Speaker 1: Oh, come on, man, yeahs.
Speaker 2: Scoop for dude gets Friday.
Speaker 3: Day a little difficult when you have a computer keyboard
Speaker 3: and you're trying to like balance ninety eight different things.
Speaker 3: So it is Friday, and John hear you there. Every
Speaker 3: time the time I have to close the computer and
Speaker 3: open it back up. That's why I have to adjust everything.
Speaker 3: So once again, welcome one final day to a hotel
Speaker 3: room in Making, Georgia. And so as we go here,
Speaker 3: we're gonna get you ready for the weekend. We'll lay
Speaker 3: out everything for you, and it is previews and previews
Speaker 3: and previews of all the things. And I mean that
Speaker 3: seriously because it's all the previews. So coming up in
Speaker 3: just a little bit morning, Dgram And here's the rundown
Speaker 3: of the day. So rundown of the day is obviously
Speaker 3: opening kickoff coming up in just a little bit. And
Speaker 3: then from there we'll see if our friends from a
Speaker 3: Beyond Girls Mentoring can join us at nine point thirty
Speaker 3: and we will catch up with them and find out
Speaker 3: what's going on in their world. Right now, we're in
Speaker 3: the heart of the we're in the heart of the
Speaker 3: high school season. So I imagine that there's a lot of
Speaker 3: mentoring on a bunch of different levels going on right now,
Speaker 3: and we'll see if our friends from beyond Goals can
Speaker 3: join for the Friday free kick coming up at the
Speaker 3: bottom of the hour. Then after that, once again, as always,
Speaker 3: our number two is we can whip around patent pending
Speaker 3: trademark coming sooner hopefully rather than later, and then we'll
Speaker 3: get you through everything in Major League Soccer. We'll get
Speaker 3: you through all the news of the morning, We'll get
Speaker 3: you through everything on the preview.
Speaker 1: Side in.
Speaker 3: England and believe it or not, And if you remember
Speaker 3: earlier this week USL Championship USL League One getting started,
Speaker 3: there's some storylines there. If you missed, Kaylor Hodges and
Speaker 3: our buddies at the USL Show, their Wednesday night program
Speaker 3: dealt with the season premiere of that league. We'll go
Speaker 3: through some of the juice boxes and some of the matchups,
Speaker 3: specifically in League one involving teams on our footprint and
Speaker 3: the new teams that are coming forward in USL League One.
Speaker 3: But if you're a hardcore and you're a die hard
Speaker 3: in those two leagues, go back and listen to our
Speaker 3: friends with the USL Show and with Kaylor's segment that
Speaker 3: he did back on Tuesday, the ten thirty segment where
Speaker 3: we kind of broke everything down to get you ready
Speaker 3: for twenty twenty five in USL Championship. USL League One
Speaker 3: NWSL has their Challenge Cup going on and that is
Speaker 3: this weekend as well, and also MLS Next Pro. It
Speaker 3: is another go round of MLS Next Pro that Land
Speaker 3: United two. You will get your action at the fraction
Speaker 3: tonight involving Red Bulls two and Landy United two. And
Speaker 3: I like the idea at least from it from a
Speaker 3: travel standpoint where you have either before or after, and
Speaker 3: obviously since the season hasn't started yet, so it's before
Speaker 3: in this particular instance with it land United two and
Speaker 3: Red Bulls two, where you have the lead in and
Speaker 3: you have the second team come in and it's ahead
Speaker 3: of time, and so if the first team needs any reinforcements,
Speaker 3: if it's a road match, then you have that particular
Speaker 3: opportunity for a Red Bull so coming into town early,
Speaker 3: Red Bulls two taking on a Lanty United two of
Speaker 3: the Fraction Tonight pregame show at seven o'clock on the
Speaker 3: SDH Network over on our Mixler site Soccer down here
Speaker 3: dot mixler dot com, or you can go to Soccer
Speaker 3: down here dot net. Go to the listen tab, click
Speaker 3: that and you get the Landy Knighted two where the
Speaker 3: proud home of the twos and we'll continue to be
Speaker 3: that for the twenty twenty five seasons. So all of
Speaker 3: your matchups with at Lanty United two that we can
Speaker 3: cover with manpower, we will have. Otherwise we'll have postgame
Speaker 3: reports and things like that. But once again at Lanty
Speaker 3: Nighty two kicking off tonight action at the Fraction at
Speaker 3: Fifth Third Bank Stadium in Kennesaw seven o'clock pregame with
Speaker 3: Madison Cruise. Jason will have the call for you at
Speaker 3: seven thirty if you missed it yesterday, Jason was up
Speaker 3: in LJ. Big shout out to our friends up at
Speaker 3: Gilmer and the Bobcats were hosting Heritage Catoosa last night
Speaker 3: and it was I think it was once again it
Speaker 3: was a great environment. You know, we can get Jason
Speaker 3: to come on and maybe talk about the tacos that
Speaker 3: we have up there, but now, I was great to
Speaker 3: see our friends up in LJ last night morning, David,
Speaker 3: and so it was that continues with the High School
Speaker 3: side of things, presented by our friends at Kaiser Permanente.
Speaker 3: So this weekend, once again, it's the TWESDA Tonight on
Speaker 3: the SDH Network on our mixer site and you catch
Speaker 3: all the recaps and everything after the fact. And also
Speaker 3: once again Atlanta United hosting Red Bulls tomorrow night that's
Speaker 3: at Mercedes Benz and that is on Star ninety four.
Speaker 3: I believe we'll get Jason to cut the promo for
Speaker 3: me in a second morning Abbey, and then when Jason
Speaker 3: comes on slated for ten thirty, we'll have him go
Speaker 3: over everything that's on his mind when it comes to
Speaker 3: both the twos and with it Landy United. So it'll
Speaker 3: be these kinds of previews coming up when Jason drops
Speaker 3: in on Friday, so we'll go over the twos and
Speaker 3: we'll discuss what's going on with it Landy United. So
Speaker 3: Atlanta United Saturday Night the twues tonight once again either
Speaker 3: in Kennesaw or on our mixed lore side at Soccer
Speaker 3: Down Here dot mixlert dot com. And then we're going
Speaker 3: to kick back things on Monday. We'll be back to normal.
Speaker 3: I'll be back in the studio and we will get
Speaker 3: your role in there with the high school schedule, and
Speaker 3: so literally here's.
Speaker 1: How it's gonna go.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm down here and making for and I
Speaker 3: guess this is technically opening Kickoff, brought to us by
Speaker 3: our friends at Kickoff Coffee and Kickoff Coffeeco dot com.
Speaker 3: QR code to be found someplace else. Just go to
Speaker 3: the website and you can buy out the store. We'll
Speaker 3: get to that in a second. So I'm down here
Speaker 3: and making for the basketball championships for high school and
Speaker 3: so I will be coming home Sunday afternoon. Two more days.
Speaker 3: We have today and we have Saturday. Saturday is our
Speaker 3: earliest start at eleven o'clock in the morning and we
Speaker 3: go until maybe nine, nine thirty or so. And today
Speaker 3: it's the same thing, Kickoff, tip Off, Kickoff. Yes, we
Speaker 3: start one o'clock on GPB and all the GPB sports
Speaker 3: elements and all the social medias is the kids Say
Speaker 3: and sports app, Twitch, Twitter, YouTube, GPB Sports, you name it,
Speaker 3: we're there on the end on the app. So today
Speaker 3: lower divisions, actually Division one is going to be held
Speaker 3: today and tomorrow. We have D two today with Washington,
Speaker 3: Wilkes and Wilcox County and we have the boys side
Speaker 3: Savannah and MCA. That's today, and I think division one
Speaker 3: is tomorrow is a part of the discussion, so that's
Speaker 3: your lower division. I can go over them at the
Speaker 3: end of the show and we'll let you find out
Speaker 3: what's going on. So it is today and tomorrow, and
Speaker 3: then once tomorrow is over, drive home. But I have
Speaker 3: been told I'm supposed to stop at the Fresh Air
Speaker 3: Barbecue location here in Macon. Traditionally what I do is
Speaker 3: I will go to Old Clinton Barbecue on the Gray Highway,
Speaker 3: which is about a twenty minute detour, so twenty minutes
Speaker 3: northeast and then you get back on the road and
Speaker 3: then you head north and then you head home.
Speaker 1: I've been told.
Speaker 3: That Fresh Air Barbecue, who is like the number two
Speaker 3: barbecue in the state of Georgia, top twenty in the country.
Speaker 3: They now have a making location. So what I may
Speaker 3: do is stop there on the way home on Sunday.
Speaker 3: So get home Sunday with all the barbecue, the Brunswick stew,
Speaker 3: the banana putting, all that stuff.
Speaker 1: Usually it's pulled pork.
Speaker 3: It's a boatload of pulled pork with sauce and Brunswick
Speaker 3: stew and banana pudding. So that's traditionally how this journey ends.
Speaker 3: Then Monday, we are in studio and we get you
Speaker 3: ready for the new week. We'll let you go with
Speaker 3: reaction Monday and find out what happened with everything there
Speaker 3: and Atlanta United Red Bulls and the Tws and Red
Speaker 3: Bulls too, and so on Tuesday, it is a show
Speaker 3: from the studio. Then I drive to the Pinelands, which
Speaker 3: is Middle Georgia. It's about three hours away from the
Speaker 3: studio Tuesday night for our high school coverage. It is
Speaker 3: Appling County and Jeff Davis really looking forward to that one.
Speaker 3: A great rivalry in Friday night football and now it's
Speaker 3: carrying over now into Tuesday night football. And so the
Speaker 3: Tuesday night throwdown is going to be in Hazlehurst. And
Speaker 3: there's some backstory to that as well, because of what
Speaker 3: they've been able to do to build the program and
Speaker 3: so on, and how the community is trying to rebuild
Speaker 3: after Hurricane Helen came through. And so there's a couple
Speaker 3: of different reasons that we're going down there, and it's
Speaker 3: a great region rivalry Appling County. Jeff Davis, that's Tuesday
Speaker 3: Night in the Pinelands. Wednesday LB in a hotel room
Speaker 3: in Dublin, and we are going to be doing both
Speaker 3: the morning show and finding a way to do in
Speaker 3: session on the road. So we'll have that on Wednesday,
Speaker 3: and then we have Thursday and Friday activity with Eagles
Speaker 3: Lane Hampton, Eagles Landing, so it's a bit of a
Speaker 3: homecoming for somebody morning Alex. And then Friday it is
Speaker 3: a home game with Johnson, Gainesville and GAC. So that's
Speaker 3: next week and then everything gets back to hitting and
Speaker 3: running as we go there. So that is next week,
Speaker 3: but once again, so it's like literally, I get home
Speaker 3: on Sunday, do the show on Monday, Tuesday, do the show,
Speaker 3: drive to Middle Georgia, then do the Wednesday show and
Speaker 3: in session from a hotel room in Dublin, turn around
Speaker 3: and come back to Atlanta.
Speaker 1: So there you go.
Speaker 3: That's the early part of next week. But my opening
Speaker 3: kickoff this morning, and this is once again going around
Speaker 3: in circles to try to get to a morning question.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if this happens to you as well,
Speaker 3: but I still to this day have issues in trying
Speaker 3: to figure out what is too hot for a beverage,
Speaker 3: And I will explain. So trying to keep something of
Speaker 3: a voice for four days and do the morning show.
Speaker 3: What I had, what I what I do is I
Speaker 3: don't know how many of you do this when you
Speaker 3: start to have throat issues or whatever, but Traditional Medicinals
Speaker 3: has throat coat tea. And we are best friends, trust me,
Speaker 3: this time of year, we're best friends. And so here
Speaker 3: in the hotel, you have you know, you go microwaves
Speaker 3: and fridges and everything. And so I'll put hot water
Speaker 3: in the microwave and it will go for you know,
Speaker 3: two minutes or so, and then I'll get the tea
Speaker 3: and I'll steep it, and you know, we'll have, you know,
Speaker 3: we'll have our tea to try to make sure that
Speaker 3: the pipes at least stay functional through this four day marathon.
Speaker 3: To this day, I have still yet to figure out
Speaker 3: when to take the first sip of hot water when
Speaker 3: I'm making tea out of the microwave. Day one here,
Speaker 3: in making I burned the ever love in daylights out
Speaker 3: of my tongue and I have yet.
Speaker 1: To recover from it.
Speaker 3: So this is, this is my major problem when I'm
Speaker 3: trying to save my voice, is that you know, you
Speaker 3: sit there and you'll you'll hold. You'll hold the cup
Speaker 3: or the mug or whatever, and you know it feels
Speaker 3: okay to the hand. But then the second that you
Speaker 3: try to take a sip of the tea that you
Speaker 3: have out of the microwave, you burn the crap out
Speaker 3: of your tongue. And that's just it's what I end
Speaker 3: up doing. I swear to God every single time that
Speaker 3: I have a situation like this where I'm dealing with
Speaker 3: a foeign microwave.
Speaker 1: It's like a back at office HD.
Speaker 3: I'm fine because I know that two to two and
Speaker 3: a half minutes depending on which mug and which cup
Speaker 3: and everything, and I'm fine, and I let it steep
Speaker 3: for a while and then I can hold it, and
Speaker 3: I'm good. When I'm in a hotel room and it
Speaker 3: is water into a microwave and things like that, I
Speaker 3: don't my my my gauge for figuring out what is
Speaker 3: what is good and what is not and what will
Speaker 3: work and what won't. It kind of gets thrown, you know,
Speaker 3: into the blender because I'm in a foreign place. It's
Speaker 3: water that I don't use. It's a microwave. I don't
Speaker 3: use that kind of thing. So literally, day one, when
Speaker 3: I got down here. I burn the crap out of
Speaker 3: my tongue from using the microwave, and I still have
Speaker 3: yet to recover from it. So I'm stilling. Every single
Speaker 3: time that I, you know, will have hot tea, then
Speaker 3: I always end up screwing it up. And so that's
Speaker 3: where Okay, so David might have David might have a
Speaker 3: solution here. So so here's David's solution. And thought different
Speaker 3: microwaves equal different wattages. Hotel microwaves I would think are
Speaker 3: less watts, but also mugs could be different. Well, what
Speaker 3: I'm using, sadly is is this. I'm using the uh well,
Speaker 3: and since they're not sponsoring, I'm just gonna go ahead
Speaker 3: and hold it in the light. It is the hotel
Speaker 3: that I'm staying in, and they are named after a
Speaker 3: very rich individual whose last name is tied to the hotels.
Speaker 3: And so I'm using paper cups and going into the
Speaker 3: microwave with the water.
Speaker 1: So that's my proble.
Speaker 3: I think that's one of my first issues because once
Speaker 3: again everything's kind of thrown because I traditionally use mugs
Speaker 3: when I'm at home, and I left my mug at
Speaker 3: home for this particular run, and so de Grams is
Speaker 3: always heats the water for a minute, then steep it
Speaker 3: and reheat it. So okay, So now Bart, it's not
Speaker 3: a career ending injury. It's just me being stupid. I
Speaker 3: know that that's a shock. But now, well see what
Speaker 3: de Graham does. De Graham builds apparently when he has
Speaker 3: his t de Graham builds to his level of heat tolerance.
Speaker 3: I just go with the information that I've used in
Speaker 3: the past, and go with traditional times and traditional timings.
Speaker 3: But if David says that different microwaves had different wattages,
Speaker 3: I think I truly am screwed. So de Graham builds
Speaker 3: to his proper temperature to where he doesn't burn his tongue.
Speaker 3: I just go into the microwave, throw it in there,
Speaker 3: and then work my way down.
Speaker 1: I let it.
Speaker 3: You know, Abby says it needs to steep for a
Speaker 3: minute and a half. Because what I've traditionally stick my
Speaker 3: pinky in it to test the temperature.
Speaker 1: I've never thought of that.
Speaker 3: I literally have never thought of that, to stick my
Speaker 3: pinky in it to test the temperature. Never thought of
Speaker 3: that legitimately, So I may do that from now on,
Speaker 3: especially when I'm on the road. I mean when I'm
Speaker 3: at home, I'm fine. But when I'm on the road,
Speaker 3: I think I may have to do this from Abbey
Speaker 3: where I stick my pinky in it to test the temperature.
Speaker 1: I like that idea.
Speaker 3: Okay, So I've come up with something of a of
Speaker 3: an on the road solution. And then this is why
Speaker 3: I do these kinds of things on opening kickoff, so
Speaker 3: we can kind of workshop something.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, I have an issue, we workshop it.
Speaker 3: You guys are smarter than I am, and so now
Speaker 3: I have this information going forward. So that's I mean,
Speaker 3: that was that's good. That's good stuff.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: So Abby's idea of sticking my pinky in it to
Speaker 3: test the temperature, combined with d gram on the slow
Speaker 3: build with starting with a mark time and then going forward.
Speaker 3: I think these are the two solutions here. So uh
Speaker 3: so Bart de Graham heat steep and reheat. Don't microwave
Speaker 3: the tea bag. No, I don't do that. I just
Speaker 3: do the water. Uh that's the one part that I
Speaker 3: don't do is I'll do the water then put the
Speaker 3: tea bag in for the hot tea. I don't I
Speaker 3: don't do like the tea and the hot water all
Speaker 3: at the same time. So that's the one thing I
Speaker 3: don't do, so at least I'm I'm on the same
Speaker 3: page with all of you when it comes to heating
Speaker 3: the water.
Speaker 1: Without the tea bag.
Speaker 3: Tea bag doesn't go in until it's done and it's
Speaker 3: deeps and all that kind of stuff. Yes, and so yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: at home, that is true. Abby's absolutely correct.
Speaker 1: At home.
Speaker 3: You know your microwave, you know your mug, you know,
Speaker 3: you know your situation. But Alex, I think has has
Speaker 3: the true point into this that Alex also uses. Alex
Speaker 3: also uses Abby's pinky to test the temper drevis beverage.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's good to know. I mean, is she on call?
Speaker 1: Is she does? She figure?
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, hey Abby, I need you to come
Speaker 3: here or I'll meet you at a midpoint. Is that
Speaker 3: how that works? Is Abby on call for you, Alex
Speaker 3: when it comes to hot hot temperatures and testing them
Speaker 3: for for beverages.
Speaker 1: I need to know.
Speaker 3: This is the kind of stuff we always tackle here.
Speaker 3: In opening kickoff, so uh bart with a with a thing?
Speaker 1: Uh? Okay? Refereeing down here. A soccer match was called
Speaker 1: off after a young child of a player bites her whoa.
Speaker 3: Just reading the link hang on total totalprosports dot com.
Speaker 3: I mean, if I could type it, I mean, come on, man,
Speaker 3: that that's just uh huh no no no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: No, that is just uh uh mm hmm m wow.
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, that's that is that's that's rash.
Speaker 3: That that is rash. I mean, and this is I mean,
Speaker 3: it's a four day old story over it to Total
Speaker 3: Pro Sports, and I'm gonna I'm gonna kind of thumb
Speaker 3: through it and see if I can read some of it,
Speaker 3: if not most of it. Bizarre incident leads to an
Speaker 3: abrupt cancelation pregame routine check. Stephan Coller had a small
Speaker 3: child bite him in a place.
Speaker 1: That bite.
Speaker 3: The ansual injury forced officials to call off the eighth
Speaker 3: Division clash between FC Toxi Juiceburg two and s V
Speaker 3: s v Rothewismulheim conducting the standard pre match ID verification.
Speaker 3: The child, reportedly an offspring of an FCY Toxi player,
Speaker 3: warming up alongside the team, moved closer to the ref
Speaker 3: and in the official match report, he says, while I
Speaker 3: was checking the FC Toxi player's ID, a small child
Speaker 3: was doing warm up exercises along the players came closer
Speaker 3: and closer, and then suddenly gave me a sharp bite
Speaker 3: in a body part. Obviously, it left the gentleman in
Speaker 3: severe pain, making it impossible for him to officiate the match.
Speaker 3: He had no choice to abandon the fixture now rescheduled
Speaker 3: for a later date. No word on whether Kler will
Speaker 3: be willing to oversee the rematch or if you'll consider
Speaker 3: a total Yeah, thank you, sir.
Speaker 1: It's protective gear.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Toxi Juiceburg two currently third and Rothwece Muelheim yet
Speaker 3: to comment on the incident or explain the.
Speaker 1: Child's unusual behavior. Yeah. I would say that that's unusual behavior.
Speaker 1: All right. Wow.
Speaker 3: So wait, wait, wait, So people have been going up
Speaker 3: to Barton asking him how he would how he would
Speaker 3: handle this. Fourth person to ask him about it. This week,
Speaker 3: red cards for both parents, all four grandparents and the child.
Speaker 3: Calling off the match is the only option. And I
Speaker 3: think Derek has this, Uh, Derek has this lockdown. Football
Speaker 3: is a wild place. Yeah, football is a wild place. Morning, Harry,
Speaker 3: I mean happy, he's happy, He's like, what type of
Speaker 3: fine happens with this one? I would hope that it's
Speaker 3: a suspension, first and foremost, that there's a suspension, that
Speaker 3: there is a banning of the young and from that
Speaker 3: field and every other field in the lower the eighth tier. Ever, again, frankly,
Speaker 3: if it was me, the youngin would be getting a
Speaker 3: suspension from every possible venue in the country. It's like, no,
Speaker 3: you're not allowed here anymore. And then he sits there
Speaker 3: and he goes to his parents and he goes, why, Well,
Speaker 3: it's like, well, you bit somebody. You bit somebody on
Speaker 3: the field when you weren't supposed to. You bit somebody.
Speaker 1: Period.
Speaker 3: David, No, no, David, it's a Friday. No, absolutely, there's
Speaker 3: nothing wrong with There's nothing wrong, absolutely nothing wrong with this.
Speaker 3: And so sharing chaos is never a bad thing. We
Speaker 3: share chaos here a lot, but Friday being Friday and
Speaker 3: getting you ready for the weekend, this seems like one
Speaker 3: of the more interesting opening kickoffs that we've had in
Speaker 3: quite some time. And so, yeah, the biggest thing for
Speaker 3: me is a what was the kid doing on the
Speaker 3: field in the first place. He's warming up. I'm guessing
Speaker 3: he has a ties to one of the players. So
Speaker 3: if he has ties to one of the players, cool.
Speaker 3: When it's time to go, it's time to go. I
Speaker 3: don't know why he was out there right up to
Speaker 3: the point of player introductions, unless he was going to
Speaker 3: be like warm up kid turned mascot for the day.
Speaker 3: Don't know yet, Abby. We have put out the siren
Speaker 3: song for our friends that beyond goals, and so we
Speaker 3: will see if either Cap or if Greg will be
Speaker 3: joining us in just a little bit. Traditionally what we
Speaker 3: do if they're traveling the planet, we always send out
Speaker 3: this note. You know, hey, nine nine thirty is theirs.
Speaker 3: Nine thirty is the time slot for our friends that
Speaker 3: beyond goals. Mannering, we can talk about a bunch of
Speaker 3: different things, but if they're globe trotting, then they let
Speaker 3: us know if they're globe trotting or not, and then
Speaker 3: we navigate from there. But I think that if this,
Speaker 3: if this young and was warming up and he has
Speaker 3: parental ties or familiar ties to one of the players,
Speaker 3: I get it. When it's time to go, it's time
Speaker 3: to go. Unless he turned in too be a part
Speaker 3: of the walkout and everything. What compelled that particular youngen
Speaker 3: to exercise that behavior, I don't know what compel what
Speaker 3: compelled the young and to that particular action that that
Speaker 3: to me is the larger the larger point. That to
Speaker 3: me is the larger point. And once again the all
Speaker 3: of you breaking news and things like that. Once again, Ricky,
Speaker 3: good morning. And by the way, Ricky reminds us that
Speaker 3: a place that we have frequented a great deal. So, yeah,
Speaker 3: the kid doesn't need to be anywhere near a soccer
Speaker 3: pitch ever again in the country of Germany. And there
Speaker 3: also needs to be pictures. It's like, okay, if if
Speaker 3: this particular club goes anywhere, beware of this young and
Speaker 3: so he doesn't need to be anywhere near a pitch anymore,
Speaker 3: and his parents are probably going to be responsible for
Speaker 3: something akin to an assault chart. But brew House Cafe
Speaker 3: best soccer bar in the US. How's that for blank
Speaker 3: and awesome? Now, brew House in Little Five, we've had
Speaker 3: avoin events there in the past. But you know it's
Speaker 3: going to be interesting heading back. So brew House Cafe
Speaker 3: Little Five voted best soccer bar in the US according
Speaker 3: to the results of a contest conducted by Men and Blazers.
Speaker 3: Results in the results released this morning. And so now
Speaker 3: Roger Bennett's going to come back March twenty fifth to
Speaker 3: watch matches with soccer fans. Live show with Rory Smith
Speaker 3: slaved just started seven o'clock. I guess you better get
Speaker 3: there early. So contests started in September twenty three thousand votes,
Speaker 3: sixteen hundred bars and a lot of the emails and
Speaker 3: ten finalists came in December, and the number one brew
Speaker 3: House open in ninety seven. It's been great when we've
Speaker 3: been able to do things there at brew House. So
Speaker 3: Mozeltov congratulations and Wahoo and Yahoo for the brew House
Speaker 3: Cafe Little five voted the best soccer bar in the US.
Speaker 3: Very very cool. And apparently the International Broadcast Center for
Speaker 3: twenty six goes to Dallas. Yeah, that's disappointing. Uh okay,
Speaker 3: So going to that particular story, So our friends at
Speaker 3: FIFA Media are now saying that it's going to be
Speaker 3: in Dallas, and I guess that means I should follow
Speaker 3: them now as well. Dallas hosting the IBC for the
Speaker 3: twenty six World Cup.
Speaker 4: The K.
Speaker 3: Bailey Hutchison Convention Center becomes the global media hub for TV,
Speaker 3: radio and digital coverage, welcoming thousands of journalists.
Speaker 1: And so that was May.
Speaker 3: That was announced at nine oh eight Eastern time this morning.
Speaker 3: So uh, I guess I guess that means that we're
Speaker 3: going to be spending time with our friends in Dallas
Speaker 3: come twenty six when we're not going to be here. Okay,
Speaker 3: So I see, I see, I see, I see the
Speaker 3: travel plans.
Speaker 1: Now we we at SDH already have we are blessed
Speaker 1: to have connections in Dallas. We have one of our.
Speaker 3: We have one of our friends on the other side
Speaker 3: of the aisle when it comes to college football based
Speaker 3: in Dallas.
Speaker 1: So we're cool.
Speaker 3: We actually believe or not if we can figure out
Speaker 3: a way to get out to Dallas. Way you studio space,
Speaker 3: so we'll be you know, studio spacing it if we
Speaker 3: make it out to Dallas in twenty six. I heard
Speaker 3: the magic noise. And so as we're going through everything
Speaker 3: opening kickoff, we can you know, we can continue opening
Speaker 3: kickoff by talking to our resident mogul and training because
Speaker 3: it is year two, not year one, but year two
Speaker 3: of the expedition known as Rhode Island FC. And so
Speaker 3: this is where we bring in Michael Parkhurst and our
Speaker 3: friends of Beyond Goals Entering's up, dude, Good morning, John,
Speaker 3: You're I am in a hotel room and making Georgia. Sir,
Speaker 3: I am doing the the high school basketball championships. And
Speaker 3: so what I do is I start my day doing
Speaker 3: SDH and then at like eleven oh five, slam the
Speaker 3: computer shut, throw on the dress clothes, and drive to
Speaker 3: the arena and I'm there for like the next ten
Speaker 3: or eleven hours. So yeah, so it's running around, babe,
Speaker 3: that's a I'm not as busy as you by any
Speaker 3: stretch of the imagination, but nevertheless running around so as
Speaker 3: you can see the palatial, the imitation, palatial upbringing and
Speaker 3: background that we have here in the hotel here in Macon, Georgia. Yes,
Speaker 3: absolutely true. You're you're sporting your Demon Deacons gear as
Speaker 3: I see this morning, and you know you're getting ready
Speaker 3: for the weekend. But this is also a very very busy,
Speaker 3: slash important, oh my god important weekend for you as
Speaker 3: a resident mogul and training. It is season two of
Speaker 3: Rhode Island FC.
Speaker 5: Yes, well it's season two of our USL go round.
Speaker 5: But we've got a week one by so our season
Speaker 5: doesn't get kicked up till next week.
Speaker 1: Rat farts.
Speaker 3: I was gonna we'll then find we'll discuss it a
Speaker 3: week early, since the next time I see you, the
Speaker 3: season will have already begun. So actually there's kismut and
Speaker 3: karma here with this discussion. So as as things have
Speaker 3: gone on, how many folks have wandered up to you
Speaker 3: who are ORIFC faithful and have grabbed you by those
Speaker 3: demon deacons lapels there on that warm up jacket and said, hey,
Speaker 3: what are you gonna do for an oncre Man? And
Speaker 3: that reminds me. I need to get my Eastern Conference
Speaker 3: championship year. That reminds me, So what do you gotta
Speaker 3: do for an oncre Man?
Speaker 5: Good question, TVD. We'll see. Hopefully we can have a
Speaker 5: better start to the season. We'll start there, you know,
Speaker 5: because everybody remembers the run that we made. But you know,
Speaker 5: the first half of the season, we had about thirty
Speaker 5: five ties in our first ten games. Correct set that
Speaker 5: record in USL. I'm going to try not to repeat that.
Speaker 5: But we do start off with the first eight weeks
Speaker 5: of the season. We've got two buys and six away
Speaker 5: games as we wait for our stadium to be complete.
Speaker 5: So it's not going to be the easiest of starts,
Speaker 5: that's for sure. But so we approved last year we
Speaker 5: can win on the road. So you know, we'll see
Speaker 5: there's some teams in the East that got better. I mean, shoot,
Speaker 5: every team tries to get better, right, but like Birmingham
Speaker 5: for sure down there got a lot better. They signed
Speaker 5: two top players for the USL Championship anyway, So yeah,
Speaker 5: it's it's you know, we'll have our work cutout for
Speaker 5: us for sure.
Speaker 3: Well and at the same time, I mean, you guys
Speaker 3: didn't sit on your laurels. I mean it was it
Speaker 3: was funny the way that it kind of worked its
Speaker 3: way out in the media where it had been long
Speaker 3: discussed that Maxi Rodriguez, what was you know, heading your
Speaker 3: heading your way, and I mean you're in the collective
Speaker 3: Rhode Island f C. And it's like, yeah, he's heading
Speaker 3: over there, but it's like he's still in the roster
Speaker 3: for Detroit City. It's like, well, wait a minute, how
Speaker 3: is this possible? He's still on the roster for Detroit City.
Speaker 3: And then literally the simultaneous news releases come out Maxi
Speaker 3: Rodriguez and Detroit City part ways.
Speaker 1: Maxi Rodriguez signs with Rhode Island f C. How does
Speaker 1: this happen? How does this. How is this Simultan Aniut
Speaker 1: news releasing happening?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we had signed him before the season
Speaker 5: was over, right, because you know, free agents can sign
Speaker 5: you know, six months prior, as most of us know,
Speaker 5: and so we had signed him and so yeah, it
Speaker 5: just becomes like the league optics. So the league kind
Speaker 5: of controls a here's signing day. Uh, And obviously you
Speaker 5: usually try and let the other teams say goodbye first
Speaker 5: before you announce, you know, just try and be nice
Speaker 5: about things.
Speaker 1: So there it is.
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, there's there it is.
Speaker 1: What's it been like? What's it been like to see
Speaker 1: all of this come together there at Tide Waterland.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been pretty crazy. Uh, pretty crazy just to
Speaker 5: see from when did I start with this project four
Speaker 5: years ago?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 5: Yeah, four years ago? Just I mean there's just been
Speaker 5: endless speed bumps and aches and naysayers and just doubts
Speaker 5: and things, and there was a million reasons why this couldn't,
Speaker 5: wouldn't shouldn't happen. And yet the stadium is up, the
Speaker 5: guys are training in it. It's not fully open yet,
Speaker 5: but yeah, we are on target here for our opener,
Speaker 5: and yeah, it's going to be pretty crazy. We expect
Speaker 5: obviously a full house on May third, and yeah, it'll
Speaker 5: be a pretty sweet day, that's for sure, because I
Speaker 5: know how much work a lot of people have put
Speaker 5: into making this day come about. And I think that
Speaker 5: we've got still a lot of people to convince up
Speaker 5: in Rhode Island that this is going to be the
Speaker 5: place to be, and you know, it's going to be
Speaker 5: a really welcoming place and a place that a lot
Speaker 5: of kids growing up in island are going to make
Speaker 5: a lot of good memories over their childhood, and so
Speaker 5: we're excited for that.
Speaker 3: Does it seem like it's been four years ago when
Speaker 3: you started with all this stuff to today? Does it
Speaker 3: seem like it's been that long? Or does it seem
Speaker 3: like it's been a snap of the fingers?
Speaker 5: In general, time is flying by, it's crazy, But when
Speaker 5: I think about this project in particular, there, yes, it's
Speaker 5: it's felt like four four years just because of so
Speaker 5: many hoops, so much drama, so much political red tape
Speaker 5: and headaches and yeah this I think a lot of
Speaker 5: people on this project have aged more than four years
Speaker 5: in these so in life in general has flown by,
Speaker 5: I can't believe it's been five seasons since I've retired.
Speaker 5: But yes, four years on this project seems about right.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna reserve the question about being five years since
Speaker 3: you've retired and whether or not you feel like you
Speaker 3: still have some minutes in you. If somebody ever gave
Speaker 3: you a call.
Speaker 1: And you sit there your heads back, you're cackling, You're like,
Speaker 1: no way, bro, that is not happening.
Speaker 5: No way, no way.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: You mentioned, and so this is where I want to
Speaker 3: get in to start discussing things about mentoring with you.
Speaker 3: This morning, you mentioned that it's been four years that
Speaker 3: you've been engaged in the process there at Rhode Island.
Speaker 3: So how much growth do you get to experience on
Speaker 3: a yearly basis with your mentees? I mean, do you
Speaker 3: have mentees that have been with you and Greg since
Speaker 3: day one that you've been able to mentor all the
Speaker 3: way through a process and have been with them for
Speaker 3: you know, six months, a year longer or is it
Speaker 3: more just kind of like one season for a mentee
Speaker 3: and then they kind of go their own way. Do
Speaker 3: you get the chance to mentor someone annually through their
Speaker 3: process some of them?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just had one not too long ago where
Speaker 5: it was the first time I had connected with them,
Speaker 5: and probably like six to eight months or so, but
Speaker 5: we I mean, I've worked with them a lot in
Speaker 5: the past and probably since he was about twelve, and
Speaker 5: now he's about to start as freshman in season, and
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, my gosh, I can't believe you're
Speaker 5: in high school. This is crazy. Yes, And to abvious question, yes,
Speaker 5: my oldest is in high school as well, and yeah,
Speaker 5: she's a freshman. So yeah, it's it's unbelievable, But that
Speaker 5: is It is really cool sometimes to see the growth
Speaker 5: of players over a longer period of time and see
Speaker 5: where their journey has led them. So there is definitely
Speaker 5: a bunch that we've mentored from over the course of
Speaker 5: like three years or so, you know, obviously a bunch
Speaker 5: of new ones.
Speaker 3: When you mentor over time, is it you know, okay, well,
Speaker 3: we have our baseline of stuff that we need to discuss,
Speaker 3: whether it's on the field, off or both. And then
Speaker 3: as it goes, is it fine tuning, is it finding
Speaker 3: other things to mentor them over what's the is it
Speaker 3: you go down a road and then over time are
Speaker 3: there more you know, are there stop signs and off
Speaker 3: roads and things like that or is it just kind
Speaker 3: of tweaking and fine tuning that individual on the field
Speaker 3: and all, Yeah, I think.
Speaker 5: The fine tuning and I think that reminders, right, and
Speaker 5: no matter what level we get to, right, some of
Speaker 5: the things are still the same. Just reminders of like
Speaker 5: what we can control and what we can't, and you know,
Speaker 5: what's important and what's not and how do we come
Speaker 5: over and how do we view things that are coming up? Right,
Speaker 5: Like a freshman going into high school right now, all
Speaker 5: of a sudden, you might not be a starter. You're
Speaker 5: planning against kids that are four years older than you, Right,
Speaker 5: how do you approach these types of things? How do
Speaker 5: you have conversations with seniors on your team? You know,
Speaker 5: how do you act in the locker room? Like all
Speaker 5: these little things that's new. So I think there's always
Speaker 5: new obstacles and new things that will be occurring, and
Speaker 5: it's just kind of reminders of how to get through those,
Speaker 5: how to deal with those things, and how to put
Speaker 5: your best foot forward.
Speaker 3: How much of a reminder is it for you and
Speaker 3: Greg about how to handle growth processes for young athletes,
Speaker 3: because it seems like it's at one point it seems
Speaker 3: like it could be a refresher course for you about
Speaker 3: how to reset with these individuals. But at the same
Speaker 3: time it opens those other windows about Okay, they're giving
Speaker 3: me this issue that I get to tackle for the
Speaker 3: first time, or this issue. So how much of it,
Speaker 3: you know, is a learning experience for you and for
Speaker 3: Greg about handling other mentees that may not necessarily be
Speaker 3: the one you're talking to.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's always growth. I mean, I spoke to
Speaker 5: a family yesterday whose daughter is involved with youth national
Speaker 5: team stuff and not quite getting the level of training
Speaker 5: she needs at her club team, you know, because she's
Speaker 5: in a small town and and just that dynamic, Right,
Speaker 5: what do you do when you know you've got an
Speaker 5: elite athlete yet they're not on an elite team and
Speaker 5: you want them to continue, right you know. So it's
Speaker 5: just there's so many different journeys, there's so many different
Speaker 5: aspects to it. And yeah, it's cool for me to
Speaker 5: hear about everybody's journey because you know, it's one of
Speaker 5: the things we talk about, how everyone's journey is different.
Speaker 5: But when I get to like hear how these journeys start, right,
Speaker 5: because we just hear usually at the end, like oh,
Speaker 5: what was your journey to become a professional, right, But
Speaker 5: I'm hearing all these journeys as they're going through it
Speaker 5: here at at a young age, and of course you
Speaker 5: don't know who's going to go on to play even
Speaker 5: in college, but you never know. So yeah, it's it's
Speaker 5: super interesting and it allows me to grow too and
Speaker 5: open my knowledge as well. Of like we all know,
Speaker 5: youth soccer is just ever changing in the landscape and
Speaker 5: what's going on. But it's good for me to stay
Speaker 5: up to date as well. Like some of these times
Speaker 5: these parents are teaching me about what they're going through
Speaker 5: and these leagues and who's who and what goes on
Speaker 5: and you know, so it's just ever learning for sure.
Speaker 3: And I want to at a future time, I want
Speaker 3: to bookmark the whole thing about parents teaching you about
Speaker 3: these things. But you mentioned something that I thought was
Speaker 3: really interesting, where you have mentees in smaller towns that
Speaker 3: aren't near you know, the big metropolitan areas. I guess
Speaker 3: by comparison, and the troubles I would imagine for them
Speaker 3: are geographical in addition to all of the.
Speaker 1: Other issues that they're facing.
Speaker 3: Because if they are a fantastic student athlete, in a
Speaker 3: town that is detached away from larger operation basis, like
Speaker 3: you can't just you know, turn a corner and go
Speaker 3: to a you can't you can't go to like top Hat,
Speaker 3: you can't go to ECNL, you can't go to someplace
Speaker 3: right around the corner. For those in big cities, I
Speaker 3: would imagine that the issues and the conversations might be
Speaker 3: a little different because someone's in a smaller town that's
Speaker 3: detached from all of that, where they have to travel,
Speaker 3: you know, ninety minutes to do something one way. I mean,
Speaker 3: that seems like it's a different conversation entirely at times.
Speaker 5: Oh totally. And this family travels three hours one way
Speaker 5: for training and they only go once a week because
Speaker 5: of the distance. But yeah, it's that's that's crazy. As
Speaker 5: a parent of youth athletes, that's insane, right, I'm like,
Speaker 5: oh god, this game is an hour away, or this
Speaker 5: game is forty minutes away on a weekday, you know,
Speaker 5: And yeah, some families are making that type of dedication,
Speaker 5: and so yeah, how do you how do you continue
Speaker 5: to grow? Because what they realized was when they went
Speaker 5: to this national team camp was you know, the level
Speaker 5: at the camp obviously was high and the coaching was
Speaker 5: really good, and and then it makes you like look
Speaker 5: at what your own situation is and like, shoot, I'm
Speaker 5: not getting anywhere near that here. And I always say like, well,
Speaker 5: the bright side is you're at that level without the
Speaker 5: coaching right now, without the environment. So that's amazing. Right,
Speaker 5: So you know, we just just just just we just
Speaker 5: discuss different options, right, Can you train up with other
Speaker 5: female teams? Can you train with boys and you know,
Speaker 5: go through that dynamic of playing, you know, with players
Speaker 5: that are typically faster and stronger than you. So different options.
Speaker 5: And then one of the things I learned was about
Speaker 5: guest playing and tournaments and I need to find out
Speaker 5: more about that, but that is allowed in e CNL
Speaker 5: as far as guest playing with a team in showcases
Speaker 5: and things. So there's different options.
Speaker 3: Well, and that was since you mentioned these different options,
Speaker 3: is going to ask how you close the distance of
Speaker 3: that three hours and I didn't know that the idea
Speaker 3: of you know, playing up makes sense and something like that.
Speaker 3: But also crossing over and if you're a female playing
Speaker 3: with you know, if you're a female you're playing, you
Speaker 3: can play with males. You play with the boy athletes
Speaker 3: that are out there if you're on the girls side
Speaker 3: of things. So I guess part of the mentoring in
Speaker 3: that aspect is trying to you're troubleshooting in a way,
Speaker 3: but it's a different kind of trouble shooting where it's
Speaker 3: an off the field trouble shooting trying to help. So
Speaker 3: the on the field troubleshooting can get advanced, So you're
Speaker 3: having to do things a little differently and you're having
Speaker 3: to go on the field and off when it comes
Speaker 3: to these things.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, for sure. And that's what mentorship's about, right,
Speaker 5: It's it's holistically and so many of these things off
Speaker 5: the field affect on the field performance, So yeah, for sure,
Speaker 5: and you know that's the why we enjoy it and
Speaker 5: that's what keeps it always fresh. And you know, of
Speaker 5: course on the field stuff is is more straightforward for us.
Speaker 5: It's it's easier because you know, game is game basically,
Speaker 5: it's just different levels to it. But off the field
Speaker 5: everything's so different and to each person and to each family.
Speaker 5: So that's it's interesting.
Speaker 3: Friday free kick with our buddy Michael Parkhurst here at
Speaker 3: Beyond Goals Mentoring at MF Parkhurst on the two hundred
Speaker 3: and eighty character app at bg mentoring on the two
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty character app at Beyond goalsmenoring dot com,
Speaker 3: How are you getting adjusted to doing the video analysis
Speaker 3: and just talking into a camera and doing the self
Speaker 3: the self reporting and the self discussion. How are you
Speaker 3: at talking as the only person in the room. How
Speaker 3: is that evolving for you?
Speaker 5: Pretty good that it does happen frequently that I will
Speaker 5: go to record things and my dog will think that, oh,
Speaker 5: now is a great time to get up from her
Speaker 5: bed where she usually is right here next to me,
Speaker 5: all see, and get up and PLoP down onto the
Speaker 5: hardwood next to me. So there's just a massive thud
Speaker 5: right in the middle of my best continue on for now.
Speaker 5: I think people just need to know.
Speaker 3: I see no issue with a thud, and okay, so please,
Speaker 3: if you would, sir, please return the camera to your
Speaker 3: copilot's position and explain who your co pilot is.
Speaker 5: This is Deacon obviously, yes, and she's our almost five
Speaker 5: year old COVID pup. You still call her a puppy
Speaker 5: even though she's five almost five Golden.
Speaker 2: Retriever, sweetest little girl out, yes, see, I imagine, So
Speaker 2: let me see, let me see if I can, if
Speaker 2: I can gauge the morning for Deacon.
Speaker 3: So one or both of you, as the leaders in
Speaker 3: the Parkhurst household, you get up earlier than the other.
Speaker 3: One gets up earlier than the other. Deacon sees that
Speaker 3: as a sign to hey, it's time to go outside.
Speaker 3: Depending on the temperature, Deacon will do either one or
Speaker 3: two things. Deacon will want to go out on the
Speaker 3: long walk of the morning, or sit there and go
Speaker 3: door gets open, front door, back door, whatever Deacon goes.
Speaker 3: It's too blank and cold out here. I'm gonna do
Speaker 3: my thing, and I'm hopping back inside, and I'm going
Speaker 3: back to bed now that I've awakened. To the rest
Speaker 3: of you, I'm going back to bed. Am I close,
Speaker 3: You're not too far off.
Speaker 5: She always starts in bed with my son, and always
Speaker 5: in the middle of the night will come wake me
Speaker 5: up and I put her in the crate. This is
Speaker 5: a routine. She finds comfort in her crate.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 5: She won't put herself in the crate, but she will
Speaker 5: wake me up and she will go over to the crate,
Speaker 5: and I have to lock the crate.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 5: So I have now started waking up in the morning John,
Speaker 5: I used to sleep in a little bit, but now
Speaker 5: I wake up at six with the rest of with
Speaker 5: my wife and my daughter and I go work out
Speaker 5: and then I get her out of the crate at
Speaker 5: like six thirty six forty. And she always wants to
Speaker 5: go outside. It doesn't matter the temperature, the colder the
Speaker 5: better unfortunately for me. Yeah, but yeah, and then of course,
Speaker 5: and then she'll sleep for you know, neanks three hours.
Speaker 1: The rest of the day, it's like, oh, it's lunchtime.
Speaker 1: It's time for me to get up and get lunch.
Speaker 5: She lives a very very nice life. We tell her
Speaker 5: all the time. She's very lucky.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, the same way as well, Hey, the same way
Speaker 3: it is with the rowdy man in our place. I
Speaker 3: know I'm third in that house. It is the boss,
Speaker 3: it is the rowdy man.
Speaker 1: It is me. I know I'm third. I knew that
Speaker 1: going into the equation. So that's the easy one for me.
Speaker 3: So you mentioned changing routines with you getting up in
Speaker 3: the morning with the deacon sitting there and it's like bruh,
Speaker 3: time to go out.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: When it comes to talking to your your mentees about okay,
Speaker 3: what is your standard day, Like you know, and then
Speaker 3: they may They may walk you through their day and
Speaker 3: you may sit there and say, okay, stop, you need
Speaker 3: to change this behavior. You may be successful, you may
Speaker 3: be your game may be great, you might be improving,
Speaker 3: you might be on a path. But when they walk
Speaker 3: you through your their day, how much adjusting to maximize
Speaker 3: their potential do you go through in these kinds of
Speaker 3: situations where it's like, Okay, I see something that can
Speaker 3: be fixed here that can make you even better. How
Speaker 3: much day adjustment and lifestyle adjustments do you guys do
Speaker 3: off the field when you're talking with the mentees.
Speaker 5: Yeah, not a whole lot, because we want them to
Speaker 5: want to make the adjustment right. We don't want to say, hey,
Speaker 5: you do this right, But we more talk about, okay,
Speaker 5: what routines and habits can you create? Right if you
Speaker 5: are struggling to sleep, or you're struggling to wake up
Speaker 5: in the morning, or you're eating habits aren't good, right, Okay,
Speaker 5: what could be some possibilities? And we try and say, hey,
Speaker 5: everyone's different, there's no set routine for that's going to
Speaker 5: fit everyone the same, right, But okay, can you do
Speaker 5: X y Z, you know, after dinner, before bedtime, Can
Speaker 5: you do this in the morning, can you you know,
Speaker 5: getting a routine of this or that? And we're just
Speaker 5: trying to give them options and ideas of like, hey,
Speaker 5: find a routine, like these things help. Doing these things
Speaker 5: over and over again, your body just gets used to
Speaker 5: it and it can be so helpful. So we really
Speaker 5: try not to say, hey, you need to be doing this,
Speaker 5: versus hey, think about these different options and what they
Speaker 5: could do for you.
Speaker 3: How well does today's men tea take care of themselves
Speaker 3: because I know that when in the days of black
Speaker 3: and white television back in the late sixteen hundreds, when
Speaker 3: I was young, you literally could eat anything.
Speaker 1: It would burn off.
Speaker 3: You could you could have you know, you could have
Speaker 3: chili dogs, you could go out and you could play
Speaker 3: for your team. Everything fine, it burns off and then
Speaker 3: you're okay, how much lifestyle adjustments and consultation do you
Speaker 3: guys have, Because we've all lived through it, you know,
Speaker 3: it's like, okay, metabolism changes when you're thirty. Then you
Speaker 3: have to start paying attention to things. How much lifestyle
Speaker 3: adjustments do you sit there and encourage It's like, okay,
Speaker 3: well you might need to work on this a little
Speaker 3: bit not sitting there and saying cut the chili dogs out.
Speaker 3: Basically yeah, but how much adjustment do you sit there?
Speaker 3: Do you notice it's like, Okay, you could be better
Speaker 3: if you did this. What about lifestyle adjustments and things
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's definitely something we talk about. I think that
Speaker 5: in general, athletes are way more knowledgeable and in tune
Speaker 5: to nutrition than we were when we were young. And
Speaker 5: I think that some of it is because parents these
Speaker 5: days are way more in tune to the nutritional side
Speaker 5: of things than our parents were. So I think that
Speaker 5: in general, they're in a better starting place, you know,
Speaker 5: And so we always try and say, start with sixty
Speaker 5: forty seventy thirty right where you're at least focusing on
Speaker 5: what you're putting in your body.
Speaker 1: And so.
Speaker 5: It's it's something we definitely speak about. But in general,
Speaker 5: I think that they're doing a pretty good job at
Speaker 5: a younger age of being cognizant. And we never like, hey, yeah,
Speaker 5: is Chick fil a good for you?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 5: Is it amazing taste?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 5: So if you want to eat Chick fil A, go
Speaker 5: ahead and eat Chick fil A, right, but okay, maybe
Speaker 5: eat something healthier the next meal. You know, So it's
Speaker 5: like such a balance, like with everything.
Speaker 3: What is this balance that you talk about? Come on now,
Speaker 3: I mean no, it's we're all supposed to be like
Speaker 3: John Belushi in the Olympics eating the chocolate donuts. That's
Speaker 3: how we're supposed to win. Everything is making sure that
Speaker 3: we are ready for the Cathlon eating chocolate donuts.
Speaker 1: That's how this works.
Speaker 3: Man, Gosh, you'd still be playing if that was the case,
Speaker 3: if it was like chocolate donuts and everything.
Speaker 5: Just to answer a couple of questions here in the chat, Harry, Yes,
Speaker 5: our Tidewater Stadium is ten thousand seats right now, but
Speaker 5: we did build it with the knowledge that we might
Speaker 5: go D one in the future, so it can be
Speaker 5: increased to five extra five thousand pretty easily if that
Speaker 5: needs to be the case down the line.
Speaker 1: Blue Sky, I think.
Speaker 5: I haven't account to Blue Sky. I haven't made the switch.
Speaker 1: Yet, even though I need to at some point. I'm
Speaker 1: on both, Yeah, I need.
Speaker 5: To at some point. The other one just keeps sucking
Speaker 5: me back in somehow.
Speaker 1: I think that was it.
Speaker 3: Okay, So at Lanta United, you know, obviously I have
Speaker 3: to you discuss it Land United before you get out
Speaker 3: of here it. Lanta United is hosting Red Bulls this weekend,
Speaker 3: and well, you know what red Bulls brings to the table.
Speaker 3: They're gonna they're gonna try to pressure out of the
Speaker 3: bill and create short fields. They don't care about possession.
Speaker 3: The ball has cooties. You know, it's like, we don't
Speaker 3: want it. We just want it only a short period
Speaker 3: of time. We're going to be clinical, We're going to
Speaker 3: try and finish. It's going to be pressure, pressure, pressure
Speaker 3: from as many as five coming at the back line
Speaker 3: of Atlanta United. How different of an animal is facing
Speaker 3: Red Bulls versus everybody else?
Speaker 5: Different so much so that you know you need to adjust,
Speaker 5: you do when a team is that good at pressing,
Speaker 5: And honest and honestly, I don't know the Red Bulls
Speaker 5: this year how good they are at pressing. If it's changed,
Speaker 5: but in years past, the risk rarely outweighed the reward
Speaker 5: in that you could break the press three out at
Speaker 5: ten times, five out of ten times, even if even
Speaker 5: seven out of ten times, but that it might only
Speaker 5: create one or two chances. If they win the ball
Speaker 5: three times out of those ten, they are getting three chances.
Speaker 5: So it's very different against the Red Bulls. And you know, they,
Speaker 5: to your point, don't really want the ball, which I
Speaker 5: always found like, okay, let them have the ball to
Speaker 5: turn things around. Let them have the ball, don't press them,
Speaker 5: and then counter attack. So yeah, it's it is different.
Speaker 5: It's challenging, but yeah it'll be exciting hopefully, Crazy John.
Speaker 5: When I was watching the game last week, I thought
Speaker 5: Zaha was terrible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was mad. Edwards had Zaha in his in
Speaker 1: his hip pocket for the first.
Speaker 5: And even the second half, like people were like, oh,
Speaker 5: you know, the assist wasn't an assist. You know, it
Speaker 5: was a blocked shot or a bad shot. It doesn't
Speaker 5: count in my book. And the goal, it was a
Speaker 5: very good He had one good touch all game and
Speaker 5: it was the goal, right. He took it very well,
Speaker 5: but he did not create anything. Honestly, if I'm a
Speaker 5: Charlotte fan, and I was thinking about tweeting this, but
Speaker 5: I was like, he was so bad that I'd be nervous,
Speaker 5: like because I didn't think he moved well. And I
Speaker 5: like Zaha, like I thought that was a great signing.
Speaker 5: I was like, man, this guy's gonna crush it. I
Speaker 5: don't know if it was jet lag. I don't know
Speaker 5: if it was the turf or what, but I thought
Speaker 5: he looked terrible and that was kudos to Edwards as well.
Speaker 5: But man, we'll see. I mean, I know he plays
Speaker 5: in Miami this weekend on grass so if he doesn't
Speaker 5: look much better, and it's it's crazy because everyone says, oh,
Speaker 5: a golden assists. You know, he's all over MLS soccer
Speaker 5: dot com and I'm like, dude was brutal, But that's soccer,
Speaker 5: isn't it. I mean the other way to look at
Speaker 5: it is, oh, he was brutal, yet he had a
Speaker 5: gold and assist, so wait till he's good mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So if he's brutal and had a gen and a
Speaker 3: then you know, hey, wait wait until he figures everything
Speaker 3: out at the bouncy house and Charlotte with the trampoline turf.
Speaker 1: That they have there. Yeah, so what do you? What
Speaker 1: are your So? May the sixth is the opening at
Speaker 1: Tidewater Landing May third, May third, thank you?
Speaker 3: All right, I'm writing this down and I'm trying to
Speaker 3: see if what our schedules may be. So yes, I'm
Speaker 3: already playing. So yeah, so yeah, we look when somebody
Speaker 3: floats me a picture of what tidewater Landing looks like,
Speaker 3: and it's this gorgeous looking thing. And uh, you know,

Speaker 3: think is Deacon still sleeping, hasn't moved. That's what I figured,
Speaker 3: all right, So maybe you can sneak out of the room.
Speaker 3: And then the second you sneak out of the room,
Speaker 3: Deacon's gonna sit there and go, broh, where'd you go

Speaker 3: those kinds of things and so and what Michael and
Speaker 3: Greg continue to learn at beyond goals minnory and the
Speaker 3: fact that Deacon likes to wander into the shot and
Speaker 3: just sit there and go the red light's on, it's
Speaker 3: time for my close up.
Speaker 1: Five year old golden retriever.
Speaker 3: Deacon very very cool, and Deacon and the rowdy man

Speaker 3: what to watch, here to watch it, how to watch
Speaker 3: it in the juice boxes for the weekend. We'll get
Speaker 3: that in the other divisions, and then spend the rest
Speaker 3: of the time talking about at Land United and Red
Speaker 3: Bulls coming to town on Saturday night. All right, so
Speaker 3: juice boxes and matchups and getting ready for weekend number one.
Speaker 3: Once again, Remember if you haven't had the chance and
Speaker 3: you want to pursue what's going on in USL Championship
Speaker 3: League one and Next Pro we'll say the next Pro
Speaker 3: discussion as well to the segment when we talk about
Speaker 3: it Land United. But you can go to the USL
Speaker 3: show Kayler Hodges and our friends there they go into
Speaker 3: the big, big old deep dive about everything and what's
Speaker 3: going on. So we've got juices for Major League Soccer,
Speaker 3: and that's not the one that I want to click onto.
Speaker 3: So USL League one, remember in the discussion with us
Speaker 3: L League one, they've got a bunch of new franchises too, Avy, ALTAFC, Naples, Portland, Hart's,
Speaker 3: and Pine you know in Westchester. So keep an eye
Speaker 3: on all of those.
Speaker 1: We actually do have juice boxes in USA, a juice
Speaker 1: box in USL League one, Tormenta and the Richmond Kickers
Speaker 1: tonight in Statesboro, and it's a seven o'clock kick.
Speaker 3: Richmond Kickers Tormenta. Tormenta is a home favorite at a
Speaker 3: plus one twelve and Richmond on the Road is a
Speaker 3: plus one ninety n And by the way, Richmond has retooled,
Speaker 3: I think in celebration of their twenty fifth anniversary, they
Speaker 3: have redesigned their kits. So Hazazen horays it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: It's a pretty cool design that Richmond has. Sebastian Gwenzati
Speaker 3: was mentioned that by Kaylor about Detroit City signing Gwenzati.
Speaker 3: Gwenzati goes from Tampa Bay to Detroit City, but once again.
Speaker 3: It's a thirty three year old Sebastian Gwenzati. Sergio Revas
Speaker 3: signs with New Mexico United Ltree Youth International. Vigo Ortiz
Speaker 3: gets his first year deal, first pro deal at the
Speaker 3: age of sixteen. And it is Ben Martinez signing the
Speaker 3: twenty two year old keeper with the River Hounds after
Speaker 3: spending two years in Hunt City and Birmingham. Legion acquired
Speaker 3: rome On tores Onlane from Minnesota United. So looking at
Speaker 3: the schedule as things are all laid out so Saturday,
Speaker 3: it is Lexington and Hartford Miami, the MIAMIFC and Detroit City,
Speaker 3: North Carolina FC and the Pittsburgh River Hounds Charleston and
Speaker 3: Low City out of the block seven thirty Saturday night.
Speaker 3: That's a big matchup in USL Championship at Patriots Point,
Speaker 3: Birmingham and Louden, San Antonio, Monterey Bay, El Paso and
Speaker 3: Colorado Springs, Phoenix and Tulsa, Orange County SC and Oakland Roots.
Speaker 3: That's going to be an interesting one. Keep an eye
Speaker 3: on those two in the Western Conference, Sacramento in New
Speaker 3: Mexico United and Las Vegas and the Tampa Bay Rowdies.
Speaker 3: So Vegas spending money in investing playing Tampa Bay. How
Speaker 3: does Tampa Bay look after losing some of their firepower?
Speaker 3: But honestly, right now you'll look at these matchups in
Speaker 3: week one, seven thirty Saturday night. I know you'll be busy,
Speaker 3: but you can go back and watch it in other ways.
Speaker 3: So right now, your marquee matchup in Championship Charleston lou
Speaker 3: City out of the block. That one's going to be big.
Speaker 3: So looking at the schedule in League one, once again
Speaker 3: we mentioned that tonight it is Tormenta and the Richmond Kickers.
Speaker 3: At seven o'clock. Tomorrow, four o'clock it is Greenville and
Speaker 3: west Chester f C. Naples and Charlotte Independence. That's your
Speaker 3: opening weekend. And then things kick back in on Wednesday
Speaker 3: and it starts to get to further and further full song.
Speaker 3: Greenville and Omaha are playing. So Greenville's got two out
Speaker 3: of the block. So they play Westchester on Saturday, come
Speaker 3: back and play Union Omaha on Wednesday. So that is
Speaker 3: USL League one. But they get off and run and
Speaker 3: Tormented tonight in Statesboro. If you're close, go watch them
Speaker 3: Greenville Saturday afternoon at four o'clock against west Chester and
Speaker 3: that one is at Paladin Stadium on the campus of
Speaker 3: Furman University. So USL Championship, USL League One and the
Speaker 3: NWSL Challenge Cup.
Speaker 1: So that's what you have going on this weekend.
Speaker 3: With all of that now, gossip, broomer and innuendo, what
Speaker 3: to watch, where to watch it, and how to watch it.
Speaker 3: So we'll get the gossip, broomer and innuendo out of
Speaker 3: the way, get you into your juice boxes in the
Speaker 3: prem and get you into everything sliding overseas before we
Speaker 3: dial it back here and discuss everything going on. I
Speaker 3: still have to promot all the things I haven't had
Speaker 3: a chance to promote. That's how busy we are on
Speaker 3: these fridays. By the way, Messi and Friends beat Cavalier
Speaker 3: two nil last night, and a lot of folks were
Speaker 3: saying that Cavalier should have had a goal on the
Speaker 3: board and it was reviewed and pulled off the board,
Speaker 3: so that turned out not to be the case. So
Speaker 3: it ended up being a two nil win for Messi
Speaker 3: and Friends. And Javier Mascherano is paying attention to the
Speaker 3: local physios with Messi and Friends as to whether or
Speaker 3: not Messi will participate in the return fixture at Cavalier
Speaker 3: at the National Stadium in front of thirty five thousand.
Speaker 3: So he says that I'm paraphrasing. He says, listening to
Speaker 3: the doctors, there's a lot of wear and tear, and
Speaker 3: at the same time looking down the road and this
Speaker 3: is stuff that we knew and navigating the schedule because
Speaker 3: you have multiple competitions, you have international play and all
Speaker 3: of the stuff compressing in on itself and you're looking
Speaker 3: out for you know, Messi as well as the other
Speaker 3: end friends and what you're trying to do with your lineups.
Speaker 1: So keep an eye.
Speaker 3: Not really sure that Messi is going to play in
Speaker 3: the reverse fixture at Cavalier, but we will certainly keep
Speaker 3: an eye on that, okay. Manchester United considering a move
Speaker 3: for Jean Felipe Matteta in the summer three letter paper
Speaker 3: take the information at your own peril. Real Madrid and Byron,
Speaker 3: Chelsea and Spurs all interested in Bournemouth's U twenty one
Speaker 3: defender Dean Houston, who would cost fifty million pounds. Once again,
Speaker 3: the four letter paper, west Ham Crystal Palace among the
Speaker 3: clubs looking to sign Southampton defender Taylor Harwood. Bellus This summer.
Speaker 3: Harwood Bellus is not looking forward to staying at Southampton
Speaker 3: if they get relegated. He once out and so it's
Speaker 3: going to be a matter of time Southampton gets relegated.
Speaker 3: So Taylor Harwood Bellis is looking to leave Southampton in
Speaker 3: the off season. Athletico Madrid expected to bid about sixty
Speaker 3: million euro to sign Mason Greenwood at the end of
Speaker 3: the season. Mason Greenwood also declared for Jamaica to be
Speaker 3: a Jamaican international and not be with the three Lions
Speaker 3: that also came out. Joshua Kimmick looks set to stay
Speaker 3: at Bayern the summer, despite interest from Arsenal and PSG.
Speaker 3: Chelsea interested in Raal bettiste U nineteen winger Haesus Rodriguez,
Speaker 3: who has a forty two million pound release clause. Liverpool
Speaker 3: also monitoring four letter paper. Manchester United and Liverpool have
Speaker 3: asked about the availability of Atalanta midfielder Edison, although Manchester
Speaker 3: City also have a strong interest in the fifteen million
Speaker 3: pound rated twenty five year old. Manchester United hope to
Speaker 3: make summer sales before activating the eighty million year old
Speaker 3: release clause in the contract of Urbi Leipzig striker Benjamin Seshko.
Speaker 3: Liverpool also is chasing after Seshko as well. Liverpool could
Speaker 3: send Harvey Elliott out on loan next season so he
Speaker 3: plays more first team minutes. Barcelona are prioritizing a new
Speaker 3: contract with Frankie DeJong after interest from Arsenal. So that
Speaker 3: is gossip, brumer and innuendo on the day. So juice
Speaker 3: boxes in the Premier League before we get into what
Speaker 3: to watch, where to watch it, how to watch it
Speaker 3: to start off your weekend, and remember you have only

Speaker 3: of our Soccer for Good ideas for twenty twenty five
Speaker 3: and beyond. All right, we can whip around time patent
Speaker 3: pending trademark coming sooner hopefully rather than later, going through
Speaker 3: all the juice boxes and all the matchups, and when
Speaker 3: Jason comes and joins us as he traditionally does on Fridays,
Speaker 3: we'll go through at Landy and I will go through
Speaker 3: the twos specifically because the Twos are playing tonight kicking
Speaker 3: off MLS Next Pro season. One of the five matchups
Speaker 3: I want to say in Next Pro for the twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five season, and we'll break all of that down
Speaker 3: just a little bit, but let's go through all the
Speaker 3: other matchups in Juleague soccer. Go ahead and throw your
Speaker 3: predictions into the Twitch pitch and we will. We'll rock
Speaker 3: and roll there as well. So it starts off at
Speaker 3: two thirty, and I got to figure out do we
Speaker 3: have the announcer assignments and like I said, I ask
Speaker 3: this out loud, wondering if anyone has seen them, and
Speaker 3: we can do the end. We can also do the
Speaker 3: referee assignments as well, so we can roll through all
Speaker 3: of that. So free newsletters and no assignments as yet,
Speaker 3: nothing there.
Speaker 1: So what about here?
Speaker 3: And do we have those notifications here? Boardroom talks expected
Speaker 3: goals and the answer is no.
Speaker 1: So we do not have.
Speaker 3: The matchups and the announced teams for the matchups this weekend.
Speaker 3: But here we go, all right, starting things off, it
Speaker 3: is the early matchup on Saturday, Crew in Houston cruise
Speaker 3: of minus one twenty eight. Houston on the roads of
Speaker 3: plus three eighteen draws a plus two to eighty. I
Speaker 3: want to see what the lineup is. I don't think
Speaker 3: it's going to deter Columbus all that much, but I
Speaker 3: think that Columbus of the minus one twenty eight at
Speaker 3: home traditionally very tough. I think Columbus gets a win here,
Speaker 3: and there's going to be more early season questions, however,
Speaker 3: unwarranted with what's going on in Houston. Seattle in LA
Speaker 3: at four forty five, which means four to fifty five,
Speaker 3: so two thirty means two forty four to forty five
Speaker 3: I think mean for fifty five. Seattle and LAFC. We
Speaker 3: had our buddy Nico Moreno on yesterday to discuss. He
Speaker 3: is somewhat concerned about the lack of firepower that he's
Speaker 3: seen so far from Seattle. So Seattle coming off conker
Speaker 3: CAF Champions Cup, going up against LAFC at home midweek weekend,
Speaker 3: mid So weekend, midweek weekend, Seattle's a plus one oh four,
Speaker 3: so they're close to even money. LAFC once again they
Speaker 3: played in the midweek as well, They're a plus two
Speaker 3: to fifty six. Nico was learning more, leaning more toward
Speaker 3: the draw at plus two thirty five, once again saving
Speaker 3: Atlanta United in Red Bulls. We're gonna put that one
Speaker 3: off to the side. Start at your seven thirties. DC
Speaker 3: and Sporting Kansas City. D C is a minus one
Speaker 3: fifteen at home. I can't remember the last time DC
Speaker 3: was a minus at home. DC a minus at home
Speaker 3: hosting Sporting Kansas City. Sporting is a plus two sixty
Speaker 3: three and your draws a plus two ninety two. I've
Speaker 3: still we've got early season questions about Sporting and it's
Speaker 3: surrounding the offense Obviously DC might be a favorite by
Speaker 3: default in the juice boxes.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking more draw here at a plus two ninety two.
Speaker 3: I think both teams may equally frustrate their fan bases
Speaker 3: out of the blocks, and I think that's why you
Speaker 3: might end up with a draw once again. At plus
Speaker 3: two ninety two, Cincinnati hosting Toronto. Toronto is a plus
Speaker 3: three sixty five, no surprise, pushing plus three hundred on
Speaker 3: the draw depending on where you look, and Cincinnati's a
Speaker 3: minus one forty seven. I don't think we need to
Speaker 3: discuss this a whole lot any further. Toronto's in trouble
Speaker 3: in a bunch of different ways, and.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean it's looking pretty bad. So obviously go with
Speaker 3: Cincinnati here. And I will say this using this match
Speaker 3: as the marker. Check your fantasy teams. Check your fantasy teams.
Speaker 3: Check your fantasy teams. But also with Cincinnati, check your lineups,
Speaker 3: because once again Conker caf midweek, so we'll see what
Speaker 3: that looks like for Cincinnati. But Cincinnati favorite of minus
Speaker 3: one forty seven at home, so we'll see what happens there.
Speaker 1: Did you see did you see.
Speaker 3: The story out of New England. Did you see the
Speaker 3: story out of New England. We'll get into that in
Speaker 3: a second as we're rolling through everything. Jarrett joins us
Speaker 3: here at twenty five after the hour, Jared, we're rolling
Speaker 3: through weekend whip barown and I had stopped at the
Speaker 3: matchup involving New England in Philadelphia, and it was a
Speaker 3: story that came out from Sam Minton. Sam Minton, Well,
Speaker 3: I was just rolling through the games in order, so
Speaker 3: I had stopped when you had come in at the
Speaker 3: New England Philadelphia game headline the Blazing Musket. Caleb Porter
Speaker 3: responds on ninety eight five to report of argument with
Speaker 3: Richie Williams, So our friends at the Blazing Musket. Earlier
Speaker 3: this week, a report surface saying that the New England
Speaker 3: Revolution head coach KAELA. Porter had a disagreement with Revolution
Speaker 3: two head coach Richie Williams during a scrimmage. Porter addressed
Speaker 3: the report during his weekly interview with ninety eight five
Speaker 3: The Sports Hub. According to w prro's Tom Quinlan, Porter
Speaker 3: and Williams had an argument in front of players during
Speaker 3: a scrimmage. Quinland later added Williams wanted to switch sides
Speaker 3: at halftime. During the scrimmage, which later led to the argument.
Speaker 3: The report was noted on ninety eight five's Zolak and
Speaker 3: Bertrand show. So I imagine Scott Zolac, who sounds like
Speaker 3: he's gargled glass for the last twenty five years, and Bertrand,
Speaker 3: during the Porter's Weekly interview, asked about the reported argument.
Speaker 1: Worse.
Speaker 3: It's worse than Scott's. Yeah, Scotty Z's worse is worse
Speaker 3: than Farrell's. And the thing is is that Scott that
Speaker 3: Farrell just talks. Zolac yells and has that voice, so
Speaker 3: he Zolac is color for the New England Paige. It's
Speaker 3: also so he's instantly disgusted on air a lot of
Speaker 3: the time, and he lets you know that too. So
Speaker 3: Caleb Porter says, yeah, it's pro sports. So it turns
Speaker 3: out people disagree sometimes in pro sports. I don't really
Speaker 3: think it's a big deal at all. At the end
Speaker 3: of the day, it's pro sports. And I'll leave it
Speaker 3: at that end quote. And there's a link to the
Speaker 3: interview at ninety eighty five the Sports Hub with the
Speaker 3: conversations with Caleb Porter, Anda and Zulac and bertrans So.
Speaker 1: You know, I'll sit here and say, look, it's it's coaches.
Speaker 3: They're they're talking, they're doing their thing, and sometimes folks
Speaker 3: are wound up a little tighter than normal.
Speaker 1: Apparently your volume is low. Can you adjust your volume? Sir?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can actually give me a minute?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so that is the Is that better? Will?
Speaker 1: You're fine to me? So?
Speaker 3: Will said your volume was low? But so but yes,
Speaker 3: So New England is apparently having coaches that are squawking
Speaker 3: at each other. I mean it's New England, so not
Speaker 3: really necessarily a surprise that coaches would squawk just in
Speaker 3: general in the Northeast at one another and be somewhat heated.
Speaker 3: But we have this happening at practice with Richie and
Speaker 3: with Caleb Porter uh here early in the season for
Speaker 3: the Revs.
Speaker 1: Like that's just what they do. Yeah, yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: kind of their thing.
Speaker 3: Uh. And the Revs are favored, by the way, how
Speaker 3: how this is? This might be what they refer to
Speaker 3: as a line mistake. The Revs are favored at a
Speaker 3: plus one. Philadelphia is a plus one seventy with current
Speaker 3: MVP candidate Ty Barbo and your draws a plus two
Speaker 3: fifty seven. I have the feeling that this is a
Speaker 3: line mistake right now with these two clubs.
Speaker 1: Would agree? I agree? I don't. I don't know how
Speaker 1: you end up with the how? How? How? How do
Speaker 1: you how?
Speaker 3: I feel like Ross all of a sudden, I'm friends,
Speaker 3: How how do you end up with the Revs as
Speaker 3: a favorite against Philadelphia in this matchups. I'm just saying,
Speaker 3: it's a line mistake. That's what I'm staring at here.
Speaker 1: Uh No, I know it's it's early. It's to me,
Speaker 1: it's a line mistake.
Speaker 3: And I think that if anyone has any juice boxes
Speaker 3: of a decent flavor that they don't mind parting with,
Speaker 3: you might want to look at Philly. NYC is hosting
Speaker 3: the Purple team at seven forty. N y C is
Speaker 3: favored at home at a plus one sixteen, Purple teams
Speaker 3: a plus two thirty one and draws a plus two forty.
Speaker 1: Jared's just like, keep right on rolling.
Speaker 3: Jared's trying to fix the headset. Okay, so I'll tell
Speaker 3: you what apparently, Oh wow, Okay, Austin and go for it.
Speaker 1: I'st yes and no.
Speaker 7: When Caleb has been like my guy of my first
Speaker 7: gone manatures who be gone Yeah, I mean that's yeah, literally,
Speaker 7: that's uh that that's kind of what I'm staring at.
Speaker 3: Uh, Purple Team, big underdog heading north to take on
Speaker 3: in my sea at a plus two thirty one. In
Speaker 3: my CEA is a plus one sixteen. I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 3: Orlando City's probably shown more offensively, but once again, you're
Speaker 3: on the road. Okay. So we got that one, and uh,
Speaker 3: well part of part of so we got that part
Speaker 3: of he'll hear me trying to fix the heads. Ah, yes, yeah, really,
Speaker 3: I mean so so that's uh, you know, that's that's
Speaker 3: where that one is. Austin and Colorado minus one thirty two.
Speaker 3: Austin is favored at home no surprise at Q two
Speaker 3: two and your draws a plus two eighty nine. So
Speaker 3: there's there's that one with their Dallas and Chicago. Dallas
Speaker 3: and minus one twenty eight plus two ninety six on
Speaker 3: the draw. Chicago is a plus three hundred. Nashville and
Speaker 3: Portland natural at home is a minus one twenty three
Speaker 3: and uh it is plus two eighty two, and Portland
Speaker 3: is a plus three oh four. RSL hosting Salt Lake
Speaker 3: RSL's a minus one o six. San Diego FC is
Speaker 3: a plus two fifty seven, draws a plus two seventy one,
Speaker 3: and Vancouver is a minus two thirteen plus three forty
Speaker 3: nine and Montreal is a plus five twenty four. San
Speaker 3: Jose a plus one thirty three, draws a plus two
Speaker 3: sixty one, Minnesota a plus one seventy nine. And on
Speaker 3: the weekend, Messi and Friends are hosting Charlott to minus
Speaker 3: two oh four plus three sixty six is your draw.
Speaker 3: Charlotte is a plus four forty four, Galaxy are a
Speaker 3: minus one twenty two, Saint Louis City is a plus
Speaker 3: two ninety three, and your draw is a plus two
Speaker 3: to eighty five.
Speaker 1: So that is the.
Speaker 3: Rundown for the week in any of those matches. Do
Speaker 3: any of those matches peak your interest in any manner, way, shape,
Speaker 3: or form.
Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, okay hit me.
Speaker 4: The Galaxy lost to Editiano in the midweek in concap
Speaker 4: Jamis League. They're punt on this game and go be Editiano.
Speaker 4: So this feels like a classic. We lost in the midweek.
Speaker 4: We're gonna make it worse by losing on the weekend
Speaker 4: because we cannot afford to lose in the in the
Speaker 4: midweek next week against Editdiano.
Speaker 1: So give me that one. That's fun.
Speaker 4: Also, Vancouver, the the Rise of Vancouver will continue to
Speaker 4: be fun for everyone involved. One draw with Raotas is
Speaker 4: not anything to sneeze at the other ones. For me,
Speaker 4: in the name of chaos, I'm a firm believer that
Speaker 4: I'm a firm believer that my two favorite non Atlanta
Speaker 4: trophies for twenty twenty five will be Chicago winning a
Speaker 4: trophy because I want to watch everyone have an aneurysm
Speaker 4: when Greg Berhalter wins a trophy. I want to watch
Speaker 4: you all suffer. I want to see the I want
Speaker 4: to see like the blood shooting out of your eyes
Speaker 4: like a lizard. I also would be very tickled if
Speaker 4: Bruce Arena drags what has been a listless lost in
Speaker 4: the desert for forty years level quakes and win a
Speaker 4: trophy with the quakes, Because if two of the trophies
Speaker 4: for twenty twenty five go to Chicago and San Jose,
Speaker 4: I can't think of a better excuse for you never
Speaker 4: to bet on this stupid ass league.
Speaker 1: Oh that's funny, I'm glad you agree.
Speaker 3: Yes, No, but chaos is always chaos. I mean that's
Speaker 3: the that's the fun part and apparently you sound like
Speaker 3: you're you're you're at your best that you've been you know,
Speaker 3: the the whole, the whole, the whole segment. You you
Speaker 3: have finally increased.
Speaker 4: Uh So, So the background here is I'm working on
Speaker 4: a new headset. I just haven't finalized everything on it,
Speaker 4: so I'm still tinkering with set up on it. Ah Okay,
Speaker 4: so yeah, it's this is this is like the backup
Speaker 4: piece now that I'm using the one that is stable.
Speaker 4: I just haven't configured the new one all the way
Speaker 4: and messing with some of the audio settings and they're
Speaker 4: they're just not there yet, which is fine. It'll it'll
Speaker 4: take time. Actually I used it last night with Maddie
Speaker 4: when we did the six pack and it worked fine.
Speaker 4: It'll just it's just going to.
Speaker 1: Be a matter of tinkering.
Speaker 4: So that's that's kind of the it's kind of the
Speaker 4: the the off stage information on it.
Speaker 1: Okay. Uh it is ten thirty five.
Speaker 3: We're in the last half hour of the show, and
Speaker 3: it is time to meet it just it means that
Speaker 3: we got a bunch of folks that are hopping in
Speaker 3: here on a Friday. Bart has decided to drop me
Speaker 3: in from the soccer for us pod and apparently he's
Speaker 3: in some coastal deal.
Speaker 1: With his uh, with his uh what do you call that? This?
Speaker 1: Pitt avatar? John, thank you avatar? That's the word I'm
Speaker 1: looking for.
Speaker 3: And that Jared is actually on camera because Bart is
Speaker 3: showing an avatar.
Speaker 1: Jared is on camera.
Speaker 4: I had to throw it off. We have to find
Speaker 4: some sort of balance in this world.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. So welcome Jon. What is happening?
Speaker 4: Well, Well, for one thing, you left us last night
Speaker 4: and allowed me to.
Speaker 1: Do the Oh boy, Yeah, that's how it goes, Jared.
Speaker 1: We allow you to do stuff and you disappear.
Speaker 3: Oh well, I think I think that the lords, the
Speaker 3: lords of soccer have hit a button, and so so
Speaker 3: Jarrett once again, he's gonna try it. Did you hit
Speaker 3: a did you hit a button?
Speaker 1: Sir?
Speaker 4: No, it kicked me. I'm assuming, I'm assuming Jason remembered that,
Speaker 4: Like he allowed me to do the six pack last
Speaker 4: night without guardrails and he was like, nope, not doing
Speaker 4: that again because he was up there.
Speaker 1: Credit for kicking you out this time. Give it time though.
Speaker 1: We've got about ten to fifteen minutes here. That's fair anyway.
Speaker 1: So how long do we have you, Jason, it's fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes ors.
Speaker 3: Huh okay, First and foremost, the Twos kick off tonight
Speaker 3: and that's on the network seven o'clock pre game with
Speaker 3: Maddie and you and you have the call starting at
Speaker 3: seven point thirty from your time at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
Speaker 3: What has what have you seen with the twos and
Speaker 3: Steve Cook getting ready for this one against Red Bulls too.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a little bit different kind of grew
Speaker 1: for the twos this year. We'll have a preview coming
Speaker 1: up on the SDH network early this afternoon. You'll hear
Speaker 1: from Steve Cook. You'll hear from new attacker Ryan Carmichael.
Speaker 1: You'll hear from Ronan Wynn, who fingers crossed will get
Speaker 1: his visa in time to be able to participate tonight.
Speaker 1: You also hear from Cooper Sanchez, who somehow grew again
Speaker 1: in the offseason. The kid is gonna be a giant
Speaker 1: by the time we're all said and done. But no,
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different kind of group. I think
Speaker 1: it's a little bit older group, kind of an in
Speaker 1: between I think you see some teams in MLS Next
Speaker 1: Pro treat their second team truly like a reserve team
Speaker 1: to the first team, and you see some treat it
Speaker 1: as an extension of the academy. I think Atlanta had
Speaker 1: kind of trended towards the latter in the last couple
Speaker 1: of years, very very young group, and now I think
Speaker 1: it's a little bit in between. I like the mix
Speaker 1: of some guys like Carmichael Moys's Tablante who have played
Speaker 1: at this level and are very good players at this level.
Speaker 1: Javier Armas is going to be the captain this season.
Speaker 1: You've got guys who know what it takes to win
Speaker 1: and succeed at this level. And then you have guys
Speaker 1: who are like Cooper and Dominic chong Que and others
Speaker 1: who are on Atlanta United two deals or on academy
Speaker 1: deals playing at this level, who are figuring out what
Speaker 1: it takes to be at this level. But when you
Speaker 1: have some guys who have been there and done that,
Speaker 1: it helps ground the group a little bit more and
Speaker 1: I think it helps the younger guys have a chance
Speaker 1: at success. And Steve Cook has said it, this is
Speaker 1: a group that he wants to see reach the postseason
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five something. Atlanta United Two's never done.
Speaker 1: Doing that doesn't guarantee success at the first team level,
Speaker 1: but it can help some of those guys along the way.
Speaker 1: I think we've seen guys have success from the twos
Speaker 1: at the first team level. Caleb Wiley, George Bellow, guys
Speaker 1: that you saw come through the twos play get a
Speaker 1: lot of time, Noah Cob, plenty of others. There's different
Speaker 1: ways to do, but I think if you get guys
Speaker 1: who get those playoff kind of games at this level,
Speaker 1: whether we're talking academy, whether we're talking Next Pro, when
Speaker 1: you get into those moments with the first team, not
Speaker 1: the same, but it's a little bit of a helping
Speaker 1: step up the ladder to do that. Jared, your question
Speaker 1: for Jason as we roll things here.
Speaker 4: We talked Jason last year about guys who needed to
Speaker 4: step up for Atlanta United too. A lot of it
Speaker 4: was centered around guys like Luke Brennan, e Fra Morales.
Speaker 4: It was a look, you're gonna probably be on the
Speaker 4: outside looking in. I need you to go out there
Speaker 4: and put up like MLS Next Pro Best eleven performances
Speaker 4: and show that you are part of this conversation going forward.
Speaker 4: Who were those guys this year, if not the same guys,
Speaker 4: who are those guys you're looking at and saying from you,
Speaker 4: I need stellar performances to show me you're ready to
Speaker 4: take that step.
Speaker 1: Cooper's one. I think Cooper Sanchez, who was with the
Speaker 1: USU seventeens, helped them qualify for the World Cup, played
Speaker 1: a good bit with that group. I think he is
Speaker 1: a guy who has all the tools to be a
Speaker 1: major league soccer player, and to get there, you've got
Speaker 1: to perform at this level and not just be part
Speaker 1: of the group and do pretty well. You've got to
Speaker 1: stand out at this level. He's one that I think
Speaker 1: can take that jump. Dominic Chonkui is another one that
Speaker 1: you know, maybe we take for granted that because he's
Speaker 1: been with the first team, he'll be with the first
Speaker 1: team again this weekend, that he is on that pathway,
Speaker 1: but he needs to be a standout, you know, at
Speaker 1: this level, that's what those guys have to be. F
Speaker 1: Ryan Morales, I would assume we'll play a good bit
Speaker 1: for the two's, especially early as you've got everybody healthy
Speaker 1: at the center back position. Again, no mistakes, got to
Speaker 1: be solid, got to win all his duels, and got
Speaker 1: to be show that he can do what Ronnie Daila
Speaker 1: and Steve Cook want and are they the same coach? No,
Speaker 1: are they going to be in alignment with how they
Speaker 1: want the teams to play. Yes, So for Ryan means
Speaker 1: finding those opportunities to get vertical, to play the ball long,
Speaker 1: to play the ball into the right channels, get guys forward,
Speaker 1: get out of your own half. So these are the
Speaker 1: things that you're looking for when Brennan gets time with
Speaker 1: the two's. Yes, he's got to produce goals and assists.
Speaker 1: It's about production and it's about standing out. At this level,
Speaker 1: you want the team to stand out as a group,
Speaker 1: but you're looking for individuals to rise above that and
Speaker 1: be in a position basically where you can't deny them
Speaker 1: minutes at the first team level because they're doing so
Speaker 1: well at the second team level.
Speaker 3: Bart Kayler Soccer for us PO D joining the Fray
Speaker 3: here on the weekend, whip around talking at Landy United
Speaker 3: too and MLS Next Pro.
Speaker 1: United. If you want to yes that game on Saturday, John,
Speaker 1: it's kind of a big deal.
Speaker 4: Well, there's also Richie Williams conversations.
Speaker 1: Let's not forget Richie Williams might be getting more people
Speaker 1: and getting them got watch out. Fine, all right, fine
Speaker 1: Bart talk a Landy United. We'll go there. Yeah, my
Speaker 1: question was that.
Speaker 4: He's not asking you, he's telling you. You have to
Speaker 4: talk about.
Speaker 8: You know, we have seen not a complete revolution of
Speaker 8: the way that Red Bulls play soccer, but they have
Speaker 8: tried to play soccer, which is.
Speaker 1: The new, newly formed and newly minted team.
Speaker 8: Atlanta United typically struggles against those teams who, look, we
Speaker 8: saw it against Charlotte last week, who are more than
Speaker 8: happy to say, okay, you have the ball, will defend
Speaker 8: with Red Bulls being a little more open, but Atlanta
Speaker 8: also trying to maybe implement a little bit higher and
Speaker 8: more intensive oppress. How does that flip of a slight
Speaker 8: script affect the way that we'll see our especially our
Speaker 8: who knows what our back line will be back line?
Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, I've had this conversation a lot this week.
Speaker 1: I'm not as hung up on the back line because
Speaker 1: you've had a lot of injuries. So we've got to
Speaker 1: see the group as it's intended to be before we
Speaker 1: snapped any judgments. You got to see Brookslyn in there,
Speaker 1: you got to see pedro amedor in there. I thought
Speaker 1: both looked really good in training on Tuesday where we
Speaker 1: got to watch the whole session, especially Brooks. He's not
Speaker 1: available this week, and I think that is more related
Speaker 1: to the recovery from the shoulder surgery than anything else,
Speaker 1: because he looked in mid season form on Tuesday. Hopefully
Speaker 1: he will be ready to go for next week. Pedroromedor
Speaker 1: looks like he's ready to go. And the reason why
Speaker 1: I say that about not judging the back line yet
Speaker 1: is it's not purely about them defending. For me, it's
Speaker 1: about what you do in the attack, because I think
Speaker 1: this team looks really different if, with all of the
Speaker 1: development that you've had in the first half in terms
Speaker 1: of creating chances and opportunities, if you scored more than
Speaker 1: one goal. I think the team looks really different. If
Speaker 1: you've got more than one goal on the board in
Speaker 1: the first forty five in both of those games, I
Speaker 1: don't think we're talking about the defense after that. Charlotte's
Speaker 1: a prime example. Look, they didn't do anything in the
Speaker 1: first half, no, not a zilch and what did they do.
Speaker 1: They sent two long balls that you didn't deal with well,
Speaker 1: and they score two goals and then they look like
Speaker 1: rock Stars. Defensively, did anything really change. No, they just
Speaker 1: had the lead and they were able to be comfortable.
Speaker 1: I think Atlanta's got to go out and get goals.
Speaker 1: When they have those quality moments in games, They've got
Speaker 1: to go get goals. What will help them get goals
Speaker 1: is more width, and that's something that you haven't been
Speaker 1: able to get with. I think Ronald Hernandez is probably
Speaker 1: the closest out of what we've seen to giving you that.
Speaker 1: But he's going to naturally come in on the right
Speaker 1: foot when he's on the left side. Matt Edwards, when
Speaker 1: he's gotten forward, the team's looked better. But he's a
Speaker 1: young player. You know you're trying to get him comfortable
Speaker 1: and getting forward more often. Luisa Bram's the center back.
Speaker 1: He can give you the defensive side of it left back,
Speaker 1: but he's not comfortable going high up the field. It's
Speaker 1: not his position. So when you get wider, then I
Speaker 1: think the attack looks more like it's intended to look
Speaker 1: because Miggi and Saba coming into those interior channels, it
Speaker 1: makes you look like you have five across the front. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's what this team's supposed to look like. They
Speaker 1: haven't been able to do that.
Speaker 8: Frustrating and not blaming Matt Edwards because obviously that's I
Speaker 8: think we've established that's not his comfort level.
Speaker 1: But there were many eperience. Yeah exactly, I think he's capable.
Speaker 1: I think it's just ignoing when to go. That's it.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 8: It was a little frustrating watching him against Charlotte, where
Speaker 8: there were progressive passes he probably should have made. But
Speaker 8: as a kid who isn't experience comfortable, whatever word do
Speaker 8: you want to use, he's not there yet.
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing, though, Martin, this is I
Speaker 1: do want to say this about Matt Edwards because I
Speaker 1: feel like, for whatever reason, because of one misplayed bouncing ball,
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of conversation this week about how
Speaker 1: Matt Edwards can't play at this level. Matt Edwards shut
Speaker 1: down wilfred Zaha for forty five minutes, so you know,
Speaker 1: to the point.
Speaker 4: That they quit trying to play down the right side.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they Yeah, exactly, they gave him.
Speaker 4: Trying to play to Wilfrid Zaja, so they had to
Speaker 4: go over the top because Matt Edwards got so inside
Speaker 4: of Wilfrid Zaja's brain that Zaja was trying to start
Speaker 4: a fight with a twenty two year old because his
Speaker 4: feelings were hurt.
Speaker 1: So that happened, and you got this situation where I
Speaker 1: think Edwards was maybe a little more reluctant because of
Speaker 1: his matchup to get forward, and it did affect the
Speaker 1: attack and I thought you got a little too narrow
Speaker 1: at times and it got clogged up. And that's a challenge.
Speaker 1: I think the other challenges is look Edwards has had
Speaker 1: a lot of sprints. If you look at the numbers,
Speaker 1: he's one of the leading Atlanta United players in terms
Speaker 1: of sprints. That's different than covering the ground on the
Speaker 1: offensive side, and you want him higher up the field,
Speaker 1: you want him positionally higher. But he's putting in the
Speaker 1: work at a level and at an intensity level that
Speaker 1: he's never done before. So I think he's he's hitting
Speaker 1: walls a little bit in the second half as well,
Speaker 1: and that's just something that you know, you have to
Speaker 1: learn how to deal with. You'd be in a much
Speaker 1: better position if you're able to bring him in for
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen minutes at a time and then he's
Speaker 1: good and he's comfortable and he gets it well. Now, look,
Speaker 1: you've jump started the process and it's going to help
Speaker 1: you later in the season because we know what Brooks
Speaker 1: Lenin gives you. He's going to give you absolutely that
Speaker 1: width that the team needs. He's going to put in crosses,
Speaker 1: he's going to pick out Latte lot. I think Brooks
Speaker 1: Lennon is even with missing some games early on, I
Speaker 1: think he's poised for a double digitus this season. I
Speaker 1: really do in this system. But now you've got that
Speaker 1: opportunity that maybe you haven't had in the past. Brooks
Speaker 1: Linen can absolutely run himself into the ground for seventy
Speaker 1: minutes and he will and he will, and now if
Speaker 1: you need him to come out, you've got a guy
Speaker 1: who shut down a premier league winger and is going
Speaker 1: to be more comfortable when he's in those moments laden games.
Speaker 1: So you've got more depth. It's not how you want
Speaker 1: to get there, but these injuries early on have helped
Speaker 1: you create a little more depth. So I hope it
Speaker 1: helps in the long run. And I can't wait to
Speaker 1: see Lennon back in this group because then I think
Speaker 1: the attack is better. Then I think you're spacing is better.
Speaker 1: Then I think you get even better chances and you
Speaker 1: start to find more goals in the first half of
Speaker 1: these games where you're playing really.
Speaker 3: Well, about another ten minutes with Jason before he turns
Speaker 3: into a pumpkin here on a Friday.
Speaker 4: Uh, not turning into a pumpkin. Fine, you have your
Speaker 4: very very busy man. Jason actually announces when he's gonna leave.
Speaker 1: To be fair, yeah, I don't disappear like some people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh I yes, sidebar. Michael Parkhurst was not impressed
Speaker 3: with wilfrid Zaha and his efforts.
Speaker 1: Against I wasn't either, And it's so crazy the way
Speaker 1: that we talk about this league at times, like I
Speaker 1: don't know, we don't actually watch games. You know, if
Speaker 1: you see the stat sheet and you try to give
Speaker 1: him an assist on the first goal, which is fragerous,
Speaker 1: you know, and I mean even he's like a bruh.
Speaker 1: It wasn't an assist, and you look at that and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, he was great, he stood out and
Speaker 1: look at it. He didn't do anything. He got shut
Speaker 1: down by Matt Edwards, shut down to the point that
Speaker 1: he's shoving him and losing his head. He scores a
Speaker 1: decent first time volley that he didn't catch completely on
Speaker 1: a rebound and Brad's leaning the other way and it
Speaker 1: has to come back to his left to try to
Speaker 1: get it rebound. Like he's going to be good. He
Speaker 1: wasn't in the first match. And I think Charlotte is
Speaker 1: going to be a good team. I think on paper,
Speaker 1: they make a statement with this win because they beat
Speaker 1: a team that, in my opinion, is more talented. I
Speaker 1: think Charlotte has the potential to be in that ab
Speaker 1: tier in terms of the Eastern Conference. I don't think
Speaker 1: they're there yet because they haven't shown enough to go
Speaker 1: out and win games. They can frustrate you defensively, they
Speaker 1: can get jobs done. Can they go out and win
Speaker 1: a game and hitting a couple of games to start
Speaker 1: the season, so that would be true.
Speaker 4: But they scored three Seattle scored one of them for them.
Speaker 1: Well, yes, one of them is an own goal that look,
Speaker 1: they created good on them. The other two are long balls,
Speaker 1: and if that's what you're going to rely on, then
Speaker 1: go buy lottery tickets because hopefully you win them, because
Speaker 1: that's what a long ball is. You know, this is
Speaker 1: a team that's very good defensively, but I think you
Speaker 1: need more in the attack. Zaha should give them that
Speaker 1: a jumon should give them that. Will they and will
Speaker 1: Dean Smith let them go more? That's my question. The
Speaker 1: East is very crowded, and I'm not really all that
Speaker 1: convinced by Charlotte yet. I think they have the potential,
Speaker 1: but I think Atlanta is a better team that needs
Speaker 1: to get all the way on the field with their
Speaker 1: starting lineup. Miami is a better team until anybody proves
Speaker 1: them otherwise. Cincinnati is very good. I still have some questions,
Speaker 1: but they're very good. Columbus is showing that they don't
Speaker 1: need starting strikers. They can just go and do their
Speaker 1: thing anyway because Wilfrid Zaha is a magician slash warlock.
Speaker 1: Orlando is pretty good, but I think they're kind of
Speaker 1: in the same spot as Charlotte. I think the Red
Speaker 1: Bulls are better than Charlotte. I think this game this
Speaker 1: weekend is two of the three best teams on paper
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 3: So when you look at Red Bulls, obviously Emil Forsburg
Speaker 3: in the middle of it all, he's the one that
Speaker 3: you've got to keep an eye on. And it's going
Speaker 3: to be a big assignment for the two sixes for
Speaker 3: Atlanta United whomever they are this weekend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Forsburg is a perfect fit for this system, and
Speaker 1: he's been in the Red Bull family for a long time,
Speaker 1: so he gets what it is. And I think he's
Speaker 1: that guy that they've been chasing since they signed Kaku
Speaker 1: from Pararaguay, who didn't give them the pressing side that
Speaker 1: they needed Forstburg gives them both sides of the ball,
Speaker 1: which is huge. You also signed Chupo Motang. You're talking
Speaker 1: about a super experienced striker who gets it. As Bart said,
Speaker 1: this is a team that can play more. They're never
Speaker 1: gonna be a team that wants to dominate possession. That's
Speaker 1: just not their mo but this group's more comfortable with
Speaker 1: it and it can do a lot more with it.
Speaker 1: This is a good New York Red Bulls team that
Speaker 1: I thought last year when they had a mil Forsberg was,
Speaker 1: you know, the second best team in the East. They
Speaker 1: showed they get to the Cup final. This is a
Speaker 1: good group. I think they got better in the offseason.
Speaker 1: I think Sandro Schwartz is a really good manager. So
Speaker 1: tactically they're going to be set up in a really
Speaker 1: similar way to Montreal just in terms of the shape,
Speaker 1: but they play it so differently because of that, you know,
Speaker 1: lack of maybe wonting the ball and keeping it for
Speaker 1: periods of time. It's when they win it in this shape,
Speaker 1: this three four two one, it is go time, and
Speaker 1: it's get forward, and it's get vertical, and it's don't hesitate,
Speaker 1: don't worry about keeping the ball for a couple of
Speaker 1: extra seconds, just go. That's something Atlanta's going to have
Speaker 1: to deal with. And Forsburg, I think, is so good
Speaker 1: in those moments because he's done it for so long.
Speaker 1: They win the ball. Wherever they win the ball, Fordsburg
Speaker 1: is immediately looking ahead of him to find a pocket
Speaker 1: of space to get into and to receive the ball,
Speaker 1: and then he can score wonder goals like he did
Speaker 1: last week. He can create opportunities for others. He can
Speaker 1: do whatever he needs to do. You've got to because
Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to be in a position
Speaker 1: this week where you're worried about not worried, you're always
Speaker 1: worried about it, but being able to really deny service
Speaker 1: to him, because the way they transition, it's going to
Speaker 1: be immediate. You want to make sure you're accounting for
Speaker 1: him at all. Times. So whoever the central midfielders are
Speaker 1: and Click came back into training yesterday, but he has
Speaker 1: been ill for a week. I'm not sure exactly what
Speaker 1: the issue was, but I would assume he's not at
Speaker 1: full strength. So I don't know if he's going to
Speaker 1: be able to start. If it's Jay Fortune, if it's
Speaker 1: Milliam Bah, if it's Click for a period of time
Speaker 1: in this one, whoever that is alongside Sleish, you have
Speaker 1: to make sure you know where Forsburg is in those
Speaker 1: transition moments. You want to make it difficult for him.
Speaker 1: You want to make it crowded. You want to because
Speaker 1: they go so fast. You want, whether it's Edelman, whether
Speaker 1: it's Stroud in the midfield. When they win the ball
Speaker 1: and they look for Forstburg, you want them to have
Speaker 1: to hesitate. Can I get that to him? You want
Speaker 1: to make the Red Bulls hesitate because that's not how
Speaker 1: they're comfortable. They don't like to keep the ball for
Speaker 1: an extra beat. They don't like to hesitate. They want
Speaker 1: to go. So if you make them hesitate, they look
Speaker 1: up and they're like, I can't get it to him
Speaker 1: right now? What? Yeah, that's not where they thrive. That's
Speaker 1: how you have to be in this game, and I
Speaker 1: think Sleish and whoever the other six is next to him,
Speaker 1: they're going to have to make sure that Forsburg is
Speaker 1: just accounted for within You know, you'd like to be
Speaker 1: with an arms reach. That's probably not going to happen,
Speaker 1: but you I want to be within enough of a
Speaker 1: passing lane to where those players decide, you know what,
Speaker 1: I can't risk play in this ball down, So jarreed
Speaker 1: before your Irish goodbye? What's up with you? What else
Speaker 1: is on your mind this morning?
Speaker 4: I guess we've talked in the preseason, Jason about toughness
Speaker 4: of this team and about having grit. This is We
Speaker 4: talked about it last night, that this is a rivalry
Speaker 4: that Ronnie Diland knows well. Like he It's a different
Speaker 4: team obviously, Red Bulls is a different team with Bill
Speaker 4: Forstburgh than they were with Kaku when he was like
Speaker 4: bullseyeing fans in the stands. But I want to talk
Speaker 4: about the benefit of these early games like this, like
Speaker 4: getting into a street fight with Charlotte even though you
Speaker 4: didn't win it, getting into a potential street fight with
Speaker 4: Red Bulls. Who will And I told Maddie last night.
Speaker 4: This is my favorite rivalry because it's organic and it
Speaker 4: feels like the players have internalized it to the point
Speaker 4: where last year they were getting in each other's face
Speaker 4: is and people were getting sent off. I want to
Speaker 4: kind of get into the benefits of an early game
Speaker 4: like this in terms of kind of, you know, hardening
Speaker 4: the steel and the mentality of this team team and
Speaker 4: being tough for the middle of the season when you're
Speaker 4: gonna hit rough. How how you can take a rivalry
Speaker 4: game against a team that can be a bully at times.
Speaker 1: I like it because I didn't see enough of that
Speaker 1: in Charlotte after you fell down to no yep. And
Speaker 1: this is a really talented group for Atlanta United, and
Speaker 1: I think at times they're going to be able to
Speaker 1: just overpower teams with quality. That'll happen. It will happen
Speaker 1: multiple times this season. Not always going to happen though.
Speaker 1: So in those moments where Charlotte gets two goals against
Speaker 1: the run of play, they weren't I say against the
Speaker 1: run of play, People will argue that Charlotte wasn't creating
Speaker 1: more than Atlanta.
Speaker 4: They weren't out, they were they were hoof in it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's because Atlanta was counter pressing the smart they were
Speaker 4: doing what they should have done.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, there's nothing wrong with it. It's two
Speaker 1: moments where they get it right. But it's two long balls. Again,
Speaker 1: these are coin flips. So they won the coin flips.
Speaker 1: That's good. But then when they did that, it felt
Speaker 1: like there was a ten minutes or so of what
Speaker 1: just happened, and there wasn't the response that you wanted.
Speaker 1: The four subs came on and I really liked making
Speaker 1: for it one time. It's not something you normally see,
Speaker 1: but it was a jolt to the system of this
Speaker 1: isn't acceptable. Go make something happen. I thought Shonda Silva
Speaker 1: came in and did well. I thought Tristian william Bah
Speaker 1: came in and did well. Musquatter got bottled up a
Speaker 1: little bit. I like to see them force the ball
Speaker 1: to him a little bit more to give him some
Speaker 1: one v one's. But you have to respond when things
Speaker 1: are not that free flowing, beautiful soccer that I think
Speaker 1: you're going to see a good bit this season. Red
Speaker 1: Bulls game is not going to be free flowing and
Speaker 1: beautiful soccer. It isn't possible for ninety minutes to do that.
Speaker 1: It is possible in chunks and to maximize those chunks,
Speaker 1: but when it's a fight, you gotta throw punches. And
Speaker 1: that's what I want to see from this group. If
Speaker 1: the game starts to get away a little bit, and
Speaker 1: you know, a team gets a couple of goals against
Speaker 1: the run of play like Charlotte did, Okay, next time
Speaker 1: the ball ends up with Wilford, Daha put him on
Speaker 1: the ground. The next time you have somebody in the
Speaker 1: midfield on a fifty to fifty ball, go in strong,
Speaker 1: take a yellow card. It's fine. That's the element that
Speaker 1: this team has not had over previous years. And I'm
Speaker 1: I'm really trying to move past the conversation of well,
Speaker 1: this is what happened last year, but this is what
Speaker 1: happened in twenty three. But this is what happens. It's
Speaker 1: not those teams anymore. This is a very different situation.
Speaker 1: But they have to be tough mentally as well as physically,
Speaker 1: and sometimes you gotta show that and take that yellow card.
Speaker 1: That is absolutely a purposeful yellow card. Go back back
Speaker 1: to Miami and Houston. Last week, Jeordie Alba gets stomped
Speaker 1: on by Kawal Chick. Should have been potentially a red card.
Speaker 1: Joe Dickerson looks at it and I guess, smirks and
Speaker 1: doesn't do anything. What happens the next sequence, Jeordi Alba
Speaker 1: decks the guy and he gets a yellow card. And
Speaker 1: you saw Jordi Alba's reaction to it. He's like, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: I handled it. You gotta take some of those. You
Speaker 1: have to take some yellow cards like that, even if
Speaker 1: it's not where you got stomped on. But to change
Speaker 1: the energy of the game. This Red Bulls team, as
Speaker 1: they showed at Mercedes Benz last year, they might not
Speaker 1: be able to handle that change of energy. They might
Speaker 1: lose their head. They might take a red card in
Speaker 1: that moment where you take a yellow. Good good. But
Speaker 1: you've got to be able to change the energy at times.
Speaker 1: And that's gonna mean Bartek Sleish getting a little nasty
Speaker 1: at times. That's gonna mean Matato's click, Tristan William bah
Speaker 1: Jay Fortune getting a little nasty at times. It's gonna
Speaker 1: mean the strikers, the attackers, Miguel Almron's got a mean street. Okay,
Speaker 1: cool deck, somebody, let's see that when the game is
Speaker 1: getting away from you, to change that energy especially at home,
Speaker 1: because I mean, Bart, you could speak to this. When
Speaker 1: you get that hard foul from Atlanta where the game
Speaker 1: is kind of getting away from you, you get a
Speaker 1: reaction out of the crowd as Bart.
Speaker 8: No, I mean, I think you're right to an extent, Jason,
Speaker 8: is that it's standing up for yourself more than anything. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and making sure that, especially at home, you're using the
Speaker 8: fervor that the crowd can give you. No, it won't
Speaker 8: be the sixty eight thousand we had last week, but
Speaker 8: it looks like it'll be forty two to five.
Speaker 1: So those those people.
Speaker 8: Who are, you know, behind each goal on the sideline,
Speaker 8: some of them on the sidelines. They often go into
Speaker 8: the club level, but hey, sometimes they're fancy.
Speaker 1: I don't blame them. They have good food there. You know,
Speaker 1: those people down you gotta hit, You gotta hit the
Speaker 1: buffet occasionally. I don't blame them.
Speaker 8: I've been down there and it was hard to stay away.
Speaker 8: That is a that is a massive advantage that Landing
Speaker 8: United has.
Speaker 1: That look.
Speaker 8: Sorry for throwing a little bit of shade, but Charlotte,
Speaker 8: that was cute that you brought fifty three thousand or whatever.
Speaker 1: You couldn't sell after home. How many of them traveled
Speaker 1: up the freeway though, y'all weren't that loud.
Speaker 8: You had your cute little moment where you jump up
Speaker 8: and down before the goals were scored, and you sounded
Speaker 8: like nothing, and.
Speaker 1: You were relatively loud quiet the rest of the game.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 8: At Landa United definitely has that home advantage that not
Speaker 8: a whole lot of other teams can even create because
Speaker 8: you just don't have I mean, most of the time
Speaker 8: we have more than double what a team could have
Speaker 8: in their stadium. So it is important to not let
Speaker 8: a team like Red Bulls come in and try to
Speaker 8: be a bully because you have way more people behind
Speaker 8: you than they will.
Speaker 1: It's important to push buttons to I think even beyond
Speaker 1: the bullying side of it, like if you feel the
Speaker 1: game slipping a little, which it does, like these games
Speaker 1: more and more, and this is worldwide. This isn't an
Speaker 1: MLS thing. Momentum swings are everything. So when you feel
Speaker 1: that kind of sliding the other way on the field,
Speaker 1: if you're in an Atlanty knighted kit again, go in
Speaker 1: for a hard foul, go in and push that button
Speaker 1: that you know we're not getting bullied here, but man,
Speaker 1: I gotta stem this momentum swing that's going the Red
Speaker 1: Bulls way.
Speaker 3: Let me just go and clatter into somebody trying to
Speaker 3: win the ball back. Broadcast plans for Landy Knighted and
Speaker 3: Red Bulls Yep, yep.
Speaker 1: Six thirty pregame show gonna be Madison CRUI is gonna
Speaker 1: be Abe Gordon on that. We will have Garth Logerway
Speaker 1: in the booth with myself and my conti a little
Speaker 1: bit before seven o'clock. Also have Dallas Austin pay us
Speaker 1: a visit in the booth on the pregame show. Always cool.
Speaker 1: Talking about the sonic ID, which I've listened to a
Speaker 1: lot of them. Atlanta and Houston have the best two
Speaker 1: I've heard so far. Miami's is horrendous. Well, I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened with Miami. That thing. It's like like
Speaker 1: it should be on Chill Mix, you know, twenty five
Speaker 1: or something. What is happening Miami? I'm disappointed in you.
Speaker 1: San Francisco's kind of weird, but Houston's was good. Atlanta's
Speaker 1: was really good. You can hear from Dallas Austin on
Speaker 1: the pregame show tomorrow a little bit more about that
Speaker 1: kick off at seven forty, postgame after that, lots of stuff,
Speaker 1: and then tonight at Land United two. We're letting Jarrett
Speaker 1: in the booth, but grudgingly he'll be on the pregame.
Speaker 4: Pre game, it's halftime.
Speaker 1: It's still scary here. Anytime you're on a microphone. There
Speaker 1: are fears that I have that I cannot explain to you.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be you and Madison Cruise in pregame
Speaker 1: and halftime. We'll catch everybody. Post game. We'll have a
Speaker 1: postgame show that'll be recorded wherever you get your SDH podcasts.
Speaker 1: But you can listen to the game by going to
Speaker 1: Soccer down here dot net clicking listen. It's pretty self explanatory,
Speaker 1: or you can go on the Mixler app and listen
Speaker 1: live with our radio call of Atlanta United two and
Speaker 1: New York Red Bulls two. Very cool.
Speaker 3: Have a great to have a great call tonight, have
Speaker 3: a great call tomorrow, and I will catch up with
Speaker 3: you all, with you Jason on the flip side of things,
Speaker 3: and continue with your busy days are away from us here.
Speaker 1: Yes I'm not going to turn into a pumpkin, but
Speaker 1: I will say audios everybody audio Jason.
Speaker 3: Yes, so Jason and his massively busy day. We do
Speaker 3: have some reffing down here before we get out of here,
Speaker 3: Bart before.
Speaker 4: Is this, Are we gonna yell about Joe Dickerson or
Speaker 4: something else?
Speaker 1: Because I don't have to go, but I do have
Speaker 1: to turn into a pumpkin, Okay.
Speaker 4: So I just want to I just want to say
Speaker 4: that I get angry at Joe Dickerson's existence, mostly because
Speaker 4: Joe Dickerson. Like every time I get a like every
Speaker 4: time we get like a super controversial thing, I'm like,
Speaker 4: who was I was Joe Dickerson to this sera okay, cool, Yeah,
Speaker 4: you're doing that lineman thing where like I know your name.
Speaker 8: And it's not for the reason you want me to
Speaker 8: know the higher Marufo. In my opinion, I'm not might
Speaker 8: not be fair, but they both love to be a
Speaker 8: little bit more uh noticeable than the common referee.
Speaker 4: So I still get mad about the Tiago Almada thing
Speaker 4: where Almada bumped him and was suspended as he should
Speaker 4: have been according to the rule book. When Almada went
Speaker 4: like to yell at him, and instead of just walking
Speaker 4: off the field, he turned around and like basically, yeah,
Speaker 4: where he like went with Thiago and turned to talk
Speaker 4: to him and said, just dude, just just walk off man,
Speaker 4: just just walk away. Yes, and yeah, didn't Thiago made
Speaker 4: a very supid decision. This isn't too excuse Tiago Almada.
Speaker 4: He made an incredibly stupid decision, but I still get
Speaker 4: mad about that, where I'm like, dude, just just walk away.
Speaker 1: Diffuse Yes, yes, diffuse Uh so uh.
Speaker 3: The one piece news before we get out of here
Speaker 3: in reughing down here has to do with a Millwall keeper,
Speaker 3: Liam Roberts. He has been given an increased six match
Speaker 3: band by that Regulatory Commission upholding the FA's claim sent
Speaker 3: off for his spoul Fleet Manteta in the FA Cup.
Speaker 3: So it's an additional an increase six match band. So
Speaker 3: that's where we are with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I you can't argue that. I'm sorry mill Wall.
Speaker 8: It was ugly, it was dangerous and it was very
Speaker 8: much outside of the scope of what soccer should be
Speaker 8: played like, especially from a goalkeeper.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8: Also, Joe Rickerson did have his red card rescinded. I'm
Speaker 8: still shocked that. I'm shocked that they rescinded the red card.
Speaker 8: I think they should have given it to the dude
Speaker 8: from Houston as well.
Speaker 3: I think it's fair to qualchick should have absolutely gotten
Speaker 3: a red for his stomp that was out.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well that is absolutely true. I'm surprised that wasn't
