70,000 fans in Baltimore. Lionel Messi. Wale at halftime. DC United falls 1-2 to Inter Miami, and the circus is officially over. Jon and Ted break down the spectacle, what it means for the club long-term, and whether the next two road games against Chicago and Atlanta are where this team finally finds its footing.

In this episode:

• DC United 1-2 Inter Miami: business success, soccer disappointment
• Renée Wilder's postgame: he's not rude, he's just Swiss
• Lucas Bartlett and the first goal — this one's on him
• Messi's goal: what can you do
• Gabriel Pirani: borderline invisible, days as a starter may be numbered
• Nikola Markovic comes on and immediately looks like he belongs
• Louis Munteanu: best performance yet — Jon says he starts next week
• Caden Clark off the bench: he's alive
• Jackson Hopkins semi-assist on Tai Baribo's goal — and should DC extend him now?
• Brandon Servania fading — is Markovic overtaking him?
• Supporter section issues in Baltimore
• Listener Q&A: the Baltimore charade, will Messi ever play at Audi Field, and more
• Chicago and Atlanta previews — over/under on points from the next two games
