I guess we're starting a tradition now of starting every season IN A GODDAMN FREEZER!!!! Darren and Vince react to LAFC's first competitive match in below-zero weather, and an above-zero scoreline that got them 1 away goal going into the second leg of this competition in a week (in beautiful Los Angeles, California, the only reasonable place to play a soccer game). We welcomed old friends calling into the show to give their reactions too, and depending on who you listen to, get ready to get mad, or just relax. Oh also Geoff Tock, Heel of The Foot, Terrible Human, came on the show too. I'd describe his tactics as "spray and pray." Aaron Long Teach Giroud How To Finish Challenge!

It brings me no pleasure to say this but… that’s sports baby. Darren, Vince, and Travis break down what is a disastrous end of a very weird season. We feel it all: anger, sadness, grief, maybe even a little horny? Then Noah from Lobbing Scorchers comes on to rub it in and we lose our minds. This wasn’t our smartest postgame pod but it WAS our stupidest. Be back with a season recap episode soon but for now, let’s feel our feelings together. It’s okay to feel like shit.
