Welcome to Allocation Disorder. I am Sam Staskell, joined as always by Paul Tenorio.

Paul, how's it going tonight, man?

Living the dream, as always.

So shout out to my former colleague.

You're always living the dream.

My former colleague, James Wagner, used to say,

Living the Dream whenever you asked him how he was doing,

and it never ceased to annoy me.

And so it was like a little inside joke to myself there of James Wagner living the dream.

Inside jokes to yourself are the best ones, in my opinion.

I feel like that's what this podcast is for, you know?

I mean, you know, I make outside jokes and, you know, sometimes you pick them up.

Sometimes you pick up what I'm putting down.

Sometimes you don't.

And, you know, that's called being a good teammate and a bad teammate.

We learned that lesson last week.

Maybe we'll learn it again tonight.

We'll see.

You know, I'm coming off of a rousing game of Monopoly that I was playing earlier.

I feel like that has some weird parallels towards MLS and the entire system of American soccer. But, you know, that's a separate discussion, too. We're going to talk about a few different things tonight. I'll kind of lay out the table of contents for us. We're going to hit on the Red Bull situation. The club fired Chris Armis.

Last week, we did not talk about it on the show.

Last week, we dealt entirely with the Deloy Hanson and R.S.L.
