Welcome to the Tonal Soccer Show and our latest batch of listener questions. On today's show, we're talking blind soccer. We're putting an MLS team in Mexico and we're creating a new international tournament. We are busy today. My name's Ryan Bailey. Joining me today. It's your friend of mine. It's Taylor Rockwell. Hello, Taylor. Hello, Ryan.

Taylor, you look lovely today.

You're in a button-up shirt.

What's going on?

I had to drop the children off at daycare, and sweatpants and the shirt I slept in were not the look I was going for. So instead, I put on a button-up shirt, but did not comb my hair. Someone at daycare that Taylor wants to impress.

Anything I can do to make them think that I've got things figured out is what I'm going for.

I'm lying to the people of preschool. That's what I'm working on. Sure. My approach there is flip-flops and baseball cap to cover up clothes you wearing yesterday when you dropped the kids up in the morning. Is that no good? Are people looking through that and seeing everything I'm doing there? All right. Truthfully, a lot of it has to do with the fact that my wife is a lawyer, works downtown, drops

the kids off in her professional garb and off she goes, and then I show up in my sweatpants fresh

from recording. Like, yeah, I'm equally professional. So I feel like I have to up my game a little

bit sometimes. Very good. Joe Lowry's here. Hello, Joe. Hey,. So I feel like I have to up my game a little bit sometimes.

Very good. Joe Lowry's here. Hello, Joe. Hey, Ryan. I'll give you something back, which is to say, I didn't drop the kids off today because I don't, I don't have any. Okay. Okay. You do have a nice shirt on that says coblers. Are you from a family of cobblers, Joseph? Yeah, absolutely. You know, we were cobbling all through the night last night.

We've got a shoe order that it's a big one.

It's much bigger. Are you from a family of cobblers, Joseph? Yeah, absolutely. You know, we were cobbling all through the night last night.

We've got a shoe order that it's a big one. It's much bigger than we're used to. The deadline is today. So I'm thankful to have cobbled all the way through. Excellent, cobbling. As always, Joseph, Graham Rutherland's here. Hello, Graham. Hello, Ryan Bailey. I didn't take my daughter to school today either, but not because I don't have a daughter,

because I'm lazy and I'm an absent father, and I just watch football and tennis all the time. Wow. All the truth is pouring out today. The concerning part with that is, is I don't really know what is true and what's not true. That's the part that really is sort of like puts me in an interesting place. We don't watching Sok. It's true, right? That is true. And it was also true that I didn't take Sophie to school today. I actually was traumatized about a year ago taking her to nursery as it was at the time for the first time because, I don't know, like other parents and stuff, like I feel like I'm getting judged all the time. They make me nervous. Graham gets it. And so, and so I turned up to Sophie's new nursery for the first time, and I'm talking to Lucy, my wife. Full kit. Just drop the full kit, yeah. Just. With boots on. I'm a footballer. Baca Jr., 2010 away shout with Copa Mundiars. And. And so Lucy's saying to me, like, no one's going to say anything or judge you just put her into the nursery. First they had ever done it, this woman from the nursery came running after me going, excuse me, who are you? We don't recognize you. And that was me traumatized for the rest of my life, taking my daughter to daughter to homeless aren't allowed in the building is what they were screaming i'm imagining yeah i should

have dressed up like you taylor excuse me who are you we don't recognize you they shout as you walk

away that's incredible wow just something about me that seems shifty apparently did your daughter

not say no that's legit he lives with, she was no idea who that guy is.

Very well, very well.
