I'm doing good, Bob.

How are you tonight?

He's played Major League Soccer the last couple of years.

This isn't – like, you know, I think in 22 he'd already left Barcelona and gone to PSG.

And, hey, PSG is a pretty – you know, they're the two-time reigning Champions League title holders here.

They've got a top-flight thing going now.

But a lot of people were sort of dismissive, thinking, well, you know, he's played in the secondary league here for a few years.

That was a big deal back then.

Great appreciation for the talent level.

And maybe you can help us here.

Like the European guys that you played with in the league, they have immense respect for European football, don't they?

Yeah, what a glutton for punishment she's been, eh?

And conversely, North American goalies usually have better glove hands because they played baseball.

Well, Bo Jackson, he was pretty good in two different sports.
