• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: So I'll make it brief and then you can extend
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: it however you want. The team I support in Europe
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: is one hundred percent in England, It's in London. It's
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: beautiful Chelsea. It's my beautiful Blues. Uh. They continuously break
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: my heart and I will continuously liken them to the habs.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: So for those that don't know who might be listening,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: maybe not in Montreal or the Montreal Canadians have won
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: quite a lot of trophies, quite a lot of Stanley Cups.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And I mean again, this season doesn't count because they're
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: about to hit the playoffs. I don't know when this
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you know when this can air. But there's a love
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: hate thing. There's always a sort of a breakdown and destruction,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: a rebuild. It goes to the top and then it
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: falls apart again and it's this ongoing thing. It's very
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: much like Chelsea so I I it's I find there's
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: a there's a big connect. So on the Chelsea side,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: it's that's how it is for for my lope, for
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: like my club, there's a little bit of it Stritch
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: in there because where my granny was from. But luckily
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: enough we're not lucky enough.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: We got it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: We got them for one year in the Premier League,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: just this past season. So that was fun to try
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and figure out how to support over there. Otherwise that,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: other than that, I got into football very late. I
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: never played. I played as a kid at the YMCA
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: with friends. Nothing I know. I'm sure a lot of
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: guys and girls or whoever you know you have on
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the show. Usually it's in their DNA. They play all
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the time. They played at a young age. They kept going.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Some made it, some didn't. For me, it was really
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: just a hobby because you know, growing up here in Canada,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I don't want to date myself. But the late seventies
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: in the eighties, you know, football wasn't let's be serious here.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: You you you were listening on the radio. You were
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: lucky to get a couple of broadcasts. Otherwise there was
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: no way to connect unless you were getting stuff from overseas,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: right from family members, and so it wasn't in like,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: it wasn't the way it is today and you go
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: play football and where everybody's rock and kits you can
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: watch it on your phone like it just that didn't exist,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: And so I wasn't really into it except for in
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the summer and in the winter it was hockey and
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: basketball like it was how it was, right. And then
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: my cousins from the UK would send me stuff and
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: some of it was Chelsea related. I was like, yeah,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't really know what this was and really understand it,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: and sort of yeah, and then it was a World Cup.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I think it was Japan Korea. What was the it
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: was the mixed age. Yeah. So I was already into
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: football a little bit, but in two thousand and two,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it was and I don't know
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: what it was about that England kit, and I don't
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: know why. I ran to Evangelista and I grabbed my
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: England shirt because nobody from back, like, no one on
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the English side of my again, I'm born here, but
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: on the English side of my family sent me in
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: like I never had anything, and you know what I mean.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: So I got my kit and I remember sleeping my
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: dad's office because it was late, like it was early
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: morning when you would have to watch these games. So
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: my brother and I were, Oh, my gosh, I'm gonna
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: tell you guys something. You're gonna love this. Hey, So
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: we were sleeping like in sleeping bags, you know, being
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: waiting for the game, right, and from that point on
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: it just got worse and worse and worse. I'm just
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: gonna throw this in to throw him under the bus.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: You're ready for this, my brother again, we're we're brothers
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: by blood.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I hope.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: So he's in a Zuri fan way, so we know,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: we knew Paul. It's it's still probably one of the
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: biggest dividers in our Christmas dinners and every other like
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: sort of. I don't know how it happened. I think
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: it happened because one of his best friends was the
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: time and they went to Italy and he was like,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: he was wooed by the loveliness that the Italian c
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Italian culture does. It has a good job of, you know,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: having people call in love and uh so to this day,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, he rocks up in a zip up with
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: the with the with the badge and it's just like
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: so hard to take. But yeah, so that's again, I'm
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: sorry if that's too long an intro to sort I
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: got into football, but and then from that point on
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: it just got worse and worse. And for those again
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: that are one hundred percent sure, when football gets you,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: you're done. And it just continues to get worse and worse,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: meaning better and better, but worse and worse is it
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: consumes and consumes, it consumes, and so and that actually
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: was longer than I was hoping for. But that's how
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I got it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: No, But I like how you touched upon certain things
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: because that o to England squad. What a midfield he got,
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: like like it's act. The roster itself was just so fantastic.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: I think like my favorit player on that roster was
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Michael Owens. But I don't think Rudy wasn't there.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Yet, know he was still no he comes, yeah, but
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: not not much later, not much later like Man United
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: started to winning three or four. The worst part about
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: England and this is not why we're on the show.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: We got to talk about what we're here. But for
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: God's sake, For God's sake, if you look at these teams,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: and if you look at these players, and if you
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: look at the juicy meat that we have had on
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: every one of these skeletons, what in dear I want
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: to swear, I just don't know where the parameters are there.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: And then and then I won't swear again because I
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: like to keep it clean so that you know, my
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: kids or whoever. Actually, but the it's so heartbreaking to
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: look like even you, I mean, you just go over
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: that list over and over again. You just we can't
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: do it. It's it's crazy, it's crazy. I just brought
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: up the Euros today on another conversation this morning, how
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: for the first time ever in my life, I shed
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: a tear in public. You know, when you see the
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: little kids in Europe or wherever, like big football communities
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: that are crying, and you're like, at least I growing
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: up was like, what's going on here? Now? I get it.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I was crying. You guys did it to us, and
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: then Spain did it to us. It's just been a
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: disaster thing. So let's let's just change the subject.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because if we get on this subject, Paulica, we're
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: gonna be here for three hours.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: So yeah, and you're gonna and you're gonna like Canadian
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: legend Dustin Hargreaves on that roster too, right, we're talking
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: about Canadian soccer.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: What is on that roster?
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Either way, I think that you would have had him
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: if Jesse Marsha was in charge. Yeah, I think if
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: you had had a Martian charge of Canada back then,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I think there could have been some swing done. I'm
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: telling you for sure, wouldn't put it past.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, No, Paul listen, Uh we open the show Man
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: of Many, hats Man of Many. Uh you know, uh projects, uh,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: you know you've you've indulged in so much. Uh, if
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: it be the pub scene, if it be the football scene,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: if it be the charity scene. You've really you know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: checked off a lot of boxes before we kind of
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: really get into you know, obviously the nuts and boats
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: over over this past weekends win with Supra and just
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: your whole involvement with the with the club. Just a
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: quick you know brief I guess you know, uh talking
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: point of you know, your Goals initiative, Uh, you know, charity.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: You know obviously, the the pub scene, people that are
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: are living under a rock and don't know Burgundy Lion.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, it's you know, your time to
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: wake up, I think and get your ass over there.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: But just yeah, your involvement in the in the in
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: the soccer cultural football scene.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: As we like to call it here on the show. Uh,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: in the community, what Goals.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Initiatives is and how that kind of started before we
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: get into all the Super talk.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no problems. So but I'll make that quick because
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I definitely want to talk about Super There's so much
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: to talk about with this.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: There is.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Goals started, I believe it or not, It's going to
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: be this year, sixteen years ago. So wow, it started
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: in a park in the rain, and literally I think
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: most people weren't even playing football. They were sort of
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: smoking and having some beverages while kicking a football, like
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: real Sunday style. And it was to raise money for
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: a group called Head and Hands and NDG. The whole idea,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: guys just very quickly Goal takes money and does stuff
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: in the community with it. Right, So that was and
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: there was there was, there were an organization in need.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I was like, this will never continue, this will never
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: work again, no one's ever gonna want It was a pouring, right,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: you know how much of all this like Montreal can
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: just be the worst weather at the at the at
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the most, you know, yeah, right, like come on, yeah,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: And it didn't. But it continued and it continued and
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: it's grown and grown in the team around and the
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: entire team around Goal. That's the only reason it's working
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: is because I have so many amazing people actually doing
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: the hard work. And you know, we're repurposing fields now
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I'm super charging it, right, so I'm getting all the
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: way down to the end. We're a cr right, so
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: where we can write charity text or see across Canada,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: We've worked with organizations like Dai India's Ario in Toronto,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: and we work very closely right here with the Pets
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: and his foundation, the Petres Bernier Foundation, and with him,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: we actually came together and created a program where we
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: repurposed football fields in public schools or public spaces where
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: there are zero dollars like I'm talking zero, zero dollars
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: from anything, because everything is so tight and you're putting
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: these kids out on these fields that are just it's
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: not okay, Like it's actually just not okay, and it's
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: not acceptable. Definitely not in Canada and definitely not in Quebec,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: not in our province, in Quebec or Montreal or so
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: that's its massive mission and always to do.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: So it's a tournament, but it's not really it's a friendly.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: We used to do trophies, then there were fights, so
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: there's no more trophies. So that was that a friend,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: not dude, it was be insane. It's football, you know
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: what happens. Of course, do you come to go food,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: you have drink from different locations in the city. Everybody
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: comes together. It's you know, there's you know, we show
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: World Cup or Euro Games on the Jebbotron there's haircutters, tattoos,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: there's merch, there's there's all kinds of there's you know,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: games for kids, games for adults including football as well. Right,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: there's an actual sort of friendly tournament that happens throughout
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: a couple of games. Community people come together, so that's goal,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: and we just keep bringing in a lot of really
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: cool people to help it make it way better than
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: it is. Super will be involved this year, so will
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: the Roses, the alliance with the basketball team here in Quebec.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: You know, sometimes we get some CF guys in we
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: definitely the habs are usually usually the harder ones to
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: get because most hockey guys aren't into football unfortunately. But
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: we'll see. But especially with the World Cup, so it's
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: really it really becomes quite a community led project.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Awesome. We love to hear that.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: And for sixteen years, Paul, like, that's that's that's you know,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: we commend you honestly, because that's that's a lot of
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: hard work.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: You know. Yeah, no, no, I know, I know it's
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: a team, but.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Listen, it's a team effort and for to go on
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: for sixteen years, rather like it's enough to do something
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: for sixteen days straight but imagine sixteen years, right, So listen.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: We commend you, and you know that's not the only thing.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: We commend you on on everything that you're doing.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: But we wanted just to get that out there because
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: obviously it's a it's a great thing and it's for
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: it's for great causes locally here in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: So that's I think the most important thing, uh, in
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: this whole, in this whole endeavor.

  Speaker 2: see back it up a little further. The project is
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: led by the president, which is Roca Blatentino. So he's
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: not he's not only the sort of the founder, but
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: he's also co like he he's led this project for
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: a long time. And I think you had these conversations
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: right like, it's we see it this year, we see
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: the year build up to it, but it's years in
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the making and and everybody knows in football it takes
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: a lot of conversation, a lot of wrangling, a lot
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: of money, and a lot of people to believe in
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: the project that are willing to take that risk. Right again,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: it's been a year until we finally got to see
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: the boys kick a football last weekend a year or
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: you know thereabouts, and it's people just you know, you
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: don't realize the timeline of how things come come about.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: You just see it like when it's finally cooked, right,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: or when something's coming out of the oven. He's been
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: leading the charge on that for many years. But a
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: year ago or whatever it was, I was sort of
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: swayed by Again, anybody who's ever spoken to Rock, it's
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: very easy to be you know, two minutes and you're sold, right,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: And it's so he told me about the project. It
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: didn't take long for me to say.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I'm all in.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: So I'm all in, which is why we're talking today.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: You know, there's very few moments in time where you
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: realize you have an opportunity to be part of something
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: extremely special and unique, and there's you can't pass things up,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: you know, there are just sometimes there's just there's a reason, right,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: there's a there's you just have to have to go
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: down the path. So again, that was that was an
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: easy sale for me to to sort of to take that,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: to take that leap and the idea of the Supra,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: which again I think you guys have already spoken about it.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: But for those that don't know, it's it's to work
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: within the local Quebec space of football. And what that
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: means is your coaching staff, your backroom staff, your players.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: They are home grown, they are from the province. They
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: all have wickedly cool you know, ethnic backgrounds and they
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: all come again all this entire province is made up
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: of people from all over the right, all over the planet,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: but the Quebecers, and it's modeled after at Lady Bilbao, right,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: which is for those again and in case in Spain
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: that that has mapped out that exact same thing where
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: you're working within the community, you're working within the local
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: talent and you're bringing that up. You're bubbling up that
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: to its highest level. So that's the main reason the
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: result that you know, like the it's a club free
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: here from here and that's what it's about. And so
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: taking that and then actually showcasing this football talent on
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: the pitch when you have guys like head coach Nick
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: and assistant coach at Rampton, you know, putting in their
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: special sauce to take these super talented footballers and do
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: things that they're gonna do this season. It's gonna be fun. Man,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be fun to show off the talent that's
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: here that everybody knows is here. But now we'll get
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: to back it up even further again super supporting the
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: local community and the football and the Quebec football scene.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: With this professional club. It's it's not the end all
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: and be all right, and that's very important because the
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: truth is, it's really about the clubs in the communities
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: doing this all the time, all day long, all week long,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: every weekend, every parent, every association, everybody that's not getting
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: paid but still doing it and still waking up and
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: packing the balls and packing the cones, like let's be
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: serious here, right, And so those men and women are
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: the ones that are forming these kids. And then now
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: with the thing like Supra, you're able to sort of
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: galvanize these this and then with the training staff and
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: the sporting directors and the present you know, everybody that's
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: on the sporting side of the super are going to
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: be able to hone this in and and and sort
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: of put those pieces into you know, into a real
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: working machine, which and these are a lot of these kids.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we professional footballers here in the
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Canadian Premier League, but also gives them an oppertunity to continue.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe something else excuse me, the MLS. Maybe
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: it's in Europe. Maybe I mean in the US. I mean,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: who knows this guy's the limit? That's correct? And so
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: does that help sort of answer what super is?
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, of course I had written it maybe five
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: questions and you think you answered all of.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Them right now? You're good, Paul. It shows you, It
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: shows you do this for a living man.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I'm looking for I forgot my cheat sheets. But yeah,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: but you know why I can. I don't know how
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: to explain this, but there is nobody involved in this
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: project that doesn't learn it, live it, breathe it. Like
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: I know, I sound like a like a cuckoo person,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: but it's it's like drinking the kool aid, you know,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Like it's because you you can't do twenty four hours
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: a day, seven days a week, every day, all the
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: time without that passion, like without I'm mission right, because
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: it's it's something, it's something special and it's been it's
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: something that's been presented to the team. I'm not talking
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: to the players even, I'm just talking to everybody. Everybody
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: that's involved with Super has an opportunity here to be
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: part of something extremely special and I don't think anybody's
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: taking anything for granted.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: That's kind of what I wanted to ask about you
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: for the next question. So look, now Montreal has three
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: professional soccer teams see if Montreal FC Super and the
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Montreal Roses.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: And the women team.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Uh, and it seems, at least outside looking and even
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: what you're saying, Super kind of takes a different approach
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: in that this is, you know, a different team. It's
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: fully for Quebec. Like I said, clip DC, what do
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: you see, it's really you know, for Quebecers. And and
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: that's kind of what the sense I'm getting talking to
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: other people. It's it's it's just different. And is that
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: kind of the the idea behind having all this community
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: driven initiative to just kind of just not be another
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: soccer team, just not be another pro soccer team that's
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: just going to get by every year every year.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we're just not like any other team.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: I know that sounds so snotty the way I just
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: said it, and it's not meant to be, but it
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: just never was something like anything.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: It just it's it's not typical. Look for those that
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: don't know, uh, the FC the Supra have an original
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: history in the eighties and nineties. Yeah, so this is
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit I please, I'm not liking it too.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: But like the Cosmos story where you have these rebirths,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: the Cosmos have had quite a few rebirths and actually,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: funny enough, we've been really fortunate. We got to play
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: We're there. Yeah, dude, that's.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Awesome Cosmos Like what insane?
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Thank you? Like said was there? Like right, have we evolved?
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Right?
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, United Man, I got no I got no love
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: for United, but.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: In tonight so you know you have to you know.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: But that being said, I mean that in itself was
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: mind blowing and fun. But the the footballers are young
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: and I don't think they understand that sort of that link.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: But that was super fantastic. But it's we have this
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: story and so Nicholas, I'm trying to bring it back
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: to you know your question or it just never started
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: off typical, right, and so there's no way we're going
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: to allow it to even pretend to go down that direction.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: There's it's just not allowed, right, So it's not even
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: in the DNA to allow yourself to be normal or
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: we're definitely none of us are normal. I can promise
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: you that.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: But that's it.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Like so, there was just it never it never. It
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: was never birthed to ever even to be complacent in
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: any in any in shape or form within football. So
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: because of that, I don't think, I know, at least
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: as long as I'm around with the team and and
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: and and working with you know, all of their bright minds,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: it ain't it's it's not gonna be. It will never
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: be regular. Man.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Well, as long as Roco is there, we know first
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: and experience it's not gonna be. Uh, it's gonna be
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: full throttle, one hundred percent all the time every day.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: There's no there's no turning back.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: So and you know what, honestly, Paul, I think that's
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: you know, as as as strenuous as it may be.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: And listen, we we see you guys from the.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: Outside in and we've gotten to know you know, some
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: of you guys have been more personally, and and see
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: the work that you guys have put in.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: It doesn't it doesn't go unnoticed.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: And and and there's a lot of there's a lot
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: of look at that picture, a beautiful event card for Wile.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Right, yeah, you know the season I.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Kick off there, but yeah, it's it's it's Boss of
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: the Walls. As we know, Roco likes to go and
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: I think that's the best way and the best of
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: pro because.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry to cut you up. So when your guy
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: at the when the pres when the guy at this,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: and then it's it's infectious and absolutely that's and you
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: can only hope for that, right, you can literally hope
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: for that.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: So that's that's great.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: We said go ahead, no no, because you brought up
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: something really interesting and it it just generated like a
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: question in my head and stuff like so you're talking
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: about you know how you know there's soccer history, and
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: you know you have these young kids getting involved, like
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: you know, like a super is a relatively young team
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: from what we've seen on the reveal and whatnot, and
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: and and you know, like you can tell that there's
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: obviously a nice youthful energy and stuff. But like it
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: was funny because when we're at the roster reveal a
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: carfur Laval, you know, I'm just there, like you know,
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: we're stat like like the whole crowd staring at the
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: team whatever whatnot.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: And and then we're looking at them.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: Like the guys to our left, I got Model Yellow
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: and Nick the Sadis guys that are Team Canada were
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: players or managers or what like. They were there in
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: the trenches when Canada was trying to build itself up.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: I remember as a kid went to watch Nick Desatis
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: at Saltacro who when the Impact used to play over
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: there in the in the in the in the in
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: the USL and family connections to like a friend like
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: their family friends and Nick Sina's went on, and I'm
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: just like, do these kids not realize that, Like you're
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: playing for a Canadian team, very proud, like you know,
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: they're they're really the essences want to be a team
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: of let's say Quebec, but still part of Canada. And
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: you also have Team Canada reps on the roster to
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: the kids, Yeah, do the players understand that? Are they
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: embracing it? Are they you know, any spunches about it?
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: So they understand who's there? Do they take full advantage?
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: You've been a kid once too, Yeah, come on, you don't.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: You won't know till later.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: The older ones are the wiser ones or the ones
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter the age. The ones just you know, a
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: little more astood to what's happening and who's giving them advice.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: And those ones will probably get a little more out
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: and pull a little bit more out when a nick
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: the census is talking to you on the sidelines or
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: he's there or he's giving you some tips or and
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: the ones that don't or miss it, you know, to
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: your point, Jenny will will, we'll probably realize that later.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: So at that same reveal that the team reveal, we
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: also had a bunch of the alumni. Yeah, let's be
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: clear there, right, somebody og og guys, uh, you know
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: that started all this and and you know we're getting
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: paid in in gas coupons. And if you're into it,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: you're doing it. You do it because you have no
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: choice because it's in it's it's just in your core.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: And those guys led the way. So those two, you know,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: you always hope that when there is a moment when
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: in a lump and I will be around some of
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: the new guys, that some of those younger guys take
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: a moment to sit down and listen to some of that.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: And so then it also maybe puts in perspective all
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: the hard work that ownership is doing right now to
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: give them a beautiful gym, a fantastic headquarters, beautiful locker rooms,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: TVs and video game consoles like what people are don't
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: take for me again, I don't. I'm gonna start to
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: sound like a father. So then it's gonna suck, because
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be that guy. But it's there's
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of people doing a lot of things, working
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: really really really hard to make sure that the players
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: focus on what they have to focus on.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: M's right.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: So that's all those niceties and all the smoothness and
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: the delicious food, like everything is because the team, sorry,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: the other element of the non sporting team or the
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: coaches are or there, everybody is working extremely hard to
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: make it so that the players focus on their training,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: on their health, on some of their community work, but
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: specifically what they have to do on the pitch. That's
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: they have their job and everybody else has their job
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: around them to you know, to be insular cocoon and
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: also to provide. And again like I don't say this lightly, ownership,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: you know, have stepped up and they've made this happen, right,
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: and so have the sponsors. And so the local clubs
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: that have connected with us. So there's there's a lot
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: of people doing a lot of things that are never
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: spoken about that are the real reason that this is possible.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: And I again, I don't want to sound like a
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: broken record, but it's it's really quite important that that's
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: constantly reminded and that you know, maybe the players hear
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: this and like, oh, yeah, that's right. I have these
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: niceties because of what everybody else is doing to make
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: it possible.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: Well, I think I think a lot of that hard work,
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: at least on our end, and a lot of people
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: in the community we've seen it.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: We've we've we've not.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Only seen it personally, you know, in person, but you
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: know online as well. I don't think any of this
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: is going unnoticed. I think there is a big buzz
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: and it's not just a buzz that's going to fizzle out.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: I think it's here to stay.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: And I think, like I said that, that that hard
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: work can't go unnoticed because of because of everything that's
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: going on, and and and and just all the positivity.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: And I think the players definitely did appreciate that, you know,
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: all that hard work because we saw over the weekend,
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: and this is probably the perfect segue to the inaugural
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: first match for Su Supra in the Canadian Premier League.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: Paul listen as as a fan, as a fan of you,
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: a fan of the club, a fan of Rock Go.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: You know, we become friends and it's like just we
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: were we were we were like, you know, shooting our
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: plans and kind of just.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: The emotional, the emotional roller coaster. We saw rockco on
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: the feed.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: We saw you almost passed out. I saw a joke.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I know, and and and I whistened to
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: him speak and and you know you're quiver.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: You hear the quiver. You understand how emotional and it was.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: It was insane. It was insane. It is insane. Okay,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: So I'm not sure how to do this. So there's
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: it's a it's a lot of celebrating for only your
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: first game, right in your first and the win. But
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: if you understand, and this is why I'm saying it
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: out loud so that you know others are, like you said,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: across the nation or whoever's listening to this understands, it's
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: it's got zero and I promise you zero to do
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: with cockiness. It's got to do that celebration about all
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: the hard work that has been going on for the years,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: the year leading up to this, the training camps, the
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: people getting cut, the efforts, Like does that make sense?
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: So yeah, the ballers did their job.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: But I swear to.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: God, that celebration and that energy that admitted out of
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: that there was five of us up top there that
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: must have screamed so loud, I like you could. And
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: again you know, by the mountains and the most beautiful
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: the location you've ever seen in Victoria. So there's an
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: echo like that's what happened. And you see on you
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: see on on camera right, like you see like rocals
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: like yeah, down, and it's just, uh, that's what it
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: was like. And so you celebrate obviously when you win.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: The guys, it's football, it's clear, but there was a
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: different kind of celebration there right, You could you could
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: feel that. My god, it was what a what a game?
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: What a what a way to start?
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Right? Historic start, that's what we say, that's what we
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: called this episode of Historic start.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Everything you want, you got cards, you've got, you got drama,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: you got screaming, you got, you got goals, you've got
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: goals by different Like it's not by one guy, it's
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: a it's such a team effort. I mean, it doesn't
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: it really does get better than that, right, it doesn't.
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: I mean like ninety seven minute goal too. It's like, yeah,
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: you can't write it. You can't write it any better,
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: you can't write.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: It all of it.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: I wasn't able to watch the game. I was out,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and then when I checked the score, I saw ninety
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: seventh minute. I was like, is that a mistake? Like
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: that's crazy. For the first you can't. You couldn't have
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: written it any better for the first game. It's easy
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: to say for local for a local guy to score,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: it's all local guys. But for a young player like Alexanderchku,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: first round draft pick in the CPL draft, and as
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: far as I understand, he's so he's under contract with
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: the Super now, but he's going to go back to university.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Is that it is?
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: That's how it works, Like they're allowed playing both.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. That just just just to kind of echo
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: back on to the point.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: And obviously, Paul, your excitement just it bleeds through the
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: screen of what the question was going to be, but
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: you kind of answered it already, so we love it.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: But just you're your your thoughts and your your your emotions.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: I just want to bring it back to before the match.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: What was in your head?
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: What did you envision? What what did you want? Obviously
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: you want to win, and like you said, it's football,
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: we want to win. We want to get three points
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: that we want to start off on the right foot.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: But just what was your initial you know, headspace, Like
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: what were you on the bus ride, like all those
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: behind the scene things that people don't know.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Maybe your your thoughts on everything.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, so fair, So there are questions that I wouldn't
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: answer because I'm not on the sporting side, and not
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: because I can answer them. It's not by place, if
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: this makes any sense. On the on the on in
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: my okay, we're obviously involved in everything. But the way
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: it works within football, you guys are better than I do,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: is that sporting says certain things, and then you know
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: marketing and and like there's a whole other side of it.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: I'm I really wear quite a few hats and so
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: I'm all over so I can really feel all of
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: these things. When it comes to the football side of things.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I will just say the only thing I thought about
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: because I hope nobody gets hurt. I know this sounds
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: so ridiculous, but winning I feel these guys out like
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: if that makes sense with it's sounding weird, They're gonna
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: do their job. They're gonna win. Sometimes they're gonna lose
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: sometimes Like that's not it's almost not even my place
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: to mention that, if that makes any sense. They've got
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: a job to do. Some days it's gonna be a
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: good day the office, and some days it's gonna be bad.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: That's so that Yeah, it's reality. Man, you wake up
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: or you don't. Like it's just I just my only
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: thinking on football side, Like I just hope nobody gets hurt.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: The honest truth is before other than that is I'm
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: super excited it's game one, but we're really just thinking
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: about home opener that's coming on again.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: This is why.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: So this is in my world. I'm thinking about are
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: we capturing all the right content? How like I'm thinking
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: of the other things that need to go on and beforehand,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: what are we you know, how are we doing all
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: these elements? How things are gonna look on the coming out,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: uh for our first game?
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: Ever?
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Ingesting as much as I can because those guys have
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: been around for six years, if I'm not mistaken Pacific,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: and they've been around for quite a long time, so
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: they know how to do this stuff, how to do
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: a game day and how to So I'm observing those
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: things and asking questions. And by the way, you know,
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: I know we like rivalries, we like that stuff, but man,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: those Pacific crew were amazing, all of them, all the
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: way from our ownership down, giving us tours, talking to us,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: because you trained the day before, giving us insights. You
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: need that. Remember, guys, this is our first that was
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: our first game ever in our history, and on the nineties,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: our first game ever in our province. And so there's
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: a lot swirling around. So my head's about I'm thinking
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: about a million different things except the football, because the
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: guys that are supposed to think about the football, coaching
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: and the spoiling direction and the president and the players
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: are doing the job. They're training every day of the week,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: They're doing everything they're supposed to do every day of
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: the week to do the job. So my only worry
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: again is injury because I'm an older dude and I
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: have kids, and I see these guys in there, I
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: know they're athletes. Anybody who follows football, that's what you
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: think about. You don't want to getting hurt. That's it.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: That's my only think on that, because I believe every
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: time these kids hit the pitch, so those players hit
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: the pitch, they're gonna be on full throttle and they're
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: gonna be doing what they're supposed to do. So my
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: mind is on everything else that I think I need
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: to be thinking about, and hopefully, you know, it sort
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: of comes together. And then also that the first game
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: ever in our history was out of town, which probably
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: was the best thing that ever happened on a nerve's
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: sort of standpoint. It also gave myself, Roco Matteo Shaddy,
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: who is the team who runs the team manager, an
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: opportunity to actually watch the football because we're pretty right,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: when you're in your own hometown, you're hosting, yeah, right,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: so it'll be a different, completely different thing when you're
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: you're in your house, you know, in your house, versus
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: when you're away.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: Well, when you think that, like it kind of like
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: plays a bit too advantage that you don't have the
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: home nerves for your first game. It's like first game
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: of the season, it's like, all right, we're here, we're
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: in an environment where people don't really know us, you know,
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: or like like we don't have to please the crowd,
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: we have to disappoint the crowds. You don't have to
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: worry about, you know, making a mistake or whatnot. So
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: you think that probably played a little bit of a
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: factor for the psychological aspects for a player.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: I would think so. But I don't think anybody ever
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: wants to make a mistake. But I would, I would go, no, no,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: I didn't, you know what I mean, Like, yeah, but
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: my uh I, I for sure think that plays into it.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: But if you think about it on the on the
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: reverse side, when you're playing at home for your home
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: people and everbody's screaming and cheering for you, you can
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: to be jacked like you're gonna be way more zipped up.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: You're gonna want to perform at an even higher level.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: So I again, like I said, I don't think we've
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: seen anything yet.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: We're almost there, Paul, We're almost there, yeah, right, A
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: couple of days away. A couple of days away. And
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: that's kind of again another perfect segue.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: I think, guys, you see I'm saying.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: Paolo, Guys, if anybody doesn't know, Paolo does this for
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: a living, so we can we can tell right that
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: this guy's a professional.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Six ninety first half this this guy is a pro,
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: and we appreciate his time tonight.
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: But so to continue on this another perfect segue you've
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: been mentioning, right, it's it's gonna be a whole different
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: atmosphere when it's in our own backyard, when it's at home.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: That game will be taking place this Sunday, April nineteenth,
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: accepts two pm in the rain. I guess hopefully this weather,
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: this Montreal weather, we don't know. But listen, we're from
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: from here, so wait, we expect this, right, But just again, Paul,
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: if you just want to lay it out for what's
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: I guess to be expected for people that are going
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: to be in attendance. I saw when it was a
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: lot yesterday, maybe a couple of days ago. Eighty percent
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: of the tickets have been sold. Probably as this comes out,
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: it'll probably be closer to ninety, if not more, I
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: would I would assume if you just want to lay
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: out what to expect, just your your thoughts on opening
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: day at home for Sisupra first time in their history.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: So FC Okay, So the way I see this on
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: a personal note are the personal connections that will be there.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: It's going to be very special, you know, even just
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: for me on a personal level, having my family there
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: is going to be just an exceptionally unique moment again
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: for the first time ever here in Quebec, and I
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: feel that everybody sort of has that very personal, deep
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: connection to some people that are going to be there.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: But what people are going to expect is, I think
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: an extremely high level of energy. I think they're going
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: to be I don't think they know what to expect,
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: to be honest, because no one's really ever seen these
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: boys playing. But let's be serious, right, training camp doesn't
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: show it like preseason that you've seen them maybe on TV,
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: but you didn't, you weren't there. It's just not the
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: same thing. And so I think what's gonna happen is
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: you're going to be like, oh my gosh, that's not
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: what I was expecting. I wasn't expecting that strength, that speed,
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: that energy, that those tactics, the calm demeanor of the
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: coaching staff and all of those guys, but also how
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: many people they're gonna if they're there, how many people
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: they are going to meet, because there's gonna be a
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: lot of that supra ecosystem and family. They're making this
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: whole event happen with the amazing people that you invested
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: in Atcepts them, right. I mean, this is very much
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: a collaborative project in the sense where we're leaning on
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: their people for our first ever home game. They've been
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: phenomenal with us, and we have this amazing, you know,
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: super team, like I said earlier on twenty four hours
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: a day working super hard to make it happen. But
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: so they work super hard. Sorry, by the way, lines
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: itself up for all of this stuff.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: We love it and we love it.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's a dad joke. Heaven this is gonna be.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: And then there's a tailgate two hours before outside where
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: there's there's all the cool stuff and you know, this
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: will be the first opportunity to see some of the
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: elements and pieces that they're going to get to see
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: when they come to us at Laval, right because again,
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: and we're super fortunate, are you know, we're in the
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: same stadium with the Roses, so that's really cool. So
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: there's you know, the real home of football is there
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: that they in their year two. So we're very happy
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: and very you know, proud to be there. So you're
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: gonna get elements of of what it looks like in
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Leval here at Sepsom, So you know, you get to
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: meet partners, you'll get to meet there'll be activations. The
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: merchroom will be merch finally to be it's not that finally,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: but it's it's not in a store now, it's there.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: So when you go to a game, you can pick
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: up merch right versus you having to go to a shop. Yeah,
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: the guys at Evangelista are retail partners, legends in the game,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: right of course. Yeah, it's like you couldn't be more blessed.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: This is what I'm saying, Like, there's just this so
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: many really super cool pieces that have come together here
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: to make all of this work. And then so after
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: you've done the tailgate, then you're gonna move your way
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: up into into the game. And then at the game
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: there's there's food and there's beverage, and there's music and
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: there's you know, really good stuff going on with the MC.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: We've got people kicking football like it's just some really
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: cool stuff. I don't want to. I don't want to
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: say it all because what I don't want to ruin anything.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: There's one or two surprises and some little fun stuff.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: And again like what I what I keep trying to
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: say is Montrealers Again. I know, I sorry, guys, I
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: know this is listened to other places. We are specifically
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: a team from from Quebec and well, but you know
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Quebecer's and Montrealers and you know people from the province.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: We expect our teams to win. We expect our teams
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: to go very hard. And when our teams aren't doing well,
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: we get mad at them, and when they're doing really well,
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: we put them on pedestals. This is very clear in
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: this province. This is, this isn't I'm sure it's like that.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: A lot of it's tough here, man, like, if you're
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: not doing it right, you're in trouble. But if you
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: explain to everybody what the project is, if you explain
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: to everybody what you're trying to achieve, if you also
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: explain to everybody that this isn't the Premier League, or
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: this is in city, or this isn't the MLS or
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: this is but these are important pieces and I'm not
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: saying that to dumb anything down, because this is this
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: is the is the pro level. What I'm what I'm
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: trying to say is your experience, let's say, at the
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: Bell Center, or your experience at a different stadium, and
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: then you come to you know, to the stadium that
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: we're at and what we're doing, you know, five thousand
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: and twenty one, it's not the same thing. Yeah, right,
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: And I say and I say that because when you
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: get there, you're gonna be blown away. You're gonna be
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: blown away. You can be I'm telling you, gonna be
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: blown away. And so you've got to remember that, like
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: for what you know, for where we are, for what
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: it is, for what we can do. I think it's
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: just gonna be. People are just gonna be like you know,
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: they're gonna go crazy and go crazy. And then we've
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: got our our supporters groups coming, you know, finally you're
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: gonna get to meet our you know, our our proper supporters.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: It's our mod is the name of the crew. Like
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: you know, those guys are doing their thing. First time
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: club already has some supporters, you know, doing their things
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: and working on like what is this? This is like
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: bizarro world, right, Like, I mean, think, think about all this.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: This is what I'm saying. We're just we're super blessed.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Don't take anything for granted. To keep our heads down
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: and do Everybody does their job. I think we have
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: a chance.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: One last question before we'll let you go, Paul.
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: How much time we have? We have you still have?
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: What are we doing? We have ten questions to go?
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: Good question? More question?
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Uh so you're the chief branding officer. Talk to us
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: about some of the branding that you've done with the club.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know if you were part of the
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: logo design, the colors. I know Rock is a good
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: story about the colors, but yeah, tell us what that means.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: What chief branding officer does? What do you do at
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: the club?
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: Who the hell knows? How's that for an answer? Yeah,
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm I was involved with the jersey design,
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: the logo. Actually I was not involved with the design
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: of the logo. I had input, but we actually had
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: a very very cool designer out of the US, European
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: based who's got some very big footballing experience, helped put
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: that together and and bring the you know, the the
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: old logo to life within the within the new badge,
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: everything from the social media content to working with our partners,
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: working with our community build, just keeping keeping our message
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: on track, you know, meeting with probably too many people
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: at this point to keep spreading the gospel is really
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: what the job is about. In this particular case, I'm
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: involved on at the beginning here for game day stuff,
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: you know, to help with that with some other much
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: more talented people than myself, but just to make sure
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: that game day is an exciting experience. Again, none of them,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: let's be clearer, right, everything is a team effort. There's
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: it's very very sporty, but I'm not I know, I
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: sound like I'm being an idiot, and it's all a
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: team effort. But it's like I kid you not, there's
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: there's nobody who's talking to you that's involved in a
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: professional football team that isn't pulling this off with the team,
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: right the zero chance zero. And so my job is
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: to just wrangle as much as I can, support as
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: much as I can, put my input where I can
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: when it comes to whatever whatever pretend vision I have
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: uh to support the you know, the the top line
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: vision from from Rocco is what I do and so far,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: so good. Maybe I'll have a different opinion. I like
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: what we've done so far. I like what the team's
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: done so far. I'm very proud. I'm I'm extremely I'll
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: be honest, I'm actually extremely proud of what's happened because
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: we kicked our we kicked the football for the first
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: time last weekend. But I've been in your face for
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: the We've been in your face for the last year. Right,
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: So think about that for a second, right, So think
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: about how hard the teams work to get information out,
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: visions out, Uh, what the story is about, the message.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: Everything that's gone on last weekend was the first time
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: you've seen these kids in the kids kicking a football's
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: for a second, right, So that's what So that's the role.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: No, listen, Paul, it's mind bowing.
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: And one thing I just want to before we really
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: wrap it up here, because I know we're on a
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: time crunch.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: It's just the connection between uh.
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: You know, obviously, you can you can preach the gospel,
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: you can say it, you can do it, you know, Okay, yeah, community, community, community,
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: but you guys are actually being accessible to the community
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: and on our end, that's something that I know us
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: as you know, cultural content creators.
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: You know, we we appreciate and just uh the bond,
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: the friendship, the you know, the the the availability.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: It's something that on our end, I know it doesn't
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: go unnotice and I know on a lot of other
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: people's ends it doesn't go unnoticed. So that's just one
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: thing I want to just put in there just before
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: we kind of wrap this up, just because it's it's
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: it's super appreciative because we don't see that very often
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: with in a professional setting. So you know, you guys
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: are preaching the gospel, but you guys are you guys
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: are you know you're talking to talk, but you're walking
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: the walk as well.
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: And I think that's it's it's only the beginning.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: We're hopeful to to be on the the riots as
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: this goes along. You know, we know we'll be there this.

• 49:11
  Speaker 2: There we go in the sunshine and mark my words,
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: it is going to rain a bit in the morning. Yeah,
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: it will stop for football and then it'll start up
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: at the end.

• 50:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's how we need you to support us,

• 50:32
  Speaker 2: If you can buy some merch, awesome, But buying a
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: ticket funds the whole project. And it's not just that.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: I what do you want? You want to be in
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: a stadium with some people? You want to be in
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: a stadium with a bunch of lunatics losing their mind,
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: kicking off, you know, cold smoke, screaming some stuff in
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: your face, And I mean that would love, you know,
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: like exciting, Like you don't want to go to a
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: stadium that's got it's smooth. You want to go to
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: a stadium that's rocking and rolling and it's got the
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: boys at heart and everybody's freaking out and cheering for
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: the team. So we need you there right like this
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: really is what we need. And so I say it
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: with that It always like makes my stomach like turn
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: a little bit, like to say, please get tickets. But
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: that's how you support, You support because your bodies are in,
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: your bums are on the seats, you're having a snack,
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: maybe you're getting some merch, you're screaming and cheering and
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: you're getting to know the team. So this is the
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: other thing. You don't get to know anybody until you've
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: met them face to face. This is great, but we
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: know each other. We've met each other face to face. Yeah,
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: you know more than enough. So there's a different energy.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: It's a different report. And then when you see the
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: boys on TV or you see them in a commercial,
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: you see them somewhere on socials, you're like, yeah, I
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: have a completely different connection to that person. It's not
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: a fake one where it's usually the inverse, right, You're
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: you're seeing them on TV or you're seeing them on
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: your socials or whatever, and you never see it live.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: It's not the same thing, man, Like, it's not. And
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: so that's the pitch. You go to the CPL Canaane
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: Premier League's website, you go to any of our socials.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: Everything links to where you can get the tickets. You know,
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: anyway you can support that. That's the way it's spreading
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: the word. Right, when somebody watches your show, if they
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: if they reshow this amazing. It works for you, it
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: works for us, all of these things. I mean that
• 52:17

• 52:21
  Speaker 2: the sales. It's you get where I'm going with this,
