Obed Vargas joins Jeremiah to talk about his whirlwind soccer year so far. Obed discusses his rapid fire transition from Major League Soccer preseason with the Sounders directly into training with Atletico Madrid. He also details his experience playing for and representing Mexico at this year's World Cup, what it is like to adjust to a lifestyle in Spain and what objectives he seeks for his playing future.Sponsor

The Seattle Sounders are coming off arguably the worst performance in club history, and for an occasion this unprecedented, we're devoting the entire show to processing the fallout. After entering the World Cup break at 7-3-3, Seattle returned to a 5-1 annihilation by the Portland Timbers in front of more than 35,000 fans at Lumen Field. On this episode we'll break down every angle of the historic collapse. Was it an inexplicable outlier or an x-ray of deeper problems? How much responsibility belongs to Brian Schmetzer and Craig Waibel, and what does the result say about Seattle's roster construction, ownership spending and veteran leadership? We'll also examine Jordan Morris' complicated DP situation, the decision to send Snyder Brunell and Paul Rothrock to face the media, and where the Sounders go from here.Follow Lobbing Scorchers: YouTube Instagram Bluesky TikTok Facebook Ari Liljenwall Noah Riffe Niko MorenoSPONSORSQED Coffee - a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.

Gray whales have long been considered one of conservation's greatest success stories, recovering from the brink of extinction after commercial whaling. But today, the species is facing new challenges. In this episode, we sit down with marine mammal researcher John Calambokidis, co-founder of Cascadia Research Collective, to explore the fascinating world of gray whales and discuss the troubling decline currently affecting the eastern North Pacific population. John shares insights from more than four decades of whale research, including the remarkable story of the "Sounders"—a unique group of gray whales that have learned to feed in the Salish Sea — and what their behavior may teach us about resilience and adaptation in a changing ocean. We discuss: What makes gray whales unique among baleen whales The history and discovery of the Sounders gray whales in Puget Sound How researchers identify and track individual gray whales over decades The surprising connections between eastern and western North Pacific gray whales The ongoing decline in gray whale numbers and calf production How climate-driven changes in Arctic feeding grounds are impacting whales today Ship strikes, entanglements, and other human-caused threats Reasons for hope and what people can do to help protect whales Learn more about Cascadia Research Collective and their work: https://cascadiaresearch.org If you are enjoying listening to our podcast, please share this with your friends, follow/subscribe, and leave us feedback/reviews wherever you listen to podcasts! And if you'd like to join Jeff and Sara on a whale watching tour in 2026, please check out to Maya's Legacy Whale Watching to book!  You can also find us on Instagram, Facebook and Youtube.

Once again, every MLS club is out of Conacaf Champions Cup, which means the 2022 Seattle Sounders remain the ONLY MLS team to ever win the modern version of the tournament. What did that Sounders team have that the rest of MLS still hasn't replicated? We dive into the roster construction, mentality, depth, experience and timing that helped Seattle break through where every other club has fallen short. Then we shift into the ongoing No. 9 discourse surrounding the Sounders attack, including the current striker platoon of Jordan Morris, Osaze De Rosario and Danny Musovski. Is there a real answer on this roster? We wrap up by digging through the MLS salary guide to identify the biggest bargains, best values, and biggest over- and under-performers on Seattle's roster relative to their contracts.Follow Lobbing Scorchers: YouTube Instagram Bluesky TikTok Facebook Ari Liljenwall Noah Riffe Niko MorenoSPONSORS☕️ Lobbing Scorchers Kickoff is presented by QED Coffee a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.

A night to forget in Kansas City. The LA Galaxy fell 1-3 to Sporting KC, a team that hadn't won in eight matches. From "staying in the hotel room" to a lack of tactical flexibility, we break down why this performance was truly unacceptable for a playoff-contending team.

In the third hour, Dave Softy Mahler and Hugh Millen chat with Larry Stone about Twitter hacks, Cal Raleigh’s slump, the Mariners six man rotation, Seahawks opener and NCAA playoff formats, then the guys talk more about the continued changes with the College Football Playoff format before Jackson Felts joins from Lumen Field for Sounders x-talk.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sounders won big last night, and Jackson discusses how big it was for the team. Cal Raleigh heads to the 10-day DL - how are we feeling about him at this time? He needs some time off and a full uniform shower can only do so much. Bryce Miller is BACK! We discuss the work he did to get back, considering how much he had to do to get right between Everett and Tacoma. Softy's sources tell him many of the Seahawks' scheduled games prior to the actual release, and we look at what this season could look like for Seattle. There are leaks out for the NFL schedule right now - when looking ahead, how much should we realistically expect from the Seahawks this year? The World Cup is coming up and one of the hopefuls to make the US National Team, Cristian Roldan joins us to talk about the Sounders win last night and his potential to be a part of the World Cup. Corbin Smith, Emerald City Spectrum joins Anders and Jackson to talk about the NFL schedule release and what it means for the Seahawks. How much does this schedule release actually matter? Corbin nerds out with the guys. He's also really high on the opening quarter of the season for Seattle and 100% sees what he expected with the primetime games they were awarded. Corbin thinks there's good reason to see the Seahawks start 6-0. The NFC West is gonna be the hardest focus for Seattle. The Daily Power Play! Eno Sarris, The Athletic joins Anders and Jackson as we are wrapping up the Mariners game in Houston. He breaks down Bryce Miller's first start back from the IL. What do the numbers say about six-man rotations throughout history? Eno says it benefits a playoff-bound team. The Dodgers are doing it without even announcing it. Also, why is Houston so bad right now? Finally, what are some reasonable expectations for Cal Raleigh this season after he set the bar so high last year? We check the talkbacks and texts and finally, speak to Softy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Seattle Sounders FC Head Coach Brian Schmetzer joins Softy and Dick Fain to discuss the team’s latest draw coming against San Diego last weekend, the efforts to get more offense from the team and find one forward to take over, the packed week for both his team and the next opponent, facing San Jose tomorrow, plus their coach Bruce Arena.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Aaron and Jeremiah discuss their frustrations about the home tie against San Diego. Aaron definitely was more annoyed than Jeremiah but that they both agree that it's a missed opportunity. In the second segment the guys preview the Earthquakes and have to admit that they are a good team. The match up the second time around might prove to be tougher than the first result.Sponsor

We'll kick off with a full breakdown of another 1-1 draw for the Seattle Sounders and why the result felt like two points dropped after the Sporting KC stalemate. Then, we shift into the ongoing discourse: who should lead the Sounders' attack? Was Danny Musovski's goal against San Diego enough to earn him a run in the starting role? We also address the emerging left-back issue after Nouhou appeared to take a knock late in the match, who might need to step in, and how that change could affect the lineup. Later on, we preview a daunting midweek matchup with the high-flying, league-leading San Jose Earthquakes and outline adjustments Seattle must make to survive a side in excellent form. Finally, we scan MLS Matchday 12, highlight LAFC's surprising collapse to Houston, and consider whether Concacaf Champions Cup fatigue is a league-wide factor.Follow Lobbing Scorchers: YouTube Instagram Bluesky TikTok Facebook Ari Liljenwall Noah Riffe Niko MorenoSPONSORS☕️ Lobbing Scorchers Kickoff is presented by QED Coffee a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.
