Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and a show in a show in which we're reviewing the USWNT's Olympic opener

and we're going to squeeze in a few of your hot takes for another dose of take it or leave it.

My name's Ryan Bailey, joining me today, your friend of mine, Taylor Rockwell.

Hello, Taylor Rockwell.

Hello, Ryan Bailey. How are you, my friend?

I'm doing wonderful recording on a Friday. It's lots of rain, but you're looking lovely and sunny in

your white shirt today. I believe your, thank you, I believe your rain is heading this way if my

weather alert and nervous dog are to be believed. I was thinking it's a weird one to record on a

friday until i remember that for the last month we recorded basically every single day so less

weird right now hopefully more weird in the future indeed and by the way nervous dogs always the

first to know they really are they really are in all aspects graham rublin's here speaking of

nervous dogs here's one right here hello ryan bailey how How are you? I'm doing very well. Thank you. You're looking resplendant also in your Sterling Albion shirt as we record. It reminds me, Graham, of our Patreon. Patreon.com slash total soccer show in which you recently went to a game because apparently Sterling Albion have already played about 10 games of this season in this July. They, they started their season the day before the Euros in Copa America final, which is quite something.

I'm wearing this one today, Ryan, because I've got a new Starlin Albion shirt.

They've got a very nice home shirt with the Wallace Monument on it.

I like it a lot.

And so this has been knocked down the pecking order to sweat palace attire, which is what the pillow fort is in this, in the surprisingly warm weather in Scotland today. That's Graham's high-tech studio. He's referring to as the Sweat Palace, by the way. What did you say the new shirt has on it? Did you say a William Wallace? Yeah, the Wallace Monument, which is like a landmark in Sterling. It's on a hill above the stadium.

So it's pretty cool. It's on our badge. You've got one of these shirts, Ryan's. I do, Ryan. Look at the badge. Oh, I see. That's what that is. I see. See, it's all about freedom. That badge. I didn't realize that. Very good indeed. One more time, patreon.com slash tonal soccer show is where you'll get our bonus content. Bonus episodes of this here podcast videos the aforementioned

You like an opening ceremony? Can't wait. Love it. So excited to watch all the people walk in in different groups. Should be fascinating. Did I see that Snoop Dog is part of it? They have purely done that for the drop-it-like-It-It-Hop meme with the Olympic torch, right? Like that's the whole reason they were writing Snoop Dog is part of it. They have purely done that for the drop-it-like-it-hot meme

with the Olympic torch, right? Like, that's the whole reason they were writing Snoop-Dog

is for that meme. I don't know that meme. No, I'm saying. They're going to turn that into a meme.
