On what might be the final episode of Forward's Backwards podcast, Dan and Keith are joined by Peter Wilt. They discuss their religious conversion to the Church of Jesse Marsch and Rilke's "Archaic Torso of Apollo." Then they debate the definite versus indefinite article of Flamingo Doctor, discuss local taverns and dystopian restaurants. Soccer is discussed at points.

On this episode of the Pod, Dan and Keith are joined by head coach and technical director Daryl Shore to discuss his coaching influences, the past and present of American coaching, and what he's listening to. Cowboy Neil at the Wheel Hlavaty drops by to talk Poshmark and coaching. OptaLee is on sabbatical or in Federal Prison.

This week, Keith and Dan talk hex nuts. Lots of hex nuts. Pretty much all hex nuts. Peter Wilt avoids lowering himself to the hex nut discussion and instead chats about chats with Paul Caliguiri, Bryan's Song and the early days of the Chicago Fire, including hiring Bob Bradley and Daryl Shore.

Keith and Dan are joined by the newly nicknamed Mr. Peabody of American soccer, Peter Wilt. They jump in the Wayback Machine to deliver some improbable 1990s soccer history including Mullets, Peter in Japan, and the Atletico Bilbao of America. Peter is 15% along in his basement duties-- let's hope this doesn't preclude him from joining us next week.

This week, Keith and Dan are joined by COO of Forward Madison Conor Caloia and Assistant Coach Neil Hlavaty to talk about how everyone is holding up under the pandemic. They also talk Poshmark, Keith not being a "white sweatshirt guy," and Neil's coolest newest music. Dan rambles on about Phish for a bit and we learn Conor is also a Phish-head.

Carry on...

This week's CoronaCast features Dan and Keith discussing Gilligan's Island, Bozo the Clown, and TV Moms with Peter Wilt. They also discuss the Milwaukee Wave and why indoor soccer was such a big deal in the 1980s-- hint Keith and Dan think it has to do with cocaine and the 1986 Mets. Producer Paisley also stops by to bark the episode to a close. OptaLee is currently working on his secret Espirito Santo/Fallonito research project and doesn't appear.

Dan and Keith are joined by Peter Wilt. They fix American soccer and leave time to discuss the White Sox, grave sites, and physical not audio pods. Dan does another segment of "I shoveled that one time." There are Corona tips from the one and only FlorMingo and Wasatch Mingos give a long-distance dedication to Captain Buddha. OptaLee is on solitary confinement quarantine.

Keith and Dan are joined by Connor Tobin (aka Captain Buddha) and Cowboy Neil at the wheel Hlavaty. What do they talk about? Who gives a shit, you're locked in your home, death is at the door, do you really want the last thing you listen to to be Forward Madison's stupidest podcast? Of course you do.

In the ultimate anti-podcast move, Dan and Keith preview a match that never happened with Maggie Dzuibek. But more importantly, they talk about Chicago Local 134 and the difference it aims to make in its community and its community building efforts.

Not sure what sort of #content we'll be putting out over the next few weeks/months, but rest assured when sports return so will we.

This week on the pod, we talk about an intra-squad scrimmage. If that doesn't grab your interest, maybe more talk about the 86 Mets and cocaine might. If that doesn't you should at least listen to special guest Kyle Carr tell the origin story of the United States most famous trophy and rivalry: the Henny Derby. Let's be honest, you should only really care about the Henny Derby talk, Dan and Keith should probably just quarantine themselves from podcast mics... nothing to do with the coronavirus
