WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:02.319 So that means that since it is ten o'clock, we 2 00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:05.200 do the hot tag and we bring in Dylan Butler 3 00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:10.599 and we find out was so uh I heard that 4 00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:14.080 Newcastle might be changing their crest. 5 00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:15.759 They're going they might be going away. 6 00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:18.039 They're going away from what they currently have for something 7 00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:20.960 that is probably more marketable and easier to turn. I 8 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.000 think when it comes to selling gear, did you see this? 9 00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:28.239 I didn't know, and I don't know. They don't. They 10 00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:31.199 don't seem to have a problem selling gear to the 11 00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:37.280 hardcore fans. I guess they're trying to get new audiences, 12 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:45.119 as you know, marketing execs. I guess we'll do. But yes, 13 00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:48.679 and so manage, by the way, tend to be uh 14 00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:55.560 spoiler free. Oh so, as I said, I I was 15 00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:03.039 on the last match night cover right, yeah, I think 16 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:09.799 ended around one or so one one, and and that 17 00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.319 match was the seven o'clock one against Chelsea, right, huge one. Right, 18 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:19.359 So uh you know, hit hit the DVR the key, 19 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.040 here's the key to this whole thing. Okay, stayed off 20 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:28.159 my phone the entire time, so I slept and soil 21 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.519 whenever I slept until watched the match. Kept Actually I 22 00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:35.319 didn't even have the phone like instead of like I 23 00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.239 didn't have it upright, I had it down. Oh wow, yeah, 24 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.480 like no one is there. Could have been like uh, 25 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.680 you know, I don't know anything. It could have been happening. 26 00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.400 I was watching I was watching the Newcastle Chelsea match. 27 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.280 So oh man, a little. 28 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:54.000 More manageable Sunday. 29 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.439 It's eleven thirty, yeah, Arsenal, Yeah, absolutely true. 30 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.319 Uh when you look right now as we are at 31 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.200 Major League Soccer and the chaos, I mean, obviously we 32 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.480 had Tyler on to start things off here on Wednesdays 33 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.240 as we always do and discussing it. 34 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:12.199 How was then he comes on here and drinks. Is 35 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:13.000 that what happened around? 36 00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:14.319 No? No, he said that. 37 00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.719 Well, I mean he had that might be you know, 38 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.120 happy to do that sometimes considering what's been going on 39 00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:23.400 here in Atlanta this year. But you know, they do 40 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:26.560 watch alongs and so as a part of their you know, 41 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.159 as a part of their external programming, and so they're 42 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.960 doing it their watch along tonight, where if you dumped 43 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.639 out whatever the contents of your alcohol were on the 44 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.840 sidewalk in Austin, it would instantly turn into smoke. So 45 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:43.639 nothing like the one hundred and twelve degree temperatures that 46 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.759 are going to be going on tonight for Atlanta and Austin. 47 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:47.919 We were getting in, we were getting into the watch 48 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.360 alongs and things. Right now it's a key time. You 49 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.439 got three matches in a week for the first of three, 50 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:56.479 it's like in two of three weeks, you've got three 51 00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.159 matches in a week. You get to the halfway point 52 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:03.039 of the season and you're kind of staring at right 53 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.439 now stuff in the midweek, and you got some teams 54 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:08.680 that are you got some teams in the West that 55 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:10.639 are hurting. You got some teams in the East, including 56 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.639 Atlanta that are hurting, and some of the standard names 57 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.120 in the the East and the West. But everybody's looking 58 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.960 at Vancouver and are we are we to the point 59 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.159 now at Vancouver where it's we're stopping waiting for the 60 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.199 other shoe to drop and just accepting them for where 61 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.120 they are, that they've only lost once in their first 62 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.520 twelve and that they're that they're right now. Uh, don't wish, 63 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:32.400 don't wish it because it ain't happening right now. 64 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.080 When it comes to down, you know, be. 65 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.719 Funny, right like if if Ryan Gold comes back and 66 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:42.800 then instantly like they start losing and like like, oh, 67 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.199 it's actually not having Ryan Gold was was what was helping. Yeah, 68 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:52.000 I mean, listen, it's uh, it's remarkable, Like it's not. 69 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.319 I thought a year ago they were that team maybe 70 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:03.039 just below or like their best the best version of 71 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:09.560 themselves was was maybe like a tier below the elite teams, 72 00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.439 but that was like where they were gonna top off at. 73 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:18.800 And again, you know, I feel like, you know, outside 74 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:23.959 of maybe people in Vancouver, you know, I was, I 75 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:29.279 was one of their biggest supporters around, you know, and 76 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.040 we had this conversation back when Ryan Gold was even signed. 77 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.199 I thought he was it was a great signing. I 78 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.360 thought it was crazy underrated. I thought Brian White was underrated. 79 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:40.879 You know. I don't know if it was a situation 80 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:42.519 where they're just like out in the West coast, right 81 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.319 they played these late night matches for us on the 82 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:53.319 East coast. But but yeah, man, like they it's it's crazy, 83 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:57.399 like it's not. It defies for a league that is 84 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:02.600 as illogical as MLS is, as it defies logic, Like 85 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:05.560 I mean, the parts of their like it makes like 86 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:07.319 it makes sense when you look at it, but it 87 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:11.160 defies logic that they have made such a leap into 88 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:17.959 now becoming this team that is, you know, challenging for 89 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:24.839 uh points, you know, records for Conka CAF champion, like 90 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:28.160 they're the best team you know on on on this 91 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.600 side of the world, Like I don't know, it's. 92 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.839 Wild, Yeah, I mean, and you know, we're we're never 93 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.120 wanted to dial up the hype machine here, but if 94 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:42.399 you were to, if this pace we're to maintain, you'd 95 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.360 be finishing with eighty one points for Vancouver. If you 96 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:49.160 kept this pace up for an entire season, thirty six matches, 97 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.839 you'd be you'd be at eighty eighty one points. So 98 00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.959 uh slightly average year in Vancouver where there are some 99 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.040 players who I'm sure are not even household names in 100 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:03.120 their own household. And then you look at Minnesota who 101 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:07.240 is currently second, and they're the model of consistency three 102 00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:08.519 to one and two both at the home and on 103 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:14.879 the road. And Eric Ramsey basically is just like, what 104 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:19.160 is that circular thing that we're supposed to play with 105 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.399 lowest possession numbers in Major League soccer because of how 106 00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:25.920 he wants to do things. But you're clinical and you're 107 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.839 finishing and you want that regardless. But you've got great 108 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.319 you've got great defense, Dan Saint Clair, and that you 109 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:35.879 might possess the ball thirty five percent of the time 110 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.120 if you're lucky. And everybody keeps looking at those numbers 111 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.279 and it's like, how is that sustainable? But so far 112 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.759 it's been sustainable for Minnesota in one of the more 113 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:47.040 odd approaches that we've seen in quite some time, and 114 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:48.040 trying to win matches. 115 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:53.160 Yeah, and it's not. It's not the energy drink soccer 116 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:59.319 ball as Cootie style. So listen, I love it. I mean, 117 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.959 you know it's it's and we've said this also before. 118 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:07.480 I feel like it's it's part of the evolution of 119 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:11.360 this league where you've got different playing styles and different 120 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:19.360 ways and you know, it's it's it's not a you know, 121 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:23.000 it's it's it's not a one way to play league, right, 122 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.879 So I think I think, you know, styles make fights, 123 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.160 and I think that's that's what makes it great. Right, 124 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.279 Like you you you go into it and you think 125 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.759 about a chess match, right, a team that you know 126 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.439 what happens when they you know, when they play Philly, right, 127 00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:42.879 like who's gonna nobody, Nobody wants the ball. 128 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.560 It's just It's like pong in the old days. Just 129 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:48.759 send it, just send it, and it just goes back 130 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:49.879 and forth the entire time. 131 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.560 It is another one too, like if you want to go, 132 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:56.759 I can't. Like obviously, now Brian White isn't on the 133 00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.560 all Underrated team, but Robin Lude is another one too. 134 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.920 Who I think you know, maybe he doesn't get enough 135 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:03.120 credit for what he does. 136 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.639 Okay, since you've gone down this road and we're at 137 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:07.560 the one third pole, who would be who else would 138 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:10.160 be on your Dylan Butler all Underrated Team? 139 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.480 Oh jeez, I haven't even of course I bring it up, 140 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.279 but I hadn't. I haven't really rolled. 141 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:16.839 Up all right, Well, then write it down for next week. 142 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.759 Ye all Underrated team from Dylan Butler at the one 143 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.480 third mark. But yeah, I mean San Diego has maintained, 144 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.000 they have sustained, and everybody's sitting there going, okay, we 145 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.160 thought that after the hot start and to your point 146 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:34.399 about you know, to your point about Ryan Gold. 147 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:35.519 You know, Chuky Lozano. 148 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.200 The Chuky gets injured in the first home match and 149 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.960 they continue to play well, and then you're thinking, okay, 150 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.480 well maybe maybe Chukey can you kind of stay injured 151 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:45.120 for a little bit, well, you know, they're sea legs 152 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:47.840 unders and then they kind. 153 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:52.840 Of Dryers become the like, excuse me, before the start 154 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:55.159 of the year, you'd been like, yep, clearly the best 155 00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:59.559 DP in San Diego is is Chooky and Dryer has been. 156 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:02.320 Yes, and so he has been a mainstay on my 157 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:06.159 fantasy team. Full disclosure, there you go. So you know 158 00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:08.679 it's they regress to the mean a little bit. They 159 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:13.200 tried to build through the spine, and now San Diego 160 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.360 seems to have kind of come back to It's like, okay, 161 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.200 we took that first body shot and now we're you know, 162 00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:20.879 we caught our breath a little bit, and now we're 163 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.159 getting back to being adjusted in the league, in the 164 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:24.080 Western Conference. 165 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.879 And I think that outside. 166 00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:30.399 Of you know, one and two, I think that three 167 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:34.399 through seven, if not eight, I think it's just gonna 168 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:36.039 be one of those street fights for the rest of 169 00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.720 the year where you're gonna see somebody have a good week, 170 00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.960 whether it's Portland or Seattle or LAFC. And then they're 171 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.240 gonna hop up, and then someone else hops up. And 172 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.360 so I think that the West just for the casual observer. 173 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:51.559 If you take if you take Minnesota out, and if 174 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:56.080 you take you take Vancouver out, then I think that 175 00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.600 it's gonna be fun to see three through nine, at 176 00:09:58.679 --> 00:09:59.759 least in the Western Conference. 177 00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:02.399 But because of how much chaos it could be for. 178 00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:10.480 Sure, you know, in Seattle, Seattle getting results with you know, 179 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:14.440 without their main stars who are hurt, right, that's impressive. 180 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:26.720 Apparently Roy Kent is doing it right from coming from England, Portland, 181 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.679 you know, getting results as as as well. So yeah, 182 00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:36.240 I think I think, you know, that's another fun part 183 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:40.279 of this league as well. It's it's uh, you know, 184 00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.279 there isn't It's maddening for a fan, no doubt, but 185 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:47.759 there isn't that super consistency week to week where you know, yeah, 186 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:52.000 I mean it. It is a roller coaster a bit 187 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.200 right among these teams, you know, with the exception, I guess, 188 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.480 have the very good and the very and the very bad. 189 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.879 Yeah, so all right, so since you mentioned the very bad, 190 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:10.200 it is stunning to see how Schleprock seems to have 191 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:13.519 taken over in Carson, California. And it's it's like one 192 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:17.000 thing or another and it's an own goal and yamane 193 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.600 face turns into also. 194 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:24.120 A spectacular goal. Yes, and It wasn't like a deflection 195 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.200 off of a heel off of a free kick like 196 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:30.679 this was. This was like I am going to put 197 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:31.960 this ball into my own net. 198 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:34.759 Yeah, and it is. 199 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.440 You know, you I don't know if you can sit 200 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:43.600 there and go, well, you know, this might be the 201 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.600 this might be how one player does in fact make 202 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:47.240 a difference. 203 00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:50.000 But you can't be it's not on one guy. 204 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:51.879 It can't be anymore well, and I know that that's 205 00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:52.159 the thing. 206 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.519 It's like you look at it and you're like, well, 207 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.879 you thought that it was going to be, you know, 208 00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:01.519 no offense and not having Ricky put was gonna lend 209 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:04.360 itself to the rough start while they were trying to 210 00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:07.279 figure out what was going on, and uh, Joseph painTill 211 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.000 was trying to come back and get healthy. So you 212 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.639 might have had one and a half of your killer pees. 213 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:15.919 But then painTill comes back and then it turns into 214 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.559 what it is and it's not improving, and it just 215 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.240 seems like, uh, this literally is like droopy Dog and 216 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.879 Schleprock and you know, the in the black cloud and 217 00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:29.440 everything is hanging over Carson, California, and you know, you 218 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:33.519 send the Goodyear blimp up from next door, and it could, 219 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.120 you know, blow the fans as much as humanly possible 220 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:37.720 to try to send that marine layer away. 221 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:39.759 And it ain't happening right now. It is just bad. 222 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:40.840 It's a bad scene. 223 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:44.720 Yeah, I will I will agree with Greg Vanny and 224 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:47.600 in in in this one point that obviously, if you 225 00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:54.080 take away three designated players off of any team, they're 226 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.000 not nearly what that team should be. 227 00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:58.559 M hm. 228 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:03.879 That said, and every team deals with injuries, and I'm 229 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:06.399 sure there's been a few teams who have been without 230 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.600 all three dp's over the course of the last year 231 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:15.519 or two. But those teams also don't lose seven nil. Uh, 232 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.840 you know, they don't. They don't get off to a 233 00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:23.120 to a winless in twelve like it's not they don't 234 00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:27.120 go to get to historic lows. Right, That's that is 235 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:30.559 exclusively in lag thing right now. 236 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:31.879 Yeah, it is. 237 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:37.639 Oh, I don't know, I know, we run we run 238 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:39.519 out of things to say, almost and it's like you're 239 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:40.399 to the point where. 240 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:42.559 You're almost now they're in Philly tonight. 241 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.360 Yeah, and so and it's like you're you're in Philly 242 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:49.039 and we ran through the schedule and it's like there 243 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:52.039 was a match I think it was. I think RSL 244 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:55.399 was coming late in the month, and I thought that 245 00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:58.960 that might be the first opportunity for a win is 246 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:03.080 later this month, and your first win would come at 247 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:04.240 the halfway point. 248 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:04.600 Of the season. 249 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:07.919 That that is, it's literally you're you're to the point 250 00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.000 where you're trying to find the live chicken at this point. 251 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.720 Yeah. And and you're in Philly tonight, and and the 252 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:21.600 weather is going to be god awful the soccer might 253 00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:24.919 be as well. Uh, and then you go home for 254 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:31.639 TRAFFICO like to fit to like and and look, you 255 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:37.440 know with uh, you know, like I'm I think we've 256 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:39.480 said this, like I'm I'm like, I'm a fan of 257 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:44.559 those kind of a little bit under the radar rivalry games, 258 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:48.759 you know, like I love I love Rocky Mountain Cup, 259 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:53.000 I love the Canadian Classic. But look, traffic, Oh, is 260 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.320 that top rivalry? 261 00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:55.639 Right? 262 00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:05.519 I do not rem member there being usually those teams 263 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:10.159 are fairly in the same area, right in the same 264 00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:14.519 zip code. Yeah, I mean it's it's not even close 265 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:19.960 right now, Like it's been historically bad and it doesn't 266 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:22.559 it doesn't look like it's getting any better. 267 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:25.360 I mean, you've got somebody who's getting curb service from 268 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:27.559 the valet, and then you've got somebody who's like parked 269 00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:29.600 in like the fourth sub basement trying to figure out 270 00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:30.320 where the car is. 271 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:32.360 I mean, it's can you get the car to start? 272 00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:34.399 Oh it's yeah, bird poop. 273 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:38.679 It's got flyers all over it, like that park here. 274 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.200 Yeah, and all the all the boot on the tire, 275 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:42.639 all the tickets that. 276 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:44.240 Got from sitting there, you know. 277 00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:46.759 And you can't you can't bring the record down to 278 00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:48.600 the sub basement to get it because the record can't 279 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:49.799 navigate all that space. 280 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:52.759 You have to have the trophy in the trunk. 281 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.039 And yeah, it's like a crow bar. 282 00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:58.440 Yeah, it's like then there's like like a seven iron 283 00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:00.320 that's like one of those old per Semon woods. 284 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:02.279 It's kind of hanging out of the back seat, you know. 285 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:04.440 Just uh it is. 286 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:09.879 I cannot remember a team that was as successful as 287 00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:13.879 it was the year before, completely and totally just falling 288 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.519 down on itself and tripping down the stairs as much 289 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:18.039 as we've seen Lag do this year. 290 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.320 He's funny too, because like Red Bull, the previous time 291 00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:24.679 they made MLS Cup, they did so like I think 292 00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:26.679 they made the playoffs the last day of the regular seasons, 293 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.320 like they weren't like super great during the year and 294 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.000 then the year after they made MLS Cup they were horrible. 295 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.159 But like they weren't very good the year before either, 296 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:39.279 like they just happened to kind of trip into the 297 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:43.279 playoffs and and and get on a get on a 298 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.960 a hot streak a little bit and and fortunes went 299 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:50.840 their way. But the next year, you know, they they made, uh, 300 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:58.039 they made Champions League and they dropped. They lost to 301 00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:05.440 W Connection from from snad W Connection. Wow. I went, 302 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:07.960 I went to I went to that, I went to 303 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:13.880 that away match actually nice and Marabella Trinidad nice. 304 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:17.519 That's that's strong. Uh. 305 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.759 By the way, says Luis Marlow has released in the 306 00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:24.200 last couple of minutes that Domi Torn is not going 307 00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:27.200 to be Chievas as new coach. Negotiations between Chievas and 308 00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:30.240 Domy Torent have fallen through after he left h I 309 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:32.839 thought to go San Luis last couple of weeks ago. 310 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:37.200 So can confirmed Torant's arrival at Chievas is completely off 311 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:40.960 the table. Difficulties in reaching an agreement and so now 312 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:43.680 it could be that Domiye Torent might be going to 313 00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:48.880 Ariados de Monterrey. He and Gabriel Milito are the two 314 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.400 big contenders to take over that gig. 315 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:57.839 So that why why maybe maybe maybe cash is the answer, 316 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:02.000 but oh, I'm sure I would anyone want to be 317 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:06.960 a head coach, uh for for Legams team. 318 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.319 That's that's that's the issue, because the churn rate is 319 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:15.720 very high. I mean literally, you're going into that anticipating 320 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:17.880 getting sacked. So you are going in there for a 321 00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:21.720 cash grab because there is no sense of stability in Legamakis. 322 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:23.839 And so that's uh, never. 323 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:26.119 Mind buying a house. You'ren't even renting a house. Well, 324 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:27.000 you're in a hotel. 325 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.079 Yeah, it's like I'm doing the weekly hotel thing and 326 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:32.559 it's all it's all there that that ain't happening for me. 327 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:36.839 So uh yeah, that's just that, uh ah, that ain't there. 328 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:39.599 Uh juice boxes. Tonight, we did mention a couple of 329 00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:41.759 other matches. We did mention a couple of matches out 330 00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.880 of the blocks. Uh, NYC is an underdog at DC United. 331 00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:48.839 NYC is almost a plus two hundred in the composite 332 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:51.920 going up against the DC United, who is a plus 333 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:53.160 one twenty. 334 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:55.359 That seems like a rather large margin, sir. 335 00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:02.519 Yeah, again, I don't. 336 00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:04.359 Folks about this. 337 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:10.440 They seem to recommend make during on Major League Soccer. 338 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:13.599 No Orlando and Charlotte. Orlando is a purple team is 339 00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:17.680 a minus one twenty and Charlotte is a plus a 340 00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:21.480 three to four in the composite. I don't think we 341 00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:24.480 could have an MLS match day without either wil Saha 342 00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:28.079 or Dean Smith yelling into the breeze, and they get 343 00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:29.480 to do it now with the purple team as a 344 00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:30.799 decided underdog tonight. 345 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:31.359 What do you think. 346 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:34.640 I think that's an interesting match, you know, it's one 347 00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:36.359 of the especially I think for the early kickoffs. I 348 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:38.359 think that's what I'm going to keep an eye out for, 349 00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:41.720 just out of curiosity. I mean, one, it's kind of 350 00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:45.200 like what are what Orlando is? 351 00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:45.400 Well? 352 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:47.240 I mean, what of either team is showing up? 353 00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:47.480 Right? 354 00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:50.720 Like what Orlando is showing up? They were the team 355 00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:57.720 that couldn't get scored on for like five straight games. 356 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:01.279 They didn't do a lot of scoring themselves, and then 357 00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:05.119 and then then you just get into this like drunk 358 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:08.599 match with with New England where they both you know, 359 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:13.319 it was like six goals combined. So I don't know 360 00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:16.720 what to expect out of that one. You know, Charlotte 361 00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:22.240 on the road isn't Charlotte at home clearly, but I 362 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:24.200 could see why Orlando obviously would be would be a 363 00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.720 favorite there. I mean, you know, Philly, Philly l a 364 00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:35.079 for obvious reasons. Is you know you you you watch 365 00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:36.440 that one out of curiosity. 366 00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:42.039 Lag is a plus four hundred. By the way, eight 367 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:43.400 touching that one for nothing? 368 00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:44.079 Is that? 369 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:45.960 Is that how many goals too? That they're expected to 370 00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:47.440 plus four hundred? 371 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.720 That's I mean, Philly's a minus one fifty nine, Draws 372 00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:53.680 a plus three oh one, and Lag is a plus 373 00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:57.759 four hundred. Uh, Cincinnati's at Toronto. They're favored on the road, 374 00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:00.839 which I find interesting because traditionally folks going up to 375 00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.720 Bemo you always end up as a dog, even though 376 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.240 you would be the favorite on paper. But they never 377 00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:09.559 played the games on paper, as we are told. Minnesota 378 00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:12.519 at Houston, Minnesota's favored on the road of the plus 379 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:15.640 one forty eight. Nashville and Red Bulls at g Otis 380 00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.160 at eight thirty. Nashville's a minus one twenty two, red 381 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:19.920 Bulls almost a plus three hundred. 382 00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:22.759 Yeah, I mean that's that's another one. I think that 383 00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.680 that's interesting, you know, with obviously read but coming off 384 00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:33.680 that historic win, they go to they go to Nashville. Yeah, 385 00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:36.839 I think that's the one to watch as well. I mean, unfortunately, 386 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:42.200 the only like rivalry week match of the midweek is 387 00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:45.559 you know, two teams that aren't really playing too well 388 00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:47.599 right now, right Saint Louis and SKC. 389 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:50.880 You're not in Kansas anymore. I've seen the billboard in 390 00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:52.200 the scarf. I know how that works. 391 00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:55.039 Yeah, so Nashville in Atlanta. 392 00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:57.000 By the way, I know you I'm sure you know. 393 00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:58.519 I just jams down here, but I'm sure this has 394 00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:02.559 been part of the cars. You've got to win that game, yep, right, 395 00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:04.079 Like you have to win that game, yep. 396 00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:06.799 Like, and we you know you're like we mentioned that 397 00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:09.039 you you have five matches left in May. It's a 398 00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:12.359 it's a three matches in seven days. Then you play 399 00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:14.480 like on Sunday, and then you end up with three 400 00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:17.640 matches in seven days to wrap up the month. And 401 00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:20.400
