In this episode, the boys finally get around to wrapping up the season.  They start by reflecting on their incredible extrasensory perception in predicting the NSC performance this past season, and they celebrate an overall successful and FUN season to watch.  Did we mention this team was FUN?!?!  Anyway, they look back at the highs - like that incredible winning streak in the early summer or the US Open Cup victory - and the lows - like the late season meltdown and the recurring challenge to overcome Lionel Messi.  But screw all that, because there is hardware to hand out!  It's the first annual Electric Goldies, and the boys have plenty of awards to hand out to the Nashville SC roster.  Make sure to tune in next week when the boys will preview the offseason and 2026, which is sure to be full of hot chicken takes!  And they drink beer.

In this episode, the boys celebrate a hard-fought Nashville victory - FINALLY - over the evil empire of Miami. It's almost too unbelievable to process, but they are riding high talking about all the incredible play across the pitch from the boys in gold.  So they dole out some aw hell yeahs... and then they hand out some MORE aw hell yeahs... and then they hand out even MORE aw hell yeahs!  That's right, you're getting triple the aw hell yeahs in this episode for the same great price.  Every player gets their spotlight, but seriously - Josh Bauer was incredible!!  And then the boys share some spicy takes about whether NSC is done winning this season and what was the most important moment of the season.  And by the way, you can learn to be a real man by leading like Hany Mukhtar.  Finally, the boys make some bold predictions about the final match coming up between Nashville and Miami.  And they drink beer.

In this episode, the boys scratch their heads at the recent playoff game versus Miami.  They question the strategy and lineup rolled out by Coach BJ Callaghan, but they take solace in the fact that it ain't over yet, and Nashville SC still has one more shot to keep this magical season going.  And while they weren't so impressed with Sam Surridge or Jacob Shaffelburg, who has come down with a bad case of Randall Leal Disease.  Speaking of, inspired by a listener, the boys take some time to reminisce about simpler times with former players Leal, Dax McCarty, Lukas McNaughton and Anibal Godoy, and then they start to worry that maybe Joe Willis and Walker Zimmerman might soon be joining that group.  And let's stop exchanging jerseys at the end of games and get more intense and serious about all of this, shall we?  Speaking of intense, the boys tell a tale about the Knights of St. John and the Siege of Malta in 1565, because NSC is about to pull off their own stand against the evil empire.  And they drink beer.

The regular season is finally in the books, and the boys are here to put a bow on it by reviewing Nashville SC's final game versus Miami, whether they like it or not.  They have to begrudgingly give praise where praise is due, but they don't have to like it.  They DO like giving some praise to the team's aggressive first half play, and they've also got a shout out to give to captain Walker Zimmerman.  But, the boys have a bone to pick with the NSC administration and their interpretation of "fan appreciation".  After that, the boys take some time during this soccer podcast to talk about the greatness of basketball and botanical gardens.  But most of all, a big, gigantic THANK YOU to a delightful career from Taylor Washington.  And then the boys break down the basics of the MLS playoff structure, before gazing into their crystal balls to provide some bold predictions for Nashville's first playoff game this coming weekend in Miami.  And they drink beer.

In this episode, the boys catch up on the draw that happened up in Montreal but don't get too worked up about it.  They show some serious love for Sam Surridge, who may not be the league MVP, but he'll definitely be the MVP of our hearts.  The boys are happy to see Orlando lose, but they've got some concerns about Sam Surridge as the team looks toward the playoffs.  But more importantly, have you SEEN the Goofy Movie?  Because it might be one of the greatest films of all time.  And while we're on the subject, why does Disney hate biological parents?  After that detour, the boys look ahead to a daunting final regular season game with Miami, make some VERY bold predictions and start to catch the playoff fever.  And they drink beer.

It's a very special episode of Electric Gold! Congrats Nashville SC! The boys are celebrating the NSC victory in the US Open Cup Final! The boys in gold are wearing gold, and we're here for it.  There's plenty of praise and gratitude to be shared - for the players, the coaching staff, the team management, and - most importantly - the fans.  The boys also highlight the incredible performance by one Brian Schwake - the undeniable hero of the US Open Cup.  They also address the silly controversy stirred up by CBS announcers after the game; quit your whining.  And finally, the boys talk about how this victory could just be the start of something really exciting as this season wraps up.  And they drink beer.

In this episode, the boys celebrate a strong performance by Nashville SC versus Houston, and they look ahead to the upcoming US Open Cup final versus Austin FC.  They praise the team for their all-around play in the Houston game, and also highlight the special moments of Hispanic Heritage Night.  And let's not forget that Dolly Parton is the greatest human of our lifetime, the inner joys of woodworking, or the depth of stories that come from Middle Earth.  Then, they boys share a very hot take from one of our listeners before revealing the one big thing that Nashville can do to ensure a US Open Cup victory on Wednesday.  Then, they look ahead and make predictions about both the Open Cup final as well as the upcoming match versus Montreal.  And they drink beer.

In this episode, Ryan enjoys some ignorance as bliss since he missed Nashville SC's most recent heartbreak against Orlando.  Jon and Evan fill him in on the details, including a befuddling choice for the midfield lineup, a poorly timed injury for one of our defenders and the complete lack of depth at center back.  But there's plenty to celebrate, too, as the boys cheer on a terrific victory in the US Open Cup semifinal led by Super Sam Surridge.  The boys also share some love for perhaps the greatest show in television history, Mad Men, as well as celebrate the 40th anniversary of the incredible charity and musical event, Farm Aid.  And when it comes down to it, the boys are beginning to lose hope around this team's chances in the MLS playoffs, and they're also betting that it's past time to make a switch at goal.  But after all that, they still have some positive predictions about the upcoming game versus Houston.  And they drink beer.

In this episode, the boys return after a mini-hiatus to chat about the recent heartbreaker that Nashville SC experienced in Cincinnati.  The boys try to find the positive spin, like the emergence of Tyler Boyd, the excellent play of the NSC midfield, and the brilliance of golden boot leader Sam Surridge.  But there's just no getting around the math of the remaining schedule for NSC as well as their division rivals.  But enough about that, let's talk about Waffle House!  It truly is a southern treasure, and EVERYONE has a Waffle House story.  But anyway, the boys have some hot takes about what will happen the rest of this season, they rub their (crystal) balls to try and see the future, and ultimately, they need YOU to show up on Tuesday night for an epic match against Philadelphia.  And they drink beer.

In this episode, the boys celebrate an incredible return to form for NSC as they thumped Orlando and re-established themselves in the eastern conference race.  There's plenty to be excited about, from our golden boot leader Sam Surridge to another MVP-type performance from Hany Mukhtar and other key contributors like Jacob Shaffelburg and 24-Hour Josh Bauer.  And don't worry, the boys have plenty of favorite things to share, like the Muppets, the best podcast about the history of rock music, and the majesty of one Weird Al Yankovic.  But wait, there's more!  Can we interest you in some wild and crazy facts about Stanley Kubrick?  Or perhaps you should form your response in the form of a question.  In any case, there's a good case to be made that the team won't lose another home game this season, and maybe Jack Maher belongs on the bench.  The boys wrap up with some big predictions for the upcoming game versus Atlanta.  And they drink beer.

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 overshadow any bright spots recently.  After that analysis, the boys talk about some of their ultimate lineups - the ultimate FIFA video game team, the ultimate prog rock band, and the ultimate heist movie cast. Then the boys get spicy and proclaim that these next few games will ultimately define the Nashville SC season. And finally, the boys make some predictions about the upcoming clash with Orlando - let's hope that Jon's crystal ball is working better than Evan's! And they drink beer.

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, though.  He peaked early and often and he's still going strong at almost 80.  And while we all can agree that League's Cup sucks and maybe the team management never expected NSC to be this good this season (neither did we!), the boys take a look at the final stretch of the season to talk about what to expect and what they hope will happen.  Finally, they wrap up with some predictions for the upcoming game versus New York City FC in stupid ol' Yankee Stadium.  And they drink beer.

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 closing of Opryland and celebrate wonderful music events like River Stages and Dancin' in the District.  They've got some controversial opinions to share about the brilliance of Chris Gaines and the strains of Nashville growth.  They share some of their favorite music, movies and television from the 90's before wrapping up with some predictions about where the city is headed.  And they drink beer.

In this episode, the boys look back at the MLS All-Star Game and the recent clash between Nashville SC and San Diego with a little help from the Bard himself.  It may not have been totally worth it to stay up late on Friday night to catch the game, but there were some terrific concerts worth going to this weekend instead.  And while the boys show a lot of love for Joe Willis, they've got bones to pick with MLS ownership for their greed and general disinterest in the game of soccer.  But that's okay, because Nashville is still having a great season, and the boys express the joy of 2025 through poetry before offering up some incredibly spicy (and slightly uncomfortable) takes about Walker Zimmerman's starting role.  Finally, the boys look ahead to the friendly match against Aston Villa.  Ryan is torn between two of his favorite teams, but in the end, they're all rooting for the gold and blue.  And they drink beer.

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 goals, there are lots of favorite things to honor, like St. Jude's Hospital, the beauty of synth wave music, fond memories of Greer Stadium (Nashville OG's know what we mean), and believe or not, Microsoft Excel.  And is someone from the Nashville SC marketing team listening to our podcast, or are we just kindred spirits?  To wrap up, the boys gaze into their balls - crystal balls, that is - and predict some bold and exciting outcomes for the upcoming game versus San Diego.  And they drink beer.

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 amazing podcast, The Best Show with Tom Scharpling, before making some trade suggestions to nab an improvement in goalkeeper.  Finally, they rub on their crystal balls to see this week's future for NSC as they face both Columbus Crew and Toronto P.U.  And they drink beer.

In this episode, with absolutely no preparation or knowledge of the game against Philly, Jon attempts to talk intelligently about the team's performance.  Ryan and Evan assemble a myriad of trivia questions to see if Jon can guess the outcome of the game, and then once the result is revealed, they all celebrate an ASTOUNDING win by the boys in gold.  Much praise is heaped on the legend Hany Mukhtar as well as young Johnny Long Sleeves and the rock of NSC, Patrick Yazbek.  And of course, since it was Philly, there is much lamenting of the refs and all the missing fouls from the game.  The boys celebrate the winning penalty kick by highlighting the wonder of McKay's Used Books and Music, and they also discuss how amazing the fans were at the Philly game, and how it was the crowd that made the real difference.  Then, they dust off the crystal balls to make predictions for the upcoming Open Cup game versus DC and a serious challenge looming with Miami.  And they drink beer.

In this episode, the boys find that there's a lot to be happy about.  Whether it's gathering 6 points on the road, Sam Surridge grabbing the Golden Boot race by the horns, indispensable role players like Jack Maher and Patrick Yazbek, or the brilliance of Coach Callaghan putting youth on the field, there's a lot to be excited about.  And while there's time to spit on the atrocity known as Club World Cup and share melancholy feelings about missing Eddi Tagseth in the game against DC, the real worries come when the boys consider the possibility that Walker Zimmerman's time with the team might not be that much longer.  But enough about that, because the boys have to dig into the mailbag to field hot takes and questions from our listeners.  And then, they break out the crystal balls to foresee what promises to be an epic showdown with Philly this upcoming weekend.   And they drink beer.

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 conspiracy!  The boys put on their tin foil hats to get to the bottom of the Surridge all-star snub.  Then, they share some of their favorite music from the past, including possibly the greatest song ever written, the most fun music revival of the mid-90's, and perhaps the scariest concert that ever occurred at Vanderbilt Memorial Gym.  And they drink beer.

The boys get back into action with this Father's Day episode.  They get started by celebrating a great victory for Nashville SC on the road versus Chicago, observing the various ways the team has found wins this season. They continue to praise the many offseason moves that have led to the team's success this season, and they also have a rare shout-out to Joe Willis for his performance in the game.  They think fondly about growing up playing Nintendo, and they share the joys of exploring abandoned malls, including one soon-to-be-destroyed Rivergate Mall.  They get bullish on the rest of NSC's season, title potential and likely All-Stars.  And then, they polish off the crystal balls and make some bold predictions about the next game against New England.  And they drink beer.
