Speaker: Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to episode 83 of the Cooler Guild. I am Coop Cooper. Joined with me, as always, is my co-host, Van Crisp. Hello. We're recording on Tuesday, October 27th, 2026. On today's episode, we're going to go over the Reigns 0-0 result against the Utah Royals that was out.
Speaker: They played in Sandy, right? Yep. going go that game. It's a nail-nil draw, though, so... We'll dive into it as much as one can. But, you know, the last game's really got a lot on the line. But before we get into all of that, we've got some housekeeping to take care of.
Speaker: The Cooler Guild is a part of the Sounder at Heart podcast network. You can either listen to us on our public feed or, if you're a Sounder at Heart subscriber, on the private unified feed with the other podcasts on the network. If you'd like to become... upset feel like I've just been feeling lately. Yeah.
Speaker: Is it the
Speaker: feel like i've just been feeling off lately yeah is what is it the late sunset or the early sunset i mean that's not helping and i don't really know much about astrology and i don't really know much i buy into it but um i did go read that mercury is in restrograde right now Oh,
Speaker: just like everything kind of felt off but then i i read about mercury retro shade What is that? It's the period right before Mercury retrograde. And apparently it can be worse than Mercury in retrograde. So if you're ever like, I don't know. I don't know if it's also worse because we're in Scorpio season and we're Scorpio. So I don't know if things are like maybe a little more intense for us. Yeah, it could be. I don't know. But um that's my input for this part. um You have any interesting facts? It is weird. I was holding a purring kitten in my arms last night and just started crying. so Oh, okay. don't know what's going on with that. Scorpio season. Yeah. i don't know what's going on. just feels like everything's a little off. I mean, the election is also coming up and that's, ah I think, in the back of our minds of how fucked is this all going to be Yeah.
Speaker: So I, but at least Bailey got a kitten named Ponyo and she's adorable. That's cute. Ponyo. Yeah. She came, she came home yesterday.
Speaker: Cute. Very cute. Very calming for me. I really wish I could get another cat, but my dog's too nuts to do that. Kittens are so freaking cute though. She's so cute.
Speaker: And she does a little like sideways jump thing. Oh yeah. Like the kind of scary thing, but like when it's plain scary. Yeah. Yeah, love those. So cute. How's it doing with dog? Good. They met today for the first time. Fun.
Speaker: But we're keeping her, Ponyo, in the separate room. Yeah. A little adjustment time. Yeah. She's trying to do it right, which is great. Sure. Well, things that didn't necessarily go all right. ah Easy transition, I'm sure. um The rain played Utah.
Speaker: You know, it could have been worse. Yeah. guess ah For how threatening I think Utah i looked at times in this game. and don't know if I'm happy about this result, but It's so 50-50 because it's like the defense played great. They did. Dickey had a solid game like we've been wanting her to have, but that was a Yeah, that was like the scoring was and the Etsy witch streak is, is ah yeah, I think we're officially done with that. Two games now, i'm not scoring and and in situations where we really need it. Yeah. And it would have jumped us so much. Oh, man.
Speaker: But yeah, the defense did good. So i don't feel terrible. um do you have any general notes about this game before we dive into everything? Oh, well, going into the starting lineup, I mean, we had a big conversation last week about Miofficial.
Speaker: And Montessir started over Fischl. i don't think she looked terrible. No, I don't think so. And I think she really kind of blossomed in the second half a bit. Yeah, yeah. so I don't think it was bad. And she did about the same amount of production as Miofficial, so.
Speaker: Not saying much. And then Adames got the start. I've been wanting to see more from her. Yeah. And that was a little lackluster as well. Definitely. she gets really eager. and I don't mind that, but it's not, the balance isn't there.
Speaker: Right. Utah's a good team though, so it's not like, you know, it's not like this is of Chicago or anything. Exactly. It was going to be a tough game. Yeah. Either way. Yeah. I would have loved to see Adames against Chicago for a bit more, but... And Utah had a bit on the line too, so. Definitely. They did. They definitely did. Well, you pulled up a couple notable stats.
Speaker: From OptiJack, they said that 12 different rain players won a tackle in this match, equaling the most in a match for the club since Opti began tracking the data back in 2016.
Speaker: So that goes back to the defensive performance. Yeah, and everyone on the field doing it too. And after the match, Utah clinched its first playoffs in club history. That kind of shocked me, but then I like remember that they were gone for a bit.
Speaker: Yeah, and that it's Utah. And then it's a new team, quote unquote. Yeah. So it's kind of a weird, weird stat. They pointed out the broadcast, and I was like, what? It is odd. They were bad, though. But just as an iteration, how long they've been around. hmm.
Speaker: But yeah, they were real bad. hmm. Yeah. This season's kind of been so remarkable for them for the turnaround goes, I think. a Bit of an anomaly. Yeah. For them. Yeah. Let's just get into what worked for you in this. Not letting them score.
Speaker: The shutout. Like we talked about, Utah, since the start of the season, has been a surprisingly good team. They have some standout players. And I think that they did a really good job. The defense did a really good job of isolating Chloe Lacasse and not letting her get a lot of time on the ball. think she only got like eight passes or something.
Speaker: Yeah. It was very little impact from her, which is probably why they got a shutout. Yeah. um And there were, i noted three players here. We can add some on, but I think three players for me had really good games. And no surprise, the first one I mentioned is Sam Meza.
Speaker: Just solid. The best chance of the game came from Sam Meza. many tackles does she have in this game too? Because defensively, she's always just freaking workhorse. Yeah, her work rate and energy on the field is something else. Yeah.
Speaker: um I also mentioned Claudia Dickey. she She had two key saves in the match that kept the clean sheet. And her distribution was so on point this game and led to a lot of line breaks.
Speaker: Yeah, it's really a shame they couldn't get one of those to go in or like get a more threatening chance on those because, yeah, she kept she's always looking at the field. Mm hmm. And then Madison Curry, when she came on, I thought she added a lot of accuracy in her passing and just kind of a a so bit of stability back there.
Speaker: Yeah, Brown. I don't think Brown was having a bad game, but ah I mean... Curry was noticeably but noticeably better. Yeah, in this game. um And we should note that Ryan Brown and Jess Fishlock came out at halftime.
Speaker: I feel like Mondesir kind of took some of that responsibility maybe, and that's why she looked a little bit better in the second half. At least that's what I thought. Yes, Amasa had three tackles. I'm just pulling up stats now. Three tackles, three clearances, ah three interceptions, five recoveries.
Speaker: I mean, we could just go on and on about Sam Amasa.
Speaker: ah Yeah, I think your shout out for Curry is really good, too. I enjoyed her. I thought Phoebe had a really solid game, too. I'm looking at her heat map. It's also kind of nuts. ah I like that she's for No, for McClernand, for Phoebe. I feel like Phoebe is was kind of starting to adventure forward a little bit sometimes.
Speaker: Yeah. Maybe not a lot. saw her on that breakaway. I know.
Speaker: Interesting little tidbit to her game. I'm wondering if it's related to some of the news that we got today. Just feeling little more confident. But yeah I think the defense did a really good job back there. This wasn't this was not an easy task. Granted, Utah, I don't think has been in great form.
Speaker: But, you know, they they they did keep themselves in this playoff push. do you have anything else you want to add before I transition this? No. Okay. ah They did keep themselves in the playoffs push, but they also could have made the playoffs if they would have won this game. So if they could have eked out a single goal, ah they would have, you know, been able to maybe a little bit relax a little bit when they have this final home game. Maybe not totally because, I mean, there's... The rain? Yeah, the rain. But I don't know. That's just frustrating to me. Now we're just sitting here stressed out about what's going to happen the final game of the season. i mean, it's like really on brand, though.
Speaker: Don't tell me that. I don't. I mean, we are playing... we'll We'll save that. We'll save that. But yeah, i yeah it it is on brand for Reign. They keep having these scenarios in which like they could jump the standings or put themselves in a really comfortable position and they just can't do that. And ah yeah, it's continuing. So...
Speaker: Here we are. It's a whole thing. Sitting in eighth place. Just barely. Just barely. Barely. Yeah. Holding on by an absolute thread. With North Carolina on her asses and Ashley Sanchez still waiting to score her her goal. I know. So, yeah, there's a lot of pressure coming coming for us soon. There's a ton of pressure. Yeah. ah What didn't work for you also?
Speaker: Oh, Lord. The one shot on goal. was like, it was a not pretty. Yeah. I mean, the offense just looked dull. And the best chance of the game that I already mentioned was Sam Meza.
Speaker: And she created that chance all on her own. She won the ball in midfield, drove forward, and then hit a rocket that McGlynn saved. was a good save. So they need to get that figured out and they need to figure out a way to, I don't care if you patch it with a really shitty patch just for the next game and make it to the playoffs. Because I don't think that anyone is going to assume we're going to win a playoff match.
Speaker: I don't think anyone's putting money on us. But I would like to make it. That's my current feeling on it It's not a great situation. i don't feel... i mean, if if Mercado has a good game, then like we have a chance. But at this point, it's kind of like everything hinges on that.
Speaker: okay That feels unsettling. this I mean, the whole thing just didn't, I don't know. What else do we add to what didn't work? it was just boring. it I was bored.
Speaker: I was bored. and i rehat And I had to re-watch this game because I watched part of it on my phone while I was out. Okay, I watched it live. And it was, yeah, it was pretty boring. I was screaming at my TV a lot because I do feel like they had some, like, almost, like, they had they would have decent buildups.
Speaker: But then they found no way to, like, really shoot it. Yeah, there was that that opportunity where ah Mercado got into the box and was just kind of dribbling around. Nobody to find. I was like, ah who's there? Nobody. Cool. It's interesting when Just Fish Luck starts after having good games or we're like, I don't know. It's like, I guess we just get the first half for her and hope that maybe she just injects some magic into it early and then we can kind of take pressure for this next game was so much on the line i don't know what i'd rather see her come on and like sub on and then get some just fishlock magic that way was thinking about this i think the dream is get her on the field go up three zero by the sixtieth minute
Speaker: and give her Give her a standing ovation send off. Sure. i say sub her on, let her get the the, you know, the excitement building of her subbing on. And then when she scores the game winning goal, then we also get to celebrate that. But um i'll take I'll take that. Yeah. I'll take either of these scenarios. ah But like this game just kind of had me figuring out, trying to figure out what the best way to, you know, utilize her in this next game. Because I i don't, I didn't feel like this was maybe the best plan of attack.
Speaker: Well, but I don't also don't know if I have many options, but I did. I did think that Minty. I thought she looked pretty decent when she came in She's not good enough. Well, the next we're playing in Orlando. So and they're not very good. So that tends to work out pretty well for us sometimes. do you want anything else? No.
Speaker: Yeah. Post match presser notes. I don't. But there's a lovely article by Susie. Yeah. I just didn't get to this. I've got a lot going on. But I read through this. ah Great job, Zubaya Susie Rantz, on the Rain at Royals Highlight Stats and Quotes article on Ride of the Valkyries. um You can go through here, get a lot of the stats.
Speaker: So many things on here. So go check that out. But Laura pretty much talked about, same as you, that they worked hard. It's a tough place to play. You are a bit of elevation, you know? So but she's proud of the group for digging in.
Speaker: Can't fault the work rate. Just wish we'd shown a little bit more quality. um Talked about the halftime substitutions. Jess and Ryan had little niggles. She loves to say the word niggles. I don't like that word personally. I really don't think we should be. i think we've got a different word.
Speaker: Little injuries. It must be English. It definitely is, but I don't care. i don't like it. That they didn't want to risk. So that could also play into Jess's time next week. Sure. Or Sunday. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, just a lot of missing a little bit of quality. It's the theme of the rain for the past ah three seasons, at least. um And it doesn't seem like, I don't know i was really hoping we'd have Lynn back by now. Guess not. Guess we're not getting that. So that's disappointing.
Speaker: this this whole so This whole team, the way it's set up and the signings that we've chosen to make ah just continues to frustrate me um terms of that extra little bit of quality we need to kind of give me confidence in this team going into playoffs. If we even get there, because now we're really not sure if that's going to happen.
Speaker: yeah I don't, I mean, every spot is secured except for the one that we're sitting in And we lost to the team that's right behind us. Uh, what, two weeks ago? Yeah. It's like, God. Just digging ourselves a hole, really. know. I know. Which they were in a really bad hole. So they, i mean, they've gotten, they've given themselves a chance and that's, that feels good. But, um, definitely been some missed opportunities, I think, in this, uh, second half of the season. And, uh, I don't know I just, the team has been busting their asses, you know, so it's just frustrating to know that they're, they are kind of just this close and I want to see them get rewarded with that. And i hate that they didn't get like an extra edition, super valuable edition in the summer window. We still haven't seen our one new signing. We, we made. Yeah. ah Yeah. I'm just trying to focus on the season, but it kind of feels like it's a little difficult. Yeah.
Speaker: It is, especially with the, you know winner stay home game on Sunday. Yeah. And the one thing I'll mention from the player presser, which was McCammon and Dickie was McCammon talking about um going into decision day. She said, I think for us, at the end of the day, we know it's in our hands that we have to come out and win.
Speaker: I think that that game is really valuable, regardless what happens in the postseason, right, if they make it. i think if they can win that game on Sunday, that will do a lot for the mentality of this team going into next season because they haven't been able to kind of take advantage of these moments. So I maybe don't expect to make a huge playoff from it if they make it. But I do think a win just to get in, it it will do a lot for that from them from their mental mental game for next season.
Speaker: Yeah, I think it'll do a lot for the fans. That too, because it's going to be a big turnout. It's looking like it. they I will say the team tends to do pretty well when they get big turnout. So I think i think I'm feeling pretty, pretty OK about it.
Speaker: and just don't. I wish wish we could all be enjoying each other and like holding hands and like we're in the playoffs, but. Fighting for a different spot. Yeah. But we are where we are. but I guess we have a cooler player of the match, though, to still give, right?
Speaker: Cool.
Speaker: i mean could it could have gone to se me again yeah should should it go to same as this week No, she didn't score. Exactly. At this point, now there's a lot of pressure on Sembeza. And ah fortunately, she keeps making opportunities for herself to score. And until, yeah, we bo da she can get one. um But this week, because of the defensive effort, um who are we giving it to?
Speaker: Phoebe McLarton. Which is great, because guess what? Guess what? We get to see her for another three seasons. It's pretty rad. But yeah, I thought she had a great game. i think she kept the back line in order.
Speaker: There's not really another player in the league that I can think of that I'd want there other than maybe Sarah Gordon. But I think Phoebe is kind of a, just a ah gem.
Speaker: She really is great teammate. Yeah. A great, gets better every season. Seems to be a good teammate. Mm-hmm. loves the city, is great to the fans, and performs every game. So I'm i'm happy.
Speaker: i was going to add this in the other notes, but um so Phoebe was announced today that she signed a contract extension through the 2029 NWSL season. And she's one of our last holdouts.
Speaker: think there's like four more from bench players, but that was the players that were about to be going into free agency. Yeah, this is a key player to lock down for this team. I mean, you lose her, I don't know what the hell happens to this defense. Exactly. Because they're not going to spend money on Sarah Gordon. No. And I still don't think Sarah Gordon wants to leave L.A. No. I don't think that's going to happen ever.
Speaker: No, that suits her very well. I know. Unfortunately. Yeah, colors look nice on her. Anyways, congrats to Phoebe. We're happy to have you for many more years.
Speaker: And thanks again to our sponsor, The Doctor's Office. The Doctor's Office is the best place to grab a drink before or after a rain match. Go make an appointment today. And go also go check out their Instagram, TDO Seattle, or better yet, go drink there in person.
Speaker: Cheers. Cheers. Was there any other rain news? No. We talked about curry last week. Yeah. And then just double checking in.
Speaker: Did you want to talk about the GM survey a bit? Oh, yeah. I did want to talk about the GM survey. I didn't read a lot about it, to be honest, not yet at least. But I did see that Jordan Bug got a shout out on there. She was voted from the GM survey. there like an end of year thing that they do for this? There was a question of the next great player. guess it's not really question. it's like a statement that you fill it in at the end. The next great player in the NW cell will be dot, the dot. Choose who you want. ah But Jordan Bug got the most votes for that.
Speaker: And I gotta say, I agree. If not her, Sam Meza or Ainsley McCammon. They've got the list. Someone like screenshotted the list of the top. Was it 10 or so? Olivia Multure got one vote.
Speaker: Kat Raider is on there. But yeah, Jordan Bug is the top one. i think she's the only one from the rain. I am surprised Sam Meza wasn't also on that list. Because she's already a great player. that's the Yeah, I guess that's the thing. is like was there Was there an age thing? But Croy Bethune's on this list, so i just I'm not really sure how this was decided.
Speaker: I like that Jordan Buggs is getting the recognition. i see a fat contract coming for her soon that Therene will have to to dish out money for. and if they don't, I'm going to... steal her Yeah. Because we've got her for a while. We do That was a really good move. I will say some of the young players we sign have been very smart moves. It just, we don't have the balance there yet. So. And those were Laura Harvey's ideas and no one else's.
Speaker: Anyway, and there'll be some results this weekend. ah Four teams clinched this weekend. Portland clinched, Angel City clinched, Kansas City clinched, and then, of course, Utah.
Speaker: Chicago lost to Houston 3-1. To be fair, I did not watch any of these highlights because I was busy doing kitten things. Portland beat North Carolina. um was a brutal one one zero ashley sanchez you failed me uh yeah denver blew out louisville six to one i read somewhere that denver scored more goals this season than any was in any other nwsl demon history for like as like a inaugural season thing could be um but then maybe to not make the playoffs would be hilarious
Speaker: They had a really rough beginning the season, though. And then they've kind of been on a score. They've done really well scoring since the heaps kind of joined the team. So yeah there was like ah a pre-heaps and a post-heaps era. Yeah. And then they have had these games where they just like dominate the shit out of teams. Yeah. They just go off. But it's not consistent.
Speaker: No, it's not. Angel City beat Bay You got a Tiernan Davidson goal in this game. ah Or not Tiernan Davidson. Sorry. Riley Tiernan. Yeah. Scorpio season. Just kidding. Orlando lost to Gotham 2-1.
Speaker: So Lee Washington scored again. They're going to lock that down next week. There's the midge person. Tierna Davidson scored in the 62nd minute. KCB the Spirit.
Speaker: 2-1. Lula Bonta got a goal and DiBernardo got a goal for KC. And Corey Bethune assisted DiBernardo's goal. and that And with that assist, she broke the NWSL single season assist record with 11. I saw a lot of Washington fans upset about this game, but I also feel like I always see Washington fans upset about everything. Yeah. and think there's a correlation to the way their owner acts. Yeah. And the entitlement they feel they have. i was going use that word, but I didn't.
Speaker: I don't know. I mean, i didn't watch this game, but I just sometimes they really get sad and I'm just like, whatever, man. And then the last game of the weekend, San Diego tied Boston two to two. Ooh.
Speaker: I know. Well, I do want to talk about one thing and I don't know how much you saw this of what happened at the Portland game. Oh yeah. I saw this. Oh, well I saw that also the DOJ is fucking bullshit going on.
Speaker: So there were people that got into the Riveters section at the Portland home game wearing their whatever their weird anti-trans t-shirts are. Yeah, we definitely don't need to give them any more like clout for their names, whatever they use. I don't even know what they use.
Speaker: I don't. ah I don't know their identity, so I'm going to use they them. But they, yeah, they like went into the section and tried to like incite shit.
Speaker: And so the Portland fans and the Riveters, to all of their credit, just... put up flags and drown them out. And they get kicked out too. And the, the, yep. The people there to incite whatever they were there to incite to get their 10 seconds of fame got kicked out.
Speaker: Just so fucking like they're just losers. Yeah. It's loser behavior. Yeah. Um, so hopefully that's not going to make its way up here this weekend.
Speaker: I have questions. like Did they have a banner too? I think they had a sign or something. Yeah. i I mean, they could have easily have hidden it in someone's shirt or their jacket or something like that. But um I'd be curious about how that got in. And, you know, that's probably the reason they got kicked out if they want to be legal with it.
Speaker: Yeah, but I just don't. It's it's it's so unnecessary. and it it takes away from the performance of the players on the field when the conversation gets clouded by this nonsense.
Speaker: There's no trans players in this league. Not currently. No out trans players in this league. What the hell are you even talking about? yeah i mean they're all grifters yeah that's all it is uh yeah so it's the big orange grift yeah but infiltrating everything definitely shout out to the riveters for handling that uh mean swift in action with that because there's no place for that and then to be so nope not at all no um cool well that's actually not cool um uncool
Speaker: Very uncool unco response by the Portland fans. Let's move on to the Reigns' next and final regular season match, which will be at home. And it'll be the last home game of the season.
Speaker: Because we are not high enough in the playoff contention if we do make it to post a game. We'll be playing the Orlando Pride, who are not very good. It will be Sunday, November 1st, day after Halloween.
Speaker: o Ooh. It's at 2 p.m. It'll be on es it's on yeah espn and plus Yeah. Unfortunately, if you get, although hopefully no one from the NWSO listens, but the VPN for the end of, you know, you can get NWSO plus the VPN. Watch it there. um But also you could just go to the game.
Speaker: Which should? Because there's $10 tickets to try and give Jess Fishlock the ultimate sendoff in to hopefully the playoffs. But yeah, this will be Jess Fishlock's final game in Seattle.
Speaker: I don't know how to feel about that. It's pretty weird. i have been feeling kind of like a homebody now that winter's coming, but um there wasn't, I don't think, any scenario which I'm not going to try to come up for this, so I booked my train ticket and I'll be heading up for it. ah So if you're a Rain fan, you know who Jess Fishlock is. You know the legacy that she has made for this team. um So go get your tickets. Don't any excuses. Bring a friend. Tell your friends. Tickets are $10. Give some people some tickets if you can. um Get out there. i think There's a ton of ticket promos going on.
Speaker: And they keep expanding sections. So let's fill it up. I really hope the team also just comes out. They have to for Jess. What do you want to see in this game?
Speaker: I want to see someone finally make a statement on the pitch. Someone other than Mercado or Meza? She can do it. But a statement in a way that's like, that was the best player of the game and their effort changed everything.
Speaker: A noticeable impact player. And of course a win. Which I would like that because I want them to do what I was saying and kind of take this moment and don't rely on somebody else to...
Speaker: get your playoff spot. Cause like if everyone loses, that's below them, they're in but they need to start setting this precedent of, well, we'll just, we'll just do it ourselves. Yeah, I mean, it's going to be pretty much, if they win, there what it is they if they win they're in.
Speaker: We have Rainer at 44 points, North Carolina's at 42. So if north carolina if we lose and North Carolina wins, they're in. If we tie and North Carolina wins, North Carolina goes in on goal differential unless we score six goals.
Speaker: Which is not happening. We're not Denver. um Denver is sitting on 41 points. If they win and we lose, we're out because they are at plus 12 goal differential and we're at plus three. Yeah.
Speaker: So. Just win the game. Just win the like we just win the again goddamn game. Win the goddamn game. Orlando has, like, they're they're not, they have no chance getting the playoffs. They have been a good team. This season has been weird for them with coaching and they've gone through some changes. They have, but nothing they have they have nothing to lose.
Speaker: So I think they would love to come to Seattle and play. Spoiler. And I think they have the capability to do so offensively. I don't know about their defensive situation. um is there any, like, players or anything specifically that you think we need to look out for?
Speaker: I mean, there's always going to be the big ones, but lately, Not a lot. I mean, every game for them, it feels like somebody else, it feels like they're in a lot in the same kind of this thing that we're going through where it's like random players going to win the game for them.
Speaker: So I don't. I mean, Marta's still playing. Somehow. And Marta is good in Seattle. Marta is good Seattle. um I mean, other I already mentioned Sully Washington. Yeah.
Speaker: Her speed on the break is so quick and somebody's going to need to figure that out. Yeah, I wish we had Darlene. Yeah. oh That sucks.
Speaker: but They have to win this, though. I'm going to be really angry if people come out to this and the rain don't turn up for it. Yeah. But they they hit tend to do really well when they have these big crowds, so I'm feeling pretty confident. I think Laura Harvey will find the right people to figure something out. This last game was really uninspiring.
Speaker: It really was. Yeah. Yeah, sorry we don't have a whole lot going on here, but coming off a nil-nil draw. I'm excited for the Orlando game, though. I think it'll be a good turnout. It sounds like they've got a lot of activities planned in the stadium.
Speaker: um Like we said, there's bunch of ticket promos going on. so if you want some merch with your ticket, you can get that. Just come to the game. Yeah, it should be nice fall day. it looked like the When I looked earlier, it looked like the weather was going to pull out for it. And if not, you have raincoats. Yeah.
Speaker: This is Seattle. Exactly. And I don't, yeah, I don't think Orlando likes the cold. So if there's a little, little chill in the air, if you will. think Seattle, I think Seattle's definitely obviously got the edge in this, but ah man, if they don't win this, I'm, ooh boy. Yeah.
Speaker: But. I'm going to be positive about this. We're in a situation that's kind of fun, at least. Yeah. It's what you want. Just wish it was more comfortable. You have any shout outs for the week? I wanted to shout out. I saw this on Instagram. Veronica Latsko ran her first marathon, the Santa Cruz Marathon.
Speaker: I could never run a marathon. So shout out to Veronica Latsko. miss you. Where are You're so fun to watch. Yeah, that's pretty cool. i and she's ah She said on her new Achilles.
