New to the Crew Peter Brown

After back-to-back 3-1 wins for Crew, what better time to talk to our latest GUEST Kunal, who is the founder of Chicago based Supporter Group 3*1*CREW. We planned our sit-down chat the day of Rory the Baby's first vaccines. Top tip - don't podcast the day of a baby's first vaccines! Mel had to duck out, but Pete bravely soldiered on and had a very enjoyable chat. Turns out Kunal is one of the nicest men in the Crewniverse, so this is a good one. Enjoy it!

Mel was unavailable, so joining Pete and Eric this week is GUEST Michael Stahl. Michael is a freelance journalist from New York, a die-hard Crew fan and an all-round bloody nice bloke. He returns to the pod to discuss his recently published article about Fitness in MLS and the Crew Supporters Group he is a part of in NYC. Michael and Eric waste no time getting to know each other and Pete wishes he could sit and listen to them talk for hours on end. We discuss Michael's work, supporting Crew from afar, Hell is Real (this week, it really does feel real) and Heck is Plausible. Tune in, it's a good one! Go Crew!

A pod of two halves as we sit down first to chat about Portland and how great Crew are, and then a couple of days later to chat about Monterrey and how great Crew are. Pete has hard-hitting questions about the national anthem again and we discuss whether it being a Wednesday is a good answer for a lower attendance. Other deep chat reveals that JRR had a superb game and Cucho and Rossi are incredible players. Rory snores halfway through the recording so we hope you find it more entertaining than she did. Go Crew!

Never a dull moment being a Crew fan, it's been a crazy ten days or so, action packed with controversy on and off the field, injuries, red cards, an away defeat, and a couple of well-earned draws. Oh, and we had a baby. Go Crew!

Pete and Mel briefly discuss how they didn't really watch either of the Crew games in full but have excellent reasons and excuses as to why. Eric then arrives to once again pull things together and they kind of dissect and agree that two unbeaten away performances is no bad thing. There's chat about the upcoming Chicago game, and yet again another masterful performance from Eric, this time of the rewritten 'Purple Rain' by Minnesota legend Prince. Enjoy!
