Hello Colorado Rapids fans! This week on Holding The High Line, things get weird (we have way too much fun with some memes). The guys do Good Thing, Bad Thing, Big Thing, on the Colorado Rapids set piece explosion against Montreal Impact. We preview the San Jose Earthquakes and discuss what the Pids have to do to flip the result from two weeks ago. Mark sits down for a Lalas Abubakar interview.

We also have some ridiculous and weird Ask HTHL questions involving previous Rapids teams that were bad, zombie apocalypses, and plague-themed mascots. We apologize in advance to all five listeners who listen to the end for offending y'all.

Holding The High Line has partnered up with the Denver Post to sustainably grow soccer journalism in Colorado. Listeners can get a three month trial of the Denver Post digital for 99¢/month.
