Thank you. Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and our weekend review.

Yes, it was a weekend where LAFC was the place to be as the Californian score 3 on their way to the big MLS jamboree.

Where Philadelphia were also able to hit the mark with the destruction of NYCFC at Subaru Park, where Leeds had the

lead twice and they made Liverpool pay the price which has put Juergen Klop's top four

aspirations on ice, where Graham Potter went back to the South Coast and the host gave

an almighty roast, while Christian Pulisic put one the wrong side of the post.

Where Real Madrid were laid bare, the Portland Thorns won some silverware.

By Munich showed plenty of flair,

and on Halloween it's Napoli who continue to scare.

Yes, they're on course for Italian hardware.

My name's Ryan Bailey, and with Graham Rutherland and Joe Lowry, both playing the Gariff Bail role on today's show, their unused subs today. I am joined by a man who's here on All Hello Z, but he isn't going to give you a fright. Hello, Mr. Laughing Taylor Rockwell. I mean, I guess it depends on how loud your headphone volume was as I came in with that laugh. That was a great one, Ryan. Hello, my friend. Good to have you back. Your rhymes are just particularly epic and awesome. When you listened to me trying to fill in and do those, is it like, oh, that was okay? Or is it like, oh, you poor lamb, like patting me on the head? What is the range of emotion when you hear me try to emulate your

rhyming abilities? Yes. Good answer. Good answer. Did you miss me, Tyler? Did you miss me?

I did. I did. And I missed those rhyming abilities sincerely. Is that a thing that you are good at? Do you think just naturally? Is it because you are kind of musical? Like, are you able to improvise songs? Can you freestyle rap, Ryan? Is that what we're going to see at the live show? No, no, no. I'm not good at anything, particularly not rhyming things, Taylor. So thank you for attempting to try and to get me to flatter myself. But I I won't do it. I won't do it, Taylor. I think I was mostly trying to trap you into agreeing to freestyle rap during the live show, which you expertly evaded. Well done, sir. On the contrary, challenge accepted on a freestyle rap. I'll do it. If it would get you, listener, to come to our live show in Brooklyn on November 20th, less than three weeks away. Taylor, perhaps there's a link in the description that people could follow and maybe buy a ticket. Come see us. What do you think?

I believe there will be. I think I mentioned it once, maybe twice last week. So, Ryan, thank you for reminding us to plug it because it is coming up. We're very excited. We're reaching that

point of like, oh, that's coming. And then the nerves get really high. I'm excited for the period when we're actually there and then we just get to enjoy each other's company, do the live show, hang out, watch some soccer, meet some good people. It's going to be a wonderful time. It's going to be the most wonderful time of the year, or at least the precursor to it,

Tatee.

I agree.
