| 0:25.6 | On today's show, we'll learn why Ralph Ragnet got the heck out of Manchester, what happened to Fabian Johnson, and we'll learn about our fantasy dinner dates. |
| 0:35.2 | My name's Ryan Bailey, joining me today to answer your questions. |
| 0:38.5 | It's a man I haven't spoken to in a few hours. |
| 0:40.6 | Taylor Rockwell, have you been interviewing for the Chelsea job? |
| 0:44.8 | I am one of the few who has not been. |
| 0:47.1 | I like how Twitter is trending in the direction of any name you click on that is a managerial name. |
| 0:52.0 | Is imminently about to be appointed the new Chelsea manager. It seems like they're about to have nine of them, which is an innovative, if convoluted strategy. Yeah. Well, by the time this episode is published, I'm sure Josie Marini would have been announced as Chelsea's manager for the zillionth time, Taylor. But we shall see. There are times a charm, baby.

| 2:06.8 | But reports came out that said basically, yeah, they were asked to leave. |
| 2:10.5 | The Orlando City person was asked to leave several times and was videotaping for 30 to 45 minutes. |
| 2:15.1 | So things are going well. |
| 2:16.6 | Things are going very, very well ahead of, |
| 2:19.0 | you know, the oldest cup competition that exists in, I think, most places, maybe the oldest period |
| 2:24.5 | outside of the FA Cup. It's old. It's very, very old. And this is just the best way I can think of |
