| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and a listener questions episode themed around the end of the 2020-21 domestic seasons in Europe. |
| 0:30.9 | I am Ryan Bailey and I'm in a public space. There's a sleeping baby next to me. |
| 0:35.4 | That's why I'm a bit quieter today. |
| 0:36.9 | Joining me is a man who doesn't have a sleeping baby next to him, That's why I'm a bit quieter today. Joining me is a man |
| 0:37.9 | who doesn't have a sleeping baby next to him, I don't think. It's Taylor Rockwell. Hey, Ryan, I'm excited to be joining this NPR program this week. I'm going breathy in Ira Glass today. How do you like it? I like it a lot. I do not have a crying baby with me. Crying baby is hopefully not crying, but is at daycare, |
| 1:11.0 | and I am here to talk listener questions. I guess more specifically, answer some listener questions. Well, I'm glad you're aware of where your child is right now. That's very encouraging to hear. But 90% of the time, I know where she is mostly. Once again, I apologize if I'm a little quieter than usual, I am in a public space. Sometimes, believe this or not, they let me out of my home. And this is one of those days. |
| 1:15.4 | It's incredible. Ooh, fancy. |
| 1:18.9 | Joining Taylor and I, you may have just heard his voice there as a man who may or may not be |
| 1:22.9 | Real Madrid's next manager is Joe Lowry. I think I've been propped up for the Salisburg job, now the Real Madrid job. Man, I don't know if I keep waiting, am I going to get the Man City job? Like, is this just a level-up situation? I'm really curious here. Is this like, are you treating it like, you know how people trade an elastic ban for like a house and they keep trading |
| 1:44.9 | is that what you're talking about you go up level for level well if i trade you the salisberg job for the |
| 1:48.6 | madrid job then they can trade that yeah i think that's exactly what's happening here just salzberg |
| 1:53.2 | is a paperclip in this situation excellent i said rubber band not paperclip don't don't get ideas above |
| 1:59.6 | your station sorry my bad wrong item in the junk drawer. That's on me. Anyway, thank you very much for joining me, Jens. This is a listener questions episode, as myself and Taylor have made very clear. We're talking about stuff about the end of the domestic European season. Shall we get to it, Jens, with the first question? What do you say? Joe, feel like it? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I know you're like the jug of juice bursting through the wall from the brand, which is the name I forgot by that. Coolade, man. Kool-aid. All right. Well, they didn't have that where I grew up when I was a kid, to be fair. Although I'm going to drink the Kool-Aid of this episode and get started with the question from- |
| 2:36.4 | Did they have Flavor-Aid where you're from? |
| 2:38.6 | Flavorade? Yeah, that's when they actually drank, by the way. Kool-Aid gets a bad rap for that one. Jim Jones serving flavor aid, not Kool-Aid. We just had first aid, and it was what you performed when someone was in trouble. |
| 2:33.4 | That's all we had. |
| 2:34.0 | Or had too much cold aid? |
| 2:35.6 | No right aid, no flavor aid, no any kinds of aid apart from first. |
| 2:55.2 | If you ain't first your last, that's what we used to say where I came from. |
| 2:58.4 | Any two, let's get to the question with Josh Richards. |
