101. LA Galaxy Midfielder Memo Rodriguez

51 minutes

With a new club and new family, it's been a wild past few years for Memo Rodriguez. After spending over a decade in the Houston Dynamo organization — from the youth ranks to the USL affiliate to the first team — Rodriguez joined the LA Galaxy this offseason, where he's looking to not only continue his solid MLS career but also compete for trophies.

We sat down with the veteran midfielder to discuss how he's gotten on with his new club, what he misses most from Texas, and how he spends his time with his teammates off the pitch (spoiler: it involves reality dating shows).
