Welcome to Total Soccer show on our latest foray into the listener questions mailbag.

On this episode, we're asking if a bad manager can ruin a great team.

We're picking a national team of players who've never played for their national teams and much, much more.

My name's Ryan Bailey in my echo chamber, literally, joining me today.

Taylor Rockwell, hello, Taylor. Hello, Ryan Bailey. I love your echo chamber. I'm glad to see you still there. Firmly situated in Miami, a city that I don't think I ever need to go to, but I'm glad you're there once again. Oh, that's harsh. Do you hate Will Smith? What's the problem? Kind of.

He's not the easiest person to like these days, is he?

More of a Drew Hill guy, are you?

Fair enough. Fair. Okay. All right. We can come back to that.

More than DJ Jazzy Jeff guy, if anything.

Oh, of course. Yeah.

You watch what you're saying. You keep his name out your mouth. See? Nice, nice. He's going to wrap at me awkwardly. Always being thrown out of the mansion by Uncle Phil. One of the best parts of that show. I believe except for the time that he was outside annoying Uncle Phil and I believe he was thrown into the mansion, then thrown back out of the mansion. A lovely sight gag by that show. Excellent. What a show. What a time to be alive.

My dad once asked me how I learned to be such a good dad and I without pause and unironically responded

Uncle Phil and I don't think he loved it, but, you know, truth is

truth. And that's why I threw Ryan Bailey out of every, every room we're ever in together.

Yeah, in the exact, the jazzy Jeff style. Great, Ruffin. Hello. How are you? I'm very well,

Ryan Bailey, just for a second there, I got Uncle Phil and Dr. Phil mixed up, and that's a very different answer. Yeah. So I'm relieved for you, Taylor. Presumably Uncle Phil is also Dr. Phil to someone, but not to me. Yeah. He was a judge, right? Who? Uncle Phil? Yes, he was a judge. Yeah, yeah. Also, RIPP, I believe. Sad. Judge Philip Banks? Yes, I believe RIP as well. Indeed. On that note, Joe Lowry, hello, how are you? Yeah, Joel, we add on Fresh Prince. Yes, and I know exactly what we're talking about in great detail. And I have many fun and hilarious things to add to this discussion. In West Casas, a grander born and raised the playgrounds, we spent most of your days, right? I mean, I sing that to myself every morning, just out of validation. It's just so good. I did not know fully that this was Fresh Prince that we were talking about. But I hear that they are making a remake in Casarande, so stay tuned. Nice. Very good. Stay tuned to that indeed.
