The new country, 963, second, second, second, second date update. We got Kendall on the line. She gave us a call because she went out with Abel, had a great first date. Unfortunately, there was no second date, and we're going to try to help out this morning. So first of all, Kendall, tell everybody how you met Abel. Yeah, so we both live in the village, and we met playing kickball, and we just started texting, chatting, and then we eventually decided to go to Cinco de Mayo Margarita Festival. Okay. Yeah, and we had a great time, and I haven't heard from them since. So I'm a little confused. Did anything go wrong on the date? I mean, you did go to Margarita Festival. Right. I mean, we were being, like, silly. We were a little, you know, drunk a little bit. But nothing like in vain. We were just having fun, I thought. Well, let's have us give Abel a call and see if we can figure out what's going on. Maybe get your second date, okay? Sounds good. Thank you.

And now we're giving people an inside look at the World Cup.

Time's ticking.

I think you can feel the intensity.

All the guys are wanting to really stake their claim, and they want to be on that World Cup roster.

There's no doubt about it.

Hosting the World Cup on the home soil comes with its pressures, but we're just really excited, just as the people are. The U.S. Soccer podcast, presented by Henko. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. So we've gotten a hold of Abel. He's agreed to come on the air with us. So Abel, do you remember going out with Kendall? Yeah, of course I remember it. Well, she called us and said you guys had a great time. I guess we went to like a sink-of-mile type of event, but she says she hasn't heard from you since and asked us to give you a call on her behalf. So she didn't tell you about the 10 three margaritas they were given out? No, she didn't say anything about that to us. No, she did say it was a margarita festival and you guys were all being silly.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, they were like everyone, they were little tasters, but everyone got 10 different small margaritas.

And I feel like maybe it was five too many for her.

It sounds like you're saying she had too much to drink. Is that where we're going with this?

That alone wouldn't have been a problem for me, but it was like her and her friend together,

the amount of photos being taken as opposed to just like being at the event was unbelievable.

Wait a minute, Abel, you're saying that she brought a friend on this date?

Yeah.

Her friend, influencer Barbie, had her just taking photos the whole time and like posing and it was excruciating. Okay. And because of all that, because of maybe someone had too much to drink and also just became an influencer type of event, that's why you didn't call her back? Yeah, it was, I couldn't stand it. Well, Kendall didn't say any of that. She just said you guys had a great time and she is on the other line. Can we bring her in on this conversation just to kind of hear her take of what would on? Because she didn't even mention she brought a friend. Sure. I would love to hear what her side of this. Okay. Kendall, are you there? Yeah, I'm here. Is it true? Did you bring a friend on the date? Yeah, but she, well, she has a name. Her name's Pepperment Patty. And she's like a... Wait, wait, her name is peppermint Patty? Yes, she's an influencer. So that's like her brand name. And she's a blogger and a tastemaker. And we were doing stuff for her business. So it wasn't like we were just taking photos for no reason.

We were helping her brand.

We were enjoying the festival.

The tastemaker thing is the most upsetting part about all of it.

Because I don't know what that means.

I don't know what that means.
