Hello Colorado Rapids fans. Merry Christmas Eve. This is Matt Pollard. I'm typing this podcast intro from the 38th floor of the Cash Register Building at Lincoln and 17th downtown. Josh Kroenke and I are playing Christmas Eve Hide-And-Go-Slide-Tackle. He hasn't found me yet, but I've found him. Any Who(Ville), here's that Chris Armas interview we've been promising you.

I sat down with Chris this past Wednesday for an hour. We discuss recent happenings at the club, his upbringing in soccer and in life, his soccer philosophies, that loss to Atlanta United in the 2018 playoffs, and much more. This interview was humanizing and encouraging. We hope you enjoy it.

Just a warning, Chris says a few naughty words. Also, there's some maintenance in the background, so  apologies if you hear some random clanging in the distance.

Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. We'll see you in January.
