Welp. It happened again :( Our beloved Jacks fell to NCFC by a score of 0-3 at home last Saturday and it has brought out some intense emotions from the Independence fanbase. Our good friend Chris Davis joined Ben and Alex to discuss the loss, the season as a whole and a little bit of the philosophy behind what we do at Talkin’ Jacks. It was a great conversation and one of our favorite episodes to date, despite some of the poor play recently. In segment 2, we interviewed Matt from the Unused Substitutes to talk all things Tampa Bay Rowdies. We talked about Tampa’s form to start the year, former Jacks Yann Ekra and Jaime Siaj. We also chat a bit about Neil Collins’ approach in his first full season as the head coach. If you want to hear more from Matt, check out the Unused Substitutes wherever you listen to podcasts, or go to http://www.theunsubs.com. Thank you for listening! Come on you Jacks!

Talkin’ Jacks co-host Ben Goshorn joined us to talk about the slow start for the Charlotte Independence, what he’s seen from the team this year, and just why the sky isn’t falling...yet.
On this episode of Talkin’ Jacks, we had to wait a day to record because everything was so wet from watching the game on Saturday! Speaking of Saturday, the Jacks went down 1-0 to a stout St. Louis FC in a game that played out almost exactly as we expected it to. We broke down what happened on the goal, and what - if anything - the Independence could have done to get a better result in the end. Finally, we covered the news of Bilal Duckett’s retirement and the Charlotte Hounds announcing a 2 year hiatus and what impact that could have on the Independence. Thank you for listening!

AAAAANDD BREATHE!!! Alex and Ben are back on Talkin’ Jacks to break down a WILD 3-3 draw with ATL UTD II! We go over every detail of this crazy game from the opening goal where the Jacks were sleepwalking, to the epic comeback and go ahead moment at the end and of course, the back-breaking equalizer moments after that. It was a wild ride, and we try to make some sense of it. After that we answer all of the great questions we got from listeners. Thank you for listening! Come on you Jacks!

The 2019 season is upon us and Talkin’ Jacks is back and better than ever! (very low bar there) Ben and Alex recap what has been one of the crazier off-seasons for the Jacks. We talk about the coaching change, this being a “pivot” season for the club and the many new additions to the roster. After that we make a couple “very specific predictions” for the Charlotte Independence and we invite you to share your very specific predictions with us for a chance to win a Talkin’ Jacks item of your choice! Finally, we answer listener questions and rag on Ben for not knowing that Bob Bradley was Michael Bradley’s dad! This was a fun one. Thank you for listening! Come on you Jacks!

**ALARM SOUNDS** This is an emergency episode of Talkin’ Jacks!! The Charlotte Independence have a new head coach! An organizational reshuffle sees Mike Jeffries assume the role of General Manager and Jim McGuinness take over as Head Coach. Alex and Ben dive in to Jim’s unique background in Gaelic football and talk about what this means for the Independence moving forward. Ben and Chris also had the honor of hosting the first interview with the brand new Head Coach and we are very thankful to Jim and the club for setting that up. If you’re only here for the interview skip to 10:36. Thank you for listening and we hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday season! Happy Holidays! Come on you Jacks!

Much like PENvCLT, this episode rocks back and forth between fun and sad, miserable and entertaining. Alex and Ben discuss the good, Zayed’s two goals, the bad, giving up two goals in ten minutes, and the ugly, Bilal Duckett’s poor shoulder. We also argue about the definition of mediocre and whether or not the Independence fit the description this season. It was a tough way to draw a must-win game, but there is always some fun to be had on Talkin’ Jacks. We hope you enjoy the show. Thank you for listening! Come on you Jacks!

Welcome back to Talkin’ Jacks! On this edition, Ben and Alex keep things short and simple, much like the Charlotte Independence did against Toronto FC II on Saturday night. It was a truly “workmanlike” performance from the Jacks, who scored twice and then killed the game off well after TFCII pulled a goal back. We broke down the goals and talked about who our man of the match was. No listener questions in this one, but make sure you come out to the Ronald McDonald house for “Jacks Give Back” on Saturday May 26th at 10 am! Thank you for listening! Come on you Jacks!

We both thought this was Charlotte’s worst performance of the young season and talked about why they might should feel lucky to walk away with a point.
