In segment one, Chris Whittingham and I will break down the soccer news.

We'll have my interview with Kelsey Trainor in segment two.

Let's bring in Whitty.

How are you, my friend?

I, uh, for a moment, was possessed to almost join you in your hay there and welcome the

football with Grant Wall.

But then I decided that I didn't want to interrupt you.

But like one of these times, you're going to do the countdown into the show and I will

join you in shouting, hey there, welcome the foot like I for the moment was going to

do it, but I decided against it.

Please do it at some point, I'll probably when you're when you're when you're least

expecting it.

I'll probably be surprised and thrown off my game, but like, yeah, please do it.

There's so much happening in the soccer world, Chris.
