This is a pilot for what I hope can be a regular episode with Jay Hernandez, a casual and briefer-than-normal conversation with an informed, opinionated fan of the US men's national team based in Los Angeles. The audio's pretty uneven but it's listenable, and it'll be better next time. We talked toxicity in the fanbase, Julian Araujo, Christian Pulisic, Gerson Perez's U20s, impressions of Orlando, and Berhalter.
