  • Fancy Seats, Hipster Adjacent and Are Canadians Pussies? Vancouver at Home.
    Live in-game commentary from BMO stadium as we take on the top of the Western Conference, Whitecaps. I take a field trip to the west side of the stadium and sit beside the LAFC bench as I am joined on co-comms by fellow TSG member Dave Smith.
    We chatted about:
    - Tafari is a Rolls Royce, Porteous is an F250
    - Why we missed Bouanga's goal. (It was Travis from Happy Sad Foot's fault!)
    - And the time I first learned about LA's use of the word 'adjacent!'

  • Hitchhikers, Hats and Jesus is Back, Baby! Red Bull New York at Home
    I was flying solo once in Section 210 until a surprise visitor popped over from the North End to join in the banter as we took on Red Bull New York. Or is it New York Red Bull. Either way, they're still from New Jersey!
    We chatted about:
    - Picking up random LAFC fans off the street on the drive to BMO.
    - The Kids are alright as the injuries pile up.
    - I learned a little bit about Igor Jesus upon his return to first team football in over a year.
    - Halftime Thoughts from the NE Concourse with fans.
    - And we couldn't help ourselves bringing up the weather here in LA again!

  • We Couldn't Score in a Brothel: Portland at Home.
    With Murray otherwise engaged, I invited North End legend and 42 Originals Supporter Group member Matt Kaestner to sit in for this episode of The LAFC Way.
    We chatted about:
    - LAFC's Kevin Keegan years! When Bob Bradley had us playing hugley entertaining football, albeit with a lack of silverware to show.
    - Why winning the Supporters Shield isn't the same as winning the Premier League.
    - How Matt got a "full ride" in college and how that phrase means something totally different in Ireland.
    - And do we have the most handsome squad in MLS.
