Summary
It's a weird episode! You've been warned. The Baron Lord Snavington joins Taylor to answer four listener questions, the first two of which take about 45 minutes:
1) "Can you each draft one men's and one women's Quiddich team (1 keeper, 3 chasers, 2 beaters, and a seeker) using only USMNT and USWNT eligible players. Weston McKinnie MUST be the first pick." We can. We did. It was hectic.
2) If the US had gone to the 2018 World Cup, how different would things look today? Who would be coaching the 2021 squad, who would be president of the federation, and how would we have fared in Russia?
3) Has Vlatko Andonovski implemented a tactical identity for the USWNT?
4) What is a ping-pong/yo-yo club, and what are some notable examples from different countries?

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello everybody and welcome to the Total Soccer Show. |
| 0:23.6 | My name is Taylor Rockwell. |
| 0:24.8 | And on today's episode, we're going to be answering your listener questions about alternate realities, |
| 0:30.4 | yo-yo slash ping pong clubs, and quidditch, obviously. |
| 0:34.3 | Those are just a few of the questions we'll get to. |
| 0:36.5 | To help me do that is the |
| 0:37.7 | Baron Lord himself. It's Adam Snavely. Hello, Adam. Taylor, did you invite me on this |
| 0:43.3 | podcast just because my name sounds like it came out of Harry Potter? A little bit. I mean, |
| 0:47.3 | that's part of it for sure. To be honest, this is so tired of being typecast. This sounds so bad, |
| 0:53.8 | and I apologize at advance. |
| 0:55.3 | I sometimes look for you in my phone as Adam Snaves, |
| 0:59.1 | forgetting that you are Snavely because of your Twitter handle, |
| 1:02.2 | but I should just put you in as the Baron Lord Snavington, |
| 1:04.4 | and then it wouldn't be an issue. |
| 1:05.8 | That is true. |
| 1:07.2 | I definitely think that that will clear up a little bit of confusion if you refer to me by my full and proper title. I shall. But all that to say, it's a pleasure to be on again. Hello, Taylor. How are you doing? I'm doing well, man. I'm doing well. Man United have hired a technical director, director of football, I think. I'm not sure what to make of that one. That is what my phone is currently exploding with at time of recording. |
| 1:29.3 | But instead of doing that and talking about that, we're going to talk about some random questions, as I alluded to earlier. |
| 1:34.3 | In fact, let's get to the first one right now. |
| 1:37.3 | It comes from Ira Jersey. |
| 1:38.3 | He asked this a while ago, and I will own the fact that he asked me and Joe to answer this one. I reached out to Joe. Joe has neither seen nor read the Harry Potter books. I asked Ryan. Ryan has neither seen nor read the Harry Potter books, which blew my mind. And I don't fully believe either of them. But I then thought, well, who would be the person who I can assume has and will have thoughts on it? And that's when I messaged you, Mr. Snavely. So this question. I don't know how to feel. I do not know how to feel about that. But yes, I have a- You should feel good because those books are great. I am a seasoned millennial. I have done this. I think that was, was that your response when I asked you was, oh, we're going full millennial, I see? Yeah, that was exactly what I texted you. |
| 2:02.3 | Perfect, perfect. |
| 2:52.4 | All right. This question from Ira Jersey, I would like you each to draft one men's and one women's quidditch team, one keeper, three chasers, two beaters, and a seeker using only U.S. men's national team and U.S. women's national team eligible players. Weston McKinney must be the first pick. So those are our stipulations. Those are our rules. As we go through, I will try to give my abbreviated summary of what each position stands for if you like me knew that Quidditch was a thing, knew that Harry Potter chases the golden thing, and didn't know anything else aside from that. |
