| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and the fifth and final chapter of our 2026 MLS season previews. |
| 0:26.9 | We're going to be taking in the six teams in the West we've yet to discuss. |
| 0:30.1 | Who are? San Diego, San Jose, Seattle, Kansas City, St. Louis, and Vancouver. |
| 0:36.4 | My name's Ryan Bailey. Joining me today. |
| 0:56.5 | Hello, Taylor Rockwell. How are you? How have you found MLS season preview week? I've really enjoyed it. I always enjoy doing the previews, and I'm sad. I don't feel like we've had enough more teams. We need more teams next season. I think go full 40, and let's just make this into a never-ending thing in which we're kind of constantly previewing while also discussing games and time becomes meaningless. |
| 1:13.6 | No close season as well, just keeping all you around? What do we think? Yeah. Yeah. You got a preview. If you're not preview and you're not working, you know? That's true. Although if we did it all season round, when would we actually do our previews? There'd be no previews. It'll be never ending. The preview to the preview part one. Wow. Great stuff. |

| 1:12.4 | Wow. |
| 1:27.1 | Great stuff. The Guardian Jeff Rout is here. Hello, Jeff. How are you? I'm doing well.

| 1:46.2 | Right. Yeah, there we go. Graham Ruffin's here. Graham Ruffin, is the Steve Jobs approach to sartorial elegance, your nightmare, |
| 1:48.0 | only being able to wear one thing ever? |
| 1:51.9 | I mean, not if it's MLS jerseys, right? |
| 1:54.1 | I mean, that is essentially my wardrobe. This is just open it up. |
| 1:55.8 | It's like an Adidas outlet store. |
| 1:59.3 | So I'm maybe the closest to that experience than any of us. |
| 2:02.9 | If MLS ever pivot away from Adidas, their stock price is going to crash because of you, I suspect. |
| 2:08.4 | Yeah, there we go. |
| 2:09.8 | Joe Lowry. |
