It's a quasi-emergency for Moisés Chiullán and Phil West, who decided to record on a Wednesday following Austin FC's Leagues Cup victories against Pumas UNAM and CF Monterrey. They discuss what this means for the remainder of the regular season, what could happen in the Leagues Cup knockout rounds, what to glean from news about the player that Austin FC didn't get in the summer transfer window, and a theory on who might exit the Austin FC roster next. Also, Phil was recording in the vicinity of five dogs, so that's explored in its own inimitable way. 

Leagues Cup is here! While that doesn't necessarily excite everyone, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss Austin FC's matchups with Pumas UNAM and CF Monterrey, the controversy surrounding Leagues Cup and Open Cup and whether they can co-exist, the kerfuffle over Dani Pereira and the proposed fan boycott (and the perils of the reporter becoming part of the story), and a brief detour into Canada's soccer drones. 

This week, Phil West and Moisés Chiullán discuss rough matches against Seattle Sounders FC and FC Dallas, stadium food in Frisco, things Alex Ring said (and why we still like talking to him), Osman Bukari's first experience with jollof rice in Austin, and some Wolff Out matters (but maybe not in the way that you think.) 

This week, Phil West and Moisés Chiullán talk about Austin FC's upcoming matches against Seattle Sounders FC and FC Dallas, even with the shadow of Gregg Berhalter's dismissal as the U.S. Men's National Team coach lingering over everything. They also put Gyasi Zardes in charge of a bunch of things, including fixing the U.S. Open Cup, and continue to count the days until Osman Bukari gets to play for Verde. 

High off Portugal's exit from the Euros at the hands of their beloved France, Phil West and Moisés Chiullán discuss the recent loss to Sporting Kansas City and the offensive woes that were further revealed, what lies in wait Saturday night with Austin FC's match against NYCFC, and then they take a detour into Gregg Berhalter and the U.S. men's national team before taking further detours into clack fans and a YouTube channel run by precocious children. 

This week, Phil West and Moisés Chiullán talk about the Osman Bukari welcome party, how to correctly pronounce Osman Bukari, Austin nightclubs that Austin FC could use for future welcome parties, some secrets that Rodolfo Borrell divulged about acquiring the trio of new players, Josh Wolff's first rule of coaching, whether Peter Vermes might someday be coaching 11 cockroaches in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and which VerDos players might be called up now that Alonso Ramirez can't be. 

This week, Phil West and Moisés Chiullán discuss the wisdom of going to five in the back to close out matches, Matthew McConaughey's "bottle it" tweet, Josh Wolff's need for "firepower," and share some early impressions about how Copa America might shape up. 

In a special bonus mailbag edition, Phil West and Moisés Chiullán cover the Bukari and Desler signings in some detail, revisit the fun Miguel Borja rumors from this past January, predict how Rodolfo Borrell will celebrate once the roster's been scrubbed of Claudio Reyna contracts, and get into the feelings of being a soccer fan. (Note: This was recorded on Monday afternoon, and finally polished to a fine podcast gem on Wednesday morning.) 

In an international break in which you may have already forgotten about the heady rush of the official green smoke-aided Mikkel Desler announcement (which you already all knew about), Phil West is joined by Zac Graham of the North End Podcast to talk about how to execute a "three-beer half," Jock Jams, the Austin FC season so far, and the 9+2 theory that could lead you to some spirited starter vs. bench depth debates to keep you sated until the next episode of Denverde restarts the season on June 15. (Somehow, they didn't bring up their mutual love for Victor Wembenyama, but they did manage a bit of Best Ball talk.) 

Phil West is joined by Michelle Sanchez for an Andrew Wiebe fashion report, thoughts on Austin FC's signing of Osman Bukari, the current woes of Sebastián Driussi (with three distinctly bummer-making words, "chronic groin injury"), further thoughts on Emiliano Rigoni's departure, and what Owen Wolff should do at this phase of his career.
