On this episode, the Mixtape 615 crew breaks down Nashville SC’s latest victory, a hard-fought, "ugly win" against Toronto FC. The boys discuss how Nashville extended its impressive home unbeaten streak, setting a new club record in the process. While the team is sitting near the top of the standings and in the hunt for the Supporters' Shield, the match wasn't without its nervy moments, including a penalty scare that was overturned by VAR.
A major debate centers around striker Sam Surridge, who the MLS discord has nicknamed the "penalty merchant". The hosts argue whether this is a fair criticism or just salt from rival fans, pointing out that being automatic from the spot is a massive asset. The conversation also turns to other key players in rotation, analyzing the critical passing of Patrick Yazbek , the discipline issues facing Perez , and the frustrating inconsistency of a promising forward who has looked "lost at times" on the pitch. Looking ahead, the crew discusses Nashville's real chances of winning silverware this season, fueled by momentum, incredible team depth, and the most lethal attacking duo in MLS: Hany Mukhtar and Sam Surridge

BJ Callaghan’s influence is front and center—his second-half tactical shifts turned the tide once again, and the guys debate whether we’re seeing a culture shift in real time. Johnny Perez continues to make his case for an extended stay, and the conversation turns to loan logistics, front-office decisions, and whether he’s earned a contract before July 31.

The team also breaks down the staggering stat line: 18 shots, 58% possession, no corners conceded. It’s not just a win—it’s a statement.

The crew breaks it all down and sits down with our friends at the Five Takes on Five Stripes podcast from Footie Mob to explore what makes Atlanta United’s supporter culture so electric.
