Welcome to Allocation Disorder.

I am Paul Tenorio, joined once again by my friend and colleague Sam St.

who is back from vacation, back from definitely listening to

allocation disorder while lying on a hammock in Hawaii.

Sam, how good was it to, I think I did like a quick video allocation disorder when

Gareth Bail was signed, and I'm sure that was the first thing that you tuned into upon getting

to the beach.

Yeah, definitely the first thing I did. No, Paul, I actually did not learn of the

Gareth Bail signing until Wednesday. We're recording here on Thursday afternoon.

That was the day I got back from vacation, and that was the day I plugged back in.

I was joking around with some people that it was, I think, the proudest accomplishment of my

entire career that that news did not break through my, the protective bubble that I had set up

around myself.

Sam, that's impressive.

I mean, I've unplugged before on vacations, but, you know, I've been tempted to go onto the internet, you know, like, there's, that's a whole different level of unplugging. Yeah, I mean, I changed my, my Twitter password, so I couldn't log back in without like going through like several different steps to something completely, I have no idea what I changed to do to this day. I had to re-change it again.

That was like the first thing I did.

So, yeah, it was a very restive trip, certainly, and definitely got away from soccer for a bit,

which was positive.

Although I did see from a pool side bar a few minutes of Philadelphia Union versus NYCFC on FS1, sitting next to,

in fact, a father and son who were wearing Philly Union hats. No shirts. They were just in bathing

suits, but they were wearing Philly Union hats. So I sprinted away from those people as quickly as possible.

I said, I'm on vacation.
