Episode 67 14/12/16 #KakaAndCollin

Mmmmm, smell that new blog smell. It's the last episode of 2014, with a giddy end of year feel to it. Looking back at the Christmas miracle that was the return of Dan Lovitz, the Robbie Findley trade, the inevitable re-signing of De Ro and all that other TFC stuff, including who deserves lavish gifts and who gets coal this year. Mark's very excited about his new idiot proof (so he thinks, we idiots prove him wrong)twitter handle, Tony gets defensive about Scarborough, Kristin displays an encyclopedic knowledge of Orlando's team meanwhile Duncan will touch you for Poutine. And we might mention that new website once or twice. #KakaAndCollin

Episode 66 - 14/12/10 #GinAndBruce

It's an MLS heavy episode as the usual panel goes over the MLS Cup final, finally agrees to more or less take Landon Donovan seriously for a couple of minutes, then gets into the recent trades and the upcoming expansion draft. Kristin tries to pretend her MLS Cup hangover is actually a migraine while the rest of us sometimes remember to to be quieter than normal, sometimes don't. Duncan describes the G spot, Tony's got weird uncle issues, and Mark gets really specific with a chocolate recommendation. #GinAndBruce

Episode 64 - 14/11/26 #NeverForgetToVoteForUs

The season review just won't die as this week we cast our jaded eye at the forwards. We also look at the new USL Pro team, the latest Red, dispersal draftee Marco Delgado, and all the usual nonsense you've come to expect. Mark's away checking out the competition (have you heard we're award nominated?) Tony combines hosting duties with nostalgia for Scarborough, Duncan wants to have another Darlington to support, while Kristin displays her love for terrible movies.

Episode 63 - 14/11/19 #TheFullies

The always excellent World Soccer Talk is having it's first ever MLS season awards, and one of the categories is best MLS Club podcast, and The Vocal Minority is nominated for that. So while listening to this week's episode, if you could wander over to their website and vote for us, that'd be much appreciated, thanks, and now on to this week's show
The Post season post mortem continues as the VMP crew takes a closer look at those who toiled in TFC's midfield last season. Then after the success of the mid season 'Thirdy awards'it's the much awaited end of season 'Fully awards', best goal, best game, best PR disaster and many many more awards to be won. Tony brings an unusually thorough scouting report of Panama, some classic 80's rap whooshes right over Duncan's head, Kristin's ready to fight for Justin Morrow and as always Mark's just desperate for a Hamilton based NASL team. #TheFullies.

Episode 62 - 14/11/13 #RainingMen

The usual gang is back together for this one and freed from the tyranny of having to watch TFC play, there's a distinctly giddy end of school feel to it. This is probably the dumbest, silliest, most inappropriate episode yet, covering the end of season press conference stragglers, silly season rumours, the playoffs, and starting our review of TFC's season, as well as more of your questions in #AskVMP. Kristin hosts the middle of the podcast smoothly, Mark reveals Landon Donovan's future, Tony's ready to take on the entire city of Boston, while Duncan has bad news for AC/DC. #RainingMen

Episode 61 - 14/11/05 #FagundezMarryKill

After a week off, dedication to new health and fitness analytics sees 3 of the 4 back in tip top podcasting shape. Tony's away, but apparently is 100% committed to the podcast, so no need to worry folks, he'll be back. We cast a longing eye at the playoffs, while picking apart the latest bloody big messes in TFC land, as well as debuting our new #AskVMP segment. Mark re-names Dan Lovitz, Duncan talks himself out of his own MLS Cup prediction, while eye candy is pretty much the only thing keeping Kristin going. #FagundezMarryKill

Episode 57 - 14/10/01 #Comeback

Call it a comeback. By TFC and also by Kristin who has escaped from Vancouver and makes a triumphant hosting return. Mark is back from England, and was expected to make his own comeback but had to withdraw due to an 'unexpected' injury re-occurence. So it's another three person podcast (tri-pod?), reviewing the Portland game, the burgeoning momentum and the still existing problems that the comeback barely hid. There's also talk of Defoe and the upcoming hiding to nothing in L.A. They also picture how the other half will live after the BMO field renovation. Kristin reveals sleepover secrets, Duncan is clearly still pining for Preki, and Tony brings a really strong footy-cliche game. This one is live from the tunnel club, and due to technical difficulties it sometimes kind of sounds like we're at the other end of a tunnel. Apologies. Our sound technicians are being soundly (ha!) whipped as we speak. #Comeback

Episode 56 14/09/25 #Momentum

A win. For the first time in a long time, there's a fun game to review after the laugher over Chivas USA. There's also a look at the Portland game more Leiweke drama, and Duncan joins us from the futurepast to give us details of the new BMO. Mark is still off in London searching for Jermain Defoe and Kristin is also missing this one, taking communism to the masses in Vancouver, so it's once again to supersub James Grossi we turn, and if we learn anything this week, it's don't mess with James or he'll go medieval on your ass. Tony meanwhile reveals his love for Zubaz pants. #Momentum

Episode 55 - 14/09/18 #Dramadome

Well, it's back into the dramadome as everyone gets their message out there again this week. Mark's in London searching for Jermain Defoe, with mixed (drinks) results, but the gang dissect the latest Leiwekeleak (tm'd btw Toronto Sun!) as well as Nelson and Bez's words, while also reviewing the Chicago game and practically guaranteeing a win over Chivas USA. Kristin says we deserve what we get, Tony comes very close to turning up 24 hours early and Duncan absolutely nails a Wilmer Cabrera accent. #Dramadome

Episode 54 - 14/09/11 #Unleashed

Mmmm, check out that new coach smell. TFC played nice with the Union as a Labour day promo, thoroughly dispiriting the gang, but not to worry, the Jermain Defoe situation cheers everyone up! Tony hosts this episode and thoroughly gets his Ferris on, while Mark shows off his mathematical chops. Kristin channels Tom Jones, and Duncan is back and determined to get the last word, #Unleashed

Episode 45 - 14/07/11 #UnderwaterWindtunnel

This week, the gang is short handed as Tony deals with a side affect from allowing mascots to stay over. Kristin controls the guys by having reviews with a word limit, Duncan becomes a playwright and Mark screws up the audio quality of the recording which you will hear because it sounds like it was recorded underwater and on a windy day. #UnderwaterWindtunnel

Episode 43 - 14/06/26 #BigKnots

TFC's back, everyone's excited about that, especially Tony who's excited about a new addition to Toronto's midfield, but first there's still plenty of world cup analysis to be done. Mark revels in the success of his Uruguayan heritage, Duncan finds some surprising options for England fans to turn to and #Concacaf brings out the sweary in everyone. Much to Kristin's chagrin, we learn pretty much everything can beome a Greek or Brazilian joke, and oh yeah, Clint Dempsey's got a new rap album coming out. #BigKnots

Episode 41 - 14/06/12 #bewbs

Likely the most trivially offensive podcast yet!  In this episode, the gang does their best to predict the winners of the group stages of the World Cup.  Kristin gives some love to the hammer and sickle, Mark screws up his flags far too often, Duncan drops f-bombs like he's declaring war and Tony tries to apply the Portugal supporters principle to England and their former colonies. #bewbs

Episode 40 - 14/06/05 #Mitsou

The gang is all back together and it's like they never missed a beat (good or bad, you decide). Mark is back and makes up for lost time in under 3 minutes, Kristin still thinks Wiedeman is a thing while trying not to kill everyone (again) and the table asks Duncan and Tony to stop talking about Mitsou and do some work. Also - Collin Samuel sure is a fatty! #Mitsou
