Summary
The Armchair Analyst himself is on the pod to discuss mezcal cocktails and cat ownership... and also the start of the 2021 MLS season. If you missed the chat with Sam Stejskal earlier in the week, scroll down the feed a bit and you'll find it.
In this episode, we get into some of the teams that Sam and I didn't get to, including Toronto, Minnesota, Sporting KC, Orlando City, and many more. Plus. the deepest teams in the league and the current state NYCFC, who definitely aren't on the "deepest teams" list right now.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome, hello and welcome everybody to The Total Soccer Show. |
| 0:23.4 | My name is Taylor Rockwell. |
| 0:24.6 | And with me today to discuss the start of the 2021 Major League Soccer season is a man who, as far as I can tell, spent the pandemic preparing for this MLS season, but also crafting unique and interesting cocktails. |
| 0:35.9 | It's Matt Doyle. |
| 0:36.6 | Hi, Matt. |
| 0:40.8 | How you doing, man? So I will say that the cocktails are unique, but I don't think they end up being interesting because at the |
| 0:47.0 | core of all of it, it's just I substitute mescalin for whatever the appropriate base spirit is. |
| 0:55.9 | That is like, again, unique is applicable. |
| 1:00.6 | Interesting. |
| 1:01.2 | Like I think after the fourth one, it just stops being that at all. |
| 1:04.3 | And it starts being completely predictable. |
| 1:06.1 | See, I see it the other way around, which is that to me, you have a, this concept probably already exists of |
| 1:12.1 | like mescal replacing bourbon in a Manhattan, mescal replacing tequila in a margarita. |
| 1:17.2 | Like I feel like you could go through every single drink and just substitute mescal and then |
| 1:21.4 | you have the mescal bar. So maybe that's what you can do if ever you get tired of talking about |
| 1:26.2 | soccer for a living. |
| 1:31.8 | That sounds like a good gig to me. And I will say this for the listeners out here, |
| 1:38.0 | the two absolute best substitutions are mescal nigroney. So you just substitute the mescal for the gin. And a very obvious one is a mescal paloma. Paloma is a great drink, |
| 1:43.6 | no matter what type of tequila you use. But if you add mescal paloma. Paloma is a great drink no matter what type of tequila |
| 1:45.6 | you use, but if you add mescal instead, just elevates it to like Michael Bradley versus |
| 1:52.8 | club Leon type level. That would be a perfect segue because I do want to ask you about Toronto. |
| 1:58.7 | I do want to ask you about Michael Bradley, but I want to continue to ask you about cocktails instead because the thing with that Scott, Ms.cault has the smoke, right? And I can't like, same thing with Scotch. I, like, is there a way to appreciate the smoke such that it becomes a feature? Because for me, it's, it's sort of a drawback, but I realized that that is an unsophisticated palate speaking. |
