Welcome to Allocation Disorder. I am Sam Staskell. He is Paul Tenorio, and I am fired up right now, and I don't really know why, but I am fired up. Paul, do we have a sponsor tonight? I don't even know. We're sponsored by the Republic ad agency. It's an ad agency that I used to work for once upon a time for all of your branding and rebranding and re-rebranding needs. Call them up.

Anyway, we'll get to that later in the show.

Paul, how are you?

Sorry, I came out like a like a canon right there.

Well, yeah, I mean, I was talking to you before we hit record, so I know why you're fired up.

I know that you're fired up.

And I'm doing okay. I'm tired. I'm taking small sips of a nice bourbon, and I'm going to try to match your energy. I think it's going to be tough, to be honest. I'm a little worried. I'll peter out quickly. I will peter out quickly. Don't you worry. For those listening at home, Paul just started that bourbon. So if you hear him slurring his speech, it's because he's very, very tired. I woke up this morning to start working at 5 a.m. And I'm still going. And it's 8 p.m. So here we go. Oh, it's 9 p.m. on the East Coast ball. So, you know, you can call it 9 p.m. No one would know the difference.

No one would. This isn't a live show.

Yet. The point is, anyway, the sooner would done with this, the sooner I get to bed, Sam.

So on that note, are you guys all fired up? So let's move it along. We have a lot to get to this show.

Last week, we obviously hung out with our man, Felipe, talked about his Atlanta story and the Columbus situation, which there is an update to, as I'm sure those of you listening now.

We'll get to that one later in the show.

But we neglected last week the MLSP salary dump, the data, the stuff that we make a lot

of our judgments of rosters off of.

We didn't get it in 2020 because of the pandemic, I guess.

I don't know.

That was weird, that whole reasoning.

But we didn't get it in 2020. We do have it now for 2021. So all of the info for what MLS players make and how much different teams spend on salary is out there in the world. This is, you know, this is bread and butter for allocation disorder. This is, this is, this is dunkeroo's dipped in chocolate, you know, this is our thing.

And so we're going to spend a lot of time on it. We're going to break it down.

Paul, we wrote an article on it last week. We're going to dive into the nitty-gritty of best,

worst for players, for rosters. But any broad kind of takes from you on the info that was released?

Well, I think there's just kind of the obvious things that exist every year during
