The Call Up

Jillian & Susannah get you all set for the holidays! Could we see Mario Balotelli or Luis Suarez come to MLS soon? Luis Robles and Brooks Lennon find new (and sunnier) homes. New USWNT coach Vlatko Andonovski joins the show and discusses plans for the future,  how he manages rockstar personalities, what he thinks of Carli Lloyd’s plan to maybe join the NFL, and if Alex Morgan will be back in time for the 2020 Olympics.

Chrissy Teigen is here for a Sounders victory, are you? Susannah and Jillian recap their MLS Cup experiences and try to track down some hats. Small plates, 69, 274 fans, and Michael Bradley run ins. The ladies and the Sounders are popping bottles, so come on and join the celebration!

The ladies prepare for MLS Cup. Are you here for Dax McCarty to Nashville SC?! Jill has a Jozy Altidore & Sloane Stephens spotting, and Susannah unpacks her LA suitcase (and some Twitter drama). Fresh off a year in an Airstream, 2x MLS Cup Champ & Souders legend Brad Evans joins the show. He brings us inside the Sounders locker room, Brian Schmetzer's new #eHarmonypic, and Chad Marshall in the shower stories. What will Schmetzer say pregame? Plus, a juicy round of "tell us about your (former) teammate."

Fresh off trips to Vatican City, Minneapolis, and everywhere in between, Jill and Susannah discuss a wild Round One of the Audi 2019 MLS Cup Playoffs. Susannah has an awkward run in with the LA Galaxy, while Jill has an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction. The ladies find out if LAFC supporters wanted to face the Galaxy in a playoff edition of El Trafico and former USWNT captain and current FOX studio analyst Leslie Osborne offers her take on who should replace Jill Ellis, all on Susannah Appreciation Day!

What do Josef Martinez, a sprinkler to the face, and a wardrobe malfunction have in common?! Not much, except they all made Jill & Susannah's Decision Day Presented by AT&T. The ladies share wild stories from the road and look ahead to the Audi 2019 MLS Cup Playoffs. Atlanta United's Justin Meram joins the show. The MLS veteran talks about finding new life in the A-T-L, what his "Grandpa" Michael Parkhurst always carries on the road, and his proposal that will put us all to shame. Are you here for crowning LAFC the best of all time...already?! Come on in, you won't regret it!

In this episode, Jill & Susannah are SO here for Luchi Gonzalez’s style, the career of Michael Parkhurst, and Hello Kitty. Bill Belichick death stares? Not so much. Plus, LA Galaxy’s Sebastian Lleget joins the ladies to dish on his relationship with superstar Becky G, his Instagram strategy, what Zlatan is really like as a teammate, and why the Galaxy are poised to make a deep playoff run. This one is ALL kinds of fun.
