Welp, the fellas recorded on Thursday and speculated about when the new MLR team and the new 2024 season schedule would come out...and, of course, the news broke after we edited this episode.

Such is life as a podcaster.

Anyway, the fellas cover some recent OGDC player moves, talk about the LA SVNS, and prep for the start of training camp on Monday.

We'll cover the Anthem news and revised MLR season schedule next week!

This is a jam-packed episode - after clearing up some OGDC news, we get straight into the leaked news of a new USA and World Rugby backed franchise in Charlotte (called it!), then dive into our first impressions of the new kits (for once released just before we recorded, instead of just after).

After accidentally not recording audio last week, AKP and Fitzy hopped on the mics to discuss what happens next with MLR, now that a second team in two weeks has dropped out of the league.

AKP and Fitzy asked many questions and provided a few answers in this free-wheeling conversation about the future of MLR.

It's not all doom and gloom though - listen in as the fellas remain optimistic (the sky is not falling!) about the league.

A few days ago, USA Eagle legend Marcel Brache blew up on social media by hinting that players would soon be able to pick their own numbers. Being a good natured guy, he agreed to jump on the pod for an interview to talk about the idea.
