From an outsider, obviously, we're going to talk about the biggest stories happening in the world of soccer, but I do want to know... from an outsider right now in the last two years since we last talked to you how do you how is your perception of mos she how are you looking at it right now connor in the because now because almost has changed a lot since in the last two years um obviously
yeah he's in the league we have the game is getting shown only on apple tv like as an app like i i do have a uh i mean now apple tv is uh the home for f for uh for f1 which i know you're big into and you don't have to and there's no additional cost for mos season pass right so if you have apple tv you can watch that does that mean that a lot of people are going to that no because it is it is a failure and there's i mean we've mentioned already that there's rumors that uh larry berg the new gm
or the the new uh the the new commissioner is is going to throw out the apple deal um but yeah what do you think what are you seeing from the out from an outsider's perspective on the league connor
Um, I mean, yeah, it's definitely a more exciting time to be an MLS fan now, I think, than it was probably two or three years ago, the last time that we spoke and I probably ripped on MLS and all products that came out of that league that were with the national team that we were talking about.
Um, But I mean, yeah, like when you have Lionel Messi putting up, I mean, literally, if you go and look at the stats, Ballon d'Or level numbers, granted, he's doing it in MLS, so he won't be in that conversation.
But still, for him to be putting up these kind of numbers at 39 years old, I think is something that is an absolute joy
I won't tell you that I watch that many MLS games right now, except when I explicitly have to as part of my work.
So I definitely see some more of the rotation in those US Open Cup games, because obviously US Open Cup is a Paramount Plus property.
So I Like tomorrow in the morning footy show that I'm working on, we're running a promo for the Columbus versus St. Louis City matchup coming up in the U.S. Open Cup final.
Yes, big final coming up for Columbus trying to save their season for that game.
Are there any other storylines that you were surprised to hear about? Oh, that was happening.
There was a coming together with DePaul and Lewandowski where Rodrigo DePaul apparently said to Lewandowski on the field, like, what have you done to the game? What have you won? I'm a world champion.
Yeah, any thoughts on that? So we had stuff like that, and Nowandowski, obviously, he is gaming.
that? On that particular incident? No, not many thoughts because that's just the heat of the moment.
