Hello and welcome to the total sucker show. My name is Darrell Grove.

I'm back from Boston, and I'm joined by a man who's back from Seattle. We're together again. Indeed. His name is Taylor Rockwell. Hello. Hello. It didn't seem like that big of a deal, but now that I think about it, when's the last time we were in studio together? Before I went to Boston and you went to Seattle. Yeah, it was last week. Was it? I couldn't remember if we were in studio together last week or not.

It's been a week.

Okay, cool.

All right.

It's been a week.

It's been a week. Okay, cool. All right. It's been a feel better. It's been. It has been. It's been. So we're going to talk USA Canada, obviously, today. But first, you're in Seattle for MLS Cup. I were. I was in Boston for the clinical trial treatment that I've been on. I just wanted to start the show.

Mine was more fun, but yours is maybe better news. Yeah. Mine had a happier event. Yeah. So basically,

we've got some results from the clinical trial I've been doing, some scans, and it's good news.

It's showing a good reduction in the size of the tumors, which basically means the clinical trial is working. In your face tumors so far. If they have faces, if they do, that's a problem. I don't want face tumors. They should not have faces. I'm no doctor. The reason I went to share this is I haven't mentioned it for a while on the show because we didn't know if anything was successful or not. This is the first feedback. But also because, you know, the money that I'm using to travel to Boston every two weeks is the money from the GoFundMe, which a lot of our listeners contributed to. So I want to let people know that it was money well spent. Yes. It was definitely in the sense that things are working, things are shrinking. Yeah. That definitely seems like money well spent. Yeah. So I want to say thank you, again, to everybody who contributed to the GoFundMe, because that's literally what's allowed me to travel to Boston, pay for some stuff. Some stuff is covered by the trial, and then pay for accommodation and flights and all that kind of stuff. You do look, I think the healthiest I've seen you look in quite some time. There's definitely a period when your arms were skinny enough that it seemed like, maybe don't like pat him on the shoulder too hard or something might break. That's a John Brooks style breakable. Yes, exactly. I did start calling you Mr. Glass for a period of time, yes. All right, so I just wanted to share that with listeners before we get down to business.

Hopefully more good news on the way this week in the shape of the USA, not going out in the group stage of the Conquer Calf Nations League.

Yes. I do want to say one more thing about Seattle. It's kind of weird to say.

Yeah. But Darrell basically chose not to go to Seattle because he had been to Boston, then straight from Boston, he went to Germany, we get back from Germany, then you're in Boston again, then you're going home to England for a little bit of time. So I think you did the math and realized you would have been like, like, able to see your wife like two nights in like a month and a half or something like that. Right. So it wasn't necessarily health reasons. And I said that just because there was definitely a weird

thing. It was really great to get to hang out with Joe Lowry and meet him one-on-one and interact and

record. It didn't look like you'd replace me. Like a younger, prettier glasses person.

Glasses person. Yes. Like a younger, be-spectacled person who likes tactics and asking difficult questions of managers.

It's just sort of like, that's right, it's my younger model.

It was a midlife podcast crisis.

And I drove here in a red Ferrari, so there you go.

I like to think you reinforced that narrative everywhere you went.

Of course. Of course. I did not. Have you met my second one? No, instead it was my second podcast well I guess we don't, he doesn't come to the studio so I can't claim to be a podcast. Right. Or common law married. You don't co-habitate. No, I do not. But with you I do. You're still my number one. Don't worry. That's good to know. For now.

Well, we're cohabitating right now. We're going to talk USA Canada. But first, I guess we've got to talk about Ernie Stewart.
