Thank you. Welcome to the Total Soccer show in an episode we are devoting entirely to a story about a collection of dysfunctional millionaires with a highly controversial patriarch, with big reach into geopolitics, and who are supposed to act like a family, but they didn't really get the memo on that, and who are definitely not serious people.

No, we're not talking about Paris-Sanche Man, we're talking about succession.

Cross-over episode people, mea, me-mere! Yes, we are putting together our Succession 11s in this episode.

We're building teams who will dominate dominate like ATN in swinging the presidential

race, who'll take advantage of small spaces and opportunities like Tom Wamsgans, spotting

an opening, who'll stay in their roles under pressure like Jerry, who'll attack like Lucas

Mattson pulling off an acquisition, and who'll go into defensive mode like Kendall,

accidentally murdering someone. Oh, duck. This episode will try as best to be succession. Spoiler free, but we may spoil your opinions on TSS and soccer in general. Spoiler alert, you just failed.

across the ballroom table? Are they meant for me? How did you get you like that high? I'm now doing the face. I'm now doing the face. If you've seen Succession, you know the face. The face. Oh yeah. And if you've been on the internet, you know the face as well. Now, a little bit of housekeeping. as I see, we're going to try not to be too spoiler-tastic in this one,

but if you haven't seen Succession, this one's... as well. Now, a little bit of housekeeping. As I see, we're going to try not to be too

spoiler-tastic in this one, but if you haven't seen Succession, this one's probably not entirely

for you, listener, but we enjoy your company all the same. Also worth noting that Taylor has been

racing to finish Succession as we've got...

Sensational. She's watched about hundred hours of TV and a day

yeah so Taylor would you like to tell the boys and girls
