Hello and welcome everybody to The Total Soccer Show.

My name is Taylor Rockwell, and I am ready to answer some list or questions or at least ask them and then have other people answer them.

We've got eight or so questions lined up.

Here with me to answer them up first is a man who is dressed to show his new and undying loyalty. It's Mr. Graham

Ruffin. Graham, thank you for your support. Thank you, Taylor Rockwell. I'm not ready for that

curse to be put upon me. So for anyone who, or I was going to say for anyone who can't see me,

everyone who on this medium can't see me, I am wearing a Manchester United Adidas original Zippy.

I bought it in London.

There was like a whole load of 90s stuff.

And as a kid of the 90s, I'm not quite as 90s as Mr. Ryan Bailey,

but nonetheless, Manchester United quite iconic part of that decade.

So, yeah, I bought it.

But please, please do not put that curse on me, Taylor

Rockwell. I will not. I promise you, but I appreciate the support all the same. I'm assuming

it was for me today. Thank you for that, Graham. Always nice to have loyalty starting the week.

Joining us is a man who always gives full effort in podcast training.

It's Joe Laueri. Hi, Joe. Taylor, I see what you did there. We should talk about this old Giorana thing in just a second. But first, much more importantly, did Graham say the word zippy? He did. Okay. He did, because I was ready for him to say training top, so then I could transition to how you give your best effort in training. and instead I spent a good 10 seconds being distracted by him.

Is this another fizzy juice diluting juice situation? This is a hundred percent a zippy. It's got zip. You can hear it. Listen. Oh yeah. All right. That's zippy. Is it a quarter zip gram? Like does it zip down just like your collarbone? All right, then it's just a jacket. Yeah, it's just a jacket is what I would call it. But I love that you called it. I'm not trying to shame you for that, Graham. That's just one that I've never heard before. And that seems genuinely quite adorable. And I will be adopting it from this point forward. I'm a really big fan of, of, like, words that, like, really do a good job of describing the thing while also being the name of the thing.

I love in Turkish, Bilgi Sayar is the word for computer, which I believe literally translates to knowledge counter, which I guess is what a computer is.

And I love the idea of what do you call a soft drink? What do you call a soda? We call it fizzy juice because it's fizzy and it's, I guess,

juice. Graham, is that what you all think of as juice? See, until these conversations, I actually

thought Americans described things in a more literal way. Like the time I went to Walgreens or whatever
