Hello, hello everybody and welcome to the total soccer show. My name is Taylor Rockwell, and today we have a different sort of Total Soccer Show episode for you. A very special Total Soccer Show episode. It's a get-to-know-your host edition of the show. Graham Ruthven, Joe Lowry, Ryan Bailey have already done the previewing for this summer's European Championship. They're also going to be joining me to cover the tournament itself. We're going to be putting out daily review shows and with the frequency with which you're about to be hearing from all of us, we felt like it might be a good idea for you to get to know your host a little bit. So if you're new to the show, or if you've been listening for a long time, but you want to hear about uh, Graham's experiences at weddings. We're going to talk about that later on. Then this is the episode for you. And in fact, with that in mind, let's get to some introductions. First up, all the way, since I've already mentioned him, all the way from an intermittently active construction site somewhere in Scotland. It's Graham Rufford. Hello, Graham. Hello Taylor. How are you? The construction site is a little bit quieter at this time of night,

which is a good thing. I'm not having to compete for airtime with like a, what do you call

those, a steam roller sort of thing. Yeah, so they're packed away for the evening.

See, Graham, I always try to write like the quick introductions just so I don't forget them.

And I will say, it was a difficult one to write and not make it sound like you were squatting in a construction.

You do have a home there, right?

Yeah, yeah.

We pay to live here, and there are walls that are on a roof and a bed but it's a it's a new house so

there's not much more than that to be honest you i'm not gonna lie you have not convinced me

because you described the most basic house you could possibly like yeah it's there's a roof here

and walls that that doesn't really like give me the specifics i need graham to know that you're not

just like living in a backhoe or something yeah i just I just described generic house A, and you're just going to have

to take my word for it that I do actually legally live here. And my name is on the documents.

All right, perfect. I will take you at your word. We have, so Graham in Scotland with hopefully

better weather than it has been recently.

But on the opposite side of the weather spectrum, we have a man who doesn't believe in seasons because he's chosen to live in the desert.

It's Joe Lowry.

Hi, Joe.

Hey, Taylor.

I'm really excited to play the newlywed game or the Total Soccer Show version of the newlywed game with all of you.

And I'd like to say Graham's house and Ryan's made-up Eastern European

friend.
