Hello, hello and welcome to the Total Soccer show.

My name is Taylor Rockwell.

And with me today is a gentleman who always lets me drink water regardless of the training session.

It's Felipe Garthin House of the Athletic.

Felipe, thank you for being here.

Oh, Taylor.

What's up, man?

Happy to be back.

Yeah, man.

I know you've done a lot of media appearances. I'm assuming all of them will reference hydration or drinking water at some point. Where are you in the Media Blitz tour right now? Just, I mean, just, I think I'm just getting started. I mean, it's been a busy week. It's been a busy month for me personally, but it's been very productive.

You know, I'm always happy to talk about soccer.

I can probably do it all day nonstop.

So, but no, I was on Grant Walls pod yesterday.

That was good.

That was really fun.

Doing years now, I'll be on extra time later this afternoon.

I'll probably jump on the Five Stripes final, the Dirty South soccer podcast.

Those guys are fun, Joe Patrick and Sam Jones.

And I don't know, whatever else comes up.

I'm trying to just manage.

All right.

Well, I appreciate you taking the time to chat with me and catch our listeners up on everything that's been going on because we've been talking to you about the Copa. We talked a little bit about Mexico and the Gold Cup. And yet you have been covering Atlanta. And this has been a big story. Can you take us through a sort of abbreviated timeline of things from Joseph not playing to the situation as it stands now?
