This episode of The Total Soccer Show is brought to you in part by DoorDash. DoorDash is the app that brings you the food you're craving right now right to your door.

Ordering is easy. You just open the DoorDash app, choose what you want to eat, and your food will be left safely outside your door with the new contactless delivery drop-off setting.

They've got everything you could be craving, and I invite our listeners to attempt as strange a food combination as they feel comfortable. Not sure what that would look like exactly, so I look forward to your tweets on that. But the basic point is that with very little fuss, you can continue supporting your local favorites safely. There are thousands of restaurants open for delivery on DoorDash that need your patronage now more than ever. And as I've said before, you could go local. You could go big chains. If you're in the mood for a big chain, but don't feel like being around a bunch of people, you can go that route and it works. With that in mind, our listeners can get $5 off and zero delivery fees on their first order of $15 or more when they download the DoorDash app and enter the code TSS.

That's $5 off and zero delivery fees on your first order when you download the DoorDash app in the app store and enter the code TSS.

Don't forget, that's code TSS for $5 off your first order with DoorDash.

Thank you very much to DoorDash for sponsoring this episode.

Now, on with the show.

Hello everybody, and welcome to The Total Soccer Show.

I'm Taylor Rockwell.

I think we have picked up some new listeners in the last few weeks, so I just wanted to say hello to everyone who is new, and things can be two things to everyone who isn't.

If you're new, that will make sense later.

But also if you're new, I did want to say that I am normally joined by my co-hosts

Darrell Grove.

He'll be back to normal recording sometime soon, but for now I'm going to be continuing with having guests and guest hosts on the show. And today, we've got a TSS favorite. It's Meg Linnehan. I will say, word of warning, the audio is a little Skypey for the first couple minutes, but then it smoothed out pretty quickly.

And with that disclaimer stated, I'll just say,

with me now is Meg Linnehan of the Athletic. Meg, thanks as always for joining me today. Hello. Hello. How are you? I'm doing about as well as can be, you know, given the world we live in. How about yourself? I think, are you back in New York or are you still out amongst the insects and the birds? No, we're back in New York City. So a car starts honking

that is very much New York City. The readjustment has been extremely fun. Let me tell you.

I imagine. I imagine it has been. I'm assuming that it hasn't interrupted your

ability to do full-time with Meg Linahan. I'm not sure we've talked much about your career in

podcasting. How has it been going and are you still enjoying it? I mean, I do. So I have to talk to

Lori Lindsay for this week's episode and it was very amusing because the two of us started talking and at one point

I very much did forget like oh yeah this is actually like a podcast episode not just like the two of us
