Electric Gold: A Nashville SC Supporter Podcast

The boys couldn't wait to jump on the mics to record this emergency podcast with absolutely no preparation or planning right after the big showdown between Nashville SC and Inter Miami.  What looked like a defeat for Nashville through much of the second half flipped on its head in the final moments when Super Sam Surridge saved the day.  And the boys are here for it.  But they aren't happy about the favoritism that Miami enjoys or the kid gloves that Lionel Messi is officiated with.  And they REALLY aren't happy with Luis Suarez, who might be the biggest crybaby in soccer.  But they're really happy with Super Sam and Brian Schwake and the whole Nashville team for never giving up in this one.  The bench players in particular shined bright in this one, and their fresh legs made the difference.  We've already forgotten about Toronto!  The boys are going to keep saying it until you listen - this team and this season are magic and you better be watching, because we are coming for some hardware.  And up next is Chicago, who are visiting Geodis Park next weekend, so the boys make some very bold predictions. And they drink beer.

In this episode, the boys catch up on the last couple of weeks of Nashville SC action.  They remain overjoyed at the wipeout of FC Cincinnati, and after a draw against NYCFC, they are mostly just hopeful the team never has to play at Yankee Stadium ever again.  There's plenty to be excited about, though, as the team continues their record-setting pace.  The boys can't get over what an incredible defense this team features, and the leader of that backline is especially incredible.  The young keeper Brian Schwake just set a club record for clean sheets, and should he be considered in the MLS MVP conversation?  With the Four Horsemen up front and the Cerberus in the back, this team is destined for mythical, legendary status. But also, Super Sam is great and all, but he needs to shoot his shot when he gets the chance.  The boys jam out to Stone Deep like it's 1992, but they're also keeping a close eye on Toronto, Chicago and of course, the pink warriors of Inter Miami.  In fact, it's a busy week coming up with a lot of frequent flyer miles for the boys in gold, but we aren't worried and expect Coach Callaghan to have the team ready.  The boys made some predictions about those games and keep their spirits high.  And they drink beer.

In this episode, the boys celebrate the comeback of all comebacks! Two, in fact! It was a wild week for Nashville SC, and the boys sort through all the magic that this team is experiencing. The backline are the heroes this week, with game winners from Max Woledzi and Andy Najar, and major contributions from Jeisson Palacios and Reed Baker-Whiting. Plus, we think we've figured out what this team is doing strategically that is so special. The boys also name off some of the greatest comebacks in human history - shout out to Admiral Yi Sun-sin. And the reality of being in the conversation for the greatest MLS team of all time is setting in. But before they get too ahead of themselves, there are still other MLS teams to consider, like the Houston Dynamo, if you can believe that. And the boys look ahead to a major showdown with the most despicable team of all, FC Cincinnati. And they drink beer.

In this episode, it's all love and joy as the boys celebrate an incredible beatdown of Inter Miami at the hands of Hany Mukhtar and company.  There's so many positives to discuss, the boys can't even squeeze them all in, but they are certainly excited by what they've seen from newcomer Elias Saad, who might just be the final piece of the puzzle that Nashville needed for a championship run.  Captain Hany Mukhtar is being the leader that we'd always hoped, and youngsters Matthew Corcoran and Reed Baker-Whiting are seizing the moment as well.  Everyone is feeling confident as they look ahead to the rest of the season, and the boys even suggest that the MLS can go ahead and engrave the Supporter's Shield right now.  They've also got some suggestions for Messi's next career once he is done with soccer (which might be very soon).  And when they're not jamming out to the Black Keys, the boys are paying close attention to the Columbus Crew and Vancouver Whitecaps; one is an upcoming opponent, and the other might just be who Nashville meets in the playoffs.  But for now, the boys make some optimistic predictions for the upcoming games this week as they keep on cheering on the team and bleeding blue and gold.  And they drink beer.

In this episode, the boys aren't amused by the recent string of play by Nashville SC.  Whether it's the injury bug, a lack of effort or focus or just a World Cup hangover, the boys insist that this team needs to get their heads right and start playing like the Nashville we know and love.  And while Hany Mukhtar is trying to do his part as captain, there's concern over his injury in the DC United game now, and Ahmed Qasem is not going to save the day.  But we'll tell you who does continue to save the day - Brian Schwake, who is making a case for that ever-so-rare goalkeeper MVP.  The boys soothe their pain listening to Circles by Nashville local rocker Pujol, which might turn out to be a great campaign song for Jon, who is officially throwing his hat into the ring for FIFA President.  He couldn't do any worse than the current leadership! The boys do everything they can to get excited about the Leagues Cup (and they fail), but they still predict a pretty successful tournament for Warren Madrigal.  And they drink beer.

In this episode, the boys celebrate the return to the pitch for Nashville SC, who faced off against Atlanta United in a sloppy mess of a game after nearly two months off, but the boys in gold still found a way to collect the three points thanks to the heroic efforts of youngster Shak Mohammed. And the boys also have some praise for the Chaos Commander, Alex Muyl, and the Greatest American Goalkeeper, Brian Schwake.  But even with victory secure, what was with all the injuries?  And now that we’re wrapping up the World Cup, is it time to finally figure out what the heck is England’s problem?  Jon and Ryan’s lifetime friendship might be falling apart over Taco Bell, but hopefully having the boys in gold back will help mend fences. The team has a busy week ahead, so the boys break down the upcoming opponents of Montreal and Orlando before making some bold (and perhaps outlandish) predictions for those games as well as the World Cup finale.  And they drink beer.

In this very special musical episode of Electric Gold, the boys put all their takes and opinions to music.  First, they unconvincingly suggest that they didn't even care about the World Cup anyway, especially in light of the US team's terrible flame-out.  And as they try to forget all about that debacle and pretend they aren't watching the rest of the tournament (which they totally are), they start getting excited about the upcoming resumption of the MLS season, particularly a return to form for Nashville SC.  With the suffering that the team has gone through over the past several years, one could even liken the journey to the types of struggles and soul-searching one might find in an epic 19th-century Russian novel.  They boys are definitely looking forward to getting back to Geodis Park, but if we're going to do another cup for national pride, should we send state-level teams instead of national teams?  Tennessee could totally kick Mississippi's ass, by the way.  Regardless, as long as Jenny Taft is announcing, the boys will be tuning in.  But all that's for another day, because right now, it's time for the boys and NSC to focus on Atlanta United, Nashville's first foe coming out of the break.  Evan serves up a tremendous prediction for what that game has in store, as well as how he thinks the rest of the World Cup will play out. Bring your dancing shoes for this one! And they drink beer (with music). #worldcup #usa #usmnt #nashvillesc #coybig #electricgoldnsc #nsc #mls #podcastmusical

In this episode, the boys feel the US Men's National Team gaining momentum after a commanding victory over Bosnia & Herzogovina in the Round of 32 knockout round in the World Cup. And the entire World Cup has been so entertaining and full of drama, especially the last week. Cape Verde?! Paraguay?! Egypt?!! Morocco!! It's been a whirlwind of excitement, and the boys have loved every second of it. They've especially loved the performance of the American players, specifically Malik Tillman and Flo Balogun. And yet, Balogun was wronged with a terrible red card call in this last game, but at least we all love VAR, right? On this 250th birthday of America, this journey for the US team reminds the boys of the country's efforts to establish its identity through the Revolution, and also some of the players remind them of some of the greatest American bands we've ever heard. The hot takes are also here, and no surprise, the boys have some bold claims about how far this team can go. But first, they'll have to overcome some tough opponents like Spain and England. But first comes a game against Belgium, and you better believe we're bringing all the guns like it's Yorktown all over again. The boys make their predictions and gear up for the big battle. And they drink beer. #worldcup #worldcup2026 #usmnt #usa #electricgoldnsc #mls #nashvillesc #soccer #everyonen

In this very special Father's Day episode, the boys are bursting with American pride and lots of praise for the US team after another convincing win in the World Cup.  The recent victory over Australia only stoked the flames of excitement for the potential that this USA team could reach in the tournament, and they're already going where no American team has gone before.  It's hard to pick a more exciting moment - Flo Balogun's pressure that resulted in an own goal, or Alex Freeman out-leaping everyone for a header to take total control of the game.  But one thing is for sure, the Socceroos were pretty nasty there at the end. And tell us again why it is necessary for the US to play this meaningless game versus a disappointing Turkiye?  The boys take a moment to look back at this day in World Cup history in both 2002 and 1994, both of which offer some incredible historical moments for international soccer.  And in honor of Father's Day, the boys break out their Mount Rushmore for fictional father figures, and maybe share some life lessons of their own along the way.  Turning back to soccer, we have a recommendation - MORE teams in the World Cup please! And while we are keeping our eyes on you, Canada, our immediate attention is now on Bosnia & Herzogovina or Qatar, one of which will likely be the US opponent in the Round of 32.  Finally, the boys break out the crystal balls for some meaningless predictions for a meaningless upcoming game.  And they drink beer. 

In this episode, the boys celebrate a historic and convincing victory by Team USA over Paraguay in their opening World Cup match, including much praise for potential golden boot candidate Flo Balogun. And how about Captain America making Jon eat his words? The team looks poised to make an impressive run in the tournament, and the boys think that the USA is already a big-time soccer nation. Thank goodness we didn't have the same referee that Mexico did in their match. The boys share some great moment in World Cup history, including one incredible day in 1970, and they also take a peek at other formidable opponents in the Cup, like Mexico and upcoming opponents Australia and Turkiye. They've got some bold predictions for the upcoming match versus Australia, and it's a great excuse for day drinking and Tailgate pizza. And they drink beer. #worldcup #teamusa #usmnt #electricgoldnsc #mls #nashvillesc #balogun #pulisic #worldcup2026
