Summary

First off, if you're in need of bad puns, this is the episode for you! Taylor is back to chat with Graham and Ryan about the biggest games from the weekend!

1) Liverpool v Manchester City was a classic, even if the officiating was not (according to Pep)

2) Atletico Madrid v Barcelona: Simeone's side were dominant, Koeman's side were coached from a phone, and Suarez got his revenge.

3) Atalanta v Milan: No Zlatan. No gold car. No problem. Milan was dominant and won the first 86 minutes 3-0 before losing the final 4+ minutes 2-0. A net 3-2 means all 3 points!

4) El Trafico lives up to its name... in that the final 30 minutes dragged on for a while and everyone seemed to wish they were home watching TV.

Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and our world famous weekend review on this episode.

0:27.0

We're looking back on a weekend where Mosulah had the power and James Milner should have gone for an early shower.

0:33.9

Oh, that rhyming.

0:34.9

Where Ronald Kuban showed his inner Donald Trump, shouting on the phone,

0:38.6

blaming others for a loss and somehow keeping a job way longer than he should off.

0:42.5

And on a day where Milan, oh so nearly blew a three-goal leader at Atlanta, we found out that

0:47.7

Zlatan Ibrahimovic bought himself the most Zlatan gift of all time for his 40th birthday,

0:53.2

a golden Ferrari, a very subtle choice for a very subtle man. My name is Ryan Baleen. Joining me today is a man who better not be expecting a golden Ferrari when he turns 40, Taylor Rockwell. I mean, I was. I'm not now. Hey, buddy, it's good to talk to you all. It's nice to be back. It's going to be red. That's fine. All right, That's fine. I think that means my insurance goes up, but I guess if I'm getting a gigantic sports car anyway, my insurance is going to go up. So it's fine. It's fine. I'll deal with it. Exactly. Nothing says midlife crisis like a golden Ferrari to me, Taylor. And I think a red one is a bit more subtle for your time. Wow! I didn't really think about how this is basically his midlife crisis vehicle. That's outstanding work by you and less outstanding by Zlatan, I think. Anyway, let's let's let's that. More Taylor, how were you, how was your vacay? How was free soloing on L-CAP or whatever you did last week? Yeah, no, not for me, not ever. I'm not like terrible with heights until I get to a point where I realize like, you know, if there were an earthquake, I could fall off. I genuinely was concerned that maybe there would be a freak earthquake and I would go tumbling off the edge of some of those mountains. But it was really wonderful. It was nice to be out in California, saw my mom, went to Yosemite, and also stopped in in Kansas City and had a good time there.

2:02.0

So it was nice.

2:02.5

It was nice to get away for a moment, but I did miss you all, and I'm glad to be back and talk about some football and not be free soloing because that is how nightmares happen for me.

2:11.9

I've got a confession to make, Taylor.

2:13.4

Whenever you say Kansas City to me, I used to have a live recording of Limp Biscuit where Fred Durst over and over again would say Kansas City, Limbiscuit Committee.

2:23.9

And it was like, that's such a terrible rhyme. Why do you keep saying it over and over again?

2:28.3

I think there are larger questions to be asked about why you owned that recording, my friend.

2:32.7

It was 1999, Taylor. It was a different time. You knew better even then. You knew better even then. No, I had, I remember being, I think it was a middle schooler and playing their version of faith, not knowing it was a George Michael cover. And my father sort of being very confused about both that song and also me not knowing that it was a cover of something. That blew my mind.

2:51.4

Yeah. George Michael didn't like that cover very much, by the way. I imagine not. I imagine not.

2:56.7

Also here with his tale is a man who doesn't mark the passing of time with birthdays or Ferraris. He marks it with Watford manager firings. He is 674 Watford managers old, Graham Rutherman.

3:08.9

Hello, Ryan. How are you? I spent my weekend. I didn't do any free soloing and I

3:13.4

certainly didn't listen to any limp biscuit. And I also didn't go and see the Bond film,

3:20.0

which a lot of my friends seem to do over the weekend. But I did watch a lot of soccer for a change.

3:25.1

So I feel I'm well versed for this weekend review. Did you have a good weekend? I had a lovely weekend. I wasn't aware there was a Bond film, Matt. It's not as if there's been water wall-to-wall coverage of said that, Graham. Can we talk about that for a second? Yeah. I mean, Ryan, are you this podcast, James Bond, actually?

3:24.7

English accent, like sports cars, lots of, lots of sexual line and I also saw you were at the beach at the weekend so I can only imagine you recreated the famous Daniel Craig scene walking out of the sea. Have you got... You left off fundamentally flawed human being on your list, Craig.
