Mikka and Christian get together in a weirdly Baki-less Baki Studios. The shorthanded Crew try to keep things normal without founder-turned-father Phil and discuss a historic victory over Phoenix Rising FC on the road. There's chat about the ill-disciplined affair that produced 8 yellow cards and a straight red card for good measure, the exorcising of demons from the penalty spot for Josue Aaron Gomez, and another clean sheet for Evan Newton.

 

The Crew then previews the weekend's marquee matchup as El Paso Locomotive FC travel to the Motor City for a clash with newly 'promoted' Detroit City FC in the USL Championship's Eastern Conference. There's chat about the bizarre 10:00 am kickoff, national exposure on ESPN, and whether Locomotive can perform in the cauldron that is Keyworth Stadium.
