Sep 17, 2021•1 hr•Ep 336•Transcript available on Metacast We don't get a ton of chances to do interviews on this show these days but we randomly ended up with one last week when we got the chance to talk to Jordan Morris. He was promoting a camp he does through a sponsorship with Dexcom, the company that makes his blood-sugar monitor. Morris talked about the joy he gets from doing soccer camps like that, his injury recovery and how long he thinks it will be until he's playing again. This week's music: Perry Como - "Seattle", "RVIVR - "O...
Sep 03, 2021•1 hr 23 min•Ep 335•Transcript available on Metacast A lot has happened since we last spoke, most recently a 3-0 win over Tigres in Leagues Cup and the news that Gonzalo Pineda was leaving the Sounders for Atlanta United. We talk about all that and more.

Aug 12, 2021•1 hr 5 min•Ep 334•Transcript available on Metacast Somewhat remarkably, the Sounders still find themselves coming out of the Gold Cup break undefeated through 13 games. They’re sitting atop the Supporters’ Shield standings with 29 points and have easily the best goal-difference at +15. More remarkable than all of that is they’ve managed this while missing as many as six potential starters for solid chunks of the season. Their latest win over the Houston Dynamo came without Nicolas Lodeiro, Stefan Frei, Nouhou, Shane O’Neill, Cristian Roldan and ...
Jul 16, 2021•1 hr 23 min•Ep 333•Transcript available on Metacast We return to you almost a month after our last recording in much the same place we left you. The Sounders are still riding a best-ever start to the season, still undefeated and still leading the Supporters’ Shield race. They’ve also not yet conceded a goal from open play, a streak that now stands at 900 minutes which is the longest MLS has on record. The latest win was in some ways their most comprehensive. Although the scoreline was a relatively close 2-1, the Sounders finally put together two ...
Jun 25, 2021•58 min•Ep 332•Transcript available on Metacast The Sounders are now officially off to their best start in franchise history, going undefeated and claiming 17 points through their first 7 games while posting a +11 goal-difference. They’re leading hte Supporters’ Shield by three points and have a four-point advantage in the Western Conference. The Sounders have, of course, done this without Jordan Morris, while only getting 24 minutes in total from Nicolas Lodeiro and their two most recent results have come without Stefan Frei. They now ...
May 26, 2021•1 hr 5 min•Ep 331•Transcript available on Metacast It has been about 15 months since we last recorded an episode of Bear With Us. Don't worry, we're now all fully vaccinated and feeling good. Will catches us up on what he's been up to all this time, what he thinks of the Sounders' new formation and how he feels his teammates have come together during this trying time. Of course, we also found some time to offer some advice. Musics: "Bumped into Bigfoot" - Bedford; "Cutthroat" - prod. by Syndrome
May 17, 2021•47 min•Transcript available on Metacast The Sounders have tied a franchise record for best start through four matches. Discussing exactly how they've managed that takes up the first segment of the show, but after that Jeremiah and Aaron have a long discussion about potentially redesigning the crest and the possibility of a North American Super League.

May 12, 2021•2 hr 33 min•Ep 330•Transcript available on Metacast The Sounders return for their 13th season, ready to take on the team they scored an epic comeback against the last time they played at home. Unlike that game, though, this one will have fans in attendance.

Apr 16, 2021•55 min•Transcript available on Metacast Two weeks of YachtCon: Back to School is now officially in the books. To help us close things out, Sounders GM Garth Lagerwey hung out, shared some insight into his philosophy, teased the hiring of a new sporting director, drank a couple beers and ate a bunch of spicy hot wings. A good time was had by all.

Mar 19, 2021•1 hr 21 min•Transcript available on Metacast Brian Schmetzer helped us get YachtCon: Back To School started right, putting on his professorial hat to dig into his coaching philosophy and sharing some insight into his tactical approach to 2021.
Mar 18, 2021•1 hr 3 min•Transcript available on Metacast It wasn't necessarily intended as a Martin Luther King Day episode, but the time of Jeremiah's conversation with Sounders Academy goalkeepers coach Joshua Ford and Head Strength and conditioning coach Sean Muldoon worked out pretty perfectly. Ford and Muldoon have been two of the bigger behind-the-scenes forces in terms of helping raise awareness of various social justice causes among the Sounders. Perhaps most notably is their efforts to bring attention to Manny Ellis' murder , a case that has ...
Jan 18, 2021•46 min•Ep 121•Transcript available on Metacast Jeremiah and Aaron get together for one final episode of 2020, providing some closing thoughts on MLS Cup and looking ahead to the offseason while sharing some thoughts on good albums to get us through the (hopefully) tail end of this pandemic.

Dec 10, 2020•1 hr 16 min•Ep 327•Transcript available on Metacast The Sounders are back in the Western Conference finals. It’s the fourth time in five years and the fifth time in seven years that they’ve been here. That’s something that hasn’t been accomplished since the halcyon days of D.C. United going to each of the first four MLS Cup finals. The Sounders will now host Minnesota United on Monday with a chance to go to their fourth MLS Cup final in five years for a chance to win their third MLS Cup. Jeremiah and Aaron discuss the 1-0 win over FC Dallas while...
Dec 05, 2020•40 min•Ep 326•Transcript available on Metacast Well, we made it. A regular-season like none before and hopefully one we’ll never repeat is in the books. All things considered, I think this has to be considered pretty successful. The Sounders finished with their best-ever goal-difference, their best points per game since 2014 and put three players on Best XI. They’ll go into the playoffs among the favorites to go to a fourth MLS Cup final in five years. Yet it’s also been a very strange year that hasn’t felt as fulfilling as all this would su...
Nov 21, 2020•52 min•Ep 325•Transcript available on Metacast The Sounders are finally wrapping up this wild season, heading into the final game of the regular season sitting third in the Western Conference with a decent shot at still grabbing the No. 1 spot if they win and results fall their way. But it’s been a bumpy ride getting here, at least recently. They’re now 1-2-3 in their last six, which includes a brutal stretch of five games in 18 days. The most recent of those was a 1-1 tie with the LA Galaxy. The Sounders finally rotated their lineup in that...

Oct 15, 2020•1 hr 13 min•Ep 323•Transcript available on Metacast We usually meet with Sounders majority owner Adrian Hanauer a couple times a year. The last time we talked, the global coronavirus pandemic was just setting in. Now several months later there are still many questions around how this will all affect the Sounders. One effect we do know about is the decision to close the 300s to season-ticket holders. We talked about man of those things in this episode. This week's music: Perry Como - "Seattle", "RVIVR - "Ocean Song", Woody Guthrie -...
Oct 07, 2020•1 hr 3 min•Ep 322•Transcript available on Metacast There is nothing normal about this season, from the schedule to the congestion to ... the world. So, maybe in that very specific way the fact that the Seattle Sounders suddenly can’t beat the Portland Timbers at home makes ... sense? OK, that’s probably a stretch but neither Jeremiah nor Aaron seem too worried about a deflating loss, assuming it doesn’t snowball into a string of bad results. This week's music: Perry Como - "Seattle", "RVIVR - "Ocean Song", Woody Guthrie - "Roll On...
Sep 10, 2020•1 hr 4 min•Ep 321•Transcript available on Metacast It's been nearly a month since the Seattle Sounders last played, but they return on Sunday against the Portland Timbers. It's definitely a weird one, though, as there will be no fans, likely artificial crowd noise and uncertain stakes. What we know is that this is probably about as close to "normal" as we're going to get for the foreseeable future. Aaron and Jeremiah discuss all of that, sing the Sounders' praises for the announcement of 2021 season-ticket renewals and answer many of...
