Hello again! This week Dave an Carol dive into what’s wrong with the LA Galaxy. Also, does Giovinco’s tantrum at being subbed mean anything? And finally, the Minnesota broadcast team features Kendra de St Aubin, who you might notice is a woman. Dave and Carol both have some feels about the number of women involved in the game. Enjoy!

And for some extra’s, here’s some of the things we mentioned in the show:

Hello everybody! This week we’re joined by a new guest, our good friend David. In lieu of having a coherent conversation on a pointed subject, we just rambled into the mics for about forty minutes. Then Carol finally put us back on track to talk about the new environmentally friendly jerseys worn this week by four MLS teams. Was it a gimmick, or a real step taken to help our oceans? Enjoy!

Here are the kits Seattle and LA wore this week:
