Hello, Sunsho. Hello Sunshine I'm Alexi Lallis 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. Joining me as always, my friend, my colleague,

my guiding light, David Mossi, a soccer savant

and a fox soccer researcher, researcher,

researcher and writer, extraordinary!

Mossi, how you doing on this Friday, July 21st in the year

2023, at least where we are here in Sydney?

I am doing well.

You know, cleaned up, Massey lasts for about the first two pods during these

World Cups and then you start to see the unshaven look and the fatigue starts to

sit in. I mean listen we just got we just took the studio over from Jimmy

Conrad in company and you know they're all dressed up and they're looking good

and you know we come on and I I did one game today and then I went home and I tried so hard to stay up but there was a point where I did not out so I'm still getting over over the jet lag here

listen what we'd like to do with these daily shows after the games is give you just a very brief,

we're not going to go crazy into the weeds type of synopsis of what happened on and off the field,

some of the stories that are going on, and of course a peak into this world

a peak into this world that is broadcasting a World Cup

from a Fox perspective,

whether it's in front of the camera

or behind the camera and in front of the

camera I guess it would be when it comes when it comes to David Mossy are you
