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

Paul, what is going on today, man? This is our last show together for a while because I'm going on

vacation immediately after this podcast, basically. So is our last show together for a while because I'm going on vacation immediately

after this podcast, basically. So, you know, I guess we got to savor this one. You're going to be,

you're going to be carrying the piano next week. I'm excited for that personally. I'm glad you're

getting away, Sam. You deserve a, you deserve a break. You deserve a little rest and relaxation. You deserve time away

from me, most importantly. And, you know, I hope that you get some sun and a little bit of

a mental break from the lovely American soccer world that consumes us. I can tell you one thing.

I'm not going to be watching MLS Live from a hammock.

I'll tell you that.

Well, that is not...

Obviously not, because MLS Live doesn't exist anymore.

You'll be watching ESPN Plus from a hammock.

Ah, yeah, that's a good catch.

And you copy.

So there you go. Semantics. i'll be watching ESPN plus from

a hammock um speaking of i guess that's a that's a weird natural segue into our first segment or

our first topic of today's show which is kind of an extension of last week's show which is additional

sort of reflections now that we've had some more time

to sort of digest and talk to people and let the dust settle on the MLS and Apple TV deal.

Obviously, anyone that listened to the show last week will know the broad strokes of what we

are talking about. And I think last week, Paul, we both had a pretty positive tone overall, for the most part.
