Hello,

Hello,

Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Total Soccer show.

My name is Taylor Rockwell.

It's Tuesday, which means it's MLS weekly, and I'm rushing through the introduction because I want to talk about Hamas Rodriguez.

I'm very excited, even if, by all accounts, maybe I shouldn't be.

We'll find out.

Here with me to talk about that and many more things are the man, the myth, the legend

himself, back from Coachella. He looks very hippie-ish now. The whole vibe has changed. It's Tybrejo. Joe Lowry, hello, Joe. Hey, as long as I look hippie-ish and not pink from Sunburn, that's the win. As I put it in my future on video, that was my primary goal. I was only out there on Saturday, but I was out there all day on Saturday, and it's, it's, it's, it's toasty, right?

I mean, early early February day in Indio, California is fairly warm, but I escaped. I escaped the sunburn. I had a great time. It's going to be back. At the risk of going into weather chat right away, Joe references it being toasty where he was. There is still ice on the ground here

in Richmond, Virginia. Jeff Ruder, in Minnesota and February, what is toasty? Like 35 degrees?

We've, yeah, I mean, we're going to hit 40 this week. Congratulations, man. And people are genuinely

just like, I guess that's on. It's very unusual. Yeah, we're already just like shorts flip-flops, grill in the front yard, that sort of thing. It's all happening out here right now. My fault. This is my fault. I did the weather thing first. I thought Sunburn would not be weather-adjacent. It was. It was too close. That's on me. Instead, will say, thank you to all of the TSS folks who literally stopped me at the Gocelli Valley Invitational. It was like a good handful of people, maybe five or so people who, who, like, recognize me and were shouting at me in like a good way and we had like good conversations. It was a ton of fun so thank thank you for listening to

the show i'm guessing you're listening right now it was sweet i had a great time i hope you did too it was a

really really fun fun day and just a reminder that people actually listen when we're talking to each other

in this void it was really sweet so like actors will get their famous roles or characters or lines

yelled at them joe did you you get like... Hey, nerd.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Same page.

Oh, you preempted the nerd joke with a nerd joke.
