Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and our Thanksgiving special in which we're coming together to explain what we're thankful for in and around the beautiful game.

My name's Ryan Bailey.

Joining me today, we've got a bunch of soccer pilgrims who've landed on the Rock.

Taylor Rockwell's here.

Hello, Taylor. Hello, Ryan Bailey. I saw a picture of Flemouth Rock the other day on Reddit and was led to believe that it is not nearly as exciting as people might think it is. You assume it's some big giant thing and instead it seems to be a very small rock with a couple numbers carved into it. So you, I thought of all of us, the four of us, the person to be a member of R slash Plymouth Rock would be you, Taylor.

I can't even remember what that subreddit was that I saw it in. But I am here. I'm excited for our Thanksgiving episode. I have a 16 pound turkey just off mic just for me. I thought we were going to be doing a sort of potluck situation, forgetting that recording remotely is not going to allow for that so much. That's right. Joining us now with some sort of potato dish with marshmallows in it, it's Graham, Rutherland. Hello, Graham. Hello, Ryan Bailey. I had never experienced the potato dish with marshmallows in it until Taylor made it for us when we were all together two years ago for the World Cup in Brooklyn.

Taylor didn't put marshmallows in his.

Well, I must have added the marshmallows from my travel bag of marshmallows that I carry with me everywhere.

And I liked it.

So there we go.

There you go.

Yeah, your toiletry bag is like your essentials and a little bag of marshmallows just for emergencies.

I like that we're saying that ingest as though Graham doesn't travel with a secret like container of Harribo at all times. There are secret gummies and not even like the fun kind.

Graham just likes gummies. It's not even that secret. It's just a bag that have out at all times.

It does say do not touch in permanent marker on it though. So no one else tries to steal. We know that much. That's Graham's tattoo, I think, somewhere on his body. Also with us, it's our desert pilgrim. Joe Lowry, I should say. Hello, Joe. Desert Pilgrim, baby, got here on a cactus that I rode across the Atlantic Ocean.

Apologies, an advanced listener.

If there's a weird buzzing sound of my track, my mic is currently fighting for its life.

So we'll see how well future Joe does on the edit of this episode, but I'm thankful to be here nonetheless.

Wow. Joe's Mike is not thankful to be here by the sound of things.

Wow.

We're all buzzing, though.

We're all buzzing for this episode. Let's say that. Before we get to what we are thankful for in and around the soccer world, Patreon.com slash total soccer show.
