| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Allocation Disorder. I am Sam Staskel. He is Paul Tenorio, and Paul, I do not know what we did, man. But the soccer gods do not want us to record this show. |
| 0:31.2 | No. I am going to try to get my energy back up for the third attempt at recording the show. Yes, this is the |
| 0:39.5 | third try. We've never had this happen before. Paul almost cried after the second try. He's very |
| 0:46.5 | sleep deprived. He was very sad. Well, we were 48 minutes into it. On the brink of tears. We were |
| 0:53.5 | basically done. So we're going to have to re-record this thing. |
| 0:55.7 | Hopefully it's better. |
| 0:56.9 | Maybe we'll think of new things that we hadn't thought of before. |
| 0:59.4 | I'll definitely be what I think is more eloquent and probably isn't. |
| 1:06.4 | Yeah, probably. |
| 1:08.4 | You know, we've been talking a lot, so maybe we're a little drained. Maybe the vocal cords are a little text. Anyway, we're just going to get right into it. We've got a lot to talk about. It's been a while since we recorded together. Paul and Felipe Cardenas, our colleague from The Athletic, did an admiral job of filling in for me last week. Who carried the piano last week, by the way? Well, we know who |
| 1:29.5 | can carry the piano when the other one's missing because I got my episode out when you were on |
| 1:33.8 | vacation and you dropped the piano, dropped the ball, dropped the piano. It crushed me. Like a pancake. |
| 1:41.7 | This show completely falls apart when I'm gone, but at least we can keep it going when you're |
| 1:46.4 | whatever Matt Pence and I tried to record an episode we did record an episode but we had some |
| 1:51.4 | technical difficulties and so it was not released two weeks ago so apologies for that |
| 1:55.5 | Paul I think this is our first show in three weeks we are recording in the same state which is |
| 1:59.5 | maybe maybe why we're having |
| 2:01.2 | so many difficulties. This has never happened before. We're in America's dairyland. The milk |
| 2:06.8 | is clogging the pipes for the podcast. Jesus. Yeah. The third time's not the charm. It's not the charm. |
| 2:16.4 | Yeah, the universe can't handle two allocation disorder hosts being in the same state. |
| 2:21.6 | We're not even that close to each other. |
| 2:23.1 | We're still like four hours drive away from each other. |
