Welcome to the total soccercer Show and our annual Thanksgiving special

as we all prepare to meet up with loved ones,

purchase cheap electronics and eat casseroles that have marshmallows in them for no particular reason.

We at TSS have gathered to discuss what we're thankful for in the world of soccer.

My name's Ryan Bailey. Joining me today is a man who can carve up a turkey like a

Premier League team can definitely carve through a man-united defense. Too soon, Taylor Rockwell?

I mean, hurtful but also accurate, so I'll take it. I can carve a bird. That's one of my few

skills. Really? I knew you as the modern, the modern Renaissance man, that's not a phrase, but as a sort of person I expected who would have, have you got one of those like electric carving dealies? No, because I'm not a savage, Ryan. I sharpen my eyes, and then you slice along the backbone, you do a few little

quick cuts, you pop that breast out, you're good to go, my friend, you're good to go. This is all from my brief. I watched two seasons of Top Chef and decided I was going to be a chef, and then I worked in a kitchen for six months, and decided I did not want to be a chef anymore. Oh, my gosh. another chapter in the Taylor Rockwell

The World's most interesting man book

gets written.

He was a chef for six months as well, listener.

Goodness, me.

Is there anything you haven't done, Taylor. I think I showed up preparing to wear a white coat and realized that line cook would have maybe been the more appropriate title. All right. Well, it sounds like a delicious time will be had with the Rockwells this turkey day.

Also, here is a man taking some time off this week, but who never takes time off from being

awesome, Joe Larry.

Oh, Ryan.

See, those sublime, just beautiful compliments are the reasons why I keep coming back, Ryan.

I skipped weekend review yesterday to have a little bit of time off, but I couldn't resist

being back to talk turkey with you guys. It's a pleasure to have you, Joseph. And can you tell me about what you get up to on Thanksgiving? A lot of people, for example, you know, sit down, maybe watch some NFL football, maybe watch a movie. What do you do, Joe? Movies. Yeah. So, well, in the past a lot of times I've gotten together in the morning and played a game of soccer actually.

I know a lot of people I've gotten together in the morning and played a game of soccer, actually.

I know a lot of people do American football on Thanksgiving, but gotten together to play some soccer in the morning.
