They praise the play of the Nashville substitutes, Ahmed Qasem and Patrick Yazbek, and they also explain how the problem in the movie Sideways wasn't the merlot, it was Miles's perpetual selfishness.  They offer sharp criticism for the team's designated players and compare playing the Red Bulls to playing a version of satanic soccer.  In case the season gets really bad, they offer some entertaining alternatives to watching NSC games, and they wrap up by previewing the upcoming match against the sweetest opponents in the MLS, the  Portland Timbers.  And they drink beer.

In this episode, the boys wrap up the inaugural season of Electric Gold by reflecting back on the highs and many, many lows of Nashville SC's 2024 campaign.  First, they chat about how much the Nashville SC 2024 season reminded them of the Byzantine reconquest of Italy in the Gothic War of 535 to 554, obviously.  They celebrate Anibal Godoy's acrobatics and the team's continued success over putrid Cincinnati.  And they also lament the struggles of our defense and our front office.  They play a lightning round of questions examining what to do with Randall Leal, whether Joe Willis should shave his mustache (he shouldn't), and if our front office bungled the coaching changes this year.  Then, they settle in with some quick predictions on the offseason and 2025 before giving some big thank you's to all of you listeners.  And they drink beer.
