With Noah out of commission for the week, Ari wins yet another battle for technology and lays down the Solo Dub Pod coming off the Seattle Sounders’ Round One Best-of-3 Series victory over the Houston Dynamo. As always, he hits our Agenda Check and takes your questions, before reacting to a wild slate of results from the start of the playoffs, including a highly comedic defeat for our friends the Columbus Crew.

It’s not every day your arch-rival has one of the most catastrophic meltdowns in MLS history, but the Portland Timbies did exactly that in the Wild Card round of the MLS Cup Playoffs. We break down the fine points of their 5-0 defeat to the Vancouver Whitecaps, Evander’s postgame tweets and Phil Neville and Ned Grabavoy’s blazing hot press conference.

After that we go through our playoff brackets and make our picks on who we think will make it to MLS Cup.
