Marsch Goes Canuck, Gio Fails at Forest, Johnny Cardoso's Bright Future

  No Jared this week (like he has a life or something?) so Jason decided to do something a little different. Instead of breaking down the soccer news without the Rodius, Jason went through his deep-ish soccer jersey collection and shared stories about how he ended up with jersesys for "clubs" like Master Shake FC and the LA Riot.    This episode is obviously very visual, so if the podcast isn't cutting it for you, GO WATCH IT ON YOUTUBE!
