We have a discussion with Andy Greder of the Pioneer Press to go through some big talkers of the 2025 season. We get you caught up on the Western Conference standings that sees our Loons falling a little behind. And we’ll celebrate the first professional goal of a former Loon even if it has been wiped away from the history books.

We look back at the draw against Colorado that stopped the bleeding for our Loons (Thank you Nectar).

Misery loves company so we’ve asked Loonlet John Rynders back into the studio to help us grieve the last-second Open Cup loss to Austin and the regular season game against the Chicago Fire that sent us further into the dumps. And we have a nice long vent sesh, hoping it will make a feel just a wee bit better.

We deep dive the trip to San Diego that has the Loons flying high. We look ahead to Austin’s Open Cup visit to Allianz that will send one team to the final. And we’re counting down the weeks until the 2026 World Cup, wondering if this might be a good time to have another kid.

We recap three games that included two firsts for our Loons. We dig into the summer transfer window that brought in five new players, even if we had to wait until deadline day to get them done. And we’ll say goodbye to at least one key Loon, who will break the record for most expensive outgoing transfer fee in team history.
