Butchertown Rundown: A Racing Louisville Podcast

Kaitlyn may still be in New Zealand, but Bekki and Tom are home and ready to discuss Racing's first entry into the Challenge Cup playoffs and all the World Cup goings on. Can Racing go the distance and win some hardware this season? (Note that this episode was recorded Sunday so it is in places slightly out of date in terms of World Cup scores and outcomes).

This week it's just Tom and Bekki holding down the fort as Kaitlyn flies away to New Zealand for the World Cup. The most recent Kansas City game is discussed, as are potential off-season roster moves, and the state of the team at midseason. Tom also commits to making Butchertown Rundown the most accurate and factual podcast in existence and also provides a legendary Mint Mix submission in honor of Jaelin Howell.

The dog days are over for Racing as Kaitlyn, Bekki, and Tom discuss Big Purp's three big consecutive wins. Everything from Racing's KC masterpiece to Sav DeMelo potentially getting called up to the World Cup is on the table, plus Tom coins the phrase "put our neck on their throats" and makes peace with Emily Fox's incoming appearance at Lynn Family Stadium in a Courage kit.

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.
