[Note: Apologies for the echoey sound on my mic on this episode (Dave and Kyle sound great). Apparently my mic switched to the built-in laptop mic without me noticing and that’s on me. It sounds OK but not as good as usual.]

We’re back with a second show in between rivalry matches and we’re joined by Orlando City defender Kyle Smith! It’s about darn time we had Kyle on the show and we’re very thankful for his time.

Before our interview with Kyle, we updated some Orlando City news items and then had a breakout discussion from one of our mailbagbox questions. We selected our Bext XI from Orlando City’s history. There were some difficult decisons, but honestly, we felt like most of the spots were pretty easy to pick.

After that, Kyle jumped on with us to patiently answer multiple questions about whether he is, in fact, an accountant or wants to become one. On more topical pursuits, we asked Kyle his approach from week to week when he’s not sure which side of the field he’ll be playing on or even what position he might play. He also told us who his most difficult opponent in MLS has been, as well as what it’s like to face former Orlando City teammates when they move on to another team.

We then shifted back to the mailbagbox for some questions that didn’t require quite so much research and thought, and enjoyed a couple more questions that were embedded in a five-star review on Apple podcasts.

Remember, if there’s anything — and we do mean anything — you want us to address on the show, just ask us by tweeting it to us at @TheManeLand with the hashtag #AskTMLPC.

Finally, we discussed this weekend’s game as Orlando City hosts Atlanta United, giving our key matchups and our score prediction for another Southeast Showdown between the two bordering states.
