay and you
Speaker 7: know sometime you make a mistake and you don't want
Speaker 7: to hear somebody like saying something about you. But yeah,
Speaker 7: we tried to, you know, like say something like Globo
Speaker 7: not to hurt the guy. But yeah, sometimes you have
Speaker 7: to say it because if you see something, you have to.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's part of the job.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So as we bid at you to
Speaker 1: Deacon and Michael Parkhurst, what's the latest beyond goals entering, sir.
Speaker 5: I got to jump over to a marketing call with
Speaker 5: Beyond Goals right now. Now we're getting things prepared for
Speaker 5: the summer, doing some different things around summertime with the
Speaker 5: kids and gearing up for a Thanksgiving camp, So getting
Speaker 5: things prepared for that.
Speaker 1: As always, my friend, great to see when you can
Speaker 1: hop on with us at nine thirty on Friday morning,
Speaker 1: We're going to spend time with us Valdo Alonso and
Speaker 1: find out about TV analysts as Volde Alonzo.

Speaker 7: seeing them ls from the other side of the field.
Speaker 7: I'm you know, I'm kind of like, I'm excited to
Speaker 7: be doing this for the leak for.
Speaker 1: Me, And you mentioned one of the most most difficult
Speaker 1: aspects of being on this side of the camera where
Speaker 1: you have to you have to kind of cut your
Speaker 1: head in half and listen to the folks behind the
Speaker 1: camera with one ear and listen to what's going on
Speaker 1: in studio with the other ear. Are you still trying
Speaker 1: to cut your head in half? If you kind of
Speaker 1: gotten used to the half conversations? Where is your head
Speaker 1: right now?
Speaker 7: In the beginning was very, very difficult, But right now
Speaker 7: I'm gonna get used to and now I forget about
Speaker 7: anything else. I focus on what I do. When they
Speaker 7: talk to me, I hear, but I can keep doing
Speaker 7: my speech. And you know, it's been great so far.
Speaker 7: It's been good. I improve every day. I feel more
Speaker 7: confident right now, So I'm very excited to do this
Speaker 7: and to be right now.
Speaker 4: Stretch, Stretch Outsie, stretch, We need you to start. Yeah, literally,
Speaker 4: don't do it. Yeah, yeah, rap, how's he cut? Stop?
Speaker 4: Rap stop exactly?
Speaker 2: Talk don't talk?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: Was this something that you'd always wanted to do when
Speaker 1: your playing career was over, to head into the TV
Speaker 1: side and the analyst side of things, To.
Speaker 7: Be honest, No, it's something like come out. I'm very
Speaker 7: open to any opportunity you like keptain Cuba. You know
Speaker 7: a lot of hope in this country, and when I
Speaker 7: fit in my career, they coming to do this this
Speaker 7: job and least in the in the studio in Spanish
Speaker 7: size I said, yeah, it's talking about the game.
Speaker 2: I know it's going to be difficult in the beginning, but.
Speaker 7: You know he's talking about the game that I know
Speaker 7: the lead that I play for many years. So I
Speaker 7: take like serious and you know, I'm very very excited
Speaker 7: to do and that I did not have this telling
Speaker 7: in my in my background, so I'm very happy to
Speaker 7: be there.
Speaker 1: And because you know, you never know when you're gonna
Speaker 1: get called in to sit there and it's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we need you to play up top today and that's
Speaker 1: what you're.
Speaker 4: Doing right now. On the exactly the TV side of things.
Speaker 1: I do want to talk about it Landing United specifically,
Speaker 1: I do have an Atlanta nighted two.
Speaker 4: Questions for you.
Speaker 1: Okay, as we go here, but as we are one
Speaker 1: third of the way through the season, and I asked
Speaker 1: this question and Bradley Wright Phillips when he was on
Speaker 1: with us, we have the good, the bad, and the
Speaker 1: ugly from the first third of the season. Let's take
Speaker 1: it one character at a time and you can go
Speaker 1: wherever you want, either the good, the bad or the ugly.
Speaker 1: Which category would you choose to talk about first?
Speaker 4: And who's in it?
Speaker 2: They're good?
Speaker 4: All right? So who's your good? So far? At one
Speaker 4: third done?
Speaker 2: I think I'll middum.
Speaker 7: Lati la. They are good. I think May is doing good.
Speaker 7: Playing outside of the field. It is difficult for him,
Speaker 7: in my opinion. When you move him to the middle,
Speaker 7: he got more chance, he came more opportunity. He can
Speaker 7: combine more with that a lot. But when we play
Speaker 7: outside of the field, it's difficult for him because it
Speaker 7: tends to go inside together optunity and leave a spade
Speaker 7: in the size.
Speaker 2: So I think it's the good part of the thing.
Speaker 2: The bad part is the difference.
Speaker 7: In my opinion, sometimes you have to be more nasty,
Speaker 7: more aggressive, more commitment. I don't see a leader chip
Speaker 7: in the back line exact Brad back the songs there,
Speaker 7: But we need somebody in the field like step up
Speaker 7: the leader for the team. I say, let's go, guys,
Speaker 7: come on, we're losing, no prowling. We have to score
Speaker 7: one goal, no prowling. I don't see that guy. He's there,
Speaker 7: but I don't see that guy like showing up on
Speaker 7: the field.
Speaker 1: And when you have when you have a teammate get
Speaker 1: hip checked, plowed through, whatever, and you want your teammates
Speaker 1: to jump into that pile. You want to stick You
Speaker 1: want to stick up for your teammates. You want to
Speaker 1: stand up for your teammates. How do you in a
Speaker 1: locker room tell your teammates you know, dude, we need
Speaker 1: to step up for each other here. When when that
Speaker 1: needs to happen? What are those conversations like in the
Speaker 1: locker room. I need you to stand up with me
Speaker 1: to help out against these kinds of opponents that are
Speaker 1: playing kind of rough and we're not getting calls.
Speaker 7: Yeah, first of all, to say down in the locker room,
Speaker 7: you have to chew in the field. You have to
Speaker 7: live by something. When you live by some point the game,
Speaker 7: you got the freedom to say in the locker room,
Speaker 7: you have the spring guy, the guy like play good,
Speaker 7: your main guy like you go close to him and say, hey, guys,
Speaker 7: you got to do this one. Because if for the
Speaker 7: team we need a cohesion, we don't. We don't have
Speaker 7: any commosion right now. The thing looks like separate. Like
Speaker 7: you see people don't talk in the field.
Speaker 2: I don't see the union in the field.
Speaker 7: It's difficult when you know how that conao with the
Speaker 7: play and you have to stick together talk. The season
Speaker 7: is youngest to MLS two. Three game you win them,
Speaker 7: you jump to the playoff spot. So I think you
Speaker 7: ought to be more focused commitment to a team.
Speaker 1: You know they have time and when you look at
Speaker 1: obviously with Atlanta United, there's a lot of promise there
Speaker 1: from from your perspective with it with a lot of
Speaker 1: time left in the season. You get on a good run,
Speaker 1: You've got three games in a week at points, you
Speaker 1: sit there and you win two of those three, you
Speaker 1: get seven points, you're in the playoff picture. These kinds
Speaker 1: of things, How difficult is it for an athlete in
Speaker 1: Major League Soccer to navigate and to work through three
Speaker 1: matches in a week to go weekend, midweek weekend. How
Speaker 1: hard is that these days? In Major League Soccer?
Speaker 2: It's pretty hard.
Speaker 7: But when you're young, do you have the energy you
Speaker 7: can play three game easy? You have to prepare mentally
Speaker 7: with that schedule, you have to play Saturday winter Saturday.
Speaker 7: But we got the result, we got a trending with
Speaker 7: that facility to play Saturday Saturday.
Speaker 2: I'm performing at high level.
Speaker 7: I think every player now when we play that type
Speaker 7: of tight game and difficult game. You have to travel,
Speaker 7: play Wednesday, come back, play at home. But people, people prepare,
Speaker 7: you know, k you can do it. You capable to
Speaker 7: do it because we have everything to perform every single game,
Speaker 7: every single weekend in the field.
Speaker 1: Also studio analysts the last season passed on Apple TV,
Speaker 1: Spanish studio team La Previa MLS three sixty l resum
Speaker 1: and hanging out with us here on a freestyle Friday
Speaker 1: on SDH a.
Speaker 4: M for teams.
Speaker 1: When when you look at the teams so far this
Speaker 1: season in Major League Soccer, who has surprised you on
Speaker 1: the field so far this year?
Speaker 4: Wow?
Speaker 7: Bankoby Definitely. Banko has has been great. I think the
Speaker 7: stents on the coach is doing fantastic, great job. He
Speaker 7: made the team play together and you can see every weekend,
Speaker 7: every week, every week they're doing so good.
Speaker 2: They're playing the high level. Then the final Concacas champion
Speaker 2: cape first place in the West.
Speaker 7: So the midfie the differense the forward. You can see
Speaker 7: they play as a family. The cohesion of the thing.
Speaker 7: I think there's a primer lad to be honest.
Speaker 4: Then what about La Galaxy with their start at three.
Speaker 2: In the other side. Yeah, the difference the champion will less.
Speaker 2: It's hard. They lost last game with City without receiving
Speaker 2: any shot on goal.
Speaker 7: It's unbelievable. I think missing Riggy Push it's hard for them,
Speaker 7: but for me also losing Joeylis it's difficult too because
Speaker 7: they are the four kind of forward that he cleared
Speaker 7: the own chance. Sometimes you need that forward like throng
Speaker 7: behind or make that play, and right now they don't
Speaker 7: have it.
Speaker 2: I think Raes and.
Speaker 7: Nearly Berry I don't see that that type of forward
Speaker 7: like they can clear a chance, they can take one
Speaker 7: by one. The different they're more like in the middle,
Speaker 7: whatever the cross or good pass. But I think they're
Speaker 7: missing Ricky Push definitely.
Speaker 2: Yoga wish yo.
Speaker 4: And you sold it. And you sold him to Kansas City.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you're hoping that Diego Fordez, Christian Ramirez, Miguel Berry,
Speaker 1: they can help step up and be the substitutes there
Speaker 1: and that hasn't come out. And Marco Royce. You're hoping
Speaker 1: that those folks can step in and they haven't yet.
Speaker 1: And I know that a lot of folks in LA
Speaker 1: who are fans of the Galaxy are anxious about that.
Speaker 1: Who is your if you if you cast a ballot
Speaker 1: right now, who would be your most valuable player in
Speaker 1: Major League Soccer one third of the way through the season?
Speaker 2: Difficult? Can I Can I name two? Play it?
Speaker 4: You can't. Hey, it's your ballad. You do whatever you want.
Speaker 2: So I want to call it a peral bete.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been great.
Speaker 7: Is different His kill, war, ethic e, commitment of the
Speaker 7: team of Vancouver has been great.
Speaker 2: It's been from Bancouver.
Speaker 7: I'm the other player, I said Devo Rossi's been amazing.
Speaker 7: From Columbus they lost Nande, They've been playing amazing. They
Speaker 7: keep the philosophy of the team, keep the board, and
Speaker 7: he takes the to be the guy. He scored go
Speaker 7: as you know for me, the other two for now
Speaker 7: so far MVP.
Speaker 2: The league.
Speaker 1: And then you bring in somebody like Daniel Gozdog from
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and you buy him to help out what's going
Speaker 1: on with Columbus.
Speaker 4: Hey, we're not scoring goals? What do we do?
Speaker 1: Well, why don't we buy Daniel Gozdog from Philly. Philly's
Speaker 1: like okay, cool, and we're just gonna take the money
Speaker 1: and you know, stuff it under the cushions in the
Speaker 1: bed and not do anything with it. Atlanta United, So
Speaker 1: with what happened with Nashville, with the run of form
Speaker 1: that they've had, they get the lead and then the
Speaker 1: rest of the match Nashville's dominating. You know that that
Speaker 1: goal is going to happen because they have possession like
Speaker 1: seventy percent of the time. After the thirtieth minute, the
Speaker 1: equalizer comes. When you had teams that were having poor
Speaker 1: runs of form, but you knew you could do better.
Speaker 1: How difficult was it to push through the bad and
Speaker 1: get back to the good. How hard is that for
Speaker 1: a professional athlete?
Speaker 7: It's hard, but only take one victory. I think I
Speaker 7: don't have to find a way, no matter how that,
Speaker 7: to win a game. To get the player more company
Speaker 7: to the coach, more company, because they play good for moment.
Speaker 7: I think against Nashville they have a good first half.
Speaker 7: The second half they're more slappy, like I don't see
Speaker 7: that desire to win. The end they cross down the game,
Speaker 7: I think, but make a great safe to save them
Speaker 7: in the bags. So I think winning one game is
Speaker 7: going to give them the next step to kick climbing
Speaker 7: the standing.
Speaker 1: And we do have folks that are watching and commenting
Speaker 1: as we go here, and we do have some folks
Speaker 1: in Charleston who are watching, and they wanted to know
Speaker 1: what you think about the current Charleston Battery team and
Speaker 1: the ownership and the stadium at Patriots Point. What do
Speaker 1: you think about what's going on in Charleston right now?
Speaker 1: How much do you keep in touch with that?
Speaker 7: To be honest, I haven't been in touch with them
Speaker 7: really much. But the only thing I can say is
Speaker 7: Charlton is the city the team that give me up
Speaker 7: between two playing in the United States was the bridge
Speaker 7: to join MLS, and I'm very proud to be part
Speaker 7: of or that thing in in the moment.
Speaker 2: The only thing I said, I don't follow the thing much.
Speaker 2: You know, I always wish the best for them.
Speaker 4: Because you know, you're kind of busy doing stuff.
Speaker 7: Yeah, really busy with them L three six it's different. Yeah,
Speaker 7: the MLAs study.
Speaker 4: How much how much studying do you have to do? Now?
Speaker 1: How many games do you watch before you get in
Speaker 1: the studio where you have all of the games happening
Speaker 1: in front of you. What's what's study hall like for
Speaker 1: you these weeks?
Speaker 4: Yeah? A lot.
Speaker 7: We had to start the whole game with a lot
Speaker 7: of game watching Hallai standing with the best player, make
Speaker 7: a mistake? What is the reg of the team, And
Speaker 7: it's a lot of thing MLS, So we had to
Speaker 7: keep an eye in everything respect. So in the weekend,
Speaker 7: you have to do my resource well watching Hallai go
Speaker 7: inside a lot of up looking for numbers and I
Speaker 7: when I had to say something, you had to be right.
Speaker 2: You had to have precisely.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you if I had you get a get
Speaker 1: a credential to to walk into the Atlanta United locker
Speaker 1: room before this match up against Chicago this weekend. What
Speaker 1: would you tell them heading into that match up against Chicago.
Speaker 7: Yeah, First I want to say, guys, forget about anything
Speaker 7: to happen in the past, passes past.
Speaker 2: You can do nothing. The only thing we can do
Speaker 2: is today against Chicago? Tough thing. You got to perform.
Speaker 7: We got to be a thing that we are because
Speaker 7: we had the talent, we had the play, we had
Speaker 7: the quality. The only thing we have to do is
Speaker 7: perform and win the game.
Speaker 4: Sounds pretty solid. I like that idea. Uh so.
Speaker 1: My my last question for you is is is kind
Speaker 1: of like a gear question and Atlanta United two question.
Speaker 1: I will say this, when you when you had when
Speaker 1: you uh you had your rehab assignment with it Landy
Speaker 1: United two, and you had one of the coolest jersey
Speaker 1: numbers I've ever seen. You were in the eighties wearing
Speaker 1: a number for it Landy United two, and I'm sitting
Speaker 1: there going, man, they need to sell that because I'd
Speaker 1: be the first one buying it and hanging it in
Speaker 1: my studio space. Are you the kind of guy that
Speaker 1: keeps your jerseys from all your different stops? Do you
Speaker 1: have them all in frames someplace off camera?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I have this jersey.
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, I used the eighty five because yeah, like
Speaker 7: you say, I was saying my rehab from my a
Speaker 7: c L injury. Yeah, so combat I want to I
Speaker 7: want to wear, but then was taking for somebody else,
Speaker 7: So I say, let me take the eighty fight the
Speaker 7: y I bought, so like I.

Speaker 1: like I tell everybody that drops in, you got the
Speaker 1: keys to the king, come on in, we'll talk. Doesn't
Speaker 1: matter what day of the week it is. If it's
Speaker 1: an open slot, you know, just let us know. But
Speaker 1: once again thanks to Kirk Reynolds at the League office
Speaker 1: for helping facilitate those kinds of things and get us
Speaker 1: all squared away with everything going on here on the planet.
Speaker 1: All right, let's say hot everybody and get through all
Speaker 1: of the promos and everything else that's going on.
Speaker 4: Happy Friday.
Speaker 1: David Morning, Alex Morning, Abby Morning, Ricky Ricardo Chili tomorrow
Speaker 1: for the match sixty at kickoff.
Speaker 4: Well, and you've also got.
Speaker 1: The winds blowing off of the lake into the spaceship,
Speaker 1: so anything is humanly possible. So Abby, we will get
Speaker 1: into high school soccer what happened last night and get
Speaker 1: you set up for today.
Speaker 4: We'll get into that. Yeah, I know. Ricky's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: Leo the fourteenth might get him a Pope bump. But
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Was he a fire fan. All the confusion about him apparently, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a Cubs fan.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: Brother came out and said, no, he's a Socks fan.
Speaker 1: Mom was a Cubs fan. He's a Socks fan. So
Speaker 1: maybe he is. He is a tortured sports soul. And
Speaker 1: with the time that he spent in Peru and the US,
Speaker 1: Jared had him. You know, it's like, look and Nick
Speaker 1: is like, look, we get comb the ball all over
Speaker 1: the place now. So spent time in Peru, spent time
Speaker 1: in the US. You've got you have a condo ball
Speaker 1: influenced Pope. That's what you're getting at. Uh So let's
Speaker 1: see Abby and Ricky. Oh, Ricky has found out that
Speaker 1: he's going to be a part of the pre match ceremonies.
Speaker 4: Very very cool. That's awesome.
Speaker 1: Take the flag home with you or like the the
Speaker 1: you know, if they give you one of those shiny
Speaker 1: pieces of floppy metal that you have to sit there
Speaker 1: and wave in the stands like that. Or yeah, if
Speaker 1: you get like the big banner, you get the big
Speaker 1: flag that you can plant in your backyard maybe do
Speaker 1: something like that, or take it and string it across
Speaker 1: like your office something like that. Make sure that you
Speaker 1: make sure that you can take a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: home and free and uh yes, show and tell. Yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely need a day post Club World Cup where I
Speaker 1: let everybody show and tell their experience.
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I like that idea. We need to do it
Speaker 4: after the Club World Cup.
Speaker 1: We need to have one of our public gatherings where
Speaker 1: everybody can just kind of bring stuff and we just
Speaker 1: kind of have everyone assembly line. Here's what happened to me.
Speaker 1: Here's what happened to me. Here's what happened to me.
Speaker 1: So Club World Cup. Let's see. So, yes, I'll be
Speaker 1: most Poppa. Absolutely true, Amelia, that is absolutely true.
Speaker 4: All right, So let's see.
Speaker 1: Yep Aston Villa Newcastle in August in Nashville, morning, David.
Speaker 4: Let's see morning Evan.
Speaker 1: Uh been a while, and so Evan, Evan, thanks for
Speaker 1: asking about that, because I think that was why Parky
Speaker 1: was talking about all the infrastructure and everything because of
Speaker 1: that question there, Alex was driving, didn't have a problem
Speaker 1: with it, got the season's third shirt and has the
Speaker 1: early round eighties round in UFC with the Magpie. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: Alex reminded me. Yeah, didn't we redesign our logo to
Speaker 1: make it easier to reproduce?
Speaker 4: Yes, we did.
Speaker 1: I will give I will give Florida State credit though
Speaker 1: the turquoise colored line of gear as an homage to
Speaker 1: the Seminole tribe themselves. And I know as an alum
Speaker 1: that we do the that all of the gear that
Speaker 1: is produced is done with the consultation with the Seminole
Speaker 1: tribe and then then it's produced, and the revenue sharing
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff, as you well should.
Speaker 1: But with the turquoise line that you could not keep,
Speaker 1: you could not keep that in stores. That was a
Speaker 1: great idea. I probably had more turquoise stuff than I
Speaker 1: do garnet and gold. I love that idea. They need
Speaker 1: to produce more. But yes, we did make it easier
Speaker 1: to reproduce. And yeah, nothing bad happened on the field,
Speaker 1: And don't even remind me of about Mike Norvel. So
Speaker 1: morning Dell Dell got to see Parky and started running
Speaker 1: the uh the Charleston Rhode Island smack.
Speaker 4: That's always good.
Speaker 1: Let's see so, yes and uh, Mother's Day is this weekend,
Speaker 1: so once again, remember folks, once again remember Mother's Day.
Speaker 1: Get your gear squared away and get your gift squared away.
Speaker 1: And we did take care of Master Prodigitality. We did
Speaker 1: take care of that one. Let's see so Dell and
Speaker 1: very impressed with what they're doing at Rhode Island. One
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, but earlier this season it went to
Speaker 1: the Battery. Definitely gonna be catching up with them, Yes
Speaker 1: and so and so let's see Abby and Dell and
Speaker 1: Alex and uh yeah, more nasty.
Speaker 4: That was Kyle.
Speaker 1: That's why we kind of wanted to bring that up,
Speaker 1: because when you have somebody like Ozzie Alonzo who is nasty,
Speaker 1: you bring up that question to someone who has that
Speaker 1: streak and nasty him. And that's why I wanted to
Speaker 1: see what his response was when he's been looking at
Speaker 1: at Land United and.
Speaker 4: Seeing how they are physically on the field. Bend Bender
Speaker 4: to the Union.
Speaker 1: Okay, morning Rich, so officially official Ben Bender, morning Bam.
Speaker 1: And let's see so a Bram with the brace. Yes,
Speaker 1: watching FSU softball.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, the newer, the newer logo Abbey at Florida State.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit too more, a little too aero
Speaker 1: dynamic for my picking. But yeah, I love the turquoise stuff.
Speaker 1: And yes, always good for the smack talk, especially involving
Speaker 1: Dell with Rhode Island and Charleston. Okay, so what we
Speaker 1: need to do before we get out of here is
Speaker 1: we need to look at juice boxes, We need to
Speaker 1: do the game previews, we need to find out what
Speaker 1: our ref assignments are, and we also need to see
Speaker 1: if we know what our announcer assignments are, and find
Speaker 1: out what's going on at Land United right now is
Speaker 1: practicing on Friday. They're off on Thursdays, and so it's
Speaker 1: a bit of a flip in the schedule where you
Speaker 1: have instead of being off on Friday and easing into
Speaker 1: travel and leaving and heading to Chicago day before you are,
Speaker 1: now you're practicing and heading into all of your all
Speaker 1: of your pre match team minus twenty four window, and
Speaker 1: it's at practice this morning instead of taking today off
Speaker 1: and leading into your your weekend play. I kind of
Speaker 1: understand it, if I'm trying to process it. Properly, where
Speaker 1: instead of having a day off, you're you're you're out
Speaker 1: of rhythm. So like you practice Monday through Thursday, you're
Speaker 1: you don't practice on Friday for a Saturday or a Sunday.
Speaker 1: Then you kind of dump out of your rhythm a
Speaker 1: little bit and you're just kind of like eh, and
Speaker 1: then it takes a little while for the engine to
Speaker 1: kick back in when you're trying to get all squared away.
Speaker 1: So I understand it. It's it's atypical, but I understand it.
Speaker 1: We do have our announcer assignments, by the way. For
Speaker 1: Match Day twelve, Neil seek A, Lloyd Sam are going
Speaker 1: to be calling the match for Chicago. In Atlanta, it
Speaker 1: is Keith and Moe on Loon's and Messi and Friends.
Speaker 1: You've got Blaze Price and Paul Dolan calling the match
Speaker 1: in Toronto against DC United seven thirties, Tyler and Kendra.
Speaker 1: It is Austin and def C, Cincinnati SICCA and Sam
Speaker 1: once again NYC. In Montreal, Kangy and Danny doing Red Bulls.
Speaker 1: So it's a home game for Kangy and Danny Red Bulls.
Speaker 1: In lag Christian Miles Lorie Lindsay are calling the Purple
Speaker 1: team and the Revs. Callum and Kalen are calling the
Speaker 1: late start. It's an eight thirty for Philadelphia and Columbus.
Speaker 1: Josh Eastern, Jamie Watson scd in Rail Salt Lake, Mark
Speaker 1: Followell Warren Barton. It's a bit of a home match
Speaker 1: for Mark Followell. He doesn't have to leave the state
Speaker 1: of Texas. It is a Houston in Seattle, Tony Husband,
Speaker 1: Ross Smith, it's a home game for Tony Husband calling
Speaker 1: Nashville and Charlotte. Nate the Katie, Devin Kerr calling All
Speaker 1: Caps in San Diego Rogo, and Heath Pierce calling Colorado
Speaker 1: and San Jose, Max and Dunny calling Sporting and Portland
Speaker 1: and sns IS, Jake Taylor and Andrew calling White Caps
Speaker 1: and LA f C. So that's your rundown for your
Speaker 1: announcer assignments. Once again, don't forget the local broadcaster option
Speaker 1: for local radio. I still wish that there was a
Speaker 1: way that Major League Soccer would do away radio, and
Speaker 1: all it is is taking an additional audio cable and
Speaker 1: patching it in from the visiting radio booth into the truck.
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm also operating under the premise that there
Speaker 1: is another audio input and output from the production truck
Speaker 1: to ship it to Apple TV so you can get
Speaker 1: the away calls for those that are on site. So,
Speaker 1: like I said, that's just that's me thinking. Allowed when
Speaker 1: it comes to those assignments. Okay, match Day twelve, we're
Speaker 1: gonna go through the ref assignments, let you know who's
Speaker 1: going where before we get into juice boxes and lay
Speaker 1: out all the other news. We do now have our
Speaker 1: start times and our dates for the round of sixteen
Speaker 1: in the US Open Cup. Fifteen of the sixteen are
Speaker 1: Major League Soccer. So Match Day twelve, Lucas Soapala is
Speaker 1: the man in the middle. Chris Elliot, Ryan Graves your ars,
Speaker 1: Elvis Aismanovich is your fourth, Kevin Stott is your VAR,
Speaker 1: and cloud Yobdea they are upstairs. Lucaszpala is downstairs. Philip

Speaker 1: to hear Nico Estevez and Pat Noonan going back and
Speaker 1: forth with one another. Caroline Schnard is doing the seven
Speaker 1: point thirty with Kyle Atkins after she's varing at Minnesota
Speaker 1: United and MESSI and friends. I've always wondered, and this
Speaker 1: might be a question for our friends at pro how
Speaker 1: what it's like to do the quick turn? What it's
Speaker 1: like to do a back to back as a var?
Speaker 1: Is it just you know, wash rens and repeat? Do
Speaker 1: you need a break? Are there studies in these kinds
Speaker 1: of things? Is it better to do it, you know,
Speaker 1: back to backers because you're in that rhythm. So that's
Speaker 1: probably a question that needs to be reserved for var.
Speaker 1: Chris penso So Tory Penso' is at TQL. Chris Penso
Speaker 1: is at NYC at Yankee Stadium in CF Montreal. I
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, but the bearded, short cropped
Speaker 1: haired Chris Penso looks like you can off of like

Speaker 1: Vancouver and LAFC. Joe Dickerson, Wow, yeah, uh yeah, Richard
Speaker 1: said seven thirty for Fillion Columbus. I was reading the
Speaker 1: graphic or an apple on Apple TV. That's why it
Speaker 1: looked a little weird. So we'll go with seven thirty,
Speaker 1: and we'll go back when we do juice boxes, and
Speaker 1: we'll double check and take two out of three. Joe
Speaker 1: Dickerson gets Vancouver and LAFC beat two three four. Michael
Speaker 1: Barwagon layaz r FA your ars, Mo most Senni is
Speaker 1: your fourth. Advanjurissevich and Joshua pat Lack are upstairs. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a peg of the juice boxes and see
Speaker 1: if we can come up with a consensus two out
Speaker 1: of three start time. I wanted to say it's a
Speaker 1: seven thirty. The graphic for MLS season past at eight thirty.
Speaker 1: But we'll figure out. We'll see what it looks like,
Speaker 1: and then we'll do MLS Soccer dot com and see
Speaker 1: if we can come up with three out of four.
Speaker 4: Uh in the juice boxes. Lay it all out?
Speaker 1: Yeah, bam, Joe, I think bam, saw that Joe Dickerson
Speaker 1: was there, Okay, Chicago and Atlanta. Chicago is a plus
Speaker 1: one ten draws a plus two to eighty three. Atlanta United,
Speaker 1: the number has come down a little bit. There's still
Speaker 1: North the plus two hundred, but in the composite they're
Speaker 1: plus two to eleven. In our conversation that we had
Speaker 1: with Max Anderson yesterday, the play by play voice for
Speaker 1: Chicago Fire, question is can they make the emergency one
Speaker 1: time alone call up to not have Jonathan Gallan net
Speaker 1: and figure out Jeffrey gallin net and that be your keeper?
Speaker 1: What does it look like at the back offense? Is
Speaker 1: not the question for Chicago defense is So that is
Speaker 1: the question for Chicago defensively, what does it look like
Speaker 1: especially the back five?
Speaker 4: Who's your starting keeper? What's your back four offense? Is
Speaker 4: not the question?
Speaker 1: And they also played fairly full strength in the midweek
Speaker 1: against Union Omaha in Open Cup. How many minutes and
Speaker 1: who's going to be doing what? How much rotation is
Speaker 1: there in the side For Chicago Fire, what do you
Speaker 1: look like at the back, at the back four and
Speaker 1: in net? For Atlandi United, once again, what does it
Speaker 1: look like starting eleven four two three one. Who are
Speaker 1: your center backs? You figure it's gonna be uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we're keeping an eye on Pedromador and Brooks Lennon. What
Speaker 1: does it look on the edges? What do your two
Speaker 1: sixes look like? Is it Bart and Mattea's click and
Speaker 1: Jay Fortune?
Speaker 4: On the left wing?
Speaker 1: We do not have an update on Tristan million Bond.
Speaker 1: How many weeks it's going to be before he is
Speaker 1: back up to full song, because remember that you can
Speaker 1: sit there and say that it's going to be three
Speaker 1: weeks within a doctor, but everybody's a doctor is different.
Speaker 1: Everyone's response to treatment is different, and to rehab is different.
Speaker 1: So right now it is the big four? What is
Speaker 1: the what is your two sixes look like? What does
Speaker 1: the left wing look like? Those are the questions for
Speaker 1: at Landy United four point thirty. You have the two
Speaker 1: matches one North of the Border Loons and Messy and Friends.
Speaker 1: Loons are a plus one twenty four And like we
Speaker 1: said yesterday with Niko Modeno, Loon's don't want the ball,
Speaker 1: they don't care. Force Enter Miami and Messi and friends
Speaker 1: to do all the work. And you're gonna defend, defend, defend,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking draw which is at a plus two seventy
Speaker 1: nil nil won one something like that. I'm not anticipating
Speaker 1: a whole lot of offense on a very very angry
Speaker 1: Messian Friends team, just because of Minnesota being who they are.
Speaker 1: Plus one ninety three for Messi and Friends on the
Speaker 1: road Toronto FC and DC United. Toronto FC is a
Speaker 1: plus one thirty three. DC United a plus one eighty
Speaker 1: nine your draws a plus two fifty two. Toronto favored
Speaker 1: at home because they're at home. I don't know what
Speaker 1: DC team we're getting. I understand why Toronto was favored.
Speaker 1: I really would watch Loons and Messi and Friends if
Speaker 1: I were you, since both are starting at four forty
Speaker 1: seven thirties. Cincinnati and Austin. Cincinnati on the minus side
Speaker 1: of the minus one twenty three Austin a plus three
Speaker 1: twenty one draws a plus two seventy six Austin. Hopefully
Speaker 1: we'll wait another week or so before they figure out
Speaker 1: how to score an MLS play. They scored they were
Speaker 1: down to l Paso, Locomotive came back got the win.
Speaker 1: In Open Cup. They advanced to the round of sixteen.
Speaker 4: Once again.
Speaker 1: We'll take a pig of the round of sixteen coming
Speaker 1: up in a bit, so Austin hasn't scored in Major
Speaker 1: League Soccer recently. FC Cincinnati at home should be a
Speaker 1: tough opponent for Austin. I've got to go Cincinnati here,
Speaker 1: NYC and CF Montreal CF Montreal south of the border,
Speaker 1: they're a plus three fifty. NYC is a minus one
Speaker 1: thirty three draws a plus two seventy three. I would
Speaker 1: lean toward NYC in that one. Remember we're supposed to
Speaker 1: call them NYC Red Bulls and LAG Red Bulls are
Speaker 1: a minus one twenty in Harrison, New Jersey, LAG on
Speaker 1: the road north of plus three hundred draws of plus
Speaker 1: two eighty one LAG until further notice, and we talked
Speaker 1: about their schedule. I don't know where a win's going
Speaker 1: to come in the rest of the month to May.
Speaker 1: I really don't. And that to me is probably one
Speaker 1: of the more shocking things that we're looking at when
Speaker 1: it comes.
Speaker 4: To LAG.
Speaker 1: When you've got their schedule. Once again, for those who
Speaker 1: may have missed it, you know, looking at the schedule
Speaker 1: for LAG, you're eight and three right now, you're at
Speaker 1: the bottom of the West. You are looking up at
Speaker 1: everybody and you're like sitting because all the seats in
Speaker 1: the theater are taken and you are like one of
Speaker 1: the last ones to come in, and the only ones
Speaker 1: that are there, like the three in the front row
Speaker 1: where you have to slide down all the way into
Speaker 1: your chair look up, and the the projector screen that
Speaker 1: goes from one end of the planet to the other,
Speaker 1: and you can't take in all the information. Right now,
Speaker 1: LAG's in that front row of the movie theater and
Speaker 1: they're looking up at everything. They've only scored eight goals
Speaker 1: in eleven matches, they've given up twenty one. You're eight
Speaker 1: and three in the first eleven O four and one
Speaker 1: at home, and once again, here's the schedule for LAG.
Speaker 1: The rest of the month. It is at Red Bulls
Speaker 1: midweek at Philly.
Speaker 4: Gee. Thanks.
Speaker 1: My guess is they're not flying out, flying back, and
Speaker 1: flying back. They're gonna stay out East. Then it's gonna
Speaker 1: be EL Traffico on.
Speaker 4: The eighteenth.
Speaker 1: So next Sunday night, late night, it's gonna be L Traffico.
Speaker 1: After that, you go to San Diego to Snapdragon, then
Speaker 1: you host San Jose and you host Salt Lake.
Speaker 4: I could easily see them with eleven.
Speaker 1: To thirteen losses, and it would be RSL on the
Speaker 1: road at lag on May thirty first. That would be
Speaker 1: the wind to start things off. You would be thirteen
Speaker 1: and three if it holds to the match up against
Speaker 1: RSL coming out of Cali Classico, coming out of so
Speaker 1: Cal Classico or whatever they're calling San Diego in La
Speaker 1: the uh the six one nine and the two to
Speaker 1: one three, and you add them up the eight thirty
Speaker 1: two Derby.
Speaker 4: I don't know. So you you have.
Speaker 1: Red Bulls on the road, Philly on the road, and
Speaker 1: El Traffico three matches in eight days. I'm not looking
Speaker 1: too optimistically on that. So you'd be at eleven and
Speaker 1: three at that point. Then you go to San Diego.
Speaker 1: I'm not too keen on that one. Then you've got
Speaker 1: Cali Classico and then you got RSL. Then in June
Speaker 1: you got Saint Louis. But this is on the road.
Speaker 1: You go to Saint lud you've got the international break.
Speaker 4: Then you come back.
Speaker 1: You're on the road to Saint Louis, on the road
Speaker 1: to Colorado, and then three days later it's the reverse
Speaker 1: fixture in Cali Classico up at Stanford Stadium, and that
Speaker 1: gets you out of June. I am not optimistic with
Speaker 1: LAG getting to the halfway point being where they are
Speaker 1: end of the month. Maybe so LAG north of plus
Speaker 1: three hundred Red Bulls. That's kind of closed a little bit.
Speaker 1: Minus one twenty Purple team in the revs. Purple team
Speaker 1: of minus one sixty four, the Revs are almost a
Speaker 1: plus four hundred, and the draw is almost a plus
Speaker 1: three hundred. I see the Purple team here. I think
Speaker 1: it'll be tighter and tougher than a lot of folks
Speaker 1: may think. I would look at the total and see
Speaker 1: where you could get maybe two and a half, maybe
Speaker 1: take the under there. Best match of the earlies Philadelphia
Speaker 1: and Columbus with Ben Bender, the new Philadelphia Union player
Speaker 1: picked up on a free welcome Ben Bender. Philadelphia is
Speaker 1: a plus one thirty nine crews a plus one ninety five.
Speaker 1: Your draws a plus two thirty five. This one, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough one. Impassion to neutral observers, go
Speaker 1: watch this one eight thirty, which means eight forty FCD
Speaker 1: hosting RSL at a plus one oh two. RSL is
Speaker 1: a plus two fifty two draws a plus two sixty one.
Speaker 1: Houston hosting Seattle Sounders are a favorite on the plus
Speaker 1: side of the plus one fifty nine Your draws a
Speaker 1: plus two twenty two, and Houston Dynamos a plus one
Speaker 1: seventy seven. No room for a draw here. I think
Speaker 1: it's Seattle, Nashville, and Charlotte in your eight thirties. Nashville
Speaker 1: on the minus side of the minus one eighteen, Charlotte
Speaker 1: a plus three zero five after they're scare in the
Speaker 1: midweek where they rotated an open Cup draws a plus
Speaker 1: two seventy four. I don't know if I trust Nashville
Speaker 1: to minus one eighteen. I think the draw perhaps, and
Speaker 1: then Dean Smith will complain after the match about something
Speaker 1: last one At eight forty it's all Caps hosting San Diego.
Speaker 1: San Diego is a slight underdog at a plus one
Speaker 1: sixty four Your draws a plus two seventy three. Saint
Speaker 1: Louis City is a plus one forty three nine thirty,
Speaker 1: The Rapids and the Rabbit Prairie Dogs hosting San Jose
Speaker 1: a to minus one point fifteen. San Jose's a plus
Speaker 1: two seventy seven. Draws a plus two eighty six, and
Speaker 1: the composite courtesy of our friends at Odds Portal ten thirty,
Speaker 1: Portland minus one thirty five hosting Sporting at a plus
Speaker 1: three fifteen. Once again Sporting not really scoring at least recently,
Speaker 1: but carries a Wagnin does have him somewhat turned around.
Speaker 4: In Form.
Speaker 1: Draws a plus three eleven. SNS Vancouver hosting a LA
Speaker 1: Vancouver is a plus one hundred even Money Draws a
Speaker 1: plus two sixty eight, and LASC is a plus two forty.
Speaker 4: Three, So rich to our point.
Speaker 1: Odds Portal has Philadelphia and Columbus as a seven forty
Speaker 1: start and so going three out of four, which means
Speaker 1: that the graphic on the two hundred and eighty character
Speaker 1: app is wrong in broadcast times seven thirty seven forty
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Columbus at MLS Soccer dot com, So please disregard
Speaker 1: the time that is listed on MLS on air on
Speaker 1: their graphics until it changes from eight thirty to seven thirty.
Speaker 1: Welcome Ben Bender. So that's your rundown of all of
Speaker 1: your juice boxes and what it looks like going into
Speaker 1: the weekend. We mentioned we had the stories about Portugal
Speaker 1: and the relegation scrap. Let's get into your juice boxes
Speaker 1: in Angland five on Saturday four of them at ten o'clock.
Speaker 1: There is no early full of minus one fifteen hosting Everton,
Speaker 1: ip Switch a plus four to fifty hosting Brentford, Southampton
Speaker 1: A plus thirteen hundred hosting Manchester City Wolves a plus
Speaker 1: one seventy two hosting Brighton, who's a plus one fifty
Speaker 1: two buttaeos kun is still trying to figure out an
Speaker 1: exit strategy. Twelve thirty The Late Game born with an
Speaker 1: Aston Villa sneaky good game born with a plus one
Speaker 1: forty one at the Vitality draws A plus two sixty five.
Speaker 1: Villa is a plus one seventy seven. Sunday Newcastle plus
Speaker 1: one seventeen hosting Chelsea at a plus two twelve plus
Speaker 1: two seventy three on the draw, nine fifteen three of
Speaker 1: them there. Manchester United hosting west Ham at a minus
Speaker 1: one oh nine. Coming off of playing in the midweek
Speaker 1: two days rest, you get the extra day of recovery,

Speaker 1: Newcastle at sixty three more goals scored than Chelsea, goal
Speaker 1: difference being equal, and one more win. Nottingham Forest, who's
Speaker 1: lost three of five. They are one three and one
Speaker 1: in their last five at sixty one points. Villa is
Speaker 1: at sixty so four points separating five clubs three to seven,
Speaker 1: which could determine everything from Champions League to Conference League.
Speaker 1: That's where it is right now, Born with at fifty three.
Speaker 1: It's a good run by you, injuries hit you at
Speaker 1: the worst possible time, but finishing eighth. Brentford ninth at
Speaker 1: fifty two, ahead of Brighton on goal difference right now
Speaker 1: with three to go, Fulham at fifty one, so that's
Speaker 1: an interesting gaggle between eight and eleven among eight and eleven,
Speaker 1: Crystal Palace at forty six, Wolves at forty one, Everton
Speaker 1: at thirty nine, better goal difference than Manchester United by two.
Speaker 1: Manchester United fifteen, Spurs at sixteen at thirty eight points.
Speaker 1: West Ham is at thirty seven points. So the two

Speaker 1: fifteenth and sixteenth in the Premier League. Obviously relegated at
Speaker 1: Switch Leester in Southampton IP switch at twenty two. Leicester
Speaker 1: at twenty one in Southampton, two wins in their thirty
Speaker 1: five matches. Obviously, you also have promotion playoffs happening, so
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that this weekend with our friends
Speaker 1: at Paramount Plus Gossip Brimmer and youu Indo. Let me
Speaker 1: go there and then we'll get into high school to
Speaker 1: set you up for noon. Eastern Soccer is in session
Speaker 1: playoff Daily Life presented by our friends A Kaiser Permanente
Speaker 1: visits to Hebren Christian and to Tattnall County. We'll go
Speaker 1: over all your brackets, get you ready for the boys
Speaker 1: semifinals because we're going to beat Sprayburry and Johns Creek
Speaker 1: yours truly. We'll have the call on the SDH network
Speaker 1: tonight and so you can listen on go to Soccer
Speaker 1: down here dot net, go to the listen tab and
Speaker 1: you can listen to the match and whatever channel it's
Speaker 1: on the most recent broadcast should be up and up
Speaker 1: for display, so you can listen to the Jefferson match
Speaker 1: yesterday that had them defeating Cherokee Bluff five two. Craziness
Speaker 1: across the board at Jefferson Turf and so Jefferson and
Speaker 1: A Coney County after a Cony County's three to one
Speaker 1: win over Whitewater at Whitewater that was on SDH one.
Speaker 1: Those two teams are going to be playing each other
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. It's going to be a fantastic championship game
Speaker 1: for Tripa A Girls, Judson Hanby and a Cony County
Speaker 1: going for three in a row. Molly McCarty chasing after
Speaker 1: a championship. That one's gonna go for a while.
Speaker 4: Trust me.
Speaker 1: We'll go over all the other finals from yesterday coming
Speaker 1: up in a bit so gossip erveran innuendo. What to watch,
Speaker 1: where to watch it, how to watch it? We'll get
Speaker 1: into that BAM's question as we transition, And this is
Speaker 1: a good question. I do not have the answer for it.
Speaker 1: MLS rule only you can play in two cup tournaments.
Speaker 1: LAFC goes Club World Cup. Does that mean they have
Speaker 1: to back out of League's Cup? My gut tells me yes.
Speaker 1: I have no proof, but that's what my gut tells me,
Speaker 1: is that they'd have to back and then you'd have
Speaker 1: to try and find somebody who could jump into League's
Speaker 1: Cup quickly from MLS. But either way, I think you
Speaker 1: might be screwed. LAFC might be the team that plays
Speaker 1: in three just out of necessity. But we'll keep an
Speaker 1: eye on it and we'll find it. We'll find out
Speaker 1: if there is a rule, and we wouldn't have an
Speaker 1: answer until June first. Say LAFC wins, they're in the
Speaker 1: Club World Cup, then they would be violating the two
Speaker 1: tournament rule. Then you try to find somebody quickly who
Speaker 1: would be playing in League's Cup. That would be that
Speaker 1: would be available to play in League's Cup. Otherwise someone
Speaker 1: might be playing in three, might be just because of
Speaker 1: this year. And you can thank the Court of Arbitration
Speaker 1: for Sport end Group of Pachuca for their ownership habits.
Speaker 1: But do not have an answer, and I don't And
Speaker 1: it might be LAFC two.
Speaker 4: It might be that.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Bam, it's a hell of a question.
Speaker 1: But it would make sense to have LAFC two well,
Speaker 1: But I mean, that's the thing. It's like, I don't
Speaker 1: know if LAFC two would play in League's Cup. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that would be allowed. Like I said,
Speaker 1: there is a that's a third tournament for LAFC.
Speaker 4: How do you fix it.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can fix it with an
Speaker 1: MLS Cup, with an MLS club it might have to
Speaker 1: be LAFC two.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: And if someone has the printed word on that, that
Speaker 1: would be fantastic. But my guess is they're gonna try
Speaker 1: and fix that problem. If it turns into a problem
Speaker 1: to fix, they will not have a definitive answer until
Speaker 1: June one. But like I said, LAFC might end up
Speaker 1: being in three tournaments, so well and bam. It's also
Speaker 1: it's not just letting them in, it's letting the twos
Speaker 1: clubs in, say an Open Cup something like that, which
Speaker 1: reminds me we need to go over those starting times too.
Speaker 1: Note that those have been established. So I would have
Speaker 1: enjoyed more twos teams in Open Cup this year, but
Speaker 1: that did not happen. Is not the case, But we
Speaker 1: do have our start times from Open Cup and what
Speaker 1: it looks like the schedule going forward. Initially, once again

Speaker 1: who sits there and goes yep, that's good, Oh okay,
Speaker 1: then you can transfer the other auditors coming and go.
