He shares how he came to the decision to retire at the end of the season, some memories from the past, and what might be in store for his future.

The guys also preview the upcoming, final home match of the regular season, against Seattle Sounders 2. Are they confident heading into the match? Is there anything that worries them about Seattle, who have been struggling to win matches this season? You’ll have to listen to find out.

They also briefly discuss the scheduling for the USL Cup final, which will take place on Thursday, November 8 at 5 pm PT. If Orange County end up hosting the final match, how will the early start time affect the home crowd?
