    Sensible and Wise

    Our recording equipment was unprepared for Jon’s supportive, rather lukewarm take on the Roots’ offseason moves. But he persevered, and offered his endorsement. We also discuss whether FIFA can recover from awarding its “Peace Prize” to a failed real estate mogul intent on shredding the world order.

    Primarily in a Diagonal Direction

    Jack joins the Pod to give us some insight into USL CBA negotiations from the players’ side. And we discuss who we’d like to see back, and whether we have any rooting interest in the conference finals and USL championship.

    The Slide Deck Isn't Done

    There aren’t many words to describe this season that aren’t synonyms of “disappointing” or “frustrating,” but we nevertheless find about an hour’s worth of them.

    Embracing our fate, we all agree there’s no reason to be anything other than optimistic. Why be hurt in advance?

    Here's to Consistency

    Despite Aaron’s valiant attempts to talk about the recent two matches, Peter and Jon immediately turn their focus to the run-in and next year(?!). Doubts about the quality of the Western Conference are aired. (We do not discuss a certain player’s social media posts because the episode was recorded before we were aware of them.)

    I Didn't Do It and I Think I Deserve Praise For Not Doing It

    La Union causes Tower Bridge Batallion to crumble from the inside. Roots get less than they deserved for their performance against Sacramento. National Republicans develop an odd sense of pride in how scared they are of other people.
