Hello, Sunshon Hello Sunshine, I'm Alexi Lollis and welcome to the State of the Union podcast where we look at the beautiful game on and off the field through the

lens of red white and blue colored glasses. This show will be talking Pulisic through the

red white and blue colored glasses. This show will be talking

Pulisic, Wright, Sergeant Anchalati, the Rayna's,

Beach Stadiums, Arsenal's decline,

Liverpool's ascent, Wolverines, Atlanta, Scorsese, and so much more.

As always, my friend, my colleague, my guiding light, David Monsieur Soccer

Savant, and a Fox soccer researcher and writer extraordinary.

Mossy, how are you doing on this Tuesday, January 2nd in the year 2024, happy new year my friend how you doing I'm doing well and I'm still here I know you

sat a tweet this morning that some interpreted as me no longer being on this podcast. Well, I was just trying to celebrate in social media form

that we are starting our seventh year of the State of the Union and to thank everybody including you my friend my

colleague as I say my guiding light for you know being part of this crazy ride it's

the tent has gotten bigger over the years.

And yeah, maybe I didn't word it correctly,

so there were already some people that were worried.

You were moving on.

Rest assured David Mossy will continue to thankfully be a part and let's be on it

many ways the best part of the State of the Union. So let's get right to it my friend.

How are you feeling on like I said said, this January 2nd, yesterday your Wolverines came through.

It was touch and go there for a little bit, but you are going to the championship game.

You are, and now, again, you take it for what it's worth but social media has informed me and educated me that you are now the

the Rose Bowl champions even even though you still have another game to play.
