Speaker 1: All right, So there goes Tyler, So Dylan, coconut mocha. Yeah,
Speaker 1: your name.
Speaker 2: Flavor generally yay.
Speaker 3: I'm not like a plain coffee drinker. Guy, I would
Speaker 3: try it, but not it wouldn't be in my like,
Speaker 3: like hazelnut is probably my one or one be with
Speaker 3: French vanilla. I would go a caramel m I'd have
Speaker 3: to probably go pretty far down the pecking order to get.
Speaker 2: To coconut moca. But I do I listen respect.
Speaker 1: Okay, Hey, look, I'm not like it like I'm with Jared.
Speaker 1: I'm not a coffee drinking person. But if you want
Speaker 1: to go down those.
Speaker 2: Roads, have your different flavors of mountain do though?
Speaker 1: But but are okay? So all right, So here's here's
Speaker 1: the deal with that. Once they strayed from the original,
Speaker 1: and I'm including diet in there, they have diluted their
Speaker 1: market share by themselves. And the rest of the flavors
Speaker 1: are awful. It is original for me or nothing, high
Speaker 1: calorie for me or nothing. The rest of them stink.
Speaker 1: They're horrendous. I can't linkeen that word out to any
Speaker 1: more syllables than I can horrendous.
Speaker 4: So you're telling me I'm wasting my time whenever I
Speaker 4: like send you in the production chat like random Mountain
Speaker 4: dews that I find at the sword and then try
Speaker 4: them to find out that they're generally not very good.
Speaker 2: Correct, he will not do those dudes?
Speaker 1: No, I will not.
Speaker 4: I do I do the du for him so he
Speaker 4: doesn't have to do the du.
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely true, it is No, I can't do it.
Speaker 1: I just simply can't.
Speaker 4: My digestive system was built growing up in the nineties
Speaker 4: and early two thousands on cheap taco bell and then
Speaker 4: cook out. Eventually, like mount it is not going to
Speaker 4: do Jack squat to whatever is like whatever's left to
Speaker 4: my like internal system. It's I have absolutely obliterated it
Speaker 4: with bad fast food over the years. It's it's it's
Speaker 4: desensitized at this point to bad mountain dew.
Speaker 1: I do well. I mean it's look, everything is desensitized
Speaker 1: to me. I just know that that when you try
Speaker 1: and float a different flavor to me and there's actually
Speaker 1: another new flavor and another new food coloring that that
Speaker 1: I saw recently. I think it was like some pineapple cloase.
Speaker 1: It was it was some pineapple mango garbage that they're
Speaker 1: floating out there. And I'm like no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: This is no. This is what happens when you're bored
Speaker 1: in the lab and you come up with all of
Speaker 1: this different ish that is associated with all of this.
Speaker 1: Now it's just no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2: With and I don't know, maybe it's been controversial.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure, but I'm like that with uh with
Speaker 3: Chick fil A, Like just give me the og, correct,
Speaker 3: Like it's great, I don't need the harbor there what
Speaker 3: Like I don't need you know, do you want the
Speaker 3: de Latino man?
Speaker 2: Just just the og? Do you need? No, I don't
Speaker 2: eat sauce or anything.
Speaker 4: Correct, Yeah, just normal because I I when I were
Speaker 4: at the school I went to for high school, like
Speaker 4: there was always there were teachers in the hallways growing
Speaker 4: up in Metro Atlanta selling like coolers full of Chick
Speaker 4: fil A chicken biscuits every morning, Like everybody went to
Speaker 4: Chick fil A for breakfast and or lunch at different points.
Speaker 4: Like it's just it's to the point now for me personally,
Speaker 4: at thirty five years old, I Chick fil A is
Speaker 4: a low down on my list of things I want
Speaker 4: to do because I got.
Speaker 1: Burned out by it. From having it for the last
Speaker 1: however many years. It's because it popped up on every quarter.
Speaker 2: It's a newish, it's newish in the Northeast.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think it's perfect. I think it's perfect
Speaker 4: for y'all that y'all get to experience this. Are the
Speaker 4: people in the Northeast Chick fil as as like unsettlingly
Speaker 4: kind as they are down here, Like the people behind.
Speaker 2: The counter, Yeah, like it has to.
Speaker 3: And it's funny because like they'll have these kids, you know,
Speaker 3: come out and take your orders in the in the
Speaker 3: drive through, like you're not You're not getting it at
Speaker 3: the window, like they're they're meeting you before the window
Speaker 3: and it's like cold outside, and like they're like, Hi,
Speaker 3: I think you order. I'm like you if I just
Speaker 3: feel bad for them, I'm like my inner dad comes out.
Speaker 2: I'm like, go get warm, go.
Speaker 4: Yes, Why don't you have a bigger jacket on?
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? Hear it?
Speaker 2: You're gonna catch your deathicult?
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly, because like the contrast for me is like
Speaker 4: we'll go to chick you go to Chick fil A.
Speaker 4: I'll get my my daughter loves chicken minies. I'll get
Speaker 4: them like on Saturday morning and so like we'll get
Speaker 4: those this a great like everyone here is so unfailingly
Speaker 4: kind on Saturday morning when no one really needs to
Speaker 4: awake or nice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like it must be like part like
Speaker 3: it's uh, it's almost like when you know, you go
Speaker 3: to basic training for the Marines, right, and like they
Speaker 3: break you down and then they build you up.
Speaker 2: Like it must be something like that with Chick fil a,
Speaker 2: where where like they tear.
Speaker 3: Down the usual sort of blondness or whatever that you're bringing,
Speaker 3: you know, and especially New York, you know, like that
Speaker 3: edge or that attitude and they and they cut that
Speaker 3: away and they and they make you this nice robot.
Speaker 1: Well, well, is it ben or the point that I
Speaker 1: just made on X because Alex says they aren't local kids,
Speaker 1: they're exported from the South. Is it kind of like
Speaker 1: being on It isn't the accents?
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: Is it like being on Mormon mission?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Maybe?
Speaker 4: Well but this is this is the argument that I had, Like.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you do on Sundays, So yeah, that's.
Speaker 4: That's when the indoctrination classes are y. I had this
Speaker 4: argument yes to day on X with somebody that I'm
Speaker 4: a firm believer that we should export waffle House to
Speaker 4: the rest of the planet. And when we do so, like, hey,
Speaker 4: do you all want to move to another country? Because
Speaker 4: if we put waffle house like in Europe, what we're
Speaker 4: gonna need to do there is we're gonna need to
Speaker 4: bring people from the South to run set waffle house
Speaker 4: because we need. First off, we're gonna need to We're
Speaker 4: gonna need you to be able to smoke a pack
Speaker 4: a day while you are flipping eggs and staring at
Speaker 4: everyone angrily. We have to not just export the food,
Speaker 4: we have to export the attitude and the general dislike
Speaker 4: of the people you're serving.
Speaker 1: That's all.
Speaker 3: I'm fairly certain that's all part of the new with
Speaker 3: the with the new leadership coming in in January, I
Speaker 3: think that's all part of the world domination is to
Speaker 3: just get waffle houses into different countries and see and
Speaker 3: and you know, suddenly you're you're a believer, you're a follower.
Speaker 1: That would be amazing if that would be.
Speaker 4: But the best contrast is still you go to chickil A,
Speaker 4: everyone's so nice. You go across the street to a
Speaker 4: Popeyes and it's just a level of hostility that you
Speaker 4: didn't know existed outside of a very uncomfortable things giving dinner.
Speaker 1: Correct. See, this is this is this is what you
Speaker 1: get into with with all these different fast food restaurants.
Speaker 1: You have to navigate the tone and the tenor going
Speaker 1: into the building. But no, I completely understand.
Speaker 2: We're all not not too far from Dylan Butler estates.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that's sorry. Aren't you having a groundbreaking.
Speaker 2: I am yeah. I let them do it today. It's
Speaker 2: too cold for me to be out there, so.
Speaker 3: They can they can decide to get through the frozen grounds.
Speaker 2: That is outside.
Speaker 3: But uh, not too far from there. In Jackson Heights,
Speaker 3: there used to be a white Castle, right, No, exactly right,
Speaker 3: that's everyone's. They got rid of it and they put
Speaker 3: in a Popeyes.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: The Popeyes is directly aross His Street from a KFC,
Speaker 3: like on two sides of Northern Boulevard. And it's not
Speaker 3: even like it's like four lanes of traffic each way.
Speaker 3: It's like two lanes, two lanes, KFC on one side,
Speaker 3: Popeyes on the other where White Castle.
Speaker 2: Used to be.
Speaker 1: Man, I know, oh boy, what's the mug this morning?
Speaker 1: By the way, blessed. Okay, he's blessed to have a
Speaker 1: groundbreaking this morning. Yeah, and I've never.
Speaker 4: Had a white castle because we always had with down
Speaker 4: here was crystal, which is taking your it's taking your
Speaker 4: life in your own hands to eat a crystal or any.
Speaker 1: Given for white castle.
Speaker 4: But I've heard it's better like that. It's somehow something
Speaker 4: they're doing different and better. That's just what I was
Speaker 4: always told. It's like they're, oh, if you like crystal,
Speaker 4: you'd love white Castle. It's like the same, like actually
Speaker 4: it's better.
Speaker 1: Well, and it's all so different because when you go
Speaker 1: to white Castle, you can actually have an A one
Speaker 1: white Castle, where you can't have an A one crystal.
Speaker 1: They literally have no no, it's like literally what they
Speaker 1: do is you have your standard white Castle burger, but
Speaker 1: you have a one sauce on it. Oh okay mustard. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So that's just.
Speaker 2: Someone a friend of mine. He uh.
Speaker 3: I don't know how deeply he went into this, but
Speaker 3: he was like, you know what what makes you not
Speaker 3: feel well after eating white castles is.
Speaker 2: Is their ketchup.
Speaker 3: Like you ask for it without ketchup and even just
Speaker 3: get a ketchup packet if you wanted, because that way,
Speaker 3: it's not like the big jug of.
Speaker 2: Ketchup or something. He was trying to explain some sort
Speaker 2: of chemistry.
Speaker 1: Well, and I could, because that ketchup is is out
Speaker 1: in the air in the environment, and it's it's room temperature,
Speaker 1: and it's out there for an elongated period of time.
Speaker 1: I get that. So no, I understand, I understand where
Speaker 1: that's coming from. But yeah, when I would go to
Speaker 1: the southernmost white castle in the UNI the States, in Murphreysboro, Tennessee,
Speaker 1: on my way to Middle Tennessee State, or on my
Speaker 1: way to Nashville, you peel off. It's right off of
Speaker 1: the interstate. You go and you get an A one.
Speaker 1: You get an A one white castle, and instead of
Speaker 1: the room temperature ketchup or the room temperature mustard, they
Speaker 1: put A one on it. And so that way, for me,
Speaker 1: it was a lot better off for me to have
Speaker 1: that as an option that you don't get it crystal,
Speaker 1: because I'm sure that if you try it's like, can
Speaker 1: I have an A one crystal, they look at you
Speaker 1: like what It's like, what are you talking about? So
Speaker 1: welcome to Wall Pass. Wednesday. We're halfway through the second
Speaker 1: with Dylan and we have such soccer.
Speaker 4: Yet hey, there's also yo, there's a there's an MLS
Speaker 4: Cup final this week.
Speaker 1: I've heard it is That's what I've heard that is
Speaker 1: not involving Messi and Friends, and it drives people crazy
Speaker 1: when we mentioned that that particular club, although they did
Speaker 1: name their new head coach and Javier Mascherano, who admitted
Speaker 1: that he had taken the job once before and then
Speaker 1: backed out. Uh so Messi and Friends have a new
Speaker 1: head coach, Luis Suarez is a contract extension. They got
Speaker 1: to figure out how they're going to continue to navigate name,
Speaker 1: image and likeness in the South Cap and all those
Speaker 1: kinds of things that try to make another push Club
Speaker 1: World Cup. We'll get into that after in the next
Speaker 1: half hour because the pots are out, the TV partner,
Speaker 1: all those kinds of things. Lag Ricky Pooge, No Ricky Pooge,
Speaker 1: because he blew out his ACL with Ris with thirty
Speaker 1: minutes to go and continue to play on it and
Speaker 1: contributed to the game winning goal for LAG over Seattle.
Speaker 1: LAG's hosting. How do you think they tackle this without
Speaker 1: Ricky Poohe.
Speaker 3: Can vnch like the easy answer would be Royce, but
Speaker 3: he also is not healthy, So I would say you're
Speaker 3: more likely. Like if I were to put a shilling
Speaker 3: or a shekel on it, I would say Diego Fagundez
Speaker 3: is in the eleven. He's filled in for Pooch before,
Speaker 3: has done a great job. MLS veteran, has been on
Speaker 3: this stage before. He will not be rattled by the situation. Look,
Speaker 3: he's not Ricky, right, nobody else is.
Speaker 2: But I think he would do a solid job in
Speaker 2: that role.
Speaker 1: And with Red Bulls. The what we talked about with
Speaker 1: Tyler in the hour number one when we actually did
Speaker 1: talk soccer had to do with the idea that they
Speaker 1: are different with Emil Forsburg than without and mil Forsburg
Speaker 1: and this is this is a much sounder, well rounded,
Speaker 1: more offensively based club with Emil Forsburg kind of turning
Speaker 1: the screws than when they don't have him. You've got
Speaker 1: to see the different Red Bulls with him, yeah than
Speaker 1: without it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I think it's a combination, right, It's it's Forstburg
Speaker 3: in slight tweak tactically in the back, right like with
Speaker 3: the five or the three center backs if you will,
Speaker 3: and then the two wing backs they'll push up and
Speaker 3: they'll press, but also they've become a lot more more
Speaker 3: direct in the sense where you know they're getting it
Speaker 3: out right away, which is more kind of we're used
Speaker 3: to with red bull ball. But you know they're winning
Speaker 3: the first and second balls in midfield and then they're
Speaker 3: going and now they have a Forsburg to play those
Speaker 3: balls right, to push those balls forward. If there's a
Speaker 3: foul on a second ball, that's one now you've got
Speaker 3: Forstburg in a dangerous situation to hit a free kick.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: He also is a guy you know what do we
Speaker 3: associate most with Red bull soccer, right, like just one
Speaker 3: hundred miles an hour like NASCAR car crashes.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the guy who will put his foot on
Speaker 3: the brake and he'll put his foot on the ball
Speaker 3: and slow it down when it needs to be slowed
Speaker 3: down too.
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's he's that guy.
Speaker 3: He's the guy the fans clamored for for the front
Speaker 3: office to finally spend some money in the offseason.
Speaker 2: They did that. And another guy he won't be rattled by.
Speaker 3: The situation, right, Like he's played in World Cups, he's
Speaker 3: played on Champions League nights with with the beautiful music playing.
Speaker 2: He's he's you know, he's done it all. He's played
Speaker 2: in the boond.
Speaker 3: This league obviously at a high level, So I think
Speaker 3: a great moment for him for sure. But yeah, if
Speaker 3: Red Bulls are to do anything in this, Forsburg is
Speaker 3: going to be involved somehow, Right, He's going to play
Speaker 3: a big ball forward, He's gonna hit a free kick,
Speaker 3: He's he's gonna play a factor should the Red Bulls
Speaker 3: pull the upset.
Speaker 4: And I know we'll get more into what La does
Speaker 4: what La is doing at given a moment, but I
Speaker 4: want to ask you about because it is your turf
Speaker 4: up there in New York, about Sandro Schwartz and not
Speaker 4: just getting them to this point of getting them to
Speaker 4: a Cup final, but the changes that were, you know,
Speaker 4: not just on the field, but like culturally that may
Speaker 4: have happened in the last year when Sandro Sports comes
Speaker 4: in takes over this squad and kind of it seems
Speaker 4: like they're more evolved in the way they played that
Speaker 4: It's there were moments where in the past it kind
Speaker 4: of felt like, hey, if you can just punt it
Speaker 4: down into their corner, if you're willing to just not
Speaker 4: have the ball, you can kind of limit them.
Speaker 1: But you know you talked about Forstsberg.
Speaker 4: Giving them, giving them that out of dimension of being
Speaker 4: that that game breaking player. But it feels from a
Speaker 4: distance like Sandro sports helped also kind of change the
Speaker 4: culture a bit and get things moving in the right
Speaker 4: direction for that club.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think to what he's done, maybe better
Speaker 3: than others before him, is he's given a clear plan B, right,
Speaker 3: or even a plan C like I mentioned right, Like
Speaker 3: they've gone the three in the back now, like, so
Speaker 3: they played one way at the start of the year
Speaker 3: wasn't working right, So maybe in other iterations of the
Speaker 3: Red Bulls, you're like, we gotta keep going. It's gonna
Speaker 3: it's gonna work eventually, right, And they weren't maybe comfortable
Speaker 3: in a plan B right. I remember Chris Armis when
Speaker 3: he was the head coach, was talking to me about,
Speaker 3: you know, trying to get the team to be more
Speaker 3: comfortable on the ball, which is exactly what Santra Schwartz
Speaker 3: is doing here as well. But they weren't at the
Speaker 3: time because they were so used to the one way
Speaker 3: of playing right. So I think what Sandro has done
Speaker 3: is he's made this team more comfortable playing in different ways.
Speaker 3: And like I said of the postseason, you know it's
Speaker 3: been now less on the ball and more Route one
Speaker 3: and more first and second balls being one, and now
Speaker 3: a difference maker, you know, up in the attack. And
Speaker 3: by the way, completely nothing to do with any of that.
Speaker 3: But since the wall pass Wednesday, you gotta love a
Speaker 3: head coach in an Eastern Conference final wearing.
Speaker 2: A trucker hat.
Speaker 3: Yes, oh yes, dude, when's the last time that has happened?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: Like, coaches with trucker hats are met now one to
Speaker 3: o in Eastern Conference finals.
Speaker 1: I legitimately no, I thought it was. I legitimately thought
Speaker 1: it was a von Dutch litt I legitimately did.
Speaker 2: That was so awesome.
Speaker 1: And it turns out that it's an Adidas hat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Adidas is making trucker hats for people. Loved it, Adidas,
Speaker 1: What have you done with Adidas catering to the trucker
Speaker 1: hat element of us?
Speaker 3: All I want to I want to bring in sort
Speaker 3: of like this over arching, big, sort of overlooking thing
Speaker 3: here in the final, which which I thought, at least I.
Speaker 2: Don't know, was interesting. Maybe you guys won't.
Speaker 3: But so two MLS originals right on either side of
Speaker 3: the two coasts. Both had a noisy neighbor come into town.
Speaker 2: Right. Both of those noisy neighbors then.
Speaker 3: Played uh better than the originals, right, and and they
Speaker 3: got like, you know, there's a lot of people who
Speaker 3: were Red Boat fans who were who were just disenfranchised.
Speaker 3: They were like, we're done, Like these guys are, you know,
Speaker 3: and they went to become ny CFC fans, and the
Speaker 3: and the l a f C comes in, you know,
Speaker 3: Vala they're playing uh sexy football and n y CFC
Speaker 3: is doing their thing. They're inside the city. L a
Speaker 3: f C are inside the city. These other two teams
Speaker 3: are in the suburbs. And they both went MLS cups.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: So now both of these clubs, these MLS originals, are like, Christ,
Speaker 3: what we got to do something here, Like we've got
Speaker 3: to We've got to you know, become that team again
Speaker 3: in our area. And that's kind of like what we're
Speaker 3: seeing here. Obviously l a f C going for a
Speaker 3: record six MLS title and Red Bulls looking for their first.
Speaker 3: But I thought it was kind of interesting the you know,
Speaker 3: the journey I.
Speaker 2: Guess if you will.
Speaker 3: Off the field or I guess on the field, as well,
Speaker 3: but just you know, for the hearts and minds kind
Speaker 3: of thing in their respective areas.
Speaker 1: It almost sounds like a story that could be written
Speaker 1: almost for a website. Maybe you mentioned we talked about
Speaker 1: the injury situation with la g and who's probably going
Speaker 1: to have to be focused on so they can function,
Speaker 1: and who the subs would be Below the radar for
Speaker 1: Red Bulls. I know we all sit there and the
Speaker 1: shiny object is Emil Forsberg. For you, who do we
Speaker 1: need to focus on to determine sustained success in MLS
Speaker 1: Cup for Red Bulls Outside of a mil Forsburg, who
Speaker 1: else would it be?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, uh, I think, like I think the
Speaker 3: midfield is going to be really interesting. I think I
Speaker 3: think a Daniel Edelman is gonna is gonna have to
Speaker 3: to run of socks off in the midfield and and
Speaker 3: and really you know, help win a lot of those
Speaker 3: balls in the midfield and and break up you know,
Speaker 3: the best the best attack in MLS, right we could
Speaker 3: say it, or certainly in the postseason and they then
Speaker 3: they showed during the regular season obviously too. But I
Speaker 3: think he's gonna be be key. I think of John
Speaker 3: Tolkien as well, right, like on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 3: He's gonna come up as a wing back. He's gonna press.
Speaker 3: He's going to try to make you know, paint sale
Speaker 3: and pex life a living heck, and then also play
Speaker 3: uh incredible balls like he did to the back post
Speaker 3: rays right, so and and I got a shout out
Speaker 3: my Long Islanders man, the Neelas Brothers massive peak was strong.
Speaker 3: And by the way, if you guys are ever in Massapequa,
Speaker 3: I I don't know when that would happen. A terrific
Speaker 3: going back, right, A terrific burger place. They're all American burgers.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: They it's like.
Speaker 3: Super super old school, like you would expect some of
Speaker 3: the come out and roller skates to deliver your order,
Speaker 3: you know, like you would expect. I mean, it's not
Speaker 3: like a diner. Like it's not like the Fonds is
Speaker 3: in there like hitting the jukebox, but it's it has
Speaker 3: that kind of a vibe of the shake and the
Speaker 3: and the burger. Great place right in the middle of Massapequa.
Speaker 3: And uh and ayah, the Nilas boys will both be
Speaker 3: also very very busy defensively again trying to slow down
Speaker 3: this vaunted lag attack.
Speaker 1: Well, I think all the Nilas brothers have to do
Speaker 1: is just stand still and turn into human roadblocks, bounce
Speaker 1: off a k A be normal. Yeah, because they are.
Speaker 1: They are the two most frustrating individuals that you could
Speaker 1: have on the field if you're Sandro Schwartz, because they
Speaker 1: don't just go up to the edge. They go over
Speaker 1: the edge. And then they'll stare at Guido Gonzalez and
Speaker 1: sit there and go, You're gonna do something about it.
Speaker 1: That's just how they're wired. And I think that that's
Speaker 1: an early emotional test. I think for L A. G. Is,
Speaker 1: you know, having those enforcers like the Nilas boys. I
Speaker 1: feel like I've just gone to the corner of eighty
Speaker 1: seventh and third. Get the Needless boys out of here,
Speaker 1: you know, one of those kind of things.
Speaker 3: Listen, you you're you're behind in your bills, all right,
Speaker 3: like you owe us, you owe us a few.
Speaker 2: You don't want the Needlas boys coming.
Speaker 1: Now. One of those has the has the old wooden
Speaker 1: Louisville slugger and he's sitting there and he happened on
Speaker 1: the other hand, you know, but I mean.
Speaker 2: They had the leather jackets on, absolutely true.
Speaker 1: Yes, And they're the two guys that are sitting there
Speaker 1: and they're doing this and you're hearing drop Kick Murphy's
Speaker 1: in the background. You know they're they're they're they're gonna
Speaker 1: drive you crazy and force you into and they're gonna
Speaker 1: force Giego Gonzales into a decision about Okay, do I Card?
Speaker 1: Do I let it go? I think that that's another
Speaker 1: subplot in this where's the line? How does how does
Speaker 1: Gito ride the line? And because you don't want Cards
Speaker 1: to dictate it, but you can't let it go? And
Speaker 1: I think that the Needless Boys dem NILA's Boys might
Speaker 1: be an early challenge emotionally for al Ag.
Speaker 2: I think that's a fair shout and and I think though.
Speaker 3: If I'm red Bull, like, I'm not as worry about
Speaker 3: them and and they're enforceer physical nature. I'm more worried
Speaker 3: about Reyes and that in that grouping because like the
Speaker 3: Neelas Boys will toe the line, I think, you know,
Speaker 3: like they'll they'll show the bat like you're saying, hey,
Speaker 3: and Reyes will take it out of their hands and
Speaker 3: just hit someone in the ankles with it.
Speaker 1: So ow uh, Jared, what else is on your mind
Speaker 1: for Dylan? As we preview MLS Cup and that Dennila's
Speaker 1: Boys and leather jackets and baseball bats and everything.
Speaker 4: Honestly, Ray, this was gonna be the next thing because
Speaker 4: like if you told me, we get another game where
Speaker 4: it's we're watching like Reyes probably shouldn't he should probably
Speaker 4: have three or three or four yellow cards by now,
Speaker 4: and then.
Speaker 1: Ah, he just scored aheader. That's fun.
Speaker 4: If we get another one of.
Speaker 1: Those games, I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 4: But it's something that we talk about a lot doing
Speaker 4: it these kind of games, in playoff games in general,
Speaker 4: but especially a game like this is a cup final.
Speaker 4: The longer it goes scoreless, who breaks first? And you know,
Speaker 4: I would tell you I'm interested to see who handles
Speaker 4: their business psychologically with a tight game late.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know what I if it wasn't for
Speaker 3: what we just saw last weekend, I would have said,
Speaker 3: that's advantage Red Bull. But look at Lag just did
Speaker 3: against Seattle.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Seattle played that right, They played that perfectly like it
Speaker 2: was scoreless for as long as it was. And then
Speaker 2: the eighty fifth in it, you know, Pooch with one
Speaker 2: meniscus play is that ball?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: And and Joe Lych puts it away. So I think
Speaker 3: if you're lag, you're like, we just saw this. So
Speaker 3: if we get into the second half and it's scoreless,
Speaker 3: if we're frustrated that we're missing our chances, we're frustrated
Speaker 3: that there's a ton of fout like they were just
Speaker 3: in this game. So I think being at home and
Speaker 3: having played that, I think that's an advantage for them.
Speaker 1: Groundhog Day. Yeah, literally, it's like all the way.
Speaker 3: I was there the last time, the only time the
Speaker 3: Red Bulls were in MLS cup oo. Yeah, I was
Speaker 3: covering them for MLS Soccer dot Com and that. And
Speaker 3: it's funny because like you get MLS, I feel like
Speaker 3: more than any other sport, right, Like it's interesting. It's
Speaker 3: still a young league obviously, right, it's twenty nine years old,
Speaker 3: but you get fans who pop in at certain moments,
Speaker 3: you know, and and they don't I guess now you
Speaker 3: know what, it's probably the same. Like I think if
Speaker 3: you're an NFL fan, you know, do you know who
Speaker 3: Gail Sayers is?
Speaker 2: You know? Probably not right like or Walter you know
Speaker 2: Peyton you know, like.
Speaker 1: Oh see you got to know who you do.
Speaker 2: But you probably don't write if you're like a new
Speaker 2: or a fan.
Speaker 1: So uh.
Speaker 3: So you maybe don't realize their journey that they had
Speaker 3: in two thousand and eight. But they had to they
Speaker 3: had to make the playoffs. On the last day of
Speaker 3: the regular season, they had to go. They were put
Speaker 3: on the Western Conference side.
Speaker 4: As the best explain to people how that happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's well, that's hard to explain, but true.
Speaker 3: Then they take on a Dynamo team, so this year
Speaker 3: they played the Crew who were the defending champions. Right,
Speaker 3: that was a two time defending Dynamo team, right, like
Speaker 3: the height of the uh and it was.
Speaker 2: A kg first match. Uh And then I was there.
Speaker 3: In Houston, like at at Robertson Stadium and John Wollneyack
Speaker 3: scores late does the thriller dance like it was insane,
Speaker 3: like the one at the time, You're like, that's the
Speaker 3: biggest upset.
Speaker 2: Maybe that could have been.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Then they go to Real Salt Lake. They get an
Speaker 3: early goal from Dave Vandenberg and then Real salt Lake
Speaker 3: I think might have hit twenty seven posts and by
Speaker 3: the way, freezing that night at uh in in Sandy.
Speaker 1: I'm shocked.
Speaker 3: And then suddenly you know, boom, they're an MLS cupuh.
Speaker 3: And on the other side is Siggi Schmidt and Columbus
Speaker 3: crew who won the Shield, who had never won Cup.
Speaker 3: It was, you know, obviously Red Bull fans like, this
Speaker 3: is it, this is our moment. We've been waiting, not
Speaker 3: nearly as long.
Speaker 2: As they've been waiting now, but they were waiting.
Speaker 3: And then yeah, that Cup final obviously didn't go their way.
Speaker 3: But that was also at at I think at the
Speaker 3: time it was the Home Depot Center. Yeah, they've gone
Speaker 3: through numerous name changes there, but I think it was
Speaker 3: Home Depot.
Speaker 2: Center at the time. It was funny. I stayed out
Speaker 2: west like it was like Salt Lake was like a Saturday,
Speaker 2: and then a lot of the availability started like on
Speaker 2: a Wednesday, and I'm like, oh, cross country home, do
Speaker 2: I just stay out here?
Speaker 3: So I just I didn't go to La early. I
Speaker 3: just stayed out in Salt Lake. Actually got to hang
Speaker 3: out a.
Speaker 2: Little bit with my boy Chris Winger uh and had
Speaker 2: a meal with him and Beckerman, and it was it
Speaker 2: was fun.
Speaker 3: It was cool, but I I didn't like, I don't
Speaker 3: think I I don't think I uh packed for l
Speaker 3: A like I packed for so like I had to
Speaker 3: do some shopping out in LA which you know, not
Speaker 3: the worst place I guess in the world to go.
Speaker 1: Well, the further away you go from downtown and you
Speaker 1: actually can have you know, like the outlet mall and
Speaker 1: Carson where you can actually pay for things and not
Speaker 1: go bankrupt shop for things. I think that's pretty much it.
Speaker 1: What are your broadcast observement observement plans for the last
Speaker 1: game of the year in Major League Soccer?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm on I'm on the desk, so working working
Speaker 2: MLS desk, and uh, you know, just hoping for a
Speaker 2: great final. Obviously, you know, we've been treated some pretty
Speaker 2: good ones these last few years.
Speaker 3: You know, do style doesn't? Do styles make the fight
Speaker 3: in this one? Obviously two very very different styles.
Speaker 2: You hope it does.
Speaker 3: But yeah, you know, in a year where everyone thought
Speaker 3: MESSI would be in it, any year that everyone maybe thought,
Speaker 3: you know, maybe the Crew would out last Messy and
Speaker 3: maybe LAFC would take on the Crew. Again, it's not
Speaker 3: the final that a lot of people maybe thought it
Speaker 3: would be or hoped it would be. But you know,
Speaker 3: I think I let's hope it's a you.
Speaker 2: Know, a really good final. So I will be on
Speaker 2: the desk among others Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 1: All right, So that means that you get to come
Speaker 1: back this time next week and we'll talk about the
Speaker 1: last game of the regular season in Major League Soccer,
Speaker 1: senior superlatives, and anything else that comes to mind. It
Speaker 1: was great to see you, my friend. I know that
