On today's episode, Darren and John recap a great weekend for San Diego FC and a pretty bad weekend for the San Diego Padres.Starting with the Padres, the guys dance around why this team feels so "nebulous" and end up wondering who the "real" version of Fernando Tatis Jr. is. The team will only go so far as their young superstar can take them, but do we even know how far that is anymore?After getting depressed about the Padres, the guys turn their attention to SDFC, who sit at the top of the Western Conference after claiming four straight wins. They eked out a tough one in Dallas, and the guys dig into what they saw to try and figure out how they turned a loss into a draw into a win in the final minutes of the match.....and is it something that SDFC was planning for? Are late-game heroics a strategy?Finally, the guys talk about Beyonce's flirt with danger at a concert over the weekend and wonder why more musicians are finding it necessary to endanger themselves on tour.00:00 - Introductions / Personal weekend recaps09:55 - Padres lose series to Reds, Preller looks for hope32:15 - SDFC shows resilience in Dallas, what are their expectations now?60:30 - Beyonce is safe, but why is she flying?Section 1904 is a community-supported media company.
