In what you could call our 'Holiday Special', we go nuts on Star Wars and talk about the upcoming holidays. We also are joined by Tobi (@FTofD on twitter) and get a little rowdy. Much beer is consumed and Adam breaks a chair. 'Tis the season!

Who would have thought there would be lots to talk about in mid December?

We start with talking about Moses and Laing signing deals in the league and what it can mean for Carolina and Minnesota, respectively. We then move on to talk about Ottawa finally announcing some roster news, Tampa confirming the Heinemann signing and Miami being a serious contending team in 2016.

We then discuss Miami's kit unveiling, and use it as an excuse to talk about kits around the league this past season.

Oh, and if you couldn't tell, we're pretty excited for Star Wars.

This week we bring you another busy episode. We talk about who is and isn't signing with the Eddies, as well as the regular NASL news and gossip. During this, Adam frequently forgets how to talk.

In the second half of the podcast, we invite Michael from the ESG on to discuss the local supporters group and the new unified direction they want to take. We talk about the search for directors and how it will help grow the group and support for the team as a whole.

This week we focus more on local news. After a bit of a discussion on the lack of news on a Canadian league, we talk about where we can go in this country to help develop soccer.

We then focus on FCE's signings this week. We're happy to see Eddie Edward back in the mix, and speculate on what newcomer Jake Keegan can provide. We then focus on what holes are remaining on the roster.

The finish this podcast off, we spend a long time discussing the current state of the ESG and share their news to incorporate and desire to provide a more unified voice for supporter in Edmonton. Naturally we discuss where LCRV fits into the mix.

Maybe it's a sign that we've been following r/NASLsoccer far too much, but we address almost all of the rumours from this past week and give our input into how credible some are and what we think of them. So PLEASE don't take any of this as legitimate news, we're just parroting this from the NASL reddit page. There is a dusting of official news in what we are talking about though.

And for good measure, we cover Watson being resigned, Corea in the World Cup Qualifiers and who we think would be a good fit on FC Edmonton that could be considered a Canadian International.

In a podcast where we struggle to keep everything on topic, we talk in depth about the Soccer Bowl and how it was probably the most entertaining version of the modern era. Congrats to the Cosmos on their second modern Soccer Bowl, and major respect for the the travelling Fury supporters for making a strong presence at the game as well.

We then focus on Canada's big win against Honduras in the World Cup qualifiers and how it sets them up for a very intriguing run to hopefully get one of the Hex spots.

And then as usual we get into more FCE speculation, including the premature repot that Hanson Boakai was about to sign with TFC.

Hey look! We kept this podcast to a reasonable length!

We start by recapping the NASL Championship semifinals. It was a fun weekend and a terrific advertisement for the league, especially the Ottawa/Minnesota match.

We then moved on to talking about the impending news about Rayo OKC expansion, and look at the steep hill they have to climb in competing with OKC Energy in that market.

Next we moved on to giving out our long awaiting FC Edmonton awards. We even manage to give out almost as many awards as an elementary school track meet.

And of course, we finish off with a preview of this weekends Soccer Bowl between Ottawa and New York.

In this extra special long podcast (we didn't mean it, we swear!), we recap the final week of the NASL season and look at the final standings for the Championship.

We also get into who FCE released, who they retained and who's currently out of contract. TONS of roster speculation in this podcast, and a look at GM Rod Proudfoot's time here. We look into where he succeeded, where he failed and what we want with our next GM.

This week we talk about the league results, attendance, expansion and FCE's final game of 2016.

This extra special bonus episode has friend of the show John Smits (@RealJohnSmits) return for another amazing candid conversation!

We managed to get John to return to the garage studio and talk about his changed role with the team this season and how it has affected him. We also get him to answer some questions we got from twitter and Facebook along with a bunch of other questions we forgot to ask him last time.

We want to thank John for joining us on the podcast being a terrific guest for us.
