Next up, Brian Dunseth takes us inside the 2001 shield-winning Miami Fusion locker room. From Ray Hudson-isms on the sideline to pregame preparations at 2am in New York City, he tells it all.

Andrew, David, Calen and Doyle head to the Midwest to name Mount Rushmore monuments for Sporting Kansas City (don’t forget the Wizards days) and Minnesota United.

Long-time Chicago Fire executive Peter Wilt also dropped by to help winnow down a packed pool of Fire Rushmore contenders and take you behind the scenes of one the league’s first great clubs.

Plus, Hudson River Derby memories – who came up with the home-run swing celebration? – and that Diego Lainez banter.

We kept it in the Big Apple for our Mount Rushmore project. How do you reconcile the Metrostars and Red Bulls eras? Should Juan Pablo Angel go up in stone? Which goalkeeper gets a bust?

Those memories may not have happened without the work of long-time US soccer executive Kevin Payne. D.C. United’s first president and CEO explains how he hired Bruce Arena, signed Marco Etcheverry and built the league’s first dynasty.

Then it’s time to bust out the chisels for a couple more Mount Rushmore excercises. First up, the San Jose Earthquakes. Should Landon Donovan be in consideration? What about DeRo?

Who belongs on Atlanta United’s Mount Rushmore? Extratime digs in to the Five Stripes’ brief history and two faces are shoo-ins to get the chisel treatment: Josef Martinez and Miguel Almiron. After that, though, it comes down to personal taste and whether you believe Julian Gressel’s trade to D.C. United ought to matter. So, what do you think? We’ve got our four in stone…

Plus, Nat Borchers joins us to tell stories from the Real Salt Lake glory years – CCL final, beginnings of the rivalry with Sporting KC and his most-loathed opponents – and help narrow down the pantheon in Sandy, where the fourth face is tough.

Beitashour walks you through the buildup to that game, the legacy of the rivalry, and where his career stands now. Finally, the guys choose LAFC's best-ever side, and debate the Mount Rushmore of the LA Galaxy but are forced to leave the deciding vote to you. Don’t forget we are going to hit every club’s history!

Also in this episode … Dax McCarty to Nashville? Good move, bad move or somewhere in between? Carlos Vela is your 2019 Landon Donovan MLS MVP. Shuffling in the Minnesota United front office gives Adrian Heath more power. Tab Ramos hires assistant coaches, and Darwin Quintero is linked to the Dynamo. Are Orlando City chasing Oscar Pareja?

In this episode, Andrew Wiebe, David Gass, Susannah Collins and Bobby Warshaw sit down to discuss two massive upsets in the Audi 2019 MLS Cup Playoffs. MLS Cup is set, and it’s déjà vu (again): Seattle Sounders vs. Toronto FC. Are you jacked or is it lame that we didn’t get a new matchup? What did the Sounders do to spoil LAFC’s season? More importantly, how will Bobby respond to Seattle head coach Brian Schmetzer’s national TV call out?

Former Sounder Steve Zakuani joins the show to explain the gameplan, take you behind the scenes before and after the match and describe what the next week will be like in the Emerald City. After, the crew wonders what LAFC’s long-term legacy will be without the ultimate prize? Still the best ever or just another great team? Opinions are split.

As for Atlanta United, they’ll have to settle for the double. Should we be surprised the Five Stripes didn’t show up? They’ve been up and down all year. Same for Toronto FC (for two years), so why were they the ones who got it done? Will Jozy be back in time for Cup? Does Greg Vanney get enough credit? In the mailbag, listeners dance on LAFC’s grave and burn Wiebe.

In this episode, Andrew Wiebe, David Gass, Matt Doyle and Calen Carr focus a microscope on the four teams left standing in the Audi 2019 MLS Cup Playoffs. First things first, what does it say that four of the most ambitious clubs (spending, facilities, expectations) in the league find themselves chasing MLS Cup? We try to answer that question.

Then the guys dig into each individual matchup. Is this actually a trap game for LAFC? Will Bob Bradley sit back or press? Should Dio start? For the Sounders, it’s time to appreciate their consistency! But will they have enough against MLS’s best-ever regular season squad and Carlos Vela in fine form?

Atlanta United fans don’t think their double gets enough respect, so Andrew gives it to them. They’re the clear favorites, but they got some questions to answer, mainly on the backline. As for Toronto FC, they won’t be scared of the Five Stripes, but they won’t have Jozy Altidore (we expect). What does that mean? How can they pull the upset?

In this episode, Andrew Wiebe, David Gass, Bobby Warshaw and Matt Doyle celebrate the opening weekend of the Audi 2019 MLS Cup Playoffs weekend. It was spell-binding, mind-boggling and absolutely stupid in the best possible way. Goals, controversial moments, extra time (times three) and home teams (sans Minnesota) handling business.

The guys dig into Adrian Heath’s lineup decisions, the Union’s historic win, the Red Bulls’ future, Portland’s head-scratching season, Wayne Rooney’s final MLS game, Dallas’ kids almost getting it done and Michael Parkhurst’s nasty injury.
