Happy Monday! There is now a four-way tie for MLS's single-season goal record. Josef Martinez did it by August, and now the only question is by how much will he blow the mark out of the water. The guys also tackle the Supporters' Shield race, #SenorWayne and D.C. United, the wacky and wild Western Conference, Caleb Porter's comments to The Athletic, the Jozy Altidore rumors and which MLS team they'd like to see be the subject of a Hard Knocks-style documentary.

Plus, Heineken Rivalry Week + a trip to the in-laws? How is Wiebe going to balance soccer and family life? Suggestions appreciated
