[laughs]

So, like, right off the bat, just, just some wins goes a long way.

But, like, in every phase of the game, I think there were far more positives than there were negatives.

I think you look back to the first game, the first team plays, a ton of it's under center.

I, I think the experimental nature of it probably could've been talked about more on, on our part.

The fact that, you know, there, there are changes that they're trying to implement to be able to salt out a game in a four-minute drill.

It's something that came up when that game ended in the locker room, that, that Zac Taylor spoke to the team about.

Yeah

Mm.

And when I think back where we lived in Maine and that experience, it was beautiful, but we needed...

There...

It's like I wasn't fully happy there due to variety of circumstances, and for us to go to Miami, uh, it created an aliveness in Kate and I.

Even though I was really sick, when I was really sick, Kate became really alive with all of her friends and social hangouts, and just being in Miami it was, there was an aliveness that took place, but the only reason that happened is f- I don't know if we would've ever made the decision to like, "We're moving to Miami," but it was my body kinda shutting down to force us to go, and l- we listened to it, to follow.

Um-

[laughs]

And then how many, you know, Bonehead Mike, when are you gonna pay attention, right? So-For me, it was just like these...

[laughs]

... like everyone else down here, it's, th- going on a trip is v- wildly expensive to go do this.

So one option that we were saying, okay, for us to go, but also be able to open up more a- affordable rental places for people to go, and that's more cost affordable for the summer for people.

And so that's what we looked at, and when I took this project on, the woman that sold it, her name is Barbara, who I now have met a lot of our neighbors who still talk to Barbara, and she's a Zumba teacher in Maine, and so they take her Zumba class.

But that house became too much for her to manage, and so she actually sold the house to us and then got a nice little one-bedroom condo overlooking the water in Freeport.

Uh, and so she was much, much happier.

I talked to the neighbor.

Cost basis, meaning that's what we paid for it.

And I think maybe that pressure starts to add up to some of these younger players.

Yeah, probably.

And I think if you look at not only like you, you talked about the adaptation MLS and that's every league in the U S every coach is going to say the travels different.

The, the pitches are different.

The the like weather from place to place, especially early in the year, Timo Werner is one of the most experienced players that San Jose to go back to that could have had.

And he's sitting there going, okay, well, It's going to be this temperature in Philly.

It was, like, below freezing.

Any issues with players doing that?

What do you think about guys stepping into this lineup and still the results keep coming?

Yeah.

I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that I don't call will James at any point, because I know that's been a, like a running theme apparently from, from what I've seen online.

But yeah, when you acquire will sands, you're coming off an ACL tear the year prior, you flip him for a guy that was like a quintessential Bruce gets the best out of them guy into one Jones.

Like, he's grown up this year in a major way.

He's gotten more opportunity than he's ever gotten before.

With Ethan, it's really interesting because...

And when I look at Ethan right now, he has the highest pass score completion of the new england revolution so it's obviously that he took those things to heart and he's still only 20 years old so i think his ability to be on the ball and advance the ball has been a positive for the revs let's look at philadelphia what a different season what a different story for them bottom of the eastern conference what is going on with this club

Yeah.

So we looked into different homes around the environment in around Yarmouth.

First we researched that house and then we went in there and looked at what the possibilities were.

We went under contract.

Neither one of us actually set foot into it.

And then during the inspection, I flew up there to actually look at the house.

Because during the inspection time you can always pull out if you want to if you find something that's on the inspection is incorrect, or something you don't wanna deal with, you could always leave.
