My name is Taylor Rockwell.

I am doing the introduction because Ryan Bailey is not with us.

We're going to speculate wildly about what he is doing instead of being here.

To do so, I need my two co-hosts, my two friends in soccer. Up first is coughing Graham

Ruthven. How you doing, Graham? Hello, Taylor. Yes, I'm fine. I'm still raging from the

Spain game, and I definitely didn't spend yesterday re-watching the game and noting down every bad

decision made by the referee. But other than that, yes, I am doing very well, thank you.

Was there any reason for that? Were you reading an article, or is it just full sickle mode for you?

Well, that's what happens when we don't have weekend review. Those are the things that I'm pushed towards. But yeah, ultimately, it's a great relief for Scotland to qualify and be among the

big nations to have qualified. I'm looking through the list of countries here that have qualified, France, Portugal, Spain, Scotland, Belgium, Turkey,

Austria. Wait a minute. England aren't on this list. Have England not qualified yet?

I feel like you had this whole thing ready for Ryan to be here and now that he's not.

We should just keep it going. Graham, does that mean that England are good or not good that they haven't qualified? Oh, that's embarrison. I mean, little old Scotland is qualified before them. Little old Scotland. Here with us to talk maybe about Scotland, but more to answer some listener questions. We have Coffin, Graham

Ruthven, and we have under the weather Joe Lowry. Hi, Joe. Yeah, let's go. My theory on Ryan

and where he is today is, I saw a map the other day that was, like, what if all of the culvers

in Milwaukee were connected as like metro lines? And I don't know how I found this, but that came

across my feed.
