After so many technical difficulties that we could hardly begin to name them all, Ben and I are back with another Rapids Thugcast! Seriously, we've been trying to keep these coming out but we're not the most technically proficient people there are out there, apparently.

Listen to this week's thugcast and you can hear Ben and I blab about the following topics:

* Last week's debacle against the Columbus Crew and a few theories as to what's going on with this squad that's keeping them from hitting their full, well known potential. Also included is us gushing over the chalkboard feature on MLSsoccer.com.
* A bit on the Rapids trip to the White House to talk to the president and put 2010 finally behind them.
* Complaints about Bob Bradley and the US Men's National Team, as per usual for us.
* A preview of the Dynamo match, including two predictions of wins, and big wins to boot.

So yeah, this week the episode features... me talking to myself. Long story, I tell it at the beginning of the episode. Either way, I'm not all that good at talking by myself so this isn't quite our best material! Ben and hopefully Jed will be back next week along with my sanity and computer.

Listen to this trainwreck episode and hear me blab about the following topics:

* My computer issues and how there were like 3 different takes of this episode - I even gave up slapping the intro and outro on it after all the problems were over. Ugh.
* A happy birthday shout-out to Jed
* The Portland game's 1-0 result for the Rapids along with a thanks to the Timber's Army for being so cool about hosting us after we hosted them
* A long rant about how much the US Men's National Team is terrible and will never win a world cup at this rate
* Previewing the LA Galaxy game happening tomorrow, drink every time I say the word "Donovan" if you want to get sloshed real quick.

It's that time again, our weekly podcast has been released, featuring myself and Bulldog Ben. Jed's not here this week, booooo. Apparently he had something better to do, although that could pretty much be anything.

Take in this week's show and you'll hear us cover such exciting topics as:
* The Sporting Kansas City match and how badly the Rapids got outplayed during the 1-1 draw at home.
* The newest round of Jersey Sponsor rumors and why you probably shouldn't get your hopes up - just like the last twenty times.
* Another fan letter, this one from Richard Terry. He requests we talk about some of the recent coach sackings that have taken place in MLS.
* Laughing at Sepp Blatter and the current mess that is FIFA.
* Previewing this Saturday's Philadelphia Union game, including discussing their 6-2 drubbing of Toronto and the seeming inevitability of a draw happening between them and the currently draw-happy Rapids.

It's that time again, the most ghetto and dirtiest podcast in football comes at'cha again thanks to myself, Ben and Jed. We're actually starting to get used to doing this, I think - minus the fact that Jed's audio still sounds like he has a blender behind him the entire show, but whatayagonnado? I should probably stop forgetting to introduce myself as well for all these, but you all know who I am anyway.

Take in this week's show and you'll hear us cover such exciting topics as:
* The Toronto FC draw and the New York Red Bulls draw, along with discussion on why both of those games could actually have pretty easily been wins for the Rapids with a bit more luck.
* Ben talking about this article, where Don Garber was interviewed about expansion and pretty much killed any chance of a team not called the Cosmos being the 20th in MLS.
* Another Paul Merritt e-mail discussed by us about rooting around the lower leagues of the world's footballing community to try and find another Luke Rodgers.
* A discussion of Omar Cummings' importance - or lack thereof - to the squad.
* Previewing Sporting Kansas City on Saturday, where once again we all predicted a win (and will probably be demoralized again come next week's show. Damn you offense!)

Back for another week, and we're even worse than the last time because we have so much to talk about... plus we got a logo now, courtesy of this dude. 

Take in this week's show and you'll hear us cover such exciting topics as:
* The Porsche sponsorship deal (This was recorded right before they confirmed that it wasn't a jersey sponsorship so... yeah, little bit out of date on that.)
* The CCL draw for Colorado and the eventual four teams we'd most like to see
* The DC United draw, including Terry Vaughn's make-up call and how the road trip wound up successful
* A discussion on Kosuke Kimura and the defensive depth - This was a fan-requested topic, please feel free to e-mail me or Ben anything you want us to talk about on the show!
* Predictions for the Toronto FC match and some stats about the two teams fouling tendencies
* A cameo appearance by Ben's cell phone

40 minutes of half-decent show plus our usual technical errors, most of which involve Jed needing to get a new microphone and Ben sounding like he's jingling keys in front of his the entire show. Either way, click on our snazzy new logo down there to listen to the show, and we hope you enjoy this and every coming episode of the Rapids Thugcast.

...This is where our logo would be if we had a logo. (Make us one? :3)

That's right, Burgundy Wave has joined the fray of blogs with voiced programs now. Introducing the podcast that absolutely nobody was asking for, the Rapids Thugcast! We've taken the ironic #RapidsThugLife meme so far that we've named our podcast after it, that's right.

Today on our first ever show, we discuss:
*Marcos Mondaini's - a name which none of us can pronounce -  4 game suspension vs. Brian Mullan's 10 gamer and why the MLS screwed up.
*The injury situation and the sudden emergence of Andre Akpan.
*Some predictions for the upcoming DC United match this Saturday.

This being our first ever podcast together with Me, Ben and Jed, I'd say it actually went surprisingly smoothly. Hopefully you enjoy it, feel free to levy your comments and criticisms on our ghetto, terrible technological skills below! Some day, we might even figure out how to actually distribute this on iTunes... you know, like actual Podcasts do.
