Welcome to the total soccer show and our latest round of listener questions.

Today we're talking about Brentford's kickoff tactics.

We're picturing a world where Rupert Murdoch invented soccer in the US instead of the UK

and much, much more are coming in the listener questions mailbag.

My name's Ryan Bailey, joining me today, sifting through the mailbag, letter by letter, Taylor, Taylor.

Hello, Ryan Bailey. This is a weird episode. This is a weird series of questions. I'm excited

to answer them, but never have I, like, struggled to do the research and struggled to

find consistent answers. But I'm excited to do my best and mostly listen to Graham and Joe.

Are these episodes ever not weird? I think, I mean, the alternate world in which Rupert Murdoch

is involved in the founding of Major League Soccer, having to realize that I don't know much about

teams outside of the big five leagues in Europe. That was an interesting one. But getting to

rant about egos and soccer, that will be a fun way to end up this show. There we go. Some authoritative answers coming from Taylor Rockwell in this episode. We look forward to it indeed. Also here, Joe Lowry, everybody. Hi, Joe. Hey, Ryan. How are you? Great, you? I'm great. I am so great. I'm excited to listen to Taylor and Graham on today on today's show because also like taylor i had a hard time answering some of these questions i was already planning taylor personally to take a back seat so you also you also can't take a back seat there there's only one seat in the back the other one's fell uh i believe there's two in the back ryan's driving graham right shotgun doing some head i've got a dresser in the back i'm crammed in as it is. There's not really, I. Ryan's driving, Graham, Ryan shotgun, doing some heavy. I've got a dresser in the back.

I'm crammed in as it is.

There's not really, I mean, you could have the trunk.

Do you want the trunk?

Riding on the roof.

Okay, that's fine. On the roof. Yeah, you're on the roof. Great. It's all good. really style. I like it. Just screaming answers from outside as best I can while you all roll up the windows.

Joe, I had you in the cat. But see, I hope that's okay. Is that inside or outside the vehicle? Because I typically love the catbird seat, but in this case it makes me feel like I'm elevated, and there's only so much room to be elevated inside of a motorized vehicle. That is a Joseph Lowry homespun saying. So you will decide where that seat is. Graham, Rutherland also here.

Graham, you found this very easy to research and had a lot of fun doing so, right? Hello, Ryan Bailey. So I had already, I've already placed my cooler in the back of whatever vehicle it is we're driving in here. And you can't move the cooler once it's in the back of the car, so I have to sit in the back. So I guess you're driving it on your own in the front like a taxi driver.

So put the meter on.

Hey, left on. of the car, so I have to sit in the back. So I guess you're driving it on your own in the front,

like a taxi driver. So put the meter on. Hey, left on third, driver, left on third. Okay, away we go.
