The boys are back giving you all the hot takes on the RSL roster that has struggled early in MLS play. Three games in with a win and two losses. We discuss the roster, and where we think the problems are. The players? The coaches? FO? We dive deep on this one. This episode and all episodes are presented by ABC4.com.

Join the boys at Royal Riot as we discuss the disappointing results in Champions Cup, go over the MLS home opener against Seattle and preview the upcoming San Diego matchup. We then welcome on our newest sponsor Waleska, the owner of the wonderful Italian restaurant Scelto. Thank you as always to our presenting sponsor ABC4.com

We’re back for our 2025 season preview! In today's episode, we give our final notes on the international window and break down some roster updates—including the recent injury relief signings of Aria Nagai, Kayla Colbert, and Sydney Jones, strengthening the squad as we head into the season. We share our hopes and dreams for the 2025 season, preview the March 15th home opener against Bay FC, and discuss what we’re expecting from the Royals this year. We (almost) agree on our starting XI that factors in recent injuries, and talk about Royal Riot’s expectations for a playoff berth. Plus, we reflect on the continued growth of the Royals fan base and what we’re most excited about for this season. All that and more as we get ready for what promises to be an exciting year ahead!
