"Created last year had to come off like a 16 pass build up. Now it's a little bit more free flowing. It's been interesting to watch. I'm not sure they're going to be good enough defensively, playing this style. I think it exposes them to the counter. And I think it's going to ask for more creativity from their full backs than they're necessarily going to be able to get. It's also going to ask for better box movement from Ferrera and velasco, which not their strong suit. But it's interesting. It tells me at least that Niko has to solve the problem down the stretch last year and is willing to try stuff to address it. On the flip side, sporting Kansas City. We had questions about their defense. They've given up one goal three games. We didn't have many questions about their attack, but they have forgotten how to do anything except cross the wall. The crossing, it's not Charlotte levels of bad, and it's not Austin versus violette levels of bad, but they are settling for so many crosses, which is insane when your center forward is 5 foot 8. And none of your wingers are the type to get onto the end of crosses. Like they have to start playing Peter Vermeer soccer again. Which is just in the attack, it has not been evident at all. It's crosses in its shots from outside the box. So again, it goes back to settling. They're leading the league and shots outside the box. I think I'll only have the box, shall we had success sort of in that area? And Tommy has two. But everything right now from shallow east specifically is slow. Like when he's confident. Yeah, when he's confident, everything is sharp and now he's allowing defenders to recover. I think I felt like I saw a lot of that, all the zero zero size blend together. Maybe it was the Colorado game, maybe it was the galaxy game, but it felt like

"Against them. They are playing very, dirty football, and I don't think they deserve points ever. Ever. Just the way he's looking at the interviewer too, and just sort of being like, no, never, never. And I have an intimate knowledge of that sort of logic given I'm raising two children at the age of 5 and two right now. Shout out to Daniel Shaw, we for that one. So if you have anything like that, hit us on the email, extremity, we'll start dot com or tweet them at us or tweet them at Anders, sports Viking. In the CCL fever, we go. But first, congratulations to the Seattle sounders, much like the U.S. Canada and Mexico. They've qualified for something without actually doing any qualification efforts. They are now in the 2025 Club World Cup. They've invented qualifying for that competition out of MLS, whether they're winning cap champion zig or just getting the golden ticket. It's now been confirmed by the federation that the winners of 2021 so that's month today. 2022, 23 and 24, the CCO competitions will qualify for the expanded 2025 Club World Cup and congratulations to nuhu, who has signed a contract extension to be available for the occasion in 2025. The sounders had to just lock that one up, make sure knew who was available. Any thoughts on this, guys, or are we just, I guess we could pipe in on this here? Auto qualifying for past performance to a competition we've never seen before? Yes. I think I feel good on that. Let me ask this. We'll probably do this in a moment. If LAFC wins wins CCL, they just need to make the playoffs and the 12 month span is the best in MLS history, right? I think so, yeah. Like to make the playoffs basically to win the win the double to win the double, then win CCL, then just make the playoffs. Yeah, you've had the best 12 month run. What if an MLS history? What's the right strategy for given the expansion of the playoffs? And the fact that it's three games, like if you get into the three games, would you like to host to a 1000% you would at up to your odds of advancing significantly, I would think we don't know yet. We haven't played it. But if you are Steve to run alone LAFC and you let's say you win CCL, like knock on wood a thousand times here.

"So ESPN+, as always, your spot for me, because the next one is Bruce yanking our chain on this podcast. Bruce arena. David David was very magnanimous and Bruce was very Bruce. He was like, oh yeah, no, for sure, yeah. Everything I know. I get from this podcast exactly, guys. Yeah, yeah. And then that was in Bruce came back into the fold and was like, I'm gonna be nice to meet you now. And now he is quite, I mean, I've had some of the best, we had an entertaining on the world. He always has been, but he had a kind of a grumpiness to him for a long time. I think just, you know, the symptom of dealing with folks like us on a regular basis, probably. But now he seems to be, he seems to be settled in. When we had him on the World Cup shows back in November and December, he was like a guest for the watch alongs. He was absolutely fantastic. And it's not just he was fantastic on the shows and like anybody who knows Bruce arena knows he has this sort of dry sardonic wit that is wildly entertaining, but there were tech issues and he was so game to try to troubleshoot these tech issues to the best. He was so nice to all the ops people behind the scenes and he was an absolute joy. He was. He was. We owe him a couple drinks at shellbacks. If that's still a place that he frequents in the off season. And then of course the final one is Jack Edwards calling Clint Mathis 2002 World Cup goal against South Korea. That's why he's here. And that clip has been in our intro for, I mean, forever, maybe? I don't remember a time, Dave, and you used to put these together back in the day before Anders did it. I think that's been here forever, and I don't think it'll ever go away. I was before me. And it's not the cleanest clip to find. The only version of it that exists is from a sizzle reel that you can find online and it has music behind it. So you have to cut it super clean and then the music we use kind of covers it up. But it's legendary moment. And it's Jack Edwards on the call who did the whole two O two World Cup. I think he did the 98 World Cup as well and is a famous hockey announcer. In the northeast in Boston. But yeah, it was a great moment. When I listened to the show and college and wanted to be a part of it and downloaded every episode, that's what I connected the show with. So I kept it in there forever. Has it lived up to your expectations, David? Being on the show. You know what's funny? The first time this is going all the way back. But when I joined, it was Simon Borg Nick for Andrew WB and then Greg lawless a bit. And if you had asked me listening to the podcast to draw those characters, I would have drawn Simon as Greg and Greg has Simon. Like the way they looked was the opposite of the way they sounded. That's fascinating. Yeah. Never thought about it that way. Simon barged the legend. I still remember if we're going back on memories here.

"I was like, well, yeah. So don't you don't need to do it. No. It's just, I mean, it's very I mean, I don't need to try already no, it's not a very comfortable application. You want one of the reasons this person was saying it's great is because you get all the products you applied, but you actually want the beauty value to absorb some of it, because you don't want too much on it. So I actually do like the sort of paint and painting my face sort of gesture. And then how do you do under your eyes? It's too aggressive under your eyes and on your eyelid and in a corner are you supposed to do? I was like, I thought it was a mess. Yeah. Yeah. Yep, agreed. What's your writer die all time favorite red lipstick you've been wearing for forever? So before my own, it was the number one deep stain from Sephora. That I really, really adored beautiful colors, super wearable, very comfortable. Mine, I'm going to say, honestly, I don't want to sound biased, but I've been dreaming of it since I'm 8 years old. Once I saw a black rose in the garden in Paris, I was so mesmerized with like, okay, I need to make this as a lipstick and so finally I did it. So it's my favorite by far. Otherwise, and I'm not saying that because I work with Ghana, but I remember one you know when I sign my contract with them, they sent me the big launch of the year and let me tell you, I was so nervous because I didn't work on it. And I'm such a crazy person. We formulated colors. I was like, why if I don't like it? There's no way I can promote it. I can't, I can not. What am I going to do? So I was like, okay, don't freak out, don't think about it yet, just get to formulate it and see. That was so nervous and when I applied it was so good. That was so real. I was like, oh my God, thank you. Honestly, that's the rouge, I believe, right? Exactly. The format is incredible because it's light, perfectly. It slides glides on your lips, but it drops a perfect amount of pigment. So it's very like the first guy you're like, oh, wow. And he's so comfortable to wear the colors of gorgeous, but we're going to do even more gorgeous scholars. But yeah, definitely definitely yeah, this one is amazing. I have a friend's mom who is always asking, not always asking. She's very polite. She's like, do you have any more of those girls on lipsticks? So violette, tell us what your biggest indulgence is. Indulges is like guilty pleasure. Yeah. Like a luxury you enjoy. Oh, okay, 'cause I was like, I don't have guilty pleasure. Yeah, I have guilt. I mean, to be honest, it's really simple things because I launched a brand and had a baby sort of the same time because I built my brand when I was pregnant. And you know I went from being alone with my boyfriend at the time that became my husband, but alone with the freelance job. So extremely free, traveling the world and doing all these things and I got like drown a drowned with work, the amount of work and then having a baby is a big shift in your lifestyle. So I feel like I've age four years in one year. Now, my pleasure, taking a bath with a glass of wine and listening to classical music in the background or reading a book because I can read one book a year now instead of one a month. So honestly, that's really it. I would say I gave myself a Christmas gift. I was like, you know what? I'm gonna make these ritual. No? Yes. I think it was a pair of shoes from Chanel. And it's definitely very expensive. So it's a treat. I was like, okay, maybe I'll buy one pair of shoes from Chanel every Christmas from now on. I like this ritual. Vision board. I'm with you. Maybe I'll join you. In our last question, what's next for violet? The person or the makeup line. So the beauty line, we have elephant launches this year. Wow. Oh my gosh, it gives me like a lot. Where'd she go? So yeah, we have a lot of things happening this year. On a personal level, I think I would like to grow my family. I'm a bit scared also because we just reached this amazing balance right now. It took us two and a half years to get there. And he wasn't torture anything, but now I can feel like, oh, I feel like I have my life back a bit. But it's really my dream, so yeah, that's where my thoughts are. I'm growing the family and growing the business. And more than growing the business, I didn't have time to position the brand where I really wanted to be because I did everything on my own and then I raised money and then COVID happened and everything shut down and I hired people in zoom and it was such a mess. And so we launched and then it was much bigger success at what we thought it was, so I had to raise money again to buy inventory and get a bigger team to help support me and so I didn't have time to work on the details that really mattered to me. So that's really my big goal for this year is to be able to tell the.

"Beauty podcast violet. I feel like you've become completely synonymous with the French girl aesthetic. You're like the national spokesperson. So tell us, what does that mean to you? How would you define the French girl look? So it's funny because when I moved to the U.S., I had an agent then and told press magazine that now I was leaving there. So I guess started to raise a little bit awareness on my profile and so I had to have a lot of interviews and all of them were about French beauty, but I was so confused. I was like, what do they mean French beauty, whether they mean French look? Because that's all I use. I have no idea. So I walked in New York in the parks in the subway looking looking looking and trying to absorb like a punch and understand American culture, but what I'd love about New York is not just American. It's so diverse. So the people who leave their are basically. I watched a lot of content as well. YouTube to understand a little bit the trends, et cetera. And then I started to realize that it was actually very different, especially that at the time it was this sort of huge buzz around the contouring this Instagram logs with like the perfect eyebrows and the layers of foundation and the baking and all this. And as a makeup artist, of course, I was aware of it because that's not you. Keep you probably the one who created it years ago. And so of course I was aware of this technique, but I never used those techniques. And so I was, I was really like, wow, that's so different. So then I started to understand, okay, French girls don't really put foundation. We definitely don't do contouring. Of course, it's exceptional. Everywhere, but mostly. We don't wear full slashes, we like our brows. She and not too perfect. When we do smokey eyes, they have to be a little bit unperfect. Like it's been worn and so once identify the differences, I try to understand why is that because I'm not a big fan of questions like that where it's just replying of a look, then what does that give you? It doesn't inspire you in a way. Just give you a little bit of tips and tricks. So I really wanted to understand if she loves you, that brings us to create this static in order to feed you with this and make you inspired to not think you are mimicking a French girl but you are owning that aesthetic as well. Does that make sense when I'm trying to say? I know what you're saying though. It's like a state of mind, right? Like I always have always felt that one thing that I do admire about French women is just that there is kind of a casual confidence where it's not trying too hard. You know what I mean? And I think that's maybe what you're referring to. Exactly. And I think the reason why it's interesting to look and understand why we create those different types of looks is because it tells you a story about the lifestyle and how to leave that exactly maybe what you actually attracted to, but you don't know. You just see the first layer. And so what I'd like to do, those years of starting both cultures is I really was able to kind of see through it like the metrics. Now I have to sort of exercise to take you through it and you start with. So have you walked in the street of berries before? Yes. Of course. Yes. Have you seen any people walking with coffee to go in the street? Only baguettes in the bicycle basket. Cool girls are always eating the baguette in the street. Happy. Yes. So that's to me, that's where it starts. And in New York City, every single person has a drink to go. We actually gonna sit down and if you observe during spring like warmer weather, all the tiers of the cafes are full with people with the shot of express. So in a book. I think that's really where the lifestyle philosophy of life has an impact on the study as well because the way we live in France is we want to be happy. That's all we care about. And we are very sensual person because our senses triggers emotions and makes us feel very alive. So we love good wine. We love good sex, sorry, but that's true. We love we love good smells. We love beautiful things for our eyes. Like we are very sensitive to all these things because that's the way for us to feel ourselves and enjoy life. And so what does that mean is that we're not going to spend too much time enough bathroom because we want to be out there and enjoy. We don't want to have a look that feel too stiff on us. Like maybe even hair extension, what if somebody wants to grab a like, put your hand or her hand in your hair and, you know, Keith had that wild fact, you know? Exactly. If you have more extension, you could have, oh my gosh, you gotta be very self passionate. So if fosters, we have to remove all these things. So we are like, listen, I want to be happy, I want to enjoy life. I want to be out there. So I don't want anything to restrain me from all of this. And also parallel to this, the thinking is, we have a very irreverent relationship to ourselves in a way to accept self acceptance. So, for example, we are who we are and we are raised most of us with this thought that we are one perfect and being different is being unique and being unique is being irreplaceable. So who you are is perfect the way it is. And if somebody doesn't like that person, you are, then good riddance. It's good to know almost. You're like, okay, I find we don't need to be together. And then you start to accept who we are and these self acceptance are quite irreverent. Attracts like a magnet people that are ready to love you for you. And that also helps you with your aesthetic. Maybe you don't need foundation. Maybe these dark circles you have actually cool. It makes you look a little bit more dramatic. So that's the kind of that has an impact.

"She was announced as the creative director of Guillermo's makeup. But the pivotal moment in violette's career came no doubt with the launch of her own line at violet F heir, named after her Instagram account that launched just this past year. Good French carlene. So for us anglophones, that's violette FR. It's how it's spelled. Violets namesake line. It was three years in the making, and it's a very tight curation of 11 products, including some very cool zo paint. I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly. That's kind of strongly for eye paint. And they're these liquid eye shadows and liners in one, so they're highly pigmented. They're meant to be worn either graphically like a cat eye or you can smudge them in with your fingers very cool, very it's ideal for us lazy slash busy types. You know what I mean? You want to be on the go, but you want to look good. Damn good. Yeah, they're very multi purpose, I would say in each eye paint is around $38, just to give you guys an idea. And I think that no detail has been spared. I mean, the gold embossing on the lids, just everything has that artist touch, which I really appreciate it and it makes it so much more enjoyable to use. And I think it's just that luxurious vibe, but it's accessible and effortless, all at once, leave it to violet. And everything in the line is environmentally conscious, cruelty free and vegan, chill, I know you mentioned this line popped off so fast that they actually met their first month's sales goals within the first day that it went on sale. So I think people were just chomping at the bit for violet to launch her online. Yeah, the demand was definitely there.

Fourteen was the last date i saw when i looked okay so that would be seven years. Something something happened.

I'm not very savvy with these things because in theory at least i should be able to access it no matter where i am in no matter what i'm using so i haven't done a lot with it but if i usually tell people exactly what's going on.

Your job is to argue with each other not to get me to persuade one of you to do something you know but that doesn't happen very often and as i say it's often to do with the cover art but yeah i had i've had people i'm always surprised when i'm a con- like a world con- where they they they give you your autographing times and i'm always surprised that people come with books to be autographed and i think you know surely by the fifth or six time that that happened i would stop being surprised and yet no.

They understand you know they. They know that there is such a thing but they think it's something the french do you know. Because it's a french word. Yes yes so. It must be something the french do.

I want lived near her and she learned that i was going to a mystery conference in convention in toronto and her agent joshua bill billeness was also going to be there so she arranged for us to meet and so my work was submitted to draw the not not not until like two years later but joshua became my age and he's handled all my stuff says then you had several since then you have a new one coming out think august third is other they stay. I think so. i think so. It's usually the first tuesday or something. So i never really sure this will get this live just about the same time that comes out. So that's great so we'll start talking about your creative process and all your books but you know we'll talk about the new ones especially so maybe the place to start then because this starts a new series for you doesn't well. Yeah i so far. There's only two books. So i kind of hesitate to call it a series. So there's the first book is the gods stone and the second book which is the one. I'm writing right now and it does not have a title is basically a follow up to the god stone whether they're going to be any further stories set in this universe depends on a number of factors some of which are not under my control. So you know. Obviously i would need to come up with an idea. That's undermined control but other more practical more pragmatic factors are not under my control. Oh yes no. Yes but okay well. We'll we'll call it a geology for now them but maybe the best place to start is with a synopsis of the first one without giving away anything. You don't want to get away. I'm really really terrible at synopsys. I mean give me an elevator pitch then something even worse at those on. Somebody one of the reviews. I think it was either the reviewing qurqus or the review in publishers. Weekly i when. I read the review. I thought that is the most brilliant synopsis off the book i have ever heard. I've experienced that too or the review were really nailed it. Yeah so yes indeed you know i actually used it because the cover the cover copy that i had sent to. Aw a year ago or more When they sent me the galleys at the proofs. And i i read the cover copy. And i thought i thought you guys were going to fix. This was terrible. And then i thought well you know i a combination of this stuff that i wrote eighteen months ago and this wonderful old synopsis in this review. If i could kind of mush those two things together you know. I would have a great great cover stuff. So that's in fact what i did. So but you're serious. You actually want me to well. I think we should tell people something about the book before we start talking about it. So this is There are two main characters. One is is Female character in the other is arlen and fenra is a practitioner and i- practitioner is. What we in our universe would call a magician. Or sorcerer and So they.

"So i tend to feel that way myself like. I'm always a little astonished when people say oh like the categorize things a little too much for me. I think most people do it myself. Probably a little bit. But philip sidney and he wrote an essay on the defence of poetry and in his day there were two genres. There was poetry. And there was pros and i was gonna say the only creative writing class i took and university are. Our book was called three genres and it was poetry prose and plays. Those are what they did. It expanded it out one more so even than i remember reading i thought genre fiction was what i like to read and write but here well of course what what what sydney met by poetry was anything fictional so for him. Drama entered into him and things pros was nonfiction so it didn't have to rhyme for it to be poetry. It just had to be non. It had to be fiction. Seems like probably a reasonable division things actually basically nonfiction and fiction. You know when you think about it. You realize that at that time. They didn't have first of all. They can have anywhere near the number of readers you know. The percentage of the population who could actually read was considerably less than five percent. So whatever books there were those were the books you read because there weren't that many more in fact that's another reason that i liked the eighteenth century is it's the last century in which people could have read every book available to of course any book translated into english any book that was in latin or greek if they could read latin or greek every single book available. You could read it in your lifetime and that hasn't been true for hasn't been true since fan. I guess there was a period of time when you could have read every single science fiction book. I think so. I think when i was a kid you almost could have but now.

"I was really disappointed. So i didn't read anymore but i read. Oh i read in the fantasy line. of course i've read nesbitt. I read done seyni. I read when i got older. I read the pre raphaelite. S- because i had to do a course in pre late eighteenth late nineteenth century poetry so i read a lot. That tennyson always my favorite. But you know it's it's stupid. I know that i was reading other things but at the moment my mind is blank. I'd sort the same way. I i read a million books but trying to suddenly pick them up at the same problem but it you started writing almost right away then did you well. I didn't write things down. But what i do is i told stories and i think as also i think fairly common with a lot of writers you start off by telling other people's stories because you realize that your your friends at school have not seen the arrow. Flynn movie with about robin hood. Because their fathers are not you know massive errol flynn fans so they don't know the story of robin hood so you tell it to them so it's kind of storytelling thing because you learn You learn the beats. You learn things that are that because you're actually watching people's faces you learn the parts that they find interesting you can tell so if you go to tell the story again. You're telling it in a kind of edited way because you know that this particular piece of the story went over big last time and that piece didn't so i think that's what i started off doing was was telling other people's stories and because there's a limit to how much you can read when your ten or eleven years old though again. It doesn't seem that way looking back on. it eventually. Have to start making up your own stories because you're running out of things that your friends haven't heard of. So where did you start writing things down..

Thank you think. And we did like some browns and champagne and just a little pop of light. Pink from native cherry pallet. Just a little pop. Because they didn't want it in too much pink 'cause she is fair skinned but anyway this glitter primer since i did whatever the champagne color of the modern renaissance pellet was on her lead. Obviously her skin and my skin are very different textures. Because we're at different stages in our aging journey and this primer kept the glitter on her. I all day and it was so cool because it gripped to both of our skins just the same and i recommend this primer to literally everyone. Because i am obviously if you've been here when i've been on the podcast. I always talk about glitter. Big finish over here. So i have to have something that makes it stick because clearly i buy a lot of it. So genius genius idea mixes the fallout issue.

So what you're saying. does it feel it. Can you feel that you have something on your lid not once not want to put a powder over it but when it's on your list it feels just the same as last clue where you like eyelids. And you're like lord. I'm stuck someone okay. So then you get your shadow on their locked and oh yeah i sure have to put something. That's i guess it's fine. For chunky glitter. My fear fused chunky glitter over. It is the small peeks of your skin has it on. that doesn't have good on top of it. That might stay a little sticky. But that's how it works. That's how you know it's a good primers at sticking. Oh good point. Good point Outdoor episode with the fauria make donnie cool good episode but like yeah she was talking also about like that. You need to take when you're doing shimmering glittery okay. I should try that. That's a good one. I got so excited about yours. I forgot for a second. What i was i was gonna ask.
