105 - #DaxWatch At MLS All-Star Week Aug 02, 2017

Show notes

We are here in Chicago for the MLS All-Star Game and it's been an insane few days. We've done so much during our time here and this episode recorded inside our tiny hotel/hostel room does not do justice to how much fun we are having. Make no mistake. We are here looking for Dax McCarty so we can finally get some closure on #DaxFruitBowl! And on top of that, we've already made a joke that's gone viral and the thing we're most upset about is not getting credit for it! Listen as we regale you with stories of MLS All-Star Week!
