The crew breaks down the fallout, previews the Aston Villa friendly, and vents about losing the Southern Championship Belt to Charlotte—again.

This week on the Mixtape 615 podcast, the crew recaps a tough Nashville SC loss to San Diego FC and what it means for the squad’s momentum. With Hany Mukhtar's costly midfield giveaway leading directly to a goal, the guys get candid about accountability and how much the team missed their usual energy under the bright lights. Was it fatigue, poor planning, or just a night where the better team won? They talk through it all.

The pod shifts gears to preview the upcoming friendly against English Premier League side Aston Villa. While expectations are low for a result, the guys share what they hope to see—especially from Huntsville call-ups and squad rotation. Could this match be a glimpse into NSC’s future depth chart?

And yes—it’s time to talk belts. The Southern Championship Belt is back in Charlotte, and the pain is real.

The crew breaks down Nashville SC's gritty win over Toronto FC and debates if Sam Surridge is earning his goals or just a "penalty merchant." Then, they dive into the team's chances of lifting a trophy this year, fueled by the league's most lethal duo.

On this episode, the Mixtape 615 crew breaks down Nashville SC’s latest victory, a hard-fought, "ugly win" against Toronto FC. The boys discuss how Nashville extended its impressive home unbeaten streak, setting a new club record in the process. While the team is sitting near the top of the standings and in the hunt for the Supporters' Shield, the match wasn't without its nervy moments, including a penalty scare that was overturned by VAR.

A major debate centers around striker Sam Surridge, who the MLS discord has nicknamed the "penalty merchant". The hosts argue whether this is a fair criticism or just salt from rival fans, pointing out that being automatic from the spot is a massive asset. The conversation also turns to other key players in rotation, analyzing the critical passing of Patrick Yazbek , the discipline issues facing Perez , and the frustrating inconsistency of a promising forward who has looked "lost at times" on the pitch. Looking ahead, the crew discusses Nashville's real chances of winning silverware this season, fueled by momentum, incredible team depth, and the most lethal attacking duo in MLS: Hany Mukhtar and Sam Surridge

BJ Callaghan’s influence is front and center—his second-half tactical shifts turned the tide once again, and the guys debate whether we’re seeing a culture shift in real time. Johnny Perez continues to make his case for an extended stay, and the conversation turns to loan logistics, front-office decisions, and whether he’s earned a contract before July 31.

The energy wasn’t just on the pitch—the supporters section brought the heat, the mayor showed up, and the live reactions were electric. The team also breaks down the staggering stat line: 18 shots, 58% possession, no corners conceded. It’s not just a win—it’s a statement.
