A listener is incredible, but I hope solo, when I played, there was no one else I wanted Lexi Lollison. Welcome. Hello, Sunshine. I'm Alexie Lawless, and welcome to the State of the Union podcast.

We look at the beautiful game on and off the field through the lens of red, white, and blue-colored glasses.

This show will be talking, oh, with the great Leslie Osborne.

She's going to join us to talk about the NWSL and her Bay FC ownership.

We'll also talk about the story of size the day,

Red Eyes, what we're thankful for on this Thanksgiving week, U.S. men's national team playing
