In this week’s episode, the whole gang is in tact for the last live podcast of the calendar year where they review the expansion drafts and do their annual team review rundown. In this episode Duncan coughs a lot, Kristin tries to get in on the coughing game, Mark triggers the coughing fits and Tony wears glasses for the first time.

All we ask for this Christmas is a 5 star rating on iTunes. Is that too much to ask?

The gang is all here to reflect on what we endured on Saturday, look ahead to the Expansion Draft (at time of recording because we’re so timely) and the usual malarkey. In this episode, Mark forces down his celebratory libation, Kristin suggests masochistic relationships, Tony bestows Hagglund with a nickname and Duncan outlines what GAM and TAM exactly is.

Apparently a 5 star rating on iTunes isn’t enough to lock in a title. You’ve got a year to up your rating game, people!

The gang is all here, because we wouldn’t miss this one for anything. We cover the absolute maddening classic that was the second leg of the Montreal game, look ahead to a Cup final (I know, right), discuss the frustration of tickets, and much more malarkey. In this episode, Mark is still considering a rival (he’s special like that), Duncan really knows his Toronto rapper people, Kristin hits her microphone, like, five times during the recording and Tony brings to light his anti-cherry on cake agenda.

This week’s #bitchyBlank is : TFC should provide _________ to keep us warm at the MLS Cup Final match.

Editor’s note : Mark also realizes he meant to reference Dallas v Edmonton and/or Detroit v Colorado in his “seven games makes a rivalry regardless of geography” remark.

The only way to guarantee an MLS Cup victory is with a 5 star rating on iTunes. No rating means you hate TFC (even more than Tony does, sometimes).

The gang is mostly here as Tony secretly enjoys the Grey Cup by himself to review the Montreal game, review the Western Conference final, look ahead to the second leg at home, lament the departure of Jurgen Klinnsman and the usual silliness. In this episode, Kristin is selective with the reigns on the show, Mark chooses an odd time to jump on a bandwagon that is a few months too late, Duncan squats on a #bitchyBlanks answer immediately, and super substitute James Grossi (@grawsee) tries to subvert and hijack the whole show – Tony would be proud.

This week’s #bitchyBlank is : To celebrate winning the Eastern Conference Final, TFC put _________ in the locker room.

We gave you extra this week, so could you give us a little bit extra with a 5 star rating on iTunes? Cool.

The gang is three quarters here to look at the ongoings of Canadian football, preview the Western Conference first leg, talk TFC surveys, get excited for the Montreal match and the usual malarkey. In this episode, Mark imagines a multi-Preki universe, Kristin mocks those of us with jobs, and Duncan adds a syllable to the name of a nation.

This week’s #bitchyBlank is : The next hire by the CPL will be ______________

You should be thanking us with a 5 star rating on iTunes for not releasing one this week where we talked even less TFC content (than usual) and waiting to record until later in the week.

The gang is all here in delight of the NYCFC drubbing, look ahead for the rest of the playoffs, and the usual malarkey. In this episode, Mark sings the best of Patrick Swayze, Tony gets ready for this, Duncan reveals how he was the little brother and Kristin loses it in near-record time.

This week’s #bitchyBlank is : Don Garber did ___________ when he realized a Canadian team was in the final.

If we said that a 5 star rating on iTunes would guarantee a TFC MLS Cup final appearance, wouldja do it? Well, then we are guaranteeing it, but only if you give us a rating.

Most of the gang is in attendance to bask in the glory that is two home playoff dates and two victories against Philadelphia and NYC as well as looking ahead to Sunday’s match against the Pizza Rats. In this episode, Mark assumes the awards given for winning each round of the playoffs, Kristin assumes that everyone knows about a particular graphical representation and Duncan assumes that we believe him when he tells us of his season long attitude towards the club.

A 5 star rating on iTunes is just like supporting the away team on a cup tie so please do your part.

The gang is all in as Mark is running the show this week to review the game against Chicago, look ahead to Philadelphia, predict the entire playoffs and so much more. In this episode, Kristin asks a question, Mark gets a bit too pleased with himself, Duncan hears “Corky”, and Tony tries to stop a situation from spiralling out of control.

You know what would help our playoff chances? A 5 star rating on iTunes. Or maybe you want us to crash out of the MLS Podcast Cup. That’s fine.

The gang is all here, and in a bit of an 80s mood more than usual, to review the Montreal match, look ahead to the season finale at home to Chicago as well as the usual silliness. In this episode Tony instigates a metaphorical food fight (again), Kristin throws an un-Kristin-like heinous burn, Mark loves his Suchitepéquez on the spicy side, and Duncan makes a very bold prediction.

It don’t mean nothin’ if you can’t give us a 5 star rating on iTunes. But we think there’s something about you.

The gang is all present and accounted for (finally!) for some talk about Canada’s national teams, look ahead to Montreal, reflect on the holiday passed and the usual malarkey. In this episode Duncan introduces the concept of the trousers of reason, Kristin channels some goat cheese,
