0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Total Sucker show. My name is Darrell Grove. I'm back in Richmond,
0:23.2	back in the studio. I'm joined by a man who gets the gold medal for airport sprinting.
0:27.8	His name is Taylor Rockwell. Hello. Hello. I like that. I like the golden analogy because I feel like it's
0:33.9	a representative of Superman getting his power from the sun. Darrell apparently gets his power
0:38.0	from this office. Once he's back, he can be loud. It's a big hello. I like to think that this
0:42.2	office fueled that frantic sprint to our airplane with one minute to spare. So as you probably knew,
0:47.9	we were in Orlando last week for the MLS All-Star game. We made a mistake and if you heard our Richmond
0:53.3	Kickers Weekly show, we recorded the end of that show and then we're straight out of hotel,
0:57.3	straight to the airport. Our lift driver didn't help. She refused to take toll roads. I did what,
1:02.6	20 minutes to the journey. We're at the sprint, Darrell. We're about to sprint. Yeah,

1:28.6	has changed. We did not go ahead and hit that. So many people when we explain the situation,
1:33.6	let us skip ahead of them in lines for check-in, in lines for security. One person who volunteered
1:38.0	it. He's like, hey, are you guys late? And we're like, yeah, you know, in front of me, it's fine.
1:41.0	I have never felt so much goodwill in an airport. Yes. Maybe Disneyland and Universal Studios really
1:45.8	do put people in a better mood. Maybe that's what it is. Maybe like arriving and existing in Orlando,
1:50.1	less so. But when you're leaving Orlando, then you're in a good mood. So we made it. Yes.
1:54.9	We're here. We're in the office. Oh boy. And we're going to do some listening questions today.
1:59.4	Before we do, I want to let people know about soccer 101. We have another show. There's no new
