The gang is mostly here with special guest from The Athletic – Toronto, TFC beat writer Joshua Kloke (@joshuakloke)to talk the thumping of New York, look ahead to a thumping in DC (mostly), talk All-Star Game, VAR, CBC and other acronyms. In this episode, Duncan flaunts his rarely-bridled pessimism, Kristin may hate Canada but loves Canadian television, Mark believes DC United has a long way to go and Joshua is better at running gags more than anyone else.
