Seattle Sounders' Brain Breaking Match - Ep. 85
Lobbing Scorchers
02/25/25 • 86 min
After an ideal start to Concacaf Champions Cup, the Seattle Sounders couldn’t quite turn a couple Jordan Morris goals into a win in their season-opening 2-2 draw vs. Charlotte FC. Should you be more encouraged by another solid attacking effort, or more tilted about that highly unfortunate own goal? We debate that as part of our game review, hit our Agenda Check, and check the pulse of the streets.
Later on, we dig into a fun Matchday 1 slate in MLS that gave us a couple of surprise results, as well as a highly comedic showing from the Portland Timbers that delivered us our first Blazing Hot Coach Press Conference of the Week of 2025 (sponsored by Haxan Ferments).

Have The Sounders Backed Themselves Into a Corner? - Ep. 80
Lobbing Scorchers
01/07/25 • 43 min
We are back with another offseason episode as the 2025 season draws nearer. Have the Seattle Sounders painted themselves into a corner with their recent roster decisions? We discuss that topic, along with some thoughts on the future of Obed Vargas and a silly season rumor linking the Seattle Sounders to Marcus Rashford.

God Hates The Portland Timbers - Ep. 71
Lobbing Scorchers
10/27/24 • 92 min
It’s not every day your arch-rival has one of the most catastrophic meltdowns in MLS history, but the Portland Timbies did exactly that in the Wild Card round of the MLS Cup Playoffs. We break down the fine points of their 5-0 defeat to the Vancouver Whitecaps, Evander’s postgame tweets and Phil Neville and Ned Grabavoy’s blazing hot press conference.
After that we go through our playoff brackets and make our picks on who we think will make it to MLS Cup.

Highest of Highs, Lowest of Lows - Ep. 87
Lobbing Scorchers
03/13/25 • 88 min
We have a seldom-seen combined Dub and L Pod as we drop our belated game review of Seattle’s 5-2 Matchday 3 demolition of LAFC, then dive into the Rave Green’s unceremonious exit in the Concacaf Champions Cup Round of 16 at Cruz Azul. Can we still take encouragement from that dominant performance over the Black & Gold, or does the injury-riddled CCC disaster have us crashing out?
We also hit our Agenda Checks from both games, talk Winners and Losers from around MLS in Matchday 3, and have our Blazing Hot Coach Press Conference of the Week sponsored by Haxan Ferments.

Thank You, FC Dallas - Ep. 84
Lobbing Scorchers
02/20/25 • 72 min
Concacaf Champions Cup is off and running and the Seattle Sounders are off to a roaring start after Wednesday’s 3-1 Leg 1 triumph in Guatemala. Can anyone stop the FC Dallas boys? Did we just witness Pedro de la Vega’s breakout? We discuss that and more in our very first Dub Pod of 2025. Later on, we hit an Agenda Check that might ruffle some feathers among the anti-Craig Waibel community and hit a couple of other Sounders-related headlines, including rumors linking Obed Vargas to the Eredivisie.
