Kevin and The Chief hold a learned conversation on the cultural significance of Super Bowl Sunday, comparing it to other major sports events and holidays in American society. But the question is really, how can MLS Cup to become a more significant event? The need for MLS to engage fans and build hype has never felt more pressing. Then the conversation eventually moves to expectations for FC Cincinnati. Eventually the discussion moves on the recent kit reveal, preseason matches, and a modest proposal of using bold marketing strategies to attract attention, including a brilliant plan to lure Cristiano Ronaldo to Cincinnati.

Kevin, Grayson, and The Chief are trying to decide if they should take the preseason seriously or not. When you can't watch the matches yourself, is there more reason to panic or should you just let go? Because the sound-bites out of Florida sound a whole lot like last year, and your milage may vary on how that makes you feel. There's also a decent amount of FC Cincinnati news to get to including a new keeper being added, a strategic partnership being signed with Portuguese side Porto, and transfer rumors for Kevin Denkey!? Then in Part Two it's Cincinnati's own Kyle Smith who joins to talk about his time before The FC, getting two-footed by Djiby, and wearing purple as a LaSalle student.
