It’s a Thorns-extravaganza as Sam, Phuoc, and Wilder sit down to chat about the Thorns picking back up their season after the international break. What’s the key to Rob Gale overcoming his first loss as interim head coach? What are this team’s biggest strengths and weaknesses? And what do think about Portland’s group for the first ever Concacaf W Champions Cup?

All that and more in this episode, including: Wilder’s new cycling buddy, Phuoc’s potential Cascadia hype, and Sam’s potential podcaster’s jinx (please oh please don’t happen).
