Goals from Andrew Gutman and Jack Elliott came off of corner kicks, and set-piece coach Ryan Needs seems to finally be making an impact on the squad. The Men in Red still need to shore up some gaps in the backline, but the attack looks as threatenting as it's ever been. Nick continues his player profiles in this episode, focusing on the outside backs: Gutman, Jonathan Dean, Leonardo Barroso, and Viktor Radojevic. Tune in and learn about how they came to the Fire and how Nick projects them this season. We also review the various theme nights and new kit launch for the 2026 season.

Tragedies often reveal what we're really made of. When times are unthinkably tough, heroes rise up, offering sacrificial acts of courage, endurance, and love toward others. These acts of faith are reflections of God's light, the brightness that shines when life is dim. Some of those heroic acts make headlines, while others are performed quietly. At Horizon, we'll explore six tragedies -- the Titanic, Chernobyl, Mount St. Helens, Concentration Camps, the Crippled Flight 1380, and the Chicago Fire -- and see how real people shone brightly amidst the darkness, pointing us to God's presence in suffering.

Hey, soccer fans! New month, new opportunities, new shows! The Chicago Fire had their media day last week, and Gregg Berhalter and his players gave us a lot of great quotes to analyze. Nick focused on themes of expectations and new player integration - perenneial playoff appearances is now the floor for the club, and there are players that appear to be eyeing a trophy this season. Tune in to hear the quotes and Nick's reactions. Nick also provides an update on Major League SOccer's newest partner, Polymarket, a predication market company, and technically not sports gambling. Despite being legal in all fifty states and MLS wanting to ensure integrity in the market, this seems like another gambling sponsor.

For the Glory KC is back with the 164th episode of the show!Trigger warning, we get mildly political in the opening three minutes. Skip ahead or stop listening if it's too much for you. Time stamps, as always, towards the bottom of these show notes.Sporting Kansas City had almost nothing officially happen this week. That said, unofficially, there was still a lot going on. First, the rumor from Marca.com is that Robert Lewendowski, one of the greatest strikers in the world, may have interest from Sporting KC. Sure, the story says that the Chicago Fire are in the lead (and the article uses a Fire II graphic in error), but it is still something at least worth talking about. Along with the Fire and SKC, LAFC are mentioned as a possible destination.With new owner Peter Mallouk, all things are possible. That said, this one seems unlikely.Sheena and I break down that rumor, the ongoing Cesar Inga rumors (which appears to finally be dead), the preseason loss to the Fire, and the actual news of a new coaching staff for Sporting KC. But we have to discuss the rumored Footy Headlines kit leak from Sporting KC for their new secondary jersey.It says, "recreated" right on the image, but is it a recreation of a real leak? It does have a variation on the argyle/diamond thing that SKC have been doing. Also, Sporting KC updated their profile pic to neon right after the leak and posted this little video.This may not be the exact kit, but I bet it's pretty close and I like the bold choice. It's a secondary kit, have fun with it! Before we finish with the Sporting KC news, Sheena does a bio of SKC's newest signing, Calvin Harris.The KC Current didn't have much this week, but they did have all four of their USWNT players start in the 6-0 win over Paraguay and announced a couple more preseason games:Sat. JAN 31 - Denver SummitSat. FEB 7 - Angel City FCIn the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:Four countries doing their basecamp in KC: Argentina, Netherlands, England and AlgeriaMLS rule changesTrinity Rodman's record deal to stay in the NWSLA weird LA Galaxy/St. Louis City trade rumorHere is a rundown of topics and start times:Sporting KC rumors and a coaching staff announcement - 7:42KC Current update - 50:47Digital Crawl - 56:19As a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled dot com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!In this deeply honest and reflective conversation, I sit down with Hanako Greensmith—actor, artist, and series regular on Chicago Fire—to explore what happens between the milestones.I've had the joy of knowing Hanako since her training years at Pace University, and here she speaks with remarkable openness about ambition, self-worth, burnout, and the inner work required to sustain a creative life.We talk about the pressure to constantly do more, the belief that rest must be earned, and how easily high achievers learn to equate worth with productivity. Hanako reflects on learning to trust herself without over-preparing, on noticing when familiar patterns no longer serve her, and on what it means to reconnect with creativity beyond external validation.This conversation also touches on:Navigating the “in-between” seasons of an artistic careerThe tension between stability and creative freedomSensitivity as a strength rather than a flawWhy nature can be a powerful emotional and energetic resetLetting go of identities that once felt essentialRedefining success beyond credits, roles, or outcomesAt its heart, this episode is about learning to listen inwardly, honoring what you need now, and allowing yourself to evolve—without rushing the process.A note from LisaAs STOPTIME: Live in the Moment approaches five years of conversations (almost six!), I'm revisiting and re-sharing a few favorite episodes—conversations that continue to resonate and meet us exactly where we are. This one felt especially worth returning to.Thank you for listening—and for being part of this journey.— Lisa

Tragedies often reveal what we're really made of. When times are unthinkably tough, heroes rise up, offering sacrificial acts of courage, endurance, and love toward others. These acts of faith are reflections of God's light, the brightness that shines when life is dim. Some of those heroic acts make headlines, while others are performed quietly. At Horizon, we'll explore six tragedies -- the Titanic, Chernobyl, Mount St. Helens, Concentration Camps, the Crippled Flight 1380, and the Chicago Fire -- and see how real people shone brightly amidst the darkness, pointing us to God's presence in suffering.
Hey, soccer fans! I hope you're keeping warm this January. The Chicago Fire certainly are keeping us engaged with the latest transfer moves - Kellyn Acosta and the club have mutually parted ways. The MLS veteran helped bring the Men in Red into a new era under Gregg Berhalter, setting standards in training, professionalism, and play - and gave us one of the most memorable goals in Chicago Fire history, the Windy City Miracle against Montreal in 2024. Tune in to hear Nick's thoughts on Acosta's impact and how the roster has to evolve without him. The Fire also sign another South African international, Puso Dithejane, a winger from TS Galaxy. Dithejane brings youth, depth, and speed to the Fire wings. Nick discusses where they new player will fit within the Fire's system and how this could be the first domino to fall to shake up the winger position on the roster. Tune in and join the conversation!

Hey, soccer fans! Happy New Year! The sudden firing of Wilfried Nancy by Celtic Football Club got Nick thinking: Can Major League Soccer coaches find success abroad? To test this theory, he looks at the recent, former coaches of the Chicago Fire: Frank Klopas, Ezra Hendrickson, Raphael Wicky, and Veljko Paunovic. Despite the small sample size, Nick is able to draw some larger conclusions based on the former managers of the Men in Red. Tune in as he breaks down their careers and analyzes whether MLS managers can find success abroad. Nick looks at winning percentage, difficulty of the league, and expectations placed upon the coaches by their respective teams. He also reveals Opta's current rankings of the Top 10 soccer leagues in the world. Tune in and join the conversation! Make sure you like & subscribe, rate & review, and keep growing the show.

For the Glory KC is back with the 160th episode of the show and the first of 2026!Sporting Kansas City officially had a relatively quiet week. Unofficially, they have a coach they are set to announce on Monday. Tom Bogert is reporting it, and the team was already teasing an announcement before he broke the story. It looks like it's long rumored Raphael Wicky, who we learned about over a month ago. We give our initial reactions to the news.While that's unofficial, the team did make one official move this week. Sporting KC traded with the Chicago Fire for 21-year-old right back Justin Reynolds. Couple that with the rumored transfer for Cesar Inga and suddenly Sporting KC nearly have enough defenders to actually play a soccer match.Sheena and I weigh in on all the news with preseason set to start next weekend. We recap the offseason and the state of the roster, coaching staff and all things Sporting KC headed into the 2026 season. There is still a lot of work to be done and hopefully it's a very busy week of announcements and press conferences to come.The KC Current got only bad news this week with the announcement that Mary Long tore her ACL. It makes the departure of Alex Pfeiffer even more stunning since the forward depth is nonexistent for the Current. That said, Bia Zaneratto remains available to sign according to her agent. Plus, we talk about happy news for several players who got married or engaged recently.In the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:The Columbus Crew hired a coach (only SKC are unofficially left without one)LA Galaxy's Puig has another knee surgeryUSL Championship have labor problemsHere is a rundown of topics and start times:Sporting KC have their coach, right? - 4:53SKC signing and rumor - 15:51Where do things stand with SKC? - 26:59KC Current injury - 54:02Digital Crawl - 1:04:57As a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled dot com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

Happy New Year, soccer fans! With the new year comes new roster moves for Chicago Fire FC. They transfer homegrown defender Justin Reynolds to Sporting Kansas City and sign free agent goalkeeper Josh Cohen. Tune in as Nick breaks down the details of the transfers and gives his opinions on how this strengthens the Men in Red for the upcoming 2026 MLS season. These moves create some flexibility to roster Robin Lod and provide an improvement at the backgup goalkeeper position. Cohen also brings a wealth of experience - having started UEFA Champions League matches - and will push starter Chris Brady to keep improving. Tune in and join the conversation!

This week on The Nikki & Brie Show, everyone's asking the same question: Is Nikki starring in a holiday movie?! Not quite—but her new Google AI Shopping Ad has people convinced she's headlining a Hallmark film.

From cut kissing scenes to turtlenecks, Nikki shares what really happened on set and why Hallmark might need to give her and Brie a call ASAP.Then it's time to get unhinged in the “Hear Me Out” game: a hilarious round of unexpected crush confessions. Animated characters? Nikki's team Shrek. Fictional villains? Brie's trying to fix The Joker. And don't even get them started on hot UPS drivers and flight attendants. They're revealing who gives “dad vibes,” which professions are sneakily sexy, and the weird scenarios that shouldn't be hot but are (spoiler: getting coffee orders wrong is a BIG no).Nikki & Brie just might be ready for their rom-com era.
