Heineken Rivalry Week is in full swing and the guys spend more than an hour in Wiebe's backyard sinking their teeth into the juiciest topics. First up, the NY Derby, in which the red and blue sides of New York shared the points but left with entirely different tastes in their mouths.

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

Everyone has an opinion about Jozy Altidore, but let's talk facts. The man has scored in five straight finals, and his goals sent Toronto FC to yet another Concacaf Champions League appearance. Andrew, David and Bobby dig into midweek MLS madness, then Katie Witham joins to talk about FS1's all-female broadcast team on Sunday and the tricks of the trade on the sideline.

Plus, Bobby responds to Sounders fans and listeners pose philosophical questions in the mailbag.

Plus, you won’t want to miss Bobby’s epic rant in the mailbag.
