At home.

We're

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
at BMO, which is great.

Kickoff is at seven 30.

If you can't make it to the game,
it'll be on nobody's favorite CBS

Sport Network apparently a very
cool fan, dual sports network.

Sometimes it's included in a plan.

I don't know how it works.

We tried to figure it out and you
had to pay for it, and I was like,

I already pay for this other shit.

So even I were streaming on NWSL.

but I've heard with the FanDuel
Sports Network, you get all the Angel

City commercials and the good stuff.

It's still local broadcast, apparently.

We'll also be on iHeartRadio with
Isaac and Tracy, and then KFWB nine

80 am for the Spanish broadcast.

It's also Toy Night.

It's very exciting.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: It is 29 and we
don't have any more information than what

is on their website, which is so it is.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
release a video today with like

Japanese superstar Trio, June Hannah
and MBI playing with Tamagotchis,

and I was very excited about it.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: so yes,
it's Toy Night presented by Bandai

Namco, which Bandai Namco is one
of the sponsors at the stadium.

and, we had the special Tamagotchi, the
Angel City Tamagotchis Don't expect,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
out to show autographed

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: ooh.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: by

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: By who?

Oh yeah, that's right.

That's right.

They were there.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
at it right now across the room.

It's just shiny in a little curio cabinet.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: don't I don't
know if there's going to be a general

giveaway or what Toy Night means.

They, I haven't seen anything yet.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: No idea.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: I know people
were asking me, 'cause we did a raffle

at the, At the watch party, I raffled off
four tickets to the match, on the 21st.

And as I was just saying it's
the next home match, blah,

blah, blah, it's toy night.

What does that mean?

I have no clue.

Don't ask me.

It just says it's toy night.

So there might be something cool.

Usually something gets announced
tomorrow when this episode goes live or.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Expectations.

This goes live at 8:00 AM
Wednesday morning and 47

announcements get made 8 0 2,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: boom.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
but there are two other things

which are happening that night.

Again, might be a little
too late for these.

We might, should, if we have, if
we know about these things, we'll

try to talk about them earlier,
but they don't quite make sense in

the order of the way we do things.

But, Sal's Hu Lunch, which
is a, great organization.

Have a, they're doing their,
I believe it's their second

Salvadorian Heritage Night.

they were doing a special ticket
giveaway, with, I believe there

was a shirt, and then they're
also doing a bandana giveaway.

It's one of those special ticket.

things, so it's not going to
be given away to everybody.

It's like if you bought the ticket,
you can go get the giveaway.

check them out, check
out their, Instagram.

They might still have, tickets
and ticket packs to buy.

I believe the shirts
are no longer available.

'cause those, they were.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
the bandana.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: They were
custom ordering, a certain number

of them, whoever ordered, but the
bandana might still be available.

Don't quote me on that.

Go check it out yourself.

And then there was also a mini
tote bag, that was being given out.

As part of another ticket pack straight
from Angel City and season ticket holders

were given the opportunity to buy one
also, me knowing I wasn't gonna be at

the game, I didn't end up buying one.

And also, do I need another tote bag and

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: No, and

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
a mini one at that point?

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
like I don't, and it like it is just

white with a little baby logo on it.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: an
all over pattern or something like

that, I would've thought about it, but

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
So it is what it is.

Those are the things going on.

the match on Thursday against Orlando.

and everything's been crazy the last week.

we have a couple of chaos awards.

Yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: NWSL,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah,
there's a couple of Chaos awards.

the first one really was just
weather delays everywhere.

there was a one, there was an hour
weather delay in the Gotham Match, right?

and then the other one was Orlando.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

So Orlando and Kansas City,
were playing in Kansas City.

The heat index, the wet bulb index thing
that like nobody understands, but they

always talk about was at 94 degrees.

So like with humidity, it was
roughly the temperature of the sun.

And then on top of that.

It would drop or go back
up, drop, go back up.

So like the teams would start warming up,
they'd stop, start, stop, start, stop.

Like for three hours
or something like that.

folks who were at the game were
initially told there wasn't

gonna be reentry if you left.

And then two hours into it
they're like, just kidding.

Yes.

Reentry.

what?

There needs to be option
than day games in August.

Like middle of the day games.

'cause that game's kickoff I think
was like, it was supposed to be like

one 30 Pacific or something like that,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Yeah, there's a reason people

like playing under the lights.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
nighttime exists

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
gimme a 9:00 AM match, gimme like a

early before the heat kicks in match.

I don't care, either do
it early or do it late.

Don't.

Why are we scheduling middle of the
day shit in the middle of summer with

a planet that keeps getting warmer?

hello?

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

Yeah.

Which is

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
not a scientist, but this level

of science is not difficult

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: a little bit
of an argument for the winter schedule

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: or

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
soccer, but, or, yeah, just.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: just

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Evening matches.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
middle of

Especially in Missouri, I don't
know if you've ever experienced

Midwest Summer it's ass.

It's hot, it's humid.

Half the time it's raining and
there's bugs and it's hot, and

it gets hotter and more humid and
then it rains and it's just bad.

Like today, it's Tuesday.

My friends in Indiana and Ohio are texting
our group texts, yeah, I drove home in,

torrential and, flash flooding today.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Oh, geez,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
that's cool.

Yeah.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: I've only
been once and I was in Philly during

the summer and I did not expect.

I did not expect what was there.

I didn't know what to expect.

And so that was my own fault.

so I was walking around in some dark ass
jeans and also because I was there for

a conference, so I was like, it was like
my nice jeans and then I was like walking

around the city and is just so humid.

So hot.

Everybody's out in like shorts with
the water fountains going off and stuff

like that, and playing in the water.

And I'm just walking around
trying to get to like a museum and

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
play in the water.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: dude,
and then I got to, I went to go see

a baseball game, but I was staying
at my brother's and his wife's

place that they had in Philly for
a little bit, no air conditioning.

So I literally just I
was like in my shorts,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
sweater like sweatier.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: was.

In my shorts and the best thing
I can do was just lay on the hard

floor and try to nap a little bit.

'cause that's the coolest place.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: because
at night it's so hot you can't sleep.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: no,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Did not work.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
why I live out here.

Does it cost more?

Yes.

I have to deal with that?

Not yet.

Not yet.

Thank goodness.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: One of
the other chaos awards that we have

is Chicago, on their fourth coach
No letting go of their fourth coach.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: no.

L

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
On their fourth court.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: their,
they've, know if they're start, I don't

remember if they're, he's starting
next season or, yes, he's starting next

season, but his assistant coach is coming
to coach for the rest of the season.

But the interim is like a, just,
there's Chicago's going through it,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
lots of coaches, lots of

changes at Chicago and it's.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Chicago also had the best.

And most like beautiful
part of this chaos award.

So they're

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yes.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
whatchamacallit.

Who'd they play?

Seattle.

They played Seattle.

Seattle goes up three goals zero in
the first half, somehow some way.

Oh.

And then, Chicago goes down.

Two players, two players get hurt.

And so they have subs come in.

It's just one of those games where
it's like, what can go wrong?

Will go wrong?

And then they score.

Chicago does, it's three one,
and then they score again.

It's three, two.

You're in the 90th, you're
at the death essentially.

There's a corner bring Alyssa there
From goal all the way over to the other

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: you gotta do
the hail Mary, like you, we gotta give

walk away with a point with this one.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Coroner comes in, bounces around.

Claudia Dickey blocks the shot,
but doesn't like, stop the ball.

Like she doesn't grab it.

She just deflects it.

So the ball still at like live around.

Boom, boom.

Ends up at Alyssa.

Listen NA's feet and she scores her first
NWSL goal in her 200th cap like her.

Her very first NWSL goal in her 200th
cap as like world's best keeper.

This is her first goal outside of a pk.

It's just, I just love it.

this is the shit that I love.

So then she equalizes also, like

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

Yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
she equalizes the game.

They walk away with a point
like, just, it's so good.

That's the

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: That's, no, and
that's the point where like a lot of times

we've been in a couple of these games in
the last couple years where we're like.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Bell Bixby, I'm still looking at you

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Oh, yeah, that one.

I was gonna say in on our end where
we're like, Hey, either we're losing

or we've completely lost the game.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: it.

Yeah.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

You put a body on it and
why isn't deedee up there?

why do we not have an
extra person in there?

what are we gonna do?

Lose more, like we can't, come on.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Because if we can, we will.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

technically I guess you can if like the
gold differential, but then at that point

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
who gives a shit?

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: gold
differential's never been our friend,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
There's gonna come a time when Angel

City has the best record in the league
in a negative 15 goal differential.

I don't know how, but I feel
like that's gonna happen.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: oh man.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Anyway,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: all let's.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
tomorrow or Thursday.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Jesus.

All right.

let's check in with the scores around
the league, Washington drew with,

racing Louisville, Utah, and us.

We'll talk about it.

It was a draw,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Woo.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Kansas and Orlando.

after all those delays and
everything, it ended up being a draw.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
And people got hurt.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: so did, the
North Carolina courage in Portland.

They ended up drawing.

San Diego did beat BFC two to one,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: I didn't

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: eh?

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
that game.

'cause I went to like the Crawfords,
like Doug and Josie and Alyssa

that were always talking about,
last basketball game of the season.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: oh, nice.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
So we got to go see her play on

Saturday and then the five of us went
out to dinner and my friend who has

season tickets for BFC is texting me.

This game is chippy.

People are mad, like somebody got hurt.

Kaly Sheridan does her Kalyn
Sheridan thing goes to check on them.

like it was just a typical
West Coast soccer game.

Everybody hates everybody.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: So you were
saying it was a San Andrea's Cup game?

That's what you're saying?

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: you're
saying that I will begrudgingly agree.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: the
Houston Dash beat, Gotham two to one.

And then we just talked about the
Chicago Stars and Seattle rain

drawing with an amazing draw at the.

And three, three, with a great first goal.

honestly.

and yeah, that brings us

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Alyssa,
like I, that's a big frigging deal.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Oh yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
a league where when she started

their playing like 16 games.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: there's
eight, eight teams, something like that.

that's a long time.

She's just, I am not looking forward
to her retirement from soccer.

She's already retired internationally.

I'm not excited for when she retires
from club because she's gonna disappear.

Uncle is just gonna go off into the
forest we're never gonna see her again.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: we'll see here.

The she'll be in the
stands, still supporting.

Eh,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: But

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: well,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: I was
wrong about Becky Sorun, I was convinced

we would never hear from er again.

And now she is broadcasting and
podcasting and has a whole resurgence.

and she's pregnant.

So there's just so much
happening for Becky Sorun.

Who knows what's gonna happen for a
listener either way, I'm excited for it.

Wait.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: All right,
so let's get into our draw, which

honestly happened.

I,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
This was not a game.

I anticipated feeling like we lost.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: yes,
that's what I was gonna say.

This one,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: I.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
it, it didn't feel like.

I will caveat this by saying a lot of the
feelings were based on the chat that was

going on and the recaps that I've seen,
because this is one of the things where

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: dad duties
took over and we didn't have, I didn't

have time to watch this game, but,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

It was a frustrating match,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: it,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
all know.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: yeah.

And.

Drawing to one of the it
bottom teams the league.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Doesn't feel good at all.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: And not
that it was like a, it, yeah, it was

definitely a tie that felt like a loss.

'cause it wasn't a very, didn't feel
like it was a super competitive match.

It was.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: didn't.

looked completely different
in the second half.

We didn't have possession
of the ball as much.

The tides were starting to turn,
and then our defense stepped it

up, and I have thoughts about it.

I have feelings about it.

We couldn't really finish, obviously
in the attacking third, like we had

opportunities, great opportunities,
and it was just a little bit off,

a little bit off, or, the ball went
wide or it hit a freaking crossbar.

But you could tell the players were
frustrated too, which I couldn't tell

if they were frustrated because the
defense was frustrating because Utah.

I said in the last episode,
like they have nothing to lose.

They can play scrappy, they
can play, all gas, no breaks.

They can just kinda do whatever it,
I think it was a combination of that.

And then also I don't know, they just
looked frustrated and that's sad.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: it's
gonna be a short recap 'cause yeah,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: to say.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: it there, yeah.

Honestly, there isn't much to say
about this match and, it is what it is.

Real quip did a prompt, as we
always do for some footy therapy

subs galore, yet still a draw
leaving Sandy, Utah with a point.

bright side, we got a point,
other side of that bright side

is we need way more points.

But the other part of that bright
Brightside is some things went

our way this weekend where the gap
between us and the playoffs is not.

Terrible.

It's only three points.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Which I don't know how that worked

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

Yeah.

funny math that's happening.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
and we got it.

We needed a San Diego loss.

We did not get that.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: No.

so I will say that the
point is keeping us afloat.

Barely though.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Zach came
in on Instagram, needed a Capri Sun.

Astic equals Strauss, playing some chess.

Can we still make the playoff cut off?

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: The
whole time you posted about the subs

and granted, we were all screaming
oh my God, subs before the death.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: I
just kept singing like $5 foot long.

It was just stuck in my head.

Like it, we were subway essentially.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: I, yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
For the longest time.

You know what was stuck in my hand
whenever I thought of subs though, was

the Quiznos, like the weird hand thing?

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: that.

Unfortunately I do.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
And you know what I realized, and we

were talking about this at work a few
weeks ago, kids don't have jingles.

Like

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: No,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: I have
the stupid cards for kids songs, sucking

my head on a every other day basis.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: or
like that, the quiz and subs, weird

commercial or $5 foot long, whatever,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
taco Bell, Budweiser, all

these different brands.

I can tell you different
jingles throughout my life.

And now I'm

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
or JG Wentworth.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Or like survival?

Like survival insurance.

are you insured?

Yeah.

By survival.

No, I can't take that ride.

everybody knows that commercial, my
coworker and I had to show it to our

other coworker who didn't grow up out
here, and I'm like, wait, you don't

know the survival insurance commercial?

And he's are we thinking of the same one?

I'm like, it's the only one that mattered.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Empire Flooring,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
805 8 8 2 300.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Empire.

You know Which, what is
the wildest one though?

Such a wr.

Yes.

We'll get back to everything.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: so guys.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: The wildest
one though that again, when you talk

to people that are not from the LA
area, so like they're not familiar with

these and I know everybody everywhere
had one of these, every region has

one of these, but crazy Gideon,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Oh,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: no
Jing, no jingle or whatever.

But you remember crazy.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
I haven't heard that in a minute.

I thought you were gonna be like,
Cerritos Auto Square or like Cal

Worthington or something like that.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: No crazy Gideon

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Wow.

I haven't heard.

Oh, wow.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: TVs off
of the roof and stuff like that.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Geez,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
you know what's, do you know?

Do you know what's at Crazy
Gideon's old warehouse?

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: No.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
That's art district brewing, so

they have a crazy Gideon beer

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
That's amazing.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
and he's done promo for them.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Did you just throw it?

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
I don't remember.

This was a couple years.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
in 20 years.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: This
was a couple years ago, but yeah.

Okay.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Sorry, everybody.

I hope you enjoyed that fantastic tangent.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Of
nostalgia, commercials and jingles.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Please DM us your favorite stupid

jingles and commercials that you
grew up watching, because if it

wasn't on in the middle of the day,
in the summertime, it didn't count.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Or if you're
on YouTube, just leave a comment.

Better yet, leave a link to the videos.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
to the video.

Do not screw up.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: No,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Haiku,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
no, they're crafted.

I don't want to

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
He, yeah.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Okay.

So Ethan came in.

Finding synergy with new keeper between
posts, clean sheets, but turning, although

his misspelling at the beginning was clean
shits but turning and it still works.

'cause we've gotta it works.

So I'll take it either.

Either one will be accepted.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
I forgot that happened.

great.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: cassandra
also came in a zero zero draw, hurts

worse than a one one draw where we
equalize, but not as bad as a one one

draw where we give up the equalizer.

I don't make the rules still point.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
She's very correct.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

I'm very, yeah.

Yeah, that, I think that's the
right, that's the correct ranking

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: there.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
the worst is a one, one draw

where we give up an equalizer.

The best is a one, one
draw where we equalize

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
the garbage in the middle, no score.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: and that
means it's usually, that means more

often than not will mean the boring one.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: There's
high drama and chaos on either one

of the one, one draws the zero zero.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: it's

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
More often than not.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
you're just sitting there ugh, the

whole time, just stressed and tense and
mad, and so mad, and then mad again.

Anyway.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Okay,
the last one that I will just check.

everybody had the same thoughts.

Everybody was just mad,
disappointed, Vero, I think it's.

I think this is strangely what I've been
waiting for, putting players in different

positions, starting slash subbing
differently, making chaotic changes.

Strauss is throwing balls at the wall
and seeing what sticks, and that is

going to look real messy sometimes.

He's not necessarily trying
to make a playoff run.

His goal seems to be to dominate
and win the playoffs next season.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
That's fine, but we're so close and

I have big feelings about
that because I don't disagree.

I just don't understand.

Because if you have the ability
to do it, like why aren't, are

we playing to win or No, I don't
play to tie, I don't play to like,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
You're bringing a look.

Look, stressed.

You're bringing out competitive
Angela here, you're, you can't.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Get it together, but it's very

much that, if we're doing this in a
friendly, in a game that doesn't count

short, great, let's throw some shit.

See what sticks you have between
game to figure out what's sticking.

Be it long term or
temporarily when a game?

We haven't won an, this is for later, but
we haven't won a match in eight games.

We've had two draws losses.

I'm tired of this grandpa.

This is like every internet reference I've
ever seen in my life in this episode, but

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: if I
had the time, I'd put them all in.

I ain't got the time to do
that 'cause I'm back at work.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yay.

As much as nobody wants to have a
job, I'm grateful that you are healthy

and alive enough to have one and

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yes.

Yes.

that's the game.

Let's put it behind us.

The one that's coming up is.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: I'm

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: It not.

Okay.

No.

This one was supposed to, this
one was supposed to be the,

yeah, let's try some shit.

But we prob we have a pretty good
chance to do what we need to do.

Did not work out.

This next one doesn't feel like we really
have that much leeway, that much room.

but just before that, again, playoff
picture, we're still outside.

I didn't write it down, but I
believe we're still in 11th place.

Maybe tied for 10, tied
for 10th this time.

Yeah.

11th.

11th.

I think we're in 11th.

Either way doesn't matter.

We're out of the playoffs as we have
been outside looking in the whole time.

But the good news is that, like
we said, with all the results that

happened, we're only three points
away from that eighth position.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: I've

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: The f.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
shit happen, but it's stressful here.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: the
fact we're on year three now.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
Us or the team.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: us as
the podcast, we're on year three.

We started mid season of
our, of one of the years.

So we're on a, we're
on the winter calendar.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
a while ago.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

And every season it's been, we're this
close, we need to win a few more games.

it's like a

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
on to the

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: broken record.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: that
like Gotham went from bottom of the table

to winning or Orlando went from bottom
of the table to winning the championship.

But like

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Okay.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
out here.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

Yeah.

And there's been other kran,
there's been other teams.

Orlando had.

Some pretty bad years leading
up to it, all of them.

And then they finally came through.

Now if we wanna talk misery, like
those fans have gone through it.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
They know

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: We are, we're
at the beginning of that and it feels

hard and we know that it can get better
and we know, and we're waiting for it.

And like again, next year might be
the year, but it's hard to think

of next year when we're so close.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
we sound like Cubs fans.

We sound like

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Name.

Name your

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: teams,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: name.

Name your Cub Cubs fans.

red Sox fans, Mets the
Knicks, not this year, but

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

Just.

We you know what?

Okay.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: honestly the
Dodgers for the longest time, right?

Like they were,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
the McCourts

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: yeah.

yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
that's because of ownership.

even though they've brought curses upon
themselves again this season for different

reasons, also because of ownership.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
I just hope City fans never get

to the point of Cowboys fans.

That's my hope multi-sport fan.

Please God.

No,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: my favorite
thing recently has been, Wives trolling

their cowboy husband, like about,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
the VHS one?

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: and I
think it might've been the same

one, but she starts like coughing
and choking and he comes out, what?

And she's I got too close to the jersey.

And he is fuck.

It gets,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Anyway.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
so many derailments.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
the Dallas Cowboys of soccer.

'cause I will be heartbroken

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Shena.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
of reasons.

but we're matching up
against Orlando on Thursday.

God help us.

Partly because news broke
today that Orlando just had

the ugh.

The same reaction I had to Kansas
City signing Centner the same

reaction I had today on Instagram.

Looking at my phone, my brand new phone
that I just upgraded two days ago.

know I got a new fancy phone.

It works.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Nice.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
but Orlando is signing

Elizabeth Aya from the Tigre.

And if you don't know, she's really
freaking good at scoring goals and I hope.

With all the hopes.

I can hope that she's
not playing on Thursday

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: It
was just announced, so there's

a possibility that no, it's not.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
I don't think all the paperwork

and everything is finalized.

I think it's

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: It is
just announced that it's happening.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
yeah, it's happening.

But to give you like a brief holy shit
of her career, she has scored 22 goals

for the Mexican national team since 2018.

That's a lot.

Because they're not playing all the time.

And in just over 230 I think appearances
for Res, she scored 130 goals since 2017.

133, excuse me.

Yesi friend of mine, friend of the
pod is pro is like screaming with the

amount of coming to the league because
now she doesn't have to stream both.

Like she doesn't have to be at
an Angel City game streaming.

DJs on her phone or at a Sparks game,
which we're this drops Wednesday night.

Eva, her and I are going
to the Sparks Game.

I'm pretty sure, if I remember correctly,
they're playing at the same time.

So like

she picked Orlando because
of its proximity to Mexico,

and I'm very happy for her.

That's great.

Please, I hope she doesn't play Thursday,
because then we won't necessarily see

her until next season, and that's fine.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: and I'm one
of these people that don't really know,

about her, but seeing the chatter does
not instill any sort of good feelings.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
just no, a good team got better.

Shit.

yeah,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Why not us?

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: okay.

That's where we're at.

Yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: big.

Why not us?

But also would expect to see a
lot of changes from here on out

because I thought week we were
gonna see like incremental changes.

that's not.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Transfer
window closes the end of this week.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yay.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
It closes on Saturday.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
there's so much that's gonna happen.

much is gonna happen the
second this episode drops.

Like I can feel it in my bones.

I've got weird, confused vibes.

I don't know.

I don't know.

in my heart of hearts, like Vero said,
it doesn't feel like we're playing to

try and make the playoffs, which like.

Hurts, hurts my feelings.

feels like we're playing to see

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
It's a personal attack.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yes.

A personal your hand if you've
been personally victimized

by Angel City Football Club.

it's like Regina George right now.

I'm frustrated because like I had
interrupted myself saying it feels like

we're figuring out who stays, who goes,
instead of being like, let's make a

playoff push and also figure some shit
out and then figure out the rest of it.

In a couple months.

so I don't know.

just, I don't know what to expect
from the team and it now, I don't

know if it's and I don't know what to
expect because there's puppet strings

and chess pieces moving, and ways I
can't see because I don't, obviously

don't have all the information.

But the PTSD of being an Angel City
fan means the second we start to

trend up some weird shit happens.

And I'll like that.

And that's just like the
emotional fan side of me.

It's a business, it's logistics.

It's figuring out who does
what and where and how.

that doesn't mean that players
end up wanting to stay.

Players like feel that they're
being, like you have folks who've

been on the team the whole time.

You have some who've come in.

Over just the off season.

there's so many key people on this
team that I really hope don't leave.

And like I just, I have so many thoughts
on free agency and like questions about

who's playing and why not other players.

And I was gonna get into it and then
I was like, I don't wanna start shit.

I don't wanna start drama.

I just, the vibes are off, man.

I don't know.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
And it's all speculation.

Like we're not,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
because there's no information.

Just vibes.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: it is
just vibes and the vibes are off.

there's been some.

There's been some hints of cohesion.

There's been some hints of gelling.

Again, it's one of those things where like
we see a glimmer of something and one step

forward, two steps back, whatever cliche
you wanna pick about, not quite advancing,

as much as you want is what's happening.

And it's so frustrating

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: as a fan, you.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
this is what ha, this is

what happens in expansion.

not every team has is San Diego and has a
shield winning season their first season.

That is super rare.

Expansion teams usually are not great.

they get their shit figured
out for four or five years.

We're in the thick of
that right now and it

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
We had the promise, we had

the glitz, the glamor we had.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: have
so much promise, but like pinky swear.

Pinky swear, iss gonna be better.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Oh,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: hard
with everything going on right now 'cause

it's also like season ticket, renewal
season across the board and season

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: they

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Oh yeah.

Season ticket holder event is on Saturday.

If you haven't gotten your tickets,
I dunno if you still can, but if

you are, I will have stickers on me.

Eva's gonna be there.

my mom's gonna be there.

If you wanna

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: at
the aquarium of the Pacific.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
At the aquarium of the Pacific,

since we're going deep into jingles.

Oh God.

I am old and I've lived here a long time.

Okay.

So players to look at for
both Orlando and Angel City.

I'm not gonna talk about Marcha
this episode because if you

don't know, it's not my fault.

Like she is Marta.

She is who she is.

Barbara Bonde got hurt in the game
against Kansas City, so I don't

know if she's gonna be playing.

If you'd also don't know who Barbara
Bonde is, go back, listen to a couple

episodes, listen to the World Cup,
listen to the Olympics, like girl's.

Great.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yep.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
I'm gonna talk about Haley McCutchen,

who Marta said before kickoff
of the finals where they won.

Or no?

no.

after the win, grabbed Haley McCutchen
said, I wanna lift this with you.

Like on the stage when
they lifted the trophy.

She has been in the league since,
I think it was 2017 or 2018.

I don't know why I didn't write
it down Houston was on loan for

a second, came back to Orlando.

She has the second longest streak
regular season games without a

playoff appearance at 130 games.

So she played 130 regular season games.

Again, that's a lot when
you're playing in a league with

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: With,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: 22.

Games a season, like not
very many games a season

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
to 130 regular season games

without a playoff appearance.

she is only second to Kalia Watt
who had 138 JJ Watt's wife or she,

or he's her husband, essentially.

It's dope.

she's a defensive midfielder.

She has two goals on the season.

She's fantastic to watch.

She's just everywhere all the time.

She's a pest.

Which is great

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Ah, geez.

Another pest.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
So many pests.

This league is full of pests.

yeah, she's great to watch.

She's great to have on your team.

Frustrating to play against, but
she's number two, she'll be in

the midfield and she's great.

And then keeper, big keeper episode today.

Also between me screaming about a
Alyssa Air who I'm talking about.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: And shared in.

And yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

Caitlyn Sheridan.

Yeah.

Keeper her keeper.

Keeper, keeper.

Anna Morehouse is their keeper.

Whoa.

she's also on the English national
team, but has not had a cap as of yet.

I believe she was the backup in the Euros
backup for the last, like two years or so.

And been, like she's sturdy.

She's a fantastic keeper.

She has had a wonderful couple
of seasons with Orlando.

She came in as, or what
was supposed to be.

Ashlyn Harris's, not necessarily
replacement, but like when Ashlyn

Harris went to Gotham in the before
days, if it was Ashlyn Harris, Aaron

McLeod as the keepers in Orlando.

Anna Morehouse came in.

McLeod, I think got hurt.

Lost her spot, essentially
wasn't resigned.

She and Gunny are now playing
overseas in Iceland, I think.

But Anna Morehouse just essentially
stepped into that role and last

season she played every game, which
as we learned when we had the episode

with Casey Keepers Don't get Iron
Woman, they just play every game.

It's considered different.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
but she set a new record for season,

single season clean sheets with 13.

13 clean sheets on the season.

She beat 80 frenches record of 11 shutouts
when 80 French was playing in Portland

on the thorns, and 80 French had been
Kansas City's keeper most recently.

She was a backup national team keeper,
but like you're not gonna get that much

playing time when Alyssa Airs end goal

in general.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

She played in the last Olympics
when Alyssa went down and got hurt.

did a fantastic job in a
really shitty situation.

yeah, Anna Morehouse is also dating
Viviana Villacorta who plays for Orlando.

This is important because
Viviana is from Torrance.

She's out with an ACL tear this
season, but she went to MiraCosta.

She's a local LA girl,
and I just wanted to

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
that was your LA connection.

That,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: ha.

Betty,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: and if
you notice a slight little trend,

if you're new here with, Angela's
seemingly random choices of players

to select, we do have merch on our
store that says, I just love defense

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: I do.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
and there's a reason for it.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: If
you're at the Sparks Game tomorrow,

let me know if today, Wednesday, if
you're at the Sparks versus the Wings,

let me know and I'll just scream
about defense to you at the game.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Also just
let her know, because you might be

hearing this after the game, so you know,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
And then for Angel City, I wanted

to talk about Alyssa Thompson.

'cause we got a glimpse of Thompson time
in the second half at the last game.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: we did.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

Giselle.

Giselle had a clean bell Health
she subbed in the second half.

So Alyssa, the older of the
two, number 21, a flashy, flashy

forward from Studio City has.

Had a really great season.

Genuinely.

Obviously she's not scoring super
ton, but I feel like scoring for

Angel City has been really dispersed.

Like it's not just one person, two people

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah, this is.

This year has been a lot nicer
with our scoring abilities.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: It's
like as great as a Golden Boot would be.

It's also like I want six people
on our team scoring regularly.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Oh yeah.

Yeah.

I want six people on
that Golden boot race.

That's what I want, but.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
truly same, but she's really matured.

Over the last year, if you've been
watching Angel City Games, she had that

like weird little drought where things
were just wonky and then it just clicked

in and she was different, like different,
like four, five extra syllables different.

in April when the national team was
playing out here, and I, thanks to

my aunts, had amazing seats like.

Fifth row, something like that,
like in the attacking third.

So like we just gotta see it firsthand.

And she is, I hate using the
word fierce because it's like

she's fierce and oh my God.

And it's just irritating.

She has a ferocity about her though.

Like it's like this intensity and
this You remember when Kobe would

become like mamba, like the black
mamba and his like facial expression

would change like this, DT did it.

Diana Taray.

For those who don't know,
obviously I'm making basketball

references 'cause I am who I am.

But every single player another level
they go to when it's no, I got this.

It's that

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730:
when they're locked in.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: yeah.

And she has that.

amazing and I love it, and I'm so happy.

That's been really fun to see her
maturity and her mature in her game

just over the last couple seasons.

So I'm really hoping she's here
for the long haul and that we just

get to continue watching that and
not be on the receiving end of it.

So also that,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

Yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
and then.

My last but not least keeper of
the episode unless I find another

way to bring another one in.

Hannah Seabert made her
debut, unfortunately, is

because Angelina is hurt.

She had a fantastic game,

great saves, great distribution.

looked, I mean there was one pass
when Utah was like really pressing

and like things got a little funky.

But it didn't end up being for the worst,
like it didn't go downhill quickly.

She was fun to watch.

She's number 13, obviously.

She's c she runs Pepperdine.

She's a LA girl too.

She had been playing in Portugal
before coming to Angel City.

I'm just really curious who's gonna be
between the bars on Thursday, because

I don't know if Angelina's healthy, the
availability report hasn't been released

as of right now the games on Thursday.

It will be released tomorrow
morning, guaranteed.

yeah, I don't know.

know what's gonna happen, but
I'm really happy to see that

we have very capable keepers.

I'd love to

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

Yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
It was like a coin flip.

'cause then also Seabert
went down for a second.

It was like, oh crap.

Are we gonna get other Hannah in now?

what's happening?

But.

Overall, like she had a fantastic show
and she looked really confident out there.

she doesn't wear those
like big poofy gloves.

She wears the more streamlines ones.

And I think it was Vero, either Vero
or Cassandra said it looked like she

had gardening gloves on in the Discord,
and I didn't notice it until then.

And then once I saw it, I couldn't see it.

So now everybody has to see it with me.

But overall, I just, I hope we
have a good showing at home.

Genuinely.

I really hope.

We show up.

I hope the fans show up.

I don't know what to expect.

I don't know what to tell you
to expect, but here's hoping

for a show in a really good way.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

But overall, between us on Orlando,

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: not good.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
this, record.

Is interesting.

We have won once, drawn twice,
lost four times, which makes sense

given that they ran the table
last season and we're so good.

And if you listen, if you're, if
you listen to last season, all

tell you how great Orlando was

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: yeah,

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
whole season.

And

I don't like, I'm not in

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: I.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
of talking shit about a team

when they're really good.

It's damn, please let us be
that good at some point soon.

please.

yeah, they're in second
place, third place right now.

It is flip-flopping because
Kansas City's kind of running

away with everything right now.

but yeah, we'll see how
this goes on Thursday.

Ab BMO at seven 30.

This is the, we have six remaining
home matches, including this one.

So there or be square.

It'll be on CBS Sports Network,
FanDuel Sports Network, iHeartRadio

the iHeartRadio app with Isaac and
Tracy, and also KFWB and Espanol.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: Yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
And wait, one more jingle.

It's KFWB News 98, except now
it's in Spanish and it's a

completely different station.

whatever.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: The
other one being, Rodney on the Rock.

Rodney On the Rock.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730:
I don't know that one.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: He's, Rodney
Bing, Heimer, like late night, K Rock.

Yeah, he's old.

Old school Q Rock guy.

yeah.

ang-guest210_1_08-19-2025_212730: I
don't know that I don't remember him.

mario_1_08-19-2025_212730: If you've
heard everything and still thought.

These people are nice,
they're fun to listen to.
