| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the total soccer show and a show in which we have questions. |
| 0:25.4 | Listener submitted question, the best kind of questions. |
| 0:29.4 | My name is Ryan Bailey. |
| 0:30.8 | Joining me today, we have a man who's been subjecting his one-year-old to Tom Waits Records on car journeys. |
| 0:36.5 | Taylor Rockwell, Goodness, Taylor. |
| 0:38.3 | Matt, she really actively despises podcasts. If I try to listen to a podcast or talk radio, |
| 0:43.9 | she is not into that. It has to be music. And she likes, yeah, she likes weird stuff. She was |
| 0:48.2 | definitely enjoying Tom Waits. She likes some pop smoke. She likes punk a lot. So, so far I feel |
| 0:53.8 | like I'm being a good and |
| 0:55.4 | maybe bad dad at the same time uh listener if you're not familiar with tom waste think like bob |
| 0:59.8 | dillon as an angry hobo with a throat infection and you're some way there uh he's uh he sings |

| 1:47.6 | I got sent a video by a friend recently of a... |
| 1:51.1 | I think it was a school in... |
| 1:52.5 | I swear I'm going somewhere with this. |
| 1:53.7 | A school in Kazakhstan where for a Christmas concert, they had fireworks instead of they meant to buy sparklers. |
| 2:00.9 | And that's pretty much what happened before this recording where I plugged on my laptop |
| 2:04.9 | and everything blew up. |
| 2:07.2 | So just to be clear, you spent several thousand dollars more than you spent on a soccer |
| 2:11.3 | ball on a laptop, which has just blown up literally in your face a matter of minutes ago. |
| 2:15.6 | I'm making this sound funny, but it's not |
