| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and our latest listener questions episode. |
| 0:25.5 | Today we're discussing the size of a penalty box, a Conquer Calf All-Star team, soccer players doing other sports, and much, much more. |
| 0:34.4 | My name's Ryan Bailey. |
| 0:35.7 | Joining me today is a man who's roughly the right age to be a |
| 0:38.7 | Man City fallback. Hello, Taylor Rockwell. Hello. Maybe not quite the fitness required, |
| 0:45.4 | although based on the final minutes of that game, maybe I have the same level of fitness as Fernandino. |
| 0:49.2 | Who knows? Maybe you do, maybe you do. Only one way to find out, I guess. What are you doing next Wednesday? |
| 0:54.2 | Starting for Man City in the Champions League. I don't see what could possibly go wrong. It would be |
| 0:58.3 | entertaining if nothing else. It certainly would. I'd watch it, that's for sure. Also joining |
| 1:02.4 | us Taylor, a man who's taking time out from running the Kareem-Benzma fan club, Graham Rutherton. |
| 1:08.0 | I am, but Kareemzma has done some things in his past that maybe I'll just gloss over in that fan club. |
| 1:15.8 | He's a good goal scorer. He's a good goal scorer. Yep. Goal scoring, extorting teammates. He does it all. |
| 1:23.3 | Rounding out our pack, a man who answers your questions like Kevin DeBroyder scores diving headers emphatically. Joe Lowry. Oh, wow. So, Ryan, first of all, you're already going to be watching that UCL, the semifinal between Real Madrid and Manchester City. We would all watch it that much harder, though, Taylor. Just know that if you were to play right back for City. And Graham, I think that's a good call and maybe slightly distancing yourself from the role of the president of the Karim Bensma fan club. Yeah. Either way, Ryan, I'll take my introduction. Thank you very much. You are very welcome. I'm unsure of what Karen Bensma might ask me to do as one of his closest confidants. So yeah, not distance myself from him, I think. |
| 2:03.8 | Let's move on very quickly. Guys, did you see on the interwebs Crystal Palace, they had a big |
| 2:10.7 | debate. They did a video where they were debating whether ketchup goes in the fridge or the |
| 2:15.5 | cupboard. I'm going to go around the horn here and judge you accordingly. |
| 2:20.9 | Joe, fridge or cupboard? |
| 2:22.2 | Ketchup. |
| 2:23.2 | Fridge. |
| 2:24.9 | Taylor? |
| 2:27.2 | Opened or not yet open ketchup? |
| 2:29.2 | You can specify. |
