Busy 26 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:52.200 night last night on the network. It was forty five 27 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:56.640 minute delay at Kennessel Mountain. And I know that I 28 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.760 know that this will shock each and every one of you, 29 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:03.400 but traffic in Atlanta is a pain in the you 30 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:07.439 know what. And last night for Senior Night at Kennesaum Mountain, 31 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.439 New Manchester, coming from Douglas County in a region that 32 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.599 goes from basically Roame to Douglasville and is like a 33 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.680 triangle points in between. New Manchester was forty five minutes 34 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.319 late and everything the Senior Night got pushed back and 35 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:22.919 I think we ended up getting off the year about 36 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.319 eleven o'clock. And so it was a busy night for 37 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.000 Kennesaum Mountain. They ended up getting the sweep in a 38 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:33.439 boys and girls action and they needed it to keep 39 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.919 the pee, keep the pace on the boys side in 40 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.560 region play and get into the mix and the discussion 41 00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:43.240 trying to get into the playoffs on the girls side, 42 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.039 so a big win for both Kennesaum Mountain on the 43 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.039 boys and girls sides last night against New Manchester. No 44 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:52.080 games today, but at noon we do have soccer as 45 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:56.319 in Session and we will catch up with our friends 46 00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.000 at Jefferson and we will catch up with our friends 47 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.000 in Meta and maybe a couple of others.

We'll see who shows up 49 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.759 and however long they're there, and so we'll discuss everything. 50 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.520 Soccer's in Session presented by our friends at Kaiser Permanente 51 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.879 will take the tour of the high school game and 52 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.439 we'll go from twelve to one.

And then you have 156 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:19.480 Landing United in NYCFC on Saturday night, and then you 157 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:21.720 have the twos in Chattanooga, which reminds me we probably 158 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.439 need to catch up with Chris Nugent and find out 159 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.480 what's going on with Chattanooga FC as they get ready 160 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:28.839 for the matchup with it Lanty United too at the 161 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:33.360 Fraction on Sunday night.

That's the real important, the real important 167 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.159 terminology is the things from our buddy Ben Jacobs and 168 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.440 for Britzia Romana. We actually do know now the price 169 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.360 tag that folks are going to be at the price tag, 170 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:02.480 but the the hoosy what's it's the payouts that you're 171 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:08.360 gonna get for everything going on involving the FIFA Club 172 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:12.679 World Cup if you win it, in addition to taking 173 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:16.559 the uh not the Interstellar? What was the movie with 174 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.639 Jody Foster and when she goes through the time portal 175 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.120 and she it's the spinning the spinning hamster wheel that 176 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:25.879 goes three hundred and sixty degrees. 177 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:29.279 I can't think of it. What's the Jony Foster movie? 178 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:35.720 It's not Interstellar, it's the it's the uh filmography. It's 179 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.159 the one where she was in outer space or not? No, 180 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:45.679 not no, not that no, no, Uh, where's my IMDb 181 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:53.080 little help? Jody Foster filmography? Okay, so it was Jody Foster. 182 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.159 Where's my filmography? 183 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:56.600 Uh? 184 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:02.440 Not Eligium, not Carnage, Motherhood, not Flight plan. 185 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:03.200 I don't think it was. 186 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.759 No, it wasn't flight plan contact and contact was where 187 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.240 like they had the big spinning wheel and everything.

Uh 376 00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:32.720 so then what would you do for Well, for ny CFC, 377 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:34.559 you could probably do a pigeon droppings kit. 378 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:39.640 Oh that's not where I was going. I like it 379 00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:42.519 because why not crap on New York City. 380 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:44.359 That's what they call they call themselves the Pigeons. 381 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:48.839 Yeah, I was gonna say, like an actual skyline Well, hey, 382 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:49.960 let's go with the pigeon. 383 00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.240 Dropping So you said it's like the Yank the Yankee 384 00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:54.559 Stadium U twelve kid or something, and make it, like 385 00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:57.039 you twelve size the kit to where it's like a 386 00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:59.799 youth small and that's the only size that comes in 387 00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:01.160 as kind of a riff on NYC. 388 00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:03.880 Just making a baseball jersey with the Yankee pinchin. 389 00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:06.839 Yeah, well hey that would probably sell, And that probably 390 00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:08.680 would and you'd have to do a Mets version for 391 00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:10.960 when they go and play at City Field, and then 392 00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:13.319 you'd probably have to do a Red Bulls version for 393 00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:14.359 when they go play at SI. 394 00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:15.920 Yeah. This is true. 395 00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:18.920 So now that you've had a couple of days to digest, 396 00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.319 and I know that you and the fan base and 397 00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.839 the viewership over it to SNS have had the chance 398 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.240 to kind of digest what happened with f C Cincinnati 399 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:29.839 and thanks to our buddy own goal getting a point 400 00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:32.240 out of it. What are some of your big takeaways 401 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:33.519 now that you've had a couple of days to think 402 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:33.960 about it. 403 00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:38.759 You know, this was a Going into this game, I 404 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:44.279 thought it has the potential to raise more questions than answers. 405 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:49.200 I really thought, you know, you had you were going 406 00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:54.160 to see a lot of potential changes in terms of 407 00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:56.839 like where players you know, did really well where maybe 408 00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:59.240 they didn't. I thought you had two players that absolutely 409 00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:00.640 needed to have a big game because it was a 410 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:05.519 golden opportunity, and that was Ran Chuck and Shonda Silva. 411 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:09.799 Saba getting pushed over to the right. Obviously, that's one 412 00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:12.319 of the big big stories. I thought, this is by 413 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:17.160 far his best game of the season so far. But 414 00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:19.480 I think as far as like the overall results, I 415 00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:22.960 think it's fair, if not a little frustrating. I mean, 416 00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:28.039 you you know, you give up a free kick in 417 00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:33.920 really dangerous territory, and then to add insult to injury, 418 00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:39.440 the ensuing deflection comes off the person who committed the 419 00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:41.279 foul that led to the free kick, and it's a goal. 420 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:46.000 It is what it is, though that that happens. I'm 421 00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:49.440 not super concerned about that. The second goal by Cincinnati 422 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:51.160 was a little more frustrating because it was just such 423 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:56.000 disorganization by Atlanta United. But then on the other on 424 00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:58.200 the other hand, I mean, you had a phenomenal heads 425 00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:04.200 up play by cam In Togashi from Sava and then 426 00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:11.400 a finish by Lot that was way more difficult than 427 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:13.759 he made it look. So you have a really good 428 00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:16.000 goal by both sides, and then you have, of course 429 00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:19.079 the on goal at the end to pull the equalizer. 430 00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:23.160 That was luck. Both teams have a good goal, both 431 00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:26.039 teams have a kind of a lucky goal. Whatever. I 432 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:29.200 think a point is fair for both sides, because I don't. 433 00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:31.960 I mean, I think both both teams had moments where 434 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.440 they probably deserved to win, and both had moments where 435 00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:35.519 they probably deserve to lose. 436 00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:39.000 You had a lot of absences for both teams, whether 437 00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:41.279 it was for injury or international duty or what have you, 438 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:43.880 And for Cincinnati it was less absences, but it was 439 00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:47.400 in key positions, or you didn't have den K, you 440 00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:50.200 didn't have Miles. Miles of status was kind of up 441 00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:52.720 in the air because of injury, having been pulled after 442 00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:57.799 thirty and then his traditional sub Teenahadibi. I don't know 443 00:22:58.039 --> 00:23:00.680 how Hdibi is going to be in middle age, but 444 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:03.319 you know teenage of dB is on national team duty. 445 00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:06.799 So Alvis Powell playing out of position. Nick Hagland, who'd 446 00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:09.880 only played a handful of minutes at FC Cincinnati two 447 00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:11.039 is being thrown into the. 448 00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:11.720 Fray at the back. 449 00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:14.640 So there's a There are a lot of dynamics that 450 00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:18.240 play here for a bunch of different reasons, and it 451 00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:22.359 came down to those depth minutes and those depth individuals 452 00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:26.839 that Ronnie Daila, Chris Henderson, Garth Logerway had the trust 453 00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:29.640 in either coming up through the academy, Will Riley coming 454 00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:31.640 back as an example of that, Matt Edward's being another 455 00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:34.319 example of that, or then finding someone like Toga She 456 00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:39.160 who you come in and I don't know how many 457 00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:44.160 people have it, you know, compute how heads up a 458 00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:44.960 play that is. 459 00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:48.039 We see it a lot of times overseas. 460 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:50.440 In play where okay, you know we got to do 461 00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:52.720 something on the rush, and so someone goes in. You're 462 00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:54.960 confident even if you didn't touch it. You sit there, 463 00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:56.759 you're confident that your's you go and make the throw 464 00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:58.720 and then something keeps going. So to gay She, I 465 00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:01.920 think did a really underrated thing that we don't see 466 00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:04.119 a lot of for whatever reason here in the US, 467 00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:05.759 and it ended up contributing. 468 00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:05.720 To the goal. 469 00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:10.200 Yeah. I have been on a like a one man 470 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:14.599 came in Togashi hype week based on I mean I 471 00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:16.680 like Tokushi, I really do not. I mean not just 472 00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:18.640 because of what he did in this game, but I 473 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:21.599 just think the energy and I've said it on here before, 474 00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:25.279 the energy and kind of discipline that he brings is 475 00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:29.079 just it's it's kind of refreshing. And I talked about 476 00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:32.960 it in spaces and then on Sunday after everything, like 477 00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.039 when I see a play like that, it's so simple, 478 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.559 but it is fundamental soccer. It is something that you know, 479 00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.400 like coaches try to beat into their you know, ten 480 00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.519 or twelve year old's heads literally like over and over 481 00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:53.559 again when you're a kid, because especially back then, you 482 00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:57.160 know when you're that age, you look you're trying to 483 00:24:57.160 --> 00:24:59.319 win the game, and part of winning the game might 484 00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:04.279 be catching the other team off guard, you know, kind 485 00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:04.880 of kind of. 486 00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:07.920 Not working quickly off us as alpha set piece situation, 487 00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:10.519 playing it short instead of taking the thirty eight minutes 488 00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:12.160 to sit there and set it up in direct traffic, 489 00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:14.279 something like that. A quick throw being assertive in those 490 00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:16.319 kinds of situations, all those quick thinking things. 491 00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:18.640 Yeah, yeah, And I mean, you know, Atlanta and most 492 00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:20.640 teams typically they're gonna have your you know, maybe a 493 00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:24.160 midfield or full back they could throw in. But it's 494 00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:26.240 it's one of those things that if the opportunity to 495 00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.240 presents itself, take the throw in, like you see. And 496 00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:32.880 and also I gotta give credit to him too, because 497 00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:35.119 I know, excuse me. 498 00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:37.519 Go ahead and go ahead and hydrate, go for it. 499 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:43.000 Yeah, I'm about to the throw in. I think there 500 00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:45.119 were some people saying that it came off you know, 501 00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:48.480 came in whatever, like you don't wait, played to the 502 00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:52.240 freaking whistle. So there's another fundamental pick the ball up. 503 00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:55.759 Take the throw in because you see that Saba is 504 00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:57.559 making a run and you only have one guy standing 505 00:25:57.559 --> 00:25:59.799 in front of you. He's wide open. Can't be offside 506 00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:03.400 on throw in. Take it quickly, let's go. Don't wait 507 00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:05.039 for Brooks Lennon to work his way up there so 508 00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:07.200 you can drop the ball to him and then figure 509 00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:10.160 it out like no, go Like this is this is 510 00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:12.480 fundamental soccer stuff. And it makes me happy when I 511 00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:16.839 see a professional player do fundamental things because fundamentals in 512 00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:20.640 any sport. And I'm not saying that this encapsulates like Cayman, 513 00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:28.440 but fundamentals can make a an average player way way 514 00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:31.039 way above average, you know, if you do the fundamentals right, 515 00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:34.599 and it's simple. Like the fact that we're having a 516 00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:37.279 conversation about a freaking throw in in a in a 517 00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:39.880 professional soccer match is is kind of insane because you 518 00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:47.359 just don't see stuff like that often, like just heads 519 00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:50.839 up play. I really enjoyed like just his his wherewithal 520 00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:53.480 to come in, you know, especially kind of coming in cold, 521 00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:58.759 not too too long before that and and saying hey, 522 00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:00.960 like let's go, and and so I don't know, I 523 00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:02.960 just I was really impressed with kind of his work rate. 524 00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:05.920 But then uh yeah, just his ability to kind of 525 00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:10.039 know when to continue the tempo and continue to push 526 00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:11.680 things because there is a time to slow the game 527 00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:14.000 down and throw in. That's not the time, and so 528 00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:15.319 I thought he read that perfectly. 529 00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:18.319 Yeah, I mean when you have I mean, think of 530 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:20.279 it like a boxing match. You know, when when you 531 00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:22.799 have when you're standing in the center of the ring 532 00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.480 and you hit that jab or you hit that uppercut 533 00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:29.200 and it causes your opponent to go back on their 534 00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:31.799 heels a little bit. That's not the time to sit 535 00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:34.079 there and go, Okay, I've got him going back into 536 00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:35.880 the ropes. I think I'll try and set him up 537 00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:39.359 with No, that's when if he's backtracking, that's when you 538 00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:41.400 sit there and you chase after you lunge with the 539 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:43.039 straight jab, and you sit there and you try to 540 00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:44.799 knock him through the ropes and knock him out of 541 00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:46.480 the ring. That's not something where you're sitting there and 542 00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:49.079 it's like, okay, oh, what do I do now I've 543 00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:51.440 got him on his heels. No, that's when you push. 544 00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:54.400 And you got to see that with Togashi with something 545 00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:59.720 that is fundamentally unappreciated. I think in being aggressive off 546 00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:01.519 of three roll in lake to match, when you're chasing 547 00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:02.440 after an equalizer. 548 00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:07.279 Yeah, like it's it's it's simple things like I mean, 549 00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:09.640 you know, fundamentals like I'm gonna keep saying it, but 550 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:13.720 it's just I think it's just refreshing because you don't 551 00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:15.640 always see that. And it's not just in Atlanta thing. 552 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:19.480 I mean in a lot of professional sports. You know. 553 00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:24.640 I think sometimes players think that the talent is just 554 00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:26.759 what can can keep them afloat. But if you take 555 00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:29.519 talent and then you combine it with just sticking to 556 00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:32.119 your roots and sticking to the fundamentals, like those two 557 00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:34.200 things are a deadly combination. But I think so many 558 00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:38.960 players get so caught up in the work rate part 559 00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:40.880 of it, like the working side of like being a 560 00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:44.079 professional athlete, that you go in you know, you get 561 00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:46.519 in your routine, you go to the gym, you go 562 00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:49.039 do the drills that you're told to do, and sometimes 563 00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:51.119 you kind of forget to like think on your own 564 00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:54.039 like you did when you were a kid, and maybe 565 00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:56.279 deviate from the plan a little bit because it's it's 566 00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:01.759 doing something fundamental and almost I think work that out 567 00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:05.519 of players in the modern game, and I think that's unfortunate. 568 00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:10.160 So it also says something too about Kyman Togashi with 569 00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:13.599 you know, he lived in Japan, he played in the 570 00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:17.920 j League for so long. The cultural differences there are 571 00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:22.039 a part of it, Like you take something in Japanese 572 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:23.759 culture in general. I'm not just talking about soccer, but 573 00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:28.920 you take something basic and you do it to perfection. 574 00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:33.319 And I know, I feel like we're making a really, really, 575 00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:35.240 really big deal about something as simple as a throw in. 576 00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:37.880 But that's what it's all about, right It's it's about 577 00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:40.519 being aware of what's going on, about having your focus 578 00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:43.400 one on the game that's in front of you. And 579 00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:46.480 if the entire team would have that same mindset about 580 00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:49.480 focusing for one hundred percent of the game, this team 581 00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:51.079 would probably be undefeated right now. 582 00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:56.000 Wallpass Wednesday here on SDHAM and today's Walpass Wednesday is 583 00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:58.240 brought to you by the letters Tyler Tyler Pilgrim from 584 00:29:58.319 --> 00:30:01.039 SNS here in our number one and Tyler Terren's joining 585 00:30:01.119 --> 00:30:03.880 us at ten thirty. Dylan Butler will be joining us 586 00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:05.640 at the top of the hour to discuss everything as 587 00:30:05.640 --> 00:30:08.640 we kind of steer our discussion to Major League Soccer 588 00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:11.599 because of the absences that we had with Atlanta United, 589 00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:13.599 that meant that folks had to step up and step in. 590 00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:18.640 Matthew Edwards continued to step in and at right back, 591 00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:21.240 I mean at right center back. Basically he was part 592 00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:22.640 of the center back pairing. He was on the right 593 00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:26.680 hand side inside because no Steon gregorson. And then you 594 00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:30.319 had Will Riley, whom we've known since his time with 595 00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:32.960 the twos. You're sitting there and going, Okay, he's gonna 596 00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:36.400 if he continues his progression, he's really going to turn 597 00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:40.279 into something. Goes to Stanford, comes back, and by a 598 00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:43.160 lot of metrics, the conversations out there that it was 599 00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:45.440 by far one of the best starts that you could 600 00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:49.279 have seen from anyone in an Atlanta United uniform coming 601 00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:52.200 up being a young and having that kind of a start. 602 00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:54.680 Will Riley, by the way, if it wasn't for his 603 00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:56.599 yellow card, I'm fairly certain he would have had the 604 00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:58.759 highest soface score rating that went to SABA by the 605 00:30:58.759 --> 00:31:03.240 way point six. Here's all the different columns that Will 606 00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:06.880 Riley checked in on other than ninety minutes played, and 607 00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:10.680 we'll get to that separately. There was actually an XA. 608 00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:13.440 He did have the possibility of an assist eighty two 609 00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:17.759 touches eighty two percent passing irony not not escaping me. 610 00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:21.279 There two key passes one for three on the dribble 611 00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:25.480 nine of sixteen on his ground duels won, his only 612 00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:31.599 aerial duel fouled, was fouled five times. Yep, five times. 613 00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:34.799 Once again with Suinda Mendoza. That's another topic of conversation. 614 00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:39.759 Two clearances, three blocks, four picks, three total tackles and 615 00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:43.680 fouled five times. That's hitting it in every single category 616 00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:46.839 for Will Riley back in the matchup against Cincinnati. 617 00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:52.519 I thought, honestly, from the moment the opening whistle blue, 618 00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:54.640 I mean we were doing our watch along at the time, 619 00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:56.640 so I was watching this, you know, with a handful 620 00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:59.400 of people, and he was the one I wanted to 621 00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:01.519 focus on. I mean, you always have to keep an 622 00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:03.279 eye on the guy that's getting his first m last 623 00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:05.519 minutes right. And then of course Matt Edwards, which I 624 00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:07.880 got a really sidebar Matt Edwards, like I thought, he 625 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:10.799 actually did a really, really good job. He's gonna get dinged. 626 00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:12.680 Of course, the story's going to be about the stupid 627 00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:17.799 free kick. But like when you're you know, fourth or 628 00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:19.960 fifth guy in line as a center back who's not 629 00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:21.880 really a center back, even though he's played it before. 630 00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:24.839 Have you done this before? Yeah? 631 00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:28.119 Okay, yeah, go ahead, even though you're not supposed to 632 00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:30.640 be there. Technically like whatever, I'm not. I'm not mad 633 00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:32.440 at Matt at all. I thought he did. He did 634 00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:36.839 a solid job, made a mistake, got punished on it. 635 00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:40.599 It is what it is, Will Riley, though, I thought 636 00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:43.839 he just it wasn't You know. Sometimes you see players 637 00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:50.640 come in and their their intro, their debut, and they 638 00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:55.160 look good based on I think just the sheer adrenaline 639 00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:59.640 and moment. You know, like they rise to the occasion 640 00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:03.559 just on their athleticism and their excitement, and they also 641 00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:07.400 can make mistakes because of those same things. But I 642 00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:10.000 thought Will Riley, I think he did that. But I 643 00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:15.079 think he also played very intelligently. He played like a 644 00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:20.680 mature midfielder and a calm midfielder, which kind of goes 645 00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:22.079 against what I was just saying. But I think like 646 00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:26.480 in moments where he needed to make the smoother pass 647 00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:32.400 or the sometimes the riskier pass, sometimes the safe pass, 648 00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:34.400 just to kind of play out of pressure, he was 649 00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:36.960 doing all those things right. I thought that was very impressive, 650 00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.440 because you know, you tend to think all right first 651 00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:41.279 in a last minutes, this is going to get kind 652 00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:43.039 of helter skelter, It is gonna get a little crazy. 653 00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:45.920 But I thought Will throw to a level of maturity 654 00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:47.960 that I don't think people were expecting. I mean, again, 655 00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:50.599 we've seen him, you know before, coming up through the 656 00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:53.559 pipeline standing for everything else. But I think even by 657 00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:55.759 those standards of like people that have seen him before, 658 00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:58.839 I thought this was like very impressive by will. 659 00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:04.000 And you add to that the fact that he gets 660 00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:08.199 a yellow card in the twenty seventh minute, in the 661 00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:14.079 decisional chaos that was referred to as Rassindo Mendoza in 662 00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:19.679 the middle twenty seventh minute, he gets a yellow and 663 00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:23.559 I know that there was a train of thought that, Okay, 664 00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:27.519 it's his first start, you know, and outside of listening 665 00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:30.719 to Ronnie Dila postmatch where diala where coach was like, 666 00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:33.000 why would I sub him off, I'm sure that there 667 00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:36.519 was that trepidation by folks. Okay, let's get to the 668 00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:40.480 half million. Buh has been injured. It looked like Mattea's 669 00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:42.960 click started to warm up, but it didn't look positive 670 00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:46.079 and so that wasn't necessarily an option. So you you 671 00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:49.039 bring in Tokashi is a part of it instead all 672 00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:52.599 of these mitigating factors that are there and you're trying 673 00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:56.719 to figure out, Okay, clutch change, gears, hit the gas. Okay, 674 00:34:56.760 --> 00:34:58.519 we're in second. Now what do we do? Do we 675 00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:01.639 put it in neutral for a little bit. He played 676 00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:07.519 sixty two minutes on a yellow card in his first 677 00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:10.719 start in Major League soccer. I think that you can't 678 00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:14.199 sit there and ignore either. You mentioned the calmness that 679 00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:17.280 he approached it with. I mean a lot of folks 680 00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:20.039 would probably sit there get that yellow in the game 681 00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.880 state that we were in, and you're like, Okay, was 682 00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:25.360 that yellow? Was it orange? Do I need to do 683 00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:27.320 I need to back off? Do I need to you know, 684 00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:29.960 be less of who I am. Will Riley navigated the 685 00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:33.039 extra sixty minutes, got to the half, and then got 686 00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:36.960 through the second half, And I mean it was the 687 00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:39.559 navigation he had also, I thought was stellar. 688 00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:43.039 Yeah, I agree, And I think that's that's part of 689 00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:44.679 it too, Like I mean, should you have had the 690 00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:48.880 yellow in the first place, no, whatever, but you got 691 00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:50.400 one right, and then you got to deal with and 692 00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:54.920 especially you know, a defender, a midfielder having it yellow 693 00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:56.880 is a little probably a little more dangerous than maybe 694 00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:01.360 you know, a striker or a winger because you're gonna 695 00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:06.119 start getting picked on. And as a guy getting his 696 00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:09.440 first in last minutes. I think you did see Cincinnati 697 00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:11.239 maybe push him a little bit, but I thought he 698 00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:13.920 he kind of merged into it well. I thought he 699 00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:18.239 handled it very well. And I mean it was just 700 00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:20.800 like I said, it was very mature performance. And for him, yeah, 701 00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:25.159 to not let the kind of the monkey on the shoulder, 702 00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:28.559 yellow card waiting there, you know, kind of whispering in 703 00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:30.800 his ear like ha ha, you're so close to a 704 00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:33.639 red not messing with him like he was able to, 705 00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:35.440 you know, kind of brush the monkey off and say, 706 00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:37.760 all right, like we're good. I'm just gonna keep playing 707 00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:40.519 my game and maybe play it a little smarter, because 708 00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:42.000 I do have to be a little more careful. But 709 00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:45.440 I'm not gonna let that, you know, I'm not gonna 710 00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:48.960 let myself overthink it into being ineffective as a midfielder. 711 00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:51.440 I thought he was still just as effective after the 712 00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:55.599 yellow than he was before. So I just thought, like, 713 00:36:57.079 --> 00:36:59.719 you know, sometimes you look at like a game state 714 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:01.639 and then you look at a player's game state and 715 00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:03.760 it kind of does you know, a wave from the 716 00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:06.679 heartbeat or whatever. I thought will in the best and 717 00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:08.880 I mean this in the best possible way, it went 718 00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:10.719 up and then he flat lined and it was just good, 719 00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:13.840 you know, it was just a good, steady performance all 720 00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:16.320 the way across. And I thought, I just I was 721 00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:18.000 truly impressed. Bob, I liked it a lot. 722 00:37:18.360 --> 00:37:22.320 The Sign of the Times si n Yeah, Sign of 723 00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:22.760 the Times. 724 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:27.320 And keV c in the twitch pitch is mentioning how 725 00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:30.000 it is not the easiest task to keep a. 726 00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:33.559 Evander in check. And you had. 727 00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:36.320 Once again Tristan mulliam Baugh, who was out after forty 728 00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:39.400 You're having to navigate, Okay, what's the assignment, Who's going where? Who, 729 00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:41.599 what's the spacing? How are we doing all this? You 730 00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:44.039 mentioned Matt Edwards. Well, Riley is you know, right there 731 00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:47.519 in the heart of all of that discussion, and you 732 00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:49.880 have all of these folks that have been called upon, 733 00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:53.559 you got tapped, you're in, and I think you navigate it. 734 00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:54.079 Well, let me go. 735 00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:57.480 So now that we're on Evander's thought pattern here, let 736 00:37:57.519 --> 00:37:59.360 me let me check. And with Evander, by the way, 737 00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:01.679 he ended up with two goals, a nine point eight 738 00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:04.199 on SOFA score. I don't know, I didn't know if 739 00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:07.920 that was possible, but okay, nine point eight, two goals. 740 00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:12.039 But your XG plus x A, your your x output 741 00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:14.719 was only a point six eight, But you end up 742 00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:17.000 with a goal off a deflection on a set piece 743 00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:22.320 and then finding space while folks are trying to figure out, okay, 744 00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:24.440 do I mark, do you know? Do I push? Do 745 00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:27.239 I press? Evander finds the space and gets it into 746 00:38:27.239 --> 00:38:29.719 the net. So four shots on target, two shots blocked, 747 00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:33.719 the other two technically go in. One of five on 748 00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:36.360 the dribble. I think that speaks a lot to the 749 00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:38.960 defense for at Land United. One of five on the dribble, 750 00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:42.679 eighty two touches, eighty two percent, passing, two key passes, 751 00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:45.920 only one cross, two long balls. On the day, he 752 00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:49.280 only wins half of his duels. He was nine of 753 00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:52.119 nineteen lost both in the air understandably, so nine of 754 00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:54.800 seventeen on duels on the ground, which I think is interesting. 755 00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:59.679 Twenty times twenty two zero more than nineteen not quite 756 00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:04.599 twenty one twenties where you split your hand. Twenty times. 757 00:39:04.639 --> 00:39:08.599 Evander had possession taken from him by a Land United 758 00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:11.519 defense in that game on his eighty two touches, so 759 00:39:11.559 --> 00:39:15.000 that's basically twenty five percent of the time that there 760 00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:19.079 was a touch. Evander loses possession from Atlanta United's defense. 761 00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:21.719 Three fouls on the day. He was fouled four times, 762 00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:24.119 he was offside once, he had four tackles, and he 763 00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:26.119 had one time where he was dribbled past. So that's 764 00:39:26.119 --> 00:39:28.559 the numbers for Evander and they still give him a 765 00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:30.559 nine point eight because of the two goals on the board. 766 00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:33.480 The scores are so skewed. 767 00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:39.239 We so let me see here why yes they are. 768 00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:46.679 Let me see because I'm curious. We you know, when 769 00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:51.679 we do our our postmatch like our Sunday show or 770 00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:52.519 reaction show. 771 00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:57.880 Reaction, Yeah, I want to hear from you, we. 772 00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:03.079 Use fat mob okay, for no particular reason, but we 773 00:40:03.239 --> 00:40:05.639 just do. They gave him a nine point two. 774 00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:08.639 Okay. 775 00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:11.719 I just think you know, we're going back to Matt 776 00:40:11.800 --> 00:40:13.679 Edwards as well. You know there's twenty times that he 777 00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:17.280 was dispossessed or whatever it was. Matt Edwards was the 778 00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:21.599 reason for quite a few of those. Yes, And I 779 00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:26.880 thought it was interesting too, you know Avander was. I mean, 780 00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:30.079 he's playing as your traditional you know, attacking midfielder. He's 781 00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:32.960 getting involved. I mean in that part he did really well. 782 00:40:33.079 --> 00:40:36.199 Of course, he conversed the chances great. I mean, he 783 00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:40.519 did those things right. But after I think it was 784 00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:46.480 after the first goal, yeap, especially Matt started stepping way 785 00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:51.599 higher up to kind of go after Evander. And I 786 00:40:51.639 --> 00:40:54.400 haven't watched the second goal back enough to like determine 787 00:40:54.440 --> 00:40:56.599 exactly where it all went wrong. It definitely, you know, 788 00:40:57.199 --> 00:41:01.199 there was a some miscommunication there, but I thought like 789 00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:05.079 he he made it a point after that first goal 790 00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:07.760 to kind of put a little bit more pressure. And 791 00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:11.159 I know a lot of those dispossessions came from him 792 00:41:11.239 --> 00:41:14.840 kind of getting in Evander's face. And you know a 793 00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:20.000 guy that is technical as him two to you know, 794 00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:22.639 be one of five on the dribbles and get dispossessed 795 00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:25.000 so many times. Like that's like you said, that says 796 00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:30.079 a lot for Atlanta's defense. And and and again, Matt 797 00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:33.280 Edwards had a pretty good game minus the one really 798 00:41:33.280 --> 00:41:33.719 bad acts. 799 00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:35.840 What did fot Mob give Matt Edwards? 800 00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:38.920 By the way, fought Mob gave him. 801 00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:41.440 Because Sofa's care went harsh and gave him a six 802 00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:42.039 point four. 803 00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:47.599 Well, Fought Mob was much harsher eight wow. Okay, he 804 00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:56.320 was unfortunately the lowest rated Atlanta player. The lowest rated 805 00:41:57.760 --> 00:42:00.039 SENSI player was Powell for obvious. 806 00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:04.679 Reason six point five here on SOFA score. But uh, 807 00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:08.840 Pedro Amador was rated lowest on SOFA score to six 808 00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:11.559 point three. The back line for Atlanta United, just for 809 00:42:11.639 --> 00:42:15.400 comparison's sake, Amadora six to three, Derek is six point six, 810 00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:17.559 Matt Edwards with the yellow card dropped to a six 811 00:42:17.559 --> 00:42:19.480 point four, which to me means that if he didn't 812 00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:21.199 have the yellow he'd probably be like a six six 813 00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:24.280 or a six seven, and Brooks Lennon a six point five. 814 00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:27.599 So the lowest on the back line was Amador according 815 00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:28.400 to SOFA score. 816 00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:32.039 Uh pop mob, I mean, of course, like I said, 817 00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:34.000 Matt with the five point eight and Amador at a 818 00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:36.639 six point one, so he's pretty low. Then Williams at 819 00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:38.800 a six y five, Lennon at a six six, and 820 00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:43.440 then Brad Guzanne getting totally shafted with a six point two. 821 00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:48.320 Six point eight on soface score. So Brad four saves 822 00:42:48.360 --> 00:42:51.360 on the day, one punch clear, two saves from inside 823 00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:54.199 the box, fifty two touches, fifty six percent passing twenty 824 00:42:54.199 --> 00:42:56.480 five to forty five, eight of twenty six on long balls, 825 00:42:56.519 --> 00:42:59.679 two clearances for Brad on the day that gave him 826 00:42:59.719 --> 00:43:04.559 six point eight for SOFA score in the rankings. But 827 00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:09.360 another topic that I wanted to discuss with you. Was 828 00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:12.559 Saba on the right, and then because of the absences 829 00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:15.440 that we had with Atlanta United, that meant that you 830 00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:17.840 still had a lot of your veteran presence up top. 831 00:43:18.320 --> 00:43:21.840 Latte a Lot obviously with a goal that I'm thinking, 832 00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:24.519 I need to go back and look, but it was 833 00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:28.239 pretty blank and close on the second one that was 834 00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:30.599 waved off, and that meant that you had miran Chuk, 835 00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:34.400 Latte Lot and Saba with Shande on the left hand side, 836 00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:38.159 and because of Shandei on the left, I think Saba, 837 00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:42.320 don't I don't recall a whole lot of overlap with 838 00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:45.480 Shanday and Saba. I thought Saba stayed at home most 839 00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:47.079 of the day. Is my memory right there? 840 00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:47.840 Yeah? 841 00:43:48.039 --> 00:43:50.719 I think so and so Saba staying on the right 842 00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:51.239 hand side. 843 00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:53.800 Highest rated player according to SOFA score with a seven 844 00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:57.760 point six causing all kinds of havoc on the defensive 845 00:43:57.840 --> 00:44:02.719 left with Angele who once again in the color of 846 00:44:02.760 --> 00:44:07.679 your Own Adventure h foul calling and rule book Lucas 847 00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:11.159 Single got an early yellow and I was saying, okay, 848 00:44:11.239 --> 00:44:16.000 run at him, run at Lucas Single now now now now, now, literally, 849 00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:18.159 I'm like you know Mickey telling Rocky to go left 850 00:44:18.159 --> 00:44:22.920 handed in Rocky two, now, you know, And so Saba 851 00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:26.320 punches a seven point six active on the attacking right 852 00:44:26.400 --> 00:44:28.559 and making sure that Nick Hagland, who hadn't had a 853 00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:30.679 whole lot of minutes an angle on a yellow, really 854 00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:34.159 couldn't step out to challenge for fear of picking up 855 00:44:34.199 --> 00:44:37.480 that second yellow or getting fouls in the bad spots 856 00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:38.320 if your Cincinnati. 857 00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:41.840 Yeah, and that that was always going to be kind 858 00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:43.239 of one of the keys to this game, right like 859 00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:46.760 for both teams, like go after the inexperienced guys or 860 00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:49.039 the guys that are playing at a position or whatever. 861 00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:54.719 I mean, no, now, yeah, you have to Saba and 862 00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:57.960 the entire right side I think just was lights out. 863 00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.360 I thought they were really, really good. I mean, we've 864 00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:02.480 thought about Kayman Tokushi when he came on. He got 865 00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:06.000 screwed entirely on fop mob by the way, one percent 866 00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:08.480 he got a six point two. I'm not happy with 867 00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:13.679 that at all. But you know, I think there was 868 00:45:13.719 --> 00:45:15.599 a lot of link up, a lot of connection on 869 00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:17.920 that right side, and then on the left side, I 870 00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:20.039 feel like it was almost null and void. It just 871 00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:24.920 didn't it didn't really happen for Shandi and maybe part 872 00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:27.840 of that is due to Pedro maybe not having the 873 00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:31.760 best game, and uh, you know, I think there's something 874 00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:35.199 to be said, maybe maybe Ammador with Riley kind of 875 00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:37.440 drifting over there a little bit, and then Silva, like 876 00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:42.599 those guys have had zero time together at all, So 877 00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:44.599 I think that there's definitely something to be said there. 878 00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:49.440 I just I wanted to see Shanday just step up 879 00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:51.639 a little bit more, you know, and like really grab 880 00:45:51.719 --> 00:45:54.760 that that left wing position and and make his own again. 881 00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:58.920 And you know, it's not that he had a terrible game, 882 00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:03.440 he was just kind of not not as effective, not there, 883 00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:06.760 like I think everybody wanted to see him, yeah, especially 884 00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:08.880 because like you know, during the week he talked a 885 00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:11.440 lot about you know, I mean, this is his opportunity, 886 00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:13.760 this is his moment, you know, to kind of get 887 00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:17.559 back in. Of course, edone's out for a while, but 888 00:46:17.679 --> 00:46:20.039 you had your attackers. It's not like it was the 889 00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:24.440 previous year's traditional trip to Ohio where you have no 890 00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:29.400 attackers and then maybe one like Sean Day. You had 891 00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:31.639 your target man, you had your other gual on the right, 892 00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:34.119 you had your number ten playing like you had opportunities 893 00:46:34.159 --> 00:46:37.119 to make something happen, and it just wasn't an effective 894 00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:42.400 down the left. But I think Saba, I think that 895 00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:46.199 right side just connected really really well. In the future, 896 00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:49.000 you just have to be a little mindful of not 897 00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:53.559 letting that become the main way that you attack, because 898 00:46:53.559 --> 00:46:55.840 then it becomes predictable, right Like, you've got to do 899 00:46:55.880 --> 00:46:57.400 it down both sides, you've got to do it through 900 00:46:57.400 --> 00:47:01.760 the middle. So but Saba a best game of the 901 00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:02.760 season before. 902 00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:06.320 And we got the news yesterday that right now it 903 00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:09.079 looks like Tristan is out for three weeks with a 904 00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:10.320 sprain and a strain. 905 00:47:10.639 --> 00:47:12.719 That's not the pair that you want when you're playing. 906 00:47:14.039 --> 00:47:15.400 You know, when you're playing. 907 00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:17.079 As an athlete, you don't you don't want that kind 908 00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:19.119 of a you don't want that kind of a pair 909 00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:21.119 when you're playing athletic poker. That's not the kind of 910 00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:23.159 pair that you want, a sprain and a strain. So 911 00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:27.239 you're looking at three weeks, which once again presents opportunity. 912 00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:31.719 Ah co host, Yeah, she's leaving, so she wanted to 913 00:47:31.719 --> 00:47:33.880 come say by you say bye. 914 00:47:36.079 --> 00:47:36.719 There you go. 915 00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:39.280 You got got some voice out of her today. 916 00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:39.840 There you go. 917 00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:44.960 Peace out girl, Scout but I mean it's so, so 918 00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:47.079 what what does what does the boss think? What does 919 00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:51.360 the co host think about what happened with Tristan being injured, 920 00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:54.440 out for three weeks and now creating more opportunities. 921 00:47:55.519 --> 00:47:57.079 Say, that's not good for Tristan. 922 00:47:59.119 --> 00:48:02.719 Okay, you know, well that's that well I think I 923 00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:05.159 think I got it. That's not good for Tristan out. 924 00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:07.079 I thought that's what I heard. 925 00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:13.960 I think, you know, it's frustrating from Tristan's perspective because 926 00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:19.280 he's kind of been in a resurgent, you know, a 927 00:48:19.320 --> 00:48:21.159 couple of games. This has been an opportunity for him, 928 00:48:21.199 --> 00:48:24.920 and he's he's been really solid, I think, And I 929 00:48:24.960 --> 00:48:26.440 mean you saw it when it happened, right like he 930 00:48:26.960 --> 00:48:28.840 made the tackle and then he went to go get up, 931 00:48:28.840 --> 00:48:30.880 and he kind of got up like at a weird angle, 932 00:48:31.039 --> 00:48:33.000 and you just knew when you saw it, like, oh, 933 00:48:33.039 --> 00:48:34.480 you know, at first I thought was his ankle. 934 00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:36.320 I thought so too, because I thought he reached for 935 00:48:36.360 --> 00:48:39.239 a different ankle than it was, like the left ankle 936 00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:40.199 and the right knee. 937 00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:42.360 And I was like, okay, that's not a good combination. 938 00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:45.880 Yeah, yep. And then but I think, and then when 939 00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:49.159 you're you're sitting here watching him get carted off. It's like, 940 00:48:49.880 --> 00:48:54.639 that's that's never a good sign. So, I mean it's frustrating. Thankfully, 941 00:48:54.639 --> 00:48:57.519 this team does have midfield depth, if they've got any 942 00:48:57.559 --> 00:49:01.360 depth for sure, And you know, I think you've got 943 00:49:01.599 --> 00:49:05.000 guys that are they're coming in and you're not missing 944 00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:07.079 a whole lot, Like they're bringing their strengths, but they're 945 00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:11.679 not really exacerbating any weaknesses. I think the midfield to me, 946 00:49:11.719 --> 00:49:14.079 has not been the problem at all for the team 947 00:49:14.119 --> 00:49:16.519 this season. It's actually been pretty solid in my opinion. 948 00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:20.360 Yeah, I mean, you look at what we've seen when 949 00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:23.800 Mattea's click has been healthy with bart and his relationship 950 00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:27.719 with Click, and Tristan embracing what Ronnie Dila wants him 951 00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:30.960 to do in those positions, Jay Fortune continuing to evolve. 952 00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:34.159 So I mean you're looking at that group right there 953 00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:36.039 and you're like, yeah, okay, at one hundred percent, I'm 954 00:49:36.079 --> 00:49:38.320 digging that group in the midfield and what Ronnie Dila 955 00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:38.920 wants them to do. 956 00:49:39.760 --> 00:49:44.760 Yeah, because I think, yeah, I think one of the 957 00:49:44.760 --> 00:49:48.679 focuses this year coming into the season. You know, and Dala, 958 00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:50.639 I'm not saying that. Dallas stated this I'm kind of 959 00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:53.079 just based on everything we saw in the preseason, everything 960 00:49:53.119 --> 00:49:57.199 that we did talk to Dyala about, going back to 961 00:49:57.199 --> 00:49:59.440 the Chattanooga game, play the ball forward, stop playing the 962 00:49:59.480 --> 00:50:03.119 ball backwards. I think you're seeing maybe a little bit 963 00:50:03.159 --> 00:50:06.440 more of some of these more attack minded midfielders being 964 00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:09.280 told like, hey, take a few more risks, play the 965 00:50:09.320 --> 00:50:11.480 ball forward, play in the guy. Like you have attackers 966 00:50:11.519 --> 00:50:14.360 up top who are really really good and really really talented, 967 00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:18.760 play to them. Don't always play the safe ball. And 968 00:50:18.800 --> 00:50:21.559 I think, like especially a Tristan Mayamba, when he came 969 00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:24.199 in twenty twenty three, that was a breath of fresh 970 00:50:24.239 --> 00:50:26.880 air because it was like, oh, look at him. He's mobile, 971 00:50:26.920 --> 00:50:30.679 he's everywhere. He's you know, playing the ball forward. He's 972 00:50:31.599 --> 00:50:34.119 trying to play the connector does it always come off perfectly, No, 973 00:50:34.199 --> 00:50:36.440 but he's at least, you know, making those passes forward. 974 00:50:36.639 --> 00:50:38.840 I'd much rather you turn the ball over when you're 975 00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:40.599 playing it to your striker then when you're playing it 976 00:50:40.639 --> 00:50:45.199 back to a center back. So this has kind of 977 00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:48.039 been like a couple of games of him just being 978 00:50:48.079 --> 00:50:49.800 really solid, and I think at the end of the day, 979 00:50:49.800 --> 00:50:52.800 like three weeks for what we saw on the field 980 00:50:53.119 --> 00:50:55.239 is actually not that bad, because I was very concerned 981 00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:57.320 it was gonna be much longer. But then, you know, 982 00:50:58.280 --> 00:51:00.880 I just hope it doesn't ruin. You know, his his 983 00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:03.159 kind of flow that he had going on. But then 984 00:51:03.159 --> 00:51:04.480 the rest of the guys, you know, I mean we 985 00:51:04.519 --> 00:51:07.719 talked about Will Riley. Do I think you're just gonna 986 00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:10.519 automatically see him get tons of minutes? No, But I 987 00:51:10.519 --> 00:51:14.320 think like that was an amazing showing and it shows 988 00:51:14.360 --> 00:51:16.239 a lot of promise for him to develop, you know, 989 00:51:16.280 --> 00:51:22.840 going forward, Slish is coming back. I've seen a lot 990 00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:30.320 of Bartek Slish criticism. I don't know, man, I just 991 00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:33.519 I think low Ki he's probably been one of the 992 00:51:33.559 --> 00:51:36.159 better players in the field this season. I haven't had 993 00:51:36.199 --> 00:51:39.119 a problem with with Bartek. And then I think click, 994 00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:42.239 Like when he came on in this game, I actually 995 00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:47.960 thought he wasn't the best. But also he wasn't supposed 996 00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:50.119 to maybe play as many minutes as he did. He's 997 00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:52.400 coming off the flu, he's coming off a quadricep injury. 998 00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:56.000 Like you know, so if you're getting what you're getting 999 00:51:56.679 --> 00:52:00.960 out of you know, injuries, uh, players being out, you know, 1000 00:52:01.000 --> 00:52:05.119 players maybe playing it half of their their capacity, like whatever, 1001 00:52:05.519 --> 00:52:07.639 take all these factors in in the midfield is still 1002 00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:10.079 not your problem. That's a good sign. 1003 00:52:10.719 --> 00:52:14.559 So yes, I would stipulate to that. And by the way, 1004 00:52:14.599 --> 00:52:17.559 a note from Mike Conti. We now know the man 1005 00:52:17.639 --> 00:52:20.599 in the middle for the match against NYC on Saturday. 1006 00:52:21.559 --> 00:52:25.719 We know that Kyle Atkins is your var and the 1007 00:52:25.760 --> 00:52:31.559 man in the middle for the Pigeons and the Five Stripes.

Well it's a frosted orange kid. 1074 00:55:49.320 --> 00:55:53.559 Who am I kidding? But no, that looks the numbers 1075 00:55:53.599 --> 00:55:55.440 are a little you know, a little dicey because they 1076 00:55:55.480 --> 00:55:56.920 look like some of them are upside down. 1077 00:55:57.679 --> 00:56:00.000 But no, that if they did that for a while, 1078 00:56:00.119 --> 00:56:01.360 warm up Jersey. 1079 00:56:02.679 --> 00:56:08.039 Oh, they could charge like nine thousand dollars and people 1080 00:56:08.079 --> 00:56:13.280 would get that. Oh that's fantastic. Oh my god, that's great. 1081 00:56:13.960 --> 00:56:16.400 KEVC bringing in the point about everybody else that is 1082 00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:21.159 also getting minutes. Also the point with kefs once again 1083 00:56:21.239 --> 00:56:26.280 for the U twenties, Luke Brennan. Knowah Cobb, DCQ all 1084 00:56:26.320 --> 00:56:30.079 getting minutes with the us U twenty national teams in 1085 00:56:30.079 --> 00:56:33.000 the U eighteens as well, but yeah, DCQ getting minutes, 1086 00:56:33.039 --> 00:56:35.480 No a Cob getting minutes, got starts. Luke Brennan got 1087 00:56:35.480 --> 00:56:36.599 a start, and I think he had a goal in 1088 00:56:36.639 --> 00:56:39.440 the tournament early on, this early on, less than a 1089 00:56:39.440 --> 00:56:42.679 week ago. So yeah, Luke Brennan knowah cob DCQ all 1090 00:56:42.719 --> 00:56:46.440 getting minutes for the us U eighteens and U twenties. 1091 00:56:47.400 --> 00:56:52.280 So that's also definitely a part of it. Will would 1092 00:56:52.280 --> 00:56:55.440 buy the varsity and make the burgers bigger, and what 1093 00:56:55.480 --> 00:56:56.559 you want to do, you want to keep them the 1094 00:56:56.559 --> 00:57:01.880 same so people buy more burgers, maybe offer four packs 1095 00:57:01.880 --> 00:57:05.440 and six packs or something like that. That's maybe what 1096 00:57:05.880 --> 00:57:08.239 that's maybe what you would you do something like that. 1097 00:57:09.400 --> 00:57:12.840 But yeah, no consensus when it comes to bart and 1098 00:57:13.159 --> 00:57:16.039 recent matches played forty five against Gibraltar and had a yellow. 1099 00:57:16.039 --> 00:57:19.679 But that's the thing I think that uh, that you 1100 00:57:19.719 --> 00:57:26.320 look at someone like with like Bartik Slish and you're seeing, Yeah, 1101 00:57:26.360 --> 00:57:29.320 you're you're seeing a more physical side. He's not afraid 1102 00:57:29.360 --> 00:57:31.159 to mix it up, not afraid to get in the piles, 1103 00:57:31.239 --> 00:57:33.719 not afraid to sit there and let let everybody know 1104 00:57:33.760 --> 00:57:34.320 what he's thinking. 1105 00:57:35.599 --> 00:57:35.880 Uh. 1106 00:57:35.920 --> 00:57:41.039 Also the Chu Chu Darby in the Open Cup April second, Yes, Uh, 1107 00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:43.800 the back and forth there we mentioned Chattanoogae f C. 1108 00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:46.800 The fact that they're playing Red Wolves at Fort Finley 1109 00:57:46.800 --> 00:57:49.519 in the next round of the Open Cup. As we 1110 00:57:49.639 --> 00:57:53.679 mentioned with Kaylor Hodges yesterday, that will be an adventure 1111 00:57:54.440 --> 00:57:58.840 an absolute adventure. Chattanooga FC, Chattanooga red Wolves, next round 1112 00:57:58.880 --> 00:58:02.280 of Open Cup. You want to talk about dividing the 1113 00:58:02.280 --> 00:58:06.199 section of the Southeastern United States, You get that divided, 1114 00:58:06.760 --> 00:58:07.079 all right? 1115 00:58:07.159 --> 00:58:09.320 Our number two and it's. 1116 00:58:09.119 --> 00:58:13.119 Time to bring in our traditional hour number two person, 1117 00:58:13.480 --> 00:58:16.159 Dylan Butler hanging out with us at MLS Soccer dot com. 1118 00:58:16.199 --> 00:58:20.840 And Dylan is lighted. You've got lights on in your set? 1119 00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:25.039 Sound I need to hear you. 1120 00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:28.559 Sorry, it's literally just the sun. It's just natural lighting. 1121 00:58:28.639 --> 00:58:30.400 Oh literally, Okay, I thought that. 1122 00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:32.519 You No, I didn't bring in the special No. 1123 00:58:33.000 --> 00:58:34.760 Okay, I didn't know if you had a key light 1124 00:58:34.840 --> 00:58:36.480 or a fill or anything you had you had a 1125 00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:39.119 key over there in the studio to the Butler. 1126 00:58:39.800 --> 00:58:41.880 But no, that's natural lighting. 1127 00:58:41.800 --> 00:58:43.280 Serial natural lighting. 1128 00:58:44.400 --> 00:58:48.920 Okay, well, now that you are naturally lighted, yeah, uh 1129 00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:52.159 coming up, And I'm not gonna I'm not gonna. I'm 1130 00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:53.239 not gonna waste any time. 1131 00:58:53.599 --> 00:58:53.920 All right. 1132 00:58:54.119 --> 00:58:57.280 It's gonna be a NYC coming down here to take 1133 00:58:57.320 --> 00:59:02.880 on at Land United next time around, and and NYC 1134 00:59:03.840 --> 00:59:06.840 away from a home and I guess I can include 1135 00:59:07.360 --> 00:59:10.159 both venues since they've played at both Yankee Stadium and 1136 00:59:10.480 --> 00:59:13.920 at other places not named Yankee Stadium this year for 1137 00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:17.679 home matches. They score at home, but they don't score 1138 00:59:17.719 --> 00:59:21.400 on the road. Is it just as easy as sitting 1139 00:59:21.400 --> 00:59:24.199 there and saying, okay, it's a you know, it's roadies 1140 00:59:24.280 --> 00:59:26.239 and things like that, and it's always tougher on the road. 1141 00:59:26.559 --> 00:59:30.159 Or is there something to it where there's a hiccup 1142 00:59:30.199 --> 00:59:32.400 in the system someplace and they've got to reboot the engine. 1143 00:59:32.440 --> 00:59:34.039 What's going on? Do you think? Yeah? 1144 00:59:34.119 --> 00:59:36.239 No, I don't, I don't. I mean, look, they went 1145 00:59:36.320 --> 00:59:42.280 to they went to Columbus right last week, and they 1146 00:59:42.280 --> 00:59:44.920 were under pressure for so much of the game. So 1147 00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:50.719 credit to them to get not only a point on 1148 00:59:50.760 --> 00:59:53.559 the road, but also a clean sheet, which I think 1149 00:59:53.599 --> 00:59:57.480 it was their first one in fifteen matches. So you know, 1150 00:59:57.559 --> 01:00:00.599 not that I need to tell Atlanta folks about how 1151 01:00:00.800 --> 01:00:05.440 how important clean sheets are because uh, because they've also 1152 01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:10.280 obviously been conceding goals. But yeah, listen, I don't, you know. 1153 01:00:10.320 --> 01:00:12.360 I think it's it's just it's based on the match, 1154 01:00:12.639 --> 01:00:17.400 and I think you know that they will I would 1155 01:00:17.440 --> 01:00:22.519 suspect again be put under pressure by by Atlanta. I think, uh, 1156 01:00:23.480 --> 01:00:27.639 you know, it's the it's the Ronnie Daila. You know 1157 01:00:27.840 --> 01:00:29.400 Darby if you as will. 1158 01:00:31.400 --> 01:00:32.440 Yeah, mm hmm. 1159 01:00:33.960 --> 01:00:36.320 But but it sounds like to just from from from 1160 01:00:36.840 --> 01:00:38.719 you know, I don't know. I mean you you're you're, you're, 1161 01:00:38.920 --> 01:00:45.159 you're uh ground floor of this. But I guess you 1162 01:00:45.199 --> 01:00:50.719 know some mixed reactions to his Atlanta to start. 1163 01:00:50.800 --> 01:00:52.800 I guess, well, but and I think a lot of 1164 01:00:52.840 --> 01:00:56.760 it has to do with the uh, the pressure of expectation. 1165 01:00:57.639 --> 01:00:59.360 I think a lot of it has to do with that, 1166 01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:04.199 where you're going, Okay, we know what you've done. We 1167 01:01:04.280 --> 01:01:07.480 know that the front office has spent all of the 1168 01:01:07.760 --> 01:01:10.000 all of the denaro that they have and bringing in 1169 01:01:10.039 --> 01:01:11.960 all of this talent. You drop twenty two in Latte 1170 01:01:12.039 --> 01:01:15.199 lot and he's tied for third and MLS and scoring. 1171 01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:17.199 But then you have all of the other dps that 1172 01:01:17.239 --> 01:01:19.159 you're spending money on, you bring them to tayas click. 1173 01:01:19.280 --> 01:01:23.679 DC United got fleeced because they had to. They had 1174 01:01:23.719 --> 01:01:24.719 no choice in the matter. 1175 01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:25.480 Uh. 1176 01:01:25.920 --> 01:01:30.440 Literally, the way that I've phrased it is that Landy 1177 01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:32.719 United went to d C and was like, well we 1178 01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:36.360 got a pack of Marlborough Reds, we have some singers, 1179 01:01:37.199 --> 01:01:40.760 and we've got some big league chew And the front 1180 01:01:40.800 --> 01:01:44.880 office for DC was like, yeah, okay, because they were 1181 01:01:44.920 --> 01:01:47.920 they were over the financial barrel and pretty much had 1182 01:01:47.920 --> 01:01:51.079 to take the sofa pizza that was being offered by 1183 01:01:51.280 --> 01:01:54.360 Landy United's front office to take Mataya's Click off their hands. 1184 01:01:54.519 --> 01:01:57.079 And they're still responsible for all of that, or for 1185 01:01:57.159 --> 01:01:59.719 most of the salary for mateyas Click. And so the 1186 01:01:59.760 --> 01:02:02.679 ex expectations of oh, okay, you're bringing him a taus 1187 01:02:02.719 --> 01:02:05.199 click from DC. We know what he's done in the past, Oh, 1188 01:02:05.320 --> 01:02:07.320 latte lot, We've seen all the highlight videos in the 1189 01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:10.400 huddle tapes of what he did at Middlesbrough. Uh, all 1190 01:02:10.440 --> 01:02:12.880 of these all of this money that's been spent in 1191 01:02:12.920 --> 01:02:18.239 bringing folks in Garth Logerway now and Chris Anderson, Okay, 1192 01:02:18.280 --> 01:02:20.960 it's it's their club. They it's we see what you're doing. 1193 01:02:21.039 --> 01:02:23.800 This is yours. You're putting your stamp on it. So 1194 01:02:23.840 --> 01:02:27.119 that pressure of expectation in adding in all of these pieces, 1195 01:02:27.679 --> 01:02:29.440 I think that that's that's got to be a big 1196 01:02:29.480 --> 01:02:31.320 part of this. It's like, all right, this is your club, 1197 01:02:31.599 --> 01:02:33.599 we see what you're doing. All right, now it's time 1198 01:02:33.599 --> 01:02:36.840 to boogie. And so, you know, the the idea of 1199 01:02:37.880 --> 01:02:39.880 Ronnie Dilly coming in as new head coach. He has 1200 01:02:39.880 --> 01:02:43.639 a philosophy and I and I understand the impatience. But 1201 01:02:43.679 --> 01:02:46.280 at the same time, I would sit here and go, 1202 01:02:47.360 --> 01:02:49.760 it's got to have time to cook in game state. 1203 01:02:49.840 --> 01:02:51.719 It can't just be And this is what Daila has said. 1204 01:02:51.760 --> 01:02:53.679 It's like they've known each other for like two weeks, 1205 01:02:53.719 --> 01:02:56.079 I mean two months, been together for two months trying 1206 01:02:56.079 --> 01:02:58.440 to institute a system and a four two three one 1207 01:02:58.480 --> 01:03:00.960 which we really have never seen before formationally out of 1208 01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:02.719 the blocks, you know, when when the whistle blows, so 1209 01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:04.880 that all of these new things that have to come together, 1210 01:03:05.559 --> 01:03:08.679 combined with the pressure of expectation, I think is where 1211 01:03:08.719 --> 01:03:09.639 you're coming from here. 1212 01:03:10.039 --> 01:03:12.519 Yeah, I think they're in a better you know, even 1213 01:03:12.559 --> 01:03:16.559 though there was the results haven't been what fans would 1214 01:03:16.559 --> 01:03:21.239 want early on. I think, uh, I think you know, 1215 01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:23.239 I think, you know, just a little bit of patience 1216 01:03:23.400 --> 01:03:26.320 for for for for folks in Atlanta. I think, uh, 1217 01:03:26.679 --> 01:03:32.639 you know, considering the the roster and the investment made 1218 01:03:32.679 --> 01:03:36.440 and and you know, I liked we talked about this before. 1219 01:03:36.519 --> 01:03:38.960 I've liked Ronnie dila As when he was a coach 1220 01:03:39.119 --> 01:03:43.239 at n CFC. So you know, I think, uh, I think, 1221 01:03:43.480 --> 01:03:45.480 you know, there's thirty clubs in MLS. I think there's 1222 01:03:45.519 --> 01:03:50.400 probably maybe half of those teams at least that that 1223 01:03:50.840 --> 01:03:55.679 kind of wish they had Atlanta's problems right now. 1224 01:03:54.639 --> 01:03:59.679 What is your best Ronnie Dla's story from his time 1225 01:03:59.760 --> 01:04:03.199 up NYC to describe the kind of individual that he 1226 01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:04.880 is and the kind of coach he is and what 1227 01:04:04.960 --> 01:04:06.400 he demands from his players. 1228 01:04:06.679 --> 01:04:07.920 Yeah, you know, I'm gonna be fair with you. 1229 01:04:08.079 --> 01:04:08.159 Like. 1230 01:04:08.280 --> 01:04:13.079 So that was, uh, that was at the tail end 1231 01:04:13.199 --> 01:04:16.920 of like of of where I would be like going 1232 01:04:17.000 --> 01:04:20.800 regularly to the training and and and be out at 1233 01:04:20.800 --> 01:04:24.679 their complex every week. But if you remember, like I went, 1234 01:04:26.239 --> 01:04:28.599 that was right at the start of COVID. So I 1235 01:04:28.679 --> 01:04:33.400 went to they had a pre season thing in the city, 1236 01:04:35.440 --> 01:04:37.000 like a media day where I where I got to 1237 01:04:37.199 --> 01:04:38.880 kind of hang out and talk with them. I thought 1238 01:04:38.880 --> 01:04:42.679 it was a really good dude. They played a they 1239 01:04:42.679 --> 01:04:48.800 played a Champions League at the time match at Red 1240 01:04:48.800 --> 01:04:52.519 Bull Arena, and that's when everyone was like looking at 1241 01:04:52.519 --> 01:04:55.320 texts like wait, Tom Hanks, what what COVID? What is 1242 01:04:55.360 --> 01:04:55.639 going on? 1243 01:04:56.039 --> 01:04:56.239 Yeah? 1244 01:04:56.760 --> 01:04:59.760 And then the world shut down. So after that it 1245 01:04:59.800 --> 01:05:04.840 was everything was virtual. Everything was zooms. So you know, 1246 01:05:04.960 --> 01:05:07.440 he was he was unfortunately and I felt so bad 1247 01:05:07.480 --> 01:05:11.480 for him, right because he had just moved here. He 1248 01:05:11.559 --> 01:05:17.239 was living uh, he and his wife and child, they 1249 01:05:17.239 --> 01:05:19.760 were living over in UH. I think they weren't hoboken 1250 01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:23.920 across the river. Uh, and he was he just wants 1251 01:05:23.960 --> 01:05:25.719 He's like, I can't wait, It's gonna be great New 1252 01:05:25.800 --> 01:05:30.400 York City and then everything shuts down. So so I 1253 01:05:30.639 --> 01:05:33.239 felt bad for him in that sense. Uh, you know, 1254 01:05:33.280 --> 01:05:35.480 and then obviously, you know, it took so long for 1255 01:05:35.559 --> 01:05:37.679 things to open up again. But he was on you know, 1256 01:05:37.719 --> 01:05:42.119 I guess that unfortunately, you know, I, you know, Vieira 1257 01:05:42.519 --> 01:05:48.719 and Christ before him, and Domain, like I had more 1258 01:05:48.800 --> 01:05:52.280 of a personal relationship with them face to face, like 1259 01:05:52.280 --> 01:05:57.159 in person than than than Ronnie, just because of you know, 1260 01:05:57.199 --> 01:05:58.199 a global pandemic. 1261 01:05:58.800 --> 01:06:02.719 It's a little thing called a yes. So from your 1262 01:06:02.760 --> 01:06:06.920 interactions virtual and otherwise, how was he different from the 1263 01:06:06.960 --> 01:06:10.400 predecessors there and dealing with Domain and Jason Christ and 1264 01:06:10.480 --> 01:06:13.079 Patrick Vieira, How was he different? And how long did 1265 01:06:13.079 --> 01:06:14.800 it take everybody do you think up there in the 1266 01:06:14.840 --> 01:06:18.480 tri State to get adjusted to what Ronnie who Ronnie is? 1267 01:06:18.920 --> 01:06:22.320 How he wanted to present things and philosophically, what was 1268 01:06:22.360 --> 01:06:24.320 the level of patience from what you could gather. 1269 01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:26.920 Well, I mean one thing I like, one thing you 1270 01:06:26.960 --> 01:06:31.719 know I did like about him is his honesty. Like 1271 01:06:32.119 --> 01:06:39.199 right away, he didn't pull punches with his players, you know, 1272 01:06:39.280 --> 01:06:40.960 so if there was something he was upset about, or 1273 01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:42.760 a certain player he was upset about a certain way 1274 01:06:42.800 --> 01:06:46.679 they were playing, he called it out straight away, like 1275 01:06:46.760 --> 01:06:52.880 it wasn't you know, he wasn't concerned about egos and situations. 1276 01:06:51.960 --> 01:06:54.280 Like you know he was. 1277 01:06:54.519 --> 01:06:55.039 He was. 1278 01:06:57.400 --> 01:06:57.800 You know, he. 1279 01:06:57.960 --> 01:07:03.480 Held everybody accountable for sure, so but also like you know, 1280 01:07:03.519 --> 01:07:05.679 in a different way like he was. You know, they 1281 01:07:05.719 --> 01:07:08.960 all had their own things like you know, Vieira was uh, 1282 01:07:10.519 --> 01:07:13.920 you know, just like that kind of for lack of 1283 01:07:13.960 --> 01:07:18.400 a better word, like that, you know, sophisticated, you know, European, 1284 01:07:18.639 --> 01:07:23.239 like you know, just we went out to uh some 1285 01:07:23.360 --> 01:07:27.800 French restaurant, I think in Manhattan after one of the 1286 01:07:27.840 --> 01:07:29.519 seasons he had. He had some of the some of 1287 01:07:29.519 --> 01:07:33.119 the reporters out and stuff, and uh yeah, it was 1288 01:07:33.199 --> 01:07:36.760 it was funny because like they brought over food. He's like, no, no, no, 1289 01:07:36.800 --> 01:07:37.320 you know, what. 1290 01:07:38.920 --> 01:07:39.239 Do you have? 1291 01:07:39.960 --> 01:07:43.079 You can make this right? And and uh I like yeah, 1292 01:07:43.079 --> 01:07:43.320 of course. 1293 01:07:43.400 --> 01:07:43.559 Yeah. 1294 01:07:43.559 --> 01:07:45.320 It's like we're gonna have that you guys are gonna 1295 01:07:45.320 --> 01:07:48.360 try this, You're gonna like it, so you know, and 1296 01:07:48.400 --> 01:07:50.280 then you hear the stories like when he left, you know, 1297 01:07:50.360 --> 01:07:56.119 getting buying staff like you know, watches and things like that, 1298 01:07:56.239 --> 01:07:59.440 Like just a different kind of guy, don't domein was 1299 01:07:59.480 --> 01:08:03.960 the was you know, drinking wine and and and listening 1300 01:08:04.000 --> 01:08:06.960 to jazz, going to jazz clubs in the city kind 1301 01:08:06.960 --> 01:08:10.760 of guy. And and and Ronnie, you know, like he 1302 01:08:11.199 --> 01:08:15.039 seemed like that guy that you probably really you know, 1303 01:08:15.199 --> 01:08:18.439 have enjoy a couple of beers with, right Like, but again, 1304 01:08:18.840 --> 01:08:21.199 didn't didn't have that opportunity. But I but it's you 1305 01:08:21.319 --> 01:08:26.359 got the sense that the players definitely enjoyed playing for him. 1306 01:08:26.840 --> 01:08:29.439 I think they also enjoyed his honesty as well, right Like, 1307 01:08:29.560 --> 01:08:33.520 when when you're a straight shooter, you know, like you 1308 01:08:33.600 --> 01:08:37.840 know exactly where you are, where things stands, You're you're 1309 01:08:37.880 --> 01:08:43.560 not worried about different messaging. You know, he was pretty 1310 01:08:44.439 --> 01:08:45.520 straightforward with all that. 1311 01:08:45.960 --> 01:08:48.359 And that was the phrase that popped into my head 1312 01:08:48.359 --> 01:08:51.159 when you were breaking all of this down, was straight shooter. Yeah, 1313 01:08:51.199 --> 01:08:57.520 And it's it's interesting to hear him in his press 1314 01:08:57.560 --> 01:09:03.399 conference opportunities discuss Okay, you know, we need to be 1315 01:09:03.560 --> 01:09:06.560 open and honest, and at the end of the day, 1316 01:09:06.680 --> 01:09:09.479 if there are things that have gone wrong in a match, 1317 01:09:09.720 --> 01:09:11.239 he's going to be the first person to stand up 1318 01:09:11.279 --> 01:09:12.800 and sit there and say, Okay, then I need to 1319 01:09:12.840 --> 01:09:14.920 look at me as well, because it starts with me, 1320 01:09:15.079 --> 01:09:17.720 and I need to look at me and how just 1321 01:09:17.760 --> 01:09:19.960 as much as looking at the players and how things 1322 01:09:19.960 --> 01:09:23.239 were implemented, it starts with me, and I've got to 1323 01:09:23.239 --> 01:09:25.439 look at myself here. I thought that was refreshing as well. 1324 01:09:25.840 --> 01:09:28.079 I one hundred pent I agree. I agree with that. 1325 01:09:29.359 --> 01:09:33.119 How rare is that these days where you have a 1326 01:09:33.520 --> 01:09:36.359 manager's coaches whatever, sit there and say, first and foremost 1327 01:09:36.359 --> 01:09:38.760 out of the blocks, all right, it's Harry Truman buck 1328 01:09:38.800 --> 01:09:42.039 stops here and it's on my desk, and if something's wrong, 1329 01:09:42.520 --> 01:09:44.279 I'm going to openly sit here and say it starts 1330 01:09:44.279 --> 01:09:46.079 with me, and that's where we got to look. You know, 1331 01:09:47.119 --> 01:09:49.000 you don't see folks. 1332 01:09:48.880 --> 01:09:51.439 Yeah, you hear it, well, you do hear that phrase, 1333 01:09:51.479 --> 01:09:55.319 but it's almost like a like a tongue in cheek 1334 01:09:55.399 --> 01:09:57.640 way they say it, you know, like I think back 1335 01:09:57.720 --> 01:10:02.600 to you know, maybe some like Caleb Porter talk where 1336 01:10:02.640 --> 01:10:04.800 you know, he'll say, you know, I guess, I guess 1337 01:10:04.840 --> 01:10:07.880 I've got to do better or you know where he's 1338 01:10:07.920 --> 01:10:10.039 not like straight up saying yes, you know, the buck 1339 01:10:10.079 --> 01:10:15.479 stops at me. It's like, uh, you know, so you 1340 01:10:15.560 --> 01:10:21.439 hear a roundabout way of some managers or coaches saying that, yeah, 1341 01:10:21.439 --> 01:10:22.960 I got I have to coach better, you know, like 1342 01:10:23.199 --> 01:10:26.319 it's on me. Like ultimately it's you know, it's a 1343 01:10:26.880 --> 01:10:28.600 what's the what's the other cliche? It's a it's a 1344 01:10:28.640 --> 01:10:30.399 results based business. 1345 01:10:30.359 --> 01:10:31.680 Result driven business. 1346 01:10:31.760 --> 01:10:35.680 Yeah. Yeah, So that's a dollar in the jar if 1347 01:10:35.720 --> 01:10:39.880 ever there was. I mean all the literally, if if 1348 01:10:39.920 --> 01:10:43.920 you reference yourself in third person, it's a fiver. If 1349 01:10:43.960 --> 01:10:47.399 a reporter does the how does it feel without acknowledging 1350 01:10:47.439 --> 01:10:50.000 that you're doing that, you're asking how does it feel? 1351 01:10:50.119 --> 01:10:50.399 Question? 1352 01:10:50.479 --> 01:10:54.119 Out of the blocks, and you know, because I literally 1353 01:10:54.119 --> 01:10:56.359 will sit there and say, I know it's a dollar 1354 01:10:56.399 --> 01:10:58.119 in the jar by asking this, but how does it 1355 01:10:58.159 --> 01:11:01.640 feel to do blank? So because I know instead or 1356 01:11:01.680 --> 01:11:04.439 you know, talk to me about talk to me about this. 1357 01:11:04.640 --> 01:11:06.760 Well, no I don't want it. I'm just waiting for that. 1358 01:11:06.800 --> 01:11:09.920 Like Nick saban as a as a coach, I would 1359 01:11:09.920 --> 01:11:12.319 have well, I would have wondered that one day well, 1360 01:11:12.399 --> 01:11:13.920 coach talk to me about Well, no, I don't want it. 1361 01:11:14.399 --> 01:11:15.680 I'm just waiting for that. 1362 01:11:15.680 --> 01:11:19.520 That's phrased by the I never ever say, talk to 1363 01:11:19.560 --> 01:11:22.800 me about. There's a good friend of mine is like 1364 01:11:22.840 --> 01:11:28.079 a like a legend in high school sports broadcasting up here, 1365 01:11:28.159 --> 01:11:34.479 my quick and that was, uh, he teaches broadcast journalism 1366 01:11:35.359 --> 01:11:38.720 and that's like his biggest pet peeve, Like don't ever 1367 01:11:40.119 --> 01:11:42.920 ask the question with talk to me about like just 1368 01:11:43.640 --> 01:11:46.439 you just don't do it. So like when you say that, 1369 01:11:46.520 --> 01:11:48.640 like it's like fingers on a chalkboard and hear. 1370 01:11:48.560 --> 01:11:49.960 Him it is. 1371 01:11:50.079 --> 01:11:53.239 It is When we look back at the week, that 1372 01:11:53.560 --> 01:11:58.039 was how many more questions have been added to your 1373 01:11:58.159 --> 01:12:02.079 dossier of questions so far? Are and has anything been 1374 01:12:02.119 --> 01:12:07.119 reinforced coming out of the week, because oh, we haven't 1375 01:12:07.119 --> 01:12:09.520 talked about we haven't talked about what happened in Montreal 1376 01:12:10.319 --> 01:12:13.239 with what happened with Laurent Courtois. I went on a 1377 01:12:13.239 --> 01:12:15.000 bit of a rant about it yesterday. 1378 01:12:15.520 --> 01:12:16.199 Was it in French? 1379 01:12:16.640 --> 01:12:17.439 I wish? 1380 01:12:17.680 --> 01:12:21.640 I mean, if there was a French translator available to 1381 01:12:21.720 --> 01:12:22.399 us here. 1382 01:12:22.239 --> 01:12:25.199 At the network, I probably would have would have welcomed it. 1383 01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:31.079 But you look at what's going on with Courtois, and 1384 01:12:32.520 --> 01:12:35.239 everybody I think is pointing their finger once again at 1385 01:12:35.279 --> 01:12:38.800 Joey Saputo, who is turning into George Steinbrenner if he 1386 01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:40.760 hadn't already been George Steinbrenner. 1387 01:12:40.760 --> 01:12:43.279 And when is he just gonna go ahead and take over? 1388 01:12:43.960 --> 01:12:46.479 Like well, I mean to coach, well, who's gonna want 1389 01:12:46.479 --> 01:12:46.960 that gig? 1390 01:12:48.199 --> 01:12:51.560 Because of what we continually see out of c F 1391 01:12:51.640 --> 01:12:56.239 Montreal and more specifically Joey Saputo about managers and things. 1392 01:12:56.239 --> 01:12:58.960 It's like literally, when you win your twelfth match, that's 1393 01:12:59.000 --> 01:13:01.880 when he grows tired of you and then you're gone. 1394 01:13:03.239 --> 01:13:07.720 Who in their right mind is going to go and 1395 01:13:07.800 --> 01:13:10.560 coach at CF Montreal that isn't already on the staff, 1396 01:13:10.560 --> 01:13:14.800 that wasn't let go when Laurent Curtois was was let 1397 01:13:14.840 --> 01:13:17.880 go to go oh and five out of the out 1398 01:13:17.880 --> 01:13:21.119 of the blocks.

But it's unfortunate because it's such a 1415 01:14:07.239 --> 01:14:11.920 great city, right, it's one of my uh favorite road 1416 01:14:11.960 --> 01:14:13.840 cities in MLS. 1417 01:14:14.600 --> 01:14:18.000 Great crowds. Dot Suputo traditionally a really tough place to play. 1418 01:14:18.520 --> 01:14:24.479 Yeah, yeah, you know, you you have that that kind 1419 01:14:24.479 --> 01:14:28.880 of club partnership with Bologna and in Italy, so you 1420 01:14:28.920 --> 01:14:31.960 know you can you can get some loans there the. 1421 01:14:32.359 --> 01:14:34.960 Yeah, so you figured that that cross relationship. That was 1422 01:14:35.000 --> 01:14:37.960 the easy part with Bologna is like Okay, I'm gonna 1423 01:14:38.000 --> 01:14:40.319 loan you to Bologna or I'm gonna grab somebody from Bologna. 1424 01:14:40.359 --> 01:14:41.680 I mean, it's a multi club model. 1425 01:14:41.720 --> 01:14:43.520 I get it. Yeah, that's gonna be there. 1426 01:14:43.960 --> 01:14:47.560 But you're right, it's uh the owner of that. 1427 01:14:48.279 --> 01:14:50.560 How much ish are you willing to put up with 1428 01:14:50.760 --> 01:14:53.039 as a coach, knowing at the end of the day, 1429 01:14:53.159 --> 01:14:55.960 what you may want, you're not gonna have happened because 1430 01:14:55.960 --> 01:14:57.399 of the folks looking over your shoulder. 1431 01:14:57.439 --> 01:14:58.640 The dude looking over your shoulder. 1432 01:14:58.720 --> 01:15:03.600 Yeah, I think ultimately it's it. It's the it's the 1433 01:15:04.279 --> 01:15:07.239 it's the MLS assistant. I guess that wants to get 1434 01:15:07.520 --> 01:15:11.680 head coaching, you know, get get take that next step 1435 01:15:11.720 --> 01:15:16.079 into head coaching. I suppose maybe or you know a 1436 01:15:16.119 --> 01:15:23.600 guy that coaches youth or or academy or decon division 1437 01:15:23.840 --> 01:15:26.039 like somewhere else that wants to. But you're right. 1438 01:15:26.359 --> 01:15:29.960 You know you had Tierryan Reed, you had Wilfred Nazi, 1439 01:15:31.359 --> 01:15:33.279 and you scared both of them. 1440 01:15:33.279 --> 01:15:34.319 Well, you didn't scare them away. 1441 01:15:34.359 --> 01:15:37.439 You basically they basically were just like, yeah, I'm out, fam, 1442 01:15:37.840 --> 01:15:41.359 I ain't playing with this. And it's just I mean, 1443 01:15:41.520 --> 01:15:43.640 to your point, it's gonna have to be someone who 1444 01:15:43.920 --> 01:15:46.159 is gonna sit there and see the opportunity for what 1445 01:15:46.199 --> 01:15:48.800 it is, look at the brass ring and go, yeah, 1446 01:15:48.800 --> 01:15:50.039 I need to I want to. I want a head 1447 01:15:50.039 --> 01:15:52.560 coaching gig on my resume. I can put up with 1448 01:15:52.600 --> 01:15:54.159 all the ish. So you're gonna have to have a 1449 01:15:54.199 --> 01:15:59.079 strong personality going in, and you're gonna have to win 1450 01:15:59.119 --> 01:16:01.119 the press or have a strong personality. Know that you're 1451 01:16:01.159 --> 01:16:03.439 gonna have to put up with the owner who's gonna 1452 01:16:03.439 --> 01:16:06.279 be constantly chirping in your ear. He probably goes to 1453 01:16:06.319 --> 01:16:10.159 the same ownership classes as Jerry Jones. And and you 1454 01:16:10.199 --> 01:16:13.000 know what, George Steinbrenner, did you know, It's like, it's 1455 01:16:13.079 --> 01:16:16.239 just to me. It is a great city, it is 1456 01:16:16.279 --> 01:16:20.159 a great football town. But you have to put up 1457 01:16:20.159 --> 01:16:24.479 with the ish of this owner. And I've just you're 1458 01:16:24.520 --> 01:16:27.319 gonna and I said this yesterday, and I will remind me. 1459 01:16:27.399 --> 01:16:30.439 I will remind folks again. You have two more matches 1460 01:16:30.479 --> 01:16:36.680 on the road, and it is Chicago and it is. 1461 01:16:37.199 --> 01:16:38.760 Oh gosh, who's the other one? 1462 01:16:39.039 --> 01:16:42.119 Uh? Hang on, but I but what I said was 1463 01:16:42.239 --> 01:16:47.600 I said, if if c F Montreal wins either of 1464 01:16:47.640 --> 01:16:53.479 those two matchups, then I will drink diet doctor. I 1465 01:16:53.479 --> 01:16:54.600 will drink diet mountain dew. 1466 01:16:54.640 --> 01:16:55.880 On the air, it's Columbus. 1467 01:16:55.920 --> 01:16:57.479 Is the other one? Columbus? Thank you? 1468 01:16:57.680 --> 01:17:01.319 So it's Chicago and Columbus. If you get full points 1469 01:17:01.359 --> 01:17:05.520 in either one of those matches to avoid going your 1470 01:17:05.560 --> 01:17:08.359 first seven without a win, I will drink diet mountain 1471 01:17:08.399 --> 01:17:11.159 dew in the air, and people know how repulsed I 1472 01:17:11.199 --> 01:17:12.319 am at diet mountain dew. 1473 01:17:13.199 --> 01:17:17.520 I mean, considering the clubs there, I think you're in 1474 01:17:17.520 --> 01:17:18.000 good shape. 1475 01:17:19.079 --> 01:17:21.159 Well from your lips. I mean, it's just you know, 1476 01:17:21.199 --> 01:17:24.000 from your lips to on high. But it's just and 1477 01:17:24.279 --> 01:17:27.680 you probably could barring something unforeseen. You know, when you 1478 01:17:27.720 --> 01:17:29.960 get that run of home matches, when you're back in 1479 01:17:30.000 --> 01:17:34.079 your building because of the snowfall that is finally being 1480 01:17:34.079 --> 01:17:36.920 pushed off to the side and maybe dumped inside the 1481 01:17:36.960 --> 01:17:41.159 big o' because nothing else can go on in there, 1482 01:17:40.840 --> 01:17:43.079 you're you're right in the season off. I would think 1483 01:17:43.119 --> 01:17:45.920 after the first seven matches, I would say, wouldn't you 1484 01:17:46.760 --> 01:17:50.920 are you done? Or because there are nine you look 1485 01:17:51.000 --> 01:17:53.039 for nine and you figure out what the difference is. 1486 01:17:55.520 --> 01:17:57.920 I know, I mean it's a good argument. Again. You know, 1487 01:18:00.039 --> 01:18:02.119 whenever there's teams that are trying to climb up from 1488 01:18:02.199 --> 01:18:05.520 the bottom, I always try to ask the follow up question, 1489 01:18:05.560 --> 01:18:09.840 which is and who's dropping down? And you're you're you're 1490 01:18:09.840 --> 01:18:12.439 not seeing that you're seeing improvement from from teams that 1491 01:18:12.479 --> 01:18:16.079 have been around that same area. Chicago has made improvements 1492 01:18:16.079 --> 01:18:21.239 this year. Charlotte appears to be taking that next step 1493 01:18:21.520 --> 01:18:25.279 forward as well, right into into probably the upper tier 1494 01:18:25.319 --> 01:18:28.279 of the East. We've talked about Atlanta before. They're going 1495 01:18:28.319 --> 01:18:32.399 to be better. The two New York's are gonna be good. 1496 01:18:32.840 --> 01:18:36.279 Cincinnati once they get you know, they are any center 1497 01:18:36.319 --> 01:18:41.880 back back, they're gonna be better. So yeah, so like 1498 01:18:41.960 --> 01:18:45.880 so to move up, someone has to drop down. And 1499 01:18:45.880 --> 01:18:50.039 I don't see anyone else. You know, it looks like it's, uh, 1500 01:18:50.399 --> 01:18:54.159 it's the Canadians right now combined, you know, Montreal and 1501 01:18:54.199 --> 01:18:57.359 Toronto that that are destined to to be well below 1502 01:18:57.439 --> 01:18:57.880 that table. 1503 01:18:58.119 --> 01:19:02.239 Oh well, and then I mean Toronto since since we're 1504 01:19:02.279 --> 01:19:06.039 talking about since we're talking about Canada, I think Van 1505 01:19:06.640 --> 01:19:09.319 Vancouver to me is the stunner of the three where 1506 01:19:09.600 --> 01:19:11.319 and for the good reason that they came out of 1507 01:19:11.319 --> 01:19:14.319 the blocks. You dispose of Vanny Sartini, which to me 1508 01:19:14.399 --> 01:19:17.840 was a shock. And I think Vanny's I think, just 1509 01:19:17.920 --> 01:19:20.680 chilling right now staring at the boats going up and 1510 01:19:20.720 --> 01:19:26.439 down the Western seaboard. And you bring in a manager 1511 01:19:26.680 --> 01:19:29.319 and everybody's like, oh, I don't know about this, but 1512 01:19:29.359 --> 01:19:32.399 your offense didn't change and he hasn't messed things up yet. 1513 01:19:32.800 --> 01:19:34.760 So Vancouver to me was the shock out west, but 1514 01:19:34.800 --> 01:19:39.760 in the east Toronto where you had fans who were 1515 01:19:40.079 --> 01:19:44.199 expletive deleted referencing in sigie, you put him in the 1516 01:19:44.239 --> 01:19:46.079 lineup and then you end up getting some offense. But 1517 01:19:46.159 --> 01:19:48.760 Robin Fraser is in just as tough a situation, if 1518 01:19:48.760 --> 01:19:52.800 not tougher, just because of the the mishmash of a 1519 01:19:53.000 --> 01:19:55.880 mess that is there in Toronto FC. One of the 1520 01:19:55.880 --> 01:19:57.840 good guys in the league, and he's stuck too. 1521 01:20:00.159 --> 01:20:05.960 Yes, he certainly is, and it's through no fault of 1522 01:20:05.960 --> 01:20:10.239 his own, just it's it's the cards that he was 1523 01:20:10.279 --> 01:20:13.760 dealt right, like it was, you know, here's you know, 1524 01:20:14.359 --> 01:20:21.359 they were so top heavy on their offster with you know, 1525 01:20:21.439 --> 01:20:25.760 multiple year deals that Yeah, it's you know, it's hard 1526 01:20:25.760 --> 01:20:27.920 to kind of climb out of that. Yeah. 1527 01:20:28.000 --> 01:20:28.640 Yeah, it's just. 1528 01:20:30.119 --> 01:20:31.840 That you look at it and you're going, man, you've 1529 01:20:31.880 --> 01:20:35.520 got all this, you have some talent here, there's some firepower, 1530 01:20:36.279 --> 01:20:40.479 but it's like, I don't know, it's like make trying 1531 01:20:40.479 --> 01:20:42.720 to make a dagwood sandwich with everything that you've got 1532 01:20:42.800 --> 01:20:44.399 in the fridge that you're trying to make sure that 1533 01:20:44.600 --> 01:20:47.479 you use before the expiration dates all sit there and 1534 01:20:47.560 --> 01:20:49.000 unify on you, and you sit there and you have 1535 01:20:49.039 --> 01:20:50.359 the sandwich, and you take the first bite of the 1536 01:20:50.439 --> 01:20:53.760 dagwood and you're like, what did I do here? That's 1537 01:20:53.760 --> 01:20:54.920 what that looks like to me. It looks like a 1538 01:20:55.000 --> 01:20:58.760 dagwood sandwich with an expiration date that just passed. That's 1539 01:20:58.800 --> 01:21:02.079 Toronto for me? Who else? Who else is on? Who 1540 01:21:02.079 --> 01:21:05.720 else is on your ish list? Right now? When when 1541 01:21:05.720 --> 01:21:08.800 it comes to issues, the issues in the ish list 1542 01:21:08.880 --> 01:21:10.680 for you coming out of week number five. 1543 01:21:14.960 --> 01:21:18.640 Coming out of the week, well, New England didn't play, 1544 01:21:18.680 --> 01:21:19.399 so they didn't lose. 1545 01:21:19.640 --> 01:21:23.079 True, And uh, the the NWSL franchise has a new name, 1546 01:21:23.119 --> 01:21:24.560 by the way, that came out this morning. 1547 01:21:24.960 --> 01:21:25.560 I didn't see that. 1548 01:21:25.560 --> 01:21:27.920 What is Boston Legacy FC. 1549 01:21:28.600 --> 01:21:29.760 The Legacy o FC. 1550 01:21:29.920 --> 01:21:31.359 Of course, Boston. 1551 01:21:31.039 --> 01:21:35.399 Legacy FC, so that they are no longer a Boston 1552 01:21:35.479 --> 01:21:40.600 Nation they are now a Boston Legacy Okay, And uh, 1553 01:21:40.640 --> 01:21:42.840 I mean, San Jose, we kind of knew what we 1554 01:21:42.840 --> 01:21:45.319 were getting. I think you're gonna score a lot up 1555 01:21:45.399 --> 01:21:46.760 You're going to score a lot of goals, or you're 1556 01:21:46.760 --> 01:21:48.159 going to give up a lot of goals. We've seen 1557 01:21:48.199 --> 01:21:50.520 both sides of that so far with Bruce Arena. 1558 01:21:50.239 --> 01:21:52.000 It seems like that shine maybe came off them a 1559 01:21:52.039 --> 01:21:55.079 little bit right it it came out, it was like 1560 01:21:55.159 --> 01:21:58.520 it was early and people were like, hang on, you know, 1561 01:21:58.640 --> 01:22:00.199 like who have they played. 1562 01:22:02.119 --> 01:22:03.359 And what do they do on the road. 1563 01:22:03.720 --> 01:22:07.199 Yeah, and now it's a little bit more back to reality, 1564 01:22:07.319 --> 01:22:07.920 it seems like. 1565 01:22:07.880 --> 01:22:09.600 For them, Yes, just a bit. 1566 01:22:10.159 --> 01:22:12.039 But no, I think that if you're for fantasy, I 1567 01:22:12.039 --> 01:22:14.159 think you go for their offensive players and you don't. 1568 01:22:13.960 --> 01:22:17.800 Touch their defensive player. I think that's the big thing here. Yeah. 1569 01:22:17.560 --> 01:22:20.119 Uh what else is going on with you and MLS 1570 01:22:20.159 --> 01:22:22.239 Soccer dot Com and bylines and things that we all 1571 01:22:22.279 --> 01:22:24.199 need to know about. 1572 01:22:25.560 --> 01:22:30.359 Yeah, no, more of the same for for MLS.

You know, 1617 01:24:34.399 --> 01:24:36.760 there's always the face in peril that's getting beaten up 1618 01:24:36.760 --> 01:24:38.800 in the corner and he finds a way to sit 1619 01:24:38.840 --> 01:24:40.840 there and duck under all of the right hands and 1620 01:24:40.880 --> 01:24:43.239 he finally gets the summersault and he makes the big 1621 01:24:43.319 --> 01:24:44.960 dive and he gets the tag, and you get the 1622 01:24:45.199 --> 01:24:47.800 fresh face, you get the fresh energy coming in rock 1623 01:24:47.800 --> 01:24:50.000 and roll. Express used to have that a lot. So 1624 01:24:50.119 --> 01:24:53.640 Dylan has tagged out and for the triumphant return. I 1625 01:24:53.680 --> 01:24:56.039 don't have I don't have trumpets. I don't have a 1626 01:24:56.039 --> 01:25:00.960 trumpet fanfare. But it has been quite some time since 1627 01:25:01.279 --> 01:25:02.800 since this show is being brought to us by the 1628 01:25:02.880 --> 01:25:06.520 letters Tyler that Tyler Terren's has been on the program. 1629 01:25:06.560 --> 01:25:08.800 And so now what we do is we tag in 1630 01:25:08.840 --> 01:25:12.680 and go hot tag Tyler. It has been entirely too long, 1631 01:25:12.760 --> 01:25:14.199 my friend. Great to see you, Welcome back to the 1632 01:25:14.239 --> 01:25:14.800 Morning Show. 1633 01:25:15.119 --> 01:25:16.199 I can't even. 1634 01:25:16.319 --> 01:25:18.600 Remember the last time that I was on the show 1635 01:25:18.640 --> 01:25:20.840 with you, but I'm glad to be here. I'm pumped 1636 01:25:20.880 --> 01:25:22.359 to talk some soccer and I'm pumped to come back 1637 01:25:22.359 --> 01:25:23.119 to the atl and too. 1638 01:25:23.159 --> 01:25:26.039 The Bens no doubt about it. So, like I said, 1639 01:25:26.039 --> 01:25:29.760 it has been entirely too long. And what we what 1640 01:25:29.840 --> 01:25:33.560 I have told the powers that are with the with 1641 01:25:33.640 --> 01:25:36.319 the league, it's like, look, anybody that we invite in, 1642 01:25:37.520 --> 01:25:41.680 they now have that studio link. So if they're bored 1643 01:25:41.720 --> 01:25:46.439 in a hotel room Friday, because literally from Friday, our 1644 01:25:46.520 --> 01:25:49.800 ten o'clock hour on Friday is mass hysteria where we 1645 01:25:49.840 --> 01:25:53.520 preview everything. And so literally now that you have the 1646 01:25:53.560 --> 01:25:56.880 golden key to come in and hang out at any time. Literally, 1647 01:25:56.920 --> 01:25:58.520 if you're in a hotel room, board out of your 1648 01:25:58.520 --> 01:26:01.760 mind in the ten o'clock you can come in, say 1649 01:26:01.760 --> 01:26:05.960 your piece, duck out, and there's no repercussion oh, Tyler, 1650 01:26:06.199 --> 01:26:08.119 and he said something it's like I'm out, then you leave, 1651 01:26:08.159 --> 01:26:11.000 so then you do the Irish goodbye. So that's all good. 1652 01:26:11.119 --> 01:26:12.800 So you now have the golden key so you can 1653 01:26:12.800 --> 01:26:13.640 come in at any time. 1654 01:26:14.039 --> 01:26:15.199 I love it, and I'll tell you what. 1655 01:26:15.720 --> 01:26:17.279 You must be reading my mind or at least you've 1656 01:26:17.279 --> 01:26:19.600 been talking to too many MLS season past people, because 1657 01:26:19.840 --> 01:26:23.600 getting bored Friday in the hotel room is that is 1658 01:26:24.159 --> 01:26:25.159 way way too. 1659 01:26:25.159 --> 01:26:26.359 Much of an occurrence recently. 1660 01:26:26.479 --> 01:26:29.800 But no, I love it, and I certainly am going 1661 01:26:29.840 --> 01:26:31.239 to take you up on that because I love just 1662 01:26:31.239 --> 01:26:33.119 being able to pop in on these sorts of shows 1663 01:26:33.119 --> 01:26:36.159 and really dig your show. And yeah, I'm certainly going 1664 01:26:36.239 --> 01:26:36.960 to take you up on it. 1665 01:26:37.159 --> 01:26:39.920 Excellent sir, We thank you for that. 1666 01:26:40.399 --> 01:26:43.520 All right, So what since this is your first time 1667 01:26:43.600 --> 01:26:46.880 here this season, let me go and we'll talk the GBU, 1668 01:26:46.960 --> 01:26:48.560 the good, the bad, and the ugly and the different. 1669 01:26:48.800 --> 01:26:53.680 So what so far for you in this season classifies 1670 01:26:53.720 --> 01:26:58.880 itself as the good, the bad, the ugly. And I 1671 01:26:58.880 --> 01:27:00.920 was talking with Dylan Butler from a soccer dot com 1672 01:27:01.000 --> 01:27:03.840 and the ugly already is in Montreal and the difference. 1673 01:27:03.920 --> 01:27:08.560 So take the gb UD and address if you would please, sir, 1674 01:27:08.680 --> 01:27:10.439 what is sticking in your mind after the first month 1675 01:27:10.479 --> 01:27:11.079 of match days. 1676 01:27:11.880 --> 01:27:14.560 So the good I mean, I think that you immediately 1677 01:27:14.600 --> 01:27:16.880 gravitate towards one team in the East, one team in 1678 01:27:16.880 --> 01:27:19.039 the West. That's Bradley Carnell in the Philadelphia Union. I 1679 01:27:19.079 --> 01:27:21.800 don't think anybody really thought much of this group and 1680 01:27:21.880 --> 01:27:23.199 sort of what he was going to be able to 1681 01:27:23.279 --> 01:27:25.119 do with him. But if we know two things about 1682 01:27:25.119 --> 01:27:26.840 Bradley Carnell is going to bring a lot of energy 1683 01:27:26.920 --> 01:27:28.640 and he's able to operate on a tight budget, and 1684 01:27:28.680 --> 01:27:30.640 that's what you need in order to succeed in Philadelphia. 1685 01:27:31.000 --> 01:27:33.359 And then obviously the Vancouver white Caps, and I was 1686 01:27:33.439 --> 01:27:35.880 fortunate enough to be on the call for their second 1687 01:27:35.960 --> 01:27:39.560 leg win on the road quote unquote, you know, in 1688 01:27:39.640 --> 01:27:41.720 a different stadium because Matterrey got pushed out of their 1689 01:27:41.720 --> 01:27:45.199 own stadium for a Shakira concert. And Yespra Sorenson, hits 1690 01:27:45.600 --> 01:27:47.960 do not lie. Okay, this guy is a pleasure to 1691 01:27:48.000 --> 01:27:50.039 talk to. He used to work in the media and 1692 01:27:50.680 --> 01:27:52.840 he clearly has this team cooking in some type of 1693 01:27:52.880 --> 01:27:54.640 way and were able to, you know, get a result 1694 01:27:54.680 --> 01:27:58.159 before the Chicago loss with some guys injured, and they've 1695 01:27:58.199 --> 01:27:59.319 been really really fun to watch. 1696 01:27:59.359 --> 01:28:02.319 So those are the two good. The bad, I. 1697 01:28:02.359 --> 01:28:08.239 Would say is a team like Toronto. I would say 1698 01:28:09.039 --> 01:28:12.079 a team like I don't know the Portland Timbers, even 1699 01:28:12.119 --> 01:28:13.760 though they just picked up a win over the weekend, 1700 01:28:14.279 --> 01:28:16.279 and sort of trying to figure out exactly what they are. 1701 01:28:16.880 --> 01:28:18.960 And then, as you mentioned, the ugly, I think two 1702 01:28:19.000 --> 01:28:22.159 Canadian sides cea of Montreal and then Toronto as well. 1703 01:28:22.279 --> 01:28:24.760 I saw Toronto on the road against de f C 1704 01:28:24.880 --> 01:28:26.800 Cincinnati that was one of the worst Major League OCRA 1705 01:28:26.880 --> 01:28:28.960 sides I've seen rolled out in a long long time. 1706 01:28:29.159 --> 01:28:32.039 And to be fair to Montreal, I actually think that 1707 01:28:33.560 --> 01:28:36.119 everything that's gone on so far this year is no 1708 01:28:36.399 --> 01:28:38.439 is no fault of Lauren Courtoise, is no fault of 1709 01:28:38.439 --> 01:28:42.159 the players to not invest in a DP transfer since 1710 01:28:42.199 --> 01:28:44.279 twenty fourteen. Is put out by our good friend Tommy 1711 01:28:44.279 --> 01:28:46.760 scoops Tom Bogert over to give me sport. That is 1712 01:28:46.840 --> 01:28:49.920 truly the ugly and God bless all of the coaches 1713 01:28:49.960 --> 01:28:52.119 who have come through, and that's twelve coaches now going 1714 01:28:52.159 --> 01:28:55.279 to be in fourteen years on Montreal's existence. They are 1715 01:28:55.359 --> 01:28:57.720 quite literally doing the Lord's work to be able to, 1716 01:28:57.880 --> 01:29:00.359 you know, take the job and say yes and know 1717 01:29:00.479 --> 01:29:02.880 that you're probably gonna get fired within eighteen months regardless 1718 01:29:02.960 --> 01:29:05.000 of what your results look like. Unless you're Wilford Nanci. 1719 01:29:06.560 --> 01:29:08.199 I don't know who would say yes to that job 1720 01:29:08.520 --> 01:29:10.079 at this point because it's a death sentence. 1721 01:29:10.399 --> 01:29:12.720 I think you, like I said, you get to twelve wins, 1722 01:29:12.800 --> 01:29:14.800 no matter how many matches it takes to get you 1723 01:29:14.880 --> 01:29:16.920 to twelve wins. That seems to be the marker for 1724 01:29:17.039 --> 01:29:23.279 Joey Saputo, which is MLS's version of Watford. Literally, that's 1725 01:29:23.319 --> 01:29:26.399 what popped into my head. It's like, you're Watford. I 1726 01:29:26.640 --> 01:29:28.479 get it now, and you used to be Wolves, but 1727 01:29:28.520 --> 01:29:32.800 it's Watford. Yeah, And it's just it's mind blowing to 1728 01:29:32.920 --> 01:29:36.680 me because it is it's a great city, it's it's 1729 01:29:36.720 --> 01:29:39.079 a great soccer town. It's a great football town and 1730 01:29:39.439 --> 01:29:42.920 Statsuputo when it's rocking is a difficult place to play. 1731 01:29:43.800 --> 01:29:47.079 But now, and this has been part of the discussion 1732 01:29:47.119 --> 01:29:50.039 we had yesterday when it was announced and when Tom 1733 01:29:50.119 --> 01:29:52.359 Bogert came on the Birthday Boy and he announced it, 1734 01:29:52.399 --> 01:29:54.039 and we looked at on social media and everything. 1735 01:29:54.920 --> 01:29:56.760 Who's going to take that gig get to. 1736 01:29:56.800 --> 01:29:59.319 I mean, look, you had Wilford Nanci and you had 1737 01:29:59.399 --> 01:30:02.760 Tierry on, you had them as managers. 1738 01:30:03.239 --> 01:30:06.920 Now you just who's gonna take that game. But to 1739 01:30:07.039 --> 01:30:10.119 be fair, to be fair, Tierrianrie left because of personal reasons. 1740 01:30:10.119 --> 01:30:11.720 Said it was during COVID and a strange time in 1741 01:30:11.760 --> 01:30:13.399 the world, and we're not gonna fault him for that. 1742 01:30:13.479 --> 01:30:16.479 And I will for Nanci certainly saw the writing on 1743 01:30:16.560 --> 01:30:19.720 the wall that's painted with Joey Saputo, you know whatever 1744 01:30:19.880 --> 01:30:22.359 on it. And he ends up taking a great job 1745 01:30:22.399 --> 01:30:24.600 in Columbus and has the backing and the resources, and 1746 01:30:24.720 --> 01:30:26.720 that's a huge step up, even though it's in our 1747 01:30:26.760 --> 01:30:30.920 own league. Now you're left with this crazy situation and 1748 01:30:31.079 --> 01:30:32.720 like you look up and down the roster and they're 1749 01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:35.399 like Prince Owusu, a guy who wasn't even supposed to 1750 01:30:35.439 --> 01:30:38.199 start in Toronto, is your big off season get I mean, like, 1751 01:30:38.279 --> 01:30:40.359 what are we talking about here? I was talking to 1752 01:30:40.399 --> 01:30:42.880 the French commentators for MLS season pass of Frederick Lord 1753 01:30:42.920 --> 01:30:46.920 and Vincent Vincent de Touche, and Vincent actually wrote a 1754 01:30:46.960 --> 01:30:50.119 book it's only in French unfortunately, on c F Montreal 1755 01:30:50.279 --> 01:30:53.960 and the history of the club, and chatting with him, 1756 01:30:54.000 --> 01:30:55.399 it's just like, you know, that's the team that they 1757 01:30:55.479 --> 01:30:57.800 quote unquote you know, follow around at least from a 1758 01:30:57.840 --> 01:31:02.439 commentary standpoint, and it's just like, it's just truly unbelievable 1759 01:31:02.479 --> 01:31:04.239 to look at the lack of resources and the lack 1760 01:31:04.279 --> 01:31:07.199 of investment from the club. And I'm not even talking 1761 01:31:07.239 --> 01:31:09.199 about John, like, I'm not even talking about just money, 1762 01:31:09.279 --> 01:31:12.279 but just flat out like knowing what it takes to 1763 01:31:12.359 --> 01:31:14.840 be a good sports owner. And I've seen plenty of 1764 01:31:14.920 --> 01:31:17.039 owners in this league who have been too patient and 1765 01:31:17.159 --> 01:31:18.960 don't get rid of the sporting director and don't get 1766 01:31:19.039 --> 01:31:21.119 rid of the coach and don't do the right thing. 1767 01:31:21.520 --> 01:31:24.079 But this is just like it's too much, man, And 1768 01:31:24.239 --> 01:31:27.439 Vancouver deserves to stay in Vancouver, and they deserve to 1769 01:31:27.520 --> 01:31:29.159 have an owner who's going to want to be in 1770 01:31:29.239 --> 01:31:30.800 charge of that club or whatever they're going to sell for. 1771 01:31:30.920 --> 01:31:33.000 And I hope that they stay at BC Place, and 1772 01:31:33.039 --> 01:31:34.880 I hope they stay in British Columbia or maybe they 1773 01:31:34.920 --> 01:31:36.920 can get their own stadium. BC Place is a different story. 1774 01:31:37.279 --> 01:31:40.359 But for montrealog, You're just like, blow the whole thing up, man, 1775 01:31:40.439 --> 01:31:42.199 I mean, this is crazy at this point. 1776 01:31:42.880 --> 01:31:46.000 Literally, you look at Montreal sadly and you go bruh, 1777 01:31:46.720 --> 01:31:49.199 Literally that is the is the poster child of BRUH 1778 01:31:49.520 --> 01:31:51.760 Right now, when you're looking at what's going on, uh 1779 01:31:52.239 --> 01:31:53.880 all right. Part of the reason that we have you 1780 01:31:54.000 --> 01:31:56.840 here is to discuss what's going on with Atlanda United 1781 01:31:56.960 --> 01:31:58.840 since we are based here. Even though we are you know, 1782 01:31:58.880 --> 01:32:01.359 we look at ourselves as a national content. But when 1783 01:32:01.399 --> 01:32:04.000 you look at Atlanta United, the investment, this is Garth's 1784 01:32:04.039 --> 01:32:07.279 and Chris's club. They brought in Ronnie Dila. What did 1785 01:32:07.319 --> 01:32:09.720 you think about the off season changes As you have 1786 01:32:09.800 --> 01:32:12.239 a team trying to understand what Ronnie Dila wants them 1787 01:32:12.319 --> 01:32:14.079 to do in game state on a weekly days. 1788 01:32:16.520 --> 01:32:18.079 I'm still trying to figure it out. I mean like 1789 01:32:18.119 --> 01:32:20.079 when I when I saw the headlines coming across and 1790 01:32:20.119 --> 01:32:22.680 everything like that, I sort of was like, okay, Like 1791 01:32:23.439 --> 01:32:25.279 I don't want to say this makes sense, but you're 1792 01:32:25.319 --> 01:32:28.039 putting some good pieces and success, some successful pieces in 1793 01:32:28.119 --> 01:32:32.039 Major League soccer into place for what should be a 1794 01:32:32.119 --> 01:32:34.560 banner year for Atlanta United or or you know, at 1795 01:32:34.640 --> 01:32:38.840 least on paper whatever that means. The Ronnie Dila higher 1796 01:32:38.920 --> 01:32:42.479 itself I've found to be interesting, not because he's not 1797 01:32:42.680 --> 01:32:45.239 a good coach, but just because of where he's been 1798 01:32:45.840 --> 01:32:48.359 and sort of his steps going to standard Liege, maybe 1799 01:32:48.439 --> 01:32:51.239 not necessarily having the success that he wanted to and 1800 01:32:51.359 --> 01:32:53.720 then taking the other job and now coming back to 1801 01:32:53.800 --> 01:32:55.680 Major League Soccer, and I was just sort of like 1802 01:32:55.720 --> 01:32:56.840 I would have loved to have been a fly on 1803 01:32:56.880 --> 01:32:58.760 the wall in the conversations and the people who interviewed 1804 01:32:58.800 --> 01:33:00.399 for that job and then how they came to the 1805 01:33:00.920 --> 01:33:03.039 how they came to the conclusion on Roddy Dialub to 1806 01:33:03.119 --> 01:33:04.840 be the best person to put in charge of this 1807 01:33:05.079 --> 01:33:08.840 project at this point in time with the club, anything 1808 01:33:08.960 --> 01:33:12.159 Garth touches typically turns to gold. So like I'm not 1809 01:33:12.319 --> 01:33:14.760 I'm never going to question arguably like the godfather of 1810 01:33:14.800 --> 01:33:18.399 the front offices and in Major League Soccer, And still 1811 01:33:18.520 --> 01:33:20.159 so much to sort out in terms of what this 1812 01:33:20.239 --> 01:33:22.680 team is actually going to look like. And I'm sure 1813 01:33:22.720 --> 01:33:25.880 we'll get into that. But like my first it wasn't 1814 01:33:25.880 --> 01:33:28.039 a head scratcher necessarily. It was just like I would 1815 01:33:28.199 --> 01:33:31.439 love to like hear the conversations and Ronnie Dila, you know, 1816 01:33:31.960 --> 01:33:34.159 I was a huge fan of the football at NYCFC 1817 01:33:34.359 --> 01:33:35.920 was playing, and you know, and keep in mind that 1818 01:33:35.960 --> 01:33:38.199 that was a group that hadn't gotten past the conference 1819 01:33:38.199 --> 01:33:40.720 semifinals in five straight years and then he brings them 1820 01:33:40.720 --> 01:33:43.479 to an MLS Cup and wins against the good Portland 1821 01:33:43.520 --> 01:33:45.479 side on the road and we'll never forget, you know, 1822 01:33:45.520 --> 01:33:48.399 the late goal and the whole thing. But yeah, just 1823 01:33:48.680 --> 01:33:53.000 very very interesting higher and very interesting makeup of this group. 1824 01:33:53.079 --> 01:33:55.520 And in terms of previous MLS success, you. 1825 01:33:56.039 --> 01:33:59.920 Add latte a lot coming in from Middlesbrough for twenty plus. 1826 01:34:00.680 --> 01:34:02.800 You add that to the mix where you have an 1827 01:34:02.800 --> 01:34:06.079 Alexi Mirunchuk, you've got Saboo Jenize, you bring in a 1828 01:34:06.159 --> 01:34:09.159 mateas Click, and like I said, I made the joke 1829 01:34:09.279 --> 01:34:12.079 earlier in the show that basically you go to d 1830 01:34:12.239 --> 01:34:13.840 C United and it's like I got a pack of 1831 01:34:13.920 --> 01:34:16.920 Marlborough Reds zingers in a packet of Big League chew 1832 01:34:17.640 --> 01:34:20.680 and DC's like okay, you know, and that's what you 1833 01:34:20.800 --> 01:34:22.319 end up and they still have to pay most of 1834 01:34:22.479 --> 01:34:23.520 Mattea's Click's work. 1835 01:34:24.279 --> 01:34:25.760 Uh, you're getting a. 1836 01:34:25.800 --> 01:34:28.279 Lot of pieces assembled once again, mixing with what you 1837 01:34:28.399 --> 01:34:31.199 got from the academy and all of the younger players 1838 01:34:31.279 --> 01:34:35.000 that are here, and they're hitting on some pieces and 1839 01:34:35.119 --> 01:34:37.359 I think that there's a lot of intrigue about Okay, 1840 01:34:38.359 --> 01:34:39.680 how long is it going to take for all this 1841 01:34:39.760 --> 01:34:42.640 stuff when healthy to get together and then what's it 1842 01:34:42.720 --> 01:34:43.279 going to look like? 1843 01:34:43.399 --> 01:34:45.640 In the anticipation there is obviously huge. 1844 01:34:45.880 --> 01:34:48.600 It's huge, and I think that the probably the frustrating 1845 01:34:48.640 --> 01:34:51.279 thing for Atlanta United fans is going to be there's 1846 01:34:51.399 --> 01:34:53.640 no there's no date on this on when it's going 1847 01:34:53.680 --> 01:34:55.119 to come good and if it's going to come good. 1848 01:34:55.199 --> 01:34:56.680 I don't think that it's an if. I do think 1849 01:34:56.680 --> 01:34:58.920 it's a when. And kinder d St Auburn and I, 1850 01:34:59.039 --> 01:35:01.680 my broadcast partner, having this conversation in the middle of 1851 01:35:01.720 --> 01:35:04.520 the Sporting Kansas City LAFC game. Because Sporting obviously are 1852 01:35:04.560 --> 01:35:05.920 off to a bad start, I would throw them into 1853 01:35:05.960 --> 01:35:09.000 the bad category as well. And I love Peter for me, 1854 01:35:09.199 --> 01:35:11.159 He's always great with us, and I do wish that 1855 01:35:11.239 --> 01:35:13.199 club success because I think it's an important club in 1856 01:35:13.239 --> 01:35:15.439 Major League Soccer. But we were talking about how like, 1857 01:35:15.800 --> 01:35:18.039 when do you really start to look at the sample 1858 01:35:18.119 --> 01:35:21.359 size and at what point during the season do you say, Okay, 1859 01:35:21.479 --> 01:35:23.840 this is what this team is all about. And I 1860 01:35:24.000 --> 01:35:27.439 wanted to say probably Week ten, But Sporting Kansas City 1861 01:35:27.560 --> 01:35:29.359 was a good example of how you can't do that 1862 01:35:29.479 --> 01:35:31.600 because two years ago they went winless in their first 1863 01:35:31.640 --> 01:35:33.319 ten and then they end up being the best side 1864 01:35:33.359 --> 01:35:35.960 of Major League Soccer from May fourth until the end 1865 01:35:36.000 --> 01:35:38.039 of the season, knocking off Saint Louis in the postseason. 1866 01:35:38.680 --> 01:35:41.720 So for Atlanta, I'm looking at it and I'm like, Okay, 1867 01:35:41.920 --> 01:35:43.439 I was like thinking about it today while I was 1868 01:35:43.479 --> 01:35:46.760 cooking breakfast. I was like, Miguel Almron, why hasn't it 1869 01:35:46.960 --> 01:35:51.960 looked like it should for Miggy playing on turf? Getting 1870 01:35:52.159 --> 01:35:54.119 used to playing on turf again. I mean, and I'm 1871 01:35:54.159 --> 01:35:56.760 not saying that my men's league in Cincinnati is any 1872 01:35:56.800 --> 01:35:59.319 comparison to Major League Soccer, but I was playing It's not. 1873 01:35:59.600 --> 01:36:02.359 It's not breaking news, it's just not. But we did 1874 01:36:02.439 --> 01:36:04.560 we do have a plus fourteen goal differential through our 1875 01:36:04.640 --> 01:36:07.680 first two games. Ye shout out to real associate dads 1876 01:36:08.199 --> 01:36:12.600 in Cincinnati. But I like playing on turf comparatively to 1877 01:36:12.680 --> 01:36:14.960 playing on the playing on whatever surface you're gonna play 1878 01:36:14.960 --> 01:36:16.399 on in the Premier League. I think that that's something 1879 01:36:16.479 --> 01:36:18.720 he's gonna have to readjust to. I think that the 1880 01:36:19.079 --> 01:36:21.159 front line in the front four in particularly because you 1881 01:36:21.279 --> 01:36:23.920 invested so much money in it, Atlanta fans are going 1882 01:36:24.000 --> 01:36:26.520 to be impatient, to say the least, if it's not 1883 01:36:26.640 --> 01:36:28.920 going to come good in the first several weeks, but 1884 01:36:29.039 --> 01:36:30.760 I do think that that's going to come good at 1885 01:36:30.800 --> 01:36:33.039 some point in time when I have no idea, but 1886 01:36:33.239 --> 01:36:36.880 like being patient with that, getting Brooks Lenin healthy because 1887 01:36:36.880 --> 01:36:38.600 I do think that. I mean, like, look at the 1888 01:36:38.600 --> 01:36:40.680 goals that Latte Lata is scoring. Like Brooks Lennon is 1889 01:36:40.720 --> 01:36:42.319 one of the best delivers of the ball in Major 1890 01:36:42.399 --> 01:36:45.439 League soccer, you know, like maybe a step below Julian Gressel, 1891 01:36:46.680 --> 01:36:48.720 but you just got to give him time. You got 1892 01:36:48.800 --> 01:36:51.520 to give everybody time to figure it out. And like John, 1893 01:36:51.560 --> 01:36:53.680 for the life of me, this international window in March, 1894 01:36:53.800 --> 01:36:57.560 like five weeks into the season, like just oh god, 1895 01:36:57.640 --> 01:36:59.359 I'm so sick of it. And I'm it's just so 1896 01:36:59.439 --> 01:37:01.319 I don't get in trouble. Greg Borhalter is the one 1897 01:37:01.359 --> 01:37:03.199 who's you know, was going on record and saying it, 1898 01:37:03.319 --> 01:37:05.359 just like why are we playing in this international window? 1899 01:37:05.520 --> 01:37:06.479 He said it, he said it. 1900 01:37:06.560 --> 01:37:08.760 I didn't. I'm just I'm just sticking with triple G here. 1901 01:37:08.880 --> 01:37:12.439 But it's just like it, what what a frustrating you 1902 01:37:12.479 --> 01:37:14.680 know two weeks because it's because we have no idea 1903 01:37:14.720 --> 01:37:16.319 what the player availability is going to be for those 1904 01:37:16.319 --> 01:37:18.640 guys who are coming from com the boll who are 1905 01:37:18.680 --> 01:37:21.439 coming from all over the place AFCN, and it's at 1906 01:37:21.479 --> 01:37:25.159 Afcon two weeks without some of your best players and 1907 01:37:25.239 --> 01:37:28.159 getting punished for having international like just miss me with 1908 01:37:28.239 --> 01:37:28.680 that whole thing. 1909 01:37:28.720 --> 01:37:31.000 I'm sorry, but it's just it's tired. Well. 1910 01:37:31.560 --> 01:37:34.760 And to your point about Miguel al Marone, there's always 1911 01:37:35.479 --> 01:37:39.680 the self imposed pressure of returning and being the idea 1912 01:37:39.720 --> 01:37:43.000 of the prodigal Sun, where he's someone who is as 1913 01:37:43.079 --> 01:37:45.560 loved and as admired as he was in round number one. 1914 01:37:45.680 --> 01:37:48.479 He goes to Newcastle, has all the success, wants to 1915 01:37:48.560 --> 01:37:52.560 come back, and there's always that pressure on the inside 1916 01:37:53.159 --> 01:37:54.600 about okay, I'm back. 1917 01:37:54.760 --> 01:37:57.319 I've got to I have to perform, I have to 1918 01:37:57.439 --> 01:37:58.039 produce here. 1919 01:37:58.399 --> 01:38:00.079 And I think that to your point about playing on 1920 01:38:00.159 --> 01:38:01.640 turf as part of it as well, but I think 1921 01:38:01.680 --> 01:38:05.199 that just that self imposed pressure that the rail as 1922 01:38:05.279 --> 01:38:08.319 sociodads have as well, try to keep that goal difference up. 1923 01:38:08.359 --> 01:38:10.039 I'm sure that the pressure is there and it gives 1924 01:38:10.079 --> 01:38:11.720 him a you know, his own little bit of odditive 1925 01:38:11.720 --> 01:38:12.640 that he's got a work pass. 1926 01:38:13.800 --> 01:38:16.399 I couldn't agree more And and I don't know if 1927 01:38:16.479 --> 01:38:19.119 that's necessarily an excuse, but more so just a reality. 1928 01:38:19.960 --> 01:38:24.279 And I think for Miggy, you know, he left in 1929 01:38:24.720 --> 01:38:27.880 such a strange time in terms of like the transition 1930 01:38:28.000 --> 01:38:30.039 of Major League soccer, and like he's been gone for 1931 01:38:30.159 --> 01:38:32.880 what four or five years, Like major League soccer has 1932 01:38:33.479 --> 01:38:36.560 evolved into another era since he's left. So I think 1933 01:38:36.600 --> 01:38:39.439 that getting maybe getting used to a slightly higher level 1934 01:38:39.520 --> 01:38:41.199 of play, getting used to the turf. And I see 1935 01:38:41.239 --> 01:38:43.079 the comments in the chat that like Atlanta's turf isn't 1936 01:38:43.119 --> 01:38:45.720 like anybody else's turf, but no turf is like actual 1937 01:38:45.800 --> 01:38:47.880 real grass every single weekend in the Premier League. So 1938 01:38:48.239 --> 01:38:50.119 I get that, But but I'm with you. I think 1939 01:38:50.159 --> 01:38:51.760 that there's a level of that. And right now, what 1940 01:38:51.800 --> 01:38:53.800 do you guys have two goal scorers in in Edwin 1941 01:38:53.840 --> 01:38:56.560 Mosquera and and Latte Lot Like nobody else has scored 1942 01:38:56.560 --> 01:38:57.960 a goal up until this point. So you got to 1943 01:38:57.960 --> 01:39:00.840 get everybody clicking on, you know, and get the confidence 1944 01:39:00.920 --> 01:39:03.560 right because there is so much expectation behind this team. 1945 01:39:03.800 --> 01:39:06.319 There has been a historic amount of money invested into 1946 01:39:06.359 --> 01:39:08.359 this front line. Of course, that's going to come with pressure, 1947 01:39:08.520 --> 01:39:11.279 particularly in a league where you know it's meant to 1948 01:39:11.439 --> 01:39:13.479 try to sort of bring you back down to reality 1949 01:39:13.520 --> 01:39:15.479 where you're not able to invest in other parts. But 1950 01:39:15.720 --> 01:39:17.840 Atlanta have clearly done such a good job. And Garth, 1951 01:39:18.039 --> 01:39:19.840 you know, put his magic wand on this whole thing. 1952 01:39:19.920 --> 01:39:21.680 So I only think it's a matter of time. 1953 01:39:21.760 --> 01:39:22.359 I really do. 1954 01:39:22.800 --> 01:39:24.520 I just have this vision now of him with the 1955 01:39:24.640 --> 01:39:27.079 top hat sitting there and he's a wand over the 1956 01:39:27.119 --> 01:39:29.960 top and he tops the hat. You know, to your 1957 01:39:30.000 --> 01:39:33.479 point about Sporting Kansas City, how does you know? And 1958 01:39:33.600 --> 01:39:36.520 I've had this conversation on the show before, where how 1959 01:39:36.560 --> 01:39:39.079 does Peter Vermes have a conversation with Peter Vermes about 1960 01:39:39.079 --> 01:39:39.680 Peter Urmes? 1961 01:39:39.800 --> 01:39:39.920 You know? 1962 01:39:40.319 --> 01:39:42.880 Is is it in a room with two chairs, kind 1963 01:39:42.880 --> 01:39:45.079 of like Judge Smails and Danny Noonan where he's in 1964 01:39:45.199 --> 01:39:50.079 both roles. Yeah, it's it's it's something along those lines. 1965 01:39:50.840 --> 01:39:54.079 Peter, Peter, Peter, we need to have a talk what 1966 01:39:54.239 --> 01:39:56.680 about Yeah, Peter, we need to have a talk about you. 1967 01:39:56.760 --> 01:39:58.680 And he just runs from one seat to the other 1968 01:39:58.840 --> 01:40:01.239 to have the conversation. That's the only thing I can figure. 1969 01:40:01.720 --> 01:40:03.760 Well, there's one more voice in the room now, and 1970 01:40:03.800 --> 01:40:06.239 that is Mike Burns, who theoretically is the sporting director. 1971 01:40:06.239 --> 01:40:08.600 I'm not exactly sure what the hierarchy looks like. Of 1972 01:40:08.760 --> 01:40:11.760 like if Mike technically answers to Peter, if they're on 1973 01:40:11.840 --> 01:40:13.760 the same playing field and they both answer to the 1974 01:40:13.800 --> 01:40:16.000 ownership group, I have no earthly idea. 1975 01:40:16.239 --> 01:40:17.239 I went behind the bar. 1976 01:40:17.479 --> 01:40:21.159 Basically, it's like, yeah, I have a talk with you, 1977 01:40:21.199 --> 01:40:24.680 and it's like dodge, let's do yeah over here. 1978 01:40:25.840 --> 01:40:27.640 What I do know is that they haven't won since 1979 01:40:27.680 --> 01:40:31.279 mid September. What I do know is that Children's Mercy 1980 01:40:31.359 --> 01:40:33.119 Park is not nearly as full as it should be. 1981 01:40:33.600 --> 01:40:35.319 What I do know is that there's groans from the 1982 01:40:35.359 --> 01:40:37.920 crowd when they are running through the same pattern of 1983 01:40:37.960 --> 01:40:39.880 play over and over and over again and not be 1984 01:40:40.000 --> 01:40:41.760 able to break down back lines. What I do know 1985 01:40:42.600 --> 01:40:46.600 is that this group should be playing better. And I'm 1986 01:40:46.640 --> 01:40:48.439 not just saying because of the money that they invested in. 1987 01:40:48.439 --> 01:40:49.680 And if we're going to go with the same logic 1988 01:40:49.680 --> 01:40:51.239 of Atlanta United, I'm going to go with the same 1989 01:40:51.279 --> 01:40:53.479 logic as Sporting that it is going to need some time. 1990 01:40:53.560 --> 01:40:56.279 And I would have to imagine that Peter Formies has 1991 01:40:56.319 --> 01:40:58.239 not been given a long leash, but at least there 1992 01:40:58.359 --> 01:41:01.560 is a leash, right because you can't invest the most 1993 01:41:01.560 --> 01:41:03.399 amount of money if you've invested in the club since 1994 01:41:03.399 --> 01:41:05.600 twenty twenty and then get rid of him at the 1995 01:41:05.600 --> 01:41:08.279 first sign of danger. Who's going to take a little bit. 1996 01:41:08.640 --> 01:41:10.960 But again, Kindred and I were having this conversation, does 1997 01:41:11.000 --> 01:41:13.199 he change formations? Does he mix it up a little 1998 01:41:13.199 --> 01:41:14.840 bit in terms of their approach? Do they really need 1999 01:41:14.920 --> 01:41:16.479 to have the ball seventy two percent of the time 2000 01:41:16.479 --> 01:41:18.600 against LAFC, a team that you knew was going to 2001 01:41:18.680 --> 01:41:20.560 sit in and just try to hit you on the counter. 2002 01:41:20.800 --> 01:41:22.760 Probably not, because you could have played one hundred and 2003 01:41:22.760 --> 01:41:24.319 eighty minutes of that game and you weren't going to score. 2004 01:41:24.319 --> 01:41:27.840 It was just one of those nights. So that one's 2005 01:41:27.840 --> 01:41:29.720 ahead scratcher for me in terms of how long that 2006 01:41:29.840 --> 01:41:32.279 ownership group is going to wait to potentially fire a 2007 01:41:32.319 --> 01:41:35.680 guy who's been there for seventeen years and not for nothing, John, 2008 01:41:35.800 --> 01:41:38.880 but he just made his seven hundredth appearance, either as 2009 01:41:38.920 --> 01:41:42.560 a coach or a player. He is an institution within 2010 01:41:42.680 --> 01:41:45.239 that club and to get rid of him is a 2011 01:41:45.359 --> 01:41:47.600 delicate matter. And I hate to say that, and I 2012 01:41:47.680 --> 01:41:49.800 know that, Like I'm a big Liverpool fan and a 2013 01:41:49.840 --> 01:41:51.880 lot of you know, fans will sometimes get upset at 2014 01:41:51.880 --> 01:41:54.119 the fact that we don't treat legends the right way 2015 01:41:54.199 --> 01:41:56.800 at Liverpool, but they clearly are doing the right thing 2016 01:41:56.880 --> 01:41:59.600 in terms of setting themselves up for success with the 2017 01:41:59.640 --> 01:42:01.920 future of the club and now with Sporting Kansas City 2018 01:42:02.000 --> 01:42:03.840 and how embedded he's been, not only from a coach, 2019 01:42:03.920 --> 01:42:07.000 sporting director, minister of culture, whatever you want to call 2020 01:42:07.119 --> 01:42:07.760 him over there. 2021 01:42:08.319 --> 01:42:09.840 It's it's a delicate. 2022 01:42:09.479 --> 01:42:11.479 Manner if you are going to move on from him, 2023 01:42:11.560 --> 01:42:14.680 because he has been Sporting Kansas City for so long. 2024 01:42:14.800 --> 01:42:16.880 He is the minister of kwan at Sporting Kansas City. 2025 01:42:18.399 --> 01:42:21.359 All right, So I'll ask Trent Alexander Arnold to Real Madrid. 2026 01:42:21.399 --> 01:42:21.920 What's your gut? 2027 01:42:22.680 --> 01:42:25.199 Oh he's gone? What do you what do you think 2028 01:42:25.359 --> 01:42:28.399 now that he is out the door? And uh Arnest 2029 01:42:28.600 --> 01:42:31.199 Arnest Lutts has proven that he's okay, he's alight in 2030 01:42:31.239 --> 01:42:33.960 the Premier League. But losing Trent Alexander Arnold, what is that? 2031 01:42:34.079 --> 01:42:35.840 What does that do to your starting eleven per se? 2032 01:42:35.920 --> 01:42:37.039 Or are you just going to throw more money at 2033 01:42:37.079 --> 01:42:37.960 a problem bring somebody in. 2034 01:42:38.359 --> 01:42:40.079 No, I think that you start Connor Bradley. 2035 01:42:40.079 --> 01:42:42.960 You obviously need some death because Joe Gomez can't stay 2036 01:42:43.039 --> 01:42:45.359 healthy for the life of him. And as long as 2037 01:42:45.439 --> 01:42:47.920 we don't lose Verge. I'm even okay, okay losing Mo 2038 01:42:48.199 --> 01:42:51.159 at this point in time, and I think not okay 2039 01:42:51.279 --> 01:42:54.479 with it. I've I've come to terms with it. I've 2040 01:42:54.479 --> 01:42:57.359 sat with it, I've meditated on it, you get it. 2041 01:42:57.560 --> 01:43:00.800 I've cried over it, Yeah, I've. I've I've the loss 2042 01:43:00.840 --> 01:43:03.359 of Mohammed sala already in my head, sort of like 2043 01:43:03.960 --> 01:43:06.760 Roman from Succession. I think that I've pre grieved, but 2044 01:43:06.880 --> 01:43:08.399 like I'm probably gonna be a mess on the day 2045 01:43:08.439 --> 01:43:12.520 that his transfers announced. But anyway, yeah, I Trent, we 2046 01:43:12.600 --> 01:43:15.199 can live without, right, I do think that from a 2047 01:43:15.239 --> 01:43:17.319 set piece and that big diagonal ball which has become 2048 01:43:17.359 --> 01:43:20.319 such a big thing of Liverpool's and the metrics behind that, 2049 01:43:20.520 --> 01:43:23.680 but we need to keep Verge. I consistently think that 2050 01:43:23.800 --> 01:43:26.119 Verge is the most important player, not maybe necessarily the 2051 01:43:26.159 --> 01:43:28.279 best player on Liverpool, but the most important player to 2052 01:43:28.359 --> 01:43:30.319 what Liverpool are able to do in the Premier League 2053 01:43:30.319 --> 01:43:31.000 and Champions League. 2054 01:43:31.119 --> 01:43:36.000 How underrated is Selman keller Her between the sticks? Underrated? 2055 01:43:36.039 --> 01:43:38.079 But like I was arguing with somebody on serious six 2056 01:43:38.159 --> 01:43:40.239 M the other day, they were like, Kellerher should be 2057 01:43:40.319 --> 01:43:41.720 the starter for the rest of the season. I was like, 2058 01:43:41.800 --> 01:43:44.319 don't for a second think that Allison isn't the best 2059 01:43:44.359 --> 01:43:46.760 goalkeeper in the world. They just happen to have the 2060 01:43:46.800 --> 01:43:48.640 best number two who would start on two thirds of 2061 01:43:48.680 --> 01:43:49.439 Premier League teams. 2062 01:43:50.000 --> 01:43:52.199 Yeah. Yeah, And so I think that. 2063 01:43:52.600 --> 01:43:55.239 When you're on a team that is as great as 2064 01:43:55.359 --> 01:43:58.439 the run that Liverpool is having right now, you're gonna 2065 01:43:58.479 --> 01:44:01.640 have those dudes that when you're you got to step 2066 01:44:01.760 --> 01:44:04.520 up because once again the expectations there and the novel 2067 01:44:04.560 --> 01:44:06.600 the four knowledge is there that we know you're good. 2068 01:44:06.800 --> 01:44:09.279 So you know, in the Gummy Bear Cup competition, when 2069 01:44:09.319 --> 01:44:11.720 we need you, go ahead and you know, do your best, 2070 01:44:11.840 --> 01:44:15.560 whether it's you know, a second a second leg where 2071 01:44:15.600 --> 01:44:17.680 you know it's a blowout city and you're okay and 2072 01:44:17.760 --> 01:44:19.680 you just take care of business and everything's cool. 2073 01:44:20.760 --> 01:44:22.520 I know we're up against it with you.

And apparently, apparently because 2142 01:47:05.560 --> 01:47:08.800 I only got to Chicago in twenty twenty when they 2143 01:47:08.880 --> 01:47:11.520 moved from Sea Geek to Soldier Field, supposedly, the ice 2144 01:47:11.520 --> 01:47:14.840 cream nachos at Soldier Field are far inferior to those 2145 01:47:14.880 --> 01:47:16.720 at Sea Geek Stadium. I've never had the ones at 2146 01:47:16.720 --> 01:47:19.279 Seakeeke Stadium before. But I'm like, it's ice cream nachos. 2147 01:47:19.319 --> 01:47:21.079 You take a bunch of salty tortilla chips and you 2148 01:47:21.199 --> 01:47:22.960 throw an ice cream Sunday on top of it. How 2149 01:47:23.039 --> 01:47:25.000 much better could it possibly be. I'm just like, I 2150 01:47:25.119 --> 01:47:27.439 still don't think it's going to taste good, and it 2151 01:47:27.600 --> 01:47:30.239 just it's like how I feel about, you know something, 2152 01:47:30.399 --> 01:47:32.680 Skyline Chili has actually been kind to me, and it's 2153 01:47:32.760 --> 01:47:37.640 going to ask yeah in Cincinnati Skyline Chili. Yeah your name, Yeah, yes, 2154 01:47:37.960 --> 01:47:41.359 I guess. But like it's deemed as I can notice 2155 01:47:41.359 --> 01:47:45.399 Steak and Shake and get it chili three way. 2156 01:47:45.680 --> 01:47:46.880 No no no no no no no no no. 2157 01:47:47.439 --> 01:47:49.840 See, that's you're gonna get in trouble with stuff like that. 2158 01:47:50.039 --> 01:47:54.279 I would never say something like that ever, because I people, 2159 01:47:54.399 --> 01:47:56.319 people know where I live here, people know where I 2160 01:47:56.399 --> 01:47:58.319 live here, and I can't I can't just say you 2161 01:47:58.359 --> 01:48:00.520 can go get it in Steak and Shake. I am 2162 01:48:00.640 --> 01:48:03.079 pro Skyline Chili. The only time that I've had it 2163 01:48:03.159 --> 01:48:05.079 and that I enjoyed it was after a few beverages 2164 01:48:05.119 --> 01:48:07.560 at a Cincinnati Bengals game, watching Joe Burrow and Jamar 2165 01:48:07.680 --> 01:48:10.279 Chase link up for like three touchdowns. I think that 2166 01:48:10.359 --> 01:48:12.359 that's when you're supposed to have it. I'm not gonna 2167 01:48:12.399 --> 01:48:15.880 go and get it for dinner tonight, but sure it's 2168 01:48:16.000 --> 01:48:16.439 it's fun. 2169 01:48:16.800 --> 01:48:19.520 I mean Skyline chili and some Hutie Delight and you know, 2170 01:48:19.800 --> 01:48:22.319 or maybe go to the Sunset Beach Club off of 2171 01:48:22.359 --> 01:48:24.119 the UC campus and modulate. 2172 01:48:23.760 --> 01:48:27.520 I don't know, and meditate on Mohammed Salah potentially leaving Liverpool. 2173 01:48:27.840 --> 01:48:30.399 Correct. Yes, the belly full of Skyline chili. 2174 01:48:31.079 --> 01:48:34.520 Man, that's just like nine thousand calories staring right at me, 2175 01:48:34.600 --> 01:48:37.000 and I would have to actually go out onto. 2176 01:48:37.479 --> 01:48:42.239 You see, my playing days are long gone. 2177 01:48:43.199 --> 01:48:47.319 I'm good at standing on sidelines and ranting and gesticulating 2178 01:48:47.399 --> 01:48:49.720 and looking like I'm actually saying something of impact. 2179 01:48:49.800 --> 01:48:51.319 Are you ranting or you yelling or is that a 2180 01:48:51.439 --> 01:48:53.359 nice way of saying that you're you're barking at officials 2181 01:48:53.479 --> 01:48:56.159 or barking at people who you enjoy watching play. 2182 01:48:56.399 --> 01:48:59.279 Yeah, And there's no real rationale behind it. It's just 2183 01:48:59.399 --> 01:49:02.039 you know, I'm cutting I'm cutting a heel promo basically 2184 01:49:02.119 --> 01:49:04.079 on the side. You're sitting here and just like doing 2185 01:49:04.119 --> 01:49:06.279 this kind of bit and the center reflix A mean 2186 01:49:06.439 --> 01:49:08.840 is like bruh bang you know, shut. 2187 01:49:08.680 --> 01:49:10.560 Up, you know one of those kind of things. I see. 2188 01:49:10.920 --> 01:49:13.359 That's that's how I would be in a situation like that. 2189 01:49:13.479 --> 01:49:15.439 I could, I could have the skyline, but you'd have 2190 01:49:15.560 --> 01:49:18.520 to have the Hugy Delight or the whatever, and you know, 2191 01:49:18.600 --> 01:49:20.479 work at that. Well, like I feel like I need 2192 01:49:20.520 --> 01:49:22.439 to plan my whole week around the skyland, like the 2193 01:49:22.680 --> 01:49:25.279 following like thirty two to forty eight hours after I 2194 01:49:25.399 --> 01:49:27.439 had that. And I'm not saying it's because of the alcohol, 2195 01:49:27.479 --> 01:49:30.039 but like I was, like I had a different gym 2196 01:49:30.159 --> 01:49:32.520 regiment like at it because I just simply couldn't be 2197 01:49:32.560 --> 01:49:34.680 put in a position where like my body was getting 2198 01:49:34.720 --> 01:49:36.199 ramped up too much if you feel what I'm saying. 2199 01:49:36.239 --> 01:49:38.159 Not to get too graphic, I know there's a family show, 2200 01:49:38.279 --> 01:49:42.880 but anyway, yeah is it? When is this a family shit? 2201 01:49:44.640 --> 01:49:48.840 When you give off a family like patriarchal vibe, you 2202 01:49:49.039 --> 01:49:50.880 just seem like the guy at the head of the 2203 01:49:50.920 --> 01:49:53.079 Thanksgiving table who's gonna make a nice toast before we 2204 01:49:53.119 --> 01:49:55.880 all dig in. You're a middler, as Larry David would say, 2205 01:49:55.880 --> 01:49:57.399 You're somebody could sit in the middle of the table 2206 01:49:57.760 --> 01:49:58.920 and chat with everybody. 2207 01:49:59.119 --> 01:50:01.880 No, this like an I am a Sternum poker if 2208 01:50:01.920 --> 01:50:04.680 ever there was. Oh boy, I'm literally the guy that 2209 01:50:04.800 --> 01:50:07.760 goes like this. Yeah, and just because that could be 2210 01:50:07.800 --> 01:50:10.399 a good thing, I'm not. I'm not going fat head 2211 01:50:10.439 --> 01:50:12.159 and it's here on the set. Doesn't mean that I'm 2212 01:50:12.239 --> 01:50:14.840 the that I'm a middler. But I'm not saying you're 2213 01:50:14.920 --> 01:50:17.600 like Ted Lasso Hunky Dori and everything's filled with rainbow 2214 01:50:17.640 --> 01:50:19.600 and butterflies. I'm not saying you're that guy. But you 2215 01:50:19.720 --> 01:50:21.119 bring a lot, You're you're a glue guy in the 2216 01:50:21.159 --> 01:50:23.159 locker room. You're gonna keep everything together, even if you're 2217 01:50:23.159 --> 01:50:25.479 gonna poke basically everybody at the table. 2218 01:50:25.760 --> 01:50:29.760 I'm the glue guy in the locker room that encourages chaos. Yes, 2219 01:50:31.079 --> 01:50:33.520 sometimes you need that guy. What what well? What happened? 2220 01:50:33.520 --> 01:50:36.600 I don't know. They just they went off on a rant. 2221 01:50:36.640 --> 01:50:37.560 I don't know what happened. 2222 01:50:37.600 --> 01:50:38.359 I was just there. 2223 01:50:38.479 --> 01:50:40.560 They started talking. I let them go. That's just how 2224 01:50:40.600 --> 01:50:40.880 it was. 2225 01:50:41.079 --> 01:50:42.920 Yeah, And then the coach asked you, hey, hey, John, 2226 01:50:43.000 --> 01:50:44.319 can you can you reel them back in now? Like, 2227 01:50:44.359 --> 01:50:45.720 I know you did your whole bit, but can you 2228 01:50:45.840 --> 01:50:47.279 can you bring them back to the planet. 2229 01:50:47.560 --> 01:50:50.479 No? No, No, it's like they're on their own boss. 2230 01:50:50.520 --> 01:50:53.319 You know, I tried my best and they they went 2231 01:50:53.359 --> 01:50:55.840 off and they're running. I mean, that's just how it goes, 2232 01:50:55.880 --> 01:50:59.279 all right, So you need what probably barbecue recommendations. 2233 01:50:58.880 --> 01:51:01.479 Sure, uh whatever, whatever you think that I should be 2234 01:51:01.520 --> 01:51:03.600 going to eat on a Friday night in Atlanta, just 2235 01:51:03.640 --> 01:51:04.119 give it to me. 2236 01:51:04.399 --> 01:51:06.760 Yeah. Well, then we got to work on that. So okay, 2237 01:51:06.840 --> 01:51:08.720 tell you what if you come in and crash on 2238 01:51:09.479 --> 01:51:11.560 on the Friday morning in the ten o'clock hour, we'll 2239 01:51:11.600 --> 01:51:13.760 go over this. So you've given the audience a couple 2240 01:51:13.760 --> 01:51:16.159 of days to think about it. Deal, so you come 2241 01:51:16.239 --> 01:51:18.880 back in in the ten o'clock hour. Who whatever else 2242 01:51:19.000 --> 01:51:21.399 chaos is there, will go over all the other matches. 2243 01:51:21.399 --> 01:51:23.039 We'll talk at Landy and night, and we'll talk about 2244 01:51:23.079 --> 01:51:25.680 food choices and how much time you have on the table. 2245 01:51:26.319 --> 01:51:28.039 You're looking for a good you're looking for a good 2246 01:51:28.079 --> 01:51:30.319 brunch on Saturday before you head to Mercedes Bend. 2247 01:51:30.479 --> 01:51:33.800 Look, nothing nothing heavy, nothing heavy the day of the game. 2248 01:51:33.840 --> 01:51:35.640 We can't be doing that, John, you know, and you 2249 01:51:35.760 --> 01:51:38.760 know why, yes I do. Even though even though the 2250 01:51:38.800 --> 01:51:41.920 bathroom in the booth of the Benz is right is 2251 01:51:42.079 --> 01:51:43.800 right in the booth, we just can't. We can't be 2252 01:51:43.840 --> 01:51:46.199 having those sorts of problems if it's the Houston Dynamo 2253 01:51:46.279 --> 01:51:49.439 at Shell Energy Stadium. Pal Okay, now we're talking. That's 2254 01:51:49.439 --> 01:51:52.079 a wholes of a different color hell. There's a reason 2255 01:51:52.159 --> 01:51:53.880 we call it a hell and a shell. Sir, Oh 2256 01:51:54.000 --> 01:51:57.119 my goodness, I mean like the empty gatorade bottles. And 2257 01:51:57.159 --> 01:51:59.079 now when you have a female broadcast partner, you can't 2258 01:51:59.079 --> 01:52:01.159 be doing that. Like when I was working with Devin Kerr, 2259 01:52:01.560 --> 01:52:04.800 I could potentially get away with that in the sweltering 2260 01:52:04.920 --> 01:52:07.079 heat of the summer in July, after I went for 2261 01:52:07.399 --> 01:52:10.359 a run for whatever reason and I drank seventeen gallons 2262 01:52:10.359 --> 01:52:12.119 of water, and it's like halftime. I got three minutes 2263 01:52:12.119 --> 01:52:14.119 I can execute, we can get it done, or Devin 2264 01:52:14.159 --> 01:52:16.640 can cover for you in a false sure and he's 2265 01:52:16.640 --> 01:52:18.800 acting as sort of like the partition between me and 2266 01:52:18.880 --> 01:52:21.640 the rest of the universe. Now as a female broadcast 2267 01:52:21.720 --> 01:52:24.079 partner and God blessed kinderd Saint Auban, but we can't 2268 01:52:24.119 --> 01:52:26.399 be doing this nonsense. So anyway, I don't know how 2269 01:52:26.439 --> 01:52:27.920 we got here. This is a family show. 2270 01:52:27.960 --> 01:52:31.920 I apologize this whole family show thing that you're talking about. 2271 01:52:32.000 --> 01:52:34.840 I know not of what you speak sir. By the way, 2272 01:52:34.880 --> 01:52:37.520 we have an intruder. My dog has decided, oh he's 2273 01:52:37.520 --> 01:52:40.520 not getting enough. Intention all, we see an open door, 2274 01:52:40.640 --> 01:52:43.800 and yes, there you go, there's John. This is not 2275 01:52:43.920 --> 01:52:46.760 a family show. No, I don't know who misled me 2276 01:52:46.840 --> 01:52:50.479 on that well. And also, by the way, here underneath 2277 01:52:50.600 --> 01:52:52.920 the left hand table is the rowdy man, and he's 2278 01:52:52.960 --> 01:52:57.640 in charge, and he is owt he is out interesting. 2279 01:52:58.000 --> 01:52:59.960 He is the guard who's in charge of it all. 2280 01:53:00.199 --> 01:53:03.800 And so once again you see how the show degrades. 2281 01:53:04.720 --> 01:53:07.680 I am the king of the tangent. Literally, I'm like, 2282 01:53:07.760 --> 01:53:10.800 oh squirrel, you know, I'm you know, that's all good. 2283 01:53:10.920 --> 01:53:16.520 All good hosts have a healthy, if not debilitating version 2284 01:53:16.600 --> 01:53:20.479 of Addabilitating is probably the worst. By the way, what 2285 01:53:20.800 --> 01:53:22.640 is what am I seeing in the chat? Because because 2286 01:53:22.680 --> 01:53:24.720 I think I might be headed to the airport to 2287 01:53:24.800 --> 01:53:27.439 the ten o'clock so bomb biscuits on Highland and Fred's 2288 01:53:27.640 --> 01:53:30.359 Dylan Butler. See, okay, you're gonna have to stop right 2289 01:53:30.399 --> 01:53:34.079 there with the chetik notts. It's cheese steak, Fox Brothers barbecue. 2290 01:53:34.119 --> 01:53:35.680 But I can give you other barbecue. 2291 01:53:35.760 --> 01:53:36.000 David. 2292 01:53:36.439 --> 01:53:40.159 David is giving you Fox Brothers barbecue. Can give you 2293 01:53:40.199 --> 01:53:42.479 another couple of barbecue joints that can add. But it 2294 01:53:42.600 --> 01:53:45.840 depends on your uber range and your travel, So that is, 2295 01:53:45.960 --> 01:53:47.319 are you renting a car or are. 2296 01:53:47.239 --> 01:53:49.800 You uber now ubering? And I don't really like to 2297 01:53:49.880 --> 01:53:51.680 go further than like ten or fifteen minutes. 2298 01:53:52.239 --> 01:53:53.840 I don't. I don't know why. I just like it's 2299 01:53:53.920 --> 01:53:55.600 just the rule that I have with the hotel. 2300 01:53:55.840 --> 01:53:58.600 By the way, why are we recommended cheese stakes in 2301 01:53:58.680 --> 01:54:01.000 a city other than Philadelphia Because I grew up in Jersey, 2302 01:54:01.159 --> 01:54:03.199 my dad went to my dad went to a college 2303 01:54:03.239 --> 01:54:06.119 and in Pennsylvania, in Philly, and like I'm a I'm 2304 01:54:06.159 --> 01:54:07.520 a true cheese steak kind of guy. 2305 01:54:07.640 --> 01:54:09.960 Okay, don't say it, don't be like this is different, 2306 01:54:10.039 --> 01:54:10.439 don't do it. 2307 01:54:10.680 --> 01:54:14.760 No, but we do hear in town have Woodies, which 2308 01:54:15.000 --> 01:54:19.319 is from Philly. Woodies is a Philadelphia based, an origined 2309 01:54:20.199 --> 01:54:21.359 cheese steak joint. 2310 01:54:22.680 --> 01:54:23.640 At launch, though you. 2311 01:54:23.720 --> 01:54:26.039 And I both know that those things don't travel. Just 2312 01:54:26.119 --> 01:54:28.960 because the place in Cincinnati says New York Bagels, it 2313 01:54:28.960 --> 01:54:31.600 ain't New York Bagels. And that's I'll tell you what. 2314 01:54:31.920 --> 01:54:34.520 There's anything that I'm struggling with living in Cincinnati, it's 2315 01:54:34.600 --> 01:54:35.680 it's the pizza and bagels. 2316 01:54:35.800 --> 01:54:36.159 I can't. 2317 01:54:36.279 --> 01:54:38.239 I can't do it, and then their best deli with 2318 01:54:38.319 --> 01:54:42.760 their sandwiches. It's just not I can't. I can't do it. John, 2319 01:54:42.920 --> 01:54:45.359 I'm from Jersey originally. I just need to go back 2320 01:54:45.359 --> 01:54:48.399 where the water is pure and where and by pure 2321 01:54:48.479 --> 01:54:49.199 I mean like what. 2322 01:54:49.800 --> 01:54:50.600 I was gonna say pure. 2323 01:54:51.039 --> 01:54:52.960 Well, I'll tell you no, but the water in New 2324 01:54:53.039 --> 01:54:55.800 York is actually the cleanest water in the United States. 2325 01:54:55.920 --> 01:54:57.479 Did you know that? I was not aware of this. 2326 01:54:57.920 --> 01:55:00.680 It comes there's the longest tunnel. Listen to this. 2327 01:55:00.840 --> 01:55:05.319 The longest tunnel on planet Earth is actually the pipeline 2328 01:55:05.359 --> 01:55:08.600 that they have running from the Catskill Mountains ah running 2329 01:55:08.720 --> 01:55:10.920 down into New York City. So it's really just one 2330 01:55:11.000 --> 01:55:16.199 off water and it's fantastic. But anyway, Okay, so aggressing I. 2331 01:55:16.800 --> 01:55:18.880 Would recommend so Fox Brothers, I would say, is a 2332 01:55:18.920 --> 01:55:22.439 part of the discussion. Fat Mats for barbecue. Okay, so 2333 01:55:22.600 --> 01:55:27.600 fat Matt's Ribshack. Go hungry for both of those. But yeah, 2334 01:55:28.000 --> 01:55:30.880 we can definitely get you oriented when it comes to food. 2335 01:55:31.159 --> 01:55:33.119 And so Friday would have to be the heavier meal 2336 01:55:33.199 --> 01:55:36.279 of the two. Saturday would have to be something brunchy, 2337 01:55:36.439 --> 01:55:38.640 probably Martins for breakfast. 2338 01:55:38.760 --> 01:55:39.560 Or somewhere in there. 2339 01:55:39.640 --> 01:55:41.800 So okay, so we've got forty eight hours to think 2340 01:55:41.840 --> 01:55:44.199 about it or forty fine, we'll be fine. We'll figure 2341 01:55:44.199 --> 01:55:46.800 it out. So if you're crashing on Friday once again, 2342 01:55:47.279 --> 01:55:49.640 that'll be the main topic. Where does the man eat? 2343 01:55:49.960 --> 01:55:50.199 Deal? 2344 01:55:50.680 --> 01:55:53.479 And so go, spend time with Go, spend time with Nala, 2345 01:55:53.680 --> 01:55:55.880 and definitely keep an eye on things. Great to see 2346 01:55:56.000 --> 01:55:58.560 my friend. Don't be a stranger, and we'll see you 2347 01:55:58.600 --> 01:56:00.239 whenever you crash, and if it happens to be in 2348 01:56:00.319 --> 01:56:01.159 forty seven hours, so. 2349 01:56:01.199 --> 01:56:04.520 Be it all right. Appreciate you, John, great family shown. 2350 01:56:05.319 --> 01:56:09.640 Yes, I look, get out Tyler. Terren's putting up with 2351 01:56:09.680 --> 01:56:12.760 the nonsense here in the morning show. And uh so, 2352 01:56:12.880 --> 01:56:14.319 now here's what I think. 2353 01:56:14.840 --> 01:56:17.159 I think. I think that Nala opened the door. 2354 01:56:17.279 --> 01:56:21.560 If you noticed, Tyler was in his studio space, he 2355 01:56:21.720 --> 01:56:23.520 was in the he was in the studio to Tyler, 2356 01:56:24.319 --> 01:56:26.479 and then all of a sudden, you see the door open. 2357 01:56:28.279 --> 01:56:31.640 Nala has a fantastic sense of when it's time to 2358 01:56:31.720 --> 01:56:36.079 go out, time to go your guest spot was only 2359 01:56:36.119 --> 01:56:39.000 supposed to be twenty minutes. We went sideways with it. 2360 01:56:40.239 --> 01:56:43.399 You were there, you're sitting there, You're over time. You 2361 01:56:43.479 --> 01:56:45.960 went through the first ot period, the first fifteen minutes. 2362 01:56:46.720 --> 01:56:49.359 It's time for the coaches to to recongregate after the 2363 01:56:49.399 --> 01:56:52.920 first fifteen to get ready for the second fifteen. Nala's like, nah, fam, 2364 01:56:53.000 --> 01:56:54.840 we're done, You're you're out. Time to go out for 2365 01:56:54.880 --> 01:56:58.880 a walk, dude, that's you know, and like and and 2366 01:56:59.000 --> 01:57:00.760 I can see Tyler in the green and he's still, 2367 01:57:00.880 --> 01:57:03.119 you know, he's still kind of hovering and trying to 2368 01:57:03.159 --> 01:57:05.039 see what else is going on here for the last 2369 01:57:05.079 --> 01:57:07.680 handful of minutes here on the show. But no, it 2370 01:57:07.880 --> 01:57:10.319 is mass nonsense hysteria. And we try to talk a 2371 01:57:10.319 --> 01:57:13.119 little soccer. That's just kind of how we work. But no, 2372 01:57:13.199 --> 01:57:15.319 I think, I think once again, much like the rowdy 2373 01:57:15.399 --> 01:57:19.119 man under here, who is literally rowdy, came in at 2374 01:57:19.119 --> 01:57:22.359 about nine twenty and he's got a bed under the table. 2375 01:57:22.439 --> 01:57:24.359 For those unfamiliar, he has a bed under one of 2376 01:57:24.399 --> 01:57:27.279 the tables here in the office. He's just like, I'm out, 2377 01:57:27.920 --> 01:57:30.560 you know, you move. I hear the leather chair move. 2378 01:57:30.920 --> 01:57:32.479 Then I know it's time for me to get up. 2379 01:57:32.560 --> 01:57:35.119 And that means either food or a road trip, one 2380 01:57:35.119 --> 01:57:37.880 of the two. Time to go outside. That's how Rowdy's wired. 2381 01:57:37.920 --> 01:57:40.640 He hears the leather shift here in the office and 2382 01:57:40.760 --> 01:57:45.199 he knows it's time to boogie. Nahla opens doors. That 2383 01:57:45.359 --> 01:57:50.520 is how talented she is. She opens doors, I mean no, 2384 01:57:50.640 --> 01:57:52.560 And the thing is, she didn't even bang on the door. 2385 01:57:53.359 --> 01:57:56.239 It's just like I'm gonna open the door. The door 2386 01:57:56.279 --> 01:57:59.000 didn't make any noise. She was stealth about it. I 2387 01:57:59.119 --> 01:58:01.439 mean seriously, it took me a second to realize what 2388 01:58:01.520 --> 01:58:04.279 was going on because Tyler is in his studio and 2389 01:58:04.680 --> 01:58:06.279 you can go back and watch this on YouTube later, 2390 01:58:06.399 --> 01:58:08.760 and this is me recollecting what we've just had happen. 2391 01:58:09.479 --> 01:58:13.479 So literally, Tyler's in his in his space, he's in 2392 01:58:13.760 --> 01:58:18.239 the studio to Tyler, Nala open the door, like no, 2393 01:58:18.560 --> 01:58:22.960 no sound, no nothing, no creaking, no like dark shadows, noise, 2394 01:58:23.079 --> 01:58:27.439 Friday the thirteenth, stuff, nothing. Literally, she opens the door, 2395 01:58:27.880 --> 01:58:31.359 comes around from the back and I can guarantee you 2396 01:58:31.520 --> 01:58:36.239 she's off to Tyler's left, and she's like, you know, literally, 2397 01:58:36.880 --> 01:58:38.199 she's like Saba of Janizza. 2398 01:58:38.479 --> 01:58:42.520 Literally she's like this, it's Nala time out. We gotta go. 2399 01:58:43.359 --> 01:58:46.199 Literally, that is how I perceive what happened at the 2400 01:58:46.279 --> 01:58:49.079 Costa de Tyler in the studio to Tyler, so you 2401 01:58:49.199 --> 01:58:53.680 now have forty seven hours to figure out where Tyler 2402 01:58:53.800 --> 01:58:56.359 is going to eat, what he's going to eat. Give 2403 01:58:56.439 --> 01:59:03.439 him as many suggestions as humanly possible. Oh oh, Frisbee time. 2404 01:59:03.560 --> 01:59:05.880 I was not aware of this, and Tyler's in the 2405 01:59:06.079 --> 01:59:09.079 DM chat he says, frisbee time. Okay, now I get it. 2406 01:59:09.319 --> 01:59:12.000 Go spend go, spend time with knowledge, Go go, go Frisbee, 2407 01:59:12.800 --> 01:59:17.560 Go Frisbee, have fun. An elite scene out Tyler. I'm 2408 01:59:17.680 --> 01:59:19.720 tempted to bring Tyler in, but I know that Nolin's 2409 01:59:19.760 --> 01:59:22.279 gonna get mad because once you're in the green room, 2410 01:59:22.359 --> 01:59:25.119 until you either do an Irish goodbye yourself or I 2411 01:59:25.239 --> 01:59:27.880 dump you, you're still there and you can still have conversations. 2412 01:59:27.920 --> 01:59:30.479 But it apparently she's an elite athlete. There goes Tyler. Okay, 2413 01:59:31.479 --> 01:59:36.239 apparently a frisbee time, an elite athlete in Cincinnati. So 2414 01:59:36.399 --> 01:59:39.479 once again, full credit to Tyler for hanging out for 2415 01:59:39.479 --> 01:59:42.760 as lung as he did. That's crazy, absolutely nuts.
