Extra time is exactly how I find out what's going on in the MLS.

Get off.

Come on.

Maybe this podcast has influenced me a little bit as well.

Everybody up here, every single day goes into the office, into the laboratory,

and trying to cook up some great stuff for you guys.

That's why he's here. Wow, from New York, New York, you are listening to Extra Time. I'm Andrew Weeby with my partner in soccer on this November 18th Monday.

Dax McCarty. It's a very special interview with the Atlanta United midfielder, an MLS legend nearing, but not at the end of his career after the biggest upset in the history of this league sent the five stripes on and knocked Inter Miami and Lino Messi out of the Audi MLS Cup playoffs. I'll chat with Dax about that experience, about the season overall and his career, including what it's like to wrap it all up with his young family in tow.

Should be a great conversation. In the meantime, get ready for our previews on Thursday of the conference semifinals.

Two matches on Saturday, two matches on Sunday. Matt Doyle, and I'll break it all down later on this week in detail.

But in the meantime, here's Dax. Enjoy everyone.

It's our absolute pleasure on extra time to welcome the man, the myth, the legend.

Dax McCarty, yes, competition on the podcasting space, Dax, but we'll allow it, all right?

You're just trying to finish this career out in style, okay?

I'm no competition for you guys.

I don't know what you're talking about.

That's a filthy, filthy lie.

Biggest upset in MLS history, man.

Do you do you subscribe to that?

Does that sound right to you at Atlanta over Miami?

That's what people keep saying.

I subscribe to it up to a certain point.
