We started this one with my daughter gloating about Vancouver's dismantling of Miami (captured in the photo upon the Whitecaps' first goal being scored, before the Fox folks even credited Vancouver with the goal but made sure to focus on Sad Miami Player) and then went from there.
(The foam finger was delivered from Vancouver directly from Whitecaps content creator extraordinaire Sarita Patel, one of the best people in MLS, who handed it to me in the tunnel by the locker rooms, leading to an odd post-match interview session where I talked to Austin players with the tip of a foam finger protruding from my laptop bag.)
In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West declare T.S. Eliot wrong and contend that May is the cruelest month with its massive slate of matches, Phil goes through some game show questions and predicts the team's May record, they share initial thoughts about Robert Taylor coming to the team, fret about Minnesota United FC's talent, and finish out with some happy club news as well as a travel report from Moises' trip to Houston.
