United Sessions

 David and Lukas are joined by New Mexico United midfielder Daniel Brue, and British Football Analyst/United Defender Sir Nigel Higginbotham/Kalen Ryden. The four discuss United's preseason, the upcoming opening match at RGV, the blossoming United Academy, and crocs...lots of croc talk. David and Lukas try to cheat Brucey out of his rightful win in football trivia, but as is the case more often than not, they fail.

David and Lukas are joined by NM United Contracts Administrator, Savannah Hoover. The three interview sports agent, marketing connector and trailblazer Maggie Ntim, and discuss Maggie's journey, the importance of diversity in all realms of sport, and what it means to holistically care about athletes. David and Maggie square off in a battle to prove who knows the most about weird laws. Spoiler alert - Dave loses. 

David and Lukas are joined by newly minted United Session Producer, Dylan Cuellar, and New Mexico United midfielder, Harry Swartz. The four discuss Harry's northeastern upbringing, and how he's acclimating to New Mexico. Dylan puts his hilarious awkwardness on full display, and Swartz somehow wins the Ridiculous Game of the Week without knowing anything about Harry Potter. 

New Mexico United Creative Director Josh Lane, diehard United fan/matchday ops guy Alex Mansfield, Lukas & Josh dive into Meow Wolf's Area 15, give their hot takes ahead of the New Mexico United season, and Josh - who has inexplicably not seen Ted Lasso - tries to identify a few quotes from the lovable AFC Richmond gaffer.

David, Lukas, and NM United Head Coach Troy Lesesne chat with US Men's National Team Legend and current Sporting Director at Austin FC, Claudio Reyna. The gang talks about soccer in the '80s and '90s, beautiful moments in national team history, and lessons learned from starting new soccer clubs. 

David and Lukas welcome Mike Mares, the lead singer of The Noms, devoted father of Jude, and champion of all things New Mexico. New Mexico United forward Devon Sandoval jumps into the third host seat, as the crew discusses fatherhood, Disney songs, and pirate ships.

David, Lukas, and  Chanel Wiese (Executive Director of the Somos Unidos Foundation) are joined this week by Madison Hammon, the first indigenous woman to sign a professional soccer contract. Madison, who plays for the NWSL's OL Reign, shares her story, her thoughts on the importance of access to the game, and some important lessons she learned from her mom.

David and Lukas welcome two incredibly special guests to celebrate International Women's Day: their moms! Gail and Dianna share highlights from their journeys, encouraging words for generations of women, and more than their fair share of embarrassing David and Lukas stories. Plus "Topsy Turvy True or False."

David and Lukas host United Sessions' first-ever Pete-a-Palooza! American Soccer legend Peter Wilt and legendary United owner Peter Trevisani talk community, footy, and famous Petes!

Welcome to our inaugural episode! We're thrilled to bring you conversations with the legendary Kyle Martino and Troy Lesesne. 

Join David, Lukas, Kyle and Troy as we talk the state of US Soccer and accessibility of the game, 80's hair bands, and a New Year's Eve party that got a little out of hand.
