Welcome to the total soccer show in our latest batch of listener questions.

On this episode, we're taking charge of Chelsea.

Oh boy.

We're putting Premier League teams in Major League Soccer and so, so much more.

My name's Ryan Bailey.

We've got a power trio on the feed today. Graham Rutherland is part of that trio. Hello, Graham. How are you? I'm good, Ryan Bailey. How are you? Is there any mulch in your Saturday afternoon plans this weekend? We're going back there. Free at last, Graham. I'm free of mulching. My mulching days are over for another season. I'm glad to say. It's a good workout, though. A lot of squatting and picking up heavy bags and stuff. It's good. There's a mold season. You mean for the servants who were doing it? Yeah. Yeah. For the servants. I mean, for them, yeah, for their benefit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I had to do a lot of pointing. Uh-huh. Sure. Put marks out. Yeah. The worst part, as in most jobs in the house, like if you're painting a room graham it's the prep it's the pre it's the weeding it's the getting ready for the dumping the mulch on those areas I mean I wouldn't I wouldn't know I just I just message my brother go please we've been messaging in too yeah that's wise He's got more talk. We booked him for Monday. Yeah. That's wise.

He's got more talk about. We booked him for Monday. Yeah. We have indeed. We're back to a Fawson. Not with you. Sorry. That's the real reason he's going to be in L.A., isn't it? This is where the transition happens, the handover. Speaking of transition, we're going to L.A. This summer. We'll get there very shortly because we have to say Joe Lowry.

Hello.

How are you?

I'm great.

Ryan, I totally agree with you. your transition we're going to LA this summer we'll get to there very shortly because we have to say

Joe Lowry hello how are you I'm great all right I totally agree with you about prep I was thinking

about even for writing like I don't mind the process of writing but the research bit I actually

I even like the research bit but while I'm doing the research knowing that I still have to do all

of the writing afterwards it's like the tasks are connected and I have to take my medicine first before I can do the thing.

Even if I don't think the medicine tastes all that bad, it's the fact that I have to wait to do the final product to actually prepare myself so that doesn't suck. I don't know. Something about that in my mind, it's just a hindrance. Yeah, the prep of typing in chat gbt.com is quite laborious, just if any of my

editors are listening. That's a joke. I don't actually do that. Wink. I just delete the hyphins.

Very good. As they say, fail to prepare and prepare to fail. No, on the way around.

Liam Razini said it.

The wrong way around on LinkedIn. Yeah, very good. Hey Joe, West Coast Joe, are you looking forward

to the summer of TSS in Los Angeles? I'm so excited, man. I actually am so excited. It feels real

now in a way that it hasn't, maybe quite felt real before.
