Tyler Adams, Poughkeepsie, Soccer discussed on Men In Blazers
Automatic TRANSCRIPT
With my mom with my dad with the county that I live in to find the area that that needed it most.

I mean, and that's all it is. The more that you can have that, you know, not only will the quality of players increase as well from playing a little bit of street soccer, like they have everywhere here in Europe, but it just gives them an opportunity to have fun. Roger, life insurance is not something most people like to think about because it is slightly morbid. Except on this podcast, what we've been having an ongoing debate over our funeral playlist for a power decade. That is right. We don't shy away from the grim realities of the Reaper roger and we encourage all the FOP to plan ahead, not just for funeral playlists, but
