Hello Sunshine, I'm Alexi Lawless and welcome to the State of the Union podcast.

When we look at the beautiful game on and off the field through the lens of red, white, and blue-colored glasses,

this episode we'll be talking the Earth's Effect, the Wild Bunch, Pep versus Clop, Geo, Tyler's

Hammy, Spain's Tears, the U.S. men's national team identity, El Salvador's future, and so much more.

But first joining me, as always, my friend, my colleague,

my guiding light.

David Massey, a soccer savant,

and a fox soccer researcher and writer.

Extraordinary!

Mossy, how are you doing on this Wednesday March 29th on the year

2023. I am doing well we are the NYCFC of podcast we are

friend we have yet another new home yes for those that are watching I'm not sure

you'll you'll notice the difference from an audio perspective but for those that are

watching we are in a new home we call this 1440 because it's our satellite Fox studio. It has been for years.

Many of us that have worked in soccer and other sports, but a lot of soccer has ultimately come out of here.

So this is a return of sorts.

And I gotta tell you, Massey, this is a temporary situation

until our incredible new digital studios

are already back on the the Fox lot but the men and women that we have working at digital

Have done an incredible job because they did not miss a beat this looks great. It it sounds great, it feels great, and I would expect nothing

less but still compliments to everybody and all the hard work that they did to turn this around

really quickly.
