Full Episode
Real Salt Lake and U.S. men's national team rising star Diego Luna. Diego, you have this dog and this nastiness about you. You've got this tenacity to want to prove yourself.
I'm the kid, you know, that didn't really come from much. For me, it was always, you know, fighting for what I wanted, you know, needing to prove myself at any level and even on the soccer side.
Unfiltered Soccer with Landon and Tim, presented by Volkswagen. Volkswagen has long been a supporter of soccer in America and has proudly been a partner of U.S. Soccer for the past five years.
Yes, LD, we are back with another episode of Unfiltered Soccer. A funny old thing happened this week for our listeners. Landon and I, when we do promotional stuff and sponsored elements for Unfiltered Soccer, we will oftentimes have to travel. And so Landon so graciously comes east to New York where I am oftentimes. And every now and again, I have to go West. So.
Well, every now and again, you mean once.
So I, I, I, I trekked all the way out to San Diego, which by the way is God's country. I've heard that.
It's amazing.
And we ended up doing the, it was a very complex shoot. So we had staggered start times and they were so staggered. But I was there for three days and didn't see Landon, didn't invite me for dinner. I'll tell you a funny story, though. And you know, there's my one of my best, best friends in the world lives a couple of streets down. And I was like, do I do I ring and run?
Do I go to Landon's house? Ring the bell, and I thought, security, dogs, they'll all attack me.
