Ted is here to break down a wild week that saw 7 goals and 4 points. He talks briefly about the 4-4 draw against the New York Red Bulls that saw the team come back 3 times. He also talks about the wild 3-2 win at home against Orlando including goals from the shiny DP from Romania

Ted's on vacation so Jon called in Gregory Roche from Pitch Pass for 90 minutes of group therapy. DC United grind out a 0-0 draw against Philadelphia Union, the CSO posts AI-written LinkedIn content that doesn't know how many championship stars are on the badge, and Louis Munteanu's future becomes a very real conversation.

In this episode:

• DC United 0-0 Philadelphia Union: defensively solid, offensively invisible
• The LinkedIn Chronicles: AI-written post cites wrong number of stars on the badge
• Renée Weiler sounding like a podcast host in press conferences, not a coach
• Open Cup exit vs One Knoxville SC: the beginning of the end for Gabriel Pirani?
• Was this Weiler's transfer window or the doctor's? Gregory makes the case
• The schizophrenic roster build: great defense, no attacking plan
• Louis Munteanu: Gregory raises the uncomfortable question — is he gone before the end of the season?
• Silvan Hefti and Aaron Herrera: the right back situation explained
• Gavin Turner and Caden Clark need more minutes — both hosts agree
• Nikola Markovic in the six role: working for now
• The Pirani Summer/Fall cycle: it's coming, it always comes
• Locker room sources: reportedly not well-liked internally
• Is the season done and dusted? Gregory says absolutely not
• Eastern Conference reality check: DC United are in a playoff spot
• How to actually market this club — Eddie Pope, Clyde Sims, the flag
• The academy, Kevin Flanagan, and the talent rich DC area
• Orlando preview: yin and yang of MLS mediocrity
• Full listener Q&A

Vamos.

DC United fall 0-1 to the New England Revolution and Louis Munteanu still hasn't started a game. Jon has a theory. Renée Wilder won't say. Jon and Ted break down the loss, the Munteanu situation, Aaron Herrera's return, and whether this team should go all in on Wednesday's Open Cup match.

In this episode:

• DC United 0-1 New England Revolution: another clean sheet on the wrong side
• The Louis Munteanu situation: $7 million, still no start, Jon has questions
• Why does Renée Wilder keep starting the same lineup?
• Gabriel Pirani: grading on a curve per Jason Anderson, still not good enough per Jon
• Aaron Herrera returns: solid, five of five on crosses, right role in the system
• Kye Rowles back: DC's best defensive pairing in years
• Tai Baribo out injured — Foot Mob says mid-May
• Hakim Karamoko: still listed as illness, still no update
• Matti Peltola hits the post again — the brand is building
• Silvan Hefti and the goal conceded
• Jackson Hopkins as false 9: too close to goal, not his best
• Gavin Turner off the bench: flying around with something to prove
• Louis Munteanu's 30 minutes: what we saw
• Would Renée Wilder get fired or walk away first?
• Open Cup Wednesday vs one Knocks: full rotation? Jon says yes
• Listener Q&A: Atlanta transfers, Wilder's future, lineup questions
