Matchday 4 is here, and the "honeymoon phase" of the season is officially over. This Saturday, Bank of America Stadium isn't just hosting a game—it's hosting the global spectacle of Inter Miami.
But beyond the pink jerseys and the international headlines, there’s a massive statement game waiting for Charlotte FC. To help us cut through the noise, lead MLS on Apple TV analyst Taylor Twellman joins our First Sip.
In this episode, we step inside the broadcast booth with Taylor to discuss his role as a "narrative guardian" and how he ensures the grit of The Crown isn't lost in the global spotlight. We break down the internal temperature of a locker room coming off a streak-snapping win over Austin, the physical midfield chess match awaiting Ashley Westwood, and the unspoken "muted mic" signals Taylor shares with partner Jake Zivin when a broadcast goes completely off the rails.
Grab your brew and get ready for Matchday 4. Kickoff against Inter Miami is Saturday at 7:30 PM ET, streaming live and free on MLS on Apple TV. Cheers!
