In this episode, the boys ask what is the deal with Nashville SC lately?  After the team's third loss in a row, the boys start turning over tables to find the reasons about this recent disappointing run.  Is it the weather?  Is it a lack of roster depth?  Is it missing Dan Lovitz? God forbid, is it Eddi Tagseth?  The boys are certainly excited to see a revival of Jacob Shaffelburg's game, but the struggles of the team overall overs...

In this episode, the boys are getting nervous.  They review the recent loss to the lowly St. Louis City FC, and discuss all the terrible defensive collapses.  And woe is Joe! While the boys note that Nashville dodged any damage to their standings in the eastern conference, they still are concerned with the team's recent stretch of play and wonder if they peaked too soon.  Peaking too soon is not something Steve Martin ever did, tho...

In this very special time capsule episode, we share one from the archives of The Electric Gold Hour on WRVU 91.1 FM.  In this New Year's Eve episode from 1999, the boys reflect back on a wild ride through Nashville in the 1990's while also looking at what might lay ahead for the city.  The boys share their preparations for Y2K, and wonder whether the town might ever be significant enough to support an MLS team.  They lament the clo...

In this episode, the boys celebrate a week of wins against Columbus and Toronto by remarking on the incredible resilience of the team, their ability to play a variety of different styles, and some sick passes by Andy Najar.  There's also plenty of affection to go around for Sam Surridge as well, as his play has been incredible lately, and remind us again why Nashville isn't hosting the MLS all-star game?  Anyway, with all these goa...

In this episode, the boys pour one out for the Nashville SC undefeated streak, which finally came to an end against Inter Miami.  And sure, they could throw around blame to Joe Willis or Eddi Tagseth, but the real blame goes to the belief that parachute pants are way less frictionless than Evan ever expected.  Meanwhile, Johnny Perez is a revelation, and Hany Mukhtar is still the real MVP.  The guys show some love for another amazi...

In this very special episode, the boys skip the fanfare and get right to it.  They review the big win for NSC against New England on the road where Sam Surridge once again proved his dominance.  They list off his accomplishments as well as those of Hany Mukhtar, and yet, neither one has made an all-star team?  What could explain such an oversight?  Well, there's really only one explanation (or two... or three...) and it must be a c...
