| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the total soccer show and our look ahead to the upcoming Major League Soccer season. |
| 0:27.4 | Yes, I've got 10 questions about 2025 and I've got a fella here who's going to give me 10 key answers. |
| 0:33.9 | Hopefully, we'll see. |
| 0:35.1 | My name's Ryan Bailey joining me. |
