Speaker 5: where there's a lot of thunderstorms. You got any you
Speaker 5: got any tornado warnings stories for when you were, like
Speaker 5: in Houston or Nashville or anything.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've had matches delayed because of you know, lightning thunderstorms. Look,
Speaker 4: I lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma for a year. In Saint
Speaker 4: Louis per year. I mean what the weather around here
Speaker 4: is tame compared to the Midwest. I mean it can
Speaker 4: get really hairy back there.
Speaker 3: So you know, I mean this is going to blow over.
Speaker 4: It's a gorgeous day out. We just got back from
Speaker 4: our walk around our neighborhood. Everybody's out with their dogs
Speaker 4: walking their dogs.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is.
Speaker 2: Nothing so gorgeous day outside, so the opposite of how
Speaker 2: you played against Houston. Yeah, well, sorry, yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I was a little blow.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying that's okay, softie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just trying to keep the atmosphere light over here.
Speaker 2: What the hell happened?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 3: Are you kidd me?
Speaker 2: That's not the performance you were looking for.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, Joe Paulo scores the chance in the
Speaker 4: first half.
Speaker 3: Let me just work on the first half. First half.
Speaker 4: Joe Paulo has that shot in training. It's eighteen yards out.
Speaker 3: Uh, that's going in nine out of ten times.
Speaker 4: Alex Roll the ball comes across to him, he strikes
Speaker 4: it really clean. The goalkeeper goes all the way across
Speaker 4: the goal.
Speaker 3: Makes a good save.
Speaker 4: I mean, their guys made a couple of plays.
Speaker 3: Our guys didn't.
Speaker 4: Second half, Albert, you know, top of the box rock
Speaker 4: Rock missed a Vali from inside the eighteen yard box,
Speaker 4: and then the killer was I mean, we gave up
Speaker 4: a couple of own goals.
Speaker 3: Knew who and.
Speaker 4: Yamar their guy does the exact same thing that Yamar does,
Speaker 4: and the ball literally dribbles like six inches off the goal,
Speaker 4: off the post.
Speaker 3: You know, it doesn't go in.
Speaker 4: That's just kind of luck we're having at the start.
Speaker 3: Of the year.
Speaker 5: Well, it doesn't sound like something that ere get all
Speaker 5: ticked off about because those those sound like things that
Speaker 5: will even out in the end, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4: I always love to have a little bit of bad
Speaker 4: luck now rather than in the rather than the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question.
Speaker 2: Get that crap out of the way now, all right, Well,
Speaker 2: let's just go back and talk about some of the
Speaker 2: injuries then you're dealing with. Let's start off with Jordan Morrison,
Speaker 2: Pedro Dela Vega. When do you expect to get those
Speaker 2: guys back?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 4: Dale Vega and Jordan actually a little bit of good news.
Speaker 4: You know, Originally I had said four to six weeks.
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be four.
Speaker 3: To five for Pedro. You know, it's not going to
Speaker 3: make this weekend, but maybe the.
Speaker 4: Follow on the weekend, and Jordan was out their ways.
Speaker 4: But Jordan eighty four percent of his max speed today
Speaker 4: at training, which was super positive. But you know, with Jordan,
Speaker 4: he's a sprinter, so we're going to keep that a
Speaker 4: little bit, you know, We're going to be a little conservative,
Speaker 4: but you know, he's probably two to three weeks out,
Speaker 4: but you know, not eight to ten weeks.
Speaker 3: Let's put it that way.
Speaker 5: Last week you told us Reid Baker Whiting would be
Speaker 5: able to get back for the San Jose game. Is
Speaker 5: that still happening?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 4: And Kim keyh he'll be on the bench for the
Speaker 4: game on the weekend. So two reinforcements right there.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, there's this rumor about this English chap.
Speaker 2: I believe Ryan Kent is his name? Is he related
Speaker 2: to Roy Kent from Ted? So anything you want to
Speaker 2: share with us first.
Speaker 4: About I mean your crack staff Jackson. I mean he
Speaker 4: should he should probably check the TSA you know, website,
Speaker 4: whatever they have.
Speaker 5: I mean, wow, check the flight.
Speaker 4: Maybe there could have been I mean, there could have
Speaker 4: been a passenger by the name of Ryan Kent at
Speaker 4: Sea TAC today.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Right Well, for fans that don't know a lot about
Speaker 2: the guy, what does he bring to the table. What
Speaker 2: kind of player is he?
Speaker 3: Well, he's a winger.
Speaker 4: So Paul Ariola, you know, he got injured the ACL
Speaker 4: We put him on the season ending ir so we
Speaker 4: there's a mechanism with him MLS that you can you know,
Speaker 4: take some of that money and re sign a player.
Speaker 4: Problem is, the transfer window is only open, uh during
Speaker 4: specific times of the year. So we needed to find
Speaker 4: a free agent.
Speaker 3: Uh. You know, we.
Speaker 4: Wanted to maybe look around the league. We couldn't really
Speaker 4: find anything. And you know, here's a young prospect, a
Speaker 4: younger guy and is well not as young, but he's
Speaker 4: in his prime twenty seven to twenty eight years old,
Speaker 4: had some good seasons at Rangers, one of the biggest
Speaker 4: clubs in Scotland.
Speaker 3: Ye kind of fell off.
Speaker 4: The fell off it a little bit because he went
Speaker 4: to Turkey to play for a Turkish club and I
Speaker 4: didn't go so well. So you know we're going to
Speaker 4: see We're going to see about him. He's a talented
Speaker 4: player and you know we might see him in a
Speaker 4: Sounder uniform.
Speaker 2: Nice. By the way, you mentioned Paul Ariola. It is Ariola?
Speaker 2: Is that correct? Is how you say his last night?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: Because Dick said Ariola Yesterday's like it's not He's not
Speaker 2: part of a boob. It's Ariola, right, gotcha?
Speaker 4: R R Eola just one of the correct.
Speaker 5: So random, Oh man, I'm just excited to I can
Speaker 5: do that. He's here, He's there, He's bleeping everywhere Ryan
Speaker 5: Kent chant when I go to the game.
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm fo fired on the nose from ECS.
Speaker 2: Coach San Jose.
Speaker 5: What do you make of their team and Bruce Arena, Well,
Speaker 5: he started off.
Speaker 3: Like a house on fire. Two games, two wins.
Speaker 4: You know, then kind of reality smacked him in the face.
Speaker 4: But Bruce is a great coach, you know, all time greatest.
Speaker 4: He's in that conversation of MLS coaches, national team coach.
Speaker 3: I love Bruce.
Speaker 4: Actually, I think he's a great guy, good character. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so everything's good there.
Speaker 3: I love matching, you know, tactics with him. He's got
Speaker 3: a good.
Speaker 4: Team, good attacking team. They've given up some goals, you know,
Speaker 4: their last outing four to one, they lost in Charlotte,
Speaker 4: you know, a tough place to play, but you know
Speaker 4: he's going to get him ready to play. And they're
Speaker 4: two forwards are exceptional Martinez and Orango Checho Orango, those
Speaker 4: two guys are they know how to score goals?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you said he was a turn with the
Speaker 2: US men's national team though, right, Arena, you know what you.
Speaker 4: Don't know I'm not part of that negativity train of
Speaker 4: the nation.
Speaker 3: Hey, don't try and hook me into that one.
Speaker 2: No, I got you. Brian Smetz was with us, and Brian,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this or not, but
Speaker 2: they imploded the Kingdome twenty five years ago today. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: you got some memories as a sounder right back in
Speaker 2: the day playing in the Dome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a couple of stories. Actually.
Speaker 4: You know, that was my first introduction to pro sports
Speaker 4: as as a seventeen year old kid. A guy by
Speaker 4: the name of Bruce Rioch came and you know, I
Speaker 4: was receiving a ball at midfield and he just comes
Speaker 4: and just nails me from behind and I end up
Speaker 4: on my butt facing up and he's looking over me
Speaker 4: and going, welcome to the nasl Son Wow. And that
Speaker 4: the crap out of me because he was a you know,
Speaker 4: he's a big famous player. And then and then you know,
Speaker 4: we shared the we shared the Kingdome with the Mariners,
Speaker 4: and we used to laugh because, you know, the Mariners
Speaker 4: would take laps after practice for like some fitness, but
Speaker 4: you know, they were kind of running kind of slow,
Speaker 4: and we had to run up and down that lousy
Speaker 4: turf for you know, six miles, and those guys took
Speaker 4: two laps.
Speaker 3: And then they said, oh we're done.
Speaker 4: We're tired, you know, we can't run anymore.
Speaker 3: So it was it was good memories back there in
Speaker 3: the Kingdome, no doubt. Man.
Speaker 2: Hey, listen, great stuff. Go get him against San Jose
Speaker 2: and we'll talk very soon. Mantoul.
Speaker 3: Okay, take care, guys. You bet.

Speaker 2: the air, now taping commercial spots man, he's got his
Speaker 2: own soundboard.
