Danny Brams & Kevin Egan discuss the fun of hosting shows that have become appointment television for MLS fans (and why everyone hates the New York Red Bulls).

We even found a few extra minutes to preview this weekend's Charlotte vs San Jose match, touch on why Kevin still favors Messi for 2025 MLS MVP, and dig into his roots in Gaelic Football and other GAA games.
