Welcome to the Total Soccero!

Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and the Weekender, the show where we take a look at some of the biggest matchups of the weekend. And we wrap things up with our traditional Friday quiz. My name's Ryan Bailey. Joining me today, it's the man who's going to be asking the questions in the aforementioned quiz. Taylor Rockwell. Hello, Taylor. How are you? I am doing well, Ryan. I'm a little nervous.

I think I have the fewest number of quiz questions I've had in a while. But I'm not sure that's the worst thing, because they might take a little bit of time to get through. Buckle up. It's going to be fun. Quality over quantity. That's what we go for around these parts, right? Sure. Today, anyway. Hi, Joe Lowry. How are you?

Hey, sorry, Ryan.

Do you want to do my introduction again and introduce me as reigning quiz champion,

extraordinary champion of the world, best quiz player ever, Joe Lowry?

No.

Or are you going to do that later?

No, fine.

You doing good?

Yeah, yeah, doing great, guys.

Doing great.

Excited to go back to back.

That's all you guys. Excellent stuff. Hope you're looking forward to the weekend as much as us. Also, Graham Rutherman. Hello, how are you, sir? I'm very well. Ryan Bailey, any Christmas questions on the quest today? It's that time of year, isn't it? Everyone else got their tree up, Ryan? Isn't it?

Like you don't know the answer now?

Well, I mean, you know, some people leave it late. Has everyone else got their tree up? We're a pre- Thanksgiving family. Really? I've got to be honest. Pre- Thanksgiving, wow. Yeah, so here's what's happened, Graham. Let me explain. I am very much a post- Thanksgiving man. My wife is a October woman, and unfortunately,

we have compromised, as we do tend to do. And the compromise is we always spend part of the

holiday season visiting our in-laws. And so my wife's logic, which I think has some validity to

it, is that we're missing out on eight days, I think we're going for eight days this year.

We're missing out of eight days of our own personal Christmas decorations. So we should move at eight days in advance of Black Friday, which is when I would be in favor of putting it up. I compromise years ago, and it's too late to go back now. You have the same approach to compromise we have in my house, which is we do what my wife wants to do. I mean, we still hit it relatively down the middle, I suppose.

If she's October and I'm after Thanksgiving, then there's some middle ground there. I thought I would be the early one here because I'm a first of December tree up. I do like the having the tree up and having the Christmas decorations out. But, man, pre- Thanksgiving is. I'm questioning everything after I learned that in England, they say Father Christmas over Santa Claus, as Ryan told me yesterday, which is blow my mind.

They do.
