Alright everybody, welcome back Sam's Army episode 2.197 and boy oh boy, we gotta let's talk about it. And I do mean it this time. Headlines, we're gonna hit Marsh, Jesse, you guys might have heard of him, man city and earthquakes, weekly what if Ronnie versus messy off the field, kind of.

Primarily, we got a transfer roundup and title race status update, rest of the world, a couple of US men's national teams shout outs, and then core stoppage time with Ivan Tony's best bets.

And everybody's favorite segment, Gois. Now finally, stay tuned after all that, we got a quick chat with good friend of the program, Kellyn Rowe, who was fresh. And I do mean like literally right fresh off of an intercontinental flight from Morocco, where the sounders were the first MLS team to compete in the people world.

Club World Cup. So stay tuned for that. Now it is time to welcome in these beauties here with me this week. First up, we got Mitchell Goulet, AKA overtime Mitch. So Mitch on a scale of, you know, bed ridden to dunking basketballs, where is your knee on the heeled on meter.

Oh, good question this week. I'll give it a four right now, saw the doc this morning, and she said no between the legs, we can go off to, we can jump off one, but no like around the backs or nothing off the backboard or anything.

So we're working our way back. In all seriousness, I'm three months post off and we're feeling good, getting stronger every day. I'll be back out there kicking ass in no time.

I'll get on 12 year olds within, let's say, five, six months. Yeah, easy. Okay. Nice. That's a good timeline.

Tyler Terrence, looking dapper as always, your question is again about the teen angst soccer novel that is in the works. I'm absolutely fascinated by this. I'm not going to make you give everything away, but I'm going to maybe sort of dink and dunk and get some things here and there.

And also sort of raise the profile with our listeners. So your question, is there going to be any sex scenes?

You know, it's funny that you asked me this because I flew out to Palm Springs this past weekend for a little guy trip and I was, I was editing it on the, on the plane, like I have like 45 pages down and every time I go to sit down to it, I just end up doing a lot of editing as opposed to writing and like I was thinking about what's going to come next.

And he does have a crush on a girl named Rachel Johnson and Tommy Brewster does. And here they are like 16, 17 years old, like through to the matter is it's like they're very well could be some some dirty shit going on at Scottwood high school.

But like is that the type of novel that we're going for are soccer moms all across America going to want to buy that for their kid come Christmas time in 2027. I don't know. I still need to make that decision. I am debating between the good and the evil in my head.

People usually always wins, but since this is a business and an monetary decision, I'm probably going to leave the sex scenes out maybe maybe a passionate kiss or two.

You know, maybe that gets interrupted by Tommy's best friend Joey, you know, the class clown classic guy, you know, big time lacrosse goalkeeper who comes off the bench during Socrates season really doesn't get a lot of burn, but Tommy and Joey have been best friends since like second grade, they've had to have kept out of the same classroom since second grade, but anyway, yeah, you didn't ask for all that.

Yeah, maybe that happened. Maybe you got to put out two different versions have a have a g a PG rated and then a Sam Sam's army after dark.

After dark version for novel.

Listen, I like this idea that you can get a lot of different markets there.

Okay, I love it. I love this T next novel. I can't wait to read it. Let's head to headlines.

So less than one week after he leads United States of America was born brought into, you know, the world.

It was suddenly an unceremoniously killed or at least, you know, significantly altered as Jesse Marsh was let go after a zero one loss to notting him forest.

So Tyler, I know you were in your fields about this. So let's let's start with you. You know what what what what thought you got for us on this.

Sad, disappointed, confused.
