Butchertown Rundown: A Racing Louisville Podcast

In the second half of our Extra Cut, Tom, Bekki & Kaitlyn talk - or rather shout - about Racing's draw with OL Reign. We laugh. We cry. Tom does an Elvis impression. So it's pretty much par for the course. But we do have one of the best Mint Mix episodes to date, so check it out.

In part one of this week's special Extra Cut episode, we talk to Racing's new general manager Ryan Dell. He's been in Louisville for about a month and Dell joins the pod to talk about his experience so far, his player management philosophies, and how Racing is going to be a premiere destination in the women's soccer world. We also subject him to the world's slowest lightning round known to man.

Equalizer writer and photographer Taylor Vincent joins Kaitlyn, Tom, and Bekki to discuss Racing's less-than-stellar matches in L.A. and Portland. As a former first-division NCAA softball player and coach, Taylor also shares her insight into the mental side of playing elite sports and what it takes to create a winning culture where it doesn't yet exist.

This week Bekki and Kaitlyn recap Racing’s draw with the Washington Spirit, preview the team’s upcoming matches against Angel City and Portland, and discuss Jaelin Howell’s new role as captain. We also add more songs to the Mint Mix and talk about all things banner-related.

In this special episode, Kaitlyn and Bekki talk to Racing midfielder Lauren Milliet about the team's start to the 2023 season - including that very creative save against Houston - and Lauren answers all the great questions our listeners submitted. Thank you to everyone who sent in questions! We asked as many as we could in the time we had. Also, we talk about photos in this episode - you can find them here: https://twitter.com/Bourbonier/status/1641452414950862850?s=20

We're back and, trust us, we are just as surprised as you are. After the shocking heartbreak and disgust that came with the release of the investigative reports, Tom and Bekki did a lot of soul-searching and ultimately decided to come back. For a fuller explanation of our thoughts about everything that's happened, listen to the first 20 minutes or so of this episode where we break it all down.

But it's not all doom and gloom! Because we're coming out of our cage and we'll be doing just fine because we have Kaitlyn Whiteside joining as a new co-host! The three of us discuss our biggest joys and biggest disappointments in the off-season and we talk about the team practice Kaitlyn and Tom got to attend as part of the Lavender Legion.

Two episodes in a row where we discuss an awesome win! What a treat! Tom & Bekki discuss everything about Racing's big trip out west that included a loss in Portland but also what is possibly Racing's greatest win in franchise history in Los Angeles. Also, this episode's title was almost Fugue State Drinking Game, so take that as you will.

We may be crying, but this time they're tears of joy! Racing earned two massive wins in just one weekend! First, they shut out the Orlando Pride for their first win in 13 games and, second, they locked down rookie sensation Savannah DeMelo until 2025. And we're so happy about it that Bekki breaks into song (badly) and Tom does an impression of a 14-year-old Australian mermaid (badly).  Consider yourself forewarned.
