Yeah, he's the best. You have a good weekend? Yeah, it worked, man. It worked. I was on the desk. It was a lot of games in the Premier League, FA Cup as well. So it felt like a big weekend, obviously. Clearly with Liverpool clinching, it was exciting times for the Premier League.

Well, I think you started by saying in the moment you don't realize things could possibly be polarizing or inflammatory. What I would say is... If you're being 100% honest and you're just having a conversation and you're giving it straight and keeping it real, as the kids say, you don't think it's inflammatory. We say that.

And we're just talking real. There's no agenda. And next thing you know, it blows up and people are screaming about it. And you're like, okay, well, after the fact, it sounds kind of controversial, but it's just how I feel. It's not like I'm trying to stir any pots. Look... When it comes to whether or not the national team coach should be American or foreign, I don't care. I don't care either way.

Some of the foreign coaches that we've had they don't really care if their legacy is tarnished in America. They're not American. It's not, the buy-in isn't the same. And that's, that's no disrespect to any of the individuals. That's just a, that's a cultural thing. You're going to care. You're going to care more about how your country people feel about you versus not.
