In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West eschew watching what turns out to be possibly the worst MLS match of the year to poke gentle fun at DFW's newest soccer team and its complicated crest, and then turn their attention to Saturday's 3-0 loss to Minnesota United FC, reveal some behind-the-scenes observations about the post-match press conference and locker room vibes, and offer some perspective going forward. (If you want to feel better about things, or if you just want to feel like you're not alone in your frustration, you'll want to listen to this one.) 

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West declare T.S. Eliot wrong and contend that May is the cruelest month with its massive slate of matches, Phil goes through some game show questions and predicts the team's May record, they share initial thoughts about Robert Taylor coming to the team, fret about Minnesota United FC's talent, and finish out with some happy club news as well as a travel report from Moises' trip to Houston. 

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West muse on Robert Taylor and '80s music (and the tenuous connection hatched in Phil's brain), actually discuss how Robert Taylor might make an impact on his new club, marvel at the Houston Dynamo's current injury list, celebrate CJ Fodrey's extension, and talk a little field tilt as Austin FC's paradoxical (but winning) season rolls on (and as the MLS Power Rankings continue to be perplexed by what they're doing). 

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West talk not too painfully about last weekend's 5-1 debacle and where Verde goes from here, gives some vague hints about just how good the tifo at the Galaxy match is going to be, pay tribute to a fan we lost this past week, discuss why Verde need to win their next two matches, and close with Phil workshopping a nickname for a new rivalry that amped up a level. 

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West get nerdy on the completely reasonable series of events vaulting Verde to the top of the league, discuss their upcoming marquee match against Vancouver, miss Vanni Sartini, discuss Austin's playoff chances now that the team's banked 13 points in their first seven matches, celebrate Riley Thomas, and bring in a special guest with a score prediction. 

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West talk about Austin FC's three-match win streak, why getting closer to goal to take shots might work out better for them, why they like Brendan Hines-Ike and Myrto Uzuni so much, what they expect in the rematch with Phil Neville's Portland Timbers, and the VerDos match next Friday you might want to consider going to see. 

n this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss León's weird omission from the Club World Cup, Austin FC's small (not big or particularly breaking) reveal about the 2025 All-Star Game, the upcoming match against San Diego FC and only having one healthy center back (which we're totally not worried about), no goals scored from open play in four matches (which we're totally not worried about), and what might be troubling Dani Pereira. 

This week, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West are not worried about the Mikkel Desler injury, or no goals from open play from Austin FC in the first three matches, or the early working theory about 2025 Dani Pereira, or the match at LAFC on Saturday, or last night's VerDos match that ended like a certain first-team match from a couple of weeks ago, or the great emotional attachment people seem to have with their Whataburger, but they might be a little concerned about whether or not the sandwich artists at Thundercloud can get it together for people who just want to adhere to arcane Lenten dietary requirements. 

Moisés Chiullán and Phil West ponder whether Whataburger is a sad food or a celebration food, before getting into the unfortunate result against Portland, the dearth of scoring (so far), the upcoming match against the Rapids, and the start of the 2025 season for Austin FC II. Also, remember to turn your clocks forward on Sunday to begin with what Moisés depicts as the tyranny of Daylight Saving Time. 

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss the first tifo of 2025 and the first regular season match of 2025, cover the dearth of shots on target in the first match, expunge some of the demons from last season, look ahead to the upcoming match at Portland and a big watch party, and finally project performances for the first seven matches of the season and establish the harbingers of success, which involve a gala and kittens.
