Three Stars on the Badge — DC United 0-0 Philadelphia Union ft. Gregory Roche

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
