Why do former DC United players start scoring the moment they leave? Jon compares the club to a car whose designer changes every 20 minutes: one wants triangle wheels, the next wants a tank, and at the end everyone blames the parts.

Jon and Ted break down a 2-1 win over the New York Red Bulls in what may be the last Atlantic Cup, then a 4-1 loss at Orlando City without the suspended Lucas Bartlett.

In this episode:
- The final Atlantic Cup and that Red Bulls and DC United social media collab
- Oscar Avilez's first start, a week after the hosts asked for the kids
- Why former DC United players thrive at their next clubs
- Sean Johnson's case for a raise, and Ted's referee take on Bartlett's second yellow
- Orlando's summer signings and DC United's thin roster
- The playoff slap fest, how to measure progress, and what the hosts want to hear from René Weiler and ownership

Next match: DC United at FC Cincinnati, Wednesday, October 21, then the return match at Audi Field on Saturday, October 24.

Inter Miami 4, DC United 0. The game plan was gone by the second minute, and Jon and Ted are left asking a bigger question: who is actually running this club? Jon borrows an old SNL bit about a band where everyone wants to play bass. Ted says nobody is conducting the orchestra.

- What went wrong in Miami, from the second-minute goal to the back-post breakdowns

- Why Wednesday against the New York Red Bulls is a must-win

- Louis Munteanu's injury and Tai Baribo's cold streak

- Listener question: does ownership care, or is this just chaos from the top?

- Why the next Designated Player has to be the club's biggest signing yet

- Jon's free advice for the front office, and Ted's case for stability over another rebuild

No DPs, a 10:30 p.m. kickoff, and the best team in the West on the other side. D.C. United still left BC Place with a 3-3 draw, and Kimito Nono scored his first two MLS goals to get them there. Ted says he's the club's best summer signing since Wayne Rooney. Jon and Ted break it all down.

In this episode:

- Nono's brace, Lucas Bartlett's third goal of the season, and the Rooney comparison

- Silvan Hefti, Nono, and who starts at right back

- Andre Dozzell, Jackson Hopkins and Brandon Servania in midfield without Matti Peltola

- Nikola Markovic: center back, midfielder or striker?

- Has this performance earned René Weiler more time and more players?

- Patreon and Discord questions on the DPs, Bartlett's celebration and the playoff race

- The SC Paderborn friendly, the new MLS format and what's missing from Apple TV's coverage
