VP Marketing + Branded Content LAFC Marcus drops by the backyard.

We drive through the sprawl of Marcus' outerspace brain, from fatherhood, Slick Rick and the right or wrong way to deal with a loss.

The FCFC family is growing. Alex Cervantes (ACNOHO) & Edgar Garibay (GARIBAYPHOTO) stop by the backyard for the biggest family pod yet.

Casey Dugan of LA Gooners and LA county kickball fame stops by the backyard this week to talk anything other than tactics. Hear from the hopeless romantically-inclined founder of the Arsenal’s Los Angeles chapter, as he touches on picking up British accents in the pub, his stint in ATL and finally how soccer just might be getting too cool for him.

This week in the backyard we finally have Ben Chi, a name that's been mentioned countless times on the pod before. In addition to being LAFC's Brand + Community Merchandising Manager, Ben was highly influential in the formation of TSG. We talk logo design, Kanye West + stories of Slim going to the Playboy mansion.

Vince La Rosa, the voice for all things LAFC.com stops by the backyard to talk long hair, the LA rock scene + the tattoo that wowed Coach Bob Bradley. To hear more of Vince, checkout the podcast he co-hosts with Max Bretos "INSIDE LAFC" : https://soundcloud.com/losangelesfootballclub

The three-headed Cuervo: Gil, Christian and Oscar stop by the backyard to talk first football memories, Oscar's Jorge Campos kit and why the sound of Aztec drums can be heard ringing through the North End. For anyone who's had the pleasure of stopping by a Cuervos tailgate or watch party, you know this one is for the North End family. Enjoy the origin story of one of the truly foundational members of LAFC. "CAW MOTHAFUKIN CAW"

Benny Thrifts, pride of the Philippines, sets up shop in the backyard and walks us thru memory lane. We talk some capo history, memorabilia and glassware from decades past and Benny's dalliance in the dramatic arts in High School. One of our favorite pods to date. Benny just kept handing out gifts. Let this be our gift to you. link in bio

2S + 1DH welcome both the Vice President and the President of the 3252 — aka the Capo Chicos — to the backyard. An exotic bobble head is gifted. Football memories are shared. Bottle rockets are involved. It's everything you've come to expect and unexpect to transpire atop the flame-throwing table where the crew poke and prod and touch on the zeitgeist of our time. Yerp. That part. Topo Chico sponsor the pod.

2S + 1 DH welcome the Luis Orellana of Niky's Sports to the backyard. Topics addressed include: growing up in a football shop, getting shook when your favorite player shows up, the intersection of fashion and this beautiful game, as well as the future of the sport in the City of Angels. Josh's Knicks mentions are brief, as they must be.

2S + 1 DH welcome the big dawg Rich Orosco to the podcast. If you know the man, you'll get to know where the hype was born and what's next. If you're new to the legend of LAFC Rich, get ready for a wild ride. As always. powered by tea and mediocre banter.

The crew return to the backyard along with guests Julio & Rey — of Somos LAFC Podcast & District 9 Ultras fame — to hear great stories of football culture, passion, secret sauce, and otherwise bask in the memories of two of the 3252's most integral leaders.

Josh vanishes and Slim & Dweez head to a gymnasium in search of solace — they find it in an LAFC tifo-painting session and through conversations with the 3252's Away Day Coordinator (Rafa) & the 3252's treasurer (Myra).

We celebrate an anniversary of hanging out with an in-the-wild podcast...some future guests make appearances, some ish goes down. You know what it is. Live out of the Beer Belly back patio.

We had 1/2 of @LafcBonestorm stop by the house to talk Simpsons, cannabis product and the Season 2 Revenge List that's taken a life of its own. We recorded inside Dweez' kitchen b/c of the wind. No pan dulce truck today :/ Hosts (IG): joshspice, slimkoda, adweezy, fcfcpod

The FCFC trio chat with some of their guests, past, present, and future — Monty, Benny, Ruben, Mark, Edgar, Ben — about future culturally futbolly topics from atop The Fields LA in the midst of drumming, flag painting, and other Saturday afternoon LAFC activities.

FutbolKarla — of the north end & MLS Soccer For All fame — schools the FCFC hosts on Liga MX, Adidas, liberation theology, & proxy wars. Wine glasses are involved. Live, as usual, from the backyard in Exposition Park.

Raymond An — aka @Raynaldinho — visits the backyard to discuss his journey from Korea to the DMV to LA and how he created the illest football flag of all time and brought it around the world.
