Happy Foot Sad Foot: An LAFC Podcast

Travis Helwig, Darren Miller, Vince La Rosa

The best LAFC podcast named after a sign in front of podiatrists office that closed like three years ago. Hosted by comedy writers Travis Helwig and Darren Miller and soccer expert Vince La Rosa, this podcast is the easiest way for new fans to fall in love with our club, and the most fun place for current LAFC fans to keep up with the team. We’ll preview every match, have some post-game call in shows, and maybe play some games too. Happy Foot Sad Foot is your gateway drug to Los Angeles Football

The dream of the full '90 died in Portland. Darren and Vince take the reigns after a loss in Portland so depressing and thorough that Travis, an LAFC fan trying to enjoy any woods at all, was forced to take the L too and was stripped of his internet connection. But that also set the bar high for Darren and Vince to descend further into darkness than "millennial stuck alone in the woods with no internet," so they let Heel of The Foot Geoff Tock come on and liken state of the season to euthanizing a
