Sam Fahmi from Massive Report stops by (and by that I mean I crashed his recording) to talk Crew soccer and how he became a Crew fan/photographer.

Hey folks.  Matt here.  I've kinda wrestled with whether should I put a tag on the beginning of this show addressing Jim's passing and for this week I've elected not to.  I've recorded it and re-recorded it a few times and I'm not saying what I want to say.     With that said the show is back.  Should be a bi-weekly format for a while here with a rotating series of guests.  This week it's Morgan Hughes!   New intro and music coming next week as well.  Thanks for sticking with us!

Well Crew 2 went and won the whole dang thing.   Crew 1 are out and so is Caleb.

Man real life has gotten in the way of our silly soccer podcast.  Sorry about that.  Here's a short episode to tide ya over.   Crew still have a shot at the playoffs. Crew 2 played lights out against Toronto!   We'll be back next week with a normal size one.

Missed last week due to work, back at it again this week.

We didn't see any ghosts this week, but boy were the lights low.  Some might say it was romantic, but honestly it was just creepy.   That put us in the right mood to preview Hell is Real leg 2, ask the important burning questions like Who's gonna stop Philly? and thank our new sponsor Wegners Grocery.

In this one we break down the Crew match and then kinda go off the rails about branding and marketing for like 30 minutes.     ... so a normal episode.

So some lady at the Roger Waters show found the wooden spoon Matt hid in the NWA sign before Hell is Real and he found out during recording.  He was less than pleased.   Things discussed:   Crew beats NYC The playoff push/home team push All star games suck! Denver preview

We're back at Ruby's this week where Matt is now 100% sure the basement is haunted.   Topics discussed this week.   Maybe we don't run the entire offence through 2 players. The weather. More of the weather. Stupid lightning. ... that's about it.

Well Jimmy got no sleep last night so it's a bit of a loopy one.  We talk about the draw v NE, the Open Cup and preview our first match in Charlotte ever.

They thought they were gonna beat us!   We recap Hell is Real, talk more about Cuchomania and preview the NE match in this episode.

Cucho! - What a couple of games - we'll run em down and get you ready for Cincinnati on Sunday.   Youtube video referenced in this week's show - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw2rKeji-yg

It's a good one this week - recapping the Toronto and Philly games, and previewing Chicago.

***CONTENT WARNING*** We talk about the recent supreme court decisions as it relates to the Columbus Crew, Crew fans etc etc from 21:24 - 1:08:24.  If this is not something that you want to listen to maybe skip that section (or skip this week's show)   Remember we've set up a special complaint/corrections twitter account if you have concerns about this week's show (or any show in the past or future) just tweet those complaints or concerns @steak_umm   ---------------------------------------   This week we break down the Crew's performance in the away match at Salt Lake.  Friend of the program Evonne Segall joins us to talk about the recent supreme court decisions and the Crew's response and we preview the Toronto and Philly matches.

So we got a new #9 from the Premier League... I mean it's Watford, but what are ya gonna do? Plus we recap the snoozefest that was the Charlotte match, talk injuries and chat about the World Cup 2026 sites.

Been off for a few weeks.  Enjoy.

This week we recap the draw at New England, talk USOC, and a bunch more. ***This episode description written in a rush 2 days after recording because Matt has been super busy at work

We finally won a game!   ... and we decided to record a podcast during senior crawl... oops.

Well what can we say - the Open Cup didn't go our way, but what did we expect?   Topics discussed on this episode -    The US Open Cup. Ethan Forness from waitingfornextyear.com joins us in segment 2 to try to help Jim pick a baseball team. Matt gets real upset about national soccer writers crapping on smaller teams. We both discuss how long until Caleb Porter gets fired. Neither one of us mention the Zardes trade because this was recorded Thursday and Matt couldn't edit the show until Saturday morning due to being sick.   ***note - some audio quality issues happened at the beginning of Segment 3 causing a bit of it to be cut off.  You didn't miss much, trust us.***

Topics covered on this one -    Crew 2 and our first game back at HCS. Orlando game and why we enjoyed the Crew 2 match more than the senior team this week. Does the league have Caleb Porter figured out? (Not a repeat from 2016, 2017, 2019 or 2021) Around the league. US Open Cup preview.
