We've got MLS arrivals and departures. We've got new coaches in the league. Here with me to discuss all that and much, much more, is Mr. Joe Lowry. Hello, Joe. Hello, Taylor. Let's talk

MLS, baby. Let's do it. And Mr. West Coast himself, uh, recording from an attic and a beanie. I don't know if they have heat there. David Goss, how you doing? Who needs heat when you've got love and passion? That was so disingenuous. I almost don't know what to do with it. Goss is recording, I think in a house where other people are sleeping. So I'm really excited to see if we get

energetic goss halfway through this episode or if we get NPR Goss for most of the show. At this point, it's already like the afternoon, you know, because in West Coast, people like wake up early and go to sleep early and eat avocado and stuff. So like it's pretty much like 4 p.m. in New York here. Did they force feed you

avocados upon your entrance into the state of California? That's what happens to me. So I just want to

in his life. I was trying to show you my beanie, which says New York State of, or Empire, New York

State of Mine or something like that. I just like people to know. They didn't want to go full

copyright infringement? I could. I can't read it, honestly, myself. I just like for people to know

at all times that I'm from New York, just in case they forget.

Well, that's good. I'm glad that you were able to continuously remind people of that fact.

I'm sure everyone loves it. Gosh, it is good to have you here. It's nice to have you here in the year 2024. Any resolutions to get to? No, great. Okay, let's keep going. Let's talk about the

US 70 roster. We've got our January camp to discuss a lot of MLS names. Is it entirely MLS, Joe?

See? There we go. And you wisely pointed out before we started recording, it's a lot of names who we may well be seeing at the Olympics.

Yes, it is a not entirely U23 squad, but there are a lot of U23

names. A lot of folks that I watched when Marco Mitrovich's U23 U.S. squad was out here in

Phoenix. That was maybe in November, but a lot of younger MLS names that probably haven't
