0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Total Soccer Show. My name is Darryl Grove and I'm joined by
0:22.3	a man who is reunited with me. His name is Taylor Rockwell. Hello. Hello, I am. Have you
0:27.7	always been that loud of the introduction? Yes. I've just been away. It's been too long. I
0:31.6	was here. I lived here. I lived a softer gentler life. I'm not ready for the screaming of the
0:35.8	urban urban lifestyle, Darryl. You like just the lapping of the waves gently. Yeah.
0:39.6	It's not what you get. It's not what you get. You're screaming at me. Hello and welcome.
0:45.6	Well, today's show, for our listeners, is going to be Premier League-focused, but it's
0:50.4	listening to questions all about the Premier League. And here's the way we conceptualize this.
0:55.8	It's a good word to use, right? I suppose. You and Ryan did a big overview of the weekend action.
1:00.1	We're going to drill down into some very specific things and the best way to know what people want to
1:04.0	know about is to take this new question. I suppose that's true. We have lots of questions about
1:07.4	the opening weekend of the Premier League to get into today. I actually think we haven't talked
1:11.1	about this, but the way you explain that, you explain this to me before, but for the second time,
1:15.2	hearing it again, I actually really like this idea as a secondary weekend review almost, because
1:21.5	we do like the show I just did with Ryan. It's a lot of the big clubs is who we talk about,
1:26.1	because that's kind of where the big results were, and that tends to be the teams that people
1:29.6	want to hear about. Obviously, the question is a lot of the question. But I think that's the way to do
1:33.7	it is I would rather sort of have people, because a view behind the curtain is that if Bournemouth
1:38.4	beat Burnley 2-0, we don't want to just generically be like, hey, Bournemouth, got those two goals,
1:43.5	good for them. We also don't want to regurgitate what other people have said, which then requires us
1:48.1	to watch every single Premier League game, which we're just not going to be able to do. We all
1:51.4	put two men. No, and so it ends up being like, I don't really want to have like a Lukewarm like,
