0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Dancing with a stranger on one or two point seven.

0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Kiss them. Hey, we were talking about this. John McCarthy

0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:09.840
<v Speaker 1>goalkeeper for l A f C. Big big game, big

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>win over the weekend um zero goals and three attempts.

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:17.000
<v Speaker 1>He comes in second string. They go right after the

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>goal one on one. He makes the save. L A

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 1>f C goes on to win their first ever MLS Cup.

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:26.119
<v Speaker 1>John McCarthy comes in off the bench. I think he

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>played only one other game. Take a listen. The reason

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I bring us up against because we finally found him

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>after a day street Craig po. He goes out of

0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>the game. McCarthy comes in a penalty specialist against this

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>former team. McCarthy is a backup goalkeeper for the team

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>one game all season, comes in, plays the final minute

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>of the championship game and becomes the m v P

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 1>in that man free agent siting. Can't win MLS Cup

0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>for l A f C with this kick. And yesterday

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:07.720
<v Speaker 1>we thought we had him, but we couldn't get his

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>phone to work. John, is that you? Yeah, I'm here.

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I can't tell you know the fun of doing a

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>live show is just that sometimes it works out and

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>other times our engineer has to stand in to answer

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 1>the questions we had for you, and uh, yeah, I

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know what's going on my phone in the service

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 1>right now, but well I heard you're at your parents place.

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>You're with your parents, Yeah, my parents are out here

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>at my place and got it. Well, hey, you've had

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.760
<v Speaker 1>a chance to let it sink in. Now, how are

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 1>you feeling? Congratulations, I'm tired. It's a surreal feeling. It

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>hasn't like, hasn't truly funking yet. I don't know when

0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>I will, but it's just an amazing hours. John, Here's

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>what I'm fascinated with when it comes to human beings,

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:10.640
<v Speaker 1>how we handle pressure differently. Okay, no matter what we do.

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 1>So you come in, you give up a goal, your

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 1>heart's got to be pounding, your blood's gotta be flowing.

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>You fall behind three two? What were you feeling then

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 1>to keep your composure to end up the way it did?

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean when I going and I was like, no,

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>like kind of like touched it like an extra for

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>wider like something like that, because it was just like

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>a devastating moment at the time, and I just popped

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 1>up and I wanted to show I got Mario off

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 1>the ground and just say, hey, come on, ten minutes,

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.239
<v Speaker 1>come on. None of that, I think there was not

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 1>like anything can happen um, and in a final, you

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>never know, other crazy things go on, and I was

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 1>just hoping and praying that just one more chance, one

0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.919
<v Speaker 1>more chance, and yeah, that's that's right you I mean,

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 1>allowed zero goals in three attempts. LEFC wins the title

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>in front of the crowd going nuts at Banker California Stadium.

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>That must have felt good. It was insane. It was

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>the most insane a moment of my career that I

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>could ever imagine. When Gas scored that goal, I was screaming,

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>that's probably where my voices. And then afterwards when when

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 1>my span from LA, I didn't even know that was

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:31.839
<v Speaker 1>the last one. I thought I had to go back

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>in for another one, and everybody jumped on me. Oh

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>that's awesome, man, It's so great to see the story

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and to see the excitement and the celebration. Rest up

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.320
<v Speaker 1>your voice. I just wanted to meet Jeffrey Tubbs, our engineer.

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>He played the role of you yesterday and answered some

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>of the questions. Hi, John McCarthy, how are you doing.

0:03:54.480 --> 0:04:00.880

<v Speaker 1>tell you that one of our executives sent me a text.
