WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:03.759 Coming back in to return to the Hour of Chaos 2 00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:07.839 for the first time in far too long. We start 3 00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:10.759 Hour number two with Kendri d Saint Auburn and we 4 00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:13.839 welcome to back Chaos. Good morning, Welcome back to the 5 00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:14.400 Morning Show. 6 00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:15.599 Good morning. 7 00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:18.760 I appreciate that I'm joining the Hour of Chaos because 8 00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:21.280 you know, when I'm home for like twenty four hours 9 00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:23.399 and I go straight back into mom mode and you're 10 00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.160 trying to like prep for the next game and enjoy 11 00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.800 the beautiful day and do the school drop off and 12 00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:29.320 everything else. 13 00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.320 So I appreciate you having me on for the Hour 14 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:32.799 of Chaos. It makes perfect sense. 15 00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:37.200 So how chaotic is it for you? Mom? Comma announcer 16 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.200 Comma getting ready for road trip Colon right now? 17 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.240 Well, I will say this, like, I love my job 18 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.960 more than anything. I'm incredibly blessed to be able to 19 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:47.560 do what I get to do. But I still will 20 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:50.560 always say that the number one job is being a 21 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.759 mom because there's nothing more enjoyable. But I'm lucky that 22 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.520 it allows me to do both things. But I tell 23 00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.200 you what, when I get to also get to up 24 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.399 for another team, Red Bulls, I haven't done this year. 25 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:05.359 So whenever we get thrown like a new team, not 26 00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.480 that you're not following the league, not that you're not 27 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:09.799 paying attention to what teams are doing on a on 28 00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.799 a weekly daily basis, but to really try to deep 29 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:16.239 dive into another team, where I've had the honor of 30 00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:19.359 having Atlanta already a couple times this year, it makes 31 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.719 a difference. So you want to do both teams justice. 32 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.000 You're trying to make sure that you've got all your 33 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.200 boxes checked. You know, your i's dotted, your te's crossed, 34 00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.319 and you're trying to deep dive into everything and just 35 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.680 make sure that you've got it all straight. And so 36 00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:34.480 it's it's a blessing and occurs at the same time 37 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:36.719 to be able to get to do what we do 38 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.319 and try travel all over the place and. 39 00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:41.480 Get to see new all right, So what has study 40 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:43.519 hall been like getting ready for it? Land United and 41 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.840 Red Bull specifically from United standpoint and the chaos that 42 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:49.439 has happened with Atlanta United over the last handful of mansions. 43 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.040 Yeah, I mean, and I honestly like, when I think 44 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:56.079 about this Atlanta United team in particular, the expectations are 45 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:58.680 incredibly high, and I know I'm not, you know, making 46 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:02.439 some genius point right that everybody in Atlanta especially doesn't 47 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.079 already know and think about when it comes to this 48 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.439 team and the money that was spent and bringing Ronnie 49 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.520 dla in, and everybody's just been waiting for this team 50 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.599 to really click. You've got such an incredible striker and 51 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:15.599 Latte a lot. You've got to try to figure out 52 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.719 how to use El Moron and Miranchuck at the same 53 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.560 time in the center of midfield, if that's even a thing. 54 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.599 Can you get low of den It's say on there 55 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:26.319 at the same time as El Moron, If they're going to. 56 00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.280 Both play on the right side, do you put you 57 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:29.360 Saba on the left? 58 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.840 Like all these things that Ronnie dilin And we've talked 59 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.120 to him so many times, and you've probably heard him 60 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.599 in the media say this might be one of the 61 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.919 most difficult situations that he's been in. And you think 62 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.520 about the places he's coached, in the clubs he's coached, 63 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.759 and not because of lack of talent, but just trying 64 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:47.919 to get everybody on the same page and the best 65 00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.479 system at the right time, and everybody understanding their roles 66 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:52.439 and buying into. 67 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:53.520 What he's doing. 68 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.639 And sometimes it's hard to get a team to buy 69 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:57.879 in when you're not getting the results and you're not 70 00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.039 getting the goals more specific because I don't think people 71 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.680 thought this team was going to struggle to score. So, yes, 72 00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:07.120 they have two fantastic results in which, in my opinion, 73 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.360 they won in two very different ways. But the fact 74 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.919 that they showed that resiliency, the fact that they played 75 00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:18.759 against a tough top Eastern Conference Cincinnati side and came away. 76 00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:22.159 Then you've got Orlando City, who Oscar Pereha is like 77 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.159 a well oiled machine just kind of flies under the 78 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.800 radar on the Eastern Conference every year and gets the 79 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.919 job done. And at Landing United pulls off a win 80 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:32.759 in that one as well, sort of a never say 81 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.120 die attitude, which I think is what Atlanta United fans 82 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.800 love and want to feel good about. So I think 83 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:41.240 it's Atlanta United team. If they can string together some 84 00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:45.319 more of these positive results, good results, winning in different ways, 85 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.599 it's going to get this team on the right track, 86 00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.120 maybe just in time, because May was crazy, June doesn't 87 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.479 slow down a whole lot. But you've got international breaks 88 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.759 in there, guys going to win international duty, and then 89 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.039 you've got Leagues Cup just around the corner. So maybe 90 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:04.639 this is the right time and for this night you 91 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.439 get on the right side of things. So hopefully two wins. 92 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:12.520 Is I have a a an update, a travel update 93 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.680 from one of our other A listers who is known 94 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.279 with the initials Tyler Terrence, and he said, I just 95 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.399 got I just got to the airport. I'm in my 96 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:23.439 own chaos. 97 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.319 That sounds about right, but he kind of creates his 98 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.040 own so that's different. 99 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.160 Oh, We're going to have to talk to him about that. 100 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:36.680 A couple of A couple of other topics were Atlanta 101 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.959 United's concerned. I wanted to discuss really quickly the younger 102 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.240 players that are making their mark that have come through 103 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:47.160 the academy, specifically Matthew Edwards and Jay Fortune. In all 104 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.959 of your analysis and seeing them earlier in the year 105 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.800 and seeing how things have evolved, what have you thought 106 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:53.959 about the younger players that have made their mark? Farani 107 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.560 Dial of this season for Atlanta United, Well, I. 108 00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.480 Think anytime you give a younger player an opportunity that 109 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.399 is earned and you know, I've learned that a while 110 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.800 ago from I think it was Wilford Nanci who said 111 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.959 that first is that you have to earn the opportunities 112 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:10.680 just because you came through the academy and you're a 113 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:14.920 good player, if you're gonna bump, Oh did I lose you? 114 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:15.480 Oh you're good? 115 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:16.000 Are you there? 116 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:21.040 Yeah? Okay, it's my thing. 117 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:22.839 It says, okay, I just. 118 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.959 Wanted to make sure because it says reconnecting on my 119 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:26.319 thing here, So I just want to make sure I 120 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.399 wasn't like talking and not you weren't hearing me. 121 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.639 But that happens. Well, I feel like that with my 122 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:33.519 daughter all the time. 123 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.480 But when you think about the young players earning their 124 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.720 opportunity and Ronnie Dila giving them the opportunity and then 125 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.279 them just taking hold of it and running with it. 126 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.439 I think every time I've seen j Fortune play, in particular, 127 00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.079 he has this confidence on the ball that you would 128 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:50.519 not know he's a young player. And that's what I 129 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.879 love about these academy kids, these homegrown kids, these kids 130 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.360 that have been in these systems, and you think about 131 00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:01.240 where they started at twelve thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, two years past, 132 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.839 where they have already been in sort of these professional 133 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:07.480 environments as far as the training scenarios and what they've 134 00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:08.120 had to kind of. 135 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:09.040 Endure with pressure. 136 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:11.639 So then when they get these first team opportunities, they 137 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.240 don't look uncomfortable in any way, shape or form. Yes, 138 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.800 they're gonna make mistakes, but we've seen veterans center backs, 139 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:20.839 you know, make mistakes like you see it happened. 140 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:23.040 Mistakes happen, But I think it's. 141 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.959 More about how they recover from that mistake, how they 142 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.920 make the next opportunity count, how the next pass, the 143 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:34.360 next movement, the next the ball, all those types of things. 144 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.959 And Atlanta has been good at bringing up guys, even 145 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.879 though they have this money and these big name guys 146 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.600 that they bring in, incorporating those young guys, and so 147 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.519 I've been super impressed with what they've been able to 148 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:53.279 do in those different positions under pressure, pressure, and so yeah, 149 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:56.800 I mean I I kudos in the environments and the 150 00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.839 opportunityanies that they've been given. And that's only going to 151 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.319 bull well going forward for the club and for them 152 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:04.560 as a player wherever. 153 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:04.879 They end up. 154 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.199 The other player specifically I wanted to get your thoughts 155 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.000 on is Alexi Midanchuk and what we have seen from 156 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.959 him as asny Maestro. The running gag is is that 157 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.360 he's dropped enough dimes to give you a dollar the 158 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:21.680 last couple of matches. Each time out you see his artistry, 159 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:23.600 You see how his brain is starting to work in 160 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:25.920 three dimensions. He's been he's been given space on the 161 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.079 right hand side Saba creating problems and positional gravity. So 162 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:31.519 we're getting to see I think what a lot of 163 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.519 folks were anticipating with Midanchuk now in the last handful 164 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:35.000 of matches. 165 00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:39.079 Yeah, and I you know, I don't want to say 166 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.560 I felt bad for him, but I felt a little 167 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.800 I could feel for him in the sense that once 168 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:50.240 el Moron came back in the picture and just him 169 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.800 trying to find where he with el Moron with all 170 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.199 the fanfare and all the you know, return to Atlane 171 00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:59.959 United and what he did for the club the first 172 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.759 time around, I just felt like there was this weird 173 00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.839 sort of pressure in him having to try to fit 174 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.839 around al Moron rather than them just trying to find 175 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.240 a way to fit together. And that doesn't mean that 176 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:15.439 they both have to play as dual tends. They can't 177 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.920 occupy the same space. I think we've all learned that 178 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.959 there's sometimes early on we're making runs into the same 179 00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:22.920 space because they both want to sort of be on 180 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:27.240 the ball and creative, yet they're very different. So I 181 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.879 think from moran, Chuck has had an incredible run at 182 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.440 the beginning of the season of trying to navigate where 183 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:36.200 he fits, how he fits, how he can best play 184 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:37.919 play for this team. 185 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.639 Should he be driving forward, shouldn't around the box? 186 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.919 Should he be staying home a little bit more centrally 187 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.639 and allowing Latte a lot and al Moron and others 188 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.159 to kind of do their thing up top. So I think, 189 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.440 you know, credit to him because every interview I've also 190 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.639 heard of his he seems to just. 191 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:53.639 Be even keeled. 192 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.440 He's taking some of the pressure, he's taking some of 193 00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.559 the responsibility. And even postgame the other night, he said, 194 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:02.159 you know, you guys are all asking me, oh, is 195 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:03.600 his team on the right track now? 196 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.440 Or we have you know, this team it. 197 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.360 Really looks like the relationship, the identity, and he's like 198 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.919 kind of like, WHOA, Well, it's only two wins, you know, 199 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.440 so yes, I don't want to get too caught up 200 00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:16.720 in the fact that we've won two games, because we've 201 00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:20.000 not been good enough up to this point. 202 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.480 So let's see what we can do going forward. 203 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.159 So he seems like a very even keeled head on 204 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:27.639 his shoulders kind of guy, and I think he's getting 205 00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.600 more and more confident and comfortable on the ball and 206 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:32.960 where he wants to play and how they need him 207 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.159 to play to drive his team forward. 208 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.759 So credit to him. And he is a really fun 209 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:38.360 player to watch. 210 00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.279 I mean, and each one of those guys is so 211 00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:44.919 different in how they play and even their personalities that 212 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:46.960 I think it's just taking a little bit of time. 213 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:50.879 And fans don't like time. They want immediacly we all 214 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:51.639 understand that. 215 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.600 Yeah, and when he wears a bone Thugs and Harmony 216 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.320 t shirt for post match interviews, he gets bonus points 217 00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:58.720 from a lot of us for doing that kind of 218 00:09:58.759 --> 00:09:59.440 stuff as well. 219 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:02.480 I mean, it's almost the first of the month. We're 220 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:03.240 almost there. 221 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:12.679 Yes, absolutely, Uh a bunch of the Mommy Katy. 222 00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:15.679 Chaos. 223 00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:26.159 I want to talk about the five? Uh you end 224 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.320 up with? Uh? A back line of five is a 225 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:31.639 bit of a formation change for Ronnie. He's used to 226 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.600 the four two three one with the two sixes and 227 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.080 everything that's attached there. But going to this back line 228 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.600 of five where you have either Pedro Amador or Ronald 229 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.519 Hernandez and then you have uh Luisa Brahm, Derek Williams 230 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.000 and Derek Williams has turned into a solid figure first 231 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:47.960 time ever. He had a goal and an assist last 232 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:50.320 time out. Then you had Matt Edwards, who we got 233 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.679 into the discussion in Saba. The back line of five 234 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:57.639 seems to have at least been one of the triggers 235 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.000 for this part of success, because last time I checked, 236 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:02.679 if you ain't scoring, then you know, at least you're 237 00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.039 going to do is come out of there with a point. 238 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:06.240 When you look at this back five that Ronnie has 239 00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:09.000 come up with, what have been your your takeaways in 240 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:15.519 the short term with this new formation at the back anyway, Well. 241 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:17.960 When I looked at that, I actually felt like that 242 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:21.960 he may have found the solution, right because that allows 243 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:23.879 you to put all the players that you want to 244 00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:27.159 put on the field at the same time. And I 245 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:29.039 know he kind of had Saba. I believe it was 246 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.480 sort of almost as a wing back if I'm remembering 247 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:34.840 on the right hand side to start the game against Orlando, 248 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:38.120 and for me, that allows all your players here he's 249 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.799 been trying to find the solution and yes, you were, 250 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.759 you know, you're you're at home, so you're thinking, how 251 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.639 we going with a back five? With these attacking players 252 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:49.960 at home, we should be on the front foot because anybody, 253 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.159 anytime people here are back five, they sort of think 254 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.440 defensive minded. But I think for without Brooks Lennon in there, 255 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.840 and I think for Ronnie Daila, it was really about 256 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:00.559 how do I get all these guys in the field. 257 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.360 We cannot have Saba coming off the bench. We have 258 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:05.759 to have him in the starting eleven because he brings 259 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.000 such a spark, So I think sliding edwards inside a 260 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.759 little bit more, giving him a little bit more defensive cover, 261 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.159 having Williams alongside of him, Saba on the right being 262 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.480 able to bust down the line and create opportunities. Ranchuk 263 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.720 sitting a little bit centrally, Slee shall stay home as 264 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.879 more of your holding midfielder. I just think that he 265 00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:29.519 finally found maybe a right combination for them to be 266 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:34.200 the best attacking and not give up too many goals defensively, 267 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.519 not have too many gaps defensively, where you have some 268 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:40.559 cover in the center of the back line, that's a goal, 269 00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:44.039 that's the hope, right. But I liked it. I liked 270 00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:46.559 the way it looked, I liked the way they came out. 271 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.039 I liked getting all the guys on the field that 272 00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:51.879 he wanted to get on the field. So I think 273 00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:54.080 it was a good opportunity and al Maron may be 274 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.759 pushing a little bit higher and so they're not getting 275 00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:58.360 in each other's way. I mean, I thought it was 276 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.240 it was a good solution, and at least for the 277 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:02.879 time being, we'll see how it looks in the third 278 00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:06.000 game in a row, or at least against the Red Bulls. 279 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:06.200 On the road. 280 00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:10.879 Okay, So we have someone who is identifying themselves as 281 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:14.000 CBG's finest in the green room, and I'm going to 282 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:22.679 bring this individual into the discussion here ttyl. 283 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:29.360 Lord, he just couldn't handle me. He just couldn't handle 284 00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:33.879 me taking the opportunity here to rain on his chaos parade. 285 00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:37.320 You know something, Kindra, John texted me and encouraged me 286 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:37.759 to come on. 287 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:39.720 So I'm not intentionally trying. 288 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:41.559 To blow up your spot here, okay, because you and 289 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:43.559 I spend way too much time together as it is, 290 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:45.320 But I just I had to pop on here and 291 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:45.840 say what's up. 292 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.399 True. John's one of my favorites. 293 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:51.240 And I and you know, he was slandering CVG, which 294 00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:53.840 I just simply will not have got the security in 295 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:54.720 less than three minutes. 296 00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:59.080 Oh yeah, well, I mean I couldn't resist when you 297 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:02.080 sit there. Literally, here's here's what Tyler texts me. He goes, 298 00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:06.720 just got to airport in my own chaos. So I'm thinking, 299 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.879 you know, maybe he's gonna dial in and he's gonna 300 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:12.080 be like at the back of the security checkout line 301 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:13.840 and he's gonna turn the camera around. It's just gonna 302 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.080 be like a wall of people and he's gonna have 303 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:19.200 to call the game from Saborro at CBG or something. 304 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:20.799 I didn't know what's going. 305 00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.960 I'm then the next one. Last night, I didn't. 306 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.240 See, yes you did. Don't don't do that. You you 307 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.120 saw it. Don't do that. Don't do that. 308 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:31.200 I mean, you know, I. 309 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.240 Don't have a leg to stand on with the win out, 310 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.679 so I can't do you a stress tacking around here. 311 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.279 No, you cannot, especially since we turned our we turned around. 312 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:41.039 Check the score of the game at halftime in the 313 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.519 middle of the Columbus National game on Wednesday and the 314 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:45.720 Tea Wolves have scored thirty six points in in the 315 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.000 middle of the third quarter and Kindren just looks at 316 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:49.879 me with their jaw on the floor. But hey, listen, 317 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:51.759 you know, only the good teams are still playing at 318 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:53.480 this point in the year, so don't worry about it. 319 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.799 It's fine. Wow yeah, yeah. 320 00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:59.759 In the NBA smack on a soccer morning show? I 321 00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:00.919 like that, are we here to. 322 00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:02.679 Talk about soccer? I didn't even I didn't even know. 323 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:05.840 I did not really know when do we ever?

Absolutely true. Because Kindra 328 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:17.360 is juggling both mom duties and talking uh to me 329 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:18.960 this morning. So yeah, she's she's. 330 00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:21.120 I'm gonna I'm gonna butt out.

So there goes CBG's finest. There goes Tyler. 335 00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:32.240 So yeah, so t t decide. 336 00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:34.519 I noticed when you when you said I noticed when 337 00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:36.159 you said he was reaching out, you had to make 338 00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:38.120 sure to say you were going to use his initials. 339 00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:40.840 But then he gets t ted for Taylor twelve min 340 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:42.480 a lot, So we got to make sure to say 341 00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:45.039 Tyler Terrence because you know, one of the odds we have, 342 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:48.519 you know, to TT's in the soccer world on Apple MLS, 343 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:51.000 So we we got to make sure we clarify there. 344 00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:53.960 But yes, I I thoroughly enjoy working with Tyler. It's 345 00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.440 been a great, a great run the last I guess 346 00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:58.440 we just started last year together, so we always have 347 00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:59.000 a lot of fun. 348 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:01.919 Yeah, all right, So Red Bulls, what has study? 349 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:05.000 He well? 350 00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:08.159 Man? I mean you look at their results, right and 351 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:10.799 if it's similar to a lot of m molest teams where 352 00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:12.559 you're trying to make it out, you're trying to make 353 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:15.360 sense of it. All the ups and the downs, the 354 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.679 smackdowns that they put on some teams, the struggles that 355 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.720 they've had against others. Also another new coach, but so 356 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:25.919 fun to watch. And I am excited for this game 357 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:27.559 because I think the Red Bulls are going to be 358 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.080 fired up. I think Atlanta is on a little bit 359 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:32.480 of a run here if they can keep it going. 360 00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:34.879 So for me, when you look at this Red Bulls team, 361 00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:37.120 more guys just stepping up. I mean, look at the 362 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:39.360 game they just had. They rotated the squad a bit. 363 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:44.320 Everybody's may has been crazy. I just think this isn't 364 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.320 the same Red Bulls team that everybody is used to. 365 00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:48.679 They have more possession than we're used to. They want 366 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:51.120 the ball a little bit more. They're still the high pressing, 367 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:56.840 kind of high octane velocity, energetic type, but yet at 368 00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:59.320 the same time a little bit more composed on the ball, 369 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:01.720 a little bit more possession, a little bit working their 370 00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:05.680 way through the opposition, and maybe conserving their energy a 371 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:08.799 little more rest on the ball, not so much just 372 00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.079 pure transition, direct play. So I think this was gonna 373 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:13.960 be a great game. I'm excited to see the Red 374 00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:17.519 Bulls in person. And yeah, it's it's it's another like 375 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:19.759 game three of a three game week, so you never 376 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:21.880 know exactly how we see, who's gonna look and how 377 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:22.599 they're gonna fare. 378 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.680 Okay, So broadcasting question before you leave, when you're in 379 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:32.119 the chaos of a three match match week, how you know? 380 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:35.119 How do you prepare? Do you do it electronically? Do 381 00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:37.640 you still do paper and legal pad? How do you 382 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.200 prep when you have a chaos week like this? For 383 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:44.480 those that are wanting to be like you, when they, 384 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:46.720 you know, get into the business, how do you prepare 385 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:48.400 in a chaotic week like this? 386 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:52.240 So I don't change the way I prep in any way, 387 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.160 shape or form, I still do. Everything is handwritten for me. 388 00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.279 I have to handwrite everything otherwise it will not go 389 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.920 into this brain, which already doesn't have a huge capacity. 390 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:08.000 Like here's my Atlanta and Nighted board. So everything is 391 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:11.519 handwritten on every single player, and I have a notebook 392 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:14.400 that every call we've ever done, I go back and 393 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:19.480 I rewrite every word verbatim for every player and every 394 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:21.440 coach that we've ever done, because if I'm going to 395 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:23.359 quote them on a broadcast, I want to make sure 396 00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:26.000 to get it right first of all, and second of all, 397 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:28.799 it just has to go into my brain that way. So, yes, 398 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:31.920 it is a crazy week. I'm fortunate then I've already 399 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:35.160 done Atlanta a couple times. But even if every team 400 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:37.839 was new, like when I've done World Cups and you're 401 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.839
