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!
