Welcome to Soccer 101, the podcast where we tackle the questions you never thought you had today.

We're talking about the soundtrack to the beautiful game that augments the television viewing experience soccer

commentary. We're looking at its reason for being, its history, its legendary moments,

and some of our favorite examples. Joining me to do so, maybe holding one of those commentary

microphones really close to his mouth right now, Taylor Rockwell. I do want to try those. I've

never used them before. They always seem very strange to me that you have to hold them right up to your mouth. I guess it removes all other noise except for gross mouth noise and the things you're saying. Yeah. And what I wonder, do you know they have that flat bit on the top? If you've got a mustache, does it comb it? That should be an optional feature to the microphone yes indeed maybe a graham rudman is here

do you have an answer to that graham yeah i don't think i'm needing the mustache comber mic

anytime soon maybe in a few years but uh yeah it's i have to say it's something i have not thought

about before those mics are pretty peculiar.

Yeah.

I think Manscape need to make a microphone slash trumer of some.

So what do you think, Joe Lowry?

I think that could have some alternate uses.

But yeah, I think for what we're talking about here, that can work out really well.

But again, just not for Graham.

Excellent stuff.

Let's move on swiftly from that comment.

We're talking about Sockle commentary.

I'd like to go around the group before we start and ask if we actually like Sockoff

commentary as a theme.

I will say I do.

I appreciate it as an art form.
